Respectfully

On February [-], Guanbei Film Company's first film "Immigration" premiered.

Li Jinyan and the second wife were sitting on the second floor, looking at the crowd downstairs, the second lady said, "Yan'er, do you think someone will recognize Zhi'er?"

"Mother, don't worry."

The lights in the venue dimmed, and before the movie started, Li Jinyan turned his head to the second lady and said, "Everything is up to me."

It is not easy for Zhi'er to take this step, Li Jinyan will protect her both in public and in private.He wouldn't say with certainty that no one knew about Zhi'er's past, but he was sure that with his current ability and wrist, it was more than enough to protect her.

He wakes up in this world, the second wife and Zhi'er are his family, no one can hurt his family.

Neither can anyone!

The large screen lit up, and to Li Jinyan's surprise, the movie actually had sound!

Although the effect is not very good, the sound is a bit distorted, but with the lines on the screen, it is much better than a movie with only music and pictures.

The second lady was also very surprised, she had the same reaction as everyone else, subconsciously went to find the person who dubbed the film, but unfortunately she didn't even see a person.Is it possible to hide behind the curtain?

"Mom, don't look for it anymore, this is a movie with sound, no one dubbed it live."

Li Jinyan remembered that he once asked intelligence personnel in the United States to purchase patents for sound films, but he did not expect that they would actually do it.It seems that sound films were indeed invented at the beginning of the twentieth century, but it will take at least ten to twenty years to replace silent films.

"Movie with sound?"

"kindness."

Li Jinyan nodded, music sounded in the video, and the mother and son stopped talking.

This is a movie about the life of an ordinary peasant family in China.

The opening scene of the movie is the scene of a good harvest. The people sweating in the fields, the dogs on the edge of the fields, the sparrows in the sky, the meals delivered to the fields, and the children picking up wheat grains with baskets all make the people watching the movie smile knowingly. .Zhi'er plays the role of a farm girl, following her parents to farm, taking care of her younger siblings, with a big black braid hanging behind her, unpretentious, with a smile on her face full of endless hope for the future.

Suddenly the scene changes, the farmland is gone, and the scene of a good harvest is gone. Zhi'er, his parents, younger siblings are supporting each other and walking on the road to escape from famine.

After being stunned, the people watching realized that the previous scene was just the girl's memory, or it was a fantasy and expectation.

Natural disasters and man-made disasters always come unexpectedly. In order to survive, these people can only leave their homes.

However, the disaster still refused to let them go. Zhi'er's father fell by the side of the road and never woke up again. Then came the young sister... When the traffickers appeared, everyone seemed to have predicted the girl's fate...

Zhi'er was taken away, and only half a bag of sorghum was exchanged.

Zhi'er's mother and older siblings watched her being taken away with the other girls and never looked back.There were no tears on their faces, but they could clearly feel the unspeakable guilt and sadness.

There is no other way, other than this, they have no way to go.

The eyes of the second lady were already red, especially Zai Zhi'er's mother told her remaining children in a hoarse voice, "Remember, your life was bought by your elder sister with the rest of her life!"

The road to escape from the famine continued, and Zhi'er did not appear again. Zhi'er's mother and younger siblings followed the fleeing crowd all the way north. From the mouths of passers-by along the way, they heard a place name, Guanbei.

Seeing this, Li Jinyan can already guess what the content of the next movie will be. The screenwriting of the movie is indeed not simple, and the director and other main creative staff have also put in a lot of thought. However, the whole movie left the deepest impression on him. The girl who was taken away by traffickers and never looked back.

When he saw that picture, his heart was blocked.

As the film enters the second half, the fleeing people arrive in Guanbei and start a new life. To Li Jinyan's surprise, Liu Geda and several other veterans from his farm also made cameo appearances.

At this point in the plot, the gray tone gradually recedes, hoping to return to the faces of everyone.

Zhi'er's mother found a job in the factory, and Zhi'er's younger siblings gradually grew up and went to school to study. The family's life began to improve, and the family regained a field and built a house.

The New Year's firecrackers sounded, and the family sat around the table. The two vacant seats and two pairs of bowls and chopsticks were very eye-catching.

It was the father who fell on the road to fleeing famine and Zhi'er who was taken away by the traffickers...

When the mother picks up the chopsticks, the picture changes again. The exquisite building, the high-hanging lanterns, the girl who greets and sees off, and the young woman sitting at the window on the second floor with only one back, she picks up the comb, I loosened the hair that was coiled up behind my head, and combed it into a big black braid...

The video is over.

The lights in the arena came on, but there was no sound for a long time. Li Jinyan turned his head, and the second lady was pressing the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

The director and screenwriter of the film stood up and bowed together to the audience, with Zhi'er standing among them.

The applause sounded and lasted for a long time.

"The Immigrant" was an instant hit.

In the following time, the Guanbei Theater and the other two movie theaters were full, and other provinces and cities in the six northern provinces, as well as theaters in Beijing, Tianjin and other places also began to show this movie made by the Chinese themselves.

The Guanbei Film Company cooperated with the Guanbei Theater to organize three projection teams, and took the machines to visit towns and remote villages without movie theaters one after another.

"No charge." The projectionist set up the projector and said with a smile to the village head who came to ask, "This is a movie made by our own people."

Simple farmers can feel the helplessness of fleeing famine in a disaster year, and many people cried during the film screening.After the film ended, the white-haired old man sighed even more: "It is our blessing to have Loujia in the six northern provinces."

The newspapers also began to report on this film repeatedly. English newspapers in Shanghai and other places praised the film for the first time, but what they praised was not the content of the film, but the sound film technology adopted by the Chinese.

"Obviously, the film made by the Huaxia people is successful, but the root of the success lies in the patented technology they bought...It's surprising that the Huaxia people are willing to spend money to buy patents..."

After Li Jinyan saw the report, he felt amused when he was angry, and felt depressed after laughing.

Even though these Europeans eat Chinese canned food and use Chinese medicines, in their eyes, China is still "ignorant" and "backward".This deep-rooted sense of superiority cannot be changed in a short period of time.

"Let him go."

Li Jinyan put down the newspaper, snorted, and the higher he stood, the harder he fell. When Huaxia stood at the same height as them, or even higher than them, and kicked them over, the feeling would definitely make these foreigners I will remember it forever.

In 1915, the European battlefield was generally in a stalemate, but there was a battle in Turkey that caused heavy losses to the Allies.

On February [-], the British and French joint fleet bombarded the Dardanelles in Turkey, which opened the prelude to the Gallipoli campaign proposed and organized by the British Secretary of the Navy Churchill.

The entire battle lasted for nearly three months. The Ottoman Turkish army, regarded as a soldier in West Asia, dealt a head-on blow to the British and French allied forces, which aborted the plan of the Allied Powers to open the Dardanelles. As an ordinary official, he put on a military uniform and went to the front line.

Although the Turkish army won the victory, nearly 50 people were killed or injured in the battle. This undoubtedly added to the already unstable situation in Turkey.

The war situation in Europe was continuously reported back to the country, and President Lou Da sent telegrams from the capital back to Guanbei without interruption.

In the southwest, Long Yiting has started to eliminate the remaining French forces in Yunnan. Many French people were directly sent out of the country and entered Vietnam through the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway.

"I didn't hurt anyone or kill anyone." Long Yiting said to the French consul who came to him, "The agreements were all signed through negotiations, and the process was absolutely civilized."

The French consul was not on the list of gifts to leave the country, but according to the current situation, if he stayed in Yunnan, he really couldn't guarantee whether the Chinese warlord would suddenly not want to be "civilized".

After exchanging telegrams with Kant, the Minister in China, the French Consul in Yunnan packed his bags and left.As for the belongings he brought on the train, Long Yiting ordered the Yunnan Army not to intercept them.

"After all, I haven't completely broken face with them, I have to give some face."

The reason why he was so generous was that Long Yiting used various "civilized" means to get a lot of good things from the French. Compared with these, what the French consul took away was not enough.

"The fighting in Europe is very lively now, and no one knows when it will stop. At that time, the French may turn around and fight with us." Long Yiting casually threw the military cap to the adjutant, and said to the staff: "Didn't that old Yan from Shanxi co-operate with the Lou family to set up an arsenal? This time I got a lot of things from the Frenchman. Let's take stock and set up a factory. The Lou family is a little god of wealth, and we can't lose money if we cooperate with them." , the brothers have a share in the benefits."

"Yes! Thank you, Commander!"

"Don't be too busy thanking me, come and show me, what kind of factory are we running..."

Yunnan drove away the French and started construction. Liu Fuxian in Sichuan was still unhurried. Xue Dingzhou in Guangdong was thinking about how to get rid of the British day and night. Tang Guangren in Guangxi and Tang Tingshan in Guizhou got together to make a plan. Did you also send people to Guanbei to learn Buddhist scriptures?

The arsenal in Shanxi broke ground, and Song Qining from Hubei didn't need to come to the door in person. Lou Xiao sent someone to bring him the blueprint of the Bei 15 submachine gun.

Song Qining got the blueprint, and then looked at the telegram sent by President Lou Da from the capital. Impressed, he immediately jumped from Lou's iron pole to steel pole.

Yuan Baoshan from Henan is busy arguing with Yan Huaiyu about the ownership of the areas bordering the two provinces. According to Yuan Baoshan, he should also be a part of the arsenal jointly run by Yan Huaiyu and Guanbei!

"So what if we sent troops to occupy it earlier? They say it belongs to Shanxi, but who doesn't know that the land boundary belongs to Henan!"

After arguing and talking, Yan Huaiyu and Yuan Baoshan didn't want to fight again, and they finally agreed that the Lou family's [-]% shares would not be changed, and they would each contribute half of the capital of the arsenal and the remaining half of the shares.

Since then, Yuan Baoshan has been tied to the Lou family's chariot after Yan Huaiyu.

"This person named Yuan is quite shrewd." Yan Huaiyu sent away Yuan Baoshan, who came to yell at her, and the angry look on his face suddenly turned into a smile, "Come on, our work is not in vain."

"Father chose to build a factory in Gong County before, so he expected Yuan Dushuai's reaction?"

"I'm not a god." Yan Huaiyu leaned on the back of the chair and licked his ears, "But it's not far from it. This old boy will take advantage of me, and he will rush forward when he smells fishy smell. He may not be better than me. Fortunately, I handed the pole, and he has no reason not to take it."

Yan Huaiyu said as much as he wanted, and he placed high hopes on this eldest son.Although it is definitely not comparable to the little tiger of the Lou family, it is still a little smarter.It's a pity that he is really not good at leading soldiers, and the remaining few sons are similar to the eldest son, so Yan Huaiyu made up his mind to send two certificates of nomination to the Lou family one after another, in order to keep the family safe.

"The shares of the three companies in Gong County are all about the same, and they can't take the majority. You should keep an eye on the Xiaobeimen Machinery Bureau. Taiyuan is the foundation of our family's foothold. When the matter with Yuan Baoshan is over, I will talk to Lou If you want to contact the Lou family, you have to ask the Lou family for help, and give the Lou family another [-]% of the shares."

"Yes."

At the same time that Gong County and Taiyuan Arsenal started construction one after another, the Congress finally passed a resolution on the disposal of a group of Mongolian princes headed by Jebtsundamba.

Jebtsundamba signed a document in the name of "Ezhen Khan", officially abolishing the independence and autonomy of Outer Mongolia, canceling the title of emperor he proclaimed himself, re-canonized as Hutuktu Khan, and "settled" in the capital.The princes of Outer Mongolia who followed him, except for those who betrayed, did not end well.

Confiscation of property is the lightest punishment for these Mongolian princes.

On February 28, the Chinese coalition government officially announced to take back Outer Mongolia and sent officials there.After the officials took office, they started to build railways in Outer Mongolia, opened schools, and introduced vegetables and grains from the six northern provinces. All the measures showed that the arrival of Chinese officials and troops did not mean conquest and plunder, but a better life. .

The actions of the six northern provinces in North Korea also began to accelerate.

Lieutenant Li Dongdao, who was captured in the Battle of Pyongyang, and a squadron of Korean soldiers he led were released from Sinuiju to North Korea.These North Koreans have all been re-educated by Chinese intelligence personnel, especially Lieutenant Li Dongdao, who not only had the honor of meeting Xiao Youde, but also saw the methods of Qiao Leshan and Ding Zhao. During those dark days in the interrogation room, I couldn't help shaking all over my body.

The Japanese are terrible, and the Chinese are a hundred times, a thousand times more terrible than the Japanese!

The Koreans who were "deadly loyal" to Japan "disappeared" one after another. Some of those who returned to North Korea with Li Dongdao were Korean soldiers in the army of the six northern provinces. Movement" to add bricks and tiles.

Li Dongdao was accompanied by a thin and gloomy Japanese man. If you look carefully, you can recognize him as Reiichi Kawaguchi who has disappeared for a long time.

Use the methods of the Koreans to deal with the Japanese, and then use the methods of the Japanese to deal with the Koreans.

It was Uncle Dumb who came up with this idea, now Xiao Youde and Uncle Dumb can be regarded as friendship, the two often communicate and learn from each other.

Xiao Youde initially wanted Mikhailov, the former commander-in-chief of the East Siberian Frontier Army who had almost forgotten that he was a Russian, to return to China with Li Dongdao, so that there would be a chance to cause trouble and make the Japanese think that the Russians were also in North Korea. Mix it up.

But the dumb uncle shook his head, dipped in water and wrote on the table, "Don't think the Japanese are so stupid, too much is too much, cleverness will be misunderstood by cleverness."

Seeing this line of writing, Xiao Youde frowned first, then stood up and saluted the dumb uncle after a while.Li Jinyan sat aside, watching the water on the table gradually dry up, and the words on it also disappeared. After thinking about it, he didn't say anything.

He is not the material, just look at it.

At the same time that Li Dongdao and Kawaguchi Reiichi entered North Korea, the North Korean king Li Xi, who was under house arrest, also got the news from his servant that the Huaxia people were about to start.

Li Xi clenched his fists excitedly and pressed against his lips. Are these days finally coming to an end?

He was too happy too early, Young Marshal Lou didn't intend to drive the Japanese out of North Korea immediately, he planned to drag Japan with North Korea, so that Japan would be unable to attack China.

Li Dongdao is a chess piece supported.Kawaguchi Reiichi can make this pawn play a greater role.

If the chess piece doesn't listen to control... It's very simple, just abandon him and choose another one.

At the beginning of March, the craze caused by the movie "Immigration" has not faded away, but the worry of the second wife has become a reality. An out-of-town newspaper published that Zhi'er had been a girl in Changsantangzi in Shanghai before, and pointed out that Zhi'er She once worked as a girl in Li's family and served Li Jinyan.

Gossip and pornographic news have a considerable market in any era.

A newspaper even found out Zhi'er's eldest brother. Under the lure of Dayang, the man who had sold his sister turned the truth upside down. Relationships between people are not simple.

Interested people began to dig into the history of the Li family, including the struggle between the first and second houses of the Li family.

"Li Sanshao is bullying others!"

"Hypocrite, what a villain!"

"Disrespect elders, do not love siblings!"

Similar reports appeared one after another, and a group of newspapers headed by Shizheng News wrote articles to refute this. They didn't want the matter to become more and more troublesome, and newspapers in Shanghai, Beijing and other places reported on it.

Some people who did not know the truth took what the newspaper said to be true, and began to criticize Li Jinyan verbally and in writing.

The previous strike of workers in Guanbei was also brought up. In connection with the recent general strike in Shanghai, more people began to believe that Li Jinyan was really a hypocrite.

At this time, the workers and their families who participated in the strike in Guanbei stood up, defended Li Jinyan, and cursed those who slandered him in the newspapers.

"I can't speak, but I know the truth. If there is no Li Sanshao, our family will starve to death!"

"We did something wrong, Li Sanshao didn't pursue it, and let us continue to work in the factory. The conscience of speaking ill of Li Sanshao has been eaten by dogs!"

"Li Sanshao is by no means a black-hearted businessman, whoever said that should have his tongue pulled out by Grandpa Hades!"

Reporters who came to Guanbei from other places inquired in the streets and alleys of Guanbei, and very few people said a bad word about Li Jinyan.

"It must be because of the Lou family!"

Some journalists came to that conclusion.It is too strange to praise a person so unanimously.Although there are newspapers in Guanbei who write articles saying that Li Jinyan is wrong, such newspapers and newspaper offices are often stoned, and some reporters are even spit on by passers-by if they are recognized.

Several reporters working for the Shanghai Times think they have discovered the truth of the matter, oppression by warlords!

"In name, he is a patriotic warlord, but he is nothing more than a fool."

A reporter who returned from studying in the UK snorted contemptuously, and planned to write an article immediately after returning to the hotel to reveal the truth of the matter.Unexpectedly, as soon as they walked to the hotel door, they saw their luggage piled up at the hotel door, and the hotel owner stood aside with an ugly face.

"How is this going?"

"That's it, my shop doesn't do your business!"

When the words fell, the hotel owner asked the staff to drive away the few reporters who still wanted to protest.

It turned out that the person who cleaned the room saw the unfinished press release of one of the reporters on the table. Let the guy throw out the luggage of these people, he doesn't do business with these people with no conscience!

"We paid for the accommodation, you can't do that!"

"Fuck!" Before the hotel owner could speak, the savage proprietress turned around and took out a few ocean dollars from the counter, and threw them directly at the feet of several reporters, "I'll give it back to you! Are these enough?"

The noise in front of the hotel attracted many people to watch. Only through the people in the hotel and the reporters arguing, did everyone know the reason of the incident. For a moment, the expressions of these reporters were a little bit unfriendly.

One of the reporters became impatient, thinking that this was definitely a conspiracy, and began to slander Li Jinyan without hesitation, while cursing Lou Xiao's warlord dictatorship.

A black car with the flag of the Marshal's Mansion was parked by the side of the road. Adjutant Ji turned his head and looked at Li Jinyan, "Master Yan?"

Li Jinyan didn't answer, and stretched out his hand to push the car door, but someone took a step ahead of him, and the sudden sound of horseshoes interrupted the noise in the crowd.

Seeing the knight on horseback, the crowd took the initiative to get out of the way. The black horse ran straight towards the journalists in the crowd. The horse's hooves almost stepped on him, and the person closest to him sat on the ground paralyzed in fright.

The knight on horseback pulled the reins violently, and the black steed raised its front hooves and neighed.

Young Marshal Lou patted the horse's neck, raised his head, his black eyes looked like a bottomless abyss.

The reporter swallowed, he recognized the person in front of him, but he still said forcefully: "Riding horses in the busy market, disregarding human life, it really is the style of a warlord!"

"Warlord?" Young Marshal Lou's expression was cold, "Yes, I am a warlord."

After the words fell, he raised his left hand.

The next scene made several reporters terrified. The knights on horseback raised their carbine at the same time, and the guns were pointed at them. No one in the crowd made a sound.

"no, you can not……"

Lou Xiao rode on the horse, looked down at the reporter sitting on the ground condescendingly, also raised his pistol, his eyes were cold, "I can."

Li Jinyan, who was sitting in the car, withdrew his hand to push the door, "Go back to the Marshal's Mansion."

"Master Yan, won't you go and see?"

"No." Li Jinyan shook his head, "Young Marshal is angry, whoever moves forward will be unlucky."

Adjutant Ji: "..."
