Chapter 42: If you want to do it, do it yourself

The news of the construction of a ****** in Qingdao spread quickly, and many people moved about it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Those foreigners are running for a larger share of the ******, and those Chinese, their behavior is strange. In the streets and alleys of Beijing, a lot of messy things are happening.

"Resolutely oppose the cession of sacred territories! Zhao Guangde came out to apologize! A group of student-looking people and flag-bearers shouted.

"Resolutely oppose the closure of the country and the death of patriotic thieves!" It's a gang of green-skinned thugs.

"The Russians stole the three northeastern provinces, and the princes of the dynasty turned a blind eye, it is really a vegetarian corpse, long live Li Hongzhang's pastemaker!" This is anti-loyalty.

"Zhang Zhidong is the most hateful, it's okay to just eat and not work, now rely on the circle of friends of their Hubei hometown to govern the country, Zhang Nanpi step down!"

All kinds of messy bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods came out after Li Hongzhang and Zhang Zhidong entered the capital, like mushrooms after a rain, stubble after stubble.

Zhang Zhidong looked at the people marching outside, and he was so angry that he trembled. Even if he likes to promote Hubei people, it can't be said that he is a circle of friends to govern the country, his hometown is Nanpi, Hebei, and he is not from Hubei. Besides, in addition to the two lakes, he can now manage a small part of the capital and Tianjin. Out of Zhongnanhai, his words didn't work so well.

He said angrily to Duan Qirui, the newly appointed commander of the Beijing garrison with a cold face beside him: "You just watch them mess around like this? Why don't you send troops to disperse them! ”

Duan Qirui glanced at Zhang Zhidong, and before he could speak, Xu Shuzheng, who had always been by his side, smiled and said: "Why should Xiangshuai be angry, it's just some clowns who jump off the beam, they can just shout slogans." ”

"This is the freedom and democracy that you new people are seeking?" Zhang Zhidong shook his head, "I don't see any use for such freedom and democracy, it will only make the whole country more chaotic." ”

"You don't know this," Xu Shuzheng said: "Our friends in the United States, Britain, and Japan have all asked us to carry out reform and opening up, saying that this is how we can make the country stable for a long time." ”

"Hmph, a fart for a long time," Zhang Zhidong also led troops to fight, and came as soon as he opened his mouth to speak foul language, "What kind intentions can those foreign devils have, what they approve of is exactly what we want to oppose!" ”

Although he is a little old, Zhang Zhidong still has an angry heart. For foreign devils, he doesn't have a good impression at all. Similarly, as an old-school figure, he is also unaccustomed to many young people now. Especially the Xu Shuzheng in front of him, in his eyes, he is the most hateful.

Li Hongzhang doesn't care about anything now, he drinks tea in the office every day, and then goes out to listen to the play in the afternoon, and all government affairs are thrown to Vice President Zhang Zhidong. This made Zhang Zhidong very happy, but within a few days he found that he couldn't do anything.

There is a large group of foreign devils in Tianjin, and he can't control it. Things outside the capital, except for the two lakes and some incense, he can't command any other places. Even in this Beijing city, most of the things were robbed by the garrison headquarters, including the things owed in Chonglimen, which were also robbed by the Beiyang Army who changed into black and white police uniforms.

This is really unbearable for uncles, but aunts can't bear it.

And now, someone is scolding him by name on the street, so he broke out all at once.

"If your garrison headquarters can't do this, I can transfer a few battalion leaders from Wuchang!" Zhang Zhidong said: "This is also within the authority of my vice president!" ”

Duan Qirui's face moved slightly, and then he said lightly: "Xiang Shuai is serious." Although these people speak a little aggressively, they do not act in substance. If we can't make people talk like this, I'm afraid that outsiders will say that we are blocking the way of speech, and finally become a situation where the road of the people of the country is the goal, which is not good. ”

Zhang Zhidong squinted at Duan Qirui, he was a serious Jinshi, and thought: At your level, you are also dragging the text in front of me? He said impatiently: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, just watch them mess around like this?" ”

"Don't worry, when the limelight passes for a while, they won't come out to make trouble again."

"How do you know?" Zhang Zhidong said: "Do you dare to make a military order? ”

Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng were both stunned, what age are they, and they still play the drama of the military order? In the past, there were rumors that Zhang Nanpi (Zhang Zhidong is a native of Nanpi, Hebei, from which he got his name) fought in a confused war, and they didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that this rumor is likely to be true......

"There is no need for the military order," Duan Qirui said helplessly: "You are an old-timer, and I won't talk to you." These people are just those foreign devils and some people who have pushed them out to create public opinion, and after the matter in Qingdao is settled, they will naturally not make trouble again. ”

"Qingdao?" Zhang Zhidong was stunned for a moment, what is this, and this matter is not under his Zhang Zhidong's responsibility, why do you want to scold him?

"Well, they're not here to scold you. You see, Mr. Li also scolded. ”

"Is this no one to take care of them?"

"The current Provisional Statute stipulates that citizens have the right to march and form associations, so it .........."

No matter how Zhang Zhidong coerced and lured, Duan Qirui just refused to do what he said anyway. In the end, Zhang Zhidong couldn't do it, so he had to go. Then, Zhang Nanpi, who had a violent temper and was a cautious eye, wrote down Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng beside him in his own small notebook.

"Teacher, this Nanpi is really old and confused," after Zhang Zhidong left, Xu Shuzheng couldn't help but say: "Such a person can also be the vice president?" And the current president is too, he just drinks tea and listens to dramas every day, and he doesn't care about anything. In my opinion, the position of the president might as well be sat down, teacher! ”

"Nonsense," although Duan Qirui was reprimanding, there was already a smile in the corner of his eyes, "Where am I qualified to be the president." Besides, is the position of the president so easy to sit in? It's a big fire pit, and whoever sits on it will be unlucky. ”

Is it really a big fire pit? Perhaps. Otherwise, how could there be so many moths that couldn't help but pounce up.

Li Hongzhang, who was listening to the play in the teahouse, listened to the news from the people below, smiled slightly, and said: "We don't have to worry about this, we just eat, drink and have fun every day." ”

"But you're the president!" The messenger said indignantly: "Now I will confess you as a puppet." ”

"Oh, so what should I do?"

"In my opinion, as long as you raise your arms, President, there will be countless loyal people who will stand up, sweep away the treacherous evil, take back all your rights, and make you a veritable president!"

"That's a good thing," Li Hongzhang applauded, and then shook his head and said: "But I'm too old to do this kind of thing, if you want to do it, just do it yourself!" (To be continued.) )
