Chapter 120: Energized Republic
"I have heard for a long time that Lord Qin is strict in governing the army, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation." Yang Du looked at the neat queue under the city wall, the aura of slaughter, and nodded in praise. With this momentum, it is already a rare strong army. Qin Yu really has the capital to be proud of.
"It's far worse than the Prime Minister's Six Towns in Beiyang." Qin Yu said humbly, "It's just that it can be regarded as the No. 1 potential force outside the gate." ”
"The matter of electrifying the republic will be Lord Lao Qin." Yang Du nodded. "The prime minister said that as long as this matter is done, after the abdication of the Qing Emperor, the Lord Qin will be awarded the number of 27 divisions."
"Mr. Yang, don't worry, I'm not a two-faced person, although Governor Zhao has a heart for the Qing court, he can't bear so many swords, this time he has to agree and agree, and he has to agree if he doesn't agree."
Qin Yu smiled confidently, in this era, the regular army of the Beiyang Group only had six or seven divisions, and a division was even rarer than a provincial overseer, so that for a period of time later, many overseers who were also division commanders were more willing to be called division seats by their subordinates. However, as a traverser, Qin Yu naturally knew that the further back he went, the division commander would not be as good as the local overseer after all, and it seemed that he would have to work harder later.
"Lord Governor, Lord Feng, you are here." Qin Yu looked at Zhao Erxun and the others who came together. Seeing Zhao Erxun from a distance, Yang Du stepped aside.
Nearly 10,000 troops gathered in the north of the city, and it was impossible not to alarm Zhang Zuolin, Zhao Erxun and others.
"Yuchen, you have transferred so many soldiers to the north of the city, you can tell me something first, so many soldiers are gathered together, and you really think that something big is going to happen when you look at it." Zhao Erxun said with a hint of a smile.
"Your Excellency the Governor, the stakes are very high, and without the participation of my subordinates, I can't do it alone." Qin Yu said in a harmonious voice.
"I don't know what Yuchen said?"
"The Manchu Qing Dynasty has been sitting for hundreds of years, resulting in the decline of the country, bullying by foreign powers, revolutionaries pulling flags everywhere to rebel, and there are also a group of people who are in charge of the republic, I don't want to revolution, but the republic seems to work. If you are poor, you will change, and if you change, you will be successful. The voice of Kannai advocating a republic is getting stronger and stronger, and anyway, I agree, what does the governor think? Qin Yu stared at Zhao Erxun and said.
What the? Zhao Erxun was stunned by this sudden change, Zhao Erxun was deeply educated by the imperial power, and he was jealous of any revolutionary party and the republic. But there is no force in his hand that can be mobilized, and there is no way to take Qin Yu at all.
"Now that you've decided, what does it matter if you know about me." Zhao Erxun said angrily.
"The Governor is the supreme military and political head of the three eastern provinces, and such a big matter naturally has to be issued through the Governor." Qin Yu's voice was calm, although the military strength in his hands was the strongest at the moment, Zhao Erxun was still the nominal supreme leader, and the influence of the telegrams sent by the two of them was not of the same level at all. "By the way, why didn't Lord Zhang and Lord Feng come?"
"The two of them are busy with military affairs, and they can't get away for the time being, and the stakes are very high, so I think it's better to convene the officials of Fengtian Province again to discuss again?" Zhao Erxun smiled coldly in his heart, Lan Tianwei was deprived of military power because he was transferred from the mountain, Zhang Zuolin, Feng Linge was at a disadvantage at this time, how could he be the same?
"Alright then, I don't think there's a need for a meeting. I will lead the rear patrol battalion to-day, and the second mixed will telegraph the whole country, in favor of the republic, and if the Governor thinks it is inappropriate, he can do it himself. "If Xiliang is here, Qin Yu will be polite, after all, Xiliang was not bad to him before, but Zhao Erxun has been pulled over by Zhang Zuolin anyway, and it is useless to be polite.
"It seems that Governor Zhao is still hesitant about the republic." Looking at the back of Zhao Erxun leaving in a hurry, Yang Du, who had not made a sound for a long time, walked out again.
"Governor Zhao has no soldiers and no power in his hands, so there is nothing to worry about, but the only ones to worry about are Zhang Zuolin, Feng Linge and other rear road patrol troops. The prime minister estimates that there is just a shortage of one to take the lead in making trouble. If necessary, I'll fire the first shot. Qin Yu said with a slightly murderous aura.
"Lord Qin has a heart." Yang Du nodded.
"Brothers, I have summoned you here today, and there is an order to announce, the Qing Dynasty is almost over, and I want to respond to the generals of the Beiyang Army in Guannai and telegraph the republic. There may be some brothers who don't even know what a republic is. I won't explain it to you, I just want to ask you, how do I usually treat you? ”
"My lord treats me like a mountain!"
"Your Excellency, you can do whatever you want!"
"No matter what you do, as long as the adult gives an order, the king of heaven will also tear him down!" All sorts of mocking voices rang out.
"Good! It's not in vain that Lao Tzu usually treats you as his own. The horn brought Qin Yu's slightly rude voice to everyone's ears.
"For the etiquette set by the emperor, I have long been displeasing to the eyes, a manly husband, kneeling to the sky and kneeling to his parents. Why kneel to others? At this point, whoever wants me to kneel, I am the first to turn my face with him, they are all raised by my father and mother, why should others be superior. When we walked in the streets and alleys, we had to take a detour when we saw foreigners, for fear of bumping into others. For what? It's not because the emperor can't govern the country, we are such a big country, even other people can't do a small country, foreigners are uncles, we all have to pretend to be grandsons, if the emperor doesn't get off the horse, not only do we have to live such a life, our sons, grandsons, also have to be like us, with their tails between their legs, and they can't stand up in front of foreigners. Are you willing to live such a life? ”
"Unwilling, unwilling!" The soldiers below raised their rifles again and again and roared loudly.
"Yes, I don't want to! It's all two shoulders and one head, why is someone else's waist board more stiff than ours? Why do we have to let others, in a word, whoever the can't govern the country, just give it to Lao Tzu! Let those who are capable go up, so as not to harm others and themselves! Governor Zhao didn't agree, so I led troops to surround the Governor's Palace, and I couldn't control other places, but on the ground in the northeast, whoever dared to go against the tune would be killed by Lao Tzu, and whoever would go with Lao Tzu! ”
"Swear to follow your lordship!"
"Swear to follow your lordship!"
"Okay, now follow Lao Tzu into the city! Siege the Doge's Palace! "At this time, Zhang Zuolin and Feng Linge's total strength has exceeded seven thousand, although they are a few points inferior to themselves, but if they really want to fight in Fengtian City, even if they win, their losses are not small, and the damage to the ancient city of Fengtian is even more immeasurable. Don't look at Yuan Shikai now, how much status he can have in the future, or how much strength he has in his hands, Yuan Shikai is not a soft-hearted person. Directly pull Zhao Erxun off the horse, under the banner of the republic, if Zhang Zuolin does it, the gentry and people of Fengtian City will also blame Zhang Zuolin's head first, if Zhang Zuolin does not do it, Qin Yu, who controls the Governor's Mansion, has the absolute upper hand both militarily and politically, and there is time to fight Zhang Zuolin in the future, and he can solve Zhang Zuolin by political means without bloodshed, and Feng Linge's threat is naturally the best.
