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

“It’s the president.”

All the major warlords received this news.

In the revolutionary Tongmenghui, Mr. Sun was also very surprised to see the news.

It is true that Shen Hao has emerged silently and unexpectedly.

He immediately sent someone to win over Shen Hao.

I want to see if Shen Hao can join the Tongmenghui.

Zhang Zuolinye in the Northeast received the news, and Feng Guozhang and Duan Qirui in Zhili were both informed of Shen Hao's appointment.

Shen Hao was also the first Yang Ming in the country.

A brigade commander has considerable power.

When Governor Liu of Guangdong Province saw Yuan Shikai's telegram, he jumped three feet high in anger.

But he was also extremely wary of Shen Hao.

Although he is General Liu, to be honest, he only has 097 brigades under his command, and the others don't care about him at all.

The loss of an entire brigade at once was like cutting off his foundation.

Angrily vomiting blood.

Governor Liu couldn't understand why an entire brigade was wiped out by a county governor who had just taken office.

This sounds like a college student being knocked down by a kindergartner.

Why does it feel so unreliable?

After all, there are two forces competing against each other in the entire Guangdong province.

Tongmenghui Yuan Datou.

However, in name only the President is the righteous one.

So, when Yuan Shikai announced the appointment, no one dared to openly oppose it.

Once open opposition occurs, it would be considered rebellion, which would give Yuan Shikai an opportunity to go crazy.

Today, the power of the Tongmenghui is still far behind that of Yuan Datou.

There is no force that can confront them head-on.

I can only give in.

As a result, Guo Changshun's entire brigade was captured, but no one from the official side stood up for him.

But its influence among the people is very great.

Especially in Goose City, Shen Hao's prestige became increasingly huge.

Mr. Zhang was somewhat glad that he had been tactful and donated some money in advance.

The master of the Tan family was trembling with fear at this moment. He did not expect that Shen Hao could actually destroy an entire brigade.

Damn, that's so scary.

The next day, Li Yunlong arrived in Qingshi smoothly.

79. County governors line up to offer tribute

Li Yunlong pointed his gun at Guo Changshun and said, "Tell your men to surrender, or I will shoot you and start the attack directly."

Hearing this, Guo Changshun was so scared that his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

The regiment he was stationed in was composed entirely of ragtag soldiers, and had nothing they could ever ask for.

Only one battalion had guns, the rest had broadswords.

What about guarding the house?

If he really doesn't surrender, he will be the first to die.

Thinking of this, Guo Changshun hurriedly shouted: "Put down your guns, this is a special envoy sent by Governor Liu!"

The defenders in the city believed the enemy's weapons and equipment and did not dare to fight them.

All these soldiers chose to surrender.

It's all for a living, who would risk their life for it? It doesn't matter who you serve as a soldier.

Soon, everyone came out one by one and dropped their guns.

Li Yunlong sent people into the city to search.

In about an hour, the entire Qing City was taken over.

Guo Changshun's property and troops were taken over.

At this moment, Guo Changshun is no longer of any use.

Li Yunlong said: "He was taken directly to the vegetable market and publicly sentenced."

Guo Changshun said with a sad face: "Shen Hao promised me to let me go, but you guys didn't keep your word."

Li Yunlong said expressionlessly: "Yes, our elders said to let you go, and I didn't say to shoot you.

Just let you be tried in public."

Guo Changshun shook his head desperately and said, "No, let me go."

Li Yunlong ignored Guo Changshun and directly ordered his men to take him to the vegetable market.

Public trial.

There was not even time to read out his charges.

Countless people flocked to it.

Guo Changshun has now lost his power. Those people he once bullied are no longer afraid of him and have all come forward to confront him.

After taking over Guo Changshun's forces, Li Yunlong began to reduce the number of people.

All former officials were dismissed, and those who smoked opium in the team were also kicked out.

As for the counties under the jurisdiction of Qing City, the county governors all came to Echeng with money in their hands, waiting for an audience with Shen Hao.

These people are well-informed. They received the news before Shen Hao's appointment came down.

Although they were appointed by Yuan Shikai, in those days, the emperor was far away and the warlords were the ones who really had the say.

All their tax revenues have to support warlords like Shen Hao, otherwise, they would be unable to move forward.

As the day dawned, county governors from all over the country were waiting obediently.

However, he didn't dare knock on the door, for fear of angering Shen Hao.

Seven or eight county governors were extremely bored and started chatting.

"Alas, it is not easy to become a county governor these days, and it is even more difficult to keep the position.

Now that Brigade Commander Guo is gone again, Brigade Commander Shen is here again, and he has received another large sum of money. When will this end?"

"That's right. There's nothing I can do about it.

In these days, no one can escape the fall of a nest. There have been frequent wars in recent years, and the people have suffered. It is also difficult for us county governors.

As for the reasons, the first ones to be blamed are the warlords and bandits roaming around everywhere.

These soldiers and warlords don't take us county governors seriously.

If you don't give them money, they will extort you or massacre you without any courtesy.

——These days, the death of a person in the countryside is no different from the death of an ant.

Even for someone like us who holds a high position as a county governor, it's just like the death of a larger ant, which doesn't make much difference.

So, no matter what, you should show your respect first."

"Rival"

"We must devote 30% of our energy to dealing with the local tyrants;

Thirty percent was spent on dealing with the officers of the garrison; twenty percent was spent on handling matters such as the following:

The remaining 20 percent will have to work hard on local politics.”

Wei Yunzhi, the governor of Yangcheng County, nodded and said to the crowd: "I spent six thousand dollars to buy this county governor."

The governor of Lianzhou County said: "My county is poorer, so I spent 5,000 yuan."

"My place is even poorer than four thousand dollars"

“Did you make your money back?”

"How is that possible? My county is extremely poor."

These days, the appointments of county governors are of mixed quality, and the reality is that grassroots administration is becoming increasingly corrupt.

The phenomenon of buying and selling official positions occurs blatantly.

County governors are divided into first, second and third grades, with quoted prices of 6000 yuan, 5000 yuan and 4000 yuan respectively.

So do they.

Wei Yunzhi, the governor of Yangcheng County, sighed and said, "It's not that easy to earn this money back.

We are all the same. The local people are suffering. A heavy rain can separate several families, and a drought can cause a few more dancers.

There is nothing we can do, even if we have kindness and righteousness in our hearts.

If you don't exploit the people, where will you get the money to keep the government running?

You dare not offend those local gentry, and you have to support these soldiers.

I wanted to serve my country, but I found that the only way to go was to exploit the people, and it was hard to avoid going astray. "

“The world is going downhill, and the only thing we can do is climb up.

Not to mention you and me, even if a jackal or a tiger becomes an official and finds that the money he earns from extortion is not enough to allow him to successfully resign, he will definitely feel very complicated.

Being a county governor is not something a soft-hearted person can do."

". Then tell me, our Brigade Commander Shen is also the county governor. How can he make these gentry obey him?"

"Nonsense, they have people with guns. Look, Brigade Commander Guo was killed. What kind of strength is this?

Killing a few gentry is a piece of cake."

"What if we ask Brigadier General Shen to help us wipe out those gentry?" Yangcheng County Governor Wei Yunzhi said with a smile;

After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent and began to think about this solution.

The more I think about it, the more I think there's nothing wrong with it.

As long as they destroyed these local gentry, they would have enough money to honor Shen Hao and raise troops.

I am now better able to manage the entire county, and no one dares to interfere.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that this thing can be done.

Anyway, the final bad reputation must have been caused by Shen Hao.

They just add fuel to the fire.

I believe Shen Hao will also be willing to support it.

After all, these gentry controlled a lot of wealth.

An hour later, the sun rose.

The county governors who were waiting outside (for Wang De) all felt their legs go weak.

At this time, the door opened.

The two soldiers said: "Commander Shen has ordered you to wait in the living room."

"Thank you very much, brother."

As he said this, he gave each of the two soldiers two dollars.

At this time, Shen Hao, with his left hand holding Sister Hua and his right hand holding Daiyu Qingwen, had just woken up.
