Chapter 46 Chapter 46: Yuan Minkai seizes power and usurps power, Wu Bingxiang and Chongyin are excused

Originally, Zhang San, Lama Xialu and others were at an advantage. Except for Zhang San, Wang Jinting's bodyguards were killed in battle, and more than 60 people brought by Lama Xialu were also killed or injured.Lama Xialu had already protected Wang Jinting from the encirclement, when he suddenly heard that Sadi, the political enemy pretending to be the Dalai Lama, was dead, he was very happy and refreshed, and swung his shovel back to kill him. The soldiers listen to the generals and the grass listens to the wind.Now that Sadie died, his subordinates and soldiers were in chaos and fled one after another.In addition, most of Saadi's soldiers were subordinates of the real 13th Dalai Lama, but because of Saadi's coercion, they had no choice but to follow Sadi.Some honest officers and soldiers hated Sadie deeply, but they were afraid of his obscenity and dared not speak out. Now seeing that Sadie was hacked to death by Zhang San, they all raised their knives to kill Sadie's confidant, Bifu Sutra teacher. .Seeing that the situation was not good, the lama in red hurriedly snatched a fast horse and fled.

Zhang San and Lama Shalu meet at one place.Lama Shalu stood on the top of the stone steps, waved his shovel and shouted: "Now that Sadi is dead, we are going to welcome the thirteenth Dalai Lama and ask him to re-emerge. Sadi's dead soldiers, if you are willing to surrender , I can spare your life, and forget the past!" After hearing Lama Shalu's words, the remnants of Saadi put down their weapons and surrendered on their knees. The melee ended here. Sadi used force to coerce the Thirteenth Dalai Lama to abdicate and imprisoned him in the Fawang Cave on the Potala Mountain.After Shalu Lama returned to Tibet, he was persecuted by Sadi and had to live a life of Han exiled with his cronies.A few days ago, he heard that the Qing Dynasty sent an imperial envoy to deliver the imperial edict, so he rushed here with his entourage, risking his life, to see through Sadi's plot.Unexpectedly, the escort of the imperial envoy of the Qing Dynasty was Zhang San, the "drunk man" he met in Beijing more than ten years ago.

The crowd welcomed the thirteenth Dalai Lama out of the Fawang Cave. After taking a bath, the Dalai Lama was radiant, washed off the shame of several years, put on the solemn Buddhist clothes, and came to the East Happy Square.People flocked to the square from all directions, cheering loudly.Wang Jinting held the edict respectfully and dedicated it to the true Lord of Tibet.Shalu Lama also justifiably became a loyal courtier of the Dalai Lama, Tibet and the Qing Dynasty were repaired for a while, and paid tribute every year. Soon after Zhang San and Wang Jinting returned to Beijing, the Revolution of 1911 broke out in China and the Qing Dynasty was overthrown. Not long after, Mr. Sun Yat-sen, the great pioneer of the old Chinese democratic revolution, was sworn in in Nanjing as the interim president of the Republic of China.Sun Yat-sen energized the provinces to switch to the Gregorian calendar, and took the date of the inauguration of the interim president as the beginning of the founding of the Republic of China. On February 12, 1912, Emperor Xuantong abdicated and granted Yuan Shikai full authority to organize a provisional republican government.The next day, Sun Yat-sen resigned to the Provisional Senate of the Nanjing Government. On the 15th, the provisional Senate elected Yuan Shikai as provisional president.On October 6 of the following year, Yuan Shikai surrounded the Congress with thousands of military police pretending to be "citizens' regiment" and coerced the members to vote for him as president. On the 10th, Yuan Shikai took office as the official president in the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City in Beijing.Yuan Shikai, an ambitious man who started his career as a military trainer at Tianjin Xiaozhan, exchanged the blood of the Reform Party members for the Empress Dowager Cixi's reuse when the Reform Party members were facing desperation in the 1898 Years, and established his own political power with the blood of Tan Sitong and the six gentlemen of the 1898 Movement. status.Later, he extended his claws to the Dragon Chair in the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Qing Palace.After the Wuchang Uprising broke out, the revolutionary army took advantage of the victory to conquer the north. Yuan Shikai relied on his heavy troops to coerce Sun Yat-sen to step down, and finally became a pivotal figure in the Chinese political arena.Yuan Shikai's perverse behavior and treachery caused dissatisfaction and indignation among many revolutionaries and patriots across the country. Some people with lofty ideals sneaked into Beijing to try to murder this thief. Yuan Shikai was bombed, but without success, 3 people were arrested and killed.The Tongzhou Revolutionary Party conspired to assassinate Yuan Shikai, and Cai Dechen and other 7 people were arrested and killed because of the informant.Peng Jiazhen, a member of the Revolutionary Party of the Tongmenghui, failed to bomb Yuan Shikai and killed Liangbi, the counselor of the Qing army. Peng Jiazhen died on the spot.Another time, when Yuan Shikai was passing through Caishikou in a sedan chair, someone bombed him. Fortunately, the bomb did not go off, otherwise it would have turned into meat paste.All kinds of assassination activities made Yuan Kai deeply disturbed, and he urgently felt the need for powerful bodyguards to protect his life.

Yuan Shikai himself was also a little kung fu. When he was young, he was unrestrained, playing sparrows, fighting quail, betting on cricket fights, drinking heavily, playing hooligans to entangle women, and doing everything.He also learned how to embroider his legs with one hand, and often provokes disputes.His servant accidentally stepped on his black-haired puppy, and was whipped almost to death by him.Fighting for a puppy turned into a fight, resulting in one death and several injuries.Yuan Shikai once learned martial arts from a Henan native named Liu Jia.Liu Jia claimed to be a disciple of Shaolin, and he was performing arts in the Henan area. Seeing Yuan Shikai visiting for advice, he proposed three chapters of the contract, asking Yuan Shikai to swear to heaven: 1. Not to drink alcohol.Two, not close to women.Three, learn not to kill people.Yuan Shikai agreed with all his heart, but he just started to learn and practice on the first day, and stayed in a brothel on the second night, which made his whole body exhausted and sleepy for several days.After a few days of studying, Yuan Shikai excused his father to stop him, bid farewell to Liu Jia, and left. He still hung out in casinos, drinking, gambling, and doing a lot of evil. He even called himself the "Second Shaolin Master".

Now Yuan Shikai wants to find a martial arts master to be his bodyguard, and he also wants to use the name of a master to deter those assassins and killers.On this day, Yuan Shikai called Wu Bingxiang, director of the Jingshi Police Department, in the Juren Hall of Zhongnanhai. Yuan Shikai asked: "Who are the famous martial artists today, and who among them is the most powerful?" Wu Bingxiang tilted his head and thought for a while, then said, "There is a martial artist named 'Nose Li' Li Ruidong. "Li Cunyi is opening the Wantong Escort Bureau in Baoding Prefecture. There is a famous master named Chuck Chuck who is known as the 'arm saint' Chuck. Liu Qilan, a master of Xingyiquan, is now old and lives in seclusion in his hometown in Shenzhou, Zhili. Zhang Zhankui from Hejian in Zhili and Han Muxia from Tianjin are both good at kung fu, and they don’t know where they are going.”

Yuan Shikai took a sip of Longjing tea, and asked with interest: "Where did that 'crab horse' go for Lord Yi's bodyguard?" Wu Bingxiang said: "There has been no news for the past few years. There is a Baguazhang master 'Xiao Zhuiliang' Liang Zhenpu who is running the Desheng Escort Bureau in Jizhou, Zhili..." "Is that the guy who rioted in Majiapu and killed 16 people? Forget it!" Wu Bingxiang looked at the writing brush on the desk in a daze, he thought for a while, and then said: "There is a martial artist called 'God Leg', named Du Xinwu, who is from Hunan, and is currently serving as Huang Xing's bodyguard."

Yuan Shikai waved his hands impatiently and said, "Stop talking nonsense." Wu Bingxiang stammered: "Yang Chengpu, a master of Yang Style Taijiquan, and Wu Jianquan, a master of Wu Style Taijiquan, have all gone to Hubei, and Li Yaochen, the former bodyguard of Empress Dowager Cixi, went to Guangdong..." Yuan Shikai poked Wu Bingting on the forehead: "You, you, talk about the side." Wu Bingxiang thought for a while, and said, "Guo Yunshen has a disciple named Wang Xiangzhai, who is young, strong, and very promising." "Where is he?" "have no idea."

"Bastard, slap!" Yuan Shikai slapped Wu Bingxiang's police cap crookedly. Wu Bingxiang covered his mouth and said falteringly: "By the way, 'Swallow' Li San!" Yuan Shikai thumped the table angrily, and the tea foam splashed Wu Bingxiang's face. "Oh! I lured the wolf into the house and told him to steal all my things!" Wu Bingxiang patted his head, his eyes showing surprise: "That's right! Why am I so confused, how did I forget him?!" Yuan Shikai's eyes also brightened: "Who?" "'Drunkard' Zhang San!"

Yuan Shikai scratched his scalp and murmured, "I never forgot about this thaumaturgy." Wu Bingxiang said: "North and south, inside and outside Beijing, who doesn't know this Mr. Zhang! But he is supercilious and arrogant. I'm afraid I won't let you go." Yuan Shikai's beard flicked, and he shouted, "What? Is my surname Yuan still unable to hire a trickster?!" Wu Bingxiang said: "If you have money, you can make ghosts turn the millstone. I'll give you more money and try it." Early the next morning, a gorgeous carriage stopped at the gate of Zhang San's house in Dongdan Yiyang Hutong. Two policemen knocked on the black-painted door, and Zhang San's wife, Mrs. Zhang, came out in a hurry.Wu Bing came out of the carriage, holding a box of jewels, he shouted at Zhang: "President Yuan wants to ask Mr. Zhang to be his bodyguard. This is really a blessing for your Zhang family. Father's gift."

At this time, only Zhang San's groan came from Westinghouse.Wu Bingxiang walked into the west room, and saw Zhang San was lying on the kang with a towel covering his head, shivering and moaning. Wu Bingxiang asked: "What happened to Mr. Zhang?" Zhang San revealed half of his face from under the quilt, and said weakly: "Director Wu, please...please, why are you condescending to the humble alley today..." Wu Bingxiang said: "President Yuan has taken a fancy to you and wants to ask you to be his bodyguard..." Zhang San coughed twice, and said with a mournful face: "Unfortunately, I have suffered from malaria recently, and I can't afford to lie on the kang. I really can't take on this important task!..."

Mrs. Zhang also came over and said, "This old man got malaria, how did he get it after infecting President Yuan Da? Let's hire another expert!" Wu Bingxiang sighed, and said: "Oh, it's true that which pot can't be opened and which pot can be lifted. I didn't expect the third master to be seriously ill, so I'll leave!" Gone without looking back. After Wu Bingxiang left, Zhang Sanyi kicked the quilt, sat up abruptly, laughed loudly and said, "Old woman, what's the matter, my plan is still a good idea!" Mrs. Zhang poked Zhang San on the forehead with a smile: "You are very good at playing tricks." Zhang San called his eldest son, Hechai, and second son, Heming, and said, "Today, I'm going to invite you Uncle Luo Ying, Uncle He Liu, and Uncle Xiaoyingbi to eat boiled mutton. You two go find them separately." After the two children left, Zhang San asked his wife to go to Dongdan to buy eight catties of fresh mutton. With two bags of cigarettes to spare, Duke Luo Ying, He Liu, and Xiao Yingbi came one after another. Zhang Sandao said, "Today I boiled that boy Yuan Shikai. I'm so happy. I invite you to eat boiled mutton." Three times Yuan Shikai ordered Wu Bingxiang to invite him to be the bodyguard, how he pretended to be sick and dismissed him, and everyone laughed.He Liudao: "Master Zhang is really courageous and tolerant, he was blocked by the President." Mrs. Zhang set up a banquet, raised the hot pot, cut the mutton into slices, filled several plates, and placed them around the hot pot.Zhang San told everyone to sit down, and suddenly called out: "Hey, the head of the house, don't you have any condiments yet?" Mrs. Zhang ran over to take a look, and said with a smile, "I'm confused by the police chief. I forgot to buy soy bean curd. We have leek flowers, chili oil, and sesame paste, but we don't have soy bean curd." Mr. Luo Ying picked up his chopsticks, put a piece of mutton in the hot pot, and asked, "Is there any yellow sauce?" Zhang said: "Yellow sauce is available." "Then use yellow sauce instead." Zhang San hesitated for a moment, stood up, and said: "I'll come when I go out to vent my car (referring to Dajie)." Mrs. Zhang scolded: "You old man, you are really a lazy donkey who makes you pee too much." Zhang San went there for about three bags of cigarettes and didn't come back. He Liu swallowed his saliva and said, "Third Master is really pulling strings and shit, it's endless." Mrs. Zhang called her eldest son, Hechai, and said, "Go to the hut and have a look. Don't your father fall in the hut. Why hasn't he come back after so long?" He Qi stuck out his tongue, blinked his eyes and said: "My father would like to squat in the hut, and sometimes he would squat in the hut to read boxing books, so don't rush him." Just as he was talking, Zhang San rushed in excitedly, holding the bean curd basket in one hand and the invoice in the other.
