Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

After hearing Lin Yuan's words, Guan'er burst into tears, and murmured, "You have already promised him, how can you change your mind just by saying it?"

Lin Yuan said ashamedly: "This banquet was not actually organized by Yuan Shikai, but by the Mongolian special envoy, Hang Dadorji."

Guan'er sobbed and said, "So what?"

Lin Yuan said: "This Hangada Dorji is the vanguard of splitting Mongolia, so I must go to meet him and find out some of their situation from his mouth."

Guan'er suddenly smiled and said: "I don't understand what you said, but I know that what you are going to do must be a big deal, you can go at night, if you are free, you can come and see me, I am very happy I'm happy." After finishing speaking, Guan'er's face turned crimson, she hurriedly lowered her head, and covered her face with her long black hair.

Lin Yuan walked up to her, hugged her gently, and then came out and asked Liu Sandao, "Where is the banquet venue?"

Liu San said: "In Lord Yuan Shikai's mansion."

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Hangda Doerji held a banquet, how did it get into Yuan Shikai's mansion? Could it be that this Yuan Shikai also got involved with the Mongolian separatist forces? Yuan Shikai, Li Hongzhang, and Weng Tong are different from these people. He was a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty, and he wanted to maintain the rule of the Qing court, but Yuan Shikai was a self-interested opportunist, which can be seen from his betrayal of the reformists during the Reform Movement of [-] and his suppression of Sun Yat-sen during the Revolution of [-]."

"Then can this Yuan Shikai do such a traitorous thing as collaborating with the Russians and splitting Mongolia? In my time, Yuan Shikai was able to gain the support of the Japanese in order to proclaim himself emperor, and he accepted the 21 articles proposed by Japan. Article 21 stipulates that the Chinese police , the army, and the finance must hire Japanese as consultants, and China’s arsenal must be jointly established with the Japanese, which is a disguised form of destroying China. Since Yuan Shikai can agree to this treaty, he may also partner with the Mongolian separatist forces.”

Thinking along the way, Lin Yuan suddenly felt something was wrong. It turned out that he had been to Yuan Shikai's house once when he was competing with Yuan Shikai for the command of the Dingwu Army. Ask the housekeeper Liu San: "Did we go the wrong way?"

Liu San said: "No, Mr. Yuan has changed his new home. No, his new home is in front of him." He stopped the carriage, and Lin Yuan got out of the car to take a look. This mansion is indeed more magnificent than before. When Lin Yuan walked to the door, Yuan Shikai's servant hurriedly opened the middle door to welcome him. Lin Yuan hated this situation very much, so he didn't let anyone inform Yuan Shikai to come to greet him, but asked him to take him to the place where the banquet was held.

What Lin Yuan didn't expect was that the servant didn't take him to the living room, but took him to the backyard of Yuan's mansion. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw a fire in the distance, and the melodious music of Matouqin was in his ears. The sound, I only saw it when I got closer. It turned out that there was a bonfire on the open space. The mutton on the fire was roasted until it was golden. , beside the fire, several young girls were dancing around the fire, and a few people sat on the ground beside them, watching them.

The servant shouted at the top of his voice: "Lord Lin Yuan is here!" Immediately, the piano dance stopped, and a man stood up, it was Yuan Shikai, who walked up to Lin Yuan in a few steps, and said with a smile: "Master Lin, long time no see Thank you for your kindness, please come and sit down."

As Yuan Shikai said, he pulled Lin Yuan to the edge of the fire. At this time, a tall and strong man in Chinese clothes stood up. Yuan Shikai pointed to him and said to Lin Yuan: "This is Zhe Buzun Danba's special envoy, Hang General Dadorzi!"

Handa Dolji stroked his chest with his right hand, gave a deep salute, and said, "Hello, Mr. Lin! I have long admired your name!"

Lin Yuan also imitated his example and saluted, with a few polite words, Honda Dolzi said that the banquet was about to begin, and a cook cut off the mutton on the fire, put it in front of everyone, and filled the gold-encrusted wine cup with kumiss Lin Yuan only noticed at this time that in fact, only himself and Yuan Shikai were the guests of honor at the banquet. It seems that Honda Dorje is indeed here to test us."

Handa Dolje took out a knife to cut the mutton, and at the same time talked about food, music, and never mentioned politics. Lin Yuan wondered what he was going to do. More than two hours passed in a blink of an eye. Only then did Erji invite everyone down, and apart from the cook, musicians and dancers, there were only Lin Yuan, Yuan Shikai and Hangada Dorji.

Hangada Dorje smiled mysteriously at Lin Yuan and Yuan Shikai, and said, "It's time to get something good." He clapped his hands as he spoke, and then he heard the musician playing melodious music, not far away Two veiled women came out of the house, and they came to the scene arm in arm, dancing to the music.

They danced for a while, and suddenly took off the veils on their faces. Lin Yuan and Yuan Shikai exclaimed at the same time. It turned out that these two women not only looked like celestial beings, but were far better than the dancers just now, and they actually looked exactly the same.

Honda Dorje asked with a smile, "Aren't they beautiful?"

Lin Yuan didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Hangda Doerji's gourd, and Yuan Shikai said with a smirk, "Pretty, very beautiful."

"Then do you know where I found them?" Honda Dolzi said.

Yuan Shikai asked, "Where is it?"

Honda Dolji said: "Minister Kulun had a servant. He took a fancy to these two sisters and killed their parents. I rescued them." At this point he sighed, and then said: " There are still many such things, and I can’t save them all, alas, we Mongolians are really bullied by Han Chinese and Manchus.”

Lin Yuan sneered in his heart and said, "Don't push all the bullying on the Han and Manchus in an attempt to stir up ethnic disputes! It is true that some Manchu and Han officials in the Qing court exploited the Mongolian people, but you Mongol princes treat the ordinary Is the exploitation of the herdsmen not enough? I think the matter of the sisters is probably made up by you!"

Lin Yuan didn't speak, but Yuan Shikai spoke: "If this happened, I will definitely report it to the Holy Majesty, and let him reprimand the minister in charge of Kulun, so that such a thing will not happen again."

Handa Dorje said helplessly: "It doesn't work if you change a minister in charge. How can we Mongolians control our own destiny?"

As soon as Lin Yuan heard this, he understood that "controlling one's own destiny" was just a euphemism for wanting to be independent. It turned out that Hangada Dorje used this tragic story to test himself and Yuan Shikai. Lin Yuan glanced at it. Yuan Shikai frowned slightly. Lin Yuan knew that Yuan Shikai was also a dragon and phoenix among men. It was impossible for him not to know the implication of Hangada Dorji. answer."

Unexpectedly, Yuan Shikai let out a long sigh, and said to Hang Dadorji: "Master Lin's ability is far superior to that of Yuan, why don't you let Master Lin Yuan give you an idea."

After hearing Yuan Shikai's words, Lin Yuan thought to himself: "What a cunning Yuan Shikai, he kicked this difficult problem to me. It's okay, I'll use this opportunity to delay the war for a while."
