9oo2983 Chapter 47 After returning to Beijing

It's about to enter winter when you look at it, and the weather in Beijing is also healing. The water came, and the garrison from the south outside the mouth was desperately transporting leather goods to the city in the peak season before the winter, and the city gate on the north side of the city of Beijing always seemed busy and bustling every day.

Although after the republic, there were rumors that the city wall of old Beijing had to be demolished in order to facilitate the entry and exit of the people and to facilitate the construction of roads, because this President Zhao Da did this in Wuhan at the beginning. But with the passage of time, this rumor also disappeared invisibly, because President Zhao Da had no intention of tearing down the walls of old Beijing, and it is said that the head of the state from the revolutionary party admired the old layout of old Beijing, so he decided to build another new city in the outskirts of Beijing, and several new cities, to cope with the future city exhibition. As for the old Beijing City, it has been preserved in the appearance of the "Old City", and perhaps future generations will be able to see the current version of the old Beijing

Child.

Of course. No matter what the future holds, no matter what the past holds, people pay more attention than the present, and the present life is not easy, and even the central government's financial resources are tight, and the construction of this new city is still in the central concept.

Regardless of whether the city wall is demolished or not, the current city gate is still the country's collective guarantee, considering that the situation is not very calm, the city gate will still be mostly closed at night, leaving only two city gates to facilitate traffic inside and outside the city.

It's now nine o'clock in the morning, and Deshengmen, in the north of Beijing, suddenly announced "temporary traffic control." "No one is allowed to enter or exit through this city gate, this order was issued by the chamber of the presidential palace, and the old Beijing with a little experience understands that this only means one thing: the president of the Republic of China is about to pass through the Desheng Gate, and the previous president went out of the city, and he also did this, which is also a necessary security measure.

A few days ago, Mr. President went to Shanhaiguan to inspect, and it was time to come back now, after all, the country cannot be left without an owner for a day. In the end, Beijing is the capital of the country, and it is safer for the president to sit here.

At 9:20 a.m., a motorcade drove mightily from the north of the city to Beijing, and this was the president's motorcade.

When he went to Shanhaiguan, the president took the train, but now, Mr. President apparently came back by car. As for the origin of those cars, it is a little puzzling, because the president did not bring so many cars when he went to Shanhaiguan, so the most likely explanation is that the president transferred the car halfway.

In fact, these cars were all received by Zhao Bei in Tianjin, which was a batch of cars ordered from the United States, a total of 200 cars. Originally, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce organized local chambers of commerce to order from foreign companies in the United States to form public transportation companies in major cities, and these cars were trucks, some of which would be sent to machine factories to be converted into buses to carry passengers, and the other part would be used as trucks. After these cars were transported to Tianjin, it was just in time for the president to return from his inspection of Shanhaiguan, and the president was very interested, so he gave an order. Twenty trucks were selected from it, rented at the expense of the Presidential Palace, to form a special convoy. Then I drove all the way back to Beijing from Tianjin.

It's not about putting on a show, it's about testing the trucks' performance and seeing how well they fit into China's roads.

The results of the test were somewhat unsatisfactory, after all, this ding. The automobile industry network of the times began to mature, the manufacturing of parts and components was not very standardized, and the performance of automobile engines was relatively backward, so there were many cars that broke down on this road, and the president should have rushed back to Beijing yesterday. However, it has not been delayed until now that they have returned to the city, and there are still five cars that have not been thrown on the road by Mr. President because of serious breakdowns, and they have been dragged back to the city by some war horses, so as not to delay the president's schedule.

As a result, there are now only 15 trucks entering Beijing. As the president, and also as the captain of this special convoy, Zhao Bei sat in the last truck, wearing an ordinary officer's uniform, and he was also a dusty servant.

The one who was escorted by the convoy was one. The cavalry regiment, as for the infantry regiment, rushed back to Beijing by train yesterday, and now among the troops carrying out the guard task at Deshengmen, there is this infantry regiment, which is directly subordinate to the guard office of the presidential palace.

Due to exhaustion. And there are other urgent matters to do, Zhao Bei is indeed not in the mood to get off the car to comfort the officers and soldiers who are on guard duty, after a few minutes of rest at Deshengmen, Zhao Bei gave an order, the convoy was reorganized, and then drove into the city, Zhao Bei sat in the lead car, leading the convoy to the south. However, I didn't go to the presidential palace, but rushed to the garden alley not far from Shichahai, and parked the car in the alley.

Before the convoy arrived at the alley, one. The cavalry battalion had already driven to this alley and surrounded it from front to front and to left and right. This posture, that is a mouse, does not want to get close to the president. x interstitial s ad time

This residential area was the station of Zhenghuang Banner in the former Qing Dynasty, and basically all the relatives who lived here in the past were relatives of the emperor. Either the prince or Baylor, ordinary people, even if they have a lot of money, can't live here. After the fall of the Manchu Dynasty, the bannermen and nobles became phoenixes, and many people raised money to pay off gambling debts. Or in order to escape the concession, the mansion of the curse of Xun Chuan was sold, and this Zhenghuangqi station has also become the favored place of many businessmen and the eyebrows, and even the dignified president of the Republic of China, Zhao Bei, also used a pseudonym to buy a traditional courtyard house in this garden alley, but not for himself, but to the name of the Cui Yi girl, which is considered to have fulfilled the promise to this red face. "Huayuan Hutong gets its name from a garden that used to be the private garden of Gushan Beizi Hongjing. However, the Beizi Mansion has long since declined, and the garden has disappeared. There is only one name left of the alley, the location of this alley is not the best, and the traffic is not very convenient, but because of this. The yard here is sold cheaply, which is also the main reason why Zhao Bei chose this place as a "foreign house".

"Outhouse." This has no other meaning, but compared to the "inner house" of the Presidential Palace, if it is too boring to live in the Presidential Palace, then Zhao Bei will go to this garden alley for a night and play some ambiguous things with Miss Cuiyi.

In fact, the night before leaving Beijing a few days ago, Zhao Bei spent the night in this "piece house", but he didn't sleep in the same bed as Miss Cuishi. Before, President Zhao Da would never have touched the girl's jade body. x interstitial s ad time

Therefore, in the recent days, Zhao Bei is having a headache about this "Ming Media is marrying", as a time-traveler, Zhao Bei is quite uninterested in the red tape of this era, but he can't help but take care of Miss Cuiyi's emotions, after all. People are also from serious families, and it is not too much to say that "scholarly people", there is quite a lot of research on this etiquette, and even the "matchmaker" Jiang Fangzhen has traveled thousands of miles from Fujian to send telegrams to remind the president, who has always been informal, to pay attention to this "procedural problem".

Miss Cuiyi is only seventeen years old this year, and she is in the flower season, although she may be a little younger, but Zhao Bei doesn't mind.

As a man with normal physiology, it is understandable that Zhao Bei is anxious, now after all, he is the dignified president of the Republic of China, if he is caught when he goes to visit Flower Street and Willow Lane, then the image of this president is finished.

Therefore, after inspecting Shanhaiguan, the president's wedding has become the first priority, and now Zhao Bei rushed to this garden alley, which is to discuss this topic with the woman's parents, according to the president's special secret telegram received yesterday at the Tianjin Garrison Headquarters, just the afternoon before yesterday, the old father and brother of the Cui Yi girl have rushed to Beijing, everything is ready, and the matchmaker came to the door to propose.

Zhao Bei's matchmaker is Jiang Fangzhen, when he was in Wuhan, Jiang Fangzhen intended to match the commander-in-chief and the Cui Yi girl, but the Jiang matchmaker is still presiding over the reorganization of the Fujian army in Fujian. It is impossible to rush to Beijing immediately to be busy with Mr. President's lifelong events, and it is impossible for Zhao Bei to transfer him over now. After all, now that the republic is in full swing, the new cultural movement is in full swing, and everything pays attention to changing customs, although the woman insisted on asking the matchmaker to come forward to say goodbye, but she did not say that the president was not allowed to be a matchmaker, then, Zhao Bei was the matchmaker himself, and he came to propose marriage, which can also be seen as free love in disguise, whether it is the old school or the radical, it is difficult to point fingers.

Relatives can not come to the door empty-handed, this time, Zhao matchmaker has prepared a lot of gifts, these gifts are prepared in Tianjin, what gramophone, camera, German ready-to-wear, British shawl "these strange foreign things represent the new culture of this era, as for rouge gouache, embroidered shoes, brocade quilts, complete sets of porcelain" These Chinese-made things represent the traditional culture of this country, which can be regarded as a combination of Chinese and foreign culture, It can also be seen as Mr. President's own interpretation of the special background of this country in this era, which tells the woman's parents that the times are progressing and society is unfolding. It is not possible to cling to the defects, only by learning from the strengths of others can the country be strong and the people rich.

As for the image of this matchmaker wearing a military uniform and a foreign gun on his waist, he is even more maverick, but others can't imitate it.

"All of them, Lizheng!"

The president stepped down from the truck, and the captain of the guard, Qin Sihu, who had been waiting by the side of the car, gave an order, and those guard soldiers immediately gathered in formation, and followed the order of the captain of the guard to remove the gifts from the truck.

"You, take the gramophone! You, get the camera! You, take this box! You, take that box! ,,The action is sharp! Listen to me, in a row. Turn left! Second row, turn right! All of them are there, stand upright! Keep your head up and go! One! Two! One! One! Two! One!

The guards followed Qin Sihu into the inconspicuous small courtyard, and the courtyard of the courtyard immediately became lively, and the entire garden alley was full of chickens and dogs.

Actually, before the convoy arrived at Garden Alley. There was already a lot of commotion here, because there had never been so many heavily armed cavalry guarding and patrolling back and forth here, and now the inhabitants of this place could open their eyes.
