The Republic is so violent

Chapter 104 The Qimen Weapon (3)
The problem was with Tang Shaoyi. Before leaving, Yuan Shikai told him again and again: Xiao Tang, our attitude in the north is constitutional monarchy, remember clearly, constitutional monarchy, otherwise, then my old Yuan is Wang Mang, Cao Cao, Yan Song, Jia who forced the palace It seems like... All the treacherous ministers added together are not as serious as my crime.Therefore, we must establish a constitutional monarchy, and I cannot be left with a bad name in history...

Tang Shaoyi agreed face to face, but when she arrived in Nanjing and saw Wu Tingfang, Tang Shaoyi said:
When we visited and studied in this country, we were fascinated by the civilian politics of the United States.Self-serving the New World, he realized that its republican regime is beneficial to the national economy and the people's livelihood, and he was even more overwhelmed...

It turned out that Tang Shaoyi was extremely fascinated by American civilian politics, and her lifelong wish was about to be fulfilled. At this time, she really can't care about the blood and fire friendship with Lao Yuan. Let Lao Yuan die, China There must be a republic.

The envoys sent by the imperial court fell in love with the Republic.This made Wu Tingfang, the envoy from the south, at a loss for what to say.But Tang Shaoyi kept talking non-stop, and didn't give Wu Tingfang a chance at all:

The establishment of a republic and the establishment of a constitution are all of one mind. We Han people all agree... What we are discussing today is not against the republic, but a way to achieve peace.

Tang Shaoyi slapped his old buddy Yuan Shikai with a knife, but in this negotiation, Yuan Shikai was passive.Although Lao Yuan found out that something was wrong, he hastily revoked Tang Shaoyi's right to negotiate, but it was too late. Nanfang seized on Tang Shaoyi's words and forced Lao Yuan to declare: "What your own envoy said must not be counted, right?"
Yuan Shikai was helpless: republic... If you insist on republic, then republic.

The North and the South secretly agreed on five terms:
1.Determine the republic.

2.Treat the royal family well.

3.The first to overthrow the Qing court will be the president.

4.The soldiers of the North and the South are not responsible for the war.

5.Organize a temporary parliament to restore order everywhere.

After the two parties agreed on these five items, Yuan Shikai pondered, um, the remaining thing now is to force the palace.

Inform the Empress Dowager Longyu in the palace to decide the republican system through the imperial meeting.

During this period of history, the only witness was Emperor Xuantong Puyi.At that time, little Puyi was biting his finger, sitting on the dragon chair, watching the queen mother crying, and at the feet of the queen mother, there was a bad old man kneeling, crying too.

The Empress Dowager cried: "You see what should be done, that is how to do it."No matter what the overall situation is, I will never blame you, nor can I blame you.

The bad old man Yuan Shikai cried: "The minister and other ministers of state are in charge of administrative matters."As far as the safety of the royal family is concerned, you should consult the princes and princes who are close relatives of the royal family. The political system should be a constitutional monarchy.This matter is related to the safety of the royal family, and the queen mother is still requested to summon the princes of the nearby branch for further discussion and awaiting orders.

So an imperial meeting was held, and some princes and princes of the royal family were invited to the meeting.At the meeting, as soon as they heard about the republic, the royal family blew up the nest with a bang, and cursed Yuan Shikai in unison: "If you lose your mother, you can't reconcile. This beautiful country is the private property of our Aixinjueluo family. You slaves are allowed to be reconciled." Living in our family is already a great kindness, and now you want to share my Aixinjueluo's family, it is simply unreasonable!Yuan Shikai, you dog slave, I want you to wipe out the rebellious party in the south immediately in three moments, otherwise I will come to see you.

Yuan Shikai nodded again and again: Suppressing the chaotic party is trivial, too trivial... But you guys, since these thousands of miles of land and mountains are your private property, now the Beiyang Army is fighting for your property with the Southern Army, but the soldiers on the front line can't eat it. Have to eat, drink or not, you can see if the family pays some money and collects some military expenses... Hey, where are you guys?I haven't finished my words yet, where have everyone gone?

As soon as they heard that money was going to be used to finance the military expenditure, all the royal family immediately dispersed, and no one spoke out.Yuan Shikai was in a happy mood, boarded the carriage, and entered the palace to bully the little widow, Empress Dowager Longyu.

Later, Yuan Shikai left the palace and set foot on the way home.Between the carriages, suddenly something flew into the air and hit Yuan Shikai's carriage shaft with a bang, and then there was a loud bang, the carriage overturned and Yuan Shikai was buckled under the carriage.

At that time Yuan Shikai screamed: Oops, Sun Wen sent someone to drop a bomb...

10 Martyrs
Regarding Yuan Shikai being bombed by revolutionaries, the earliest record is mentioned in the book "Yuan Shikai Ji" written by his son Yuan Kewen:
...One day, when the late Duke entered the court, there was a man with a bullet in his arms. He fell in the left building of the Dong'an Gate Outer Road. When the late Duke returned to his residence, he threw a bullet at the chariot...and injured the horse driving the chariot. The horse was shot and galloped away. Returning, entering the mansion, the horse also died, the grandfather looked calm, and the slightest words were deafening...

Yuan Kewen, that bastard, managed to write a book, but still didn't explain the origin and reason of the assassin, it's really irresponsible.

Inferring the assassination incident, the responsibility is still on Wang Jingwei.

It is said that Wang Jingwei was imprisoned for plotting to assassinate the regent Zaifeng.After the Wuchang Uprising, all provinces became independent one after another, so the Qing government released Wang Jingwei in order to show favor to the Revolutionary Party.After he was released from prison, a student from Noble Academy came to visit.Since it is a noble school, the students are of course the children of officials.

Sure enough, the person who came was Zhang Xianpei.His grandfather, Zhang Liang, served as the admiral of Anhui, and later he was awarded the deputy general because of the suppression of the Tiandihui Rebellion.While Zhang Xianpei was studying in the school, the teacher happened to be a revolutionary party and advised him to shed blood for the revolution.Heartbroken, Zhang Xianpei came to Wang Jingwei.

Wang Jingwei asked him: You said your hometown is Guizhou, so why didn't you go back to Guizhou to start an uprising?

Zhang Xianpei said: I don't want to go back to Guizhou, I want to work with you here.

Wang Jingwei asked: "One piece?"What are you doing?
Zhang Xianpei suggested: Look, how about we join forces to blow up Yuan Shikai?
Wang Jingwei: ...Blowing up Yuan Shikai?Why bomb him?
Zhang Xianpei said: Is there even a need to ask?Now the Qing court relies on Yuan Shikai alone. As long as he is killed, the revolution will almost succeed.

Wang Jingwei shook his head: No, no, let me tell you the truth, Yuan Shikai actually admired the republic, and had long intended to do whatever he wanted.If you kill him, you are afraid that the world will be full of disasters and wars will break out everywhere.So what I mean is, don't rush to do it first, contact your comrades first, and then talk after you are ready.

Zhang Xianpei agreed, and went to contact comrades.Here Wang Jingwei was sent by Yuan Shikai to Nanjing to join Sun Wen, and then Wang Jingwei did not say to return to Beijing soon, but wandered around the West Lake.Zhang Xianpei felt very lonely in Beijing alone, but in the end he met fellow villager Huang Zhimeng.

Huang Zhimeng, with a burly appearance and a smart appearance, has a very sad past.In the early years, the French seized Vietnam, and the Vietnamese asked for help from China, but the Qing court was too busy to take care of themselves, so many martyrs went there one after another.At that time, Huang Zhimeng was also going to Vietnam. When his parents found out, they tricked him into picking up things from a house. As soon as he entered, they locked the door outside with a bang, preventing him from coming out again.Huang Zhimeng was so anxious that he jumped around the house. In the middle of the night, his wife quietly came to the door, opened it for him, and encouraged him to go to the frontier to kill the enemy.But Huang Zhimeng had no travel expenses, so his wife pulled off the hairpin from her head and gave it to Huang Zhimeng to sell for money on the road.

Huang Zhimeng took his wife's hairpin as travel expenses, and went to Vietnam after all the hard work, but saw the heads of martyrs who rushed to Vietnam at their own expense, hung on flagpoles by Frenchmen.Huang Zhimeng returned home crying, and told his wife that after hearing this, the wife was sad about the state affairs, but she couldn't get sick, and the scent of fragrance disappeared quietly like this.

His beloved wife died of worrying about the country. Huang Zhimeng swore in his heart that he would never marry, so he entered the capital and studied in the Surveying and Mapping School run by the Military Counselor Office, secretly collecting many maps.

When Zhang and Huang met, they were overjoyed. They chatted all night and decided to raise the flag of rebellion in the city of Beijing and do something earth-shattering.The next day, Huang Zhimeng drifted away without a trace, and came back a few days later, bringing another person to Zhang Xianpei.

The person who came with Huang Zhimeng was surnamed Yang, and his name was Yang Yuchang. He used to teach at Baoding Army Middle School.After the Wuchang Uprising, he said to the students: "The man has made great achievements. At this moment, the lords and I will vote in various provinces, and secretly allied with the party members to rise up to save the country from danger."Then he led a group of students to Shanghai, only to find that the Shanghai Revolutionary Party had gathered in groups all over the streets, and they all shot and set fire to Chen Qimei's Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, demanding back wages.

So Yang Yuchang said: To capture a thief is to capture a king!So he took the road to Beijing and contacted the party members along the way, but he was inexplicably suspected by the party members that he was a spy of the Qing court.Yang Yuchang was furious, and said: The most dangerous thing is to die, you can always stand out if you don't die, let me make a big one for you!
So Zhang Xianpei, Huang Zhimeng and Yang Yuchang arrived in Beijing together, and the three of them worked together to kill Yuan Shikai.

11 The assassination process of the rich second generation
The three righteous men made an oath in Beijing, and Yang Yuchang asked Zhang Xianpei where he wanted to start.

Zhang Xianpei said: The only thing I worry about is Tuzitou and Tuzitou. Tuzitou is Yuan Shikai’s Yuanzi Tutou. Because there are many spies in Beijing, this secret language is used. Wang Zhaoming told me before that Tuzitou has a heart anyway. So I didn't take action for a long time, but until today, there is no movement at all, and the situation is getting worse and worse. If I don't do it again, I'm afraid it will be a disaster.

Yang Yuchang took it for granted, and the three of them got a pistol bomb and discussed and decided. On January 1912, 1, they led a dozen party members to Donghuamen. It is the cavalry of Yuan Datou.The three were delighted, Zhang Xianpei and Yang Yuchang walked back and forth in front of a nearby shop, Huang Zhimeng turned to Dong'an Market, ready to block Yuan Shikai's way.

Not long after, I saw Yuan Shikai coming out of the inner court, sitting in a two-horse carriage, with a protective cavalry in front, rushing towards this side. Zhang Xianpei and Yang Yuchang each held short guns in their hands, and suddenly rushed out, leading all the party members to bang bang bang. With a wild shot, the horse team was stunned, and then a bomb was thrown, which overturned Yuan Shikai's carriage with a bang.

Although the bullets flew like rain, no one was injured at the scene. Unexpectedly, a bullet hit the water pipe on the side of the road, bounced back with a bang, and hit Yuan Shikai's guard captain, Yuan Jinbiao, on the head of the horse. Hearing a loud bang, the horse's head exploded, and Yuan Jinbiao fell off the horse. He didn't know how injured he was, but he never got up again.

The cavalry guards rushed over like crazy, and captured Zhang Xianpei and Yang Yuchang.

There was also Huang Zhimeng at the Dong'an market. Seeing Yuan Shikai get out of the carriage and run towards the front, Huang Zhimeng was furious, gun in hand, and came after him.Don't be wary of two detectives suddenly pounced on each side of the road, one left and one right, grabbed Huang Zhimeng's arm suddenly, and captured Huang Zhimeng.

At this time, the policeman rushed to hear the sound, surrounded the tea shop, and ordered all the people inside to come out with their hands raised. The policeman searched them, found several bombs one after another, and took down several party members. There is also a party woman.

While searching, a gunshot rang out from nowhere, and a patrolman on a horse fell headfirst.The patrolmen hurriedly drew their guns and chased after him, but the shooter had already disappeared without a trace.

In this assassination, in addition to Zhang Xianpei, Huang Zhimeng, and Yang Yuchang, among the party members captured were Xiao Sheng, Tao Hongyuan, Xu Tonghua, Fu Enxun, Huang Yongqing, Xue Rong, Li Huailian and a party member surnamed Zheng.

Regarding the three bloody men, it is said that Zhang Xianpei was shot in the back of the head and died on the spot after being shot in the back of the head.One said that the three of them were tied to the execution ground and executed two days later.There is also a saying that Yuan Shikai's general Lu Jianzhang wrapped the three volunteers in cotton quilts, poured kerosene on them, and set fire to them to death.

On his deathbed, Huang Zhimeng left a deadly poem:
In the past, the scalp was bumping hard, but now the blood shadows are scattered into spots.

The red dots splashed all over the ground, leaving layer by layer for future generations to see.

When the three righteous men died, Mr. Sun Wen was overwhelmed with grief and indignation. He issued an order in mourning, saying that the martyrs such as Yang Yuchang "went to Tianjin and Shanghai, organized everything, made great achievements, and died in Beijing." The three righteous men were named Youduwei , to issue pensions to family members.

After the incident, Yuan Shikai continued to force the palace, and sent party members Peng Jiazhen to assassinate the leader of the Zongshe Party, Liangbi.Speaking of Liang Bi, he was a reputable tough guy. He was wounded by Peng Jiazhen and needed amputation, but he gritted his teeth and refused to use anesthesia.He really stared at his own leg being amputated, the scene was really scary.However, before the blood was completely shed, Liangbi had already lost too much blood and died.If this person is still alive, there will still be a battle between dragons and tigers, and there will be twists and turns on the road to the republican revolution.

On the day Liangbi was assassinated, Beiyang general Zhang Huaizhi was taking a train from Beijing to Tianjin.The car goes to the new station and stops temporarily.Zhang Huaizhi sat in the car, looked out the window, and said: "It's a great river and mountain, but it's a pity that it fell into the hands of Yi Di. Three thousand fans, they actually slept with Jie Nu... Before I finished speaking, I heard a flicker, and a bomb was thrown from the window." , hitting Zhang Huaizhi's head.Zhang Huaizhi yelled "mother" because of the smash, and when he looked closely, he saw a handsome and handsome young man with a fierce face, holding a short gun, jumping into the car.

Fortunately, the bomb didn't explode, Zhang Huaizhi turned around and ran away without hesitation, the beautiful boy chased after him with a gun, bang bang bang just shot at Zhang Huaizhi.Fortunately, Zhang Huaizhi's attendants covered Zhang Huaizhi with their bodies like crazy, rushed forward, and captured the beautiful boy.

Asked his name, the beautiful young man said sharply: "It's a great river and mountain, but it's a pity that it fell into the hands of Yi Di, and three thousand fans slept with Jie Nu."Wuna, the dog servants of the Qing court, listen carefully, a certain family is Xue Chenghua, the young owner of Huarong Foreign Firm in Shanghai. His family is rich and he yearns for revolution, so he came to Beijing with his comrades Che Xiyuan, Zhang Molin, and Qu Zhenzong. Kill Feng Guozhang, Tieliang, Yinchang and Liangbi.I only hate that the bombs given by the Revolutionary Party are all stink bombs, and none of them will be exploded, otherwise you, a Jie slave, will die.

After hearing this, Zhang Huaizhi murmured, "Is there any mistake? You are a rich second generation, and you actually engage in assassinations. The impact of this revolutionary idea on young people is really terrible...

Although the beautiful boy Xue Chenghua was secretly killed by Zhang Huaizhi, his final blow not only frightened the royal family, but even the Beiyang soldiers felt the horror of the revolutionary storm.

Hurry up, hurry up and force Emperor Xuantong to abdicate, or he will be killed if it is too late.

12 You are too talented

The North-South peace agreement was reached, and Yuan Shikai reported the terms of the decision to Queen Mother Longyu.

The Empress Dowager opened the peace talks, burst into tears immediately, and said: Are you really going to overthrow my Qing Dynasty?I am not even allowed to say "the emperor's title will never be replaced", so what kind of people do I think my mother and son are?
The eunuchs, maids, and guards all burst out in mourning. Yuan Shikai had no choice but to pretend to cry with everyone.When everyone was tired from crying, he patiently explained: Queen Mother, the abdication of the emperor is the heart of Lord Yao and Shun, and it is a good thing.Chen had been arguing for a long time with that guy from the south, Xie Xing, but there was no way out. This was their ultimatum.

Empress Dowager Longyu cried: Yuan Shikai, since my mother and son have entrusted you with our wealth and life, we will definitely not complain about you, so you should follow the resolution.

Yuan Shikai was overjoyed: I obey the order.

Hurrying out of the palace, Yuan Shikai returned home and immediately told Hong Shuzu: Hurry up, hurry up, take a pen and start writing, and write the emperor's abdication edict.

Hong Shuzu: ...Let me write it?

Yuan Shikai: Nonsense, if you didn't write it, why don't you let me write it?
Hong Shuzu: Yes, yes, I write, I write, I write, I write, I write... Hong Shuzu returned to the book case, swiped his pen for a long time, and showed it to Yuan Shikai: Boss, how about this?
Yuan Shikai took the edict and read it.Looking at it, he suddenly roared: Lose your mother, which **** bastard wrote the edict of abdication?It's smelly and long, and after just a short while, reading this edict made me fall asleep twice, isn't that nonsense?
Hong Shuzu: ...how can I blame this?I said I'm not good at writing this...

Yuan Shikai: Then send a telegram to your brother-in-law Zhao Fengchang immediately, asking him to draw up the emperor's abdication edict immediately.

Hong Shuzu: As I said, Zhao Fengchang is not my brother-in-law, I am his brother-in-law...

Yuan Shikai: Don't care who the brother-in-law is, you should hurry up and stop talking nonsense here.

After a while, Hong Shuzu came back with a thick stack of telegrams in his hand: Boss, this is the abdication edict sent by my brother-in-law Zhao Fengchang. It has been written for almost half a month...

Yuan Shikai: Look, look, I said that Zhao Fengchang is your brother-in-law, but you are always arguing.

Hong Shuzu: ... No, no, I was confused by you and made a mistake. Zhao Fengchang is really not my brother-in-law, but I am his brother-in-law...

Yuan Shikai: All right, all right, don't bother me, let me read this imperial edict.

I honor the order of Empress Dowager Longyu:

In the past, due to the uprising of the militia, the provinces responded, and the nine summers were boiling, and the people were dying.Yuan Shikai was specially ordered to dispatch personnel to discuss the overall situation with representatives of the militia, discuss the opening of the National Assembly, and referendum on the political system.For two months, there was no sure way.The north and the south stand against each other, businessmen stop on the way, scholars are out in the wild, just because the state is not determined for a day, so the people's livelihood is uneasy for a day.Today, the people of the whole country tend to be republican in their psychology. The provinces in the South and Central China advocate it first, and the generals in the north also advocate it later. The destiny of the people can be known.How can I bear the honor of the same surname, and the likes and dislikes of Zhao Zhao people?It is used to look at the general situation, internally review public opinion, and specially lead the emperor to make the ruling power public to the whole country, making it a constitutional republic.Nearly comfort the hearts of the people who are tired of chaos and look forward to governance, and far cooperate with the ancient holy world for the righteousness of the world.Yuan Shikai was previously elected as the prime minister by the Council of Ministers. When the old and the new are replaced, it is advisable to have a way to unify the north and the south, that is, Yuan Shikai organizes a provisional republican government and negotiates with the militia for a unified method.In the general period, the people will be safe and secure, and Nghe An in the sea will still be the safe territory of the Han, Manchu, Mongolian, Hui, and Tibetan tribes as one big Republic of China; Yu and the emperor can retreat to a leisurely place, enjoy the years, and enjoy the preferential gifts of the people, and be close to each other. Wouldn't it be nice to see Zhi Zhi's success?This is it.

Yuan Shikai took it over and looked at it, and was overjoyed: "Xiao Hong, your brother-in-law really has a lot of talents. He retreats and spends time leisurely. His writing is really talented!"
So he took this edict to Xu Shichang, Xu Shichang changed it again and again, and then entered the palace, and asked the Queen Mother Longyu to call the princes and ministers to come and announce the edict.

The queen mother cried: "Nowadays, the princes and ministers have already fled to the concession with their gold and silver. It's just our poor mother and daughter. You can just declare like this."

In the sound of proclaiming the edict, the Empress Dowager Longyu burst into tears, and the tears flew like rain, and all the eunuchs also cried loudly.

But at this time, outside the palace, the whole of Great China was filled with joy, and the sound of firecrackers shook the world.

Democracy!
Republic!
In this great time of universal celebration, rattling, fierce gunshots came from the direction of Wuchang, the Holy Land of Revolution.

Fighting again.
