Chapter 52 Visiting Yang Huizi

It's just that such an army is stationed in the suburbs of Beijing, which really makes the War Department feel awkward. In particular, the people of the garrison brigade, brightly dressed and with weapons more advanced than the foreign military attachés stationed in Beijing, blinked an eye and looked over, and a few of them were not angry. Niu Delu said privately, you have to let your subordinates be honest and low-key, these times the limelight is too strong, which makes many people unhappy. I heard that Vice Chief Xu went to Jiang Chaozong in private, saying that he wanted to beat your arrogance, and Jiang Chaozong was also ready to deal with you. Wang Maoru was very angry, how did Xu Shuzheng deal with himself again and again, where did he offend him.

Niu Delu said that this Xu Cichang looks talented, but in fact, he is jealous and jealous in his heart, you still misjudge him, it is better to be low-key. Wang Maoru thought about it, so he strictly ordered the soldiers not to go out, and they must wear civilian clothes when they go out to rest, and the garrison brigade became low-key.

In the great presidential palace in Yingtai, after Yuan Keding's persuasion and the support of Liang Shiyi, Yang Du and others, coupled with the curse that the men of the Yuan family could not live to sixty, some Taoist priests said that the emperor or the evil star could prolong the life of the Yuan family for twenty years, Yuan Shikai's mind was a little inclined to be the emperor.

Yuan Shikai said that in addition to Yuan Keding's advice, there were many reasons, the imperial system that the Chinese had been accustomed to for thousands of years suddenly disappeared, so that the whole Chinese people fell into confusion and searching, and many ideas appeared, some people hoped to follow the example of the United States to build a presidential republic, some hoped to follow the example of France to become a parliamentary prime ministership, and some hoped to follow Japan to become a constitutional monarchy. Looking around the world powers today, such as the world's largest power, Britain, which implements a constitutional monarchy, Russia, the giant bear in the north, implements a monarchy, Japan, the largest power in Asia, has a constitutional monarchy, and Germany, the first land power in continental Europe, is also a monarchy. This has caused many scholars to suddenly believe that China should actually return to a monarchy, that there should be a monarch, and that Yuan Shikai, who was already ambitious, the general known as China's Washington, is undoubtedly the sole head of the monarchy.

In the process of persuading Yuan Shikai to become emperor, Yuan Shikai's staff system also played a great role. In particular, the Preparatory Security Committee headed by Yang Du, the transportation department headed by Liang Shiyi, the presidential palace department headed by Xia Shoutian, the secretary of the internal history of the presidential palace, and the Yuan family headed by Yuan Keding, Yuan Naikuan, Duan Zhigui, and Zhang Zhenfang, all played a role in fueling the flames and prompting Yuan Shikai to make up his mind to become emperor. And those who gave Yuan Shikai the reassurance pill to claim the title of emperor were Japanese. The Japanese have always wanted China to be reunified, and a unified government should emerge in China. Of course, no country in the world wants China to be reunited, because as long as China is divided, they may occupy a new colony and their goods will be dumped. A strong and unified China is something that all other countries in the world do not want to see. The Japanese supported Yuan Shikai as emperor because they feared that he would follow Washington's lead and bring China into a democracy. On the one hand, the Japanese supported Yuan Shikai's claim to be emperor, but on the other hand, they supported the Kuomintang uprising and other warlords against Yuan Shikai's claim to be emperor, plunging China into internal strife.

And the wolf ambition of the Japanese, the Chinese people do not understand, but for their own interests, they selectively do not look at the side that is unfavorable to them, but only look at the side that is beneficial to them in front of them. (Just like genetically modified foods, the yield is to increase the problem of being well-fed, but the destructive effects on the human body are selectively ignored.) ）

Wang Maoru put down the work at hand, handed it over to Li Delin, and took the adjutant Ren Yuanxing and the secretary Zhao Jiacheng to visit Yang Du.

Yang Du is now a member of the political council, and he can directly convey the opinions of the members of the council to Yuan Shikai in the government, which is Yuan Shikai's ears and the celebrity in front of him. Therefore, when visiting Yang Du, Wang Maoru's gift could not be too light, thinking about it, Wang Maoru heard Pu Ji say that Yang Du is now engaged in the preparation of the security association to promote the restoration of the imperial system, but although Yang Du is not so incorruptible, he has never held any important economic position, and it is the time when he is short of money. Now that Yang Du was ready to go further, he organized a few people to shout around and call him emperor. It's just that if you don't have money in your hands, you can't even organize people. Wang Maoru prepared 50,000 US dollars for Zhao Jiacheng, and took the adjutant Ren Yuanxing and the personal guards to carry the box to the Yang Mansion in the middle of the night.

The servant brought Wang Maoru into the living room, and Yang Du smiled: "I guess that this visit in the middle of the night is Xiusheng, you come, sit, just be at home, don't be polite." His Hunan accent Mandarin is special, sounding like a kind accent, Wang Maoru said with a smile: "Mr. Huizi is too busy, Xiusheng is rare to visit your real body, if I hadn't known that you were resting at home tonight, I really wouldn't have seen you." ”

Yang Du said with a smile: "Wherever you say, you are busy with the president, this body of carrion is dedicated to the country, and I am so tired that I am tired enough." It's Xiusheng you, now you actually hold the army, and you have a heavier position in the heart of the eldest prince, and in the eyes of the president, you also have the number one position. Yesterday's promotion by the president made many people envious. ”

"Mr. Miaozan, Miaozan." Wang Maoru said, waving his hand, "Fanchen, send the gift." ”

Ren Yuanxing hurriedly picked up the box and put it next to Yang Du's table, Yang Du saw Ren Yuanxing, remembered, and said, "Isn't this the candidate who ranks in the top five in the military competition of the garrison battalion Don't skip words." Ren Yuanxing hurriedly said: "It's exactly below." ”

Wang Maoru introduced: "Ren Yuanxing, the word is Fanchen, a native of Tonggu County, Jiangxi, and you, a Hunan native, are half a fellow countryman. ”

Yang Du asked: "The copper drums seem to be Hakka, right?" ”，

Ren Yuanxing nodded and said, "Exactly, there are Hakka people below." ”

Yang Du said: "The Hakka people are famous people, Hong Xiuquan and Shi Dakai are all Hakka. ”

Ren Yuanxing nodded and smiled and retreated, Wang Maoru said: "A small gift is not a tribute." ”

Yang Du opened the crack in the box and took a look, he was taken aback, closed the box, and said, "This can't be helped, let people know that someone is going to be impeached." ”

Wang Maoru said with a smile: "Eh, everywhere, it's just some hometown jujube cakes, which is the crime of impeachment." I heard that Mr. Hui Zi is going to form a preparatory committee? ”

Because Wang Mao often came to Yuan's house as a guest, Yang Du thought that Yuan Keding had told him, so he had the idea of funding himself, so he accepted it with a smile, and said: "Now there is also Sun Shaohou, the speaker of the Preparatory Security Council, your old friend Yan Fuyan, and Liu Shipei, Li Xiehe, Hu Ying and Hu Jingwu, all intend to participate, Xiusheng Xian, why don't you also participate, how about we form the Seven Gentlemen of the Preparatory Security Association?" With your "The Rise of a Great Power" in the academic field, you will definitely be able to add a lot of color to the Preparatory Security Council. ”
