Years of the Republic of China 1913

China's declaration of war is relatively sudden to the world, but a series of preparations have been made at the top of the country. Soon after the official declaration of war, in addition to expulsion of diplomatic personnel of the Allied countries in China in the name of members of the Allied countries, the Chinese government Fu is not in trouble. Not only is it not hard to expel and confiscate property as imagined by the outside world, but on the contrary, it protects personal property and legal investment, and at the same time opens the door to expatriates from allied countries who are willing to become Chinese. Diplomats from various countries were surprised. Although Britain and France were somewhat critical of China’s handling, they secretly praised China’s approach as a “gentleman”. "understanding".And the diplomats of those allied countries, after experiencing the anger of "betrayal", were also relieved by the "magnanimity" of the Chinese government, and they were "expelled" back home with great cooperation.

Of course, after the declaration of war, the Chinese government stopped all commercial cooperation with the allies, and from this point of view, the loss is not small.However, due to the promise of the two big brothers of the Allies, Britain and France, all the goods that had been sent to the European Allies on the way were resold to Britain and France, and all the subsequent commercial agreements of the Allies were received by the European members of the Allies. It has been reduced to a minimum and has not affected the development of domestic industry and commerce.As for the materials that have been delivered but not yet settled, the Chinese government directly used the debts of the allies in China to offset. Except for the payment of materials, overall, it made a lot of money.

In the ten days after the declaration of war, almost all the diplomats of the Allied countries in China were "expelled".The resettlement of ordinary nationals from the Allied countries is also proceeding in an orderly manner.Due to Marcos’ explanation for Fang Zida’s business circles in Germany and other allied countries, some expatriates from the allied countries followed their diplomats on the road back home, while some other expatriates submitted applications for naturalization to the United States like Marcos, and some claimed Xing was naturalized in China and became a theoretical "Chinese".Allied businessmen who invested in Beijing, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places were not affected at all after undergoing identity changes. Those who should do business should do business, and those who should negotiate business continue to negotiate business.It seems that China's declaration of war is very far away from them.

Compared with ordinary expatriates, the Zhongyang Military Academy has been more affected.The German military officers who were employed agreed to become Chinese except for a few people, and most of the German military officers followed the diplomats on board the ship returning home.In this case.Fang Zida could only secretly sigh that soldiers are different from profit-seeking businessmen after all, let alone proud German officers.In this case, being able to barely keep a few is pretty good.

Now that war has been officially declared, the Chinese government no longer hides its secrets, and the General Staff began to implement the armament plan with great fanfare based on Wu Peifu's suggestion.Expansion of the military, construction of military defense facilities in important cities and regions, successive mobilization of troops from the southwest and northwest to the east, etc. These actions are normal in the eyes of most countries, but in the eyes of Japan itself they are absolute provocations .

Leaving aside Ri himself's reaction after being stunned, the General Staff finally did not agree to Wu Peifu's proposal to replace Zhang Zuolin in the Northeast.This is mainly due to the special nature of the Northeast region. Zhang Zuolin is deeply rooted in Fengtian. The 27th Division, also known as the New 27th Group Army, is Zhang Zuolin's direct line after all.Mobilizing Zhang Zuolin will inevitably cause unnecessary troubles and complicate Fengtian's situation.What's more, although Zhang Zuolin is not as good as Wu Peifu in leading troops, he is far better than others in dealing with Japan himself, and Xu Shichang is also the strongest Zhang Zuolin.Under such circumstances, the risk of replacing Zhang Zuolin with Wu Peifu was too great, and the General Staff decided to proceed with the original plan after much deliberation.

Of course, the General Staff did not fail to consider what Wu Peifu said. After discussion, it was decided that Wu Peifu would lead troops to station in Shandong and Shanhaiguan as a response.Once Fengtian's Zhang Zuolin is really a silver-like wax gun head, he can't hold back the words of Ri himself.Wu Peifu's army had better invest in the first time to avoid the deterioration of the war situation.

The Chinese government is preparing nervously and orderly. At the same time, Naniwa Kawashima and his group of sectarians in the capital are also very busy.Knowing the consequences of China's sudden declaration of war, Naniwa Kawashima couldn't wait to get confidential information and report it to Tokyo. At this moment, this information was extremely longing for Ri himself. In order to achieve his goal, Naniwa Kawashima spent a lot Xueben finally got something from Jin Jiu. Although the information Jin Jiu gave him was incomplete and had many flaws, after getting the information, Naniwa Kawashima quickly analyzed the information. And found something of value from it.At this moment, Naniwa Kawashima was overjoyed, and quickly sent the information back to Tokyo through a special channel, and continued to contact Jin Jiu, hoping to get more important and valuable information.

Half a month later, Fengtian in the northeast.

A time-honored porcelain shop has just opened. Two clerks are lowering the door panel. One clerk is wiping the counters and vases on display in the store with a rag. , but the spirit is still as good as that of a young man. Every day at this time, he will arrive at the store on time and direct the busy guys to get ready to welcome customers.

"Shopkeeper, Marshal Zhang is so prestige these days. I heard that he has become a general? Marshal Zhang's army has also changed its name. What is it called Tuantuanjun?" Qian San, the clerk, was talking while packing up his things. It has been a long time since the army expanded, and Zhang Zuolin was promoted from Lieutenant General to Commander of the General Army Group. Many people in Fengtian City are talking about this these days.

"What kind of regiment army? It's a group army! You don't need to ask the shopkeeper about it, I know it." Liu Xiaoshan, another guy who just put a door panel in, rushed to say: "My brother is a soldier in the 27th Division, no, now he is called The 27th Army is here. The commander in chief was arranged by Beijing, and the general was also promoted by the President. This army is different from a brigade with mixed divisions. How should I put it, does the Yulin Army in the story know? This army is equivalent to the previous one. The Royal Forest Army, tsk tsk, it's amazing."

"What's so great? You just brag, and return the Imperial Forest Army. Our Fengtian City is so-so in the past. But now it is no longer the Qing Dynasty. Fengtian has no emperor and no president. Let the Imperial Forest Army do it. Well? Show it to you kid?" Qian San pouted and said, full of disbelief, we have been together for several years, and he still doesn't know the situation of Liu Xiaoshan's family?His brother Liu Dashan is a soldier who carries a gun and eats food. In the army, he is the only one who takes care of him.It's not his business.

"Hehe, I said Qian San, you said that wrongly. Xiao Shan is actually right. This army is not ordinary. Although it is not as good as the Royal Forest Army in the book, it is not far behind. It is said that this time the President can I value Marshal Zhang, and the whole army has been replaced with new equipment, such a lot of cannons and foreign guns! I also named Marshal Zhang as the commander, amazing, amazing!" The one who came in carrying the last door panel was The last of the three guys is named Zhao Mutian. At the beginning, Zhao Mutian's father asked his husband to give him this name in order to make his son prosperous and become an official in the future.as a child.His father still squeezed his teeth and sent Zhao Mutian to school for a few days, but who would have thought that the Qing Dynasty would be gone after a short period of time, and the Qing Dynasty would be extinct without this scholar, Juren, and champion, so he sent Zhao Mutian here in desperation This became an apprentice and worked for several years.

Zhao Mutian, Qian San, and Liu Xiaoshan are all buddies.But among the three, he is the only one who has studied for several years, and he is usually the head of the three.When he interjected, Qian San hesitated, but he still looked at the shopkeeper Han Deshan with some disbelief: "Shopkeeper, tell me?"

"Me?" Han Deshan is good at business, but his eyes are dark when discussing politics and military affairs.Just now he was smiling and listening to the three guys talking, but he didn't expect Qian San to bring the topic to him again in a blink of an eye.Han Deshan opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything at once. He stared and cursed: "What are you guys doing so early in the morning? Did you see that the door panels are all down? Hurry up and clean it up today. If you can't open it in the morning, I will beat you to death!"

Shrinking his head in fright, Qian San didn't dare to mention what happened just now, and quickly cleaned it up. The other two also restrained their laughter, and hurriedly carried the door panel to the backyard.

In the past few years, the weather has been good, the life of the common people has been much better, and the state has vigorously supported industry and commerce. Although Han Deshan's porcelain shop is not big, the business is much better than in previous years.Not long after the door opened, the business came. In just one hour, five or six customers were received. He greeted Qian San to help the customers deliver the goods. Han Deshan returned to the counter with a smile on his face, thinking in his heart that today's business is really good. good.

"Hello, guest, what do you need?" Just as he put the money collected earlier into the money box under the counter, Han Deshan greeted him and raised his head with a smile. I walked in.

"Here, the porcelain for sale?" The visitor stood in the shop and looked around, asking in blunt Chinese.

There are quite a few Japanese people in Fengtian City. Of course, Han Deshan's store has also received Japanese people. He hurried up to answer the conversation: "Yes, this is a porcelain shop. What kind of porcelain do you want to buy?"

"Do you have a bowl? It's good, it's beautiful." Ri Ri himself asked with gestures.

"Yes, please come this way." Han Deshan nodded repeatedly, beckoning him to go in, and shouted: "Xiaoshan, bring some bowls, it's better."

"Hey!"

After a while, Liu Xiaoshan brought some bowls over, and Han Deshan laid out the bowls one by one, and introduced them to the customer one by one.

Now I picked up this one for a while, and picked up another one for a while, asked the price, fiddled with it and looked at it for a long time, then shook my head and said: "These big ones are not good, no matter how good they are."

"Excuse me!" Han Deshan said with a smile, and asked Liu Xiaoshan to pick up a few Jingdezhen fine bowls. These bowls are quite different from the ones just now, and of course the price is much more expensive.

"Yaoxi, this one is good!" Ri himself smiled and gave a thumbs up when he saw it.

"Of course, this is the best bowl in Fengtian City. No one can afford this style except the Marshal's Mansion." Liu Xiaoshan boasted from the side.

Ri himself seemed very satisfied at this time, and said that he would buy a whole set.Han Deshan was overjoyed when he heard that, he quickly asked Liu Xiaoshan to take out a set, and helped Jing carefully bandage it and put it on the table.

"Here, here's the money." Ri himself picked up the bowl with one hand, took out a silver dollar with the other and threw it on the counter, turned around and left.

"Hey! Wait, the amount of money is wrong!" Han Deshan was stunned and quickly grabbed Ri himself.

"The mud?" Ri himself said strangely: "Didn't the money be given to you? What's the matter?"

"This... This set of bowls cost ten silver dollars, and you only gave one." Han Deshan explained hastily.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ri himself stared and scolded: "Baga! Just now you told me it was one silver dollar, how did it become ten dollars? Is this how you Chinese do business?"

"Here, these are one piece. The one you took is ten yuan. The bowl I said just now is different from the one you are holding!" Han Deshan explained pointing to the previous samples.

"Baga! You Chinese are all liars, and you cheat people in business!" Ri himself was furious, and he raised his hand and slapped him. Han Deshan, who was defenseless, saw stars in his eyes for an instant, and fell to the ground all at once. (To be continued..)
