5. Zhang Xun's Restoration(2/2)
Jiang Chaozong was an impatient person and had no idea about republican democracy, so he accepted it immediately; Wang Shizhen had feelings for the previous dynasty, so it was natural that he had nothing to do; as for Wu Bingxiang and others, they were good men anyway and would not suffer the immediate disadvantages, since Marshal Zhang said that they would
If you do it once, then just follow the crowd.
That night, Zhang Xun ordered Wang Shizhen and Wu Bingxiang to put the braided army into the city. When the morning rooster crowed and the sky was getting brighter, Marshal Zhang treated everyone to a feast, then asked everyone present to change into the robes of the previous dynasty, and he opened the
The box I carried with me on the train: it turned out to be a brand new official uniform of the Qing Dynasty!
At this time, the commander of Zhang Xun's men came over and reported that the braided army had occupied the key points inside and outside the city, and everything was well arranged. After hearing this, Zhang Xun jumped up and said loudly: "Okay, I will enter the palace now and ask Emperor Xuantong to restore his power."
That’s it!”
Under the protection of the braided army, Zhang Xun and his party came to the Qing Palace. Since there was no negotiation before, the people in the Qing Palace were frightened by these people and ran away. Those inside went to report to Concubine Jin and Concubine Yu, while those outside hurriedly reported
Shixu, the Taibao of the Qing Dynasty. When the two concubines and Shixu arrived and asked why they came, Zhang Xun said: "Today is the restoration, please come to the palace, young master."
After Shixu heard this, he was so frightened that he almost fell off his chair. He asked in a trembling voice: "Whose idea is this?"
Zhang Xun took a step forward and said with a ferocious smile: "I, Old Zhang, make the decision, what are you afraid of?"
After hearing this, Shixu kowtowed and bleeds, shouting that he must not do it. Seeing Shixu like this, the two concubines were very frightened and said, "General, if this doesn't work, wouldn't it harm my entire family?"
Zhang Xun was annoyed when he heard this and said: "I have an old minister here, so don't worry!"
Shixu was still kowtowing in opposition. Zhang Xun couldn't bear it and said sternly: "Do you want restoration or not?!"
The braided troops on the side also made a noise and invited the emperor to ascend the throne. Seeing that such a reckless man was acting recklessly, Shi Xu could not follow his words, something else might happen, so he and the two concubines went into the palace to invite the young emperor Xuantong. .
Hence the above scene.
Subsequently, Zhang Xun sent a telegram to the whole country, announcing the restoration of the Qing Dynasty. In the telegram, Zhang Xun criticized all the chaos in the early years of the Republic of China, saying, "It is called the Republic of China, but it is not known that there are people; it is called the people, but it is not known that there is a country. To this day, the people are If the wealth is exhausted, the country's foundation will inevitably be shaken." If the reason is investigated, it is due to the implementation of a republic because of the "bad national structure."
The Qing Dynasty was restored, and the whole country was in an uproar.
