Jagged Warlord

"That's the time to send an envoy. The good or bad luck of this trip is unpredictable, so I'll go." Bo Ziming was the first to come forward.

Juzheng waved his hand again, and said, "No, Ziming, as the Commander of Dainan, how could you risk yourself like this?"

"Let me go." A young man with a thin face came out from behind the crowd

"You? Jiang Zhiqing?" Juzheng looked at the thin young man

Jiang Zhiqing was considered a junior in the Tongmenghui. In 1910, Jiang Zhiqing graduated from Zhenwu School in Japan where he studied abroad. As a "commissioned officer candidate", he was assigned to the 13th Field Artillery Regiment of the 19th Division of the Army stationed in Takata, Niigata County. enlist in the army.During the Revolution of [-], Jiang Zhiqing served as the captain of the Death Squad of the Hangzhou Revolutionary Army.Later, in order to help Chen Qimei seize power, he also shot and killed Tao Chengzhang, the leader of the Restoration Society, in the hospital.Therefore, in the eyes of many veteran members of the League, Jiang Zhiqing is just a killer assassin, neither honorable nor important.

"Xiao Jiang, this task is very difficult and dangerous. You must be prepared to sacrifice for the great cause of opposing Yuan at any time." Juzheng took a step forward and supported Jiang Zhiqing's shoulder.

"I'm not afraid. It's an honor to sacrifice for Mr. Sun's revolutionary cause." Jiang Zhiqing replied

"Okay. Bring the wine and practice it for Comrade Jiang Zhiqing." Bo Ziming said

Jiang Zhiqing's expression was very solemn and solemn, and the wind was rustling, the water was cold, and the strong man was gone and never returned. The eyes of several young revolutionaries were red.

……Dividing line……

Yang Du believes that "China is a country that must be a monarchy".No one, no matter who he is, can go beyond this fact.Yuan Shikai can be called a contemporary hero, and the new monarch must be him! Thinking of this, Yang Du has his own plan: "For such a big event, hide behind the scenes. In the future, someone else will be the founding father of the country, and he will be the jumping official. I won’t do it. I, Yang Du, should be the one to organize celebrities to set up academic groups.” So, after Xia Shoutian left, Yang Du left the American articles and started writing by himself.Yang Du is worthy of being a contemporary genius, and a big article "Saving the Country by the Constitution" was published soon.

When this strange article like a heavy artillery shell was presented to Yuan Shikai, Yuan Shikai felt as if he had found a treasure. He hung up the lamp and sat at his desk eagerly, read it three times in one breath, and praised it repeatedly. "The four-character plaque was presented to Yang, and a special order was issued that "Yang Du gave the plaque to one side".Yang Du was flattered, and immediately submitted a "Thank you" note: Fu Niandu was obscene with little talent, absurdly participated in public opinion, Fang was ashamed of his duty, neglected the topic of lotus products, and Wei Yu decorated it for a long time, so there was no place for fear.Fortunately, the General Secretary is facing difficulties, fighting against dangers and doubts, and is able to spend the rest of his life in hardships, and it is a wonderful meeting of enlightenment.The reputation is absurd, and there are many blames for returning to the bow; only the skin and bones remain, and the heart of serving the country is not exhausted.Thank you for all your sincere thanks, and I respectfully present to President Jun Jian.

Soon, Yang Du's wonderful essay was distributed by Duan Zhigui's secret seal to the military and political chiefs of the provinces.

Knowing that his "theory" was accepted by Yuan Shikai and promoted to the whole country, Yang Du was very happy, and strengthened his determination to create a great cause: he wanted to strive for the first merit and the founding father of the country.Didn't Yuan Shikai want to have a group of "big celebrities" to create public opinion for him? Well, I will form a group for him mainly composed of "big celebrities".

Yang Du had charisma and a group of cronies. Soon, he invited five people including Sun Yuyun, Hu Ying, Yan Fu, Liu Shipei, and Li Xiehe to form a group to reform the imperial system. On August 5, 1915, The 8-person joint "Tianjin" was issued on the 14st, which listed a large list of Chinese and foreign situations, the advantages and disadvantages of the systems of various countries, and finally stated that their organization is an "academic group" whose purpose is "to raise the security of a country" and "to promote the national situation" The future and the interests of the republic, each expresses its own views, in order to fully discuss and learn from each other."It is hoped that "people with far-sightedness from all over the country will be willing to come and discuss with each other."Because his purpose is to "raise the security of a country", its name is naturally called "the meeting to raise security".As a result, in the modern history of China, there appeared a backward organization full of clown organizations - the Preparatory Security Association.Someone put a high hat on Yang Du and others, calling them "Six Gentlemen of the Chou Anhui".

Liang Qichao, who had always advocated republicanism, did his part and fought against each other in Shanghai's "Great China" monthly magazine, which clearly opposed proclaiming the emperor. Big newspapers such as "Shenbao" and "Times" quickly reprinted it, and it became popular for a while, arousing strong repercussions throughout the country.

On the other hand, Cai E, Liang Qichao's high-ranking student, secretly discussed with his teacher Liang Qichao, exchanged secret messages with the military circles of Yun and Gui provinces, and sent a special person to send a 17-page secret letter to Huang Xing, who was far away in the United States. Tell Huang Xing about his plan to return to the southwest to launch an attack.On the other hand, he indulged in romantic affairs all day long to show his depression, and said to everyone: "Our husband is a nerd and doesn't know current affairs." He pretended to part ways with Liang Qichao.

Because Liang Qichao had publicly published "The So-Called Problem of the National System" against Yuan Shikai's proclaiming emperor.On a signature book in favor of the imperial system, led by Cai E, followed by Jiang Zungui, Sun Wu, Tang Zaili, Jiang Zuobin, Jiang Fangzhen, Zhang Yijue, Chen Yi, etc., a total of 12 generals signed on it.

Naturally, a traitor like Yuan Shikai would not trust him. He was still not at ease with Cai E in his heart, so he secretly sent someone to search his home for the purpose of checking the telegraph code book.Because Cai E had taken precautions in advance, he was spared by bringing dozens of codes to the bedroom of Liang Qichao's home in the Tianjin Concession.

Ju Ren Tang in Zhongnanhai kept saying that the generals were ushered in day and night, and the generals were sent away. They all came to "report on their duties" to their president.Feng Guozhang was the first, Feng Guozhang left, Jin Yunpeng from Shandong came; Push your heels in.While the generals from these provinces were being called in one after another, some people found that generals who were not in charge of the military affairs of a province were also called in, such as Zhang Zuolin, the commander of the 27th Division in Fengtian, and Wang Zhanyuan, the commander of the Second Division in Hubei.

People were a little surprised: "They also entered Zhongnanhai!?"

For such a large-scale debriefing campaign, Yuan Shikai treated it as a top priority: In terms of form, he adopted the etiquette of Xinjiang officials meeting the president, setting up cases and setting tables, and etiquette according to regulations. Yuan Shikai wore a white tasseled military cap and gold thread The Generalissimo with epaulettes in blue uniform, sitting majestically on the throne of the Grand President, he walked in and out with goose-shaped duck steps.

However, the content of its "debriefing" is bizarre and ridiculous: debriefing, as the name suggests, is a person who is sent to a foreign country or other place to take on a special mission, and reports on the performance of his duties after being recalled.But Yuan Shikai didn't. When the general who reported his duties came in, he took the initiative to exchange greetings, asking about the daily life, the security in the province, and the people's conditions. A few years ago, tell me, how has it been done?”

Fortunately, these generals got some information from Yang Du in advance, so these generals were calm.When Yuan Shikai asked, they answered confidently: "We have really failed to achieve success in running the republic. The common people hope that the president will take more responsibility and handle the country's affairs better."

Of course, apart from these, what is even more surprising is that Li Mohan, the newly appointed inspector of the Yangtze River, just sent a personal teacher to report on his duties instead, and everyone secretly accused him of being arrogant and rude.On the contrary, Yuan Shikai was very open-minded, he didn't take it seriously at all, and still met Liu Musheng who came from afar with a pleasant face.

Liu Musheng also followed the way of ancient courtiers when they met the king, kowtowing as soon as they met. Yuan Shikai said that people from the Republic of China were exempt from this, but he was very happy in his heart.

Liu Musheng stood up generously, handed over a post with both hands, and said: "Our young master dare not leave easily because the Japanese are still eyeing Shandong, so he can only appoint a villain to replace him, and ask the president to come down. This is a little filial piety from my young master."

The servant took the red post and gave it to Yuan Shikai. Yuan Shikai opened the post, frowned slightly, and said, "What does this mean?"

Liu Musheng said: "My young master said that the reason why some people in the SS Army disobeyed orders and organized troops to go to Shandong to fight the Japanese army is entirely because the army lacks a person who can represent the central government and the president. So This time, the villain is here to ask the President to send a supervisor."

The ancient emperors often sent eunuchs to the army to serve as supervisors. What Liu Musheng said made Yuan Shikai feel distracted.He chuckled and said, "The Republic of China is now, and it's not the Tang and Ming dynasties. How can there be any supervising army? But, the Chinese army, I, Yuan, started training at a small station, and all the soldiers in China can be regarded as my disciples and grandchildren."

"What the President said is true." Liu Musheng took the opportunity to present several high hats

Yuan Shikai put away the post with a smile and said, "Then, do you young masters have any favorite candidates?"

Liu Musheng wondered, why did these words sound so twisted?However, he still replied respectfully: "Our young master heard that General Jiang Fangzhen has a lot of experience in military training, so he would like to invite General Jiang to help with the drill."

The complacent and flattered Yuan Shikai is still a cunning and cunning hero. After weighing it up, he felt that the two young men with hairless mouths could not cause any trouble.What's more, Jiang Fangzhen and a group of old Beiyang are still quite incompatible. In addition, Jiang Fangzhen and Cai E are very close, and transferring him to Henan is tantamount to weakening Cai E.

"Okay, then we can only let Baili suffer a little bit." Yuan Shikai said: "Let's leave this matter to the Ministry of War."

"Thank you, President, for your success." Liu Musheng hurriedly "thank you".

"Go back and tell your master that in this critical period, we must put appeasement of the region and protect the environment and the people as the top priority, and we must not recklessly kill and fight competition. Especially we must not damage the harmony of allies." Yuan Shikai waved his hand, "Go down."

"Yes." Liu Musheng stood up, took three steps back, and then turned around and walked out of the Nuan Pavilion.

Looking at the distant figure of Liu Musheng, Yuan Shikai seemed to see himself a few years ago.At that time, after I had an audience with Lafayette Cixi, I walked out like this.

Yuan Shikai looked down at his throne, and murmured: "Time has changed and the world has changed~ God's will."
