"Commander, all the foreign consulates in Hankou have sent secret messages. They will officially declare "strict neutrality" in six days according to the agreement with you, and let those rogue parties toss around in Wuhan" "Well, then the weapons they promised Where are the ammunition and support? " Yuan Shikai took a sip of sour plum soup, put his chopsticks into the blue and white porcelain bowl, rolled the duck skin into a roll, and stuffed it into his mouth, "Tell Feng Guozhang to control his temper. The support from foreigners and the food and salary from the court are less than a day old, so we must stay on the front line in front of Liujiamiao If we don't let these gangsters get hurt and frightened, that idiot Zaifeng will never really let them live in peace! Give it a try first!" "Yes!" Duan Qirui was moved and quickly stood up from the dining table and saluted, then took out the next secret message from the confidential room, "According to the Prime Minister's request from the Qingmu Mansion According to the information received from the Yamen, the imperial court will transport double the amount of food and wages by water this time. It is estimated that it will arrive at the Wuhan River at the same time as the British, German, American and other warships on the 22nd! Take your seat" Yuan Shikai was sweating profusely from eating, but the chopsticks in his hands were not slow at all. In the short time Duan Qirui sat at the table with him, he had two ducks. The skin was eaten clean by him. "I heard that Yang Meng broke into Zhangde by himself last night?" Duan Qirui: "Yes, this person is elusive. It is said that he showed up in Hankou the day before yesterday. Yesterday, he actually broke into Zhangde, two meters away. The high city wall is like walking on flat ground to him. Even the masters of the secret guards" "Shit masters, a bunch of trash, if Li Dabi hadn't been alert, I might have had my head touched off and you wouldn't even know it! "Haha, this Master Li went out in person, but in the end he came back in vain" Duan Qirui looked at the uncertainty on Yuan Shikai's face, and felt a thrill in his heart. He quickly and cautiously stood up from the table, "Look , should we strengthen the security in the house? It is said that this Yang Meng is about to become a Buddha. Now, I am afraid no one can control him" "Buddha, Li Ruidong is also crawling around in the capital. If he could not defeat his martial nephew, he probably would not have come back without a single scratch. Since Yang Meng did not enter the house, it was probably because Li Ruidong had lost the fight and had to reveal it to Yang Meng. I know that there are two Pankras from Greece sent by the British Consul General in the house" At this point, Yuan Shikai laughed heartlessly and was very happy about the name. After a while, he waved his hand happily, indicating that Duan Qirui should not be restrained, and handed him the sour plum soup and took a few sips "Send someone to the capital to tell Li Cunyi that the building is about to collapse, and he is a hero of our generation. When a patriot pledges his allegiance to the imperial court, he is allowed to contact the martial arts masters in the north to formally establish the Chinese Warriors Association. In addition, Li Ruidong is promoted to the commander of the guards and takes charge of the secret guard. Remember to send a few more maids to the two boxing fighters. , Let them be promoted to personal guards" "The commander is pulling and hitting, rising up and down covertly, asking Yang Meng to throw a rat-proof weapon" "Haha, these official skills are just nonsense, you go and prepare for them. On the way down, I think that in a few days, there will be riots in three or five provinces, and it will be time for Zaifeng to go home" "Is that wooden lump willing to delegate power?" Duan Qirui ate a meal. He was shocked, and then said with some disbelief: "Although the battle situation in Wuhan seems to be corrupt, with Guozhang leading the troops, anyone with a discerning eye can see the commander's thoughts. Zaifeng's military and political affairs are not good, but with the commander ¡¡± ¡°That old guy Yi Kuang has written to me privately, and he will formally dismiss him due to illness at the court in a few days¡± Yuan Shikai looked at his beloved general and smiled mysteriously, ¡°Xu Shichang Naturally, he is devoted to me, and Na Tong is wise to protect himself. Without these three carriages to escort Xiao Xuantong, do you think you can see through this trend with Zaifeng and the other Eight Banners nobles who do not know the military sophistication? Here, Yuan Shikai paused for a moment, looked at Duan Qirui's expression of thirsty for knowledge, and then continued: "The storm in front of us can be big or small. If we move too early, we will fight with those chaotic people." Just like the riots launched by the party in other places, they can still be suppressed for a few more years. But since Zaifeng has always regarded me as a thorn in the flesh, why should I continue to protect him, a fool, and simply turn this rain and dew into a sweeping riot? The storm in the country" Duan Qirui's eyes lit up: "Drive away the wolves and devour the tigers, and turn against the guests! " Yuan Shikai nodded: "Yi Kuang understood, so he showed his kindness to me in advance and only wanted to be rich and prosperous for the rest of his life. But those local governors still couldn't understand, so they had to use this gang of gangsters to take advantage of him. The lakes at their doorsteps are one after anotherStir it up, and then let our Beiyang Army settle the matter! " "The commander-in-chief fully supported Yang Meng's commotion in the early stage, just because he wanted him to muddy the water a little more" After hearing these words, Duan Qirui was a little surprised at first, and then his heart tightened slightly, "It's just that Sun Dapao His reputation is very high. If this storm is really used to develop the general trend of the entire chaotic party, I am afraid that by then, there will be a spark of fire everywhere. Isn't the commander-in-chief afraid that it will be difficult to end it? " "Hahaha! " Yuan Shikai shrugged, pointed at Duan Qirui with a smile, and then pointed at himself, and said: "You have underestimated yourself, and you have underestimated me No matter how powerful the rebel party is, it is just a group leader. The so-called "Spark of Fire" can start a prairie fire. It's okay to deal with the local governors and squires who are so rotten. If they really have to fight our Beiyang Army head-on on the front battlefield, they will know who this Qing Dynasty is. His fists are tough, who should he listen to? " "As long as they are beaten to pain and fear, the agitated lake will naturally embrace all rivers and all come under the command of the commander-in-chief! " Duan Qirui nodded thoughtfully, and then said goodbye to Yuan Shikai excitedly, but before leaving, he couldn't help but turn around and said to Yuan Shikai: "It seems like those two Pankras are quite capable. My subordinates are going to give them more silver coins. Yang Meng¡¯s reputation is too great now. Commander, you should be more careful! " Yuan Shikai nodded, and after thinking about it, he stopped staying in the courtyard. After returning to the hall for a while, he asked the housekeeper to send a lot of novelty gadgets, and they were all sent to the rooms of the two Pankraci. The two Greeks usually lived in the outer wing of Yuan Mansion. Because they rarely went out on weekdays, their faces looked a little pale. After receiving a series of rewards from Duan Qirui and Yuan Shikai, not only did their faces not show any trace of happiness, His expression became more solemn "It seems that the person who entered the house last night will come again tonight! ¡± The man who spoke was young. His legs were separated and entwined on both sides of his neck, while his hands were stretched down and supported on the ground, making the muscles on his body intertwined and twisted like strong tendons, and like purple copper ingots. It was polished to a metallic sheen "That man's aura is too strong. You are no match for him. If he comes tonight, let me have a fight with him!" "The second man looks older, probably in his forties, but maybe because he has experienced too many vicissitudes, his hair is already half gray. If it weren't for the muscles on his body that look even more exaggerated than that young man, he would be five years old. I'm afraid some people at the age of ten may believe it. The young man trembled slightly, and then his face showed a hint of unconvinced stubbornness, "You are the greatest Pankrasin. No matter how powerful that person is, you don't need to take action!" " "That man has a very murderous aura, and he has taken away many lives with his hands. I am afraid he is a top expert who has just crawled out of the dead man's field. If you confront him, you will definitely die! " "The inheritors of Pankrasin are never afraid of death! " "Fool! "Pankrasin looked at the young man's stubborn expression, and a look of worry appeared in his eyes. "The name Pankrasin is a supreme honor, but it is also the greatest constraint. The reason why I don't want to give up. You inherited this name early because there are too many things that need to be carried in these words. Before you become the real Pankrasin, I will not allow you to lose your life because of your arrogance" Having said this, a trace of inexplicable hatred bloomed in Pankrasin's eyes. He then maintained his ascetic posture for most of the day, slowly relaxed, and tied two bucket-shaped mortar-shaped stones. The hands, following the momentum of some fighting techniques, slowly move back and forth above the head and in front of the body, fully inflating every muscle on the body in these weird postures "Pankrasin represents the full limit. Fighting has no rules or restrictions, but because of the title Pankrasin, you forget the strength gap between you and me and between you and that opponent. This is a wrong concept in itself" The young man held his arms up On the ground, listening to Pankrasin's lesson, his face still showed disapproval, but before he could open his mouth to refute, he heard Pankrasin already with a low cry, easily breaking the rope as thick as his thumb and pulling the rope away. The two mortar-shaped stones were lifted up and placed on his shoulders one by one "Panke Racine originally symbolized the all-out limitless fighting that challenged everything and was invincible Only in the most cruel and dangerous extreme challenge, where one can even lose one's life at any time, can one understand the true essence of fighting and the spirit of the hero Theseus" Suddenly two large rocks appeared on his body, and the young man who was already close to the limit suddenly changed. Gotta be a little shakenOn the verge of falling, no matter how much his body trembles, his arms will constantly adjust to maintain the center of gravity of his body. Although he is a little out of breath when he speaks, there is something in his brown eyes. Still maintaining a stubborn fighting spirit "So, it's not that I forgot to measure my own strength, it's that you are afraid that I will fall into this kind of danger between life and death. You are the one who forgot Pankrasin's honor, dad!"? ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡(To be continued) PS: Thank you to the brothers of 'Brother Around the Earth' for your monthly votes!
