The heavens: pushing across all realms
Chapter 123 The Reform Movement of 1898 (asking for monthly votes)
Feng Ji took Prince Yi hostage and rushed towards the musketeers.
The Musketeers suddenly panicked, and the leader Yuan Shikai also immediately panicked.
He raised his gun but didn't dare to shoot.
In full public view, if he did not care about Prince Yi's safety, he would shoot like this.
Even if Prince Yi is saved, he will not escape death!
Feng Ji laughed wildly: "Yuan Shikai, you are a slave to others, are you going to promote you by pointing to these losers for the rest of your life?"
boom!
Feng Ji fell into the Musketeers like a terrifying meteorite.
Everyone in the musketeers was afraid of shooting, so no one dared to shoot.
They didn't dare to shoot, but Feng Ji dared to kill.
I saw him casually punching an officer and blowing his head open with a bang.
He kicked out and knocked several people away.
In the blink of an eye, Feng Ji had arrived in front of Yuan Shikai, who was at a loss.
Yuan Shikai panicked and quickly retreated, pointing his gun at Feng Ji.
"Feng Ji! Brother Feng, you...don't make a mistake!"
he screamed in rage.
Feng Ji suddenly laughed, grabbed Prince Yi's braid, pulled him over, pressed his fingers into his neck, and shouted: "Yuan Shikai! Shoot and kill this Manchu prince!"
Prince Yi hurriedly shouted: "Don't listen to him, Yuan Xiangcheng, if you take action, your Yuan family will not be able to escape."
Feng Ji sneered: "Yuan Shikai, if you don't kill him, don't blame me for killing you!"
"W-what on earth are you going to do?"
Yuan Shikai screamed in horror.
Feng Ji grinned: "Rebellion, don't you understand?"
"Yuan Shikai, you are a talented general. Staying in the Qing court will only bury your abilities. Kill Prince Yi, hand in the certificate of surrender, and I will take you to the south!"
"No, no, our Yuan family has been loyal for generations, how can we rebel?"
He screamed in anger, the gun in his hand shaking.
Feng Ji sneered. Others believed him, but Feng Ji would not believe him.
Yuan Shikai was a sinister, cunning and egoist person.
After Puyi abdicated, he immediately became king and president.
Is this person loyal?
Of course he is not loyal, but his level of military training is first-rate. During the warlord separatist period of the Republic of China, most of the warlord leaders came from Yuan Shikai.
What Feng Ji wanted was his military talent. If he could force Yuan Shikai to rebel against the Qing court now and take him to the south overseas to train troops for an uprising, history might be very different.
However, Yuan Shikai obviously knew Feng Ji's plan. He threw away the revolver in his hand, puffed out his chest, and said: "Feng Ji, I can't catch you, but I won't betray the court. If you want to kill him, Cut it, as you like."
Yuan Shikai stared at Feng Ji with his eyes fixed on him, already wanting to die.
Feng Ji couldn't help but be surprised, he didn't expect Yuan Shikai to have such courage.
His eyes were slightly cold, and he suddenly punched Yuan Shikai.
Suddenly Tan Sitong in the distance exclaimed: "Stop!"
But he was too far away to intervene.
Yuan Shikai sighed in his heart, closed his eyes, and said to himself: My life is at stake.
But the expected death did not come.
Feng Ji's fist stopped in front of his face, and the wind from the fist made Yuan Shikai's face tremble.
This time, Feng Ji was indeed a little surprised.
Yuan Shikai is really not afraid of death!
If you think about it carefully, Yuan Shikai is a talented general. He assisted the King of Korea in suppressing rebellions many times and was in danger several times.
This kind of person may be cunning, cunning, or disloyal, but he is definitely not someone who is afraid of death.
After all, he is a hero.
Yuan Shikai knew very well that if he killed Prince Yi today, there would be no place for him in the Qing court.
Not only him, but also his uncle and the entire Yuan family will be destroyed.
So he would rather die than kill Prince Yi.
Feng Ji stopped his hand and smiled: "Brother Yuan, you are so courageous, but the court may not appreciate your risk of life and death."
He threw Prince Yi away and said: "Prince Yi, for the sake of my good brother, I won't kill you today. I will only destroy your descendants. But please remember it for me. I will take care of your head when I want." Come and get it, come and get it anytime!”
"Not only you, but also the dog emperor in the palace and the immortal Cixi."
After Feng Ji said that, he actually let Prince Yi go!
Prince Yi was shocked and happy from death to life. He was so excited that he fainted on the spot.
On the other side, Wang Wu fought fiercely with Sakamoto, swinging his sword like the wind. Finally, after dozens of moves, he suddenly slashed Huashan with a powerful sword.
With a puff, Sakamoto's head was cut off directly!
He burst out laughing: "I can't kill all my enemies, hahaha..."
Feng Ji laughed: "Fifth brother, today's killing is not satisfying enough, let's go to the south and kill Japanese dogs!"
"Hahaha, okay!"
The two of them joined hands and strode towards the outside of the martial arts arena. No one in the room dared to stop them.
When Feng Ji disappeared, Yuan Shikai and Tan Sitong suddenly came back to their senses and looked at each other.
Tan Sitong came over and asked, "Brother Yuan, are you okay?"
Yuan Shikai shook his head, with a gloomy expression on his face, and said: "What happened today may cause trouble in the Jinluan Palace."
"Stop talking about this, save Prince Yi first." Tan Sitong couldn't help but sigh.
Yuan Shikai looked at Prince Yi, his heart even heavier.
Feng Ji deliberately spared Prince Yi's life today, and when he said those last words, how could he not hear that this was a estrangement plan?
I'm afraid that even if Prince Yi wakes up, he, Yuan Shikai, will not have a good life.
Thinking of this, he felt extremely anxious.
"Why does Feng Ji target me everywhere? What grudges do I have against him?"
…
Not to mention the chaos in the capital, Feng Ji and Wang Wu rushed back to the Qiangwu Meeting, ordered everyone to pack their packages and leave the capital immediately.
No one had time to ask any more questions, so they packed up and left.
Just as everyone was about to get on the train, Jiujin rode up from the crowd and shouted: "Fifth Master! Brother Feng, where are you going?"
Feng Ji turned around and saw her, and couldn't help but smile: "Brother Jiujin, if Brother Tan is killed one day, you can go to Jinmen to send a message."
Jiujin felt sad. Watching Feng Ji and others leave, for some reason, he felt the urge to cry.
The young girl Huaichun had seen many heroes and had a high vision, but when she met Feng Ji, she realized that none of the heroes in the world were as brave as him.
When it comes to knowledge, it seems that... he is even more extraordinary than the young master's teacher Kang Youwei.
After just a few days of getting along with him, she actually had a vague fondness for him.
Dang Dang Dang...
The train whistles and moves forward.
The beauty stared blankly at the departing train, and unknowingly, tears filled her eyes.
The case of Prince Yi shocked both the government and the public.
The emperor was furious and began to post notices in various places to arrest Feng Ji, Wang Wu and others.
Unfortunately, Feng Ji had already left the capital and returned to Tianjin.
Here in Tianjin, the Qiang Wuhui is very powerful. Not to mention the imperial court far away in the capital, even the prefect of Tianjin Prefecture has to think carefully if he wants to use the Qiangwuhui.
At the moment, the new army at the small station has not yet been formed, and just after the defeat of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894, the court wants money but has no money, and no one wants people.
There was another rebellion by the Boxers in Shandong, and the revolutionary army in Guangzhou in the south revolted, leaving holes everywhere.
The Qing Dynasty's national power declined, so that after Feng Ji returned to Tianjin, there was no army that could be mobilized to Tianjin to arrest him.
The dignified Prince Yi was deprived of his descendants by the Jianghu people, but the court could not capture the key culprit.
For a time, Feng Ji's reputation, following this major case, resounded throughout the martial arts world!
Folks even wrote down Feng Ji's story into a storybook, which was told by storytellers in the streets and alleys.
Feng Ji didn't care about this. After he returned to Jinmen, he suddenly became busy.
The Feng family's property is moving to the south, and the north cannot be given up.
The Qiang Wuhui contacted the Boxers many times and finally reached a unanimous goal to drive out the Tartars and revitalize China.
Feng Ji became the third Boxer leader of the Jinmen Boxer Rebellion.
Qiangwuhui officially joined the Boxer Rebellion and established its own altar. According to the Eight Diagrams, the character "Xun" is the altar.
As the president, Feng Ji naturally became the senior brother, and the Tianjin Boxers were all headed by him.
In addition, Nong Jinsun became the liaison between the northern and southern revolutionary armies, often visiting Fengjiabao, with constant support from the Feng family.
The revolution in the south was in full swing, and the results continued to expand. In a short period of time, they conquered Guangdong and Guangxi and expanded all the way north.
The governor of Zhejiang sent dozens of urgent memorials of 800 miles a day to the capital. The capital no longer cared about the case of Prince Yi and hurriedly mobilized troops and reinforcements from Hunan.
At the same time, the Qing government continued to purchase arms from foreigners to expand its strength.
All money used will be deducted from customs duties or mortgaged from ceded land.
The structure of this world is changing rapidly.
…
Time flies, three years have passed.
In June 1898, Guangxu finally accepted the reformists' suggestions and implemented reforms!
Advocate learning from the West, promote science and culture, reform the political and educational systems, and develop agriculture, industry, and commerce.
At the same time, government agencies were reformed, redundant officials were eliminated, and reformers were appointed.
Encourage private individuals to set up industrial and mining enterprises; open new schools to attract talents, translate Western books, and spread new ideas;
Press and periodicals were established to open up speech; a new army and navy were trained; at the same time, it was stipulated that the eight-part essay should be abolished in the imperial examinations, and redundant yamen and useless official positions should be abolished.
The government and the public were shocked. The interests of the conservative forces headed by Cixi were seriously violated. There were constant quarrels in the court.
The reformers argued vigorously, and Tan Sitong and others were even more quarrelsome.
Ronglu and other princes resisted even more angrily, fighting openly and secretly, with swords and guns, and the reform and reform had reached a fever pitch.
Beijing, Jingrong Hall.
"Teacher Kang, why are you so anxious to find me?"
Tan Sitong took Jiujin to the guild hall and met Kang Youwei, the leader of the reform faction.
Kang Youwei was about forty years old, in his prime, and had a mustache.
At this time, his face was heavy and he said: "Something is going wrong."
Tan Sitong was surprised: "What's wrong?"
"The letters I've been waiting for in recent days have been stolen!"
Tan Sitong frowned: "What letter? Is it important?"
“It’s about abolishing government behind curtains…”
"What!"
Tan Sitong's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly asked: "Who robbed you?"
"Ronglu!" Kang Youwei said with an ugly expression.
Tan Sitong said with a gloomy face: "It seems that the conservatives are going to take action! Teacher, we must not sit still and wait for death."
Kang Youwei nodded: "I understand that I came to you this time to discuss this matter."
Tan Sitong was a little surprised and asked: "Why not ask Qichao and others to discuss it together?"
"The fewer people know about this, the better." Kang Youwei said in a low voice.
As he said that, he also looked at Jiu Jin.
Tan Sitong understood immediately, turned to Jiu Jin and said, "Jiu Jin, you go down first."
Jiu Jin moved his lips, wanting to say something, but when he saw the young master's serious expression, he couldn't help but lower his head and silently left the room.
Kang Youwei then said: "Zhuang Fei, I heard that you have a good relationship with Yuan Shikai who trains troops at the small station?"
Tan Sitong was puzzled: "Teacher Kang, why do you mention this?"
Kang Youwei said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid things may be exposed now. Conservatives will never sit back and wait for death. We may have to take action first."
After hearing this, Tan Sitong thought for a moment and immediately understood: "You mean you want to borrow Yuan Shikai's troops?"
"Yes, if you want to win in danger, you can only march in danger!"
Kang Youwei said: "Yuan Shikai has a new army of 17,000 people and is close to the capital. You and he know each other well and have a good relationship. He has been advocating new reforms over the years. He must be supporting our reforms. If you tell him how powerful you are, He should be on our side."
Tan Sitong frowned slightly: "What if he doesn't help?"
Kang Youwei said: "If you want the emperor to regain power, the only action you have to take is to force Cixi to give up the throne."
"For Yuan Shikai, the odds of this bet are very high, and he will not fail to place the bet."
Tan Sitong was worried: "What if he doesn't bet on the emperor?"
Kang Youwei was silent for a moment and asked, "So I'm asking you. You have a close relationship with him and know what he is like."
Tan Sitong also fell silent. For some reason, he suddenly thought of Feng Ji.
The words Feng Ji once said to him on the train emerged one by one.
Kang Youwei suddenly spoke and said: "Zhuang Fei, the reform has begun. We have sacrificed so much, and until today, there is no way out. Whether China can get out of the predicament depends on you and me!"
Tan Sitong was heartbroken and finally said, "I'll go to Tianjin!"
"If I believe in the wrong person, I will be the greatest fool of all time, and he, Yuan Shikai, will be the greatest sinner of all time!"
Kang Youwei was shocked and said with tears in his eyes: "You must be careful."
Tan Sitong shook his head: "Teacher Kang, for the sake of China, at worst, blood will be splashed on the yellow sand road, and the world will be different if you die!"
…
That night Tan Sitong rushed to Tianjin overnight and secretly met with his close friend Yuan Shikai.
At this time, although Yuan Shikai lost Prince Yi as his backer, he still fawned over Li Hongzhang and still took control of the Beiyang New Army and became the commander-in-chief of the new army with heavy troops.
When he saw Tan Sitong, he welcomed him into his house with a smile on his face.
"Zhuang Fei, when did you arrive in Tianjin? Why didn't you tell me?"
Tan Sitong did not rush to talk about business, but asked: "Brother Yuan, you have been training recruits in Tianjin for so long, and you are quite effective. You are highly praised by everyone in the court."
Yuan Shikai laughed: "They are all working for the emperor."
As the two sat down, Tan Sitong suddenly thought of Feng Ji and couldn't help but ask: "By the way, isn't Feng Ji's strong martial arts club in Tianjin? Have you found him?"
Yuan Shikai's smile suddenly stopped, he was silent for a moment, and finally shook his head: "I didn't look for it."
Tan Sitong was surprised: "Why is this?"
Yuan Shikai smiled bitterly and said: "What if I find him? He is a master of energy transformation. If we fail to catch him, then he will target me. What should I do?"
Tan Sitong was silent for a moment. It was really unsettling that a master of energy transformation was eyeing you.
"I don't know what happened to Fifth Brother and the others."
Yuan Shikai sighed: "I heard that among the southern revolutionary army, there are people who hold high the flag of the Black Flag Army. Everyone in the army is skilled in swordsmanship and is extremely elite. They have even reached Ryukyu. I'm afraid Fifth Brother is no longer in the Central Plains."
When Tan Sitong heard this, he laughed: "That's good. Fifth Brother's abilities can at least be put to use."
"Yes, Fifth Brother's sword did not swing at the compatriots, but at the Japanese invaders. He lived up to his reputation as a great sword."
"Let's not talk about it anymore, Zhuang Fei, are you here on business in Tianjin this time?"
When Tan Sitong got down to business, his smile faded and he looked around.
Yuan Shikai understood and immediately backed away: "You all get off."
"Yes, sir."
Seeing that everyone had withdrawn, Yuan Shikai looked at Tan Sitong and asked curiously: "Zhuang Fei, what is the secret?"
Tan Sitong looked outside, listened for a moment, and confirmed that there were no ears on the wall, and then said: "I want you to mobilize the new army Qinwang!"
"What?!"
Yuan Shikai stood up suddenly, his face full of shock.
"That's right, enter the capital to protect the emperor!"
Yuan Shikai frowned, digesting this important news.
"The defense of the capital has always been handled by the Shenji Battalion. Why is there a need for a new military Qinwang?"
Tan Sitong stretched out his hand, put his hand on Yuan Shikai's shoulder, and said solemnly: "This time King Qin actually forced Cixi to abdicate in the name of protecting the emperor!"
"What!"
Yuan Shikai's heart trembled, his face changed, and he looked at Tan Sitong in disbelief.
Tan Sitong said in a deep voice: "Brother Yuan, as long as the emperor does not assume power, the New Deal will not be implemented! It is related to the well-being of the world, and your and my safety are in danger!"
"This this……"
Yuan Shikai's heart was racing, and he said after a long time: "Even if Cixi abdicates, you may not be able to defeat the Manchu elders and the leader of the Eight Banners Army."
"Zhuang Fei, don't look at the rebels everywhere right now, but the Eight Banners Army of the imperial court has always refused to dispatch and is conserving its strength."
"If I go to King Qin and fight with the Lord of the Eight Banners, and a civil war breaks out, wouldn't we be the sinners of the world?"
Tan Sitong stopped him and said: "Brother Yuan, I am working for the people of the world, and only the people of the world know this intention. Ten thousand years is too long, so I only seize the day!"
He pulled Yuan Shikai over and said excitedly: "Shikai, if you do something big, you will either succeed or fail. There is never a middle way!"
"As long as we succeed in one fell swoop, Shikai, the future military development will all depend on you to preside over it."
"The Emperor has always appreciated your military training techniques."
Yuan Shikai sighed and clasped his fists at the sky: "Thank you for your wrong love, Zhuang Fei, have you really decided to do this?"
Tan Sitong's face was full of determination: "There is no turning back!"
"Okay! I promise you!"
…
At Jinmen Pier, a ship docked at the port, and two figures appeared on the bow.
One of them, carrying a large sword on his back, looked determined and weathered.
Next to him was a 1.9-meter-tall young man who looked to be in his early twenties and was wearing a black suit.
"Feng Ji, the war in Ryukyu is urgent. The Japanese have made several counterattacks. Why did you call me back at this time?" Wang Wu looked helplessly and asked Feng Ji.
Feng Ji looked at Tianjin and the ports full of foreign ships. He felt a little sad and said, "How long has it been since we came back?"
"I don't know how many years it has been since you came back. Anyway, I haven't been back for more than three years. Why are you coming back to this place? See how cowardly they smile at the foreigners on their knees?"
"I really regret now. If I had known earlier, I would have gone to the south with you to do something big. I wasted so long in the capital for nothing."
Feng Ji smiled and said: "You don't miss your old friend anymore? Brother Tan rekindled the spark in your heart back then."
Wang Wu immediately sighed and said: "Brother Tan... he is also a good man, but unfortunately... he chose the wrong direction. Speaking of which, it seems that their reforms have already begun to be implemented. Unexpectedly, the Dog Emperor really agreed, and Cixi actually Didn't you stop me?"
Feng Ji smiled: "How do you know you didn't stop me? Maybe you have already started to attack?"
"Really? Wait, you... didn't come back just because of this, right?"
"Haha, that's it. Counting the days, it's almost done."
Feng Ji laughed. Of course he remembered the Reform Movement of 1898, such an important event.
As for Tan Sitong's death, he could not ignore it.
He could not remember the specific day on which Tan Sitong died.
But he remembered that the Reform Movement of 1898 failed, and the Six Gentlemen of 1898 were executed not long after, which was known as the Hundred Days Reform in history.
Now that Emperor Guangxu has started to reform, it has been a hundred days, so he is probably not far from failure.
That's why he rushed back from Ryukyu, for no other reason than to take away a group of talented people like Tan Sitong.
At present, he has opened up the situation in Ryukyu, but he lacks a lot of talents.
The Xingzhonghui had a lot of people, but they all just wanted to capture Nanjing, and few cared about Ryukyu.
So when Feng Ji came to Tianjin, he could save as many patriots as he could.
