When Yuan Shikai received the order to rush back to the capital immediately, he was busy in Urumqi with Tao Mo and Dong Fuxiang to reorganize the surrender of the Qing army. Take a look at the book??? W?WW?・1?K?A asks for N book S?H?U・CC

The former Qing army stationed in Xinjiang was mainly the old foundation of the Hunan army and the Gan army, and in Xinjiang, where birds don't, the salary often can't be paid.

Yuan Shikai was shocked by what he learned: these Qing soldiers have not paid a salary for two years, and they rely on setting up checkpoints to collect a little tax to get by, and many Qing soldiers who drag their families can't open the pot anymore!

This is the army that worked hard for the country, and it is strange that the Qing court is not destroyed.

Yuan Shikai immediately moved out of the promise made by Emperor Hu Zhen:

All Qing soldiers who surrendered to the new Chinese Empire, in addition to making up for the unpaid silver of the Qing court in the past, could receive ten yuan Huaxia coins (that is, the original currency of the Nanyang Huaxia Guild), and if they did not want Huaxia coins, they could receive ten taels of silver, and they could stay in Xinjiang with their families and enjoy the treatment of receiving 100 mu of reclaimable land per person.

Although the currency or silver had not yet arrived, as soon as Yuan Shikai's promise came out, tens of thousands of Qing troops throughout Xinjiang immediately settled down, quietly waiting for the adaptation, and quietly waiting to receive the big red envelopes issued to them by the Chinese Empire.

At this time, a telegram came from the capital, saying that Yuan Shikai's successor to Yuan Shikai's mission in Xinjiang was already on the way, and Yuan Shikai immediately went to the capital to receive a new mission. 1. Read the book WW?W?・1?K?A look at N?S?H?U look・C?C?

However, Yuan Shikai believed that Xinjiang was initially decided, and if he left at this time, it would cause unnecessary panic to the Qing army that had just surrendered, and he should wait until his successor arrived before he could leave Xinjiang and rush to the capital.

So Yuan Shikai immediately replied with a telegram, saying that in order to stabilize the local situation, he could not leave until the new successor arrived in Urumqi.

At this time, it was already late at night, and the staff officer on duty at the General Staff Headquarters received this telegram, and he was in a hurry, and the reply was sternly worded saying that Yuan Shikai did not obey the order, and asked him to board the airship and come back quickly.

But Yuan Shikai received a second telegram and replied again with his reasons.

But the staff officer on duty did not relent, and another telegram came, urging Yuan Shikai to go back quickly.

The telegrams exchanged between the two of you reached 12 telegrams, and finally Su Wenqing, the chief of the General Staff, knew about the matter, ordered the staff officer on duty to calm down, and reported the matter to Hu Zhen.

"This Yuan Shikai is still relatively old, who are the people we rushed to Xinjiang?"

"It's Ouyang Yu, the commander-in-chief of our army in the northwest, if there is no sandstorm or windy weather on the road, it is estimated that it will be a day before he arrives in Urumqi!"

The biggest risk of taking an airship from Lanzhou to Urumqi, which is 1,600 kilometers away, is that the weather conditions are not good, and several airships have disappeared recently, whether it is Yuan Shikai or Ouyang Yu, those who enter Xinjiang by airship need to risk their lives, and this is also the main reason why they cannot use airships to transport troops into Xinjiang on a large scale, and the number of transports of the Huaxia Army is not very sufficient, and in the end they have to rely on the main force of ground infantry to march. One???? Reading the book W?W?W book・1?K?A?

Hu Zhen quickly made a decision: "Okay, Yuan Shikai's judgment is still reasonable, he is gone, those soldiers in Xinjiang still think that we are not keeping our promises, if something happens, it will really not be worth it."

Then let Ouyang Yu rush to Urumqi, and Yuan Shikai will set off again! In addition, the staff officer on duty who sent a telegram urging him, he is not wrong, he is just carrying out my orders, and the decision is made by me, so don't embarrass him! ”

Yuan Shikai received six telegrams urging him to return to Beijing overnight, one of which was harsher than the other, and Yuan Shikai could hardly resist it, but the seventh telegram said that the emperor agreed to wait for Ouyang Yu to arrive before leaving.

At this time, Yuan Shikai was already sweating with fright, and after reading the telegram, he sat down in his chair and breathed a long sigh of relief: "It's still the emperor who sees thousands of miles!" ”

Ouyang Yu led five airships and galloped towards Urumqi, Xinjiang with 500,000 yuan of silver dollars, and encountered several strong winds and sand blowing several kilometers in the air along the way.

After searching for a while, no trace of the two airships could be found, and the time was very urgent, Ouyang Yu ordered to advance towards Urumqi desperately.

When the three airships rushed to Urumqi in the dust, Tao Mo and Dong Fuxiang saw Ouyang Yu carrying 300,000 silver dollars, and their hearts immediately settled: "Xinjiang is worry-free!" ”

All the soldiers and officers who surrendered from the Qing army were also overjoyed when they saw this, and they no longer complained, and they were determined to follow the Chinese Empire for the rest of their lives, and let their children and grandchildren follow the Chinese Empire to the end.

But Yuan Shikai couldn't care about this, and he didn't care that there was still a strong wind in the sky, so he immediately boarded the airship and set off to Beijing.

In the sky, Yuan Shikai didn't know how many times he vomited, and he didn't know how many times he was secretly thinking: It's over, it's over, the airship is about to crash!

But maybe Yuan Shikai's life should not be extinguished, and he finally arrived in the capital four days later, and he was carried on a stretcher to see Hu Zhen.

Seeing Hu Zhen, Yuan Shikai got up with a strong bone, and wanted to kneel and bow to Hu Zhen, but was stopped by Hu Zhen: "Yuan Aiqing, this time I pacified Xinjiang, and I was ordered to come back day and night, fortunately!" ”

Yuan Shikai was overjoyed when he heard this, knowing that he had finally gained a firm foothold in the new dynasty, but he didn't dare to be overjoyed, but bowed his head respectfully: "Your Majesty, this is what a minister should do!" ”

"Very good, Yuan Shikai, I have to give you a new task again, but time is very tight, you have to take office immediately!"

Yuan Shikai knew that if he still wanted to live and live better, he must do his best for the emperor in front of him, otherwise he might be poor for the rest of his life and never get out, so he immediately said respectfully: "The minister is willing to serve the emperor and go to the soup and fire!" ”

Hu Zhen smiled, knowing that he was in this time and space, and Yuan Shikai, the "capable minister of the troubled times" in front of him, could only be a capable minister, otherwise he had only a dead end, and from the current point of view, Yuan Shikai is still performing well, so he will boldly use him.

So he said:

"Oros is now sharpening its knives, and a war will start at any time, I plan to arrange for you to go to Goryeo, which you are very familiar with, and not to cause our army to worry about Goryeo and the Goryeo Japanese army! What do you think about this? ”

Hearing that he was going to send himself to Goryeo, Yuan Shikai knew that this was to reuse himself, so he said respectfully: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

"What do you think is the best thing to do with Goryeo?"

"The minister believes that Goryeo is a part of my Chinese culture, and it is advisable to turn Goryeo into a county and include it in the scope of my Chinese empire forever, which is the best policy!"

"Then what to do with the Wa Kingdom?" (To be continued.) )
