Three-zero-five go! Let's go!

"Laughing at what?"

Li Mo glared at Li Qiang, who had the corners of his mouth crooked, and put a small melon skin hat with a long braid on his head, and in a moment he dressed up as an ordinary trader who traveled between Zhili. ※※※※※ I ※ I ※ ※

"Poof." Du Dazhuang, who was wearing the same hat behind him, laughed out loud and said, "Young Master, you are really unaccustomed to this. ”

"Well, I don't feel used to it either." Master Li glanced at the mirror a few times, and also felt that the braids were a little dazzling, since he cut his braids in Canada at the age of twelve, he had never even kept long hair, and he usually kept his head flat like the soldiers, and the people around him also cut off their braids, even if he went to Taiwan before, he also made fake braids, even if there are still many ordinary people with braids in the Northeast at the moment, but he still feels a little weird when it is his turn.

But this time I went to Beijing after all, and I was afraid of causing trouble to the guards around me, so I had to put on a fake one.

Li Mo took one of the five Typhoon ships this time, and the speed of more than 30 knots could ensure that he could arrive in Tianjin in time, and he originally planned to use an airship, but that was too ostentatious, so he took a reconnaissance ship instead.

Looking out of the porthole, the eastern horizon has been slightly white, perhaps at this moment Cixi has also set off from the Summer Palace back to the Forbidden City, poor Emperor Guangxu will be pulled out of the palace by her, and then locked up in Yingtai and imprisoned.

"By the way, who was the concubine who served Guangxu last night? Why are these key issues avoided when writing history?"

The corners of Master Li's mouth hooked, he suddenly went to Beijing this time, not to watch the old woman play tricks, the purpose of his trip was for Yuan Shikai

Yes, Yuan Shikai

In fact, as early as after occupying the three northeastern provinces, Li Mo had thought about assassinating Yuan Shikai, and he had a bad impression of him, but after thinking about it, he still didn't do it, not that he couldn't do it, but that the Beiyang Army under his command really made him red.

Li Mo seems to be very capable, although he betrayed the Wei Party, but in fact, he also knows the importance of Wei, so after Xinhai became the president, he actively developed industry, unified the currency system, and also created a modern judicial and education system, at least to achieve a short period of unity and stability, if it were not for his ambitions, and was bewitched by others to restore himself as the emperor, I am afraid that there will be a later secession in Beiyang is still a problem.

Especially in the employment and selection of people, Yuan Shikai has a very set of means, Tianjin small station hard training, after adopting the all-Western style of military training, hired German instructors, although the Beiyang Army under his command can not be compared with himself, but it is a powerful army in the Qing Dynasty, there is no doubt about this

Because of his arrival, something changed the trajectory, and the Beiyang Army at this moment was also affected, because it was afraid that its fleet would go straight to Tianjin, so the Qing Dynasty, whether it was the Wei Party or the Hou Party, attached great importance to this army, not only incorporated the tens of thousands of people who had retreated from the original Northeast into it, but also recruited 10,000 people, making up 50,000 people, which was several times larger than that of the same era

To put it bluntly, Young Master Li blocked the disaster of the First Sino-Japanese War and exempted hundreds of millions of taels of silver in compensation, and the Qing government's family foundation has not been greatly consumed, as long as it is resolutely implemented, it will not be a problem to organize a hundred thousand troops at all.

From the beginning of the establishment of this unit, Li Mo and the General Staff Department paid close attention to it, but unlike Chen Ping, who thought about how to deal with it, he thought more about how to get this force in hand

So he can't kill Yuan Shikai, this person is currently the backbone of this army, and no one can replace him, in case killing him leads to a split, it's hard to say whether he can eat this mouthful of meat. 【 I want: super fast update 】

In fact, since his reincarnation, Master Li has had a bad taste, that is, he always likes to use other people's things, dig up other people's gold, rob other people's resources, and later robbed the four battleships that Japan sold almost all the people to pay off their debts.

Fighting with other people's money is not a new thing in the future generations, the United States has done this after World War II, and even the domestic resources have been tightly covered, so such a fine character will naturally be inherited, so the incorporation of these 50,000 troops has become a big piece of meat in his heart who wants to expand the army, even if only a small half is cut off, these have enough bottoms, and the Beiyang Army, which can be put into the battlefield with only simple training, is enough to make the army strength go to a higher level.

Originally, Li Mo was not going to go out in person, but the Ministry of Intelligence found that Yuan Shikai was constantly using various opportunities to evacuate the Beiyang Army in his hands, obviously he also had a premonition that something might be wrong in Beijing, and he was preparing for the rest for himself, so he wanted to try, he didn't want this army to escape into the vast Qing Dynasty and become his own roadblock.

After thinking about it, I was afraid that sending someone else would not be able to convince the ambitious Yuan Dashuai, so he decided to come in person, and once again go straight to the point, and at the same time witness with his own eyes what the heart of China was like in the era of the Wuxu Reform.

"Young master, we'll be there in ten minutes." The captain of the Typhoon appeared outside the hatch, and Li Mo nodded: "Contact Zhao Cheng, let him test Yuan Shikai first, if he wants to stay, if he still wants to leave"

"Then let's see if it's me or not"

"Yes."

After the captain left, a sound of footsteps suddenly sounded in the adjacent cabins, the guard battalion and the nighthawks began to prepare, and Li Mo also put on a melon skin hat again.

In Tianjin's Beiyang Army Admiral's Mansion, the family and soldiers were busy, constantly carrying large and small boxes into the backyard, where several carriages were ready to go.

Yuan Shikai sat in the hall, looked at the soldiers coming and going in the courtyard, sighed, after several years of hard work, he still came to this point, not because of the turbulent Beijing City, but from Liaodong, which is separated by the Bohai Sea.

Next to him, Wang Yingkai, Wang Shizhen, Feng Guozhang and others are also frowning, these people are all generals who have been recommended or who have been slowly promoted by Yuan Shikai after returning from the three provinces a few years ago.

Although Shanxi is a good place, the Jin merchants are rich, enough to support tens of thousands of troops, but compared to Tianjin Zhili is a lot more remote, once Henan is truncated, Shanxi is a dead knot, unless everyone is willing to drink the northwest wind, or can only watch a large piece of meat and drink, but they are a little bit consumed.

"Dashuai, don't you wait a little longer, haven't you come to the north yet? Maybe things will turn around. Wang Shizhen couldn't bear to throw away the foundation like this, and finally broke the silence and persuaded.

"Brother Hireqing, the north has already begun to dispatch troops as early as last month, and several ironclad ships have all returned to Lushun from Ryukyu, not to mention that Young Master Li Yingkai doesn't know if he should say what Li Mo said at the beginning, he glanced at Yuan Shikai, and after seeing the latter nodding, he continued: "That Young Master Li brought a message long before Wei started, and we are not allowed to support Wei, so it can be seen that he has made up his mind to do it."

"Is this the case?" Wang Shizhen also heard about this situation for the first time, and hurriedly looked at Yuan Shikai, who immediately nodded: "Shao Chen is right, that Young Master Li has already ordered someone to take care of me, and I am not allowed to support the Wei Party, it can be seen that he doesn't want the Qing Dynasty to recover."

"What does it have to do with not letting us support the Vyighurs and sending them troops?" Feng Guozhang was a little puzzled and immediately asked.

"Hua Fu, you think, he pretended to be someone else's mouth, and didn't let us support Wei, so the emperor would definitely not be able to do anything, maybe there was already chaos in Beijing at the moment, once the emperor was deposed or something went wrong, do you think with his character he would watch how Zhili went into chaos?"

Wang Yingkai said: "The last time the emperor went to Hong Kong to promulgate the edict, he also personally wrote down the Chinese theory, agitating the Chinese family, saying that the Manchus are no longer worthy of the world, in fact, his heart to enter the customs has long been known to passers-by, although I don't know how he will march, but I am sure that he will make a big move in the next few days."

"Damn, aren't they just a few ironclad ships? Does he really dare to bombard Tianjin? Is there a foreigner here, who is not afraid of causing disputes? Wu Changchun next to him scolded his mother in a rough voice.

"Foreigners? Hmph" Wang Yingkai sneered: "Have you ever seen people afraid of foreigners?" Back then, Britain and the United States were so supportive of Japan, didn't he just say that he would fight, besides, with the strength of the sailors in his hands at the moment, that foreigner dared to really offend him? ”

Wang Yingkai's words attracted everyone's nods, to be honest, everyone is really a little envious of those people in the Northeast, a few tough battles they can't think of, so that foreigners are polite to three points, and the Northeast is only organized, I heard that three railways have been connected in the past three years, if this momentum continues, I am afraid that the entire Northeast can be connected in two years.

While everyone was thinking, Yuan Shikai got up and looked around, and sighed: "Everyone, if you are willing to follow me, go and prepare, if you want to stay, I will never force it." ”

After speaking, he couldn't wait for an answer and was ready to go out, when he just walked into the courtyard, suddenly there was a running sound outside the door, the soldiers came to report, and Zhao Cheng, the shopkeeper of Tianjin Port, came to visit.

"Zhao Cheng?"

Not to mention Yuan Shikai, even the generals who followed behind him were all stunned, who is Zhao Cheng? This name now makes a sound when smashed on the ground in Tianjin

"How did he come here? And at this time, what kind of moth is Young Master Li going to play? ”

A series of questions rose in Yuan Shikai's heart, which made him gradually feel bad, but people were already blocked at the door, and it would not be good if the door was closed, not to mention that the one behind him was .......

Thinking of this, Yuan Shikai immediately dispersed the soldiers who were moving things, and walked to the front hall with several generals, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw a man in his thirties, sitting in the living room calmly.

Suddenly, a small hat on the table caught his attention, the black hat was placed on the edge, and a strand of hair was exposed inside, and then he found that Zhao Cheng, who had not shaved his hair, actually handed over a bald head

At this scene, Yuan Shikai and Wang Yingkai's hearts sank suddenly, this is Tianjin, not the Northeast, dare not keep braids here, it is to kill the head, and the other party dares to take off his hat so openly in his own house, and he doesn't even bother to do disguise, which can only mean one thing

"Shopkeeper Zhao is a rare guest, I don't know what happened to Yuan so early? Could it be that the gang of green skins on the dock are making trouble again? If you say something, I'll have them all arrested. Yuan Shikai hugged his fists and smiled, and stepped into the living room with a few people.

"Lord Yuan is polite, how dare you trouble you with a little green skin." Zhao Cheng also replied: "I just passed by here, and I saw that there are convoys coming in and out of the adult's mansion from time to time, my lord, who are you?" ”

"Oh, it's nothing, a few women in the family are clamoring that they are going to Beijing to live for a few days, and then they can only find a few soldiers to help clean up." Yuan Shikai hurriedly played haha.

The corners of Zhao Cheng's eyes narrowed, he didn't believe that Yuan Shikai would not see the hat he deliberately removed, since he saw it and could not mention it without asking, it means that he really has a ghost Fortunately, he was prepared, and couldn't help laughing: "Lord Yuan, Tianjin has not been peaceful these days, and we still have to rely on you, why did I hear that you are preparing to transfer the army to Shandong and Shanxi, could it be that there is a bandit there*?" Need you to supervise it? ”

"You" Yuan Shikai stood up suddenly, and even Wang Yingkai and the others around him changed their faces greatly, but they didn't expect that every move they thought was secret on their side would fall into the eyes of others, could it be that Young Master Li is his real nemesis

"Lord Yuan is busy with official business, and Zhao is inconvenient to disturb, but someone asked me to bring you a message." Zhao Cheng stood up and looked at Yuan Shikai, hugged his fists and said: "My lord, you are a Han Chinese, and you are also a member of my China, on the occasion of the change of the country, there are foreigners who are rampant outside, and the inside has the right to pay compensation for the land without thinking of progress, if it were not for the young master of my family, the result of Jiawu is better than anyone else, so I don't want to say more, who is really for the people, I believe you have seen it very clearly, and the young master only asked me to bring you a word." ”

"Between the country and the people, there should be a choice, even if the separation can be obtained for a while, but if it is not allowed to prevail, it may also be spurned by Sun, if you really understand people, you should know how to choose, don't mistake yourself and others"

After saying that, after bowing with his fists, he immediately walked out, but Feng Guozhang and the others behind him were already so angry that they rolled up their sleeves and wanted to arrest people, this is simply a naked threat, who does that Li Mo think he is? He only has more than 100,000 people in the northeast, and he has to guard against Russia and ensure stability, so it would be great to be able to come over 40,000 or 50,000, even if 100,000 come? There are tens of thousands of people on my side, and if you really want to leave, who can stop you

Yuan Shikai stopped everyone, slowly sat down on the chair, and after a while, he suddenly remembered something, looked around and asked in shock, "What about Duan Qirui?" His words made everyone's hearts tremble, and Wang Shizhen hurriedly said: "Duan Qirui was pulled by a German instructor in the morning to talk about something, what do you mean?" ”

"Oh, Germany and that Li Mo are already wearing a pair of pants, will he be?" Wang Yingkai stood up suddenly, and his face suddenly turned a little pale.

"No, never, Zhiquan and I are brothers, and he already knew about the withdrawal, and he sent his family to Shanxi before, how could he betray us" Feng Guozhang shook his head.

"It's hard to say, knowing people and faces but not hearts, otherwise how would that Li Mo know that we are leaving?"

Everyone was talking, which made the living room chaotic, and even Yuan Shikai, who had always been calm, became restless at this time, and after getting up and walking a few steps, he suddenly gritted his teeth.

"Let's go, let's go"
