The person sent to Fuzhou by Cai Ye in Yunnan was his personal representative Cui Lun in Shanghai, who also dealt with Yu Shifeng when he was in Shanghai, and talked mostly about the peace talks between the north and the south.

Several influential governors in the south, including Cai Yi, Chen Jingyun, Lu Rongting, and Tan Yanhong, maintained a near-unanimous tone on the issue of the north-south peace talks, that is, the Qing emperor must abdicate and then start peace talks, and oppose the Northern Expedition advocated by Sun Wen some time earlier. The reason why these people were able to form a unified argument was inseparable from the Shanghai Governor's Congress.

Although it is said that most of the members of the Shanghai Governor's Council had gone to Hubei and then to Nanjing to form and reorganize the provincial congresses, several of the governors had left their personal representatives in Shanghai, and the personal representatives of these governors were like microphones for various powerful figures in the south, carrying out secret exchanges. Some time ago, Yang Du secretly came to Shanghai to get in touch with them, so as to negotiate with the governors of various places in the south about their actual surnames. On the other hand, Yuan Shikai began formal peace talks with Nanjing only after he received the support of the southern governors and the promise of President Da Da.

Now that the peace talks are coming to an end, there is no need for the so-called private representative meeting of the Shanghai Governor to continue, not only Chen Jingyun has transferred Yu Shifeng back, but even several other governors have also transferred their henchmen back.

However, this Cui Lun did not return to Yunnan as soon as possible, but transferred to Fuzhou, and brought Chen Jingyun a handwritten letter from Cai Yi.

Cai Yi's letter is not full of nonsense like Sun Wen, nor is there a variety of promises and praises like Yuan Shikai, the whole letter of only more than 300 words in addition to congratulating Chen Jingyun on his new marriage, the rest is all worried, the letter said: "Although the peace talks between the north and the south are decided today, but the provinces have become self-reliant, and the military will be in power for a long time, and there will be a big disaster!" ”

In the end, Chen Jingyun was invited: "When the Republic of China is established, I am willing to resign from the position of governor with my brother, and set an example for the whole country and not interfere in politics!" ”

When he saw this letter, Chen Jingyun didn't know how to describe his feelings, and he had to say that Cai Yi's mind was very good and very naïve. Chen Jingyun also agrees with the sentence that soldiers don't interfere in politics, but in these years, there are not tens of thousands of guns in his hands, and no one listens or speaks.

After reading the letter, Chen Jingyun said to Cui Lun: "Mr. Cai's feelings for the common people make me ashamed!" However, I wonder what your governor thinks of the current situation in the country? ”

Cui Lun, as a personal representative, also received a certain amount of authorization from Cai Ye before he came, and some things could not be said, but some things could be said: "A few days ago, the telegram sent by the governor of my family was quite worried about the domestic situation! ”

Cui Lun's speed of speech was not fast: "Although the overall situation of the north-south peace talks has been decided, and there is news from the north that the Qing emperor will announce his abdication in the near future, but in fact, the conflict between the north and the south has not ended!" The military confrontation between the Beiyang Army and the Nanjing side will not end, and may even intensify! ”

Chen Jingyun said: "Mr. Cai's vision is rarely matched in China, since he can see this kind of problem, he must also think of the reunification in the future." ”

Chen Jingyun continued: "The end of the North-South peace talks is the beginning of Beiyang's reunification of China, but I wonder what Mr. Cai will do when the time comes. ”

Cui Lun said: "Commander Chen, you have also read the letter, my family governor is ready to resign from the post of governor in exchange for the peaceful reunification of the country." Today, I came to Fuzhou to persuade Commander Chen to resign from the post of governor on the orders of my governor! ”

Hearing this, Chen Jingyun smiled: "If this is said by others, I may hear it as a joke, but it is another thing to say it from your mouth." Of course, my resignation with Mr. Cai can be exchanged for the peaceful reunification of Yunnan and Fujian, but what about the rest of the south? Mr. Sun in Sichuan, Hunan, Guangdong, and even Nanjing, who are willing to give up the army in their hands? ”

Cui Lun said: "My family governor said, looking at the southern provinces, only Fujian and Yunnan have a strong war, and the others are not worrying about Nanjing, Hunan, or Hubei!" ”

Chen Jingyun said: "Well, why can't we think about it from a different angle, why should I, Fujian, fight against reunification?" Why can't we support the central government? At that time, as long as the central government gives an order, the whole of our Fujian National Army can fight to the death for the country. ”

Chen Jingyun didn't want to talk nonsense, and said directly: "Presumably you also know that Yu Shifeng has talked to Yang Du in Shanghai, and you should have talked to Yang Du, although I don't know what agreement Yunnan and Beiyang have reached, and I don't know what position Mr. Cai can hold in the central government after resigning as the governor at that time, but I can tell you directly that Beibian is ready to let me continue to be the governor of Fujian!" ”

Cui Lun's face changed slightly after hearing this: "Commander Chen has already decided to support the central government?" ”

Chen Jingyun nodded!

Cui Lun's face was overjoyed: "Okay! As long as Fujian and Yunnan join hands to support the central government, the other southern provinces will not have to worry. China's unification is expected! ”

Hearing him say this, Chen Jingyun really didn't know what to say! From the perspective of the country and the nation, Cai Yi's ideas and practices are correct, and in his opinion and many others, since the republic has been established, the next thing should be peaceful reunification, development of people's livelihood, and so on.

For this goal, Cai Ye even decided to give up the position of governor and prepare to serve in Yuan Shikai's cabinet, and was also ready to persuade Chen Jingyun to resign together.

Looking at Cai Yi's current attitude, even if he does not resign at that time, he will support the Central Committee with all his might, whether this Central Committee is Sun Wen's or Yuan Shikai's, in history, Cai Yi resolutely opposed the second revolution launched by Sun Wen, believing that Sun Wen's revolutionary party had destroyed the republic and should be regarded as a public enemy of the whole country. However, after Yuan Shikai became emperor, he thought that Yuan Shikai had destroyed the republic, and then returned to Yunnan to organize the Northern Expedition, forcing Yuan Shikai to give up the title of emperor and forcing Yuan Shikai to death.

From the uprising to his death, Cai Ye was almost always working hard for the word republic, and Chen Jingyun thought that he couldn't catch up with the horse.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to make Chen Jingyun give up power and the army.

After Cui Lun said goodbye to Chen Jingyun, he immediately sent a telegram to Cai Yi in Yunnan, and soon after he received a call back from Cai Jie, the telegram said: "Since Chen Jingyun has made up his mind, it is better to leave a way back for the southern republic!" ”

After meeting so many people in a hurry before marriage, I also ushered in the official marriage.

On December 17 of the year of Xinhai, Chen Jingyun and Lin Yun officially held their wedding, although the guests present were all powerful people, but the number was not large, and there were only about 500 people who were fortunate enough to be able to attend the wedding, of which nearly 100 were local military and political dignitaries and their families in Fujian, 20 or 30 were foreign consuls from various countries in Fuzhou, and 40 or 50 were representatives or relatives sent by military and political dignitaries from various provinces, and the rest were relatives and friends from both sides.

The Chen family is a big family in Fuzhou, and there are many children, so it is natural that many people come to attend the wedding. However, there were fewer people from the Lin Mansion, and only seven or eight people came to the Lin family's main family in Yanjing.

The wedding started with the traditional greeting of relatives, but instead of Huaqiao, more than ten Ford cars, that is, T-type cars, were specially ordered by other rooms in the Chen Mansion for Chen Jingyun's wedding, three of which were specially customized models, mainly to increase the defensive surname and prevent assassination. For this batch of wedding cars alone, including the cost and freight, Chen Fu spent more than 100,000 yuan. If this amount of money is paid with the money of the military and political axes, it will be scolded by people. In order to avoid this situation, Chen Jingyun has already stated that the wedding is a personal and private matter, and all the expenses required will be borne by him, and he will never spend a penny on the military and political axe.

Although the cost of the wedding did not cost the military and political axe, but in fact, the military and political axe for Chen Jingyun's wedding expenses are not low, for example, in order to maintain the order of the wedding and ensure the safety of Chen Jingyun and his wife during the wedding, the guard division began martial law two days ago, and on the day of the wedding, the wedding car convoy passed by and the surrounding area of the church where the wedding was held were emptied, and then the people from the military and political axe Ministry of Foreign Affairs were also busy receiving guests and so on.

When Chen Jingyun looked at Lin Yun walking towards him in a wedding dress, he had a very strange feeling in his heart, a sense of belonging or a sense of reality.

Since he found out that he was possessed by Chen Jingyun, he has always had an unreal, even game-friendly mentality. Although he has become the governor of Fujian and has tens of thousands of troops under his command, Chen Jingyun is already full of strangeness to this era.

Sometimes he thinks he's really playing a strategy game instead of living a real life.

However, seeing the happy smile behind Lin Yun's veil today made Chen Jingyun feel a sense of reality that he had not seen for a long time, as if what he had lived until today was real.

Holding her hand, Chen Jingyun whispered: "You are so beautiful today!" ”

In a church that doesn't know what denomination it is, under the auspices of a pastor who doesn't know what denomination it is, Chen Jingyun fulfilled his promise to Lin Yun: "In this life, we will never give up!" ”

Lin Yun had tears in her eyes, but she couldn't speak, so she could only nod and nod again.

At the wedding banquet in the following evening, even if Chen Jingyun was the governor of a province, he was inevitably poured a lot of wine, especially the generals under him, all of them were barrel-like people, although they didn't dare to go too far because of their identity, but Chen Jingyun couldn't stand it when one person and a small cup came over.

Chen Jingsheng and Yu Ruofei and other groomsmen who accompanied him had already prepared, and the next toasts were blocked one by one, and if they couldn't stop it, they poured boiled water on Chen Jingyun's wine glass, and the wine and water looked the same transparent, anyway, no one dared to check whether Chen Jingyun was drinking wine. After such a wedding banquet, Chen Jingyun was not drunk, Chen Jingsheng, Yu Ruofei and others had already drunk and collapsed.

His head was a little dizzy, Chen Jingyun broke free and retreated from the crowd, intending to leave for a while to be sober and sober. If you continue to stay, you may be able to get really drunk, and it is not a good thing for the governor of a province to get drunk and go crazy when the time comes.

As I walked, I felt a little lightheaded, and even my eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and I seemed to be unable to open them.

Walking and walking, suddenly a black shadow flashed in front of him, and then he bumped into it, it seemed to be loaded with someone, and he could hear a soft moan, opened his eyes and tried to look, only to see a woman in a purple dress rubbing her forehead, Chen Jingyun took a closer look, and felt that this woman was a little familiar, as if she had seen it there, and then a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind and remembered that this was not the woman he saw in Hongfu a few days ago, why did she also come to her wedding today.

Just as Chen Jingyun was waiting for him to ask something, there was a voice behind him: "Young Master!" ”

The woman was obviously a little panicked, and then took a few steps back in a row and walked quickly, Chen Jingyun was about to shout a few times, Luo Li didn't know where to get out of the corner.

"Young master, I've found you!"
