At the beginning of 1886, the emperor returned to his hometown with his queen and concubine, and the dragon returned to the sea, and Shixing also.

——"History of the Chinese Kingdom"

"Woo......"

As the long train whistle at Majiapu Main Railway Station sounded, Wang Bo left the capital for Guangdong with his two newly married wives, Li Jingxuan and Li Jingjie.

A few days later, a row of young men dressed in brown and green clothes appeared at the Guangzhou Railway Station, all of them were armed with guns and ammunition, standing with their heads held high like javelins, which was the new army that was now being vigorously transformed by the Huai Army.

A group of Manchu officials also stood in the train station, they were not talking to each other, and the crowd was silent, as if waiting for some important person to arrive.

The train station was full of people watching the bustle, all looking at the rows of soldiers in awe, with doubts, disdain, doubts, shocks, excitement and other reactions in their eyes.

With the sound of a train whistle, the group of Manchu officials looked solemn and stood with their hands down, today is the day when Wang Bo, the son-in-law of Li Hongzhang, the most powerful Zhongtang lord in the Qing Dynasty, came to Guangdong with his wife and concubine.

This young man named Wang Bo is not only the son-in-law of Lord Zhongtang, but also the superintendent of the army and navy in Guangdong.

All the officials were thinking about what kind of personality the upcoming Lord Qincha would be, what his hobbies were, and how he could get in touch with him, and hug the thick thighs of the Huai faction, so that his future official road would be prosperous and smooth sailing.

The train slowly stopped at the station, only to see a young man in a strange costume and a strange hat obliquely jumped off the train, and the officials couldn't help but be stunned, looking at each other, could it be that this strange young man was the newly arrived Lord Qincha Supervisor?

After the young man jumped off the train, he turned around and stretched out a hand, and the train also stretched out his hand and put it on the train.

But the young man reminded, "Be careful, the steps are a bit high." ”

"Hmm." A soft girl's voice sounded, and then a gentle and pretty girl appeared from the train, and everyone who saw it felt that their eyes were bright, what a peugeot and elegant girl!

This man and woman are the newlywed young couple Wang Bo and Li Jingxuan!

Wang Bo was wearing the uniform of an army instructor, and his other hand suddenly stretched out, hugging Li Jingxuan's small waist with a whoosh. Li Jingxuan couldn't help but let out a low cry of "ah", her pretty face turned red, and her heart was shy and sweet, so she was hugged to the ground.

She subconsciously looked up and looked around, and found that there were so many people at the scene, and she was even more shy, and said hurriedly: "Husband...... Let go of me, a lot of people are looking at ......"

Wang Bo smiled: "Don't be afraid, you just treat them as transparent......"

"Hey! And me! Li Jingjie stood at the door of the train and stood cross-legged, glaring at the two of them angrily.

Wang Bo glanced at him and said lightly: "You are alive, come down by yourself." ”

Li Jingjie was furious, "Dead disciples!" Just know to bully me! Don't think I'll do that for you again like I did last night, it's disgusting, I've gargled my mouth several times, and I still feel a fishy smell in my mouth! ”

Wang Bo Khan, this eldest lady is really open-mouthed, can this matter be said in public?

Li Jingxuan asked strangely, "Jie'er, what did you do last night?" ”

Wang Bo hurriedly said: "Let's talk about this after we leave here!" Come on, come on, I'm scared of you! He opened his hands to carry Li Jingjie off the train.

Li Jingjie glared and said, "Get out of the way!" I can go down on my own! I don't need you to fake your kindness! With that, he jumped off the train with a slight leap.

But I heard a familiar voice behind me: "Meet the Lord of the Governor!" ”

The officials hurriedly saluted and shouted, "Meet the Governor of the Imperial Mission!" ”

Wang Bo turned to look at it, his face was overjoyed, and said, "Brother Tang! ”

The first person to speak was Tang Renlian!

Wang Bo quickly stepped forward to help him up, and asked the officials behind him to excuse him, and then said happily: "Brother Tang, our brothers have finally met again!" He turned to Li Jingxuan and Li Jingjie and shouted, "Ju Couple, Jie'er, come here!" ”

"Brother Tang, these are my two wives, Li Jingxuan and Li Jingjie. Ju couple, Jie'er, this is Tang Renlian, the commander of the Guangdong Navy Division. In the past, thanks to the help of Brother Tang, I have today's status. ”

Tang Renlian hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, the adult has an overreputation." I've seen two ladies! ”

Wang Bo said: "Brother Tang, we said that good brothers are commensurate, but we haven't seen each other for so long, is it really a part?" What kind of adult, lady, didn't you slap me in the face? They're all your siblings! Ju Couple, Jie'er came, I have seen Brother Tang! ”

Li Jingxuan and Li Jingjie stepped forward and said, "I've seen Brother Tang!" ”

Tang Renlian was moved in his heart, Wang Bo is now in a high position, and he is the son-in-law of Lord Zhongtang, and he still treats him as he did at the beginning, which is really commendable.

He eased his excited heart, and said: "Public is public, private is private, and etiquette cannot be abolished!" Thank you for your understanding! ”

Wang Bo was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Tang Renlian meant, those who are outside must distinguish between public and private, and etiquette must not be abolished, and when they go to a place where no one is or in a private home, the relationship between the two is still the same.

He thought to himself, "This is a clear man who understands his heart. No wonder he, as the general of the Hunan army, can still sit in the position of commander in the Huai army! ”

Wang Bo said: "It's me who lost my temper!" ”

Tang Renlian didn't even dare to say it, and then said that Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Liangguang, was waiting in the governor's palace.

Wang Bo nodded, and asked Tang Renlian and the other officials to wait for a while, he had to go and see the soldiers who greeted him first.

These were all soldiers who came to Guangdong half a year earlier than him, and they were all brought over by Pu Shisheng, Xu Kunda, Kong Liangdong and others.

As soon as I walked over, I suddenly heard a voice: "Salute!" ”

"Wow!" "Huh!"

A uniform military salute! Majestic and imposing!

All the soldiers are watching their commander!

Wang Bo raised his hand and saluted, and the soldiers in the front row walked over slowly, then stood in front of the team, and said, "Take a break!" Hello soldiers! ”

"Hello Chief!"

In the chorus of bells, the entire railway station reverberated in a burst, and the surrounding officials and ordinary people were all shocked. All of them are full of spirit, completely different from the officers and soldiers they have seen before, it is simply one heaven and one earth!

"Thank you soldiers for braving the cold to greet me, I feel your heart, thank you for your hard work!"

"Lives for the chief! Serve! ”

Wang Bo saluted and said, "All go back to the camp!" ”

"Yes, Chief!"

A voice in the team shouted, "All of them!" Turn left! March! ”

In the shocked eyes of everyone at the train station, the soldiers lined up neatly, and their footsteps made a "click" sound in unison, and slowly left the train station.

Wang Bo deliberately made his soldiers appear in front of the public in a high-profile manner, believing that after this brief scene, his Wang Bo's name and his soldiers would slowly spread, so as to announce that Wang Bo was going to show his strength in Guangdong.

Pu Shisheng had already done everything in Guangzhou, and Wang Bo asked a team of guards to escort Li Jingxuan and Li Jingjie to their residences, and then went with Tang Renlian and other Manchu officials to meet Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Liangguang.

The two sides had a friendly and cordial meeting, looked forward to the future development plan of Guangdong, explained their main policies to each other, expressed their friendly attitude of mutual assistance and mutual assistance, and made due obligations and responsibilities for the joint construction of river crab Guangdong.

After that, Wang Bo began to drastically integrate the army and navy in Guangdong, and launched a series of large-scale military training policies. It also recruited manpower, established a construction corps, and vigorously developed infrastructure.

If you want to get rich, build roads first. With roads extending in all directions, it can not only promote the operation of people's livelihood and commerce, but also speed up the deployment of the army.

At the same time, he slowly shrank all his commerce back into the territory of Guangdong, built industry, established technical schools, developed education, and raised the cultural level of the people.

Most of the shareholders in his business group are Guangdong businessmen, and since they have been doing business with him, everyone has made a lot of money, and as long as there is money to be made, everyone will support Wang Bo's decision.

These merchants are united, and they are also natives of Guangdong, and their power is intertwined and deep-rooted, and they also have Huang Feihong, a grandmaster who is highly respected by the common people, to help them. Huang Feihong has been appointed by Wang **** as a martial arts instructor in the army, and the brothers naturally help each other, which is a huge force, so that Wang Bo's various measures can be implemented smoothly and slowly.

Of course, there were also many objections during the period, but Wang Bo and his team of think tanks had already anticipated the emergence of resistance, and the more stubborn ones were suppressed by thunderous means, and the rest of the wall factions that were still under consideration let time prove that when the time came, they would inevitably regret why they did not join as soon as possible, so as to miss the best stage of development.

Some feudal and conservative squires and Manchu Eight Banner officials, who could not bear the encroachment of their own interests, united and used their own connections to report to the Manchu court, saying that Wang Bo was a heinous and unforgivable person, which made the people angry and resentful in Guangdong, just like purgatory on earth, and their crimes are too numerous to mention, anyway, how serious they are.

Li Hongzhang once sent a letter to advise Wang Bo to be more restrained and not to be too radical. Moreover, along with it, there is also the holy decree, which is a punishment such as a punishment.

For these, Wang Bo either violated the yin and yang, or ignored them, and still went his own way, what should I do or what to do.

However, he felt strange that many of his behaviors in officialdom were transgressions, why did Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Liangguang, not see any reaction?

Not only that, but many times, Zhang Zhidong also expressed his support, gave the green light all the way, and saved Wang Bo a lot of trouble.

He didn't know much about the ways of officialdom, so he asked his professionals to secretly pay attention to every move of the Governor's Palace, and only concentrate on building his own base, and build a solid foundation so that the future edifice could be indestructible. (To be continued.) )
