    "Never back down?!"

    It¡¯s easy to say, but how to do it?

    Watching Ge Fu leave, Li Yuanhong looked a little unnatural.  The pressure from the British is not easy to resolve, especially when they are still standing behind Yuan Shikai, covertly or covertly. What should they do if there is a real stalemate?  Hu Ying was even more angry. As the official foreign minister of the military government, he had almost no chance to intervene in the negotiations. Instead, Wang Zhengting waited until Yang Qiu paid attention to him and frequently acted as translator and liaison. At this moment of crisis, he couldn't help but said angrily:  "Commander Yang, what do you mean? Do you know that the British have the final say on the Yangtze River now? If they block the river and bombard us with warships, then" [Search for the latest updates at]

    "Shut up!"

    Yang Qiu did not give the foreign minister any face and glared at him coldly: "Director Li, Minister Tang. As the saying goes, there is no small matter in diplomacy! I think we need to find someone who has studied in a Western school and is familiar with foreigners, so that he will not  A no-nonsense person who doesn¡¯t even say a few words in front of foreigners.¡±

    "Yang Qiu, you are a bastard!" These unceremonious words made Hu Ying tremble with anger, her fingers trembled, and she was speechless for a long time.

    What does it mean to study at the Western Academy?  Isn¡¯t this clearly an attempt to praise Wang Zhengting?  He, the foreign minister, was appointed by Li Yuanhong. How could he be in charge of a common man who only knows how to hold a gun?

    Li Yuanhong and Tang Hualong, who were worried about the relationship between Hubei and the United Kingdom, were originally a little dissatisfied with Yang Qiu's provocative words just now. Now that they saw that he was taking it out on Hu Ying and even wanted to replace him, their faces suddenly turned ugly. The latter said: "Chen Hua,  Jingwu has also been very serious about his work during this period. If he hadn't worked hard to make the foreigners neutral, we might not have been able to regain the three provinces so smoothly."

    What does foreigners¡¯ neutrality have to do with him?  Yang Qiu snorted coldly: "Chen Hua has never interfered with political affairs since he became commander-in-chief. I hope Governor Li will forgive me for saying too much today." After saying that, he stood up and fled: "Confucian Hall, go to the concession to find the German Minister Traun.  , tell him that I need some diplomatic support now."

    Germany!  Diplomatic support?  Wang Zhengting had long guessed that Yang Qiu had contact with the Germans. Otherwise, how could he have bought so many German guns and four or five German bodyguards? He immediately nodded and left.  Li Yuanhong and Tang Hualong were also secretly shocked. Even though there was only one sentence of "some diplomatic support", if Germany could really help with diplomacy, then the situation might not be so bad. Thinking of this, the two looked at Hu Ying with a somewhat confused look.  changed.

    Hu Ying never expected that Yang Qiu could persuade Germany to obtain diplomatic support, and the cold sweat rolled down her forehead instantly.  Yang Qiu did not look at him and continued: "Don't be too upset, Governor Li. You and Minister Tang should come up with ways to save the peace talks as soon as possible. Yuan Shikai had the help of the British and clearly wanted to suppress us, so he asked Tang Shaoyi to turn around and go to Shanghai. We  If we don't come up with something, this will really come to an end! As for the UK matter, Chen Hua will take care of it."

    "That's good, that's good." Li Yuanhong said a few words in succession and sat down like a Maitreya Buddha.  However, Tang Hualong was still very worried and asked: "I wonder if Chen Hua has any good ideas? Telling him will make us feel at ease."

    "There is no good strategy." Yang Qiu almost fainted as soon as he opened his mouth. He stood up and smiled lightly: "Brother is a rough soldier. The best way is to use the barrel of a gun!"

    The barrel of a gun?  !

    My brother, he is British this time?

    Tang Hualong and Li Yuanhong looked at each other with sad faces.  But what can they do?  Now within the three provinces, except for the Wuchang Governor's Mansion, which has a hundred guards to control, all the other armies are Yang Qiu's people.  He is now well-known and his position in the army is stable, so we can only watch him say goodbye and leave quickly.

    After Yang Qiu walked out of the consultation bureau, he looked at the concession area on the other side, which occupied a small part of Hankou's town, with a solemn gaze.  These concessions of different sizes are like cancerous tumors!  How long are you going to endure it?  If these blood-sucking tubes are not removed, will the future of the three provinces and the country be smooth?  How about simply selling the oxygen torpedo technology to Germany, killing the British Navy and completely changing world history?

    As he walked, he went over the world situation and the domestic situation in his mind. When the ferry arrived in Hanyang, Song Ziqing and Zhang Wenjing, who had arrived after hearing the news, were stopped by him before they could speak. He ordered: "Order! Start three immediately  The division stopped entering Hunan and all were pulled to Xingou to cooperate with the 1st Division and prepare for the attack on Xiaogan. The 2nd and 3rd brigades of the 2nd Division immediately set off and joined the 1st Brigade northward along Jingshan Mountain to march towards Wusheng Pass. The 4th Division immediately conducted long-distance training  Exercise, catch up with the Second Division and prepare to attack Wusheng Pass! In addition to the troops with missions, the Fifth Division immediately went to Chongqing and the Seventh Brigade to prepare for southward support! Immediately mobilize the artillery battalions that can be deployed and deploy along the river for 24 hours  Stand by! Order the naval battalion to dispatch and pay attention to the movements of British ships at any time, but never open fire first!

      Notify Shen Shukai to prepare funds for continued military expansion.  If I contact Japan again, I can lift the military control order on the Hanyeping Iron Mining Area, but the iron smelting plant is not Japan's most vital interest, so it will not be lifted for the time being.  In addition, I would like to inform the Japanese Minister that I hope to have a constructive meeting on the future status of Han Yeping!  "

    It can be seen from these orders that Yang Qiu is not waiting for the peace talks to end.  So Song Ziqing immediately agreed: "The British only have two dogs in the Far East, Japan and Beiyang! Japan's interests are in Manchuria and the north. In the south, except for Han Yeping, it can't get involved, and the low carbon steel in the ironmaking plant is not Japan's best.  It is urgently needed. As long as we can make some concessions on ore exports, we may not be unable to reach an agreement with the idea of ??connecting Asia to resisting Europe that they have been promoting all day long.¡±

    Yang Qiu agreed: "Your analysis is good. The most important thing for us now is to force Yuan Shikai to withdraw his troops! Dai Tianchou will send the press release to Shanghai immediately. Taking advantage of the opportunity to prepare for peace talks, the bigger the noise, the better. He  Didn't Zhu Erdian want to help Yuan Shikai suppress us and deliberately arranged for the peace talks to be held in Shanghai? Well, we simply won't participate! As long as we build momentum and publicize Britain's unreasonable demands, Yuan Shikai will fight with us again.  It will make everyone think that he wants to be a lackey of the British! If we don't fight, once Beiyang withdraws, Ying Nao will lose an arm that threatens us."

    "What about the lower reaches? If we really have a conflict with the British, they may not intervene." Zhang Wenjing looked nervously at the British gunboats on the river.

    Yang Qiu smiled slyly: "I'm not at the downstream estuary. If we really fight, they will probably be more anxious than me."

    Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go!

    The land of Hubei, which had been quiet for half a month, was once again boiling and noisy. When it was revealed that the North-South peace talks were going to Shanghai, Hubei, which had always believed that it would become the heart of the country after the first success, felt a sense of betrayal.  As the troops who received the order, such as the Barak-toothed Leopards, set off one after another, the National Defense Forces, whose morale had reached its peak after the victory of Kokurayama, once again directly tore up the temporary ceasefire agreement with Beiyang with their majestic singing.

    In addition to the army, the naval camp is no longer idle.  The Chu Yu three ships filled the ammunition depot with new shells, set anchor, and slowly sailed to the waterway outside the Hankou concession area. Every sailor was ordered to keep one eye open even when sleeping.

    At the same time, in order to cooperate with the Navy, Guishan Fort and Sheshan Fort were put on high alert, and four artillery battalions were deployed along the Hankou and Wuchang Rivers.

    This deployment immediately shocked everyone. The army's dispatch can be said to be to deal with the Beiyang Army entrenched in Xiaogan, but the navy's move has completely exceeded the scope of civil war!  All the ancestors are on top!  What on earth is Yang Qiu going to do?  !

    The large-scale transfer made some people unable to sleep, especially Li Yuanhong and Ge Fu. The former was worried that it would anger Britain and lead to a foreign war, while the latter did not expect that Yang Qiu would take such drastic actions.  When he learned the news, Xinsheng Road at the intersection of the Chinese District and the Concession had been completely blocked by garrison camps and security companies. Sandbags and bunkers of all sizes plunged Hankou, which had only restored peace for a few days, into the haze of war again.

    It was only after Dai Tianqiu¡¯s latest report appeared in the newspapers the next day that everyone understood what had happened in Hubei.

    A minute of the meeting, written entirely in vernacular, records in detail the unreasonable demands made by Graham as a British representative. The humiliation and pain of being Chinese can be felt between the lines even by a newly literate child.  Reporter Dai Da, who had already vaguely acted as the mouthpiece of the National Defense Forces, went crazy to express his patriotic enthusiasm in the article. Under the guidance of the passionate words, the voice against the continued rampage of the great powers gradually became louder from a trickle, and eventually slowly spread to the entire China.  diffuse.

    "Damn it! Lear! Get to your position and lock them down!"

    "Felit, are you on vacation? Bring your people! You must make sure you have enough ammunition to sink them as soon as possible."

    The situation on the Yangtze River suddenly changed. The four insect-class river gunboats turned their guns towards the two Chuzi-class gunboats and one Jiangzi-class gunboat docked on the opposite side of the river. The tonnage of the two gunboats was not much different, but the British had one more. And  All were six-inch guns, which gave them a greater advantage.

    The signal flag bearer under the Mi flag kept waving the flag. Wang Guangxiong and Bingwen, who had just learned the flag on the bridge, silently chanted: "Leave this water immediately and unconditionally, otherwise our ship will intercept and bombard, and you must obey our orders!"

    "Damn it, it's another must! How can I open my own Yangtze River? I don't care about the British guys! Come on, turn the muzzle of the cannon and aim it. Is it great to have one more ship than me? I see you on the sea.  You can't hide and go on the river?! Fuck your mother! At this distance, I can drag three boats on my back before I die!" The bearded Wang Guangxiong was furious and gave orders with foul words. Bingwen clenched his fists next to him.  finally understood?What is naval gun diplomacy that makes sense if the muzzle is large?

    "Colonel, they also turned the muzzle of the gun!"

    The first mate¡¯s nervous shouting made Lieutenant Colonel Foley, who was leisurely drinking coffee, furious.  Even without a telescope, Foley knew the firepower configuration of the three gunboats on the opposite side that had been active recently, so he secretly compared the strengths of both sides.  The three Chinese gunboats have five 47-inch naval guns and five 3-inch rapid-fire cannons. On our side, we have eight six-inch naval guns and a dozen one-pound cannons. The rapid-fire cannons suffer a bit, but we have several small ones.  Supported by patrol gunboats, the main gun has a huge advantage.  Let's fight. Damn, the distance is too close!  Even if the training level of the Chinese is poor, in such narrow waters, even if cruisers and gunboats are dispatched to bombard, it may be extremely dangerous!

    As a lieutenant colonel who only became a gunboat commander in his forties and has no ambition and enjoys a generous Far East allowance every day, he hates these yellow-skinned monkeys opposite him and hates those damn bitch politicians.  Cursing: "Damn idiot, what kind of trouble has he caused us!"

    The first mate shook his head with a grimace. This profound question was not something he could know, so he could not answer the lieutenant colonel.  But he finally had more of a "brave Nelson heart" than Foley, and he lowered his voice and said: "Lieutenant Colonel, no matter what Mr. Graham did, we must warn these idiots. I suggest firing bombardments in front of them to warn them.  Understand who has the final say here!¡±

    Foley suddenly envied his colleagues in the Far East who were performing missions outside the sea, because on the sea, even though the Japanese navy, which had just won the Battle of Tsushima, walked around when they saw the Union Jack flag, he himself had to face three small ships.  Mosquito provocation!  Perhaps the first mate finally aroused his inner pride and said: "Very good suggestion: Allow the bombardment warning. If they fire back, then open fire with all your strengthkill them!" After he finished speaking, he placed the coffee on the command podium.  Go up and pick up an English newspaper.  This is his habit, an idiotic move that thinks he is safe in times of crisis!  The first mate said something sinister and instead ordered a warning bombardment.

    The muzzles of the four large insect-class gunboats flashed at the same time, and the rumbling sound of the cannons startled Bingwen. When he turned his head to ask Wang Guangxiong if he would fight back, he found that his face was extremely dark, and he squeezed the railing hard: "Don't be afraid.  The direction of the muzzle is wrong, it's a warning! Come here, tell the brothers, as long as the shells don't fall on the ship, you must not fire first!"

    The sudden sound of shelling completely stirred up the trend. Countless white people who were enjoying the beautiful life in the Far East in the concession were startled. Ministers from various countries immediately rushed to the top to check the situation.

    Drops of sweat rolled down the noses of the officers and soldiers of the three ships. After the warning bombardment, the British naval guns had turned back. Both sides had locked onto each other, and the British sailors continued to whistle and provoke.  This made the naval battalion gunner with red eyes secretly swear that as long as the opposite muzzle shines with fire, he must fire as many shells as quickly as possible.

    The air on the Yangtze River was almost solid. At this moment, Bingwen suddenly pointed in the direction of the Japanese Concession: "Take care of the Japanese!"

    Wang Guangxiong turned his head to take a look, and his expression changed. He saw three Japanese gunboats charging over fiercely, and the muzzles of their guns were all locked on him!  With the addition of three Japanese gunboats, the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse. In a two-on-one situation, Britain and Japan were absolutely sure to sink themselves before suffering serious damage.

    what to do?  retreat?  !  No, I lost once during the Sino-Japanese War, and I have to fight to the death this time, not to mention that there are four army brothers from the artillery battalions on the shore supporting us.  As time passed, the Japanese gunboats hoisted their semaphores and approached the rear of the British formation, forming a neat shelling line.

    At this critical moment, Navy Yang Jingxiu, who was temporarily stationed in Yangluo, also received news of the confrontation in the Yangtze River.  As a result of the previous neutrality in the civil war, the relationship between the Navy and the National Defense Force not only did not improve, but worsened a lot.  Because the National Defense Force Staff believed that it was precisely because the navy did not provide artillery support that the rapid fall of Sandao Bridge almost endangered Hankou.  The most serious thing was that the person in command at that time was the second leader of the Tongmenghui. In this way, the navy also offended the party members.  Although he sent several telegrams to Jiangxi and Lianghuai, who dares to ask them at this moment?  Even if I wanted to, I couldn¡¯t afford it!  Spending millions every year on half-hearted naval forces is not as cost-effective as arming a few divisions.  Therefore, during this period, except for Wang Guangxiong's naval battalion, which was ordered to provide some money and supplies from time to time, their supplies were all cut off. Seeing that the day of payment was approaching, many soldiers were too worried to want to work.

    So when they learned that Wang Guangxiong was blocked by Britain and Japan, Yang Jingxiu and the navy captains immediately realized that this was a good opportunity to mend their relationship. What's more, the Yangtze River also belongs to the Chinese and cannot be defeated on the sea. Could it be that on the river?  Do you have to keep three feet out of the way?  So he immediately ordered the sea warship and three gunboats to go to support.

    The arrival of the sea ship and three gunboats immediately triggered the most violent chain reaction. Wang Guangxiong jumped to his feet and laughed. The navy has not forgottenAt the time of the brotherhood, there was also chaos in the Hankou Concession.

    Looking at the confrontation on the river, Traun stood at the window thoughtfully. He had secretly sent the news about the loan and the operating rights of the Han-Chuan Railway back to Shanghai and China. The feedback information naturally made him extremely happy, but  I didn't expect that the situation would deteriorate so much in just a few days. Once Yang Qiu and Britain and Japan deteriorated, should Germany intervene in this matter, or should it ignore it and wait for the matter to end?

    Some diplomatic support?

    Traun remembered the message Yang Qiu sent and turned to ask his counselor: "Loew, what do you think we should do?"

    Loew is a German commercial counselor who has been in China for many years. It is said that his grandfather came to this country as early as 1830 and earned unimaginable wealth. For this, he also received a commendation from His Majesty the Emperor.  Therefore, he is the diplomat who most firmly supports Germany in seizing the Far East market. When he heard the inquiry, he immediately said: "Your Excellency, Yang Qiu has opened a wonderful big market to us. So I think we should make some returns if he is eliminated.  !Then we will gain nothing.¡±

    "I understand." Traun pointed to the high-flying Union Jack flag: "But it will damage our relationship with the United Kingdom. This matter is too important!"

    Loew said: "I think we should tell Yang Qiu that if the British lackeys, the Beiyang Army, can be expelled from Hubei as soon as possible, then we can provide more help. And you said a lot, we are not yet equipped to fully confront the British in the Far East.  The damn little Japanese monkey is eyeing Qingdao, so the news here should be sent back to the country immediately and handed over to the Parliament and His Majesty William."

    Traun: "Okay, you go and convey our intentions, and at the same time send the news back to China as quickly as possible, telling them that I need an accurate and clear solution here."

    The radio wave arrived at the Hong Kong forwarding station at the fastest speed, and was quickly sent to Europe after many layers of forwarding. Even Yang Qiu probably didn't expect how big a stir this telegram would eventually stir up.

    After a few hours of telegram arriving in Germany, Wilhelm II, known as Europe's best wizard, left behind a room full of banquet guests, summoned his ministers as quickly as possible, and then waved the telegram to point at Sanssouci Palace.  The monkey head snatched from the Old Summer Palace was shouted: "The British are in big trouble in the Far East! Great, let's go to the Far East, our little monkey needs some support!"

    Facing this impulsive Emperor who never considered the consequences, the ministers even had the desire to die. Xiao Maoqi even had the urge to resign altogether.  Going to the Far East?  God!  It is no longer ten years ago. The haze permeating both sides of the North Sea has forced Germany to retract its attention back to Europe instead of fighting a war 10,000 miles away.

    Fortunately, the hard-working German strategists and diplomats also saw clearly that Britain was no longer able to carry out major overseas operations. So it took only one day to decide to give the "little monkey" some diplomatic support within its capabilities, and at the same time issued a  There is a huge list of weapons.  Of course, this costs money.

    Starting from the next day, German newspapers were the first to break the news of the confrontation on the Yangtze River.  Germany was rejoicing that the sun would never set before it would finally be involved in the second Boer War.  France was worried and needed British help in the face of huge pressure from Germany.  Gray and Whitehall were scratching their heads. Who was spreading rumors?  Didn¡¯t Zhu Erdian say that everything is under control?  Russia burped and began to look at the map of the Far East. Japan's Taisho cabinet was conflicting with each other. The navy supported the British, but the army thought this was a good opportunity to unite with China to deal with the whites.

    When the German minister received the news, he knocked on Zhu Erdian¡¯s door and asked whether the principles of neutrality and concerted action among all countries had been cancelled. The eyes of the entire China were once again driven crazy by Hubei¡¯s generous act!

    From Hong Kong to Beijing, the whole of China is discussing this matter.  Those who applaud said this is what the new government looks like, while those who opposed said it was idiotic to offend foreigners now.  Chen Qimei even publicly sang a counterargument, believing that Yang Qiu was ignoring the overall situation. At a time when the new government was in urgent need of foreign recognition, this confrontation would seriously hurt the new government, and demanded that the Hubei National Defense Forces immediately withdraw the gunboats.  At the same time, the ministerial delegations from various countries were scratching their heads and starting discussions. While they were cursing Yang Qiu for overestimating his own capabilities, they were also dissatisfied with Britain's attempt to monopolize midstream and upper reaches interests and negotiate with Hubei.

    "Crazy! This Yang Qiu is completely crazy! He actually dares to confront the British!" As Yuan Keding stamped his feet, Yuan Shikai hurried to the confidential staff room in the mansion, glared at him and asked Chen Huan: "Er'an one.  How is the situation now?"

    Chen Huan saluted respectfully. This general who became famous in the Gengzi Year had just been invited by Yuan Shikai from Tianjin to serve as a military adviser.  Compared with the aging Beiyang, he had a little more vitality. He stood in front of the map and introduced: "Now Yang Qiu's two divisions are bypassing Xiaogan and heading towards Wusheng Pass.??, the remaining two divisions have arrived at the Xiaogan front line. The telegram sent back by Pinqing said that they were digging fortifications day and night and would be ready for the attack tomorrow afternoon at the latest.  "

    Yuan Shikai sat by the brazier, casually picking up the poker and stirring the charcoal fire. The recent internal and external troubles made him look much older, and asked: "Er'an, tell me the truth, is Yang Qiu really going to be beaten?  "

    Chen Huan said: "I can't predict this, but since he dares to fight against the British, he must be prepared to fight to the death. There is also news from Sichuan that there is probably a division of troops rushing to Chongqing to prepare from  Head south to Badan. According to my calculations, this division can reach Hankou within ten days at the latest. 1."

    "What is this Yang Qiu going to do? He really thinks that he can really dominate with a few old towns? How dare he attack the British?" Yang Shiqi said angrily: "In my opinion, let's just give him a fight! Anyway,  He still has to deal with the British and is tied up a lot, so I don¡¯t believe we are still afraid of him.¡±

    Chen Huanduo glanced at Yang Shiqi and sighed secretly in his heart. These old Beiyang people don't know the outside world too much and asked: "Sir, judging from the military comparison, we have a chance to win. The problem is: you this time  Fight or not!¡±

    "A fight or not?" Yuan Shikai put down the poker, looked at the handsome new staff member and asked in surprise: "Er'an, what do you mean?"

    Chen Huan took two steps back. He was not like old people like Yang Shiqi when he first arrived, so he spoke in a strict and respectful manner: "If you want to fight, you should ask Wang Pinqing to attack now, and shoot Wu Sheng immediately after shooting."  Guan Movement and Duan Zhigui's troops should join together, otherwise once Yang Qiu's two divisions complete the horizontal insertion, Xiaogan and Wu Shengguan will be cut off. As long as it can be delayed for ten days and a half, Xiaogan, who has no food, drink or supplies, will be finished without fighting. But  If hit! Sir"

    Seeing his hesitation in speaking, Yuan Shikai immediately waved his hand and said: "It's okay to just say it. I'm not that stupid to listen to opinions."

    Chen Huan continued: "It is enough to attack our troops in Hubei this time, but have you ever thought about it? Britain is now confronting Yang Qiu. There are already rumors and uproar in Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. If we fight now Your Excellency and the British  Your relationship will be used as an excuse! From the official point of view, it is a foregone conclusion that Nanjing will not be protected. If you capture the Nanjing Party members, you will be very powerful. You have the initiative now. As long as you protect the court for one day, no matter how much money is drawn in the south, you will not be taken.  method, so they must support you in the peace talks. But if we fight now, even if Britain asks Japan to cooperate, they will accuse you of colluding with foreign invaders. If Hubei loses too much, your Excellency will be much more passive."

    "How can Yang Qiu survive our losses?" Yuan Keding was fuming. Seeing that peace talks were about to begin, he didn't expect that Yang Qiu started to go crazy again. Not only did he confront the British, he also pulled out all his troops to fight to the death again. Gritting his teeth  He said: "If we defeat him, what else will the Party have to fight with us?"

    Chen Huan murmured in his heart that the gap between this man and Yuan Shikai was still too big. He held up his hands and said: "What Brother Keding said is that the southern party members and Yang Qiu can't stand each other now. The party members will definitely be happy if he is overthrown, but what if he gets into it?"  What should we use to chase Sichuan? And please don¡¯t forget, my lord, yesterday the German minister went to see Zhu Erdian. I¡¯m afraid this matter is not that simple"

    Yuan Shikai's hand trembled, and he immediately pretended to cover it up by rolling up his sleeves, and asked calmly: "Er'an, do you mean there is any real connection between Yang Qiu and Germany?"

    "I don't know." Chen Huan said simply: "Huan is just speculating. I just don't think it is that simple. So many German weapons will not fall from the sky."

    Yuan Shikai is afraid of this, why is he not worried about the south until now?  It is because of Zhu Erdian's support that no matter how fierce the riots are in the south, as long as the foreigners do not join in, they will have no loans and no weapons, and the number of soldiers will become less and less. But if someone supports it, it will be dangerous. If you ask,  Said: "What does Er'an mean?"

    Chen Huan first apologized and then said: "What I mean is, if you don't want to fight, just withdraw from Xiaogan, but don't let Wusheng Pass go. In this way, we can attack, retreat or defend. The initiative is still in our hands. Then  Let Brother Shaochuan and his son put pressure on Shanghai to force Yang Qiu to withdraw his troops. As for the British side, we'd better not interfere."

    Yuan Shikai picked up the tongs again and stirred the charcoal. In fact, he really wanted to take the opportunity to make a dozen. The vague relationship between Yang Qiu and Germany made him very interested.  However, he was afraid that Chen Huan would be accused of colluding with foreigners. The fire of the road protection movement was still lingering, and the country was already very dissatisfied with the foreigners' tyranny. If he jumped out, the party members would probably scream even more joyfully.

    Just when he was unsure about paying attention, Wang Yitang suddenly rushed in and shouted: "Gongbao, it's bad. Nanjing I. is gone!". ·Ä
