After the luncheon, the members of the two parties dispersed, and the members of the Kuomintang delegation to the north were arranged to live on the second floor of the welcome building. Luo Yaoguo, who has long known that Yanjing will be a place of right and wrong, has arranged his new wife Lu Xiaobei in Tianjin, so his "honeymoon trip" is over. Luo Yaoguo's suite is on the easternmost side of the second floor, the room is very spacious, and the interior layout is also very luxurious and elegant, with a little bit of great country style.

At this time, most of the GCD side has left, and the GCD is about to hold the Fourth National Congress, which is a little later than another time and space, but its historical significance is not much more important. This is because this is a national congress before the GCD gains the ruling position, and this congress will determine the future program and revolutionary line of the coalition political axe, and will also discuss how to advance the revolution to victory on a national scale faster and better after taking power. Therefore, GCD leaders such as Zhou Elai, Li Dazhao, and Qu Qiubai, as well as Soviet advisers, had important work to do, and could not accompany the delegation on a visit to Yanjing. However, Qu Ying and Ambassador Garrahan have not yet left, and Ambassador Garrahan seems to have some important mission to discuss with Liao Zhongkai, Zou Lu and others of the Kuomintang delegation, and Qu Ying temporarily acts as his interpreter.

"No! Our party absolutely cannot agree! This is imperialist aggression! You keep saying that you want to give up on China--" It was vaguely as if the shouting and scolding of Zou Lu and Dai Jitao, the leaders of the Kuomintang rightists, came from the other end of the welcome building.

"Go close the door." Luo Yaoguo ordered his years to finish Yan Hao and close the door of the suite.

He had no interest in the Soviets' quarrels with Zou Lu and Dai Jitao, nothing more than trivial matters such as the Kulen political axe and the workers' and peasants' revolution in the south. Zou Lu and Dai Jitao quarreled with Borodin and Li Dazhao every day in Tianjin, so that everyone inside and outside the Six Nations Hotel knew that the "alliance" between the Kuomintang and Soviet Russia was coming to an end, and they were still like this when they arrived in Yanjing, but they refused to get together and disperse.

"Fugong, don't you want to know what they're talking about?" Wan Yanhao kicked the door shut with a gentle kick, and then approached Luo Yaoguo's side with a hippie smile. "Why don't I go and inquire? Feel the situation here? ”

Luo Yaoguo frowned slightly and ordered: "Wen Qiang (Wan Yanhao), you go around, familiarize yourself with the road, it is the route to Dongjiaomin Lane, and see what paths there are, especially the route to the British and American legations, you must find out clearly, don't ask too much about the rest." ”

Before the delegation departed, US Minister Shulman and Minister Fang Ze had already agreed, and British Minister Ma Ke was still insisting. This situation is also very strange, Schulman is not surprising, the Kuomintang and Sun Yat-sen have always been regarded as "pro-American," and now the Americans seem to think that the Kuomintang is close to them, especially after the last "Canton Secret Treaty" negotiations, the United States and the Kuomintang are getting closer and closer.

However, it is very strange that the minister is so good at talking, and they are inseparable from the revolutionary regime in Yanjing, and in the past two days, they have been sending more troops to Tianjin every day, and according to the news that Wan Yanhao has received from Tianjin, the strength of the Tianjin garrison has reached a brigade. And it seems that Ben is still plotting something with the various factions in Beiyang. In this case, Luo Yaoguo also had to take precautions.

On February 3, 1925, the day after the delegation arrived in Yanjing, Feng Yuxiang, the future leader of the country, the owner of half of Yanjing City, finally took time out of his busy schedule to receive them. Perhaps Feng Yuxiang was dissatisfied with the Kuomintang's rule in the south, the generals of his group did not show up at the Qianmen railway station yesterday, and the soldiers who gnawed at the nest did not go out into the streets to maintain order, everything was arranged by GCD.

Feng Yuxiang's current official residence is in the presidential palace in Zhongnanhai, and that Cao Kun doesn't know if he is still alive? Now, except for Wu Peifu, who is shouting for rescue every day, no one in the whole of China can afford this "legitimate president." Well, no matter how you say that other people's presidents were legally bought for 13 million oceans. Does the Constitution of the Republic of China have a clause prohibiting the purchase of presidents? Doesn't seem to have one, right?

The delegation was greeted by Feng Yuxiang by Zhang Zhijiang, the head of Feng Yuxiang's Five Tiger Generals. The man was about forty years old, a little thin, with a mustache, a not very clean face, and a scruffy beard that looked a little vicious. However, the members of the Kuomintang delegation, who were accustomed to seeing wicked people, were not afraid of him. In fact, this Zhang Zhijiang is an honest man, and he is still a devout Christian, whose name is Paul. Now he is almost the only person in Feng Yuxiang's army who still believes that there is a God in the world. Because General Feng had now believed in GCISM, he ordered all officers and men in his command to quit Christianity. Only this Zhang Zhijiang said that he refused to quit anything.

"On behalf of Commander-in-Chief Feng, I would like to welcome all Kuomintang distinguished guests." Zhang Zhijiang's tone was very polite. "The commander-in-chief will hold a banquet in the Sizhao Hall of Zhongnanhai to receive you and wash the dust."

Liao Zhongkai, who was the official head of the delegation, smiled and nodded, "Thank you Commander-in-Chief Feng for your kindness, and on behalf of the Kuomintang and Mr. Zhongshan, I would like to thank Commander-in-Chief Feng for his hospitality." ”

Zhongnanhai Sizhaotang is Wu Peifu's sad place, and now Feng Yuxiang likes the environment there, so he set up a few tables there to invite the Kuomintang people to dinner. However, it is very strange that there was no GCD person at Feng Yuxiang's banquet, and they were accompanied by some proud soldiers and fierce generals under Feng Yuxiang, such as the Five Tiger Generals, the Thirteen Taibao and the like. After arriving at Sizhaotang, Zhang Zhijiang enthusiastically introduced Luo Yaoguo and others one by one. At this time, Feng Yuxiang had not yet arrived, and his generals were not so restrained, and they were all there talking about national affairs and the ups and downs.

Among them, there was a short Feng general, who was there chirping crookedly and scratching his hair: "Hmph, these old hairy people are also stingy, except for some waste paper (Feng Yuxiang's banknotes), they don't pay the brothers, and they are not allowed to set up cards to collect taxes, how should this be done?" According to Zhang Zhijiang, this person is Shi Yousan, the commander of the mixed brigade of the Eighth Brigade of the National Army.

"Han Zhang, let's say a few words, it's the period of the Great Revolution, and when the revolution is victorious, let the commander-in-chief make it up to you." A fair-faced middle-aged officer smiled and persuaded: "The distinguished guests of the Kuomintang are here, but they are praising our commander-in-chief." "He is Han Fuyu, and his current position is the commander of the First Brigade of the National Army.

"What Xiang Fang said is, when our commander-in-chief establishes a joint political axe, won't there be money?" The bald-headed general waved his hand at Han Fuyu, and then turned around and asked Liao Zhongkai beside him. "Mr. Zhongkai, please tell me the truth, if our commander-in-chief becomes the chairman of the joint political axe, will your Kuomintang take out that customs area?"

Liao Zhongkai was stunned by this sudden question, he knew who the person was questioning, this person was Liu Yufen, one of the five tiger generals under Feng Yuxiang, who is still the commander of the Second Division of the National Army. Just now, Shi Yousan cried poor, Han Fuyu came out to play a round again, and finally Liu Yufen changed his words and talked about the customs area of the Kuomintang. It seems that this was all arranged, but I don't know who arranged it.

The Kuomintang set up this reading power customs area in the south to February 1925 officially began to collect money, the tariff rate was set at 20%, plus 10% consumption tax on imports, and at the same time, the national political axe began to pilot the collection of consumption tax (value-added tax), in addition to income tax, stamp duty, deed tax, business tax, resource tax, salt tax, field tax and so on a large number of taxes, oh, of course, there are export tax rebates, in order to encourage the export of industrial products, the national political axe is still a little willing to spit out a little bone. But in general, it is said that the Kuomintang has more taxes, and [***] will be more.

What has aroused the opposition of the whole country is that the goods of the northern provinces must be subject to customs duties and excise taxes if they enter the national customs area. In the past few days, the newspapers in the north and the powerful people from all walks of life have almost scolded the 18 generations of the ancestors of the Kuomintang, but after the group of Beiyang warlords finished scolding, they drooled "bada" and "bada", and they were so envious of the wealth of the national political axe. I can't wait to rush over and get a piece of the pie, but when I see the 500,000 soldiers of the National Revolutionary Army and the strong support of Britain, the United States, and France, I don't dare to think about anything.

Although Zhang Zuolin, Duan Qirui, and Wu Peifu dare not think about it, some people dare to think about it, such as Feng Yuxiang. This Feng Yuxiang's imagination is relatively rich, but Liao Zhongkai also has an unshirkable responsibility for this. He is a selfless leftist, so he also believes that the national political axe should not be held in a cornucopia and eaten alone, but should be used for the central political axe to promote revolutionary work.

However, the generals under Feng Yuxiang did not believe in this kind of good thing, so they would try to get to the left of the Kuomintang in Yanjing at every opportunity. Hehe, they can't always feed the soldiers under their hands with their nests, right? After doing this kind of thing for a long time, this soldier will be disobedient, especially since Feng Yuxiang has also invited many political workers from GCD.

"No, who said that?" Before Liao Zhongkai could speak, Zou Lu, deputy head of the Kuomintang delegation, answered first. "If this cash cow is in the hands of your Commander-in-Chief Feng, will he take it and share it with everyone?"

Liu Yufen and Feng Yuxiang's gang of fierce generals were surprisingly calm when they heard Zou Lu's words, and Liu Yufen still looked smiling: "This is reasonable, Mr. Zou is a real person, a real person." After speaking, he swept Liao Zhongkai slightly with a hazy look.

That's when it happened.

"Commander-in-Chief Feng has arrived--" A particularly loud voice shouted, and the Lord of Yanjing's half-city was finally about to show up.
