Lei Zhenchun used to be Yuan Shikai's housekeeper, but now he is more like the role of the office director, responsible for arranging the itinerary for Lao Yuan. He is familiar with this work, and he has never made any mistakes, so Lao Yuan will not say more after explaining, and I believe that he can arrange it properly.

"Is there a call back in the Northeast?"

Lei Zhenchun hurriedly took out a telegram: "Yes, Commander Yang said that he will take a large-scale military operation in the near future, please be sure to hold out in Beijing for a month." ”

Lao Yuan's eyes lit up for a moment, and then he sighed: "Alas! This guy is also interesting enough, and he must have reluctantly taken action in the near future. Send the telegram to Zhiquan and ask them to cooperate with Tohoku at that time. Oh yes, yesterday the 15th Mixed Association that Feng Yuxiang said that where they and Wang Jinhan's volunteers were? ”

"Miyun north. They gathered together a number of broken up teams, and now there were more than 2,000 people. ”

A smile appeared at the corner of Lao Yuan's mouth: "Well, find a way to get in touch with them, pass on my order to the past, reorganize their troops into the new army of the fifteenth town of Beiyang, and appoint Wang Jinhan as the commander." ”

Lei Zhenchun's face changed when he heard this, Wang Jinhan was the commander of the 12th Division of the Volunteer Army! He knew very well what Lao Yuan's order meant, and Lei Zhenchun felt that it was really inappropriate to give such an order at this time.

"Think, President, this order may cause resentment in the Northeast. Not so good at the moment. ”

Lao Yuan smiled, of course he will have a reaction in the Northeast, the reason why he chose that unit is because there are many Beiyang Army in it, and there are relatively few volunteers, even if he wants to come to Yang to fight ghosts, even if he opposes it, it will not be too radical, just see what reaction that guy makes, and test the bottom line of the Northeast!

Yuan Shikai likes to do this kind of thing, and he does it in a set, and he has another move at the same time as appointing Wang Jinhan.

"I'll go to Dongjiaomin Lane in a while. You send me to a newspaper and here's a letter for you to help me publish. ”

Lei Zhenchun took out two pieces of paper from his pocket, and at first glance, the notes on them were Mr. Li's handwriting, but the content was written in the tone of Miss Yuan Er, a letter to Commander Yang! told Yang Xiaolin to take care of his body while defending the country, and the tenderness and righteousness that flowed out between the lines were simply touching!

Lei Zhenchun believes that as soon as this letter is published, it will inevitably cause a sensation in the whole of China! And Mr. Li's writing is really first-class, and it will be passed down through the ages in the future. This letter was definitely not written by Yuan Zhongzhen, and the second lady knows it or not. If her personality could write such tenderness like water, the sun would come out of the west.

Lao Yuan is using this way to remind everyone to pay attention, remind Yang to fight ghosts, and tell him not to forget that he is his father-in-law. The first thing to do is to tell the volunteers, Commander Yang and I are a family, and it is okay for me to adopt Wang Jinhan, even if you feel dissatisfied, don't make too much trouble. The second is to tell the people of the whole country that Commander Yang is my son-in-law. Don't forget. So, who has the final say in this world in the future, you should know in your hearts, and if you haven't stood in line, come here now.

If Lao Yuan asked Yang Xiaolin and Yuan Zhongzhen to get engaged at the beginning, just to save face. So now he really regards this as a bargaining chip, this chip seems to be quite heavy, and Lao Yuan is quite satisfied.

As for what Yuan Zhongzhen thought in his heart, Yuan Shikai didn't think about it. After explaining the matter, his mind was all on business. Today he is going to negotiate with the Americans, and the Qing Dynasty mortgaged the salt tax and customs duties in the hands of the Americans, and these two things must be recovered. As the first president of New China, how could he let other countries take charge of his own finances?

But to tell the truth, in the past few years that the Americans have helped China manage taxes, the tax revenue has been much more than before, and the reason for this Yuan Shikai also knows, so he doesn't want the Americans to let go all of a sudden.

But Americans are not willing to let go, let alone teach you as an apprentice. Yuan Shikai knew that he might have to work hard to achieve his goal, first of all, he had to work hard at the negotiating table to find a suitable plan that the Americans could accept, give them some compensation, and then get the tax back.

The second effort is on the battlefield, just like Commander Yang said, if Beiyang can't defeat the Russians and Beijing is beaten down, there will be no negotiations. The Russians' troops had already been mobilized, and Lao Yuan knew that Beiyang would not be able to stop them at all when the Russian follow-up troops arrived. Fortunately, this problem is no longer a problem on his Beiyang side, but a matter for the whole of China.

Nanking.

The first contingent of 20,000 people stood in front of the small building that was no longer the temporary presidential palace, and the faces of the soldiers were solemn.

Mr. Sun Wen stood on the high platform in front of the small building and looked at this group of neatly armed soldiers, and his emotions were also a little excited. Many of these soldiers used to come to make trouble for military salaries, and the purpose of their visit to Nanjing was to make trouble.

But when he said that he would organize a team to support Beijing, no one immediately made any more trouble. Sun Wenwen thought that he would need to raise at least 200,000 yuan in materials and military salaries for this trip to the north, and he originally thought that it would be very difficult to raise enough 20,000 men, because when he called on these people not to care about their personal interests for the sake of the revolution, these people did not listen to him at all.

But he really didn't expect that as soon as the recruitment point was put out, the number of applicants had already reached 50,000 an hour later! Not only these soldiers, but also many young people in Nanjing also wrote their names.

They didn't say anything to themselves about military salaries, they carried the dry rations sent to them by the common people in their arms, and carried their old-fashioned rifles on their backs, and the most common thing they asked was: "When will you leave?" ”

Huang Xing was standing by Sun Wen's side at this time, and he was very excited about going to Beijing with his troops going north for the first time. Even though Commander Yang and Yuan Shikai are not optimistic about him, Huang Daxia's self-feeling is still quite good! Because he feels that these people are not afraid of death, in Huang Daxia's view, there is only one condition for going to the battlefield, that is, not afraid of death.

"Yixian, all the preparations for departure are ready, you can say a few words to everyone."

Sun Wen nodded, his eyes looked at the soldiers below and the crowd of farewells: "Compatriots! Soldiers! China has endured many humiliations under the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty for 50 years, and now a new situation has begun. The Russians are coming aggressively! At the critical moment of life and death for the nation, it is not our warlike race, but it is really unbearable helplessness! Provocation is inevitable, the war dead are honored, the stealing of the living is humiliated, one person is light, the country is heavy! Our generation bears the brunt! ”

"Go out today, if you win, triumphantly report the good news to the descendants of the people! If defeated, our generation will also have the face to see our ancestors under the spring! Soldiers and go first. Yu Dang followed! ”

There was applause from the audience, and Huang Xing walked to the front of the team first and shouted: "Lizheng!" ”

The 20,000 soldiers stood up straight, and the representative of the squire next to him gave him a big flag, on which were written eight big characters: "Jiangdong athletes, kill the enemy and defend the country."

Huang Xing walked over and took the flag and handed it to the standard-bearer of the revolutionary army to resist, and then gave the order to set off.

Sun Wen walked up to Huang Xing at this time, and he suddenly had a very uneasy mood at this moment, feeling that maybe he should really listen to Yang Xiaolin. It might be better to change someone to lead the team to Beijing. But this thought is just a flash, now the replacement will definitely not work, not to mention the impact on the morale of the army, at least Huang Xing will never agree.

He patted Huang Xing on the shoulder: "Take care." ”

Huang Xing smiled: "Yixian." You should also be careful in everything in Nanjing, organize the troops, and the army in Guangzhou can also be transferred. If we want to fight this battle, we will fight beautifully, and we can't let Yuan Shikai underestimate us. ”

Sun Wen nodded: "Yes." It's just that there is a lack of people to lead the army in Guangzhou, do you have the right person in mind? Can recommend it to me now. ”

Huang Xing didn't think much about it: "Let Chen Jiongming come, he can do it." ”

"Jiongming?"

Sun Wen hesitated. Chen Jiongming is a person who has made mistakes, and he refuses to admit his mistakes until now, and Sun Wen is very distressed about him. After returning from Beijing, Mr. Sun also investigated whether Chen Jiongming's murder was out of selfishness, and Wang Heshun did something excessive. He originally wanted Chen Jiongming to admit his mistake and forget it, but Governor Chen just didn't admit it.

Chen Jiongming is very single, you can all think that I am wrong, but I think I am wrong, so even if what you say is crazy, let him admit his mistake but can't do it.

I haven't understood this matter yet, Sun Wen's plan is to wait for Song Jiaoren's new party to be established, send Chen Jiongming to Song Jiaoren, and then join the new party himself, this alliance will be thrown away, who is willing to call for Wang Heshun to go to the new party for grievances, and Mr. Sun will not pay attention to him at that time.

As a result, now that the war is fought, the matter of building the party must be postponed, and he really does not have the talent to lead the army. After thinking for a while, he nodded and said to Huang Xing: "Okay, I'll think about it." ”

Huang Xing gave him a military salute: "I, go first." ”

Mr. Sun Wen squeezed out a smile on his face and bid farewell to his old partner. When Huang Xing's footsteps had just reached the intersection, another young man in the crowd suddenly shouted: "General Huang! I want to join the army, can you take me with you to Beijing? ”

Huang Xing turned his head to see that He Haiming was already standing on the side of the road with a package on his back, and he was still holding a bird rod in his hand, and shook it at Huang Xing: "My own gun is ready!" ”

Huang Xing grinned and walked a few steps from the team to He Haiming's side: "Boy, is Lao Tzu Wu Sangui?" ”

He Haiming shook his head very embarrassedly, and smiled embarrassedly: "General, take me with you, I will shoot!" ”

Huang Daxia stretched out his hand and took his bird over, but with a slight force of both hands, the barrel of the gun was immediately bent. The person next to him, who was very good, shouted, "Good! The general has a lot of strength! ”

Huang Xing threw the gun that had been damaged by him at He Haiming's feet: "This is not a gun, and you are not a soldier!" Write your book well, Lao Tzu will be there when it's time to fight. Remember, don't scold me in the book in the future. ”

Huang Xing went to the battlefield in Beijing like this, and he was really full of confidence when he stepped out of Nanjing City. Huang Daxia really didn't have much research on fighting, just read a few books. He thinks that his tactics should be passable, as for the last time he was beaten by Feng Guozhang in Wuchang, the main reason is because the artillery fire of the Beiyang Army is too fierce!

That Feng Guozhang is simply a coward, so he bombarded himself with a cannon! If he dared to come up and fight with him, he would definitely beat him.

Huang Daxia didn't think about it at all, the Russians' artillery fire was actually more ferocious than the Beiyang Army. (To be continued......)
