Emperor Guangxu frowned, looked at Yang Lanzhi, and asked, "Something about the evil sect? What's the matter of the evil sect?"

Yang Lanzhi said: "The green battalion has been unbearable for a long time, so the governor sent out a few township regiments to practice bravery. These people were brought out by the governor. I thought it would be easy to wipe out the bandits, but I didn't expect: these township regiments When the regiment got to the place, they even made a mess with the bandits!"

Emperor Guangxu asked in surprise: "What did you say? They followed the bandits to make trouble together? How is this possible?"

Yang Lanzhi replied: "That's right, that's exactly the case. Looking at all the troublesome people in the Qing Dynasty, the leader of the bandits was the leader of the White Lotus Sect, the Tianli Sect and other cults. Therefore, I thought: Those bandits are proficient in demon techniques and can capture people's hearts. Only the Zhixiang Tuan rebelled!"

Emperor Guangxu frowned and asked, "There is such a thing?"

Yang Lanzhi nodded again and again, Lin Yuan looked at Emperor Guangxu's half-belief, and couldn't help but sighed in his heart: "It seems that I used to lie to him with the saying 'I know how to use immortals', which was a big mistake. He really believes that there are gods in the world, so that he will believe Yang Lanzhi's nonsense, it seems that I will educate him more on atheism in the future!"

Of course, Lin Yuan would not be intimidated by this statement. He thought silently: "What is going on? Why did the township regiment go and surrender to the rebels? Is the rebels a rebel army with a clear political purpose? What about the refugees who are fighting for food? These are all unknown, I will find a way to find out these things as soon as possible."

At this moment, I saw Yuan Shikai knelt down in front of Emperor Guangxu, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I have been training the new army for a long time, and they say that raising soldiers is a thousand days and using soldiers for a while. Now that the rebels are making trouble, it is my duty to wipe out the rebels!"

Lin Yuan smiled disdainfully when he heard Yuan Shikai's words: "What a Yuan Shikai, he really knows how to pick soft persimmons. Back then, why didn't you go up when it was possible to fight against the Russians? Now you are dealing with ordinary people. Go forward!"

Emperor Guangxu said happily: "Since Yuan Aiqing has the courage to recommend herself, I am very relieved. I originally wanted Lin Aiqing to send troops. Since Yuan Aiqing proposed it first, then please invite Yuan Aiqing to send troops. I don't know how Yuan Aiqing plans to deal with these chaotic people." Bandits fighting?"

Yuan Shikai said in a loud voice: "Severe codes should be used to control chaos. These bandits despise the court and corrupt human relations. Everyone has to punish them! I should kill these rebels and leave no one behind!"

Lin Yuan was startled when he heard this, and thought: "Those rioters must be peasants who are persecuted by life. They rebelled because corrupt officials forced them to do so. How can they be killed? No, I can't let them go no matter what. Yuan Shikai leads the troops, if he is allowed to go, there will be rivers of blood in the Shaanxi-Gansu area!"

So Lin Yuan said: "My lord, let me go for this battle. I have troops in Mongolia, which is very close to Shaanxi and Gansu. It is very convenient to go there."

Lin Yuan didn't expect Emperor Guangxu to laugh and said: "I am very happy that Lin Aiqing is willing to send troops, but these rebels are mobs, so there is no need to bother Lin Aiqing's elite soldiers. When foreigners invade the border, Lin Aiqing will come again." Let's do it."

What Yuan Shikai said made Yuan Shikai stare at Lin Yuan fiercely, because what Emperor Guangxu said was clearly saying: the combat effectiveness of Lin Yuan's troops is much stronger than that of Yuan Shikai's troops, Lin Yuan's troops can fight foreigners, but Yuan Shikai's troops can only Disrupting the bandits, of course Yuan Shikai refused to accept, Lin Yuan wanted to speak again, Emperor Guangxu smiled and said: "Okay, Lin Aiqing doesn't need to talk anymore, this matter is decided in this way, Yuan Aiqing will send troops to Xi'an Mansion immediately, and then recover Lanzhou Mansion , Completely wipe out the rebels!"

Emperor Guangxu said to the little eunuch next to him: "Declaration of my order, Yang Changjun, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, delayed the military plane, dismissed him for investigation, and handed it over to the Ministry of Punishment." Then he said to everyone: "Okay, everyone go back."

Lin Yuan had no choice but to go outside, and when he reached the door, he was bumped lightly by Yuan Shikai, and then he heard Yuan Shikai whispering in his ear: "Lin Yuan, this time the credit is mine!" Looking at Yuan Shikai's back, Lin Yuan thought to himself: "If Yuan Shikai sends troops this time, the common people will suffer!"

Lin Yuan came out of the Forbidden City, and as soon as he got home, he saw Shen Wanqing was already waiting for him. Shen Wanqing asked, "The emperor called you here in such a hurry, what happened?"

Lin Yuan told the story of the peasant uprising army and Yuan Shikai's dispatch of troops, and Shen Wanqing suddenly exclaimed: "We must not let Yuan Shikai send troops!"

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "That's right, but what method are we going to use?"

Shen Wanqing thought for a while and said, "How about we kill Yuan Shikai?"

Lin Yuan nodded slightly, and said, "I think it's okay, Yuan Shikai will be my opponent sooner or later!"

Shen Wanqing said: "Well, we will assassinate Yuan Shikai. I need a copy of Yuan Shikai's schedule and his information. The more detailed the better, then I will find some places where I can strike."

Lin Yuan said, "I'll let someone prepare it for you." At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside, and when the door opened, Guan'er was standing at the door panting, Lin Yuan and Shen Wanqing hurriedly helped her in, Shen Wanqing asked: "What's wrong with you? Why are you running so fast?"

Guan'er covered her chest with her hands, gasping for breath, unable to speak, Shen Wanqing asked with a smile, "Are you in a hurry to see your brother Lin Yuan? Look, you're exhausted!"

Lin Yuan blushed, Guan'er shook her head again and again, without any intention of joking, and then said: "I heard the Queen Mother mentioning you when I was in the palace, I just came back, and I want you to get ready, brother!"

Lin Yuan asked: "You mentioned me, what did you mention me?"

Guan'er hurriedly said: "The queen mother was very angry when she heard that you were going to send troops, and said to the emperor: 'Anyone is allowed to send troops, but Lin Yuan is not allowed to send troops. Does he still think that his contribution is not enough?' I heard that she was right. My brother was very dissatisfied, so I wanted to come back and tell my brother earlier, so that my brother would not conflict with her."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan said to Shen Wanqing, "It seems that we don't need to assassinate Yuan Shikai."

Shen Wanqing also nodded and said, "That's right, even if we kill Yuan Shikai, the emperor will send other people to send troops. In that case, those ordinary people will still be killed!"

Lin Yuan nodded helplessly, and Shen Wanqing said, "I have a way!"

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up, and he asked, "What can you do?"

Shen Wanqing said: "We will go with Yuan Shikai's troops. When the time comes, we will act accordingly. We will not only investigate the truth of the matter, but also protect the common people from massacres!"

Lin Yuan said: "This method will not work at all. First of all, the problem is the name. What name do we use to act with Yuan Shikai's troops?"

Shen Wanqing replied: "I've already thought about it. Doesn't Lanzhou have our railway? We will go to Lanzhou in the name of the railway construction team, so that no one will refuse."

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go and tell the emperor right now, speaking of Lanzhou's railway, we have to contact them as soon as possible to see how their situation is going."
