"Keding, if you can figure this out, you are much better than before. Your brain is half open!"

After sighing, Yuan Shikai said again.

"You know, why didn't your father and I express my opinion?"

"this……"

Yuan Keding was stunned. He and Yang Du discussed the matter before it happened. To be precise, it was during the discussion in Congress. However, the matter happened afterward, and Yang Du did not discuss it in depth at that time.

"So, your place is only half open!"

Pointing to his head, Yuan Shikai, who was in a good mood, began to explain.

"Not expressing my position is certainly an intention to clean up the mess in the future, but you don't see that this matter is very beneficial to your father and me, well, it is also very beneficial to the country!"

Finally, Yuan Shikai still emphasized the word "country".

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs is going to send its troops to suppress the bandits. How could I not know that your father, Li Zhiyuan, wants to use the Ministry of Internal Affairs troops to expand his strength?"

"Dad, didn't you say that the Ministry of Internal Affairs can't control the troops, but the tax police can't?"

Yuan Keding asked tentatively, "Dad, if you come and go, isn't it still not in the way?"

"The internal affairs troops are transferred here and there, and as long as there are regulations, they can limit their troops, but the tax police are permanently stationed in one place. There are so many provinces in the country, and tax inspections in various places, if he is really allowed to build a tax

Police, I dare say that in one year, he can have at least hundreds of thousands of tax policemen, but the internal affairs force can have 40, 50, 000 or 50,000."

Looking at his eldest son, Yuan Shikai continued to explain.

"Li Zicheng wants to expand his internal affairs troops, so I will let him have his way. If he wants to expand his internal affairs troops, he must use bandit suppression as a reason. If he uses bandit suppression as a reason, he will definitely offend the provinces..."

"Uncle, what you mean is that after he has offended all the provinces, we can move to defeat Li in each province..."

"Confused!"

With a cold shout, Yuan Shikai seemed a little annoyed at his eldest son's stupid head.

"Li Zicheng has different intentions, so there are no different ideas in that place?"

After asking the question, Yuan Shikai lowered his voice.

"Whether the bandits are suppressed or not, it is extremely beneficial to the central government. Local governments fight tooth and nail to suppress them. This is called killing with a borrowed knife. The local governments are incompetent. After half a year of suppression, the generals are dismissed and the army is reorganized. What is this called?"

After hearing this explanation, Yuan Keding understood what his father meant and quickly continued.

"Kill for a reason!"

Nodding, Yuan Shikai took a puff of his cigar proudly, then looked at Yuan Keding and asked.

"Keding, there is a saying that a caged tiger does not worry, a pack of wolves swallows an elephant! Tell me, which side should your father and I stand at this time?"

"Dad, if... if because of this, a group of people in the area rise up to attack, then..."

His eyes narrowed sharply, and Yuan Shikai's face showed a look of calmness and dignity.

"They dare!" (To be continued...)
