The First Warlord of the Republic of China

.

After the year of Guichou, it will be the year of Jiayin.

The Jiayin (tiger) year was the year when the First World War broke out. This tiger ate several people. Shaoyang and Wutu are yang soils with a balance of yin and yang, belonging to the second and third, so among the twelve earthly branches, Yinmu has the heaviest yang energy and the most violent nature.

Yang is active, and Yin is quiet.

In history, Einstein once argued with Bohr on the issue of "God plays dice".

Bohr believed that God was playing dice, while Einstein believed that 'God does not play dice'. Einstein represented the ideas of most Westerners and still simply observed the material world. [

On this issue, traditional Chinese academics have already realized very clearly that if God does not play dice, then the world will have no life.

The development of the material world is only the negative side of yin and yang, while the invisible yang is full of uncertainty, because the yang elementary particles do not have any laws, they just change according to a certain probability, and can even appear at the same time without any regularity. several places.

It is precisely because of this uncertainty that one kind of 'cause' can have many 'effects', and the specific 'effect' has to be random, or it depends on fate, just as the Buddhists say, 'cause—fate— - Fruit, and this "fate" is very variable, and there are many forces that can interfere, and the most disturbing one is the human spirit.

When physicists in later generations observed elementary particles, they found that they had caused interference to the elementary particles during the observation process, and they could get whatever results they wanted to observe.

The first is probability, the second is the interference of spiritual power, and the third is unknown...

This is the infinite change of the invisible world of yang, and the ancient Chinese sages used this physical characteristic to create the way of the yang god. Some used spring thunder and autumn thunder to turn the yin god into yang (more dangerous), and some After soaking with the golden elixir (relatively slow), in the end the world is full of incarnations outside the body, and from then on it lives the same life as the Three Realms.

This is the reason why the ancient Chinese sages were unwilling to develop science and technology. The development of science and technology will inevitably mean the demise of cultivation culture, and at the same time science and technology will bring a series of troubles.

Obviously the Westerners are in big trouble this time.

After the global capitalist countries developed by scientific and technological progress divided up China's wealth through the two Opium Wars, the wealth began to concentrate in Europe.

Where there is wealth, there is war.

The accumulation of wealth allowed Europeans to taste the pain of the two world wars. The First World War was an unprecedented, unprecedented scale war that spread to all parts of the world.

The smell of war is getting stronger and stronger, and even ordinary people in Europe can smell it.

Today's war lacks only a fuse.

Jiang Yu understands this very clearly, because he knows what the situation in Germany is like.

"The war is about to break out. The Germans and the Allied Powers such as Britain and France have provoked an arms race. Although Germany has strong industrial capabilities, it has manufactured more arms than any country in Britain and France, and its military expenditure has increased by 380, that is, It is said that the arms race has been maintained, and there must be a war to release it, otherwise Germany will blow up like a balloon with too much air, so now all they need is a fuse, and the big things are all It can't stop the outbreak of this war." Jiang Yu firmly analyzed to the senior officers of the National Defense Forces.

"Marshal, then which side should we stand on?"

"First see which result is in our best interests, and we will support which side. Then see which side will win, and we can't fall into the losing camp." Jiang Yu said to them, only to see the building of the military headquarters There was a big cage inside the staff department, and there were two roosters fighting fiercely inside. Jiang Yu walked over, looked at the two roosters and asked with a smile, "Who do you think will win?"

"The small rooster looks small, but it fights fiercely and tenaciously, and has sharp beak and claws. The big rooster looks mighty, but it has no power, its will is weak, and it is not much bigger, so the little rooster will win." Jiang Fangzhen carefully After thinking for a while, he continued: "That is to say, Germany will win. First of all, Germany's industrial strength is already the sum of Britain and France, and its army has a strong will and spirit that Britain and France do not have. So why would it lose? "

"No, you should consider the United States first. Although the industrial strength of Germany is the sum of Britain and France, the industrial strength of the United States is the sum of the entire Europe. That is to say, if the United States wants to support someone, as long as that side has enough money, it will be You can buy combat materials that let all the guns and artillery fire as much as you want. The Europeans can kill each other, which is exactly what the Americans want to see, because the Americans want to make money, and Britain and France obviously have more money than Germany, and the British and French armies have no willpower. Just supporting Britain and France will not end the war quickly. Therefore, no matter from any angle, the United States will support the Allies of Britain and France, and even participate in the war in order to share the spoils at the end of the war." Jiang Yu analyzed: "Despite the will of the German Army Power is very strong, but the Europeans are limited in this area, so in the end Germany will lose the war because they are too short of material.”[

In terms of spirit and will, Asian spiritually civilized countries are relatively strong, except of course India, which is indeed a spiritually civilized country, but Indians' artistic talents are higher than their war talents, and they are called dancing countries.

The spirit can indeed make up for the lack of material, which can be fully reflected in the later Korean War. If it is said which is the kingly way, who can say clearly!But in general, with the current world development trend, material still has the upper hand.

And the development of matter will inevitably corrode the spirit, and the development of the spirit will inevitably despise matter.

Just like yin and yang, yang always dominates yin.

Matter and spirit in this era, matter becomes yang, and spirit becomes yin.

"If Germany will lose this war, what should we do?" Jiang Fangzhen and the others never thought that Germany would lose, and they didn't know how to deal with it.

"This is a war where there will be no winners or losers, or a war where both sides will lose. So the best way is to sit back and watch the tigers fight, and seize the time to develop their own strength while the Europeans are fighting. The longer the war lasts , the better for us. So we have to secretly help Germany and find a way to prolong the war. Although Germany will lose the war, because our industry depends on those German technicians and engineers, we can only maintain Neutral, while secretly helping Germany, while doing business with the Allies."

If Jiang Yu really can't resist the temptation to declare war on Germany, then the result will definitely not be worth the candle. After all, the industry he has developed now still largely relies on those German engineers and technicians. Once they go on strike, many industrial productions will be in trouble. semi-paralyzed state.

Jiang Fangzhen and the others immediately understood, and Jiang Yu quickly unified the position of the high-level National Defense Forces in the face of this unprecedented war, and then exchanged views with Yuan Shikai.

Yuan Shikai also vaguely sensed the strange European atmosphere, and was very surprised when he learned of Jiang Yu's neutral stance. You must know that Jiang Yu was supported by the Germans.

At this time, Yuan Shikai gradually felt old and weak, and the central government was gradually controlled by Jiang Yu, so he couldn't raise his spirits too much.

Yuan Shikai didn't want to worry too much about these things. At this time, Yuan Shikai gradually felt that the curse that the Yuan family man would not live to be 60 was still lingering on him.

After all, Yuan Shikai was born in the Yuan family's old house, and he is still a man "sealed" by the Feng Shui of the Yuan's old house.

Therefore, Yuan Shikai began to fantasize about using the emperor's air to change his luck.

One day when Yuan Shikai and Jiang Yu were chatting on the phone, they talked about the issue of constitutional monarchy. Jiang Yu smiled and said, "Don't do nine."

This sentence made Yuan Shikai baffled, so Yuan Shikai never wanted to understand what this sentence meant.

Jiang Yu's words were naturally full of deep meaning, and he didn't know whether Yuan Shikai could understand them.

Yuan Shikai is a hero, like Cao Cao, but he is obviously not as educated as Cao Cao. If Jiang Yu said this to Cao Cao, then Cao Cao must be able to understand it, because Cao Cao has studied "Book of Changes" deeply.

It is also because of Cao Cao's deep research on "Book of Changes", so Cao Cao never became emperor in his life.

The emperor is the king of the ninety-five, the nine is the extreme number, and the five resides in the middle palace. When he is prosperous, he shakes the world, and when he dies, he is the great evil of Wuji.

It is equivalent to saying that if you become an emperor, this person's luck will come to an end, or his achievements will also come to an end, and it is impossible to go any further.

For example, in the world of the Zhao family in the Song Dynasty, why is there always half and half? [

Because Song Taizu became emperor without occupying the whole world, his extreme value has been determined.

Yuan Shikai didn't have much research on "Book of Changes", but it doesn't mean that he doesn't have such talents around him. An aide in the presidential palace who has some research on "Book of Changes" said to Yuan Shikai cryptically: "Nine are extremely powerful, and success depends on strength." Go in."

This sentence suddenly made Yuan Shikai hesitate very much. Thinking that Jiang Yu had no interest in the throne, he suddenly felt that this was not a fun thing.

It's like eating, eating alone doesn't feel like eating, but two people eat quickly.

Especially the emperor is above tens of thousands of people, but at this time Yuan Shikai's Beiyang faction is trying to suppress Jiangyu's East China faction, this emperor can only be a fake emperor.

In this way, Yuan Shikai's thoughts on becoming emperor gradually faded.

The eldest son of the Yuan family, Yuan Keding, fell while riding a horse last year, but unlike in history, he did not break his leg, so he did not go to Germany for treatment.

Therefore, Yuan Keding has not been fooled by Kaiser Wilhelm II, and his thoughts on the monarchy are still relatively weak.

The changes of the Yuan family father and son did not concern Jiang Yu, nor did it matter to him whether Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself emperor. With the approach of World War I, Jiang Yu's hoarding of important supplies had entered a critical moment.

Only Shanghai, Hangzhou and other ports are very busy, and boatloads of rubber and grain are constantly being moved to warehouses on the port, especially grain and cotton. This year, China's grain exports have decreased significantly, while grain imports have increased sharply.

The price of grain on the market did not fall but rose, because the tariffs at this time were not controlled by China. In order to prevent people from importing grain and exporting it at the same time, Jiang Yu began to control the supply of grain in the market. Continue to raise some to prevent grain from flowing out. (to be continued)
