Republic of China: Our great warlord has many children and many blessings

Everyone agreed.

After all, everyone loves Li Yuanhong as president.

First, Li Yuanhong did not have his own army and was a mere commander.

Others can also take a sip of soup.

Soon, with the help of the direct Anhui clique and other big guys in the capital, everyone reached some agreements.

Li Yuanhong succeeded as president, with Duan Qirui as secretary of state and Feng Guozhang as vice president.

Everyone agreed.

In this way, the Zhili and Anhui cliques in Beiyang got the positions they wanted.

And Shen Hao is still the vice president.

Although no one wanted Shen Hao to become vice president, no one dared to say so.

Today's Shen Hao is not willing to provoke anyone.

Whoever dares to be the first to come forward and propose, it is estimated that Shen Hao can lead the army to fight over the next day.

The next day, the new president Li Yuanhong took office.

Electrify the whole country.

When they heard the news about"Nine Seven Seven", everyone was a little surprised.

I originally thought that Shen Hao would succeed the president, but I didn't expect that it would be Li Yuanhong.

For this result, warlords from all walks of life have a hundred supports.

Henan, Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Gansu, Ningxia, etc. immediately expressed their support.

But Shen Hao still didn't express his opinion.

The first thing Li Yuanhong did when he took over as president was the funeral of Yuan Shikai.

Although Yuan Shikai's last days were marked by betrayal and separation, the top management was all promoted by Yuan Shikai.

Most of the powerful figures in the Beiyang government, such as Xu Shichang, Duan Qirui, and Wang Shizhen, as well as the provincial governors, were Yuan Shikai's old subordinates. No one dared to stand up and liquidate Lao Yuan's historical crimes at this time.

Besides, there is also Shen Hao here.

So everyone discussed the funeral.

Li Yuanhong also sent a telegram to Shen Hao asking about the funeral specifications.

After all, he was his father-in-law, so Shen Hao just replied with two words: state funeral!

With Shen Hao's nod, everyone in Beiyang also felt that it should be a state funeral.

Immediately, the Beiyang government set up a funeral office to hold a state funeral for him.

After his coffin was parked in Zhongnan Nanhai for 21 days, a funeral was held on June 28 and the coffin was transported from the capital to Huanshang Village in Zhangde.

Yuan Shikai, a man of great influence, was buried at the age of 57.

After dawn on June 28, 108 cannons were fired, and Yuan Shikai's coffin set off from the Huai Ren Hall.

"

The Beiyang government held a very grand state funeral for" Pure water splashing on the street, loess on the road".

Flags were flown at half-mast across the country in mourning, entertainment activities were stopped for one day, schools were suspended for one day, and officials stopped banquets for 27 days. On the day of Yuan Shikai's funeral, there were huge crowds of people watching.

Crowded the whole city, with hundreds of thousands of people occupying both sides of the streets.

The upper floors of the capital city gates were wrapped in white cloth.

The bands playing funeral music included Western-style bands, Chinese-style ceremonial guards, and new army ceremonial guards.

Yuan Shikai's coffin passed west from the front gate. Duan Qirui personally helped the coffin onto the train when he took the train to Zhangde (Anyang).

The eldest son, Yuan Keding, led his family in mourning and mourning, holding mourning sticks in their hands while his wife, concubines, daughter and daughter-in-law followed in plain sedans. Behind.

The train was transported to Anyang via the Pinghan-Han Line.

On the day of the funeral, the Ping-Han Line was ordered to stop.

After the hearse started, all police officers and sergeants of the security team and officers and soldiers of the honor guard of both armies raised their guns to salute the hearse; all railway police officers saluted the hearse. Stand on the spot and pay attention.

All the funeral officers took off their hats and bowed three times.

Yuan Shikai's funeral was extremely luxurious and grand. The Beiyang government did not lower the funeral standards because he committed the farce of proclaiming himself emperor.

Yuan Shikai's funeral expenses were allocated by the Beiyang government 500,000 silver dollars to undertake the project, but this huge sum is still not enough. A large sum is still needed for the construction of the cemetery and the setting up of sacrificial fields.

In order to make up for the shortage of funds, Li Yuanhong, Duan Qirui and others took the lead in donating money. The envoys, guardian envoys, etc. responded one after another.

After Shen Hao heard about this, he directly stated that he would donate 200,000 yuan and forget about other people's donations.

After all, he is also Shen Hao's father-in-law, so Shen Hao can still afford this small amount of money.

Everyone also knew that Shen Hao was rich, so they didn't say anything.

In the end, Yuan Shikai's funeral cost a total of more than 700,000 silver dollars.

What's the concept? In this era, 30,000 yuan can buy 2,331 stones of rice, and 700,000 silver dollars can buy about 53,613 stones of rice.

Equivalent to the farmer's harvest, this expense can offset the farmer's income from planting 17,871 acres of land. For more than 20 days before Yuan Shikai's funeral, Shen Hao was trying to save face and did not use force.

Instead, he was consolidating his own power..At the same time, it is also preparing for the next step.

During this period, Japan has been negotiating with Shen Hao.

It wants to take back Dalian and Lushun.

These two places are not only greedy by the Japanese, but also jealous by Tsarist Russia. (Watch the storm. For cool novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

After all, this has always been the ice-free port that Tsarist Russia dreamed of, and the best outlet to the sea..........

Although Japan negotiated several times, Shen Hao refused to recognize the so-called Treaty of Shimonoseki or Japan's interests in China.

In desperation, Japan only approached the new president Li Yuanhong and the general secretary Duan Qirui.

But Dalian Lushun is Shen Hao's territory.

The two presidents and chief ministers have not yet secured their positions and are happy, but do not want to offend Shen Hao at this time.

Although Japan said that it could secretly support Duan Qirui and ask for money and guns, Duan Qirui did not dare to say this.

What he fears most is that once he opens his mouth, Shen Hao will have an excuse to clean up the Anhui Clique.

This is not the result Duan Qirui wants to see.

In comparison, the support given by the Japanese is negligible.

Shen Hao certainly knew about Japan's little tricks.

But I don’t care.

After Yuan Shikai was buried and the first seven days passed, all the girls came back.

Along with them came Yuan Datou's sixth concubine Ye Zhen and her daughter.

Ye Zhen had long been depressed after not seeing Shen Hao for so long.

That field is covered with weeds[]

Seeing Shen Hao as a bull, I couldn't bear it anymore.

Amid the ridicule of the girls, Shen Hao hugged him and walked in.

It took a whole night to plow.

The next day, when Ye Zhen came out with a rosy complexion, Yuan Fuzhen and others laughed and said:"Now I call you Sixth Aunt, or Sister Ye Zhen."

They were filled with emotion. They never expected that Shen Hao would unknowingly In a short period of time, he actually captured Ye Zhen, which was really impressive.

3.8 However, I understood it immediately.

How could Ye Zhen, who couldn't eat enough, resist the temptation when encountering a peerless delicacy like Shen Hao's?

Faced with the teasing of the girls, Ye Zhen also rarely blushed.

"You guys are serious, you know how to make fun of me. Now that I am also the master's woman, I can't call you Sixth Aunt anymore. If this spreads out, what will the master think of me?

From now on, just call me Sister Zhen, or Ye Zhen."Although Ye Zhen is the sixth aunt, she is not much older than the other girls.

Therefore, standing together, she looks like a big sister.

"I know Sister Zhen, giggle."

The girls laughed from ear to ear.

Amidst the teasing of the girls, Shen Hao also started the next strategy in his study.

Shen Hao faced Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai. Drawing a circle, he turned to Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and others and said,"Is there any problem in taking over Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai in one month?".
