Chapter 4! After making up what I owed yesterday, the hippopotamus can finally sleep peacefully!

This is Yang Qiu's second visit to Nanjing, the first time the streets and alleys here are the joy of the early construction of the Republic of China, and this time although it coincides with the Chinese New Year, but the air is full of tension and uneasiness, including the Hairong ship when the three warships slowly docked on the dock, the first to arrive from Shanghai The guard company used his body to separate a human wall. This is not a Tianjin guard who can't carry guns, so everyone is loaded with guns.

It was not someone else who came to greet him, but Li Yuanhong, who had a conflict with him before in order to fight for control of Hubei, but now Li Yuanhong has completely changed as a person, not to mention being fat, and his two eyes narrowed into a line when he smiled.

Since Yang Qiu beckoned to him, he decisively abandoned Zhang Jizhi's Republican Party and elected the National Socialist Party, so that the position of vice president not only did not waver but became more and more solid, and he also set up an industry in his spare time, first let Wang Anlan buy an Italian second-hand ocean liner to run Luzon and Wuchang, bring rubber to the national defense army and earn a lot of money at the same time, last year I heard that Yang Qiu wanted to promote the planting of tobacco leaves in Guizhou and Yunnan, and also spent a lot of money to purchase fine seeds from South America, and contacted Spanish businessmen to buy a set of cigarette production lines to prepare to set up a Guiyang Tobacco Company.

Wang Anlan's expression was not as hostile as before, Rao Hanxiang continued to dress as a scholar, and what was surprising was that Jiang Zuobin, who had been the vice minister of the Nanjing War Department, actually came, and even Yang Qiu was a little stunned.

After pulling him into his newly bought car, Li Yuanhong's expression slowly became solemn, turned his head to look at the guards who were riding horses to protect him, and asked, "What are Chenhua's plans next?" ”

"What does the teacher think we should do next?"

I was quite surprised that Yang Qiu called his teacher Li Yuanhong, Yang Qiu's "standard" was indeed recommended by him to Zhang Biao to be promoted, and it is not an exaggeration to call a teacher according to the rules of domestic officialdom. But now he has a special status, although he is the vice president, but he still holds the military power and is the inspector of the eight provinces, and because of the handshake with Yuan Shikai in Tianjin, even foreigners think that he is a figure who can take over the state power, so the meaning of this teacher is very heavy! Hurriedly waved his hand: "Chenhua doesn't want to show my foreign appearance, the teacher doesn't dare to be." ”

"If it wasn't recommended by the teacher back then, there would not be today's Yang Qiu." Yang Qiu saw him with the pistol he gave him, and said with a smile: "I said when Lei Da Hob gave him the gun, you have been my superior all your life, but unfortunately you are no longer in the army now, and you can only be renamed teacher." ”

Li Yuanhong's smiling eyes are almost gone, after experiencing the ups and downs of the Xinhai year, after the foundation of Hubei was swallowed by this "student" again, he has no great ambition as long as he can keep the position of vice president, so he simply took the title with peace of mind and said: "Since Chenhua calls me a teacher, then I will also nag two words." ”

"As the old saying goes, steel is easy to break, and goodness is like water. I know that you are tough in everything, you want to arouse the people's morale, but everything is too much! Take Japan's case as an example, although Yuan Shikai has signed, but in fact, Japan has not fulfilled the treaty, and you can easily push off this matter, but you must be regarded as a thorn in their side, even if you go to the north in the future, will you be able to win against Japan? It's not that I'm saying a word of discouragement, maybe we don't have to be too scared, but the Navy one. When Li Yuanhong said this, he sighed: "The advantage is too big and too big!" And Britain is angry this time, it doesn't mean that they will always be angry, unless Russia will fall, otherwise Britain will have to rely on Japan to block Russia, and sooner or later the two families will still meet, if the loan and armament are really given, even if you take Beijing, you dare to repay the debt? The collusion between foreigners and Japan began in the year of Gengzi.

It's rare for him to say so much, which is already insightful in this era, but now even Europe doesn't know that a world war will start next year, let alone the Far East. It can also be seen from here that he has really changed a lot now, at least after the interests of both sides are combined, he, who is considered by the outside world to be the "core" of the National Socialist Party, has clearly drawn a line and simply began to think about the future.

Yang Qiu didn't have much to explain, after all, now he said to these people in China that there would be a world war that would be fought for four years in two years, and involving more than a billion people, it was estimated that there would be a blank of eye, so there was no need to bother with that spirit, he just asked: "I saw Jiang Zuobin just now, he." ”

"We should also thank Chenhua for recruiting another tiger general for us." Seeing Yang Qiu's puzzled face, Li Yuanhong smiled proudly: "I have been lobbying him to join the National Society earlier, but he is reluctant to do so. After the Chen Qimei incident this time, he felt that the Kuomintang was in turmoil, and in the past, in order to expand the revolutionary forces, he absorbed too many gang forces like the Qing Gang and Brother Pao, resulting in uneven quality in the ranks, and the uneven distribution of power after the revolution. ”

Li Yuanhong was afraid that Yang Qiu would have concerns, so he deliberately added an extra sentence: "Yuyan (Jiang Zuobinzi) is a rare talent in the Kuomintang, when Keqiang was the Minister of War before, he and Li Shucheng relied on him and Li Shucheng to support Chenhua Since he has the heart to rectify the whole country, he shouldn't care too much about the partisan and let this person go, and I think it is appropriate to leave some non-hostile Kuomintang talents, and the outside will praise you for your elegance." ”

How could Yang Qiu, the talent sent to the door, let go, not to mention that Jiang Zuobin had already entered the list he wanted to woo, but now he didn't have time to think more about arranging positions, and asked: "What happened to the Dangtu Iron and Steel Factory?" ”

After the plan to build the Dangtu Iron and Steel Plant began, Yang Qiu specially sent a letter to Li Yuanhong to take care of it, and he was also mediated to get the Iron Mountain at a low price, explaining the importance of industry and steel to Huang Keqiang and others, and immediately said after listening to the inquiry: "Tianzhu has returned from the United States, the first batch of mining equipment has all arrived, and the equipment and refractory bricks of the steel mill will be shipped one after another in May, and he promises to complete the first furnace of steel by the end of next year." ”

With the war imminent, when Tu and Jiangnan are the two major industries that Yang Qiu is most worried about, Jiangnan is still easy to do, Sa Zhenbing has already told him when he was in Tianjin that the navy will never let Jiangnan Factory get involved in the war, so when Tu has become his biggest heart disease, once Yuan Shikai's army comes to attack, when Tu is not far from Nanjing, will it be destroyed is the thing he is most concerned about, think about it and ask: "There is one thing I think the teacher will be honest with me, if Beiyang comes to attack, Nanjing one. How long can it last? ”

This question made Li Yuanhong very embarrassed, and sighed: "Don't hide it from Chenhua, Huang Keqiang is also worried about this matter." Although there are three divisions in Nanjing, only Xu Shaozhen can fight, and the others are useless. It's hard, I'm afraid. Therefore, yesterday he came to me to negotiate, saying that Beijing had cut off the operating expenses that should have been paid, so he wanted to borrow a sum of money from our Southwest Bank first, and then let Li Liejun draw a division of the Jiangxi army to come over to assist in the defense. ”

"Hmph, it's a good calculation, we paid for Li Liejun to fight, and it was a loss that he could come up with it." Yang Qiu sneered a few times, Huang Keqiang still didn't seem to believe in himself, the money had to be paid by himself, but the troops had to be transferred from the Jiangxi army, and he was a little angry and said: "He can't be trusted!" Teacher, you also need to prepare as soon as possible, this time it coincides with the New Year, and the soldiers don't want to fight at this time, and it also takes time to draw troops, so I predict that Yuan Shikai may be the first to do it before the end of the month. Whether Nanjing can be kept is a matter of great importance! It really doesn't work. I'll draw troops from the southwest to give you a seat, and you can't afford to lose this place anyway. ”

Li Yuanhong knows the importance of Nanjing, but he is now only the vice president of the bare pole, and all the military power is in the hands of Xu Shaozhen, and he said worriedly: "I'm afraid we don't count this matter, Chenhua still has to prepare for the worst."

"I know, so I'm going to let Mr. Binglin go and talk to Zhang Jizhi and Xu Shaozhen alone, unless they are willing to see Beiyang fully seize the two provinces of Jiangsu and Anhui, or one..." Yang Qiu's eyes were cold: "I can't help them!" ”

"Chenhua's method is good, Zhang Jizhi and Xu Shaozhen have always been in contact, and the two have a good personal relationship, but what are you going to do in Anhui?" Li Yuanhong worried: "Bai Wenwei has not been able to get the military power so far, the governor of Anhui is a joke, the soldiers are in the hands of Hu Wantai, the money is pinched by Sun Duosen, Ni Sichong's army is sure to defect, if Anhui is gone, Nanjing will not be able to hold it." ”

Anhui ̈ ̈ ̈ Thinking of this place, Yang Qiu also had a headache, and the General Staff led by Song Ziqing had repeatedly asked for action against Bai Wenwei in order to completely control the Anhui division in the palm of his hand as soon as possible. But considering that he has not yet torn his face with the Kuomintang, the three governors of the Kuomintang who are the most famous may trigger the Kuomintang and Beiyang to join forces, so he has been pressing, and now there is no hope for the two to join forces, so it is time to find a way to remove the two stumbling blocks of Jiangxi and Anhui first.

The convoy soon arrived at the Nanjing Left-behind Mansion, in addition to Huang Keqiang and Zhang Jizhi, who came first to get the news, Jiangsu Governor Xu Shaozhen and the members of the Provisional National Assembly were waiting at the door early, Yuan Shikai was exposed to the assassination case, and even his son Yuan Keding was involved, now who doesn't know that this is the most likely person to take over the power of the country, so the reporters who were already impatient when they saw him get off the car immediately pressed the shutter.

Because the "Declaration" was the first to poke out the secret agreement between China and Japan, the young reporter of the declaration in Nanjing also wanted to learn from his predecessors to break a big news, and when he saw him, he immediately squeezed to the front and asked: "Inspector Yang, did you come to Nanjing this time to negotiate and solve the affairs of the north?" ”

"I'm not here to negotiate!"

Yang Qiu stood up straight, his eyes swept over to greet the people, and his expression was serious: "Mr. Dunchu has exhausted his efforts to draw up the "Temporary Covenant Law", and he wants to use this method to stabilize the foundation of the country, but some people with ulterior intentions are afraid of the covenant and feel that the covenant has ruined their way, so they sent someone to assassinate him!" Heaven is unfair, resulting in an untimely death! But this does not frighten Yang, and this time he came to Nanjing to maintain the authority of the "Provisional Law"! I am here to formally request the convening of an extraordinary National Assembly in Nanking to impeach the Provisional President. Yuan Shikai! ”。！。
