In such a stunned farce, the only reliable positive angle is actually a god soldier who all parties feel is very unreliable. And just a little bit, the brigade directly under the brigade headquarters is about to be wiped out by these gods who don't seem to have normal heads. It's a pity that it's just a little bit worse, and the heroic and extraordinary divine soldiers haven't had time to expand the results of the battle and completely wipe out the direct brigade. Xu Yuanquan's first regiment had already caught up, so the tide of the battle was completely reversed, the brigade directly under it did not collapse, and the divine soldiers collapsed.

However, even so, the unexpected appearance of the divine soldiers still caused heavy losses to the brigade directly under it, 84 people were killed and more than 120 people were injured, especially the fact that more than 60 of them were disabled for life (missing arms and legs) was very uncomfortable.

Although more than 8,400 prisoners were captured, the loss of the directly subordinate brigade still made Wang Zhenyu unexpected and very unhappy. Today's Wang Zhenyu is no longer the small pipe belt in Hankou, and the result of his rising power is because of Commander Wang's unhappiness, more than 200 bandits and divine soldier leaders were screened out, and then dragged to the gate of Jingzhou City like a dead dog, in front of the prisoners and the people of the city, without trial, all of them were executed, and Huang Jianxiong, who provoked this gang of bandits, was the first to be cut off after being arrested, and his head was hung at the gate of the city. The other captives were all frightened and pale. And the common gentry cheered and cheered, but also had a more comprehensive understanding of Wang Zhenyu, the ruler, and this young general who seemed to be smiling all day long would also kill.

In the following half a month, the amateur bandits in Jingzhou villages made a second choice in life, and after serious discussion, research, and analysis, they still felt that being a good citizen in their duty was more in line with the law of historical development, and was more harmonious and healthy. Because this profession now seems to be less risky than being a bandit, and the future is greater, although it is a little hard and tortuous, but the lesser of two evils is reduced.

So almost overnight, there was not a single bandit on the ground in the entire Jingzhou Mansion. However, after the exaggerated propaganda of the hundreds of bandits who escaped by chance, the bandits in the southeastern region of Guizhou have regarded the Tiger Brigade as a heavenly soldier and a heavenly general, and naturally they do not dare to set foot in Jingzhou Mansion for half a step. During this period, bandits of all sizes in Xiangxi and southeast Guizhou were popular with such a saying: Wang Zhenyu of Jingzhou, Cai Juxian of Hongjiang, if you don't think your life is long, don't go to see it.

In the hearts of the bandits, the name Wang Zhenyu is no different from the living Hades in essence, and even surpasses it.

Although he was heartbroken by the loss of nearly 200 people, Wang Zhenyu was still very grateful to these bandits who did not know whether they were alive or dead.

What we need to do now is to further strengthen our own strength, specifically, to deepen reform.

Breaking the original social power structure, winning more supporters for himself, and expanding his ruling base, there is no essential difference between Wang Zhenyu and any ** person in history.

But success is not easy to say, and it is even more so for Wang Zhenyu, who is extremely miserable in later generations.

In order to deal with those unreliable old officials, in order to gain the strong support of merchants and local clans shili and minority leaders, Wang Zhenyu chose to abandon the Confucian group of scholars, which was already doomed to decline, and handed over the power of local civil affairs to merchants, clans, and heads. Of course, Wang Zhenyu is not a fool, the basis of all rule is still firmly in his own hands, and the independence of the judicial system is also regarded by him as a treasure to restrain the local snakes.

Of course, the most important point is the current political climate in the country. You must know that those who are willing to return to the government to the people, throughout the ages, are Wang Zhenyu's family. This epoch-making political system is entirely based on Wang Zhenyu's personal will, in other words, if Wang Zhenyu loses the civil war or dies unexpectedly, this political system will be immediately swallowed up by the current mainstream system due to historical inertia. Therefore, the so-called county people governing the county, the so-called returning the government to the people, is actually an opium, the businessmen who have tasted the sweetness of power, the clan shili, and the heads of ethnic minorities have no choice but to do their best to support Wang Zhenyu. Otherwise, the land allocated to them by Wang Zhenyu would be violently recovered.

In this way, the merchants naturally had to fight for their own land, like the peasants, for the "land" that belonged to the merchants......

Wang Zhenyu sat quietly in his study, the confetti on the floor was full of bold words, and if you looked closely, you could see the words "army", "politics", "industry", "officer" and so on. If you want to change the wheel of history, you have too much to do.

He felt that his mind was a little messy, and many things were complicated, and he thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure out a complete idea.

There is no doubt that his shili is indeed growing step by step, but the things to worry about are not reduced, but more.

Wang Zhenyu will also be afraid, afraid that one day he will be overthrown by his subordinates, afraid that one day he will be wiped out by the enemy, and even more afraid that he will be beaten back to his original form, and spend his life in vain. As for whether the tragedy in history will happen again, Wang Zhenyu is not worried, in his opinion, as long as he succeeds, the trajectory of the wheel of history will definitely be changed.

I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, there's a fart! When Wang Zhenyu was extremely distressed, he suddenly thought of a very philosophical word: "Live in the moment." ”

Yes, living in the present, since you don't know what tomorrow will bring, why worry about tomorrow, it is most practical to take the step in front of you.

I have to say that Wang Zhenyu is really a master of psychological self-regulation, and he put aside the troubles in his heart so simply.

What do I need most now?

Since it has been decided to base itself on the present, it will naturally not be a major event to think about how to go to the Central Plains of Zhuolu and compete for dominance in the world. But no matter what you think or how you think, the most important thing to do is actually one thing to enhance your own strength.

Iron is still hard, and exquisite strategies are inseparable from strong strength, Wang Zhenyu understands these truths.

So the key question now is, how to enhance our own strength? Or rather, what should be the first step?

For this reason, Wang Zhenyu invited three people, the first person is his God of Wealth Ye Zuwen, the letter was sent a month ago, but Ye Zuwen was delayed yesterday because of some things and took his eldest son Guoxuan to Jingzhou City, but this was enough to make Wang Zhenyu happy for a while; The second is actually two people: Xu Yuanquan and Wan Yaohuang, these two people are the most strategic in the current army, and they are naturally the two people that Wang Zhenyu relies on the most; The third person is a strange person recommended by Chen Hongji, this person's surname is Chen Mingshao, Hanchuan, Changsha people's family, the ancestor is the Chen family of Yingchuan County in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and has always been a scholarly family, after more than 1,000 years, there are still endless heirs, and the style is undefeated. This Chen Shao is not very old, twenty-five years old, but his knowledge is not low, he is a disciple of Changsha Wangmen.

There is no record of the royal gate in the history textbooks of later generations, so that many people regard the royal gate as a royal study, that is, the mental study of Wang Shouren and Wang Yangming.

In fact, the so-called Wang Men refers to an old gentleman in the modern history of Hunan, Wang Minyun.

Wang Minyun (1833-1916) was a scholar and writer in the late Qing Dynasty. The word Renqiu, also known as the father, the number Xiangqi, the world is known as Mr. Xiangqi.

This person has not been able to occupy too many roles in recent history, but he has been in almost all of them.

Do you know the Empress Dowager Cixi, do you know how this Lafayette came to power? Xinyou coup, when the Empress Dowager Xi colluded with Prince Gong and other princes, launched a coup d'état, and killed eight auxiliary ministers including Sushun, and our old master Wang Minyun was working as a tutor in Sushun Mansion at that time.

The boss fell, it didn't matter, Wang Minyun entered the curtain of Zeng Guofan again, helping the counselor in military affairs.

After that, Wang Minyun began to teach and educate people and write the great work of history.

Let's talk about history books first, there are two most influential books of Wang Minyun's old master, one is "The Story of Qixiang", which details the truth of the Xinyou coup, and the other is "The Chronicles of the Hunan Army", which details the history of the Hunan army. The former offended Cixi by defending Su Shun, and the latter offended Zeng Guofan by truthfully recording the defeats and bad deeds of the Hunan army. However, this little old man seems to have some doorways, and he can actually do it without getting wet in the rain and retreat with his whole body, so he can't help but say that he is a strange person.

Let's talk about teaching and educating people, then the achievement is even greater, do you know the six gentlemen of Wuxu? Yang Rui and Liu Guangdi in this are the students of this old master Wang.

Other more famous disciples include Yang Du, Xia Shoutian, Qi Baishi and many others.

At the same time, this old master has been teaching students for decades, and has presided over Changsha Sixian Lecture Hall and Hengzhou Chuanshan Academy. He hosted the Nanchang Higher Education Hall and also lectured and taught apprentices in Xiangqi Building. There are thousands of disciples before and after, and he has the reputation of being a protégé all over the world.

Wang Minyun's reputation is not much to say, after all, the identity of the master of scripture is there, but there is another specialty that not many people know, that is, the emperor's mind, which is an ancient discipline.

It doesn't matter what it is, the important thing is that Wang Minyun's mastery has been passed on to three people, Yang Du, Xia Shoutian, and the current Chen Shao.

Chen Shao is Wang Minyun's only closed disciple, and the specific reason is unclear. But when Wang Zhenyu saw the stout figure of this benevolent brother of 1.8 meters, he really couldn't connect Chen Shao with the identity of the disciple of the famous Wang Sect in Sanxiang.

If it weren't for the fact that this benevolent brother has thick eyebrows and big eyes, bright eyes and bright teeth, and is full of talent, Wang Zhenyu would have been referred to by Cheng Kuian, a famous gangster actor in Hong Kong in later generations.

No one doesn't like handsome young men, and even Wang Minyun can't be exempt from vulgarity, so he chose such a closed-door disciple.

As for Chen Shaoweishenme appearing in such a remote place as Xiangxi, it has something to do with Wang Zhenyu.

Chen Shao's father, like Yang Du, was a soldier of the Hunan Army, but in Chen Shao's generation, the family was already well-off, so the elders hoped that Chen Shao would follow the literature.

But Chen Shao's blood flows the soul of a soldier, so although he was forcibly arranged to study the track, he still did not forget the dream of throwing pen to paper and making contributions.

Coming out of Wang Minyun's door, he was originally Jihua like his senior brother Yang Du and others to go to the Beijing government to serve. But at this time, Wang Zhenyu created a rebellion in Changsha and defeated the first division with a brigade. Coupled with the previous legend about the Tiger Brigade, Chen Shao's dream of being a soldier back then was ready to move again.

But after all, he is not the ambitious He Jian, he is a closed disciple of the royal family, and he can't do that kind of self-recommended price-dropping thing. Therefore, he only followed Jingzhou, but he never had any effect, but only observed in secret.

It wasn't until Wang Zhenyu ordered reforms and introduced the parliamentary system as the first step. Chen Shaocai made up his mind, because he carefully studied Wang Zhenyu's policy and found that this was completely a bureau, an overall situation that led the world's heroes to join the shares. Wang Zhenyu's vision and courage impressed Chen Shao, who was also young.

It just so happens that Chen Hongji, the speaker of the Jingzhou Assembly and the president of the Chamber of Commerce, who has been very popular in front of Wang Zhenyu recently, is still a little related to Chen Shao. Don't look at Chen Hongji as a native of Baoqing Mansion, but in fact he is also from Changsha, but his father moved from Changsha to Baoqing to do business, and Chen Hongji was born in Shaodong. Therefore, Chen Hongji's house happened to be separated from Chen Shao's family, and when it comes to kinship, Chen Shao still has to call Chen Hongji a clan brother.

With this relationship, Chen Hongji naturally strongly recommended his clan brother to Wang Zhenyu.

Wang Zhenyu now relies on Chen Hongji very much, so it is naturally difficult to refuse this kind of relation, so he naturally agrees generously.

So the Tiger Brigade led by Wang Zhenyu had the first real military division, although Wang Zhenyu didn't think so at that time. At first, his definition of Chen Shao was just a mixed job, and it wasn't until Chen Shao formulated a complete reform roadmap that he was impressed by this person, talent!

There is nothing new about Chen Shao's reform roadmap, which is based on Wang Zhenyu's ideas, but the content is very thorough, and many places have been repeatedly scrutinized and revised. How difficult this is, Wang Zhenyu is very clear after being the boss for more than half a year, so that the talent who can do the specific work is a real talent.

I can actually pick up such a treasure, I can't help but say that it is a kind of luck, God is not thin on himself, Wang Zhenyu couldn't help but think of it with gratitude......
