Chapter 329 Meeting (9)
Zhao Tianlin was the former president of the National Beiyang University Church. When he arrived in the capital, he was greeted by Huang Hui, the president of Beiyang Education. Huang Hui studied in Japan in his early years, and successively entered the Tokyo Zhenwu School and the terrain department of the 6th Army Survey Bureau of Japan. Later, he joined the Tongmenghui and returned to China in 1910.

After the Xinhai Revolution, Huang Fu was different from Zhao Tianlin and turned to the revolutionary party. After the failure of the revolution, he was wanted by Yuan Shikai and fled to the United States. He waited for Yuan Shikai to become emperor in 1915 before returning to China. He had a lot of relationships with people from Beiyang and was later appointed by Xu Shichang.
When he saw Zhao Tianlin, Huang Fu couldn't help but stare at the already famous doctor of law for a moment. Zhao Tianlin and Huang Fu went abroad to study at about the same time. Now Zhao Tianlin is an important education and diplomatic figure in the Northeast government. Among the Beiyang people, Zhao Tianlin's fame and status are not comparable to Beiyang civil officials.
Seeing that Zhao Tianlin was elegant and calm, his attitude was calm, and his scholarly spirit and his experience in high positions, few Beiyang people could compare with him. He couldn't help but feel a little envious and sighed: "Brother Zhao is very excited about this trip. The car is ready, please follow me."
When Zhao Tianlin saw that Huang Hui was also a famous talent, he did not have the calmness he had learned from the long-term experience of the directors of various departments of the Northeast Government. He gave people the feeling that he was quite weak. He replied: "I'm sorry, General Huang."
1 On the way, Zhao Tianlin was thinking about how to communicate with Xu Shichang and Duan Qirui. Huang Fu saw that Zhao Tianlin was calm and could not speak. He felt even more inferior.
When he arrived at the Presidential Palace of Tieshizi Hutong, an officer was already greeted by him. Zhao Tianlin entered the Presidential Palace. Huang Yun did not even have the chance to be a good person, which made Huang Yun feel really regretful. Although Zhao Tianlin was only an official in the Fengtian clan and his official level was still below Huang Yun, his true identity and status were completely in mind. Huang Yun felt discouraged and had been determined for a few days.
In the Presidential Palace, Xu Shichang welcomed Zhao Tianlin. The two talked about the old Beiyang people they knew together and found that those people were doing very well now. While Xu Shichang was just sighing, Duan Qirui arrived. After the greetings, he sat back. Zhao Tianlin looked at the guards next to him, and Duan Qirui asked the guards to retreat for the time being.
Zhao Tianlin then informed Xu Shichang and Duan Qirui of He Rui's arrangement. The guards were actually guarding the door. Through the window glass, they could see what the three people in the room were saying. Xu Shichang's expression became more and more serious. Duan Qirui even stood up and walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back. When Duan Qirui sat down, he vaguely heard Duan Qirui shouting angrily: "Brother He is actually going to put the country into war. Don't he care about the devastation of life!"
Xu Shichang was still silent, and he only saw what he was saying. After Xu Shichang finished speaking, Zhao Tianlin said something to Duan Qirui. After that, Duan Qirui stood up and continued walking back and forth with his hands behind his back.
The guards did not dare to look at each other, and they returned to their posture of standing attentively outside the door.
At this time, Duan Qirui in the room was angry and anxious. He was indeed shocked by He Rui's action plan. Originally, Duan Qirui thought that He Rui would calm down after he fought against Japan. Unexpectedly, He Rui would continue to challenge the great powers. It was not a great power, but to kill the foreign garrison in Tanggu. Those were the garrisons sent by many great powers according to the Gengzi clause. He Rui was going to offend all the great powers in one time.
When questioning Zhao Tianlin, Zhao Tianlin actually answered in his always gentle and elegant voice: "According to statistics in recent years, every winter, there are 2,000 people who are frozen to death in Shanghai every day, and the major cities of Jiangsu and Zhejiang are not much better. Beijing and Tianjin have been a little better in the past two years, and it is also because of the severe drought in 1920. Nearly tens of millions of disaster victims in the north fled to the northeast, and the number of poor people in the north has dropped drastically. This has resulted in a lot of deaths. With the current situation in China, aren't the people suffering from life every day?"
Even Duan Qirui was really unhappy when asked such a question. Moreover, Zhao's were all true, especially in the north, because the poor people have gone to the Northeast to survive in the past two years. Without those poor, it seems that life in the countryside is a little better. Duan Qirui originally thought that he had good governance, but after Zhao Tianlin said this, he suddenly realized that things were not as Duan Qirui thought, which made Duan Qirui even more unable to bear his face.
Xu Shichang didn't think so much. When things got to this point, Xu Shichang could no longer control him. He simply asked, "Director Zhao, Brother He sent you here, what are your plans?"
Zhao Tianlin informed Xu Shichang of the Beiyang part of He Rui's plan. Xu Shichang was not surprised at this time, but just asked: "Director Zhao, Brother He really wants to do this?"
Zhao Tianlin's tone was still gentle, "President. This battle is for the country. No matter how dangerous it is, it must be fought. What are the great powers garrisoning troops in Tanggu? Isn't it just to threaten the capital and overthrow the government at all times? How can others sleep on their bedsides? The foreign garrisoning troops in Tanggu must be annihilated. Annihilation of these foreign garrisons will inevitably lead to conflicts with the great powers. Chairman He just refused to hide his ears and steal the bell."
Xu Shichang no longer doubted that He Rui's true intention was to revitalize China. In recent years, the domestic hope of abolishing the concession and restoring sovereignty has become increasingly louder. After He Rui's attack on Japan, although a large number of radical young people went to the Northeast to join He Rui, making the inner world a little quieter. However, this public opinion has been achieved, and Xu Shichang is very clear.
As long as he opposes foreigners' arrogance in China, he believes that He Rui has the ability to change this situation. Even if He Rui is for his own image, he cannot violate this public opinion.
Finally, Xu Shichang said: "Then Brother He thought that I could use it for the old guy, so he sent Director Zhao to pass the message."
Zhao Tianlin smiled slightly, "Chairman He knew that the two were patriotic, so he sent me to invite them to participate in this cause."
