    ¡°Dou Zhan said it well!¡±

    "right!"

    "It should be so!"

    The main hall suddenly became noisy, and Ruan Zhongshu's face was filled with color.  Duan Qirui's expression remained unchanged, and he asked coldly: "Brother Douzhan, are you ready to let the commander-in-chief and Sun Baixi completely break up?"

    "Uh?" Ruan Zhongshu was dumbfounded: Yes!  Jingshi University was Sun Yuanqi's beloved, Rou Jianjian, and he would even fall out with the court for the sake of the school.  If the Beiyang Army captures Jingshi University, wouldn't it mean a complete break between Yuan Shikai and Sun Yuanqi?

    Now that the world is in chaos, provinces have declared independence one after another, and the governors are plotting against each other for the sake of territory and interests. The revolution and the establishment of the constitution will be carried out while you are on the stage.  At this time, Sun Yuanqi concentrated the main forces of the 44th and 45th Associations, quickly defeated the two sieges of Shaanxi by the Gan army, and established the Gansu military government headed by Zhang Shiying in Pingliang.  After the 44th Mixed Association returned to defend Shaanxi, the 45th Mixed Association continued to march westward, intending to wipe out the rest of Ma Anliang's troops in one fell swoop.  Since the imperial court issued a decree on October 14, 1911, when Sun Yuanqi was temporarily appointed as the governor of Sichuan, it has only been more than two months since the Sun clan has occupied four provinces and has become one of the most powerful factions in the country.

    Of course, when it comes to having the strongest military force in the country, Yuan Shikai is the first choice, but this does not mean that he dares to make enemies of everyone in the world.  Due to various reasons, he was already very unpopular with the Manchu nobles; during the fierce battle in Wuchang, he also formed a serious rift with the revolutionary party.  If he were to be a fisherman again now, first clearing up the imperial guards, and then occupying Jingshi University, calling himself a loner, and offending the royalists and Sun Yuanqi in one move, he would really become a loner!

    Yuan Shikai was also hesitant: "Although the plane is a serious problem, if we break up with Sun Yuanqi because of this, it will be more than worth the gain!"

    Only then did everyone understand that the reason why Jingshi University dared to show off its aircraft to confront the Qing court was not only because it enjoyed a high reputation at home and abroad, or because there were more than a thousand loyal soldiers stationed in the school, but also because of the people standing behind it.  Sun Yuanqi owned the land of four provinces.

    Yang Shiqi suddenly interjected: "Zhongtang, a few days ago Sun Baixi sent a call to resign as cabinet minister of academic affairs. At that time, Zhongtang closed the door to thank guests for some reason, so there has been no reply. Now that Zhongtang is in charge, I don't know how to reply to him?  "

    Yuan Shikai said with a smile: "Sun Baixi resigned before, just to coerce Yuan to come forward and ask the court to withdraw the imperial guards besieging Jingshi University. It was not that he really wanted to resign. Now that Jingshi University has been relieved, his  Resigning is meaningless, so don¡¯t take it seriously, just call and express your condolences.¡±

    Zhao Bingjun reminded from the side: "Commander, I'm afraid it's not that simple for Sun Yuanqi to resign! According to news from Shanghai, Sun Wen and others are intensively preparing to establish the provisional central government of the Republic of China, and the post of director of education has been confirmed to be Sun Yuanqi.  Sun Yuanqi¡¯s close aide Yang Yongtai also arrived in Shanghai with representatives from Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu provinces, preparing to participate in the Federation of Provincial Governors¡¯ Representatives. It seems that Sun Yuanqi¡¯s resignation is not only to coerce the commander-in-chief, but also intends to change his position and join the revolutionary party camp!¡±

    Zhang Yilu paused and said: "Although Sun Baixi cannot govern the country with words or bring peace to the country with force, his scholarship and education are well-known at home and abroad, and he is powerful. He is a powerful scholar and famous person. Such people have always been  They are all the targets of the court and the rebel party's efforts to win over. If he switches to the Revolutionary Party cabinet, it will undoubtedly be a big blow to the commander-in-chief's reputation and the court's orthodox status. It will make people feel that we have betrayed people and the building will collapse. This time the commander-in-chief will  I deliberately concealed myself and didn't show up, and didn't say a word to Sun Yuanqi's plea message, just for fear of offending him too much. Now, no matter how hard I try to persuade him, it will be useless. What should I do?"

    Yuan Shikai let out a long breath: "We still need to comfort Liu, and do our best to ensure the peace of Tianming! If he continues to resign, we will not approve it. By the way, how is the negotiation between Tang Shaochuan (Tang Shaoyi) and them?"

    Everyone here naturally knows who the "they" Yuan Shikai refers to.  As early as when Yuan Shikai's army attacked Wuchang, he had secretly sent his close associates to start peace negotiations with the Hubei military government.  At the beginning of December, seeing that most of the provinces in the country became independent one after another, and the trend of republic was established, Yuan Shikai openly sent Tang Shaoyi as the plenipotentiary representative to go south to hold open and comprehensive peace talks with the Revolutionary Party.

    Zhao Bingjun replied: "Replying to the commander-in-chief, Brother Shaochuan has almost reached an agreement with them, and there is not much difference between the two sides. The governors of the military governments of each province all used the name of the revolutionary party to cause chaos.  They are even more like local chickens and dogs, and they cannot compete with our six towns in Beiyang, so they are unwilling to start a war. They only hope that the Republic will be achieved as soon as possible, so that they can be the founding fathers of the country in peace and legitimately occupy a province."

    Yuan Shikai asked again: "What are their conditions?"?How many items?  "

    Zhao Bingjun said: "That's right. It was originally five items, that is, confirming the republican government; giving preferential treatment to the Qing emperor; whoever overthrows the Qing government first will be the president; and the Manchu and Han soldiers from the north and south will each enjoy the preferential treatment they deserve, and they will live up to the enemy's harm during the war.  At the same time, he organized a temporary meeting to restore order in the provinces. Later, the Imperial Guard besieged Jingshi University, and Sun Baixi urged them to add a clause to the peace talks: ensuring the absolute safety of Jingshi University. Now that Jingshi University showed off its plane, the court did not  If you dare to act rashly, the safety of the school has been guaranteed. So basically it is still the same as before, and there are no major changes."

    Ni Sichong said: "Since they added one, we must also add one! Didn't they ask us to ensure the absolute safety of Jingshi University? OK! But we also have a condition, that is, Jingshi University must dismantle the existing aircraft and ensure that  In the future, we will not be allowed to develop or produce such lethal weapons and equipment that threaten the security of Gyeonggi. In order to ensure the long-term effective implementation of this regulation, we must be allowed to conduct inspections of Kyungse University at any time, and the school must not obstruct or prevaricate."

    Yuan Shikai nodded: "This can be added!" He then asked other staff sitting in the hall: "Do you have any objections to these peace negotiation conditions? Now tell them all together and let Shaochuan discuss them slowly.  !¡±

    Why is Yuan Shikai so confident and determined to win over the Southern Revolutionary Party?

    First of all, the military governors of the southern provinces are in different bedfellows, and each has its own little calculation.  If it is to resist Yuan Shikai's attack, for the sake of their own wealth and life, everyone can barely work together; but when it comes to the Allied Northern Expedition, it is like the Eighteenth Route Army's attack on Dong Zhuo at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.  Snobbery makes people fight, and then they fight each other."

    Secondly, Yuan Shikai's military strength was very strong.  Maybe he couldn't annex the world, but it was more than enough to resist the revolutionary army's Northern Expedition and fight against the revolutionary party across the river to rule.

    Third, the Manchu and Qing government has not yet been destroyed.  Although the Revolutionary Party quickly occupied half of the country in a stormy manner, the Manchu Qing government was as dead as a centipede under the shelter of Yuan Shikai's wings. Moreover, after all, the Qing government ruled China for two to three hundred years. As long as it survives for one day, it will never die.  In people's minds, it is still China's legitimate government, and it is very likely to make a comeback.

    Yuan Shikai took advantage of the revolutionary party's ambivalent mentality of wanting to consolidate its power but not wanting to send troops to the Northern Expedition, and wanting to overthrow the Manchu Qing government as soon as possible but not wanting to do it themselves, and pretended to be a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty.  Although he has already had the idea of ????peace talks in his heart, he insists on the constitutional monarchy on the surface, and declares to the outside world: "The monarchy cannot be changed. I have been favored by the country in this life. Unfortunately, the situation is like this, and I should sacrifice my life to repay it. The only way is to maintain the monarchy to the end."  I don¡¯t know anything else.¡± This forced the Revolutionary Party to continuously make concessions in the peace talks.

    Yang Shiqi pondered: "One of the conditions of the peace negotiation is that 'the one who overthrows the Qing government first will be the president.' According to the truth, the general is in the north, with elite troops under his command surrounding the capital. The one who overthrows the Qing government first must be the general. In the future, the country will realize a republic."  Government system, the position of president must belong to the commander-in-chief. But now Sun Wen is representing the Federation of Provincial Governors in Shanghai to prepare for the establishment of the provisional central government of the Republic of China. Seeing that the provisional central government is about to be established, and the Qing government has not overthrown it, the general  It is very likely that the president's position will go to his family. If the general overthrows the Qing government in the future, wouldn't it be one country and two presidents?"

    Zhang Yilu said: "According to Xing Weng, the Revolutionary Party is using the guise of peace talks to contain the commander-in-chief, deliberately delaying the time, and intends to join forces in the Northern Expedition?"

    Yang Shiqi shook his head: "Zhongren misunderstood what Yang meant! What I mean is that the Southern Revolutionary Party has many factions and they are independent of each other. The peace talks with us may only represent the opinions of some people. Now Sun Wen suddenly returned to the country and immediately started to establish the Republic of China.  The provisional central government is most likely inspired by another group of people to take the lead in forming a cabinet and gain status. Once he establishes his status and wins over enough revolutionary parties, our commander-in-chief will be passive!"

    Yuan Shikai frowned and his face gradually darkened.

    Zhao Bingjun suggested: "Commander, I must order Tang Shaochuan to question Wu Tingfang during the peace talks tomorrow. On the one hand, they said in the peace talks conditions that 'the one who overthrows the Qing government first will be the president.' On the other hand, they are eager to establish the provisional central government of the Republic of China. After all,  What means?"

    Ruan Zhongshu was not so polite when he spoke: "In my opinion, those revolutionaries only care about eating and not fighting. We need to give them some color to see! Didn't Lu Yongxiang's troops in the third town and Li Chun's troops in the sixth town capture Niangzi respectively?  Is it a peace pass? Why not let them join forces to attack Taiyuan, capture Shanxi as soon as possible, and use Yan Xishan¡¯s head to remind the governors of the southern provinces what thunderbolt means is!"

    Before everyone could decide, a guard suddenly burst into the main hall out of breath and handed over a letter in a panic: "Master, there is an emergency outside, and I am here to report it!"

    Yuan Shikai quickly opened the letter and took out the stationery. His expression changed drastically after reading the information.  Zhao Bingjun quickly asked: "Commander, what happened?"

    Yuan Shikai trembled and took a sip of the ginseng soup before he managed to calm down and said through gritted teeth: "Yao Baolai, the second commander of the imperial guard, heard that the regent had pinned the charge of besieging Jingshi University on him, and he  To be severely punished, in a rage, he took the fourth bidder and demoted Zhang Huizan!"
