If it weren't for Zai Feng mentioning it, the people in the hall would have almost forgotten Ye Kai's existence, and among all of them, one of the three ministers of the forbidden army whose status was second only to Zai Tao Yulang, was uncharacteristically silent today.

And for Ye Kai, he did this in order to keep quiet and seize the most suitable opportunity, not in how much he said, but in whether he said it in the right place, obviously he took the timing just right, and he had not spoken yet, and he had already achieved a backhand advantage.

At the beginning of the matter, he provoked it single-handedly, and now it is his turn to end, how to answer Zaifeng, Ye Kai has made a good draft from the beginning.

"The regent of the prison country, the minister thinks that what Tao Belle said is very true, Khalkha is disrespectful to the minister, if it is not severely punished, it will leave a disaster, and in the end, I am afraid that the tail will not fall, and if it is not done well, it will follow in the footsteps of Xinjiang again." As soon as Ye Kai came up, he bluntly stated his meaning, severe punishment, severe punishment at that time, and ruthless punching to deal with the splitters.

When he heard this, Zaitao on the side also secretly bent the corners of his mouth, thinking that Ye Kai was on his side.

"So you think you should abolish the feudal domain and establish a province?" Zaifeng said with a frown.

Ye Kai didn't say yes or no, but shook his head slightly, and then said: "No, the abolition of the feudal domain and the establishment of the province are very important, and if you are not careful in handling it, it will definitely backfire, the ambition of the Khalkha wolf, and the tsarist Russia is pressing step by step, if the feudal domain is openly abolished, the most likely consequence is that the two parties will collude, and in turn they will jointly deal with us. ”

Listening to Ye Kai's words, the wrinkles on Zaifeng's brows deepened a few times, his words were unclear, equivalent to playing fifty boards each, and he still didn't explain it, how could this good minister, who had sharp words and unique insight in the past, rarely play officialdom Tai Chi today.

"Liangbi, what do you mean?" Zaifeng was a little smug in his heart.

Seeing the slight change on Zaifeng's face, Ye Kai smiled secretly, it was his appetite that hanged him, and then said at the right time: "Don't worry, the regent, listen to Liangbi continue, the minister thinks that although Tao Beile Lang Beile's words are good, they are all biased, so he should find other ways to deal with it." ”

"Oh? What is your method? Zaifeng finally heard something else, and motioned for Ye Kai to continue.

"Since the Khalkha tribes are too powerful, the imperial court should closely monitor them and divide their powers. The first one is to change the minister stationed in Kulun, which is intended to knock the mountain and shock the tiger, so that those Mobei barbarians dare not make another mistake. ”

Carefully observing Zaifeng's face, the latter's thoughtful expression made Ye Xingxing think that Zaifeng listened to what he said just now, and further said while he was struck while the iron was hot: "The candidate for this minister, the minister recommends Hangzhou General Sanduo, Sanduo is respected and upright, and he will definitely be able to do this errand." ”

The reason why Ye Kai chose Sanduo is first of all because this person has no direct connection with him, which will not arouse Zaifeng's suspicion, and more importantly, let Sanduo achieve this position a year in advance, in the complicated situation in Mongolia, he still has more room to play.

In history, the last minister of the Qing Dynasty in Kulen, as soon as he arrived, he began a drastic reform in the upper echelons of Mongolian power, which naturally touched the interests of those old nobles, Sanduo and the Khalkha supreme leader Jebtsundamba VIII broke out a great conflict, in order to maintain the authority of the central government, directly arrested thousands of troublesome lamas, and at the same time in the treatment of the Russians, he also fought on the basis of reason, did not back down, and ruled Khalkha for two years, it was because of him, Mongolia's sovereignty will not be further encroached upon by Tsarist Russia.

However, the Qing court was worried about internal and external troubles at that time, and the Xinhai Revolution burned its eyebrows, so it had no time to take care of it, and only a few days after driving out Sanduo, Tsarist Russia united with some Mongolian upper-class careerists and brazenly announced that he would support the 8th Jebtsundamba as the emperor and establish the Great Mongol Empire.

Zaifeng thought for a moment, and finally nodded, compared to the drastic approach of abolishing the feudal domain and establishing a province, the transfer of the Kulun minister was much more relaxed, but such a personnel transfer, although it seems that the central government has reservations about Khalkha's rude behavior, it can also be regarded as a sober warning to the Mongolian side.

Although the slap was raised high and gently put down, the person in front of him would always break out in a cold sweat.

"Go on." Thinking about Ye Kai's words just now, Zaifeng urged.

With the foreshadowing just now, Ye Kai went on to say his second suggestion, compared to the previous one, his suggestion is a real knife and a real gun, full of gunpowder.

"The minister asked the regent to send the second town and the third town of the Beiyang Army into Mongolia, and stationed them in Kulun and Kyakhta, an important border town, respectively." After Ye Kai finished speaking, he continued to explain: "Back then, Xinjiang was because there was no heavy garrison, Agu Bai had no fear of rebellion, and Tsarist Russia also blatantly invaded our country. ”

The transfer of the Beiyang Army to Mongolia not only resolved the border crisis to a certain extent, but also benefited Ye Kai greater, so that the Praetorian Guard under his command undoubtedly became the most important force to be reckoned with in the Jingshi region, and the idea of disintegrating Beiyang was also in Zaifeng's arms.

"Hmm," Zaifeng nodded happily.

"The third is to implore the regent to set up a wire between Mongolia and the mainland, so that the court can also know what is happening in Khalkha at the first time."

In fact, Ye Kai originally wanted to add the construction of the railway, but after thinking about it, he gave up, not to mention the terrain of the grassland, it is very difficult and difficult to build a railway, and the most important thing is the problem of funds, where to get millions of taels of money? Borrowing money from foreigners again? I'm afraid that as soon as this news comes out, the public intellectuals in China will be the first to disagree, right? Anyway, this money is not asked for by them, of course they don't care, as long as they stand on a moral height and move their mouths, and by the way, they can also get a good reputation.

"The regent, the dispatch, the garrison, the telegraph, these three go hand in hand, and the current crisis can be solved."

Compared with Zaitao's lofty ambition and Yu Lang's cautiousness, the three items Ye Kai said are more clever in terms of feasibility and practical effect.

"What do you think of these three pieces of advice?" Zaifeng pondered for a moment, then looked at the others.

Ha Hanzhang, Jiang Yanxing and his party naturally stood on Ye Kai's side, not only because Ye Kai had become the core head of the Praetorian Guard Department, but also because of the current situation, everyone could see that Ye Kai's suggestion was more appropriate, and the regent was probably already making a choice in his heart.

"That's good, just what Liangbi said, quasi-play!"

Zaifeng nodded heavily, and he could be regarded as giving the highest instructions for this strange telegram incident.

When he heard Zaifeng's last words, Ye Kai breathed a sigh of relief, the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, according to his character, he would definitely not let down his vigilance until the last moment, and now, he finally completed this plan of killing three birds with one stone as he wished.

Warn the Qing court, knock on the Mongols, and disintegrate the Beiyang.

Ye Kai can imagine what kind of bewildered expression will appear on the face of the Khalkha side when they hear the news, of course they will not sit idly by, and in the same way, Ye Kai does not expect to rely on this measure once and for all, what he needs is to drag out enough time and wait until the day when he holds power, and then inflict the most devastating blow on the insurgents.

For the separatists, in addition to the sword, there is also a pain that will never heal.

"Mongolian barbarians, your time is running out." The conspirator said in his heart.
