In Wuchang City, Wang Yaowu was still thinking about how to punish those Beiyang Army.

"Is it impartiality? Still is? Leniency? ”

The former will definitely be able to win the military heart of the Beiyang Army, but it will lose the military heart of the National Social Army, and the military discipline of the National Social Army is likely to change quite in the future...

Thinking of this, Wang Yaowu had a headache, but after thinking about it for a long time, in the end, Wang Yaowu decided to take care of his descendants first. After all, they started with the National Social Army, not the Beiyang Army...

After making this decision, Wang Yaowu and Li Chun explained. It's not that Wang Yaowu needs to worry about Li Chun's thoughts, it's just that it's better to explain these things in advance.

Of course, Li Chun had no opinion on Wang Yaowu's decision, after all, what he had just said had already represented a break with the officers and men of the Sixth Division. Even if he can still hold the position of commander of the 16th Division, I am afraid that he will not have any authority—————— of course, it is even more impossible if he wants to rebel.

After obtaining Li Chun's consent, Wang Yaowu transmitted his opinion to Yan Guang in Jingzhou by telegram. After all, Yan Guang is the big boss, even if Wang Yaowu has the right to react on the spot, he needs to ask the big boss in advance.

When Wang Yaowu sent the telegram to Yan Guang, who was still in Jingzhou, Yan Guang was accompanying Cai Ye to check his body with the help of several German doctors.

In fact, Yan Guang didn't know what disease Cai Ye was suffering from, because Yan Guang didn't know much about it, but he remembered that Cai Ye died of illness in history. Therefore, after a short break in the war, Yan Guang asked several German doctors in the army to examine Cai Yi's body. By the way, when Yan Guang took Cai Ye to the doctor, Cai Ye was not very happy, because although Cai Ye often felt weak recently, he did not feel that he was suffering from any serious illness.

And Yan Guang didn't remember what kind of disease Cai Ye was suffering from, only knew that it was a difficult disease to treat, so he invited all the German doctors in Sichuan who were good at incurable diseases.

It's just that when the German doctors conducted a fairly detailed examination of Cai Ye under Yan Guang's advice, the conclusions reached by the German doctors made Cai Ye dumbfounded...

"It's tuberculosis..."

Holding the X-ray machine just came to the conclusion that a German doctor named Vodron said to Cai Ye and Yan Guang.

"Tuberculosis?!"

Hearing that it was this disease, Yan Guang frowned, although he didn't have any medical knowledge, Yan Guang also knew that it was a rather troublesome disease.

"Doctor, can it be cured?"

Hearing Yan Guang ask, Cai Ye also looked over with great concern. You must know what kind of famous general Cai Ye is, and now he is only in his early 30s, and now he hears that he is suffering from tuberculosis, so he is naturally quite concerned.

Hearing Yan Guang and Cai Ye ask this, Waldron first sighed, which made Yan Guang and Cai Yi's hearts all lift, and then nodded and said.

"Fortunately, it was detected early, and if hygiene and nutrition therapy were adopted, there might be a chance of healing..."

Health nutrition therapy is the main treatment method for tuberculosis before the 30s of the 20th century, and the main means adopted are more rest, more fresh air and more nutrition to improve the body's resistance. However, due to the lack of effective anti-tuberculosis drugs during this period, the treatment efficiency was greatly limited, and the cure rate of this treatment was only 25% at that time, and the mortality rate was the highest among all diseases at that time. And even if you are cured, there is a risk of recurrence if you are not careful.

However, a 25 percent cure rate is also a cure rate, which is much better than a little chance of nothing. It is also much better to have a risk of recurrence than not to have a chance of recurrence.

As for why Cai Ye died young in history? Tuberculosis is certainly one of the causes, but the most important reason is eight words. "Quack doctors misdiagnose and ignore human life."

Cai Ye suffers from throat disease is a well-known thing, and later because of overwork, Cai Yi's throat disease has been aggravated, after learning of this, Cai Yi's teacher Liang Qichao sent a telegram to the famous German doctor Asmi in Yucheng, asking him to rush to Chengdu as soon as possible to treat Cai Yi.

It's just that I don't know how this German named Asmi got the title of famous doctor, or whether this guy named Asmi once received money from Yuan Shikai or other political enemies of Cai Yi, and after treating Cai Yi, this famous German doctor actually mistook Cai Yi for syphilis. Abuse of plum repellent therapy for Cai Ng, and sprinkle boiling powder for him, which led to the aggravation of Cai Ng's condition...

Later, Cai Ye had to travel east to Yueben for treatment, but in the end he died young because the treatment was ineffective...

(There is also a theory that Cai was treated in a French hospital in early 1916.) The doctor gave him a chest X-ray, found that Cai Ye had severe blood type disseminated tuberculosis, and told him that "he is very sick and should recuperate." However, Cai believes that his throat disease has nothing to do with tuberculosis, and his disease is not serious, so it is impossible for him to get tuberculosis. Therefore, he did not treat his throat disease on time. Half a year later, Cai Yi's condition worsened, and after learning the news, Liang Qichao asked the German "famous doctor" Asmi to "treat" Cai Yi... ）

——————————

After learning that Cai Yi could be treated with "hygienic nutrition therapy", Yan Guang, who didn't know how low the effectiveness of this therapy was, breathed a sigh of relief, and Cai Yi was as relieved as he was.

At present, Cai Ye is only in his early thirties, and there are still many dreams that have not been realized—————— even Xiao Fengxian has not yet met him, and he is really unwilling to let him die of tuberculosis at this time.

Seeing Cai Ye breathe a sigh of relief, Yan Guang smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"If you want to work hard now, you'll have to wait a long time..."

Cai Yi nodded helplessly, although he didn't want to cultivate, but tuberculosis is not a trivial matter after all, if it is not treated well, it is likely that he will have a worry about his life, so even if he is unwilling, he can only rest for a while.

However, while nodding helplessly, Cai Ye also had some doubts in his heart, that is, would these German doctors be in communication with Yan Guang? After all, Cai still doesn't believe that he will suffer from tuberculosis...

Seeing Yan Guang and Cai Ye somewhat relaxed, Waldron on the side smiled bitterly.

No one knows better than as a doctor how high the cure rate is with health and nutrition therapy, yes, if you do this, there is indeed a 25% cure rate, but how many people in the world can be hit by this 25%?

But a good mood is also part of medical care, so Waldron can't tell them in person how many people can only choose the 75 percent. So Vodron could only watch from the sidelines and smile bitterly.

However, just when several people were still discussing Cai Yi's condition and medical treatment in the office, Yue Chang suddenly walked in from outside with a telegram.

"Governor, an urgent call from Wuchang."

"Urgent?"

Yan Guangyi frowned, he remembered that not long ago, Wang Yaowu had just sent a happy telegram to win Wuchang, why did he suddenly send another urgent telegram now? Could it be that something happened in Wuchang? It can't be that Duan Qirui fought back again, and Wuchang City was lost again, right?

But no matter what, Yan Guang still opened the telegram.

When he opened the telegram and found that it was only about the Beiyang Army and military discipline, Yan Guang breathed a sigh of relief.

"I thought it was something, but it was such a trivial matter..."

As far as Yan Guang was concerned, he never thought of forming the National Social Army and the future National Defense Force into an army similar to the Yuejia Army or the People's Liberation Army. But he never thought of letting the National Social Army degenerate to the point of "thieves", so this matter is actually very simple, as long as it is handled impartially in accordance with military law.

As for the military spirit of the Beiyang Army and the place where it needs to rely on them? Now that the battle situation has been decided, even if they lose their military hearts, it will only be a big deal to deal with Duan Qirui and them later. But if you connive at this unhealthy trend, then the legacy will not only be a matter of one or two years...

After such a decision, Yan Guang's decision was quickly forwarded back to Wang Yaowu's hands.

Looking at the telegram in his hand, Wang Yaowu nodded.

In the National Social Army, the crime of forcible annihilation is different from other crimes, and the responsibility for the crime of failure and attempt is the same, not to mention that the following rabbit cubs want to play rape. So the outcome that awaits them is the same, and it can only be the same.

However, there is no hurry to kill them at the moment, because Wang Yaowu is still of some use to them.

"Kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys."

"Killing chickens and making an example of monkeys?"

Hearing Wang Yaowu say this, Zhu Qinglan, Yang Shan, Peng Xiu and others all nodded. But Zhu Qinglan still asked later.

"But are those guys enough?"

Kill chickens and monkeys, and kill chickens, don't just find an ant to fill up, in that case, no one can be scared.

Fortunately, Wang Yaowu was prepared, so he hurriedly replied after hearing Zhu Qinglan's question.

"Don't worry, I've already asked, the highest-ranking soldier among these Beiyang soldiers is a platoon commander, and there is also a squad leader, and the rest are all soldiers." As he spoke, Wang Yaowu picked up a teacup from the table in the Governor's Mansion, moistened his throat and continued. "Although the position of the platoon commander is lower, the size is still a chicken, and it is enough for those newly joined Beiyang Army to remember military discipline."

"And what are you going to do?"

Putting the teacup down, Wang Yaowu took a few steps in place.

"First take those troublesome Beiyang soldiers into custody, wait for Yin Changheng and them to chase Duan Qirui back, and then punish them in front of the whole army—————— there have been too many victories in recent times, and those rabbit cubs below seem to be a little unruly, and they need to understand some rules..."

Recently, there has been a series of victories in Hubei, and a feeling of pride and complacency has permeated the Kuomintang army. Therefore, Wang Yaowu also wanted to take this opportunity to knock on the people below, even if this matter had nothing to do with the complacent mood that was pervading the Kuomintang Army at the moment.

Of course, in addition to the little things of the Beiyang soldiers, Wang Yaowu and them need to be busy a lot.

For example, the security notice of Wuchang, the rescue and resettlement of the people in the city, and the arrangement and management of the surrender of troops outside the city. To put it simply, if these things are not taken for three or five days, it is impossible to lay a foundation.

However, just when Wang Yaowu and the others were all handling affairs in the headquarters of the Governor's Mansion, Wang Yaowu's adjutant Ru Yujin suddenly ran out from outside.

Seeing Ru Yujin's panicked appearance, Wang Yaowu's face was somewhat unbearable.

"What do you look like in a panic."

But after Wang Yaowu finished scolding, Ru Yujin stammered.

"Minister, Duan Qirui, they sent someone to negotiate with us!"

"What?"

Hearing Ru Yujin say this, not only Wang Yaowu, but even Zhu Qinglan, who had not yet gone out, was stunned.

However, if what he said just now only shocked Wang Yaowu and them, then Ru Yujin's next words really shocked Wang Yaowu and them.

"Also, Master Yin Changheng said that Yuan Shikai is dead!"

“！！！”

In fact, it is not Duan Qirui that they want to negotiate with Wang Yaowu, to be precise, it should be Wang Zhanyuan, Yang Shande and others who want to negotiate with Wang Yaowu. Because after learning of Yuan Shikai's death, Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang and several other old people who were loyal to Yuan Shikai had already taken a torpedo boat sent by Liu Guanxiong to Shanghai, preparing to transfer the passenger ship from Shanghai to return to the north to settle their families.

When leaving, only Wang Zhanyuan and Liu Guanxiong and other people who did not leave left left this sentence...

"Gong Bao is dead, and if he continues to resist, he will only sacrifice the lives of the soldiers in vain, so it is better to give up early in order to strive for a good future..."

Yuan Shikai is dead, and Beiyang is equivalent to a group of dragons without a leader, so there is no possibility of continuing to fight with the National Social Army. Of course, Yuan Shikai also has an eldest son, Yuan Keding, and at this time, Yuan Keding did not ride a horse and fall lame like in history. But although Yuan Keding can't be regarded as a waste, but in terms of courage and ability, it is not enough for Yuan Shikai's hundred and one, let Feng Guozhang and them assist Yuan Shikai, the eldest son who is not angry? Feng Guozhang: They really don't have this confidence.

However, loyal to Yuan Shikai all his life, Feng Guozhang and they are not ready to serve Yan Guang again, after all, Yuan Shikai at this time is not like he wants to be the emperor, and they have no reason to betray Yuan Shikai. Therefore, after taking the torpedo boat sent by Liu Guanxiong, Feng Guozhang and the others just planned to go back to the north to rectify their home, and then transfer to a lease in Tianjin or Shanghai to live, leaving only Yang Shande and other Beiyang generals who had not yet lost their careers to stay in the distance to see if they could give them a good future.

(Historically, Yuan Shikai's eldest son, Yuan Keding, fell lame while riding a horse in 1913 and later came to Germany for treatment, but the book does not arrange that way.) By the way, although Yuan Keding has been advocating the imperial system in history, but in his later years, he had a difficult life, but even so, during the Anti-Japanese War, when the head of this intelligence department, Kenji Dohihara, still wanted to entrap Yuan Keding, asking him to join the puppet regime in North China, hoping to use his identity to exert some influence on the old Beiyang Department, Yuan Keding still categorically refused, and said that although he had financial resources, he could not do Han Annihilation because of this, and he was also a very virtuous person when Han Annihilation was everywhere at that time. ）

——————————

On the road leading to Ezhou, Wang Zhanyuan and Jin Yunpeng were moving forward surrounded by hundreds of soldiers. It's just that perhaps under the influence of Yuan Shikai's death, the entire team, including Wang Zhanyuan and others, looked very depressed.

"Brother Wang, do you think those guys from the National Social Army will agree to our request?"

Sitting on horseback, Jin Yunpeng asked Wang Zhanyuan, who was also riding on horseback.

However, hearing Jin Yunpeng say this, Wang Zhanyuan just shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"How will they choose, how can I possibly know..."

In the Beiyang Army, there are people like Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang who are disheartened, but there are also people like Wang Zhanyuan and Jin Yunpeng who are unwilling to launch a historical platform.

Therefore, when Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang and others went to Shanghai on the torpedo boat sent by Liu Guanxiong, Wang Zhanyuan and Jin Yunpeng went to Ezhou on behalf of the Beiyang Army to negotiate with the National Social Army—————— or it should not be said that it was the Beiyang Army, but the entire Beiyang group, because in addition to generals such as Wang Zhanyuan and Jin Yunpeng, Liu Guanxiong of the Navy and Xu Shichang who was far away in Yanjing also entrusted this matter to Jin Yunpeng and others.

Prosperous money and troubled soldiers, but both can actually be classified as one, that is, rights...

Wang Zhanyuan, Xu Shichang and others are actually not very demanding, the former only needs to lead troops, and the latter hopes to occupy a place in the newly established political axe. After all, after enjoying the benefits of rights, they are really unwilling to quit like this.

Of course, if Yan Guang doesn't agree to their conditions, although many people are ready to go to the loan for a while, there are also many people who are determined to resist to the end...

It's just that in the end, it's better not to choose this last path or not...

I don't know how long they walked, Wang Zhanyuan and the others finally caught a glimpse of a city in the distance, and of course, the National Social Army wearing pure black military uniforms outside the city.

"It's here..."

When Wang Zhanyuan and his entourage walked to the bottom of the city, Yin Changheng, the commander of the Fifth Division, had been waiting for a long time.

"But Senior Commander Wang and Senior Commander Jin? Yin has been waiting for a long time. ”

Seeing Yin Changheng standing there waiting, Wang Zhanyuan and Jin Yunpeng hurriedly turned over and dismounted.

Although the Beiyang Army and the Nationalist Army have been fighting for a year, and there are many casualties on both sides, Yin Changheng did not give Wang Zhanyuan and Jin Yunpeng any face. As for Wang Zhanyuan and Jin Yunpeng? They all came to ask for peace, and it was impossible to give Yin Changheng any face, so the two sides talked very happily.

"By the way, Brother Shuoquan, I don't know where Commander Wang is now?"

After greeting each other for a while, Wang Zhanyuan asked his own question.

"Please rest assured, after receiving the telegram from you, you have already left for Ezhou, I believe it will not take long to arrive in Ezhou..."

Hearing Yin Changheng say this, Wang Zhanyuan and Jin Yunpeng nodded to each other.

"That's fine..."

In fact, Wang Zhanyuan and Jin Yunpeng were also a little anxious in their hearts, after all, as soon as Yuan Shikai died, let alone Yanjing, the entire north was in chaos. And the north is in chaos, and the supplies of their more than 40,000 Beiyang troops are also...

You must know that Duan Qirui finally led them out of the siege at the beginning, not to mention heavy weapons, and he didn't bring out much food and ammunition, plus he had to ask for the pursuit of the National Social Army all the way, so he didn't even have the opportunity to collect food on the spot. If we don't solve the problem of food, I am afraid that it will not be long before the brothers below will go hungry.

As for why Yuan Shikai directly informed the National Social Army of his death after his death? As soon as Yuan Shikai died, anyone with a discerning eye knew that Beiyang would definitely not succeed. At this time, even if they don't inform the National Social Army, I'm afraid that the people over there in Yanjing will rush to inform them, since this is the case, it is better to be told by Duan Qirui and them personally, so as to increase the favorability and make more plans for the future...

The two countries are at war without killing each other, Yin Changheng still knows this sentence, so after bringing Wang Zhanyuan and them into Ezhou, Yin Changheng not only arranged a place for them to live, but also set up a few tables of banquets.

Although Wang Zhanyuan and Jin Yunpeng are generals in charge of 10,000 people, this escape is no different from what the soldiers below eat. Therefore, the wine and food that they were usually tired of eating are now unusually attractive to them. Fortunately, Wang Zhanyuan and Jin Yunpeng are both teachers after all, so they didn't make any ugliness at the wine table.

After resting in Ezhou for more than half a day, Wang Yaowu rushed to Ezhou surrounded by a group of cavalry.

In the unease of the Beiyang surrender army, Wang Yaowu did not let Li Chun and other cavalry escort when he set off, but spent some more time to let Hankou send 3,000 cavalry over—————— since the people of Beiyang asked for peace, Wang Yaowu did not need to worry about wasting time.

And because of the Beiyang peace, Wang Yaowu did not need to use the troops of Li Chun and other troops to intercept the Beiyang Army, so it was much easier to make a decision.

When he learned that Wang Yaowu had arrived outside the city, Yin Changheng asked Wang Zhanyuan to rest in the restaurant first, and then asked himself to bring Wang Yaowu and others. However, at this time, Wang Zhanyuan and others did not dare to hold it up, so after learning that Wang Yaowu had arrived in Ezhou, they rushed to meet Wang Yaowu outside Ezhou with Yin Changheng.

"Commander Wang..."

Seeing Yin Changheng, Wang Zhanyuan and others under the city gate, Wang Yaowu also hurriedly turned over and dismounted.

"But Senior Commander Wang and Senior Commander Jin."

"Exactly down there."

After learning the identities of the two, Wang Yaowu and Yin Changheng did not give the two of them a face, and their expressions were very respectful.

"Come, let's go inside and talk first."

What to talk about? Of course, it's a matter of peace.

Seeing that Wang Yaowu did not show a lot of peace on his face because of himself and others, Wang Zhanyuan and Jin Yunpeng also relaxed a lot. After seeing that Wang Yaowu and Yin Changheng were so face-giving, he hurriedly said gratefully.

"Commander Wang, please..."

Wang Yaowu was not polite, and walked directly into Ezhou City with two people.

After entering the headquarters of the National Social Army in Ezhou City, and inviting Wang Zhanyuan, Jin Yunpeng and others to sit down separately, Wang Yaowu went straight to the point.

"I heard that the two of you want to negotiate with our national social army on behalf of Beiyang, and I have already reported this matter to the governor of Yandu. Yan Dudu was also quite pleasantly surprised when he learned about this, and authorized the next two to negotiate, the next two are rough people, and they were just hunters in the mountains in the past, so if the two of them have any conditions, please say it directly..."
