After all his might, Yang Rui felt tired after sending McCormick. 'The pod of the airship was not too big. After more than 30 people sat there, there was no place to sleep at all. It was like a hard seat in the train. Everyone was sleeping while sitting. When they got off the airship, they were excited when they heard that the South Manchuria Railway was bombed. After the excitement, they felt slightly exhausted.

"It's true, I feel that it's better to tell the ministerial delegation in the Northeast." Seeing Yang Rui resting, Xie Zhangtai and Cai Yuanpei ran over with a busy schedule. They heard what Yang Rui and the Americans said, and it was very uneasy to say that the conflict was a war.

"Well. Just tell me." Yang Rui no longer thought about this. "You can discuss it first. I'm hungry, go out to eat something." After that, he went out.

Xie Zhangtai and Cai Yuanpei looked at each other. This is not the time to rest, but now it is a 100,000-year-old. Cai Yuanpei hurriedly said: "It turned out that although the conflict is in Fengtian and the earth, it is not good that the whole Northeast will be in chaos. Why are you..."

"China is ours, and it is also foreigners. Foreigners want to see us anxious, so let's wait and see them anxious. We, first, there is no hurry, and second, it depends on who can afford to lose more than who." Yang Rui stood up and said as he walked out, "There is a family in front of the gate. If you don't have enough food in the morning, go together?"

Everyone had breakfast. It was only less than ten o'clock now, and Yang Rui was going to eat again, which made the two of them confused. Besides, the matter of Fengtian is urgent now, so there is no time to eat. But when Yang Rui left the house, he had to go out.

Unlike later generations, the ** Square at this time was just a T-shaped closed square. The horizontal section was Chang'an Street in front of the **. This is where all civil and military officials kneel and listen to the orders. The vertical section was Qianbu Gate. The bottom end was the Daqing Gate. The entire T-shaped square was equipped with high walls. The government offices on both sides were only outside the high walls, and the side roads on both sides of the high walls were only passed.

The escort convoy followed the sideways to Qipan Street, then passed Qipan Street and entered Zhengyangmen. The Qianmen Street was Qianmen Street. The carriage stopped near the mouth of the fresh fish. Many people with braids looked at the revolutionary party that came out of the inner city with curiosity, bent and dodged, fearing that they would provoke these barbarians who killed without blinking.

When Yang Rui got off the car, he looked around. Although the brick and tile houses on both sides of the street were simple, they had a charm. There were shops facing the street. Many of them were two-story houses with various delistings. Quanjude was a two-story blue brick house. The wooden signs of "elegant inner hall" and "sweeping casually" were hung outside the store and drifted in the wind, but the wooden doors that opened were closed tightly.

Seeing a large group of revolutionary troops walking to his door, Yang Qingmao, the shopkeeper of Quanjude, was only afraid of watching inside the door. But when he saw these people seemed to be here for dinner, he was excited to open the door, but when he thought that he was still wearing braids. When his face changed, he gritted his teeth, so he found scissors on the counter and cut the braids, and then opened the store door, calling out like a waiter: "Several heroes, there are elegant seats in the store, delisting roast duck, and selling them at the time, so he can take care of them. Please. Please. Please."

Yang Rui, who thought he came too early and wanted to go back, smiled when he saw the guy shouting. He looked at Xie Zhangtai and Cai Yuanpei and smiled. "Hehe, it seems that it's time to come."

Seeing that Yang Rui did not take Fengtian's affairs at all, both of them smiled bitterly and had to follow him into the roast duck restaurant. The two of them had no intention of eating at all. However, Yang Rui had a very good appetite. The roast duck that he had not eaten in Shanghai was eaten in Beijing, so he simply ate it. He was prone to sleep when he was full. On the way back, he didn't say anything about business, so he found a bed and fell asleep when he arrived at the clan mansion.

Seeing Yang Rui sleeping, Xie Zhangtai turned pale and looked at Cai Yuanpei and said, "Mr. Jimin, what should I do?"

Cai Yuanpei actually had a short time with Yang Rui, so he had to ask Zhang Taiyan, "Uncle Mei, you can still eat and sleep well at this time, what should I do if I do in the Northeast?"

Zhang Taiyan was also surprised that the Japanese dared to attack Fengtian openly, but knew that it was not a hurry, so he said, "Let's discuss a solution first. Chong'an said that the ministerial group was asking for mediation by foreigners, but how could he not know that foreigners were waiting for us to come to the door? One of them was a black-faced person and the other was a white-faced person, so he wanted us to agree with their conditions. He actually said that it was not urgent, and that was useless. He also said that he wanted to make a big deal, which meant to involve things outside the pass, especially the Yangtze River... By the way, didn't there be a plan before, and you would know if you went to call Ji Mei over."

When Yang Rui made up his mind to overturn the table, the General Staff had a plan for Japan's provocation in the Northeast. The only thing he didn't know was that the dog god actually blew the train and just wanted to make this matter an international incident. When Bei Shoutong heard Zhang Taiyan's call, he looked at several people and briefly introduced the plan: "British and Japanese are allies, Britain is still the number one power, and now according to the rotating British Minister Juerdian, he is the leader and minister. Even if it was not instructed by British Minister Juerdian, he agreed to the situation in the Northeast. His intention was to ask us to agree to their conditions.

The general plan now is to transfer the war in the Northeast to the Yangtze River Basin. This is the British sphere of influence, but there are also Japanese consulates and merchants. Suppressing them will cause the Japanese navy to enter the Yangtze River. Once they enter the Yangtze River and fight with our army, the entire Yangtze River trade will be greatly affected. This will be what Britain and other countries care about the most. Once we make some moves on the Yangtze River and trade between China and Japan is cut off, the British will reconsider their pressure."

The plan of the General Staff was similar to the historical September 18th, but the users were the opposite. After Japan occupied Liaodong, in order to force China and other countries to agree, he chose to start a war in Shanghai. If he did not agree with Japan's occupation of the Northeast, he would destroy Shanghai. At that time, most of the industries in the Republic of China were concentrated in Shanghai. After a war, only 60% of the results were removed; now the General Staff also used the entire Yangtze River as bargaining chip, which meant that the whole country would fight together, and everyone would finish playing together.

"What should I do if the iron factory? What should I do if the MSG factory and chlor-alkali factory?" Xie Zhangtai asked. The two industries of Tianzi were the most important. At that time, the factory was built for convenient transportation, and they both chose the place near the river, but they did not want to be threatened by the Japanese Navy.

"The MSG factory has no choice. But the chlor-alkali factory still depends on the inside, only the factory built in the early stage is within the range of the naval gun shooting; this problem was taken into consideration at the beginning of the design of the iron plant Ma'anshan. The factory area is more than 20 kilometers away from the river. Only the Hanyang Iron Factory is on the riverside. I am afraid it will suffer some losses. However, when the Japanese Navy drove into the Yangtze River, they have to worry about Wusong Fort, Zhenjiang Fort, Jiujiang Fort and other forts. Now these forts are all in our hands. If they are really lost, they can still be mined. But if they really reach this point, there will be other parties in the UK to make a fuss."

"Mine is laid on the waterway, and I am afraid that the entire Yangtze River will be cut off before the mine is cleared." Xie Zhangtai said, "This is... this is to die with foreigners!"

"Yes, Mr. Chong'an. It means to die together. Now we don't have a navy, the Yangtze River Fleet, and the cruiser are not surrendering, we are just waiting and watching. Even if there is a navy, it's best to block the Yangtze River channel. If it is not blocked, foreigners will not feel any pain at all. Only when the shells fall on their heads and cannot make money will they be anxious." Mr. Bei Shou.

"Britain will definitely send troops to interfere in doing this." Cai Yuanpei now understands what Yang Rui's "makes big" means.

"Mr. Jimin, the situation in Europe is tense now, and the British have no time to come to China to interfere." Mr. Bei Shou.

"Yes... but doing this will only make all countries think that China is still a barbaric country. At the beginning of its founding, this international reputation cannot be defiled." Cai Yuanpei said that he had indeed been separated from the organization for too long and could not keep up with the pace at all.

"Mr. Jimin, Mr. Jingcheng said. Since it is impossible to be civilized, it is extremely barbaric. What we want is not recognition from foreigners, but to make them afraid, just as the people of the Song Dynasty were afraid of the Mongols! Only when they are afraid will they be taboo." Bei Shoutong said Yang Rui's words. The more revolutionary it was, the more he recognized it.

"This..." Cai Yuanpei was speechless. He looked at Zhang Taiyan. Unexpectedly, Zhang Taiyan also said: "When he was not a tiger, he was still a thin dog when he was a tiger skin. If he was a little more fierce, he would be a little more fierce. It would be a little more savage and a wolf can at least protect his territory."

"Uncle Mei, you are..." Seeing Zhang Taiyan's words so vulgar, Cai Yuanpei was disappointed. According to what he knew, the revolution was to build a civilized country. Only by facing various countries with a civilized attitude would the countries not look down on China as if they were despised by the Qing Dynasty. This was not only his idea, but also the idea of ​​other revolutionaries. But now the Revival Association wants to establish an "extremely barbaric" country. How can he accept this? Could this revolution be in vain? "I want to find it!" Cai Yuanpei was in a heavy mood and left after saying this.

Seeing that he couldn't think about it, Zhang Taiyan didn't persuade him, his thoughts always changed step by step. Besides, Japan has actually started a war, and in Zhang Taiyan's opinion, this matter is absolutely unbearable. Japan has annexed North Korea and Liaodong has lost another loss. Then the Japanese are outside Shanhaiguan. This is simply another Jiannu!

"The strategy is this strategy, but how do you do it specifically?" Xie Zhangtai asked, "It's impossible to take back the Japanese concession from the beginning, right?"

"At the beginning, it was just suppressing the Japanese compradors on the Yangtze River." Bei Shou, "Now, Japanese goods are imported 100 million taels a year. Except for the Northeast, the remaining ones are basically in the Yangtze River. Among them, cotton yarn is the heaviest, followed by cotton cloth and coal, but at the beginning, these things will not be moved. The initial agreement was to first move their Monkey matches, then coal and cotton yarn, and finally take over the concession. Only by taking over the concession will it cause war. The situation at that time was probably very bad."

Bei Shou also talked about the monkey matches, and Zhang Taiyan thought of Yu Qiaqing, the match king. As a result, he gave Guandong Bank more than one million taels of fragments, saying that he wanted to sell his money to support the revolution. With him, some merchants in Shanghai also paid a lot of money. I wonder if they wanted to buy it for Ping An or if they wanted to speculate to become a noble family.

"Have you started now?" Xie Zhangtai finally had a clue when he heard this.

"Not yet." said Beshou: "It always depends on the attitude of the ministerial mission, especially Zhu Erdian. Mr. Chong'an is familiar with diplomatic matters, and he can only control the degree of responsibility. If he takes one step, the General Staff cannot be determined."

"I understand." Xie Zhangtai said: "I don't know where the British want Japan to put pressure on them before they will stop. I don't know if they really die together, will the British compromise..."

Xie Zhangtai talked to himself, and he also understood that there is no card to play in the Revival Society now. There are benefits and disadvantages to transferring the war to the Yangtze River. If it is bad, all countries will blame the Revival Society. However, at this point, they have really been forced to resist. Once the delegation is accepted, the Congress will eventually surrender to the pressure of various countries and make a resolution that is unfavorable to the Revival Society. At that time, the proposals of the Congress will pass, and the revival Society will follow. The more embarrassed the revival society will be.

After Xie Zhangtai knew the plan, he was only peaceful for a moment, and then another note from the ministerial regiment was sent over. The above mentioned the matter of Fengtian. He asked the two sides to cease fire, and then the local consul consul and the garrison team would go on a round of inspection. Looking at the counselor Ma Mule in front of him, Xie Zhangtai asked: "Mr. Ma Mule. Why must I go to Fengtian City for inspection? Did the Japanese see the bomb burying people flee into Fengtian City?"

"Mr. Xie, the Japanese envoy said that the night before the explosion, an army was spent overnight in Sujiatun. During the conversation, they said that they were from the Fuxing Society. They also said that they would go to Fengtian City to meet the Grandmaster Zhang the next day. So the Japanese garrison believed that the murderer was not only the Fuxing Army, but also they were in Fengtian City." Mamule reposted the words of Ijiyuan Yoshiki. Although he did not believe it, it was diplomacy.

"It's okay to enter the city, but only railway police can be sent in. The railway garrison guards the railway, and it's not appropriate for them to enter the city. In addition, before entering the city, the Japanese envoy asked him to explain what Shanqi's appearance meant in the northeast." Xie Zhangtai said.

"Mr. Xie, Shanqi's matter is not within the scope of my negotiations. If you have any questions, please give me a note." Mamule said.

"Okay! I happened to have a note here, and I asked Mr. Mamule to bring it back to the mission." Xie Zhangtai was prepared for a long time, so he took out a note from the secretary, and then said: "Whenever the Japanese minister explains the matter of Shanqi, their police will enter the city."

"Mr. Xie, if you have to link the Shanqi incident with the bombing of the South Manchurian Railway, the conflict will only continue and will hinder the investigation of the truth of the matter. In addition, I want to make it clear that the mission regrets that your choice of this approach will only make the current situation worse, just like Mr. Yang's speech in Shanghai." Mamule expressed his dissatisfaction, and he felt that this time it was in vain.

"Mr. Mamule, in fact, according to international law, we have no obligation to assist in the investigation of the railway explosion. The mission should notify the Qing government, not us." Xie Zhangtai said, he wanted to turn things around again to the mission's recognition of the Revival Society, but Mamule obviously did not want to discuss this, but just said politely. He believed that the Chinese would eventually be unable to help but come to the mission.

As soon as Mamull returned to the embassy, ​​Juerdian looked at him and asked, "William, is Yang Jingcheng very anxious?"

"No. Xie was the one who met me this time, but he didn't see Yang Jingcheng." Mamule said, "I think he should be studying countermeasures with his staff at this time, and then pretending to be unwilling to see me."

"Oh. I don't want to see you? That means they don't want to compromise with the ministry." Juerdian lit up the cigar that had not finished smoking, and the room was suddenly filled with smoke.

"Maybe that's the case, but Xie said that Yang Jingcheng was sleeping. I guess this is not true." Ma Muller said. In fact, when he was in the clan mansion just now, he saw Cai, the leader of the Fuxing Society who was arrested a few years ago, being blocked by the guards in front of a room. The guards seemed to say that the people inside were sleeping and did not let Cai in. As Cai's identity, the only person who could stop him was Yang Jingcheng. This is Ma Muller's inference, but it is also possible that Fuxing Society was deliberately trying to show him. The purpose is to make the ministerial delegation believe that Fuxing would not be afraid of Japan making trouble in the Northeast.

"I think in a few days, when the Japanese army arrives, they will be anxious." Juerdian said: "Japan has decided to send two divisions, one to the Northeast and the other to Tianjin. If the situation worsens, then there will be more troops in the future. William, they will soon surrender."

"I hope so. But, sir, what if the Japanese really want to occupy Manchuria?" Mamull said with some concern.

"Don't worry, William. Japan needs to have the courage to occupy Manchuria, and it will not withdraw its troops after the Russo-Japanese War. They are actually increasing their troops to want more privileges and even squeeze the Americans out of the Northeast. Therefore, as long as their requirements are met, they will withdraw their troops in the end." Zhu Erdian said with a relaxed look on his face. Britain has done a lot of such a lack of money. Even if it makes a mess in the Northeast, it will be just the United States' unlucky and he has nothing to worry about.

Yang Rui slept until the sun set, which was the only time he had been sleeping in half a month. When Chen Guangshou saw him wake up, he reported various matters like him. The most important one was that the Kanto Army in Kanto Prefecture had mobilized northward. Now it seems that the Japanese are going to increase their troops to Fengtian, and the war is expanding.

"Sir, in the morning, the ministerial delegation sent a note to us to cease fire, and then the consuls of various countries and the Japanese searched Fengtian City. Mr. Chong'an only agreed to Japan to send police, and asked the Japanese side to explain the reason why Shanqi appeared in the Northeast. The ministerial delegation refused the note, believing that this was not within the scope of negotiations." Chen Guangshou said.

"Are they old men? What is within the scope of negotiation and what is no longer within the scope of negotiation, it depends on their words." Yang Rui said. "When can the Japanese ministries reach the Northeast?"

"It's already started. We will board the ship tomorrow and the next two days, and we will arrive in Lushun in about seven days. Mr., it seems that the Japanese are really going to have a big battle." Chen Guangshou said.

"What a big battle between the two divisions, it's just a scary one." Yang Rui said, "That's when these two divisions were all invested in the Northeast, there were only four divisions with 50,000 people in the Northeast. They came just in time. Once the Qing army in Zhili in the capital was solved, we can transport the weapons to the Northeast. If we really want to fight, we'll fight a little bigger."

"Sir, Mr. Jimin came just now. He said that he should never act irritatedly, nor should he start a war with Japan. If this is the case, the results of the revolution will only be destroyed." Cai Yuanpei was stopped by Chen Guangshou in the afternoon, but he persuaded him for a long time before he persuaded him to leave.

After Chen Guangshou and Cai Yuanpei's reposting, Yang Rui did not react at all. After a while, he said, "Where is Yuan Shikai? Have you arrived in Tianjin?"

Feeling Yang Rui's ignorance of Cai Yuanpei, Chen Guangshou replied: "The information just now said that he was here. Consuls from various countries in Tianjin, the governor of Zhili and others personally went to the railway station to greet him. Mr. and another person also came to Tianjin."

"Oh! Who else is coming to Tianjin?" Yang Rui asked curiously.

"Song Jiaoren and Yuan Shikai arrived in the same car." Chen Guangshou said. "We judged that Song Jiaoren should have arrived in Anyang earlier than the Hankou Consular Guard. After meeting Yuan Shikai, he came to Tianjin with him. The Tongmenghui is probably going to transfer to Yuan Shikai."

"Just them." Yang Rui only felt funny, "There were a bunch of bad guys in Guangzhou, and hundreds of people wanted to occupy Guangzhou City. It's a joke! They didn't do anything better except assassination? If Song Jiaoren really wanted to tie Yuan Shikai together, he would only be considered an enemy in the future."

When Yang Rui said that Song Jiaoren was meeting with Cheng Jiaoren. A few days ago, the Revival Association attacked Beijing, and Cheng Jiaoren happened to work in Tianjin. He didn't expect the world to change color overnight. After the telegrams from all over the place were connected, he was arranged by Sun Wen to investigate the news from various places in Tianjin, but he didn't expect to meet Song Jiaoren at the train station this afternoon.

"Dunchu, why did you come to Tianjin? Why did you come with Yuan Shikai?" After leaving behind others, Cheng Jiao asked bluntly. Song Jiaoren's reasons for forming the Central Tongmenghui was sufficient. In Cheng Jiaozhen's view, it was still a splitting Tongmenghui, so he had no good impression of Song Jiaoren.

"Yunsun, now all other places in China except for this Zhili province have been occupied by the Revival Society. Oh, no, Guangdong and Guangxi were occupied by Fu Ren Wenshe. The revolution has been completed now..." Song Jiaoren said, but his words were interrupted by Cheng Jiao.

"How can you say that the revolution has been completed? The Revival Association will soon establish another emperor. Our revolution is not over yet." Cheng Jiaxiao and Sun Wen directly contacted Sun Wen and knew a lot of things. "Dunchu, don't you know that Zhu Kuan-hyun was selling the founding bonds overseas in the Ming Dynasty. If you buy 500,000 taels of founding bonds, you can be awarded a title and a house. This is simply to come back to Manren's set, and they also want to enslave the people."
