For Sa Daoyi, Yuan Shikai's inauguration as president would be catastrophic, and the only way to prevent this disaster from happening was for Mr. Sun to become China's president sooner than Yuan Shikai. So even if Yuan Shikai and Yang Xiaolin don't force the south to make a statement, the foreign adults will do it.

After Lao Yuan made a routine notice to Sa Daoyi, Sa Daoyi immediately sent a telegram to the Japanese side, asking Minister Abe Shotaro in Nanjing to do his best to help Mr. Sun remove the temporary government of the south!

The Chinese government must not be the Beiyang government that is at war with itself.

Lao Yuan came back from the British Embassy, and when he just walked to the door of his house, he saw a familiar figure standing in front of his door, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face. Yuan Shikai knew that this person appeared in front of him again, which meant that his archway was slowly rising again.

He hurriedly got out of the car and walked up in a few steps: "Baili! ”

Jiang Baili's figure is still so upright, and he has a very regular military salute: "Yuan Gong." ”

Old Yuan laughed: "I thought you wouldn't come back in the future." ”

Jiang Baili was very calm: "I had already arrived in Shanghai, and the tickets to Germany had already been bought, and I heard that Yuan Gong was declaring war, so I refunded the tickets." I hope that Yuan Gong can ignore his past suspicions and let Baili fight on the battlefield for you. ”

Lao Yuan is really very happy! He is in great need of people who can fight now, and people like Jiang Baili, who can both train and fight, are even more like baby bumps.

"I'll talk about the matter of going to the battlefield later, I urgently need you to arrange the defense of Beijing City for me immediately, as well as train the newly recruited soldiers. Baili, after the loss of Jinzhou, our situation is very dangerous, and now in Shanhaiguan, it can be said that we are filling in with our lives, and this battle is really not easy to fight. I regret it now, I regret that I didn't fight to the death with the Russians in Jinzhou as you said, and use the Jinzhou defense line to consume their strength. ”

As he spoke, he pulled Jiang Baili home. Jiang Baili said beside Yuan Shikai: "Yuan Gong, the defeat of the two battles in Jinzhou has indeed made our army passive, and there is no way to change the current situation, and now we can only hold on." ”

Yuan Shikai sighed, and then nodded: "Baili, do you want to stay?" ”

Jiang Baili didn't directly ask Yuan Shikai this question, because from a military point of view, he really couldn't hold it. However, war is a very fun game, and many times the decisive factor is not the military strength of both sides.

"What we need most now is victory, to use victory to boost the morale of the soldiers. Use victory to let the people continue to support us, as long as we can persevere, I believe that opportunities will always appear. ”

Yuan Shikai stood in his footsteps, his eyes staring at Jiang Baili's face: "What plan do you have, say." ”

Jiang Baili said: "The Russian army is now all concentrated in Mongolia and the northeast, and I suggest that Yuan Gong immediately form an army in Qinghai and Gansu and fight directly from Xinjiang!" ”

When Lao Yuan heard this, he immediately understood Jiang Baili's intentions, Russia did not have much military strength west of Xinjiang, and even if the Beiyang Army invaded that place, it would not be able to achieve any substantial results. That's not a strategic location. Cai's intention was to create the illusion of victory. As long as the Beiyang Army leaves Xinjiang, it will step into the land of the Russians, and use the illusion of recovering the land to make the people more supportive of themselves.

"Okay, it's just that I can't draw troops now. There are also no suitable generals for the unification army. ”

Jiang Baili said, "There is no need to draw troops from the front line, just select from the current youth in Beijing, and the gongs and drums to be done in the conscription work will be loud and clear, so that the people will know that we are going to recover the country." Not afraid of the Russians getting the news. As for the generals, I think Duan Zhigui, who is now in Beijing, is very suitable, and he is timid. Clever, if he encounters the Russian army, he will avoid the battle. ”

Don't want Jiang Baili to say that Yuan Shikai will do it, people like Lao Yuan are like this, if he does something good once in a thousand years, he can't wait for the whole world to know.

"Well, that's it, you start arranging."

"Yes."

While speaking, the two of them had already walked into Lao Yuan's study, Yuan Shikai opened the door and invited Jiang Baili to enter, and then personally poured a glass of water for Jiang Baili: "Baili, I still have a problem that I don't know how to solve." Yang Du in the northeast is now in Beijing, and they promised to support me as China's president immediately, but in terms of military affairs, I proposed reorganization, but Yang Du rejected it. ”

Jiang Baili smiled: "It is reasonable." Yuan Gong, now that Yang Dagui is still trapped in Korea by the Japanese, is it too early for you to talk about the issue of reorganization? And I think we should try to steer clear of these controversial topics right now. ”

Lao Yuan sat down on the sofa: "I don't want to either!" But I really can't avoid it. Wu Peifu and the remnants of Jinzhou have entered Daqingshan. ”

Wu Peifu has already arrived in Daqingshan, and his troops are safe after entering Daqingshan. Although Lord Belle was chased here by the Russians, the construction of Zaitao's base was not bad, and he had studied the mountain very systematically, and now he is just using it for himself.

Although because of the lack of time and the different situation, it is far inferior to the base established by Yang Xiaolin in the northeast, but at least he does not have to worry about eating and drinking.

The arrival of Wu Peifu's troops strengthened Zaitao's military strength, but the two sides were faced with the problem of unified command. The two camps that are clearly distinguished, Wu Peifu and Zaitao both feel that they must be eliminated.

Lao Yuan also understands military affairs, and immediately after receiving Wu Peifu's telegram, he made instructions, agreeing to let Wu Peifu and Zaitao's troops be merged into one, and Yuan Shikai gave Yuan Shikai the establishment of the 19th Mixed Association of Daqingshan of the Beiyang Army, the co-commander Zaitao, and the deputy co-co-ordinator Wu Peifu.

Lord Belle didn't do it, Zaitao said that he would not help Yuan Shikai in his life! So he didn't accept this title, let alone Lao Yuan, the leader. Yuan Shikai's plan to take the credit of the Mongol resistance into his arms was frustrated by Zaitao, which made Lao Yuan very unhappy, but there was nothing he could do.

Jiang Baili roughly understood that Yuan Shikai and the Volunteers were talking about reunification at this time, and the little abacus was very fine. He and the Volunteers are unified, Zaitao must accept that formation, accept his leadership, and then he can tell others. The resistance movement in Mongolia was all done by Beiyang, and it was all done under the wise leadership of his Yuan Shikai.

There is also the current battlefield situation, there is a glimmer of hope in Yang Dagui, of course, this Yuan Shikai can also see it, when the Beiyang Army blocks the Russians, unify the Volunteer Army, if Yang Dagui really gets rid of Little Japan, you can't watch me be beaten in the Northeast, right?

Jiang Baili didn't say anything, he didn't do this kind of thing very well. So it is generally not mixed: "Yuan Gong, there is also the problem of the south." The revolutionary army has not expressed its position so far, and no one can say what path they will take in the end, and you have no troops left in the south, which is too dangerous. ”

A smile appeared on Lao Yuan's face, he squinted at Jiang Baili for a while, then stood up and walked to the desk, opened the drawer and took out an envelope: "As long as the revolution moves, I will receive the news immediately." And. Someone will block their first hit for me. ”

Jiang Baili took the letter and looked at it:

"Although Yu is not talented and does not have Yuan Gong's ambitions, Yu will abide by the duty of a soldier. At this time, the country is in danger and the nation is hanging in the balance. If there is someone who does Wu Sangui's deeds, Yu should be the vanguard and fight Yuan Gong! ”

The name of the inscription really surprised Jiang Baili: "Li Yuanhong? ”

Lao Yuan smiled and nodded: "There is no one in this world who wants to be someone else's decoration, the mud bodhisattva twenty years ago. But it's also an iron King Kong. ”

Jiang Baili's head shook slightly, and he only now knew why Lao Yuan was not afraid of Sun Wen at all. The provisional president of your provisional government has come to Yuan Shikai's side, what else is there to be afraid of?

Yuan Shikai's expression was very proud: "This time I forced Sun Wen to show his attitude. If he supports us, it doesn't matter, if he really stands with foreigners, Lao Tzu can't beat foreigners, can't he beat him? ”

Lao Yuan dared to force Sun Wen, so he was not afraid that he would be able to turn out the palm of his hand! Mr. Sun is right, Yuan Shikai is a standard villain. After the declaration of war, his decades of business were already in jeopardy, and at this time he wanted to unify Yang Xiaolin and force Sun Wen to make a choice.

This means that Lao Yuan wants to pull these two people up, if I die, you will accompany me, don't live. I can't get this, and you don't have to think about it. If Sun Wen didn't stand up, Yuan Shikai planned to fight him and kill him and let him die in front of him.

With the pioneer of the mud bodhisattva to open the way for him, the revolutionary army really has no hope at all.

Shanghai.

Chen Qimei, who was sitting in the car, stopped when she turned a corner, then signaled the driver to stop, and beckoned the newsboy to bring him a newspaper too.

There are many kinds of hooligans, one is like Shen Xing in the past, who specializes in extortion at the street corner, which is a little hooligan. And the other is a big hooligan like Chen Qimei, who bought a newspaper, reached out and took out a pound from his pocket, and did not ask the newsboy to find money, which made the newsboy very happy.

After reading the report in the newspaper cursoryly, Chen Qimei smiled slightly: "The Japanese are going to suffer a big loss this time, I really didn't expect that guy to be so tough." ”

Jiang Zhiqing, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, turned his head: "Master Chen, I don't think Yang will really fight Seoul." ”

Chen Qimei looked at him: "Oh? No way? Now the southern Japanese army is empty, as long as he defeats Seoul, even if the Japanese kill him, now there are many people in the Japanese army who will accompany him to the end, at least Dashan Yan will definitely commit suicide by disembowelment! If I were him, I would definitely not let go of this opportunity now. ”

Jiang Zhiqing didn't say anything more, and it wasn't interesting for them to speculate here. Chen Qimei said that if he was replaced, he would knock down Seoul, it was because Chen Ye and Yuan Shikai were similar, they were out-and-out hooligans, and the kind of temperament that if you want to kill me, I will drag you to death is Chen Ye's purpose.

Chen Qimei put the newspaper aside: "Anyway, the Japanese are in trouble this time, Zhiqing, what has Kimura been doing lately?" ”

Jiang Zhiqing immediately said: "Listen to your orders, I have been staring at him." In the past two days, he and Huang Jinrong Shen Xingshan have often met, although I don't know what they are talking about, but it may be a little unfavorable to Chen Ye. Look, what are we going to do? (To be continued......)
