1890 King of Southeast Asia

Huang Zhengfang finally failed to reject Zheng Lei's "good intentions". Just before he decided to return to Nanhua, his sister Huang Suqing sent him a telegram, asking him to stay in the northwest.

Fortunately, Zheng Lei got him two months of vacation, one month of normal vacation and one month of special home leave, which was originally only seven days, but Zheng Lei approved it.

Not only him, but all those who were going to work in the northwest, whether soldiers or officers, were given a month of special vacation, and the reporting office was set in Borneo, so that they didn't have to run back and forth.

The scene turned back to the capital.

On July 1, after persuading Zaifeng again to no avail, Yuan Gongbao chose to launch a palace coup to end this "farce".

This was a painful choice for him. After all, after the use of force, the nature was different, and he would always be labeled as a traitor.

The coup went very smoothly. Yuan Gongbao's own hundreds of family guards joined the family guards of Manchu and Han ministers and easily broke through the defense of the imperial city garrison. In fact, the imperial city garrison had no fighting spirit.

The city defense force, a large number of misfits, was also easily taken over.

The entire coup resulted in less than a hundred casualties, including Zaifeng's own guards.

There was no large-scale chaos in the city, and some riots were easily stopped. The imperial city was slightly damaged, but the ministers supervised each other, and there were not many cases of embezzlement, and all kinds of cultural relics were well preserved.

The most important thing is that all kinds of books, books, and paintings in the palace were well preserved.

Those who stole things were targeting small, precious, and easy-to-carry things such as pearls and jade. They were not interested in books, which were the most important things for a nation.

It's really ironic that later when China sank, many books were snatched away by the Japanese. We regarded them as grass, but they regarded them as treasures.

On July 2, the second day after the coup, Zheng Lei ordered the revolutionary army to enter the city.

A lot of things happened on this day.

After the revolutionary army entered the city, it immediately sent a telegram to the whole country.

Not long after. Bashu, Yunnan, Guizhou, the Western Regions and the plateau, the three provinces, the north and south of the river, the east and west of the mountains, Shaanxi and Gansu, all sent telegrams to the revolutionary army to surrender.

On this day, Nanhua announced the withdrawal of the five divisions hired by the revolutionary government, ending the employment relationship between the two sides.

In fact, the 123rd Light Infantry Division, the 2nd Guards Division and the Artillery Division changed their numbers on the spot, and the revolutionary army had four more divisions. (The artillery division had been disbanded long ago)

On this day, after the Horqin Right Front Banner received the news of the surrender of the capital, it suddenly sent troops to attack the residence of the little emperor.

More than 600 Horqin "cavalry" (actually ordinary herdsmen temporarily) easily snatched the emperor and the empress dowager from the more than 1,000 cavalry on the left wing of Horqin and the more than 2,000 eight banners following the emperor.

The 44-year-old Empress Dowager Yulong disappeared, and the little emperor was sent to Ulanqab League by the Horqin cavalry, but that was a few days later. At present, we only know that the emperor was attacked and disappeared.

On the same day, Hou Dehui's Third Regiment arrived at Kulun, the most important city in the northern part of the grassland, after several days of long journey.

...

"Is this a city?" Hou Dehui rubbed his sore waist and looked at the "city" in front of him.

"Of course it can't be compared with the cities in the interior, but this is already a miracle on the grassland, the largest city in the outer grassland." King Abu Ghaida was even more miserable. He had never taken a car before and felt that his waist had broken after a few days.

"This is... a bit too simple. Except for the building in the middle, there is no building that is slightly taller."

"What is that building? It's so tall, is it the palace of Jebtsundamba?" Hou Dehui pointed to a building about four or five stories high and asked.

This is also the most eye-catching building in the whole of Kulun. Yes, they have taken the whole city of Kulun into their sight.

With the size of Kulun, Hou Dehui doubted whether there are 10,000 permanent residents here.

It seems that there are only a few hundred houses in the whole of Kulun, surrounded by rammed earth walls - or wooden fences.

This is normal. Kulun means a fenced grassland, but there are too few people.

This is understandable. There are only about 500,000 Mongolians on the entire grassland, about half of whom are annexed, and the rest are mainly nomadic.

"That is Gandan Monastery, which has hundreds of lamas. It is the largest and most popular temple on the grassland."

"Jebzundamba's residence is next to it, on the left, that building that is taller than ordinary buildings." King Abu Ghaida was embarrassed to say that it was the palace.

King Abu Ghaida had been exposed to Westernization and was a reformist. He put forward many proposals for the development of the grassland, but the Qing Empire was unable to implement them.

He had seen the world, so he felt ashamed.

"Isn't this just a small courtyard? Are you sure this is Jebzundamba's palace?" Hou Dehui picked up the telescope and looked at it several times before asking uncertainly.

From his perspective, he could get a rough idea of ​​the palace. From the information he saw, this was a larger three-in-one courtyard.

If it were the Jia Mansion in the book "Dream of Red Mansions", any small courtyard where a proper master lived would probably be bigger and more luxurious than this one.

"It's here. There is indeed a temple next to it. If you look carefully, you can see pilgrims." King Abu Ghaida said with some shame.

Jebtsundamba claimed to be the Great Khan of Mongolia, which is not a low position. Genghis Khan, the former Whip of God, was also the Great Khan of Mongolia.

At that time, Mongolian Khan occupied most of the Asian continent and was the most powerful empire in the world, but now ...

"Really, Wang Ye, I'm going to attack ..." Hou Dehui nodded, and then signaled King Abu Gada.

It wasn't that King Abu Gada obeyed him, but that he was afraid that King Abu Gada would be uncomfortable.

King Abu Gada also knew the kindness of Dehui, but he didn't care.

He did not admit that Zhebun Danba Mongolia's status, and even the living Buddha, would not be respectful of his buttocks.

Who does not know that this thing is flicker?

"It's okay, this is the last battle. I want to witness as a representative of the grassland people, witnessed, and the betrayer's end." King Abu Gada said in danger.

"Okay, if you are unwell, go to rest later, soon." Hou Dehui didn't talk much, and turned to order.

"Are you ready?"

"The artillery position is completed and the measurement is being measured." The artillery staff replied.

"Order the cannon, aiming at the highest large building ... The courtyard courtyard on the left, first a few cannons, the head of the rebels should be there."

"Order the first battalion to prepare for the offensive, the second battalion and the reconnaissance connected to the car to prepare for the maneuverability, don't let them run away."

Hou Dehui originally wanted to directly position the temple and hesitated to change the goal.

"Forget it, General Wang will deal with you ..."
