Seeing Zhang Zhidong walk out, Songpan also hurriedly followed behind Zhang Zhidong, and the two of them got out of the military plane, got into a sedan chair, and began to walk towards the governor's palace in the north.

Before they reached the Governor's Palace, the sedan chair of the two was blocked on the road, and the butler came forward to inquire, only to know that the wood transported from other places was blocking the way.

Hey, hearing this news, Zhang Zhidong had more sorrow for the court.

Nowadays, the great enemy is currently more than 100,000 people in Liaodong to defend the border, and at this time, the emperor and Cixi not only used the useful money where it should be used, but used it to build palaces.

It turned out that after Cixi entered the governor's palace, she always felt that there was less royal style, and the room was too small, so she ordered the Ministry of Industry to expand the palace for herself, and the expenses were deducted from military expenses.

The country will not be a country, and he is still in the mood to build a garden, which only Cixi can do.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Zhidong lifted the sedan curtain, and saw not far away, more than a dozen carriages of trees across the road, and saw that hundreds of people were under the command of the Praetorian Guard, desperately crossing the Su Road, looking at the scene, it was impossible to go without three or four hours.

"Detour." Put down the car curtain. Zhang Zhidong closed his eyes again.

The sedan chair driver who got the order could only lift Zhang Zhidong again, and after making a few laps in place, he began to walk back.

This toss took an extra half an hour, and as soon as they entered the governor's palace, they were greeted by busy migrant workers and troops unloading timber everywhere. And those troops were originally stationed in the fifth town on the outskirts of Chengdu.

How far can the Qing Dynasty go? Seeing this scene, Zhang Zhidong shook his head helplessly, and then under the leadership of the guards, he walked with Songpan to Cixi to deal with government affairs, that is, the original lobby of the Governor's Palace.

Lushun, in the headquarters, as soon as Liu Jun entered the study after returning from Pyongyang, he looked at the map of Xinjiang in a quiet daze. It's been two days, and in the past two days, Liu Jun has spent it in front of the map after eating.

"Head." Zhong Lin, who came in, immediately closed his mouth when he saw Liu Jun standing in front of the map, and quietly walked in front of Zheng Yiqian.

"Sister-in-law, it's been two days, and I'm looking at the map like this, why don't you get tired?"

"You ask me, who am I going to ask, he will look at the map for half a day even if he goes back in the past two days." After Zheng Yiqian glanced at Zhong Lin, she turned around and walked to the side.

"Where is Yuan Shikai being held now?" Finally, in the study, Liu Jun's question sounded.

Hearing Liu Jun's inquiry, Zhong Lin quickly took out a document from his folder: "I just received the news, Cixi ordered that Pan Xiaosu, the governor of Xinjiang, escort Yuan Shikai and others back to Chengdu, and then Ling Chi. ”

What the? Hearing this, Liu Jun turned around all of a sudden, and sent a telegram from Zhong Lin's hand.

Indeed, it is clearly written above that the governor of Xinjiang will escort Yuan Shikai to Chengdu in the near future.

Give face and shame, I give you a chance for peace, because I don't want the people to suffer, since you treat my subordinates like this, then don't blame me for being ruthless.

Crumpling the telegram in his hand, Liu Jun looked at Zhong Lin, who was standing beside him: "Tell the wolves, be sure to rescue Yuan Shikai, and in addition, immediately let Zhang Yi, commander of the Seventh Corps of Outer Mongolia, and Luo Dacheng, commander of the Fourteenth Corps, come to Lushun to see me immediately." ”

Hiss Zhonglin and Zheng Yiqian, who was sorting out the documents, raised their eyes suddenly. They estimated in their hearts that Liu Jun was going to launch a new round of attack on the imperial court. The Seventh Corps is now stationed on the border of Xinjiang, and the Fourteenth Corps is a new corps recruited by Wang Shizhen in Shaanxi after consulting Liu Jun, and the commander of the corps is Luo Dacheng.

"Head, do you want to?" Zhong Lin was not sure, so he could only ask tentatively.

There was no reply, but from Liu Jun's eyes and slight shaking of his head, Zhong Lin already knew the answer.

"Okay, I'll go and order it right away." After getting Liu Jun's affirmation, Zhong Lin turned around, picked up his documents and walked out.

Seeing Zhong Lin go out, Zheng Yiqian picked up the tea in her hand and handed it to Liu Jun and said, "You haven't always hoped for a peaceful solution to the northwest issue, why did you suddenly change your mind?" ”

Zheng Yiqian's question, Liu Jun had to answer, took the tea, Liu Jun took a sip and said, peaceful liberation, not my intention, that place in Xinjiang, there are many people who want to split out, so for Xinjiang, I did not treat it peacefully, but at that time, the Japanese frequently made funny moves in North Korea, so I had to do this, and now, the matter with Japan has been successfully resolved for a period of time, I may free up my hands to carry out a clean of Xinjiang, Get rid of those goods that want to be the same as those in Outer Mongolia. ”

Putting the teacup on the table, Liu Jun smiled faintly: "There is another point, that is, to teach a lesson to the provinces that want to surrender me in the future." If you want to take refuge in me seriously, I welcome it, but if you play a conspiracy on me, I will make him regret coming into this world. ”

Domineering language. Hearing Liu Jun's last few words, Zheng Yiqian couldn't help but gasp. He estimated that this time in Xinjiang, if it is not done well, it will be a river of blood.

Not wanting to continue asking, Zheng Yiqian picked up the teacup on the table, turned around and walked out.

Urumqi, Xinjiang. Because of the dry climate, the cities here are obviously not as large as those in the Jiangnan area, but even so. The streets of Urumqi are still full of people.

Men in gray robes, after wandering around the street, walked briskly into the door of a confined house.

After knocking on the upper knocker slightly, a person leaned out from inside, "You're back, the captain has been waiting for you for a long time, how is it, have you found out?" ”

"Found out." The man nodded slightly. Walked in.

After closing the door, the two went straight into the bedroom, lifted the bedding on it, and saw that in the middle of the bed, a huge wooden board appeared in front of the two of them.

"I'll go down and report to the captain while you're here." The man who had come back from the outside had said a word, turned around and went inside, and the man who opened the door quickly put everything back in place.

"Report to the captain, everything has been found out, tomorrow morning, a hundred members of the Qing army will escort Commander Yuan out of Urumqi, and then enter Sichuan from Gansu. As soon as the man entered, he immediately saluted and reported to a man in the back team who was about thirty years old who was installing a rifle.

There was no answer, and the man was still assembling the rifle.

Click, after assembling the rifle, the man stood up, took out a map from the side, and looked at it.

"Order, all teams leave Urumqi early tomorrow morning and ambush Suni, fifty kilometers outside the city."

"Understood."
