Listening to Su Shun's words, Ci'an didn't feel a little hesitant, the current situation, the most urgent thing is to stabilize the morale of the Beiyang Naval Division, and the second is to let the Beiyang Naval Division remain neutral, in the case that the royalists cannot control the Beiyang Naval Division, they can only retreat to the second, let the Beiyang Naval Division remain neutral, and let Yi Zeng recommend a candidate to take over as the commander, both of which can be satisfied.

Shen Guifen, the newly promoted Minister of Military Aircraft, said unhurriedly: "Yizeng was shot in the right chest, his injuries were serious, most of them were in a coma, even if they were awake, most of them were confused, the position of the commander of the Beiyang Navy Division was related to the safety of the Beijing Division, how could he be so rash?" After a pause, he said in a deep voice: "Weichen recommended Chang Bao, the wing commander of the firearms battalion, to take over as the commander of the Beiyang Naval Division. ”

Standing Insurance? Su Shun frowned, the first batch of children of the Eight Banners of the clan entered the Nanyang Navy to serve, Zaizhao, Yizeng, Chang Bao and the four of him have the highest prestige, and now many middle and senior military officers in the Beiyang Naval Division can be said to be his old acquaintance, and it is indeed more suitable for him to take over as the commander of the Beiyang Naval Division, however, this person opposes the constitution and is a staunch royalist.

He immediately said without thinking: "Chang Bao is not suitable to take over as the commander of the Beiyang Naval Division, he was excluded many times in the Beiyang Naval Division, so he was transferred to the Eight Banners New Army, and he is not suitable to be the commander of the Naval Division, especially at this time!" ”

Shen Guifen said slowly: "Chang Bao is the first batch of Eight Banners disciples to enter the navy, and his prestige and qualifications are comparable to Yizeng and Zaizhao, so he can be called the most suitable candidate. ”

And people with prestige and qualifications comparable to Yizeng and Zaizhao? Ci'an's heart moved, but he asked, "How is Yizeng's injury, can there be a specific report?" ”

"Back to the Queen Mother." Wen Xiang opened his mouth and said: "Weichen has sent a telegram to Wen Yu, the governor of Zhili, to report the situation of Yizeng in time. ”

"There is news of Yizeng, and you can play it as you go." After Ci'an gave an order, he paused slightly before saying: "Prince Yiyun is arrogant and arrogant, acting arbitrarily, and coercing local officials without authorization, so he ordered the Beiyang Navy Division to escort him into Beijing immediately!" ”

After speaking, he glanced at the ministers of military aircraft outside the bead curtain and said, "Kneel down." ”

After a few years, he was already familiar with Ci'an's temperament, and knew that she was inclined to let Chang Bao take over the position of the commander of the Beiyang Naval Division, and he pondered that he was not good at coming forward to dissuade him, and it was more secure for Yi Zhizhi to come forward, so he had to send a telegram to Yi Zhizhi quickly.

In the Dongnuan Pavilion, Ci'an pondered for a while before ordering: "Transfer the resume of Chang Bao, the wing commander of the firearms battalion." ”

Soon, Chang Bao's file was sent over, after carefully reading it, Ci'an became more and more satisfied, Chang Bao was the first batch of Eight Banners to participate in the Nanyang Navy among the best of the children, has been in the Beiyang Navy for six years, qualifications and prestige are indeed comparable to Zaizhao and Yi Zeng, he took over the Beiyang Naval Division, not only can control the situation, but also do not need to worry about the Beiyang Naval Division being used by others.

Closing the dossier, she commanded, "Xuan Chang Bao Pilgrimage!" ”

Tianjin, Rehabilitation Hospital.

As soon as Wen Yu, the governor of Zhili, came out of the sedan chair, he saw a row of officers and soldiers of the Navy Division standing outside the gate of the hospital, he frowned, but he didn't say anything, he knew very well that the current officers and soldiers of the Navy Division did not trust him, the Governor of Zhili, after all, Prince Yiyun entered the governor's platform as soon as he arrived in Tianjin.

Dahai, who had already received the report, hurried up to greet him, and after giving a military salute, he said lukewarmly: "Thank you for sending someone to answer the ceremony." ”

Wen Yu waved his hand and said with a warm attitude: "How is Yijunmen's injury?" ”

Referring to Yizeng's injury, Da Hai's expression darkened, and he said in a muffled voice: "Junmen is now in a coma, Doctor Yang said that the bullet did not penetrate, it should be stuck in the shoulder blade position, and it is necessary to open the knife to take out the bullet, Yuan Qi has invited the best Western doctor from Shanghai and sent a special train to escort him, and it is expected to arrive in the afternoon, and then the consultation will be ....... to take the bullet." ”

Listening to the knife, Wen Yu estimated that he was afraid that it would be more than lucky, it was not the arms and thighs, but the right chest, what is the difference between disemboweling and disemboweling? To his surprise, Yuan Qi's reaction was so fast, so important, he actually sent a special train to Tianjin, he couldn't help but secretly sigh, Yi Zhixin can really buy people's hearts, whether this move can save Yizeng or not, at least won the great favor of the officers and soldiers of the Beiyang Naval Division.

"Don't worry." He said with relief: "Western medicine is good at knife wounds and gunshot wounds, and the Yijun Menji people have their own natural appearance, and they will definitely survive this catastrophe." ”

Hearing him say this, Dahai's tone softened slightly, and said, "Cheng Tai's auspicious words." ”

Wen Yu then said with concern: "You are in a hurry, if you need help, just ask." ”

"Thank you, Lord Tai." Dahai said without being arrogant or humble, he knew that this was just a polite remark, the navy yamen was in Tianjin, what did he need the governor's help.

The other party didn't have the slightest intention of inviting him in, Wen Yu was also interested, and said straightforwardly: "If Yijunmen wakes up, I hope to make a message in time, the Queen Mother and the Zhongtang are very concerned about Yijunmen's injuries." ”

Dahai nodded and said, "Don't worry, you will definitely report it in time." ”

Shanghai, Zhennan Wangfu, Changle Book House.

Zhao Liewen said with a worried look on the telegram in the other party's hand: "Yijunmen's injury is so serious, can he worry about his life?" ”

Hearing this, Yi Zhizu sighed lightly, this is really hard to say, this year's Western medicine technology and Mongolian doctors also have a fight, such a serious gunshot wound, whether it can be saved, can only depend on the will of God, but he still relieved: "I have seen a lot of this kind of gunshot wound, and there are many rescues, so there is no need to worry too much about ......." ”

Before he finished speaking, Cao Gensheng hurriedly came in and reported: "The big shopkeeper, the master of Beijing is calling." ”

"Reading ——。"

"The Empress Dowager sent a telegram, Prince Yi Xun was arrogant and arrogant, acted arbitrarily, and coerced the local officials without authorization, and ordered the Beiyang Navy Division to escort him into Beijing immediately. In addition, according to Prime Minister Su, it is very likely that the Queen Mother will take over the Beiyang Naval Division with Chang Bao. ”

Zhao Liewen said in a deep voice: "The Queen Mother is ...... want to protect Prince Alcohol?" ”

"How can you not protect it?" Yi Zhizhi said disapprovingly: "After all, Yiyun is doing bad things with good intentions, if you don't pay attention to it, wouldn't it be chilling?" Besides, Yi Xun is the Queen Mother's right-hand man! Now is the time to employ people. ”

"With such protection, aren't you afraid of chilling the hearts of the officers and soldiers of the Beiyang Naval Division?" Zhao Liewen muttered before he said, "Where is this permanent protection?" ”

Standing ——? Yi Zhixiang smiled and said: "The Nanyang Navy that entered with Zai Zhao, Yi Zeng, Su Shun and others back then can also be regarded as generals, but the utilitarian heart is too heavy, and the thinking is conservative, and the Beiyang Navy Division has been squeezed out and suppressed by Zai Zhao Yizeng, and later went to the ....... of the Eight Banners New Army."

Zhao Liewen said: "Royalists? ”

Yi Zhizu nodded slightly, "Although Chang Bao is a member of the emperor's and queen's line, he has been in the Beiyang Naval Division for many years, and his qualifications and prestige are enough to be qualified for the position of the commander of the Beiyang Naval Division...... ”

Zhao Liewen hesitated and said: "What does the big shopkeeper mean, don't fight?" ”

"Fight, why not?" Yi Zhishu said without thinking: "Chang Bao taking over the Beiyang Naval Division is not a good thing for King Gong and Yuan Qi, and it must be stopped. ”

lit a cigarette and thought for a while before he said: "Directly send electricity to the Yangxin Palace, Yuan Qi resolutely opposes Chang Bao taking over as the commander of the Beiyang Naval Division." ”

So straightforward? Zhao Liewen couldn't help but pout, "If the Queen Mother is not convinced, I'm afraid there will be no room for turnaround." ”

"Just leave no stone unturned!" Yi Zhizhi said: "I have to let the Queen Mother know the seriousness of this matter!" ”

Nourishing Heart Palace, East Warm Pavilion,

Wu Yongde, the eunuch in charge of the telegraph room, whispered at the door with fear: "Queen Mother, the king of Shanghai Zhennan is calling——。 ”

Ci'an, who was sitting by the window and looking at the scenery in the garden, turned around when he heard the words, Wu Yongde was afraid of being killed by the fish in the pond, so he hurriedly took a few steps and submitted the telegram straight up, to be honest, such a straightforward, unsparing telegram, he was still the first time to see it, although Yuan Qi was aggressive, but the telegram exchange in Pingsuri, there was still no lack of respect, even though the tone was not euphemistic, but there was always a little leeway, and the wording was not so strong.

Sweeping the telegram at a glance, Ci'an's face immediately became gloomy, she hasn't settled down here, Chang Bao hasn't entered the palace yet, but Yi Zhi's telegram arrived first, needless to say, it must be someone among the ministers of military aircraft who sent a message to Yi Zhixiang, most of them are Su Shun, this is too presumptuous, is there still her as the queen mother in her eyes? Is there still a court in your eyes? If it weren't for Yuan Qi, she would have replaced Su Shun, the chief military minister, long ago!

Seeing Ci'an's ugly face, Wu Yongde's heart tightened, and he quickly knelt down consciously, but Ci'an did not have a seizure, and gradually calmed down and resolutely opposed! This is not only to show her attitude, but also to force her, if she insists on letting Chang Bao take over the Beiyang Naval Division, Yuan Qi will definitely not give up, and there will definitely be another branch.

At the moment, Yixun's squad is about to arrive in Tianjin when he returns to Beijing, and most of the escorted fleets are Yuan Qi's East China Sea Fleet, at this juncture, she can't give Yuan Qi and Yixun any excuses, but she can't swallow this breath when she bows her head, besides, she will never let Zai Zhao take over the Beiyang Naval Division!

After being silent for a long time, she glanced at Wu Yongde, who was kneeling in front of her, and said, "Call back, the imperial court is also resolutely opposed to Zai Zhao taking over the Beiyang Naval Division!" ”

Wu Yongde listened to it, is this on the bar? Eunuchs can't interfere in politics, where can he talk about this kind of thing, he hurriedly said: "Slave honor." ”

Shanghai, Zhennan Wangfu, Changle Book House.

Seeing Ci'an's callback, Zhao Liewen couldn't help but laugh, "This is really a needle-to-wheat mang." ”

"It's a compromise." Yi Zhizu said slowly: "But I can't swallow this breath, so I look for the stairs to go down." ”

Zhao Liewen said tentatively: "Does the big shopkeeper continue to insist on recommending Zaizhao? Still is......? ”

"If you continue to insist on recommending Zaizhao, there is really no room for things to turn around." Yi Zhizu said slowly: "Let's also take a step back and call back, the Beiyang Naval Division must remain neutral!" ”

"The Beiyang Naval Division must remain neutral!" Seeing the callback, Ci'an secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, she was really worried that Yi Zhishu would not give in, and insisted on letting Zaizhao take over the Beiyang Naval Division, however, she thought that since the other party made concessions, this actually means that the other party also hopes that the situation can remain stable, is there something to do? As long as you don't touch the other party's bottom line.

"Empress Dowager, Chang Bao is handing over the sign outside to ask to see."

"Let him in." Ci'an commanded.

Soon, Chang Bao, who was dressed in court clothes, strode into the room and said, "Weichen Chang Bao knocks on the Empress Dowager Sheng'an." Then he got up and knelt down on the felt carpet in front of the bead curtain, Ci'an glanced at him through the bead curtain, and said slowly: "King Gong is about to return to Beijing, and you lead your troops to Tianjin to station." ”

What does that mean? Guarding against King Gong? This matter is not a trivial matter, how dare Chang Bao make his own opinion, and hurriedly said: "Weichen is stupid, and I ask the Queen Mother to make it clear." ”

"The situation is complicated ...... right now." Ci'an pondered and said: "For the time being, you will lead your troops to Tianjin to station, wait for the next fate, and remember not to make claims and act without authorization." ”

Chang Bao was confused, but he didn't want to ask much, so he said: "Please also ask the Queen Mother to make it clear, when will you leave?" ”

Ci'an said in a deep voice: "Before it gets dark today, you must arrive in Tianjin!" Be sure to keep in touch with telegram at all times. ”

"Wechen obeys!" Chang Bao hurriedly said aloud.

Out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, Chang Bao felt a little excited in his heart, he felt that his opportunity had come, although Ci'an did not clearly say what the purpose of letting the firearms battalion be stationed in Tianjin, but he was sure that it was either to prevent King Gong, or to prevent the Beiyang Naval Division, or both.

As soon as he left the palace, he instructed his guards: "Immediately rush to the Majiapu Railway Station, inform the station, there is an urgent military situation, urgently requisition all trains, and seize all trains, the army will arrive later, misunderstand the military situation, and the military law will be engaged!" ”

In recent years, with the continuous construction of the railway, more and more railways connected by the Beijing Division, and the scale of the Majiapu train has also been expanding, and it has long become an extremely prosperous and lively place outside the city.

Naturally, it was impossible to conceal such a big movement, and for a while, the news that the telegram of the Beijing division was flying, the firearms battalion army was dispatched, and the news of the temporary emergency requisition of the Majiapu railway station quickly spread!

Shanghai, Zhennan Wangfu, Changle Book House.

Because of Ci'an's compromise, Yi Zhishu thought that the matter of the Beiyang Navy Division could be put to an end, and when he received an urgent call from the Beijing Division, he couldn't help but be confused, glanced at Zhao Liewen, and said, "What does the Queen Mother mean by this?" What is the intention of the firearms battalion to urgently go to Tianjin? ”

After a slight sigh, Zhao Liewen guessed: "The scale of the firearms battalion is not large, and after the expansion of the camp, it will only be six thousand. ”

"That's not right." Yi Zhishu shook his head slowly, "King Gong has 10,000 troops, and the weapons he is equipped with are far better than those of the firearms battalion, and he has only experienced actual combat. If it is to prevent King Gong, it is far from enough to be a firearms battalion. ”

Zhao Liewen said: "What does the big shopkeeper mean, will the Beijing division increase troops to Tianjin?" ”

"It's hard to say." Yi Zhishu groaned: "My plan is to let King Gong be stationed in Tianjin, so as not to return to Beijing, there will be friction, and the firearms battalion will go to Tianjin, could it be that the Queen Mother has insight into my intentions?" ”
