249 Walk in the wind, frost, rain and snow

On the street in front of the spring teahouse in Hankou covered by wind and snow, leaving the porridge scene, Li Dashuai took the poet's melancholy, worried about the appearance of the country and the people, and strolled in the wind, frost, rain and snow.

In the back, he also followed the bodyguard Song Que and the housekeeper's little sister. In the distance in front of him, groups of revolutionary soldiers and newly established armed police came and went. Before disarming the foreigners in the concession and recovering the concession, the city's vigilance could not be relaxed.

Inside and outside the three towns of Wuhan, there is a dilapidated scene after the disaster. In the past, there are burnt-through houses everywhere. You can see the Chinese artificial friends with white cloth wrapped around their arms. Under the military and political organization, the reconstruction of the city has begun. The most noisy and lively city in the interior of Asia is already depressed and quiet. Only uniformed military police come and go.

When Feng Guozhang burned Hankou, the people of Hankou now think about it, it's really like a dream, a nightmare!

If he fails to negotiate with foreigners, he will not hesitate to go to war and even burn the concession! Let them experience a nightmare too! In the first battle of the Eastern Concession, he has been scolded as a butcher by foreigners. As long as he can recover the concession, he doesn't care about it!

He has indeed exhausted his efforts and used all the resources in his hand to strive for the situation in the direction he wants.

But what is the result of the negotiation? To be honest. Marshal Li himself is not sure. However, as long as he thinks of the carnival in the three towns of Wuhan last night, the joy of the people from the bottom of their hearts makes Li Xiang feel very peaceful.

Those are all signs of the awakening of the drunken Chinese people!

The group of people were so silent, stepping on Xue Shasha...

Meddy exhaled white, her nose was red with cold, and suddenly said, "Sadman, it's cold... When will you go back... Always standing here and blowing the wind..."

Li Xiang smiled and said, "I just want to see the situation after the war, remember these firmly, and let myself not forget the cruelty of the war. I'm not a war maniac, I just have to fight for the country and the nation..."

Song Que tilted his head and looked at General Li's compassionate appearance. He wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. For a long time, he whispered, "Sarge. Although I don't understand what you're saying... But we have so many soldiers around the foreign devils, what are we talking about? Just like at the beginning, the army entered the concession, and everything was solved..."

Li Xiang said with a straight face: "What do you know? It is precisely because we have an absolute advantage that we should act more civilly. Humph, in front of the barrel of the gun, don't be afraid that they will not accept it!"

"It's difficult," Song Que shook his head, "Foreigners are so arrogant..."

Li wanted to talk, but suddenly the corner of his clothes was pulled. Looking back, Mei Di lowered her head and asked in a low voice, "Marshal... Do you think Miss Zhao is also very good-looking?"

Li Xiang was stunned before he remembered this. Feelings, Merdy has always remembered the intimate relationship between him and Zhao Youyu!

To be honest, he really had a lot of crooked thoughts about Zhao Youyu's beautiful and familiar girl, but it was just that a normal man saw a beautiful woman. However, the intimacy that has just been whispered is nothing else. It is a conspiracy to trap the group of profiteers in Hankou!

He smiled and teased meddy: "What? I think it's good. It looks good. What do you think?"

Meddy snorted, and her jealous face could not hide it: "She is Master Lin's daughter-in-law, and the Ming media is getting married..."

The voice is soft, like a whisper. How can a 16-year-old beautiful girl talk coquettishly with you like this? Li wanted to laugh again and was ready to continue flirting. Suddenly, Song Que's loud voice came.

"General, the carriage marked by the foreign devil's consulate is coming here!"

In Yuan's mansion in Scylla Hutong, there is a quiet atmosphere at this time.

In the back garden glass pavilion where Yuan Shikai received guests, Yuan Shikai and Xu Shichang sat upright and waited to drink tea according to the etiquette on the tea ceremony.

Inside the glass pavilion, the fragrance of tea floats, and on the red mud stove, the blue ground flame flashes silently. The pair of lovely twins that make Yuan Shikai's favorite are wearing a lamb jacket. One is a tea set, and the other is a stove. The two little girl's bright eyes flowed. Although they were not old enough, they could already see that they were first-class figures.

The two little Lori maids picked up the tea cup and handed it to their hands. The two old men smelled the tea first, and then distinguished the color. Then it's all over.

Putting down the tea cup, Xu Shichang whispered, "Xiang Cheng, what do you think?"

Yuan Shikai didn't look at him, but smiled faintly: "Madman Li is a mad dog. If he bites him, he can only admit it. You see, this time, even the foreigners in Hankou can only pinch their noses to admit it!"

Xu Shichang smiled bitterly: "There's nothing even a foreigner?"

Yuan Shikai just gently played with the tea cup: "The People's Daily has shocked the world. The people in the south are boiling, and sometimes foreigners have to make concessions, especially the madman Li and the Huansi with guns and cannons in the Hankou Concession! You and I know those guys in the mission. They want to take advantage of the fire to rob and restrain each other. Japan and Russia have repeatedly called for troops. Aren't they all blocked by Britain and the United States?"

Listening to Yuan Shikai's words, Xu Shichang's face suddenly looked ugly. Just meditated and didn't say anything.

Yuan Shikai laughed and said, "I can figure it out that the crazy Li is making this trend bigger and bigger, and the southern army's people's atmosphere is also rising. This North-South peace talks seem a little mysterious... You are also with the intention of the military aircraft. Come and explore my mouth. Is there any drama to sing? As for whether the Hankou concession is recovered or not, you don't care.

Yuan Shikai's voice was soft and light, which made Xu Shichang's face change greatly. In the end, he could only smile faintly and bow his head to drink tea. At this time, who in the capital is not looking at the wind? I heard that Li Xiang's victory in Hubei and Duan Qirui withdrew from Hankou. A group of flag bearers and nobles in Beijing immediately moved into the Tianjin Concession. The in-Office officials took leave one after another, and the alternate officials returned to their hometown one after another!

However, seeing Yuan Shikai so calm, Xu Shichang also became calm. Yuan Shikai's peace is just a means for him to take the highest power in the country. While sending representatives south to negotiate peace, he sent heavy troops to launch a fierce attack on the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi, which had declared independence in the north, in an effort to put the north completely under his control. What is the result of the peace agreement? Yuan Shikai is more anxious than him.

Yuan Shikai said slowly, "The key now is two points. First, what does Nanjing think of this matter? The madman Li rises in Hubei. His speed and strength are amazing. I don't think the governor of Nanjing and a local independent province can't stand it! The hearts of the people are also invisibly gathered in Hubei. After the recovery of the Hankou Concession, the crazy Li is not only a strong force. I am jealous of Guan Yin, who spends more than 100 million yuan every year. I don't know how many brain-damaged young people will be crazy about this matter of boosting the country? Will they be willing to watch the madman Li continue to grow? At the beginning, he had been stabbed in the back in Hankou, and naturally it was inevitable to stab him again for the second time! The best way is to discuss with me as soon as possible so that the madman Li will continue to expand his power without the excuse of the Northern Expedition, and slowly try to weaken him!"

Xu Shichang has listened attentively and even forgot to cover his face with a tea cup. Today, he came to Yuan Shikai's house. As Yuan Shikai said, he came to explore the style of his old fat man.

He listened attentively, as if to the big guest, and Yuan Shikai also said carelessly: "The second is the court. As long as the little emperor abdicated, not only the crazy Li, but also the whole Southern Democratic Party has no excuse for the Northern Expedition.

Yuan Shikai just touched his beard after saying that. Xu Shichang peeked at Yuan Shikai's face and said with a wry smile, "Are you going to force the little emperor to abdicated at this time? I'm afraid the time is not ripe yet. There are many sincere elbows. Liang Bi is a big obstacle.

Yuan Shikai smiled and said, "I have received the favor of the country. How can I force the emperor to abdicate?" I'm just analyzing the current situation. Before Shaochuan went south, he gave thousands of instructions, and the national body must not be changed! To make peace with the south, this is my bottom line..."

Unexpectedly, Yuan Shikai refused to admit it when he came to this festival!

Xu Shichang just smiled bitterly at Yuan Shikai: "What Xiang Cheng said is very reasonable, and he is considering the long-term stability of our country. It's really deaf. The Northern Council and Mission led by Tang Shaoyi has been going south for some time. I heard that it has arrived in Shenjiang, and the southern representative has been confirmed as Wu Tingfang. But I don't know if they have any contact? What are the conditions in the south..."

The current bureaucratic system in the Qing Dynasty is already a complete ostrich mentality. Yuan Shikai wanted to pretend to be a child, and he also pretended to be a child. However, we still need to ask about the progress of the peace agreement.

Yuan Shikai smiled softly: "Although the peace talks have not yet begun, the representatives of the south have put forward a prerequisite for the peace talks, that is, the representatives of the north must first recognize the national system of democratic republicanism, which is the purpose of the southern party revolution. If it is not discussed on this basis, there is no need for peace talks."

Xu Shichang opened his mouth and just muttered, "How can this be? How can this be? They are so arrogant that they haven't started talking yet?

Yuan Shikai picked up the tea cup and just smiled: "Of course not! If it is admitted, then the little emperor must abdic. What will the Empress Dowager agree to? What else will Lao Qing agree to talk about? What will the children of the Eight Banners in the capital agree to talk about? The issue of national sports must be adhered to, otherwise what should I take to talk to the south? If the South promises to be the president, then the national body will not be changed. It's just that Shaochuan has telegraphed the "prerequisites for peace talks" of the south to Beijing, asking the cabinet for instructions and putting forward his own views. He believes that the revolutionary army has no room to bargain for this prerequisite, so if it refuses, it can't go on.

Xu Shichang wondered, "So this peace agreement will continue to be deadlocked like this? I'm afraid it's not good for the north.

"If you refuse, you can't talk about it. It's better to talk about it in circles. It's better to hand over this "national body" issue to a "temporary parliament" for a vote. In this way, the peace talks can continue." Yuan Shikai showed a premeditated face.

Xu Shichang slapped him fiercely and almost said a good word! At least, these flagmen in the bird cage can postpone facing this big event for some time, and the south can also explain it. It is indeed the best way to deal with it now!
