When the news of the failure of China's diplomacy at the Paris Peace Conference came, Chinese intellectuals exploded.

In the streets of some major cities in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, excited students held up slogans written in blood to complain to the Beiyang government and imperialism.

Huang Ke knew that at any time and in any place, highly educated intellectuals were the foresight of the nation, but they would never be the main body of the Chinese revolution. Because at that time, it was the poor peasants who accounted for the majority of China, not these intellectuals.

Although he had known about this matter for a long time, when Huang Ke heard that Japan was going to send troops to the Jiaodong Peninsula, the blood in his heart was like spring water, but he couldn't calm down for a long time.

Even though he was a bystander who had crossed over, and even though he had been aware of the diplomatic machinations of the Paris Peace Conference, he still had a dull pain in his chest when he heard that Japan was going to take over German rights and interests in Shandong.

"Motherland! A motherland full of holes! ...... "At this time, Huang Ke really wanted to lead the army north and sweep away those invaders with a sharp sword.

But he was unarmed.

Sometimes they even show powerlessness.

After the May Fourth Movement broke out in Beijing, patriotic student movements also broke out in Guangzhou. On May 4, the Provincial Student Federation issued a statement calling on all patriots to come together to send a message to the Paris Peace Conference.

"Down with the traitors!" "Boycott Japanese products!" …… Within a few days, angry students poured into the streets, expressing their dissatisfaction and indignation with their own practical actions.

Mo Rongxin, the warlord of Guangzhou, was busy preparing for the war between him and Chen Jiongming, and he had no time to take care of the students' demands, so he didn't take it seriously at the beginning of the movement. As the students flocked to the Overseer's palace and the provincial government, he instructed the police chief to take matters into his charge.

The police chief didn't take it seriously either, could the unarmed students scare him? Military police were sent to drive them away by force, and no one was sent to talk to the students.

But the move undoubtedly fueled the anger of the students even more. The students did not give up, and as the wave of national movement gradually intensified, the students in Guangzhou began to prepare for a new round of movement.

In the team of this movement, the students of Guangzhou Higher Normal University are the main body, and Fu Jin is naturally among them. Because of her special identity and her usual active thinking, she is also one of the organizers of a student union in this patriotic movement.

Once the movement began, she was responsible for communicating with the outside world and mobilizing more people to do the movement. Fu Jin is very active, she first found her younger brother Fu Guoqiang, and asked him to also mobilize the students of their school to participate in the movement, and then, she united with the student representatives of major schools in Guangzhou, and in just a few weeks, a large number of students were mobilized to participate in the activities.

After mobilizing the students, the Federation felt that the strength of the student movement was too weak, and after discussion at the meeting, they decided to mobilize businessmen and workers to join the movement.

Fu Jin found Huang Ke at this time, and remembering Huang Ke's article about China's diplomacy at the Paris Peace Conference some time ago, she couldn't help but admire this person in her heart.

Fu Jin knew that Huang Ke was the chief instructor of the training army of the Guangzhou merchant group, and he still had a certain prestige in the merchant group, if he could find his help at this time, then the businessman's side would be just around the corner.

One day in June, Fu Jin came to the small sample building where Huang Ke lived in Xiguan to find Huang Ke, Huang Ke was not at home that day, he went to the training site early in the morning to see the specific training matters of the merchant army.

Huang Ke had long expected the outbreak of the May Fourth Movement, but he didn't expect that Guangzhou would be so powerful, although Huang Ke also knew that those students were right, but in such an environment, it was impossible to make the country rich and strong by relying on the student movement alone.

When she first entered the house, Zhao Xiaowan received Fu Jin, looking at Fu Jin's pure and moving appearance, Zhao Xiaowan couldn't help but feel a little like, but she still had a woman's vigilance, because the last time Huang Ke talked to her about this girl, the look in her eyes was clearly different.

After all, Zhao Xiaowan is a woman who has stayed abroad and seen the world, after seeing Fu Jin come in, she politely walked down from the upstairs bedroom to receive her, and after the two sat down in the living room after tea, Zhao Xiaowan talked with Fu Jin.

"Last time I heard Mr. talk about you, he said that you are ice and snow smart, I still don't believe it, today I look at it, this appearance is really true, the girl can give birth to you like this, that is also content."

Zhao Xiaowan was rarely polite to Fu Jin, but Fu Jin also heard the meaning of these words, which directly showed that Huang Ke was her man.

Fu Jin didn't think about these children's affairs, although she had a good impression of Huang Ke from the bottom of her heart, but she didn't want to talk about these things for the time being.

Hearing what Zhao Xiaowan meant, she just smiled: "I didn't come to him this time for a personal matter, but for a big event." ”

Zhao Xiaowan was quite dissatisfied with the answer made up by Fu Jin, "What is there to talk about between you?" He's a military instructor, you're a student at school......"

Fu Jin asked tentatively: "I don't know if my sister heard Mr. Huang talk about the Paris Peace Conference?" ”

Zhao Xiaowan shook her head, to be honest, she is the sister of a giant businessman, in addition to some entertainment and pastime, she cares more about some business things, and she really doesn't pay much attention to any national affairs and the like.

"Brother Huang published an article in the newspaper a few days ago about China's diplomacy in the Paris Peace Conference, and now the facts have proved Brother Huang's judgment, our diplomacy has really failed! Now, we students in Guangzhou are ready to unite all sectors of society to put pressure on the government and oppose the government's signing of this traitorous contract. ”

Fu Jin said impassionedly, in addition to showing pity for the country in his eyes, when he mentioned Huang Ke, he even admired Huang Ke a little.

These are all seen by Zhao Xiaowan, to be honest, she is indeed inferior to Fu Jin in this aspect.

"Sister, I've only heard a little about what you're talking about, but I don't know much. You have to go to Huang Ke, I'm afraid it won't be easy to find, he went to the escort of the merchant army, and he won't be able to come back for a while, or else, I'll tell her about these things when he comes back. ”

After Zhao Xiaowan finished speaking, Fu Jin felt that it was not a way to wait here, it seemed that he had to go back. After chatting with Zhao Xiaowan for a while, she left the Huang family.

Fu Jin went directly to the school after leaving, there were still a lot of things waiting for her in the school, and he hadn't been home for several days these days.

But as soon as she arrived at the school, a few students ran over and hurriedly said to her, "Oh no, no! Your brother was arrested by the police......"
