Chapter 190 Changes in the Capital(1/2)

On October 10, 1911, a gunshot was heard in the Wuchang Uprising. The storm of the Xinhai Revolution quickly swept across the country, and the Qing royal family was in a storm. The potential contradiction of the dictatorship of the governors and governors, which had formed since the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, broke out at this moment, and more than 10 provinces declared "**" within ten days. Faced with the storm of revolution in various places.

On February 12, 1912, Empress Dowager Longyu and the 6-year-old Emperor Puyi announced their abdication. The feudal monarchy that had been for thousands of years was finally overthrown. Zhongnanhai, which was the royal forbidden garden in the past, opened a new chapter since then.

After the Qing emperor abdicated, Beijing became the capital of the Republic of China. According to the "preferential conditions for the Qing Dynasty", Puyi still "respected the title" and continued to live in the Forbidden City, but the "three halls" in front were managed by the Republic of China. The Summer Palace was left to the Qing Dynasty as a forbidden garden, and the West Three Seas were handed over to the Republic of China government.

In the past, the West Sanhai, which was equivalent to the western courtyard of the palace, returned to the Republic of China, and the Beihai soon became a park in the city. However, the Central Sea and South China Sea that were connected together became the presidential palace and became the political heart of China. The name of "Zhongnanhai" became famous all over the world.

During the Republic of China, Zhongnanhai was once the political center of China, and since then it has been in a turbulent historical vortex for a long time, becoming the focus of people's attention. After Yuan Shikai became the interim president of the Republic of China in the first year of the Republic of China, because the Forbidden City was still in the hands of Emperor Xun of the Qing Dynasty, he entered Zhongnanhai and changed the Haiyan Tower to "Ju Rentang". As a result, Ju Rentang became the official residence of the president.

Zhongnanhai, this former royal garden, the Presidential Palace of the Republic of China, has witnessed the changes in China's political situation in the past few years. At this time, the atmosphere of the main gate of Zhongnanhai is the front street outside the "Xinhua Gate" that is opened up in the lower floor of Baoyue Tower and converted into the main gate.

Fuqian Street, on the asphalt road of the street in front of the Presidential Palace, more than a dozen corpses were lying in pools of blood, and the dense gunshots in the night sky were still ringing in the area of ​​Fuqian Street. At Xinhua Gate, hundreds of guards in army uniforms were either leaning against the wall, lying on the ground, or shooting at the north and south ends in the corner of Xinhua Gate. A hundred meters away, another group of internal affairs officers and soldiers in black uniforms kept firing and fighting back.

"Ka, da..."

Amid the rapid sound of light machine guns, several soldiers were holding submachine guns and grenades, approaching the gate, but as soon as they attacked, they were knocked to the ground with the rapid response of the heavy machine gun.

The bloody red blood stained the black asphalt road red, and the wounded struggled on the road and slowly lost their vitality.

At the corner of the street, Li Yang leaned out from time to time to observe the battle situation in front of him. The Presidential Palace is the last fortress. As long as the Presidential Palace is captured, the battle in the capital will basically end, and the overall situation will be stable at that time.

"Sir, the third team called, they have taken control of the Telegram Office!"

"The Fifth Squad controls the Army..."

As key departments were controlled, looking at the Presidential Palace that was still standing firm, Li Yang frowned in a ball. The defense of the Presidential Palace was far stronger than they thought, and the sergeant training was also very good. After the raid failed, a brigade of guards immediately rushed out and the fierce battle began. If the Ninth Team had not been temporarily transferred, I really didn't know what the battle would be like.

"Have the explosives been taken?"

Turning his head, Li Yang asked the messenger behind him that the best way now is to use explosives to blow up the wall, then use the advantage of troops to enter Zhongnanhai and start a fierce battle with them, so as to gain the advantage of the battlefield.

"Sir, the car has already set off from the camp!"

Just as the voice of the messenger fell, a car came from a distance. The car must have passed several levels, otherwise it would not have arrived at this place.

However, Li Yang didn't even take a look at the coming car. Now his most concerned thing is how to capture Zhongnanhai as soon as possible.

"Have the phone number from the Presidential Palace been cut off?"

For external contact, if the Presidential Office cannot cut off the contact between the outside world, then... Thinking of this, Li Yang's heart sank slightly, hoping that everything will come urgently!

"Tel: Call Xiyuan immediately and transfer troops into the city!"

As the chief of the army, Duan Qirui, when he heard the news of the rebels' attack on Zhongnanhai, he immediately responded without waiting for the president to speak. At this moment, he did not have the fear shown by Xu Shichang and Liang Shiyi. As a soldier, when facing this situation, the first thing he thought of was to mobilize troops to suppress it.

"The phone is out of power, and it's cut off!"

At this time, Yuan Keding's voice even trembled, the electric discharge was cut off, and Zhongnanhai was surrounded by rebels. What should I do?

“…”

In silence, Yuan Shikai, who was lying on the bed, heard Yuan Keding's report, his face, which was a little swollen and black and blue, was covered in sickness, but there was no abnormal movement.

After a while, Yuan Shikai opened his eyes and looked at his panicked son. At this time, Yuan Keding's face was full of panic. His appearance only made Yuan Shikai sigh in his heart. His son was just a piece of mud, and he couldn't get on the mat, and mud couldn't get on the wall!

"Kedin, are you sure whose troops it is?"

At this moment, Yuan Shikai wanted to know who launched the rebellion? Of course, he also wanted to know why the military revolution was launched. Although he was lying on a sickbed, he was not confused at this moment. If he didn't know who launched the military revolution, he would not be able to figure out the cause, how to deal with it.

Although Yuan Shikai, who had experienced too many storms in his life, had no expression on his face, but his heart was somewhat bitter. Unexpectedly, at this time, he would still have another disaster!

But who gave him this disaster!

"It's dark, I can't see it. I started. At the beginning, they reported that it was from the model group..."

Yuan Keding's voice was only lighter than that of each word. He knew that it was all over now. He couldn't even do such a small matter. The Model Group rebelled, and he was the deputy leader.

Is it Jiang Fangzhen?

When his brows frowned slightly, when this name popped up in his heart, Yuan Shikai shook his head. It was impossible that it would be Jiang Fangzhen. That person was still...

"It won't be Jiang Baili's. He can't do such a thing!"

However, when Duan Qirui heard that the model group was involved, he immediately defended Jiang Fangzhen, the leader of the model group who had no friendship with him.

"But, the model group also involves..."

When Liang Shiyi asked a word, his words were interrupted by Duan Qirui.

"Da Hei Tian, ​​are they saying it's the Army, and I, the Chief of the Army, did it?"

"Who could it be?"

While thinking in his heart, Yuan Shikai forced himself to sit up. Yuan Shikai, who was sweating on his forehead, looked at Duan Qirui and said.

"Zhiquan, you are now in charge of the defense of the Presidential Palace. Now there are two things to do. The first thing is to send someone to contact Xiyuan. Even if you transfer the troops here, the other thing is to figure out who did it!"

Accompanied by the rushing sound of brakes, Li Yang looked at the officer jumping out of the car in surprise. As soon as he saw the person coming, he hurriedly ran away and stood at attention and saluted.

"Sir...sir!"

Listening to the gunshots in my ears, Xiao Xiao felt heartbroken.

"Is this the Interior Force or the Interior?"

Looking at the wounded who were carried down and thinking that they were injured in this killing, Xiao Xiao felt very humiliated for a moment.

"You are attacking the Presidential Palace..."

"Sir. We..."

Without waiting for Li Yang to explain, Xiao Xiao ordered coldly.

"Cease fire now!"

There is no hurry to come now, but you must not continue to make mistakes.

"Sir!"

When Li Yang was about to make an excuse, Xiao Xiao stared at this subordinate who was far from familiar with him and said coldly.

"Do you still know I am the sir? Now, I order you to cease fire immediately!"

The commander's angry roar reached the nearby officers and soldiers. They all turned their eyes to the commander. After a few seconds of surprise, they turned their eyes to Li Yang.

However, Li Yang's face, who was extremely unwilling to do so, kept changing.

"Sir. Now, it's already this time. As long as we conquer the Presidential Palace, we will control the situation. At that time, the Prime Minister will be able to..."

"The Prime Minister is the sinner who scatters the army!"

With a cold shout, Xiao Xiao yelled at the seemingly stubborn subordinate.

The Prime Minister is the sinner who is in chaos! How is it possible! The superior's words only changed Li Yang's expression. How could the Prime Minister be the sinner who is in chaos?

"Sir. The people will understand..."

The people will understand them, and the Prime Minister will understand them. In Li Yang's heart, there is still such a voice that keeps echoing in his mind, and I will understand, I will understand...

"What, do you want to refuse to obey military orders?"

As he said that, Xiao Xiao stopped looking at him anymore, but walked straight ahead.

"Sir..."

Xiao Xiaoquan ignored the sound coming from behind and ordered directly to the nearby soldiers.

"Cease fire, cease fire immediately!"

When Xiao Xiao gave the order, the soldiers all turned their eyes to the commander-in-chief, and at the same time they turned their eyes to their direct commander, and the squad leaders of each squad turned their eyes to Li Yang, as if waiting for his order.

Li Yang's face was constantly changing when he was heading towards Xinhua Gate at all costs. What should I do? Should I continue or... if I continue, I would violate the orders of the superior, and even look at the superior's back, and finally, after thinking for a long time, a helpless and bitter smile appeared on my face.

"Stop shooting!"

The gunshots stopped!

The army officers and soldiers guarding the Presidential Palace looked at the "rebels" who stopped attacking in surprise. When the other party stopped shooting, they also stopped shooting. When the gunfire stopped, they saw two people walking towards them one by one, and the man who lived behind held a white flag in his hand, and the leader was an officer, no, a general.

"Sir..."

The army guards holding guns looked back at the commander, and the army major hesitated for a moment before greeting him.

"I am Xiao Xiao, the commander of the Internal Affairs Force. I ask to see the President!"

After saluting each other, Xiao Xiao directly reported his identity and made his request. Now perhaps this is the last solution!

In a hotel room in Tianjin, two young officers stood in the spacious living room nervously, their expressions seemed a little nervous and even a little uneasy. Beside them were several agents from the Secret Service.

"Sir, how long will it take to wait? We have important matters to report to the Prime Minister!"

Looking at the agent standing in front of the door, Wang Guoliang asked anxiously, "They have been waiting for almost half an hour, why haven't the Prime Minister come out yet? Now, the capital has already started. How has the situation developed? Has the Prime Minister heard the news?

Questions emerged from time to time in his mind.

"The Prime Minister is handling official duties!"

The agent replied coldly, then faced forward and ignored the two young officers who were visiting rashly.

"Have you lost contact with Beijing?"

Li Zicheng frowned slightly. After attending a welcome banquet for various businesses in Tianjin today, when he contacted the official residence in Beijing because of work, he unexpectedly learned that the phone had been cut off and he had lost contact with Beijing.

Could it be that Yuan Shikai is preparing to make any big moves?
To be continued...
