Yuan Manor, study room.
Yuan Shikai and his trusted subordinates were discussing state affairs.
Yuan Shikai's expression was also ugly. The Southern Revolutionary Party had promised that as long as Yuan Shikai forced the Qing Emperor to abdicate, they would elect him as the Grand President. But now, Sun Dapao had become the president of Jinling. This was clearly not keeping his promise and was trying to steal his position.
"Milord, why don't we just march south? I don't believe that those southern barbarians can stop our northern lions!”Army Minister Wang Pinqing suggested. He was an old man who trained at Yuan Shikai's small station and was known as the leader of the three heroes of Beiyang.
"That's right! Sir, just fight them directly. They are definitely not our match.”Duan Zhiquan, the commander of the Northern Army's Third Town, had the same suggestion.
"Let me think about it!"
"Yes, my lord!" Everyone could only stop persuading him.
"Milord, Second Young Master requests an audience." At this moment, Military Advisor Yang Xingcheng walked in.
"Milord, we will take our leave first.”
"Alright then!" Yuan Shikai nodded.
The core members of Beiyang bowed to Yuan Shikai and left.
Yuan Baocen was outside the study and happened to bump into these big shots of Beiyang.
"Hello, Uncle Xu!"
"Hello, Uncle Wang!"
……
Yuan Baocen changed his previous arrogance and bowed to these big shots.
"Ah! Hello, Second Young Master! Wouldn't this be a huge blow to this old man!"
The Beiyang elders were all shocked by Yuan Baocen's sudden change. They knew what Yuan Baocen was like previously.
"What happened? Could it be that after Second Young Master recovered from his illness, he was completely different?”
"Who knows? This is an adult's family matter, it's not our business!”
The group of big shots left the Yuan residence.
"Father, your son pays his respects to you!"
After Yuan Baocen saw Yuan Shikai, he bowed respectfully to him.
"Yes! Have a seat." Yuan Shikai nodded.
Only then did Yuan Baocen sit on the chair.
"Bao Cen, have you recovered?"
"Father, I'm already fully recovered."
"Yes, Father is right!"
Yuan Shikai could not help but be a little surprised. Usually, this second son of his was not so obedient.
"Bao Cen, is there something wrong?”Yuan Shikai asked.
"Father, your son has already made up his mind. I don't want to play with words all day long. Please agree to your son's request and let your son serve in the army!”Yuan Baocen officially raised his request.
"What is it? You want to go to the army?" Yuan Shikai was stunned. Did these words come from his son who hated the military? She looked out the window. The sun didn't rise from the west.
Yuan Shikai suddenly felt a sense of relief.
He had many children, but none of them were capable. The eldest, Yuan Yuntai, was ambitious. Although the second son, Yuan Baocen, had made great achievements in literature, it was not what Yuan Shikai wanted to see. As for his other sons, they were all mediocre people.
Now, Yuan Baocen was able to wake up, which made him very gratified.
However, Yuan Shikai did not make a decision immediately.
"Bao Cen, what do you think of the recent situation in the country?”Yuan Shikai had the heart of examination and correction.
"Humph! They had a good plan!”Yuan Shikai snorted coldly.
"Naturally. They were completely delusional! We have the most powerful army in the country. If they annoy us, we'll just send our troops south and defeat them!”
"But the attitude of the superpowers is very important. The Japanese supported them.”Yuan Shikai frowned.
"Father, the attitude of the Japanese is not important. The other superpowers did not want China to continue being in such chaos. "As long as we can bring out the momentum of sweeping across the six directions and quickly stabilize the situation in China, the superpowers will stand on our side.”
