At Yanjing Xizhimen Railway Station, the patrol police set up a cordon, and the trains on the whole line were temporarily suspended, and the passengers were speculating whether there was a big man about to appear, but it didn't feel like it, there was neither a welcoming team, nor ribbons and flowers, only the garrison and police with loaded guns were responsible for law and order.

Military trains slowly stopped on the platform, and soldiers wearing uniform yellow-green and black spotted striped camouflage uniforms walked off the platform in a neat queue. Among them, there are many generals with shining gold stars on their epaulettes, but unlike the generals of the Beiyang Army that the common people of Yanjing City are used to, these senior generals are all staggeringly young, and even the pimples on some people's faces have not completely disappeared.

A military train coming from the northwest, the last few cars were flatbed cars, which were tightly covered by a thick tarpaulin, and a group of soldiers, with rifles with good bayonets, stood on it, looking around vigilantly, as if they did not hesitate to shoot if there was an abnormal situation. Although these people have been dusty all the way, their military hats are covered with dust, and their faces are so dirty that they can't see the color, but the evil aura on their bodies makes people shudder.

Out of the carriage came a general who applied for solemnity, he was born with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and there were three shallow forehead lines on his forehead, which looked more mature than his actual age. He walked to the platform with a few guards. His soldiers seemed to be a little wooden, just like himself, but their eyes were as sharp as knives.

Almost at the same time, another train came from the northeast wind, and after the car stopped, out of the carriage came a pockmarked general, surrounded by a large number of guards, when he saw the sword-eyed officer on the platform, he rushed out of the crowd excitedly, and pounced on it with a bear hug.

The officer who was hugged by him said, "Brother Haishan, you want me to die!" The pockmarked general shouted.

This pockmarked person is Gu Nanshan, the governor of Fengtian, and it is naturally Kuang Haishan, the Mongolian reclamation envoy, who was hugged by him, and the two met at the station, and they were naturally overjoyed.

A general flashed out behind Kuang Haishan, his badge was a silver plane, and he rushed up and punched him in the chest: "Dead pockmarks, you only have Brother Haishan in your eyes, there is no Lao Tzu?" ”

Gu Mazi was in pain, and he punched back: "Lu Kai, you bastard, do you want to kill Lao Tzu?" ”

Lu Kai had already guessed that he would fight back, so he flashed to the side flexibly, and Gu Mazi was empty. Gu Mazi was willing to suffer, chasing him all over the platform, and the two of them laughed and made trouble.

Seeing that the commander of the five people and six people in Ping Yue actually met with this virtue, the guards couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

After a while, an old man wearing a gray cloth robe and a cane got out of the car, and Gu Mazi and the others, who were fighting, immediately stopped.

"Old Master Gao, are you here too?" Lu Kai hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

can clean up these guys, in addition to Chai Dongliang, the other one is Gao Ming, the head of the Manchurian and Mongolian civil affairs. His qualifications are extremely old, and when the anti-Qing uprising was in place, Kuang Haishan and others were still reciting the three-character scripture in the school! In the system of the Jianghuai Army, his status is second only to Chai Dongliang, quite similar to Xu Shichang next to Yuan Shikai.

Gao Ming was also very happy to see him, and pretended to be displeased: "What, do you think I'm old and eyesore?" Don't want to see me? ”

Lu Kai said with a hippie smile: "How can it!" I'm still waiting to hear your old man's teachings! As you said last time, I never get tired of hearing the story of you stealing the Golden Buddha with Liu Gong and Jiao Dafeng, but I don't remember one thing clearly, as if which one was the one who lost his pants and went back with his bare ass? It won't be your old man! ”

Gao Ming's face turned red, and he raised his cane and feigned: "Little rabbit cub, beg for a beating!" ”

Everyone laughed, and after a while, they saw Gu Weijun walking over with He Haiming. Gu Weijun said with a smile: "The president asked us to pick you up, it's too late for official business, please don't be surprised!" ”

Gao Ming smiled: "Don't blame, don't blame!" Who else is coming today? ”

Gu Weijun said with a smile: "There are also He Tianshou and Fang Qingyu who are coming from Shanghai, and your younger brother Mr. Xiang Yuan is also coming from Nanchang." It is estimated that it will be at Xizhimen Station in a while! President Chai said that when everyone arrives, they will immediately go to the presidential palace for a meeting! ”

Gao Ming was stunned: "Oh, He Tianshou and they are also coming?" What's the matter, my brother Gao Chuguan is also coming? ”

Only then did everyone realize the seriousness of the problem, the entire Jianghuai army was summoned by Chai Dongliang, there must be a big event, you know, whether it was the battle of Dagukou or when he was preparing to enter Yanjing, Chai Dongliang did not gather his whole wealth together.

Kuang Haishan was silent, he said calmly: "Then let's wait for them." ”

When Gu Mazi saw Gu Weijun, he immediately opened the conversation: "Mr. Shaochuan, I heard about it in Mukden, and you will be the prime minister in the future, right?" You have to pity us soldiers, that place in Manchuria is vast and sparsely populated, my soldiers break their legs every day, and they suffer from old cold legs when they drill in the old forest, so they have to help get another 30,000 or 20,000 war horses, right? ”

Gu Weijun said with a smile: "Old Master Gao and Mr. Xiang Yuan are here, how can they be able to take my turn?" Besides, if you don't look for Kuang Tun to reclaim the war horse, what's the use of you looking for me? Mongolia only sent war horses, and Yanjing City did not raise horses! ”

Kuang Haishan smiled: "Look at me, I can't even get together a war horse to export to Russia now, how can I have a horse for you?" ”

Gu Mazi glanced at him and said: "Brother Haishan, you are a full man who doesn't know how hungry a man is hungry, your subordinates are all cavalry, and the brothers below me are still on their legs!" Our brothers are not ordinary friends, you will deduct a batch from the old Maozi Marik, and I will pay you back with wood and coal, so that you will not suffer! ”

Kuang Haishan pointed his finger at He Haiming, who seemed to be polite and polite on the side: "Director He, you can hear clearly, it was this guy who co-opted me, you can just take him away." ”

Ho Haiming is the director of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, and he is known for being ruthless, but he knows that these people are joking, so he doesn't speak, just keeps laughing.

Gu Mazi said with a blushing face: "Brother Haishan, I'm talking to you seriously, not playing around with you!" You really have to help me find a way to get some war horses, so let me get three cavalry divisions, right? This white mountain and black water are so far away, the soldiers have no war horses, and the marching speed is too slow, in case of an accident, this responsibility brother can't afford it! ”

Kuang Haishan smiled and said in a low voice, "Do you see the things in that car?" Better than a horse! If you go back to the president to complain, maybe he will give it to you! ”

Gu Mazi looked back and said disdainfully: "Isn't it just a car?" I built this in Mukden City, and I tell you, this thing is not good for us! In this place in the northeast, the mountains and forests are muddy when the day is hot, and in winter, it is cold and snowy, and the car can't be pushed out when it is stuck in, so it is better to use the horse! ”

Kuang Haishan lowered his voice and said, "Who told you that it was a car?" ”

Gu Mazi was stunned: "Oh, there are better things than cars?" ”

Lu Kai said disdainfully: "Isn't my plane better than a car?" Not only can you fly fast, but you can also throw bombs and machine guns, or you can tell the president how magnificent your soldiers are flying one plane per person! ”

Gu Mazi glanced at him with disdain: "Get out, you are the least thing, the air forces everywhere are under the unified jurisdiction of your kid!" Lao Tzu has no way to mobilize a plane, and he has nothing to say to a scoundrel like you. Hey, Brother Haishan, what kind of treasure did you bring to open your brother's eyes? ”

Everyone burst into laughter, and Lu Kai was not angry with the people he was used to.

Kuang Haishan said calmly: "It is estimated that in the next two days, the governor, no, President Chai Da is going to open your eyes, just don't scare your urine out when the time comes!" I'm used to calling the governor, and I always feel uncomfortable changing my name! ”

Several people were welcomed to the VIP room of the station to drink tea, and the electric fan and ice basin were set up in the room, but it was not stuffy.

After about an hour, the one-armed general He Tianshou, Fang Qingyu, who had two eyebrows as black as insects, and Gao Chuguan, who had a round face and looked like a businessman, arrived at Xizhimen Railway Station one after another.

When they met, they were happy at first, and then they felt a pang in their hearts, so many people gathered in Yanjing, there must be something big about to happen. Only the one-armed generals He Tianshou and Fang Qingyu, who came from Shanghai, seemed to be confident and did not show surprise.

Gu Mazi had the best relationship with He Tianshou, and when he saw him coming, he immediately rushed out and shouted, "Uncle Guo!" ”

"Get out!" He Tianshou scolded with a smile.

"Congratulations to Uncle Guo, I heard that your sister-in-law is about to give birth, I will congratulate you in advance!"

"Fuck off! If you are slapping you to death, Xiao Lian has just conceived and will be born next year! He Tianshou scolded fiercely, but his heart was happy.

The sister-in-law has vision, she can marry the president, and she is pregnant, if she gives birth to a boy, the ancestral grave of the old He family will be smoking! President, when he was put on the throne of the former Qing Dynasty, he was the emperor, and he was going to be the prince's uncle, how could He Tianshou not be overjoyed!

It's just that recently my wife heard that her sister was pregnant, so she ran to Yanjing in advance to take care of her, and Lao He used five girls every night to relieve the long night of loneliness, which was a fly in the ointment.

After everyone gathered, they immediately rushed to the presidential palace located in Zhongnanhai Huairentang, along the way the decay of Yanjing City also made them a little embarrassed about this hundreds of years of Yanjing, they were used to the wide and straight cement road in Anqing, so when governing the place, the first thing was to renovate public facilities, build a large number of roads, public bathhouses, trams, and now the roads including Fengtian City are more than ten meters wide concrete roads. They originally thought that the capital would inevitably be much stronger than the localities, but they did not expect that the infrastructure here was too far worse than that of Anqing, Jiujiang, Wuhu, and Nanchang, and the streets were even dirtier and narrower.

After getting off at Zhongnanhai, it is another scene, inside the tall red wall, the pavilions and pavilions are carved and painted with railings, the paintings on the promenade are beautiful, and the lotus flowers on the water surface of thousands of acres are fragrant, which forms a very sharp contrast with the dilapidated Yanjing City.

Gu Mazi was a little unhappy: "These thieves are hiding in the cave to enjoy all the glory and wealth, and they can't see what it's like outside!" When you go out, you have to pave the road with loess, clean the street, and the capital is about to become a dung pit! ”

Gao Ming glared at him: "Mazi, what nonsense?" ”

Gu Mazi consciously lost his words, Chai Dongliang is still living in Zhongnanhai Huairen Hall! This sentence of the thief king even scolded him!

Gu Weijun said with a smile on the side: "Gu Dudu is right, the president also said that he is depressed when he lives here, and he plans to find a small place to move out, and this place will be converted into a park, so that the people can come in and play!" ”

Gao Ming was stunned: "How can this be made?" Didn't Yuan Shikai live here in the past? ”

Gu Weijun smiled faintly: "The president said that he will be different from Yuan Shikai when he moves out!" This place will be converted into a park in the future, and a few admission fees will be charged, and those eunuchs who were kicked out of the Qing Palace will not have a livelihood, let them clean up here, and give them a way to live! ”

Kuang Haishan was speechless for a long time, and suddenly shouted: "Okay! ”

Everyone was taken aback by him, but they all knew that his surname was quiet, and they didn't really admire it, and they wouldn't make such a move!

Everyone walked through the Xinhua Gate, looking at the dilapidated residential buildings outside blocked by a flower wall, and couldn't help but despise, this was done by Yuan Shikai, a typical act of covering his ears and stealing the bell. With this wall of flowers, he should get out of here!

Gu Weijun introduced as he walked, and he told everyone that after Xinhua Gate was Yingtai, where Guangxu and Li Yuanhong were once under house arrest, and now it is used as a place for banquets in the Presidential Palace. Walking through Fengze Garden and Qinzheng Palace, it is the Huairen Hall where Chai Dongliang works.

The building of Huairentang is very new, and it was rebuilt after the year of Gengzi. Huairentang was originally called Yiluan Palace, which used to be the favorite place of the Empress Dowager Cixi, after the Eight-Nation Alliance entered Yanjing, Marshal Wadsey moved in, and this guy also brought Sai Jinhua here, and was so unhappy in Cixi's dragon bed every night. Unexpectedly, one night when the rat stole the lamp oil, Marshal Wadsey threw a leather boot in anger, but the candle fell down and ignited the curtain, causing a fire, Marshal Wadsey wrapped his military uniform around Sai Jinhua's body and ran out with his bare buttocks.

Hearing Gu Weijun's explanation, everyone laughed, but after laughing, they couldn't help but feel a little sad. Everyone thinks what Gu Mazi said is very reasonable, a group of thieves and eight thieves are hiding here to make a fortune, and after their brains are hot, they declare war on the whole world, and when the coalition army comes, this group of bastards runs cleanly, not only that, but when these bastards escaped, they also closed the nine gates of Yanjing City, so that millions of people in the capital did not even have a way to escape, and could only let the beasts of the Eight-Nation Alliance Army ravage!

I have let this group of thieves rule for more than 260 years, how unfortunate the people of the country are!

He Tianshou interjected: "The president said that it's okay to move out, this is where Cixi's old witch and Sai Jinhua's bitch slept, damn bad luck!" ”

Gao Chuguan, who had not spoken, said with a smile: "The president's move has a deep meaning, you all think shallowly!" ”

"Oh, what do you think of Mr. Xiangyuan?" Gu Weijun didn't think Chai Dongliang had other ideas, he just felt that the lighting of traditional Chinese buildings was generally not good, and it was too close to the layout of the temple, so he always felt a little depressed.

"The president opened Zhongnanhai to let the people see the royal extravagance, isn't this politics? The royal family is extremely poor and luxurious, but the people are hungry and cold, how can the people not hate the former Qing Dynasty and love our Republic of China? The Manchu court lived in this luxurious place, and President Chai did not cut it, how could the people not hate the Tartar emperor and love our president? The Manchu Emperor regarded this beautiful scenery as a place of pleasure for the whole family, and my president regarded it as a park where the people could enter and leave at will, how could the people not despise the Manchu Tartars and love my Chinese president? ”

After hearing a burst of laughter, He Tianshou pointed at him with one arm and said, "Full of conspiracy, you are not a good person!" ”

Before everyone laughed enough, they saw Chai Dongliang standing at the door, his expression solemn and his eyes like torches.
