"So what are we going to do? Uncle, why don't we bring more troops to Beijing? Zhang Biting looked at his uncle. In fact, he did not approve of the restoration, but Zhang Xun insisted on going his own way and did not listen to him, so he had to continue to help his uncle with advice.

"The troops should bring more, or 15 battalion heads." Zhang Xun smiled faintly and bitterly: "I can only bring these, no matter how much I am, it doesn't look like I'm going to mediate." Our strength is also limited, I am afraid it is impossible to fight all the way to Beijing, and we must also prevent Xiao Xu from harming the emperor, this person has black hands, why can't he do it! ”

"Marshal, I'm afraid 15 battalion heads are still not enough, right?" Zhang Wensheng was a little apprehensive, although he had secretly had dealings with Xu Shuzheng, but now it was not yet the time for the seller to seek glory, he folded his fingers and calculated for Zhang Xun: "There are Li Jincai's 13th Division, Chen Guangyuan's 12th Division, and Li Changtai's 8th Division around Beijing, if you count Chang Ruiqing's model regiment, there are nearly forty battalions in total!" In case they do fight with us, it will be a three-to-one advantage. ”

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Zhang Xun shook his hand: "Except for this Chang Ruiqing, who doesn't know the depth, the other people won't really fight with us, and they will fight with their own strength!" Why did they work for Duan Qirui? What they want is nothing more than tops, silver and beautiful girls, as long as we restore the Qing Dynasty, we will have the right to reward them with official rewards, and then find foreign devils to borrow a big loan for the aftermath, everything will be settled, at most, the Kuomintang and Sun Cannon in the south will make trouble for a while. ”

"Uncle, but if Chang Ruiqing refuses to accept it, he still wants our own soldiers to fight." Zhang Biting frowned and reminded.

Zhang Xun was silent for a moment, and slowly shook his head: "They are all Beiyang factions, and it is better not to use force or not to use force." This Chang Ruiqing, I think he always likes silver, likes tops, and likes beautiful girls, right? ”

"If you like Mei Jiao Niang, it may not be, the last time he came to Xuzhou, even the Yan'er girl in Huaixiang Pavilion ......," Zhang Wensheng muttered.

"Isn't lustful? Hehe, you have big ambitions, right? Zhang Xun smiled, but his eyes deepened, and he said coldly: "Then there are still officials!" And the money! Since he is mixed with us in Beiyang, it is not the same way as the Kuomintang, I don't believe that he doesn't want officials and doesn't like money! ”

He patted the table, stood up, and said to Zhang Biting beside him: "This time I went to Beijing, I have to bring more silver!" Through the British HSBC remittance, all aspects have to be pawned! Also, the dozens of Qingjuan'er prepared by the Huaixiang Pavilion last time were also brought, and they must not be missed when they should be delivered. Finally, it's official...... Li Jincai, Chen Guangyuan, and Li Changtai are all easy to say, but that Chang Ruiqing is afraid that he will be greatly rewarded. He looked back at Zhang Wensheng: "Wenzheng, you said you should give a few tops?" ”

"Top?" Zhang Wensheng pondered for a while: "I'm afraid that the handsome light will not be able to give the top, Chang Ruiqing is from the Baoding Military Academy, their group of people is not the same number as us, and they have no concept of the imperial court and the top flower feather or something." We want to buy him, I'm afraid that we will have to give him a mixed brigade commander, and we will have to add a town guard to the real shortage of it. ”

"And the land?" Zhang Xun frowned and was silent for a long time, and finally said coldly: "Give!" Give him a mixed brigade, and then give a town guard to the real shortage, and go to Sichuan, which is the most chaotic territory in the country, he Chang Ruiqing has the ability to level Sichuan, and I will ask the emperor to make him the governor of Sichuan! ”

He pointed at Zhang Wensheng, and his tone was cold: "Show me his parents!" Also, ask his younger brother Chang Ruiyuan to go to Beijing with me! ”

……

Just when Zhang Xun was preparing for his restoration plan, all kinds of undercurrents were also surging in Beijing, among which Chang Ruiqing was related to the line of Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng. I don't know if it's the inertia of history or Chang Ruiqing's suggestion, in short, the conspiracy between Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang has been going on for some time, and the content of their conspiracy is similar to the rumors from the outside world - they want to use a military coup to overthrow Li Yuanhong, the empty president, and dissolve the Kuomintang-controlled Congress!

And Chang Ruiqing, who was picked up by Xu Shuzheng and regarded as the backbone of his confidant, seems to be the first person to charge for this military coup! He is a newcomer to Beiyang, except for Xu Shuzheng and Duan Qirui, he has almost no intersection with all aspects, and he has a firm control of the strength of a regiment in his hands, although he is a recruit, but he is well trained, and there is no problem in pulling it out to scare people and disarming the presidential palace guards by the way.

What's more, the price of Chang Ruiqing is relatively cheap. If you want to use Li Jincai's 13th division to go to a coup d'état, don't even think about it without a million oceans! And Chang Ruiqing's regiment has 100,000 pieces of iron that can definitely move! As for the real fight, is this regiment a little less soldiers? Xu Shuzheng didn't think about it at all? Because in this whole world, probably no one will have enough to eat and have nothing to do, to defend President Li, right?

As for Chang Ruiqing's refusal to do it, Xu Shuzheng was even less worried. Not only because Chang Ruiqing is the person he entrained, but also this time it is not for nothing, in addition to 100,000 oceans, there is also the rank of major general and brigade commander of the 31st Mixed Brigade of the Army after the matter is completed.

When Chang Ruiqing was ordered to go to the War Department in Iron Lion Hutong and met with Xu Shuzheng, the other party mentioned the coup d'état to him straightforwardly as usual when talking about official business.

"Yaoru, I have already negotiated with Feng Hejian's representative Shi Lanfeng, and I am ready to ask Li Yuanhong to step down at the end of next month! The president gave Feng Hejian, and Duan Zhilao served as the prime minister and the supervisor of the war...... Your mission is simple, lead troops into the city and besiege the presidential palace to carry out military advice! But you remember for me, it's okay to be pretentious, don't be serious, you know? ”

Although Chang Ruiqing had instigated Xu Shuzheng to carry out a coup d'état before, when this errand really fell on his head, he was still a little apprehensive in his heart, but he didn't dare to have the slightest ambiguity on his face. Busy one stood upright, and shouted loudly: "The student understands! The students are only obeyed by the orders of the public. ”

Xu Shuzheng nodded with satisfaction, but the look on his face was still very solemn, and he frowned and said slowly: "This matter is not trivial, you must keep it secret after you go back, except for the most reliable person, no one can sue sù." Here's a check for 100,000 dollars. While speaking, Xu Shuzheng took out an envelope from the desk drawer and handed it to Chang Ruiqing: "According to the usual practice, you can take 30% of this money, and the officers below add up to 30%, and the rest will be given to the soldiers." After the deed is completed, of course, there will be a heavy reward, your model regiment will be expanded into a mixed brigade, and the brigade commander's errand will be done by you! ”

Chang Ruiqing still stood up and saluted, and said loudly: "Xie Zhenggong cultivates, and it is difficult for students to report their liver and brains!" ”

Xu Shuzheng squeezed out a little smile, nodded, and continued: "For the sake of convenience, I will give an order to the 13th Division to move the station of your regiment to Fengtai County, and there are still 50,000 rounds of ammunition, which will also be sent to Fengtai later, but you must take care of it, it is better whether the gun can be fired or not, as long as the presidential palace is surrounded." Also, the troops must restrain me, and you are not allowed to tamper with the people when you enter the city of Beijing, understand? ”

"The student understood." Chang Ruiqing nodded solemnly. After Xu Shuzheng finished explaining the matter, he didn't have the heart to talk to Chang Ruiqing anymore, pressed the electric bell on the table, and summoned a young officer in his twenties, with sunken eyes, hooked nose, and a somewhat gloomy face, and his military rank was actually a lieutenant colonel. Xu Shuzheng pointed at the young officer and said: "This is Lu Yixuan, whose name is Xiu, is Lu Zijia's own brother, and he is also a talented man in our Beiyang, who has just graduated from the Berlin Military Academy in Germany, so go to your model regiment to be a chief staff officer, and he will give you the order to launch this operation." Zixiu, this is Chang Ruiqing, a top student of our Baoding Military Academy, you will have to work together in the future. ”
