    Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Cao Kun did not try to hide it at the moment, so he repeated what Sun Yuanqi said word for word.

    When they heard Sun Yuanqi's bold words, "It is still difficult for all the ministries under his command to deal with the Japanese army, but it will definitely not be a problem to deal with several divisions of the Beiyang Army." Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang, Zhou Ziqi and others present all looked a little confused on their faces, but they could not refute it clearly.  , because the previous Constitutional War has fully confirmed this: At that time, Sun Yuanqi only relied on the 47th Mixed Brigade and the Shanxi Army's First Mixed Brigade to easily annihilate a mixed brigade of the Beiyang Army (Zhang Jiuqing's cavalry  The Third Mixed Brigade), defeated an integrated division (Cao Kun's Third Division of the Central Army), and forced the surrender of an integrated division (Cai Chengxun's First Division of the Central Army).

    Although there is an element of manipulation and fraud, "The Art of War" has already stated clearly: "A soldier must be deceitful." Naturally, you have to use all possible means to fight, not to mention that everyone knows that Sun Yuanqi showed mercy!  If Sun Yuanqi really wanted to be cruel, they might not be able to get together so neatly!  ¡ª¡ªAt least Cao Kun would not be able to escape safely.

    To say the least, even if they could get together, they would definitely not be in the capital, because Sun Yuanqi's 47th Mixed Brigade and Cai Chengxun's First Division had already crossed Zhangjiakou and were only a day or two away from the capital; while Jingshi University temporarily  The assembled brigade is even closer.

    Taking a step back, even if they can desperately defend the capital, the capital will definitely not be as complete as it is now.  You must know that Sun Yuanqi has mobilized hundreds of planes across the country to gather around the capital. As long as he gives the order, he is guaranteed to blow up this political center and bustling place for nearly a thousand years into a disaster movie scene in three to five days.

    After fully witnessing the tyrannical combat power of Sun Yuanqi's ministries through extra-oral battles, the originally arrogant and defiant Beiyang Army generals also lost their temper.  Even if he heard the threat in Sun Yuanqi's words, he could only pretend to be deaf and dumb at this moment.

    After Cao Kun finished retelling, Duan Qirui thought for a while and then asked Wang Shizhen: "Brother Qingqing, Sun Baixi suddenly proposed a peace proposal after the great victory, and he was moved by Beiyang with affection and reason.  He threatened him with troops and torture. What do you think his intentions are? How should we respond?"

    Wang Shizhen waved her hand and said: "Brother Yu has retired to the countryside long ago and is not interested in worldly affairs. Now that you meat-eaters are plotting against you, how can I, a village man in the mountains, do anything about it? Furthermore, the commander-in-chief sent people to invite him several times, but Brother Yu didn't even respond.  Now that the commander-in-chief has just passed away, I jumped out to point fingers. If Commander-in-Chief Quanxia knew about it, what would he think of me, Wang Shizhen? Therefore, both in public and in private, brother Zhiquan should keep his mouth shut. Brother Zhiquan, don¡¯t make it too difficult for me! "

    Duan Qirui said: "Brother Pinqing, what you said is wrong! This matter is related to the life and death of Beiyang. As a member of the group, how can you stay out of the matter? Even if Marshal Quanxia knows about it, I definitely hope that you can take the initiative to stand up and solve the problems for Beiyang.  . So you should give advice and suggestions whether I am hiring a senior official or a private minister. How can you just sit back and watch in silence?"

    Wang Shizhen did not answer, but shook her head decisively.

    Duan Qirui had no choice but to turn around and ask Feng Guozhang, the governor of Zhili: "Brother Huafu, what is your opinion?"

    Feng Guozhang, known as the "Dog of the North", replied slowly: "The peace talks are of no importance to us, and we can even say that we are happy to hear them, because our morale is low and we are short of weapons, and it is difficult to resist Sun Baixi's aggressive offensive.  If it drags on for a year or two, although there may not be a chance to make a comeback, it will definitely not be as embarrassing as today. But the key to the peace talks is not that we wait, but depends on the wishes of Brother Zizhenxian. After all, Sun Baixi named  I want to attack Shandong!"

    Zhou Ziqi did not wait for Duan Qirui to ask questions, and took the initiative to answer: "As long as you feel that the peace talks are beneficial to our Beiyang, I have no objection."

    "Huh?" Everyone couldn't help but be surprised: It's rare to see a noble man these days who can regard the position of governor as a piece of shit!  You must know that Li Chun turned against Yuan Shikai for the position of governor of Ganxi, not to mention that Jiangxi is far less prosperous than Shandong?

    Duan Qirui was also a little surprised, and then advised: "Brother Zizhen, please don't wrong yourself too much. If you don't agree, we can still talk to Sun Baixi again!"

    Zhou Ziqi sighed: "The reason why I want to give up Shandong is not because of my noble character, but because of two considerations: on the one hand, as Brother Hua Fu said, the commander-in-chief has suddenly passed away, and the morale of Beiyang is low.  Coupled with the severe shortage of weapons and food and wages, it is impossible to compete with Sun Baixi. Instead of angering Sun Baixi and letting him attack North China with overwhelming force, it is better for us to accept peace talks in exchange for peace in Beiyang for a year or two, recharge our batteries and wait for the opportunity.  , in an attempt to make a comeback.

    "As for the second reason, that is that Japan's conspiracy in Shandong was not deliberately sensational by Sun Baixi.I heard it, but it is indeed true.  In recent months, Zhou had frequently received secret reports from various prefectures and counties, saying that Japanese spies were surveying the terrain and spying on intelligence in the area under his jurisdiction. At the same time, the German army in Jiaozhou was also intensively accumulating food, ammunition, and building fortifications.  The "Three Civil Treaties" signed by Zhao Zhi'an and the Japanese minister are needless to say.  I think once the European War breaks out, there will be a fierce battle in Shandong.  Since Sun Baixi is determined to resist foreign enemies, why should we step forward to be such evildoers?  "

    "Brother Zizhen is really loyal to the country!" Duan Qirui couldn't help but praise, although he didn't know where the public loyalty to the country was reflected.  Then he asked with concern: "Sun Baixi asked you to choose one of the positions of governor of Shaanxi and cabinet chief. I wonder which one would you like more?"

    Zhou Ziqi said: "I am about to ask Chief Zhiquan for advice!"

    Duan Qirui hurriedly gave in and said: "Brother Zizhen is too polite. In fact, Duan knows very little about this. However, a fool will always get something after all his considerations, and Duan has also been in the cabinet for some time, so he can do it on his behalf."  Analyze the plan. Let¡¯s talk about the governor of Shaanxi first. The former governor of Shaanxi, Zhao Xingzhi, was Sun Baixi¡¯s servant, student, and brother-in-law. His loyalty to Sun Baixi was naturally unquestionable. The successor governor Zhang Yuhe (Zhang Shiying) was originally regarded as my Beiyang Middle School  In the late Qing Dynasty, he and Wu Shouqing (Wu Luzhen) defected to Sun Baixi after the failure of the Zhengding Uprising. He had always been highly regarded by Sun Baixi and served successively as associate commander and governor of Gansu. He was also loyal to Sun Baixi.

    "As for the other important military and political officials in the province, they are either relics of the former Qing Dynasty or students of Sun Baixi. Only the Chief of Civil Affairs Chen Yangzhu (Chen Huan) has a close relationship with me in Beiyang. But there is intelligence that the person who persuaded Tang Yunting (Tang Tianxi) to rebel that day  It is Chen Yangzheng. I guess this incense feeling has disappeared now. After two or three years of management by these people, the entire Shaanxi has become like an iron bucket, which cannot be penetrated by needles or poured by water. I guess after you go,  I can only be a Taiping governor who looks down on others!"

    Feng Guozhang added: "Moreover, to the west of Shaanxi is Gansu controlled by Cheng Huchen (Cheng Ziyin), to the east is Shanxi controlled by Zhao Xingzhi, to the south across the Qinling Mountains is Sichuan controlled by Yan Baichuan (Yan Xishan), and to the north is Feng Huanzhang (Feng Jishan)  ) and the Kulun authorities backed by Tsarist Russia are surrounded by dead ground on all sides, with no room for maneuver at all!"

    Duan Qirui nodded and continued: "Let's talk about the chief cabinet minister. Although it has been nearly a year since Sun Baixi formed the cabinet, and during this period he experienced major events such as Sun Huang's rebellion, the Southern Expedition to quell the rebellion, and the congressional disputes, the cabinet members are basically stable, even if the Kuomintang's  Cai Heqin (Cai Yuanpei), our Beiyang Lu Zixing (Lu Zhengxiang), and Chen Duoshi (Chen Zhenxian) all still remain in office. It is estimated that Sun Yuanqi has no plans to adjust the cabinet at the moment. To say the least, even if Sun Baixi wants to adjust the cabinet, I am afraid he is unable to do so, because now the Congress  Already exist in name only.

    "After all the calculations, now only Wang Liangchou (Wang Chonghui) has fled overseas, leaving the position of the Chief of Justice vacant. If Zizhen Xiandi comes to Beijing to serve as the Chief of the Cabinet, he will either serve as the Chief of Justice, or he will be with Meng Yongsheng of the New China Party (  Meng Zhaochang) to serve as the Minister of Industry and Commerce, there are only two possibilities. In other words, whether it is the Governor of Shaanxi or the Chief Cabinet Secretary, they are actually useless things that have no meat to eat and are a pity to throw away!"

    Zhou Ziqi frowned and said, "What does Director Zhiquan mean?"

    Duan Qirui said: "Duan thinks Brother Zizhen might as well talk to Sun Baixi and see if he can appoint you as the Chief of Staff or the Secretary-General of the Presidential Palace, or even the Deputy Chief of Staff, which are better than those two useless pieces. What do you think?  Woolen cloth?"

    Zhou Ziqi was stunned: "As far as I know, the Deputy Chief of Staff is a simple official, and can be appointed by the State Council to the President for approval; the Chief of Staff or the Secretary-General of the Presidential Palace are special officials of the President, and can only be appointed by the President. Sun Baixi  The Prime Minister of the Cabinet has no right to interfere, right?"

    Duan Qirui smiled and said: "If the president is a commander-in-chief, the chief of staff and the secretary-general of the presidential office are naturally forbidden, and Sun Baixi has no way to get involved; but now that the president is Li Huangpi (Li Yuanhong), he is basically alone now.  Shouldn't he just let Sun Baixi round him up and flatten him? Don't say that he doesn't have a suitable person to fill the role for a while. Even if he can find one, Sun Baixi forcefully offers him a chief of staff or secretary-general of the presidential office. How dare he refuse? "

    Zhang Zhenfang, the governor of Henan, interjected at this time: "Sun Baixi is really Li Songqing's nemesis! When Li Songqing was the vice president and the governor of Hubei, Sun Yuanqi attacked him. First, he sent people to seize half of Hubei from him;  Later, they tricked him out of Hubei and removed him from the post of governor of Hubei. Finally, he was lured to the capital and imprisoned in Yingtai, South China Sea for two years. If it hadn't been for the sudden death of the commander, he would have been trapped.  , I guess he will have to live there with Emperor De Zongjing for the rest of his life. I guess Li Songqing¡¯s calves will tremble when he hears Sun Baixi¡¯s name now!¡±

    Everyone couldn¡¯t help but laugh in unison.

    Duan Qirui also smiled and said: "I'm sure Li Huangpi will silently say in his heart, 'If you give birth to Li, how can you give birth to a grandson?' By the way, brother Zizhen, what are your plans?"

    Zhou Ziqi thought for a moment and replied: "My younger brother has little talent, little knowledge, no virtue, and no ability. It is better to go to Shaanxi and become a Taiping governor who rules from the top down!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Li Huangpi wanted to say silently in his heart, "If you give birth to Li, how can you give birth to a grandson?"  By the way, Brother Zizhen, what are your plans?  "

    Zhou Ziqi thought for a moment and replied: "My younger brother has little talent, little knowledge, no morals, and no ability. It is better to go to Shaanxi and become a Taiping governor who rules from the top down!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
