The Republic of China. A Dream of Mandarin Ducks and Butterflies

In April 1922, 4 soldiers of the Feng army entered Shanhaiguan. On April 12, Zhang Zuolin went to Tianjin Junliang City to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Zhenwei Army.The Fengjun West Route Army is divided into three echelons by Zhang Zuolin as the commander-in-chief: the first echelon Zhang Zuoxiang, the second echelon Zhang Xueliang, and the third echelon Li Jinglin. [4]:29 On the immediate side, Wu Peifu commanded 1 divisions and 140 brigades of about 7 people as the commander-in-chief, stationed in Zhuozhou.The west road is Liulihe Wu Peifu's third division, Gu'an Wang Chengbin's No.5 third division, and the east road is Machang Zhang Guorong's No.10 sixth division and Zhang Fulai's No.20 fourth division. On April 20, the two armies launched battles in Machang (right wing), Changxindian (left wing), and Baxian (middle road) in Gu'an Battle, Yongqing Battle, Changxindian Battle, and Baxian Battle. When there was a victory or defeat, Wu Peifu dispatched a surprise soldier to detour to attack the Fengjun's rear, and the Fengjun was attacked by the enemy; in addition, the No. 20 division of Fengjun Zou Fen defected, and the whole formation collapsed. On May 4, the Zhijun occupied Changxindian, Yongqing, and Jinghai.At the same time, Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army left Tongguan, defeated Zhao Ti, and occupied Henan.

In the end, the Zhili Army won, Zhang Zuolin withdrew from Shanhaiguan, and was attacked by artillery fire from the Zhili Navy in Qinhuangdao.However, during the attack on Shanhaiguan, the Zhijun encountered tenacious resistance from the troops of Zhang Xueliang and Guo Songling, and the attack was blocked, and was mediated by foreign missionaries. On May 5, the first Zhifeng War ended, and the two sides signed a peace treaty on the Qinhuangdao British Ship to stop the war.

Although the battle was near Beijing, everyone followed the rule of not touching the imperial capital, and only fought fiercely on the periphery. Therefore, the people in the city were not affected much. Zai Kun, who knew the inside news, was not in a hurry. Live a normal life with a big family.

Wu Hai was the one who suffered the most damage this time. He went home injured because of his participation in the battle. His right arm had been in plaster and could not move freely. If he survived, he should thank the Buddha for his pity. , It's time to train his son to be his successor.

But as soon as he got home, he was even more annoyed, because he would always think about the elopement of his daughter and that bastard Zai Yu. After his injury improved, he simply lived in Liu Ying's house, which would make him more comfortable. Open one eye and close one eye.

"I'm not talking about you. Last time Fang Lian came back, you drove her away, and now you're here sighing. What do you want?" Liu Ying only listened to someone sighing all day and Sunday morning. I sympathize with this guy, it took a lot of trouble to persuade Fang Lian to go back, but the result is...

Wu Hai, who was leaning on the head of the bed, replied stubbornly: "I just want her to come back, whoever asked her to bring that bastard with me, I'll be so angry when I see him!"

"Isn't Zaiyu just a little older? What's wrong with her? She also loves Fanglian. Anyone who sees her is envious!" Liu Ying occasionally goes to Zaiyu's house to sit and see Fanglian by the way. Lian, he and Fang Lian got along very well, as if there was no age difference.

"You think he's good, why didn't you talk to him earlier, so you can save my daughter from harming me!" He started to speak without any scruples, probably because he was injured and was not feeling well. My heart is burning.

Liu Ying angrily put down the pictorial, and said angrily, "What do you mean by that? You know that I've been the only one for so many years, and you're making trouble for no reason!" He can't speak four or six children.

"I'm going to make trouble for no reason, don't follow me if you have the ability!" Wu Hai said shamelessly, showing a smirk with white teeth, only by bullying this person can he get out of his bad mood.

The little shadow simply threw the pictorial on his lover's face, turned around and left the room.

"Fuck...you've got a temper!" Wu Hai was in a hurry and wanted to chase after him, but his injured arm was pulled, and there was a burst of pain. After all, he is not a young man anymore, he can't accept his old age.

But this night, Liu Ying really didn't come back, which made Wu Hai very anxious. The two have been together for so many years, and quarrels are inevitable, but they have never had such a big fight. He also feels that he is a bit too much, but it is too manly to give up immediately. He was bold, but worried that Liu Ying would hate him because of it. After all, he was just in his 30s and didn't have a single gray hair yet, but he was already making great strides towards the sunset red.

On Wednesday morning, before Lord Belle woke up, he was quarreled by Zhou Ping at the door.

"Lord Belle, the viscount and the second elder brother are back."

Before Zhou Ping finished speaking, Zai Kun jumped up from the bed, hurriedly put on his clothes and pushed open the door. He didn't receive the telegram. He clearly said that he would come back in two weeks. Why did he come back at the end of May? What about Beijing?

When they came to the living room, Kelso and Pu Xi were sitting at the dining table having breakfast, they should have arrived here just after getting off the train.

"Ama!" Seeing his father, Pu Xi, who looked like the reincarnation of the god of beauty, hurried over, hugged his father affectionately, kissed him on the cheek, and behaved like an Englishman.

The 17-year-old second elder brother has been paid too much attention since he was born too much like his mother. His hair color is different from that of ordinary Chinese, but it is also different from that of the British. It is dark brown. His pupils are the same as those of his mother. The same color is emerald, the skin is white, but it has inherited the softness and tenderness of the oriental people, which is even better than Kelso's, and it can be said that it can be easily broken.His figure is not burly, but compared to the thin Kelso when he was young, he looks a bit stronger. He is five or six centimeters shorter than the boss Puying, which is considered a standard height among men. He looks really awesome in a suit. .

"I haven't seen you in half a year, and I've grown taller again." Zai Kun said happily, but when he turned his face, he saw the Viscount sitting on the chair frowning, as if he had something very serious on his mind.

"Well, where's the big brother, is he still sleeping late?" Pu Xie asked, he also missed his brother very much, except for the big brother, he didn't confide in others, even his parents.

"You don't need to ask." Master Belle replied in a reproachful tone. He saw Yanlin enter his son's room in the middle of the night before, presumably the two slept together again.

"You go back to the room and rest, I have something to talk to your mother." Zai Kun winked at Kelso, and the two came to the study side by side.

Pu Xie stood where he was, watching his parents leave. He knew that his decision would cause a family storm, but this was not a child's play, it was a choice he made after a long time of deliberation.

Zai Kun pulled the Viscount to sit on the sofa, and asked in a low voice, "What happened?"

"Kun... I'm sorry for you!" Kelso covered his face and said weakly.

"What's the matter?" He hurriedly asked.

"Xiao'er is going to the seminary, and he wants to be a priest." As a mother, this is the reality he is least willing to see, and the sinner who caused this result is himself. This led to Pu Xi's rebellious and withdrawn character.

Zai Kun was also stunned when he heard this, and it took him a long time to smile awkwardly: "He really looks like you!" Apart from that, he couldn't think of other words for the time being.

Kelso was sobbing with tears, and he tried his best to persuade his son along the way, hoping that he would change his mind, but the boy just refused to listen and insisted on going to the seminary, following the same old path as him, he is someone who has experienced it , I understand the sadness and hardship involved, and the struggle within the church can often not stay out of it. More importantly, if the child really meets the object of love one day, it will definitely be shaken, and it will be difficult to look back at that time. There are too many Gossip will bring people close to collapse, but he understands it too deeply!

Zai Kun put his arms around his shoulders and comforted him softly: "He just wants to become a monk in a seminary. It takes at least six or seven years to go from a monk to a priest. He has enough time to think clearly. If we block it, Interfering with his life will make him hate it instead." Although he was unwilling to let his son become a priest from the bottom of his heart, he is an adult who has seen the world after all, so he has gradually changed the way of educating children over the past few years , the effect is better from blocking to dredging, the boss Pu Ying is the best proof.

Kelso sighed leisurely: "Well... so I insisted on letting him come to Beijing. He is by our side. I feel more at ease. If there is any change, we can help him. Don't be like me back then. I'm alone and helpless." Only I know the feeling of it best, and the grudge between him and Kun began at that time.

"Just do as you said. Studying in the seminary in Beitang, and going home every weekend, it will make us more at ease than if he stays in England." Although he said so, but He decided to talk to Pu Xi anyway, maybe he had to convince the child.

Kelso gradually calmed down. He wiped away his tears and said, "I'm going to move to Dongjiaominxiang."

"You don't live outside the front door anymore?" Zai Kun thought that Kelso had bought a big house, and there were several large villas in Dongjiaomin Lane.

"No, I just moved there alone." This was his decision, and he had already considered it clearly before returning to the UK. He had an apartment in Dongjiaomin Lane, which he bought for investment purposes before, but now he took it back for his own use.

Only then did Lord Belle realize that this was Kelso's final decision, and he asked unhurriedly, "He doesn't know yet, does he?"

The Viscount nodded lightly: "I didn't tell him, I just want to move out when I come back this time." He was very afraid of that scene, but it was even more uncomfortable if it continued like this, it would be torture for each of them, and Jin Kai Still young, it's very easy to find a good match.

"It's good that you don't shut me out, otherwise I won't let you step out of here." This is Kelso's decision, and he shouldn't interfere. Now at least the other party will no longer maintain a "husband and wife relationship" with Jin Kai "It's okay, he should be relieved?No, what if that guy chases after him shamelessly, his previous hard work was in vain!
