After the breaking of Chenyang City, because the Qing army had already blocked the city gates on its own, the powerful and civil and military officials of the pseudo-Manchukuo Prince Yihuan and the pseudo-Rui Prince Renshou were even unable to escape from the city. They could only raise white flags at home to surrender to the Wu army, and at the last moment they joined the bright and great ranks of the Qing army to fight against rebellion. Only Cao Yuying, the best friend of the Japanese devils, knew that he was guilty and chose to die with his family.

At midnight, the Qing army commander Chonghou also contacted the Wu army commander Cao Yanzhong through the previously protected messenger. After obtaining Cao Yanzhong's promise to ensure his safety in his wealth and life, he issued a surrender order, ordering all the Qing army in Chenyang to put down their weapons and surrender to the Wu army.

He was originally depressed in morale and had no confidence in winning. The situation was hopeless, and the general manager Chonghou took the lead in surrendering. The vast majority of the remaining Qing soldiers naturally made wise choices. A considerable number of Qing soldiers hated the Russian army deeply and were eager to show loyalty. After surrendering, they took the initiative to make a request and actively requested to participate in the battle to siege the remnants of the Tsarist Russian army.

One of the big reasons why the Wu army was able to successfully break the city was that the elite main force of the Tsarist Russian army had been annihilated by the Wu army in the Battle of Dashiqiao. The remaining mobs lacked discipline and experience in large-scale combat, so they failed to play a big role in defending the city. However, even so, with the street fighting fortifications built in advance and retreated to the city with the Tsarist Russian Embassy as the core, the remnants of the Russian army still caused certain casualties to the Wu army in the street fighting. At the same time, the Tsarist Russian Minister Remeni and the Russian acting commander Balanov also sent people to contact the Wu army, demanding that the Wu army temporarily stop the attack and start a ceasefire negotiation with them.

This is also a prestigious trick of Tsarist Russia. As early as the Battle of Yaksa during the Kangmazi period, the Tsarist Russian army had twice been unable to support it, using the excuse of agreeing to negotiate, so they tricked the Qing army to temporarily stop attacking and take the opportunity to survive. The Qing army was also deceived twice, missing the fighter jets to wipe out the invaders twice. At this time, Remeni, Balanov and others used the same trick again. In addition to wanting to survive, the purpose of the remaining troops and weapons was to save the remaining troops and weapons to go north to rest and wait for the opportunity to make a comeback.

Unfortunately, the chief general of the Wu army, Cao Yanzhong, was not Kang Mazi, who was ruthless inside and outside. Wu Chaoyue had issued the highest instructions to try to annihilate the Tsarist Russian army as much as possible, so Cao Yanzhong flatly rejected all the requests of the Russian army. While ordering the Russian army to put down their weapons and surrender unconditionally, he transported artillery into the city and attacked the Russian army camp with all his strength. He would rather cast half of Shenyang into ruins than give in to the invaders. At the same time, he decisively accepted the voluntary request of some of the Qing army surrendered soldiers, and let the Qing army soldiers who had just surrendered also join the battle to siege the Russian army camp.

The Tsarist Russian camp thus ushered in a brutal fierce battle. The artillery fire of the Wu army almost razed all the neighborhoods near the Tsarist Russian Embassy to the ground. The Qing army and the Wu army continued to attack the Tsarist Russian army that was resisting stubbornly. During this period, the Tsarist Russian army sent envoys to demand negotiations many times, but Cao Yanzhong flatly refused and insisted on letting the Tsarist Russian army surrender unconditionally, otherwise it would be wiped out.

Finally, when the fierce battle was clear, when the Wu army completely surrounded the Tsarist Russian Embassy, ​​the Tsarist Russian army, which had suffered 70% casualties, gave up their fantasies, cast out the white flag and put down their weapons to surrender to the Wu army. Remeni and Balanov became prisoners of the Wu army. The puppet Manchukuo court used it to buy countless rare treasures used by the Tsarist Russian army to please the Tsarist Russian army, and it also became the trophy of the Wu army.

As soon as Chenyang was broken, the surrounding Liaoyang, Niuzhuang and Haicheng also chose to surrender to the Wu army one after another. Jing Chun, the Jilin general of the Puppet Manchukuo, also accepted the imperial edict issued by Emperor Qixiang under Chonghou's persuasion, and led the Jilin Qing army to surrender to the Wu army. Tepqin, the Heilongjiang general of the Puppet Manchukuo, was hesitant for a while, but the elite defeated Siberian Russian army could no longer provide him with any substantial help. At the same time, a large number of migrants on the border of Heilongjiang also chose to accept the surrender of the Wu army because they hated the Russian army deeply, and they flatly refused to help the Heilongjiang Qing army fight against the Wu army. Tepqin, who was alone, had no choice but to open the city to surrender when the Wu army was approaching the city of Aihui, and all the three northeastern provinces were revived.

When the news of Tepqin surrendered returned to the capital, the 10th generation of Wild Boar Skin, who was renamed Qixiang, also returned to the capital under the Wu Junli. Wu Chaoyue, who is still shameless in holding the Qing Dynasty flag, personally led all officials to the suburbs to kneel down to greet him, crying loudly to apologize to the eight-year-old Emperor Qixiang, and admitted frankly that he had raised an army to fight against rebellion without the permission of Emperor Qixiang, and was guilty of being arbitrarily abducted by the emperor. He begged Emperor Qixiang to issue an edict immediately and behead him on the spot to serve as a warning.

Wu Chaoyue's hypocritical behavior was of course exchanged for praise, and also made all the civil and military officials kneel down to Emperor Qixiang, crying and plead for Wu Chaoyue's resignation, and plead for Wu Chaoyue's crime of overcoming power. However, what Wu Chaoyue did not expect was that in front of all officials and in front of the ambassadors of Western countries to Beijing, the eight-year-old Emperor Qixiang not only waved his hands repeatedly, but also said directly: "King Zhennan, you have too much credit. I have nothing to reward. I can only abdicate the throne to you. Please be the emperor and be the emperor!"

Unexpectedly, Emperor Qixiang would be so well-behaved and smart. Wu Chaoyue was caught off guard for a moment. When he subconsciously looked at Yan Jingming and Zhou Tenghu who were kneeling beside him, he saw that Yan Zhou and the other two were also surprised. Obviously, he didn't expect Emperor Qixiang to speak so directly. However, when Wu Chaoyue secretly went to see Li Hongzhang, who was next to Emperor Qixiang, just based on the smile in Li Hongzhang's eyes, Wu Chaoyue knew who was the one who was doing this and who had brainwashed Emperor Qixiang.

Then, because when the emperor was a labourer who was worse than a brick-moving migrant worker, Wu Chaoyue certainly refused and kowtowed repeatedly and said, "The emperor forgives his crimes. I dare not obey the orders of death, and I dare not obey the orders of death. The Qing Dynasty is the emperor's country, and I dare not have any inappropriate thoughts. Please take back the orders and enter the palace to prevail. I vow to be loyal to the emperor."

"King Zhennan, you must be the emperor." Emperor Qixiang didn't know how Li Hongzhang had brainwashed on the road, so he took the initiative to walk down the pseudo dragon chariot and said, "King Zhennan, you have great achievements. Only you are qualified to sit in this dragon chariot, come and sit."

As he said that Emperor Qixiang really came to help Wu Chaoyue to sit on the dragon chariot. Wu Chaoyue was so scared that he kowtowed repeatedly and refused. The civil and military officials next to him rushed to ask Wu Chaoyue to accept the abdication of Emperor Qixiang, and ascend to the throne and become emperor. He kept shouting to the sound of kowtowing and persuading to advance. In the end, Wu Chaoyue had no choice but to wink at the confidant accomplices such as Yan Jingming and Zhou Tenghu. Yan Zhou and others understood and quickly said that the matter was too big. They also asked Emperor Qixiang to think about it repeatedly, and forced Emperor Qixiang to return to the dragon chariot and enter the capital surrounded by officials.

The farce was not over yet. After entering the city, Emperor Qixiang refused to even enter the palace and insisted on finding a place outside the palace to live. Wu Chaoyue was useless and had to persuade him to agree that Emperor Qixiang would temporarily live in Prince Xian next to the Forbidden City, and then he barely ended this extremely hypocritical abdication farce.

It was still in the evening that Wu Chaoyue took the opportunity to call Li Hongzhang to talk, and asked in a slight manner: "Shaoquan, what the emperor wants to abdicate is what you did, right?"

"King of Zhennan, you are wronged and died!" Li Hongzhang shouted for justice and said, "It was his own decision to abdicate to you. What kind of virtue do I have to make him make such an important decision?"

"Tell me the truth, how did you do it?"

Wu Chaoyue's tone became more serious, and Li Hongzhang also put away his hippie smile and whispered: "It's nothing, I just explained his interests. After all, he grew up in the palace. Although he was only eight years old, he knew a lot. I just said it once, and he understood that if he still wanted to be an emperor, he would just die. Only by abdicating the throne to you can he enjoy wealth and prosperity forever and live a free and comfortable life."

"You are putting me on the stove and baking it!" Wu Chaoyue said in distress: "Don't you know that I have repeatedly vowed not to peek at the throne? Do you want me to break my trust in the world?"

"Weiting, I know you love face and don't want to break your promise, but have you ever considered it? What would it end if you insist on not being the emperor?"

Li Hongzhang looked extremely serious and said, "If you insist on continuing to be a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty, then Emperor Qixiang is still young now, and it is possible to live in peace with you, but what about he growing up? Will he continue to live like this with you? There are fewer examples of powerful ministers in ancient and modern times being killed? Also, so many people follow you to conquer the world. If you don't become the emperor and give them rewards, will they be convinced? Let them continue to receive Emperor Qixiang's edict and accept Emperor Qixiang's rewards. What are you digging a hole and burying yourself?"

Wu Chaoyue was speechless, while Li Hongzhang continued: "Weiting, I know you still have many big things to do, but no matter what big things you do, you must first take over the power and follow the rules! If you insist on putting an emperor on your head for the sake of face, it is equivalent to styling your own elbow and leaving hidden dangers for yourself, and you will only harm yourself in the future!"

"Also, don't tell me about the president of the Western Republic. The Western is the Western, and China is the Chinese. China is used to having only one emperor! If you insist on copying the Western style, you will only imitate the East. Learning to walk in Handan will not only not save China, but may also mislead the country!"

"Stop talking!"

Wu Chaoyue interrupted Li Hongzhang and said hesitantly: "I understand what you said, but this matter is too big, I have to think about it carefully."

"You think carefully and make a decision as soon as possible." Li Hongzhang said in a deep voice: "If nothing unexpected happens, within one or two days, the ministers will submit a letter begging you to ascend the throne. I will also advise Emperor Qixiang to give a formal abdication edict. You have to make up your mind quickly and don't let everyone down."

After being reported by Li Hongzhang, the next day, all kinds of memorials of persuasion flew to Wu Chaoyue like snowflakes, quite a few of them were written in blood. At the same time, under Li Hongzhang's secret persuasion, Emperor Qixiang really asked Li Hongzao, a puppet Manchukuo, who was accompanying him to write a formal abdication edict, covered it with a jade seal and sent it to Wu Chaoyue, and formally begged Wu Chaoyue to ascend the throne. By the way, holding the abdication edict and kneeling in front of Wu Chaoyue, Li Hongzao still said in tears that if Wu Chaoyue did not accept this edict, he would never stand up.

All officials who advised to join are definitely as speculative as Li Hongzao. Many of them really hoped to become emperors. Wu Chaoyue knew very well. Wu Chaoyue really understood all the interests stated by Li Hongzhang. At the same time, as a time traveler, Wu Chaoyue also knew very well that under the current circumstances, the Western democratic republics could not only fail to save China, but would definitely only mislead the country and the people, and might even lead to China's fragmentation and warlords' melee. If you want to develop industry and popularize education, you will bring China into modernization. The only way is to continue the traditional centralized system of China! Let all parts of China not take detours under the leadership of their time traveler, and directly rush to industrialization and modernization, and even the top of the world!

He knew everything and knew everything, but Wu Chaoyue still used the excuse that his ministers could not peek at the throne, and flatly refused to accept the abdication edict that Li Hongzao knelt in front of him with both hands, and asked his personal soldiers to mount Li Hongzao, who was struggling and crying. There was no other reason. Wu Chaoyue said that he would never usurp the throne and become emperor before, and countless civil and military officials chose to stand on the side of Wu's army or surrender to the Wu army for this promise. If Wu Chaoyue broke his promise, he would be a little shameless to meet the world, so even though he was extremely shaken in his heart, Wu Chaoyue still did not accept the abdication edict.

Wu Chaoyue's little thoughts were unable to hide from Yan Jingming, Guo Songtao and Zhang Dejian and other close accomplices, and even more sophisticated and intelligent people such as Li Hongzhang and Zhang Zhidong who were so conscious. However, no matter how they enlightened and persuaded and begged for encouragement, Wu Chaoyue just couldn't help but make this decision. In the end, Li Hongzhang was really helpless and could only ask Wu Chaoyue: "Weiting, what should you do to ascend the throne and become emperor?"

"I need a step, a step that allows me to explain to the people of the world." Wu Chaoyue answered in his heart, but he continued to remain silent. At the same time, Wu Chaoyue was also very confused. He didn't know what kind of step Li Hongzhang and others should find for him to justify himself and accept the abdication of the throne of Emperor Qixiang.

When Wu Chaoyue was confused and hesitant, a big accident happened suddenly. He suddenly came to report that Wu Chaoyue's grandfather Wu Jianzhang, the comprador Wu had already arrived in Tianjin by boat, and was rushing towards the capital by carriage. He was about to arrive at Yongding Gate. Wu Chaoyue was shocked when he heard the news and hurried to Yongding Gate and welcomed the comprador's grandfather.

I don’t know who leaked the news. After Wu Chaoyue arrived at Yongding Gate, many civil and military officials rushed to Yongding Gate to welcome the comprador Wu. At first, Wu Chaoyue didn’t care much. When Wu Chaoyue found that something was wrong and was about to send someone to ask the reason, the carriage that the comprador Wu was riding in had already appeared in the distance of the official road. Wu Chaoyue had no choice but to put this aside for the time being, and walked to meet him. He knelt down at the comprador Wu’s carriage from afar and shouted: “Grandpa! Grandpa! I’m here to pick you up!”

The carriage stopped, and with the help of the follower, the old and thin comprador Wu slowly walked off the carriage, but just smiled at Wu Chaoyue, and tears were already flowing out of his turbid eyes. Wu Chaoyue couldn't help but burst into tears when he saw it. He stepped forward and hugged the comprador Wu's legs, and cried and said, "Grandpa, you are coming to the capital, why don't you tell me in advance? Let me pick you up! Grandpa, you are old and thin again. Is your gonorrhea better?"

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just an occasional attack." Old comprador Wu also had a sob in his voice, supporting Wu Chaoyue and said, "Get up quickly, let grandpa see, see what my grandson, my baby grandson, are now looking like."

In accordance with the requirements of the comprador Wu's comprador Wu, Wu Chaoyue stood up straight and let the comprador Wu see his appearance. The comprador Wu, who had never seen his grandson since he took office in Hubei, was in tears. While looking at his precious grandson up and down, he choked and sighed, "I have grown up and grown up, I can rest assured, I can rest assured."

"Grandpa, it's windy here. Let's go to the city first. Let's talk to the city." Wu Chaoyue said crying, then reached out to help the old comprador Wu and said, "Grandpa, I'll help you get in the car."

"No, no hurry." The comprador Wu's comprador rarely did not accept the filial piety of his precious grandson. He pushed Wu Chaoyue's hand away and ordered: "Chaoyue, stand up, grandpa has something very important to tell you."

Wu Chaoyue agreed and quickly stood up straight and waited for the old comprador Wu's ears to express his life. However, what Wu Chaoyue never dreamed was that after the old comprador Wu wiped away the tears from his face, he actually knelt down to his knees! Wu Chaoyue was so scared that he also pounced, and quickly knelt down to the old comprador Wu to return the gift, and said nervously: "Grandpa, why are you doing this? How could I accept such a gift from you?"

"Zhennan King." Wu's comprador suddenly changed his name to Wu Chaoyue and said loudly: "Old minister Wu Jianzhang dared to ask Zhennan King to ascend the throne and become emperor, and Long Chong Da Bao! Wan Wang Zhennan King's kindness!"

After finishing his words loudly, the comprador of Wu's father kowtowed to Wu Chaoyue. Wu Chaoyue quickly supported him and said, "Grandpa, how can you do this? Also, how can you..., say that to me?"

"Chaoyue, Grandpa has long wanted to say such things to you." Old comprador Wu shed tears again and said with a sob: "Grandpa has two purposes for coming to the capital this time. The first is to see you again, and the second is to say this to you. When I was in Tianjin, I heard that the emperor had issued an edict of abdication to make you ascend the throne and become emperor. Countless civil and military officials also asked you to ascend the throne, but you all refused. Grandpa, I don't know why you refused, but Grandpa, I think you should be the emperor."

"Grandpa, why do you think I should be the emperor?" Wu Chaoyue asked a foolish question crying.

"Because I am a grandfather, I hope my grandson will have a promising future, and will become a promising opportunity than anyone else."

The comprador Wu, who was a chicken dealer, answered extremely directly and said crying: "So, grandson, if you become emperor and become the Supreme Lord of the Nine Five, you will die in peace. The sufferings your grandfather suffered for so many years will not be wasted."

"Baby grandson, filial grandson, you can do nothing, just for me, and I can hold my eyes even if I kick my legs. Listen to my grandfather and be the emperor."

The civil and military officials behind had long been kneeling all over the ground, led by Zhou Tenghu, the close minister of the old comprador of Wu, and begged Wu Chaoyue to accept the abdication edict of Emperor Qixiang and ascend to the throne. When things came to this point, Wu Chaoyue could not refuse any reason. He could only cry and bow to the old comprador of Wu, kowtowed repeatedly, sobbing and saying...
