Xu Shichang immediately reported the situation of the imperial court to Yuan Shikai, and the old Yuan did not expect that the business community in Yucheng would take the initiative to cut off the supply of the end side, originally since the outbreak of the Sichuan Baolu Movement, the old Yuan knew that his opportunity to go out of the mountain had arrived, and the Manchu nobles could only play with intrigue and tricks, and the war was a bunch of wine bags and rice bags, and the most critical Beiyang New Army was in Yuan Shikai's cuffs, without the support of Lao Yuan, the Manchu Qing Dynasty could not even move the army.

However, Lao Yuan only regarded the Kuomintang as a rabble, and the uprisings have failed frequently in the past few years, which made Lao Yuan look down on these people even more.

But now Yucheng's actions have made Lao Yuan feel pressure, Lao Yuan's intelligence is much stronger than that of the Qing court, Yuan Shikai clearly knows that Yucheng is now in fact readable, but there is no clear anti-flag, with Lao Yuan's status to see things naturally will not be so simple, Yucheng Chamber of Commerce represents the local constitutionalist forces, originally this force is scattered in the provinces, and there is no military strength, can only rely on other forces, it is difficult to stand on its own, but this situation has occurred in Yucheng, is it the constitutionalist party about to emerge?

Lao Yuan can look down on the revolutionary party, but he definitely does not dare to underestimate the Constitutional Party, Lao Yuan's Beiyang Group can have today's power It is far from enough to rely on the army of the six towns, in fact, there are many bureaucrats and gentry attached to it, so that Lao Yuan has enough confidence, if the constitutional party in the world can be integrated together, it is definitely a force that Lao Yuan cannot contend with.

"Gong Bao, are you worried that Yucheng's move will breed the ambitions of the Constitutional Party in the world?"

"Xingcheng, what the Constitutional Party lacks is just a leader, it is said that Qiao Yu is not very old, but he is really ruthless, it seems that cutting off the supply of the end side is very easy to annoy the Qing court, but in fact, the Qing court has no ability to deal with him at all, but can win the hearts of the people in Sichuan, the court can only appease now, but not exterminate, if the time comes, this person will become a confidant!"

"Xiang Cheng, Qiao Yu is only a young man in his early twenties after all, he may have some military strategy, but he will not see the situation in the world so clearly, in my opinion, it must be the idea of the Yucheng Constitutional Party, I will go to Sichuan to have a look, find out the local situation, by the way, visit Qiao Yu, understand his thoughts, and then report the actual situation in Sichuan to Xiang Cheng!" It was Yang Du, another important strategist of Yuan Shikai, who spoke, who was also a strange man in the Republic of China, and the drummer of Junxian in the future.

Yuan Shikai nodded slightly, Yang Du was right, no matter how much he guessed here, he might not be accurate, Sichuan is the initiation of the Baolu Movement, if he can understand the situation in Sichuan, it will be of great help to his next move, so he nodded and said: "Huizi, then work hard for you, it is best to find out the situation in Sichuan, there is some chaos over there, I will send you four bodyguards, be careful!" ”

This is Yuan Shikai's cleverness, at this time, he didn't say what to do, but he cared about Yang Du's safety, how could he not make Yang Du grateful! Just a few words made Yang Du's heart warm.

"Thank you Xiang Cheng for your concern, I will definitely pull the Qiao family over and support Xiang Cheng!"

Yang Du made a military order, first along the Jinghan Railway to Wuhan, ready to transfer to Chongqing, just got off the train, Yang Du bought a newspaper casually, opened it with his hands, the most sold is to report on the Sichuan Road Protection Movement, report how much the People's Army has achieved, how many Qing troops have been annihilated, how many states and counties have been occupied, and there are also various comments, to name a few, but in the middle of the newspaper there is also a leaflet, destroy the Manchurian Xinghan, restore China. On the fifteenth day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, slaughter all the Tartars! There are sixteen words written on it.

Seeing this, Yang Du's heart suddenly moved, it seems that the situation in the three towns of Wuhan is more serious than he imagined, since Duanfang brought the army into Sichuan, the important town of Wuhan seems to be a lot empty, all kinds of revolutionary groups posted slogans everywhere, distributed leaflets, although the Qing court frequently suppressed, but it is difficult to put an end.

And now that the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, it seems that the three towns of Wuhan are peaceful, but Yang Du and the revolutionary party alliance will deal with too much, especially Huang Xing can get acquainted with Sun Wen or Yang Du introduced, so Yang Du is very familiar with the style of the revolutionary party, the calmer it is, the greater the danger contained in it, and as the scale of the Sichuan uprising grows larger and the momentum becomes more and more fierce, Hubei, which is already extremely unstable, will not be indifferent.

At this time, the two lakes are the best area of China's industrial base, which is thanks to the credit of Zhang Zhidong, Hubei has developed education, gathered a group of new-style literati, and the largest industrial area, the worker team is also relatively strong, the more you understand the importance of Wuhan, the more you feel that it is very likely to break out here.

However, Yang Du has long had no feelings for the Qing Dynasty, and is looking forward to the chaos in the world, so as to assist the new master to pacify China in one fell swoop, just like the Meiji ministers of this book, the German Prime Minister Bismarck, who is famous in history, stayed in Wuhan for two days, and Yang Du went directly to Sichuan by boat.

At this time, Qiao Yu is making the final sprint, trying his best to expand his power, the machine repair plant promised by Germany has been built, and at the same time, Germany has also shipped two bullet production lines, established a weapon maintenance plant, and sent a large number of German engineers and technicians to assist Qiao Yu, today is the groundbreaking ceremony, Qiao Yu and Wei Si are present.

"Joe, the situation is changing so fast, you are now the master of the city, I am looking forward to your greater progress!"

"Thank you Consul General for your help, Germany's support is my greatest help!"

Wei Si suddenly smiled and said, "Joe, Germany can actually provide you with greater help, such as military!" ”

As soon as Qiao Yu heard Wei Si's words, he suddenly guessed Germany's plan with a flash of thought in his heart, if all the powers really don't have a good thing, the Germans are now going to offer themselves conditions, military help? It's nothing more than sending some advisory officers, but the army is Qiao Yu's lifeblood, and he will never allow others to get involved, especially when the foundation is not solid, the introduction of German officer corps now is very likely to affect his control of the army, and it will also send the wrong signal to other powers, making them mistakenly think that they have completely fallen to Germany, which will undoubtedly bring endless trouble.

"Mr. Consul General, aren't we now receiving military help from Germany? Are you going to sell me some new weapons? If you can help me build an arsenal, I can't help it! ”

Qiao Yu chose to pretend to be stupid, and Wei Si shrugged his shoulders slightly: "Qiao, there are still too many things involved in the arsenal, I'll talk about it later!" ”

"Reporter Lu, aren't you looking around for news materials? Why do you have time to run to me again, I read the newspaper in the recent period, your article is very popular, easy to understand, and full of feelings! I believe that if anyone knows that this is from the hand of a beautiful woman, it will definitely cause a sensation! ”

Lu Wanqing sat opposite Qiao Yu very casually and sighed: "I won't do this anymore!" I feel a little sorry for my conscience! ”

Qiao Yu was stunned for a while, this girl's idea is really strange, how can a good reporter have something to do with his conscience? "You don't have a fever, why does it sound like nonsense!"

"You're talking nonsense, I feel like reporters are trading other people's misfortunes for fame and profit, and I can't help those who are hurt, just like people like you who play with power, don't you say you can't help your conscience?"
