Chapter Seventy-Four

Shanghai, International Liaison Office of the United Autonomous Region.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, after Nanjing unilaterally recognized the legitimacy of Yuan Shikai's inauguration as president in Beijing, it announced that it would welcome Yuan Tuan south to return to Nanjing. Half an hour later, the courtyard outside the liaison office was filled with waiting reporters.

The gate was closed, and there were two security guards standing at the door. Anyone who tried to enter would be stopped, intruders would be stopped, and a few reporters would even be thrown out with guns on their heads.

Wang Zhengting was probably the most anxious, and he had been waiting outside the telecommunications office. Walk to the window and glance at the reporters waiting in the courtyard. Since the beginning of the new year, China's political scene has changed rapidly. On this big stage, all kinds of characters are staged in turn, the tone is higher than the other, and the image is taller than the one pointed out by everyone in Chapter 74.

From the disgust with Fang Dashuai at the beginning, to Wang Zhengting, who is now gradually impressed by Fang Dashuai, he can see it very clearly on this stage. It is precisely because he sees clearly that Wang Zhengting is in a hurry. The impression of Fang Dashuai will always insist on what he thinks is right.

Nanjing, the presidential palace of the provisional government. Huang Xing, who hurriedly returned from Xuzhou, walked like the wind, no one dared to stop him, and pushed open the door of the conference room. Behind Huang Xing were several generals of the Northern Expeditionary Army in Xuzhou. Leng Shu, Gu Zhongchen, Sun Yue, Lin Shuqing, Li Liejun.

"Keqiang!" Sun Yat-sen immediately stood up, and there were many people in the conference room, who also stood up.

"Yat-sen, why? This is betrayal! It's betrayal! Huang Xing almost roared.

"Keqiang, calm down and come to my office." Sun couldn't say anything, and dragged Huang Xing into the office. Locking the others out of the door, Li Liejun, who had been following Huang Xing, held the war knife in one hand. He looked at the people in the conference room with a sneer.

"Can you explain to us comrades who are fighting in Xuzhou. What the hell is going on? ”

Li Liejun's voice was not high, and most of the people in the conference room lowered their heads. Finance Minister Chen Jintao stood up and pushed his glasses. Whispered: Chapter 74 "Chivalry, don't get excited." This matter has also been controversial in Nanjing for a long time. ”

Don't wait for Li Liejun to speak. Leng Shu stepped forward and said coldly: "What's the dispute? Who is Yuan Shikai, don't you know? The Beiyang Army was stained with the blood of revolutionary comrades, and it was not easy to reach an understanding with Fang Fuguo and gain his support, so we organized the Northern Expeditionary Army. was able to gain the upper hand at the negotiating table, forced Yuan Shikai to admonish the Qing Dynasty, and forced Yuan Shikai to agree to the cabinet system. This makes the world people. What do you think of us? Yes! ”

"Yuqiu, watch your wording, calm down! This is not the place where you talk casually. Hu Hanmin stood up dissatisfied. scolded. Leng Shu looked at him expressionlessly. Silently, he raised his hand to take off the epaulettes and untied his sword and pistol. Thrown on the table and made a harsh noise: "Lao Tzu is gone!" ”

Leng Shu turned around and left, Chen Qimei got up and shouted: "Yuqiu, wait!" You stop! It's a pity that Leng Shu has no intention of turning back, and walks away firmly. Just when everyone was at a loss, Gu Zhongchen also took off the guy on his body, and threw it on the table very chicly: "Look up to the sky and laugh and go out, how can I be a Penghao person." ”

"Xia Ru, why don't you stop them?" Hu Hanmin was anxious, and shouted at Li Liejun, who was always sneering on the side. Li Liejun looked at him silently and did not speak.

Hey, hey, hey! Hey! After a few sneers, Lin Shuqing, who had been watching from the side, also took off all the bits and pieces on his body, silently put them on the table, and turned around to leave. Seeing this, Sun Yue silently lowered his head and twisted to the side.

There was silence in the room, so everyone waited patiently. With a bang, the door opened, and the angry Huang Xing walked out with a stern face, stopped for a moment, and strode out. Sun Yue chased after him, but Li Liejun hesitated and did not follow.

Sun came out with a calm face, and looked at the different expressions of everyone in the conference room, when someone sent a telegram. Sun Dao: "Read." ”

"Welcome Yuan Tuan, return to Nanjing in a few days."

Subconsciously, Sun raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Wuhu, coughed and said, "Let's continue the meeting." ”

Not long after Leng Shu came out alone, someone called him from behind, and when he looked back, he saw that it was Gu Zhongchen.

"Why did Brother Gu come out too?" Leng Shu was a little surprised, and then reacted and didn't ask again, Gu Zhongchen sighed: "Someone is killing himself, I don't want to follow the funeral." Is Yuqiu satisfied with this explanation? Leng Shu snorted and continued to move forward, Gu Zhongchen caught up, raised his hand and said: "My Jiangsu First Division is now gone, what am I staying for?" ”

"Wait, two!" Lin Shuqing also caught up, and when he saw the two of them, he smiled bitterly and said, "I'll invite the two of you to drink at noon, let's go!" I know that there is a restaurant that does a good job of Huaiyang cuisine. ”

"I'm going to go, I'm not going." Leng Shu didn't mean to pay attention to the two of them, and strode forward.

The remaining two looked at each other, each smiling bitterly, and Lin Shuqing sighed: "I don't understand, why did he take the first step." It is said that the military power in the hands of the two of us has been taken away, and it is we who should go. ”

Gu Zhongchen took off his hat, touched his head, took it back, and silently walked a few steps forward before saying, "Everyone has their own ambitions!" Brother Lin, do you have any plans? ”

"What can I do? Go back to your hometown. It's Brother Gu, it is said that he has an old relationship with Fang Fuguo in Wuhu, so he might as well go to him. ”

"Let's look at it again, Fang Fuguo was bitter this time. However, the 100,000 male teachers under him are really not vegetarians. It is not yet known who killed the deer, and I am a timid person, so I will not join in the fun. ”

While the two were talking, there was a sudden commotion of chickens and dogs jumping on the street, and shouts erupted. Hurriedly stood on the side of the road and beckoned the guards to disperse. A young torrent rolled in front of him, and the sound of slogans pierced through the sky.

"Protest against Yuan Shikai's sabotage of the resolution of the tripartite talks!" "Protest against the mutiny of the Beiyang Army and the cruelty of the people!" "Protest against the Provisional Government's compromise with Yuan Shikai!" "The anti-Japanese Beiyang government sabotaged and rescued overseas Chinese in Nanyang!" "Protest against the interference of the Ministers of the Four Nations in China's internal affairs!" This is the students of Nanjing's colleges and universities marching!

Soon after the Nanjing Provisional Government was electrified, more than 100 students came out of Nanjing University, holding banners and slogans, shouting as they went, and decided to go to the major schools and then to the Provisional Presidential Palace to protest. This seemingly simple, modest operation changed two hours later.

More and more students came from far and wide to join the march. By the time they reached the streets near the Provisional Government, the number had already reached thousands. Among them, many Nanjing citizens also joined in.

On a corner of the road beside the procession, there was a face that the Wehrmacht generals had always hated, a boy with sunglasses, a cigarette in his mouth, a satin shirt, and a gang thug on the docks.

Taking off his sunglasses, Zhao Yi's gloomy eyes swept the presidential palace, and then turned into a scorching heat, looking at Wuhu from afar.

Shuai, did you see that? Following your correct instructions, the students of Nanjing were mobilized, and the citizens were set on fire.

Lowering his head, Zhao Yi put on his sunglasses, and a young man dressed similarly came up next to him, and said in a low voice: "Take a seat, Shanghai has also moved." ”

Almost at the same time that the Nanjing students marched to protest against the collusion between Beiyang and the Nanjing government and the betrayal of the revolutionary achievements. In recent days, in various universities and middle schools in Shanghai, a piece of news has been circulating, and everyone knows about the trouble. That is, the ministers of the four countries openly and grossly interfered in China's internal affairs, and the Nanjing Provisional Government decided to give in to the pressure of the people. Give up the responsibility for the mutiny of Yuan Shikai and his subordinates in exchange for the position of the provisional government in the future government of the new Republic of China.

At first, no one may believe this news, and the students paid more attention to the idol in Wuhu, who stood up and spoke for the people in the north who were killed, and spoke for the overseas Chinese in Nanyang.

However, when the news of the Nanjing government's telegram came out, the students of Shanghai were ignited, and the young people were not lacking in enthusiasm, and when they were confused by a certain argument, a few more fanning the flames took the lead, and the students rushed into the streets, to the concessions, to the consulates of various countries.

The procession, of about 5,000 people, first went to the military junta, then turned to the concession and marched to the consulates of various countries.

They shouted slogans hoarsely, and they were not willing to let the country sink. They are going to shout! They are converging into a torrent, rushing towards the imaginary beautiful Republic of China!

Beijing, Yuan's Mansion! A drinking party was being held, and all kinds of people in Western costumes in the garden were walking and talking, holding wine glasses in their hands and smiling hypocritically, in groups of three or five.

"Everyone, cheers for Xiang Chenggong to ascend to the presidency!" The one who initiated the initiative is said to be Yang Du, a strange person who is very important to Yuan Shikai! Today's reception was prepared yesterday.

When the guests present raised their glasses, in Yuan Shikai's office, his old friend Zhu Erdian was also raising a glass: "Congratulations!" My old friend! The Nanjing Provisional Government finally compromised. ”

"Thanks to the help of friends from all over the world, without your support, Nanjing will not compromise. Now, there is only one Fang Jianxiong left! Yuan Shikai is a lot easier, but in his opinion, it is far from the time to relax.

Subconsciously, Yuan Shikai looked up to the south.

In the garden, the German Minister Hahausen, after exchanging glances with the American Minister Raines, raised their glasses to each other, and did not mean to talk to each other. On the other hand, the Russian and Japanese ministers at the far end were whispering intimately.

Each drained the wine in his cup, and the two ministers made a movement in unison, facing southeast, thoughtfully.

……………………

"Haven't you called yet?" Wang Zhengting from Shanghai asked again, and the answer was disappointing. Wang Zhengting raised his hand again, looked in the direction of Wuhu, and paused: "Dashuai, you say something!" ”!!!
