304 Heroes Out of Youth

Duan Qirui shook his head helplessly and smiled, "How can Lord Yuan be willing to do this? Formerly the Minister of Military Machinery of the Manchurian Court and then the President of the Republic of China, what will the world think of him? Adults are good-faced people who make things so complicated.

Jin Yunpeng picked up the Song porcelain tea cup on the table and asked, "With Lord Yuan's heroic talent, isn't there any ambition to win the world?"

"Ask knowingly." Duan Qirui raised his eyebrows. Yuan Shikai's reputation of Cao Cao has been known for many years. It can be said that Sima Zhao's heart is well known by passers-by. Jin Yunpeng also asked, didn't he ask knowingly? He took a sip of tea slowly, and Fang continued, "At this time when the world is in chaos, on the day of the meeting, even after Li's division of Hubei, he sent troops to Hanzhong to reach out his ambition to touch Shaanxi. What's more about Lord Yuan, who is so talented?"

Jin Yunpeng said hurriedly, "With Lord Yuan's great talent, this is not too extravagant."

Duan Qirui nodded and turned to the topic after a moment, "In my opinion, what Lord Yuan wants is an open and upright reputation, so that he can take over smoothly."

"In this way," Jin Yunpeng knocked on his knee and said, "Lord Yuan can only be in a passive position, and the active person is Duan Gong?"

This sentence went straight to Duan Qirui's chest. When he had just calmed down, he suddenly made waves again and was very moved. He still reluctantly smiled and said, "It's inconvenient for soldiers to interfere in politics, aren't they?"

Jin Yunpeng saw that Duan Qirui couldn't help but sneer and said, "Mr. Duan, Hubei was defeated in the first battle. You have lost Feng Jun's unified recruitment. Now Feng Jun is the leader of the praetorian guard in the north. As long as he makes friends with Zongshe flagmen and pave the way for Lord Yuan, his status in Beiyang will be much higher than that of you in the future. What else are you talking about here about the inconvenience of soldiers intervening in politics? Now we just want to connect with Beiyang to support Yuan together. When we have to, we even have to go to the palace together! As long as this big thing is done, this little thing in Hubei will definitely be bought and sold, and you are in Beiyang, and from then on, you will be under one person and more than ten thousand people!"

Hearing this, Duan Qirui's face suddenly changed color. He hurriedly picked up Song Junci's teacup and covered it up and said, "I heard that the madman Li went to Shanghai. With this lawless, bold and reckless madman, there may be any disturbance in the north and south!"

Jin Yunpeng looked at Duan Qirui with burning eyes and said with a gloomy smile, "We don't need to worry about peace with the south. Lord Yuan has already made precise arrangements. Since the 28th, representatives of the North and the South have begun to hold peace talks in Shanghai. In addition to discussing the specific measures for the military armistice, the main debate is the implementation of a constitutional monarchy or a democratic republic. In fact, the struggle between constitutional and republicanism is only a superficial phenomenon, and the key is who will control the power. Southern representatives have repeatedly publicly stated that Lord Yuan will be elected as the president anyway. In this regard, Mr. Yuan understands it. On the one hand, he advocated the constitutional monarchy to bargain with the revolutionaries in the south; on the other hand, the revolutionaries demanded the implementation of democratic republics and forced the Qing Emperor to abdicate; this was Lord Yuan's trick in the negotiations. Sitting from south to north is already the general trend. Even if the madman Li has the ability to mend the sky, he can't save the sky!"

The more Duan Qirui listened, the more shocked he became. He couldn't sit still. He knew some of the three lines of peace and discussion formed by Yuan Shikai through the three groups of Tang Shaoyi, Liao Yuchun and Zhao Fengchang, and the great powers were also supporting his waist behind his back. In addition, Yuan Shikai had such a clear grasp of the overall situation. In this way, the peace discussion is almost ten. It's nine sure!

Duan Qirui calmed down and said with a smile, "If we don't need to worry about it, just leave him alone. You and I will have a good plan on how to connect Beiyang. But it's always inappropriate for me to come forward with you in tandem with Beiyang.

This can carry the name of a second minister, which is recorded in the annals of history and has been infamous for ten thousand years! In the former Ming Dynasty, Hong Chengchou made a contribution to the Qing Dynasty, and the history of Kangxi Xiuming did not list him in the first place in the biography of the II minister. The descendants of the Hong family did not like to see the people in Jinling, and the Han people hated it. I don't know how miserable Hong Chengchou's story is? What Yuan Shikai now hopes is that smart people under him take the initiative to provoke the head of the palace. Jin Yunpeng also made it very clear, but Duan Qirui was still a little hesitant.

Duan Qirui got up and turned back and forth anxiously in the festival hall with his hands on his back and said, "Although Liao Yuchun is a scholar, he is passionate about national affairs and quite talented. I think this matter can be completed by their hands. You tell him that I am very reluctant about their plan, and then you can suggest that he write to me. It is best to send a letter to Yang and meet with the generals of the First Army, such as Wang Zhichun, Jiang Zhongcai, Nan Futing, Cui Yunong, and Luo Zhongfang. Liao Yuchun can talk to them about the purpose of the southbound trip, state the interests, and make more hints. With the effect, and then, I reluctantly agree, and then I can ask them to go to Beijing to exercise..."

——————————————

Shanghai, Licha Hotel.

The night outside the window is dark, and large pieces of wet snow are flying lazily around the street lights.

In the box booked by Huang Xing, the huge door frame of Jinsi Nanmu also shows an unparalleled style. The floor is covered with velvet carpets, and the lighting is also in the style of the British royal court. General Li estimated that this box is a presidential suite for national leaders.

In the huge box, there are also several high-forked cheongsam beautiful leg waitresses, and a huge wine cabinet. The salon-style leather seats are covered with luxurious furs. The order is staggered. There is also a closed private room in the innermost part, which seems to be used for a nap.

Li Xiang's eyes were withdrawn from the window, turned his head to several waitresses, and then pointed to the door of Jinsi Nanmu. They immediately withdrew from the box together understandingly and obediently covered the door silently.

"Do you know what's going on?" The daffodils came to the wine cabinet and pulled out the oldest bottle of wine. Huang Xing booked this presidential box and made an appointment with Li Xiang, especially when they set up Li Xiang during the day.

With a "bang", the precious red wine worth thousands of yuan was opened by the narcissus.

"How do I know!" Li wanted to pat his forehead, "Anyway, it's not a good thing. I guess we're in big trouble this time!"

"What's the trouble?" The Narcissus stopped pouring wine into the glass, and her face tightened.

"You don't know that I hit someone again at the banquet of the marshal's office today. I offended Gu Zhongchen, offended Wang Jingwei, and made Song Jiaoren and Huang Xing very angry. Li Xiang couldn't smile anymore: "I offended the Shanghai Constitutional Council and the Revolutionary Party."

"You won't beat Mr. Huang, will you?" Song Que looked at his boss in surprise.

Narcissus has a pair of beautiful eyes, and she is also surprised to pay attention to Li Dashuai who can't laugh.

"No." Li wanted to say, "It was Gu Zhongchen who hit it. This guy, if you are long, you should be beaten."

"What's the trouble?" The Narcissus gave Li Dashuai a white look.

"I..." Li Xiang finally said nothing and sighed heavily.

Li Xiang was still sighing, the door of the box was pushed open, and Huang Xing, the revolutionary predecessor, came in.

Huang Xing didn't even inform him, so he directly pushed the door in, which made the narcissus pouring wine on the big wine cabinet a little at a loss for a while.

Song Que held an empty wine bottle in his hand. A bottle of red wine had just been dried by him. He was not drunk with thousands of glasses of this juice-like wine. The wine was stained with his beard, and it was as red as blood. In the face of the sudden appearance of the second person of the Qingji Revolution, he did not move at all.

Li wanted to signal Song Que, the thick embryo, to get up and meet him. Huang Xing immediately raised his hand to stop Li's movement of getting ready to salute, and sat opposite him.

"All retreat." Huang Xing waved his hand again and let the four revolutionary soldiers who were with him withdraw from the box.

There is no doubt that Huang Xing is an extremely punctual person. The guard of the marshal's office told Li Xiang that Huang Xing would meet him alone after half an hour. The clock by the wall had just passed for half an hour, and Huang Xing opened the door of the box on time.

"Heroes come out of youth." Huang Xing opened his mouth and said something from his heart, full of appreciation for the young and excessive Li Xiang. Regardless of the differences of ideas, he really appreciates this young man very much.

"I don't want to be a hero either. It's completely created by current affairs." Li wanted to say hypocritically.

"About your meritorious deeds in Wuchang and the legendary battle to restore the three towns of Wuhan, it is too late for me to understand the truth of the matter. After the outbreak of Wuchang's righteousness, the Qing government blocked your news completely. After I arrived in Wuchang, Wuchang's military and government was under the control of Li Yuanhong and Tang Hualong, so listen to It's all about your arrogant and arrogant negative news. We were all blinded at that time, and you didn't take the initiative to contact us, so that there would be unpleasant things in Hankou. I hope you can see it. Huang Xing took over the wine handed over by Narcissus. "If Tan Renfeng hadn't conducted a detailed investigation on you during the period of Wuchang Shouyi, maybe we would have misunderstood you as always."

"Mr. Huang is the acting prime minister of the League. How can everyone understand it?" The daffodil said smoothly.

"I have known Mr. Tan Renfeng for a long time. At that time, Mr. Song Jiaoren was also there. At that time, Chen Zuoxin was still in the Wuchang New Army. Mr. He was preparing to cooperate with the Brother Association to plan Ping Liulijuyi." Lixiang smiled and remembered the old days in the Yellow Crane Tower.

Although Li Xiang knows a lot of big names, his qualifications are still too shallow, otherwise he would not have taken the initiative to pull a team to launch Wuchang power competition after Wuchang's first righteousness. If it hadn't been for the overwhelming and deliberate publicity of the People's Daily before and after the defense of Hubei, and with the dignity of Huang Xing, it is obvious that no one may know how much sacrifice a little madman has made to carry out the revolution to the end?

Because Li wants to know that heroes are not created by current affairs, but by overwhelming publicity. Without his own official newspaper, the People's Daily, as a propaganda, Li Xiang's image would never be a legendary hero, but an ogre, a ferocious madman! The white wolf in the early years of the Republic of China was not a tragedy of demonization. Even with the help of the People's Daily, Li Xiang's image has not been titled "Madman". Now in the capital, his name is enough to scare children to cry at night. In the legend of the people in the capital who were deeply influenced by "Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness", the revolutionaries were Jiangyang thieves with red eyes and green eyebrows, and Li Xiang's fierce name is undoubtedly the loudest one now.

"I saw your Golden Eagle Guard's weapons and equipment, very elite." Huang Xing smiled faintly and looked very gratified.

Li Xiang smiled complacently and said, "This is nothing."

"That is to say, in addition to the strength you have shown, you also have hidden strength, don't you?" Huang Xing nodded cunningly.
