In the last days of 1935, what was known as the "1230 coup" or the "New Year's coup" occurred. Zhu Yourong, who had always been regarded as a hothouse baby, with the help of several pro-emperor forces,
He actually ousted a group of Donglin bosses who had controlled Ming Dynasty politics for many years overnight, and took control of the cabinet. Because this coup did not shed a drop of blood, and no one was executed. All cabinet ministers who stepped down were also rewarded with large sums of money to arrange for their retirement.
, therefore, it was also called a "mercy coup" by the media of various countries. Despite instigating a coup, Zhu Yourong successfully maintained a consistent image of kindness and kindness.
That night, the Chief of General Staff of the Army General Staff, Chief of General Staff of the Naval General Staff, and Commander of the Capital Garrison rushed to the Changping Marquis Mansion to meet His Majesty, and then re-swore their allegiance to His Majesty on the radio.
Commanders of group armies stationed in various places, commanders of various sections of the Yangtze River Defense Line, commanders of the East China Sea Fleet, commanders of the South China Sea Fleet, commanders of the Dongjiang Fleet, commanders of the Taiwan Strait Fleet, commanders of the Yangtze River Fleet, and commanders of several squadrons already patrolling the Yellow Sea. The Ming Dynasty is distributed around the world.
Embassies, legations, consulates and offices all over the country have called and expressed their allegiance to Her Majesty the Queen.
The only remaining overseas vassal of the Ming Dynasty - the Kingdom of Siam (Thailand) on the Indochina Peninsula, the king sent a telegram to reiterate his allegiance to Her Majesty the Empress of the Ming Dynasty.
…
A special program was played on the radio last night, revealing the truth of the events that led to the mobilization of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, from the "Grasshopper" crashed on the Yangtze River and the capture of twelve female soldiers, to Xiang Xiaoqiang's single-handed rescue of people from a tiger's den and back to Nanjing, to
The Qing Dynasty secret agents openly went deep into the capital of the Ming Dynasty and kidnapped people again. When the cabinet ministers pressured the army not to rescue people, when the Queen had no choice but to form a small team with her own money, when the Queen's plane crashed in the sky, the team leader Xiang Xiaoqiang decisively took advantage of the situation.
The "Queen" came to attract the attention of the Qing captives, and finally got on the prisoner of war train. She performed a clever trick and turned the Jiaoji Line into the Jinpu Line. She escaped to Jiaozhou Bay overnight and successfully persuaded the persecuted prisoners on the train.
Fourteen Gege came to the Ming Dynasty to seek refuge, and finally successfully boarded the Gongbu submarine and returned to the Ming Dynasty triumphantly.
Such a long list of real experiences has not been made public before. Only a few people in the royal family and Dongchang know it. All civil servants and common people in the Ming Dynasty know nothing about it. And this time, the announcer did not read from the script.
, but Xiang Xiaoqiang and other key members of the team, and Qiu Qiu and other twelve submarine members, sat together in the studio, facing the microphone, and facing the entire Ming Dynasty audience, you and I recalled each sentence.
The story itself is very vivid, and all of them are people who have experienced it. Sometimes there is cheerful laughter in the studio, sometimes there is quiet remembrance, sometimes it is so tense that people hold their breath, and sometimes there are tears of girls.
Lian... the most selling point is also interspersed with the undying love between Xiang Xiaoqiang and Qiu Qiu...
There was a round table in the studio with a circle of microphones, and everyone had one in front of them. The director held an outline in front of him, grasped the atmosphere, and controlled the progress and rhythm. This director was very experienced, and he was sensational when it was time to be sensational.
When throwing away baggage, throw away the baggage and control the atmosphere perfectly.
However, several places have been carefully concealed. The most important one is the reason for the crash of the Queen's plane. The shadow of Japan has been erased, and it is said that it was shot down by a Qing army plane. The wisest thing at this time is not to
To drag Japan in. If the Ming Dynasty doesn't talk about this kind of thing, Japan itself will definitely not talk about it. The Qing Dynasty will not talk about it either.
Also, bloody scenes such as the bloody sticky rods and the machine gun fire on the train have also been hidden.
It was after nine o'clock when the broadcast started, and people were not sleeping yet. There was no TV at that time, and urban residents in the Ming Dynasty generally liked to listen to the radio in every household. In addition, the situation was tense these days, and every household was even more excited at night.
Holding the radio and not letting it go. On the night of December 30, everyone was at the radio, holding a channel, listening to it intoxicatedly...
In various universities in Nanjing, students came back from a day's march. They all gathered in the dormitory to talk, drink and play cards, or gathered in dormitories with radios to listen to the radio. Gradually, no one played cards, no one chatted, and everyone
Squeeze into the dormitory where there is a radio. Turn the radio on as loud as possible so that the classmates surrounding the corridor can hear it.
When it came to Xiang Xiaoqiang's arrangement for Xiu Xiu to pretend to be a fourteen-meter square, and deceived the entire sticky pole into a daze, the studio was filled with laughter, and the dormitories of various universities also burst into hearty laughter.
When it came to finally being shot by anti-aircraft guns on the plane, the dormitory was silent and everyone was sweating.
When it was said that agents from the Sticky Branch broke into the capital of the Ming Dynasty, pretended to be everywhere, and kidnapped people, these college students clenched their fists and their eyes burst out with anger.
When it came to the cabinet meeting, the crowd was agitated and the rescue was prohibited, especially when several girls on the radio burst into tears, indicating that the cabinet was using them as victims in order to retain its power, the college students all started shouting.
"I can see that even if the Qinglu come over, they will pretend not to see it!"
"Definitely, they will also force the army not to fight back, because once they fight back, it will be a war and they will have to hand over power to His Majesty!"
"It's okay if you don't want this kind of official!"
"Shh... calm down and listen!"
He also talked about the tragic situation of the people in the Northern Qing Dynasty, the mother who froze to death holding her child, and the heads hanging at the city gate... On the radio, Xiang Xiaoqiang said sadly:
"I thought at that time, the people in Jiangbei are also my people in the Ming Dynasty. Why do they have to suffer like this? Why do they have to be tortured and trampled by the Qing captives like this? I feel that if the people in the north know that the people in the south are living like this
They will definitely be very envious of their happy life. If they knew that young people in the South can not only have enough food and clothing, but also sit in spacious and bright university classrooms to study, express political opinions at will, and go to the streets to demonstrate when they feel dissatisfied.
rallies to express their views to the government... The people of the North must not dare to imagine... If they could live half of this kind of life, they would laugh in their dreams..."
There was silence in the dormitory. The college students were all deep in thought.
That night, the whole Ming Dynasty was listening to this special program. Everyone slept very late, and the listening rate hit a record. When it came to the end of the story, when the Gongbu submarine was forced into a desperate situation, the Yongle battleship squadron appeared, and the Qing Dynasty
The Japanese destroyers scurried away, and the Qingdao Mountain fort was too frightened to fire. When Qian watched the Gongbu swaggering out of Jiaozhou Bay, all the audience in Daming felt satisfied from the bottom of their hearts and laughed from ear to ear. In the dormitories of various universities
It even erupted into endless cheers...
The pro-imperialist faction among college students and the specially appointed "public opinion supervisor" signed by Dongchang took the lead in shouting:
"Long live Her Majesty the Queen!"
"Long live the Ming Dynasty!"
"Long live Gongbuhao!"
"Long live the Yongle!"
"Long live the Ming army!"
"Long live Captain Xiaoqiang!"
The calls quickly became one, and one wave became louder than the other.
…
At nine o'clock in the morning on December 31, the third year of Yifu in the Ming Dynasty (AD 1935), Queen Zhu Yourong of Yifu returned to the palace.
From Changping Marquis Mansion, to Yanping South Road, to Xinjiekou, to Changping East Road, to the Forbidden City, there were huge crowds of people along the way. Countless citizens and students spontaneously poured into the streets, lined up to welcome, raised their arms and shouted, to catch a glimpse of Her Majesty the Queen.
At the front were six knights on tall horses leading the way, followed by two columns of Royal Guards on motorcycles.
The two columns of the convoy are People's Guards riding motorcycles. The two columns of People's Guards are dressed in casual clothes, but they are all uniform beige windbreakers, wearing bright yellow armbands with "People's Guard" in black, and carrying Thompson submachine guns on their chests.
It was actually more powerful than the Imperial Guards in front.
In fact, they are all temporarily transferred Dongchang agents. They wear People's Guard armbands to show the Queen's trust in the People's Guard. Those real People's Guards are still a group of gangsters and thugs, and they will definitely not be on the stage.
The queen's milk-white car was polished and decorated with royal ribbons and garlands. Zhu Yourong was in the car, waving and smiling to the people on both sides from time to time through the glass.
The big black car behind is the car of Zhu Yourong's sister, Princess Zhu Youmei of Xiuning.
The last car belonged to Changping Marquis Zheng Gongyin, and Zheng Yucong was also sitting in it. Now that the father and daughter had got their wish, they were both happy from ear to ear.
The next car was Xiang Xiaoqiang's car. Qiu Qiu sat next to him. Xiao Nizi was as happy as a newlywed bride, clinging to his arms.
Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at the neat "People's Guard" motorcycle teams on both sides, and listened to the loud cheers outside. Many young people were shouting crazily, "Xiang Xiaoqiang!", "Xiang Captain!", and then looked at Qiu in his arms.
Qiu looked up at himself, his face was flushed, his eyes were blurred, and there was endless admiration in his happiness... He couldn't help but lean back on the backrest and sighed:
"I came to Ming Dynasty, and I never really tasted happiness until today."
Behind Xiang Xiaoqiang's car is the fourteen-square car.
Shi Shi Ge Ge was still wearing a simple coat, leaning on the backrest, closing her eyes, clutching her collar tightly, biting her lips. Xiao Wu stayed by her side quietly, holding one of her cold hands, trying to help her as much as possible.
She spread a little warmth.
The last few vehicles contained the entire crew of the Grasshopper and Xiang Xiaoqiang's commandos.
The motorcade moved slowly, and wherever it passed, flowers and cheers were like a tide.
…
From the Changping Marquis Mansion to the Forbidden City, one has to pass five anti-aircraft gun positions along the way. Zhu Yourong would get out of the car personally at each one and go to the anti-aircraft guns to visit the soldiers standing guard and say a few words to them. These soldiers stood up straight and were filled with excitement.
His face turned red, he trembled and shouted a promise that he would never let Qinglu planes run rampant over Nanjing.
When passing through Xinjiekou Square, the Queen came to the Memorial to the Fall of Jiangbei, stood in front of the black land occupied by the Manchus, presented a bouquet of flowers with her own hands, and then paid her respects quietly. There were crowds of people around, but at this moment it was actually very quiet.
Then there is a very bloody, but also very loving project... Zhu Yourong lovingly picked up a cute little girl, kissed her little face, and asked her how old she was? What was her name? Are you afraid that there is going to be a war? Still
Tell her to be brave and be a strong little girl... The parents of the child next to her were so excited that they almost fainted.
Xiang Xiaoqiang shook his head slightly in the car behind him, and couldn't help but admire Zhu Yourong, the "good baby in the greenhouse." Although he felt that Zhu Yourong didn't have much scheming and was not very mature politically, his ability to "show in public" was definitely
It's perfect.
No wonder Xiao Nizi traveled around on behalf of the Ming Dynasty when she was a teenager, and attended ceremonies, awards, honors, receptions, dancing, horse riding, afternoon tea, and tennis with royal families from various European countries... She has long been a very dazzling royal star.
This coup went so smoothly and did not cause any resentment among the people. It can be said that the affinity she has accumulated in the public mind in the past played a big role.
Xiang Xiaoqiang squinted his eyes and analyzed Zhu Yourong, and unconsciously started to move his hands up and down Qiu Qiu in his arms. It wasn't until Qiu Qiu gasped repeatedly, looked at the driver in front of him, and struggled to sit up that Xiang Xiaoqiang suddenly realized that this was in the car.
, there is a driver in front, and there are so many cheering people outside...
"Damn, this is really not the place."
Xiang Xiaoqiang muttered. Damn it, why can't I help but say something to Qiu Qiu next to me when I think of Zhu Yourong?
…
At 10:30 in the morning, the Queen returned to the Forbidden City.
At 10:45, Empress Zhu Yourong presided over the award ceremony at Fengtian Hall. The first meritorious service was Xiang Xiaoqiang, who single-handedly rescued twelve crew members, led the team deep into enemy territory to rescue the crew for the second time, and brought back the fourteen-square
He came to Ming Dynasty and organized the "People's Guard" at the critical moment to turn the tide and serve the emperor for four great services. He was awarded the "Second Class Vermillion Bird Medal" by His Majesty.
The remaining commandos were each awarded a "First Class Plum Blossom Medal" for their outstanding performance in rescue operations and "People's Guard" operations.
After being captured this time, all the crew members of the "Grasshopper" were unyielding, calm and calm, and assisted the commando team in protecting the 14th Ge Laiming. They showed the heroic demeanor of our Ming women and were each awarded a "Second Class Plum Blossom Medal".
…
At eleven o'clock, Her Majesty the Queen cordially received the former puppet princess of the Qing Dynasty, Heshuo Gege Aixinjueluo-Xianzhu, in the Fengtian Palace, and conferred her the title of Princess of Liaoyang of the Ming Dynasty, with an annuity of 700,000 mingyang, and personally presented the princess with a set of
The villa in Qinhuai District serves as a residence.
Her Majesty the Queen welcomed Princess Liaoyang for choosing to live in the Ming Dynasty, expressed sadness for the experiences of Princess Liaoyang's father and brother, and was indignant at the brutal behavior of the puppet emperor Guangwu of the Qing Dynasty. Princess Liaoyang expressed her deep gratitude and touch to Her Majesty the Queen for her care.
…
…
At 11:30, Queen Zhu Yourong announced the list of new cabinet members, and held up the first minister on the list, Shen Rongxuan, the former director of the East Editing Factory.
Subsequently, the Queen announced the formal establishment of the People's Guard, granted Xiang Xiaoqiang the position of commander of the People's Guard, and awarded him the rank of colonel.
Xiang Xiaoqiang already knew about the nomination of Shen Rongxuan as the first minister. Yesterday afternoon when he met with the Queen and planned the coup with Zheng Gongyin and others, he hinted that he wanted Shen Rongxuan to form the cabinet.
Shen Rongxuan is very young, only in his forties, and has always been in charge of the East Factory. He has never been in politics. If in the past, let alone let such a person be the chief minister to form a cabinet, even if he was allowed to enter the cabinet, there would be many ministers.
They desperately opposed it. But now the cabinet has fallen, and all those in power are the imperialists. As Dongchang, which has always been loyal to the royal family, let its factory supervisor lead the cabinet, at least its loyalty can be completely assured.
In Xiang Xiaoqiang's view, it doesn't matter if such a person is younger. Facing the pressure from the Northern Qing Dynasty, Ming Dynasty now needs a die-hard like Churchill. And according to Xiang Xiaoqiang's observation, Shen Rongxuan is such a person.
Originally, among the core members of the Imperial Party, there were two opinions on whether the "People's Guard" should continue to exist. Shen Rongxuan believed that such a mafia organization had little combat effectiveness and was difficult to control. It was okay to use it to help the coup, but it was After that, it should be disbanded. But at this time, Zheng Gongyin changed his appearance as a good old man and tried his best to ensure that the "People's Guard" existed, and that it should be formalized, strengthened, and shoulder more tasks.
Shen Rongxuan understood that he was originally the director of the Dongchang factory, and now he is the chief assistant. Although the Dongchang is directly under His Majesty, after all, they are all his own people. In this way, his power will inevitably be too great, and the Zheng family and the Zhu family are worried, so I want the "People's Guard" to become another force directly under the Queen and try to compete with it.
After Shen Rongxuan figured this out, he just smiled. People's Guards? Don't laugh at me. If you want something like that, just keep it... I just have Dongchang.
As a result of the secret discussion between Zheng Gongyin and Zhu Yourong, they decided to position the "People's Guard" as a political armed force independent of the army and directly responsible to Her Majesty the Queen. It is different from the Imperial Guards who look after homes and homes, and are different from collecting intelligence for The East Factory of the Lord. The East Factory targets both foreign countries and the country, and the People's Guard is also responsible for collecting intelligence, mainly targeting the country and all forces and conspiracies that threaten the imperial power. Although the People's Guard is still a ragtag group of underworld, they We plan to allocate forces from the Royal Guards, Imperial Guards, Gendarmerie and other units to strengthen it as soon as possible, and we must allow this organization to grow rapidly.
When Xiang Xiaoqiang heard that Mr. Zheng was discussing the scope of responsibilities of the People's Guard with him, it sounded like the SS.
Very good. Yesterday they were stormtroopers. From today on they will become SS. And it is much better to meet a boss like Zhu Yourong than to meet a boss like Hitler. The stormtroopers were used up by Lao Xi and purged. He died. The leader Rom was also killed. At least I won’t be a Rom anymore.
