After the haunting of Yangzhou City was rendered by the people, it was rumored to be even more powerful, which naturally included Wang Yongan's clamour, and his Liu Tong and the group of little beggars were even more credited, don't underestimate those half-sized children, they made rumors, and others didn't believe it was fake.

"The 300,000 Yin soldiers and Yin generals are all unjust souls killed when Duoduo Yangzhou slaughtered the city, and now they have been released."

"Huh? Who put it out? ”

"Who else can it be, the imperial court, originally the Empress Dowager Cixi asked Wang Yan to guard Yangzhou, just to suppress these unjust souls, but the regent of Laoshizi had to transfer Wang Yongtai. Yangzhou has no Wang Yongtai, the little ghosts ran out, don't you see those Yangzhou people, don't you even want a home? ”

"How can this be?"

"Go to Nanjing, go and ask the governor of Liangjiang, Zhang Renjun, Lord Zhang, and beg him to leave King Wang Yan behind."

Although there are only tens of thousands of people, the impact is very huge, and it can even be said that the entire Jiangnan region has been infected by the "yin wind", some people say that hundreds of thousands of people fled to Nanjing, and some people even say that it was the Ming Dynasty Yin soldiers who were slaughtered in Yangzhou City when the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs when they were resurrected, looking for the Manchu settlement.

Someone turned over the old accounts of the previous dynasty and said that Duoduo slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people within a radius of 20 miles from Yangzhou back then, and forced the people of Nanming to jump into the Yangtze River. There are also people who rummage through boxes and cabinets, and I don't know where to get a copy of "Yangzhou Ten Diaries", and there is evidence for this rumor, so this Jiangnan is even more lively.

Gossip and telegrams from the prefect of Zhenjiang soon reached the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion in Nanjing, and the new Governor of Liangjiang, Zhang Renjun, shouted with a spy message: "Ridiculous! Ridiculous! How can this be justified, how can this be justified! ”

Staff member Yuan Zhaofu got up on the side and said: "My lord, it sounds very strange at this time, but the students have some doubts, has the world really seen ghosts and gods?" ”

"I've never seen it." Zhang Renjun said.

Zhang Xun, the military general standing at the bottom, immediately got up and said loudly: "My lord, let me lead the troops to meet that Yin soldier Yin general, I don't believe it, what a fucking Yin soldier Yin general, when he sees my old Zhang, they all become dead ghosts one by one." ”

Zhang Renjun waved his hand and said, "This matter is strange, how can such gossip appear?" ”

Zhang Xun said: "Most of the ghosts made by Wang Yongtai himself, hum, he just wants to be his soil king in Yangzhou, and he doesn't want to go to Jinan to be his deputy." ”

Yuan Zhaofu said: "Most of the students agree with General Zhang's statement, but this Wang Yongtai doesn't seem to have this kind of plan in the past, and this plan is too pediatric, and if you don't make trouble, you will lose your head." ”

Zhang Renjun nodded and said, "I have seen that Wang Yongtai, although he is very sleek and scheming, most of them will not use this kind of conspiracy." ”

Yuan Zhaofu said: "My lord, the biggest problem now is not who used the tricks, but the hundreds of thousands of refugees who flocked to this Nanjing city...... You see, how to deal with this? ”

When Zhang Renjun thought of this, he felt a big headache, and the people of Yangzhou were frightened, and ran to Nanjing regardless of it.

Zhang Xun couldn't help but say angrily on the side: "This Wang Yongtai, but I don't want him to be so able to toss, he dug the Cao Gang with the front foot, and made a ghost come out for me with the back foot." ”

Yuan Zhaofu said: "General Zhang, it's not certain whether Wang Yongtai did it, but he is the most likely." ”

Zhang Xun arched his hand and said, "My lord, I'll go and arrest him and let him deal with him." ”

Zhang Renjun waved his hand and said: "That's not necessary, Zaifeng is not a fool, I think the court has its own people who understand." But for now...... The current public opinion is embarrassing. ”

When Zhang Renjun was feeling a big headache, suddenly Yangzhou Salt Transportation Division Salt Transport Envoy Thickened and sent a telegram for help, and the revolutionary party took advantage of the chaos in Yangzhou City and the transfer of Wang Yongtai, Wang Yanwang, and suddenly launched a rebellion, occupied the Yangzhou prefect, and declared Yangzhou City independent from the Qing Dynasty.

"Huh?" Zhang Renjun was stunned and said, "This ...... This...... How did this chaotic party come about? ”

Zhang Xun was also surprised: "Why did the chaotic party come out?" ”

Zhang Renjun frowned, and suddenly said, "Could it be that our speculation just now was wrong?" This Yin soldier is not a ghost made by Wang Yongtai, but a ghost made by the chaotic party? ”

Yuan Zhaofu immediately followed his words: "That Sun Cannon likes to pretend to be a ghost the most, they are chaotic and clamor for rebellion in various places, I guess it must be the chaotic party that first used the Yin soldiers to disturb the hearts of the people in Yangzhou, and then launched a rebellion to take Yangzhou in one fell swoop." ”

"Report!" A soldier quickly sent a telegram and said, "Urgent telegram." The Yangzhou rebels broke through Jiangdu County and killed Jiangdu County to order 18 members of the family. ”

"What about the Salt Transport Division? And what about the Dingzi Camp? And what about the new army? Zhang Renjun asked hurriedly.

"The new army has no leader, some officers and soldiers of the Dingzi battalion participated in the rebellion, and some retreated to the salt transportation division to fight desperately, the telegram was sent by the new army, they also said that the new army 24 mixed into a concord people are panicking, some people say that the court unloads the mill and kills the donkey, it is better to rebel with the revolutionary party, fortunately, some officers said that they will wait for General Wang to come back before they can tentatively calm the hearts of the people, but if it is a long time, it is difficult to protect the ......"

"Report!" Another soldier came running quickly and said, "Your Excellency Governor, the revolutionary party and the revolutionary party launched a rebellion in Guangzhou in the early hours of yesterday morning, and some soldiers of the New Army participated, and they are besieging the yamen of Guangzhou Mansion at this moment. ”

Zhang Renjun shook his head and said: "One south and one north, almost at the same time to launch a rebellion, this revolutionary party is so calculating, it is really calculating, even the ghosts and gods are used, it is really worthy of Mr. Sun." ”

Zhang Xun said: "My lord, let me lead the troops to Yangzhou, we can't control the affairs of Guangzhou, but I will definitely be able to take this Yangzhou in one fell swoop." ”

Zhang Renjun closed his eyes and thought for a while, and said: "If you take the troops to go, the new army will be chaotic, inappropriate, inappropriate." He turned his head to the telegraph soldier and said: "Send a telegram to the imperial court, and now the revolutionary party has launched a rebellion in the south and the north at the same time, which is really a long-planned measure, and Yangzhou is not Wang Yongtai can not defend it." If he leaves, the New Army will be afraid of joining the rebellious party, and Nanjing and Shanghai will be in danger at that time. ”

"Yes."

Snowflake-like telegrams were sent from all over the south of the Yangtze River to the military aircraft department in the capital, and the military aircraft ministers were dumbfounded, what Yin soldiers and Yin generals were making trouble in Yangzhou, what 300,000 disaster victims poured into Nanjing, what 300,000 unjust ghosts destroyed the Qing Dynasty, what revolutionary party Yangzhou uprising, what revolutionary party Guangzhou uprising, and the military aircraft department was busy for a while.

The twenty-six-year-old regent Zaifeng panicked all of a sudden, and he hurriedly asked the Minister of Military Aircraft and the Ministry of War Shangshu Yixuan for instructions, but he didn't expect Yixuan to see that the situation was not good, and declared that he was sick and could not see guests, so angry that Zaifeng said angrily: "At the beginning, you had to transfer Wang Yongtai, but now Wang Yongtai is gone, and the revolutionary party has taken advantage of the chaos to make trouble, but now it doesn't care about anything!" After saying that, the civil and military forces of the court were still waiting for him to speak, so he had to return to the military aircraft in a stupid manner, saw a group of ministers, and said, "Everyone, what suggestions do you have?" Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to speak, Zaifeng was furious, but when he saw that Xu Shichang was on the side, he couldn't help but be furious: "Xu Shangshu, tell me, what good ideas do you have?" ”

Xu Shichang hurriedly said: "Me? ”

"Yes, Xu Shangshu, you won't be that Xu Shu, right? is in Cao Ying's heart in Han, and when he enters Cao Ying, he doesn't say a word, and he can't make a plan? Zaifeng sneered.

There is also a reason why Zaifeng is so targeted at Xu Shichang, this Xu Shichang is a native of Jinmen, but his great-grandfather and grandfather were officials in Henan Province, and he was born in Henan Province and grew up in Henan Province, so he is considered to be most of the people in Henan Province. This person lost his father when he was a child, worked as a copywriter for his uncle and grandfather at the age of seventeen, became a county governor at the age of twenty-four, and met Yuan Shikai at the age of twenty-six and became close friends with him. Xu Shichang went to Yingtianfu to take the exam, but Yuan Shikai funded it. Later, Xu Shichang entered the Hanlin Academy as an editor, and during his time in the Hanlin Academy, Xu Shichang was not like others who were based on being a small official of the county order and the governor, thinking about what to do in three years to clear the prefect's 100,000 snowflakes of silver, but to make friends up and down and dredge the relationship.

Li Hongzhang supervised the training of the new army, and Xu Shichang immediately recommended Yuan Shikai to Li Hongzhang, and after inspecting Yuan Shikai for a period of time, Li Hongzhang ordered Yuan Shikai to follow the example of Western countries to train a modern army at the small station in Jinmen, and called it the Beiyang New Army. With the gradual completion of the Beiyang New Army, Yuan Shikai asked Xu Shichang to serve as the general office of the New Army's staff officer and military affairs and battalion office.

After that, Xu Shichang and Yuan Shikai relationship closer, in 1900, the Eight-Nation Coalition Army into the capital, Cixi Guangxu fled westward, Xu Shichang escorted all the way, won the trust of Cixi, and then Xu Shichang and Yuan Shikai helped each other, step by step, until Xu Shichang entered the military department, and was appointed by Cixi as the first governor of the three eastern provinces.

Later, Cixi died of illness, Guangxu also died, Zaifeng took power, and wanted to kill Yuan Shikai, but fortunately, Yixuan and Zhang Zhidong saved Yuan Shikai. And Xu Shichang knew that he and Yuan Shikai were grasshoppers on a rope, so he hurriedly resigned as the governor of the three eastern provinces. Under the help of Yixuan and others, Xu Shichang returned to the capital as the Minister of Posts and Communications, and was still the Minister of Military Aircraft, but he was the last member of the Military Aircraft Department, and he did not need to make any statement at all, and he knew that he would not be notified of major decisions.

Xu Shichang knew that Zaifeng hated himself, so he didn't talk on weekdays, but at this time, Zaifeng suddenly asked him to make a statement, which surprised him, and even compared Xu Shu to himself, how could he not let him panic, and hurriedly said: "Regent, Xiaguan...... Xiaguan ...... The lower officials really don't know whether to talk about it or not. ”

"What should be said or not, it's all at this juncture, what are you still talking about (the meaning of sloppy eyes), do you think that everyone treats you badly on weekdays, and you don't want to tell everyone?" Zaifeng said in a strange manner.

Xu Shichang hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, the lower official said this, this matter can be big or big, and small or small." ”
