Back to the Republic of China as a commander

In the blink of an eye, in July of the fourth year of the Republic of China (1915), Wang Zhenyu also became the father of three children. Zhao Yuting, who had been married into the Wang family and became the second wife, gave birth to the second young master Jingwen. Very competitive and gave birth to the third young master Jingwu.This made Wang Zhenyu's cheap father Wang Longxian very distressed about this: "These three grandsons will inherit his father's handsome position in the future?"

As a father, Wang Zhenyu's current thoughts are not on these three little boys at all. During these days, he took Chief of Staff Yang Wangui and his team to check the combat readiness of various grassroots units. All started.In July last year, Europe finally broke out unceremoniously according to the original track of history. The explanation given by Wang Zhenyu is that history is actually affected by the butterfly effect, but China's influence in this era is too small, so The effect of being a big butterfly is naturally gone.

In terms of talents, it was not all fruitless. Yang Yongtai, the congressman who was ordered to go south to pick him up, finally made up his mind to join him. Member, secretary-general of the Central Party Committee.

After the outbreak of the European War, Wang Zhenyu's previous layout became effective. First of all, except for Japan, foreign yarns were withdrawn from the Chinese market one after another.The Japanese, who originally planned to make a fortune, found that both the cotton production area and the cotton yarn factory had been controlled by the Rong family in Shanghai.More and more industrial products from Anjiang have filled the market originally controlled by foreign companies such as Britain, France and Germany, which has attracted the attention of Japan's special high school, which has been in charge of China's intelligence collection work.The special high class immediately instructed the spy organization in China to carry out a comprehensive investigation on Anjiang, but for some reason, these Japanese had no news as soon as they entered Anjiang. You must know that they entered as Chinese.In the end, based on the so-called historical experience, the Japanese can only explain that there are many bandits in Xiangxi, and all these emperor's warriors are loyal to His Majesty the Emperor.In addition, the Japanese are now putting all their thoughts on how to weaken Yuan Shikai's central government and prevent China from completing the substantive reunification.So in the end they temporarily gave up their plan to send intelligence personnel to Anjiang, and this also led to a large-scale reshuffle of the entire Japanese super high school's intelligence network against China.

Now Wang Zhenyu is more concerned about the development of Liuzhou. The technical advantages of the Luxembourgers make up for the serious shortage of technical personnel in Hunan and Guangxi.But even so, Wang Zhenyu asked every Luxembourg technician (including engineers, technicians, teachers, officials, and doctors) to arrange one to three young people to study with him, because after the European War, these Luxembourgers would return to their homeland. The motherland of Europe, which has now fallen, is groaning under the iron heels of the Germans.Because Grand Duke Mary of Luxembourg failed to escape, she became a subject of Kaiser Wilhelm II.The Luxembourgers in Liuzhou immediately elected the 19-year-old Princess Charlotte, the younger sister of the Grand Duke Marie, as the Grand Duke Regent to continue to lead the Luxembourgers who emigrated to China to fight against the evil Germans (Wang Zhenyu guessed maliciously that these Luxembourgers How are you going to fight the Germans in Europe in China?).Just last month, the railway from Liuzhou to Nanning and to Fangchenggang was completed.With the help of the Luxembourgers, two steel plants with an annual output of one million tons were put into production.After this series of actions, all men and women in Guangxi were mobilized. They put down their hoes one after another, some took up weapons and entered the army, some put on work clothes and entered the factory, and some risked their lives Entered the mining area and became a miner.

As a result, landlords, large and small, in Guangxi suddenly found that they could not find tenants. They almost begged farmers who had not left their hometown to rent their fields with their noses and tears. In order to rob people, the landlords Their favorable conditions are almost unpaid.But the landlords are not the worst. The worst are the bandits. They have lost the foundation for development and will soon have to go down the mountain and surrender.Even Shen Hongying, the most famous gangster in Guangxi, was arrested after two years of being free. For this reason, Bai Chongxi went to see this gangster carefully, and while watching, he slapped and scolded: "Let you pretend to be smart... "

This brought two benefits. Through the National Socialist Party, Wang Zhenyu organized more than 3000 passionate youths into 15 work teams, and sent them to various parts of Guangxi to start a vigorous land reform.However, unlike later generations, these work teams did not go to fight local tyrants to divide the fields.Instead, with the help of agricultural experts, technical planning was carried out on the existing land, and the forest land, arable land, and fish pasture land were clarified.Then began to communicate effectively with these landowners who have become grandchildren.The first step is for the government to take back the land in a unified way and provide economic compensation. In fact, it is to issue a bunch of land bonds. The redemption period is [-] years later, if Wang Zhenyu's regime can last until then.

The second step is to sublease the land to these landlords free of charge for 15 years according to the purpose of the land according to the intention of the landlords.And in order to encourage them to establish private farms, no longer allow the existence of tenants, but all become agricultural workers.

It should be said that there are voices of opposition, and they are quite loud, but in the face of the strong force of the work team and local security forces, the educated landlords are still very aware of current affairs.They were forced to support Wang Zhenyu's new agricultural policy from the bottom of their hearts. Both Chen Shao and Huang Shaohong, who were in charge of land reform in Guangxi, admired Wang Zhenyu.Only a strange person like Wang Zhenyu can play such a magic trick, but the commander-in-chief also said that this policy is limited to Guangxi province, and it is not universal.

Wang Zhenyu has his own political views on land. He spoke at the Fourth Central Plenary Session of the National Socialist Party Congress: "The land reform led by our National Socialist Party has three goals. To achieve which one, we must combine reforms. In terms of the actual situation of the region and the population, strictly prevent the situation of going too far from the left to the right. As for the goal, first, the minimum goal is to have land for the tiller; Third, for the remaining rural population, we must respect their individual wishes, but guide them to adjust and upgrade the agricultural production model from the perspective of funds and policies, and engage in large-scale agriculture , to change the original small-scale peasant economic structure.”

As for the feudal family rights that exist in almost all rural areas of China, Wang Zhenyu realized that this is also a major reason for restricting rural people from going out.For this reason, Wang Zhenyu delivered an important speech to [-] young party members and cadres at the Guangxi Land Reform Work Team Swearing-in Meeting: "Feudal clan power is a product of history, and it is based on family affection, nostalgia, and blood. Administrative orders and brutal means can be easily eliminated, so I have four suggestions and requirements for you. First, I hope you can maintain the most basic respect for this feudal clan; second, the attitude of the party and the government is very clear , People are free, and no one has the right to restrict others’ freedom of career choice. My opinion is that the government should give compensation to a certain standard for clansmen who have objections to leaving the village. If they still object, then it will be handed over to the security forces and The judiciary handles it according to the law; third, the government will not recognize feudal clan rights and legal conflicts, and all disputes in the village must be unconditionally assigned to the judiciary as long as they involve criminal offenses; fourth, the patriarchs of all clans, regardless of whether they accept it or not, They all enjoy the hereditary political status of the county-level council, which we must guarantee, and of course the patriarch who disagrees with the first three points does not need to guarantee it.”

A typical slap to a jujube. . .

While the military reform and land reform were carried out on a large scale in Wang Zhenyu's jurisdiction, the domestic situation was still stubbornly moving forward along the wheel of history.

On September 1914, 9, Yuan led hundreds of officials to worship Confucius at the Temple of Confucius; on December 28, he went to the Temple of Heaven to worship heaven, wearing ancient clothes and bowing.Sacrificing Confucius and Heaven is a preview of Yuan's restoration of the monarchy.Imperialism such as Germany, Britain, the United States, and Japan also supported Yuan's proclaiming himself emperor.In order to restore the monarchy, the Senate, controlled by Yuan, enacted the Organic Law of the National Congress, stipulating that the "National Congress" decides the "national constitution", and the provinces step up to elect "representatives" under the supervision of the military and political chiefs, and carry out the so-called national constitution locally. vote.

On the one hand, Yuan Shikai wanted to proclaim himself emperor, while the ministers of various countries, headed by the British minister Zhu Erdian, believed that as long as the interests of all countries in China could be maintained, it was all right.After all, because of the European War, most of the major powers are no longer able to control the situation in China.On the other hand, in mid-1914, the First World War broke out.China's proposal that Germany directly return Shandong's rights and interests was rejected, so it decided to remain neutral.At that time, the United States had shifted its attention to Europe, while the United Kingdom hoped that Japan could become its Far East ally.Japan then declared war on Germany in August and sent troops to occupy the Shandong Peninsula, Germany's sphere of influence in China.And took the opportunity to occupy most of Shandong, China, no matter how the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs protested (the Ministry of Foreign Affairs likes to protest, it turns out that there is a historical tradition!), just hang on. In 8, Japan put forward unequal "1915" requirements to China, intending to monopolize China's rights and interests.

On January 1915, 1, Japan's Minister Hiichi Masaki made 18 demands directly to Yuan Shikai, President of the Republic of China, and asked China to keep it absolutely confidential. From January to April, Yuan Shikai ordered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to negotiate with Japan, and on the other hand secretly leaked the content gradually, hoping to gain the support of Britain and the United States to counter Japan.Chinese negotiators have repeatedly rejected parts of the demands, forcing concessions from Japan.Anti-Japanese sentiment has also emerged in China.Japan threatened China with force.On May 21, the Japanese government issued an ultimatum to China, ordering a reply before 1 days.

Yuan Shikai convened the highest-level state affairs meeting, announced his acceptance, and at the same time declared May [-]th as the National Humiliation Day, so that everyone would not Don't forget the national humiliation.And all of this, Wang Zhenyu has been watching, he didn't do anything, and Tongtong just followed the trend and released a version against the signing.At this moment, he chose to wait very unkindly, waiting for Beiyang to lose his mind, waiting for Yuan Shikai to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, and bring himself to perish. . .
