Years of the Republic of China 1913

Volume 1 The Unsettled Times Chapter 152 Forced Palace

Cao Kun's troops had already moved to the suburbs of Beijing. Since Liang Shiyi used the name of the presidential palace to cover up, this unreasonable transfer did not attract the attention of the Ministry of National Defense and the General Staff, and even the people below did not take it seriously. Duan Qi Rui, Wang Shizhen and others knew nothing about it.

After many days of preparation, Liang Shiyi and Yuan Keding discussed, and the launch will be tomorrow.At that time, Cao Kun's first brigade and the central yang bank guards will start to move at the same time, taking the order of the presidential palace to change defenses with the guards and occupy the nine gates of the capital. The National Congress and other government departments used military remonstrance as an excuse to force all parties in Beijing to push Yuan Shikai to the top.

"Yan Sun, I'm so terrified, is this going to happen?"

In the middle of the night, Yuan Keding and Liang Shiyi were making final preparations, discussing their respective arrangements for tomorrow.When the matter was almost finished, Yuan Keding asked a little worriedly.

"What's the point of success or failure? A man dares to do something. It's up to man to make things happen. Does Yuntai still want to back down at this time?" Liang Shiyi's face darkened, and he glanced at Yuan Keding dissatisfied. .This Mr. Yuan was dedicated to being the crown prince, but his courage was much worse than his father's. He still said such things when the situation came to an end.But after all, the success of major events depends on Yuan Keding, and Yuan Shikai's attitude after the mobilization is particularly critical. If Yuan Shikai refuses, no matter how capable Liang Shiyi is, it will be useless.Looking at the sea, only this ambitious and talented young master Yuan Shikai can persuade Yuan Shikai, as long as Yuan Keding can ensure that Yuan Shikai does not explicitly object.There is no need to worry about anything after the big event is done.

Think here.Liang Shiyi took a breath, and said confidently, "Don't worry, prepare for a long time, and I guarantee that there will be no problem. As long as the army enters the city, relying on the guards and police in Beijing will not be able to turn the world around. At that time, we will control the key departments of the government, and everything will be under control, not to mention that it will not be just you and me, have you forgotten those people who promised to fight together these days? Yuntai, you just When the time comes, you need to persuade the President well, and let the President stand by. As for the rest, everything is up to me. You can rest assured and wait to be your prince."

Hearing the word "Prince", Yuan Keding blushed with excitement: "Okay! Then, Yansun, I'll leave it to you. When it's done, you will be the founding hero!"

After confirming the details of Xia Mingri, they broke up.Yuan Keding rushed back excitedly, and while walking, his mind was full of thinking that he would become the real prince of the Republic of China after the event was completed tomorrow, the joy in his heart made him laugh so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.Sitting in the carriage, he was humming a ditty, beating the beat with his hands, with a look of complacency.

Seeing that it was not far from the house he bought, after getting home, get a good night's sleep, and meet Liang Shiyi again the next day.Who would have thought that while walking and the carriage stopped suddenly, Yuan Keding sat in the carriage for a while and didn't feel much, when he heard a few soft noises outside.

"what happened?"

"Back to the eldest son. The wheel is stuck." The outsider replied, and at the same time, the car body shook, as if it was pulling something.

"Trash! You can't even drive a car." Yuan Keding cursed, sat in the car and continued humming, waiting for his subordinates to finish their work and continue on their way.

After a few minutes, the car still hadn't left. On the contrary, the voice of the man just now came from outside the car: "My lord, it's stuck badly. I need to dismantle the wheel. Please move?"

Listen to this.Yuan Keding was annoyed for a while, but it didn't matter if he sat still in the car.Cursing and swearing, Yuan Keding lifted his gown and was about to get out of the car. He just pushed open the curtain and before he could see the situation outside clearly, he saw two people rushing towards him, one left and one right.Both arms were clamped so violently that he couldn't move, Yuan Keding was suddenly terrified.He opened his mouth to yell, but before he could yell out, a ball of towel blocked his mouth, and then his eyes went dark, and he couldn't see anything.

The night passed quickly, and the sun rose from the east the next day in a blink of an eye.At eight o'clock in the morning, Liang Shiyi arrived at the predetermined location with a few of his confidantes.In half an hour, it will be time for them to start their preparations. Everything has been arranged. Liang Shiyi raised his head and looked in the direction of the Forbidden City. There is still a baby emperor here, but this magnificent palace will soon have a new owner. And he Liang Shiyi will also leave his name in history as a generation of founding heroes.

"It's finally come to this day, it's not easy, it's not easy!" Liang Shiyi sighed in his heart, with a smug smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Brother Yansun, Marshal Cao's troops have arrived at Jiumen and are changing defenses with the guard troops."

"Okay! Please, brother, take a trip, and immediately lead the troops to control the various ministries of the government after the defense is changed." Liang Shiyi nodded and gave orders decisively.

After a while, another person came to report that a part of the central yang bank guards had also arrived at the city gate, and that the other side had sent liaison personnel.Liang Shiyi hurriedly sent a few more people to tell Wang Zhaoming that the main task of the guards was to take over the Beijing police station and assist Cao Kun's troops to maintain order.

Immediately afterwards, good news continued to come in. Seeing that everything was going according to his planned plan, the smile on Liang Shiyi's face became even wider.After waiting for more than ten minutes, he took out his pocket watch and looked at it. It was already [-]:[-], but Yuan Keding still didn't come, and Liang Shiyi couldn't help frowning.

"You... take someone to look for Mr. Yuan right away, what's going on? It's been so long and you haven't come yet."

"Yes!"

The people from Liang Shiyi quickly replied that they were in a hurry to find someone. After a while, someone came back and reported that Yuan Keding got up late today. I can come here.

It was nearly nine o'clock at this time, and all the arrangements were already in full swing. According to the original plan, Liang Shiyi should go to the presidential palace as soon as possible. Who would have thought that the unreliable Mr. Yuan would lose the chain temporarily.Hearing the report, Liang Shiyi was so angry that his nose turned crooked, and he cursed a few times in his stomach. After thinking about it, he asked someone to inform Yuan Keding that he didn't have to rush here and went directly to the presidential palace to meet.After explaining, Liang Shiyi made some more arrangements, and rushed to the presidential palace with a few people.

On the way to the presidential palace, the good news is that one after another, Cao Kun's troops have completely defended the nine gates, and some of them have moved into the city.As for the guards of the Central Bank of China, they have also arrived at the Police Bureau and controlled all the police officers in the Police Bureau, and cooperated with Cao Kun's troops to march to other ministries of the government.While he was on his way, from time to time he saw some soldiers running quickly on the street, scaring ordinary people to dodge, but Liang Shiyi was happy to see them.

"Okay! It's a big deal!"

Liang Shiyi clapped his hands and laughed loudly, and rushed to the presidential palace in a hurry.When he arrived at the presidential palace, he saw that the guards outside had been replaced by soldiers from the Third Division of the National Defense Forces and the Guards.After getting out of the car, Liang Shiyi was all smiles. It seemed that the progress was smoother than he had imagined. Cao Kun really deserved to be a good general, and Wang Zhaoming did a good job. In a blink of an eye, even the outside of the presidential palace was under control.

"Who! Stop!"

When Liang Shiyi arrived at the presidential palace and was about to enter, Qiu Ba raised his gun at the door and shouted loudly.

"Blind your dog eyes! This is Secretary-General Liang!" A guy next to Liang Shiyi jumped out and cursed.

"It turned out to be Mr. Liang, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Qiu Ba, who was guarding the gate, was taken aback for a moment, quickly put away his gun and bowed his head to accompany his smiling face.

"Are you under Marshal Cao of the third division?" Liang Shiyi waved his hand to stop his men from reprimanding these soldiers, and asked pleasantly.

"Yes yes yes." Qiu Ba of the third division nodded hastily.

Glancing at a soldier wearing the uniform of the guards, Liang Shiyi asked again: "Are you the guards of the Zhongyang Bank, Wang Jixin's subordinate?"

"Yes!" The soldiers of the guard army were much tougher than Qiu Ba of the third division, and they stood up to attention in a more military manner.

"Good! Good!" Liang Shiyi smiled even wider, and asked, "How many people are here outside the presidential palace now?"

When he learned that half a company of the third division and a squad of the guards had taken over the presidential palace, Liang Shiyi was determined and encouraged these few Qiu Ba to send ten soldiers to follow him. Together into the presidential palace.

After a while, a squad leader rushed over with the nine soldiers, and under the command of Liang Shiyi, they entered the presidential palace together.Contrary to the hustle and bustle outside, the presidential palace was still quiet. Suddenly a large group of people walked in, which made several staff members in the presidential palace stunned.

"Secretary, you are..."

"Where's the President?" Liang Shiyi didn't answer the words of an ordinary secretary, but asked instead.

"The big president is in the office, you bring so many people is..."

"You don't have to worry about it, I have something urgent to meet with the President." Liang Shiyi stretched out his hand and pushed the secretary away, and was about to walk towards the office.

"Secretary-General, of course you can see the President, but these soldiers must not go in." Seeing Liang Shiyi's murderous look, the secretary suddenly became anxious, and rushed over desperately to block his way.

"Tied!" Liang Shiyi glanced at this person sideways, and said a few words.Immediately, two soldiers rushed up from behind, tied up the secretary and threw it aside.Seeing this posture, the rest of the staff turned pale with fright, their calves trembled wildly, and they didn't dare to persuade them.

He led the soldier Yi to stride towards the office of the Presidential Palace, a place he knew very well, and he arrived outside the courtyard in a short while.Leaving two soldiers guarding the door, he opened the door and entered the courtyard, walking straight in.

"President! Liang Shiyi has something to see!" shouted outside the door, and before Yuan Shikai could answer inside, Liang Shiyi pushed the door open and entered.Entering the office, I saw a person sitting at the desk looking at the documents, and when he heard the movement, he was looking up at Liang Shiyi. Liang Shiyi continued to yell as he walked forward: "President... big... .”

I went on a business trip, and I just came back in the afternoon. I rushed out a chapter. These chapters are difficult to write. I am not satisfied with the writing. I wanted to make more revisions, but I didn’t update it yesterday. Forget it, I’d better send it out for everyone to read first. (To be continued..)
