If it was in the past, maybe it was still a very normal time, and pedestrians walked the streets freely, but now...

Because of the recent assassination, the central hospital has been surrounded by the people of the Guards Regiment, and more than a battalion of troops has been stationed in the hospital, and almost everywhere are the officers and soldiers of the National Society wearing black Type 11 uniforms, and they are all looking at those who enter the hospital with vigilant eyes.

This kind of noisy style makes many patients who come to the hospital for medical treatment nervous.

Fortunately, at this time, there were still very few western hospitals in Anqing City, and this central hospital funded by Yan Shao was definitely a large hospital in Anhui, no, to be exact, a large hospital with the best medical capacity in the country, so even in this situation, there was still an endless stream of people who came to see a doctor.

————————————————————

"What, it's still noisy inside?"

The company commander of a guards regiment walked through the door of the ward, listened to the slight sound of quarrels coming from inside, and hurriedly asked a few soldiers standing at the door.

"Hmm...," he nodded, and the soldier standing at the door smiled bitterly. It didn't take long to get in and there was a quarrel, and it hasn't been over yet..."

Glancing into the ward, the company commander pursed his lips disdainfully. "Politicians..."

Yan Shao's assassination naturally caused public anger in Anhui, but there was no definite plan within the military government on how to retaliate. Originally, in the military government, Jiang Xin and the others planned to discuss it first, and then make a decision, but who knew that Yan Shao had already announced it to the public. Ask the Kuomintang to hand over 57 people, otherwise they will be at their own risk...

57 people, seeing Yan Shao, not only gave the number. And even after everyone's name was clear, Jiang Xin and the others no longer doubted whether this was done by the Kuomintang. But Yan Shao made such a decision without asking for their consent, which was definitely not something that Jiang Xin and the others could tolerate.

Therefore, on the second day after Yan Shao made and announced the decision, Jiang Xin and others had already come to the door and asked Yan Shao to take back the decision for —————— a week, and if they didn't hand it over, they would bear the consequences? What is the difference between this and a declaration of war?

In fact, there was also a serious split within the junta in this matter. The radicals believed that the Kuomintang had sent someone to assassinate Yan Shao. This in itself was already a declaration of war against the junta, and the opposition believed that neither the common people nor the gentry in the country wanted an armed conflict. Now that Yan Shao was assassinated, public opinion is in favor of Anhui, and they can take advantage of this favorable environment to denounce and sanction the Kuomintang and make more people recognize the true face of the Kuomintang. And this favorable opportunity should not be destroyed by force ...

Words of the former. Apparently the military is the most numerous, and the latter is undoubtedly on the side of the government ...

Now the two factions are arguing with each other, which makes the soldiers at the door a little annoyed.

"Governor, you must make a careful decision..."Sitting next to Yan Shao, Jiang Qian said with a straight face.

As the Minister of Education, he is undoubtedly the backbone of the Lord and the faction, and on the side, Jiang Xin, the Minister of Transportation, also nodded. However, he also knew that he didn't have much weight in Yan Shao's eyes. So this time, he specially brought Zhan Tianyou, who was carrying out railway construction work in other places, over.

In the past six months, Zhan Tianyou has been busy building railways outside. The more than 10 million yuan that Yan Shao handed over to him at the beginning had already been spent. In the end, more than 10 million yuan was added, but Zhan Tianyou did not live up to Yan Shao's expectations of him, and in more than half a year, Zhan Tianyou used more than 20 million yuan to build more than 800 kilometers of railways for him, and almost all the major cities in Anhui were connected by railway.

If you look at it on average, you have to repair at least 3 or 4 kilometers a day.

Naturally, at a normal level, no country would be able to build it so quickly, and when the Chinese workers built the Pacific Railroad in the United States, they only set a record of more than one kilometer a day.

However, this time Zhan Tianyou is advancing in multiple ways, such as Suzhou to Hefei, Hefei to Anqing, Wuhu to Dangtu, Huizhou to Tongling, these railways are all carried out at the same time after exploration, plus Yan Shao has not been stingy with money in this matter, so the progress of the railway is extremely fast, and more than 800 kilometers of railways have been built in more than half a year.

Originally, Zhan Tianyou planned to continue to build and strive to let the railway connect all the big cities in series, but who knew that Lu Dao heard about it. After learning about this, Zhan Tianyou immediately took the train that had just been opened and ran back from Hefei, wanting to see how the situation was, after all, Yan Shao was not thin on him at all, especially the funds for repairing the railway, and there was never a shortage of funds, so that Zhan Tianyou, who had been aggrieved for half his life, could finally repair a happy one—————— for this railway maniac, it was not interesting to get promoted or make a fortune, and the most important thing was to build an extra kilometer of railway.

Who knew that Lu Dao had just come back and was pulled back by Jiang Xin.

Although Jiang Xin is the minister in the Ministry of Communications, and Zhan Tianyou is only the second minister, which is commonly known as the second-in-command, everyone in the Ministry of Communications knows that compared with Jiang Xin, Yan Shao values Zhan Tianyou more. If it weren't for Zhan Tianyou's preference for building railways, his lack of interest in highways, and his frequent running around, I'm afraid the position of Minister of Transportation would have been given to Zhan Tianyou.

On the other hand, Zhan Tianyou himself was not interested in these things, but Jiang Xin was his boss after all, so he had to come. However, Zhan Tianyou's position on this matter is also very contradictory, as an engineer, he naturally hopes for peace, so that he can build more railways, but Yan Shao took him a lot in the past, and now he has made such a big thing If he opposes it, it will be a little too much...

So although he was pulled over by Jiang Xin, Zhan Tianyou didn't say a word, didn't say anything, just watched Jiang Xin and the others arguing with the generals and colonels of the army there.

"Okay, enough of the quarrel..."Seeing that the two groups of people were arguing more and more unlikely, Yan Shao, who had been silent, raised his head and shouted.

Although the voice was not loud, after he spoke, the people in the room obediently closed their mouths.

Almost instantly, the room, which had been very noisy, suddenly fell silent.

It was already the third day after the assassination ended. Yan Shao's complexion was obviously much better than the previous two days, but there was still a little haze between his eyebrows, because in the next ward, Eleno and Caterina were in better health. But I still haven't been able to wake up, and now Lu Ying and a few maids in the manor are taking care of the two of them there...

Although the doctor has already said that the two of them may wake up at any time, but if they don't wake up for a day, Yan Shao will always be worried, which also makes his temper become more and more irritable in the past few days.

But then again, if not next door. Yan Shao couldn't tolerate them arguing like this. In fact, it was precisely because of Zhilu Dao that these people were definitely going to quarrel, so he deliberately moved the location to the next door, so that no matter how much they quarreled. It won't affect Elaline next door...

"What I decided will not change, a week, just a week, five days later if the Kuomintang does not give me an explanation. I'm going to deal with this in my own way..."

"But. Hearing Yan Shao's words, Li Liang and the others' faces changed, and Jiang Xin even raised his hand to say something, but Yan Shao just waved his hand. "You guys go out of Lu first, Fu Xiuming, Zhang Ying and others stay..."

Since Yan Shao has already said Fu Xiuming and Zhang Ying, then the others are naturally people from the army, seeing that Yan Shao insists on doing so. Jiang Xin and the others all sighed, and then walked out of the room in turn.

As for those who remain. It's nothing for Zhang Ying to be so steady, but the younger ones have already exposed the smugness on their faces.

————————————————————

"Alas..."Walking out of the ward, Jiang Xin, Jiang Qian and the others sighed, and then looked at Li Liang and Yan Yongnian, Huang Hao, Zong Wu and others on the side. Deputy Governor, Minister Yan, look at this..."

"yes, if it continues like this, I'm afraid things will get out of hand..."

"Otherwise, what else..."Sighing helplessly, Li Liang didn't want to use force directly, because in his opinion, it was not time to use force yet, but this incident obviously touched Yan Shao's backlash, and after seeing Yan Shao's appearance, he already understood that this time he really couldn't persuade Yan Shao anymore...

"But..."

"There's nothing to do, the next thing is up to the Kuomintang to do it, if they hand over the people, everything will be fine, otherwise...... Then it's a lot of fun..."After speaking, Li Liang continued to shake his head, and behind him, Huang Hao, Yan Yongnian, Zong Wu and others followed in turn, leaving only Jiang Xin and the main faction to look at each other.

On the other hand, after Li Liang and the others left, Yan Shao also went directly to the point in the room.

"Since all the people in the way have gone, then I'll ask you directly..."After speaking, Yan Shao shook his head. I was going to wait until the end of the year to get in, but now it's ...... Forget it, let me ask you directly, if you do it now, do you have the confidence to win both Beiyang and the Kuomintang at the same time? ”

Yan Shao will never let go of the Kuomintang this time, absolutely not!

But he was not naïve enough to think that Yuan Shikai would not get involved in this matter, in other words, as long as he did it, then it would be a matter of time before Beiyang would get involved, and then Anhui would have to face pressure from all sides...

The reason is also very simple, Cheng Dequan is a neutral and will not mention it for the time being, but Shandong and Henan are now within the scope of Yuan Shikai's power...

"In addition, there is Zhejiang, Zhu Rui, that bastard has taken refuge in Yuan Shikai, if he really wants to fight, he will probably stand on Yuan Shikai's side..." In addition, there is Li Liejun from Jiangxi, that guy is the number one hardcore of the Kuomintang, and he must be cleaned up first, in Hubei, Li Yuanhong is a wall-to-wall grass, but many of the people under him are from the Kuomintang..."

In this way, it can be said that except for Jiangsu, there are all enemies around, and...

If the problem is not properly handled, I am afraid that Jiangsu will also be involved in the future...

"The key is to look at the first battle..."After a moment of silence, Fu Xiuming spoke. Zhu Rui, Cheng Dequan and Li Yuanhong are all some wall grass, as long as the first battle is fought beautifully, there is no need to worry about their scattering for the time being, and Zhejiang and Jiangsu, the combat effectiveness of the troops in these two provinces is not strong, one division ...... It should be enough..."

"Jiangxi's words..."Zhang Ying also said after thinking about it. If it is only on the defensive, a regiment plus the local militia will do. However, if it is an active attack, it will require at least half a division, which is more secure. A division is best..."

Historically, Beiyang dealt with Li Liejun in Jiangxi, which can only be described as simple and easy.

Although Li Liejun was a hardcore member of the Kuomintang, he had to run away in less than half a month...

"In the past six months, with a large loan, Yuan Shikai has expanded his strength to more than a dozen divisions, even if one of the divisions of the old foundation is now stationed in Outer Mongolia, but the strength still cannot be ignored. And now we are surrounded by a group, although there are some grasses on the wall, but if the battle is not fought well. These wall grasses will definitely step in and get a piece of the pie, but..."Speaking of this, Fu Xiuming said confidently. "In any case, we will win in the end..."

"The junta's reserves are well established. 150,000 to 200,000 troops can be mobilized at any time. Combat effectiveness aside, at least it's okay to defend the city, so that we can concentrate as many forces as possible to deal with Yuan Shikai who is heading south..."

"Although Beiyang has expanded a lot of troops now, it is very similar to us a year ago, the old foundation is not mentioned for the time being, most of the new troops are new soldiers, their combat effectiveness is weak, and there is no heavy firepower. It's easy to deal with..."

"So you're all confident?" Cross your hands. Yan Shao looked at Fu Xiuming and them.

Standing opposite Yan Shao, Fu Xiuming and the others also nodded their heads to express their determination, and one or two of them may have a little flickering eyes, but in the current atmosphere, it is absolutely impossible to shake their heads and make another choice.

"Since you all have confidence, it seems that I can save some saliva, just like I said to Li Liang and them just now, a week, five days to be exact, if the Kuomintang can't give me a reasonable answer, I will make them pay..."

"Jiangxi, will be the first target of the knife, Yongyan, give you a division of troops, are you sure to take Jiangxi down, right?" After speaking, Yan Shao glanced at Xiao Yongyan.

"Absolutely no problem..."Two steps forward, Xiao Yongyan stood upright. Give me a week, and I'll definitely take Jiangxi down for you..."

"That's it, take Jiangxi, Yuan Shikai will definitely not be as coy as he is now, but seize this opportunity and find a way to get rid of me, then the rest of the things will be simple, except for Xiao Yongyan's division, the remaining troops are ready to go north, as long as the first battle goes well, we will push all the way north..." I may not have told you about it in the past, but I was going to wait until the end of the year to do it, but since I ...... Then I have no choice but to push the boat with the current, and all of them laugh at it, as long as things go well this time, we can completely promote nationalism throughout the country..."

Yan Shao originally planned to do it at the end of the year, but this was the first time they had heard of Fu Xiuming, after all, Yan Shao couldn't tell them that the First World War was likely to break out in 1914, but even so, they still replied loudly while their hearts were shaking.

"Yes!"

————————————————————

At 11:30 p.m. on March 27, 1913, there were only 30 minutes left before Yan Shao's deadline for the Kuomintang.

On this day, almost everyone held their breath and waited for the final result, whether it was the Kuomintang to hand over the people, or Yan Shao's side to retaliate.

This answer is of great concern not only in Japan, but also in Japan.

In the harbor of Yokohama, still in the fishing boat, Chen Qimei sat in the cabin and quietly read the newspaper.

This newspaper is Japanese, and almost all of the reports on it are related to domestic affairs, after all, if this incident is not handled well, it is likely to become a full-scale conflict between China's second and third major powers.

However, the Japanese are also curious about what the outcome will be.

At this point, it is impossible for the Kuomintang to hand over people, so how should Yan Shao retaliate?

A year ago, the Kuomintang or the League still occupied Nanjing, and Yan Shao only needed to fight in Nanjing, but now the governor of Jiangsu is already Cheng Dequan, from a certain point of view, that is, the land of the neutral faction, and the only province controlled by the Kuomintang around Yan Shao is Jiangxi, is it possible that Yan Shao wants to fight in Jiangxi? As a punishment?

"Where will you choose?" Holding the newspaper in her hand, Chen Qimei frowned and thought.

Although he caused a lot of trouble, he was still very concerned about the problems of the Kuomintang, after all, he was once a core member of the Kuomintang anyway, so he was constantly in the newspapers every day.

It's just that at this time, Chen Qimei didn't know what to do, just outside the fishing boat, several people in black were looking at the watch on their wrists, looking at the time little by little...

On the watch, the hands keep turning, and time is passing little by little...

After a long waiting time, 30 minutes passed...

"Let's do it..."Seeing that the time had come, the man in black led by him said in a deep voice.

Hearing his words, the others also nodded their heads.

Just when Chen Qimei was still reading the newspaper in the cabin, there was a loud noise, and before she could react, Chen Qimei had lost her consciousness.

On both sides of the fishing boat, others in the harbor saw only a fishing boat on the pier explode, and debris flew tens of meters away...

At the same time, similar things happened in many places in Japan and China, some explosions, some shootings, many types, but only one result, death... (To be continued......)
