There was dead silence in the main hall.
After a long time, Duan Qirui sighed: "I didn't expect this to happen! Yao Baolai was really capable. He actually took away the most powerful fourth standard of the Imperial Guard. Now we are in trouble. !¡±
Duan Qirui said this because he knew the composition of the Imperial Guard very well:
The soldiers of the first, second, and third ranks of the Imperial Guard mainly come from the Eight Banners of the Capital and the bannermen of the Old Summer Palace, Jianrui Camp, and the Internal and External Firearms Battalion. Most of the officers are transferred from the First Town of the Capital. Most of them are team officers, platoon leaders, and above. As a bannerman, his combat power is very weak, almost negligible. Moreover, these people were die-hard loyal to the imperial court, and even if they were pulled over by Yao Baolai, it would be difficult for them to use them.
In contrast, the fourth mark is completely different. The soldiers of the fourth standard are all farm children from Zhili and Shandong. They are physically strong, train hard, have a tenacious will, and their combat power cannot be underestimated. Their purpose of joining the army was to eat and get paid, and they would work with whoever gave them more money. It had nothing to do with loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.
Ni Sichong also shook his head and said: "Previously, the entire imperial guard army pressed forward and failed to capture Jingshi University for ten days. Now Yao Baolai has led a group of troops to defect to Zhang Huizan. The strength of the troops is decreasing, and I am afraid that the imperial court will no longer be able to control it. The ability of the University of Economics and Management. If everything goes well, it would be fine. At most, the Empress Dowager Longyu and the Regent would not be able to eat during the day and sleep well at night. If Sun Yuanqi holds a grudge, it will be troublesome! The Imperial Guard is already 708 After the fall, Jiang Guiti's Yijun was on guard against the 20th Town and the Second Mixed Association in the Luanzhou area, which had signs of rebellion. They couldn't hope for a while. At this time, Zhang Huizan's command was the only one near Gyeonggi. Don't forget. It is said that Zhang Huizhan sent troops to attack the capital, even if he sent planes to hover over the capital every day, the court would not be able to bear it!"
Yang Shiqi thought further: "Even if Sun Baixi doesn't have this intention, when the Southern Revolutionary Party hears the news, they will appoint officials and make promises to encourage him to send troops, right? In order to make the general agree with the republic and overthrow the court as soon as possible, they can give up the position of president. . For the same purpose, will they also offer Sun Baixi the position of president? In their opinion, it is all a gift anyway, and giving it to the commander-in-chief should be no different from giving it to Sun Baixi, right?"
Yuan Shikai put down the soup bowl: "Everyone, don't talk about what happened to Sun Baixi and the Revolutionary Party, let's discuss how we should deal with it next!"
Zhao Bingjun said: "Commander, we should start from two aspects. In the south, we also need to let Tang Shaochuan talk to them. Regarding Sun Wen and others' formation of the provisional central government of the Republic of China, we should question whether we should reprimand or reprimand. The more this time, our attitude must become even tougher! If necessary, we can order the Beiyang Army and Navy along the Yangtze River in Hubei to take action to put pressure on the revolutionary party and strive to reach a peace agreement before Sun Wen's interim central government is established. Of course, demolishing Jingshi University Conditions such as aircraft and stopping the development and production of weapons do not need to be mentioned in the peace talks for the time being. Anyway, there will be many opportunities after the commander-in-chief becomes the president.
"In the north, we must quickly dispatch a town of Beiyang troops to defend the capital. The sooner the better. We must not let Zhang Huizhan's army dominate the capital near the capital. Once the peace between the north and the south is reached, we will use troops to force the Qing emperor to abdicate and invite the general to sit on the throne. The position of president. Then we will reorganize our armaments, strengthen our troops, and gradually clear up the mess from north to south."
Yuan Shikai nodded slightly: "What Zhi'an said is very much in line with what I want, but our army is now scattered in Hubei, Henan, Zhili, Shanxi and other places, and its strength is low. I'm afraid it will be difficult to mobilize a town's troops to Beijing at the moment, right?"
Zhao Bingjun said: "As for how to deploy the troops, we have to ask Brother Zhiquan for advice!"
Duan Qirui was also unyielding: "I think it is best to transfer Li Chun to the Sixth Town."
Yuan Shikai asked curiously: "Why is it the Sixth Town? Although the Sixth Town is Old Beiyang and has the six-standard troops of the Two Associations, it just experienced a rebellion not long ago, and thousands of troops were taken away by Zhang Shiying. Its morale was low and its strength was greatly reduced. . Now we are passing through Shanxi together with the Third Town, why should we transfer them to Beijing?"
Duan Qirui said: "After Yao Baolai surrendered to Zhang Huizan, the strength of Jingshi University was about 3,000, and they could be organized into a mixed association with more than enough defense but not enough offensive power. Our deployment of troops this time is mainly for the purpose of intimidation, not actual attack. We must fight. Furthermore, Shanxi is already an abandoned son of Sun Baixi. Yan Xishan¡¯s military strength alone is simply not enough to resist the attack of Lu Yongxiang¡¯s troops. Without the help of the Sixth Town, at most Lu Yongxiang¡¯s troops can delay a little longer and It does not affect Shanxi's ability to become the commander-in-chief's bag. Therefore, it is most appropriate to recruit the sixth town, which has suffered a heavy defeat and suffered losses."
After thinking for a moment, Yuan Shikai nodded and replied: "Just do what Zhi'an and Zhiquan said, let Tang Shaochuan continue to talk to the revolutionary party, and then send a telegram to the returning troops from the third town to enter Beijing. But how should the affairs in Beijing be handled? Yuan Shikai was subject to The favor of the country cannot bear to follow the example of Cao Mengde and Sima Zhongda, taking over the world at the hands of orphans and widows.¡±
Zhao Bingjun immediatelyHe stood up and said: "Commander, God is to blame for his rebellion! We all know that the commander-in-chief is loyal to the court, and the sun and the moon can tell. But now the situation is critical and there is no other way. Even if the constitutional monarchy is implemented immediately, it will not work. Save today's danger. If you persist in insisting on the constitutional monarchy, fight with the revolutionaries, and finally defeat both the north and the south, and both the Manchu and Han Dynasties will be destroyed. By then, even if the commander wants to save the lives of the queen mother and the emperor, he will not be able to do so. What kind of loyal minister can he be? What? For the current plan, only by taking the path of a democratic republic and striving for the reunification of the north and the south can we preserve the country and thereby preserve the royal family. The commander-in-chief only needs to hold talks with the Southern Revolutionary Party on the one hand and strive to obtain preferential treatment conditions after the royal family abdicates; I implore the emperor to abdicate voluntarily and preserve the descendants of the royal family for eternity. This will fulfill the duty of a loyal minister."
Yuan Shikai didn¡¯t comment on Zhao Bingjun¡¯s proposal, he just touched his beard and said nothing.
Zhao Bingjun added: "As for how to persuade the Queen Mother to agree to abdicate, my subordinates think that it should be done in three steps. First, ask Xing Weng, Zhong Ren and others to gather talented people to form a 'Republic Promotion Association' in the Beijing and Tianjin areas to build up momentum to promote the Republic. Let the imperial court feel that democracy and republic are the aspiration of the people and the general trend. After the North-South peace agreement is reached, the Beiyang generals and the governors of various regions will jointly telegraph the imperial court, requesting that an edict be issued to declare China and foreign countries and establish a republican political system. This is the second step. etc. When the Queen Mother, the Prince Regent and others are in a state of confusion, it is the day when things are ready and the situation is ripe. At that time, the commander-in-chief will use the name of the cabinet to request the emperor to abdicate. Coupled with the preferential treatment conditions for the abdication of the royal family, it is guaranteed to be successful!"
By the way, not long after Yuan Shikai received the secret report, Sun Yuanqi also received an urgent call from Zhang Huizan.
"Yao Baolai led the fourth batch of the Imperial Guard, nearly two thousand men, to surrender? As soon as we showed off the plane, the Imperial Guard retreated, and then Yao Baolai surrendered. Xizi, is there any fraud here?" Sun Yuanqi asked in surprise. road.
Yang Du fanned the paper fan and thought for a moment before replying: "In my opinion, Yao Baolai's surrender should be sincere! Why? First of all, Zai Tao ordered the siege of Jingshi University. Now that the matter has been exposed, Zai Feng must find someone People came out to top the vat. But only a few people such as Liangbi and Yao Baolai could mobilize the imperial guards, and ordinary Biaotong could not do it. Yao Baolai was a Han nationality and had always been marginalized in the imperial guards of bannermen everywhere. This time It makes sense to pull him out and jack the tank.
"Secondly, as long as one is discerning, it is not difficult to see that the imperial court is at the end of its rope. But we occupy one side with strong strength and prosperous development. As a dignified co-president, Yao Baolai would not be ignorant of the general trend, and he is willing to work undercover for the imperial court and take on the deep hatred with us. .
"Third, according to the China Broadcasting Corporation's intelligence, Yao Baolai is more inclined to democracy and republic, which gives him the motive to defect. Of course, when Yao Baolai and others have just arrived, they will inevitably feel a little uneasy. We must consolidate their power and Only by eating it for profit can I make them use it without any second thoughts!"
Sun Yuanqi said: "In this case, they can be ordered to form the 47th Mixed Association. Zhang Huizhan's unit will be designated as the 93rd Infantry Division, and the original Imperial Guard's 4th Division will be designated as the 94th Infantry Division. Yao Baolai will be appointed as the commander-in-chief, and Zhang Huizhan will be appointed deputy. The associate commander also serves as the 93rd commander, and Tian Xianzhang, the former fourth commander of the Imperial Guard, is appointed as the 94th commander. All officers and soldiers will receive an additional two months' pay to encourage them."
Chen Xiangyun suggested: "Sir, after Yao Baolai surrendered, the imperial guards were no longer able to resist our army's attack. Now, if there are no other troops near Gyeonggi, why not order the 47th Mixed Association to march eastward and defeat the imperial guards? Pressure the capital. Even if it cannot be defeated, it can be surrounded by infantry, and then planes can be sent to bomb it in turns. As long as it is properly arranged, Beijing can definitely be captured before the Qing reinforcements arrive!"
Sun Yuanqi was quite moved at first, but he quickly rejected Chen Xiangyun's proposal: "No! Although Beijing is the key point of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it is also the national political center, an important commercial town, and the ancient capital of four dynasties. It is densely populated and has many historical sites. If The use of aircraft bombing will definitely result in the destruction of life and death. We will also become the target of public criticism! For a culturally famous city like Guangfu, it is best to resolve it through peace talks rather than using force."
Chen Xiangyun said hurriedly: "Sir, those who do great things must not be benevolent as women! Remember when the Qing government sent troops to attack Jingshi University, never thought that it was a famous university? Our bombing of the capital is just repaying kindness with kindness. Just complain!"
Sun Yuanqi shook his head resolutely: "No, absolutely not! There is no need to say this suggestion again."
Chen Xiangyun frowned and thought: "Sir, in fact, there is no need to bomb the palace or hurt the people, and we can capture Beijing immediately! In more than two months since the First Uprising in Wuchang, more than ten provinces across the country have successively declared independence, which shows that the Qing Dynasty The people of the imperial court are divided and collapse is imminent. The reason why they are able to survive until now is entirely because Yuan Weiting commanded the Beiyang Army to seal every loophole. As long as Yuan Weiting is eliminated, the Qing court will be destroyed immediately. In order to avoid the Lord's intercession, Yuan Weiting deliberately concealed his traces and wanted to eliminate It will not be easy to get rid of him. Now that I have heard that he has appeared in Beijing and started to take charge of politics, it will be easy to find his residence. Just use a plane to blow up Yuan Shikai, and all other problems will be solved!"
Sun Yuanqi was stunned: A beheading operation? Targeted killing? Brother, your military thinking is too advanced! (To be continued.
