66 What a naive

Li Xiang and Mrs. Huang Xing, Ms. Xu Zonghan, as well as Shen Peizhen, Mei Di, Yan Shanshan and other girls returned to the headquarters, talking about the life of the little new on the battlefield all the way.

The headquarters is actually a storefront for requisition. This is a three-door store, selling food in the front and staying in the back. Lixiang brought more than 30 staff officers and attendants, and they chartered the whole store as soon as they came.

Li Xiang came in and smelled a strong fragrance. A fat cook was stirring the meat in a big pot, and then skimming the blood foam floating on the beef soup. This fragrance made Li Xiang's stomach rumple.

"It smells so good!" Li wanted to wrinkle his nose and take a deep breath and asked, "What's for dinner today?"

"Lanzhou Ramen!"

After saying that, Song Que looked at Ma Hongkui, who had a strong arm, pounded, kneaded, and threw the large soft dough repeatedly, and then put the dough on the panel, held the two ends of the strip with both hands, lifted it up on the chopping board and hit it hard. After the strip is elongated, the two ends are folded in half, and continue to hold the two ends and fall, so on and over again.

"Pony, can't you see that there is still this hand?" Li wanted to look at Ma Hongkui with great interest. This is gluten, the purpose of which is to adjust the order of gluten proteins in the dough, so that the messy protein molecules are arranged into a long chain.

"I have a dream of being a chef." Ma Hongkui smiled shyly. He rubbed the noodles into long strips and pulled them into 20 millimeters thick, chopsticks long noodles, or into round strips. He put the slippery noodles on the chopping board, sprinkled the oil to prevent the noodles from sticking, and then asked, "Does the marshal like round noodles or all the noodles?"

"Give me a buckwheat!" Li wanted to say with a smile.

"Good! Buckwheat!" Ma Hongkui blinked his eyes and didn't expect that Marshal Li was still an apnoy in Lanzhou ramen.

"What is buckwheat?" Yan Shanshan asked with a confused face.

"The buckwheat is buckwheat," Li Xiang said with a smile, "It's neither round nor flat, but it's angular."

Ma Hongkui holds both ends of his hand, and his arms are evenly accelerated and pulled outward, and then the two ends are folded in half. The two ends are placed in the fingers of one hand at the same time. The middle finger of the other hand hooks the other end downward, and the palm of the hand is turned up to form a noose shape, and the two hands are stretched to both sides. After the noodles are elongated, put one end of the right hand on the left finger, and the right hand continues to pull the other end. Ma Hongkui not only has the fast speed of ramen, but also pulls out the noodles that are uniform in thickness and crack. Every time you pull it, you need to fold it back on your wrist. When you pull it to the end, shake your hands up and down several times, and the noodles are flexible and long, and the thickness is even. After the eleventh button, the noodles are as thin as hair, and they are not broken, one by one.

The noodles are smooth and chewy. Take them out after cooking a little in the pot. They are flexible and non-sticky.

Ma Hongkui enjoyed the eyes of worship and said proudly, "Lanzhou has a sentence that goes under the pot: Ramen is like a plate of thread, goes down to the pot and turns around, and fishes it into the bowl ** petals."

Watching ramen seems to be an acrobatic performance, which is the essence of Chinese cooking.

Pick up the ramen, pour thick soup, and drizzle with oil and spicy sauce.

Li wanted to take up the bowl. The soup was clear, the meat was crispy and fragrant, the noodles were tough and long, and the saliva suddenly overflowed.

Snoring, a bowl was easily eaten. One day, the cold air dispelled clean, and a red light appeared on his face. He laughed and said, "It's delicious!"

"Li Shuai, another bowl?" Ma Hongkui asked.

"No need?" Li wanted to shake his head and looked at the sea bowl, which was one size smaller than the basin, with fear.

Li wanted to put down his job, and the big guys ate it one after another.

Li wanted to sit on the warm hot bed and listen to the quiet voices outside. Only the rustling sound of the heavy snow falling to the ground. Fang said slowly, "What's the news about Nanjing and Beijing?"

Tang Yuewan handed Li Xiang a handkerchief and said, "President Sun Yat-sen said in an interview with the Associated Press today: I have always believed that this revolutionary movement is just and it will succeed. All provinces of China have moral, material and financial support... The president introduced the negotiations between the Republic of China and the Qing court, and frankly talked about the current situation in China. There was firm confidence in his words. The president expressed concern that the Western missions in Beijing did not understand the real situation of the regime in southern China and encouraged the Qing court to stubbornly resist the government of the Republic of China. He firmly believed that it was the general trend for the Qing court to hand over power.

Li Xiang took the hand towel and wiped his face. He said, "Everyone can see that the abdication of the Qing Emperor is the general trend. However, the Western missions in Beijing are not that they do not understand the real situation of China's political power in the south, but they know too well. It could have been seen that all provinces in China have not given moral, material and financial support to the Nanjing Provisional Government at all, and the financial embarrasment of the Nanjing Provisional Government had been seen.

"The president is here to deal with the interview with the Associated Press. Can you say it beautifully?" The narcissus sipping tea and said leisurely.

Li Xiang nodded, poked the charcoal basin with fire chopsticks, and listened to Tang Yuewan continue: "President Sun told the Associated Press reporter that if the Republic of China cannot establish a stable regime and rebuild domestic peace, it is responsible for the Qing court in Beijing. Premier Yuan Shikai of the Qing court confirmed to us that the Qing court has recently accepted our conditions. The north and south will eventually achieve a truce. In order to ensure peace, I ask the governors of the Republic of China to agree that once the Qing Emperor announced his abdication, they will elect Yuan Shikai as the president of the Republic of China. After some hesitation, the provinces finally agreed. Yuan Shikai is fully aware of this matter.

"Is there a result of the peace agreement?" Li wanted to ask, "When will Emperor Qing abdicate?"

The president agreed to go to Beijing to discuss the final agreement with Yuan Shikai. The president has received a telegram from Beijing. Yuan Shikai asked the government of the Republic of China to dissolve within two days after the Qing Emperor announced his abdication. Tang Yuewan said, "Yuan Shikai is obviously determined to establish his own government in Beijing and has the support of foreign governments. He is ready to ignore the government of the Republic of China and tear up the original agreement..."

"Yuan Shikai wants to be beautiful!" Instead, Li wanted to be a little breathless with excitement. He stared and asked, "I don't think the president will agree to such conditions. Is it time to prepare for the Northern Expedition again?"

"The governors of other provinces, the Nanjing Senate and the generals of the Revolutionary Army also firmly oppose it. The president changed his plan, but it was not the Northern Expedition. He only asked Yuan Shikai to give up his pursuit of imperial power, and foreign governments must recognize the Republic of China before Yuan Shikai is elected president. Tang Yue Wan Dao.

"What if Yuan Shikai doesn't want to wait until the great powers recognize the Republic of China before being elected?" Li wanted to sneer and said, "It's so naive! Even if Yuan Shikai waits for the great powers to recognize the re-election of the Republic of China, can China achieve republican democracy? If Yuan Shikai doesn't die, China can't have democracy.

Tang Yuewan did not want to dispute the following problem with Li Nang at all, but said urgently: "If Yuan Shikai does not want to wait until the powers recognize the Republic of China before being elected, President Sun Yat-sen said that he could go to Beijing to discuss a solution with him, or Yuan Shikai can also come to the south. Beijing. President Sun Yat-sen is not afraid of Beijing's interference. We also welcome Yuan Shikai to Nanjing and ensure his safety.

"Going to Beijing is a sheep entering the tiger's mouth!" Li wanted to snort, "Yuan Shikai will not be so naive. He will not come to Nanjing. Even if he is elected president, he will not agree to go to Nanjing."

Tang Yue is speechless.

Mrs. Huang Xing and Ms. Xu Zonghan listened quietly, and then said, "This is a free and open agreement, and the purpose is entirely for China's future peace and well-being. Postponing the North-South peace agreement means more sacrifice and suffering, and the country will continue to be in turmoil.

"Hahahaha..." Li wanted to look up to the sky and smiled, and his face turned pale. He said, "Getting the way to Yuan Shikai means more sacrifices and pain. An incomplete revolution will definitely be a second revolution, and the country will continue to be more turbulent for a long time."

"There are conditions for giving way. Unless the Qing court accepts the terms of Nanjing, we will never put forward similar conditions again. Now we will never disarm, and China will never return to the era of Qing Dynasty dictatorship. After Xu Zonghan finished speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm afraid not necessarily. Yuan Shikai can overthrow the imperial system today and restore the imperial system tomorrow!" Lixiang's eyes flashed with a cold light, "We will never succumb to the Qing court or Yuan Shikai's dictatorship. We must carry out the revolution to the end!" The republican movement has been launched in 15 provinces across the country, and 35 million Chinese people firmly support the republic and oppose the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Hunan, Shandong and Zhili provinces are also supporters of the revolution. The Qing army, who used to be loyal to Yuan Shikai, is now actually Republicans. Only if this trend continues, they will join our team in due course.

I don't know whether it was cold or anxious and angry. Ms. Xu Zonghan's face was pale and very ugly. She explained angrily, "We control all the treaty ports except Tianjin and Yingkou. In fact, the government of the Republic of China protects the vast majority of foreigners and foreign property. The Chinese people are asking every day, why don't countries recognize us in time? The Chinese people are worried that some foreign envoys in Beijing will provoke foreign interference. This shadow covers the whole country, and Chinese and foreign people are worried about it.

Li Xiang smashed his fist into the pit and said gloomily, "Only cowardly countries will be afraid of foreign interference and kneel down for foreign recognition."

Seeing that Li wanted to say something reasonable, Xu Zonghan couldn't think of a rebuttal for a moment and said, "The countries of the great powers, especially the United States, continue to reaffirm their friendship with China. We should treat it in good faith, ensure compliance with all agreements signed by the Qing court and other countries, and fulfill the obligation to open the door.

"Open the portal?" Li wanted to listen to Gege's smile and said, "This is just a change in the invasion of China by the great powers, which does not mean that they have changed the nature of aggression. On the contrary, in the name of "opening the door", the great powers have strengthened their control over the Qing government and carried out more insidious plundering and enslaving of China. The Chinese nation is still facing the danger of the destruction of the country. This is the fact of the great powers destroying the country in the name of opening the door. Li thought again, "I'm afraid that now the Chinese people have to think that the Western powers are friends and supporters of the Qing court. The current situation in Beijing is not the current situation in China, but I think that European and American governments agree with Beijing more.

"President Sun Yat-sen obviously expects to be recognized by a country in Europe and the United States." Tang Yuewan's eyes flashed and said, "The Nanjing government is formulating a national development plan. The Ministry of Education has drafted a plan, and the interim constitution is about to be completed.

"These are all floating clouds, at least they are floating clouds in these troubled times!" Li Xiang said, looked at the light on the outside room, and whispered, "At the same time, the revolutionary army should continue to advance north of the Yangtze River, not a truce!"

Xu Zonghan sneered and said, "Let's have a lively time with everyone, and don't think about Yuan Shikai's Beiyang Army. Are they vegetarian? If it's really a fight, the Anxi army will first suffer from the enemy on both sides. I'm afraid you can't regret it!"

Li Xiang was stunned and said proudly, "Who is afraid! I'm afraid he won't come!"

Seeing that he was frivolous, Xu Zonghan sat up straight and wanted to push back. Forget it. Li Xiang's current strength is qualified to talk nonsense.
