When Yang Yongtai heard that Zhang Zhenfang was going to pacify the Bailang bandits, his heart suddenly settled down, and he asked with a smile: "After the reform of the military system, the Henan Provincial Army was organized into a division and a brigade, with a total of 15,000 people in three brigades, stationed in eastern Henan, northern Henan, and southern Henan. In addition, the Second Mixed Brigade of the Central Committee was stationed in Nanyang, and the three regiments and one battalion of the Zhensong Army totaled more than 3,000 people, stationed in 22 counties in western Henan, to which Luoyang, Shaanzhou, and Ruzhou belonged, as well as local armed forces reorganized from the former Qing patrol battalion. Now there are no less than 30,000 troops in the province, and most of them are well-trained and well-armed Beiyang descendants, if they really want to exterminate the Bailang bandits, they are afraid that it will be effortless, right? ”

Lin Boxiang nodded: "The Bailang bandits are alone, and they are difficult to compare with the twisted bandits of the year, and the Beiyang Army is far superior to the Hunan Army and the Huai Army of that year, and it is naturally easy to exterminate them." But what is worth worrying about now is not when, but how. If the Beiyang Army is determined to beggar-thy-neighbor and drive the tiger and devour the wolf, then Mr. Sun should be careful! ”

Sun Yuanqi, who was walking in front, heard the word "Mr. Sun" and subconsciously turned his head: "Principal Boxiang, do you have any advice?" ”

Yang Yongtai hurriedly told Sun Yuanqi what Lin Boxiang was worried about: "Principal Boxiang thinks that Zhang Xin'an may use the strategy of beggar-thy-neighbor and driving tigers and wolves to drive Bai Lang's bandits to neighboring provinces. As you know, my lord, the Bailang bandit army is now in western Henan, and it is Shanxi to cross the Yellow River to the north, Shanxi to cross the Tongguan Pass to the west, and Xiangyang and Yunyang in Hubei to the south. ”

"Principal Lao Boxiang reminded that Sun will definitely order the provinces of Jin and Shaanxi to guard the door and not let the bandits have a chance!"

Sun Yuanqi had not seen Bai Lang's name in the history textbooks of his previous life, so he didn't pay much attention to him, and focused more on the follow-up actions of the Beiyang Army. Strictly prevent them from taking advantage of the fire to rob. Yang Yongtai and Lin Boxiang's worries are roughly the same. But in real history, the "Bailang Uprising" was a major event worthy of writing in the early years of the Republic of China.

First of all, because it's huge. This rebellion began in October of the third year of Xuantong (1911) and lasted for three and a half years in July of the fourth year of the Republic of China, when Bai Lang died in battle, and it got rid of the encirclement and suppression of the Beiyang elite soldiers several times. During this period, he fought in Henan, Anhui, Hubei, Shanxi, and Gansu provinces, conquered more than 50 cities, and was almost invincible.

The second is that it has far-reaching implications. Zhang Zhenfang, the governor of Henan, and Zhao Wei, the protector of the army, were dismissed by Yuan Shikai because of the unfavorable encirclement and suppression, and Duan Qirui, the chief of the army, was appointed as the acting governor of Henan, stationed in Kaifeng. He commanded more than 20,000 regular troops in Hubei, Henan, and Anhui provinces to suppress the Bailang army. The great momentum of Bai Lang's army also attracted the attention of the Kuomintang, and the commander-in-chief of Jiangsu's army against Yuan wrote a letter to send someone to contact Bai Lang, asking for cooperation in courting Yuan; Sun Yat-sen also wrote letters to Bai Lang to contact him, and many revolutionaries were ordered by Sun Yat-sen to plan to support Bai Lang's army with arms. It is said that Shen staff officers sent by Sun Yat-sen even suggested that Bai Lang seize Sichuan as an anti-Yuan base area, but later retreated halfway due to the obstruction of the Sichuan and Shaanxi troops.

Of course. The influence of the Bai Lang Army is not only at home, but also overseas. Because in the process of conquering the city, the Bai Lang army would often burn down churches and beat missionaries, which caused the envoys of various countries to be very dissatisfied with the Bai Lang army, and constantly exerted pressure on the Yuan Shikai government to quickly suppress the Bai Lang army. They not only gave Yuan Shikai advice and formulated a strategy to suppress bandits. The British and Russian embassies also sent military attachés to the front line to watch the battle, declaring that they would send troops to intervene militarily.

But around October 1912, almost no one would have thought that Bai Langjun would be so beautiful in the future, so everyone, including Zhang Zhenfang, the governor of Henan, was a little careless about it.

Sun Yuanqi asked Yang Yongtai: "Changqing, this time the reorganization of the Henan Provincial Party Committee is quite smooth, right?" Henan is the hinterland of the Central Plains and is of great significance. In addition to the 10 senators in this congressional election, the number of deputies in Henan Province has reached 32, second only to Zhili, Jiangsu, Sichuan and other provinces, and the influence is still higher than that of Guangdong, Hunan, Hubei and other provinces. I wonder if our New China Party can make some gains here? ”

Yang Yongtai said: "Lai Boxiang, Yan Zhai (Li Shican) and other brothers and seniors helped. The reshuffle went very smoothly. Regarding the upcoming congressional election, Mr. Yan Zhai, the new chairman of the Hunan Provincial Party Committee, said that he would strive for at least one or two senatorial seats, and more than five congressmen. According to everyone's calculations, it should not be a big problem. ”

Sun Yuanqi said: "My hope for the Henan Provincial Party Committee is to make a breakthrough in the seats of the Senate and the House of Representatives, and if there is a greater gain." The more the merrier; If you can't open the situation for a while, you don't have to be impetuous, after all, Henan is like this. Moreover, we did not build our party to govern for the purpose of this congressional election, but to have our own grander and higher pursuits. Therefore, we should not go to extremes for the sake of a little immediate interests and affect the long-term development of our party in the future. ”

Yang Yongtai, Lin Boxiang and others all bowed down and replied, "We understand." ”

Sun Yuan smiled and said: "You don't have to be so restrained, if there are any problems that are difficult to solve in the election campaign, you might as well tell me clearly." Now I'm just an idler, maybe a little thin, and I'm the best fit for everyone. ”

Lin Boxiang also smiled and said, "How dare we work for Mr. Sun?" As for the campaign, as long as Mr. Sun travels around the country and makes a few more speeches, the votes will naturally be cast, so what is the problem? ”

Yang Yongtai said: "If Lord Sun wants to canvass votes, why should Brother Boxiang be so troublesome? As long as Mr. Sun writes an article to argue that voting for the candidate of the New China Party in this congressional election is the most scientific choice, and then sends it to the journal "Science" or "Nature", to ensure that the vast majority of readers in the country will seriously consider this conclusion when voting! ”

The crowd laughed unconsciously.

Yang Yongtai said again: "Don't believe it, now Master Sun is completely in the scientific community in Europe and the United States, even if he says that the moon is square, it is estimated that a large number of scholars will have to stare at the moon with binoculars for half a month!" I remember a few days ago in Beijing, a reporter from a British scientific magazine came to visit Mr. Sun and asked him to help him come up with the ten greatest formulas in the world of all time. Those formulas are naturally incomprehensible, but according to the reporter, before that, the Royal Society of England pre-selected twenty alternative formulas, of which four or five were created by Lord Sun, the most among all scientists throughout the ages.

"At that time, Master Sun was busy, so he took out a pencil and sketched on the paper for a moment, and then said to the reporter: 'The so-called great formula lies not only in its own subtlety and wisdom, but also in its ability to embody the beauty of science and the dignity of human beings. The formulas you have chosen, while subtle and intelligent, are not sufficient to reflect the human understanding of nature and science. I'll give you a few more! As he spoke, Mr. Sun wrote three formulas on the back of the paper that were so simple that he had seen them before, one was 1+1=2, one was the Pythagorean theorem, and the other was the formula for the circumference of a circle, and then handed them back to the reporter.

"And guess what? The reporter pondered for a moment, and immediately admired Master Sun. A few days later, the magazine sent a sample issue, and on the cover it was written "Professor Sun's Handwritten Choice: The Ten Greatest Formulas of All Time", and the three formulas handwritten by Master Sun were all on the list. Think about it, Master Sun casually wrote a 1+1=2 and they are all like a treasure, if you write a long exposition to prove the rationality and legitimacy of the New China Party, then it will not be the attention of the whole world? ”

Yang Yongtai's remarks were naturally a joke, and as a scribe who studied law and politics, he may not understand the rich meaning contained in 1+1=2. And he didn't know that among the ten formulas selected, there were three of them that Sun Yuanqi had his own, and if they were placed in later generations, those three formulas should be called the mass-energy equation, the Schrödinger equation, and the de Broglie equation respectively.

The selection of these three formulas is not Sun Yuanqi's boasting, but out of the respect of the three great gods Einstein, Schrödinger, and de Broglie, and it is not possible to affect the greatness of these three formulas and the outstanding contributions made by the three scientists in creating these formulas because of their own attacks. And these three formulas do deserve the title of "the greatest of all time", as evidenced by the results published in British magazines.

Of course, Yang Yongtai's words also touched Sun Yuanqi a little, that is, he has indeed distanced himself from the scientific community after being in politics for so many years. During this period, famous scientists at home and abroad, such as Rutherford, Martin, Tesla, and Einstein, also persuaded themselves, either explicitly or implicitly, hoping that they could devote more energy to scientific research instead of wasting their energy in the deceit of officialdom. Sun Yuanqi also feels that the academic circle is far simpler and more exciting than officialdom, and it is also more suitable for his own development. But Sun Yuanqi has never regretted his dedication to officialdom, because he has seen with his own eyes that through his efforts in officialdom, he has changed the fate of the students and countless children around him. While this change may not be for the better, it will never be worse!

Now that I am finally idle, I should no longer continue to live up to the expectations of making friends, maybe it is time for the scientific community around the world to be shocked again, and completely change the negative impact on myself such as "not doing my job" and "Jiang Lang's talent"!

Although the act of plagiarizing other people's academic achievements is very inauthentic, in this world, those famous scientists in later generations have not yet appeared, and Sun Yuanqi may be able to argue a few words like Kong Yiji: "Stealing books cannot be regarded as stealing...... Steal books! …… Can the things of the reader be regarded as stealing? "What's more, this kind of raid can also shorten the course of human development and promote China's academic development? Even if he was infamous as a "copyist", Sun Yuanqi recognized it.
