In contrast to Yuan Shikai's fear, the Northern Revolutionary Party was elated, and the Beijing-Tianjin Revolutionary Party sent Chen Zhiji, Wang Baozhen and others to Luanzhou, urging Zhang Shaozeng to hold high the banner of righteousness and go straight to Beijing; The Revolutionary Party in Northeast China also sent Shang Zhen, Li Dehu and other representatives to Luanzhou to lobby and instigate a rebellion, and strongly persuaded Zhang Shaozeng to sweep away the Manchu Qing Dynasty, restore the Han Dynasty, organize a republic, and establish the Republic of China.

The Zhili Consultative Bureau (the capital of Zhili Province is Jinmen) immediately convened the Zhili Provincial Council and sent Sun Hongyi to secretly inform Zhang Shaozeng, saying: "If the Twenty Towns declare an uprising, Jinmen can organize the establishment of the Zhili Military Government, prepare military salaries for the generals, and supply them on time." Even the Zhili Consultative Bureau has secretly discussed with the consuls of various countries in Tianjin that if Zhang Shaozeng revolts, Tianjin will become the base camp of the anti-Qing rebellion in the north, and ensure the security and interests of all countries in a timely manner.

At the same time, Yan Xishan declared an uprising in Shanxi, and the imperial court sent Wu Luzhen, the commander of the sixth town of the Beiyang Army, to lead the Twelfth Association to Shanxi to quell the rebellion, and Yuan Shikai appointed Wu Luzhen as the governor of Shanxi, trying to control Shanxi by bribing Wu Luzhen. However, Yuan Shikai took every precaution, but he did not expect that Wu Luzhen, who was armed with heavy troops, Zhang Shaozeng, the commander of the 20th Town, and Lan Tianwei, who was stationed in Fengtianbeiying, who was in charge of the Second Mixed Association, privately reached an anti-Qing decision and was determined to overthrow the rule of the Manchu government.

After Wu Luzhen hurriedly led the Twelfth Association to Shijiazhuang, he suddenly announced that he had telegraphed to support Zhang Shaozeng, demanding a republic, and even more radically than Zhang Shaozeng to demand the abdication of the Qing Emperor. Zhang Shao once met with Yan Xishan, the leader of the Shanxi Revolutionary Army, at Niangzi Pass, and decided to form a Yan-Jin coalition army to force the palace to Beijing.

Lan Tianwei also took the opportunity to support Zhang Shaozeng and Wu Luzhen's decision in Fengtian, led the crowd to raise the banner of revolution, shouted Long live the republic, and announced the establishment of the Guanwai Military Government, appointed himself as the governor of the Guanwai Military Government, and began to plot to expel the Northeast Governor Zhao Erxun.

The flames of the revolution in the north burned all at once, almost fainting Yuan Shikai, and what made Yuan Shikai even more anxious was that Zhao Bingjun reported to him that Zhang Shao had secretly telegraphed Wang Yongan, hoping that Wang Yongan could hold high the banner of righteousness and revolutionize with Zhang Wu Lanyan's northern revolutionary army.

"This ...... This...... This ...... "Yuan Shikai only felt that his scalp was numb, he was naturally very worried about the Jiangbei Army, after all, although the Jiangbei Army was all newly formed brigades, but the new brigades of the Jiangbei Army were different from the brigades of the Beiyang Army, the main force of the Beiyang Army was only 12,000 people in one town, and the main force brigade was only 5,000 people, and the Jiangbei Army was subject to the constraints of the imperial court, and the three-three system was implemented, and a brigade of 13,000 people was more than the number of people in the main town of the Beiyang Army. Now the Jiangbei Army is known as the Jiangbei Ninth Brigade, plus the police force and the Jiangbei local regimental training, the total number of people is at least 150,000, if they join the revolutionary party, the consequences will be unimaginable!

"What to do? War Department, is there any way not to do so? Yuan Shikai shouted anxiously, thinking that the whole country was in his own hands, after the revolution in the north burned, Yuan Shikai suddenly found that he had lost control of the situation, of course, this was not enough to make him lose his mind, after all, compared to now, the most difficult days of "foot disease" have long passed.

Xu Shichang, Duan Qirui, Zhang Yilu, Yang Du, Wang Shizhen, Zhao Bingjun, Yan Xiu, Yang Shiqi, Shen Jiaben, Zhang Jian and others looked at each other, and they all lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at Yuan Shikai, they also had a headache, only the Minister of the Navy Sa Zhenbing didn't know what he was thinking, and when he was a person, the Admiralty didn't play a role in this.

"Master Zhang Jian, didn't you swear that Wang Yongan would go north to accept the privy envoy?" Yuan Shikai shouted.

Zhang Jian smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying in his heart that he was also swept away by Wang Yongan, how to answer Yuan Shikai, where to put his old face.

Yuan Shikai knew that it would be useless to ask him, his son-in-law did not play cards according to common sense, he was Zhuge Liang back then, but now he has become Sima Yi, and he knew that he should not be allowed to control military power. He suddenly slapped the table and said, "Chief Duan, what's the matter with Wu Luzhen?" The Twelfth Association of the Sixth Town is your old army, why did you let him rebel with him? ”

Duan Qirui immediately said: "The subordinates will definitely deal with this matter, except for Wu Luzhen in the sixth town, there are people from our Beiyang up and down, I don't think anyone will support him." ”

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, but what about Zhang Shaozeng? What about Blue Sky? What about Yan Xishan? Yuan Shikai asked like a cannon.

Seeing this, Wang Shizhen smiled and said: "Lan Tianwei is in the northeast to make trouble, I'm afraid I have found the wrong place, the northeast is the hometown of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it is unpopular to launch an anti-Qing rebellion in the northeast and expel Lan Tianwei, but it can be completely handed over to Zhao Erxun." I heard that there is an officer named Zhang Zuolin in Fengtian, and the Fengtian patrol battalion is loyal to Zhao Erxun and can pacify Lan Tianwei. ”

"Send electricity to Zhao Erxun and let him deal with it." Yuan Shikai said.

Wang Shizhen said again: "As for Zhang Shaozeng, there are some complications, his subordinates suggested dividing his subordinates, Zhang Shaozeng has a tough personality and likes to engage in Yiyantang, when he was training in the Northeast, he was arbitrary, maybe we can divide his subordinates." In addition, I heard that Zhang Shao had trained soldiers and was not afraid of offending people, and the officers were able to appease the emotions of the soldiers and officers thanks to the coordination of Pan Yuying, the commander of the twentieth town, if we win over Pan Yuying, do you see if it is ......"

Yuan Shikai was overjoyed and said, "Okay, this matter is handed over to you, Pingqing." Yuan Shikai said happily: "As long as Zhang Wulan and the three of them are calm, Yan Xishan and the other bait clowns have nothing to worry about." He then looked at everyone and said, "But how will the Jiangbei Army deal with it?" ”

Definitely, when it comes to the Jiangbei Army, everyone's heads have been lowered, unlike the Northern Revolutionary Army, although the Jiangbei Army belongs to the branch of the Beiyang Army, the Jiangbei Army has its own unique growth experience and system, and even Yuan Shikai can't interfere in the internal arrangements of the Jiangbei Army, because the financial and logistical supplies of the Jiangbei Army do not rely on the War Department of the Beijing Division to allocate funds, and people's own money is enough to support the 150,000 army.

Zhang Jian saw that everyone was silent, as a native of Jiangsu, he could only stand up and say with a wry smile: "It seems that I still need to go to Yangzhou, and I will meet Wang Jingyun for a while." ”

Yuan Shikai suddenly said: "Tell him that the War Department will give him the establishment of four towns, so that he can guard Jiangbei with peace of mind, since he is so willing to defend Jiangbei." ”

"Four towns!" Everyone was surprised, if the establishment of the four towns was sent down, according to the style of Jiangbei Yankee, it was estimated that the army would be expanded to 200,000 or even 300,000 people, everyone hurriedly dissuaded, Yuan Shikai smiled and said: "I can give him more establishment, I'm afraid he doesn't want to, if he is willing to guard Jiangbei, then let him stay there, I don't want to touch him, and he doesn't mess with his mind." This little Zhuge ah, who knows what his mind is. ”

Wang Yongan, who became a thorn in Yuan Shikai's heart, also frowned tightly after receiving Zhang Shaozeng's telegram, scratched his head and said: "I have no friendship with this cannon, and I have no friendship, is he crazy?" ”
