137 Ye Weiyang 8

The night is like paint, and the ruins of a big city destroyed by the war are like a ghostland. On the periphery of this dead city is a huge barracks, and the lights float in the barracks. The camp is vast and spreads out for several miles.

In a military tent, a lamp is like a bean.

Only the sound of the cold wind passing outside the tent can be heard here, like the resentment whimpering from the ghostland of the dead city. The night was quiet and strange. Duan Qirui, who had been unable to sleep with his eyes open, suddenly moved his heart and sat up in his clothes.

According to the news from Hankou, Ge Fu's golden-haired devil returned to Hankou, with a ridiculous and haunted peace, and Duan Qirui should also receive an armistice agreement covered with Li Yuan's Hong's seal. Maybe he was holding a celebration banquet in Liu Yuan and drinking Europa's wine and listening to the singing of the superstars.

Since he led the Jiangbei army into Hubei to suppress bandits, he seems to have been fighting for this goal. The goal of suppressing bandits is not to maintain the rule of the Qing Dynasty. The corruption of the Qing court has reached an irredeprehensable level. Except for the Manchurian people themselves and a few stubborn parties, both intellectuals and ordinary people, there is an unexpirable dislike for the Qing court, and almost everyone hopes to revive the country in another dynasty. Tang Cai's movement in Hankou, Kang Youwei, Liang Qichao, Tan Sitong's movement, and the movement of revolutionaries in Guangdong, Hunan, Zhejiang and other provinces. Although the opportunity is not familiar, it rises and falls from time to time. However, ordinary people are looking forward to the success of the revolutionary faction, and secretly expresses their regret and hope that someone will rise again. Finally, Zhang Shao marched into the army in Luanzhou, so he asked the Qing court to issue 19 creeds, and all royal families were not allowed to ask about politics. On the one hand, Wu Luzhen's behavior in Shijiazhuang was certainly dissatisfied with Yuan Shikai, and he originally wanted to overthrow the Qing court by himself. As for Yuan Shikai himself, since he was deposed, it was even more obvious. .

But there are too many waves and clouds in the middle, and too many ups and downs. At the beginning, the chaos of the new army in Wuchang City affected the clan party struggle within the Qing Dynasty, to the pouring of Beiyang interest groups, to Yuan Shikai took the opportunity to promote the rise. Later, the independence trend of the provinces of the country, and the restless air in the eastern suburbs of the people's alleys... All these complex changes made him the purpose of leading the army into Hubei. It is also constantly changing. Tonight, my ever-changing goal has finally been achieved. He has achieved Yuan Shikai's goal!

After the Wuchang Uprising, the Qing court immediately sent the Army Minister, Imchang, to lead the Beiyang army to Wuchang to suppress the revolution. However, the Beiyang Army was cultivated by Yuan Shikai. Most of the generals were Yuan's confidants and did not listen to the transfer of shade Chang. On the day of Feng Guozhang receiving the order, he secretly visited Yuan Shikai, and Yuan gave him the secret of "go slowly and wait and see". In the face of the rising revolutionary situation, the Qing court was helpless. In this situation, the government and the opposition unanimously demanded the use of Yuan Shikai to save the crisis.

On August 23rd, the third year of Xuantong, the Qing court issued an order that "the governor of Huguang made Yuan Shikai make up for it and supervised the suppression", and asked Yuan Shikai to lead the Beiyang army south to suppress the revolution. Yuan deliberately delayed and refused to go out of the mountain on the pretext that "the old foot disease has not been greatly healed so far". At the same time, he instructed the Beiyang generals to take a wait-and-see attitude for the time being and not to march rashly. On September 6, the Qing army's attack on Wuhan was frustrated, and Hunan, Shaanxi, Jiangxi and other provinces revolted one after another. The Qing court had to appoint Yuan Shikai as the imperial envoy to restrain the water and land forces in Hubei. But Yuan Shikai is still not satisfied. Through Xu Shichang, he proposed to the Qing court to convene a parliament, organize a responsible cabinet, grant him full military power, and ensure the supply of adequate military supplies. The Qing court refused to easily accept all Yuan Shikai's demands. Just as Yuan Shikai was bargaining with the Qing court and holding on, the Wuhan Revolutionary Army had restored most of Hubei. After Hunan, Shaanxi and Jiangxi, more than a dozen provinces in the country became independent one after another, and the revolutionary situation continued to rise. At this time, the Cabinet of Government also submitted to the Qing court, advocating the opening of the National Assembly as soon as possible and the abolition of the royal cabinet. Zhang Shao, the 20th town of the new army stationed in Luanzhou, Zhili, cooperated with Lan Tianwei and other electronic political programs with the 2nd Mixed Association, and plotted an uprising with Wu Luzhen, the 6th town. The shouts of the Senior Cabinet and the military extort of Zhang Shaozeng echoed Yuan Shikai. Under this huge pressure, the Qing government was forced to give in. It quickly issued an "crime edict", promulgated the "19 Creed" of the Constitution, ordered the release of political prisoners, disbanded the royal cabinet, appointed Yuan Shikai as the prime minister of the cabinet, and organized a "responsible cabinet". The military and political power of the Qing government fell into the hands of Yuan Shikai. So Yuan Shikai immediately went out of the mountain and went south, commanded the Beiyang army to attack the revolutionary army, successively conquered Hankou and Hanyang, and set up cannons on Guishan to bombard Wuchang. However, Yuan Shikai only bombarded across the river and did not want to capture Wuchang immediately. He tried to take advantage of the confrontation between the north and the south to gradually steal the national power.

What about the back? What on earth should he do in the future? Duan Qirui is a very deep-minded person. Naturally, he is very clear about Yuan Shikai's deep ambition. Although the Qing court did not ask about politics, the name of the Qing Emperor had not been officially sold. Yuan Shikai, as the prime minister, was in charge of the military and all political power. His most concern was how the central government of China would take the lead. Of course, the Qing Emperor would abdicate. The independence of the south, how to make it sell and obey the central government. This is his calculation. Now the North-South peace talks can't be said to the outside world.

Since he has followed Yuan Shikai to this point, he also wants to have a result, be a meritorious minister of the founding of the country, go to Lingyan Pavilion, and seal the Marquis of Wanhu. At the beginning of the peace conference, Feng Guozhang has walked in front of him. In the future, he will walk again. There is no chance to surpass him. It is difficult for outsiders to see what kind of entanglement danger there is inside Beiyang.

The world has been in chaos. Duan Qirui asked himself, what kind of storms will be waiting for him in the future? He has intuitively felt that I'm afraid that the future will make him feel more thrilling. The change of destiny is the time for heroes to rise up.

He pulled the wind button around his neck and thought about Yuan Shikai's mind. Whether it is the constitutional monarchy or republican democracy, these are not important. As long as he can only be the prime minister and the president, everything will be discussed.

This era has changed, and it is no longer the world of one family. A smile appeared from the corners of his mouth, and he also had the opportunity to take over the Beiyang family business, become a prime minister, and become a big president.

But from beginning to end, there is a person in front of him. Feng Guozhang is his biggest competitor. From beginning to end, he did not regard the Alliance and Li Xiang as his obstacle. In troubled times, the barrel of the gun came out of power. Now Feng Guozhang has done this big event for Yuan Shikai in Hankou, and there will be some prestige in the future.

While Duan Qirui was seriously thinking about the problem, he heard someone reporting outside his residence. Listening to the sound, I knew that Xu Shuzheng, who was his general counsel in Jiangbei, was the second leader of the Beiyang Anhui system. Duan Qirui was worried about the unnegotiable object, and the think tank came.

He was shocked. He stood up and said, "Come in!"

Xu Shuzheng's style, what must he have been secret when he suddenly came to him in the middle of the night? The wind in Hankou kept coming, and he was also anxious. In Beiyang, Duan Xuben is one. When Feng Guozhang is in the limelight, it is the two of them.

Xu Shuzheng strode into the tent. Turning around, his eyes were full of shrewdness. The light in the room was like beans, and a firm silhouette was reflected behind his tall and strong body. What a person.

Duan Qirui spread out his hands and said, "I'm afraid we are in trouble."

Xu Shuzheng looked at Duan Qirui coldly: "Is it because of Feng Guozhang? Or is it the remnants of Li Xiang, who has been annoyed by the north?

"All of them." Duan Qirui sighed, "The pattern of the North Sea is only so big, and the other side disappears. And Li Xiang's remnants are really annoying. He stares at us behind us all day long, sees the gap, and provokes us from time to time, just as disgusting as a fly.

Xu Shuzheng, who has always been resourceful, finally calmed his face, "After fighting with Feng Guozhang for so long, do you still care about the length of this time? In the future, there will be time to fight with Feng Guozhang. Li thinks it's time to eradicate this scabies disease. I'm afraid that if I continue to indulge like this, it will cause disaster.

Under the light, Duan Qirui's eyes reflected a faint cold light. Li thought that the remnants could be regarded as a group of ants at most. What other storms can he set off? In addition to adding nausea, I don't think they have any skills. It's not easy to eliminate them. I'm wondering if I can transfer this nausea to Feng Guozhang, an old man?

Xu Shuzheng hesitated for a moment. Maybe he was too careful. If you want to worry about Li Xiang, it's better to think about defeat Feng Guozhang. In fact, they have been doing this disgusting thing to transfer Li Xiang to Feng Guozhang. Isn't it just an excuse for Li Xiang's surprise attack behind his back and pinch Feng Guozhang's supplies?

"Just be a little cruel and let Li want to cut off this supply line." Duan Qirui's face looked ferocious.

Xu Shuzheng suddenly opened his eyes wide and said for a while, "No poison, no husband! That's the only way."

After thinking about it, he continued to say, "We'd better get the right of peace and pave the way for Lord Yuan through peace. We are the only one who has made this contribution. Send a secret telegram to Lord Yuan, saying that foreigners and the Democratic Party are disgusted with Feng Guozhang's atrocities in Hankou. This has seen foreign newspapers. He is in Hankou, and the peace is quite tortuous.

Duan Qirui's eyes were bright, "Wonderful! What other achievements can be greater than supporting achievements? This telegram must pull him down.

When it was impossible to open, a report sounded outside the door. Suddenly, the two of them woke up.

A personal soldier saluted him with a serious and respectful posture: "President, Jin Yunpeng missed the night to see him. See you, adults?"

When did Jin Yunpeng arrive in Xiaogan? Why are you in such a hurry to see him?

Duan Qirui was shocked by the news and exchanged meaningful eyes with Xu Shuzheng.

In the end, he just said lightly, "Mr. Jin, please come in."

"It is everyone's responsibility for the rise and fall of the country. The following positions seek state affairs, and use scholars to appease soldiers. These scholars are also very bold.

"Hold out!"

Duan Qirui was standing under the bean lamp and saw that his own soldiers did not lead anyone. He strode with a happy face. Jin Yunpeng was a few steps away and said loudly, "Duan Juntong! Duan Juntong! Great news!"

Duan Qirui was stunned. What good news can there be? Is this Beiyang warlord's home for me? Seeing Jin Yunpeng dancing and saying, "Duan Juntong, Ding's survival is at a critical moment, Duan Juntong should try his best, rush to catch up, urgently prepare for a peaceful solution, share the responsibility of turning the world, save the disaster, turn Han Manchu into a family, Du's coveted, implement democracy and constitutionalism, and peace without blood. This is its Time. This is a great achievement. Isn't this great news?

Duan Qirui's eyes turned and sneered, "Discuss? What capital does the Southern Army have to negotiate with us?

Jin Yunpeng lamented, "In the North and South armies, the disaster of war is getting worse and worse, and its impact is enough to destroy China. There are about several ends: as soon as the war ends, the financial sluggish, the term of foreign debt is forced to burn, and there is one more war between the north and the south, and the people have suffered more, that is, there is, one more layer of losses in the economic world. Farmers, industrial and commercial vendors are often trapped in uncertainty. In fact, the essence is consumed, and the vitality is greatly lost. This war affects the economy. Thieves in all provinces rose up, in the name of the revolution, disturbing the public security, the loss of agriculture, mourning everywhere, the people are not living, the people want to make trouble, but it is appropriate to call chaos, this war affects the livelihood. All countries are neutral, and the Lord intervenes, such as receiving arms, instilling foreign debts, helping to change the party in the concession, occupying the right to import tariffs, and marching troops in various places one after another in order to have a robbery system. It is the bad news of Mongolia and Tibet, and the police of Yunnan and Liaoning are coming. The Japanese emperor's indignant words about the parliament are particularly unprehensive. The disaster of the division is in the present, this battle. It affects the three diplomats. The provinces have fallen apart and are in a state of anarchy. Try to take the phenomenon view, or each province has its own governor, and there are many government; or they compete for sovereignty internally and kill each other; or they are pushed and demoted, such as the cancellation of Sun Dudu; or revenge, such as the killing of Jiao Dudu. The disturbance is hustle and hustle and turbulent, and the order has been disorderly. Although he wants to recover, he has no way to start. He taught the Northern Army a word of mouth. This war has an impact on the four internal affairs. One of the four is enough to destroy the country, and everything is ready."

These are not what Duan Qirui cares about, but he really wants to get the initiative of peace.

Jin Yunpeng also seemed to understand their thoughts. After the benevolent words, he volunteered and bravely: "The initiative of the Northern Army is in Yuan, and the feelings of the soldiers of the Northern Army are also in Yuan. If the Southern Army can be in favor of pushing Yuan's move, then the final problem, although he is not sensitive, can still understand Chen's theory, and it can be solved from now on, which is not known.

Duan Qirui is a little excited.

Jin Yunpeng looked at Duan Qirui and hesitated, and said, "The plan we have planned can be as we wish. The bandit China can be guaranteed, and the royal family will survive, that is, the life reputation of Xiangcheng and the generals of the Northern Army will not be lost. The so-called three good things are prepared in one stroke."

"Well... wait for tomorrow." Duan Qirui said indifferently.
