Seeing that Yuan Shikai was serious, Wang Shizhen could only reply: "My subordinates will send people to investigate more. As long as Liu Zhenming's hometown is in the Beijing-Tianjin-Shandong area, we will definitely be able to find out his background."
Yuan Shikai meowed slightly and saw Wang Shizhen's face seemed to be somewhat disapproving, obviously dissatisfied with his dedicated service to the British.
Yuan Shikai sighed heavily and couldn't help but said: "I think our vast China is now barely maintaining unity. Any external force can make the Central Plains fall into pieces. If the British are so angry about Liu Zhenming's incident,
It will only make things worse. If Liu Zhenming's family members are found, the British government can be appeased. This is already the minimum price to pay."
"The national situation is difficult. If Lafayette had not been deceived by the Boxer Rebellion at that time, there would not be today's disaster." Yuan Shikai began to speak ill of the court again, but the ill words were very obscure and could only be seen.
Although he was very patriotic, there was no trace of dissatisfaction with the imperial court.
Wang Shizhen couldn't help but agree: "Yes, Lafayette always does things with foresight, but this time..."
When Yuan Shikai heard what he said, a smile appeared on his lips to win over people's hearts. He not only wanted others to see how good he was, but also wanted others to see how bad his opponent was.

After the news spread that Liu Zhenming led a group of Chinese to defeat the Canadian pursuers, it caused a great sensation in North America, and the Canadian government lost face.
The Canadian government's explanation to the people was that because Liu Zhenming and others had heavy weapons, the army was caught off guard.
Moreover, Canadian Prime Minister Wilfrid Laurier promised the people that the trouble would be solved as soon as possible. More than a thousand British Marines have been ordered to go to Kamloops from their base in Victoria to lead this encirclement and suppression campaign.
If all armies arrive in Kamloops to encircle and suppress Liu Zhenming's army, there will be more than 5,000 people, more than 1,000 British Marines, more than 1,000 Drunni remnants, and more than 3,000 Kamloops troops.
, the Northwest RCMP and the volunteer militia in the Vancouver area.
Whenever the Canadian army and the British army operate together, the initiative is in the hands of the British army. This time, no different, the British had already sent a telegram to Drunni before setting off, asking him not to act rashly until the British army arrived.
, act together again.
Drunni had been asking for it, and now he had extremely doubts about his ability. The conflict between blacks and whites in the Kamloops area had already made him anxious.
Most of the black people who escaped from the town had shot and killed white people. After they escaped, in order to survive, they naturally exaggerated, told all the shortcomings of the white people in Kamloops, and called on other black people to resist together.
Although black people are the group with the weakest sense of resistance, they will also kill, set fire to, and rob when their lives are in danger.
If Druni doesn't deal with it in time, there will probably be another group of robbers around Kamloops.
After some Chinese people in British Columbia learned that Liu Zhenming defeated the Canadian pursuers, they had some strange thoughts in their hearts. Now it is becoming more and more difficult for Chinese people to make a living in the United States and Canada.
Not to mention all kinds of discrimination, the US and Canadian governments also confiscated all Chinese weapons and set up a police station in Chinatown, which was called to maintain order, but in fact it was to monitor the Chinese.
This is better. Some bad states and provinces have begun to expel Chinese. First check them like household registration. If they enter the United States and Canada illegally, they will be sent back immediately. If they enter the United States and Canada legally, they will be separated.
You have to go to the police station to report your whereabouts after a while.
In short, throughout North America, white society is guarding against Chinese people just like they guard against thieves and robbers. The Chinese group is originally a vulnerable group. If they are treated like this, their lives will be even more miserable. It is difficult to find a job. Sometimes,
There will also be life-threatening danger...
At this time, these Chinese workers have two choices: one is to return to China, and the other is to continue to endure and wait for this wave of anti-China sentiment to pass.
It is unrealistic to return to China. The situation at home is not much better than in North America. Overseas, we are only oppressed by white people. But when we return to China, there are countless mountains of oppression.
The news of Liu Zhenming's victory gave the Chinese a third option, that is, if Liu Zhenming could stabilize and continue to win once or twice, some Chinese with a rebellious spirit might come to join him.
The Chinese in British Columbia are even more blessed and ready to move.
However, when the U.S. and Canadian governments focused all their attention on the Chinese society, the U.S. government failed to notice that the number of Fenians heading to the western region increased suddenly.
Under the secret organization of the Fenian Society, these Fenians were broken into pieces and slowly entered Washington State, which is adjacent to British Columbia, in batches. A more violent storm was quietly coming.
of gathering.
In Xinhuaxia Village, the Chinese Self-Rescue Army is still conducting brutal military training. The soldiers have been sent into the mountains by Liu Zhenming to learn jungle warfare.
The small gold mine has been renamed New Huaxia Village by Liu Zhenming, and Liu Zhenming has announced that the establishment will be expanded by one level, from a battalion to a regiment.
Although Xinhuaxia Village is close to the railway line, due to its unique terrain, Liu Zhenming has recently been considering whether to use it as a fixed base.
The situation in the mining area has been clearly understood by the Self-Rescue Army. Considering all aspects, Wei Jichen believes that this is a good place for guerrilla attacks. First of all, there are many water sources here, with small lakes and the like everywhere, and rich fish resources.
Secondly, this is a mountainous area, which is not suitable for large-scale armies to attack at the same time.
The soldiers of the reconnaissance company went out to inquire about the situation every day, and continuously sent the surrounding intelligence to Liu Zhenming's hands. From the mouths of the white prisoners, Liu Zhenming had a clearer understanding of the situation in British Columbia.
A simple house in the mine was crowded with generals at all levels. Liu Zhenming stood at the front and was giving military lessons to these generals.
"Guerrilla, guerrilla, travel means walking, attack means fighting, swimming without fighting means running away, fighting without moving means desperateism, the essence of guerrilla warfare is: when the enemy advances, we retreat, when the enemy retreats, we advance, when the enemy is tired
I fight, and the enemy flees while I chase. This is a helpless choice for those who are weaker than the opponent. It is practical, but very effective!" Liu Zhenming looked at the faces below that were full of curiosity and spoke very enthusiastically.
In order to cultivate military talents, Liu Zhenming opened a military school. He not only went to battle personally as a teacher, but also taught some basic combat ideas to his generals.
In addition, Liu Zhenming also opened a night school to allow the soldiers to learn calligraphy and literacy in their free time at night. Liu Zhenming hoped to train every soldier as an elite.
Just like after Germany's World War I, its country had to reduce its army and reduce its soldiers. However, the German military department formulated a line for elite soldiers and trained every ordinary soldier as an officer. Until World War II, when Germany expanded its army, it was basically
Don't worry about not having enough officers.
