Chapter 122: Brewing Determination

There is a big difference in the popularity of the election in the north and south. After more than a year of oppression by Yuan Shikai, the South now has enthusiasm for participating in politics. With the rapid rise of Yuchen, the southern force, it seems that all of them have suddenly exploded. Representatives of various parties made their debut in a fair and open environment maintained by Yuchen's face, hoarsely winning over voters and making promises one after another. At first glance, it seems that the elections of Western powers are very lively. Moreover, the South is originally a group of people.

The base camp of the political party and the public atmosphere have also been opened. Whether it is the Democratic Party or Yuchen, they both started from the south. The election was called out by these two forces for more than a year, but now it has finally come naturally. All their power has been used up. Yuchen wants to maintain his position, and the Kuomintang wants to achieve results in this aspect of its own tradition of having advantages. In addition, the state-power party formed by the constitutionalists is swaying between the two sides and waiting for the best conditions for cooperation. It is really lively.

In comparison, the north is much more dull. The Beiyang group, which was originally a loser in the battle between the north and the south, actually had the power of the north and had been suppressing the princes of the south, collapsed with Yuan Shikai's death. Some people had deep prejudice against the south, thinking that the southerners were in power and would not have room for northerners to survive, and were a little discouraged by this so-called open election. Some now have a little old-fashioned, holding the attitude of not being able to serve the south, waiting for the situation to develop, and listening to a young man under Yuchen's command

They felt that the order was unacceptable. In addition, the customs of the north were relatively conservative, and they believed that these national affairs were all things that only the men and the gentlemen were concerned about, and the enthusiasm of the people to participate was not very high. In the north, some Beiyang forces led by Duan Zhigui, who were attracted by Yuchen, were jumping around on the election issue, and the situation where the Kuomintang in the Tongmenghui contacted some political forces in the north who were dissatisfied with Yuchen's strong position was tit-for-tat. Although the degree of liveliness was far less than that of the south, the degree of struggle between the two sides was quite irrelevant to the traditional Chinese party's struggle against each other.

So when Wang Jingwei and Wu Tingfang joined forces to worship, Jiang Baili was a little alert. Both sides had cursed each other and now they came to visit the door at this sensitive time. What are their plans? When Jiang Baili changed his clothes, he kept wiping his mind. In the end, he still felt confused and had no idea and had to talk to each other when he met.

The bell in the hall was playing at three o'clock in the afternoon. Wu Tingfang and Wang Jingwei sat on the chair and drank tea leisurely, waiting for Jiang Baili to appear. Wu Tingfang arrived in Tianjin in the morning, and went to find Wang Jingwei as soon as he arrived here. They also participated in the election speech of the Kuomintang representatives during the day to cheer for them. At this time, they were tired and sweaty. It was really good to take a break here. While chatting casually, I saw an adjutant coming out first, then wearing a long gown and jacket and a hat, Jiang Baili walked out with a smile, and began to greet him from a distance: "Brother Wenjue! Mr. Jingwei, I have been disobeying my teaching for a long time! Isn't Brother Wenjue responsible for negotiations in Shanghai? Why did you have any time to come to Tianjin to teach? Mr. Jingwei is even more... Baili really feels that he has received a lot of teachings with his husband these days."

Wu Tingfang and Wang Jingwei smiled at each other, and both heard the gun and stick in Jiang Baili's mouth. Over the past few days, the Kuomintang has really scolded Jiang Baili enough in the north. No wonder he was a little resentful. Although Yuchen sent a sect to take charge of the north, he was a military leader. But he was really a scholarly spirit and could not learn the demeanor of politicians who were enemies today and friends tomorrow. He used him to take charge of the north.

It is estimated that Yuchen is more considering that he can stabilize the morale of the army and have a wide range of connections and good relationships among the Beiyang soldiers. Wang Jingwei just stood up with a reserved smile, showing a look of no concern. Only Wu Tingfang walked up and gave Jiang Baili a foreign handshake, and said with a wry smile: "Aren't I sending the commander Yuchenyu? Now Shanghai is negotiating, but the two sides are fighting guns to guns and cannons in the north.

Not far away, if there is another conflict, it will hinder the overall situation of Shanghai negotiations! Now the north needs a person who can turn around diplomatic negotiations, dealing with the Japanese ambassadors in Beijing, the Chinese garrison troops, and the Kwantung Army. Commander Yu has such an idea. Brothers come to Tianjin to listen to Brother Baili's command and dispatch." When it was Yuchen's arrangement, Jiang Baili was even more surprised why he didn't send a telegram in advance, but it was hard to say anything at this time. He thought it was probably Mr. Wu Wenjue who volunteered! The north might indeed need to arrange such a person, but Yuchen might not be willing to run to the north to stir up the wind and rain. He probably came by himself and did not receive formal approval. In the end, Yuchen issued an additional order to step down. The figures of the Kuomintang in the Tongmenghui are very active now.

Thinking of these things, he was a little distracted for a moment. It was not until Wang Jingwei came up and greeted him with a smile and he realized: "Brother Baili, are you still thinking about your brother's remarks? Although my brother and I have a little business in state affairs, they have met each other very early. They have different opinions on state affairs. They attacked him with different drums, but they do not harm their personal friendship. It is the essence of democratic politics! Brother Baili feels open-minded, so naturally Brother Baili will not care, right?" His words were really quarrels, and he stood firm and was very kind and earnest. Jiang Baili had to be embarrassed.

He smiled and greeted them to take their seats. He didn't want to go around in circles. He sat down and asked, "Kong Ji, the preparation work for the election. Mr. Jingwei is also the head of the Kuomintang in the north. He has rare free time. He came to teach his brothers today. He must have entered the Three Treasures Palace without any trouble...... What does the gentleman say? You might as well say it quickly. As long as the brothers can do it, there will definitely be no shirkness." He thought about sending Wang Jingwei away as soon as possible. Regarding Wu Tingfang's unauthorized visit to Tianjin, he also had to discuss with Yuchen how to arrange it!

Wang Jingwei's expression suddenly became serious and looked at Jiang Baili and said, "Brothers came today because they had some real news. Because the matter was so important, they found Brother Baili's door as soon as possible. Please deal with it properly..." He caught Jiang Baili's appetite in his words and continued to say: "Now between Tianjin and Beijing, someone must be unfavorable to Commander Yu! The person behind the scenes should be the former Prime Minister of the Cabinet Zhao Bingjun Zhao Zhi'an and the Deputy Chief of the Army Xu Shuzheng! Some time ago, the An Meng army was blocked in the northeast, and they had moved to the remnants of Beiyang troops in Zhili, Henan to rebellion! It is said that the Beiyang generals were greatly shaken. Fortunately, the An Meng army quickly won the victory to stabilize the morale of the northern people... But their real goal is not this! They want to assassinate General Yuchen! Destroy the current situation where the country finally got!"

These words were really like a bolt from the blue, which made Jiang Baili unable to speak for a moment. He knew that Beiyang had a private connection. He was already on guard. However, there was a close connection between the Beiyang group retained and the downspoilers, and they could not be completely prevented. They could only show their selfless attitude towards people and secretly guarded. But today Wang Jingwei came to speak out, saying that the Beiyang forces were going to assassinate Yuchen! If this is a real thing, it would be involved in people with such deep-spreading power in the north. The situation in the north that was finally maintained will soon be in chaos! But if not investigated, the safety of such a shallow group such as Jiangbei was all tied to Yuchen alone, which was completely different from those forces that had developed for decades. Once he fell, the overall situation would become unimaginable!

When Jiang Baili was shocked, he couldn't help but think of a sentence that Yuchen said inadvertently that assassination is absolutely unpromoted to the development of history. The development of history will not be better by conspiracy. However, conspiracy activities are likely to make the situation worse. Therefore, even in the Jiangbei Legion, assassination will never be carried out even if it is done in intelligence.

Although he felt like he was overwhelmed, his face was still calm and he laughed: "Mr. Jingwei is a bit alarmist! General Yuchen is now in the hope of the country and is the object of love and admiration of the people. The Beiyang group is also Chinese, and it may not be unwilling to do a stable development of China. Now there are many people from the Beiyang group under his command, even the brothers themselves! When it comes to these well-known figures who want to assassinate, I don't know where the teacher learned about this information, which is a bit of a joke." He paused and added: "Mr. Zhi'an and Mr. Zhiquan, after they came to the north, they all came to visit. They are all people who have already given up and are very humble. How could they do such a clumsy thing? Brothers really believe it. Don't be surprised by Mr. Jingwei."

Wang Jingwei stood up with a smile: "Anyway, my brother's words have been passed on, so I have fulfilled my responsibilities. Please tell me the importance of it. Brother Baili has been in the north for a long time, and the news may be more informative. Brother Baili might as well ask, what are the two right-hand assistants under Zhao Zhi'an and what are they busy with now? Do they know a rogue soldier named Wu Shiying, and what the Delivery Secretary named Zeng Yujun under Duan Zhiquan is doing in Henan now. It is natural that you can tell. Brother Baili said so much and say goodbye." After that, he really nodded slightly to Jiang Baili, greeted Wu Tingfang, and didn't want anyone to send him off. He walked out in a flash. Only Jiang Baili sat there in a daze.

, I didn't know what thoughts were changing. The atmosphere inside was so quiet that I could hear the footsteps of the adjutant outside the door. Wu Tingfang finally spoke tentatively: "Brother Baili, Jingwei is not a casual person. I think this matter should be reported to General Yu as soon as possible. Although you are from the Jiangbei Group and we are the Kuomintang, you don't want the state affairs to continue to be in chaos. You are in the north, you must also make arrangements to prevent accidents. Be careful about those Beiyang..." Before he finished speaking, he saw Jiang Baili raise his head and glance at him like lightning. Wu Tingfang was a little scared by that look. Jiang Baili suddenly smiled: "Yes, Brother Wenjue is worried that I will write a telegram to the commander immediately to see what arrangements he has!"

Yuchen has held several rounds of talks with the Japanese envoys these days. Although many major things that have been long-awaited for, and the situation in the Northeast has eased, everything is developing in a good direction. However, everything is piled up together, which still makes him busy. When business affairs came together in the past, he could still forcefully distinguish between priorities and centrally deal with them first. However, none of these major events that are entangled with military and political affairs can be delayed slightly.

Although the Japanese representative sat down at the negotiating table, his attitude was so arrogant that Yuchen couldn't help but want to curse. His escort Sima Zhan was so angry that he pretended to be sick and did not participate. The conditions offered by the Japanese representative were that the new government fully inherited the 19 treaties signed with the Yuan Shikai government, and the second was that the Japanese Fifth Division of the military conflict had slight losses. In order to appease the survivors of the country, he needed to compensate 60 million yen of condolences. Third, the An Meng army did not enter South Manchuria for the time being, so as not to cause another misunderstanding between the Kwantung Army and the Korean Army. The South Manchuria incident should be held in the northeast rather than Shanghai. The two sides should hold negotiations on the spot, and the people and the land were suitable. If Yuchen accepted these three conditions, he would automatically step down! He immediately rejected them, claiming that the 19th was absolutely impossible to accept, and there was no room for discussion. The compensation should be Japan.

The amount paid to China is also 60 million yuan. The An Meng army's advance has its own schedule, and the South Manchuria incident must be resolved in Shanghai in a package. If Shanghai cannot reach an agreement on the South Manchuria incident, the An Meng army will definitely march to the end in order to maintain the reunification of the motherland. If there is any misunderstanding with the Kanto Army and the Korean army, it is nothing more than a battle. The price difference between the two sides is so big, and they both look like they are breaking apart. Before the US Secretary of State Mr. Firland arrived, George and Cooper ran to each other and bargained between the two sides. Although both sides' attitudes were loose, they were far from reaching a consensus. Yuchen naturally did not dare to take it lightly. The first official foreign negotiation was a national enemy like Japan, and he must take all the negotiation process in his own hands.

In addition, there is the election. Although his stall has been spread out, he does not have as much confidence in the military issues for the first time in operation. He also needs to ensure the stability of his future status and cannot be too ugly to damage his image. The measure in the middle is quite difficult to grasp. At the beginning of the election, all kinds of methods were really used. It turns out that public opinion praised Yuchen one-sidedly now has some sarcastic voices. He said that Yuchen was dictatorial, and he controlled and manipulated.

There are those who are in the general election, those who say the Federalist Party is a royal election tool that fully reflects his personal will, those who say he is a powerful military force, and some even doubt his private life! There are those who say he looks like a saint! When it comes to his future rights and interests, all kinds of things really pop up. The attitude of the constitutionalists in Jiangbei that he thought he could firmly grasp was very ambiguous, and they were very interested in starting a new job and getting along with each other. These not only had to fight back on public opinion, but also did a lot of work behind the scenes.

How to deal with the independent local forces in each province is now on the agenda, and these things must be prepared for the future. If the new government is established and there is no strategic layout for these local forces, the new government will be nothing more than the situation of the Beijing Provisional Yuan Shikai Central Government. The state affairs are still in a mess, which will be a huge blow to Yuchen's future prestige. You must know that he cannot afford to fail! These local forces have their own plans, some should win over, some should be tough, and some are really beyond the reach of Yuchen now. All kinds of things are gathered together and waiting for him to decide. Yuchen sometimes wonders how he survived such a mountain of official affairs.

In this mess, Jiang Baili's telegram made him worry. The telegram itself was not very long. It just conveyed Wang Jingwei's words. In the end, Jiang Baili's own opinions seemed very important. He also grasped the degree of his speech very well, so Yuchen could see it in one go.

"Wang's words are not wrong with his duties. Zhao Zhi'an, the north, Xu Youzheng, is always tough and will never cooperate with our forces. He carefully examines the activities of the two men, which is also what Wang said. If he says so, the safety of the commander must be considered. However, the key point of this incident should not be here. Those who know the commander's assassination behavior may be small. However, if Zhao Zhi'an, Xu Youzheng, does not have a corresponding solution, and the two are now connected to the Beiyang garrison in Henan, with deep Beiyang roots inside.

The political forces in the treacherous response, the success of things is insufficient, and the overall situation is more than turbulent. If I deal with it with decisive means, the north will be disinterested and the Tongmenghui will reap the benefits of the fisherman. If I stand idly by the mouse and am afraid of the weapon, the power will inevitably become more rampant. If a country is united in an international country, the north will be invincible. Wang went to tell this matter, and Tongmenghui had always had Sima Zhao's intention. How to deal with it? He felt very reluctant to do it. He was reasonable and cautious in his words. Please make a decision quickly."

I rarely encounter this good thing, but the troublesome and difficult things are coming one by one. Yuchen closed his eyes in front of his desk, opened it suddenly, cheering up his spirit. Adult is uncomfortable, and he is not comfortable. If you want to deal with me, then come! At this time, you will jump out and solve all these troubles in a package. It may not be a good thing for the new government in the future. Everyone seems to be only concerned about attracting people's hearts after the collapse of Beiyang, as if they have forgotten that Yuchen also has thunderous means! If these people do not support themselves, then don't miss their little influence! People who block their way forward and make trouble for themselves and never repent, sometimes they have to remove these garbage! Yuchen knows that now he is almost a political animal, and his heart has become much crueler. For him, he doesn't know whether it is good or bad.

He pressed the bell to greet his adjutant, and it turns out that in less than twenty seconds. Wang Dengke had already appeared at his door and asked salutedly: "Commander, what's the matter?" Yuchen ordered coldly: "Send a telegram to Beijing and ask Deputy Director Bai Siwen to catch the fastest train and come to Shanghai as soon as possible! I have something to ask him to arrange it!"

Seeing Wang Dengke accepting the order and walking out, Yuchen stood up and turned around like a trapped beast in the office. Suddenly, he felt that he could not resolve it and said loudly: "Come on, come and go to the dock with me!"

His current office is in the Gaochang Temple Manufacturing Bureau, and it is only a few steps to get to the dock. The guards and escorts of the brigade followed him, and Jiang Feng slapped him in the face. Sure enough, he felt refreshed and much better. A large cruiser was parked on the dock, with the red-bottom and blue-sided naval flag of the Jiangbei system, and the 203mm main gun was black holed. Yuchen's incident really rarely cared about the Navy. He asked Wang Dengke next to him strangely: "Isn't this a Hai-font cruiser? When did he stop at Gaochang Temple?" Wang Dengke replied with a smile: "Commander, since you established the temporary military affairs department, it turns out that almost all the Beiyang Navy has been incorporated by us.

A small number of them ran to Guangdong. This was the Haitian, which was repaired by the Manufacturing Bureau. Now our navy is the Chinese navy." Yuchen's eyes lit up, and suddenly he thought of when he was waiting for the Yangtze River Defense Fleet to return at night when he was in Shanghai. From then on, he advanced together with water and land, and he had the entire middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Basin. Now his strength is no longer comparable to that time. At that time, his impetus and enthusiasm were somewhat submerged in complex daily affairs and intrigues. Has he really forgotten what his ideal is? It seems that he had also vowed on this wharf to build a brand new China.
