After the negotiations between Wu Haoxuan and Lin Quanzhu ended, the Shanhaiguan Peace Conference finally came to an end. Ministers from various countries have left this place one after another, and they have long since stopped wanting to stay in this place.

Wu Haoxuan is also preparing to return to Shengjing from Shanhaiguan. After taking Shengjing, the ruling center of the Jilin Army will be transferred from Jilin to Shengjing. Compared with Jilin, Shengjing is undoubtedly more suitable as a ruling center. Of course, the current Jilin Army has expanded to the entire northeast, and it is no longer appropriate to call it the Jilin Army. Wu Haoxuan planned to change the name of the Jilin Army to the Northeast Army.

Of course, now Wu Xingquan and Wu Haoxuan, father and son, still lack a name. This title is still in the hands of the Beiyang government. As for how to deal with the Beiyang government, Wu Haoxuan still has to think about it. After all, when the Jilin Army and the Japanese army were fighting fiercely, the Beiyang Army actually dared to send troops to march outside the Guan, intending to attack Shengjing City, threaten the rear road of the Jilin Army, and put the Jilin Army to death. As a result, there is already an undying feud between the Jilin Army and the Beiyang Army. It's just that now the Jilin Army has just finished its war with the Japanese, and it needs to replenish and recuperate, and it can't fight continuously. Otherwise, Wu Haoxuan would not mind directly waving his army into the customs and overthrowing the Beiyang government.

Although the Jilin Army defeated the Japanese, and the Japanese had to sue for peace. But again, the casualties of the Jilin Army were not small. There were almost 20,000 killed and seriously wounded in battle alone, and countless more were lightly wounded. In addition, the consumption of the war made the war materials accumulated by the Jilin Army almost consumed. In addition, the officers and soldiers are very tired, and the cold winter is coming again. Therefore, at this time, the Jilin Army needs to recuperate and recuperate, and it can no longer continue to be foreign mercenaries. What's more, the Jilin Army has just swallowed the entire Northeast, and it will take time to digest it. Especially Mukden Province. There are abundant resources here, and it depends on whether you can build a basic industry.

"Young marshal, we have already won the battle against the Japanese, why do you still look sad?" Li Yanling asked.

"Yan Ling, this time we were able to defeat the Japanese. It's really a fluke. In fact, the Japanese are much stronger than us. It's just that for various reasons, they can't give full play to their strength, which makes us pick up a bargain. Wu Haoxuan said.

Although he won this battle, Wu Haoxuan has never been complacent. On the contrary, he was more vigilant. He knew that if in the coming time, the Jilin Army did not want to build its own heavy industry and not build a strong army. If you want to win the next war, I am afraid it will be even more dangerous. What's more, the enemies of the Jilin Army are not only the Japanese, but the old Maozi in the north is still eyeing the tiger. Yuan Datou in the south also wanted to get rid of the Jilin Army.

Li Yanling nodded as if she didn't understand, she was born as a bandit, and she didn't know so much. But. But she knew that Wu Haoxuan would definitely be able to win. This has become a belief in her heart.

"Young Marshal, there is a person who claims to be named Yang Du who asks to see you, and he claims to have come to see you on behalf of Yuan Datou." A staff officer reported.

"Yang Du? Yang Huizi? He actually came to see me? Wu Haoxuan was stunned.

For Yang Du's name, Wu Haoxuan has long admired it. After all, among so many celebrities in the late Qing Dynasty, Yang Du is definitely a person with real talent and learning. Merely. Because of the environment at that time, it was incompatible with the imperial art that Yang Du had learned. If Yang Du could be born in a feudal dynasty, he would definitely be able to become a generation of famous ministers.

At present, what the Jilin Army lacks most is undoubtedly talent. Especially in the field of government affairs. Wu Xingquan himself is just a warlord, let him take care of government affairs. It's a little too hard for him. Therefore, the government affairs of the entire Northeast are actually relying on the old-fashioned bureaucrats who have taken refuge in them. Although Wu Haoxuan was very dissatisfied with these people, there was no suitable candidate to replace them for a while.

"Yang Du is a talent, if he can be used by me, it would be great." Wu Haoxuan said secretly.

Yang Du's ancestors have been farming for generations, and went to his grandfather Yang Auditorium to participate in the Hunan army of Li Xubin's department, serving as the sentry chief, and the title of the fourth grade. Uncle Yang Ruisheng joined the army with his father, and the father and son were in the same battalion. Yang Litang was killed in the Battle of Three Rivers, and Yang Rui escaped with his life. Yang Ruisheng was later promoted to the general army because of his military merits, and was stationed in Dezhen, Chaoyang Town and other places. His father Yang Yisheng was the fourth son (the second son, the third son died young), worked in the family farm, and doubled as a drummer, Yang Du was his eldest son, and his younger brother Yang Jun (Zi Chongzi), sister Yang Zhuang (Zi Shu Ji). Yang Du lost his father at the age of ten and passed on to his uncle. Yang Jun is good at poetry, writing, calligraphy, painting, and printing, and Yang Zhuang is also a poet. When Yang Ruisheng was stationed in Guide, he recruited Yang Du and his sister to his mansion. At the age of sixteen, he changed his name to Du, and the word 皙子. When his uncle moved to Chaoyang Town, Yang Du and his sister returned to Xiangtan.

In the eighteenth year of Guangxu (1892), he was admitted to Xiucai. In the following year (1893), Shuntianfu Township tried to raise people; In the past 20 years and 21 years, the first and second branches have both failed in the examination. During the examination, it coincided with the book on the bus, and he also echoed it, and met Liang Qichao, Yuan Shikai, Xu Shichang, etc. Returned to his hometown, and studied under Hengyang Dongzhou and Chuanshan Academy, a generation of famous Confucian kings Minyun (Renqiu, Xiangqi). In 1895, when Yang Du was 21 years old, Wang Minyun personally went to Yang's house to recruit him as a student. The intimate relationship between teachers and students, Yang Du is deeply loved by Wang, and can joke casually, Wang often calls Yang Du "Yang Xianzi" in "Xiangqilou Diary". Yang Du studied in the Wang Sect for three years, and he was obsessed with the art of the Wang Emperor, which had a profound impact on his later life. He once said to a friend: "Yu Cheng is not enough to be the emperor's teacher, but if there is a king, he will come to take the Fa, and the Tao may be?" Yang Jun and Yang Zhuang also studied in Wangmen, and Yang Zhuang later married the four sons of the Wang family. There are also Xia Shoutian, Eight Fingers Toutuo, Yang Rui, Liu Guangdi, Liu Kuiyi, Qi Baishi, etc.

The current Yang Du is just a strategist of Yuan Datou. It's just that because he is too young and too young, he can't be reused by Yuan Datou. This time, Yuan Datou sent Yang Du to meet with the Jilin Army, which was just a test for him.

"Please." Wu Haoxuan commanded. He had already made up his mind, and if he could, he would try his best to bring Yang Du under his account. Not only Yang Du, but even those fellow disciples with him are also talents! Among the six gentlemen of Wuxu alone, his classmates accounted for two.

"Yes, young marshal." The staff officer nodded, and immediately went to invite Yang Du in.

Wu Haoxuan saw a tall and handsome young man walk into the headquarters. He couldn't help but sigh, worthy of being called a gentleman.

"Yang Du has seen the young marshal." After seeing Wu Haoxuan, Yang Du immediately saluted. Although, he is older than Wu Haoxuan. However, Wu Haoxuan's status is much higher than him.

"Brother Wanzi doesn't need to be polite, I have admired Brother Wanzi for a long time, please take a seat. Yan Ling, make a pot of tea. Wu Haoxuan said enthusiastically.

Wu Haoxuan's enthusiasm made Yang Du a little flattered. You must know that he is just a strategist of Yuan Datou at the moment, and he is not a character at all. And Wu Haoxuan is the young marshal of the Jilin Overseer's Office, and this time he commanded the Jilin Army to defeat the Japanese. Yang Du once studied in Japan, so he naturally knows how powerful Japan is. Even Yuan Datou's Beiyang Army did not dare to be presumptuous in front of the Japanese. However, the Jilin Army defeated the Japanese and annihilated more than 100,000 Japanese at one time. This is a rare victory for the Chinese in modern times.

"The young marshal is too polite." Yang Du quickly calmed down.

"Brother Huizi, are you here this time?" Wu Haoxuan asked straight to the point.

"Your Excellency, I have come to see you on the orders of the Prime Minister. Between the Beiyang and Jilin armies, there was some misunderstanding this time, which led to the two sides fighting each other. Your Excellency Prime Minister hopes to clear up this misunderstanding. Yang Du said.

"Oh? Misunderstanding? Brother Huizi, we Mingren don't speak dark words. I don't believe it's a misunderstanding. At the time of our Jilin Army and the Japanese blood station, Yuan Datou ignored the fact that everyone was Chinese, and colluded with the Japanese in a vain attempt to put the Jilin Army to death. This kind of behavior can be said to be even more hateful than that of the Japanese. Wu Haoxuan said hatefully.

Yang Du was silent for a while, in fact, he was also very disgusted with the Beiyang Army sending troops to the Northeast. The Jilin Army has certainly threatened the rule of the Beiyang government. However, everyone is Chinese! When foreign enemies invaded, the Beiyang government not only did not hate the enemy, but colluded with foreign enemies to stab the Jilin Army. It's just that Yang Du's status is humble, and he can't change Yuan Datou's decision at all.

Fortunately, the Jilin Army was strong, and it still easily defeated the Beiyang Army in a bloody battle with the Japanese Army. It even captured Shanhaiguan in one fell swoop, so that the Beiyang Army did not dare to go out of the customs again. This shocked Yang Du, who never imagined that a Chinese* army could be so powerful.

However, now that he eats the king's lu, he naturally has to be loyal to the king. Yuan Datou sent him to contact the Jilin Army, so he naturally needed to do his best to consider the interests of Beiyang. Fortunately, Wu Haoxuan seems to have a good impression of him. That way, maybe he will be able to accomplish the task more easily.

"Your Excellency, this time is really a misunderstanding. The Japanese and the British put a lot of pressure on the Prime Minister, so the Prime Minister was confused for a moment and did such a thing. Please also ask Your Excellency the Major Marshal to raise your noble hand for the sake of everyone being Chinese. Yang Du said. The Beiyang side has already come to the conclusion that if the Jilin Army wants to go to war, the Beiyang Army will not be an opponent at all. (To be continued......)
