Seeing that everyone was quiet, Yuan Shikai began to arrange the work: "Yan Sun has been in charge of party affairs recently, and he is more familiar with the Senate and the House of Representatives, and Yan Sun is fully responsible for sending troops to surround the Congress; Zhi'an once personally built the Beijing Division Patrol Police Department, and knew the boundaries of the capital well, and Zhi'an took the lead in monitoring the movements of the New China Party Headquarters and arresting Sun Baixi, Tang Yuxian and others; As the chief of the army, Zhiquan originally had the convenience of mobilizing the army, and Zhiquan handled the matter of contacting Cao Zhongshan (Cao Kun) and transferring the elite of the Third Division to Beijing quickly. The troops of all units must enter the city at 6 o'clock in the morning, and then hand them over to the command of Yansun and Zhi'an, and Xingcheng and others will stay in the center of the presidential palace to coordinate. Do you have any objections? ”

"Nope!" Who would dare to object at this time? Do they feel that they are living a boring life, and it happens that the guard dog of the Grand Presidential Palace did not eat supper, and plans to sacrifice their lives and cut meat to feed the dogs on the spot?

Yuan Shikai bowed slightly: "Since you have no objections, let's do it according to the plan!" The rise and fall of our Beiyang group is here, and I hope you will work together and move forward bravely! ”

"Yes!"

Seeing that the deployment had been decided, Yuan Shikai also showed a state of mental atrophy, and got up to say goodbye.

The first month of the capital was already cold in spring, and it was nearly two o'clock in the morning at this time, and the weather was even colder, Zhao Bingjun walked out of the door and saw the secretary Cheng Jingshi standing outside the carriage waiting. Cheng Jingshi hurriedly greeted him, and took Zhao Bingjun's briefcase diligently: "My lord, why did today's meeting drag on until this time?" The temperature has plummeted these days, and your body is not so tough, so you can't stay up too late! As he spoke, he lifted the warm curtain of the carriage and helped Zhao Bingjun in.

The silver frost charcoal fire was blazing in the carriage. Zhao Bingjun couldn't help but shudder comfortably, and replied casually: "What's the way?" This afternoon, the marshal suddenly received the news that Sun Baixi had sent troops into Fujian and that Sun Hui'an had changed his banner. Under the agitation of his heart, he vomited blood and fainted, and he had just woken up earlier. When this happens, how can we not stay by our side? ”

Cheng Jingshi said while burning smoke bubbles for Zhao Bingjun: "Even if you want to stay by your side, you should also take care of your body!" However, Sun Baixi's sudden dispatch of troops into Fujian was really unexpected, and before that, he had always thought that after the southern expedition to quell the rebellion, the president and Sun Baixi should coexist peacefully for a period of time. This is also evidenced by the recent easing of bipartisan relations in Congress, with formal negotiations on the presidential election already underway. I didn't expect Sun Baixi to be so bold. It's no wonder the president is so resentful. However, the president is not a bodhisattva who is pinched in mud, Sun Baixi is so arrogant, how can he give up? ”

Zhao Bingjun leaned on the pillow, took a beautiful puff on the cigarette lamp before replying: "Yes, so the handsome man is going to give Sun Baixi a little bit of power!" No, it's not a little powerful, but to seal your throat with a sword! ”

"Oh?" Cheng Jingshi's movements in his hand froze slightly. "Could it be that the President has agreed to our assassination plan again?"

Zhao Bingjun shook his head: "It's a hundred times more powerful than the assassination plan we proposed before!" Suffice it to say, compared to the current plan, our previous plan was to play with children! As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something important: "By the way, according to our information, where do Sun Baixi and Tang Yuxian live tonight?" Is there any change in the headquarters of the New China Party? ”

Cheng Jingshi replied respectfully: "My lord, because such a big thing happened in Fujian. Sun Baixi and the others stayed in the New China Party Headquarters Building all day today to deal with related affairs, and they should also stay there tonight. What's the matter, the president plans to attack Sun Baixi, Tang Yuxian and the New China Party Headquarters together? ”

Zhao Bingjun said: "Why not stop here! The marshal was ready to dispatch Cao Zhongshan's 3rd Division, stationed in Nanyuan, into the city later, and the first division took the opportunity of a joint meeting of the Senate and the House of Representatives tomorrow to surround the Congress and force the immediate election of the president; The other surrounded the headquarters of the New China Party and the residences of Sun Baixi, Tang Yuxian and other dignitaries. All the leaders of the New China Party will be captured, and the overall situation will be determined in one fell swoop. And we are responsible for surrounding the headquarters of the New China Party and arresting Sun Tang and others. The stakes are important, but you can't be sloppy. ”

"Do it tomorrow!" Cheng Jingshi was shocked.

"Yes, the handsome man is also afraid of long nights and dreams!"

There was silence in the carriage, except for the smoke from the cigarette gun and its thick aroma wafting in the air. Liang Jiu Cheng Jingshi said: "The president is so big, it seems that he is going to make a desperate bet!" ”

Zhao Bingjun said: "The handsome man is also forced to do so!" Now our Beiyang Department is lagging behind Sun Baixi in terms of troops, territory, industry, and technology. The longer the time drags on, the more the situation is not in our favor. The sooner we do it now, the better our chances of winning. And the handsome man is nearly sixty years old, although Zhao has not studied medical skills, but because he has been ill for a long time, he also knows a little about medical science. In the past, Dashuai was in good health and couldn't see anything, but after vomiting blood and fainting this time, I felt that he was described as withered and mentally exhausted, and he showed a dying and old state everywhere. I'm afraid that even if he is protected by a miracle medicine, it will be difficult to return to his previous toughness in the future, can he not be in a hurry? Of course, these are private conversations between you and me, don't spread them to the outside world! ”

Cheng Jingshi said with a smile: "No matter how humble you don't know anything, you still know what you can say and what you can't say." Rest assured, my lordship will definitely be tight-lipped! ”

Zhao Bingjun took the last puff before putting down the ivory cigarette gun in his hand: "After you go back later, you will send someone to check the situation at the headquarters of the New China Party and the residences of Sun Baixi, Tang Yuxian and others to ensure that nothing goes wrong." The old man's body is really bad, I have to go back and rest quickly, I have to be busy tomorrow! ”

Cheng Jingshi said: "Don't worry, you will do your best to ensure that there will be no mistakes!" ”

As the supreme leader of the plan to attack Fujian, Sun Yuanqi naturally knew when the Zhejiang army would invade Fujian, when the planes would bomb Gushan, and when the ships would come to the Minjiang River, but he did not know what kind of reaction the parties would make after learning the news. Therefore, on the day of the start of the plan, he and Tang Shouqian, Yang Du and others stayed at the New China Party Headquarters Building, received and processed intelligence from various places in a timely manner, and maintained communication with the front line.

On the whole, the plan to attack Fujian is progressing very smoothly, especially Sun Daoren announced that he would go to the field without firing a shot, promised to stay in office after a little retention, and also changed his flag and took the initiative to surrender, which made Sun Yuanqi and Tang Shouqian even more energetic. Although the Japanese and British envoys both lodged strong protests after hearing the news, Sun Yuanqi didn't care too much, because one was a bad neighbor who would have to meet sooner or later, and it was meaningless to flatter and say good things now, so it was better to simply raise his face and raise his eyebrows coldly; The other is the dying old empire, although it is still holding on to commanding everywhere, but its strength is not as good as before, especially now that it is firmly dragged by Germany in Europe, and it has no ability to meddle in the Far East at all.

Sun Yuanqi was most concerned about Yuan Shikai's reaction.

According to relevant intelligence, the presidential palace was in a panic for a while that afternoon, and then Zhao Bingjun, Duan Qirui and other Beiyang dignitaries were summoned into the palace one after another, and they have not come out since then. According to Yang Du and Chen Xunen's speculation, it should be that Yuan Shikai was furious after receiving the information that the Zhejiang army had entered Fujian and Sun Daoren's change of banner, so he quickly found Zhao, Duan and others to discuss countermeasures. As for what kind of measures Yuan Shikai will take to deal with it, because Sun Yuanqi's intelligence network has not yet infiltrated the key position of the Great Presidential Palace, it is unknown for the time being.

Seeing that at twelve o'clock in the evening, those people had not yet come out of the presidential palace, Chen Xunen, who is currently the secretary of the Secretariat of the State Council, persuaded him: "The premier, the general secretary, the secretary general, and the subordinates feel that Yuan Xiangcheng, Liang Yansun, Duan Zhiquan, and others should discuss all night so that they can come up with countermeasures as soon as possible. The current situation is complex, and the development of a response strategy needs to consider all aspects of the impact, and it is not easy to say when they will be able to accomplish it. You don't have to wait long here, you can have subordinates waiting here for news, so go back and rest early! ”

Yang Du also said: "Baixi, Yu Weng, what Yan Ji said is very reasonable, let's go back and rest early!" Even if Yuan Xiangcheng and the others come up with a way to deal with it now, it will take tomorrow to put it into practice, right? We can sleep in peace! ”

Sun Yuan saw that Tang Shouqian was nearly sixty years old, and he couldn't hold it after a busy day, so he agreed to push the boat. Who knew that not long after returning to his residence and falling asleep, he heard someone outside the door shouting: "Wake up soon, Prime Minister, his subordinate Chen Xunen has 100,000 urgent information reports!" ”

Sun Yuanqi hurriedly got up in his clothes, opened the door and saw Chen Xunen with a frightened look, so he hurriedly asked, "Yan Ji, what happened?" ”

Chen Xunen swallowed his saliva and replied quickly: "Report to the Prime Minister, according to the latest information, Yuan Shikai is going to transfer Cao Kun's Third Division stationed in Nanyuan into Beijing, surround the headquarters of our New China Party tomorrow morning, and arrest the Prime Minister, as well as General Director Weng, Secretary General Huizi and others; In addition, troops will be sent to surround the Congress, force the members to elect the official president, and then arrest the members and dissolve the Congress! ”

"Reliable intelligence?" Sun Yuanqi immediately asked rhetorically.

"It should be reliable, it's the news from the spy personnel we planted next to Zhao Bingjun!"

"Quick, hurry up and inform the stingers and the stingers!" Sun Yuanqi immediately raised his wrist, and he could vaguely see that it was almost four o'clock in the morning.

Chen Xunen said: "The subordinates have already made their own decisions and sent someone to invite them!" ”

While speaking, Tang Shouqian, Yang Du and the others walked over quickly in disheveled clothes. After Chen Xunen finished introducing the situation, without waiting for Sun Yuanqi to ask, Yang Du shook his head and sighed: "I didn't expect Yuan Xiangcheng Hero I, when he was dying, he actually made such a faint move, it was really a fool of Li Lingzhi and his own defeat!" ”

Tang Shouqian said: "Whether Yuan Xiangcheng's move is to make his mind faint and bring about his own defeat, Tang doesn't know very well, but if it weren't for Baixi's timely information, our whole party would become a turtle in the urn and a prisoner under the stairs tomorrow!" It can be seen that although Yuan Xiangcheng's plan is dangerous, it also points to the vital point and kills with one blow, which can not be said to be unintelligent! ”

Sun Yuanqi said: "It is less than three hours before dawn, and the time left for us to react is very limited, so let's quickly discuss how to deal with Yuan Xiangcheng's tricks!" (To be continued.)
