    The news that Yuan Shikai wanted to hold tripartite talks surprised Yang Qiu, but it also showed that the north was indeed caught in internal and external troubles. Congress was stuck. He wanted to fight but had no money, and he might not win, so he had to seek help.  Negotiation is a means of delay.

    However, he was not in a hurry to return to Wuchang. He first contacted Sa Zhenbing secretly and selected 20 young people with high quality from the Nanyang Naval Academy and the Navy. The Chen Shao Broadband Team, also recommended by Sa Zhenbing, went to Germany for the training.  8 months of submarine operations training.  In order to break the Fujian gang's monopoly on the navy, he once again reached out to Zhi Gong Tang to recruit Chinese children who voluntarily joined the navy, went to Germany to receive one year of sailor training, and joined Bingwen and Chen Shaokuan to form the navy's first submarine force.

    German submarines burn diesel, trucks need gasoline, and tractors are currently powered by coal-fired steam, but the future trend is also gasoline. For this reason, he had to entrust Hangel to import tens of thousands of barrels of reserves in the name of Jiangnan Factory.  Fortunately, oil is not yet a strategic commodity, and gasoline and diesel are not very expensive. The real oil consumption boom will only surge after the European War begins, and there are discounts for bulk purchases. However, the reality of oil shortage forced him to  Consider entering Shaanxi in advance to control the Yanchang Oilfield, which is currently in a state of neglect and is also relatively shallow.

    After sending these purchase contracts back to Wuchang, he also received the financial briefing sent to him. Zhang Wenjing wrote two words at the end of the report very seriously.

    Bankruptcy.

    When embarking on the return journey on the cruiser Hairong on December 10, the news that Yuan Shikai invited Yang Qiu and Song Jiaoren spread throughout the Chinese political circle.  Whether it was the National Socialist Party or the Democratic Party, or the seemingly unrelated Constitutional Republicans and Progressive Party, they all sat on the table and carefully studied the meaning of this invitation to talk.  Newspapers began to analyze and discuss.  Thinking that this is the best opportunity to politically resolve the current domestic disputes, everyone seems to see the hope of true peaceful reunification. Even the microphones of the National Socialist Party led by Dai Tianchou expressed their optimism about this negotiation.

    The Democratic Party headed by Song Jiaoren said almost immediately that it would attend the talks, and Wuchang also sent a positive signal.  However, Wuchang put forward its own view on whether Yang Qiu would attend the meeting, believing that attendance at the meeting would only be considered after the meeting with the central envoy is over and Yang Qiu's personal safety is ensured.  In order to facilitate this peace negotiation.  Even countries such as Britain and the United States have actively intervened and communicated with the three parties on how to ensure the safety of the negotiation venue. The United States in particular is the most active and is likely to take this opportunity to become an important participant in the Far East.

    Just as everyone was having a heated discussion about whether Yang Qiu would go to Tianjin, three consecutive explosive news came from Beijing.

    On December 12, the central government officially agreed to hand over the area west of the Leizhou Peninsula, except Zhanjiang, to the jurisdiction of Guangxi Province, and also agreed to Yang Qiuxi¡¯s proposal to build Kangxi Province.  The most unexpected thing is that Yang Qiu was officially appointed as the southwest inspector, with full authority to supervise eight provinces and cities in the southwest, including Xikang and Jiangxi provinces.  This huge and unbelievable appointment swept through the entire China like a nuclear bomb, so much so that Zhang Xun was later appointed as the Yangtze River Inspector.  The news of supervising Lianghuai and Jiangxi became insignificant.

    Only a few people understood that Yuan Shikai's move was to use it as a favor after he could no longer regain control of the southwest, in exchange for a good reputation in the country to facilitate subsequent negotiations. Moreover, Japan has not been at peace in the past few years, and it has also been with the British.  There is a connection between people, so it is obvious that Yang Qiu should be asked to solve this hot potato.  Therefore, these three appointments made Tang Shaoyi and others who knew his thoughts even more worried, because they all knew that Cao Cao had never suffered such a big loss.  The sweeter something is, the more poison may be hidden behind it!

    This appointment indeed gave Yuan Shikai a good reputation, so much so that his domestic support skyrocketed.  For Yang Qiu, although he stopped the trouble of **.  But at least he had his status, so he sent a telegram to Tang Shaoyi while he was still on the river.  The Southwest United Council was formally established, and at the same time, people were sent to secretly notify the 17th Brigade stationed in Xikang to prepare for entering Tibet to counter the rebellion.

    ??Similarly, this trend also traveled across the ocean and arrived in Japan.

    On the deck of the Hinomaru, the sailors were busy preparing to dock.  This is an ocean-going transport ship with a displacement of 4,120 tons. Its mission is to travel between Luzon, Taiwan and Tokyo, bringing back various urgently needed raw materials to Japan.

    Chen Haohui was wearing an ordinary Japanese student uniform, leaning on the railing and quietly watching the Japanese sailors at work. The huge ship in the distance with its gun barrel shining brightly made him raise his eyebrows slightly.  Having spent most of his time since the uprising studying languages, intelligence and looking at photos, he recognized the battleship he had seen in the photos. The Japanese called it the Hizen battleship. It turned out to be the Russian battleship Letvezan, which had been captured and captured.  Repair enabled.

    To the Japanese people, it represents great achievements and national strength, and is a symbol of the glory of the Japanese navy. He used to think so, but after receiving training, he learned another explanation for this glamor and power  A burden, an overwhelming burden!

    The huge combined fleet is Japan's glory, but it is also Japan's biggest burden. It has swallowed up too many resources. Today, as the country gradually enters industrialization, Japan, which is severely limited by the lack of resources, continues to maintain such a huge navy.  , actually started the construction of two larger battleships again. It has to be said that some psychology is at work. It is the navy's swallowing up that has caused the land and sea dispute to become more and more serious. The resources that could have been provided to the people have been lost because of the new battleships.  Construction is becoming more and more tense.

    Especially after the dream of controlling Han Yeping failed not long ago, Japan had to rely on these ships to collect raw materials from everywhere, and also squeezed out precious foreign exchange to buy scrap steel everywhere, which once again increased the burden on the country.  However, even he found it incomprehensible that Japan would rather choose to build huge warships, but there were not many large transport ships like the European 10,000-ton ships. Instead, the commander ordered them from Jiangnan Factory in one fell swoop.  Six more ships were ordered from Yingde. Although they were all offshore ships of three to four thousand tons, it showed that the commander attached great importance to the sea and the shipping industry.

    When he recalled and analyzed it over and over again in his mind, there was a sound like a hard knocking heavy object behind him.  Tang Jiyao, who was leaning on crutches, walked out of the cabin surrounded by Liu Cunhou and others. When he saw him, Chen Haohui immediately lowered his head and pretended to be broken: "Captain. We are here."

    More than a month of living like a ghost made Tang Jiyao lose a lot of weight, and he became a lot slovenly. His eyes were even more bloodshot, which made the ferocious smell on his body aggravate.  Seeing the familiar Tokyo appear before my eyes again.  He pushed the guard away fiercely: "Don't help me, I'm not a cripple yet." The guard swallowed and hid aside, his eyes a little resentful, since he was defeated and injured.  Tang Jiyao's temperament changed a lot. He frequently beat and scolded those around him, and he was also obsessed with women. To this day, there are still two dancing girls sent by the Japanese when they took refuge in Guilin in the cabin.

    Seeing his appearance, Chen Haohui took out a check from his pocket and said: "Captain, what happened in Guilin is all my fault. I shouldn't have Oh! It's useless to say more. Thanks to the Governor, I can  The five thousand pounds I saved over the years to escape this disaster are my brother's apology. I left immediately after getting off the ship. From now on, I will never see the governor again."

    Tang Jiyao was a little moved when he saw him taking out his personal money. He knew best that Chen Haohui was not to blame for this, because he would have taken this step even if he was not encouraged. In his opinion, it was just bad luck.  What's more, Chen Haohui is a talent, and he can use his remaining savings at this moment, so he patted his shoulders and said, "What did Haohui say! Am I, Tang Jiyao, the kind of person who doesn't want brothers? If you hadn't fought to the death for me last time in Guilin,  Save, I have gone to see the Lord of Hell a long time ago. I dare not say anything else. But don't worry, as long as I, Tang Jiyao, have a bite to eat, you will not be missing! As for Yang Qiu A gentleman's revenge ten  It's not too late, we can fight back sooner or later!" At the end of the sentence, he clenched his teeth and his eyes became even redder.  He stomped the deck with his crutch: "He wants me to die, but I won't die! Don't worry, I studied in Japan and have some friends. Sooner or later we can go back!"

    Chen Haohui's trick of playing catch-up worked. Of course, he followed him by patting his chest and saying good things. He also took the initiative to put money into Tang Jiyao's hands, saying that it would be used as funds to kill him back in the future.  The flattering sight caused the Japanese sailors to murmur for a while. After the ship docked, they forgot all about it after lowering the gangway and were ready to enjoy the joy of returning.

    After Tang Jiyao took everyone off the boat, Chen Haohui pretended to scratch his head: "Captain, Japan is so big us." Chen Haohui's money made Tang Jiyao's face seem to be less serious, and he laughed: "Don't call him Commander  , From then on, we became brothers." He limped and seemed to be very familiar with the road, and continued: "Is it Haohui's first time in Japan? Don't worry, I dare not say anything else, but there must be someone here who needs us."

    Chen Haohui asked: "Where are we going now?"

    Tang Jiyao suddenly put his feet back and waved for a rickshaw. After he got on it, the corners of his mouth gradually raised and he spoke Japanese skillfully.  Chen Haohui was shocked when he heard Japanese. He had studied Japanese hard when he was under Zhang Biao. At that time, he was trying to study in Japan. After establishing the intelligence department, he received special training, so he was no worse than Tang Jiyao, but he was  He had never shown it before. He was shocked that Tang Jiyao was actually planning to go to the Democratic Party's event in Tokyo. He was surprised why he dared to see the Democratic Party?  You know, he is notorious now.  However, he still pretended not to understand at all, and scratched his head deliberately: "EvenBrother Tang, what did you say to him?"

    Although Tang Jiyao thought he could be used, he didn't want to expose all his details so quickly. He laughed and said, "Let's go. You'll know when we get there."

    When Chen Haohui followed Tang Jiyao to the Democratic Party Activity Center with a confused face, several people holding samurai swordsThe ronin also arrived at this small wooden building with a single courtyard. Just as several Chinese students were about to stop them from entering, the ronin drew his sword and held it against the door frame.

    "Unreasonable, we are here to receive guests!" A cold snort sounded from behind. Touyama Manchu, who was dressed in black robe and had thin eyebrows and an inverted eyebrow, walked over from behind and slapped twice in the face to make the ronin put away the knife.  He bowed and said: "Please take me to Mr. Zhongshan Qiao (you know, we will eat river crabs tonight). His old friend Liyun hopes to meet him." His perfect Northeastern dialect impressed several people.  The international students did not dare to mess around anymore and quickly sent someone to report inside.  Touyama Mitsuru seemed to be particularly patient. He stood under the cherry blossom tree in the small courtyard and admired the beautiful scenery of snow on the branches.

    Beside the tatami in the room, Chen Qimei was sitting on the floor in a kimono, and kept puffing out smoke. Jiang Zhiqing was also sitting next to him silently. Mr. Zhongshan Qiao, who was drinking tea, saw his appearance and said, "I hate the iron."  Yingshi, how many times have I told you, don¡¯t touch things like smoke again!¡±

    "Okay, no touching, no touching." After Chen Qimei was forced to resign as governor of Shanghai, she heard that he had come to Japan and followed him.  After handing the cigarette to Jiang Zhiqing, he sat up and threw the newspaper on the table: "Look, Dun Chu is the one who calls the shots in China now. Yuan Shikai didn't even invite Keqiang to the tripartite talks this time! I would like to ask  , since when have we all been represented by him?¡±

    Zhongshan Qiao has been in Japan for several months. The chaos in the country has made him a little worried and exhausted. He frowned when he heard Chen Qimei complain: "Dunchu also has good intentions, and joining hands with Yang Qiu is a smart move. You shouldn't blame him."  , only by uniting all forces can we finally achieve great unification."

    Chen Qimei, who knew his thoughts best, said disapprovingly when he heard these words: "Come on, how did you lose the position of the president? It's not that we have traitors among us! Now these traitors have become heroes, and we people are hiding here to live this life.  Live your life! What is this? What happened with Tao Huanzhang was not"

    "Shut up!" Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by shouts.  Mr. Jiao from Zhongshan had an angry look on his face: "I haven't settled this matter with you yet. No matter what, it is always wrong to treat your comrades like this." These words made Jiang Zhiqing next to him curl his lips slightly. Who could do this?  Nothing was found either.

    Chen Qimei saw that she had spilled the beans, so she couldn't bring it up anymore and had to continue talking about the three-party talks that were about to start: "Yang Qiu is now the inspector of the eight southwest provinces, and Yuan Shikai will definitely take action this time! That's why he deliberately threw this out  To confuse the outside world, I think you should return to China immediately to participate in the talks. Firstly, you can't give the limelight to others, otherwise who will remember us in the long run? Secondly I think this is a good opportunity.  , if Yuan Shikai takes action, we will contact Li Liejun, Bai Wenwei and Chen Jiongming on the grounds that he provoked a civil war, and join forces with Yang Qiu to make a revolution!" His eyes flashed fiercely, and he gritted his teeth and continued: "We will also take the opportunity to clean up our internal affairs.  wash!"

    "Yang Qiu, in particular, is an easy person. What if he continues to grow bigger?" Jiang Zhiqing asked worriedly.

    Although her nephew was working under Yang Qiu, at this moment Chen Qimei no longer looked like she had been tricked into joining forces by Yang Qiu. She said fiercely: "When the north is pacified, we can buy weapons from Japan and exchange loans. If that doesn't work, we can just let Han Yeping and Manchuria  Give them all to Japan in exchange for jointly sending troops to kill him!"

    Mr. Jiao of Zhongshan frowned. He had thought about the affairs of Han Yeping and Manchuria, and he was also a little excited about this meeting, because it was a good opportunity for him to re-establish political influence, but he would not be able to rashly return to China to join.  Jiang Zhiqing saw that he wanted to save face and said: "It is better to let Brother Yingshi send a telegram to Beijing. Yuan Shikai is now at an obvious political disadvantage. Sir, if you want to attend, he will definitely welcome you, so as to suppress the other two factions."  "

    These words moved him quite a bit. Just as he was about to speak, a cry suddenly came from outside. Jiang Zhiqing opened the door and the student came in. He bowed like a Japanese and reported: "Sir, there is a man outside who calls himself Liyun."  There are some ronin who want to see you."

    "Liyun!" Mr. Jiao Zhongshan and Chen Qimei looked at each other, and both saw the surprise and excitement deep in each other's eyes
