To tell the truth, Zhao Erfeng hopes that he can get Liaodong's assistance, he needs this batch of fires, but whether Liaodong will still give himself aid, he doesn't know, he just knows that even if Liaodong doesn't give him aid, he will have to fight the British. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

With a creak, the door was pushed open, and Zhao Erfeng, who was wearing a first-class official uniform, looked up, and the person who came in was his deputy general Tashi.

"What's the matter, does Liaodong have a response?" Seeing that Tashi didn't speak, Zhao Erfeng's heart was full of disappointment, and he estimated that Liaodong would not give him any assistance.

"My lord, Wu Peifu has called, the 5,000 rifles and 110 machine guns plus 53 field guns that Liaodong has provided this time have begun to be loaded, and they will be transported to Lhasa in the fastest possible time, and in addition, they have also given us 3.5 million taels of silver."

Good man, Zhao Erfeng, who heard this, stood up excitedly, maybe, these weapons, for Liaodong, it is a piece of cake, not enough to worry about at all, but in his eyes, these are treasures, treasures that can resist the British, he now has 30,000 people, of which 20,000 people use outdated Mauser rifles, and the troops equipped with new rifles are only 3,000 people. will become the main force of resistance to the British.

"Okay, call me back Wu Peifu and say that on behalf of the Tibetan people, I thank the Liaodong Army for its support." After saying this, Zhao Erfeng looked at Tashi in front of him and said again: "In addition, send a telegram to Wu Peifu, and I invite their troops to enter Lhasa, Tibet." ”

"My lord, what are you?" Tashi was taken aback when he heard Zhao Erfeng's words, and let the Liaodong army enter Lhasa, which meant that Tibet was out of the control of the imperial court and officially became the jurisdiction of Liaodong.

"Tashi, don't you still understand that if we want to ensure that Tibet is not invaded by others, we can only find a big backer, and this backer can only be done in Liaodong, and the imperial court is no longer good."

Zhao Erfeng's words are a little sad, but at the same time, they are also telling the truth, look at what the imperial court has done over the years.

Regardless of national security, privately use the money used to buy military supplies to build palaces, regardless of the lives of the people, increase the intensity of tax collection, and make the people angry, such a court, there is no way out, rather than this, it is better to take refuge in Liaodong, so as to find a safe guarantee for Tibet and for this sentence.

"My lord, I understand what you mean, but you have to know that it is better for you to send a letter to Baoji for this matter, after all, now, the marshal of Liaodong is in Baoji." ‘

Liu Jun came to Baoji, Zhao Erfeng was taken aback when he heard this, he always thought that Liu Jun was still in Lushun, but judging from the adjutant's statement just now, Liu Jun had actually arrived in Baoji, which showed that Liu Jun had begun to act against the imperial court.

"You go and make arrangements, and after the operation, send an official letter to the imperial court, saying that my Tibet will leave the imperial court and officially join Tibet."

"Understood, sir." Tashi nodded, turned and walked out.

Hahaha......... Baoji, in Liu Jun's office, I don't know why, Liu Jun actually laughed out loud after reading the telegram on the table a few times, and Zhong Lin also knew that the telegram on it was not a telegram sent by Wu Peifu, saying that the arms had been shipped.

"Head, what are you laughing at?" Zhong Lin is always white, why is Liu Jun laughing.

"I'm laughing, Zhang Zhidong's letter directly pushed Tibet to our side, and I also saved time negotiating with Zhao Erfeng."

What do you mean, Liu Jun said such a sentence in a daze, which made Zhong Lin even more puzzled, even Zheng Yiqian, who was on the side, widened her eyes, not knowing what Liu Jun wanted to express.

"I don't understand what you're talking about, are you stupid." Zheng Yiqian said this sentence directly on the sofa next to her.

De, it seems that there is no clear explanation, Liu Jun, who smiled slightly, picked up the telegram and said: "The Chengdu telegram and the Tibetan telegram confirm that the reason why Zhao Erfeng asked us for weapons was entirely because Zhang Zhidong wrote him a letter, and the content of the letter was because Zhao Erfeng knew that the imperial court might divide Tibet into India. “

"Head, I kind of understand what you mean, you mean that Zhao Erfeng wants to break away from the imperial court and then join us."

It is very likely that Zhao Erfeng is a patriotic person, if he doesn't want Tibet to give India like this, then he has two ways to go, the first way, that is, to use Tibet's terrain and troops, and the British to fight each other, but this road, Zhao Erfeng does not have, or he does not have an advantage in military strength, and the second is to take refuge in Liaodong and let the Liaodong army enter Lhasa, in this way. Tibet can be preserved.

"That's right, Zhao Erfeng is a person who understands, and with his strength, he can't complete the matter of protecting Tibet, so I estimate that Zhao Erfeng will make a request to let us enter Tibet." Liu Jun said with an oath.

It's really fake, Zhong Lin and Zheng Yiqian, who heard this, looked distrustful, after all, this is too unbelievable and untrustworthy.

Knock knock knock........ There was a sound of footsteps outside, and the three of them looked back and saw that the person who came in was Wang Shizhen, only to see that Wang Shizhen picked up a telegram in his hand.

"Marshal, Zhao Erfeng, the Tibetan minister in Tibet, sent a telegram hoping that our army would be stationed in Lhasa."

What's wrong? After speaking, Wang Shizhen's eyes widened when she saw Zhong Lin and Zheng Yiqian, and asked suspiciously.

"Head, you're really a fairy." Zhong Lin, who gave a thumbs up, told what had just happened.

Even Zhang Liang back then didn't have such great ability, and after hearing Zhong Lin finish speaking. Wang Shizhen's eyes widened, and he looked at Liu Jun like a ghost.

Liu Jun, who waved his hand, smiled, then stood up and looked at a few people in front of him and said: "Give Wu Peifu an order, order, the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth armies under his jurisdiction 60,000 people, immediately march to Lhasa, in addition, the northwest military and government will be handed over to Chang Gung, Wu Peifu will enter Lhasa, and serve as the military governor of Tibet, in addition, Zhao Erfeng will be awarded the rank of lieutenant general, and serve as Wu Peifu's assistant to assist in the defense of Tibet. In addition, the official road of Tibet was learned about the Aba area of Sichuan. ”

Like a few family treasures, Liu Jun quickly gave an order, and Zhong Lin on the side was quickly recording the order, but at this moment, no one was surprised in Wang Shizhen's heart. (To be continued.) )
