2 The subsequent battle is not Manchuria

Yuan Shikai listened silently. This is exactly what he said: Sun Yat-sen was elected president this time. As far as the people of the whole country are concerned, the north is not as good as the south. If it has been announced that the armed forces of the 14 provinces standing in the republic have carried out war with the same goal under the unified deployment of Sun Yat-sen, then there will inevitably be greater turmoil within the region under the rule of the Qing Dynasty. The destruction of the Qing Dynasty and Yuan Shikai can be said to be within reach.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shikai suddenly turned around and said, "Some of the officials in Beijing saw that the situation was not good, abandoned their jobs and left, and those who stayed were attached to the surroundings of Beiyang. However, although Beiyang has the most trained and strongest army, when the Nanjing government led by Sun Yat-sen was established, except for Inner Mongolia, Outer Mongolia and Tibet, only Zhili, Henan, Shandong, Gansu, East and Xinjiang had not changed the flags of the Manchus in the country. But there are also unrest factors in these provinces. With almost two-thirds of the provinces in the country have declared independence from the Manting, it is obviously impossible to put out the flames of the Revolutionary Army by force.

Yuan Shikai turned around the room twice with a big belly and continued: "After Shandong governor Sun Baoqi canceled his independence, the officials sent by the cabinet carried out a severe crackdown on the revolutionaries. Any man with a haircut in Jinan is in danger of being detained. But Sun Baoqi can no longer rule the whole province. The revolutionaries launched an uprising in Jiaodong, occupied Yantai, Dengzhou, Rongcheng, Wendeng and other places, and established a military government in Yantai. In the area along the eastern section of the Jiaoji Railway, revolutionary forces were also organized to occupy Jimo, Gaomi, Anqiu, Zhucheng and other places. The Beiyang army carried out cruel killings in Jimo and Zhucheng, and it could not be suppressed... Henan, controlled by heavy troops, is always not peaceful..."

"Isn't the alliance's plan to attack Luoyang in late November aborted?" Yuan Keding disagreed with the old man's opinion: "After that, some members of the provincial Kaifeng academic community contacted the students of the army school in the city to prepare for a riot. However, because it was the 15-day truce of the North-South Agreement, they did not launch it immediately, which shows that the Armistice Agreement played a role in paralysing the Revolutionary Army. Due to the postponement, the uprising plan was detected by the Kaifeng government. On the eve of the scheduled uprising on December 23, Zhang Zhongduan and other 11 people were arrested and killed. Most of them were students studying in Japan, and many unknown people died in this battle. It can be said to be a great deterrent to the party in Henan! At the same time, the Northern Army soldiers in Henan fought against the revolutionary army in Shaanxi in Tongguan in the west, and the first army of Duan Qirui was stationed in Xinyang in the south, and defended against the revolutionary army of the madman Li who may come from several aspects!"

Yuan Shikai stared at his son: "However, I just got the news that the revolutionary army in Shaanxi once invaded western Henan with the cooperation of the armed forces of the Li Madman Army. There are also many civilian armed forces in Nanyang and Dengzhou, southern Henan, waiting for the opportunity and eager to have a try. The Li madman's Northern Expeditionary Army, which set out from Xiangyang in northwest Hubei, has invaded Henan, occupied Xinye, and peeped into Dengzhou, Nanyang and other places. Therefore, if the war is prolonged, the Beiyang Army is not sure about the control of Henan!"

"After Chang Geng, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, was defeated and left Gansu, hasn't he always been loyal to the clear room?" Yuan Keding asked, "Didn't the day before yesterday say that the Gan army invaded Sanshui and Chunhua, threatening Jingyang and Sanyuan, and Weibei was still empty. He could not play a role in restraining the revolutionary army in Shaanxi? Yuan Dahua, the governor of Xinjiang, is still standing in the clear room.

"Since an army sent by Crazy Li entered Shaanxi, the situation has reversed!" Yuan Shikai sighed, "There is also a crisis in ambush in Beijing's Jinji and Zhili provinces. In response to the Wuchang Uprising, some revolutionary intellectuals secretly established the Northern Revolutionary Association in Tianjin. This is what happened before Wang Jingwei went south.

These situations show that Yuan Shikai is also very unstable under his feet. Because of this, Yuan Shikai must use peace to make the revolutionary forces stand still, so that they succumb to him.

Seeing that the eldest son of the baby was listening attentively, Yuan Shikai continued: "Zhili is the place where the capital of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was built, and the power of the court was concentrated. The prevention of the parties was strict, and the reconnaissance was too close. Therefore, when the matter of Hubei started, it was not without people from all over the world who plotted to move, and finally succumbed and could not succeed. Who knows that today, there is a military incident in Luanzhou.

Yuan Keding shook his head in shock to show that he didn't know.

"If someone hadn't told the secret, I wouldn't know." Yuan Shikai said, "The army officers at all levels stationed in the 20th town of Luanzhou heard that Sun Yat-sen returned from overseas and was elected as the president by Nanjing. They were bold and contacted the military commanders of Tanghe, recruited local officials and gentry, and planned many times. After the decision, Wang Huaiqing of Tongyong Town is planned to be the governor of the Northern People's Army. He paused for a moment and said thoughtfully, "Wang Huaiqing heard that the soldiers in Luanzhou advocated the republic, that is, to ride alone, saying that don't riot and listen to the decision of the temporary National Assembly. But I despise that China should have a constitutional monarchy. Before he finished speaking, the commander stood up and said, "Our battalion advocates that the republic has been decided, and the army has been appointed as the governor of the Northern Army." After that, the crowd echoed in unison and forced Wang to go into a room to do business, that is, to send a telegram to the ministers and consuls of various countries. This is what happened yesterday.

"The governor of the Northern People's Army is really loyal and patriotic." Yuan Keding sneered.

"No." Yuan Shikai continued to say that things are not as simple as my precious son thinks. He said from a newly copied message on the book, "The informer is Wang Huaiqing. This is a telegram from the military and civilians in Luanzhou to the ministers and consuls of various countries.

Yuan Keding took a look and was quite polite at the beginning.

Beijing's Prime Minister Shanghai Wu represented Tang Minister Tianjin Shunzhi's Consultation Bureau: Since the beginning of Wuhan, the response of all provinces is like a rushing wave, which shows the aspirations of people's hearts, which is by no means the resistance of military forces. The people of the whole country look forward to the republican government, which is more than the rain of withered seedlings. If it is not a republic, it is inevitable that the people will live. If it is not a republic, it is inevitable that the interference of outsiders, and if it is not a republican will inevitably be revolution in the future. As the prime minister, as the hope of the whole country, I must not hold one person's private opinion and live up to the expectations of the people. Moreover, under the pressure of the armistice period, the peace will be ineffective. The people of the whole country are running around and calling for fear, especially in direct province. The army mixed into 40 officers, chiefs and soldiers, etc., stationed in Zhi Province, witnessed the truth, and dared to risk their lives. Check the creed issued by the prelude. The internal soldiers originally had the sovereignty to participate in the discussion, and the whole army advocated republicanism. I hope that it is urgent for us to determine the overall situation as soon as possible. It's so scary! The leader Su Guangchuan led the official Feng Yuxiang (the author's note: he is the famous Feng Yuxiang), Qi Congyun, Wang Jinming, Zhang Jiangong, Wang Shiqing, Zheng Jinsheng, Chen Baolong, Xu Tingrong and subordinate officials.

Yuan Shikai asked again, "How did you say he escaped to inform?"

Yuan Keding shook his head again and said, "My son doesn't know."

"Wang Huaiqing has a trick in his heart, but he said calmly without changing his face: It makes sense to think carefully about the words of the emperors. However, the salary is insufficient, and the number of people is not large, which is also worrying. In case of failure, Wang Huaiqing's three words, a piece of money is not worth it, and you can't do it without making a plan. Raising is the first priority, Luanzhou Kaiping gentry, I know many people, please persuade them. Everyone also agreed and sent a sedan chair. The sedan chair is an ordinary sedan chair. Wang Huaiqing pretends to be embarrassed and dislikes that it is too spectacular. Everyone said where to get the green sedan chair in the warehouse, and asked him if he rode a horse? Wang Huaiqing nod his head and said good, so he chose a good horse and followed the two military officers and several soldiers. Wang Huaiqing began to talk nonsense with the pedunuch. He rode forward and suddenly looked back and waited, and everyone did not doubt it. As soon as he reached the road, he showed his true face, fiercely lashed two whips, and went straight to the camp. Everyone began to know that he had fled, and he did not shoot Wang Huaiqing. So Wang Huaiqing returned to Kaiping, that is, the power generation report.

Yuan Keding couldn't help saying, "This man is so bold!"

"It's smart!" Yuan Shikai corrected excitedly, "If you dare to do these actions under my eyes, they are not looking for death!" As he spoke, his eyes were as bright as electricity.

Yuan Keding was shocked at first, and then he knew his father's mood. After a while, he sighed, "My father was very worried. This is a big deal. It can't be tolerated. It must be thunderous.

Yuan Keding is right this time. The south is rising, the north is in chaos, and his position is also in danger. Yuan Shikai closed his eyes in pain. Yuan Keding saw his father sitting with his eyes closed and thought he was tired.

"Sent my order," Yuan Shikai suddenly waved his hand and said, "The Luan army warned, and Cao Kun led the third town to take a special train to Luanzhou on the same day. There are three battalions, one battalion of the horse team, 400 artillery of the Huai Army, 35 cannons, and the first battalion of Tongzhou Yi Army. Be sure to arrive in Luan on November 16 and besiege and destroy it.

"Yes." Yuan Keding quickly agreed and drafted the order to be sent to the cabinet.

Yuan Shikai sat for a while, but felt that Baiyou gathered and all kinds of things came.

"Recommmediately to Sun Yat-sen immediately." Yuan Shikai finally figured out a clue and lowered his voice and said, "Say: the issue of the monarch's republic, the current national referendum, there is no way to predict what the decision will be. I didn't dare to hear what the provisional government said. The false award is so scary that I don't dare to accept it. In the call back to Sun Yat-sen, Yuan Shikai made it clear that the North does not recognize the Nanjing Provisional Government, because even the country has not finally decided what regime to implement, and the National Assembly has not yet opened.

Yuan Keding took notes and asked, "That's all?"

"Of course, it's more than that!" Yuan Shikai shook his head and said with a giddy smile: "The Beijing cabinet did not recognize the announcement that the measures signed by Tang Shaoyi on the National Assembly exceeded the authority, and ordered Tang to resign. In the future, the peace talks will be directly e-commerce between me and Wu Tingfang in the south. Remember, the wording should be tough! At the same time, you should also call Wu Tingfang and ask a harsh question!"

Yuan Keding pondered for a moment, and his eyes emitted light. He said, "My son understands!"

"Say: Since the national body issue is solved by the Congress, I heard that Nanjing has suddenly organized a government, which is obviously contrary to the previous discussion. What is the purpose of this presidential election?" Yuan Shikai continued in a calm voice and said, "In addition, Jiang Guiti, Feng Guozhang, Zhang Xun and other Beiyang generals jointly joined the cabinet to strongly advocate the maintenance of the constitutional monarchy, resolutely oppose the republic, and "appealed to the princes and nobles of the Qing court to take out money in order to continue the battle."

Yuan Keding's eyes jumped and stood up and said, "Father, don't worry about this! I will instigate my staff and subordinates to say everywhere: In the next battle, they are all fathers, not Manchuria."
