Republic of China: I am a great warlord, many children, many blessings

Thinking of this, Shen Hao felt satisfied.

However, the commander's task has requirements for taking a concubine.

Not just women, but also rich ladies and socialites.

Civilian girls like Cheng Shuzhen, Bao Shuang, and Tao Yingying were not included in the mission even if they were taken in.

Shen Hao originally thought that as long as the girl was pretty, he would marry her. But now it seems that this is not possible. She must not only be pretty but also have temperament and status.

Damn, there are so many requirements for one system.

At the same time, warlords and governors across the country also received Yuan Datou's telegram.

Of course, the content of the telegram was not just about Shen Hao’s 18th Division.

'January 1913, ;

In view of the rampant bandits in the country, which bring disaster to the people and chaos to the country;

The foreign powers are rampant and overbearing both at home and abroad.

However, due to the shortage of manpower, Yuan Shikai had the will but not the strength.

Six divisions were specially added to exterminate traitors and put an end to rebellion;

It not only prevents foreign invasion, but also strengthens national defense.

17th Division, Commander: Wang Jingzhen, Chief of Staff: Li Jingheng

18th Division, Commander: Shen Hao (also the garrison commander of Guangdong Province), Chief of Staff: Li Yunlong

19th Division: Liu Zhiguo, Division Commander, Xia Hongjun, Chief of Staff

20th Division: ..

This telegram was signed by Yuan Shikai and was announced on that date.

China and foreign countries have a vision, and the whole country has a common vision'

Thousands of words.

The cost of electricity at this time is also very shocking.

A personal telegram in Chinese out of the province costs one dollar for every ten words.

(This is a personal business. If it is for news release, it will be much cheaper, one dollar for twenty words).

If the price for one thousand words, it would be nearly 100 yuan.

Even if it is charged half price in the form of a government letter, it still costs 50 dollars.

If we want to provide electricity to the entire country, the cost will be astronomical.

Electricity supply is divided into small-scale electricity supply and national electricity supply. Small-scale electricity supply costs at least more than 100 yuan.

If it is a large-scale electricity supply, in order to achieve the effect of nationwide electricity supply, it must at least cover all first- and second-level telegraph offices and major newspapers.

Zhang Zuolin of the 27th Division, Wang Zhanyuan of the nd Division, etc., none of them were Yuan Shikai's direct subordinates.

Nominally under control, but they only follow orders and not instructions.

At this time, the total number of the national army (bdeb) was about 120 million.

According to the "Beiyang Army Historical Materials (1912-1916)", there were about 30 divisions and 50 brigades across the country, including local patrol battalions and other local forces, with a total of about 120 million troops.

Among them, Yuan Shikai's Beiyang troops and troops affiliated with Yuan (such as Zhang Xun's pigtail army and Zhang Zuolin's Fengtian army) accounted for more than half, and their main bases were in Zhili, Anhui, Shandong and other areas in northern Jiangsu.

The revolutionary forces in the south also had an army of more than 10 and territory in seven or eight provinces.

Jiangxi Governor Li Liejun frowned after reading the telegram.

"Shen Hao? Killed that guy Cao Ying? Is he a nail that Yuan Shikai put into Guangdong Province?"

Hu Ningmin, the governor of Guangdong Province, also received the telegram.

He frowned, not expecting that Yuan Datou promoted Shen Hao to the position of division commander and also the position of garrison commander.

Normally, when there is no garrison commander, the security corps of the entire province is under his command, but this seems to be no longer possible now.

Now Hu Ningmin understood that Shen Hao had become a thorn in Yuan Datou's side.

Now Shen Hao is also labeled as a Beiyang person.

The three northeastern provinces, Fengtian.

Zhang Zuolin called his seven sworn brothers.

Among the eight people, Zhang Zuolin is the seventh.

When Zhang Zuolin started his career, he had seven brothers around him, who could be called the "Northeast Calabash Brothers".

The seven are the eldest Ma Longtan, the second Wu Junsheng, the third Sun Liechen, the fourth Zhang Jinghui, the fifth Feng Delin, the sixth Tang Yulin, and the eighth Zhang Zuoxiang.

"Look at this telegram our president just sent out. What the hell is this Shen Haoma? A twenty-something brat is now a division commander.

He is on the same level as me, isn't that infuriating?"

"It shows that Shen Hao is very capable. He became famous by killing Cao Kun's brother Cao Ying."

The fifth brother Feng Delin said with some gloating;

Everyone in Northeast China knew that Feng Delin did not submit to Zhang Zuolin.

Because he started earlier than Zhang Zuolin, he is a genuine outlaw veteran.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Zuolin is now on equal footing with him, and their strength is comparable, which makes him feel uncomfortable.

Now that he saw Shen Hao getting up, Feng Delin felt happy instead.

The eighth brother Zhang Zuoxiang was considered Zhang Zuolin's best brother and his right-hand man.

"Yuting, I think Shen Hao is a thorn in President Yuan's side in Guangdong Province, so he can hold such a high position."

Zhang Zuolin scratched his head and said disdainfully: "What kind of ability does he have? He just married...married Yuan Datou's daughter."

As soon as these words were spoken, the people sitting there suddenly understood.

I see.

145. Want to marry my daughter to Shen Hao

No wonder he could become the commander of the 18th Beiyang Division.

It seems like he is Yuan Datou’s son-in-law.

This made everyone feel sour.

Zhang Zuolin had several sworn brothers, but most of them came from poor families.

It took wind and rain, and the flashing of swords and sabers to achieve its current status.

Look at Shen Hao, he became a division commander easily after getting married, and his rank is higher than theirs.

Among those sitting there, only the seventh Zhang Zuolin and the fifth Feng Delin were division commanders, the others were just deputies.

The next step for the two is to compete for the position of Fengtian Governor.

Whoever can take this position will be the real King of Northeast China.

Zhang Zuolin and Feng Delin were also competing secretly.

Zhang Zuoxiang said: "Shen Hao is really lucky. I don't know if he can succeed in the revolutionary army's territory."

Feng Delin laughed and said, "Who cares if he can do it or not? It would be better if he died."

The third son, Sun Liechen, said: "This president is really partial. Damn, he praises his son-in-law so highly, isn't he afraid of falling to death?"

“Yes, the whole country is watching.”

"I remember that Guangdong Province was the territory of the Tongmenghui. I don't know what our president was thinking. He actually dared to put his son-in-law there," said the sixth brother Tang Yulin in confusion.

Feng Delin glanced at everyone and said, "Don't be unconvinced. Although Shen Hao is young, he is really capable.

When I was the county governor, I wiped out Guo Changshun's brigade. Can you do it?"

Hearing this, everyone shut up.

They really don't have the ability to do so.

Even though both had survived heavy gunfire and heavy rain, they were still far behind in comparison.

The sixth brother, Tang Yulin, gave a thumbs up and said, "This is really amazing. If my kid can be this good when he grows up, my ancestors' graves will be filled with smoke."

Zhang Zuolin laughed and said, "Fuck it, let's play cards, play cards. If the sky falls, there will be someone taller to hold it up. We don't have to worry about it."

"Right, right, right, play cards, play cards"

Then a few people started playing cards while laughing and talking.

At this time, a boy about 12 years old walked in. His face was red from the cold and he was shivering as he came in.

Seeing this, the fifth brother Feng Delin said with a smile: "Little Six is ​​here, come here, your uncle Feng is lucky today, I'll give you two big dollars"

Zhang Xueliang took the ocean and looked at Zhang Zuolin.

Seeing this, Zhang Zuolin glared at Zhang Xueliang.

"Just take what your Uncle Feng gave you and say thank you."

"Thank you Uncle Feng"

"You are a strong and brave boy. You will definitely be better than your father in the future," Feng Delin said with a smile.

This made Zhang Zuolin unhappy.

But he didn't say anything.

Instead, he glared at Zhang Xueliang and said, "Xiao Liuzi, what are you still doing here? Get out of here after taking the money and go out and play."

"Then I'm really leaving," Zhang Xueliang said slyly.

"Get lost"

"Okay, I'll leave now"

Zhang Zuolin angrily cursed: "This stinky boy really deserves a beating"

"Yuting, you are just a kid, you should be a little naughty" Feng Delin was in a good mood;

After playing for a while, Zhang Zuolin lost more than 5,000 yuan and the game was over.

Feng Delin, who won the money, was grinning from ear to ear.

"Yuting, I'm a bit lucky today, please don't be angry"

Zhang Zuolin said: "Fifth brother, please don't look down on me. Just use this little money to buy some wine for you to warm yourself up."

"Haha, Yuting, I knew you were a good person, hahaha." Feng Delin said and left.

The other brothers also said goodbye.

Only the eighth brother Zhang Zuoxiang was left to accompany Zhang Zuolin.

At this time, Zhang Zuolin's face straightened and he said: "Send a telegram to Shen Hao immediately to congratulate him on becoming the commander of the 18th Division."

Zhang Zuoxiang asked in confusion: "Yuting, don't you look down on Shen Hao?"

Zhang Zuolin glared at Zhang Zuoxiang and said, "I was acting for Feng Delin. Not only do I congratulate Shen Hao, I am also planning to marry my daughter to him."

"Shoufang?"

"Yes, she is 15 this year, it's time for her to get married. I think Shen Hao is a good choice," Zhang Zuolin said with a smile;

Only then did Zhang Zuoxiang understand Zhang Zuolin's actions.

It turns out that he was just pretending to scold Shen Hao in front of everyone just now, and his real purpose was to marry his daughter to Shen Hao.

Obviously, this was a preparation for planning the position of the Fengtian Governor.

Shen Hao is Yuan Datou's son-in-law. Once he marries Shen Hao, Yuan Datou will definitely be closer to Zhang Zuolin.

This was a good move, as he was directly ahead of Feng Delin.

Moreover, Zhang Zuolin's hands were stained with the blood of revolutionaries, so of course he would have nothing to do with the Tongmenghui.

Zhang Zuolin deliberately belittled Shen Hao just now in order to paralyze Feng Delin and please Yuan Shikai in order to gain control of the Northeast.
