Chapter 37 Who defects to whom?

Chang Ruiqing's expression was still not moving at all. He took Jin Yongyan's hand and walked into the yard. After Chang Ruiqing's model group moved to Fengtai County, Yan Hao secretly rented it. The yard was very dilapidated and there were a lot of miscellaneous items. Jin Yongyan, who had been used to enjoying it, glanced around and couldn't help but frowned and thought to himself: "What's the use of Chang Ruiqing's yard? It's impossible to raise a little wife, and he doesn't live in it himself. Is it just to arrange for this meeting to rent it temporarily?"

Jin Yongyan, full of suspicion, followed Chang Ruiqing into the main hall. The main hall was cleaner. A circle of chairs and coffee tables were placed along the wall, but there was no other decoration. He and Chang Ruiqing each found a chair and sat down, while the others were all blocked by Chang Ruiqing's guards. After a while, a young man who was about to touch 16 or 7 years old, probably Chang Ruiqing's orderly sent two cups of tea on it, and then turned around and left.

"Principal, it's an extraordinary time now, and I'll forgive you for not being well-received." Chang Ruiqing bowed to Jin Yongyan and said with a smile: "The principal is now a person around President Li, and the students are now protecting Mr. Duan Zhi. When they meet and reminisce about the past, it's really suspicious if it is spread."

Jin Yongyan felt a stern heart, and withdrew his previous complacent feelings, and also took action: "Brother Yaoru, I'm not hiding it. Brother Yu is here to send a letter to the president, and at the same time he also wants to get a real reply from me." As he said that, he took out two envelopes from his suit pocket and handed them to Chang Ruiqing.

Chang Ruiqing took the envelope with both hands and opened one of them first. What he took out was a letter of appointment from the "Presidential Office Guard Brigade Commander"! He was slightly stunned and thought to himself: "What medicine did Li Yuanhong take wrong? You don't think he would betray Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng went to surrender to him, the short president? No! Li Yuanhong is not that stupid, there must be something else."

The situation in Beijing is extremely complicated and history has changed slightly, and even Chang Ruiqing is a little confused. He thought about it carefully and felt that it was probably because Li Yuanhong had reached a deal with Zhang Xun and was about to attract the wolf into the house. He should have won him over to prevent Zhang Xun, the wolf, not Duan Qirui, the Beiyang tiger. Thinking of this, he opened another envelope, which contained Li Yuanhong's handwritten letter, and there was nothing in it, just some words to entrust officials to make wishes and win over feelings.

After reading the letter, Chang Ruiqing's thick eyebrows gradually frowned. He looked at the lobbyist Jin Yongyan with an expectant expression and said lightly: "Principal, I believe the situation in Beijing will soon change again, right?"

Jin Yongyan picked up the teacup and took a sip, smiled and asked back, "Why should Brother Yaoru ask knowingly? Now you are a celebrity around Xu Youzheng. I'm afraid you know the situation than me, the adviser of the presidential office?" He took it upon himself without waiting for Chang Ruiqing to answer: "But the current situation is not something Duan Zhiquan, the Prime Minister of State, can control it! I might as well tell me clearly that Zhang Shaoxuan, the leader of the Federation of the Thirteen Provinces and Regions, has secretly reached an agreement with the president and decided to stand on the side of the president! The telegram against the State Council's declaration of war on Germany has probably been issued?"

History has indeed returned to its original track. Li Yuanhong is indeed going to lead the wolf into the house in the face of the threat of the coup! But isn’t Chang Ruiqing also waiting for this day?

He picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said coldly: "What's next? President Li should order the removal of Duan Zhiquan's Prime Minister, and then ask Zhang Xun to lead troops to Beijing to mediate the so-called dispute between the government and the court?"

Jin Yongyan was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the other party would know his next move clearly! Did Duan Qirui already know everything? Thinking of this, a layer of fine beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead.

Chang Ruiqing sighed long ago: "Who is Zhang Xun? What kind of organization is the so-called 13 provinces and regions Federation? The center is almost lost. Can President Li take a step back and broaden the sky? Do you have to fight for military power with Mr. Duan Zhi again?" A hint of mockery appeared on the corner of his mouth: "In fact, Mr. Duan Zhi's Army Department has military power? Except for a regiment of my younger brother, other troops have to use foreign money to command! What's the use of such military power?"

Jin Yongyan looked at Chang Ruiqing. What kind of abacus is this man playing? How are Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng preparing to play cards?

"Principal, the student is going to bet with you," Chang Ruiqing suddenly looked at Jin Yongyan with a smile again: "No matter whether Zhang Xun's braided army comes to Beijing or not, the president of Li Huangpi (Li Yuanhong) can't be a few days! In today's chaotic times of the Republic of China, the army has long become the private property of warlords like us! Haha, the student now has a regiment of soldiers, and can barely be considered a warlord. And how many soldiers are there in Li Huangpi? I'm afraid there is not a battalion, right? Such a president

What else can you do if you don’t act as a seal? Principal, Li Huangpi cannot do it. Everyone knows this, but with the principal’s talent, why bother to bury Li Huangpi? Otherwise, when the president of Li Huangpi stops, the principal might as well consider the students’ place? At that time, the students will always have a mixed brigade commander, and I’m afraid they can go further in the future. If the principal does not have a good place, why should he come to the students to act as a senior account? How about it?”

Jin Yongyan was stunned when he heard this. He was clearly here to lobby Chang Ruiqing for surrender. Unexpectedly, this student turned around and grabbed him! A mere regiment leader was so loud, as if he was in charge of the commander. He was really overestimating his ability. He was about to refute a few words, but suddenly he saw Chang Ruiqing take out a piece of letter paper from somewhere and handed it to Jin Yongyan. He smiled and said, "Principal, this was brought by a friend from my hometown in Xuzhou. All my family members have been protected by Zhang Xuanshuai's men... I'm just regiment leader, and he is so troublesome. I'm afraid that Zhang Xuanshuai will have a big plan after entering Beijing!"

Jin Yongyan was shocked and hurriedly took the letter and took a look. The content of the letter was indeed about Zhang Xun's "protecting" Chang Ruiqing's parents and "recruiting" Chang Ruiyuan to the Supervisor's Office. The signature of the letter was "Little Sister Yan'er", and his handwriting was also very beautiful. I wonder what it had to do with Chang Ruiqing?

Why did Zhang Xun put Chang Ruiyuan under house arrest? Was he forced him to betray Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng to his disciples? Jin Yongyan shook his head secretly. Zhang Xun could not be so cruel, it was just an internal conflict in Beiyang. If he threatened his parents and family, he would probably be the public enemy of the Beiyang group! Who has no parents, wife and children? This is a taboo. Moreover, Zhang Xun doesn't seem to be necessary to do that. With his status as the leader of the army, plus the title of the president and Congress, he can force Duan Qirui away without bloodshed. Without Duan Qirui, the Prime Minister of State, how much role can Chang Ruiqing's regiment play? Unless Zhang Xun really wants to do something ruthless in Beijing! He was afraid that Chang Ruiqing's regiment would cause trouble for him at a critical moment, so he had to come up with this bad strategy.

"Yaoru, what are you going to do?" Jin Yongyan looked at Chang Ruiqing with a pale face.

Chang Ruiqing was silent for a while, shrugged and smiled bitterly, "What else can I do? Of course, only Xu Zhenggong and Duan Zhi's old horse will follow."

"What if they were driven out of office by the President and Zhang Shaoxuan?"

Chang Ruiqing sighed softly, looking embarrassed: "It's better to take Xu Zhenggong and Duan Zhi as the leader. We all know what Zhang Xun wants to do. As for what the whole world will react, it's unknown... At that time, no one can compete with the general trend of the world, right?" As he said, he looked at Jin Yongyan sincerely: "Principal, I have soldiers in my hand, and there are big trees like Duan Zhigong, Xu Zhenggong. As long as I don't jump out and make things difficult for him, he will not touch my family. As for the president, haha, I'm afraid it's difficult to get on the tiger now, right? Principal, this situation is not something you have the strength to change at all, so why don't you consider the students' suggestions. Students will not stay in Beijing for the rest of their lives, and then the students will still want to rely on the people in the south."

Chang Ruiqing really thought about this. He knew that the warlords in the Republic of China could never solve problems by relying on guns alone, and he did not have overwhelming force. What kind of silver bullets, meat bullets, and friendship skills are sometimes more effective than simple force! With Jin Yongyan's relationship with the warlords and the Kuomintang, if he could really rely on himself temporarily, it would definitely be of great use in the future.
