    Chapter 368 Shaking Fan Strategist

    "Do you know? Liang Zhuoru has gone to Lianyun!"

    Putting down the tea cup, Duan Qirui glanced at Xu Shuzheng. In the past few months, Xu Shuzheng has been training his First Army in Tianjin. Now he has resigned from the post of deputy minister of the Army and became the commander of the First Army. Regarding this  Yuan Shikai had no objection when he arrived. Anyway, in his opinion, the First Army would be sent to fight on the European front sooner or later.  //www.//

    "have no idea."

    Although he was a little surprised, Xu Shuzheng still smiled lightly and said:

    "This has nothing to do with you and me."

    Then Xu Shuzheng said,

    "Whether or not the "thorn plum" case was committed by Yuan Xiangcheng, this matter will only benefit Li Lianyun, not harm it. In the past, Yuan Xiangcheng could give a few ministries to the State Council at will. Now that he wants to do this, Li Lianyun will  You can claim to be injured and not go to the capital. If he doesn't go to the capital for a day, Yuan Xiangcheng will not be able to take off his hat as the real culprit behind the scenes. If he can't take off his hat for a day, neither the officials nor the people will agree. The reaction of the southwestern provinces cannot be called fierce.  The revolutionary party is even more ready to move, intending to send troops to attack Yuan if Li Lianyun dies. At that time, in order to protect itself, the whole country will respond, and Yuan Xiangcheng's life will not be easy by then! Therefore, Yuan Shikai will definitely make concessions to Li Lianyun  , I¡¯m afraid the State Council will no longer be a mere fiction by then!¡±

    "If that's the case, why doesn't it matter?"

    Duan Qirui waved his hand and said:

    ¡°It¡¯s a big relationship!¡±

    Xu Shuzheng is a little confused: Yuan Xiangcheng wants to establish the State Council, and the Chinese people all agree.  For this matter, Duan Qirui also expressed his support again and again. The reason for this is very simple. The snipe and the clam are fighting over each other to get the fisherman's profit. How can Li Lianyun be willing to accept others? If the government is in chaos, the matter of sending troops to Europe will naturally be  It was delayed.

    Now that Yuan Shikai has made concessions, Li Lianyun may take a job in Beijing after recovering from injury, which should be a good thing.  Why is it "very relevant" to us? Has Duan Qirui's normal belief been shaken again? Therefore, Xu Shuzheng calmly waited for Duan Qirui to say "relationship".  Duan Qirui felt a little anxious when he saw Xu Shuzheng didn't speak.  He likes to get straight to the point and cannot hide "things" in his heart.  So, he said clearly:

    "Yuan Shikai may not really want to join hands with Li Lianyun. In the past, he may have just wanted to give Li Lianyun some imaginary ministries. Now, with this concession, he doesn't know what ministries he will give up. If he gives up a few real power ministries, this capital's pool of water  But it¡¯s even more confusing!¡±

    "A department with real power? No matter how much he gives in, he won't be able to give up the Army Department. At most, he will give up another Navy Department!"

    Xu Shuzheng asked casually.

    "What if we add a Ministry of Finance?"

    Duan Qirui said casually.

    "The reason why Liang Zhuoru went to Lianyun was that he brought five ministries of internal affairs, finance, education, industry and commerce, and agriculture and forestry. These five ministries were for the State Council, that is, for Li Lianyun. Yuan Xiangcheng agreed, but he knew  , I'm afraid this matter is not that simple, it's just an offer. Without this offer, Li Lianyun would not come to Lianyungang, and the Ministry of War, Yuan Xiangcheng would definitely not hand it over. Li Lianyun also knows this, but where is this bargain?  ? Just because of this matter. Yuan Xiangcheng called me over and gave me a thorough explanation to show his sincerity to us. Now Yuan Xiangcheng has something worthy of Li Lianyun's fight, which is the Ministry of the Navy."

    Having said this, Duan Qirui stopped talking. He blinked his big and tired eyes, trying to get a glimpse of something from Xu Shuzheng's face.

    The boss¡¯s words made Xu Shuzheng silent. He faced the wall without saying a word and just sat there quietly.

    Seeing his appearance, Duan Qirui became anxious:

    "Again, a difficult problem is in front of us. Where to go? You still have to come up with an idea! Although Li Lianyun is a good person, our Beiyang faction has broken bones and connected tendons. If Li Lianyun takes over the power of the central government, then"

    Xu Shuzheng remained silent - Yuan Shikai gave up power, but the Yuan family was unwilling to accept it.  If Yuan Shikai refuses to give up power and Li Lianyun does not come to Beijing, if he does not come to Beijing and rectify the name of the president, the Chinese people will not agree.  This is what Xu Shuzheng expected.

    Now that the "Sloes Case" has caused turmoil across the country, Xu Shuzheng also understands it in his heart; he also predicts that because Yuan Shikai is unpopular, even if Yuan Shikai did not do this matter, the revolutionary party and various forces will think of him and then label him  Give it to him, and why Li Lianyun's people brought the assassin to Lianyun in the first place? Protection is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is also to keep the investigation results secret and use the matter to seek benefits.

    Now, Yuan Shikai felt that the situation was serious, and he had to "secretly look at Li Lianyun", but it seemed that there might be more of them. Xu Shuzheng really didn't expect this.

    The news of Li Lianyun¡¯s assassination and injury reached Xu Shuzheng¡¯s earsDuring the war, he thought carefully about it, and he immediately concluded that he had a full understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Jiangsu Army.  Even though Li Lianyun had great ambitions and commanded a 200,000-strong army, China is so big that it cannot be conquered by an army of 200,000 people. This time, he can only fear a tragedy.  But Xu Shuzheng also saw that the Jiangsu Army's trend was unstoppable! It would crush all the armies that stood in its way with overwhelming force.

    People can¡¯t beat cannons and airplanes!

    If the Battle of Lanshan left any impression on Xu Shuzheng, it was probably this impression. As soon as he returned to Beijing, he immediately ordered Dexian Arsenal to imitate mortars, and sent more personnel to Nanyuan Airport to learn  flight, and also discussed the purchase of aircraft with Lianyungang.

    But even so, if the opponent is the Jiangsu Army, he still doesn't have much confidence. No one has much confidence in the opponent who relies on divisional firepower to dump 15,000 artillery shells on the battlefield a minute, even though most of those artillery shells are  60 mm and 82 mm mortar shells are enough to destroy the will of most troops to resist.

    "If someone else takes up the banner to overthrow Yuan Shikai, wouldn't it be better if we do it ourselves first?"

    It is precisely because of this that he wants to mobilize Duan Qirui, and Duan Qirui will carry this banner.  In the future, he and Duan Qirui will become "anti-dictatorship heroes." After all, Xu Shuzheng climbed up along the "pole" of Duan Qirui and Yuan Shikai.  To oppose Yuan is to oppose his "ancestors". Opposing their ancestors is something the Chinese people are unwilling to do; or it is something they are unwilling to do unless it is absolutely necessary.

    Because of this, Xu Shuzheng has been watching the situation calmly, and at the same time, he is waiting patiently for Li Lianyun to send troops. Once Li Lianyun sends troops, when the Jiangsu Army crosses the Yellow River, the First Army stationed in Tianjin and Baoding will immediately switch sides, so as to  He turned to Beijing on the grounds of "dictatorship and chaos" and forced Yuan Shikai to resign. Later, after Li Lianyun lost the reason for crusade, the boss could take control of the central power. Of course, Xu Shuzheng also had a share in this central power.

    But waiting like this is not an option. While paying attention to the news about Li Lianyun's injury, he is also paying attention to the national public opinion to decide whether he should rebel against Yuan first. Just when Xu Shuzheng was hesitant, Duan Qirui  They came to the door, bringing the news that Yuan Shikai wanted to make concessions, and he would not hesitate to give up the Ministry of Finance, that key department, and that was just the price.

    Xu Shuzheng suddenly felt that Yuan Shikai was so pitiful.  His concession was equivalent to dividing the central power into two, Yuan Yi and Li Yi.  This made Xu Shuzheng feel embarrassed: should he pity Yuan Shikai, be grateful for his support in the past and his sincerity today, and help him again? Or should he follow the trend and rise up against him and knock him down?

    Hope is too slim. Before and after Lanshan, Xu Shuzheng had many conversations with Li Lianyun. The two talked a lot. Li Lianyun was extremely disgusted with the civil war. It can even be said that he was disgusted to the extreme. It was an instinctive resistance.  Perhaps, because of this, Li Lianyun was willing to come to Beijing as the Prime Minister at the cost of giving up the army.

    If there had not been the current "thorn case", I'm afraid he would have arrived in Beijing.

    This also means that if he, Xu Shuzheng, takes the initiative to attack Yuan, Li Lianyun will definitely attack him, Xu Shuzheng, on the grounds of "maintaining legal authority" once he recovers from his injuries. The reason why he does this is very simple. First, he, Xu Shuzheng, "initiates the use of force to resolve disputes."  River", and the second is that he, Xu Shuzheng, "rebelled". The president is guilty and should be removed by Congress. With Li Lianyun's personality, he will do this!

    What if you help Yuan?

    ??????????????????? What will be the final result of this decentralization of power in the government? If it succeeds, who will be in charge of the ups and downs of China? This is still a mystery.  Where to go? This person who was called a "weirdo" was at a loss for a while.

    In the long history of China.  Melee can reveal the true character of a hero.  And all the "heroes of troubled times".  Almost all have a common "truth", which is to develop yourself.  Strengthen yourself and dominate the world with your fists!

    Xu Shuzheng claims to be China's "hero among heroes". He wants to help his master like Zhang Liang and unify the world.  From the day he had the opportunity to seize the First Army, he began to plan to expand his power and harden his fists.  He is like a shrewd fisherman, always peeping at the large and small ripples on the water, waiting to pick up the fishing rod.

    Tianjin.  It is not a place where he has lived for a long time.  "Tianjin only has feasting and entertainment, and Tianjin only has wealthy businessmen and tycoons. Tianjin is not a land of emperors!"

    Xu Shuzheng is in Tianjin but his heart is in Beijing.  Ordinarily, Duan Qirui's arrival brought about Yuan Shikai's concession and brought Xu Shuzheng a brand new news.

    Whether he is helping Yuan or opposing Yuan, Duan Qirui will "obey orders" - Duan Qirui believes in Xu Shuzheng.  Duan Qirui often regarded Xu Shuzheng as a "God-given talent". Heaven pitied him for his "concern for the country and the people" and sent talented people to him.  However, this time, Xu Shuzheng was very unusual. He neither wanted to help Yuan nor rebel against Yuan.

      After a long silence, Xu Shuzheng slowly said:

    "At present, we still adhere to our principles, control the First Army, and state the direct power of the boss in the army. We cannot express our stance now. What stance should we express? How should we express our stance? How should we express our stance? Let's go on, no, let's stabilize it.  "

    Duan Qirui was silent. He muttered to himself and seemed to be worried and complaining:

    "Aren't you going to express your position? Isn't this just adding insult to injury? If Li Lianyun really gets into a fight with the president in Beijing"

    Xu Shuzheng shook his head and smiled.

    "As long as we sit tight on the Diaoyutai, Yuan Xiangcheng will not be killed, and Li Lianyun will not succeed immediately."

    After thinking for a while, Duan Qirui said:

    "What you said makes sense. It's just"

    It can be said that Duan Qirui was full of complaints about Yuan Shikai from the moment the President set up the General Palace. It was precisely because of this that he agreed to Xu Shuzheng's suggestion to take charge of the First Army and take the opportunity to build his own force, and Xu Shuzheng did not give in.  He was disappointed. In less than a year, he organized the First Army into a strong army.

    Among other things, the artillery division of the First Army has as many as 36 150mm howitzers. In addition to the 105mm howitzers, the entire brigade is equipped with as many as 72 artillery pieces. Of course, this is the credit of Lianyungang. If it were not for the Battle of Lanshan  At that time, the First Army replenished a large number of artillery. The First Army could not equip so many artillery. Half of them were replenished by Lianyungang. And after the most impressive battle, Li Lianyun did not mention returning the artillery at all.

    Although he admired Li Lianyun's generosity, when Yuan Shikai was in danger, he sent someone to ask him and told him sincerely that he was ready to make concessions. In addition to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Communications, which had some financial power, several other ministries  Let Li Lianyun pick five of them!

    Yuan Shikai¡¯s words made Duan Qirui shaken: after all, he had been favored by Yuan Shikai, and had an old relationship in which he shared weal and woe, and shared ups and downs.  He thought he had to support Yuan Xiang to the end.  Xu Shuzheng's words again aroused his desire to "preserve his strength":

    ¡°That¡¯s right, who will win has not yet been decided, so it¡¯s better to sit back and wait for the opportunity.¡±

    "It's okay not to express your stance."

    Duan Qirui said:

    "How do I go to see Xiang Cheng and what do I say to him?"

    "Aren't you sick?"

    Xu Shuzheng said casually:

    "What are you going to do if you stay behind closed doors to recuperate?"

    "I don't see Gujia, but I can't recover from my illness to the end! Besides, this is"

    Xu Shuzheng also felt that this was unpredictable, and it was unreasonable to refuse to meet him out of the blue.  What's more, Duan Qirui still holds the title of "Chief-in-Chief of the Army Department", so he must have a legitimate retreat strategy.  Xu Shuzheng thought for a long time and said:

    "You don't have to be embarrassed. Yuan Xiangcheng wants you to express your stance. Although it is forced by the situation, he only takes the opportunity to express his stance to the outside world. Boss, you have many talents all over the world. It can be said that you are the most prestigious in the Central Army. If, boss, you stand  On Yuan Xiangcheng's side, it is estimated that Li Lianyun will also get rid of the matter of infiltrating the army. I thought, we might as well do something small, first show Xiangcheng's heart, and then do something about sending troops to Europe to let Li Lianyun know  Our goodwill, isn't this the best of both worlds?

    "What action?"

    Duan Qirui didn¡¯t believe there was any way to socialize this matter.

    "It will be difficult to satisfy Xiang Cheng on one side and understand Li Lianyun on the other."

    "easy!"

    Xu Shuzheng smiled slightly, and then said:

    "Why is the President so confident that he can take down Li Lianyun without firing a shot?"

    "Li Zicheng, this guy treats people with sincerity! That guy, if nothing else, has made a lot of money from this reputation in the past few years. When disasters happen, he has donated hundreds of thousands to millions, and there are many people in Longhai area.  Death of hunger, no cold beggar, reputation is good, but if it is good enough, it will become a burden. If there is no excuse for the Thornberry case, unless Li Lianyun is really seriously injured, otherwise, unless he destroys his name, he will  Otherwise, I can only come to Beijing to work, and this person"

    Shaking his head, Duan Qirui continued.

    "Li Lianyun has been famous in the world for more than a year, so this time he counts those three shots"

    The advantage of three shots!

    Now everyone in the country knows that if Yuan Shikai wants to hate, he can only hate the shooter for not shooting in the head. If there were no real casualties at that time, Duan Qirui might have really doubted whether he was shot.  Is the assassin really an assassin?

    "It's a big help to him. Now, even if Xiang Cheng is unwilling, he can only give up part of his power to Li Lianyun. Now, Li Lianyun is afraid that it will become a state affairs!"

    Lianyungang is now the most famous city in China, but that city is famous for its plum blossomsBuilt with sincerity, and Li Zicheng was born from it, people naturally called Li Zicheng Li Lianyun. Before this name became popular, maybe Li Guowu would appear in front of the world again, but this was due to the "Three Guns"  !¡±

    "Whether it's Li Lianyun or Li Guowu, it's all something that can be done!"

    Xu Shuzheng snorted unexpectedly.

    "We sent people to create public opinion in front of Liang Shiyi, Yang Du and others, saying that as long as Lianyun is willing to meet Xiangcheng, Xiangcheng can agree to all Lianyun's requests. At that time, all personnel, finance, and decisions of Xiangcheng will be  It¡¯s time to return to Li Lianyun. These people are Xiang Cheng¡¯s confidants. For example, Xiang Cheng gave way to Yu Lianyun. They will definitely obstruct the talks between Xiang Cheng and Li Lianyun. At least they can add some resistance to Li Lianyun. We can¡¯t just sit back and watch.  Has it changed?"

    "good!"

    Duan Qirui slapped the table again.

    "Great! Let's just watch him fight with the snipe and the clam!"

    "ah!"

    Xu Shuzheng turned silent and said firmly:

    ¡°Not only do we not see him, we also have to take the initiative to attack him!¡±

    "Attack?"

    His words left Duan Qirui baffled.

    "Yes. It's an attack!"

    Looking up at Duan Qirui, Xu Shuzheng explained further.

    "Why Xiang Cheng is willing to give in to Lianyun? It's just to draw out Lianyun's troops. Europe seems to be unstoppable in sending troops to Europe. It's true that he, Li Lianyun, is loyal to state affairs!"

    When it comes to being loyal to state affairs, Xu Shuzheng did not show any hint of ridicule. In any case, at least in this aspect, what Li Zicheng has always done is impeccable.

    "No matter how loyal he is to national affairs, he will always want to leave some power to protect himself. In this regard, we must cooperate with Li Lianyun!"

    Next, Xu Shuzheng did not continue talking, what will happen to Xiang Cheng?  If those troops cannot be mobilized, Yuan Xiangcheng's plan to take back the military power will naturally disappear. By then, coupled with the fuel and jealousy of the people around Xiangcheng, everything will be natural

    With a sneer, Xu Shuzheng did not continue speaking, but just looked out the window quietly and hummed a tune in his heart!
