Yuan Shikai said: "Mr. Sadaoyi, rest assured, I will try my best to maintain the same attitude with you on various issues in international affairs and Asia. I'm just wondering if if it would have any effect on Mr. Sadaoyi's layout if I sent troops now? ”

Sa Daoyi immediately said: "No! It's a little early to send troops, and it's better to wait a little longer. ”

Lao Yuan's face immediately hesitated, after all, the situation will change, and no one is sure what it will look like in a day, let alone for a while.

Sa Daoyi obviously knew his worries, and smiled slightly: "Old friend, I'm here for your good." You know, the Japanese are not willing to see Sun Wen end up like this, and the Americans are too, they are trying to give Sun Wen a little support, and they are trying to convince us of the British government. ”

The expression on Lao Yuan's face immediately changed.

Sa Daoyi continued: "The Japanese are okay to say that their current economic situation has become very bad because of the successive defeats in the war in the Northeast, and even this time they have to rely on us to support them in sending troops to the Northeast, so even if they want to help Sun Wen, they can't do it." It's just that the Americans have the intention of giving Sun Wen a loan. Old friend, do you think Sun Wen would give up if there was the support of the Americans? ”

Yuan Shikai smiled bitterly, Sun Wen would not give up, he put the gun against his head, as long as he didn't pull the trigger, he would not admit defeat, this is Sun Wen. If the Americans provide a little support to Sun Wen, although it will not make Sun Wen turn around, it will also make himself troublesome.

Sa Daoyi smiled at him: "On the issue of China, we hope that more countries will stand on the same front with us, which will not only help us solve the problem of Yang fighting ghosts, but will also be very beneficial to the international environment you will find yourself in in the future." So I think we should make appropriate compromises with the Americans. ”

Lao Yuan took a deep breath: "What kind of compromise?" ”

Sa Daoyi's expression was a little playful, and he did not directly answer Yuan Shikai's question, but made a request: "Old friend, our coalition forces are ready, and now Major General Hamilton is coordinating the unification between the Japanese army and the Russian army. Before we start a war in the Northeast, I hope you will be patient. ”

The beard at the corner of Yuan Shikai's lips twitched, and his heart was very dissatisfied, as a seasoned politician, he immediately understood that the British sacrificed his interests in order to achieve their own goals. The so-called negotiations between the Americans and Sun Wen are definitely an excuse to deceive themselves, and maybe the British also want to make some kind of deal with Sun Wen.

Lao Yuan didn't want to ask too carefully, politics is like this, if you are not strong, you have to make compromises, and that kind of fighting spirit without flinching is only possessed by the ignorant and fearless guy Yang Dagui.

"Well, I'll make a statement when I get back. Urge Sun Wen to resolve the military rebellion in the south as soon as possible, and as for military actions, I will wait for your footsteps. Mr. Sadaoyi, do you think this is okay? ”

Sa Daoyi naturally has nothing to say: "Xiexie, your support! Old friend, trust me, I won't keep you waiting. The Japanese Third Army had long since arrived in Korea, and their Second Army was also preparing to land in Dalian. The Russian troops in Heilongjiang were already ready, and as soon as our coalition forces departed, the Japanese would immediately launch a landing operation. ”

Yuan Shikai nodded. Sa Daoyi continued at this time: "Can you send another announcement?" Is it to send a notice to show your support for us before we act? ”

The British ultimately hoped that they would nominally take the lead for them. Yuan Shikai knew that if he issued this notice, then the foreign adults would be more justified in sending troops, and Yang Xiaolin would face greater trouble in the northeast, when the battle was at its most brutal. Some people's betrayal will not require too much psychological burden, after all, as long as Lao Yuan says a word, the battle will be carried out in the name of the Beiyang Army and the Volunteer Army, and they can get rid of the hat of traitor when the time comes.

An announcement was simple for Yuan Shikai. But he was reluctant to do so. Lao Yuan also has a bottom line, he really admires the guy Yang Fighting Ghosts, although he doesn't dare or want to give Yang Xiaolin any help. But when the foreigners were fighting in the Northeast, as long as he didn't provoke himself, Yuan Shikai was really unwilling to aim his gun at him.

So he smiled and said, "I have to think about this issue again, Mr. Sadaoyi should know my current difficulties." If I declare that the Beiyang Army is fighting against the Volunteers, that beast will definitely come to fight me at all costs, and I really won't be able to stop him at that time! Wait. ”

Sa Daoyi naturally understood this kind of shirk, and he didn't force Yuan Shikai: "Okay, I won't embarrass you." ”

Yuan Shikai suddenly glanced at him at this time: "Mr. Sa Daoyi, do you mean that you are asking me to wait, are you also in contact with Sun Wen?" Did he make such a request of him? ”

Sa Daoyi hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Yes, we hope that when we launch an operation in the Northeast, you and Sun Wen can show their support for us." I can tell you that Sun Wen has not yet given us an answer, and the least we have to ask is that Sun Wen, like you, can not intervene in this war. ”

Lao Yuan understood.

Xiangshan, located in the western suburbs of Haiding, Beijing, the scenery is very charming, since 800 years ago, those royal families like to build some gardens in this place for the royal family and nobles to play and enjoy. Over the centuries, it can be said to be a very charming scenic spot.

Especially in the Qing Dynasty, those guys in the Manchu Qing Dynasty did not hesitate to build a large number of buildings, and built here similar to the royal courtyard, and the twenty-eight scenes of the famous capital are said to be Xiangshan.

It's a pity that the torch of the Eight-Nation Coalition has burned hundreds of years of construction, and those cultural landscapes that the Chinese nation is proud of are smashed and robbed, and when Commander Yang's footsteps stepped into Xiangshan, although the scenery is very good, the broken bricks and tiles are all telling the sorrow of a nation.

Yang Xiaolin saw a big stone lion, half of which was blown up, leaving only the upper body on the ground, which looked like a bear lion was buried under the mound, holding its head high and trying to climb out. He walked up to the stone lion and crouched down for a moment, but did not speak.

Lei Zhenchun and a team of Beiyang Army soldiers followed him, and their task was to ensure Yang Xiaolin's safety while Yang Xiaolin was playing.

Commander Yang looked at the ground for a long time, and he felt that this stone lion was a bit like the Chinese nation in this era, a bit like himself. The stone lion would never be able to stand up, even if his posture seemed to be struggling, but he had no strength in his body. What about the Chinese nation? Will she be able to stand up on her own? Can you become a lion who dominates the East again?

Lei Zhenchun really didn't understand what was so beautiful about this half of the lion, so he came over after a while and said: "Commander, there is no scenery in this area, walking up is Xiangshan Temple, that place is better." ”

Yang Xiaolin stood up from the ground, and he glanced at Lei Zhenchun: "Zhenchun, it's really hard for you to accompany me every day these days." ”

Lei Zhenchun smiled: "What did the commander say?" This is a matter of earthquake spring. ”

Yang Xiaolin raised his head and glanced at the mountain, and faintly saw that there was a temple, and there were pilgrims constantly coming and going, and the incense was still good.

"What's in the temple?"

Lei Zhenchun introduced: "The Xiangshan Temple is a national temple before the Qing Dynasty, and most of the scenery in the temple has been restored, and there is a monk called the best one, and the fortune teller is particularly accurate. ”

Yang Xiaolin smiled: "Okay, then I'll also count a hexagram." ”

He really doesn't believe in fortune telling, he didn't believe it before, and he doesn't believe it now. But his task is to have fun, to do the math, to listen to himself, that's the thing.

The footsteps of the group walked towards Xiangshan Temple, on the way Lei Zhenchun looked at Yang Xiaolin's expression of appreciating the scenery, he could no longer control the curiosity in his heart, waved his hand to let the soldiers behind him stay away a little, and then he came to Yang Xiaolin: "Commander, there is a question I have never understood, can I ask you for advice?" ”

Yang Xiaolin nodded: "Cheng, you ask." ”

Lei Zhenchun thought about the wording for a while, and then said, "Don't be angry if I ask the wrong question!" I just don't understand, you said that in the current situation, I can see that there is no point in negotiations, and I know that the British are about to beat you, how can you still have the heart to play in the mountains and rivers? ”

Yang Xiaolin turned his head to look at him, and Lei Zhenchun waved his hand busily: "If it's inconvenient for you to say, you can not answer me, I definitely don't mean that I'm tired of accompanying you!" ”

Commander Yang has the heart to travel in the mountains and rivers? Lei Zhenchun saw this. In fact, in his heart, he has long wanted to go back, this thought he used to think about once a day, and now he thinks about it many times a day! But come to think of it, he knew he had to come out now as if he wasn't in a hurry! I took out a pair of jiashi that I wanted to visit all the places of interest, and even if I was in a hurry, I wanted to have a lot of fun.

No matter what you do, the more critical the moment, the more you have to be able to hold on! Your panic can only let your opponent know that you are in a hurry. On the contrary, if you don't look in a hurry, your opponent's heart will definitely be up and down, and you may be able to find an opportunity.

It can be seen from Lei Zhenchun asking himself, at least now Lao Yuan's heart is not very comfortable with himself.

Yang Xiaolin's face slowly bloomed, and he hugged Lei Zhenchun's shoulders very affectionately: "Zhenchun, my Jihua really can't tell you." But you have to ask weishenme if you are not in a hurry, I can send you a word. ”

Lei Zhenchun nodded: "You say." ”

"Sometimes someone turns a gun on you, don't be afraid. Even if the other party has already pulled the trigger, you have to calm down, let the bullet fly for a while, maybe something unexpected will happen. ”

Lei Zhenchun was stunned: "Let the bullets fly for a while?" ”

Yang Xiaolin smiled and nodded.

Lei Zhenchun knew that the current situation was that the British had pulled the trigger, and at this time, when he thought about it, Yang Xiaolin would either quickly dodge or immediately return fire. But what does Commander Yang mean by letting the bullets fired at him fly for a while?

Lei Zhenchun couldn't figure it out.

Yang Xiaolin didn't explain anything, will there be something that he didn't think of? Commander Yang really couldn't say this clearly. (To be continued......)
