As soon as Mu Hu's press conference ended, the entire Ming Dynasty fell into a boil. [！！！！ The Cabinet urgently convened an imperial meeting to discuss how to deal with the sudden situation. And the world is once again turning its attention to the East.

The reaction of the people was more lively. The evening newspapers of the day immediately reacted and organized a batch of articles for discussion with lightning speed, and those morning newspapers, double daily newspapers, and weekly magazines were not far behind, and they launched their extra issues one after another to join the battle for readers. "The Voice of Jinling" and "The Voice of China" also immediately sang a duet, inviting leaders of non-governmental political organizations, political commentators, university professors, columnists, political writers, and so on to have a heated discussion. From time to time, the discussion paused, and the latest news that had just been received was urgently inserted......

A political feast was officially served in front of the people.

The mainstream opinion is: The Ming Dynasty should not hesitate to recover the whole territory, and cannot engage in a country within a country. However, this does not mean that the people completely and unconditionally support the Ming government. Most people hope to take this as an opportunity to promote the process of constitutional reform in the Ming Dynasty. At the very least, let the government and the royal family come up with a timetable. Many people marching and rallying even shouted the slogan "Please learn from Muhu". Some of the more radical people directly supported Muhu's "republic". In interviews with newspapers on the streets, they even said they would consider emigrating in a few years. Because the conditions over there are poor, but at least they can give us votes. Well, everything will be fine......

At the pre-imperial meeting, Shen Rongxuan showed his hard-liner nature. He said categorically:

"Your Majesty, ladies and gentlemen, we must not now be caught up in the entanglement of 'constitutional' or 'republican'. Now is the time of war, and we are the victors, the strong, and we want to end the war as soon as possible, and not be led by the nose by that careerist. On the one hand, we should immediately announce to the outside world that we will not tolerate anyone splitting the country for any reason, and on the other hand, we should send someone to Beijing to get in touch with Mu Hu and see what he wants. This kind of person often speaks well on the scene, but it is for their own interests. We should keep him sober. ”

Li Gaoting, Minister of the 6th Army, interjected:

"Your Majesty, Elder Ge, the old minister has an idea, or it can be called perfect."

Shen Rongxuan said:

"Master Li, please speak."

"The old minister thought about it, and Mu Hu also knew that he didn't have a few soldiers, and he couldn't resist us, so he desperately grasped the moral high ground and squeezed us with beautiful words in front of the whole world. We can do what others do and publicly state that we support holding a referendum in Beijing, where Beijing citizens have one vote and let the votes speak. It is supervised by the representatives of the League of Nations and the press corps of various countries to see whether the people of Beijing are willing to be citizens of the Ming Dynasty now, or whether they are willing to follow him Muhu as citizens of the 'republic'. This will keep everyone's mouth shut. Moreover, the determination of the self-determination of ethnic groups in disputed areas is also in line with international practice. ”

Shen Rongxuan was noncommittal, but looked around and said with a smile:

"What do you think?"

Foreign Minister He Ziguang spoke:

"Lord Li, hehe, the old man has a different view from you. This method itself is not bad, and as you said, it can block everyone's mouths, and it is basically certain that Mu Hu will not win. But it's too early to do that. The situation is not there yet. The old man believes that we should now firmly grasp the rigid principle of 'the country must not be divided', and the rest should not be entangled. Master Li is right, Mu Hu and the others know that they have no chance of winning, and now they are looking forward to us entanglement with him in theory. He still has a lot of money in that way. Didn't Mu Hu say that he didn't resist? Okay, we should send troops directly into the city now and take control of Beijing. As for what your Muhu's reform plan is, after we take control of Beijing, we can still study it together, and if it is good, we will still adopt it. However, if you want to use Beijing City to blackmail us and do things to split the country, it will not work! ”

After He Ziguang finished speaking, many ministers nodded in agreement. Shen Rongxuan also smiled and nodded:

"That's what I mean, too."

Zhu Yourong, who was sitting upright on the seat, didn't say a word from beginning to end. Now, she hesitated and nodded. However, in my heart, I always felt that there seemed to be something missing from the discussions of these ministers. In other words, it is deliberately avoiding something. Zhu Yourong also wanted to interject several times, but he didn't know what was going on, and he never mustered up the courage.

……

The next day, on the morning of March 6, a chief's car approached the city wall of Beijing from a distance, with a flag planted on it, flapping fiercely in the wind.

The Praetorian Guards stationed on the city wall of Beijing became nervous, that is, they pulled the bolt at the same time with heavy machine guns and aimed at the car. A platoon commander stood at the head of the city, and through the binoculars, he saw that there were four people sitting in the commander's car, one of whom was an officer, all in the uniform of the Ming army. The small flag fluttering on the car is not a white flag, but a Ming military flag.

This posture is obviously coming to negotiate. Moreover, they had already passed through the position of the Eight Banners Legion, and they were obviously let go of them from the front. But according to the rules, the negotiation has to be under a white flag. The car didn't even hit the white flag, so it drove straight over.

The Ming and Qing dynasties did not officially sign any armistice documents, which means that even if they shoot now, it is justified.

However, the platoon commander in charge of this section did not dare to give the order to shoot. He held the binoculars and stared nervously at the Ming army commander's car getting closer and closer, until there was still a few hundred meters away, and then he shouted:

"No fire! No fire! …… Who dared to shoot Lao Tzu killed him! ”

Even if he is a platoon commander, he can figure out the reason here: eighty percent of it is a flaw sold by the Ming army, leading the Qing army to take the initiative to attack, and then the Ming army will have a reason to attack Beijing......

A number of eyes and guns on the walls kept an eye on the car until it drove under the city gate, then stopped, and honked its horn impatiently.

The Praetorian Platoon Commander shouted down:

"What for? Is it here to negotiate? ”

The Ming army driver below honked his horn again, raised his head and shouted:

"No, it's an ultimatum!"

"Ultimatum?" The platoon commander of the Qing army shouted down, "What is an ultimatum? ”

There was a burst of laughter from below the city gates.

Then, the Ming officer laughed and said:

"The ultimatum is to limit you to what you want to do, or else we will give you as you are! It's called an ultimatum! Do you understand? Open the gates! ”

A group of Qing soldiers above the city looked at each other. A few seconds later, the platoon commander shouted:

"Open the gates!"

……

In a waiting room at the Praetorian Guard headquarters, the Ming captain sat straight on the sand with a briefcase in his hand.

The door opened.

The captain of the Ming army turned his head to look, but did not see Mu Hu, but a group of foreign reporters rushed in, surrounded the captain, and shouted all kinds of broken Chinese at the same time. Several magnesium lights also flashed, and for a moment the room was choked with white smoke.

"Mr. Captain, may I ask if your army accepts General Mu's suggestion?"

"Mr. Captain, I heard you're here to deliver an ultimatum?"

"Does this mean that the Ming side rejected Mu's request for democratic-democratic reform?"

"Do you think that famous sentence of Her Majesty the Empress of your country is empty talk now?"

……

This Ming army captain had never seen such a large formation, and he did not expect that he would suddenly be surrounded by a large group of foreign reporters in the headquarters, so he panicked and was at a loss at this time.

At the end of the group of reporters, Mu Hu came in with a smile.

When the captain of the Ming army caught a glimpse of him, he immediately stood up, squeezed through the group of reporters, and shouted:

"General Mu! On behalf of our army, I have come to talk to the general, and I have to ask ...... To submit a document to the general......"

Mu Hu said with a smile:

"Okay, what do you want to talk about? Let's talk. What documents to submit? Submit it. It is here, in front of the eyes of the people of the world, that we speak openly. ”
