Beijing Dongjiāo Minxiang, British ambassador to China, Barth, sent away the Russian ambassador who had just visited with a headache. In the past few days, I don’t know what conditions President Yuan used to bribe this greedy polar bear, which made Russia change its previous attitude of not opposing nor supporting Japan’s troops in China. It has become a voice of strong opposition to Japan’s increase in troops on the Liaodong Peninsula. The Russians have not only lost their identity as European military police, but also fell out of the ranks of Europe’s first-class military powers. They have lost their influence on the Far East China and Northeast China for many years. This has always been a pain in the hearts of the Russians, and also destined to an irreconcilable contradiction between Japan and Russia.

To be fair, Bart also opposed Japan's increase in its own garrison to Liaodong, but now he is in a dilemma and is difficult to make a choice. Russia is one of the allies of Britain's key support in Europe to check and balance Germany and Austria, while Japan is an important ally of Britain in the Far East. Now the weak empire's attention is mostly attracted to Europe. In the Far East, because of its short-sightedness, Germany has allowed Germany to strengthen its voice in the Far East. As a result, Britain has been hard-working for half a century in the Far East, especially China, has been facing strong competition from the Germans. For this reason, standing on the standpoint of the British country, Bart knew that it must strengthen its enlistment of Japan. This world's fourth navy and Asia's first naval power are also uneasy about Germany's strengthening its naval power in the Far East. A round of naval shipbuilding plans have begun to be brewed in the domestic country.

Barth had a headache

After the head, Russia is an ally that the empire must win over, and Japan now Britain also needs to borrow its power. If it were two years ago, Britain would like to have two allies to be dirty between each other, and then the empire would turn over from it to gain more benefits. But now everything is different. The Far East, especially China, is no longer China two or three years ago. With the democratic revolution in 11 years, overthrowing the Qing Dynasty's rule, the empire quickly supported Yuan Shikai on the stage of China's highest power, but, taking advantage of this civilian situation.

The outbreak of the main revolution also left other forces with the opportunity to expand. For example, France took the opportunity to obtain the right to build a 1,600-mile railway in Guangxi; the Russians took the opportunity to occupy many strongholds on the border of the Xinjiang border and extended their influence to every corner of the Xinjiang; Japan obtained the right to mine coal in Shanxi, and also took the opportunity to build a 2,100-mile railway in the northeast, and took the opportunity to increase its garrison in Liaodong during the Balkan crisis. The United States has increased its capital output to China by more than 40 million US dollars in the past two years, and has obtained the right to build a 3,000-mile railway.

Germany, the strongest opponent of Britain, Barth, like Jurden, has a headache. Why is a group of short-sighted politicians in China allowed them to expand their power and influence in the Far East? Do they really think that China in the Far East is not as good as India, compared to African colonies, Middle East, and Balkans? The Germans have shown well that they have the ability to turn China into Germany, India, South Africa, and become the most gorgeous gem above the German scepter. The ridiculous empire once influenced this country for half a year.

In the century, it has always been considered a potential enemy, and its position in the empire is only slightly heavier than some colonies in Africa and the Caribbean. Now, even the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which has no right to speak in China, has obtained nearly 3,000 miles of railway construction rights from China in the past two years, and the number of cargo ships traveling has increased by tens of thousands of tons. Every time he thinks of this, he thinks of the words he once said in the letter to Juerdian, a good former minister, who said, "The domestic politicians are now a group of pigs, and the pigs that are kicked by donkeys'

In this regard, Barth actually felt a sense of "loving my heart"

The Southern emergency power sent by Li Han was placed on the table. In recent times, for the railway issue of 20,000 kilometers in ten provinces raised by Li Han, foreign officials from Britain, Japan, Germany and the United States were running around.

o, no matter what countries do or think, this is undoubtedly an opportunity. However, before we could breathe a sigh of relief, this restless living country reached the edge of the war again, and the two most powerful forces of the central and local governments entered the war warning line in order to compete for Zhejiang. Zhu Erdian sent several very bad news from Hankou. Although the intelligence personnel of the British consulate in Hubei did not find out the news about the Germans, the intelligence personnel unexpectedly discovered that the ambitious young man seemed to have been ready for a full war. The transfer of troops and various materials had not stopped since half a month ago. Even some hidden deployments were even possible for military officers and intelligence personnel of the Hankou consulate to find out some of them. They could not grasp the specific deployment.

In his eyes, the old Yuan Shikai could ensure that the benefits of the empire in China would not decrease, but Li Han could achieve rapid increase. Before being transferred to China as the consul of Shanghai, Bart had been in Europe, mainland China and South America. Although he was not as familiar with China's national conditions as Yuan Shikai, he had not been rigid.

Frowning slightly, Bart actually began to consider adjusting the British foreign policy in China. Yuan Shikai's political fu has begun to deviate from Britain's control. Recently, Bart discovered that Yuan Shikai had begun to frequently contact the United States. What was particularly unacceptable to Britain was that he not only accepted several loans from Japan, but began to win over Germany in the hope of attracting Germany's attention from Li Han. Even Britain's allies France and Russia also clearly discovered that Yuan Shikai's political fu's trust in Britain has been shaken. After some contact, both countries obtained nearly a thousand miles of railway construction rights from Yuan Shikai.

Although he also understood that this was because the last time Yuan Shikai asked the UK for an additional loan of 20 million pounds, and the German Navy added two battlecruisers, under the strong demand of the navy, the construction plan of a main dreadnought and a battlecruiser was added. As a result, the government and financial tension had to find other aspects to make up for it. In the end, the domestic parliament not only stranded the plan to return China's Boxer Indemnity that had been finalized, but also refused his plan to provide at least 10 million pounds of additional loans to support Yuan Shikai to stabilize the situation in China. Because of this, Beijing Zhengfu believed that it was not as easy to talk to after replacing the minister, and it was obviously not as easy to talk to his old friend during the period of Juerdian.

For this reason, Yuan Shikai not only sent a telegram to the UK in the name of the head of state to demand that Zhu Erdian be appointed as the minister, but also gradually alienated the contact with Britain. In the past few days, he and local powerful Li Han were on the verge of war with the war, but in and out of the Japanese consulate four times in a few days, in and out of the Russian consulate twice, in and out of the US consulate twice, in and out of the German consulate twice, but only visited him once... The meaning of alienation is already very obvious.

Headache... In this possible reshuffle of this country, what choice should the British minister, who is the country's possible rise but cannot affect the country?

British Minister Barth was worried about Yuan Shikai, while Yuan was in the Presidential Palace, worried about the deterioration of the situation in the south.

Yuan Shikai walked around the room with his hands behind his back. His eldest son Yuan Keding stood behind him, with no expression on his face and his eyes hanging down. There was no one else in the presidential palace room like sleeping. There was only Yuan's father and son in the room. The room was also closed, making it difficult for outsiders to peek at the situation in the room.

Although he had considered whether Li Han would tear his face and compete with him for Zhejiang, he did not expect that the young man could not help but jump out of his white beard trembled less than half a year after the war ended. Obviously, his heart was very uneasy. Yuan Shikai thought he was ready, so even though he knew that Li Han was doing small tricks, he was secretly changing from the second brigade to the third brigade. He was a little worried but did not take the opportunity to attack.

Because firstly, the central government's deterrence to this strong local vassal was insufficient, and secondly, he did not think that the young man could squeeze out tens of millions of dollars to expand his armament after such a large scene in the local area. After the North-South peace talks, Li Han chose to stand on his side in Congress and a series of other events, saving him a lot of trouble. Although the old fox understood that these were just means, both sides would always find a day of exploring their goals, but at least both sides were cooperating to maintain a tacit understanding.

But I didn't expect that this tacit understanding lasted for only a few months...

"Yuntai, you are very sensible and give your father an idea. How should we solve the situation in Zhejiang now?" After all, my health has become worse and worse recently. Yuan Shikai didn't walk in the room for a long time, so he got a little panting and had to stop, sit back at the table, and glanced at Yuan Keding.

He had held several state meetings before and also gathered a group of brothers from old Beiyang to discuss it. However, Duan Qirui was silent than before. Wang Shizhen, who was invited by him, was only concerned about drinking tea. The ministers in the cabinet repeatedly advised him to restrain himself. None of the useful opinions could be given. This made him feel a little panicked. He had already started to regret it. He shouldn't have believed Lu Jianzhang's instigation and agreed to Lu Jianzhang to send someone to assassinate Zhao Bingjun who knew too many secrets.

Yuan Keding was riding a horse two years ago, so he stood up for a while and his body was slightly shaking. But in order to show his feelings in front of his father, he always insisted not to show his own performance so badly that he could only whisper stubbornly: "Don't be anxious, but Li Yizhi is not as powerful as the Kuomintang and has some troops in his hands, but it is okay to run a place for him. Where is his father's opponent in leading troops to fight? We, Beiyang, was promoted by you. The army has been in great strength for so many years, and the expansion in the past six months has been made. Didn't General Director Duan also say that his father's men were 300,000 under his armor. So Yuntai believes that we can talk about Zhejiang, but you must not lose the majesty of your president. You should also prepare for the fight in advance."

Frowning slightly, Yuan Shikai glanced at the eldest son who looked mature this year, sighed and shook his head

"How is that simple? Last year, for the Navy, I gave him the establishment and purchase rights of the Jiangfang Fleet and Li Yizhi, but ordered several forts to be built in Shanghai and Jiangsu, and ordered people to increase taxation and lika on ships traveling to the west, which made him hope to directly obtain an outlet, Zhejiang has become a fish on his chopping board.

ou, just look at the first division of the Zhejiang Army and put the Western Army into Zhejiang without firing a shot. You know that he had already made plans for Zhejiang, but the central government could not give up on Zhejiang. Now the whole country is staring at the Presidential Palace. If I show weakness, there will be the governor in the future. However, this battle is not easy to fight. If it is about power and strategy, then Li Yizhi is not as good as Li Yizhi. If it is about people's hearts, I am not as good as Li Yizhi. People all say that I am Yuan Shikai is the Cao of the time. I think he is very suspicious, like some of his opponents, he should cater to his voice. As a result, the army and various provinces are under his direct pressure, and the expansion of the army is much faster than us. Now, I can only mobilize the family of fourteen divisions. If the ones below are added, it can indeed raise 300,000 to 400,000, but a group of miscellaneous soldiers and crab generals will make me feel at ease to start a war."

After hearing Yuan Shikai's words, Yuan Keding said: "What my father taught is that, but more than half of our army have been replaced. If the equipment is still above last year, plus the expansion of the Dexian Arsenal and the renovation of the Gongxian Arsenal has been completed, Shanghai Jiangnan Machinery Bureau and Jinling Arsenal are now under the control of the government, which is only slightly worse than the Hanyang Arsenal. In addition, we now know Li Yizhi well, and pay attention to prevent him. As long as the foreigners have no objection, it is not a matter of time before my father cleans up him, and I have to see what the foreigners mean first."

Tao Chengzhang is just a clown who relies on the power of the Kuomintang to unify the government and orders, the Kuomintang must be eliminated.

"It's already very good that you can think of this. If it were Han Yun and Yuan Kewen, it wouldn't be a pity that you might not have found this. You have no qualifications in the army, otherwise you might not be able to inherit the career of being a father in the future."

Yuan Shikai was quite helpless. Now his direct line, the old Beiyang Army, has expanded to 14 divisions. In addition, the many inspectors, guards, and guards in those places, the armed forces that Yuan Shikai could control were nearly 32 and 3 armed forces. However, because of his previous distrust of the Baoding Military Academy and the military schools in various places, the army expanded too quickly, and he was no longer as armed as the old sixth division when he was the old. Now, Yuan Shikai’s biggest headache is that there is no one around who is capable and can fully trust in commanding him. He valued Cai E very much, and even helped him to the most important position in the General's Mansion.

The old Beiyang monster is already under the faction, Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang fights openly and secretly, Duan Shi looks down on Feng, Feng is not convinced, Duan Shi, but when facing outsider Cai E's seizure of power, the two factions are very tacit understanding. The Army Department and many old Beiyang generals join hands to resist Cai E's army reform plan. Duan Qirui is dissatisfied because he set up a general's office to compete for power with his Army Department, Feng Guozhang is also a little confused because he asked Wang Shizhen to give. You must know that Feng Guozhang's power was not as strong as Duan Qirui, and it was not because he took over Wang Shizhen's retirement and took over his current scale.

After Wang Shizhen made his efforts, he had cultivated himself for several years and became a carrot seal. No matter who spoke, he would just lower his head to drink tea, clearly not wanting to get involved in the muddy waters of factional struggles again.

The changes in Beiyang made Yuan Shikai firmly believe that "no matter how close the general is, it is not as good as his descendants." Therefore, he really hoped that his son could help. But at present, Yuan Keding performed the best among the philosophers. However, since he had never been involved in the military, this prestige was simply unaware of it. In addition, the account of his sending someone to order Zhao Bingjun to assassinate Song Jiaoren last year was exposed by Zhao Bingjun before his death. Now many old Beiyang brothers are very dissatisfied with him, the "uncle", so naturally they cannot share the worries of Yuan Shikai.

After hearing Yuan Shikai's sigh, Yuan Keding's mind was teleported, hesitated for a moment, and said, "If my father agrees, Keding is willing to go to Wuchang to be a lobbyist for his father and persuade Li Han to give up Zhejiang."

"Yuntai, confused" Yuan Shikai was furious, "What are you talking about? Li Yizhi has already started to dispatch troops and generals. It is clear that he will not give up if he doesn't take Zhejiang. This can no longer be resolved by negotiation. You have to use a knife and a gun... See you on the battlefield."

Seeing that Yuan Keding's face was a little shocked, he sighed, "Forget it, it was the biggest mistake I made in my life that I did not send your brothers to the army back then."

When Yuan Shikai started his career with the army, he had not considered sending his descendants to the army for training. But later he thought that China had risen from the Song Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty had developed to the extreme. So he had the idea that he asked Mr. Master to urge them to study hard. Now it seems that those old ideas really cannot keep up with the times. Now in wars, even those who are unparalleled in the army, who are like him and Li Han, can only stay behind to formulate strategies. How to fight depends on the officers, generals, literati who graduated from professional military academy... If literati do not have some talent, how can they know how to command these Western-style soldiers?

The room was quiet for a moment. After a while, the phone rings on the table. Yuan Shikai picked up the phone and heard the sound of Cai Ting, the outside secretary, from inside.

Cai Ting didn't say much, Yuan Shikai frowned and hung up the phone

"Kiding, you go and call the car downstairs for your father. I want to take a trip to Dongjiāomin Lane."

"Oh? Father, you still have to go out so late?"

Yuan Keding was a little surprised. Cai Tinggan was Yuan Shikai's confidant. He knew that he was responsible for Yuan Shikai's personal instructions. To put it bluntly, it is the secret of Si people. Generally, outsiders should visit him. Unless they go directly to the mansion to visit him, they must first report to him.

Yuan Shikai sorted out his clothes and picked up the coat placed beside him.

"Who else can be there so late? Are you still the Japanese who are shameless behind their backs?"

Everyone knows that Yuan Shikai was very disliked by the Japanese. When he was on the Korean battlefield, if a guard had not tried his best to block a bullet for him, he would have died long ago under the assassination of the Japanese assassination of the Japanese assassination. Therefore, even if he cooperated with the Japanese now, he would have been only

i reached the right and right method when there was no way out, so he even spoke with hatred: "If you take advantage of others' danger, Japan is the most embarrassing among all countries. This Japanese man is arrogant and told the mansion that I will come back later. The Japanese envoy, Japan, just called. It should be that what we talked about a few days ago, has received a reply from Japan... Forget it, I must have a temporary temporary expediency."
