Chapter 121 Imperialist Diplomacy (3)

Before Juerdian left, he went to the General Office of Zhen'an to say goodbye. He Rui and Juerdian had a cordial conversation like an old friend. He Rui gave two old ginseng as a gift for the farewell. Juerdian was the British ambassador to North Korea and is now the British ambassador to China. Naturally, he knew very well that this gift was kindness in East Asia.

Although Zhao Tianlin is the director of education, he is currently acting as a diplomatic job and will soon send Juerdian to the train station.

Seeing Juerdian and He Rui standing together, I felt a feeling of looking at oil paintings. Juerdian's old man almost lost his hair, with two eye-catching beards on the upper European floor, and wearing a Victorian-style suit. It was gorgeous, but it revealed a breath that was brought by him.

He Rui was wearing a simple military uniform, his beard was clean and his refreshing appearance was full of vitality. The two of them were together, as if they were a collision between two eras, and as if they were the junction of two eras.

"Let me ask Director Zhao to send the Minister to the train station. As for the establishment of a consulate in Fengtian, Director Zhao will be responsible for it." He Rui said before leaving.

Zhu Erdian didn't care that Zhao Tianlin was the director of education or the head of diplomacy. He Rui was the highest chief executive of Northeast China, but he was not the king of the local kingdom and had no power to establish diplomatic institutions.

After leaving He Rui's office, Zhu Erdian felt a little emotional along the way. Zhao Tianlin, who was in the same car, studied international law and was also a difficult opponent.

When they parted, Zhu Erdian instructed the secretary to cooperate with Zhao Tianlin to handle the consulate’s affairs as soon as possible.

In the early morning, in the high-end residential area of ​​Tianjin, the newspaper boys delivered newspapers to each other door to door. Zhang Xiluan's servants had been waiting for a long time. As soon as the newspaper boy arrived at the door, he opened the door and picked up a stack of newspapers.

He pulled out the Northeast Daily and put it on the top. The servant sent a stack of newspapers to Zhang Xiluan's study. Not long after, Zhang Xiluan walked into the study in casual clothes, picked up the Northeast Daily and started reading it.

In the morning, Zhang Xiluan took the car that He Rui sent him to a teahouse. The teahouse was built in a very ancient style, with courtyards, pools, flower beds, plum blossoms, and the hall led Zhang Xiluan into a yard dedicated to entertaining him, and saw that several people were already sitting inside.

Zhao Erxun, Wang Shizhen, Wang Zhanyuan, and the Jilin Governor Meng Enyuan who was actually exiled by He Rui. They are all figures from Beiyang, and there are even Beiyang dragons among the three Beiyang masters like Wang Shizhen.

Zhao Erxun was a family of officials, a famous official in the late Qing Dynasty, and a Jinshi during the Daoguang period. Seeing Zhang Xiluan come in, he smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, Duan Zhiquan rarely complains about others, but he can't help but complain about Brother Zhang's vision of knowing people."

Zhang Xiluan did not answer, and glanced at the table and saw several newspapers on it, one of which was the Northeast Daily that he had read in the morning.

Since everyone knows the same thing, Zhang Xiluan found Zhang Kong's chair and sat down, holding the crutch in his hand and smiled: "Speaking of this, He Rui was still outside the pass sent by Duan Zhiquan, what's there to complain about?"

Although Meng Enyuan left Fengtian safely with the property he had accumulated when he was the governor, if He Rui was defeated by the great powers, Meng Enyuan would naturally be happy. At this time, he also said with interest: "Duke Zhang, I heard that the British and French ministers have publicly said that they will never accept He Rui's misconduct. He regained the Central East Road and provoked foreigners. I am worried for He Rui."

Zhang Xiluan didn't want to pay attention to Meng Enyuan, but it was not appropriate to not give Meng Enyuan face at this time. She could only say: "Brother He Rui is cautious in life, and he is famous this time. The Northeast Daily said clearly that since Russia wants to betray the Allied Power, the Republic of China is naturally not justified to sit idly by as a member of the Allied Power."

Zhao Erxun chuckled, "Haha, Mr. Zhang is too protective of his shortcomings. I think He Rui did this, I am afraid he will not be accepted by foreigners. What do you think of Brother Wang?"

Wang Shizhen didn't want to get involved in such a discussion, but since Zhao Erxun had to pull him in, Wang Shizhen shook his head slightly, "What I care about is that He Rui said in the newspaper that he sent twelve divisions to complete the battle to recover Zhongdong Road. Brother Zhang, how much family business did you leave for He Rui?"

Of course, Zhang Xiluan knew what he left to He Rui. Apart from the empty warehouse, there was an empty arsenal. If there was anything valuable, it would probably be the seal of the General Zhen's Announcement.

However, with He Rui's shrewdness and competencies, there are 5,000 people in one division and 60,000 people in twelve divisions. It is not impossible if two soldiers and one gun, one gun.

But the total number of Russians on the Middle East Road must be about 20,000, and the Northeast Daily said clearly that twelve divisions and 120,000 people will be completely solved within two days. This number is reasonable.

Seeing that Zhang Xiluan was silent, Wang Shizhen said to Zhao Erxun: "Brother Zhao, He Rui has made great achievements in diplomacy. I don't think this matter will be as thought by those in the capital."

When Zhao Erxun heard Wang Shizhen's words, he didn't know how to answer. He personally had no good feelings or bad feelings. However, in the past few decades, besides the Zhennan Pass victory, this was one of China's few foreign victory. Zhao Erxun also felt a little moved.

And in terms of scale and results, He Rui's victory this time is more preferable than Feng Zicai's Zhennanguan victory. Finally, Zhao Erxun sighed, "Oh. Duan Zhiquan doesn't want to cause trouble now, but young students from Beijing and Tianjin heard about the recovery of Zhongdong Road and took to the streets to celebrate for several days. Some people want to march at the gate of the State Council to recover Shandong. This may not be a good thing."

Among the people here, except Meng Enyuan, they are all big names who have been ups and downs for decades. They know what Zhao Erxun is talking about. The young man ignored the result and saw that He Rui could recover Zhongdong Road from the Russians and take back all the concessions outside the Russians. His blood was pouring out and he ignored nothing.

How could these stupid students know that even if things start well, they may not have good results.

The old men were thinking about their own thoughts when they heard shouts from afar outside the wall.

"Recover the Concession!" "Restore Shandong!" "Driving away the Japanese invaders!"
