Chapter 49 Jagged Tenderness (24)

Regarding his question, Jian Ming did not answer, but his eyes showed affirmation. Li Jincheng's brows and eyes were curved, and the gloom in his body seemed to dissipate unconsciously, and he was a little more angry than usual.

"Ding! The favorability of the target villain is increased by 5 points, and the current favorability is 90."

Jian Ming was slightly taken aback, then smiled, the two looked at each other, the tacit understanding in their eyes was formed in the past few years.

On November 1918, 11, the end of the First World War, Duan Wenyan, President of the Chinese government, announced the victory of the Allies to the diplomatic corps.

On January 1919, 1, the Paris Peace Conference opened. The leaders of Britain, the United States, and France manipulated the peace conference, rejected China's justice demands, and transferred Germany's rights and interests in Qilu to Dongying. The whole country was in an uproar.

On March 1919, 3, due to conflicting political opinions and interests, the originally shaky North-South cooperation announced the breakdown.

On May 1919, 5, when the May 4th Movement broke out, Peking students took the lead in holding patriotic demonstrations.

Since then, all walks of life in Huahai have supported the just actions of Peking students, and the governments of the North and the South have been in a state of distress.Duan Wenyan, the president of the North China government, immediately telegraphed the whole country, announcing his refusal to sign at the Paris Peace Conference and expressing his apology.Because the president's external image has always been popular with the people, and he adopted non-repressive and soft methods, the restless people gradually settled down.

The situation has changed in just a few years, and time has entered 1920. The governments of the North and the South are at odds with each other, and the hidden contradictions are so dirty that they can hardly maintain the appearance.The president of the North China government is young and strong, with a gentle but tough hand, and an excellent development trend.On the contrary, in the South China government, President Li Da is getting older and stronger, but his actions are not as strong as before. His only son Li Jincheng is sick and weak, and South China will soon face no successor.Who is stronger and weaker on both sides can be known at a glance.

Until mid-July, Duan Wenyan finally couldn't hold back his ambition, and under the banner of national unity, he declared war on the South China government, and the Civil War broke out.

The sound of gunfire is everywhere, stepping into Jinling at the end of July, with continuous drizzle, it is still peaceful and peaceful, like a woman in the south of the Yangtze River like water.The flames of war have not yet come to an end, the people are anxious but also mixed with luck, and in the small conference room of the Dinghua Building of the Presidential Palace, an invisible gunpowder is going on at this time.

"...Internal and external troubles continue, and now the north and the south are fighting again. I am in a disadvantageous situation in South China. It is Li's fault. The war is not extinguished, the people's hearts are uncertain, and China is not peaceful. Li has the support of everyone present and sits as the president. In recent years, I have been quite ashamed." Speaking of this, President Li Da stood up and bowed deeply to the people present.

"Master, no!"

"Master, I'm serious..."

"Master..."

……

The dissuasion suddenly sounded, President Li raised his hand to signal, and when the venue was quiet again, he sighed and continued: "To speak frustratingly, the current situation is clear at a glance. At that time, there must be someone to explain to the public. Li is not talented. I am willing to take responsibility for this. Although South China is defeated, it is not permanently defeated. What it needs is an heir who can shoulder it. You are also Li's cronies and veterans who have followed for many years. This meeting is to hope that everyone will have a decision."

"Big guy!"

As soon as the words were finished, except for Li Jincheng who was in the tail seat, the rest of the elders stood up in astonishment, and looked at Li Zhen in disbelief.

"Marshal, the ending is not yet decided, why should Marshal be like this!" The scene was silent for a long time, and Hu Zhantang, who has always been the closest to Li Zhen, broke the silence first, with a sad tone.

"Marshal, South China cannot live without you!"

"Marshal, you are just a little bastard who talks nonsense, why do you surrender without fighting?"

……

The conference room became noisy, and many elders had red eyes. The brotherhood of fighting together for so many years, although it has faded in the power, it is true and hidden in the bottom of my heart for a lifetime.Li Zhen couldn't help sighing, he understood the feelings of these old brothers, but after so many years of ups and downs, he is also tired, the eldest son can't survive a few years, and it's time for him to enjoy the last family happiness.In this country, talented people come forth in large numbers, one more than him is not many, and one less than him is not a lot. He is not a person obsessed with power. Taking advantage of this opportunity to get out in time, it is better to leave regrets in the future.

Li Zhen's silence made the meeting room quiet again. He looked at the helpless old brothers, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but slightly twitched: "Li has made up his mind, so you don't need to say anything. I started looking for candidates a few days ago. , I personally think that Commander Tang Jirong, the governor of Yunnan and Yunnan, meets the requirements. Next, I invite you to discuss, and you can also propose a suitable candidate."

After saying this, Li Zhen leaned back on the chair and squinted his eyes for a nap, allowing the people present to discuss enthusiastically.

Many veterans proposed their own excellent young and strong officers, but they were rejected by their opponents one by one. At the end of the discussion, everyone found helplessly that the Tang Jirong mentioned by Li Zhen was indeed the most suitable candidate.Therefore, this matter was decided under the decision of the powerful figures in the South China government.

It was Haishi when the meeting ended, and when Li Jincheng returned to the bedroom, Jian Ming hadn't fallen asleep yet, and she felt relieved when she saw that the other party didn't have any bad emotions.In the plot, after Li Zhen abdicated, it was natural for Li Jincheng to succeed him, but now, under the unknowing guidance, after the father and son discussed it, it became the current decision.

At the end of July, after half a month of civil war, Li Zhen, the president of the South China government, announced his abdication and dismissed all his posts. At the same time, he sent a telegram to congratulate the unification of China.After the remaining veterans promoted Tang Jirong as the leader, the remaining troops in South China retreated into the southwest region to recuperate.

Since then, China has entered a nominal period of unification, but hidden under the mask of harmony is an increasingly rampant warlord separatism, and foreign powers are eyeing each other.A new round of challenges is approaching. The spark of Marxism-Leninism in China is about to start a prairie fire, and the land of China will make waves again. The President of China, Duan Wenyan, is already full of confidence.

After the Li family's father and son resigned from their positions, they had nothing to do, and they were used to living in Jinling, so they didn't want to move.After moving out of the presidential palace, he bought a villa in the outskirts of the country and moved in with the rest of the guards who belonged exclusively to the Li family.

Green mountains and green waters, green grass, and under the century-old banyan tree in the yard, Li Zhen was wearing a gray silk shirt, lying on a rocking chair, humming Peking Opera with his eyes closed, looking relaxed.The sound of hasty footsteps approaching from far away, he didn't open his eyes, only when he heard the footsteps stopped, he asked lazily, "What's the matter with that boy Tang Jirong?"

"Master, it's not a telegram from Marshal Tang, but a greeting card from Mrs. President Duan." The guard said blankly, and handed over the greeting card with gold letters on a black background.

Li Zhen slowly opened his eyes, grabbed it, and then opened it violently. After looking at ten lines at a glance, he threw it back to the guard, and said disdainfully, "It's her..."

 The world is coming to an end...
