At that time, whether the protagonist will implement the imperial system or the head of state system will be decided by the vote of the book friends!!
"You rebellious ministers and thieves, you dare to murder the court officials, you are a rebellion, you are waiting to be raided and exterminated!" After Zhao Erxun was caught, even if he was tied up, he still didn't seem to recognize the reality, but repeatedly made insulting remarks, constantly threatening other soldiers.
Some of the soldiers had never seen the world, and they were really scared by such a threat from Zhao Erxun.
"What are you doing? If you don't bring him in yet, the generals are still waiting! Wu Haoxuan and James happened to pass by here, and when they heard Zhao Erxun's threatening words, they immediately ordered those soldiers.
"Yes, young master!" These little soldiers were all soldiers under Wu Xingquan, so they naturally knew Wu Haoxuan, and immediately pushed Zhao Erxun forward.
After seeing Wu Haoxuan and James, Zhao Erxun's eyes immediately widened.
"And foreigners? Bastards, you guys actually colluded with foreigners, it's just a matter of forgetting the classics! ”
Wu Haoxuan shook his head speechlessly, and after explaining a few words to James, he immediately walked towards the hall of the General's Mansion. Now, the entire General's Mansion has been charged, and the battle in the city has ended. Those troops loyal to Zhao Erxun were either annihilated or surrendered, and there were almost no stubborn resistance.
The soldiers of this era, after the First Sino-Japanese War and the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance, have long forgotten the mission of the soldiers. Many people really have no choice but to get along, so they come to join the army. If you want them to work hard, it's impossible.
Zhao Erxun has only been in charge of General Sheng Jing for two months, and he has not yet cultivated his own henchmen. So much so that when Zhang Yuting, Wu Xingquan and others rebelled, not only did he not get any news in advance, but there was no available person.
If Zhao Erxun could come to Fengtian two years in advance, with his ability, he would definitely have run Fengtian like an iron bucket. If you want to rebel again, there is almost no possibility.
In the hall of the General's Mansion, Ma Tengxi, Wu Xingquan, Feng Linge and Zhang Yuting were sitting upright on chairs, and their faces could not hide their excitement and excitement. They probably didn't expect that their actions would be so easy! not only defeated the general's mansion, but also captured Zhao Erxun alive. Well, their plan has been realized, and the next step is to move on according to the plan. Soon, they will become feudal officials who hold the power of a province.
At this time, Zhao Erxun was escorted into the hall. At this moment, as if he had recognized the reality, he no longer scolded. However, the anger on his face could not be concealed.
"Humph! You guys, the officials treat you well, but you openly rebel against the court, have your consciences been eaten by dogs? After seeing Ma Tengxi and the four of them, Zhao Erxun immediately scolded.
Suddenly, the expressions on the faces of several people were different. A trace of shame flashed in Ma Tengxi's eyes, and Wu Xingquan's expression was also a little unnatural. Feng Linge is face flashed a trace of anger, if it wasn't for the agreement with Yuan Shikai, Zhao Erxun would be sent to Yanjing City, maybe he would directly order the killing of people. As for Zhang Yuting, his face was expressionless, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"General, I'm really sorry. However, we also had to do this on the orders of Lord Yuan! Zhang Yuting said directly.
"Yuan Shikai? You actually colluded with Yuan Shikai, a rebellious minister and thief? Don't you know that Yuan Shikai is a traitor who wants to usurp the throne of a certain dynasty? No, you are the same as Yuan Shikai, you are also such traitors! Zhao Erxun looked suddenly enlightened. At the same time, it seems to regret it. If he had known that these guys had different intentions, he would have dealt with these guys a long time ago, and he would not have become a prisoner like now.
"Ahem! General, Lord Yuan is a rare good official, and it is really difficult for the court to accept Lord Yuan like this, so we ...... it, I hope your Lord can understand! Ma Tengxi coughed twice, and then said.
"Humph! It's useless to say more, this official didn't recognize you chaotic ministers and thieves, it was the official's mistake, and the official is sorry for the court! Kill or chop, whatever you want! This official is a person of the Qing Dynasty, and he is a ghost of the Qing Dynasty when he dies! "Zhao Erxun is very festive, as if he is ready to die for his own solar terms at any time.
"Don't worry, General, we won't kill you. Tomorrow, we'll send you to the capital! Wu Xingquan said.
"Humph!" Zhao Erxun still craned his neck, not looking at these people. As if looking at them any more would stain his eyes. However, after hearing that he would not be killed, Zhao Erxun still breathed a sigh of relief.
"Someone, take the general down to rest, and send someone to the capital early tomorrow morning!" Zhang Yuting commanded.
A few minions entered the hall and took Zhao Erxun out. This time, Zhao Erxun seemed very cooperative. He probably knows that he has no chance to turn the tables!
After Zhao Erxun left, Wu Haoxuan entered the hall.
"Congratulations to all uncles, after today, the Northeast will be ours!"
"Haha! I really didn't expect that we would also become a feudal official one day! Feng Linge immediately laughed. Isn't this qiē what they expect?
"It's not just the feudal officials, we are also the overlords who don't listen to the announcement." Zhang Yuting also had a smile on his face. After all, in the agreement with Yuan Shikai, they will become the military and political chiefs of the Northeast, and they will not have to obey the orders of the capital at all. This is the equivalent of a separate kingdom!
"Uncles, my little nephew has one more thing to say!"
"Haoxuan, where are there so many rules, just say it directly. We were able to succeed this time, you kid has done a great job! Ma Tengxi also cleaned up his mood and no longer felt sad about being a chaotic minister and thief. After all, this time the plan was successful, and the benefits he gained were too much.
"Yes. Ladies and gentlemen, although we succeeded this time, it is not easy for us to truly control the Northeast. In addition to General Shengjing in the Northeast, there are also Jilin General Fushun, Heilongjiang General Cheng Dequan, and Rehe Commander Kuishun. If we don't solve these people, we won't be able to take down the entire Northeast at all! ”
"Fushun and Cheng Dequan are relatively troublesome, that guy Kuishun has only a few thousand people, and he is vulnerable!" Feng Linge said nonchalantly. Among the three northeastern provinces, Mukden is the most important. At this time, the total population of the Northeast was only 20 million, but Mukden accounted for half of it. Whether it is military strength or economic strength, Jilin and Heilongjiang cannot be compared with Fengtian.
"In addition to these local forces, we also need to guard against Yuan Shikai!" Wu Haoxuan continued.
"Yuan Shikai? Will he go back on his word? The people were amazed. The reason why they supported Yuan Shikai was that they hoped to succeed in the appointment of the imperial court, so that they could justifiably become the overlords of the Northeast.
At this stage, Yuan Shikai may not regret it. On the contrary, in order to buy bones for a thousand dollars, Yuan Shikai had to treat us well. However, who dares to guarantee that after Yuan Shikai controls the overall situation, he will be able to endure us listening to the tune or not listening to the announcement? With Yuan Shikai's person, this seems impossible! ”
"So what are we going to do?" Everyone was a little anxious.
"The only way is to work hard to develop ourselves before Yuan Shikai grasps the big move. In addition, when the four of us deal with Yuan Shikai, we must work together. Otherwise, fighting separately will only make Yuan Shikai break each one! ”
Everyone is not stupid, and if you think about it simply, you can understand that it is entirely possible that there will be the possibility that Wu Haoxuan said.
"We four brothers, it is necessary to be in the same breath. If Yuan Shikai wants to go back on his word, then we will have to fight him to the death. The Northeast is ours, and no one can take it away! Zhang Yuting said domineeringly. From him, the momentum of the warlord who ruled the entire Northeast had already been preliminarily expressed.
"That's right, if Yuan Shikai wants to repent, then we will fight him to the end! In the Northeast, we are not afraid of him! The rest of the group nodded their heads as well. After all, no one wants to be snatched away from them after they have eaten all the fat in their mouths.
"Then, it's time for us to find a way to expand our strength. The little nephew has something to do with the Americans, and if your uncles want arms, the little nephew can help a little! Wu Haoxuan also took the opportunity to promote the products of his arsenal. Although this is the strength to strengthen the hand, first, they have to unite to survive Yuan Shikai's level. Otherwise, every qiē will be a floating cloud.
"Are they the weapons used by the soldiers under Second Brother Wu in tonight's battle?" Zhang Yuting said immediately.
At that time, the combat effectiveness of the battalion under Wu Xingquan was quite amazing, which shocked Ma Tengxi, Feng Linge and Zhang Yuting. Everyone knows that only with guns can we have territory and strength, and the most important thing is to ensure the strength of our own army.
Wu Haoxuan nodded. Ma Tengxi and several people immediately said that they would buy some. They had already seen the performance of those weapons, and naturally wanted to equip their troops with them. After all, Ma, Wu, Feng, and Zhang are allies, but they will also become opponents in the future, and finding ways to arm themselves and improve their military strength is the most important thing.
The next morning, Ma, Wu, Feng, and Zhang, in the name of General Sheng Jing, telegraphed the whole country, announcing Fengtian's support for the governor of Zhili and the minister of Beiyang, Yuan Shikai, on the side of Qingjun. Suddenly, this electrification of Fengtian caused the world to shake. When the whole country was crusading against Yuan Shikai, there were different voices.
