Chapter 1 Apology

The battle continued, and Commander Yang had already entered the city of Beijing with the advance division.

Lao Yuan's entry ceremony was very thoughtful, and some of the Beiyang Army soldiers who were captured by the Russians were also rescued after Ackberil fled in embarrassment, and this time Yuan Shikai let these people walk in the front, which made Commander Yang very much in favor of it, and also moved those Beiyang troops very much.

More than 20,000 people came from various units in Beiyang, some of them were still there, and some of them could not be found at all. Not every one of these living people may be so brave, but they are all heroes now, and when they stepped into the city of Beijing, the common people gave them the warmest welcome, and many soldiers shed tears and felt a lot of emotion in their hearts.

Then there was the advance independent division in the northeast. Yuan Shikai finally remained silent about Yang Xiaolin's incorporation of the Beiyang Army, and he didn't say anything about Feng Yuxiang also wearing the uniform of the Volunteer Army, as if there was no such thing.

It should be said that when Yuan Shikai made a temptation, he thought about Yang Da's various reactions, and it was not surprising for this guy who was desperate with people at every turn to make such a move.

When the volunteers entered the city, the applause of the people was even more enthusiastic, they had heard about Commander Yang's achievements in the northeast before, and they had always wanted to know how strong this powerful army was!

I don't know if I don't see this, and I really compare the Beiyang Army with a glance.

Yang Xiaolin also made a full faΓ§ade for the advance division, the military uniforms were basically changed before entering the city, and the carrying equipment on his body made the volunteers look neatly dressed, the grenade and bullet bag on the chest were placed in the same position, and the steel helmet on the head was something that had never been seen in the soldiers of the Beiyang Army.

When the neat footsteps entered the city of Beijing, Zeng Xiaoliang, who was already the commander of the first battalion of the advance independent division, walked in the front, he suddenly leveled the submachine gun on his body, and shouted: "Salute!" ”

The vanguard immediately gave a neat military salute, and then shouted in unison: "Salute the fathers and villagers in Beijing!" ”

There was a commotion in the crowd! The common people couldn't react a little. It's true! This generation of Chinese has grown up under oppression, including the Beiyang Army soldiers who walked in front of them, and they have not been bullied before. Suddenly, an army saluted them. They don't know what they have to do!

Before the people could react, the vanguard had already walked over, and then the team behind did the same!

Yuan Shikai watched from the sidelines, he didn't feel good in his heart! Yang beats the ghost This is to win the hearts of the people, as soon as he enters the door, he will steal the hearts of the people with himself! Originally, the image of Lao Yuan in the minds of the people during this period of time has been very high, and the impression of the Beiyang Army has completely changed, these are the capital of Yuan Shikai's future negotiations, and the capital he exchanged for the lives of more than 300,000 soldiers.

Lao Yuan is sure that Yang's action of fighting ghosts into the city is not to mention completely catching up with himself. At least you can get a lot of extra points! It seems that this guy's jackal ambitions will not be at his mercy, and the composition of the government and army in the future may not be so satisfactory.

Behind the Volunteers was a revolutionary army that had already been beaten and only had more than 4,000 men left. Although Huang Xing tried his best to maintain his image, he had just escaped death, and the panic of these revolutionary troops still did not dissipate. Coupled with Lao Yuan's arrangement behind the volunteers, the whole team looked even more lazy.

In the past, Huang Xing didn't feel that his troops were inferior, but when they walked together, he immediately saw it. If it is the regular troops of the Volunteer Army in front, they are placed in the northeast, which is the grade of the second-line militia. Not counting the militia on the front line. The front-line militia of the Volunteers are more elite and good at fighting than them.

Huang Daxia didn't say anything, just led the team to follow behind, although the people also gave them applause, but Huang Xing really blushed a little. This time the battle hit him too hard. Originally, when he was in Nanjing, Huang Xing also discussed with Sun Wen. Can we find a better position when the army is reorganized?

It's not that Huang Xing cares about the position, it's just that it means that the revolutionary army is the number one. Now he doesn't want to think about it, Lao Maozi used cannonballs to make him understand that he might not be able to fight, not to mention that Sun Wen is not willing to fight. Even if the fight came, Huang Daxia was embarrassed to sit down.

When the Beiyang Army launched a counteroffensive, Gulegrevich didn't care about Huang Xing and retreated with his team. But it was blocked by the Beiyang Army, and now it is surrounded in Gu'an. Huang Daxia's life was really recovered, and he could even feel that the Russians would die if they attacked him again.

After escaping death, he also contacted Sun Wen, and Chen Jiongming sent a telegram to ask him three questions: did he send a small force to go first when he marched first, did he reconnoiter the enemy situation on the opposite side when he crossed the river second, and the most important one was, did he suddenly encounter the Russians in his plan, and how would he deal with it?

There are none of these three, and he doesn't have one! He didn't give Chen Jiongming an answer, and Chen Jiongming didn't ask again. Huang Xing told Sun Wen that he was really sorry for everyone now, and originally thought that he would come to support Beijing to at least make the south slightly more advantageous in future negotiations, but he didn't expect to be more passive now.

He wanted to take the blame and resign, but Sun Wen did not agree. Sun Wen will be able to go to Beijing in a week, and before they come, Huang Xing must hold on to the situation here. It's easy to say, but Huang Xing really doesn't know what to support.

In the current situation, we can only take one step at a time.

Behind these revolutionary armies were a large number of prisoners captured by the Beiyang Army this time. Akberil left in too haste, and after he left, he really dealt a fatal blow to this army, and the Beiyang Army pursued after him, capturing more than 3,000 old hairs.

These people will not be greeted with flowers and applause. If it weren't for the desperate interception of two teams of Beiyang soldiers next to them, it is estimated that these people would have been beaten to death on the street.

Lao Yuan changed the prison of the former Qing Dynasty Zongren Mansion into a prison, which was dedicated to these people, and the place was very large, with thousands of square meters, but Yuan Shikai believed that it would not take a few days to close it full, and it was not even enough.

After the ceremony of entering the city, the group immediately came to Lao Yuan's official residence, several foreign ministers who had established diplomatic relations with New China were already waiting here, and Mu Mo was the first to greet him: "Commander Yang, I am glad that I can see you in Beijing again." ”

The flashing lights around him kept flashing, and Yang Xiaolin's hand stretched out to Mu Mo: "Minister Mu Mo, do you remember what I told you at the beginning?" I said I would surprise you. ”

Mu Mo smiled and nodded: "Indeed, I was very pleasantly surprised. Now the Chinese side has at least gotten rid of passivity. Although the British have caused you some trouble, I have every reason to believe that China will be able to win this war under the command of President Yuan and Commander Yang. ”

The reporters quickly memorized all these words. The Chinese journalists were particularly excited, and Mumer's statement could be understood from a certain level as the German government's trust in China and also conveyed the friendship of the German side.

Yang Xiaolin's eyes looked at Lambert who was standing next to Mu Mo at this time, he really hadn't met this Austro-Hungarian minister, but he knew who this person was right away. Commander Yang took the initiative to take a step in front of Lambell: "You are the Minister of Austria-Hungary Lambell, right?" ”

Lambert nodded, and at the same time politely held out his hand, "Yes." Commander Yang, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

Yang Xiaolin didn't shake hands with him, and suddenly took off his hat in front of many cameras. He bowed deeply in the same way that Westerners apologize: "Please allow me to express to you my apologies to your country, and I am really sorry for what happened in the first place." ”

The expression on Lambell's face suddenly changed, but Mu Mo on the side smiled slightly. Yang Xiaolin said that he would personally apologize to Austria-Hungary when he came to Beijing, but Lambert did not expect Yang to bow to himself in front of so many reporters.

Even though Lambell has been honing his skills in diplomacy for many years, he doesn't know what to say at this time! A few years ago, the Austro-Hungarian side also asked Yang to apologize in the newspaper, and now people are bowing and apologizing to you in front of so many reporters, which is really enough face.

Yang Xiaolin continued: "Everything I did back then has caused great losses to your country. It also brought boundless pain to Minister Qi Han's family. I hope that the Minister will convey my attitude to your country, and I do not ask for forgiveness, but I hope that you will give me a chance to do something to make amends for my mistakes in the relations between our two countries. It also allows me to express my guilt towards Minister Qi Han's family. ”

Lambell was satisfied. Not to mention that there is Germany watching, even without Germany, there is nothing that cannot be put down now. Qi Han is dead, so he won't really break off diplomatic relations with China for the sake of his death, right? That was not in the interests of Austria-Hungary. If the Russians deploy a large number of troops in Europe, they will be the first to be suppressed!

Under the flash of reporters, Lambert also bowed to Yang Xiaolin: "Please rest assured, Commander Yang, I will convey your meaning to our country." What happened at the beginning was just an unpleasant episode. Commander Yang's attitude is very sincere, and he believes that the relations between our two countries will not be affected in any way because of this incident, and I am willing to make efforts to develop friendship with China. ”

After Lambell finished speaking, there was a round of applause around him, and he took out the check that Yang Ducai gave him yesterday morning from his pocket: "Commander Yang, this is the check I received yesterday, I will definitely return it to you." We in the Austro-Hungarian Empire are peace-loving countries, and we are equally sympathetic to the Chinese Government and its citizens in their pursuit of peace. You are in the midst of a great war, and you are righteous in this war!

Believe me, although we are tens of thousands of kilometers away, the people of Austria-Hungary support you! Our most venerable Emperor, His Majesty, has given clear instructions that we will not take another copper plate from China, regardless of any form of reparation! Not only that, but we will also return the indemnity paid by the Manchu Qing government during the Gengzi period, which is our Austro-Hungarian Empire's support for the Chinese people! ”

Austria-Hungary was not rich, but they understood the importance of China now. The Chinese can drag the Russians, the benefits to their country will be immeasurable, money, really an unimportant thing.

Lao Yuan came over and said: "I think so, we all know Commander Yang's intention to repay the loan, and I am deeply grateful here for the support of Austria-Hungary." We will not get this money back, I mean to use this money as a fund to build several primary and secondary schools in the suburbs of Beijing, and they will be named after Minister Qi Han, so that our descendants will always remember the friendship between our two countries, and also the Minister Qi Han who sacrificed for the friendship between China and Austria-Hungary. ”

Mu Mo immediately said: "Good! I very much agree with President Yuan's proposal. ”

The politicians used their usual style to finally make a bloody case have a happy ending, and Minister Qi Han should be blind to it. (To be continued......)
