The Lu army recruited troops, lured with high returns, and bonded with kindness and righteousness, and the treatment of the troops was also the best among the six towns in Beiyang. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoIn addition to the full food and salary of the soldiers themselves, there are also many preferential treatments for military families, and it is very easy to recruit soldiers.

As long as they have their own fields, they don't have to hand over their wives to the patriarch or squire to enjoy first, as in the past, and the family can have saved grain and have their own livestock, they are already satisfied. For these dreams, some are young and strong descendants, willing to use their lives to fight for their families.

In addition, Xiao Dalong's appearance also provided great help for recruitment. He was just a restless prankster in this land. Now he can become the battalion commander of the Lu army, and he has a large number of post-secondary self-confidence, and he is only stronger than him in terms of ability, he can be the battalion commander, why can't he be.

The upsurge of joining the army, accompanied by the public opinion of dividing the land and implementing the new policy, swept the entire northern Jiangsu along with the heat wave. For Zhao Guanhou's new policies, the conservative northern Jiangsu may not be willing to accept it. But no one wants to refuse the benefits that come with the New Deal. The sticks that came with the carrots, although the taste was not very pleasant, but for the sake of the carrots, I could only endure it first.

In general, there are not many provisions in these new decrees that disturb the people, except for the construction of water conservancy projects during the agricultural slack, the construction of warehouses, and the dispatch of military officers as masters. However, compared with the past, the rich lords and lords are not unacceptable to the tenants.

As for the divorce clause for women, the temporary impact on most rural families is not significant. These women generally do not make such a request, but are more worried about being divorced by their husbands. The main ones who need to have a headache for this are those who are large and middle-class.

These people conceal public opinion, and it is not easy to deal with it originally, but in Shandong, Zhao Guanhou has the most powerful propaganda machine. The students who ran with him from Tianjin to Shandong were all liberal arts students. They popularized education in Shandong, and they also taught liberal arts. At this time, the scientific and engineering talents in Shandong are very limited, and if it is about science and technology or improving industry, it is not enough, that is, when it comes to the pen and mouth, but no one is afraid.

Newspaper pen wars, whether justified or unreasonable, this group of literati loyal to Zhao Guanhou can always be self-contained, eloquent, and beat their opponents to the ground. After Zhuang Zhifei was killed, the Confucian Church in Shandong protested as soon as possible, but then it was bombarded indiscriminately in the war of public opinion.

Moreover, the gang controlled by Zhao Guanhou squeezed the newspaper's exclusive trick. Newspaper boys are not allowed to sell this newspaper, and if anyone owns the newspapers of these newspapers, they will be scolded and harassed by the gangsters, and they will never beat people, and it is useless to ask the police to investigate. If you hit them, they will lie down and hold on to your legs, and then the police will come to deal with you.

By this means, all newspapers that supported the Confucian Church could not be opened, public opinion became one-sided, and the results of the battle were self-evident.

The pen war cannot be won, and the road of armed confrontation will not lead at all. Just when the incident of the banker had not subsided, Sun Meiyao's cavalry regiment had already slaughtered in northern Jiangsu, and in the name of suppressing bandits, they began to run horses and conduct military exercises in northern Jiangsu.

Zhao Guanhou also inspected the security regiments and local armed forces in northern Jiangsu in the name of inspecting the troops, and an infantry association under his command had already taken a train to the northern Jiangsu region, and it was obvious that preparations were made, and once there was any change in the security regiments, it was inevitable to take force to solve the problem.

With the precedent of the recruitment conditions of the previous tenants of the bankers, these large landlords in northern Jiangsu have doubts about the loyalty of their tenants in their own families. In the event of a war with the officers and soldiers, no one can be sure of their position.

is not a tenant, but in his own family, those distant relatives are no longer trustworthy. The number of cronies who can really be trusted with life and death is too small, and even if an alliance is formed, it may not be able to resist the thunderous blow of these regular armies.

In Xuzhou City, more than a dozen members of the Confucian Church in Northern Jiangsu gathered in the Lanyue Pavilion in Xuzhou today, listening to the pipa of the top red man and discussing the situation in northern Jiangsu.

These members of the Confucian Church, all of whom are the presidents of the local Confucian Church, attach the most importance to ethics and morality, and are men who have no lawless families and no daughters who have remarried.

"In my family, Bo has land, and they are all generations of the family, and they have worked hard to cultivate. Now you have to force the purchase, this is a forced purchase and forced sale! Even when Dajin was in power, those clan Baylors had never been so domineering. ”

"But if he doesn't sell it, he'll rob it. Zhiweng was killed, the so-called guilt, in the final analysis, is a sentence, he refused to sell his land to Guanshuai. If he had sold his land earlier, he would not have been killed. At present, Shandong is also engaged in unified grain purchase and sales, and the prices of all grain are all opened by the Caizheng Department of the Shandong Provincial Government. It is illegal to sell food to other people or institutions. What kind of truth is this, foreigners don't break the law when they buy grain, but we break the law when we sell grain, this ...... Where is the word fair? ”

"Fair? Dude, where is this fair again? He relied on nothing more than the Albians and Prussians of Shandong, and they were not enthusiastic about the grain business. These foreigners care more about products such as pig bristles, tung oil, cloth, and cotton than grain. The people who really manage the grain are the people of Fuso. However, Shandong is not a Fusang concession, so he dares to be so unscrupulous, and if it is changed to the power of the Fusang people, he will never dare to act like this. ”

Several people nodded their heads. Another said: "When the bride passes through the door, she has to go to the patriarch's house to learn the rules for three days, which is a rule that has been practiced in northern Jiangsu for many years. In a word, he will abolish all the old rules, and as soon as this example is opened, there is no law that cannot be abolished, and there is no gift that cannot be removed. China's thousands of years of traditional civilization are about to be destroyed in one fell swoop. This...... This is to cut off the Taoism of my Chinese culture. ”

"That's right, I think his original intention was to break off the Taoism of my traditional Chinese culture! Since ancient times, it has been an eternal truth that men are inferior to women. He has to do the opposite, engage in equality between men and women, and do not distinguish between superior and inferior, isn't this perverse and destroying morality? Supporting a widow's remarriage and corrupting a woman's morality is for his own selfish desires. I heard that his relationship with several women was very unclear, and this rule was set for himself. Shandong's financial power is actually in the hands of a foreign woman. China's finances are controlled by foreigners, what is the difference between this and the emperor? He is handsome, and he is simply a puppet of foreigners. In my opinion, we should unite and expel him from northern Jiangsu! ”

Several people nodded their heads in agreement, and the red man's pipa also took the opportunity to cheer up, and it was as urgent as a storm, really like an iron horse protruding, and the feeling of a silver bottle bursting.

An old man in his sixties said: "Miss Baoyue, it seems that you also agree with our opinion, this pipa is to make war drums for us!" As long as our generation joins hands to expel it, we can definitely drive it out of northern Jiangsu, and even southern Lunan, we can also take it. Now that the communist form of government has opened up the ban on the party, our Confucian Church has taken it as its own responsibility to restore the unity of Chinese culture and Taoism, and it is also time to shoulder its own responsibilities and wage war against the destruction of our traditional culture! We all have tenants under our subordinates, and if we organize them, tens of thousands of troops will be available in a moment. Our generation separately apportioned military salaries and rations, purchased ordnance from foreign banks, organized regimental training to protect themselves, and established a self-made federation in northern Jiangsu in Xuzhou, not following the orders of Jiangbei patrol. Then ask the capital for help, and ask the president to uphold justice! The saint of the South China Sea is the president of my Confucian Church, and he will definitely be able to speak for us, and as long as there are one or two bigwigs in the capital, I may be able to really get a blessing in disguise and not be subject to the jurisdiction of Shandong. ”

The other shook his head and said, "Brother Li, this matter is not easy. The strength of our northern Jiangsu Province must rely on its own independence, which is more difficult than ascending to the sky. Some time ago, Xingzhong Society rebelled twice, what was the result? Lost the territory of several provinces in vain, lost troops and generals, how can it be compensated? Those Geming Party members, if they can't do anything, can cross the ocean and walk away. My family has all my wealth here, where can I go? In my opinion, it is better to rely on a strongman than to raise an army to rebel. Now Zhang Shaoshuai is in Xuzhou, and Feng Huashuai is in charge of Jiangning. Whether we are voting for Zhang or Feng, we will drive Zhao together. We don't need to pay attention to the decrees of Jiangbei under the jurisdiction of the Yangtze River Patrol Envoy or under the rule of Jiangsu. ”

Several gentry were quite in favor of this proposal. In the comparison between Feng Yuzhang and Zhang Yuan, everyone is more inclined to Zhang Yuan.

This Zhang Braided Shuai, who has never concealed his hatred of the idea of communism, is brave and unscrupulous, and his knowledge is also poor. The troops under his command still used the former gold to make a faction, kneeling and saluting, handing over the handbook, and the personnel appointment was dispatched by the commission. The whole army wore braids, and when they saw that the marshal was going to kneel and participate, the herald still used the dragon head to order arrows. These measures are obviously more in line with the tastes of these gentry.

Moreover, Zhang Yuan acted like the former Jin general Nian Qianyao, and commanded the military attache of the red top and regarded him as a servant, but he was particularly polite to the guests. Especially for these old-school literati who have made a name for themselves or have been civil officials in the pre-Jin era, they are the most respected, and for international students, most of them want to take the first rank and then quickly.

These members of the Confucian Church were famous in the pre-Jin era, including those who served as prefects and county governors, and those who served as court officials in Beijing. After Zhang Yuan takes over northern Jiangsu, he will definitely remain unchanged, and the real power of the local government will still be in the hands of his own gentry and village sages.

Not only can the fields be preserved, but the fine traditions such as the right to go out of the night can also be continued, so that the Taoist system of China will not be cut off, and the splendid civilization of thousands of years will not be destroyed in one fell swoop, which is a good deed.

Another person: "Not long ago, Mr. Changsu sent a telegram to get reliable news from Beijing that the president had decided to establish the country with Confucianism and worship Confucius, and that our Confucian church should be prosperous, and those who oppose traditional Chinese culture will inevitably be severely punished by the president." In addition, the President is preparing to introduce a decree separating the provincial overseers from the civil governors. Overseer the army, not to be in charge of civil affairs, when Zhao Guanhou goes to the post of civil affairs, the army is not allowed to interfere in civil affairs and justice, do we still need to be afraid of him? ”

Everyone knows that the person who spoke has a good way in the capital, because Liang Rengong joined the cabinet, and because of the betrayal of the official matter with his disciples, Kang Zuyi, who was openly out of harmony, naturally would not enter the cabinet as an official. However, he has wide ears and well-informed information in Beijing, and he will definitely not let go of it. As long as he persists in front of him, after Zhao Guanhou loses the position of civil chief, these gentry don't have to be afraid of him. Thinking again, in the future, the Confucian Church may be designated as the state religion by the president, and these leaders of the Confucian Church will be able to compete with the important officials of the provincial government in the local area, and the fields will naturally not be encroached upon, and they can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Several people raised their glasses to the gentry who came up with the idea, and said to Baoyue: "Tonight, you come to accompany Master Lin, the bureau account, and a few of us will pay for it." ”

Baoyue smiled slightly, "This ...... I'm afraid it's a little inconvenient, I still have a guest this night, whether Master Lin can stay or not depends on the guest's opinion. ”

It is very common for Ji Nu to have a few guests crash into the car, and it is a common thing for a red man like this to have the means, and he can perfunctory several aspects without offending one party. One of the initiators of this meeting, Li Huaisheng, a famous Confucian in Suqian, sank his face, "Have a guest?" I don't know which guest it is, could it be that Miss Baoyue has a particularly deep friendship with him? ”

Baoyue was not in a hurry, "That's not it, it's just that people come from afar, come all the way once, and have the face of friends, if I don't entertain well, it's not good to explain in front of my sisters." Well, then, I will let you meet, and if you have anything to say, tell you to your face. ”

Between the ticket passengers, there is no reason to meet in public, and several defenders of the Chinese Taoist system are all famous in the Fengyue field, how can they not understand this rule. They all frowned, thinking about how this Baoyue was so confused, how to be the top card. was about to get up and sit down and leave, giving her a drying table, but she coughed, "I said, you better please come out, you should listen to it, it's almost done, why stay inside." ”

The door to the small room inside was pushed open, and a tall man came out of it with a smile. "I'm admiring Baoyue's masterpiece, so you have to call me out, where did you start? Hello guys. Zhao Guanhou is here, and I have a gift to you. ”

The man everyone saw was dressed in a tweed military uniform, equipped with a gun and a hanging knife, it was Zhao Guanhou who they were about to deal with, and his own discussions were all listened to by him, which was too embarrassing. Fortunately, this is Xuzhou, not in the jurisdiction of northern Jiangsu, Li Huaisheng looked at Baoyue, "Miss Baoyue, your friendship is really good, it seems that I can't stay in this place, farewell!" ”

"Wait!" Zhao Guanhou said coldly: "Several, it's easy to come, if you want to leave, I'm afraid it's difficult." I still have a few official matters, and I want to talk to you about foreign aid, but I am afraid that you will not be able to leave now. ”

Li Huaisheng's face was cold, "Guanshuai, you are the Jiangbei patrol envoy, Xuzhou is the place where Zhang Shaoshuai is stationed, and your jurisdiction can't reach here." The old decay is in Xuzhou, and he is not under the control of Guanshuai, right? ”

"Huai Weng, what you said is wrong, in northern Jiangsu, you are under my control, in Xuzhou, you are still under my control, wherever you go, you have to be under my control. The guards you have taken with you have been disarmed by my men. Now, you guys, without my orders, won't be able to go anywhere. ”

"What do you mean, Guanshuai?" Lin Yangshan, who had just gone out to defect to Zhang, stepped forward, "Could it be that the dignified members of the co-ordination want to learn from the white wolf in Henan?" ”

"It's not kidnapping, it's arresting. Several of you, in the case involving the white wolf, you must follow me back to Shandong to assist in the investigation. If you want to say Zhang Yuan, okay, I'll hang up the phone for him and let him talk to you in person. ”

Baoyue has a telephone here, Zhao Guanhou wants to talk on the phone, the time has passed for about half an hour, only to hear a sound of footsteps, the first door is four back knife horses, after entering the door, like the station door on the stage, left and right. Immediately, I saw Zhang Yuan, who was dressed in a robe, walked in from outside the door, and according to the etiquette of two bows and six bows, he saluted Zhao Guanhou and said:

"Humble officer, please greet the marshal." (To be continued.) )
