At this time, Wang Yongan once again came to the Prime Minister's Office to visit Yuan Shikai, and the two continued to chat in the secret room for two hours, but this time the two did not make any decisions, but Yuan Shikai shared with him the news that he had planted in North Korea. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info The Japanese initially prepared six divisions, and then they are still building camps, although they will not start this year, but judging from the scale of the camps they built, the Japanese are ready to use the strength of ten divisions this time. The strength of the ten divisions can be said to be the largest military strength used by Japan after the end of the Russo-Japanese War.

Yuan Shikai said with a wry smile: "Although I can make peace with Japan, but to be honest, we can't fight with the Japanese." ”

Wang Yongan analyzed: "The tense situation in Europe is bound to dare not use troops to intervene in Asia, so it gives the Japanese the best opportunity, but it is precisely because of the tense situation in Europe that I guess Japan must have received a warning from European countries that Japan must not really wage war against China and China." So I analyze, the Japanese are just armed deterrence. ”

"Is it necessary to use ten divisions for armed deterrence? If it's just a deterrent, the price is a bit too great, and once the Japanese ride the tiger is difficult, they can only go hard. Yuan Shikai said, "Now the Japanese have only assembled two divisions in Korea, but by the end of the year, they will be able to assemble eight divisions, and by next spring, they will be able to assemble ten divisions." ”

"Reunify China as soon as possible." Wang Yongan sighed.

Yuan Shikai patted him on the shoulder and said, "So this burden is handed over to you." ”

Wang Yongxin sighed, grandma's, before leaving, let Yuan Shikai play again, saying that the unification depends on himself, he can't afford this responsibility, and hurriedly said: "The son-in-law can do his best, he has done his best, if the southerners are not willing to unify and want to live their own small life behind closed doors, they need their father-in-law to come forward." ”

Yuan Shikai shook his head and said, "You little fox, you are very cunning." ”

Leaving from Yuan Shikai's mansion and returning to the Jingshi Hotel, I saw Liu Tong sitting on a chair in a leisurely manner, and when he saw Wang Yongan, he immediately jumped up, ran over in three or two steps and said: "Dashuai, the house has been bought, and their whole family has run away and gone to Fengtian outside the Guanwai." ”

Wang Yongan was surprised: "What do you mean?" Went to Mukden? What did they go to Mukden for? ”

Liu Tong said: "It's that Baoliang, I heard that it was you who bought the house, so you actually spoke, stammered that the whole clan returned to Guanwai, and even beat the son of the big smoker who refused to leave the capital with a big mouth." The son of the big smoker didn't even sell the ancestral house, but Bao Liang didn't say anything, but he didn't expect to hear that he refused to come, and Bao Liang actually gave him a mouthful. ”

Wang Yongan touched his chin and said: "Although this Baoliang has a stroke, his brain is not broken, and he knows that he has no way to live when I enter the Beijing Division." ”

Liu Tong asked in a low voice: "Do you need to intercept them halfway?" ”

Wang Yongan shook his head and said, "No, for a cripple, there is nothing to intercept and kill." ”

"Yes." Liu Channel.

"You can just let the wind out secretly, you don't have to do it ourselves." Wang Yongan added.

Liu Tong stumbled and almost fell to the ground, this is called no hands, no need to do it yourself, this trick to kill people with a knife is vicious, and the end of the Baoliang family can be seen. Later, Wang Yongan left Liu Tong in Beijing to accept Baoliang's mansion and renamed it Yes Fei Villa. Taken from the Linjiang Immortal of the Ming Dynasty scholar Yang Shen, the sentence "right and wrong, success or failure, turn your head empty", indicating that fame and fortune are fleeting, and also implying that he will return power to Yuan Shikai after entering Beijing in the future.

Yuan Shikai also learned that Wang Yongan bought the enemy's ancestral house at a very low price, and renamed it Yes or Fei Villa, especially Yes and Fei Villa, which made Yuan Shikai reverie a lot, and then said to Xu Shichang: "This Wang Jingyun is becoming more and more cunning. ”

Xu Shichang couldn't help but say: "To retreat as advance, this son's ambition is not simple, if you are there, he will not dare to keep a low profile, if you are not there, I don't know who can stand out if the generals of Beiyang compete with him." ”

Yuan Shikai's heart sank, this sentence then he thought of Zhang Yilu's warning to him, more than a dozen sons of the Yuan family are not as good as Wang Yongan, just because of this sentence, Yuan Shikai slowly alienated Zhang Yilu, in his opinion, no matter how bad his son is, he will not be much worse than Wang Yongan, but today Xu Shichang also said so, which proves that not only Zhang Yilu can see it, but anyone can see that the children of the Yuan family are not as good as Wang Yongan, and the Yuan family will inevitably be pressed under him in the future, and he needs to think of a way to curb Wang Yongan and support Yuan Keding.

At this time, the secretary reported that Japanese Foreign Minister Takaaki Kato had arrived in Beijing, hoping to meet Yuan Shikai as soon as possible and discuss with him in detail how to resolve the conflict. After that, Kato Takaaki's negotiation team, the Japanese minister to China, Kumataro Honda, the Japanese envoy plenipotentiary to China, Hikoyoshi Ijiin, and others entered the prime minister's office in a vigorous manner, and brought the negotiation demands put forward by the Japanese side, and the first demand they put forward was not the release of Japanese prisoners of war, nor compensation for Japanese losses, let alone the reparation for land cession, but Wang Yongan must go into the wilderness.

Takaaki Kato said: "As a politician who is very hostile to Japan, Wang Yongan will bring unnecessary troubles to the Sino-Japanese negotiations, and if he wants Japan to negotiate with China calmly, Wang Yongan must go into the wilderness." ”

Lu Zhengxiang, who was also the translator and also the foreign minister, stood beside Yuan Shikai and immediately retorted: "This move of the Japanese Empire is an interference in China's internal affairs, and we absolutely cannot accept it." ”

Several Japanese ministers immediately looked at Yuan Shikai, and Ijiin Hikoyoshi said: "This is our first demand, if this demand cannot be met, China and Japan cannot coexist peacefully, and the negotiations will be nullified." Then please prepare for the Sino-Japanese war, and we will explain the war to the desired countries on the grounds that your country is not negotiating in good faith. Several Japanese ministers stood up and began to pack their belongings, and it looked like the negotiations were coming to an end as soon as they began.

Lu Zhengxiang and the other ministers of Beiyang were dumbfounded, and hurriedly looked at Yuan Shikai, Yuan Shikai also frowned, raised his hand and said, "Wait a minute, what else do you have to ask for?" ”

Takaaki Kato said: "Article 1 does not harm China's interests, and it also shows that your request for hope for peace has been rejected by you. Wang Yongan is your enemy in Beiyang, the enemy of our Empire Japan, and the enemy of Britain, France, Germany, Russia and other Western countries. ”

Yuan Shikai has a headache, Wang Yongan has just announced that he will lead the Jiangbei Army and Beiyang to merge into the National Defense Force, and Wang Yongan will be sent into the wilderness here. The Japanese really gave Yuan Shikai a problem.
