Shandong, Qingdao.

It was the German colony in China, and it was also the farthest German colony from their homeland. Compared with other imperialist powers, Germany and China plundered relatively less, not because they were benevolent, but because they acted too late.

The Germans have already said that they want to build Qingdao into a model among the German overseas colonies, so Qingdao has developed rapidly in recent years, and the small fishing village in the hands of the Qing Dynasty has soon become a seaport comparable to Guangzhou.

Of course, in addition to their efforts, the Germans mainly relied on the Chinese and their cooperation to achieve such results.

So Yuan Shikai chose the place to meet Yang Xiaolin in a small fishing village in Qingdao, and when Yang Xiaolin didn't come, Yuan Shikai relied on fishing to pass his boring time.

He's really bored right now, but he's confident he'll not be bored soon.

During this period of time, he followed the methods taught by Mr. Li to retreat step by step, and gave in again and again to those Zaitao and Tie Liang who looked at him unpleasantly, and it had reached the point where there was no way to give in. But those guys seem to really think that they are afraid of them, and they are pressing step by step, if it weren't for the fact that Lafayette hasn't lost his breath, it is estimated that they will be eager to clean themselves up.

Looking at the fishing line floating on the water, the corner of Lao Yuan's mouth smiled, do these boys really think they are mud people? They'll know they're good right away. Sun Wen was already preparing for revolution in the south, and that Yang Dagui was also preparing to rebel in Liaodong. When these two fires that are enough to destroy the Qing Dynasty burn up, those boys will know that without the Qing Dynasty, he Yuan Shikai is still Yuan Shikai! But without Yuan Shikai, the Qing Dynasty would not be the Qing Dynasty!

The fishing line on the water floated, Lao Yuan hurriedly lifted the fishing rod, and a one-pound fish was lifted up from the water by him with its tail flicked.

Lao Yuan is very happy, fishing is really interesting. In his opinion, the current Qing Dynasty is also like this fish in his hands. It's no problem to do whatever you want.

What makes Lao Yuan entangled now is what Cixi should do? To be honest, this old woman is really good to herself, although she let herself carry a black pot at the beginning, but in recent years, Cixi has also taken good care of him Yuan Shikai, and asked him to kill this old woman with his own hands, Lao Yuan is really a little unable to do it, and he doesn't want to bear this charge.

There is also Emperor Guangxu, who is now Empress Longyu.

Lao Yuan put the fish in the fish basket and sighed in his heart. In fact, he is quite sympathetic to Guangxu. Longyu, that woman really doesn't look like a person who can be a queen. If she looks more cute, maybe I can consider taking her as a small one when the time comes.

The German sitting next to Lao Yuan looked at Yuan Shikai's fish basket: "Lord Governor, your fishing level is really first-class, and I am willing to bow down." ”

Yuan Shikai smiled: "This is just a pastime, Mr. Amway is a busy man, and I, who only have the title of governor, will naturally lose compared to fishing." ”

Amway is a businessman in Germany. He also has an identity as a bridge of communication between the German government and Yuan Shikai. Now that the world is still Manchu, it is impossible for the Germans to send an official diplomat to contact Yuan Shikai, which is not in line with international practice. It's also bad for Yuan Shikai.

Amway smiled and said: "You will be busy soon, and our German government hopes that if there is chaos in China, the governor will stand up and maintain the situation." Defend the interests of our Germany and all Western countries in China. ”

Yuan Shikai shook his head: "Amway, we are old friends, it's not appropriate for you to say this now, if those boys in the court hear it, I will be in trouble again." ”…,

Amway didn't care: "Forget it, Governor." As soon as Sun Wen made a fuss, those boys can't take care of you. They are not Sun Wen's opponents, I just assured you that as long as Sun Wen shouts a few times, these guys will be frightened. Only you are our hope for the future. ”

The flesh on Yuan Shikai's face shook a few times, he was really very happy, what Amway just said had already been told to him a few days ago, the British, Americans, and Russians all supported him Yuan Shikai. He has guns, he has money, he has prestige.

"Personally, I don't want chaos in China, if this situation really happens, and the society needs me Yuan someone to come forward, even if I can't do it, I won't back down."

Amway nodded and said, "The German government is willing to give you all the support." Our emperor has already said that he is willing to provide you with a batch of guns in order to make your troops stronger. ”

Yuan Shikai waved his hand after hearing this: "Don't use guns, as long as your foreign shili does not intervene in our Chinese civil war, there will be absolutely no mistakes, I just want you to stand on the side fairly, and no one will help!" In addition, I would like to remind you that if the Qing Dynasty really can't keep it, some of the treaties signed by the Qing Dynasty must be abolished. ”

Amway snorted: "It's nothing, in order to appease the anger of the Chinese people, we Germans are willing to make some concessions, as long as you can protect our most basic business interests." ”

Yuan Shikai didn't say anything more, this is a complicated issue, there are many treaties signed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it is too early to discuss them one by one. But there is one thing that is Lao Yuan's bottom line, those indemnities must be abolished!

Who is Yuan Shikai? How could he pay off the Manchu debt?

After the success of the Xinhai Revolution in history, Yuan Shikai did just that. He negotiated with Western countries through various means, and finally forced Western countries to give up the reparations for the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance, and the Americans took the lead in returning the money, and Britain, France, and others followed suit, and only small Japan did not agree.

While speaking, Lei Zhenchun walked to Yuan Shikai's side from behind: "Master, the guest has arrived, and the dog has already gone to pick up people." ”

Yuan Shikai's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Okay! When I received someone, I brought them over, and I went home and waited. ”

Lei Zhenchun responded: "Yes." ”

Amway also stood up busily: "Lord Governor, is Yang beating ghosts here?" Do you think it's convenient for me to get in touch with him now? ”

Yuan Shikai put away his fishing gear and said: "Wait a minute, I met him for the first time, although he was willing to come, but I don't know what his attitude is, Mr. Amway seems to be a little too early to come forward now." ”

Amway seems to want to say something. But Yuan Shikai didn't give him a chance to continue talking: "Anyway, I'm going to keep him here for two days, if the situation allows, please believe that I will arrange for you to meet immediately." ”

Amway finally agreed with Yuan Shikai's statement: "Okay, then I'll wait for the governor's news." ”

As soon as Yang Xiaolin and his group of seven people got off the train, they saw a strong man in his forties with more than 20 people coming up from the front, and the strong man showed a friendly smile from a distance: "You are the head of Yang, right?" Brother Feng Guozhang, we have all asked me to wait here for several days, please come with me. ”

Feng Dog in the legendary Three Heroes of Beiyang.

Feng Guozhang looks quite temperamental. weishenme: What about others comparing him to a dog? Yang Xiaolin didn't quite understand this.

In fact, there are many things he doesn't understand. In the history of China, the evaluation left by the Beiyang Army can be said to be very bad, and in many textbooks, they are a group of reactionary shili who destroy the republic, only know how to bully the Chinese, and bend their knees to foreigners. Their boss Yuan Shikai is even more pointed. …,

But is that really the case? Coming to this time and space, Yang Xiaolin already had a lot of doubts about textbooks. Since Sun Wen is not one of those greats, Yuan Shikai may naturally not be as reactionary as the book says.

Yang Xiaolin's mood was a little complicated, no matter who Yuan Shikai was. When you see him, you will have your own judgment.

"There's Brother Lao Feng."

Yang Xiaolin was a little polite and followed Feng Guozhang out of the station. Outside, Feng Guozhang had already prepared three cars. Yang Xiaolin and Shen Dan sat in the back of the first car with their children, and Feng Guozhang sat in the co-pilot's seat.

Originally, Tai Wangu was going to squeeze in, as a bodyguard, he wanted to ensure Yang Xiaolin's safety, but Yang Xiaolin let Tai Wangu get into the car behind.

On Lao Yuan's territory, if he wants to move himself. It's useless to bring a hundred bodyguards yourself. Yang Xiaolin's biggest umbrella is the volunteer army he built with his own hands. The Volunteers were brought out by Yang Xiaolin, but during this period of time, he left Liaodong, and the Volunteers were able to fight under the leadership of Cai Yi. He is not in the base area, and the base area can develop in the hands of Chen Tianhua's people, this is his most haode umbrella!

If the base area leaves Yang Xiaolin, it will not work, and the volunteers will disperse if they leave him, I believe that Lao Yuan will not come to entertain Yang Xiaolin again, and kill him directly, and the threat behind him will not exist.

It was precisely because the brothers did a good job that Lao Yuan would never provoke a difficult opponent to be the mortal enemy of the Beiyang Army when the form was unclear, so Yang Xiaolin knew that he was safe.

His demeanor was very relaxed, and Shen Dan was also very relaxed. The child was obviously riding in a car for the first time, and everything in the car made him very fresh, looking at the scene passing by outside the window, the child's eyes rolled wildly, as if he couldn't keep up with the rhythm.

Feng Guozhang handed over a cigarette: "Commander, I heard that you smoke, this is the camel cigarette I specially bought, you can taste it." ”

Yang Xiaolin pushed: "No, I don't smoke when there are children in the carriage." ”

After hearing this, Shen Dan glanced at Yang Xiaolin and whispered, "It's okay, you can smoke it." ”

Yang Xiaolin didn't answer in the end, and after watching Feng Guozhang put away the cigarette, he asked, "Brother Feng, is the Governor alone to see me?" ”

Feng Guozhang said: "No, this time the governor is preparing a family banquet for you, there are several of his family members and a few of our old brothers, the commander can rest assured, they are all his own people, and it is very convenient to speak." ”

Yang Xiaolin didn't ask anything more, and after the car drove for more than two hours, the road began to bump.

Finally turned into a small mountain village with beautiful mountains and rivers, Yang Xiaolin didn't know what the name of this mountain village was, but he saw a group of people standing on a clearing from a distance as if waiting for him.

As soon as the car stopped, Feng Guozhang and the driver hurriedly opened the doors on both sides, Yang Xiaolin came out of the carriage and saw a fat man weighing more than two hundred pounds walking towards him with a smile: "Haha, Commander Yang, I've been waiting for a long time!" ”

Feng Guozhang whispered: "Commander, that is our Governor Yuan. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
