Chapter 45: The Beiyang Mutiny Unfolded by God
Completely out of Wen Desi's expectations, this "auspicious" incident, which he originally thought was similar to a spoof, had a very strict effect on my Daqing, and it was rapidly intensifying. Well, the unfolding of the "auspicious" incident has also exceeded the expectations of the initiator Liu Yang.
Because of the impact of the "Xiangrui" incident, Yuan Shikai resigned from his position on January 7 and asked to return to his hometown. Lafayette naturally rejected the invitation and appeased him in person.
However, the Qing court only appeased the big heads and a few upper classes of Beiyang, but forgot to pacify the middle and lower classes of Beiyang and the Eight Banners themselves. The upper class knows the inside story, of course, they will not take these "auspicious rui" seriously, but the middle and lower class people will not think so, even if they don't believe in auspicious rui, they also think that the Qing court is not ready to take the opportunity to attack the big head.
On the evening of January 1o, when the second and fourth towns of Hubei were preparing for the final repairs and supplies in Beijing, some middle- and lower-ranking officers went to the brothel for recreation, but they clashed with the officers of the first town, who also came here.
The first town is basically a banner people, and the officers and soldiers in it are very opposed to Yuan Shikai. Because of the Kyodo Society's "22 Electric" and "Xiangrui" incidents, they have long been angry with Yuan Shikai. At this time, he drank high again, so he took the opportunity to scold Yuan Shikai for being a rebellious thief, and said that Beiyang colluded with the revolutionary party, and sooner or later he would be punished by all of them.
The second and fourth towns are both Yuan Shikai's hardcore henchmen, and the Qing court has repeatedly belittled and suppressed Yuan Shikai over the years, and now it is so obvious to frame the blame (everyone thinks that the "Xiangrui" incident was carried out by Xiao Gongwang and his gang). Everyone is scolding the traitorous ministers with alcohol at this time, and then hearing the curses of the flag man next door, where can they stand it?
As for the bandits recommending Lord Yuan to preside over the transitional government, that is because people have the foresight to know that no one in China today can play a game except for Duke Yuan, so if you don't look for Duke Yuan, will you still look for you flag men who can only carry cages and birds? Lord Yuan has been loyal for decades, but he has been forced to do this by you flag men who are dogs. If you collude with the revolutionary party, you will go to Hubei to suppress a JB bandit?
The more everyone listened, the more angry they became, it was really aunty that she couldn't bear her uncle, I don't know who shouted: "Go, smoke the ...... raised by these girls"
The alcohol and anger immediately exploded, and even a few who were still a little sensible felt that it was a pleasant thing to clean up these flag men who were full of feces, so they went down the river.
There was no suspense in the battle, and the officers of the first town, who were at a disadvantage in numbers, were beaten by their angry opponents, and they were really beaten so much that they didn't even know their mother.
If the matter ends here, then it will be a brawl at most, and there are many such things in the army. But it was here that the unfolding of things began, "God unfolded......
Several of the first town horses who were waiting for Shangguan outside the gate saw that something was wrong and immediately ran back to the camp to bring in rescuers. The first town is located in the city, so it came quickly.
The officers of the second and fourth towns were also a little careless in their victory, and did not run out of the city at the first time. As a result, just as they were about to leave the city, they were blocked by reinforcements from the first town, and the next thing was their bad luck. Dozens of Han Chinese officers were beaten by 2 battalions of bannermen......
However, just as the siege was drawing to a close, reinforcements from the second and fourth towns arrived. They came with a full 2 standard ...... When they saw that their people had become "giant pandas", lying on the ground with more breath and less breath, all their calmness and reason were thrown out of the clouds. As a result, the screams of the flag people killing pigs sounded in Beijing's Xibianmen.
The policemen and old soldiers in the city who were responsible for maintaining order didn't dare to take care of it at all, so they had to watch their brains beat out their brains and send people to inform the bigwigs of all parties. However, most of the dozen or so people who sent the news were missing, and reinforcements from both sides continued to arrive.
One hour later, the vicinity of Xibianmen had become a large group of tens of thousands of people.
At this time, the two sides finally had the last sanity, and although they carried guns, they only used their fists and feet, not knives and guns.
The high-ranking officials of the towns who finally learned the news rushed to the scene with their cronies and gendarmes to suppress the bullets, and it took a lot of effort to separate the two sides. Ma Longbiao, the commander of the second town, was the first to arrive at the scene, and he was on a horse, standing between the two sides, and was about to say something.
At this moment, several gunshots suddenly rang out from the first town, and Ma Longbiao immediately fell in response.
In an instant, gunshots rang out in the second and fourth towns, and several flag man officers also lay down.
It's terrible now, the two sides are already angry, and the love is already at the critical point, and these shots are the fuse for the final explosion. Suddenly, there was a lot of gunfire in the city of Beijing, and the soldiers of the three towns fought together.
The combat effectiveness of the first town was originally the lowest among the six towns, and the strength was at a disadvantage, in this kind of close combat, it was quickly kneeled, and after nearly a few hundred dead and wounded, the remaining soldiers fled towards the wolf bèi in the city. There are a lot of alleys in Beijing, and these local snakes are very familiar with this place, and they will disappear when they drill into the alleys, so that their opponents can't catch up.
The officers and men of the 2nd Town, who were angry with their anger, of course, would not count it like this, and under the instigation of some well-intentioned people, they shouted slogans such as "Soldiers, soldiers, Qingjun, kill King Gong!", "Seek justice for Lord Yuan!", "Please Lord Yuan preside over the government affairs", and so on. While sending people to the barracks to gather the remaining officers and soldiers, they killed each of the traitors they thought they had identified.
By the time He Zonglian, the commander of the first town, and Wu Fengling, the commander of the fourth town, arrived, the situation was completely out of control. The officers and soldiers of the 2 towns had already scattered all over the city, and the 2 commanders only divided their heads to stop them.
By the time Yuan Shikai was dragged out of the bed by his cronies, the inner city where the banner people lived was already on fire, and there were shouts of killing and screams everywhere. This rebellion, known as the "Double Ten Incident", has reached the **.
Prince Gong's Mansion was the first to suffer, and when the rebels rushed into the palace, King Xiao Gong had not yet reacted. He was dragged from his bed to the patio by the soldiers, beaten violently, and then shot to death. Then Xiaogong Wang Puwei's wives and concubines, children, housekeepers and close servants and other cronies were all identified by the familiar rebels and ordered to kneel in the garden and feed the guns one by one. Then he snatched it again, took it with a large bag, and happily went to the next traitor.
The entire palace of King Gong was killed by the rebels, and the whole family survived, and only King Gong's younger brother Pu Ru survived. Pu Ru is much stronger than his brother's character, this is known as the "clan prodigy" Xiao Zhengtai is very popular with Cixi, usually goes to Ouchi to study, today happened to be left by Lafayette did not come back, just escaped the catastrophe.
This was followed by the hapless Prince Su Shanqi. Although Shanqi is also a member of the Zongshe Party, he is not as extreme as Xiao Gongwang and others, and his relationship with the big head is not too bad. Originally, the target of the rebels was Prince Alcohol Zaifeng, a hardcore anti-Yuan faction, but they found the wrong temple gate in a daze, so Shanqi was shot while lying down.
Fortunately, Shanqi is also in charge of police affairs, and some police subordinates have ventilated the news in advance to make him more prepared, and when the rebels stormed the palace, he immediately fled from the tunnel with his children and families. The rebels who didn't find the main owner vented their anger on the people of the palace, and a few concubines and maids who didn't have time to escape were snapped by the beastly rebels. After the rebels killed and robbed, they lit a fire and left.
The rebels originally wanted to kill all the anti-Yuan factions, but after killing the red eye and grabbing the red eye, they began to crook the building, as long as they saw that it was a luxurious mansion, they rushed in and robbed it. As a result, the banner nobles of the inner city were unlucky. When they got to the back, the gangsters in the capital also took action, they followed behind the rebels, like vultures following hyenas, and when the rebels finished robbing, they then rushed in and grabbed another handful.
Another group of rebels prepared to attack the Forbidden City, but it was heavily guarded and the gates were thick. This time the rebels were not organized at all, and they did not carry artillery, explosives, etc. In this case, it is naturally impossible to break through the defenses of the Praetorian Guard. The two sides just ping-pong each other.
No matter what others say, Yuan Datou really didn't have any dissent towards the Qing court at this time. The main Cixi gave him a relatively large psychological shadow, and in addition, this mutiny was completely accidental, and he was completely unaware of it in advance, so he was unprepared. So despite the rebels' clamor to let him take the throne, after some consideration, he decided to side with the Qing court, at least until Cixi didn't hang up, he didn't dare to have any ideas.
But things have come to this point, and Yuan Datou has no good way. Most of the officers and soldiers in the second and fourth towns have been out of control, and now they are killing the red eye, and even if he comes forward at this time, he can't hold it down. He consulted Tie Liang and others overnight, and everyone thought about it, but they only organized the officers and soldiers of the first town, and the part of the second and fourth towns that did not participate in the rebellion was quickly suppressed, and the sixth town of Baoding was mobilized to Beijing to support.
Yuan Datou and Tie Liang, these high-ranking officials in Beiyang, were still very decisive, and they directly dragged heavy machine guns and artillery into the city, but fortunately most of the artillery did not participate in the riot, or they would have only stared dryly. Although the total strength of the Qing army was not superior, the rebel troops did not have a unified command and had been dispersed, and the Qing army had artillery and heavy machine guns to suppress the formation, and had an absolute advantage in firepower.
Under the tactics of various breakthroughs, the Qing army gradually took control of the situation. By noon the next day, the night's riot had finally stopped.
Although the riots were suppressed, the mess left behind was not small. The entire inner city is in a mess, dozens of Eight Banners aristocratic mansions and thousands of middle and lower class banner people were given three lights by the chaotic soldiers, not to mention killing and robbing, and a fire was burned, after a night of beating, smashing, robbing, burning, and killing, now nearly one-fifth of the inner city is in ruins, countless corpses are filled with it, and the suffocating atmosphere of fireworks envelops the entire Sijiu City.
Looking at the tragic situation in front of them, the high-ranking officials of the Qing court had different expressions, some cried bitterly, some scolded, some were stunned, and more felt extremely frightened.
Cixi was escorted by a team of Praetorian Guards out of the Forbidden City, and when she saw this scene, she was dumbfounded: "This ...... This...... How so?"
She turned to Yuan Shikai, who was standing on the side, and said angrily: "Yuan Shikai, take a look...... These are all good soldiers you trained...... Look...... Are you guilty?"
Yuan Shikai hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, he said calmly: "Queen Mother, the minister doesn't know what the crime is?" The minister has already handed over the Beiyang affairs, and the minister has no idea about the mutiny......
Tie Liang also hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Queen Mother, the minister guarantees that this mutiny has nothing to do with Yuan Zhongtang, the cause is the brawl between the first town and the second town and the fourth town...... Although Tie Liang is also very jealous of the big head, he can distinguish the importance and the severity, and he is not as funny as King Xiaogong. Well, being able to tease and force Xiao Gongwang to that kind of Cheng dù can be regarded as a rare wonder.
Prince Yixuan, a good friend of the big head, also hurriedly stepped forward to vouch for the big head. At the beginning of these two, other ministers also stepped forward to intercede, many of which were members of the Qing court. Yixuan and a few people really don't want to fall big, while others are afraid, and last night's mutiny really scared them.
Don't forget, the second and fourth towns are not counted, and the new army of the three towns is Yuan Shikai's henchman. If you dispose of the big head, the other Beiyang Army will make trouble again, and then there will be a Qingjun or something, will everyone still live?
Cixi seemed to have figured this out, she stared at Yuan Shikai with a gloomy face, and said for a long time: "The mourning family is in a hurry, but Yuan Zhongtang is wrong." Yuan Zhongtang has made a contribution to quelling the chaos this time, and the mourning family has to reward you well...... Okay, you and Tie Liang will be responsible for the aftermath here......"
After finishing speaking, he drove back to the palace, and after walking for a while, Cixi suddenly coughed violently, and Li Lianying hurriedly asked people to stop the sedan chair and run in to serve.
As soon as she entered the sedan chair, Li Lianying was so frightened that her face turned green. I saw that Cixi's face was pale, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, and the handkerchief in her hand was even more cloudy.
"Old ...... Galeries Lafayette ......"
"Don't make a noise, keep walking......" Cixi glanced at him and calmly wiped the corners of her mouth clean.

Neijiang, Xingke headquarters.
"Mr. Wen, it's a pity that the Beiyang Mutiny came too suddenly. We are not well prepared and have insufficient manpower, so we can only push it a little bit and do not achieve greater benefits......" On the call screen, Liu Yang said in a regretful tone.
"Okay, okay...... With a little push, this effect can be achieved, and I am already very satisfied...... "Wen Deji is really embarrassed."
He didn't expect that the Tianjin branch would make such a big move. Almost half of the Beiyang Army was reimbursed at once.
Liu Yang introduced the story again, and when he learned the news of the Beiyang Army's brawl in the brothel, he felt that it was an opportunity, so he used several dark lines in the Beiyang Army to make them fight more fiercely and delay the time of the expedition. However, two local cadres in the Tianjin branch came up with a bold plan, and Liu Yang agreed after a little thought.
As a result, the Tianjin branch made a big move, and in such a way, it turned an ordinary brawl into a mutiny.
"Mr. Wen, I want to recommend two talents to you, that is, the promoters of this mutiny plan, although they did not achieve their expected results, but they are also very good. Liu Yang continued.
"Oh, who is it?" Wen Desi suddenly became interested, this Liu Yang has been released for so long, and it is the first time to recommend talents to himself. Wen Desi knew very well that Liu Yang was the kind of person whose eyes were above the top, and he couldn't even afford other high-level cyborgs, let alone the natives of this plane.
Liu Yang said succinctly: "One is named Fan Han, who used to study at the University of Massachusetts in the United States and is a mathematician. The other is Zhang Yuandu, a religious scholar...... I've promoted them to the positions of stationmasters in Beijing and Tianjin......"
