Yang Du's suggestion is very pertinent, but it is also quite harsh, to put it bluntly, your reputation Yuan Shikai is too bad, no one believes you when you tell the truth, and no one believes you if you tell a lie, this is a problem of character.

Lao Yuan betrayed Emperor Guangxu in the early years, whether it is true or not, Lao Yuan's image is not so good-looking, plus as an old-style bureaucrat Lao Yuan's secret belief in power, this thing can be used, but since it is a technique, it can't enter the avenue, and in this era of advanced information, many things are not hidden at all, such as Lao Yuan seizing the throne of the president, not only to be a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty, but also to bully other orphans and widows, how to say it is not good.

Of course, these are all details, the key is that after Lao Yuan took power, the livelihood of the people has not improved, but it is becoming more and more difficult, and there are more and more harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, how can the people say that you are good, Yuan Shikai's popularity will be lost in the long run, as an important adviser of Lao Yuan, Yang Du is now admonishing at this time in the hope that Yuan Shikai can maintain his authority and let the people benefit.

How shrewd Lao Yuan is, how can he not understand the meaning of Yang Du's words, but does he still have the confidence to reform, and his energy and talent can change the face of China? Lao Yuan not only remembered the paster Li Hongzhang at this time, but also Lao Zhongtang must have been in this mood back then.

However, Yuan Shikai does not admit that he is old, has no ambition, and is willing to accept the status quo, "Huizi, there are too many constraints, and I am also powerless!" ”

Yang Du listened to Lao Yuan's sigh, and his heart moved slightly, how can he get the president out of his constraints and follow his words? An idea gradually sprouted in Yang Du's heart.

The new Republic of China is moving forward with difficulty, Sichuan has also encountered a serious test, the Tuojiang River section has rained heavily, Tang Yisheng has taken the lead in arriving, commanding flood control matters, Qiao Yu is also very worried about floods, since ancient times, water and fire are ruthless, if there is a large-scale flood, there will be heavy casualties, seriously affecting grain production, it is very likely to affect the overall situation of Sichuan's stability, Qiao Yu can not help but worry.

Of course, in the face of disasters is not only a test for the political axe, but also an opportunity, just to prove that he is standing with the people of Sichuan, how difficult it is to prosper the country mostly from here, Qiao Yu went south along the Tuojiang River, Lu Wanqing also followed closely, she suffered a lot in Tibetan Province, her face was tanned, her delicate skin was also damaged in many places, and her hearts were broken, but as soon as the old lady of the Bai family saw Lu Wanqing coming back from Tibetan Province, she handed her a jade bracelet close to her.

The identity of this daughter-in-law has been determined, marrying a wife is not only based on appearance, but also on whether she can share weal and woe with you, so Mrs. Bai must not let go of this good daughter-in-law, and she said that she said for most of the night, which is nothing more than handing over her son to her. ‘

Sichuan rainstorm continues, and after the catastrophe, there must be a big epidemic, Lu Wanqing naturally took the medical team to act with Qiao Yu, rushed for three days in a row, and the group arrived in Neijiang, at this time Neijiang is still raining day and night, Neijiang is located in the lower reaches of the Tuojiang River, is an important cotton, sugarcane production area and sugar industry center, the relationship is significant, after coming out of Chengdu, it is raining all the way, the water level of the Tuojiang River rises very rapidly, a little careless, there is the possibility of the embankment being destroyed and people dying.

At this time, Sichuan has been fully mobilized, all local officials everywhere have come to the front line of flood fighting, Qiao Yu has already given a death order, which official dares not to go to the front line, dismissed on the spot, and at the same time, the militia and police in various places have also been mobilized, all of them are ready to fight.

It can be said that this kind of mobilization ability is beyond the reach of other provinces, of course, there is not too much mystery in it, the key is that the ruling class in Sichuan is a group of industrialists, everyone knows that the organizational ability of the workers is far above the peasants, and the mobilization and organizational ability of the ruling group in Sichuan is not comparable to other provinces, coupled with Qiao Yu's death order, no one in Sichuan dares to slack off.

"Old Tang, how is the situation now?" On the first day of Qiao Yu's arrival in Neijiang, he personally led people to the Yangtze River embankment, at this time thousands of people had gathered on the embankment, constantly reinforcing the embankment, and under the embankment was the tumbling river, like an angry dragon, ready to break free at any time, rushing out with teeth and claws.

Tang Yisheng's face was also very grim. touched the rain on his face: "Dashuai, the situation is very urgent now, the upstream water is very large, many of the embankments are in disrepair, there are people on the embankments day and night, and there are leaking pipes gushing in some sections, if the water continues to go on like this, I am afraid that it will not be able to hold it!" ”

Qiao Yu frowned, looking at the river under his feet, his heart was extremely heavy, all kinds of floods and droughts in the Republic of China were frequent, and it was good to be able to kill more than 100 people, and human life was so worthless.

"Old Tang, I immediately ordered the second division to be mobilized, I am afraid that the people alone will not be able to hold on, and let Wang Chengji mobilize materials as soon as possible, organize the people as well, the young and strong will go to the embankment, and the old and weak women and children will be evacuated as soon as possible, tell the people that human life is the most important, as long as the surname is saved, the loss will be borne by the political axe, and other cities in Tuojiang must also be mobilized, strictly guarded, and deal with whoever goes wrong, I won't mind taking down a few heads!"

Qiao Yu gave an order, and immediately the entire Syrian Mansion was mobilized, and at this time, the commander of the second division was Shi Yi, and as soon as he heard Qiao Yu's order. Hurriedly gathered the troops and all came to the embankment.

"Marshal, all the 3,520 officers and soldiers of the Second Division have arrived, so please give an order!"

Qiao Yu nodded slightly, and walked straight to the side of this heroic soldier: "Brothers, everyone is eating food and being soldiers, playing with guns, at this time I want you to pick up a shovel and pick to garrison the embankment, I believe some people still don't understand, but I want to tell you that the duty of a soldier is to protect the people, you are not those Qiu Eight Masters, but soldiers, pick up guns and cannons to protect the people, at this time the fight against floods is also to protect the people, there is no difference, behind you is Neijiang, which is the home of hundreds of thousands of people, Those people are your fathers and fellow villagers, can you watch their family ruin? ”

"Can't! No! The soldiers all shouted loudly. The sonic shook the world, even the people on the side were very surprised, there have been frequent floods over the years, but where have I seen these Qiu Ba Masters participate in the disaster relief, I am afraid that the water has not yet arrived, they have long since run away, it is not bad if they don't take the opportunity to loot, this army actually wants to guard the embankment with the people, and everyone has a different feeling in their hearts.

Under Qiao Yu's order, these officers and soldiers were all thrown into the embankment, they were strong and well-trained, and they quickly strengthened the embankment according to the instructions to prevent leakage, and they were very busy.

Wang Chengji also Neijiang brought all the officials gathered on the embankment, patrolled so that the adults came in person, these people have nothing to say, even if they are afraid, they dare not say it, whether they want to or not, they must do their best to protect the embankment, and dare not have any slackness.
