In mid-April, an unexpected softening of the Dutch government ignited a flame of national pride. The first to react was the large and middle schools in Shanghai, where students were organized to march to celebrate, and representatives were selected to go to Wusongkou to express their condolences to the contingent.

The parade celebration in Shanghai was like the first card that toppled the dominoes, and a hurricane blew across the country. The student group suddenly appeared in front of the Chinese people with a new mode of strength. Big cities such as Beijing and Tianjin were the first to respond, followed by school students in provincial capitals.

Students took to the streets to celebrate a diplomatic victory not seen since the Opium War.

In this ten-day celebration, the name Fang Jianxiong became the most photographed term.

In the face of the action of the 77th chapter of the military intelligence bureau of this student movement that affected the whole country, the political stage within the Republic of China was unexpectedly deprived of a lot of attention.

No matter how much the student movement rises, some things still don't change. For example, the status quo of the Republic of China has not changed, the status quo of the United Autonomous Region has not changed, and the continuous private negotiations between the three parties have not changed. Yuan Shikailai's situation in Beijing has not changed. The support of the Four Nations Legations for Yuan Shikai remained unchanged.

The Japanese military department's relatively best policy toward China has not changed. Almost at the same time that Fang Jianxiong returned to Wuchang, Yuan Shikai's military adviser Aoki Xuanchun, after deciding to go to Lushun as the commander of the garrison, first went to Wuchang.

Aoki, dressed in Chinese clothes, and wearing a top hat, is no different from ordinary Chinese. After getting off the train from Hankou with two entourages who were also dressed in Chinese clothes, he met Shi Zhong, who came to greet him.

"Your Excellency! You've done a great job! Shi Zhong stepped forward and bowed, and immediately attracted the strange eyes of the Chinese who were leaving the station next to him. Aoki Xuanchun frowned slightly, bowed back and said, "Hard work, Shi Zhongjun." ”

The car was on its way to the Japanese Concession. Aoki asked about the current situation. Shi Zhong did not report separately: "Han Yeping co-organized. The United Autonomous Region Assembly held a hearing, but it was not possible to get to guò. The parliament did not object to Han Yeping's implementation of the previous Chapter 77 contract between the Military Intelligence Bureau and Japan, and how Han Yeping operated. That's the business's own business. Therefore, Daye Iron Mine and Pig Iron from Hanyang can be shipped to the empire as usual. It's a pity. Many of the workers at the Hanyang Iron Works have left, and pig iron production has dropped sharply, and even if technicians from the empire were recruited to China, it would take at least a year to restore the previous pig iron production. As a result, this incident did not have much impact on the steel industry of the empire. According to investigations, the Americans have already cooperated with Fang Jianxiong in Wuhu, and the Germans will also start construction of a new iron and steel enterprise near Chongqing. ”

Aoki Xuanjun kept holding his hands and didn't speak. After Shi Zhong finished his report, he opened his eyes and said, "Have you thought of a way to stop or delay?" Shi Zhong nodded, and shook his head helplessly: "The status quo of the empire has been decided. It is impossible to achieve this. ”

"Politicians are stupid. They only have a fiscal deficit in their eyes. If the status quo is not changed, the future of the empire will sooner or later be buried in the hands of politicians. Now look away. There is no need for a trip to Wuchang, I will go directly to Nanjing. Shi Zhongjun, I'll leave it to you here, to speed up the supervision of the other party's Jianxiong and the infiltration of the United Autonomous Region. We don't know enough about this new group, and it's not in the interests of the Empire. ”

Shi Zhong hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Excellency, Nanjing may not be able to support it. ”

Aoki Xuanchun sighed and said: "Do your best, no matter what, Nanjing still has its own army, as long as there is an army, and it is not the same heart as the so-called central government, it is worth supporting." China is too big, and once unified, having a leadership with sufficient authority is undoubtedly a huge obstacle to the empire's continental policy. ”

Shi Zhong was solemn and solemn, nodded and said, "Hey, I understand." Only a divided China is in the interests of the empire. ”

Every time he walked into this office, Zhao Yi was a little excited. The windows were all curtained, and the light was very poor, and an incandescent lamp was in the center, and the light radiating from it seemed to be yellow.

Fang Jianxiong was reviewing at the desk, Zhao Yi came in and immediately reported, Fang Dashuai raised his eyes and glanced at it, the pencil in his hand kept turning with one hand, Zhao Yi looked at it and felt very weird, one hand let the pencil do such a movement, it seemed to be very difficult, Dashuai seemed to be very skilled.

"Student movement, let's stop. Students still have to study hard, you have sat down. Fang Jianxiong was referring to the fact that the student movement had been a bit out of control recently, which originally meant to make a fuss about the compromise between Yuan Shikai and Nanjing, but later broke away from the original trajectory. This incident reminded Fang Jianxiong of the May Fourth Movement, and the student demonstrations ended up violent.

"Humble duty understands!" Zhao Yili replied, and seeing that Fang Dashuai did not continue to ask, he continued in a low voice: "Over there in Hankou, Aoki Xuanchun is here again, and it is the person who went to the train station to pick him up from Shizhong. ”

"Hmm!" Fang Dashuai said that he heard it, lowered his head and continued to play with the pencil, Zhao Yu felt that Dashuai was so unfathomable, so he was a little more careful in his heart, and continued: "Chen Shufan from Shaanxi sent people to Han, hoping to get the support of Dashuai. Zhang Fu was defeated by Shengyun's department, and Chen Shufan sat in Yuncheng and did not save him personally, and was hated by the Alliance. If it weren't for the help of Yan Feilong and other swordsmen who repelled Shengyun's Gan army, Chen Shufan's life would be in danger. At present, Chen is short of money, food, guns and ammunition, and is not welcomed in the Shaanxi army. The lowly thought that this was an opportunity, so he dared to bring people in. ”

"That's what the MIA does, and there's nothing to be brave about. Since they have brought it in, let him in. Fang Jianxiong's tone was flat, the pencil in his hand turned faster and faster, and the smile on his face became stronger. Zhao Yu suddenly felt cold, and said with a snap: "Boss, please forgive me for the crime of being cut first and then played." ”

Smack, the pencil in Fang Jianxiong's hand fell to the ground, and the body sitting upright also stood up, his smile was put away, his eyes were stern, and his tone was three points more gloomy and cold: "Forget it, go and bring people here, that place in Shaanxi is too poor, and I can't take care of it for a while." ”

Zhao Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and he didn't dare to wipe the dense cold sweat on his forehead, and stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Shaanxi is barren, and the swordsman is vertical and horizontal." There was a shortage of money and food in that place, and there was no shortage of men who served as soldiers. ”

Fang Jianxiong listened to what he said, put away his stern gaze, squinted his eyes and said, "I have something to say." ”

Zhao Yi said again: "I think that I can support Chen Shufan in Shaanxi, this person is ambitious, and Shaanxi is now the territory of the Alliance." The alliance relies on gangs, and Chen Shufan relies on swordsmen. ”

Fang Jianxiong nodded and said, "I know, you bring people first." ”

When Zhao Yu went out, Yin Weijun came in, saw this spy leader, showed a disgusted expression, and stepped forward and said: "This person is so annoying, especially when he looks at people, his eyes are like poisonous snakes." "The Yin family sisters are probably the most presumptuous people in front of Fang Dashuai, especially this little one.

"Don't talk nonsense, Zhao Yi is loyal. However, this person is so happy that he has often done everything, and he has to beat it from time to time. By the way, you go and call Shangguan Xue. Fang Jianxiong commanded, Yin Weijun said unhappily: "What do you want her to do?" ”

Fang Jianxiong said slightly angrily: "Where is so much nonsense!" When Yin Weijun snorted and was about to leave, Fang Dashuai gave an explanation: "You don't understand, there are things she can do, but you can't do them well." ”

"By the way, I almost forgot about business, and Qi Zhenghong, the representative of the Jiaodong Self-Defense Army, came. I'm waiting to see you. ”

"Oh, I see, let him wait a little longer." Fang Jianxiong waved his hand, turned around and returned to his position and sat down. Yin Weijun went out, and Fang Jianxiong continued to pick up the pencil and rotate it in his hand.

Zhao Yu led a strong man in, this person was tall and strong, with a fierce face, at first glance, he was the kind of master who had been licking blood from the knife for a long time. Seeing Fang Jianxiong, the person who came knelt down on one knee and raised his hands high: "Yan Feilong asked Fang Dashuai to be safe, Dashuai and foreigners called for a fight, and grew our Chinese qi, Yan Feilong convinced you in his heart." ”

Fang Jianxiong is not very accustomed to this kind of way of being a hero, and he has never had many opportunities to deal with the people of the gang.

Yan Feilong is known as the "Guanzhong Hero", and in another time and space, this guy hung up in the battle to defeat Shengyun. In this time and space, I was lucky that I didn't hurt a single hair. But then again, the current Shaanxi is a bit complicated, Zhang Fengxiang, the governor, hooked up with Beiyang. Careerists like Chen Shufan, Hu Jingyi, Zhang Fang, etc., all forces have different thoughts in their hearts. After repelling Shengyun, Chen Shufan was born to be self-reliant, and Yan Feilong was sent to ask for help.

Fang Jianxiong has always paid attention to the affairs of Shaanxi, and the Military Intelligence Bureau has already sent people over, and the Shaanxi Station has been established a long time ago, otherwise there would not have been anything about Yan Feilong's arrival.

"Yan Daxia is polite, please get up and speak. I don't like this, they are all revolutionary comrades, and there is no such thing as superiority or inferiority. Fang Jianxiong got up with a smile and stepped forward and took the initiative to stretch out his hand. When Yan Feilong was surprised, his hands were held by Fang Jianxiong, and after shaking it vigorously, he smiled and said: "Thank you for the trust of the comrades in Shaanxi, please sit down and talk, if there is any difficulty, I will try my best to help." ”

Yan Feilong made it look like he was drunk, Fang Jianxiong was really unattainable in his mind, he didn't expect to be so approachable. Fang Jianxiong's current low position is equivalent to the surplus of the cabinet ministers of the Qing Dynasty, Yan Feilong was still very nervous at first, and in the blink of an eye, he was able to sit opposite and talk.

Zhao Yi stood aside and didn't speak, and has been silently learning the style of the handsome. If you want people to work hard for themselves, then you have to learn from the big handsome. Shaanxi's affairs, since the handsome has been handed over to himself, he has to do it beautifully.

Dizzy, Yan Feilong finally sat down, the soft sofa startled him, bounced up, stretched out his hand and pressed it a few times, and said embarrassedly: "Countryman, I don't know anything, the handsome man smiled." ”！！！
