    While the two were chatting and laughing, they suddenly heard someone knocking on the door: "Master, there are urgent confidential items!"

    Sun Yuanqi's heart moved, and he quickly stood up to get the letter. After reading it in a hurry, his face became gloomy and uncertain. It was obvious that he had been informed of the important event in a hurry, and his heart was filled with ups and downs.  Yang Du saw this and asked quickly: "Bai Xi, what big thing happened?"

    Sun Yuanqi heard this and handed the letter to Yang Du: "Yuan Xiangcheng appears calm on the surface, but secretly he has begun to make secret plans and is ready to attack the Southern Revolutionary Party at any time. I don't know if he plans to strike first? Or if he wants to get rid of it.  Shall we go it alone?"

    Sun Yuanqi's attitude towards the southern revolutionaries is somewhat contradictory: on the one hand, he hopes that they can tolerate each other for the sake of the country, and that everything is harmonious. They should try to solve problems through legal means and maintain the vitality of the country, instead of frequently electrifying the country, holding rallies to protest, or even assassinating them.  On the one hand, he hoped that they would make a bigger noise and dance more joyfully, so that he could join forces with Yuan Shikai to wipe out these universal elements who only knew democracy and republic and did not know how to plan for the country as soon as possible.

    Who would have thought that just when he was hesitating, Yuan Shikai was already sharpening his sword against the pigs and sheep.  The letter I just received is a transcript of the minutes of Yuan Shikai's secret military meeting and the deployment of the strategy for the southern expedition.

    "Originally, the Beiyang Army was outnumbered, but Yuan Xiangcheng actually dared to adopt the three-way march strategy. It seems that he was preparing to make a desperate move!" Yang Du read the letter and drew a pen on the map: "The land route is divided into three parts.  Two routes, one using the Lu-Han Line to concentrate to the south, with Hunan, Jiangxi, and Anhui as attack targets. The force arrangement is that one part of the 3rd Beiyang Division will be stationed in the three towns of Wuhan, and the rest will be the main force to attack Jiangxi. The 1st Division of Henan and the Henan Division will be mixed  The brigade is a reserve force. Ni Danchen (Ni Sichong)'s troops, Yijun Zhao Zhouren (Zhao Ti)'s troops, and the Second Beiyang Division concentrated in the area of ??Licheng, Henan, and launched an attack on the troops of Bai Liewu (Bai Wenwei), the governor of Anhui Province.  Li Fuchen (Li Tiancai)'s first division of the Jiangnan Army in Hubei and Lei Chaoyan (Lei Zhenchun)'s Imperial Guard moved to Wuchang and Jingzhou to defend Hunan.

    "The other route is concentrated along the Jinpu Line to the south, with Jiangning and Suzhou in Jiangsu as the attack targets, and by the way, it will coordinate the actions of Anhui. The force layout is based on the 5th Beiyang Division and Zhang Shaoxuan (Zhang Xun)'s former armed forces as the main force, and the 4th Beiyang Army  The division is a reserve force. In addition, the Shandong Mixed Brigade is used to defend Jinan, and the Second Northern Expedition Army Xu Huhu (Xu Baoshan) stationed in Yangzhou is a diversionary force that disrupts the internal affairs of Jiangsu.

    "In addition, there is a surprise force on the sea route, which is prepared to be stationed in Shanghai with the troops of Sun Tuian (Sun Daoren), the governor of Fujian. If an accident occurs, the troops of the 3rd Division stationed in Xiling, Nanyuan, Dingzhou and other places in Gyeonggi will be replaced and transported to the south by sea.  But the land landing site was temporarily designated. By making such a big move without saying anything, it is obvious that Yuan Xiangcheng wants to determine half of the rivers and mountains in the south of the Yangtze River in one fell swoop, and then compete with you Baixi. His intentions are ulterior and his ambitions are extremely small!"

    Sun Yuanqi's face was as dark as water: "In the past few months, the divisions of the Beiyang Army purchased mortars in small batches from the Peking Iron Works and rifles and bullets from the Hanyang Arsenal. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. I just thought it was a military reform.  After that, the troops were changing their equipment, and it turned out that Yuan Xiangcheng had already planned it! It seems that not only our subordinate arsenals have received orders, but the Beiyang Manufacturing Bureau, Texas Manufacturing Bureau, and Fujian Manufacturing Bureau are all working day and night to make guns and ship them to various departments in Beiyang, right? "

    Yang Du frowned and said: "A few days ago, the "Da Feng Daily" in Shantou, Guangdong published an inconspicuous news, saying that the Ministry of War secretly ordered 18 field guns of various calibers and 1888-style fast guns from the German Krupp Artillery Factory  50,000 rifles and 4 million rounds of ammunition, and 14,000 1895-style Mannlicher rifles were purchased from the Austrian Steyr Company, all of which were regularly delivered within three months. At first, I thought it was a tabloid deliberately fabricated tidbits.  , in order to make people feel sensational. Now it seems that it is not groundless!"

    Sun Yuanqi said: "The newspaper said it was three months, but with long nights and many dreams, and changes taking place over time, Yuan Xiangcheng is determined not to wait that long. It is estimated that he will make waves in the next few days and look for excuses to use force. Half a month ago,  Sun also ordered Liu Mingzhao, Yin Changheng and others who were stationed on the Sichuan-Hubei border to prepare for war, and if necessary, go south to attack Hunan and other places. However, time was short, and I am afraid it would be difficult to achieve results in the short term. I wonder what Xizi had ingenious plan to stop Yuan Xiangcheng's actions.  Delay the time for a while so that our army can prepare for war calmly?"

    Yang Du slowly replied: "Since Yuan Xiangcheng has made such arrangements, he must be determined to conquer the south. If we want to delay the time, we must start from many aspects, such as delaying delivery at the Peking Iron Works and Hanyang Arsenal, and actively competing for the position of Su Du.  position, which is what the question is supposed to mean. In addition, we need to block him in Congress, because the problem Yuan Xiangcheng is most worried about at the moment is not the rebellion of the Southern Revolutionary Party, nor our threat, but the delay in Congress electing him  As the official president. After all, he is only the interim president now. After the formal Congress is convened, this "interim president" position will become very embarrassing.He assumed the position of prime minister and began to govern.  Only when you sit on the throne of prime minister can you be justified in intervening in national affairs, and can you play a greater role when the conflict between the north and the south breaks out.  Otherwise, if the delay continues like this, there is no guarantee that something will not change in the middle!  "

    Sun Yuanqi thought for a moment and then replied: "That's fine, Sun will take care of this matter in the next few days."

    Yang Du stood up and hugged Sun Yuanqi: "Then Yang first wishes Prime Minister Baixi smooth sailing in power!"

    Sun Yuanqi quickly stood up and supported Yang Du: "Secretary-General, you are too polite. Please give me more advice on what I can rely on in the future!"

    After saying that, the two couldn't help but look at each other and laugh.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
