Chapter Nine, Sudden Turmoil

Upon witnessing this situation, a certain lady at the pinnacle of power let a barely perceptible cold smile slip across her lips

The Seventeenth Division today is not what it was three years ago; it has already taken root deeply in Shandong. In such matters, if one is not careful, it is difficult to ensure that these soldiers will not immediately take themselves out to be executed. As for the four prominent families of Jiaodong, that is still a very distant matter and does not require attention at this time. Moreover, more than one-third of the members of parliament have been deliberately cultivated by Liu Jingxiao.

The Presidential Office, the National Assembly, the Political Affairs Hall, the heads of various ministries, the inspectors, the provincial military governors, the provincial governors, the provincial assemblies, the military governors of special districts, the garrison commanders, and the commanders of various divisions and brigades, are to forward this to Chen Yunshuai in Baoding, Commander Mo in Guangdong, Ms. Shen in Shanghai, Principal Jiang in Beijing, and Mr. Hu in Hangzhou for their reference, and to circulate it to major newspapers across the country: Military Governor Lin Baihe of Jiaodong...

After much contemplation, Xu Qiaozhi finally lifted a corner of the red veil and discovered that the bridesmaids had already drawn back the sedan chair's curtain. Before her eyes stood rows upon rows of men, each wielding long spears and exuding a fierce aura, standing in perfect formation.

Similar voices occasionally echoed in the parliament, as the rebellion in Jiaodong stirred strong indignation among the numerous members. The usually inefficient provincial assembly surprisingly passed thirteen bills in rapid succession (though in the eyes of those involved, it seemed to be the credit of the soldiers' gleaming bayonets outside)

Yang Linji observed the newly published newspaper today in a manner that suggested he was anticipating something

Since the time of the bandit Liu, there has been a reversal of proper conduct, rampant debauchery, and the enjoyment of forcibly taking women as a pastime, with crimes so numerous they are beyond enumeration... Xu Qiaozhi recognized this as the voice of her father-in-law, Lin Baihe, the current head of the Lin family, but after hearing just two sentences, her mind went blank.

Cousin, you can take a look yourself

Just as she was thinking, a familiar voice made Xu Qiao Zhi so delighted that she almost jumped up

The Jiaodong Temporary Martial Law Act has been passed

Yang Linyi's eyes immediately lit up: "Really?"

Although there are some interactions in business with the four prominent families of Jiaodong, and even some clandestine dealings, the life of the esteemed member of parliament is of utmost importance

Immediately following was a thunderous echo, wave after wave, so startling that the bridesmaid let go of the bridal curtain. In Xu Qiaozhi's ears, a single voice repeatedly resounded: "Defeat the traitor Liu Jingxiao!"

However, upon further reflection, it seemed inappropriate. The four prominent families of Jiaodong have always been closely connected, sharing both honor and disgrace. My father-in-law, Lin Baihe, has always been wise and capable, and would never engage in such self-destructive actions.

Is it really beautiful

Xu Qiaozhi felt a sudden shock in her heart. She had read numerous historical texts during her studies and was aware of various intrigues and power struggles. Could it be that the Lin family intended to monopolize Jiaodong and take this opportunity to undermine the Xu family?

Regardless, Xu Qiaozhi threw herself into her husband's embrace, feeling the broadness of his chest. After a long while, she noticed that Lin Yichen had changed into military attire, a light yellow uniform adorned with splendid medals and golden epaulettes, which was dazzling under the sunlight... How she wished her husband were not wearing this outfit, but rather a black tailcoat to come and marry her... How she wished her husband were not wearing this outfit, but rather a black tailcoat to come and marry her...

But after Yi Chen took a few steps, Xu Qiao Zhi called her husband back, handing him a jade hairpin: "Yi Chen, Qiao Zhi will always be yours. This jade hairpin represents Qiao Zhi's companionship by your side. Seeing the hairpin is like seeing Qiao Zhi's face. Also, please write more letters to Qiao Zhi..."

Yicheng! ... Could it be ... ... that you are deceiving me as well? ... ... ... To promise "Marry me" ... is it merely a pretext to seize power under the guise of my wedding? ... ...

What happened

Facing the mirror, she adorned herself with flowers and yellow, transforming into a graceful figure. She wondered whether Yichen would like it. The mere thought of Yichen filled Xu Qiaozhi's heart with a warm sensation, enveloping her in a feeling of happiness.

As soon as the spokesperson finished speaking, a pre-arranged member of parliament immediately came forward to support: "The Jiaodong region has launched a full-scale armed rebellion, leading to a resurgence of violence, causing the people to suffer, and losing the support of the populace. Director Shen, we, along with Commander Liu and General Ding, are willing to quell the rebellion."

However, unlike the members of parliament under the bayonet, their loyalty is impeccable, as they have no other choices or * diagrams *; the 17th Division is everything to them. After countless battles in military formations, they have earned their current status. The four major families of Jiaodong rebelled, and they were the first to bear the brunt. It is precisely for this reason that they can be so resolute, even disregarding the backlash from the members of parliament, because even without the support of these members, they have one final move: to dissolve the parliament

Elder brother, look! This is the electricity notice sent from Shandong, just received.

Since the time of the treachery of Liu, there has been resentment from heaven and anger from the people, resulting in the harm of loyal and virtuous individuals

We can be considered childhood sweethearts, having grown up together. My sisters all say that my husband is the most charming man of the Lin family generation. Not only is he exceptionally handsome and graceful, but at just over twenty years old, he already commands thousands of strong men, with a bright future ahead

The Jiaodong Punitive Expedition Act has been passed

Defeat the Four Great Traitors of Jiaodong

Shandong Provincial Assembly

Moreover, her husband is deeply affectionate towards her; which sister does not envy this, and who does not praise them as a match made in heaven? Among the four prominent families of Jiaodong, the Lin family is at the forefront, while the Xu family is at the tail end. Countless delicate and intelligent daughters have set their sights on her husband, yet he, for her sake, has unknowingly offended many, shattered numerous pots and jars, and endured countless trials before finally marrying her.

A figure rushed into the hall, breathless, and shouted loudly: "Brother Yang, there has been a rebellion in Jiaodong!"

Lin Yichen paused every three steps, exchanging deep gazes with Xu Qiaozhi. Though their feelings ran as deep as the ocean, parting was inevitable. Once Lin Yichen's figure completely vanished from sight, tears streamed down Xu Qiaozhi's face, unstoppable.

"The call to arms against Liu Ni... the cheers came in waves, waking the engaged couple. Lin Yichen's face was filled with regret as he pointed into the distance and said: 'Xiaozhi, I must return to the regiment immediately. As soon as the conference concludes, my regiment will have to set off first..."

My dear cousin, today no one shines more brilliantly than you

Beijing. Yang Mansion

Unanimously passed the mobilization order

Although the spokesperson has a strikingly beautiful face, after years of interaction with her, the members of the assembly have long understood what a strong-willed person she is. Moreover, her cold tone, the oppressive atmosphere, coupled with the soldiers outside exuding a menacing aura, instantly lowered the temperature in the room to an extreme.

Just as I was thinking, I suddenly heard a loud shout: "Down with the traitor Liu Jingxiao!"

On September 27, 92 of the Republic, the Four Great Families of Jiaodong took advantage of a marriage alliance to suddenly send a telegram nationwide, announcing the mobilization to attack Liu Jingxiao

Xiao Zhi... you listen to me... I am sorry... I just found out... I just changed into this outfit... I did not mean to... Lin Yichen was completely unlike his usual eloquent self, stuttering as he spoke, but upon hearing this, Xu Qiaozhi felt an indescribable sweetness in her heart. She covered Lin Yichen's mouth with her delicate hand and leaned into his embrace

Cousin! Cousin! Xu Qiaozhi, lost in memories and happiness, took a long time to react, only to realize that the sounds of the suona, firecrackers, and the bustling crowd that had accompanied her all along had vanished without a trace. Apart from the concerned calls of the bridesmaids, everything seemed silent.

The man and woman were completely immersed in their own little world, paying no attention whatsoever to the grandiose declarations of Lin Baihe in the distance: "We, for the millions of people in Shandong, are determined to follow the will of heaven, united as one among the four great families of Jiaodong, to campaign against Liu Ni..."

Xu Qiaozhi had once heard her husband say that his regiment was considered the best among the self-defense forces in Jiaodong, with more than 2,700 members, well-equipped and well-trained. However, she now secretly complained that her husband should not be in charge of this regiment, as it might lead to him being stationed there. Yet, she pretended to be indifferent, saying: "Yichen, go early and come back early... Qiaozhi is waiting for you..."

Xiao Zhi! Xiao Zhi!" Xu Qiao Zhi quickly pulled off the veil, and the bridesmaid had already lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, revealing her husband with an awkward smile in front of her

Nian Nian

She still holds an unused trump card. Just before coming to the parliament, a group of the highest-ranking officers from Shandong, all dressed in crisp military uniforms, expressed their loyalty to her and to the person she holds in her heart
