Chapter 238: Impersonation
In the political affairs hall, Li Chengxu has not stopped holding his pipe since he received a telegram from Shanghai.
Shanghai should have belonged to the area south of the Yangtze River, but because of the marriage of Zhongqing and Tan Rulin, their Li family pulled teeth out of the tiger's mouth and dug a prosperous international metropolis for the Zhang family from the Rong family, and the Rong family was not without complaints. He also knew that Shanghai would be a hot potato sooner or later, but he didn't expect this potato to be so hot.
The news of the deaths of Zhang Zuoling and Li Lanfeng was announced to the world with the inauguration of Zhang Jingzu, and he was not surprised that Tan Rulin would get the news. But as for Tan Rulin's desire to lead the army into Beijing, he couldn't help but think about it too much.
Tan Rulin's mind is actually very easy to guess, Li Lanfeng is dead, and the Li family's sailors and field troops need someone to come out to preside over the overall situation, and his idea is just to take advantage of entering Beijing to get a piece of the Li family.
It is precisely because of his well-known mind that Li Chengxu can't help but hate it, their Li family has not fallen to the point of relying on the support of relatives, Tan Rulin really underestimated him, and also underestimated the Li family, so he resolutely rejected Tan Rulin's request to enter Beijing, and even secretly sent the news to Zhongqing, not allowing her to enter Beijing for Li Lanfeng's funeral, and strictly ordered her to take good care of Tan Rulin, and never make a mistake at this juncture.
The Tan family is not worried, but the Rong family is not so easy to deal with.
As early as the beginning of the establishment of the new country, there seems to have been an unwritten rule between the Rong family and the Zhang family, the north and the south of the river are divided into rivers and ruled by the north of the Yangtze River, and the north of the Yangtze River is the northern military government of the Zhang family, and the south of the Yangtze River is the new southern government of the Rong family.
Now the Rong family army is carrying the slogan of "driving out the Japanese and recovering China", and it is mighty from the south that it wants to go north, but it is clear that the drunkard's intention is not to drink, and now the Zhang family army is divided internally, and the defection of the commander of Anguo is tantamount to a hammer, hitting the stormy presidential palace, where can the strength come from to confront the Rong family army with great momentum?
Li Chengxu had the intention to stop it, but he couldn't help but consider Zhang Jingzu's attitude.
Zhang Jingzu is a new official, and the three fires must be burned, if the Li family does not have his permission at this time, they rashly send troops to resist the Rong family's army, but they are afraid that they will be burned at that time.
Therefore, when he took the last puff of his cigarette, Li Chengxu called Li Da and instructed him: "Go back and order Mrs. to prepare a funeral for Lan Feng." Since the death of his eldest son, he has been dying overnight, but he has to stay in the political hall, gritting his teeth and taking care of the overall situation. At this time, he wants to return to the Li family in a bright and bright way, and this is the only opportunity at this time.
Li Da was busy listening to his words and went back to order the Yu family.
At that time, Li Lanfeng's first seven years had passed, he died for the country, and it was supposed to be a state funeral, but Li Chengxu did not agree, and the president alone had a state funeral, Li Lanfeng was just the commander-in-chief of a military region, how could He De be treated the same as the president? He couldn't fall into the hands of others, so he still arranged it according to the folk rituals and ordered the Yu family to go down.
When Li Lanfeng's body was brought back, there was no complete picture, and Yu couldn't help but cry for a few more days. Now that people have been decorated with burials, the Li family's mansion is full of vegetarian and mournful everywhere.
Man Zhi has returned to the Zhang family because of the state funeral in the presidential palace, and the rest of the Li family is his own family.
Wanchun has been on strike for three days, and now she is wearing Qi Qi with her brother and welcoming guests in the mourning hall.
Most of the officers and generals from the old Li family came today, and because of the loss of the commander-in-chief, they all had tears and grief and indignation.
Wan Chun bid farewell to the crowd after bush, and his head slammed on the ground mechanically, like a soulless marionette. Her tears were almost dry, and all she could see was her red and swollen eyes.
Ji Yuan has become the successor of the next generation of the Li family through the introduction of the Yu family, and all the officers and generals paid tribute to Li Lanfeng, and they all bowed their heads to the two Ji Yuan brothers, and said to Ji Yuan: "Third young master, don't forget what you said." ”
"The younger generation is toothless and unforgettable!" Ji Yuan bowed goodbye to his uncles, he had sworn in front of his mother and the old Li family, vowing to slaughter the Japanese who had invaded the country and avenge Li Lanfeng.
The officers and generals chatted with relief, and when they were about to go to visit Li Chengxu together, a distant visitor came outside.
After Gu Wei gave his birthday gift, this is the second time he has come to the Li family. He was familiar with the way, and walked to the mourning hall with three or five entourages, and saw Yu Shidao: "We are deeply sorry to hear that Commander Li of your mansion sacrificed his life for the country, so we came to bid farewell to Commander Li to show our respect for the new government." He ordered a funeral and a wreath to be served.
The Yu family is now in addition to Japan, and the most unheard of is the word Rong family, and when he heard the words, he said: "Thank you for your kindness, but our Li family has never had a friendship with your Rong family, and this memorial ceremony, please take it back." ”
Gu Wei was not reluctant, not to mention that he didn't come to give a memorial gift, so he immediately ordered someone to carry the wreath outside, and said to Yu: "Madam, please borrow a step to speak." ”
Yu Shi looked at him, and Li Da was about to step forward when he saw this, but let her wave her hand and retreat, so she had to stand in place and watch Yu Shi and Gu Wei go to the reception room on the side.
For a while, only the three entourages brought by Gu Wei looked at Li Da.
Li Da secretly glanced at the three entourages, and saw that they were all eight men, high-spirited and handsome, and sighed secretly in his heart, strange people all said that the Rong family was all Zhilan Yushu, and now just looking at these entourages, you can get a glimpse of their appearance.
He didn't know where these three people were ordinary "entourage", it was Rong Shaotang and his guard officers who came pretending.
Rong Shaotang has always had a strange plan in the military art of war, originally he led the troops alone this time, but it was also because Rong Guojun deliberately wanted to train him, saying that it was to cross the Yangtze River to the north, but it was just a cover for the Rong family, so as to test the attitude and strength of the old Beijing. But there was only one Rong Shaotang to lead the troops, and Rong Guojun couldn't help but feel at ease, so he sent his secretary general Gu Wei to him, so that he could be a staff officer if necessary.
When the Rong family's army marched to the river defense line, the spies of the old capital had already made it clear that the Li family's sailors began to assemble in Tianjin Port. The strength of the Li family's water division can be said to be the first in East Asia, even the Rong family did not dare to confront them at this time, so Rong Shaotang and others had to be stationed on the Jiang defense line.
Hearing that the Li family was going to mourn Li Lanfeng, Rong Shaotang immediately had a flash of inspiration, and he wanted to order someone to send a memorial gift to the Li family, taking this opportunity to find out who the Li family is now commanding the army.
At this time, Gu Wei led the Yu family away, and Li Da couldn't make any trouble when he saw that the three melons and two dates were drying, so he went to work himself. (To be continued.) )
