The husband's appetite is undoubtedly due to his improvement in mood. This time, when he went to Beijing and Tianjin, he looked smooth sailing on the surface and had a bright future, but in fact, undercurrents are surging and complicated. Duan Qirui, Feng Yuxiang and Zhang Zuolin have their own thoughts and want to straighten out the relationship and reconcile between the north and the south. There is a long way to go.

Chen Zikun is a Zhili warlord, holding heavy troops and entrenching in East China, which is one of the obstacles to unification. If he can win his support, Sun Yat-sen will have one more card in his hand and the hope for unification will be more. It would be strange if he is in a bad mood.

Sun Wen's telegram was sent in the form of a telegram, and soon the content of the telegram came to Feng Yuxiang, who was "retreating in seclusion" in the West Mountain. He didn't really believe that Chen Zikun was a member of the Kuomintang. When he saw this telegram, he immediately sighed: "Brother Kunwu, I'm really not to deceive me."

He also sent a telegram, which was consistent with Sun Wen's content and invited Chen Zikun to go north to discuss the country's status.

The news soon reached the ears of the temporary ruling Duan Qirui. These two telegrams made him extremely passive. Jiangdong Province was originally an Anhui territory, but was stolen by Chen Zikun. Now Lu Yongxiang and Sun Kaiqin have come to Beijing, waiting for the government to order Qi Xieyuan and Chen Zikun to be revoked and take the territory back.

Duan Qirui has issued two orders to revoke Qi Xieyuan's main positions and appoint Lu Yongxiang as the Jiangsu-Anhui Propaganda and Pacification Envoy. The third order is also being drafted. The content is to revoke Chen Zikun's position as the military supervisor of Jiangdong Province. Naturally, Sun Kaiqin took over. However, when Sun Wen and Feng Yuxiang sent two telegrams, it seemed a bit inappropriate to send his order again.

Jiang is old, and Duan Qirui quickly found a solution. He still issued an order to revoke Chen Zikun's position as military supervisor of Jiangdong Province, but immediately appointed him as the deputy commander of the army, promoted him to the title of general of the army, awarded the title of general of the army, and awarded the title of general of the war, and promoted him openly and secretly. This trick is extremely skillful.

Sun Yat-sen and Feng Yuxiang both sent a telegram to invite Chen Zikun to go north to discuss the country, which greatly increased his value invisibly. Originally, there was a group of people in Jiangdong Province who were very restless and ready to move, wanting to take advantage of the Fengtian army to go south to overthrow Chen Zikun and welcome Sun Kaiqin back, but seeing Chen Zikun's prestige so high, he quietly gave up his thoughts.

Compared with Chen Zikun, Sun really can't make any move.

Immediately afterwards, the order of the temporary government arrived, and Chen Zikun was promoted again, as the deputy chief of the Army, the general of the Army, and the general of the General of the Warrior. He was so prominent that Chen Zikun didn't eat this at all, swallowed the bait and spit it back.

After the order was issued, a massive mass parade broke out in Jiangdong Provincial Capital, mainly composed of young students, and strongly demanded that Chen be kept and supervised.

Chen Zikun was right and called the government to call the government, saying that the public security in Jiangdong Province had not yet stabilized, and he did not dare to leave his post without hesitation, and was willing to serve as the deputy commander of the army as the supervisor of Jiangdong Province's military affairs.

Duan Qirui almost got angry after receiving the telegram. Chen Zikun was a little shameless, but he had no choice but to send troops to fight? Now there is only one empty space left in the Anhui clique, and all the territory and army have been lost, and there is no force to deter the warlords below.

Sun Kaiqin came to ask for help every day and took care of all the people around Duan Qirui. At first Duan Qirui was patient and perfunctory to him, but later he became anxious and simply avoided him. He scolded him in his heart. If he hadn't been so useless, the Anhui faction would not have been defeated so miserably.

...

Chen Zikun didn't care about this mess in Beijing. He took his two wives to celebrate Christmas on the beach. As for Sun Wen and Feng Yuxiang's invitation call, he was not as excited as the outside world imagined. He knew very well what the two of them were thinking, but they just wanted to use their own military power. He called back and said that the smoking ban was complicated recently, and after this wave, he was ordered to go to Beijing. Of course, it was just an excuse.

Who the hell knows if he will be detained after entering Beijing? Chen Zikun thinks this way.

On the last day of 1924, Sun Yat-sen took the Beijing-Tianjin Railway to Beijing. The capital was crowded with people and was striving to witness the style of a great man. 300,000 people went to the station to greet him. At the same time, most of the Fengtian army went south to occupy the entire territory of Shandong, and 30,000 troops arrived in Xuzhou. Chen Diaoyuan, the governor of Xuzhou, had already secretly communicated with the Fengtian army. At this time, not only did not fight, but retreated and gave up the road.

Qi Xieyuan, the governor of Jiangsu, was not at ease. After the dismissal order from Beijing, the generals under his command had a strange intention. Not only did Chen Tiaoyuan betray him, but other generals also turned against him. The troops stationed in Shanghai frequently adjusted defenses, which aroused Sun Chuanfang's suspicion. He did not exchange fire with the Fengtian army, and the Soviet army and Zhejiang army also started fighting.

On January 2, 1925, the Sixth Division of the Jiangsu Route Army stationed in Shanghai mutiny. Sun Chuanfang brought troops to attack him. The Soviet army was defeated and almost became a mess. Zhang Zongchang's troops successfully entered Nanjing. Lu Yongxiang also returned openly and formed the Xuanfu Army in Nanjing. Its reputation was great and he looked at Shanghai.

In less than two months, Feng Shui completely changed. Qi Xieyuan finally managed to capture the territory of Shanghai and was about to get out before his butt was hot. Lu Yongxiang had just stepped down and killed him in a flash. It really surprised everyone, sighing that the world was changing too quickly.

The Anhui clan made a comeback, and the direct clan was getting worse. Lu Xiaojia returned to Shanghai again. Huang Jinrong, the boss of Sanxin Company, was the host and invited him to have dinner in his private house. Not only Du Yuesheng was there, but Zhang Xiaolin, who had disappeared for many days, appeared.

Lu Xiaojia sat in the seat with a glass of wine, and said with great momentum: "I promise you that within a month, Chen's smoking ban law enforcement team will disappear from Shanghai."

Although Huang Jinrong had had a fight with Lu Xiaojia, he was as good as a father at this time. The old hooligan smiled and said, "I'm relieved if I have this sentence from Mr. Lu. I'm so eager to see through my eyes and only hope that the army will arrive in Shanghai before we can clear the clouds and see the sun."

Zhang Xiaolin said: "Mr. Lu, what are you going to deal with Chen Zikun?"

Lu Xiaojia said: "In theory, the defeated commander of the army usually let him go to the concession to be a condominium. I think my father will deal with Chen Zikun like this. Hehe, if you enter the concession, you will have the final say."

Zhang Xiaolin also laughed: "The phoenix that landed on the ground is not as good as a chicken. Chen Zikun squatted on Ala's head and shit. Isn't it just because there are soldiers on his hands? When General Lu's army arrives, Ala sees how he still pretends to be a tiger's power. When he falls on Ala's hands, hum."

Du Yuesheng held the ivory cigarette holder and didn't speak.

Lu Xiaojia said: "Beijing has already decided. Jiangdong Province will still let Sun Shishu take charge of the overall situation. Jiangsu, Anhui and Shanghai will be responsible for their fathers. At that time, they will open tobacco shops, casinos and brothels. If you have a gossip, who dares to sneer? I will send troops to destroy him immediately."

Everyone on the table slapped.

Lu Xiaojia was content with her hand and pressed her down: "But I also have a condition. Sanxin Company, I want to account for 20% of the dry shares."

There was silence, and everyone lowered their heads to smoke, unwilling to take on the matter, and 20% of them were dry, and their appetite was too big. However, if they didn't agree to him, they would be afraid that the business would not be able to continue. These beasts supported by the army had a bigger appetite than the other.

Lu Xiaojia said: "If you don't speak, I'll think you have agreed."

Everyone's faces looked ugly.

Du Yuesheng raised his wine glass and said, "Let's discuss it again, drink, drink."

...

In mid-January, Qi Xieyuan named himself the commander-in-chief of the First Route of the Songhu Alliance in Shanghai, and Sun Chuanfang was the commander-in-chief of the Second Route. The two armies jointly fought against the Fengtian army and headed south. Chen Zikun, the military supervisor of Jiangdong Province, sent a telegram across the country, proposing a peaceful solution to the Songhu issue.

Seeing that the war was about to start again, the concession authorities could no longer bear it. Marines from various countries landed in Shanghai, and the corps of the Wanguo Merchants entered a state of combat readiness. The gunboats on the Huangpu River even opened their cannon suits, and the black muzzles aimed at the Chinese world, posing as if they were interfering with force.

The Republic of China Navy stationed in Wusongkou was in trouble as usual. What is amazing is that Chen Zikun's troops stationed in Shanghai were also neutral. All soldiers of a regiment were replaced with black police uniforms, and the sign hanging at the gate of the military camp also changed the words: Songhu Smoking ban law enforcement team.

Others were busy fighting, but Chen Zikun was still busy banning smoking. The businessman who ate opium, led by Sanxin Company, was tortured and suffered a lot. Du Yuesheng, who couldn't hold on, found Chen Zikun and had some negotiations with him at the Wusongkou Smoking Corps.

Chen Zikun said: "Boss Du, I must ban opium. There is no room for negotiation."

Du Yuesheng's heart trembled and said with a smile: "If you want to ban it, you must ban it. It's just that there are too many smokers, so there must be time for them to lose their addiction, right?"

Chen Zikun said: "What you said makes sense. I have an immature idea to hand over the burden of smoking ban to all the colleagues of the Chamber of Commerce. You can manage it yourself, so that our Smoking ban Law Enforcement Corps can work so hard."

Du Yuesheng was secretly happy and said, "That's the best, but the brothers in the law enforcement team worked hard and made great contributions. Our Shanghai elders always have to express their feelings."

Chen Zikun said: "Let's do this, pay a deposit of 10 million yuan at one time, and I will delegate the right to ban smoking to you."

Du Yuesheng was speechless: "Marrior Chen, this number is too large, we can't afford it."

Chen Zikun said: "It seems to be a little bigger, so let's pay in installments. 300,000 yuan a month, no less."

Du Yuesheng was secretly happy. In the past, he only paid less than 200,000 yuan every month for the Songhu garrison and the police department. This money could not be saved no matter how much. As long as Chen Zikun agreed not to ban smoking, it would be worth it.

Moreover, installment payment has an advantage. According to the current situation, it will take long for Lu Yongxiang to come back. At that time, Chen Zikun will naturally leave Shanghai, so won’t have to pay for this money?

After some bargaining, the monthly price was finally finalized. As long as the money was paid, the ban on smoking law enforcement brigade would turn a blind eye and no longer spared no effort to seize opium.

"I agreed to it just depends on Boss Du's face. If the ban on smoking is not effective, don't blame me for being ruthless." Chen Zikun was still good at taking advantage of it, but Du Yuesheng was still very happy. After the matter was negotiated, Sanxin Company would be able to make money every day, and it would be double insurance. Whether it is Lu Yongxiang or Chen Zikun, who can occupy Shanghai, it can ensure the normal progress of the opium business.

"Marrior Chen, 200,000 yuan will be given another day. This ring is the deposit, please accept it with a smile." Du Yuesheng took off an emerald ring of excellent quality from his hand and gently put it on the table.

Emerald gems are priceless, not comparable to jadeite. This ring is worth at least 100,000 yuan. Chen Zikun glanced at it and said, "If a gentleman doesn't win over what he loves, Boss Du should put it away."

If someone else said this, Du Yuesheng might be unhappy. There is no reason to recycle the gifts given by the dignified boss Du. But when Chen Zikun said this, he had no temper at all. He put away the ring and fist and said, "Thank you, the 200,000 tickets from the village will be presented."

Chen Zikun said: "Come here, I will hand over the 500 kilograms of opium that have been seized recently to Mr. Du and take it away and destroy it."

Du Yuesheng was overjoyed and thanked him so much that he left with opium.

The adjutant came to report: "The provincial capital has 100,000 urgent telegrams."

Chen Zikun received the telegram and was shocked. It turned out that the army of Zhang Zongchang of the Fengtian Army had already entered Jiangdong Province, and he was going to compete with him for territory.

"Mom, Zhang Xueliang's words are not kept in mind!" Chen Zikun said angrily, and after walking back and forth a few steps, he said: "Tell me my order to let the front-line troops retreat ninety miles and not to exchange fire with the Fengtian army."

Zhao Yufeng said strangely: "Master, we can't beat Turtle's son, why should we retreat?"

Chen Zikun said: "Hanqing has been kind to me. I have promised him that if he faces the Feng army, he should retreat."
