Crackle Crackle...... Boom...... The sound of firecrackers and fireworks filled the ears, and a group of prisoners walked out of the prison, looking at the scene outside, and finding themselves out of touch with the times.

"Ince, here." Several people dressed in suits and leather shoes, wearing gentleman's hats, and dressed as intellectuals, stood not far away, and when they saw a prisoner walking out of the prison gate, they waved excitedly and shouted.

When Chen Qimei heard someone call him, he turned his head to look and found that it was a comrade of the Kuomintang back then, and he couldn't help but burst into tears and was speechless. Chen Qimei's younger brother Chen Qicai was also among them, he ran over excitedly, pulled Chen Qimei and said, "Brother, it's okay." ”

"Ince, don't come unharmed!" An old man in his fifties, wearing an old-fashioned robe, looked at Chen Qimei with a smile and asked, this person is the elder of the Alliance-Tan Renfeng, known as Tan Huzi.

"Everything is fine." Chen Qimei excitedly shook Tan Renfeng's hand and said, "Old Tan, are you now?" ”

"Let's not talk about this for now, we have booked a table for you, and we will talk about it at the restaurant first." Tan Renfeng smiled heartily, and Chen Qimei nodded: "Okay, good." ”

Several people called two taxis and took them to the restaurant.

"Brother Ince, what are your plans for the future?" Tan Renfeng asked after giving Chen Qimei a glass of wine during the banquet, Chen Qimei shook his head and said, "I don't know what to do in the future, I don't know how Tan Lao is now?" ”

"I'm just a random East China councilor, and I just hang around." Tan Renfeng said with a smile, he is also old, and he doesn't want to seek too much, although this East China parliamentarian has no real power, it is also a good position, and ordinary people can't afford it.

"What about the other comrades?" Chen Qimei asked.

"Most of the others have also returned to China, but they haven't found anything to do, and now the vision of East China's political axe is really high, and ordinary people don't enter their eyes." Tan Renfeng sighed.

"Ahem~!" Chen Qimei sighed deeply and sighed: "I thought that our alliance would be regarded as the leader of the revolution back then, but I didn't expect it to be reduced to such a state today. ”

As she spoke, Chen Qimei drank the rice wine in the cup bitterly.

"The original defeat was already doomed." Tan Renfeng shook his head and said, "Zhongshan is a unique figure in China, but it is a pity that although the conceit is large but the amount is small, although the determination is strong, the means are inferior. Looking at his plans, he has always been limited to a corner of Guangzhou, and has not tried to finalize the overall situation; In terms of employing people, before the recovery, only Hu Hanmin, Wang Jingwei, and Huang Keqiang were regarded as confidants. And to the individual as a unit, the beginning of the abandonment of the Tokyo headquarters, focusing on the Southern Alliance, the successor rejected the old said to be the same people, inviting new people to open up a new face, not all the small size, the means are inferior? To speculate on the psychology of overseas Chinese, knowing that they must be difficult before they can raise funds, so regardless of success or failure, they act rashly and recklessly, and they are unable to maintain after defeat, which is especially unpopular. ”

"Looking at the political axe of East China, it was formed in Fujian against the Qing Dynasty in one fell swoop, and the autonomous status was established before the Xinhai year, and it took advantage of the situation in the Xinhai year, swept Fujian, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi provinces, and then continued to grow on this basis. Chairman Xia was even more able to absorb the Restoration Society, thinking that he was the backbone of the talent. For several years, it was not for selfish interests, enriching the people and strengthening the army, but now China has been defeated, and it has finally become a great weapon. ”

What Tan Renfeng said is a summary he made when the second revolution failed, especially because he had a lot of opinions about Sun Dacang, nepotism, exclusion of dissidents, despicable means, no ability to control the overall situation, no matter the success or failure of fundraising, and mistaken people's children's surnames...... "Compared with the chairman of the committee, Sun is really not worth mentioning." Now that the people are rich and the military is at the height of the military under the rule of East China, there is no need for the so-called revolution to exist, and there is no need for the existence of the League. If you don't care about the reality and do things, you are really a traitor for your own benefit. ”

Nowadays, the world has changed a lot, which makes it a little difficult for Chen Qimei to adapt.

If Tan Renfeng's words had been before, he would have been attacked, but at this time, none of the people in the alliance had any objections, but instead showed their approval.

Now Sun Cannon also knows that he can't do anything, and he hid in the United States to enjoy his life, judging from his financial resources, it is obvious that he embezzled a lot of money at the beginning.

Sun Cannon's reputation at this time was very stinky, especially in the Nanyang region, the reputation of Sun Cannon and the Alliance was even more stinky, and no one was waiting to see them.

At this time, the Nanyang Chinese had already seen clearly the various behaviors of the League back then, and compared with the Baath Party, the gap could only be described by the word judgment.

"Old Tan, this is all in the past, why bother mentioning it again." Someone present persuaded: "Let's talk about China's development in the future!" Especially now that we have recovered Taiwan and the Ryukyus, and even laid down three islands in the Pacific Ocean, China will become a world power in the future. ”

"Who said no, it's a pity that North Korea didn't take it back from Yuben."

Chen Qimei was also overjoyed with this major military victory, and if it weren't for this victory, he would have been imprisoned for decades.

After the defeat of the Yue army in Shandong, the East China political axe granted amnesty to the whole world and released all those political prisoners, while those criminals who committed heinous crimes were not included in the scope of the amnesty.

After the banquet, Chen Qimei went back to his hometown in Huzhou, and everything around him became very different from before he was imprisoned, not only that on the surface it seemed that there were new houses everywhere, and people were fed and clothed, but the social atmosphere had changed greatly.

In contrast, Feng Guozhang, who was released from prison under amnesty, was much more pompous.

As soon as Feng Guozhang was released from prison, Cao Kun and Wu Peifu drove a convoy to greet him, Feng Guozhang was the old alliance leader of the direct warlord, and Cao Kun now replaced Feng Guozhang's position and became the new alliance leader of the direct warlord.

Hearing that Yuan Shikai was seriously ill, Feng Guozhang hurriedly ran back to Yanjing.

Although there is a bit of a problem between him and Yuan Shikai, it has been eliminated a lot over the years, and Yuan Shikai seems to be unable to do it.

Yuan Shikai fell ill in bed during the imperial turmoil, and it has been several months, and his condition has not improved.

Yuan Shikai, who was lying on the hospital bed, couldn't help but be very happy when he saw Feng Guozhang, and talked to Feng Guozhang very weakly, like an old man in the twilight.

"Huafu! After I leave, I hope you will not forget the brotherhood of the small station training back then, and take care of Keding, then I will rest assured. Yuan Shikai said a few words and began to explain to the future generations, Yuan Shikai knew that he would not live to be 58 years old, and the most uneasy thing before his death was his eldest son Yuan Keding.

As he was talking, Yuan Shikai suddenly shed two lines of turbid tears.

"Don't worry, old man, I will do my best." Feng Guozhang also shed tears, and both of them knew in their hearts that Beiyang was not far away, and the group was about to collapse.

Soon after Feng Guozhang came out of Yuan Shikai's Xinhua Palace, he was appointed commander of the Second Beiyang Army and regained control of the army. Then Yuan Shikai appointed Duan Qirui as the Minister of War and handed over all the military power.

Yuan Shikai's sudden decentralization of power was not even expected by Duan Qirui.

However, at this time, Yuan Shikai also understood that it was no longer possible for his son Yuan Keding to inherit his position.

After the Battle of Zhongyue, the East China Political Axe once again annexed the four provinces, both in terms of strength and prestige, the two are already far apart, even if Yuan Keding inherited his position, it is useless.

At this time, China was no longer the China of Beiyang, but the China under the jurisdiction of the East China political axe.

Feng Guozhang can come back at this time, which makes Yuan Shikai very happy, but among Feng Guozhang and Duan Qirui, he trusts Duan Qirui more, although many things were not good before.

Yuan Shikai gave Feng Guozhang military power and Duan Qirui military power, compared to Duan Qirui, who had more military power, that is, the Minister of War and commanded most of the army.

However, the Beiyang Army was no longer optimistic at this time, first of all, Cao Kun, Feng Yuxiang and other troops participated in the national war, obtained a large number of advanced equipment, and their strength became extremely strong, especially these troops could be thrown into the arms of East China's political axe at any time.

Feng Guozhang was in control of the Second Army, which was about 80,000 troops. Duan Qirui is in control of the First Army, also with more than 80,000 people, and three of the divisions are the Yuan Family Army trained by the model brigade established by Yuan Shikai, the Praetorian Guard Division~! There were 70,000 or 80,000 troops under his command.

In the Beiyang system, there was a three-legged pattern at this time, Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang, and Cao Kun each controlled an army, and there was also a Feng Yuxiang, who already controlled the strength of a division at this time.

…… East China Political Axe must have the Spring Festival Gala every year, but this year's Spring Festival Gala received a staggering amount of donations, just those businessmen donated 800 million yuan on the spot.

When the donations from various places were summed up, they reached a terrifying 5.3 billion yuan, accounting for 9 percent of the gross domestic product.

Although at this time in China, people need to spend money is not much, but there are still many people who have not solved the housing problem, it is already very good to reach 9%, and this is only the donation at the end of the year, plus the amount of charity throughout the year, accounting for 16% of the gross domestic product, which is already a very high value.

How do you divide so much money?

You Zhengbin suggested to Xia Jun: "We might as well invest some of this money in scientific research, some in education, and the rest in infrastructure." ”

Xia Jun felt that You Zhengbin's suggestion was good, so he agreed, and said with an admonition: "Let Xu Wenbo build the railway and highway to Lijiang, Yunnan as soon as possible, preferably within this year." ”

…… In Lijiang, Yunnan, a large convoy came on the second day of the new year and transported a large number of materials to Lijiang on a rugged road.

And an order from the administration building asked the Lijiang County government axe to form a mule and horse team to transport these supplies to the Han compatriots in Myanmar.

This surprised Sun Youxiu, knowing that it was likely to alarm the chairman, who obviously attached great importance to this matter, and he did not dare to slack off.

Mules and horses were collected locally to transport the supplies to Myanmar. The traffic situation from Lijiang to Myanmar is very bad, and cars can't go.
