In the blink of an eye, in July of the fourth year of the Republic of China (1915), Wang Zhenyu also became the father of three children, Zhao Yuting, who had been married into the Wang family and became the second wife, gave birth to the second young master Jingwen, and Ye Ziwen, who was the main room, also gave birth to the third young master Jingwu. Wang Zhenyu's cheap father Wang Longxian was very distressed about this: "What about these three grandsons who will inherit his father's handsome position in the future?" ”

As a father, Wang Zhenyu's current mind is not at all on these three little boys, and he has taken Chief of Staff Yang Wangui and his entourage down to various grassroots units to inspect the combat readiness work; after the meeting in May last year, the army's expansion and reorganization of combat readiness work has all been launched. In July last year, Europe finally broke out unceremoniously according to the original trajectory of history, and Wang Zhenyu's explanation for this is that history is actually affected by the butterfly effect, but China's influence in this era is too small, so the effect of its own big butterfly is naturally gone.

Yang Yongtai, a congressman who was ordered to go south to pick him up from the north, finally made up his mind to take refuge in himself, this is a man who is good at strategy, Wang Zhenyu attaches great importance to him, and directly gives him the post of alternate member of the Standing Committee of the National Socialist Party and secretary general of the Central Party Department.

After the outbreak of the European War, Wang Zhenyu's previous layout took effect, first of all, in addition to Japan, foreign yarns have withdrawn from the Chinese market. Before the Japanese who had made a lot of money had time to be happy, they found that both the cotton production area and the cotton yarn factory had been controlled by the Rong family in Shanghai. More and more industrial products from Anjiang are filling the market that was previously controlled by Britain, France, Germany, and other foreign companies, and this has attracted the attention of the Japanese Special High School, which has been in charge of intelligence gathering on the Chinese side. The special high school immediately instructed the special service organization in China to carry out an all-round investigation of the Anjiang side, but they did not know that as soon as these Japanese entered Anjiang, they immediately heard nothing, knowing that they had entered as Chinese. According to the so-called historical experience, the Japanese can only explain that there are many bandits in Xiangxi, and these emperor's samurai are all loyal to Emperor Bixia. In addition, the Japanese are now focusing all their minds on how to weaken Yuan Shikai's central government and prevent China from completing de facto unification. Therefore, Zuihou temporarily gave up Jihua to send intelligence personnel to Anjiang, and this also led to a large-scale reshuffle of the entire Japanese special high school intelligence network against China.

Wang Zhenyu is now more concerned about the development of Liuzhou, and the Jishu advantage of the Luxembourgers makes up for the serious shortage of Jishu personnel in the Xianggui area. But even so, Wang Zhenyu asked every Luxembourg jishu personnel (including engineers, technicians, teachers, officials, doctors) to arrange one to three young people to follow and study, because after the end of the European war, these Luxembourgers will return to their homeland in Europe, which has now fallen and is groaning under the iron hooves of the Germans. Since Archduke Marie of Luxembourg was unable to escape, he became a subject of Kaiser Wilhelm II. The Luxembourgers in Liuzhou immediately elected Princess Charlotte, the sister of Archduke Marie, who was only nineteen, as the Grand Regent, and continued to lead the Luxembourgers who had emigrated to China to fight the evil Germans (Wang Zhenyu was not without malicious suspicions, how were these Luxembourgers preparing to fight the Germans in Europe in China?). ）。 Just last month, the railway from Liuzhou to Nanning and to Fangchenggang was completed. And with the help of the Luxembourgers, two steel plants with an annual capacity of one million tons were put into production. As a result of this series of actions, men and women throughout Guangxi were mobilized, and they put down their hoes one after another, some took up arms and entered the army, some put on overalls and entered the factory, and some risked their lives to enter the mining area to become miners.

As a result, the large and small landlords in Guangxi suddenly found that they could not find tenants, and they begged the peasants who had not yet left their hometowns to rent their own fields with almost a handful of snot and tears. But the landlords were not the worst, the worst were the bandits, who lost the basis for development and soon had to go down the mountain and surrender. Even Shen Hongying, the most famous bandit in Guangxi, was arrested after two years of escape, so Bai Chongxi was very careful to run to see this bandit, and slapped him while watching: "Let your kid pretend to be smart ...... me"

Wang Zhenyu organized more than 3,000 enthusiastic young people through the Kuomintang Socialist Party, divided them into 300 task forces, and sent them to various parts of Guangxi to start a vigorous land reform. However, unlike later generations, these teams did not go to fight local tyrants to divide the land. Instead, with the help of agricultural experts, the existing land was jishu planned, and the forest land, cultivated land, and fish pasture land were clarified. Then began to communicate effectively with these landlords, who had become grandsons. The first step is that the government will take back the land in a unified manner and compensate it financially, which is actually to issue a bunch of land bonds, and the cashing period is 15 years later, if Wang Zhenyu's regime can support it until then.

The second step is to sublease the land to the landlords free of charge for 15 years, according to the use of the land, according to the intention of the landlords, and at the end of the term, they are allowed to have the right of first refusal. In doing so, they were encouraged to establish private farms, and tenants were no longer allowed to exist, but all became agricultural workers.

It should be said that there are voices of opposition, and they are still very strong, but in the face of the strong force of the task force and the local security forces, the landlords who have read the book are still very aware of the current affairs. They were forced to support Wang Zhenyu's new agricultural policy from the bottom of their hearts, and Chen Shao and Huang Shaohong, who were in charge of Guangxi's land reform work, admired Wang Zhenyu. Only a strange person like Wang Zhenyu can play such a magic trick, but Dashuai also said that this policy is limited to Guangxi Province and is not universal.

Wang Zhenyu has his own political views on land, and he said in a speech at the Fourth Plenary Session of the First Central Committee of the National Socialist Party: "The current land reform led by the National Socialist Party has three goals, and to achieve which one concretely, we must combine the actual situation of the reform area and the masses of people to strictly prevent the situation of going too far from going too far from the left. As for the goal, first, the farmer's land is the minimum goal; Second, the ideal state is to release the rural population in large numbers, so that these laborers can be freed from the bondage of the land and move into the cities to become industrial workers or whatever; Third, we should respect the personal wishes of the remaining rural population, but we should guide them to readjust and upgrade their agricultural production patterns in terms of funds and policies, engage in large-scale agriculture, and change the original economic structure of small peasants. ”

As for the issue of feudal patriarchy, which existed in almost all rural China, Wang Zhenyu realized that this was also a major reason for restricting rural people from going out. For this reason, Wang Zhenyu made an important speech to 3,000 young party members and cadres at the swearing-in meeting of the Guangxi land reform work team: "Feudal clan power is a product of history, and it is based on family affection, nostalgia and bloodline, and it is by no means something that can be simply eliminated by simple administrative orders and brutal means, so I have four suggestions and requirements for you. First, I hope that you will maintain the most basic respect for this feudal clan; Second, the attitude of the Party and the government is very clear, people are free, and no one has the right to restrict the freedom of others to choose their jobs, and my opinion is that the government should give a certain standard of compensation to clans whose clansmen have opinions about leaving their villages, and if they still oppose it, then hand it over to the security forces and judicial organs to deal with it according to law; Third, the government will not recognize the part of feudal clan rights and conflicts of laws, and all disputes in villages must be unconditionally transferred to the judiciary as long as they involve criminal offenses; Fourthly, we must ensure that the patriarchs of all clans, whether they accept it or not, enjoy the hereditary political status of the county council, and of course not those who disagree with the first three points. ”

A typical slap to a date......

While military reform and land reform were being carried out on a large scale in Wang Zhenyu's jurisdiction, the domestic situation was still stubbornly moving forward along the wheel of history.

On September 28, 1914, Yuan led hundreds of officials to the Confucian Temple to worship Confucius; On December 23, he went to the Temple of Heaven to worship the heavens, wore ancient clothes and crowns, and performed a big worship. Worshipping Confucius is a rehearsal of Yuan's restoration of the imperial system. German, British, American, Japanese and other imperialists also supported Yuan's claim to be emperor. In order to restore the monarchy, the Senate under the control of Yuan Yishou formulated the "Organic Law of the National Congress," which stipulated that the "National Congress" would decide on the "national system," and that each province would step up the election of "deputies" under the supervision of the military and political chiefs, and that the so-called national system voting would be conducted locally.

On the one hand, Yuan Shikai wanted to be the emperor, and the ministers of all the countries, led by the British minister Zhu Erdian, who had been playing the role of the emperor of China, all believed that as long as the interests of various countries in China could be maintained, this matter was fine. After all, because of the European war, many of the great powers can no longer control the situation in China. On the other hand, in mid-1914, the First Shijie War broke out. China's offer that Germany directly return Shandong's rights was denied, and decided to remain neutral. At that time, the United States had turned its attention to Europe, and Britain wanted Japan to become its Far Eastern ally. Japan then declared war on Germany in August and sent troops to occupy the Shandong Peninsula, Germany's Shili range in China. And took the opportunity to occupy most of China's Shandong, regardless of how the Chinese Foreign Ministry protested (the Ministry of Foreign Affairs likes to protest, it turns out that there is a historical tradition!). I just don't leave. In 1915, Japan put forward the unequal "Twenty-one Articles" demand to China, intending to monopolize China's rights and interests.

On January 18, 1915, the Japanese minister Nippon Zhiyi directly made a 21-point request to Yuan Shikai, the president of the Republic of China, and demanded that China keep it absolutely secret. From January to April, Yuan Shikai ordered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to negotiate with Japan, and on the other hand, he secretly and gradually leaked the contents, hoping to obtain the support of Britain and the United States to counter Japan. Chinese negotiators repeatedly rejected parts of the demands, forcing Japan to make concessions. Anti-Japanese sentiment is also emerging in China. Japan, for its part, threatens China with force. By 7 May, the Japanese government had issued an ultimatum to China, with a deadline to reply by 9 days.

Yuan Shikai convened a state council at the highest level, announced his acceptance, and then declared May 9 as the National Shame Day at the same time, so that everyone would not forget the national shame. And all this, Wang Zhenyu has been watching, he has not done anything, and the connection to the electricity has only sent a version against signing with the general flow. At this moment, he is very unkind to choose to wait, waiting for the hearts of the Beiyang people to be lost, waiting for Yuan Shikai to ascend the throne and become the emperor, and bring about his own destruction......
