After five or six days of deliberation, Yuan Su finally made this decision.
So on June 20th, he specially came to Du Yu to discuss the matter. Nowadays, there are too many people under the Luanzhou Group, and many things may not be able to deal with those so-called direct subordinates. Instead, he can only talk to people like Du Yu.
Talk to your close friends and confidants.
After listening to Yuan Su's words, Du Yu couldn't help but frowned and asked strangely: "Sir, is this too risky? If the matter spreads to Beijing, it will be very detrimental to us."
Yuan Su said calmly: "If you want to do something big, how can you succeed if you are reluctant to take risks? What's more, as long as you do this carefully enough, I believe there should be no mistakes."
Du Yu took a deep breath. Just now Yuan Su hinted at some of the inside story of this matter, but he still couldn't figure out why Yuan Su had to take this step. It was not because he was unwilling, but because he was worried about the impact.
Too big. After a while, he spoke again: "Spreading rumors that your Excellency supports the Revolutionary Party against the monarchy. How could such a big thing not go wrong? The outside world spread the rumor from ten to ten,
Sooner or later, the news will reach Beijing." b Time travel novel: b
Yuan Su smiled calmly and said confidently: "Don't worry, even if it really spreads to Beijing, it doesn't matter. After all, it's just a rumor. I believe that the president will never do anything to me because of a rumor. He arranged for me before
The transfer to the Army Department has already caused considerable impact, and if any further measures are taken against me, it will definitely stir up more turmoil."
Du Yu was still very worried, with unconcealable anxiety in his tone, and said: "But sir, why do you want to spread such rumors? Even if there are any special arrangements, you can still spread rumors about others, such as Feng Guozhang and Duan Qi.
Rui, or people like Xu Shuzheng. It would be unwise for them to involve themselves."
Yuan Su still looked very relaxed and said in a serious tone: "Since it is a rumor, it must be made in a decent way. You really don't have to worry too much. As long as the rumor spreads just right, listen to the rumor."
People will consciously keep it confidential. In a few days, I will arrange for people to be ready in Guangzhou, Shanghai, and Hong Kong. You only need to spread the news to the designated places."
Du Yu naturally trusts and is loyal to Yuan Su. Since Yuan Su has such full confidence, and there are obviously a series of hidden secrets behind this matter, there is no need for him to be such a mother-in-law anymore, he can just do what he is told.
. He sighed helplessly, and finally nodded vigorously and said, "Okay, I understand. I will do my best to handle the matters your Excellency has asked me to do."
Yuan Su then said: "After the news spreads, don't go back to Tianjin for the time being."
Du Yu nodded slightly and said, "Yes."
After Yuan Su thought about it, he added: "I will arrange for you to go to Shanghai then, and you will stay with Lin Boxhen for a while. Then you must pay attention to some things. One is the rumors I asked you to spread.
To what extent has it spread? Is it full of news, or is there no movement at all on the surface? The second thing is that you have to communicate this news to Lin Boxen first, and say that I personally told it. This is indeed the case.
.”
Hearing this, Du Yu's expression changed a bit, and he couldn't help but ask: "My lord, do you really want to oppose the president's proclaiming emperor? Although I know I shouldn't talk too much, but if it's just because the president suppresses you, sir,
And if I feel angry because of this, I will still give you some persuasion even if I have to confront you."
Yuan Su looked at Du Yu's look and couldn't help laughing. He reached out and patted Du Yu's shoulder and said: "You are still loyal enough. Don't worry, I will tell you my plan when the time is right."
, now you don’t need to ask any more questions, in short, I will not be as rash as you think. Just follow my instructions."
Du Yu felt a little relieved. He nodded solemnly again and said, "I understand."
After a few days of arrangements, through the network of Gao Shun who was still active in the south and officers' clubs in various places, the coordination work in Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Shanghai and other places was finally settled. Yuan Su did not send Du Yu off, and even asked
Du Yu tried his best to conceal his whereabouts, left the French Concession at night, and took the early morning train south.
The reason why Yuan Su asked Du Yu to spread such rumors was to provide some confidence to the southern revolutionary camp.
However, as Du Yu worried, this rumor would definitely put him at certain risks, especially at such a sensitive time, and since he had openly confronted Yuan Shikai, it would most likely arouse Yuan Shikai's wariness. But
It is precisely because of this that this rumor seems more real and it also makes people in the southern revolutionary camp feel that there is great hope.
He had already calculated that as long as no one caught Du Yu personally spreading the news, no matter what means Yuan Shikai used to question him about the truth of this rumor, he would firmly deny it. Without any personal or material evidence, it can be completely attributed to the southern revolutionary camp.
It's just a public opinion conspiracy.
As for the southern side, after learning about this rumor, it is very likely that they will send people to Tianjin.
Yuan Su's attitude was to deny the rumors to the north and give various hints to the south. As long as the south got some information about the rumors from Lin Boshen, they would definitely believe them to be true. At that time, he would also ask the revolutionaries to keep it secret for the time being.
Otherwise, once the plan is leaked, it will inevitably fail.
This plan may ultimately sacrifice Lin Boxhen's trust, but the key depends on how far things will develop.
By the beginning of July, Du Yu successively carried out secret activities in Guangzhou, Hong Kong and Shanghai. According to the gathering places of revolutionaries that he had already inquired about before, he began to spread rumors in a relatively subtle way. It was the southern revolutionary camp that was the most useless.
During the period, this rumor was obviously like dew on a dead tree, or rain on a long drought, suddenly lighting up a lamp in the darkness. Even if the lamp was very vague and weak, it was still a hope.
In just a few days, news about Yuan Su's intention to plot against the monarchy spread first in Guangzhou and Hong Kong. b Time Travel Novel: b
Some small newspapers even wrote a special discussion. After all, although Yuan Su was unemployed in the concession, his former reputation still had a certain basis of popularity. A little bit of puzzling news would quickly attract a round of attention.
.
However, this round of activities was just about to become popular, but it was inexplicably suppressed by people. Gradually, it disappeared again. However, the imperial system, which had been talked about by people before and is still being promoted by official mouthpieces, gradually
Back into people's sight again.
It’s not that the revolutionaries deliberately suppressed the news in order to provide cover for Yuan Su. For many revolutionaries, the bigger the incident, the better. This would cause chaos within Beiyang first, and then they would take advantage of it.
.It’s just that when Yuan Su arranged the response work in advance, he also gave some additional instructions to control the direction of public opinion as much as possible. It only needed to achieve a fleeting effect.
In addition, there were not many places where Du Yu followed the instructions to spread the rumors. There were only a few places in Guangzhou and Hong Kong. He acted casually with others and told the people around him through chatting. The intensity of such dissemination was not at all
It's not strong, it's just a casual statement, and there aren't many people who are really interested in it.
