Chapter 35 Pear Bodhisattva, Mud Bodhisattva

Beijing Zhongnanhai, Juren Hall.

"Yunshang, Yuyan, Xiaofeng...... What do you guys think? ”

Li Yuanhong leaned on a wide Taishi chair, with a gloomy face, and looked at the newspaper in his hand. The few cups of tea on the table have already cooled down.

Three of Li Yuanhong's "Four King Kongs", Ha Hanzhang (Yunshang), Jiang Zuobin (Yuyan), and Jin Yongyan (Xiaofeng), were all around Li Yuanhong at this time, with anxious expressions on their faces, but no one spoke. There was silence in the study, and it was Jiang Zuobin who broke the silence after a while: "President, it's already 100,000 urgent!" This afternoon, the War Department has issued an order to the 13th Division to transfer the model regiment to Fengtai County, and there is also a batch of bullets transferred from the warehouse of the War Department, and the whereabouts are unknown! The subordinates speculated that they were sent to the model group! They are really going to do it, and now they can only ask Zhang Shaoxuan to come out and say a fair word. ”

Li Yuanhong's big eyelids raised, and his gaze suddenly shot like lightning to this cronie who served as the deputy minister of the War Department, Jiang Zuobin seemed to understand his thoughts, and nodded heavily: "President, his subordinates also know that Zhang Shaoxuan is unreliable, but in today's China, only Zhang Shaoxuan, the leader of the provincial federation, can compete with Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang!" ”

Li Yuanhong said coldly: "Aren't you afraid that he will restore the Manchu Qing when he arrives in Beijing City?" I, the president, was the first to raise the banner of rebellion in Wuchang! ”

Li Yuanhong's attendant military attache Chief Ha Hanzhang frowned, and seemed to be thinking hard: "President, if the Beiyang system has faintly appeared Duan Zhiquan, Feng Huafu, and Zhang Shaoxuan's triumvirate, even if Zhang Shaoxuan enters Beijing City, he will be restrained by the other two aspects. If he dares to act rashly and restore the Manchu Qing, the balance will be upset, and the other two sides will definitely unite against his ......"

Li Yuanhong just sighed: "That's the way it is, but who knows what kind of road this pigtail is here?" ”

He turned his attention to Jin Yongyan, a senior adviser to the presidential palace who had served as the principal of the Nanjing Provisional Government Military Academy and the Wuchang Army No. 2 Preparatory School after the Xinhai Revolution. Li Yuanhong had ordered him to conspire with the officers of the Chang Rui Youth Model Regiment before, but this master was very domineering and unpopular in the military academy, so after contacting him for a long time, others were just perfunctory to him. However, at this time, he met Li Yuanhong's gaze and said loudly: "President, the model group is full of subordinate students, and subordinates are still sure of them. Although they have now taken refuge in Xu Shuzheng, as long as Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng fall, their subordinates will be able to draw them to the president's side. Li Shaoping's telegram said that Zhang Shaoxuan would bring 15 battalion leaders into Beijing at most, and if we can bring this model regiment over, the safety of the presidential palace will be guaranteed, and his subordinates will not believe that Zhang Shaoxuan really dares to fight with us in Beijing. Then the international community will not agree! ”

Hearing the word "international", Li Yuanhong's face looked much better, for China's "government and court dispute", the powers were divided into three camps, Yingfa was the hospital that supported Duan Qirui; The U.S. supports the presidential palace of Le Yuanhong; Japan and Tsarist Russia were face-neutral, but they were actually inclined to Li Yuanhong. As for Zhang Xun's plan to restore the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it is estimated that there is no support from the great powers. As long as he can use Zhang Xun's power to drive away Duan Qirui, and then entrap Chang Ruiqing's group of soldiers, his own president will probably be able to barely do it.

"Xiaofeng (Jin Yongyan), are you sure about the model group? I know that Chang Ruiqing, the leader of the model regiment, is Xu Shuzheng's henchman! Although Jiang Zuobin, vice minister of the War Department, did not have any real power, his ears and eyes were still well-informed, he looked at Jin Yongyan hesitantly and said: "We don't have much benefit to give to this Chang Ruiqing, is he really willing to go with the president?" ”

Jin Yongyan smiled: "It is precisely because he is Xu Shuzheng's henchman that I am sure to bring him over." Because he is a newcomer in Beiyang, he has no dealings with other Beiyang bigwigs except Xu Shuzheng, once Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng fall, he will be no one in the court! In addition to the president, who else can he go to? Zhang Xun? He doesn't have braids either! ”

Li Yuanhong nodded, seemingly agreeing with Jin Yongyan's analysis. If Chang Ruiqing is the commander of the division or the commander of the mixed brigade in Beiyang, then no one can help him, but he is only a small regiment commander, and the strength in his hands is limited after all. And with the authority of the president, he can still do it by keeping a regiment commander, and he can even go further and make him the commander of the presidential palace guard brigade. Of course, the premise is that this Chang Rui Qing is loyal enough......

"Xiaofeng, you go and get in touch with this Chang Ruiqing again, I will write a handwritten letter, and you bring it to him. Remember, be sure to keep it a secret! Li Yuanhong took a deep breath and glanced at everyone in the room with a deep gaze, "Things have come to this point, and I, the president, can't back down anymore!" Go and send a telegram to Li Shaoping, and ask him to tell Zhang Shaoxuan that as long as he sends a telegram in the name of the Governor to oppose the declaration of war against Germany, then I will order Duan Qirui to be removed from the official title of Prime Minister and Minister of the Army, and at the same time invite him to lead troops into Beijing to mediate the dispute between the government and the court! ”

……

Outside Zhengyangmen, Beijing, No. 24 Meat Market, Quanjude old store. This time-honored restaurant famous for roast duck is also a good place to go in today's Beijing City, the building is three stories high, magnificent, on the gold lacquer signboard, the three big characters of "Quanjude" written by Qian Zilong in the late Qing Dynasty are also dragon flying phoenix dance, and the decent people in and out of Beijing are also in and out.

The third floor is a private seat, outside the first private room at the east end, there are two horses with box cannons, full of fierceness, at a glance you know that the guests in the room are the military leaders of Beiyang.

The table was full of delicacies, and in the middle was a shiny roast duck. Chang Ruiqing and Wu Shi, the deputy head of the Model Regiment, hosted a banquet here for Lu Yixuan, the newly appointed staff officer of the Model Regiment, this Lu Yixuan is a native of Jiyang, Shandong, a standard Shandong man, his height is comparable to Chang Ruiqing, his face is always gloomy, and his speech is a little cold, but he can talk to Chang Ruiqing and Wu Shi.

"Compared with the armies of the European powers, our Beiyang Army is probably not even a militia, if it really goes to the European battlefield, it will definitely be a cannon fodder!" Lu Yixuan, Chang Ruiqing, and Wu Shi chatted for a few words, and then began to talk about the European war. He graduated from the Berlin Military Academy in Germany, and after graduation, he also interned in the Imperial German Army, where he fought trench warfare for several days, and had a profound impact on the overwhelming firepower.

Chang Ruiqing also nodded with a solemn face: "The European powers are all industrialized powers, our country is indeed too weak compared to them, fortunately, this war is fought in Europe, if those powers use the firepower of the European war to invade our China, I am afraid that the country will really be destroyed!" ”

Lu Yixuan nodded slightly, as if he agreed very much, his eyes glanced at Chang Ruiqing, and said with a light smile: "Brother Yaoru, since you know how fierce the European war is, why do you still advocate participating in the war to save the country?" Now that there is such a big turmoil, most of them are participating in the war for this, right? ”

Chang Ruiqing had a solemn face and said: "Ruiqing advocates participating in the war to save the country, it is really out of public intentions, and Ruiqing and his classmates have already signed the petition and made up their minds to be shrouded in horse leather!" ”

Lu Yixuan took a sip of wine, a meaningful smile appeared on his face, and said: "Tell me about Brother Yaoru, my brother is not Xu Youzheng's person, Lu Zijia, the commander of the 10th Division, is my cousin, and I went to Germany to study in the same way as Lu Zijia, and I will always go back to serve in the future." Staying in Beijing now is also what my cousin meant. ”

Chang Ruiqing had a flexible brain, and after listening to the other party's words, he understood the deep meaning. This Lu Yixuan is suing himself that he is not here to seize power in the model group! The real purpose of his coming to the Model League was to participate in this coup d'état on behalf of Lu Yongxiang, which was Lu Yongxiang's intention to show Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang. However, this has nothing to do with Chang Ruiqing, but what really interests him is Lu Yixuan and his cousin Lu Yongxiang.
