Chapter 231: Change of Mind (II)

"Although the internal appearance is not good for the Beiyang Army now, their strength has not been damaged in any way, and we can't talk about having an absolute advantage. Song Jiaoren touched the two mustaches on his lips and said in a deep voice: "In my opinion, it's time for us to have a good talk with Chen Weng, and now letting Chen Weng put pressure on the Beiyang Army is much better than our direct pressure." Just as he was talking, he saw that Ma Jinchun on the side was always frowning and didn't say a word, so he asked curiously: "Deputy commander, do you have any other ideas?"

Ma Jinchun groaned, and then said bluntly: "I don't know very much about your political negotiations, but from the perspective of the military strategy I am good at, Outer Mongolia being lured by Russia is not necessarily a bad thing for the Beiyang Army." ”

"How do you say this?" Song Jiaoren and Chen Fan said in unison.

Ma Jinchun then said what he thought in his heart, and his thoughts were almost the same as Xu Shuzheng's, and Song Chen couldn't help but gasp when they heard it, and they both looked at each other, and they both felt the surprise in each other's eyes.

Song Jiaoren closed his lips, stood up, walked back and forth in the room a few times, and finally set his eyes on the newspaper, and then said: "If it is really as Brother Ma guessed, the current situation is extremely unfavorable to us......" As he spoke, he tapped his fingers on the table a few times, and ordered with a stern expression: "Brother Ma, you should immediately contact General Cai Ye and Governor Li Du now, and say that I have something to discuss." Then he said to Chen Fan: "Ziyu, you go to see Chen Weng and try to persuade him to support us in the future negotiations, even if it doesn't work, I hope he can show that he can support us on the surface." In addition, if Mr. Xu is out of customs, I hope we can be the first to meet him. ”

When Chen Fan heard Xu Changqing's name, he couldn't help frowning, although he was reluctant in his heart, he also knew that now was not the time to express his opinion, so he didn't say anything more, got up and walked out quickly with Ma Jinchun.

After nightfall, the Chen family lit the lights and candles on the porch and courtyard of the inner courtyard, and the little stars and lights in the entire deep mansion not only did not add a trace of warmth, but added a gloomy atmosphere. Although on the surface the entire mansion seems empty and defenseless, if you look closely, there will always be some figures standing motionless in the corners of some courtyards, looking around vigilantly with eagle-eyed eyes, not letting go of any suspicious person or thing.

The backyard of the Chen family, which was originally extremely quiet these days, has become less peaceful since the day, and several ** courtyards that are rarely in contact with each other suddenly seem to have become relatives and friends who have been reunited for a long time, and they seem to be extremely enthusiastic. Even Chen Deshang, the head of the Chen family, who rarely showed up, wandered around the courtyards uncharacteristically after returning to the mansion, and did not stop until nightfall. What is puzzling is that there are two more people who go to the courtyard where all forces live with Chen Deshang, and that is the Huang family brothers and sisters, the owners of Yizhuang of this generation.

Since Xu Changqing saw the news of the establishment of foreign affairs and wanted to promote the completion of the negotiations between the forces of the north and the south, Chen Deshang took on the role of a liaison to investigate the bottom line of the negotiations between the parties and arrange a meeting between the two sides for Xu Changqing. As for Xu Changqing, he didn't want to get too involved in worldly things, so the Huang family brothers and sisters acted as their own mouths and met with Chen Deshang to meet with representatives of various forces. Xu Changqing's decision was not only due to his own factors, but also to let the Huang family brothers and sisters take over the affairs of Yizhuang.

Thanks to Chen Deshang's investigation in advance, the inner activities of the representatives of the main forces in the north and south were clearly felt. The mediation of the negotiation conditions proposed by the northern and southern forces has also been unusually smooth, and with the exception of some differences in political concepts, most of the other substantive conditions have reached a certain consensus, and the next thing is to wait for the two sides to finalize after formal negotiations tomorrow. In this afternoon's run, compared with the Mu Na of Huangshan, Huang Juan is remarkable. Officially, because of her grasp of people's hearts, coupled with the talent of leaking the eye of the sky, she is often able to put forward some appropriate suggestions to Chen Deshang at critical times. These suggestions enabled Tran Deshang to coordinate the forces of all sides, so that the forces of all sides could reach a preliminary agreement before tomorrow's talks, thus speeding up the pace of peace talks between the north and the south.

Although the preparations before the negotiations went very smoothly, and all the forces accepted the Huang brothers and sisters as Xu Changqing's representatives, Li Yuanhong and others still expressed their hope to meet Xu Changqing before the formal negotiations. For this reason, Chen Deshang asked Huangshan to return to the mountain and asked Xu Changqing's opinion, and after Xu Changqing thought about it again, he nodded and agreed, agreeing to meet the representatives of all parties in the evening.

"I'm going to bother Mr. today. After nightfall, Chen Deshang learned that Xu Changqing had arrived at the gate of the Chen family's house, and hurriedly rushed out to greet him, and led him into the main hall of the inner courtyard, saying: "I didn't expect that things would be resolved so smoothly today, and it seems that the formal negotiations tomorrow will also be very smooth, thanks to the help of the two little gentlemen." ”

Xu Changqing smiled indifferently, reached out and touched the heads of the Huang family brothers and sisters on both sides to show his appreciation, and then said: "The main reason why things are so smooth is that neither side wants to continue fighting, and they also know each other's bottom line in advance, so they will not make too many demands." As he spoke, he frowned again and said, "It's just that you don't think that the next thing will be very smooth, after all, you also mentioned just now that after the establishment of the new Huaxia regime, the position of the family has not yet been decided? ”

Chen Deshang's nerves that had just been relieved were tensed again, although he was the head of a family and a businessman, but before that, his identity was a descendant of Yan and Huang, and he was a Chinese person, no matter how much he valued interests, he would take not damaging the national body as the bottom line. He knew very well at this moment that if there was a confrontation between the north and the south, for a businessman like him, he could make a lot of war money, and the large amount of medicine and gauze that had been accumulated before could be sold at a high price, but it would be harmful to the country. In particular, the surrounding areas of China will inevitably turn against each other when they see the protracted war in the Central Plains and the intervention of foreign forces, and the whole of China will be in danger of being torn apart. At that time, even if he becomes the richest in the world, I am afraid that he will be a piece of fat that everyone slaughters.

"In Mr.'s opinion, how should we make both sides relax?" Chen Deshang frowned and muttered.
