Cai Songpo first raised his wine cup and said: ”In order to welcome Miss Zhen Lizi here, and to thank Miss Zhen Lizi for bringing me here, let me first toast to Miss Zhen Lizi and everyone else!” Zhen Lizi nodded happily, he picked up his wine cup and said: ”Thank you General, thank you everyone!” She clinked her cups with Cai Songpo, Li Liejun, Dongfang Yijie, Miss Liu, Miss Zheng, the staff officer, and others, and then took a light sip. Everyone drank their wine and sat down.
Zhen Lizi laughed again: ”I have long heard that Yunnan is rich in natural resources, it is an extremely talented place. I wanted to see it for a long time. I am so happy to be here today and have fulfilled my long-cherished wish. I am honored to be able to meet with the two generals and everyone else here. May our friendship grow deeper and deeper. I also want to toast the two generals and everyone present! ” With that, she raised her glass and smiled as she scanned the crowd.
Cai Songpo also picked up his cup and happily clinked it with hers, allowing them to both drink heartily afterwards. When Zhen Lizi swallowed the cup of wine, he was extremely excited and lively, as though he was talking and laughing with an old friend.
When the banquet ended, Miss Liu and Miss Zheng would arrange for Zhen Lizi's group to rest and rest. Cai Songpo and Yi Jie returned to the State Protecting Temple Headquarters.
Cai Songpo said: ”For the Japanese Empire to invade China and monopolize China, they are really scheming too much. With such a beautiful and eloquent female secret service in Beijing, how could Yuan Shikai's underlings not be affected by it? They all had to fall under her skirt. This is a worrying development for China's future. This also means that we cannot avoid revolution and overthrow Yuan Shikai's rule. ”
He then said to one of them, ”When you return to Beijing, no matter what happens, you have to keep an eye on these spies and find an opportunity to get rid of their spy nest! We should be fully aware that this group of agents is currently extremely dangerous to our country. ”
One Jie made up his mind and nodded repeatedly. Cai Songpo called over a dozen more officers over and instructed them: ”Quickly come to school and the people and carry out your preparations. Starting from tomorrow, Zhen Lizi will take a look at every place. Must shock her. ” Everyone sat down and thought out their plan.
All the officers were overjoyed and immediately went off to do their work separately. Cai Songpo then said to Li Liejun: ”Vice Commander, arrange the formation of troops personally for Zhen Lizi to inspect. We must let her see it, and leave her with a feeling of invincible grandeur. ” Li Liejun also anxiously brought along a young girl to make the arrangements.
The next day, accompanied by Cai Zongpo himself, Zhen Lizi and his group arrived at the National Guard Command first. A solemn and grand scene immediately appeared in front of Zhen Lizi. The layers of arched doors and tall buildings were decorated magnificently. In front of each floor stood a guard with a gun. The flag of five colors and the flag of eighteen stars were suspended above the main entrance. The two sides were lined with colorful banners. Both sides of the corridor were filled with a welcoming crowd.
Zhen Lizi took a step forward and sized him up, then waved his hand and walked in. In her heart, she felt that the dignity of the national army was inviolable. When she saw the profundity and grandeur of the couplet, which was posted on both sides of the door, ”To create the future at once, and restore the Republic with a flourish,” she felt that the national defense movement had risen, was an irresistible flood, and was sweeping across the country.
On the third day, Zhen Lizi accompanied Cai Songpo to the military arena to inspect the troops. Seeing the groups of mighty soldiers lined up in an orderly fashion and performed with force, Zhen Lizi was secretly shocked. That was it: the swish of movement, the whooshing of footsteps. There was a strategy for advancing, and there was a formation for retreating. The roar was loud and clear, and it was filled with the sound of javelins and sabers. It was awe-inspiring and shocking. People were high-spirited and full of passion. He wasn't an ordinary person; he was a Pixiu in this generation.
Zhen Lizi watched in trepidation as he truly felt that he was facing an undefeatable army. When she looked at the few cold, waiting cannons, she felt the power of the Imperial Protectors even more. It was as if the Imperial Guard were about to overthrow the whole unequal world. Zhen Lizi was even more terrified.
On the fourth day, Zhen Lizi, accompanied by Yijie, Miss Liu and Miss Zheng, began to tour the streets. She was surprised where she went. The buildings along the streets were covered with slogans protesting against the secret contract between the Japanese government and Yuan Shikai. Zhen Lizi was shocked. She also saw groups of Kunming citizens and young students giving lectures while beating gongs and beating drums. From time to time, they would shout out, ”Beat Yuan Shikai! To restore the Democratic Republic! ”
Zhen Lizi felt that the whole of Yunnan was boiling. It forced her to admit in her heart that this was a remarkable people, not a people willing to be humiliated and oppressed, a people comparable to any other people in the world. Zhen Lizi secretly thought: ”That's something, China is becoming stronger!”
Zhen Lizi was in no mood to continue looking around. He didn't even want to tour the famous historical sites and Kunming Lake. She and Cai completed the formalities for the delivery of the weapons and hurriedly took her leave.
