Chapter 45: Hunger Everywhere

"To do great things, you must first correct your name, if your name is not right, your words will not go well, and if you don't go well, you will not succeed!" Chai Dongliang muttered to himself.

This is a sentence that Yang Shiqi left down without a head when he was leaving, what does this mean? Chai Dongliang was puzzled!

Judging from the information provided by book friends, Yang Shiqi is definitely an ordinary second-class character, and his words must have deep meaning, but Chai Dongliang didn't come up with a clue when he wanted to break his head.

Chai Dongliang walked on the street of Wuhu in a green shirt, like an ordinary scholar, followed by his master Gao Ming, the old master is also in casual clothes, poplin square sleeve cotton horse coat, covered with royal blue gown, looks like a shopkeeper in the shop.

The streets of Wuhu are full of beggars dragging their families, unclothed children dragging their noses, hugging their thighs and kneeling when they see people, babies sucking their mother's shriveled **, but they can't suck a drop of milk, and they are hungry and crying, which makes Chai Dongliang really unbearable. As soon as he took out his purse and gave them a few change, he was surrounded by a crowd of beggars, until the purse was empty, and Hanako dispersed in a hurry.

The yamen officer covered his nose and took the coolies who wore the blue number of the can, hastily collected the stiff "lying down" at the base of the wall with reed mats, and then carried it onto the cart and prepared to pull it outside the city and throw it into the mass grave.

Not far from here, there is the extremely luxurious decoration of foreign houses, the official mansion with arches and cornices.

Zhumen's wine and meat stinky road has frozen bones!

Chai Dongliang has been busy with survival since he crossed over, and he has hardly seen the true face of this society.

Every creature feels for its kind!

All this must change, China should not be like this!

Ten years ago, the Qing Dynasty began to carry out new policies, built a lot of factories and railways, bought foreign guns and cannons, trained new troops in more than 10 towns, and increased taxes from 80 million taels to 300 million taels, but the development of the country did not bring any benefits to the common people, but was full of sorrow and hunger!

Even if we put aside our moral conscience for the time being, from the perspective of interests alone, so many displaced people are a huge hidden danger, and once they are not handled well, they will be a powder keg! It is also a big problem to settle them, the industrial park can absorb a part of the young and middle-aged labor force, but the soldiers of the patrol battalion who have been removed from the army cannot be resettled, if these Qiu Eight Masters have no livelihood, it will really become a scourge!

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Hunan army and the Huai army were abolished, and the direct consequence was that bandits were everywhere, and the rebellious soldiers who lost their source of livelihood immediately occupied the mountains and became kings! The majority of the local congress parties that overthrew the Manchu Qing came from the dismissed soldiers.

What can be done to give these displaced people a way to live? Chai Dongliang fell into deep thought!

"Dudu, what do you mean by sending troops and ships to Wuchang to relieve the siege for three days? The students are puzzled! Gao Ming leaned up and asked.

Chai Dongliang secretly said that it was a coincidence, he couldn't guess Yang Shiqi's dumb riddle, and Gao Ming didn't understand his own thoughts.

"Old master, tell me, why did Zhuge Liang go out of Qishan to work in vain, but Sima Yi couldn't annihilate the Shu army every time?" Chai Dongliang's words also said that the clouds and mountains are covered with fog.

Gao Ming was puzzled for a moment, and was stunned for a moment and said: "Sima Yi is not as smart as Zhuge Liang!" ”

Chai Dongliang shook his head with a smile and said: "Fei Ye... Chen Shou recorded in "Three Kingdoms" that Zhuge Liang is good at internal affairs and short on conspiracy, and leading troops to fight is not his forte!" Sima Yi is far above Kong Ming with his soldiers! Old Master, imagine what kind of situation it would be if Sima Yi destroyed Shu Han? ”

Gao Ming's brows locked into the word "Sichuan", and after a long time, he suddenly gasped: "What does the governor mean is that Yuan Shikai is unwilling to defeat Wuchang?" He, like Sima Yi, raises self-respect? ”

Chai Dongliang laughed and said: "The old master is really extraordinary, draw inferences from one example!" Yes, if Sima Yi destroys Shu Han, then he will be useless to Cao Wei, and he will not understand the truth of the bird's bow! Similarly, if Yuan Shikai takes Wuchang, then the situation in the whole country will change abruptly, the power of the revolutionary party will be dealt a major blow, and the provinces of Reading Power are likely to be controlled by the Manchus again! ”

Gao Ming nodded and said: "What the governor said is that although Yuan Shikai has now formed a cabinet, Zhao Erxun, Zhang Xun and others still have heavy troops and are loyal to the Qing Dynasty, Yuan Shikai's subordinates are also unstable, Feng Guozhang and others are also inclined to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, once Wuchang is really defeated, it is unknown whether these people will replace Yuan Shikai's position after they have made military achievements!" ”

Chai Dongliang said as he walked: "If it was three years ago, Yuan Shikai had absolute control over the six towns of Beiyang, but in the past three years, he has been reprimanded for fishing in Huanshui, and it is all about making money to maintain the Beiyang lineage!" As soon as the head of bribing the old generals opened, it naturally made his subordinates doubly arrogant, and these Beiyang old generals have already formed their own systems, and they are no longer the new army of the small station where Yuan Shikai was like an arm! Just imagine, how dare Yuan Shikai take Wuchang? ”

Gao Ming said with a smile: "Then I also understand why the governor has to be postponed for three days, until the most critical time in Wuchang, Li Yuanhong and others will not take us to heart, only let them reach the point of exhaustion, let's save him again, he will know gratitude!" After laughing twice, he looked a little gloomy: "It's just that in the past three days, I don't know how many good men have lost their names on the battlefield!" ”

Walking through a street, a gust of wind suddenly blew through the hall, Chai Dongliang couldn't help but shiver, just a few days ago, he was still an otaku who had never even killed a chicken, and now he can watch others die in order to raise his own value!

Why do you adapt so quickly? Is it because of his years of career as a writer, countless times he has substituted himself into a decisive male protagonist, enjoying the scene of overlooking all living beings, so that he can instantly accept the change of identity, and at the same time become so cold-blooded?

However, those who died were not the inconsequential numbers in online novels, let alone the insignificant NPCs in computer games, but people with flesh and blood, seven emotions and six desires, wives and children!

"Those who accomplish great things must not have the kindness of a woman, and the governor does not have to blame himself too much! The Governor sent troops and ships to rescue the siege of Wuchang, and I believe that the Governor of Li Yuanhong will repay the favor! Gao Ming saw that his expression was different, and hurriedly comforted.

Thanksgiving? He took advantage of the danger of others and knocked him 500,000 Long Yang, it would be good if he didn't hate himself to death!

Yuan Shikai, Li Yuanhong, Sun Yat-sen, these are the three top figures in the early years of the Republic of China, Yuan Shikai needless to say, he is now a revolutionary party, he is the prime minister of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and they are opposites of each other. Li Yuanhong has been offended, but he has never had much strength, but he has a great reputation because he occupies the name of the capital of Wuchang. Sun Yat-sen is the spiritual leader of the revolutionary party, the oldest anti-Qing senior, and more than a dozen armed uprisings have established an unshakable position, but Chai Dongliang's identity as a special envoy is a fake!

Chai Dongliang suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and the mystery that was originally entangled in his heart was solved!

Now the Manchu Qing is already a dead man, don't care about him, the one who can clean up the mess is Yuan Shikai and Sun Wen... Yang Shiqi means to let himself stand in line!

Otherwise, wouldn't defending Anhui, the land of four wars, be the target of everyone?

The construction of the industrial park is about to start, and the training of the new army has just begun, and there must be a relatively quiet situation, even if it is a very short period of peace, it will be of great help to oneself!

Yuan Shikai must not take refuge, not to mention that he made many stupid moves later, and finally became the emperor five years after the establishment of the republic, which made the anger of the people smelly, and the moral issues were put aside, even if it was from personal interests, it was a bad move to take refuge in Yuan Shikai. Yuan Shikai commanded the Beiyang Army of Six Towns, with hundreds of thousands of well-trained troops. Chai Dongliang only had 4,000 new troops, and only two cities under his control, Wuhu and Anqing.

With such a little capital, Yuan Shikai may not be able to see it!

On Lao Yuan's boat that is destined to capsize, Chai Dongliang is not so stupid!

Sun Wen is different, he returned alone from overseas and is not a scholar, as long as he supports him verbally, the big deal is like dealing with Li Yuanhong, and he can be perfunctory by giving him tens of thousands of taels of silver.

It is enough to maintain a close and inseparable relationship with the Southern Revolutionary Party, so as not to suffer from the enemy on the back!

Chai Dongliang had made up his mind, his mood was better again, and he said to Gao Ming with a smile: "Old master, let's go back!" ”

"The Governor is no longer going around?"

"There's nothing to see anymore!"

Chai Dongliang didn't say a word, and hurriedly returned the same way.

"Help! Killed! A woman's cry was heard in the distance!

"What's going on? Check it out! Chai Dongliang lifted the hem of his shirt and took out a new six-son revolver!

Author's words: This book is not a pure farming text, and in the early years of the Republic of China, where would there be a pure land in China that could allow you to farm quietly?

Tangyuan is a reasonable party, and I hope to write it well. Therefore, in this book, there will be no shortage of political, military, diplomatic, and scientific and technological development.
