: Looking for change (please give me a monthly vote!)

Almost as soon as Liang Qichao went to Lianyungang and the Ministry of Finance returned to Li Lianyun, Liang Shiyi, who had just re-released the position of Secretary-General of the Presidential Office, was immediately in a state of silence. Although the most important organizations in the Presidential Office were the Secretariat and the General's Office, they were called the "right-handed" of the Presidential Office. The Secretary-General was Liang Shiyi, and the Army Chief Duan Qirui also took charge of the affairs of the General's Office. It can be said that Secretary-General Liang once again presented the power of the government and the opposition in the early Republic of China.

However, for Liang Shiyi, he knew clearly that he finally finally helped Yuan Shikai solve the matter of Li Lianyun, which made him quite satisfied and gained trust again. After the "Prince Assassination Case", Liang Shiyi's first instinctive reaction was that Yuan Shikai sent someone to assassinate Li Zicheng.

Instinctive fear made Liang Shiyi choose to protect himself by saying that he is sick. In the complex personnel relationship, Liang Shiyi, who is in great shape, cannot have an opposite face. Because of this, since the "Prince Assassination Case", he has been careful to avoid any trouble and never see any generals who come to Beijing or the confidant of the brigade commander in order to avoid being jealous of Yuan Shikai again. At the same time, he wanted to contact Lianyungang many times to determine Li Zicheng's injury.

But before the news came, he got such a message that he couldn't speak for a long time.

The report sent to him by the Bank of Communications. He didn't want to see the corners of his eyes. He shook his head impatiently and said he would not eat it. From morning to night, he sat in the dormitory in a depressed manner, thinking hard, puzzled:

"Why did it end up being useless?"

The more I thought about it, the more I thought about it, the more angry Liang Shiyi became.

"Why did Liang Zhuoru seize the opportunity!"

He remembered that when the Li Zishen case was invaded, Yuan Shikai asked him if he was willing to go to Shanghai. At that time, his heart was extremely frightened, and that was a dead end. If Li Zicheng died in the hospital as soon as he arrived, those people would not take him to justice and avenge Li!

But later, he realized that he had a connection and cooperation with Li Lianyun. Even if Li Lianyun died, his subordinates would not only not kill him, but also needed him even more, so there was no danger for him to go to Shanghai. Besides, why Yuan Shikai was willing to decentralize power to Li was not because of Li Lianyun's 200,000 troops.

"Li Lianyun has strong military strength, and as long as he takes the initiative, I will be fine."

Although he thought so, Liang Shiyi decided to "accustomed of illness" after thinking hard. Only in this way can this storm be avoided. But he did not expect that his "accustomed of illness" and no one was willing to see Li Zicheng, Liang Qichao had the opportunity, and even made huge concessions to Yuan Shikai in this predicament.

Ministry of Finance!

Originally, Liang Shiyi was thinking about using the identity of Secretary-General of the Presidential Office to influence the Ministry of Transport and control the Ministry of Finance to establish his own power between Li and Yuan, and then use the Li and Yuan dispute to ensure his own interests. But now, the Ministry of Finance has become Li Lianyun.

What does it mean to return the Ministry of Finance to Li Lianyun? It means that Li Lianyun's State Council has the power to check and balance the Presidential Office. Unless Li Yuan tear apart, Liang Shiyi will not be able to interfere in the affairs of the Ministry of Finance. After all, by then the Ministry of Finance will be its most important agency for the State Council. How can Li Lianyun allow others to interfere?

Yuan Xiangcheng is confused, right?

While this thought arose in his heart, Liang Shiyi frowned. He meant that Yuan Xiangcheng was confused, it was clearly because he was irritated by his inability to seek medical treatment!

No, I want to see Yuan Xiangcheng!

Fortunately, it's okay!

Thinking of his previous conversation with Duan Qirui, Yuan Shikai breathed a sigh of relief. Although Duan Qirui had some opinions about him, he still leaned towards him on some issues. It is not surprising that Li Lianyun had his own army and his own staff. If he was asked to interfere in the affairs of the Army, he would reset a staff. At that time, the Beiyang faction would have to fall under the Longhai faction. How could Duan Qirui, who was arrogant and arrogant, be willing to do so?

Therefore, for Duan Qirui, the best choice is to follow him and Yuan Shikai, rather than the young man.

For Yuan Shikai, he clearly realized that after Liang Qichao arrived in Lianyun this time, as long as Li Zicheng was not seriously injured, he would respond soon. As soon as he came to Beijing, his State Council would be in opposition to the Presidential Office. By then, for Yuan Shikai, the safest way is to seize military power.

As for what he said to Duan Qirui before, he might make concessions. That is just a matter of making concessions. What can he make more concessions? If he makes concessions, he cannot give up military power. If he makes concessions, he can put his neck under someone else's knife. He can give up anything, but military power cannot be given up!

Just then, someone suddenly reported it.

"Secretary-General Liang Shiyi asked for a meeting!"

Liang Yansun?

After thinking of this "Plum Agent Cases", Secretary-General Liang Da was so scared that he was "sick" that he frowned. What Liang Yansun was thinking, of course he knew that he was afraid that he was afraid that he was really doing the matter himself, so he chose to "sick" him. Although he was dissatisfied with him because of this, he thought that he had been tired of dealing with it in the past few days, so his anger slowed down, and he was more dependent on Liang Yansun in the future, and his face slowed down even more.

"Please come in!"

Minutes later, standing in front of Yuan Shikai, Liang Shiyi had a dark face and slowly took out a letter, held it in front of Yuan Shikai in both hands, and said in a muffled voice:

"Please take a look at the President."

Looking at Liang Shiyi's face, Yuan Shikai was stunned. What's wrong with Liang Yansun? Before I could show my anger, he was angry. This matter was overturned!

He quickly unfolded and recognized Liang Shiyi's ink trace at a glance. When he looked at the words on it, the smile that had finally been displayed on his face would disappear immediately.

"Resignation letter!"

Looking at those words, Yuan Shikai felt cold

"What is this Liang Yansun thinking!"

Yuan Shikai, who was angry, wanted to throw the letter down and not read it. Perhaps because he wanted to show the president's ambition, Yuan Shikai still resisted this impulse.

"Sun Yan, this..."

"President, after hearing that the President has decided to give in to Li, Shi Yi really dares not serve as Secretary-General again. Please ask the President to elect another capable person!"

Concessions to Li?

Yo? Liang Yansun was thinking in his heart, but Yuan Shikai was thinking in a deep voice.

"The President, some things can be given, and some things cannot be given. This finance is the source of all politics. Does the President still remember the central government's financial difficulties in the early days of the Republic of China? If there was no financial difficulties that day, how could he have the power to Longhai today? If the Ministry of Finance and the Treasury handed over to Li Lianyun, would the President not have the predicament of the Presidential Palace that year!"

Liang Shiyi looked like he was a country and a public servant, and even when he was talking, his face was full of excitement.

"President, you are smart for life and confused for a while! If you give up the Ministry of Finance, then Li Lianyun will be content. This will let him know the bottom line of the President. At that time, what Li Lianyun does will be doing will be lying in Lianyun and forcing the President to give up power little by little!"

"Bastard! I, Yuan Weiting, is a three-year-old child. I was shocked by your words?"

Although his heart trembled with his impolite words to Liang Shiyi, Yuan Shikai still said earnestly:

"Son Yan, this matter cannot be viewed like this. Now, state affairs are the most important thing now!"

Then, Yuan Shikai looked like he was the country and the public.

"Now that Li Lianyun was stabbed and injured, his injury is still unknown. If the central government does not make appropriate concessions, this country will be out of power!"

"Is the President worried that Li Lianyun would refuse to come to Beijing to serve with his injuries, right?"

Liang Shiyi dispelled Yuan Shikai's disguise without hesitation. He knew the inside story naturally knew what Yuan Shikai's true thoughts were.

"But the President, have you ever thought about whether Li Lianyun would take the opportunity to blackmail? If Li Lianyun asked the Army and the Navy again, would the President want to give the two ministries to Li Lianyun to appease Li Lianyun!"

Liang Shiyi's words made Yuan Shikai feel dizzy, so he lay on the chair, closed his eyes, and just gasped.

yes!

If Li Lianyun wanted to take charge of military power, what should he do then? Could it be... At that time, I am afraid that he can only rely on Duan Zhiquan!

But if Duan Zhiquan was... facing down, Yuan Shikai would never dare to think about it anymore. Suddenly, a sense of fear flashed through his heart. Now, what should we do now!

Thoughtful, Yuan Shikai looked at Liang Shiyi and said.

"Zhuo Ru, I went to Lianyun yesterday!"

"President, are you sure Li Lianyun is really injured?"

When talking about Li Lianyun's injury, Liang Shiyi's heart flashed with a little sneer. In any case, he must prevent him from getting the Ministry of Finance. The Ministry of Finance is Liang Shiyi's, and no one can be allowed to be involved in it.

Really injured?

Liang Shiyi's problem only made Yuan Shikai frown, and his face became more and more ugly as this. This was the problem he had always been worried about. Is that boy Li Lianyun really injured?

Or, has he really been attacked by an assassin?

Who is the biggest beneficiary of the "Plum Pillar Case" now?

It’s not him Yuan Shikai!

Not the so-called revolutionary party!

But he, Li Lianyun!

After this case, no matter whether Yuan Shikai was willing to give up power, in order to appease Li Lianyun, he could only use one or two real power departments to appease him as Liang Qichao suggested. In this way, Li Lianyun became the biggest beneficiary of the entire incident.

Who suffers the most in this incident?

It’s not the revolutionary party, but for the revolutionary party, it’s not as simple as not being able to bite people if there are too many lice. He had to take out departments that he didn’t need to take out at all to appease Li Lianyun. In this incident, the one who suffered the most was Yuan Shikai!

Under the hat of the real murderer behind the scenes, I have to try my best to comfort, please, and...

In silence, Yuan Shikai sat there without saying a word. After a long time, Yuan Shikai sneered and then sighed again.

"This... let Zhuo Ru go and test it!"

Liang Shiyi, who knew Yuan Shikai, heard a deep sense of dissatisfaction and unwillingness from Yuan Shikai's seemingly sighing words. Yuan Shikai's performance made him sneer in his heart. Yuan Shikai still had his concerns.

Ministry of Finance...Li Lianyun wanted to get Ministry of Finance, but it was not that simple. After a change of thought, Liang Shiyi took two steps forward, looked forward slightly, and then whispered.

"President, in fact, this matter is not without room for operation..."

Then Liang Shiyi whispered his suggestion to Yuan Shikai, but his intention was to make Yuan Shikai's eyes lit up, his face instantly improved, and finally he even applauded. When he was about to come, he looked up at Liang Shiyi and praised him.

"Okay! Yan Sun, just do this. This trick is really..."

Before he finished speaking, a cheerful laughter rang out in Juren Hall. The laughter made the guards outside Juren Hall look at each other, and they read each other's meaning from each other's eyes. Liang Yansun really deserved to be Liang Yansun. As soon as he came, the president, who had long been smiling for many days, suddenly laughed out loud. Others really don't have the ability to do this!

"This is really hard for others to reach!"

Almost the first time the train entered Longhai Road Xuzhou Station via Jingpu Road, Liang Qichao exclaimed in his heart. Although Liang Qichao, as the "Presidential Envoy", took the express train, the carriage was the most luxurious "Presidential Carriage" among the blue steel carriages produced by Lianyungang Locomotive Manufacturing Factory. The decoration in this carriage showed European luxury. However, along the way, Liang Qichao did not focus on the decoration of this carriage, but kept looking through the several information about the Longhai Line and Li Zicheng that he had obtained before leaving Beijing.

But if the information is information, I have never seen the Longhai Line with my own eyes and I don’t know what the Longhai Industrial Belt is. The high-voltage poles made of steel along the line are one after another, and there are even more factories along the line. The tall chimneys and huge factories all show the spectacle of industrial machines to the world, but for more people, this is shocking.

Liang Qichao, who has traveled all over China, even for many years, has never seen such a dense high-voltage power grid or a train running around in Japan. Looking at everything outside the car window, Liang Qichao finally understood why when Xu Shuzheng first came to Longhai, he left the amazement that "the general traveled all over the country and found that industry gathered in Longhai."

"To develop industry, we have to rely on people like Li Lianyun!"

As the train ran past and looked at the factory area outside the window, Liang Qichao was like every newcomer to Longhai, and let out such an amazement in his heart. In addition to his amazement, he even couldn't help but fantasize that if Li Lianyun had been born 30 years ago, perhaps the result of the Westernization Movement in the Qing Dynasty would be very different. Sheng Xuanhuai, who was famous for "doing industry well", had a decades of achievements as much as his three years. Moreover, according to newspaper reports, Longhai's factory area was not limited to one city and one place, but an industrial belt with railways as the vein.

In the past three years, with the convenient transportation advantages of the Longhai Railway, the rich coal resources of Lieshan, Huainan and the rich iron ore resources of Huoqiu, as well as the leading role of Lianyungang Industrial Zone, the Longhai Railway has quickly become a success. In the past three years, with the extension of the Longhai Railway to the inland China, the duty-free station land along the line has become the most important industrial area in China and also a mining area.

"Li Zhiyuan is lucky, and it can even be said that China is lucky. According to the "Longhai Railway Construction Agreement", the railway company's land for middle road materials also enjoy preferential conditions for station land use. Half of those road materials land were subsequently discovered. The minerals mined from the mines of road materials land were transported directly to the nearest station land via narrow-gauge railways, and smelted in factories on the land, and then transported by railways to various factory enterprises along the line. Finally, they were processed into industrial products and sold domestically through railways, or exported from Lianyungang overseas...."

In Liang Qichao's mind, the descriptions of the Longhai Industrial Belt mentioned in the information emerged. Among those adjectives, the Longhai Railway, which has been built in Chang'an and is heading towards Baoji and Lanzhou, is the dragon ridge of this industrial Belt that runs across central China, and the narrow-gauge railways extending to various mining areas are the dragon ribs of this giant dragon body. The rich mineral resources, agricultural resources and human resources along the line have become the driving force for the development of this giant dragon. All of this constitutes its dragon body. The factory area distributed in the "spine" of the dragon ridge continuously provides energy for the giant dragon, and all elements have promoted the dragon's takeoff.

"If this Longhai Railway continues to stretch across the land of China..."

Suddenly, this idea came to Liang Qichao's mind. His idea was very simple. It was to continue to be built on the Longhai Railway, not only to build the Longhai Railway, but also to Sichuan, Hubei, Hunan, and even to the whole of China. By then, the dragon will become bigger and bigger, and eventually, the dragon will become the entire China. If this is the case along the railway, then it will no longer be the appearance of "a train moves, ten thousand taels of gold", but the appearance of "a railway repair will be strong for the whole country."

"You should come to Lianyun early!"

Suddenly, Liang Qichao regretted it because while he was winning the Ministry of Finance for Li Lianyun, he gave up the Ministry of Transport, which had the "little Ministry of Finance", to Yuan Shikai. This means that the Longhai Railway cannot be built again. The Longhai already forced Yuan Shikai to give up the position of prime minister to Li Zicheng. If Longhai Road expands to the whole of China, then, the position of president may be...

Just as I was in deep thought, the scenery outside the car window slowed down, and the train slowly began to slow down. While the train slowed down, the scenery outside the car window changed, but it was green. The place where I saw was full of green. Lush forests were distributed on both sides of the road, and the railway even began to slowly descend. High stone walls began to appear on both sides of the road, and there were still dense forests on the stone wall. When the train completely entered the stone wall passage, Liang Qichao heard a sound coming from the loudspeaker of the car.

"Dear passengers, the terminal station of this train, Lianyungang Central Station, has arrived. Thank you for taking this train..."
