Chapter 70: My New Army, My Soldiers (6)

Wang Chenhao has a copywriter named Zhang Feng, this person is a native of Qixian County, a person from Zhili, originally a member of Li Hongzhang's staff, and later joined Wang Chenhao's shogunate, as a copywriter, responsible for drafting chapters, managing correspondence, etc., because of his excellent writing, he was praised by Li Hongzhang and Yang Shixiang.

Wang Chenhao knew very well the strength of the propaganda team of the Republic of China in his time, and a letter of writing would attract a large number of people to support at every turn, gain the moral high ground, and win the hearts of the army were all sharp weapons of the literati propaganda team, and it must be known that the spiritual appeal of the pen can sometimes persuade the enemy to surrender and change the situation of the war.

Wang Chenhao also wants to pull up a propaganda team loyal to him, this Zhang Feng has enough skills in this regard, and Zhang Feng is also young, so he can grow up and develop with Wang Chenhao.

However, the methods used to deal with military officers were not suitable for dealing with civilians. This literati is so high-minded and has a good reputation, and high-ranking officials may not be able to impress them. Especially this Zhang Feng, although he is in the Westernization faction, he is also a Qingliu official, and sometimes he will become a diehard and oppose some Westernization ideas.

Of course, in the big dye vat of the late Qing Dynasty, there was no strict boundary between the various parties, and many people were dangling back and forth between the emperor's party, the Qingliu corruption, the stubborn foreign affairs, and the various factions of the South and North Seas, jumping off the nest casually. This person may be a diehard in the last thing, but he may be a Westernist in the next thing.

For Zhang Feng, Wang Chenhao had to find another way. Fortunately, Wang Shizhen can be literate and martial, and he has a lot of ghost ideas, so he soon taught Wang Chenhao a trick, specifically for Zhang Feng's heart-saving method.

This literati are all good, and this Ruan literati is not exempt from vulgarity.

Youdao is a literati scratcher, but for Zhang Feng, the word "scratch" is no longer the "scratch" of scratching, but the "scratching" of the wind.

One day, Zhang Feng was idle and bored, and he was very uncomfortable with a group of soldiers every day. It just so happened that opposite the military horse farm, next to the Haihe River, was the Zizhu Forest in the British Concession in Tianjin, where a new Jiyuan was opened. This Zhang Feng and Zhang Dawen stayed there for the night, and got acquainted with a beautiful reporter Xiaoyu, who was cute and lovely, which made people love it. Zhang Dawen has since fallen into the gentle township, almost tired.

Over time, Zhang Feng actually wanted to take Xiaoyu as a concubine. Due to the influence of military regulations, Zhang Feng must report to Wang Chenhao.

Wang Chenhao learned a method of recruiting people from Yang Shixiang, and it happened that Zhang Feng gave him a chance.

Wang Chenhao immediately scolded Zhang Feng and said, "Don't you know that Lord Zhang is in the barracks?" Take a concubine! Aren't you afraid that the impact will be bad? ”

Zhang Feng was very disappointed, thinking that this handsome man was too unkind.

Half a month later, one night, Wang Chenhao suddenly summoned Zhang Feng and said that he would take him to Tianjin City to do errands. Zhang Feng didn't know what to do, and followed Wang Chenhao into the city.

Wang Chenhao didn't say anything, and directly took Zhang Feng into a courtyard in the east of the city. As soon as I entered the big house, I saw that the hall was brilliantly lit, the layout was extremely gorgeous, and the red candles on the hall were burning.

After entering the door, I saw a maid shouting, "The new aunt has arrived!" While helping out a beautiful woman dressed as a bride from the inside.

Zhang Feng fell into the fog, took a closer look, and suddenly felt ecstatic and stunned, it turned out that this bride was Xiaoyu he had been thinking about for a long time.

It turned out that Wang Chenhao superficially rejected Zhang Feng's request, but secretly sent someone to redeem Xiaoyu, and asked Tianjin Daotai Lan Jingming to open a marriage letter and a house deed document and purchase a house in Tianjin City, and also renovated and arranged a new house, and directly handled the marriage for Zhang Feng.

What else can Zhang Feng say? All that moved was the tears, which was called a gurgling drip. And Xiaoyu was even more grateful, and from then on, he tied Zhang Feng to blow the wind on his pillow every day to make him loyal to Wang Chenhao.

There is no man in the world who can make Zhang Feng succumb, this is the so-called literati arrogance, but there are women who thread the needle and pave the way and build bridges is another matter, since then this Zhang Feng has been the first to look forward to Wang Chenhao, and he has been loyal to Wang Chenhao all his life, and it is no problem to make great contributions to Wang Chenhao.

Every literati has a circle around him, this Zhang Feng fell to Wang Chenhao, and the friends around him naturally did Wang Chenhao's work, and over time, they all came under Wang Chenhao's account.

In addition to Zhang Feng, Wang Chenhao, with the guidance and help of strategists such as Yang Shixiang and Wang Shizhen, quickly gathered Ruan Zhongshu and Yan Xiu. Yan Xiu good ancient books, especially the books of the Song Dynasty, are the favorite.

Wang Chenhao learned of his hobby, and together with Li Youyi, he coaxed and deceived Li Jurong from Zhang Peilun's wife Li Jurong to get a set of carved versions of Zizhi Tongjian from the Song Dynasty and gave it to Yan Xiu. This Song Dynasty engraving version of the Zizhi Tongjian is a priceless treasure for the literati, Wang Chenhao gave it to Yan Xiu, and he was favored by Yan Xiu, and immediately hired him as a staff member to assist Zhang Feng in managing the propaganda work of the new army.

And this Ruan Zhongshu is also from a high background, Wencai and Zhang Peilun have a fight, and they are talented. But he is tall and strong in everything, and Wang Chenhao can't win him over in many ways. Later, I learned that he was naturally afraid of his wife and strict with his wife, so Wang Chenhao sent Li Youyi's killer weapon and set up a sisterhood with Ruan Zhongshu's wife Ruan Zhang, but Ruan Zhongshu had to go to Wang Chenhao to report to serve under Ruan Zhang's order.

After a period of hard work, Wang Chenhao's small group of shogunates developed rapidly. The text has Zhang Peilun, Yang Shixiang, Wang Shizhen, Zhang Feng, Ruan Zhongshu, Yan Xiu and other scholars; With the assistance of Jiang Guidi, Gong Yuanyou, Liang Huadian, Duan Qirui, Wang Yingkai, Yang Rongtai, Wu Changchun, Xu Bangjie, Ren Yongqing, Feng Guozhang and other generals, Wu quickly formed a new interest group on the basis of the newly built army in Zhili.

Since Li Hongzhang is still the boss of Beiyang, the Huaijun system still controls the Beiyang machine. Although Li Hongzhang acquiesced to Wang Chenhao's development and growth, it was not so easy for a new group to replace the old one. Li Hongzhang is old, and many things and people are not completely under his orders. Therefore, Wang Chenhao wants to replace Beiyang, and there is still considerable resistance.

However, Wang Chenhao was not in a hurry, and under the planning of his staff group, the first step was to take control of the new army, which has already achieved great success. The next step is to seize power with the old Huai army system, which depends on the victory of the new army in the autumn season, only the new army defeats the old army and has strength, so that it has the ability to compete with the Huai army system.

The training work of the new army went very smoothly, and Wang Chenhao took two hours a day to participate in the training and mingle with the officers and men.

In addition to Wang Chenhao's victory at work, he has also been personally trained during this time. The complexion is darker, the body is stronger, the strict and arduous training and the careful care of the wife, this body has also grown muscle blocks, giving the soldiers the feeling that they are no longer scholars with fine skin and tender meat, and some of the temperament of soldiers.

In terms of physical fitness, Wang Chenhao is still at the bottom of the army.

However, in terms of skills, because Wang Chenhao has a knowledge base and is smart, he quickly learned some fighting essentials and shooting skills, and there is no problem in dealing with street hooligans and ruffians.

For Wang Chenhao, his career, marriage, and personal fulfillment are undoubtedly a very happy thing.
