.    Chapter 276 Crossroads

    "What's the difference between us soldiers, just because we all wear simple military uniforms"

    The song "Soldiers" was changed by unscrupulous people into a training song and spread throughout the naval camps all over the world. Yang Liehu led the singing in an unpleasant voice while leading his battalion to train along the imperial city. Next to Liuli  But Jin Wa couldn't arouse the slightest interest, because anyone would get bored after watching it several times. Now what he wanted most was to go and pinch someone, which was better than practicing like a dead dog every day.

    The soldiers have the same idea. The guard division is well-known throughout the army for its strict training. When it was first expanded last year, the veterans who were carefully selected from Beiyang all cried and cried for transfer after three months of training. Every night there would be people lying in the dormitory.  I wrote the transfer report, but 99% of the time I finished it, I rolled tobacco, because although it would be easier to go to another army, I was really reluctant to say goodbye.

    It is definitely a sad thing to run when you are fully equipped with a marching bag, a rifle, a bayonet, a water bottle, etc. Especially this year, it is hot early. It is only May and the sun is shining on your body. You feel burning, and you are covered in stinky sweat within a few minutes. The problem is  The helmet was not allowed to be taken off, and it was so heavy that it felt like there was a plank on the head.

    The song slowly moved forward around the roots of the imperial city. When it was about to reach Xihua Gate, the crisp snap made the military song suddenly stop.

    Gunshots?  !

    The very familiar voice made the soldiers disperse subconsciously and hide themselves. Yang Liehu was even more frightened. Who is so brave and dares to shoot on the edge of the imperial city?  Could it be those dead eunuchs who croaked like chickens and robbed dogs?

    No matter who it was, the sound of gunfire excited Yang Liehu and the soldiers who had been holding back for more than half a year. They immediately searched and moved forward. When they looked behind the Xihua Gate, they saw several robes from the guard brigade already lying on the bluestone.  , there are many eunuchs and people dressed as gangsters who are resisting in the distance.

    This is great!  Eunuchs and gangsters dare to stretch their claws against the army, they are simply impatient to live!

    Yang Liehu didn¡¯t say anything, and immediately ordered a company to go to support him. He walked towards the squad leader who was hit in the thigh: ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±

    The squad leader almost cried just now. He never expected that someone would escape from the Forbidden City under his nose. He knew who the person who deserved such a fuss was and picked him up, so when he saw Yang Liehu, he immediately understood what had just happened.  It all poured out.

    The little emperor was abducted?

    My dear mother, isn¡¯t this going to kill everyone!

    Yang Liehu, like the injured squad leader, prepared to send troops to pursue him without thinking. But at this moment, a huge commotion suddenly came from the Forbidden City. Hundreds of eunuchs and maids learned that the little emperor had escaped.  The whole place fell into chaos. When many people saw the Xihua Gate opened, they got ready to rush out after catching their private work.

    what to do?  How to do this?  !

    While the little emperor was about to escape, at the same time the Forbidden City was in danger. Yang Liehu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Fortunately, the battalion staff member woke him up: "Battal Commander, the little emperor can be captured after he runs away. If something happens to the imperial city, don't wait until the commander-in-chief  The commander gave the order and the division commander had to shoot us."

    Yang Liehu thought about it. The Forbidden City is a treasure of China. It had already suffered a disaster during the Gengzi era. It took a lot of effort to recover some of its strength, but it cannot be allowed to be poisoned again. What's more, it doesn't matter if it loses some treasures. If the desperadoes get angry.  God was about to accept me, so he immediately ordered all the gates entering and exiting the city to be sealed, and summoned the soldiers who were preparing to enter the city: "Remember, I am here. These are all the treasures of the country. Anyone who dares to touch them will be directly  Shoot them! Anyone who sees someone carrying something private after entering will be shot! Everyone must be searched!"

    "Battal Commander, what if women are also searched?" A young soldier asked with a red face. Yang Liehu was so angry that he cursed: "Search, search them all! If there is anything else besides body search, I will kill you first." Time.  After setting strict orders, he immediately led two companies and rushed into Xihua Gate. However, he did not know that at this moment, several battalions of the 101st Division from other gates who were deliberately arranged to train here were also ordered to enter.  The Imperial City protects the most magnificent collection of royal palaces in China.

    At this moment, the Forbidden City was in complete chaos. Since Yuan Shikai allowed the royal family to continue to exist, the imperial city became a world of its own. Not only were there a large number of eunuchs and maids, but six ministers were also set up to work inside. When the news of the emperor's sudden escape spread,  If you open it, you can imagine what kind of chaos it will be.

    A dozen eunuchs found swords and clubs from nowhere and swarmed into Kunning Palace. This was the place where the Queen Mother used to live. Although the Queen Mother was dead, there were a lot of valuable things. In addition, when Xiao Dezhang left, he missed his old relationship.  He didn't attack this place, so he became a favorite among the eunuchs.

    Bang bang the Jun porcelain vase was frightened by the two palace ladies guarding the door, knocking it over and falling to pieces on the ground. When the eunuch saw this, he couldn't help but hit him with sticks.After beating the two palace maids to death, they began to search frantically, including rings, harems, tops, and even embroidered shoes. When they were about to go out, they saw a group of National Defense Force soldiers rushing in.

    "***! I know these dead eunuchs are not good people, shoot!" There were scenes of robbery and fighting along the way, which already made Yang Liehu furious. When he saw that these eunuchs actually beat two palace maids to death in order to snatch things,  Without saying a word, he just waved his hand.  Before the eunuchs understood what was going on, bullets opened seven or eight holes in their bodies. The gold, silver and jewelry they had snatched were scattered all over the floor, and several of them rolled to the feet of the soldiers.

    The soldiers didn¡¯t dare to pick it up. They all knew that they would be searched by the military police who came when they went out, so they could only take a look at it for fun.

    Decisive action allowed the Forbidden City to quickly stabilize. The eunuchs who smashed, smashed, and looted were so frightened in front of the bloody corpses and blood that one or two threw away their things and fled. Unfortunately, all the roads out were blocked, and the huge Forbidden City was completely blocked.  Closed up.

    By the time the main force of the 101st Division arrived for a complete blockade, Yang Liehu and several brother troops who entered later had stabilized the imperial city. The eunuchs, officials and maids were separated, and the soldiers searched them one by one with expressionless faces. Even the maids were not found.  Let it go.  The maids who had been touched by the soldiers' big hands, even their private parts, burst into tears when they saw the young general with flowers on his shoulders. Unfortunately, they were disappointed. Delirium had no idea of ??pity for her now, he  Knowing that one must be hard-hearted at this time, even one's own soldiers and officers must be strictly searched before leaving.

    While Yang Liehu decisively entered the imperial city to prevent the incident from worsening, there was joy and laughter in the former Presidential Palace in Shishizi Hutong. After Yuan Shikai was paralyzed and returned to his hometown, it was taken back and became the Beijing Left-behind Palace. After the handover is completed, it will become the seat of the new municipal government.

    In order to give Yan Xishan a clean slate, Duan Qirui tried his best and hired chefs from several time-honored restaurants. However, Yan Xishan loved vinegar but disliked wine, so he stopped after tasting a few glasses.  Duan Qirui was a little unhappy about being pushed back at the train station. When he saw him put down his wine glass, his face suddenly became unhappy. He wanted to say a few words, but unexpectedly, a sharp copper whistle suddenly came from outside the window.

    In the past, everyone had heard the copper whistles used by the police to arrest people, but they didn't take it seriously. Even though everything else was not so good during the Beiyang regime, the police and public security in Beijing were pretty good. However, this time the police whistles seemed to be getting louder and louder. After a while,  There was actually gunfire!

    Most of the people here were born in the military, and even if it wasn't for the turmoil of the past few years, they had heard countless such voices. So Duan Qirui immediately lined up the tables, looked at Ji Fucheng and said angrily: "Go and see, it's that one  You don¡¯t have to open your eyes, you have to fire so many shots to catch a thief? Do you think it¡¯s a war!¡±

    Ji Fucheng knew what was going on best, but now that he was his immediate boss, he immediately got up and prepared to go outside to show off, but when he got to the door, he was hit hard.  The person who came in was Duan Qirui's confidant, the former commander of the 20th Division of the Beiyang Army, Fu Liangzuo. After the 20th Division and Fengjun were organized into the 14th Infantry Division of the National Defense Force, he could have been the deputy division commander, but Duan Qirui was recently transferred to Wuchang.  The deputy commander of the National Guard, deeply aware of the shortage of manpower, asked Fu Liangzuo back.

    Fu Liangzuo didn't bother to apologize to Ji Fucheng, so he panted and pointed in the direction of the Forbidden City and said: "No not good! Someone was making trouble outside Xihua Gate just now. The guard stopped him when he saw it, but he didn't think it was intentional.  To divert attention, a black car has picked up the little emperor."

    "What!"

    Not to mention Duan Qirui, even Yan Xishan, who had just taken office, jumped up, and Liao Zhongkai was so shocked that he couldn't even hold his chopsticks.  During this period, there was great unrest in Manchuria and Mongolia, especially after Tang Jiyao accepted Japan's commission to serve as the commander of the so-called Manchu Army.  Duan Qirui wanted to send troops immediately to completely wipe out these guys.

    I haven¡¯t figured out how to deal with this, but someone actually rescued the little emperor!  This is a big deal. Once the little emperor falls into the hands of the Manchu Army, his morale will definitely rise.

    "Why are you still standing there? Chase me! Chase them all. If you don't come back, I will kill you all!" Duan Qirui was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He lost his position in Beijing, but now he is a deputy deputy of the National Guard.  The commander is currently the highest-ranking officer in the National Guard in the northern region, and he is naturally responsible.

    Yan Xishan has also become an ant on the hot pot. Fortunately, as the mayor, he has not officially handed over yet, otherwise this matter will be enough to ruin his entire political future.  But this incident also made him feel bad. He was definitely not an ordinary person who dared to rescue the little emperor. It was not difficult to get out of the palace, but the difficulty was how to successfully break through the blockade of tens of thousands of troops in the entire Beijing-Tianjin area!  So he immediately looked at Kenji Doihara next to him. He wouldn't believe it unless the Japanese intervened and killed him.

      Doihara Kenji acted as if nothing was wrong. He changed his face and bowed: "Brother Baichuan must be very busy these days. I might as well come back to catch up with you next time." After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving a group of people behind.  There are a lot of government officials who don't know what to do.

    Looking at his leaving figure, Liao Zhongkai and others could already smell the smoke of gunpowder. The dawn of peace that they had just seen had lasted less than a year, and the nascent Republic of China had once again reached a crossroads.
