Just pulled Jiang Baili and complained for a long time, Yan Shao suddenly found that he seemed to be a little out of shape by doing this, so after coughing awkwardly, Yan Shao said apologetically. "I'm sorry, I'm a little excited..."

But on the other hand, after venting, Yan Shao also felt a lot more relaxed in his heart.

It's no wonder he's like this, after all, he's been criticized for more than a year, and even people with good psychological quality can't stand it. If Yan Shao is really perverse, forget it, but everything he does is for the good of the people—————— but then again, if it weren't for that, there wouldn't be so many people in Anhui to support him, after all, the changes around him are still noticed by the people.

The attitude of the common people is also very clear, whoever can make their lives better, they will support whom, it's as simple as that.

Because of this, the vast majority of people basically scoffed after reading these reports, and even many supporters of Yan Shao also published articles to refute these voices, which is probably the only thing that can comfort Yan Shao.

By the way, there are actually people within the military government who have proposed that Yan Shao take some measures against this kind of thing, such as making those people unable to speak or something, or directly arresting them to make an example.

However, these Yan Shao were all vetoed by Yan Shao, after all, he just wanted to speed up the development of the country through more authoritarian means, so as not to waste the time that could be built ten roads to rub shoulders with the local council for the sake of building one road, rather than really wanting dictatorship.

Even Caterina wanted to catch a few to get angry for him, but he stopped her, naturally. On the surface, he still seemed indifferent.

On the other hand, seeing Yan Shao apologizing there, Jiang Baili smiled and said. "It's okay..."

Until now. Jiang Baili's impression of Yan Shao is quite good, and there are three main reasons for this. One is that Yan Shao's appearance is good, although it seems a bit vulgar to say this, but the first view of human beings on others is originally judged by appearance, such as Sun Quan and Liu Bei during the Three Kingdoms (what is the Three Kingdoms?). After the Battle of Chibi, when he saw Pang Tong, he disliked him because his appearance was too bad. Well, the former. Probably because he was used to characters like Mei Zhoulang, he really couldn't stand being so ugly, and because he was disrespectful to Zhou Yu.

As for the latter. I'm afraid it's purely because Pang Tong is too ugly...

Sun Quan is also forgotten, you must know that Liu Bei has always had the reputation of Corporal Lixian before, and he is like this, so you can imagine the importance of appearance.

In this regard, it is the wife Cao who performs well. didn't dislike Pang Tong because he was ugly. However, Pang Tong stabbed him in the only person who appreciated him, and I don't know what Lu Dao would have thought if Pang Tong knew what would happen in the future at that time—————— this seems to be the setting in the novel?

Ahem, let's think it's something that happened in the parallel world, and it's true that Pang Tong only served as a county magistrate at the beginning...

————————————————————

Yan Shao's words, although they look like Sun Yat-sen, Song Jiaoren and others, they are not bad, and they often have a smile on their faces, which is easy to make people feel good.

The next day outside of the appearance. is Yan Shao's current status.

If Yan Shao was only a provincial overseer in the past, then the current Yan Shao only has two provinces under his rule. But any smart person can see that if nothing else, after all, he can replace Yuan Shikai's current position, and he has more power than him, and to put it mildly, he is the lord of the world.

And what about Jiang Baili? Although he is also a little famous, at this time he is just a first-class senator on Yuan Shikai's side, and he has no status at all. Yan Shao was very moved by this courteous corporal—————— although it is now a modern era, but this hand is very effective even if it is placed in a few decades, and it is naturally impossible for Jiang Baili not to be moved at this time.

Of course, he may not know how famous he is in the future life, compared to him, Yan Shao is the corporal...

In addition to these two points, the third and most important point is the change in Anhui.

Appearance, are there fewer people in these years? Wasn't Wang Jingwei once known as one of China's four most beautiful men? The result...

Corporal Lixian, Wang Mang also had Corporal Lixian back then, didn't he? ——————By the way, Wang Mang is a traverser, right? It's a traverser, right? (For details, please Baidu bronze caliper, Wang Mang's period... ）

In Jiang Baili's view, appearance may be able to give people a good impression, but it is not enough to believe, although the attitude towards people is important, but after all, it is still a little worse, only to see what a person has done, can you really confirm a person...

The changes in Anhui made Jiang Baili feel refreshed, so he recognized Yan Shao's words just now. In fact, as a first-class senator of Yuan Shikai's presidential palace, he is not really unclear about some things that happened in Anhui, after all, there is no Yuan Shikai and the Kuomintang behind the criticism of Yan Shao in public opinion...

And to be honest, it is really difficult to pursue the development of the country without affecting the rights and interests of individuals.

If it was in peacetime, or in the absence of external threats, Jiang Baili did attach more importance to the latter. However, he knows very well that the current situation in China is indeed as dangerous as Yan Shao said, and the great powers can be said to be eyeing China with a tiger's eye, and at this time it seems to be a bit of putting the cart before the horse to regard personal rights and interests above national interests.

After all, the country is gone, so what's the use of individual rights and interests? This is the best example of this decades later—————— of course, Jiang Baili did not know what happened decades later, otherwise he would have become a traverser.

Moreover, people in this era regard national interests as higher than personal interests, especially when the national situation is critical, so Jiang Baili will inevitably be more inclined to Yan Shao.

————————————————————

"That being said, there will always be something bad about the high level of individual power, and if there is no means of limitation. I'm afraid..."Leaning a little towards Yan Shao's side, Jiang Baili said in a deep voice.

Although Yuan Shikai is the leader of Beiyang, when it comes to the rights within the group, I am afraid that Yan Shao is not as high as in the Kuomintang. After all, everything in this group can be said to be given by Yan Shao, and almost all the most critical financial aspects are in Yan Shao's hands.

In Jiang Baili's opinion, Yan Shao is a very easy-going person and a very good person, but who knows what will happen to Lu Dao in the future? He never dared to ignore the temptation of power.

Now he is only the ruler of a province, and he may be able to control the temptation of power, but when he becomes the ruler of this country......... Will he be able to hold himself up as he is now? It's really hard to say...

If Yan Shao is unwilling to give up the power in his hands at that time, then the benefits of autocracy will not be able to offset the impact of the disadvantages...

"Is this this?" Yan Shao groaned. From a certain point of view, if you want to convince Jiang Baili, I'm afraid this is also an unavoidable topic. Fortunately, when he was in the party in the past, Yan Shao had talked about it to many members. So it won't seem to be caught off guard when it's rushed.

So after a moment of silence, Yan Shao spoke. "A country always has to develop, and a country that maintains a more authoritarian system must do everything possible to make its citizens live a better life than it used to be. Other words. The country must continue to develop. ”

"A better life than the past, what is a better life than the past? In my opinion, it means having enough food, warm clothes, a good house, getting sick, going to school, and everyone has a job..."

And that's the crux of the matter, as I just said, if a regime, especially a more authoritarian regime, wants to gain support, it has to give the people a better life. And if this is achieved, then the level of the people will also be improved in all aspects, especially in terms of quality. And after having the foundation of the republic, the people will naturally not be satisfied with the original life at this time. Instead of pursuing a more 'humane' system, if the regime does not want to be overthrown, it can only continue to carry out reforms—————— of course, he can also try to suppress it, but the problem is that the army will also be improved, and it will be difficult for the army to obey the government's orders..."

"Well, the problem is solved. As long as the country continues to grow, it will one day have a republican foundation. If the ruler does not want to be overthrown, he can only conform to the will of the people, which is really gratifying, gratifying..."

Saying this, Yan Shao clapped his hands in a similar way.

In fact, there were two such examples in his day. One is Taiwan and the other is South Korea. How to say it, in Yan Shao's era, after the end of World War II, those who were able to evolve from backward countries to developed countries on their own strength basically adopted this way.

That is, to develop the economy in a more authoritarian way first, and when everything is almost developed, it will naturally come to pass.

Taiwan's words originated from Chiang Ching-kuo, and South Korea's words originated from Park Chung-hee. The development of these two countries into developed countries can be said to be indispensable to the efforts of these two people.

But...

After that, South Korea is a little better, Taiwan has developed from democracy to populism, and it is difficult to say that there has been any progress from Chiang Ching-kuo's death to the present...

In any case, the two countries are still barely considered developed countries, and those countries that have chosen the democratic line from the beginning after the war have mostly achieved nothing...

So Yan Shao still has some confidence in his choice.

————————————————————

"That's it..."Jiang Baili touched his chin, feeling that what Yan Shao said did have some truth.

The human heart will never be satisfied, and now they may be temporarily satisfied because of the better life. But when this life reaches a certain level, they will certainly begin to pursue another life, and then even if the ruler is unwilling to change, he can only change.

Seeing that Jiang Baili also seemed to agree with him, Yan Shao talked about his three-step route of 'military administration, discipline and constitutionalism' with great interest, and at the same time once again made a request to Jiang Baili.

"Now that the main obstacle to the military and political stage has been removed, the remaining ones, including the Kuomintang and other warlords, can only be regarded as clowns, as long as there is the help of Brother Baili, I believe that it will soon be able to enter the stage of political training..."

Hearing Yan Shao say this, Jiang Baili was a little moved, after all, he was only a first-class senator with Yuan Shikai after all. And he just took this position, and he has no feelings for Yuan Shikai at all, so he naturally doesn't need to be as reserved as Duan Qirui and them.

And now it is Yan Shao who comes to the door in person. He also has a lot of good feelings for Yan Shao, so ...

"Governor Yan is so warmly invited, if Baili is refusing, I'm afraid he will be a little ignorant..."After a deep groan, Jiang Baili nodded solemnly. In this case, then Baili sold this life to the governor! ”

Hearing Jiang Baili say this, Yan Shao was overjoyed.

No way. Although he knows a little bit about history, he has a little bit of military affairs...

The military talents of this era only need Jiang Baili, Cai Yi and Wu Peifu, as for the remaining famous generals that Yan Shao really knows. Now they are only a few years old or teenagers, and if they want to grow up, they need to wait for at least ten or twenty years.

"In this way, I will ask Brother Baili to take care of me in the future...", stretched out his right hand. A gentle smile appeared on Yan Shao's face. At this time, Yan Shao was just 30 years old, and Jiang Baili was 31 years old, which happened to be one year older than Yan Shao, and it was normal to call him brother.

Seeing Yan Shao like this, Jiang Baili couldn't help but shake it, but Yan Shao could call him a brother, but he didn't dare to really call him a brother. After all, the gap between each other's identities is too big, and now Yan Shaoren looks really good. But who knows if he will turn his face in the future?

For this kind of superior, Jiang Baili has never dared to despise it.

On the other hand. Since Jiang Baili is willing to help himself, it is inevitable to make a wish. After all, as a superior person, it is impossible to naively think that others are willing to follow him, purely because of his ideals and without any utilitarianism.

"Brother Baili's great talent Yan Mou knows the way, but now that my brother has just joined in after all, I'm afraid it will be a little criticized to give a high position rashly..."After a moment of silence, Yan Shao raised his head and said. In this way, there are about 40,000 troops on Minister Fu's side, and now they are persuading these captives to join us......... However, after all, the war some time ago was fought a little too tragically, and it is really difficult to say how many people will be willing in the end, but how to say that there should always be 10,000 or 20,000 people..."

Yan Shao still has some confidence in this, after all, the treatment of the National Social Army is much stronger than that of Beiyang.

For most Chinese people in this era, the country and the nation are just empty words, and real money is the most real. Considering the treatment of the National Social Army, there should be many people who are willing to join the last.

"When their side is over, I will form these prisoners into a separate division, and this division will be entrusted to you, Brother Baili..."

Of course, with Yan Shao's rights, Jiang Baili can also be directly appointed as the chief of the general staff or the vice minister of defense. The problem is that Jiang Baili is only an outsider after all, and he has neither a reputation nor any outstanding achievements, so he is rashly promoted to a high position, I am afraid that there will be a lot of criticism within the military government.

What's more, Yan Shao doesn't know much about Jiang Baili, but he knows that the person in front of him is the most famous military theorist in modern Chinese history, and his actual skills are completely unclear, so he always has to look at the quality first.

If he is really capable, it is not too late to promote him when the time comes, if he is not capable...

Then let him work in the position of division commander for the rest of his life...

After all, if he couldn't manage even a division well, Yan Shao would have no reason to hand over an army or even a group army to him.

As I said before, what Yan Shao lacks most now is talent, especially in the war a year later, it takes a lot of talent to help win—————— don't forget the Japanese advantage at sea, which is heavy artillery with a range of tens of kilometers...

Of course, the sighting devices of the navy in this era were still very rudimentary, and if you fought with the maximum range in naval warfare, you basically did not expect to hit any targets. But what if it's just a blast from the sea to land? In the vast sea, the battleship is large but only a small ship, but if it is a land target...

Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of troops are gathered together, and this goal is no problem even if it is a few kilometers away...

"In addition, if the north-south peace talks are successful, the Beiyang Army in the Beijing-Tianjin region will also be reorganized later, as long as Brother Baili can make some achievements in office......... The commander of the army, I still have the right to decide this position..."

When he is thirsty for talents, Yan Shao will definitely not be stingy with his official position, but it is impossible to hand over his power to some mediocre talents. However, after meeting Jiang Baili, Yan Shao felt that there should be no problem.

As for the head of an army or something, this Yan Shao is really a little modest.

After all, everything in the current military government is supported by Yan Shao's personal financial resources, plus there is a special affairs bureau there......... Although it is not that there are no other voices in the National Socialist Party, it can only exist under Yan Shao's tolerance, and the entire National Socialist Party can be said to be completely Yan Shao's words.

At the same time, after listening to Yan Shao's promise, Jiang Baili was really a little surprised.

At this time, in addition to serving as a first-class senator in the presidential office, Jiang Baili also served as the principal of the Baoding Military Academy. In his opinion, although Yan Shao attaches great importance to himself, the position he gave himself at the end of the year is probably similar to the above, who told him that he has never led soldiers...

But then again, who among those who study military theory is not willing to actually lead troops...

What's more, the National Socialist Army is also different from the Beiyang Army, as the first-class senator of the Presidential Palace, Jiang Baili still knows the National Socialist Army better, especially the latest establishment of the National Socialist Army... (To be continued......)
