After leaving Anqing, Yan Shao, Elino and others boarded the train together—————— tens of thousands of people, and if you just walk on two legs, you don't know how long it will take.

As for the vaults that contain more than two billion, they are placed on one of the trains.

After Zhan Tianyou struggled in Anhui for such a long time, most of the railway lines have been built into four-line railways, and only a few railways are ——————eight-line railways...

Isn't it bad money, it's naturally better repaired.

In order to ensure safety, all the railways from Anqing to Suzhou stopped running, and because of this, there was a train full of soldiers on both sides of the train that Yan Shao was taking, so there was no need to worry about safety at all.

Naturally, the soldiers, including their commanders, hardly knew what was in the big iron cabinets on the train, otherwise...

The temptation of more than two billion is not something that everyone can resist...

After spending a whole day, Yan Shao, Elano and others arrived safely at Suzhou Railway Station.

At the train station in Suzhou, Fu Xiuming, Feng Guozhang and others had been waiting for a long time.

"Then you can't take the train, you can only take ordinary vehicles..."Saying this, Fu Xiuming said with some worry. Governor, don't you really have to wait a little longer? ”

Fu Xiuming will be worried because the bandit suppression operation in Henan has not yet ended, although the rogues of the White Wolf Army have been severely damaged, but there are still 3 or 4,000 people circulating everywhere in Henan. Although Fu Xiuming and Feng Guozhang had already sent all the cavalry in their hands out, after all, no white wolf knew the terrain of Henan better.

If it weren't for the fact that Yan Shao had already contacted Yan Xishan and them at the beginning, I am afraid that there would really be no way to deal with these rogues...

Although Fu Xiuming didn't worry about anything wrong at all. But in case a sporadic rogue crashes into the team...

Feng Guozhang was even more worried about this than Fu Xiuming, although Yan Shao was very polite when he treated him just now, but Feng Guozhang knew very well that he was just a defeated general, and the reason why Yan Shao kept him in the new government, and even awarded him the high position of vice minister of defense, was entirely because of his influence on the Beiyang Army...

In case something really goes wrong later, who knows if Yan Shao will use him as a pretext?

Even if Yan Shao doesn't care. Feng Guozhang also knows very well that there are many people in the National Socialist Party and Beiyang who look at him unpleasantly, what if they take the opportunity to make trouble?

At his point, he really can't be careless...

"Rest assured." Compared to them. Yan Shao is obviously much more relieved. "Thousands of rogues, unless they're crazy, nothing will happen..."

Time is urgent, and it's already July. If you don't hurry. There's not much time left this year.

Although Fu Xiuming and Feng Guozhang were a little worried, they couldn't say anything when they saw that Yan Shao was there to take care of their opinions.

So after getting off the train from Suzhou Railway Station, this huge team set off again. It's just that they can't take the train this time, so they can only go to Zhengzhou in Henan by car and other means, and after trying to cross the Yellow River, they go to Beijing through the Jinghan Railway—————— the reason why they want to cross the Yellow River is because the railway bridge that was blown up by the White Wolf Army some time ago has only been repaired halfway now, and there is no other way. Yan Shao can only take other ways...

Everything was just as Yan Shao thought, and basically nothing happened along the way. Even if there are small groups of rogues in the vicinity along the way, when they see such a huge team, they will simply turn around and run, and they have no idea of fighting at all—————— if you exclude the National Social Army, these more than 50,000 people are enough to sweep through China, where do they dare to provoke...

On the other hand, in the process of Yan Shao's passage through Henan, Fu Xiuming and others also stepped up their encirclement and suppression to avoid the situation of gangsters harassing the team.

"Look, I said it was safe," Yan Shao said with a smile on his face, helping Elino and them get off the ferry.

"Yes, yes, yes..."Yan Shao had already said many times along the way, so Elaline and the others also seemed a little impatient. But to be honest, they really didn't worry too much, after all, there were tens of thousands of troops around to escort them, unless it was the end of the world, they really couldn't imagine any danger that could threaten them...

On the other side of the Yellow River, several trains on the Jinghan railway line have been waiting for a long time.

————————————————————

Although it was on the train, because there was a wireless telegraph that could be contacted, the results of the battles in various places quickly reached Yan Shao's hands.

Let's talk about Henan first, because of the cooperation of Beiyang, Guoshejun and Yan Xishan and others, Fu Xiuming and Feng Guozhang have made great progress. During the period when Yan Shao and the others managed to reach Zhengzhou from Suzhou, and then crossed the Yellow River to Xiangfang, Fu Xiuming and Feng Guozhang once again severely damaged the remnants of the white wolf, and according to their estimates, there were at most more than 1,000 people left around the white wolf.

And in the case that Shaanxi, Shanxi, Hubei and other places have been blocked, the demise of the White Wolf Army can almost be said to be a pinch.

As for Fujian, Guangdong, and Hunan, since the Japanese had already abandoned them, and the training time was too short to effectively form any combat strength relationship, Xiao Yongyan and others made great progress, especially on the Hunan side, because of the assistance of the Anhui naval division, the brigade transferred from Wuhu had already landed near Changsha and was preparing to launch an offensive against Changsha.

The progress in Guangdong and Fujian is also going well, and Chen Jiongming in Guangdong and Xu Chongzhi in Fujian have almost been beaten and retreated...

That is, at the front (rear?) With constant good news, Yan Shao finally arrived in Beijing...

Yan Shao met many people in Beijing, and even saw Lei who he hadn't seen for a long time? Kopa had heard of Zhu Erdian for a long time, but he had never met. Only I didn't see Yuan Shikai.

Yan Shao was not surprised by this, after all, it would be too embarrassing for the two to meet, so before Yan Shao arrived in Beijing. Yuan Shikai has already returned to his hometown Xiangcheng with his family...

"I've heard of your names for a long time, but Yan is a little tired on this trip, and he still has his family accompanying him, so I want to take a rest first, and I'll talk about it later..."

Although it was difficult to refuse, Yan Shao still turned down the banquet that invited him. After all, he was indeed a little too tired on this trip.

Xu Shichang and others also understand this. So didn't say much. However, before saying goodbye to everyone, Yan Shao took the initiative to talk to Zhu Erdian, and hoped that he could come to his 'home' tomorrow...

Yan Shao did not feel that his contradictions with the British had reached the point of irreconcilability. He didn't plan to get into trouble with the British to that extent, and now that he was sitting in this position, he naturally had to find a way to reconcile the contradictions with the British...

Although Yan Shao's invitation surprised Zhu Erdian a little, he still nodded happily and agreed.

In fact, there are now doubts in London about whether he is still qualified for the post of minister to China. Especially after Yuan Shikai, who had a good personal relationship with him, had stepped down. So he is in great need of some achievements that can prove his ability now, and Yan Shao's invitation is exactly what he needs most...

After saying goodbye to Zhu Erdian and the others, Yan Shao took Ileno and the others to leave in the direction of the outside of the city.

"Sure enough, it's the same as the home in Anqing..."Looking at the manor in front of them, Eleno and the others were both surprised and satisfied.

What appeared in front of Yan Shao and the others was a manor that was extremely similar to the manor in Anqing, and the mansions and even the layout were almost very similar, in other words, Yan Shao and the others only had to come over. If you put your belongings in, you can move in directly...

This is also something that Yan Shao has considered a long time ago, after all, when he moved from Wuhu to Anqing. Yan Shao and the others lived in the Anhui Governor's Yamen for a long time, and the experience during that time left a deep impression on Yan Shao—————— he was not willing to take a night pot from under the bed in the middle of the night, or run to the thatched house or something, it was too torturous, and the old building was indeed inconvenient to live.

So before he started with Beiyang, Yan Shao had already privately asked people to buy a place with beautiful mountains and rivers outside Beijing, and build a manor in the appearance of Anqing there.

At the beginning, because the manor was only a prototype, naturally no one cared, but when the manor had a little scale, many people found that the appearance of this manor seemed to be exactly the same as that of Anqing Yanshao...

The problem is that Zhilu Dao is Zhilu Dao, but no one has ever thought of delving into this issue, and even Yuan Shikai himself didn't say much after hearing about it. Because the situation of Feng Guozhang on the front line at that time was already very bad, no one knew what the situation would be in the future, so he naturally wanted to leave a way back for himself.

Especially in the late stage, some officials in Beiyang gave a lot of green lights to the construction of the manor, otherwise this manor would not have been built so quickly...

"Okay, let's go in, everything is the same as the one in Anqing, after such a long journey, it's time for us to take a good rest..."

Stretching his waist, Yan Shao smiled at Elano and the others, and hugged Fumiko who was standing aside, but when he was hugging, Yan Shao glanced at Kaoru Otsuki with a meaningful gaze, and no one noticed this glance except Kaoru Otsuki himself...

————————————————————

Just like Yan Shao said, the inside of the manor is indeed exactly the same as the one in Anqing, both inside and outside the mansion. If there's one thing that's different, it's probably the lake outside the mansion...

Although money can do many things, after all, there is no way to buy a lake that is exactly the same as the big lake in Anqing. Don't say it's exactly the same, even if it's similar, it's impossible. Of course, Yan Shao can also get an artificial lake out, so that it can be more similar, but in that case, it will take a lot of time, and it is really difficult to say whether it can be completed before Yan Shao goes north...

Let alone...

Usually it doesn't matter if you turn a blind eye, if you really want to make such a big move, even those officials in Beiyang are afraid that it will be difficult to continue to remain silent...

————————————————————

"Sir, what do you think Yan Shao invited you to come for?"

Sit in the co-pilot's seat. Seeing that Zhu Erdian still had his eyes closed, Kenan asked a little breathlessly.

At this time, it was already the second day before Yan Shao arrived in Beijing, although Yan Shao had not officially taken over Yuan Shikai's position at this time. But with Yuan Shikai's announcement to go to the field and return to Xiangcheng with his family. There are also moves such as Yan Shao's three infantry divisions all stationed in the surrounding areas of Beijing, and people can still feel that Beijing, a city with a long history, has changed its owner...

In this case, Yan Shao invited Zhu Erdian to his home to sit down, which naturally aroused the curiosity of many people.

"Who knows..."Hearing Kennan's words, Zhu Erdian opened his eyes slightly.

He really doesn't know what to do...

If it were an ordinary Chinese, he might think that Yan Shao was in awe of the strength of the British Empire, just like Yuan Shikai and others in the past, so he wanted to build a good relationship with the British Empire through him. But to Yan Shao's words...

But he didn't dare to think so...

"Maybe I want to ease relations with the Empire, but ......... I always felt that he didn't invite me just for such a small thing..."

I thought so from the bottom of my heart. Jurdian closed his eyes again.

Seeing Zhu Erdian's appearance, Kenan also knew that he didn't want to say more, so he obediently closed his mouth.

By the way, the car they were driving was none other than the 'Liulan' made by Yushi Automobile Company...

Since the advent of Liulan Motors. This kind of car has attracted a lot of attention with its high cost performance and excellent appearance and comfort. Now half of the cars in the legations of various countries are Liulan, and whenever he notices this, Zhu Erdian feels a little helpless.

About half an hour later, the car drove out of the city and came to a place outside the city.

"I've seen it many times, but I have to say that this manor is really beautiful," Kennan whispered as he looked out the car window at the manor by the lake.

Hearing his words, Zhu Erdian also nodded slightly in agreement.

Yan Shao's construction of a manor in Beijing was even known to Yuan Shikai, and it was naturally impossible for Zhu Erdian and them not to know about it. And when they had free time, they also came to the outside of the city to see the manor from a distance a few times.

What they also have to admit is. This manor is indeed very beautiful, especially after Yan Shao was not stingy here...

It's not surprising, after all, if nothing else, this is his home for the rest of his life, and the treatment is naturally very different from the two manors in Anqing and Wuhu, at least in all aspects of the design is better than those two manors...

Perhaps they had already known that Zhu Erdian was coming, so the soldiers of the Guards Regiment stationed along the way stopped and inquired, and never stopped the car again.

Similarly, perhaps because it was the first time he saw the soldiers of the National Social Army at close range, Zhu Erdian couldn't help but observe carefully. And the result of his observation was that the army in front of him seemed to be very immature, as if it had rarely or never been on the battlefield, but from their straight and upright military posture and resolute faces, it could be seen that the military discipline of this army was quite good, at least ......... It is definitely not comparable to Yuan Shikai's Beiyang Army.

And after bowing his head and thinking for a while, Zhu Erdian quickly matched the most special unit in the National Socialist Army.

"The Guards..."

In the National Socialist Army, probably only the Guards Regiment is like this, because only the Guards Regiment will have such strict requirements for military discipline, and only they will rarely have the opportunity to participate in actual combat...

In this way, we can explain the observation just now...

————————————————————

"Welcome, welcome Mr. Minister..."

Standing in front of the steps of the mansion, Yan Shao had a gentle smile on his face as always, which made people involuntarily have a good impression of him......... At least Kennan was...

It's just that when he saw Eleno and the others behind Yan Shao, this good feeling quickly turned into envy, jealousy and hatred...

"Since it was Mr. President's invitation, I naturally wanted to come...", barely squeezing out a smile, Zhu Erdian said with a smile.

"What did Mr. Minister say, the president's affairs will not be announced in a few days, and now I am just the governor of Anhui..."

After walking to the living room, Yan Shao, Elano and others sat on the sofa, while Kenan and Zhu Erdian and others sat opposite Yan Shao. Just looking at the demure and elegant Elaine, the sexy and hot Caterina and the petite and handsome Lu Ying, Kenan couldn't help but lean into Zhu Erdian's ear.

"This guy has so many beautiful wives, I really want to pull out a gun and kill him..."

"Kill, but if you don't, I promise the British Empire will never waste a bullet for your death..."

His mouth moved, and Zhu Erdian replied.

Hearing Zhu Erdian say this, Kennan's face froze, and Yan Shao asked with some curiosity.

"Mr. Minister, the one next to you just now?"

"Oh, he just wanted to ask, Mr. Yan, what exactly did you invite us to come for..."

Zhu Erdian still understands some habits of the Oriental, although the Chinese in front of him seems to have lived abroad for many years, but Zhu Erdian still does not think that Kennan's words just now will make Yan Shao happy, now there are more troubles between Britain and China, he does not want to add more trouble...

"This..."Hearing Zhu Erdian talk about this, Yan Shao smiled and said. Actually, I invited Mr. Minister to come this time just for one thing......... Goodwill..."

"Goodwill?"

Hearing Yan Shao say this, Zhu Erdian was stunned, obviously not understanding what he meant.

And seeing his stunned appearance, Yan Shao did continue with a smile. "That's right, goodwill, we are reciprocal to each other......... Goodwill..."(To be continued......)
