Chapter 313: Can't I Be an Emperor?
After the imperial court sent a telegram, the first person to send a congratulatory telegram was actually Yuan Shikai, Yuan Shikai had no jealousy at all, he knew too well what the imperial court was thinking, and what Zaifeng was thinking, so he just smiled slightly and told Wang Yongan to promote my country's prestige outside. Pen %Fun Cabinet www.biquge.info other ministers also sent congratulatory telegrams, and for a while, Wang Yongan's office and bedroom pieces of paper flew sideways, Wang Yongan simply did not read the telegram, and specially found two small soldiers to distinguish it, and put it aside if it was a congratulatory telegram. As for the words of thanks, Yu Yadong is better at writing words of thanks, so let him call back one by one according to the language.
Okay, Yu Yadong, a dignified chief executive of the Special Administrative Region, has become the private secretary who sent a congratulatory telegram to Wang Yongan.
Everything in the San Lucaste district was so busy that Wang Yongan had endless work to do every day, so much so that with the arrival of a typhoon in early October, he fell ill with a cold.
Wang Yongan, who is not physically strong, really shocked everyone by catching a cold this time, if something happens to Wang Yongan, there will be no backbone in the San Lucaste district. On October 3, Shen Aisun sent a telegram that the presidential election had started ahead of schedule, and when the San Lucas legislators had not yet arrived in Mexico City, Madero successfully ran for the thirtieth president of the Federative Republic of Mexico with extraordinary campaign requirements.
"This kid is too anxious." Wang Yongan couldn't help laughing and said, "I estimate that he will step down soon." ”
Xiao Xiaoyue glanced at him and said, "Madero stepped down, what are you happy about?" ”
Wang Yongan said: "Madero's resignation means that chaos in Mexico is coming, and the good days of our San Lucaste district are coming, isn't it worth celebrating?" ”
"The farther away you are, the happier you are, what do you think about this?" Xiao Xiaoyue said angrily, "You have to know how many Mexicans will die, how many people will lose their relatives and families." ”
Wang Yongan said helplessly: "Okay, you are a peace fairy, but do you want to know that these Mexicans are always non-my race, if they live well, they will definitely find small shoes for us Chinese to wear, so I hope they are unlucky." ”
"When are we going back?" Xiao Xiaoyue asked, since Wang Yongan's last story and a song "Father", Xiao Xiaoyue's thoughts about her parents have become deeper and deeper, and the thought of going home has kept her awake at night. Of course, she also hopes to bring the world-famous General Jingyun to prove to her parents that her original choice was not wrong.
Wang Yongan looked at the calendar, October 3, 1911, two days later the convoy will come from the Panama Canal to the San Lucaste district. The arrival of the convoy was bound to cause another dispute, and dealing with the navy that was finally Manchu had to be done in the first place.
It's a bit hard!
Wang Yongan sighed, the last thing he wanted to do was to attack his own people, but he also knew that because the Qing Dynasty had a rich navy, the navy was more loyal to the Qing court than the army. Fortunately, the Xinhai Revolution is about to start, he can delay until after the Xinhai Revolution, Yuan Shikai out of the mountain, if he drags it out until next year, the Manchu Dynasty will collapse, and the fleet will naturally have no backer, so it can only defect to him.
Second, if he supports the revolutionary party after returning to China, it means that he will have to face the army of his father-in-law Yuan Shikai, and if he joins the Qing court, it means that he stands on the opposite side of the country's revolutionary youth and history, and is abused by the whole country. Now that Wang Yongan is abroad, he has the support of both sides, and the revolutionaries regard him as a model for Chinese soldiers, and the Qing court has to treat him as a guest.
Wang Yongan once heard such a sentence, the bow and arrow is the most dangerous only when the bowstring is tightened and has not yet been shot, and the bow and arrow shot out are not dangerous.
On 2 October, the convoy sailed through the Panama Canal towards the San Lucaste district in the north.
On October 5, the convoy arrived in the San Lucaste district, and Wang Yongan led all the overseas Chinese escort troops to meet Li Zhun and other admirals, and met Cheng Biguang, the captain of the cruiser Haiqi, for the first time.
Cheng Biguang, a native of Xiangshan, Guangdong, graduated from the Fujian Shipbuilding School, and was originally a pipe band of the Guangdong Navy Master Guangbing, and participated in the First Sino-Japanese War. After the defeat of the First Sino-Japanese War, Cheng Biguang was responsible for handing over the surrender document to the Japanese Navy, but as a result, he became a punching bag for national sentiment, was dismissed from his post by the imperial court and investigated, and was scolded by the Chinese people for betraying the country and seeking glory. Cheng Biguang was 35 years old at the time, and after being dismissed and returning to his hometown, he secretly joined the Zhongxing Association organized by Sun Yat-sen under the persuasion of his younger brother Cheng Kuiguang. He thought that Cheng Biguang was hiding in Penang because he was responsible for the defeat of the First Sino-Japanese War and submitted the surrender to Japan, and he avoided Nanyang without seeing his hometown father, so he persuaded him to re-emerge from the mountain and recast the Beiyang Naval Division with him.
Cheng Biguang was originally reluctant to leave the navy, but after the persuasion of his old boss Li Hongzhang, he immediately said that he would follow Li Hongzhang and successively served as the warship management band, the director of the shipping department, and the commander of the fleet. In April this year, Cheng Biguang served as the pipe band of the cruiser Haiqi and was ordered to attend the coronation ceremony of King George V of the United Kingdom.
After that, the Mexican Exclusion Incident in the Americas occurred, and the Qing court immediately formed a fleet to protect overseas Chinese, and finally there was a fierce debate within the Qing court over the choice of who should be the head of the navy of the overseas Chinese protection army. Because of the strength of Li Zhun's old boss, Zhang Mingqi, the governor of Liangguang, and after Li Hongzhang's death, no one in the court resigned, and finally Li Zhun served as the commander of the navy of the Qing Dynasty Protector Army.
Li Zhun was appointed commander of the navy of the Overseas Chinese Protectorate, and Cheng Biguang was appointed deputy commander, and the imperial court then ordered the cruiser Yuhaiqi to immediately rush to the Gulf of Mexico to deter Mexico. Of course, Cheng Biguang also understands that the so-called deterrence is small, and Wang Yongan led a large army to crush the Mexican People's Army. In August, the Protector Army and the Mexican People's Army officially fought and defeated the "100,000" Mexican People's Army with 5,000 Overseas Chinese Protectors, which shook the whole world and forced the Mexican government to agree to establish the 31st state, the San Lucas Chinese Special Zone, which was the greatest achievement of the Chinese overseas and completely re-acquainted the world with Chinese.
Cheng Biguang admired Wang Yongan very much, so he was extremely excited to see Wang Yongan, but Li Zhun was a little cold to Wang Yongan.
Li Zhun asked rhetorically: "Jing Yunjun wants to be an overseas king?" ”
Wang Yongan didn't answer, but asked with a smile: "Do you think it's not good?" ”
Li Zhun sighed and said, "I don't support it, you and I are ...... by the emperor's grace."
"Wait a minute, it is you who receive the emperor's grace in the world, not my world, if the more than 30 people in my Yangzhou Wang family are not the emperor's grace, there will not be only me and my second brother left." Wang Yongan sneered.
Li Zhun suddenly asked, "Are you really going to rebel?" ”
Wang Yongan shook his head and said: "No, my strength is not enough to overthrow the Qing Dynasty, so I will not rebel." ”
"What Jingyun Jun means, if the strength is enough, Jun will definitely oppose the Qing?" Li Zhun said with wide eyes.
Wang Yongan nodded and said, "Can't I be the emperor?" ”
Li Zhun was dumbfounded.
Wang Yongan laughed, patted Li Zhun on the shoulder and said, "I'm joking, don't think about it, I won't be the emperor, and I don't have the ability to be the emperor." ”
Li Zhun sighed and said, "If you do something crazy one day, I won't be surprised, because you are a person...... Elusive. ”
Wang Yongan asked, "What do you think of St. Lucas?" ”
"It's bustling." Li Zhun had to admit.
Wang Yongan said with a smile: "In less than two months, the number of Chinese in St. Lucas has reached 100,000, do you know? There are only over 50,000 Mexicans in Baja California Sur, and when I return to China, I will send the victims of the disaster here in batches, so that the population of San Lucas will reach one million, so that this territory will be completely ours. ”
Li Zhun said: "Jing Yunjun, why did you do this?" You already have the Jiangbei region, more than 200,000 square kilometers, and a population of more than 20 million, so why do you have to ...... overseas?"
Wang Yongan said: "Retreat!" The higher I was in the country, the more worried I was that if I accidentally fell down, I would fall to pieces, so I had to find a way out. San Lucas is my way out, and if I fail one day, I still have a way out. ”
Li Zhun shook his head and said, "You are too cautious. ”
Wang Yongan said: "I don't have confidence in the domestic struggle. ”
"Domestic struggle, what do you mean by that?" Lee asked.
Wang Yongan did not answer, but said: "Do you remember, when we left the Philippines, you asked me how long it would take to restore the majesty of the Beiyang, and I said it would take 20 years. ”
Li Zhun said: "I remember, does the commander think it's possible?" ”
Wang Yongan smiled bitterly and said: "Is the domestic situation possible now? Everyone is rebelling, the court is busy quelling the rebellion, how can there be time to recuperate, where can there be time to educate the people, how can there be time......"
"So you want to build this foreign country overseas?" Lee Joon-do.
Wang Yongan thought for a while before saying: "Maybe, I always feel that no matter whether I return to China or not, I can do something for the country." ”
Li Zhun said: "This country of yours must not be the Great Qing Dynasty. ”
Wang Yongan laughed and said: "Those who understand me, Li Dudu." Then he asked, "I don't know what Li Dudu's plans are?" ”
Li Zhun sighed: "I'll stay." ”
"Oh?"
"Since I can't stop Jing Yunjun from opposing the imperial court, I might as well be out of sight and out of mind here." Li Zhun smiled bitterly, made his own decision, and also helped Wang Yongan solve a big problem. If Li Zhun objected, Wang Yongan could only kill the killer, but fortunately, Li Zhun chose to stay and live.
