Chapter 113: A Catastrophic Storm

This fire is not only burning, but it is really vigorous!

In the presidential palace, Sun Wen, Chen Tianhua and others quarreled with Yuan Shikai at that time! Sun Wen's condition was simple, Yuan Shikai must be held accountable for this matter, because he was the president, and he made a promise after the bombing of the martial arts hall.

Lao Yuan was quite patient on this issue in the face of the criticism of these democracy fighters, and kept saying that they should calm down and give themselves a little time to investigate what was going on. But this kind of calmness is not convincing at all when others have already decided that he is the mastermind behind the scenes.

The second is Lei Zhenchun's problem, Lei Zhenchun was derelict in this matter, plus his own things were poked out, Chen Tianhua said very clearly, Lei Zhenchun must be brought to justice! This old Yuan couldn't agree at all.

Lei Zhenchun did something wrong, and he was indeed derelict in these two cases, but Yuan Shikai is a very feudal person, and in his concept, even if Lei Zhenchun should be killed, it is up to him Yuan Shikai to do it. My people, you Sun Wen can't move.

According to the records made by the secretary of the presidential palace who was present at the time, it can be seen that the two sides are almost in the situation of tearing their faces. The final result of a negotiation is bound to be unhappy.

The news spread quickly in the city of Beijing, and the foreign ambassadors remained silent on that day. Because it happened so suddenly.

They had long seen that a storm was going to blow in Chinese politics, but they did not expect the Chinese to let the storm come so violently that the gentlemen did not have time to think carefully about which side they should stand on.

The first thing they did was send a telegram back to China asking for instructions. Please tell me what kind of attitude you should adopt in your country.

Before they could receive a reply from China, the situation in China suddenly deteriorated and seemed to be out of control.

Immediately after leaving the presidential palace, Mr. Sun Wen held a press conference and told all the news media that the lives of the democrats in Beijing could no longer be guaranteed, and he was considering whether to move the headquarters of the New Party back to Nanjing.

Although Mr. Sun Wen explained that this move was only for the safety of the lives of important members of the New Party, and had no intention of splitting the regime, everyone knew that this was actually Sun Wen's plan for the worst-case scenario.

Lao Yuan was really restrained at this time, and in the face of Mr. Sun Wen's toughness, Yuan Shikai just warned Sun Wen and asked him not to do this kind of thing with the country as the priority. Let Sun Wen give him a little time to investigate the matter clearly. Sun Wen did not respond to Yuan Shikai.

Then, the next morning, all the influential newspapers in China suddenly published the news that Lei Zhenchun, an important member of the Beiyang government, had embezzled and accepted bribes and robbed the people's daughters. All kinds of evil deeds of bending the law for personal gain! The newspapers say it in great detail. Photos of Lei Zhenchun's mansion in Beijing were published. Even the fact that his bank deposit has multiplied dozens of times in half a year has been clearly investigated!

This time, Lao Yuan's reaction immediately changed!

Just as Yang Du estimated, Yuan Shikai thought that this was Sun Wen's gang who stabbed into the newspaper office, and Sun Wen had already launched an attack on himself. They attacked Beiyang!

Lao Yuan immediately made a move, first of all, Lei Zhenchun must be strict, and he will not give Sun Wen any chance to make a fuss about this. Secondly, didn't you Sun Wen say that you were going to Nanjing? Lao Yuan immediately issued a document stipulating that from now on, any political party in China must be vetted by the government and approved by the government before it has the right to participate in politics.

The meaning is very simple, you must stay, you have to go quickly, I will declare you an illegal political party immediately, and I will ban you. Is it safe to stay? At the same time that Lei Zhenchun was thrown into prison by Yuan Shikai, Lao Yuan began to investigate Huang Xing and investigate Huang Daxia's source of funds.

This is typical retaliation!

Huang Xing has resigned now, but what did he do before? To say that it sounds good to call him a hero, in fact, it seems to be no different from the Jiangyang thief. Can you find out the ins and outs of the money of these people who go to the rivers and lakes? Huang Xing himself can't say clearly!

It's simple to say clearly, take it away, lock it up, and check it slowly!

For several days in a row, many democrats were taken by Lao Yuan to assist in the investigation, and once they were taken, they basically had no chance to get out of prison. On the one hand, many important people quietly left Beijing and returned to Nanjing, and on the other hand, he and Chen Tianhua insisted on fighting Yuan Shikai in Beijing, and there were large-scale demonstrations every day.

In a word, messy!

The British "Times" has reported on the political turmoil in Beijing one after another, and Yang Xiaolin now likes to read British newspapers, because the British Empire's sources are the fastest in the world, and to be honest, British public opinion is relatively relaxed, and their comments on political events that have little to do with their interests are relatively pertinent.

"In fact, the most fundamental reason for this turmoil is the choice of the Chinese to go to the left or to the right. After a great war, the Chinese who stood up could not make a decision about their future, and they united under Russian fire did not resolve this difference at all.

Yuan Shikai represented a traditional force, while Mr. Sun Wen wanted China to make a change, and after the Russians were beaten to Mongolia, they thought of finding a satisfactory or compromise solution to the problem through peaceful peace talks. But with the bombings and arsons, it is clear that one of them has lost patience with peace talks.

Public opinion was more favorable to Mr. Sun Wen, and the pro-democracy contingent in Beijing was much larger than the pro-president procession. Moreover, democratic youth from all over the country continue to flock to Beijing, believing that if the situation continues to develop like this, the voices supporting the president will be gradually silenced.

President Yuan seems to have given orders to the police and city defense forces to impose martial law on some of the necessary streets, and we cannot rule out the possibility that he will use the armed forces at his disposal to violently suppress the pro-democracy activists. Mr. Sun Wen also made certain preparations, and heard that the militia in Beijing was on Mr. Sun Wen's side. The young men seemed to be quietly armed.

No one can say for sure how this storm will end in the end, and only God knows whether violent clashes will take place.

We can be sure that violence can only make things worse, and there are still 100,000 troops of General Wu Zhaolin outside Beijing, and I have heard that Mr. Sun and President Yuan have personally met with General Wu Zhaolin, and we cannot know the conditions they gave to General Wu, but we can be sure that these conditions did not impress this soldier from the south.

A public statement issued by General Wu Zhaolin that he would uphold the instructions given to him by Commander Yang before the expedition and that the army would not intervene in any political struggle. His statement conveyed a clear message, first, that he followed Commander Yang's orders, and second. If a powerless conflict breaks out, he will not hesitate to intervene. God bless China. I also hope that President Yuan and Mr. Sun can be sensible, if that guy intervenes in this contest, the consequences will be disastrous for everyone. ”

Yang Xiaolin smiled when he saw the last sentence: "Yes, you didn't call me a beast this time." The British newspapers were merciful. ”

Cai Yi stood next to him and smiled. After following Commander Yang for a long time, he didn't completely turn Yang Xiaolin into a commander. Now Yang Xiaolin still likes to put his legs on the table in the headquarters, or flick cigarette ashes indiscriminately, and throw cigarette butts everywhere.

And Cai Ye found that he had become a little casual. At least when no one is around, he will sometimes unconsciously joke with Commander Yang: "Commander, you have nothing to be happy about, they say that if you intervene, it will be a disastrous consequence." ”

Cai Yi said the catastrophic three words very clearly, and Yang Xiaolin smiled: "Yes, people should be content!" ”

Cai asked, "Then when do you plan to let the British understand your catastrophic nature?" ”

The smile on Yang Xiaolin's face was put away, the timing of this intervention really had to be grasped, he had to let Lao Yuan ruthlessly deal with Sun Wen's group of democracy fighters, otherwise he would definitely have a conflict with Sun Wen after he took over.

It can't be too late, if Yuan Shikai gets Sun Wen done it all at once, it will be too late for him to make another move.

"Duan Qirui in the army, are there any movements among them?"

"Yesterday, Duan Qirui called several generals of the Beiyang Army together for a meeting, and Baili said that Duan Qirui planned to Feng Guozhang to secretly take the troops back, so that Yuan Shikai would have the ability to compete with Wu Zhaolin's troops."

There was a thick smile in Yang Xiaolin's eyes, Duan Qirui did not disappoint Yang Xiaolin after all. He was Yuan Shikai's brother for many years, and if he didn't move at all when this old Yuan needed the most help, Yang Xiaolin would despise him very much.

When the news came, Yang Xiaolin held a meeting here, and at the meeting, he clearly conveyed the same message as Wu Zhaolin to all the generals, that is, he did not want them to intervene in the political struggle in Beijing, and as soldiers, they should think of the battlefield.

If Duan Qirui was obedient, he wouldn't need to touch him. He obviously doesn't listen to himself now, between himself and Yuan Shikai, Duan Qirui still chooses Yuan Shikai. This really makes Yang Xiaolin appreciate it very much, Yang always likes interesting brothers.

But if you like it, you like it, this one, since you're in, don't blame me for collecting the rope.

"Good! Keep an eye on them, as soon as Feng Guozhang moves, we will have an excuse to move these people in the Beiyang Army! ”

Cai Ye nodded: "Commander, this time is a purge of the generals of the Beiyang Army, or is it only to deal with Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang?" ”

Yang Xiaolin's fingers tapped lightly on the table a few times: "Look at what kind of attitude Lao Yuan has, arrest people first." ”

Mr. Sadaoyi is not wrong at all, Commander Yang is also Chinese, and even if the process is bloody during the internal fighting, he always wants to end it in a relatively gentle way. Lao Yuan will definitely use the kind of small means that he likes that can't see the light of day when he is in a hurry, Yang Du's eyes are staring at the people of the Beiyang government to make mistakes, and when the time comes, Yang Xiaolin's army will return to the city, as long as all the charges can be apprehended.

When the time comes, I will say to Lao Yuan, these are all brothers who have been with you for many years, do you care? You don't care, I'll kill them all, no one will help you, what are you going to do to fight me? You have to take care of it, okay, you step down by yourself, and I will take care of the affairs of your brothers slowly, and I promise to make you satisfied. (To be continued......)
