When Zhu Erdian wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, the Japanese minister Ijiin Hikoyoshi, who fully understood his deep meaning, agreed loudly: "Yes, Mr. Zhu Erdian's worry is my worry. The Revolutionary Army is capturing royalty. I believe that even if it is a revolution, the members of the royal family will still be treated preferentially, and the emperor's majesty has made a gesture for this country, which is obvious to all of us......"

Before Ijiin Hikoyoshi finished speaking, the French company Masri mocked: "The reason why this country is like this has a lot to do with His Majesty the Emperor." Mr. Zhu Erdian, if some members of the royal family were in France, they would have been guillotined a long time ago! The Revival has always liked to judge before execution, and we can question the judgment, but not the execution. ”

Despite many iterations, France is still a republic, and since it is a republic, it naturally has no good feelings for the aristocracy. Masley's words embarrassed Juerdian a little, but this embarrassment was immediately interrupted by the Russian minister, Tsovitz, "Gentlemen, there is no need to talk about civilization with a group of barbarians, and we need not go to great lengths about it. The most important thing we should do now is to ask what revival can give us, and if possible, Russia hopes to free Mongolia from the hands of these barbarians, and I hope that you will not object to this. ”

Kosovetz's words spoke to everyone's hearts, but when the Americans heard that Mongolia was about to be rescued, they hurriedly said: "Gentlemen, in accordance with the Beijing Protocol and the principle of open door, we must safeguard the territorial integrity of this country, and once the territory of this country is ceded, then xenophobia will rise again." According to what I have received...... "Methodist has just sent a directive from the State Department. He said: "The Fuxing Society already has more than 300,000 troops in the country, and except for the part of Shanghai that Mr. Zhu Erdian said, they have their own troops in all provinces of the country. And there is plenty of ammunition...... If we all cede a piece of territory, then the whole country will be in chaos. The United States does not want to see a chaotic China, and I believe that neither does you. ”

"I think everyone misunderstood what I meant," Kosowitz explained, "and Russia has no territorial claims to China, and we want the Mongols to form a state of their own." Saying this, he glanced at Ijiin Hikoyoshi again, and then explained, "What I want to explain again is. This new country does not include Inner Mongolia and Eastern Mongolia. ”

"The Chinese should recognize the vested interests of all countries and protect the security of their diasporas everywhere." They must recognize all previous treaties, as well as loans. German Minister Rex emphasized, "If the loan is not recognized. Germany would not have recognized the Risorgath as a belligerent group, let alone the new government formed by them. ”

Seeing that the Germans once again emphasized the admission of the loan, Masley laughed, and he liked nothing more than to see the Germans fall into the pit: "Mr. Minister. Last year, the Renaissance Society said it would no longer recognize loans and treaties related to the encirclement war. I think Germany should organize another expedition to recover the money that should not have been paid, if of course the German army can be mobilized. ”

"If the Chinese do not recognize the loan, then Germany will reserve the right to go to war!" Rex was furious when he was ridiculed, and shook his fist heavily.

Seeing that the talks were getting more and more off topic, Zhu Erdian, who was on the side, was very helpless. Outside the embassy area, Xie Jintai, who was waiting to meet with ministers from various countries in the Zhengyangmen Sect's mansion, was calm. For the revival that is about to occupy the whole country. Foreigners will not recognize it as a belligerent group so lightly, because as long as they recognize it. Then the arms ships at Wusongkou can enter the port, and the entire lower reaches of the Yangtze River will be firmly controlled by the Fuxing Society, and when the major events are decided, the next thing they will have to face is to recognize the new government. With the change of regime in China, these foreigners who are better than monkeys will not take this opportunity to make a profit, then they are not foreigners.

"Sir, should we promise them?" Lei Yizhen asked, after the occupation of Beijing, his headquarters moved over. He asked about the precondition for the talks between the foreigners.

"Nope! You can't just say yes at the beginning. According to international law, it is only by recognizing that we are a belligerent group that we have an obligation to be responsible for the lives and property of all aliens in the control zone. The foreigners are trying to give us a bad job, not only not recognizing us, but also asking us to bear obligations, and if we agree to this matter, it will be more troublesome to negotiate with them in the future. After explaining the foreigners' schemes, he was still apprehensive in his heart, so he asked Lei Yizhen: "Yizhen, now except for Japan, Russia and the United States, it is impossible for European countries to send troops to China, and Japan, Russia, the United States, the United States and Russia are negotiating, only Japan does not want to make concessions, so there is no way for a while." You are from outside the Guan, if Japan sends troops to Shenyang, can we stop it? ”

"As long as it is not a war on the scale of the Russo-Japanese War, then we are completely sure that we can stop Japan." Lei Yizhen said very confidently, "Although a lot of troops in the northeast have been transferred to the customs, they have been trained for eight years over there, and they are not comparable to those in the customs. ”

"The scale of the Russo-Japanese War?" Xie Jintai asked uneasily.

"Well, that means that Japan will send about 300,000 troops, and we will be at a disadvantage. Mr. Shigeyasu, I heard that the Japanese owed a lot of money during the Russo-Japanese War, and the Japanese are so poor now that it is impossible to send so many troops, right? "Lei Yizhen said.

"It's not impossible...... Xie Zhangtai shook his head, Lei Yizhen is a soldier and doesn't know much about diplomacy and politics, but he still hopes that he can consider the problem more comprehensively in the future, "Yizhen, now all countries are fighting wars with debts, some borrow domestic debts, some borrow foreign debts, and no country saves money to fight." This borrowing money to fight a war, if the war is lost, the people will pay back, and if the war is won, the defeated will pay back, so starting a war is not a question of whether you have money, but whether there is someone to lend money.

Japan fought the war by borrowing debts, and Russia also fought by borrowing debts at the beginning, and if Japan really wanted to go to war again, as long as someone supported it and would lend it money, then it would dare to take risks, because as long as it won, this debt would not be its debt, but ours. You say, will the Japanese think that they can't beat us? Will those who lend money think they can't beat us? ”

Xie Yitai's statement only made Lei Yizhen's heart chill, and he nodded subconsciously: "No one will believe that Japan will not be able to defeat us...... Other words...... Other words. As long as Japan wants to go to war, naturally someone will lend him money!! ”

"Exactly! Therefore, those who say that Japan will not go to war without money are simply foolish dreams. If Japan can't get reparations from the Russians, will it also not get reparations from China? Xie Jintai said: "Japan will not look at whether it has money at all when it goes to war. The key is to see how much debt China can afford to lose. If we can only repay one billion taels, then Japan will be able to borrow one billion taels, and if we can afford to repay two billion taels, then they will be able to borrow two billion taels. In detail, this is just a debt transfer, but by the nature of the Japanese, they just want to borrow less. But not without borrowing. The most unfavorable thing for Japan now is that the Americans have been dragged to the northeast by us, and there is also the fact that this is an unprepared war for them, but it is not entirely correct to say that they are not prepared. Japan has always been deliberately trying to start another war with the Russians, but in recent years, relations between Japan and Russia have eased, and the pace of mobilization has slowed down. ”

"Mr. Chong'an, isn't the Northeast dangerous?" Lei Yizhen pondered. Political Commissar Fan An asked urgently. The joy of occupying Beijing before was poured out by the cold water of Japan's war.

"This is precisely the reason why we must seize Guangxu, once we are not a warring group, but a rebellion of the country, then at the invitation of Guangxu or the current government, Japan has a justifiable excuse to send troops. But now that Shenyang has been occupied by us, and most of Guangxu and the princes and ministers are in our hands, it is difficult for the Japanese to find an excuse to convince the domestic parliament; And then there is the fact that our people are negotiating with the United States and Russia, as long as they will support us. Then even if this battle is fought, it will not be a big fight. Xie Jintai spoke. But his mind has been thinking about Yu Zixun and Chen Quai, if they talk well, then the northeast side will be worry-free.

When the yamen was speechless for a while, someone outside the door suddenly shouted a report, and then a weak literati stood at the door and asked loudly: "Yizhen!" Is that you? ”

Lei Yizhen stood up suddenly when he heard the sound and walked over quickly, "Mr. Xiaomin! Mr. Omin!! He grabbed Cai Yuanpei's hand and shouted happily, with indescribable joy in his heart.

"Hey! Why didn't I see that you could have such a great talent in Yizhen in the early years? It's still a vision! Cai Yuanpei also shook his hand vigorously, and said happily while shaking.

Lei Yizhen lost his temper, Fan An and Xie Jintai in the room stood up, Xie Jintai had known Cai Yuanpei earlier, he stepped forward and said: "Mr. Xiaomin, Hangzhou in the past, it was really unharmed!" ”

After Xie Zhangtai finished speaking, Fan An, who was dressed in military uniform next to him, saluted and said: "Fan An, political commissar of the 2nd Army, has entered Mr. Xiaomin!" ”

Seeing Xie Yitai and Fan An coming to greet him, although Cai Yuanpei knew Xie Jintai, he still let go of Lei Yizhen's hand and saluted the two of them, and then sighed: "Amazing! Amazing! I used to think that as long as I could see the success of the revolution in my lifetime, I would be satisfied. I can't think of it today...... ...... today" Cai Yuanpei said excitedly, his voice was choked, and he suddenly burst into tears, "I was blamed for being too underestimated!" Otherwise...... Otherwise......"

As soon as Cai Yuanpei cried, Lei Yizhen's nose was also a little sour, and Xie Zhangtai, who was in Hangzhou at the time, was also very melancholy, only Fan An stood a little embarrassed on the spot, but he was also clever and busy going out to let people prepare breakfast for Cai Yuanpei.

Cai Yuanpei was released from the cell of the Di'anmen Patrol Police General Hall, he fell asleep early yesterday, and was awakened by the sound of gunfire in the middle of the night, and most of the night he was speculating about whether it was the Beiyang Mutiny or the foreigners attacking the capital again, but he never expected that it was his own people who came over. When the special rescue team opened the prison door and reported that it was the Renaissance Army, he did not react. Finally, when he went outside, looking at the familiar colorful military uniforms and the flag of the Fuxing Army on the street, he realized that it was really the Fuxing Army that occupied Beijing, which was really a dream!

When Fan An went out to ask someone to prepare breakfast, Zhang Changguo, the commander of the 4th Division, ran over: "Political commissar, Dog Day got a prince to the legation, what should I do?" ”

In Zhang Changguo's mouth, the dog's day is Japan, and Fan An heard this: "Didn't you take care of those princes and Baylor?" Why did you run a prince now? ”

"Oops! A few of the big soldiers at the bottom were deceived by them! Prince Nasu Shanqi actually found a stand-in with a similar appearance, it was really bad for eight lifetimes! Zhang Changguo patted his thigh and said. He is rarely fooled by others. And the squad leader has a deck of playing cards, and fifty-four cards are fifty-four wanted warrants, but at night. It's hard to look at people carefully.

"Prince Su Shanqi? This...... This is a 2 of diamonds! Fan An is also anxious now, the big and small ghosts of the playing cards are Guangxu and Longyu, and the next four 2s are Zaifeng, Zaitao, Zaixun, and then this Prince Su Shanqi, but I don't want him to run away. He asked urgently, "How do you know that he went to the Japanese embassy?" ”

"It was said by the people in his house, and there was originally a Japanese ronin named Kawashima who lived in his house. This bag drop plan was conceived by the Japanese. Later, some Japanese soldiers in the embassy area came, and they directly escorted people away. These Japanese wanted to enter the Forbidden City before, but they were driven away by a burst of guns from my people. Unexpectedly, they still didn't give up, and they actually ran to Prince Su's mansion again, and they should have killed these dogs if they knew it. "Zhang Changguo's 4th Division and 7th Brigade were responsible for the southern part of the inner city, the outer city, and the southern suburbs of Beijing, after Wang Menghui's troops broke into the Forbidden City. The southern side of the inner city was taken over by his troops.

"If you die, something big will happen." Fan An was so anxious that he stomped his feet. And he said, "Go back immediately, take care of those Tartars, and don't let them run away again." With that, he went back to the Zongren Mansion. However, he was anxious for a while, but walked to the official department next to the Zongren Mansion - behind the Zhengyang Gate (today's Anmen Square) on both sides are the headquarters of the Manchu court, the west side from north to south is Luan Yiwei, Taichang Temple, the Metropolitan Inspection Yuan, the Criminal Department, and the Dali Temple, and there are two rows of official offices on the east side, one row is the Zongren Mansion, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Officials, and there is a row of official offices that are the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, the Honglu Temple, the Qintianjian and the Tai Hospital. However, after Gengzi, the easternmost row of yamen was all classified into the embassy area by foreigners. It was transformed into a national legation.

Fan An entered the ministry only to find that he had made a mistake, and retreated to the Zongren Mansion next door, at this time Cai Yuanpei and the others were already sitting and talking, Fan An was not bothered, so he only called Xie Jintai out.

"Mr. Chong'an, Cube 2 ran away." Fan An's mind was still a little messy, and his words were not very clear.

"What 2 of diamonds?" Xie Jintai didn't know why.

"It was Prince Su Shanqi who was taken to the Japanese legation by the Japanese overnight. He left a stand-in in the palace, and at night, the soldiers didn't see everything clearly, so they let him run away. Fan An finished his words in one breath, and only looked at Xie Jintai, "Sir, what now?" ”

"Prince Su......" Xie Jintai was also taken aback when he heard this, but he had long expected that it would be impossible to catch all the Manchu magnates, and there would always be some who fled to the legation, "Has Prince Alcohol seen it?" ”

"Prince Alcohol's side is all watching!" Fan An hurriedly said, "Everyone has also checked, and none of them have escaped." ”

"Prince Alcohol is dead, and then the matter is more than half. Zaifeng is the younger brother of Guangxu, and it is natural for them to inherit the throne, and foreigners also recognize this. This Prince Su is just a prince, in charge of the Zhenglan Banner, and when Dolgon was demoted, he was demoted to the Lower Five Banners, and he had no way to claim the title of emperor overseas. Now that the Japanese have robbed it, then rob it, and the main others will not run away. Xie Zhangtai said.

"Mr. Chong'an, there is a way, that is, ......" Fan An made a shooting motion, he said a sniper, and now Yang Rui strictly ordered that all the big and small affairs in Beijing should be taken care of by Xie Zhangtai, so before he does this, it still depends on Xie Zhangtai's meaning.

"Fan An, if we conquer Beijing, then this will no longer be a battlefield, and we can't use the same thing on the battlefield to deal with things here. The Manchus are easy to fight, but foreigners are difficult to talk about. It is not easier to gain the recognition of foreigners than to occupy all of China. Now the attitude of various countries towards us is not clear, if we really send gunmen to kill Shanqi, then the Japanese will take the opportunity to say that the revival society is a barbarian society, and what we have to do now is to try not to let the foreigners find an excuse not to recognize us. You go down first, I'll think about it." Xie Zhangtai said.

After Xie Zhangtai said that it was impossible for Prince Su to be the emperor overseas, Fan Anxin was at ease, and after he retired, Xie Zhangtai drafted a document to report the affairs of the capital to Yang Rui in Shanghai, although Yang Rui gave him full power, but now the general headquarters of the revolution is in Siguo Temple in Shanghai, and only by gathering all the news can the most comprehensive decisions be made there.

Xie Jintai's telegram was very long, and in addition to introducing the situation, there were also speculations about his attitude towards foreigners. Xie Zhangtai believes that although there is no contact with various countries now, there is nothing wrong with the judgment of them before, and from the perspective of the whole country, the real dangerous place is the northeast, and the most dangerous country is Japan. In order to contain Japan, it is necessary to rely on the United States and Russia, and the focus of domestic work is still abroad.

When Xie Jintai received the telegram, Yang Rui, Zhang Taiyan, Wang Xiaolin, as well as Yang Du, who had just been received, and Cen Chi, who had just been invited from Shaoxing, were discussing the details of the telegram. After all, Yang Rui has not read the book of sages, and the article will be written by Zhang Taiyan, Yang Du and others.

Yang Rui believes that the content of the telegram should have five articles: first, abolish the Manchu Congress, reformulate the constitution and give the Congress full powers, before the Congress is convened, the national government affairs are managed by the Renaissance Association, and the previous Manchu officials need to assist the Renaissance Association in managing government affairs and stabilizing the local government; 2. To pardon all the Manchu officials and soldiers of the Fuxing Society and the Revolutionary Party who encircled and suppressed them in accordance with the law and according to their orders, and whether or not to remain in office depends on their appearance and their own ability during the present period, and will not be discriminated against because they have suppressed the revolution; 3. At the end of the year, scientific research will be held to recruit talents; 4. Recognize and protect the interests of all countries in China and the security of their diaspora; Fifth, ensure the safety of Manchurian's lives and lawful property.

Looking at the five articles on the paper, Zhang Taiyan asked, "Actually, is this a real pardon or a fake pardon?" Zhang Taiyan asked bluntly, and did not treat Yang Du and Cen Chi next to him as outsiders at all, Cen Chi was expressionless when he heard this, but Yang Du smiled and waited for Yang Rui to answer.

"It's hard to pardon these people, and I have to change this thing several times before I decide." Yang Rui stayed up all night, and he didn't get tired at all, "If you really want to kill those soldiers and officials, then the whole country will be in chaos." To fight the world is to rely on hatred, so we will unscrupulously incite hatred, but after the world is conquered, hatred should be abandoned, otherwise revolution for the sake of revolution will only make the country more and more chaotic, and the people's hearts will become more and more scattered. However, this does not mean that the revolution has succeeded, and we still have many, many things to do. In the past, it was a dispute between the Manchus and the Han Dynasty, but now it is a dispute between China and the West, and it is even more a dispute over food and clothing, and a dispute over wealth. ”

"The revolutionary party rises, the revolutionary party disappears! It seems that I and Jingcheng have thought of going together. Zhang Taiyan said with a fan, and then looked at Yang Rui's two staff, especially the newcomer Cen Chi, and asked with a smile: "If you have a strategy to determine the country, you have to say it now, as soon as the power is fired, the whole country knows it, and if it is fired now, it will be too late in the future." Yang Du and Zhang Taiyan are familiar with it, these articles were drafted by him, so naturally he has no opinion on this, and this is mainly for Cen Chi.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Cen Chi smiled and said: "Chi has just arrived, many things are still unknown, and what is said on the power supply is extremely important, although there are only five, but it is comprehensive, and there is nothing to add." However, there are still gentlemen, and they should rush to the capital as soon as possible, Beijing has always been the center of gravity of the country, only we are in this center of gravity, can it be regarded as a positive trace! ”

Yang Rui's staff member Zhang Taiyan didn't know where he got it, and he couldn't see through the depths. In fact, this person was recommended by Cheng Weinan, and when Cen Chunxuan was the governor of Guangdong, he met Cen Chi at that time. A son-in-law is half a son, and the old man asked Yang Rui one day about the origin of the three massacres of the Qing Dynasty, and Yang Rui naturally said that it was Yuan Shikai who was slaughtered by the people, Zhang Zhidong who was slaughtered by Cai, and Cen Chunxuan who was slaughtered by officials. The old man asked again why these three people were able to be slaughtered, and they rose to the top and stood firmly in the officialdom? Yang Rui didn't know.

The old man said immediately, this is an official in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, in addition to his family background, he also has to use the top staff, Yuan Shikai is a hero, and he pays great attention to recruiting talents, and he is also proficient in military science, so he is naturally the highest achievement; Although Zhang Zhidong is a flower explorer, his ability is average, and the reason why he is here today is because of his staff Zhao Fengchang's advice; In the end, this Cen Chunxuan is simply a gentleman, although he has a family background, but now he can occupy the position of governor by Mr. Cen Renren. The old man only stirred up Yang Rui's thoughts, and after several invitations, he still invited people, but Cen Chi, who came for the first time, didn't say much and had few suggestions.

Seeing Cen Chi's strategy, Yang Rui smiled and said, "What Mr. Ren said is very right, now is the time to enter Beijing quickly." (To be continued......)
