PS: The first update arrives, ask for collections, ask for recommended votes!

No. 19, Xila Hutong, Wangfujing Street, Yanjing City, was originally the residence of Yuan Shikai, the governor of Zhili and the minister of Beiyang, but after Yuan Shikai launched a mutiny, it has become the political center of the country! The ordinary people who originally lived in the alley have already been forcibly relocated, and the troops of the third town of the Beiyang Army have been stationed, and the entire alley has been laid out as solid!

Yuan Shikai launched a mutiny and placed the Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu under house arrest, I don't know how many rotten Confucians loyal to the Manchu Qing were eager to eat their flesh and sleep on their skin, and of course he attached great importance to security!

On July 21, more than a month has passed since Yuan Shikai launched a mutiny! But so far, the situation has not changed in the slightest! No one in the whole world stood up to respond to him, or more precisely, none of the governors in the whole world agreed with him! One by one, they all shouted to enter King Jingqin, trying to step on his corpse and climb up! As the situation became more and more chaotic, the foreign legations that originally supported him seemed to have a tendency to change their positions, which made Yuan Shikai even more anxious!

"My lord, I just came back from Dongjiaomin Lane! Except for the British, the ministers of the rest of the countries were very dissatisfied with our delay in stabilizing the situation in the country! The Japanese, in particular, think that the behavior of adults is harming their interests! If the Japanese hadn't focused on negotiating with the Russians now, I'm afraid they would have taken more radical measures! A middle-aged man said to Yuan Shikai! He is Tang Shaoyi, the squire of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Yuan Shikai's important assistant in foreign affairs!

"Damn the Orientals! Sooner or later, one day, Lao Tzu will settle accounts with them! Yuan Shikai scolded! Before the First Sino-Japanese War, Yuan Shikai was the governor of Korea. As a result, the First Sino-Japanese War broke out and Japan invaded Korea, and he had to disguise himself as a civilian and flee as a wolf, which was a shame for his life!

"My lord, the most important thing now is how to deal with the difficult situation! The foreigners are already getting impatient! Tang Shaoyi said!

"Someone, call Zhiquan and Pingqing! Since those guys refuse to bow their heads, let's solve it by military means! Yuan Shikai said ruthlessly! Among the six towns in Beiyang, the first town has been disarmed, Duan Qirui's third town and Wang Shizhen's sixth town are in Yanjing, and the other three towns are in Henan and Shandong to deal with the enemy in the south! Among those who opposed Yuan Shikai, Duanfang, the governor of Liangjiang, and Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Huguang, were the most important! Both of them are gathering troops and preparing to make a move against Yuan Shikai! So Yuan Shikai had to send the main force of the Beiyang New Army to resist!

Soon, Duan Qirui and Wang Shizhen came to Yuan's mansion.

"Izumi, Primary, how sure are you if we want to use force against the south?" Yuan Shikai asked directly!

"My lord, are you going to do something to the south? Hit the two rivers first, and then attack Hubei along the Yangtze River north! Duanfang, the governor of Liangjiang, only has some patrol battalions and river defense battalions in his hands, and they are vulnerable! The Hubei New Army in the hands of Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Huguang, although it is not as good as our Beiyang New Army, is not to be underestimated! Wang Shizhen said first!

Yuan Shikai nodded after hearing this, he still has strong confidence in the Beiyang New Army he trained single-handedly!

"In this way, Ping Qing immediately led the sixth town south, preparing to cooperate with the fifth town to defeat the old boy in Duanfang! Then with the second town and the fourth town, flank Hubei! As long as we kill both of them, no one will dare to oppose us! Yuan Shikai finally made up his mind!

"Yes, sir!" Wang Shizhen said excitedly! Duan Qirui was a little envious, but he also knew that Yanjing needed someone to defend, and the six towns of Beiyang couldn't all be sent out! These days, Zhao Erxun, the general of Shengjing, is also clamoring to enter the king of Jingqin, which makes them have to leave enough troops to do it!

"Xiang Cheng, haha, good news!" Suddenly, a person hurriedly walked in, his face full of joy! The person who came was Xu Shichang, the Minister of Manchu Military Aircraft, and an important ally of Yuan Shikai!

"Bu Wu, why are you so happy?" Yuan Shikai asked with a frown. He's dying of sorrow these days!

"Xiangcheng, someone from the northeast is here! Several powerful factions in Fengtian have sent people to contact us! Xu Shichang said!

"Really?" Yuan Shikai is overjoyed! You know, he is now like a rat crossing the street and everyone shouts and beats, and a supporter suddenly pops up, making him seem to see a glimmer of light!

"That's right! The commanders of several patrol battalions in Fengtian, Zhang Yuting, Feng Linge, Ma Tengxi, and Wu Xingquan, sent people to meet me, claiming that they could support us! However, there are conditions, after the matter is completed, the three eastern provinces will be handed over to them! Xu Shichang said!

"Humph! Four unknown people also want to be feudal officials, it's just wishful thinking! Tang Shaoyi said disdainfully!

Yuan Shikai hesitated a little, although these commanders of the patrol battalion in Fengtian may still be a figure in Fengtian, but if you look at it in the whole country, it is nothing at all! In addition, although the three eastern provinces are barren, if this is handed over to others lightly, Yuan Shikai is still a little reluctant!

"Xiang Cheng, I think I can agree to their conditions! The people they sent claimed that if they reached an agreement, they could arrest the Shengjing general Zhao Erxun and send him to Beijing! In addition, we will electrify the whole country and support our Qingjun side! Xu Shichang said! Now their Beiyang faction is hateful and enemies are on all sides, and an ally has finally appeared, of course they have to catch it!

"Isn't it too cheap to hand over the three eastern provinces to those guys like this?" Yuan Shikai asked!

"Xiangcheng! What's so good about the three eastern provinces? Don't forget that the Russians and the Japanese have just fought a battle in the three eastern provinces! What we want now is to gain the support of the local powerful faction, and the rest will be talked about later! Once we have taken control of the whole country, we can find an opportunity to clean them up at any time! Xu Shichang said anxiously!

"Alright! Promise them! However, they must arrest Zhao Erxun and bring him to Yanjing! Yuan Shikai finally nodded! Now he is isolated and helpless, and he really needs reinforcements! At the same time, it is also to show foreign legations that he is not without supporters!

"Okay, Xiang Cheng, I'll continue to talk to them!" Xu Shichang said!

The person sent to Yanjing by Zhang Yuting was Zhang Fuchen, an important assistant of his, although he was only in his thirties, he was extremely capable. This time, Zhang Yuting sent him to Yanjing entirely because of his talent!

That night, Xu Shichang and Zhang Fuchen had a secret talk, and finally the two sides reached an agreement! Zhang Yuting and others arrested Zhao Erxun, the general of Shengjing, escorted him to Yanjing, and telegraphed the whole country to support the Qing monarch in Beiyang this time. On behalf of the Manchu government, Yuan Shikai appointed Zhang Yuting and other four people to take charge of the military and political affairs of the three eastern provinces! And, give the regular army establishment of four towns in the three eastern provinces! After Yuan Shikai took control of the central government, the treatment of these four towns was equivalent to that of the Beiyang New Army!

In order to win over the three eastern provinces and obtain the support of Zhang Yuting and others, Xu Shichang can be said to have spared no expense! However, there is another very important reason for this, that is, Beiyang did not take Zhang Yuting and others in their eyes at all. In their opinion, as long as the central power is obtained, it will be easy to destroy these guys in the three eastern provinces when the time comes! Making concessions now is completely a last resort!

Fengtian, in the Shengjing General's Mansion, Shengjing General Zhao Erxun was reprimanding Zhang Yuting, the commander-in-chief of the Fengtian Patrol Battalion.

"Zhang Yuting, how long will it take for the various patrol battalions in Fengtian to be ready? I'll give you the last three days, and after three days, you must march to King Qinjing of Yanjing, otherwise, you will give me a fuck! Zhao Erxun scolded! Zhao Erxun is a native of the Blue Banner of the Han Army, and he can be described as loyal to the Manchu Dynasty! After Yuan Shikai's mutiny, he was the first to jump out and scold Yuan Shikai and announce that he was going to enter one of the several local powerful factions of King Qin! However, Zhang Yuting and others dragged on and dragged on and were extremely uncooperative, which made him very angry!

"Yes, my lord, within three days, the humble position will definitely be ready!" Zhang Yuting lowered his head and said!

"Humph!" Zhao Erxun snorted coldly, didn't even look at Zhang Yuting, turned around and went to the back hall! He has always looked down on an officer like Zhang Yuting, who was born as a bandit! If it weren't for the need to rely on Zhang Yuting and others to lead the troops, maybe he would have ordered Zhang Yuting and others to be dismissed a long time ago!

Zhang Yuting gritted his teeth and turned around and left General Shengjing's Mansion!

On the afternoon of July 21, Zhang Yuting received a telegram from Zhang Fuchen from Yanjing. Suddenly, this made him very happy, and immediately sent people to invite Ma Tengxi, Feng Linge, Wu Xingquan and others to discuss!

Soon, Ma Tengxi, Feng Linge and Wu Xingquan came to Zhang's mansion. Of course, as the first person to propose this construction, Wu Haoxuan also came with his father!

"Haha! Brothers, Beiyang has agreed to our request! On behalf of Yuan Shikai, Minister of Military Aircraft Xu Shichang accepted our conditions in full! Promised to give us the establishment of four towns, and handed over the military affairs and government affairs of the three eastern provinces to us! Zhang Yuting laughed and said!

The other three were also full of joy, even Ma Tengxi! It's just that they don't seem to think that there are only three provinces in the three eastern provinces, how can the four of them divide it?

"Since Yuan Shikai agreed to our request, then don't hesitate, let's do it tonight and tie up that old guy Zhao Erxun! Lao Tzu has long looked at him unpleasantly! Feng Linge said loudly! The establishment of a town, coupled with the autonomy of local military and administrative affairs, is enough to drive them crazy!

"Good! Get started tonight! Zhang Yuting also couldn't wait!

At 11 o'clock in the evening of July 21, Zhang Yuting, Feng Linge, Ma Tengxi and Wu Xingquan led their troops into Shengjing City and launched an attack on Shengjing General's Mansion!
