Time passes quietly like sand inadvertently. The newspaper that carried Zhao Guanshuai's reorganization and prestige in the East flew in the wind, gradually turning yellow and brittle, and finally, turning into pieces of ashes.

At dawn, Jinmen was awakened by the sound of cow hips and the hoarse and desolate voice of the old man who sang Shulaibao.

"Boom, cannon sound, the Northern Expedition is coming to the Geming Party......"

The night faded and the sun rose.

"The common people, their lives are not strong, and they sent Dajin to Beiyang

Today we want food, we want pay, and we will pull our son to the battlefield

Blue eyes, high nose bridge, overseas forgetfulness is better than people

Concession land, good place, a big basket of defeated generals"

Wang Fool, whose clothes are still full of patches, and his two trouser legs, one long and one short, have not changed much compared to when he sang in the Jinmen Teahouse decades ago, except that his hair has become snow-white and his back has become rickety. His voice was still hoarse, and his lips were chapped, but the old man sang very energetically, staggering and struggling forward, tenaciously letting himself count the treasures, resounding through the nine rivers.

The red days are getting higher and the sun is shining, and today is destined to be a good day.

"To say good, the poor people's party, beat away the land thieves and get two wide

Take Sichuan, occupy Songjiang, and who can be injured by the heavenly soldiers and generals

Divide the land, tax-free grain, and the poor buddies turn over and belong

Wu Ziyu, the king of the Northeast, also suffered when he met the poor

Throw away the armor, the swords and the guns, and all the brethren surrender."

A chant woke up people's dreams, although the smoke of the south has not yet drifted to Jinmen, but the people have already felt the light called hope, not far from themselves.

The newsboy ran on the street, shouting loudly: "Outside the nickname, Zhao Guanshuai is electrified and sent to the field, and Shandong will be resolved by negotiation in the future." Peace between the north and the south is hopeful, and the nickname is ......"

On the dock, several steam gunboats were ready to go, and a large number of soldiers in bright armor maintained order and protected the mountain of cages. These soldiers were not very old, they were not yet twenty years old, they were strong and vigorous. A brand new sky-blue military uniform that stands out in daylight. Ten years ago, when the Kyogo officially conquered the East, there have been many similar scenes, but today, these soldiers are not strong men who have gone out for the country, but wanderers who have since left their homeland.

Several middle-aged soldiers in old Beiyang military uniforms walked up the gangway with the support of the soldiers, and the leader looked at these soldiers and said to the man beside him: "Brother, look at the fourth child, I have trained such a youth model regiment to come out." Look at you again, you took care of the account for me for a long time, but Ziyu couldn't pay the military salary on the front line, how can you win? ”

The latter was not convinced, "Brother, you can't talk about me." Shandong has a military salary, and there is a model army, but what about it? Isn't it still in the wild? Besides, Zou Xiurong and Chen Lenghe, the female gods of wealth, are all against fighting a civil war, so where are we going to make money......"

"Don't talk nonsense, when we get there, you'll know that the Youth Army is powerful. I heard that Nian Zu and Bao Ci have a good foundation in South America, and they didn't rely on the youth army to fight it? When you get there, let's learn from others. The fourth child is more hearty than us, and since the time of the Shandong War, he began to lay out and pour money overseas through Jensen. Until now, in addition to the land and real estate, the antiques in those houses, so many gold and silver treasures have been replaced with foreign pounds and taken out, and even the furniture is left. Look at us, we have left so many belongings, far worse than him. ”

"Now there are tens of thousands of overseas Shandong immigrants and the fourth brother's henchman, and they are still in contact with the long-haired relics back then, saying that they want to set up some self-made collar. With the support of the Citiers and the Albians behind them, this can probably be done, do you go over there, or become president? ”

The man shook his head and said, "I don't want that." I've been the president all these years, and I've been the one who has eaten too much and continued to be that? I figured it out, the fourth child understands people, and he can see that the president is not a fire kang or a fire pit, and the whole is also a fire pit, so not only does he not jump, but he also doesn't let his family jump. Several chiefs resigned one after another, and when they were free kings, let's rush in like fools, and what will happen in the end? If you want to go, you can't go so neatly as he is. This is back in a foreign country, and I am at ease to be my own rich man, and I don't care about anything. Listen to Peking Opera with Uncle Zhen every day, and then watch movies, that's the life of people, and that grandson is the president. ”

The group got on the boat while talking, followed by several men, and an elderly woman suddenly turned around and said, "Where are the fourth brother and sister?" Why haven't you come yet? ”

"Let's go to us first, he has less luggage, so it's good. I guess which schoolgirl got entangled again, right? ”

While he was talking, there was suddenly chaos on the dock, but I saw two teenagers wearing peaked caps, leather jackets and tight leather pants, bowing their heads and cats, each stepping on a skateboard to drill around in the crowd. When the skateboard is still a rare thing, not to mention that among the people who board the boat on the dock, there are both former President Cao Zhongkun and several Shimono overseers. Although the Northern Expeditionary Army has not fought now, the vigilance it should be will not relax because of this.

The guards immediately raised their vigilance, Cao Zhongkun's eyes were sharp, and he laughed: "Put the guys away, break their little oilskin, and look at their heads carefully." Yingci, Jianci, why did you two naughty bags come here first, what about your parents? ”

In the back, Dad said that he wanted to take a look at his hometown with Big Mom and stay for a while. It's all a broken house, nothing to look at, we came here first, does the godfather see us awesome? ”

The two young men stood up, handsomely kicked up the skateboard and held it in their hands, full of heroism. Both of them are seventeen or eighteen years old, and their appearance is almost the same, and it is clear at a glance that they are twins. The average bright eyes and bright teeth, the same white skin is better than snow, and the beauty of the appearance is as straight as a heavenly person, even the first-class movie stars are never as good as them. Behind Cao Zhongkun, several nephews looked at both of them with a dull gaze, but they were pinched by their mother on the waist.

"Useless things, what's the use of just looking at it, people don't look down on you, your father has been rejected three times, and your mother has been rejected countless times. Don't look ugly for us anymore, and look at the undead less. These two unlucky children, the Songjiang mother who died with them, was hypocritical. ”

After a short time, a large group of people in the distance walked towards the dock. The man in the middle wearing a windbreaker and a top hat, holding a Luzon cigar in his mouth, and holding a cane is no longer young, but his demeanor is chic, and when he wears it, he is a little more calm and domineering than that of young people, which makes many young women who watch the excitement can't help but be fascinated. Some female students suddenly ripped their necks and shouted, "Guanshuai, we love you forever!" Stay, don't go! ”

The man waved his hand and said goodbye to those girls, and beside him, the two women, one on the left and one on the right, coughed dryly almost at the same time, making Zhao Guanhou's hand fall again.

Although the two women have passed away in their youth, they still maintain a dignified demeanor and outstanding appearance, which attracts attention. Some people have recognized that one of them is Su Hanzhi, the best female writer in the world, and the other is the former Jin relict Shi Gege, Wan Yan Yuqing. Behind them, the young children each held their luggage and pointed at their father who was eating and laughing, and a few little guys surrounded Zhao Guanhou, and his grandfather kept shouting.

The daughter of the Zhao family, Xiaoci, was dressed in a Taixi skirt, dignified and charming, like a noblewoman. She made an umbrella for Su Hanzhi to shade the sun, and supported her eldest mother to remind her to pay attention to her feet. Because of the relationship when he was young, even if he grew up and was married to a wife, he was still close to Su Hanzhi, but he was a little worse than his biological mother Yuqing.

Anna, who has already become a standard Tessie beauty, is dressed in a princess dress, like a famous lady, leading the way in front of Zhao Guanhou. Although she always wanted to take Master's arm and walk, it was a pity that one left and one right were occupied, so she had no choice but to glare at the yelling female students and mutter: If you don't want to leave, I will beat you all into pigs' heads, Master is mine, no one wants to rob it.

This dignified and generous-looking Tiele beauty, only those who have dealt with her know how cruel and terrible the Tiele Witch is. In the past few years, it is difficult to count the scholars who have died in her hands, and naturally she can only walk with her master at this time.

When he got on the boat, Yingci Jianci suddenly stepped on a skateboard and rushed out from both sides, pounced on his father's side, and laughed: "Dad, we just got the phone call of three waitresses, isn't it great?" As I said, our sisters wear men's clothes, and they definitely like girls more than our fathers, do you think that's the case? In the future, if any girl likes her father again, we will cheat her away, so that you will not have a chance to incur new debts. ”

Zhao Guanhou looked at the two of them and slapped them on each of their heads with his hand

"Naughty, naughty! Of course you two are great, burning your Aunt Sai's soil in Songjiang, making trouble in your Aunt Zou's factory, organizing students to dominate classes in Aunt Yu's school, who else is better than you? I sent you to study, but you learned what people were making trouble about, and shouting for the poor in the world! Are you poor? What does it matter to you to get a place for them! ”

Yuqing has always been dissatisfied with the mother of the two and the two of them, so she followed in a cold voice, "Now you are happy, your father went overseas for you, so you don't have to shout anything at home against feudalism and defeat the warlords." ”

"Mom, we didn't shout, we did it. You see, on the battlefield of Songjiang, more than 40,000 people trained by Uncle Ryan revolted in front of the battle, is this what the people want? Today, warlords are doomed. Isn't it nice that dad and goddad aren't warlords? Only without warlords can China truly have a future and development......"

Before the words fell, Zhao Guanhou patted the two of them on the head again, "Go back to the cabin." I chose to go abroad this time because I didn't want my family to have anything to do with Ge Ming. I've been a warlord all my life, do you want my children to come to me? Go overseas and build your planes well. Aren't you interested in flying in the sky? I asked you to respect Brother Ci, registered the Zhao sister aircraft company for you, and cooperated with Citi people to build the world's first aircraft. If you think about this, don't think about saving China or bringing down the warlords. ”

"Then we need your help, Dad, otherwise how can we make it." The two knew that their father was fond of them, and they would not really beat or punish them, so they laughed a few words and ran to the cabin. Sai Jinhua said: "Don't blame them, burning a lot of soil is nothing more than losing some money, I really don't blame them." Child, how can there be anything that is not naughty. ”

Zou Xiurong also smiled: "They did the right thing, if Siyuan and I were at their age, the choices we made would be the same as theirs." Our time has passed, and the time of the poor has come. It's time for us to make way. ”

Feng Xi became more and more inferior because of his age, and when he heard the mention of the Poor People's Party, he was even more ashamed. Because among the armies leading the Northern Expedition this time, the army with the strongest combat effectiveness and the most courageous battle was commanded by his brother Ma Guojie. Even a few Beiyang troops defected, and Ma Guojie ran out the most.

She came to Zhao Guanhou, bowed her head and said, "Master, I'm sorry...... You...... Punish me. ”

"Don't punish Fengxi's mother, Fengxi's mother didn't do anything wrong, and my uncle didn't do anything wrong. If Dad bullies Fengxi's mother, Fengxi's mother, you won't cook for the whole family, and ensure that Dad will take the initiative to surrender. "The family has always loved to fight and hold grievances, although she has become a big girl, but she has not yet married, and her temper has not changed. Seeing that Feng Xi's own daughter Xici didn't dare to argue, he took the initiative to come forward, but instead scared his mother Cheng Yue enough, and pulled her hand back again and again.

Zhao Guanhou stretched out his hand and knocked on her head, "I warn you, it is enough for our family to have Yingci Jianci to make trouble with Ge Ming, and there is no need for a third Ge Ming Party." If you dare to come out more, your father will marry you. ”

"I don't believe it. Dad is the most talker about free love, so he won't marry me. ”

Seeing the father and daughter staring at each other, Ah Jiu hurriedly walked up, pulled Aici and said, "Miss, the master won't really be angry with Mrs. Fengxi." This time I went to the field, and it was also the master's own meaning, don't think about it. Let's go, let's move things down first. ”

The whistle sounded, the ship was about to set sail, and Zhao Guanhou stood on the side of the ship and looked at the Tianjin Gate. At some point, Chen Lenghe was already standing behind him and put a coat over him.

"You're all old, don't treat yourself as a young man, the sea breeze blows, and you catch a cold at night, so you don't want us to serve you."

"Yes, you've worked so hard to serve me, so when I get to South America, I'll find a group of local indigenous girls to serve me. Jing Ci and Nian Zu have done a very good job in South America, we now have more than 100,000 people, and many young girls are making me kings, if I say that I am recruiting life secretaries......"

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Matsue, who seemed to be as beautiful as she could fight against the laws of nature, had already screwed the ears of the Shimono Overseer, "What are you going to do?" I'm telling you, we've already had a meeting, and you, the Overseer of the Lower Field, have lost the right to poach from today. If you are caught by us, even if it is Sister Su, we will not let you go. In South America, there are Jenson and Hannah, and what kind of queen is there, we have enough foreigners, you are not allowed to look for them again. Otherwise, it's good to have you. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, snuggled together, watching their hometown get farther and farther away, gradually becoming smaller and disappearing in their eyes.

Chen Lenghe suddenly asked: "I didn't help you raise military expenses this time, do you blame me?" ”

"What do you blame? I never wanted to be a big president, so I'd rather have Brother Zhang, a bandit leader, be the leader, and I don't deserve it. No matter how big my head is, how big a hat I wear, I can't care about a country, so why bother to climb into that position? This time, whether it is you, Anne, or Jensen, you don't help me raise money because you don't want me to waste money, and I thank you too late, so how can it be strange. In fact, I also know that I can't win. Just like what I said to Brother Guojie back then, if China wants to be not afraid of foreign powers and foreigners, only if there is an organization that really speaks for the welfare of the majority of the poor can there be hope. This organization, Qianjin can't do it, Beiyang can't do it, and the poor party can do it, so it's a matter of course for them to win against us. We only have weapons and silver dollars, and we have no idealism, how can we defeat the poor party soldiers with ideals and beliefs? Wu Ziyu compared himself to King Guan, but he couldn't see through this, and I had no choice but to let him go. Fortunately, most people still choose to leave, especially you. Yuzhu and Meiyao gave up their positions as overseers to go overseas with me, why didn't you give up being a female prime minister, and the opportunity for a female upright family to go with me? If you stay, I believe that you will do a very good job in the new China, and even in the future history, you will also leave a strong mark. ”

"But so what?" Chen Lenghe smiled and leaned in front of her husband. "Even if I succeed in what I do, what's the point of not having you by my side. You, don't try to get rid of me. As Anna said, you protected her at the beginning, and now it's her turn to protect you, and so am I. ”

"Stinky girl, do I still use her to protect? The country we went to was very weak in force, and with a few hundred men, we could call ourselves colonels and become the heroes of one side. I have 3,000 bullets, 500 ephemerals, plus people like Ryanstein and Li Zongyun, as well as my model regiment and Tiele and Prussian foreign soldiers, only people are afraid of me, and no one is afraid of me. Nianzu's son-in-law is good, filial piety is very good at selecting people, and the two brothers Jingci and Baoci have a hand in leading the troops, so we can sit back and relax. As long as you don't want to undermine the interests of the great powers, you won't be in trouble. What's more, this time, our cooperation with foreigners has been very successful, and in the future, they will rely on us to act as agents there to help them eliminate dissidents and maintain colonial rule. Therefore, as long as our pair of living treasures don't think about Ge Ming in Taixi and what kind of poor people turn over, we will be safe and continue to be rich. When the time comes, maybe there will really be a foreign girl begging to be my life secretary. ”

Macau, Switzerland, Citigroup, Albiang, and several countries have invested in Zhao Guanhou, who is not worried about the livelihood of himself and his descendants. Although wealth cannot be passed on from generation to generation, it is not a problem for future generations to live a good life on rentier in their lifetime, and he has no other pursuits.

At this time, a tiger-headed boy in the cabin ran out, grabbed Zhao Guanhou and said, "Grandpa, Aunt Yingci is bad, don't give me paper airplanes to play with, help me beat my aunt." ”

Zhao Guanhou said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, Zhiliang, my aunt's plane was still taught by my grandfather to fold it, and I will help you if she doesn't help you." ”

A piece of paper in Zhao Guanhou's hand quickly turned into a paper airplane, Zhao Jiasun clapped his hands excitedly, took the plane in his hand, ran on the board for a while, and threw the plane into the sky. The plane flew towards the sun, flying farther and farther with the wind, higher and higher.

The sea and the sky are on the line, the red sun is rising, and the golden light is sprinkled all over the land of Kyushu, and the mountains and rivers of the ten directions.

It's dawn.
