Republic of China: My great warlord, many children, many blessings.

I suspect there must be some untold hardships behind this. Don't let his pear-selling appearance fool you; he's not stupid.

The major newspapers and the warlords were all astonished.

Zhang Zuolin from Fengtian was even more surprised. This Shen Hao was really amazing, taking down one person after another.

"Damn it, this kid's something else, he went straight for Li Liejun, he's got guts!" Zhang Zuolin said with a chuckle as he looked at the newspaper.

"Could it be that our president is supporting us from behind?" Zhang Zuoxiang asked.

"Of course, this time Li Liejun's weapons were seized, causing quite a stir. I just wanted to see what our President would do."

It would be best if they fought.

"It wouldn't do us any good if Yuting and the others started fighting, would it?" Zhang Zuoxiang asked doubtfully.

Zhang Zuolin raised his thick, dark eyebrows and laughed, "You still don't understand politics."

Not only are there benefits, but there are also significant benefits.

"Oh, Yuting, explain it to me, I don't understand."

"You're just pretending."

Are you still hiding something from me?

What will others think if Shen Hao and Li Liejun start fighting?

At that time, the President will have to rely on me even more, so that Fengtian and Northeast China will not fall into chaos.

As long as the north remains peaceful, his capital will be secure.

I took the opportunity to get rid of my godfather Zhang Xiluan and asked the President for a governorship. I didn't believe that bastard wouldn't give it to me.

If you don't give it to me, I'll take it myself, and then I'll declare myself the Governor of Fengtian, haha!

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zuoxiang's lips twitched.

I was inwardly complaining, "Being your godfather is really dangerous."

Having followed Zhang Zuolin for a long time, he naturally knew how many godfathers Zhang Zuolin had.

Zhang Zuolin had more than forty godfathers and godmothers.

The group included people from all walks of life, including impoverished laborers, bandits, wealthy gentry, and powerful officials.

For example, Zhang Xiluan, a high-ranking official in Northeast China, Zhao Erxun, the Governor-General of the Three Eastern Provinces, and Duan Youheng, the father of Duan Zhigui, were all Zhang Zuolin's godfathers.

However, after becoming wealthy, all the useless ones were eliminated; all those sugar daddies were there to climb the social ladder.

Warlords from all over the country were paying close attention to the Jiujiang incident.

Shen Hao and Li Liejun, the governor of western Jiangxi, became the focus of attention.

The Southern Revolutionary Army Alliance was also paying attention to this matter.

Furthermore, in order to help Li Liejun, the governor of western Jiangxi, who was part of the Tongmenghui (Revolutionary Alliance).

The three leaders, Song Jiaoren, Huang Xing, and Mr. Sun, all sent telegrams to Hu Ningmin, the governor of Guangdong Province, urging him to persuade Shen Hao to withdraw his troops as soon as possible.

Hu Ningmin was also at his wits' end when he saw the telegram, feeling extremely troubled.

You really think highly of me? I'm nothing! Just the way you guys talk makes me feel awful.

Although he was the top military commander of Guangdong Province, he didn't have a single soldier and had no authority whatsoever. How could Shen Hao possibly listen to him?

However, regardless of whether he listened or not, he still had to send the telegram.

Soon, Shen Hao received telegrams from warlords in various regions, all ordering him to withdraw his troops.

Shen Hao snorted coldly, completely ignoring them.

Since Li Liejun dares to wage a war of public opinion, he will not back down.

As a 21st-century individual who has experienced the explosion of self-media, Shen Hao certainly knows how to use media.

When it comes to manipulating public opinion, Shen Hao is truly unafraid of people in this era.

Therefore, Shen Hao ordered Li Yunlong to hold the position and slowly transport the weapons back.

They started a war of words with Li Liejun.

150. Nationwide sensation

Li Liejun offended Shen Hao, and soon realized how serious the consequences would be.

Shen Hao sent a telegram to the whole country exposing Li Liejun's scandal of lust, betrayal and harm to his friend, and forced marriage to his friend's wife.

It was also given to major newspapers, and presented with great emotion.

After sending the telegram, Shen Hao's heart was bleeding.

The reason is simple: sending telegrams is just too expensive.

A mere ten-cent coin, several thousand words in total, and 300 dollars gone—more expensive than reading a novel!

The key point is that your 300 silver dollars is only for one instance. If you report it nationwide, it will cost four or five thousand silver dollars.

This was the first time Shen Hao realized that sending telegrams was actually a highly profitable industry.

1 month 17 day.

As expected, Li Liejun's scandal made headlines in newspapers in major cities such as Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, and Wuhan.

"Li Liejun, the governor of western Jiangxi, is a hypocrite. He lusts after women, plots to murder his brothers, and steals another man's wife!"

Despicable, shameless, and vile!

This headline instantly attracted the attention of countless gossips.

In those days, what ordinary people liked to see most was officials being beheaded and their scandals, which allowed them to vent their resentment.

Shenbao: 'Introduction: As the saying goes, a beautiful and virtuous woman is the object of a gentleman's affections.'

It's easy for us to understand why a gentleman would like a beautiful woman.

But there's also an old saying that goes...

It is said that without rules, nothing can be accomplished.

Since one is called a gentleman, the object of a gentleman's affection and admiration should never be a woman who is already married.

It certainly can't be a friend's wife; after all, there's a saying:

One should not covet a friend's wife; even if one is not a gentleman, one still needs to accept the constraints of morality.

Today's protagonist is Li Liejun, the Governor of Western Jiangxi!

Because his friend's wife was so beautiful and graceful, General Li Liejun was willing to kill his friend and seize her.

He eventually took his friend's wife for himself.

So what kind of life did he lead after ultimately taking his friend's wife as his own?

Li Liejun was born in Ning City, Jiangxi Province in 1882.

Because he loved martial arts from a young age, and possessed intelligence and strategic thinking, he quickly gained admission to the Jiangxi Martial Arts Academy, demonstrating both literary and martial talents.

At the school, he also met his good friend Gong Yong. The two met at the school and quickly became friends.

Because these two people shared similar values ​​and both wanted to serve their country, they hit it off immediately and became good friends, and later good comrades-in-arms.

Because both of them were very outstanding, they were sent to Japan together to study.

After arriving in Japan, since they didn't know anyone there, the two remained good friends.

After completing their studies and returning home, the two of them joined the Tongmenghui (Revolutionary Alliance) together, wanting to contribute their own strength to the revolution.

After the Xinhai Revolution broke out, Li Liejun forced the Beiyang Fleet to surrender, enabling the newly established democratic government to take over one of the most powerful imperial navies in Asia without firing a single shot.

It was precisely because of this achievement that Li Liejun was appointed as the Governor of Western Jiangxi after the establishment of the Republic of China.

Mr. Sun even praised it as

"He is skilled in both martial arts and literature, a rare and exceptional scholar-general of our time."

After becoming the Governor of Western Jiangxi, he naturally couldn't forget his good friend Gong Yong.

The first thing he did was to make his best friend his adjutant.

Gong Yong was overjoyed and grateful to be promoted to adjutant.

A successful career and a fulfilling love life.

Gong Yong found a satisfactory fiancée named Hua Shiqi.

Not only is she stunningly beautiful, but she is also a socialite from a prestigious family, and she is very well-mannered.

There is such a talented woman who is both beautiful inside and out and full of knowledge.

But she caught the eye of Li Liejun, that hypocrite.

Upon first seeing Gong Yong's fiancée, Hua Shiqi, Li Liejun felt an intense possessiveness.

In his heart, all he wanted was to win the heart of the beautiful woman.

Therefore, a wicked idea gradually took shape in his mind.
