Chapter 79 Uninvited Guest

Beijing, Fuxue Hutong, Duan Qirui Mansion.

"Youzheng, do you say Chang Ruiqing wants to send his parents to Beijing to live? Then he really has no intention."

Duan Qirui had just had dinner with Wang Shizhen, and the two of them drank and talked happily on the table and formed an alliance. The political structure of the Beiyang government in the future will be the joint rule of the three Beiyang heroes, Feng Guozhang will be the president, Duan Qirui will be the prime minister, and Wang Shizhen will be the chief of the army. In addition, Wang Shizhen has also agreed to support Duan Qirui's proposal to dissolve the parliament and abolish the Provisional Constitution, and prepare to pass an election manipulated by the Beiyang government to completely control the legislative power! Therefore, Duan Qirui is in a very good mood now. When he heard that Chang Ruiqing was going to send his parents to Beijing, he had a little smile on his face.

Xu Shuzheng frowned: "Abnormality is a monster. Chang Ruiqing wanted to go to Fujian and Guangdong to develop, but sent his parents to Beijing... This is to resolve doubts! But why did he resolve doubts?"

Duan Qirui smiled and said, "This person is in your Xu Youzheng's trap. Why do you suddenly suspect him? Haven't you always said that you don't need to be suspicious of someone, but you don't doubt someone? I think this person has ambitions, but he is not very capable, so he can still use it."

Xu Shuzheng took a deep breath: "Old Zhi, I'm still worried that he will collude with the Red Brigade!"

"Oh? Are you worried about this?" Duan Qirui looked at Xu Shuzheng: "Then do you have any evidence?"

Xu Shuzheng shook his head slowly: "No, it's just a feeling. Maybe I'm too concerned. It depends on his performance when he went to Shandong this time. If he can bring gold back, then he will be loyal to Beiyang and us. It will still be of great use in the future! If he can't bring gold back..."

"Then he won't come back!" Duan Qirui said in a deep voice: "If he really colluded with the Red Brigade, the gold would be at least half of him, 120,000 taels, and almost 10 million silver dollars, which would be enough to expand the two divisions! What would you do with him then?"

Xu Shuzheng was stunned when he heard this, thought for a while, and shook his head slowly: "I don't know... To be honest, if the Red Brigade was really made by him, the purpose was just to knock a large sum of money from the small court, and we don't have to worry about it... But I have read a lot of articles introducing European Redism from the newspapers these days, and I always think that Redism is a big trouble! It is best to be eliminated as soon as possible in the bud!"

February 1, 1917, Tianjin.

After Chang Ruiqing arranged the daily affairs of the 31st Brigade (actually only one regiment), he took Tang Jiu, Yu Liu and several guards away from Beijing, preparing to go south to Xuzhou to take his parents to Beijing.........be hostage! Well, he is really an unfilial son! Of course, it is not popular in Beiyang warlords to kill other people's parents. Even if Chang Ruiqing raises the flag and rebels, Chang Laohu, Chang Wangshi and his mother Yang Xier will not be in any danger.

Tianjin was Chang Ruiqing's first stop after leaving Beijing. He came to Tianjin to meet a few people. The first one was naturally the school beauties-level loli Wang Ruonan, who was the fiancée of Chang Da warlords, but Chang Ruiqing wanted to find an opportunity to remove the word "unmarried". The second one to meet was Wang Ruonan's Nankai alumnus Zhou El, Zhou Dashen. Zhou Dashen is about to graduate from Nankai in a few months. Chang Ruiqing wanted to ask him if he had any idea where to study? If he wanted to go to a Japanese non-commissioned officer, he would make arrangements while he could speak in Xu Shuzheng's place. Finally, there were two Peking University professors who took refuge in Tianjin, namely Chen Duxiu, and Li Dazhao, who also wanted to meet! Of course, it was not in the name of Chang Ruiqing, but in the name of Zuo Min, comrade No. 1 of the Red Brigade, and discuss with them about "socialism with Chinese characteristics" and other things.

However, due to the delay in the train, it was already past six o'clock in the afternoon on February 1st. Nankai Middle School had already finished school, so it was not convenient to meet middle school students like Wang Ruonan and Zhou El. So, Chang Ruiqing opened a room at the Lishunde Hotel. After settling down, he went to the Beiyang University dormitory in Taipei City, Tianjin with Huang Baopei, Tang Jiu and Hu Rolling Kitchen to meet two university professors, Chen Duxiu and Li Dazhao.

As soon as he walked into the small courtyard where Chen Duxiu and Li Dazhao lived, Chang Ruiqing's eyes were attracted by a middle-aged man who looked quite heroic and majestic, about 30 years old, wearing a Chinese cotton robe and a top hat.

The man seemed to be about to leave, and when he saw Chang Ruiqing and Huang Baopei, he started to whip up and opened his mouth and spoke a mandarin that was not easy to understand: "Brother is Jiang Zhiqing from Shanghai. May I ask the two gentlemen are......"

Jiang Zhiqing? Jiang jshi!!! Is it really him?

Chang Ruiqing's mind suddenly buzzed, and it took him a while to react. He looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, which was obviously similar to Jiang JShi in his prime in the old photo!

But the question is how did Jiang JShi come to Tianjin to meet Chen Duxiu and Li Dazhao? Chang Ruiqing desperately recalled the records of Jiang JShi's activities in 1917 in his mind. He could never remember any words about him who came to Tianjin to meet Chen Duxiu and Li Dazhao... Perhaps such an incident had never happened in history?

"What is Mr. Jiang's name?" Chang Ruiqing did not introduce himself, but asked about the size of Jiang Zhiqing in front of him. Jiang Zhiqing smiled, and a pair of hawk-eyed eyes looked at the majestic Chang Ruiqing: "Brother's name is Jieshi."

It's really Jiang jshi! It's impossible to be wrong. It's now 1917. Jiang jshi is not a great person. No one is full and pretends to be him. Chang Ruiqing took a deep breath, changed into a strange smile, and also called Jiang jshi: "Brother's surname is Chang, he is a name Xing, Shang Kai Xia Shen, he is a student of Peking University." As he said that, he pointed to Huang Baopei beside him: "He is Huang Baopei, whose name is Zhisheng, and he is my classmate."

At this time, Chen Duxiu and Li Dazhao had heard the movement in the yard and walked out of the house. Seeing Chang Ruiqing beside Huang Baopei, she was about to ask a question, but Huang Baopei said first: "Mr. Chen, Mr. Li, look, Chang Kaishen has also come from Beijing. Now the market in Beijing has stabilized. As soon as the winter vacation is over, Peking University can start classes on time."

Chang Ruiqing also took a step forward and bowed to the two major professors seriously: "Hello, Mr. Chen, Mr. Li."

Both university professors were stunned and tried to search in their minds. They didn't remember that there was such a big student at Peking University. In the end, Chen Duxiu reacted quickly. He nodded and smiled, "Kaishen, right? Come in and sit in, come in and sit..." At this time, he remembered Jiang JShi who came to visit, and pointed to Jiang JShi and said, "This is Mr. Jiang Zhiqing from Shanghai. Because he read the article we wrote about introducing socialist theory in "New Youth", he was very interested, so he came here." As he said that, he paused slightly, glanced at Chang Ruiqing meaningfully, and said to Jiang JShi: "Mr. Jiang, this student Chang Kaishen is very knowledgeable about socialist theory. You might as well stay and listen to what he said."

After hearing this, Chang Ruiqing was immediately shocked and was fragile. The Jiang JS, the number one reactionary faction, was actually interested in socialist theory! Oh no, Jiang JShi was indeed very interested in Marxism in history! It is very likely that the Soviet Union had embarked on the counter-revolutionary path after seeing their ambitions for China's northwest territory!

But now the October Revolution has not begun, and the Soviet Union's ambitions have naturally not been exposed. Jiang jshi is... Could it be his own butterfly effect? ​​Well, Jiang jshi will not become one of the founding representatives of the First National Congress in the future!
