Zhongnanhai Huairentang October 8, 1914 is just after the Mid-Autumn Festival in the eighth month of the lunar calendar, the osmanthus flowers bloom just right, and the faint fragrance is intoxicating.

"Walk slowly, don't get tired!"

"It's only been more than four months, and it's not about to give birth, and you're making a fuss too!" Mo Xiaolian's face was obviously fatter, and the little man's waist was also much thicker, and his face was full of the pride of a little woman.

Chai Dongliang grinned: "This is not sloppy, you are now a national treasure, with a little ancestor in your belly, and I, the big president, are a super dad in front of you!" ”

"Daddy? I've only heard of wet nurses, where are there any dads? You're talking nonsense again! ”

Chai Dongliang helped Mo Xiaolian to take a walk in the garden. Mo Xiaolian's belly was already slightly bulging, and Wu Meiqi was embroidering the child's belly pocket in the lake pavilion, and her heart was happy and sour. The joy is that Mo Xiaolian is pregnant, and there are successors to the Chai family, and at the same time he is complaining that his stomach is not angry, and he also hates Chai Dongliang for being ruthless, and he is not at home for more than a month, even if he is at home, he often sleeps in the office.

A few days ago, Wu Jintang came to see her, and asked if her sister was pregnant. The Wu family and Chai Dongliang are both prosperous and lossy, the mother is expensive by virtue of the son, Wu Meiqi's belly not only affects her personal status, but also relates to the glory and wealth of the Wu family.

Looking at Chai Dongliang, who was full of joy not far away, and Mo Xiaolian, who was full of happiness, the embroidery needle in Wu Meiqi's hand trembled, and a little red blood oozed out between her fingers, dyeing a cold plum on her belly pocket that had not yet been colored.

"Alright, you go get busy, I'll just walk around the garden by myself!" The empathetic Mo Xiaolian pushed Chai Dongliang away, and walked towards Wu Meiqi, who was worried in the Huxin Pavilion with a smile.

Chai Dongliang wanted to pretend to be a model husband for a while, but he was really in no mood for his official duties, and hurriedly walked to the office on the second floor of Huairentang.

There have long been a mountain of cases on the public case, and almost all of them are reports of students from all over the country making trouble. The great victory of the Jianghuai Army in Qingdao not only inspired national pride, but also ignited a sky-high fire of nationalism. The common people can no longer tolerate the existence of foreign concessions on their own land, and the cries for the recovery of all concessions and the abolition of all unequal treaties have been raised in waves, and there are even many extremists who have shouted the slogan of expelling all foreigners from China. What is even more terrifying is that the students and people who marched not only stormed foreign concessions, legations, consulates, and churches, but also foreign companies and most of the wholly foreign-owned and Sino-foreign joint ventures.

The students went door-to-door searching for foreign goods on the high streets, and then piled them up on the street and burned them. The shopkeeper dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, and could only silently look at the weeping of the burned supplies.

Under the slogan of patriotism, even the police did not dare to stop them, and the patrol officers of the Shanghai Police Department went out into the streets to maintain order, but many people simply took off their police uniforms and joined the procession.

Yu Qiaqing's compradors are not vegetarians, and the merchant groups and dart masters recruited with heavy money are loaded with guns and ammunition to maintain the law and order of the concession, and the two sides are tense. The irrational behavior of the students pushed the Chinese businessmen and compradors of the foreign bank to the side of the foreigners. What worries Chai Dongliang even more is that almost all industries and businesses of a certain scale in China are inextricably linked to foreigners. Not to mention other enterprises, Chai Dongliang's own Guanghua Group, Guanghua Bank, Wuhu Industrial Park, which one does not have shares of foreigners?

Chai Dongliang has been planning the battle to recover Qingdao for a long time, although he won a complete victory on the battlefield, but he unwittingly instigated intonation of national sentiments??? This is something he never dreamed of!

In desperation, Chai Dongliang personally issued a curfew, ordering the army to take to the streets to maintain law and order in major cities, protect foreign nationals and domestic businessmen, and at the same time issued a presidential decree that all student demonstrations must be filed with the National Police Department in advance, only at the specified time and place, otherwise they will be arrested.

With the huge prestige gained in the Battle of Qingdao, Chai Dongliang barely suppressed this trend, but he didn't dare to take it lightly, God knows when the suppressed national sentiment will re-erupt! You can hold it down once or twice, but in the long run, even your reputation will be greatly damaged.

The press, which has always been sympathetic to students, began to implicitly criticize Chai Dongliang for being a brazen advocate for foreigners and supporting the rich and powerful, and some reporters, who have always been more awesome and unforgiving, openly declared in the newspaper that Chai Dongliang himself was the big boss behind the Guanghua Group, so his ass was crooked.

Several students and mobs arrested for the murder of the French consul in Tianjin were regarded as national heroes, and although the students were temporarily confined to the campus and could not get out, banners were put up everywhere in the universities and middle schools in Tianjin and Yanjing to show respect and solidarity to these people.

In the eyes of these elites, the law is against the small people, and these highly educated college students are privileged people who cannot punish doctors, and they are doing patriotic acts???? Who dares to say that patriotism is guilty?

Chai Dongliang was also ruthless, and he wanted to kill this evil fire, and he transferred Yang Bangzi, director of the Shanghai Police Department, to Yanjing, and served as the deputy director of the Patrol Police Department and the director of the Gyeonggi Police Department. Chai Dongliang personally published a signed article in the "Declaration", affirming the principle of the supremacy of the law and judicial reading, and at the same time taking the punishment he was punished for violating traffic rules in Anqing as a case.

Most of the judges of the district courts in Tianjin and Yanjing have returned from studying in Europe and the United States, and when they dared to summon Premier Zhao Bingjun, would they really be afraid of a few students whose hair has not yet grown and professors who are powerless? Besides, President Chai Da was arrested by a few small patrol policemen at the beginning, and his old man can be tried, how many students are a fart?

Yang Yide was originally the director of the Tianjin Police Department, and he was extremely familiar with everyone. Tianjin Wei has been rampant for decades, and even Li Hongzhang and Yuan Shikai have been honest and honest with him, not to mention a few students who have not dried up?

As soon as he made a move, his form immediately changed, and as soon as the suspect should be arrested, and the trial should be tried, the students who were so coaxing saw Yang Bangzi, who was the original powerful Tianjin Wei, and their legs were weak in fright. It didn't take much effort to get the real evidence, Yang Bangzi handed over the evidence to the court, and then ran to Yanjing City happily.

From the director of the Shanghai Police Department to the deputy director of the patrol police department, Yang Bangzi's snot bubbles were beautiful.

Gu Weijun soaked with the foreign envoys every day, wiping the butts of these students who had made a fuss. Fortunately, Europe was disrupted, and the great powers were too busy to take care of themselves, and they really did not want to set up another enemy for themselves for a small matter. However, the turmoil in Yanjing and Tianjin was used as an excuse to demand that China export advanced weapons and transfer the latest technology. The French minister Glenn offended Chai Dongliang in Qingdao, and when he was annoyed, a consul died. Minister Glenn was immediately in high spirits, and in his capacity as a bitter master, he justifiably asked the Chinese political axe to export the latest weapons to make up for the wounded hearts of the French Republic.

Gu Weijun was drenched in cold sweat, fortunately, in the battle of Qingdao, the Chinese [***] team showed strong strength, which made the powers have to face it squarely, and at the same time wanted to win over China to join them. Otherwise, maybe the Eight-Nation Alliance will be organized, and it will really be a great misfortune for the country and the nation!

It is a great sorrow to do things that harm the country in the name of patriotism and treat the law as nothing!

College students with higher education turned into Boxers, and I have to say that education in the early years of the Republic of China was quite a failure!

After reviewing the official document, it was already dark, Chai Dongliang made a cup of coffee, rubbed his swollen eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.

After two sips of coffee, Chai Dongliang leisurely put his feet on the desk, half lying and half sitting on the white leather chair. Since he came to Yanjing, he has not been in a good mood.

Chai Dongliang has always disliked Yanjing very much, first of all, the dirty and narrow streets, whenever he saw the scene of muddy water flowing everywhere on the streets, yellow and white things, and pedestrians covering their noses, he wanted to simply use a bulldozer to bulldoze Yanjing City. Before the crossing, Chai Dongliang was furious when he saw those forced demolitions, but when he himself grasped the absolute power, when he saw the dilapidated Yanjing City, he also had the urge to demolish the entire Yanjing and rebuild a beautiful and clean new city.

The filth and dilapidation of Yanjing is not the most unbearable for him, what makes him hate even more is that Yanjing City has been in Yanjing for hundreds of years, and people are used to revolving around power, and everyone wants to be an official. Officials became the center of the whole society, and there was not the slightest concept of equality between people.

This is very unaccustomed to Chai Dongliang, who has lived in Anqing and Wuhu for more than 20 years in the 21st century. Of course, the 21 st century is also a hierarchical society of power, but the basic social organization structure is still normal; Anqing, Wuhu, and Shanghai, cities bordering the sea and the river, have relatively developed industry and commerce, and many businessmen still have red tops. But after all, in business, in addition to the pawnshop's worship, what other businessman dares to put on a stinky face to the guests?

Middle school students in Anhui and Jiangxi are all tanned and black, but their eyes are as clear as water, and they are as strong as calves, but they respect the system very much, and there is hardly a sight of crossing the road on the street. The people of Jianghuai feel that it is very natural to send their children to technical schools to learn trades, and the wages of technicians are higher than those of civil servants, so what is there to be ashamed of? And under the subtle influence of Chai Dongliang, the young people of Jianghuai have a kind of big mechanical worship, thinking that driving airplanes, tractors, and trucks is a very amazing job. Among the elites of Jianghuai, only the third-rate are willing to take the civil service examination and have a good time, and those who have some ability want to run factories and become compradors.

Yanjing is just the opposite, middle school students are fair-skinned and weak, but they are bullish and angry, believing that everything is inferior only to study high, in addition to taking the university entrance examination to stay abroad, they disdain other ways out, let them be technicians than let the sow go up the tree, college students like to talk about it without the slightest reality, pointing to the head of the country is the way, but the real knowledge is hemp rope and tofu, don't mention it!

They have no interest in practical subjects such as architecture, industry, chemistry, and physics, which are urgently needed by the country, and their only idea is to enter the phase, and it seems that everything else is inferior. Even those who study science and engineering are full of running trains, and the slogans are loud, but there is not much progress in their studies. The teachers and professors of major universities and middle schools are full of international students who have returned from the book, but few of these people can speak the language for many years, and their studies are a mess. However, these students who have returned to China talk about revolutionary theories with great eloquence, as if the Xinhai Revolution was launched by them, and the young students who are inciting their enthusiasm are boiling and regard them as the guiding light on the revolutionary road. But no one cared about the dead soldiers and innocent people in the revolution, as if these people were born to be cannon fodder for the elite.

If it weren't for the nonsense of being a teacher, the students would not have been brain-dead enough to storm the foreign legations and consulates in Beijing.

The Yenching college students Chai Dongliang has seen always feel that if these people bring up a birdcage again, they don't need to wear makeup to play the Eight Banners Uncle at the end of the Qing Dynasty.

Not only Yanjing, but in fact the entire big cities of North China are like this, full of a stale smell of the Middle World, even if the Republic of China changed to the Qing Dynasty, there has been no change.

Chai Dongliang felt that the IQ of these highly educated college students was no different from that of the Boxers in Gengzi Nian, and what was even more lacking in virtue was the people who instigated them to die!

His heart can be punished!

But Chai Dongliang really didn't have anything to do with these people, and more than 20,000 students who had returned to China controlled the teaching posts of various universities, and almost took over the position of chief writers of newspapers in various places, and to put it bluntly, they controlled public opinion. Once you offend them, just wait to be smeared by the newspapers of the whole country, even if you are fragrant, you can be called stinky shit by them. If you cater to them, even if you bring disaster to the country and the people, you can be beautified into a national hero by them.

In Chai Dongliang's memory, what happened in another time and space, Cao Rulin, Zhang Zongxiang, Lu Zongyu and other "Han annihilations" who were violently beaten during the May Fourth Movement, all maintained their literati style and national integrity during the invasion of China. On the contrary, Mei Siping, who violently denounced the traitors and set fire to Zhao's house, was a hardcore man who was shot after the end of the Anti-Japanese War.

The so-called "Anti-Japanese Comrades Association" organized by Zhang Xueliang became famous because he arrested Chiang Kai-shek in Xi'an, but high-level figures such as Sun Mingjiu, Miao Jianqiu, Ying Detian and others almost without exception became Han anniversaries. Although Lao Jiang is a bastard who has no way to govern the country, he has always insisted on resisting.

What made Chai Dongliang feel funny was that when Sun Mingjiu caught Chiang Kai-shek, he also persuaded Chiang Kai-shek to resist, and at that moment he probably felt that he was possessed by Wen Tianxiang and Yue Fei, right?

Yang Yinyu, who was once scolded by Lu Xun for opposing the student movement, faced the butcher's knife of Yue Kou with the weak body of a middle-aged woman in order to protect the students, and was killed by Yu himself with a bayonet, and the blood stained the clear water of the Qinhuai River.

History is often so paradoxical, Han Jian like Sun Mingjiu actually lived to be ninety-two years old, and he enjoyed all the glory and wealth in the second half of his life, but Yang Yinyu was scolded by Lu Xun, so until the twenty-first world, he was still spurned in textbooks as a negative example.

Patriotism is the easiest, when it is necessary to take action, not to mention imitating Yang Yinyu to die to protect students, it is like Cao Rulin and saying that he is soft and hard, I am afraid it takes great courage!

Chai Dongliang thought about it, and finally came to the same old conclusion, this kind of deliberately instigated patriotic sentiment is not worth mentioning, really want the people to love this country, and willing to stand up to protect the country in times of crisis, can only give the people vital benefits, just like he once did in Anhui and Jiangxi, so that the people can share the benefits brought by the country's development.

"Ringing ringing!"

The phone in the office rang, Chai Dongliang picked it up and listened, it was Kuang Haishan who opened it.

"Haishan, is there anything important?"

"President, the military prisoner Akashi Genjiro wants to see you!"

Chai Dongliang was stunned: "What did he do when a war criminal saw me?" Didn't I say that all these prisoners of war should be sent to Mukden and Mongolia for hard labor? Why, haven't left yet? ”

Kuang Haishan hesitated for a moment and said, "Governor, no, President, I have an idea, I don't know whether to say it or not. ”

Chai Dongliang smiled: "How did you become a mother-in-law, just say something." ”

Kuang Haishan smiled: "I discussed it with Lu Kai, and we felt that it was a pity that these prisoners of war were sent to do hard labor. ”

"Oh, what do you guys think? Speak it up and listen to it! ”

Kuang Haishan smiled again: "President, you should know about the Decembrists in Russia, right?" ”

Chai Dongliang laughed, as a history writer, if he didn't even know about the Decembrists, it would really be a waste of time in the online literary world.

Suddenly, Chai Dongliang's smile stiffened: "Haishan, you mean, you want to train these people into the fifth column?" ”

"President, what is the fifth column?"

"The fifth column is ??? Forget it, the explanation is not clear! What do you and Lu Kai mean is to make these people feel the tremendous progress of China, and then make them hate the current system, and then launch a coup d'état through their hands, so as to mess up the political situation in this country, and then we can profit from it? ”

"The president draws inferences from one another, and Haishan admires it!"

"Don't be a sycophant, your ideas are very construction! You and Lu Kai will go back to Beijing immediately, let's discuss it carefully and see if it is feasible! ”

"Yes! The great president, are these people still sent to Mukden and Mongolia to serve hard labor? ”

Chai Dongliang thought for a while and said: "Temporarily detain them in prisoner of war camps in Qingdao, Longkou, and Jimo, and after you return to Beijing, we will hold an emergency meeting to discuss the results and then decide how to deal with them??? Escort that Akashi Genjiro into Beijing, I'd like to meet this guy in person! ”
