Sure enough, Chen Tianhua looked at him for a while and asked directly: "Sa Daoyi specifically mentioned you in the statement, and he hopes that our Northeast can participate in the negotiations." Commander, I wonder what you have in mind. ”

Yang Xiaolin sighed when he heard it: "Xingtai, that's a pit, Sa Daoyi is going to bury me after I jump down." ”

Chen Tianhua looked at Yang Xiaolin's eyes: "What you see may be a trap, but what I see is a hope!" Isn't it just for a new China that we have been working together for so many years? Aren't we dying so many people and paying so much sweat and blood to change the status quo in China? ”

His tone was very calm, and he spoke very sincerely. This is the merit of Chen Tianhua. Even if he and Yang Xiaolin had a conflict because of differences of opinion during this period of time, in front of the troops, he would definitely not embarrass Commander Yang.

"Sun Wen's telegram has been sent, you don't cooperate with him in military operations, but at the negotiating table he hopes that you can participate and give him some support. He has already said that as long as Yuan Shikai overthrows the Manchu Qing, the federal government can discuss with you! Commander, maybe the pit you mentioned really exists, and if that is the case, I will jump with you! But I don't want to see you shatter that hope with your own hands, you know? ”

Yang Xiaolin looked at his determined expression and smiled bitterly. He understood Chen Tianhua's mood, and Chen Tianhua's attitude also made him understand that he had to negotiate, even if he knew that this was a pit, he had to jump in. If you don't go, you won't even understand these brothers who have been with you for so many years, let alone the people in the gate.

Looking at Chen Tianhua's expectant eyes, Yang Xiaolin pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, you send a telegram in the name of the Northeast Autonomous Committee, just say that we are willing to negotiate." ”

A smile suddenly appeared on Chen Tianhua's face: "Okay! I knew you would agree. Zou Rong and I have already discussed, and Yuan Shikai is a bit unreliable. If you go in person, the safety cannot be guaranteed, so I'll go. ”

Yang Xiaolin's heart was a little more comfortable by what he said, he had a very stiff quarrel with these revolutionaries during this period of time, and Chen Tianhua and Zou Rong were still thinking about his safety, which made him a little moved, but he still had to go to Beijing in person.

Chen Tianhua is absolutely not allowed to go for him, this brother is too gentlemanly, and he will be stunned by Sa Daoyi. Even if you go by yourself, you have to bring Yang Du, politically Yang Du is better than herself, and the current foreign negotiations in the Northeast are all in charge of Yang Huizi.

"You power on first. Let's see what Sun Wen and Yuan Shikai have to say. We'll need some time here. Now that we have gone to talk, we must be fully prepared. Leave this aspect to Huizi to do, what you have to do is to arrange the government affairs of the Northeast, people are gone, and there can be no problems at home. ”

Chen Tianhua nodded: "Well, I know." ”

Just after talking about this matter, Yang Xiaolin suddenly heard a soldier shouting loudly: "Look ahead!" ”

Yang Xiaolin's head turned to the direction of the soldier's finger, and he saw a few black dots moving slowly in the white wind and snow! This weather will definitely not come out of the country. Commander Yang immediately picked up his binoculars and looked over.

He saw the uniforms of the Volunteers, and saw several very weak Volunteers walking towards him with their arms in their arms.

"Quick! Pick them up! ”

Yang Xiaolin rushed out against the wind, and the brother behind him was already ready, taking the quilt and clothes at hand. There was also a stretcher, and he rushed up with Yang Xiaolin when he carried it.

Shi Xiaowu is finally back.

Not only did he come back, but he also brought back four soldiers! All five were extremely weak, and one was injured. The wound was on the thigh, lying motionless on Shi Xiaowu's shoulder, and he didn't know if he was still alive.

Qian Yao rushed up and took the injured brother and put him on a stretcher. Then hugged Shi Xiaowu: "Little Wu!" ”

Shi Xiaowu's eyes were a little sluggish, and after a few gasps, he reluctantly raised his hand to salute Yang Xiaolin: "Report to the commander, Shi Xiaowu, the commander of the Fourth Division and the Ninth Regiment, return to the team." ”

Yang Xiaolin felt his eyes moist for a while, and he couldn't say anything, just nodded very hard.

A brother next to him said: "Commander, the four of us were walking together, and we got lost in a mountain depression, and the company commander fell down the mountain and was injured. We pulled the survival bombs, but no team found us. It was Captain Shi who found us, and it was he who took us out. ”

Qian Yao turned his head to look at Shi Xiaowu, and the muscles on his face twitched: "Do you know what it means to lose for you to help them?" Did you know that you almost couldn't come back? You can memorize their location and lead the party to find them when you come out! ”

Shi Xiaowu smiled on his face: "The road is hard to find, and I almost can't get out myself." Division commander, I watched too many brothers leave me on the battlefield, even though it was just a drill, and I didn't want to give them up. ”

Qian Yao looked at the haggard Shi Xiaowu, and really didn't know what to say. The muscles on Yang Xiaolin's face twitched, and he gently patted Shi Xiaowu's shoulder. He was a little moved, and he was just moved.

This is a group of brothers who participated in the exercise. Although Yang Xiaolin braved the wind and snow to organize another search and rescue the next day, no one was found alive. In fact, the search and rescue operation itself was another exercise.

In general, Commander Yang was very satisfied with the performance of the volunteers. These 3,000 people came from various teams, including new recruits and veterans, the original volunteers and the Qing army that had been absorbed, and on the whole they could still reflect the quality of the entire team.

After the exercise, the 11th and 12th Divisions of the Volunteer Army were decided, and the commander of the 11th Division, Wang Jinhan, said that the main defense area was the Dalian area. The second pole became the commander of the 12th Division, and the Heilongjiang region was transferred.

The troops immediately entered a state of combat readiness, and full-scale preparations began within the base areas, and preparations were under way for a large-scale militia contest involving 100,000 people. At the same time, Chen Tianhua sent a telegram in the name of the Northeast People's Autonomous Committee in response to Mr. Sadaoyi's call in Beijing and declared that the Northeast was willing to participate in the peace talks.

The Beiyang Army also stopped attacking the revolutionary army, and China's affairs seemed to see a bright future in the smoke of gunpowder. This makes many Chinese with beautiful ideals excited, maybe things in China can really transition smoothly, maybe the guns really end like this, maybe our revolution can really win with the least cost.

China is at a turning point, and at this time, every person with ideals and every patriotic person is thinking about what can be done for China, so that this train that has been running for 5,000 years can be more stable when turning.

No one can give an answer as to where China will go in the future, but one thing everyone knows, the Manchus must step down immediately! When Sa Daoyi's telegram demanded that the Manchu government follow the trend of the times, it undoubtedly sent a clear signal to those who were willing to do something for China.

I don't know which leader started to petition on the edge of the Forbidden City, but after one person started to do so, more and more people began to use this imperial shrine, which they had previously forbidden to enter, as a place to vent their patriotic enthusiasm.

The queue of petitioners gathered around the Forbidden City, shouting slogans demanding that the Manchu government step down immediately and that the people in the Forbidden City get out.

In such a precarious situation in the Qing Dynasty, Yuan Shikai still let the Beiyang Army tightly guard the palace. He Yuan Shikai was a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty, and he would not say anything if the Qing Dynasty stepped down. However, he told Zaifeng that if Zaifeng could not come up with any countermeasures to calm the petitioners, he Yuan Shikai did not dare to guarantee what would turn out in a few days.

But the petitioners seemed to have become more and more violent, and they began to throw stones at the palace, and many Beiyang soldiers were wounded by them.

What's even more infuriating is that Yuan Shikai not only did not hold the beaters accountable for this kind of thing, but on the contrary, in order to appease the emotions of the petitioners, Yuan Shikai also set up a special supply point. Serve some free tea and lunch to these people.

If you are tired of petitioning, you can come and eat and drink, then continue to petition, and then throw stones into the palace. That's not all, when it was almost dark, Lao Yuan also gave everyone who came to petition a little money for the journey, so that they could come again tomorrow.

His way of dealing with it made the petition team bigger and bigger day by day, and the mood of those surrounding the palace gradually became unstable.

On November 7, 1906, after the Forbidden City had been surrounded by petitioners for a whole week, Yuan Shikai finally received a letter from Zaifeng.

"Yuan Gong, Zaifeng said that this letter must be opened by you in person."

Mr. Li handed the letter to Lao Yuan, who looked a little suspicious in his eyes, and didn't know what Zaifeng would say in the letter.

took the letter, and just glanced at it after reading it, Yuan Shikai's face suddenly changed. Mr. Li, who was next to him, didn't know what was going on, so he leaned over a little to see the contents of the letter. But Yuan Shikai turned his wrist and turned the letter over.

This action made Mr. Li very stunned, he has been with Yuan Shikai for a few years, and Lao Yuan knows everything to let him know, weishenme can't let himself read this letter?

However, he didn't ask anything, let alone disturb Lao Yuan's thinking. After a while, Yuan Shikai stood up: "Prepare the car, go to the palace." ”

Mr. Li was taken aback: "Gong Yuan, you can't go at this time!" ”

Yuan Shikai didn't say much: "Prepare the car!" ”

Lao Yuan must go to the palace, because the person who wrote this letter to him really has a little affection for him, Yuan Shikai doesn't like to be emotional, but this feeling represents Yuan Shikai's dream when he was young.

Although Lao Yuan's ideals are very different from when he was young, the urge to see him cannot be suppressed. Give him an explanation, and also give an explanation to his dreams when he was young. The most important thing is that Lao Yuan knows that after seeing this person, everything should be over. (To be continued......)
