Seeing that Tang Jian was full of panic, Gelina forgot to drink the soup that was "big tonic", she couldn't help laughing out loud. (eng.com) Gelina smiled mischievously: "Tang, we are joking, why are you so nervous?"

Tang Jian complained secretly, is there anyone who is so scary?

Terina leaned forward and said softly, "Come on, my dear Don, I'll feed you."

Tang Jian said in fear and trepidation: "No...no, I will do it myself." After that, he drank all the great tonic items in the small bowl.

Deng Yimeng covered her face and laughed: "Terina, don't scare him. Brother Jian is busy with official business, so let's go out and don't disturb him."

Terina was about to take a look at Tang Jian, but when she turned around, she accidentally scanned the telegram on Tang Jian’s desk, which was the best news for Zhang Zuolin to defeat the Cossack Cavalry.

Terina was once a Russian princess. Tang Jian knew that this telegram could not be seen by Terina, but it was too late. She picked up the telegram and read it carefully, but she burst into tears after a while.

Tang Jian was a little embarrassed. After all, Terina was a Russian princess. These Cossack cavalry were her subjects, but now the southern army has won a great victory, which means that her country has suffered huge losses and countless casualties and wounded by her people.

Tang Jian thought she was sad about this matter, so he stepped forward and advised: "Terina, this..."

Deng Yimeng also stepped forward and gently pulled the corner of Terina's clothes, as if to comfort her not to be sad.

Unexpectedly, Gelina said: "Don, I am not sad because they lost the battle. On the contrary, I hope you can drive them out of your country because they are the invaders. I just don't like war, because there will be many innocent people dying in this way. I am sad and crying for those who died innocently."

"Terina..." Tang Jian, who was so proud of the lotus, didn't know how to persuade Terina.

Terina wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "Actually I hate them. As invaders, they are not worthy of sympathy. I heard that they burned, killed, looted, and robbed all the way south. They acted cruelly and killed many innocent Chinese people."

"So, Tang, you must drive them out of your country! Please, please don't worry about my identity. I am no longer a princess. I am your wife now, Tang Jian's wife!" Terina pressed Tang Jian's shoulder and said solemnly.

Tang Jian was deeply moved and nodded.

"Haha, let's go, Sister Meng." Terina burst into tears and smiled, took Deng Yimeng's little hand and walked out. Her expression of extremely sadness just now disappeared in an instant.

Deng Yimeng was pulled out by Gelina. When she reached the door, Deng Yimeng turned her head and made a playful face at Tang Jian. She clenched her fists with her little hands and made a "Come on": "Brother Jian, come on!"

With the sound of closing the door, the two left Tang Jian's sight.

Tang Jian touched his chin and smiled happily.

...

In the city of Beijing.

The annual Chinese Spring Festival is approaching, and the streets of Beijing are decorated with lights and colorful colors, and some wealthy families even hang big red lanterns in front of the vermilion gates.

The streets were crowded with people and hawkers gathered. The people in Beijing took advantage of the Chinese New Year's Eve to go out to buy New Year's goods.

The atmosphere in an ordinary family in the south gate of the city of Beijing was a bit different. An old man surnamed Tian, ​​who was about 50 years old, sat in front of the door with a frown.

An old woman kept coming from home: "Son, when you are in the south, you should pay attention to your health. If you have anything, write a letter. Although your father is as dark as a pot, he supports you in his heart."

"Mom, I understand!" said the young man known as his son.

"You must pay attention to safety! My son is worried about his mother. When we part, we don't know when we will meet again!" The mother said, wiping her tears.

"Okay, mom, I've been nagging for an hour. I'm not alone in this time. Ergouzi next door and Zhou Youcai from East Street. We have more than a dozen people in total. What can we do on the road?" Although my son said this, he didn't have any impatientness in his tone.

"That's good, that's good." The mother burst into tears as she said.

"Haha, mom, don't worry, we will be back to Beijing soon, and you will definitely live a good life by then." The son said confidently.

The son who had packed his luggage walked out of the door and said to his father who was sitting on the threshold: "Father, then I'll leave!"

Although his father nodded expressionlessly, his slightly trembling and dissatisfied with calloused hands betrayed his mood at this moment.

As the son disappeared at the gate of the yard, the mother rushed to the gate and looked reluctantly at the direction where the son's back disappeared, tears flowing.

The mother stomped her feet angrily and said to the old father who was sitting on the threshold: "You old guy, why don't you send your son to you!"

The father stood up and said earnestly: "A good man is determined to be in all directions. Besides, my son went to fight for the people in the north. If I go to see him off, wouldn't he worry more about his son?"

The old father turned around and walked into the inner room, sighed heavily: "Oh, it's all this Yuan Shikai who committed the crime!"

It turned out that since the war between the north and the south started, Yuan Shikai continued to increase taxes from several northern provinces in order to raise military expenses. Now the people in the north are overwhelmed, and their lives are extremely harder than when Cixi was there. However, they dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. Who made the general Yuan have a gun in his hand?

"Oh, I'm getting more and more unable to survive!" My mother also sighed.

Since the Beiyang Fleet of the Southern Army defeated the Russian Pacific Fleet on the Yellow Sea, Yuan Shikai has captured strong men in the northern provinces and forced young and middle-aged people to join the army. Many villages were only elderly, weak, women and children, and some young people made an appointment to go to the south to join the Southern Army, which would never be cheaper.

Since the civil war between the north and the south, the lives of the people in the north and the south have been completely different. Yuan Shikai kept slapping the people, increasing taxes, and catching strong men. Some passionate young people have long wanted to resist.

But the south is different. Although the southern army lacks food and guns, the southern army never disturbs the people. Many people say that the southern army is the army of the people. Not only does it not oppress the people, it also does bad things for the people.

Let’s talk about the issue of joining the army first. People always voluntarily join the army, and there is absolutely no such thing as catching the strong men.

Moreover, in the south, the Southern Army not only did not increase taxes, but instead reduced some heavy taxes and encouraged private enterprises to start businesses. If you don’t have money, you can borrow money from the Southern Army and pay it back after you make money. The interest on the loan is even less.

Some tenants without land in the south also distributed the fields. Where did the excess fields come from? It turned out that the Southern Army had promulgated a "Land Law", which strictly restricted the amount of land owned by the large southern landlords. All lands that exceeded the maximum amount of land owned by the stipulated land would be confiscated. The land that did not agree would be beheaded. After the confiscation, the land was distributed to poor people without land. Such a good thing has never happened.

People who don’t want to farm can also work in factories, with a minimum of ten taels of silver per month. This income is the highest annual income for ordinary people in the north.

Some people also heard that the people in the eight southern provinces can eat meat every month, which is much better than the hard days in the north.

Therefore, many people in the north say that the Southern Army is better. Just when Yuan Shikai was catching a large number of strong men in the north, some passionate young people from the north fled to the south and joined the Southern Army. They hoped to overthrow Yuan Shikai as soon as possible, and they all wanted to live a good life with fields and land and meat every month.

Who would still be willing to help Yuan Shikai fight? Yuan Shikai is clearly a traitor. He not only ceded the Northeast to the Russians, but also allowed Mongolia to give up the country's interests.

Not only that, Yuan Shikai also invited Russians to help with the war. Many ordinary people heard that the Russian soldiers went south, burned, killed and looted all the way. They chopped their heads when they saw people, and even let newborn babies go.

The people in the north became even more disgusted with Yuan Shikai from the bottom of their hearts. Some people in the north who were close to the southern provinces even migrated to the south with their families.

By reviewing the above reasons, the above place was found. Even many passionate young people living in Beijing went south to meet the Southern Army.

Many ordinary people say that Yuan Datou will not be able to jump around for a few days, and the southern army will soon be launched.

Prime Minister's Office.

Although the Spring Festival is coming, Yuan Shikai is not happy at all. Yesterday he heard another bad news from the front line. Witt's 30,000 Cossack cavalry were defeated, and he had lost nearly 20,000 elite troops before he arrived in Jingzhou.

Before Vite headed south, Yuan Shikai told him that he must not underestimate the Southern Army. Tang Jian has always been deceitful in his military use, but he did not expect that he would suffer such a big loss when Vite was careless.

Even so, Yuan Shikai could not generate electricity to severely accuse Vit. After all, it was the Russian army. Although Nicholas II agreed to Yuan Shikai to send troops to provide assistance, the Russian army did not directly fall under Yuan Shikai's jurisdiction. On the contrary, Yuan Shikai had to give in to every place.

At this time, Yuan Shikai felt that these tens of thousands of Russian troops were like chicken ribs, and it was a pity to eat it without taste.

News from the front line that armored vehicles appeared in the southern army that defeated the Cossack cavalry this time. Yuan Shikai knew very well how powerful this new weapon was, it was like a moving fortress.

The news about the armored vehicles made Yuan Shikai panic. He did not expect that Tang Jian would develop a new armored vehicle so quickly after losing the scientific research base of Beizhudao. It was said that it was much more advanced than his armored vehicles.

"Report!" Just when Yuan Shikai was in sorrow, an officer from the Beiyang New Army suddenly came in to report.

"Come in, what's wrong?" Yuan Shikai cleaned up his upset mood and said with a bad look.

"Report to the Grand Commander, a new Beiyang army in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province mutiny!" the officer lowered his head and said.

"What?" Yuan Shikai was shocked.
