(1st Update)

When the day came, Ye Kai walked out of the tent and took a deep breath of the coolness in the morning light. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

From the binoculars, the Anglo-French forces had set up camp outside the concession, and the two sides entered a brief standoff.

"Dashuai, the foreign devils didn't come in, and it was safe in the concession last night."

Lu Shuangming rushed to report, looking at his appearance, I was afraid that he didn't close his eyes all night.

"Got it, Han Chu, you go down and rest." Ye Kai said.

"Dashuai.." At the moment of the great enemy, Lu Shuangming was a little hesitant.

"Go back, they won't come up for a while, they're waiting for us to retreat on our own."

"Retreat on your own?" Lu Shuangming didn't understand it even more.

Ye Kai said: "Last night, the cabinet removed me from my post and asked me to lead troops to evacuate the concession. ”

"Huh?!"

Lu Shuangming was also shocked, and after thinking about it, he understood, gritted his teeth hatefully, and said, "Why is Yi-Liang so flattering to foreigners?" ”

"Since the Treaty of Xincho, China has been the court of foreigners."

Ye Kai said, not to mention that the foreigners in Dongjiaomin Lane have an independent kingdom, and even there are garrisons of foreigners along the Beijing-Tianjin Railway, which is undoubtedly choking China's neck.

"The marshal really wants to withdraw his troops?"

Lu Shuangming shouldn't have asked this question, but when it came to this, he still couldn't help but ask, after all, he was the direct commander of the 3,000 Praetorian Guards, and behind him were millions of people in Shanghai.

"Withdraw? Why withdraw? Ye Kai turned his head and said: "As long as we stay one more day, Yi-Liang will be embarrassed for one more day, and when the people of the whole country rise up to attack it, the day of Yi-Liang's fall will not be far away." ”

"The foreigner..."

Lu Shuangming pointed to the distance and said, he was not afraid, but he felt that foreigners would not fight, and they would not retreat, and he was really uncomfortable.

"Foreigners won't really fight, they just threaten China." Ye Kai said firmly.

Now in the second half of 1910, the clouds of war over Europe are thick, at this juncture, the West will not start a large-scale war with China, and China's national strength is far from being comparable to ten years ago, since the New Deal, China's economy has entered a golden period of development, this trend continued until the end of the First World War, only in terms of GDP, China is still the largest country in the Far East. From a more direct point of view, the new-style army has already trained more than 200,000 troops, and there is no generational gap in weaponry.

Not only will Westerners not fight with China, on the contrary, they will rush to be friends with China, the Western world has been separated into two super camps at the moment, the Entente and the Allied Powers, as early as 1907, Germany did everything possible to win over China, and the increasingly rumored Sino-German-American alliance is also very noisy at this time, once this alliance is established, the strength of the Allies will be greatly increased, just imagine: Germany is the most powerful country in Europe, the United States is the richest country in the Americas, China is the largest country in Asia, once the three countries are united, whether it is scientific and technological strength, The total amount of resources, personnel and geography far exceeded that of the Entente countries, and in the eyes of the people at that time, the ambition of the Three Kingdoms to dominate the world was not a dream.

However, at that time, China was still in the era of diplomatic obscurantism, and it still thought that the Western powers were monolithic, so in response to the idea of this alliance, the majority of the countries in the country were ******, and no one would be offended if either side did not join.

Therefore, Ye Kai judged that the reason why the foreigners are so enthusiastic is not to fight, but to scare China, and their consideration is nothing more than to protect their vested interests in China, which is their cheese that cannot be touched lightly.

Maybe even they didn't expect the Chinese to fight back?

And Ye Kai's plan is also based on this key point.

If Shanghai continues to be tense, the national sentiment of the whole country will inevitably be stimulated, and when that time comes, the throne of Yi-Xuan will inevitably be shaken, and Ye Kai will be able to seize greater benefits.

The establishment of the Pudong New Area, the establishment of the stock exchange, the formation of the Shanghai New Army, the construction of the Nanjing-Shanghai Railway, the reorganization of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau... Wait, it won't be a fool's dream.

All of this will be known in a few days.

The facts are not much different from what Ye Kai expected, the news of the landing of the British and French troops in Shanghai spread throughout the country, and quickly triggered a frenzy of public opinion in all provinces and localities, this time, whether it is an old scholar or a new-style youth, whether it is a constitutionalist or a revolutionary party, and even the gang organizations such as the Youth Gang, Hongmen, and the Elders' Association, have joined the ranks of protests, and the streets and alleys are almost full of spittle stars for the arrogant behavior of foreigners.

Outside the Shanghai Concession, the confrontation had lasted until the third day, and the withdrawal order issued by the cabinet to Ye Kai had accumulated an astonishing thirteen letters, and the tone on them was tougher than the other, almost to the point of insulting and insulting, and the words "captured," "killed," and "brought to justice" no less than ten times.

Far north of the concession, the foreigners' army has a tendency to move, and presumably a good scenery has been staged in Dongjiaomin Alley.

Ye Kai has been forbearing, and today it is finally time to fight back.

The whole country is thundering, the time is finally ripe, all it takes is a spark, and the whole plain will be ablaze.

"Howling Light!"

"Humble Duty"

"First, immediately send a telegram to Liang Qichao, saying that the situation in Shanghai is in crisis, and ask all the members of the Senior Council to convene an emergency regular meeting to discuss major matters, and this matter should be done quickly. Second, these thirteen dismissal orders will be published in the newspaper as they are, whether they are Chinese newspapers or foreign newspapers, they must be given and cannot be omitted, and third, it will be announced to China and foreign countries that from today onwards, this governor will announce that he will go to the field for the second time, and the military power will be handed over to Cheng Dequan, the governor of Liangjiang, and no outsiders will be seen during the period of this governor's seclusion. ”

Zhang Xiaoguang was stunned.

Ye Kai asked loudly, "Are you clear?" ”

Fortunately, Zhang Xiaoguang reacted in time.

"Yes!"

Everything has to be fast, Ye Kai is rushing for time.

The news spread along the wire to the headquarters of the Xianyou Association, and at first glance, the entire party headquarters of the Liang Mansion was boiling.

"Yi-Xuan, this country-thief, actually exempted the good man!" (To be continued.) )
