Is Yixun really daring to do it? Yi Zhi's heart sank, he took the telegram and looked at it, and he said straightly: "Go to the bookstore." The telegram was very concise, only saying that there was civil strife in the camp last night, and that E'antai and others had been expelled from the camp, and nothing else was mentioned.

However, Yi Zhixiang is sure that the civil strife in the Navy Battalion is definitely the handiwork of Yixun! For Yixun's disobedience to the greeting, regardless of the overall situation, he was a little annoyed and a little worried at the same time, the Empress Dowager Ci'an would definitely not sit idly by and watch Yixun annex the Beiyang Naval Division!

At about nine o'clock, Guo Zhongmu sent a second telegram, describing in detail the situation of the civil strife in the Beiyang Naval Division, and explaining that E'antai and its remnants are currently in Xingang, and the naval division camp and Fuhengzhang are in a state of closure, and the forward battalion of Yixun has not seen the slightest movement!

After reading the telegram and groaning for a while, Zhao Liewen spoke: "King Gong has not taken over the camp of the water division, and there is still room for mediation in the matter...... ”

Yan Yangtian, who was specially called to participate in the discussion of this matter, said: "Even if King Gong does not take the initiative to take over the camp of the Water Division, Fu Heng will take the initiative to lead the troops to take refuge, for Fu Heng, King Gong is his only choice at present." ”

Zhao Liewen said: "Guo Zhongmu led the East China Sea Fleet to be stationed in Xingang, and there are still 2,000 remnants of E'antai, can Fuheng be delayed?" ”

lit a cigarette, and Yi Zhizhi said slowly: "Since King Gong dares to instigate Fuheng's internal strife, he naturally has the courage to swallow the camp of the Sailor Division, the reason why he is not in a hurry to take over is just to see the reaction of us and the imperial court, to be exact, to see the reaction of the Empress Dowager Ci'an!" ”

Zhao Liewen asked: "How will the Queen Mother react?" ”

"The Beiyang Navy Division strictly abides by neutrality, and the Queen Mother can still tolerate it, and King Gong's annexation of the Beiyang Navy Division will definitely not be tolerated by the Queen Mother!" Yi Zhizhi said in a deep voice: "The imperial court will definitely mobilize the Eight Banners New Army to Tianjin!" ”

Zhao Liewen said: "Are we watching the fire from the other side? Or support King Gong? Yang or the Queen Mother? ”

Yi Zhishu glanced at him and said, "Huifu let's talk about it, what kind of attitude should we have?" ”

After a slight sigh, Zhao Liewen said: "If we watch the fire from the other side, the Queen Mother will definitely have no fear and send troops to fight against King Gong." If we support King Gong, even if we know that we are invincible, the Queen Mother may also take risks, rather than being constantly eroded, it is better to take advantage of the strength of a fight and take a risk!

If you want to stabilize the situation, you can only support the Queen Mother, join hands to suppress King Gong, and force King Gong not to dare to swallow the 10,000 officers and soldiers of the Beiyang Naval Division, and at the same time keep King Gong's existing military power, otherwise it will not be conducive to the implementation of constitutional government in the future. ”

After a pause, he continued: "The problem is that King Gong thinks that we must rely on him to implement constitutional government, even if we Chen soldiers Tianjin, he will think it is intimidation, and he will not believe that we will join forces with the Queen Mother to suppress him." ”

Yi Zhizhi nodded, if Yi Xun wasn't too self-righteous, he wouldn't have been so bold!

Yan Yangtian opened his mouth and said: "Headmaster, King Gong still has about 10,000 troops in the Wa Kingdom, so you can coerce him like this!" ”

Zhao Liewen continued: "In addition, you can also go to the camp with Guo Zhongmu to analyze Fuheng's strength. It is difficult for him to gain a foothold in the Beiyang Naval Division and the Eight Banners New Army, so he can be recruited to the ....... Yuanqi New Army. ”

"You can order him to go to the Wa Kingdom to take over King Gong's 10,000 soldiers and horses." Yan Yangtian said: "If there is a way to retreat and a future, he will not take risks!" ”

Yi Zhishu nodded and said, "I plan to call Guo Zhongmu back, and persuade Fuheng and Yixun separately." After a pause, he continued: "In addition, send a telegram to the Military Aircraft Department, stating that the civil strife in the camp of the Beiyang Naval Division has nothing to do with Yuan Qi, and Yuan Qi is now trying his best to appease and urge the Beiyang Naval Division to restore its original state and maintain neutrality. When necessary, we are willing to join hands with the imperial court to maintain the stability of the imperial situation. ”

Jingshi, the Forbidden City, the Palace of Nourishing the Heart.

Prince Alcohol Yiyun hung his head and knelt quietly outside the gate, he didn't know how long he knelt without looking at his watch, but he didn't know how long he knelt for more than half an hour, because he noticed that he had kneeled half of his body numb, this time he went to Tianjin not only to do a bad errand but also to cause a lot of trouble, but also to lose his face cleanly, and he didn't dare to complain when he was punished in disguise.

A steady and powerful footsteps from far and near, attracted his attention, this footsteps and the eunuch palace maid is obviously different, as soon as he heard it, he knew that it was a member of the court, he raised his head slightly and glanced at it, and saw several military planes led by Su Shun, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised, what happened? Generally speaking, in addition to calling out, it is rare to call several ministers of military aircraft at the same time.

The footsteps stopped in front of him, Su Shun glanced at him, and said with a concerned face: "Didn't you suffer any crime all the way from Tianjin?" ”

"Thank you very much. OK. Yi Xun said indifferently.

"There are military affairs to discuss today, and the Queen Mother is afraid that she will not see King Alcohol until later." After Su Shun finished speaking, he went straight to the gate with a slight jaw, and Shen Guifen, the newly promoted military plane that fell at the end, said in a low voice when he passed by: "Last night, there was infighting in the Beiyang Naval Division, and it is suspected that King Gong usurped power, so King Gong must be cautious." ”

Hearing this, Yi Xun couldn't help but be stunned, if King Gong usurped the military power of the Beiyang Naval Division, he would not just do an errand, no wonder the Queen Mother let him kneel outside for a long time and did not call in, this time I am afraid that it will be a big disaster, and when he turns his mind, he feels that this may be an opportunity.

In the Dongnuan Pavilion, Ci'an looked at the algae on the kang with a gloomy face, the Beiyang Navy Division camp was infighting, and E Antai was expelled from the camp, she was shocked and angry when she heard about this at first glance, and only then did she compromise with Yi Guocheng before, so that the Beiyang Navy Division strictly adhered to neutrality, which was already the last bottom line she could tolerate, and she didn't think that as soon as Yixin arrived in Tianjin, such a thing happened!

There is no doubt that this matter must have been planned or instigated by Yixun, but it is difficult to judge whether Yuan Qi is involved with her, but Yi Xun is not to be afraid, but if Yuan Qi is behind Yixun's back, this matter is not an ordinary tricky!

This matter can no longer be compromised! If you have to back down again, then Yixun and Yi Zhicontent should fight the idea of the Eight Banners New Army! Once she loses her military power, whether she is the queen mother or the emperor who will be in power in the future, she will become a puppet!

It is necessary to put on the strongest posture, even if it is to start a war for this, although Yuan Qi has an absolute advantage in military, finance, economy, industry, etc., but Yi Guocheng has always tried to avoid war with the imperial court, and it is completely possible to test it!

"The Queen Mother, several ministers of military aircraft have arrived."

"Let them in." Ci'an said that she moved down to the kang and called several ministers of military aircraft to come to discuss the matter of sending troops to Tianjin, this is not a trivial matter, she must unify her opinions.

Su Shun and other military ministers rushed in, and after knocking on Sheng'an, they each knelt down in front of the bead curtain in an orderly manner, Ci'an glanced at everyone, and slowly spoke: "The Beiyang Navy Division's battalion mutinied, and the acting chief soldier of the Beiyang Navy Division's military affairs, E Antai, was expelled from the camp, how should the imperial court deal with it?" ”

All the military planes knew that this matter was extremely tricky, and they didn't dare to open their mouths easily, but the queen mother's question was impossible not to answer, Su Shun deliberately waited for a while, and no one said a word when he saw it, and then he said: "Back to the queen mother, the current situation is not clear, the mutiny of the naval division battalion is headed by the chief soldier Fu Heng, raising troops to crusade, and the situation in Tianjin will inevitably be erosive, and it may even affect the Beijing division."

Wei Chen secretly thought that the mutiny of the naval division battalion was due to the fact that the prestige of the general army E'antai was not enough to serve the public, and now that Yi Zeng's illness was critical, could the imperial court appoint a new and respected naval commander to pacify the rebellion? ”

Although he didn't say it explicitly, everyone knew that he was referring to Zaizhao, Ci'an frowned, if he really wanted to appoint Zaizhao as the admiral of the Beiyang Navy, wouldn't he be just fulfilling Yuan Qi's intentions?

"Back to the Queen Mother." Shen Guifen continued: "Weichen secretly thinks that this matter should not be tolerated, it must be quelled by thunderous means, otherwise the future troubles will be endless, and besides, this matter should not be delayed, the longer the time drags on, the more complicated and tricky it becomes, Weichen implores the Empress Dowager to issue an order immediately, ordering the Governor of Zhili to go to the crusade with the firearms battalion!" ”

"The Queen Mother thinks carefully." Wen Xiang hurriedly said: "With the end of the war, the situation will inevitably be more complicated, and it may even be out of control and completely out of control!" ”

"Back to the Queen Mother." Bao Jun said in a deep voice: "The situation in Tianjin is complicated, and the quick knife must cut through the chaos, and Wei Chen secretly thinks that in order to appoint Chang Bao as the admiral of the navy, he will go to quell the rebellion!" ”

"You can't always be the Admiral of the Navy!" Shen Guifen said in a deep voice: "If the sailor camp mutinies, Yuan Qi may not intervene, but if Chang Bao is the commander, it will provide an excuse for Yuan Qi to intervene!" ”

"The sailor mutinied, there is no possibility of neutrality!" Bao Jun said in a deep voice: "This is a good opportunity for the imperial court to completely control the water master!" At the same time, it is also a good opportunity to deprive King Gong of his military power! ”

"Because of this, the imperial court must send a messenger, and the troops of the Zhili and firearms battalions alone may not be able to quickly quell the civil strife!" Shen Guifen said quickly: "Weichen secretly thinks that troops should be transferred from the Beijing Division to Tianjin, causing a crushing situation!" ”

"Once the situation expands, Yuan Qi may get involved!"

"If Yuan Qi has the intention to mix, no matter how big or small the situation is, he will be involved!"

Seeing that the opinions of the military aircraft were not unanimous, they actually argued in front of her, Ci'an couldn't help but have a headache, she had long expected that the opinions of the ministers of military aircraft could not be unified, but she didn't expect that the differences were so big, and even the opinions of their respective camps were not small.

The situation in Tianjin is complicated, and she must cut through the chaos quickly, she has no time to let them argue, she coughed lightly at the moment, and everyone was silent, she was about to speak, but the chief eunuch poked his head at the door and reported: "The Empress Dowager, the military aircraft duty room sent an emergency telegram from Shanghai....... ”

Hearing that it was an urgent telegram from Shanghai, Ci'an guessed that it must have been a telegram from Yi Zhishan, and immediately said, "Nian——。 ”

"When I heard the news of the mutiny in the camp of the sailors, I was shocked. He has sent people to appease and persuade him, and if it doesn't work, he is willing to join forces to ensure the neutrality of the sailors and maintain the stability of the DPRK. Easy to be content. ”

"Bring it on!" Ci'an couldn't help but be overjoyed, and this attitude of contentment was enough to show that the mutiny of the sailor camp was done by Yi Xun alone, so that this matter would be much easier to do!

After reading the telegram, Ci'an pondered slightly, it was obvious that Yi Zhixin wanted to maintain the status quo, and he did not hesitate to join forces with her to maintain the status quo, including not only the neutrality of the Beiyang Naval Division, but also Yixun's military power!

After a slight mutter, she spoke: "The sailor mutiny, must be pacified quickly, so as not to change over time, with Chang Bao as the messenger to quickly go to quell the chaos, and from the Fengtai battalion and the Xishan Jianrui battalion each to send 10,000 new troops to Tianjin for reinforcements..." ”

Tianjin, Beiyang Navy Division Battalion, Battalion Headquarters.

Fu Heng walked back and forth in the wide war room restlessly, raised his wrist to look at his watch from time to time, and sent to the forward camp on the other side to report the news for an hour, and there was no movement on the other side, what does King Gong mean by this? Flinched? He was a little disdainful in his heart, in the current situation, stretching out his head is a knife, and shrinking his head is also a knife, what else is there to be afraid of?

Report ——。 A personal guard said loudly at the door: "Guo Zhongmu, chief of staff of the East China Sea Fleet, is asking to see you outside. ”

King Gong didn't come, but this Guo Zhongmu came, what did the other party mean? Fu Heng groaned for a while before he said, "Please let him in!" With that, he slowly paced out to greet him, no matter what the situation was, Yuan Qi categorically could not be offended.

The East China Sea Fleet and the Beiyang Naval Division have frequent exchanges, Guo Zhongmu knows all the senior generals of the Beiyang Naval Division, and he saw Fuheng greeted him outside the camp gate, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and accelerated his pace, Fuheng did not dare to hold it up, and hurriedly stepped forward, as soon as they met, Guo Zhongmu said with concern: "The casualties are not big." ”

"The casualties are not large." Fu Heng said with a smile: "Thanks to Lord E, I understand the righteousness. Saying that, he said apologetically: "Alarming Chief of Staff Guo, it's really a little unintentional not to ........" ”

"General Fu poked a hole in the sky this time, and there are a lot of people who have been alarmed." Guo Zhongmu said with a smile: "However, if you start an incident in a hurry, you can have such a result, which also shows that General Fu is wise and brave." ”

Fu Heng couldn't figure out his intentions, and hurriedly said humbly: "Don't you dare to be Chief of Staff Guo." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and said, "Chief of Staff Guo, please ——。 ”

Fu Heng led him straight to the small conference room, and after serving tea, he toasted a cigarette and then said tentatively: "Chief of Staff Guo came, but ....... was ordered by the king of Zhennan?" ”

"Not bad." Guo Zhongmu nodded, then slowly lit a cigarette and exhaled a puff of smoke, and then said: "Our prince hopes that the Beiyang Naval Division will remain neutral, if General Fu falls to King Gong, it will inevitably cause a civil war ........" ”

Fu Heng said slowly: "Now that the emperor has completely controlled the New Army of the Eight Banners, the intention to resist the constitution is very obvious, if you want to implement the constitution, a civil war is inevitable, this civil war is provoked by King Gong, whether it is the scale or the result, it is much better than that provoked by Yuan Qi, this is an extremely rare opportunity!" ”

After a slight groan, Guo Zhongmu said: "This is what King Gong meant?" Or does General Fu mean? ”

"I have carefully discussed this issue with King Gong." Fu Heng said in a sincere tone: "If the 10,000 troops of the Wa Kingdom can arrive in Tianjin in time, there is no need for Yuan Qi to send troops to support, as long as there is enough arms support, King Gong is fully sure to win this battle!" ”
