Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

It was already late at night, and there was silence in the cell, only the faint moonlight coming in through the window. Lin Yuan looked at the moonlight outside the window and was in a state of confusion. At this moment, he heard Miss Xiaoye on the bed say, "What are you thinking?"

Lin Yuan said casually: "It's nothing, stop talking, go to bed quickly."

Miss Xiaoye said "Oh", got into the quilt and turned around, and after a while, she got her head out of the quilt again, turned to look at Lin Yuan, and asked carefully: "Are you in a bad mood?"

Lin Yuan smiled and asked, "How did you find out?"

Xiaoye said: "Usually you sleep soundly, but today you can't fall asleep, what else could it be if you're not in a good mood?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said nothing, Xiaoye said: "Are you worried about tomorrow's interrogation?

Lin Yuan shook his head lightly, and Xiaoye asked again: "What crime did you commit?"

Lin Yuan didn't answer, but asked, "Don't you know what crime I committed?"

Xiaoye shook his head, Lin Yuan asked again: "Then you don't know who I am?" Xiaoye continued to shake his head, Lin Yuan asked with a smile: "Didn't Ma Laohei tell you when he sent you in?"

Xiaoye said: "He only said to let me listen to you, he didn't say anything else, and I didn't dare to ask." Lin Yuan didn't speak again, Xiaoye continued: "Do you think I will die?"

Lin Yuan burst out laughing and said, "If I die, I will die. How can you die?"

Xiaoye said: "I was also imprisoned in the sky prison, so I should be considered a prisoner, right?"

Lin Yuan laughed helplessly, and said: "Okay, okay, don't think about it, I assure you, you will be fine, go to bed!" Only then did Xiaoye say "Oh", and turned her head away. Talking again, Lin Yuan looked at her and couldn't help thinking of Guan'er, and his thoughts were filled with thoughts for a while.

Lin Yuan fell asleep in a daze, and he didn't know how much time had passed, when he heard footsteps outside, and saw Ma Laohei walking in with a few guards, Lin Yuan rubbed his eyes and sat up, Ma Laohei saw Lin Yuan slept on the ground while Xiaoye slept on the bed, a scabbard hit Xiaoye's body, and Xiaoye cried in fright, Lin Yuan hurriedly said: "Okay, don't bully her, don't blame her for this, hurry up and get rid of her." Take her away. Didn't you say yesterday that Yuan Shikai was going to interrogate me? Are you going now?"

Ma Laohei said: "My lord, I see that Master Yuan is coming very aggressively. You must not choke him! Follow him, otherwise, if he asks us to carry out the execution, it will be very difficult for us."

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "I won't make things difficult for you."

Ma Laohei bowed to thank him, took the shackles and shackles from his subordinates, waved them in front of Lin Yuan, and said, "I offended you." Lin Yuan stretched out his hand and let Ma Laohei lock himself up, and then followed him When he came to the interrogation place and entered the room, he saw torture tools such as whips and clips hanging on the wall. There was a table in the middle of the room, and Yuan Shikai sat behind the table with a sneer.

Lin Yuan looked at Yuan Shikai with a slight smile, and said, "Master Yuan, what crime are you going to accuse me of today?"

Yuan Shikai pointed to the chair in front of him. Ma Laohei led his men to press Lin Yuan on the chair and sat down. Then Yuan Shikai sneered, "You intend to rebel, so I'll ask you about the serious crime of treason today!"

Lin Yuan asked: "You say I conspired against you, do you have evidence?"

Yuan Shikai took a stack of paper full of words from his subordinates, put it on the table, pushed it in front of Lin Yuan, and said: "This is all the local officials you appointed during your tenure as the governor of the three northeastern provinces. They are all your confidants and friends. Party feathers, you actually arranged for your own people in the Northeast, clearly to make the Northeast your own territory! Isn’t this treason, what is it?”

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Is this the only evidence?"

Yuan Shikai sneered and said, "Of course not!" After Yuan Shikai finished speaking, he took out a stack of photos, put them in front of Lin Yuan, and said, "These photos were all taken in the Northeast. Since Emperor Shunzhi, the ancestor of the Qing Dynasty, has stipulated that common people Hair style, clothing, but in your Northeast, many people don’t wear braids or Qing Dynasty costumes, these photos are ironclad evidence, you don’t want to rebel, what is it?”

Lin Yuan didn't speak, and Yuan Shikai continued: "These photos also show the situation of the army in the Northeast. Your army is so large and the weapons are so advanced, and you don't report it to the court. You raise the army privately. What is it if you don't intend to plot rebellion?"

Lin Yuan sneered: "Why didn't you say these things when my army was fighting the Japanese and Russians?"

Yuan Shikai said: "Yao and Shun also made mistakes. The current sage did not see your ambition clearly before, so he never cared about it. It was only recently that he saw your disobedience!"

Lin Yuan chuckled and said, "Don't say such high-sounding words, don't you just want to kill the donkey? Is there any evidence of my rebellion?"

Yuan Shikai took out a booklet and said: "All my students in the Qing Dynasty learned the way of Confucius and Mencius, and they read the Four Books and Five Classics, but what do you teach in the schools in the Northeast?" After Yuan Shikai finished speaking, he threw the booklet in his hand hard On the table in front of Lin Yuan, he pointed to it and said, "The higher-ups have never mentioned the matter of loyalty to the emperor, not even the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Tell me what you want to do? Lin Yuan, you still don't recognize yourself. Do you want to rebel?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "These things I do are the right way to make the country prosperous and the people happy."

Yuan Shikai slapped the table and said angrily: "Don't tell me these things, I just ask you, do you admit that you rebelled? If you don't admit it, I will be severely punished!"

Lin Yuan didn't answer directly, but asked: "Shouldn't a criminal like me prepare for a public trial?"

Yuan Shikai sneered and said: "Lin Yuan, don't worry, there will definitely be a public trial, but I have to make you submissive first, so that you won't be dishonest when you get the public trial!" Hei and the jailer said, "Give Lin Yuan a taste of the whip first!"

Lin Yuan spread his hands and said, "Master Yuan, I think it's true that you interrogated me and beat me to vent your anger?"

One sentence hit Yuan Shikai's heart, and Lin Yuan guessed right. In fact, Yuan Shikai didn't need to interrogate Lin Yuan now, but he expected that Lin Yuan would not easily admit to the charge of treason, so he thought of interrogating Lin Yuan. If Yuan refused to admit it, he would punish Lin Yuan severely!But he never expected that Lin Yuan would break the matter down with one sentence!

Yuan Shikai argued forcefully: "Nonsense, I am an official of the imperial court, how can I do things that vent my personal anger, Lin Yuan, don't judge the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain! Are you going to recruit or not?"

Lin Yuan chuckled and said, "You don't have to work too hard, I'll recruit them all!"

Yuan Shikai suddenly felt disappointed, Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Master Yuan, am I being honest? Now I also want to ask you something, I hope you can tell me honestly, okay?"

Yuan Shikai asked, "What do you want to know?"

Lin Yuan said: "Did you already know what the emperor wanted to do to me when you were in Gansu? Did you come back to Beijing from Gansu just for this?"

Yuan Shikai said: "That's right!"

Lin Yuan asked: "Then can you tell me why you didn't reveal this matter at all when you were in Gansu, even to the closest people?"
