Wang Yongan is not impossible to cross the river to support, but he thinks more, if he leads troops to support Zhang Xun, what will he get, and even thinks that supporting the Qing army in Jiangnan is tantamount to suicide, first, the Jiangbei Army and the revolutionary army in Jiangnan can only be killed to the death, and the only one who can get cheap can only be Yuan Shikai; Second, Wang Yongan had a lot of business in Jiangnan, and at this time his business was not affected by the revolution in various places, and it has to be said that the revolutionary party deliberately showed favor because of the fear of his Jiangbei Army, but once the Jiangbei Army and the Revolutionary Army tore their faces and fought in Jiangnan, the Revolutionary Army could retaliate against him by sanctioning his business; The third point is that Wang Yongan also knows that the historical trend is irreversible, the Qing Dynasty should fall, he Wang Yongan will never support the continuation of the Qing Dynasty, Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary army represents a new era, he is in his own purpose and cannot support Sun Yat-sen for the time being, but he will never rebel against history.

Thinking of this, Wang Yongan sent a telegram to Yuan Shikai, saying that he had pacified the Anqing Rebellion, and the Jiangbei Army suffered heavy casualties and was unable to cross the river to support Zhang Xun's troops in Nanjing, and only hoped that Zhang Xun could fight bravely, and congratulated Zhang Xunqi on his victory, and at the same time hoped that the imperial court could support the guns and ammunition in time.

When Yuan Shikai received the telegram, he was furious, and after a long time, he sneered and said, "This little fox cub is now in my army." ”

Duan Qirui immediately said: "This person occupies the north of the Lianghuai River, and he will inevitably be a big trouble for the Prime Minister in the future." ”

Xu Shichang hahad: "Not necessarily, this person is cunning, but the more cunning a person is, the less courageous he is, and he will suffer from gains and losses for his own interests, so this little Zhuge will not succeed." ”

"I have to guard against it, this person is like a poisonous snake, a deadly move." Duan Qirui said, he made up his mind to go against Wang Yongan, Wang Yongan was still Yuan Shikai's son-in-law before, and now he refuses to serve as Yuan Shikai's privy envoy, he has offended Yuan Shikai and become a big trouble for the Beiyang Department.

Everyone couldn't help but look at Yuan Shikai, they didn't know what Yuan Shikai was thinking in his heart, after a long time, Yuan Shikai suddenly smiled and said: "It's okay if he is in Jiangbei, we have time to eliminate the revolutionary party in Wuchang and Sichuan Province first, we occupy the right time and place in the north, and we will definitely fix the rebels in time." ”

Everyone was shocked, and the meaning of this was that the Beiyang Army had secretly regarded the Jiangbei Army as an opponent. Duan Qirui was suddenly overjoyed, clenched his hands into fists, and said: "The War Department must have formulated all the battle plans, Your Excellency, do you need to transfer the army in the northeast?" ”

"Tune it out, but you have to deal with Wuchang first." Yuan Shikai said.

And Zhang Xun, who was in Nanjing, was so angry that he fainted directly after receiving a call back from Wang Yongan, and was pressed for a long time before he woke up, and after waking up, he jumped up and scolded: "Wang Yongan, who was raised by a son of a bitch!" You villain! Because of the contradiction between me and him back then, now I want to fall into the well, completely ignoring my daughter? This capricious villain, villain! He paced back and forth angrily, his eyes red with anger, and the people around him did not dare to speak.

"Dashuai, what now?" In the end, it was the staff member Zhao Mucun who asked.

Zhang Xun exhaled and calmed down, then thought about it, and suddenly clapped his hands and said, "What do you think of this battle of Nanjing?" ”

The subordinates lowered their heads, indignant and did not dare to speak, Zhao Mucun did not dare to speak, everyone knew that with more and more revolutionary parties outside the city, especially Sun Yat-sen returned from the United States and arrived in Nanjing, Huang Xing came to Nanjing from Wuchang, almost all the revolutionary youth and revolutionary troops of the whole country gathered under the city of Nanjing, and there were only eight banner soldiers in addition to the Jiangnan patrol battalion defending the city, and even many Eight Banner soldiers escaped from Jiangbei, and no one had the confidence to defend Nanjing.

Seeing this, Zhang Xun smiled bitterly and said: "In my opinion, Nanjing may not be able to hold it, but if it can't be held, it must be guarded!" Because you and I are both generals of the Qing Dynasty, how can there be a reason for soldiers to escape from the battle! Seeing his righteous words, everyone couldn't say anything they wanted to persuade, so they lowered their heads one after another, but they didn't expect Zhang Xun to say: "But if you have family members staying in Nanjing, you should send them to Jiangbei as soon as possible, if we die in battle, it will be for the country, they are all old, young, sick and disabled, there is no need to do this." Kimura, you personally sent my family to Jiangbei so that they could be resettled. ”

"Where is it sent to Jiangbei?" Zhao Mucun hurriedly asked.

Zhang Xun thought for a while and said, "Yangzhou, just send it to Wang Yongan's house and let him watch it." Damn, he has a marriage contract with my daughter, and now that he is cheating his father-in-law, I will make him lose face in front of the whole world! ”

Zhang Xun's foolish loyalty to the Qing court made it difficult for him to abandon the city of Nanjing like everyone else, and in fact, many officials and even bannermen in the city had already seen the meaning of the imperial court, mainly Yuan Shikai, and abandoned Nanjing, so they left Nanjing one after another. But Zhang Xun was depressed and stuck to Nanjing, counting on the imperial army to go south.

Looking at this, this can only be Zhang Xun's wishful thinking, after all, even his quasi-son-in-law Jiangbei Protector Wang Yongan is unwilling to rescue, let alone others, but Yuan Shikai is powerless, on the one hand, he wants to support Feng Guozhang to conquer Wuchang, on the other hand, he has to guard against the Jiangbei Army going north to suddenly make chaos, but a sudden incident happened, so that all his plans failed, after the 20th town of the Beiyang New Army from the northeast to the south arrived in Luanzhou, he sent a telegram to the whole country to express the military advice, and at the same time Yan Xishan launched an armed uprising in Shanxi and announced the recovery of Shanxi.

The initiators of the Luanzhou military admonition were Zhang Shaozeng, the commander of the 20th town of the Beiyang New Army, Wu Luzhen, the commander of the 6th town, and Lan Tianwei, the commander of the 12th mixed association. These three people are known as the three heroes of non-commissioned officers in the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School, and they all secretly joined the League, but because of the complexity and long-term struggle within the League, these three gradually lost contact with the League, but the three were dissatisfied with the Manchu Qing and determined to overthrow the Manchu Empire.

After the Wuchang Revolution, Yuan Shikai came back, first beating the revolutionary party, conquering Hanyang and Hankou, and then stopping at Wuchang, returning to the imperial court to drive the regent Zaifeng out of the imperial court, and became the prime minister of the cabinet above 10,000 people under one person. Now Yuan Shikai ordered all the troops to go south to support Wuchang and conquer Wuchang in one go, but unexpectedly, at this time, Zhang Shaozeng stabbed Yuan Shikai in the back.

Zhang Shao once ordered the 20,000 soldiers of the 20th Town of the Beiyang New Army to stop going south and garrison Luanzhou, and ordered the imperial court to abolish the imperial system and seek a republic. Although Zhang Shao did not directly announce the uprising, but this power to force the palace soldiers to admonish the world still made the world in an uproar, Luanzhou and the Beijing division are only more than 200 kilometers apart, once Zhang Shao has all his strength to attack the Beijing division, you can reach the Beijing division within seven days, Yuan Shikai looked at the tens of thousands of rebels close at hand, frightened cold sweat came out, where is there still the heart to calculate Wang Yongan.

Yuan Shikai immediately tried his best to appease Zhang Shaozeng, and even sent a telegram to Wang Yongan to appease Wang Yongan to prevent Wang Yongan from going north and attacking the Beijing division with Zhang Shaozeng, a madman.
