"Negotiation, what negotiation, that is simply a compromise with the Liaodong Army. If this kind of thing spreads www.biquge.info the face of the court will be gone, please think twice! The military department Shangshu, who has been fighting the main battle, seized the last opportunity and asked loudly.

Yuan Shikai frowned, and after taking a deep look at this military secretary who didn't deal with him much, he asked with a smile: "As the military department secretary, Lord Li wants to fight, which is definitely a blessing for the imperial court." But I want to know, Master Li, how are you going to fight? ”

"This!" A hesitant expression immediately appeared on the face of the military department.

Thinking of the various difficulties that Yuan Shikai had just raised, the military department Shangshu, who had already thought of several tactics, was all vetoed by himself in just a few seconds.

In the end, under the gaze of dozens of pairs of eyes in the court, he shook his head helplessly and replied: "The old minister hasn't thought of it yet." But for the sake of the court's face, no matter what, the court cannot take the initiative to compromise. ”

The secretary of the military department who has been clamoring has no choice, let alone other ministers who don't even dare to speak.

In addition to being disappointed, Cixi was more affirmative of the negotiated solution proposed by Yuan Shikai.

However, Cixi is a person who loves face. Although he was very disappointed in the military department Shangshu, the military department Shangshu still said a word to Cixi's heart.

Face, if the court compromises, not only will the face of the court be gone, but she will also lose face, which is definitely not the result that Cixi is willing to see. Therefore, Cixi was disappointed, and a hesitant expression appeared on her face, and she didn't know how to solve this problem.

If the imperial court continues to fight, the first to bear the brunt must be the Beiyang Army, which is closest to Guanwai.

And before the Beiyang Army strengthens its firepower, it will definitely be impossible to go out of the customs to send it to death,

In addition, Yuan Shikai also hoped that the imperial court would allocate some more silver to the Beiyang Army from the tight military spending and buy more weapons. Therefore, at this moment, Yuan Shikai wants this battle to stop more than anyone else.

As soon as he saw Cixi's expression, Yuan Shikai understood Cixi's scruples.

"Queen Mother, the minister has a way to make the Liaodong Army take the initiative to ask the court to surrender, and the court can take this opportunity to recruit the Liaodong Army. Even if it is spread out in the end, it will be the imperial court to take the Liaodong Army without spending a single soldier, and for the imperial court, there are only benefits and no disadvantages. ”

Seeing Cixi's eyes slowly light up, Yuan Shikai changed his tone and continued: "It's just that in order for the Liaodong Army to cooperate with the imperial court to perform this scene well, the imperial court must secretly give the Liaodong Army some benefits. After all, the Liaodong Army is now in full swing. ”

Hearing this, Cixi did not show any unhappy expression on her face.

As a ruler, she has already done this kind of thing more than once.

It's just that the object of doing this kind of thing was the great powers, but now, the object has changed from the great powers to the Liaodong Army, which makes Cixi feel a little aggrieved in her heart.

Since it is a secret transaction, of course, the less people know about it, the better.

After leaving Yuan Shikai and several important ministers behind, Cixi announced her retirement from the court.

At this time, it had been five days since the Liaodong Army took the three prefectures of Chaoyang, and in these five days, the Liaodong Army had done a lot of things.

A large number of officials were transferred from the five cities of Liaodong to make up for and replace the yamen originally appointed and formed by the imperial court in the three prefectures of Chaoyang. As a result, the territory controlled by the Liaodong Army suddenly increased by three cities.

Because the three cities are closer to Kannai and the climate is milder, the total population of the three cities is more than 600,000.

When the government led by Huang Xing began to digest the three cities of Chaoyang, thereby further increasing the power of Liaodong.

The General Staff, which entered Liaodong, had already begun to reorganize all the captives who surrendered.

More than 12,000 prisoners were captured, and after mobilization, more than 11,000 people were willing to join the Liaodong Army.

After replenishing the losses of Zhao Zhigang's Third Division, the General Staff Department directly reorganized them into 17 garrison regiments, and set up recruitment offices in the three cities of Chaoyang to recruit new recruits, so that the 17 garrison regiments could reach full strength. ”

The performance of the Third Division and the government in the three cities of Chaoyang made Yang Xingguo very satisfied.

It is certain that with the territory of the three cities of Chaoyang, the strength of the Liaodong Army will definitely increase greatly as a result.

But in this situation, there was one person in the Liaodong Army who was unhappy, and that was Wang Hu, the commander of the first division.

It has been five days since the troops were assembled, and in the face of Fengtiancheng, who was close at hand, although he had already asked for battle many times, he directly sent troops to take Fengtian.

However, Commander Yang Xingguo's reply to him all the time was to stand still.

No, Wang Hu, who just sent someone to ask for war yesterday, sent someone over again today.

Yang Xingguo frowned, thinking about how to give Wang Hu a reply, and Sun Liechen, the chief of staff, hurriedly walked to his side and whispered.

"Commander, the imperial court has sent someone, he is a commander under Yuan Shikai, he is outside now, do you want to find a place to meet him!"

Yang Xingguo's eyes lit up and said, "I was still thinking about how to reply to Wang Hu just now, but now I don't need to read the reply." Not surprisingly, the imperial court should have compromised, and now it depends on what price the imperial court is willing to pay to keep Fengtian. ”

"Let's go, let's go meet him together and find out the details of the court."

After all, they are all military generals, and as soon as Yang Xingguo came in, the other party stood up and said, "Commander Yang, the imperial court doesn't want to continue fighting." As long as the Liaodong army asks for surrender, the imperial court will crown you as the governor of Liaodong, and at that time, all the military and political power in Liaodong will fall into the hands of Commander Yang. At that time, the Liaodong Governor's Mansion only needed to pay a tax of 500,000 taels of silver to the imperial court every year. ”

The governor of Liaodong is indeed one of the prices that Yang Xingguo wants the imperial court to pay.

However, when he didn't have enough silver, he still asked himself to hand over 500,000 taels of silver every year, which was obviously a pipe dream.

Yang Xingguo did not refute, and stopped Sun Liechen, who wanted to go crazy. Then he sneered at the commander in front of him: "Since this is the case, then I will send troops to Fengtian and take down Fengtian before the imperial decree is issued." ”

"I have gathered 10,000 elites and a large number of artillery pieces in Liaoyang, south of Mukden. I am confident that I will take Mukden in two days at most. As long as the imperial court is willing to give me Fengtian, I will agree to the conditions offered by the imperial court. ”

Yang Xingguo hit the opponent's weakness with a word.

His face changed, and he hurriedly replied: "Commander Yang is angry, we can talk about the conditions again, you must not do anything to Fengtian, otherwise the Liaodong Army and the imperial court will fall into a situation of endless death." I believe that this is not what Commander Yang wants to see. ”

Seeing that the other party had been frightened by himself, Yang Xingguo was also very happy, and replied directly: "First, crown me as the governor of Liaodong; second, the Chaoyang Sanfu Imperial Court, which my Liaodong Army has already taken, does not want it; Third, my Liaodong Governor's Mansion is only a minister, does not listen to announcements, does not listen to tunes, and does not pay taxes to the imperial court; Fourth, lift the blockade of Liaodong. There are four articles in total, and the court agrees, so I will give the court face, not attack Mukden, and ask the court to surrender. ”
