Beijing, Jurentang, Zhongnanhai.

In the study of President Li Yuanhong, several people were sitting down without saying a word, and their faces were not very good-looking. Today, Li Yuanhong was not in the mood to take care of the few official duties, but just guarded his study with a few staff members, waiting for the phone on the desk to hear Zhang Xun and Zhang Dashen from the telephone. Just over an hour ago, Li Shu, who accompanied Zhang Xun to listen to the opera at the Jiangxi Guild Hall, called and reported that someone had come from the palace and invited Zhang Xun into the Forbidden City!

The room was silent, and only Li Yuanhong's heavy and rapid breathing sound was heard.

At the end, President Li slapped the mahogany desk with a slap on the mahogany desk, his big face filled with sadness, and he sighed deeply: "I, the President of the Republic of China, don't invite him. The young emperor of the Qing Dynasty in the palace sent an eunuch to pass on an order, but Zhang Shaoxuan ran away without saying a word... Is it the Republic of China or the Qing Dynasty now?"

Listening to the president's helpless tone, Jiang Zuobin, Jin Yongyan, Ha Hanzhang and others felt a slump in their hearts and sighed. They also knew that Li Yuanhong had no soldiers in his hands. This president was a bear, but isn't the bear president also the president? He is the head of state of the Republic of China. Whether the warlords of all walks of life in the country support or not, they always admit it! Even the great powers recognize Li Yuanhong's status. Why doesn't Zhang Xun give him any face?

Could it be that he is really going to take the blame for the world and launch a coup in Beijing to restore the Qing Dynasty? Even if he ignores the Republic of China, would he even ignore the Beiyang tradition? Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang have no intention of supporting the restoration!

Of course, they don’t seem to support President Li Yuanhong. Look at this, do those two want Zhang Xun and Li Yuanhong to fight for both sides in Beijing and then go to Beijing to clean up the situation?

Jin Yongyan took a deep breath, leaned forward, lowered his voice and said, "President, it seems that he is going to make the worst plan!"

When Li Yuanhong heard this, he looked up at him in surprise: "Xiaofeng! What do you mean?"

Jin Yongyan sighed: "President. It seems that we have been fooled by Zhang Xun! This guy entered Beijing not to mediate, but to launch a coup to restore the Qing Dynasty! We cannot sit still and wait for death, we must prepare for a backup plan in time..."

"Xiaofeng! Things have not reached that point, right? Zhang Xun missed his former master, which is well known to everyone. He would attack and worship him whenever he came to Beijing." Jiang Zuobin shook his head and said slowly.

Jin Yongyan's face was almost as clear as he said coldly: "I hope things have not reached that point, but we can't make all the plans... We don't have soldiers in our hands!"

Li Yuanhong had a gloomy face. He also knew that the current situation was a bit strange. But a president of the Republic of China could not escape from the Presidential Palace in Zhongnanhai because of some "rumors" that caught the storm, right? It was too embarrassing to spread this! He looked up at Jin Yongyan. Jin Yongyan said jokingly: "Zhang Xun only brought 8,000 braided soldiers, but there were two divisions in Beiyang around Beijing, soldiers from the infantry yamen in the city, and a regiment from Chang Ruiqing in Fengtai County... There were only 30,000 people in a row! As long as these troops clearly expressed their opposition to the restoration, Zhang Xun would not dare to do anything randomly! President, now that Zhang Xun has entered the palace, we might as well invite Wang Pinqing (Wang Shizhen), Li Jincai, Chen Guangyuan, Jiang Chaozong and others to the presidential palace to tell them the righteousness, and I believe they also know the importance of it."

Li Yuanhong nodded and agreed to Jin Yongyan's suggestion, but did not say anything. Except for Wang Shizhen's attitude, Jiang Chaozong was a fence-bearer, and the other two were Duan Qirui's men and Feng Guozhang's subordinates! The two of them brought 25,000 Beiyang soldiers, and were well-equipped "new-style army", which was much better than Zhang Xun's "Patrol Battalion"! But now they all acted like "Only the coach Xuan's fate is to follow", and they were all at the Jiangxi Guild Hall to listen to the opera. This matter seems a bit strange no matter how strange it looks...

...

An exquisitely made Western carriage rolled through the street outside Zhengyang Gate in Beijing. It turned to the inconspicuous gate of the courtyard in Roushi Hutong and stopped.

There were a few idle men wearing old cotton jackets and sleeves standing lazily at the door of the house. When they saw the carriage coming in, they jumped up and dispersed, looking around with vigilance. At the same time, they did not forget to nod and greet the coachman on the Western carriage. The coachman was dressed by Chang Ruiqing's guard Hu Rolling Coil. I don't know when the big carriage pulled by his mule was replaced with a beautiful Western carriage?

As soon as the door of the Western carriage opened, the one who walked out from it was Wu Shi, the deputy commander of the Model Group. He is now wearing a dress, wearing a top hat, and a fake beard like a toothbrush sticking under his nose, looking like a clerk of the Japanese Embassy.

At this time, the door of the yard creaked open, and from inside was a short and concise young man wearing a silk robe, a melon-skinned hat, and a businessman, but his whole body showed a strong military temperament. He was the platoon leader of the Model Regiment Guard Company, who graduated from the third term of Baoding and was named Liu Peng.

Liu Peng glanced around and found nothing unusual. He walked to Wu Shi and whispered: "Deputy Commander, are you going to take action?"

Wu Shi looked at the nervous old classmate and nodded heavily: "Yes! The order has been down! Let's talk inside." Then he said that and walked in first.

The yard is also full of people, dressed as gangsters or small vendors, and the waists are full of bulging, and it seems that they are all holding guys! When these people saw Wu Shi walking in, they all stood at attention, as if they were still in the military camp... The temperament of these people's ranks are a little stronger than the "fake eunuchs" in the Red Brigade.

Wu Shi nodded slightly at them and entered the main hall with Liu Peng. After entering the room, Liu Peng closed the door and then spread the exact map of Zhengyangmen Street in Beijing drawn with a pencil on the table.

"Zhang Xun's seventeen camps are stationed in the Temple of Heaven, Xiannongtan. If you want to enter the inner city of Beijing, you will definitely go to Zhengyangmen, so the best ambush is Zhengyangmen Outside Street." Liu Peng poked the map with his finger, and a building on the east side of Zhengyangmen Outside Street said: "This is Zhengyang Building. The Ministry of Justice has already booked three private rooms there, facing Qianmen Street. At that time, he will disassemble a water machine gun and take it on it, put it in the private room and lean against the window of Qianmen Street. When Zhang Xun's braided soldiers hit the downstairs, they will shoot! Kill his mother!"

"Can the machine gun be transported? Are you sure?" Wu Shi's face was heavy, as if he was a little worried.

"No problem!" Liu Peng waved his hand with confidence and grinned: "I have already agreed with the shopkeeper of Zhengyang Tower that there are several boxes of antiques and treasures to be delivered at the banquet... There are such things in Zhengyang Tower every day, and people don't doubt it at all."

Wu Shi nodded and said, "Have the ** bag been shipped?"

"It has arrived, there are twelve in total. Except for one that needs to explode at the entrance of Dongjiaomin Lane, the rest are all used on Zhengyangmen Street!"

Wu Shi was silent for a moment: "Zhang Xun has an artillery battalion, which poses the greatest threat to us. At that time, we will try to take the artillery battalion in one fell swoop!"

"The Ministry of Justice understands, just wait for the artillery battalion to pass!"

"Where is the retreat route? Are you ready?"

"It's ready! There are commercial areas outside Zhengyang Gate. The outer city walls have been demolished and you can escape everywhere... The brothers who participated in the operation have sent 20 yuan acres and train tickets each. At that time, they can escape separately. If the train station is not blocked, they will take the train to Tianjin for temporary escape. The Ministry of Judicial Affairs estimates that most of the brothers can evacuate safely."
