    Wu Luzhen¡¯s death had a great impact on the political situation in North China at the end of 1911.

    Zhang Shaozeng, the commander of the 20th Town, was already wavering. Now that he heard that Wu Luzhen had been killed, he was frightened out of his wits.  In this case, Pan Juying, the commander of the 40th Association of the 20th Town, acted on the instructions of Yuan Shikai and Xu Shichang, and threatened Zhang Shaozeng: "If the commander gives up military power and voluntarily announces his departure from the 20th Town, the imperial court can appoint you as the Xuanfu  Minister, go south to the provinces along the Yangtze River to declare the imperial court's will, and your fame and fortune will remain the same as before. If you don't know how to promote yourself, I'm afraid you will become the second Wu Shouqing!"

    Under coercion and inducement, Zhang Shaozeng, who was greedy for life and fearful of death, obediently surrendered his military power.  After Pan Juying took over the control of the 20th Town on behalf of Yuan Shikai, he quickly withdrew all the troops in the 20th Town to the north, dispersed them to Xinmin, Changli, and Yongping, and purged the revolutionary parties in the army.

    After the evacuation of the 20th Town, Lan Tianwei¡¯s Second Mixed Association was also unable to support itself.  In order to avoid becoming the second Wu Luzhen, Lan Tianwei voluntarily announced his resignation and quickly fled to the Northeast in disguise. He conspired with the backbones of the Tongmenghui in the three northeastern provinces to prepare for an uprising in Fengtian to overthrow the Qing Dynasty's rule in the Northeast. The restoration of the country had already caused hundreds of deaths.  The white mountains and black waters of the year.

    At this point, the plan to besiege the capital completely failed.

    South of Gyeonggi, after Cheng Ziyin¡¯s 45th Mixed Association withdrew from Zhengding, the Beiyang elite who had been stationary immediately moved north along the railway and successively occupied Shijiazhuang, Zhengding and other places.  The furious Li Chun, Wu Hongchang and others rushed to Baoding in despair to reorganize the remaining troops of the Sixth Town. As for how much combat power they would have after the reorganization, no one was sure.

    But Yuan Shikai couldn't care about so much. He never forgot the agreement he made with Sun Yuanqi: Shanxi is neutral, and anyone who has the ability can take it, and others are not allowed to say anything.  Therefore, before entering Beijing in early December, he issued combat orders to all his ministries. He ordered Lu Yongxiang's troops of the Fifth Association of the Third Town stationed in Shijiazhuang and Zhengding to launch an offensive against Niangziguan, and the Sixth Town stationed in Baoding to attack Pingxingguan and support Lu Yongxiang's troops from the north.  action.

    Shanxi originally only had one association of troops, and they were mainly stationed near the provincial capital Taiyuan.  As soon as Yuan Shikai's two-pronged attack was launched, emergency telegrams from the front flew like snowflakes and quickly filled Governor Yan's desk.  Yan Xishan can neither cut grass into horses or scatter beans into soldiers, nor is he a Monkey King, who can turn out thousands of monkey soldiers and monkeys by pulling out a single hair.  At this time, there was nothing he could do in the face of the emergency telegram. In distress, his brows almost wrinkled into knots.

    Jing Meijiu, the Minister of Political Affairs of the Shanxi Military Government on the side, asked tentatively: "Captain, the 45th Huncheng Association has just arrived in Fenyang, not far from Taiyuan, why don't we invite them back?"

    Yan Xishan raised his head and glanced at him, thinking: I have already considered this idea!  If the 45th mixed association president is Zhang Huizhan, then 40 to 50% of them would be willing to invite them back.  But Biao Tong is Cheng Ziyin who is foolishly loyal to Mr. Bai Xi. However, he showed signs of betrayal before. If he goes to beg him now, wouldn't he give him a slap in the face?

    ¡°What if we ask them back for nothing?¡±  You can't let your 43rd Mixed Association guard Taiyuan and instead send the 45th Mixed Association to fight on the front line, right?  At the critical moment, your own troops have to step up.  Once the 43rd Mixed Association consumes too much, his role as governor will come to an end.  Cheng Ziyin can oust himself without Yuan Shikai even taking action!

    Yan Xishan understands that the best way at the moment is to ask Sun Yuanqi to mediate. Who wouldn't give it to Mr. Sun?  Who dares not to give it?  But when he thought about his previous actions, he felt a little guilty.  He could only say perfunctorily: "Mei Jiu, let me think about it again! I'll think about it again!"

    Just when Yan Xishan was struggling, someone in Beijing knocked on the door of the residence of Military Counselor Zaitao.

    "Who?" the concierge asked impatiently.

    "Please tell me that Han Shimada, the counselor of the Embassy of the Empire of Japan in China, has come to pay a visit to Taobele!" The visitor spoke with a pure Beijing accent.

    The concierge quickly opened the door and saw that the person was wearing a long robe, mandarin jacket, and Nei Liansheng cloth shoes. Except for the short hair, he was completely dressed like a Chinese. He asked with some suspicion: "Are you the Japanese Embassy?"  Counselor Hua? Your last name is Daotian?"

    "Hai, it's just me!" Han Shimada bowed deeply to the concierge.

    The concierge hurriedly returned the gift, still a little undecided: "Then do you have a greeting card?"

    "Yes, yes!" Shimada Han hurriedly took out a greeting card from his arms and handed it to the concierge.

    There was also a small ingot of silver presented with the greeting card. The concierge immediately smiled and said, "Please wait a moment, Mr. Shimada. I will go in and inform you!"

    After a while, Shimada Han was respectfully invited to: "What on earth do you want to do?"

    Shimada Han smiled: "No, no, no, we don't want to do anything. We are just a little interested in the things in Keisei University's library, museum and laboratory. If Tao Beile can take the contents inside after capturing Keisei University,  It would be best if you lend us something to play with for a while.¡±

    "You want those bone fragments and torn paper rolls?"

    "If you don't mind, we would like to borrow some books."

    "So, is this what you mean? Or is it the Japanese government's wish?"

    "Why do you have to distinguish it so clearly?" Shimada Han said with a smile.  (To be continued.
