Chapter Thirty-Seven: Who Takes Refuge in Whom?

Chang Ruiqing's expression was still not moving, and he took Jin Yongyan's hand and walked towards the courtyard. This courtyard was secretly rented by Yan Hao after Chang Ruiqing's model regiment moved to Fengtai County, and the courtyard was very dilapidated, and there were a lot of sundries. Jin Yongyan, who had long been accustomed to enjoying it, glanced around, couldn't help frowning, and said in his heart: "What's the use of Chang Ruiqing making such a yard?" It can't be to raise a little wife, and it's not like living by yourself, is it just to arrange this meeting to be temporarily rented? ”

Jin Yongyan, who was full of suspicion, followed Chang Ruiqing into the hall, which was relatively clean, with a circle of chairs and coffee tables along the walls, but there was no other decoration. He and Chang Ruiqing each found a chair and sat down, while the others were all blocked out by Chang Ruiqing's guards. After a while, a young man who was about 16 or 7 years old, estimated to be Chang Ruiqing's orderly, brought two cups of tea, and then turned around and left.

"Principal, this is an extraordinary time, and the hospitality is not good, please forgive me." Chang Ruiqing arched his hand at Jin Yongyan and said with a smile: "The principal is now the person next to President Li University, and the student is now Duan Zhilao. ”

Jin Yongyan's heart sank, he accepted the previous pride, and also arched his hand: "Brother Yaoru, I can't hide it, Brother Fool is here to send a letter for the president, and at the same time, he also wants to get a practical reply from his brother." As he spoke, he took out two envelopes from his suit pocket and handed them to Chang Ruiqing.

Chang Ruiqing took the envelope with both hands and opened one of them first, but what he took out from it was a letter of appointment from the "Commander of the Presidential Palace Guard Brigade"! He was slightly stunned, and thought, "What medicine did this Li Yuanhong take wrong?" Do you think that you will betray Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng to join him, the empty president? Wrong! Li Yuanhong is not so stupid, there must be other truth in it. ”

At present, the situation in Beijing is extremely complicated, and history has changed slightly, and even Chang Ruiqing is a little confused. He thought about it carefully, and felt that it was likely that Li Yuanhong had reached a deal with Zhang Xun and was about to lure the wolf into the room, and he should have wooed himself to prevent Zhang Xun, the wolf, not Duan Qirui, the tiger of the Beiyang. Thinking of this, he opened another envelope, which was Li Yuanhong's handwritten letter, and there was no content, just some official wishes and words to win over feelings.

After reading the letter, Chang Ruiqing's thick eyebrows gradually twisted, he looked at the lobbyist Jin Yongyan, who was full of expectation, and said lightly: "Principal, presumably the situation in Beijing is about to change again, right?" ”

Jin Yongyan took a sip of the teacup, and asked with a light smile: "Why does Brother Yaoru ask knowingly?" Now that you are a celebrity next to Xu Youzheng, I am afraid that you know more about the situation than me, an adviser to the presidential office, right? He didn't wait for Chang Ruiqing to answer, so he took it on his own: "But the current situation is not something that Duan Zhiquan, the prime minister, can control!" I might as well tell my brother that Shaoxuan, the alliance of the Federation of Thirteen Provinces and Autonomous Regions, has secretly reached an agreement with the president and decided to stand on the side of the president! At this time, the telegram opposing the State Department's declaration of war on Germany has probably been sent, right? ”

History has really returned to the original track, and Li Yuanhong is facing the threat of a coup d'état, and he is really going to lure the wolf into the house! But why wasn't Chang Ruiqing waiting for this day?

He picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said coldly, "What's next?" President Li Da should order the dismissal of Duan Zhiquan as prime minister, and then ask Zhang Xun to lead troops into Beijing to mediate the so-called dispute between the government and the court, right? ”

Jin Yongyan was stunned, he didn't expect the other party to be clear about his next move! Could it be that Duan Qirui already knew about a qiē? Thinking of this, a thin bead of sweat had already appeared on his head.

Chang Ruiqing let out a long sigh: "Who is Zhang Xun?" What is the so-called Federation of Thirteen Provinces and Autonomous Regions? The prestige of the center is about to be lost, can't President Li Da take a step back and open the sky? Do you have to fight with Duan Zhi Lao for any more military power? A hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Actually, what kind of military power does Duan Zhilao's War Department have?" Except for one regiment of the younger brother, all other troops must be commanded with ocean money! What is the use of such military power? ”

Jin Yongyan looked at Chang Ruiqing, what kind of calculation is this person playing? How are Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng going to play their cards?

"Principal, the student makes a bet with you," Chang Ruiqing suddenly looked at Jin Yongyan with a smile again: "No matter whether Zhang Xun's pigtail army comes to Beijing or not, Li Huangpi (Li Yuanhong) will not be the president for a few days!" In today's troubled times of the Republic of China, the army has long become the private property of warlords like us! Hehe, the student now has a regiment of soldiers, and he can barely be regarded as a warlord. And how many soldiers did Li Huangpi have? I'm afraid there isn't a battalion, right? What else can such a president do if he doesn't obediently act as a seal? Principal, Li Huangpi can't do it, everyone knows this, but with the talent of the principal, why bother to bury Li Huangpi? Otherwise, when the president of Li Huangpi is gone, the principal might as well think about the students here? At that time, there will always be a mixed brigade commander among the students, and I am afraid that they will be able to go further in the future, if the principal does not have a good place to go, it is better to come to the students to act as a senior counselor, how about it? ”

Jin Yongyan was dumbfounded when he heard this, he was clearly here to persuade Chang Ruiqing to take refuge, but he didn't expect this student to win him over in turn! A mere regimental commander just breathed so loudly, as if the overseer and division commander had brought it in his hands! It's a bit overwhelming. He just wanted to open his mouth to refute a few words, but suddenly saw Chang Ruiqing find out of nowhere and found another piece of letterhead, handed it to Jin Yongyan, and said with a smile: "Principal, this is brought over by a friend from my hometown in Xuzhou, and everyone in my family has been protected by Zhang Xuanshuai's people...... I am a head of a regiment, and he is so troubled by a big handsome, I am afraid that after Zhang Xuanshuai enters Beijing, he will be a big conspirator! ”

Jin Yongyan was taken aback, and hurriedly took the raft and looked at it, the content of the letter was really about Zhang Xun and others "protecting" Chang Ruiqing's parents and "recruiting" Chang Ruiyuan to the Supervision Office. The letter is signed "Little Sister Yan'er", and the handwriting is also very beautiful, I don't know what the relationship is with Chang Ruiqing?

Why did this Zhang Xun put Chang Ruiyuan under house arrest? Did he force him to betray Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng and take refuge under his own door? Jin Yongyan shook his head secretly, Zhang Xun can't be so ruthless, it's just an internal contradiction in Beiyang, if he threatens his parents and family, I'm afraid he will be the public enemy of the Beiyang group! Who doesn't have parents, wives and children? It's a big taboo to move this. And Zhang Xun doesn't seem to have to do that, with his status as the leader of the Governor Legion, plus the status of the president and the Congress, he can force Duan Qirui away without blood, without Duan Qirui, the prime minister, how much role can Chang Ruiqing's regiment play? Unless Zhang Xun really wants to do something rebellious in Beijing! He was afraid that Chang Ruiqing's regiment would make trouble for him at a critical moment, so he had to make this decision.

"Yaoru, what are you going to do?" Jin Yongyan looked at Chang Ruiqing with a pale face.

Chang Ruiqing was silent for a long time, shrugged his shoulders, and said with a wry smile: "What else can I do?" Of course, only Xu Zhenggong and Duan Zhi are the first to look forward. ”

"What if they are ousted by the president and Zhang Shaoxuan?"

Chang Ruiqing sighed lightly, with a look of embarrassment: "Still with Xu Zhenggong and Duan Zhi as the leaders, we all know what Zhang Xun is going to do, as for what the whole world will react to, we don't know...... When the time comes, no one can compete with the general trend of the world, right? As he spoke, he looked at Jin Yongyan sincerely: "Headmaster, I have soldiers in my hands, and there are big trees like Duan Zhilao and Xu Zhenggong on them, as long as I don't jump out and embarrass him first, he won't touch my family." As for the president, hehe, I'm afraid it's hard to ride a tiger now, right? Principal, this situation is not something you have the power to change at all, so you might as well consider the students' construction. Students will not stay in Beijing for the rest of their lives, and when the time comes, students will want to use the principal's popularity in the south. ”

Chang Ruiqing really took out his heart when he said this, he knew that the warlord melee in the Republic of China has never been able to solve the problem by relying on the barrel of a gun alone, and he does not have an overwhelming advantage in force. What silver bullets, meat bullets and the wrists of relationships and friendships, sometimes they are more effective than simple force! And with Jin Yongyan's relationship with the southern warlords and the Kuomintang, if he can really temporarily attach himself to him, he will definitely be of great use in the future.
