Section 4: Before the person arrived, he arrived

Things went much smoother than Yang Chao imagined, because soon Hans found Yang Chao again, and handed Yang Chao a fragment of a plum bottle that the governor had been shattered to the point that people couldn't bear to look at it directly, and at the same time handed Yang Chao a letter for Yang Chao to take to see Yuan Shikai. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Therefore, Yang Chao does not need to pass through Yeshike step by step, and then let Yuan Shikai remember himself, Yang Chao can go directly to meet Yuan Shikai, although under the banner of the Germans, there is a bit of a fox and a fake tiger taste, but Yang Chao doesn't care.

Seeing that the large plum vase with a white background and black flowers, which was originally nearly half a meter high, could not find a fragment larger than a palm, Yang Chao couldn't help but marvel at the cats of the governor's wife, which simply had the destructive power of a full-level bear child.

Broken into this hanging sample, it is estimated that the best curium porcelain craftsman will also have a big head, but the curium porcelain craftsman can't repair it, it doesn't mean that Yang Chao can't repair it, the spaceship commander in the interstellar era, it's not easy to do this thing.

It's just that Yuan Shikai won't be needed in this way, at least Yuan Shikai won't be needed to help, but Yang Chao still decided to meet Yuan Shikai, and he can't just go to see him.

The next day, Yang Chao set off, accompanied by two German soldiers, one of whom was Wilhelm.

Let two German soldiers follow, this is Yang Chao's request, the reason is that the road is not safe, Hans did not think much about it, and immediately assigned two German soldiers through the governor to follow, in fact, if it is not a private matter, he will not only send two soldiers.

But two is enough, because Yang Chao is just pretending to be a force, pretending to be a force in front of Yuan Shikai, a Chinese protected by German soldiers, presumably this way of appearing is enough for Yuan Shikai to remember himself.

As for what to do after remembering, Yang Chao himself didn't think of it.

The governor seemed to really attach great importance to this vase, or rather the governor wanted to show off in front of the distinguished guests he was about to entertain, and even sent his carriage to take Yang Chao to Jinan, but the governor did not see Yang Chao, still showing the arrogance of the Germans.

Qingdao is five or six hundred miles away from Jinan, before the Jiaoji railway has not been repaired, this road will take at least ten days, and the road will pass through Dengzhou, Laizhou, Qingzhou, Jiaozhou, Gaomi, Weixian, Changle, Zibo, Zhangqiu and other counties.

Yang Chao was not in a hurry at all, he sat in the car with two soldiers, and in front of him was the governor's German coachman who drove from state to county, and before he arrived at a state or county, Yang Chao had to visit the local government.

And these officials have big heads when they see foreigners, and the closer they get to Qingdao, the more so, and the county commander can't never hear from foreigners, because every time he hears news from foreigners, it often means that something has happened, that is, a diplomatic incident, and if he doesn't get it right, he will lose his official position, and it is not impossible to even kill his head.

The most nervous is the Gaomi County Order, and it is close to Jiaozhou Bay, and it is the necessary place for the Jiaoji Railway, and the most important thing is that last year there was a protest by the Gaomi people caused by the construction of the railway, the Germans opened a big killing, and the former magistrate was also dismissed, and the current magistrate obviously does not want to follow the example.

Although he was extremely reluctant to deal with foreigners, he was still very cautious and personally walked out of the Yamen to greet Yang Chao and others under the banner of the governor of Qingdao, but when he saw a young man with a Chinese appearance walking down from the carriage, Zhixian Qian Ding couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

The old coachman with a curly wig, two soldiers with Mauser rifles on their backs, and in the middle turned out to be a Chinese wearing a suit and short hair, this situation was not expected by Qian Zhixian in his dream, and he was immediately a little confused, until Yang Chao hugged his fist to him and bowed slightly, he reacted and quickly bowed in return.

"Dare to ask what is the name of the gentleman? But I'm a Qing people? ”

The magistrate was a little confused about Yang Chao's details, and asked with a bit of timidity in his tone.

Although Yang Chao is using the background of the Germans, the more he does this, the more he does not want to bully others, the more humble he becomes, and he replied very politely.

"Returning to my lord, the villain is the interpreter of the Qingdao Governor's Office. In the name of Governor Yeshk, he went to Jinan to meet Lord Yuan. Passing by Guibao Land, it is late, I want to stay for one night, but I am not familiar with the place, so I ask to see the adults, I don't know if I can help arrange an inn? ”

Yang Chao said in one breath, of course he is not only for this purpose, since he has played the banner of the Germans, and the things of the fox and the fake tiger have been done, then do it once and receive all the effects that should be done, so let these officials know as much as possible, and let Yuan Shikai know that it is of course important for Yuan Shikai to know himself, and it is not harmful to beat rabbits with grass and let more officials know themselves.

So he came to see Zhixian specifically for this trivial matter, and several Germans did not understand the language and were not familiar with the road, so they were arranged by Yang Chao.

"That's all? It's easy to hear! ”

When the magistrate heard that it was not a diplomatic incident, it was just such a trivial matter, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and immediately arranged it, of course, it was not an inn, but a post station of the government, and instructed him to clean it up well, and not to neglect the distinguished guests.

At the same time, this Qian Ding has an extremely strong curiosity about Yang Chao's identity, a Chinese, a translator, but he is acting for the governor, and he directly asks to see a big man like Yuan Shikai, the German governor, Yuan Shikai, these are all characters he cannot afford to offend, and what is the origin of Yang Chao sandwiched between these two?

After the county commander personally arranged the post station, he didn't say anything, and soon sent someone to invite Yang Chao to the government for a gathering.

As Yang Chao expected, the magistrate had already set up a banquet and invited Yang Chao alone.

He was full of wine and food, and talked happily, but Yang Chao was always ambiguous and refused to reveal his intention to find Yuan Shikai, only saying that it was a private matter of the governor.

The private affairs that the Germans think are inconsequential, but in the ears of the county commander, it is even more simple, because in the understanding of the Chinese, official affairs do not matter, and private affairs are generally handled by henchmen, so although they did not find out the details of Yang Chao, they suspected that Yang Chao was a close confidant of the governor of Qingdao, but Yang Chao's Chinese status made it difficult for them to accept it for a while.

After the banquet, the magistrate immediately wrote a letter, sent someone to Jinan to hand it over to Yuan Shikai, for him, this is also an opportunity to tie up Yuan Shikai, report the matter to Yuan Shikai in advance, if you can help anything, maybe you can get the recognition of this officialdom celebrity who is trusted in the eyes of Li Hongzhang's Huaijun Group or the Empress Dowager Cixi, and then he will be able to soar in the future.

Yang Chao himself had not yet arrived in Jinan, and the news of his party reached Jinan and Yuan Shikai's ears.

Yang Chao had expected this situation for a long time, and he knew that the Chinese officials' feelings towards foreigners at this time were both repulsive and fearful, but in fact, everything was caused by the lack of understanding between different cultures.

Chinese feel that foreigners are arrogant, so they are both afraid and resistant, and when they have to come into contact, they will also be careful; Foreigners feel that Chinese people are difficult to deal with, difficult to communicate, obviously a simple matter, once involved in the Chinese government, it will become very complicated, a small local government will not do well, will be stabbed to the central government, let the imperial court decide.

So in the end, foreigners entrusted a large number of Chinese to do things, forming a comprador class, and Chinese officials were more willing to communicate with these compradors.

Yang Chao decided that under the banner of the German governor, he would definitely get the attention of the government along the way, and he would report it immediately.

The next day, Yang Chao continued on the road, but this time it was not just a few of them, Gaomi Zhixian also sent a few government soldiers to protect them, because Gaomi had an armed conflict against the Germans, so he didn't dare to let Yang Chao and a few people go on the road alone.

After that, Weixian, Changle and other most of them were like this, and when they arrived in Qingzhou Mansion, the prefect even sent a team of horses to protect them.

When Yang Chao saw Jinan City, he already had more than a hundred guards around him, and thirty of them were cavalrymen on horseback.

And Yuan Shikai had already sent people to wait outside Jinan City early, and it seemed that Yuan Shikai had already been closely watching Yang Chao's every move.

Yang Chao saw this situation and knew that he had gotten what he wanted, Yuan Shikai must have paid attention to himself, of course, he couldn't pay attention to this kind of posture.
