Chapter 284: Which Way the Blade Goes

Dias's explanation and statement gave the Overseas Chinese Protectors an excuse to directly intervene in the opposition, and won the hearts and minds of the people by opposing the Qing Army's land lease. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 But politicians know that in fact Dias is protecting the army, and using a terrible excuse.

But this rotten excuse could not be opposed, unless the Mexican rebels took the initiative to hand over the real murderers - but those thugs all joined the rebel army, how could the rebels from all walks of life hand over their own people at will - so the Qing Protector Army continued to march, and the whole Mexican was so angry that they gritted their teeth but were helpless.

Politicians around the world have speculated about why Díaz issued this statement, which will completely nail Díaz to the pillar of shame of traitors, and even Mexico City newspapers have accused Díaz of seriously hurting the patriotic fervor of the Mexican people. The U.S. government immediately asked the ambassador to Mexico to send a note to President Dias, demanding that Dias immediately withdraw the "statement on the intervention of the Qing State."

However, the U.S. ambassador to Mexico called back that the rebels were besieging Mexico City, and street fighting had broken out between the two sides, and that in order to avoid assassination, Díaz and his henchmen were not in the same place every day, and it was very difficult to find Dias. At this time, it was a critical battle for the siege of Mexico City by various rebel forces, and no one wanted to withdraw the army to deal with the Qing Protector Army, so the rear troops were extremely empty, especially in the northern and northwest regions of Mexico, the Baja California Peninsula where Wang Yongan landed was simply deserted, and the total population of the peninsula in two weeks was only 250,000, and the army added up to less than 1,000 people.

Only then did everyone suddenly realize that Dias used a trick to surround Wei and save Zhao, so as to relieve himself. The whole of Mexico understands that the Qing Protector Army swaggered in, it is the invaders, and since the invaders have come to the territory of the anti-government people's army, should you turn around and drive away the invaders?

The Qing Protector Army was used as a gunman!

So everyone criticized Wang Yongan's stupidity, originally the whole world was praising Wang Yongan's bravery in leading the army to protect overseas Chinese, but I didn't expect him to be so impulsive, I really thought that he was Huo Quai, Li Guang, and led the army to go on an expedition to take the Xiongnu Dragon Court?

"This Wang Yongan, what is he doing?" The Qing court was not calm anymore, and the regent Zaifeng said angrily, "He is trying to set himself on fire and lead the guns of the Americans to our Qing Dynasty, and quickly send him a telegram telling him to withdraw from Mexico immediately and apologize to the United States!" ”

A day later, Wang Yongan called back: "The general will not be subject to the king's life abroad." ”

Zaifeng was so angry that he shouted: "I want to remove him, I must remove him from his position as commander of the Overseas Chinese Army!" ”

Xu Shichang smiled bitterly and said: "Regent, if you remove him now, I'm afraid it will cause a mutiny in Jiangbei." ”

"What?" Zaifeng was taken aback.

Xu Shichang said: "The real tiger king Yongtai in Jiangbei still has tens of thousands of elites in the Jiangbei army. ”

"He's a mere twenty-four mixed ......"

"Have you forgotten that Wang Yongan is the envoy of the Jiangbei Protector, and his subordinates control all the troops in Jiangbei, and the five thousand soldiers are just a part of the army under his command." Xu Shichang persuaded bitterly, "Compared with Wang Yongan's high-profile behavior, this Wang Yongtai is the real scourge of cannibalism." Jiangbei is the foundation of Wang Yongan, if you want to move Wang Yongan, you have to move Jiangbei first, and you have to move Yangzhou first. ”

Zaifeng thought for a moment and said: "As soon as the Sichuan chaos is settled, we will start to deal with the Wang brothers, and we will not be subject to the orders of the monarch outside, is he still planning to mutiny in Huangqiao and the yellow robe will not be successful!" ”

Xu Shichang also has a little fear of the Wang brothers, these two will definitely affect the court and the world in the future, and they have been helping them, whether they are raising tigers for trouble. He secretly sent his worries to Yuan Shikai by telegram.

After Yuan Shikai received the telegram, he asked Zhang Yilu and said, "Zhongren, what do you think?" ”

Zhang Yilu stroked his beard and said: "Among the descendants of the Yuan family, no one can match Wang Yongtai's courage and Wang Yongan's wisdom. Regardless of Keding, Kewen, Kejian or Kequan, the brothers are not as good as them. If the proprietor wants to be the Washington of China, open a new era, and change the fate of China, he should reuse these two people. The two Wang brothers are a sharp treasure knife, if the proprietor is called the emperor, the blade will hurt the proprietor inward; If the proprietor is not the emperor, the blade will be turned outward for your use. ”

Yuan Shikai didn't have no intention of becoming emperor in his heart, but the timing was not right now, and he was very jealous of his reputation. Although Zaifeng hated him to the core, after all, the Qing court cultivated him, and if he overthrew the Manchu Qing and became emperor himself, he would definitely be scolded in the future. And if the mainstream today is a constitutional monarchy, he prefers to be a Cao Cao, and one day in the future, Yuan Keding will be able to replace him better, if not, he will not be in vain in his life.

To be the emperor or not to be the emperor really made him hesitate, and to treat Wang Yongan, his son-in-law, Yuan Shikai was even more complicated. A few days ago, Wang Yongan's brother Wang Yongtai sent someone to take his grandson Wang Cunyi back to Yangzhou, and his daughter's bones were also transported back to Yangzhou.

None of the descendants of the Yuan family has military and political wisdom, and they are inferior to both civil and military. In the future, we need to see how things have changed in the world, and look at the will of God.

After reaching an agreement with the Baja California Sur government, Wang Yongan left Du Yuesheng's eighth battalion to build the St. Lucas Point base camp. Wang Yongan fulfilled his wishes, but at the same time did not want them to disrupt his marching plans, or even provide them with cover if they fought – as the Germans and their allies did during World War II, the Italians, and became a burden.

Before leaving, Wang Yongan called Du Yuesheng into his room and whispered to him: "Mingyong, leave your ninth battalion, don't be careless." ”

Du Yuesheng smiled confidently: "Commander, don't worry, the Mexican army is vulnerable, if they come, I will kill as many as I want." ”

Wang Yongan shook his head and said: "Although the Mexican army is vulnerable, there are many of them, and there are few of us. Your ninth battalion is only 300 men, plus the rest of the workers is only 500 men, and the Mexicans are more than 100,000 men, how many days do you think you will be able to attack us? ”

Du Yuesheng was stunned and didn't know how to answer.
