Cao Kun's troops have been pulled to the outskirts of Beijing. Since Liang Shiyi used the name of the Presidential Palace to cover up, this unreasonable transfer did not attract the attention of the Ministry of National Defense and the General Staff. Even the people below did not take it seriously at all. Duan Qi

Rui, Wang Shizhen and others knew nothing about this

After many days of preparation, Liang Shiyi and Yuan Keding discussed and decided to take action tomorrow. Cao Kun's first brigade and the Central Bank Guards would start taking action at the same time. Following orders from the Presidential Palace, they would change defenses with the guards and occupy the nine gates of the capital. Then the army

After entering the city, he took control of the Prime Minister's Office, the Ministry of National Defense, the General Staff, Congress, and other government departments. He used military dissent as a pretext to force various parties in Beijing to push Yuan Shikai to power.

"Yansun, I am so frightened, will this happen?"

Late at night, Yuan Keding and Liang Shiyi were making final preparations, discussing their respective arrangements for tomorrow. When they were almost finished, Yuan Keding asked with some worry.

"What's the point of talking about whether things will succeed or not? A man dares to act and his plans are determined by people and God. Does Yuntai still want to back down at this time?" Liang Shiyi's face darkened and he glanced at Yuan Keding with dissatisfaction.

The eldest son of the Yuan Dynasty is passionate about being the crown prince, but his courage is far inferior to that of his father. He actually said such a thing when things happened. He is simply a helpless man.

But after all, if major events are to be successful, it depends on Yuan Keding. Yuan Shikai's attitude after the incident is particularly critical. If Yuan Shikai refuses, no matter how capable Liang Shiyi is, it will be in vain. Only this ambitious and talented Yuan Dagong can persuade him.

Yuan Shikai, all he needs is that Yuan Keding can guarantee that Yuan Shikai will not object clearly. Once the big thing is accomplished, there will be no need to worry about anything.

Thinking of this, Liang Shiyi breathed a sigh of relief and said confidently: "Don't worry, prepare for many days, I guarantee there will be no problem. As long as the army enters the city, the mere guards and police in Beijing will not be able to overturn the situation by then."

We have all key government departments under control and everything is under control

, not to mention it won’t just be you and me. Have you forgotten those people who agreed to start the uprising these days? Yuntai, you just need to persuade the president and let the president stand by and watch the rest.

Yes, everything is with me, so you can rest assured and wait to be your prince."

Hearing the words "Prince", Yuan Keding's face turned red with excitement: "Okay, then Yansun, I'll leave it to you. When things are done, you will be the founding hero of the country."

After confirming the details of tomorrow, they broke up and Yuan Keding hurried back excitedly. As he walked, his mind was filled with the thought that he would become the real crown prince of the Republic of China after tomorrow's event. He was so happy that he couldn't help but smile.

Sitting in the carriage with his arms stretched out, he was humming a tune and beating the beat with his hands, looking very satisfied.

Seeing that it was not far from the house he bought, he waited until he got home and had a good sleep before meeting Liang Shiyi the next day. Who would have thought that while walking, the carriage suddenly stopped, and Yuan Keding sat in the car for a while.

Why did I feel it? I heard a few soft sounds outside.

"What's going on?"

"When I go back to the eldest son, the wheel of the car is stuck," someone outside replied. At the same time, the car swayed, as if something was being pulled on it.

"Trash can't even catch a car," Yuan Keding cursed, sitting in the car and continuing to hum, waiting for his men to finish and continue walking.

After a few minutes, the car still hadn't left. Instead, the man's voice came from outside the car: "Master, it's stuck so badly that we have to remove the wheels. Could you please move?"

Hearing this, Yuan Keding felt annoyed, but he could sit still in the car and cursed. Yuan Keding lifted up his gown and was about to get out of the car. As soon as he opened the curtain and before he could see the situation outside clearly, he saw two people.

One person

He rushed over with his right hand and his arms were so tightly clamped that he could not move. Yuan Keding was immediately frightened and was about to open his mouth to shout, but before he could shout, a ball of towel blocked his mouth, and then in front of him

Once dark, nothing can be seen

The night passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the sun rose from the east the next day. At eight o'clock in the morning, Liang Shiyi and a few of his confidants arrived at the predetermined location. In half an hour, they were ready to move, and everything had been arranged.

Liang Shiyi raised his head and looked in the direction of the Forbidden City. There is still a baby emperor here, but this magnificent palace will soon change its owner, and he, Liang Shiyi, will also leave his name in history and become the founding father of the country.

hero

"Finally, we have waited for this day. It's not easy, it's not easy." Liang Shiyi sighed in his heart, with a proud smile on his lips.

"Brother Yansun, Marshal Cao's troops have arrived at Jiumen and are changing defenses with the guards."

"It's so troublesome, brother. I'll go over and take the troops to control the government ministries immediately after the defense change." Liang Shiyi nodded and gave the order decisively.

After a while, someone came to report that the Central Bank Guards had also arrived at the city gate. The other party had sent a liaison officer, Liang Shiyi, and quickly sent a few more people there to tell Wang Zhaoming that the main task of the guards was to take over the capital.

Police station and assist Cao Kun's troops in maintaining order

Immediately afterwards, good news kept coming. Seeing that everything was going according to his plan, Liang Shiyi's smile became a little brighter. After waiting for more than ten minutes, he took out his pocket watch and looked at it. The time was already eight thirty.

Ten, but Yuan Keding still didn't come over, and Liang Shiyi couldn't help but frown.

"You...take people to find Mr. Yuan right away. What's going on? It's been so long and you haven't come yet."

"yes"

Liang Shiyi's people quickly replied that they were looking for someone in a hurry. Not long after, someone came back and reported that Yuan Keding got up late today. On the way, he happened to meet someone sent to say hello, saying that he would be there in about half an hour.

Come here

It was almost nine o'clock at this time, and all the arrangements were already in full swing. According to the original plan, Liang Shiyi should go to the Presidential Palace as soon as possible. Who would have thought that the unreliable Mr. Yuan would actually drop the chain temporarily? When he heard the report, Liang Shiyi immediately

gas

His nose was crooked and he cursed a few times. After thinking about it, he asked someone to inform Yuan Keding that he didn’t have to rush here and went directly to the Presidential Palace to meet and explain. After Liang Shiyi made some arrangements, he led a few people to rush

Rushing to the Presidential Palace

On the way to the Presidential Palace, the good news came one after another. Cao Kun's troops had completely taken over the defense of Jiumen and divided some into the city. As for the Central Bank Guards, they had also arrived at the police station and took control of it.

all

The police cooperated with Cao Kun's troops to march towards other government ministries. As he was on his way, he saw some soldiers running quickly on the street from time to time, scaring ordinary people into hiding, but Liang Shiyi saw it.

But happy in my heart

“What a great success!”

Liang Shiyi laughed loudly and rushed to the Presidential Palace. When he arrived at the Presidential Palace, he saw that the guards outside had been replaced by soldiers from the Third Division of the National Defense Force and the escort army. After getting off the car, Liang Shiyi was all smiles.

It seems that the progress is smoother than I imagined. Cao Kun is indeed a good general. Wang Zhaoming did a good job. In the blink of an eye, even the outside of the Presidential Palace was under control.

"Who stops?"

When Liang Shiyi arrived at the Presidential Palace and was about to enter, Qiu Ba at the door raised his gun and shouted:

"This is Secretary-General Liang who has blinded you." A guy next to Liang Shiyi jumped out and cursed.

"It turns out to be Mr. Liang, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Qiu Ba, the gatekeeper, was stunned for a moment, quickly put away his gun and bowed his head with a smile on his face.

"Are you the subordinates of Marshal Cao of the Third Division?" Liang Shiyi waved his hand to stop his men from reprimanding these soldiers, and asked pleasantly.

"Yes, yes," Qiu Ba from the third division nodded quickly.

Looking at a soldier wearing a guard uniform next to him, Liang Shiyi asked again: "Are you the Central Bank Guard, Wang Ji's subordinate?"

"Yes." The guard soldier was much tougher than Qiu Ba of the Third Division, and he quickly stood at attention in a more military-like manner and replied.

"Okay." Liang Shiyi smiled widely and asked, "How many people are outside the Presidential Palace now?"

When he learned that half a company of the Third Division and a squad of escorts had taken over the defense outside the Presidential Palace, Liang Shiyi felt reassured and encouraged these few Qiu Ba, and asked the leading officer to send ten soldiers to follow him. Enter the presidential palace together

After a while, a squad leader rushed over with these nine soldiers, and under the command of Liang Shiyi, they entered the Presidential Palace together. Contrary to the noise outside, the Presidential Palace was still quiet. Suddenly, a large group of people walked in. Several staff members in the presidential palace were stunned.

"Secretary-General, you are..."

"Where is the president?" Liang Shiyi did not answer the words of an ordinary secretary, but asked rhetorically

"The President is in the office. Why are you bringing so many people with you..."

"Don't worry about it. I have something urgent to meet with the president." Liang Shiyi stretched out his hand to push the secretary away and walked towards the office.

"Secretary-General, of course you can see the President, but these soldiers must not go in." The secretary suddenly became anxious when he saw Liang Shiyi leading his soldiers with a murderous look, and desperately rushed over to block his way.

"Tie him up." Liang Shiyi glanced sideways at the man and said lightly. Two soldiers rushed up from behind and immediately tied up the secretary tightly and threw him aside. Several other staff looked at this posture and were frightened. His face was so pale and his calves were trembling that he didn't even dare to persuade him.

Shiyi led the soldiers and strode towards the office of the Presidential Palace. He was very familiar with this place. After a while, he arrived outside the courtyard, leaving two soldiers to guard the door. He opened the door and entered the courtyard, walking straight inside.

"President Liang Shiyi has something to ask for," he shouted outside the door. Without waiting for Yuan Shikai inside to answer, Liang Shiyi pushed open the door and entered the office. He saw only one person sitting at his desk and looking at documents. Hearing The movement was looking up at Liang Shiyi. As Liang Shiyi walked forward, he continued to shout: "The president... the president..."
