Chapter 16 Chapter 22

Xu Shuzheng lived in seclusion in Shanghai. Although he felt uncomfortable, he was helplessly calm.He has no intention of visiting friends, and friends rarely visit him. After "Jianguo Quanzhen" was finished, he wanted to sort out the poem drafts for many years-in the past, Shen Dinglan kept them for him; when Dinglan was seriously ill, he gave them to his sister Shupei.Now I don't know if it's all incomplete? Xu Shuzheng once asked Shupei, but Shupei shook her head and said, "Come on, let's go, a piece of "Interpretation of the Truth" will kill people, how can we organize some poems again? ?Besides, those things have been tidied up, and I am afraid that there will be no time to tidy them up in the future. If you don't do it yourself, someone will do it."

Xu Shuzheng also obeyed her arrangement honestly.When I am free, I will either visit the Wei Beibei or teach Shupei to sing Kunqu opera. One day, a thin man about sixty years old hurried to Xu Shuzheng.Without saying a word, he held his head in his hands and began to cry twitchingly. After Xu Shuzheng was surprised, he helped him up and looked at him from the front, but he saw that his long face was yellow and thin, wrinkled, and the glasses on his nose had lost their luster. He wore a hat shop, a long gown, and carried a small ocher suitcase. . "You..." Xu Shuzheng obviously couldn't remember who this person was.The man wiped away his old tears before he broke down in tears and said, "Boss Xu, you don't know me anymore? You should know me!"

Xu Shuzheng narrowed his eyes, frowned, and thought for a long time, but still couldn't remember. "The years are not so far away! I'm afraid we have changed too much, so you don't know each other." The man kept wiping his tears. "When Dujun Ni led me to Beijing to meet you, what a sight it was! We are also very beautiful in Tianjin. Mr. Xu, you even let me be the chief financial officer! A dream is really like a dream... " "Are you Zhusan?" Xu Shuzheng suddenly remembered: "Wang Zhilong and Wang Zhusan of Tianjin?" "I'm Wang Zhusan. It's rare that the boss hasn't forgotten. Based on this, I have to kowtow to the boss." As he said, he really fell down and knelt down.

Xu Shuzheng rushed to pull him, and kept saying: "Zhu San, what are you doing? It's rare to see him in the wind and rain. If you do this, don't you look outside?" Wang Zhilong got up from the ground, calmed down, sat down on the chair, stood up again immediately, still sobbing and said: "Mr. And the ability to govern the country and stabilize the people. I, Wang Zhilong, will not flatter people in my life, but I dare say that today, there is no other person in China who can govern the country and stabilize the country except you, Boss Xu! But, come back .Look, Li Songqing, Feng Huafu, Xu Buwu, and even Cao Laosan have all become the president! The conscience of heaven and earth, who has the talent of a king and a landlord..."

Xu Shuzheng shook his head and sighed: "Zhu San, don't talk about it, don't talk about it. China is not a country where people do their best. We are unlucky. You can rest here. I heard that your situation is not going well. Let's talk about it." talk." "I inquired everywhere, and I came to Shanghai to find you after all kinds of difficulties, and I also confide in you. Only you can relieve the depression in my heart, so I came to you." Xu Shuzheng arranged a place for Wang Zhilong, and asked him to take a bath and change clothes, and then the two drank wine facing each other...

Wang Zhilong, born in Tianjin, was born in a family of hawkers.He was originally a clerk in the grain store, but was fired for cheating.There is no proper occupation to do, so he works in the food industry.Relying on drilling operations, buying short and selling short, and speculating.Made a windfall.When he made his fortune, he was just catching up with the warlords. He believed that the soldiers were powerful, so he bent on wooing the soldiers and spent his days drinking and drinking.In this way, he made a group of fox friends and dog friends.One day, when he was playing tea in the Tianbao class in Sanwu Daxingli, it suddenly started to rain cats and dogs.Wang Zhilong couldn't leave, so he planned to stay overnight.

Coincidentally, the family living next door.A game is being set.It is raining heavily.When there were not enough gamblers, someone started to yell and curse: "His mother is so unlucky, he can't sit down, walk and walk." Wang Zhilong asked the female palm class: "Who is next door? Yelling and making a fuss." The female leader smiled and said: "But you can't afford to offend people, don't ask." "I just want to ask, aren't they just a few gamblers!" "Gambling ghosts can be big or small. Do you know who they are?" "What kind of people, at the beginning of the game, win or lose based on ideas!"

"You said General Ni Ni Sichong gambled here?" "It's not him!" The female palm said a little mysteriously: "You still bring guards with you when you gamble!" Wang Zhilong squinted his eyes and thought about it, thinking that this is not an ordinary casino, betting loses and wins is trivial, and he might lose his head.It was also Wang Zhilong, a green-skinned hooligan who was not afraid of the sky, straightened his neck, and was bold and courageous. He walked over and volunteered to join the game.It is also time for Wang Zhilong to reach his prime.After Shu was over, Ni Sichong won a full 40,000 yuan.

Ni Sichong was not bad at the casino, he took out a check, filled it out, and handed it to Wang Zhilong.Wang Zhilong lowered his face on purpose, and said: "General Ni, what are you doing? The little one is very lucky to sit at the same table with the general. I will never accept this money." guide." Ni Sichong said: "The gambling game is also a game, and the game has rules. Originally, we came here to win or lose. If we win, we will not accept it. How can we do that!" "What's the matter?" Wang Zhilong said generously, "It's just a play on the occasion, so I laughed it off. Daddy, I won, and I want to collect the general's money; tomorrow, I lost. If I can't write a check, I don't believe that the general will die." Me! Money is something you don't have, but friends are hard to buy!"

Wang Zhilong said so.Ni Sichong was overjoyed: "I didn't expect there to be a gentleman in the casino!" He hurriedly stretched out his hand, pulled Wang Zhilong and said, "Mr. Wang will take care of her, let's relax! I want to ask Mr. Wang to meet Tianbao class again tomorrow!" "It's a deal, and I'm waiting for you!" Wang Zhilong was originally a person in a chaotic society.He is good at flattering people with clever words, and he can use the rudder according to the wind.Before long, he became a close friend of the Overseer.Ni Sichong knew that Wang Zhilong was from a grain company, so he had the ability to calculate and calculate carefully.When he returned to Anhui, he took him to Bengbu and sent him to help with the food for the Anwu army.Wang Zhilong has a place to use his skills.He showed his skills greatly and produced several books that made Ni Sichong very satisfied.

Ni Sichong is the backbone of the Anhui Clan, and he wants to be loyal to Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng.First, he praised Wang Zhilong in front of Xu Shuzheng for how good he is.Later, he was brought to Beijing to meet Xu Shuzheng. Wang Zhilong is considerate.Articulate.He was very appreciated by Xu Shuzheng.Coincidentally, just in time for Xu Shuzheng to engage in the Anfu Congress, Wang Zhilong was appointed as a member of the Senate.When the cabinet is reshuffled.Let him be the chief financial officer for a few days.Wang Zhilong has a lot of money and is good at buying.Pay a lot of money to buy Tianjin "Ta Kung Pao" to anoint him personally.then.He has become a smash hit! Talk about the new chaebol in Tianjin.In addition to Cao Kun's younger brother Cao Rui, he is Wang Zhilong. Good dreams don't last long. After the Zhiwan War, Duan Qirui suffered a crushing defeat.The tree fell and the hozen dispersed, and Wang Zhilong was listed as the first batch of culprits by Ying Kun.From then on, he had to hide and hide. Xu Shuzheng warmly entertained Wang Zhilong, and Wang Zhilong was so grateful! Although the conversation was speculative, it was not without sadness.Xu Shuzheng talked about his trip to Fujian.Wang Zhilong scolded Li Houji first.Later scolded Wang Yongquan.When Xu Shuzheng mentioned Sun Yat-sen, Wang Zhilong immediately said: "Boss, you can send me to Guangzhou. I dare say that Sun Yat-sen is a capable person, and he will have a bright future." Xu Shuzheng pondered for a moment and said: "It is also a way to go to Sun Yat-sen. However, Sun Yat-sen is a revolutionary party after all. We can only join forces with him and cannot take refuge in him." "So..." Wang Zhilong couldn't figure out Xu Shuzheng's train of thought for a while. Xu Shuzheng reminded him: "Unity is unity. Unity is not one. If we can unite today, we can divide tomorrow. Besides, Hefei is not at ease depending on others, do you understand? One day, we have to go back to Beijing. "Oh!" Wang Zhilong was excited when he heard this, he immediately picked up the wine glass and drank it clean. "I don't want you to go to someone." Xu Shuzheng said: "The big thing right now is to find a way to keep you safe. One day we will establish a government, and you have to manage the finances!" Wang Zhilong was so flattered that he didn't know what to say, so he just nodded and rubbed his hands. Xu Shuzheng said again: "There is still a difficult journey until that day. Zhu San, Shanghai is not stable, and China is not stable either. They are not safe places. I think so, you go to Japan to hide first. Come back then." "I..." Wang Zhilong opened his hands, obviously to show his embarrassment. Xu Shuzheng shook his head with a smile, and said, "We're not that embarrassing yet. I'll take care of everything. After completing the formalities and tickets, I'll see you off." Wang Zhilong said many things to be grateful for.Xu Shuzheng said: "Stop saying that, it's not just for yourself, it's for all of us. We have to work together in the future!" Soon after, Xu Shuzheng personally sent Wang Zhilong aboard—he originally wanted to leave a good housekeeper for the Anhui family.Unexpectedly, Wang Zhilong had no life and no blessings. Not long after he arrived in Yokohama, Japan, a major earthquake occurred there, and the building collapsed, killing him.This is a later story, so there is no need to repeat it. After the Zhiwan War, Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng were forced to leave Beijing, and Cao Kun was so proud that he became the "Northern Overlord." Some people said: "Cao Kun has no ambitions, and he is satisfied with an overlord. Therefore, after gaining power, he even pulled out Li Yuanhong to become the president. This man was finally kicked out by Duan Qirui because of the "dispute between the government and the court" Cao Kun doesn’t like him anymore within half a year of his return to power.” This kind of thing changes his face when he gains power.Don't think about it, the water in my river, Cao Zhongshan, can carry a boat or capsize it!" Cao Kun couldn't sit still, so he took his counselors and staff to the secret room and closed the door to "plan countermeasures".In those days, it was brother who had the biggest fists, and the warlords ranked positions based on their strength. Naturally, the militants asked Cao Kun to mobilize troops to push Li Yuanhong down.Cao Kun frowned and thought about it, but he didn't make a decision.He was pondering: "The war has just ended, the soldiers are exhausted, and the wealth is declining. If we fight again, the army will be unknown, and at the same time, the vitality will be low. If someone takes advantage of the fire to rob, it will be a mistake!" Someone suggested: "Why don't you pass the Congress and get some votes? Get out of Huangpi! Then make a president, at worst, spend a few dollars." This opinion inspired Cao Kun: "It's a way. I have a lot of money, and I need to use it in the right place. There is no rush for other things, just buy it." A president can be regarded as one action!" So he made a decision: "Okay, let's buy it!" To buy bribes, you naturally have to find a member of parliament, and to find a member of parliament, you must first find the speaker.Cao Kun called Wang Tan, the deputy chief of staff, to him, and said by his nickname, "Yangyi, I know that you have an unusual relationship with Wu Datou. I have something to ask you: please go find him." Wang Tan was startled: "What do you mean by asking me to find Datou Wu?" Cao Kun said Datou Wu was Wu Jinglian, who is currently the speaker of the National Assembly.Buying congressmen to find the speaker is the right way.Where did Wang Tan come from? It turned out that he had a ghost in his heart-- Wang Tan was a well-known gentleman in Huajie at that time. He often searched for flowers and asked willows, and finally found Wu Datou's wife, Xu Yuheng, Mrs. Xu.Like-minded, every day will not.This matter has already been stormy all over the city.However, Wang Tan is most afraid of being mentioned.Especially when Wu Datou became the righteous president of the National Assembly, he was even more afraid that one day Datou would ask someone to "resent him for taking his wife" for him. "Marshal", Wang Tan said with some palpitations, "Wu Jinglian is not very good, it is not easy to ask him to do things." "Isn't it enough for us to show filial piety to him?" Cao Kun recounted the matter of buying votes through Wu Jinglian, and then said: "I don't believe it, but you can't find the temple gate with a pig's head in your hand?" Wang Tan understood, he felt relieved, and said: "It should have been done this way, but..." "How is it?" "I heard that Hefei, in collusion with Zhang Yuting, is discussing alliance with Sun Yat-sen in Shanghai. Members of Parliament have gone south one day, and they have the intention of taking refuge in them." "Then, let's do it quickly!" Cao Kun said, "Prepare the gift thicker, what do you think?" "Do you have a background, and how thick is it?" "How about three big heads per person?" Wang Tan knew that Cao Kun had accumulated quite a lot of property in the past few years, and it might not be a good thing to leave it to his descendants, so he wanted to take the opportunity to grab it, so he said: "In theory, three thousand is not a lot, but it's just that each faction They are all pulling people, every penny more is more insurance. If you think about it from this aspect..." "Yes, yes," said Cao Kun, "you can do as you see fit. Wu Datou can also give you another generous gift." "Then I'll try." Wang Tan had a high-sounding "reason", so he became more daring to go to Xu Yuheng like this.So, I set off in a hurry, entered Beijing, and plunged into Ma Xian Hutong.Wu Jinglian's bodyguards and servants all knew Wang Tan, and they knew something about him, not to mention that he was Cao Kun's confidant, so he didn't need to report, and no one stopped him, so Wang Tan walked into the courtyard.Instead of going to the living room, he went straight to Mrs. Xu's room. Xu Yuheng's room door was closed and he was taking a shower in the bathroom. When Wang Tan came in, it was very quiet, except for the sound of "squeaking" water in the bathroom.Knowing that Xu Yuheng was inside, he walked lightly to the door and took out the key.Go open the bathroom door. This was not a rash act, he had the key to Mrs. Xu's secret room in his hand, and he knew how to open the door; at the same time, he knew that Mrs. Xu was very strict with Datou Wu, and he would not dare to enter the room without "orders", and he would leave after finishing his work.Taking a leisurely bath like this, the big head would not dare to be in front of him no matter what.Therefore, he dared to open the door and barge in. Xu Yuheng heard the noise and thought it was Datou Wu coming.She knew that Wu Datou didn't have a key, but she still cursed angrily: "What are you doing? Get out!" Wang Tan had already pushed the door open and walked in with a smile. "You are very comfortable! Why don't you call me?" "Ah, ah?" Xu Yuheng was shocked at first, and when he saw Wang Tan, he immediately said with anger instead of anger: "It's you bastard, why did you come in without making a sound?" "It's not the convenience you gave me." Then, he moved to the side of the bathtub and reached out to rub her back.As she rubbed and rubbed, she gradually moved her hands from her back to her chest, and then fiercely rubbed those breasts that were as tender as lotus root. "My little girl, these two things are still so full, what are they eating?" Xu Yuheng, who has just turned 30, has wrinkles on his temples, but his figure still maintains a youthful beauty.The heart is naturally delicate. When Wang Tan saw it, his heart and sex became hot.He rubbed the mold horizontally and vertically for a long time without distinguishing between top and bottom. "Water, water!" Xu Yuheng said: "The whole body is covered with water, so you're not afraid of getting your clothes wet, and you won't be able to see anyone?" "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!" Wang Tan still pestered him. "I just like you, I like you..." He tried to lift her naked body out of the tub with both hands. She broke free. "What are you busy with? Wait for me to wipe off the water on my body." Wang Tan found a dry towel and wiped the water stains on Xu Yuheng's body.Then, he carried her out of the bathroom, put her on the bed, and was busy undressing her again. "No!" Xu Yuheng said loudly: "I don't know what kind of bitch you have been with these two days, and you smell bad. If you don't wash it, don't try to touch my body!" Wang Tan had no choice but to get into the clinic. Then Xu Yuheng is also the most beautiful person in the Fengyue field.Marry Wu Datou, often because of his "sunset Xishan" and distressed.It was really "enjoyed" to catch up with Wang Yangyi, who was born in the army.then.Every day, I live the days of "not seeing each other every day, like three autumns".Wang Tan and Cao Kun often live in Baoding, so she asked him to come to Beijing every three days.Wang Tan met today by chance, so she naturally liked it very much.She didn't wait until he finished washing her body, and she hurried into the bathroom naked, and after a while, Xu Yuheng asked, "Why are you here suddenly today?" "I miss you!" Wang Tan hugged her and kissed her for a long time, and said, "I'm so flustered!" "I don't believe it." Xu Yuheng said while combing his messy black hair, "I'm afraid there will be no women to hug again? Why do you take me to heart?" "The conscience of heaven and earth, the queen of heaven and earth, I can be against the sky..." Xu Yuheng suddenly covered his mouth: "Who asked you to swear? How much I am in your heart, don't you know? With how many beautiful women in the world, how much you have provoked, you want to take away my love in your heart. The location is difficult!" "Good boy, you're right." Wang Tan put his arms around the woman's neck again, and gnawed hard for a long time.Then he said: "Yuheng, to tell you the truth, I came today because I really have something else to do." Xu Yuheng immediately lowered his face: "Black-hearted ghost! If I knew you had something to do, I came here, and I have to scold you if I scold you. Are you happy?" That's enough, you actually said you have something to do. Why don't you go to the living room if you have something to do, what are you doing here?" He said, pulling up the quilt to cover his head, and then ignored him. Wang Yangyi knew that the woman was acting like a baby, and also knew that what she said was inappropriate, so she hurriedly sat on the edge of the bed, rubbing and hugging, comforting and swearing for a long time, before she explained in detail that Cao Kun wanted to buy the president through the congressmen.Then, he lifted the woman's quilt from her head, put her face close to her face, and said, "Who doesn't know that Cao Laosan has several gold mountains around his waist, and he doesn't know how to spend the flowers. Take the money and send it to our door." , why don't we?!" The woman listened to Qian's heart, sat up hastily, and turned her anger into joy, but she still said: "What are the congressmen willing to do?" Wang Tan said with a smile: "Who is afraid of money biting their hands? When the money is in hand, will you give him a blank sheet of paper? Even if he is not elected, Cao Kun will not ask the MP for silver dollars." "Then how much can he give us?" Mrs. Xu asked. "How much do you want?" Wang Tan said. Mrs. Xu didn't know, she was afraid that there would be fewer, so she said, "Wait a minute, I'll call you old man." Wu Jinglian saw Wang Tan enter his house.He was sullen, and when he heard his wife call, he refused to answer.When his wife came to him and explained what he had said, he turned his anger into joy and said, "Yangyi came here for this matter. I'll go see him." When Wu Jinglian met Wang Tan, he succeeded in a few words.Wang Tan said:;.Brother, don't be afraid, when the time comes, you can send a notice of the meeting, preside over the meeting, and express your attitude; everyone has accepted Cao Zhongshan's gift, who will say anything.Now that the matter is over, you must give big brother a big gift!" "This sum..." Wu Jinglian wanted to find out. "What do you think?" Wang Tan asked. "He figured out a number." Cao Kun's money is all in his home in Tianjin.The housekeeper is the fourth son Cao Rui.This is a typical miser, and the iron hook can't even try to get money out of his hook.Cao Kun spent a lot of money this time, so he had to go to Tianjin himself.The two brothers bargained until Cao Kun said, "This is a great cause for generations to come. From now on, the children and grandchildren will all be dragons." Cao Rui agreed to "give the third brother 10 million silver dollars" from his family. The matter on the Congress side was almost over, and Cao Kun sent Wang Chengbin, the governor of Zhili, to give Wu Jinglian one hundred thousand silver dollars.Now, it's time to attack Li Yuanhong. This is a big problem.Such a good president, how can he just drive him away? Cao Kun couldn't think of a way, Wang Tan focused his energy on the Congress, so he had to go to the chief of staff, Xiong Bingqi. Xiong Bingqi is a wise and resourceful person. After thinking for a while, he said, "Marshal, you can go home and rest. I have a solution." "Tell me how to do it?" Xiong Bingqi whispered his opinion.When Cao Kun heard this, he beamed with joy and said, "Okay, okay. With your help, I'm relieved. The city of Beijing became uneasy again. Groups of troops and policemen arrived at the presidential palace to demand military pay from the president.Then, the police went off duty, and the order in the city was chaotic.Not long after, the crowd shouted the slogan "Li Yuanhong go to the wild soon".Li Yuanhong returned to his home in Dongchang Hutong.The water and electricity at home were all cut off.He looked again, and the guards around him dispersed automatically.Knowing that the situation was not good, he secretly fled to Tianjin. Beijing is the world of Cao Kun, how could he not know about a president.He immediately found Wang Chengbin and ordered him to drive to Tianjin in a special car.When Li Yuanhong arrived in Tianjin, it was Zhili governor Wang Chengbin who greeted him. Wang Chengbin said to Li Yuanhong with a smile: "Please wait a moment, the President, to receive Beijing's instruction, please ask the President to hand over the seal temporarily." Li Yuanhong was stunned and angry.He thought to himself: "The president is still mine, why should I hand in the seal?" However, he was only angry in his heart and did not dare to speak out.Because he had already seen clearly that inside and outside the station, they were all led by Wang Chengbin.He could only sigh and think: "At the beginning, I was going to be restored to the position of president. It was your direct lineage; today, it is your lineage that came to drive me out of office. Aren't you afraid of being scolded by the world if you are so erratic?" He had no choice but to ask his personal adjutant Tang Zhongyin to call his concubine who was hospitalized in the French Hospital in Dongjiaominxiang, Beijing, and ask her to hand over the seal. Cao Kun finally bought the presidency. Even though some congressmen refused to accept bribes and announced the bank notes in the newspapers; the procuratorate also reported that there would be a trial and so on, Cao Kun became the president.This is undoubtedly a bigger threat to the Anhui Department—— Xu Shuzheng sent Wang Zhilong away in Shanghai, determined to be quiet for a while and see the direction of the wind.He found a copy of "Classic Compilation of Ancient Essays" from the bookshelf, and wanted to do serious research.Every day when he has spare time, he punctuates and recites satires, and never leaves the book.It didn't take long for this kind of opening, and it became chaotic again-- Lu Yongxiang, the defeated general of the "Battle of Qilu" and the warlord of the Anhui Faction, Zhejiang Governor Lu Yongxiang secretly came to Xu Shuzheng's home.Xu Shuzheng was startled, "Zijia (Lu Yongxiang's account), didn't you go to Japan? When did you come back?" Lu Yongxiang sighed and said: "It's hard to say, let's just talk about the present." "Have you got in touch with Boss Duan?" "Not yet." Lu Yongxiang said: "I want to stop in Shanghai for a while, that is, go north." Xu Shuzheng arranged for Lu Yongxiang's residence, and entertained him well in the evening.Then, the two retreated into the secret room.Negotiate. One by one Lu Yongxiang is a more cautious military leader.Although he coveted Shanghai, he never thought of competing for Shanghai with the Jiangsu governor and Zhili warlord Qi Xieyuan by force.He just wanted to be equal with him.Before the war, he also sent his general Ma Baoheng to Nanjing as a lobbyist.Ma Baoheng is Qi's close friend and the younger brother of Ma Baochen, commander of the 19th Division.He originally wanted to succeed, but he knew that Qi Xieyuan was ambitious and didn't want to split it equally. As a result, a big battle broke out: It's also Lu Yongxiang's bad luck.As soon as the Qilu battle started, just in time for Sun Chuanfang to retreat from Fujian to Zhejiang.He came to take advantage of the fire, and Lu Yongxiang was defeated. Lu Yongxiang narrated the battle situation.He kept scolding Sun Chuanfang: "Sun Chuanfang is really not a thing, I didn't expect him to steal my way. One day, I have to avenge him!" Xu Shuzheng smiled and said: "Zijia, Sun Chuanfang is a person who falls with the wind, and whoever grows up will depend on him. One day when we make a comeback, he will still bow his head and bow his head. Qi Xieyuan is different from him. He is the backbone of the direct lineage. It is our deadly enemy, irreconcilable." Xu Shuzheng still holds the pulse of China, he is not willing to be controlled by the situation, he has to control the situation. --China's warlords are not isolated, they can only stand on the back of the mountain.Duan Qirui relied on the Japanese as his backer, Cao Kun relied on the British as his backer, and Zhang Zuolin relied on the Japanese as his backer.China says it is a tripartite confrontation.In fact, it is supported by two backers.Therefore, Xu Shuzheng said to Lu Yongxiang clearly: "The direct line is our deadly enemy." Lu Yongxiang understood, and kept nodding.Then he said: "Boss Duan is still in Tianjin, why didn't he look for Zhang Dashuai?" Xu Shuzheng said: "Why not? Look for it." "Is there anything to discuss?" "Yes." Xu Shuzheng said: "I have already discussed with Sun Yat-sen, and we are waiting for the opportunity to form an alliance of the three." He thought for a moment, and then said: "Zijia, don't you have a good relationship with Jiang Dengxuan? Jiang Dengxuan is Zhang Da Shuai is a very influential person, can you try to get in touch with him?" Lu Yongxiang blinked and said, "Is that Jiang Dengxuan who was Zhu Qinglan's chief of staff?" Xu Shuzheng nodded and said, "He is probably in the south now. I heard that Jiang Dengxuan has a close relationship with Tan Yanchuang of the Revolutionary Party. It is necessary to talk to him." Lu Yongxiang had nothing to say, and silently picked up the teacup. Xu Shuzheng also said: "The situation in the north is uncertain! Cao Kun became president, and he wanted to eliminate Zhang Zuolin before he could unify the world. Zhang Zuolin was not reconciled to his failure to withdraw from Shanhaiguan. He must avenge his hatred, and the war will break out soon. You can tell Jiang Dengxuan, As long as Zhifeng goes to war again, we will definitely support Grand Marshal Zhang with all our strength." "Okay, just do it." Xu Shuzheng often divides his "fate spectrum" into stages.By the time he lived in seclusion in Shanghai, he had been out of the mountain for 24 or 5 years. How many stages can he draw? It is not clear.It can roughly be said that there are two periods: the first sixteen years are a period, and the sky rises straight up, and it reaches its peak when Yuan Shikai becomes the President and Emperor Hongxian.People are alive, and living people need to move.Xu Shuzheng has already reached the peak, if he moves again, he will naturally go downhill. After "three long incidents", he began to decline.He was shipped out of Beijing in a wicker box as "one thing", even though he was still singing "Going to the Meeting Single-handedly", it was indeed his low point.Xu Shuzheng is self-confident that he has talent and learning, but he does not admit defeat.He only regards it as a temporary difficulty, but it is just that the cycle of day and night has changed to "night", and it will turn to light again. "Nightmare wake up is morning"! Only, morning came too late.He thought it was time to break dawn in the east, but he couldn't see the dawn! After Lu Yongxiang left, Xu Shuzheng felt that the dawn was about to emerge.Duan, Sun, and Zhang are united in a triangle, and the north and the south are attacking, so why is it that Cao Lao San will not fall! Unexpectedly, Xu Shuzheng's little calculation was wrong again.Lu Yongxiang walked away, and a few strange men came in behind him. "Who are you, dare to break into your private house?" Xu Shuzheng asked loudly.The visitor smiled slightly and said, "I was ordered to worship the mountain, Mr. Shuzheng Xu." "Who are you ordering?" "Concession Industry Bureau." "What's the matter?" "Mr. Xu, please go there. You will know when you get to the bureau." "The Bureau of the Ministry of Industry has no right to find me. I won't go!" "The British Consulate has the right!" The man produced the letter from the British Consulate. Xu Shuzheng raised his eyes and saw that they were a group of strong men who were doing bad things, fearing that something might happen, he obediently followed them. It turned out that the spies of the Zhili warlords kept abreast of Xu Shuzheng's activities.When they found Lu Yongxiang coming, they were afraid that the war would resume again, so they incited the British master to arrest Xu Shuzheng under the pretext of "maintaining law and order". Xu Shuzheng walked into the swamp again! The news that Xu Shuzheng was captured by the concession spread to Tianjin, and Xia Hongyun was terrified, so she hurried to Shanghai with her third favorite son.On the way, Xia Hongyun kept crying, and her son persuaded her: "Mom, don't just cry, Dad thinks nothing will happen in Shanghai. He has so many old departments, no one can save him? Besides, we have to think about it first. Look What should I do if I see Shanghai?"What should I do? What can I do?" Xia Hongyun said: "According to my method, even Li Songqing did not associate with him in the early days, or lived in Tianjin, or in his hometown, so there is no way to live! Your father doesn't listen, it seems that he doesn't Come out, the sky will fall..." "Mom, it's today, and we can only do it according to today's situation. Even if you are right, isn't it too late today!" My son is 19 years old and has studied in colleges and universities. Feet, mobility inconvenience, but thinking, brains are extremely sensitive.Just like when his father met Duan Qirui in Jinan, he is full of vigor, young and promising.He thinks that it is always risky for a man to venture into the world.Only those who dare to take risks will break out of the world.Therefore, he is very optimistic about his father's affairs. Although Xia Hongyun is not an ordinary woman, but the world is not peaceful, she feels it more than her son. The ups and downs she has experienced with Xu Shuzheng for more than 20 years have already made her disheartened.She believes that no one is working hard for the country and the people, but for power, money, and mountains.Maybe one day, he lost his life because of it.When she thinks about her own family, she feels even more sad: running around with her son, the second and fourth sons died young, and the eldest is far away in the United States, only the third son is by her side, and her leg is still disabled! Thinking of the situation when this son was born, I feel extremely sad: that was in Tokyo, Japan.She was about to give birth, but Xu Shuzheng still didn't know where she was? She was in a maternity hospital and didn't know where to go, and who was looking for a midwife? Grieving and anxious, she had to bite off the umbilical cord connecting mother and child with her mouth, and gave birth to this son with difficulty.In order for her son to be able to accomplish something in the future, she personally read "Mencius", and named her son "Dao Lin" based on the phrase "Jia Neighboring Countries Have Dao Hu".When Daolin was babbling, his mother taught him how to read and behave. What makes Hongyun most disturbed is Xu Shuzheng's strong heart, always wanting to stand out. "What do you want to win? The world is turbid, good and evil are mixed, who can tell the good from the bad? They are all desperadoes. Can you be risk-free?" She was still in pain, and she had to swallow so much bitterness into her stomach—yes, it's not unusual for a man to have three wives and five concubines.However, she and Xu Shuzheng are a loving couple! How close they were when Xu Shuzheng was not out in Liquan Village.Xu Shuzheng swore to her, "No more love for others!" However, what happened in the past few years: one Shen Dinglan is not enough.Married another prostitute Ping Fangchun - this is the most intolerable for Xia Hongyun. "Normally people still look down on prostitutes. Could it be that you Xu Shuzheng can't find an innocent woman?" Later, Wang Huili was recruited, saying that he was a member of the theater troupe.It also made Xia Hongyun feel a stone in his heart. "What has become of this family?" When Dinglan was seriously ill, he discussed with her to remarry his younger sister Shen Shupei.Although Hongyun has a good impression of Shupei, she still can't bear to come here as a concubine...and so on.As Xu Shuzheng's first wife, she could only sigh secretly and cry secretly.She has to force a smile, to be magnanimous, and to mediate all "family scandals" among them! Now.Her husband is out, and she has to show her face. Forty-five or six-year-olds, although pay attention to grooming.After all, Pianhua was about to pass away, not to mention having endured so much unbearable pressure! Her sideburns were already showing obvious wrinkles, and her eyes were sunken.The cheeks have lost their plumpness, and their temperament is not as chic.During the long drive, she already had backaches.She wanted to close her eyes and rest for a moment, but it was impossible.As soon as I closed my eyes, a lot of miscellaneous things rushed to my face.As a last resort, she had no choice but to chat with her son. "Dao neighbor." Hongyun said to his son: "I heard that there is a British barrister in the concession, who is very capable. Can't we invite him?" "Yes." Dao Neighbor said, "That lawyer's name is Anderson. He is actually a Chinese, but he has become a British citizen." "Good Chinese, how did you become a British citizen?" Even though Hongyun said that, she still trusted him. "Maybe it's fairer to have a foreign nationality? Give him more silver dollars. If you can move around in other places, go for a walk. There is still some money in Shanghai, so don't be afraid to spend it." "Mom, I think of an important person, he can definitely help." The son was excited. "Who?" Mother asked in surprise. "Sun Yat-sen!" "Sun Yat-sen?!" "Yes, Mom." Dao Neighbor said, "Papa went to Guilin to see him not long ago. Sun Yat-sen had a good impression of Papa! He wrote to Chiang Kai-shek, telling Chiang that Mr. Xu came to comfort me for several years. Now that something happened to my father, Sun Yat-sen will never ignore it." When the son said this, the worry on his face seemed to be swept away, and he smiled happily. Fu Hongyun knew Sun Yat-sen.She knew Xu Shuzheng from his words.She had admired Sun Yat-sen's idea, and she felt that Sun Yat-sen's idea of ​​overthrowing the imperial system stood higher and farther than all warlords.The dawn of China is about to emerge from here! However, the dynasty that Sun Yat-sen wants to overthrow.Among the officials to be overthrown was her husband Xu Shuzheng.She was not at peace anymore... Later, when Xu Shuzheng went to Guangdong, she was sweating; she was relieved when she learned of Sun Yat-sen's hospitality to Xu Shuzheng.Now, although she thought it was a good idea to ask Sun Yat-sen to save Xu Shuzheng, she was afraid that Sun Yat-sen would not do his best! She hesitated and said, "What if Sun Yat-sen doesn't help?" "No, Mom." The son said: "Sun Yat-sen is planning to go north again, and he wants to win the support of the Anhui Department. How could he not save Dad!" Xia Hongyun was silent.After a long time, he said, "I hope Mr. Sun is so magnanimous!" Shanghai's rescue of Xu Shuzheng went smoothly: British barrister Andrew Anderson filed a complaint against the Ministry of Industry and Commerce on behalf of Xu Shuzheng. The words were extremely severe and the reasons were very sufficient.Sun Yat-sen also protested to the local consular corps in Guangzhou in the name of the provisional government.When the British saw that Xu Shuzheng's incident was getting serious, they wanted to get away.At this time, they should have immediately announced the lifting of Xu Shuzheng's confinement, but they did not do so. They considered Cao Kun under their own umbrella.Afraid that after Xu Shuzheng came out, he would step up his efforts even more, so he put forward a condition: Xu Shuzheng should go abroad. After all, Xu Shuzheng was in the hands of the British, and the domestic situation was unstable for a while, so he agreed to go abroad. On November 24, 1924, Xu Shuzheng bid farewell to his family in Shanghai and took the steps to travel around the world.
