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

Perhaps it's because she's Zhang Zuolin's daughter.

What if it were Yu Fengzhi?

How much will the reward be?

After thinking about it, Shen Hao shook his head and felt it was inappropriate.

It's 1913 now, so according to this timeline, it seems that Yu Fengzhi and Xiao Liuzi were already engaged as children.

Since the marriage was arranged between their children, Shen Hao couldn't very well steal her away.

Besides, Zhang Zuolin isn't dead yet. It's shameful for you to steal someone else's daughter-in-law like this.

Just then, footsteps approached, and Zhang Shoufang came over carrying breakfast.

Seeing this, Shen Hao also threw off the covers and got up.

Zhang Shoufang hurriedly put down her breakfast and reached out to stop Shen Hao, saying, "Husband, you don't need to get up. Just lean against the headboard, and I'll feed you."

It's terribly cold outside, you should sleep a little longer and stay warm under the covers.

As she spoke, Zhang Shoufang moved a small table over and placed it on the kang (a heated brick bed).

They helped Shen Hao up and placed a towel around his neck to prevent oil stains from getting onto the blanket.

With Zhang Shoufang taking such good care of him, Shen Hao felt like a patient.

Breakfast was simple: pancakes, rabbit meat, soy milk, and scallions.

Watching Shen Hao eat bite by bite, Zhang Shoufang felt extremely satisfied and became happier the more she watched.

She grabbed a towel and hurriedly wiped the grease off Shen Hao's mouth.

Shen Hao then thought of Yu Fengzhi and asked curiously, "I heard your younger brother, Xiao Liu Zi, has a childhood betrothal?"

Zhang Shoufang nodded and said, "Yes, her name is Yu Fengzhi. It was a marriage arranged by my father himself."

　,:5:7:?备?用"群"!8::;5!0:2!!:9'.6!?;5:?!0:１　闻言，沈浩心中有些失望。

Now that they were engaged, Shen Hao felt too embarrassed to try and steal her away.

It's not like we'll lose one more woman.

"Is the other party a warlord?" Shen Hao pretended not to know;

"No, he's a businessman."

In 1908, my father was ordered to suppress bandits and lived in Zhengjiatun.

The Yu family were the wealthiest gentry in the area.

My father and Uncle Yu Wendou quickly became acquainted and even became sworn brothers.

Later, I heard that my father had his fortune told.

It is said that Yu Fengzhi is destined for wealth and honor, a phoenix-like noblewoman, and marrying her would be a good thing.

Yu Fengzhi happens to be three years older than my younger brother, Xiao Liuzi. As the saying goes, "A woman three years older than her husband is like a golden brick."

And just like that, my father arranged this childhood betrothal.

Upon hearing this, Shen Hao certainly didn't believe the reason that he was a good wife.

Shen Hao believes more in human nature and in self-interest.

One was a bandit suppression commander, and the other was a local tycoon.

By associating with Zhang Zuolin, Yu Wendou was essentially providing himself with a protective shield.

For Zhang Zuolin, Yu Wendou's financial assistance was extremely important.

That would be very beneficial for military spending on maintaining troops.

Shen Hao guessed that this was definitely the reason why the two of them formed a strategic partnership.

As a community of shared interests, the best way for both parties to further solidify this relationship is the oldest, most primitive, and most effective method: arranging a marriage between their children.

That makes sense.

However, Zhang Zuolin was quite particular about his work and even went through the proper procedures for arranging the marriage.

If it were a typical warlord, they would have simply confiscated Yu Wendou's property because his surname was Yu and he had broken the law.

"Oh, by the way, Yu Fengzhi seems to be studying at the Fengtian Christian Women's Normal School in the province."

Shen Hao nodded and said nothing more.

Christian schools existed in various places during that era.

It can also be considered as providing welfare.

After learning that the two had been betrothed since childhood, Shen Hao stopped paying attention to it.

A woman who is difficult to approach loses her value.

After finishing breakfast, Zhang Shoufang took off her coat and crawled into Shen Hao's bed.

She hugged Shen Hao and talked endlessly, mostly recounting her childhood.

Shen Hao listened attentively without interrupting.

After chatting for half an hour, Shen Hao suddenly felt the urge to urinate.

Just as she was about to get up, Zhang Shoufang said, "Husband, don't move, let me do it."

While Shen Hao was still puzzled, Zhang Shoufang hurriedly got off the kang (a heated brick bed), grabbed a chamber pot, then unbuckled Shen Hao's belt and, holding Shen Hao's unopened penis, said expectantly:

"Husband, go pee!"

"It's hard for me to pee like this."

Zhang Shoufang thought for a moment, then suddenly pouted and started whistling.

Shh~shh~

Hearing the familiar melody, Shen Hao finally opened the floodgates.

I shivered as I pulled up my pants.

At that moment, there was a sudden, violent knocking on the door.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

"Young master, young master, the master urgently needs your assistance and wants you to come quickly."

Shen Hao was taken aback. What was the matter that was so urgent?

Zhang Shoufang pouted and said unhappily, "My father is really annoying. He calls my husband over every day. Weren't we fine before I had him?"

Although he said that, his hands didn't stop moving.

As she spoke, she put down the chamber pot and came over to help Shen Hao fasten his belt.

He took the coat and draped it over Shen Hao's shoulders.

"Husband, hurry back, don't catch a cold."

I know that Zhang Shoufang has just become a woman and is very clingy.

Shen Hao wasn't annoyed at all. He smiled and pinched Zhang Shoufang's cheek, saying, "Don't worry, I'll be right back."

"Um"

The maid's urgent knocking must mean something urgent.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been such a disappointment.

Is the Japanese causing trouble again?

With this question in mind, Shen Hao hurried to Zhang Zuolin's study.

Upon seeing Shen Hao, Zhang Zuolin didn't waste any words. He took a piece of paper from his drawer and handed it to Shen Hao, saying, "Hao, take a look at the telegram on this first."

Seeing Zhang Zuolin's solemn expression, Shen Hao nodded and took the telegram to read it.

Song Jiaoren, the leader of the Kuomintang and a member of the Tongmenghui, was attacked by gunfire at Shanghai Railway Station at 2 PM. He is now critically ill and has been sent to the hospital; his fate is unknown.

After reading the telegram, Shen Hao understood why Zhang Zuolin was so serious.

The incident involving Song Jiaoren caused far more a stir than the incident involving several Japanese devils.

This is absolutely something that will cause a national uproar.

The fact that the Kuomintang leader was attacked just as he was about to form a new cabinet inevitably brings to mind other issues.

Zhang Zuolin said, "Ah Hao, tell me, who did it?"

"At present, Mr. Song's death is most beneficial to President Yuan."

After all, his ideology is to limit the president's power.

However, it cannot be ruled out that other political parties or foreigners may take action; the specifics will depend on the investigation.

"Without evidence, it's not good to make wild guesses," Shen Hao said.

"You're right. Shanghai is the territory of Chen Qimei of the Tongmenghui. This guy is the military governor of Shanghai and a big boss of the Green Gang. He has connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles."
