Jagged Warlord

55. Young apprentices

"But~" Liu Musheng changed the subject and said, "Henan is the land of the Central Plains, and it has always been a place where talents have been produced. Young Master, why should you look far away? Not to mention the distance, among the seven major households and eight major households in Shangqiu, there are not many of them. A young talent?"

Being reminded by Liu Musheng, Li Mohan also felt that it was a big deal.So he said: "Then according to your wishes, master, I will seek talents on this list."

Liu Musheng smiled and said, "Young master, you are still a person who has stayed abroad. What age is this, and you still publish a list... directly in the newspaper!"

Li Mohan has no black lines in his head, and he is not ashamed to be able to keep up with the pulse of the times without a person who was a hundred years ago~

So, under Liu Musheng's planning, Li Mohan adopted a method that seemed very new at the time—public recruitment in newspapers.He sent people to newspaper offices in big cities such as Shanghai, Nanjing, Wuchang, Baoding, Kaifeng, Guangzhou, Kunming, etc., bought full-page pages at a large price, and then published advertisements to recruit talents. The positions of the subordinate counties.For a time, this advertisement caused a lot of repercussions all over the country. The first people who were attracted were a group of Baoding military students who had been expelled from school.

Baoding Military Academy can be said to be the orthodoxy of Chinese military education today, and its graduates are valued by the northern government and provincial military authorities in terms of military education and staff work because of their good military quality.Since the establishment of Baoding Military Academy, it has advertised that "soldiers take the defense of their homes and the country and obey orders as their bounden duty" and "soldiers don't care about politics is noble", forming the characteristics of Baoding military academy students as a professional soldier.Similarly, the students of Baoding Military Academy can be said to be the most military-quality students in Chinese history.Absolutely obey orders and not participate in political affairs. Most of the soldiers in Baoding Military Academy can abide by this military discipline.

However, after the "Second Revolution" broke out, under the influence of the revolutionary atmosphere, many students from Baoding Military Academy went south to join the revolution. After the failure of the "Second Revolution", these students were all expelled from school.At the same time, the Ministry of the Army also ordered all ministries across the country to strictly prohibit the recruitment of expelled Baoding Military Academy cadets, and violators will be severely punished.

Some Baoding students who were expelled had the mentality of giving it a try, and regarded Li Mohan as their last straw.

The Longhai Railway connecting the Jianghuai River and the hinterland of Henan Province is a busy artery with frequent traffic of goods and people.On this day, more than 20 young people sitting upright in this carriage all looked serious.It was unexpected that so many young people with almost the same hairstyle appeared in one carriage. The eyes of the people in the carriage were naturally attracted by this group of people, and some people always looked at these people involuntarily.

A group of people got off the train and easily found the Yudong Township Envoy.It was obviously impossible for a group of people to go in, so after some discussions among the students, two representatives were elected, Han Yue from the Artillery Division and Jiang Haoran from the Infantry Division.

When Han Yue and Jiang Haoran saw Li Mohan, they were stunned. They didn't expect this major general to be so young.

Li Mohan was also surprised that someone came to the door so soon after the advertisement was posted.

Li Mohan said to Han Yue and Jiang Haoran: "You are serious military students. If you are willing to come to a local army like me, it will give me face for Li, and I welcome it very much. But the ugly thing is, I am just now A major general and brigade commander, many of you may only start as squad leader or platoon leader, are you willing?"

Han Yue replied: "People who have no ability can't be promoted if they want to be promoted, and people with ability can't be stopped if they want to be promoted."

Li Mohan laughed loudly, "You are a bit interesting. I accept you guys~"

Han Yue and Jiang Haoran were overjoyed. Just as they were about to thank you, Li Mohan said again: "However, I want to conduct adaptive training for you. If you fail to pass the test, I will still kick you out."

"Yes~!"

"Yes!" Han Yue and Jiang Haoran saluted Li Mohan

The so-called adaptive training was the same as when the recruits were trained in Jiaozuo. These young soldiers, full of vigor and ideals, were quickly captured by Li Mohan's inflammatory and demagogic nationalist theories.

When the adaptive training was over, Han Yue and Jiang Haoran, who were the representatives of the soldiers, saw Li Mohan, and stood at attention with their legs together like a conditioned reflex, and at the same time raised their right hands forward, shouting: "Salute."

Oh~oh, all the students raised their arms to Li Mohan in unison

Li Mohan also raised his right arm to salute the students

Han Yue shouted loudly: "The ceremony is over." The students lowered their arms in unison, waiting quietly for Li Mohan to speak

Li Mohan asked loudly: "Han Yue, tell me, what are you stepping on?"

Han Yue replied: "Land."

Li Mohan scolded loudly: "Wrong, it is the land of the Holy God. It is the land of the Holy God watered by the tears, sweat and blood of countless ancestors of the Chinese nation. Repeat~"

"Yes~!" Han Yue replied loudly without hesitation: "It is the land of the Holy God. It is the land of the Holy God watered by countless ancestors of the Chinese nation with tears, sweat and blood."

Li Mohan continued to say loudly: "Our nation is a great nation that went abroad to Qin Emperor, Han Wu, Tang Zong and Song Zu. But now, it is just a poor creature moaning in humiliation! After the war in 1840, our nation The pride is gone! Those invaders are riding on our necks to do their best, and they trample on our dignity at will. Some people may say: Mr. Li Mohan, I am just an ordinary person, all I need is a job to support My family. Yes, you are right, life is too important. But I want to tell you. There is one thing in this world that is more important than life, and that is freedom! That is dignity!"

The Xuebingmen in the audience had their chests heaving violently and their breathing was short of breath.

Li Mohan's speech speed began to speed up, and he shouted loudly: "As long as the foreign national flags in Hankou, Tianjin, and Shanghai are still flying, our dignity will not exist! As long as those French, British, and Japanese are still in our Our dignity does not exist if we run rampant on our land! As long as this country called China is still divided and weak on the Asian map, our dignity does not exist! As long as people from other countries talk about China There will be a contemptuous laugh at the word, our dignity does not exist!"

Li Mohan became more and more excited as he spoke, waving his clenched hands back and forth in front of him, "What we need is not just food and clothing! It's a living space! A living space for the Chinese nation! This living space does not depend on begging and protesting." It is achieved through iron and blood! Others bully us, even the weakest nation will trample us, we will only cry: We express strong indignation and protest, such a person has no bones Yes! Such a person is despicable!

We should make the enemy tremble with the deafening bang of the cannon!We should crush their dignity and lives and let them know that we are not a bunch of cowards who only know how to protest!I am very proud, in front of me is a group of soldiers with unyielding blood for thousands of years!This blood once flowed in the veins of our ancestors, and they never surrendered!Now they're bubbling inside us, you tell me.Would you like it to cool down! ? "

In the end, Li Mohan even waved his fist, "My compatriots, long live China and the Chinese people!"Long live the Chinese nation~~Long live!"

The Xuebingmen in the audience could no longer restrain the surging passion in their chests, and shouted loudly: "Long live~Long live the Chinese nation~~Long live!"

Han Yue raised his arms and shouted, "Long live the Chinese nation~~Long live Li Mohan~!"

Affected by him, Xuebing's slogan immediately became "Long live the Chinese nation~~Long live Li Mohan~!"

Li Mohan didn't stop there. He lowered his hands to signal for everyone to be silent, and then changed his tone with a slightly sad tone, saying: "China is too poor and weak now, and China needs a strong person to appear to take all Only by concentrating manpower and material resources can we accomplish great things and concentrate our strength to fight a bloody way for our nation in the face of the encirclement of the great powers! It is nothing more than Germany, using iron and blood, as well as steel-like will, to fight for our nation. The descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties stand firm in such a world where the weak can eat the strong! But if you want to fight, you will die~~ Many of you may die for this, will you regret it?"

A student soldier jumped out and shouted: "Being a soldier is not afraid of death. If you are afraid of death, don't be a soldier. If you die for the prosperity of the country, you will be the soul of the country after death."

"Yeah ~ Soul of the Country~" Some of the more empathetic soldiers had tears in their eyes

Even more radical students found a white sheet, bit their fingers, and wrote the words "national soul" in blood.Seeing this, the other students also bit their fingers and signed the sheet.

When the matter developed to this point, Li Mohan himself was a little moved. He also pulled out his sword, cut his thumb, wrote the word "Li Mohan" on it, and said to the students: "From now on, it will be our other A military flag."

Li Mohan continued to recruit soldiers, and those Baoding military academy students called their friends and companions, and more than 20 Baoding military academy students came one after another.Under the influence of Li Mohan's brainwashing training and their companions, these Baoding soldiers soon became Li Mohan's followers.By controlling these officers, Li Mohan firmly held the army in his own hands.
