"Damn! I said that robbery is the fastest way to get rich! 200 million oceans, 750 kilograms of gold. It seems that Lu Jianzhang has harmed the people of Shaanxi! ”

The confidential staff adjutants of the Governor's Office counted the number of oceans. The second master looked at the numbers presented and said to Zhang Muzhi in surprise.

That's good! All the money that Lu Jianzhang scavenged was cheaper!

"Overseer! Lu Jianzhang's entire army was wiped out, and it is impossible for us to hide it. After Beijing finds out, how can we explain it? ”

Zhang Muzhi was not very excited when he saw the silver dollars and gold in the tent. Because he knew that this amount of money was just a drop in the bucket for Governor Zhang to expand to the size of the army.

He was concerned about the Beiyang government's reaction to the incident.

"Do we need an explanation? When Beijing asked, he replied that 'there is no such thing' and ignore it! ”

The second master listened to Zhang Muzhi's worries and said indifferently.

He really doesn't have to worry about anything, because the president is now swaying from side to side in the midst of the "restoration" advocated by foreign forces and the wave of anti-president in the country.

"But~~~ After all, that's our legitimate government! If you don't respect the order, what do we say to the people? Uprising? Rebel? ”

Zhang Muzhi's dismissive attitude towards the second master is very annoying! Why doesn't this governor care about anything?

How did he know that the reason why the second master was not worried about the current government was because next year, that is, on June 6, 1916, the current president would die of illness in domestic and foreign difficulties.

At that time, the country was in chaos, and the various warlords appeared on the stage one after another, like singing a big opera. Where would anyone care about him, a small governor far away in the northwest!

"Brother Makino! You believe me! ~~~ I'm not going to lead the big guy down a dead end! The reason why I don't care about the attitude of the Beiyang government is because the current president is very selfish, and his president can't do it for long. ”

The second master said very vaguely that next year will be a year of great changes, as for how Zhang Muzhi understands it, he can't guess.

"It's better to be cautious, after all, we don't have a foundation yet!"

"I know! I'm cautious when it's time to be cautious! You can rest assured! In addition, inform the troops that the start date will be postponed for another ten days, and we will recruit another 100,000 young men in the land of Sanqin! ”

"Ahh Why? Recruit another 100,000 soldiers, and logistics can't keep up! ”

Zhang Muzhi was difficult to adapt to the thinking jump of the Grand Duke.

"Don't worry! I have arranged the logistics, and in the past few days, a caravan from the northwest of my family has come over.

In addition, I have placed an order with Pete of the United States for another 10,000 trucks and 300,000 rifles. These equipment will be shipped to us one after another.

Besides, we have seized so much silver money this time, this is all the hard-earned money of the people in Guanzhong! Why do you have to return some of the people of Sanqin.

Big Brother Makino! Sanqin has been a good soldier since ancient times! That's a lot of power! Let's say that we can't let go of such a good source of soldiers! ”

The second master finally showed his "little tail"! What seizures give back to the people? Said high-sounding. In fact, he is a good soldier who covets the land of Sanqin!

As for the logistical supply problem that Zhang Muzhi is worried about, it is even less of a problem. What materials are not in the second master's space? As long as there is the caravan of the Zhang family as a cover, his second master wants to take as much as he wants!

In the United States and Shanghai, he prepared 500,000 individual equipment, weapons and ammunition for entering Xinjiang, and these equipment can be quietly stayed in the second master's walking warehouse!

The second master is indeed coveting the excellent combat power of the children of the Three Qin Dynasty now, and the men in Guanzhong have had this kind of excellent genes of belligerence and courage since the beginning of the Qin Dynasty.

As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the rising star Qin State relied on the children of Guanzhong to sweep the six countries of the Kwantung region, and the Qin army under Qin Shi Huang was known as the army of tigers and wolves, and the army of the six countries was powerless.

From the Qin Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, the Shaanxi soldiers were the main force of the Chinese army at that time.

It is precisely because of so many strong soldiers in Guanzhong that from Qin to Tang, the royal capital of the Central Plains Dynasty was set in Xi'an, Shaanxi.

At that time, China was also famous in the world, and even the western regions of Central Asia were the sphere of influence of the three Qin strong soldiers.

So, let the second master let go of such a powerful soldier? That's impossible! He doesn't scrape the ground and force conscription, even if he restrains himself very much!

As a result, the propagandists of the New First Army rode out in all directions. Recruitment notices were posted all over the towns and villages in the Guanzhong area, and the scene of Beijing was reproduced in the ancient city of Xi'an!

The reason why few young people in the Guanzhong area did not respond, and the recruitment of the second master in Beijing at that time was mainly because the second master was mainly a "student soldier" in Beijing, and in most areas of the great northwest, the illiteracy rate of the Han nationality was as high as 80%. Because the area is so poor, there are few families who can afford to go to school.

Therefore, there are almost no Sanqin children in the new army.

But this time it's different, the second master's recruitment is a grassroots soldier who dares to fight, so there are no hard and fast rules on the level of education.

The second master thought, if you don't have culture, you can teach it slowly, the key is that the blood in your bones can't be taught.

This is amazing! The children of Sanqin almost squeezed through the recruitment offices of various towns and villages. Because the second master has a hard and fast rule, once admitted, a settling-in fee of 50 oceans will be issued on the spot.

The children of Guanzhong have had a tradition of being soldiers to earn knighthoods since ancient times, and "good men are not soldiers" in the Central Plains is simply a here!

"Reach! Look at it, it's really dripping the ocean! The second baby gave him 50 oceans to take home. ”

"What? Do you want to go too? ”

"Reach! Look, let's try to sign up too? ”

"Medium! The baby is big, just go against yourself and get help. Remember to send a little letter to your family! ”

"Alas, that's ~ Da! Uh, the old tomorrow? ”

"Stop! Go ahead! ”

This is the conversation between two fathers and sons in a remote mountain village in Hanzhong.

When the father knew that his son was going to join the army, he did not try to stop it like fathers in other regions.

On the contrary, he took it for granted that his son, who was strong and strong, would definitely be admitted, and asked him to give his family a little trust.

From this point, it can be seen that the warlike and daring genes of the children of Guanzhong are revealed from their bones.

The popularity of the registration was unexpected by the second master and Zhang Muzhi. In the end, the two discussed, and simply expanded the enrollment to 300,000.

As for the issue of equipment, it will be handled according to the routine of the displaced people's points, military training will continue as usual, and the equipment will be temporarily replenished with equipment captured along the way.

Anyway, at this stage, there is no need for these newcomers to go to the front. Just let them follow behind the New First Army and follow slowly. When they arrived in Xinjiang, they were reorganized and distributed in a unified manner.

In the past few days, Zhang Muzhi has also been tempted by these high-quality soldiers recruited, they are all good soldiers! He was also greedy, and he also wanted to collect as many high-quality soldiers as possible.

And the second master also had his own troubles at this time, because someone came to propose marriage to him. And it was the woman who took the initiative. What do you call it?

The second master frowned when he saw the matchmaker sitting on the chair next to him, wearing a big red flower with her hair in a bun, wiping her hair oil, and wearing a big red flower.

This was the first time he had seen this battle. This matchmaker is just a black man on her face, so she will match the matchmaker in later film and television works!

"The surname Su? I don't know! ”

The second master listened to it for a long time, and only then did he hear from the matchmaker's chaos that the woman's family was a family surnamed Su.

"Oops! Great officials! ”

"Stop! Stop! Call the Grand Duke! You are not allowed to call a big official, you are still Ximen Qing! What a mess. ”

As soon as the second master heard the title, his face was black! What kind of mess is this all called?

"Cheng, listen to you, then you will be called the Grand Duke! I'll tell you! Miss Su is one of the best beauties in Xi'an City! When Miss Ren saw you, she never forgot you! ”

What do you mean by "then the Metropolitan Governor"? I was originally the Metropolitan Governor, okay!

The second master was still a little curious, why did he stick to the peach blossom luck in Xi'an? But listening to it, the matchmaker's exaggerated rhetoric became a little impatient.

"Stop! I understand what you mean, you go back and tell the woman, I, Zhang, thank them for their love!

But I have a wife and children, and I am a four-room wife! So I can only live up to Miss Su's wrong love.

Besides, my parents are alive and well, lifelong family affairs, and the two families are married, I can't be the master, please forgive them! ”

"Alas! You're not thinking about it? This is a rare marriage! ”

"That's it! I've said everything I need to say. Just go back and tell the truth. Tom! ~~~”

The second master had endured to the limit, and hurriedly beckoned Zhang San to save the scene.

"Here!"

"Send this aunt out of the camp, and give her another 5 oceans. Can't let people run errands in vain! ”

"Yes!"

"Huh! Then thank you, Metropolitan Governor! ”

The matchmaker, who originally wanted to be verbose, immediately stopped being verbose when she heard that there were 5 oceans of rewards.

Just get up and leave.

If you don't do an errand, you will be rewarded for your achievements, where can you find such a good thing? Why don't you hurry up and leave, wait for the Metropolitan Governor to get angry! I didn't see that the inside and outside of the tent were full of soldiers!

However, to the second master's surprise, this matter is not over yet!

The next day, another acquaintance came to the door. The second master looked at it, isn't this the owner who invited himself to tea in Xi'an?

So he hurriedly invited into the tent and ordered Xiao Dezi (Xiao Dezi is now the second master's orderly) to make tea and entertain him.

"I said goodbye to the Metropolitan Governor in a hurry that day, and I haven't had time to introduce it to the Metropolitan Governor! He is a professor in the Department of Hydraulic Engineering at National Northwest University. ”

"Oh! Xi'an National University? Mr. is polite, we have met in Pingshui, and there is a sudden change, so there is no need to be so polite! ”

After a little thought, the second master found the information of National Northwest University.

In March 1912, Zhang Fenghui (huì), then the governor of Shaanxi, merged Shaanxi Higher School (formerly Shaanxi University Hall), Shaanxi Law and Political School, Shaanxi Industrial School, Shaanxi Agricultural School, Guanzhong University of Law and Politics and Shaanxi Hakka School and other schools into Northwest University.

Unfortunately, the university was short-lived, as there was a shortage of students and a shortage of funds. It was discontinued in 1915, that is, this year.

"Sir is still teaching?"

The second master really couldn't figure out the meaning of this person, so he tried to say step by step.

"Then there are students to teach! The school has closed this year. ”

"What does Mr. Nar do for a living?"

It won't be a self-recommended job for a job, right? The second master thought secretly.

"Oh! This is not embarrassing, the ancestors have a little thin yield, so there is no need to worry about food and clothing. ”

"That's good! In these troubled times, it's good to have a family background to live in!"

"The Grand Duke! Is it Mr. Jushan's second son? ”

Well? ~~~ What's the situation? Old man's old friend? I haven't heard the old man say it! Besides, age doesn't match, this one is in his early 40s at most.

"Does the gentleman know my father?"

"Hehe, I didn't know each other, but I had a relationship in Tianjin back then. I don't dare to say that I know Lord Lingzun! ”

This one is so calm, and his words are not leaky, so that the second master can't figure out the purpose of his coming here at all. So the second master simply didn't try it, and asked directly:

"Then sir, it's ~~~"

"Oh! Speaking of shame, the little girl Su Lijun has not thought about tea and dinner since she saw the governor of Dadu on the day of the fight, and now she is sick at home. I'm not here to kiss today, but the matchmaker told you about the situation yesterday.

Today's cheeky visit is to ask the governor of the capital to have a trace of mercy, and move to the cold door to persuade the little girl, you know, heart disease also needs heart medicine. ”

Okay! This is a crepe rhetoric, that is, a soft language that changes the law. For a literati with arrogance, this is more uncomfortable than killing him, which shows this person's love for women!

Listen to the second master, that's called an uncomfortable! Co-authored with me, Second Master Zhang, if you don't go, it will be a great crime, right!

Get! Then be a "human medicine"! It's a big deal to give the little beauty some hope, and push her to the old mother in Beijing, the old lady in the province who has nothing to do every day and thinks all day long. Let's get her in trouble and get busy!

The second master saved trouble, and used the "Dafa of throwing the pot" to push the Su family's affairs to his family in Beijing. Don't you know that he shook the pot and almost didn't get angry with the old lady at home.

Not to mention how much trouble Beijing Zhangfu caused because the second master couldn't bear to throw the pot for a while. And Xi'an's recruitment quota is already full.

Zhang Muzhi drew capable cadres from the New First Army, roughly reorganized the skeletons of the six armies from the 300,000 newly recruited, and as soon as he taught these recruits to shoot, the troops were ready to be pulled.

Because the second master has to enter Xinjiang before winter. Therefore, the road is still very far away, and the time is very tight, because the new army still has to suppress bandits along the way.
