After seeing off Li Yanqing, Fang Zida did not go to the Ministry of Finance as planned. When he returned to the office, he made a gloomy phone call to the Ministry of Finance, and then immediately asked someone to notify He Yingqin and ask him to come to the Central Bank to see him as soon as possible.

Sitting on the sofa, Fang Zida put the cigar he was smoking aside, frowning as he recalled what Li Yanqing had just said. According to Li Yanqing, someone from the capital came to the Third Division a few days ago and issued an order to have the Third Division pull out immediately.

The first brigade troops went north to cooperate with the garrison to defend the Beijing-Tianjin area.

This news shocked Fang Zida. Due to the reorganization of the National Defense Forces, the defense divisions have basically completed the reorganization and started the second reorganization. In the second reorganization, according to the plan, the first division, the third division, the eighth division, etc.

Division, the 15th Division, these benchmark troops will be expanded by the division

It was changed into an army, and its organization was similar to that of later group armies. Although Cao Kun's third division has not changed its designation for the time being, the size of the third division has now nearly doubled. After the official new organization is completed, its number of personnel will be

The combat effectiveness is more than doubled or doubled compared to before.

At this time, Cao Kun's third division must be mobilized, and it must be mobilized to the Beijing-Tianjin area. Since the reorganization of the National Defense Forces, all Central Army deployments must be jointly ordered by the General Staff and the Ministry of National Defense, and must be personally approved and approved by Yuan Shikai

Report to the government

Case. According to Li Yanqing, this strange transfer order was not issued through the General Staff and the Ministry of National Defense, but came directly from the Office of the Presidential Palace. What was going on with this transfer order? Fang Zida suddenly became wary and couldn't help but think of something else.

One aspect.

"Liang Yansun, Yuan Yuntai..."

At the first moment, the names of these two people flashed in Fang Zida's mind. Liang Shiyi is the Secretary-General of the Presidential Palace and is responsible for the work of the General Office of the Presidential Palace, and Yuan Keding is the eldest son of Yuan Shikai. Only the two of them can pull this trick.

.As for the unauthorized deployment of the Third Division, the purpose is self-evident, and it is clear that it is to push Yuan Shikai to power by force.

"Crazy, they are simply crazy!" Fang Zida never expected that Liang Shiyi and Yuan Kezhu would be so bold. Although the capital is the center of the country, there are actually not many central troops stationed around it. Fengde, Baozhou and other places

The total garrison strength is only two divisions. Moreover, the troops are dispersedly stationed. Except for Fengde, most of them are only at the regiment and battalion level. Once the entire brigade of the 3rd Division is transferred to Baoding, the distance from the capital is simply a matter of time and night.

to.

Thinking of this, Fang Zida's head got big. He never thought that Liang Shiyi and Yuan Keding would go so far to mobilize troops to carry out mutiny without authorization. Aren't they afraid that the conspiracy would be exposed? If Li Yanqing hadn't revealed the news, maybe he would wait until the army approached Fang Zida.

You will know that by then it may be too late to deal with it.

"Cao Kun is not a simple person!" Fang Zida said to himself. If he said that Li Yanqing made the decision without permission, Fang Zida would never believe it. As Cao Kun's confidant, Li Yanqing would never tell him such confidential information no matter what.

, this is definitely Cao Kun’s instruction. Don’t look at Cao Kun

On the surface, Kun looked carefree and looked like a rough man, but in fact he was very careful and scheming. Liang Shiyi and Yuan Keding hid Yuan Shikai's secrets and issued orders to the Third Division in the name of the Presidential Office. As Yuan Shikai's confidant, Cao Kun was

It’s not good to pick it up, and it’s not good not to pick it up. If we use the third division

In the name of asking the Ministry of National Defense and the General Staff about the reason for the transfer, Cao Kun would definitely offend Liang Shiyi and Yuan Keding. It would be fine if he offended Liang Shiyi, but Yuan Keding was Yuan Shikai's eldest son after all. Cao Kun would never put himself in such a situation.

An embarrassing situation. And if you follow the transfer order, what if?

When Liang Shiyi and Yuan Keding got into trouble, Yuan Shikai blamed him, but he couldn't explain it. After thinking about it, Cao Kun could only use this method to reveal the news to Fang Zida through Li Yanqing's mouth. In this way, he could not understand each other.

Even if you are offended, you can also take it out, please both sides, and you can move forward and retreat freely.

Thinking further, how could a smart man like Cao Kun not understand the purpose of Liang Shiyi and Yuan Keding? Once they succeeded, in the future when Yuan Shikai came to power, Cao Kun would naturally become a minister of Conglong, and glory and wealth would be just around the corner.

.Cao Kun's abacus was very good. He thought of almost every aspect. Fang Zida sighed that this man was really beyond his appearance!

Report this matter to Yuan Shikai and Song Jiaoren immediately? As soon as this idea came up, Fang Zida immediately rejected it in his heart. In the current situation, what if they reported it? Liang and Yuan would only be reprimanded at most, and they would not be able to get up at all.

Too many effects in this world

There are only thieves thousands of miles away in the world, so how can there be any reason to guard against thieves every day? Once this matter is exposed now, Fang Zida will not only offend them, but also offend Cao Kun. If something happens again in the future, he will

Can Zida still be so lucky?

Several thoughts flashed through his mind, and Fang Zida decided to either not do it or to do it thoroughly. Don’t you Liang Shiyi want to be Shi Shouxin? Don’t you Yuan Keding want to be the prince again? Since you have done it several times,

If you don't listen to the advice, I will completely give up this idea.

"President, are you looking for me?"

Not long after, He Yingqin hurried over from outside the city, saw Fang Zida sitting upright with a gloomy face, and asked softly.

"Sit." Pointing to the sofa next to him, Fang Zida asked directly: "What has Wang Jixin been busy with these days?"

"He? It's the same as before, no different." He Yingqin replied subconsciously.

Fang Zida frowned slightly and said with some displeasure: "Isn't there any difference?"

"This... let me think about it..." He Yingqin said quickly, racking his brains to think about it. After a while, he patted his head and said: "I remembered that Mr. Yuan came to see Wang Jixin for a drink a few days ago. He

I returned to the base half a day after entering the city. Nothing happened in the past few days, but I stayed in the military camp for food and accommodation, and I paid more attention to the escort than before."

"Oh, didn't he pay attention to the Guards before?"

"That's not true. After all, Wang Jixin is not a soldier. He felt a lot of inconvenience in the military camp. He used to spend one or two days a week back to his house in Beijing for a short stay. But since Prince Yuan's visit, counting

Wang Jixin has not returned to Beijing for six days, and Ying Qin didn’t pay much attention to such small things at first. If the president hadn’t suddenly asked about it, I wouldn’t have thought of it for a moment..."

Waving his hand, he interrupted He Yingqin's explanation. Fang Zida didn't ask him to come here to listen to such nonsense.

"With all due respect, can you be the master of the Guards?"

"Of course!" He Yingqin said quickly: "When the president arranged Ying Qin to join the guard army, he had already explained that Wang Jixin should not be regarded as Ying Qin's boss, but in actual military matters, Ying Qin has always been in charge. Most of the middle and lower-level officers

He is also the one who accepted the request. As long as I give the order, there will be no problem. What? President, you want to..."

"Don't ask me what I want to do. Let me ask you something. If Wang Jixin wants to send troops out to do something, can you control the entire escort army? Including Wang Jixin himself?"

"President, please rest assured, there will be no problem!" He Yingqin stood up quickly, touched his heels and replied loudly.

"well!"

Patting He Yingqin on the shoulder, Fang Zida smiled with satisfaction, and then said with a straight face: "He Jingzhi, as the Deputy Minister of Finance and the President of the Central Bank, I issue an order to you. From today on, without my personal order, you can do whatever you want.

No one is allowed to mobilize the guards one by one. If there is any unauthorized deployment of troops, you can do it easily, do you understand?"

"yes!"

He Yingqin quickly saluted and responded to the order, and then left in a hurry.

After arranging the escort, Fang Zida found someone to contact Yang Du. That night, Yang Du came as invited and quietly entered Fang Zida's house.

When they met, Fang Zida first told Yang Du what happened today, then explained his arrangements for the escort, and then asked Yang Du what he thought.

"Zhang Ming's arrangement is good, and his idea is right, but the matter is difficult!" Yang Du said nothing while Fang Zida was telling the story, and he flapped the folding fan gently in his hand, seeming to be thinking about something. Waiting for Fang Zida to finish.

, he sighed softly and shook his head.

"What? Xizi thinks my arrangement is inappropriate?"

"That's not true." Yang Du smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "If this matter was done by Liang Yansun alone, Zhang Ming did everything right, but Yuan Yuntai was involved, and I'm afraid this would cause trouble once it happened.

It won’t end easily!”

"Of course I know this. I have heard that long-term pain is not as good as short-term pain. Although Yuan Yuntai is my wife's brother and the eldest son of the president, how can such national affairs be tolerated? Once started, it will not end in the future. For the president

That’s right…”

Yang Du nodded, he also saw it this way. Although Fang Zida's arrangement was cautious, it also showed his decision-making. After thinking about it, Yang Du asked seriously: "Zhang Ming, are you really determined to do this?"

After getting Fang Zida's confirmation, Yang Du also made up his mind and said: "If that's the case, let's do it. It's a pity that President Yuan, a hero, ended up giving birth to such an evil son." Yang Du sighed and said.

: "As for other things, if there is anything Zhang Ming needs to solve, just ask. Although I, Yang Du, can't lift my hands or shoulders, I can help run errands, talk, and deal with it. It's still no problem."

"Thank you, Brother Xizi. This is exactly what I meant." Fang Zida quickly thanked Yang Du. This was exactly what he meant by calling Yang Du Lai. After the incident started, there must be a lot of work that needs to be finished, and there must be someone to help with it.

, and this person Yang Du happens to be just right.

"It's a coincidence that an old friend is coming to Beijing. I'll take him to meet Zhang Ming tomorrow. This old friend is very talented, resourceful, and has a wide circle of friends. There are some things he can do better than me.

"

"This person is...?"

"Haha, this person also happens to be named Yang, Yang Yongtai, and Yang Changqing."

"It turns out it's him!" Fang Zida was immediately overjoyed and couldn't help but stand up.
Chapter completed!
