On December 18, 1898, a news came out from the Shenyang Governor's Mansion that Lin Daxin, the governor of Fengtian Province, Jilin Province, Heilongjiang Province, Yalu River Province, Luzon Province, Outer Mongolia Province and Inner Mongolia Province, was going to marry two concubines on December 31 on the last day of this year.

Therefore, Lin Daxin attached great importance to his concubine this time, not inferior to when he married Ding Xueshan and Du Juan, except for the senior officers of the Dingbei Army on the front line, Lin Daxin ordered them not to come back, and other high-level military and political leaders, Lin Daxin sent a wedding card, and he also sent the wedding card to the bigwigs in Beijing, and even the ministers of various countries in Beijing City, including the Russian minister who was at war, Melkoshagin, sent a wedding card, but Melkoshagin dared to come or not.

In the Forbidden City in Beijing, after the Empress Dowager Cixi learned that Lin Daxin was going to take a concubine, she summoned Prince Gong Yixin and the commander of the Wuwei Army, Yiketanga, into the palace.

In Tianjin Wei's Zhili Governor's Mansion, Li Hongzhang, the boss of the Beiyang system, received a welcome message from Lin Daxin, and summoned Nie Shicheng, the commander of the Beiyang Army, into the Zhili Governor's Mansion, and soon after that, Li Hongzhang personally took Nie Shicheng to Shenyang.

Yuan Shikai, the commander of the Dingwu Army, originally Lin Daxin didn't want to send a wedding post, but Liu Xiumei said that no matter what, Yuan Shikai had the grace to raise her, and the wedding card still had to be sent, as for whether Yuan Shikai came or not, it depended on Yuan Shikai himself.

After Yuan Shikai received the wedding post, he didn't want to go to Shenyang, but his staff members built a trip, he still went to Shenyang to ease the relationship with Lin Daxin, anyway, Liu Xiumei is his adopted daughter, and Yuan Shikai and Lin Daxin will also be relatives in the future. Yuan Shikai thought about it for a while, and also left for Shenyang City. However, he had other plans, he thought that Liu Xiumei had become Lin Daxin's concubine, and it would not be easier to deal with Lin Daxin, as long as he could persuade Liu Xiumei to continue to help him.

Before the concubine ceremony, the Beiyang Navy Division escorted the Fifth Division of the Dingbei Army to Lushun, and Admiral Ding Ruchang and Lin Daxin's parents Lin Yongsheng and Mrs. Li all came to the Northeast by boat this time because they knew that Lin Daxin wanted to take a concubine.

The time soon came to December 31, because today was the day of Lin Daxin's concubine, so not only the Shenyang hotel where the concubine ceremony was held was decorated with joy, but even the entire Shenyang city was decorated with lights.

Although Lin Daxin attaches more importance to this concubine, but it has not reached the point where the entire Shenyang City is full of lights, the layout in Shenyang City is that the people in Shenyang City know that today is a happy event for Lin Dashuai, and spontaneously arrange Shenyang City like this, the people of Shenyang City, and even the people of the entire four northeastern provinces, understand in their hearts that they can live today's life, all rely on their Lin Dashuai, they are all from the bottom of their hearts to sincerely support Lin Dashuai, this time Lin Dashuai took a concubine, The people of Shenyang City are like their own families doing happy events.

Lin Daxin was deeply relieved when he saw the actions of the people of Shenyang City, his efforts over the years have not been in vain, and the 50 million people in the four northeastern provinces have truly regarded themselves as their leaders. It is precisely with the support of these 50 million Northeast fathers and villagers that Lin Daxin has the confidence to face the powerful Russian Empire.

The ceremony of taking concubines was held in the afternoon, from noon the guests from all walks of life came to the Shenyang Hotel one after another, Lin Daxin, Lin Yongsheng, Ding Ruchang and Wang Yan at the gate of the Shenyang Hotel to greet the guests who participated in the ceremony, the entire Shenyang Hotel has been 3 days in advance no longer receive other guests, specially for today's ceremony to arrange.

Today's guests are mainly the high-ranking officials of Shenyang City, the heads of various factories under the name of Lin Daxin in Shenyang City, some private bosses of industry and commerce in Shenyang City, and high-ranking officers of the Northeast Navy, but not many of the high-ranking officers of the Dingbei Army under Lin Daxin's command participated because of the war with the Russians. In addition, the envoys of various countries in the Qing Dynasty in Beijing City also rushed to Shenyang City to participate in Lin Daxin's concubine ceremony, but Melkoshajin, who received the wedding post, did not dare to come to Shenyang City.

In addition to the two bigwigs of Prince Gong Yixin and Li Hongzhang, Nie Shicheng, the commander of the Beiyang Army, the commander of the Wuwei Army, Yi Ketang'a, and the commander of the Dingwu Army, Yuan Shikai, all came to Shenyang City to participate in Lin Daxin's concubine ceremony with different purposes.

Yuan Shikai's arrival made Lin Daxin's brows furrow, but how to say that Yuan Shikai is also Liu Xiumei's father-in-law, but Lin Daxin has always been worried about Yuan Shikai's dispatch of Liu Xiumei to oppose his generals, but for Liu Xiumei's sake, Lin Daxin doesn't care about Yuan Shikai now, but if Yuan Shikai still doesn't know the current affairs in the future, Lin Daxin will not get used to him.

The foreign envoys and the people from the imperial court all arrived in Shenyang City the day before, that is, on December 30, Liu Xiumei heard that Yuan Shikai was also coming, and discussed with Lin Daxin to meet with Yuan Shikai first, Lin Daxin thought about it and agreed.

On the evening of the 30th, Liu Xiumei, under the protection of the security personnel, came to the Xinglong Hotel where Yuan Shikai lived, the scale of this hotel is no less than the Shenyang Hotel, and it is also Lin Daxin's industry.

After the father and daughter met in the hotel room, they couldn't help but smile bitterly at each other, Yuan Shikai sighed and said, "Xiumei, I'm sorry for you, is he okay with you?" ”

Liu Xiumei nodded and said, "He is very good to me, father, are you okay?" Uncle Yuan, are they okay when they go back? "At that time, those Yuan Shikai's subordinates who followed Liu Xiumei to Shenyang, Yuan Biao and others who belonged to Liu Xiumei's leadership, Liu Xiumei pleaded with Lin Daxin, and they were released from the Northeast and returned to Yuan Shikai.

An intriguing look flashed in Yuan Shikai's eyes and said, "Yes! Although this time it is a concubine, the scene can be not small at all, it seems that Governor Lin is indeed good to you! Yuan Biao and they have already entered the Dingwu Army, and their official position as a father has not treated them badly, you don't have to worry! You don't have to worry about your father's body, you can eat and sleep, you can ride a horse, and you can shoot a gun, but as a father, you are often worried about your daughter! ”

After so many years of understanding, Liu Xiumei saw Yuan Shikai's eyes, and knew that he still wanted to use himself to deal with Lin Daxin, Liu Xiumei couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart, and then glanced at the guards who were almost an inch behind her, turned her head to Yuan Shikai and said: "Father, I came here today mainly to tell you one thing, Lin Daxin is not something you can provoke, you don't take any more measures against him in the future, you can't fight him, I don't want to be his woman to speak for him, but I don't want to one day, Father, you died at his hands. And my daughter is about to become his concubine, and I am pregnant with his child in my belly, I don't want to be a widow, my child has no father, so if my father insists on going all the way to the dark, don't blame me Liu Xiumei for not missing the relationship between father and daughter. ”

After Liu Xiumei finished saying a paragraph of both soft and hard, she didn't care about Yuan Shikai's uncertain face, turned around and left with the guards.

After Liu Xiumei went back, she said to Lin Daxin: "After seeing this meeting, I also said what I advised, if he dares to have any conspiracy against her husband in the future, I, Liu Xiumei, will not let him go!" ”

Lin Daxin smiled and hugged Liu Xiumei in his arms and said, "Don't worry about these things, wait for tomorrow to enter the gate of my Lin family!" ”

In the hall of the Shenyang Hotel, dozens of tables of wedding banquets were placed, and this was because all the departments of the Dingbei Army were on the front line, otherwise those division commanders and brigade commanders would have to set up at least 100 tables.

In fact, the concubine ceremony is very simple, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the concubine ceremony officially began, but Liu Xiumei and He Yue gave Ding Xueshan and Du Juan a cup of tea, called sister, Ding Xueshan and Du Juan gave the two new concubines a red envelope to each of them, even if it was over, it didn't take 3 minutes before and after.

It stands to reason that the concubine is over, but Lin Daxin asked that he must worship heaven and earth with Liu Xiumei and He Yue, so the two daughters quickly covered with a red turban, and after bowing to Lin Daxin three times and nine times, they were sent into the cave room.

The British minister Ogener looked at Lin Daxin and the two daughters worshipping heaven and earth, and whispered to the French minister Bi Sheng beside him: "This is the second wedding I have attended this Governor Lin, and every time he marries two ladies together." Are you going to talk to Governor Lin about the captured French warships and naval officers and men with this Governor Lin? ”

French Minister Bi Sheng nodded and whispered: "Indeed, the memorandum signed with the Northeast Navy outside Da Nang in Vietnam some time ago did not mention the matter of the captured warships and the captured naval officers and soldiers, so this time I take this opportunity to stay in Shenyang City for a while longer, and solve the matter of the captured warships and the captured naval officers and soldiers with Lin Daxin." I don't know if Minister Ogener can stay for a few more days and put some pressure on Lin Daxin. ”

The British envoy Ogner shrugged his shoulders and said: "There is no problem for me to stay for a few more days, you must know that now we are allies of Britain and France, but I suggest that you set your target on the captured naval officers and soldiers of your country, as for the captured warships, I don't think you French have any hope of getting back from that greedy Lin Daxin." ”

Bi Sheng sighed and said: "Give it a try, this time our French Navy lost too badly, if we don't get back the captured warships, the entire French Navy will be equivalent to going back for decades." ”

In fact, Bi Sheng didn't have any idea about returning the captured warship, and there was no place for Lin Daxin to have scruples in France now.

The reason why British Minister Ogner said that Britain and France are allies is because just a few days ago, Britain and France reached a consensus on the long-standing colonial issue and signed an Anglo-French entente against Germany and Lin Daxin.

After worshipping heaven and earth, Liu Xiumei and He Yue were sent into the cave room, while Lin Daxin began to toast from table to table, thanking the guests for coming to his concubine ceremony.

Lin Daxin first came to the table of his father Lin Yongsheng and his father-in-law Ding Ruchang, and there were also Prince Gong Yixin and Li Hongzhang and others from the Qing court.

Lin Daxin raised his glass and said: "Thank you Prince Gong, Li Zhongtang and the three commanders of the new army for rushing from Beijing to Shenyang to participate in the happy event of Lin someone, I would like to give you a glass." ”

After everyone toasted together, Lin Daxin nodded lightly to Li Hongzhang, and then went to other tables to toast.

When giving a toast to the foreign ministers, the French minister Bi Sheng said to Lin Daxin: "Governor Lin, I don't know when you will have time, I would like to discuss with you about our captured French naval officers and soldiers. ”

Bi Sheng only mentioned the captured naval officers and soldiers, and did not mention the captured warships at all, for fear that Lin Daxin would hear him ask for the captured warships, so he would not even give him the opportunity to negotiate.

Lin Daxin frowned and said: "Today is my big day, other things will be talked about after today, and we Chinese pay attention to the newlywed Yan'er, if it is convenient, Mr. Minister will stay in Shenyang City for a few days, I will send someone to ask Mr. Minister to come to the Governor's Palace, and then talk in detail about the matter of your country's naval prisoners of war." ”

Hearing what Lin Daxin said, Bi Sheng had no choice but to nod, ready to wait in Shenyang City for Lin Daxin to take time to discuss with him about the captured naval officers and soldiers, anyway, Bi Sheng had already made plans to stay in Shenyang City for a while longer.

At this time, the German minister Klint suddenly said: "Governor Lin, I am also going to stay in Shenyang City for some more time, and after you get married, I hope you will take time out of my time to give me, there are some things that we need to discuss with Governor Lin in Germany." ”

Hearing the words of the German minister Klinder, several foreign ministers at the same table frowned, and they all guessed what the Germans were looking for Lin Daxin to do, among which the French minister Bi Sheng and the British minister Ogener frowned the deepest.

Lin Daxin walked dozens of tables before he finished the toast, although he only drank a small glass at each table, but it added up to a lot, and Lin Daxin, who finished the toast, was already shaking.

Lin Daxin, who was a little drunk, went to Liu Xiumei's room first, and after drinking a glass of wine with her, Liu Xiumei rushed to He Yue's room on the grounds that she was pregnant.

After drinking a glass of wine in He Yue's room, Lin Daxin hugged He Yue to the bed, smiled at He Yue and said, "Your sister Xueshan and Sister Du Juan have given birth to a big fat boy for me, and now your sister Xiumei is also pregnant, so I will send you to sow the seeds today!" ”
