Painful choice

Although Jiang Chaozong knew that this was just an excuse made by some politicians who had the ambition to seal the border and split the country.If, as Zhang Yuenian said, the entire Northwest Army has already fallen into their hands?So the handsome Nie Shicheng is what they call the master?

No, no.If he is the mastermind of this operation, then he can find any reason to redeploy himself.It's enough to have someone close to guard Hanzhong, why bother to recruit so many people, it's both prestige and temptation?
But if not him then who would it be?Who has such a great ability to control an army?Frankly speaking, although the army has been reorganized, General Nie's Northwest Army has many new troops to join.But the prestige of the old man and the hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands can still shock those recruits!

Before Jiang Chaozong could figure it out, Zhang Yuenian's strange voice rang in his ears again.

"Hehe, Master Jiang. The Hanzhong you are guarding is an important military area. If our master gives an order, your troops will bear the brunt of the attack from the imperial army, so it is very important. Master Ni and Master Lin are specially appointed by our master. Transferred here to cooperate with the defense!"

Jiang Chaozong was taken aback, and hurriedly asked: "Who is the master that Mr. Zhang said? I, Jiang, must know who I am working for, right? In addition, during the current emperor's southern tour, the Ministry of War has strictly ordered troops from all over the world not to move around at will." .The two divisions in Hanzhong are deploying such a big move, isn’t it telling the imperial court that we have a problem here!”

Zhang Yuenian said proudly: "Hahaha, Mr. Jiang is indeed a man who has survived a hundred battles! Zhang admires his careful consideration. However, Mr. Jiang only knows one thing, not the other. Zhang has already said it just now, everyone The entire northwestern half of the Qing Dynasty is already in the hands of our master. What's more, the emperor has now fallen into our hands in Hangzhou."

Before Zhang Yuenian finished speaking, Shaanxi governor Zhu Yintao who had been silent all this time interrupted suddenly: "That's enough, since Master Jiang has a grudge against us. If you don't guard against it, hand over your military power. This government will give you some money to enjoy in the ends of the earth. .Don't get involved in this troubled world!"

"Lord Zhu misunderstood Jiang, Jiang just wanted to know who has firmly grasped this half of the country. If this person really loves the people like a son, he can bring us a happy life for the people of Northwest China. I, Jiang, are willing to follow the left and right. Never betray!" Jiang Chaozong said firmly.

Zhang Yuenian nodded happily, and said: "Mr. Jiang is really quick to talk, our master is generous and kind, ten times stronger than Guangxu! Moreover, he is not a Manchu alien. He is my true dragon emperor of the Han nationality!"

"Who is this person?" Jiang Chaozong continued to ask with wide-eyed eyes.

"Mr. Jiang, don't ask any more questions. You will know when the time comes! If Mr. Jiang is willing to follow, with your military talents, you will definitely become the founding general of the country! In addition, our master does not want to cause wars due to turmoil and cause people to lose their lives. I just want to Make the country in the northwest independent of the Qing Dynasty. Anyway, the Qing Dynasty did not really care about our people in the northwest. Can you see how the people in the southeast coast can compare with our people in the northwest? Why do they have enough food and clothing, while we just You can go hungry!" Zhu Yintao said impatiently.

"Okay, what do you want me to do?" Jiang Chaozong had to lower his head and said in a compromise.

"Okay, those who know the current affairs are heroes! Now, the exact location of the emperor's southern tour is known. Guangxu, like his ancestors, is a greedy guy. Even if the land in the northwest is left unused, he will never allow it to be divided. Therefore, If he doesn't die, our Northwest cannot be independent! If Guangxu doesn't die, there will be endless wars. So he must die! First of all," Zhu Yintao whispered in Jiang Chaozong's ear.

Obviously, they still don't have much trust in Jiang Chaozong who just joined.He simply told him that he was going to assassinate Guangxu, and that the five northwestern provinces would be declared independent on the day the assassination was successful.The establishment of the new Great Qin Empire, on the one hand, has a similar pronunciation to the Qing Empire, and on the other hand, Shaanxi was originally a land belonging to the Qin State during the Warring States Period.

Although Jiang Chaozong is only 35 years old, of course he has his own unique insights into the development of the situation after serving in the army for many years. After listening to them, he also began to make his own calculations.

On the surface, what Zhu Yintao said has the possibility of success.However, the southeast coast of the Qing Dynasty is a rich land, and the northwest is poor and remote, with inconvenient transportation.It's not that the imperial court doesn't care about the northwest, it's really burdened by traffic.

If the rebellion in the five northwestern provinces is really successful, there will be no Guangxu.The generals in the imperial court, such as Feng Xianghua, Dong Liang, Liu Mingchuan, Lu Yiwei, etc., would not look at the entire Northwest and divide it up like this.

But if a war breaks out, although the steep terrain in the northwest can become a natural barrier, it will also seriously affect the transportation of its own supply lines.In addition, although the people in the Northwest are tough, they have no money or food.Guns and ammunition are all problems, so how can we fight this battle?

Most of the gun bureaus in China are concentrated in the southeast, southwest, Hubei and other places.There is really no decent gun bureau in the Northwest, even with the support of foreign forces, it can't withstand the long war of attrition.

The most important thing is that even if you succeed in following the rebellion.It is also the infamy of seeking glory behind the back of the seller, but once the rebellion is wiped out, it will be a masterpiece of the world!That being the case, then.

After thinking it over, Jiang Chaozong cleared his throat and said, "My lords, since the destiny is what I want, I can only obey the will. Jiang is also a child of the Han nationality who is indomitable. There is no reason to sacrifice his life for the Qing Dynasty! Please bear witness, my lords, If there is any negative relationship in the future, it will be like this cup!"

"Boom" followed a crisp sound.A wine glass fell from Jiang Chaozong's hand. After falling to the ground, the glass broke instantly, and the fragments immediately scattered around.

"Okay!" Everyone present shouted at the same time.

Afterwards, everyone sitting there drank happily.Not long after, Jiang Chaozong was so drunk that he was unconscious.After everyone helped him to the bedroom, they left one after another.

After everyone left, Jiang Chaozong immediately changed into a suit of casual clothes and rushed back to the barracks.I found the old subordinate who served as the company commander under me when I was the battalion commander.The current head of the colonel, Wang Ergou!
"Goofy, I have a task for you!" Jiang Chaozong said hastily.

"Master, what is the hurry?"

"Find some trustworthy brothers for me, and go to the capital, Hangzhou, and Myanmar immediately."

"Why are you running to these places?"

"Don't talk nonsense, this is a secret order. When you arrive in the capital, give this to Kang Youwei, Mr. Kang! When you arrive in Hangzhou, immediately go to the prefect of Hangzhou to find Feng Xianghua and hand this to General Feng yourself! This is to General Wang Feng in Burma!"

"What's the matter?" Wang Ergou looked at Jiang Chaozong suspiciously and asked without knowing why.

"Don't worry about it so much, just do what you are asked to do? In short, people believe in them, and they will be destroyed when they die. It can't fall into the hands of others! Do you understand?" Jiang Chaozong ordered solemnly.

"Yes, Master." Ergou has followed Jiang Chaozong for so many years, and he somewhat felt the tension emanating from the Master.It's no less than a preparatory meeting before a big battle.
