Lin Xu, who had been in the dust all the way, hurried to General Shengjing's mansion, and by the time he arrived, it was already five days later.

The guard in front of the door naturally recognized the original chief writer of the Fengtian Times, before leaving Shengjing, Lin Xu was a frequent visitor to the General's Mansion, and often met Zhang Yi to communicate about the reform and reform.

The guard saw that Lin Xu was covered with dust, his face was tired, and he was already a little thin, so he hurriedly stepped forward to take the reins of the horse and said, "Isn't this Mr. Jungu, you came from Jingshi." ”

Lin Xu hurriedly said: "Don't talk nonsense, let me ask you, who is in charge of General Shengjing's Mansion now?" ”

The guard replied: "Mr. Tungu, now that the general has not returned from an inspection trip to the United States, General Zhang Yihu and Lord Liang are in charge of the house, and both of them are ......."

Before the guard could finish answering, Lin Xu had already rushed in, and the guard shouted behind him: "Mr. Tungu, Mr. Tungu, you wait for me to report to you......"

Lin Xu replied: "One hundred thousand is in a hurry, when I see a tiger brother, I will naturally explain ......" Saying this, he didn't look back and went straight into the general's mansion and ran directly into the office hall.

There is nothing special today, Zhang Yihu and Liang Dunyan, Yang Du and others were chatting in the hall, and when they heard a noise outside, Lin Xu had already hurriedly barged in.

Zhang Yihu saw that Lin Xu was tired, his lips were already cracked, and he was covered in dust, so he knew that the matter was not small, and hurriedly got up and said, "Mr. Jungu, what's wrong with you?" ”

Lin Xu, who came into the hall, saw Zhang Yihu and the others, and couldn't hold on any longer, so he sat directly on the ground and gasped for breath.

Zhang Yihu and the others were shocked, and hurriedly helped Lin Xu to his seat, and Liang Dunyan shouted: "Come on, hurry up and serve tea and prepare some meals!" ”

After a while, the servant first came up with a cup of tea.

Lin Xu took a sip slowly, gasped for a moment, relieved himself a little, and said: "Yihu, Songsheng, put incense on the case, and take the order!" ”

Zhang Yihu and Liang Dunyan were taken aback, and looked at each other, what's wrong with this Lin Xu, he was almost tired all the way, was it just to announce a will?

Lin Xu saw the two of them, and shouted urgently: "The emperor's decree has come down, and you are not ready to accept it!" ”

Everyone in the hall reacted, and Liang Dunyan hurriedly ordered someone to set up an incense table and kneel to receive the holy decree.

Lin Xu took out the holy decree and read: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said, since ancient times, time has changed, the world has changed, the poor have changed, and the change has passed, and the general has a long time." Since the Opium War, the country has been in trouble, the people's livelihood has withered, there are groups of people in turmoil, there are foreign powers outside, 30,000 miles of mountains and rivers are covered with dust, and 40,000 lives have been humiliated. If the national fortune is like this, do not seek innovation, the country's demise is not far away, I have been in a big position for a long time, the difficulty of the state affairs, the difficulty of remembering the ancestors, determined to prosper, the reform and change the law, however, the night is small, the bad self discipline, the new policy is difficult, Zha Shengjing General Zhang Yi, has always been loyal and brave, has made great contributions to the court, in order to cover the world, I am in the midst of difficulties, and the absence of the good minister, Zhang Yi is specially called to lead the army into the customs, maintain the king's driving, clarify the four seas, sweep away Wuzhang, great success, than not stingy rewards, stay in the military aircraft, and be crowned king with a different surname, which is also the meaning of the question, May the general read me and pull out the Qing in the recklessness, for the great responsibility of the frontier, wave his troops into the customs, and determine the king's affairs......"

Lin Xu's words, Zhang Yihu and Liang Dunyan were shocked, although they knew that the struggle between the old and the new parties in the capital was extremely fierce, but they did not expect that Emperor Guangxu would ask Zhang Yi to lead troops into King Guanqin, the situation has developed to such a point, I am afraid that now the emperor and the new party are in danger, and they may be wiped out by the back party at any time.

Lin Xu said: "Ladies and gentlemen, now the Empress Dowager yī'dǎng has completely controlled the defense of the capital, and all the armed forces are controlled by the Empress Dowager's old diehards led by Rong Lu and Chongli, and it is possible to launch a forced palace at any time to abdicate for the emperor, and the emperor may even have life worries. ”

Zhang Yihu looked at Liang Dunyan and Yang Du, he was an expert in military affairs, but in this kind of political struggle, he was almost an idiot, and he could only ask Liang Dunyan and Yang Du to decide.

Liang Dunyan was also full of embarrassment, and replied: "Brother Jungu, now the general has not returned to the United States, such a big matter, without his personal order, none of us can be the master, and even some suggestions can not be given to you, the general once said before leaving, all political matters are handed over to Tang Shaoyi to decide, and all military matters are handed over to Xu Huaijin to decide, and Yihu and I are only responsible for Fengtian, and the entire three eastern provinces are now up and down to Xu Huaijin and Tang Shaoyi. ”

Lin Xu hurriedly said: "Now Xu Huaijin and Tang Shaoyi are far away in Heilongjiang, once they come and go, they will be delayed for half a month, and when they come, the daylilies are cold, and now that there is the emperor's holy decree, what are you still hesitating about?" ”

Zhang Yihu said angrily: "Mr. Lin, you must know that this is not a child's play, once there is a war, there will be thousands of soldiers killed, there will be millions of taels of silver, or even tens of millions of taels, no one knows, how long will this battle last?" ”

Lin Xu said angrily: "Zhang Yihu, is it possible that these people's lives are more important than the emperor's lives?" Without the emperor, is the Qing Dynasty still the Qing Dynasty? ”

Zhang Yihu snorted angrily and said: "Without the emperor, I don't know how about the Qing Dynasty, but I know that now on the other side of the Yalu River, tens of thousands of Japanese troops will invade the Northeast at any time, and our army has gone to Guannai, and the Japanese army will come over, so if it doesn't work, it will be ruined, and if the country dies, it will be useless to break the emperor!" The emperor is honorable, is it important to have the lives of 20 million people in the northeast? ”

"You!" ……

Lin Xu was so angry that he couldn't speak. Liang Dunyan hurriedly said: "Brother Jungu, don't worry, let's send a telegram to Xu Huaijin and Tang Shaoyi, explaining the situation here, and at the same time send a telegram to the United States now, now from Germany, France, and England, there are submarine cables to the United States, which can send and receive transoceanic telegrams, just afraid of exchanges, we have a few days, we can achieve it, you wait a few days, without the consent of Xu Huaijin and Tang Shaoyi, without the order of General Zhang Yi, we will not dare to order the dispatch of troops no matter what, And we don't have the power to mobilize the army on a large scale. Lin Xu released it with a belly, there was no way, although he himself was familiar with Liang Dunyan and Zhang Yihu, but such an important matter, without the consent of the top boss, how dare they come nonsense? This is a sin of losing his head, Lin Xu can only secretly hold back, and he has no choice but to reply: "Okay, you can contact the three of them now, the situation in the capital is getting worse day by day, but there is no wait!" ”
