"Is it tolerable or unbearable!"

In the war room of the Anhui Military Advisory Office, Chai Dongliang stared at him with round eyes and roared: "It's the third time, this is the third provocation of the Gan army!" ”

"Li Liejun really used our Jianghuai Army as mud and paper paste? The tiger is not powerful, he is a sick cat! Lu Kai said coldly with a pencil in his hand.

He Tianshou slapped the table with one arm and shouted: "To deal with those bastards who don't know whether to live or die, I will just say one word - fight!" ”

Secretary-General Gao Ming smiled bitterly and said: "Think twice, Li Liejun is Mr. Sun's sweetheart, and beating him is afraid that it will be embarrassing to Mr. Sun!" In any case, this is an internal problem of the Southern Army, it is really a big fight, I am afraid that the relatives and enemies will be happy, don't let Beiyang pick up the cheap! ”

Lu Kai sneered: "Secretary-General, I don't like to hear what you say, who is the pro?" Who are the enemies? The governor has repeatedly taught us that the army is the iron fist of the people, and all the thieves who are remnants of the people are the enemies of our Jianghuai army, and they are the enemies of the Jianghuai army??? Since Li Liejun supervised Jiangxi, all industries have been depressed and the people have been bored, and Jiangxi has almost become a ghost. The people's livelihood is withering, and they don't know how to rescue but set up roadblocks, and don't allow the victims to go out of the province to beg for food, is there still a little bit of people's hearts? People like Li Liejun have lost the face of our Southern Army, and I believe that Mr. Sun and Huang Keqiang will not shield him! What's more, the Jiangxi army has repeatedly provoked us, when I shot and killed a group of soldiers to maintain order in Nanjing, Huang Huanzhang, the general of the Jiangxi army, led the troops to attack Anqing, we have not caught the culprit so far, this time the Jiangxi army slaughtered the refugees who fled to Jiujiang, but one can not be three, if our side repeatedly shows weakness, the military will also be unstable, and the people of Huai and Jiangxi provinces will inevitably leave our Jianghuai army and leave Germany, the soldiers are still in fire, and they will not fight [***]! ”

Wu Jintang, who had not been silent, suddenly stood up: "Governor, if you send troops to Jiangxi, our Anhui Chamber of Commerce will cover all the military expenses, is one million enough?" If it's not enough, we'll raise it for you! The army is dispatched, if there is a shortage of food and salary supplies, you ask me! ”

Hearing him speak, the generals were immediately overjoyed, fighting is money and food, and someone who is willing to take the initiative to serve is naturally a little more sure!

Chai Dongliang has always listened to the opinions of his subordinates first when he holds meetings, and it is likely that a casual word from others can inspire him, and it is rare to set the tone first like today, Wu Jintang is too familiar with his style, and knows that he must have a plan in his heart, so he immediately went all out to echo and deliberately maintain consistency with him.

The Wu family is already inseparable from Chai Dongliang's Anhui Military Advisory Office, and they have both glory and loss, and they have long been tied to his chariot!

For a while, there was a shouting and fighting in the war room, and Gao Ming repeatedly persuaded hard: "If we fight Jiangxi, it is very likely to cause a big war between us and several governors of the Kuomintang, and the elections for the Senate and the House of Representatives are imminent, and it is extremely unfavorable for us to start a war at this sensitive time." ”

As soon as his words fell, there was a voice of opposition, and the agitation of one person's voice was drowned out by countless louder voices.

Everyone quarreled for a long time, and suddenly there was silence at the same time, as if a group of chirping sparrows did not know when they would shut up at the same time.

Gao Chuguan, who had been drinking tea with a smile on his face, suddenly spoke: "Can I say a few words?" ”

Gao Chuguan was originally Li Yuanhong's confidant, but because he couldn't get used to his indiscriminate killing of the first righteous heroes, he left Wuchang and defected to Chai Dongliang, and now serves as a senior secretary of the Military Advisory Office.

Chai Dongliang knew that Gao Chuguan was a person with a deep city, so he didn't speak easily, and once he spoke, he pointed straight to the point: "Please tell Mr. Yuan." ”

Gao Chuguan slowly took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and said with a smile: "Have you forgotten, our governor is the vice chairman of the Kuomintang, you can ask for a council meeting, and propose to expel Li Liejun from the party, the backbone of the Jiangxi army is a hardcore Kuomintang member, as long as he is no longer a director of the Kuomintang, he can no longer control Jiangxi, when the time comes, you rely on the dual identity of the Jianghuai patrol envoy and the vice chairman of the Kuomintang, no matter from the north and south, it is justifiable for you to send troops to Jiangxi Province, In this way, you can take down the entire Jiangxi without bloodshed??? Fight? That's the next step! ”

Chai Dongliang has long been eyeing Jiangxi, where tungsten ore is an essential raw material for smelting special alloys, but he has not been able to find an excuse to send troops, and this time the Jiangxi army shot the victims is a golden opportunity. After he heard Jiujiang's report, his first reaction was to send troops, and now he found that what Gao Chuguan said seemed to be more reasonable.

The vice chairman of the Kuomintang? Chai Dongliang thought for a long time before he remembered that he seemed to have such an identity, but he was not only the vice chairman of the Kuomintang, but also the director and vice chairman of other ** large and small parties. Initially, the League gave itself the title of director, but after it was recently reorganized into the Kuomintang, in order to win over 40 votes from the Anhui Provincial Deputies, he made himself a vice chairman. Anyway, the political party in this year is a mess, no matter who casually throws a party card to himself, he will publish an announcement in the newspaper, declaring that Chai Dongliang is a member of the party. Chai Dongliang has been "joined the party" ** times, but I didn't expect the title of vice chairman of the Kuomintang to come in handy, which can be regarded as an unexpected gain!

When Lu Kai and the others heard his words, their heads shook like rattles: "Impossible, Li Liejun is Mr. Sun's heart, and he is also a director of the Kuomintang, expelled from the party?" That's impossible! ”

"Mr. Xiang Yuan, your idea is worse than the old lady's footcloth!"

Chai Dongliang pressed down with his hands and made a silent gesture, and asked calmly: "Mr. Xiang Yuan, everyone's ideas are not unreasonable, are you a little too idealistic?" ”

Gao Chuguan laughed and said: "Don't forget, the governor will be the election of the Senate and the House of Representatives next month, as long as you publish Li Liejun's bad deeds in Jiangxi in the newspapers, and the whole world will know about it, in such a sensitive period, will the Kuomintang protect such a bad person?" What's more, the current Kuomintang is not Mr. Sun, but Song Dunchu! ”

Chai Dongliang suddenly realized that Song Jiaoren had been engaged in a political party, and his actual power in the Kuomintang had far surpassed that of Sun Wen, but he and Chai Dongliang had the same weakness, he was too young and not prestige enough, so people outside would think that Sun Wen was the leader of the Kuomintang. Song Jiaoren is a staunch supporter of the cabinet parliamentary system, and he is not very much a fan of Sun Wen and Yuan Shikai, and has always been a maverick. Moreover, as a politician, he has a spiritual purity and a somewhat self-righteous surname, and at the critical moment when the general election is imminent, he categorically cannot tolerate someone destroying the image of the Kuomintang and affecting the election results.

The Kuomintang board of directors has always been the only one who is the leader of the Song Sect, and as long as he is determined to expel Li Liejun, no one can change this result??? Sun Wen and Huang Xing can't do it!

Li Liejun was able to control the Jiangxi army because the middle and lower-level officers were all members of the Kuomintang, which is why he spared no effort to loot Jiangxi to meet the financial needs of Sun Wen and the Kuomintang. However, Song Jiaoren is not Sun Wen, he will not compromise for money, this person's temper Chai Dongliang understands it too well.

Chai Dongliang secretly sneered in his heart, a gentleman can be bullied, Song Jiaoren, I will eat you!

He slammed his hat on the table and yelled, "Okay, that's it!" Mu Chen, you are responsible for collecting information about Jiangxi, so that everyone knows the tragic situation of the people there??? Mr. Xiang Yuan is responsible for contacting the newspaper, and Chinese and foreigners must be notified?? Secretary-General Gao, in my name, you sent a telegram to the Central Party Department of the Kuomintang, requesting that a council be convened and Li Liejun expelled??? Political means must be backed by military force, Lu Kai, your second division is ready for battle and is ready to obey orders at any time??? Yinfu, this military expenditure is entrusted to your Anhui Chamber of Commerce! ”

Fang Qingyu, Gao Chuguan, Gao Ming, and Wu Jintang stood up at the same time, and Qi claimed to be.

There is another storm brewing in the land of Jianghuai!

???? Dividing line ????

Zhongnanhai Huairentang Yang Shiqi least like one thing is to accompany Yuan Shikai to eat, as a native of Anhui, he has always paid attention to not getting tired of eating, not tired of fine, Yuan Shikai's favorite tea eggs, big fat meat, he felt disgusting at a glance, each time at most is to move the chopsticks slightly, sandwich two chopsticks lighter vegetarian dishes.

Yuan Shikai was sweating profusely, breaking a big white steamed bun and sandwiching it into a piece of braised pork half an inch thick to eat, Zhao Bingjun on the side also accompanied Yuan Shikai to eat with a mouth full of oil, choked too violently, kept hiccups, drank two large cups of herbal tea before pressing down, and then ate a large piece of meat.

After Zhao Bingjun ate two steamed buns and four pieces of fat, he began to yawn, Yuan Shikai frowned, and said unceremoniously: "Zhi'an, you go back first." ”

"The gaffe of his duties made the president laugh! Then I'll go first, Mr. Xingcheng, you eat first! Zhao Bingjun's voice was as sharp as a knife scraping glass, which made people's hearts tense for a while.

Seeing Zhao Bingjun twisting the waist of the water snake and walking out of Huairentang, Yang Shiqi couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. He is very clear about Yuan Shikai's way of control, respecting but not being affectionate to talents, and being close but disrespectful to slaves. Liang Qichao and Yang Du are talents, Yuan Shikai respects them very much, but they are not allowed to participate in confidential matters, Zhao Bingjun is a minion, Yuan Shikai never pretends to him, but he can participate in secrets. There is only Yang Shiqi alone, and Yuan Shikai respects and loves him, both respectful and affectionate.

Yuan Shikai sighed and said: "Zhi'an followed Zuo Zongtang back in the year to calm the chaos, was buried by heavy snow for three days and three nights, injured his eggs and became a waste, and left a root of the disease, and he was in pain all over his body if he didn't smoke a lot??? He's a poor man, too! ”

Yang Shiqi smiled and didn't say anything more.

Yuan Shikai stuffed half of the steamed bun into his mouth, took the snow-white towel from his subordinate and wiped his mouth, and then said vaguely: "Have you read the newspaper?" Is this infighting in the south? While sending troops to Mongolia, he was also preparing to fight Jiangxi??? This Chai Dongliang's appetite is really not small, and he is not afraid of choking to death? ”

Yang Shiqi patted his head and smiled bitterly: "He exchanged the salt politics of Lianghuai for the false name of the Jianghuai patrol envoy, I'm afraid it's just for today??? The Jianghuai patrol envoy controls the military affairs of Huai and Jiangxi provinces, even if he wants to reorganize the Jiangxi army, it is a logical thing, if Li Liejun resists by force, it is a rebel army, Chai Dongliang uses this trick less often? The name of fighting Huang Huanzhang to capture Jiujiang is to counter the rebellion, fighting the Huaishang army to unify Anhui is also counterinsurgency, fighting Zhang Xun is still counterinsurgency, he can occupy the name of righteousness every time! The Jianghuai patrol envoy reorganized the troops in Jiangxi, this is his authority, we can't say anything, I really shouldn't have promised him in the first place, I made a mistake, I made a mistake! ”

The housekeeper sent the jasmine dragon ball, and a fragrant fragrance of flowers wafted out, Yang Shiqi's nose twitched, he really couldn't accept Yuan Shikai's unique taste, the tea had to be drunk originally, and no matter how fragrant the jasmine tea was, it was never the original.

A graceful maid Tingting walked up in a curling manner, holding a cup of Pu'er tea, Yang Shiqi took it with his fingers intentionally or unintentionally wiped on the maid's shallot-like wrist, the maid glanced at him and covered her mouth and snickered, and stepped aside. made Yang Shiqi's bones fluttering.

Yuan Shikai didn't care about it in his eyes, he and Yang Shiqi were guests and hosts for more than 20 years, and they knew each other's hobbies. It's rare for Yang Shiqi to be fifty years younger, and he is still so lustful without concealing it!

There is only him in the world, except for Yang Shiqi, who dares to openly tease Yuan Shikai's maid in Huairentang?

Yuan Shikai took a sip of tea and said: "This girl is not young, she followed Wu Niang at the age of thirteen, and it is time to leave the pavilion??? I'll give her a dowry another day, and let her serve you." ”

Yang Shiqi said repeatedly: "Don't dare, don't dare, Miss Qi'er is Wu Niang's personal beloved, how dare I take Madame's heart?" If you dare to come to the door in the future, won't you be beaten out with a big stick by Wu Niang? ”

"Mr. Xingcheng, doesn't he dislike Chi'er's age?" Shen Wuniang walked out of the inner hall with a smile.

Yang Shiqi hurriedly said: "There is no such intention, there is no such intention!" Not to mention that Miss Qi'er is only twenty-one years old, even if she is more than ten or twenty years older, it is more than enough for an old man like me! ”

Shen Wuniang glanced at Qi'er: "Don't meet your master yet!" ”

Qi'er walked up to Yang Shiqi and said a blessing: "Slave and maid to meet the master!" ”

Yuan Shikai laughed and said, "Xingcheng, you are so blessed!" This girl has been trained by Wu Niang for many years, and no matter how many people want to ask Wu Niang, she is still cheaper than you. ”

Yang Shiqi smiled and said, "Ashamed, ashamed!" It's just that his eyes are always aimed at Chi'er's plump chest and small feet.

Shen Wuniang poked Yang Shiqi's forehead with her finger: "Okay, I will send her through the door today, and the dowry will be sent over again, and your wish will be fulfilled??? It's going to be a long time to see in the future! ”

After that, he said to Qi'er: "You come with me first, I have a few considerate words to say to you." ”

After the two women left, Yang Shiqi's joy was almost irrepressible, he held the teacup and said with a smile: "Other teas are as new as possible, but this Pu'er is Chen Caixiang, and the president has a confidante like Wu Niang, who is really envious of others!" ”

Yuan Shikai couldn't help but wonder: "Qi'er is twenty years old, Wu Niang is forty years old, and when she is also forty years old, I'm afraid you and Zhao Zhi'an will be powerless." ”

Yang Shiqi said embarrassedly: "Teasing, teasing!" ”

Yuan Shikai often accepts the maids around him as goddaughters after training, and then marries his subordinates as concubines or continuations, Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang's wives and concubines are all sent by Yuan Shikai, but Qi'er is Wu Niang's personal maid, and she has been by her side for eight years, and it is indeed rare for Shen Wu Niang to be able to endure the pain and cut her love. Although Yang Shiqi understood that this was Yuan Shikai's means to win people's hearts, he couldn't help but feel a trace of gratitude.

"Let's talk about that Chai Dongliang, if he takes Jiangxi down, it will really become a big trouble??? The Yangtze River fleet is isolated from the north and the south, and we can't use the strength of the Beiyang, if he recovers Mongolia and has prestige, and then sits on the two provinces of Huai and Jiangxi, I am afraid that he will plan to unify the south! Yuan Shikai said worriedly.

Yang Shiqi frowned and said, "Then he is not afraid that we will eat his lone army in Mengjiang?" ”

Yuan Shikai shook his head and smiled bitterly: "After having the military resources of Anhui and Jiangxi provinces, do you think he still cares about the life and death of that lone army?" Politics is dirtier than a bitch's crotch! ”

After thinking for a moment, Yang Shiqi smiled coldly and said, "Has the president heard that Chai Dongliang and the Americans got together?" ”

Yuan Shikai nodded and said, "I've heard of it, but I'm not sure about it." ”

Yang Shiqi said with a smile: "The Americans are nothing in the Far East, but the British are the giants!" Moreover, he said that he and the United States are the most incompatible, so he might as well make a fuss about himself. ”

Yuan Shikai was thoughtful, and after a while, he patted the table and said: "It makes sense, let me add some disgust to him, and the British categorically can't allow anyone to stir up the wind and rain in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River!" After that, some heroes were short of breath, and said with a wry smile: "I can't imagine that I, Yuan Shikai, will have to rely on the strength of foreigners to deal with these hairy boys who are not in the climate!" ”

Yang Shiqi looked at Yuan Shikai, and was also a little sad, the Republic of China had just been established for more than half a year, but Yuan Shikai seemed to be ten years old, and his complexion was much worse than when he was denounced by the Manchu court to go fishing in Huanshui. Half a year ago, when Yuan Shikai took over as interim president, it was so Gu Panxiongfei, and only a few months later, his two tiger eyes lost their luster and were replaced by unspeakably haggard.

This set of things engaged in by the Republic of China, the republic, the Ming Cook, and the constitutionalism, are all unfamiliar to Yuan Shikai, although everyone is saying that the republic is just a paper tiger, but God knows if this tiger will bite in the end! The lessons of the Manchu Qing Dynasty are in the Forbidden City, the Empress Dowager Longyu and Pu Yi were locked up in the imperial city to sit in the well and watch the sky, just imagine that three years ago, the Western powers still thought that the Qing Dynasty's ten-year new policy had achieved great results, and the Qing Dynasty was unprecedentedly powerful after the Opium War that occurred in Daoguangnian!

Yuan Shikai has engaged in foreign affairs, engaged in military affairs, and even tried to engage in constitutionalism, but this earth-shaking republican system is simply an unbelievable thing for him, and the Senate has constrained him in every possible way, treating the presidential palace as a rubber stamp, and Yuan Shikai can only swallow his anger. Yang Du and others often told some Western stories to scare him, and those who destroyed the republic ended up ruined and ruined, and they couldn't get it if they wanted to be a farmer.

Yuan Shikai didn't believe this, but he didn't dare to disbelieve it. In the event of the defeat of the Republic of China and the comeback of the Manchu dynasty like the restoration of the Bourbon dynasty in France, everyone in the world will still have a way out, and Yuan Shikai, who forced Pu Yi to abdicate, will still have a way out?

Yuan Shikai carefully maintained the balance of Beiyang and maintained his relationship with the aggressive Senate, and did not hesitate to spend a lot of money on his political opponent Song Jiaoren as a fund for the Kuomintang.

It is said that the Yuan family will not live to be sixty years old as long as they become officials, can Yuan Shikai pass this hurdle?

Yang Shiqi looked at this great president who had intersected with his grievances for 30 years, and couldn't help but feel a bitterness rise in his heart, and he suddenly remembered Chai Dongliang in Anhui.

This person is also as ambitious as Yuan Shikai, and as pragmatic and low-key as Yuan Shikai, but why is he able to maneuver the storm under the republican system?

Is it really time for these young people to control the world? The mission of himself and Yuan Shikai's generation has ended, and the hard work to support it only increases the laughter of future generations?

At this moment, Yang Shiqi, who has always been a wisdom pearl, was also a little confused!
