Speaking of which, the captain of the presidential palace guard ran in again at this time, but this time he did not come to arrest people, and stood at the door with a military salute: "Report!" ”

Yang Du didn't say anything, just looked at Li Yuanhong, the mud bodhisattva hadn't entered the role for a while, so he stood there still. It wasn't until Tang Shaoyi pulled his clothes next to him that he understood, and now he is performing the duties of the president, although it is said that in the eyes of the mud bodhisattva, this must be temporary, and he will have to give way when Yang Dagui comes back, but the temporary one must also be presentable.

Cough softly: "Come in." ”

The captain was also stunned for a moment, and after coming in, he didn't know what to call Li Yuanhong, and he hesitated for a moment to be considered witty: "Report to the ministers, General Wu Zhaolin has restored stability in the city and is asking for an audience outside the presidential palace." In addition, the envoys of various countries in China have just submitted a joint letter asking us to immediately explain to them what happened in Beijing. ”

Li Yuanhong thought for a while: "In this way, Huizi, you go and arrange Wu Zhaolin's next work, so that these soldiers can withdraw from Beijing City." I'm going to take a bus trip to Minxiang. ”

Yang Du nodded: "President Li, I suggest that the troops be partially withdrawn from Beijing City, you must know that the city defense and police force are very unstable now, and the security in the city must be considered." Strict military orders were given to the soldiers in the city. ”

Of course, Li Yuanhong will not have any opinions: "Okay, let's go our separate ways." I told the foreigners that President Yuan was ill and that I would take his place for the time being. ”

Yang Du smiled, the mud bodhisattva had to say for a while, he was still that character.

In fact, Yang Du likes this character very much, and he believes that Yang will like it too. Why do you have to get rid of Lao Yuan? Why don't you let Sun Wen return to power? Because both Yang and Yang Xiaolin believe that what China needs now is not disputes. The mud bodhisattva is the most suitable, he will not insist.

Yang Du knew that it was time for him to send a message to Yang Xiaolin and tell him that everything had been done.

Dongjiaomin Lane.

Just after meeting with Li Yuanhong, the ministers of various countries held a small meeting again. At this time, the European lineup had basically been delineated, and in any way, the distinction between the Allies and the Entente seemed so clear, and the meeting would be the same, and Jurdian did not greet the Germans at all.

After Mr. Conger entered the door, he said, "Yuan Shikai is sick? Do you believe this reason? ”

Sa Daoyi sat down and took out a cigar from the table and lit it: "Maybe a fool would believe such a coincidence." But I can be sure that Yuan Shikai is still safe, and those people didn't hurt him. ”

Bowo shrugged his shoulders: "Maybe it's safe now, but it's hard to say in a few days." Mr. Sadaoyi, I can bet with you that Yuan Shikai will definitely not survive this time, and when Yang fights the ghost back, Yuan Shikai will definitely be killed, this is the law of the alternation of the old and new regimes. ”

Sa Daoyi smiled slightly: "The Chinese are not French. They would not have taken Yuan Shikai for Louis XVI's. We're going to see the Chinese solve this problem in a Chinese way, and I'd love to gamble with you, but I'm sure you'll be paying for it. ”

Mr. Zhu Erdian stopped the two of them from continuing to talk: "Okay gentlemen, we have a lot to do now, even if Yuan Shikai lives, it will be of no value to us, there is no need to waste energy." To be honest, I am very pessimistic about the situation in China. Sun Wen and Yuan Shikai completely let us down, we are faced with the question of what attitude will he take towards us in the future we have to deal with that beastly government? How do we respond? ”

For the British Empire. There's a lot to do with the Chinese government.

They wanted China to stay away from the Germans, they wanted China to stop clashing with the Russians, they wanted to use China to contain Japan in order to achieve a balance of power in Asia, and they wanted British commercial interests to re-enter the Chinese market.

The first condition for this to be achieved is the restoration of normal diplomatic relations between the two sides. As for the need for a definite orientation in the relations between the two sides in the future, Mr. Zhu Erdian's pessimism is justified, because Yang Dagui has never compromised, and this beast's attitude towards the British has always been unfriendly. Although Yang beat the ghost some time ago through the Americans to convey his goodwill to himself. However, like Mr. Sa Daoyi, Mr. Zhu Erdian was visibly wary of Yang's goodwill.

Japanese Minister Shotaro Abe immediately stood up: "We, on the Japanese side, still say the same thing, on the issue of China. We in Japan are ready to play an active role. ”

After saying this, Shotaro Abe sat down and said nothing more.

Little Japan was not stupid either, and they could see that the British wanted to play that balance, and wanted to limit the development of the Great Japanese Empire. Instructions have already been sent from Tokyo, and after Yang Du approached Shotaro Abe a few days ago, China and Japan have already started preliminary negotiations on the Asian issue, and in the talks, both China and Japan have put aside the factors of Western countries.

After the negotiations, Japan felt that there was something to talk with China, at least than with the French, who had only come to listen, and with the British, who were willing to provide them with two colonial divisions in the event of war.

Negotiations on the details have not yet begun, and the Japanese side will bring together the Chinese side to negotiate with the Chinese side, Naogami Matsubara, who has just made great achievements in Indonesia. Tokyo made it clear that Japan would not take the lead or refuse Britain and France's move to restrict China.

"I think we have to come into direct contact with Yang Dagui and Yang Du now. Look at what the Germans and Austria-Hungary are doing now? They weren't in a hurry, I'm sure they already knew the outcome of this matter! Gentlemen, we are already a step behind, so now we must catch up. ”

Sa Daoyi pulled the topic to how to deal with the Chinese issue. Mr. Bower said unkindly, "Damn the Germans! ”

Sadaoyi frowned: "Bowo, I hate racism. Let's sort things out now and see what we should do in the first place. ”

The gentlemen got to the point, and the first thing to discuss was, of course, the issue of getting China and Russia to sign a peace treaty, and there was no longer any difficulty on the Chinese side at this point, and Yang Da Ghost withdrew his troops and returned, which showed that the Chinese did not want to fight, and the rest was negotiation.

But now the Russians are clearly full of resistance to the signing of the treaty.

Nicholas II asked for peace talks some time ago because the war was still going on, and he wanted to use peace talks to save his face, but Yang beat the ghost mercilessly poked the face of the Russians.

This really hurts the Russians a lot! Face is a certain reason, and another reason is that the Chinese killed almost a million troops of the Russian army at once. This makes all countries have a delusion about Russia, this European gendarme is really not good, he is a paper tiger, and he will break it when he pokes it!

It was also that the Russians were too unpopular, and they did not expect that while fighting with the Chinese, the Turks would also attack them with the covert support of the Germans. Their main combat forces were concentrated in Europe and China, and Turkey took advantage of it in a cold manner, and the Turkish troops of 30 divisions completely annihilated the Russian troops of the two armies on the Russian-Turkish border within a week, recovering tens of thousands of square kilometers of occupied territory.

Before Nikolai could retaliate against Turkey, Romania also made territorial claims to the Russians, asking the Russians to return their usurped lands to them. Otherwise, Romania reserves the right to use force.

Such a threat was simply unacceptable to Nicholas II! Even if Russia declines again, it will not be your turn to bully me, Romania. In the eyes of Nicholas II, signing a treaty with China at this time was an alliance under the city, and he did not keep face, territory, and soldiers, and he did not want to sign it.

The British and French, however, believed that the problem would not be difficult to solve if they put pressure on Russia. In contrast, how to distance the relationship between China and Germany is a work with technical content, Mr. Sadaoyi thinks. In fact, the cooperation between China and Germany has a lot to do with the policy mistakes of Britain and France.

Yang Xiaolin's comprehensive cooperation with Germany began in full force after the outbreak of the Sino-Russian War, when China had no allies and was in urgent need of help. The Germans also had no intention of planting flowers, and at first they only thought of using China to contain some Russian military power. That is, the war situation became more and more favorable to China. Germany's support has only gradually increased.

Mr. Sadaoyi said that any cooperation and alliance is based on interests, and as long as Yang Xiaolin can be persuaded to open the market to them, as long as Yang Dagui can be made to realize that Britain and France can give him more than the Germans can give him, I believe he will make a wise choice. After all, things in Europe are too far away for China.

The key to this is a question of degree, so that while satisfying the Chinese, it is also possible to get benefits for yourself.

The gentlemen finally make a decision, wait a few days and see.

If Yang Du can stabilize the situation, it will mean that China's political situation is fixed. At that time, they could do something that would help improve the attitude of the Chinese people towards Western countries without waiting for Yang Xiaolin to come back. For example, to give China some loans, return some war reparations, so much can be done at present, the gentlemen know very well that if they want the Chinese to leave the Germans, they must make them feel that they are friendlier than the Germans.

A country is like that, what respect? Respect is just the kindness that others show to you out of the desire to use you when they feel that you have the value of use. So, if you want people to respect you, you have to show that you have the value of being respected.

On May 8 of the first year of the Republic, Yang Xiaolin's troops had not yet returned to the city of Beijing, but the situation in the city had slowly stabilized. Mr. Sun Wen really understood many things after this failure, and when he entered Beijing again, he did not ask those Beiyang people to be angry, on the contrary, Mr. Sun Wen made a request to those latent democrats in the city and the fighters who were released from prison, asking them not to make trouble at this time, and to put the stability of the country first.

Mr. Sun finally became a little more realistic, he knew that it was not himself who won this victory, and he also knew that Yang Dao was not fighting ghosts to protect himself for the purpose of protecting democracy, and after Lao Yuan's purging, China's democratic strength was already very weak, and if he still called Yang against ghosts again at this time, democracy might be completely destroyed.

So he didn't shout democracy anymore, all his actions were in cooperation with Yang Du and Tang Shaoyi.
