After receiving Wu Qiren's invitation, Yang Hucheng happily went.

"Commander Yang, how much my brother offended you a few days ago, please forgive me this time, my lord." Wu Qiren knelt down on one knee.Clasped fists with both hands to apologize to Yang Hucheng.

When Yang Hucheng saw Wu Qiren's attitude, whether it was sincere or acting, he was apologizing to himself after all.Killing is nothing more than nodding your head. Since he has bowed his head and surrendered, he can only accept it.

Thinking of this, Yang Hucheng hurried forward to help Wu Qiren up: "Mr. Wu, get up quickly, what are you doing?"

"If Commander Yang doesn't forgive me, I won't get up." Wu Qiren made up his mind that if you don't agree, I won't get up.

"Brother Wu, who do you think the commander-in-chief is? How could he care about that matter? You are overthinking." Zhang Zhigong said from the side, seemingly reassuring Wu Qiren, but actually telling Yang Hucheng that you should not care about it. That's it.

"Haha, Mr. Wu, is that a matter? Get up quickly, I forgive you."

How could Yang Hucheng not understand Zhang Zhigong's meaning, he laughed, and helped Wu Qiren with his hands, Wu Qiren stood up.

"The Commander-in-Chief has a large number of adults, and my younger brother admires it. Thinking of what happened the day before yesterday is really embarrassing." Half of Wu Qiren said this with sincere emotion, and it was usually a compliment to Yang Hucheng.

"Mr. Wu, what is this talking about? You are a family in the first place, and you are all fighting for the war. It's no big deal to be noisy." Yang Hucheng said politely.

"Okay, now that you two are reconciled, let's stop standing and let's start the banquet quickly, I'm hungry." Zhang Zhigong, who was standing beside him, said openly.

"Okay, let's start the banquet now." Wu Qiren walked outside the door and gave instructions to the adjutant.

After a while, the waiter in the shop began to serve the dishes, and the banquet began.

Wu Qiren was also very happy to solve a problem in his heart. He kept persuading Yang Hucheng to drink more, and also toasted Zhang Zhigong to thank him.

The three chatted more and more speculatively. Gradually, I didn't call you Commander Yang, and you didn't call me Mr. Wu or Mr. Zhang.Wu Qiren's relationship with Yang Hucheng and Zhang Zhigong became better because of the disturbance at the headquarters, which was something he did not expect. . . )

Chapter 25 Taking Back the Concession

According to Zhang Anle's order, the 15rd Division and the 20th Division handed over the task of besieging Wuchang to No.[-] Division and No.[-] Third Division, and their troops marched towards Yueyang

Zhang Anle's visit to Hanyang this time is of course not just for Wuchang. On June 6, all the concessions in Hankou will be returned to the Chinese government. Zhang Anle is here to participate in the handover ceremony. Premier Gu Weijun of the State Council went to Tianjin. Going to Tianjin, now that the war in Wuchang has not progressed, he simply came to Hanyang to supervise the war

The Hankou Concession is located between Zhongshan Avenue and Yanjiang Avenue in Jiang’an District. Starting from Jianghan Road, it is the British Concession, the Russian Concession, the French Concession, the German Concession and the Japanese Concession. The Russian Concession was returned to China after the signing of the Sino-Soviet Agreement in 1923. The German concessions were also taken back by my country after the defeat. Now the only concessions are those of Britain, France and Japan.

According to the provisions of the "Sino-Japanese Treaty of Tianjin", Japan will withdraw from all the concessions in China before July 7. The Tianjin Japanese Concession, the Hankou Japanese Concession, the Suzhou Japanese Concession, the Hangzhou Japanese Concession, and the Chongqing Japanese Concession will become historical terms. 1 concessions in China: In addition to Xiamen still in the hands of the Northern Expeditionary Army, the British Concession in Tianjin, the British Concession in Hankou, the British Concession in Guangzhou, the British Concession in Jiujiang, and the British Concession in Zhenjiang will also return to the hands of the Chinese people

On June 6, tens of thousands of Hanyang people gathered outside the iron gate at the intersection of Hualou Street and Xinsheng Road. They will witness the moment when the concession is taken back. On both sides of the iron gate are the five-color flags of the Republic of China, with a huge The banner reads the recovery ceremony of the Hankou Concession

The Japanese wanted to hold the withdrawal ceremony at the Japanese Consulate General, and the British wanted to hold it in the auditorium of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce. Zhang An chose this place. Although the two countries were reluctant, there was no other way. After all, Zhang Anle, as the head of state of a country, was willing to come. It’s very face-saving. The so-called gentleman’s spirit in the UK is actually to save face. If you give enough face, they don’t care.

At around 8 o'clock in the morning, Zhang Anle, British Consul Ge Fu, Japanese Acting Consul General Tanaka Masaichi in Hankou, and French Consul Lu Gongde came out of the concession on time to see Zhang Anle coming out. The people outside were led by caring people. Shout the slogan "Long Live the Republic of China, Long Live the Chinese People".

While waving to the crowd, Zhang Anle walked slowly with several consuls to the stage set up outside the iron gate. There were several tables on it, and the tables were covered with red cloths.

After the four people sat down one by one, the later people handed over the documents. This document is the handover document, the public facility management agency and staff in the concession, etc. At 4:[-] in the morning, the Hankou Health Bureau, Police Station and Municipal Bureau had already The handover has been completed with the relevant parts in the concession

The people below didn't know what they signed, and they all thought it was a contract for return. In fact, the contract for return had already been signed.

After Zhang Anle finished signing, gun salutes sounded in the distance, and warships and civilian ships on the river sounded their sirens one after another.

Outside Wuchang City on the other side of the river, soldiers besieging the city fired their guns into the sky

The bell in the auditorium also struck the hour, and the crowd cheered

In such an atmosphere, several foreign consuls went back to their consulates with interest

After signing, several foreign consuls knew each other and went back to their respective homes.

After the crowd calmed down, Zhang Anle delivered a speech in Hankou, pointing out that the withdrawal of the concession represented China's increasingly important status in the international community. The public concessions in Shanghai and Gulangyu and all the concessions except the concession in Xiamen, Xiamen, Shanghai, and Gulangyu will return to the hands of the Chinese people, and the foreign powers who invaded and occupied Chinese territory will return a lot of money to the Chinese people. in hand

Zhang Anle, who was sitting in the car, happily got the news that there was an incident of taking back the concession in the Republic of China

Due to the continuous rise of China's national strength and the continuous growth of China's relationship with the United Kingdom, China's withdrawal of the concessions of Britain, France, Italy and other countries in China has aroused the patriotic enthusiasm of the Chinese people. Many people began to think that this government is not Well, I hate that as a condition, China will borrow a total of 10 billion US dollars from Britain, France, Italy, and Belgium. The trade and investment of the four countries in China will also have some preferential policies.

Influence: Funds + 8 million national dissatisfaction 5, relations with Britain, France, Italy, Belgium +10, relations with Japan 30

Loans to the four countries and providing them with preferential policies are the reasons why the four countries are willing to return the concession. The 10 billion US dollars is not all loaned to China in the form of funds, including a lot of machinery and equipment, the use of technology patents and arms, etc. equivalent to US dollars 2 million, this is the reason for the capital + 8 million

Zhang Anle never thinks that there is anything wrong with the loan. After all, in his previous life, he was dealing with banks and companies, and he was in contact with the loan business. Moreover, the Chinese government's loans are not like those in the Qing Dynasty. There are many additional damages to sovereignty. conditions of

After attending the signing ceremony in Hankou, Zhang Anle boarded the warship directly by car. He was going to Nanjing to participate in the foundation laying of an important project.

The Yangtze River is the longest river in China. It has made great contributions to the development and growth of the Chinese nation. But for a long time, it has been like a moat that cut off the direct connection between the north and the south of China. People on both sides of the Yangtze River have become accustomed to crossing the river by ferry.

When Zhang Anle came to Shanghai last year, he experienced the inconvenience of reversing. He first took a car to Pukou, then boarded a ship, disembarked at the opposite bank of the river, and then boarded a train. A big bridge, this time he became the ruler, he can finally implement his plan

Zhang Anle has learned the story of Mao Yisheng from textbooks since he was a child. He said that he did not go to the Qiantang River to watch the tide when he was a child. Later, he heard that the bridge on the Qiantang River collapsed and many people died, so he determined to build a strong bridge. We don't know the truth of the story, but what is certain is that he is definitely the most famous bridge expert in our country

For the construction of the Yangtze River Bridge this time, he will of course be the chief engineer.

When Mao Yisheng learned that the Yangtze River Bridge was going to be built, he was very excited. He immediately resigned from the post of president of Tangshan University of the Ministry of Communications, and devoted himself to the site selection and research for the bridge construction.

After more than two months of intensive work, the site selection has been completed and all the work has been prepared. The labor problem that was more worrying, because the reorganization of the army in Shandong has provided sufficient labor for the construction of the bridge.

Although I have heard Mao Yisheng's name countless times, this is the first time seeing a real person. Zhang Anle felt a burst of distress when he saw this stubble-faced and thin man in front of him, and hurried forward to talk to this respected man. Scientology handshake

"It's really hard work for you." Zhang Anle said softly beside Mao Yisheng (to be continued)

Chapter 26 Besieged

"Commander Zhang, I didn't work hard at all. I didn't expect that I would be able to build the Yangtze River Bridge so soon." Mao Yisheng looked at Zhang Anle and said happily, "Although I have always believed that we will build a bridge on the Yangtze River sooner or later, I did not expect this day." Thank you for coming so fast.”

Zhang Anle suddenly didn't know how to answer the conversation, but looking at Mao Yisheng, who was as happy as a child who had found his favorite toy, he suddenly realized that the country was very sorry for these experts who resolutely gave up the good living environment and scientific research environment abroad for the sake of the country. Scholars who returned home with patriotic zeal and received little

"This is what I should do. With the unification of the country, we will have more and more large-scale infrastructure construction projects. In the future, you will be busy with some of them." Zhang Anle said with a smile

After chatting with Mao Yisheng for a while, he began to introduce the bridge he designed. Zhang Anle didn't understand this, but in order not to spoil his interest, he just listened to his introduction there.

When laying the foundation, Zhang Anle deliberately asked Mao Yisheng to move the shovel first, and the camera next to it faithfully recorded this scene. After the documentary "Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge" was broadcast, it became a favorable evidence of Zhang Anle's respect for intellectuals.

Zhang Anle’s current large-scale activities, or things he thinks are meaningful, will be recorded by cameras. These are precious historical images

After participating in the foundation stone laying ceremony of the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge, Zhang Anle did not stop in Nanjing, and took the train north to Beijing the next day. Before getting on the train, he got good news that the third and fourth divisions had taken Yueyang down. Now they are Heading to Changsha after three days of rest and planning

"This time, my brother came here under the order of Commander-in-Chief Zhang, and together with you to deal with the aftermath of Sichuan after the war, you will have to trouble you. I hope everyone will support you." He Guoguang at the reception banquet held for him by Liu Xiang toast

"Director He, don't worry, you are now in Sichuan as an imperial envoy, it is no different from Commander Zhang's visit in person. I assure you here, whoever dares not open their eyes to hinder your work, I will punish you severely." Liu Xiang almost patted his chest to promise

"Hehe, with Governor Liu's words, I'm relieved brother, brother, do it first as a respect." He Guoguang drank the wine with a smile and then showed others with an empty glass
