Chapter 151 Great News
After this battle, Yuan Datou had been devastated. When he heard the conditions, he felt it was not as bad as he had expected.
He thought the other party would ask him not to proclaim himself emperor, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't write this at all.
So he pretended to hesitate for a moment and readily accepted all the conditions.
In fact, he was happy too early. The reason why the rule of not being allowed to declare himself emperor was not written on the list was because Luo Jiu was afraid that if it was written, he would not declare himself emperor.
If he didn't declare himself emperor, what reason could he have for killing him? Why was it so easy to find a plausible excuse?
She sincerely hoped that he thought she didn't care, and he could declare himself emperor with confidence and boldly. Then Luo Jiu would have a reason to lead his troops into Beijing and overthrow the Beiyang government.
In the end, Mei Zonggu signed the Zhenjiang peace agreement on behalf of the Beiyang government.
The next day, all the troops stationed in Anhui Province retreated southward, and the National Salvation Army captured another province without bloodshed.
At this time, the National Salvation Army controlled five provinces, including Shandong, Hebei, Henan, Anhui, and Jiangsu, and continued to recruit soldiers and grow stronger.
In Luo Jiu's opinion, the conscription work can be carried out in an orderly manner, but other tasks are complicated.
At this time, the general social environment was still in the evil old society. There were countless things that needed to be reformed, and they needed to lead a major change a hundred years ahead of time.
At the same time, the construction of spiritual civilization within the military must be built from the foundation, so that the entire army must understand why they are fighting and for whom they are fighting.
Every thing, no matter how small, requires a lot of effort, because many ideas seemed too advanced at the time.
In the early days of the Republic of China, when people were asked to cut their braids, many people were angry. Now that the National Salvation Army does not allow foot binding, many feudal fathers are so angry that they jump up and curse at home.
As for foot binding, it continues to be practiced despite repeated bans.
In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures must be used.
Luo Jiu said: "In that case, why not just issue a strict order that if any daughter binds her feet, her father will be killed.
As the head of the family, I don't believe that he can make the decision on matters concerning a foot."
As Luo Jiu was talking, Zhong Jialing came out excitedly and told her, "Ninth sister is awake!"
Luo Jiu was stunned, "Great!"
Zhu Jiumei really had a narrow escape this time. She slept in the space for three days and three nights and finally woke up.
Luo Jiu asked her to rest in the space for a while and come out after she recovered.
Zhu Jiumei is a strong-willed person. When she hears that there is a lot of chaos outside, how can she stay idle?
Finally, it was decided to let her come out during the day, and if her physical condition allowed, cooperate with some publicity and interview work, and go to the space to rest at night and continue to heal her injuries.
Luo Jiu weighed the matter at hand and said to Zhong Jialing: "The army will stay here to rest and train, and we will take some intellectuals back to Licheng.
Call Sister Qi back as well. We need to study carefully the various governance tasks within the jurisdiction.”
Zhong Jialing sighed silently and thought: You can handle this matter yourself. If you ask Sister Qi and I to go back, I'm afraid we can only be there to make up the numbers.
But the four people hadn't seen each other for several days. When they reunited victoriously, Feng Qi let them all hang on him and took the three of them for more than ten rounds.
Luo Jiuzhuan felt dizzy and his head spun. Cheng Yaoyao held onto a chair and said, "I received some great news last night. I waited for you to arrive today so I could tell you in person."
Feng Qi asked hurriedly: "What's the good news?"
Cheng Yaoyao smiled and said, "Yi Dali took the initiative to withdraw his troops. He is the first country to respond to our request and take the initiative to withdraw his troops."
Luo Jiu held his chin and remained silent for several seconds. He couldn't believe that there was an enemy that could be scared away by just being scared, but when he thought it was Yi Dali, he felt it made sense.
Cheng Yaoyao said with a smile: "I guess they saw the news that 6,000 Ying soldiers in Ying Concession were annihilated in the battle of Zhenjiang, and they weighed their own 3,000 Yi troops and fled overnight.
Before they left, they sent us a reply letter saying that they only received 30 million taels of silver as compensation, and they would repay us 300,000 taels of silver every year over a hundred years.
Zhong Jialing rolled her eyes. "Why doesn't he pay back the 30 million over several years? He can just pay back one or two a year."
Luo Jiu smiled and waved his hand, "Forget it, let's not bother with him about this for now. It's just a small country, and it will be more comfortable to take it back when we conquer Ouzhou.
It's just that the foreign devils have such a stupid teammate, which is really a blessing for us. Contact Editor-in-Chief Shao and make sure to publicize this matter."
Before he finished speaking, the phone rang. It was Shao Li calling.
He said he wanted to bring a friend to meet them and asked them not to refuse.
Today's "Republic Daily" is no different from the internal publication of the National Salvation Army. The National Salvation Army's ability to obtain massive public opinion support across the country is inseparable from the strong support of Editor-in-Chief Shao. Luo Jiu and others naturally agreed.
Sure enough, in the afternoon, Editor-in-Chief Shao came in with a man in a suit and a top hat.
The brim of his hat was pulled down so low that his face could not be seen for a moment.
When Shao Li saw them, he asked, "Is it convenient to talk here?"
Seeing that he was so mysterious, Luo Jiu asked several secretaries to leave and closed the door.
The man took off his hat, and Shao Li introduced: "You may not have seen it, this is our revolutionary party's..."
"I know." Luo Jiu stood up straight involuntarily and faced this character in the history book with respect.
She took the initiative to extend her hand, "Sir, have you returned to your country?"
The other party held her hand and said with a smile: "Yes, I am ashamed that I failed in my campaign against Yuan Shikai and had to leave the country in a hurry.
Now that I've heard that you've done such a great thing in the country, I can't wait to come and see it with my own eyes.
Is it safe here? I am the one Yuan Datou wants to kill."
Luo Jiu hurriedly said: "We are too, but please rest assured, sir, it is absolutely safe here. You can do anything you want in our jurisdiction."
The gentleman said, "I have ventured here this time for the sake of the fate of the country, to discuss important matters with you."
This sudden meeting made Luo Jiu feel a little excited.
Cheng Yaoyao hurriedly made tea and asked the two to go into the inner room to discuss important matters in secret.
After everyone went in, Cheng Yaoyao took Editor-in-Chief Shao to another room to rest. Zhong Jialing looked at Feng Qi, who looked confused, and asked, "Do you know who he is?"
Feng Qi: "I was thinking, it looks familiar."
Zhong Jialing curled her lips and said three words, and Feng Qi suddenly realized, "Oh my god, it's him."
"There's such a big photo in the textbook, have you forgotten it?"
Feng Qi scratched his head. "I have some impression, but I just remember that I drew a big beard for him. He doesn't look like him at all."
Zhong Jialing and Feng Qi were laughing outside, but the atmosphere in the inner room was extremely solemn.
The gentleman got straight to the point, "I want to ask Commander Luo a question..."
Luo Jiu hurriedly said: "Call me Luo Jiu, I really can't bear you to call me that."
"Okay, Luo Jiu. I want to ask you, is your anti-Yuan and anti-imperialist stance firm and unchangeable?"
Luo Jiu said firmly: "I will never change. No matter how the situation changes in the future, I will firmly defeat imperialism and will not coexist with these powerful countries.
Yuan Datou is their running dog and a stumbling block to the country's progress. I will definitely get rid of him, but I just have to wait for the right time."
The gentleman nodded, "In that case, why don't you become president yourself and form a new government?"
