Upstairs in the big opera, big gongs, small gongs, drums, and cymbals sounded together, and Zhang Xun was a fan of the opera, so he frowned at the time and said: "These four blows are the opening gongs and drums of Beijing Opera, and the same is true of Huangmei Opera?" ”

Cao Kun smiled: "It doesn't matter what it is, watch the play, watch the play." ”

After the gong and drum sounded, I saw the door curtain raised, and a small flower face with a yellow hat and tofu white on his nose shook and walked up to the stage, only to see him holding a Zen stick in his left hand and a string of prayer beads in his right hand, throwing the rosary high and turning over a few heels in the sky, and the little flower face's neck stretched out, which attracted a cheer from below.

Zhang Xunleng was stunned for a long time: "Which one is this?" looks like Fahai who is dressed as "Water Man's Golden Mountain", but Fahai is not a harlequin! ”

Cao Kun patted his thigh and said: "Yellow hat and red tassels, grandma's, this is not a monk but a lama, it can't be wrong!" The lamas of Lama Temple are dressed like this! ”

Zhang Xun was confused: "Which play has a lama in this?" ”

With the sound of a gong, the little flower face dressed as a lama dragged a long voice to report to his home: "The noise and noise of China, it is he who is separated from Germany." The republic of the five clans has become bullshit, and the right will sell the country as a career. Some, Jebtsundamba, Mongolian living Buddha is also. Seeing the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the rise of the Republic of China, the warlord scuffle, the revolutionary army in the south, and the Beiyang army in the north, they are incompatible, fighting and killing. Yikes. There is a saying that "the snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits", but my Mongolia is not the one who happened to break away from China and take refuge in the Rakshasas. ”

This self-reported home door stunned all the people present, Yang Shiqi and Xu Shichang in the flower hall couldn't close their frightened mouths, but Yuan Shikai didn't have the slightest difference, patting his thighs and continuing to watch the play. In the sound of gongs and drums, another little flower face wearing a Mongolian robe walked out and reported to his home again: "Gunshots rang out at the head of Wuchang City, the Manchu father lost the Dragon Court, the hardcore sorghum was nowhere to be found, and the small Mongolian court was hungry???? A certain Wutai is also, the king of the Mongolian county, only because of the revolution in China, buried the Manchu court, I surrendered to the Rakshasa and recognized the Tsar Nicholas as my father! ”

The two little flower faces sang together: "I am a traitor to the country, and he is a trick." Happy killing is said to be with people, then this hero takes advantage of the chaos to arise. To think from the beginning of the day, carry the flag, walk the iron horse, chaos China, to Danqi, to be a dignified emperor of the Great Yuanzhen??? Taking advantage of the great chaos in China, I started from the time, first broke away from China, and then relied on the Rakshasa to train the army for ten years, which may enable my Mongolian army to enter the Central Plains again and restore my old imperial industry. ”

Most of the ministers of various countries were proficient in Chinese, and the ministers of this and Russia were pale, and they glared at Yuan Shikai in the flower hall and walked away, while the American minister Jia Leheng clapped his hands and applauded. Not long ago, Russia and Russia adopted the third secret treaty to conspire to carve up Mongolia, and their imaginary enemy was the United States, which was intent on getting involved in the economic interests of Manchuria, and unanimously rejected British and American capital. Someone went to the Russians in front of Yuan Shikai to find bad luck, and this is a situation that the United States is very happy to see.

Yuan Shikai watched the play, but his heart was turning over the river and the sea, the Republic of China had just been established, and the Mongolian living Buddha Jebuzundamba announced that the West [***] was established, calling himself Ezhen Khan, which means the Great Light Emperor, and changed the Yuan to wear it. Last month, Zhao Erxun, the governor of Fengtian, sent another secret telegram, saying that Wutai was also preparing to rebel, and now even Eastern Mongolia was not at peace. Hulunbuir's Fusheng is also in turmoil, and Mongolia is full of police, and smoke is everywhere.

Yuan Shikai had just become the president, and the excuse for setting the capital of Yanjing was to prevent Russia from coveting Manchuria, and if he lost millions of square kilometers of Mongolian land at once, it would be a huge blow to the prestige of Yanjing and Yuan Shikai himself. In a few months, the Senate and the House of Representatives will be re-elected, and now Soong Jiaoren has reorganized the League and several small parties into the Kuomintang, and the momentum is huge and aggressive. Once the whole of Mongolia is lost, the whole country will be in an uproar, and the Kuomintang will inevitably use this as a weapon to attack the incumbent political axe. However, if it sends troops to Mongolia, it will inevitably anger Russia, not to mention a war with Russia, and even if Russia refuses to take out a loan, it may make the aftermath of the large loan that has already reached a preliminary agreement be discouraged.

The sound of gongs and drums on the stage, a man dressed as a martial artist appeared with a group of generals and pawns: "Huanghuang unifies my China, and Meng Yuan is also his hometown in the north." The republic of the five ethnic groups fulfilled the wishes of the people, and the side court could not afford the wild sand. His own Duan Qirui is also, the word Zhiquan, Anhui Hefei. He is now the Chief of the Army of the Republic of China???"

Yuan Shikai laughed and said, "Zhiquan, there are still you in this play!" ”

Duan Qirui will always have that iron-blue face: "President, there is also public opinion in this play, and the loss of territory is a shame for soldiers!" ”

Yuan Shikai said with a haha: "Public opinion, yes, public opinion, watch the play, watch the play!" ”

Wu Sheng, who played Duan Qirui, continued to read the confession: "Thinking about Mongolia, since the Yuan Dynasty invaded our China, Kublai Khan fixed the capital of Yanjing, and finally mixed with my China to unify, so far it has been more than 700 years. The Republic of China was established, the republic of the five ethnic groups, Han, Manchu, Mongolian, Tibetan, Hui, and fraternal nationalities; Naimeng Living Buddha, regardless of the idea of his family and country, sold himself to Rakshasa in order to read power. Now the Republic of China is prosperous, all surnames are returned to the heart, the state is stable, President Yuan of the Republic of China is wise and martial, and he is making great efforts, and the north and the south are mixed with a big picture of Zhongxing. Duan led his army north at this time, and he may be able to recover Outer Mongolia in one fell swoop. There is a saying, "The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband"; Another way is, "Do your best, and then die"??? Generals! ”

The generals and pawns said in unison: "Yes!" ”

Wu Sheng, who played Duan Qirui, shouted: "All the generals and officials will follow the master to kill Mobei, and go straight to Huanglong to protect the Republic of China for thousands of years!" There are rewards for each forward, and it is inevitable to eat a knife when you retreat, and Erlang and I will go out of Saibei, and we will definitely cut that shameless thief with ten thousand knives! ”

Everyone on the stage sang a song "Lip Tapping" at the same time: "It's like a tiger coming out of the cage, and the sky is shocked." The family and the country are important. Rush forward. He kills him like a fierce dream. ”

Zhang Xun suddenly realized: "Grandma's, this is a miscellaneous drama, no wonder it looks familiar!" ”

The Beiyang generals who watched the play applauded in unison, Jebzundamba and Wutai were just clowns in Mongolia, and what combat effectiveness did a few herdsmen who were still using old-fashioned front-loading guns have? The heavenly soldiers must plow the court and sweep the holes, this kind of errand that shows his face and is not difficult, which military general doesn't want to fight? The civilian officials secretly complained that there were Russians in the banking group of the five countries, and now the big loan for the aftermath is at a critical juncture, and if there are extraneous branches, this political axe may not be able to support it.

The sound of gongs and drums stopped abruptly at the highest pitch, and the little flower face who played Jebuzundamba sang: "Call Wutai, my good brother, they all say that you are poor and always hungry, but when I see you with a red face, I know that brother, you are strong and strong, why don't you send troops to take Gyeonggi directly, and smear my country!" ”

Xiaohua Face, who played Wutai, also sang: "Call my great emperor my great emperor, the brain is full of fat and drips from my father, and the three hundred years of hardcore sorghum I have eaten fat and fat, and now I am worried about how to lose weight." You say that I am strong and strong, which makes me smear my liver and brain, but who knows that Yanjing City is not easy to fight? Oh, my Great Emperor, that President Yuan is not easy to mess with! There are generals in Beiyang, and there are more than 100,000 tigers, and one person can drown me with a mouthful of phlegm??? Oh, my emperor, I am frightened and afraid, I am afraid that the political axe of the Republic of China will send troops to take my old nest! ”

The Beiyang generals laughed, Zhang Xun squirted a sip of wine into Cao Kun's face, and Cao Kun also slid from the chair to the ground with a smile. This play is a miscellaneous drama in the front, and the singing voice of Huangmei Opera is changed in the back, what kind of road is this? And it's so funny.

After the two little flower faces finished singing, they stood solemnly on the stage, and the actors who played Duan Qirui and the Beiyang generals also appeared together, Yuan Shikai was puzzled and said: "This is the end of singing?" What's next? ”

The housekeeper of the presidential palace hurriedly climbed to the theater to ask, and after all the actors bowed on the stage, they said: "The next fold of the play, please ask President Yuan Da and the political axe of the Republic of China to write!" ”

Yuan Shikai laughed and said: "This play is beautiful, watch it!" After that, he said to Yang Shiqi with a smile: "Xingcheng, the ice in this flower hall is too heavy, you can accompany me for a walk." ”

After that, he walked out with a wine glass, and Yang Shiqi followed closely behind him.

Walking to the back garden, Yuan Shikai's face suddenly became gloomy: "This Chai Dongliang is roasting me on the fire, the higher he holds our Beiyang, the harder he will fall if he doesn't handle it properly in the future!" ”

Yang Shiqi smiled bitterly: "President, look at it, it will not take a few days for students across the country to march on the streets to petition, and the provincial council bureaus and governors will definitely urge the political axe to recover Mongolia??? Hey, the president should also plan for the affairs of Mongolia and Xinjiang in advance, and this public opinion is difficult to disobey! ”

Yuan Shikai raised the wine glass fiercely, smashed it on a Taihu Lake stone, and said viciously: "It's not hard to see people carrying the burden, fuck the public opinion!" ”

???? Dividing line ????

A vinyl record "Dingmengjiang" released by the American Victory Company became popular in Yanjing, Shanghai, Tianjin and other big cities in a very short period of time. For the first time, ordinary people heard this kind of opera with a mix and match style of miscellaneous opera, Huangmei opera and a strong funny style, and they all felt very fresh. The mat scenes at the opening of major theaters all hung up the water cards of "Dingmengjiang", which often suppressed the limelight of the main play. The common people did not know that less than half a year after the establishment of the Republic of China, Mongolia rebelled. The major newspapers began to report on the situation in Mongolia one after another, and the students of Yanjing organized a petition group to block the door of the political axe and demand that troops be sent to recover Mongolia, and the two thieves Jebtsundamba and Utai were exterminated. The provincial council bureaus have also written political axes one after another, demanding that the land be quickly recovered and the culprits eliminated. The generals of Beiyang have asked the War Department to fight, and they can gain the reputation of recovering the territory by beating a few herdsmen, and this kind of opportunity is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The eyes of the whole country are fixed on Mongolia and the Yanjing Provisional Political Axe, and everyone is watching what kind of end Yuan Shikai, the great president, will draw this play, whether it is a loss of power and humiliation like the Manchu Qing Dynasty or a new political axe and a new atmosphere, smashing the attempt of Jebtsundamba and others to split the country in one fell swoop.

Chai Dongliang, as the initiator, has also become the focus of national attention???? And he seems to enjoy this feeling of being in the limelight.

A banquet was held in the Anqing Military Advisory Mansion, and Chai Dongliang was feasting Gao Ming's younger brother Gao Chuguan.

Gao Chuguan and his brother's temperament were completely different, and his round face was full of the words "harmony", and no one could tell what he was thinking.

After Li Yuanhong borrowed Yuan Shikai's knife to kill Zhang Zhenwu, he personally ran to guard Zhang Zhenwu's spirit, crying dead and alive, but Lao Yuan was not a fool, and at that time he published the original text of the secret telegram sent to him by Li Yuanhong through the newspaper.

The arrival of Gao Chuguan made Chai Dongliang overjoyed, his generals were trained in the latest way, and after mixed training with the Gurkha Guards, the tactical literacy of the middle and lower-level officers was greatly improved, while the civilian team was extremely weak, and the most lacking was the strategists such as military advisors who shook goose feather fans.

"Mr. Xiang Yuan can come to Anqing to help me, it really makes Chai very happy, and I will give Mr. another drink!" Chai Dongliang affectionately called Gao Chuguan's words, and raised his wine glass to toast.

Gao Chuguan already had three points of wine, and said with a red face: "The governor doesn't think I'm a lost dog, and it's already a great feeling to be able to take it in, so I borrow flowers to offer the Buddha a cup of worship to the governor." ”

Gao Ming laughed and picked up the wine glass and said, "I'll have a glass too." ”

The three of them drank it all at the same time, flipped the wine glasses and sure enough, there was no trickle left, and then laughed together.

After three rounds of drinking, Gao Chuguan asked with a smile: "The governor provoked the situation in Mengjiang, I'm afraid it wasn't for President Yuan Da's face to put gold on his face, right?" ”

Chai Dongliang smiled: "What does Mr. think, what do I mean?" ”

Gao Chuguan shook his head and said: "I can't see through, I can't see through, the governor wants to transfer the Beiyang Army to Mongolia?" Use Rakshasa ghosts to balance the North Ocean? If this is the case, I'm afraid the governor will be disappointed, although Beiyang has a lot of soldiers and generals, but because of the big stalls, there are many difficulties, not to mention that this opening fee can make President Yuan and General Duan worry about it, and now the biggest thing in Yanjing's temporary political axe is to take care of the aftermath and borrow a lot, and President Yuan will definitely not turn his face with the Russians at this juncture???? Does the governor want to send troops to Mongolia and gain a reputation for recovering territory? But in that case, it will be easy to recover Mongolian territory, and it will be difficult to withdraw, and a lone army is there, isn't it fish on someone else's chopping board? ”

Chai Dongliang said with a smile: "I really hope that our President Yuan Da has the spirit of fighting alone in North Korea, if that is the case, I am willing to help him, if he is really as Mr. said, then our Jianghuai Revolutionary Army is duty-bound to recover the territory!" ”

Gao Chuguan looked at Chai Dongliang with slightly drunken eyes, is this young governor really like what he said, a character who does not care about success or failure for the country and the people?
