Film and television started from Yan Jiecheng in the Siheyuan

After all the affairs were arranged, Zhu Chuanwen was mainly waiting for the end of this melee.

This time, the world war will not take the international situation into consideration.

There are two aspects related to the current Presidential Palace.

One aspect is that there is an area on the mainland that is considered a battlefield.

It was the war between Rizi and Dezi over Jiaozhou Bay in Shandong.

There is nothing much to say about this war. It was simply because Zi was jealous of Dezi's interests and wanted to replace Dezi's privileges in Shandong.

Because Dezi's forces in Shandong were isolated and helpless and he could not get any support.

The war did not last long. It ended shortly after the beginning of 14 years.

But in fact, through this war, we can also see Japan's current strength.

Its strength is considered good in the East, but it is not ranked among the best in the world.

Three or four thousand German troops could resist fifty thousand Japanese troops.

If it weren't for Yingzi's help, who knows how many people would have been killed and how long it would have taken to get these thousands of Dezi.

But in practical terms, this war does not bring any benefits to the presidential office.

Although the war took place on the homeland, the homeland did not even receive the status of a belligerent.

Apart from the large number of civilians affected and injured, there is nothing else related.

The second is that just now, the Presidential Palace finally won the opportunity to join the war.

The world war has already begun for three years, and the Presidential Office has not expressed any opinion yet. The country's weak national strength is definitely the most important aspect.

Even compared with the weakest Western forces, the Presidential Office is not powerful enough.

Another thing is that below the Presidential Palace, all are ruled by warlords. The army is the foundation of the warlords in various places. Since they are all private armies, no one is willing to sacrifice their own power.

The other is also a day that has been obstructing the Presidential Palace from participating in the war internationally and does not want the Presidential Palace to show its presence internationally.

By 17, the right time had finally come.

Many Western forces can no longer withstand the consumption of war and need support.

It just so happened that there were smart people in the Presidential Government who saw this opportunity.

I thought of a way to join the war in a roundabout way.

That is to send workers to Europe, contribute their strength to the war through labor, and make their voices heard internationally.

After arriving in the West, these laborers were mainly responsible for hard labor such as digging trenches, loading and unloading ammunition, building roads and bridges, etc.

Although they are laborers, they are actually doing the work of engineers, working seven days a week, basically without rest throughout the year, and working more than ten hours a day.

Even if it is stipulated in the labor contract, workers do not need to go to the battlefield.

However, when working on the front line, encountering war is inevitable and you are faced with the threat of artillery fire at any time.

Many times, when you pick up a gun, you have to go to the battlefield, and casualties are inevitable.

This kind of labor may sound unfriendly, but it actually helps the presidential office improve its international status.

At least we should remember the atrocities committed by the Qing Dynasty and the unequal treaties signed with the Russians in various countries.

Because of the participation of workers in the war, many of these unequal treaties could be abolished.

Several defeated countries lost their qualifications and were driven out.

Not to mention the sovereignty issue, just from the economic aspect, at least several hundred million silver dollars of benefits can be gained.

Britain and France sent more than 100,000 workers to the Presidential Palace.

The Russians mainly recruited people from the Northeast, and no one has counted the original history.

But Zhu Chuanwen controlled the railway, so of course he had no idea of ​​this number.

During the war years, no less than 100,000 laborers went to Russia.

Together with those who went to Russia in previous years, the number of people from outside the Great Wall who contributed to Russia in the Russian area would not be less than 500,000, which is already a very large number.

In the industrial age, other powers are short of labor and population.

But the East has the largest population in the world and has huge potential.

It’s no wonder that the higher-ranking forces all want to get a piece of this land.

By the time the war was over, it was already 1918.

The winners and losers on the main battlefield have been gradually determined.

Things in the east have basically calmed down, but the only period of strength in the east has also begun to become restless.

"Governor, Fengtian is going to take action against us."

Teacher Guo, who was born in Fengtian, reported to Zhu Chuanwen.

"Mao Chen, don't be impatient. How could Feng Tian be so bold as to fight us?"

After the military factory made a breakthrough in research, manufacturing small-caliber artillery was no longer a problem for Zhu Chuanwen.

The resources in Heilongjiang Province are also extremely abundant, and there is no shortage of all the minerals needed for the military industry.

After the artillery caught up, Zhu Chuanwen's strength had far surpassed Fengtian.

During these two years, Fengtian was severely suppressed by Zhu Chuanwen.

If there hadn't been trouble behind the scenes, supporters Fengtian and Zhu Chuanwen would have been trying to strike a balance.

The strength of the two sides is actually no longer on the same level.

"I heard that they looted a bunch of arms that were sold to the presidential palace someday, worth 40 million."

With 40 million worth of arms, if you only buy rifles, you can buy 2 million.

Of course, the troops cannot be equipped with just rifles. Machine guns, artillery, cars, trucks, and other equipment must also keep up.

But no matter how you calculate it, these equipments are enough to equip several divisions, and thirty to fifty thousand people should not be a problem.

Zhu Chuanwen himself was also engaged in arms business, but each time the business was only worth tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of silver dollars.

It is far from comparable to this business worth tens of millions.

The industrial gap is actually quite large.

"Who are you trying to fool? If no one cooperates, does a guy named Zhang have the guts to touch anything in the Presidential Palace?"

It was said to be an armed robbery, but in fact it was a political struggle.

The Zhang family of Fengtian is good at using their sleeves to manipulate things, but they cannot defeat Zhu Chuanwen alone.

It is inevitable to seek external assistance. When the strength is not enough, you have to look for the big brother.

Along the way to making a fortune, Fengtian is best at doing these things.

Life is definitely not enough with only a big brother abroad, and most of the time he is out of reach.

Fengtian also needs its big brother at home.

After Yuan Shikai fell, there were many factions in the Presidential Palace and the internal fighting was fierce.

Fengtian is a force of considerable size, with capable younger brothers, and no shortage of people to recruit.

In any case, Fengtian has the territory of a province and the military strength of several divisions. No one dares to underestimate it in this era.

"No matter what, with these equipments, Fengtian is considered to be strong and powerful, and it is already a big threat to us."

Commander Guo was originally from Fengtian, but he was actually a progressive person and had long joined the progressive alliance.

After Zhu Chuanwen revealed the true nature of Fengtian, he began to hate Fengtian.

What the Fengtian clique did this time actually crossed the political bottom line.

Although the warlords were fighting fiercely, most of them were friends who had trained together in Tianjin and had a close relationship with each other.

The warlords are actually quite disciplined and have their own set of unspoken rules.

For example, melee combat is acceptable, but warlord wars only want the chassis and not human lives.

There had been so many years of chaos, but no warlord had been killed. No matter if a warlord failed in a political or military struggle, he could flee to a concession or seek refuge in a foreign country.

By announcing his resignation, the main thing is to withdraw from the fight and live the life of a rich man.

He can even accumulate strength by stepping down, and then make a comeback when he is strong enough.

Therefore, the warlords of this period may have no bottom line towards the people.

But the bottom line between each other is still quite high.

Fengtian has always been responsive to the Presidential Government, and this wave of looting is actually quite unethical.

But this cannot be said to be a wrong thing to do, equipment worth 40 million silver dollars.

It can be said that a warlord can be created instantly.

Anyone who sees the opportunity will be tempted, and anyone who sees it will be confused.

Fortunately, this batch of weapons came from daily loans, and no one actually paid for it.

Otherwise, without a war, this matter would be impossible to overcome.

"Then let's fight him. These soldiers haven't experienced any battles yet, so we can just treat it as training."

Although Zhu Chuanwen likes peace, he does not hate war.

After the replacement of old soldiers with new ones, there has been no opportunity for actual combat.

When Zhu Chuanwen formed the new army, there were bandits and Russians to fight.

But now the Russians in Heilongjiang Province are just puppets, working together with Zhu Chuanwen to fool the Russians in China. Of course, we cannot fight them.
The bandits were either incorporated or forced to cooperate, and the remaining ones could not survive in Heilongjiang Province and left the province.

Zhu Chuanwen and other new recruits were well trained, but they had never experienced any decent battles.

"Governor, do you want to launch a full mobilization and take over the three provinces outside the Great Wall in one fell swoop?" one of his subordinates suggested to Zhu Chuanwen.

"Let's see if Fengtian wants to put on a show for Rizi or really wants to go to Heilongjiang Province. If he really wants to go to Heilongjiang Province, we should occupy Jilin Province first. Let's leave Fengtian to them. I really don't want to have too much to do with Rizi."

Zhu Chuanwen thought for a moment and said.

Sometimes in warlord wars, the initiative is not actually in the hands of the warlords.

Since he had received such a huge benefit from Zi Ri, he must express his gratitude to Zi Ri.

In response to Zhu Chuanwen, pretending to want to unify the areas outside the Great Wall meant helping the Rizu people open up all the trade routes outside the Great Wall.

Although selling arms is very profitable, it does make a lot of money.

But in fact, since the Qing Dynasty had ambitions both inside and outside the Great Wall, it was not willing to sell too many arms to such warlords.

What they are most willing to sell is actually opium.

Zhu Chuanwen also completely banned these things in his own territory.

It can be said that a large source of income has been cut off.

The most hated warlord now is Zhu Chuanwen, and it is not surprising at all that Zhu Chuanwen is the most hated warlord now.

Fengtian is under pressure from the day, so it is not impossible that he will have to put on a show with Zhu Chuanwen.

And even if Fengtian really became arrogant, Zhu Chuanwen didn't want to destroy Fengtian now.

I still need this force to provide me with a buffer for my life.

As for how to make the most of life, Zhu Chuanwen still trusts Fengtian's ability.

Of course, this is mainly because the Fengtian clique has capable people, such as Adjutant Yang, who is good at diplomacy and good at coping with life.

I never expected that someone who usually appears so pro-Japanese is so staunchly anti-Japanese.

Zhu Chuanwen was very familiar with this person, the famous "Little Zhuge of Northeast China".

Zhu Chuanwen was not poached, mainly because he was the most important think tank in Fengtian.

If this person was poached, Zhu Chuanwen would really be worried that the Fengtian clique would be sold out by Zi Shi and would help Zi Shi count money.

Historical facts have also proved that without this person, Fengtian really lost its military advisor.

The reputation of the Feng clique was mainly due to its hypocrisy and it was not that bad when it did not fully cooperate.

Fighting against Fengtian would be the biggest direct war Zhu Chuanwen had ever experienced.

Although the Russians were stronger than Fengtian before, Zhu Chuanwen did it through strategy.

The Russian garrison was divided and dismembered, and there was no large-scale frontal corps combat.

Zhu Chuanwen certainly did not underestimate Fengtian's strength.

Although the Fengtian Army at this time was still a standard lazy local army.

They have not undergone rigorous training, have no core ideas of their own, have no strict military rules and discipline, and still have the previous bandit style.

However, with today's advanced equipment, these troops, no matter how weak they are, still have a certain combat effectiveness.

It is definitely impossible that Zhu Chuanwen is still hiding in the rear.

I have to go to the front line in person to supervise the battle to feel at ease.

"Brother Chuanwen, we are going to fight again, right?"

Once again, Zhu Chuanwen was sent to fight, and Zhu Chuanwen's small family alone had a group of people.

In the past two years, Xian'er and Nawen gave birth to another baby.

Although the Zhu family has no daughters, Zhu Chuanwen now has four sons.

Zhu Chuanwen's small family alone has seven people.

In this day and age, sons are still slightly better than daughters.

During the war years, life was not so stable, and the son was more resilient.

"Nezha, Xian'er, you two don't have to worry. After all these years of fighting, when have you ever seen me put myself in danger?"

Zhu Chuanwen needs a lot of time to comfort his two daughters-in-law.

If he were like other warlords and had eight or ten wives, it would be difficult to deal with him.

It takes a lot of time to deal with the backyard every day.

"There has never been peace for so many years. When can we live a peaceful life?" Xian'er sighed.

Xian'er's personality became more and more traditional, and she was increasingly assimilated into Zhu Wei's family.

It’s the same even if you have learned to read and write over the years.

Ever since the Tan family came to Bingcheng from Shandong, Xian'er has become more resolute and docile.

Living a peaceful and safe life and raising children became Xian'er's greatest pursuit.

Xian'er is a little too easily influenced by the people she is close to. She is easily assimilated into whoever she follows.

"The Zhang family in Fengtian is dishonest. We need to teach them a lesson. As long as the lesson is profound this time, it is possible to fight for ten years of peace."

Peace is the most luxurious thing in this era.

Even without a large-scale war, small-scale conflicts will not end.

In this day and age, there is no way to avoid these things.

If you want peace, you can only get it through war.

"Brother Chuanwen, do you need to send a message?"

Na Wen asked, after the old prince disappeared.

In recent years, Na Wen has shown more and more signs of developing into a strong woman.

Even though Zhu Chuanwen was not so short of talent, Na Wen still controlled the two largest official newspapers in Heilongjiang Province.

This growth direction was a little beyond Zhu Chuanwen's expectations.

Judging from the facts now, Nawen, who has received twenty years of education as a lady from a wealthy family, likes to pursue her career more than Xian'er.
