Chapter 295 Beijing City 2)

Yuan Shikai's personal guards were the most loyal and obedient. Seeing that Yuan Shikai took the lead in surrendering, they followed Yuan Shikai's orders, threw away the guns in their hands, walked out and stood in the open space waiting for the other party to come and capture them.

"Father, why are you?" Yuan Kewen threw away his revolver and followed Yuan Shikai helplessly and asked.

"Hehe, even ants survive, that's all," Yuan Shikai replied calmly.

Although Yuan Shikai's subordinates had already abandoned their guns and surrendered, more than a dozen PLA special forces were still meticulous. They cooperated carefully and slowly rushed up from all over the world with rifles.

Seeing this situation, Yuan Shikai was moved and said: "Highly trained, strict and uniform, and good elite soldiers."

Yuan Kewen ignored these things and said to Yuan Shikai with regret: "Father, you betrayed Emperor Guangxu, he must have hated you to the core. If we surrender now, will he treat us as nothing has happened and let us go?"

At this time, gunfires from the outside of Yuan’s mansion began to sound continuously. Yuan Kewen listened carefully and continued, "Our escorts lurking nearby have arrived. Looking at the posture of these Imperial Army soldiers, they want to capture you alive. As long as we could delay in it for a while, the other party would be in an unfavorable situation of being attacked from both sides. At that time, it is unknown who will win."

Yuan Shikai did not look of regret at all and said calmly: "Kewen, although the other party wants to capture me alive, if we do not surrender, the other party holds a grenade in his hand. With the soul battle, we two father and son will inevitably suffer damage. Besides, the other party has meticulous layout and has been on guard against our escort hiding outside. Listen, the gunshots are still wandering outside the mansion, which means they cannot attack."

"Oh, we're over, this time we can't escape." Yuan Keding, who was standing beside him, said with a bitter face.

"Haha" Yuan Shikai smiled and said, "Child, don't worry, today is different from the past. Nowadays, the power of the father is strong and has a wide influence. The Beiyang New Army is completely controlled by the father. Therefore, for Emperor Guangxu who needs stability, it is still of great value to be a father. Judging from the actions of this Imperial Protection Army, there must be a powerful force behind the back. As long as they have a long-term vision, they will not attack the father, and they may be given preferential treatment."

At this time, Yuan Shikai's men were all gathered together. Zheng Tiehao, accompanied by several guards, came to Yuan Shikai.

Before Zheng Tiehao could speak, Yuan Shikai took the lead and said, "Brother, the situation is settled now. Let my son Keding and Kewen go and ask the guards outside to stop the attack."

Zheng Tiehao looked at Yuan Shikai with appreciation. In order to reduce unnecessary casualties, he hurriedly asked his personal guard to escort Yuan Keding and Yuan Kewen to go to the front and back doors of Yuan Mansion to say hello to Yuan Shikai's guards.

"This brother is very handsome. I wonder which general's subordinate?" Yuan Shikai looked at Zheng Tiehao for a while and asked hesitantly.

Zheng Tiehao smiled and changed the topic: "Those who know the current affairs are heroes. Yuan Zhongtang is indeed very uneasy. Yuan Zhongtang, we understand that you were too weak to betray Emperor Guangxu when you betrayed Emperor Guangxu, so you had to do it."

Even his subordinates understand the truth so well, it's true that he is a powerful move

After hearing Zheng Tiehao's words, Yuan Shikai felt more at ease. He took out a silver note of 10,000 taels from his arms, handed it to Zheng Tiehao quietly, and said softly: "Brother, I have a little intention, I don't respect you, I hope I will take more care of you in the future."

Zheng Tiehao laughed secretly, took the silver notes without hesitation, handed them to the guard behind him, and said, "This is the military expenses contributed by Lord Zhongtang, and it is recorded in the account."

When ordinary Qing army officers saw 10,000 taels of silver notes, they would definitely take it into their arms and fill it with their pockets. Yuan Shikai had never seen the Qing army officer who treated money as dirt, so he couldn't help but feel respectful and asked: "This brother, he should be a Han Chinese. Can you tell me truthfully, whether Emperor Guangxu was really rescued by you? I will be taken to see him later?"

Zheng Tiehao looked around and saw that the Yuan Mansion guards were being taken down with their heads hanging down, so he said the truth: "Anyway, the mystery will be solved later, so I will not keep it in the trap. Guangxu was rescued, but you want to meet Chen Hao, the leader of our Lanfang Republic."

"What? Chen Hao of Lanfang Republic" Yuan Shikai's heart suddenly burst into a huge sensation. This Chen Hao is so amazing. Not only are hesitating for trouble in various parts of the country, but he also reached into Beijing.

However, Yuan Shikai couldn't figure out how Chen Hao concealed the imperialist countries and the Qing Dynasty and sent troops to create such a large formation in China.

...

While Yuan Shikai's mansion was attacked, Prince Qing Yili's mansion was also subjected to fierce attacks.

Compared with Yuan’s Mansion, the guards in the Yili Palace were much weaker, and Yili and others had lower will to resist. In addition, Yili was smooth and deceitful and cunning. During the Wuxu Reform and Wuxu Coup, there was no strong conflict with Emperor Guangxu.

Therefore, after Yi Li, Zai Zhen and his son were trapped, Huang Congli, the "Divine Armor" responsible for besieging Prince Qing's Mansion, shouted a few fake "The Imperial Army is Coming". Yi Li, Zai Zhen and others quickly surrendered.

After Yi Li and Zai Zhen and his son were brought to Huang Congli, the "Divine Dart" Yi Li pretended to be calm and said to Huang Congli with a smile: "Little brother, there are constant gunfire inside and outside Beijing. The noise caused by your Imperial Army is so great, it is admirable."

Zai Zhen continued: "We two fathers and sons are very loyal to the emperor. When you attacked the royal palace just now, if you called it earlier, you would not have to worry about the attack. We would take the initiative to provide military expenses and tie them up directly."

Huang Congli showed a greedy look and asked Zai Zhen with great enthusiasm: "Military expenses? How much military expenses are you going to provide to meet the expenses of our Imperial Army?"

Zai Zhen looked at Yi Li, who showed a very painful look and said hesitantly: "Little brother, is 200,000 taels of silver enough?"

However, Yi Li was thinking in his mind: as long as the current crisis can be solved with money, not to mention 200,000 taels, or 1 million taels, it can be negotiated.

"Twenty-hundred thousand taels?" Huang Congli said dissatisfiedly: "Prince, we have dispatched a total of 10,000 troops holding 'Hanyang-made' rifles, 200,000 taels of silver. Are you talking enough?"
