"Then what does my uncle mean?" Yuan Su asked quickly. High-speed updates

"As of now, all forces in the capital are still following the president's lead. The outside world also generally believes that the president is resolutely opposed to the congressional system, or is opposed to the disobedient congressional system. Of course, the president himself does have this attitude.

Thoughts, but definitely not as deeply disgusted with the republican democratic system as the outside world says." Li Bin said with sincerity.

"What do you mean, my uncle is planning to find a compromise that can both maintain the power of rule and turn around the ministries?" Yuan Su quickly understood what Li Bin said and asked impatiently.

"Yes, that's right. It's just that on the one hand, the positions of many old generals in Beiyang are different, and on the other hand, the Kuomintang and others cannot understand the president's thoughts, so this matter is very complicated for the president

"The purpose of sending Mr. Yuan south to welcome Mr. Song to the north this time is to gain Mr. Song's understanding and at the same time alleviate the public opinion in the country." Li Bin said solemnly.

"I understand." Yuan Su nodded in agreement. It was not until this moment that he could further understand the thoughts of Yuan Shikai, the great tycoon of modern China. Yuan Shikai was not at all as devoid of foresight on current affairs and politics as described in history. But he

It's still not clear whether his uncle had such a plan from the beginning, or did he gradually change after talking to himself?

But obviously this issue is not of top priority now. The key is how to deal with this trip south to welcome Song Jiaoren.

"What the President asked me to convey to Mr. Yuan is to let Mr. Yuan have more thoughts and never act hastily when he goes south to meet Mr. Song. At the same time, he must win over Mr. Song. Of course, with Mr. Song's character

This matter is naturally not simple, but at least we must give Mr. Song a good impression; on the other hand, we must also consider giving an explanation to the many forces in Beiyang, and we must not let them think that Mr. Song's northward movement will bring a great threat." Li

Bin said with profound words.

"Why don't I understand this?" Yuan Su asked, frowning. Of course he guessed the meaning, but even if he understood some words, he had to pretend not to understand them.

"Mr. Yuan, the situation in the north is not clear yet. There are some words... Well, since Mr. Yuan is the nephew of the president, I can still tell you some things in private, but you must not talk nonsense outside.

Yes." Li Bin's face became more and more serious, and his tone became very mysterious.

Yuan Su glanced at Chen Wenian and then at Du Yu. His intention was to let Chen and Du understand that since it was something they couldn't talk about casually, they must keep their mouths shut.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Li, Yuan certainly understands the appropriateness in this."

"Although the President has prestige, in fact, the ministers below still have their own plans. General Duan and Governor Feng were both close confidants who helped the President during the military training at the small station. But now, General Duan and Governor Feng have grown up.

, In fact, sometimes it makes the president a little worried. Governor Feng is fortunate, he is conscientious both in life and in work, but Chief Duan is very powerful and sometimes conflicts with the president." Li Bin is very charming.

Said the matter.

"Is this happening?" The first person to exclaim was not Yuan Su, but Chen Wenian.

Although Yuan Su was also surprised, he could still keep calm on the surface. He naturally knew that Li Bin was deliberately avoiding the important and trivial when speaking. Judging from the superficial meaning of the other party's words, it was indeed not a big deal. But the other party turned out to be like this

This matter was mentioned solemnly, "especially by Chief Duan", which shows that there is indeed a lot of conflict between the President and Duan Qirui.

However, he remembered that Duan Qirui never rebelled against Yuan in history. Even when Yuan Shikai was in dire straits during the restoration scandal, Duan Qirui never left Yuan Shikai. He was just indignant about Yuan Shikai's proclaimed emperor. It can be said that Duan Qirui never left Yuan Shikai.

Although Qi Rui is very powerful and ambitious, his loyalty has never changed.

Of course, Duan Qirui was sincere to Yuan Shikai, but as a man who was truly invincible, Yuan Shikai might not think so sometimes. Just like the founding emperors of all dynasties, he always treated the generals who followed him to conquer the world.

, the senator is worried, this is a practice that has never changed since ancient times.

"In short, the President is still very worried that this warm invitation to Mr. Song to go north will trigger disputes within Beiyang, so Mr. Yuan has to be more careful in this matter." Li Bin emphasized again.

"I didn't expect that this matter is really not a simple matter. But since my uncle has entrusted me to take charge of this matter, I will do my best to make it thorough." Yuan Su sighed, and then made a solemn promise.

"That's the best. Oh, this is a check approved by the national government. It can be exchanged directly at the Bank of Communications when you arrive in Shanghai." Li Bin said as he took out a check from his inner pocket and carefully placed it on Yuan Su

before.

Yuan Su took a brief look at the check and saw that it was indeed the 100,000 yuan mentioned in the previous message. He handed it over to Du Yu.

"I would also like to ask Mr. Li to report back to my uncle. Yuan Su is very grateful for being able to gain my uncle's trust in this important appointment. From now on, I will wholeheartedly follow my uncle's lead." He added.

"Haha, Mr. Yuan, don't worry, I will definitely bring him to you. In fact, it is obvious that the President attaches great importance to Mr. Yuan." Li Bin understood what Yuan Su meant and said with a smile.

At dawn, Li Bin sent Yuan Su and his party onto the train to Tianjin.

Yuan Su arrived in Tianjin at seven o'clock in the evening. Local officials in Tianjin had already received the news and came to greet and settle him in. The group rested in Tianjin for a night and took the pre-booked Jinpu Line train to Nanjing early the next morning.

.Although there is a direct line from Tianjin to Nanjing, the train speed in this era is too slow. The fastest trip from Tianjin to Suzhou Pukou is three days and two nights. When you arrive at Pukou, you have to change to a small fire ferry to cross the river to Nanjing city, and then take the train

The transfer of the Shanghai-Nanjing Line to Shanghai is not an easy task.

When they arrived in Nanjing three days later, Cheng Dequan, the governor of Jiangsu Province, had already received orders from Beijing and tried his best to assist Yuan Su in welcoming him in Shanghai. He took a brief rest in Nanjing for two days, during which Lili Dequan introduced Jiangsu and Zhejiang to Yuan Su.

Among the important figures in the area, in addition to some well-known officials and businessmen, there are also some ministries and Kuomintang politicians. Fu attaches great importance to Song Jiaoren's northward journey.

It was during these two days that Yuan Su not only became a figure discussed by various factions in the south, but also became the headline news of major newspapers. Of course, he only played a pivotal role in these public opinions.

, the momentum of public opinion mainly revolves around the historical major topic that Fu changed his previous attitude and sincerely invited Song Jiaoren to go north to form a cabinet. It not only brought hope to the vast majority of bourgeois politicians, but also

Cleared up all the previous unfavorable rumors.

Cheng Dequan and some representatives of the Kuomintang originally planned to hold a press conference in Nanjing, but Yuan Su believed that they had not yet arrived in Shanghai and had not even met Song Jiaoren. It was too early to hold a press conference in Nanjing now.
