On the other hand, it also further stimulated Japan's ambition to dominate East Asia.
After the Japanese army occupied Qingdao, they ignored the opposition of the Beiyang government and openly and forcibly announced that they would replace all of Germany's interests in Qingdao and put Qingdao under Japanese jurisdiction.
In January 1915 (the 4th year of the Republic of China), the Beiyang government submitted a note demanding that Japan return Qingdao to Beiyang.
Japan rejected this arrogantly and even went a step further by proposing the "Twenty-One Demands" to force Yuan Shikai to accept them.
The national outrage also brought about an ideological awakening, prompting countless people of noble character and lofty ideals to open their eyes to the world.
They increasingly felt that Yuan Datou was not good enough and too cowardly.
Of course, Yuan Shikai also wanted to recapture Qingdao, but unfortunately he did not have enough strength. Once he sent his elite troops to fight Japan, his hometown in Beijing would probably be taken away.
He didn't dare to gamble.
At the same time, Zhang Xiaoliu found Shen Hao with a secret letter from his father Zhang Zuolin.
"Brother-in-law, this is what my father gave you."
Shen Hao took the letter and started reading it.
Shen Hao smiled.
Zhang Zuolin's meaning was very simple. He was planning to drive his godfather, General Zhang Xiulan, out of Fengtian.
His purpose was nothing more than that he wanted to plan for the position of General Fengtian (Governor).
Once he is promoted to the position of General Fengtian, he will be granted the title of General Zhen'an and will be in charge of the three northeastern provinces. Only then can he have the right to speak in the Northeast.
It is feasible to ask Shen Hao about this matter.
This is actually feasible.
Zhang Zuolin's godfather, Zhang Xiulan, was the Fengtian General, but he had no army at all and could only be bullied by Zhang Zuolin.
Now, Zhang Zuolin has the final say on the appointment of officials in the entire Fengtian.
When his godfather Zhang Xiulan dared to disagree, he sent soldiers to shoot at Zhang Xiulan's house at night.
In short, filial piety leads to strength.
Zhang Zuolin was a generous man and a very good person. Although he appeared to be rude in appearance and behavior, he was actually very thoughtful.
Zhang Xiluan was once the chief of the Fengtian Patrol Office and was one of the powerful figures in Northeast China. Zhang Zuolin tried his best to curry favor with Zhang Xiluan.
Zhang Xiulan, nicknamed "Fast Horse Zhang", likes horses and enjoys riding.
Zhang Zuolin, in accordance with his preference, collected good horses from everywhere and gave them to Zhang Xiluan. Zhang Xiluan looked up to this junior. Other subordinates were straightforward and had a strong sense of gangsterism, but only Zhang Zuolin was so "sensible".
Zhang Xiulan was highly valued by Yuan Shikai and was his most trusted confidant.
This also means that Zhang Zuolin has someone protecting him from the top.
When Yuan Shikai restored the monarchy and proclaimed himself emperor, Zhang Xiulan was granted the title of first-class earl and Zhang Zuolin was granted the title of second-class viscount.
But now that my godson has become powerful, you, godfather, have to move over and give him your support.
After reading the telegram, Shen Hao said to Zhang Xiaoliu: "Tell your father that this can be done."
Zhang Xiaoliu nodded, and suddenly said to Shen Hao mysteriously: "Brother-in-law, do you like women?"
Shen Hao tapped his forehead and said, "Nonsense, I don't like women, so how can I like men?"
Zhang Xiaoliu screamed in pain, and hurriedly explained: "It's like this, I have a fiancée, but she is a few years older than me, I don't like her, and she doesn't like me either.
I was thinking, since you like women, why not let you marry her."
373. Brother-in-law, Yu Fengzhi is none other than you
I heard Xiao Liuzi talking about his fiancée.
Shen Hao instantly understood who it was.
That should be Yu Fengzhi, who was three or eleven years older than him.
Yu Fengzhi is beautiful and brings good fortune to her husband, but this boy doesn't want her?
This Yu Fengzhi is an indispensable figure in The Young Marshal. She should also be considered as the heroine's destiny. She has a critical hit of luck and can be pursued.
However, thinking this in his heart, Shen Hao still had to save some face. He couldn't just snatch his brother-in-law's woman away. It would be a bit cheap to agree as soon as someone asked him to.
Be dignified and reserved.
Thinking of this, Shen Hao said seriously: "You don't like that fiancée. Does your father know about this?"
Zhang Xiaoliu nodded and said, "Of course my father knows. I have quarreled with him so many times over this matter, and my buttocks have been beaten to pieces several times. How could he not know?"
When Shen Hao thought of Zhang Zuolin pulling out the Seven Wolves, he inexplicably wanted to laugh, so he asked, "What does your father think?"
"I don't care what he thinks. Anyway, I don't like that woman and I definitely don't want her," Zhang Xiaoliu said stubbornly.
"Have you ever met your fiancée?" Shen Hao asked doubtfully;
Zhang Xiaoliu shook his head and said, "What era is this? People still arrange marriages when they are born. Nowadays, people prefer free love. My father is stubborn and rigid in his thinking."
"I won't listen to him, I want to find my own love.
"I will not marry a woman older than me."
"Besides, marrying a wife is not marrying a mother."
"Brother-in-law, look at that woman named Yu Fengzhi. Her age is just right for you. Since you already have so many women, you wouldn't mind having one more, right?"
"Besides, brother-in-law, after you marry this woman, my father won't dare to say anything. He probably won't dare to say a word."
Speaking of this, Zhang Xiaoliu became excited.
It seems that he is happy to see his father suffer a setback.
Hearing this, Shen Hao glanced at Zhang Xiaoliu and said, "Boy, aren't you afraid that your father will break your legs?"
Zhang Xiaoliu said proudly: "Brother-in-law, don't worry about this. Although he always dislikes me in this and that, I am his eldest son. How could he bear to break my legs?
I know he loves me.”
“Besides, Yu Fengzhi is just a merchant family.
My father used to rely on the Yu family for financial support, but now he doesn’t need it at all.
Losing the Yu family is nothing to my father, and they are of no use to him."
"Besides, if the Yu family knew that their daughter was marrying you, my brother-in-law, they would be eager for an alliance."
Shen Hao couldn't help laughing. He never expected that this kid was so good at calculating and had weighed the pros and cons and thought of all the possible outcomes.
Seeing Shen Hao didn't say anything, Zhang Xiaoliu hurriedly said: "Brother-in-law, you have to save me this time.
If you don't marry Yu Fengzhi, my father will force me to get married.
If you help me, I will bring my cousin's wife to you."
Hearing this, the ecstasy of that night emerged in Shen Hao's mind.
My cousin’s wife looks very much like Liu Yan, with big watery eyes, charming face, and especially her explosive figure when she wears a cheongsam.
Shen Hao was sure that his cousin Lin Miaomiao would definitely not be able to see her own toes if she lowered her head.
It’s no wonder that Shen Hao was so moved by the charming cousin-in-law that night.
I was originally thinking of going to a prostitute once, but I still miss it sometimes.
But how did this guy know?
Shen Hao frowned and said with a stern face: "What do you mean by this? I don't understand."
Zhang Xiaoliu's eyes flashed with cunning, and he smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, stop pretending.
That night, your cousin's wife sneaked into your room and several maids saw it.
And the sound of the beheading was like that of a pig being slaughtered, and many people heard it.”
"I saw with my own eyes several of my aunts stealing the girl's room."
“Not only do I know this, my father knows this, and my sister knows this too.
My cousin knows it too.
Now, my cousin's wife has divorced my cousin."
"My father kept me in a yard, waiting for you to favor me someday."
Shen Hao was silent for a long time. He didn't expect that there were so many people eavesdropping. There was nothing he could do. His cousin's wife's high-pitched voice that night was indeed a bit passionate, and the decibel seemed a bit high and a bit disturbing.
These days, the sound insulation is a bit poor.
I didn't expect that I would be caught red-handed when I casually prostituted myself. I felt a little socially embarrassed and coughed lightly in embarrassment.
After all, it is a bit weird for a son-in-law to have an affair in his father-in-law's house.
If Shen Hao wasn’t so powerful, Zhang Zuolin would probably have gone crazy.
Seeing Shen Hao didn't say anything, Zhang Xiaoliu laughed again and said, "My cousin's wife is obsessed with her brother-in-law now."
Shen Hao coughed and didn't want to discuss this topic any further, so he changed the subject and said, "If I marry your fiancée and it gets out, will I still be considered a human being?
I'm fighting with my brother-in-law for my wife. If I tell others about it, how will they look at me?
Zhang Xiaoliu felt contemptuous. Your image as a sex-hungry ghost has spread all over the country. How can he look at you?
Although he was contemptuous in his heart, Zhang Xiaoliu still said in a flattering manner, "Don't worry, brother-in-law, no one dares to gossip about you marrying Yu Fengzhi.
With his brother-in-law's power, who would dare to do that?
Besides, this is a matter of mutual consent.
It was the greatest luck in Yu Fengzhi's life for her to marry her brother-in-law.
Not only do I support it, my father will also support it, and my sister will have no objection either.
The Yu family dares not say a word, so they are definitely willing to let go. If you say everyone is willing, then what is the problem?"
Hearing this, Shen Hao was stunned for a moment. This kid is really good at fooling people.
"I didn't expect you, Xiao Liu, to be so good at talking. This is the first time I've seen someone push his fiancée to someone else."
Seeing that Shen Hao was somewhat moved, Zhang Xiaoliu hurriedly said again:
"Brother-in-law, I heard that Yu Fengzhi is a beautiful lady with fair skin, natural beauty, knowledgeable, gentle, beautiful and intelligent, and a beauty that is one in a million.
Not only that, she is also a true lady from a noble family.
He is not only good at managing the household, but also good at doing business.
If you miss such a great beauty, it will be your biggest loss."
Zhang Xiaoliu used all the beautiful words accumulated in his mind to praise Yu Fengzhi.
I prayed silently in my heart, brother-in-law, please agree to it soon, I am at a loss for words.
His woman Yu Fengzhi was praised to the skies by her future husband Zhang Xiaoliu, just to be given to him, which made Shen Hao laugh and said, "Since she is so outstanding, so beautiful, and so gentle, why don't you marry her yourself?"
Zhang Xiaoliu stood straight and said seriously, "Brother-in-law, I am a very chauvinistic person. I absolutely don't like women who are older than me, even if they are one day older, let alone so much older than me.
I feel uncomfortable being with her."
This reason is unexplainable and cannot be refuted.
Although he already felt that he had won, Shen Hao still pretended to be reluctant and said, "In that case, then fine, I'll discuss it with your sister. If your sister has no objection, then I'll agree."
Zhang Xiaoliu jumped up excitedly and laughed: "Brother-in-law, you are awesome. You are the one I admire most in my life. I must learn from you."
Shen Hao said: "Okay, stop flattering me. Go call your sister over and I'll have a word with her."
·· ······Request flowers· ··
Zhang Xiaoliu looked at Shen Hao expectantly and said, "Brother-in-law, since I gave you such a perfect woman, shouldn't you give me something as a reward?"
Shen Hao was stunned. He didn't expect that this guy would be interested in what he had.
So he asked in confusion: "What do you want, tell me first?"
Zhang Xiaoliu was a little embarrassed and said shyly, "I saw a very beautiful silver pistol in my father's drawer.
My dad told me that it was given to him by his brother-in-law. It’s called Desert Eagle, which is really cool.
If I could have a pistol like this, I would have no regrets in my life."
Shen Hao thought it was nothing, just for a broken gun, and said speechlessly: "You are just this much of a talent."
