.: Meeting in Wind and Cloud (First update! Additional update! Please vote for me!)

The Hongyun Teahouse in the Shanghai Concession is a small teahouse that is not very conspicuous.

However, the business of this tea house has always been good. It is not only a place for many people living in Shanghai to have morning tea, but also attracts many guests from other places because of its special meals.

In the past month or so, the business of Hongyun Tea House has obviously been better than before. The reason is simply because there is a theater box here. The name of the theater box implies that it is a theater box that can transmit the sound of theater.

The opera box was placed in a wooden box next to the cabinet by the owner of Hongyun Teahouse. The opera box was about the size of four bricks, with a black artificial ivory shell, and the front part was covered with a layer of white shiny aluminum, and then there were red indicators.

The needle looks very beautiful, and the sound coming from it is even clearer and louder than the record player.

In the early morning, eating breakfast and listening to a play will make people feel good for the whole day. Even after a tiring day at night, they came to the Hongyun Teahouse, ordered some food, and after listening to a play, all the fatigue disappeared immediately.

No trace.

The tragic and exciting Henan Bangzi, the smooth and smooth Ping Opera, sometimes Peking Opera, Huangmei Opera, Su Opera, and sometimes even foreign music. It can be said that this opera box is far more exciting than the record, and from time to time there will be

News, this doesn’t even save money on buying newspapers.

"Hey, Mr. Wei, you're here"

As soon as he saw a regular customer, the old man quickly greeted him.

"Old Fang, what are you doing today?"

"Hey, Mr. Wei, you are here to match. In just a few seconds, you will be singing Huangmei. That was sung by a famous artist..."

"Oh, then I have to feast my ears."

Lao Fang couldn't help but be rude. Although business was good now, he knew that dozens of opera boxes could be sold in Shanghai now. The reason why he had opera boxes in the first place was because his son who was studying in Dehua brought them from Lianyungang.

Yes, as soon as the club came out, the business was booming for a while, but it didn't last long. Now there are several taverns and teahouses that don't have the theater boxes.

A theater box costs 30 yuan, which is expensive, but with so many customers, you can earn it in just a few days.

"Ding……"

There was another crisp sound of chiming time. Listening to the sound of chiming time, several guests smiled.

"Listen, Lianyun Zhiying is about to speak."

There were also a few young people who listened with longing faces. Ever since there was a play box, the one that came with the play box was probably the "Lian Yun Zhi Ying", whose voice was so beautiful...

"The current time is 7 o'clock Central Standard Time. Here is a special news for you."

"Special news?"

It wasn't supposed to be a ten-minute play first. From the perspective of old people familiar with Lianyun Radio broadcasts, this was something unprecedented.

"Yesterday, Mr. Gu Weijun, Director of Foreign Affairs of the Huaihai Economic and Strategic Affairs Office, held a meeting with Mr. Marzen, the German Charge d'Affaires in China. Germany officially handed over Jiaoao to the Huaihai Economic and Strategic Affairs Office of the Republic of China at 24:00 on August 3, 2017.

Give up at the same time..."

What

Everyone who had no interest in the news was all shocked when they heard the report. Some of them even stood up in shock.

"...Huaihai Economic and Strategic Envoy Mr. Li Zicheng issued a nationwide telegram on the matter of taking over Jiao'ao..."

"Outside of the number, Huaihai Economic Strategy Envoy Li Tongdian called the whole country to take over Jiao'ao."

At this time, the shouts of the newspaper sellers were no longer needed. Early in the morning, with the special news coming from more than a hundred teahouses with opera boxes in the capital, people already knew the news, but at this time, they still

There were people scrambling for the extra number, as if they wanted to find out something from the full text of the call on that extra number.

On power up they found some content.

The Third Division of the Jiangsu Army had already stationed in Jiao'ao. Before they knew the news, Jiao'ao had been transformed from a German colony into Chinese territory. The former German governor of Jiao'ao had already boarded a train and was preparing to go to the German Concession in Tianjin.

"idiot"

In the Japanese legation, Hikichi yelled and cursed loudly after receiving the telegram.

He only found out from the telegram sent by the consulate in Qingdao that China had taken over Jiao'ao, even before the tea drinkers in the capital heard about it earlier. But what made him angry was that Yuan Shikai actually treated him like a monkey.

Fooled.

If it was said that it was the "personal behavior" of the Huaihai Economic Envoy, he would definitely not believe it. The explanation in the telegram that the central government was in trouble and the localities should share the country's worries was a joke in his opinion. Without Yuan Shikai's support, he would have

How dare you, how dare you challenge Japan, even Yuan Shikai didn't dare, he...

"Prepare the car, I'm going to see Yuan Shikai"

"How can this be good?"

As the president, Yuan Shikai knew about it a little earlier than others, but he only learned the news after four o'clock in the morning. By the time he came to his senses, it was already after six o'clock.

what can we do about it?

What can we do?

Ever since he received the telegram from Lianyungang, he had been thinking about this issue. Even after inviting the staff and cabinet members, they still couldn't figure it out.

"This Li Zhiyuan is too bold."

"It's better to be brave. Why do the Japanese dare to treat us like this? Isn't it because..."

"What if the Japanese attack Qingdao?"

"What to do, fight them"

"You said it's simple, how to fight, what to use to fight Japan"

In the conference room, the cabinet members were arguing. Everyone was frightened by Li Zhiyuan's boldness. They never thought that someone would be bold enough to take food from the Japanese. Moreover, the Japanese thought that they had almost eaten it.

The meat in your mouth.

"President, the Japanese navy left the port yesterday."

Duan Qirui looked towards the president. Although Li Zhiyuan's actions were different from what was originally agreed upon, he couldn't care less about it now. In his opinion, now was not the time to settle old scores. This matter was not

It's Li Zhiyuan's business alone, it's China's business

"Yes, President, whether it is war or peace, you have to come up with an idea."

Wang Shizhen added next to him that he was also pulled out of bed, but not by the president, but by Yunpeng, the governor of Shandong. Because of the news from the railway, he sailed from Lianyun to Shandong Province overnight.

There were more than 30 trains in Qingdao. A railway bureau employee who knew that the Jiangsu Army would be transferred to Mongolia immediately reported to him, and he sent the telegram.

Before he could figure out what was going on, the news came out on the radio over there.

When Li Zhiyuan took over Jiaoao, he really had the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard.

Regardless of his heart or courage, Wang Shizhen knows that now Li Zhiyuan has forced China into a situation where it is difficult to get off the ground.

"President, it is absolutely impossible for Jiao'ao to be surrendered to the Japanese now."

Xu Shichang said from the side.

"Yes, if anyone sends a telegram to Li Zhiyuan asking him to give Jiao'ao to the Japanese, he will be labeled as a traitor."

"But we definitely can't fight with the Japanese because of Jiao'ao."

Xu Shichang's words only made Yuan Shikai frown. Although Li Zhiyuan went beyond the central government and negotiated with the Germans to take back Jiao'ao, it was undoubtedly a slap in the face for Yuan Shikai, but in his heart, he couldn't help it.

To admire Li Zhiyuan's courage and courage, that boy...

But I admire it, but the national power is not as good as others, so what can I do at this time?

Yuan Shikai was very good at "governing people and seizing power." In terms of diplomacy, he was also not inferior to internal affairs. After the initial shock and anger, Yuan Shikai spoke.

"Immediately send someone to ask for the British Minister Zhu Erdian, um, and the American Minister Rui Shien."

At this time, perhaps only the United Kingdom can come forward. In fact, if the United Kingdom can help China, other countries will not dare to invade China. But the British must not know what they promised Japan, or else they will give Japan some courage.

They did not dare to ask for China's Jiao'ao at this time, even though that place was previously occupied by the Germans.

Fortunately, fortunately, Li Zicheng gave himself a step down and there was still room for negotiation.

Just when Yuan Shikai made this decision, a chamberlain hurriedly reported outside the conference room.

"President, the Japanese Minister asks for an audience."

Japanese Minister

Hizhi Yi

Everyone in the conference room looked at each other. Needless to say, they also knew what Nichichi was here to do. He must have come to protest.

"Go and ask the Japanese minister to wait. The president will be here shortly."

Yuan Shikai, who wanted to delay for a while to collude with Zhu Erdian, had just finished speaking when he heard the chamberlain add something stuttering.

"The Japanese minister said that if the president doesn't see him now, then the next time the two countries will meet at war."

What

"This day purchase benefit is too deceptive."

"Simple is..."

Anyone can say harsh words. Although Hizhiyi's words were really annoying, Yuan Shikai smiled bitterly, stood up and said.

"Don't be too restless for a moment. It will be beneficial when the President goes to meet with him."
