(.) Chapter 297

Fang Jianxiong once again felt tremendous pressure, and on this occasion, what the US consul said undoubtedly represented the bottom line of the United States. Don't look at cooperation with the United States, but many projects have not been fully carried out at present, once the United States believes that Fang Jianxiong has no meaning and value of support, turning the face in front of national interests is as easy and simple as turning a book.

First of all, it is clear that it is impossible for the US government to openly confront other countries for the sake of Fang Jianxiong. Even the German Emperor Wilhelm II, a madman, could not do such a thing. Unless World War I breaks out, Germany may be able to win over China after it is caught in the dilemma of fighting on two fronts. At present, Germany is still largely immersed in the illusion of being able to win quickly.

The statement of the US consul is undoubtedly a bottom-line attitude.

No matter how tough Fang Jianxiong is, he must express his position at this time. Anyway, Fang Dashuai didn't plan to make a move on Yuan Shikai now, and it would drag on for a few months, which was right for Fang Jianxiong.

"Okay. I think you've convinced me. Well, so be it. According to the expenses of the infantry divisions of the Beiyang Army, the cost of ten infantry divisions per year, I accept. But I have a small request, a general election will be held within three months, a new cabinet will be elected, and there will be no excessive interim cabinet. If you think it's okay, that's it. Fang Jianxiong shrugged helplessly, and when the consuls looked at each other with their eyes, Jensen and Takahashi had already stood up and applauded together excitedly. It's not easy to finally get rid of this bastard warlord. The other consuls could only applaud along.

Of course, the rest of the story has to continue. When the crowd returned to the reception. Alice tried to come over several times, but was stopped by her mother. It wasn't until Fang Jianxiong said goodbye that Alice got the opportunity to come out to see him off. In this regard, the mother's eyes were full of worry. Fisher's father's eyes are more complicated.

Fang Jianxiong's car had disappeared into the darkness, and the girl Alice was reluctant to turn back. When I saw my parents, I came in with my head bowed a little shyly.

Fang Dashuai on the car. At this time, he was relentlessly thinking about something else. People who do big things are bastards decisively!

When the boat ferry returned to Wuchang, Fang Dashuai stood on the deck. Look at the lights of the city opposite. Quietly leaning over beside her was Yin Nuxia, who reported in a low voice: "I just got the news that Sun and Huang from Nanjing decided to go north. Discuss state affairs with Yuan Shikai. Not surprisingly, tomorrow morning, Sun got on the train from Pukou, went to Xuzhou to meet Huang Xing, and then went north together. ”

History is still hard to reverse! Fang Dashuai was a little helpless, but he was more relieved. According to this rhythm, in less than a year, it seems that Song Jiaoren won the general election and then was killed. Now this general election has been advanced by Fang Dashuai. There is no transition of the interim cabinet. Directly elect the cabinet, I wonder what history will become like in this way? Do you want to push it in private and let Song Jiaoren continue to win the election? Or do you want to join the Kuomintang led by Soong to run for election?

After thinking about this question for a while, Fang Dashuai felt that it was of little significance, as long as Song Jiaoren was elected. Yuan Shikai's murder of Song was detained, no matter who did it, he was the biggest beneficiary. When the time comes, someone will have an excuse to launch a second revolution. What about the truth of history? Fang Jianxiong doesn't know!

However, Fang Dashuai knows better that history does not need the truth. As many years later, a certain paragraph said. History is an X, when someone needs to do it, they do it. The purpose of doing it is naturally for profit. (A writer snickers)

"Looks like it's time to get ready for the general election!" Fang Jianxiong sighed leisurely at the rolling Yangtze River in the dark. In fact, Fang Dashuai has been working hard to change something, but unfortunately, Fang Dashuai's efforts have basically ended in failure. Since the beginning of the alliance with Nanjing, Fang Dashuai has been trying to cooperate with the actual leaders of the Chinese revolution today, based on the new elite class born in the past ten years, and through the guò alliance to change the old path of the past. Now it seems that Fang Dashuai's efforts have failed, although he is constantly laying out in advance with one hand at a time, history is still tenaciously following the huge inertia track and maintaining the general direction.

"Dashuai, what is the election?" The female bandit Shangguan Xue asked very suddenly. Fang Dashuai glanced at this girl whose actual age was as old as Alice, and was a little emotional. Look at this one, at the age of sixteen, his hands were covered in blood.

"General election? It is those adults with heads and faces, for their own pockets, forming gangs, and then deciding in a relatively fair way who will hold the power of the country. Fang Jianxiong's explanation, Shangguan Xue didn't understand it very well, but she said the truth: "Those glamorous-looking big people don't have many good things." ”

"yes, it's not a lot of good stuff. But this country, if it really has to be governed by good people, it will be really troublesome. Fang Jianxiong's words were a little deeper, Shangguan Xue felt that her brain was not enough, and she looked at Fang Dashuai's face in a daze, which was much softer in the dark. Yin Nuxia came over and patted her on the shoulder, and laughed in a low voice: "What do you care about so much, just do your own thing." ”

………………………………

The next day, Yuan Shikai's two envoys, escorted by the consuls of Britain, France, Japan, Russia, and the United States, came to the office building of the United Autonomous Regional Political Affairs Committee led by Fang Dashuai. He was accompanied by a large number of journalists.

In the words of this reporter, after some friendly exchanges and in a harmonious atmosphere, the two sides reached a unity of political views. Ultimately......................... This day is April 27, 1912. On this day, after leaving office, former interim president Sun announced the northern capital after a short period of silence.

Yuan Shikai sent a telegram to the whole country on this day, saying: After many consultations, the unified Republic of China has finally been established. In order to achieve the goal of peaceful statehood, the Provisional Government accepted many demands from the United Autonomous Region, among which negotiations for financial and military independence were the most difficult. ......, however, for the peaceful Republic of China, any pay, Shikai is willing!

Anyway, Yuan Shikai's power is to put gold on his face. In order to achieve the goal of peaceful nation-building, endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens, etc.! How much the concession is huge! On the other hand, it sets off that the marshal is a reactionary warlord who wants to engage in local autonomy, undermine peace, create friction, and try to split the motherland!

Fang Dashuai is not good at stubble, and the United Autonomous Region's telegram to the whole country said: Under the coordination of the governments of various governments and the unremitting efforts of the United Autonomous Region, the Republic of China has finally ushered in an excellent situation of peaceful reunification. At the same time, with the efforts of the autonomous regional government, a formal general election will be held on 1 August to elect a new cabinet.

The mouth cannons under the command of Fang Dashuai are also full of firepower when they catch this matter. They all revealed that Yuan Xiangcheng colluded with foreigners to suppress Fang Dashuai. Take pride in betraying national interests in exchange for the support of the great powers. Anyway, the purpose is one, to praise Fang Dashuai and discredit Yuan Shikai. The newspapers of the League and other budding parties were not idle, and their respective newspapers published articles one after another, saying: We passed by the soy sauce maker! The soy sauce party also has an appeal to appear.

Anyway, peace has finally come. However, there was another thing that once again attracted Fang Dashuai's attention.

Yin Changheng called from Chengdu, hoping that Fang Dashuai could help with a batch of firearms, and he was going to Xikang to quell the rebellion. The telegram said that they first asked for help from Nanjing, but to no avail, and then asked for help from Beiyang, but to no avail. The matter of counterinsurgency really can't be delayed, otherwise it will be difficult to handle after a long time, so I have to ask Fang Dashuai for help.

Fang Jianxiong didn't say a word, and immediately called back: "3,000 rifles, 500,000 round-headed bullets will be loaded on the ship on the same day, and a bill of exchange of 100,000 yuan will be handed over by Chongqing Garrison Commander Gao Sheng, and it will be checked!" ”

Fang Jianxiong was quite low-key in this matter and did not disclose it to the outside world. When the telegram arrived in Chengdu, when Yin Changheng pinched the telegram to face the teacher Hu Jingyi, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "Teacher, you know people's hearts at this moment!" ”

Hu Jingyi didn't quite understand why Fang Dashuai was so generous, but from the position of taking advantage of others and eating people's mouths, he still sighed with emotion: "Since the revolution, the whole country has been in turmoil, and all interests have come first. This telegram shows Fang Fuguo's patriotism. As the saying goes, thousands of miles of the Yellow River, mud and sand are falling. ”

Yin Changheng pinched the telegram and was silent for a long time. This matter was heard by Dong Xiuwu, who happened to come in, and he came forward to ask only to know that the reply from Nanjing and Beijing was that Yin Changheng should not worry about it, and he would wait for a while to talk about it, and wait for the national political situation to stabilize.

Dong Xiuwu smiled bitterly at that time: "It is said that Fang Fuguo is a warlord, and I think that the more such warlords, the better." After leaving, Dong Xiuwu had dinner with Zhang Lan in the evening and talked about it. Zhang Lan was shocked and wrote a manuscript overnight, and the next day a newspaper in Chengdu published the matter.

Just such a thing, Fang Dashuai's image seems to be a little taller, at least in Sichuan. A week later, Yin Changheng sent people to Chongqing to get equipment and bills of exchange, and announced that he would personally lead the 1st and 2nd Divisions to Xikang to quell the rebellion, and Hu Jingyi would act as the governor. Yin Changheng, as in history, chose to believe in his teacher. In history, Hu Jingyi chose Yuan Shikai and successfully replaced the students. Later, Yin Changheng went to Beijing to take up his post, and Hu Jingyi served as the overseer. However, Hu Jingyi in history, belonged to the interest of being played by Lao Yuan, and after Chen Eun entered Sichuan, Hu Jingyi gave way.

History, it seems, has not changed, but the essence has changed.

Tang Shaoyi's provisional cabinet finally gave birth to the provisional prime minister Tang Shaoyi in the face of the protests of the United Autonomous Region.

On May 5, when Sun and Huang arrived in Beijing, Yuan Shikai held a grand welcome ceremony. History, no joke at all, repeats this scene. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
