Chapter 236 My Empire!

In the early morning, the sun hung hazyly on the horizon in the east. At this time, everything in the world was silent. In the barracks of the First Cavalry Division of Zijin Mountain in Nanjing, it was boiling.

"Check the war horse!"

"Check the weapon..."

With the hissing of the war horses, the shouts of officers and non-commissioned officers echoed in the barracks. The cavalry gathered with the reines. They carried rifles, sabers and pistols on their backs, and waited for the order with a serious expression.

"We swear to obey the laws of the country and obey the orders of the country, be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor and the royal family, we should protect His Majesty the Emperor with our life, and we will love and defend our motherland with our life - the Chinese Empire..."

Fang Zhiqiang, who was holding the rein, muttered from time to time in his heart. His lips moved slightly, and the perseverance on his face with a helmet on his head was a little worried.

"Black wind, you must be obedient at that time..."

Holding his hand on the head of the mount "Black Wind", Fang Zhiqiang whispered. At this time, his mood seemed a little depressed, and he was not excited to go to the battlefield again. He was a veteran, a volunteer veteran. Every time he breathed the smell of gunpowder, he was always very excited.

And now?

But he seemed to be in a trance because of the differences in the face of the enemy.

"Li...right!"

With a command, the square cavalry stood next to the horse at the same time, holding the rein in their right hand and looking at the brigade commander on the stage.

Mao Zhiheng, wearing a helmet and a field uniform, looked at the officers and soldiers under the stage. The officers and soldiers maintained their morale as usual, but... "Brothers, what happened in Nanjing, we all know that your majesty and the country spent a lot of money for them to study. In order to strengthen the country, we fought hard on the battlefield. Why? Is it? In order to give them a good environment, let them study at ease and build at ease, but now, they are incited by a few people to starve themselves to death and try to kidnap the whole country. They are unfaithful to your majesty and the country, and unfilial to their parents and relatives! His behavior can be described as unfaithful and unfilial!"

Mao Zhiheng mobilized harshly. At this time, there was a tense breath in the air, and the sky and earth seemed to collapse as if it were about to explode.

"... Recently, there are a few people with different intentions trying to incite rebellion. In order to restore the order of Nanjing, we were ordered by the emperor to enter the city, drive away and arrest all the demonstrators!"

As he drank heavily, Mao Zhiheng's eyes were restrained.

"I hope you can give full play to the spirit of the first cavalry division and wish you a triumph!"

"Triumph! Triumph!"

In the shouts, with the command, the cavalry put their horses on their crotch, and the door of the first brigade of the first cavalry division was opened. Under the leadership of Mao Zhiheng, the cavalry riding the horses left the barracks with the battalion and company as the party and rushed to Nanjing City along the asphalt road. The sound of horses' hoofs stirred in the air.

For the first time, Ma Yueqing smiled. When he saw the figure of the consultant among the sit-in, he smiled. He knew what kind of change it was, from the first dozens of people, to hundreds of people the next day, to nearly a thousand people on the third day, and now nearly 2,000 people.

From the beginning, some people opposed them, some people threw stones at them, and the newspapers blamed them, but now? But no one accuses them anymore, no one throws stones at them anymore, and even the voices of sympathy for them begin to appear in the newspaper. What a perfect start.

"Resistance to the tyrant, the most powerful weapon, is not guns, especially when the tyrant has more guns, but when people sit there and go on a hunger strike to death, it will regret the most basic human feelings - mercy! At that time, the whole country will sympathize with you!"

Ma Yueqing remembered the teacher's words. How far-sighted the teacher was. Everything was as he expected. Now for His Majesty, he is in a difficult situation.

If he suppresses it decisively, the whole country will recognize his true face. At that time, the whole country will oppose him. If he does not suppress or compromise and let everyone starve to death here, it will also arouse opposition. Yesterday, when a person died, in the evening, all newspapers were one The voice of sympathy even appealed that His Majesty should come forward to talk to them and persuade them to eat.

Impossible, absolutely impossible to eat. As long as the hunger strike continues, in the end, he will definitely compromise. If necessary, I am also willing to sacrifice my life.

Send troops to suppress it! Let the blood stain the whole Nanjing! At this time, Ma Yueqing even expects His Majesty to send troops to suppress it. Only in this way can there be a real revolution in this country. At that time, this majesty, who is respected by the people, will abandon it for the people. At that time, China will abandon the decadent imperial system and become the first republic in Asia!

"Do you think your majesty will send troops to suppress it?"

Looking at the military police around him, Wei Nan asked Wang Haoze beside him, and he also came, which was really unexpected, but he still came.

"I will!"

Wang Haoze nodded heavily.

"Your Majesty started from the grass and became in the army. Maybe your majesty's benevolence was rare in ancient times, but your majesty's bones shed the same blood as soldiers. He will definitely suppress it! Especially..."

Looking at the weak classmates, Wang Haoze's expression was gloomy.

"Especially after the dead, they use death to show their determination to your majesty. Similarly, your majesty will also show his determination in his own way!"

"Is it sending an army?"

His words attracted the attention of others. From the newspapers, almost everyone knew the embarrassment of His Majesty's "hunting".

On the one hand, the demonstration is the power given to the people by the Constitution, but on the other hand, they use their own power to starve themselves to challenge the dignity of the Constitution.

"We will definitely send an army!"

Wang Haoze affirmed that when he came, his father had talked to him and did not stop him, but only clearly told him that the army would definitely support your majesty, because your majesty is the emperor of soldiers! Now your majesty does not send troops, just because the time has not come. Once there is really no way to retreat, he will definitely send troops to suppress it. Even if it is full of blood, it will not stop your majesty's decision.

"Sent troops to suppress, disperse and arrest everyone, that's Your Majesty's Renzi, because..."

The voice sank, and Wang Haoze's eyelids drooped slightly.

"This is more merciful than sitting there and starving to death!"

"So, will you hate your majesty?"

Wang Haoze shook his head!

"For me, this is by no means your war. It is a question of moral, psychological and physical endurance to you, us, and your majesty. Even if the army comes, their cruelty also comes from violence, because you are trying to overthrow the country! They are the country that bleeds for!"

"The palace door is open!"

Suddenly, I don't know who shouted. At this time, people saw the palace door open. At dawn, the palace door opened. Chen Moran, dressed in military uniform, stood coldly in front of the palace gate, looking straight at the people sitting on hunger strike in front of the palace gate, and even saw some members of the councilors in it. This is expected!

Why did you come out?

Why can't you calmly face the army beating them with horseshoes and whips?

Give them one last chance!

"Your Majesty..."

"I'll go by myself!"

To interrupt the dissuasion of the waiter, Chen Moran walked decisively towards the sedentary crowd, alone.

When he heard the news that His Majesty came out, Cao Shijing struggled to sit up. With the support of Wei Nan, he sat up. With a blurred vision, he saw a man walking slowly.

"Your Majesty came here alone!"

"This...this is your majesty!"

Wang Haoze looked at His Majesty with reverent eyes. This is his Majesty. His Majesty finally came out. What does it mean? Will Your Majesty compromise? No, he won't! His Majesty will never compromise!

When walking towards people, Chen Moran even regretted why he didn't give the House enough power. If he kicked the ball to them, maybe... But in any case, he could not give up power, because he knew exactly what the future would be like!

I know the future, I know, so I want to... When I walk towards them, looking at those pairs of expectant eyes, Chen Moran sighed in his heart that he must not compromise. If they attack themselves... Maybe, this is a solution to the problem.

"Your Majesty!"

Although not everyone, the people who can stand up stand up stand up and salute respectfully. Among these people, even the most determined members of the republican faction do not have much evil feelings for the emperor in front of them, and at the same time maintain heartfelt respect. The reason why they came here is to some extent, the same It comes from a kind of respect and trust.

"Free gift!"

Chen Moran, who made a reconciliation gesture, came to the young people in person. After they saluted, he waved his right hand slightly.

"Your Majesty, we hope..."

Without waiting for their representative to finish speaking, Chen Moran stretched out his hand and interrupted his words.

"I'm here, but I don't mean compromise!"

A sentence, spit out from Chen Moran's mouth, looking at the young people who have no strength to sleep on the ground in front of them, looking at the sick faces, I can't help feeling a burst of heartache, these people... "You, accuse me of reading! Accuse me of trampling on civil rights and playing with the constitution, but..."

With a little hand and pointing to these students, Chen Moran's face was full of anger.

"If I trample on civil rights, you have already been stained with blood here. If I play with the constitution, how can you have the opportunity to kidnap the political axe? Well, someone starved to death yesterday. You got what you wanted. You used to starve yourself to death, kidnap public opinion, and kidnap me. So far, there have been several places to respond to your shouts, and a few people have heard. At your will!"

Reprimanding these people, the anger that had been pressing on Chen Moran's heart for several days was burning more and more. He stared at the students in front of him. When a person faced his eyes, Chen Moran would look directly at him until he timidly turned his eyes away.

"You say, you are following the public opinion. Where is the public opinion? The hearts of the people are there! Tell me!" "

Everyone was shocked. They looked around at their friends and classmates, as if they wanted to find their confidence.

"If 50 million people out of thousands oppose me, I should abdication, whether it is a republic or an imperial system, and then it is decided by public opinion. I never force it or coerce it. What about you? Taking life as a weapon and pity as the quality, such thoughts are really the heart that can be killed!"

He snorted and stared at the young man who had previously petitioned him.

"Some people advise me to kill you, etc., to uphold the constitutional power. Yes, you and others take life as a weapon, pity as the hostage, and their hearts can be killed. However, your rights are all protected by the Constitution. I am the respect of the Constitution. I have no intention to prevent it. The villains are protected by the military and police to protect the Constitution. Otherwise, how can you sit here peacefully? Just support The people of the Constitution can disperse you. Originally, I did not intend to interfere with your freedom, but since you do not cherish your own bodies and want to kidnap the mercy of others with your life, "

sneering, Chen Moran looked at these people sarcastically.

"I am the emperor of the Chinese Empire. I should regard the Chinese people as my family and love the people as I love my family. At this time, I can't be silent. Now that I'm here, I'll tell you!"

Everyone pricked up their ears, not only these hunger strikers, but also those onlookers and the soldiers and police who maintain order. Of course, for those Chinese and foreign journalists who have been waiting for the big news, they will listen to your majesty's words word for word. He will listen to your majesty's words. The dissatisfaction in our hearts that your majesty has been avoiding has completely disappeared.

"I come today, and there is only one order. Yes, it is an order. The conditions you put forward, I and the cabinet, will not be considered! Now, leave immediately. There is a special car to see you off when you should go to the hospital. If you can walk around, go to dinner immediately!"

He gave the order harshly, and Chen Moran changed his claim.

"You don't care about your body. As a parent, I have to do my parental power! So that you don't starve your body and starve yourself to death,"

"Your Majesty, don't wait for me to be hungry, but me..."

Before they finished speaking, Chen Moran laughed and stared at a student.

"Do you know how Yanjing's roast duck is fed?"

Everyone was stunned. When people who knew it listened to this, they were stunned first and then smiled.

"If you don't want me to feed you as a duck, go to dinner!"

At this point, Chen Moran's face was rigid.

"This is the last time I see you here and your last chance..."

While talking, he looked at the watch, and Chen Moran looked at the crowd.

"In another half an hour, the cavalry division will drive into the city. In addition to the saber, each of them also brought a bamboo tube to feed the duck!"

Listening that the cavalry division was about to enter the city, although there was the bamboo tube that fed the ducks, no one could laugh.

"Now, I order you to withdraw and eat immediately!"

As soon as the voice fell, Chen Moran turned around and walked to the palace gate.

"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid of blood staining the palace gate?"

The voice behind him made Chen Moran pause slightly, but he left a word without looking back.

"At that time, I will take the first shot!"

After spitting out a sentence, Chen Moran no longer hesitated to walk towards the palace. His pace was different from the heavy one who walked out of the palace door before, and his footsteps became much easier. In any case, he gave them the last chance. Whether they could seize it or not depends on their own choices. The benevolence has been exhausted, and more than half At this time... At this time, the sun had risen, and the sun shone on His Majesty. Looking at the white military uniform dyed golden by the morning sun, all the people looked at His Majesty's back. No one would doubt Your Majesty's determination. Your Majesty has made a choice. If they end this farce, then... Wei Nan and Wang Haoze People looked at each other, and then looked at Cao Shijing, who was supported by them. The two silently helped him walk out. At this time, Cao Shijing did not struggle, but just let them help themselves leave here. Those who could walk looked left and right, and then left silently, although some were unwilling. The sound of a sigh.

"Classmates, friends, we..."

Seeing that people got up and left one after another, while the hospital's medical staff and soldiers carried some people away on stretchers, Ma Yueqing quickly shouted loudly, trying to prevent people from leaving. What's wrong? Why as soon as your majesty came out, just a few words, they were about to... give up!

No, absolutely not, they... At this moment, there was a deafening sound of horses' hoofs in the air. It was the sound of thousands of troops and horses galloping. The words to their mouths were swallowed up by Ma Yueqing. He, he really sent troops!

Although he hoped in his heart that the man would send an army to suppress it, when he really heard the sound of the horses's hoof, his pale and sick face became paler. His lips trembled gently, and he didn't know whether he had no strength to support or trembled with fear.

In the morning sun, the horses were running on the Guangfu Avenue, and the sabers in the hands of the cavalry reflected the sun, and the people could not open their eyes. Everyone who saw this scene was stunned by the cavalry attacking in front of them, and the scene in front of their hearts was shocked.

Standing on the balcony on the third floor of the government building and looking at the empty palace square, Chen Moran, who was expressionless, just looked at it quietly, but in just a few minutes, the crowd who had fought to the death dispersed. On the Guangfu Avenue in front of the palace, the cavalry riding on horseback held sabres and looked at Gongqian Guang motionlessly. The field.

"Your Majesty, if they don't leave, you will really..."

With the voice behind him and the strange title, Chen Moran was stunned at first, and then sighed in his heart. Maybe from today on, he is the real emperor of this empire. Maybe he didn't make a choice until today.

Seeing that her father-in-law did not answer her questions, Ji Li stepped forward, and she didn't know why she changed her title. From the time she learned that her father-in-law had decided to send troops to suppress it, she understood that her father-in-law was no longer the father-in-law of the past. He was just the emperor of the Chinese Empire!

He looked down at the cavalry on Guangfu Avenue. In meditation, his eyes looked a little complicated, but his face maintained the most fundamental majesty of the empire.

"Do you know what will happen if I send troops?"

Ji Li shook her head.

"I will lose my empire!"

The hesitation in his eyes disappeared here, and Chen Moran's expression also became resolute. He pointed to the cavalry on the Avenue of Light Restoration. Chen Moran said lightly.

"I will never give up my empire!"

Yes! Never give up. In the future, this empire will become the most powerful country in the world, and you will be the most powerful empire in this country. Perhaps, no one will understand your choice now, but in the end, history will prove how correct your choice today is!

"So..."

Although she knew that her father-in-law had become the emperor that people expected, Ji Li couldn't help asking another thing.

"Your Majesty, did they really bring a bamboo tube to feed the ducks?"

In the face of his wife's question, Chen Moran did not answer, but quietly looked at his soldiers. They were his most reliable strength! Once again, they proved their loyalty!

"Wow!"

He took a long breath, held a saber on his shoulder, and looked at the empty palace. Fang Zhiqiang's heart, which had been hanging all the time, was finally put down. Fortunately, today, at least today, there will be no bleeding here.

"If they didn't disperse, would you shoot?"

When he asked this question to himself in his heart, Fang Zhiqiang laughed at himself again. There was no need to ask. He also knew the answer. If he did not get further orders, he would teach those "rebellions" with sabre and pistols without hesitation. This is just a battlefield with different locations. For the army For people, many problems are so simple.

For soldiers, there are only two words - orders!

He held the helmet on his head with his left hand. Mao Zhiheng looked at the people in the square who had not yet dispersed. Those people were not demonstrators. They just looked at themselves and their subordinates.

He looked back at the government building. Mao Zhiheng saw His Majesty and the Queen standing on the balcony. His Majesty's face seemed to have a smile on his face, which was a smile at his soldiers.

"Turn back!"

A command roared from Mao Zhiheng's voice, but in just a few seconds, the cavalry skillfully turned around, all facing the government building and your majesty on the balcony.

"Salute to Your Majesty!"

"Loyalty!"

The roar of thousands of cavalry swung before the palace. The cavalry with swords looked up at their majesty on the balcony. That was their majesty, the majesty of the soldiers!

"Long live Your Majesty!"

"Long live!"

In the voice of the officers and soldiers, holding the iron railing of the balcony, Chen Moran stretched out his hand and waved to his soldiers.

"Today, I have made a choice. It's really not easy!"

While there was a sigh in my heart, there was a smile on the face that deliberately maintained its majesty. This smile was sent to the soldiers, and it was also a relieved smile.

"I know what my mission is."

My mission is to defend this empire and lead the country to strength, so that the country can enjoy dignity, glory and... contemplation, Chen Moran glanced at his wife. Today is the first time she calls herself Your Majesty. Maybe something is doomed.

Looking deeply at his wife, Chen Moran turned around and left the balcony. What he was waiting for was the whole empire, as for other...
