Chapter 381: Yuan Shikai calculates Wang Yongan
Report. "Zhao Bingjun came to the office www.biquge.info of the Prime Minister of the Interior, stood at the door and said respectfully. As the Minister of Civil Affairs, Zhao Bingjun is not only responsible for local administration, local autonomy, immigration, expatrias, relief, rehabilitation, etc., but also responsible for police work, Yuan Shikai established China's first modern police system and continues to use it today, and its specific implementer is Zhao Bingjun, it can be said that Zhao Bingjun is the originator of China's police system.
Although the War Department played a great role in the assassination of Wu Luzhen and the expulsion of Zhang Shaozeng, Zhao Bingjun's police department secretly made a lot of efforts to assist the War Department in destroying the connection between Wu Luzhen, Zhang Shaozeng and Lan Tianwei, cutting off the telegram to make it difficult for them to respond, assassinating the Northern Revolutionary Party, monitoring the actions of the Revolutionary Party and sabotaging it, Zhao Bingjun contributed a lot to Yuan Shikai, of course, he also made a lot of benefits from it, so that some people died.
Confidential Secretary Lu Bicheng nodded at Zhao Bingjun, walked in and said, "Prime Minister, Minister of Civil Affairs Zhao Bingjun asks to see him." ”
Yuan Shikai said: "Let him in." ”
At the beginning of the year, Lu Bicheng was still the principal of the Shanghi Girls' Public School funded by Wang Yongan, but Shanghi was restored, and many female students in the school did not dare to come to school, and some girls directly participated in the revolution. In the eyes of some angry youths, as long as they are not their own people, they are enemies.
Lu Bicheng resigned and left the school in a fit of anger, and then thought carefully that if she wanted to achieve equality between men and women, she must find an ambitious and ideal backer, and quickly determined three candidates in her heart, Sun Yat-sen, Wang Yongan and Yuan Shikai.
The first to be rejected by her was Sun Yat-sen, who, despite his open-mindedness, had no political resources and no military support to support her ideals. Moreover, Mr. Sun does not respect women, and he can do anything to abandon his wife, let alone respect women and achieve equality of women's rights.
The second one she denied was Wang Yongan, at that time, Wang Yongan was famous overseas and returned with a reputation, and he was most familiar with her, the two were still close friends, and they had faced verbal criticism together, but Lu Bicheng thought that Wang Yongan was too cunning, and even if a person who was too cunning never failed, it was difficult to succeed and become a national leader to help her realize her ideals. Lu Bicheng's analysis of Wang Yongan is too good, because Wang Yongan is too cautious, which makes him hesitate at critical moments and it is difficult to change the situation in the world.
Therefore, in order to realize his political ambitions, Lu Bicheng rushed to Beijing to promote gender equality to Yuan Shikai, Yuan Shikai once saved Lu Bicheng, and was very concerned about this junior, and after knowing Lu Bicheng's political ambitions, he let Lu Bicheng serve as his confidential secretary, and Lu Bicheng also became the first woman to enter politics since the early Republic of China.
After Zhao Bingjun was brought in by Lu Bicheng, Lu Bicheng went to make a cup of tea and put it in front of him, and then withdrew. Zhao Bingjun reported at this time: "Our ministry intercepted a telegram, a secret telegram sent by Wang Yongan of Jiangbei to Zhang Shaozeng, and I don't know whether to say it or not. ”
Yuan Shikai said with a smile: "What should not be said, all the news of Wang Jingyun should be said, especially the secret message with Zhang Shaozeng, what did they say?" ”
Zhao Bingjun put the secret telegram in his briefcase on the table and said, "Wang Jingyun clearly rejected Zhang Shaozeng's proposal to attack the Beijing division on the north and south routes, and warned Zhang Shaozeng that if the rebels attacked the Beijing division, he would lead the army to support you, the Prime Minister." ”
Yuan Shikai touched his chin, smacked the meaning, and said, "He replied with a secret message?" ”
"Yes."
"But why use cryptography?"
"At the beginning, Zhang Shaozeng was also a secret telecommunications businessman."
"No, you're wrong, Zhang Shaozeng was in order to besiege the Beijing division in four ways, and the military secrecy was confined, so he secretly negotiated with each other, but he refused Zhang Shaozeng could have been telegraphed to object." Yuan Shikai sneered, "Unless he doesn't want to offend the rebel Sun Dang too much, and he also wants to take advantage of it." ”
Zhao Bingjun was surprised: "Benefits? Prime Minister, what do you mean by the benefits......"
"Have you paid attention to King Qin?" Yuan Shikai said lightly, "The so-called King Qin who led the army is very likely to wait for us to fight with Zhang Shaozeng, Wu Luzhen and others, and wipe out all of us and the rebel army in one go, and then replace you and me in the imperial court." Hum! This little Zhuge is really loud, he is worthy of being my son-in-law, ruthless enough. ”
Zhao Bingjun said in a low voice: "Maybe he didn't mean it......"
"You don't know much about him, this person is not ambitious, I should take precautions." Yuan Shikai smiled bitterly, "If Keding and Kewen have half of his mind, I won't worry about him." Alas...... I'm just worried that no one will be able to stop him in a hundred years. ”
Zhao Bingjun said: "Or we want his head too?" So as not to worry about the Prime Minister? ”
Yuan Shikai shook his head and said: "No, not to mention that the Wang brothers have been running Yangzhou for several years, all of them are his henchmen, whether the assassination can be successful, and see Jiangbei as a buffer to delay the southern rebels to go north, so that we can conquer Wuchang and pacify Sichuan." ”
Zhao Bingjun turned his head and said with a smile: "Does the Prime Minister mean to follow the example of Mongolia when it went south, first conquered Sichuan, and then conquered Yunnan, Guizhou and other places, outflanked the rebel party, and then gathered and annihilated it?" ”
"Exactly." Yuan Shikai said, "So leaving the Jiangbei Army just enough to paralyze Sun Wen's rebellion against the party, and Sun Wen's rebellion within the party struggle is endless, if we are in a hurry, they can unite as one, if we force it slowly, they themselves will fight for power and profit first." ”
"Tall, tall!" Zhao Bingjun stretched out his thumb again and again.
Yuan Shikai asked, "Where is Zhang Jian now?" ”
"It's already in Yangzhou." Zhao Bingjun said, "Will the conditions for winning over the Jiangbei Army be changed?" Giving them the establishment of four towns is really ...... It makes me feel unfair all over the Beiyang. ”
Yuan Shikai said with a smile: "Do you have the same hatred for his Jiangbei Army?" ”
"Don't dare to hide it from Yuan Gong, it's true." Zhao Bingjun said.
Yuan Shikai said: "Only you dare to tell me the truth, if I ask Wang Shizhen, he will definitely not say that the generals are dissatisfied." Alas......" He was silent for a while, and then said, "I am also a ploy." ”
"Strategy?"
"yes." Yuan Shikai smiled bitterly, "With Wang Yongan's Jiangbei Army being envied, wouldn't it make my Beiyang Army unite and hate the enemy?" ”
"What do you mean...... Did you deliberately let Wang Yongan be the target? Zhao Bingjun was surprised, "So that the staff department and the officer department of my Beiyang Army can unite?" ”
"Exactly." Yuan Shikai said thoughtfully.
