Tianjin, Xingang, Sailor Daying.

The sky was full of stars, the night breeze was blowing, and the sailor battalion, which was originally brightly lit and noisy, quickly regained its tranquility under the curfew and camp closure order, and all the barracks were quiet, and the officers of each battalion carried lanterns to inspect back and forth non-stop, not daring to have the slightest carelessness, for fear of causing an uproar in the camp.

E Antai was also relieved, and the officers of the battalions who walked around the camp were all fulfilling their duties, and then he was a little relieved, and was about to return to the battalion headquarters, when a lantern came to him, and when he arrived, he saw clearly that it was Chang Guixiang, and he asked softly: "Is there a callback?" ”

"Not so fast." Chang Guixiang said and leaned closer, lowered his voice and said, "Should we go to meet Prince Hui?" ”

E Antai said in a sullen voice: "What do you want to ask?" ”

"Whether Prince Alcohol is over-the-top or not is of great significance to the Beiyang Naval Division." Chang Guixiang said softly: "If you don't figure this out, I'm afraid you won't even be able to sleep....... ”

"I've searched carefully, but I haven't found any secret decrees or anything." E Antai didn't hide it from him, and said softly: "Most of it is a call, if there is a secret will, how can there be a reason not to bring it with you?" ”

"That's not necessarily ......." Chang Guixiang slowly shook his head and said: "This matter is related to the attitude of the imperial court towards the Beiyang Naval Division, it is best to ask a clear ......." ”

E'antai didn't want to offend Yi Xun in death, after all, the other party was the prince of the real power of the dynasty, and he was deeply respected by the Queen Mother, today's matter, he couldn't tell whether it was from the Queen Mother's instructions, Yi Zeng left Beijing without authorization and sneaked back to the camp, which is extremely serious in nature, and it is reasonable for the Queen Mother to pursue it.

After a slight sigh, he said: "This matter is not small today, the officers and soldiers are in turmoil, I patrol the camp in case there is an accident, you can test this matter." ”

Chang Guixiang nodded and said, "Okay." ”

"Wait." E Antai was a little uneasy, and advised: "You have to pay attention to strategy......." ”

"Don't worry." Chang Guixiang said with a smile: "My family is all in Beijing." ”

"In terms of human feelings, you are not a little bit stronger than me." E'an Tai bowed his head and said, "I'll send you over." ”

Yi Xun has been transferred to a relatively secluded courtyard under house arrest, the courtyard and the courtyard are heavily guarded, not to prevent Yi Xun from escaping, but to prevent the officers and soldiers of the large battalion from finding trouble with Yi Xun, a group of middle and senior officers are somewhat afraid, but the lower-level officers and soldiers have no taboos, especially the officers and soldiers from Shandong Province who are directly affiliated to the Shandong are even more taboo, not strictly guarded, but not a joke.

Entering the courtyard, Chang Guixiang casually asked the officer on duty: "How is the situation of Prince Alcohol?" ”

"I'm still emotionally stable, but I'm a little depressed." The officer stretched out his hand as he spoke, "Please leave the pistol to us for safekeeping." ”

Chang Guixiang smiled, took out his gun and handed it over, if he dared to search Yiyun's body, there would not have been so many things, but this is just thinking about it, Yiyun is the prince, who would dare to search his body?

In the room, Yi Xun listened to the footsteps, and looked at the door with some vigilance, although he was under house arrest, he was not too worried, as long as the Beiyang Sailor did not rebel, he did not dare to do anything to him, but he was worried about being humiliated, as soon as the door came, he recognized at a glance that it was the hob meat outside the camp gate, and he couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart, this guy was already offended by him, but it made him a little jealous.

Seeing Yi Xun sitting still, with a vigilant look on his face, Chang Guixiang pulled a chair and sat down opposite him, slowly lit a cigarette, and then said: "Don't be nervous, I'll just ask one thing, whether the Queen Mother has a decree to dismiss Yijunmen." ”

Yi Xun snorted coldly, turned his face away, he hated the other party's tone, seeing that he looked ignorant, Chang Guixiang said slowly: "The prince had better understand his current situation...... ”

Yi Xun glanced at him disdainfully and said, "What is the situation of this king?" Prisoner? ”

Chang Guixiang said with a playful face: "The night is long, do you want me to call a few rabbit masters to relieve the boredom of the prince?" ”

"You ——!" Yi Xun's face turned red because of anger, if he really wants to be a few rabbit masters, then he will really have no face to see people.

"Don't show your lord's majesty." Chang Guixiang looked indifferent, "Whether to eat a toast or punish wine, choose for yourself." ”

Estimating that the other party might really do such a dirty thing, Yi Xun lost his temper when he was on the spot, and said with a slight groan: "The Queen Mother telegraphed and tried her best to persuade Yi Zeng, and even if it was bad, she would let the Beiyang Navy Division remain neutral." ”

"Yijunmen has ensured that the Beiyang Navy Division strictly adheres to neutrality, why is the prince still struggling?"

Yi Xun sneered: "With the Beiyang Sailor like this, Yuan Qi and King Gong will easily let you stay neutral?" ”

Chang Guixiang ignored his ridicule at all, and asked: "So, the imperial court didn't dismiss Yijunmen?" ”

"Nope." Yi Xun said in a muffled voice.

"The prince is really daring." Chang Guixiang sarcastically said to him, then stood up, and seeing that he was leaving, Yi Xun hurriedly asked, "When do you plan to let this king go back to Tianjin?" ”

"It depends on whether the Queen Mother wants the prince to return to Tianjin or Beijing." Chang Guixiang dropped a sentence and left quickly.

E Antai couldn't rest assured, and he didn't go to patrol the camp and stayed outside the courtyard gate, and Chang Guixiang, who saw it, came out like this, and couldn't help but be quite surprised, and stepped forward and asked, "What did you ask?" ”

Chang Guixiang said softly: "It's indeed a call, the Queen Mother didn't dismiss the general at all, but just let Prince Alcohol try his best to persuade us, and let us stay neutral even if it doesn't work." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard a rush of footsteps, and an officer came at a trot, and the two who arrived panted and said: "Report to the general Rong, Shanghai emergency telegram——。 He handed over a telegram.

"Western doctors have been dispatched from Shanghai to take a special train to Tianjin overnight to rescue Yijunmen. At present, the situation is complicated, and it is hoped that the Beiyang Naval Division will temporarily close the camp and wait and see what happens. Easy to be content. ”

After reading the telegram in the dim light of the lantern, E Antai sighed lightly, and handed the telegram to Chang Guixiang, Yizeng was shot in the right chest, and the injury was extremely serious and he didn't know if he could be rescued.

After reading the telegram, Chang Guixiang pondered for a while, and then spoke: "Temporarily close the camp and wait and see what happens, this is the best policy......." ”

E Antai smiled bitterly and said: "We were negligent a little, Yijunmen was sent to Tianjin for first aid, can we hide it from the big people in Tianjin?" It is estimated that tomorrow morning, the cultural system station will rush to the camp and close the camp? How to seal? ”

After a pause, he continued: "I pondered, I should send a telegram to the Military Aircraft Department immediately and report this matter truthfully. Since the imperial court did not dismiss the generals, there was nothing to taboo. ”

"That's what I mean, too." Chang Guixiang said first, since Tianjin can't hide it, it is better to report as soon as possible, after a pause, he added: "By the way, send a telegram to the governor's office, and let them make arrangements in advance to answer the military gate." ”

Tianjin, the Governor's Office.

Wen Yu, the governor of Zhili, couldn't help but be shocked when he received the telegram, Yi Xun went to the camp of the water division, he had a bad premonition, he didn't want to make such a big thing, he couldn't help but secretly slander himself, the success is not enough, and the defeat is more than enough! If this provokes the Beiyang Navy Division to mutiny, the situation will be out of control.

"Call back to the battalion, be sure to do your best to appease the officers and soldiers and avoid an uproar in the camp." Wen Yu said in a deep voice, as for Yiyun, he didn't mention it at all, it wasn't his turn to worry about this matter, and he didn't worry about it!

After a pause, he then ordered: "Forward the original telegram to the Military Aircraft Department." Also, immediately send someone to inform the foreigner medical hall to get ready, and send someone out of the city to meet ....... ”

Beijing Division, Forbidden City, Military Aircraft Department.

Wen Xiang, the rotating minister of military aircraft, was also taken aback when he received the telegram, and hurriedly called back, "The current priority is to stabilize the morale of the army!" Similarly, he didn't say a word about Prince Yixun, not because he didn't care about Yixun's life or death, but because he was worried about stimulating the officers and soldiers of the Beiyang Naval Division.

After groaning for a while, he sent someone to call Wen Yu, the governor of Tianjin Zhili, and quickly reported Yizeng's injuries and rescue situation.

Before King Gong Yixun arrived in Tianjin, the Beiyang Naval Division first staged a big drama of usurping military power, and now the life and death of the Beiyang Naval Division Admiral Yizeng is unpredictable, and the position of Beiyang Naval Commander is vacant, and the imperial court and Yuan Qi are afraid that they are determined to win the Beiyang Naval Division's candidate for the Admiral, and King Gong is afraid that there is no chance.

Smoke out the long cigarette stick and slowly fill a pot of cigarettes, after igniting, he squinted slightly and smoked slowly, the current situation, if King Gong gets involved in the Beiyang Navy again, not only will he be jealous of the court, Yuan Qi is afraid that he will also be greatly disgusted, and it is very likely to become the target of the public.

As he was thinking, Zhang Jing, who was on duty in the telegraph room, crept in again, bowed down and said, "Wenxiang, the king of Shanghai Zhennan is calling——。 He handed over a telegram.

Yuan Qi is so well-informed eyes and ears! Wen Xiang was secretly frightened, took the telegram and glanced at it, he couldn't help but show a sneer, the telegram was sent by Yi Zhi, bluntly saying that the vacancy of the position of the commander of the Beiyang Navy Division was a major source of chaos, and he must be appointed immediately, and unceremoniously recommended Zai Zhao to take over as the commander of the Beiyang Navy Division.

Ci'an does not summon ministers every day, but the minister of military aircraft is a thunderbolt to summon every day, Jingshi is commonly known as 'call Qi'er' refers to the summoning of the minister of military aircraft, and 'call Da Qi'er' is a serious 800 early dynasty.

Nourishing Heart Palace, East Warm Pavilion.

Ci'an carefully looked at the three telegrams sent by the Beiyang Naval Division Commander E'antai, the Governor of Zhili, Wen Yu, and the King of Zhennan, Yi Zhisuff, and was speechless for a long time with a gloomy face. Such a simple thing was actually messed up by him!

Ci'an didn't say anything, and several ministers of military aircraft also knelt on the ground and said nothing, this matter is too big, Ci'an doesn't ask, no one dares to speak at will, and the chief minister of military aircraft Su Shun is expressionless like a wooden stake, but he has been thinking in his heart, whether he should support Zai Zhao to take over the Beiyang Naval Division.

Zai Zhao was the commander of the Beiyang Navy Division before, it can be said that the Beiyang Navy Division can have today's scale, Zai Zhao is indispensable, and his prestige in the Beiyang Navy Division is also very high, compared with Yizeng, it is also more than that, he is replaced by him, it is indeed suitable, however, he is the brother-in-law who is easy to be content, let him take over the Beiyang Navy Division at this time, Yuan Qi's control over the Beiyang Navy Division will be greatly increased.

But when this kind of thing happened, the Queen Mother wanted her cronies to take over the Beiyang Naval Division, not to mention that Yuan Qi and King Gong would strongly oppose it, even the officers and soldiers of the Beiyang Naval Division would inevitably be seriously resistant, and whether they could effectively control the Beiyang Naval Division had to be said!

After a long time, I listened to Ci'an's voice, "The post of Admiral of the Beiyang Navy Division is vacant, what is your opinion?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the newly promoted Minister of Military Aircraft, Shen Guifen, preemptively spoke: "Tianjin is the gateway of the Beijing Division, and the Beiyang Naval Division sits in Tianjin. Although this was not explicitly stated, it undoubtedly denied the recommendation of Yi Zhizhi.

Su Shun frowned a little displeased, and said slowly: "Weichen secretly thinks that the top priority is to stabilize the morale of the Beiyang Naval Division, and it is necessary to select a person with a good reputation to take over the post of Admiral of the Beiyang Naval Division. ”

He didn't say it explicitly, but he was-for-tat, and he was in favor of Zaizhao taking over the Beiyang Naval Division, after all, only Zaizhao was the only one who could be called prestigious in the Beiyang Naval Division!

Seeing the two of them-for-tat, Wen Xiang was like an old monk in the middle, his eyes looked at his nose, his nose looked at his heart, he was King Gong's person, and he didn't support King Gong in his heart to get involved in the Beiyang Naval Division, so naturally he would not get involved in this matter, and the province was misunderstood.

Ci'an behind the bead curtain frowned slightly, she also agreed that someone must be arranged to replace the commander of the Beiyang Navy Division immediately, otherwise, this matter will only become more and more troublesome, and it may even cause chaos.

However, let Zai Zhao take over, she did not approve in her heart, Zai Zhao's succession is indeed conducive to quickly stabilizing the morale of the Beiyang Naval Division, but the relationship between Zai Zhao and Yi Zhizhi is well known to both the government and the opposition, and Zai Zhao himself actively supports the constitution, how can she rest assured that he will take over the Beiyang Naval Division?

Of course, she also knew in her heart that Yi Xun had gone too far in this matter, and the officers and soldiers of the Beiyang Naval Division were only afraid that the opposition to the royalists was very serious, and arranging her cronies might provoke a mutiny.

Seeing the two-for-tat, Bao Jun said unhurriedly: "Back to the Queen Mother, Weichen secretly thinks that it is best to let Yizeng recommend the successor of the Admiral of the Beiyang Naval Division." ”

Hearing this, Ci'an's heart moved, this is to the point, the person recommended by Yizeng, even if the prestige and qualifications are slightly insufficient, the Beiyang Naval Division will inevitably have no objections, however, she soon felt that it was inappropriate, Yizeng left Beijing without authorization and dived back to the naval camp, and was held hostage and stabbed by Yixin, can there be no resentment in her heart? Is the person he recommends suitable?

Weichen seconded. Su Shun echoed: "Yizeng has always advocated that the Beiyang Naval Division strictly abide by neutrality, and the Beiyang Naval Division can ensure that strict neutrality is conducive to the current situation, and the people recommended by Yizeng will definitely be able to implement it!" ”
