The sudden changes in the battlefield in Hunan have caused a major turning point in the situation across the country! op
The surrender of hundreds of thousands of Beiyang troops not only greatly strengthened the strength of the Northern Expeditionary Army, but also dealt the most serious blow to the military strength of the Beiyang government.[]
The war has developed according to the aspects planned by the National Government.
In Hubei, with the end of the Hunan Campaign, Wu Peifu personally commanded his Third Division troops to enter Hubei, which caused great panic to Wang Zhanyuan, the governor of Hubei.
In Shaanxi, after Wang Mingzhang and Bai Chongxi took control of Shaanxi, they began to prepare to use troops in Henan.
Zhao Ti, the governor of Henan, was worried. The Northern Expedition was so powerful that he could no longer withstand it. Especially since even Wu Peifu was defeated by the Northern Expedition in Hunan, there was doubt whether Henan as a province could withstand the Northern Expedition.
From this moment on, Zhao Ti had already made plans to seek peace from the Northern Expedition.
In Zhejiang, after former Fujian Governor Li Houji was defeated and retreated to Zhejiang, he took advantage of the fact that Zhejiang Governor Yang Shande was seriously ill and took advantage of the situation to launch an attack and seize the military and political power in Zhejiang, claiming to be the governor of Zhejiang.
This move made Lu Yongxiang, the commander of the Songhu garrison who had been eyeing the position of the Xijiang governor for a long time, very angry.
From Lu Yongxiang's point of view, this position has long been in his possession. All he has to do is wait for Yang Shande's death before ascending to this throne.
But what I didn't expect was that Li Houji would intervene at this time.
Lu and Wei, who were furious and prepared to use troops against Zhejiang, secretly sent people to contact the Northern Expeditionary Army and agreed to jointly use troops against Zhejiang to force Li Houji to step down.
This is exactly the result Yang Sen hopes to see.
Yang Sen agreed to most of Lu Yongxiang's requests. For example, once Li Houji was forced to resign, Lu Yongxiang would take over as the governor of Zhejiang. And Lu Yongxiang, who received Yang Sen's promise, was naturally very excited.
In his opinion, whether you are working for the Beiyang Government or the National Government, it is actually the same. The main premise is that you must protect your status and protect your own interests!
Others are afraid that everything is fake!
Driven by this mentality, Lu Yongxiang is ready to take action!
On August 30, the day after the Battle of Hunan, Lu Yongxiang, the envoy of the Songhu garrison, sent a telegram to the whole country, saying that he would be loyal to the National Government from that day forward and was willing to do his best for the National Government until death.
During the call, he also severely accused Li Houji, the governor of Fujian, for taking advantage of Yang Shande's serious illness to seize the land of Zhejiang and calling the "Governor Yue Zhejiang" a national traitor. Now he is willing to brave the dangers to attack Li Houji and so on.
Just when Lu Yongxiang was actively preparing to use troops against Zhejiang, his son Lu Xiaojia had something happen to him in Shanghai that Lu Yongxiang thought was not a big deal. However, Lu Yongxiang at the time did not expect that it was exactly the size of sesame seeds and mung beans in his eyes.
A little thing changed the fate of his life. This started to happen to Lu Lanchun, a female Peking opera actor from Jin Rongpeng.
This Lu Lanchun was originally one of Huang Huangrong's apprentices, the adopted daughter of a translator named Master Zhang.
Master Zhang wanted his daughter to find a place backstage so that she would not be bullied in the theater, so he brought her to worship Huang Jinrong.
Lu Lanchun had not been to the Huang Mansion for a few years, but Huang Jinrong was shocked when she came: What a peerless beauty! Two thin and curved eyebrows, a pair of beautiful eyes that look forward to shining, her face is like a peach huā, and her spring is like a spring.
She has a slender figure and light steps: she wears a pink cheongsam with black edges, wrapping her newly grown girl's body, outlining her charming curves and graceful manners, her clothes are gorgeous, and her elegance reveals romance.
The tingling is full of jiāonèn, just like a peony with lupus and lotus flowers flowing out of it.
Lu Lanchun followed Master Zhang to Huang Huangrong and called out sweetly: "Hello, father-in-law! Lan Chun would like to send you my greetings!" His authentic Beijing accent was stunning.
At this time, Huang Huangrong's eyes were so straight that he didn't think about answering. After a long time, he turned to Master Zhang and said: "Master Zhang, I really have you! You can make my daughter look so beautiful!"
Huang Jinrong couldn't let go after seeing this beauty.
The proprietress Lin Guisheng was not very young when she married Huang Huangrong, but she was thoughtful and experienced in making suggestions for Huang Huangrong. She made great contributions and played an important role in the Huang Mansion. She has always been a housekeeper in charge!
However, Huang Huangrong had been controlled by Lin Guisheng for too long. At this time, Lin Guisheng was already old. In addition, Huang Huangrong had become dominant and had no intention of making progress. Lin Guisheng had no use for her anymore, so he was happy to kick her away.
He was free to have fun. Huang Huangrong had Lu Lanchun in his heart, and he thought about how to please her all day long to win the beauty's heart.
Another apprentice of Huang Huangrong, Ma Xiangsheng, was resourceful and good at adapting to the situation. He saw what Boss Huang was thinking. One day, he offered advice to Huang Huangrong: "Master, our nine acres of land is a good place, Master."
Why not use it?"
"Aren't there our shops around there? What else is there for?"
"Master, you didn't expect that it turned out to be an old and dilapidated stage. If it was demolished and replaced with a new big stage, the business would definitely be good with the bustling and popular street."
"What's the benefit of building a stage? It's a waste of money and effort, it's meaningless!" Huang Huangrong didn't realize what Ma Xiangsheng meant, and said impatiently: "I don't see the need anymore."
"Master, there is currently no good place for Miss Lu to go on stage. She is setting up a temporary troupe outside, which is far away from our home and inconvenient. Wouldn't it be more suitable for her to come to our stage to sing?
These last few words made Huang Jinrong smile.
Although he suffered extremely heavy losses in the previous "Shanghai Gold Scam", he could not stop his lust, and after some planning... After that, Huang Huangrong gritted his teeth and took a sum of money, and specially built it on the "nine acres of land" at the border of China and France.
A common stage was built.
At this time, it was not very common for men and women to perform together on stage in dramas. The name "shared stage" means a theater where men and women "share" performances.
Under Huang Jinrong's constant urging, several teams worked overtime day and night. Soon, the common stage was built. Boss Huang began to show great courtesy to Lu Lanchun. He asked Lu Lanchun to appear on the common stage.
Lu Lanchun came on stage to sing, Huang Huangrong personally went to the theater to hold the stage for her, and led a group of people to cheer for her.
Lu Lanchun had superb academic skills, was unique in singing, reading, and playing. She was also beautiful and elegant in appearance. She immediately became famous overnight, and her reputation spread throughout the French Concession and even Shanghai.
From then on, the stage was full and business was booming. People rushed to see Lu Lanchun. Huang Huangrong was even more proud. He sent people to major newspapers to ask them to praise Lu Lanchun.
Under the care of Boss Huang, advertisements for Lu Lanchun's plays were placed in the most eye-catching position in every issue of the newspaper: "Lu Lanchun", each of which is as big as a duck egg.
Become a first-rate star and your worth will double.
At the same time, Huang Huangrong showed great attentiveness to her. When Lu Lanchun went to the theater, Huang Huangrong sent a car and bodyguards to pick her up and escort her away. Lu Lanchun rested, and Huang Huangrong built a lounge for her next to the stage. A small private courtyard was decorated for her.
It's like a palace.
Lu Lanchun was helpless at this time. Most popular actresses cannot escape the fate of being played by others, let alone Lu Lanchun who was single-handedly promoted by Huang Huangrong? And Huang Huangrong is the famous leader of the party. Lu Lan
Chun half-heartedly decided to become boss Huang Huangrong's outer room.
Lin Guisheng was also unhappy at this time. Despite her majesty and resourcefulness, Huang Huangrong fell in love with Lu Lanchun, but she had no choice but to swallow the bitterness silently.
Huang Huangrong has a romantic beauty like Lu Lanchun, and his wife has nothing to do with him. It is the time when the spring breeze is proud, and he accompanies the beauty day and night. He is a beauty in front of him and a beauty behind him. It seems that Lu Lanchun is his sweetheart, and without her
, he Huang Jinrong can't live anymore...
However, within a few days, he did not expect that Cheng Yaojin would appear on the way, causing a love affair in Shanghai.
o.
The person is Lu Xiaojia, the son of Lu Yongxiang, the envoy to the Songhu garrison.
Mr. Lu is young and energetic, suave and charming, and he is also a handsome young man. He is dressed in a white silk shirt and leads two followers to go to wine bars, theaters, dance halls and other entertainment venues all day long.
Lu Xiaojia has a wide circle of friends. He has lived in Shanghai for a long time and knows the local famous actors very well. When Lu Lan Chun became famous, various newspapers reported on it, which naturally attracted a lot of bees and butterflies. Lu Xiaojia is one of them. Lu Xiaojia loves to listen to operas most.
As soon as I heard that the newspaper was praising Lan Chun, I immediately made a special trip to the Lao Communist Party stage.
The drunkard's intention was not to drink. This young man came to the theater to watch people. Lu Xiaojia went to the stage to watch the opera several times and fell in love with Lu Lanchun. Although Lu Lanchun sang a raw role,
He has a charming style and a charming softness in every song he sings. Lu Xiaojia listened to Lu Lanchun's play for the first time. As soon as Lu Lanchun appeared on the stage, Lu Xiaojia was blown away with a flying eye. From then on, Mr. Lu has been following Lu Lanchun.
Lu Lanchun was so tight that she went up and down the stage to send flowers and go on dates, launching a fierce offensive!
On this morning, after Lu Xiaojia got up and washed up, she ordered the servant to bring breakfast. The person serving Lu Xiaojia's breakfast was a young man in his 20s named Awang. He was shrewd and smart, and he was best at guessing his master's thoughts.
It was placed on Lu Xiaojia's desk early, and a newspaper like the "Morning News" was deliberately pressed underneath, which specializes in reporting on the anecdotes of the upper class and the entertainment industry for the entertainment of some people in the leisure class.
Lu Xiaojia picked up the fruit Lu first, and at the same time glanced at the newspaper underneath. The newspaper happened to be folded on the upper page, and there was a report about Lu Lanchun starring in "Luo Ma Lake". The goose egg-sized "lu Lan"
The word "spring" suddenly came into his eyes, and a lot of affection arose in his heart. He couldn't help but raise his eyes and glance at Ah Biao and Ah Wang, standing with hands down, and smiled knowingly: "Young Master, is there Miss Lu Lanchun here today?"
What a show!" "Lu Lanchun, Lu Lanchun, don't you know how to come up with ideas?" Lu Bijia pondered for a moment, murmured, and then asked: "Awang, you always have many bad ideas, tell me.
,How can I win Miss Lu’s heart?”
"Master, please forgive me for talking too much," Awang said while secretly looking at Lu Xiaojia's face. "What woman doesn't love gold, silver and jewelry? What's more, if a opera actor like her is given more small favors, she will definitely be tempted."
but……"
Awang deliberately put it off and stopped talking.
"But what?" Lu Xiaojia turned around and stared at Awang, "What's the point of hesitating?"
"Master, this Miss Lu Lanchun is Boss Huang's favorite!"
So, Ah Wang told the story of Lu Lanchun's life experience, her relationship with the Huang Mansion, and how Huang Huangrong fell in love with Lu Lanchun, wanted to please the beauty, and promoted her, etc.!!.
