    Chapter 198 I¡¯ll tell him to stop!

    January 29, 1913.

    Today is the Lunar New Year, and the streets and alleys of Tianjin are already filled with a strong festive atmosphere. The overwhelming white snow has not slowed down people's expectations for the New Year. After the southwest storm three months ago, the whole of China has once again entered the beautiful and peaceful years.  .

    After experiencing the drastic changes in the year of 1911, people's minds have become the same as the whole country.  Compared with the south, the flavor of the New Year is stronger in the north. Although life is tight, the north is relatively stable under the rule of Yuan Shikai, so people are not so welcoming to the vigorous revolutionary wave in the south, and are even vaguely hostile.

    ¡°For example, there is a sea of ??people at the Tianjin dock at the moment. The three countries of Britain and Germany, which are the mediators of this meeting, each sent a large number of marines to separate the crowd. At this time, they do not want anything to happen to Yang Qiu and Song Jiaoren here.

    The inner circle of British and American soldiers is composed of a hundred guard company soldiers. Tianjin's special status prevents them from wearing guns, but they still hold military spurs and use their bodies to form a tight human wall. In the inner circle, Lei Meng and other personal guards are even more cautious.  To prevent the scene in Hankou.  Dozens of Chinese and foreign reporters all focused their spotlight on the two people walking down the gangway. However, Yang Qiu, who always likes to take the opportunity to promote himself and Southwest China, did not accept an interview this time. He got into the car specially used by the United States to pick up and drop off the talks.  inside.

    "Did you see it? This scene is even better than that of the President, and there are those soldiers. I have never seen Qiu Ba ruffian standing so straight."

    "Look, look, look, the one who got through the car door is the King of Southwest, right? So young? I think he is only in his early twenties. Could it be that the martial arts star is really coming down to earth?"

    "Damn Wu Quxing, if you really have this old beard, why didn't you come when the foreigners bullied us in the Gengzi years? I think they are capable, haven't you seen that Southwest and Lianghu are very stable? There are so many mud-legged people like us  The land has been allocated to all the children. Even if you don¡¯t have land and have the strength, you can build railways and open mines, and you¡¯ll be given ten pieces of silver a month.¡±

    "I said you're on the other side! Are these Nanbarbarians reliable? It doesn't matter if they make the south a mess, why do they have to come to our side? There were hundreds of thousands of bullshit revolutionary troops in Nanjing back then.  What you say is supposed to be peaceful, but when it comes to your own people, you rob your own people! There was a chaos and a fire almost burned down half of Nanjing. In the end, President Yuan allocated funds to disband the army. You said that the southwest is good, they  Did you make a small fuss? Tens of thousands of people were slaughtered by your Southwest King, and many were expelled! Do you still feel good about such people? Damn! According to me, President Yuan should be the one in this world.  At least we can live a peaceful life for a few days."

    Everything you said to me in the crowd was picked up by Ma Kui. Although many things were passed down by false rumors, it could still be seen that there were more people supporting Yuan Shikai in the north. When he frowned and was about to change places, he stood with him.  Chang Si, who got up, suddenly pulled him quietly and nuzzled at a few people wearing sheepskin coats.

    "It looks like he is wearing a beard outside the customs."

    "Don't care who it is, send someone to bite him and find out." Ma Kui didn't dare to neglect the important matter. Chang Si moved his fingers slightly behind his back, and several gangsters dressed as coolies squeezed past.

    Yang Qiu's move to the north was so important that all the National Defense Forces were mobilized. Although the Yangtze Gang was disbanded, the old foundation of the Southern Gang was still there. In addition, this time Miao Luo sent a special telegram to the court to request the Hongmen order for Yang Qiu's safety.  , so almost all the power that can be mobilized in the north came here.  After seeing these suspicious people being targeted, Ma Kui shook out his old cotton robe, folded his sleeves with his hands like the most common rickshaw driver in the north, and disappeared from the crowd of spectators.

    Next to the car, Zhang Xiaozhun breathed a sigh of relief until he got in the car. Apart from Zhang Taiyan and Gu Weijun who came for talks first, he was the only senior officer accompanying him on this trip north.  Seeing him sitting next to him with his eyes wandering from time to time, Yang Qiu patted him and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous. If you want to take action, you should do it after the meeting. The president still has the last glimmer of hope for us, otherwise he won't do it at all."  Will come to me."

    Zhang Xiaozhun rolled his eyes. He was not as arrogant as Jiang Fangzhen, but he couldn't help it this time: "Commander, why did you come here after knowing that we were going to deal with you? Don't you think we are too boring?"

    Yang Qiu has a habit of keeping new generals and officials with him for a while. Zhang Xiaozhun has been here for almost two months, and he is the chief of staff of the Guard Division. We have seen him a lot, so he laughs when he hears his rare jokes.  Said: "I want to go home to celebrate the New Year, can't I come? The person invited is the president, but don't forget that he is the central government! It is a right to mobilize local officials to Beijing. If you don't come, you have a guilty conscience and are separatist. Everyone in the world will criticize you.  My spine.¡±

    Zhang Xiaozhun obviously won't be fooled by him. He has his heart set on you. He can't think of a thousand reasons.  Besides, has Southwest China ever obeyed the central government¡¯s orders so far?  On the contrary, I was blackmailed by you several times  Jiang Fangzhen would have said these words directly. He did not dare to say so, but it was really uncomfortable to hold the words in his heart. In the end, he had to ask politely: "Commander, do you really think Yuan Shikai will compromise?"

    "meeting!"

    Yang Qiu narrowed his eyes slightly: "This is his last chance to delay. Even if he sends people to kill me today, he won't be able to move his troops until two or three months of preparation. So no matter what we propose, as long as we don't touch his bottom line  They will all agree."

    Zhang Xiaozhun nodded. Everyone knew that the man in front of him was the best at taking advantage of opportunities. The down-and-out Tang Jiyao had been exploited to the extreme, let alone Yuan Shikai, who was not ready at the moment and wanted to delay. There was just one thing he couldn't figure out. According to his age,  It seems that he still has enough opportunities to grow gradually. As long as he can manage the southwest for three to five years, Beiyang, which lacks heavy industry, will definitely not be a match. Moreover, there are rumors that Yuan Shikai has a physical problem. Maybe Beiyang itself will be in chaos. Why does he  But want to take risks?

    The more he thought about this, the more Zhang Xiaozhun felt as if he was being tickled by dozens of cats. Finally, he couldn't help but asked: "Commander, Xiaozhun wants to I want to ask you what you are going to do this time."  What?"

    "Leonong is wearing a military uniform, so don't be like politicians and beat around the bush. Although Yang is young and holds great power, he is not yet incapable of being listened to." Yang Qiu's mouth curled up slightly, looking at him and thinking, this guy still asked  He came out, but he was obviously much calmer than that guy Jiang Baili for being able to hold it in for so long.  The two clear eyes also made Zhang Xiaozhun feel slightly ashamed. It turned out that others knew what he was thinking.

    Yang Qiu's eyes passed through Zhang Xiaozhun and were projected out of the car window. The different bungalows seemed to make people feel like they were in a European town. Although he didn't mind the appearance of Western culture and architecture in the country, he could still feel the deep feeling in his body.  Feeling of powerlessness.  He knows better than anyone else that because he appeared and replaced the forces of Li Yuanhong and Tan Yankai in the past, Beiyang, which has lost the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, has been severely weakened. There is no way to guarantee its defeat militarily. The South cannot reach its pockets and is facing bankruptcy. There are also internal problems.  The situation of dissatisfaction with the distribution of power has emerged, so Yuan Shikai is in urgent need of external support.

    Although Zhu Erdian is around, the United States and the United States have caused rifts in the four-nation consortium because of themselves, and the principle of unanimity towards China is also in name only. The possibility of success in the aftermath of the large loan in the parallel world is very small.

    Judging from the news sent back by Chen Haohui, Japan is extremely dissatisfied with Sun Wen's delay in signing the agreement, so the ambitious Japanese will definitely use this opportunity to expand their interests in the north.  Once Japan takes over the Qingdao and Jiaoji Railways next year, its influence will spread throughout Shandong, and its circle of influence in Manchuria and Mongolia will definitely double!  Tensions in Europe have forced Britain and France to gradually shrink. This can be felt from the fact that Britain has continued to watch its own growth without taking action. A few years ago, the Leizhou Peninsula alone was enough to trigger the Far East Fleet to launch an attack on Guangxi.  The southare basically pro-Japanese. They are too far in the southwest. If they don't act now, they can only watch the country fall.

    Then what?  After the end of the European War, would Britain and France return to the Far East and be willing to help them force Japan to withdraw?  Absolutely not!  After the European War, the great powers will become even more crazy because of the huge losses!  I wish I could completely muddy the waters and profit from it. The huge surplus weapons from the European War will flow into the hands of domestic warlords at low or even unimaginable prices. At that time, my difficulty will be several times or even dozens of times more than it is now, and I will also face the entire white people.  The obstruction of the world!

    Facing Zhang Xiaozhun¡¯s longing gaze, Yang Qiu sighed in his heart: ¡°Run Nong studied conducting in Japan and Germany, right?¡± Zhang Xiaozhun didn¡¯t understand why he suddenly asked these questions, but he still nodded.

    "In that case, let me take the leap farmer test." Yang Qiu looked out the window with deep eyes: "Suppose one day Japan provides a loan of 100 million and equipment for five army divisions in exchange for the Lushun, Dalian, South Manchuria and Anfeng-Fengcheng railways.  The deadline is extended for ninety-nine years, the South Manchuria Railway Economic Zone will be doubled and two new railways will be built, and the island will be ceded at the same time. Japan will be allowed to freely enter Manchuria and Mongolia for mining, construction of factories for industrial use, or farming.  Obtain land ownership! The Presidential Palace, the War Department, the Navy Department, the Police and other departments must station Japanese advisers. The Japanese garrison in North China is doubled. The combined fleet enters Jinzhou. Finally, the Qingdao and Jiaoji Railways are obtained  .¡±

    Every time Yang Qiu said something, Zhang Xiaozhun's body trembled slightly. When he heard that the Qingdao and Jiaoji railways were gone, he quickly interrupted: "Commander, how is this possible?!"

    "Yeahno one thought it was possible."

    The long sigh made Zhang Xiaozhun even more puzzled. If he had just assumed it, how much helplessness would it take to make such a proud young man sigh like this?

    "Baili should have told you that Japan has been in contact with us. In fact, what I just said was Japan's conditions in exchange for loans and weapons. This kind of agreement is not only available to us, but also to the Democratic Party andShikai has received it!  You have just returned from Europe not long ago, and the situation there should be very clear. Once Britain, France, and Germany start a war, Japan will definitely follow Britain and take over the Qingdao Fortress.  Germany only has a few thousand troops stationed here, and it is impossible to stop it. At that time, Runnong will help me calculate how many troops we need to invest and how long it will take to regain our homeland.  certainly  Yang Qiu paused slightly: "We can also do nothing and continue the experience of losing our country after the Russo-Japanese War!"  "

    Zhang Xiaozhun was speechless when asked. If this hypothesis is true, then the strength of Beiyang will be enhanced after receiving the huge loan. Although there is heavy industry in the southwest, it is impossible to compare with Japan today in terms of scale and capabilities, so once this  Once the agreement is reached, Beiyang can last at least two to three years!  If the second hypothesis of the outbreak of the European War is also true, then the land north of Shandong will be completely enveloped by Japan. After the resources of Qingdao and Manchuria and Mongolia, Japan will be stronger. With its powerful navy, it can easily cut off the Bohai Sea.  The Strait and Jinzhou will even more support Beiyang to gain benefits!  At that time, the National Defense Forces in the southwest could only watch the country slowly decline.

    "I'm here! I just want to tell the whole country that I, Yang Qiu, have done my best to be benevolent and righteous! Tell Europe, the United States and Japan that I am not afraid of him, either openly or covertly! We in the southwest have the strength and ability to unify all of China! Whoever wants to borrow money alone bypasses us,  Just be prepared to lose everything!¡±

    Yang Qiu's eyes suddenly solidified, and his tone was full of excitement: "I'm going to tell him! Stop, I guarantee that he will continue to be the president! If he doesn't listen fight for the entire Southwest and pay the sacrifice of a generation, or  We will not let our country continue to lose in the hands of our generation!"
