January 2, 1912

The plaque of the Yamen of the Governor of Liangjiang has long been missing, and the plaque of the Presidential Palace is still fresh. Representatives of various provinces and members of the Council of Representatives shuttled through it like a stream.

Sun Wen couldn't finish the mountains of documents on the case. The biggest headache for him is the problem of funding. When he returned from overseas, there were rumors that he had brought back tens of millions of dollars. Civilian troops from all over the country have flocked to Nanjing to prepare to eat big households, and more than 100,000 civilian troops from various provinces have gathered in the city.

Sun Wen knew his own affairs, and when he heard the news of the Wuchang Uprising in Denver, he began to try to raise money from European and American countries, but he was arrogantly refused. He really didn't even bring a dime back to China except for the revolutionary spirit! Jiangsu, Hubei, and Hunan provinces each contributed 1 million taels of silver, which had already been spent as military expenses when they attacked Nanjing. Speaking of which, there are already more than a dozen provinces in the province, but most of them withhold taxes, and the foreigner commissioners who control the customs in various places are even more hateful. After hearing the news of the revolution, these foreign devils ignored the provisions of the public law of all countries and deducted the tax money and deposited it in the HSBC bank to eat interest!

The temporary political axe has been supported by Chai Dongliang's one million salary in the past few days, but it seems that the river will dry up and the sea will fall. Sun Wen felt that supporting this temporary political axe and filling the mouths of hundreds of thousands of people was a thousand times more troublesome than the soldiers rebelling against the Qing Dynasty!

"Sir, the Jiangxi People's Army robbed shops on the streets, and went to the War Department to make money, what do you think? Is it to be suppressed immediately? A middle-aged man with a bearded face barged in from the outside.

Sun Wenqiang suppressed his irritability, squeezed out a smile and said: "Miyazaki-kun, these people are all heroes of the revolution, but they have really lived a hard life, and even eating has become a big problem, and I empathize with their suffering... ”

Miyazaki was born in Kumamoto Prefecture as a samurai. The eldest brother, Hachiro Miyazaki, was a strong soldier in the civil rights movement, joined the army of Saigo Takamori against the Meiji political axe, and died in the Southwest War. The second brother, Miyazaki Yazo, felt bitterly that he could not cope with the hegemony of the Caucasian race alone, and was determined to unite China, India, and Turkey to jointly fight against the West. The fourth brother, Miyazaki Minzo, devoted himself to land reform and opposed the feudal landlord system.

Miyazaki was deeply influenced by his three brothers, who believed that his country was too small and resourceful to lead the revival of Asia. Only China, with its vast land, large population, and abundant resources, has the potential to become the dominant force in Asia, and it should be China's helper rather than enemy.

After Miyazaki became acquainted with Sun Wen, he only had a conversation during the banquet, and from then on he regarded Sun Wen as a treasure in Asia, believing that there was no better politician than Sun Wen, so he joined the alliance with faith and swore to follow Sun Wen to the death.

For the sake of Sun Wen, he turned against many leading figures in the political circles, and once disrespected Sun Wen because of Uchida Ryohei's words. Miyazaki directly used a wine jug to open the head of the head of the Black Dragon Society, also to protect Sun Wen, he and Toushan Man also had a conflict.

For Sun Wen, Miyazaki sold all his family property, and his wife had to go out to help people subsidize the family.

Among the ill-intentioned people around the Alliance, Miyazaki was quite an outlier. Because of these reasons, Sun Wen trusted him very much, and gave him a nickname: Dongying Bearded Guest!

"Miyazaki-kun, do you have eyebrows about borrowing money from the Mitsui Foundation?" Sun Wen asked eagerly.

Miyazaki blushed and sighed, "Mitsui & Co. promised to borrow..."

Sun Wen was overjoyed and said: "That's good, with these three million loans, the temporary political axe will have the capital to bargain with the north, if Yuan Shikai really accepts the republican system, then support him, if he is the first to use both ends, then send troops to fight him!" ”

Miyazaki made a bitter face and bowed to the ground: "Sir, I'm really sorry, Mitsui & Co. agreed to borrow, but a group of old decay in the political axe of the country have obstructed it in every way!" Marquis Mitsui also had no choice but to give up, please forgive Miyazaki for being incompetent! ”

Sun Wen had no choice but to smile bitterly and pat Miyazaki's monstrous shoulder to comfort him.

Miyazaki sighed for a long time, complaining silently about the short-sightedness and stupidity of the political axe.

"Sir, sir!" There was a rush of shouting outside.

Sun Wen saw that it was Huang Xing, and said busily: "Keqiang, you came just in time!" The list of the chief and deputy ministers of each ministry you drew up, I feel that there are some problems, basically they are all students, and the heroes of Wuchang Shouyi are excluded, which will make people criticize! ”

Huang Xing's face turned pale, and he shook his hand and said: "Let's not talk about this first, Chai Guanghua, the governor of Anhui, fired a cannon on the Yangtze River to mourn Tao Huanqing, and now he has left with the sailor!" ”

Sun Wen was stunned: "Oh, where did you go?" Back to Anqing? ”

Huang Xing smiled bitterly: "It would be good if he went back to Anqing, he took the troops to Shanghai!" ”

Yanjing Stone Adult Hutong Gongbao Mansion

With a "bang", the copper basin was kicked away by Yuan Shikai.

"Bastard, you want to burn me?" Yuan Shikai roared angrily.

The North Korean concubine who squatted on the ground to wash his feet was poured all over her face, knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "The slave should die!" ”

Yuan Shikai slapped her unceremoniously: "You should have died a long time ago!" ”

Shen Wuniang walked over with a smile, glanced at the North Korean woman who was already scared stupidly, motioned her to step back, and then said softly: "Ye Sensei is angry, and his anger hurts his liver!" ”

Yuan Shikai swept the North Korean concubine with the corner of his eye: "Don't you get out yet?" If you want to die, stay away! ”

The concubine endured the grievances and retreated with sobs.

Shen Wuniang poured the foot-washing water, mixed some milk and flower petals into it, and squatted on the ground to wash Yuan Shikai's feet. Yuan Shikai looked restless, and just after two washes, he stretched his feet out of the plate.

Shen Wuniang grabbed his feet and said, "Soak a little longer!" The body and bones of the master are not as good as they were back then, and the hot water scalds the feet and sleeps well at night! ”

Yuan Shikai was silent, just his little eyes were rolling around, as if he was thinking about something.

Shen Wuniang washed all the seams of his toes, and then wiped the water with a white towel: "Mr. Yang Xingcheng is here, waiting outside!" ”

Yuan Shikai immediately came to the momentum, jumped up from the couch, and rushed out barefoot, Shen Wuniang picked up his shoes, and chased after him: "Master, your shoes!" ”

Outside the second gate, Yang Shiqi was leisurely drinking tea, and several soldiers were holding tea trays and hookahs, nodding and serving carefully.

Yuan Shikai rushed over and gave a bear hug: "Xingcheng, you want to kill me!" You're coming, and you're coming, and what else are you going to pass on? ”

Yang Shiqi laughed and said: "I heard that the palace guard was taking care of the housework just now, and it is still difficult for the Qing official to cut off the housework, so I still hide away so as not to be bored!" ”

Yuan Shikai cordially took Yang Shiqi's hand and walked in, complaining as he walked: "When you went to Anqing, I heard that Anqing was occupied by the chaotic party and Zhu Jiabao was killed, I was so anxious!" ”

After Yang Shiqi met Chai Dongliang in Anqing, he went around Anhui, Jiangxi, and Jiangsu, inspected several provinces that had announced his reading power, and then took a boat from Shanghai to Tianjin, and then took a train from Tianjin back to Yanjing. More than a month has passed. Yuan Shikai never heard from him, thinking that he had died in Anqing, until he received a telegram from Yang Shiqi from Shanghai, and he did not know that he was safe and sound.

Shen Wuniang chased out of it, put on the shoes for Yuan Shikai, and then pretended to be angry: "Mr. Xingcheng, you are really, you don't have a letter to report safety when you get out of danger, how many tears did my family Yuan Ye shed for you, Yuan Ye is in a bad mood, and our sisters are not less angry!" ”

Yang Shiqi laughed and bowed: "It's all Shiqi's sin, I apologize to my wife!" ”

Yuan Shikai glared at Shen Wuniang: "You are a woman, where did you come from so much nonsense?" I reunited with the Xingcheng brothers after the disaster, and you still don't arrange wine and food, what are you making noise here? ”

Shen Wuniang glanced at Yuan Shikai and walked away with a twist on Xiaoman's waist.

Yuan Shikai smiled awkwardly: "I am a martial artist, and I am always not at home, these girls inevitably lack some training, which makes Xingcheng laugh!" ”

Yang Shiqi laughed and said: "Wu Niang women don't let their eyebrows, heroes in the dust, get acquainted with palace guards and cold and subtle, even if many men can't compare to this kind of eyesight!" After the development of Gongbao, do not forget the old knowledge, this kind of mind is the true character of heroes! ”

Shen Wuniang was originally a famous person in the capital, and it was difficult for many princes and nobles to win favor for their top cards in the eight major alleys. She just fell in love with Yuan Shikai, who was dismissed at that time, and waited for the day when Yuan Shikai came out after redeeming herself. With such a relationship, it is no wonder that Yuan Shikai has blue eyes for her.

Yuan Shikai kept holding Yang Shiqi's hand and didn't let go, and the two of them entered the inner hall with a smile.

Yang Shiqi took out a newspaper from his sleeve: "Gong Bao is in a bad mood, I'm afraid it's because of this, right?" ”

The headline on the front page of the "Declaration" was that the Nanjing Provisional Political Axe was established, and Sun Wen was elected as the provisional president.

Yuan Shikai snorted and said: "Mu Monkey and the crown is not like a human king... I know the details of this Sun Wen, after the defeat of the First Sino-Japanese War, he wrote to Li Zhongtang to change the law, Li Zhongtang didn't pay attention to him, he pulled the flag and set off cannons to rebel!" After the Gengzi National Change, he went to contact Li Zhongtang again, saying that he wanted to elect Li Zhongtang as the president, but Li Zhongtang still ignored him! Now he actually proclaimed himself president! ”

Yang Shiqi smiled indifferently: "It doesn't matter if you are a monkey and a crown, it is not like a human king!" The 400,000 troops of the Kuomintang are really there! If Gong Bao is strong, even if he can exterminate the Kuomintang, he will inevitably lose his vitality! ”

Yuan Shikai looked at the newspaper and was angry in his heart. Originally, Huang Xing, Zhang Taiyan, Tao Chengzhang and others all sent him telegrams, saying that as long as Yuan Shikai was willing to force the Qing court to abdicate, he would be elected president, but he didn't expect that the Qing court had not yet abdicated, and Sun Wen himself became the president! And Tao Chengzhang, who supported him as the president, was assassinated!

"What about 400,000? It's just rats and dogs, and the heavenly soldiers are like soup and snow! ”

Yang Shiqi shook his head and said: "Gong Bao also looks down on the People's Party, there are still talents in the People's Party!" Kung Pao must not be careless! ”

Yuan Shikai knows that Yang Shiqi's personality and the characters he can pay attention to must not be ordinary.

"Who is Xingcheng talking about?"

Yang Shiqi said categorically: "Anhui Governor Chai Guanghua!" ”

Yuan Shikai laughed and said: "Are you talking about Chai Dongliang, who went to Shanghai with a warship yesterday to pay tribute to Tao Chengzhang?" ”

Yang Shiqi was stunned for a moment, and then clasped his hands and said: "It turns out that the palace guard has long paid attention to him, Shiqi has said a lot!" ”
