Under the sun, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the wide street, elongating the center of the earth, and the shadow of the scenery, whether it was a person or a Luo station.

Although the railway connecting Hebei and Kou Wai has long been completed and opened to traffic, the horse gang and garrison outside the mouth are dying out, but the stubborn business philosophy can not completely disappear in a short period of time, those who have a vision of the resident businessmen have certainly focused on the modern transportation industry, many people have even opened a carriage, car transport company, but for those ordinary small businessmen, as long as the road connecting Hebei and Kou has not been finally completed, then, the horse gang, the garrison can still linger in the cracks, Until it is finally forgotten by people.

There are still many troops stationed in Beijing every day from outside the city. However, not all the resident merchants continue to operate the trade of the past, and now the Xishan side has become a good place for dignitaries to relax and recuperate, and many shrewd businessmen simply use Luo Zhu to operate a tourism industry, just like Beidaihe in the east, the business is not good, but there is no problem to make a living, many students who come to Beijing to study and those foreign businessmen from distant foreign countries are the best customers.

Now, a team of camels that are not very articulate are leisurely walking into the city of Beijing from Deshengmen, standing at the sound of the bell, although the men and women riding on the camels look a little tired, but the look on their faces is still excited, these people are tourists. Gangwang came back from a trip to Tanglin. All of them are still a little unsatisfied.

As an active soldier of the National Defense Forces, Zhang Licheng is now mixed in with this group of tourists, but he is not wearing a military uniform, just a foreign dress, plus the straw hat, he looks a little like a student, although he is a little older, and the vicissitudes on his face are also heavier. Also dressed in the same way as Zhang Licheng were Pai Wenwei, Ji Yushuang, Pan Kangshi, and Yang Banghan, the deputy commander of the Independent Cavalry Division. He was the corps representative of the separate cavalry division.

Yesterday's important military meeting had ended, and Mr. President was in a very good mood, and at the sound of an order, the officers who had come to Beijing for the meeting were given a two-day holiday, so this morning, Zhang Licheng, Yang Banghan, and others made an appointment to go to Tanglin to play, and in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they all dressed up in plain clothes.

Tanglin is the imperial tomb of the Manchu royal family, where the emperors of the Qing Dynasty are buried, and in the past, Han Chinese were forbidden to approach, let alone travel, and after the revolution, the republican government decided to open Tanglin as a "public place" but before the United Front came to power. Tanglin was still regarded as a royal forbidden land by the Manchu royal family who abdicated the country until Zhao Bei became the president of the Republic of China. Order. Tanglin has become a tourist scenic spot. Moreover, the memorial railway dedicated to the Manchu royal family has also become a tourist line

It is said that it is most convenient to take the train to Tanglin, but Zhang Licheng and Yang Banghan and other revolutionary soldiers do not see it that way. They unanimously decided to sit in the past, and in order to avoid the journey being too boring, they even used the relationship of the political propaganda committee to invite a few female students who can sing and dance from several middle schools and universities to be tour guides. It's really not appropriate for a child's relationship.

I went around Tanglin, and on the way back, I don't know who raised it, and suggested that I find a way to dig up the tombs of the emperors of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the future, and report the hatred of the Han people for the death of the country. Of course, everyone is just saying, and now according to the relevant laws announced by the center. Tanglin belongs to the "historical relics" and the city gate building in the capital, not to say that it can be demolished, it has to be voted on by the provincial parliament.

However, this does not hinder everyone's Yaxing. Even after entering the city of Beijing, these men and women who were in the middle of the revolution were still discussing how to demolish the tombs of the Qing emperors as the fastest, and without harming the treasures of the past dynasties in the tombs, especially the ancient paintings and calligraphy that were put into the tombs as burial objects.

"This has to be done by the sappers! It's a pity that Xiong Daiqian is not here. Otherwise, we will have to ask him for advice, he is the number one engineer expert in our Wehrmacht. Yang Banghan suggested.

"Xiong Daiqian won't do this, people are still building railways in Sichuan, in his opinion, the railway is the most important." Zhang Licheng shook his head.

"Isn't it important to hit the Manchus? The flag people have squeezed us for so many years, so we have to be angry, right? A schoolgirl shouted angrily.

"That's it! If it weren't for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, how could we Chinese women wrap their feet into three-inch golden lotus? Another female student was convinced.

"Classmate, what you said is biased. This Chinese woman's small feet can not complain about the Manchu Qing, although the Manchu Qing is not a thing, but the custom of small feet does not have anything to do with the flag people, in fact, when the Eight Banners Network just stole the Central Plains, the flag women almost followed the Han women wrapped their small feet, and later if it was not for the Manchu Emperor to strictly prohibit the flag women from binding their feet, then the current flag women are all small feet. Speaking of which, this can also be seen that the Manchu Emperor's intentions are sinister, Han men are going to kill their heads without braids, and Han women are not bound to their feet but let them do their own thing, what does this mean? This shows that the Manchu Emperor also liked small feet, when the Qianlong Emperor repaired the Old Summer Palace. The garden is dedicated to the collection of Han girls and concubines, and they are all small feet. ”

In the end, it was a showman's background. Pai Wenwei's knowledge is still good, so he couldn't help but correct the wrong opinion of the female student, but he really didn't expect that when he said this, he completely pulled the revolutionary topic aside.

"Really? So when did the bad habit of binding women's feet in China originate? The female students' curiosity is indeed heavy, and they can't help but ask about the show.

"Well, it is said that it originated in the Southern Tang Dynasty during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, and Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, let the palace maids wrap their little feet first, and step on the lotus carved in gold with their small feet, standing unsteadily, swaying. It is good-looking, this is the so-called "step by step lotus", but there is also a saying, saying that this "step by step lotus, the earliest originated in the Southern and Northern Dynasties of the Southern Dynasty court, it is said that Chen Houzhu is the "step by step lotus." The initiator of the Southern Tang Dynasty is just a follower of Dongshi. Of course, no matter which way it is said, the person who created the "three-inch golden lotus" is the king of the dead country, and it seems to be seen that since ancient times, some people have been unimpressed with this woman's foot binding, which is like a Westerner woman who is good at girdling, it is a killing of nature. ”

"Brother Liewu, but you haven't heard of it" King Chu has a thin waist, and there are many hungry arrays in the palace. Is it? During the Warring States Period, the state of Chu was also beautiful with women's thin waists, which shows that Chinese and foreign men's views on women's waists are relatively consistent. Thin-waisted women are much stronger than small-footed women.

Maybe it was because he saw that Pai Wenwei was showing off his knowledge, and Pan Kang who was following him couldn't help but show off a little too, because he was more funny. It caused a burst of laughter from the female students.

Zhang Licheng, who was following behind, couldn't help but smile bitterly, and was thinking about how to bring the topic back to the imperial tomb of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, when he suddenly heard someone on the side of the road shouting his name.

"Licheng! Licheng! ”

Zhang Licheng turned his head to look and saw a person standing by a tea stall on the side of the road, dressed in a long robe. He wore a Western-style top hat on his head, and it was none other than the net.

Like that, Zhang Licheng is also a member of the "Qunzhi Society", and he joined the society earlier, but when the Qunzhi Society went to Henan to exhibit, Zhang Licheng did not follow the past, and after that, Zhang Licheng basically broke off the relationship with the Qunzhi Society, and his personal contact with Muwang was basically broken.

In fact, strictly speaking, the relationship between Zhang Licheng and Deng Wang is very ordinary, Zhang Licheng is from Hubei, Deng Wang is from Guangdong, Zhang Licheng is not highly educated, and has a party background, and that network not only studied, but also graduated from the primary school of the Guangdong 6th Army, the gap between the two is relatively wide, and there is no common language in ordinary times, not to mention, Deng Wang is actually Zhang Licheng's superior, and Zhang Licheng is just a division soldier in the Hubei New Army back then, and it is difficult to have a chance to talk with Deng Wang.

Deng Cai actually remembered Zhang Licheng's name, which made Master Zhang a little surprised, because he couldn't remember Deng Gang's words.

Although the two have parted ways a long time ago, since they have met here, it is naturally not good to walk forward with their necks tilted up. Zhang Licheng confessed to his companions, jumped off the ostrich, and stood on the side of the road to talk to Deng Gang.

"Brother, don't come unharmed. Where are you now? Zhang Licheng arched his hand.

Na Gang sighed and said: "Gao just can't say it, just follow Brother Yang to eat, now Brother Yang is a member of Parliament, and he is also a senior senator, it is no problem to help me find an errand in a foreign bank, I am now running the street in the British Jardine Matheson Foreign Company." No, I'm going to talk to the bristle shop about business today. I saw you on the way. ”

Seeing Deng Wang talking about Yang Wangpeng, Zhang Licheng just nodded and didn't say anything. At the beginning, Yang Wangpeng took the Qunzhi Society to Henan to exhibit, and later formed the Endeavor Association, although these actions were tacitly approved by Zhao Bei, for Zhao Bei, Yang Wangpeng and Endeavor were his potential opponents after all, and later Endeavor would join the United Front, which was just a forced move by Endeavor Society. Endeavor and Yang Wangpeng have never really obeyed Zhao Bei, so when Zhao Bei solved Endeavor by thunderous means, Yang Wangpeng was regarded as a revolutionary idol and placed in the party affairs committee of the United Front, and he was not even qualified to be a general affairs member, which can also be seen Zhao Bei's intention to let Yang Wangpeng fade out of the power circle.

Although after the United Front entered the center. Yang Wangpeng and several other senior cadres of the former Endeavour Association also became members of parliament or government officials. But everyone can see that in the real circle of power, there is no place for Endeavor Society. Knowing this, you can also understand why you can only go to a foreign bank to run the street, Endeavor has long since disappeared, and what remains is just some old and young people who have never forgotten the power in their hands during the revolutionary chaos period.

"Licheng, when did you come to Beijing? If I hadn't been dazzled, the one who walked in front of you just now was Pan Charu, right? ”

Maybe Zhang Licheng didn't pay attention to the true meaning of the word "King Yang", that net. I felt a little emotion in my heart, the Endeavor Association had indeed been disbanded a long time ago, and many members of the original Endeavor Club or the Qunzhi Society had changed their courts, and there were even more people like Zhang Licheng who had taken refuge in Zhao Bei, and his respect for Yang Wangpeng had long since disappeared, but Nawang was not a person who compromised easily, and he decided to continue to have a relationship with Zhang Licheng.

"That's right, it's Pan Charu. Like him, I arrived in Beijing yesterday, and we have a holiday for the past two days, and I will go back to Sichuan the day after tomorrow, and then I will go back to the army. ”

Zhang Licheng said very vaguely: "Where is the headquarters of the Yu Division, this is a military secret, although this military secret may not be a secret to the British for a long time, but this principle of secrecy cannot be shaken, especially when the object of conversation is a foreign firm running the street."
