Speaking of the word "ding", Cao Kun immediately thought of the eldest son Yuan Keding. Last time in Zhongnanhai, if the Japanese minister hadn't suddenly appeared, maybe those assassins would have really killed the president under the coercion of the eldest son. Recently,
He also heard that the eldest son was active up and down, and many people in the Congress were very close to the eldest son.
Yuan Shikai had long seen Yuan Keding's actions and understood Yuan Keding's intentions. However, it was his son after all. Yuan Shikai only gave a warning and ended it hastily, while being laughed at by others. This time was different. Cao Kun received the news that Yuan Keding secretly
Prepare a death squad, the purpose is unknown, it is very likely to target Yuan Shikai.
After Zhang Banxian said this, he immediately shut up. No matter how hard Cao Kun tried to coerce him, he refused to speak. Cao Kun waved his hand: "Press down, lock him up first, and wait for me to come back."
After leaving the mansion, Cao Kun took his carriage and went straight to the Presidential Palace. If the fortune teller was telling the truth, it seemed that the eldest son had already started to attack the president. This matter should be told to the president immediately.
Turning the corner, Liu Wu took off his sunglasses and fake beard, and glanced at the other side of the corner. He happened to see Cao Kun getting on his carriage, and he smiled faintly: "Is this Cao Kun so impatient?"
Hei Wa said: "The sooner, the better! When Yuan Shikai and Yuan Keding and his son start fighting, there will be a good show!"
Back at the leather goods shop, Hei Wa vividly demonstrated Liu Wu's fortune teller skills to Ma Xingkong. Everyone laughed. Zhang Xueliang smiled and said: "It's done, all we have to do is wait! Let's see how Yuan Shikai deals with Yuan Keding.
!”
Ma Xingkong asked: "Second brother, if Yuan Shikai suppresses Yuan Keding, will it be a foregone conclusion that he will proclaim himself emperor? If Yuan Shikai really proclaims himself emperor, what are your Northeast Army going to do?"
Zhang Xueliang said: "My father has ordered the army to be stationed at Shanhaiguan, and they can march into the pass at any time. As long as Yuan Shikai dares to proclaim himself emperor, I believe that people will soon lose their hearts. When all the armies arrive, Yuan Shikai's days will be over!"
"
"Then if we move to Yuan Shikai, will the Northeast Army rule the capital?" Hei Wa asked.
Zhang Xueliang shook his head: "Probably not. Li Yuanhong, Feng Guozhang, Duan Qirui and Cao Kun, Yuan Shikai's confidants, are all people who are unjust and unjust. The capital will most likely become their world. The Protectorate Army in the south will leave."
It's further out of reach!"
"So, the capital will be in chaos?" Ma Xingkong asked.
Zhang Xueliang said: "It should be! These people have soldiers and horses in their hands, and they might get into trouble!"
Ma Xingkong nodded: "Very good! As long as there is chaos in the capital, Scar will definitely not be able to escape!"
"Brother, do you want me to go to Dongjiaomin Alley and keep an eye on it to see if Scar can come out? If he comes out, kill him! We don't have to wait for so long. We don't know when Yuan Shikai will become emperor. What if Yuan Shikai becomes emperor?
All plans fell through soon?" Hei Wa said.
Zhang Xueliang said: "Impossible. The emperor of the Qing Dynasty was overthrown. Yuan Shikai wants to be emperor again. Not to mention the heavily armed governors in each province, even the people and students will not agree! There are not many people on the streets these days.
Parading against the monarchy? Yuan Shikai will definitely not last long!"
"Even so, we can't bet all our money on others!" Hei Wa continued.
Ma Xingkong nodded: "Heizi is right, you can't hang yourself on a tree. Starting tomorrow, you and Long Jie will go to Dongjiaomin Lane to watch. If you see a scar, let us know immediately!"
Zhang Xueliang still wanted to stop him, but seeing that Ma Xingkong had already said it, he just sighed and said nothing. Since Scar is a Japanese, he must be careful in handling it, otherwise it will bring disaster to the entire Republic of China. Japan is in Northeast China
A large number of soldiers have been stationed, and they have already been watching with eager eyes. They must be very careful when dealing with Japan. This is Zhang Zuolin's advice to Zhang Xueliang.
The next few days were not as Ma Xingkong and Zhang Xueliang thought. Yuan Keding still often sent people to ask Ma Xingkong to come over to speak, and he was very polite to Ma Xingkong. Yuan Keding was chatting and laughing, and it was impossible to tell whether it was wrong or not.
There has been a showdown with Yuan Shikai.
Early that morning, Yuan Keding's people came again and invited Ma Xingkong to come over for a banquet. Ma Xingkong took Liu Wu and Long Jie with him. Yuan Keding greeted them at the gate. As usual, Yuan Keding was chatting and laughing.
Halfway through the banquet, Yuan Keding waved off his men and said to Ma Xingkong: "I haven't taken action in the past few days. I was waiting for the opportunity. Now that the opportunity has come, it depends on whether Mr. Ma has the courage to save the country and the people!"
Ma Xingkong said: "What opportunity?"
"Tomorrow at noon, the President is going to Baoding. There will be a farewell ceremony at the train station. I will send troops to escort him!" Yuan Keding lowered his voice and brought his mouth close to Ma Xingkong: "There are people coming and going at the station, even if the person you are protecting is no longer there.
It's a very dangerous place. I heard that Mr. Ma's marksmanship is superb. Do you know if it's true or not?"
"What time is it tomorrow?"
"Twelve o'clock at noon! Right at Qianmen Railway Station!"
Ma Xingkong nodded: "This is a good opportunity, but there is no one who can take advantage of it..."
"Don't worry about this!" Yuan Keding smiled and shouted out the door: "Bring it in!"
Two soldiers walked in holding a regular wooden box. Yuan Keding stood up, limped over, opened the lid of the box, and stretched out his hand to take out a regular rifle. This gun was particularly long, as long as four feet.
The tube takes up more than half of it. The bolt and stock behind it are streamlined and very beautiful.
Yuan Keding weighed it twice with his hands and introduced: "Authentic British products, they are more accurate than those made in Hanyang, have a longer range, and can hold ten rounds of bullets. Their names are..."
A sergeant next to him said hurriedly: "Lee Enferty rifle!"
"Yes! Lee Enferti!" Yuan Keding threw the gun into Ma Xingkong's arms: "Try it! The British told me that this is the most advanced gun in the world, so they gave it to Mr. Ma!"
Ma Xingkong looked up and down, left and right. Both the feeling and the production process were indeed much better than those made in Hanyang. It was particularly comfortable to hold in his hand. He couldn't wait to put it on his shoulder and looked forward through the crosshair.
The barrel of the gun seems to be pressed in front of the target.
"It's indeed a good thing!" Ma Xingkong quickly pulled the bolt: "Why is there no bullet?"
Yuan Keding said: "This kind of gun is different from our Hanyang gun. Bullets cannot be mixed. I can only get thirty rounds. Brother Ma needs to be more careful!"
Someone placed dozens of rounds of bullets in front of Ma Xingkong. The yellow-glow copper bullet casing was shining golden and was half the length of the bullet. You can imagine what it would be like if such a thing penetrated a person's body.
The consequences. This Yuan Keding was indeed crazy. He actually went to such extreme lengths to kill his own father, which not only made people shudder.
