Volume Four, Chapter 40: Chaos Appears
Chapter 40: The chaos begins to appear
According to Zhao Xinglong's requirements, the work of cleaning the battlefield was very meticulous, leaving no living mouth. When he saw Wang San lying on the ground with blood on his body, Zhao Xinglong felt a little uneasy. Wang San shot his stomach twice during the battle, and the bullets opened, and the intestines in his stomach flowed out. Wang San stuffed the intestines back with his hand and continued to fight for a few minutes. Finally, he couldn't hold on and then fell down.
"Wang San, it doesn't matter." Zhao Xinglong came to Wang San's side and squatted down, looking at Wang San with concern.
Wang San showed a bleak smile on his face, and he gasped heavily and replied in a low voice: "Master, I may not be able to do it anymore. Can you let others leave? Brother, please ask you for something."
Zhao Xinglong didn't expect that Wang San would make this request. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then nodded to the people around him. After everyone left, Zhao Xinglong said, "Okay, just say whatever you have."
Wang San turned his head around with difficulty and looked down, saying in a low voice: "Boss, I know if you don't say it. I'll ask you one thing, let my brothers go along with their lives, they are all miserable people."
Zhao Xinglong didn't expect that this man with a rough appearance was so meticulous. His face became gloomy. He thought for a long time and didn't speak. Wang San was a little anxious and reached out to grab Zhao Xinglong and said, "You can do it, okay, just accumulate some good deeds."
Zhao Xinglong sighed and gently patted Wang San on the shoulder and said, "Get safe and well, I'll send someone to take you on the boat to Tianjin, and find you a quiet place to live in the south and live an ordinary life."
Wang San said with relief and said a long breath: "Thank you, Master." After that, he slowly closed his eyes.
The sound of gunfire sounded all night in Beijing. When the day came again, no pedestrians on the street could see them. They could only see teams of soldiers wearing new military uniforms and red armbands on their arms, lined up in neat rows patrolling the streets.
All important departments were taken over by the army, and soldiers were guarded by each official's doorstep. After the new army entered the city, there was no disturbance to the people. Everything seemed to return to peace quickly, but it exuded an unusual atmosphere.
Shen Congyun, who had arrived from Jinan to Tianjin, just got off the train and saw the United States waiting on the platform. The German ministers Tian Bei and Hai Jing. Shen Congyun immediately felt the purpose of these two people. While smiling on his face, he couldn't help but feel secretly regretful. Why didn't the British minister appear? After all, Britain is the real boss of the world's powers now.
"Mr. Shen, I'm sorry we're going to delay your rest. It may take up some time to inform our government of the attitude towards the changes in China at present." Tian Bei stepped forward and held Shen Congyun's hand and smiled diligently. German Minister Hai Jing showed a reserved expression slightly and nodded at Shen Congyun and smiled implicitly.
"No problem, let's go together and go to the Zhili Governor's Office."
Standing in front of the Governor of Zhili, an indescribable feeling surged in Shen Congyun's heart. Once upon a time, he was always with a nervous mood. The world always had to speak by strength. Li Hongzhang fell down and Shen Congyun came. This is the inevitable law of historical development.
Although the ministers of both countries were eager to have a close conversation with Shen Congyun, Chen Congyun still asked Hai Jing to wait patiently first, and entered Li Hongzhang's study with Tian Bei. Looking at the unchanging decorations inside, a feeling of change in things and people arises naturally.
"Mr. Minister, you can say it now." Chen Congyun asked Tian Bei to sit down, and the guards smiled after serving tea.
"Mr. Shen, frankly speaking, the US government hopes to exchange support for you in exchange for the full opening of the market within your control." Tian Bei expressed his meaning without any mistakes.
Chen Congyun smiled but did not answer. Tian Bei couldn't help but be stunned. Lenovo's German minister was still waiting for Chen Congyun to meet in the living room. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Of course you can also put forward some of your own conditions."
Chen Congyun said: "Mr. Minister, I am very happy that I feel the sincerity of your government. I want to ask for an interest-free loan of 50 million US dollars. All of these loans will be used to purchase various technical books in the United States. At the same time, I hope the US government will provide a certain degree of technical assistance."
"The conditions are not high, but I still need to seek the consent of our government, but I believe that all these will pass smoothly." Tian Bei smiled and stretched out his hand to Chen Congyun. Chen Congyun held Tian Bei's hand and said, "Happy cooperation! The only thing I can guarantee is that as long as I am within my control, the American people will be regarded as their best friend."
Tian Bei left, and Hai Jing entered the study. Chen Congyun waited leisurely. When Hai Jing saw Chen Congyun, he smiled and said, "Mr. Shen, our government has always been very supportive of friends. Now, on behalf of the German government, I officially inform you that we can increase the cooperation between the two sides, and at the same time, we also hope to gain a certain range of control in China."
Chen Congyun smiled and shook his head and said, "Mr. Minister, according to my information, your government has always attached importance to its relations with the Austro-Hungarian Empire. For this reason, the Russian government has been guilty of the Russian government on the issue of the Balkans. Russia and France have even formed a secret alliance. From a geopolitical perspective, Russia poses a greater threat to our country. If your government can show enough sincerity, I think I will do my best to limit Russia's development in the Far East. In the next three to five years, I will accelerate the construction of the new army and increase it in China. The strength of the Northeast garrison is for this reason. I hope to receive military assistance from the German government. What I hope to get is the weapons purchased with free loans provided by the German government, as well as the number of places to send a military advisory team and the number of 300 officers to study at the German military academy. As for the areas controlled by your government, I cannot agree to this, because you also know that China's current state is likely to have a separatist situation in various provinces. The only thing I can assure you is that as long as it is within the areas under my control, the greatest preferential policies will be given to your country as much as possible."
Chen Congyun's words changed Hai Jing's face. Because the alliance between Russia and France was still a secret alliance. Although the German intelligence department also noticed it, it did not understand the details. Chen Congyun smiled more confidently when he saw the change of Hai Jing's face. He reached out to take out a piece of paper from his arms and gently pushed towards Hai Jing: "This is the general content of the secret agreement between Russia and France that I have obtained, even if it is my little sincerity."
Hai Jing took it and saw the muscles on his face hopped twice. He couldn't help but bowed slightly, gently stuffed the paper into his pocket, and then slowly sat down and smiled: "I will convey your sincerity to our government, and I believe our government will also express sincerity to cooperate."
"This is the best, I hope both sides will cooperate happily." Chen Congyun smiled.
Hai Jing also left, and the smile on Chen Congyun's face changed to a grim face. The current situation is not necessarily optimistic, especially the attitude of the British government has always been too important for Chen Congyun. Historically, Britain hoped to restrict Russia's development in the Far East through Japan. Now Shen Congyun has killed Japan. I believe the British should be able to see who is the better partner. As long as the British government can support Chen Congyun and with the support of the three countries, and promise to give France some benefits in Vietnam, France will probably maintain a relatively neutral attitude.
As soon as Chen Congyun saw Hai Jing away, Ouyang Quan hurried in and whispered in Shen Congyun's ear: "Sir, a person who claims to be a military commander Tianjin Station is asking for a visit."
Chen Congyun nodded and said, "Let him come in."
After a while, a young man in a long robe walked in. When he saw Chen Congyun, he stood attentively and saluted: "Sun Lei, the director of Tianjin Station of the Military Bureau, has met the principal."
Chen Congyun raised his hand to signal Ouyang Quan to go out, and then smiled and said, "I remember you, it seems to be a graduate of the second class of intelligence major in Shanghai Wubei Academy. Now he is a webmaster. He is doing a good job."
Sun Lei was a very ordinary person who could not even be seen in the crowd. Seeing that Chen Congyun could still remember him, he couldn't help but feel excited: "I didn't expect that the principal still remembered his subordinates."
"Haha, I still remember that you once took the first place at this age. Okay, let's not talk about this, let's talk about the serious business. What news has come from Zhao Xinglong?"
"Mr. Zhao called and said that the sunset in the desert."
When Chen Congyun heard this, he couldn't help but sit forward, his face felt a little nervous. After breathing a long sigh, he slowly stood up, walked a few times in the study, and stopped and said, "Tele to Zhao Xinglong that the aftermath must be clean."
……………………………
When Zhang Zhidong received a secret power from Chen Congyun in Wuchang, his face seemed to be struck by lightning.
The telegram reads, "The Empress Dowager and the Emperor went west, and met a horse thief on the way, and they were killed. Now that the wise ruler is not here, the chaos in the world is beginning to emerge, and the clouds are frightened. For the long-term plan for the national destiny, he plans to establish the country with the autonomous federal system of each province. I beg Lord Zhang to enter Beijing quickly and discuss major issues together."
When Zhang Zhidong put down the telegram, he couldn't help but sigh: "The picture is revealed! Chen Congyun is a good method."
Gu Hongming sneered from the side: "Each province is autonomous, draw a big pie to stabilize the domestic situation first, then gain the support of the great powers, and then deal with the provinces one by one. With his current strength, hum, it will take only three to five years to do so."
"You and I can see clearly. Even if others can see clearly, they may not be able to resist this temptation. Now, I am afraid that more than half of the governors and governors of various provinces will agree to this condition as long as the governors and governors of various provinces."
Gu Hongming frowned and said, "What should we do? Sir, you must not go to Beijing."
"Haha, what's wrong with going? Chen Congyun won't do anything to me. I believe that the governors and governors of all provinces are staring at the Northeast. The Iron Hat King outside the pass will not agree to Chen Congyun's conditions."
…………………………
When Calmondo was busy acquiring the Beiyang New Army, aftershocks of the aftershock of Zhao Youlian as the commander of the First Division, he took a train from Tianjin to the city of Shanhaiguan after a night.
When the officers and soldiers of the First Division lined up to welcome the aftershock, Zhao Youlian showed a look of shame on his face. Aftershock glanced at Zhao Youlian, snorted softly, without scolding him.
"Go back to Tianjin to meet the military captain and apologize." After the Aftershock said this, he immediately anxious that the officers above the First Division commander had a meeting and issued an emergency order, "The First Division will go north to Fengtian without stopping."
This order is naturally what Chen Congyun means. What Chen Congyun is most worried about now is that the people outside the pass are anxious and join forces with the Russians or Japanese to cause trouble.
………………………………………
Chen Congyun never expected that before he moved to Beijing, Li Hongzhang actually found Tianjin in person.
When it was dark, when the guard came to report to Li Hongzhang for a visit, Chen Congyun was really surprised.
When he saw Li Hongzhang again, this gentleman was a little shaking when walking, and his thin face became even more haggard. When he saw Chen Congyun standing at the door of the yard, Li Hongzhang did not speak at first, then looked at Chen Congyun's face for a long time, and finally sighed: "Zi Gui, Zi Gui, you are so brave. Are you not afraid of the world's long mouth? Tell me, do you want to be Cao Cao?"
Chen Congyun smiled softly and said, "Mr. Li, please speak in the study."
After entering the study, Chen Congyun waited for Li Hongzhang to sit down and said with a smile: "Congyun doesn't want to be Cao Cao."
Li Hongzhang's face changed drastically: "Do you want to be Wang Mang?"
