The emperor, in ancient times can be described as a supreme person, to put it bluntly, it is simply to do what you want, the power is quite large, however, in Chinese history there is such an emperor, but it is very humiliating, he is the last emperor Puyi, and at that time there was such a person, he did not waste a shot, three days to occupy the whole city of Beijing, but also threatened Puyi, and finally drove Puyi out of his home, he was a famous general in the northwest army, Lu Zhonglin.
Lu family is a famous family in Hebei, Lu Zhonglin's tongzong Lu Chuanlin was once a minister of the Qing Dynasty, in 1906, when it was already the time when the Qing Dynasty was in turmoil, the rebel armies in various places were mushrooming like mushrooms, this year the 22-year-old Lu Zhonglin resolutely chose to join the army and joined the Beiyang Army, at that time, Feng Yuxiang, Shi Congyun and others accepted the revolutionary ideas and set up a "martial arts research society" in the army, and after Lu Zhonglin joined, he was even more influenced by new ideas, and began to germinate anti-Qing ideas. And he also formed a good relationship with Feng Yuxiang and others.
After the Wuchang Uprising, Lu Zhonglin held the Luanzhou Uprising with the army, and then failed to be arrested, but because of the protection of Lu Zhonglin by the commander, because he was not killed, in 1915, Lu Zhonglin served under Feng Yuxiang, and then he began to rise with Feng Yuxiang step by step, in 1917 Zhang Xun held a restoration in Beijing and was boycotted by the whole country, and Lu Zhonglin was even electrified against Zhang Xun, in 1922, Lu Zhonglin was already qualified as a brigade commander.
In 1924, the second Zhifeng war began, Feng Yuxiang, as Wu Peifu's subordinate cadre, under the influence of Zhang Zuolin, decided to strike a blow against Wu Peifu, so he secretly ordered Lu Zhonglin to go to Beijing to launch a coup, on the night of October 22, Lu Zhonglin entered the city of Beijing, he strictly ordered his subordinates, not allowed to rob, not allowed to shoot, quietly into the city, the next morning, Beijing citizens found that overnight, the soldiers on the street were all patrolling with red armbands, and then Lu Zhonglin's soldiers then occupied the presidential palace, telegraph office, railway station and other places. For three days, Lu Zhonglin occupied the whole city of Beijing without spending a single shot.
When the Qing Dynasty fell in 1911, he signed a "Preferential Conditions for the Qing Dynasty" to face the Qing government's widows, including Puyi and others, and one of the most important of them was that the Republic of China government took out 4 million yuan per year to support the Qing Dynasty royals, and although Puyi had abdicated at that time, his living conditions were also quite good, but just after Feng Yuxiang launched a coup, everything changed, on November 5, 1924, Lu Zhonglin was ordered by Feng Yuxiang to go to the Forbidden City to "force the palace"
He said to Puyi, "From now on, will you be called emperor or a commoner?" If you call yourself a civilian, then we, as soldiers, must protect you, if you want to call yourself emperor, then the Republic of China will not let the emperor exist, I can only shoot you," Puyi was threatened, said he was willing to be a member of the Republic of China, and then the two shook hands and said goodbye.
After that, Lu Zhonglin followed Feng Yuxiang for half his life and died of illness in 1966.
