A Thorn-apart China and the will of liberty
10 years have past since the german reinstalled the Qing Empire from the anarchy after the death of Yuan Shikai. China was Finally at peace.
But China was now left thorned-apart by the Warlord, Ma Hongkui of Xibei San Ma in the west and Long Yun of Yunnan Clique in the South west. The german installed AlgOstAsia Company in the south and the Nationalist rebells of Shanqing Tianguo in the area of Yan'an and finally, the japanese puppet Fengtian Republik in the japan occupied area of Manchuria. Every one opposes the Qing Empire except for the german.
After a Government meeting,The Xuantong Emperor, Puyi, stood on the Balcony on the walls of the forbidden city, Watching down on the Squar of Heaven peace. He observed how citizens walked back and forth on the square. Knowing the situation in china right now, Puyi was asking himself: "Do I really deserve to be the ruler of China?"
Puyi told he's staff that he's going out for a walk. Dressed in a black Tangzhuang jacket, a pair of round sun-glasses and a hat, he walked out from the gates of forbidden city. He took the first rickshaw cab that stopped by outside the gates and told he to take him through the gates of Qianmen. Along the way, he saw children playing on the street, Food sellers that sold barbecue sticks and Fish sticks on the street, business men who sold ornament and accessories, Candy sellers who sold Bingtanghulu to the kids and citizens who either just sat down on somewhere on the square or walked around buying stuff from the stalls.
Even thought they tries to hide it, Puyi saw the there expression in there eyes, It showed disappointment and miss trust. Even though it's well hidden, but Puyi knows that Eyes never lies.
When Puyi returned to he's palace inside the forbidden city, he was met by the general of 29. Landfront, The son of the Warlord of the former Fengtian Clique and one of most trusted friend, general Zhang Xueliang.
Zhang bowed down on he's knees saying: "Welcome back you majesty"
The servants and guards in the area did the same and called: "Seing he's majesty!"
Puyi showed appreciation and told them to stand up.
Every one called: "Thanks your majesty"
"Your Majesty, how's the walk been?" Zhang asked
"I've told you already that you don't have to be so polite with me, Just treat me as a friend"
"No, Your Majesty, I can't do that"
"I didn't ask you, It's an order from the emperor so you have to obey."
"Yes you majest... errm... mr Puyi, How's the walk been?"
Puyi looked up in the sky ans answered: "I've seen the citizen of china and their expressions. Their eyes told me that they are disappointed of the situation in our Country, There is also another wish glowing in there eyes, The wish of liberty and freedom. Freedom from the foreign oppression"
"So what's is your next decision?"
Puyi looked at the general and friend and replayed "If Liberty is what my people wants, as their leader I Can't just stand and watching the foreign ruler to thorn my empire apart. It's my role as their leader to lead the country against the foreign front and bring them Liberty!"
The voice was filled with determination, the determination of a great leader. Zhang understand now that this isn't the Kid who lost hi's power to Sun Yat-sen 25 years ago, the kid have grown up into a man that have decided to lead the Chinese to Freedom.
