Chapter 568: There may be a mutiny
After breakfast, Yang Du took Liang Dunyan and Zhou Ziqi to visit Wang Yongan, Yang Du and Wang Yongan are old friends, and Zhou Ziqi and Wang Yongan also have a relationship, but Liang Dunyan is the first time to meet. The purpose www.biquge.info of their visit is very simple, because Wang Yongan's attitude will affect their future when a cabinet government is formed in the future, and they do not expect Wang Yongan to support them, but they do not want Wang Yongan to vote against them when they compete in the future.
Zhou Ziqi had a bad reputation in later generations because he was one of the main supporters of Yuan Shikai's claim to be emperor, but in fact he did a lot of good things for the country and the people, such as breaking foreign threats, supporting the gentry of Hunan, Hubei and Guangdong provinces to raise their own funds to build the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway, when he served as the consul of the Qing Dynasty in New York, he lobbied the United States Congress to return the Gengzi indemnity to China for running schools and supporting the tuition fees for studying in the United States, and finally established the Tsinghua School, which was later Tsinghua University with his strong support. (The two major contributors to the establishment of Tsinghua University were Liang Cheng and Zhou Ziqi, but because Zhou Ziqi supported the emperor, his credit was artificially covered up in later generations, which shows that politics is everywhere.) Later, Zhou Ziqi was responsible for the selection of students studying in the United States, adhered to the principle of double evaluation of academic literature and character, and selected Hu Shi (philosopher, literary scholar), Zhao Yuanren (linguist, proficient in 33 languages, and a physicist and mathematician at the same time), Zhu Kezhen (meteorologist), Mei Yiqi (president of Tsinghua University, founded Tsinghua University in Taiwan 49 years later), Hu Gangfu (physicist), Zhang Zigao (chemist), Jin Yuelin (philosopher) and a large number of talents.
Wang Yongan once saw Zhou Ziqi in Yuan's mansion, which time was his wedding with Yuan Nianzhen, but he didn't have a deep impression when he saw it in a hurry, but Wang Yongan still admired Zhou Ziqi very much, at least although this person did a mediocre thing when he was old, he selected hundreds of outstanding geniuses for China. Wang Yongan also learned a lesson from Zhou Ziqi, that is, history is the beautiful shot of future generations, which can be modified at will.
Although Liang Dunyan is a native of Shunde, Guangdong, he is the same as Tang Shaoyi, and after returning to China, he was naturally absorbed into the team of the Beiyang Department, and successively served as Hanyang Customs Road, Tianjin Customs Road, the right waiter of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Minister of Taxation. The first thing Liang Dunyan did as an adviser to the Bide Yuan was to help the regent Zaifeng pacify the local protests caused by the imperial cabinet, and the first suggestion Liang Dunyan made was to summon Yuan Shikai into Beijing. Therefore, after Yuan Shikai became the prime minister of the cabinet, although Liang Dunyan was temporarily retained as the adviser minister of the Bide Yuan, he had promised that he would definitely be of other importance in the future.
And today Yang Du brought Liang Dunyan here, also because Yang Du is now also serving in the Bide Academy, it is said that Liang Dunyan will change positions in the future, and Yang Du will be the next advisor to the Bide Academy. Yang Du knew that Liang Dunyan would not have any conflict of interest with him, so he had a very good relationship with him, and this time he took the initiative to take Liang Dunyan to visit Wang Yongan.
The three of them tested Wang Yongan's tone, but Wang Yongan didn't reveal it at all, just reminisced about the old days and asked them about the Jingshi. Instead of saying anything, these three people were tricked out by Wang Yongan and told a lot of news about the Beijing Division. The morning time passed in a hurry, Wang Yongan was about to have lunch with everyone, and suddenly Bai Dequan came to report that Feng Guozhang, Duan Qirui, Cao Kun and other Beiyang soldiers went to the Prime Minister's Palace, and they didn't know what to do.
The situation became tense all of a sudden, are the Beiyang soldiers going to do something to them, don't they support the merger of the Jiangbei Army and Beiyang, Yang Du and the others' faces turned white all of a sudden, I don't know what to say, they were friends just now, and they are going to become enemies in the blink of an eye?
Wang Yongan got up and said, "Brother Huizi, Lord Liang, Lord Zhou, you go first, maybe wait for a while, this will be a river of blood." ”
Yang Du couldn't help but say: "You immediately go to the foreign embassy to seek seclusion now, if they come by force, don't dare to attack the foreign embassy." ”
Zhou Ziqi also said: "I have an old relationship with the US ambassador, and I will take you to the US embassy." ”
Wang Yongan waved his hand lightly, and said with a flat expression: "No need, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, I, Wang Yongan, will not let foreigners protect my safety in my life, if they want the country to be in turmoil, they will come and kill me directly." My Jiangbei Army will naturally avenge me. ”
"No, we must not do anything to Wang Jingyun, we have to persuade the prime minister to go." Liang Dunyan said immediately, the three of them looked at each other, and immediately hurriedly said goodbye.
The news that the Beiyang soldiers gathered in the Prime Minister's Office without authorization soon spread all over the Jingshi City, and everyone was nervous, and many people in the Jingshi Hotel had doubts about Wang Yongan's safety, and Huo Diange gave an order, more than 300 elite soldiers of the Jiangbei Army armed with weapons entered the Jingshi Hotel, and more than 600 people occupied the buildings around the Jingshi Hotel, turning this place into a battlefield.
The elite soldiers of the Jiangbei Army all crawled out of the pile of dead people, and they were very experienced in combat, so that they did lose their strengths to protect Wang Yongan, and let them turn this place into a battlefield to kill people, but let them play their strengths.
More than 200 French soldiers immediately surrounded the Jingshi Hotel, and in the name of seizing the weapons of the Jiangbei Army soldiers who rashly entered the Jingshi Hotel, in fact, to protect Wang Yongan's safety, they pointed their guns outward, and immediately built a lot of temporary sand castles.
French Ambassador to China Marsley is a very sensitive person, if Wang Yongan really has an accident, the G-4 will make a vain noise that the Japanese and the Chinese will fight, what they need is a weak China, not a war-torn China, and since they have achieved their goals, they will begin to safeguard their own interests. And then the G4 has a more ambitious plan, to acquire the Industrial Bank of China, so that the Industrial Bank of China will become a money-making bank for foreigners. This is also the real reason why when the Bank of China encountered a credit crisis, the Bank of the Four Nations did not take action, because they saw the potential of the Bank and its ability, and if they ate it, it would be more in the interests of foreigners than to force it to death.
Ma Shili and Wang Yongan sat together in the restaurant on the second floor and had lunch, Ma Shili said: "Dear general, I assure you that you will definitely not be threatened in any way on the territory of the French. ”
Wang Yongan smiled bitterly, it was really too ironic, Jingshi has become the territory of the French, and he is in Beijing, but he has to be protected by the French, it is really a weak country without diplomacy.
