Chapter 146: A Dangerous Taste
Duan Qirui wants to reorganize the cabinet and clean up the domestic mess, but the current cabinet is incomplete, and without the support of the southwestern provinces, this cabinet cannot represent the whole country even if it is not a national cabinet. So Duan Qirui wanted to start from this aspect, how to include the southwest, but not lose control of the cabinet.
Duan Qirui has a capable commander under him, Xu Shuzheng. Xu Shuzheng: "Boss, if you say something from your heart, I think you should think of a way out." β
Duan Qirui was shocked: "A way out? What retreat? β
Xu Shuzheng: "The old man may not be able to do it." Xu Shuzheng glanced at Duan Qirui, knowing the importance of Duan Qirui's feelings for Yuan Datou. Although Duan Qirui broke with Yuan Datou this time, it was only limited to verbal opposition, and there was no military action, and when Yuan Datou was in danger, Duan Qirui immediately went out of the mountain, intending to take over the frenzy.
Xu Shuzheng: "Xuzhou has already expressed its dissupport for the old man, Sichuan, I'm afraid it won't last long." The southwest is now busy unifying the bottom line, and the attitude is very resolute, and the old man will not be willing to step down. β
Duan Qirui: "Isn't it okay to resign from the throne and retain the presidency?" β
Xu Shuzheng glanced at Duan Qirui meaningfully: "Boss, I think it's better not to stay." β
Duan Qirui was shocked, if he couldn't hear Xu Shuzheng's words, Duan Qirui would have been in vain for so many years.
Duan Qirui: "After all, he is my old teacher." β
Xu Shuzheng: "Yes, my lord, but it is not you who is forcing the palace, and besides, in this situation, what can we do." β
Duan Qirui was silent for a long time, and Xu Shuzheng also didn't speak quietly, for a long time, Duan Qirui was difficult: "If - you say - that- who is appropriate?" β
"Li Bodhisattva."
One of Yang Shuai's regiments, Li Zongren's regiment, was arranged to rest in Dinghu, and now Li Liejun also needs to rest, in short, the war seems to be far away. But now Zhaoqing is celebrating, very lively.
Representatives of the rebel armies from Yunnan, Sichuan, Guizhou, Guangxi, and Guangdong gathered here, and many revolutionaries from abroad also gathered here. Sun Wen has already set off from Hong Kong and will soon be coming from Guangzhou.
On this day, Yang Shuai was discussing the matter of this conference with others.
Yang Shuai: "Negotiations and military action cannot be separated, let alone be left to chance, thinking that if peace talks are going to be held now, you can ignore the military revolution." On the contrary, we should concentrate more and give a strong blow to the northern army, so that they understand that we are not unable to fight, but that we are unwilling to fight and do not want to fight. In this way, we will be able to negotiate with confidence. So I seconded Commander Li's proposal to attack Shaoguan. Under Shaoguan, Hunan will definitely be alarmed, and with the lobbying of people with lofty ideals, Hunan may revolt, one more province, and one more strength. β
Ren Kecheng, one of the initiators of the National Defense Movement, agreed with Yang Shuai's words: "Guizhou and Sichuan are in a stalemate, if they can take Hunan, the southwest half of the country is enough to fight against Yuan Datou." Tang Qianming, the overseer, is not bent on following Yuan Datou, and this matter is promising. β
Li Liejun walked over into the distance embarrassed and nodded awkwardly at Yang Shuai. There are things in Nanning, everyone has their own opinions, and there are people who say that Li Liejun has no bearing, and when he saw Yang Shuai at this time, Li Liejun was also a little embarrassed.
But after shaking his head, Li Liejun: "When it comes to fighting Shaoguan, it sounds good, and now everyone is crying poor." In addition to my thousands of tired soldiers who fought thousands of miles from Yunnan, it was a regiment of Commander Yang, and with these people, he went to touch Shaoguan, which was heavily guarded? You must think too highly of me. β
Li Liejun was a republican and one of the most determined people in the Northern Expedition. It's a pity that there are a lot of supporters, but there are not a few who are really powerful. Now Li Liejun may be secretly proud of Nanning's actions in his heart, if he hadn't refused to see Yang Shuai in Nanning, he was afraid that Yang Shuai would not have pulled a group over to save face.
As soon as Li Liejun said this, two people blushed, one Chen Bingkun and the other Chen Jiongming. Guangzhou's dragon light is still shrunk in Guangzhou, and no one has appeared.
Chen Bingkun hurried: "Oh, I have the intention to kill the thief, but I can't go back to heaven." Most of my Guangxi troops are in Guizhou, and now the general is also irritable, if I have the ability, I Guangxi will definitely spare no effort, instead of just sending Yang Junchang a regiment. β
Yang Shuai was stunned, Nima's, Chen Bingkun, do you need to be so shameless, I have become the representative of Guangxi, fuck you, Lao Tzu only represents himself.
Chen Jiongming now has more than 10,000 troops, and the east of Guangzhou and Fujian are all under Chen Jiongming's jurisdiction, and he seems to be the largest of the three forces in Guangdong. After Chen Bingkun said this, Chen Jiongming also hurried over: "After three months of uprising, the recruits are incapable, so let's do it, for the sake of protecting the country, I decided to hand over all the four cannons captured from Meizhou last month to Commander Li." β
Four cannons, Li Liejun wanted to scold people, but who did he scold, all of them had territory, and he was the only one who claimed to be the commander, but he could only send thousands of soldiers and horses to the fence.
Li Liejun gritted his teeth and looked at Yang Shuai, unwilling in his heart, if even Yang Shuai came to show his face, then Li Liejun would cry.
Yang Shuai: "Commander, I will fight Qujiang, and I don't need to pay the commander a single soldier, and the commander can make every effort to prepare for the battle of Shaoguan." β
Li Liejun was overjoyed, Qujiang is a barrier in the south of Shaoguan, the city road is narrow, although it is not as good as Shaoguan, but it is also a must pass through Guangdong to go north to Hunan. If Yang Shuai takes Qujiang, he can save Li Liejun a lot of things, and more importantly, he can save troops.
The two talked happily in detail, but Li Liejun didn't know that when they separated, Yang Shuai had successfully fooled two of the four cannons sent by Chen Jiongming just now.
Long Jinguang is very uncomfortable these days, especially Sun Wen is going to get off the ship from Guangzhou, but he has to go to Zhaoqing for a meeting, which makes Long Jinguang very disgraceful. Everyone said that the conference was not held in the big city of Guangzhou, but went to Zhaoqing, which was nothing more than that Long Jiguang did not really support and protect the country.
Long Jinguang had no way to fight back against this charge, he was originally the commander of the East Road Army designated by Yuan Datou, no matter how he said it, it was useless.
Sun Wen kept praising the righteousness of Long Jinguang, but he still couldn't make Long Jinguang relieved.
Tomorrow is the day to accompany Sun Wen to Zhaoqing, Long Jinguang and Li Wenfu and other generals and staff officers.
"It's not easy to live now, the east and west are not easy to mess with, so we rely on the treasure land of Guangzhou Bay to support ourselves. By the way, the navy, can those battleships come back? β
"Coming back? How? Now Chen Shaokuan and the others not only went by themselves, but also drove away with soldiers and warships. In the past, I said, don't touch the navy's salary, don't move, don't move, you just don't listen, don't make a sound, don't run for three months, it's strange. β
A few of his subordinates have been arguing, Long Jinguang was irritable, and slapped the table: "Don't quarrel, what's the use of arguing, what is the navy now, let's take care of ourselves first." If it really doesn't work, I'll support Shimono at this conference and stop playing. β
Tired, really tired, Long Jiguang couldn't help but think.
Li Wenfu was a few shocked: "General, you can't go into the wilderness, you are gone, what should we do?" β
After the dragon is gone, Li Wenfu and others in Guangzhou can only be annexed by others and live a life of exclusion, who wants to.
Long Jinguang lowered his head and thought about it again: "Damn, isn't Guangxi doing something about the 123456 Army, let's also get one." β
Huang Xien: "General, and Shaoguan, you know." β
Zhaoqing.
"The conference was hosted by Sun Ke."
Yang Shuai was stunned: "Who is this Sun Ke?" He asked softly to a person next to him.
"Mr. Sun'sβ"
Only then did Yang Shuai understand that he was sitting quietly at the meeting table, and he was so serious. There are seven or eight people in Nanning and Qin County, and Ma Junwu, Yang Shuai, and a few others are all representatives of Nanning and Qin County.
Ma Junwu leaned over gently: "Zhaoyun, if the north and the south can negotiate peace, I plan to resign from the position of the Food and Salary Bureau and concentrate on the work of the university, at most one councillor, and other positions, I am afraid that I will not be careful." β
Yang Shuai was shocked, Ma Junwu has always been Yang Shuai's right-hand man, many things Yang Shuai achieved through Ma Junwu's status, and suddenly Ma Junwu wanted to be like this, Yang Shuai was shocked.
Ma Junwu hurried again: "Don't worry, I am a member of the National Assembly, and I also represent Guangxi." β
Knock knock - knock knock Yang Shuai was about to say something, but he heard a hammer sound on the rostrum. A young man with a young demeanor stepped up to the top and blew into the microphone, noticing that there was a voice.
"Everyone, please be quiet, the meeting is about to begin, please sit down quickly, the contemptible person is the presiding officer of this conference-"
Introduce the process, and then say it, only to see Sun Ke: "Next, we warmly applaud Mr. Sun Wen to give you a speech." β
Yang Shuai almost laughed out loud, Nima's, is this a meeting, why did it become a speech again.
He was dressed in a white tunic and a white hat on his head. Sun Wen must have never imagined that his dress would become a brand.
"Yu has been since he was sixteenβ"
Yang Shuai had to admire the great man's oratory ability, and he definitely did not have such an incitement ability. Sun Wen's words made everyone's blood boil, and some literati even clenched their fists and roared: "Long live **." "Down with Yuan Datou"
Only then did I see Sun Wen slowly walking off the stage, waving his hand to everyone, and sitting down in a position in the middle. Next, it is the report that everyone has to do, and Yang Shuai originally had his share, but Yang Shuai was reluctant to speak.
It was at this time that the matter of negotiations with the North came to be met. The old man Lu Rongting didn't know which corner Lu Dao was sitting in, and when he stood up, Yang Shuai saw it.
"Negotiations require a negotiation team, and I suggest that Ren Kecheng should have full powers to represent the Protector Army, and at the same time I recommend one person as an auxiliary representative, Yang Zhaoyun and General Yang Shuai. General Yang is the protector of the countryβ"
When he talked about his name, Yang Shuai was stupid, not to mention Lu Rongting's praise.
Ma Junwu was also taken aback, and turned to look at Yang Shuai: "Zhaoyun, have you discussed it with him?" Lu Rongting suddenly jumped out and proposed, Ma Junwu couldn't help but misunderstand.
Yang Shuai hurried: "No, no, I don't know what to do." Then he looked at Lu Rongting in surprise, but saw Lu Rongting looking at Yang Shuai with a smile on his face, just like a kind elder looking at his outstanding junior, full of doting.
Yang Shuai was suddenly shocked, and an unspeakable sense of crisis made him blurt out: "No." β
