(54) Abrupt changes in the situation

"Isn't your Baili brother also not wearing a military uniform?"

Xu Shuzheng recognized this person as Jiang Baili, the military counselor of the Presidential Palace, and immediately stepped forward with a smile and shook his hand.

"At this time, wearing military uniforms on the street, once the students surround it, it is not easy to get out." Suiyuan General Zhang Shaozeng looked at Xu Shuzheng, who was dressed in civilian clothes, with some amusement, and said, "The student representative said that he came to the War Department to follow Qin Tingzhi's crying, and it seems that Zheng can't stand it anymore." ”

"The students saw that the army had invaded our country and killed our people, and they were inflamed by righteous indignation, and they should not be too restrained for their patriotism and sincerity." Xu Shuzheng said hello to everyone briefly, and while talking calmly, he came to the table and sat down.

As the youngest deputy chief of China's political axe, Xu Shuzheng, who is only 34 years old, is surrounded by many generals from other provinces who are older than him, overseeing the army and generals in Beijing, but he has a unique majesty.

Seeing Xu Shuzheng seated, all the generals and overseers also sat down.

"Since the occupation of Qingdao, the people have been pressing on our country step by step, and I invite you to come here today just to discuss and see if there is any way to resolve this great crisis in front of us." Xu Shuzheng's gaze swept over the generals and said.

Xu Shuzheng's first sentence was cold, and the hall that was already quite lively just now instantly fell silent, and only the sound of people's heavy breathing could be heard.

"Today is just a private meeting of friends, what do you have to say, but it doesn't matter." Xu Shuzheng said, "It's not a way for us to blindly back down, do we really want to give up the whole of Shandong to myself?" ”

"Shandong must not fall into the hands of Yu himself," Jiang Baili took the lead in saying, "The Germans have robbed Qingdao for so many years, and in general they have done some construction, and the Germans are far away, it is not easy to deploy militarily, and there is only a corner of Qingdao, which poses little threat to our country." However, they are different, they just want to annex China's territory, they have now occupied Taiwan and Korea, and put Fujian in their beaks, if Shandong is annexed by the people again, and Gyeonggi is always under the guns of the people, then our country will not die and will die. ”

"Everyone understands the truth, the question is how to stop my own actions." Zhang Shao once said and looked at Xu Shuzheng, "Since the landing, the army is not in a hurry to attack the German army in Qingdao, but divides its troops to the west, occupies the railway of our county and county, and then attacks Qingdao. ”

"The meaning of respecting public opinion is that we should take action now to prevent the army from invading the interior from the Jiaodong Peninsula." Xu Shuzheng nodded and said.

"In addition, we should also gather the troops of Gyeonggi to prevent the army from having no reason to provoke and attack Tianjin by sea and advance to Gyeonggi." Cai Yi said, "The strength of our army is not as good as the army, and the action is slow, and now the army has occupied the Jiaodong Peninsula, but it is currently fully participating in the European war, and there are not many troops in our country, so our army should assemble as soon as possible and gather the troops of the provinces to fight, even if it is not for the purpose of recovering Shandong, it is also necessary to take precautions." ”

"What Matsupa said is very true." Xu Shuzheng said, "Otherwise, once the army is launched, our army will inevitably suffer a big loss if it has no arrangement." ”

"If we really want to fight, I'm afraid the battlefield will not only be in Shandong." Jiang Baili sighed and said, "The strength of our navy is weak, and it is impossible to fortify the southeast coastal areas everywhere. ”

"This is also the reason why the president has always tolerated and restrained himself from his arrogance and arrogance." Xu Shuzheng said.

"The Navy poses a great threat to our country, and if our country can survive this crisis safely, we must reorganize our coastal defenses. There can be no more such a sea defenseless. Jiang Baili said, "If the coast is lost, China's inland will eventually be encroached upon." ”

After listening to Jiang Baili's words, several generals from other provinces said yes one after another, and the discussion atmosphere of the meeting gradually became less dull than at the beginning.

At this moment, an officer from the War Department hurriedly walked in, and Xu Shuzheng noticed that his expression seemed very flustered, and he couldn't help but be very strange.

"What's wrong? Hyoan? Xu Shuzheng recognized the person who came as Fu Xiao'an, the chief inspector of training of the Beiyang New Army, got up and asked, "Didn't you ask for leave to go home to visit relatives?" ”

"Someone sent this just now," Fu Xiaoan saluted Xu Shuzheng, and said in a dumb voice, "After the subordinates saw it, they thought that the matter was very important, so they rushed back to report to the deputy minister." As he spoke, he handed over a letter in his hand to Xu Shuzheng's hand.

Xu Shuzheng noticed Fu Xiao'an's nervousness, he frowned, took the letter, pulled out the letterhead, only glanced at it a few times, and his face immediately changed.

"Who sent this?" Xu Shuzheng asked in a deep voice.

"It's a woman stuffed into a subordinate's bag." Fu Xiaoan said, "I looked like a student in the costume, because my subordinates were surrounded by students at that time, it was too crowded, and my subordinates couldn't see his face clearly and couldn't talk to him." ”

Listening to Fu Xiao'an's answer, Xu Shuzheng's face became even more ugly, and after he read the letterhead carefully, his hands trembled unconsciously, obviously angry to the extreme.

"What is this? Again? Jiang Baili noticed Xu Shuzheng's strange change and immediately asked.

"See for yourself." Xu Shuzheng handed the letterhead in his hand to Jiang Baili and said in a hoarse voice.

Jiang Baili took the letterhead and glanced at it, and his face changed greatly.

"This ...... Someone can't be deliberately faking it to create chaos, right? Jiang Baili looked at Xu Shuzheng in surprise and asked.

"Look at the content and terms, and the blood letter, does it seem to be forged?" Xu Shuzheng sneered and asked rhetorically.

Jiang Baili let out a long sigh, and his gaze fell on the letterhead again.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Cai Ye got up and came to Jiang Baili's side, leaned over and followed Jiang Baili to look, and the surrounding generals saw that the faces of the two of them turned from red to white, and then to red, and Cai Yi's eyes were almost spewing fire.

Xu Shuzheng easily stabilized his emotions, he looked at the generals and said, "Let's take a look!" I'm going to do something to us! ”

When Xu Shuzheng hurriedly came out of the door of the Wuguo Hotel and got into the car, he didn't notice that under a street lamp in the distance, a young man and woman like a couple seemed to be looking at this side from time to time.

"You say, will he believe this 'twenty-one'?" Shuijing looked at Jiang Xueying beside him and asked in a low voice.

"He'll believe it." Jiang Xueying nodded slightly, watching Xu Shuzheng's car disappear, "And I will soon help us prove its real surname." ”

At this time, snowflakes began to fall in the sky, Jiang Xueying straightened her scarf and said to the well, "Let's go, we have to go back and send a telegram to 'Baiyang'." She looked at the dim sky, "A blizzard is coming soon. ”

"Tonight, it's going to be a bit of a buzz." Shuijing said to himself, looked at the direction where Xu Shuzheng's car disappeared, and turned around and left with Jiang Xueying.

As Shuijing expected, it didn't take long for the presidential palace to be filled with military and political dignitaries who had been urgently summoned by Yuan Shikai.

"These '21 Articles' are probably fabricated by people with ulterior motives," Foreign Minister Sun Baoqi said to Yuan Shikai, "At present, because of the forcible occupation of the Jiaodong Peninsula, the Chinese people are strongly anti-claimed, and the call for the people to send troops to chase each other is high, because some people want to take the opportunity to fabricate such confidential treaty documents, confuse the public, and intensify the contradictions, so as to profit from them." It is estimated that it is likely that Sun Huang rebelled against the party. ”

"I'm afraid it may not be Sun Huang's actions against the party." Vice Foreign Minister Cao Rulin said with a worried face, "Looking at the content of this article, all of them are attached to the original text, not only the format and language of the text are exactly the same, but also the situation of our country's negotiations with the Chinese language is extremely clear, and it is absolutely impossible for anyone to make it up at will." ”

"You mean that the contents of this treaty are likely to be true?" Yuan Shikai looked at Cao Rulin and asked loudly.

"Whether it is true or not is not immediately certain, but judging from the recent developments in this area, it is very likely that they will propose a treaty with similar content to us......" Cao Rulin sweated on his forehead, he looked at Yuan Shikai's face, and said carefully, "It's just that the fifth content in this is too harsh, and I have never heard of it before......

"Have you heard of the first four before?" Yuan Shikai heard the hidden content of Cao Rulin's words and asked violently.

After listening to Yuan Shikai's questioning, the military and political dignitaries standing around focused their eyes on Cao Rulin.

"I've heard a little about the Ministry ......of Foreign Affairs before," Cao Rulin nodded effortlessly and gave an affirmative answer.

"Then why didn't you come and tell me earlier!" Yuan Shikai was furious, and slammed the letterhead in his hand on the rosewood table, "What did you do earlier!" ”

"After all, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has not received the official text of this issue, and it is not clear about the specific content, so it is a ......failure to report it in time," Cao Rulin said almost with a crying voice, "The important task of diplomacy is not trivial, and the slightest carelessness will cause an uproar......

Yuan Shikai waved his hand at Cao Rulin in annoyance, and Cao Rulin immediately stopped saying goodbye and took a few steps back as if he was about to be amnestied.

"It's so deceitful!" Yuan Shikai slammed his fist on the table again, "A few days ago, the generals of the nineteen provinces each called each other, pointing out that they had no intentions against our country and asked for precautions, and I was afraid of causing tension between the two countries, so I replied and said, 'It is said that there is no friendship between the two countries, and there will be no accidents, so we should wait and see, and there is no need to be slightly disturbed and hinder the future of diplomacy', but they actually came up with such a thing to deal with me!" It's so deceitful! It's too much of a deception! ”
