"Of course I know that there will be no complaints from Commander Pan, but that's not the problem. I don't care how many soldiers this bastard instigates to leave Twenty Towns. Even if it's a full mark or even a single agreement, it doesn't matter. On the contrary, it also shows that he has some ability.
.www The problem now is that he actually has contacts with foreigners in private! What kind of heart do foreign devils have? What kind of heart does he have?" Yuan Shikai knew that Zhang Yichen had not yet understood what he meant, so he had to speak out in a serious tone.
.
Hearing this, Zhang Yichen finally understood. He remembered that the mention of Yuan Su's contacts with foreigners in the telegram was just a brief mention, without even a single sentence. Because of this, he did not pay attention. But this
This sentence obviously caught Yuan Shikai's attention, and it can be seen from this that the bottom line in Yuan Shikai's mind lies.
He had to admit that after serving under Yuan Shikai for so many years, he still could not fully understand this powerful figure. He also believed that even Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang and other trusted generals were just like him, and they only treated Yuan Shikai.
A kind of half-permeable and half-impermeable understanding.
From being the governor of Korea to training troops at small stations, has Yuan Shikai had little contact with foreigners in the past few decades?
Now that the Republic of China has been established, all parties need to establish cooperative relations with foreigners. Without the support of foreigners, Yuan Shikai would definitely not be able to become the president.
Zhang Yichen couldn't understand why Yuan Shikai had such sensitive concerns about foreigners in his heart.
"President, no matter how courageous Yuan Su is, given his current conditions, he will definitely not collude with foreigners. He is just using foreigners to purchase a batch of arms. Besides, Luanzhou is not an important place. If it is true,
It’s profitable, and the foreigners have already intervened, so there’s no need to wait until today.” He said as persuasively as possible.
The message did not explain what kind of cooperation Yuan Su had with the foreigners. What Zhang Yichen said just now was just speculation based on the facts.
"Gong Fu, haven't you figured it out yet? If he is not my nephew, Yuan Shikai, it doesn't matter whether he is looking for foreigners or foreigners are looking for him. The reason why I am worried is that I am afraid that foreigners will take advantage of this inexperience.
What kind of tricks do these little bastards come up with step by step?" Yuan Shikai said impatiently, a little annoyed.
"So that's it..." Zhang Yichen suddenly realized.
"Don't look at the fact that I have been dealing with foreigners for so many years. When I meet, I always smile, chat and laugh, or be polite and friendly. Nothing is easy. These blond guys are mostly unkind people, so all diplomatic matters are
If you are walking on thin ice, if you are careless, it is not personal honor or disgrace that will be damaged, but the interests of the country. This Yuan Su has a few pounds, and he is just afraid that foreigners will give him a little sweetness. He has even forgotten his own name!
"When he said the last sentence, Yuan Shikai became excited again and his tone became more serious.
Zhang Yichen didn't know how to deal with it for a while. On the one hand, he didn't quite understand Yuan Shikai's views. On the other hand, this was always Yuan Shikai's family matter. Even though Yuan Shikai and Yuan Su had never met, the relationship between the same clan and the same clan was still well documented.
Yuan Shikai paced back and forth for a while again, but stopped again soon after. He stood motionless and had no intention of speaking, so he fell into silence.
Zhang Yichen wanted to speak several times, but he didn't know what to say, so he finally stopped talking.
"No matter what, he has to come to Beijing. If he doesn't come back this time, I will chase him away, chase him, or capture him." After a long time, Yuan Shikai gave the order in a low voice.
"That's right. After all, young people should not be allowed to be too willful." Zhang Yichen nodded in agreement. He had previously suggested that Yuan Su return to Baoding. If Yuan Su could follow the instructions then, things would not have to be so troublesome.
He knew very well that although Yuan Shikai was angry this time, as the president, he still had to take care of his face, so as not to regret having just recognized his nephew. As long as Yuan Su can come to Beijing safely this time, he can also take care of Luanzhou's affairs.
4466 Make it clear, I believe Yuan Shikai will not embarrass "this nephew".
Just like when he lost his temper in front of Feng Guozhang and Chen Huan before, Yuan Shikai was just making an appearance to let everyone know that he would not condone his relatives to do whatever they wanted. In the end, it was just such a thing, not to mention that he had not yet
Find out what the relationship between Yuan Su and foreigners is.
"Send a telegram to Xin'an and ask him to handle this matter. By the way, tell him that if this bastard dares to ignore it again, I will let Cao Laosan handle the matter next time." Yuan Shikai continued.
Explained.
Cao Laosan is Cao Kun, who is currently the commander of the third town and is stationed in Langfang, near Tianjin. According to Yuan Shikai's wishes, if Zhang Zhenfang cannot deal with Yuan Su, Cao Kun can send troops along the railway to Luanzhou at any time.
.
However, Zhang Yiyi could still see that Yuan Shikai had no real intention to do anything, and was just trying to scare him. Doesn't it mean that letting Cao Kun lead troops to Luanzhou would be a waste of troops and material resources, not to mention that he deliberately made an explanation like this, which was obviously to
Let Zhang Zhenfang tell Yuan Su what he said and let Yuan Su retreat when he sees the difficulty.
"Yes, I will arrange a telegram later."
"No, you go now. I don't want to worry about this anymore."
Zhang Yichen had no choice but to leave the room immediately and went to the communication room to draft a message.
The telegram sent by the Foreign Affairs Office in Beijing was sent to the Zhili Governor's Office in the afternoon of the same day.
After reading this message, Zhang Zhenfang felt a little strange. How could such a good person be treated so seriously over such a trivial matter?
Zhang Yichen was still a little merciful when drafting the content of this telegram. He did not explain the matter too seriously. He only briefly stated Yuan Shikai's attitude and mentioned that "if it can't be done, let Cao Kun do it."
It means. Because of this, Zhang Zhenfang was confused for a moment.
After thinking about it, Zhang Zhenfang guessed whether there was some misunderstanding, so instead of rushing to follow the order in the telegram, he sent back another telegram, describing the events in Luanzhou in detail.
Of course, he himself didn’t know much about the affairs of Luanzhou. It was just what Yuan Su sent to the commissioner to introduce the situation last time. So in this call back, he just repeated what Yuan Su sent to the commissioner to say.
Luanzhou had suffered serious banditry and experienced several revolutions. People were panicked and uneasy, so they jointly petitioned to keep Yuan Su in place to maintain local security.
He also specifically emphasized the petition letters from Luanzhou officials and people, saying that there were more than 130 petition letters in total. These letters are currently at the Zhili Governor's Palace. If the President needs to review them, he can quickly mail them to the capital at any time.
After all, this is a matter of "his own family". If Yuan Shikai is angry because of his cousin, the elder must turn around and say a few words to stop the anger. Who knows if this is just a momentary anger of his cousin, what if it really happens?
The matter was settled, but after my cousin calmed down, he felt that he shouldn't be so cruel. It would not be good for anyone at that time.
In the final analysis, Zhang Zhenfang is a conservative person, and his concept is still the same as when he was "family world". He always feels that no matter how big the matter is, his family can always have room for negotiation.
After sending this reply, he immediately sent another telegram to Luanzhou to inform Yuan Su of the order sent from Beijing. No matter what the matter was, let Yuan Su know the news in advance.
If you make a mistake, correct it quickly. If you are right, it is better to be prepared.
