Feng Guozhang smiled and said: "I only found out about it the day before yesterday when I went to the General Staff Headquarters for business. It is said that Yuan Su is a student of the Army Preparatory College. For some unknown reason, he did not return to the school in time to take the graduation examination. But this young man seems to have
I still miss the school very much, so after asking about the policy topics for this graduation examination, I wrote two policy papers and mailed them to the school."
Hearing this, not only Zhang Yichen was surprised, but also Yuan Shikai, who was reading the telegram, moved slightly.
"Really? Then there's no need to report this matter to the General Staff Headquarters?" Zhang Yichen asked.
"I don't know the specific reason, but I heard that it was because the two policy papers written by this young man were very controversial. They first caused a sensation in the school, and then inexplicably spread to the General Staff Headquarters."
Feng Guozhang has been in the officialdom for so many years, so he naturally knows how to watch people's actions. Although Yuan Shikai didn't have an obvious reaction just now, he still caught some clues from the subtleties. In any case, since Yuan Su is Yuan Shikai's nephew, the elders naturally hope that the younger generation can compete.
His tone. Therefore, he deliberately put his words in a pleasant tone.
"It's really valuable to stay away from home without forgetting your studies. I wonder what the contention between these two policy papers is about?" Zhang Yichen continued to ask subconsciously. He also didn't want this matter to become a big deal, so he tried his best to explain Yuan Su from the side first.
Some kind words.
"I only remember one article called "Pragmatic Theory" and the other called "European Military Training Examination". As for the content, I have not listened carefully. If Mr. Zhang or the President is interested in this, I will send someone to find out the details later.
." Feng Guozhang did not study these two policy papers carefully, so it was hard to say anything more.
However, judging from the names of these two policy papers, they still sound more or less impressive. Especially the "European Military Training Test", Chad really sounds like a scholar who has traveled around the world and has a lot of experience in military training in various countries.
Make a summary of the investigation.
While Feng Guozhang was chatting with Zhang Yichen, Yuan Shikai suddenly put down the message after reading it. His expression was no longer as easy-going as before, but became very serious.
Feng Guozhang, Zhang Yichen and even Chen Huan, who had been silent all this time, were keenly aware of this scene, and varying degrees of doubts suddenly arose in the hearts of the three of them.
"President, this is..." Feng Guozhang couldn't help but ask.
"This Yuan Su is so worrying!" Yuan Shikai said in a dull tone.
Although Feng Guozhang didn't know what it was about, it was obvious that the content in this telegram was not good news.
After a slight pause, Yuan Shikai handed the telegram to Feng Guozhang. He had never regarded Feng Guozhang as an outsider, not to mention that Feng Guozhang had also been dealing with logistics and military supplies recently, so the situation in Twenty Towns was more or less related.
After Feng Guozhang read the telegram, his first impression was that this was not a big deal. Since Yuan Su was Yuan Shikai's nephew, he did not want to go outside the customs but wanted to stay in Luanzhou to form his own line. There were completely reasons and conditions. However, he thought about it carefully for a while.
, if it was really not a big deal, would Yuan Shikai suddenly change his face?
"The President is a young man after all. He will inevitably act willfully, but it is not too bad after all. He just needs to be taught a lesson." Although he could not guess Yuan Shikai's thoughts, Feng Guozhang took into account the relationship between Yuan's relatives and decided to
Say something kind.
"I asked him to return to Baoding earlier, but he turned a deaf ear to my words. Now he doesn't want to follow Twenty Towns out of seclusion, and he actually boldly wants to break away from Twenty Towns and stay in Luanzhou! Does he still have military law in his eyes?" Yuan Shikai said coldly
He said coldly.
Zhang Yichen, Feng Guozhang, and Chen Huan looked at each other in confusion, not knowing how to persuade them.
"In the past, the emperor broke the law and the common people were equally guilty. Today, the Republic has just been established. How can we allow him to do whatever he wants?" Yuan Shikai became more and more angry as he spoke. What used to be just cold words and displeasure has now turned into endless anger.
Feng Guozhang was really confused. What a big deal this was. Looking at the current situation in the country, let alone two battalions of troops from a town to set up their own business, there were even many regular troops that were replaced by officers at all levels overnight.
It was torn apart. There were countless garrison troops, security groups, and security teams. They all wanted to take advantage of the reshuffle to gain control over one area of territory.
In his opinion, Yuan Su is a person with a good background after all, and it is understandable that he wants to start a career on his own. Moreover, he only has two battalions of troops and only occupies the small town of Luanzhou. As Yuan Su's uncle, Yuan Shikai
You can just turn a blind eye and close your eyes. This is the way it is in this world anyway, and who dares to gossip?
"Young people need to be disciplined and disciplined, but the president will not be so angry," Feng Guozhang said.
"How can I not be angry? If any one of my Yuan family acts recklessly outside in my name, where is the law? Where is the national prestige? Where is my face, Yuan Shikai?" When Yuan Shikai said excitedly, he suddenly struck the case and walked away quickly.
He went to the center of the room and paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, looking very angry.
Feng Guozhang only felt that Yuan Shikai's mood changed so quickly that it was difficult to tell whether it was real anger or fake anger.
"That's all, let's get here today. Hua Fu, Yang Dian, you go first. Let me be alone. Regarding Yang Dian, I will give another reply later." After walking around for two times, Yuan Shikai stopped and turned his back.
He said to the small living room.
Feng Guozhang and Chen Huan looked at each other, and without saying anything else, they had no choice but to stand up and say goodbye.
When Feng and Chen left the door of the room, Yuan Shikai's expression improved slightly, but his stern expression remained.
Zhang Yiqi has been with Yuan Shikai for many years and naturally has a certain understanding of Yuan Shikai. Although in the eyes of many people, including himself, the news reported in this telegram is indeed not important. However, some often very subtle things are just right.
It will inadvertently touch a person's bottom line. Obviously, the reason why Yuan Shikai suddenly changed his mood was because he saw some inconspicuous details in the message.
"If I had known, I shouldn't have recognized this little-known bastard. In the end, he would have caused trouble for me. He would have just gone back to school and completed his studies. Instead, he got into the trap of wanting to stay in Luanzhou. Humph, he
If you really plan to seek an official position in Luanzhou, it's easy. You just need to come to me and explain the matter clearly, but you have to cause all this trouble!" Yuan Shikai muttered angrily, but compared to Feng Guozhang and Chen Huaner before,
When people are present, these words at this time are more like complaining.
"President, although this matter is troublesome, it may not cause any trouble. I believe that the people in Twenty Towns did not take this matter seriously. They just considered that Yuan Su is the nephew of the President and are afraid that it will be difficult to explain in the future.
That's why I called to explain the situation." Zhang Yichen persuaded.
