I don't know how many hands I shook along the way, and when Yang Xiaolin walked to the end of the queue to welcome him, Yuan Shikai said: "Okay, Commander Yang, you've already seen it, friends." In accordance with the procedure that I have agreed upon, formal negotiations will not begin until the day after tomorrow. I have already booked a room for you, Commander Yang and his entourage have a long journey, and Yuan will prepare a little wine tonight to wash the dust for you. ”

Yang Xiaolin's welcome ceremony was of the same specifications as Sun Wen, but Commander Yang's scene was obviously not as lively as Sun Wen's. First of all, it depends on the attitude of those foreigners, on the day Sun Wen came, those foreigners all attended the reception to welcome Sun Wen, but for Yang Xiaolin, after he said those words at the station, except for a few ministers such as Sa Daoyi who appeared at the dinner party out of the needs of the scene, most of the foreigners went back after leaving the station.

The press conference booked in the evening disappointed those reporters even more.

Yang Du had already told Yang Xiaolin before, if Commander Yang spoke again, then he would take the train back to Liaoping now, and let Yang Xiaolin talk here and have a good time.

So at the press conference, Commander Yang almost didn't have a chance to speak, and all the questions were answered by Yang Huizi and Zou Rong. He sat there like an ornament.

Xu Feng was a little disappointed, but he had already memorized Commander Yang's speech at the station, and Xu Feng believed that his description was wonderful enough, and according to his thoughts, this report would definitely occupy the front page position in the next day's Chinese newspaper.

But when he handed over the manuscript to the French editor-in-chief of the newspaper, he didn't expect to be called back: "No, Xu Feng, your report is not suitable for tomorrow's newspaper." ”

Xu Feng was stunned when he heard this: "Editor-in-chief, why?" This incident was the biggest event of yesterday, and there is not a word wrong in the speech above! It's all Yang Xiaolin's own words, and I don't think there's a problem with the headlines in terms of the value and authenticity of the news! ”

The French editor-in-chief shook his head with a smile: "Son, I know all this you said. However, Yang Dagui's speech must not be reported in this way. This time your manuscript didn't just make headlines. Not even a report, the headlines of the newspapers are here. ”

He handed another manuscript to Xu Feng, Xu Feng took a look at it, and began with a write: "Yang Xiaolin bluntly admitted that he was the murderer of the murder case in the Japanese embassy, and also said that all countries should leave China's affairs alone. He also vigorously attacked Mr. Sadaoyi's comments on peace in China, and this reporter wondered whether Yang Xiaolin, who came from the northeast, had the sincerity to negotiate......

Xu Feng was stunned after only one beginning, a look of disbelief appeared on his face, and he threw aside this headline-making comment: "Editor-in-chief! That's not how things go! That's not what Yang Xiaolin meant! This report is completely taken out of context and reversed black and white! It does not meet the minimum professional ethics of a journalist! ”

The editor-in-chief nodded: "Indeed." It was not written by a journalist, it was written by Minister Bower, boy, I must report on it. ”

Early the next morning, when Yang Xiaolin had just gotten up, Yang Du and the others came to his room. Kong Landing was holding a stack of newspapers in his hand, all of which were the latest today. He picked up the top one: "Commander, this is a Russian newspaper, let me read it to you: After Commander Yang arrived in Beijing, he did not answer the questions raised by the reporters positively, and did not say a word at yesterday's press conference. The reporter of this newspaper asked Commander Yang to answer questions about the current situation many times, but he sat there motionless...... It is hoped that in the process of negotiations, Commander Yang will think about the people and have a positive attitude. ”

Yang Xiaolin was brushing his teeth at this time. After listening, he stuck his head out of the bathroom and shouted to Yang Du: "I just said that I can't stop talking, you have to let me speak!" Okay, right? ”

Zou Rong next to him looked up at him and said with a smile: "Commander, the American's newspaper has your words yesterday on it." At the station. ”

The smile on Zou Rong's face was not that normal smile, and he picked up the newspaper and read: "The first thing Yang Xiaolin said to Mr. Sa Daoyi after getting off the train in the Northeast was, Mr. Sa Daoyi. Do you remember what I told you five years ago? The reporter of this newspaper does not know what Yang Dagui means by this, in such a situation, the people of the country are working hard for democracy, and Mr. Sa Daoyi is fighting for peace, Yang Xiaolin actually mentioned it five years ago? Didn't he think that the kidnapping of ministers of various countries five years ago was very glamorous? ……”

Yang Xiaolin retracted his head back into the bathroom and muttered, "Do you still bring people like this?" ”

Yang Du Zhengse said: "How about the commander? How many other newspapers would you like to read to you? Are you going to go out and find out? Explain? ”

Yang Xiaolin came out of it after brushing his teeth and wiped the corners of his mouth with a towel: "Explain a fart!" Don't show me tomorrow's newspaper again, if there is any other news, you can cut it out and give it to me, this kind of thing, Lao Tzu can't see it. ”

Such a situation in the media was also expected by Yang Xiaolin, Sa Daoyi's layout was not a conspiracy in the first place, but a conspiracy or something like that. It's to show you the trap and know how he's going to play it, but you can't do anything about it!

There is no way to compare the propaganda tools in the Northeast with the power of public opinion in the hands of foreigners, Yang Xiaolin did not think that he could break this trap, he just hoped that this place could be delayed for a while, so that the black pot would not be detained by others so quickly, and then, just wait for some variables that no one could think of.

"You're right, you're right. I won't say anything in the future, you can watch the negotiation outside, I will be here as an ornament, and if I have the mind to fight with Sadaoyi, it is better to think about how to fight. ”

Yang Du nodded: "That's right, you think about how to win this war, no matter how much anger you suffer in Beijing, you can only let your anger out when you win the battle." ”

Can you win? Many people doubt this, and some people don't even doubt it at all. But Yang Du thinks that the volunteers can! Commander Yang can! Why? Yang Du's heart is very confident in Commander Yang's battle, and he also has confidence in the volunteers and the base with his sweat!

Lei Zhenchun stayed in the Northeast for more than half a year, and when Lao Yuan asked him how long it would take for the British to send troops to exterminate Yang Da Ghost from his point of view, Lei Zhenchun hesitated for a long time and did not give an answer.

Lao Yuan didn't wait for him to answer, and immediately asked, "Half a year?" Or a year? ”

Half a year to a year. This is the longest period Yuan Shikai can think of, even if the volunteers have made outstanding achievements, but the strength of the British Empire is simply something that Yuan Shikai does not dare to look at directly. The world's first economic strength, the world's first national comprehensive strength, the world's first maritime fleet and the world's first colonial kingdom, Yang Xiaolin's northeast seems to be incomparable with Britain.

He, Duan Qirui, Jiang Baili and others have also analyzed, supporting one year may be Yang Xiaolin's biggest limit, if it exceeds one year, it will definitely be a miracle.

Who knew that Lei Zhenchun finally said three words: "It's hard to say!" ”

These three words made Yuan Shikai stunned. Duan Qirui on the side immediately retorted: "Zhenchun, do you think Yang can still win the fight?" ”

Lei Zhenchun shook his head: "It's impossible to win, but none of you have been to the Northeast, I think Sa Daoyi's plan this time is actually a big mistake at all." ”

Duan Qirui was about to refute something, but Lei Zhenchun glanced at him: "Brother Duan, you let me finish speaking." ”

Lao Yuan also waved his hand to stop everyone from interrupting: "Zhenchun, if you keep talking, this plan is flawless, why is it a mistake?" ”

Lei Zhenchun said: "My lord." After I went to Tohoku, I made the most detailed investigation of several battles of the Volunteers, and I also studied their combat patterns. Yang Xiaolin has been surrounded and suppressed from Yulu Mountain to the present, but he has always survived. Why? ”

His eyes looked at Duan Qirui and the others, and he didn't wait for Duan Qirui to speak: "Yes." We all say that he has a very good grasp of the fighter and finds the opponent's weak point every time. I thought the same thing before I went to Tohoku, but after staying there for half a year, I realized that it wasn't like that at all! Those guys are all bandits. They are very familiar with the terrain and forests, and as long as they run into the mountains, it is basically impossible for them to catch them. You chase after them. They're right around you, today you don't make a mistake, can you guarantee tomorrow? He can't catch this mistake, he can always catch the next one!"

The room suddenly fell silent, and no one refuted Lei Zhenchun's words, because they all felt that what they said was indeed right. The Manchu Qing Dynasty at the beginning, the Russian army later, and then the Japanese army, all chased Yang Xiaolin and fought, and they were beaten by Yang Xiaolin when they chased.

"Actually, Yang Dagui was almost killed, that is, the encirclement and suppression launched against Kuropatkin after he became the commander of Russia before the Russo-Japanese War. The 50,000 Russian troops who were about to go to Lushun suddenly turned around and surrounded him at once, and he was lucky at that time, he was not on the top of the mountain, otherwise he would have died! ”

No one objected to this, because Yang Xiaolin held his first press conference during the encirclement and suppression, and he himself admitted that it was because of his good luck that he ran out.

Lei Zhenchun said this, and finally said softly to Lao Yuan: "Big brother, I think that fighting Yang and fighting ghosts should be like that, there is no other way." Although Sa Daoyi's plan was very thorough, it was tantamount to informing Yang Xiaolin in advance that the British were going to beat him. He drilled into the mountains, and it was very difficult to kill him completely. ”

This is the reason why Yang Xiaolin is not afraid at all. Sadaoyi's trap is very clever, but Mr. Sadaoyi is a brilliant politician, this is a clever political trap! Even if you fall into it, and when the war breaks out, you will be made into a sinner by a thousand people, and it will only make the situation of the war unfavorable to the volunteers.

But Sa Daoyi has already lost the first move in the military, that is, he has lost the opportunity to surprise! Or rather, he himself gave up this opportunity! Kicking off the encirclement and suppression, the Volunteers dared to face any powerful opponent, including the British army! What's more, Sa Daoyi has never even been to the Northeast, so what is there to be afraid of?

Lao Yuan was silent when he listened.

Lei Zhenchun continued: "As far as I know, Yang Xiaolin has begun to establish some hidden supply points in the mountains and forests, and he has also moved some workshops producing military products into the depths of the mountains. Apparently ready to go into the mountains. If he can't beat it, he will run, there is no doubt about it. I wonder why he's so honest so far! Knowing that Sa Daoyi had set a trap for him in Beijing, he still came in obediently, this is not like his personality! My lord, we have to be careful. (To be continued......)
