Republic of China: I am a great warlord, many children, many blessings

They are good at quarreling with each other but not good at defending their rights externally. They have been kneeling for too long and can no longer stand up.

Angry Shen Hao didn't bother to care and went to Jin Quan's birthday party.

When we arrived at the Jin's house, the whole place was deserted and no one came to congratulate us.

Ever since Jin Quan lost his position as the head of the family, the Jin family has been on the decline.

Seeing Shen Hao coming, Jin Quan felt relieved and said hurriedly: "Ahao, you are here"

Shen Hao presented his gift and said with a smile: "Today is your birthday. Here, I wish you good fortune and longevity."

Jin Quan forced a smile and said, "Haha, thanks for your good words. Come in and sit down quickly."

Shen Hao nodded, presented his gift and walked into the hall.

Jin Ruizhi smiled and took Shen Hao's arm and said, "How are you?"

Shen Hao said: "I'm definitely not tired, I'm just upset."

"what happened?"

"It's nothing, just some diplomatic matters," Shen Hao said;

Upon hearing this, the sisters of the Jin family instantly became interested.

Jin Daozhi, the fifth son of the Jin family, Jin Minzhi, and the youngest concubine, Jin Meili, all sat next to Shen Hao, full of curiosity.

There has been a lot of talk about the war recently, and the newspapers are reporting this news every day.

"Brother-in-law, just tell us, we want to hear it," Jin Meili said, looking at Shen Hao expectantly;

Looking at Jin Meili's face that looked exactly like that of actress Shu Chang, Shen Hao smiled and said, "If you want to hear it, I'll tell you."

332: Still Need a Dozen Concubines

Shen Hao had not expected that the daughters of the Jin family would be so concerned about politics.

Shen Hao didn't hesitate and said directly: "Since you want to know, I will just tell you casually."

Jin Quan, who was standing aside in a depressed mood, also sat down and listened carefully after hearing what was said.

After so many years in politics, he suddenly retired from his position as chief minister, which made him very disappointed and empty.

Today, hearing about national affairs again, he is still very excited.

Shen Hao recounted what happened today: "German Emperor Wilhelm II authorized Minister Martin to express his willingness to return Qingdao unconditionally."

When the girls heard this, they excitedly applauded.

"This is a good thing, we can finally take back our land," Jin Mei said happily;

"That's right, the Germans are smart enough to know that it's not easy to make enemies at this time," Jin Minzhi said;

Shen Hao shook his head and said, "The problem is that we are happy and the Germans have no objection, but the Japanese are not happy and they directly and firmly rejected it."

Hearing this, the women's faces immediately turned unhappy.

Jin Meili was even more unconvinced and said: "Qingdao is a matter between us and Germany. What does it have to do with the Japanese? Why do they disagree?"

"That's right, why do they disagree? What does it have to do with them?"

Shen Hao also understood the anger of the women and said again: "Because the Japanese have been coveting Qingdao for a long time.

This time Germany suddenly joined the war, and the Japanese finally found an opportunity, and they will definitely not let it go.

Japan also knows that it does not have the strength to invade us completely at present, so it is nibbling away at us step by step. It must be said that the Japanese have a wolfish ambition that is obvious."

"Humph, how can we let them do whatever they want?

What is the government's attitude? "

Shen Hao said: "The government's current attitude is to give in and accept Japan's protests."

"Why? Why should we give our land to them? The Japanese are too overbearing."

"The Japanese are bullying us too much. We cannot retreat. We must fight them."

Jin Quan, who was standing by, listened to his daughters' nonsense and couldn't help but coughed and said, "Little girls, what do you know?

Now though the fighting in Europe had begun, with Austria-Hungary declaring war on Serbia.

But they are all small countries and do not affect the overall situation at all.

Germany, Tsarist Russia, Britain and France behind them had not yet joined the war.

Therefore, the situation is not clear at all, and it is uncertain when this battle will end.

How dare the president and his men express their views?

What should we do if these people unite and attack us again?

Those who are not of our race must have different hearts. The wolfish ambitions of foreigners have never stopped.

For us, there is no difference between Qingdao being in the hands of the Germans and being in the hands of the Japanese, so why rush it?"

These words made all the girls dissatisfied, but today was Jin Quan's birthday, so they couldn't refute it.

Jin Quan and his men had experienced the Eight-Nation Alliance and were still very afraid of foreigners.

Shen Hao did not refute, nor did he want to refute.

Because after all, he knew the outcome.

They also knew that this war would drag the whole of Europe into the quagmire, with Britain and France surpassed by the United States, Germany half destroyed, and Tsarist Russia having its crystal stolen by communism.

But the Beiyang warlords did not know this result.

Naturally, the Beiyang warlords and Yuan Shikai did not have as clear a view of the world situation as Shen Hao.

So everyone has different perceptions and different positions.

Standing at different heights in the world, you look at things from different angles.

If we say that we may not be able to defeat Japan in a naval battle.

But the land war will definitely drag Japan to death.

Japan and Tsarist Russia both lost half their lives in a fight in Northeast China, let alone fighting with the Beiyang government.

During World War I, Britain, France, Germany and the United States were all stuck in the quagmire of World War I and could not get out.

We can take this opportunity to regain all the lost territory.

But how can I put it? If we are not united in mind, we cannot achieve unified thinking.

Shen Hao himself wanted to go, but Yuan Datou did not support him.

Of course, Shen Hao also understood that although Yuan Datou was currently the president, his power was not ironclad and the national treasury was insufficient. Once a war broke out, it would probably affect Yuan Datou's own position.

The government cannot centralize power, and there is no other way.

Fortunately, Yuan Datou died within a few years. After Yuan Datou's death, Shen Hao believed that he could defeat Japan with his own strength.

They would beat Shen Hao even if they didn't beat him.

Just when Yuan Shikai died, the First World War was in full swing.

Politics is always a man's favorite topic.

Jin Quan, who was originally listless, was now particularly energetic when he talked about politics and world situation.

·· ······Request flowers· ··

Discussing endlessly with Shen Hao.

Shen Hao's understanding of the world situation is clearer than Jin Quan's, and often just one sentence can benefit Jin Quan a lot.

"Like the extremely low diplomatic power of the Beiyang government and other weak countries, the Beiyang government was ultimately just a "relatively free chess piece" of European and American countries.

It becomes difficult to stand up after kneeling for a long time.

In addition to the Beiyang government's cowardice in the face of Western powers, the government's serious deficiencies in domestic sovereignty and diplomatic capabilities were also fully exposed.

Not only was it at the mercy of Japan and the West, but it also effectively lost the "right to declare war."

A weak country has no diplomacy

"A weak country has no diplomacy, Shen Hao, you said it very well.

These high-ranking officials in China all came from the Qing Dynasty, and their understanding of national sovereignty is really insufficient. Since Empress Dowager Cixi, diplomacy has always been an empty shell and has done nothing."

0 .... ...

Looking at Shen Hao talking with his father, Jin Ruizhi had a look of obsession. My husband is still the most handsome.

Jin Ruizhi and her other sisters also thought that Shen Hao was really handsome at this moment.

By seven or eight o'clock in the evening, there were still few guests.

Jin Quan felt very disappointed.

Today is the birthday, but none of the three sons of the Jin family are here. They are all having fun outside.

Shen Hao couldn't help but sigh that the defeat of the Jin family was inevitable.

So Jin Quan gave up his seat directly.

The atmosphere at the banquet was somewhat silent. His wives, concubines and daughters knew that Jin Quan was in a bad mood, so they all ate in silence with their heads down.

Although Jin Quan kept smiling throughout, he was still in a very depressed mood.

He raised his glass and said to Shen Hao: "Ahao, the future depends on you. If you have the opportunity to help the Jin family, I will be very grateful."

Shen Hao raised his glass, lowered it over Jin Quan's glass and said, "As long as I am alive, I will definitely take care of the Jin family."

Having said that, Shen Hao looked at the sisters of the Jin family.

Shen Hao came here with a purpose this time.

Before Shen Hao completed his mission as inspector general, he received a mission from the Chief of the Navy.

The task of the Chief of the Navy is to take ten concubines.

This time, the reward included not only a treasure chest, but also a large shipyard, which made Shen Hao very excited.

There were still more than a dozen concubines to complete the two tasks, which made Shen Hao feel a sense of urgency.

334. Jin Quan died suddenly

At the table, Jin Quan drank one glass after another, as if trying to numb himself with wine.

It was such a nice birthday party, but it turned out to be so deserted, which made me feel very disappointed.

When you drink too much, you talk too much.

Looking at his concubine, daughter-in-law and daughter on the table, and seeing that none of his three unfilial sons were there, he felt increasingly angry and upset.

Jin Quan sighed and said, "In this life, I have only given birth to a few good daughters, but these sons are more useless than the last.

Ah Hao, if they had even one tenth of you, I would be able to die with a smile on my face."

"What nonsense are you talking about on the master's birthday?" the first wife said dissatisfiedly.

Jin Quan said: "Don't be superstitious"

“My sons, except for the seventh son Yanxi, all work in prestigious departments.

I relied on my reputation and tried my best to let them in, but what about these unfilial sons?

They are all playboys who live a life of debauchery."

"My four sons are all ignorant of serious matters. They are trying their best to be naughty with women and all their hobbies. I hate them so much."

“In addition to his position at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Boss Feng Ju also holds several sinecure posts elsewhere.

He doesn't support his parents or his wife, but not only does he spend all his salary, he also often uses money from the family's public account to make up for the deficit. "

Hearing this, Shen Hao did not answer. He said, "You have many wives and concubines, and even more lovers outside. If the upper beam is not straight, the lower beams will be crooked too. Of course, your son will follow you."

After three rounds of drinks, around ten o'clock, Shen Hao took Jin Ruizhi back home.

You can still read this about tomorrow's events.

As soon as Shen Hao left, Jin Quan started drinking again alone.

The first wife snatched Jin Quan's wine glass and said, "Okay, stop drinking."

Jin Quan nodded. Just as he stood up to go upstairs to rest, his body swayed twice, and he felt a black screen in front of his eyes, and fell to the ground with a bang.
