Chapter Seventy-Four: The Stealing Joy of Old Yuan (Asking for Subscription)
The news of Yang's injury has caused a sensation in the pass, some people are happy and some are worried, and the happiest person is, of course, Lao Yuan.
In Yuan Shikai's view, the current Manchu Dynasty is already his own meal, and Sun Wen and those people are just clowns jumping off the beam! There is simply no way to stop yourself from doing anything.
Sun Wen was bent on firing the first shot of the revolution, and he was quite active in Nanjing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other places. But as soon as Lao Yuan made a move, the new army in the south was quickly reorganized. The people who served as soldiers were like this, and the new army was unstable because Zhang Zhidong was dead, and the Manchus looked like they were going to be finished, and they couldn't find where their future was.
So as soon as Yuan Shikai came forward, many people immediately chose their own direction and stopped following Sun Wen to mess around.
Now there is only one Wuhan left, and the Eighth Town New Army has not yet been reorganized. Cao Kun had already written to say that he had found a haode helper, and that things were going very well, and it wouldn't be long before he could send good news to Lao Yuan.
The helper that Cao Kun found was Wu Zhaolin. Wu Zhaolin finally sided with the Beiyang Army, and Cao Kun appointed him as the deputy commander of the Eighth Town of the New Army.
Although Wu Zhaolin did not have many soldiers on his hands, because there was still a commander in the new army of the Eighth Town, that is, Zhang Biao. Zhang Biao's family is the capital of the Eight Classics, appointed by the imperial court, and has the great seal of Ruicheng, but the addition of Wu Zhaolin made Cao Kun immediately open up the situation of the new army in the eighth town of Wuchang!
In fact, Wu Zhaolin chose Cao Kun because of this Zhang Biao. In the Eighth Town New Army, Wu Zhaolin was just a small team officer. But he was very prestigious among the soldiers, and he was able to kill the enemy when he went into battle. You can train the army in the next battle!
What can Zhang Biao do? This guy is simply good for nothing other than a sycophant. But it was this good-for-nothing person who kept pressing him Wu Zhaolin, not giving him a promotion, and he had to do everything.
Wu Zhaolin's heart was on fire. He and Zhang Biao just formed the two extremes of the Eighth Town's New Army - he was extremely capable, but his official position was super small. And Zhang Biao is small, but his official position is the highest.
Wu Zhaolin and Li Yuanhong have said many times, let Li Yuanhong help him and promote himself. But the mud bodhisattva is not only not fighting for anything with others. didn't let Wu Zhaolin fight, in Li Yuanhong's words: "It's no big deal to be bullied, go home and have a drink." The next day passed. ”
Sometimes Wu Zhaolin really couldn't understand that Weishenme's father would respect Li Yuanhong so much, and he had to let himself worship him as a teacher. The unhappiness in my heart has been suppressed all this time,
Wu Zhaolin's feelings about controlling Zhang Biao. It's an unspeakable humiliation! It is also a microcosm of his extreme dissatisfaction with the Qing Dynasty. Why should he be pressed by a rice bucket when he is full of talent? However, this Qing Empire is such a fuck, he has no place to tell fairness, just like Li Yuanhong is submissive in front of Ruicheng, he can only swallow his anger in front of Zhang Biao.
But Wu Zhaolin is not Li Yuanhong in the end, he is still young, and he still has enthusiasm, and his passion has not been exhausted like Li Yuanhong. So when Cao Kun came to Wuchang, Wu Zhaolin felt that this was an opportunity for him to stand on Cao Kun's side and kill Zhang Biao, a bastard!
He'd wanted to do it for a long time!
It turns out. Cao Kun was completely correct in bringing out the young man Wu Zhaolin to use as a gun. Wu Zhaolin is a good gun, he can help Cao Kun kill Zhang Biao, he can help Cao Kun reorganize the new army of the eighth town, and he can even kill Ruicheng when needed!
The generals of the new army, who were reluctant to meet with Cao Kun in the past, came one by one. They don't know who Cao Kun is, and they don't want to get involved in the above disputes, but now that Angkor has asked them to come, they are going to come, to help the Angkor Gang, so that Angkor knows that he supports him. …,
Lao Yuan felt that the only one who could compete with him in the world seemed to be Yang Da Ghost. And what scared the Beiyang Army the most was the volunteers. The Beiyang Army claims to be an elite general, but Lao Yuan knows his own foundation, and there is no way to compare it with other people's volunteers.
Yang Xiaolin's troops were the elite of the Russians and the Japanese, if Yang Xiaolin and the Japanese had lost both before, he would still be sure to touch it, but now it will be different. This is also the fundamental reason why he asked Lei Zhenchun to go to Liaodong immediately.
Today's newspaper still has news from Liaodong, the volunteers announced to the outside world that they would fight the Japanese to the end, they have begun to attack the Japanese army in Liaodong, and then they are clamoring to enter Liaoxi to avenge Yang Xiaolin.
Lao Yuan looked at it with a smile on his face, and after putting down the newspaper, he couldn't help but hahadaxiao: "Haha! Good! Good! Very good! ”
Mr. Li also smiled next to him: "Congratulations, sir! As soon as the volunteers and the Japanese are desperate, we have no worries, and the plan can be decided! ”
Duan Qirui also said: "Big brother, Yang Fighting Ghosts and those people are really tough, Yang Fighting Ghosts are injured and unconscious, they can still steadily press the Japanese to fight, it seems that we really underestimated them before." ”
Yuan Shikai took a sip of the teacup: "The Japanese who assassinated Yang Xiaolin can be regarded as a great help to me, the war between Zhiquan, Liaodong and the Japanese is bound to be protracted, and the volunteers are very powerful, but the Japanese are not vegetarians." If my guess is correct, in the short term the Volunteers will have the advantage on the battlefield, and they may even be able to make their way into Korea. But a year later, the situation may change. Lao Yuan's words were only obtained by judging the actual situation of the current Japanese Volunteer Army. The Volunteers were able to defeat the Japanese army, but Liaodong's war potential could not be compared with Japan's at all, and if there were no accidents, Liaodong would be able to occupy a year's advantage, which was very objective.
Duan Qirui asked at this time: "What if, Yang Xiaolin wakes up?" ”
Lao Yuan paused with the teacup in his hand: "Then they will also fight this battle!" What is Yang Dagu's personality? How could he suffer such a loss? ”
Duan Qirui felt that what Lao Yuan said made sense: "Big brother, what should we do now?" Do you want to do it right away? ”
Lao Yuan took a sip of tea, pondered for a moment and said, "It's time to do it as soon as possible, just this year!" The most haode situation is that Liaodong has not yet finished fighting. We'll get things done here! Zhiquan, care more about the war in Liaodong, and when we have Liliang, we will go to Liaodong to fight. ”
"Going to Liaodong to fight?"
"Hmmm! The biggest regret of my life is losing in North Korea! If I have the chance, I want to fight the Japanese again! After the affairs of the customs are done, we will send troops to support Liaodong! ”
After hearing this, Mr. Li praised: "My lord! At that time, the Volunteers were in the most difficult period, and they would inevitably be grateful to the adults. And. On the day when Japan and the Volunteers fought, it was estimated that they would not have much strength, and the adults would send troops with all the strength of the whole country. It must be a battle! ”
That's what Lao Yuan thought, changed the dynasty, as the founding head of New China. He needs a record of war and a record of foreign victories, so that the Chinese people can think that he is stronger than the Manchus.
At that time, Japan should have collided with Liaodong, right? In the past, he cleaned up Japan, incorporated the Volunteer Army, and re-embraced North Korea, and in the future, he will inevitably record himself as an immortal monarch in the annals of history, and he will not be able to compare it to the Qin Emperor and Han Wu.
Duan Qirui was also enthusiastic when he heard it: "Big brother, don't worry! ”
Yuan Shikai was very proud: "Mr. Li, do you think it is still necessary for Lei Zhenchun to contact the volunteers?" ”…,
Mr. Li thought for a moment: "Yes! If you want to successfully integrate the Volunteers in the future, you must appease them now, and it is best to let Zhenchun visit some of the fierce generals among the Volunteers. No need to indicate anything. It's enough to pull together the relationship. ”
After hearing this, Lao Yuan nodded: "Okay, I'll immediately allocate some money to Lei Zhenchun, and I'll do what Mr. said." Zhiquan, it's best to prepare in the capital, let's do it as soon as Cao San cleans up in Wuchang! ”
The corners of Mr. Lai's mouth moved twice. He wanted to persuade Lao Yuan that the time was actually ripe to do it now. Don't make any effort, a small-scale mutiny, ousting the Manchu gang, the foreigners will definitely support him, and the domestic industrialists will also support him. Troops from all over the country will also respond, and if a Wuchang can't make any trouble, the matter will be easily done.
But Mr. Li did not speak in the end, and the strategist must first know the master's mind. Yuan Shikai didn't want to mutiny, his jihua was to ask generals from all over the country to write to the Manchu Qing Dynasty and ask the Qing Dynasty to give him the country. In Yuan Shikai's view, this can better demonstrate his virtue.
Also, the Empress Dowager Cixi is still alive now, although only one breath is left in bed and waiting for death. Lao Yuan wanted to wait for this old woman to die before making a move, so that others would not say anything like that he was ungrateful.
Lao Yuan is such a person! Fortunately, the situation in Liaodong has changed greatly, and the Beiyang Army has won the battle in the Guannei, and the general trend is inevitable, and there is no suspense. Yuan Shikai is willing to wait, so let him wait.
Lao Yuan was full of confidence, and he seemed to have seen the throne of the Forbidden City beckoning to him again. But whether it can sit on it now, Lao Yuan has not yet decided.
"Mr. Li, do you think that in the future, will China be established in imitation of the Western people's government, or will it be constitutionalized in the Japanese way?"
After hearing this, Duan Qirui immediately said, "Big brother, why are you learning from those foreigners?" If you fight down the country, you naturally want to be the emperor! ”
Mr. Li didn't speak, and Yuan Shikai smiled: "Zhiquan, what you think is too simple!" Over the years, many people have made Sun Wen troubled and want China to learn from the West, and if I become emperor in the future, Sun Wen will definitely continue to reform his life! ”
Duan Qirui said with contempt: "In addition to the cannon on his mouth, he can make two noises for us, what else can he make trouble?" ”
Yuan Shikai shook his head: "No, we must consider the attitude of those revolutionaries. This time the matter is done, I want to give them a little sweetness to comfort them, Sun Wen is still a bit capable, rather than pushing him to the opposite side of me and letting him rebel against me all day long, it is better to use it for me. ”
When Mr. Li heard this, he dared to say his thoughts: "What the adults said is exact!" Those who have won the hearts of the people since ancient times have won the world, and the hearts of the people that adults need now. ”
Yuan Shikai said: "What Mr. said is exactly what I am worried about. Our Beiyang Army is still much more lax in handling government affairs. Perhaps, it is also a good choice to let Sun Wen and Chen Tianhua do things for us. ”
As soon as Lao Yuan finished speaking, a pro-soldier outside hurriedly ran in: "Report!" My lord, after receiving a secret report from Shanghai, Sun Wen has returned by ship from France and headed straight for Liaodong! ”
Yuan Shikai's face suddenly changed when he heard this, Sun Wen and Liaodong have long been in contact, he knows this, and Yang Xiaolin also said it very clearly. But what is Sun Wen doing in Liaodong now? Looking at Yang Dagui's injuries? It doesn't seem that simple! (To be continued.)
