Chapter 39: There is no choice

Yuan Shikai was here in Song Qing, and he hit a somewhat surprisingly soft nail.

Normally, if there is any embarrassment about Yuan Shikai's trip, the usual method is to politely entertain them, and then say nothing to Yuan Shikai and them. If he saw Yuan Shikai again, he was also embarrassed by the left and the right and asked Yuan Shikai for help. Just wait for the fire to see that it is old, and then all difficulties will not become difficulties, and the Yi army will leave no matter whether it goes north or south.

But Song Qing's performance this time was completely different.

At first, he also planned to pretend to be sick and not see Yuan Shikai, but a character like Yuan Brain Shell, how could he be fooled by the methods of this old Qiu Ba! From the very beginning, Yuan Shikai was extremely strong, and led a few followers to Song Qing's gate. Song Qing is also tough, and he doesn't pretend to be sick anymore, and he sees these people from Liangjiang when he sees them.

Facing Yuan Shikai, Song Qing said heart-wrenching words.

"Brother Yuan, I know your prestige in Anzhou, and I didn't need you to come in person to give Yijun development funds. As a result, Xu Dashuai sent you, Dashuai attaches great importance to our Yijun and cares for us, that is not said!

In this general trend of the world, I, Song Qing, am confused again, can't I see it clearly? Truth be told, even if the North and the South are evenly matched. But the Yijun army has been fulfilled in the hands of Xu Dashuai again and again, even if I, Song Qing, am deeply grateful to the imperial court, I can't help but think about the 20,000 children under my command! have to find a way out for them, where is the way out, it is nothing more than under the command of Xu Dashuai! 20,000 Yi troops are ready to enter southern Liaoning at any time and join the Praetorian Guard. With 20,000 children, whether it is the reorganization of the Praetorian Guard, or the formation of another battalion, I, Song Qing, have no prejudices. I'm a seventy-year-old guy, what do you care about? Yijun handed it over, which can be regarded as the old man's heart, so he can collect the burden and go back to his hometown in Penglai, Shandong to raise it............ But Brother Yuan, has you thought about me Song Qing, I, Song Qing, am a person from the Qing Dynasty! When people are old, they will inevitably miss the old days, and they don't care about money and official positions, but some things still have to be reassured!

Xu Dashuai has always acted above board, no one can point to his backbone, otherwise how could he be here today! Liu Xianzhuang sent a telegram to the old man, asking the old man to slow down a little and wait for him to come before leaving. I didn't see my old friend in front of me, and I ran away like a thief, not only did I feel unbearable, but it also ruined Xu Dashuai's reputation! It seems that we are not doing the right thing for the sake of the whole of Korea............ The old man is still a little nostalgic!

The old man of Liu Xianzhuang also somewhat understands that he wants our army to go south to stabilize the situation in Zhili - now there is chaos there, and no one knows what moths will come out! The old man's plan will not be hidden from you, and the gentleman will break off his friendship and not speak ill of you. Xu Dashuai and I Yijun are determined, but Liu Xianzhuang is also here for business, the old man is ready to leave him a few thousand soldiers, let him bring back to Zhili, and he has been a monarch and minister for decades, and he has been a friend for so many years!

These thousands of soldiers, he said that Xu Dashuai went north, and he would never meet the Praetorian Guards again! The people who stayed behind and the old man all explained well. On that day, as soon as he saw the flag of the Praetorian Guard, he took off his name and put his weapon, and he would never add a blade to the Praetorian Guard!

What to say, the old man poured out from his heart, whether Brother Yuan is considerate or inconsiderate, I am such an old Qiu Ba temper, and I will not please him for the rest of my life. In order to seek peace of mind, and also know that the love of the handsome man was hurt, when the time came, the old man went to Jiangning to kneel down and ask for guilt! Brother Yuan, just wait a few more days! ”

When these words came out, Yuan Shikai didn't have to say more. Song Qing is over seventy years old, is he really old and confused? The so-called leaving a few thousand soldiers to Liu Kunyi, doesn't he know that the marshal is now trying to hollow out all the soldiers and horses in Zhili? When the time comes, the soldiers will be given to others, and how they will be at the mercy of others, it turns out that as soon as the officers are changed, the soldiers are not paid at the head of any battalion. There are thousands more soldiers for Liu Kunyi, and I don't know what variables will be born when the time comes!

Ding Ge is imminent, and the ministers from the dragon are striving for the upstream, and they are all striving for meritorious service at this time. Song Qing himself had to doubt himself about Xu Yifan, and he had to put these 20,000 Yijun disciples into another book in Xu Yifan's heart, what could he Yuan Shikai do?

Qiu Ba, who has been leading soldiers all his life, has made up his mind in his heart, but he can't be convinced............ The meaning of the whole monarch and the minister, the friendship of friends, is not at this moment when the world is about to be turned upside down!

When such a soft nail hits it, Yuan Shikai can only accept it, and he is hanging around in Suiyuan these days. Song Qing had nothing to say about their hospitality, so he almost let himself out. The Yijun army is also beginning to distribute settling-in allowances, prepare logistics columns, hire people, and start making preparations for the pull-out. The officers of the Yi Army, Song Qing did not prohibit them from traveling with Yuan Shikai, these days, Yuan Shikai's banquet could not be eaten, either this general soldier was the east, or the admiral held a banquet. These Yijun officers were very flattering to Yuan Shikai, and everything in their hearts poured outward. It is nothing more than asking what tricks and taboos there are when you are directly under Xu Yifan's hands.

The big guy couldn't help but pour bitter water outward, the old military gate has experienced so many chilling things, how can he still not give up on the court? That court, for more than a year, has it been doing human affairs? Now I don't know which guys have a hard life, and they will be left to Liu Kunyi by the military gate, and the rest of their lives will be ruined! But the big guys are all the children of the old army, and the Yi army is a battalion head from the branch of the Huai Army, and in the bitter cold outside the mouth, Song Qing has a handful of and urine, and he is so big with his life. How can the big guy go against the will of the old army!

These days, Suiyuan City has passed in such a disturbed atmosphere, Yuan Shikai's attitude is lukewarm, just a cold bystander, the Yijun officers are confused, but Song Qing has always been as stinky and hard as an old root, he doesn't listen to anyone's advice, just stubbornly acts according to his own will.

Until the news of Liu Kunyi's assassination came.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "What? Lord Liu was stabbed? ”

Yuan Shikai was so shocked that he almost knocked over the tea bowl in his hand. He was hurriedly invited by Song Qing Geshiha to Yuanmen for discussion. As soon as he arrived, he found that the atmosphere was not quite right, and the officers and staff members under Song Qing's command who had heads and faces were all gathered and dressed in formal clothes. Everyone's face is strange, some are shocked and angry, some are afraid and afraid, some are secretly happy, but on the face of Song Qing, who is dressed in court clothes and sitting in the middle, there is a kind of sadness that is greater than death!

Liu Kunyi, the veteran of the last days of the Hunan army, was assassinated on the way to Song Qing, and only a few Goshha rushed out of the entourage and went straight to the official office near Nankou, and the news reached Yanjing, and after confirmation, it was spread to the entire Qing Dynasty by people with good intentions. The imperial court urgently recalled the pillar of Zhili Qingtian, and it actually fell!

Although there are still so many princes and nobles in Yanjing City, Guangxu personally promoted Tan Sitong and other Qingliu to give him a heavy responsibility, ready to refresh and improve, and broke his wrist with Xu Yifan. But in the eyes of the people of the world, the only reliable minister in the imperial court who is capable, prestigious, and well-connected is Liu Kunyi! But now, in the territory of Zhili, the governor of a province was assassinated!

No matter what aspect of the hand, the imperial court is now doubly crumbling, but it is a consensus!

Yuan Shikai's hands and feet were cold, and his first reaction was that Song Qingmo did not suspect that Xu Yifan sent someone to do it, and he was sad that this veteran of the last days, Xie Shi, was going to have a change!

His eyes swept over the faces of everyone present, and his face sank: "Song Junmen, Lord Liu was assassinated, do you know which force did it?" ”

Song Qing smiled faintly and bitterly: "I don't know, Brother Yuan, there are rumors now, and there are speculations everywhere." There are those who suspect the upstart of the clear stream, and there are those who suspect Xu Dashuai............ There's everything. There are even a lot of people who guess that it is an Oriental devil, and no one knows who did it! ”

Yuan Shikai stared at him with blazing eyes: "Lord Liu was assassinated, and the most profitable person on the surface is our Xu Dashuai, Song Junmen, you don't have any doubts about our Dashuai in your heart?" ”

Song Qing shook his head slowly: "I don't know about others, but my old man can trust Xu Dashuai............ The handsome man has always acted in a straight way and won the world. Now is the time for Fang Sheng, how can he do such a thing? ”

"Who would it be?" Yuan Shikai seemed to be asking Song Qing, but in fact, he was asking himself more. At this juncture, it was originally a time when both the imperial court and Xu Yifan were accumulating strength, rectifying the camp, and preparing to finally divide the winner and loser. Xu Yifan is never afraid of Liu Kunyi's strength, and he can ensure this. Unexpectedly, all of a sudden, this Governor Liu Kun died mysteriously! The situation in the north is undoubtedly about to fall into chaos, and this is not what Xu Yifan wants. So who is it that is looking forward to this coming Northland chaos?

All kinds of clues were circling and entwining in his mind, but he couldn't figure out a clue. He sat there quietly, his eyes still looking at Song Qing, but he didn't know where he had flown to.

Song Qing sighed wastefully: "No matter who it is, anyway, the old man doesn't have the heart to know!" ”

His expression was gloomy: "............ Liu Laoshuai passed away, no matter who it was, it was difficult to return to heaven alone. Even if all my troops go south, how can I save the slightest bit of this situation? At this time, it is better to think more about your children............ Brother Yuan, I will call Dashuai, please attach a name as a witness, the old man is suspicious of the relocation delay these days to ask Dashuai for the guilt, and also make it clear to Dashuai, Yijun will not delay any longer, this will be the whole team, we ———— from now on, officially under the command of Xu Dashuai! ”

The old man stood up slowly, and all the generals under his command stood up, knelt in the direction of the two rivers in the south with Song Qing, and kowtowed heavily!

Yuan Shikai was first happy in his heart, and then stood up and stood up solemnly. No matter what, his biggest mission to Suiyuan has already been done! Then he understood why many of the generals present had fearful and fearful expressions on their faces.

Xu Yifan's prestige is now enough, even if Liu Kunyi dies at his hands. It's just a few more layers of deepening the degree of offending the imperial court to the end. What's the difference that doesn't make it? As for the hearts of the people in the world, to win the world, not only rely on you to walk on the straight path, but sometimes, you also have to show that you, the superior person, are ruthless enough, and when it is time to start, you have no scruples. The world not only respects you, but also needs to be afraid of you! Prove that you can not only bring benefits to your followers, but also enough punitive deterrence to your enemies! This is the responsibility of the world!

No wonder Song Qing said who did it, he didn't have the heart to find out. Liu Kun fell one by one, and in the eyes of the vast majority of people, the Qing Dynasty has gone to a pillar, and the situation is becoming more and more irreparable. Yi Jun didn't take a stand at this time, did he really wait until Xu Yifan decided the overall situation before cleaning up his Song Qing's 20,000 children?

Who did this for Xu Yifan? Xu Yifan arranged these secret operations in the north, and he would never know anything about it. But which force wants to fish in the muddy waters at this time of the Ding Revolution?

Yuan Shikai's mind was already about to fly, the situation in the north was already different, and the marshal probably had no preparations to deal with this situation............ The rendezvous between the Yi Army and the Southern Liaoning Janissaries has become a sure thing. Does he want to take another risk to find out the inside story of this northland for the big handsome?

A picture suddenly passed through his mind, on the official road leading to the mouth outside Kangzhuang, the senior brother Liu, the gossip flags flying all over the sky, and the agile gray-clothed men who had served in the Praetorian Guard............ Something seems to be right in front of you, but it is always separated by a layer, hazy, and you just can't grasp it! He only had a vague feeling that this might be another unprecedented achievement! can make him a great achievement alongside Li Yunzong, Chu Wanli, Tang Shaoyi and others in one fell swoop!

Does he want to return to Zhili again?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Liu Kun died.

When the news spread to the two rivers and to the south, everyone was also stunned!

All those who are interested in the current situation, including the southern governor, the first reaction, this is what Xu Yifan did. He finally began to cut down the pillars of the imperial court! Some people are indignant, Li Hongzhang, who lives in Hefei, secretly helped Xu Yifan to write to the governors of various places and ask for assistance to keep North Korea, but this time he immediately wrote a letter to Xu Yifan angrily, you have to win the world, who in the world can't see your mind, and now you have the advantage, why do you bother to do this unkind thing?

The two armies of Hunan and Huai are regarded as the same qi and branches, and they are related by blood. He Li Hongzhang promised to be the door of Zeng Wenzhenggong, and he didn't say anything about the bizarre assassination of the veteran of the Hunan army, so he called him Li Hongzhang, how to behave?

Weng Tongyi, who lived in Shanghai, did not return to his hometown in Changzhou, but lived in the Shanghai concession, and everyone else was discouraged by the imperial court, but he still kept writing letters with Yanjing, informing him of the situation in the south. The gentry of Liangjiang opposed Xu Yifan and supervised Jiang Ning, but there may not be an old man behind him.

The old man Weng reacted even more violently, and bought the pages of several foreign newspapers in Shanghai with his own money, and scolded Xu Yifan. Such a ruthless person, everyone in the world will be punished! Governors everywhere should recognize Xu Yifan's true face, work together to protect the court, and oust Xu Yifan!

But more people, but it is a shock. Especially the local powerhouses who have chosen to bet on Xu Yifan. On the contrary, I may approve it in my heart. Although the reputation of this thing is not very good, but if you want to win the world, how can you not do some dirty things? So decisively removed a pillar of the imperial court, maybe they still secretly praised Xu Yifan's imperial atmosphere and heroic methods in their hearts. The weaker the imperial court, the more likely Xu Yifan's great cause is to succeed, and the more their bets on Xu Yifan will not be in vain. If Xu Yifan had been soft-hearted, they would not have jumped on Xu Yifan's boat in the first place! If the court wins, can they still have a good one?

Except for a few people who were shouting angrily, public opinion in the south was a little silent about this matter. Everyone was watching the reaction of the Liangjiang Governor's Office with apprehension.

And in the Liangjiang Governor's Office, after getting the news, I don't know if it was because of shock, and he lost his voice for a while. A day later, Xu Yifan gathered his confidants and gathered at the Governor's Office to discuss this matter.

Li Yunzong, Chu Wanli, Tang Shaoyi, Sheng Xuanhuai, Zhang Peilun and others gathered together, except for Zhan Tianyou, who is still busy with the cause of breeding and industrial development, almost all of these start-up teams have gone to the signing room of the Supervision Office. Everyone's eyes just turned on Xu Yifan's face who was standing there walking around with his hands in his hands. The big guys' expressions were a little stiff, and their hearts were all turning their minds. From time to time, they glanced at each other, and the same question was in their eyes: "Did the handsome man arrange you to do this?" ”

Xu Yifan was full of depression, and he inexplicably carried this black pot! It's nothing if Liu Kun dies, anyway, he Xu Yifan has a lot of debts, and he has long been a chaotic minister and thief. And obviously, this thing also shocked the world, and it didn't necessarily hurt much. But he just didn't do it!

It's just a grievance, but the most important thing is that he can't figure it out for a while. Which force did this - Liu Kun's strength will fall as soon as he pushes it, it just depends on when he pushes it. Can you commit an assassination? The general trend is not driven by assassination............ What kind of bastards the hell? When this incident happens, there will inevitably be a big change in the north, which is equivalent to stabilizing the situation, integrating the south, and after gaining the understanding of the foreign powers, the plan to go north to overthrow the Qing court in one fell swoop is completely disrupted!

This matter is good and good, and everyone's despair for the court is even deeper. Those powers were even more unable to believe that the Qing court still had the ability to stabilize the situation in Asia, and in the future, they could only ask for him. There had been some communication between him and the Great Powers, especially the British, and they were just waiting for the final negotiations.

The disadvantage is the situation in the Northland, which is out of his grasp! In case of erosion, he will have to spend more effort to clean it up. The most important thing is that he can't even figure out which hand is stirring up the situation!

The air in the room was getting tighter. Xu Yifan became more and more angry as he walked, turned his head and stared at his subordinates fiercely, and they quickly stopped asking each other with their eyes, and sat upright dangerously.

Xu Yifan slapped the table fiercely: "It wasn't Lao Tzu who did it!" ”

Everyone was silent.

"Xingsun, the situation in the Northland, after the comfort pavilion goes, you are in control. Why didn't you give me any news about such a big thing? What do those people planted in the Northland eat? With an allowance of tens of thousands of taels per month, Bai Sai gave them to gamble?

Xu Yifan's anger is a bit big. He has always been polite to Sheng Xuanhuai, and he couldn't help but say two heavy words at this time. didn't think about it, Sheng Xuanhuai didn't mind much, but looked willing. Speaking seriously, holding you accountable, that is to treat you as a confidant, always polite, he is Sheng Xuanhuai under Xu Yifan, but I am afraid that the future will not be good!

Sheng Xuanhuai bowed his head and was scolded, and others did not dare to interject. Xu Yifan also knew that his anger was a bit nameless. He propped his hand on the table and tried his best to calm the breath in his chest.

Can't blame him for a bit of a gaffe. He is no longer the mentality that he used to struggle to get out and is barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes. At that time, the more chaotic the situation, the better, and the more chaotic, the more opportunities he had to come out. Now is the critical moment for him to seize the road against the grain, but what he is afraid of is that everything will get out of control!

Zhang Peilun looked at Xu Yifan's face, smiled and got up: "Handsome, a little thing is such a gaffe, why bother?" It doesn't matter if we did it, or if we didn't. Anyway, Liu Xianzhuang has passed away, so let's plan for the future............"

His complexion also became serious: "Dashuai, those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety, and nothing can develop as expected............ At the beginning, Yang Shixiang was in chaos at the most critical moment, and the handsome man responded differently as usual? Why is Dashuai a little unbreathable now? ”

Xu Yifan was shocked, closed his eyes and nodded: "Youqiao, that's a good point." The higher I climbed, the harder I fell............ Xingsun, my tone was a little heavier just now, don't be surprised. ”

Sheng Xuanhuai smiled and got up: "Dashuai, why do you say this!" We waited because it was so smooth that we couldn't help but get a little carried away. I always thought that no matter how much I tossed in the north, I couldn't turn over the palm of the handsome, so I slacked off a little. The subordinates will go back and arrange it, and in the future, no matter what every move in the north is, it will be presented to the desk of the handsome! ”

Xu Yifan nodded: "Send a telegram to Yuan Weiting, Song Qing's old Qiu Ba, either set off immediately, or don't set off!" He's done with the envoy over there, hurry up and come back to me! ”

As he spoke, he suddenly smiled: "Fuck, it's not bad to make the world afraid of Lao Tzu............ Well, Liu Xianzhuang is gone, and he has to do it. Jiangning City is the place of Liu Dujiu Town, it is allowed to set up a sacrifice in Houhu to summon the soul, and there are people who are favored by Liu Gong in Liangjiang place, you can go to worship, I can't say that you have to go to a pillar of incense. Electrify the world, scold the murderer to Lao Tzu! said that he caught it later, and he had to sacrifice in front of Liu's cemetery! I also sent a letter to Li Zhongtang to explain it well, saying that I really didn't do it............ The matter of setting up a sacrifice, Shaochuan, you will do it, and other things in the text, I will bother Youqiao with a stroke of the pen. ”

Seeing that Xu Yifan was completely calm, Tang Shaoyi and Zhang Youqiao both stood up and took the things they had explained.

Xu Yifan then slapped the table again: "Lao Tzu can't bear this infamy in vain!" While everyone is afraid of my Xu Yifan's spicy hands, those governors of Liangjiang can be convened in advance. Who dares not to come? Bet on me, can you still stand on the dry shore and watch the scenery? I'll look at next month, and then when Liu Gong was assassinated and the world was shaken, he did all the following things in one go! Right here in Houhu, I'm here to entertain these governors! ”

Everyone received the order with a bang, and the atmosphere in the room finally relaxed. Only Chu Wanli frowned and thought hard: "Who is it that did this?" In what direction will the Northland change after this change? What do those guys want to get when they assassinate Liu Kunyi? ”

It was rare for this lazy Chu fox to use his brain so much, and when he heard his muttering, everyone's eyes turned to him, and then looked at Xu Yifan.

Xu Yifan shrugged his shoulders: "I don't have enough information, how can I judge?" From now on, keep an eye on the Northlands! After doing such a big thing, you have to jump out and reap the benefits. At that time, you will be able to know who is there to betray Fengyun Thunder and Lightning! When the time comes, Lao Tzu will always have a way to deal with it! Now, it's just a matter of waiting and seeing!

………… Now, it is not us who is most anxious and afraid, but the imperial court! ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tan Sitong staggered out of the sedan chair, and the tears on his face were still dry.

As soon as the news of Liu Kun's death came, Guangxu summoned him several times, and every time he summoned him to ask the right question, both the monarch and the minister looked at each other and cried.

The imperial court has declined, and it has reached such a point! The governor of Zhili was assassinated in his own territory!

The first reaction in Yanjing City was that Xu Yifan did it! In addition to anger, there is more fear. As the saying goes, a poor family produces a filial son, and it is difficult to see loyalty and goodness in the country. However, at this time in the Qing Dynasty, the family was poor and loyal, and it was difficult to see filial sons in the country. The six departments and nine qing, as well as the yamen of the capital, have gone a lot for a while. If you want to rely on Yulu to eat, you have to starve when you go home, so you have to be a loyal minister, stop in Yanjing City, and keep saying that you want to be the last pure minister of the Qing Dynasty.

The festive atmosphere at the end of the New Year in Beijing was cleaned up in a blink of an eye. Every family in Sijiu City is closed, especially the Qiren family, who doesn't know that Liu Laoshuai is the Zijin Liang of this moment? Now that the beam has collapsed, we don't know where everyone's whereabouts are!

Even in the garden, in the past few days, the Empress Dowager Cixi Lafayette has cried several times during the meal, and her temper is extremely bad, and there is a night visit to Guangxu, and the mother and daughter hugged their heads and cried all night!

At the place where Liu Kun was killed, a discarded firearm with the symbol of the Praetorian Guard was found. It is impossible for the imperial court to harm Liu Kunyi, and only Xu Yifan has the strength to do the rest! But what can be done? Could it be that the world is electrified, saying that Xu Yifan is the murderer. Going to crusade against him soon? Whether the governors buy it or not, there are now 10,000 elite soldiers of Xu Yifan in southern Liaoning. As long as the court and Xu Yifan tear their faces, they can go south immediately, what will the court do to stop it?

Guangxu summoned Tan Sitong several times, but they all cried bitterly: "I want soldiers!" No matter what method you use, help me train this soldier! Refresh as you want. You can improve as much as you want. I'm all from you! As long as I train 100,000 soldiers within half a year! ”

Before Liu Kun left, he left his military power to Tan Sitong. His subordinates are grateful for the kindness of the old handsome, and the final arrangement for Liu Kunyi is to be cautious, and now he only listens to Tan Sitong's dispatch. The last strength and the greatest power of the Qing Dynasty now fell on Tan Sitong by accident. If you want to train troops, you can't get around him as a powerful faction no matter what. Guangxu pinned all his hopes on him, and Tan Sitong felt that the burden on his shoulders was so heavy that he could hardly bear it!

Did Liu Kun have an ominous premonition early in the morning and feel that this burden was so heavy, so he resolutely traveled, but in fact, he was bent on dying?

Chang Sui wanted to help the haggard Tan Si back to the study, but he waved his hand and pushed him away, but he walked forward unwillingly.

If we want to train troops, we have to raise salaries and use qualified personnel. Kang Youwei's support for training troops with the power of Da Shengkui seems to be a necessity............ Even if you use the power of Da Shengkui to pull out a shelf. What about the follow-up salary? 100,000 new troops, the maintenance cost alone is more than 15 million taels a year, where to open this source?

If the source cannot be opened, there is only throttling. The greatest hope for throttling is those salary expenses............ Stopping the flag salary or giving it half of the discount is a big move! Now, is that the only way to take that risk is to take that risk? If he can really train his troops, maybe no one can threaten his Tan Sitong's status, is it just to use this to break the kettle and refresh and improve all the court situation!

Phoenix Nirvana, may be reborn from the fire............ He has always hoped to unite the majority of the people in the DPRK and China to carry out the reform cause in a steady manner. Now it seems that the only way to save this crisis is to let go! Such turmoil is already extremely fragile to the extreme, can the imperial court withstand it? But Xu Yifan didn't leave him much time!

Thinking of Xu Yifan, Tan Sitong's heart was tight.

Brother Chuanqing............ I didn't expect that you would be able to assassinate Liu Laoshuai............ I, Tan Fusheng, really saw the wrong person! It can only be you, and it is only you, because only you will get the greatest benefit in this matter!

Brother Chuanqing, I am entrusted by Liu Laoshuai on his deathbed, and I have no choice but to fight against you to the end! No matter what means are used!

No other way!

Tan Sitong's footsteps were vain, and he didn't know how to get to the study.

When I arrived at the door, I saw the curtain of the study lifted. Kang Youwei, who had avoided seeing him for the past few days, had already walked out with a sneer on the corner of his mouth. Standing respectfully behind him was Han Zhongping, the god of wealth in the north, who was dressed in a fur coat. His head was kept down, and he couldn't see the look on the old man's face clearly.

Kang Youwei just looked at Tan Sitong coldly, and Tan Sitong also froze there, looking at Kang Youwei blankly, unable to say a word.

“………… Resurrection, here and now, do you have any other choice? Only to form a new army! Otherwise, what to use to deal with Xu Yifan, our time is running out! ”

Tan Sitong sighed, shook his head bitterly, and then stared at the silent old man Han.

"Old Han! Tan only asked one sentence, you broke your family property and supported the imperial court to train the new army. What the hell is it for! Don't talk to me about all that loyalty! ”

Han Zhongping was shocked and slowly raised his head. The old man's expression couldn't be said to be solemn, but he smiled faintly: "Master Tan, the family wealth is so decrepit, and there is no pursuit of money anymore." All that is left is power............ It's a pity that Xu Dashuai refuses to give this power to the old man, otherwise, why would I go back to the North? To tell the truth, as long as Xu Dashuai agrees with the old man's conditions, maybe I am still doing my best for him at this time, plotting this Qing Dynasty!

………… Dasheng Kui has been outside the mouth for a long time, there are rich people, as long as you can approve the East and West Mongolia, Suiyuan and Liaoxi, allow me to Dasheng Kuiyong Town, and protect my Dasheng Kui Baidai Foundation. The old man fully supports Lord Tan! Help the adults train the new army, and help the adults cut off the opponents of the DPRK and China............ In these places, the liuguan was changed to a hereditary position. It is still the land of the Qing Dynasty, but all internal affairs are dictated by Da Shengkui, and we will hold this northern land for the imperial court! The old man's ambition is just that! ”

Tan Sitong's face was as pale as death, and he looked at Han Zhongping with a calm expression.

After a long time, he spoke in a hoarse voice: "............ I can help you ask for this, the court will not allow it, I will not guarantee it. ”

Han Zhongping smiled: "With a word from Lord Tan, what else is the old man worried about?" Da Shengkui will ensure that the adult is the first person in the court, and when the time comes, the adult can make a decision, and the old man's conditions are still afraid that they will not be realized? ”

Tan Sitong's expression did not relax a little: "Nanhai, Han Lao is the shopkeeper, Tan someone just has a word." Although the regiment is allowed to train the new army, all matters are in the hands of someone Tan, if you are in it and do something unseemly, don't blame someone Tan for turning his face! Liu Gong's more than 10,000 troops are now in the hands of someone Tan! It's okay to start a group, but no matter how the group starts, you can't enter within thirty miles of the Yanjing city wall! Whichever group comes in, Tan will kill it! ”
