Back to the Republic of China as a commander

In such a jaw-dropping farce, the only reliable protagonist is the magic weapon that everyone thinks is very unreliable.And it was just a little short, the brigade directly under the brigade headquarters was about to be wiped out by these magical soldiers who seemed to have abnormal heads.It's a pity that it was just a little bit short, and the heroic and extraordinary soldiers had no time to expand their victories and completely wiped out the direct brigade.Xu Yuanquan's first regiment had already caught up, and the situation of the battle was completely reversed. The brigade directly under it did not collapse, but the magic soldiers collapsed.

But even so, the accidental appearance of the Shenbing still caused 84 deaths and more than 120 injuries to the direct brigade. The fact that more than 60 of them are permanently disabled (missing arms and legs) is very uncomfortable.

Although more than 400 prisoners were captured, the loss of the direct brigade still made Wang Zhenyu unexpected and very upset.Today's Wang Zhenyu is no longer the leader in Hankou. The result of his growing power is that because of Commander Wang's displeasure, more than 200 bandit and soldier leaders were screened out, and then they were dragged to the gate of Jingzhou City like a dead dog. In front of the captives and the people of the city, all were executed without trial, and Huang Jianxiong, who had provoked the gang of bandits, was the first to have his head chopped off after being arrested, and his head was hung at the gate of the city.The other captives who watched were all terrified and their faces were ashen.While the gentry of the common people cheered and cheered, they also had a more comprehensive understanding of Wang Zhenyu, the ruler. This young general who seemed to be smiling all day long would also kill people.

In the following half a month, the amateur bandits in various villages in Jingzhou made a second choice in life. After serious discussion, research, and analysis, they still felt that being a good citizen in their own way was more in line with historical development. Regular, more harmonious and healthier.Because this profession now seems to be less risky than being a bandit, and the future is also greater. Although it is a bit hard and tortuous, it is the lesser of two evils, let's drop it.

So almost overnight, there was no more bandit on the ground of the entire Jingzhou Mansion.The bandits in the southeast of Guizhou, after the exaggerated publicity of the hundreds of bandits who had escaped by chance, already regarded the Tiger Brigade as a heavenly soldier and general in their hearts, so naturally they dared not set foot in Jingzhou Mansion again.During this period, bandits of all sizes in Western Hunan and Southeast Guizhou had a popular saying: Jingzhou Wang Zhenyu, Hongjiang Cai Juxian, if you don’t think your life will last, don’t go see them.

In the hearts of the bandits, Wang Zhenyu's name is essentially no different from the Living Hades, and even worse.

Although heartbroken by the loss of nearly 200 people, Wang Zhenyu is still very grateful to these gangsters who don't know how to live or die for being able to take the opportunity to establish his own prestige.

What we need to do now is to further strengthen our own strength, specifically, to deepen reforms.

There is no essential difference between Wang Zhenyu and any dictator in history in breaking the original social power structure, winning more supporters for himself, and expanding his ruling base.

But success is easier said than done, especially for Wang Zhenyu, who is extremely miserable in later generations.

In order to deal with those unreliable old officials, in order to gain the strong support of businessmen, local clan forces, and ethnic minority leaders, Wang Zhenyu chose to abandon the Confucian scholar group that was doomed to decline, and handed over the power of local civil affairs to businessmen. , Clan, Headman.Of course, Wang Zhenyu is not a fool. Force, the foundation of all rule, is still firmly in his own hands, and the independence of the judicial system is also regarded by him as a treasure to restrain local snakes.

Of course, the most important point is the current domestic political climate.You must know that Wang Zhenyu and his family are the only ones who are willing to return power to the people throughout the ages.This epoch-making political system is entirely based on Wang Zhenyu's personal will. In other words, once Wang Zhenyu fails in the civil war, or dies unexpectedly, this political system will be immediately replaced by the current mainstream system due to historical inertia. devour.Therefore, the so-called county ruled by the people and the so-called return of power to the people is actually an opium tree. Businessmen, clan forces, and ethnic minority leaders who have already tasted the sweetness of power have no choice but to do their best to support Wang Zhenyu. up.Otherwise, the land allocated to them by Wang Zhenyu would be taken back by violence.

In this way, merchants naturally have to fight for their own land like farmers, for the "land" that belongs to merchants. . .

Wang Zhenyu sat quietly in his study room. There were scraps of paper all over the floor, all of which were covered with bold words. If you look carefully, you can see words such as "army", "politics", "industry", and "officer".If you want to change the wheel of history, then you have too many things to do.

He felt that his mind was a bit messy, and there were many things in his mind. He thought hard, but he couldn't figure out a complete train of thought.

There is no doubt that his power is indeed growing step by step, but the things to worry about have not decreased, but have increased.

Wang Zhenyu is also afraid, afraid that one day he will be overthrown by his subordinates, afraid that one day he will be wiped out by the enemy, and even more afraid that he will be beaten back to his original shape, and his life will be wasted in mediocrity.As for whether the historical tragedy will happen again, Wang Zhenyu is not worried at all. In his opinion, as long as he succeeds, the track of the wheel of history will definitely be changed.

Afraid, afraid, afraid, there is a fart!When Wang Zhenyu was in extreme distress, he suddenly thought of a very philosophical phrase: "Live in the moment."

Yes, live in the present, since you don’t know what will happen tomorrow, why worry about tomorrow, it’s the most practical to take this step well.

I have to say that Wang Zhenyu is really a master of psychological self-regulation, and he put aside the troubles in his heart with that simple.

What do I need most now?

Now that he has decided to base himself on the present, it is natural not to think about how to go to the Central Plains of Zhuolu and fight for world hegemony.But no matter what you think or how you think, the most important thing you need to do is to sum up one thing, to enhance your own strength.

Forging iron is still hard on oneself, and subtle strategies are inseparable from strong strength. Wang Zhenyu understands these reasons.

So the crux of the problem now is, how to strengthen one's own strength?In other words, what should be the first step?

For this reason, Wang Zhenyu invited three people. The first person was Ye Zuwen, the God of Wealth. The letter was sent out a month ago, but Ye Zuwen took his eldest son Guoxuan to Jingzhou City yesterday because of some delays. It is enough to make Wang Zhenyu happy for a while; the second is actually two people: Xu Yuanquan and Wan Yaohuang, these two people in the current army are considered to have the most strategic vision, and naturally they are also the two people Wang Zhenyu relies on most; the third person It was a strange man recommended by Chen Hongji. His surname was Chen, his name was Shao, his style was Hanchuan, and he was from Changsha. His ancestors were the Chen family of Yingchuan County in the Eastern Han Dynasty. .This Chen Shao is young, 25 years old, but his knowledge is not low, he is a disciple of Changsha Wangmen.

There is no record about Wangmen in the history textbooks of later generations, so many people regard Wangmen as Wangxue, that is, Wang Shouren and Wang Yangming's Mindology.

In fact, the so-called Wangmen refers to an old gentleman in the modern history of Hunan, Wang Kaiyun.

Wang Kaiyun (1833-1916) was a Confucian scholar and writer in the late Qing Dynasty.The word Renqiu, also the word Renfu, the name Xiangqi, is known as Mr. Xiangqi in the world.

This person has not been able to occupy too many roles in modern history, but almost all roles have him.

You know the Empress Dowager Cixi, do you know how this Lafayette came to power?During the Xinyou coup, the Empress Dowager West colluded with Prince Gong and other princes to launch a coup, killing Sushun and other eight auxiliary ministers, and our old master Wang Kaiyun was working as a tutor in Sushun's mansion at that time.

It doesn't matter that the boss has collapsed, Wang Kaiyun joined Zeng Guofan again to help counselor military affairs.

Later, Wang Kaiyun began to teach and educate people, and the great work of writing history.

Let me talk about history books first. Old Master Wang Kaiyun has two most influential books, one is "Qixiang Story" which details the truth of the Xinyou coup, and the other is "Xiangjun Zhi" which details the history of the Hunan Army.The former offended Cixi by defending Sushun, and the latter offended Zeng Guofan by truly recording the failures and misdeeds of the Hunan Army.However, this little old man seemed to have some skills, he was able to get out of the rain without getting caught in the rain, he must be said to be a strange person.

Let's talk about teaching and educating people, the achievement is even greater. Do you know the Six Gentlemen of [-]?Yang Rui and Liu Guangdi are the students of Mr. Wang.

Other famous disciples include Yang Du, Xia Shoutian, Qi Baishi and many others.

At the same time, the old master has been teaching students for decades, and has successively presided over Changsha Sixian Lecture House and Hengzhou Chuanshan Academy.Sponsored Nanchang College of Higher Education, and also gave lectures and taught students in Xiangqi Building.He has gained thousands of disciples before and after, and has a reputation of disciples all over the world.

Not much to say about Wang Kaiyun's reputation, after all, his status as a master of Confucian classics is there, but he still has a specialty that not many people know about, and that is the emperor's mind, which is an ancient subject.

What it is is not important, what is important is that Wang Kaiyun's unique knowledge has been passed on to three people, Yang Du, Xia Shoutian, and now this Chen Shao.

Chen Shao was Wang Kaiyun's only closed disciple, and the specific reason is unclear.But when Wang Zhenyu saw this man's 1.8-meter thick head, he really couldn't connect Chen Shao with his identity as a disciple of the well-known Wangmen in Sanxiang.

If it weren't for this man with thick eyebrows, big eyes, bright eyes and white teeth, who is talented and heroic, Wang Zhenyu would have planned to refer to Cheng Kui'an, a famous Hong Kong gangster actor in later generations.

There is no one who doesn't like a handsome young man, even Wang Kaiyun is not exempt, so he chose such a closed-door disciple.

As for why Chen Shao appeared in such a remote place in western Hunan, it had something to do with Wang Zhenyu.

Chen Shao's parents, like Yang Du, were soldiers of the Hunan Army, but by Chen Shao's generation, his family was already well-off, so the elders hoped that Chen Shao would follow Wen.

However, the soul of a soldier flows in Chen Shao's blood, so even though he was forcibly arranged to study essays, he still does not forget his dream of contributing to the army and making contributions.

Coming out of Wang Kaiyun's family, he originally planned to go to the Beijing government to serve as his senior brother Yang Du and others.But at this time, Wang Zhenyu created a military chaos in Changsha, and defeated a strong army with a brigade.Coupled with the previous legend about the Tiger Brigade, Chen Shao's dream of being a soldier back then is about to come into play again.

But after all, he is not the ambitious He Jian, he is a closed disciple of the Wang family, and he can't do the kind of self-recommendation.Therefore, he only followed to Jingzhou, but he didn't take effect all the time, just observing in secret.

Until Wang Zhenyu ordered reforms, and the first step was to introduce a parliamentary system.Chen Shaocai made his final decision, because he carefully studied Wang Zhenyu's policy and found that it was all a bureau, a general situation to attract heroes from all over the world to buy shares.Chen Shao, who was also young, admired Wang Zhenyu's vision and courage.

It just so happened that Chen Hongji, the chairman of the Jingzhou Parliament and the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, who has been very popular in front of Wang Zhenyu recently, is still somewhat related to Chen Shao.Don't look at Chen Hongji as a surname of Baoqing Mansion, but in fact he is also from Changsha, but his father moved from Changsha to Baoqing to do business, and Chen Hongji was born in Shaodong.Therefore, Chen Hongji's house happened to be separated from Chen Shao's clan. In terms of kinship, Chen Shao had to call Chen Hongji his clan brother.

With this relationship, Chen Hongji naturally strongly recommends his brother to Wang Zhenyu.

Wang Zhenyu now relies heavily on Chen Hongji, so it is naturally not easy to refuse this kind of relationship, and naturally he is generous to accept it.

So the Tiger Brigade headed by Wang Zhenyu had the first real military division, although Wang Zhenyu didn't think so at the time.At first, his definition of Chen Shao was just a job. It wasn't until Chen Shao formulated a complete reform roadmap that he took this person with admiration. What a talent!

There is nothing novel about Chen Shao's reform roadmap, which is based on Wang Zhenyu's ideas, but the content is very detailed, and many places have undergone repeated scrutiny and revision.How difficult this is, Wang Zhenyu is very clear after being the boss for more than half a year, such people who can do specific work well are real talents.

It is a kind of luck that I can actually pick up such a treasure. God has treated me well, Wang Zhenyu couldn't help thinking gratefully. . .
