After a summer rain, the fields are full of mud, especially the fields, there is water accumulation, in the village more than ten miles away from Hangzhou is full of black smoke and miasma, the people don't know where to flee, no people dare to live in this place where the soldiers are rampant, the streets outside the village, and the roads in the barracks in the fields, are all tens of thousands of soldiers' leather boots into a puddle of mud, gruel flowing, early in the morning, with the sound of the Western-style military trumpet, This barracks in the muddy swamp was once again lively, and there were soldiers everywhere who were holding lunch boxes to receive food; unlike the soldiers of the past, these soldiers wearing Western-style military uniforms did not see confusion when receiving meals, but lined up, and the "Taiwan New Army" on the fluttering flags in the camp revealed their identities.

The sound of the bugle!

When the sound of the military horn came from the camp, it also spread to the big tent in the camp, compared with the ordinary camp tent, this big tent was at most covered with two layers of green bricks and a layer of straw and wooden boards, although so, but the big tent was still extremely humid, if it was in the training army, the defense army and its officers would not live in the camp tent, but in the new army in Taiwan, not only the new army commander Duan Qirui lived in the tent, and even together with Yuan Shikai did not live in the house in the village, and even those "vacated" were completely cheap wounded soldiers, All the officers and servants lived in this camp and shared the weal and sorrow with the soldiers, which was the difference between the new army.

In fact, this is not the originality of Taiwan's new army, and unlike the domestic defense army at this time, the training of the army is all about the Huai army, since Yuan Shikai founded the Taiwan New Army Association, he took advantage of the convenience of his old friends in the Korean unified supervision office, and the new army stationed in the DPRK with similar structures and regulations is even compared with the new army stationed in the DPRK in the name of the town and the association. Internally, the names of divisions and regiments are different. On the contrary, it is more in line with the "new military system." This camping system is naturally also Xi Jinping's new army stationed in North Korea. However, this kind of behavior of the officers and men sharing weal and woe together has also made the whole Taiwan New Army unified, especially their governor who lives in the same camp with him, and the officers and men of the new army have always been extremely moved, and they are even willing to die on the battlefield for them, and this can be regarded as an unexpected gain.

When the military horn sounded, when Yuan Shikai opened his eyes on the cold marching bed, the first emotion he felt was refreshed. Why this is so, the reason is also simple - Hangzhou City is close at hand, if it were not for the instructions of Lord Zhongtang, I am afraid that he would have already taken Hangzhou City with his army, and the governor Yamen in the city would have been appointed as the governor of Zhejiang Province.

Although Yuan Shikai has really been promoted to the post of governor of Taiwan after being transferred from North Korea to Taiwan two years ago, after all, Taiwan is a "foreign land" that hangs alone overseas, and that official is just one more name of "national dynasty" than the prime minister of the DPRK. However, Zhejiang Province is different, it is not only a place of wealth, but also a prosperous belt of the country. There is heaven above, and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. And since then, he has been able to preside over this land of fish and rice in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and Yuan Shikai will not feel happy.

Of course, more importantly, after this war, no one in the world knows the tax of the new army, there is the Korean new army in the north, and there is the Taiwan new army controlled by Yuan Shikai in the south, although the strength of the Taiwan new army is not more than 10,000 people, although the name of a town is actually not satisfied, and after going to Zhejiang, the new army in this town also needs to be returned to Fujian and Zhejiang, but now in the Qing Dynasty, in addition to him Yuan Shikai, who can train the new army? Even Lord Zhongtang has repeatedly revealed in telegrams that he wants to entrust him with the intention of "training the new army and guarding the gateway of the Daqing River Estuary".

"In the final analysis, the official still wants to thank Tang Ziran!"

Although he was jealous of Tang Ziran's position as the "Governor of the Northeast" in his heart, Yuan Shikai was still quite grateful to him.

"If you don't have it, how can you be an official today!"

Sighing from the bottom of his heart, when Yuan Shikai looked at the Hangzhou city wall several kilometers away with a telescope through the faint morning light, the smug look on his face became even stronger, and his breathing became short. According to the private agreement between Lord Zhongtang and his Tang Ziran, give him three days to withdraw from Hangzhou's "rebellion", and today is the third day, after today, this Hangzhou's "rebellion" is cut or killed, but it is all up to him Yuan Shikai, of course, more importantly, after today, he is the governor of Zhejiang who really deserves his name.

Looking over there, I saw that all the new officers and soldiers were covered with dirt and dirt, all covered in stinking sweat and mud, all right, the brothers will work hard for one more day, and suffer one more day, and the big guys will be comfortable and comfortable tonight!

At that moment, a report suddenly sounded in his ears.

"My lord, the scouts just found that after a team of about 1,000 people left Hangzhou, they took a boat to the sea, but went upriver along the river, and the suspicion of rebellion was among them......

Strive against the stream! Do you want to enter the mountainous area of northern Zhejiang?

"Quick, immediately send someone to tell Duan Tong about this matter, and ask him to immediately send heavy troops to clear ......"

"My lord, never!"

Before Yuan Shikai's words were finished, a voice interrupted his decision, it was his staff invited from the capital and his old friend Xu Shichang,

"Oh, why is that?"

Yuan Shikai looks humbly taught, although he is young, he is rarely arbitrary, and when he encounters things, he is extremely respectful of the advice of his staff, which is naturally the same at this time, and even at the beginning he picked out his own ideas.

"This rebel army is in chaos in Zhejiang, it is the time to take the opportunity to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, so as not to affect his future plans, why does Bu Wu think that he can't send troops to suppress?"

If these more than 1,000 rebel bandits fled to the mountains and became bandits, then there would really be endless troubles.

"My lord, this Hangzhou rebel bandit has a very deep relationship with Wuchang (1), if the adult decisively sends troops to annihilate his division, although there is Zhongtang and Wuchang in the first appointment, but Hunan is his best friend after all, if he is really in the chaos of the army, if he dies in it! At that time, although Wuchang will not be investigated, if there is a break or the relationship between him and Zhongtang is tense and he loses trust in each other, it will always be disadvantageous to the adults! ”

Xu Shichang reminded him like this, Yuan Shikai only felt a chill in his back, isn't this his scruple about sending troops to Hangzhou, if Tan Sitong has no contact with Tang Haoran, his first thing is not to believe it, he doesn't believe that Tan Si is the same scholar who can set off such a big storm?

If this man really died in the rebellion. Then he really made a feud with him Tang Haoran. But to provoke is to do its erosion of the place. That will ...... in the future!

"Bu Wu, if the tiger returns to the mountain, it will be a place of erosion in the future, but I am afraid that there will be no peace in Zhejiang?"

If he is not the governor of Zhejiang, he doesn't care if he will be a corrupt place in the future, but the problem is here, in the future, this Zhejiang will be my Yuan Shikai's world, how can I allow it to be a corrupt place! Moreover, it cannot be completely annihilated in Hangzhou today. There are troubles left, maybe he will cut off his official road in the future. In a dilemma, Yuan Shikai had no choice but to turn his attention to Xu Shichang for help.

"My lord, if it is allowed to rot the place, it will make me have no peace in Zhejiang!"

After a pause, Xu Shichang looked at Yuan Shikai and said in a low voice.

"Since the rebels can be a big trouble, they can erode the place, and they can be a big thing, so why can't they be forced to go out of Zhejiang!"

When this suggestion was made, Xu Shichang's eyes flashed. Although his words are not finished, anyone can hear the meaning of his words. This meaning couldn't be clearer, but it is just a disaster that leads him to another place, and no matter how he Tan Sitong erodes the place, it will naturally have nothing to do with him Yuan Shikai.

"Bu Wu, what do you mean ......"

Shen Shen Yuan Shikai glanced into the distance, and then turned his gaze to Xu Shichang again.

"Do you know who is in trouble in Zhongtang's heart today?"

Trouble in the middle hall?

Is it Wuchang?

This thought is just a fleeting moment, in Yuan Shikai's view, in Zhongtang's view, although Tang Haoran has this strength, but in terms of prestige, this Tang Haoran is at most just his trouble, and in Zhongtang's real henchmanship, I am afraid that the first is Zhang Zhidong of Wuchang, and the second is Liu Kunyi of Jiangning, as for him Tang Haoran can only rank third at most.

Although he did not agree with Zhongtang's opinion of Tang Haoran, Yuan Shikai also understood that it was this prestige that was different between himself and Tang Haoran......

"You mean to introduce it to Hunan?"

If Tan Sitong and his more than 1,000 rebellions can be introduced into Hunan, not only can they contain the power of Nanpi, but also can make Nanpi unable to compete in the middle hall, and then Liu Kunyi is a veteran of the Hunan army, this Hunan hometown is in chaos, how can he, a veteran of the Hunan army, sit idly by, then the power of Huguang and Liangjiang will be controlled by it, even if it can suppress the Tan family, won't his previous worries fall on Zhang Zhidong!

Thinking about Xu Shichang's strategy repeatedly in his heart, Yuan Shikai immediately realized that this strategy can be described as beneficial to himself and Zhongtang, which is "one peach kills three soldiers", but Xu Shichang's plan is "one plan for three people", this Xu Buwu, thinking in his heart, Yuan Shikai's eyes also changed slightly when he looked at Xu Shichang, but the change was from the bottom of his heart.

"Although the strategy of Bu Wu is a good policy, it is ...... on the side of Lord Zhongtang"

What Yuan Shikai is worried about is the attitude of Lord Zhongtang, if Lord Zhongtang has no appreciation from Lord Zhongtang with his poisonous heart, how can he have Yuan Shikai's tomorrow?

"My lord, today's China is no longer yesterday's China, how can Zhongtang be yesterday's Zhongtang, with one person to determine one country, such a good policy, how can Zhongtang refuse!"

When the seven words "one person determines one country" came into his ears, Yuan Shikai only felt a shock all over his body, and his eyes suddenly became complicated when he stared at Xu Shichang, yes, today is not yesterday, how can he use yesterday's eyes to see Zhongtang! I was really dazzled by the Limeng in front of me, and I didn't see far away than Xu Buwu, but it was really ......

Secretly reprimanded, Yuan Shikai, who was humbly taught, first thanked Xu Shichang, and then commanded.

"Bu Wu, you see that you will send someone to contact him now, if he agrees to go out of Zhejiang, and then give him some ammunition and silver, I don't know what Bu Wu thinks?"

"What your lord said is very true! In this way, he Hunan will not refuse! ”

In addition to agreeing, Xu Shichang praised again.

"If Wuchang learns, he will accept the love of adults if he wants to come! It's a no-brainer! ”
