Chapter 304: Induction Ceremony 1

readx; Shanghai in the color of 1913 Chinese New Year's Eve is much brighter than in previous years, Shanghai after Xinhai has not suffered much impact, due to the Shanghai concession and the existence of many foreigners, whether it is the original Xinhai Revolution Shanghai did not suffer much damage, and even when there was a large-scale war in the nearby area, Shanghai was still in a state of wine red light and green, this was the case during the war in southern Jiangsu, although there was a small-scale battle with Chen Qimei's troops when the Nationalist Army first entered the Chinese boundary in Shanghai, but it ended quickly, Later, when the battles in Zhenjiang and Nanjing were going on, Shanghai had always existed as the logistics base camp of the Nationalist Army and a transit station for various materials.

In the early years of the Republic of China, when the whole of China was in turmoil, Shanghai still maintained an almost deformed prosperity.

In the Chen Mansion, Dong Baishi was lying on the recliner, his hand caressing the abdomen that had been greatly raised, slightly closed and enjoying the touch of the breeze at the end of spring. ”

At this time, Dong Baishi, who was slightly closed, opened her eyes, the pregnant young woman's face was a little fat, and her eyes also showed a lazy look, she didn't even bother to turn her head, but opened her eyes slightly and closed them again.

"Let the kitchen prepare dinner, and tell them to make it lighter, the master likes light!" Dong Baishi had already closed his eyes again and said softly.

Chen Jingyun's main purpose in coming to southern Jiangsu this time was to relocate the garrison and move the military administrative center to Nanjing, and during this period, he also had a lot of official affairs to be busy, such as inspecting the troops, meeting with officials from all sides, and presiding over the ceremony of the navy's new ship commissioning.

This time he came to Shanghai, Chen Jingyun did not live in Chen's mansion, but chose to stay in Zhang Yuan, this is mainly because Chen Jingyun brought too many military and political personnel this time, and many officials are ready to go to Nanjing with him, and this time he will not stay in Shanghai for a long time, and he will follow Chen Jingyun to Nanjing in a few days. The placement of these personnel is not so easy to handle, after all, in addition to living, they also need to work, they are not following all the way to play, but also dealing with a large number of official affairs at the same time. To put it simply, Chen Jingyun has an administrative team and a military team with him, and it is really difficult to settle in a big place.

In order to receive Chen Jingyun in Shanghai, the municipal government specially borrowed Zhang Yuan as Chen Jingyun's temporary residence in Shanghai.

In addition to these official reasons, there are also some personal reasons, after all, there is still a Dong Bai living in the Chen Mansion, this time Chen Jingyun came to Shanghai and brought Lin Yun and Luo Li, although he believed that he couldn't make trouble with these women, but there was no need to make himself uncomfortable and let them live together, plus Lin Yun and Dong Bai were both pregnant, if there was any conflict at that time, it would not be a good thing for them to have fetal gas, so Chen Jingyun simply took Lin Yun and Luo Li to live in Zhang Yuan.

In the evening, Chen Jingyun's motorcade had already entered the mansion on time, and as soon as he got out of the car, Chen Jingyun had already looked at Dong Bai, who was waiting for him with a big belly at the door.

"You're inconvenient, why are you still waiting outside!" Chen Jingyun walked up and looked down at Dong Bai's, the current Dong Bai's looks a little chubby compared to last year, his face is chubby, and his arms are much rounder.

"Don't get in the way, I heard them say that I came out when you reached the intersection!" This is true, she has been standing in this doorway for less than a minute, and she is almost on the verge of giving birth, but she doesn't have the strength to hold up a big belly and wait for a long time.

"Let's go inside!" Dong Baishi took Chen Jingyun's hand: "I asked the kitchen to prepare dinner, it's all you like!" ”

"This time, I have suffered you! But don't worry, I won't leave this time when I come to Sunan! Chen Jingyun helped Dong Baishi and said as he walked inside: "When I settle down in Nanjing, our child is almost born, and then your mother and son will follow me to Nanjing!" ”

When Dong Baishi heard this, he raised his head and did not answer immediately, but pouted: "Actually, Shanghai is also very good, I like it after living for a long time!" ”

When Chen Jingyun heard this, she thought she was worried about Chen Yu's, and immediately said, "Mother, you don't have to worry, I've already told her." Don't worry, you are my woman and will not let you be wronged! ”

Dong Bai looked up at Chen Jingyun: "Thank you!" ”

"Thank you, this is my responsibility and should be done. When we arrive in Nanjing, we will have a wedding, and then you can live with us if you like it, if you find it inconvenient, I will find you another yard. "This Dong Bai's identity problem has been delayed for a long time, and Chen Jingyun doesn't want to drag it out like this, and it can be seen that if the detailed rules of the marriage law of the Republic of China are implemented in the future, or after he really reunifies China and becomes the president, then it is estimated that it will not be very convenient to marry his aunt's wife.

Hearing Chen Jingyun talk about the wedding, Dong Bai's eyes, which were still a little plain and lazy, quickly lit up: "Marriage? Let me in the door? ”

"Hmmm! I told my mother before I came, and she didn't object! Chen Jingyun said, in fact, Chen Yu's opposition can't be opposed, Chen Jingyun hasn't seen Chen Yu's titular mother for a long time, Chen Yu's old lady also knows why, so before leaving, Chen Jingyun said that he wanted to marry Dong Bai's third aunt, although Chen Yu's heart was dissatisfied, but he also knew that he couldn't change his son's mind, so he could only acquiesce and then continue to eat fast and chant Buddha in the Buddhist hall.

"Really?" Dong Bai seemed to be a little unable to believe in her ears, although she was a traditional little woman, when Chen Yu sent someone to not allow her to go back to Fuzhou, she was sad for a long time, and her low mood and poor health caused her to live like hell in those months, and finally came over, and her body gradually improved under the care of her mother.

But I didn't expect that when she was no longer hopeful, Chen Jingyun said that he wanted to marry her! This made her a little unacceptable for a while.

"Well, really, but the scale won't be too big, and then it's time to invite a few relatives and friends to get together!" This Chen Jingyun can't help it, he is marrying his aunt's wife, not marrying an official wife, this etiquette scale cannot be compared with when he married Lin Yun. And it's best to keep a low profile for this aunt's wife, so as not to let those people make irresponsible remarks, after all, although the current marriage law does not prohibit marrying an aunt's wife, it is still monogamous in nature.

Chen Jingyun brought her this good mood, Dong Bai's ate a little more when he ate at night, and the joy on his face was not concealed at all, seeing that Dong Bai's mood was good, his Chen Jingyun's mood was also much better. Bring happiness and laughter to your own women, and you will be happy.

The next day, Chen Jingyun took Dong Baishi out early in the morning, and today is the ceremony for the navy to hold a new ship into service, and Chen Jingyun is going to preside over it in person. As for taking Dong Bai's with him, he just wanted to take her to the port to blow the wind, and casually let her see those warships to satisfy her curiosity, but on this kind of formal occasion, Dong Bai's is still not very convenient to stay with him publicly, so they just set off together, and when they arrive at the port, Dong Bai's will be accompanied by someone to watch by themselves, and he, Chen Jingyun, is to preside over the induction ceremony.

Today, there are no strong winds and waves on the sea surface of Shanghai, and the clear sky is a little majestic, which is a charming scene in early summer. After separating from Dong Baishi, Chen Jingyun went straight to the Feihong, this Feihong training cruiser is the largest tonnage warship in this commissioning ceremony, with a displacement of more than 2,400 tons compared to the other five gunboats and five destroyers and several small gunboats in service, as for the other two British cruisers of about the same size as the Feihong, they have not yet returned, and after many negotiations, the Nationalist Army made additional payments, and the British side agreed to use the recovery bond as the payment for the ship, although this negotiation has been successful. However, it will take several months for the two training cruisers to return, and the navy, in order to show off, cannot wait for the two ships to return before holding the commissioning ceremony, so the two ships will not be able to catch up with the commissioning ceremony this time.

On the Feihong, Sa Zhenbing and other naval generals were already waiting for Chen Jingyun, and after seeing Chen Jingyun and several other military and political dignitaries coming with them, they hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.

"Commander!" Sa Zhenbing came over and walked to Chen Jingyun's side, today's Sa Zhenbing was wearing a navy blue vice admiral dress, and the two gold stars on the yellow epaulettes were extremely dazzling in the sun, and behind him, there were a group of admirals, all of whom were also wearing navy blue naval dresses, wearing swords, and a few people were also wearing double sword medals on their chests.

In addition to Sa Zhenbing, Cheng Biguang, Yu Wentao, Lin Yingqi, Wen Ting, and these old faces, there are also new faces such as Rear Admiral Li He, principal of the Nanjing Naval Academy, Rear Admiral Lan Tingshu, director of the General Staff Department of the Navy Department, and Rear Admiral Lin Baoze, director of the General Affairs Department of the Navy Department. At the beginning of the establishment of the Navy Department under the Nationalist Army, there were only a few old gunboats, and then successively accepted the warships that the Beiyang Navy defected from, especially in the Southern Jiangsu War, most of the main ships of the Navy announced that they would surrender to the Nationalist Army, so that most of the main ships of the Chinese Navy were concentrated in the Fuzhou fleet, and later when Chen Jingyun and Yuan Shikai negotiated, Yuan Shikai was deeply disappointed in the Navy so he simply gave up the Navy and let Chen Jingyun accept the warships ordered by the former Qing Dynasty. Even the Navy was allowed to maintain the status quo and no longer pursue the mutiny.
