"Move quickly! Keep up!" Bai Chi, deputy company commander of the 1st Battalion of the 6th Regiment of the 1st Brigade of the 1st Division, was fully armed, commanding the platoon he led to move forward along the ditch in the night. He was covered in a coat. Shanghai-made Han-style rifle, 150 bullets, bayonets, and a grenade bag at his waist, which was stuffed with four Minyuan-style grenades that were only issued. The Qing army badge on his chest was shining brightly. The soldiers were all running as he was like him, but the arms on his body were neatly worn, and the light of seeking war flashed in his eyes.

He ran out of heat, grabbed the military cap in his hand, looked around, and stopped. Two soldiers rushed up from behind with a peasant-like guide. The guide gasped and said, "Master, there are more than half a mile in front of you to Shuangjianji. There are about three or four hundred soldiers in Henan. After passing Shuangjianji, you will reach Mengcheng."

Bai Chi smiled at the guide with a kind smile and asked the soldiers again: "Are we even following other troops?"

A squad leader replied: "It's too dark, they are afraid they didn't follow me. Deputy Company Commander, you run too fast." Bai Chi hesitated for a moment and looked forward. A small tune from Henan came faintly in silence. An Wujun was afraid that he was still in the big market town of Shuangjianji. He ran over overnight and had been in the dark for more than fifty miles. Now it was the time to be full of energy.

The squad leader asked him tentatively: "Why should we wait? Wait until the brigade comes up?" Bai Chi estimated in his heart that it was the darkness before dawn. When the brigade comes up, it would probably be dawn. He was a young officer from the teaching group. He was just not afraid of heaven or earth. He gritted his teeth and said to the squad leader: "Go and send orders to the whole platoon, everyone is here to lightly install! All guns are bayonets, and we must rush in first! Let's also attack Mengcheng line up!"

The soldiers were experiencing lightweight clothes there. Bai Chi took out a two-dollar ticket from his pocket and handed it to the guide and smiled: "Brother, our brigade is still behind, so I have the only money on me. Take it first and come back to find me. Thank you for your hard work all night, I really sorry for you."

The guide just shook his head: "We don't want money! Those Ni family troops have caused trouble to our Anhui people! How many people have Fengtai killed? Everyone said that the soldiers from Xuzhou are good. General Yu does not accept the money and food from the people...... I don't have to pay the money and food after being sold here?"

Bai Chi felt a hot heart. The soldiers listened to the people praising their army as they were good. Is there anything more satisfying to the young people than this? He nodded heavily and watched the soldiers surrounding him. He said low and powerfully: "Everyone has come here and knows what Commander Yu wants us and what the people expect from us! We are the righteous men who punish the people! I won't say much. Today, Shuangjian gathers, everyone will know the bayonets!"

He pointed to the platoon leader: "We each lead two squads and touch them in two directions. No guns are allowed. Just use bayonets and grenades to knock out all the turtles of Anwu Army! Avenge the revolutionary comrades of the Huai Shang Army who were massacred in Fengtai! Let's set off!"

The Anwu Army in Shuangjianji gathered only one battalion, and there were only about 300 people who had vacancies. These days, military operations in the north and south gradually stopped. The Huai Shang Army was beaten away by them. The Ni brothers were very indulging in these troops. Can these soldiers from Lao Yi Army be too harassed the people?

Shuangjianji was stationed by this battalion for more than a month, and it was a big trouble. These guys didn't sleep at night and didn't get up during the day. They hugged the girl and turned on the lights and gambling at night, and they slept soundly during the day. In terms of combat effectiveness, they were not as good as Zhang Xun's Jiang Fangjun. When Bai Chi's marching into Shuangjianji, these guys fell asleep hazy. Not even a few whistles were put on. The soldiers of the First Division all exerted their ruthlessness, stabbed them with bayonets when they touched people. Later, they alarmed the Anwu army and blocked the door of their barracks and threw grenades inside, which made them furious.

If we were fighting with rifles alone, these Anwu army would probably have some courage to resist. This time, this was the first time that modern infantry attacks used grenades to be put into the Chinese battlefield. One was thrown over. Forty-eight prefabricated fragments were blown up thin and wide. The entire Shuangjian gathered with explosions and firelights. How could these Anwu army still hold on!

When it was dawn, the troops that followed came up, they saw Bai Chi was already there to contain prisoners. An Wujun, wearing a blue coat, squatted into a pile of people on the ground. The people in Shuangjianji spit out there and threw stones. The unique iron sheet firearms of An Wujun at that time were piled up like firewood piles. Shuangjianji were full of traces of explosions. Several staff members of the Ordnance Office who followed the first echelon immediately began to investigate the power of Minyuan grenades everywhere. They recorded them in detail as reference for improvement.

The company commander who followed him didn't believe it. The battalion was then dealt with by his own platoon's night attack. Bai Chi also reported to his company commander with pride: "One battalion of Anwu Army was beaten to death by us, and more than 80 prisoners were captured. Only thirty or forty people escaped at night. According to the prisoners' confession, the Anwu Army in Mengcheng was only two and a half battalions. The company commander asked the superiors for instructions and let our company fight vanguards. What else should we do with three regiments in this kind of a scourge? One battalion can clean them up... Company commander, this Minyuan grenade is really good, are there many? All the allocated ones were finished last night, hehe."

The company commander naturally ignored his crazy words and rushed to report to his superiors, but he was as proud as he spoke.

"My company rushed into Shuangjianji in the early morning of February 10, and defeated the extremely weak resistance of the Anwu Army battalion in front of us. The gateway of Mengcheng has been opened for our company. Seventy-nine enemies were killed and nine more enemies were captured, and two hundred and twenty-one enemies were captured. The Anwu Army cannot be attacked by our army."

When Ni Sichong's telegram for help was sent to Beijing, Yuan Shikai was really angry. He ignored his own silence and waited for the Qing Dynasty to abdicate and then planned to follow the steps below. He was about to launch a strike against Yuchen.

On the morning of February 10, he issued several orders in succession. The first order was to recall Jiang Baili's staff team, the second order was to advance from the ceasefire line. The third order was that Jiang Guite's unit of Henan Yi Army immediately entered Anhui to reinforce Ni Sichong'anwu Army. The fourth order was to draw a joint reinforcement detachment from the Fourth Town stationed in Henan to form a strengthening detachment to reinforce Jinpu Road! He was not relieved after sending these orders, so he personally drafted a detachment order to be issued.

He was really angry and compromised himself, in order to stabilize the situation in the north first. He would rather not fight Yuchen on the Jinpu Road. He also sent his confidant adviser Yang Du to negotiate and gave him a staff team. He originally expected that he could play a role in the south, but he did not expect that he would attack his north and west first!

Hearing Yuan Shikai's successive orders, Yang Shiqi and Yang Du two strategists ran to find Yuan Shikai, both of whom looked furious. Seeing Yuan Shikai writing orders with a righteous in his study, Yang Shiqi grabbed Yuan Shikai's wrist: "Gong Bao, don't!"

Yuan Shikai's hand shook, and the ink dripped on the manuscript paper, and it suddenly became a ball. He fell down and started to get angry: "What's going on? Zhongshu didn't draft a manuscript for me, I'll do it myself, you're like this again! And Xizi went to Xuzhou and gave it to others for free and money for free. As a result, the boy breathed and bite us! According to my opinion, since he would tear him up sooner or later, it would be better to fight clean now!"

He sat down in anger and gasped beside the small kang table. Yang Shiqi and Yang Du looked at each other. They all knew that this benefactor felt that such a scheming person was actually tricked by Yuchen, a young man who had just emerged from the cottage. He could not get any face. He was under great pressure now. He had to let the Qing Dynasty step down with a decent step, and he had never stopped bargaining with the Provisional Government of the South. Manchuria and Mongolia were ready to move, and they had to take care of him. In addition, the salary raised by hundreds of thousands of troops in the north was all pressing on him. He was so nervous that he was really overwhelmed.

Yang Du sneered. He always looked unscrupulous in front of Yuan Shikai.

"Kang Bao, what's the point of being anxious about these things? We won Yuchen back then, but we didn't know that this person would be our biggest concern in the future. It's just that he has the strength, and we need to stabilize him for the sake of our own foundation. These expected things happened. Gong Bao still looked unacceptable, and the students really felt that it was unnecessary."

Yang Shiqi also advised him with great sincerity: "Gong Bao, if you can't bear it, you will be a big plan! Yuchen is just a tinea attack. We still have to settle the basic situation in the north now! Once your attack order is issued, the army will be mobilized everywhere. Let's not talk about where the money comes from. Even if the situation is affected, Beijing is empty, so anything is possible! Let's bear it again, and when the superiors abdicate, the affairs in the south will be settled. Let's talk crazy. No matter how elite Yuchen's 40,000 troops are, they will not be our opponent!"

He looked at Yuan Shikai touching his light forehead, and his expression calmed down a little. He wanted to persuade him a few more words, but he couldn't speak for a while. He was weak, ran away anxiously, and was nervous, and now he was a little dizzy. Yang Du helped him, and Yuan Shikai quickly called the servants to come over.

Seeing that Yuan Shikai was still a little embarrassed, Yang Du smiled at him, "Gong Bao, Brother Xingcun is so anxious about you, so you should understand him a little. Big people must be generous when doing their careers. I am also very interested in this person. He has a moral initiative every step. If we rush to deal with him rashly, we will unite the potential forces. When Gong Bao becomes the president, we will have the reputation of the central government. It will be so easy to deal with him when he is punished... This person has seized the opportunity to expand the territory when we are afraid of the enemy... Gong Bao, I will not advise you to take action now. In the future, I am afraid that Brother Xingcun and I will be the first to help you plan how to use troops to him as soon as possible."

Hearing Yang Du's words, Yuan Shikai finally shook his head and smiled bitterly. He calmed down completely. He glanced at the half-written slaughter order and kneaded it into a ball: "That Yuchen is amazing! At my age, it seems that I can't fight him to the end. I will have to work harder in the future...... I will send my words later, and the previous orders will be cancelled."

Yang Shiqi took a few sips of ginseng tea before he recovered a little. Seeing Yuan Shikai listening to the words of the two of their advisers, he also smiled and said, "It's not necessary to cancel the previous order. We just need to do thunder and rain. We always have to put some pressure on Yuchen and let him hold him as soon as possible." At this point, Yang Du also interfered: "Xingcun is right, you can't make Yuchen too proud! We can't take action to deal with him now... Gong Bao, have you forgotten Zhu Erdian? Now Yuchen's troops are holding the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, which is the sphere of influence of the British. Whether it is shipping rights or tariffs and salt taxes, the British can ask him to trouble him and have more opportunities to develop at this time. Why not discuss it with Minister Zhu?"

This sentence really woke up the dreamer. Yuan Shikai clapped his hands and smiled and said, "Xizi, you are really a first-class person in Zhuge Kongming! I am old, and my brain is not as fast as you...... I will ask Minister Zhuerdian to come over to discuss this afternoon!"

Yang Shiqi and the others achieved their goal. Seeing that Yuan Shikai was very tired, they stood up and wanted to say goodbye. The two of them were still unfinished to meet customers now. Yang Du suddenly remembered something and asked Yuan Shikai again before going out: "Gong Bao, although everything was arranged properly in the Qing Dynasty, you should be careful. Recently, the news on the street was very bad, and the bannerman might not be good for Gong Bao."

Yuan Shikai said, and said lightly: "There has been arranging this matter, and I know the bannerman too well. Big things can't be thrust, and small things will make you disgusted, so I'll endure it.

Yang Du thought about it and was not too worried about the bannerman's behavior. Xiaoxiao bowed out. Not long after he left, Yang Shiqi complained to Yang Du and said, "Xizi, I know you are extremely talented. But he cannot be used as a warning to Gong Bao in everything. We should advise big things, and other small things. With Gong Bao's experience of ups and downs in the officialdom for so many years, he doesn't know how to deal with it?"

He didn't say the following words, and now Yuan Shikai has to use them. Naturally, he is more generous with your arrogant attitude towards you. When the big thing is settled, Yang Du's personality can only be idle. However, he really can't say these words. I hope this young colleague can understand them by himself.

But Yang Du was very arrogant and thought that all the heroes in the world were counting. How could he take Yang Shiqi's cautious opinion to heart? He just smiled faintly.

At this time, the turmoil is turbulent. A great man, whether it is using his strength or his mind, is just when he takes things in a way rather than defensive way, why not show all his skills?

Although Yang Du could not look around at this time, he was indeed full of confidence.

Time soon passed in peace for two more days, and it was February 12, 1912. This day was the day when the Qing Dynasty officially announced its abdication. Whether in the south or in the north, whether it was Chinese citizens or foreign observers, they all understood that this was one of the most memorable days in China's three thousand years of history. Did China turn a new chapter from today on or continue to fall into a cycle of governance and chaos? There are all guesses. But history is majestic and silent without answering.

On the morning of that day, the Qing Dynasty's abdication edict was finally powered across the country.

"I respect the imperial edict of Empress Dowager Longyu: Because of the civilian army's uprising, the provinces responded, and the nine summers were boiling, and the lives of life were in trouble. Yuan Shikai specially ordered people to send people to discuss the overall situation with the civilian army representatives, discuss the opening of a parliament and referendum of the political system. In the past two months, there is no clear solution. The north and south are separated, and each other is pointed at each other, and the business stops on the way, and the soldiers are exposed in the wild, so the people's livelihood is unstable. Now the people's psychology is mostly inclined to republic, and the southern and central provinces have advocated the front; the generals of the north also advocate the future, and the destiny of the heavens can be seen. How can I bear to say goodbye to the honor of the surname and the people's likes and dislikes. Use it as a general trend of appearance, and internal review

Public opinion, the emperor specially led the emperor to rule the country as a republic constitutional system. He was disgusted with chaos and hope for governance in the country, and was a righteous act of the ancient sages. Yuan Shikai was elected as the Prime Minister by the Chief Minister of the State Council. When the new and old were transformed, he announced the unification of the north and the south, and that Yuan Shikai organized the republic government with all his powers to negotiate with the civilian army to unify the measures. In the general period, the people were safe and secure, and the five tribes of the Han, Manchuria, Mongolian, and Tibet were safe and stable. He still combined the complete territory of the five tribes of the Han, Manchuria, Mongolian, and Tibet into a great Republic of China. I was able to retreat and relax, travel for years, receive the favorable courtesy of the people, and personally saw the completion of the Zhizhu army. Isn't it a good idea? I respect this."

In this edict produced by Yuan Shikai, a special sentence was added, "That is, Yuan Shikai organized the republic government with all his powers." This was also an extra sentence that he was afraid that the south would break his promise and add to the slander. However, in any case, the Qing Dynasty officially abdicated. China's history has also opened a new chapter.

However, in this big historical trend, there are also some small undercurrents surging. These small undercurrents may not have affected the major trend of history at that time, but the impact they had was very far-reaching.

"The Queen Mother, at this time, the Ministers of various countries, the Southern Democratic Party governments, the governors of various provinces, and well-known gentry... all sent telegrams, saying that the Queen Mother was very wise and was spared from the country being trapped in the war. The Qing Dynasty's preferential treatment regulations were set out in the law, and it would surely protect Aisin Gioro and his family's wealth and honor......"

The person who read the telegram to Empress Dowager Longyu who was lying there shed tears was her favorite eunuch Xiao Dezhang. He was already a favourite person. He had money and face, but he had not been in the palace for a long time. Today, he knew that he was the last shift for this master. He came over and started his original mission again.

He was also a little sad when he read it, and wiped his tears and said, "Good master, don't be sad there. Lost this burden. In fact, that's also a matter of anger... Master, you are still enjoying your life. But I am afraid that I will not have the blessing to serve you again."

Longyu sat up, tears swelling so hard that he couldn't stop: "There is no banquet that will last forever, and such a big country can be handed over. The friendship between our master and servant is nothing... I just didn't give you a good ending. I feel sorry for you..."

She was so moved that Xiao Dezhang could no longer hold on and started crying loudly. While the two were crying lively, they heard footsteps outside the door of the Empress Dowager's bedroom. It seemed that several eunuchs wanted to stop him or not. Then they saw Pu Wei Ling piercing in with glorious head.

Seeing Xiao De Zhang grinning and howling, he slapped him in the face: "You are the one who harms the country!" The slap was really strong, and Xiao De Zhang turned around two circles, covered his face and fell down.

Longyu said angrily: "Second Pu, Prince Gong! What are you doing?"

Pu Wei pointed to Xiao Dezhang and scolded: "Empress Dowager, don't worry about me today. I must beat this bastard to death. This guy controlled the palace and sold official titles, but he also worshipped Cao Cao, Yuan Shikai. Who would say that he did not have any credit for this bastard? He dug out my Pu Laosi's eyes!"

Now Longyu didn't care about his identity, so he stood up and grabbed Pu Wei's hand, shouted to Xiao De Zhang, "He is the master, why don't you run away?" Xiao De Zhang really didn't dare to fight Pu Wei, so he got up and ran quickly. He then covered his face and cursed, "The capital of the country has been destroyed, so he still puts the posture of this prince for me... Let's see the future! If you don't avenge, I won't call Xiao De Zhang!"

But Pu Wei was not here for Xiao De Zhang. He just saw this annoying thing and was just a fire on his forehead. Seeing that Long Yu was still holding his sleeve, he hurriedly knelt down: "Empress Dowager, till the Queen Mother! The guards in front of my house have retreated. I can only go out to see the Queen Mother. Our Qing Dynasty may not have been destroyed for this edict!"

Longyu threw away his hand, and the thin middle-aged woman was really exhausted: "What other ministers are you from the Queen Mother? The Qing Dynasty is like this. You should call me the Son of God. We love the people of the Xinjueluo family, and we will talk about the clans in the future, not to mention the ministers, masters!"

Pu Wei took a few steps: "Empress Dowager, please stay safe. I have my own arrangements. My Qing Dynasty has been deeply grateful for my kindness for three hundred years. I believe I can still get rid of this river and mountain!"

He looked mysterious and said to Longyu: "Empress Dowager, there will be a big change tonight! I am here to protect you! I will always guarantee that I can make a comeback from the Aixin Jueluo family!"
Chapter completed!
