The Republic of China: A Letter of Appointment Creates the Most Powerful Warlord

Don’t get involved with the fictional background, the style of the Republic of China, and the names of places and people (important events are simply mentioned in passing...those who understand will understand)

In June of the seventh year of the Republic of China, outside the city of Jingshan County, Zhili Province...

As the sky gradually darkened, more than a dozen corpses lay scattered on the ground in the desolate and messy grassland, and bright red blood was still flowing slowly.

In this day and age, death is not a rare thing, but such a blatant attack and killing of more than a dozen people on the road is rare even in such chaotic times.

"Cough cough cough..."

A violent coughing sounded in this deadly environment, and then, among the pile of dead bodies, a young man raised his pale face and looked around blankly.

"what's the situation?"

Zhang Ye looked up and saw a desolate scene everywhere he looked. However, before he could see the situation around him clearly, he felt a severe headache and thousands of fragments of memories flooded into his consciousness.

Not long after, the boy got up from the ground, looked at his slightly greenish khaki military uniform, and smiled bitterly: "Good fellow, he went straight to the beginning of the Republic of China."

He never imagined that he had just taken a nap at home and had traveled through time and space to the early Republic of China era in a parallel world.

After absorbing the original owner's memories, Zhang Ye learned that this world was not much different from his previous life. After the imperial power was shattered, there was a short period of peace, followed by various warlords splitting up and occupying the mountains to become kings, and various struggles emerged one after another.

Just like the Duan family that the original owner belonged to, they had just suppressed the attack of the northern expedition army and began to expand and regain territory impatiently.

As a graduate of the Baocheng Military Academy, although Zhang Ye did not have a strong background, he was assigned the task because of his identity, which was to suppress bandits and pacify the people in Jingshan County, Zhili Province, and stabilize the situation.

However, what no one expected was that before Zhang Ye could enter the county town, a group of more than ten people were attacked by bandits and all died outside the city.

This result is really ridiculous!

"The locals are extremely tough. If I were to go into the city alone with my small body, would I be beaten to death?"

After understanding the current situation, Zhang Ye glanced at his bloodstained military uniform and became worried about his future.

He now had only one thought in mind: he had to run away and not take another step forward!

He was beaten to death outside the city even with a dozen men. If he entered the city alone, it would be strange if he was not torn into pieces.

[Ding, activating the Lord System. Detecting that the host has been appointed as the County Magistrate of Jingshan County, automatically distributing a 150-man guard company, 12 Czech-made light machine guns, 8 grenade launchers, 200 rounds of artillery shells, 4 Maxim water-cooled heavy machine guns, 1000 rounds of ammunition, 150 rifles, 30,000 rounds of ammunition, 3 jeeps, 10 troop carriers, and 10,000 yuan!]

As the system's prompt sound ended, Zhang Ye hadn't figured out what was going on when he saw a group of 150 people suddenly appear in the open wilderness, with guns and ammunition neatly stacked, and everyone held their heads high and looked straight ahead.

"Hello, sir!"

The deafening shouts left Zhang Ye stunned, unable to believe what he saw.

"This...this is too magical, right?"

Zhang Ye rubbed his eyes and looked at the fully staffed guard company in front of him. It felt more exciting than dreaming.

With so many people appearing out of thin air, this system is so powerful that it can no longer be described as something that changes the world, comparable to Nuwa creating humans!

"Lord system? Can I assume that the larger the territory, the more people there are?"

[That's right, host. What you have in front of you is just the system's initial gift pack. As your territory expands, the system will continue to issue rewards based on the host's comprehensive score. At the same time, the host can also use "public opinion" to purchase the goods they need!]

"public opinion?"

Zhang Ye was very confused when he heard this, but before he could ask, a transparent light curtain suddenly appeared in front of him.

[Host: Zhang Ye]

Position: County Magistrate of Jingshan County, Army Major

[Territory: Jingshan County (-9999)]

[Army: Full Guard Company (150 people)]

【Wealth: 10,000 Yuan】

Public Opinion: -9999

"Goodness me, public opinion is negative. It seems that the common people have been oppressed and will never be able to get out of this situation."

Looking at the numbers appearing on the panel, Zhang Ye couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart.

As an outstanding young man who received a peace education, what he hated to see most was the poor being bullied.

"Where's the captain of the guard company?"

"Here! Sir, I'm here!"

A young man in a khaki military uniform, with a burly build and sharp eyes, trotted up to him.

Zhang Ye glanced at him, nodded with satisfaction, and gave instructions.

"Take twenty men and follow me into the city. The rest of you will remain outside the city and await orders!"

"Yes, sir!"

The guard company commander had an exceptionally loud voice. After receiving the order, he quickly made personnel arrangements, then started the jeep and personally acted as Zhang Ye's driver.

……

Eight o'clock in the evening, Jingshan County Magistrate's Office.

A dining table was set up in the spacious yard. At that time, the table was filled with various delicious dishes. Four or five diners, whose faces were flushed from drinking, were laughing and chatting about dirty jokes, looking very comfortable.

"We had a great time drinking wine today. Don't leave now. Let's take a look around Cuixianglou. I heard that a few beautiful girls were sent here in the past two days. We must go and see them."

At the table, a guy who had just had his braids cut off and still had a yin-yang hairstyle, looked to be in his thirties or forties, dressed in brocade and silk, and greeted them in a casual manner.

"The brothers from the mountain will come over later. Without their help today, there's no way we could have dealt with the new county magistrate so quickly."

"Boss Li, that's enough. This kind of thing shouldn't be publicized."

Opposite the Yin-Yang head, the guy with a mustache had a look of contempt in his eyes, but he kept praising the other person.

"Right now, the war between several major warlords is causing chaos. Our Jingshan County is just a small place. I guess no one will pay attention to the death of a county governor here."

"But this matter cannot be put on the table after all. It is better for us all to be cautious."

"What are you being careful about? What's there to be careful about?" Boss Li looked nonchalant upon hearing this. He stood up and began to brag, "Our Li family has been operating in Jingshan County for decades. What kind of people have we not seen?

Not to mention a small county magistrate, even an officer in the army, we can still be brothers and drink and play with women!"
