"Human nature is greedy and volatile, there is no absolute gap between friend and foe to divide, before last night the Green Battalion was our enemy, but now that the general trend in Tanggu has changed, then these officers in the Green Battalion, can't they become our help......?

This is Xiao Letian's speech at the post-war summary meeting, and this kind of summary meeting has become an indispensable part of the daily life of the new army.

Ordinary soldiers are divided into squads, and such meetings are held every day and even after each operation, where everyone has to speak, and every point of deficiency in training and operations is recorded and discussed in detail.

From whether the military boots fit or not, to what kind of mistakes the officers made in command on the battlefield last night, everyone can speak freely, Xiao Letian once personally said to all the soldiers that it is a serious crime for officers to block the way of speech, and the new army will definitely not engage in the kind of one-word hall of the traditional army.

Of course, Xiao Letian also has the confidence to do this, because the literacy rate of the new army he led was the highest in the world at that time, and he completely used the new army as a future officer reserve corps to build.

Ordinary soldiers have to have meetings, Xiao Letian and high-ranking officers have to have meetings, criticism and self-criticism are necessary, and no one is an exception.

"The shining point of this battle, I won't talk about it here, now I mainly criticize one person, that is, his stubbornness and blind confidence almost ruined the battle we must win, this person is Xiao Letian......"

Wang Huaiyuan is really welcome, Xiao Letian's speech at the post-war summary meeting has just ended, and his artillery has already fired.

"Before the war, we had done many deductions, and basically every deduction found the biggest flaws and shortcomings in the plan, that is, the officials who knew the yamen. How can these ordinary people, who have not undergone military training, play a role in protecting the adults? If anything happens to you, then even if the new army wins, it will be a crushing defeat......

"You don't have to look at me and smirk, you have to take full responsibility for this matter, you must remember that you have no son yet, your heir has not yet been born, and living is your most important task. It is impossible for an undertaking to succeed without a flag......"

Xiao Letian's face was slightly red, and he said in his heart Wang Huaiyuan, what is the matter, how can you have a good meeting and talk about whether you have a son. But looking at the stern faces of the people around him, he knew that it was not a joke.

"Huaiyuan, let's have a post-war summary meeting, let's not talk about my son...... Hehe, hehe..."

"Don't smirk, my lord, you set the rules for speaking freely at the summary meeting, do you want to regret it? Every word I say now is something we have discussed countless times before, and it is all a thoughtful ......."

Xiao Lotian was a little dumbfounded when he heard it, why have you all met secretly about the affairs of my inner house? But Wang Huaiyuan's words made Xiao Letian unable to laugh.

"My lord, after the collective deliberation of our Tanggu officer corps, we have a common proposal...... Please set up the descendants born of the tiger girl as the heirs, and ask the adults to deprive the heirs of Fu Hui of the right to inherit the business. Of course, we're not talking about money, the children of adults must be rich and noble, we're talking about military power......"

Xiao Lotian listened to it, this and this...... This is so weird, how did you think of this? There is a problem behind this. Xiao Lotian suddenly found that the group he had created had begun to evolve slowly, he already had the need for self-selection, and he began to influence his founder in reverse.

Yes, all the forces in the world, once they take shape, once they begin to expand, will have a peculiar sense of self. For example, in the history of the Hunan army, there were signs of independence and even rebellion. And the Beiyang formed by the Huai army overthrew the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and even formed an unusually large Beiyang warlord system.

This is true not only in China, but also in the whole world, where Japanese militarism was based on bushido and the emperor, and eventually developed into an independent power that was completely independent of the civilian system, and whose own ideas and wills could be overridden by the entire Japanese people.

There are too many examples of this kind, and Xiao Letian originally felt that it would be a few more years before he encountered this problem, but he didn't expect that in just over a year, the children he raised had already begun to think independently.

"You ...... I'm not even going to get married, and I'm still a single, so it's too early for you to say it, right?"

"No, it's not early at all, and it's best to be prepared for future hidden dangers at the first stage. We are not forcing you today, but this sudden conflict has shown us the good things about the tiger girl. Brave, resolute, decisive, and able to hold their ground even in the face of death. ”

"Didn't the adults notice? After this night of fighting, the tiger girl has dominated the hearts of all the people in the inner house, are those girls still unconvinced? Not only that, but the brothers are also convinced by the tiger girl, and everyone thinks that only such a woman is worthy of the adult's career...... As for Fu Hui, it's just a political marriage......"

The whole meeting finally ended with Xiao Letian's 'failure', in which Xiao Lotian self-criticized himself, especially for his lonely risk, and made a sincere apology.

In addition, Xiao Lotian also promised that everyone would carefully consider the issue of the heir, although there was no clear nod, but this was already a huge concession made by Xiao Letian.

The meeting dispersed, and Xiao Letian sat in the study on the second floor of the foreign bank without saying a word. Of course, Xiao Letian hopes that his subordinates are all elites with ideas and brains, and they should not be slaves who blindly listen to and believe. But when the big forces he led began to refute himself, Xiao Letian was also a little unhappy in his heart.

It's like a father who sees his son who is already a little rebellious, and has mixed feelings, delighted in his maturity and angry at his rebellion. But no matter what, Xiao Letian's power is really growing, and it is growing healthily.

"Master Long, why did you mention this inconsequential matter? We are very weak now, isn't it too early to say this?"

With Xiao Letian's questioning, a figure flew in lightly from outside the window, it was the vigilant Long Ye.

"Sir is good at pondering people's hearts, you don't need to ask me this question, don't you already have the answer in your heart? If you really want me to say, it is that your career is really smooth, there has not been a single failure from beginning to end, and the more victories there are, the more people will think......

Xiao Letian looked at Long Ye and suddenly smiled, "You were asked to participate in the meeting just now, you don't have to go to the roof to command the guard, but I think you have heard it all." Let me ask you now, do you have any ideals, and when our power is too strong in the future, what do you want to do?"

Xiao Letian's question made Long Ye very surprised: "Hmm, what do you mean by this, do you make a wish in advance? Don't you already know my ideals, you also promised to give me a high salary, give me land, and give my nephew a future, won't people live to be famous, rich, and glorious?"

Xiao Letian laughed, "No, that's not what I'm talking about, as long as you follow me loyally and hard, you will have a rich future in the future, but you should have another ideal in your heart, that is, the desire that is not too deep with money and power, that is purely what you want to do in the spiritual world in your heart, even if you lose money, you are willing to do it......"

"Think about it, think about it again, it's good to do something to leave a name in history..."

Long Ye's face turned strange, and it took a long time before he twisted and said, "If you want to talk about ideals, there is really one, I have followed Mr. for more than a year to open my eyes, and I have seen the power of science and technology and industry you mentioned, and I also know that it will be difficult for flesh and blood to resist this power in the future......"

"However, I just want our Chinese martial arts to be passed on, even if the whole world has changed foreign guns, there are still people who learn martial arts and practice martial arts, so that the things left by our ancestors can be passed on from generation to generation......"

There was a snap, and it was Xiao Letian who slapped the table, "Okay, very good, this is the ideal that a man should have, we want money and power, but we must also have a career that will leave a name in history." I'll help you fulfill this ideal..."

"When that day comes, our power is so big that the Manchus don't dare to offend, so I will build a 'National Art Pavilion' for you to be the first director. In the National Arts Museum, there are martial arts heroes from all over the world, let's let the things passed down from our ancestors to generation be passed down from generation to generation......"

"Master Long, your idea is so good, the long hair that has been making trouble in the south for more than ten years, how many martial arts families have been destroyed, how many peerless schools have been lost, these are all treasures... If we don't do something, there will be a few more big wars in the future, and there will be more and more withered by then, and with the protection of the National Art Pavilion, these mastery will not be lost, and sooner or later there will be a time to shine......"

Long Ye's eyes suddenly moistened, and he suddenly felt that his heart was extremely bright, as if a ray of sunlight was shining in. Sir, this is to let me leave a name in history, when the National Art Museum is completed, I Xiang Shaolong will be the number one martial arts hero in the world, and my name can also be left in the history books.

"My lord's kindness is here, remember, I'm going to be on duty for the night, and Mr. ......rest early," after speaking, he turned over and jumped out of the window and flew on the roof quietly.

No one knew that the dignified Northland Great Giant Dragon Master was already in tears at that moment.

After the war, the work was extremely complicated, such as cleaning up the battlefield, calming the people's minds, and building houses for the people whose homes were broken. But what is more important is how to deal with the aftermath of the political situation, the intelligence war has become the most important battlefield, Xiao Lotian and the Manchu Qing first face-to-face fire, finally began.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, and in the two hundred years of Manchu rule, it still won the hearts of many people, especially those landlords, who are difficult to be bought by Xiao Letian. These people didn't dare to confront Xiao Letian face to face, but there was no problem with secretly ventilating the news.

In two days, Tianjin Wei had already received information, and on the fourth day, the secret report had entered the Forbidden City. When the Manchu high-level saw this information that had collapsed the sky, the roof of the entire Heart Cultivation Hall was about to be torn off.

"Wolf ambition, this is really wolf ambition... Actually privately amassed an army, and actually fought with the green battalion soldiers openly, is there still a royal law in this eye? Rebellion, it is simply rebellious......

Prince Gong was now completely out of shape, and he was walking around the room like a tiger. And the little emperor Tongzhi was also anxious.

"How did you do it, who is the commander of the Eight Banners in Tianjin? Is it Mailer? Is he eating for nothing, why didn't he send troops to suppress it? It's been four days, why didn't he send troops to ......?"

Just when the little emperor was angry, a little eunuch ran in outside, holding the secret report of Mailer in his hand, "Long live the lord, Dutong Maile sent the secret report, please preview ......"

Before he finished speaking, Yi snatched it up, and when he finished reading the ten lines at a glance, he was dumbfounded, "What? How can this be, why is the situation chaotic like this...... The year is not smooth, the year is too unsmooth...... "R405
