Yuan Shikai is ready to officially ascend the throne and become the emperor in a voice of support, but the old Yuan also has a few heart problems in his heart, the first is Beiyang, although the old Yuan is lustful, but he is not confused, Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang and other old guys in the past are all against the imperial system, which makes him a little weak in his heart, the second point is that the southwest, Sichuan and Yunnan are outside the control of Yuan Shikai, if these two places join forces to make trouble, I am afraid that something will not be good, and the third is the great powers, and now the attitude of the great powers is ambiguous, so that the old Yuan is also uncertain.

"Keding, my father has always felt that his energy has been a little lacking in recent years, and I don't know if it's right or wrong to ascend the throne and become the emperor, you have to think about things more, this business belongs to you young people after all!"

"Father, you are always the life of the long live lord, and now the people of the world are looking forward to you being able to reign in the world, and the children are also looking forward to your old blessings and protection!" The eldest prince Yuan Keding said with joy on his face, and the color on his second brother Yuan Kewen's face on the side was not good-looking.

"Daddy, big brother, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first!"

"Second brother, you stop, you want to call your father, why don't you even know a little bit of etiquette?"

Although Yuan Kewen is also Yuan Shikai's son, his biggest hobby is all in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he is also good at singing.

"Big brother, my father hasn't officially called the emperor yet, what's wrong with me calling me that, but big brother, don't be a prince, be careful to bring trouble to our family!"

"Second child, how do you speak? Are there any rules? My father and the emperor are looking forward to it, how can there be any trouble, this time of great joy, don't be unbelievable! ”

"Humph! Maybe who's talking about it, Dad, although those friends I know support you as emperor on the surface, but I have long seen that those people are disdainful from the bottom of their hearts, and now the newspapers are full of all kinds of opposition articles, why are you still deceived by the eldest brother! ”

"Second child, those friends you know, what do you know, it's a fart!" Yuan Keding continued to scold his second brother Yuan Kewen, but Yuan Shikai, who had not spoken, slapped the table violently, "I'm not dead yet, you all shut up, Kewen, you tell me the truth, what is said on the market now, I want to listen to the truth!" ”

Yuan Kewen peeked at his father, only to see Yuan Shikai's hands trembling uncontrollably, his face was red, obviously angry to the extreme, he also knew that he had lost his words, "Dad, children are all nonsense, just to be angry big brother, don't be angry!" ”

While he was talking, there was another cry outside, "Oops! Your Majesty, you can call the shots for me, I have been with you for so many years, even if I can't be the queen, am I not even worthy of an imperial concubine, what face do I have to meet people, it's better to die! ”

A flowery woman walked in crying, and threw herself in front of Yuan Shikai at once, "Your Majesty, how many years have the slave family served you, and you said the day before yesterday that you would not treat me badly, why did you give it to an imperial concubine, how can it be a noble concubine!" ”

Just when this aunt was crying, another gust of fragrant wind wafted in, and several aunts and wives came, and they immediately surrounded Yuan Shikai, crying sadly one by one, delicate and moving.

"Your Majesty, just be considerate of us!"

Yuan Shikai's head was instantly made several times bigger by these women, and before he really became the emperor, these women were jealous all day long, making the family restless, and the noisy old Yuan barely had a moment of peace, Yuan Shikai had more and more gray hair on his head during this time, and there were also patches of age spots on his face, which looked much older.

When these aunts and wives were noisy, Yang Du hurriedly came to the main hall, Yang Du's face was full of sweat, and he looked very anxious, "Your Majesty, something is wrong, Sichuan has been electrified against the imperial system!" ”

Yuan Shikai's head suddenly seemed to explode when he heard this, and then looked at the aunts and wives who invited pets and competed for the wind with great depression, "Get out of here, get out!" ”

Yuan Shikai shouted like a wounded beast, these aunts and wives and Yuan Kewen all left in disgrace, only Yuan Keding retreated to the main hall, listening carefully to the situation, Yang Du took a few steps and handed over the electricity to Yuan Shikai.

There are a total of four telegrams, the content is similar, all of them are against Yuan Shikai's claim to be the emperor, but the identities of these four people are too amazing, the first telegram is Qiao Yu, the envoy of the Sichuan Patrol, the second is Duan Qirui, the general of Beiyang, the third is Liang Qichao, the leader of the Progressive Party, and the fourth is Cai Yi, the governor of Yunnan.

These four people can give Lao Yuan a headache at random, and among the four telegrams, Qiao Yu and Duan Qirui's words were more polite, but they only accused Yuan Shikai of listening to the villain's slander, and called for the reconvening of the National Congress, so that Yuan Shikai could really listen to the voices of the people and carefully consider the issue of the national system, instead of listening to some people's nonsense.

Liang Qichao and Cai Yi's telegram was very loud, directly warning Yuan Shikai that if he insisted on going his own way, he would inevitably be spurned by the people, and it would also plunge China into a monstrous war, this is the war book, Lao Yuan's already big head is getting bigger and bigger, watching those words almost become a dagger knife with a handle and stabbing directly at Lao Yuan's mouth, making his breathing tighter and tighter.

"Huizi, you can give me an idea!"

"Your Majesty, the soldiers will block, the water will come to cover, there is nothing to fear, Sichuan and Yunnan are all provinces in the southwest, as long as they are good at defense, they can be blocked in the southwest, Your Majesty's two southwestern provinces are only four routes, the first is to go north from Sichuan to Shaanxi, and then threaten Yanjing, the second is to go straight down the Yangtze River, attack Wuhan, the third is to attack Hunan from Guizhou, the fourth is to attack Guangxi from Yunnan, a total of four roads, as long as Your Majesty strengthens the vigilance and selects capable soldiers to defend, you will be able to block the army in the southwest, In addition, His Majesty should also strive to disintegrate the other party, Qiao Yu did not shout and kill this time, I estimate that he will not send too many troops, Sichuan is now a supply base for the great powers, and the great powers will not easily allow him to use troops abroad, which will affect the production of materials, so he can be appeased with all his might, and it should be both soft and hard for Cai Yi. ”

After Yang Du finished speaking, Yuan Shikai nodded slightly, "Huizi, it was you who suggested that I change to the monarchy constitutional system, and now when the national turmoil is the most in need of loyal ministers, you must not bear me!" ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will do my best!"

Yang Du bowed and left, at this time he suddenly saw the snow-white hair on Yuan Shikai's sideburns, as well as the age spots crawling all over his cheeks, Yang Du's heart was sour, Yuan Shikai turned out to be such an old man, did he still have the energy to realize his constitutional proposition? At this moment, Yang Du felt for the first time that he seemed to have chosen the wrong person, but at this point there was no turning back, he could only go on firmly!

Yanjing Zheng Axe is deploying troops and sending generals, wanting to encircle Sichuan and Yunnan, Qiao Yu is not idle, he is very aware of the mobilization ability of the Beiyang Army, and now the Beiyang generals have the intention of watching the excitement, no one will really give Lao Yuan his life, but after all, this is the first large-scale operation since the establishment of the Sichuan Army, and there must not be any problems.

Qiao Yu invited Jiang Baili, Wu Tong and others together to carefully study the battle plan against the map.

"Dashuai, from the southwest environment, Yuan Shikai will definitely use Gansu, Shaanxi, Hubei, Hunan, Guangxi provinces as a blockade line, the whole line to contain the southwest army attack, we mainly deal with the enemy in Shaanxi, Gansu and Lianghu, so northern Sichuan and eastern Sichuan are the main battlefields, but Dongchuan is related to the safety of the Yangtze River waterway, as well as the smooth flow of the Sichuan-Han Railway, is the main battlefield of this operation, I suggest that the marshal immediately send troops to control the Sichuan-Han line, and must not let this economic artery that is about to be broken by Beiyang, If necessary, you can rely on the power of the Entente! Jiang Baili suggested on the side.

Qiao Yu nodded again and again, "The Sichuan-Han line is the most important, but there is absolutely no room for error, Fang Zhou, what does Xia Douyin mean now?" ”

Wang Lingji hurriedly replied: "Dashuai, Xia Douyin is very opposed to Yuan Shikai being the emperor, but he is weak and weak, and everything has to obey our arrangement!" "Xia Douyin's ordnance and salary all rely on Sichuan's help, as if he is already a peripheral force in Sichuan, how can he not obey Qiao Yu's orders.

"In this case, let his army be mobilized, if the war starts, we must attack Wuchang first, and our army will also go out of Sichuan to control Yichang, and there must be no mistakes in the Yangtze River waterway and the Sichuan-Han Road!"

"Marshal, since we have taken an offensive posture on the eastern front, we should lure the enemy deep on the northern front, the combat strength of the army in Shaanxi and Gansu is not weak, but the logistics supply is difficult, as long as we lure them into Sichuan, we can wait for the opportunity to annihilate them in one fell swoop!"

Wu Tong's suggestion is very pertinent, the pressure on Sichuan is too great for an all-out attack, in addition to these two routes, Sichuan also has to assist Yunnan and Guizhou provinces to send troops, so we must try to save strength!

"Well, it's total, but the Shaanxi and Gansu armies are relatively fierce, we must hit these two armies hard, beat them painfully, cripple them, and the Qinzhou shipyard must also be protected, Guangdong's Long Jiguang is still loyal to Yuan Shikai, he is likely to threaten the safety of the Qinzhou shipyard!"

"Don't worry, I have sent Pan Wenhua with 1,200 men to defend, and the British side has also promised to help maintain the Qinzhou shipyard!"

The European war is in full swing, Qinzhou shipyard has begun to build cargo ships with the help of the British, mainly about 3,000 tons of cargo ships, all relying on British technology, and introduced a group of workers from the Mawei shipyard, Britain is now a headache for German submarines, and now the European naval war is to a certain extent a competition between shipbuilding capacity and submarines, who can't stand it, it will be finished, in this case Britain will definitely spare no effort to protect Qinzhou shipyard, of course, Sichuan also has enough strength, Otherwise, Britain may also sell the shipyard to Beiyang, and the virtues of the great powers are all about the same.

At the time of the discussion, a staff officer sent a telegram, asking the three provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou to form a coalition to jointly maintain the republican form of government and resolutely oppose Yuan Shikai's claim to be emperor!

After Qiao Yu looked at it, "Wu Tong, immediately send a message in the name of Sichuan, persuading Yuan Shikai to give up the imperial system and respect the republican system. ”

In such a beautiful day, I hope everyone is satisfied, and the small ones continue to code words, praying for collections.
