Back to the Republic of China as a commander

June 6st is the legendary International Children's Day, but at this time the big brother of socialism is still under the rule of the reactionary and decadent tsarist family, and the so-called fighting Russian nation does not yet know what so-called hunger is.Naturally, there is no such festival in this era, and the leaders don't have to waste time to put on a show, and the children don't have to work hard to dance for the leaders to show their happiness.

It was on this day that Wang Zhenyu returned to Nanjing, the capital of the National Government, but this time he only stayed in Nanjing for a short time. He stayed for one night after disembarking and was going to Shanghai. Therefore, both Huang Xing and Sun Yat-sen were told that they had no time to go to Shanghai. Huang Xing and Sun Yat-sen could only express their understanding for going to see their uncle Wang Longzhong and not visiting other people.

However, there are two people from Nanjing who will definitely come to visit Wang Zhenyu. One is Zhang Taiyan, who feels a little excluded recently, and the other is the mayor of Nanjing, Wang Jingwei.

Zhang Taiyan came to visit because due to the lack of sufficient support in the national government, he, the great speaker, began to move towards a state of marginalization of power.Does he have Wang Longzhong's good mentality of wanting nothing, and he is unwilling to coexist peacefully with Sun Yat-sen's faction because of historical grievances. Therefore, less than a month after the establishment of the National Government, conflicts between the government and the parliament continued. It took more than 20 days, and it was barely approved under Huang Xing's hard work.The problem is that even if Huang Xing had an affair with Sun Yat-sen, it was a trivial matter. In essence, he would consciously or unconsciously side with Sun Yat-sen, which made Zhang Taiyan have to be at a disadvantage in the struggle between the government and the parliament.So as soon as the news that Wang Zhenyu passed by Nanjing came, Wang Zhenyu moved into his uncle's mansion in the front foot, and Zhang Taiyan visited in the back foot.

The official residence Wang Zhenyu chose for himself was located in Jiangning Weaving Mansion in the Qing Dynasty, which was also the former residence of Cao Yin in Jiangning Weaving during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty.It is also the location of the Nanjing Office of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government.Opposite the newly widened cement road is the private residence of Huang Xing, the chairman of the Nationalist Government. It is part of the Grand Palace of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty.The national government is less than 500 meters away from Wang Zhenyu's mansion.

But today Wang Zhenyu doesn't plan to go back to live, because this good place is too far from the pier.On the contrary, Wang Longzhong, the full-time vice chairman of the national government who cared little about government affairs, lived in a sunset villa in Qingliang Mountain by the Qinhuai River.It's about a dozen miles away from the National Government, which just gives me a reason to go to the mountain or not.

Dinner was eaten at his uncle's house. Mrs. Wang Long has two sons and three daughters. The eldest son, Wang Zhenen, is seven years younger than Wang Zhenyu. This year, he has not enjoyed any blessings with his father in these years. Living in Beijing for three years is also worrying .Finally, when I arrived in Nanjing, it seemed safe, and it was too late for Xiang to be a dude.Seeing that his elder brother was still a little shy, Wang Longzhong could only smile wryly at Wang Zhenyu and said, "This child's character is just like his mother's, and he is more gentle. Originally, I planned to let him apply for the Wuhan Army University, but this child just wants to study medicine. , I will follow him. I am busy reviewing recently, and I am preparing to be admitted to the German Medical School. Oh, recently, the Ministry of Education has proposed a motion, saying that it is going to withdraw money to upgrade the German Medical School to Tongji Medical University. The Government Affairs Council disagreed, so Hu Hanmin and Cai Yuanpei had a very unpleasant quarrel. Let’s talk about it, your second brother Zhenyuan has my personality. Although he is only 14 years old, he likes to play with guns. You are clamoring every day to lead troops to fight. Zhen En, let your younger brother come to meet your brother Cong. There are also three girls who come out too, don’t be like female celebrities every day, my daughter of Wang Longzhong does not depend on men for food.”

Wang Zhenyu burst out laughing when he heard this. Ever since Wang Longzhong became the full-time vice chairman of the national government and a general in the army, my aunt felt that her family had become more prosperous, and her daughters were all forced to learn to be female celebrities, so that they could marry a famous family in the future. noble family.

Several children came, and Wang Zhenyu naturally wanted to give a gift to each of them. The one for the eldest brother Zhenen was an English-Chinese dictionary, and the one for the second brother Zhenyuan was a model airplane, which was a bit chubby. Wang Zhenyuan immediately ran out to play happily with the model airplane.As for the three girls, the older one is only six years old, and the younger one is only three years old. Naturally, each of them has a Western doll, which makes the three little girls very happy.

Wang Zhenyu was also intrigued, and originally planned to tease a few more words, but at this time the concierge came in and reported that the speaker Zhang Taiyan asked to see him (this is Zhang Taiyan's habit, whether it is a famous post or a self-proclaimed name, the position of vice chairman of the National Government is not mentioned anyway ).Wang Longzhong naturally let the children and female relatives go down (Wang Long has a wife and four concubines): "Wen Zheng, this Zhang Taiyan has been in constant conflict with Sun Wen and the others in Nanjing recently. Look at this matter."

Wang Zhenyu glanced at his uncle. It seems that times have changed and things are different. In his memory, this clan uncle was a very domineering person in the past. He never asked him too much and just greeted him directly.Now, it seems that being under house arrest in Beijing for several years has smoothed one's temperament, which is fine.

Wang Zhenyu smiled and said: "Uncle, you don't have to be taboo about these things. You are now the number two of the National Government, and you need to make some noises often, not only for yourself, but also for my nephew and my youth army. Nephew My son is still the nephew you single-handedly promoted back then, and my uncle is still the uncle who stood up to heaven and earth. The situation in Nanjing cannot be chaotic, otherwise my nephew will not be able to let go in Wuhan. Here we talk about political power and direct lineage. If Zhang Taiyan did not have our uncle The nephew's support is not an opponent of Sun Wen's family at all, but Zhang Taiyan's prestige in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is definitely higher than that of Sun Wen. So uncle, what we want is not right or wrong, but what we want is balance. Whoever can break this balance, we will Support the other side to attack him until the balance is reached. Only in this way can our uncle and nephew's position be stabilized, and the military power can hopefully be firmly in our uncle's and nephew's hands."

Hearing this, Wang Long seemed to understand something in the center. He nodded silently and said, "Uncle understands. From now on, our uncle and nephew will work together to control this situation."

After a while, footsteps sounded from a distance, and Wang Longzhong led Wang Zhenyu out of the middle hall to meet Zhang Taiyan, Zhang Taiyan was very flattered by this move. . .

When Zhang Taiyan left, he thanked Wang's uncle and nephew repeatedly, which is very rare for a person known for his pride.And Zhang Taiyan's relaxed steps when he left, it can be seen that the problem he was worried about has been solved.

And the second person who came to visit was actually Wang Jingwei, which surprised Wang Zhenyu a lot. This phenomenon is not normal.

But Wang Jingwei, who is the backbone of Sun Wen's family, doesn't care about this. As the mayor of Nanjing and the future star of the national government, his understanding of politics has surpassed Hu Hanmin's half a bucket of water after he has been dormant in France for several years.He understands that his future achievements are inseparable from the support of Sun Wen and others, and that major events require the support of a powerful faction like Wang Zhenyu.So he came here with the planning map of Nanjing City in a few days, and the reason was naturally to ask Wang Zhenyu for advice (Wang Zhenyu is sweating, brother, you are much older than me, how dare I give you advice).

"Chairman (Wang Zhenyu's exclusive title), this is the planning map of our municipal construction in Nanjing, please have a look." Wang Jingwei has been fighting for this drawing for half a month, and even his wife Chen Bijun complained that he had never seen Wang Jingwei I have cared so much about my work (that is, I am more concerned about doing anything than my wife).

Wang Zhenyu took a closer look at the planning map, um, it's a bit high-end, the library and the stadium are included in this plan.However, if Wang Jingwei sees Wang Zhenbang's finalized municipal construction plan for Wuhan City, he will probably vomit blood. There is an underground drainage plan. Although Nanjing also has a drainage plan, it is obviously still in its infancy.

"Brother Zhaoming is a great talent, this plan is second to none in China, but I don't know what your budget is?" Wang Zhenyu praised first, and then quickly understood what was wrong with Wang Jingwei's plan.Wang Zhenbang’s plan is to directly allocate one billion yuan from the Military Commission, while Wang Jingwei naturally only has the National Government to allocate funds, and after the National Government pays the army’s salaries, the remaining funds are only more than [-] million yuan, not even a single person from Wuhan City Lots of funding.

But Wang Jingwei said without changing his face: "Through the efforts of my comrades and I, we won [-] million yuan, and this cousin Zhan even had a big dispute with Mr. Sun."

No wonder, Wang Zhenyu thought, but if it is built according to this plan, Nanjing, as the capital, will be a bit ashamed.

Wang Jingwei leaned over and said, "Chairman, I heard that you allocated 15 billion to Minister Cai of the Ministry of Education to invest in higher education?"

Wang Zhenyu and Wang Longzhong looked at each other and said, "It's true, but I heard that Zhantang wants to use the money for other purposes?"

Wang Jingwei nodded and said: "Actually, 13 million yuan is not enough for the construction of Nanjing. When the government was first established, the finances and taxes were tight, and there was no shortage of money. But now the county is run by the county, and half of the finances and taxes are left in the local area. 5000 billion in taxes and 2000 million in military expenditures (37 for the field army, 12 for the local army, 60 for the security force, a total of 1 for the army, and 6000 for the navy. The monthly basic salary ranges from 15 to [-] Chinese yuan, [-] yuan per capita, and the monthly military expenditure is [-] million Chinese yuan). Under such circumstances, the national government’s finances are really tight! Cousin Zhan heard that Cai Yuanpei held A huge sum of [-] billion, how can you make him not jealous at this time?"
