(1st Update)

At about 9:30 a.m. on September 16, 1911, a sudden news detonated the entire capital: the alliance between China and Britain. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This is a big news that has never been seen before, and as soon as the news came out, it attracted almost everyone's attention.

First of all, the news of the alliance was not officially announced, but the revelation of the "Beijing News", which first reported the news of the Sino-British alliance, which used several large pages to publish all the contents of the "Sino-British Secret Treaty" in detail, and then four newspapers reprinted it at the same time, and the printing and distribution of more than 30,000 copies was almost swept away.

After that, less than half an hour later, the newspaper was seized by the police, the original printed version was confiscated, and the newspapers that were distributed were being recovered one after another; 10 minutes later, the other four newspapers were also subjected to the same treatment, and the police dispatched thousands of people to carry out a nationwide blockade, and even threatened to arrest those involved in the case.

These two double reeds have made almost everyone believe that no matter whether the news of the "Beijing News" is true or not, the rumors of the "Sino-British alliance" are by no means groundless, and this is exactly in someone's hands.

Eight hours ago, Yi Liang sent Liang Dunyan and Zhu Erdian for the last time for talks, the meeting lasted until one o'clock in the morning, at the last moment the two sides reached an agreement, Zhu Erdian agreed to make some changes to the terms, mainly the first point: no longer insist on the demand for the priority withdrawal of Chinese troops, but choose to go north by boat, to Weihaiwei stationed, and then will conduct joint exercises with the Qing Dynasty cruiser army (Beiyang Fleet), and withdraw from China after three months, during this period, the Chinese side must ensure the immediate withdrawal of troops in the concession, British ** The right to change the dispute is reserved according to the actions of the Chinese side, which not only saves the face of the British Empire, but also allows the dispute to be resolved peacefully, and both sides finally get what they need.

Yi-Xuan's mind is self-evident, and it can even be called a scheming.

Since Liangbi can't talk about who to withdraw troops first, and the British just want to save face, it is better to start with the latter, as long as the British evacuate Shanghai, everything will be easy to do, so he came up with a plan to let the British go north, after all, there is no second "Liangbi" there, as for how to withdraw, in what name? Then it can't be done well, and it is just right to use this "Sino-British Secret Treaty" to achieve this natural purpose.

And that's not all.

The withdrawal of troops is just the beginning, what he has to do is to dispel all the impeachments of the Senate against him, and the appearance of the "Sino-British Secret Treaty" can just divert the people of the whole country to pursue and intercept him, since China and Britain are allies, there is no such thing as "invasion" or "invasion", this is just a friendly and proper and sincere military exchange, but it involves state secrets, and it is not conveyed to the outside world at the first time, so the fanfare of the Senate is completely unnecessary, misunderstanding, it is purely a misunderstanding, and the previous tense confrontation, It can also be understood as a "deep exchange" between military allies.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, and the Liangbi and foreigners have been settled, and now there is only one question left, how to publish this "secret contract", or how to change the secret contract to an open contract?

Liang Dunyan's suggestion is that the news is accidentally leaked, and then blocked the news with great fanfare, so that this secret agreement will be more authentic, and this practice of no silver three hundred taels here also makes the outside world unable to figure out whether this is true or false, in line with the principle of rather believing it, most of the public will believe it, at least they will pay attention to it, after all, few people in this era feel that the government jokes.

At this point, a big lie takes shape.

After making up his mind, Yi immediately instructed Jae Zhen to spread the news, mainly in the newspaper industry, and Zai Zhen was familiar with it, and it was not difficult to do.

In the end, in order to make this "secret treaty" look not like an alliance under the city, in the content of the secret contract secretly handed over to the newspaper, Yi-Liang moved slightly, and the additional terms were naturally all deleted, and in terms of date, he also made necessary deletions, which also caused confusion among the public, and it was impossible to distinguish whether this secret agreement had been signed for a long time or was forced to sign, Yi-Liang was very clear that at this time, no one would doubt this small problem.

In this way, a logical chain has been formed, this so-called "conflict", before and after, as it is, is a misunderstanding, the public misunderstands the deployment of the cabinet, the local governors misunderstand the plan of the central government, and the Chinese people misunderstand the intentions of the foreigners.

As a veteran of the newspaper industry, Yang Du certainly knew the stakes here, so after getting the news, he reported to Liang Qichao as soon as possible.

"Zhuo Ru, that's what happened, I guess either Yi-Xuan drew his salary from the bottom of the kettle and created such a secret contract, or it was true, and it was leaked out at this time, but no matter which one it is, it will be very disadvantageous to us..."

After Yang Du finished speaking truthfully, the audience was shocked.

"Huizi, what you said is true?!"

As an academic, Liang Qichao is very qualified, but in terms of conspiracy methods, he is far inferior to those dirty politicians, and the plot has been reversed, and he still can't believe it.

"This...."

At this time, he suddenly remembered Ye Kai's words.

"Ladies and gentlemen, no matter what, let's wait and see what happens, in the afternoon, let's go to the Senior Council for a meeting as usual, as for impeachment or not, depending on the situation, it will be said that this secret agreement may not be true."

Everyone looked at each other, and for the sake of the future, there was only one way to do it.

"Listen to the chairman, let's take a look in the afternoon, haha, if you want me to say, this is a trick made by Yi-Gang Dog jumping over the wall in a hurry, and the more he does this, the more it means that he is exhausted."

Lin Changmin hurriedly came out to play the round, and everyone barely had a little vitality.

"Let's go and see you in the afternoon."

Changing from active to passive, it seemed that it was only for a moment, and for some reason, Liang Qichao suddenly had a feeling that the road under his feet was difficult to walk. (To be continued.) )
