Jin Yuran has been on vacation for two months, and time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye, in the middle of June of this year, from the last time Jin Yuran returned to China to this time in the two years, a lot of things have really happened outside: the outbreak of the "October Revolution" in Russia, the defeat of Germany, the Paris Peace Conference, the Chinese delegation's refusal to sign the Paris Peace Conference, the armed intervention of more than a dozen capitalist countries in the civil war in Soviet Russia, the "May Fourth" movement, and the burning of Zhao's family building by the student tide......

The world form is changing, the world tide is mighty, and the domestic form is also turbulent, and Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary party in the south is also actively accumulating strength, and convened an extraordinary meeting of the National Assembly in Guangzhou, organized a government to protect the law, and took office as the generalissimo, swore to the Northern Expedition, and prepared for the third revolution. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 With the rise of the workers' movement, and with the sound of the "October Revolution", Marxism was further spread in China, and at the same time, like a "baby about to mature in the womb of a mother", a new representative of political force - the Communist Party was about to be born! The pace of "unification by force" of the whole country by Duan Qirui, Xu Shuzheng, and other powerful factions of the Anhui faction is also stepping up......

During this period, another incident happened, not long ago, Xu Shuzheng, who was empty-eyed, killed Lu Jianzhang, a veteran of Beiyang who was a police chief during the Yuan Shikai period and was known as the "Murderer Demon King". Lu Jianzhang's nephew and son-in-law is Feng Yuxiang, a famous "chameleon" general in the Republic of China who was ****** called a "hypocrite", for which Xu Shuzheng buried the disaster of killing himself, but this is a later story......

Soon Lu Zhengxiang, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, summoned Jin Yuran: he wanted him to be the minister of the Weimar Republic of Germany or the Kingdom of Belgium, and said that as long as Premier Duan agreed, he would submit it to President Xu Shichang for approval. But Xu Shuzheng talked to Jin Yuran as a good friend, hoping that he could do more specific things, such as business, in order to better protect China's interests in the upcoming large-scale trade between China and Europe, and Duan Qirui listened to Xu Shuzheng the most, Jin Yuran and Xu Shuzheng are good friends, so many years later, Jin Yuran still remembers that after Xu Shuzheng talked to him that day, the two went to meet Duan Qirui again......

Jin Yuran and Xu Shuzheng sat in the same car, and the car drove to Duan Qirui's mansion in Cangnan Hutong, Dongcheng District. The car drove into the alley and was still some distance away from Duan's house, so Xu Shuzheng got out of the car and walked, which was also Xu Shuzheng's habit to show respect for Duan Qirui.

As soon as the two of them walked to the gate of Duanfu, they saw a large area of things placed next to the two huge stone lions at the gate, and the alleys on both sides of the gate were full of onlookers, and the guards of Duanfu set up a cordon next to the gate. Xu and Jin pushed aside the crowd and walked to the front, and saw that there were still many soldiers in yellow clothes and gray clothes kneeling on the ground, Duan Qirui's wife Zhang Shi Peixing was explaining to them?

Mrs. Duan seemed to be relieved when she saw Xu Shuzheng, and hurriedly said, "Oops! Xiao Xuzi, you're here! Let's see what to do, right? Xu Shuzheng understood that this was the rejection of the overseers from all over the country to give gifts, Xu Shuzheng walked up to Mrs. Duan: "Mr. Zhang (Zhang Peiheng) don't worry! I'll take care of that! "Xu Shuzheng is the best at dealing with this kind of thing. Xu Shuzheng called Mrs. Duan Mr., not only because of his respect for Mrs. Duan and Duan Qirui, but also because Mrs. Duan did serve as the tutor of Yuan Shikai's family.

A soldier in a yellow military uniform ran to Xu Shuzheng's front and saluted, and said, "Report Lord Xu!" You see, this is a gift from the Overseers to Prime Minister Duan! But Premier Duan didn't accept it, and ordered us to take it back today! Crying and pointing to the gift, Xu Shuzheng knew at a glance that it was a multi-fan combination screen inlaid with various gems given to Duan Qirui by the JS overseer Qi Xieyuan, which was colorful and dazzling, very beautiful! Xu Shuzheng looked at Mrs. Duan, Mrs. Duan's eyes also showed reluctance, and she wanted to speak again, Xu Shuzheng was just about to speak, Mrs. Duan waved her hand and sighed and said, "Alas! Forget it! The lord won't agree! It's amazing to be discovered by the master! Xu Shuzheng had no choice but to turn around and say to the adjutant of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang overseers: "Don't say anything!" Take the stuff back! When I go back and tell you about the Governor of Qi, I said that I said, 'The prime minister doesn't want these treasures, but he wants his eyes to be bright', understand? Otherwise, the Prime Minister would really be angry! "What else does the adjutant want to say? Xu Shuzheng said: "You just transfer what I said to him, and you are fine!" The adjutant had no choice but to wave his hand and order his men to pull the screen back.

At this time, a soldier of the Northeast Army wearing a dogskin hat next to him came up and grabbed Xu Shuzheng's sleeve without losing it, and said continuously: "Deputy commander-in-chief! Deputy Commander-in-Chief! You've got to say a word to us! Otherwise, I won't be able to explain when I go back! O Deputy Commander-in-Chief! Ouch! What to do? As he spoke, he shook his head and shook his hands, his tall body was bitter, but his face was bitter. Xu Shuzheng knew that this was the adjutant of Zhang Zuolin, the patrol envoy of the three eastern provinces, so Xu Shuzheng was also the deputy commander-in-chief of the Northeast Feng Army at this time, so Zhang Zuolin's adjutant knew Xu Shuzheng and called him: "Deputy Commander-in-Chief" Xu Shuzheng looked at the gifts sent by Zhang Zuolin, there were several boxes of old ginseng, tiger whips, and good deer antler velvet, etc., which were actually local specialties in the Northeast. Xu Shuzheng pointed to an oil-paper bag in the gift and asked the adjutant, "What is this bag?" The adjutant hurriedly replied: "Report to the deputy commander-in-chief!" This is a specialty of Changbai Mountain, wild hazelnut shiitake mushroom and black fungus! Xu Shuzheng took it down and said to the adjutant, "Okay! I'll keep this and take the rest back! The adjutant took out two more fish from the basket and begged Xu Shuzheng: "The deputy commander-in-chief can't do it!" If you can't complete the task, you have to scold me to death! Do you think these two river fish can't be put anymore? Xu Shuzheng took the fish and said with a smile: "What did the handsome scold you?" Scold your mother for pulling a slap? Scolding you for being a king and eight calves? All right! I also accepted the fish for Premier Duan, and you can take the rest back! Everything is pushed on me! Xu Shuzheng handed over the paper bag and two fish to the subordinates of the Duan Mansion, and Zhang Zuolin's adjutant saw this, so he had to ask people to bring the rest back.

But at this time, a soldier in a gray military uniform next to him knelt on the ground and did not leave, and he still muttered: "Russia (I) will not leave!" Russia (I) will not go! Russia (I) went back to Yan Dujun and had to pick the skin of Russia (me)! When Yan Dujun sent Russia (me) to come, he said that Du Ming (Bao) Bai: Premier Duan has the grace of regeneration for him, and he wants to honor Premier Duan! If you can't complete the (still) task, you will ask Russia (me) to go back to Wutai's hometown kang! As he spoke, he began to cry. Listening to the voice, needless to say, this is the person from the SX Overseer Yan Xishan, Xu Shuzheng saw that the gift was all pearl treasures, so he said to the soldiers on the ground: "Yan Overseer's intentions, Prime Minister Duan has grasped it, these things and the ocean are temporarily stored in him, and Premier Duan will be useful immediately!" Yan Xishan's adjutant wanted to say something, Xu Shuzheng said, "Tell Yan Dujun!" Let's just say I said it! That's what the adjutant wanted, and he hurriedly ordered someone to carry the box away, but whether the money was really used by Xu Shuzheng for military training in the northwest is unknown! Xu Shuzheng turned to Mrs. Duan and said, "Mr. Zhang (Zhang Peiheng), please let someone know, we want to see the boss (Duan Qirui)!" Mrs. Duan pointed at Xu Shuzheng and said with a smile: "You are disgusting with me, aren't you?" God pity! When did your little Xu Zi come to our Duan family and call someone to report it? Xu Shuzheng also smiled, it is true that only Xu Shuzheng went to Duan Mansion to see Duan Qirui and never needed to be reported by the adjutant, he came straight into the inner room if he wanted to, and he never talked about leaving after finishing his errands!

As soon as the two entered the gate, Jin Yuran saw a huge and majestic eagle-shaped stone sculpture in the courtyard, one of the eagle's claws grabbed a globe made of stone, and the other claw grabbed the sky, as if to show the world that it was the master of heaven and earth. Jin Yuran thought to himself that Premier Duan didn't want gold and silver treasures, so what did he want? Oh! Maybe that's what he wants, right? The two went to the living room of the inner courtyard to see Premier Duan and greet him, but Premier Duan Qirui was still angry, pointing to the people who gave gifts outside and said to Xu and Jin: "Whoever bribes me will ask for me!" Isn't this forcing them to be greedy? The rights intersect, the rights are scattered, and the friendship is scattered! Duan Qirui breathed again as he spoke, his nose trembled and he scolded angrily: "These feudal officials hum! Damn it! This is all people's fat and people's ointment! No way! I'm going to 'hang the fish and refuse to salute' outside the gate! Jin Yuran stood aside and didn't dare to say anything!

Xu Shuzheng saw this scene, and immediately smiled and said, "Boss! Today, Brother Yuling is here, and I dare to drop a sentence of the bookbag, in the past, 'Yang goods want to see Confucius, Confucius is not seen, and Confucius is a dolphin." Confucius died when he died, and he worshipped him, 'You see that the sage Confucius is disdainful of such a person, don't you also find a way to return the favor while he is away?' So don't be too ruthless to these 'yang goods' who hold real power in various places, we still have to win the hearts of the people" Xu Shuzheng said according to the current situation, but Duan Qirui ignored this stubble: "No! It's a shame that you still talk about the Analects, I think you read Yao Nai's "Ancient Literary Dictionary Compilation" stupidly, right? Don't you know that Lao Tzu's 'misfortune is greater than not being satisfied; The blame is greater than the desire. Therefore the saying 'is enough to be content'? Don't hurt me! Duan Qirui borrowed Lao Tzu's words, what he said made sense, this is also his creed of being a man all his life, he doesn't want to be a greedy man who sacrifices money.

If Xu Shuzheng would definitely argue with him in the past, it would be fine for the two of them to quarrel with each other, but today there was something in front of a third party, Jin Yuran, and he couldn't brush Duan Qirui's face, so he quickly changed the topic and said, "Hey! Boss! Every time I play Go with you, you are killed by your old man, I remember it! A few days ago, I learned a few tricks from Ji Zhi (referring to Zhang Jian, the champion of the late Qing Dynasty, Xu Shuzheng's good friend in the New Year), and today I want to ask you for a lesson. Originally, Xu Shuzheng's discussion with Duan Qirui was straightforward, and there was no need to be so troublesome, but today Premier Duan was quite angry because of the gifts given by officials from various places, so Xu Shuzheng played a trick. It just so happened that Duan Qirui was a Go riddle, and when he heard it, he suddenly came to his senses and became happy: "Okay!" Good! Kill a game! Qingyuan (referring to Wu Qingyuan, a national player in Go) This kid is also good at the level now, okay! But how does your little stinky chess basket compare to Hongye (Duan Qirui's eldest son and also a Go master)'s chess skills? Xu Shuzheng squinted his eyes and smiled: "Don't worry about this boss!" Taking advantage of Duan Qirui's happy time playing chess, Xu Shuzheng implemented Jin Yuran's appointment in person.

When the two walked out of Duan Qirui's living room to the front yard after finishing their errands, they saw the cook of Duan's Mansion carrying a big pumpkin passing by, Xu Shuzheng asked, "Huh! This pumpkin is so big! Where did it come from? The cook immediately replied, "Back to Lord Xu, it was given to the master by Commander Feng!" Because it's worthless and you can't cut it in half, you can take it all! Xu Shuzheng and Jin Yuran both knew that the chef was referring to Feng Yuxiang, the commander of the 16th Mixed Brigade of the Army, who was the commander of the Xiangxi Town Guard at the time. After listening to this, Jin Yuran looked at the big pumpkin, and said to Xu Shuzheng thoughtfully: "General Feng is really a caring person!" is really worthy of being brought out by Lu Jianzhang! Brother Zheng, you said yes, right? Jin Yuran's words were reminding his friends, Xu Shuzheng was slightly stunned after hearing this, but he didn't take Jin Yuran's words to heart......

Coming out of Duan's house, Jin Yuran sat in the car and looked at Xu Shuzheng beside him, but his mind kept thinking about a question: how to evaluate Duan Qirui, Xu Shuzheng, and Lu Zhengxiang? There are also local powerhouses like Wu Peifu and Zhang Zuolin, how will history evaluate these figures? Jin Yuran couldn't think of an answer, so he had to close his eyes. Don't say that Jin Yuran couldn't give an answer at that time, even today in the 21st century, there is no accurate conclusion about these historical figures. Duan Qirui is called the "six non-prime ministers", that is: "no smoking, no drinking, no prostitution, no gambling, no greed, no possession" in the materialistic period, no officials and no greed, is extremely commendable, especially his "three republics" as a more praised by future generations. As a professional diplomat, Lu Zhengxiang did his utmost to safeguard China's rights and interests in his future international exchanges, and even fought the basis of reason during the Paris peace talks and refused to sign the peace treaty. Like the later direct warlord Wu Peifu during the Paris peace talks, he actively supported the "May Fourth" youth movement, and in one of his poems "Song of Dengpenglai Pavilion" by Man Jianghong: He was ordered to raise the brigade and recover the old mountains and rivers in the first war! Strong patriotic feelings were expressed. There are also the Northeast Frontier Army of the Republic of China sent troops to Vladivostok to protect overseas Chinese; Xu Shuzheng led his troops to recover Mongolia and a series of feats......

But one thing is certain, Duan Qirui and Wu Peifu repeatedly refused the coercion and temptation of the RB people many times, and would rather die than be traitors, showing a strong national integrity, which is enough to make Wang Jingwei, who claims to be an "orthodox revolutionary", sweat. During the entire reign of the Beiyang government, the foreign policy of the Beiyang government was also very tough, and it worked hard to safeguard the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the motherland.

Soon Jin Yuran's letter of appointment came down, and the Beiyang government appointed him as Minister Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Commercial Consul General of the Republic of China in Europe. The family went back to their hometown to visit Mrs. Tai, Dongmei saw Niuniu hugging her and didn't let go, in addition, Jin Yuran also accompanied Mrs. Qi Ruifang back to her parents' house to say goodbye, in the envy and blessing of relatives and friends, Qi Ruifang took her children to board a cruise ship to Europe with her husband, in order to facilitate work, Jin Yuran set up her home in the port city of Germany, that is, Hamburg, which is located in the center of Europe.

At this point, the history of the Jin family in BJ Laosan Hutong is over!
