Yuan Shikai was arrested, what does this mean? No one knows better than Yuan Shikai.

hesitated to blockade the capital, but now the whole capital already knows that Wang Sirui, who led the 'Han army' to defeat the foreigners, is not dead.

Instead, Wang Sirui became a favorite of the imperial court, and his subordinates not only became the squire of the military department, but also served as a member of the military reform team.

Although Wang Sirui himself did not hold any position, he was only a chagrin some time ago.

But Yuan Shikai also analyzed his current situation based on these only clues.

Wang Sirui has taken control of the capital, and not only that, but he has also controlled the entire royal family. And his holy decree, even the message sent to him, Li Hongzhang's henchman, has been controlled by Wang Sirui.

Summoning Yuan Shikai into Beijing is nominally light, but in fact? Needless to say, the reality has already told everyone, what does Wang Sirui want to do?

He didn't come to share the world with Yuan Shikai, but to ask for Yuan Shikai's life, otherwise, why did he lure Yuan Shikai into Beijing?

And seeing this news that the whole capital knows, but it is still blocked from the outside world?

Yuan Shikai was brought into the barracks by hundreds of soldiers with a face full of ashes, and then locked up in a room without any windows on all sides, and in the dark night, only a dim oil lamp flickered, emitting that faint light.

At this moment, Yuan Shikai didn't know what to think in his heart? But what he can't understand is why Wang Sirui is in such a hurry to attack himself? Could it be that the right army of Wuwei in his hands made Wang Sirui feel threatened?

"My lord, we have caught Yuan Shikai." Ma Sanru woke up Wang Sirui overnight, but he seemed to feel that something was missing, and continued: "I have confirmed it, this time it is true. ”

"I'm going to meet him!" Wang Sirui immediately got up from the bed, and then put on his clothes in a hurry.

Yuan Shikai, although he is now fledgling, is more or less a hero. Moreover, Yuan Shikai also left his name in history, and it also affected the future history of China.

According to Wang Sirui's original prediction, in fact, after the New Year, the gateway to the capital should be opened, and controlling the capital cannot only enter or exit, which is also not conducive to his own development.

However, the threat given to him by Yuan Shikai still made Wang Sirui temporarily put aside this matter, and he had to order Ma Sanru to search Yuan Shikai with all his might.

At the same time, another group of people also rushed to Shandong to check whether Yuan Shikai had returned to Shandong.

However, the news brought back not only made Wang Sirui more sure of his thoughts, but also made Wang Sirui secretly sweat.

Nearly 20,000 people of Yuan Shikai's Wuwei Right Army and the vanguard of the Wuwei Right Army were deployed on the front line of Dezhou, to put it mildly, once Yuan Shikai escaped, he would inevitably vigorously develop the military, or forcibly attack the capital.

Wang Sirui coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, which is a bad thing for the heroes of the world, but it is also a good thing. At least at some point, they dare to blatantly disobey the will of the 'court', and they will not be blamed too much by the world for doing so.

Of course, there are also some foolish and loyal people who will unite and go north to attack the king, and everything is possible.

And Yuan Shikai, the only opponent who can make Wang Sirui feel the pressure, Wang Sirui must take it down before everything develops.

Even if it can't be taken, Yuan Shikai's Wuwei Right Army must find a reason to disband, at least to have a slight moral advantage.

And now, there is no need to worry about all this, since Yuan Shikai has been caught, then the rest of the matter is much easier.

In fact, Yuan Shikai's subordinates are not all monolithic, otherwise, after Yuan Shikai died in history, why would they split into several forces?

Under the leadership of Ma Sanru, Wang Sirui came to the room where Yuan Shikai was held.

At this moment, Yuan Shikai was looking confused, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his head?

"Lord Yuan, it's been a long time! Please forgive the little brother for inviting Lord Yuan to come over for a gathering in this way, and the little brother is also forced to do so! After entering the room, Wang Sirui first spoke.

For Yuan Shikai, Wang Sirui has respect, and he also has the idea of being quick after that, but no matter what, Yuan Shikai at this stage is still of some use to Wang Sirui.

"Sure enough, it's a dragon and phoenix among people!" After seeing Wang Sirui, Yuan Shikai already knew the identity of the other party, but since he had been arrested, Yuan Shikai didn't think about it so much, but evaluated his first impression of Wang Sirui very objectively.

"We don't need to say more about these nonsense, what is not a dragon and a phoenix? As long as you can get to this point, no matter who you are, you can be so praised. Wang Sirui shook his head with a smile, and immediately sat on a chair and sat opposite Yuan Shikai.

Yuan Shikai smiled and did not respond to Wang Sirui's words, but in his heart he admired Wang Sirui very much, at least from this short contact, Yuan Shikai felt that Wang Sirui was different from others, and he seemed to be more inclined to be a doer.

"Isn't Lord Yuan curious why the junior brother invited Lord Yuan over in this way?" Seeing that Yuan Shikai didn't mean to speak again, Wang Sirui couldn't help but ask.

"If you want to speak, Yuan can't stop it, and if you don't want to speak, Yuan can't know. Now that he is a prisoner, what does it matter if he knows? Yuan Shikai said with a frank face. He knew very well that it was impossible for him to get out of this barracks again, and if nothing else, Wang Sirui should make a move on his army next.

And Yuan Shikai also knew very well that his army was not Wang Sirui's opponent at all. An army that has gathered strength and is ready to strike a fatal blow at any time, it is still easy to take down an army without a leader.

"I don't want to see our Han people's children die in that senseless battlefield again!" Wang Sirui said meaningfully, ignoring the solemnity of Yuan Shikai's face, and continued to explain: "These are the foundations of my Huaxia, every time I die, it will take me twenty years of Huaxia's time, and now that the great powers have become stronger, we have no more time to waste, so I can only choose this way." ”

"A country that is torn apart, a country that is at war everywhere, and that's the way you want to rise?" Yuan Shikai looked at Wang Sirui and continued: "You can't succeed, foreigners won't sit idly by. You have a patriotic heart, but you don't have that patriotic intellect. ”

Wang Sirui controlled the imperial court, and sooner or later this matter would be leaked out, and at that time, the country would be divided into at least three forces.

One is Wang Sirui, the other is royalists, and the last one is ambitious.

Even if Wang Sirui integrates his own Wuwei Right Army, it is difficult for him to have greater development, after all, Wang Sirui's strength is too small now, and there is only one place in Beijing, at most plus Shandong.

This is simply not enough to fight against those royalists, they can attack the capital in a short time, and they only need to cut off all supplies in the capital, then Wang Sirui will be done.

Even if Wang Sirui defeated the royalists, what about those ambitious factions in the end? When Wang Sirui was fighting to the death with the royalists, those ambitious factions were constantly developing their strength.

Even if you can't win the final victory, at least you can win a brighter future for yourself in the final negotiations, and that's enough.

Besides, do you really think that foreigners can't make paper?

The foreigners had just signed an agreement with the Qing court, in order to ensure their own interests, so now the foreigners needed a complete Qing Dynasty, not a fragmented Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, under the pressure of many parties, Yuan Shikai seems to have thought of Wang Sirui's ending.

Although the ideal is good, after all, it is still too young, and it is impossible to even reach the height of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the only thing that surpasses them may be the matter of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

"Yes, foreigners will not sit idly by, but why should they take care of our own affairs? Some things always have to be done, and history has proven that the Manchu rule was a failure, so the time has come to change the dynasty. Wang Sirui said angrily.

"You have already taken this step, and now there is no way out, but I, Yuan, have been involved in a daze, it's just that, it's fate. I only hope that after my death, you will not embarrass my family, after all, they will not pose any threat to you. Yuan Shikai said with a smile, with a generous attitude of dying.

"No, I'm not going to kill you, at least not for the time being, I'm going to let you see if you're right or if I'm right." Speaking of this, Wang Sirui paused slightly, as if he had thought of something, and after a long time, he continued to speak: "If I fail, at least this country will still have you." ”

Yuan Shikai did not answer Wang Sirui's words, and Wang Sirui did not look at Yuan Shikai's reaction, and after saying this, he left the room directly.

Yuan Shikai was once again the only one left in the house, but now Yuan Shikai's heart was full of shock, and the confused expression before had long since disappeared.

He ...... How did you know I had that kind of thought? Don't kill me just to leave a way back for the country? Yuan Shikai frowned deeply, recalling the words left by Wang Sirui earlier.

From the beginning of the training at the small station, Yuan Shikai dreamed that one day he would be able to lean into power and the opposition, and after learning that Li Hongzhang recommended him to take over as the governor of Zhili, this idea became stronger and stronger.

And even the people around him don't know that they have this kind of thought, how does Wang Sirui, who has never met him, know?

And what does the last sentence mean? Is it to imprison himself here just to leave a way out for himself?

Yuan Shikai felt that he seemed to have guessed Wang Sirui's intentions, but he couldn't believe that this was Wang Sirui's intentions.

However, Yuan Shikai will never know that Wang Sirui's words are actually just to be able to smoothly incorporate the 20,000 troops under his command, and solve the hatred of this army for himself, so that he can completely obey his command, at least in the early stage, he will not do anything against the yang and the yin.
