Chapter 126 The world is shaken
Chapter 126 The world is shocked by it
At around 8 a.m., Zhili officials in Tianjin all bowed their heads and walked towards the Governor's Office.
Deep Inui Shingo greeted him with a smile on his face at the door.
"Hey, Lord Zhang, you are here too. How about it? After the work is over, let's find another place to drink it?"
"This is not Lord Jin. The Yicui Tower I went to last time is good. I heard that there was another top brand last night."
...
The officials smiled at this individuality, Shigo, who was greeting people with a smile, hurriedly replied to the gift, and did not dare to say anything more.
Some time ago, I met them as brothers and brothers, pretending to be a filial son to serve them, and they gave them money and were desperate for life, but they didn't treat them as dishes, and occasionally made a few jokes.
Now, the feng shui has changed, and this year I went to Jianren's family.
Deepin Shige hummed happily: I took my one and sent it back, ate it and vomited it out...
Soon, officials from all over the world gathered together in Tianjin, all looking at the Governor's Mansion, which had just experienced the war.
Xu Shichang and Dong Fuxiang were half-closing their eyes to rest. Seeing that he had basically controlled the new army, Ye Zhikui released some of the former officers, such as Xu Shichang.
"The Admiral and the Lord of the Central Hall are here!"
Everyone stood up one after another!
"Hello Li Zhongtang!"
"Hello General Ye!"
A discordant voice - "Long live the Empress Dowager Cixi!", others rushed up and beat him to death with sticks, and then dragged him out to feed the dog.
Ye Zhikui smiled and said to Li Hongzhang: "Please sit in the middle hall!"
Li Hongzhang did not refuse. The two had already agreed that Ye Zhikui was in charge of fighting on the front line and killing the enemy; Li Hongzhang was in charge of dispatching behind and civil affairs.
After everyone sat down, they looked at Li Hongzhang and waited for him to speak.
Li Hongzhang coughed and said without any rush: "You guys, if your name is not correct, your words will not be smooth. Now I will raise an army to protect the emperor and conquer the palace. I need to have a great reputation. Congyun, take out the secret edict, the proclamation for rebellion and the letter of persuasion to withdraw!"
After a soldier was sent to him, Li Hongzhang and others saw it, he said: "Everyone is loyal. This time I hope to follow me, Li Hongzhang and Congyun to fight against the rebels, and sign the name on the letter of persuading the withdrawal."
There are real guns and real ammunition at the door, and there is Li Hongzhang's mouth spitting lotus inside.
Who doesn’t know the truth, and who dares not sign?
Ye Zhikui collected the letter of persuasion and then said: "This time I went to Beijing to serve the king, all the troops and horses need to be dispatched in a unified manner, so as to achieve complete success. I plan to form a command center for the rebellion and select a respected person to command."
Xu Shichang and Dong Fuxiang looked at each other meaningfully, while the rest of the people were not concerned about their own affairs.
Wang Shizhen said, "Master Ye, you are responsible for the emperor's heavy responsibility and are the ones that everyone wants. I hope you will not refuse."
Wen Baishan, Shigo, Jiang Zikang and others, even some generals in the newly established army shouted loudly: "Master Ye! Please don't refuse!"
Ye Zhikui glanced at Dong Fuxiang and Xu Shichang. They had no choice but to stand up and said, "General Ye, we are willing to regard you as the commander!"
Ye Zhikui nodded with satisfaction, inspected for a week and said, "In this way, I, Ye, are no longer pretentious, and have served as the position of Grand Marshal to seek rebellion. Now everyone is a grasshopper on the same rope. I hope someone is not too stupid and tries to challenge my patience. If you have money, everyone will make a contribution. If you have me, Ye, you will not disappoint you.
After Ye Zhikui finished speaking, he retreated to his original seat and stopped talking.
Everyone was choked by Ye Zhikui's blunt words and couldn't speak.
Li Hongzhang smiled slightly and said, "The reason why I dared to take on this important task is because I believe in Wuyi's army, Congyun, everyone, and the emperor. The capital has been going smoothly from Tianjin. Several generals are strong and strong. Why not worry about major issues? It is no problem to get promoted or make money at that time. Therefore, now everyone should do more efforts, otherwise others will be promoted by then, and you have not yet made any movement, so don't ask me why."
"Zhongtang, we are willing to follow us!"
"Let the Zhongtang and Marshal Ye send you!"
Seeing this, Li Hongzhang shouted and concluded: "Okay, after everyone goes down, they will continue to perform their own duties, so that the entire Zhili region will be excited about this anti-war."
Everyone responded with a loud bang. When Ye Zhikui saw that Li Hongzhang had come forward, the resistance was indeed much smaller.
Although he was a little worried that Li Hongzhang had too great prestige, he thought instead that he was all in his seventies and eighties, and half of his body had been buried in the soil. Ye Zhikui felt relieved and turned his mind to how to defeat the enemy. The army was about to be dispatched.
Tang Youcai, editor-in-chief of Shanghai Asia Times newspaper, held the telegram and his whole body trembled, unable to stop the turbulent waves in his heart. He immediately ordered someone to call editor-in-chief Shen Xu.
As soon as Shen Xu entered the door, Tang Youcai hugged him, holding a telegram in his hand, so excited that he couldn't speak.
Shen Xu pushed Tang Youcai and said embarrassedly: "Editor-in-chief, I'm not good at this!"
"Yuxi, look at this!" Tang Youcai finally said a complete sentence.
"This is!"
Shen Xu took it and saw that the reaction was even worse than Tang Youcai. He first hit the wall a few times, then jumped up, hugged Tang Youcai, and kept asking, "Is this true?"
"It's true!"
"Please see who is in the world today! It's so powerful and so exciting, Wu Yi's army is mighty! Editor-in-chief, the newspaper has been printed this morning, so we will quickly add a publication and spread the news immediately."
"Let's go together!"
Tang Youcai and Shen Xu went to the printing factory in person, and the entire newspaper only published: the emperor's secret edict, the proclamation of Yehenara's family, and the letter of refusal to withdraw, these three articles.
Starting from noon, newspaper boys in the streets and alleys of Shanghai began to sell the Asian Times.
"Shocking! Wu Yi's army invaded the capital!"
"The world is shocked, and the blessing of the country will raise an army to the capital to save the emperor and depose Cixi!"
"It's amazing, Zhili Governor Rong Lu died last night by the Wu Yi Army."
"Li Hongzhang announced the establishment of a large army to fight against rebellions, and Ye Zhikui was appointed as the Grand Marshal of the Antirevolutionary Rebellion!"
"Come on, Ye Zhikui is going to kill Lord Lafayette!"
Passers-by originally thought that there was fake news from where or the newspaper boy was making a big fuss. Two groups of ants fought in the newspaper, and the newspaper boy could be called into hundreds of thousands of troops to fight.
But the situation will be different in a while. Someone who bought a newspaper shouted after reading it.
"What's wrong?" someone asked quickly.
"Really, really, it's amazing. The world is going to be in chaos again. Go home and get a plane."
A man picked up the newspaper without caring about it, shouted and ran home.
A person asked quickly: "You are going home to masturbate? Also, tell me what is masturbation?"
The man blushed and replied, "No, I'm going to rush back to the cottage, I can't hold it anymore."
A beggar half lying on the side said, "I actually told the one who was just now. It means pistol, as the saying goes..."
Before the beggar could finish his sentence, others stopped him and said, "Okay, stop talking nonsense anymore. It seems that you are really pitiful, I will reward you with a hundred copper coins."
The beggar quickly stood up and bowed to thank him and said, "Thank you, this hero, my name is Chong Chongshuai. May I ask the hero's benefactor Gao's name."
No one looked back, and a crisp voice came back and said, "No need to thank you, Xia Fei's cheeks are my name. In fact, I am a woman."
The beggar quickly packed his luggage and prepared to go north to find Ye Zhikui. They are both time travelers, why am I so poorly doing so? Ye Zhikui, if you don’t support me, I will expose your true identity.
A two carriage ran past and hit Chong Chongshuai with a bang.
Kang Youwei stretched out his head and said, "The person who drove the car seemed to have hit someone."
The face of the chauffeur was not changing color and replied: "It's okay, it's just a little beggar. There are so many such beggars in Shanghai!"
Kang Youwei held the newspaper and looked at the news on it. He really had no intention of caring about such small things, so he had to continue urging: "Hurry up, go to the Asia Times."
Zhun Chongshuai died before he could succeed. Before he died, he half-opened his eyes and murmured: "Retribution, in fact, I shouldn't speak yellow with a woman. I hope I can travel through time again and will never beg for food or speak yellow again in the future. Instead, I will write down Ye Zhikui's deeds for everyone to appreciate."
Almost in the same day, newspapers across the country seemed to be crazy, reporting on the incident of Wu Yi's army entering Beijing to serve the king.
Some literati were even more crazy than newspapers, and wrote letters to the provincial governors, some shouting loudly that the proclamation was well written, and some demanded to send troops, some criticized Ye Zhikui for causing trouble in the court, and demanded to suppress the rebellion.
All parts of the country were starting to boil, and consulates from various countries frequently exchanged telegrams, all watching the subsequent development of this old empire.
The governors of various provinces actually learned the news better than the newspapers, because Ye Zhikui first sent a telegram to the governors of various provinces, calling on everyone to go to Beijing to serve the king, and then revealed the news to the newspapers.
The actions of Ye Zhikui and others caused a thousand waves in one stone, and they really shocked the world and changed their colors.
Shandong Governor Nie Shicheng and Jiangsu Governor Ye Zhichao sent a telegram to the whole country on the same day to join the army to fight against rebellion, expressing support for Ye Zhikui's campaign to defend the king and willing to respect Ye Zhikui as the Grand Marshal of the rebellion.
Then, as if the Donomian domino effect occurred, Hunan Governor Chen Baozhen sent a telegram across the country and expressed his support for Ye Zhikui, because Chen Baozhen and his son truly supported the implementation of the Hunan New Policy and had achieved certain results, so he was unwilling to end the new policy.
Soon, Hubei Governor Tan Xuxun sent a telegram to express his support because Tan Sitong was his son.
Immediately afterwards, the governor of Huguang, Zhang Zhidong, may have been influenced by the governors of Hunan and Hubei, or may have been inspired by Ye Zhikui and others, or may have been because Yang Rui, one of the Six Gentlemen of the Reformation of 1898, was his favorite disciple. He also called the whole country on the same day to express his support for Li Hongzhang and others.
There are many governors and governors of other provinces, and of course there are also those who explicitly oppose it. However, these people, whether they support, oppose or are neutral, are only verbally speaking. I don’t know when the real soldiers will be prepared.
Cixi from the Forbidden City received the news that this time she was really anxious. She first dropped all Nanyuan into the capital, and then repeatedly urged Song Qingyi's army from Shanhaiguan to enter the city and resisted the Wuyi army. While sending telegrams to various provinces, demanding that local governments raise funds and mobilize troops to overcome the difficulties together, unfortunately, there were very few clear responders.
