"What? Go to Shaanxi to be the governor?"
Everyone couldn¡¯t help but look at each other: Duan Qirui¡¯s words just now were in vain!
At this time, Wang Shizhen stood up and said: "Everyone, Wang is exhausted from the journey and cannot bear to sit for a long time, so I have to excuse myself for the time being! After resting, I will come back tomorrow to pay homage to the commander-in-chief. Please atone for any rudeness I have done!"
According to the customs and habits of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, the number of days for mourning and hanging at home should be an odd number in principle. For large funerals, the number of days is "seven", such as the first seven, three seven, and five seven, and the highest number can be seven, seven, forty-nine. sky. During the funeral period, close relatives and friends have to go to pay homage on a daily basis. Yuan Shikai's funeral is now so grand, it will definitely not be over in three to five days. That's why Wang Shizhen said this.
Cao Kun took advantage of the situation and stood up to say goodbye: "Cao came here to express his condolences as soon as he got off the plane. He didn't bother to go home to send a letter. He also wanted to go home and clean up first, so as not to worry about his wife, children, and children at home!"
Seeing that both of them were indeed busy with life, Duan Qirui, Xu Shichang and others could not dissuade them, so they had to respectfully send them out of the house.
After walking out of Xinhua Gate and looking around, Cao Kun asked in a low voice: "Brother Pinqing, why did you help Zhou Zizhen out of the siege just now? Obviously Duan Zhiquan hopes that he can take office in the Presidential Palace, so as to lay a foundation for the future. Nail. Your move undoubtedly ruined his wishful thinking. Aren't you afraid of his revenge in the future?"
"You actually saw it?" Wang Shizhen smiled slightly, seemingly unconcerned, "I didn't expect that Zhou Zizhen was actually a smart man. Seeing that something was impossible to do, he immediately said, 'A good bird chooses a tree to roost, and a wise minister chooses his master. ', Brother Yu, of course, wants the beauty of adulthood. As for Duan Zhiquan, I think he is purely driven by profit. Now that the commander's body is still cold, he is eager to capture people's hearts and form gangs to make himself king. But he doesn't want to think about whether he has this ability!
"If he really has the power to bring the fragmented Beiyang back together and compete with Sun Baixi in the Central Plains, Wang is optimistic about success and may even take the initiative to help. But I and him After dating for nearly thirty years, I have known him for a long time. No matter in terms of talent, courage or power, he is far inferior to the commander-in-chief. Previously, the commander-in-chief used the dignity of the president to lead the people of Beiyang to compete with Sun Baixi for the world. Those who drink hatred and die, how much less those who wait and wait?"
Cao Kun had some contacts with Duan Qirui, and he quickly helped to explain: "Back then, Brother Pinqing, Commander Zhiquan, and Governor Huafu were known as the 'Three Heroes of Beiyang'. The commander had high hopes for you, and the entire Beiyang group also valued you." The three of them are the leading figures under the commander-in-chief. Now that the commander-in-chief has lost his ambition, it should be replaced by the three of you. If Brother Qingqing comes to serve in power, Chief Zhiquan will naturally give up. But Brother Qingqing insists and cannot That¡¯s right, Commander-in-Chief Zhiquan has no choice but to do his duty, otherwise, wouldn¡¯t Beiyang be leaderless?¡±
Wang Shizhen immediately shook her head: "Now that the country has reached this point, why can't Brother Zhongshan still see the development of the situation clearly? The so-called 'small victory depends on wisdom, big victory depends on morality', and the current situation has fully proved this. In In the eyes of the world, doesn't Sun Baixi just know how to write articles, teach students, open factories, and earn money? In terms of ambition and ability to adapt to changes, how can he compare to the commander-in-chief? Why did Sun Baixi win in the end? The commander-in-chief was defeated? In the final analysis, it is because we, Beiyang, are inseparable from the word "private". We have selfish thoughts, exclusive rights, personal use, personal gain, private wealth almost everything is selfless, even to the country. Famous utensils and military subordinates are regarded as private property and others are strictly prohibited from getting involved. But what about Sun Baixi?
"It is well known that Sun Baixi's family has a billions of wealth that rivals the country. With his power and wealth, what is the difficulty even if he buys half of the capital? But in the capital, he still lives in a house given to him by his uncle Sun Wenzhenggong. Jing either lives in the New China Party Guesthouse or in the dormitory of Jingshi University, and his access and etiquette are not even as good as those of my general division brigade commander in Beiyang! However, when he was penniless, he invested huge sums of money to build Jingshi University and became rich and powerful. After that, he spent thousands of dollars to vigorously promote compulsory education, benefiting millions of students across the country; he also generously exempted nearly ten provinces in the west from taxes for several years, and invested in setting up enterprises and building roads to benefit the people. Who among us in Beiyang has such courage? ?¡±
Cao Kun couldn't help but blush: Although he usually prides himself on being loyal and kind, he is not immune to the general environment of Beiyang and often does some private work for personal gain. Regardless of his shares in the company and deposits in the bank, among his subordinates are his fourth brother Cao Rui, seventh brother Cao Ying, nephew Cao Shijie and many other nepotistic figures.
Wang Shizhen continued: "As early as the late Qing Dynasty, students all over the world respected him as the 'sage of today'. People in the western provinces were even more grateful to him and regarded him as the savior and sage. Brother Yu often lived in seclusion in his hometown in Zhengding with the countryside. The old farmer gossiped and heard a lot of rumors about Sun Baixi."Third, as Sun Baixi said, it may be difficult for his subordinates to deal with the Japanese army, but it will definitely not be a problem to deal with several divisions of the Beiyang Army. Even if he loses the battle in Shandong, the Beiyang Army, which lacks pay and guns, dares to risk the world. Are you going to send troops immediately to attack the righteous army that is resisting the invasion of foreign invaders? Beiyang doesn't dare, and the governors of other provinces don't dare!"
Cao Kun couldn't help but be silent when he heard this.
Wang Shizhen asked at this time: "Brother Zhongshan, you have met Sun Baixi once. What do you think of him? In less than ten years, he has jumped from a scholar to an important member of the cabinet, and now he is the president and upholds national affairs." . Wang is very curious about him!"
Cao Kun was stunned: "Why, Brother Qing wants to pay a visit to him?"
Wang Shizhen asked calmly: "Isn't it possible?"
It was only then that Cao Kun understood that Wang Shizhen, the "Dragon of the North", was not the divine dragon like Qin Shihuang who swept across the world, but the Crouching Dragon like Zhuge Liang, who chose his king according to the times! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
