Zhang Zuolin dug the pit, and when he saw that Liang Qichao didn't jump inside, he didn't persuade him again, but turned his head to Zhou Hexuan and said, "Mr. Xiao Zhou, you helped the sixth son quit smoking, I want to thank you for this." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info come, Uncle will also toast you. ”

"Don't dare to be!" Zhou Hexuan hurriedly held the cup with both hands.

Zhang Zuolin drank wine and said: "I don't understand the affairs of your scholars. If you have more knowledge, you should serve the country with peace of mind, and don't make a rebellion all day long, don't you say? ”

Zhou Hexuan said with a smile: "You should sincerely serve the country." ”

Zhang Zuolin suddenly changed the topic: "Mr. Xiao Zhou, I know the "Rise of a Great Power" you wrote. In particular, the "Japan Chapter" and the "Russia Chapter" are well written, these two doggy countries are thinking about taking advantage of China all day long. You said that sooner or later there will be a war between China and Japan, and I very much agree. ”

"It's just a few superficial personal opinions." Zhou Hexuan said.

"Seeing a fart, the most annoying thing for you scholars to talk about vain heads," Zhang Zuolin sneered, "I have dealt with the Japanese for 30 years, and I know very well what they are thinking." ”

As a matter of fact, the contradictions between Zhang Zuolin and the Japanese have intensified to the extreme, and the core is the issue of "Manchurian and Mongolian" interests.

From the Meiji period onwards, "Manchuria" was the strategic goal of Japan's mainland policy. Taking the right to build railways as a breakthrough, the Japanese gradually stepped up their expansion into "Manchuria" through force and diplomacy.

For the sake of his own interests, Zhang Zuolin resolutely established the "Northeast Transportation Committee" two years ago, regardless of Japan's opposition, and began to prepare for the construction of the Northeast Railway Network on his own. Once this railway network is built, it will be able to strengthen Zhang Zuolin's control over the Manchurian and Mongolian regions, and he will not only be able to obtain huge economic gains, but also use the railway to transport troops and grain.

This move seriously endangered the interests of the Japanese in Northeast China, and if there was no other more suitable candidate, Japan would have kicked Zhang Zuolin out long ago. When Guo Songling rebelled last year, as long as Guo Songling was willing to cooperate with the Japanese, Zhang Zuolin would have been finished long ago.

It is a pity that Guo Songling is full of patriotic thoughts and categorically refuses to betray China's interests. And Zhang Zuolin bowed his head and signed a traitorous contract with Japan, which was helped by Japan and finally solved Guo Songling.

However, Zhang Zuolin was a bandit, he was used to eating black, and he turned his head and refused to admit it, making the Japanese so angry that he vomited blood.

In the past, Japan wanted to gradually control "Manchuria" and Mongolia through the threat of force and diplomatic intimidation, so as to achieve its goal without bloodshed. However, after being teased by Zhang Zuolin five times, he has now begun to change his thinking, and as soon as Tanaka Yoshiyoshi comes to power next year, Japan will begin to plan a military invasion of the Northeast.

After scolding the Japanese, Zhang Zuolin began to drink again. Even Zhu Xiang, an inconspicuous little person, was toasted by Zhang Zuolin, which made Zhu Xiang feel bright.

Zhou Hexuan suddenly thought of the matter of Peking University, and said tentatively: "Yu Shuai, I have a few friends at Peking University, and they say that the Ministry of Education has always refused to release funds?" ”

Zhang Zuolin's face instantly became gloomy: "Peking University is a nest of chaotic parties, I don't think there is any need to run such a school." ”

Liang Qichao blinked again and again, and advised Zhou Hexuan not to mention this stubble again, so as not to provoke Zhang Zuolin to lose his temper.

Zhou Hexuan smiled and said: "Yu Shuai, public opinion is very important, don't waste food because of choking." Although there are many chaotic parties in Peking University, but Yu Shuai is doing this, ordinary teachers and students will not be hostile to the chaotic party, but will hate Yu Shuai. ”

Zhang Zuolin laughed and said: "Mom, there are many people who hate me in the world, and there is no shortage of them." ”

Zhou Hexuan was speechless for an instant.

Liang Qichao saw that the topic had already been discussed, and he also took the opportunity to suggest: "Yushuai, the mess in Peking University is really not good-looking there, and it will be solved after all." ”

When it comes to Zhang Zuolin's heart, he is no longer afraid of being scolded, but he always has to take care of his face. Historically, he only solved the Peking University problem next year, and the way was crude and direct, that is, to cancel the name of Peking University and merge Peking University and several other schools into a new university.

Zhang Zuolin asked: "What do you think my brother should do?" ”

Liang Qichao said: "It's better to take advantage of the situation. Change someone who is trusted by Yu Shuai and recognized by the teachers and students of the school to be the principal, so as to prevent the emergence of a revolutionary party in Peking University. ”

Zhang Zuolin glanced at Liang Qichao, his eyes flashed with cunning brilliance, and said with a smile: "I trust my brother, it's better for my brother to go to Peking University to be the principal." ”

Liang Qichao waved his hand again and again: "I can't, I have a holiday with some people at Peking University, and they won't accept me." ”

Zhang Zuolin said arrogantly: "Whoever dares to object, Lao Tzu will arrest him." Mom, there is no king law yet. ”

Liang Qichao is also an old fox, and suddenly pointed at Zhou Hexuan and smiled: "I think Mingcheng is good." ”

"No, no, no, I don't have enough prestige. is less than 30 years old, and it seems too young to be a professor at Peking University, where can I be a president! Zhou Hexuan hurriedly excused himself, he didn't want to wade into that troubled water.

Zhang Zuolin clapped his hand and said, "Okay, it's decided." Mr. Xiao Zhou went to be the principal, I can trust it. ”

"Yu Shuai, you better choose another high-level talent, I really can't do it." Zhou Hexuan regretted it, he shouldn't have mentioned the matter of Peking University, it was purely a burning.

Once Zhou Hexuan went to Peking University to be the president, he was too strict, which undermined the school spirit of "freedom of thought and inclusiveness" of Peking University. And if the management is too loose, it will definitely anger Zhang Zuolin again, which is simply unflattering.

This kind of, Zhou Hexuan won't care.

Zhang Zuolin said with a smile: "Don't refuse, I'll say hello to the Ministry of Education when I turn around." Come on, come on, drink! Mr. Xiao Zhou, I will hand over Peking University to you, and you must take care of it for me. ”

"Yushuai, I really can't." Zhou Hexuan's face turned green.

Zhang Zuolin ignored his excuses, laughed and continued to drink.

Zhou Hexuan wanted to die, and seeing that the matter was already settled, he could only say: "Yu Shuai, it's okay to let me be the president of Peking University, but you have to agree to my two requests." ”

"Say." Zhang Zuolin said.

"First, the Ministry of Education's payments must be disbursed on time and must not be in arrears." Zhou Hexuan said.

Zhang Zuolin smiled: "Yes." ”

Zhou Hexuan added: "Second, students may participate in some activities, or even demonstrations. I can't stop this, and I can't stop it. I can only guarantee that Peking University will not openly shout the slogans of the revolutionary party. ”

"Well...... this one" Zhang Zuolin hesitated.

Zhou Hexuan took the opportunity to say: "If Yu Shuai can't agree to the second point, then I can't do it." ”

"Okay, I'll promise you!" Zhang Zuolin patted the table and said. He was already tired of the affairs of Peking University, and the cabinet and the Ministry of Education had someone to react every once in a while, and it would have to be resolved sooner or later.

Leaving Zhang Zuolin's official residence, Zhou Hexuan sighed, like a dead father, and complained: "Mr. Ren Gong, you have made me miserable!" ”

"Hahahaha," Liang Qichao gloated, "Mingcheng, you can do it, I'm optimistic about you." ”

Although Zhou Hexuan said so, he was actually willing to do it in his heart, otherwise he insisted on not doing it, and Zhang Zuolin would never be able to force him to be the principal with a gun.

It is a great thing to help Peking University resume classes early. As for causing trouble in the future, it's a big deal that Zhou Hexuan will take the blame and resign.
