The Republic is so violent

Chapter 161 The Enemy of Beiyang (6)
In desperation, Yuan Shikai sent Fan Letian, commander of the government guards, to personally drive to the law enforcement prison to pick up Shen Zuxian.When Shen Zuxian saw Fan Letian, he boarded the car with a face full of grief and indignation, and the car drove into the Presidential Palace. When Yuan Shikai came out, seeing Shen Zuxian, he cupped his hands without saying a word.Shen Zuxian also didn't say a word, just stood there to accept the gift, but refused to return it, and after Yuan Shikai surrendered, he turned around and left.

Looking at Shen Zuxian's back, Yuan Shikai wanted to cry but had no tears: Is there such an unlucky person like me in the world?Anyone can scold me and blow me up with a bomb, but I can't even say a word, and it's a crime not to let someone blow me up...

In the midst of grief and anger, someone came to report: Report, the admiral of the Nine Gates, Jiang Chaozong, has something to do and wants to see the President.

Jiang Chaozong?Yuan Shikai said angrily: "If it weren't for this bastard's meddling, I would have been blown up to death, dead, dead, one dead, what a wonderful thing, I let the surname Jiang delay it, tell Jiang Chaozong to give it to me." Get out, see you!

This "Dragon Emperor" Jiang Chaozong really suffered eight lifetimes of bad luck. He solved a case that should not have been solved randomly, and in the end he offended everyone in the world.

22 Brother wants to kill my husband
The Xinhua Palace bombing, initiated and organized by Yuan Different, occurred in the winter of 1915.The involvement in this matter was so extensive that it had never been seen before. Even Zhang Zuolin, the king of the Northeast, received a Jianghu Feiyu order issued by Yuan Budong, asking everyone to join forces to deal with Yuan Shikai. This is one of the reasons why Yuan Shikai could not handle it.

However, the relationship between Yuan Shikai and Duan Qirui was as early as June of that year, because Yuan Shikai forcibly dismissed Xu Shuzheng from his post, and showed a strong hostile posture.

In fact, in Beijing in 1915, it was Duan Qirui, not Cai E, who was considered the best candidate to escape from the capital and raise troops.Yuan Shikai thinks so, Duan Qirui thinks so, and the rest of them just sit and watch calmly to see how Duan Qirui escapes and how to escape.

So how should one escape?
Duan Qirui studied this issue very seriously. After the study, he released the research results, saying:

I oppose the monarchy, I can only use words and not soldiers.I don't think the president can do anything against me; if it does, I'll just sit back and wait.

Duan Qirui's words were spoken in public.This is tantamount to a sad declaration of death, because Duan Qirui is Beiyang No.1, his mouth is a million soldiers, and he clearly opposes the monarchy, which means that bloodshed is inevitable.

It was against this background that the prince's attempt to assassinate Duan Qirui occurred.The reason why it is called "Assassination" is because the prince Yuan Keding is recruiting suitable manpower, but to be honest, it is quite difficult to find this manpower. People who can get rid of Beiyang No. 1, whether such a person exists in the world, It's a big question.

The question was still unresolved, the news leaked out, and the matter finally reached the ears of Zhang Ying's daughter.

Which one is Zhang Ying's daughter?

This Zhang Ying was Yuan Shikai's cousin, who was an official in Xinjiang, but died suddenly for unknown reasons, leaving his next daughter alone.Yuan Shikai took Ms. Zhang home and recognized her as his own daughter, and Yuan Shikai's eldest wife, Yu Shi, also regarded Ms. Zhang as her own. Every day, with a magnifying glass, she swiped around among the outstanding military officers in Beiyang, wanting to draw her. One of the best, to be Miss Zhang's husband.

In fact, the best thing is that you don't need to draw it, Duan Qirui is a ready-made one.However, Duan Qirui has a wife in his family, surnamed Wu.After finally looking forward to the death of Duan Qirui's wife, Yuan Shikai's family couldn't help but put Miss Zhang into the sedan chair and carried Duan Qirui's home.

So Duan Qirui's current wife is Yuan Shikai's daughter and the elder sister of Prince Yuan Keding.

Hearing that the prince's younger brother was going to kill Duan Qirui, Ms. Zhang was in a hurry, and hurried to find her adoptive mother, Yu Shi, and asked: Mommy, why did my younger brother kill my husband?

Kill your husband?impossible?Yu was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth: Keding wouldn't do this, would he?
Ms. Zhang said: It's no wonder if you don't know how to do it. If you don't believe me, ask him.

Yu Shi said: "This matter... Keding is old and there are too many people around him. I said it won't work. Let your father persuade him."

So Yu told Yuan Shikai about this, and Yuan Shikai became anxious when he heard it, and immediately called Yuan Keding over, and told him: "Your brother-in-law has an opinion on the imperial system, not with soldiers but with words."I heard that you are going to deal with him outside, so you should stop as soon as possible.He is a close relative of our Yuan family, and the matter has not been settled yet, and it is like this within us, and it will be even more unimaginable in the future.

Yuan Keding smiled and said: Father, you are overthinking, how can I be against Zhiquan, no way.

Accompanied by Yuan Keding's guarantee, it was the shocking case of an assassin entering Duan's mansion at night.

23 unsolved cold cases
Since Duan Qirui made it clear that he did not support Yuan Shikai's imperial system, he has lived in seclusion and thanked guests behind closed doors.

The person in charge of protecting Duan Qirui was Cao Shutong, who was previously the battalion commander of the Army Guard.He can be called Duan Qirui's dead man, and he is loyal to Duan Qirui.Knowing that the situation is delicate during this period, Cao Shu Tongsheng feared that he might lose something, so he ordered his soldiers to surround the Duan Mansion completely, and the inner house of the Duan Mansion is a forbidden area for death, no one is allowed to enter without authorization, and those who violate the order will be killed without mercy.

It can be said that Duan Qirui's family and himself are the only ones who can enter the inner house, besides Luo Fengge.

Who is this Luofeng Pavilion?

He is Duan Qirui's godson, a very outstanding young man.His father was a medical officer in the Beiyang Army, and since Luo Fengge was born, he grew up beside Duan Qirui. Duan Qirui loved him very much and recognized him as his godson and regarded him as his out, spare no effort to cultivate him.

After Luo Fengge grew up, Duan Qirui sent him to the Armed Forces Academy, and after he came out, he made him a lieutenant colonel in the Ministry of Army, which can be said to be kind and virtuous.

Therefore, this Luofeng Pavilion is the only person who is qualified to enter Duan Qirui's inner mansion amidst heavy iron siege.

It is said that one day, Luo Fengge walked into Duan Qirui's inner house as usual.At that time, Duan Qirui was reading a book. The old Duan liked reading very much, mainly Buddhist scriptures and medical books, as well as western military science works. He also read poetry, music and Fu. You can't let poor literati always call you rude.While reading, I saw Luo Fengge walk in the door with a strange posture. At that time Duan Qirui threw the book away and shouted sharply: "What do you want to do, kid?"
Hearing a plop, Luo Fengge fell to the ground in fright at the scolding.When he fell down, he couldn't get up because he had one hand in his pocket and was digging for something.

Duan Qirui has been in charge of the army for many years, he is the best at scolding, and immediately shouted: "What did you take out, bring it here."

Luo Fengge took out what was in his pocket, and it turned out to be a loaded pistol.

Luo Fengge's hand holding the gun was waving wildly because of fear. The situation at this time was extremely dangerous. Once Luo Fengge lost control of his emotions, Duan Qirui gave it a bang, and Duan Qirui would not be able to cast a spell.But Duan Qirui is an iron-blooded soldier who is on the battlefield. He is used to this kind of situation, and he is not at all chaotic.
Luo Fengge was overwhelmed by the shout, and involuntarily handed the pistol to Duan Qirui.Then his spirit suddenly collapsed, and he wailed loudly: They made me... But how can I bear it...

Shut up!Duan Qirui shouted: Don't talk about it anymore, and I won't ask.If you say one more word, you will be killed.You just say that you are sick, find a place to hide yourself, and never come here again.

Hearing the noise inside, Cao Shutong, who was in charge of the guard, was horrified and rushed in with the soldiers.Duan Qirui waved his hand: It's none of your business here, let him go.

The soldiers stepped aside, looked at the weeping Luo Fengge, and walked out of Duan Mansion step by step.

Because Duan Qirui was well aware of this matter and refused to pursue it, the person who instigated Luo Fengge's assassination became a mystery.

24 Liang Qichao's Draft
Duan Qirui got assassins repeatedly with Yuan Shikai, and the situation was the same. Feng Guozhang, another Beiyang heavyweight, was not idle and was also looking for opportunities to add trouble to Yuan Shikai.

Because of Hu Siyuan's relationship, Feng Guozhang and Liang Qichao had already connected and built a bridge at this time.

But this line between the two, this bridge, is super weird.The weird thing is that it is said that Feng Guozhang is a soldier, and the word "deceit" is the most important thing when using soldiers.Liang Qichao is a master of Chinese studies who studies heaven and man, so it stands to reason that he should hold the word "sincerity".But in history, the roles of these two treasures have been twisted. Feng Guozhang treated Liang Qichao with sincerity, but Liang Qichao treated Feng Guozhang with a "deception".

The most terrible thing is that the stupid old Feng didn't know that he was cheated by Liang Qichao, so he wanted to go with Liang Qichao to deceive Yuan Shikai in high spirits.

How Liang Qichao defrauded Yuan Shikai.

It is said that Liang Qichao arrived in Nanjing first, and when he saw Feng Guozhang, Feng Guozhang said to Liang Qichao: My debating ability is far inferior to yours.Your strength is not as good as mine.Why don't the two of us unite and go to see Yuan Shikai together and persuade him to give up the idea of ​​the monarchy.

Liang Qichao said: OK, wait for me to draft a persuasion draft.

Feng Guozhang: Persuasion draft... There is also a draft for this matter?
Liang Qichao: Yes, if there is no draft, you can talk nonsense with your mouth, how can that be done, there must be a draft.

So Liang Qichao spent a day and a night working hard, and actually came up with a draft of persuasion.There were dozens of clauses listed in the draft, which made Feng Guozhang dumbfounded.

So Liang Qichao and Feng Guozhang arrived in Beijing on June 1915, 6, and met Yuan Shikai.

Yuan Shikai hosted a banquet in honor of these two treasures, and when the food and drink were served, he said: I know the purpose of your two visits best, and it is to persuade me not to be emperor, right?
Feng Guozhang and Liang Qichao hurriedly took out the persuasion draft to read, shit, there is no such thing in the draft.The two were dumbfounded.
