The news of Yuan Datou's death quickly spread throughout the entire Huaxia. Other than the 11th division, the Northern Army began to split up. Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang, and the others were all returning to their own territories. Compared to the original history, it was even more chaotic.
Among them, Duan Qirui was supported by the Japanese and obtained the provinces of Anhui, Shaanxi, and Shandong. Feng Guozhang was supported by the United Kingdom and the United States and obtained the provinces of Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Hubei, and Zhili. In addition, Tang Jiyao in Yunnan and Lu Rongting in Guangxi were in constant war.
As for Zhang Zuolin, who was outside the pass, he had become the number one faction in China. Once he sent his troops south, no one would be able to resist the warlords in the south!
As for Lu Yongxiang from Zhejiang, he had submitted to Duan Qirui. Duan Qirui's Wan faction was now in control of the central government!
Although the local warlords were all independent, they all belonged to the Republic of China and did not blindly establish a country.
Just like the current Quzhou autonomous union, it also belonged to the government of the Republic of China. In the face of the world's powers, the Republic of China was still an independent sovereign country, but internally, it was independent.
In the direction of Europe, the scale of victory in the First World War was gradually tilting in the favor of the allied countries. There was news that the US government wanted to participate in the First World War because of the debts of the European countries, giving the US hope of replacing the United Kingdom as the world's number one country.
Although the United States was the world's largest industrial country, the main currency of world trade was still made up of British pounds. As for the trading volume of US dollars, it was increasing in an orderly manner.
(In 1894, the total industrial output of the United States surpassed that of the United Kingdom for the first time. It was only in the United Kingdom, not including the vast overseas colonies of the United Kingdom!）
It couldn't be helped. As an old empire, England had the most colonies in the world, and the circulation of the pound had reached an appalling level.
If the United States wanted to expand the influence of the US dollar, it had to make the European powers acknowledge its position as the center of the world economy in this global war.
Beijing's Dongjiao Min Alley was the gathering place of the foreign countries 'embassy in China. The death of Yuan Datou also made the foreign countries change their relationship with China.
They were looking for a new representative to continue maintaining the interests of the countries in the Far East.
The final decision of the three ambassadors was to maintain a neutral attitude towards the remaining high-ranking members of the Northern Warlords. Whoever could enter the capital would continue to be supported and elected as the new representative of China!
"Minister Du Weidian, the M Nation agrees to this decision. A stable Far East region will guarantee our interests in China!”
The British envoy to China, Du Weidian, had a good relationship with Yuan Datou in private. He obviously had his own views on the upcoming chaos.
In his opinion, after Yuan Datou's death, it would be Duan Qirui, Wu Peifu, Feng Guozhang, and Zhang Zuolin's business. Among them, Zhang Zuolin controlled three provinces outside the Pass and had more than 200,000 troops. He was indeed a first-class warlord.
However, his relationship with the Japanese was too deep. On the other hand, the three northeastern provinces were too restrained by Russia and the Japanese. Zhang Zuolin could not enter the pass in a short period of time. As for the other three, Du Weidian was more optimistic about Duan Qirui.
In Quzhou, it was Chinese New Year's Eve. After today, it was a new year. Chu Tianyun saw many children at the entrance of his Chu Residence. They were all carefully lighting fireworks in the alley.
Then, a small spark lit up and a small wisp of white smoke appeared. Two children with braids and newly sewn cotton-padded jackets covered their ears with their hands and quickly ran away.
Chu Tianyun stood at the entrance with a smile on his face. Although there was no Spring Festival Gala, Quzhou City was bustling with activity. Some merchants from Quzhou had joined forces and invited a local troupe to perform.
The smell of meat gradually spread in the air. It was much stronger than in previous years. Because Chu Tianyun had distributed some pork before the new year, some poor farmers could eat more pork. With Chu Tianyun's current ability, he could prepare dozens of big fat pigs.
Not far away, the sound of firecrackers continued. Suddenly, another dragon dance team passed by the entrance of the Chu Manor. Many children and children from the industrial and commercial class gathered around.
Many people knew Chu Tianyun. They greeted him when they passed by the entrance of the Chu Residence.
"Young Master, Madam is asking you to go home for New Year's Eve dinner!”
Xiao Yu, whose face was red, stood quietly at the side, rubbing her hands together and breathing hot air from her mouth.
"Okay, I'll go back now!"
Xiao Yu walked to Chu Tianyun's side, held his arm, and pulled him into the house.
"Young Master, Madam personally cooked today. She cooked a table full of dishes. Young Master will definitely like it.”
Indeed, Chu Tianyun had just entered the house when he saw the sumptuous dishes. Miss Chen was busy with her apron.
"Mother, today's New Year's Eve dinner is really priceless. There's only one such meal in the world!”
Miss Chen was amused by Chu Tianyun's words. This son of his now loved to make her happy.
Outside the door, there was still a thick layer of snow. Chu Tianyun thought of Kong Yiji for some reason. Perhaps in this time and space, there was also a Kong Yiji who stole books and sold them in exchange for wine!
"Young Master, who is this Kong Yiji you're talking about?”
"He's a scholar, a very awesome scholar!”
Chu Tianyun smiled mischievously. He had forgotten, he had forgotten. Looking at her flushed little face, he suddenly thought of Miss Lin!
After the new year, Miss Lin would return to Shanghai to study.
"Young Master, Old Madam said that the weather is cold and asked you to wear more clothes at night!”
At the entrance of the Chu Manor, Xiao Yu, who was wearing a red cotton-padded jacket, helped Chu Tianyun put on a new cotton coat. She looked like an unmarried daughter-in-law.
After that, Chu Tianyun also left the Chu Manor. He still had to go to the military camp. After all, the conscription would be carried out immediately next spring. The capital that Chu Tianyun used to rise up was the 1st regiment, which was about to be expanded into two infantry divisions.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:05320181:57PM
