"Lord Yuan, you will cooperate with Taiwan!" "Yes! Lord Yuan, anyway, Taiwan is also from our Qing Dynasty, what bad choice do you have? "Yes! Lord Yuan, you will also cooperate with Taiwan, so that we can all be regarded as loyal to the imperial court. "Lord Yuan, Taiwan is also for King Qin in the north, not for rebellion, so you agree!" ……

Yuan Shikai's officials also came to persuade Yuan Shikai to agree to Taiwan's Wang Guorui's conditions, hoping that Yuan Shikai could get this condition right, so that everyone could follow Wang Guorui to continue to make a fortune. It's not like now, the money they embezzled and corrupted can't be laundered, after all, some superficial work still needs to be done. And if Wang Guorui comes to rule, then the money they embezzled can also be laundered, then they can definitely get a lot of help, and then they can enjoy life with swagger in the future without worrying about being impeached. So whether it is for their own wealth or for the future of their descendants, these guys must also persuade Yuan Shikai, hoping that Yuan Shikai can take refuge in Taiwan.

"Brother Kikuto, what do you think I should do?" Yuan Shikai asked.

"I don't know, now that the world is not far from Dingge, I'm afraid it's difficult for us to make too big waves. We have no more than 10,000 troops under our command, and they have all been sent to the Yellow River defense line, and now the Yellow River defense line has also been broken by the other side, so our soldiers may be in danger at any time. Even their armies have surrounded the city of Jinan, so we will face an alliance under the city. And this time, the king of Qin from Taiwan is clearly said to be the king of Qin, but it is better to say that he is here to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes. Taiwan's purpose, but Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone! But because of this, too many people want to take the opportunity to take refuge and then make a great contribution. Then you can get rich. Now the situation is very clear, that Taiwan has entered the mainland, and they can occupy the capital at any time, and then they can continue to transfer troops. And their next step, I'm afraid, is to go to Tianjin to fight against foreign devils, and then establish prestige to prepare for his next usurpation. Xu Shichang said.

"Isn't it? As a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty, do I just watch the Qing Dynasty being usurped by Taiwan? Yuan Shikai asked.

Hearing Yuan Shikai's words, Xu Shichang also scolded secretly in his heart: "Hypocrite! ”

As a friend for many years, can Xu Shichang not know what kind of goods Yuan Shikai is? As for the interests in Yuan Shikai's heart, it is still very problematic to have some loyalty to this Qing court. When the Empress Dowager Cixi cleaned up the Restoration Party, it was Wang Guorui who betrayed the Restoration Party, and then after Yuan Shikai was arrested, not only did he not harden himself to the end, but immediately sold the individual Restoration Party, and also took the Qing army to arrest the Restoration Party. After that, Yuan Shikai was immediately reused by Cixi. He was then promoted to the rank of Inspector and was responsible for training a new army. There are also many new troops on the mainland, but it is good to be qualified to train a new army.

Yuan Shikai actually didn't have much loyalty to the Manchu Dynasty, so now Yuan Shikai said that Xu Shichang was a little disgusted by the loyal ministers of the Qing Dynasty.

"Gong Bao, now that this is the case, it is better to quickly agree to Taiwan's conditions. In this way, we can all get through it safely. Don't be afraid of any surprises. However, we might as well put forward one condition. In this way, we can all leave a way back in the future. Xu Shichang said.

Yuan Shikai's conditions were soon also sent to Wang Guorui, and Wang Guorui saw this condition and immediately felt funny.

Yuan Shikai is willing to sign this agreement on behalf of Shandong to withdraw from the Southeast Mutual Insurance Plan, and he is willing to send troops to Qinwang. However, he put forward one condition. That means allowing them not to cut their braids! Wang Guorui said.

"Don't cut your braids?" Li Guodong immediately thought of something.

Braids are one of the unique symbols of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the rule of keeping hair without head was also implemented, which forced everyone to leave braids. Although the late Qing Dynasty was much more relaxed about this rule, from the legal principles of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, only braids were loyal to the Manchus. So this Yuan Shikai really deserves to be a generation of cunning politicians, and he actually wants to be this kind of duplicity. Then choose to bet on both heads. On the one hand, he took refuge in Wang Guorui, but on the other hand, he asked Wang Guorui to promise them that they would not cut their braids in Shandong. In this way, Wang Guorui won, and they also took a pair of scissors to cut their braids, which also means that they took refuge in Wang Guorui, and it was just a matter of scissors. As for if the Manchus win in the future, that is, we can tell the Manchus that we have not cut our braids, and we are still loyal servants of the imperial court. In this way, everyone can return to the embrace of the Manchu Qing again, which is actually a kind of duplicity.

"If he could have cut his braids on the spot, I might still look up to him. But he didn't do this, and still chose to be a two-faced, then I naturally wouldn't look down on him. This kind of duplicitousness, perhaps in the old era of political speculation can still be beneficial. But in the new era, everything is to govern the country according to the law and come upright, then their duplicity will definitely not end well. It seems that Yuan Shikai can't keep up with the times. said.

Wang Guorui suddenly sounded the Yuan Shikai in the original history, the Yuan Shikai in the original history, he was born in the old bureaucracy, and later became the first official president of the Republic of China. As for the evaluation of Yuan Shikai by later generations, it was said that Yuan Shikai could rise, because he was needed at the end of the Manchu Qing Dynasty at that time. At the end of the Manchu Dynasty, there was a need for people who were well versed in the old society and who were also familiar with the new society, so that they could rise. Yuan Shikai is such a person, and he lifts it up to a certain extent as the needs of the times. And later he became the president of the Republic of China, which was also a historical choice.

However, his biggest problem is that although he has some new ideas in his thinking, he still has the thinking of an old bureaucrat in his bones. After he became the president of the Republic of China, he still used the tactics of the old bureaucrats in the past. He became the president of the Republic of China, but his thinking was stuck in the past, and his methods were all the old bureaucratic means of balancing the monarch and the minister. As a result, there was no one to take his place after his death, because he was using the old bureaucratic methods, which were not at all suitable for the new era system. So the tragedy of the Republic of China, first of all, after Yuan Shikai died, Beiyang was divided, and in the end no one was able to dominate Beiyang, so in the end it caused the division of China.

This actually has a lot to do with Yuan Shikai's thinking not keeping up with the times, although Yuan Shikai was the end of a feudal era, but he was not qualified for the beginning of a democratic era. He can be the end of the feudal era, but he is not competent at the beginning of the democratic era, but he still chooses to work hard, which causes the tragedy of an era.

"Okay, come with me to meet this Yuan Shikai!" Wang Guorui said.

Wang Guorui saw this round head, this is really Yuan Datou in the real sense, but Wang Guorui has nothing to say. Because he didn't know what to say, in the face of the first official president of the Republic of China in the original history, Wang Guorui felt that there was nothing to say.

"Governor Yuan, please sign the agreement!" Wang Guorui said.

Yuan Shikai looked at the agreement, it was the same as what he said before, Yuan Shikai sighed, and then said, "Okay, I'll sign it." ”

Although Yuan Shikai knew that as long as this agreement was signed, Shandong would belong to Wang Guorui in the future, and his future and fate of Yuan Shikai would also be in Wang Guorui's hands. Of course, this is not what Yuan Shikai wants, but people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, and Yuan Shikai can't help but agree. Now this situation is very obvious, Yuan Shikai cannot win. Yuan Shikai can only hide the ambition in his heart, because he can't succeed.

Yuan Shikai picked up the pen and signed the contract, and after Wang Guorui took the contract, he blew dry the ink.

"Take it to the electricity, announce it, and then tell the people of the world that Shandong is willing to go to Tianjin Qinwang with us in Taiwan."

"Yes! My lord! Immediately, a communications staff officer said.

Yuan Shikai looked at Wang Guorui, and then said: "If it weren't for you, maybe the person who walked to the highest peak of this country should be me!" ”

When Wang Guorui heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned in his heart, he immediately knew what Yuan Shikai meant. Yuan Shikai means that there is no Wang Guorui in cleavage, Yuan Shikai thinks that he should be able to become the most powerful person in this country, and he should be able to become the person with the highest status in this country. However, Wang Guorui also knows that Yuan Shikai has always been driven by this ambition to take power, and Yuan Shikai has been running for power from the beginning. If you don't have yourself, then maybe Yuan Shikai is really a "pig's foot" in this world. It's really the one who can become the pig's foot of this era and go to the pinnacle.

"Both Shengyu and He Shengliang!" Yuan Shikai sighed, and then chose to leave.

However, Wang Guorui has no idea, because this Yuan Shikai is currently about to gradually leave the stage of history. Then maybe he will just be placed in some idle positions, and he can be ready to wait for retirement. And it is difficult for Yuan Shikai to grasp too much real power, after all, he is a person who can't keep up with the times, so it is naturally impossible to gain too much power. In addition, Wang Guorui is not at ease, this Yuan Shikai is a generation of heroes, a thief of the country, so Wang Guorui is not at ease to hand over too much power to him. In the future, for Yuan Shikai, he can only use it, not reuse it.

However, now Shandong also belongs to Wang Guorui, which is the most important. (To be continued......)
