There are only two choices in front of the big head. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

First, the Ming army and horses fought a battle with Yang Chao's army; Second, abandon the army and let others slaughter it.

In the end, the big head brother chose the second one.

To be honest, Yang Chao is still very puzzled by the choice of the big brother, and even a little disappointed, this is the number one hero in the late Qing Dynasty?

Yang Chao has always misunderstood Yuan Shikai, Yuan Shikai is not wrong to be a hero, and it is not wrong for Yuan Shikai to have the courage to gamble, but Yang Chao missed Yuan Shikai's age, Yuan Shikai is already fifty years old.

This age makes the big brother less impulsive and a little more conservative.

The big head brother used to be ambitious, and the big head brother who could write poems like 'Daze Long Fang sting, Central Plains deer is fat' in his teens, how could he not have the ambition to win the world?

But he is different from Cao Cao, he is too big and became a late, and it was not until the Joseon Dynasty that he really began to develop, but he was also thirty years old at that time.

The reason why the eldest brother is afraid of death, in addition to his own timid reasons, there is another reason, that is, the men of his Yuan family are short-lived, from his grandfather, father and several uncles, all died at about fifty-eight, which makes the eldest brother always think that he will not live to be sixty years old.

In other words, he doesn't have a few years to live, the eldest brother has always been very sorry for his life, when he was in North Korea, he has been raising two wet nurses, and he keeps himself alive by drinking milk, just hoping to live a few years longer.

The current situation is that the big brother can't see the slightest possibility of winning the world if he gives it a go, he doesn't have the opportunity, he doesn't have the opportunity like Cao Cao, and sometimes the hero has to see if he encounters a good situation.

The big head brother obviously didn't encounter it.

So after experiencing a complicated political game, after Zhang Zhidong came forward to guarantee that Zaifeng would not kill him, he gave up the Beiyang Army and the Governor of Zhili, and wrote a letter asking for resignation, and Zaifeng approved it as soon as possible.

Yang Chao also sent a telegram to disgust the big brother, if the big head brother was with Yang Chao at that time, he was the first to lead the Beiyang Army to the northeast, and now the honor halo added to Yang Chao's head is the big head brother, and the one who co-opted these bandits in the northeast is naturally the big head brother, who would dare to touch the big head brother at that time.

After receiving the telegram, it is said that the eldest brother vomited blood at that time.

Then he sighed that he was old, because his family had no momentum, so he didn't dare to let go of a war with the Russians, if it was in North Korea twenty years ago, the big head brother would dare to play with the Japanese devils.

The eldest brother lost everything, and the one who inherited his inheritance was Yang Shixiang, who was also a famous minister of the Huai family, and was once promoted by Li Hongzhang.

As for why Zaifeng chose another Huai minister to take over the power in Yuan Shikai's hands, Yang Chao thought of a possibility, that is, Yang Shixiang betrayed Yuan Shikai, although Yuan Shikai is a junior of the Huai lineage, and his qualifications are far less than Zhou Fu and Yang Shixiang, who followed Li Hongzhang during the Huai Army period, but with his own opportunity and efforts, Yuan Shikai is already the de facto leader of the Huai system.

Yang Shixiang was the governor of Shandong at this time, and the reason why he was able to be the governor of Shandong was that I heard that Yuan Shikai was also operating behind him.

In recent years, Chinese officialdom has begun to change drastically, starting from the death of Li Hongzhang, a large group of Western-style loyal ministers, and famous ministers who had risen up early during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, all reached their twilight years and began to wither one by one.

In 1902, Liu Kunyi, a loyal minister of the Hunan system who had been in charge of Liangjiang for a long time, died of illness, and then it was shown that the governor of Jiangning cared for the governor of Liangjiang for a few months, and then Duanfang temporarily acted for more than a year, but after Duanfang became the prime minister in Zhangzhidong north, he succeeded as the governor of Huguang, and he could not be two governors at the same time, so a year later, the imperial court sent Zhou Fu, the governor of Shandong, to take over.

Zhou Fu is a famous minister of the Huai system, a person trusted by Yuan Shikai, Zhou Fu is in Shandong Yuan Shikai rest assured, as soon as Zhou Fu leaves, Yuan Shikai will operate another Huai minister Yang Shixiang as the governor of Shandong, so that Zhilu is one, and Yuan Shikai is more secure in Zhili.

But what Yuan Shikai didn't expect was that Yang Shixiang would betray him, or that Yang Shixiang had other ideas, Yang Shixiang agreed to take over as the governor of Zhili and took over everything that Yuan Shikai had worked so hard to manage.

In the original history, it was also Yang Shixiang who suddenly took over as the governor of Zhili, at that time Yuan Shikai was not willing to go into the wilderness, and ran from Beijing to Tianjin with his wife and children.

But at that time, Yang Shixiang stopped him and refused him to stay in Tianjin to contact the Beiyang Army, and the eldest brother had no choice but to return to his hometown in a low-key manner, wearing a coat every day, dressing up as an old peasant, and fishing in the river, just to make a show for the imperial court.

Thinking of this, Yang Chao suddenly thought that I am afraid that in the original history, Yang Shixiang betrayed Yuan Shikai.

It's just that why Yang Shixiang betrayed, this is definitely not a simple power struggle, it can only come from a personal mentality, maybe Yang Shixiang doesn't want to see Yuan Shikai support the army and be a traitor, he thinks that he wants to help Yuan Shikai with his own concept.

Anyway, after Yang Shixiang succeeded Yuan Shikai as a loyal minister of the Huai family, the Beiyang Army did not change, and Yang Shixiang was able to suppress these people, which is why Zaifeng asked Yang Shixiang to be the governor of Zhili.

In this way, after a political move that was so complicated that no one can ever explain it clearly, Chinese history changed again, that is, the big brother stepped down.

After the big brother steps down, no one can say where the political situation will go, but there is one thing that everyone has reached a consensus now, that is, no matter how the political situation changes in the future, the momentum of a person's upward movement cannot be stopped.

Yang Chao!

The most glorious star of the recovery of the Northeast this time, foreigners can see that Yang Chao will not be able to avoid Yang Chao in future activities in China.

Therefore, when the situation calmed down, after Yang Chao took the train from Jinzhou to Beijing, officials at all levels came to make friends, and at the same time, ministers from various countries also came to ask for a meeting to express their concern and encouragement, and even the Russian minister, who had just restored diplomatic relations and returned to Beijing, visited Yang Chao once.

Everyone agrees that the political trend in the next few years will probably depend on the attitude of this person.

In this way, Yang Chao was summoned by Zaifeng and gave him an unprecedented honor, wearing a yellow vest and led by two eunuchs, from the Forbidden City to the Jinluan Palace.

"Give Yang Chao a mansion, 10,000 acres of farmland!"

"Feng Yang Chao is a first-class uncle, and he is also a cloud knight! Bestow the nickname Huss Baturu! ”

"Crowned Prince Yang Chao Shaobao, promoted to a scholar of Renge University, and awarded the Minister of Military Aircraft."

"Thank you, Lord Ron!"

Well, Yang Chao is developed, and he is a very popular minister at one time.

A house was given in Beijing, and there was an imperial village in Changping, which were all secondary. The crown prince is an honor, the title of university scholar is a fictitious position, and the minister of military aircraft is also in vain. This first-class earl is heavy enough, after pacifying the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Zeng Guofan was only a marquis, Li Hongzhang was a count, and the rest of Zhang Zhidong were all counts, and Liu Kunyi was posthumously awarded a baron after his death.

Yang Chao was once in place as a first-class uncle, tied with Li Hongzhang and Zhang Zhidong, and also got the title of Baturu from the fierce general Liu Mingchuan, which means that the Qing court decided that Yang Chao's defeat of the Russian army could be compared to the merit of pacifying the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and Liu Mingchuan's defeat of the French.

Of course, it is more likely that Zaifeng is still trying to win over Yang Chao, so he is particularly rewarded.

Soon after, he met with Yang Chao and asked about the statecraft.

Yang Chao also made some preparations, and even went back to Shandong, bought a lot of bluffing tools, and planned to teach these old masters a lesson to the court.
