Chapter 158: The whole country rejoices

The cold wind is raging, and the streets and alleys of the capital seem to be suffering, but the cold cannot stop the heat of the capital from continuing to rise. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 A student procession appeared on Info Street; The momentum was huge and deafening, and the capital was boiling.

Although the government has adopted various means to implement news control, the good news from Shandong cannot be stopped. After Shandong's counterattack victory, Shandong media began to report in succession, accompanied by photos as evidence. After the reporters in Beijing obtained first-hand information in Jinan, they quickly reprinted it in major newspapers in Beijing. Such a happy news first stimulated the strong patriotic enthusiasm of the students of the major colleges and universities in Beijing.

"Support Shandong, fight the invaders!" "Get out of China!" Slogans came and went. Many members of the public were excited and joined the procession. The police on high alert were thrilled to witness such a scene. At this moment, in the presidential palace, all the dignitaries had different thoughts, and Ge Yunfei led his troops to dazzle and beat the Japanese army and achieve a great victory, not excited but surprised. Yuan Shikai looked at the newspaper published in Jinan and said in the face of the indisputable photo.

"Ge Yunfei is indeed not simple, he actually secretly built a fighter. He concealed from the people of the world and from the national government, which is enough to see his ambitions. The destruction of more than 20,000 Japanese troops is incredible. He accurately judged the landing place of the Japanese army, made meticulous preparations, and achieved surprise and unpreparedness for attacking. We didn't think of it, and neither did the Japanese. The Japanese Government has sent a note to China to continue to increase its troops on the Shandong Peninsula, and whether Ge Yunfei can stop the large-scale Japanese attack in the future is the key. ”

Premier Sun Baoqi said: "My lord, the Japanese minister is very arrogant, and conveyed the Japanese government's decision to quell the riots in Shandong at any cost. The Japanese minister relayed that the Japanese cabinet had issued a war order to the country and to expand the armed forces on a large scale. "What is the attitude of the United States, Britain, Russia and France?" Yuan Shikai heard that a cold sweat broke out. Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi said: "My lord, Britain, the United States, Russia and France supported the Japanese army to continue to quell the rebellion, and promised that the battlefield would be limited to Shandong, and this will not change. ”

Liang Shiyi said: "My lord, the British minister met with me secretly and asked us to mediate privately and let Ge Yunfei release the British prisoners of war. On behalf of the British Empire, the British minister promised not to send troops to participate in the Japanese attack, but he could not publish it publicly! "My lord, this is good news, it seems that Ge Yunfei has scared the British. If Ge Yunfei is in a hurry and starts attacking the British concession, the expatriate, and even Hong Kong, the British will be unable to bear it, and I think Ge Yunfei has the ability. ”

Liang Shiyi said: "Xu Shichang, the governor of Fengtian, reported that the attacks on the Liaodong Peninsula and northern Korea have become more and more intense. The Japanese tried to cover up the truth, but the railway from Mukden to Dalian was no longer open, and it was obviously Ge Yunfei's masterpiece. Yang Du said: "Ge Yunfei is very cunning, even if a large-scale attack is carried out on the Liaodong Peninsula and northern Korea, the Japanese army is not capable of sending troops to the northeast. I judge that Ge Yunfei has cooperated with the Germans, and the Japanese can only ensure the security of the Liaodong Peninsula by taking Qingdao. ”

Yuan Shikai pondered for a while and said: "It's okay, I hope that Ge Yunfei will fight for a longer time, since the patriotic enthusiasm of the Chinese people has been ignited, it will be natural." The lesser of two evils is striking, and we will sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. Since Ge Yunfei kept saying that he wanted to protect his family and defend the country, it was up to him to take care of it. Chenzi, you go to Jinan immediately and try to persuade Ge Yunfei to release the British prisoners of war. You tell him that this is an opportunity to dismantle the Anglo-Japanese alliance. "Okay, I'll go to Jinan immediately!"

In the middle of winter, Guangzhou is still warm in spring. The news of Shandong's victory was like a warm spring breeze, which made the city of Guangzhou begin to heat up. Student marches also appeared on the streets, loudly supporting Shandong's counterattack against Japan. Suddenly, Ge Yunfei went from a stubborn old-fashioned warlord to a national hero. This contrast is even more shocking, and Ge Yunfei led his troops to achieve such a great victory, and the national pride trumps everything.

In a western-style house in the central city of Guangzhou, Li Mohan, director of the Secretariat of the Alliance, looked at the newspaper sent from Jinan and was silent. Genuine prints are almost always typeset photos. In the upper right corner, Ge Yunfei's military uniform photo, his expression was solemn and seemed to be full of murderous energy. The following photos of Japanese officers and soldiers captured in different locations are very shocking. Li Mohan looked at Ge Yunfei's handsome and majestic photo, and mixed tastes welled up in his heart.

Husband Zhou Hui walked in (they are married and have a lovely son), "Mo Xin, I didn't expect Ge Yunfei to openly rebel against Yuan Shikai and fight back against the Japanese invasion without hesitation, which is gratifying!" Although Ge Yunfei took refuge in Yuan Shikai, he is a righteous person of the nation and has a strong patriotic heart. The Beiyang government betrayed the country to seek glory, but its national sovereignty was violated but it groveled and succumbed to the coercion of the foreign powers. ”

"Zhou Hui, I decided to support Ge Yunfei and organize a fundraiser to fight against the Japanese invaders?" "Mo Xin, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, most of the members of the Alliance's headquarters are in Japan, and this move will bring danger to Mr. Sun." "I organize fundraising in the name of the people, and I will not embarrass the organization." "Mo Xin, I understand your feelings, Ge Yunfei rebelled against Yuan Shikai, and may join our camp in the future, I agree to raise funds in the form of a non-governmental organization."

Ge Yunfei openly went against Yuan Shikai's wishes and raised the banner of resistance against Japan without hesitation, which made Li Moxin change his opinion of him deep in his heart. Regarding the Japanese army's brazen dispatch to Shandong, his organization only protested, but did not take substantive action. And Ge Yunfei actually led his troops to carry out a counterattack, blood-stained battlefield, fearless, and drew inferences from one another, Mo Xin was confused about the ideal he was pursuing. In the past, in front of the world, Ge Yunfei was an old-fashioned warlord and a "profiteer" who was obsessed with money, but when the nation and the country were in danger, he did stand up.

At this moment, many of Ge Yunfei's excellent qualities are vividly emerging, and there is a collision in the depths of her soul. At the beginning, Ge Yunfei vigorously developed national industry and improved people's livelihood on the Shandong Peninsula, although there was no inspiring slogan, but he really thought about the people. At this time when the country was in danger, he did not hesitate to come forward, but the group led by him and Yuan Shikai was not of the same mind at all, but reluctantly succumbed to the tiger's den. Li Moxin seemed to touch the unknown side of Ge Yunfei, but it was very vague.

At Jinan Station, Ge Yunfei got off the train in good spirits, and his handsome black and red face revealed the traces of the journey. The gongs and drums on the platform were noisy, and the crowd was looking forward to it. Governor Song Shiyuan led the provincial government and representatives of all parties to the station to greet him. "Commander Ge, on behalf of the provincial government and people from all walks of life, I welcome the victory of the heroes!" Song Shiyuan stepped forward to hold Ge Yunfei's hand, looking extremely excited. "Governor Song, it's too early to triumph, and more severe battles are coming, so we must keep a clear head."

"Victory is not arrogant, defeat is not base, Brother Ge is so sober that Song is relieved." Then Ge Yunfei shook hands with everyone and greeted them, and Wen Qing did not appear on the platform. Shan Feng whispered: "Madame didn't come, she didn't want to be hugged in front of the public, it was unseemly!" Ge Yunfei shook his head with a smile and followed Song Shiyuan and other officials to the provincial capital.

Facing reporters in the provincial capital, Ge Yunfei was full of confidence and expressed his determination to defeat the Japanese army. In the face of reporters' questions, Ge Yunfei answered them one by one, emphasizing the power of the people's war.

After the press conference, Song Shiyuan said: "Brother Ge, I know that now is not the time to celebrate, so there is no banquet for Zhang Luo. I asked my wife to prepare a few side dishes, please be sure to enjoy them. Seeing that Ge Yunfei was a little hesitant, Song Shiyuan smiled and said: "Brother Ge, I know that you are like an arrow, and I have been taken to the house by me, madam!" "Brother Song, it seems that you have already planned it, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." The two entered the back hall, and sure enough, Mrs. Wen Qing appeared in front of them with a smile.

Ge Yunfei thought that Wen Qing would definitely have tears in his eyes when he saw him, and originally wanted to take her into his arms to comfort her, but he didn't expect Wen Qing to look calm and smile. "Wen Qing, you have become stronger, I thought ???。" "You think I'm going to be like a little lady, hey, don't look at people with old eyes. Since the wounded were sent to Jinan, the women of our fundraising committee have participated in the care of the wounded. Yunfei, through caring for the wounded, I know what it means to be strong. ”

"Wenqing, I'm glad you have become strong. The brutal battle is yet to come, and this is just the beginning. When the husband and wife were entangled, Song Shiyuan and his wife stood aside and smiled, unable to bear to disturb the people who had been separated for a long time. Then the guest and host sat down, a few glasses of wine, Song Shiyuan said: "Brother Ge, Yang Du sent a telegram asking for an interview with you in a private capacity. Ge Yunfei said with a smile: "Yang Du came to Jinan again, as expected. "Could it be that Yuan Shikai has woken up?"

"It's impossible for Yuan Shikai to change his mind, this time he asked Yang Du to come to Jinan to act as a lobbyist!" "Lobbyist?" Song Shiyuan was confused. "If I'm not mistaken, it was the British who asked Yuan Shikai to mediate the release of British prisoners of war!" "Are you going to give Yuan Shikai face?" "It was originally intended to release British prisoners of war, and if the Anglo-Japanese alliance could be dismantled, why not. The British are face-conscious and don't say anything publicly, but the message I conveyed is something that the British have to pay attention to. ”

"Brother Ge's courage is admirable, no wonder you are confident. The British had concessions, foreign firms, industries, and huge interests in China, and they had to consider this factor. "When will Yang Du come to Jinan?" "Three days later!"
