Feng Jishan was surprised: "I can't see that you know so many things at a young age, and you are still analyzing the Tao." ”

Di Xiong smiled: "After all, my profession is a detective, and my brother-in-law is Wang Jinming of the Beiyang Army, of course, I know more than others." Brother Feng will be a general in the future, when I go to you, don't refuse! ”

Feng Jishan suddenly sighed and said: "Although the Manchu Qing Dynasty was overthrown and the Republic of China has been established, in order to gain the support of foreign powers, Yuan Shikai continued to recognize the traitorous treaties signed by the Manchu Qing and foreign countries, and the customs, concessions, railways and ports are still in the hands of foreigners, and a large amount of wealth continues to be plundered by foreigners, what is the difference between this and the Manchu Qing Dynasty?" Wang Jinming: Their blood was shed in vain. ”

Di Xiong said: "So Brother Feng must have military power in his hands in the future, so he does not hesitate to temporarily commit himself to the Beiyang Army, only with military power can he have the opportunity to control the government, and only by controlling the government can he abolish the treaty, think about Lao Yuan, isn't it because he has military power and territory in his hands to defeat the revolutionary party and the Qing army and become president?" This is called power from the barrel of a gun. ”

Feng Jishan's face changed, and he felt that he was very reasonable, he stared at Di Xiong and said, "I haven't asked your name for a long time." ”

Di Xiong said: "My surname is Di Mingxiong, the word is from ink, I eat at the Xicheng District Police Station, I saw Brother Feng's hands tight just now, I still have a little money on me, you can use it first." He took out ten silver dollars and handed them to Feng Jishan, although Feng Jishan was extremely poor, he repeatedly refused, and finally only accepted two silver dollars, and declared that he had borrowed it and would definitely pay him back in the future.

Feng Jishan asked, "What does Brother Di say about Yuan Shikai?" ”

Di Xiong said: "When Lao Yuan was twenty-three years old, he became famous in the Jiashen coup d'état in North Korea in 1884, when at the request of the pro-Chinese faction in North Korea, as the Huai military management belt, led 500 battalions to storm the Korean palace, fought more than 300 Japanese troops and the Korean pro-Japanese faction, rescued the Korean king who was held hostage, at that time Lao Yuan was also regarded as a loyal and brave man of the Qing court, and became the minister of trade in Korea with this merit, but after the defeat of the First Sino-Japanese War, the Qing court again ceded land and paid compensation, and Lao Yuan was completely disappointed in the Qing court, and had the ambition to replace it, and he really became an important minister of the court, In the coup d'état of the Restoration 14 years ago, he made meritorious contributions by betraying the reformers, stained his top red with the blood of Tan Si and the other six gentlemen, and became the governor of Shandong, in order to curry favor with foreigners, he wantonly slaughtered the Boxers and their families in Shandong; When the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded China, in order to preserve his strength, he signed a secret agreement with the coalition forces to protect himself in the southeast, and held more than 100,000 troops in Shandong Province, including 30,000 elite German weapons, but he sat back and watched the 20,000 Eight-Nation Coalition troops burn, kill, and loot in Beijing, Tianjin, and Zhili provinces. After the Wuchang Uprising, he sent Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang to lead the Beiyang Army to bloodily suppress the Southern Revolutionary Army. It also suppressed the Wu Luzhen Uprising and the Luanzhou Uprising in the north. He is greedy for money and lustful, with a group of wives and concubines, and in the hearts of the common people, this person is notorious. ”

Feng Jishan sighed and said, "But this person can become the president, and even Mr. Sun in the south can't compete with him." ”

Di Xiong said: "The governors of the Southern Revolutionary Party are fighting for power and profit with each other, killing each other, it is simply a plate of scattered sand, Mr. Sun was originally a doctor, one has no military power, two has no land, three has no money, why fight with Lao Yuan?" Lao Yuan's advantage is that he is good at using money, beauty, and power to win the hearts of generals and foreigners, so he not only has the largest army and the largest territory in China, but also has the support of foreign powers, and the powers know that if they support an unpopular old Yuan as president, China will not be unified, and it will fall into fragmentation for a long time, which is in the interests of the great powers, and they can continue to plunder wealth in China. If Mr. Sun were president, he might build a strong and unified China, and then the customs and concessions would definitely be taken back, which they did not want to see. ”

Feng Jishan said with a smile: "As a detective of the Beiyang government, you dare to say such a rebellious thing, Yuan Shikai will kill you if he knows it." ”

Di Xiong smiled: "I only dare to say this in front of Brother Feng, I believe that Brother Feng will not betray me." ”

Feng Jishan said again: "It is a shameless practice to use money and beauty to win people's hearts, how can it be said to be an advantage? ”

Di Xiong smiled but did not answer, but thought in his heart: "It was your brother who was too loyal and unwilling to use the tricks of the next three indiscriminate tricks that he was later pushed down from the position of the supreme ruler. ”

Feng Jishan said: "I didn't expect Wang Jinming to have a smart and capable brother-in-law like you, who knows the current national affairs well, and the head of the analysis is the Tao." ”

The tea on the table was drunk, and the rest of the snacks were also eaten by Dixiong, who had always been frugal and hated waste. Di Xiong stood at the window, looking at Feng Jishan's departing back, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Di Xiong is not a person of this era, he is a young businessman Di Zhonghan who died in 2012, served as an armed policeman, and after demobilization, he went into business, and when his business was booming, he was hit and killed by several competitors in a car accident. The detective's name is Di Xiong, he is suffering from a serious illness at home, his parents died early, and only an old servant Di Fu takes care of him, Di Fu thinks that the young master is no longer good, and he is ready to take care of the aftermath, after Di Zhonghan is possessed, "Di Xiong" woke up and his illness has recovered, but he doesn't know everything before Di Xiong. Defoe was very loyal to Dickon and thought that the young master was sick and burned out his brain, and tried his best to tell Dichon everything he knew. But he didn't know much about the situation in the police station, so when Di Xiong went to work at the police station, he made a lot of jokes, and his colleague Yuan Baimao nicknamed him "Di Fool". After more than a month of adjustment, he adapted to the new environment.

In his previous life, Di Zhonghan admired two people in the Republic of China era, one was Feng Jishan and the other was Wang Yaqiao. admired Feng Jishan because he trained a strong army of patriotism and discipline, and taught a group of famous anti-Japanese generals such as Zhang Zizhong and Zhao Dengyu; Worship Wang Yashii because he joined forces with the Koreans to assassinate General Shirakawa Yoshinori, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese invasion of China. When he learned that he was reborn in Beijing in 1912, his first thought was to find Feng Jishan, because he knew that this person was the founder of the Northwest Army, which later became famous all over the world, and the later failure of the Northwest Army was actually a loss for the country and the nation. He knew from the history books that in the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the great victory of Xifengkou, Linyi and Taierzhuang were all fought by the remnants of the Northwest Army. He wanted to help Feng Jishan and make the Northwest Army stronger, and at the same time achieve his own career. He knew that Feng Jishan would appear in an inn in Beijing on the third day of the first lunar month, which was the most depressed time. There were too many inns in Beijing, and he searched for two days before he found the Gaosheng Inn. As for Wang Jinming's brother-in-law, of course it's nonsense, it's just a way to get close to Feng Jishan.

After checking out at the teahouse, on the way back to the police station, Di Xiong saw a notice of "store transfer" posted at the door of a small restaurant at the end of the street, and the words "Zhu Ji Hotel" were posted on the black plaque. The floor in the hotel was dark, the tables and chairs were dilapidated, the window paper had long been torn by the cold wind, hanging in bits and pieces, there was not even a single guest inside, and the shopkeeper was a dark and thin middle-aged man, lying on the moldy counter, looking at a worn-out Go book.

Seeing someone come in, the two guys huddled in the corner stood up, their padded jackets were dirty and torn, and one of the black-faced guys stepped forward to greet them: "Sir, come to dinner?" Sorry, the hotel is closed. ”

Di Xiong said: "I see that your store has posted a notice of transfer, and I want to buy this hotel to negotiate the price." Di Xiong knew that an important reason for the later failure of the Northwest Army was the lack of logistical support, and during the bloody battle at Nankou, the soldiers could only eat one meal a day, and in the end they could not even guarantee one meal, even if the army had combat effectiveness, it would be dragged down. Di Xiong believes that in order to change the fate of the Northwest Army, he must set up an industry to make money, and he will be the first industry to buy this hotel.

"Are you really going to buy our hotel?" Another guy who was as thin as a hemp pole asked in surprise. The black-faced guy was also excited, and the shopkeeper also raised his head, revealing a long face full of wrinkles.

Di Xiong looked at the shopkeeper and said, "How much does it cost to transfer this hotel?" ”

The long-faced shopkeeper said, "I'm sorry! I'm not the shopkeeper, you have to talk to the shopkeeper, hemp stick! Go and call the hostess out! The latter words of his words were to the hemp pole guy, and the nickname of this guy was really called hemp pole.

The hemp pole ran into the back hall, and although the young man was thin, he was as fast as a rabbit. After a while, a woman in her thirties came out from behind the curtain, the woman had dignified facial features, clear eyebrows, and she was followed by a little girl in her teens, the little girl's face was white and pink, very cute, like a porcelain doll, they were dressed very shabby, not like the shopkeeper at all.

Di Xiong said strangely: "Why did you call the boss lady out?" What about the boss? ”

The beautiful woman said: "My husband died last month, this hotel I can't afford to operate, so I have to transfer it, this store is worth at least 200 yuan, now I am waiting for the money, you only need to give 50 yuan." ”

Di Xiong asked, "Haven't you asked the boss lady what to call her?" Is this your daughter? It's beautiful, can I take a look at the deed? He reached out to touch the little girl's face, but she avoided her and glared at him.

The beautiful woman said: "My surname is Wei, everyone calls me Sister-in-law Wei, this is my daughter Yuqiong." What is your last name, sir? Where to make a fortune? She took the deed from her bosom and showed it to Dichon.

Di Xiong's reborn family was not wealthy, and the former young master Di Xiong ate, drank, prostituted and gambled, and had already squandered all his family property, leaving him only a set of two old courtyards and a debt of more than 300 silver dollars. After Di Xiong was reborn, he heard about Yuan Baimao, and also went to blackmail a former Qing corrupt official, and got 500 silver dollars, and after paying off the debt, there were more than 100 yuan left.

Di Xiong returned the deed to Sister-in-law Wei after reading it, reported his name and identity, and then said with a smile: "This hotel is really cheap for fifty yuan, and it is sold!" However, I only have eight oceans on me, I will give you five yuan as a deposit, I will go to the bank to withdraw the money now, you immediately find someone to write the transfer paperwork, prepare the formalities, I will bring the rest of the money and the Chinese person to go through the formalities within an hour. ”

Di Xiong took out five silver dollars and handed them to the woman, turned around and went out to call a rickshaw and went straight to the nearest bank. The queue at the bank was very crowded, and a few security guards in blue uniforms were maintaining order. When Di Xiong used a slip to withdraw a hundred silver dollars from the counter, he caught the attention of a girl in black. The girl has a slender figure, wears a large mask on her face, and only shows a pair of beautiful big eyes. She saw Dichon casually slipping two rolls of silver dollars into his trouser pocket (fifty silver dollars each), and she quietly squeezed them over.

Di Xiong only walked out, not seeing the girl in black staring at his pocket, and when he walked to the door, he was bumped by a red-faced boy wearing a peaked cap, and his body was crooked, and he happened to touch the girl in black.
