"Your Excellency, has the Empire's punishment of China been substantially acted?" When Sakanishi Rihachiro entered the door, he tore off his hat and said angrily, the Beiyang government started with Yuan Shikai, passed through Li Yuanhong, Feng Guozhang, and then Duan Qirui, and Xu Shichang, which didn't treat him as an adviser to Japan and be polite to him? But since Qin Yu entered Beijing, not only did he cool him aside, but he refused his invitation no less than ten times, and even Xu Shichang, who was polite to him before, and several senior officials in Beijing, did not treat him now, and how far away he was, so that his current work in the Republic of China almost came to a standstill.

"Your Excellency Sakanishi, the Empire's previous planned operation in Shandong has been suspended." Aoki said with a long sigh.

"What? Suspension, why suspension, must be taught enough lessons to the people of China, so that they can know what is meant by moderation, so that the heavy losses suffered by the empire can be recovered. ”

"Neither the international nor the domestic situation is facing the empire to fight a big war with the Chinese at this time." Aoki Xuanchun shook his head and said, "Britain and the United States have publicly expressed their support for the customs of the Chinese people, and the other powers have also been static, although the empire has found some excuses to delay the withdrawal of overseas Chinese and capital, but now that the great powers have recognized the customs sovereignty of the Chinese people, the insistence of the empire has become meaningless." And in Shandong Qin Yu can mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops at any time, the Chinese people at this time have a great sense of hatred for the empire, the empire has been mired in the quagmire of the Russian Far East, the Korean rebels are now unable to clean up at all, at this time there is no longer the ability to force war with the Chinese people under the opposition of Britain and the United States and other powers, the current shape is completely different from the Russo-Japanese War of the year, several fronts of combat are in the enemy battlefield, the empire's logistics pressure is too great, it is easy to lead to defeat. ”

"Do you just sit back and watch the people of China grow and grow?" Rihachiro Sakanishi said hatefully. "It is necessary to use certain countermeasures to balance the development of the Chinese people, Qin Yu has taken back the customs at this time, integrated almost all the forces of the Northern China, and has enough financial support, it will not take a few years for him to complete the unification of the Chinese people again. This is too bad for the Empire. ”

"Of course, you can't let the people of China be idle like this, you must find something to do for the people of China, just like Qin Yu did in North Korea." Aoki Xuanchun squinted his eyes and said, Qin Yu is still the first one who threatened with force and made Japan suffer a big loss.

"The progress of Araki-kun's side is very smooth, and I believe that the news of the great change in the situation in Outer Mongolia will soon reach Beijing. However, the military junta in the south of China is completely scattered, and those old congressmen are still on Beijing's side from the bottom of their hearts. Especially after the customs incident of the people of China, after the recovery of the Tangnu Ulianghai. Once the north is reunified, the southern provinces will still be a little afraid of the central government. Rihachiro Sakanishi shook his head, he felt for the first time that the rise of the Republic of China had reached the point where it was irresistible.

"The forces that can support the Republic of China are Outer Mongolia in the north, Tibet in the southwest, and Hui people in the northwest, all of which are forces that are not very obedient to the central government of China. As long as he continues to create riots for Qin Yu, he can slow down the pace of his unification of the Republic of China. Moreover, Henan, Shaanxi, Gansu, and even Shanxi have already experienced a certain amount of drought this year, and there is still no obvious sign of rainfall, and the people of China are likely to be in drought next year. Even if the empire has a lot of troubles, Qin Yu's life will never be easy. Aoki Nobujun smiled coldly.

"In this way, the empire has really compromised this time, and it is really a great shame for the imperial soldiers." Rihachiro Sakanishi unwillingly slammed his fist on the table. In North Korea, it was bombed by planes from the northeast and has not yet fought back. I was forced by the other party to sign the new customs agreement, and I felt aggrieved when I thought about it.

"With the threat of going to war and severing diplomatic relations, the empire really can't make a desperate bet, and going to war with the people of China is extremely unwise economically, diplomatically, and militarily." Aoki Xuanjun said helplessly, "It seems that the golden age of the empire in China is gone forever, and there will be some changes in the direction of your work in the future." ”

"Your Excellency, what do you think of the ten hectares of land in the Umujur Banner of the Zen Light Temple?" Chelin Dorji asked Chen Yi tentatively.

"King Chelin Jun, the temple now has enough land and wealth, and there is also the money allocated by the central government every year, which is enough to meet his usual needs, and there is no need to occupy more land. What do you think? ”

Chen Yi took a sip of tea, since Cai Rongshou brought a group of people to Kulun, his life has been much better, even if it is the usual majestic lama, and the old Russian personnel who have not looked at him as a member of the Outer Mongolian Council before, at this time in Kulen is also extraordinarily well-behaved. Chen Yi had to sigh that no matter whether it was inside or outside the customs, as long as there were people, it was full of the idea of subduing people by force. Whoever has the big fist has the right to speak.

Although Cai Rongshou brought only a regiment of the Jin army, with more than 2,000 people, it can only be regarded as a second-rate armed force in the pass, but it can be placed in Kulun, which is the absolute elite, and even the old army of Tsarist Russia cannot ignore such a force. This is also one of the reasons why Yan Shichao did not immediately retaliate against most of the old Tsarist army after taking Tangnu Wulianghai.

"In that case, then I'll go and reply to the Bayan Lama." Chelin Dorji's face was happy, as long as he had the support of the Han army under Chen Yi's control, he was not afraid of the retaliation of the Nabayan Lama. At this time, the army that the entire Kulun could gather was only a few thousand people, and they were basically only herdsmen, and they had no chance of winning against the heavily armed army of the Han people. What's more, they, the princes and nobles who support the Han people, can also control a part of the army.

"How can it be that the people of the state of Chelindorzi are so hateful that they have colluded with the Han people to welcome the Han army to Kulen. They are the shameful sinners of the steppe, traitors to the Golden Family! The Bayan Lama angrily slapped a young lama offering butter in the face, "Get out!" ”

The young lama withdrew in fear, not understanding why Bayan, who had always seemed to be amiable, was so violent that he looked terrified from the bottom of his heart.

"Before the Han people came, we could circle any piece of land we wanted, and when did we need to ask those people for instructions? Now that the Han people are here, we are just giving each other a face. Let's just go through the motions, but I didn't expect the Han people to really greedily think that the steppes of Great Mongolia belong to them, and they didn't approve our request. The gang of the King of Nalin County can't escape the involvement, this time it is clear that they want to cooperate to suppress the Living Buddha! Lama Waldo also said with great resentment, "What is even more incomprehensible is that Jeba Dangbuzun actually agreed to the Han people to send troops this time, it seems that he is no longer worthy of being a living Buddha of the grassland." Bless the people of the steppe. ”

"We must drive the Han people away, and punish Chelin Dorji, if these people are allowed to seize power, I am afraid that we will not even have a temple in the grassland in the future." Bayan Lama nodded, but his face quickly showed embarrassment again, "But the Han army is not something we can resist, not to mention the help of traitors like Chelin Dorji, our odds of victory are too low." ”

"Venerable Master. Although we can't deal with the Han people, there are always people who can. Waldo smiled coldly, "The Han people entered the grassland in a big way, and they must have touched the interests of others, as long as we can use it properly, it will not be difficult to expel the Han people, as long as the Han people leave, are they afraid of what tricks they can play?" Valdo had a gloomy smile on his face. Invite the Han people to Kulun, and then you must give way to Chelin Dorji. The king of Nalin County paid the price. ”

"Help, please? Who do you mean? "Bayan is not stupid, as soon as he heard Waldo's words, he knew that this guy was prepared today.

"Please the Russians, the Russians and the Han have been fighting for Mongolia for a long time, and the hatred between the two sides has been knotted for decades, and it has not yet dissolved. We can use the Russian army to drive away the Han army. Then clean up the princes and nobles who have taken refuge in the Han people. ”

"Russians? Didn't the Russians fight a battle with the Han in the East before, and they still suffered defeat? Since we can't beat the Han people, what use can we use them as helpers? Bayan shook his head and said, I only roughly heard that the Russians were defeated in the first battle on the Middle East Road, and he did not know the specific situation.

"Venerable Master. The Han Chinese have always had so many troops, why haven't they sent more people to Kulen all the time? Because they also have their own enemies internally, and the Han people have few horses, it is too inconvenient to come to Kulen so far away and cold in winter. Conditions in Outer Mongolia limited the possibility of a large northward march of the Han army. According to the information I have received, this guy Sukhbaatar has already made contact with the new government of Russia, and since we could cooperate with the tsar before, we can naturally get the support of the new Russian government now. Waldo said with a twinkle in his eyes. The reason why the Russians were unable to provide the pre-Mongol supplies as promised was also due to the unrest in their country. Now that the Han people have chosen Chelin Dorji, I don't think we have any choice. ”

"You have a point, but the new Russian government is not yet in a position to send troops into Outer Mongolia, their influence has not yet expanded here, and perhaps by the time they come, we will already be persecuted by the Chelindorji and the Han Chinese. I think it's better to invite the Russians who have been in contact with us to Kulen first, and then secretly contact the new Russian government, so that we can maneuver around and let the enemy control each other, and we can also get the greatest benefit. ”

"The water originates from the world, and the white jade pot gushes out of the flat ground." Tan Yanmin was wearing a thick cotton jacket, it was late autumn in the north, and he, a native of Hunan Province, had not been in Jinan for the first time, and he was still a little uncomfortable with water and soil.

"Governor Tan is very poetic, worthy of being a cultural person, this sentiment is not comparable to those of us who are coarse." A loud laugh came from behind him.

"It turned out to be Yao Shuai, I don't know who this is?" Tan Yanmin turned around and saw Sun Liechen, and was extremely surprised to find that Sun Liechen actually fell behind a young man, seeing that the young man was only in his thirties, countless thoughts flashed in Tan Yanmin's mind, and he couldn't help but be stunned in his heart.

"In front of this, I don't dare to be handsome, this is Yu Shuai." Sun Liechen introduced with a smile, "We just came from Wanghe Pavilion, but I didn't expect Brother Zu An to also come to see Leopard Spring, and we happened to come over." ”

Qin Yu was originally playing on the lake with Qin Ni and a few little guys, and he planned to see Tan Yanmin again tomorrow, but now that they have met, it is better to choose a day than to hit a day.

"It turned out to be Yu Shuai, Yu Shuai came to Lu, why didn't you know that our subordinates were going to greet him?" Hearing this, Tan Yanmin hurriedly saluted Qin Yu, thinking that I am afraid that only Qin Yu can make Sun Liechen, a provincial official, so respectful.

"You're polite, no matter how big an official is, he is also a human being, and it is inappropriate to make such a big show, and it is a waste of manpower. Is Governor Tan still used to staying in Shandong during this time? Qin Yu waved his hand and asked.

"It's not bad, the mountains and rivers here in Jinan are good, there are few bandits in the territory, there are not many things in government affairs, there are Yao Shuai in military affairs, and there are not many things on my side, and I can still enjoy the mountains and rivers in my spare time." Tan Yanmin said with a smile.

"Since Governor Tan is so capable and handy in handling Shandong's government affairs, I can rest assured, Governor Wang Yongjiang of Fengtian has been admiring Governor Tan for a long time, and he is also a good hand in governing and managing money, I will introduce Governor Tan another day, I believe Governor Wang will be very happy to get to know Governor Tan."

"Okay, then there will be Lao Yushuai." Tan Yanmin nodded hurriedly, his heart sank, knowing that he had been a little slow since he entered Shandong during this time, and it seemed that he would have to pay more attention to government affairs later.

"This Tan Zuan is also a capable person, but he couldn't fight with us before, and he was worried, and the handsome man came over to give him a reassuring injection, I believe that the table will be much better later." After separating from Tan Yanmin, Sun Liechen and Qin Yu said as they walked.

"I hope so." Qin Yu shrugged, he had already given the opportunity, if Tan Yanmin couldn't be more diligent in the future, there were also alternative candidates in Beijing, "This time I came here mainly for the matter of the Luyu Military Region, Hunan Province, Shaanxi, Zhili, Shanxi, Hubei, each have a brigade merged into the Luyu Military Region." It's all a miscellaneous card, and when the time comes, your task is a bit heavy, not only to train the army, but also to guard the Japanese army in Shandong, and to be responsible for suppressing Anhui, Jiangsu, and Songhu in the south. Qin Yu said.

"Marshal, this task is too much, I only have an old man from Feng, and a fifteenth division that can only be called a new army." Sun Liechen complained bitterly.

"Cao Kun is now relenting, and has transferred two brigades and one division, and Zhili threatens to surrender, and I will draw another division from Zhili to you at that time. Although there was a temporary reconciliation with the Japanese this time, there are still a lot of filthy feelings with the Japanese, and they should not be taken lightly. Qin Yu thought for a moment and said.

"Humble and provincial." Sun Liechen nodded. (To be continued......)
