Chapter 20 Seizing Power (1)

ps: Today's first update is three thousand words, and there is another three thousand words update at nine o'clock in the evening.

As soon as the imperial guard finished speaking, he felt a chill behind his back. As soon as he turned around, a big sword with a cold light had already slashed in the air. The poor imperial guard did not suck opium and even screamed, and blood splattered five steps.

The opium-sucking imperial guards, who were smoking opium, threw it away and fled, ready to sound the alarm. At this time, a gunshot sounded. The opium-sucking imperial guards looked at the hole in their chest with blood bubbles in disbelief, staring at the bull's eyes and falling down unwillingly. They seemed very unwilling to accept the moment before their consciousness disappeared: "Damn it, the blessing and longevity cream I bought for half a month has not taken a few puffs..."

In an instant, the sound of gunfire like firecrackers sounded from the gates of the Forbidden City.

Suddenly, an imperial guard broke into the room of the imperial guard commander. At this time, the imperial guard commander was lying on a young woman and working hard. He did not shy away when he saw his subordinates coming in. It was just at a critical moment!

The imperial guards who broke in were stunned at first, then quickly shouted: "Commander, someone has broken into the Forbidden City!"

The Imperial Commander waved his hand and signaled his subordinates to go out first. At this moment, he was at the last moment and had to finish this important thing first if he had anything to do!

The imperial guard who broke in shook his head helplessly, picked up the rifle and ran out.

At this time, the Imperial Commander accelerated and his back was covered in fat and was covered in sweat. The woman beneath her moaned happily.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in the dark and said lightly: "Hey, fat man, have you been excited enough?" A hint of impatientness appeared in his tone. He probably had been waiting for a long time.

The commander of the Imperial Army continued to twitch hard, and suddenly heard a strange voice, and his whole body trembled. I don’t know if it was over. I looked at the direction of the sound in confusion. Suddenly, the hot sweat on my body turned into cold sweat. I didn’t care about the movement. I turned around and pulled out my own guy and wanted to escape, because there was a black gun in front of him!

However, it was too late. With a "bang", the bloody brain plasma sprayed the naked young woman's face. The woman screamed in dismay, pushed away the compost on her body with difficulty, ran outside with her bare butt.

Zhu Lianjie shook his head, put away his pistol, and spitted at the guy who was still holding the sky, cursing: "I didn't expect it to be quite powerful. I've been watching here for so long!"

After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving behind a corpse that was gradually cold.

"Mr. Yuan, the gunshots in the Forbidden City have fired!" said Duan Qirui, the New Military Command.

"Okay, send the order to continue on the radio, and let Feng Guozhang, Cao Kun, Wang Shizhen and other troops launch attacks from each city gate according to the established plan!" Yuan Shikai picked up a rebuttal Mauser pistol, jumped out of the lurking dense forest, and rushed towards the Desheng Gate, which was closest to him.

Deshengmen is an important gateway to the north of the capital and is known as the "military gate". Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty fought northward, Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty quelled the Galdan rebellion, Emperor Qianlong suppressed the Da, and the rebellion of Xiao Hezhuo were all out of the Deshengmen. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, Deshengmen faced the military invasion from the north, and was the most important city defense position in Beijing.

Therefore, Yuan Shikai led the elite troops headed by Duan Qirui to attack this heavily guarded city gate.

Yuan Shikai was worthy of being a brave and good general in the Qing army. He took the lead and took the lead in knocking down a high-rise city wall with an imperial guard who stretched out his head and wanted to see the final battle.

The remaining dozens of imperial guards were curiously looking at the city before they could recover, and they were shot into a sieve by the new Beiyang army in Yuan Shikai's headquarters, which had extremely lethal power.

However, Deshengmen is worthy of being a "military gate", and the quality of the defenders is much higher than that of ordinary Qing troops. After coming back to their senses, they quickly hid in the bunker on the city wall. Relying on their condescending advantages and counterattacked quickly, the first wave of charge led by Duan Qirui was beaten back, and the Beiyang New Army left behind a few bodies and returned in disgrace.

Yuan Shikai used the Qing army's shooting to create a fire. Suddenly, he saw a hideous muzzle sticking out from the city wall. Yuan Shikai's pupils magnified slightly, and soon found that it was a pissed Kase machine gun. Yuan Shikai shouted "Find cover!"

However, before he finished speaking, the hideous muzzle of the Haqi Kess machine gun shot out a brilliant fire, and some of the Beiyang New Army that could not be avoided fell down instantly like ripe rice.

Duan Qirui roared angrily: "Grenade!"

Dozens of Beiyang New Army soldiers around him woke up and took out the grenades they brought with them, pulled off the lock ring, rushed forward and threw them towards the city gate.

However, under the powerful firepower of the defender Haqi Keis machine gun, the Beiyang New Army could not advance half a step and had limited manpower, especially at such a long distance, it could not throw a few feet of high land tower. When the sporadic grenades were thrown a few meters away from the city wall, they were blocked by the high city wall and fell in the corner and exploded without any lethality.

At this moment, the Maxim water-cooled machine gun in Yuan Shikai's army also began to ejaculate an angry tongue of flames. The machine gunner who was just proud on the city wall instantly had his head broken like a broken watermelon.

However, the Haqikes machine gun only rested for a moment, and another machine gunner once again pushed on, using the favorable elevation angle on the city wall to pour bullets on the Beiyang New Army under the city. The orange-yellow shell poured down from the city wall like rain.

This time, the Haqi Kess machine gunner did not rashly stretch out his head like the previous one, relying on the peeping Kong to ruthlessly harvest the lives of nearly a thousand Beiyang New Army under the city.

Although the Maxim machine gun has strong firepower, the dense bullets only hit the thick city walls, which has little effect on the learned defenders.

Yuan Shikai gritted his teeth fiercely. Duan Qirui quickly directed two gunners to carry the mortars to the frontier positions. After quick correction, the mortars made a huge roar, and with a loud "bang", the shells fell on the edge of the city wall, but the thick wall was blown up with a huge gap, which had no effect on the Haqi Keis machine gun that was still spraying the flames.

Under the training of Tian Arden and others, the two gunners were obviously better than ordinary soldiers. They were not panic or discouraged. They adjusted the angle and quickly filled the shells according to law again. With a loud "boom", the Haqi Keis machine gun, which was still arrogant just now, turned into a pile of scrap iron.

Under Yuan Shikai's order, the Beiyang New Army rushed to the city gate like an ant tide!

At this time, there were also dense gunfires in the city gate. When the Beiyang New Army pioneer arrived at the huge city gate of Deshengmen, the city gate was actually opened from inside.

Duan Qirui stepped forward and saw that it was the Beiyang army that was airborne in the Forbidden City who had broken through the defense of the Deshengmen defending the Imperial Army from the inside and came out of the Forbidden City to meet them.

Soon, Yuan Shikai ordered some new troops to quickly remove the remaining defenders on the city gate and block Desheng Gate, and no one should be allowed to enter and exit. Violators would be killed without any punishment! Then he brought some new troops into the Forbidden City and cooperated with Tang Jian's airborne troops to completely accept the Forbidden City.

It was learned from the radio that other Beiyang New Army that captured other city gates were obviously much easier than those of Deshengmen. In some places, they did not even use heavy weapons such as mortars. The defenders were hit by the sudden inside and outside, and their heads were covered, and they quickly threw away their armor and surrendered.

Among them, dozens of people from the "Lone Wolf" troops led by Zhu Lianjie have entered the Yangxin Palace to protect Emperor Guangxu. Another part of the "Lone Wolf" troops led dozens of people from the "Lone Wolf" troops led hundreds of Beiyang New Army to attack the Summer Palace and arrest Cixi.

Emperor Guangxu was curled up in the corner of the wall. He had not slept all night and was worried. The palace was already full of rumors that the Lao Buddha wanted to depose himself in the palace and establish a new emperor.

Just as Emperor Guangxu was sighing in his bedroom, he suddenly heard dense gunshots coming from the Forbidden City. Emperor Guangxu's first thought was: Empress Dowager Cixi led her troops into the palace and launched a palace coup! He even felt that the gunshots outside were getting closer and closer to him. The imperial guards who were still guarding the entrance of the bedroom had already thrown away their weapons and fled in a hurry.

Even the eunuchs and palace maids who usually flattered him were screaming and fleeing everywhere, taking advantage of the situation to hide the items in the palace and flee in a hurry.

After a while, there was no one in the bedroom. What Emperor Guangxu did not expect was that he was the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and in the end there was no one who could protect him. At this time, Emperor Guangxu was already discouraged, and he was trembling and curled up in a corner of the palace. He had long lost his majesty of dominating the world, just like a lamb surrounded by wolves! He had no other way out except to die.

At this time, a young man with a literati looked rushed in. When he saw Emperor Guangxu, he was covered in tears and immediately knelt down and said, "Emperor!" His voice trembled slightly because of excitement.

Emperor Guangxu saw clearly that it was Lin Xu, whom he valued in the reformists. Oh, but before he died, he was a reformist juren in front of him! Emperor Guangxu's eyes showed a kind of loneliness and helplessness.

Only Lin Xu heard said: "Your Majesty, yes...yes...yes...Yuan Shikai, Lord Yuan, led his troops to Beijing to serve the king!"

Emperor Guangxu's body trembled and he stood up suddenly. He was so excited that he burst into tears. He said in disbelief: "Okay... OK... I know that I didn't see the wrong person, I didn't see the wrong person! Yuan Shikai is my savior! My savior!" After saying that, he roared to the sky, without hiding the ecstasy of the survivor of the disaster! More importantly, he can finally take power and realize his great wish for revival!

At this time, Zhu Lianjie led a team of Beiyang New Army to enter Emperor Guangxu's bedroom. When he saw Emperor Guangxu in a golden dragon robe, he did not kneel down, but salute and said, "The Beiyang New Army was ordered to go to Beijing to serve the king! The emperor was scared when he was late to protect his duties!"

Emperor Guangxu wiped away the tears of excitement and said quickly: "Not too late, no too late! It's good that you are here, it's good that you are here. Where is Lord Yuan? Didn't he come?"

Zhu Lianjie replied: "There are still remaining enemies in the palace that have not been cleared yet. Lord Yuan will arrive in a moment. Please prepare your clothes and clothes first, go to court later, and announce the affairs of your deeds!"

"Okay, okay..." Emperor Guangxu nodded quickly, and then Zhu Lianjie walked out of the bedroom without looking back and continued to eliminate the remaining enemies nearby.

For some reason, Lin Xu felt an inexplicable uneasy in his heart at this time. Is it really right to let Yuan Shikai go to Beijing to serve the king?
