With the signing of the armistice agreement, the war without a decision has come to an end for the time being. Of course, the Japanese will not sincerely sigh at such an armistice agreement like the Americans after the Korean War, because

Although they did not achieve their goal, they at least gained some benefits. As for how to do it in the future, they naturally have their own ideas. You must know that the agreement is used to tear it down from the beginning of the signing. With the Japanese personality, they will not turn their backs on their faces again.

Late.

China suffered a loss on the surface, but in fact the signing of the armistice agreement also increased China's international status. The war between China and Japan did not last long, but the performance of the Chinese team in the war allowed Western countries to

Looking at it with admiration, since the Opium War, the Chinese team has always been weak and incompetent in the eyes of Western countries. They have touched the ruined tofu. Even if the Chinese naval officers and soldiers sacrificed their lives during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, they were still under the weak Japanese.

Fighting and falling.

In this war, the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army not only surprised the opponent, but also surprised Western countries. Especially in the Jiaodong battlefield, the powerful firepower of the direct army of the National Defense Forces can be compared with the second-rate regular army of European countries. Even the Fengtian battlefield is a battlefield.

The 27th Army of the local garrison troops still maintained its tenacious spirit despite huge losses and firmly defended the Buyunshan defense line under the attack of the main force of the Japanese army.

"The gap between China and Japan has narrowed, and to some extent the Japanese army is even worse than the Chinese army." This is based on the conclusion of Western countries such as Britain, France and Tsarist Russia on this war. If it weren't for the Chinese people who had no maritime rights,

The weak navy is unable to fight against the powerful Japanese fleet at all. I am afraid that the war between Japan will not sign a ceasefire agreement.

Because of this, since the signing of the armistice agreement, although Western countries have not said it on the surface, they have raised China's war potential to a similar position as Japan. Moreover, because Chinese children have not yet decrypted secret weapons, some people even

It is believed that China has actually surpassed Japan's strength. If nothing unexpected happens, it will replace it in time and become the overlord of the Far East.

Of course, these are just small-scale discussions within Western diplomats, military theorists, etc., and outsiders are not aware of them except for a very small number of people. On the second day after the agreement was signed, representatives of the member states of the mediation team will be added.

The Military Armistice Committee composed of representatives of China and Japan went to Jiaodong and Fengtian separately to supervise the commitments and obligations of both sides of the armistice.

Originally, Fang Zida was the main member of the negotiation team. In addition to the reason why Qingdao was in charge of Wu Peifu, it was most appropriate for him to join the Military Armistice Committee on behalf of the Chinese side and go to Jiaodong to supervise. But on the same day the agreement was signed, a news suddenly occurred.

It came that Fang Zida had to stay in Beijing.

"How is my father-in-law?"

The sky was just getting dark. Fang Zida, who received the news, rushed to the presidential palace. As soon as he entered the door, he saw his wife holding her son with red eyes and holding a piece of Juan in her hand and wiping tears. The one who accompanied her was a sad look.

Brother-in-law Yuan Kewen and several other younger brothers and sisters who were sobbing in a low voice.

"The doctor said...father...father he..." Before he finished speaking, Yuan Sizhen started crying bitterly.

"What's wrong with my father-in-law? Don't cry! What's wrong with him?"

Fang Zida's heart suddenly sank. Could it be that Yuan Shikai had... just as he was anxiously asking, Yuan Kewen said: "My father may not be able to do it anymore. The doctor said that maybe it was only in these few days."

"Take me to see." Fang Zida turned around and walked into the inner room with a serious expression. Yuan Kewen opened his mouth from behind, sighed and rushed forward, and accompanied Fang Zida to the backyard.

In the backyard, outside Yuan Shikai's residence, several of Yuan Shikai's wives stood in the yard with red and swollen eyes. There were three men who seemed to be doctors carrying the medicine box and looked worried. The atmosphere at the scene was extremely solemn.

"How is the President?" Fang Zida, one of the three doctors, knew one of them. He stepped forward and hurriedly pulled him over and asked anxiously.

"Mr. Fang, the President has not had much time, so it's better to cook the future generations as soon as possible."

"Why is it so sudden? Didn't it say that it got better a few days ago?" Fang Zida asked with a frown.

"It's just a look back. It's only two or three days for the three of us to be diagnosed with the president at most." The doctor shook his head and sighed.

"Hi!" For a moment, Fang Zida felt a mess. He thought Yuan Shikai could be killed for another period of time, but who thought that his condition would suddenly worsen to this point. Just as he continued to ask about Yuan Shikai's current situation, he suddenly went out of the hospital.

Someone came in again. Looking back, what they saw were Prime Minister Song Jiaoren, Minister of Defense Duan Qirui, Chief of General Staff Wang Shizhen, Senior President Senator Xu Shichang and other government officials.

Everyone had just heard the news. When they entered the yard, they quickly slowed down when they saw such a scene. Song Jiaoren, as the Prime Minister, had the highest status and led everyone to Fang Zida. He looked at the doctor with a serious expression.

Asking about the situation.

When everyone learned that Yuan Shikai's death was right in front of him, their faces were extremely heavy, especially Duan Qirui, Wang Shizhen, Xu Shichang and others, their eyes were even red.

The Beiyang integration, under the leadership of Yuan Shikai, the Beiyang Group can be said to have enjoyed the glory and glory of the world, but now this leader is about to leave. As the core of Beiyang, everyone is inevitably sad. Even Song Jiaoren and Yuan Shikai are in political terms.

There are differences, but the cooperation in recent years has been generally very pleasant. Moreover, with the suppression of Yuan Shikai, the government's constitutional system has been implemented smoothly. Thinking of this, Song Jiaoren couldn't help but cry.

Just as everyone was discussing to visit the house, the door creaked and opened. The person standing inside the door was Mrs. Jin, Yuan Shikai's favorite, and she kept standing there quietly with tears in her eyes.

"The master is awake. He wants to meet everyone. Premier Song, please come in first."

Song Jiaoren nodded slightly, looked back and looked at everyone, and stepped into the house. Mrs. Jin was guarding the door and helping to close the door. She didn't know what Yuan Shikai and Song Jiaoren said in the house. Soon after, the door opened again.

Song Jiaoren withdrew.

Then the Beiyang Group bosses, Duan Qirui, Wang Shizhen and Xu Shichang, entered the house one after another. Except for Feng Guozhang who was not in Beijing, most of the important people in the Beiyang Group came.

Half an hour later, Xu Shichang, who came out at the end, nodded at Fang Zida and signaled Yuan Shikai to let him in.

There was a smell of medicine in the room. Under the dim light, Yuan Shikai was leaning on the bed. His whole body was much heavier than before. His eyes, which were originally full of shinyness, have now become dim and unsightly.

"father in law……."

Fang Zida exclaimed softly, Yuan Shikai raised his hand and patted the edge of the bed weakly, signaling him to sit close to speak.

"My father-in-law, you should take a rest. I'm afraid I'll be tired after seeing so many people. It's not too late to wait until tomorrow."

"Tomorrow, I'm afraid I'll have no tomorrow." Yuan Shikai said weakly, and smiled reluctantly: "Zhengming doesn't have to comfort me. I know the best about my illness. In a hundred years of life, there will always be such a day. From the past to the Republic of China, I will clear my mind from the past to the Republic of China.

, holding a powerful soldier in his hand for decades, with mixed reputations and criticisms, it is not in vain to have a life of one's life."

"father in law……."

Waving his hand, he signaled Fang Zida not to speak. Yuan Shikai's eyes seemed to be looking into the distance, recalling his legendary and extraordinary life. After a long time, he sighed: "I don't have to say more, I don't have to say anything, I've said everything I should have said before.

I have told you that I will rely on you when I leave like this. Zheng Ming, you did a good job. The happiest thing in my life is to let you be my son-in-law. If you think about it, I can protect the Yuan family from food and clothing.

Worry-free.”

"Please rest assured, lord, Zida does not let the Yuan family down." Fang Zida nodded with tears.

"Before leaving, I have a few words to tell you." Yuan Shikai said softly: "I met everyone just now and talked to them. But people always have selfish intentions, and in fact, I am the same. I am there, some people are there.

Things may not be revealed, but I am afraid that there will be troublesome things in spring and autumn when I go like this. Xu Juren and Wang Pinqing are national sects. If there is any problem, you can ask them for help. Duan Zhiquan and Feng Huafu are dissatisfied with each other and are quite energetic. I am

I can still suppress them. I may fight for it as soon as I leave. Unfortunately, they are all talented rather than handsome people. If they fail to succeed, they may be more likely to fail. In addition, Duan Xiangyan, Cao Zhongshan, Lu Langzhai and others in Beiyang are all not fuel-efficient.

If you can't take it as you have used it, you can do it. However, it's better to save their lives if you can't kill them. Whether you exile or go abroad, it's a way out for my sake."

"yes!"

Seeing Fang Zida agreeing, Yuan Shikai breathed a sigh of relief. He patted Fang Zida's back with his weak right hand: "In addition, I didn't want to say something, but it's okay to say it now. Although Song Dunchu was very talented, he had many ideals.

Too realistic, it is of course good to be willing to serve the country, but governing the country is not a simple matter. I have been suppressing him, not because I am jealous of the talented people, but because I am afraid that his mind will cause chaos in the country. Moreover, there are countless people who talk big in kmt, Sun Wen

When people are far away from overseas, they will disrupt the situation at any time. Zheng Ming must be careful."

Because Yuan Shikai was in very bad health, he was exhausted after saying so many things. Some words could only be said in a long story short, but Fang Zida understood his thoughts and nodded immediately.

"Although the Sino-Japanese armistice is a bit regrettable, it is a good idea to be able to do this. Zheng Ming, be careful of the Japanese, be careful!"

After saying this, Yuan Shikai signaled Fang Zida to call all the Yuan family in. When the family arrived, he was almost dry and the lamp was dry. He suddenly supported him and sat up from the bed, his eyes were bright and his face even showed.

A hint of unnatural blush.

"In the old days, the swallows in front of the King and Xie Hall flew into the homes of ordinary people... Do you still remember what I said to you?"

"I will never forget the teachings of my father (husband)..." Everyone knelt down and responded loudly. After a long time, they didn't hear Yuan Shikai's words. Fang Zida looked up and looked at Yuan Shikai and was shocked. It turned out that Yuan Shikai was already sitting upright and smiling.
