Chapter 19 Zhang Xun’s plan

Today, the Japanese who came to Xuzhou Daotai Yamen to meet Zhang Bianshuai are of great origin.

Among these Japanese, including Major General Tanaka Yoshiichi Tanaka, the deputy chief of the Japanese Army General Staff, who came to Xuzhou with the secret order of the Japanese Prime Minister Masato Tsaiu, who had just come to power. Another is "an old friend of the Qing Dynasty", Kawashima Natsusu, known as the "mainland ronin", the adoptive father of the famous female spy Kawashima Yoshiko. Accompanying them to visit was an old Chinese man who was around 60 years old, wearing a long robe and jacket, and a small braid of five or six inches long on the back of his head. It was the famous Kang Youwei and Kang Da Saint! The purpose of these three people visiting together was naturally to restore the Qing Dynasty that had just fallen for a few years!

After several like-minded "friends" sat down in the reception room of Xuzhou Daotai Yamen, they naturally felt a harmonious atmosphere.

Zhang Xun sat on the chair in the head, smiling so hard that he could not stop. He kept calling his listeners to everyone for tea. Japanese Major General Yoshiichi Tanaka looked like he had just won the grand prize, smiling, but he looked a little vulgar (not an insult, but really not good-looking. If you don't believe it, you can go and see the photos). However, Kawashima Rasu doesn't look like a ronin at all, but he looks like a stern old pedan with round eyes with black wooden frames. His face is a bit dull on his face, as if he has not yet walked out of the shadow of the failure of the "Second Manchu Movement".

As for Saint Kang, he could only say he was excited. His little eyes were full of glare. He looked at Zhang Dashuai of the Braid Army happily. Perhaps he saw the hope of restoration of the Qing Dynasty from the braid on the back of the head!

After the tea was over, Zhang Xun waved his hand, and the servants who were serving him, the maids and others disappeared immediately. Then he saw Dashuai Zhang laughing and bowing to several visitors: "General Tanaka, Mr. Kawashima, Mr. Nanhai (Kang Youwei), I, Zhang, also know the purpose of you, and I, Zhang, are my wishes," as he said, he lifted his braid, pinched a big white braid in his hand, and smiled and said, "I'm afraid there is nothing in China that I don't know. So we

Don't go around the corner, say whatever you say... In the past, Gong Bao was still there, so we can't let others down. Besides, Beiyang was not something that our 60th battalions of braided soldiers could shake. But now Gong Bao is no longer there, and the people in Beiyang have become dissatisfied. The current situation is getting worse day by day, and I don't know much worse than the days when there is an emperor! I guess, the people have had enough of the crime of the republic, and it's better to miss the emperor. Everyone, is this the truth?"

"It's reasonable to say it, it's reasonable to say it! Now the general situation of the Republic is over, and restoring the Qing Dynasty is what people want. As long as the general climbs up and calls, the whole world will respond!" Kang Youwei's reaction was the most enthusiastic. As soon as Zhang Xun finished speaking, he jumped up and agreed loudly.

The Japanese, Yoshi Tanaka, glanced at Kang Sheng, and said in a somewhat stiff Chinese: "The Great Japanese Empire is also deeply uneasy about the increasingly serious chaos in China since the Republic of China. Such chaos has seriously affected the Empire's interests in China, so the Empire also hopes that China can restore its previous stability." This is insincere. The Japanese made an indelible contribution to China's current chaos. He smiled and continued: "But the action to restore the Qing Dynasty should still be discussed for a long time. After all... Mr. Zhang's military strength is not enough to fight from Xuzhou to Beijing, right?"

Zhang Xun smiled and nodded, "As long as people's hearts are still facing the Qing Dynasty, I have a way to take down this Beijing city, but where will Japan's AIA stand at that time?"

Hearing Zhang Xun's expression of having a way to take Beijing, Tanaka Yoshiichi's eyebrows slightly raised, and the smile on his face became even brighter. He nodded hurriedly and said, "The Japanese Empire must stand on the side of the Qing Dynasty, there is no doubt." As he said that, he paused again and asked, "I don't know, what method does Zhang Dashen have to take Beijing? Can you reveal one or two?"

When Zhang Xun saw Tanaka's confusion, he laughed: "Well... it's in the current dispute between the government and the court."

"The dispute between the government and the court?" Kawashima Ransu, who had not spoken, muttered in a low voice. He had been planning the "main-class" since the Minyuan period, running between Mongolian nobles in Inner Mongolia and Qing dynasty in the northeast, and once organized a small armed force, but was wiped out by the Feng army not long ago. This time, he came to Xuzhou as a representative of several Qing dynasty in the northeast to contact Zhang Xun, and at the same time he wanted to sell his methods to this loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty.

"Does Mr. Kawashima have any opinions?" Zhang Xun knew that Kawashima had a close relationship with several princes of the Qing Dynasty and was considered his fellow disciples, so he was very polite to him.

Kawashima said oh, revealing a solemn expression: "Master Zhang, I think that the biggest difficulty in restoring the Qing Dynasty at present is that Emperor Xuantong is controlled by the Beijing government. The emperor lives in the Forbidden City in Beijing, surrounded by the army of the Republic of China. His Majesty does not even have the minimum personal freedom. In this case, even if someone raises the flag of uprising in the local area, he will not be able to get enough response because there is no call from His Majesty the Emperor as a call. Therefore, the primary task of restoring the Qing Dynasty should be to rescue His Majesty himself from the control of the Beijing government, take it to Xuzhou, and then..."

Zhang Xun smiled and waved his hand to interrupt Kawashima Ransu: "It's not necessary, it's not necessary. Didn't Zhang say that he is confident that he can take over Beijing? It only takes Japan to cooperate with Zhang's arrangements, and there will be a thank you later."

Seeing Zhang Xun's confidence-filled look, Tanaka Yoichi and Kawashima Natsuo looked at each other and stopped talking. Kang Youwei became even more excited and began to recite poems and talked, and kept praising Zhang Dashu...

...

With a long hiss, the train slowly approached the platform with rolling steam. The platform was already full of officers of all levels of the Braid Army coming to greet, as well as celebrities and gentry in Xuzhou City. Zhang Xun himself was wearing a straight Beiyang woolen general uniform, leaning on a Western-style command knife in his hand, and stood there calmly and reservedly surrounded by a ticket of generals and listeners. Looking at his face, there seemed to be a hint of anxiety hidden in his excitement. This time, the third general meeting of the army was held in Xuzhou. Today was Xu Shuzheng, the representative of Duan Qirui, who came to the meeting. The purpose of his meeting was to lobby the governors from all over the country to support the central government in declaring war on Germany. However, he, Zhang Xun and Zhang, wanted to test the views of the generals of the various families on the restoration of the Qing Dynasty at this time in the Xuzhou general meeting!

As soon as the train was finished, he saw Xu Shuzheng's military uniforms were straight, wearing German cowhide boots, and walking down with a group of escorts. Today, he also changed his serious and stereotyped image. A chubby face was filled with smiles. When he saw Zhang Xun from a distance, he bowed his hand and walked over with a smile. Zhang Xun also smiled and bowed back: "Brother Youzheng, I finally hope you! What our supervisory team wants to discuss is to oppose the Kuomintang and support Duan Zhi. You are a celebrity in front of Duan Zhi, and you are just a celebrity to give your brother some advice. How should you help Duan Zhi eliminate all the ill-conspired and ill-intentioned riots now!"

When Xu Shuzheng heard Zhang Xun's words, he smiled and said, "Xuan Shuai, since you want me to give me an idea, I'm not polite. Now, Beiyang wants to eliminate the Southwest Disruptor Party. The key to unifying China is to declare war on Germany as soon as possible!" Zhang Xun was stunned when he heard this (probably pretending), and blurted out: "This Southwest Disruptor Party is not supported by Germany later. How can we say that the key to eliminating the Southwest Disruptor Party lies in declaring war on Germany?"

Xu Shuzheng said sincerely: "Shishuai's words are wrong. Although the rebellion is not supported by Germany, the environment for the rebellion can only be changed by participating in the European war... When we participate in the European war, we are naturally allies of Britain, France, Russia and Japan. In order to allow us to send troops to help the war with peace of mind, they must also relax the treaties tied to us. As long as the power of state can be restored bit by bit, the center can regain reputation, the rebellion will naturally have no excuse to bewitch people's hearts, and we can win without a fight!"
