Verse 119: I am a rabbit

Yuan Shikai was soon appointed Minister of Settlement of the Three Eastern Provinces. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

This was a new appointment for him, and it did not deprive him of the position of governor of Zhili, so no one had reason to object, and Zhang Zhidong also felt that it was safer for Yuan Shikai to handle foreign affairs.

Sometimes it's obviously giving benefits to others, but it's malicious, Zaifeng thinks like this now, I increase your power, push you into the fire, and give you a handful of roses that look beautiful, but are actually thorny.

As soon as Yuan Shikai took office as Minister of Delivery, ministers of various countries, and newspaper reporters, they all went to him in the hope of finding out his attitude toward Russia.

Yuan Shikai has always said that he hopes that the Russians will withdraw from the northeast as soon as possible, and as for whether China will send troops, Yuan Shikai said that he will first use diplomatic means to resolve it peacefully.

Yuan Shikai did send a note to the Russians, but the Russians ignored him, just as the Qing government asked to participate in the negotiations between Japan and Russia, but they ignored it.

Seeing that Yuan Shikai still had illusions, Yang Chao immediately added a handful of dry firewood under his buttocks, making the fire under his buttocks burn even more.

Yang Chao took out 100,000 taels of silver and disseminated the opinion in newspapers from Shanghai to Beijing that the Beiyang Army was the most powerful army in China, that it was not lost to the armies of any Western country at all, and that it was very eager to defend its homeland and the country, and that if Russia refused to withdraw from the Northeast, China would have the ability to defend itself.

At the same time, Yang Chao really jumped out this time, saying that China should give Russia an ultimatum, the Russian army is on China's territory, this is originally a kind of aggression, this is already a war, don't care about war, don't ask for peace, instead of lingering, it is better to let go of a war.

At this time, the Russians did not pay attention to the note at all, and it was also exposed in the newspapers, and many reporters asked Yuan Shikai, especially the Chinese media, that Yuan Shikai must make his attitude clear, that is, whether he would send troops.

When Yuan Shikai arrived at this, he could only say: "Sending troops is also under consideration!" ”

In February, Russia was even more chaotic.

Two million workers in the country's largest two thousand factories are working in the bar, that is, the Russian big industry is almost paralyzed.

The French jumped up and down, hoping that the Russians would quickly extinguish the flames in the country and make the Qing government restrain them.

Werther's reforms were declared a failure, lamenting sadly that it was too difficult to reform in a people who did not know how to compromise and retreat.

The tsar began to support the newly elected Stolypin in suppression, and the tsar had to do so, even the constitution to bind the imperial power, and those organizations leading the workers did not agree, did not that show that he wanted to abdicate?

How can the struggle for power be without bloodshed.

Stolypin was a man of noble origin, a graduate of St. Petersburg University, who began to serve in the Ministry of Internal Affairs at a very young age, and who became the governor of the province before the age of forty.

There was a vigorous domestic movement, with Werther advocating peace negotiations, compromises with the parties, and a peaceful transition of the country with the Tsar handing over some of his powers, while Stolypin was more radical.

Stolypin insisted on suppressing the rebels, his attitude was that stability was the first to make reform possible, and later set up gallows throughout the country, hanged countless revolutionaries, and for a time the Russian noose was called Stolypin's tie.

Economically, Stolypin advocated private ownership of land, reformed the traditional public ownership economy of village communes in Russia, distributed the land of village communes to peasants as private property, and allowed buying and selling, and later gave loans to rich peasants to buy and purchase land of poor peasants for land concentration, and engaged in a large farm economy.

The evaluation of this man in later generations is very controversial, the Soviet period was rated as the worst executioner, the murderer of the people, and the Russian period is considered the greatest reformer in Russia.

His system of land centralization contributed to the development of the productive forces, and under his reforms, Tsarist Russia became the world's largest grain producer, producing more grain than the United States, Argentina, and Brazil combined before World War I, and the Soviet Union was the largest importer.

Stolypin had a slogan, "They (the revolutionaries) need great upheaval, we need Great Russia", and he personally led a team to the countryside to exterminate the rebellious peasants, saying that where he died, he would be buried. He also told the newspaper: "Give the country twenty years, and she will become unrecognizable to you." ”

It is clear that later generations of Ptsars borrowed this phrase, because Putin idolized Stolypin, a strongman like Pukkgb.

But it is true that Stolypin is an iron-fisted man, but he wants to suppress the domestic people, how can he draw troops to fight against the Qing army, his predecessor Witte is a pacifist, but he is an active expansionist, expansion to the northeast is Witte's political achievements, and the Russo-Japanese War was caused by him.

The handover of the two and the impact on the situation, Yang Chao can't say well.

However, it is also very necessary to send troops as soon as possible, fight a battle, and test the depths.

Regardless of 3721, drive in first, fight him, and there will be big powers such as Britain, France, Germany, and the United States to play the game in life or death.

So Yang Chao began to scold Yuan Shikai in the newspaper as a traitor, holding heavy troops but not thinking of serving the country, the imperial court gave him full authority to solve the Northeast problem, but did not dare to drive the Beiyang Army to the Northeast, this is a typical warlord traitor.

Of course, this is an advertorial written by someone, not Yang Chao himself, but Yuan Shikai definitely knows who is behind the trouble.

Yuan Shikai finally went berserk, and his voice became tougher, saying that the Qing Dynasty was considering sending troops, but the scolding was still endless.

Three days later, Yuan Shikai announced that he would transfer the Shandong Road Protection Group to the Northeast to protect the road.

Yang Chao was a little dumbfounded this time, and asked him to play as a striker, but Yuan Shikai could figure it out.

Yang Chao originally planned to follow the Beiyang Army, what is the level of his 50,000 people, he still knows it, from September to October, he has been training for five months now, and he is generally able to shoot, the marksmanship is uneven, and the cannon will not be used at all, that is, there is no artillery at all.

So will Yang Chao go?

Go!

Gotta go.

He knew very well that Yuan Shikai didn't plan to go into battle shirtless first, even if he originally understood that it would be beneficial for him to fight a battle, but he still wanted Yang Chao to fight first, just like when he was sandwiched between the Qing court and the revolutionary army, one side threatened the court with the revolutionary army, and the other side used abdication to fool the revolutionary army, taking advantage of both ends, and finally he became president.

Now Yuan Shikai obviously still wants to play a balance hand in the middle, although he can't get the greatest benefit by following others, but it is safer, so he must let Yang Chao fight first, and then see the reaction of the outside world, if the Russians retreat, he will immediately enter the northeast to pick peaches, if the Russians are tough, it will also be Yang Chao's loss.

"It's really not a rabbit or an eagle, it's all up to this, and we must see a bright future. No wonder you can't be the emperor, you don't dare to be willing to be the emperor, just rely on calculations to become the emperor? ”

Yang Chao felt that he used to think highly of Yuan Shikai, this person really didn't have that much courage, he had the ability and scheming of a hero, but he lacked the single-mindedness of a hero who dared to press everything.

But with a heavy army in hand, he did grasp the initiative, if Yang Chao didn't want to see the opportunity slip away in vain, he could only lead his troops to do a battle, and watched Yuan Shikai come to pick fruits, fame and fortune.

"There's no way, who let the family have a working army in their hands. Without him, I really can't stabilize the situation, relying on my 50,000 soldiers? And the 100,000 bandits in the Northeast? ”

Yang Chao knew that he was the rabbit that Yuan Shikai was staring at, and if he didn't see himself going up and working hard, Yuan Shikai would not follow.

"Lao Tzu, this rabbit is decided!"

Yang Chao thought sadly and angrily, and then immediately took action, contacted the Jinpu Railway, and ordered all the soldiers to prepare to get on the train and go to the Northeast!
