"In the end, how many soldiers can be left depends on the quality of these people under your command, and those who are not qualified must be cleared. If you go back to Fengtian, I will give you a message, it should not be difficult to find a real shortage of a police chief in the provincial capital. ”

There are too many bandit people under Zhang Zuolin, at least 30,000 of the 100,000 cavalry are bandits, especially the officers, many of them are bandit leaders in the past, needless to say, the combat effectiveness is needless to say, not to mention regularization, the cavalry is already a backward service, all of them are mechanized, who still plays with sabers?

Therefore, if you want to abolish it, there will not be too many soldiers left, Zhang Zuolin, the commander of the group army, can have one division left, so when the disarmament officer corps comes to announce the policy to him, Zhang Zuolin will jump over the wall in a hurry to play this bandit method.

After he made these things, he had a very bad impact in the army, Wu Peifu advocated dealing with it strictly, it was Yang Chao who suppressed him, after all, many of these people have contributed to Yang Chao since the Russo-Japanese War that year, and they really can't bear to use the knife.

Zhang Zuolin is in a dilemma, going to Fengtian to be the chief of police is a way out, but that is only his personal way out, a large number of his brothers are afraid that they will not have this treatment, so they can't bear to leave them behind, and the bandits' righteousness makes him a little entangled, whether it is for his personal future to cooperate with the government, or to fight against the government for the sake of the righteousness of the rivers and lakes.

"Is there no third way out?"

Zhang Zuolin said tentatively.

Yang Chao shook his head and said: "Mongolia has stabilized, there has been no great chaos in the Manchu Qing Dynasty here for three hundred years, and the Mongols are no longer the warriors of Genghis Khan, but the herdsmen who live honestly." This is not a place to use troops, and the cavalry will not find much way out elsewhere, and there will be no cavalry without the steppe, you should understand. ”

Zhang Zuolin nodded: "But there are too many people who have been laid off, they don't know how to raise horses and farm, they have no other ability than to fight, and they can't watch them fall and starve to death." ”

Yang Chao sighed: "Times have changed, and people must always change." In this way, I will be the master, cut to 30,000 people, but all of them will be transferred to Xinjiang, obey Yang Zengxin's orders, where is it still more chaotic, the Uyghur brothers and Mongolian princes are adding 100,000 White Russian defeated soldiers, and Yang Zengxin has no soldiers to deal with it is also very difficult. Although your cavalry background is not good, you can deal with these things easily, at least there will be no psychological burden. As for who to keep and who to lay, you can do it yourself. First of all, you need to be handy and competent, and you may need to do some dirty things. To put it mildly, maybe some of your men are looking forward to doing this kind of thing. ”

Zhang Zuolin's expression was sad, but he kowtowed to Yang Chao a few times.

"President Xie cultivates, the president has a life, and Yuting has a liver and brain."

"Get up. It's better not to smear your liver and brains, that's not a good thing. ”

Zhang Zuolin understood what Yang Chao said, because if Yang Chao really wanted to use him, I was afraid that it would not be a good thing, and when the world was in chaos and the people were not happy, I am afraid that people like him would be used.

After Zhang Zuolin left in a hurry, Yang Chao couldn't help sighing, an era is over, and the reckless atmosphere of the Republic of China is gradually drifting away, and I hope that it will never be restored.

"Your Excellency. Look! ”

As soon as Zhang Zuolin left, Zhang Nian ran in and wore a black fur.

"It's mink, isn't it?"

Yang Chao touched it and said with emotion.

Zhang Nian said with a smile: "Isn't it, the first-class mink Qiu, take it to Shanghai, at least a thousand taels of silver!" ”

Qiu is different from skin, the so-called fur refers to the small piece of fur under the armpit, which is the most delicate, the warmest, and the best color.

Yang Chao sighed: "This group of down-and-out nobles has guided the fashion. ”

That's right, that's what has been fashionable lately, Siberian fashion.

This wind blew from Siberia and swept to Kulun, obviously Zhang Nian must have bought it in Kulen by Zhang Zuolin, or got it through other means.

It is not surprising that this wind blew to Kulun, and they all rushed to Shanghai.

It's not surprising to rush to Shanghai, and it's hot in Paris.

It is also strange to say that before the war, Bohemian fashion was still popular in Paris, but since the Russian Revolution, a large number of Russian aristocrats went into exile in Paris, bringing the old and decadent Moscow and St. Petersburg court culture to Paris.

The impact of culture made Russian culture suddenly heat up with the help of the fashion platform of Paris, of course, there may also be Westerners' sympathy for the Russian aristocracy, which caused this trend.

With the stability of the Tsar's foundation in Siberia, the aristocracy once again gained power and status, and many Russian exiled nobles rushed to Siberia from all over the world, so that in this sparsely populated place, the ratio of nobles and commoners appeared extremely exaggerated, and the circle became smaller, and they were hit again, and lost hope, etc., these people played with their drunken dreams and died, and the cultural energy that erupted continued to brew in Siberia, and the cold wind could not stop this unhealthy wind.

It started in Paris, began to develop in Siberia, and then expanded to the whole world. Therefore, this fashion is also called Siberian style.

Yang Chao doesn't know how long this wind can blow, because this is obviously a crooked wind, of course, even if it is a crooked wind, it must have a certain foundation to be able to blow, such as the Russian Revolution, a large number of nobles in exile, it may cause a blend of multiple cultures, but the new culture that emerges after this cultural blend, whether it can be recognized, how long it will be recognized, it depends on the chance.

Culture is a kind of soft power, often with the expansion of hard power, such as fascist culture, everyone can immediately think of Nazis, later generations of young people still worship Nazis, including Russians who were exterminated by the Nazis, tens of millions of people, their skinheads often tattoo a Nazi swastika on their heads.

Speaking of American culture, before World War II, Americans were crazy about hedonism, a large number of dance halls, nightclubs, yachts, etc., were considered rotten, degenerate, and tending to perish, but when the Americans saved Europe, it became a symbol of freedom, and American culture began to be admired all over the world.

It is conceivable that if the Nazis had won, it would have been fashionable to wear swastikas, eat black bread, and drink German beer.

Even if the Nazis failed, their culture is still poisoned all over the world and admired by countless nationalists, but who knows that the founder of fascism is actually Mussolini, an Italian, but when the world thinks of the words rigorous, powerful, and expansionist, who will think of Italy?

Even when Adolf started, he regarded Mussolini as an idol, but few people in later generations would recognize Mussolini, isn't it because the Nazis have stronger hard power and are invincible all over the world, in the same way, even if Soviet Russia disintegrates, there are still countless admirers in the world, and the avatar of my big **** Taizu is not also circulating all over the world?

But now the atmosphere in Siberia has no hard power support at all, which makes Yang Chao a little confused.

Similar cultural phenomena, as well as bohemian culture, are also not linked to power, if it is because the misery of the Russian aristocracy has been sympathized, and the wandering life of the Gypsies is full of legends, then what about the Jews, their suffering is no less than that of the Russian aristocracy, their legends are no less than that of the Gypsies, how come the Jews have no culture that has been admired?

This is a question worth thinking about, because Yang Chao still wants to promote Chinese culture, but he really can't understand that to engage in this kind of fashion culture, people in the fashion circle have a keen sense of smell.

"Let's go, go to Siberia, let's also feel some of this cold snap, fashion!"

The train started, facing the north wind of Siberia, it was almost winter, and Yang Chao did not plan to spend this year in China.

Due to the development of Siberian oil and minerals, the Mongolian railway has been stained with light, and a complete double line has been built, and the double line is consistent with the standard of the Siberian railway, using the broad gauge of the Russians, the track is wider, and the carriages can also be widened, and the special train of Yang Chao can be very spacious.

It is also very stable, many experts in later generations believe that broad gauge has an advantage over standard gauges, but who makes the British powerful, their railway is the standard, initially the width of the butt of two horses, and the strength can make the butt of their two horses determine the width of the world's rails.

And China doesn't choose the British standard line? All railways in the world are basically in accordance with this standard, their own behind closed doors to develop a set of broad gauge technology, which is equivalent to competing with the world, Yang Chao does not have this ambition, nor this great nature, he intends to take advantage of the trend, in the future high-speed railway technology who knows which country developed first, is Japan or Germany? In any case, the countries of the standard track have a much better chance of developing it.

Moreover, most of China's railways are built according to standard tracks, so only where they are to be connected with Russian railways, will they retain broad gauge, such as the Northeast Railway, and in Mongolia, for example, this double line.

In addition to the broad gauge, a large number of heavy snow plows were produced, which were enough to ensure the smooth operation of the railway in winter, and as long as it was not a heavy snow that had not been encountered in a century, the oil from the Tyumen oil fields would not be undeliverable.

The train soon entered the borders of Siberia, and after three hours of walking north from the city of Trading, you will see the vast Baikal Lake, which will follow it west and finally to Irkutsk, which is now the capital of the Russian Empire.

A heavy snowfall came unexpectedly, when Yang Chao walked down the railway station in Irkutsk, the station in the heavy snow was a little unfamiliar, and after walking for more than half a year, the place was completely changed.

Stimulated by huge oil and mineral revenues, the Russian government has a lot of money to decorate the faΓ§ade, and the Irkutsk station has been renovated and expanded, and the whole station is renovated like an art museum, the station hall is paved with marble, there are painters' oil paintings everywhere, and the baroque dome is also painted with ornate strokes.

Where can you see that this is the ruling area of a group of down-and-out nobles?

Yang Chao couldn't help but shake his head, raised his legs and stepped into the car to pick him up. (To be continued.) )
