Back to the Republic of China as a commander

Since the founding of the Republic of China, the business of teahouses has been getting worse and worse. After the death of President Yuan, the banner people in Beijing were left alone.This caused the Bannermen, the largest customer source of the teahouse, to go bankrupt one after another. Since they were all bankrupt, they naturally couldn't make a show of coming to the teahouse to drink tea.

As a result, large and small teahouses, teahouses, and teahouses in Beijing immediately collapsed.Only this Yutai Teahouse, because of Wang Lifa's good management, has remodeled and rented out the backyard early.Although there are no people living in this backyard nowadays, the monthly house payment is paid on time, so the income is guaranteed during drought and flood. Although there are fewer tea customers in front, the business can still be maintained.

I don’t know that the magpie on that branch croaked, and as soon as the door opened, five or six young people pushed the door in and asked for a private room.Wang Lifa immediately asked the young man to clean up the private room, made a pot of hot tea, and left. Wang Lifa was also an old gangster in the capital, and he could tell at a glance that these people had something to talk about, so he didn't go close to his eyes.

These seven or eight people are actually officers of the Beiyang Army, and they are vaguely headed by the man in the middle.If there were officers of the youth army, they would find that the leader and their commander-in-chief, Wang Zhenyu, looked somewhat similar.It's true that this person is Wang Zhenyu's younger brother Wang Zhenpeng, who is on vacation in Beijing right now.

This is the fault of the Beiyang army not paying much attention to file management. In the whole Beiyang, except for the people in this small room, no one knows that Wang Zhenpeng, the captain and company commander of Beiyang No. 15 Division, is Wang Zhenyu's younger brother.

The people in the room are all Wang Zhenpeng's classmates in the first phase of Baoding, and most of them are currently serving as company commanders or deputy battalion commanders in the [-]th Division.Sun Zhen, Sun Chu, Wang Tianpei and others, and Wang Zhenpeng's classmates at the same time as Tang Shengzhi, Yan Daogang defected to the youth army, and now they are at least assistant teachers.And everyone knew the fact that when Tang Shengzhi and Yan Dao just went south, they took Wang Zhenpeng's family letter to go, and Beiyang was already depressed, so everyone decided to come to Wang Zhenpeng to see if they could go south together.

"If you want to talk about Beiyang's defeat this time, it's not because the youth army is so powerful. It's because Beiyang is rotten to the root. It's already in this state, and it's still thinking about its own little abacus." Wang Tianpei has a straightforward personality, what to say .

"The [-]th Division and the [-]th Division of ours are in Xuzhou. As long as Commander Xu gives an order, we can reach Nanjing in two days. But you see, we stayed in Xuzhou for more than a month, just looking at the troops in front of us." Let the youth army defeat them one by one. This battle is a deceit!"

"Hehe, what is this? Do you know the military salary? We have a brother in the military supply department of the division headquarters in the first phase. Hey, the senior generals are not short of a penny. The so-called [-]% of the salary is us low-level officers and big soldiers."

"Hey, what do you mean? My brother, I was assigned to the [-]th Division, and the troops were stationed in Langfang. Let's not talk about the bad things about eating empty quota. The commander arranges us to escort the goods every day. It's not easy for us to say anything, but once After overturning the car, I realized that the escorts were all fucking opium. It’s too fucking bad for us soldiers to escort this harmful thing.”

Sun Zhen thought for a while and said, "I have received Tang Shengzhi's letter. The youth army all eat and live together. I have never heard that the regimental commander does not stay in the barracks at night. And the military salary is paid in full. Never delay. This time they have taken back the customs, and now those ordinary people in the south see the youth army as if they are relatives, it is like us, and they can’t hide when they see it.”

Sun Chu waved his hand and talked about another matter: "I heard a fellow of mine working in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs mention something. It seems that our Chief Duan is planning to join the war behind the back of the President and Prime Minister. With the sum of money, what kind of army to join the war is formed, in fact, it will go south to fight against the Nationalist government."

Wang Tianpei patted the table and said, "Damn, little Japan is easy to mess with. They cannibalize people without spitting out their bones. President Yuan made their Article 21 dirty. How could Mr. Duan do such a thing?"

Wang Zhenpeng hasn't spoken since he came in. He knows what the brothers mean when they say these words, that he doesn't want to work in Beiyang anymore, and wants to lead him south to find a way.

Why didn't I think about it, at the beginning of the Baoding first-term exam, I just wanted to be more promising than my brother, but after a few years, the gap became wider and wider.The third brother has already become a commander in nine southern provinces, but he has only been a captain and company commander in Beiyang, and there is less and less hope for him.There have been more than a dozen letters from my family, all of which are persuading me to go home, including a few letters from my third brother, and the most recent one also mentions that I should go home as soon as possible, because Beiyang has no future to speak of.

In fact, Wang Zhenpeng has long since lost the thought of competing with the third brother, but now it is difficult for him to leave, why?Because Wang Zhenpeng fell in love with a girl, and this girl is not simple, it is Yuan Shikai's third daughter Yuan Shuzhen, now named Yuan Jingxue.

To say that this Yuan Shuzhen is also a little famous existence in the history of the Republic of China.

During the preparation for the Hongxian Monarchy, Yuan Shikai lived in Jurentang all the time, and he mainly relied on a Chinese newspaper "Shuntian Times" run by the Japanese for information about the outside world. How could he know that the "Shuntian Times" he read was all colluded by Yuan Keding The fake newspaper forged by Yuan Naikuan and others was first revealed by Yuan Shuzhen.One day, one of Shuzhen's girls wanted to go home to see her father (this girl is the daughter of an old lady, she is free, so she was allowed to go home and visit once in a while), and Shuzhen liked to eat black-skinned five-spice crispy broad beans, Then let her buy some back home by the way.The next day, the girl bought a big bag, which was wrapped in the whole "Suntian Times" and brought back to Yuan's Mansion. When Shuzhen was eating broad beans, he accidentally saw this newspaper and the "Suntian Times" she usually read. The Suncheon Times had a different argument, so I hurriedly found the newspapers of the same day to check, but the results showed that the date was the same but the content was different, obviously someone made a fake.That night, she showed Yuan Shikai the real version of "Suncheon Times". Yuan frowned and said nothing but "Go and play".Early the next morning, Shuzhen was woken up by a burst of shouting and cursing. When he woke up, Yuan Shikai was holding a whip and scolding Yuan Keding for "deceiving his father and wronging the country" amidst his elder brother's kneeling begging for mercy. .

When Yuan Shikai was the president of the Republic of China, he probably wanted to marry a daughter of the Yuan family to Puyi, the last emperor, out of the consideration of alleviating conflicts with the Qing royal family. The third daughter, Shuzhen, was picked.One day, Yuan Ke revealed the news half-jokingly and half-seriously to Shuzhen: "Sanmei, will you be sent to the palace to be a concubine?" It was very interesting, and he threatened her and said: "If you cry again, I must give you a gift." Shu Zhen refused to listen even more, and said, "I am not a snuff bottle at home. I can give it to whoever I like." Old Yuan He laughed loudly after hearing this, and repeatedly boasted: "Our third daughter has personality, high intelligence, and strong fighting spirit. It would be great if she was a boy." Seeing that Lao Yuan was so happy, the fifth aunt beside her said something bitterly. "Look at her being so disobedient, it will be unlucky for whoever marries in the future." Lao Yuan retorted with a smile, "That's not necessarily true." .

According to the original history, Yuan Jingxue should marry Yang Yuxun, the nephew of Yuan Shikai's confidant Yang Shiqi, who served as the pseudo-governor of Shandong during the Anti-Japanese War.Then according to the trend of history, the traitor husband was shot by Dai Li, and Yuan Jingxue began to live alone, writing memoirs about her father.However, history obviously made a big deviation here. When Wang Zhenpeng was ordered to return to Beijing to garrison with No.15 Division this time, he suddenly wanted to go to Beihai for a stroll, so he met a few colleagues and went there in plain clothes.

As a result, when rowing here, because of too many people, I was squeezed into the same boat with two strange girls.I didn't think so at the time, but later everyone remembered what it meant to be able to cross the same boat after a hundred years of cultivation.

And one of the two girls knew Wang Geng, the younger brother of Wang Zhenpeng's classmate. Her name was Lu Xiaoman. Her father, Lu Ding, was the director of the Taxation Department of the Ministry of Finance.The other girl didn't know who it was, but her aggrieved appearance deeply inspired Wang Zhenpeng's strong desire to protect.Although Wang Geng, who was studying at the West Point Military Academy, returned to China for a short-term vacation and was not familiar with Wang Zhenpeng, he volunteered to find Miss Lu for information.Only then did I realize that this girl was actually the second young lady of Yuan Shikai's family, Yuan Jingxue, who was only 16 years old.At this time, Yuan Shikai had died less than a month ago, and the entire Yuan family was already on the verge of collapse.

Chapter 283 Declaring War on Germany ([-])

"Your Excellency, Minister, this is Mr. Xu Shuzheng, Vice Minister of the Chinese Army." Kenji Doihara respectfully introduced Xu Shuzheng, who came to visit, to the new Japanese Minister Yukichi Kobata.

"Haha, hello Deputy Chief Xu, I heard about it when I was in Japan. You are a good friend of the Great Japanese Empire. I heard that you graduated from the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy." Xiaofanyouji mentioned very politely.

Xu Shuzheng nodded and said: "In a blink of an eye, it was ten years ago. It was the 31st year of Guangxu, and now it is the Republic of China. Mr. Minister, our country has changed a lot in the past year. I believe you The government has also seen

Xiao Fan Youji also nodded: "The empire has been paying attention to the great changes in your country, and at the same time, we are also very worried. We don't know why the rebels in the south were pardoned in the end, and they even organized their own government. We I really want to know what the central government of your country thinks? Why is it in this situation?"

Xu Shuzheng spread his hands and said with a smile: "It's very simple. We don't have the money to continue the war. In fact, the government not only continues the war, but even the expenditure of the existing army is very difficult. And we don't know the British and French governments. What do you think? Under such circumstances, you actually choose to hand over the customs of the nine southern provinces to the rebel government. This not only increases our burden, but also reduces our income. In the long run, we don’t even need to send troops. Finances can drain our government and bring it down."

Xiaofan Youji seemed to have known that Xu Shuzheng would say that, he smiled and exchanged a look with Kenji Doihara.

Kenji Doihara quickly sat up straight and said: "Deputy Chief Xu, the Empire of Japan has never been stingy with its friends. If you and Chief Duan need help, we will spare no effort. In fact, we have an idea, which is to ask Your government is in this war, declaring war on Germany, and if that happens, we will..."

Iron Lion Alley Yuan Mansion, here is no longer the presidential palace of the Republic of China.In less than a month, Yuan Shikai's name was no longer mentioned, as if he had never been in this world.

And his old Beiyang men disappeared without a trace after mourning, and Yuan Shikai's children suddenly changed from the favored sons of heaven to pheasants with hairless hair, and no one cares about them.

In order to avoid family division after his death, Yuan Shikai made a special will: "The sons will each receive more than [-] yuan in cash, more than [-] shares of various stocks, and each of them will allocate more than [-] rooms. More than [-] yuan. The daughters each share more than [-] yuan in cash, and have no other property. The mothers live with their children and do not give money."

That is to say, the property that our classmate Yuan Jingxue can get now is 4 oceans, equivalent to about 200 catties of flour on the market, which can be eaten for [-] years. Yuan Shikai has done his calculations carefully.It's a pity that he didn't consider the so-called inflation, he didn't consider the problem of leisure and work, and the problem of unworthy children and grandchildren.As a result, the third generation of the Yuan family in history began to engage in the profession of beggars. Who could have imagined that the grandson of Yuan Shikai, who was once famous, lived by begging? Who could have imagined that Yuan Shikai’s son starved to death on the street?So don't ignore the significance of education at any time, because what can be passed on is always knowledge, and wealth and power cannot be passed on.

Yuan Jingxue has been a little annoyed recently. Ever since her father died, the elder brothers in the family have started to split up. Some have moved to Tianjin and some have moved to Henan. The Zong family no longer has a family.Although in the eyes of the people of the whole country, her father is a great thief, but in Yuan Jingxue's heart, her father is a big tree and she can rely on her.But now that this dependence is gone, my current third concubine, Mrs. Jin, is an honest and responsible person.Yuan Jingxue now feels that she is in a mess, so taking advantage of the fact that no one is in charge of the family these days, she sneaks out to go boating in the North Sea with Miss Lu's family, and there she accidentally crossed with a young man on the same boat.

Regardless of Yuan Jingxue's 17-year-old Mood for Love, she knows a little bit about the relationship between a man and a woman. She has read The Story of the West Chamber and The Story of the White Snake.So she could still understand the eyes of the middle-sized young man with good features, so after getting off the boat, she shyly pulled Miss Lu and ran away without even knowing his name.Hate!

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard his mother Jin shout: "Uncle Zhen, Miss Lu's family is here to look for you."

Yuan Jingxue looked back, and it turned out to be Lu Xiaoman's younger sister, who was one year younger than herself: "Sister, why are you here?"

Lu Xiaoman pretended to be mysterious and said: "Go and play with you, there is someone who wants to see you."

Yuan Jingxue was taken aback and said, "Who wants to see me? It's so mysterious."

Lu Xiaoman looked at Yuan Jingxue with a smile and said: "Hehe, my sister, just pretend to be confused, do you remember the last time you rowed in Beihai?"

Yuan Jingxue blushed immediately, she quickly covered Lu Xiaoman's mouth, and then said to Jin: "Mother, I want to go out for a while."

The Kim family is a Korean, a concubine presented to Yuan Shikai by the last king of North Korea.She gave birth to Yuan Shikai's sons Yuan Kewen and Yuan Keliang and this daughter Yuan Jingxue.Yuan Kewen sent it to his aunt who had no children since she was a child, so after the separation, she could only live with Yuan Keliang and Yuan Jingxue according to Yuan Shikai's will, so she didn't dare to ask about Yuan Jingxue's affairs at all.

Yuan Jingxue followed Lu Xiaoman into the rickshaw and ran all the way to Beihai, only to see Wang Zhenpeng and Wang Geng were already waiting there.

"It's you, you want to see me?" Yuan Jingxue blushed after asking this question.

Wang Zhenpeng nodded quickly and said: "Last time, last time, last time you and Miss were lucky enough to be on the same boat, that, that..."

It was also the first time for Wang Zhenpeng to deal with girls, and his face turned red and he stuttered.

Lu Xiaoman was still a big kid, she pulled Wang Geng over and said, "Let's rent a boat and let them say, let's go!"

The younger brother over there is busy picking up girls, and the older brother here is not idle either.He just severely punished Zhao Yuting who dared to seduce him in the office. To be honest, this woman is really too attractive, especially her breasts, which attracted him deeply like an aphrodisiac.

Dressed up, Wang Zhenbang came in, holding the urban planning and construction map of Wuhan in his hand.According to the agreement, once they join the war, Britain and France will take the lead in revoking the concession in Hankou.Maybe the concessions in Shanghai and Guangzhou are still nothing, but Wang Zhenyu feels somewhat uncomfortable when he thinks that there are foreign fleets around him.Therefore, the Hankou Concession was also added to the negotiation terms of the expeditionary force, and Britain and France also expressed a good understanding of this.

According to this spirit, Wang Zhenbang convened a group of experts to plan the urban construction of Wuhan. Many of these experts participated in the construction of Anjiang and Liuzhou new cities.

After carefully looking at the drawings, Wang Zhenyu said: "This plan is not bad, but it's still a bit stingy. I remember that I told my father-in-law that 200 billion of the 10 billion Chinese yuan was reserved for you to carry out urban construction. Yes. Wuhan is different from Anjiang and Liuzhou. It is a major transportation hub and it is close to the Yangtze River, so it is prone to waterlogging. Therefore, there are two most important things for construction here. The first is that the roads should be wide and the planning should be generous. The drainage facilities should be top-notch, larger and more practical than those in Anjiang. Can you add more money? Fifth brother, the third brother will give you a solid background. The French earned 9 million US dollars (the transaction price was 300 US dollars per ton, six times the non-war price, but not 13% less than the American Bethlehem, which was seven times the non-war price), Do you know how much it is? 5000 billion customs silver, 135 billion Chinese yuan. And next year and the next year, there will be at least more than 40 billion yuan of income every year."

Wang Zhenyu felt refreshed physically and mentally at the moment. He stood up and said, "We not only want to build Wuhan, we also want to build railways from Luyang to Changsha, from Jiujiang to Ganzhou, and from Nanchang to Xiamen. It feels really good to be rich, so You need to change this plan, be more generous, and assume that Wuhan is the center of the entire Central South, a world-class metropolis, go! "

After Wang Zhenbang left, Liu Guojun, who was then the industrial director of the China Development Corporation, and Lieutenant General Ma Xicheng of the Armament Department came together, and they brought the latest industrial construction plan.

Wang Zhenyu took a closer look. In the next five years, Liu Guojun's plan is to build a steel plant with an annual output of 300 million tons and a cement plant with an annual output of 200 million tons in Anjiang, Liuzhou, Wuhan, and Ma'anshan. If the package plan including the chemical plant is to be realized, the minimum investment is expected to be no less than 60 billion Chinese yuan.At present, the fiscal revenue of the national government that controls the territory of nine provinces has basically come out. The customs revenue is about 15 million Chinese yuan, the land tax and commercial tax are about 6 billion Chinese yuan, and the lijin tax has been passed by Wang Zhenyu through Zhang Taiyan at the National Assembly. The order is repealed.In other words, once this plan is implemented, the fiscal revenue for three years will be gone. This also includes the investment after the six-year compulsory education bill in nine provinces just passed by the National Assembly. It is estimated that [-] million Chinese yuan will be invested in compulsory education every year. educate.In a word, the government's current money can't afford to support the army under Wang Zhenyu's command. Wang Zhenyu is paying for the army himself, and he has to pay for industrial construction. Such a country is very abnormal.But there is no way, Wang Zhenyu must be so perverted, otherwise who knows what inexplicable places the money will be invested once the finances are concentrated.Wang Zhenyu is very clear about the virtues of his compatriots. He doesn't want to believe in the character of politicians, because he himself is not a good thing.

Wang Zhenyu signaled the two to sit down: "I think we need to change our thinking. The production capacity of these industrial projects is what we need, and it is very dangerous to digest all products by export. We'd better make the people under our jurisdiction rich. rise up and become purchasing power, so that our production capacity can have the opportunity to expand. The essence of our national socialism is to let our government play the role of regulator in this process, so we want to expand production, and let our army Becoming the biggest consumer is inevitable. Do you understand what I am saying?"

Liu Guojun and Ma Xicheng shook their heads. . .

Chapter 284 Declaring War on Germany ([-])

Wang Zhenyu had no choice but to take out a piece of paper and a pen and said: "Production is to meet consumption, right? The purpose of selling the products we produce to foreigners in exchange for foreign exchange is to buy products from them to meet our consumption. Right? Therefore, we need to increase our own consumption capacity, and it is unrealistic to distribute money to ordinary people. What we can do is to make our military the main body of consumption, so as to stimulate production capacity. When the people can spend money At that time, our industry was not deformed. Therefore, in my opinion, all industrial plans must be adjusted. I want to build my naval industry in Guangzhou and my army industry in the interior, and then use these industries to drive related industries. The development of the country will allow more people to be employed and obtain more funds through work, and then the light industry will have room for development. We must find a way to make the urban people rich, and find a way to make the rural people rich. And if If we can’t do this now, let our gang of damned soldiers and ruffians work hard to spend first. My soldiers want to use the best equipment in the world, get the best treatment, and wear the most beautiful uniforms. And this I have to pay the fucking bill for everything now, damn it!" Wang Zhenyu roughly estimated that in addition to this heavy industry, there are also light industries and railways that need to be paid for by themselves, and the war bonus of 200 billion Chinese yuan was finally divided so easily. .

No, I have to let others bleed, the country is not my Wang Zhenyu alone.Speaking of this, Wang Zhenyu first thought of the number one hero who overthrew the Qing Dynasty, Sheng Xuanhuai.
