    Yuan Shikai is sick?  !

    This news began to spread rapidly. In the next few days, the north and the south showed completely opposite trends. The south cheered and rolled up its sleeves to prepare to do something big after the Congress was operational. However, the north was silent and depressed, and it seemed that a storm was about to come.  .

    Ministers from various countries in China also stared with wide eyes. The last-minute alliance between the National Socialist Party and the Democratic Party before the election can be called a political classic. In addition to the needs of both sides, Yang Qiu's personal presence showed that  Huge sincerity.  When the two parties jointly won a majority in Congress, it meant that they had to re-examine their China policy.  The most embarrassing one among them is undoubtedly the United Kingdom. After the revolution broke out, Zhu Erdian contacted various countries and put pressure on the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Finally, he "invited" Yuan Shikai, hoping that he would take charge of the country and bear all the foreign debts and privileges left by the Manchu Qing Dynasty.  In this way, Britain can dominate this country forever.

    In the office, Zhu Erdian lit a cigar and felt uneasy.

    The confrontation on the Wuchang River was just an accident in his opinion, but then Yang Qiu moved Germany and the United States into the upper reaches of the Yangtze River with lightning speed, which immediately made the situation more complicated, especially the Battle of Southwest and the  He joined forces with the Democratic Party at the last moment, which shows that this young man not only advocates force, but also has extraordinary political skills. Regardless of the gunfire coming from Hubei again, he went straight to Shanghai to form an alliance, not only turned the tide in one fell swoop, but also suddenly became a majority in the Congress.  group!

    Decades of diplomatic career have taught him that it is easy to deal with politicians, and it is not difficult to deal with warlords.  But being in the company of someone who has both a superb political acumen and one of the few military capabilities in the Far East is not a good sign.

    Britain has the ability to cut off the Yangtze River waterway, and it also has the strength to block the Leizhou Peninsula and block its dream of going to sea, but doing so is tantamount to completely breaking up.  In the past, he would not have cared about such a small problem, but after the victory of the two national parties in the congressional election.  This means that the power of President Yuan Shikai will be gradually restricted. If Beiyang cannot fight back and ultimately fails in the political game Will Britain, which is betting on the north, miss the opportunity for great political changes in the Far East?

    "John." Zhu Erdian suddenly stood up and put out the cigarette butt: "Go and contact me. I hope to meet the Japanese minister. Send someone to contact Prime Minister Lu. I need to know what they are thinking at this moment."

    John Moen, who was recording, was slightly startled and said with a smile: "Dear Minister, their Prime Minister has been replaced."

    "God, what are you doing! Why did you change it again?" Zhu Erdian was also stunned for a moment, then remembered that Lu Zhengxiang had resigned, shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "The third prime minister has been changed in less than a year, can't they be more stable?  "

    "Yeah, but I think after the Congress operates, there may be a prime minister who will be in power for a longer period of time." John Moen closed his notebook and shrugged: "Because they are the majority." The majority  Zhu Erdian murmured.  He put on his hat and smiled: "Maybe, but I don't want a prime minister who can't be dealt with."

    When Zhu Erdian was seeking to solve the dilemma, people were also coming and going in the presidential palace in the center of northern political power. Behind the boxes of good medicines and treasures sent into the warehouse were pairs of eyes that were prying, testing and uneasy. After the Kuomintang and the two parties joined forces,  Everyone knows that Beiyang is in big trouble this time, but this person is sick again at such a critical moment. Does this mean that Beiyang is going to be completely in trouble?

    In the study room on the right, Yuan Keding, dressed in a dress and leather shoes, with shiny hair, crossed his legs.  He smoked the cigar vigorously, probably in too much haste, and coughed a few times. He immediately stubbed it out and cursed: "Bah, these Cuban cigars, foreigners treat them like treasures. They are not as comfortable as the snus bought at Caishikou."  Woolen cloth."

    "That's right, this thing is extremely expensive, but smoking it is not as enjoyable as smoking." Wang Yitang became addicted to cigarettes. He yawned and his eyelids drooped. Duan Zhigui, who was next to him, quickly stuffed a cigar into him: "If it's not enough, I'll hold it for now."  , you can¡¯t smoke that thing here.¡±

    Yuan Keding also said quickly: "Smoking is the most annoying thing for the old man. Don't mention these nonsense in the house from now on. I don't want to help you with your thunder." Seeing him waving his hands in fright, Zhao Bingjun laughed: "Don't worry, eldest son.  We don¡¯t dare to make the old man angry.¡±

    Because he was the eldest son, people like Zhao Bingjun privately called him the eldest son. Over time, he got used to this title. He pointed at Duan Zhigui's nose and said, "It's not you who caused the trouble. If only Cao San, a fool, was not allowed to touch Yang Qiu, he could go to Shanghai."  Looking for an alliance with a certain party? How could the old man get so angry if he doesn't form an alliance?"

    The three of them did not dare to argue. This matter was indeed done by them. Their original intention was to let Cao Kun touch the National Defense Forces, and then they simply took the opportunity to drag Yuan Shikai into the water. But who would have thought that Yang Qiu would pacify Southwest so quickly, and Lu Baiyi  and Cai Songpo even turned against each other without even farting.  Now the National Defense Force can mobilize three to four divisions to deploy on the front line of Wushengguan at any time.The opportunity has been missed.  So Duan Zhigui, who is usually known as the most knowledgeable about military affairs, sniffed, stretched out his hand to cook on the stove and said: "Isn't it that Duan Qirui and the Ministry of War dare not make a deadly move? As soon as Yang Qiu started to mobilize troops, I said we could start a fight.  What else can he do to go to the southwest if he takes action at that time? Besides, we" He didn't dare to express Yuan Shikai's complaints, so he put the responsibility on the Ministry of War, glanced at the two people next to him, and lowered his voice  : "Isn't it planned for you? He Dehe in the south actually wants to steal the position of president. According to me, this seat should always be occupied by the old man. Come back when he is old, so that we can all leave something for our children and grandchildren.  Foundation is not.¡±

    His words made Yuan Keding very happy. Shouldn¡¯t the Yuan family be the president for generations to come?  But he didn't dare to show it on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Don't talk nonsense. If it spreads, it might cause some trouble. We are a republic now."

    "What kind of republic!" Wang Yitang's eyes were venomous. Seeing Yuan Keding's Adam's apple twitching a few times just now, he knew that Yuan Keding was moved by these words. He said, "I am disgusted with this republic and that "Covenant". This is not a shabby person.  Well! If we follow it, what do we need to do? Let Congress do it on its own."

    Duan Zhigui also sighed: "It doesn't matter what method. What we say now doesn't count! We have to find out what the old man's intentions are first, so that we can be prepared." After he led the conversation here, the three of them immediately stared at each other.  Yuan Keding, the latter waved his hand and shook his head and said: "Don't ask me, the old man has been bothering me these days and even refused to let me see him. Except for Xingcheng and Xizi, no one else was seen."

    "That's bad" Duan Zhigui said: "There is still a confrontation over at Wusheng Pass. After Xinxian was lost, Cao Kun had a big gap on his side. If the old man still hasn't made up his mind, he might  What a loss we will suffer.¡±

    Yuan Keding didn¡¯t understand military affairs, so he was shocked when he heard that there was a huge gap.  He quickly asked: "What should we do? Is it possible that there is nothing we can do?"

    "That's not true. As long as Anhui is captured, the siege will be relieved." Duan Zhigui shook his head as if he had become a famous general and said: "Hu Wantai and Sun Duosen in Anhui are both our people, don't think Bai Wenwei is a governor.  , if we really start fighting, Ni Sichong can kill him within half a month, but no one dares to move now."

    "Yes!" Wang Yitang added fuel to the fire: "If we don't come up with a charter, when the Congress opens in March, hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Beiyang and all of us will be killed by Yang Qiu and Song Jiaoren  It¡¯s time! When the time comes, they say there is too much military pay and they won¡¯t allocate it, or they will abolish it, and we won¡¯t even be able to get the votes to oppose it. Wouldn¡¯t that mean we have to wait for death?¡±

    Yuan Keding was also secretly worried about what you said, but the old man was very angry this time, and he didn't dare to disturb him, so he couldn't come up with a solution after much thought, so he simply asked Zhao Bingjun: "Aren't you the Prime Minister?  Is there no way at all?"

    Zhao Bingjun smiled bitterly. He didn't know how long he could be the Prime Minister, but he also knew that it was better to take a chance now than Lu Zhengxiang to resign while watching his position being taken away. He gritted his teeth and said: "There is no other way.  No, if you don¡¯t want to go to war. Then there is only one way.¡±

    "What way?" Yuan Keding's eyes lit up and asked: "Say quickly."

    Zhao Bingjun looked around and saw no one around. He lowered his body and suddenly made a cutting gesture with his palms turned into a knife. His voice was cold: "If you are not a poisonous person, you should just find someone to kill Yang Qiu and Song Jiaoren!" He saw the three people and said nothing.  , continued: "Yang Qiu has the final say in the southwest and the Yangtze River. If he dies, chaos will definitely happen! The Kuomintang side was originally a loose sand. Huang Keqiang lost all his energy after being beaten by Yang Qiu and few people listened to his words. Sun Dapao went  Japan will not be able to come back for a while, as long as we get rid of these two people, who else in the south can threaten the position of the president?"

    Yuan Keding swallowed hard and felt that his heart was about to jump out. He was a little scared and said: "This is a serious matter, so we can't act recklessly! There is no need to be afraid of Song Jiaoren, but Yang Qiu has a powerful army, and he has recruited them one after another recently.  I heard that the Yunnan and Guangxi armies are forming two new divisions If it is like what happened in Hankou last time, who can stop his army?"

    "What are you afraid of! Anyway, we are going to fight to the death, and in the worst case, we will start a war! What happened to his army of 200,000? We also have a small army of 200,000." Duan Zhigui just finished speaking, and Yuan Keding shook his head again: "There is no shortage of sergeants, weapons.  Arrangements are being made one after another, but war costs money! I asked Liang Yansun a few days ago, and he told me that all the money given by the British had been used up, and now we are waiting for the big loan to deal with the aftermath, and we can¡¯t get it from other places.  It¡¯s money to fight a big war, and if you have money maybe the old man won¡¯t have so many scruples.¡±

    Zhao Bingjun raised his finger and shook it, his eyes sparkling: "There is a way to make money! Yesterday I went to see the Japanese minister, and they promised to provide an emergency loan. Besides, they also had a grudge against Yang Qiu after Han Yeping was taken away. If we  If you take action, you will definitely not sit idly by and watch.If that doesn't work, just agree to write a few agreements with them, and then promise to return Han Yeping to them after the defeat. You will definitely get a lot of money, and maybe some cannons and ordnance.  "

    Wang Yi Tang Zao had contact with Japan. Last time he suggested that Yuan Shikai could find the Japanese to join forces to deal with Yang Qiu, but he was refuted.  This time I saw Zhao Bingjun also saying that the Japanese are good, and then said: "He Yang Qiu is hooking up with Germany and the United States. Why can't we sign this and that? I think there is nothing wrong with joining forces with Japan, not to mention Japan's  The interests are outside the customs. No matter what happens here, we still have the final say in the future. Han Xin can bear the humiliation, so why don't we just wait for a few years! But Yang Xizi's talkativeness ruined my good deeds. "

    Zhao Bingjun saw that Yuan Keding was a little moved by what they said, and struck while the iron was hot: "This matter may not cause much trouble. Just pay more to hire good people to do it?"

    "Aren't you talking nonsense? Who doesn't know that this kind of business costs a lot of money? Who can afford it now?" Wang Yitang was angry, but Yuan Keding jumped in his ears when he heard it. He is now the supervisor of the Kailuan Mining Administration, and every month  The kickback from the Japanese was a large amount, but the matter was too involved, and he was a little afraid to make a decision, so he hesitated and was about to ask again when a knock on the door interrupted several people.  He quickly asked the three of them to retreat to the inner room, because Yuan Shikai didn't like him to have too much involvement with officials. After seeing them avoiding them, he called out to come in.

    The person who came was Yuan Shikai's confidant. After seeing him, he said: "My eldest son, the president asked you to see him."

    "Why did my father remember to see me? What's the matter?" Yuan Keding was a little strange. Yuan Shikai didn't even see his sister these days, so why did he think of himself now?  Because he was usually very kind to the guards, the guards did not hide it and said: "It seems that I want to ask the eldest son, you and Yang Du to go to the south. They said that they want to invite Yang Qiu and Song Jiaoren to come to Tianjin. The president wants to meet them in person.  Meet them.¡±

    "You said my father wants to see Yang Qiu and Song Jiaoren?!" Yuan Keding stood up in surprise, glanced at the inner room and hurried out
