Long Qian's greatest concern was naturally the formation of the six towns of the New Army. The tentacles of the intelligence organization he built single-handedly could not enter the core decision-making level of the imperial court, and he could only inquire about some peripheral news, such as Rong Lu's death of illness, such as the preparation of the Ministry of Commerce.

Long Qian once wanted to take the opportunity to mourn for Ronglu to go to Beijing and find a chance to meet Cixi, of course, Yiqian must have visited there. But when he went to Beijing, he had to have an order from the military department, otherwise it would be a violation of discipline. At that time, at the critical moment of flood fighting, the trip was not made in the end. It's just that he sent someone to Jingshi to deliver a lot of sacrifices. Since Gengzi got acquainted with Rong Lu in the year of Gengzi, on the whole, this gloomy and wise favorite minister has been quite good to himself. Rong Lu's character, Long Qian can't say it clearly, this person is not greedy for money, compared to his colleagues, Rong Lu is incorruptible. Rong Lu doesn't seem to be very power-loving, and he has a feeling of letting go. Probably it was this that Cixi appreciated. Now that Rong Lu is dead, I'm afraid that no one in the court can control Yuan Shikai anymore, relying on Yixuan? Don't even think about it.

The imperial court's big and generalized edict can be regarded as an affirmation of the Mengshan army's flood fighting. It means that the highest authorities are aware of what he has done. Later, Yixuan wrote a private letter, saying that Lafayette was very satisfied with the right wing of the Wasion Army, but did not disclose that the imperial court was about to start the reorganization of the new army.

When did this old thing's mouth get so tight? Speaking of which, the number one leader of the Central Military Training Office in charge of this reorganization is none other than Yixuan himself. In the past two years, the gold, silver and jewelry given to Yixuan alone are almost 100,000 taels, right? The Beijing station responsible for contacting Yixuan is dissatisfied.

Long Qian took out Yixiao's private message and read it again, and the appearance of the emaciated white-bearded old man appeared in his heart. No one in the Manchu Qing Dynasty used such a greedy person...... However, it is not a bad thing for yourself. A wicked smile appeared on Long Qian's face, and speaking of which, the gold and silver given to Yi Qian were just returned in their original form. Just like the story of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Jin Kingdom, the monarch of the Yu State coveted the famous horses and jewels offered by the Jin State, and originally intended to borrow the Tao to the Jin army to attack the neighboring State of Qiu, but did not listen to the advice of the Liangchen Palace, and finally perished. And Jin Jun finally retrieved the famous horse jewelry, sighing. The horse is still the same horse. It's just a few years older.

The gold and silver given to Yili now are only temporarily stored elsewhere. However, how many people in the world can understand this truth?

This year's floods have passed, and the troops are still scattered on both sides of the river and have not yet withdrawn. Zhou Fu asked the right flank of the Weisheng Army to be stationed for a while longer. Long Qian also agreed.

Long Qian set up his headquarters in the house of a large landowner surnamed Wang in Tianzhen, Qingcheng. As the flood situation eased, Long Qian did not inspect the embankment every day like some time ago. He arranged for the Intelligence Department to conduct a detailed social survey of Wuding Mansion and made an outline. Let Jiang Yun break down the topic, and show him a paragraph when he completes it. When there is nothing to do, I also chat with the hospitable landlord Mr. Wang Yude about the customs of Qingcheng County. Life is pleasant.

On July 14, Long Qian was chatting with Wang Yude in the courtyard when the guard came in to report that Wang Zhifeng had something to see.

Long Qian nodded and let Wang Zhifeng in. Wang Zhifeng is one of the first three section chiefs appointed by the Intelligence Department to be responsible for internal espionage prevention.

Wang Zhifeng, who was dressed in civilian clothes, walked in quickly, "Commander, I caught a spy." We have been paying attention to this person for a long time, and I noticed him in Lunan, but I didn't expect to follow us all the way to Qingcheng, and he said that he wanted to see you. ”

"See me? Where did he come from? Long Qian's first thought was that it was sent by the imperial court.

Wang Zhifeng seemed to read Long Qian's thoughts, "This person's name is Fang Shengyuan. Probably an overseas revolutionary party. But by no means a person from the imperial court. We didn't do anything rough with him......"

"Revolutionary party?" Long Qian became interested, "Then, please invite him to come." Let me see what is sacred. ”

"General," Wang Yude said in a low voice, "I have heard for a long time that overseas revolutionary parties are making trouble, so it's best not to touch ......them."

"Ha Luha, the revolutionary party is not a blue-faced fang, with three heads and six arms. Why not? Long Qian looked at Wang Yude, "Mr. Pei Jin (Wang Yude) It's better to avoid it." ”

"The old man doesn't care. The general has a great future, don't be entangled by the imperial history of the DPRK and China because of trivial matters......"

"Don't worry, no one will know. In fact, it doesn't matter if you know it......" Long Qian was a little curious.

Following Wang Zhifeng walked in was a young man in a white suit, about the same age as Long Qian, much more handsome than Long Qian, medium height, wearing a black bow tie, brown leather shoes under his feet, and a white top hat with black trim in his left hand - no braids, and a cane in his right hand - it should be called a civilized stick...... This dress, not to mention in Tianzhen, is also trendy enough to be put on Tianjin Wei.

When Long Qian saw the person for the first time, he decided that this person must have returned from overseas.

"Mr. Fang, right? I am Long Qian. I don't know what to say? ”

"Don't dare, Fang Sheng can see the general from afar, it's really a blessing for three lives. I wonder if the general can give Fang a chance? As soon as this person met, he had to talk to each other alone.

Long Qian glanced at Wang Zhifeng, "It's okay, please come here." ”

Long Qian's personal guard stared sternly. Wang Zhifeng made a gesture to the guard, meaning that it had been checked and there was no weapon. The guard nodded, and watched Long Qian turn around and enter his bedroom and study. Wang Zhifeng followed the guests in.

"Please be seated, Mr. Fang. The peak, you go busy with yours. Long Qian sent Wang Zhifeng away. Only Long Qian and this uninvited guest were left in the room.

"General Xie Lu, General Xie. Let me start with myself. Fang Shengyuan put his civilization stick aside, still holding a top hat in his hand, "Contemptible Fang Shengyuan, a native of Xinghua Mansion, Fujian, once studied in Japan. After returning from Japan this spring, he traveled from south to north, and stayed in Lunan for two months, and the army went north, and Fang followed him north, first to Beijing, and then to Wuding...... Unexpectedly, there were capable people under the general, and they had already targeted Fang. Ha Lu Ha ......"

The guard brought tea and looked at the guests.

"Please use tea." Long Qian's face was expressionless, "I don't know what Mr. Fang has to say?" ”

Fang Shengyuan put the teacup on the table, bowed slightly, and his eyes sharpened, "The world is swaying, and the chaos is coming." Fang Mou didn't want to work all his life, thinking about seeking a master, and the fly attached to the tail. I won't bury the ...... of this life."

It turned out to be a first-class figure in the Zongheng family, Long Qian was expressionless, picked up the teacup, and blew open the two tea leaves floating on the water......

"Originally, I always thought that the savior who calmed the world and restored my Han family's rivers and mountains had not yet been born, but I didn't expect to return to China and walk down, and it was in front of me."

Long Qian was still expressionless, and he put the teacup on the table. The act just now can also be regarded as serving tea and sending off guests, ending this boring conversation. But the other party turned a blind eye. Continuing his lobbying.

"When Fang was in Japan, he met Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao, who were aimed at protecting the emperor. The Liang clan is still sharp, but the Kang clan has decayed, and he always thinks that he will return the power to the present. Naturally, all is well. When it comes to domestic swings. Global Rivalry. There is no solution. It seems that as long as we return to the government, all problems can be solved. Isn't it ridiculous! ”

This sentence obviously moved Long Qian, and his eyes were fixed on Fang Shengyuan. "Kang Liang is not enough, even if he uses the domestic royalist power to make a name for himself, it is no longer a grand purpose. It is Sun Wen's faction, which is quite encouraging, and as expected, in the next few years, it will surely surge and stir the world! ”

"Hmm, isn't Mr. Fang a party of Sun Wen?"

Fang Shengyuan smiled brightly, revealing a mouthful of neat white teeth, "Don't hide it from the general, Fang was once obsessed with revolution, and once thought that if he wanted to save China, he had to take the road of revolution." But later he became closely connected with Sun Wen's faction, and Fang was disappointed. Relying on Sun Wen and his party, they may be able to instigate chaos in the world, but they can't govern the country. ”

"Oh, why? Although Long lived in Lunan, he also heard about the overseas revolutionary party. Why did Mr. Fang make this assertion? ”

Fang Shengyuan finally waited for Long Qian to communicate with him, and his spirit was naturally shocked, "Fang Mou dared to ask the general, what do you think of the Manchu court?" ”

"Long was favored by the Queen Mother. Presumably, Mr. Fang has already inquired clearly, it is better not to talk about this......"

"The Manchu Qing Dynasty is already a dry bone in the grave, and anyone who has a little brain can see it clearly. Yes, the emperors of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were not as good as the former Ming Dynasty, and they did not lose their morality on the surface. This is also a place where the old school intellectuals in China talk about masturbation. However, since the Hongyang Rebellion, the loss of central authority, coupled with the bullying of foreign powers in the past few decades, and the continuous payment of land reparations, have long lost the hearts of the people. In the future, if there is an opportunity, it will fall apart......"

Long Qian was taken aback, if this person was not a disciple of the great Confucian king of Xiangzhong, Minyun, and this insight was completely inferred by himself, it would be amazing. After all, it can be concluded that the form of the fall of the Manchu Qing was not a simple matter.

"Stop. Mr. Fang, I would like to hear your views on Sun Wen's revolutionary party. As for the imperial court, don't talk about it. ”

"The revolutionary party will not succeed." Fang Shengyuan smiled and said, "Fang Mou traveled through the World Continent and finally understood the general trend of the World Realm. If China wants to get rid of the situation of being passively beaten, it must make a revolution, overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and implement a democratic republic. Kang Liang does not know the general trend of the world, and fantasizes about setting up a Ming monarch to save the country, which is tantamount to asking for fish from wood. Sun Wen faked the name of revolution and practiced feudalism. Because of his loyalty to the leader in the party, Fang despised it and asserted that it would not succeed. In recent years, Sun Wen instigated an armed uprising, not to mention far afar, and planned an uprising again in Guangzhou this spring, but the result was still a fiasco. Isn't it ridiculous that Sun Wen lives far away and does not have the courage to go to the front line in person, and does not have his own descendants and armed forces internally, but spends money to hire the strength of the party? If you prepare hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, you can hire a few outlaws to seize these thousands of miles, isn't it too easy for this country to come? I despise that the overthrow of the Manchu Qing and the establishment of a republic must meet two conditions! ”

"Oh, I want to hear about it!" Hearing this, Long Qian had already concluded that this Fang Sheng was far from insightful. As for the reasons for the failure of Sun Wen's uprising, he summed up, although not so comprehensive, but he told the main core. At this time, Sun Wen's larger-scale armed rebellion had not yet begun, and this man concluded that it was not a success.

"First, there is an elite army, just like the Mengshan Army established by the general, which is forbidden and unstoppable. Second, it is necessary to have an advanced political party that propagates ideas and controls public opinion. One is indispensable. Fang Shengyuan looked at Long Qian, "The general governing the army is already well-known at home and abroad, how about this party building, why don't you hand it over to Fang?" Fang has studied the general for a long time, if it is about the unified army to fight, there is no shortage of brave warriors under the general's command, if it is a civil rule, the general has no capable people. Chen Chao and others, who are valued by the general, are not Chinese, and Tang Shaoyi is there, but the Tang family is still Yuan Shikai's person in his bones, and Tang is about to leave Yizhou to go to Northeast Gao, right? ”

It's arrogant, but he's telling the truth.

"Mr. Fang," Long Qian decided to knock on the madman, "you wait. I have already understood what you said just now. You have lived overseas for a long time, and under the influence of the revolutionary party, you advocate a full revolution, and Long Mougu just listens to it. And you actually want to help me build the party, what kind of party to build? Long received the queen mother's kindness, thinking day and night, just to serve the court, it was Long who led the troops to fight the flood, and also to share the worries of the queen mother. I think you're a smart person, did you find the wrong temple gate? Besides, Long's governance of the army, talent first, and the implementation of the new policy in Lunan all relied on Chen Yue's gang Junyan, and when it came to your mouth, it became a wine bag and rice bag! Mr. Fang, don't you think you're too arrogant? (To be continued......)
