Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Guan Xuqing leaned down and said to Yuan Shikai: "I have given you a chance, and I also want to make good use of your talents to serve the empire wholeheartedly, but as for you, alas...you have disappointed me so much."

Yuan Shikai lay on the ground and kept kowtowing his head, saying in his mouth: "The guilty minister knows his mistakes, and the guilty minister does not ask for anything else but a quick death."

Guan Xuqing sneered: "Yuan Shikai, you are doomed. Before you die, I have a secret to tell you." He whispered a few words in Yuan Shikai's ear.Yuan Shikai didn't stop talking, but when he heard this, his face turned ashen with fright, and he stared blankly at the emperor, his lips trembling, but he couldn't say a word.

Guan Xuqing stood up straight, immediately regained the majesty of the emperor, and said loudly: "Yuan Shikai has committed a heinous crime, and I have decided to punish you by Ling Chi outside the Governor's Mansion at noon tomorrow!"

Yuan Shikai lay limp on the ground, his eyes turned white, and the muscles on his face twisted together in fear. Several soldiers rushed in, picked him up and dragged him out of the hall.

In the afternoon of the same day, under the auspices of Guan Xuqing, notices were issued in various parts of Singapore to inform the citizens of the city that Yuan Shikai and other rebellious prisoners will be punished tomorrow at noon.As soon as the news came out, the people who had gathered in Johor Bahru returned to their residences, and with the help of the soldiers, they rebuilt their homes and lived in peace.The order in Singapore was in order for a while.

The next day, on July 1902, 7, there was a huge crowd of people outside the Governor's Mansion in Singapore. Almost all the people in the city came to watch after hearing the news. On the beheading stage, the common people couldn't restrain their inner admiration. They all shouted long live, and Guan Xuqing nodded kindly to the common people.

Two soul chasing cannons sounded, Yuan Shikai, Yuan Keding, Yuan Kewen, Duan Zhigui, Liang Shiyi, Lu Zongyu and others were all escorted by the prison guards to the execution ground, and stood according to their positions. Stand behind you and wait for execution.According to the emperor's will, Yuan Shikai, his father and son will be sentenced to Lingchi for their heinous crimes, and the remaining 240 eight rebellious prisoners will be executed by beheading.

At this time, a thick wooden pole with forks had been erected in front of the execution ground. After a while, the three executioners who carried out the death sentence also came. Each of them brought a small basket with Hook and blade.The executioners took out the iron hooks and sharp blades, and put them on the sand to grind them very sharp.The jailer put Yuan Shikai and his son in a big basket, and took off their hats, shoes and socks.

Yuan Shikai seemed to have aged dozens of years overnight. He raised his blurred eyes and looked around, only to see tens of thousands of onlookers blocking the surrounding roads and empty spaces, and the nearby roofs were covered with people.

At this time, Feng Xianghua got up and came to the court to read the imperial decree loudly. Due to the noise of people around him, people couldn't hear what he was reading. They only heard his last sentence: "According to the law, you should be cut three thousand six hundred knives." The executioners echoed in unison, their voices were like thunder, and the surrounding crowd were all terrified and their legs trembled.

With a "bang", three soul chasing guns rang out, and the execution began.The crowd became even more agitated. Some people crawling on the roof stood up and stretched their necks, wanting to see how the executioner cut people.However, due to the airtight surroundings of the nearby people, the execution scene could not be seen a little further away.

After a long time, I saw a rope hanging from the thick wooden pole with forks. Someone pulled the rope behind the wooden pole, and something was lifted from the other end of the rope. It was dripping with blood. It turned out to be human lungs and Liver, has been suspended to the highest point of the wooden pole.This shows that the prisoner's flesh has been cut, and the internal organs have been removed.After a while, the rope on the wooden pole was lowered, the liver and lungs were removed, and another human head was hung up, which indicated that the heads of Yuan Shikai and his son had been beheaded and hung up for public display.Then, they hung up Yuan Shikai's obese body, put his chest against the wooden pole, and turned his back to the crowd. Everyone saw that the muscles on his back were cut into strands, but not cut off, thousands of strands. Dense clusters, like hedgehogs.At this time, Ling Chi's punishment was announced to be over, and the three executioners waved red flags, came to Guan Xuqing and said respectfully: "I report to the emperor, Yuan Shikai, who was a prisoner, received [-] knives, and Yuan Keding and Yuan Kewen each received [-] knives." .”

Guan Xuqing waved his hand, which means he understands.

After killing Yuan's father and son, the executioner on the execution ground yelled, raised his knife and dropped it, and more than 200 bloody heads rolled down on the platform...

Resurgence: The Second World War Chapter 5-[-] October Revolution

After Guan Xuqing dealt with the matter of exterminating Yuan, he summoned Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang, who had been imprisoned by Yuan Shikai for more than 20 days, and highly commended their loyalty. He immediately proposed to appoint Duan Qirui as the governor of Singapore. The rank of general remained in Indonesia, and Cai E was promoted to the governor of Malaysia.Duan Qirui and others were grateful, and immediately set about rebuilding Singapore and restoring social order.

Guan Xuqing also ordered the military command to commend the ministers of the land, sea and air forces in the campaign to suppress Yuan.Yuan Shikai's rebellion finally came to an end.

But at this time, the world situation has been surging, the progress of historical development is accelerating, and the butterfly effect is infinitely magnified.

General von Ludendorff, chief of staff of the German army, published the famous military theory book "Total War". Not long after the new government was established, the passionate and warlike Germans began to focus on war again. burning in Germany.

Ludendorff expounded a war thesis with a vision of the future: first, both war and politics should be subordinated to national survival, but war is the highest expression of national survival will.So politics should serve combat.Second, the basis of the general war is the spiritual unity of the nation.Third, implement the militarization of the national economy.The peacetime economy is transformed into wartime, and important materials such as food, clothing, and fuel must be stored in large quantities in peacetime, and the issuing banks should be placed under the authority of the central government to strive for self-sufficiency in war materials, expand the armament industry, and prepare for long-term wars.Fourth, military operations must implement the principles of coordination, suddenness, and swiftness.It is necessary to select the most dangerous enemy as the main target, invest the largest force in the decisive area, and carry out the heaviest blow.Fifth, we must establish a dictatorial war command system, with people who have excellent qualities such as outstanding talents, strong character, abundant energy, and keen observation skills as commanders.

The differences between Hindenburg and Ludendorff in terms of military strategy became more and more serious, and Ludendorff desperately hoped to find a military wizard who understood military affairs to take over Hindenburg's position.Who could this person be?

After the establishment of the Bolshevik organization, the working class movement in Russia was surging. Facing such a large-scale movement, the Russian Provisional Government initially suppressed it and later concealed it, but it was difficult to stop this momentum of development.The purpose of the Russian labor movement is very clear, that is to overthrow the decadent, degenerate, and interim government that is dependent on Chinese forces. Russia needs a regime that can speak for the majority of the people. Of course, there is one person behind this movement. It is Lenin!

Lenin was 32 years old this year, and he temporarily lived in the home of a watchmaker in Zurich in Geneva. The Swiss are not indifferent to politics, but they are unwilling to ask about political issues that have nothing to do with them. In their view, each side has its own Reason, let history judge who is right and who is wrong. It is better to maintain a neutral attitude.

When China was busy with natural and man-made disasters, Ludendorff hoped to reach a certain consensus with the Russian Provisional Government and win over the puppet government by the way, but the other party refused several times. No matter what difficulties China is facing, the Russian government does not intend to abandon this backer. The Russians will never want to see the outbreak of the second Sino-Russian war.

Angrily, Ludendorff began to look for enemies of the Russian government and planned to support them, so he set his sights on the Bolsheviks, especially the leader of this new party, Lenin.

During Lenin's stay in Switzerland, Ludendorff provided Lenin with many political campaign assistance through the German military, and also won Lenin's favor. The two exchanged letters many times, and they seemed to have become political friends.At Lenin's request, Ludendorff assisted him to the Swiss port city of Zassnitz and from there to Malmo, Sweden.The German government asked the Swedish government to transport the professional revolutionary Lenin to Helsinki, the capital of Finland, which was still a province of Russia at that time.The German Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a note: "If the neutral country does not allow the Russians to enter Sweden, the Supreme Command will consider arranging for Lenin and his party to enter Russia through the German defense line."

No country in Europe would turn a deaf ear to the demands of the Germans, let alone a small Sweden. Under pressure from the German government, the Swedish government quickly allowed the professional revolutionary Lenin to cross the border.

After everything was ready, Lenin took the Scandinavian Express back to Petrograd and got off early at the Finnish railway station.In order to avoid the arrest of the Russian provisional government, Lenin wore a beard and a wig there, and the train driver also released a lot of steam for him in order to cover up.

Trotsky, who was the chairman of the Petrograd Soviet at the time, came to the Finnish train station in person to be responsible for Lenin's safety. Trotsky was a Jew and was extremely loyal to Lenin.At the Second Congress of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party this year, Trotsky was elected Chairman of the Petrograd Soviet and Chairman of the Revolutionary Military Council of the Petrograd Soviet.But he is very clear that these all come from Lenin. Without Lenin, his own power, Bolsheviks, Soviets, etc., everything will cease to exist.

After returning to Petrograd, Trotsky let Lenin hide in the Smolny Women's Academy near the Proletarian Dictatorship Square, which was originally given by Empress Catherine to her old lover, Duke Potemkin "One-eyed Beast". "Bedroom".Now, thanks to the arrival of Lenin, it has become the center of Soviet power throughout Russia.A red storm sweeping across Russia will start from here!

On June 6 of that year, representatives from various Soviets held the First All-Russian Congress of Soviets in Petrograd. After elections, the Bolsheviks won 16 of the 822 seats.At the meeting, Lenin delivered a very appealing speech: "...the turning point in the entire history of the Russian revolution has arrived. The British imperialist bourgeoisie helped the Russian revolution happen. The British imperialist bourgeoisie thought that Russia is about the same as China or India. But no, in addition to a government now dominated by landowners and capitalists, Russia has produced such representative bodies as Soviets, which in terms of strength have never been heard or seen in the world. If you join the bourgeois coalition cabinet, you are killing this representative body, which no working people wants to see. The Russian Revolution also managed to make the revolutionary struggle against the capitalist government from below gain great success in every country. Great sympathy. The question now is: to advance or to retreat. It is impossible to stand still in the revolutionary period. What I want to say now is that the offensive was a turning point in the entire Russian revolution in a political and economic sense. Now the To attack means to continue the imperialist massacre, to continue to awaken hundreds of thousands or millions of people for the rise of the great Russian nation. To transfer power to the hands of the revolutionary proletariat with the support of the poor peasants is to transfer power to the The revolutionary struggle for peace, conducted in the surest and least painful manner in the history of mankind, will guarantee power and victory not only in Russia but throughout the world!"

This speech was considered a militant call for the Soviets to launch an offensive against the Provisional Government.

Lenin was indicted by the Provisional Government on charges of inciting Russian workers to mutiny and bizarre espionage, while the revolutionary militant Trotsky was arrested.Lenin moved to the Finnish forest under the protection of the Soviet leadership.Stalin traveled between Petrograd and the Lake District, acting as a liaison between the Politburo and Lenin.

That night, the last passenger train left the Petrograd Seaside Railway Station.Among the passengers was a man dressed as a Finnish farmer who got off at Razlev not far from the Finnish border. He was Lenin!The sparkling lake of Razreef.Lenin lived in a hut by the lake.There is a kitchen in the straw hut: a log is supported by two tree branches, and a small pot is hung on it.In front of the thatched shed, an open space was cleared, and two tree stumps were placed, one as a table and the other as a stool.Lenin humorously called it "my green office".

Here, he carefully read every newspaper published in Petrograd and analyzed the revolutionary situation. Representatives of the Central Committee of the Bolshevik Party often came here to report on their work and listen to instructions.The bonfire on the shore of Razlev Lake is particularly bright in the dark night. It is connected with the fate of the world proletarian revolution. Lenin worked hard and thought hard here, and wrote the glorious Marxist book "State and Revolution".

In late June, the secret agents of the provisional government stared at the shore of Razreef Lake.According to the instructions of the Party Central Committee, Lenin disguised himself as a railway worker, avoided the surveillance of the reactionary authorities, and arrived in Helsinki.

On July 7, Lev Davidovich Blomstein, a Jew under the pseudonym "Trotsky", Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, under the pseudonym "Lenin", and Roshi, under the pseudonym "Stalin", 5 people, including husband Vissarionovich Djugashvili, secretly sneaked back to the home of the female revolutionary Galina Sukhanova in Petrograd to plot a rally. Since Lenin was wanted, this time they wore colored glasses and Long wig. "Stalin" is Djugashvili's sixth alias, which means steel.

At the rally, Lenin announced that the Bolsheviks, who accounted for a minority of the Social Democratic Party, had no chance of winning the all-Russian government elections starting in November, so they must seize power by force. Other representatives, including Stalin, suspected that Lenin was out of his mind.But Lenin said with great foresight: "Without revolutionary public opinion, there will be no revolutionary action..." Then he solemnly declared: "The socialist revolution on a world scale begins now!"

Two days later, Lenin ordered the uprising through Trotsky, and the cruiser Aurora was ordered to fire at the Winter Palace, the seat of the Provisional Government. "Aurora" was built and launched in Petersburg in May 1900, with a displacement of 5 tons, a speed of 6731 knots, and a crew of 20 on board.This warship has long been in the hands of the Soviet regime. At this time, the ship is undergoing routine maintenance in the dock. Now it suddenly received an order to fire. Shot out towards the night sky. "Aurora" then used the ship's radio to broadcast Lenin's "Report to the Citizens of Russia", announcing that "the provisional government has been overthrown, and state power has been transferred to the Petrograd Soviet of Workers' and Soldiers' Representatives, which leads the Petrograd proletariat. In the hands of the Military Revolutionary Committee of the class and the garrison, the socialist revolution on a world scale has begun!"

ps: Don’t take this chapter as real history, it has been greatly changed.

Uprising: World War II Chapter 5 Red Storm

However, the incompetent provisional government was asleep like an ignorant girl in the Gospel, unaware of the current fierce revolutionary situation in Russia, armed sailors and unarmed men climbed to the south bank of the Neva River and jumped into the Winter Palace through the rear window , without any resistance, the ministers awaiting general elections were arrested and driven out.Interim Prime Minister Kerensky fled to the neighboring US embassy.According to local media afterwards, there were less than five casualties during the whole process. One person sprained his ankle by jumping out of the window, one person was injured by a bullet hitting the ceiling and rebounded from the front door, and three people were accidentally injured by the ricochet hitting the floor.

Amidst the rumble of cannons attacking the Winter Palace, the Second All-Russian Congress of Soviets opened in the Smolny Palace. The Congress first passed the "Message to Workers, Soldiers and Peasants" drafted by Lenin, declaring that all power in all regions would be transferred Soviets of Workers, Peasants and Soldiers' Deputies.The Congress adopted the "Peace Decree" and "Land Decree" drafted by Lenin. The "Peace Decree" exposed imperialist predatory wars and reflected the working people's urgent desire for peace. The "Land Decree" stipulates that the land ownership system of landlords shall be abolished immediately, and all land shall be nationalized and handed over to working peasants for use.Finally, the congress elected the world's first Soviet government of workers, peasants and soldiers - the People's Committee, and Lenin was elected chairman of the People's Committee.The People's Committee consists of ministries that perform various functions of the proletarian state.Stalin was elected People's Commissar for National Affairs and Trotsky was elected People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs.

As the Bolsheviks dissolved the Constituent Assembly by force, the Bolsheviks' sworn enemy, the Socialist Revolutionary Fanny Kaplan, assassinated Lenin, hitting him in the neck and lungs.The secret police "Cheka" led by Dzerzhinsky immediately issued a decree: "All counter-revolutionaries will be killed on the spot." Kaplan was hanged.

Six weeks after Lenin's assassination, the Bolsheviks secretly moved the capital from Petrograd to Moscow.The news of the relocation of the capital was not announced, and the train full of people's commissars drove into the dark night without turning on the headlights. The center of the revolution was moved from Petersburg, the "window to Europe", to the ancient Kremlin in the Principality of Moscow.

After the establishment of the Soviet government, the old state machinery was destroyed, the old government departments, the old courts, and the old police were abolished, and the old army was demobilized.Proceed to establish the ministries of the People's Committee, the People's Court, the Workers' and Peasants' Inspection Office, the Workers' Police, and form a new Workers' and Peasants' Red Army.Abolished the old hierarchical system of the imperial Russian period, announced the equality of rights of people of all nationalities in the country, equality of men and women, and abolished all privileges of the church; the Soviet regime took over banks, railways, and factories.Later, large industries were nationalized, foreign trade was monopolized, and the eight-hour work system was implemented, with workers supervising production.Confiscate the land of the landlords, the royal family, and the monasteries, and distribute it to the peasants for cultivation; abolish all foreign debts owed by the tsar and the bourgeois provisional government, so that the Soviet people will not be exploited by foreign capital.In order to consolidate the revolutionary regime, the All-Russian Cheka, chaired by Dzerzhinsky, was established to resolutely suppress the sabotage activities of counter-revolutionaries.

Thus, after the Paris Commune, the second proletarian regime was formally established!

Under the influence of the October Revolution, the red storm in Europe began to erupt in the Austro-Hungarian Empire after brewing.

On March 1903, 3, Hungary established the Republic of Soviets, established the first country in Europe under the dictatorship of the proletariat, and ended the 21-year rule of the Habsburg family over Hungary.

The revolutionary background in Hungary is not complicated. In the world war, although the Austro-Hungarian Empire was the victorious country, don’t forget that the Austro-Hungarian Empire survived in the cracks of Germany and followed the Germans to pick up some bargains.In addition, Emperor Franz of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was extravagant and extravagant, which caused a huge burden on people's lives and the domestic economy. After the war, the country's economy not only failed to achieve considerable development, but was dragged into the quagmire by the post-war economic crisis , unable to extricate themselves for a long time, the people's livelihood is in decline, even to the point of devastation.There is also the red leader Lenin who has been active in Europe all year round. His revolutionary theory has influenced many European radicals. The Austro-Hungarian Empire took the lead in establishing the Communist Party before Russia, and actively organized the labor movement secretly. The red forces are slowly Penetrate nationwide.

The October Revolution was like a catalyst, and the Hungarian people's revolutionary sentiment was high, and they strongly demanded to "take the way of the Russians".The Hungarian Communist Party put forward the socialist revolutionary slogan of "disarming imperialism, arming the proletariat, and establishing Soviet power" to wage an all-out struggle against Franz's government.Finally, on March 3, the Hungarian Communist Party and the Social Democratic Party jointly seized power and announced the establishment of the Hungarian Soviet Republic with its capital in Budapest. Commissioner, the two parties merged into the Hungarian Socialist Party, confiscated the property of the Habsburg family, and drove the old and incompetent Emperor Franz out of Hungary. Since then, His Majesty the Emperor began a long career in exile.

After the establishment of the Soviet Republic, it immediately set out to establish the dictatorship of the proletariat, smashed the old state machinery in accordance with the principles of the Paris Commune, and carried out socialist transformation in the economic field. On March 3, urban and rural general elections will be held, the Red Army will be recruited, the red civilian police will be established to replace the old police and gendarmerie, the revolutionary courts and anti-revolutionary committees will be organized, and industrial and mining enterprises, transportation industries, commerce and all uses will be announced to employ more than 7 workers. Profitable capitalist enterprises are nationalized.It was stipulated that all real estate with an area exceeding 20 Holts should be nationalized, and production cooperatives should be established.In order to improve the lives of the working people, the Hungarian Soviet government adopted a series of measures: implementing an 100-hour working day; nearly doubling the wages of workers; workers enjoying disease and work-related injury insurance; eliminating slums, confiscating capitalists’ houses and distributing them to the proletarians, etc.

The Russian October Revolution and the establishment of the Hungarian Soviet Republic shocked the world, and the news quickly spread to Beijing. There were key members of the cabinet including Liang Qichao, Feng Xianghua, Xu Shichang, Liu Buchan, Lin Jianzhang, Zhao Bingjun, Wu Tingfang, etc. Liang Qichao reported the matter to the emperor , There was a long silence after that, everyone present held their breath, watching the emperor's reaction.

"What should come will always come." Guan Xuqing unknowingly said what Yuan Shikai said before. Not only did he not have the slightest regret or fear, but his eyes glowed brightly, "A flood, a civil war. The empire is struggling to cope. During this period, countries around the world have undergone tremendous changes. Many things have already happened, and it is impossible to change them. This red storm will not stop here, and the whole of Europe will be affected by it, but Germany It is a dictatorship and resolutely opposes the Communist Party. He will go to the opposite side of Russia. Britain, the United States and France all claim to be highly democratized countries. The country, this is what I am gratified about."

"But... Your Majesty, judging from Lenin's various remarks, this new Soviet government has repeatedly criticized foreign imperialist forces. Although it did not say it explicitly, it is clearly aimed at China. I am afraid that as long as this government exists, there will be It is the biggest obstacle to the development of the empire, even the enemy." Liang Qichao said worriedly.

"Of course, what I mean is that if the Soviets want to establish a country and overthrow the provisional government, of course they must criticize China, because the whole world knows that the so-called provisional government is just a puppet of China, but now it's time for the Soviets to establish a country , They will be very cautious about every policy and move of China. After all, there is such a powerful country in the south of Russia. Lenin is a smart man, and he will not let us become enemies of the new government. The scars of the Sino-Russian war still remain Now, if it is said that Lenin has no fear of the empire, I will not believe anything! So for the Soviets, we still have to wait and see what happens. As long as they show goodwill first, we will recognize this government, otherwise, if it really happens When the time comes, there will be another Sino-Russian war!" Guan Xuqing's eyes were shining brightly, and his tone of voice was aggravated.

"Your Majesty, Germany is now acting very frequently. They have been expanding their military and are still developing new weapons. It is said that the Germans have also built airplanes and are developing aircraft carriers. Their technology in some rifles even surpasses that of our country. It seems that Germany People are getting ready for war again." Feng Xianghua said in a respectful voice.

This time, Guan Xuqing didn't answer right away. After thinking for a while, he said, "The blood of the Germans is naturally warlike. Don't forget that the last world war was initiated by the Germans..."

"The emperor means that there will be World War II?" Liu Buchan was shocked.
