My husband's appetite has increased, which is undoubtedly due to his improved mood.
On the surface, it looks like smooth sailing and a bright future for his trip north to Beijing and Tianjin.
In fact, there are complicated undercurrents.
Duan Qirui, Feng Yuxiang, and Zhang Zuolin all have their own agendas and want to straighten out the relationship.
Reconciliation between the North and the South has a long way to go.
Chen Zikun is a Zhili warlord with a heavy army and is entrenched in East China.
He is one of the obstacles to unification.
If he can win his support, Sun Wen will have one more card in his hand and hope for unification.
It's no wonder he's in a bad mood.
Sun Wen's telegram was sent in the form of electricity, and soon the contents of the telegram reached the hands of Feng Yuxiang, who was "living in seclusion" in Xishan.
At first, he did not believe that Chen Zikun was a member of the Kuomintang.
When he saw the telegram, he immediately sighed: " Brother Kunwu, please don’t bully me.”
He also sent a telegram, the content of which was consistent with Sun Wen's, inviting Chen Zikun to go north to discuss state affairs.
The news quickly reached the ears of the interim ruler Duan Qirui.
These two telegrams made him extremely passive.
Jiangdong Province turned out to be the territory of the Anhui Clan and was stolen by Chen Zikun.
Now Lu Yongxiang and Sun Kaiqin have arrived in Beijing and are waiting The ruling government ordered the dismissal of Qi Xieyuan and Chen Zikun from their posts and took back the territory.
Duan Qirui has already issued two orders, revoking Qi Xieyuan's original and concurrent posts and appointing Lu Yongxiang as the envoy of Jiangdong and Anhui Province.
The third order is also being drafted, which is to remove Chen Zikun from the post of Jiangdong Provincial Military Affairs Supervisor and take over.
Naturally, it was Sun Kaiqin, but once the two telegrams from Sun Wen and Feng Yuxiang were sent, it seemed inappropriate for him to send this order again.
Jiang was old and hot, so Duan Qirui quickly found a solution.
He still issued an order to revoke Chen Zikun's position as Jiangdong Provincial Military Affairs Supervisor, but immediately appointed him as the deputy chief of the army, promoted him to the rank of army general, and awarded him the title of Xiaowu.
The rank of general is promoted openly and secretly.
This skill can be described as extremely sophisticated.
Both Sun Yat-sen and Feng Yuxiang sent telegrams to invite Chen Zikun to go north to discuss state affairs, which inadvertently greatly increased his worth.
Originally, there was a group of people in Jiangdong Province who were very restless and ready to move.
They wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of Feng's army moving south to counterattack and overthrow Chen Zikun.
Welcoming Sun Kaiqin back, but seeing that Chen Zikun's prestige was so high, he quietly gave up the idea.
Compared with Chen Zikun, Governor Sun is really incompetent.
Immediately afterwards, the order from the Provisional Government arrived, and Chen Zikun was once again promoted to the rank of Undersecretary of the Army, General of the Army, and General.
Swallowed, the hook was spit back.
After the order was issued, a massive mass demonstration broke out in the Jiangdong provincial capital, mainly composed of young students, strongly demanding that Supervisor Chen be retained.
Chen Zikun was justified and called the ruling government, saying that the public security in Jiangdong Province was not stable and that he did not dare to leave his post without permission.
He was willing to serve as the deputy army chief as the military affairs supervisor of Jiangdong Province.
Duan Qirui's nose almost became angry after receiving the telegram.
This Chen Zikun was so shameless, but he couldn't do anything about it.
Could it be possible to send troops to fight?
Now the Anhui Clique is only an empty frame, and all the territories and troops are gone.
If it is lost, there will be no force to deter the warlords below.
Sun Kaiqin came to beg for help every day, checking everyone around Duan Qirui.
At first, Duan Qirui had the patience to deal with him, but later he became impatient and simply avoided seeing him, scolding him in his heart.
If he hadn't been such a waste, the Anhui Clan wouldn't have been defeated so miserably.
Chen Zikun didn't care about this mess in Beijing.
He took his two wives to celebrate Christmas in Shanghai.
As for the invitation messages from Sun Wen and Feng Yuxiang, he was not as excited as the outside world thought.

What were they thinking?
What, he knew very well, it was just to use his own military power.
He called back and said that the anti-smoking affairs were complicated recently, and he would be ordered to go to Beijing when he was done with this.
Of course, it was just an excuse.
Who the hell knows if I will be detained after entering Beijing, Chen Zikun thought.
On the last day of 1924, Sun Yat-sen arrived in Beijing on the Beijing-Tianjin Railway.
The streets of the capital were empty, and 300,000 people rushed to the station to greet him.
At the same time, most of the Feng army went south to occupy the entire territory of Shandong.
Zhang Zongchang's 30,000 troops arrived in Xuzhou.
Chen Tiaoyuan, the garrison envoy of Xuzhou, had already secretly communicated with Fengjun.
At this time, instead of fighting, he retreated and gave way to the main road.
Qi Xieyuan, the governor of Jiangsu Province, was not very practical in his role.
With Beijing's order to dismiss him, his generals had other ideas.
Not only did Chen Tiaoyuan betray him, but other generals also turned against him.
The troops stationed in Shanghai were frequently mobilized, causing Sun Chuanfang was suspicious and did not exchange fire with the Feng army.
The Soviet army and the Zhejiang army also fought.
On January 2, 1925, the Sixth Division of the Jiangsu Route Army stationed in Shanghai mutinied.
Sun Chuanfang raised troops to attack it.
The Soviet army was defeated and almost scattered.
Zhang Zongchang's troops successfully entered Nanjing, and Lu Yongxiang also returned grandly.
The Xuanfu Army was established in Nanjing, which was powerful and eyeing Shanghai.
In less than two months, the situation has completely turned around.
Qi Xieyuan finally conquered the territory of Shanghai and wanted to get out before his butt was hot.
Lu Yongxiang had just left the field and came back in a blink of an eye.
It really shocked everyone and sighed.
The world is changing too fast.
The Anhui clique made a comeback, and the immediate situation was in decline.
Lu Xiaojia returned to Shanghai.
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 present, but also Zhang Xiaolin, who had disappeared for many days.
Lu Xiaojia sat on the table holding a wine glass and said with great momentum: "I assure you that within a month, Mr.
Chen's anti-smoking law enforcement team will disappear from Shanghai."
Although Huang Huangrong and Lu Xiaojia had had conflicts before, they were as good as a father at this time.
The old gangster said with a smile on his face: "You can rest assured with these words from Marshal Lu.
I'm looking forward to it, I only hope for the army."
Only when we arrive in Shanghai can we clear the clouds and see the sun."
Zhang Xiaolin said: "Master Lu, what are you going to do with Chen Zikun?"
Lu Xiaojia said: "It stands to reason that when a general is defeated and goes into exile, he is usually given a free rein and lets him live in the concession.
I think my father would do the same to Chen Zikun.
Hehe, he entered the concession, but it was you who said so never mind."
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 to shit, wasn't it just because he had soldiers in his hands?
As soon as Marshal Lu's army arrived, Ala's saw how he could still pretend to be powerful.
Waiting for him to fall In the hands of Allah, hum.”
Du Yuesheng held the ivory cigarette holder in his mouth and said nothing.

Lu Xiaojia said: "Beijing has decided that Sun Shishu will be in charge of Jiangdong Province.
My father will be in charge of Jiangsu and Anhui provinces together with Shanghai.
When the time comes, we will open opium houses, casinos and brothels.
Who dares to gossip?
I Send troops to destroy him immediately."
Everyone at the table clapped their hands.
Lu Xiaojia was very proud, stretched out his hand and said, "But I also have a condition.
I want to hold 20% of the shares of Sanxin Company."
There was silence, everyone lowered their heads and smoked, unwilling to continue smoking.
Twenty percent of them smoked, which was too much for their appetites.
But if I don't agree to him, I'm afraid the business will not be able to continue.
These beasts backed by the army have a bigger appetite than the last.
Lu Xiaojia said: "If you don't say anything, I will take it as your acquiescence."
Everyone looked ugly.
Du Yuesheng raised his glass and said, "Let's discuss it later.
Drink, drink."
In mid-January, Qi Xieyuan proclaimed himself Commander-in-Chief of the First Route of the Songhu Allied Forces in Shanghai, and Sun Chuanfang was appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Second Route.
The two armies jointly fought against Feng's army moving south.
Jiangdong Provincial Military Affairs Supervisor Chen Zikun sent a telegram to the whole country, urging a peaceful resolution of the Songhu issue.
Seeing that the war was about to resume again, the concession authorities couldn't bear it.
Marines from various countries landed in Shanghai, and business groups from all countries entered a state of combat readiness.
The gunboats on the Huangpu River even unveiled their gun jackets, and aimed their black muzzles at the Chinese border, posing Intervention by force.
The Republic of China Navy stationed in Wusongkou stayed aloof as usual.
What is surprising is that Chen Zikun's troops stationed in Shanghai also remained neutral.
All soldiers in a regiment put on black police uniforms, and the sign hanging at the entrance of the military camp also changed the words: Songhu anti-smoking law enforcement team.
Others were busy fighting, but Chen Zikun was still busy with the ban on smoking.
The opium-eating businessmen headed by Sanxin Company were miserable.
Du Yuesheng, who couldn't hold on anymore, found Chen Zikun and went to the Wusongkou Anti-Smoking Corps.
Had some discussions with him.
Chen Zikun said: "Boss Du, I must ban opium.
There is no room for negotiation on this."
Du Yuesheng trembled in her heart and said with a smile: "It must be banned, it must be banned, but there are too many smokers, and there must be time for them to give up their addiction, right?"
Chen Zikun said: "What you said makes sense.
I have an immature idea.
Leave the burden of banning smoking to colleagues in the Chamber of Commerce.
You can manage it yourself, which will save our anti-smoking law enforcement team from working so hard."
Du Yuesheng was secretly happy and said: "That's the best.
It's just that the brothers in the law enforcement team have worked hard and made great achievements.
We Shanghai elders always have to show our sincerity."
Chen Zikun said: "Let's do this.
Pay a one-time deposit of 10 million, and I will delegate the right to ban smoking to you."
Du Yuesheng was speechless: "Marshuai Chen, this number is too big, we can't afford it."
Chen Zikun said: "It seems a bit too big, so let's pay it in installments.
Three hundred thousand oceans a month, no less."
Du Yuesheng was secretly happy.

In the past, the money spent on the Songhu Garrison and the Police Department each month amounted to more than 200,000.
This money could not be saved no matter what.
As long as Chen Zikun agreed not to ban smoking, it would be worth spending no matter how much money he spent. of.
Moreover, installment payment is more advantageous.
According to the current situation, Lu Yongxiang will come back soon, and Chen Zikun will naturally leave Shanghai by then, so he won't have to pay this money.
After some haggling, the price of 200,000 yuan per month was finally settled.
As long as this amount was paid, the anti-smoking law enforcement brigade would turn a blind eye and no longer spare no effort to seize opium.
"I only agreed because of Boss Du's face.
If the smoking ban is not effective, don't blame me for being unkind."
Chen Zikun got an advantage and behaved, but Du Yuesheng was still very happy.
After the matter was settled, Sanxin Company could again Money is being made every day, and there is double insurance.
No matter who can occupy Shanghai, Lu Yongxiang or Chen Zikun, they can guarantee the normal operation of the opium business.
"Marshuai Chen, I will send you two hundred thousand yuan another day.
This ring can be used as a deposit.
Please accept it."
Du Yuesheng took off an emerald ring of excellent quality from his hand and placed it gently on the table.
Emeralds are extremely valuable, not comparable to jadeite.
This ring is worth at least one hundred thousand oceans.
Chen Zikun glanced at it and said: "A gentleman will not take away someone's love, so Boss Du should put it away."
If others said this, Du Yuesheng might not be happy.
There is no reason to recycle the gifts given by Boss Du.
But when Chen Zikun spoke like this, he had no temper at all.
He put away the ring and clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Marshal.
Two hundred thousand banknotes were then presented."
Chen Zikun said: "Here, please give Mr.
Du the five hundred kilograms of opium seized recently to take away and destroy."
Du Yuesheng was overjoyed, thanked him profusely, and left with the opium.
The adjutant came to report: "An urgent telegram of 100,000 yuan from the provincial capital."
Chen Zikun received the telegram and looked at it, and was shocked.
It turned out that Fengjun Zhang Zongchang's army had entered Jiangdong Province, and they were trying to compete with him for territory.
"What the fuck, Zhang Xueliang's words don't count," Chen Zikun said angrily.
After pacing back and forth for a few steps, he said, "Pass my order to have the front-line troops retreat ninety miles and not to engage in firefights with Fengjun."
Zhao Yufeng said curiously: "Commander, it's not like we can't defeat the turtle son, why are we retreating?"
Chen Zikun said: "Han Qing is kind to me.
I promised him that if he confronts Fengjun, he will stay away
