Back to the Republic of China as a commander

"At the current stage, our country is not completely unified, and the big powers are still eyeing our rich China. This is the time when our entire nation needs dedication and sacrifice the most. It is obviously impossible to talk about justice and fairness at such a time. Help us get rid of semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, ah, this is a new term, write it down" Wang Zhenyu shamelessly plagiarized once: "That's why I came up with the military committee, but you generals, put the army above society In fact, it is not much different from the bullying of the foreign powers, the only difference is that the perpetrator is changed. Our soldiers eat and use the common people, but instead of protecting the common people, they bully the common people. Do you think this is kind?"

"Creativity is a process and a goal. It is the same as the dream that their mother-in-law said. Whether it can be realized is a big question mark! But in the process of pursuing the dream, we will use our own efforts and the efforts of the whole nation. , Is it possible to realize the goals of prosperity, unity, independence and freedom? I think it is completely possible. This is responsible to everyone present here, and is also responsible to future generations. Our politics needs a good social system to maintain. There must be There must be channels for communication. We must face up to the various social contradictions that are constantly emerging and highlighted in social development, and do not play self-deception like centralized politics, and do not engage in house politics. Let the people have the ability to influence politics without bloodshed. Otherwise, when you become evil dragons, there will be new revolutionary parties, new young heroes, and new youth soldiers who will stand up and kill you. Then our nation will fall into an endless vicious circle. Yes. As I said just now, we will not be able to achieve independence, at least all the countries in the world have not yet achieved true independence. So there is only one job we have to do, which is to do our best, Complete the unification of the country, get rid of the great powers, and let the Chinese Communist Party stand in the east of the world. At the same time, don’t forget to set up the social system so that all mistakes can be corrected in time, and don’t let one person have a fever and cause the whole country to have a fever phenomenon occurs."

Chapter 405 Reform Layout ([-])

November 1917 was destined to be the busiest month in this era for Wang Zhenyu. His work diligence surprised everyone who always thought that the boss was lazy and was always a shopkeeper.At the same time, everyone was also deeply worried about this. After all, the revolutionary situation is now in good shape. If the commander-in-chief gets tired, it is not known which direction the situation will go.

On Wang Zhenyu's side, he knew it by himself, even though he appeared in this era and changed the historical trend of China to a certain extent.However, the wheel of world history is still stubbornly moving forward on the original track, and the October Revolution, which will affect the direction of world history for the next 100 years, is still stubbornly breaking out.This made Wang Zhenyu have to face up to himself. For a long time, Wang Zhenyu was full of pride in the career he created, and he thought he was great.But when Soviet Russia, the mother body of the Soviet Union, was born in history, Wang Zhenyu suddenly found that the career he was proud of was actually extremely ridiculous and insignificant.Can the industry that I have engaged in be compared with the great Soviet Union in terms of scale?What would happen if the youth army, who thought it was invincible, fought against the Soviet Red Army in its heyday?If the Soviet Union exported their revolution to the still impoverished Chinese rural citizens and young intellectuals full of passion and dreams, their current career could still be shaken in the red storm a few times.Thinking of this, Wang Zhenyu couldn't help but shiver. He was not afraid of losing everything, because he had nothing.But he can't let the tragedy of history repeat itself. In fact, in the 80s of later generations, people in almost all socialist countries have reached the point where they can't bear public servants. . .

The devil must never be allowed to harm the Chinese nation, and the Chinese nation must not be allowed to sing praises to the devil after being killed.Wang Zhenyu suddenly remembered how his grandfather bragged about killing landlords when he was a child. Now that he thinks about it, which landlords are not Chinese?Just that they deserve to die?Is it not allowed to get rich through hard work?

The two major cancers of the Soviet Union and Muslims must not be allowed to spread in China, and the Chinese nation must not be allowed to become a nation that cannibalizes people and wipes out the most basic humanity and conscience, let alone a nation that is alienated from morality and cruelty on the outside and cruel on the inside. Nationality, Wang Zhenyu swore secretly.

Wang Zhenyu even began to envy Japan's militarism. Although this thing is just as evil, it has successfully helped Japan resist cancer, making this nation still full of vitality in the 21st century.However, Wang Zhenyu did not intend to make China a militaristic country. He knew that the road ahead would be very difficult, so he warned himself that he must hurry up.

From November 11th, the seat of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government, Tianyuan Place Building became brightly lit.Almost all military units are required to work overtime and the guard group of the Central Military Commission is also required to cancel all vacations and outings, and to be fully armed and on guard.In order to avoid sudden accidents, the Wuhan Police Headquarters even issued an order that the entire city be under martial law from 20:[-] p.m.For a while, there were all kinds of rumors in the market, coup d'etat, conspiracy. . .

In fact, it was only Wang Zhenyu's personal needs, and he changed his work and rest time.The morning is for him to sleep, the afternoon is for his meetings, and the evening is for him to process documents and meet his subordinates.

Wang Zhenyu has already felt the urgency of reform, and in comparison, social reform is more urgent than military reform, because the youth army is a bit ahead of itself in terms of its own level.What is really fatal is the social structure and social foundation that have remained unchanged and progressed under the cover of an extremely powerful military force.

The peasants are still extremely poor, the government is still a big pie, and the basis for the existence of the feudal system still exists, and it is the National Government's own opposition to change all of this.

No matter which faction in the National Socialist Party, there is not much opinion in supporting Wang Zhenyu's overriding of the Military Commission over the Nationalist Government.But to carry out large-scale reforms in the land and economic fields, I'm sorry, I oppose it.Even when Wang Zhenyu had to carry out reforms under coercion and lure, they still followed suit.This makes Wang Zhenyu very helpless. There is no other way. The reform must rely on governments at all levels. You can't let your own army use guns to force reform!

In fact, it is indeed too complicated, and there are too many interests involved.However, if the three rural issues are not resolved, then Wang Zhenyu can very pessimistically predict how much trouble China will have in ten years.Thinking of Pan Dongzi in Red Star Shining, Wang Zhenyu suddenly felt that he was very much like the guy who yelled that I, Hu Hansan, was back.

Time waits for me, so hurry up and solve some problems if you can.

The first ones to be interviewed by Wang Zhenyu were Wang Chunling and Chen Gongbo. This Chen Gongbo was transferred to Guangdong after the establishment of the National Government, but he suffered a disadvantage in the struggle.Fortunately, his old superior, Wang Chunling, gave him a hand, and Wang Zhenyu said he was sympathetic, and transferred him back to the propaganda system, and became the head of the National Socialist Party's Propaganda Department.Wang Chunling's current public position is the vice minister of the National Armed Forces Mobilization Department and concurrently the president of the "Wuhan Daily". At present, she is almost the only one in the publicity system.It is particularly worth mentioning that Chen Gongbo, the propaganda minister, had to make an appointment three days in advance if he wanted to meet Wang Zhenyu without calling him by name.But Wang Chunling didn't need it. He was one of the few deputy ministers in the Military Commission who could directly apply to see Wang Zhenyu on the same day. No one dared to underestimate this woman just because of this.

In fact, Wang Zhenyu has been using the spy system to monitor all senior officials. What makes him very pleased is that most of the officials who followed him at the beginning were honest and self-disciplined on economic issues, and they paid great attention to the unity of the small team and did not mixed with other forces.

The time when Wang Chunling and Chen Gongbo were summoned was 01:30 in the morning. They arrived at about [-]:[-] from the Yangtze River Hotel in a car belonging to the National Armed Mobilization Department.Along the way, I encountered at least four patrols, which belonged to the Wuhan Garrison Command, the Hubei Provincial Military Region, the Wuhan Gendarmerie Command, and the Hubei Security Command.Outside the Military Commission building, the soldiers of the guard regiment also strictly checked the work permits of the two people, and only raised their hands to let them go after confirming that they were correct.

Wang Chunling shook her head involuntarily and said to Chen Gongbo: "I remember the last time I was so nervous was when the commander was assassinated. I don't know what went wrong now?"

Of course Chen Gongbo didn't know what was wrong, so he could only shake his head.

When the two walked into the hall on the first floor of the Standing Committee Building, they were surprised to find that the nanmu chairs placed along the wall were already full of soldiers waiting to be interviewed, and most of them were generals.However, these generals are not very common faces, obviously not generals in Wuhan, probably came from other places.

Just as the two were wondering where to sit, Chen Bulei, Wang Zhenyu's secretary, came down the stairs.All the generals present stood up one after another and called Secretary Chen hello.This is also Chen Bulei's happiest moment. As a scholar, he can get greetings from so many generals. You must know that when these people return to the local area, the character who is not a person who holds military power above ten thousand people, so although he is a bit arrogant, Chen Bulei Still very enjoyable.He responded to these generals with a smile, and then walked quickly when he saw Wang Chunling and Chen Gongbo: "Vice Minister Wang, Minister Chen, the chairman is already waiting for you two, please follow me upstairs."

Wang Chunling is a veteran, so naturally she followed Chen Bulei's gestures and left, but Chen Gongbo didn't dare to care about the ranking order in Chen Bui's words just now, and followed Wang Chunling up the stairs obediently.The generals who stayed in the hall whispered to each other who was here just now?Why is it so awesome, those of us still have to wait, but they can go straight up. . .

When Wang Chunling and Chen Gongbo walked into Wang Zhenyu's office on the top floor of the Standing Committee Building, Wang Zhenyu raised his head from the piles of documents and books on his large desk, took a sip of cold coffee, and Get up to welcome the arrival of the two subordinates. . .

"To make a long story short, please come here, mainly to unify your thinking in the future propaganda work." Wang Zhenyu has a heavy task tonight, so he must cut to the chase and make a long story short, "I hope to focus on the following aspects in the future mainstream propaganda For discussion, different voices should be allowed. The first question is about the government, the second is about the ethnic group, and the third is about people's livelihood. We hope that the main theme is the following points, you don't need to record, etc. Secretary Chen will give you a copy of the information, and I am here to talk to you just to get your attention."

Naturally, Wang Chunling and Chen Gongbo closed their notebooks and listened to Wang Zhenyu's continuation: "The goal we want to achieve is first on the issue of corruption. We want to promote or not, but we emphasize that the construction of ** requires a process and requires everyone's efforts. Oppose one-step government, emphasize system construction, oppose sage politics and personality worship, and this includes me. The second is the issue of ethnicity. Don’t talk about majorities and minorities. Those who live within the territory of the Republic of China are the Chinese For ethnicity, please refer to the United States, which emphasizes ethnic equality and opposes differential treatment. Thirdly, on the issue of people's livelihood, rural reforms must be implemented, agriculture will move toward farms, the feudal clan system will be broken, and the original household registration management will be changed to household registration. Service and household registration restrictions should be lifted, and more rural laborers should be allowed to move freely, leave agriculture and enter other industries..."

Chapter 406 Reform Layout ([-])

On the second day after meeting Wang Chunling and Chen Gongbo, Wang Zhenyu spent five consecutive nights receiving dignitaries from Nanjing, including Hu Hanmin from the Tongmeng Society, Cai Yuanpei from the Restoration Society, and Liang Qichao from the Progressive Society.In addition, Xiong Xiling, Prime Minister of the National Government Administration Council, Zhang Taiyan, and Chen Jiongming.

These six people are not so much an interview as a negotiation.In fact, this interview was requested by Hu Han on his own initiative. After Sun Wen was forced to take a medical leave, the Tongmeng faction suffered a heavy blow, and the Guangfu Society led by Zhang Taiyan immediately showed an aggressive posture.It was only at this time that Hu Hanmin realized that the League could not do without a core leader like Sun Wen.Fortunately, Zhang Taiyan has great ambitions, or is more ideal, and after the alliance is weak, he actually directly challenges Wang Zhenyu.This made Wang Zhenyu very dissatisfied, and the Guangfu Society was attacked by Wang Zhenyu.However, the top and bottom of the League are still looking forward to Sun Wen's comeback, and Wang Zhenyu is different from this group of official fans. The issues he considers have been sublimated and surpassed this level.

The reform of rural issues is inseparable from the support of the government, and Zhang Taiyan and the Guangfu Society represent the interests of the chaebols in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. They have always opposed land reform and rural reform.Although the Tongmenghui also opposed it, they represented the interests of the Nanyang chaebols. In comparison, it was not as serious as the opposition of the Guangfuhui.This also made Wang Zhenyu decide to establish a cooperative relationship with the Tongmeng after the assassination incident. As for the progressive party led by Xiong Xiling and Liang Qichao, it really lacks social foundation and mass foundation. The current momentum is also taken care of by Wang Zhenyu.But it doesn't matter, what Wang Zhenyu wants is to have such a group of people to wave the flag for him in the government system, in addition to Wang Zhenyu's own direct line, this faction rose up under the organization of Chen Shao and others, known as the National Socialist Party Faction.

After the assassination of Wang Jingwei, the original internal contradictions became increasingly fierce. Wang Zhenyu discovered this problem at the last party meeting.So when I interviewed the six people this time, the first sentence was: "Life is always going on, and brothers have to live together and live apart. Since you feel that you can't get along together in Nanjing, then separate." However, all groups and parties, if they are willing to unite in governing, they will unite; those who do not want to govern independently should govern alone;

The second sentence is: "The chairman of the National Government should still be appointed by a famous person. In this way, in the reform of the government, the independence of the Government Council will be further strengthened. At the same time, it will further enhance the prestige of the National Government, so I consider that Mr. Sun Wensun will continue to hold this position after he recovers from his illness. As for my uncle, he is only the acting chairman now, so you don’t have to worry about his problems.”

I will be very busy in the next few days. These six people are not some loyal subordinates of Wang Zhenyu. Strictly speaking, they are just partners of Wang Zhenyu.Now that the political situation has reached the point where interests are redistributed, everyone is naturally rolling up their sleeves to compete.As a result, Changjiang Hotel, the 24-story Wangjiang Hotel, entered an unprecedentedly busy moment, and elites from all political factions left Nanjing to come here.Almost all night of discussion and research, one after another plans related to the reform of the national government emerged. . .

This is the state Wang Zhenyu wants. Although he knows the direction of history, it would be too hard for him to come up with a plan to change the direction of history.So what he has been pursuing is such a state. Everyone comes up with a plan that can change the direction of history, chooses slowly, and sees which answer is the most suitable for the topic. In this way, Wang Zhenyu can relax a lot.

In the end, there were indeed quite a few proposals on Wang Zhenyu's desk, but the first proposal that aroused Wang Zhenyu's interest was not a proposal involving government reform, but one of several proposals from Liang Qichao's side. Councilor Yan Yangchu conceived and wrote the "New Rural Construction Measures", which is [-] words long and involves many aspects of rural reform.

Among them, Wang Zhenyu was very impressed with Liang Shuming.If it wasn't for this person's journey after the founding of the People's Republic of China, then the completion would be "How the Right Wing Was Made?" ".What really made Wang Zhenyu remember this person was that before the battle in Shandong, it was this man who put forward the proposal to refuse to accept the surrender of the officers of the Zhilu coalition army.Although due to Wang Zhenyu's artificial manipulation, the scale of the war stopped just from Xuzhou to the border of Shandong, but Liang Shuming's name became a sensation through various newspapers.

But before crossing, Wang Zhenyu had a certain understanding of Liang Shuming.Liang Shuming (1893-1988) was a famous thinker, philosopher, educator, social activist, patriotic activist, famous scholar, and master of Chinese studies. He mainly studied life and social issues. He was one of the early representatives of modern Neo-Confucianism. Known as "the last Confucianist in China".But that's all, more depends on the report in front of you.

"The so-called new rural construction should be roughly divided into several aspects. The first is rural education construction, the second is rural political construction, and the third is rural economic construction. Regardless of which aspect, in the final analysis, it needs people to do it. Therefore, rural education construction should be used as the core and link to connect all aspects of construction. Following the example of the British enclosure movement-style rural reform will lead to misunderstanding and dissatisfaction among the rural class for the reform, and the final implementation effect is very likely It will lead to turmoil in the whole society. Therefore, the construction of the countryside must be planned in a step-by-step manner, and it is not suitable for a one-size-fits-all approach, let alone a fragmented social revolution..."

Wang Zhenyu was very satisfied when he saw this, he turned a page and continued reading:

"Combined with the current reality and our research in western Hunan and Guangxi, the rural model in western Hunan has a certain positive effect on the construction of new countryside. The first is the division of administrative villages. In western Hunan, there has been an accurate division of villages. There is a statutory geographical scope, a clear administrative map, and even a commercial town for the distribution of benefits. However, these villages are still not strictly administrative villages, and the feudal patriarchal system is still in an absolute dominant position in the internal issues of the village. Then our goal of building a new countryside should be to break this feudal patriarchal system, build a real administrative village, let the residents in the village freely choose and move freely, let the law protect their safety, increase the cost of bullying others, and make group self-protection change. It is unnecessary. Then we choose a pilot area, such as a province. First of all, we start with education. China’s major problems are poverty, ignorance, weakness, and selfishness. As a farmer, first teach literacy, and then implement the "four major educations" of livelihood, literature and art, health and citizenship, cultivate knowledge, productivity, strength and unity, so as to create "new people", and advocate the realization of political, educational, economic , self-defense, hygiene and etiquette "six overall construction", so as to achieve the goal of strengthening the country and saving the country..."

The reasoning seems to work, but Wang Zhenyu is thinking about a question, why did their method fail in history?Now it seems that the only reasonable explanation is that they violated human nature. To be precise, they patronized Huabing but forgot to cash it in.Education is useful, but why do so many educated virtuous people become more thoroughly corrupted in the big dye vat of society?In the final analysis, it is still material temptation.

Such a noble new village construction is also inseparable from a large amount of financial support, otherwise it will become like looking at the moon in the water and looking at the flowers in the fog!

"Members, where is the best place to put our new village construction pilot project?" Wang Zhenyu's first sentence made Yan Yangchu and Liang Shuming feel relieved. To be able to win the support of such a powerful figure as Wang Zhenyu, The next job will definitely be very good.

"I think it's better to put the pilot project in Jiangsu or Zhejiang, because the villages here are relatively rich and easy to carry out rural construction." Yan Yangchu's answer did not satisfy Wang Zhenyu. These two places are near the sea, so it's really a battle with Little Japan. The results are all other people's. In terms of construction capabilities, Japan is even more powerful. Just look at the Northeast before World War II.Moreover, choosing these two places to start reform basically means that from the very beginning, without any confidence, they will face head-to-head with the Jiangsu and Zhejiang chaebols on the issue of interests.Although Wang Zhenyu holds the army in his hands, he doesn't want to be so extreme.

Liang Shuming's answer is a bit reliable, Jiangxi and Hubei, but Wang Zhenyu is still not satisfied. The reforms in these two places are really out of proportion to the benefits. If they are used as an example, it will be a slap in the face.

Wang Zhenyu looked at the two young people who were about his own age, and said with a smile: "Actually, the most suitable place is in Guangdong, don't you think?"

Looking at the stunned two people, Wang Zhenyu laughed for a while: "First of all, the local climate, many economic plants such as rubber are suitable for planting there, secondly, the pursuit of life of the local people far surpasses that of other provinces, and finally, the current Guangdong Development Zone has entered a bottleneck period, but the cause of this bottleneck period is political rather than economic, so once you break through, you will have sufficient funds and material guarantees for this new rural construction. Surplus labor will also be available The direction of flow, such a reform has a high probability of success!"

Yan Yangchu and Liang Shuming were enlightened when they heard Wang Zhenyu's words. They really didn't expect that this man with a fierce reputation and his own age was so thorough in considering social issues. They felt that their ideals were likely to be realized in the hands of this man (Wang Zhenyu I thought, Han Fuqu gave you the same feeling at the beginning, oh, I forgot time and space), how did you make them unhappy. . .

Chapter 408

"Da da da, da da da, boom boom boom, rush, kill!" At the foot of the majestic Qilian Mountains is the narrow and long Hexi Corridor, where the war of the Republic of China followed Wu Peifu's Northwest Frontier Army unceremoniously. . .

After the Revolution of [-], Gansu Province was divided into small warlords with local forces, forming the "Eight Towns of Longshang".Among the eight towns, there are half of Hui and half of Han.From the Hui nationality: Ma Fuxiang, the guardian of Ningxia, Ma Lin, the guardian of Ninghai (Qinghai), Ma Tingyu (son of Ma Anliang), the guardian of Liangzhou, and Ma Lin, the guardian of Ganzhou; from the Han nationality: Lu Hongtao, the guardian of Longdong, Suzhou The guard envoy Wu Tongren, the guard envoy of Longnan Kong Fanjin, and the guard envoy of Hezhou Pei Jianzhun.In this way, there was no unified military force and command center in the province. This was a characteristic of Gansu's political situation in the early Republic of China, and it reflected the scattered feudal economy and the complexity of ethnic relations here.The small warlords of the eight towns do not belong to each other, and there are many conflicts.

But it doesn't matter, Wu Ziyu is here, and he still brings 10,000+ tigers, wolves and lions.

Although Wu Peifu has narrowed down now, but after taking refuge in Wang Zhenyu, his strength immediately recovered. The Northwest Frontier Army under him has a total of five divisions, the first division commander Xiao Yaonan, the second division commander Sun Chuanfang, and the third division commander Sun Chuanfang Feng Yuxiang, Yang Sen, commander of the Fourth Division, and Wang Lingji, commander of the Fifth Division, had an astonishing total strength of 15 troops.Most of them are the hard-working Sichuan Army and the brave and skilled Shaanxi Army. More importantly, they also received supplies from Wuhan, sufficient ammunition and food fodder, and enough officers.In Wu Ziyu's own words, after leading troops for so many years, this time is the most prosperous.

And the army of the eight towns put together is about 10 people. You must know that this scale has made the 900 million people of Gansu miserable.So as soon as Wu Ziyu's banner came out, the leaders of the eight towns had to give up their past enmity and start planning to protect themselves in tandem.

The most tragic thing here is Zhang Guangjian, the governor of Gansu at that time. This man was appointed as the governor of Gansu by Yuan Shikai in 1913.In terms of ability, it really has some points. Without an unarmed soldier, it successfully took advantage of the local Hui-Han conflict in Gansu and the mutual restraint between the eight towns to successfully control the situation in Gansu. At one point, it even dealt with warlords like Ma Anliang , Seeing that Gansu will be stable in his hands.

But things are unpredictable. Just when Zhang Guangjian was full of ambitions in ruling Gansu, the War to Protect the Country broke out.Originally thought it would be only three or two months of fighting, but it turned out that the Beiyang Army's entire line of defeat ended in less than two months.After Yuan Shikai's death, Zhang Guangjian chose to continue to join Duan Qirui of the Beiyang government, unlike Yang Zengxin, the governor of Xinjiang in the same year.Originally, I thought that this day could continue, but in a little over a year, Duan Qirui's government collapsed in the Zhiwan War, and now the Gansu area is full of excitement.The result of the weak central government is naturally obvious. Everyone’s fear and fear of Zhang Guangjian, an airborne cadre, has dropped to zero. Before Wu Peifu announced his march to the Northwest, Gansu had already announced the expulsion of Zhang Guangjian under the leadership of the Ma family. .

Zhang Guangjian is not very worried about the Hui people. What really makes him depressed is Wu Peifu.Speaking of which, everyone used to make a living under Yuan Gongbao's tent. Now that you, Wu Ziyu, took over other people's jobs and immediately smashed your brother's jobs, it can't be considered kind.Zhang Guangjian, who was confused about the situation, even sent a telegram to Wu Peifu, hoping that he would not disturb the local people in Gansu.

Wu Peifu, who is arrogant, has a strong army and horses at the moment, so he doesn't pay attention to Zhang Guangjian at all, and directly sends him a telegram, telling him to resign immediately and leave immediately, Zhang Guangjian is so angry that he scolds the scholar for being rude.

Later, Zhang Guangjian sent an urgent telegram to the newly established Zhang Zuolin government in Beijing in the name of the Governor of Gansu, hoping to gain the support of the central government. In order to win this possible support, Zhang Guangjian also added a sentence at the end of the telegram: "The Ministry of Staff will command the entire province to fight to the end!"

But the telegram seemed to disappear, and the Beijing side turned a blind eye to Zhang Guangjian's telegram, as if it had never been sent, and there was no news.
