The end of the year is coming soon. Every household is busy preparing for the New Year, and the business of various shops has also improved. Ma Xingkong stayed with Wu Jing all day long, and the other people who watched were very envious. The newlyweds were completely happy.
It's understandable. Liu Wu stopped Hei Wa and Long Jie from disturbing the two of them, and their sweet little life was very comfortable.
At noon that day, Ma Xingkong and Wu Jing were basking in the sun in the courtyard and talking quietly. Han Xiaomo came at the same time as Chang San, which surprised Ma Xingkong. Chang San was a gangster and a member of Yuan Keding. Han Xiaomo
Mo was the spy arranged by Zhang Zuolin in the capital. The people from the two camps were indeed a bit shocking.
Han Xiaomo brought a letter written by Zhang Xueliang from the Northeast. In the letter, Zhang Xueliang congratulated Ma Xingkong on his marriage and apologized for leaving without saying goodbye. By the way, he also said that according to the news that Zhang Xueliang learned, Yuan Shikai would arrive as soon as this year.
He will ascend the throne years ago. The Japanese have contributed a lot to Yuan Shikai's ascension to the throne. Ma Xingkong's enemy Kazuo Noda has been appointed as Yuan Shikai's personal advisor.
Seeing this, Ma Xingkong stood up with a cry, frightening both Han Xiaomo and Chang San. Ma Xingkong asked: "Are you sure that Scar has been appointed as Yuan Shikai's personal consultant?"
Han Xiaomo nodded: "Yes! According to the agreement signed between the Japanese and Yuan Shikai, the Japanese borrowed 10 million yuan for Yuan Shikai to ascend the throne. This Noda is the plenipotentiary representative of Japan!"
Chang San also said: "The eldest son doesn't like these Japanese either. He plans to launch a military revolt on the day Yuan Shikai ascends the throne and asks Yuan Shikai to abdicate, so he sent me to invite Ma Xingkong to discuss the matter!"
"Military remonstrance!" Ma Xingkong looked at Han Xiaomo: "Yuan Keding is a drunkard who doesn't care about drinking! When Yuan Shikai becomes emperor, he is the prince who does his duty. When Yuan Shikai dies, he will be the emperor! Will he launch military remonstrance?
"
Chang San smiled and said: "You can't say that! It is the general trend of the world to be republican. Yuan Shikai goes against the will of heaven and will be defeated sooner or later. The eldest son is doing this for Yuan Shikai's good!"
Han Xiaomo said: "Just tell the truth, what exactly is Yuan Keding looking for Brother Ma for?"
Chang Sanyi smiled: "Brother Ma's marksmanship is amazing. If the military advice fails, I still hope that Brother Ma..."
"You still want to assassinate Yuan Shikai? He is Yuan Keding's biological father!" Han Xiaomo couldn't believe it. Yuan Keding also wanted to assassinate Yuan Shikai. The last time was discovered by Yuan Shikai. If it failed this time, how could Yuan Shikai let Yuan Keding live anymore.
Han Xiaomo looked at Ma Xingkong.
Ma Xingkong said: "But it's a pity that the gun Yuan Keding gave me was collected by the police department. There is no suitable guy..."
"What's so difficult about this?" Chang San waved, and someone immediately came in with a long box in his hand. Chang San walked over, shook his sleeves, stretched out his hand to open the box and picked up the gun: "This is a German product, better than the previous one."
The weapon is much better and can travel several miles. The eldest son spent a lot of money to get it specially for this operation!"
Ma Xingkong took the gun, and Wu Jing turned her head to look at it. "karabiner98k!..." Wu Jing gently read out a row of letters of various shapes on the gun. Everyone looked at Wu Jing. Chang San smiled and said:
"I didn't expect Madam to even know these things. She is really a talented woman among women, a very talented woman!"
Wu Jing smiled slightly and lowered her head shyly. Ma Xingkong said: "That's right, my wife is a top student at Beijing University, and she knows much more than that!"
Of course, a good gun must be accepted. As for Yuan Keding's invitation, Ma Xingkong did not agree. He asked Chang San to tell Yuan Keding that he would definitely go when Yuan Shikai ascended the throne.
In the capital, Yuan Shikai is stepping up preparations for his ascension to the throne. Cao Kun, leading his troops, is cleaning the Forbidden City. They have found out the dragon throne prepared for Xuantong's ascension to the throne, as well as some ceremonies. Yuan Shikai personally inspected, anxious for the most famous person in the capital.
The shoe and hat shop prepares a dragon robe for himself to ascend to the throne.
When everything was ready, it was time to make an announcement. According to the daily schedule, this day should be the day when the Congress was in session. A few congressmen walked into the venue. Before the speaker could sit down, Cao Kun led a large group of soldiers into the venue. The congressmen
Immediately they became furious and started to curse.
Cao Kun ignored them completely and went straight to the podium and stood in front of the Speaker: "Everyone, by the order of the President, the Congress will be dissolved from now on! If you have any objections, you can go to the Presidential Palace to appeal! Everyone, please go back!"
"Yuan Shikai is crazy!"
"Yuan Shikai is really going to be restored! Our great National Government is going to be ruined in the hands of Yuan Shikai, a man who steals the country. It's a shame, a pity, and hateful!"
One by one, the congressmen stamped their feet, beat their chests, and howled loudly. What could they do in the face of the soldiers who were heavily armed with guns and ammunition? Being pushed and pushed by these soldiers, a large group of people, old and young, were all kicked out of the gate of the Congress. The people on the street
They gathered around and saw that they had never seen these well-dressed gentry who came and went in cars crying like this.
Just at the gate of the National Assembly, Cao Kun reiterated the dissolution of the National Assembly in front of the people, and announced at the same time: "From now on, all the national flags of the Republic of China government hung by every house will be replaced by new national flags!"
Cao Kun said and glanced behind him. A soldier slowly walked into the Congress holding a flag in both hands. Soon the blue sky and white sun flag on the roof of the building slowly lowered. There was a strip made of five colors with a red in the middle.
The round flag began to slowly flutter on top of the Congress. No one had ever seen this flag, and the people all looked up to watch.
Cao Kun said loudly: "The five ethnic groups are in a republic. The rising sun is rising in the east. This is our new national flag! Everyone, go home and change it! There will be inspections tomorrow! Anyone who does not hang it will be arrested!" When everyone heard this, they immediately dispersed like birds and beasts.
They all rushed home to make the five-color national flag.
Ma Xingkong looked at the new national flag sent by Chang San, and it felt tacky. Heiwa smiled and said: "This is just like the quilt used by the poor people in our hometown. It is held in cloth pockets one by one."
Get up and put a patch in the middle!"
Everyone laughed. Wu Jing shook her head: "You look at the five colors of red, yellow, blue, white and black, which represent the five ethnic groups in our country, Han, Hui, Mongolian, Tibetan and Manchu. The red circle in the center is rising.
The sun has a very good meaning, a republic of five ethnic groups. Holding up the sun, it seems that Yuan Shikai does not resist the republic and only hopes to become a monarchy like Great Britain and Japan."
"Sister-in-law said that, does that mean Yuan Shikai is not hopelessly bad?" Long Jie asked.
Wu Jing nodded: "Japan's national power has greatly increased after the Reform. It defeated the Beiyang Navy in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894. At that time, some people proposed the Reform, but the Qing court did not have the courage. If Yuan Shikai could really accomplish it, it would not necessarily be a disaster for China.
Bad thing!"
Ma Xingkong smiled: "I don't think so much. As long as we can kill Scar and avenge Sister Huo and the others, it has nothing to do with us whether Yuan Shikai becomes emperor or not!"
