The Ethics of the Beiyang Era (307): Surprise No, Surprise.
In the history of Beiyang, the chaotic and chaotic world of "a soldier is the king of grass heads", and the warlords of "one crab is not as good as one crab" are flying and wandering, and they are not mighty. However, in the tide of the turbulent times, the warlords are mostly happy in the grass, starting from scratch, and there is absolutely no conditions and capital for "Ya Nei", of course, there is no need to hide who his father is, as to whether the old man can "rely on his father and son" also depends on the creation, after all, the warlord is easy to do, his father is difficult. For example, Zhang Zuolin, the "King of the Northeast" and Yan Xishan, the "King of Shanxi", the old men of the two, Chen Yanshu and Yan Shutang, are not even if they follow their sons. Chen Yanshu originally belonged to a typical rich and noble family, the official to the prefect, the wealth is rich, because of the good heart to accept Zhang Zuolin as a righteous son, did not expect Zhang Zuolin is a "potential stock", Chen Yanshu hung up the crown and asked to resign in his hometown for seven years, Zhang Zuolin climbed from an insignificant guard captain, climbed to the top of the Fengtian chair, became the "Fengtian Overseer and Inspector General".
Subsequently, the smoke of the expulsion of meng Enyuan, the governor of Jilin Province, was dissipated, and Zhang Zuolin was appointed as the "Inspector of the Three Northeastern Provinces" and became a veritable "King of the Northeast". In the same year, one of Chen Yanshu's nephews went to the Fengtian "Grand Marshal's Mansion" to ask to see Zhang Zuolin, and it was clear that he was going to "fight the autumn wind", but the Shuai Mansion was heavily guarded, and naturally outsiders were not allowed to meet him at will, and Chen Yanshu' nephew was also a stubborn child, and he must enter the mansion to meet "Zhang Dashuai", and the guards had to report to Zhang Zuolin. When Zhang Yi heard that the name of Chen Yanshu's nephew was reported, he immediately invited him into the palace, warmly welcomed him, and personally accompanied him. When he learned that his righteous father had died of illness three years ago, Zhang Zuolin could not help but feel a thousand emotions, and he said to Chen Yanshu's nephew: "I can have today's red luck, all rely on the cultivation of my righteous father, and my righteous father is as kind to me as a mountain, and I Zhang Mou will always have a sense of it in my heart!" ”
Although Zhang Zuolin, who had hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command, did not have any shelf at all in front of this Zhang peer, his adoptive father Chen Yanshu did not have the blessing of "one person gets the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven". It was only a little regret that he had not been rewarded with his adopted son, and the encounter with Yan Shutang, Yan Xishan's biological father, made both the old master and Yan Xishan angry. With Yan Xishan's shrewdness, few people can get a bargain with him, but Yan Xishan is a filial piety, and some merchants take the opportunity to beat the old master's idea. Yan Shutang was recuperating in his hometown, and Yan Xishan arranged for the guards to take care of the living, but he did not expect that the merchants of the Foreigner Tobacco Company could not prevent it. First he took a cigarette to level the guards, and then fooled the old man to make a movie, which was actually an advertisement for "Cannon Fort" cigarettes.
In the end, Yan Shutang in the Yan Mansion vegetable field leisurely smoked a cigarette, accompanied by "Yan Commander-in-Chief Gao Tang Yan Ziming Old Mr. Likes to smoke 'Cannon Fort' cigarettes, you can also come to one!" Advertising slogan, Taiyuan City "Cannon" cigarettes began to run out of stock. The old master Yan Shutang suddenly woke up, and Yan Xishan was also "consumed" without compensation with his father. In the final analysis, because there is a sign of Yan Xishan, with the experience of the "tumbler" of the Beiyang Eunuch Sea, there is naturally some discernment about the "warmth" of this kind of needle in the seam, Yan Xishan is not willing to be "hunted", and is familiar with the "gentle traps" that loom between the rivers and lakes and the temple, but Yan Shutang's father is not, and there is a suspicion of pit son, after all, Yan Xishan is not Zhang Zuolin, who became a late master, and his father's surname is Yan is not surnamed Chen.
