Super dictator.

After Wei Jichen returned to the headquarters on Changxing Island from the wolf's lair, Dang even spent six thousand merit points to buy three radios from the system.

And once again, six telegraph operators were transferred from the engineering team to practice. Once they got familiar with it, Wei Jichen would send them to Zhang Zuolin, Li Que'er and Unit A.

In order to strengthen the connection between these three places and oneself, it is convenient to quickly convey orders.

Now the cities under the jurisdiction of Wei Jichen's Ding Liao Army include Haicheng, Gaiping, Jinzhou, Fuzhou, Lushun, Dalian, Huayuankou, and the Ding Liao Army can even affect Liaoyang, Phoenix City, Xiuyan, Analysis Mucheng and other places.

Among them, the left wing led by Ma Jinxu was stationed in Jinzhou and Fuzhou, the middle wing led by Xu Daobang was stationed at Lushunkou, and the right wing led by Jiang Guiti was stationed at Dalian Bay and Huayuankou.

Artillery and engineering teams are of course stationed at Lushunkou.

Although there is no position of governor of Liaodong, what Wei Jichen has done is basically the same. The military and political power in these areas has been firmly controlled by Wei Jichen, and he can vaguely compete with Fengtian Province.

The reason for this situation is that Liaodong is sparsely populated and the Qing government did not pay attention to it, and the second is that after the war, the people's livelihood was in decline, and the army had to maintain order. Wei Jichen could use this to intervene.

Now a large number of fleeing people have returned to their hometowns from western Liaoning, and the people who immigrated from Shandong and other places are also the first to replenish the rich areas of eastern Liaoning, which has greatly increased the population of eastern Liaoning, and the vigorous reclamation and settlement operations are about to begin.

After Wei Jichen inspected the coastline, he planned to inspect other places on land to check military training, military morale, combat effectiveness, etc.

The Dingliao Army is no better than Yuan Shikai's new army. Yuan Shikai's new army is an army composed of recruits. Besides, he is defending the capital, and the Beijing-Tianjin area has a large number of troops, so he can train together.

The Dingliao Army, on the other hand, had to be stationed in various places because of its responsibility to defend the land.

Fortunately, the Western-style Art of War Code has been compiled, and the troops from all over the country only need to train according to the methods mentioned in the Code. In addition, the teaching office will send instructors to various places, so the training of sergeants will not be left behind.

As the leader of the entire army, Wei Jichen has to do inspections and buy the morale of the army.

Wei Jichen will start from Lushunkou, pass Jinzhou, Fuzhou, Gaiping, Haicheng, then Ximucheng, Xiuyan, Huayuankou, Dalian, and finally return to Lushunkou. The inspection time is expected to be one month long, just in time Come back and lead the wolves to attack the Russian fleet.

Even if Wei Jichen rested on the way, he could still enter the training base for training, so he was not worried at all. After a month, he would be able to command submarine operations.

This time, there will be old Hanks, the head teacher of Germany, Duan Qirui, the leader of the artillery team, Wang Shizhen, the leader of the engineering team, and Wang Huaiqing and other members of the military team. Served in the Staff Office.

There is Xu Daobang sitting in Lushunkou. Xu Daobang has a stable and cautious personality. Apart from being weak and sick, he is a rare handsome talent. Li Yunfei is also sitting in the camp affairs office, in charge of the promotion of generals in the army, and the power of rewards and punishments, so Wei Jichen is very relieved.

The inspection plan had been drawn up long ago, and the generals were not surprised when the order was issued, as long as they tidied up a little and prepared, they could set off the next day.

That night, Wei Jichen returned to his mansion in Lushun City, ready to meet Tan Sitong who he had left out for a long time.

Wei Jichen was still a little embarrassed, no matter how he invited others to come, it was really unreasonable to wait until such a long time to meet.

However, Tan Sitong didn't think so. He came to sit and discuss the Tao with Monk Guixi these days, and gained a lot. After returning to his room, he worked hard day and night, and he had already thrown Wei Jichen, the general of Liaodong, out of the sky.

Wei Jichen walked slowly, and as soon as he reached the door of the guest room, he heard Tan Sitong's voice of emotion.

"Happy, happy, what the master said, 'If a person does not become a Buddha, he vows not to become a Buddha.' It tells the true meaning of being born into the world. The master has a sad wish to save the world. However, the world is famous for profit, and the world is full of hustle and bustle. Ah, how many people can be saved?"

In Tan Sitong's words, there is a sense of anger, deep love, and deep responsibility.

Then came the voice of the monk Guixi: "The benefactor has made a fortune, and the rich clothes and jade food are just candles in the wind, like simple goldfish waves on the water. Wealth and wealth are not what we want, so what if we can get them? People in the world don't understand this truth, don't we just need us to explain it?" If you save one, you will get another, and if you save two, you will get two."

Hearing that they were discussing such profound and mysterious issues, Wei Jichen almost turned around and left.

"The law does not penetrate the six ears. Since the general has heard the old monk's words, why don't you come in and have a look?" Monk Guixi seemed to have a pair of clairvoyant eyes, and seemed to be able to detect Wei Jichen's movements, and said loudly.

Wei Jichen gave a wry smile twice helplessly, and had no choice but to open the door and enter.

I saw Tan Sitong and old monk Guixi sitting opposite each other on both sides of the coffee table, drinking tea and discussing the Tao.

"I'm just afraid that I, a worldly person, will disturb your discussion." Wei Jichen smiled and sat directly aside.

The old monk Guixi rolled up his sleeves, poured him a cup of tea, smiled slightly, and said, "All living beings are equal, why are we called people of the world and people outside the world."

Wei Jichen took a sip of tea and replied with a smile: "People like me who pursue fame and wealth are naturally worldly people, and monks who are happy with straw shoes and bamboo sticks are naturally people of Buddhism."

Wei Jichen didn't know why, so he wanted to argue with him, maybe because he was relaxed and happy all day long, while he was busy all day, and felt aggrieved.

Monk Guixi smiled without saying a word, drank tea lightly, and did not argue with Wei Jichen.

For a while, Wei Jichen punched into the air, and there was nowhere to use his strength.

Tan Sitong took the opportunity to salute Wei Jichen and said, "I have disturbed the general for a long time, but I haven't formally thanked you yet."

"Brother Tan didn't bother me, it was the monk." Wei Jichen replied with a little embarrassment, it was indeed a bit rude for him to hang him out for so many days.

But Tan Sitong said seriously: "Master's Dharma is profound, he is an eminent monk who has attained the Tao. It is really a wish for Tan to meet with Master. Luckily! Glorious!"

Guixi put his palms together and praised: "Amitabha, the benefactor has a deep root of wisdom, but the benefactor does not care about the Buddha, and there is one less disciple in my Buddhist school."

Tan Sitong put down the teacup, let out a long sigh, and said softly: "Although Buddhism is broad and profound, but now the mountains and rivers are broken, and the wisdom of the people has not yet been developed. It is necessary to use Western methods to make up for the death of our ancient Chinese methods."

Wei Jichen saw that the two of them were about to engage in advanced theoretical knowledge again, so he couldn't help but feel a headache, so he changed the subject and said, "Brother Tan, this time Wei is going to go north to inspect the military situation, and it will take a lot of time. Brother Tan is in a certain mansion. Please do as you please."

Tan Sitong's eyes flickered, and he suddenly said: "Tan saw that the general worked hard to govern, innovated the old, opened mines, built railways, enriched the country and supported the people, and adopted Western military training. He is really the most enlightened official that Tan has ever seen. This is a ruthless request, and I ask the general to agree."

Tan Sitong first praised Wei Jichen for a while, and then paved the way for the next thing.

Wei Jichen smiled slightly, neither happy nor worried, and said lightly: "If Wei can help, there is no possibility that he will not agree."

The subtext means that it depends on what you are talking about.

Tan Sitong didn't think it was a pest, shook his sleeves, and talked eloquently: "There is a reformer in the capital, Kang Youwei, who organized and strengthened the society, founded "Chinese and Foreign Records", publicized reform and reform, and introduced advanced Western knowledge and systems."

Seeing Wei Jichen nodding, he continued: "Tan thinks it's so wonderful that running a newspaper can open up people's wisdom and broaden people's horizons. However, when Tan visited Kang Youwei last time, it happened that he was not there. He just met his disciple Liang Qichao. Later, Tan Traveling to Liaodong, I saw that the general's actions were secretly consistent with the reform, so Tan also wanted to start a newspaper in Liaodong to promote the ideas of reform."

Old Monk Gui Xi looked at the two of them neither sad nor happy, with an expression of staying out of the matter.

Wei Jichen pondered for a while, thinking about the gains and losses in his heart. He knew that Tan Sitong was a radical reformer, and even implied a revolutionary taste. Anti-Qing nationality issued to students to instill revolutionary consciousness in them.

It is good to run a newspaper, but this newspaper must be firmly in your own hands. In the early stage, it mainly focuses on introducing Western academic books. As for political matters, now that you are weak, it is best not to get involved for the time being.

However, if the time is right, Tan Sitong will be able to come in handy.

Thinking of this, Wei Jichen nodded in agreement and said, "It's a small matter, Wei will fully support Brother Tan, but every time it is published, it must be checked by my Liaodong Yamen before it can be printed and distributed."

Tan Sitong was slightly delighted, and said with a smile: "Thank you, General, for your success."

"This is also a good thing. How can it be said to be perfect." Now, not to mention ordinary people, even most of Wei Jichen's generals are not well-informed and don't understand Western affairs. A newspaper is dedicated to introducing the situation of Western countries. , which Wei Jichen liked to hear.

The two discussed it again, and finally decided on the name of the newspaper - "New Vision".

After all, Tan Sitong had never run a newspaper before, so he didn't have much experience. In addition, his thinking was too radical, and Wei Jichen had to endure it for the time being, so he thought of someone else.

That was Lin Zhixing, Beijing-China editor-in-chief of the "Wan Guo Gong Bao" who could be said to have saved him.

Lin Zhixing had many correspondences with Wei Jichen, and he admired Wei Jichen very much. Moreover, when Wei Jichen came to Beijing, he specially visited him to express his gratitude. Wei Jichen also knew a lot about his talent, so Wei Jichen decided to recruit Lin Zhixing. .

As soon as Wei Jichen said that Lin Zhixing was the editor-in-chief of the Wanguo Gazette, Tan Sitong nodded repeatedly without any objection.

The matter was decided in this way, and the few people talked about some miscellaneous words, and Wei Jichen got up to leave.
