Because of the war, the establishment of the republic appeared to be somewhat hasty. Whether it was Yuan Shikai's inauguration as president, or Chen Tianhua's formation of the premier's cabinet, and even the later operation and improvement of the government system, they were all completed under the fire of the Russians.

Because of the war, everything is simple.

It's so simple that don't talk about those people, even Lao Yuan, the big president, feels a little regretful. When he became president, only a group of people from Beiyang were present, and only Germany and Austria-Hungary were present at those foreign ministers.

Now everything is fine, this play is sung by the Chinese, not only let Yuan Shikai win a high reputation in China, but also let New China win respect in the international community.

This ceremony was attended not only by the German prince on behalf of Wilhelm II, but also by the Austro-Hungarian emperor. Americans, Japanese, Italians, Dutch, ambassadors of many countries will be present, and even the British, who have severed diplomatic relations with China, will let Mr. Zhu Erdian, who is in Beijing, attend as a kind of guest.

Yuan Shikai always wanted to make up for the regret in his heart, and this first year's celebration was actually a make-up of the founding ceremony of the republic. Lao Yuan has already said that it must be done lively, decently.

"Xiaolin, can't you wait a few days before leaving? I know the truth that the fighter plane is lost when it makes a mistake, but you can let Zhiquan and them deal with it first, can't you go to the front line after the ceremony? Why don't you take the time to come back? ”

Yuan Shikai said to Yang Xiaolin while trying on the Hanfu designed for him by a special costume designer in the mirror.

He said this sincerely. Yuan Shikai was afraid that Yang Xiaolin would snatch his position at first. But after Commander Yang entered Beijing, he threw his mind on the battlefield, and Lao Yuan felt that his ass was getting more and more stable.

Hanfu is very well-fitted, and a figure like Yuan Shikai is really a bit nondescript to wear a Western dress, and when he wears Hanfu, it looks a little more pleasing to the eye than before.

China now has many ready-to-wear workshops specializing in Hanfu, which is not mandatory for Yuan Shikai, but he took the lead in wearing it, and his Beiyang people followed suit. In addition, this dress does render China's national sentiment. It really caught on very quickly.

Of course, it's just a fashion, and Lao Yuan didn't say that everyone must wear it.

Yang Xiaolin did not express any opinion on the issue of Hanfu, he was that concept. It's just a piece of clothing. He can be seen as a catharsis of national sentiments. But there is no need to go online. So he didn't object to a piece of clothing.

"Forget it, it's troublesome to run back and forth. Besides, I can't talk to those foreigners. Yuan Gong, this time I may not be back for a year and a half. I want to bring Jung-jeong with me, don't you have any opinions? ”

Lao Yuan's eyes narrowed, and a smile leaked from the corner of his mouth: "It should be." It's just that the girl has a bad temperament, so I'm afraid of causing you some trouble. ”

Yang Dagui wanted to take Yuan Zhongzhen to Mongolia, and this proposal made Yuan Shikai feel a strangeness. Yang Xiaolin is clearly stipulated in the army that he is not allowed to bring his family when he goes out to fight, and he has always set an example, Shen Dan has followed him for so many years, and he has never taken Shen Dan with him when he is fighting.

It seems that even if Yang fights ghosts, even if he is a hero, he is still a man.

Lao Yuan has even made a decision at this time, if Yang Xiaolin is really willing to give up the position of president to himself and not cause him any trouble, then in the affairs of the army, the volunteers will be volunteers, the whole world is Yuan, he is his son-in-law, so he doesn't need to care so much.

"This time, I asked Zhiquan and the dog to go with you, and I have already made it clear to them, and I will listen to you all the way. You don't have to worry about it at home, I'll handle everything, take a telegram to me if you need anything, and I'll be close to you no matter how difficult it is. ”

Yang Xiaolin nodded, at this time, Yuan Keding walked in from outside with a smile on his face, and before he entered the door, he began to shout: "Dad, the student team at the ceremony has been organized, the students personally selected by Ren Gong, and I also invited the people of the Kong family from Qufu, Shandong......"

He was just halfway through his words, and after entering the door and seeing Yang Xiaolin, he stopped abruptly: "Yo, my sister-in-law is also there?" Don't you have to go to the army today? ”

Yang Xiaolin smoked a cigarette, and the expression on his face did not change in the slightest: "Oh, I'm about to go on an expedition, I want to say goodbye to Yuan Xuan." Yuan Gong, that's all I said, if there is nothing to do, I will go to the army now. Just go, and you won't say hello anymore. ”

Yuan Shikai glared at Yuan Keding, and when his eyes turned to Yang Xiaolin, he became much softer: "Okay, then let's say so." The wind is cold in the north, so you have to know to take care of your body. ”

"Thank you Yuan Gong for your concern."

As soon as Yang Xiaolin went out, Yuan Shikai slapped Yuan Keding on the head: "Frizzy thing!" When will you be able to calm down! ”

Yuan Keding said quite aggrievedly: "I didn't expect him to be here at this time." Besides, he's going to go on the expedition now, and let him know that it's no big deal. ”

Lao Yuan was very angry, but in the end he didn't get angry again: "Someone invited? ”

Yuan Keding suddenly came to the spirit: "Please!" And it went very smoothly, you are worried that they are reluctant to come out, but as a result, I went to Qufu to show my identity, and the Kong family immediately came to the door! ”

Lao Yuan nodded: "It's good to come." Let Ren Gong arrange it, first give some speeches at the university, and then find some reporters to give them publicity, the intensity must be large, we don't have much time. ”

Yuan Keding suddenly said: "The most hateful thing is the newcomer Cai Yuanpei, what do you say he is a university professor singing to us?" If it weren't for him, how could it be like this? Dad, why don't I clean him up? ”

Lao Yuan glared: "Nonsense!" ”

Just like Yang Xiaolin estimated, what Lao Yuan did after restoring Hanfu was to respect Kong! And he did not implement it first in the whole society like the restoration of Hanfu, but chose the battlefield of the school first.

Originally, everything was going well, and the Ministry of Education was Liang Qichao in charge. Liang Qichao also admires Zunkong very much, plus Lao Yuan invests a lot of energy in education, those principals and professors have a good impression of him, and Sun Wen has no ability to fight back in this battlefield.

Yuan Shikai played a very shrewd abacus, first agitating students, and then letting a group of students come out to worship Confucius at the ceremony, causing a social sensation, as long as his own propaganda was in place, coupled with the impact of the restoration of Hanfu, it was enough to make Mr. Sun Wen's imported concept of freedom be submerged in the vast sea of Confucian culture.

A month ago, at the National Provisional Education Conference, Liang Qichao put forward the idea of respecting Confucius, and Lao Yuan also greeted those professors. I didn't think anyone would object. As a result, Cai Yuanpei, a professor at Beijing Normal University, stood up at this time. In the face of everyone's approval, he put forward his own opinion, saying that schools should not worship Confucius.

Cai Yuanpei's reasoning is that China is now in a period of transition, and students should have full academic freedom, and the concept should be open. The exchange of Eastern and Western cultures should be allowed. It is not up to the government to come forward and organize the Zunkong campaign to convey an attitude of resistance to Western ideas.

As soon as this statement came out. That's a word that wakes up the dreamer. Only then did Mr. Sun Wen realize what kind of trick Lao Yuan was playing! As a result, the revolutionary parties opposed it, and in the end, the school's plan for honoring Confucius was not enacted.

However, the course "Confucius" has been added to the school management regulations.

Yuan Shikai found the descendants of the Confucian family from Shandong to teach Confucianism, and this course is very strange. In other courses, students pay their professors, but Confucius not only does not need to be paid, but also receives subsidies from the government.

Lao Yuan explained that the purpose of learning Confucianism was to let students know how to respect ethics and promote etiquette, he said: "China is a nation, and filial piety, loyalty, courtesy, righteousness, and honesty are the great scriptures of humanity. Although the form of government has changed, the people have not changed. At present, in the midst of the country's internal and external troubles, I hope that the people of the whole country will abide by the law of etiquette and help each other in times of difficulty. There is an opportunity for goodness in the hearts of the people, which is the foundation of the country. ”

Lao Yuan was using moral preaching to divert Mr. Sun Wen's attention, in a vain attempt to use this roundabout way to make Zun Confucius be promoted, and replace the little idea of pursuing democracy and freedom that had just been established in the hearts of the people with the Confucian idea of foolishness.

It's a really good strategy. It's a pity, if Mr. Sun Wen is too idealistic, how can Yuan Shikai's idea be said, it can only be said that he is going against the sky. What is Heavenly Principle? Tianli is the trend and the trend, when Lao Yuan goes against the trend, he is doomed to failure, Yang Xiaolin knows that even if Yang Du doesn't do it, Lao Yuan will not succeed.

Lao Yuan thought that he was doing a very steady job, testing the people's bottom line step by step, first restoring Hanfu, and respecting Kong without encountering resistance. But Yuan Shikai didn't understand, many people had the same idea as Commander Yang in their hearts, Hanfu was just a piece of clothing, and there was no need to argue about whether it would be restored or not.

But Zunkong is a kind of philosophy, and when there is a conflict of ideas, there are people who immediately stand up against it.

Yang Xiaolin's footsteps walked out of Lao Yuan's presidential palace, he glanced back, and he really felt some emotion in his heart. In history, the defeat of Lao Yuan made the originally united Beiyang fall apart, and China fell into war, but this time he took away the Beiyang Army and the revolutionary army, Sun Wen and Yuan Shikai could only fight a war of words, and the civil war could not be fought.

It's just that I went out this time, and when I come back, there may be a lot of people here. If Yuan Shikai, who is proud now, really wants to go against this trend, it is estimated that it will be difficult to avoid the knife that Yang Huizi is about to insert into him.

Zhang Zuolin got out of the car next to him and looked at Yang Xiaolin with a smile: "Commander, can you go?" ”

Yang Xiaolin nodded, but his head unconsciously looked back again.

Zhang Lao Wu asked, "What?" Reluctant to go? ”

Yang Xiaolin retracted his thoughts, shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm reluctant to go, it's just that I'm a little apprehensive about leaving." On the one hand, I'm worried about whether I can do a good job, and on the other hand, I always feel that Lao Tzu is working hard outside, and these guys are fighting at home, which is quite uncomfortable. ”

Zhang Zuolin looked at him for a while and said, "Commander, from the day you pulled the pole, our brothers fought to the death on the battlefield, for what?" It doesn't matter whether the child can do a good job, the important thing is that we Chinese can also play politics with peace of mind. ”

"Haha! You make so much sense! Well, order all troops to attack according to the predetermined plan! Lao Tzu took out the Russians and let them have fun. (To be continued......)
