When the train enters Shandong from Jiangsu, it is like a different world.

Along the railway, Jiangsu is full of green rice fields and golden wheat, while Shandong is a barren scene. Occasionally, you can see some poor and emaciated farmers, harvesting wheat under the scorching sun, but they do not see the joy of harvest at all.

Years of war and natural disasters have made Shandong a hell on earth. The non-governmental boxing associations headed by the Red Gun Society and the cult organizations headed by the Consistent (Harmonious) Dao control the large and small villages and towns in Shandong, and even the warlords need to rely on their strength.

Zhou Hexuan looked at the peasants who survived the catastrophe, and couldn't help but say to himself: "Shandong is going to suffer another disaster, I don't know if these people can survive." ”

"What calamity is there in Shandong?" Zhang Leyi couldn't help but ask.

"Of course it's a natural disaster." Zhou Hexuan said helplessly.

The famous summer floods of 1931 affected more than 10 provinces and affected tens of millions of people. Among them, the Yangtze River and Huai River basins are the most serious, with 140,000 deaths, and countless deaths that are difficult to count.

Last year, due to the impact of the Great War in the Central Plains, the grain harvest failed throughout the country, and the people were miserable. This year finally ushered in a bumper grain harvest, but as a result, it was hit by a nationwide flood, and God simply did not leave people a way to live.

The outbreak of the "change of president turmoil" at Chuo University was caused after the flood. Because the main source of education funding for the Central University comes from the Jiangsu finance, and Jiangsu has become a flood-stricken area, it can only embezzle the education funds to provide disaster relief, resulting in the Central University having no rice to cook, and almost to the point of suspending classes.

The impending flood is not only a natural disaster, but also a man-made disaster. Not to mention the famine brought about by the Great War in the Central Plains, and since the Beiyang period, local governments have not built and maintained water conservancy facilities at all, and as a result, when the flood came, those old water conservancy facilities were not used.

After the great floods, the whole country was full of complaints, and the people were struggling to make a living. The Nationalist government in Nanjing had to raise funds and in the following year or two, in the following years, it ordered governments at all levels to build a large number of water conservancy projects.

This is the only time in the decades of KMT rule that it has borrowed foreign debt to vigorously develop water conservancy projects. It is not that the central government is diligent in its administration and loves the people, but that the major floods have shaken the country's foundation, and if it is not remedied, there will be absolutely thieves and frequent uprisings.

Zhou Hexuan thought about the imminent national flood and the upcoming September 18 incident, and suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness. All he can do is wave the flag, motivate people, and donate money to provide some financial support.

The train finally drove out of the ghostly Shandong, Zhou Hexuan's mood instantly brightened up, he hugged his son and teased: "Wei Lie, count it to Dad." ”

Little Verlie looked at his father in a daze, like a mentally retarded fool.

Zhang Leyi gave her son a funny start: "1, 2, 3......"

“4、5、6、7、8、9、10。” Xiao Weilie counted down, and when he counted to 10, he had already reached the limit. This performance is enough to be called a prodigy, a child who is 1 year and 1 month old can count to 10.

Of course, little Veret didn't know the point of counting. Throwing three pieces of candy in front of him, the kid would only stuff it into his mouth and eat it, and he couldn't tell the number of candy was three.

Seeing his son's smart and stupid appearance, Zhou Hexuan suddenly laughed. The hope of China's future lies in the younger generation, and all Zhou Hexuan can do is to fulfill everyone's responsibilities.

When Zhou Hexuan first crossed over, he was very afraid of death, and he was very afraid of the cannibalistic society of the Republic of China. But now that he has seen a lot of various situations, he seems to have become less life-sparing, if Zhou Hexuan really needs to die for the country one day, he will most likely rush forward.

However, unless it is absolutely necessary, Zhou Hexuan will still choose to live, he still has a wife and children at home.

Back at Tianjin Sanle Hall, Zhou Hexuan continued to live a chic life. On weekdays, he teased his son and daughter at home, practiced calligraphy with Cui Huifu, occasionally accompanied his wife out shopping, and then went to Peking to give lectures to Tsinghua students, or was invited by the Institute of History of the Beijing Research Institute to guide academics, and lived a leisurely and happy life.

Compared with Zhou Hexuan's happy life, Zhang Xueliang is anxious.

Since the beginning of the spring of this year, Japan has successively staged the Wanbaoshan Incident and the Nakamura Incident in northeastern China, and recently it has openly conducted military exercises on the streets of Shenyang. This series of shameless acts aroused the righteous indignation of the people in Northeast China, and they launched a vigorous anti-Japanese campaign, which soon spread throughout the country.

For Chinese businessmen, they were happy to see it, and Japanese goods were boycotted again due to anti-Japanese activities, and domestic products took the opportunity to occupy the market in the name of patriotism.

Zhang Xueliang and Chang Kaishen did not see it that way, they were afraid that the anti-Japanese activities would provoke Japan and trigger an armed invasion by the Japanese Kwantung Army.

Chang Kaishen sent a telegram to Zhang Xueliang, saying: "If there is a nationwide anti-Japanese activity, I am afraid that it will be used by the Red Party...... Therefore, the government and the people must work together to curb the anti-Japanese movement. He also issued a "Letter to the People", saying: "The anti-Japanese movement has poisoned the country and damaged it. ”

After that, Lao Chiang severely banned anti-Japanese activities in Nanjing and other places, hoping to ease the conflict with the Japanese.

Although Zhang Xueliang's approach is more gentle, his way of thinking is the same as Chang Kaishen's, that is, he must not provoke the Japanese.

Zhang Xueliang and Lao Jiang are not fools, little Japan has frequently stirred up trouble in the Northeast this year, just to get an excuse for armed invasion, all they can do is to endure, endure, and tolerate.

There is no way, the situation in China is too complicated, and neither of them is ready to face it.

Lao Jiang wrote in his diary at the beginning of this year: "Guangxi's Gui Rebellion, Jiangxi's Red Bandits, Shanxi's Judgment Department, Shandong's Feng Department, and Sichuan's Inferior Army must all be properly disposed of, so as not to affect the whole body." If the imitation Lu army (Sun Lianzhongbu) can follow the order and drive to Jiangxi, then the red bandits and Feng Bu have a way. As for Gui Yi, he only asked him to dissolve Zhang Fakui's department, and Li and Bai Xun could leave Gui immediately. Shanxi is anxious for Sichuan, and it should also be done quickly. ”

It can be seen from the diary that Lao Jiang wanted to leave Feng Yuxiang's old army and go to Shanxi, and lose both with our party's army. The Gui side is mainly pacified, and Sichuan can be left alone for the time being, and his top priority is to annex and digest Yan Xishan's old ministry and territory.

Lao Jiang had a good calculation, but unfortunately there was a sudden accident, and a national government was created in Guangdong, which instantly put him in a dilemma.

In the second month after Zhou Hexuan returned to Tianjin, Shi Yousan, who was stationed in Henan, suddenly rebelled and raised troops to support the Nationalist Government in Guangzhou.

The main reason for Shi Yousan's rebellion was that he was dissatisfied with the status quo, he felt that he had been connected to Zhang Xueliang very early, but he did not reap much benefit. Why can Han Fuqu be the chairman of Shandong Province, and his own troops are not under Han Fuqu, and the system is more complete, but he can only be stationed in Shunde, where birds don't?

So Shi Yousan rebelled in Henan, he had infantry, cavalry, artillery, engineers, and tank troops, a total of more than 60,000 troops, and his combat effectiveness was quite strong, and he had defeated the Central Army many times in the Central Plains War.

Shi Yousan's goal is to get rid of Zhang Xueliang and become the soil emperor in North China himself!

At the same time, Guangzhou is also actively cooperating, and the troops are dispatched to compete with Chang Kaishen.

In this case, how dare Chang Kaishen and Zhang Xueliang provoke the Japanese? The more than 100,000 elites of the Northeast Army did not dare to move at all if they stayed in North China, and they had to exterminate Shi Yousan first.

Not only that, Zhang Xueliang's cousin and Xiao Zhang Xuecheng is now under Shi Yousan. Zhang Xuecheng jumped up and down, and everywhere he urged local warlords to unite against his cousin Zhang Xueliang, not only lobbied Sun Dianying and others, but also took the initiative to contact the Japanese to get support.

The Japanese, Shi Yousan, and the Nationalist Government of Guangzhou, these three parties are in collusion with each other.

Even Yan Xishan, who fled to Dalian, was ready to return to Shanxi to regain power. Yan Xishan has already received definite news, and even knows when the Japanese will make a move in the Northeast, and he just wants to take advantage of the September 18 incident to make a comeback!

The forces of all parties are ready to move, and Chang Kaishen and Zhang Xueliang, the two most beautiful figures in China, are now in a bad situation of internal and external troubles.

So Zhang Xueliang fell ill, handed over the military to the chief of staff Ji Yiqiao, and stayed in the hospital to escape and began to recuperate.

Ji Yiqiao is still very capable, and he is fully responsible for the adaptation of Yan Xishan's old department. This crusade against Shi Yousan was also done by him, and the war was fought vigorously, and it was only a matter of time before Shi Yousan's rebellion was resolved.

Shi Yousan is easy to solve, but the real bane is Yan Xishan.

Yan Laoxi would choose to return to Shanxi one month before the September 18 Incident, disrupt Zhang Xueliang and Chang Kaishen's plans to annex and digest North China and Northwest China, and contain the elite of the Northeast Army in North China and unable to move.

Yan Xishan's education and industry have contributed to the country, but in the Central Plains War and the September 18 Incident, he completely misled the country. Perhaps in the heart of Yan Xishan, who is good at calculation, state affairs are just a business.
