Meng Siyuan seemed to have expected this problem, but he didn't panic at all, "Fourth, I still remember you said to me, I am doing things, you are a person." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info When I do things, I think about whether this thing is good or bad, and what the future holds; when you do things, you think about whether it is good for the people who do it, and what results they will have. That's why I have to be right, and you have to win people's hearts, and that's the difference between us. I have memorized all these words, and I have actually expected your question. Did you think of the flag city of Chang'an and Wuchang? ”

"That's pretty much it, as far as I know, this is not a slander, and Albion's missionaries in Chang'an have also reported to the Albion embassy."

"Ge Mingjun's situation...... Or the composition, it's complicated. They included the Forces nouvelles, the townspeople, and the Hui Party. This kind of massacre was carried out by the people's army composed of the Hui Party, who did not understand doctrine, had a relatively primitive way of thinking, and admired barbaric and brutal methods. Because of the rebellion of Qicheng, there was such a massacre, which was also the cause of the massacre. Mr. Sun himself was opposed to such a massacre, and he sent a telegram from Yankee to clearly instruct that the program of our Ge Ming army was the unity of the five tribes, including the banner people. As long as they don't resist to the end, Ge Mingjun will give them a way out. As for those members of the party, they did not follow Mr. Sun's orders, and it is difficult for us to restrain those actions for the time being. ”

He also explained, "I'm not unshouldering, I'm telling the facts, and I also regret what happened in Chang'an and Wuchang." But please also ask the fourth child to think about how many Han people they killed when they seized the Central Plains. These people are also avenging their ancestors, and it is not good to be harsh. As for Shigege and King Qing, I was thinking about the national righteousness and the defense of the banner and the Han Dynasty. If you think about it, there is a banner personality sleeping next to you, always thinking about recovering the country, and he will not be kind to Ge Ming. Although you are the governor of Shandong, you are not your own small kingdom, and Comrade Ge Ming will inevitably work here, and when the time comes, they will be incompatible with each other, which will lead to tragedy. But now, my mind has changed, since Mr. Sun said that the five tribes are united, then we should act according to Mr. Sun's instructions. Ten Gege, King Qing, they are all within the scope of the commonality. In Songjiang, Xiurong and I learned a white-faced man's words and gossip. Today, I will gossip with the fourth child, as long as you Shandong announces the recovery and removes the Yellow Dragon Banner, you will be responsible for disposing of all the bannermen in your territory, and Ge Mingzhengfu will not interfere. ”

Zhao Guanhou smiled, "Shibei for three days, impressive, the second brother is indeed more capable than at the beginning." My second sister-in-law knows Ge Ming's attitude, and my attitude has not changed until now. ”

Zou Xiurong took a step forward, "Fourth, sister-in-law, in the eyes of my sister-in-law, you are like my little brother, if anyone wants to harm you, I will be the first to refuse." But if you have anything wrong, I will also say. You're not thinking right. Shandong is the Shandong of the Chinese, not your Shandong, and you can't see this as something in your pocket. You are the governor of the capital, but there will definitely be other colleagues to manage Shandong's civil affairs and finances with you, if all the power is handed over to you, and outsiders are not allowed to come in, Shandong will become a country within a country, think about it, is there such a reason? ”

Zhao Guanhou smiled, "Sister-in-law, you are right, but I laid this foundation, of course I don't want outsiders to share it." One more thing that I don't see, you know the relationship between me and Jensen, if someone else is in charge of finances, will Jensen buy it? Will the consuls of several countries nod their heads? When the time comes, if there is a dispute, you will suffer yourself, won't you? Of course, this is not a matter for me to decide on a word, so I can go back and ask the people in the Advisory Council to discuss it and make a decision based on everyone's opinions. Until the outcome is reached, my subordinates and I will be strictly neutral and will not participate in the war. ”

After the last turmoil of the self-made army, the entire Shandong Consultative Bureau has in fact existed in name only, with no right to consult, let alone anything to discuss, in fact, it is a marionette in the hands of the governor of Shandong, and he can do whatever he wants.

The speaker of the parliament is concurrently served by Wang Hexuan, who is already a gentleman, and he is also a friend of Zhao Guanhou, and he is the chairman of the advisory bureau, and his position is not known. Zhao Guanhou said this, it is a pretext, but a strict neutral attitude is also a great gain. For Meng Siyuan and his wife, as long as the Fifth Town does not participate in the southward battle, the entire overall situation can be stabilized.

As soon as this matter was agreed, the atmosphere between them became more harmonious, and Zhao Guanhou asked about the Huguang military again. Zou Xiurong did not hide it

"Hubei, it is expected to recruit a new army of the five associations. As a result, it didn't take two days to recruit all of them. The soldiers were not starving people who had lost their land and had no way out, but townspeople, small merchants, and apprentices in factories. They all have a bite to eat, and they can work and live with peace of mind, but they have no hesitation to devote themselves to Ge Ming, ready to donate their lives at any time, why do you say? Because they want to live like individuals, and they don't want to be dominated by other races. The first thing everyone did was for the men to cut off their braids and for the women to put their feet. ”

She is a Western-style style, and when it comes to women's feet, she doesn't feel shy, but talks about the harm of foot binding to women, and Meng Siyuan is not surprised. She then added:

"In terms of clothing, I haven't decided what kind of clothes to restore for the time being, but the robe and gown will definitely not be worn. But the suit ...... It's too Western, it doesn't have our own characteristics, and it's not promoted. ”

Zhao Guanhou smiled bitterly, "This is troublesome, my clothes are not allowed to be worn except for robes and suits, what am I wearing?" ”

"Don't interrupt! Who is not like this? When the time comes, there will naturally be new clothes designed, and there will always be new clothes to wear. Actually, Siyuan and I are both wearing suits, so it doesn't matter. It is not advocated, it is not opposed, Ge Mingzhengfu will not do anything like the barbaric Dajin, keep his head without hair, and keep his hair without his head. At most, it is to meet those stubborn people and forcibly cut off their braids, which is also for their good. Didn't Shandong implement the health law and collect health taxes very early? A lot of people don't have braids, and that's not a problem for you. ”

Zhao Guanhou was long before Ge Ming, in Shandong by collecting taxes, and anyone with braids had to pay additional health taxes, so as to encourage people to take the initiative to cut braids. Of course, there are also some people who insist on not cutting, and Shandong will not be reluctant.

He smiled: "Then I understand, as long as life is still the same, Ge Ming, who does not engage in murder and arson, I welcome everything." The details, we can discuss it slowly, and the second brother and sister-in-law should also go home and see the old lady. On the other side of the Zou house, it was Zhai Weng who was looking after the house for his second sister-in-law, and there was nothing to do. If Ze Weng is not used to living in Songjiang, he can also go back to Shandong to live. ”

Zou Xiurong said: "I don't want to thank you, then I will see the outside." Dad is doing well in Songjiang, and he runs Shantang with your father-in-law, and his life is very fulfilling, and he may not come back in a short time. You also know that once the war starts, there will inevitably be a large number of refugees in Songjiang, and these people will need to be resettled, and they can't do without people at this time. ”

"Then there's Lazeron, and all he can say to my father-in-law is all right. Originally, I thought that a Shandong person, a Songjiang person, could not communicate, but now it seems that I want to be bad. The second sister-in-law went to see a few little hairy heads in my family, and Cuiyu gave birth to a son for me, the big name was not given, and the small name was Tianfu, the same, I want to call you a godmother. ”

Meng Siyuan understood that this was Zhao Guanhou's intention to transfer Zou Xiurong away, so that he could go home to visit his mother and see the Liu family by the way, otherwise the two would go home together and face each other at the third end, and they would be embarrassed.

There are more and more Beiyang soldiers crossing the border. Due to the delay in the second army, Chengfeng could only change its course, appointed Feng Yuzhang as the commander of the second army, and led the third town to merge with the first mixed association in Henan, and the thirty-ninth association in the twentieth town, and went south to attack the main mansion of the Huguang army.

The main force of the army passed through Henan and went to Huguang, which had little to do with Shandong, but Yin Sheng wanted to make a detour to Shandong, especially to see Zhao Guanhou, so that he sent a telegram ordering his troops to enter Shandong, and he was hereby taken care of.

As soon as this telegram arrived, it first aroused Reinstein's suspicions. He touched his mustache and frowned slightly, "Our great emperor's best friend, do you want to perform a traditional Chinese drama Hongmen Banquet?" The troops of the Association entered Shandong...... If we do it, how long will it take to disarm them all? ”

"About ten minutes." Zhao Guanhou said with a smile: "This association is the eleventh association under the jurisdiction of the sixth town, and the association is my sworn brother Li Xiushan." In Baicheng, it is we who rescue him from the encirclement of the Rouran people, otherwise he will be martyred. This person is his own person, even his co-ordinator, I also helped him do it, I said a word, he may help me catch Yin Sheng more than help me catch him, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. ”

"But it's also dangerous to get on the train hastily, because it's not our sphere of influence."

"If the Fifth Town loses me, there is still a chief of staff who can command, and with your talent, it won't take much effort to solve Yin Sheng. Look at Yin Sheng in turn, use yourself as bait and arrest me? If you borrow a few guts from him, he won't do that kind of thing, he just wants to come and talk to me. Although the two armies seem to be very large, they lack confidence. After all, there are not many troops with actual combat experience, and I still fight a lot of soldiers. With the guidance of you, the chief of staff, if there is a war, it is more than enough for me to fight one town and two towns for him, so I just have to go, and there is no hindrance. ”

Having said that, but Shandong's attitude towards the imperial court was too high, Yuqing was still not at ease, and when he got in the car, he deliberately asked Cheng Zhen to accompany Zhao Guanhou to go with him.

After the news of Shaanxi's recovery came, Cheng Zhen had already entered Shandong, and Li Lianying was only the difference between the front and rear feet. His Baylor identity is enough to suppress Yin Sheng, and with him going with him, he is foolproof.

Yin Sheng was riding a blue steel special train, and when he entered from the door, he could see twenty guards with long bodies, two guns at their waists, and machetes behind their backs, lined up in two columns. They were wearing new-style sky-blue military uniforms, but their heads were all old official hats of Dajin, all of which were red-topped, and they actually used twenty second-grade military attaches to serve as their own guards.

As soon as people got into the car, someone shouted, "Lizheng!" The twenty second-rank officers knocked their heels together and gave a neat military salute.

Yin Sheng had already walked out of the carriage with a smile on his face at this time, and when he saw him, he saluted: "Zhen Beile, you are here too?" How did you say this, something you never thought of, come and sit down. Guanhou, it's really hard for you to invite, I won't come in person, I'm afraid I won't see you yet, how is it, how is the foot disease? ”

Zhao Guanhou looked at him with a smile on his face, knowing that he was harmless, and returned the salute with a smile, "The foot disease is very bad, most of them are going to be vacant and return home." ”

"You...... Your mouth is really unforgiving. Yin Sheng smiled and pulled him, "If you want me to say, if you marry a few less aunts, everything will be fine." Come on, come and sit down, and see who I've invited. ”

There was a hardwood Eight Immortals in the carriage long ago, with a pair of mahjong on it, and a large couch on the other side, on which there were good smoking utensils. When Cheng Zhen saw it, he went up first, "I have to come here to taste this." Yin Sheng clapped his hands, and two lovely-looking maids turned out, waiting to make smoke bubbles for Chengzhen.

At the mahjong table, the two escorts, all dressed in military uniforms and wearing treasure stars on their chests, were Cao Zhongkun and Li Xiushan.

After Cao Zhongkun returned from the three eastern provinces, the official Fu was like fire, and he was promoted all the way, and Cheng Zhen went north to take office, and Cao Zhongkun protected the whole process. Even when Cheng Zhen was searching outside the gate, Cao Zhongkun's department also contributed a lot, often wiping his face with black ash, pretending to be a strong beam with a cut diameter, and all the funds obtained went into Cheng Zhen's private pocket. Therefore, Cheng Zhen and King Qing protected him, and now Cao Zhongkun is the commander of the third town of the army, and he has also made a fortune outside the customs.

When the three of them met, they exchanged pleasantries, and Yin Sheng said: "Guanhou, I knew that you were angry at home." There's no way, inviting your two sworn brothers here is to persuade you. You're not right, how can you delay your business for the sake of your own temper. If you have a foot disease, you are holding grievances for Rong An, but when it comes to friendship, you don't like to listen to what I say, I met Rong An much earlier than you. At the beginning, the fifth master wanted to kill him, and I was also in the capital to protect it, and at that time, I had to roll the nail board with the fifth master, and finally saved Rong An. Otherwise, he wouldn't be as simple as opening a vacancy. Now when the court employs people, we have great grievances, first put it back, and wait until the chaotic party is destroyed, and then it's not too late to reason, right? ”

Zhao Guanhou didn't answer, but came to the mahjong table, "Mahjong, foreign medicine, beauty, if there is a good wine and a good cook, Wu Weng will supervise this time, even if the preparation is complete." ”

Yin Sheng smiled proudly, "You say this, I have all of this." Just say what you want to eat, I have someone to cook it. Good wine, foreign wine has brandy whisky, our Chinese Shaojiu Moutai, everything. Come on, sit down and play cards. I'm still looking for Uncle Zhen in Beijing, thinking that we have to come together to persuade your brother-in-law, but I didn't expect you to come earlier than me. ”

Cheng Zhen smoked a big cigarette, and his fugue was too empty, until he smoked a few puffs in a row, and then said, "This thing...... Don't look for me, I don't care about this. You know my temper, idle clouds and wild cranes, no intention of doing business, this kind of thing, I am annoyed, don't ask me, I don't know anything. What should you do, just do it, I am Xu Shu into Cao Ying, without saying a word. ”

"Don't, don't you look at me funny. What I am capable of, you don't know yet, I am a layman when it comes to war, and the more I mix, the worse it gets. Yin Sheng looked at Zhao Guanhou, "Do you think I don't have the meaning of a main general?" You don't understand, I don't understand military affairs, if you go to the front line and take a telescope with them to look at it, or you don't compare it with the map, it's called delay. You say that if I command them to listen to me or not, if they don't listen, what is the use of me as the commander? Listen, then you will definitely suffer. So I might as well stay here to eat, drink and have fun, so that the soldiers can rest assured that I, the main general, will play like this, and I will be fine. As for the affairs of the war, I will leave it to the people who understand it, and let them fight, so I specially came to Shandong to borrow Zhao Yun. Guanhou, why don't you give me this face?
