As soon as the two arrived at the bank the next day, a guest came to the door, and it was Zhao Guanhou's old acquaintance, Tang Yishao. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe two have worked together outside the border, and their personal relationship is half good or bad, and they are students studying in Yankee, and their knowledge is closer to that of the foreign school, and they are like-minded with Zhao Guanhou.

As soon as the two met, Tang Yishao first took out a check from the book of protection, "There is 100,000 yuan of gold ocean here, which is a congratulatory gift from Rong An for the marriage of the two." ”

Zhao Guanhou was also polite, took the check and handed it to Leng He, and then asked, "What is the situation now?" ”

"What else? Originally, Jiangning's road was a heavy hammer, Jiangning changed hands, half of the country shook, and the court also had to sleep and eat restlessly. However, the crown marquis, you are angry, and the soldiers of the tiger and wolf go south, fight Kejiangning, recapture Zhenjiang, Yangzhou, Taizhou, and Yancheng, and the situation in the southeast has changed from chaos to death, and the situation of Ge Ming's army is very bad. Lu Bin was in chaos in Shanxi, and he was almost about to enter Shaanxi. The people's army that started in Shaanxi was not very strong in combat and was extremely poorly equipped. Since the death of Dong Wuxing, most of the Gan army has broken up and become bandits. This time he started an incident with the people's army, but it was not for Ge Ming, it was purely for his own wealth, burning, killing and looting, and the military discipline was extremely poor. Shaanxi is located in a barren area, food is scarce, and it is very difficult to break out of Guanzhong. Outside the pass, Zhang Yuting expelled Ge Mingjun, and the three eastern provinces are still under the control of the imperial court, and there will be no chaos in the north. Although reinforcements were sent from Liangguang and Fujian in the south, it was not easy to defeat the two armies in Beiyang. The whole situation is a confrontation, and I came this time to wait for Emperor Sun to come to Songjiang to talk about a way of peace, and this battle cannot be fought. ”

Tang Yishao is a native of Guangzhou, and he is a fellow villager with Emperor Sun, and it is more convenient to speak with this friendship. Secondly, he studied in the Yankees, and his position was more inclined to the Yankees, and he talked with the Yankees' ministers and consuls, and he also had the power of foreigners to rely on.

He sighed, "The foreigners have sent a note and decided to form a mediation team to urge the two sides to cease fire and strike troops and achieve peace." From their tone, it can already be heard that they have no intention of helping the Jin country, and the most ideal plan is to divide the river and rule. One China, divided into two, foreigners can profit from it, suck blood and cut flesh from us. As a descendant of Yan and Huang, no matter how bad I am, I can't sell my ancestor's property and let outsiders see the joke. Therefore, I have come to discuss peace this time in the hope that Mr. Sun will keep the country and the nation in mind, stop armed confrontation, and realize the unification of the country and end the state of antagonism before foreigners interfere too much in our internal affairs. ”

Zhao Guanhou nodded, "What Brother Tang has seen is really clever, but I'm afraid this matter is not easy to talk about." Although Ge Ming's army lost very badly, it still controlled the wealth of the southeast, and there were reinforcements from several provinces. On the Yunnan side, our Beiyang forces have been completely squeezed out, and their governor Cai Feng is said to be a very ambitious person. Delong Wangshu, all the way to Guizhou, and sent a team of men and horses to take Sichuan, quite a pattern of success. If the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan are owned by them, they are inseparable from us, and they are really a hard opponent. ”

"Otherwise, the situation in Yunnan is inseparable from the influence of the Capetian people. Without Cape's support, they would have struggled even with arms, not to mention anything else. Moreover, Yunnan and Guizhou are not rich provinces, military salaries are very difficult, and no matter how capable Cai is, he can't jump out of the intervention of foreigners. Capet doesn't want the East to be too chaotic right now, which would be detrimental to their interests in China. The person who presided over the peace talks between the north and the south this time was Albiang Minister Zhu Erdian, and his relationship with Xiangcheng and you is not bad, and in this matter, he will definitely help us, not Yunnan. Besides, foreigners are not stable now, and if they take out a large amount of arms to support Cai Feng, I think they are also powerless. ”

Zhao Guanhou said: "What's the matter, there is a problem with the foreigners?" ”

"This is my speculation, not necessarily the truth, but according to my understanding of foreigners, I am at least seventy percent sure." Tang Yishao was very confident: "Guanhou still remembers the explosion of the Citiboat in Songjiang, right?" Later, I heard that the reason why the ship blew up so fiercely was not because of the terrible explosion of eggs, but because the ship quietly carried a lot of munitions. As a result, the eggs were blown up and the munitions were blown up, and it was done like that. The Yankees' newspaper interviewers were very powerful, and they investigated the matter to the eyebrow, and published it in the newspapers, and it was said that there was a big storm in the Yankees. Their current president is a northerner and has conflicting interests with the southern states. The north and south sides are tense, and it is very likely that they will use swords. Once the Yankees have a civil war, the whole of Tessie will be affected, and it is not known what will happen in the future. They must protect themselves first and then meddle in other people's affairs, so it is unlikely that they will support Cai Feng's use of force. However, it is precisely because of Tessie's incident that I hope that our peace talks can have a result as soon as possible, and the more it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for us. ”

Chen Lenghe asked, "How do you say this?" ”

"Because we have two very unlikable neighbors around us." Tang Yi Shaobi drew the direction: "These two evil neighbors are coveting our back garden, our industry, and our field business. In the past, the great powers were so powerful that they did not dare to act recklessly for fear of arousing public opinion. If the great powers take care of themselves, and they attack us again, it will be very difficult for us to resist. At this time, we must unite, think in one place, and work in one place in order to earn a life. If we still have to fight with each other now, then the evil neighbors will come in, and what strength will we have to parry? ”

Zhao Guanhou smiled and said nothing, knowing that Tang Yishao's words actually implied that he was accusing himself of taking Jiangning and damaging Ge Mingjun too much. If Ge Ming's army was weakened to the point where he could not balance Dajin, Yuan Weiting's plan would also be affected, and it would be difficult for him to receive authority as smoothly as he thought.

Chen Lenghe agreed with Tang Yishao's opinion: "This is like a patient, when he is sick, he naturally has to take care of his body, and when his body is strong, he can get rid of the disease." If you have to make your body suffer and suffer when you are sick, it will be difficult to recover from the disease. I do understand this truth, but how to talk about the law, Mr. Tang has a strategy? ”

"Yes. This strategy was actually mentioned to Xiang Cheng by the Guanhou at the beginning. The Ge Ming Party's uprising this time was hasty and slightly unprepared. In the righteousness of Wuchang, the Xingzhong Society did not contribute much, the main force was the Guangfu Society, and the one who persuaded Li Huangpo to be the governor was the leader of the local constitutionalists. In the subsequent uprisings in the southeastern provinces, Songjiang was the foundation of the Xingzhonghui, and Zhejiang was the basic territory of the Guangfuhui. In other provinces, the strength of the Liberation Society is also very large, and it is not comparable to the current Xingzhong Society. A person borrows money to open a store, how prosperous the business is, and the capital is also someone else's, we directly control his wealth in our hands, what else is there to talk about? ”

Zhao Guanhou smiled: "What's the matter, the Restoration Society has connected with Brother Tang?" ”

This was originally a secret, but Tang Yishao had no intention of concealing it.

"Sort of, it was they who took the initiative to contact me, hoping to resolve the conflict between the North and the South peacefully. Different from the concept of the Xingzhong Society, the Restoration Society actually hopes that Ge Ming can shed less blood, preferably without bloodshed. Moreover, the constitutionalists were all local gentry, and their own foundations were all here. Once the war is in danger, it is inevitable that the family property will be damaged and the foundation will not be guaranteed. Yunnan aided Guizhou, Guizhou became a subordinate place of Yunnan, and when Sichuan was reinforced, the position of the governor of Shu was also not guaranteed. As soon as the reinforcements from Liangguang and Fujian arrived, the first to panic were people from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. It is to solve the problem in a way that they are willing to do peacefully. Cheng Quande, Zhang Dianzhuo, and Tang Shouyang of Zhejiang had already expressed their sincerity to Weiting, were willing to support the peace talks between the north and the south, and openly refused to allow troops from Guangdong and Fujian to enter the country. However, what we should be most grateful for is Chen Wuwei. If he hadn't killed two Taos in a row, how could he have taken the initiative to contact me? ”

Tang Yishao's face smiled even more, "Yesterday, I heard that Guanhou and people from Zhejiang have already had some contact?" They wanted us to support the Restoration Society to punish the murderers, and I agreed. But I have no fists, no courage, and no heart in the south. Specific to the implementation level, I want you to help a little. ”

"It's not impossible to help, but I also want to know who they are going to sanction. How many people do they have to kill before they can be satisfied. ”

"Chen Wu is the first person, everything can be decided." Tang Yishao knew that Meng Siyuan, the temporary governor of Songjiang, had a friendship with Zhao Guanhou, so in order to prevent misunderstanding, he explained it first.

"Although the Liberation Society is famous for its assassinations, it does not kill innocent people indiscriminately, nor does it implicate people who have nothing to do with the matter. Chen Wuwei, the culprit, must not be let go, as for the others, it is the specific killer who killed Tao Chenghan, and the Restoration Society itself will send someone to deal with it. As long as we can provide some convenience, they can't be grateful. ”

Although Chen Wuwei's current whereabouts are unknown, according to some information held by Zhao Guanhou, he should be protected by Liu Fubiao and hidden in the Capet Concession. The Liberation Society wanted to assassinate, but it could not bring guns into the concession, which required the support of local forces. Even the aftermath after the murder also needs a powerful person to turn around, and this is the most suitable to find Zhao Guanhou.

He nodded, "I'll do my best." The peace talks between the North and the South and the cessation of the war are of great benefit to the country and the nation. But I don't know, how to deal with the relationship between the two after the war? What is this country really like? ”

Tang Yishao said: "I've already thought about this, I support Emperor Sun's opinion." The only way to do this is to make the country strong, and it is necessary to follow the example of Taixi, and the most advanced model is the cohesive system. The president is elected, the general ceremony, and there is a parliament under it. The judicial, military, and financial powers are separated and cannot interfere with each other. The power of the President is controlled by the Parliament, and the General Office is the first person in charge under the President. Everyone needs to be responsible to the parliamentarians, the parliamentarians are responsible to the voters, and the councilors are responsible at all levels, and they can discuss together, so that the country can sweep away the accumulated shortcomings and revitalize the national prestige! ”

His emotions were a little excited, and he got up and said: "Guanhou, you see, the biggest impact of restricting China's development is that the control of various countries over us, the slightest change will definitely touch the interests of foreigners, and then it will attract the retaliation of foreigners." In the end, we can't do anything, we can only be puppets and slaves under the control of foreigners. But now is an opportunity, once Tessie goes to war, we can take the opportunity to develop our own country, and when their war is over, we can also make the country better, and we can also occupy a place in the world, without relying on others, this is the pursuit of everyone since the establishment of foreign affairs. We've tried one approach after another, and now, we've finally found the right path, and then we're just going to do it. ”

Seeing his confident appearance, Zhao Guanhou only smiled and nodded, "I hope so." I will find an opportunity to talk to them about the Restoration Society. It is not easy to move a person in the Capet Concession. Yesterday, Fu Minglou was arrested with the help of Inspector Huang, and it was not so easy to get rid of Chen Wuwei, so I did my best. I don't participate in the peace talks between the north and the south, my wedding, Brother Tang must come. ”

"It's nature."

When he sent the person out of the bank, Chen Lenghe's jade face was also slightly red, and he grabbed Zhao Guanhou's hand and said, "My dear, I want to pay you a sum of money." ”

"What for?"

"Donated to Ge Mingjun's mansion. Now that the North and the South are going to negotiate peace, the next step is definitely to reduce the army. When soldiers are eliminated, they will inevitably be paid severance expenses, and I would like to donate some money to help the government solve the problem of severance of soldiers. By the way, I also made a name for myself, so that the soldiers would know my three words, Chen Lenghe. ”

"Send it to the soldiers, I really don't have a problem with that. After all, in Jiangning, some of these people have also protected you, and they should be given some severance pay. But what is your purpose for making a name for yourself? ”

"Running." Chen Lenghe said confidently: "When Mr. Sun gave a speech overseas, he once said that men and women have equal rights, and that women should be given the right to participate in integrity, and women can be parliamentarians and elect presidents. Can't I run? Even if you are an ordinary councillor, you can ask for the people's lives and supervise the government...... Don't you like me like that? ”

She suddenly remembered a question, if she really became a member of the parliament, the National Assembly meeting, the topic discussion must be inevitable. At that time, there will be men all around, and if Zhao Guanhou is jealous, this matter will indeed be difficult to handle.

Zhao Guanhou shook his head, "I didn't mean that, if you want to run, I will definitely support you." But what you think, according to me, most of the time you can't do. What Emperor Sun promised and what he could do are two different things. If you don't believe me, we'll see. In short, I have no objection to your donation, as for running...... I advise you not to have too much faith just yet. ”

What he said was unknown, and Chen Lenghe's heart was clouded, and he always felt that Zhao Guanhou could not get rid of the shackles, and he attached too much importance to the difference between men and women. But considering that the current social atmosphere is like this, he is always his wife, and he still has to follow his wishes, so he has to suppress his unhappiness in his heart.

In the afternoon, a phone call came, Zhao Guanhou listened to a few words, put down the phone and didn't say anything. Chen Lenghe asked, he just smiled, and then prepared for the wedding.

In the blink of an eye, three days had arrived, and Cao Dingxiu's banquet for closing the female disciples was held as scheduled. Since the establishment of the Cao Gang, although there are white-faced sisters-in-law, they are all helping because of their husbands, and women have entered the threshold, which is the first time to solve the problem. In addition, Chen Lenghe's reputation as beautiful as a fairy has long been spread, not only the old and young in the incense hall that day, but also some good people who are white and white also came here to see the beauty and see the excitement.

Chen Lenghe wore a silk Gu embroidered jacket and pants today, which was neat and neat, but also a little heroic, quite a bit of a son and daughter of the rivers and lakes. Wait until you meet and salute, everything is simple, just go through the motions, then go into a separate private room, and wait until the banquet begins, and then toast a glass at each table, which is regarded as taking care of each other, so as not to know each other in the future.

The third master waited until Chen Lenghe left, looked around, and a pair of iron galls in his hands clanged. "Zhao Abao said that he wanted to give me an explanation, but he didn't know where to explain, this kind of Chenguang, he didn't come to say hello, but it was really the same as he used to be, and there was no one in his eyes!"

After listening to Zhao Guanhou, he smiled slightly, "Uncle, you are wrong to blame him, Fan Gaotou has already come, someone is coming!" Fan Gao, please. ”

The orderly soldiers of the guards outside shouted one after another, and after a short time, two big men walked in from the outside with a huge tray in their hands. The tray is covered with a silver round lid, which looks like a roast suckling pig in a cabbage.

This seat is the chief, the third senior master, Cao Dingxiu and others are all sitting, and they don't know what medicine is sold in the gourd. Until Zhao Guanhou shouted again, "Please Fan Gaotou speak." A big man violently lifted the round lid, and several people looked into the tray.

I saw a bald head with angry eyes rolling in the tray, and the blood was still dry. (To be continued.) )
