Chapter 98 Private and Public(2/2)

, most of them supported the constitution. Without their support, would Tang Jiyao, a military general, still be a general?

Just like last month, the Ministry of War ordered Yunnan to send a brigade of soldiers to Jiangsu to train an expeditionary force. Originally he wanted to refuse, but the news came through the newspapers. Before he could refuse, the Kunming business community organized themselves to do something.

Farewell banquet, and middle and lower-level officers even petitioned to join the war. Although he was unwilling to send troops in every possible way, in the face of this situation, he could only choose to compromise in the end.

When resisting the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he could also use the words "Don't let people look down on the Yunnan people" to persuade everyone to suppress the bandits on their own for the sake of the Yunnan people's face, thus refusing the internal affairs troops to enter Yunnan. But now...

"Well, now, China is finally on the right track. The revolutionary efforts of my generation were not in vain!"

As soon as his voice fell, there was a burst of discussion in the room, and most of them looked as optimistic as him.

"...With the support of Premier Li of the State Council, Yuan Shikai may have no choice but to agree to the establishment of the constitution even if he is reluctant in every possible way!"

Then, Yu Kuiju's face straightened, he turned his gaze to Tang Jiyao and said,

"General, if the Yuan family is sincere in formulating the constitution, I think that with the heart of a general, I will fully cooperate. However, if the Yuan family attempts to seize our local power in the name of constitution-making, we have to guard against it!"

When You Kuiju said this, everyone fell silent. You Kuiju was Tang Jiyao's most trusted confidant. Although he seemed to be giving advice to General Kaiwu, in fact, it was Tang Jiyao who relied on Kuiju to

He clearly revealed his intentions and did not trust Yuan Shikai?

No, he is...

"Why don't we send people to attend the Constitutional Convention?"
