Chapter 169: I Was an Adjutant in the Republic of China (30)
"In fact, the standards for heroes are different in every era." Fu Xianzhi picked up the teacup, "It's a pity, we were all born in troubled times." β
Thomson changed his previous polite attitude, his eyes were sharp, and he looked directly into Fu Xianzhi's eyes, "Then dare to ask Fu Overseer, what is a hero in troubled times?" β
Fu Xianzhi put the cup on the table, and with a slight force, the ceramics collided and made a crisp sound.
"Life and death are calm, and you are loyal to the mountains and rivers." He sat there, his expression was calm, let the sea flow, he was in the posture of a dragon and tiger, when he was in the storm, he was in the depths of the mountains.
Rong Ma's career and half his life are all in this sentence.
After saying this, Fu Xianzhi stood up: "Mr. Thomson, words are not speculative, please." β
Thomson's face turned pale for a while, "Then I'll take my leave, today's matter, if Fu Dujun changes his mind, he can find me at any time." β
With that, Thomson was about to walk away.
At this time, Zhang Zhengze stopped him, "Mr. Thomson." β
He picked up the map from the coffee table, folded it, and handed it to Thomson, "Mr. Thomson, you forgot your things. Since Brother Xian has said that, if I take this map again, won't I be ashamed? You take the map first, and if I can't get any longer, I'll go to you again. β
Thomson took the map and walked away in a huff.
Zhang Zhengze sat on the sofa again, and the whole person was nested in the leather sofa, "Oh, Brother Xian, or your brother will enjoy it, look at you here, it's much more magnificent than my commander's mansion." β
"If Brother Zhengzheng likes it, he will live with me. Your own brothers, you don't need to be polite. Fu Xianzhi casually unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt, and he didn't need to be too formal in the face of Zhang Zhengze.
"Brother Xian, although you are good here, everyone wants to take my head to receive a reward. I'm not as good there as you, but at least it's safer. Zhang Zhengze wanted to drink tea, and found that the tea was cold, so he called Lin Dui: "Adjutant Guan, come, help me add some tea." β
Lin Duan was about to get the teapot when he suddenly changed his mind: "Forget it, Adjutant Guan, don't pour tea, go to the Wenju Bar, I'll have some wine with you Fu Dujun." If you want liquor, Kweichow Moutai or Shanxi Fenjiu, you can do it, in short, don't fool people with foreigners' sour and sweet wine. β
Lin Du looked at Fu Xianzhi with inquiry in his eyes.
Fu Xianzhi nodded at her and agreed, "I will sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman tonight, and cook wine with Brother Zhengzheng to talk about heroes." β
Lin Du quickly prepared the liquor and brought it in.
She helped Fu Xianzhi and Zhang Zhengze set up the wine glasses and poured the wine.
Fu Xianzhi told her: "Qiu Hong, don't stand still, sit down." β
Zhang Zhengze drank a glass of wine first, "Oh, good wine, comfortable, I talked to that Thomson all night, and then I was comfortable." β
"Brother Zhengzheng, why didn't you go back with the troops, but got involved with the Americans?" Fu Xianzhi asked the question he had since he met Zhang Zhengze today.
Zhang Zhengze waved his hand, looking very helpless, "I can't say, Brother Xian, you know, the southern government is a coalition government, and there are many parties." The idea is very good, saying that it is a coalition government and free development, but in fact there is a serious factional struggle between various parties. The party I joined has been in decline for the past two years, and the opposing party has sent members to supervise the war, and he insisted that I accompany Mr. Thomson on this experience. β
"Is this for the sake of partisan struggle at the expense of selling national interests? Would you rather be self-reliant than suppress your party? You stand on your own, and they don't have any good fruit to eat, right? Fu Xianzhi frowned slightly.
Zhang Zhengze pursed his lips, "There's no way, doesn't the main party recognize the Americans as his father, what his father says, does he dare to oppose it?" The Americans hoped that the six provinces of Linjiang would be included in their own forces, because there were still some parties in the southern government that opposed the Americans, so they simply supported another puppet. β
These words answered Lin Dui's question just now.
"What about you? In the cracks, did you get what you were looking for? In fact, Fu Xianzhi has always regretted Zhang Zhengze's departure that year.
"Brother Xian, you are from a famous family and a big family, and you don't understand how difficult it is for those of us who are born as civilians to work in the northern government. Most of the managers in the northern government are people with backgrounds, and people like me can't see a glimmer of light in the northern government. Moreover, the northern government is rotten from the bones, although the Qing Dynasty was overthrown, everyone wants to be the emperor again, which is not my original intention. Zhang Zhengze poured himself another glass of wine, and poured it for Fu Xianzhi by the way.
Fu Xianzhi and Zhang Zhengze clinked glasses, "Brother Zhengze, I know what you said, but the northern government also has a group of people of insight, and I have always thought that the cabinet system is more suitable for our country, and a democratic republic will not work." β
"Fart! I think a democratic republic is good! Zhang Zhengze has a reckless and heroic spirit when he speaks.
Fu Xianzhi poured wine for Zhang Zhengze and comforted him: "Okay, okay, you and my brother, don't talk about politics." We have different beliefs, so we won't talk about that. β
"To tell you the truth, Brother Xian, aside from faith, I actually have opinions about the governments on both sides, that is, why do you have to wag your tail and beg for mercy on those foreigners? They are even a fart, and they dare to run to our land to show off their might. Zhang Zhengze said that he was excited, dancing with his hands, "Look at it, sooner or later Lao Tzu will drive them all out!" β
"Okay, get out!" Fu Xianzhi's voice was very loud.
"What annoys me the most is that these foreigners are taking advantage of the situation that we are now falling apart to make a fuss, and other people's family affairs are his business!" Zhang Zhengze drank a little too much, and his face was red.
What Lin Duan gave them was not the kind of small cup that drank liquor in the tradition, but the glass cup used to drink with Fu Xianzhi last time, a very large cup, and Zhang Zhengze poured half of the wine every time.
"That's it!" Fu Xianzhi agreed, "The matter between our brothers is a political difference. We can solve it ourselves behind closed doors, it's a big deal to fight, everyone is still brothers after the fight, what's the matter with them! β
"They bark, dogs take ratsβnosy." Zhang Zhengze took another half glass of wine and took a sip.
This is the first time Lin Du has seen Fu Xianzhi drink too much, since she came to this world and accompanied Fu Xianzhi to participate in some drinking parties, Fu Xianzhi has never drunk too much. It can be seen that he and Zhang Zhengze are really brothers, so they can be so careless.
Although Zhang Zhengze and Fu Xianzhi have different backgrounds, different growth experiences, and different official experiences, their cultivation and knowledge are also very different, and even their political views and camps are different.
But Lin Du had a strong feeling in his heart that Zhang Zhengze was another Fu Xianzhi in the world.
