On October 7, Yuan Shikai has been immersed in pleasure, and his mood is very comfortable, and he even listened to a small song and watched a Peking Opera in his busy time.

There is no other reason, the reason why the president is so happy is three reasons, which makes Yuan Shikai, who has not been so happy for a long time, indulge fiercely, and the staff officers and generals under him are also interested, knowing that the president has been in a good mood recently, and no one will disturb the president's mood at this time.

The first thing, naturally, is the most proud thing for Yuan Shikai, who completely subdued the unruly southern barbarians in the south, and once again proved that the saying that a big fist is the truth, what is the leader of the Republic of China Sun Yat-sen, what is the southern hero Li Liejun and some other people, but now they are not all honest, running away, and retreating.

At the beginning, Yuan Shikai was still a little worried, but he didn't expect that these southern barbarians had a lot of skills, but when they did it, they couldn't do it, and it was really Sun Dacang's subordinates. As for the various forces in those places, they were also very obedient at this time, and some time ago, the telegrams were sent one after another, all of them were loyal, and no one called themselves national thieves.

The second thing, speaking of which Yuan is very complacent and has won a lot of people's hearts, compared to those people in the south who fight all day long, but in fact betray the interests of the country, Yuan Shikai can be said to have really done a great thing for the country and the people this time!

That is, yesterday, he personally sent people to negotiate with Japan on the issue of the resumption of the privileges of Siping-Taonan, Changchun-Taonan, Taonan-Chengde, Kaiyuan-Hailong-Jilin, etc., in order to add luster to his position as president.

At the beginning, Yuan Shikai was worried that the Japanese would not give up these privileges so easily, and he did not announce it to the outside world in advance, but he did not expect that the Japanese side would make concessions in this regard in order to show its support for him. Of course, these rights of way cannot be taken over by themselves for the time being, but in terms of legal effect, they have already recovered some of China's rights and interests.

When the news spread, I added a lot of political points to myself.

The third thing, which is expected, is that since he defeated those southern barbarians in the south, under the force of force, Yuan Shikai finally got rid of the word temporary in the "provisional president", officially became the president, and became the real supreme leader of China recognized by the world.

Since the abdication of the Qing Emperor, he is also the first national leader to be recognized internationally!

And from now on, even if those people in the south want to make any small moves in the future, they will no longer be able to hide their ugly faces in front of the people of the whole country, and they can directly characterize all the small actions of the other party as treason!

At this time, Yuan Shikai, accompanied by the two aunts, walked in the garden for a while, after all, the weather had cooled down, and the city of Beijing at this time was even colder, and there was no good scenery in the yard.

Then let the next person bring a hot human milk, and drink it comfortably, and I didn't feel any fishy smell.

However, thinking that he would have to entertain the consuls of various countries tonight, Yuan Shikai planned to go back to sleep for a while to replenish some spirits, and then prepare some things in the afternoon.

However, the matter is not over, it seems that Yuan Shikai is not a happy life, he was just about to go back, when he heard the sound of someone talking outside the courtyard, he suddenly stopped, not knowing who would come at this time.

After a while, the sound outside quieted down, and then he saw his most trusted advisor Yang Shiqi coming over, holding a telegram in his hand, but there was no frustration or bad expression on his face, but the other party was full of surprise, which made Yuan Shikai surprised, I don't know what would make his strategist who wants to be stable show such a look.

Yang Shiqi is a native of Anhui, born in a big bureaucratic family, received a good systematic education, when Li Hongzhang was alive, he once followed Li Hongzhang, as the other party's staff, and Yuan Shikai had a friendship, and later in the twenty-seventh year of Guangxu, after Li Hongzhang's death, began to follow Yuan Shikai.

For so many years, Yang Shiqi has been trusted and respected by Yuan Shikai, and Yuan Shikai himself called him a think tank, and there are almost no things to hide from each other, even the three heroes of Beiyang cannot be arrogant in front of Yang Shiqi.

Yang Shiqi, who is now in his forties, still looks in good spirits, his face is a little thin, but he seems to be more capable of the other party, and the bright light flashing in his eyes from time to time shows that this person is shrewd, which has to be said to be a reason why Yuan Shikai trusts the other party.

Yang Shiqi, who came to the courtyard, saw Yuan Shikai, who had just become the official president, looking at him with a smile on his face, and his heart was also quite moved, after all, the relationship between the two has been even better than friends for so many years, but he knew that it was precisely because of this that he had to show respect for the president, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The president is well." ”

Then he made another gesture to the other party and glanced at the other party with a happy face.

Yuan Shikai knew that the other party wanted to congratulate him, and raised his hand to signal everyone waiting beside him to leave, even the two aunts who had always been pampered were no exception, these two aunts and wives were also shrewd, did not express any dissatisfaction, blessed Yang Shiqi, and turned to leave.

"You, you, you're still so polite, forget it, it's okay to take a walk with the old man, just say that no one is with you." Yuan Shikai said, pulling the other party back into the courtyard.

Yang Shiqi smiled and said: "President, I came to disturb this time to congratulate the president, because of the news I just received today. ”

"Oh? What hi? Let's talk about it. Yuan Shikai knew that it must be related to the telegram in the other party's hand, and asked with some curiosity.

Yang Shiqi handed the telegram in his hand to Yuan Shikai and said: "President, I didn't expect another talent to come out of our Beiyang Army, this is really terrifying." ”

Yuan Shikai took it curiously, presumably this matter seems to be not small, otherwise the other party would not have come over at this time.

Looking at the telegram in his hand, his face became more and more surprised, and finally he gasped, and then looked up in disbelief and said, "Is this thing true?" ”

"Yes, I've already contacted the people over there, but it's true, and that Mr. Zhang has already returned by car, I think it won't be long before the news spreads."

Yuan Shikai said: "This is interesting, Zhang Xun is also too angry, some time ago I knew about the filth over there, I originally thought that when the little descendant over there came to ask for a letter of help, he would help again, but I didn't expect that what was waiting for was not a letter of distress from a young descendant, but it was the news of Zhang Xun's failure, I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it."

As he spoke, Yuan Shikai also had a taste of regret in his mouth, and his tone was a little complicated.

It turned out that this matter was known when Han Zheng and Zhang Xunbu clashed for the first time, and later Han Zheng sent a telegram, angrily accusing the innocent people of Zhang Xunbu's wreckage and destroying one side. But at that time, he didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that the two sides were just a small fight, and the two of them couldn't make any waves.

And Yuan Shikai also has some inhumane thoughts in his heart.

Then I don't know what's going on, a small conflict between the two of them actually appeared in various newspapers, and it was raised one after another, Yuan Shikai was still unhappy for a while, thinking that the two were fooling around, and the chaos in the south had just been pacified, but at this time, the two heroes were making trouble, and it was just a matter of making trouble in private, Yuan Shikai smiled at most and said a few words, one didn't understand the elders, and the other didn't know how to care for the younger generations, but then the two made a big deal about it!

However, later Yuan Shikai had to clean up a lot of messes here, and he had to prepare for his official president, and he had to think of ways to deal with those foreigners, worried that he would be taken advantage of by those foreigners by accident, so he had to put this matter down and had no time to take care of it.

But this time it was different, no one thought that a simple big guy would step down completely like this, and there was no place to turn over, so he hurriedly sent this telegram up, but Yang Shiqi inadvertently saw the content inside, and he was very surprised, so he ran over in person.

However, I still appreciate the young descendant, and the other party has done a lot of good things for his hometown in Anhui that he wants to do but has not done, and there is always an inexplicable sense of intimacy in his heart for the young man he has never met.

As for the regret in Yuan Shikai's tone, Yang Shiqi is also a door clearer, everyone knows that Yuan Shikai hates Zhang Xun, but for various reasons, he has to turn a blind eye, if Han Zheng can kill Zhang Xun's prestige, it would be good.

But at this time, Zhang Xun is finished, which also means that there is another powerful faction in northern Anhui! There is a reason for Yuan Shikai's complicated thoughts. (To be continued.) )
