10821908 Far East Madman Chapter 344 fell under Yuan

Now the United States has hinted to Xu Shichang that the United States will be on the side of the Bu Nu faction on the "to Yuan" issue. If the British government also gave up its support for Yuan Shikai, then the outcome of Yuan Shikai's descent was almost certain, and Beiyang never dared not listen to the words of the great powers.

There is no way, the mouth of eating people is short, and the hands of people are soft. Beiyang is inseparable from the great powers, and Yuan Shikai is also inseparable from the great powers.

Under such analysis, Yuan Shikai was in a cold sweat, the sweat trickled down, soaking the back of his clothes, and his front placket was already soaked by the raindrops floating in from the window.

saw Yuan Shikai standing in front of the window for a while. Yuan Keding walked over and stood at Yuan Shikai's

Side.

"Sharp dear, it's raining heavily in front of this window, so it's better to stand in."

Yuan Keding's words made Yuan Shikai's mind pull back, and after looking at Yuan Keding, Yuan Shikai sighed helplessly, shook his head, turned around with his hands behind his back, walked two steps, and then raised his head and glanced at the group of cronies standing in the study.

Zhao Bingjun, Duan Qirui, Duan Zhigui, Cai Tinggan, Ruan Zhongshu, are either Wenchen or military generals, and they have been following Yuan Shikai for many years, plus Yang Du and Yan Xiu's subordinates who are not too intimate. The study room of the presidential palace here is already packed.

"Everyone, you have circulated Xu Juren's telegram, and now there are people in Beiyang who want to rebel and seize power, how are you good?"

Yuan Shikai's cold words made everyone in the study stunned, following Yuan Laoshuai for so many days. Everyone knows his temperament, and when he speaks now, Yuan Shikai is smiling, which is exactly the appearance of extreme anger in his heart, which shows that he has a murderous intent, but this murderous intent is not aimed at that Commander-in-Chief Zhao, at least not now.

"Godfather ordered, I immediately took someone to arrest Sheng Xuanhuai, escorted him to godfather, and broke him into thousands of pieces! He is hiding in the concession, it doesn't matter, let's send someone to the concession, if the foreigner doesn't agree to the extradition, let's tie him up by ourselves, Shanghai is a place where dragons and snakes are mixed. There are also some heroes who are willing to work hard. Duan Zhigui was the first to speak, and he gritted his teeth when he spoke.

The others were silent for a while, and Yang Du was about to speak, but Yan Xiu, who was standing beside him, touched the root of his foot with his toes, so he lowered his head again.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Yuan Shikai sneered and paced back to the desk, and sat down on the rattan chair. Yuan Keding hurriedly followed, stood at the table and waited, and raised his head and glanced at Duan Zhigui when he ordered the confidential officer to prepare a dry suit for Yuan Shikai.

Although Duan Zhigui saw Yuan Keding's eyes, he didn't dare to speak anymore, and looked at Duan Qirui beside him, but found that Chief Duan was turning his head to look at the rain scene outside the window, looking at that look. There was a bit of an intoxicating taste.

"Zhiquan, what are you thinking? You are the chief of the War Department, what do you think of this defeat in southern Henan? ”

Yuan Shikai glanced at Duan Qirui, but the words he asked had nothing to do with the topic of "pouring Yuan" this time.

Duan Qirui turned his head. sighed and said, "Old Shuai Junjian." The defeat of the Beiyang Army in southern Henan this time was really expected by Duan, Duan did not expect the combat effectiveness of the southern army to be so strong, and he did not expect Feng Huafu and a few of them to be so bent on going their own way, knowing that the Xinyang defense line could not be breached, but still stopped under the fortified city, it was really a taboo for soldiers, it was just a small setback, but they turned it into a big defeat, and it really made people speechless with such a use of troops. ”

"Then, according to Zhiji's opinion, if you are to command. And how should we use the soldiers? Yuan Shikai was cold

Road.

"Since the Xinyang defense line cannot be broken through, the only option is to gather forces and retreat north. Stick to Zhengzhou, and at the same time order the First Army to abandon Nanjing and Shanghai, and the whole army to advance westward, forming a two-sided attack with the Second Army of Zhengzhou's southward advance. If the Beiyang Army can fight steadily and steadily in turn, even if it cannot occupy Wuhan, it can also form a strong military pressure on the united front and force it to divide internally, so that it can be broken one by one and make Beiyang occupy a strategic advantage. In other words, a strategic victory on the Western Front was achieved by a temporary retreat from the southeast."

Duan Qirui talked eloquently, but he didn't finish his words. But I heard the "pop" sound of slapping the table.

"If you know how to fight, why didn't you lead the army in the first place? No matter how stupid Feng Huafu is. At least he still has a Yuan Laoshuai in his heart, and he also pretends to have a Beiyang! Mobilize the First Army to attack Wuhan? So the southeast is still not defending, do you think that the tens of thousands of people who were placed in Hangzhou by the United Front came to see the play? ”

Yuan Shikai slapped the table and roared, making Duan Qirui in a cold sweat, he realized how reckless he was just now, it just touched Yuan Shikai's nerves on sensitive issues, and gave him the excuse to play the topic, "defending the east and attacking the west" This is the strategy set by Yuan Laoshuai, and questioning it on this is to question Yuan Shikai.

Duan Qirui Lixuan kept his mouth shut, but Yuan Shikai refused to let go of this acting general manager of the Ministry of War

"Why can't we Beiyang defeat the United Front? It's not because you, Duan Zhiquan, are clever. It's not because of his Feng Huafu's dull tactics, but because of infighting, because of party strife! "In the battle of Xinyang, Feng Huafu said that it was a big defeat. But now is not the time to fall into the trap! That Sheng Xuanhuai is now in trouble with my Yuan family. That's his insidiousness, but I won't allow anyone else to fall for it! If you fall into the well, I fall into the well, if you do this, then you don't have to wait for others to fight us Beiyang,

"Rikou, since I have smashed myself to death with stones, everyone has died, where is the mother, Yang?"

After Yuan Shikai said that, he stood up and pointed at Duan Qirui and scolded loudly, his face was pale, his arms trembled violently, and everyone in the room lowered their heads, dodging Yuan Shikai's devouring gaze.

"Father, you are angry. Let's start with the rebellious things of Beiyang, and now Xu Ju is sending a telegram, which is his loyalty to the old handsome. If you can't help but commend it, why don't you take a telegram now? ”

Although Yuan Keding's words did not calm Yuan Shikai down, they finally made him stop roaring.

Yuan Shi'an sat back on the rattan chair, waved his hand dejectedly, and said, "There is no false courtesy between me and Xu Juren. He won't care, this commendation will wait until the Beiyang rebellion is resolved. ”

Xu Ju plans to announce his withdrawal from the presidential race right now and ask his father for his opinion in a telegram. Is it a return telegram? Yuan Keding asked.

Yuan Shikai hesitated for a moment and said: "You go and call back and tell Xu Juren, don't worry about this presidential election for now, I trust him, even if Yuan is really forced to go into the wilderness, it is better for him Xu Juren to be the official president than those wolf-hearted rebellions." Hmph, Sheng Xuanhuai's gang is really confused. Now the United Front is aggressive, they don't want to unite as one, the muzzle of the gun is outside, but they are busy looking at the palace, this is Li Lingzhi faint, drive me out of power, they really think they can sit firmly? Hmph, I thought that without my Yuan Shikai's Beiyang, it would still not be Beiyang."

Just when Yuan Shikai and a group of cronies were secretly discussing a plan of action to counter the "overthrowing Yuan faction", in a conference room in the Shanghai Public Concession, a similar conspiracy was also in full swing.

The meeting was held in Zhangyuan, a public concession, and most of the people attending the meeting were from the Beiyang Group, among which Sheng Xuanhuai had the highest status.

The meeting has been going on for a long time, and everyone is in favor of Sheng Xuanhuai's plan to reverse Yuan, although a few people still decide to wait and see, but the action of overthrowing Yuan will still be carried out in accordance with the plan.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the overall interests of Beiyang must not be allowed to be controlled by one person and one clan, the defeat of southern Henan is all the fault of Yuan Xiangcheng, if it wasn't for his indecisiveness, why did the republican army become more and more powerful to the point where it could not be restrained? If it weren't for his insistence on Yuan Xiangcheng to subdue the Congress by force, why would Beiyang become the target of Qianfu? The defeat of southern Henan has nothing to do with Beiyang, and all the blame should be borne by Yuan Xiangcheng alone. ”

Sheng Xuanhuai's words expressed everyone's hearts, and at the same time announced the end of the meeting.

After the meeting was dismissed, Sheng Xuanhuai was invited by Zhang Shuhe, the owner of Zhang Garden, to sit in the tea room for a while, and the two first had a secret discussion in the private room.

"Although Yuan Xiangcheng is a little slow, but it is also for the interests of Beiyang, Mr. Sheng is so fanfare against him, isn't he afraid of being framed? Tao Huanqing's death may not have anything to do with Yuan Xiangcheng. ”

Zhang Shuhe still persuaded a few words, but it was to the point, and he was not very interested in politics, although his Zhang Yuan was known as "Oriental Hyde Park." In fact, he plays a role in the political stage of this era, but in his heart, he does want to stay away from politics, but as an industrialist, he has to make false promises among politicians from all sides.

"Mr. Zhang doesn't know, this time it's Yuan. We're not alone, we still have some allies. To tell the truth, Zhang Jilao and his members of the Constituent Association also plan to intervene, and they are all representatives of Southeast Industry. With their support, this matter will increase a lot of chances of winning, even if Xu Juren is unwilling to get involved in this matter. Yuan Xiangcheng also couldn't sit in a stable seat. ”

Listening to Sheng Xuanhuai's words, Uncle Zhang was a little surprised.

"Why did Zhang Jilao get involved in this?"

"Isn't it for their sake of the Constituent Assembly itself? When the war between the North and the South was imminent, they hurriedly resigned from their duties as members of the General Committee of the United Front, and now the United Front has won. They all regret it a little, and now they are burning their eyebrows and want to set up another door, but they are weak. wants to cooperate with Beiyang, this matter to Yuan, is just their vote. ”

This explanation made Uncle Zhang thoughtful. However, he didn't want to get involved too much in this matter, so he sat with Sheng Xuanhuai for a while, and then found a reason to leave.

Sheng Xuanhuai didn't sit for long, chatted for a while with a few acquaintances who were drinking tea, then left Zhang Yuan with the servants, got into a carriage without any signs, and told the coachman to go straight to the telegraph office.

When he arrived at the telegraph office, Sheng Xuanhuai took a telegram from the telegraph room, hurriedly glanced at it, and couldn't help but high-five and laugh.

"Yuan Shikai, Yuan Shikai, this time. If you don't go into the wilderness, just wait for the rebels to leave. Hmph, Zhao Bei, Zhao Bei, the old man swore in Hankou that the old man would settle the account of Han Yeping with you after all! The old man has been walking the rivers and lakes for so many years, and all the winds and waves have come, but he has suffered a dumb loss in you, a stunned young man, this account is not clear, how can the old man give up? What if you beat Feng Guozhang? Even if this Beiyang is a rotten wood, it is also a difficult rotten wood, and if you want to swallow it in one bite, it is not so easy. The current situation. That is a Spring and Autumn Warring States period, and the test is a vertical and horizontal ability, who has the last laugh. Now the old man doesn't know. ”
