Jagged Warlord

126. Hunting

The news of the recovery of Jinan by the Volunteers spread to Shangqiu, and the people of Shangqiu also cheered and rushed to the streets to celebrate spontaneously.What's more, the students of Huaxia University actually carried a huge portrait of Li Mohan to the streets to parade, shouting long live.Wherever they went, both soldiers, civilians, common people and gentry felt that there was nothing wrong with the slogan "Long live Li Mohan", so the parade team grew bigger and bigger, and the slogan "Long live Li Mohan" resounded throughout Shangqiu.

Shang Yifu came to open the curtains of Li Mohan's office, opened the window, and said to Li Mohan: "My lord, listen, how much the people love you."

Li Mohan smiled, and said, "Long live? I'm not the emperor. If this matter spreads to Beijing, I don't know how people will wear black bricks with small insoles."

Shang Yifu was a little disapproving. Although he was a steady civilian bureaucrat and had passed the age of burning passion, but at this moment there was an inexplicable excitement and excitement.In his view, the President Yuan in Beijing is so vague and distant, but the Marshal Li in front of him is a truly great man.

Tuk tuk duk, someone knocked on the door outside, "Report to the general, Reporter Lin is here."

"Please come in." Li Mohan returned to the desk

Shang Yifu coughed, picked up a few official documents and walked out quickly

After a while, Lin Jianqiu and a middle-aged man came in. After a few words of pleasantries, Lin Jianqiu pointed to the middle-aged man and said, "Let me introduce. This is Mr. Zhang Shichuan, the director of Shanghai Xinmin Film Company."

Zhang Shichuan, formerly known as Zhang Weitong, was born in Ningbo, Zhejiang.The boy lost his father, and went to Shanghai to do business with his uncle. He successively worked in Huayang Company and Beautify Foreign Firm.Self-taught English, familiar with the way of business. In 1913, he served as a consultant for the Asia Film Company founded by an American businessman. At the same time, he cooperated with Zheng Zhengqiu to organize Xinmin Company, contracted the film production business of Asia Company, and directed China's first short feature film "A Difficult Wife" written by Zheng Zhengqiu.

Although Zhang Shichuan can be regarded as a figure at the level of the patriarch of the Chinese film industry, the films he produced are really not flattering, and even took a detour.In the early days, he shot a batch of slapstick short films such as "Living Impermanence" and "Fighting the City God", the content of which was vulgar and boring.Especially "Zhang Xinsheng" (later renamed "Retribution"), the film is full of bloody and murderous scenes, so creepy that even the ruling authorities at that time banned its release.In order to pursue box office value, he directed the martial arts film "Burning the Red Lotus Temple", and shot 18 consecutive episodes, which set off a wave of film production companies competing to shoot such films.

Due to the sluggish business, he had to listen to the advice of his partner and screenwriter Zheng Zhengqiu, and changed to a feature film. He directed the promotion of "teaching filial piety" and "punishing evil", and co-directed with Zheng Zhengqiu a film that reflected and sympathized with the tragic fate of women. "Soul of Jade Pear", "Bitter Son and Weak Girl", "The Last Conscience", "A Woman in Shanghai", "Blind Orphan Girl", "The Orphan Saving the Ancestor", etc.

Li Mohan shook hands with Zhang Shichuan, and said, "It turned out to be a great director, sorry."

Zhang Shichuan was a little flattered, he never imagined that the youngest lieutenant general in China, who had achieved his ambition at a young age and had tens of thousands of elite soldiers in his hands, was so approachable and approachable.

Zhang Shichuan said: "General Li, let me make a long story short. The Volunteer Army regained Jinan and did something that even the President and the Beiyang Army dared not do. Needless to say, your personal prestige has been enhanced, and our Chinese national prestige and military prestige have been enhanced. I intend to make a movie for your army and show it nationwide. However, to make such a movie, you need to go deep into the barracks, and I hope General Li will agree."

Li Mohan nodded, and replied: "This is a good thing. I also hope to use this to inspire the morale of the people. The whole country will unite as one and fight against the enemy. I can support you in terms of manpower, material resources, and financial resources."

"It's really great. On behalf of all the employees of our company, I would like to thank General Li for his generosity." Zhang Shichuan was very happy, "Then I will go to Shanghai to arrange manpower. Let's go first." Zhang Shichuan bowed to Li Mohan, and then to Lin Jianqiu After throwing a grateful glance, hurried away

"Jianqiu, where did you find this person?" Li Mohan sat down next to Lin Jianqiu generously.

Lin Jianqiu was wearing beige uniform pants, a pair of brown leather boots on his feet, a pair of slender legs with sharp curves, and a tight purple jacket on his upper body, which also outlined the lines of his upper body in a concave and convex manner.Although Lin Jianqiu was dressed in a new style, he still did not take off the Chinese classics. He half-pushed and half-smiled shyly, paired with a shiny black shawl and long hair, which made Li Mohan's heart flutter.

Finally, Lin Jianqiu moved to the side, kept a little distance from Li Mohan, and said, "I met him when we were in the newspaper. His film company has not been doing well, so he asked me to help."

"That's it~" Li Mohan thought for a while, stood up, and said, "Well, it's spring now, how about we go outing and hunting?"

Lin Jianqiu jumped up excitedly, "Can you shoot?"

"Of course." Li Mohan's smile was brighter than the sunlight outside, and he added in his mind: "There are not only guns, but also cannons."

Marshal Li was going to go hunting in the suburbs, and with a single order, his subordinates immediately began to prepare.Early the next morning, the clouds were high and the wind was clear, and the grass was growing and warblers were flying.Li Mohan rode a horse to the outskirts early to adapt to the venue, and today he intends to show his talents and try to get the female reporter at once.

Not long after, the Ford car to pick up Lin Jianqiu arrived. Li Mohan went to open the door very gentlemanly, but saw that there was still a person sitting in the car.This person was wearing a narrow and slender high-necked shirt with flared sleeves fluttering like a fairy, revealing a large jade wrist.The waist of the short jacket is extremely tight and the bottom is a long skirt, which was the most popular style of top and bottom skirt at that time.This style of high-necked women's clothing is said to be influenced by the students studying in Japan at that time.

"Miss Shang?" Li Mohan was a little surprised, "Why are you here?"

Shang Yunzhi got out of the car and looked at Li Mohan with a half-smile, "What? You're not welcome? Blame me for ruining your good relationship with Sister Lin?"

"Where is it!" Li Mohan hurriedly stood aside to make room, and at the same time looked Shang Yunzhi up and down, it really was delicious.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lin Jianqiu stretched out his hand from the car and scratched Shang Yunzhi's waist, and Shang Yunzhi giggled and begged for mercy.

Then Lin Jianqiu got out of the car. Today she was wearing a lady's uniform that looked like a military uniform.

"Well, it's really heroic." Li Mohan gave a thumbs up

"There is nothing to be courteous about. It's either rape or robbery." Lin Jianqiu rolled his eyes at him.

Things like setting up a tent and making a fire are naturally done by his subordinates, so Li Mohan started to use all his strengths, hitting wine bottles, hitting apples on people's heads, riding a horse and shooting bows from left to right, hitting and throwing them continuously. Seeing the plate in the sky, Lin Jianqiu and monk Yunzhi were amazed.Especially Shang Yunzhi, who continued to applaud and applaud, and finally made Bai Nennen's little hands red.

Li Mohan was already tall and handsome, but today he rode a pure white Don horse. The way he galloped with his back to the sun immediately reminded Shang Yunzhi of the western literature he had read in the university library. The appearance of Prince Charming.

"Hey, unfortunately, he has already taken a fancy to Sister Lin."

After Li Mohan showed off, he began to teach Lin Jianqiu and monk Yunzhi how to use a gun.Shang Yunzhi didn't dare to play with guns, but Lin Jianqiu was very energetic. Ordinary pistols were not considered, so he had to use a rifle or a shotgun.After learning a half-baked game, Lin Jianqiu felt that target shooting was not fun, so he volunteered to shoot wild game for everyone.

There are definitely no large prey such as wild boars and wolves in the suburbs of Shangqiu, but wild ducks and hares can be seen everywhere.However, Reporter Lin's marksmanship was really poor, he shot seven or eight times in a row, and the gun missed the target.

Lin Jianqiu put another bullet into the gun, ready to shoot again, but was stopped by Li Mohan.

"Stop shooting. If you keep firing empty guns like this, you will scare away the prey."

"Damn it, it's because the prey is too small that I can't hit it." Lin Jianqiu was very unconvinced, "If it was a lion or a tiger, I would definitely hit the target with every shot."

"Okay, okay!" Li Mohan grabbed the rifle from Lin Jianqiu's hand and walked towards the reeds by the small river. After a while, he shot 3 hares and 2 pheasants.Lin Jianqiu is a girl from the city, and Shang Yunzhi usually grows up in a deep boudoir. He has never had such an exciting experience. He is not even afraid of blood. The two bloody pheasants and hares were so excited, they followed behind .

In the evening, a bonfire was lit in the camp, and pheasants and hares became delicacies on the barbecue grill. Li Mohan, Lin Jianqiu, and Shang Yunzhi sat around the bonfire, eating barbecue, grilling fish, drinking wine, and singing songs, not to mention how happy they were.

At night, tents are set up in the camp, and everyone camps here.After drinking some foreign wine, Lin Jianqiu felt hot all over and couldn't fall asleep for a while. She walked out of the tent, looked at the sky full of stars, and sighed, "It's so romantic."

Lin Jianqiu came to the small river while walking, and saw a tall, muscular man taking a bath in the small river.The moonlight shone on his muscular body, reflecting a strange and blurred light.

"It's him?" Lin Jianqiu only felt her body getting hotter. She bit her lip lightly, turned around and was about to leave, but accidentally stepped on a branch.

"Who?" Li Mohan jumped out of the river naked, "It's you?"

Facing the naked and strong man in front of him, Lin Jianqiu began to breathe rapidly, and wanted to cover his face and run away, but his feet didn't listen.She stood there blankly, watching Li Mohan get closer and closer.

Under the moonlight, Li Mohan rudely picked up Lin Jianqiu and walked towards his tent.

"No~" Lin Jianqiu twisted his body
