Chapter 65: The Second Great Smoke War (3)

Yin Xiaofeng was quite happy when he got married, and it was certainly a joy in life for many years to realize his wish at this time, but it was even happier to really take the ship of recovering the Governor's Mansion.

At the same time that these things began to be handled, the Yue family, who did not know about these things, sent Yue Lianyi to Jiangmen. Yin Xiaofeng held a wedding wine in a beautiful manner, and when the bride appeared in the hall with a hijab, Yin Xiaofeng stepped forward generously and took off the bride's hijab. This move surprised everyone who came to the wedding reception. According to tradition, when worshipping heaven and earth, the hijab cannot be removed, and only after entering the cave house can the husband pick up the red hijab, and the husband and wife officially meet.

When Yin Xiaofeng unveiled his hijab in public, everyone was dumbfounded. Under the hijab, Yin Xiaofeng's wife Yue Lianyi brought beaded flowers and dressed up extremely beautifully. Originally, under such costumes, girls would look more mature. It's just that Yue Lianyi has a beautiful baby face, and under this costume, he looks even more immature.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Yin Xiaofeng walked up to everyone with a rather polite smile and said loudly: "Everyone, I have already followed the Governor's Mansion, and I will be the one who will restore the Governor's Mansion in the future!" ”

When he said this claim, Yin Xiaofeng's voice was very loud, and everyone could hear it clearly. Although Yin Xiaofeng's relatives and friends heard about this for the first time, they knew that the Governor's Mansion was now strong, and everyone was happy that Yin Xiaofeng could take this boat.

But people from other chambers of commerce and militia groups were shocked when they heard the news. Although everyone has no plans to play with the Governor's Mansion for the time being, the Governor's Mansion is also half a hostile force in the eyes of everyone. Yin Xiaofeng, who knew the roots, suddenly jumped to the side of the Guangfu Governor's Mansion, and the leaders of the merchant group and the militia couldn't help but feel that they should have done it earlier. And some think that Yin Xiaofeng is a "traitor".

Yue Shousong, who was completely hostile to the Governor's Mansion in the Restoration of the Governor's Office, was the most stimulated, he thought that Yin Xiaofeng would be the help of his Yue family, but he didn't expect Yin Xiaofeng to take refuge in "outsiders". His eyes widened angrily, glaring at Yin Xiaofeng, but he didn't know what to do. After all, the wedding scene is Yin Xiaofeng's home field, what can he do even if he is his mother's family. Even if there was a big fuss at this time, Yue Shousong only brought a few of his subordinates, and the number of people who could fight on Yin Xiaofeng's side was dozens. Conflict is not an advantage. Not to mention that if he tore his face at this time, Yin Xiaofeng would logically cut off contact with the Yue family.

However, thinking of Yin Xiaofeng's cunning, he first earned a daughter-in-law for nothing, and then ate a bowl of noodles and turned the bottom of the bowl to take refuge in the Governor's Mansion. Yue Shou was angry, he stood up quickly, ready to ignore anything else, and first clean up Yin Xiaofeng.

At this moment, Yin Xiaofeng said loudly: "Please invite the director of the Jiangmen Civil Affairs Bureau!" ”

Hearing this, Yue Shousong's heart was shocked, he didn't expect that Yin Xiaofeng not only defected to the Governor's Mansion, but even invited the officials of the Governor's Mansion. As he spoke, Yue Shousong saw more than a dozen heavily armed soldiers coming out of the inner courtyard first, they stood in two columns, and a person wearing a costume quite similar to the upper and lower short military uniforms Shi Shiran walked out. He is not very old, and the original bun on his head has been reduced, leaving less than half an inch short, although it looks refreshing, it is very weird.

With a smile on his face, this person said aloud to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, below is Wu Qilu, director of the Jiangmen Civil Affairs Bureau of the Governor's Mansion, who came here this time to attend the wedding of Mr. Yin Xiaofeng and Ms. Yue Lianyi, but not to eat and drink, but for official business. ”

For business? This frightened some of the attendees. According to the experience of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the official affairs of the government were nothing more than asking for money and life. Since the Governor's Mansion arrived in Jiangmen, he has basically done these two things. Seeing the dozen or so soldiers with loaded guns again, many people couldn't help but feel furious in their hearts. The stronger the hostile stance with the Governor's Office, the stronger the uneasiness in my heart.

No matter what the people below thought, Wu Qilu still said with a smile: "The new government has a new system, and our restoration of the Governor's Mansion is the government of the Chinese, so we have the obligation to protect the people of the country." It is necessary to protect not only men, but also women. Therefore, we have the Marriage Law to protect this major marriage matter. The outline of the "Marriage Law" has been posted a few days ago, I don't know if you have seen it. However, if the state wants to protect people's marriage, it must first go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register the marriage. This time, Mr. Yin Xiaofeng has gone to the Civil Affairs Bureau to apply for marriage, and since he is the first to come to register his marriage, then we have to treat it differently. So this is to go through their marriage formalities in person! ”

After speaking, Wu Qilu first found a table and sat down, and called Yin Xiaofeng and Yue Lianyi to the front. Wu Qilu first asked the names, ages, genders, and places of birth of the two people, wrote them down on the text, and asked the two to confirm, and then asked the two to sign and draw them, and went through a series of processes to get a copy of the household. Then, according to the household kou, the names of the two were filled in on the marriage certificate and the chapter was changed.

Everyone had never seen how the Guangfu Governor's Mansion worked, and they didn't expect the government to work so openly. It's even more fun to watch than a hole in a room. Moreover, the process of recovering the Governor's Mansion is actually very simple, which is a common procedure for registering and making records. Quite a few people also understood. After this work, Wu Qilu finally stood up and handed over the two completed marriage certificates to Yin Xiaofeng and Yue Lianyi. In the end, Wu Qilu also took out a booklet and handed it to Yue Lianyi. "Ms. Yue, since you have come to us to register your marriage, your marriage is protected by our Marriage Law. If Yin Xiaofeng dares to bully you, if what he does violates the provisions of the Marriage Law, you can go to our Civil Affairs Bureau to find relevant staff, and we will protect your personal rights and interests from infringement in accordance with the law. ”

These words are high-sounding, but those who listen to them are confused. Everyone knows that the government can manage the people, but they have never heard that the government will support the people, let alone support women. Many people even doubted the origin of the Yue family where Yue Lianyi was born, and they could let the government support Yue Lianyi. Could it be that the Yue family is a relative of the emperor? Many of the eyes that looked at Yue Shousong were shocked.

Yue Shousong didn't understand what the Governor's Mansion was doing, and he even publicly said that he wanted to support Yue Lianyi. Such a strange thing made Yue Shousong feel uneasy, but he also knew one thing, he couldn't do anything to Yin Xiaofeng today no matter what. Not to mention anything else, just following the more than a dozen soldiers of Wu Qilu, the director of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Yue Shousong can't please him.

Regardless of the mentality of the participants, the wedding was still a lively and joyful one, and the participants had enough to go out and brag about.

Of course, Yin Xiaofeng didn't just talk about it, the day after he got married, he went to see Wu Qilu again. Wu Qilu, the person in charge of the Guangfu Governor's Mansion in Jiangmen, clearly informed Yin Xiaofeng that the Guangfu Governor's Mansion did not want to see military forces outside the Guangfu Governor's Mansion in Guangdong, and Yin Xiaofeng immediately announced that he was willing to disband his own militia group, but Yin Xiaofeng seriously asked the Guangfu Governor's Mansion to give these brothers a bite to eat.

Wu Qilu is not a mean person, he said that the Guangfu Governor's Office is currently building a "police" system, and if those militia members are from a clean background and are willing to participate in the Guangfu Governor's land granting order, the Guangfu Governor's Office can consider recruiting them as members of the police system.

It is indeed very different whether there is a landlord snake to cooperate or not, Yin Xiaofeng tried his best to convince the members of his militia group, and the members of this gang were not from rich peasants. In addition, Yin Xiaofeng himself took out his own land and joined the land grant order system, and the members of the militia group obediently chose to join the system of the Guangfu Governor's Mansion.

It didn't take long for Yin Xiaofeng to officially join the Jiangmen Propaganda Department, and began to contact the local overseas Chinese in Jiangmen, and began to promote the new government of the "modern nation-state" at the local level. This errand has not been done for a few days, and Yin Xiaofeng received an order on December 2 that he should stay at home and not come out.

After Yue Shousong participated in Yin Xiaofeng's wedding, he began to feel extremely uneasy in his heart. The style of the Governor's Mansion was so strange that he sent someone to find the outline of the "Marriage Law" to read, but after reading it, he was furious. The outline of the "Marriage Law" of the Governor's Office is very simple, and compared with the marriage law of the 21st century, both the provisions and the content are very imperfect. It's just that both have a common core. The husband and wife do not have any personal dependence, and both parties choose to marry based on their own wishes. As long as the Governor's Office applies for marriage registration and meets the requirements of the Governor's Office, the Governor's Office will announce that the marriage between the two parties will be recognized and the responsibility to protect the marriage will be assumed.

In particular, in terms of property, the Marriage Law has provisions such as prenuptial notarization and income of husband and wife after seven years. Different from the traditional concept of marriage, the marriage law of the Governor's Republic of China was established based on the concept that both husband and wife should have personal independence.

Yue Shousong is a very strong person who is very controlling, and he is particularly opposed to the concepts of personal freedom and other concepts put forward in the marriage law. In particular, the Marriage Law openly opposes arranged marriages, and even more opposes forced marriage against the will of the parties. This concept of "lawlessness" made Yue Shousong grit his teeth and scold. Yue Shousong even suspected that this marriage law was specially written to deal with the Yue family.

But at this time, he had no other way but to scold, according to the agreement, the Yue family would wait for the British to capture the city of Guangzhou and start the incident after the recovery army was heavily damaged. What Yue Shousong needs to do is to quickly contact those militia groups and tobacco merchants who may be willing to join forces in the uprising, and wait for the Guangfu Army to suffer heavy losses. And when he returned to Foshan, Yue Shousong's elder brother Yue Shoushan made it clear that he would wait until the troops of the Guangfu Army were hastily transferred out of Jiangmen. The Yue family can't give the British their lives in vain. In addition to contacting others, Yue Shousong was still waiting according to the original plan.

On December 2, Wu Qilu changed into a military uniform. At this time, the news of the war had officially reached Jiangmen, and the troops of a regiment in Jiangmen had long been in a state of imminent battle, and now they could be put into battle at any time.

"Did you catch a new courier?" Wu Qilu asked the commander of the unit.

"After the last time we caught the British's messenger, we closely monitored them according to the list provided by that guy, and there is no new situation so far." The commander replied earnestly.

"Is there any change in their famous group?" Wu Qilu actually pays attention to it every day, but at this time, he can't help but ask again.

The intelligence staff officer replied, "There is no change yet. ”

Wu Qilu nodded, "Very good, I'll send someone to invite them over now." If they come, it means they don't know the news yet. All we have to do is send a small number of troops to surround them. If they don't come, no matter what they know about the situation, they will give priority to annihilating their armed forces! This time, we must deal with the reactionaries in Jiangmen cleanly and thoroughly! ”

"Yes!" The unit commanders replied at the same time. Everyone has been preparing for this day for a long time. Now, the war has finally begun!
