"British?" Wang Dali was also shocked when he heard this.
"What?" Xue Ju smiled slightly: "You don't dare anymore?"
"There is nothing to be afraid of. I just heard from old people in the past that if there was a conflict with foreigners, the imperial court would side with the foreigners and hunt them down even more ruthlessly than the foreigners. This is how the Boxers were killed back then."
Xue Ju pondered for a moment, and then said: "Do you think today's Fengjun is the same as the Manchus?"
"It's different." Wang Dali said without hesitation: "Actually, they are all people who have died once. I have nothing to be afraid of. I will listen to whatever you say."
Xue Ju smiled with satisfaction: "Don't worry, we won't do anything to kill the donkey. Although your mission will be very dangerous, remember one thing, we will always be your backing. Drive the British away from Weihaiwei."
It is our common wish to go out and make the entire land of Shandong free from those filthy things."
"That's right, I don't understand the truth, but if your home is taken over by others and you don't dare to fight for it, is that what you call a man?"
"Okay, since you are so passionate, I believe you can withstand the following training. Let's get familiar with the environment first. Get up at five o'clock tomorrow morning and the training will officially begin."
Wang Dali and the others didn't take it seriously at all. After so many years of life and death, they had never seen anything. No matter how hard the training was, could they still endure the pain of licking blood from the head of a knife? So they happily arrived at their residence. Although it was just a hard bed, it was clean and tidy, and everything
All very organized.
There were also specially prepared training uniforms, which were simple and neat to wear. They exuded a sense of heroism from every part of their body. They were quite satisfied.
Dinner was two dishes and one soup. There were also steamed buns and flower rolls. It was a delicious meal. There was also a special bathroom in the barracks, and I took a hot bath. This treatment was completely beyond Wang Dali's expectations. This was not a hardship.
Clearly here to enjoy.
Even the few brothers he brought were confused: "Boss, I don't think this is training. Instead, they are here to support the old man. What kind of medicine is sold in this Fengjun gourd?"
But they only had such a comfortable night. The next day when they were still in a daze, the wake-up call rang.
The first item is running, running fifty laps along the school field. If you fail to complete it, you will not have food. Wang Dali and the others are all poor children, and they usually don’t take walking seriously. At the beginning, it was very easy.
Everyone was full of energy and rushed forward. But after ten or even twenty laps, everyone's legs were already shaking.
Going further and further back, every lap felt like torture. I could only grit my teeth and hold on for dear life. Xue Ju looked on and muttered: "I didn't expect these guys to be in such good health. I would have changed if I had known better."
He ran away with a heavy load!"
In the last few laps, everyone was holding on with their own strength. Otherwise, they would have fallen down long ago. After they all finished, Xue Ju said with a smile: "Very good, you are better than I thought.
But there will be more exciting things next, so you must be prepared.”
Listening to Xue Ju's compliments, Wang Dali was still a little proud. I'm not even afraid of death, so what if I ran a few steps! But then he completely regretted it and didn't even dare to listen to the compliments anymore, because behind the compliments,
That means training straight lines twice as long until you can't take it anymore.
In fact, this is also the purpose of military training. The potential of the human body is infinite, and only through constant squeezing can it be released bit by bit. Not only Wang Dali and others, but also young people like Li Xun from Nanyang. In the first ten days, they were in the military camp
Among them, receive physical fitness and queue training.
Then the courses gradually increased, and they had to learn how to use firearms, grenades, mortars, and machine guns. There were also cold weapons courses, setting traps, laying mines, riding horses, swimming, driving, punting...
These courses filled their time so much that they had no free time at all. Two months later, the training content increased a lot. They had to learn wilderness survival courses and learn to use various resources in the forest to find food and food.
Discover poisonous substances in water sources, and learn to use these poisons to turn them into the deadliest weapons to deal with the enemy. Then they conduct simulations of various battlefields, including cities, jungles, mountains, swamps, and all imaginable environments.
.
For those who received the training, they had never thought that one person could learn so many things. Of course, as the study deepened, Wang Dali and Li Xun completely embarked on two different training routes. Wang
To put it bluntly, Dali and the others are terrorists, but they are just terrorists supported by the government. Through endless kidnappings and attacks, they inflict a price that the British cannot bear, and then drive them out.
As for young people from Southeast Asia such as Li Xun, the curriculum is complicated. They have to learn how to mobilize the people, how to organize militia, how to engage in guerrilla warfare with the colonial army, and how to use limited weapons to continuously bleed the great powers.
After the primary course is completed, they will go to the south. Zhang Tinglan has already secured a training base on Hainan Island for them to learn the secrets of jungle warfare. This will be the key to their survival in the future.
The youth training in Nanyang is still going on, and Wang Dali and the others have already started training one after another. The demon star that was filled with a bunch of murderous methods in his mind was released.
After this period of hard work, Wang Dali has become more powerful. His originally huge body has lost weight, but the muscles in his arms have become more bulging. Looking at his size and momentum, he actually feels like the first drop of blood.
.
"This man's name is Green. He is the head of the North China region of the British Swire Shipping Company. All shipping north of the Yangtze River is in his hands. Killing this man will be a great shock to the British."
"Don't worry, I promise to complete the task."
"Well, except for the first mission, you all have to choose your own targets, launch attacks, kill them, or kidnap them. We will not interfere at all. You can only stop when the British get out. But there is only one request.
, that is, no one is allowed to expose Fengjun as the mastermind behind this at any time. You are all out of righteous indignation. You just want to drive the British out of their hometown."
Wang Dali nodded heavily, and Xue Ju patted him on the shoulder. He smiled and said, "Remember to survive and wait to see China getting better and better!"
"Instructor, you still owe us a meal of soju. If I can't drink it, I won't give in!"
…
"Commander, Mr. Shaochuan has sent another telegram, urging you to go to Beijing as soon as possible. This is the third telegram." Yang Yuting said with a smile: "I'm afraid it won't be appropriate to delay it any longer."
Due to controlling the majority of the parliament, Li Yuanhong successfully became the president, and Zhang Tinglan also became the official vice president. This process seemed uneventful. After all, Fengjun's military power was there, and no one dared to stroke his beard. Even if
It was Cao Kun. He also restrained himself.
Later, the New Democratic Party elected Tang Shaoyi as the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, which was also approved. However, there were many problems next, including organizing the cabinet, implementing campaign promises, and handling relations with great powers. These matters are inseparable from Zhang Ting.
Lan's opinion.
Therefore, Tang Shaoyi sent telegrams several times, urging Zhang Tinglan to leave as soon as possible. Zhang Tinglan also knew that he could not delay it any longer. During this period, he also dealt with a large number of officials vigorously, and the officialdom of Fengtian was also shaken up.
This time Zhang Tinglan almost wiped out all the old bureaucrats left over from the former Qing Dynasty, and he did not let go of the officials either. The so-called officials are the lowest-level clerks. In ancient times, because of the so-called light corvee and low taxes, the number of officials was very small. Basically
There is no way to manage the place, so we can only use a large number of officials.
These petty officials are untouchables according to the law, and they have little chance of promotion. Their only pursuit is to exploit the people and extort money. They are the biggest worms in the place.
Zhang Tinglan has noticed this a long time ago, but in the past, there were not enough talents on hand, so these guys were not completely eliminated. As long as they passed the assessment, they could stay. But now there are a large number of highly educated students in Fengtian, and the place
The farms have also trained a large number of talents who understand civil affairs and agriculture.
After having this reserve, Zhang Tinglan became rude and took advantage of the opportunity to rectify the officialdom. He cleaned up all these people and replaced them with young people with clean wealth and high education level. Moreover, Wang Yongjiang also announced a new evaluation and promotion of officials.
According to the standard, any official must start from the grassroots level, level by level, step by step, before he can rise to a high position.
Although Zhang Tinglan ruined the jobs of many people by doing this, many people couldn't help but applaud because of the large number of vacancies that created opportunities for young people to enter government agencies. Especially with the improvement of management.
It is becoming more and more meticulous, and the number of civil servants recruited has also increased significantly. This is a very rare opportunity for young people, and everyone is working hard quietly.
The situation in Fengtian has stabilized, and the government's efficiency has also been greatly improved. Zhang Tinglan is also quite satisfied. Now that his nest is stable, it's time to make some moves.
"Then let's go to Beijing." Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "But it is a tiger's den and a dragon's pond. Once you enter Beijing, it is like rushing for the exam. However, if the students in the imperial examination do not do well in the exam, they can still start over. If we fail in the exam,
Well, then we can only be doomed!"
"Are you no longer confident in Zhuoyan?" Jiang Baili asked with a smile.
"Of course not, but I feel a little guilty!"
"Isn't that the same thing?" Jiang Baili said with a smile: "I'd like to say, how many people are you going to bring to Beijing this time, and who are you going to keep with you?"
Zhang Tinglan frowned. He has been thinking about this issue these days. How to arrange personnel involves the interests of all aspects. If it is not handled well, big trouble will occur. It has indeed cost Zhang Tinglan a lot of thought.
"In any case, the three eastern provinces are the foundations, and they are also under the pressure of two empires. They must be guarded by heavy troops. Only when the foundation is good can the branches flourish. I will only bring the Sixth Division into the pass this time.
The Eighth Division, the First Cavalry Division, and a tank regiment, and all the other troops stayed and garrisoned the place."
The elite force of the border defense force is the first six divisions, which are the earliest formed, have gone through the most battles, and are the most well-equipped. In comparison, the combat effectiveness of the sixth division is not top-notch. Yang Yuting said with some worry: "Zhuo
You know, the pass is a place where tigers den and dragons lag, so I think you should bring the First Division and the Tank Division there, so that you can be safer."
"No need!" Zhang Tinglan said very firmly: "I know how the troops in the pass are like. Even if they are our newly formed troops, there is no need to be afraid of them. What worries me is that once we leave Fengtian, Japan and Russia will take advantage of it.
Adding chaos and causing trouble on the border, the most powerful force must stay in the Northeast. If the Northeast is safe, I will be safe!"
Zhang Tinglan glanced at Jiang Baili and then at Yang Yuting. This was one of his two most important staff members. He would definitely not be able to do without their help when he went to Beijing. Whether to bring one or both of them did require some consideration.
.
Finally, Zhang Tinglan set his sights on Jiang Baili: "Brother Baili, when I come to Beijing this time, the military affairs of the Northeast will be handed over to you. The government will be overseen by Mr. Minyuan. In addition, Sun Anhu will be appointed as the commander of the Northeast Military Region, and Qin Wei will be appointed as the commander of the Northeast Military Region."
The Commander of the Mongolian Military Region is responsible for Inner and Outer Mongolia and the Northwest. Li Jinglin is appointed as the Commander of the Outer Northeast Garrison. You must take good care of your home affairs."
"Commander, don't worry. Now the Northeast has rules and regulations for all aspects. Everything should be done according to the rules. If it can't be solved, I will send you a telegram. Beijing is not far away anyway."
Jiang Baili did not take over everything, and Zhang Tinglan was very satisfied with his reaction. The reason why he kept Jiang Baili in the Northeast was because he did not have too many ambitions, and he was also decent and humble. As for Yang Yuting, he was much more cunning than Jiang Baili.
, once you leave him in his hometown, there is no guarantee that there will be no problems.
There are many smart people in the world, and you need to find things for them to do. Once there is nothing to do, these people will easily feel that they have lost their value and lose control. Therefore, it is better to take Yang Yuting with you, which can help you fight against Beiyang.
After some discussions, it was finally decided that Jiang Deng would be elected as the commander-in-chief of the Guan Nei Army, responsible for commanding all troops entering the Pass and protecting Zhang Tinglan's safety. Chang Yinhuai, as the intelligence leader, could not do without the other two veterans of the Feng Faction, Yuan Jinkai and Ji
Jin Chun also followed Zhang Tinglan.
This time we enter the customs to seize power, and we need to bring some old people with rich fighting experience and good roots. After all, ability is not the most important at this time, a firm stance is the key. Those who have a thousand connections with the customs
Those who are inextricably connected should stay outside the customs and deal with Japan and Russia.
After the personnel entering the customs were confirmed, the Fengjun army also entered the customs in a mighty manner. Jiang Deng chose to take Zhang Tinglan's place to attack the front station. Tang Shaoyi was assassinated last time. Zhang Tinglan must not have such a problem again. Safety along the way must be ensured with all his strength.
, the intelligence work in the capital has already started. Anyone who tries to harm the commander must be investigated and the hidden dangers eliminated in advance.
"Xin Yao, are you really willing to let me go to Beijing alone?"
Zhou Xinyao rolled her eyes at Zhang Tinglan: "You really wish I wouldn't go. I heard that there are several alleys in Beijing. Wouldn't it be a good place to go and tell stories about heroes and beauties?"
"My dear daughter-in-law, you have really wronged me. I am absolutely loyal to you!"
"Okay, don't coax me with sweet words. Do you think I don't want to go? Da Ya is in good health, and the second child is not at home, so someone must be at home to fulfill his filial piety! This is the destiny of a woman."
