After Zhang Xun arrived in Beijing, everyone was shocked by his unexpected behavior. Some figures who had been involved in politics for many years felt the strange atmosphere. Moreover, some well-informed people spread rumors that when Zhang Xun left the Forbidden City, he was wearing
It's a yellow mantle.
At this time, various rumors spread throughout the forty-nine cities in an instant, but Zhang Xun, the commander-in-chief, ignored them completely. As soon as he entered Beijing, he asked his men to take over the city defense of Beijing. Even the presidential palace was under control.
Then he invited Kang Youwei out.
As we all know, Kang Youwei is the leader of the royalist party. Since the failure of the Reform Movement of 1898, Kang Youwei has been in exile overseas for many years. Under the banner of royalist, for a while he seemed to be like Uncle Liu with a belt edict, fooling around and gaining the support of many overseas Chinese.
After the Republic of China, he also frequently published royalist remarks in newspapers.
Now that Zhang Xun and Kang Youwei were involved, the situation became clearer. That night Zhang Xun summoned all the Beiyang elders in Beijing, including Wang Shizhen, Jiang Chaozong, Chen Guangyuan, Wu Binghu and others.
After everyone arrived, Zhang Xun was dressed in military uniform, wearing a yellow mandarin jacket, and his appearance was impressive. Kang Youwei was by his side, looking even more arrogant.
After meeting, Zhang Xun said: "My commander-in-chief's visit to Beijing this time is not to mediate any disputes between the government and the court, but to bring His Majesty back to the great treasure and restore the Qing Dynasty. Back then, Empress Dowager Longyu, in order not to bear the war in the country,
He just announced his abdication. Now, after so many years of running a republic, the country has not improved at all, but is in a mess. At this time, His Majesty should be allowed to take charge of the world again, so that the country can live in peace and the people can live in peace!"
Zhang Xun loudly spoke his opinion, and everyone else was listening. Wang Shizhen was known as the Dragon of the North, and was also a long-standing big shot. When he saw this occasion, he guessed what was going on, but he was not interested in the restoration.
This kind of thing is not promising at all. After Yuan Shikai, who was so powerful at the time, became emperor, he immediately rebelled against his relatives.
Now Puyi is just a 12-year-old child. How can he convince the princes of the world? Zhang Xun and Kang Youwei are both civil and military, and they work well together. The key is whether they can control the country. Nothing else.
Said, not even Beijing and Tianjin can control it.
Therefore, Wang Shizhen took the courage to ask: "What is the attitude of each province? Has the Ministry of Foreign Affairs contacted the great powers? What is the attitude of the great powers?"
"There is no problem with diplomacy, and all the provincial governors agree. Feng Guozhang and Lu Rongting have expressed their full support. Zhang will definitely restore the Qing Dynasty. Whoever dares to oppose me will have to fight to the death!"
When Wang Shizhen saw that Zhang Xun was determined by the weight, he simply didn't care. He was so old that he couldn't get angry about this kind of thing, so he naturally had people to deal with it. These Beiyang elders followed Zhang Xun. When they arrived at the Forbidden City, please
The little emperor Puyi was brought out and restored to his throne.
Although Puyi was only twelve years old, he also felt that this kind of thing seemed a bit unreliable. Therefore, he said: "I am too young to assume a big position."
Zhang Xun hurriedly knelt down and said with sincerity and fear: "Your Majesty is wise and wise. Emperor Kangxi, the ancestor of the emperor, was also in his early years, so that he could have the splendid country of the Qing Dynasty. Your Majesty will definitely be able to revive the Qing Dynasty, and I will be willing to swear allegiance to your Majesty!"
At this point, Puyi could only reluctantly agree. It was already early in the morning, and Zhang Xun ran to the Presidential Palace with a copy of Li Yuanhong's petition for the return of the government that had been drawn up long ago. He was still kept in the dark during the interview.
Li Yuanhong.
Li Bodhisattva was completely out of anger and said loudly: "My position as president was elected by the people of the world. How can I hand it over casually?"
"Li Yuanhong, don't be so shameless. You were also a minister of the Qing Dynasty. Without the grace of the master, you would not be where you are today. Now that the master has returned to the throne, you are seeking death if you still want to steal the state affairs!"
While Zhang Xun was speaking, he had already taken out his pistol. As long as Li Yuanhong dared to object again, Zhang Xun would shoot Li Yuanhong. Li Bodhisattva saw that it was hard to save himself, so he could only close his eyes and simply ignore him.
Hey, Zhang Xun and the others stole the seal, then returned to the Forbidden City, and immediately announced it to the world. Puyi was restored to power, and the Yellow Dragon Flag, which had been dormant for many years, was once again hung on the streets of Beijing.
A restoration farce finally began. After hearing the news, the Manchus, old and young, all jumped out to celebrate and took out the court uniforms they had not worn for many years. Some people had long since lost them, so they could only run to the palace.
In the theater troupe, all the court uniforms were snatched away.
In addition to court uniforms, some people no longer even had pigtails, so they all wore fake pigtails. For a while, the city of Beijing was filled with demons, as if the whole world had changed overnight.
This change has naturally become a topic of conversation for countless people after dinner. A group of people gathered in the Xiangyun Teahouse that had just been renovated and were discussing this matter.
"Shopkeeper Wang, this city of Beijing deserves to be at the feet of the Emperor. You can see all kinds of excitement. The Emperor has been missing for several years, so why he has reappeared? It is simply a huge curiosity."
Shopkeeper Wang was in his forties, honest and kind, but with a shrewd businessman's eyes. He sighed and said: "No matter what big show they put on, this teahouse is suffering. I'm sure there will be no customers for how many days!"
"
"Shopkeeper Wang, this Xiangyun Teahouse is the largest teahouse in Beijing. We have no shortage of customers three hundred and sixty-five days a year. It doesn't matter whether there is an emperor or not. You are worrying too much!"
"I know clearly in my heart whether I should worry about it or not. Do you know Mr. Song?"
"You're talking about Song Zhongyi and Song Sanye who set up a textile factory in Beijing. I heard that his family business was completely ruined and his family has long gone. It's pitiful to talk about it.
What a wonderful life, but I just can’t live it, what kind of factories are we tossing around, just like us, drinking tea and walking around, and we will definitely not find any trouble!”
Shopkeeper Wang had a smile on his face, pointed at the ceiling, and then at the speaker's clothes, and said with a smile: "Song Sanye's family property has not declined, and it is now ten times and a hundred times richer than before.
, the coat you are wearing is made of cloth from Mr. Song’s factory!”
"No way, this cloth is so well woven, I thought it was foreign cloth!"
"Foreign cloth?" Shopkeeper Wang smiled: "The foreigners are at war, and foreign cloth has been unable to come in for a long time. Sixty or seventy percent of the cloth on the market now is produced by Song Ye factory! Did you see that my teahouse is also Song San's?
If it hadn’t been for the third master’s promotion of the shares that I bought, I would never have been able to build such a big teahouse in my life.”
When the tea guests heard this, they all immediately became interested. An old acquaintance had turned over, which was more interesting than a national event. Everyone asked Shopkeeper Wang to tell him what was going on.
"Everyone, the third master was in my teahouse two years ago. He had good luck and met a noble person. His business and business were moved to Fengtian. I heard that the Fengtian authorities helped contact him and the cloth produced by the third master was directly supplied to the great powers.
The factory has increased several times in the past two years. Most of the cloth in the three eastern provinces and Beijing and Tianjin is woven by Sanye's factory. Recently, I heard that Sanye's industry has expanded again, and people no longer want to rely solely on weaving.
, and also invested in a chemical factory to produce dyes, which is much more profitable than weaving."
Shopkeeper Wang said with emotion: "The third master wrote to me some time ago, saying that if he hadn't come to my teahouse, there wouldn't have been such a big change, so he was willing to invest in it, so I re-expanded the teahouse."
"Shopkeeper Wang, the third master is willing to help you because you have done good deeds and met a noble person!"
"Isn't it?" Other tea guests also said with a smile: "From what you said, the Fengtian authorities also helped the third master a lot. This sounds new. For many years, it has always been the officials who bullied the people. What?
It’s time to take the initiative to help the people, the sun rises from the west?”
"Not to mention, I didn't believe it at first. Later, I inquired about a lot of information carefully and found out that it was true. As long as you invest in Fengtian, the government will try its best to help and provide loans. Recently, it has been recruiting refugees everywhere to come to Dongtian.
Farming in the three provinces. Have you noticed that there are a lot less beggars on the streets? I heard that most of them have gone to Fengtian. These people are very lucky. Maybe in a few years, they will be able to stand in front of us in fine clothes.
in front of me!"
"Sir, did Fengtian defeat the Russians not long ago? In those days, students paraded and cheered in the streets every day, and many of them even lit firecrackers everywhere to celebrate?"
"Yes, it was Fengjun who did it. The Fengtian authorities are good at managing the economy, and they are capable of leading troops in wars. They definitely don't have dirt in their eyes. Beijing and Fengtian are not far away. You say that there is restoration here.
Can people keep an eye on it? Maybe they will call me at some time, but it will only hurt my business!"
While shopkeeper Wang was talking, suddenly the newsboy outside ran in and shouted breathlessly: "Extra number! Extra number! Yu Shuai sent a call to suppress the rebellion, and Feng's army will soon go south to conquer the braided army!"
Shopkeeper Wang was shocked when he heard what the newsboy said. He didn't expect that his premonition could be so accurate. He hurriedly bought a newspaper. Other tea guests also came over. The front page of the newspaper read Feng Jun's news.
Discuss the negative electricity.
On the day of the restoration, Zhang Zuolin issued a petition against rebellion, which was like a blow to Zhang Xun's head, making him almost unsteady. Others didn't know how powerful Fengjun was, but Zhang Xun understood it very well.
, his army was equipped with a lot of arms from Fengjun. I am afraid that in history, those who buy weapons are not as good as those who sell weapons. When Zhang Xun heard the news, he couldn't help but tremble with fear.
There is another person who is even more depressed, that is Duan Qirui of Tianjin. He was the one who originally brought Zhang Xun to Beijing. He wanted to seize this opportunity to attack Li Yuanhong and improve his own prestige. However, just when he was about to organize a rebellion against the rebels,
At that time, Zhang Zuolin took the lead and took the lead in attacking.
The first effort in revolting against rebellion fell on Zhang Zuolin. After a hard planning, Lao Zhang easily picked the peach. Now that articles supporting Fengjun are everywhere in the world, how can Duan Qirui not be depressed? ( To be continued.
