273 How high is the sky?
The young Marshal Li was stunned.
It's the first time he's heard of the name of Kesi. After all, he is still a foreigner, even if he has been a messenger to the revolutionary military government before. However, what surprised Li was that the foreigner did not secretly collude with Yuan Shikai to deal with the revolutionary army. Unexpectedly, he had something to do with Li Yuanhong.
However, he is not afraid at all. Li Yuanhong is now purely decorated in Hubei. But... Li Xiang's eyes turned around and said with a smile, "What did Lord Yang say when he invited you to dinner?"
Tang Qianming tried to put on a gentle smile and said, "Li Shuai hasn't answered my question yet, but asked me first."
"My plan--" Li Xiang's two shoulders were loose, looking relaxed. "It's a long story..." I'm afraid it will shock everyone!
Tang Qianming's eyes flashed with wisdom and some kind of danger, and she said with dignity, "That's a long story short!"
Li Xiang didn't like him and said disapprovingly, "I'm afraid I can't figure it out for a while!" Since you said it first, let's continue."
It's not easy to deal with. The conversation seems to have been dominated by this stinky boy. If you want to pry open his mouth, you still need to take out some material first.
Tang Qianming's face seemed to soften and smiled, "Kes said to us: You are very enthusiastic about the revolution, but if the Qing court is defeated, none of you revolutionaries can unify China."
That's true! Li, who is familiar with history, wants to know that what the foreign devil said is right. Not only the League does not have this ability, but even if he does not have this ability, otherwise he will not run to Shanghai to hold the small legs of the League and strive to organize the coalition's Northern Expedition, so that it is possible to unify China by force in the shortest time.
Li Xiang nodded slowly, immediately shook his head, put on a sneer, and said, "Nonsense! Naturally, it is impossible for revolutionaries to do it alone. No one can stop them when they unite. Yuan Shikai and the foreign devils have to step aside!"
The young Li Marshal is really a young man. He is easy to be hot-blooded, ideal and naive. He is really enviable. If you want to unite the power of the Southern Revolutionary Party, it is better to expect Yuan Shikai to be a Washington!
Tang Qianming sneered imperceptiblely and said, "At that time, I replied that there were many talents in the revolutionary party, and they must be able to organize the government and unify the whole country."
"Oh?" Li was a little surprised. He put down the wine glass he was going to drink and looked at Tang Yuewan's uncle. He actually said such a thing, and he didn't know whether it was true or false? What did Lord Yang say later?
"Kesi said," Tang Qianming said in a plain voice without any ups and downs, perhaps imitating Kesi's tone at that time. "In my opinion, only Yuan Shikai can do the cause of China's unification."
"I'm still wondering," Li Xiang smiled with an ironic smile. "Why didn't this foreign master collude with Yuan Shikai, but had something to do with Li Yuanhong. It turned out that the collusion with Yuan Shikai was behind his back? If this whole thing is connected, it won't be a huge trap, will it?
"My Li Shuai, it's not so exaggerated. Ke Si only brought a letter to Li Yuanhong, and now he brings another letter to Yuan Shikai. Yuan Shikai, like Li Yuanhong, invited us to Beijing to study the national body together, and hoped that we would support peace and avoid unnecessary wars. It's all for the motherland!" Tang Qianming leaned forward, "But - we refused."
This is in the heart of Li Dashuai.
Not only does Li Yuanhong think, but also Yuan Shikai thinks, and I also want to! Look at your four "seas" big, the 4,300-ton sea, which is the largest cruiser of this era! Who doesn't think you are drooling! The young Marshal Li shouted in his heart.
"Why Yuan Shikai's invitation? Your Beiyang relationship has always been very good, hasn't it? Song Que suddenly asked curiously, "In addition, I also have a question. The foreign devils respect Yuan Shikai so much. Why do you reject the foreign devil's good intentions? Do you know? The British Asiatic Fleet and the Japanese First Fleet in China are all gathering in Shanghai. These foreign devils will definitely stand on Yuan Shikai's side. Maybe they will become Yuan Shikai's mercenaries!"
"Our navy is either a nurse or a mother." Tang Qianming whispered, and there was a trace of anger in his tone.
"The naval righteousness is also for the republic, and there is also a revolutionary righteousness." Du Xiyu next to him interrupted.
"Revolution..." Hearing them say the sacred word "revolution", Song Que opened his eyes wide. No matter how conceited he was at ordinary times, he also knew that his expression at this moment looked more like a soldier who had just joined the army. Song Que sighed and was completely speechless.
If he believes that Tang Qianming, who is as famous as Zhang Du, is a revolutionary, Li Dashuai feels that he should find a piece of tofu to kill him! The young Marshal Li also sighed. Isn't it boring to talk about revolution with these guys?
"I guess Yuan Shikai's offer is too low..." Li Xiang laughed and guessed people's hearts with the most despicable thoughts.
"I have said so much about me. I really want to know what Li Shuai plans to do in the future?" The naval commander Tang Qianming has not forgotten this problem. Captain Du Xikui also wants to know about this problem. The conversation in the corridor has not been concluded yet.
Li wanted to know that he couldn't escape and shrugged his shoulders. This mature man's very elegant action in the movie seemed a little funny to appear on the young Marshal Li. He still said the same as Du Xijiu: "I don't plan to have it, but Mr. Tang may not listen, because I only plan to go to Shanghai, fiercely. Stir up his mother's peace.
This is his truth, but he has a lot of reservations. He is afraid that it will scare them.
Hearing Marshal Li's rude words, the senior officials who had stayed abroad frowned.
Tang Qianming sounded silently, and suddenly looked up and smiled. He looked at the gas lamp on the ceiling. After a while of silence, his eyes fell on Marshal Li again and said with a hoarse smile, "After touching the wine glass for a long time, does Li Shuai still regard me as a friend?"
Li Xiang showed his signature smile again and said, "I and Xiaowan are best friends. I treat you as an elder, but I dare not be a friend."
Tang Qianming glanced at her niece's best friend strangely. She was so thick-skinned! This is what he said in his heart. Zhengrong said, "If Li Shuaizhi is only here, he will not carry out the revolution to the end under the pressure of the Beiyang army, nor will he take back the Hankou Concession at the risk of war with foreigners, let alone go to the dangerous Shanghai at this time, just to smash the place of peace talks!" Nephew, did your uncle say something wrong? Tang Qianming also has the cheek to call himself uncle!
Is this Tang Qianming that has aroused the resentment of the people of Hunan in history? Li thought that his heart turned upside down, and his face was indeed as if nothing had happened. He smiled faintly and said, "How can uncle misread it, but what I said is also the truth. Yuan Shikai is really the stalk of republican - Qing's father does not die, and it is difficult! The Northern Expedition is imperative; peace must not wait!"
Tang Qianming showed an unfathomable smile, shook his glass and said, "I heard that Mr. Sun Yat-sen will return to Shanghai in the next few days. No matter who can get the support of Mr. Sun Yat-sen, he will be able to call Bai Nuo!"
Li Xiang is even more secretive in his heart, and the old traitor is extremely slippery. This Tang Qianming is worthy of Tang Hualong's younger brother actually speculates out 60% or 70% of the facts. Sun and Huang are not greedy for the title of power. He has something he can't do. He plans to take them to Hankou to make a signboard. However, this is the worst plan. Li Xiang's biggest purpose of coming to Shanghai is indeed to organize the Northern Expedition in order to destroy peace. But such a big truth is so scary that no one believes it.
Li Xiang sighed and simply admitted, "Uncle is so awesome!"
Tang Qianming was satisfied with Li's ambition and said indifferently, "Why don't you make it bigger?"
Li Xiang said puzzledly, "How can I make it bigger?"
Tang Qianming smiled and looked more ordinary than usual. He looked confident and relaxed, but it made Li think that he felt a kind of devilish madness and slowly said, "No matter what kind of support you want, we can supply it. You know that Xiaowan's father is also very influential in the Constitutional Council.
Drink! In turn, recruit yourself first! Li wanted to shake his head and said, "I'm used to being arrogant and unruly, and I'm not used to being disciplined by others."
Tang Qianming cut him off and said, "You two are not afraid of being disciplined by others, but don't want to succumb to others. If I don't understand this, I won't say this today."
Du Xiyu continued beside him and said, "I don't know how thick the sky is!"
Tang Qianming's eyebrows jumped and interrupted with a smile, "Lao Du, don't say anything angry. Whoever can defeat the Beiyang Army is qualified to speak like Li Shuai." Staring at the young Marshal Li again, he was extremely envious and said with an extremely sincere smile, "Now the situation in the south has been reversed by the withdrawal of the Beiyang army from Hubei, but looking around the heroes, there is really no one in the south who can compete with Yuan Shikai, including Li Shuai and Mr. Sun Yat-sen, who returned empty-handed. Although Li Shuai, although you are interested in the world, your strength is still weak after all. Maintaining the victory in Hubei is also the result of paying the price of blood. So, why don't we talk about the possibility of cooperating with each other? Together, we can fight against Yuan Shikai together.
The young Marshal Li immediately raised a strange feeling and felt the scenery after defeating the Beiyang Army. Otherwise, why should we be on an equal footing with the naval commander, let alone talk about cooperation? At the beginning of Wuchang's righteousness, he was in Hankou, and immediately many people came to Hankou to seize his power, because his prestige and strength were not enough to be recognized by the world!
It's a bit like Tang Qianming in history.
Seeing that Li Xiang was still meditating, Tang Qianming said, "I also know your concerns. In fact, we also have concerns. Only in one case can we really work together, that is, to marry my niece Tang Yuewan to you..."
Tang Qianming said something extremely shocking.
The people around him who had never made a sound were all dumbfounded. Li Xiang's face was a little confused, and a little longing, and the intricate expressions alternated, and the joy and anger were inseparable.
