Regent: "Oh, Shikai, what thunderous methods do you have? You might as well talk about it here. If you perform meritorious service again, I will let you have two governors, and I will give you the vast land of Huguangda."
Yuan Shikai: "Thank you for your thousand years of regent. The Wuchang mutiny happened because the governor did not know how to lead troops, did not know how to appease the soldiers, and was deceived by the great powers. From Shikai's point of view, as long as I lead the With tens of thousands of soldiers and sufficient food and military pay, after arriving in Wuchang, those revolutionaries saw that our Qing army was strong and strong, so they naturally fled."
There was a sudden burst of cheers in the big tent. They all thought it was a good plan.
At this time, Zaifeng was also smiling: "Okay, Yuan Shikai, I will appoint you as the governor of Huguang. You will lead an army of 50,000 people, and you will be able to take office if you have enough food, grass and military pay. I will wipe out all these thieves."
Yuan Shikai was overjoyed: "Thank you so much to the regent Qian Ni. Shikai dedicated his life to his work and died."
Later I saw Yuan Shikai becoming more powerful, and I was not surprised at all, because Yuan Shikai was the first president of the Republic of China after the fall of the Qing Dynasty. The Wuchang Uprising was a conspiracy he orchestrated if it didn't happen. He got some benefits from the Qing court because of it, which was just expected.
However, I can’t remember exactly how the Qing Dynasty was overthrown. It's all my fault that I, a soul from the future, didn't listen carefully when I was studying history class in the future. If I had listened carefully back then, I wouldn't have been like a stick stuck in the tent today.
Finally, everyone discussed for a long time, and the crisis management meeting slowly ended. The regent showed a rare tired look at this time. He said to me: "Shan Feng, you should go to bed early tonight. Go back."
I cupped my fists and saluted: "The regent should also rest early and don't worry too much about state affairs."
I came out of the regent's tent and walked in the military camp. I saw everything in my sight was desolate. The grassland that was once full of green suddenly turned a lot yellower in one day. Autumn is really here.
I walked back to my tent, took off all my armor, and then asked a familiar servant to bring some food. I had been busy all day and had not had any water. I was really hungry.
After a while, the food was delivered, and there was a bowl of leopard soup. Not bad, not bad. I wonder who killed the leopard today, and the kitchen used it to make soup. It tasted extremely delicious.
I was eating when I heard someone arguing outside.
"Yuan Shikai, you are a very treacherous minister! Are you responsible for the Wuchang Uprising? This prince will report you to Brother Seven in a moment!"
Um? It was the Nineteenth County Prince who was quarreling with Yuan Shikai. I quickly put down my rice bowl and came to the edge of the tent to listen.
I only heard Yuan Shikai's defense: "Nineteen County Princes, what does the matter of the Governor of Huguang have to do with my Governor of Zhili? Huguang is thousands of miles away, and Shikai guards the capital and is busy every day. Where can I Do you have time to interfere in Huguang's affairs? Prince Nineteenth County, you have wronged me."
The Nineteenth County Prince said angrily: "I don't care, it must be your fault. Otherwise, how could the flower feather on the crown of the good Governor of Huguang fall on your head? You have to give me a reasonable explanation."
Yuan Shikai seemed to laugh angrily: "Okay, okay, Nineteenth County Prince, Shikai still has some unused gold coins here, why not let these gold coins be given to the County Prince for an explanation. I wonder what the County Prince thinks?"
Nineteenth County Prince: "You, you still have gold coins? How many do you have?"
Yuan Shikai: "No more, no more. There are still more than ten, so give them all to the prince."
The Nineteenth County Prince burst out laughing: "That's pretty much it."
After listening to the secret conversation between these two guys, I felt really dumbfounded. This king of the Nineteenth County is dedicated to the country, which is good, but he pays too much attention to formality. These gold coins can be used to buy an official, but he is too young. Even if he goes to Zaifeng to buy an official with a bunch of gold coins, Zaifeng will not be able to buy an official. Feng may not necessarily give him a better official position.
Let a young and energetic dandy be the governor? Even thinking about it seems impossible.
After dinner, it was already night. I was still sitting cross-legged in the tent, running my internal energy and mental skills. The true energy continued to permeate my organs. At the same time, I enveloped part of my mind within a ten-foot radius, silently guarding the regent. Big account.
Late at night, suddenly there was a slight strange noise. I suddenly opened my eyes, there was an assassin!
At this time, I quietly pulled out my sword and quickly came to the side of the tent, sensing through the air through the tent.
There were two thieves not far away, and they were tiptoeing to Zai Feng's tent, one in front and the other behind.
I quietly pierced a bit of the tent with the tip of my sword, and then looked through the hole. It was indeed two assassins holding sharp blades. So I channeled enough energy and struck the assassin in front of me with a sword from afar.
"Who dares to assassinate you? You are seeking death!" I shouted at the same time.
I heard a loud noise, and the assassin walking in front was taken down by me with a single blow of my sword. There was only one assassin left, and he threw a dark thing at me. What was it?
I hesitated for a moment, and suddenly an idea flashed in my mind. Could it be a grenade? Hurry up and hide. I can't protect myself from grenades. I immediately dodged to the right and threw myself on the ground.
"Boom!" A loud noise illuminated half of the camp. It's really a grenade. Taking advantage of this convenience, the thief cut through Zaifeng's tent with his sword and rushed in directly.
"Death to Zaifeng! Zaifeng! Where is Zaifeng?" The assassin searched inside the tent while shouting.
I was so happy, Zaifeng must have been hiding in the cellar by now. He moves quite quickly. I shook off the gunpowder from my body, and then walked into the tent calmly.
Me: "Stop shouting! Zaifeng is not here. This is just a fake account, just to confuse you assassins."
The assassin was furious: "Impossible, I have been observing this tent for more than ten days! You lied to me."
While I was confronting the assassin, guards were constantly surrounding the place, as well as some ministers and bureaucrats. Although they did not know martial arts, they each grabbed some swords and knives and came to surround the assassin.
I chuckled and said, "Brother, look outside the tent. There are so many people. You can't run away. Why don't you just surrender? You might still be able to survive. What do you think?"
The assassin looked left and right outside the tent, his face ashen for a moment.
"Yuan Shikai, you lied to me, you will die a good death!" The assassin shouted loudly, picked up the sword and swiped it on his neck. I was too late to stop him, and he was already dead.
what's the situation? What's the matter with Yuan Shikai? Is this true or is it a slander? Hold the grass, brother, you have made this a bit big. I hurriedly went to check on the assassin, and saw that his sword was so decisive that his head was almost cut off. I saw that even the gods could not cure him.
"Hey! You're going to die!" I stared at all this with my mouth open. What should I do? You are all dead, why do you still throw a pot in front of me? Isn't this giving me eye drops?
At this moment, the crowd outside the big tent was also pouring in, including several clan disciples. They hurriedly helped Zaifeng out of the cellar, and asked concernedly one by one if everything was okay.
The regent stopped everyone's commotion: "Shan Feng, what's going on? What did the assassin shout before?"
I was immediately embarrassed, and then I could only come to Zai Feng and whisper to Zai Feng the assassin's dying cry.
Yuan Shikai's face outside the tent was ashen at this time. Some ministers and guards around him also vaguely surrounded Yuan Shikai. The words the assassin shouted before he died could be heard clearly by the people outside the tent.
Yuan Shikai threw away the long sword in his hand and knelt on the ground with a thud: "The regent is a thousand years old. It is unjust. I, old Yuan, are unjust!"
The regent also walked out of the tent and looked at Yuan Shikai, who was shirtless and kneeling on the ground.
Zaifeng couldn't make up his mind at this moment. There was a lot of controversy over whether Yuan Shikai was loyal or traitorous. There are always many people complaining in front of Zaifeng, and there are also many people who provide guarantees for Yuan Shikai. Zaifeng is not sure what kind of guy he is.
Regent: "Shan Feng, what do you think?"
I was stunned: "Prince Regent, are you asking for my opinion?"
The regent nodded: "Shan Feng, do you think the assassin's cry before his death was true, or was it a deliberate slander? But it doesn't matter."
After hearing what the regent said, everyone looked at me. Yuan Shikai was also anxious: "Deputy Commander, I, Yuan, have been wronged!"
With so many people watching, the regent asked me to say it’s okay? That's not okay, you can't talk nonsense. Who knows whether the assassin was telling the truth or deliberately telling the truth before he died.
If what the assassin said was true, would Zaifeng kill Yuan Shikai? Definitely not. Zaifeng is still pointing at Yuan Shikai to save Wuchang.
If what the assassin said was false, would Zaifeng kill Yuan Shikai? Of course not, because Zaifeng is still pointing at Yuan Shikai to save Wuchang.
Besides, I remember when I was studying modern Chinese history, I found that Yuan Shikai was both loyal and traitorous, and he seemed to be the founder of the Republic of China. This shows that this man should not die today.
So I said: "The assassin's sudden cry was the same as that of the assassin who assassinated you in the palace a few days ago. Prince Regent is a thousand years old, but do you still remember what the assassin scolded me?"
The regent laughed loudly: "I remembered that that mean-mouthed assassin, he actually called you ugly just before that! Hahaha, everyone, come and take a look, this deputy commander appointed by my king , are you ugly or handsome? Come and take a look?"
Next, several soldiers came to me holding torches, and then many people looked at me randomly. Being watched by so many people made me nervous.
At this moment, the Governor of Shaanxi and Gansu clasped his fists and said: "Prince Regent Chitose, this deputy commander, it is obvious that he is a handsome and handsome guy. Hahaha, what do you think?"
Governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, you finally said something nice. Yes, yes, your gold is not in vain, I am secretly happy in my heart.
Suddenly an old official came out from the crowd and said: "Prince Regent Chitose, this deputy commander has a green face and fangs. He is obviously an ugly guy. Please forgive me, Prince Regent."
What? You old guy, how dare you scold me! How dare you! I was so angry that my eyes were on fire. If there weren't so many people present, I would definitely let you, this old guy, know what it means to respect the elderly and care for the young.
