    Sun Yuanqi replied categorically: "Exactly!"

    Yang Du asked again: "Is Baixi prepared to fight Japan only in Qingdao, or does he want to bet on the fate of the country and fight to the death?"

    Sun Yuanqi said: "Is there any difference between the two? Japan is ambitious and has always been arrogant. It has coveted our country's vast territory for a long time. Even if it is okay, it will take the initiative to stir up trouble. What's more, we want to fight it with real swords and guns? We  If we win, it will come back screaming for revenge; if we lose, it will take advantage of the momentum to pursue us and sweep westward, and it will eventually turn into a life-and-death struggle between the two countries!"

    Yang Du said: "Twenty years ago, the Qing Dynasty inherited the power of the Zhongxing Dynasty and the success of Westernization. It mobilized the whole country to fight fiercely with Japan, which had not been founded for a long time. In the end, it was completely defeated and was forced to sign the Treaty of Shimonoseki, which was humiliating and humiliating to the country.  Recognizing the independence of Korea, ceding Taiwan and the Penghu Islands, and compensating Japan with 20,000,000 taels, the Qing Dynasty's treasury was emptied, and the country's power turned from prosperity to decline. This was the reason for the subsequent reform and reform, and also gave the revolutionaries the opportunity to  An opportunity to take advantage of. It can even be said that without the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War, the country would never be where it is today!

    ¡°In the next twenty years, Japan first defeated the Qing army in the Gengzi Revolution, then defeated Tsarist Russia in the Russo-Japanese War, and then merged with Korea.  After the death of the emperor and the revolution of 1911, there have been constant internal troubles, and the national power has declined even compared to that of the former Qing Dynasty. Baixi thinks what is the chance of winning against Japan with this broken and declining country?"

    Sun Yuanqi may have once been an angry youth, but now he has passed the age of an angry youth. Moreover, he is in a high position, has access to information and considers problems more comprehensively. The war against Japan is obviously not a whim: "Why doesn't Sun know that fighting against Japan will result in more defeats?"  Who will win? It¡¯s just that there must be a war between China and Japan. As Xizi said, Japan¡¯s national power is rising and China¡¯s national power is declining. In this case, the sooner the war breaks out, the better! And choosing the time next year has three advantages:  First, at that time, the great powers such as Britain, the United States, France, Germany, and Russia were all focusing on the war in Europe and had no time to look around, so we could concentrate on it; second, we set the battlefield and combat methods in advance to maximize our advantages.  ; Third, it is expected that the domestic situation will have become clearer by then, and there will be external enemies pressing into the country, which can be used to temper the national defense strength and reduce the resistance of the provinces to the central government."

    Yang Du's eyes lit up: "That's right! After wiping out the Southern Revolutionary Party, we and Yuan Xiangcheng are the only two dominant families in the country, one in the east and one in the west. If there is a full-scale war with Japan, most of the war will take place in  On the eastern coast, it was Yuan Xiangcheng who was ultimately damaged. If Baixi's strategy of driving away tigers and devouring wolves is planned properly, he can definitely rule the world in one fell swoop!"

    Sun Yuanqi was a little dumbfounded: Yang Xizi was originally a very smart person, but after learning the Imperial Art and Zongheng Xue from Wang Xiangqi, he seemed to be a little obsessed, and he felt that there was a huge conspiracy hidden in everything he looked at.  For example, in this matter, Sun Yuanqi was originally planning to have a big fight with Japan's Ming Dao Ming Gun, but in his eyes, it turned out that Sun Yuanqi was trying to weaken Yuan Shikai with the help of Japan.  ¡ª¡ªOf course, if he can weaken Yuan Shikai's power while beating up Little Japan, Sun Yuanqi would also be very happy to see it happen.

    "Xizi, do you think which prefectures and counties should be set as the lower limit for our battle with Yuan Xiangcheng in Jiangsu this time?" In order to prevent himself from becoming a conspirator, Sun Yuanqi decided not to get entangled with Yang Du in the war that might break out next year.

    Yang Du began to shake his signature folding fan again: "How to set the lower limit depends on Baixi's specific plan for the Qingdao war!"

    Sun Yuanqi said: "The specific plan has not been figured out yet. However, if we can discuss with Yuan Xiangcheng, I am determined to win Haizhou, because even if there is no war next year, the navy will still have a place to stay, at least we can use this to have a natural  It is a good port, and many goods from the western provinces can be sold all over the world without looking at the eyes of other forces; if you purchase certain foreign machinery and equipment that need to be kept secret, you can also have a suitable communication window."

    Yang Du suddenly looked around and said to him: "Bai Xi, do you know what Yuan Xiangcheng lacks most now? What Yuan Xiangcheng lacks most now is money! It is precisely because of the lack of money that the size of the Beiyang Army under his command has been maintained at around 80,000 people.  , he couldn¡¯t wait to bypass Congress and borrow money from the five-nation banking group (originally the six-nation banking group, the United States announced its withdrawal when the loan was borrowed).

    "The large loan amount for the aftermath is as high as 25 million pounds, which is a huge amount. However, after deducting various due compensation, loans, and advances, the actual amount obtained is probably less than 10 million pounds. Now the central government's financial resources are exhausted.  , the national treasury is empty, and capital turnover is needed everywhere. Once the money is obtained, it can be used in various ways, and not much falls into Yuan Xiangcheng's private pocket. Moreover, its use needs to be reviewed by the powers of various countries, which is really inconvenient!

      "Looking around in China today, where has the most wealth? There is no doubt that it is Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Guangdong and Guangxi. Yuan Xiangcheng is eager to send his troops south. In addition to the revolutionary party's disobedience, I am afraid there is another important reason:  Seeking these big tax provinces. Now you are fighting for Jiangsu with him, how can he easily let go? So our fight for Sudu is just a pretext, the purpose is to put on a show and raise the price."

    "The price is high, and you have to pay back the money?" Sun Yuanqi also felt that competing for Su Du was unrealistic.

    "That's right!" Yang Du nodded, "But we must put on a good show before that, including making a lot of noise on the radio and newspapers. Members of the New China Party wave flags and shout in Congress and provincial assemblies. At critical moments, even  You can send Yang Changqing around Jiangsu, as if he is going all out and determined to win. Let Yuan Xiangcheng feel that we are his strong rival to capture Jiangsu, so that we can negotiate with him."

    When Yang Du talked about the place of rise, he stood up and circled the map with a folding fan in his hand: "Jiangsu is limited by the Yangtze River and is divided into two parts: Southern Jiangsu and Northern Jiangsu. In terms of area, Southern Jiangsu accounts for one and Northern Jiangsu accounts for one.  Three; from the perspective of population, the north and the south are close to each other; but from the perspective of taxation, southern Jiangsu accounts for three and northern Jiangsu accounts for one. Now the water transportation has stopped and the canal has been neglected. It used to be called "Half the World's Wealth"  'Yangzhou and Huai'an have declined rapidly, and now I'm afraid they can't even occupy one!

    "Baixi, you have the Midas touch, and you have a few virtuous helpers who are good at making money. It's like the reincarnation of Tao Zhu. You should have slightly more money than Yuan Xiangcheng. Moreover, you are determined to win Haizhou, so when the negotiations reach a deadlock, you can take a step back and take Jiangbei.  The land of three prefectures (Xuzhou Prefecture, Huai'an Prefecture, and Yangzhou Prefecture), two prefectures (Haizhou, Nantong Prefecture), and one hall (Haimen Hall) allows Yuan Xiangcheng to take the five prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River (Jiangning Prefecture, Zhenjiang Prefecture, Changzhou Prefecture, Suzhou Prefecture, and Songjiang Prefecture).  The wealth and goods of one state (Taicang Prefecture). Guarantee that the negotiation can be successful!"

    Sun Yuanqi also stood up and came to the map. After listening to Yang Du's eloquent remarks, he was a little skeptical: "Although Yuan Xiangcheng is a little cash-strapped and determined to win the rich land of Jiangnan, he wants him to give up three prefectures, two states and one hall in northern Jiangsu.  I¡¯m afraid this place is a little unrealistic!¡±

    "Oh? What do you mean?"

    Sun Yuanqi said: "Although the south of the Yangtze River is rich, the land is open and the space is narrow, which is not conducive to stationing troops and preparing for war. The only thing that can be relied on is a big river. But now that the navy is controlled by Chiang Kai-shek, the natural barrier of the Yangtze River has become useless. Moreover, the connection between southern Jiangsu and Shandong  It stretches across northern Jiangsu, especially Xuzhou Prefecture, which is known as the "Key to the North" and the "Gateway to the South". It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. If we occupy all of northern Jiangsu, southern Jiangsu will be like an enclave to Yuan Xiangcheng. Yuan Xiangcheng  He is from the military, how could he agree to such a division?"

    Yang Du said: "The governor of Anhui, Bai Liewu (Bai Wenwei), is a revolutionary. Now that the situation between the north and the south is so tense, I believe he will soon be replaced by Yuan Xiangcheng and replaced by a close associate of the Beiyang clique. In that case, Henan, Shandong, and Hubei will  , Anhui, and southern Jiangsu can be connected together, and there is no such thing as an 'enclave'. If Yuan Xiangcheng really wants to fight for Xuzhou, Baixi can take another step back, as long as the land north of the Yangtze River and east of the canal  . This is the bottom line of the negotiation. We will never agree to such a division until the end!"

    Sun Yuanqi nodded: "Being able to get Haizhou is already an unexpected surprise for Sun. If you can get such a large piece of land, how lucky you are!"

    Yang Du said with a smile: "Bai Xi, don't belittle yourself. You are the new Prime Minister. Yuan Xiangcheng should give you some face! Furthermore, there is an ancient saying: 'Wealth does not return to its hometown, but travels at night like fine clothes.' Now that you have become famous,  If you want to bless your hometown and let the elders of Huai'an Prefecture share your happiness, do you think Yuan Xiangcheng dares to jump out and become a villain?"

    Sun Yuanqi looked at the area north of the Yangtze River and east of the canal on the map, and suddenly saw the words Nantong Prefecture and Haimen Hall. He couldn't help but laugh: "Xizi, what do you think Zhang Jizhi would think if we really got this land?"  ?¡±

    After Zhao Bingjun resigned as Prime Minister, Zhang Jian sadly resigned as Minister of Industry and Commerce, and soon returned to Shanghai to continue his career as a politician and businessman, colluding with the Kuomintang and running his business.  It¡¯s just that his enterprises are in northern Jiangsu. For example, his head enterprise Dasheng Spinner Factory, Guangsheng Oil Factory, Fuxin Flour Mill, and Zisheng Metallurgical Factory are located in Tangjiazha in the west of Tongzhou City. Tonghai Kenmu Company, where the raw materials of the yarn mills are produced,  It was at the junction of Lusi and Haimen. In addition, he and his brother also reclaimed large areas of land and opened companies in Yancheng and Funing in Huai'an Prefecture, and Dongtai in Yangzhou Prefecture.  If Sun Yuanqi wanted to take revenge after getting the land, he could bankrupt Zhang Jian's company with just a few clicks.

    Yang Du said: "Yang estimated that when Zhang Jizhi heard the news that you had succeeded as Prime Minister, he must have been extremely upset: Since he can still hold the position of chief minister in the future, why couldn't he wait for those few months and insisted on joining the army?  What about the Kuomintang? Now not only is the position of the president in jeopardy, but he is also accused of rebelling against the party. It¡¯s really a chicken-and-egg affair! Now if I hear that you have taken over the land in northern Jiangsu, I am afraid that my liver and gallbladder will be broken, and I will have trouble sleeping and eating.  : The retribution for this world is coming quickly, and my departure is not far away!¡± (Remember this website¡¯s website address: www.hlnovel.com)If I hear that you take over the land in northern Jiangsu again, I am afraid that my liver and gallbladder will be broken, and I will have trouble sleeping and eating. I think: The retribution of this world is coming quickly, and my death is not far away!  "(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
