Zhang Dewu waited for a while, and then whispered: "Master, Commander Yang said, you can go." You and Lord Zhao can go, and Fujin is waiting for you outside. ”

Zaitao didn't react, and only said after a while: "I'm Daqing, is it really over like this?" ”

Zhang Dewu's hand gently patted Tao Tao's back: "Master, don't be too sad." Yuan Shikai promised to treat the princes of the Qing Dynasty well, you still live in the Forbidden City, and your house in Beijing is still there, I heard that Yuan Shikai also left you a ......"

Zaitao suddenly erupted: "Fart! He Yuan Shikai is a white-eyed wolf! You don't want his charity! ”

Zhang Dewu was really taken aback by him, and said after hearing it: "Commander Yang also said, he asked you to stay in the Northeast, after all, this is your territory, and the brothers all think of your goodness, including Zhang Zuolin......"

Zaitao's chest rose and fell sharply, and he got up from the bed: "Haha! General Zhang, I don't dare to climb high! I'd rather I've never seen you and Zhang Zuolin, that bastard! ”

While talking about him, he began to pack up his things, Zhang Dewu hurriedly went up to help, but was pushed away by Zaitao.

"Master, where are you going?"

"It has nothing to do with you, I want to be a revolutionary! The master wants to change Yuan Shikai's life, and change Yang's life to fight ghosts! ”

Zhang Dewu's mouth moved twice, and in the end he was very helpless and didn't say anything. Zaitao's temper is like this, I thought he would be better after being locked up for so long, but I didn't expect to be so impulsive. That is, let him go by himself, if he replaced Yang Xiaolin's old brothers, he would definitely change hands and lock him up again when he heard his words, which is typical and has not been reformed yet.

With the injuries on his body, Zaitao tried to endure the pain and strode out of this place with Zhao Erxun in tow. His body hurts, and his heart hurts even more.

However, when he went out and saw his wife standing in the cold wind. Zaitao suddenly felt a hint of warmth. The woman pounced and hugged Zaitao tightly, which made Zaitao's wound touched again.

But he didn't say anything, and backhanded his woman and kissed her on the forehead. Zhao Erxun was a little embarrassed when he stood next to him, but he didn't avoid it.

The woman's face was full of tears: "Master, go home." ”

Zaitao nodded: "Go, go home." ”

After saying this, he suddenly hesitated, home? The house in Mukden City was already the office of the volunteers, and the woman had built a temporary cabin at the bottom of the mountain. But do you really want to treat that place as a writer and live there with her for the rest of your life? Or go to Beijing City?

Zaitao suddenly found that he had no home, and he didn't even have a place to stay. Do you really want to be a revolutionary party yourself? He couldn't find the answer he was looking for. But there is one thing Zaitao knows, holding the woman in his arms, Lord Belle vows to give her happiness, even if it is the happiness of coarse tea and light rice.

At the end of an era, there will always be people crying, but with their tears is the rebirth of another era and the joy of more people.

This is the case in Beijing now. Relatives of the emperor such as Zaitao washed their faces with tears all day long, wailed and cried, lamenting that they were sorry for their ancestors and ancestors.

But the people outside were really elated. The court of the Manchu bastard is finally finished, and the peace talks are about to begin, in their eyes, peace talks are hope, as long as Yang fights ghosts. If Yuan Shikai and Sun Wen can reach a consensus on some issues, China will be able to avoid war. Your life should be better. At least a little less than it is now.

This hope is entirely there, because there is also a gentleman, Mr. Sadaoyi, who is presiding over the negotiations. Because of the attitude adopted by Mr. Sadaoyi in the handling of the China issue, his image in China has become very good, and many people believe that this British gentleman will be able to give a reasonable proposal to the three parties fairly.

Of course, Yuan Shikai is not included among these many people.

Lao Yuan was pacing in his official residence, Duan Qirui had already returned from Nanjing, and he didn't say anything about the suspension of the war, he also knew the situation, and the suspension was just a forced choice.

"Big brother, the first batch of aid given to us by the Americans has arrived, the guns and ammunition are enough for our troops to arm 50,000 people, as well as artillery, more than a thousand, brand new and shiny, and it is comfortable to look at!"

Duan Qirui's face was full of smiles, but Lao Yuan knew that this smile was just Duan Qirui to make himself happy. People outside didn't understand Yuan Shikai, and they all thought that at this time, the Beiyang Army had the support of the British, and the Manchu Qing gave the position to Yuan Shikai, so he should be happy.

Only an old brother like Duan Qirui knows that Yuan Shikai's heart is extremely lonely. "After arming the troops, they will be pulled to Jinzhou immediately."

Duan Qirui asked, "Big brother, isn't it first the south and then the north?" ”

Lao Yuan said angrily: "It's still a fart!" Do you really not know anything about the calculations of the British? I tell you Zhiquan, don't underestimate that bandit! That beast won't sit still, we have to prevent him from coming and biting us! ”

As soon as he said this, Duan Qirui understood, and nodded busily: "Okay!" I will be armed as soon as possible, big brother rest assured. ”

Seeing that he understood, Lao Yuan nodded and continued: "Has Cao Kun called back in the past few days?" Now that the Qing Dynasty is gone, we can't have problems here in Beijing. There's nothing wrong with him there. ”

Duan Qirui immediately said: "Cao San can still do this. Eldest brother, after he arrived in Jinzhou, he reorganized the armament, and in addition to the regular troops, he also followed Yang Dagui's practice in the northeast to form a militia. Yesterday a telegram was sent asking us to give him a batch of guns. ”

"Oh? He also formed a militia? Okay, give him the gun, give it right away. ”

Also, Cao San said that the volunteers on the other side were brave and good at fighting, and it was a bit far-fetched for him to command the troops. He suggested that a person be appointed as his deputy to be in charge of the entire Jinzhou campaign command. ”

"Who?"

"A standard system, called Wu Peifu."

Lao Yuan was stunned for a moment, this person he had seen, a very energetic young man. Duan Qirui approached Lao Yuan and said, "He specially explained that this person could help him fight. Big brother, Cao San's eyes are very poisonous, and he can't be wrong when he sees people. ”

Yuan Shikai smiled slightly: "Okay, promise him." By the way, Zhenchun came back with Yang Dagui this time, and Zhongzhen's girl also promised to come back. When I come back this time, I plan to send her to continue her studies in France. Alas, the situation is unstable, and this girl has a bad temperament, so something may happen if she stays here. ”

Duan Qirui smiled and didn't say anything, he could listen to Lao Yuan's family affairs, and he could help solve it if there was trouble, but he would never interfere.

Lao Yuan didn't say any more: "Also, Ren Gong is also going to come back to take a look." He sent me a telegram saying that the education system in the Northeast was fully established and could officially function. He wants to come back and see how I'm doing here, hehe, this old guy wants to show me off. ”

Duan Qirui said: "Don't we have a Beijing Normal University Hall? A few days ago, Yan Fu came to us and said that he wanted to expand the school, and we did it, and the school was built beautifully! ”

Lao Yuan smiled and waved his hand: "How can Ren Gong not know?" If he dares to show off, it means that they are at least better than us in this regard. Now we can only hurry up, don't let Ren Gong think that we are too shabby. The date of negotiation is set for December 18, and they must be here a few days in advance, and the expansion of the school should be carried out quickly. ”

Speaking of this, Lao Yuan suddenly sighed, and his heart was a little uncomfortable, really.

Negotiation? Only those people outside who do not know the truth pin their hopes on the negotiations presided over by Mr. Sadaoyi. Yuan Shikai never thought that this negotiation would calm down the fighting. Sun Wenlai came to win enough time for the revolutionary army, and what he had to do was to digest the support of the foreigners for him, so that the material support would become the combat effectiveness of the Beiyang Army.

As for Yang beating ghosts, the discomfort in Yuan Shikai's heart is because of this guy! In terms of interests, Yang Xiaolin is indeed the biggest trouble for the Beiyang Army, Yuan Shikai really wants to trample this guy under his feet, that feeling must be very cool.

But from an emotional point of view, Lao Yuan admires Yang Fighting Ghosts very much. From the very beginning, this guy has admired the banner, and he has been until now. A bandit, he actually knows how to develop education! He actually knew that he wanted to open up the economy! He also knows to preserve the unity of the territory at any cost!

The appearance of such a bandit in this era was destined to become an obstacle for him. The Beiyang Army and the Volunteer Army must use a way to distinguish the winners and losers. This can be violent, bloody, or shameless, and there is no means that cannot be used when the two sides are in a hostile position.

But the only thing that makes Lao Yuan unacceptable is that this method is not chosen by the Chinese. It was not his work to kill the volunteers, and Yuan Shikai knew that this would inevitably become a knot in his heart for the rest of his life.

He was powerless to fight, and Yuan Shikai couldn't muster up his courage to say no to Sa Daoyi. Britain is so powerful that the British Empire in this era is the sun that shines on the whole earth, and their fleets are everywhere. So Yuan Shikai doesn't believe that Northeast can survive this crisis at all, Northeast is like a vigorous child, the opponent he faces is indeed powerful, and the professional boxer ranked No. 1 in Shijie has almost no suspense of being knocked down.

Thinking about everything Yang Xiaolin has done over the years, thinking about the achievements made in the Northeast, including the education that Liang Qichao has worked so hard to do, will be completely destroyed by artillery fire, and when he is powerless about what will happen, Yuan Shikai feels a little loneliness and anger in his heart, and more importantly, the sadness of helpless flowers.

Sadness is sadness, and what to do is to do things in the way that is most beneficial to you. The current Yuan Shikai is a standard politician, he will never let his mood dictate his brain, and he will never give Yang Xiaolin any help.

When the British buckled the basin on Yang Da Ghost, it was necessary to draw a clear line!

"This time, try to let Ren Gong stay. There is going to be a war in the Northeast, and I don't feel at ease with him going back. (To be continued......)
