    When the Chuyu ship sailed towards the dock while Tang Hualong was nervous and somewhat expectant, in the wind and snow outside Beijing's Donghua Gate, three young radicals from the Northern Party were also immersed in sorting bombs.

    "Xianwen, did you see Yuan Shikai enter the palace with your own eyes?"

    "Definitely! We will leave from here in a while. This time I have to blow up this living Cao Cao to avenge Suiqing (Wu Luzhen) and the others. Zhimeng, give me another one to tie together, it will be more powerful."

    The young man who was busy tying bombs was called Li Xianwen, the eldest brother who was questioning them about this operation was named Zhang Xianpei, and the person standing guard by the window was his like-minded partner Dong Zhimeng. All three of them were students of the Beijing Army Academy in Wuchang.  After the uprising, he actively promoted the rebellion in the north. Unexpectedly, after Yuan Shikai came back, he not only sent people to kill Wu Luzhen, but also recently launched a violent attack on Shanxi.

    Seeing the numerous casualties among his comrades, Zhang Xianpei, who was only 23 years old, could not sit still and immediately proposed a plan to assassinate Yuan Shikai. After some planning, it was decided that he would lead two people to form an assassination team and bring bombs to Donghua Gate to ambush Yuan Shikai.

    Dong Zhimeng said while standing guard: "By the way, you don't think Yang Qiu is similar to that living Cao Cao? They both made their fortunes in their twenties, and they both relied on fighting."

    "Nonsense! Yang Qiu is a great anti-Tatar hero. If he hadn't blocked Beiyang in Hubei and killed Wang Zhanyuan and the Fourth Town, how could Lianghuai and Nanjing be defeated so quickly?" Li Xianwen finished his retort and said enviously:  "It's a pity that I wasn't in Xiaocangshan at the time, otherwise I would have caught Wang Zhanyuan and slapped him."

    "Great hero, who named him? Aren't many people saying that he wants to hold the three provinces hostage and make himself king? In my opinion, you still have to be careful."

    "This is what Vice President Li said personally, not to mention that his patrol envoy was also told to the world by Mr. Sun!"

    "Okay, Mr. Sun is responsible for the affairs in the south. It's not our turn to worry about it." Recently, everyone has been disagreeing about Yang Qiu. Zhang Xianpei was afraid that the two of them would quarrel and alert outsiders, so he interrupted the topic.

    Dong Zhimeng closed his mouth, and after a while he asked uneasily: "Brother Zhang, is it true that Mr. Sun is going to give up the position of president to Yuan Shikai?"

    "I've said it so many times, it's just a delaying tactic! I'll blow him up today, let's see what else he's dreaming about!" Li Xianwen tied up the gun, weighed it in his hand a few times to test the weight, lit the cigarette and stopped talking, feeling at ease  Waiting for the carriage to appear.

    In the Forbidden City, Yuan Shikai didn't know that there was a bomb waiting for him outside. Although Xiao Zhang De had been waiting outside for a long time, how could he have any thoughts now?

    Yang Qiu became the patrol envoy of three provinces, and Sun Wen simply proclaimed himself president in Nanjing!  The two pieces of news were a complete shock to him!  Especially the latter, who previously promised to reserve the president's seat for himself, but now he actually takes it by himself without even saying hello!  Isn't this just a joke?  He was feeling aggrieved and angry, and his internal organs were on fire. He even hated Tang Shaoyi and Yang Du. He didn't know how they talked about it and ended up with this result.  Although Sun Wen kept sending telegrams saying that he would give up the throne and that the president was only temporary, who had ever seen someone who had great power and easily let it go?

    There are more than 100,000 people in Nanjing below, and Yang Qiu¡¯s national defense force above is protecting it. It¡¯s hard to get it back now!  So he regrets it very much now. Why would he sit and watch if he had known this?  Directly send troops to the second and third towns to attack Hubei together, kill Yang Qiu, and then go down the river to pacify the south.

    Seeing that time was not waiting for me, I would probably have to go back to my hometown to fish if I didn't take action. I just gritted my teeth and asked Yang Shiqi and others to write a memorial to persuade him to abdicate. He rolled up his sleeves and did it himself, so he ignored Liang Bi and others and walked in.  When the emperor saw Empress Dowager Yulong, he knelt down and shouted: "The Empress Dowager has done something wrong this time!"

    Yulong was counting on him now. Unexpectedly, he yelled "Stop it" when they met. Tears immediately flowed down, and he said with a crying voice: "Weiting, get up quickly. What's going on? Could it be that the rebel army came to kill him?"  ?¡±

    For fear of overacting and having a counterproductive effect, Yuan Shikai did not dare to stand up, and first said: "Please report to the Queen Mother and the Emperor. In the past few days, the ministers have tried their best and sent an army to levy the seizure, but they were all blocked outside Xuzhou. Wusheng Pass  It's about to be lost! Now the rebels are so powerful that they have stopped negotiating. I found out that they have an army of more than 500,000! Thousands of artillery, and more than a hundred naval warships! The Northern Expedition will soon begin, and that Sun Wen is probably  I will never back down from negotiations again.¡±

    Five hundred thousand Northern Expedition troops?  Thousands of cannons!  Yulong cried even louder, and Liangbi and others next to him were so frightened that they turned pale and cursed: "Yuan Weiting, if you hadn't sent troops to levy troops for a long time, how could we have been in this situation? I tell you, if  When the Qing Dynasty is gone, I will be the first to bury you with you!"

    Yuan Shikai has long been dissatisfied with Liang Bi's arrogance. He just relied on winning over some old men to form a socialist party and dared to talk nonsense. He also threatened to kill himself many times, but he didn't do anything.He angrily replied: "Why didn't I send troops? More than 10,000 loyal bones are buried in Hubei. Is this fake? Some people ran away from Nanjing as soon as the cannon was fired! What if Tie Liang hadn't lost Nanjing?  Those gangsters don¡¯t even have a nest, how can they claim to be themselves?¡±

    "That's why you haven't sent troops to Lianghuai for a long time?" Liangbi jumped up as if his tail had been stepped on.

    Yuan Shikai snorted coldly: "Send troops, why send troops? The national treasury is empty, Hubei alone has exhausted the military pay, and the soldiers have been rushed into battle without food or water. What if they turn against each other?"

    Seeing that the two people were quarreling more and more, the ministers tried to persuade each other. Yulong still had to rely on Yuan Shikai at the moment, so they quickly persuaded Yulong and asked: "Weiting. Today you can speak openly. No matter what you say, the Aijia will forgive you.  Now the Ai family just want to know whether the Qing Dynasty can be saved."

    Yuan Shikai was waiting for this sentence and quickly knelt down: "The Queen Mother Ming Jian, it is just a memorial that the lieutenant general asked me to bring. Fei Chen dare not say it. Queen Mother, you can see it yourself." After he stopped, he asked Yang Shiqi and others  The prepared memorial was handed to Yutaka.

    "All countries in the world have nothing but monarchy and democracy. Democracy, like Yao and Shun's surrender, is based on the people's will. It is incomparable to the subjugation of previous dynasties, and the people's army does not want to reduce the honor of the royal family by changing democracy. Read the history of the French Revolution  , if we could have complied with public opinion earlier, why would there be so many descendants of Louis? What the people and the army are fighting for is the political system, not the throne. What they want is a republic, not a clan. How can I, the Queen Mother, and the Emperor tolerate the destruction of the Nine Temples?  Shocked, how can I bear to take advantage of the public to go hunting? I will definitely be able to learn from the general trend and conform to the people's wishes."

    Yulong finished reading the memorial gently, his mind went blank.

    This is not a memorial, it is clearly a letter to persuade the Qing Dynasty to abdicate!  Looking around the world, republicanism is the trend.  Since the beginning of the war, the imperial court has been unable to make ends meet, and the foreigners are even more eyeing. In short, they can no longer fight, and the army can't stop them even at the doorstep.  Therefore, he was persuaded to abdicate voluntarily to avoid the fate of the rebels who went on the Northern Expedition to Beijing and were driven into the wilderness and Aisin Gioro was killed.  The first release of Hippo Sanren Bar

    Yuan Shikai observed Yulong and shed tears with him. Finally, when he saw that she had finally recovered, he kowtowed and left, saying: "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. I dared to hand it over with all my courage today. You and all the princes and ministers  Let's discuss it. If it doesn't work, I will resign from the Prime Minister's Yamen and go back to my hometown in Zhangde."

    After he finished speaking and exited, deafening shouts and cries could be heard in the palace.  He took a look and suddenly felt much more comfortable. He straightened up and walked out of the palace gate.

    In Hankou, while Yuan Shikai cried with him, Miao Luo, accompanied by Chang Si, arrived at the pier. Looking at Yang Qiu on the deck, something indescribable lit up in his beautiful eyes.

    Chang Si looked at her carefully from the side and guessed from his eyes that his gang leader might have a crush on Yang Qiu, but what should Miss Miao do?  What's more, even if people like me have a relationship with others, in the end they are just living in the world. How can they be worthy of such a person?  So I sighed secretly in my heart, and just when I was about to speak to attract her attention, I suddenly found Jin Lili appeared in front of me. I originally wanted to take action immediately, but thinking of Chen Haohui's warning, I didn't know what to do for a moment.

    Ruiyao also saw the back of Jin Lili at this time. Because he was wearing makeup, he didn¡¯t recognize it immediately. He just felt that the back was familiar, so he slowly focused his attention and quietly took a few steps closer.

    On the deck, after Lei Meng quietly nodded, Yang Qiu walked towards the gangway.  The first release of Hippo Sanren Bar

    Tang Hualong did not see Sun Wu and others, so he could only force himself to lead the officials to the gangway. When he saw Yang Qiu coming down, he immediately said: "Welcome back, Inspector Yang, but you don't know that you went to Shanghai during this time. I  We no longer have our backbone.¡±

    Yang Qiu held his hand and smiled slightly: "Minister Tang is too polite. Chen Hua is young and will still have to rely on everyone's help in the future."

    Seeing that there was no abnormality on his face, Tang Hualong breathed a sigh of relief: "Young and heroic patrol officer, you can buy so many foreign machines after a trip to Shanghai. It seems that we in Hubei are going to have a good life! It's really great to have you lead our three provinces.  It¡¯s a blessing for us, and a blessing for Hubei.¡±

    "Minister Tang, please stop making fun of me. Governor Li is going to Nanjing to be the vice president. In the future, the civil affairs of the three provinces will depend on Minister Tang and all of you for your help."

    "Yes, Zhu Xin, you are an expert in civil affairs." Just when Tang Hualong was about to be polite again, he suddenly saw another man in his forties walking down the gangway, wearing glasses and looking elegant. Yang Qiu introduced  : "Let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Zhang Binglin. He has agreed to serve as my advisory staff."

    Zhang Binglin?  Zhang Crazy!  Tang Hualong immediately thought of the man who was famous all over the world for his "Book Refuting Kang Youwei's Theory of Revolution" and was almost guillotined.  This guy is famous for his loose words. I heard that he was in?I even had a quarrel with Sun Wen at that time, and he violently cursed the party members for not doing the right thing and making a false revolution!  So he couldn't understand why he was recruited by Yang Qiu as his staff.

    Zhang Taiyan chuckled. In fact, he agreed to Yang Qiu as a staff just to see how far this young man would go. Seeing Tang Hualong, he was stunned and laughed: "Brother Zhu Xin, don't you welcome a crazy person like me to Hubei?  "

    "How could it be possible? It's too late for Hualong to be happy that Brother Zhang can come to Hubei." Tang Hualong laughed quickly, but he was already anxious to death. Zhang Taiyan was not an ordinary person. If he was accidentally injured, it would probably be no more troublesome than killing Yang Qiu.  big.

    Yang Qiu smiled slightly, glanced at Wuchang and said, "Yang has just taken office, so let's go see President Li first. How about Minister Tang accompanying me?"

    How could Tang Hualong dare to walk with him now? A gun might come over at some point. How could he pretend to be an act? "To be fair to the inspector, something happened in Tang's family, so."

    "Oh? What's the matter? Do you want brothers to help?"

    The first release of Hema Sanren Bar

    "How can I ask the patrol officer to help me with a small matter? I can just do it myself."

    Seeing his expression change slightly and waving his hands again and again, Yang Qiu smiled coldly in his heart: "Then minister, please go back first, and Chen Hua will come back to ask for advice on how to manage civil affairs after everything is done."

    Tang Hualong breathed a sigh of relief and left quickly.  This made the officials around who didn't know something was going to be a little strange. They didn't understand how this guy who was usually the best at flattering could avoid it, but who cares about him now?  Yang Qiu is now the patrol envoy of the three provinces granted by the central government of Nanjing. In the future, all the three provinces will act based on his expression. With a hundred thousand elite soldiers at his disposal, it is not too late to curry favor.

    Jin Lili and Zhang Zhenwu stood together. Seeing that Yang Qiu was surrounded by a group of annoying guys and still refused to come out, he was a little anxious. His fingers involuntarily touched the two grenades stolen from under his cotton-padded jacket. He slowly unscrewed the cover with his hands and took advantage of the opportunity.  The person accidentally hooked the drawstring on his finger.

    Ruiyao has sharp eyes, and it was already strange to see the rope. When she saw the familiar Yangtze Gang tattoo on the wrist where the rope was pulled, she immediately recognized who the figure on the back was!  His face suddenly turned pale, and he immediately touched his waist.  When his hands reached his waist, he realized that he had not brought a gun with him in a hurry. He raised his head and saw Yang Qiu slowly walking over surrounded by everyone. His eyes were so anxious that he couldn't care less and rushed towards Jin Diaoliang.  , scolded loudly: "Jin Mingsheng! How dare you!"

    Chang Si knew that something would happen today, but he also knew that Chen Haohui and the others were nearby. They must have laid an ambush for a long time. They just waited for Jin Lili and others to take action and prove the charges.  When Jin was diagnosed with dysentery, it was too late to stop him when he saw the pretty figure rushing over with a shout.

    The sudden shout caused chaos at the dock, and Chen Haohui was even more dumbfounded when he saw it.  Yang Qiu's order was for them to take control immediately when Jin Lili and others took action, so that they could implement the evidence that the other party wanted to assassinate him, but he never expected that complications would arise!  Jin Diaoliu shuddered suddenly and shot back without even thinking about pulling out his gun.

    "Bang!" The clear gunshot suddenly broke the cheerful atmosphere of the pier. When the prepared guards quickly blocked Yang Qiu, he only saw the beautiful gang leader in the crowd suddenly fell down, and then  There was a commotion all around like crazy.

    Zhang Zhenwu was quick-thinking and knew there was no way out. He immediately pulled out his gun, threw a grenade and shouted: "Nanjing has an order! Kill Yang Qiu!!"

    "There is an order from Nanjing! Kill Yang Qiu!"

    "Kill! Kill the dog thief Yang Qiu!"

    At the same time as the sound rang out, two grenades were suddenly thrown at Yang Qiu. Since the distance was still too far, Zhang Zhenwu quickly pulled out his gun and fired all the way towards Yang Qiu. At the same time, more than a dozen robe brothers and assassins hidden in the crowd also drew their weapons.  Guns were fired randomly.  Due to the two-person approach adopted this time, as soon as these people took action, the guards nearby also took action. In an instant, the entire dock was filled with shouts and gunshots.  Chen Haohui was eyeing the most dangerous Jin Diao, but Jin Diao was indeed an old man who had been in the world for decades. When he saw Rui Yao rushing out, he knew something was wrong, so he followed Zhang Zhenwu and rushed out as early as possible.  After hitting several guards, he got rid of Chen Haohui and rushed towards Yang Qiu who was already heavily protected.

    It's said to be slow, but it's actually fast. In fact, it only took a few seconds from the time Ruiyao rushed out to the time Jin Diaoli opened fire. The sudden gunshots sent the entire China Merchants Wharf into a frenzy, with cries, shouts and fierce gunfire.  In an instant, the entire Hankou was involved.

    Two violent explosions pushed the turmoil to the climax. Zhang Zhenwu knew that the distance was too far when he threw the grenade, so he rushed over with Jin Lili regardless of the sweeping shrapnel. People kept falling in the fierce gunfire.  Next, even when I was surrounding Yang Qiu and flattering him just now,Many officials were killed or injured.

    When the two of them rushed through the smoke and were about to rush into the pier, two sticks as thick as a bowl took the opportunity to sweep at their feet at the same time. Before they knew what was happening, the two of them were staggered by the sweep. The guards who had been on standby for a long time even  The soldiers immediately pounced on them and pinned them to the ground, punching and kicking them.  Zhang Zhenwu tried his best to avoid a fist, and when he looked behind him, his vision was split. It turned out that all the companions who were supposed to rush over together had been killed and fell to the ground. Not far away, a large number of soldiers wearing black skull badges began to rush in with loaded guns and ammunition.  pier.

    When he turned around and saw Yang Qiu looking at him coldly behind hundreds of guards, he finally realized that he had been on guard for a long time!  Suddenly he was so angry that his eyes were bloodshot and he wanted to curse a few times to vent his anger, but a gun butt was already thrown at him.

    As soon as the gunfire rang out at the pier, explosions and fighting sounds were heard in several places in Hankou at the same time. The dense gunfire was as dense as fried beans, and Hankou, which had just regained its calmness not long ago, was involved in panic and screaming. Countless people were frightened.  His face turned pale and his whole body was shaking.

    On the second floor of the small building, Sun Wu held up his binoculars and saw explosions and gunshots ringing out from the dock and several locations that were launched at the same time. He thought he had succeeded and pumped his fists in excitement.  Fang Wei and several other officers who had attended the meeting immediately drew their pistols and prepared to go back to incite the soldiers. But as soon as they came downstairs, the courtyard door and wall were suddenly blown open, and hundreds of soldiers rushed in like wolves and tigers.  Coming in, there was no telling what was going on, but there was a volley of gunfire.

    "Sun Wu is very happy to see you."

    When Sun Wu, who was bruised and swollen, was picked up by the soldiers, he discovered that Yue Peng and Zhang Tingfu were already standing quietly in front of him, and the black skull on his chest exuded a cold light.  The half-dead Fang Wei and other officers understand these black skull symbols better than anyone else. The most elite group of people in the National Defense Force is back!

    Outside, the gunshots were still ringing out. Hundreds of gathered Pao Ge, party killers and military scum rushed out of the gate excitedly when they heard the explosion. They saw that countless black holes of gun muzzle had surrounded them.  Surrounded by it, countless points of fire began to shine before our eyes.

    At the highest point of the Wuchang Governor's Mansion, Wang Anlan couldn't bear to put down his telescope and said: "Captain, is this too much? There are at least several hundred people."

    Li Yuanhong shook his head: "Jingbo, you have been with me for many years, right?"

    Wang Anlan didn¡¯t understand why Li Yuanhong suddenly asked this, and said in surprise: ¡°Captain, what are you doing?¡±

    "I'm old." Li Yuanhong sighed, looked at the smoke rising from Hankou, and said, "Now you should know why Yang Qiu had to run to Shanghai and go to Nanjing to get this centrally appointed status! This man has a scheming plan.  Deep, I am afraid that only the one from the north can compare to him in terms of ruthlessness."

    Wang Anlan¡¯s eyelids twitched wildly, and she pointed at the chaotic Hankou and exclaimed: ¡°What the governor means is that he actually guessed it a long time ago, so he wants this title?¡±

    "I don't know whether you guessed it or not. I only know that no matter what dynasty or generation, assassinating a central official is a capital crime! These people are making trouble and killing, but they have forgotten that he, the patrol envoy of the three provinces, was just announced in Nanjing.  Tell the world! Do you think that after he brings this matter to Nanjing, will the Party dare to set foot in the three provinces again?" Li Yuanhong slowly closed his eyes, with a painful expression on his face: "You will not survive if you do something wrong! I'm afraid this time  This gives him an excuse to completely cleanse the three provinces."

    ¡°Clean the three provinces!!¡±

    Wang Anlan stared at Hankou with wide eyes. Is Yang Qiu really going to risk the world's disapproval to clean up the officialdom of the three provinces?  !

    When an almost destined storm was about to sweep through the three provinces from Hankou, three bombs suddenly fell on the top of the carriage that had just turned into Donghua Gate from the north.  "Be careful! Protect your lord!"

    Yuan Shikai was squinting his eyes to figure out what to do next, when he heard loud shouts coming from outside, and then suddenly there was a loud noise next to his ears, and the hot air wave overturned the carriage almost instantly.  The obese man was violently thrown out of the car before he could react, and he was knocked to pieces.

    The guards were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they all rushed over.

    When the sharp copper whistle resounded through Beijing and the streets were full of shouts to arrest the rebels, Yuan Shikai, who was still in shock, returned to his house under heavy protection. Fortunately, the doctor found after examination that such a violent explosion only destroyed his clothes.  Just a few holes.

    "You bastard! All these gangsters should be killed!" Duan Qirui, who had come over after receiving the news, stood on Yuan Shikai's bedside angrily, but before he could come up with a way to retaliate, Yang Shiqi was already holding a telegram with his eyes distracted.  came over.

    "Xingcheng, what are you doing?"

    "Sir." Yang Shiqi swallowed, and after a while he came back to his senses: "An hour ago, Yang Qiu was also assassinated in Hankou!"

    "What?!"

    Yuan Shikai was shocked?Suddenly sat up, swallowed suddenly and asked in a low voice: "Is he dead?"

    No one knows whether the two assassinations that occurred almost simultaneously in the north and the south on January 16, 1912 were a coincidence or intentional.  The only thing that can be known is that while the voices of republic and democracy are still lingering, ugly assassinations have brought strongman politics back to the land of China.
