    Yang Qiu headed north with firm steps and faced the difficulties. When he was preparing to face the great powers for his dream, he didn't know that an accident had quietly come.

    There is an inconspicuous two-story European-style small bungalow in an alley not far from Dongjiaomin Lane. Its former owner was a Belgian railway supplier. After making a fortune building the Beijing-Hankow Line, he returned to China to enjoy his fortune and sold the house to Japan.  merchant.

    Except for the Japanese-style wooden door plate at the door, there are no changes inside. The four characters "Banxi Mansion" are clearly visible on the door plate. At this time, Banxi Mansion was not as hated as he would be in later generations. Everyone thought that he was just the Japanese military attach¨¦ in China, Colonel Banishi.  A fellowship club founded.

    In the office on the second floor of the clubhouse, Wu Guangxin changed into a suit and combed his hair in a small parting. After applying hair oil, his scalp was shiny, which made people wonder if the hotter weather would attract a head full of flies.

    After Beiyang was swallowed up by the National Defense Forces, all generals like him who neither understood military skills nor had any real knowledge were dismissed. Yang Qiu directly retained his military rank and asked these people to retire, or give them a considerable severance pay, or receive national  Pension and waiting to die, as for those who resisted, they directly followed Cao Kun and Duan Zhigui's method, arresting and ransacking their homes.

    Unlike his brother-in-law, Wu Guangxin had no intention of staying in the army, so he started a small business in Beijing after receiving 20,000 yuan in retirement pay. He also made a lot of money by relying on Duan Qirui's opportunity to serve as a stay-at-home officer in Beijing, and his life was not bad.  Moisturizing, but recently Yang Qiu suddenly created a municipality. He wanted to transfer Beijing directly to the central government. He also transferred the jealous Yan Laoxi to serve as mayor, and transferred Duan Qirui to Wuchang as deputy commander of the National Guard.  The future becomes bleak.

    But today he had a windfall in front of him.

    At Colonel Banishi¡¯s signal, Kenji Doihara, who had just arrived in Beijing as an assistant last year, took out a stack of Japanese yen from his wallet: ¡°These are just a little thought for you, I hope you¡¯ll accept them.¡±

    Wu Guangxin glanced at Kenji Doihara, who had round cheeks, and was surprised that he could speak a standard Beijing accent. Although many Japanese people can speak Chinese, this was the first time he could speak Chinese with such a standard.  The thick stack of yen is worth tens of thousands. This is not a large-scale industrial investment like Yang Qiu's. Ten thousand yuan is a huge sum of money among the people. With it, you can go to Hong Kong and live comfortably for a few years.  good days.

    but

    He didn¡¯t reach out. Others may be unable to sit still in the face of huge sums of money, but who is he?  Duan Qirui¡¯s brother-in-law!  After living in Beiyang for so many years, I know very well that the money of the Japanese is easy to get, and Yang Qiu's national society and the Japanese are not willing to deal with it. Wang Yitang is still counting straw in prison.

    Colonel Banishi seemed to know that he would not agree so easily, and quietly winked at Kenji Doihara, who took out another stack of yen codes and placed them on top of the previous pile, saying: "Don't worry, sir, we just want to invite you."  Just a small favor, these are just deposits. After the matter is over, your family and Mr. Duan can all immigrate to our country, and we will protect your safety."

    Kenji Doihara took out stacks of Japanese yen from his bag as he spoke. In the blink of an eye, there was a thick stack of Japanese yen in front of him. It was a hundred thousand, which made Wu Guangxin a little unable to sit still. One hundred thousand!  !  This is a substantial amount of money.

    But the higher the pile of money, the less stable he felt. How could these Japanese people be so kind? Why did they give him so much money?  So I forced myself to ask: "Let's talk about what happened first."

    Seeing his greedy gaze, Osaka Banishi and Kenji Doihara both smiled, and the latter said: "We want you to help us take someone out of Beijing."

    Take someone to leave?  Even if you want to kill Yan Laoxi, you don¡¯t need 100,000, right?  "Who is it?" After Wu Guangxin lowered his voice, Doihara Kenji calmly took out a cigar and handed it to him. He also lit it for him before suddenly saying: "Emperor."

    "Who?!" Wu Guangxin shouted and almost jumped up, and the cigar he just held between his fingers fell to the ground.

    "His Majesty, the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty." Colonel Banxi tapped his fingers on the table: "As a civilized person, the Empire of Japan believes that His Majesty has the right to choose his own residence, so we hope to take him back to his hometown."

    Bullshit civilized people!  Wu Guangxin cursed in his heart, he was not a fool.  What helps him return to his hometown? Do the Manchus still have a hometown?  The Manchus in Liaodong had all moved into the pass a hundred years ago. The land of Longxing in Fengtian was already ruled by the Han people. Now the people making trouble there are all the old and young who no one wants. Let the little emperor go back just to make more trouble.  Just be bigger and let the Japanese have a chance to intervene in the Northeast!

    After thinking about this, his way of looking at money changed a little. This money is too prickly!  If something happens, even his brother-in-law Duan Qirui won't be able to protect himself, and he may even get hurt. He waved his hands quickly: "Sorry, I can't help you. You two should hire someone else."

    Just as he was about to leave, Kenji Doihara took out a thick copy of photos from his bag.Information: "If you are not willing, then I guarantee that these things will appear on the desk of the National Socialist Party tomorrow." After seeing the photos and information, Wu Guangxin's face turned pale.  Above is the record of selling guns to several Manchus not long ago!

    After the fall of Beiyang, many guns and ammunition were resold. Wu Guangxin was one of them. Using Duan Qirui's relationship, he received more than 100,000 likes in less than half a year. However, he has been cautious in this matter. He only made one payment last month.  Because several Manchu buyers wanted to inspect the goods, they came forward in person. Unexpectedly, this was actually arranged by the Japanese!

    His heart is worth killing!

    Wu Guangxin's vest was cold. He didn't expect that the other party would actually lay such a big trick on him. If he sold it to bandits, he would be imprisoned for a few years at most, but being involved with the Manmeng gang I'm afraid this  It¡¯s a serious matter of losing your head!

    "Don't worry, Your Excellency. We can grant you a temporary diplomatic passport. If something happens, you can immediately hide in our embassy and get asylum." Kenji Doihara saw his uncertain expression and was afraid that the secret would be revealed, so he said word for word: "You want to  What we have to do is very simple, just prepare a car and send away the guards outside the palace gate, and we will arrange the rest."

    Facing Kenji Doihara who spoke fluent Chinese, Wu Guangxin looked at the money and the photos, his face turned blue.

    Under the golden glazed tiles, there were children who were ignorant of the outside world. The little emperor had no idea that someone outside was hoping to take him out of this big cage. At this moment, he was lying on the ground watching a group of ants move. The eunuchs behind him lowered their heads and filled their eyes.  Impatient, he had so much free time that he might as well go to the side hall to find some treasures in exchange for money. It wasn't until he heard the sound of footsteps that he reluctantly cheered up. He took a sneak peek and saw that it was Chen Baochen and Iktan who were the teachers of the current emperor.

    Although the Manchus abdicated, there were many people who protected the dream of restoring the country. Zhang Xun still keeps his pigtails and does not allow people around him to cut them. Royalists such as Liang Dunyan, Liang Qichao and Johnston wrote articles in newspapers from time to time, although they did not directly claim that  Restoration, but the centralization of power they talked about pointed to the restoration of the imperial throne and the establishment of a Japanese-style constitutional monarchy.

    Among these people, Chen Baochen is undoubtedly the most active one.

    He can be regarded as a person who has experienced many ups and downs in the officialdom for a long time, but the older he gets, the more loyal he becomes. When he saw the emperor teasing ants, he shook his head in anger, and he couldn't scold the emperor, so he had to scold the eunuchs one by one.

    When the little emperor saw the teacher coming, he had to stick out his tongue and reluctantly went to the academy to study surrounded by eunuchs.

    "It's nonsense! It's really nonsense! These eunuchs should be better controlled. When I left the palace last time, I saw several people stealing things and selling them to foreigners. I almost got beaten when I tried to reason with him. Now I'm still trying to hook up with the emperor and not study.  There are really no rules when you come out to play!" Chen Baochen was still angry and stamped his feet in anger.

    Although Iktan is a few years younger than Chen Baochen, he is still in his fifties. He mainly teaches the young emperor Manchu.  After Empress Dowager Yutaka announced her abdication, he felt ashamed of his ancestors. He kept saying that the Guarjia family was full of heroes and felt sorry for their ancestors, so he hit his head on the doorpost. Fortunately, his family stopped him quickly, but there was still a scar on his forehead.  Fortunately, Yuan Shikai finally did not do anything wrong and retained the royal clan so that the young emperor could live a stable life here and receive several million in maintenance fees every year.  But he was determined to restore the country, so he quietly colluded with the clan members to continue to use the imperial system. Not only did he establish the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the clan mansion and other departments, he also retained the Department of Sentences to torture those who opposed the royal power.

    It¡¯s just that with Yuan Shikai¡¯s paralysis, the power in the south has become more and more unpopular. Nowadays, even the eunuchs are obeying the rule of law. Mischief is committed throughout the Forbidden City. Theft is common. Eunuchs and maids collude with each other to do dirty things. There are a lot of them every day.  Antiquities in the palace were resold, and several shops were opened in Panjiayuan to blatantly purchase royal supplies. Fortunately, the National Defense Forces directly slaughtered hundreds of people after moving in to stop this trend, but privately a lot of things still flowed into the private sector.  .

    Iktan, who had a scar on his forehead, had no intention of getting angry. He finally figured it out. Although Nanfang had not yet proposed to abolish the royal family, the management of the confinement had become stricter, and all the guards outside the palace gate had been replaced. If things go on like this  Even the eagle can't fly, so we must get the emperor out as soon as possible.

    Pulling Chen Baochen's sleeves: "Brother Tao An, we are the only old men who can talk here now. Can you tell us whether those Japanese are reliable? Although Wu Guangxin promised to pick up the emperor and send him to the Japanese legation, but  Why do I always feel uneasy in my heart?"

    Chen Baochen was startled. He quickly looked around and saw that there was only a deaf and deaf old sweeping eunuch in the distance. Then he breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother Zhongping, don't worry, it will be fine if the Japanese are involved in this matter. As long as Wu Guangxin sends  After passing the gate control, we escorted the emperor out of the palace and went straight to the Japanese embassy. When we arrived in Tianjin, there were also JapaneseEscort by large warships.  "

    "That's good. If I can return to Manchuria, no matter what happens in the future, I can finally be worthy of my ancestors, and I can enter the Gualjia family's ancestral grave when I die!" Iktan sighed bitterly.  The two of them were discussing "important matters" as they walked, completely unaware that the old eunuch sweeping the floor was always sweeping around the two of them not far away
