Chapter Seventy-Three: Chinese New Year (2)

Hu Wenkai got out of the car, knelt down and kowtowed loudly: "Student Hu Wenkai has given the teacher a New Year's greeting." ”

Liang Qichao scolded with a smile: "Hu Wenkai, if you don't learn well, I won't have you as a disciple if you don't learn to learn this feudal way, hurry up, do you want me to help you." ”

Hu Wenkai jumped up with a smile: "Oh, the teacher asked me to reminisce about the past, and besides, Carotta has not seen the etiquette of teachers and students before, I will demonstrate it to her." ”

Liang Qichao raised his slap and slapped him: "Don't be embarrassed for me in front of the door, take your daughter-in-law in." ”

Hu Wenkai's New Year's gifts are ten boxes of Cuban cigars, twenty bottles of Moutai, a picture of Tang Bohu's lady who came from Taihu Lake to rob his family, and I don't know whether it's true or not, two big yellow croaker. This teacher is cultivated from heaven, how can there be disrespectful truth.

Liang Qichao also worked hard to entertain his closed disciples, and several famous people who temporarily lived in Shanghai were invited to accompany him. When a group of people chatted and drank tea in the guest hall, Hu Wenkai walked in with Carrota, and as soon as he entered the room, Hu Wenkai pulled Carrota to kneel and said: "Student Hu Wenkai gave the teacher a New Year's greeting, wishing the teacher a happy and auspicious New Year." ”

"Hurry up, hurry up, Hu Wenkai, what are you not good at learning, but you have to learn this kind of feudal etiquette, even if you kneel yourself, you will also kneel with your daughter-in-law." Liang Qichao smiled happily and hurriedly pulled Hu Wenkai up.

Hu Wenkai said dissatisfiedly: "Teacher, this is not the New Year, you just let me finish the kowtow ceremony." ”

Liang Qichao's hand slapped him the back: "Hurry up and take your daughter-in-law to sit down and drink tea, I don't like this rule." ”

handed the gift to Liang Qichao, the teacher knew that his family was big and did not shirk and laughed directly, but the picture of Tang Bohu's lady aroused Liang Qichao's curiosity. Hu Wenkai couldn't say why, but he just relied on Liang Qichao's ears to explain that it was obtained by raiding his house during the suppression of bandits in Taihu Lake last year, and he didn't know the authenticity.

Liang Qichao carefully unfolded the picture of the lady on the table of the Eight Immortals, and beckoned a few people who were drinking tea to come and observe.

"Tiger Zen Master, do you think this is the real thing?" Liang Qichao consulted a man who was almost 50 years old in a suit.

This person carefully observed for a long time and said: "Ren Gong, this lady has a picture of a lady with a jujube and a high bun, her right hand is holding a fan and drooping, and her left hand is holding a flower, her body is plump, her demeanor is serene, and her head is outlined and evenly stained, like a young woman from a rich and noble family." The face and hands are painted in a beautiful and round manner, while the dress, shawl, and belt are painted with a fluttering square fold brush, which enhances the dynamic beauty of the young woman's gentle lotus steps. I think it's a rare book, where did this picture come from? ”

"It was obtained from a large household in Wuzhong, and it was given to me by my closed disciple Hu Wenkai for the New Year." As he spoke, he dragged Hu Wenkai to the table and introduced him.

At this time, Hu Wenkai knew that the middle-aged man in front of him was Yang Du, and later generations commented that Lu Bushan became a domestic slave, and Yang Dushan became a revolutionary, and every time he changed it was just right, so that later some people on the Internet suspected that he was a traverser.

Hu Wenkai saluted him very respectfully, at this time, Yang Du no longer had the arrogance of the early days, but he was very surprised that Liang Qichao actually accepted such a closed disciple.

Liang Qichao motioned for Hu Wenkai to open the cigar case and smoke it, and Yang Du smoked a cigar and joked that Liang Qichao had transformed into a representative of hedonism. A fine Cuban cigar is worth a month's worth of food and clothing for a family.

Liang Qichao sat comfortably on the sofa and crossed Erlang's legs, holding a cigar in his right hand and said: "Tiger Zen Master, you don't understand, only when people are rich can they think about the problem comprehensively, and a person who can't be satisfied with warmth will come up with extreme views." Although I am Wen Kai's teacher, this point of view was brought to me by Wen Kai. ”

Yang Du smiled and used scissors to cut open the cigar cigarette and light it, took a puff unhurriedly and said, "Ren Gong, I haven't asked you what kind of work the closed disciple is engaged in." ”

Hu Wenkai took the initiative to introduce himself: "Mr. Yang, one of the companies I am engaged in trading is Xingye Industrial. ”

Yang Du straightened up and said in surprise: "You are the Hu Wenkai mentioned by Mr. Zhongshan?" Hu Wenkai entertaining Mr. Zhongshan at the Fenyang villa. Too young, I always thought you were at least in your forties. ”

Hu Wenkai smiled faintly, he didn't have any thoughts about Yang Du, it was impossible for this kind of deep-rooted veteran politician to think that he could praise or contribute, and besides, he should follow Sun Dacang's instructions to find Cao Kun and pass through Shanghai.

Liang Qichao doesn't think so, he and Yang Du are friends. Immediately asked Hu Wenkai to arrange for Yang Du to live in Hangzhou Fenyang Villa for a few days, and invited Yang Du to visit Far Eastern University after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Fan Yuanlian said that he was preparing to go to Fenyang Villa after the third year of junior high school, and he had already arranged a car, and Yang Du and they would go to Hangzhou to stay for a few days at that time. Yang Du nodded and thanked Liang Qichao for his hospitality, and several people chatted about the situation in Guangdong.

According to Yang Du, the Guangdong revolution became a common practice, and Sun Yat-sen became a very large president, and the Soviet Union and Russia provided economic and military assistance, but Sun Dacang only had the support of public opinion and the love of young students for the time being, and militarily he was always trapped by the Cantonese warlords. After a while, he said that only Mr. Zhongshan can save China, and only he can build a modern bourgeois state.

Hu Wenkai listened quietly, Sun Cannon's theory was quite confusing to people in this time and space. It is undeniable that its political ideas are very operational, but the result is a kind of violent destruction of today's very democratic system, although this system is weak and powerless, but it is not caused by this system, but the society is in a period of change, this result is caused, given the time of ten or twenty years of continuous social progress and improvement, it is very likely that China will regain its foothold among the great powers.

Liang Qichao shook his head and said that he did not agree, his view is the same as that of Hu Wenkai, and now that China has experienced the First Sino-Japanese War, the Xinhai Revolution, and the Dharma Protection Movement, it can no longer withstand the violent revolution advocated by Sun Yat-sen. His view is to optimize and improve the development of industry under the existing system and improve the exercise of administrative power.

There were endless arguments in the guest hall, and Hu Wenkai was too lazy to participate in the debate without saying a word. Yang Du stood up and said that if there was such a place on the land of China, he Yang Du would abandon everything and dedicate the rest of his life to it. Fan Yuanlian smiled angrily and pointed at Yang Du: "Master Tiger Zen, this is what you said, I won't argue with you on the first day of the Lunar New Year today, and I will talk about it after you go to Far Eastern University with me on the fifteenth day." ”

Hu Wenkai was in charge of pouring wine at the table at noon, and Liang Qichao habitually turned on the radio, which was broadcasting the news of celebrating the Spring Festival in southern Jiangsu, northern Jiangsu and Shanghai. Yang Du was stunned at the banquet table and asked what was going on, and Fan Yuanlian smiled and explained that this was a radio station set up in Haimen.

Liang Qichao jokingly said that Guangdong is engaged in revolution and Shanghai is engaged in construction, and everyone here feels that time and money are not enough, and the slogan here is that time is money and efficiency is life. Everyone at the table laughed, and Yang Du was a little annoyed and angry, saying that he must take a look at it on the spot.

After lunch, Hu Wenkai refused the teacher's retention, and sent him back to Carlotta, and after returning home, he rushed to the airport to fly to the Dragon King Temple.

The army is the core trump card in his hand, and Hu Wenkai, who came from later generations, is very clear that the purpose of going to the Yanyang military camp on the afternoon of the first day of the new year is to attract people's hearts.

When the plane landed at Longwangmiao Airport, Li Wenjun and Sun Minghui drove over. Hu Wenkai parked the plane in the hangar, cleaned it up, got into a car, and went straight to the Yanyang military camp. Sun Minghui drove Li Wenjun to report to him on the intensive training of old-style officers in the Yanyang Military Camp.

After the brigade commander and some regiment commanders returned to Qi Xieyuan at the beginning of last year's assault on Qi Xieyuan's three brigades, all the officers with a bit of ink were forcibly sent to the Yanyang military camp for training.

At first, the battalion was full of disobedience and bitterness, and under the suppression of sticks and machine guns, the training began in darkness. The breakfast of the last ten finishers of the five-kilometer trail run every morning is halved, the morning is the military posture queue training, and the afternoon is the capture of the enemy, tactics, and physical fitness. Shooting training, cultural classes and political and ideological classes in the evening, no spare time for them. The officers lay down and fell asleep, and all their salaries were paid through the bank in accordance with their ranks.

Li Wenjun reported that a few fat-headed and fat-brained officers had lost their weight, and that the special forces had carried out more than a dozen night raids on the camp at first, but they were still effective, but later they had no effect a few times; these officers could put the secret sentry at night at the corner of the barracks, and as soon as they encountered the attack on the camp, the whistle sounded, and the personnel also divided the work to block the door, those who looked at the windows, and those who came out in groups to fight the special forces.

Hu Wenkai laughed when he heard it, this was exactly the same as when he was in the military academy before. According to this situation, there is no problem with the transformation of this old-style officer.

The car drove into the barracks, and the officers and men in the barracks walked and chatted on the playground in twos and threes, and there were more than a dozen officers and men training at the truck training ground. Li Manqiang reported that in accordance with the instructions of his boss, the officers' families were allowed to visit their relatives in the barracks a year ago, and the day before yesterday they had suspended training for the Spring Festival.

The company held a special meeting for the officers of the three brigades to study that if they could not be used by the company, they would be sent back to the Beiyang government after intensive training at this stage, but they would not be returned to Qi Xieyuan.

The meeting with the officers was held in the conference room of the unit, and more than 30 officers at and above the regimental level were invited to attend. There was a pack of beautiful brand cigarettes in front of each person, but no one took it apart and smoked, with their waists straight, their hands on their laps, and the appearance of an old Chinese soldier.

Hu Wenkai walked quickly into the conference room, and Li Manqiang shouted: Stand up and salute. Hu Wenkai waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down, took out two enlarged aerial photos from his briefcase and pasted them on the blackboard behind him.

One is from Tianxing Town, and the other is from Nantong County, Hu Wenkai asked everyone to express their thoughts after watching it. It is obvious that the layout of Tianxing Town is composed of several Tianzi-shaped blocks, and the county seat of Nantong is chaotic.

After the discussion, Hu Wenkai stood up and explained that Tianxing Town was planned and designed first and then built, while Nantong was formed after the people spontaneously settled and formed the county seat. Hu Wenkai continued, and the number of people who know Chinese characters is at most 5%, and those who have their own thoughts will not exceed 1%. Sit down, unpack the cigarette in front of you, light it, and ask the guards to open the conference room window to signal everyone not to be informal.

Everyone looked at this young man who was obviously younger than themselves, and didn't know what he meant, watching him smoke a cigarette and smiling and looking around, everyone's initial restraint gradually disappeared, and they opened their cigarettes and lit them.

Hu Wenkai said softly: "Everyone, I know that you must be unconvinced at first, and you were captured by a group of unknown soldiers for some reason, but in the past two months, you should also know that you have not been unjustly defeated. ”

More than 30 people nodded incessantly, and Li Manqiang sent a bunch of pictorial posters to the officers one by one for circulation. This is a picture album of the cityscape and the equipment of the troops in Europe and the United States that the company subscribed from Europe and the United States. Looking at the picture album that subverted the vision, the officers exchanged their heads and talked enviously. Hu Wenkai drank his saliva and said that the difference between China and the Western powers is an era, and that people are in the period of capitalist expansion, and we are still living in a semi-feudal era. ”
