Chapter 84: Slapped in the Face (Part II)
The Spring Festival has arrived, and in this era, the Spring Festival, as the most important festival of the Chinese nation, is still greatly valued even in a remote place like the Northeast. The Feng family, a big family that has been in the Northeast for several years, has a lot of rules. There are a lot of things that need to be touched. Feng Delin's body is not good and he can't work too hard, and these things naturally fall on the head of the young and old Feng Shaoshuai. In addition, Feng Yong's wedding is scheduled for the fifteenth day of the first month. As the most talked-about wedding in the three eastern provinces, there are many things to deal with. After all, this time Feng Yong married the princess of the three major forces at once. It is absolutely impossible not to pay attention to it. In the confusion, Feng Yong's first Spring Festival in this era passed.
After a series of things, Feng Yong was busy with a series of things. By the time things are almost busy, it's already the fifth day of the first month. The entire Feng Mansion is full of festive atmosphere, red lanterns are hung high, and the big happy words are posted all over the courtyard. Most of Feng Yong's younger brothers and sisters are ignorant children, although some of them are from Feng Delin's concubines, but Feng Yong's status in the Feng family is as stable as Mount Tai, and the relatives of the Feng Mansion all hope that their children can have a good relationship with this eldest brother. They didn't dare to think about inheriting the family business, but they just hoped that Feng Yong would be able to pull these younger brothers and sisters when they were developed. Feng Yong can also be said to have grown up with them, knowing that he is not a ruthless person, and he is still good for these aunts. Because of Feng Yong's unshakable position as the first term of the second generation, the Feng family has no worries about taking the heir. The atmosphere of the entire Feng family is relatively harmonious, maybe it has something to do with Feng Yong's younger brothers and sisters! This is also what Feng Yong is happy to see. After all, there will be no big family lifestyle in later generations, and it is understandable that Feng Yong is not adaptable. If the Feng family was really as cruel as the family in the Republic of China TV series, I'm afraid Feng Yong would have been unable to stand it for a long time. With his mental age in his twenties, and he has always been an only child in his previous life, he still likes those younger siblings who don't understand the world very much. Seven or eight of the older little ones also like to stick to him. It's just that when he came back this time, Feng Yong's momentum became more and more majestic, if Feng Yong was in a bad mood, none of these little guys dared to approach him.
After the year, the provincial government also carried out work in a step-by-step manner. The government and the military are different. The military must maintain a momentum and a bloody spirit at all times, and the government generally seeks stability. After all, a peaceful environment is needed for government affairs to be carried out.
The provincial government has issued an immigration order to bring poor peasants from Zhili, Shandong and other regions to the three eastern provinces through official and unofficial means. Of course, the most important thing is to go to Jilin Province. Population is the foundation of a power. If Feng Yong had a population of 10 million, Feng Yong could easily levy 500,000 troops without affecting the normal development of the local area. At present, the population under Feng Yong's jurisdiction is almost 6 million, but most of them are poor peasants who have been injured by the war. The tax revenue received by the government simply cannot feed an army of 200,000 people. In addition, it is time to resume production, and excessive conscription will not only affect local agricultural time, but also easily delay the development of the government. On the other hand, the 27th and 28th Divisions, the largest forces in the three eastern provinces, actually had less than 100,000 troops. Of course, there is a historical reason why the two regular armies have such great power. This also proves from the side that even the output of the entire Fengtian Province cannot support an army of 200,000, let alone a devastated Jilin Province that has been hit by the war.
Therefore, Feng Yong preliminarily decided that the total strength of the public security corps should be set at 100,000. Any more would be a huge burden on the provincial government's finances. The only difference between Feng Yong's public security corps and the 27th and 28th divisions was that the public security corps had its own land that could be cultivated, and a large area of military farms, which could basically meet the army's food supply. Weapons and ammunition can also be produced in small quantities in their own arsenals, plus weapons left in arsenals. It was enough for the Jilin provincial government to survive the most difficult moment at the beginning. In a year or two, when Feng Yong's plan for a large industrial zone comes to fruition, Jilin will become the industrial center of the Republic of China, and the domestic sale of a large number of industrial products can bring a large amount of financial revenue to the provincial government. Besides, the Western powers, now the industrial center of the world, are mired in World War I and need a large number of manufactured goods. As long as Feng Yong seizes the opportunity, he will make a lot of money.
Originally, everything was developing in a good direction, Feng Yong only had to wait for the wedding to be completed, and take his 'daughter-in-law' to the north.
It's a pity that things in the world are not transferred by Feng Yong's will. The news came from the Siberian Tiger and the Beize family almost in no particular order, and it was a news that made the Feng family extremely embarrassed. Feng Yong's two appointed daughters-in-law all ran away from home. When everything was done and he was ready to go south to get married, he ran away from the marriage. This kind of thing is simply unthinkable. This is a naked slap in the face! The Feng family, because Feng Yong's father and son were in full swing, or the major forces would not agree to the seemingly absurd decision of the three daughters to marry Feng Yong at the same time. Originally, if the three families had successfully formed an alliance, everyone would have thought that the three eastern provinces would enter a period of calm. It's a pity that the situation has changed, and no one thought that the woman did not regret the marriage, but the bride disappeared at the same time. One is okay to say, and it is interesting for two to run away at the same time. The reason why the two major forces did not conceal the news and inform the Feng family so frankly was that there was no way. After all, it is a very big thing for his eldest lady to escape from marriage, and it is impossible to hide it. It's better to say it frankly, as long as the two families pay a certain price, it is not impossible to calm the anger of the Feng family. But if you conceal it and don't report it, and embarrass the Feng family when the big wedding comes, then even if the Feng family has the heart to reconcile, it will be impossible, weighing the pros and cons, the two major forces still made a wise choice.
The three eastern provinces suddenly fell silent. All forces were blinded by this news, and they had heard of those who had run away from marriage in recent years, but they didn't expect to run away two at once. The most embarrassing ones were Pollar and Kitazawa Chongxiu who stayed in the Fengtian family.
The two envoys contacted the forces behind them as soon as possible, but there was still no news of their own young lady. Although the time of the two young ladies who escaped from marriage was in order, it was not far apart. Tuoba Huiji escaped on the way back to White City. During this time, Miss Tuoba ran a chamber of commerce in Changchun City, and she also accumulated some ways in her hands. It's easier to get married.
The eldest lady of the Kitazawa family, Kitazawa Xiangling, left a book and ran away by herself. In the book, she admits that she doesn't like arranged marriages and wants to pursue her own happiness. I don't know who leaked the content of Miss Beize's letter, and Feng Shaoshuai became the laughing stock of people in the three eastern provinces for a while.
The Feng family is very angry and embarrassed now, can Feng Yong's wedding be held? After all, she is still a lady of the Zhang family. The eldest lady of the Zhang family can't be wronged because of the affairs of the other two families. After all, among the three forces, Feng Delin values Zhang Zuolin the most.
But with such a serious slap in the face, it is impossible for the Feng family to have that confidence anymore. All forces are spreading the Feng family's reaction. Rumors spread in teahouses and green buildings all over the country. Feng Shaoshuai once again became the talk of the tongue. According to the grandson of the second uncle's third aunt's uncle, a cousin of the Feng family, "When Feng Shaoshuai received the information, he went crazy on the spot and smashed a valuable antique vase. He even locked himself in the house and didn't come out for three days. ”
This kind of message somehow got spread, and then an even more bizarre version came out. There are many versions of the reasons for Miss Tuoba and Miss Kitazawa to escape from marriage, but this kind of message is only limited to telling stories in the Qinglou Teahouse, and several major forces have not expressed their stance on this matter. It was not clear to the crowd what had happened.
"Dick! What's going on? How could a big living person disappear inexplicably in front of his eyes? Tell me, what the hell is going on? The old man of the Siberian Tiger roared angrily at the second master of Tuoba, who was cowering.
The New Year has passed, and the second master of Tuoba and Tuoba Huiji closed the Tuoba Chamber of Commerce, and set off to return to Baicheng first, preparing to go south to complete the marriage. But as soon as she walked out of Qian'an County, Miss Tuoba disappeared silently. Only the second master Tuoba himself came back in disgrace.
"Father, Hui Ji doesn't like that Feng Yong. She...... She ........., and I don't know. "The second master of Tuoba is aggrieved to death. Tuoba Huiji told him that he was going to run away from marriage, and at that time, the second master of Tuoba who was full of thoughts that he could return to Baicheng and live happily didn't take it to heart at all, thinking that Miss Tuoba was just talking angry. Although the second master Tuoba is a bastard, he also knows the life of his parents and the words of the matchmaker. But by the time she set off the next day, Miss Tuoba had disappeared. Only a few silver dollars were left for the second master of Tuoba, which was enough for him to return to Baicheng. It was not until this time that the second master of Tuoba panicked, looking everywhere, and even mobilized the local green forest forces to find it for the first time, and he searched for three days, but there was still no news, and finally the second master of Tuoba knew that the matter was big and had to come back to report to the old man. The second master of Tuoba still has self-knowledge, and he knows that this matter is not something he can bear. He has lived in Changchun for several months, but he knows that this security corps is not as simple as he imagined. Especially Zhenzhen, who is now the commander of the Changchun garrison, is definitely a ruthless person! With a threat, the blood of Changchun City was like a river. Xiaoxiao trembled, and Changchun City almost became untouched all of a sudden. The Public Security Corps is so powerful, let alone the 28th Division behind the Public Security Corps. This is also the first time that the second master of the straw bag has felt fear.
"Find! At all costs, be sure to find out Hui Ji! The depression in the heart of the old man Tuoba can be imagined. The world only knows the scenery of his Siberian tiger, but who sees the hardships behind his scenery. Based on the dead soldiers he had trained himself, he had expanded into the White Tiger Army, and it was extremely difficult to bear the burden of 40,000 people. Close to the Inner Mongolian steppe, there is no shortage of qualified cavalry and horses. But advanced cavalry equipment is really too difficult to obtain. At present, Western countries are at war and there is a serious shortage of military supplies. Although the status of cavalry in warfare is constantly declining, the current high-mobility cavalry still has a certain position in the Western military system, and today's cavalry equipment is even less visible in the international arms market.
The weapons of the Siberian tigers were basically purchased from Russia or China through the Mongolian aristocracy. But now Lao Maozi is too busy to take care of himself, whether it is in the domestic or international market, there is almost no advanced cavalry equipment, and he looks down on backward equipment. This makes the Siberian tiger feel a deep sense of powerlessness. Feng Yong's security corps expanded so quickly that he was a great threat, and agreed to Tuoba Huiji and Feng Yong to marry, hoping to delay time and strive to get together enough equipment to make the White Tiger Army an army. But now that Tuoba Huiji has escaped from marriage, his overall plan has been disrupted, and if he doesn't do it well, the power of the Siberian Tiger will be wiped out.
