The Republic is so violent

Chapter 15 The Secret Marriage of Cixi and Li Hongzhang (3)
All of a sudden, the border ministers in the southeast, such as Liu Kunyi, Zhang Zhidong, and others were delighted: Wow, the old lady is missing, that’s great, the old lady has finally disappeared... Then what should we do in this country? Otherwise... how about we elect a president?Just use this opportunity to change the Qing Dynasty into a democratic system like the United States.

This is a good idea, and everyone immediately became excited: I think that this president should be Li Hongzhang. Old Li is so capable that he can even get the Empress Dowager Cixi... There is a difference, and the Jinluan Palace will overthrow the Empress Dowager , Li Hongzhang played with extramarital affairs, the first president of China, none other than Lao Li...

Li Hongzhang was overjoyed: I'm so sorry, how can I do this...Let's vote first, since we want to elect a president, the procedure of voting cannot be saved...

So everyone wrote letters to each other to vote. China is too big and the transportation is inconvenient. The voting process is relatively slow. During the voting, the news of the big bear market suddenly broke out-the Empress Dowager Cixi came back from the rivers and lakes. Running like flying with a cane.

Li Hongzhang cried when he heard the news.

It's over, let alone the president's death, I have to go back to traitor my mother again, my old Li has provoked someone, why is it so unlucky?
This short-lived democratic process quickly disappeared into the vortex of history.

(12) The Japanese under Sun Wen

On September 1900, 9, Li Hongzhang returned to Beijing to betray the country, and Sun Wen, the leader of the Communist Party, killed him back.

This time when Sun Wen came back, he was really angry.

His old nest in Honolulu was single-handedly picked by the wicked Liang Qichao, and the new group Xinghanhui was poached by Kang Youwei. It's Japanese.

There are many Japanese under Sun Wen, Miyazaki Tozo, Inuyang Takeshi, Okuma Shigenobu, Vicejima Tanedomi, Oishi Masaki, Ozaki Yukio, Yamada Yoshimasa, Yamada Jun, Kayano Ryotomo, Hiraoka Hiroshi, Inuzuka Nobu, Kuhara Funosuke, as well as the leader of the Japanese opposition party Toyama Mitsuru, plus House of Representatives member Yaroku Nakamura, Taiwan Governor Yugen Taro, etc., can be described as a wealth of talents.

Although there are plenty of talents, they are useless.

There is no shortage of Japanese here in China, and there are 8000 Japanese soldiers who invaded Beijing. Is it necessary for these people to come to join in the fun?

In short, things are very difficult to handle.

It was not until the arrival of an extraordinary person that this passive situation was reversed.

Master Pu Hang, a generation of eminent monks.

So what is the origin of this master?

It's still that Bi Yongnian!
He is no longer called Master Wuxuan. He thought the name was too rustic, so he changed his name to Puhang.

Bi Yongnian and Tang Caichang held the Congress together in Zhangyuan, served as members of the Congress, and served as the leader and deputy leader of the Zhengqi Society at the same time. However, their political views are somewhat different. Tang Caichang believes that the emperor is the guarantee of freedom and democracy, while Bi Yongnian does not. Agreeing to this point, the two disputed to the end, Bi Yongnian left in tears, and in grief and indignation, he even changed his legal name.

Master Puhang came here, and brought Sun Wen two teams from Jinlongshan and Tenglongshan. These two groups of brothers and the chief rudder of the Gelaohui, Wang Xiufang, originally ran away with Kang Youwei. Tang Caichang was killed at the same time. Li Yunbiao, the owner of Jinlong Mountain, and Yang Hongjun, the owner of Tenglong Mountain, fled to Hong Kong. Soon they had all their money spent, and when they were poor and sick, they asked Kang Youwei for help.

He didn't want Kang Youwei to hide and disappeared, and ordered the doorman to drive away the two big leaders. Li Yunbiao was furious and cursed at the door of Kang Youwei's apartment. The police came after hearing the news. The two gangsters were good at martial arts, but they were no match for pistols and batons. They were beaten to death by the police, beaten half to death, and covered with cuts and bruises.

There are different religions, the big leader is called a hero in vain, and the two mountain masters are humiliated.Li Yunbiao and Yang Hongjun climbed back, and they happened to be seen by Su Manshu who was translating and rewriting "The Miserable World".Su Manshu's astonishment at that time could no longer be expressed in words.

So Su Manshu burst into grief, went to Chen Shaobai, and asked to borrow Chen Shaobai's pistol.

Chen Shaobai asked: What did you borrow the pistol for?
Su Manshu cried:
Kang Youwei deceived the world, stole his name, pretended to be public officials, amassed money, insulted his comrades, and he should be wiped out if he has blood.

Chen Shaobai did not lend the pistol to Su Manshu in the end, but Li Yunbiao and Yang Hongjun followed Master Pu Hang and ran to find Sun Wen after that.

Sun Wen was overjoyed and personally sat on the ship Samaru Ferry in Japan. Sun Wen ordered that the Tongyi Xing Songbai Company be registered in Hong Kong as the headquarters of the uprising. Minister, all the Jianghu brothers selected 600 dead soldiers, led by Zheng Shiliang of the Xingzhong Society, Deng Ziyu as the deputy general, and Huang Yaohan as the vanguard.

Yaroku Nakamura, a member of the Japanese House of Representatives, was the one who bought the weapons, and Taro Yugentaro, the governor of Taiwan, was the one who bought the weapons.

General Shi Jianru of the Xingzhong Society sneaked into Guangzhou, whether it was by stealing or robbing, he tried to get money so that he could buy the green forest brothers in Guangzhou to join in the charitable cause.

Since returning to Nanyang, Mr. Sun Wen has been doing what he is best at - fundraising!
The action begins!

Zheng Shiliang led 600 people, armed with 33 guns and [-] bullets, and ambushed in a small grocery store in Sanzhoutian. The food in the grocery store was limited, and the brothers were so hungry that they ate all the tables, chairs and benches... About this In this battle, the only information historians have is the narration in Mr. Miyazaki Tozo's "[-] Years Dream":
... For several months, those who entered the cottage by mistake from nearby villagers were detained and not allowed to leave to prevent the leakage of secrets.Therefore, when the nearby villagers saw that those who entered the cottage did not come out, they gradually became suspicious, and rumors arose because of this.Said, "There are people in the Sanzhoutian Shanzhai who conspired to rebel." One spread to ten, ten to hundreds, exaggerated, and finally said that there were tens of thousands of people...

...Three months later, until October 10th, the brothers finally got hungry and red-eyed, broke out of the shop, and rushed to the city of Guangzhou. The brothers of the family came forward, but it turned out to be a Japanese friend Yamada Yoshimasa.

Yoshimasa Yamada brings you bad news:

Everyone was deceived. The Japanese congressman Yaroku Nakamura, who was in charge of buying weapons, bought all the weapons that were waste products and could not be used.What's more terrible is that the 8000 Japanese soldiers in Beijing will be at a loss at the negotiating table if the Japanese make such a fuss in the south, and don't lose too much because of small things...

When Zheng Shiliang saw the situation, he made a decisive decision, the wind was tight, shouting, and all the brothers scattered.Only one Japanese friend Yoshimasa Yamada who didn't know the way was left behind, and he was wearing a slatboard to look for a way out in the wilderness—but it was also strange, since he didn't know the way, how did he come to China and found Zheng Shiliang and others What about it——not long after, the Qing soldiers arrived and found that Yamada Yoshizawa looked very different from ordinary Chinese people. After being surprised, he caught and killed him.

Mr. Yamada Yoshimasa became the first Japanese friend who died in the Chinese revolution.

Afterwards, all the heroes went their separate ways. After Zheng Shiliang returned to Hong Kong, he was poisoned and died. The murderer is unknown.

However, Bi Yongnian returned to Guangzhou, set up a stall on the street and sold his suits. He only wore black clothes and lived in seclusion in Baiyun Mountain in Guangzhou. He wrote a book to everyone he knew:

In the future, there will be a giant whale with a strange horn, and a big pearl in the sky, who will be responsible for the destruction of our continent. Maybe he is a monk today?We enter the group to seek it.

This old Bi, he is still unwilling to be lonely.

Two years later, the eminent monk Master Puhang passed away in Luofushan Temple in Huizhou at the age of 32.

(13) Three bombings of the governor's office

When the Japanese friend Mr. Yamada Yoshimasa was brutally murdered by the Qing soldiers, in the city of Guangzhou, Shi Jianru of the Hui Party was digging underground, digging a tunnel with all his might.

This tunnel was dug from the underground of a house behind the governor's office to the governor's office.

Shi Jianru wants to blow up Deshou, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and blow up the entire governor's office, awaken the people with earth-shattering explosions, and propagate the revolution with flying flesh and blood.

Why do you want to do this?Sun Wen entrusted Shi Jianru with the task of getting money first, and then spending money to buy green forest heroes to do it together?

This is because there are not many people who are capable of making money like Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao. At least Shi Jianru lacks talent in this area. Not so easy.

So making money was not a good job, so Shi Jianru looked for intermediaries everywhere to sell his real estate, until Zheng Shiliang failed and Yamada Yoshimasa was killed, and then he sold a house and got 3000 yuan.

3000 yuan is a lot, but it is far from enough to buy green forest roads.

So Shi Jian was desperate, and took the 3000 yuan to rent a private house at the place closest to the governor's office, planning to dig a tunnel from the ground, digging directly under Governor Deshou's bed, and simply blast Deshou and the governor's office to the sky!

The project is progressing smoothly, but overnight, the tunnel has been dug.

Two hundred pounds of explosives were brought in and placed under the bed of Deshou, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.

There was enough explosives, once the two hundred pounds of explosives exploded, it would be difficult to find traces of Deokju's existence.

The explosives were placed in a large iron bucket, the lead wires were arranged, and a stick of incense was lit. As the so-called time of a stick of incense, the Deokshou brothers should ascend to heaven.

Shi Jianru left the house, locked the door, arrived at the pier, boarded a boat, and was about to leave for Hong Kong... He saw people coming and going on the street, and people's faces were filled with happy expressions. The happiness of the people of Guangzhou is understandable. At this time, guns are booming in the north, and foreign devils from eight countries are chasing and killing the Empress Dowager Cixi...Compared to northern China, how can the people of Guangzhou not feel happy?

Sing and dance to promote peace, singing and dancing.

But it shouldn't.

It's not that the people of Guangzhou shouldn't be happy, but judging from the extremely happy expressions of the masses, it's clearly not like something big has happened.

Shi Jianru was full of confusion, he jumped off the boat, went back to the governor's office and took a look, tsk tsk, the governor's office was lying on the ground perfectly.

This is how the same thing?

Why didn't the dynamite explode?

Shi Jianru went back to the house again, opened the door, walked in, and went down the tunnel. When he got to the end, he saw that the explosives were placed there in good condition. The fuse did not ignite.

No wonder.

Shi Jianru was very angry. This time he simply ignited the fuse, and it wouldn't explode if you don't believe me.

He rushed out of the tunnel quickly, went out, and walked like flying, only to hear a loud bang, Shi Jianru turned his head to look again, and saw several houses collapsed, people were either dead or injured, crying and crying with blood streaming down their faces.

The governor's yamen was also left behind, and a small section of the wall collapsed.

Moreover, De Shou, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, was also so shocked that he jumped straight from the bed and fell to the ground with a thud...

That's the whole effect of the explosion.

Shi Jianru pondered left and right, and finally figured out the reason.

Leads are too short!

Two hundred pounds of dynamite, only a fraction exploded...

Shi Jianru is determined, no, he wants to enter the old city three times, and he will never stop until he blows up the governor's office.

But this time, he had no chance. Before he got close to the governor's office, he was recognized by detective Guo Yaojie. Qing soldiers rushed to catch him, and found a prescription for explosives written in German on him.

On September [-], Shi Jianru, a man of lofty ideals, was beheaded.

After Shi Jianru died, Chen Shaobai made an inscription for him, saying:

Ambitious,

The monument is three feet cold.

After death man,

Erying Er house.

The people of the country want to recover,

The philosopher does not return.

the sorrow of my people,
Alien expectations.

Jade already contains the mountain,

Shipwreck is water.

Jian Jian this bow,

Yoyo knows already.

The sky is blue and the earth is yellow,
Spring dew and autumn frost.

The barbarians are still alive,
How to comfort my country!
Grieved by Shi Jianru's death, Chen Shaobai vowed to make the Qing court pay the price.

(14) The Russians ambushed Li Hongzhang

The Hui Party launched an attack in the south, while in the north, the Empress Dowager Cixi fled, the armies of various countries huddled in Beijing and made noise, and the corpses of the people lay on the road.

Foreigners commented:
This trip of the great scholar is not only about safety, but also about survival, turning the world around, doing things differently, reluctance, and high hopes.

Li Hongzhang set off.

Take the road to Tianjin.

The Eight-Nation Allied Forces in Beijing suddenly became the Seven-Nation Allied Forces.

The Russians withdrew, all to Tianjin, preparing to ambush Li Hongzhang.

As soon as Li Hongzhang arrived, all the Russians swarmed up, stuffed them into the sedan chair, and sent them to a comfortable big house. The Russian Minister Gerth greeted him backwards: "Looking for friends, the geese are frying noodles."

Li Hongzhang cursed: I, Li Hongzhang, lived to be more than 70 years old, but I was blind when I was old. I regarded you Russians as friends, but you took advantage of the fire to rob...

Gerth reasoned: Bush is a lady, the geese are here to help Ni.

Angrily, Li Hongzhang pointed his crutches at Gerth's nose: Attack my capital, kill my people, occupy my rivers and mountains, burn my house, you call me to help me?
Gerth hastily expressed his position: To make friends, the mud monster believes in geese, and the goose will tell you all about the bottom line of the negotiations between the diggers and the others, as long as the mud can sincerely maintain the etiquette of the geese and the people of the country...

Hmph, let's talk about this later.Li Hongzhang sneered, and then, surrounded by Russian soldiers, went to Beijing to negotiate with the Eight-Power Allied Forces. When he arrived at the place, Li Hongzhang sat down and pointed to Gerth and said, "Gerth has already told me all about the bottom line of your negotiations." Now, what's the point of asking me for more prices here?Do you fucking think I, Li Hongzhang, am a fool?

The Allied Forces of the Seven Nations were furious, they grabbed Gerth and beat him: Spicy next door, you can't be too shameless...

Li Hongzhang let out a bad breath.

But this kind of diplomacy under guns is no longer possible to win, and the only thing in contention is how much money to pay to the eight countries.

The great powers put aside Li Hongzhang and discussed behind closed doors: The Chinese must remember this lesson. More than 30 young and strong men know how to kill women and children with big knives without reading or thinking. These people read this book and think about it. If you think about the problem, you can die... Just let everyone in this country pay one or two taels of silver. I hope this will help improve the IQ of this nation...

Le claims 5000 million yuan.

Betrayal!

Li Hongzhang was so angry that he vomited blood and fell on the bed.

Gerth squatted beside the bed and clung to him: Find friends, sign quickly, and give the three northeastern provinces to the geese, the goose people, and the horse-riding demon is better than the Japanese...

Hearing what the Russian envoy said, Li Hongzhang was so angry that he didn't come out and died.

When the news of Li Hongzhang's death came out, the whole country of the Qing Dynasty was shocked. When they received this bad news, they felt that the flowers in front of them were suddenly dimmed. The eunuchs and guards all looked at each other in astonishment, like girders and pillars collapsed and suddenly lost their support. At such a moment, only Yu knew the importance of the elders and important officials to the country.

The pillars of the Qing Dynasty were broken, and the weight of the entire empire fell on the shoulders of the hapless Yuan Shikai with a snap.

(15) Eat the leader without spitting out the bones
The change of the Gengzi state and Cixi's flight to the west once again amazed people at the old lady's extraordinary scheming.

First of all, the old lady fled in the right direction. Hundreds of thousands of Boxers captured more than a dozen Holy Mothers including the Holy Mother of Huang Lian, as well as many senior brothers of the Boxers, and sold them to foreigners, earning a lot of money.If they caught the Empress Dowager Cixi, they would definitely sell it at a high price.

But Cixi has the ability to make you unable to catch her.

The old lady twisted her little feet and ran like flying. The foreign devils from the Eight Kingdoms chased after her desperately, but they couldn't catch up with her.

His life was saved, but food and daily life became a big problem.

The old lady fled to Shaanxi in one breath, only gruel to drink, and she was not full.

When he was depressed, Rong Lu came to report: Queen Mother, we have received a remittance.

Remittance... Empress Dowager Cixi was a little dizzy: where is this going, and remittance...how much?

Ronglu: 30 taels of silver!
The old lady jumped up with a thud: Who is it that misses us so much...

Rong Lu: Besides the Seven Gentlemen, who else?

The old lady rolled her eyes a lot: it turned out to be Yuan Shikai.

Why did Yuan Shikai get the nickname Seven Gentlemen?
This is because, after the Hundred Days Restoration, Kang Youwei failed to slaughter the Empress Dowager Cixi, and all the military planes were dragged from Tan Sitong to Caishikou for beheading. Among the beheaded heads was Yuan Shikai's toad head, but Rong Lu did not. He stopped at the door and said: Yuan Shikai is mine!
So Yuan Shikai's head was not chopped off.
