China's declaration of war is quite sudden for the world, but a series of preparations have been made within the top leaders of the country. Shortly after the formal declaration of war, in addition to expelling diplomats from allies in China in the name of members of the Allies, the Chinese government did not make any difficulties for ordinary allies in China. Not only did it not forcefully expel and confiscate property as imagined by the outside world, but it also protected personal property and legal investment. At the same time, it also opened a door to convenience for some allies who are willing to become Chinese nationality. These actions surprised diplomats from various countries. Although Britain, France and other countries were a little criticized about China's handling method, they secretly praised China's approach as a "gentleman" style. As a civilized country, they could give certain "understanding" in this way. After experiencing the anger of "betrayal", those diplomats from the allies were also relieved by the "general" of the Chinese government and were "expelled" back to China in anger.

Of course, after the declaration of war, the Chinese government stopped all commercial cooperation with the allies, and the losses were quite large in this regard. However, due to the promise of the two giants of the Allies, Britain and France, all the goods sent to the European Allies halfway were resold to Britain and France, and the subsequent commercial agreements of the Allies were accepted by European members of the Allies. In this way, the losses were minimized and did not affect the development of domestic industry and commerce. As for the materials that had been delivered and not settled, the Chinese government directly used the debts of the Allies in China to offset them. In addition to paying the materials, it made a big profit in general.

In the ten days after the declaration of war, allied diplomats in China were basically "exited". The resettlement of ordinary allied expatriates was also underway. Due to the explanation of Marcos' explanation of Fang Zida in the business circles of allied countries such as Germany, some allied expatriates followed their diplomats on the road to return, while some of the expatriates submitted naturalization applications to the United States like Marcos, and some simply became naturalized in China and became theoretical "Chinese". The merchants of allied expatriates who invested in Shanghai, Beijing, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places were not affected at all after their identity changes. They did business and continued to talk about business. It seemed that China's declaration of war was very far away from them.

Compared with ordinary expatriates, the Central Military Academy was affected more. The German officials hired agreed to become Chinese, except for a few people, while most German officers followed the diplomats to board the return ships. Regarding this situation, Fang Zida could only secretly sigh that soldiers were different from profit-oriented businessmen, let alone the arrogant German officers. In this case, it was already very good to be able to barely leave a few.

Since the war was officially declared, the Chinese government no longer concealed it. The General Staff began to implement an armament plan based on Wu Peifu's suggestion. It expanded its military force, built military defense facilities in important cities and regions, and mobilized troops from the southwest to the northwest to the east, etc. These actions were normal in the eyes of most countries, but in the eyes of the Japanese, it was a naked provocation.

Let's not talk about the Japanese's reaction after being stung. The General Staff did not agree to the proposal made by Wu Peifu to replace Zhang Zuolin in the Northeast. This was mainly because of the particularity of the Northeast region. Zhang Zuolin was deeply rooted in Fengtian. The 27th Division, the New Twenty-Seventh Army, was Zhang Zuolin's direct troops. Mobilizing Zhang Zuolin will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble and lead to the complication of Fengtian's situation. Moreover, although Zhang Zuolin's troops were not as good as Wu Peifu, he was far better at dealing with the Japanese than others, and Xu Shichang also tried to resist Zhang Zuolin. In this case, the risk of replacing Zhang Zuolin with Wu Peifu was too great. The General Staff considered it and decided to implement it according to the original plan.

Of course, the General Staff did not fail to consider what Wu Peifu said. After discussion, Wu Peifu led his troops to station in Shandong and Shanhaiguan to support him. Once Zhang Zuolin from Fengtian was really a silver-like wax gun head, he could not hold back the Japanese. Wu Peifu's army would also invest as soon as possible to avoid the deterioration of the war.

The Chinese government was preparing in an intense and orderly manner, and at the same time, Kawashima Natsuo in the capital was also very busy with the so-called sectarian party members under his command. Knowing the consequences of China's sudden declaration of war, Kawashima Natsuo couldn't wait to get confidential information and report to Tokyo. These information was extremely eager for the Japanese at this time. In order to achieve their goals, Kawashima Natsuo spent a lot of money and finally got some things from Jin Jiu. Although the information given to him by Jin Jiu was not complete and had many defects, Kawashima Natsuo quickly analyzed the information and found some valuable things from it. At this moment, Kawashima Natsuo was overjoyed and hurriedly sent the information back to Tokyo through special channels and continued to contact Jin Jiu, hoping to obtain more important and valuable information.

Half a month later, Fengtian, Northeast China.

A time-honored porcelain shop has just opened. Two guys were under the door panels. One guy was wiping the counter and the display vases in the store with a rag. The shopkeeper Han Deshan stepped in from outside with his hands behind his back. Although Han Deshan is over fifty years old this year, he is still energetic if he is as good as a young man. He will arrive in the store on time every day and direct the busy guys to prepare for welcoming guests.

"Shopkeeper, Mr. Zhang is so majestic these days. I heard that he has become a general? Mr. Zhang's army has been renamed. What's the name of the Tuantuan Army?" The guy Qian San packed his things and said, "The 27th Division has been expanding its army for a long time, and Zhang Zuolin has been promoted from Lieutenant General to Commander of the General Army. Many people in Fengtian City are talking about this matter these days.

"What kind of army is a group army! I don't need to ask the shopkeeper about this matter, I know." Another friend who just put a door panel in and rushed in, saying, "My brother was in the 27th Division. No, now he is called the 27th Army. This general was arranged by the Beijing area, and the general was also promoted by the president. This army is different from what division is mixed into a brigade. How can I say, do you know the Imperial Guard in the story? This army is equivalent to the Imperial Guard in the past. Tsk tsk, it's amazing."

"How powerful? Just brag, you're going to be the Imperial Guard. We had to put Fengtian City in the past and were so careless. But now it's not the Qing Dynasty. Fengtian has no emperor or president. Why are you the Imperial Guard? Let's see?" Qian San said with a lip, his face full of disbelief. We have been together for several years, but he still doesn't know the situation at Liu Xiaoshan's family? His brother Liu Dashan is a soldier who carries guns and eats food. In the army, only people care about him. He doesn't have the share of others.

"Haha, I said Qian San, you are wrong. Xiaoshan is actually right. This army is extraordinary, although it is not as good as the Imperial Guard in the book. It is also very similar. It is said that this time the President valued General Zhang. The whole army has changed new equipment in one go. This cannon and foreign gun! He also mentioned General Zhang as the commander. It is amazing, amazing!" The last of the three servants came in with the last door panel.

The name of Zhao Mutian was Zhao Mutian. In order for his son to become an official in the future, he specially asked his husband to give him this name, in order to pass the top scorer and meet the emperor. When he was a child, he squeezed his teeth and sent Zhao Mutian to study for a few days, but who would have thought that the Qing Dynasty would be gone before long. If the Qing Dynasty had lost this scholar and juren, the top scorer would be lost. In desperation, he sent Zhao Mutian here to be an apprentice and worked for several years.

Zhao Mutian, Qian San and Liu Xiaoshan are both friends. But among the three, he was the only one who had been studying for a few years, and he was usually the leader of the three. After he interrupted, Qian San hesitated, but he still turned his attention to the shopkeeper Han Deshan with some disbelief: "Shopkeeper, tell me?"

"Me?" Han Deshan was doing business, and he was also silly talking about politics and military. He just smiled and listened to the three men talking, but unexpectedly, Qian San pulled the topic back in a blink of an eye. Han Deshan opened his mouth, and couldn't say anything at once. He glared and cursed: "What are you guys doing in the early morning? I haven't seen the door panels all down? Why don't you clean up quickly? If you can't open this morning, I'll beat you to death!"

His head shrank so much that Qian San no longer dared to mention what had happened just now. He quickly packed up his clothes. The other two also restrained themselves and quickly carried the door panel to the backyard.

In recent years, the weather has been good, and the people's lives have been much better. Moreover, the country has vigorously supported industry and commerce. Although Han Deshan's porcelain shop is not big, its business is much better than in previous years. Not long after the door is opened, the transaction came. In just one hour, five or six customers were received. Qian San was greeting the customers and helped the goods go out. Han Deshan returned to the counter with a smile, thinking that today's business was really good.

"Hello, what do you need to order?" Han Deshan just put the money collected in front into the money box under the counter, and heard a greeting and looked up with a smile. Han Deshan was slightly stunned and saw a Japanese man in a kimono walking in.

"Where are porcelains sold here?" The visitor stood in the store and looked around, asking in stiff Chinese.

There are many Japanese people in Fengtian City. Of course, Han Deshan's shop has also received Japanese people. He hurriedly walked up to take the conversation and said, "Yes, we are a porcelain shop. What porcelain do you want to buy?"

"Do you have a bowl? You must be good, beautiful." The Japanese asked, gestured.

"Yes, please come here." Han Deshan nodded repeatedly, called him in, and shouted: "Xiaoshan, take some bowls, it's better."

"Why!"

After a while, Liu Xiaoshan took a few bowls, and Han Deshan arranged the bowls one by one to introduce them to the customer.

The Japanese picked up this one and another one at a time. After asking about the price, he fiddled with it for a long time and shook his head and said, "These big ones are not good, no matter how good they are."

"Hello!" Han Deshan said with a smile, asking Liu Xiaoshan to pick up a few more fine bowls from Jingdezhen. These bowls were very different from what they were just now. Of course, the price was much more expensive.

"Yaxi, this one is great!" The Japanese looked at him and smiled and gave a thumbs up.

"Of course, this is the best bowl in Fengtian City. No one can afford this style except the Grand Marshal's Mansion." Liu Xiaoshan boasted.

The Japanese seemed very satisfied and said he wanted to buy a whole set. Han Deshan was so happy when he heard this, he quickly asked Liu Xiaoshan to pick up a set, and helped him carefully bandage it and put it on the table.

"This, I'll give you money." The Japanese picked up the bowl with one hand, took out a silver dollar with the other hand and threw it on the counter, turned around and left.

"Hey! Wait, this money is not correct!" Han Deshan was stunned and hurriedly grabbed the Japanese.

"That mud?" the Japanese said strangely: "Didn't you give the money? What's wrong?"

"This... this set of bowl costs ten silver dollars, and you only gave one." Han Deshan quickly explained.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Japanese glared and cursed: "Baga! You just told me that it was a silver dollar, but why did it become ten yuan? Is this how you Chinese do business?"

"This, these are one piece, what you have, you have ten pieces. I just said that a piece of bowl is different from what you have in your hand!" Han Deshan pointed to the previous samples and explained.

"Baga! You Chinese are all scammers, you are lying in business!" The Japanese were furious and raised their hands and slapped them. Han Deshan, who was unprepared, instantly fell to the ground.
