Chapter 263 Follow the situation

12 years later, the year of 1911.

Zhou Charter stretched out and walked out of the door. The snow-capped mountains in the Andes came into his eyes. A big river spread silver waves at the foot of the mountain. On the bank of the river, there were fragrant grass and trees.

Zhou Charter took a deep breath. The early morning air was fragrant with wet soil, which was refreshing.

On the lawn outside the door, there are unknown wild flowers, Minxiu wearing overalls, driving a weeding truck and cutting grass on the grass. The car drove for a while, suddenly made two sounds, and broke down. Minxiu was dressed in a cowboy overalls, wearing gloves in his hands, holding a wrench, jumped off the car, drilled under the bottom plate, and began to repair the car. This sensitive embroidery likes to play with Western gadgets. In addition to problems such as weeding trucks, washing machines, bicycles, threshing machines, etc., they never find someone to repair them and do it by themselves. This former Gege is really good, and he can fix it by himself every time.

A school bus slowly drove from a distance and stopped beside the road outside the lawn. Zhao Qiaoer and Jin Shu greeted eight children to get on the car, Mei Lixi's daughter, Zhao Qiaoer's son and daughter, Jin Shu's pair, Liu Yingshu's daughter, and Minxiu's son, Qin Zhen's daughter. Zhao Qiaoer and Jin Shu hurriedly stuffed lunch boxes and kettles into each child's schoolbag until all eight children got on the car, and the two were still nagging by the window of the car.

Meilixi was dressed in a hunting suit, holding a two-ported shotgun in his hand, pulled out two tall horses from the stable, turned around and shouted, "Liu Yingshu, hurry up. You have to hunt deer early. At noon, the deer have hidden deep in the forest!" Liu Yingshu ran out of the room in panic, mixed garlic under her feet, and almost fell down. She cursed: "Last night, that God killed me all night, and now my thighs are not ready!"

Zhou Charter coughed for a while, and Liu Yingshu glanced at Zhou Charter: "You're fine, nothing!"

"You two be careful." Zhou Charter laughed.

"Don't worry! It's time to go to my place tonight. I'll give you deer blood!" Meilixi smiled and jumped on the horse.

"Meilixi, how dare you drink deer blood for him!" Liu Yingshu exclaimed, "If he drinks deer blood, he must swallow you alive!"

"He dares!" Merry Creek laughed and whipped away with Liu Yingshu.

Zhou Charter shook his arm and was about to walk all the way of Taijiquan. Qin Zhen came out of the room: "Charter, Zhao Han came to you last night. What did you think about what she said?"

Zhou Charter said, "The Oriental Princess Zhao Han is a smart person, but she doesn't know how to follow the situation!"

"So you rejected her?"

"It's not a refusal, I just analyzed the general trend of the world for her." Zhou Charter exhaled: "I think she can understand."

Twelve years ago, Zhou Charter's family crossed the ocean and came to the foot of the Andes in North America and settled in a small beautiful village. This is a quiet and peaceful small village. There is a big river in front of the village leading to the sea.

Here, Zhou Charter bought 300 acres of land and built a manor. He farmed and farmed by himself, which was also chic and happy.

The election 12 years ago made Zhou Charter gray. Yuan Shikai and Sun Wen's people exposed Zhou Charter's private life, turning him from a great hero who defeated the great powers to overthrow the Qing court to a playboy who played with women. In just half a month, the support rate of Zhou Charter plummeted.

Zhou Charter also set up a campaign team and hired Oriental Princess Zhao Han and Yoshio Mano as campaign advisers. Zhao Han is familiar with Western-style election procedures. Zhou Charter's campaign platform and strategy were planned by Zhao Han for him. Originally, everything went well. Unexpectedly, the three women in Xiaoxiang shook out Zhou Charter's family affairs, which made Zhou Charter extremely embarrassed.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhao Han suggested that Zhou Charter take out the momentum of breaking the boat and break his wrist, and immediately remove the three ladies and keep only one to save public opinion. Zhao Han warned Zhou Charter that if he was reluctant to give up his wife, his vote rate would not exceed 5%, and he would definitely lose.

When the news came, Zhou Charter's home opened the pot, and none of the four wives wanted to be released from the house and made noise all day long. Mrs. Qin has always been regardless of family affairs, and now she can't sit still. She watches Zhou Charter all day to wipe her tears. Originally, Zhao Qiaoer was a big house, and Zhou Charter will definitely not divorce Zhao Qiaoer. The old lady is kind-hearted, and she can't bear either of them. But for every claim, I have to abide by the Zhou Charter and sigh for a long time.

Finally, the four wives, including the old lady of Qin, formed a united front and issued an ultimatum to Zhou Charter - immediately withdraw from the presidential election, otherwise, he would not need to write a letter of absence, and the wives and the old lady ran away from home together!

Zhou Charter has long been worried about this presidential election. Only now has he found that Western-style democracy is not always a good thing. The democratic election sounds good, but in practice, it has become a mutual exposure. Several candidates have tried their best to dig up the privacy of their opponents. If they continue to dig like this, they are afraid that even Zhou Charter will be exposed to play Shuangfeiyan at home, and his face will be greatly lost.

Therefore, Zhou Charter received the ultimatum from his wives and decided without hesitation to abandon the country and declare his withdrawal from the presidential election. From then on, he will return to the forest and no longer ask about political affairs.

Coincidentally, Zhou Charter sent Yao Xi around to inquire about the news of Zhenfei. At this time, Cui Yugui, who lived in Mentougou, finally couldn't sit still and secretly ran to Wutai Mountain with Lai Chuanwu. It is clear that Zhenfei is on Wutai Mountain. Zhou Charter simply left Beijing with his family, found a quiet place at the foot of Wutai Mountain and lived there.

As expected by Zhou Charter, Cui Yugui and Lai Chuanwu ran to Baiyun Temple. Zhou Charter knew that Minxiu became a monk in Baiyun Temple, and his legal name was Jingchen. Unexpectedly, Zhenfei was also in Baiyun Temple, with the disguised Qin Zhen. Zhou Charter was overjoyed and made Zhang Jun's old brother come to scare the snake, bombard Qin Zhen and Minxiu off the mountain, and then pretended to be bandits and robbed the two women to Zhou Charter's house.

When Zhou Charter saw Minxiu and Qin Zhen, he was also cruel. Damn, Sun Wen's group of people thought that he had too many wives, which was purely jealous. Zhou Charter simply didn't do anything. Didn't you say that I have many wives? I will marry two more rooms. Let you see what you can do with me!

It is also logical for Minxiu to marry Zhou Charter. The two of them were predestined as early as the Tianjin Wubei School. After the publicity of this matter, the whole world knows that Zhou Charter has married Minxiu into the door, and everyone thinks it is a good thing.

It's just that Qin Zhen's business is not easy to do. She used to be the imperial concubine of the Qing Dynasty, and her status is extremely special. Although everyone who knows the inside story has kept their mouth shut, after a long time, no one can guarantee that they will not leak any information. Once her identity is revealed, not only Zhou Charter's life is not easy, but Qin Zhen can't live!

Finally, Zhou Charter decided to cross the sea and go to the United States to settle down.

Zhou Charter's decision was unanimously agreed by the whole family. Qin Zhen was naturally happy and stayed in China as her. The other five ladies also cheered. They knew that if Zhou Charter stayed in China, even if he was not the president, he would not live a quiet life. One day, someone would come to the door and force Zhou Charter to divorce his wife. Moreover, Zhou Charter can't really go to the forest. If something happens in China, Zhang Jun's brothers, government officials, and even ordinary people will come to Zhou Charter to come out of the mountain. Zhou Charter's husbands have experienced hard times. They have long been extremely tired of politics and military affairs. They all want to live a peaceful life and do not want Zhou Charter to go out to fight and kill again. When you go to the United States, you can live in peace.

In this way, Zhou Charter took his whole family to the Andes, found a quiet boundary and settled down.

This residence is 12 years.

For 12 years, life has been smooth. When Zhou Charter left China, Zhang Jun's brothers raised a large amount of money for him, which was enough for him and his family to have no worries about food and clothing. His farm still has a lot of income every year, which is enough for six wives and eight children. Zhou Charter worked on the farm all day. The wives were busy with children, housework, hunting and farming, and lived a peaceful and fulfilling life.

However, yesterday, the Oriental Princess Zhao Han suddenly came to her door, breaking Zhou Charter's peaceful life.

Zhao Han came to invite Zhou Charter to come out of the mountain.

In the year of the lunar calendar, China fell into war again.

Yuan Shikai and Sun Wen started fighting!

In the presidential election 12 years ago, Zhou Charter withdrew, and Sun Wen got the highest number of votes. He was elected president of the Republic of China, and Yuan Shikai served as vice president.

When Zhou Charter was the interim president, in order to free up his hands to develop the domestic economy and avoid a huge financial burden, Zhou Charter's Zhangjun, Yuan Shikai's new army, or the army in the hands of governors in various places in the past, were all classified as the national army and greatly disarmament. At this time, with the departure of Zhou Charter, the brothers of Zhang Jun also left the political and military circles one after another. Many people, like Zhou Charter, either went abroad or returned to the forest at home.

Yuan Shikai was originally a powerful person. Although Sun Wen's prestige is very high, after all, he has a shallow foundation in China and does not have his own arms. Yuan Shikai was very unconvinced with Sun Wen, but with Zhou Charter, Yuan Shikai did not dare to be too presumptuous.

Later, Zhou Charter went overseas, and gradually, Yuan Shikai became restless. He began to gather strength and wanted to oust Sun Wen from power and become president himself.

Sun Wen also felt the threat of Yuan Shikai. He knew that he lacked strength in China and it was difficult to stabilize the overall situation. After weighing it over and over again, after becoming president for a term, he took the initiative to step down and give up the position of president to Yuan Shikai.

Yuan Shikai has served two more terms as president. According to the Constitution of the Republic of China, the president can only be re-elected for two terms at most. At this time, Yuan Shikai should step down and resume the presidential election.

However, Yuan Shikai suddenly announced that he would dissolve the National Assembly, abolish the Republic of China, and become emperor!

The Zhou Charter overthrew the Qing court and abolished the imperial system, which was originally the aveted of the people. Now, Yuan Shikai reversed history and announced the restoration of the imperial system. National public opinion was in an uproar, calling Yuan Shikai a national thief!

Sun Wen and others gathered their strength in Guangzhou, launched the war against Yuan, vowed to expel Yuan Shikai and rebuild the Republic of China.

Yuan Shikai ordered Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang, Wang Shizhen and others to lead the Beiyang army and launched a counterattack against Sun Wen's national army.

Yuan Shikai's Beiyang Army, with his small station new army as the base, is extremely strong. Sun Wen's troops, including the original Zhang Jun and some people of the alliance, also have considerable strength.

The two sides fought unreachablely, but they had no choice but to fight each other, and the war was in a stalemate.

China, which has been peaceful for 12 years, is once again in a national war.

At this time, Zhao Hanyuan crossed the ocean, came to the United States, found Zhou Charter, asked Zhou Charter to return to China, and ordered Zhang Jun's brothers to reassemble to fight against the national thief Yuan Shikai, rebuild the Republic of China and restore peace.

However, Zhou Charter did not agree.

Qin Zhen asked, "Charter, why don't you agree with Zhao Han? Are you worried about our lives?

Minxiu has repaired the weeding truck and started on the lawn. The school bus drove onto the highway. Zhao Qiaoer and Jin Shu laughed, returned to the lawn, and greeted Minxiu on the weeding car, making jokes that only women could make. Zhao Qiaoer's body was a little heavy, and she was pregnant again. Jin Shu is jumping. She had a contraceptive operation. She already has a pair and doesn't want to have another child.

By the river in the distance, an elk came out of the jungle and came to the river to drink water. Meilixi and Liu Yingshu rode their horses and shouted at the unlucky elk.

The sun is bright, the wind is bright, and the sun is peaceful.

"I'm not worried about your life." Zhou Charter said, "Even if I return to China, you can continue to live happily and peacefully here."

"Then what are you worried about?"

"I don't worry about anything." Zhou Charter said, "There is no need for us to worry about the general trend of the world."

"I don't understand." Qin Zhen said.

"Qin Zhen, I can defeat the Japanese, defeat the Germans, and overthrow the Manchu Qing court. In fact, this does not mean how powerful I am." Zhou Charter said, "I just took advantage of the situation. The destruction of the Qing Dynasty is inevitable in history. I just took advantage of this situation and added a little strength.

"Hmm!" Qin Zhen nodded.

"And now Yuan Shikai is going against the trend. Even if he has a million troops, it's just a flash in the pan!" Zhou Charter said, "In the tide of history, the person who goes against the trend, no matter how powerful he is, is just a dragonfly shaking the tree in the end! Qin Zhen, everyone should correct their position and know what they should do and what they should not do! Now, China doesn't need me at all! My historical mission was completed 12 years ago. If I go back to China now, it will actually be the same as Yuan Shikai. It will not only help, but also cause trouble to China.

"Real?" Qin Zhen asked, "However, Yuan Shikai is very powerful now, and Sun Wen can't do anything about him."

"When he announced his accession to the throne, he was doomed to be discredited! In fact, Yuan Shikai could have lived for a few more days. He should have been discredited two years later, that is, 1913! It's just that he is too anxious!" Zhou Charter smiled and said, "Qin Zhen, you go and call Qiaoer, Shuer, Minxiu, Yingshu and Meilixi. After a while, our family will go to meet someone."

"Who?"

"Zhang Peilun and his wife chrysanthemum lotus root."

"Mr. Zhang is here!" Qin Zhen became excited: "Why did they come to the United States?"

"After Li Zhongtang's death, the two of them lived a uncomfortable life in China, and someone always troubled them. Mr. Zhang is old and not in good health. Now there is a war in China and it is not peaceful. I asked Yao Xi to take them to the United States. I built a house for the couple next to our house, and then they will be our neighbors.

"Mr. and Mrs. Zhang are the benefactors of our family, which is right!" Qin Zhen said.

......

A month later, Cai E vowed to fight against Yuan in Yunnan. Two months later, Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang and Wang Shizhen sent telegrams to the whole country on the front lines of Sichuan, Wuhan and Nanjing respectively, asking Yuan Shikai to abdicate. The Beiyang Army defected on all fronts.

Yuan Shikai vomited blood and died in the wind and rain, and lost his reputation!

The end of the whole book.
