In order to welcome the arrival of the Allied President Le Erjin, Shanxi Governor E Bao personally came from Taiyuan to Qi County to greet him, to show that Shanxi attaches great importance to the North-South peace talks and the overthrow of the monarchy and the establishment of a republic.
For a time, the small town of Qi County was full of slogans and banners about the peaceful founding of the country. The main city gates and walls were even painted with lime water with slogans about overthrowing the monarchy and establishing a republic that would destroy the master. The officers and soldiers of the northwest have truly felt the new changes in Jinzhong.
At the grand welcome ceremony attended by more than 10,000 people from Qi County, Leerjin couldn't help but sigh to E Bao who came from Taiyuan to greet him: "Since the Qing Dynasty in the Yiwei year when the Japanese invaded, I haven't seen such a grand event for several years. "
What Yiwei is talking about is the forty-two years of Qianlong's reign. The devil is obviously Leerjin's scornful name for the devil who usurped the power of the Qing Dynasty and forced Qianlong and his son into exile.
It was that year that the Sixth Japanese Gang, together with Kuini, the former Minister of Rites, and Sehentu, the commander of the Forbidden Army, launched an ominous incident, which led to the Qing Dynasty embarking on a path of no return step by step.
As a former official of the Qing Dynasty, Le Erjin still had some feelings for the Qing Dynasty. He even planned to visit Qianlong and his son after coming to Beijing to improve their living conditions and, if possible, give the Old Summer Palace to the father and son for their retirement.
But this does not affect his firm attitude of not wanting the Qing Dynasty or the emperor.
"After Guizi Liu pretended to be Zhu Ming, he wanted to win the support of the Han people. He seemed to be smart, but in fact he had no rules. He had no idea that the foundation of the world is all our Eight Banners. Today, the president is raising his arms and shouting, and the heroes of the world are responding. The Guizi Six are doing the opposite, and they will be punished. He will become the target of beatings from all the soldiers and civilians across the country..."
Obao's remarks showed that Shanxi province fully supported the republic and was committed to overthrowing the reform government that had usurped power, which made Leerjin feel reassured.
Subsequently, the two sides held cordial and friendly talks.
In addition to the Shanxi Governor E Bao himself, those attending the welcome ceremony also included Shanxi Chief Wulana, Shanxi Inspector Ding Guoquan and other civilian officials. From the military side, they mainly included Shanxi Commander-in-Chief Lin Zhong, Deputy General Qian Anzhi, etc.
Accompanying Leerjin into the Jin Dynasty was Se Leng'e, the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Eight Banners Garrison. The Northwest Eight Banners Garrison under his control was also the absolute main force of the Northwest Army, with a total strength of more than 14,000, all of which were cavalry. The entire army had war horses. With 20,000 horses, it is the only army in the world that maintains an all-cavalry system.
This time the Eight Banners Army entered Shanxi not only to protect His Excellency the President, but also to cooperate with the Ninth Army from Tongguandong. Ge Biao's Shaanxi-Gansu Self-Defense Army formed a coercive force on Zhili. Once the peace talks broke down, Then the main force of the Northwest Army immediately entered the capital with lightning speed, without giving the Reform Army under Guiziliu any time to breathe and react.
The strategy of capturing the thief first is to capture the king.
As long as the Gyeonggi Province can be controlled, even if there are still a few provinces that support the Japanese 6, it will be difficult to cause a big wave.
In order to realize this strategic intention, Leerjin hoped that the Shanxi troops commanded by Obao could cooperate in the battle and bear the frontline money and food expenses.
Unexpectedly, E Bao excused himself on the grounds that Shanxi's finances were tight and the army was newly organized, and he was only willing to send out logistics to support troops and provide a small amount of food.
This means that Shanxi fully supports the coalition forces at a spiritual level, but its practical support is very limited.
Leerjin suppressed his displeasure and asked Yang Mingyang, the chief envoy of Shaanxi Province who had accompanied him to Jin, and Wulana, the chief envoy of Shanxi Province who represented Obao, to continue discussions.
Although Wulana fully supported the republican cause launched by Lerjin, and secretly wrote a letter of allegiance to President Leer in blood, and obtained a promise to serve as the governor of Xinjiang after the success of the republic, E Bao refused to use the seal of the agreement reached with Yang Mingyang, which was not the case.
To say that there are flaws in the details here is to say that there needs to be further discussion.
Wulana had no choice but to visit Leerjin privately and tell him about Obao's lack of cooperation.
Leerjin frowned slightly: "What does E Bao mean?"
Wulana said: "The official thought that E Bao was just for sale."
“If you don’t see the rabbit, don’t let the eagle fly?”
Lerjin smiled and asked Wulana to make arrangements. He would have a private meeting with Obao tomorrow.
The location for the private meeting was chosen by the Baitiao River outside Qixian County. At this time, the spring was warm and the flowers were blooming, which was a good time for fishing.
The President and the Governor were sitting on small stools by the river with a fishing rod each, and in the distance were the security forces of both sides.
On one side are the guards led by Shanxi deputy general Qian Anzhi, and on the other side are the admiral's men.
With a "whoosh" sound, Leerjin swung the fishhook into the middle of the river like a lure, then turned around with a smile and asked E Bao, who was still fishing for earthworms: "Brother, why do I feel that you are not too supportive of me?
"
Hearing this, E Bao's hand shook and he almost failed to string the hook on his finger. He hurriedly said: "The president is joking. I, Shanxi, absolutely support the president."
"Then why haven't I seen you take any action for so long?"
Leerjin suppressed his displeasure. Although his eyes were looking at the floating fish in the middle of the river, he was actually looking at E Bao with his peripheral vision.
E Bao laughed mockingly, threw the fishhook into the river, and said calmly: "My Shanxi soldiers and horses are all crooked melons and cracked jujubes. How can they compare with the president's army? Besides, the president has so many people supporting him, so it's enough without me."
Already."
"Is it?"
Leerjin put down the fishing rod, sat down on the small stool, picked up the thermos bottle and opened it while saying: "You seem to still have hope for Guiziliu?"
"this?"
E Bao hesitated for a moment, "I heard that Guiziliu wanted to establish a constitution and was even willing to abdicate to achieve peace. If this is the case, it seems that we do not need to fight with him..."
Before he could finish his words, Le Erjin interrupted him and sneered: "Abdication? The whole world knows that there is no way Guiziliu will abdicate! The so-called abdication is just a smoke bomb released by him, and his purpose is nothing more than to confuse us."
Unexpectedly, he was interrupted by E Bao, who saw the Shanxi governor suddenly stood up from his stool, looked at the security personnel in the distance, and then said to President Le Da: "But I received news that the Japanese are going to let him go."
Are you going to be the Prime Minister of the Cabinet?”
"Nonsense!"
Lerjin was extremely angry. Isn't this a rumor? How could he leave the ready-made president and become the prime minister of the bird's cabinet? When he saw Obao, he looked at him unkindly and couldn't help but shuddered: "What do you want to do?"
"I don't want to do anything, just..."
Obao subconsciously stopped what he wanted to say because Le Erjin had a small pistol in his hand.
"Put the gun down!"
Le Erjin pointed the gun at the blunderbuss in E Bao's hand, "Did the Japanese Army promise you something that made you determined to deal with me?"
"Why can you be the president, but I can't!"
It was impossible for E Bao to put down his gun. He was afraid that if he put down his gun, he would be killed by Le Erjin.
Likewise, Le Erjin did not dare to put down his gun.
But neither of them dared to shoot.
As a result, they just looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes.
The security personnel in the distance finally realized something was wrong and rushed over.
"Protect the President!"
"Protect your lord!"
The security personnel on both sides drew their swords and raised their guns, and a fight was about to break out.
"Tell your men to lay down their weapons!"
"Let your people go first!"
"You have never dealt with Guiziliu. You have no idea what kind of person he is! Do you think he will reuse you if you help him deal with me?"
"It will be a matter of the future if the Japanese in the Sixth Level do not reuse me, but you, Leerjin, have been using me from the beginning to the end!"
"E Bao, what are you talking about! I didn't think about you or take you with me in any business I did!"
"What did Wulana say?"
"he?..."
Lerjin felt guilty. He had indeed promised to remove E Bao and make Wulana the governor of Shanxi after the success of the Republic.
Just when he was thinking about how to explain, a figure suddenly approached him, and then a black tiger hit him in the chest with a "bang" sound, and took the small gun in his hand.
The same was true for E Bao, whose weapons were also taken away neatly.
Afterwards, both of them were controlled and pushed to the ground.
The ones who took action were actually the Eight Banners Army admiral Se Leng'e and Shanxi deputy general Qian Anzhi.
"What are you going to do? Are you going to rebel?"
Lerjin struggled in anger, but was pinned down by his own security personnel.
E Bao did not struggle, but looked at his confidant Qian Anzhi in disbelief. He really didn't understand why Vice General Qian betrayed him.
"It's you who want to rebel!"
A familiar voice floated into Leerjin's ears, and then hundreds of security personnel walked out of the river at the same time, and a figure slowly walked up to Leerjin and Obao.
It's Guiziliu!
It's Zhubo Pavilion!
It's Jia Jiashikai!
Le'erjin took a breath of cold air, took a deep breath, and smiled bitterly: "Louis root should say that mud has great supernatural powers, but should we be afraid of the sea washing the eagle cover?"
Um?
Can people speak local dialects when they are extremely nervous and scared?
Looking at Lerjin who looked unwilling, Jia Liu smiled and didn't answer him at all.
Next to him, E Bao didn't expect that the young man in front of him was Guiziliu, whom he was planning to seek refuge with. He was stunned for a moment. After a while, he seemed to understand something and said angrily: "Guiziliu, you are unethical. You don't even know the people around me."
Everyone buys it!"
"Only moldy people don't have my people around them... To be precise, I gave them too much."
Jia Liu chuckled and suddenly raised his hand and waved: "Put it on them!"
"嗻!"
Two personal guards stepped forward and placed two iron pots on the heads of the coalition president and Shanxi governor. Then Jia Liu took a stick from Qian Anzhi's hand and struck hard at the iron pots on their heads.
The damage is not big, but the insult is strong.
After hitting hundreds of sticks, Jia Liu stopped with satisfaction and ordered his men to let go of Leerjin and Ebao.
Luerjin, who was so angry that he jumped up and stamped his feet and yelled: "Crazy, you crazy! Damn it, a nightmare for a lifetime, a nightmare for a lifetime!"
E Bao was so angry that his face turned green, but he knelt on the ground motionless despite being blamed. It wasn't until Jia Liu's eyes fell on his face that he managed to smile: "Your Majesty is so wise and powerful, and the country is in your hands."
I can rest assured!"
Jia Liu nodded slightly, walked behind Le Erjin who was still shaking, patted his shoulder, and said: "Okay, stop pretending, I will issue a statement tomorrow, saying that you were wrong and you have returned from your lost ways."
, and then report to the new unit. How many years of work will you get a pension for your retirement? What are you going to do to fight me? If I don’t praise you, who will humiliate you?”
