After listening to Duan Qirui's words, Yuan Shikai didn't make much movement, he just moved his eyebrows.

Yang Du understood that this was Yuan Shikai suppressing the excitement in his heart, he was too familiar with this action, and when he heard that Sun Yat-sen had set up a campaign against Yuan Jun, Yuan Shikai also moved his eyebrows. As a coach who doesn't like to be shapely, moving his eyebrows is one of the few expressions of Yuan Shikai's emotions.

Yuan Gong was angry, but he was suppressing his emotions, Yang Du speculated.

Yuan Shikai didn't speak, and the others didn't dare to speak, one by one lowered their heads as if they were thinking about things, Yang Du shut up in real time and didn't dare to disturb Yuan Shikai thinking about the problem, Duan Qirui also knew that it was too much to stop, especially Wang Yongan had just helped Yuan Shikai, he just needed to point a little, and he couldn't say bad things about Wang Yongan, otherwise it would be counterproductive.

After a while, Yuan Shikai suddenly asked, "How is Xiong Kewu in Sichuan?" This Sichuan baby is very capable of making trouble, what kind of Sichuan independent government is established in Chongqing, hahaha......"

"Report to the president, the army of Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou is besieging Chongqing, and the rebels of Xiong Kewu's army are about to be defeated in a few days. Among them, Tang Jiyao, the overseer of Guizhou, led 5,000 Guizhou troops to approach Chongqing, and his forward troops had already arrived in Ba County, which was only 30 miles away from Chongqing. However, the Yunnan overseer Cai Yi's Yunnan army was relatively slow to advance, and he reported that because the main rebel force was stationed in Luxian, the Dian army intended to make a detour to Zigong, so when it set out from Kunming, it planned to pass through the Daliangshan area of Xikang Province. A few days ago, when the soldiers of the Yunnan army passed through Daliang Mountain, they disturbed the people at night, and a Yi girl committed suicide after being **. The Yi people first reported to the Tusi, and then the Tusi reported to the magistrate, who in turn reported to the Xikang Governor's Military Office, and the Kangdu Wang Yongan ordered the Dian army to stop marching, rectify military discipline and compensate the local Yi people, so the Dian army was suspended for three days. Duan Qirui said lightly, he raised his head and looked at Yuan Shikai's face, he couldn't see what Yuan Shikai meant, and then continued: "The Sichuan army and Xiong Kewu's rebels have been fighting in Suining for seven days, and Hu Jingyi reported that the rebels are already difficult to support, and Suining will be conquered in a few days. After conquering Suining, Chongqing was only in sight. ”

Yuan Shikai nodded, very satisfied with the progress of the counterinsurgency in Sichuan, Xiong Kewu was just a clown, but through this counterinsurgency, he saw that the overseers were very loyal to him, even Wang Yongan, who made him upset, also expressed his "loyalty" to himself at the first time.

Yuan Shikai looked at everyone and said: "The mess in the southwest region is not important, the most important thing for us now is to conquer Nanjing, only after Nanjing is conquered, will all the places be scattered." ”

"Yes, the subordinates also mean this, beating snakes and hitting seven inches, beating dogs and beating dogs." Duan Qirui joked.

Qu Tongfeng took the opportunity to say: "The southerners are all grass on the wall, as long as Nanjing is conquered, those people will immediately fall to us, president, you just wait for them to send a telegram to cancel independence." ”

Yuan Shikai laughed and said: "Actually, in this counterinsurgency, Wang Yongan performed well, especially the treason wanted warrant issued by the Xikang Provincial Grand Court, I think it is very good, which puts us on the moral high ground." And what is the name of that justice, Wei Daofeng, I heard that he is only twenty-seven years old, very young, and there will be a chance for him to be a justice in the central government in the future. ”

Everyone laughed, and Yang Du said: "It's good, it's just that they shouldn't send a wanted warrant!" Our central government is not without courts. ”

Yuan Shikai asked, "But have we thought of it?" Which of you has thought of using the law to stand on the moral high ground? ”

The others hurriedly shook their heads, we Beiyang are many soldiers, and the first thing everyone thinks of is to use a gun to quell the rebellion, where would they think of opening a court trial. Yang Du also paused for a moment, then shook his head with a smile and said, "The big guy really didn't think of doing this, I think this trick can only be used by this little Zhuge ." ”

"Yes, only he can use it......" Yuan Shikai was about to speak, when he suddenly felt a lot of pain in his lower back, and hurriedly asked people to call the doctor. Everyone panicked, don't fall ill at this time, Yuan Shikai immediately asked people to block the news, and they couldn't let anyone know the news of their illness, especially not to let the soldiers on the front line know, and everyone said that they would do it one after another.

Now the national defense forces of the central government have won successive battles against the rebels, and the rebels have retreated to the city of Nanjing, but they did not expect that Lao Yuan's health is getting worse and worse. In fact, Lao Yuan's body has been showing symptoms since last year, but firstly, Lao Yuan is a person with a strong personality, and secondly, he is also a bold person. So he endured minor illnesses and pains, but it was precisely because he didn't pay attention to minor problems that his body had deteriorated today.

When Feng Guozhang's army attacked Nanjing, Tang Jiyao's Guizhou army occupied Chongqing in only one day, and Dan Maoxin, deputy chief of general staff of the Sichuan Yuan army, was responsible for guarding Chongqing, but he only had more than 1,000 available soldiers and 2,000 wounded soldiers in his hands, and there was a great shortage of weapons and ammunition. Knowing that he was invincible, Mao Xin chose to lead his army out of Chongqing, and then he announced the disbandment of the army.

After hearing the news, the Sichuan army fighting against Yuan in Sichuan suddenly fell in morale, or was killed or fled, and the Sichuan army against Yuan quickly collapsed, and the battle of Sichuan against Yuan failed.

Xiong Kewu, the commander of the Yuan army in Sichuan, fled under the alias of Chen Yifeng into the mountains of northern Guizhou, and after several journeys to Hankou, Hubei, and then fled down the river to Shanghai by boat, and then fled to Tokyo, Japan. Liu Zhifan, chief of the General Staff, Dan Maoxin, deputy chief of the General Staff, and Yang Shukan, chief of civil affairs, also went to Japan several times. The senior generals of the Yuan Army are all from the Japanese Army Noncommissioned Officer School, and the Japanese government has always protected those who oppose the Chinese government, whether they are anti-Qing, anti-Beiyang, anti-Republic of China, or even anti-republic in later generations, as long as they can make China's legitimate central government uncomfortable, they are all friends of Japan, and as long as they make the Chinese people feel disgusted, they are all the objects of Japanese wooing.

However, more than 2,000 troops led by Li Weiru, military chief of the Sichuan Yuan Army, Yu Peidi, commander of the First Division, Zhang Chong, chief of logistics, and Long Guang, commander of the first detachment, came to Xikang, and were disarmed and taken to Kangding City, where they were received by Wang Yongan. Wang Yongan demanded that Li Weiru and others surrender to him and declare an uprising, so that he could protect their lives and be exempted from treason. Li Weiru and others had no choice but to surrender to Wang Yongan and declared their righteous anger to join the National Defense Army, and then the Xikang Provincial Supreme Court pardoned the wanted warrants for Li Weiru, Yu Peidi, Zhang Chong, Long Guang and others.
