218 First Punch Next

Yuan Shikai's study. In the smoke, Yuan Shikai was rubbing his hands directly, which made the air very nervous.

A Japanese military attache stared at the carpet, like a statue, motioning.

The British Zhu Andian lay on the sofa with a big cigar and said: "There is a big "Zhang" red flag hanging on the big mast in front of the gate of the Governor's Mansion of Jiangsu. I don't know Yuan, do you know? The foreign envoys in Nanjing were very surprised by this. They asked me to ask why Nanjing City did not hang the national flag of the Republic of China.

"This..." Yuan Shikai just pretended not to know about it. He scolded secretly, and the British were too broad-minded!

After defeating the revolutionary army in the Battle of Guichou, Yuan Shikai issued a large number of medals and promotion orders. Zhang Xun got a Xun and the governor of Jiangsu. Yuan's original intention was to give Jiangsu Dudu to his cronin Feng Guozhang, but in this Nanjing battle, the first to attack the city was the braided army under Zhang Xun. In order to show his selflessness and commendation, he had to change his plan and give Jiangsu Dudu to Zhang Xun. Therefore, after collecting the remnants of the Yuan army inside and outside Nanjing, Feng Guozhang silently led his troops across the river. Zhang Xun's misdeeds in Nanjing. He also took a telegram at most to ask. Zhang Xun also replied a few telegrams to explain. Yuan Shikai also turned a blind eye and did not delve deeply, and everyone fooled to live.

"There is one more thing," Zhu Andian whispered; "The braided soldiers burned, killed and robbed indiscriminately, and did everything. The refugees wandered to Shanghai, an international metropolis. Now, the streets and alleys there are full of refugees speaking in public, telling the bloody and tearful stories of their escape from Nanjing. Many newspapers are widely published, which has a very bad impact on the world and seriously damaged the civilization of the new China as the First Republic of the Far East. The image. The braided soldiers were more barbaric than the Germans in the Middle Ages. European people opposed giving loans to such a "barbaric" government and asked the government to terminate the advance payment of the balance of the banks of the five countries. In Britain, this also created a lot of pressure on Congress. I hope Yuan, you must pay attention to this. If you can't give an explanation to international public opinion, we are likely to terminate the loan.

"Ah!" Yuan Shikai was tongue-tied, and then he knew that the matter was serious: "Yes! I must have been strict with Zhang Xun.

"We don't want to interfere in China's internal affairs," Zhu Andian smoked a few cigars: "The braided soldiers are really too bad. Zhang Xun's brother, Zhang Jingyao from Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, is worse than Zhang Xun, but it doesn't have such a big impact, because Nanjing is really too close to Shanghai, and there are many foreigners, so it can't be covered up.

"I will definitely deal with this matter beautifully," Yuan Shikai shouted, "Very beautiful!"

Yuan Shikai's wallet was pinched by this foreigner, and he had to recognize it.

"Well," Zhu Andian put half of the cigar in a tall ashtray and rubbed it out and said, "I hope it can calm the international public opinion that is unfavorable to the government of the Republic of China..."

"This matter was all wrong with Zhang Xun," Yuan Shikai said fiercely, "He has to take the blame alone, and the reputation of the government can be preserved. My royal newspaper will also write a few articles well. Old friend, can you help me introduce a few friends from foreign newspapers and help me write some articles to defend.

Zhu Andian looked at Yuan Shikai with new eyes. Unexpectedly, this fat man could still think of this and nodded with appreciation.

"Mr. President," another military attachutistrate of the Japanese consulate who has been silent for a long time, said, "For Zhang Xun's nonsense in Nanjing, the braided soldiers burned, killed and robbed indiscriminately, our Japanese Empire had no right to intervene. However, one day, the braided army killed the wrong person and injured three Japanese. The whole country of the Japanese Empire was shocked, and the soldiers actually petitioned the Imperial Foreign Minister Makino to send troops to China. His Excellency Shanzuo, the minister of the Imperial Japanese Empire in China, sent me a note and made a serious protest to President Yuan, asking the Chinese government to apologize to Japan and dismiss Zhang Xun at the same time. But just now, the president has felt that Zhang Xun has been dismissed. We just need Zhang Xun to apologize to the Empire of Japan and make compensation at the same time.

"How dare he kill and injure the Japanese?" Yuan Shikai stretched out his thumb and pressed his temple. Zhang Xun was really a troublesome demon king, but this is also to blame the Japanese and the revolutionaries, because the revolutionaries like to pretend to be Japanese and run away, and the Japanese like to pretend to be Chinese to collect intelligence, but Yuan Shikai dared to say it, but he said obediently, "I will definitely give your country an explanation. Of."

......

After Zhang Xun became the governor of Jiangsu, a large Nanjing city immediately could not see the atmosphere of the Republic of China, completely restoring the atmosphere of the Qing Dynasty.

He absolutely does not allow his soldiers to cut off their braids, because the braids have become a special symbol of his army. He was angry when he saw people wearing suits and cutting short hair. When he saw braids, he was introduced as comrades. Therefore, the trend of dragging braids and fake braids suddenly became popular in Nanjing. He is absolutely not allowed to use the word "Qianqing". He believes that the area under his rule should still be "the Qing Dynasty".

The big pillars and pillars of the governor's mansion in Jiangsu were painted with a scarlet, which brought back the drummers and gunners in the era of the governors of the two rivers. They blew three times a day and fired three times a day. All this was the official system and appearance of the Qing Dynasty. He not only restored the General Office of Donation, the General Office of Grain and Taiwan, the General Office of Supervision and Marketing, Daotai, the magistrate, the county magistrate, etc., but also everything was "Zha Committee". There is a magistrate "Jiangning Prefecture Yang" in Nanjing, and two magistrates "Jiangning County Zuo" and "Shangyuan County Shen". The name of the old man, the poor speed and so on have been restored in the government of Zhixian County. The county magistrate sat in the hall and restored the torture tools such as rattan and small strips. Officials of all sizes in Nanjing are dragging their braids and playing sedan chairs in the upper courtyard. When they meet, they have to hand over their notebooks first. When they see the "marshal", they have to kneel down and worship and claim to be inferior. All of this is the rule of the governor's office of Liangjiang.

When Zhang Xun was driven out of Nanjing by the Jiangsu and Zhejiang allied forces, the police in the city once welcomed the revolutionary soldiers into the city, so Zhang Xun held a grudge. This time, after he recovered Nanjing, he first dismissed all the police in Nanjing, replaced the police with braided soldiers, and then recruited a group of Beiyang police from the north. The battalions of the braided soldiers used dragon heads and arrows, while the officials wore blue uniforms of the Qing Dynasty. The military flag of the Republic of China was not allowed to be hung in the barracks, but the red and white centipede flag was to be hung. The national flag of the Republic of China is not allowed to be hoisted. The big mast in front of the governor's mansion of Jiangsu is a big red flag with the word "Zhang".

Yuan pretended not to know all these strange phenomena.

However, Zhang Xun played too much and was fanned by Li Xiang's back. Now Lord Yang is protesting. Yuan Shikai was still caught by Lord Yang. Yuan Shikai happened to want to replace Zhang Xun, so he sent Zhang Xun's old friend Ruan Zhongshu to Nanjing.

"Sir," Zhang Xun waited for his old friend Ruan Zhongshu to sit still and said softly, "Looking forward to it day, looking forward to night, sir is finally here. What do you think of my weather in Nanjing? Sir, would you like to be my national policy adviser? I want to hear more of your opinions. Let's conspire to restore the country! Zhongxing Qing Dynasty! Create another glorious foundation in the Qing Dynasty!"

Ruan Zhongshuzhou was tired, his face was a little puffy, and he leaned slightly and said, "The emperor is abdicated in accordance with the world trend, which can also be said to be a voluntary abdication, not to mention the change of dynasties. This is the cycle of history, and there is no dynasties for all generations. I can understand the mood of discerning the handsome, but this era is really different. Gong Bao has begun to follow the trend..."

Zhang Xun grinned to scold, restrained again and said, "Sir, why do you think so?"

Ruan Zhongshu raised his body and rubbed his hands uneasily. He felt that he had talked too straight with Zhang Xun, a slightly abnormal guy, but when he came here, he couldn't help but say, "What you said makes me uneasy. I shouldn't talk so deeply. Maybe I'm wrong, preferably I'm wrong."

Zhang Xun also felt that what he had just said was too direct. It may not be a good thing to reach Yuan Shikai's ears. He smiled and said, "You and my old friend, do you have a heart-to-heart talk? What's the point of not speaking from the heart? I think so too. Maybe I'm wrong, and it's better that I'm wrong. But it's going to rain, and my mother wants to get married. Why not gossip? Do you think so?"

Seeing what Ruan Zhongshu said here, he also gently told Zhang Xun the opinion of the diplomatic corps and asked him to resign automatically so as not to cause greater diplomatic pressure.

Zhang Xunzheng was happy to be his "Governor of Liangjiang". After listening to Ruan Zhongshu's talk, he was so angry that one Buddha was born, and the second Buddha ascended to heaven. He stamped his feet and said, "My seal is made with his own life. Yuan Gongbao can do what he wants. There is no need to scare me with foreigners, and there is no need to bother you. Advise me."

Ruan Zhongshu returned happily and returned everything to Yuan Shikai.

Yuan Shikai was also a little nervous about Zhang Yang Shuai, and sent Li Shengduo, Liu Enyuan, Qian Nengxun and Duan Zhigui to Nanjing one after another to persuade Zhang to accept the new life - the Yangtze River Patrol.

Duan Zhigui's longest resignation, he said, "The president does have difficulties and does not want to cause diplomatic difficulties."

Then he conveyed Yuan Shikai's intention and asked Zhang Xun to become the Yangtze River patrol envoy. He described the patrol envoy as a higher than the governor in the official position. The governor was only in charge of the military of one province, while the patrol envoy was in charge of the military in several provinces.

Zhang Xun was really moved, and at the same time, he did not have the ability to dare to disobey orders, so he put forward three transfer conditions: first, the 650,000 yuan he spent during his tenure as governor of Jiangsu was allowed to be reimbursed; second, please allocate another 500,000 yuan after the transfer; third, he must have practical power to patrol the Yangtze River to control Hunan and Lake. Water police in the five provinces of North, Jiangxi, Anhui and Jiangsu.

Duan Zhigui returned Zhang Xun's conditions to Yuan Shikai, and Yuan Shikai accepted them all without thinking about it.

Yuan Shikai issued a new personnel order, transferred Zhang Xun as the governor of the Yangtze River, and appointed Feng Guozhang as the governor of Jiangsu.

After dealing with Zhang Xun, Yuan Shikai's eyes were on Hubei. The madman Li suddenly punched him at the end of the Second Revolution, which really hit him. Now it's time to bear his thunderous anger!
