Chapter 127: The Future (Three)

On March 11, 1913, in the woods of Baoding Chengguan, a group of young men in military uniforms were talking about what. These young men are fresh graduates of Baoding Army Officers School. Although the popularity of Baoding Military Academy is not as good as the Jiangbei Army Officers School in Xuzhou, when it comes to the improvement of facilities and the scientific nature of the training hierarchy, everything is urgent and cannot be compared with the Jiangbei Officers School that has not been perfected. Baoding School has been released.

A qualified officer must train a formal graduate officer according to the three years of Army Primary School, three years of Army Middle School, half a year of enlistment, three years of Baoding School, and half a year of internship. Their graduates started to enroll in the Qing Dynasty, and after ten years of hard training and study, and because of the delay in learning of previous battles since the restoration, they are finally waiting for graduation assignment. For them, they are full of hope for the future, but also embarrassing.

Their original foundation, the Beiyang troops, now only have 4 divisions! In addition to the 15th Division and 27th Division, which may continue, anyone can guess the future fate of the Beiyang Division, such as the 6th Division of the 4th Division, can be guessed. The prestigious person in the Chinese military is the quick-forming officer trained by the military academy of the Jiangbei grass-roots team! Now everyone is anxiously waiting for the assigned orders. Their old principal, Mr. Jiang Baili, also came from Tianjin to give them a lecture, meaning that they should not worry, the country must have something to rely on them. The Jiangbei system's divisions treat Baoding and Jiangbei quick-forming officers equally.

At this time, spring was already floating, and the woods had already drawn tender branches. There was a faint fragrance floating in the air. The long and cold winter in the north was about to pass. Although the spring was still chilly, it was full of vitality. A group of future young officers were wearing blue tweed student uniforms, singing and laughing in the woods, talking and talking.

"I was in the 27th Division during my internship, but I was considered to have met the An Meng army. If I were assigned to the An Meng army this time, I would be willing to die! I didn't want to wear other military uniforms when I saw their yellow coats and leather military caps! This time I beat the Japanese devils enough. The South Manchurian Railway has been martial law and transported their Kwantung Army's bodies tonight. Hey! Chinese people are not allowed to get close! One of the two ends in the house is my Shandong fellow villager who secretly took a look when he was pulling goods in a small convoy. Oh, the fucking carriages are so frozen that the Japanese are so frozen! A group of Japanese officers, holding the spirit position and guarding the front of the carriage. My fellow villager said, "He's so relieved... If he can be assigned to the An Meng army, I will do it too!"

"Don't count on An Meng Army! Those guys' eyes are all above their heads. We have also fought them before. The first chief of staff of An Meng Army died at the hands of Old Beiyang. I heard that their heroic cavalry commander, Colonel Hou Ming of the "Wolf Juxu" Cavalry regiment, said that we should not have any officers from Baoding! The reporters published it in the newspapers, and I feel embarrassed. This time they took Prince Su back to Tianjin and said that they would wait for the election to be held for trial. When we were Baoding, we camped in our school. Those cavalrymen were not so good? We didn't even look at us at the An Meng Army. If we arrived at An Meng Army, we would probably send you back to eat rice in a few days. I heard that the situation in the Chen Shanhe Division in Hubei was very big, and we welcomed our Baoding students. There were several divisions there, and we might have to use troops to the southwest and northwest immediately. Anyway, I could fill in the 18th Division this time, and maybe we would be stronger!"

"No matter which division is not the 4th, 6th, 15th, and 27th divisions, we have a future! The Jiangbei Army has risen too quickly. Although we have won all the battles, there are shortages of subordinate officers. I heard that if they want subordinate officers, they must be from the Qing Army Association? Is there a branch of the Qing Army Association in Baoding? Where can I join? Is it still considered an officer if I don't join the Qing Army Association now?"

"I will not join the Qing Army Association! Our young defense officers should not be involved in politics. If you serve the military well, it will become a good match. The commander shouted that soldiers should not interfere in politics, but also set up a Qing Army Association to control the army. The old warlords in Beiyang were defeated. Isn't this a new warlord? Anyway, there is no problem with the National Defense Army. There is no problem with fighting. I will not participate in this meeting or that meeting. I am a soldier for the country, not a soldier for his personal sake!"

When he was talking lively, he suddenly heard someone say something, and he was still so righteous. Everyone stopped talking and looked at the person talking. The man didn't care at all and was calm and composed. He was tall and square and black. He was Hui Yingci, the first place in the graduation assessment of this year of Baoding school. When others were still wearing the red board and shoulder stamps of the intern officer, he had already taken the rank of lieutenant. Now Yuchen's reputation is at its peak, and the yellow uniform of the Jiangbei Army is popular all over the country. When the Qing army will become countless young idols, he boldly said what he said in his heart. In this era of people's wisdom, it is not that no one is worried about Yuchen's dictatorship.

Especially some people with backgrounds in the Tongmenghui. Lieutenant Hui Yingci was one of them. He was originally appreciated by Jiang Baili. After talking to him alone for half an hour, he wanted to select him into the General Staff of Jiangbei Army. This was a one-step position! As a result, Hui Yingci's wish was still filled in the An Meng Army and the Suiyuan Border Defense Army adapted by Zhang Shaozeng's troops. The Suiyuan Border Defense Army was still in front of him. He seemed to be indifferent to the regular divisions with great prospects. Seeing that he was talking so unscrupulously, the officers below did not dare to talk, and they all spoke and dispersed, leaving the young man independent of the middle, as if there was a plague on him.

A buzzing sound rang again: "He must naturally grasp the world that Yuchen has won. What's strange about this? If he is the silence of the people, we will naturally speak out against him. But now the world is better than the people? And we also attach great importance to the honor of our soldiers. Brother Hui has phlegm, so let's not pay attention to him."

"That's right, isn't he open to the election for everyone to participate? I think he's still too generous! China is so poor now, I think only militarism can save us! Germany is strong because of Bismarck, and Japan is strong because of the Meiji Restoration. All of them are trying their best to promote militarism and concentrate the will and determination of the country. Now we are not as good as others. Finally, there is a person who has the hope to gather everyone's will. I also think Yuchen is still weak! The one who can save our country now is us young soldiers! Relying on those politicians, bureaucrats, and wealthy businessmen? Bah!"

"Yes! The Jiangbei Army relied on a group of young soldiers who were united by Yuchen to fight together. They didn't have money and were not afraid of death. Only Yuchen was making the orders in the upper and lower parts. Everyone was trying to do the same thing, but what was the result? It took more than a year to defeat the dusk Beiyang. If I think it was, Beiyang was not defeated by Yuchen, but was destroyed by internal struggles in their own internal factions! During the most critical battle between the north and the south, Chen Huan and Cao Kun made a big fuss and did not support each other. They each passed through the Yangtze River.

For the war. What's behind? In order to exclude Feng Huafu, Lao Duan refused to give the command of the front-line general army to him completely. As a result, everyone collapsed. If our country wants to be prosperous and strong in the future, we must learn these lessons. Treat Yuchen as our Bismarck and Ito Hirowen, and lead the revival of our country! If we young soldiers do not support our natural leader, who else should we support? Don't look at Brother Hui, I respect him very much on weekdays. If he wants to say these stupid words again, I will be the first to beat him!"

After the discussion, it was a little distorted. Everyone talked about the general election of Zhili Province, mocking Duan Zhigui for being servile in front of the Jiangbei Army General Command of Tianjin. Some people were worried about the fate of the 4th and 6th divisions, and even more worried about what to do if they were assigned there. The grove had become a noisy market. Only Hui Yingci and three like-minded young officers walked slowly with serious expressions, as if they had countless thoughts in their hearts. When it was lively, they saw a young officer jumping over from a distance, shouting loudly: "Distributed! Distribution! The list has come out! There are still some conversations!" The grove suddenly started to rise from the forest.

After the waves, these young officers did not care about their reserved image, and surrounded their classmates with sweat. They asked in a hurry, and ran to the school with a hurried attitude. The student officer who reported the message calmly and laughed loudly: "All of them are assigned to the 13 divisions of the Jiangbei Army System! No one is assigned to other places!" A cheering sound suddenly sounded in the woods, and the military cap was thrown high. This is really great news! It shows Yuchen's welcome attitude towards them, Baoding graduates. In the future, the Jiangbei Army will be the main body of the National Defense Forces. As the first batch of regular military academies graduates in the Republic of China, they have a bright future!

Only Hui Yingci stood in the distance with a heavy expression, but she didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he said softly: "Soldiers... are not personal tools." But this sentence was as low as a sigh, and it floated in the wind in the blink of an eye. Now, in the hearts of most young officers who talk about it, there was only ecstasy.

Yuchen naturally didn't know the joys, anger, sorrows and joys of these young officers. Now that he had handled a series of matters he negotiated with Japan, his entire energy was devoted to the establishment of the future government parliament. Although he already had a firm belief in his heart, he wanted to hold all power firmly in his own hands and let himself move forward with this country. His past experiences, for him now, were simply a natural mission. He had strong confidence in himself and even a little paranoid. What he was most wary of now was the challenge of his power. And for these challenges, he believed that he would ruthlessly suppress it. No matter what means he used.

But he always wanted to do the best things about face. How to successfully unify the provinces in the future, what position he is in, and what kind of name he is in? He already has a case in his heart, and has repeatedly discussed it with his few of his most confidant think tanks. These are no longer a problem. He believes that under the comprehensive arrangement and adjustment of his skills and prestige, the future political map of the Republic of China under his personal imprint will surely be realized.

What really made him feel a little upset was the uneasy of his understanding of history, which caused him the uneasiness of what measures should be taken to be prosperous and strong in the Republic of China in the future. For him, unifying the provinces and arranging the government structure prepared in his mind was just a foundation, and how to lead the rejuvenation of the country and nation is a real challenge.

China was indeed terminally ill by the late Qing Dynasty! The country suffered from institutional and cultural diseases from top to bottom. Only a small part of the improvement could not make the country go further. What could he do? He locked himself in the house countless times and thought for a long time. He recalled the many history of the era he came to analyze and diagnose this era, and combined with his personal experience of being here for more than a year, he tried to find a general direction.

This kind of thinking is very tormenting and also makes him extremely angry for a period of time. In a fog and the sauce-cup culture that has been deposited for hundreds of years, it is really a bit too heavy for this 25-year-old young man. Yuchen knew that he could only determine a general principle, and if this principle is wrong, he would be delayed or take the wrong path, he would not be able to bear the responsibility of this historical. But he still had to make a decision.

After a long period of thinking, he finally decided that after establishing his dominance, he would start to complete several principled things. After making these decisions, he finally relaxed a lot. What are the principles? The short words and sentences that Yuchen drew on paper when he was confined to himself have become priceless treasures of national documents in the future, which has attracted countless people's research and nurtured countless historians. Yuchen thought at the time:

First of all, we must establish a complete fiscal system. In the late Qing Dynasty, the country did not have a modern fiscal system. There was only a vague central finance but no local finance, and the tax system was completely medieval. The country's financial resources could not be concentrated, and local construction was made in a diminishing way, which was not beneficial except for allowing officials to do it. What must be done is to divide central and local taxes, establish central and local fiscal systems, abolish miscellaneous taxes such as likin. Establish a modern national budget and final accounting system, and truly begin to manage national finance from the digital perspective. At that time, Yuchen envisioned the principle that combined the local autonomy system, distinguish central and local tax types, live within their means, reduce the burden of people's livelihood, eliminate various bad policies, and strictly implement the national fiscal plan in accordance with the budget.

With a complete fiscal system and the fiscal division between the central and local governments, the relationship between the central and local governments was discussed. Yuchen decided to resolutely implement the local autonomy plan. The current central government does not have the ability to control the whole country! In this way, the central bureaucracy system will be huge and unbearable! The central government's financial resources should be used as the industrial construction of military, diplomacy, education, transportation and some key departments that are completely controlled by the central government! Instead of raising a group of administrative bureaucrats spread all over the country! Since the local government has local finances, it should do local affairs based on the actual financial resources of the local government. Local officials are elected by local council representatives and are responsible to the local governments. The central government does not care about so many local affairs.

Secondly, Yuchen puts education in the most important position. He plans to promote six-year compulsory education in the name of the central government within the provinces and regions controlled by Jiangbei, with the first and first year of primary school, and the second year of primary school. For a country, education issues are really the most basic and the most important thing to do. In his memory, Japan rebuilt from the ruins of World War II, and the first administrative order was the free lunch supply of compulsory schools across the country. When Israel was founding, Arab coalition forces on all sides fought

The fire is endless. Tomorrow, when the country is still unknown, the Israeli Prime Minister at that time signed the order to force the implementation of compulsory education nationwide and provide free lunch! China has too many regrets in this matter from the past to the present, and Yuchen does not want to leave regrets in his own hands. Due to financial resources, he can only implement compulsory education for only six years in some provinces and regions, but he has made up his mind that this is something he must constantly improve and stick to in the future.

Again, Yuchen probably has some selfish intentions. The whole country's army is no longer divided into provincial and central military forces, and is completely organized by the National Defense Forces. It is not under the command and dispatch of any local council. It can only obey the central government. In other words, it can only obey him! When the local forces are dispersed and not strong enough, he is ready to spend two or three years to solve this problem once and for all! First, it is stipulated in the constitution, and then enforce it, even if there are a few more civil wars! Only when the army is in its own hands can we talk about implementing its own series of policies! If this is a warlord, I am a national warlord, and I will take this title to the forefront! When writing this key point, Yuchen gritted his teeth.

There is also the problem of industrial construction. Unfortunately, Yuchen has no experience in this area. He is just a fan of military history and history. But he vaguely understands that the construction of heavy industry can only be carried out by himself. Within the provinces and regions controlled by Jiangbei, it is necessary to organize and build according to the existing foundation, and borrow foreign debts are not hesitant. Japan once made a fortune in the upcoming war and strengthened Japan's industrial system. Why can't he do it? This problem is time-consuming and heavy, and the financial resources are limited, so it is necessary to arrange effective personnel to carry out the construction of the entire heavy industry first, so that Europe will pay for the construction of heavy industry in the first World War. This is also a matter of principle!

As for other issues, it was a little understatement in the sloppy documents written by Yuchen. There were even some indecent words such as "nothing to do with me" that were automatically ignored by researchers who were respected later. Everyone only noticed the highlights of Yuchen. As for the results of the future, how many wind and rain will be worn out, and the changes and even side effects caused by these policies were all later. When Yuchen finally closed his eyes and handed the pile of paper in his hand to his close staff to discuss, after long thinking, he only had a refreshing expression on his face. The future is waiting for him, and the New Republic of China is also waiting for him. The election is about to end, and the counting of votes is about to begin. A new history is in front of everyone.

With the sound of the car horn, Li Yuan had already been waiting for Yuchen at the door of her villa. Li Zhangyun, who should have been busy with her, was accompanied by her. Yuchen seemed to have finished something and called to come for afternoon tea. She even made a few jokes with Li Yuan on the phone. The little girl's mood improved. Yuchen seemed to have found a way to relieve stress, which was to come to her for afternoon tea and chat with a few selected friends from all walks of life in Shanghai. This made the little girl feel like a hostess. She even thought of the days after Yuchen retired, she would be with her every day, arrange such afternoon tea every day, and chat with friends. How good would it be? Thinking of this, Li Yuan's face smiled.

Unlike the little girl's simple happiness, Li Zhangyun was full of anxiety. Yuchen seemed to be much colder to him these days. He also brought up a staff member to discuss these matters in many financial matters. He said that he had taken the lead in hosting heavy industry and railway lines. Yuchen criticized four big words "bureaucratic capital". I don't know what he was thinking. He also wanted to be the finance minister of the future government! Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at his daughter. Alas, his daughter, Yuchen

When I came here, I would only smile happily beside him, and I didn’t know how to blow a pillow wind. It would be great if my daughter could help me! He was confident that the Li family would become the number one family in the Republic of China! He had to gamble so much on Yuchen, and if there was no reward, it would be such a fool. But now it seems that this future prospect is still in the midst of clouds and fog. Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but sigh, stretched his neck and wanted to see Yuchen get out of the car. Today, I would like to have a good talk with him no matter what!

The father and daughter had different thoughts, but they were looking forward to the same feeling. But it was not Yuchen who got out of the car, but Wang Dengke, the tall deputy chief. He walked towards the two of them with a smile, bent down slightly to salute. The girl's face immediately collapsed, and almost cried. Why did he say he couldn't come again after he had agreed? Li Zhangyun was thinking nervously, did Yuchen know that he couldn't come here? That was a very bad thing... Seeing Wang Dengke approaching, Li Yuan asked Wang Dengke aggrievedly, "He... Where is he?" Wang Dengke smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The commander is angry, and no one dares to remind him that it's time to set off, and he is dealing with things again. Chief Wu was careful and asked me to come and say hello to the lady, but he didn't expect Mr. Yiyu to be here too."
Chapter completed!
