1928: The Rise of Giants

Chapter 276 Historical Moments
September 17, the 1928th year of the Republic of China (12).

8:[-] am.

North, Fengtian.

Provincial Auditorium.

Ye Luo, who was wearing a Chinese tunic suit, and Bai Xiuzhu, who was wearing a progressive schoolgirl uniform, walked hand in hand.

Just after breakfast time, the auditorium was crowded with people, including important leaders from all over the country, as well as the most powerful leaders of the Fengcian warlords.

Zhang Hanqing's decision shocked everyone, but as the top leader in the north, since he had made up his mind, others should follow it and dare not have any objections.

What is interesting is that none of the warlords who were living in apartments in various places in Tianjin due to the defeat were not present, and they did not receive Zhang Hanqing's invitation.

Ye Luoben also wanted to take this opportunity to get to know the heroes who were all-powerful in the country, such as Sun Chuanfang, Lu Yongxiang, etc.

"A Luo, Han Qing is busy today. Please forgive me if I didn't treat you well." Yu Fengzhi, dressed elegantly and elegantly, walked over with a smile, followed by the young and beautiful Zhao Yidi. The two women seemed to get along. Pretty good.

"Sister Xiuzhu is beautiful again. Let me tell you, in Peking, everyone called you the most beautiful girl in the world, but you still don't recognize it. Now, you are as graceful as Hu Die, Ruan Lingyu, and You. It can’t be compared.”

Yu Fengzhi held Bai Xiuzhu's hand, called Zhao Yidi over again, and said with a half-smile,
"Xiang Sheng, are you right?"

"Sister said yes." Zhao Yidi also smiled and came over.

Bai Xiuzhu has a simple temperament and chats well with them. Although her eldest lady has a serious temper, this is a plus in upper class society.

The reason is that every scheming woman hopes to have a seemingly silly and sweet lady like Bai Xiuzhu in social situations to set off their maturity and generosity.

Ye Luo is not innocent. Xiangsheng is Zhao Yidi's nickname. Except for her family members, she is usually called that only when she has a tryst with Zhang Hanqing. Looking at Zhao Yidi's expression at this time, you can tell how much Yu Fengzhi thinks about her relationship with Zhang Hanqing. Palm.

As expected, she was the famous "Sister Madam" in the north. She was older and more mature than Zhang Hanqing, and she had always been known as a virtuous wife. It is said that Zhang Hanqing always called her sister and treated her as an elder.

Previously, Zhang Hanqing's only concubine, Gu Ruiyu, a girl from the Gu family of Jinmen's wealthy family, tried every means to marry into the Zhang family, but was eventually divorced by Yu Fengzhi.

Speaking of Gu Ruiyu and Zhang Hanqing, there is an interesting anecdote.

The two met through English studies and later exchanged letters in English frequently. Gu Ruiyu fell in love with Zhang Hanqing and was even willing to rush to the front line to visit Zhang Hanqing when the war was raging.

This moved Zhang Hanqing very much, so on the night of the battlefield with heavy artillery fire, the young marshal's tent was also under fire.

In this way, Yu Fengzhi, who could not deny the established facts, could only accept his fate.

But she never let Gu Ruiyu step into the Marshal's mansion.

In her eyes, Zhao Yidi is Gu Ruiyu No. [-], and she also does not allow Zhao Yidi to enter the Zhang family.

Bai Xiuzhu next to Ye Luo looked like herself. Ye Luo was as popular with a woman as Zhang Hanqing and had many talents. Naturally, she wanted to teach Bai Xiuzhu how to control the family tradition.

When it comes to Ruan Lingyu and Hu Die, it must be Yu Fengzhi who has quietly checked Ye Luo's background and has some clues.

Ye Luo secretly smiled in his heart. Fortunately, his beautiful jewelry was not so narrow-minded. Bai Xiuzhu knew his relationship with Xiao Aqiao and others.

The Ye family and the Bai family are not as deeply ingrained in the concept of family status as the Zhang family, so they do not object to Ye Luo marrying his concubine.

Even in the Ye family, Ye Yuqiao and Li Shuzhen encouraged Ye Luo to marry his concubine and expand the branches of the Ye family. Who made his eldest brother Ye Hao a prodigal son.

Ye Luo didn't want to find trouble with Yu Fengzhi, so he thought of an excuse and left the group of women and headed towards the rostrum.At this time, Zhang Hanqing was surrounded by a group of big guys, but when he saw him, he waved excitedly, and then introduced Ye Luo to the big guys one by one.

Ye Luo, who made his name in Shanghai, is famous in the north thanks to the Yip Charity Foundation and movies, so he is not very popular with these military and political leaders.

When I heard that Zhang Hanqing decided to package all his idle military factories to Ye Luo, some people immediately jumped out to object.

The person who opposed it was the current second-in-command, Yang Yuting, who had a very high status.

He was the general councilor of the Northern Security Headquarters and the general manager of the three provinces arsenal appointed by the commander-in-chief in the past. He held a lot of military power, and all the properties that Zhang Hanqing threw out should have been managed by him.

Although he didn't want these arsenals, he didn't want them. Zhang Hanqing gave them to the businessman, which was just a slap in the face.

Yang Yuting, who had already created a gap due to the change of flag, was not happy.

"Liu Zi, what can a mere businessman know about the military industry? And he is doing business in the south, which is the principal's base, so you are not afraid that he was sent by the principal." Yang Yuting was so angry that he dared to shout anything in public.

Zhang Hanqing's expression suddenly changed: "Okay, that's it for now! Don't talk about it any more! The flag-changing ceremony will begin soon, let's go and take a seat."

Ye Luo broke into a cold sweat.

No wonder this old Yang was tortured to death by Zhang Hanqing.

I really dare to say anything regardless of the occasion.

Are you the principal's spy?

Now the North and the South are going to be unified in name only, and you are still talking about this.

Isn't it blatantly sowing discord?
There is also the title "Six Sons".

You can just scream in private, but in front of others, there are so many big shots, but Zhang Hanqing is not taken seriously at all.

Since ancient times, what have emperors hated most?
A minister whose merits exceed those of his lord.

A subordinate who doesn't know how to restrain himself.

Yang Yuting has experienced these two points.

If you don't die, who will die?
The atmosphere was awkward.

Fortunately, everyone's attention was soon attracted by the flag-changing ceremony.

On the high platform, Zhang Hanqing was wearing a dark yellow Zhongshan suit, and swearing committee member Fang Benren was wearing a robe and short coat. Amid the sound of military music, everyone bowed three times to the national flag and the portrait of Mr. Sun.

After Fang Benren respectfully read the will, he immediately took up the position of administering oaths and conferred the seal on the commander-in-chief and deputy commanders and the heads of departments. The commander-in-chief and deputy commanders of the border guards and the top leaders of the four provincial governments of Feng, Kyrgyzstan, Heihe and Re, and so on, raised their right hands and recited the oath. .

The local European and American consuls in Fengtian were invited to attend, but the Japanese consul did not arrive.

Fang Benren delivered a speech on behalf of the National Government: "Today's supplementary oath-taking ceremony for Commander Zhang and others is indeed a commemorative day for the success of the revolution and the reunification of the country."

Afterwards, Zhang Hanqing stood up to give a speech. After his speech, he made an impromptu speech: "Why should we do this? In fact, we are following the practices of a certain advanced country. At first, a certain party also had a warlord who exercised power and hindered its rule, making the country weak. Later The warlords are awakened, return great power, and become rich and powerful. The goal of what we are doing today is also the same, with the sole purpose of making the country strong, and other trivial matters can be ignored."

Later, Zhang Hanqing issued a flag-changing telegram to the whole country. The message read: "We should uphold the legacy of the late Generalissimo, strive for unification, and implement peace. We have announced from now on that we will obey the National Government and change the flag."
