Yuan Shikai was sitting in the living room, surrounded by his cronies, and Tan Feng was among them.

Yuan Shikai shook the telegram in his hand, and said with a smile: "Look, look, Beijing City, that group of fools dared to declare war on the eleven countries, using their mantis arms as a car, not measuring their own strength, not measuring their own strength." ”

Liang Shiyi asked: "Comfort Shuai, what does the imperial court's telegram say?" ”

Yuan Shikai sneered: "What do you say? Now that the coalition forces of various countries have not only captured Dagukou, but also taken Tianjin, Lafayette is already a little panicked, and wants to transfer the governors of our provinces to King Jingqin! Joke, it's a country, that is, to raise the material resources of the whole country, and to transfer the country's 'elite' soldiers, we don't have the slightest chance of winning, this Duanjun King is really in the water, and he dares to fool Lafayette to declare war on the unification of the powers, isn't this looking for death? ”

Liang Shiyi frowned and said: "Comfort Shuai, at this time, if we don't send troops, it will make the people of the world laugh, after all, the court is in trouble, we are ineffective as courtiers, what will the people of the world think of us?" ”

Yuan Shikai replied: "Even if it is a lethal force, can we not be ridiculed?" Now, if we rush to the front in a hurry, then we will be the first to become cannon fodder for the great powers! You don't think that our tens of thousands of new troops will be able to stop the armies of the great powers, this is unrealistic, what we can do now is to preserve our strength, no matter what the final outcome is, it is impossible for the great powers to annex the whole of China, they don't have such a big appetite, it is impossible for any country, as long as we don't lose the country, we have room for survival! ”

Liang Shiyi sighed, it is true, just with the tens of thousands of people under Yuan Shikai, he is not an opponent at all.

Yuan Shikai said: "Fortunately, I have already informed Hua Fu and others in advance, and the new troops in the other towns have all withdrawn to Henan and Shandong. ”

Liang Shiyi asked, "Comfort Shuai, what do you mean, how should we deal with the situation in front of us?" After all, the will of the court has come down, and if we don't serve the king, it will be a rebel, and this is ......"

Yuan Shikai sneered: "Matter, so, this matter, we can't make our own decisions, we have to involve others in it, just I, Yuan Shikai, alone, absolutely can't be stopped, in case the imperial court hears about this joint, then we are in danger, so I decided to invite Liu Kunyi, the governor of Liangjiang, Zhang Zhi'dong', the governor of Huguang, Xingsun, and the old Zhongtang of He'fei' to meet in Shanghai to discuss this matter together. ”

Wang Shizhen asked, "Comfort Shuai, don't they want to go north to King Qin?" ”

Yuan Shikai laughed and said, "What, do you think these old guys will hit stones with eggs?" Everyone finally got to the current position, successive feudal territories, now in this situation, whoever goes to the capital will die, this matter is obviously Lafayette confused, and was put on a table by the courtiers and servants below, we can see it, do you think Liu Kun and a few of them will not understand? ”

Chen Qimei pondered for a moment and said: "Dashuai, I just received news today that the will of the imperial court to restore Li Hongzhang has reached the point of 'fat', but Li Hongzhang directly rejected the will of the imperial court, and he was old and sick and could not go north. ”

Yuan Shikai replied: "Old and sick? This is Lao Zhongtang's reluctance to 'show' his face now, didn't he say just now, whoever goes up now will die, and there is no force in the whole of China that can resist the attack of the great powers! Lao Zhongtang is waiting for an opportunity, waiting for everything to settle down, and then come forward to clean up the mess, after all, the entire Qing Dynasty, in foreign affairs, has not been able to stand out, even me, including that Zhang Jianzhi, must admit that it is not as good as this cunning old fox. ”

Tan Feng on the side, looking at Yuan Shikai who was talking eloquently, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, mixed with a trace of disdain.

It just so happened that Wang Shizhen raised his head and saw it so clearly, he couldn't help but say, "Brother Jianshan, what are you laughing at?" Is there something funny about what we're saying? ”

Yuan Shikai and Liang Shiyi were stunned for a moment, looked at Tan Feng, Tan Feng was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Comfort Shuai, everyone, when the audience talks about the current political situation in China, they can listen to the 'fascination', and unconsciously, bring out a smile, hehe, there is no other meaning." ”

Yuan Shikai said with a smile: "Brother Jianshan, everyone here is our own people, don't be polite, you also listened to our conversation just now, tell me your opinion, you are a high talent here, hehe......"

Tan Feng was also not polite, and said: "Since this is the case, Tan Feng is not polite, and talk about some shallow opinions in his heart." ”

Yuan Shikai nodded, and Tan Feng said: "Actually, what Wei Shuai said earlier, as I agree, this time is indeed not the best time for us to go north to King Qin, now even Li Hongzhang and Li Zhongtang are hibernating, waiting for the opportunity, I don't think any of you here has the prestige, qualifications and ability of Li Zhongtang, so it is inevitable to hibernat, and it is also a good idea to unite with other governors to advance and retreat." However, Shuai Wei, you just said that there is no single force in the whole of China that can compete with the combined forces of the great powers, but you do not dare to agree. ”

Yuan Shikai and the others were stunned, looking at Tan Feng quietly, not knowing what Tan Feng meant.

Tan Feng continued: "Comfort Shuai, everyone, I think that there is definitely another force in China that can resist the invasion of the great powers, and he will definitely not sit idly by and stand by, he is my old instructor, Zhang Jianzhi!" ”

Yuan Shikai was shocked in his heart and asked, "Brother Jianshan, do you think that just by relying on this northeastern corner, you can really resist the alliance of more than a dozen countries of the great powers?" He really won't sit idly by? Tan Feng smiled faintly and said: "Comfort Shuai, although I have broken away from the Republic of China and come to Guangdong, but in this world, if there is anyone who knows Zhang Yi best, my old instructor, I am definitely the first choice!" He is a witty and changeable person, with a vast 'mind' and encompassing all over the world, but his biggest characteristic is that he can't see barbarians spread wild on the land of China! No matter who it is, no matter which country it is, as long as he dares to send troops to offend, he will definitely send troops, and the most he says is that those who commit crimes will be punished even if they are far away! Yuan Shikai's face was solemn, and he asked: "Brother Jianshan, I also know that Jianzhi is a person who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and has strong principles, but this time we are not facing just one strong country, but all the powerful countries in the world!" Is he really sure that he will be able to repel all the strong enemies? ”
