Feng Guozhang hurriedly said: "This should not be, Sun Wen's current situation is also very difficult, not only the people are extremely dissatisfied with him, but there is also a split within the revolutionary party, a group of people led by Song Jiaoren have made it clear that they are opposed to Sun Wen, I heard that Song Jiaoren is preparing to set up a new party and break away from Sun Wen's alliance." Moreover, there seems to be a problem between Huang Xing and Sun Wen. ”

Lao Yuan smiled when he heard this, and he finally found balance in his heart.

Huang Xing is a hero of the two lakes, although he can't fight, but he is talking about righteousness! Sun Wen's attitude towards the Northeast obviously made Huang Xing feel that Mr. Sun Wen was not doing too righteously, and it was reasonable for Huang Xing to be dissatisfied with Sun Wen. But even Song Jiaoren had to part ways with Sun Wen, and it seemed that the days of that cannon were much more difficult than his own.

"Then you let Baili make military preparations."

Feng Guozhang was overjoyed: "Yes, don't worry, big brother." ”

Yuan Shikai brought the matter back to the south as soon as he changed his words: "But diplomatic efforts cannot be given up!" The south is still our focus! I immediately met with Sa Daoyi, and in addition to the Mongolian affairs, I also want to talk to him about the affairs of Shanghai, and Wu Zhaolin is the governor of Shanghai appointed by me. ”

The situation in the south is not going well now, and Wu Zhaolin is a chess piece that Yuan Shikai is very interested in.

Shanghai was originally calm, and even the storm of revolution did not affect the most prosperous city in China, but since Wu Zhaolin and his wife went, the turbulent waves began to constantly beat Shanghai.

In fact, General Wu didn't want to make trouble, let alone have anything to do with the Beiyang Army, he was the father of the revolution, and his team was the first shot of the uprising! Wu Zhaolin came to Shanghai just to find a way for his brothers to live.

He also knows his situation, two words, embarrassing! General Wu flipped through the history books and found that there was really no more embarrassing general than himself in China's thousands of years of history. Carrying the guns of the volunteers and carrying the flag of the revolutionary army. is still an official with Yuan Shikai, and he can't figure out what is going on.

There is still a sequence of Lu Bu's three domestic slaves, he has done three of them this time, and General Wu really doesn't know that he will write about himself like this in the future.

So after Chen Qimei returned to Shanghai, he went to find Chen Qimei, hoping to coexist peacefully with Mayor Chen in the future, and the most Haode way was to reorganize their unit into the Shanghai Revolutionary Army, and he would command it in the future, but obey Mayor Chen's dispatch.

But Chen Qimei didn't pay attention to him at all, Shanghai is Chen Qimei's territory, how can you let Wu Zhaolin sleep here? Someone brought them together to negotiate. But a gang of hooligans and a gang of ruffians will naturally not come up with a result.

If you can't talk about it, then start fighting.

Although Chen Qimei asked a group of Japanese ronins to help, the weapons in the hands of Wu Zhaolin and these people are really much more powerful than those Japanese ronins, and the fighting quality of the Green Gang is really difficult to compliment, and the battle is equivalent to Wu Zhaolin's more than 5,000 people beating the more than 1,000 small Japan with rifles.

If it weren't for the foreign adults who sent troops to prevent Wu Zhaolin's troops from entering the concession, Chen Qimei would have been captured alive by Wu Zhaolin. That group of Japanese ronins also suffered heavy casualties.

Originally, this was a dispute within the revolutionary army, and if it was someone else who was defeated here, it would be a matter of admitting defeat, but Chen Qimei didn't do it! Keep fighting, but if you can't beat him, he will continue to fight. Anyway, Wu Zhaolin didn't dare to fight into the concession, so they wouldn't make peace! Standard rogue personality.

After Wu Zhaolin beat them up a few times, those Japanese ronins were beaten and didn't dare to get up, and General Wu didn't take that group of hooligans seriously, and sent a telegram to Sun Wen and Li Yuanhong. They expressed their willingness to continue the revolution, and asked them to come out and coordinate the problems of Shanghai.

Chen Qimei was unwilling to let Sun Wen coordinate, and Li Yuanhong didn't want to care about Wu Zhaolin's affairs anymore.

Just a few days ago, the fleet of the coalition forces suddenly came to Shanghai. And because I can't go to Dalian, I can only stay in Shanghai temporarily. Chen Qimei immediately went to contact these foreigners, and asked the foreigners to send troops to help him kill Wu Zhaolin.

Major General Hamilton did not intend to intervene in China's affairs at first, but Chen Qimei sent a rather expensive gift, and the major general thought that he would be idle in Shanghai, so he discussed with the commanders of several of their countries, and wanted to come to Chen Qimei to give the gift in place, and the foreign adults actually agreed to help Chen Qimei.

So Hamilton sent a warning to Wu Zhaolin, telling Wu Zhaolin to leave Shanghai within three days, otherwise he would bear the consequences.

Where can Wu Zhaolin go when he leaves Shanghai? If he could go, he would have left. Major General Hamilton's guns were aimed at Wu Zhaolin's position, and this time these people suddenly felt cornered, they would definitely not be able to fight, and this was also a dead end.

Yuan Shikai felt that he had given Wu Zhaolin some help at this time, and Wu Zhaolin would definitely be grateful to him. If that team is absorbed by him, it will be a major blow to Sun Wen, at least nominally!

This is also the purpose of his coming to Sa Daoyi today, Lao Yuan believes that Sa Daoyi will sell this face to himself.

There is also the matter of war with the Russians, he really feels that he must do something to calm the anger of the people, as soon as the news of Zaitao carrying the banner in Mongolia reaches Beijing, just like the old Yuan estimated, the Chinese are even more disappointed in the Beiyang government in shock, even a Manchu prince knows to defend the country, you have no reaction at all I'm afraid it really can't be said.

And those radical people within the Beiyang Army must also be appeased, let them fight, it is naturally best to win, if they lose, they have nothing to say. As long as we keep the scale of the war within an appropriate range, it will not affect the military operations against the south.

When the car drove into the British Embassy, Yuan Shikai saw the Japanese Minister Abe Shoutaro just coming out of the embassy, his eyes stared at Abe Shoutaro for a while, and found that there was a faint smile on the face of this little Japan.

This makes Yuan Shikai very strange, can Little Japan still laugh at this time? Is there anything else they are happy about?

Lao Yuan's heart did not have a good impression of the Japanese, the First Sino-Japanese War was a scar in Yuan Shikai's heart, and he had a very special plot for North Korea. A few days ago, when the Volunteers surrounded the Fourth Division of the Japanese Army, Wu Peifu from Jinzhou gave Yuan Shikai a combat jihua, saying that taking advantage of the opportunity of the fierce battle between the Japanese and the Volunteers in western Liaoning, the Beiyang Army could take the opportunity to advance to the east and make some preparations to ensure that it could grasp the situation in the northeast after the war.

In addition, Wu Peifu also deliberately said that he would occupy some strategic places. It is also convenient to move closer to North Korea in the future. If he made himself ten years younger, Lao Yuan believed that he would definitely agree with this jihua.

His eyes watched as Shotaro Abe left the British Embassy, stopped the car and walked down, and Mr. Sadoyi greeted him from a distance: "Old friend, you are in such a hurry on the phone, is there something serious that has happened?" ”

Yuan Shikai retracted his thoughts about Japan, smiled and said, "Of course, I want to tell you about Shanghai first. ”

He walked into the embassy house side by side with Sa Daoyi, and said as he walked Yuan Shikai: "Mr. Sa Daoyi, Major General Hamilton of your country has issued an ultimatum to Wu Zhaolin. Let him leave Shanghai within three days. You know that Wu Zhaolin is the governor of Shanghai that I appointed, and if there is any misunderstanding between the two sides, I think we should first negotiate through diplomacy. It's a zuihou ultimatum that came right now.,I don't even know what's going on.,Isn't it a little unconventional? ”

Sa Daoyi immediately patted his forehead: "Oh! I always thought that Wu Zhaolin had nothing to do with you! Sorry old friend! ”

Yuan Shikai believed that Sa Daoyi also knew his purpose for helping Wu Zhaolin, and judging from his reaction, the British were willing to sell this face.

"Shall we discuss it? Don't let this cause unpleasantness to us. ”

Sa Daoyi waved his hand at him: "No need to discuss, I will send a telegram to Shanghai immediately, and ask Hamilton to stop worrying about things there." Rest assured. ”

Mr. Sa Daoyi glanced at Yuan Shikai: "Yuan." Things are very bad in the Northeast right now, and to be honest I really hope you can help me. ”

Old Yuan sneered and said, "Mr. Sa Daoyi, this is also the second thing I want to talk to you. I have been in contact with the new Minister Rangnick several times, and the Russians are very tough. I think I'll have to make some moves militarily, and I need your support. ”

When Sa Daoyi heard this, he immediately said, "I understand what you mean. To be honest, I think you should have done this a long time ago, don't worry, we're here to support you. ”

Lao Yuan felt that Mr. Sa Daoyi was too righteous at this time! He even felt a little guilty about his rejection of Sa Daoyi several times. Of course. What does guilt feel like for a politician?

"Mr. Xiexie, I want to make it clear. Once I have a firefight with the Russians in Mongolia, I may not be able to help you much in the Northeast. ”

Sa Daoyi hesitated for a moment, just now Abe Shoutaro and he discussed the battle jihua of Naogami Matsubara, and Sa Daoyi also thought that Jihua was good, at least it sounded quite the same thing. The Japanese meant that the army landed first, and then quickly killed it, and when Yuan Shikai reacted, the Japanese army had already left Jinxi, and he just apologized.

However, Mr. Sadaoyi still felt that it was better to make it clear to Yuan Shikai in advance, because now the national feelings of the Chinese really cannot be touched anymore.

After thinking about it for a while, he felt that if he waited until Yuan Shikai and the Russians fought, it would be more likely to make concessions to the Beiyang Army!

On February 8, 1907, after 23 days of fighting on Chinese soil, the Battle of Liaoxi finally ended with the victory of the Volunteers, and the remnants of the Japanese Second Army retreated to Dalian.

The Chinese people hoped that Yang Dagui would continue to surprise them, and it was this morning that the Beiyang government, which had not moved, finally made a sound, Yuan Shikai held a press conference, announcing that in order to quell the riots in the Kulun area, a government agency under the direct leadership of the central government would be set up in Kulun, and a list of the main persons in charge of the government agencies was promulgated.

Lao Yuan said that Kulun's government institutions would be officially put into operation in 10 days, and that the Beiyang Army would mobilize 50,000 troops with Feng Guozhang as the main general to help the government maintain the situation.

Although Yuan Shikai did not say that this was a declaration of war, and even Yuan Shikai tried to avoid those reporters asking about the possibility of a conflict with Russia at the press conference, everyone knew that this was almost the same as a declaration of war. (To be continued......)
