    But after experiencing this incident, Zhang Hanqing finally got rid of the annoying entanglement.  Everyone is busy, who wants to talk about national affairs with a dude?  Faced with the contrast between the cold and sparse crowds in front of the door, Zhang Hanqing sensitively realized that the seniors before were just trying to get the bottom of things, and it was Lao Yuan who was testing him if they were not sure.

    It feels bad to be stared at. The more it feels like this, the more we need to keep a low profile to the end!

    He wants to keep a low profile, but some people disagree.  One morning on the weekend, Zhang Hanqing was still meeting Duke Zhou - this was a habit he had had before the time travel, but unfortunately it was retained.  Gao Jiyi came to report gently: "Major General, Mr. Songpo is here to pay his respects."

    Zhang Hanqing was surprised: "Mr. Songpo?"

    Gao Jiyi thought that he was young and ignorant, so he explained: "He is General Zhaowei and the former governor of Yunnan, Cai E and Cai Songpo."

    Of course Zhang Hanqing knew it and respected this legend of the Republic of China very much, although he soon became another legend.  This short-lived general, however, made a big splash in modern Chinese history and deserves special mention: Not to mention his reputation as one of the "Three Heroes of Chinese Non-Commissioned Officers", his achievements in protecting the Dharma three times alone can make him stand out from the heroes of the moment.  In addition, the story with Xiao Fengxian added a lot of chivalrous tenderness, which made many people admire it.

    But Zhang Hanqingya didn't want to meet him in her private house - it wasn't that she didn't want to, it was just that the time was wrong.  Oh, no, it's the wrong occasion.  You must know that Cai E is in the limelight and is the person Yuan Shikai pays close attention to. He is a small person. At this special moment, he is trying to fish in troubled waters with no name and is ready to sneak away at the right time. Suddenly meeting such a person at home is nothing.  What!  Can Lao Yuan not doubt himself and increase the intensity of tracking?  Isn't this difficult for me?

    "However, when Zhu Yake comes to Qinqin, everyone has already arrived, should he be kicked out?"  Now that you've come, let's make peace with it. Zhang Hanqing sighed and said, "Please come quickly."

    When he hurriedly finished washing and came to the living room, what he saw was a lean middle-aged man. His eyes were not too big, but he was very energetic. He was wearing a general's uniform and looked very capable.  Is this the famous General Cai Songpo?  Isn't this the person next to Yuan Datou that I met at the Presidential Palace that day?  This should be the first celebrity I see after traveling through time, besides my cheap dad, right?

    With respect for celebrities, Zhang Hanqing bowed and saluted politely, and said loudly: "My nephew didn't know that Uncle Shi was coming, so I have violated some etiquette. Please forgive me for that." Zhang Zuolin and Cai E were in the same court.  As an official, the relationship between uncle and nephew is not bad.

    Cai E stared at Zhang Hanqing with his tiger eyes for a moment, then accepted the gift with a smile.  He took Zhang Hanqing's hand, looked at him and said, "It's okay. Since Brother Yu Ting asked you to come to Beijing to study, how can I not see you? A few days ago, at the Presidential Palace, there were some inappropriate remarks.  It's convenient." The motivation for this trip was explained in one sentence. It was nothing more than a way to get closer to each other.

    Zhang Hanqing secretly slandered: "It seems that dad and you don't have any friendship, right? But carrying people in a sedan chair and communicating with each other are traditional Chinese virtues, and in the face of this famous person in modern history, greetings such as "Today's weather is hahaha"  It is indispensable.

    Since he has become "Uncle Shi", Cai E can't speak too suddenly. At least he must follow Uncle Shi's example. It is necessary to ask for help.  Eternal topics such as whether you are used to living in Beijing, whether there are any difficulties in studying arrangements, etc. will inevitably be staged as foreshadowing.  Zhang Hanqing naturally burst into tears to accept the kindness of this "uncle", and his reaction was what he should have at this age.

    Cai E told some tidbits about Beijing, and Zhang Hanqing also mentioned the anecdotes around Peking University. The two sides went back and forth, and their Tai Chi skills were outstanding.  However, since Cai E didn't open the gourd, there was no need for Zhang Hanqing to take the initiative to open it.  The two started talking about the wind and sand in the sky in Beijing, and Zhang Hanqing suspected that the situation of soil erosion in Inner and Inner Mongolia was not optimistic; then they went to the lotuses blooming by the Weiming Lake, and then to the heavy rain a few days ago that flooded the front door to the ankles.  It's a big circle to figure out the flaw in the drainage system.

    Zhang Hanqing has always been a talkative person. His many years of experience in the enterprise have greatly increased his knowledge. Besides, his century of experience is not in vain. At least he gave Cai E the impression of being knowledgeable and self-contained.  But you always feel tired after talking about these unnutritious words, don't you?

    Cai E¡¯s eyes rolled slightly, he didn¡¯t want to beat around the bush anymore.  The young man in front of him, young and honest, honest and honest (if Zhang Hanqing knew that this talented person actually commented on him like this in his heart, would he bleed?), maybe he is really just a bargaining chip between Zhang Zuolin and Yuan Shikai?  Pretending to be careless, he asked casually: "Brother Yuting, what do you want to say to Han Qing when he comes here? Although your uncle Cai has a humble position, he has been in Beijing for a long time, so he still has some connections and needs uncle's help.  Han Qing, please don¡¯t see anyone outside.?  "

    Finally getting down to business, Zhang Hanqing felt secretly contemptuous and felt embarrassed. Didn't he just ask my dad what he really meant?  He couldn't help but want to play a prank, and said casually: "Lin Lai, my father had a secret instruction, and asked my nephew to tell Uncle Shi that in the future, all stories, big and small, in and outside Beijing, will be followed by Uncle Shi."

    It was General Cai¡¯s turn to be surprised¡ªcould Zhang Zuolin be able to predict his own intentions?  But he knew that the sudden visit was just a whim.  I heard that the eldest son of Zhang Zuolin, a strongman outside the Pass, was there, so I wanted to have a taste of the customs outside the Pass. It would be great if I could get something from the young major general.  A son is better known than his father, and a father is better known than his son.  When he thought about it, the young man who was only 15 years old probably didn't have any scheming, right?  After all, he is at that age, and he is calculating mentally but not carelessly.

    Cai E was very cautious, otherwise his fame and prestige would have been forcibly transferred from the post of governor of Yunnan to his side by the current hero Yuan Shikai.  Being able to stay in this land of crouching tigers and hidden dragons for several years, not only is there no danger of life, but also one is gradually promoted to a higher position - no matter whether it is promotion or demotion, it is not without two brushes.

    Of course, I have also thought about whether Zhang Zuolin had something to say about his son before coming here, and did he say this on purpose?  But he is still quite famous in Yunnan, but after a few years in the capital, even the iron pestle will rust. With a new dignitary like Zhang Zuolin, he will not be counted among them, right?

    ¡°This is indeed the case, but it¡¯s a pity that the other party is Zhang Hanqing.

    After the success of the Revolution of 1911, Cai E, the greatest hero of Yunnan Province, won the favor of Zhongfu.  Although Cai was a supporter of Yuan Shikai's capital in Beijing and defended Yuan many times during the Second Revolution, his purpose was to maintain unity, not dictatorship, which made Yuan Shikai at the center very uneasy.

    In October 1913, Cai E's throat disease recurred. Yuan Shikai took the opportunity to transfer him to Beijing under the pretext of "allowing him to be given three months of sick leave and summoning him to Beijing for recuperation" and he was placed under house arrest.  But in view of his huge prestige, Yuan Shikai did not dare to make other moves.  Later, he accepted the suggestion of his adviser Yang Du and named Cai E "General Zhaowei", assuming some nominal positions to win over him.  Although "General Zhaowei" was the title given to the head general of the Republic of China, he was actually deprived of his military power and placed under strict surveillance.

    Of course Lao Yuan still pities Cai.  Yuan Shikai admired Cai E's military talents very much and invited him to have lunch every day.  It was during the period of the "Suppression Campaign" of the Bai Lang Army, and Yuan Shikai safely handed over all planning information and related documents and messages regarding the "Suppression Campaign" to Cai E for review.  From this, Cai E gained insight into the Beiyang Army's background and weaknesses, and concluded that "one division in Yunnan is enough to defeat ten Beiyang divisions. In military terms, Yuan's chances of victory are definitely not in his favor."

    But apart from his reliance on military staff, his political status as a general was much lower. As Lao Yuan wavered between autocracy and republic, he became even more worried about Cai E, who had military capabilities.  With Bai Lang dead in battle, there is no use for the hero.  At this time, he still considered the overall situation of the country and agreed with Yuan Shikai's unification of political and military orders.

    After Yuan Shikai signed the traitorous "Twenty-One Articles" with the Japanese imperialists, Cai E's heart was deeply hurt, and his good impression of Yuan was wiped out; the subsequent "Safeguarding Meeting" was even more  Let him hate Yuan deeply.  However, in order to avoid arousing Yuan Shikai's suspicion, Cai E publicly criticized Liang Qichao, who opposed the imperial system, and actively expressed his "support of the imperial system."

    But in private, Cai E, Liang Qichao and others secretly discussed the plan to "overthrow Yuan".  At the same time, Cai E was also contacting old friends and spying on the statements of princes from various provinces on this matter.  But when it comes to life and death, the true opinions of all parties are unclear, making the always cautious General Cai even more cautious.  Later, he had no choice but to live in seclusion, "hanging out" in the Bada Hutong, eating flower wine and pretending to be drunk and dreaming, pretending to have no ambition.  After all, people have to bow their heads when they are under the eaves.

    As a celebrity in Beijing, his every move attracts attention from all parties.  Some people who were anti-Yuan in their hearts were disappointed when they saw that the famous "General Songpo" was openly acting as Yuan's hawk, and they couldn't help but restrain themselves. This was the abnormal situation in Beijing where "ten thousand horses were in silence".

    Surrounding Beijing are the territories of the Beiyang system, which are really strong soldiers and horses.  The longer Cai E stayed in Beijing, the more he understood the strength of the Beiyang Army: The army founded by Lao Yuan was really not reliable. Although the Yunnan Army was confident of victory, it could not withstand the power of the Beiyang Army and its long distance¡ª¡ª"Caiyunzhinan"  "After all, you can't touch the sky in Beijing.  If the war continues, it will inevitably be protracted and the lives of people will be devastated.  How to quickly defeat the Beiyang Army to preserve the vitality of the Republic of China was what this outstanding military strategist often thought about.

    When the Yunnan Army restrained the main force of the Beiyang Army from the front, the closest place that could really give Yuan a blow was Zhang Zuolin in the northeast, that is, Fengtian.  If Fengtian can hit him in the back, well, it will be a big deal.

    From what we have learned so far, Zhang Zuolin is still very enthusiastic about Yuan Shikai proclaiming himself emperor. To be specific, he suddenly became enthusiastic.  From the day when his secret telegram to persuade people to move into the country was announced by Yuan Shikai, Fengtian's footsteps became bigger and bigger. It is said that Zhang Zuolin even personally gave a speech to the leading figures and elected members of Fengtian provincial capital about the significance of the movement to persuade people to move into the country.  Judging from various reactions, there is no doubt that Zhang Zuolin is a complete supporter of Yuan.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Very enthusiastic, specifically, suddenly enthusiastic.  From the day when his secret telegram to persuade people to move into the country was announced by Yuan Shikai, Fengtian's footsteps became bigger and bigger.
