Space-time SWAT

After Lu Zhaolin arrived in Spring City, he lived in a beautiful manor by Dianchi Lake.

This is the other courtyard run by Lu Haocang here, named Lu Garden.It occupies a very large area, with gardens in front and back, dotted with pavilions and pavilions, and beautiful scenery can be seen everywhere.

Lu Zhaolin hosted banquets in the garden one after another, entertaining important civil and military generals such as the admiral of Yunnan, the prefect of Chuncheng, and the commander-in-chief of several nearby places. The previous generations of leaders from all walks of life, as well as the true and false elites who have returned from overseas.

These people are either old Jianghu who have been around for many years, all of them have long sleeves and are good at dancing, and they are all good-looking, or they are young people who are full of vigor, and all of them are full of enthusiasm and work hard.Although Lu Zhaolin is young, he is mature and stable in the face of them. He is not angry and pretentious. He speaks and acts impeccably. They all praised Lu Haocang for having successors, which is indeed the luck of the Southwest.

After Cai Songpo escorted the French prisoners to Chuncheng, Lu Zhaolin held a grand Chinese-Western reception in the garden, inviting all the people he had met before and their families to celebrate the victory of the Chinese army, The second is to condemn the unreasonable French invasion of Spring City, and the third is to publicly declare the right to build all railways and roads and water routes in the three southwestern provinces.In addition, of course, it is to bring together people from all walks of life and provide them with an opportunity to get in touch with each other so that they can get to know each other and connect with each other.

For a while, politicians, military officers, wealthy businessmen, cultural fighters, scientists, and artists gathered in the famous garden, where they could enjoy opera, listen to Western music, sit and drink tea, or attend dance parties.The collision and fusion of Eastern and Western cultures are vividly displayed here, which opened everyone's eyes.Young people are flocking to it, and of course, many old people secretly sighed "immoral", with disapproval on their faces.

Lu Zhaolin was very busy.

He told the radical reformers, "I support democracy, but democracy is not the same as anarchism. Since we advocate democracy, we must first insist on achieving our goals in a democratic way. Now, the country is devastated, and a smooth transition is the best way. "

Then he wanted to appease the old-fashioned royalists, "Your Majesty is still sitting firmly in the Forbidden City. My father-in-law is Lord Mu Botao, who is highly regarded by the emperor. Your Majesty has always been determined to forge ahead and reform the old, so he was imprisoned in Yingtai and suffered a lot. Tribulations. Now that we are out of predicament and returning, we still do not change our original intentions, insist on innovation, and promote the democratic process. Of course, we must understand the holy will and support the emperor."

He was not polite about the xenophobia attitude of the foreign worshipers, "We are Chinese, and we will never allow our motherland to be insulted by foreign invaders again! If you offend me, you will be punished even if you are far away!"

As for cultural people, artists, and famous Confucian scholars, he respects them all.Even if the other party looked down upon him for his ignorance of the Four Books, Five Classics, and the Six Arts of a Gentleman, he pretended not to notice. He still chatted happily, toasted wine and tea, and sincerely welcomed them to enter the government-run schools in the three southwestern provinces to teach and educate people.

As he walked around, he was greeted with expressions of admiration, both implicit and explicit, by a number of young women.Some abide by the three obediences and four virtues, stand in the distance and pay attention, with eyes full of waves, as if they have a thousand words.Some have been influenced by the new trend of modernity, bravely stepped forward to introduce themselves, and praised him greatly.

Some guests also took the initiative to mention their daughters, nieces, nieces, granddaughters, granddaughters, grandnieces, etc., and expressed their willingness to marry him as concubine.

As soon as Lu Zhaolin arrived in Chuncheng, his general information had already been found out clearly by interested people, and it spread quickly.The eldest son of the governor of Sichuan, who studied in the West and returned from his studies, is talented in both civil and military affairs. Now he is married. His wife is the eldest daughter of the famous official Mu Botao. She has a prominent family background and a daughter of a famous family.Although the marriage was ordered by the parents, and according to the matchmaker, the husband and wife had hardly met each other before marriage, but after marriage, they played harmoniously and had a harmonious relationship.Lu Zhaolin respects Mrs. Mu very much, and entrusts him with all the family affairs. Even though Mrs. Mu is pregnant, he still doesn't even have a house, let alone openly admits his concubine. It is said that whenever he is free, he will accompany his wife , so clean and self-sufficient that men praise it and women admire it.

Although Lu Zhaolin has always put on the attitude of "not good-looking, and only loves good wives", some people always think that men can't steal, but it's because they haven't met stunning beauties, or because their wives are too prominent. When it comes to career prospects, men can't help but feel a little afraid of guilt, but in fact, they must have ideas in their hearts.Therefore, there are always people who express openly and secretly that they want to send him a brothel prostitute or a beautiful maidservant as a housemate, or marry a relative in the family to him as a concubine, let him quietly settle in a home in Spring City, and have someone to serve him when he comes over for business in the future. .Many businessmen have the custom of buying houses and concubines in various places, and officials who take office without wives will do the same. It has become a well-established and tacit "beautiful thing".

Lu Zhaolin always declined this kind of thing very clearly, not even politely, just because he was afraid that someone would pretend not to understand.Of course, his wording was still very polite, and he was very grateful for the care of the other party, but he loved his wife very much, and he really didn't want to take a concubine and accept the house, which would make his pregnant wife sad.

When encountering a daring intellectual woman who returned from studying abroad, she took the initiative to invite him to dance, and he would dance with him in a gentlemanly manner, but that was all.On the dance floor, he was even more handsome and graceful, attracting the eyes of countless women, but he turned a blind eye to them, and then quickly left, leaving behind a broken heart.

In order to avoid similar troubles again, he walked away from the dance floor and quickly came to the place where the officers were gathered.

For soldiers, his attitude is not lacking in enthusiasm and seriousness. Not only did he introduce the various reforms of the current army in detail, but also the officers explored a lot, opened up their minds, worked out advanced training methods and drills, and strived to improve themselves and their troops Only in this way can we win in the actual combat in the future.For this reason, he also focused on the battle commanded by Cai Songpo, so that everyone can learn from him.

Cai Songpo was immediately surrounded by these officers, and they all asked him about the formation and training of the new army and the situation of fighting the French army this time, and the atmosphere was hot.

As military officers, everyone wants to make meritorious deeds, increase their ranks, attract attention, and leave a name in history. However, Cai Songpo's victory and Lu Zhaolin's attitude made them see a lot of things, and they were all excited and eager to try.

The reception adopts a novel buffet style. Dishes, staple foods, snacks, fruits, fine wines, and beverages are placed in the main hall of the main courtyard and the back garden, and guests can take them at will.

Everyone was chatting happily when they suddenly felt a slight vibration under their feet, and the cups and dishes on the table also made a "ding-ding" sound due to collisions.

The guests were startled, a little confused by this sudden movement.Because it was only slightly shaking and did not cause any danger, everyone did not panic, they just felt rather confused, and there was no confusion at the scene.

Lu Zhaolin was reminded by Du Li and immediately understood, "Earthquake."

The information provided by Du Li is very detailed.

In the earth history of the original world, on May 1906, 5, an earthquake of magnitude 10 occurred in Longling County, Yunnan Province, and it continued for five days, causing many cottage houses to collapse.Due to the poverty of the local area, most of the houses were made of bamboo and wood, and some were even thatched huts. Although many collapsed, the damage was not great, so only one person was killed in the earthquake.Many people were injured, but most of them were not fatal. As long as they were treated in time, they would not die.At that time, the government only allocated 55 taels of silver as disaster relief funds, which shows that the disaster situation was not too serious.

Today, although it is not on the same day in the same year, the difference is less than half a year. In the long river of time in the big universe, this difference is insignificant.

Longling is more than 500 kilometers away from Spring City. The magnitude of the earthquake is not high. It is only because it is a shallow earthquake that the seismic waves have been transmitted here, causing the tremors to be felt here.

Although there is no danger, people's emotions are still affected to a certain extent.They stopped talking, eating, drinking, tasting tea, dancing, and performing, and the staff also stopped what they were doing. Only the manager of Lu Garden rushed over instinctively to look for Lu Zhaolin, hoping to get clear instructions.

At the moment when everything came to a standstill, a young man standing less than 30 meters diagonally behind Lu Zhaolin suddenly pulled out a new Luger P08 pistol from his waist, pointed it at Lu Zhaolin and pulled the trigger.

Following a series of exclamations and screams, Lu Zhaolin suddenly fell to the ground and rolled out at the critical moment.A string of bullets chased him and landed on the grass, splashing shattered grass blades and scattered soil, which made people feel thrilled.

"Young Marshal!" Cai Songpo and other officers yelled, rushed over as fast as they could, pushed the young man who had run out of bullets to the ground, disarmed him, restrained him, and rushed towards the fallen Lu Zhaolin .

At this time, the other stunned people around came to their senses, and they also rushed towards the fallen Young Master Lu.

The manager and the servants who rushed over were even more ashamed, and rushed over there while calling "Master".

Seeing that the situation was so chaotic, Cai Songpo didn't know if there were any assassins in the crowd, so he hurriedly ordered the officers around him to form a circle around Lu Zhaolin, and asked the general manager to lead the healthy servants to help stop the guests who were running over. Don't let them get close to Lu Zhaolin.

The manager suddenly understood, and immediately called out to the servants, trying to block the guests and protect the eldest son.

These invited guests all come with relatives, friends, entourage, and guards of varying numbers. The good and the bad are mixed, and their identities are complicated. It is related to the safety of the eldest son. Those servants rushed over regardless of whether they would offend the guests or not, forming a A human wall prevents guests from approaching.
