Chapter 122: The Provisional Government
The invitation was sent by the "Federation of Representatives of the Provincial Governors' Offices," and it was clearly written that it was hoped that Yan Guang would send a "representative" to Wuhan to discuss the matter of preparing for the establishment of a provisional political axe.
In fact, such a thing as "deputies" had already been sent when the "Federation of Representatives of Provincial Governors' Offices" was established, but the deputies sent by Yan Guang in the past not only did not have fame but also had no rights, and were just a microphone for transmitting news and being responsible for liaison.
This kind of thing is nothing in normal times, but since it is ready to prepare for the establishment of a temporary political axe, the "Federation" also hopes that Yan Guang can send a more formal representative to attend, at least don't fool around with temporary workers.
"But do we have the right person for the head of the foreign affairs department now?"
"This, it doesn't seem to be..."After thinking about it carefully, Song Dinghan proposed. If it really doesn't work, let Pu Dianjun and them go..."
"Come to think of it, if there is no suitable candidate, he can only go once." Although the military and political axe has been established for less than a month, it has at least unified Sichuan and has a relatively solid foundation in Sichuan, and it no longer needs to worry about Pu Dianjun and other constitutionalists betraying themselves together as they did when they were first established.
At this time, if Pu Dianjun and this group of constitutionalists are sent again, they will have no worries, but the position of the Foreign Affairs Department still cannot be handed over to the constitutionalists, otherwise it will be difficult to ensure that the constitutionalists will not hook up with the Beiyang family after the north-south peace talks.
However, Yan Guang, Song Dinghan and Feng Nan thought about it all night in their own room, and after still not coming up with a suitable candidate, they could only ask Pu Dianjun to take a few people to Hubei by boat to discuss the matter of joint political axe.
"Brother Yingcai, the matter of Wuchang is all up to you." Holding Pu Dianjun's hands like a, Yan Guang shook it heavily. "If you suffer any grievances in Wuchang, come back quickly, and I will stand up for you."
Although he couldn't laugh or cry, Pu Dianjun still nodded gratefully.
When Pu Dianjun left by boat, Feng Nan asked on the side. "Governor, what kind of grievances will Minister Pu suffer?" In any case, Pu Dianjun is also a provincial minister, and because the matter of the Baolu Movement is also famous in China, Feng Nan really can't imagine what grievances he will suffer.
"Do you think the alliance over there in Wuchang will look at me pleasing to the eye now?"
"No!"
"Isn't that what it takes?!"

"Brothers, you must get these damn Sichuan dogs out of here!" Standing on the city wall, a robed man dressed as a leader shouted to the brethren below.
But just then, a guy who looked like a small boss nodded on his shoulder.
"What's the matter?" The leader said impatiently.
"This, big brother, we seem to be from Sichuan, will you scold us ourselves if you shout like this..."The little boss said with a wry smile, and a group of people in robes on the side were also looking at their boss with strange eyes.
As if noticing the gaze of his subordinates, the leader's face turned a rare red, but he still said stiffly. "As long as you can scold these guys, it doesn't matter if you scold yourself in." As he spoke, the leader shouted loudly to his subordinates. "Scold with me!"
When the leader's brother heard the order, he hurriedly responded, but no matter how he listened to it, he was very weak.
"This is called killing eight hundred enemies and losing one thousand..."Looking at the leader who was not so much hard-mouthed as arrogant, the little leader touched his chin and thought.
Although the Shu military and political axes in Yucheng have been voluntarily subsumed into the Sichuan military and political axes, those who are unwilling, especially those who know that Brother Pao has absolutely no chance to enter the upper echelons of the military and political axes, pull the brothers who are willing to follow them to start an incident in the surrounding counties and towns of Yucheng.
Of course, there are basically very few people who are willing or dare to stand up against Yan Guang, and there are only a handful of these robes who are entrenched in counties and towns that can exceed 1,000, so Yan Guang only sent two regiments of troops to wipe them out.
And after sweeping Yucheng, the states and counties that were still waiting and watching also sent people to express their willingness to join, of course, there were also some diehards who were loyal to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but before they could stand up against Yan Guang, they were already tied up and sent to Yan Guang's feet by the people under them.
"Dudu, you're doing well, and you're now able to do some light activities." In the Governor's Mansion, after examining Yan Guang's body, the doctor who had operated on Yan Guang smiled.
"Really?" After moving his shoulder slightly, making sure that it didn't hurt as much as before, Yan Guang was also happy. "So can I go back to Chengdu now?"
"Thisβ" The doctor shook his head after a moment's thought. It's okay to take a walk or something, but it's not okay to ride a horse or a carriage, your wound is only healing now, and it will easily reopen. β
"That's it..."Yan Guang was a little disappointed.
At this time, Song Dinghan on the side spoke. "Don't worry, Governor, I'll have someone send a wireless telegram."
After touching the gunshot wound on his shoulder, Yan Guang nodded. "That's good."
Two days later, when Pu Dianjun and his entourage arrived in Wuhan, Wang Er from Chengdu also sent a radio message, along with the news of the truce between Yuan Shikai and the Hubei Revolutionary Army.
"This is the beginning of the North-South peace talks in history." After reading this information, Yan Guang thought in his mind.
"It's really unexpected, I didn't expect this Yuan Shikai to actually negotiate peace with the revolutionary army." Feng Nan on the side frowned and said, according to the estimation of him and others, Yuan Shikai should take advantage of the situation to sweep away other revolutionary military and political axes after sweeping the revolutionary army in Hubei, but now Yuan Shikai will actually negotiate peace with the revolutionary army? This was indeed beyond everyone's expectations.
"There is nothing surprising, the end of the Manchu political axe has become a foregone conclusion, do you think Yuan Shikai will be satisfied with his current position." Yan Guang, who had just finished reading the information, heard Feng Nan say this, and laughed coldly twice on the side.
"You mean?" Feng Nan, Song Dinghan and the others all looked at Yan Guang.
"Pull down the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and then let yourself replace him, I'm afraid that's what Yuan Shikai is thinking about now." Of course, Yuan Shikai's ultimate goal is to become the emperor Yan Guang didn't say it, otherwise wouldn't he have become a god stick of an uncertain prophet? "By the way, is the wireless telegraph installed? I'm going to send two telegrams to Shanghai now. β
"It's ready, Governor." The officer in charge of the telegram said respectfully.
"That's good." Yan Guang nodded. "Send a telegram to Charlie of Jardine Matheson and Riddle of Rite and Matheson, saying that I have a big deal here, and let them send someone over, preferably in person."
"Yes!"
