Chapter 4 The fourth chapter is for the boss to go to Beijing to meet the emperor

A world-shattering revolution made the small town of Wuchang a famous resort all over the world.Her sister towns Hankou and Hanyang became famous at the same time.As a result, the three towns of Wuhan have become places that are related to China's destiny. Wuhan, located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, is the intersection of the Yangtze River and the Han River. It is known as the "thoroughfare of nine provinces". The completion of the Beijing-Han Railway and the vigorous construction of the Guangdong-Han Railway have made it a hub for water and land transportation in the hinterland of China.Politicians and military strategists who compete for the world all keep their eyes fixed on this place.

Wang Zhanyuan moved to Xinyang in the summer of 1913. He first suppressed the "Second Revolution" and later became a full-time general to suppress bandits in southern Henan. He was appointed "Commander-in-Chief of Bandits in Southern Henan".He made great contributions to suppressing the Bailang uprising army. In April 1914, he served as the Deputy Military Affairs Office of Hubei Province and moved the army from Xinyang to Wuhan.For Wuhan, Wang Zhanyuan has long admired it and is no stranger to it.During the Wuchang Uprising, Wang Zhanyuan’s Third Association was incorporated into the First Army, and was ordered by the Qing government to come to Wuhan to suppress it. Under the command of Feng Guozhang, Hankou was captured from the revolutionary army on the 17th day after the Wuchang Uprising (that is, October 27). , Zongbing burned, killed and looted, extremely cruel. In November, Hanyang was captured again, leaving the revolutionary army alone in Wuchang and in a difficult situation.Wang Zhanyuan was rewarded by the Qing government for his "military exploits" and was promoted to the commander of the second town. Later, he was reorganized as the commander of the second division and stationed in Baoding and Yongping.This time stationed in Hubei, Wang Zhanyuan was ambitious and wanted to climb higher.However, after all, he has an empty stomach, and he only knows how to raise horses, raise flags, and the courage of a man.Now that he has become a military deputy of a province, he needs someone to advise him even more.This person is Sun Chuanfang.

After Wang Zhanyuan took Sun Chuanfang to live in Wuhan, the two came to the secret room and discussed plans to support the situation. "Xinyuan, we finally have our own territory. The next thing is to defend this territory and expand it. I have a few words in my heart that I think I should explain to you. Can you listen to me?" Sun Chuanfang said without thinking: "Mr. Wang, why are you saying this? Who are you and who am I? When did you stop listening to your words?" Wang Zhanyuan shook his head, nodded again and said, "Yes, regardless of each other, I also plan for the long-term. It seems that we will be in Hubei for a few years. How about we have an ideal future? If it’s not good, it might be squeezed out by others.” Wang Zhanyuan was a little sad when he said this. "I -- that's all. I'm 60 years old in a blink of an eye. I'm just thinking of you. You're only 30 years old. As the old saying goes, 'you stand at thirty'. I have to let you stand up. Well done! In a word: Hubei must belong to you, Sun Xinyuan. Once you have Hubei, you can fly outwards and fly three thousand miles with one wing!"

Wang Zhanyuan's words were heavy, reasonable and sentimental, and Sun Chuanfang could hear them deeply.Very touched. "Don't look at Wang Zichun as an old man, he has a lot of human touch!" At first, Sun Chuanfang only regarded Wang Zhanyuan as a "boss", a person who could control him. He stood one level higher than him, and sometimes looked at him. It is just a procedure and a ladder formula, but he does not admire him for anything - including character and intelligence -; moreover, from the bottom of his heart, Sun Chuanfang conceals his contempt for him.Now, in the years we have shared together, Sun Chuanfang has risen again and again, and Wang Zhanyuan's trust in him has continued to increase; especially after entering Hubei, these heartfelt words have changed Sun Chuanfang's inherent emotions; he feels that Wang Zhanyuan is so simple and honest , treat people so sincerely and so selflessly, just like a kind old grandmother!

"Mr. Wang," Sun Chuanfang also pulled out his heart, "Chuanfang said something vulgar, before the age of 25, my body and heart belonged to my parents; Li. What are you going to do in the future, just say, I will go to Tangtaohuo!" "Aren't you wrong?" Wang Zhanyuan said honestly: "I said earlier, whether it is the second town or the second division , You are the backbone. What to do in the future is up to you. I am a baton, and the baton is in your hands.” He also said: “You are such a knowledgeable person. If you don’t make suggestions, let me be rough We hacked here and there, but not all of them are cut to pieces! Let’s talk about ‘home’ behind closed doors, and about Hubei’s military affairs. From now on, we will cooperate with each other.”

"This... this... I'm afraid I can't do it?" Sun Chuanfang didn't dare to overstep his power. Among the warlords he came into contact with, nine out of ten were overconfident and felt that they could do everything. Who would admit that they couldn't? Wang Zhanyuan was so frank, it really was Really, it can be regarded as enlightened.But Sun Chuanfang had no bottom in her mind. Wang Zhanyuan frowned suddenly, pondered for a moment, and said: "Xin Yuan, I understand. You feel that your status is hindered, and you are afraid that your words will have no weight. Don't be afraid, I will report to the Ministry of Army tomorrow and promote you to be the commander of the mixed brigade. .”

"Mr. Wang, no, no..." Sun Chuanfang hurriedly explained. "Don't talk about it anymore," Wang Zhanyuan said: "I will definitely do what I should do. From now on, you can just relax and make suggestions!" The Battle of Wuchang in 1911 completely shook the corrupt rule of the Qing Dynasty.After the Wuchang Uprising, all provinces responded one after another.On December 29 of that year, the "National Assembly" held in Nanjing, attended by representatives of 17 provinces, elected Sun Yat-sen as the interim president of the Republic of China.Only 46 days later, on February 13, 1912, Sun Yat-sen's interim president resigned because of a compromise with Yuan Shikai.From then on, Yuan Shikai became the ruler of China——Yuan Shikai was the founder of the Beiyang Army. It was with the powerful Beiyang Army in his hands that he coerced the Qing Emperor to abdicate and forced Sun Yat-sen to abdicate power.Therefore, China actually entered the period of Beiyang warlord rule.

Yuan Shikai started his career by relying on the Beiyang Army, and after he started, he focused on developing and strengthening the Beiyang Army.At this moment, Wang Zhanyuan sent Sun Chuanfang's "promotion" report to Beijing.Yuan Shikai saw that it was Sun Chuanfang, the hero who wiped out the Bailang Army, and immediately approved the report of "promotion to the commander of the 21st Mixed Brigade".Soon, Sun Chuanfang was awarded the rank of Major General of the Army. When he was promoted to major general, Sun Chuanfang was just 32 years old. Although his figure was still majestic, his round face was still childish.Such a young man was promoted to the rank of major general, which is rare in Yuan Shikai's Beiyang Army system.Therefore, Sun Chuanfang suddenly became a leader in the Beiyang Army.Sun Chuanfang is proud, his back is straight, his face is raised, and he walks vigorously! The image of a soldier who was taught at the Tokyo Non-commissioned Officer Academy in Japan is fully displayed at this moment.

Sun Chuanfang's entry into the ranks of generals undoubtedly added wings to Wang Zhanyuan, a fierce tiger.This was his recommendation. Sun Chuanfang was originally his confidant. With the title of major general, he can do more things for him.On the day of the promotion order to Hubei, Wang Zhanyuan held a grand celebration meeting, personally put on the major general's uniform for Sun Chuanfang, and said a lot of words of praise, and then left him in the Military Affairs Assistant Office, and the two talked in secret again. "Xinyuan," Wang Zhanyuan said straight to the point, "now you are a major general, you can stretch your waist to do it. Hubei is a place where you can use your strength, let's do it!"

"Thank you for the promotion of Wang Dujun." Sun Chuanfang said: "Follow Wang Dujun and go to the world of Hubei!"——When Sun Chuanfang was promoted, Wang Zhanyuan had already been promoted, from General Zhuangwu to General Xiangwu, and he was officially appointed as supervisor Hubei Military Affairs.Wang Zhanyuan’s rapid prosperity was due to his meritorious service in protecting Yuan. When Yuan Shikai wanted to be the emperor of China but did not dare to be bold, Wang Zhanyuan listed Duan Zhigui and others “persuading him to enter the power” to persuade him to be quick; Set up a line of defense in Hubei and serve Yuan allegiance to the end. In October 1915, Yuan Shikai awarded Wang Zhanyuan the title of General Zhuangwu, and two months later he was awarded the title of General Xiangwu to supervise the military affairs of Hubei.Therefore, Wang said that "Hubei is a land of use."To put it bluntly, it was not the soil of Hubei that gave him the favorable conditions for Tengda!

However, the fury against Yuan's proclaiming himself emperor was still raging in the country.Sure enough, Yuan Shikai failed to proclaim himself emperor and became a sinner. Aren't they helpless and helpless? So, he still asked Sun Chuanfang to "stretch his waist and do it" and "do a big job". Regarding Sun Chuanfang's loyalty, Wang Zhanyuan knew it clearly in his heart, but felt that there was no way to repay Yuan Shikai's kindness of knowing him.Now, the whole country is raging against Yuan, and the waves are higher than the waves. Yuan Shikai is already in a besieged situation. How to save him—or at least comfort him—Wang Zhanyuan tried his best to be a minister.He told Sun Chuanfang about this feeling, and then said: "The superior (referring to Yuan Shikai) treats you and me very generously. When he was depressed, we didn't express anything, and our hearts were always restless." Sun Chuanfang thought the same way: he knew best in his heart that the so-called elimination of the Bailang uprising army was completely a coincidence.If the mall is really like the legend, it is another main force of Bai Lang's army, and Sun Chuanfang's regiment rushes deep, it may not necessarily be able to win.Coincidentally, I competed for great honors and was promoted repeatedly, which can be regarded as the "superior" love.He wants to devote himself to Yuan's world. "Wang Dujun," Sun Chuanfang said after pondering for a while, "I suddenly remembered something, which is very meaningful, and I can report it to the 'superior'." "What's the matter?" Wang Zhanyuan asked. "A few days ago, we discovered keel fossils in a cave near Yichang, Hubei. Archaeological experts made a big fuss. I think we can make a fuss too." "Why do keel fossils make an article?" Wang Zhanyuan said: "It's just a few old antiques who have nothing to do and talk about it. Why did the keel turn into stone? Just talk." "Archaeology is also a science." After all, Sun Chuanfang is a person who has studied and studied abroad, and knows a little scientific knowledge. "Leaving aside its authenticity, we found that the theory of keel bones has been known all over the world. The appearance of keel bones can symbolize the birth of a real dragon. "On this day when a virtuous dragon prospers", it coincides with Emperor Yuan's ascension to the throne. Isn't it "heavenly" Juanminyou, the feeling is clear'.It has been said that it has been verified that the 'superior' has a big position.Based on this special article, we can report that the 'superior' will feel at ease. " When Sun Chuanfang said this, Wang Zhanyuan laughed. "Xinyuan, after all, you have ink in your stomach! After what you said, the change from the president to the emperor should be on the reappearance of our Yichang keel! Okay, you just write a document like this, and I want to go to Beijing for a visit." trip." After accepting the confession, Sun Chuanfang went to discuss with He Peita, chief of staff of the Supervisory Office.He Peiluo is also a literati who is used to dedication. After coming to Hubei, she wanted to win the governor's seat, but she was suffering from nowhere to enter.When it was said that he had the opportunity to offer his eyebrows to Yuan Shikai, he was naturally delighted.So, the two "brain tanks" secretly started their hands, and soon came up with an eloquent and humane document that "discover the keel, and the real dragon emperor should be born".Wang Zhanyuan nodded after listening.To make the writing clear, he personally led several cronies and sent them directly to Beijing.Although this move was absurd, it still made Yuan Shikai smile. Yuan Shikai, who created imperial farce in Beijing, took office as the interim president of the Republic of China in March 1912 and established the Beijing government, until he "ascended the throne" on New Year's Day in 1916 and was called "Emperor of the Chinese Empire" and changed his name to "Hongxian", less than 4 years At that time, the farce reached its climax: anti-Yuan outrage was raging all over the country, and all Chinese people reviled. Eighty-two days later, Yuan Shikai abolished the monarchy by himself and changed his name to president. Another 75 days later, on June 6, 1916, Yuan Shikai died under the accusation of thousands of people. Yuan Shikai died, and Li Yuanhong succeeded him as president.President Li Yuanhong had conflicts with Prime Minister Duan Qirui, and he only sat in the presidency for a year, a month and seven days before stepping down. When Yuan Shikai formed the Beiyang government, the Beiyang system was clearly divided into two factions, the Anhui faction headed by Duan Qirui from Hefei, Anhui, and the Zhili faction headed by Feng Guozhang from Hejian, Zhili.Although Wang Zhanyuan was from Shandong, he joined Feng Guozhang's immediate family.When Li Yuanhong stepped down, Feng Guozhang was serving as vice president and governor of Jiangsu.The president stepped down, the vice president acted as the president, and Feng Guozhang suddenly became the king and landlord of China. Feng Guozhang was elected vice president relying on the support of Wang Zhanyuan, the governor of Hubei, and Li Chun, the governor of Jiangxi (together with himself known as the "three governors of the Yangtze River"). Now that he is the acting president, Wang and Li are naturally more supportive.Wang Zhanyuan approached Sun Chuanfang, and told him about the situation of Beijing Feng's position with great joy, and then said: "Hua Fu (Feng Guozhang's name Hua Fu) has become the acting president, and will officially assume the position of president soon. This day! The inauguration ceremony of the acting president will probably be held grandly, and we need to make a statement. Are you right?" "Yes, yes." Sun Chuanfang said: "It should be expressed very grandly!" "I've never experienced such a thing before," Wang Zhanyuan said, "How would you express it?" "Organize a congratulatory group, the governor, you are the leader of course, bring the aspirations of Hubei people to Beijing, so that the president can govern with confidence..." Wang Zhanyuan shook his head without waiting for Sun Chuanfang to finish speaking. "Well? It's not good to do this?" Sun Chuanfang was too impulsive.But a little surprised. "The Beiyang family is not in harmony." Wang Zhanyuan said: "We have to take good care of the southern gate of Hankou. I think I will let you do it for me to go to Beijing to congratulate the President." "I...?" Sun Chuanfang was confused, "I'm going to congratulate the President?" He didn't believe it.Even in his dreams, he dared not dream of meeting the President.For a nameless person who can have a foothold and a figure in a small world, he already feels satisfied.When he went to the training camp to serve as a soldier, he had a dream of becoming a company commander. After waking up from the dream, he laughed at himself: "If my Sun Chuanfang can stop wandering and have a bowl of his own food, he is the virtue of his ancestors." In recent years, He still felt that it was a coincidence that he had met a good fellow countryman despite his glorious status.He still didn't dare to think about it.Now, he is going to meet the president as a representative of one side, which is an errand with special significance.He didn't believe it, he was surprised, he was a little bit at a loss in surprise, and his brows were so confused that he changed his shape when he knew exactly that he really wanted to "go to court".Going to meet the "King", the ecstasy in his heart made him change his eyebrows and become another person. "I...I..., can I do it?" "Okay. Why not?" Wang Zhanyuan didn't panic. "Isn't Feng Guozhang also a military governor? He still puts his feet on the job of Jiangsu military governor and is on an equal footing with me. At the beginning, without Li Chun and I helping him, he could be the vice president." ?” However, Wang Zhanyuan still respected Feng Guozhang. After all, he came out of the Zhenger Eight Classics Military Equipment Academy, helped Yuan Shikai create the Beiyang New Army, was appointed by the Qing government as the president of the First Army, and was also the leader of the direct line. "Feng Guozhang's water has risen, so our boats can be taller!" He said to Sun Chuanfang: "Congratulations are just a kind of etiquette. When you enter Beijing this time, you are not just a major general, a brigade commander of a mixed brigade, but He is the governor of Hubei Province and the representative of the common people in Hubei Province, and he will enjoy the treatment of a feudal official. This opportunity is once in a thousand years, and it is your god-given opportunity. You must take this matter seriously." Sun Chuanfang nodded earnestly, and said, "Thank you for your trust and entrustment to Xinyuan, the warlord. I will definitely fulfill my mission!" In August, Wuhan, the city of stoves, was full of scenes of "mirages forming pavilions, and the sound of wow making orchestral strings". The hot wind and turbid waves forced people to dare not even leave their homes. Butterfly." Sun Chuanfang in the warlord's yamen, regardless of the scorching heat, was in a hurry, inside and out, and even put on the major general's uniform that was very out of season.Everything was ready, and with only a few personal entourages, he boarded the box of the northward train——as Wang Zhanyuan's special envoy, he went to Beijing to perform the sacred mission of audience. When Sun Chuanfang arrived in Beijing, he did not visit relatives—his third sister and his widowed mother both lived in Beijing, while his third sister-in-law Wang Yingkai was still an official in other places—nor did he visit friends—he was in Tokyo, Japan. Some of his classmates from the non-commissioned officer school, some of whom are in Beijing, and some of his colleagues in Baoding, Youyou, are also in Beijing—they hurried to the Presidential Palace in Zhongnanhai, registered at the Guanshitang, and then quietly To be summoned.Sun Chuanfang has a heavy responsibility, and Wang Zhanyuan also has a special confession. In short, this mission is very solemn, but it is also quite secret. It only allows the president to understand that "Hubei is loyal to him", and his whereabouts should not be known to more people.After settling down, Sun Chuanfang began to think about how to meet the president, such as how to salute, what demeanor, and what to say.In Wuhan, he consulted the etiquette officer, and the etiquette officer gave him a detailed introduction and gave a demonstration.But, after all, it was just performing in a loose little house of my own.Nowadays, to go to the presidential palace and face the king and the landlord, one has to be extremely measured in every gesture.This "property" is not taught by others, it is entirely up to oneself to respond on the spot.Why did Sun Chuanfang panic after such an occasion? He had a rehearsal when he was in Wuhan. "It's the era of the Republic, how can we do three kowtows and nine prostrations. You have to bow!" After all, Sun Chuanfang came out of a small family courtyard, and what he learned, saw and experienced were all about militarism. thing.Meeting the President is another matter, and it is a very high-level matter. Can he not panic? After Sun Chuanfang arrived in Beijing, his panic gradually increased. Unexpectedly, the matter was unexpectedly simple. Feng Guozhang just let the vice president act as the president and took care of other people's affairs.However, Feng Guozhang's vice president was promoted by the "Three Governors of the Yangtze River", but he could not refuse the representative of Hubei Governor Wang Zhanyuan.So, he arranged a time, and he met Sun Chuanfang alone. Sun Chuanfang's flustered expression naturally calmed down a lot when he was interviewed alone without any ceremony.He only dressed himself up a bit, and brought Wang Zhanyuan's gifts and letters to Zhongnanhai. Feng Guozhang met Sun Chuanfang in a small living room.In the living room, it was quiet. The 61-year-old Feng Guozhang probably hasn't forgotten the extreme heat in Jinling. He is dressed in casual clothes made of Suzhou fabrics, and the tea in his hand is also Suzhou Biluochun, but he didn't drink it.The demented face seemed to be contemplating some "difficult" problem——Feng Guozhang felt that he was getting old. Six years ago, when Yuan Shikai came back because of the Battle of 1911, he still felt that he was young and strong. Under Yuan Shikai's command, he could still do something. Huge big business.When Yuan Shikai became the president, he felt that the old man of Beiyang had a great future. He was determined to defend Nanjing, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, for the Beiyang world.However, since Yuan Shikai wanted to be emperor, Feng Guozhang has been confused... Now, although he is in a high position, he always feels that he is sitting on the crater of a volcano, and there is a feeling of destruction at any time, but he is unwilling in his heart. "Beiyang is separated. With the world, separation is inevitable. In the future, it is not how to govern the 'country', but how to govern the 'family' - how to manage the big family of Beiyang!?" Feng Guozhang met with Wang Zhanyuan's representative alone in order to hold Wang Zhanyuan so that he would not break away from the direct line in the big family that governs Beiyang in the future, and still become his pillar. Sun Chuanfang was ushered in. He walked into the living room, gave a military salute to the acting president, took off his hat and held it in his hands, and said in a baritone voice, "Hello, President!" Feng Guozhang looked up and saw that Sun Chuanfang was a very handsome young man, but he was wearing a military uniform of the rank of a major general. His heart moved: "What a young major general!" He leaned forward, pointed to a chair beside him, and said: "Sit down, please." Sun Chuanfang didn't sit down, just put down his military cap, then took out Wang Zhanyuan's letter, held it in front of Feng Guozhang with both hands, and said: "Wang Dujun greets the President, and congratulates the President for 'king the world'!" Feng Guozhang smiled coldly. "Zichun has also learned to flatter people. How is the situation in Hubei?" "Okay, okay." Sun Chuanfang said: "Wang Dujun manages the army well and has a strong army under him. Everything in Hubei is peaceful." Feng Guozhang nodded and changed the subject... Feng Guozhang knew a little about Wang Zhanyuan's versatile Sun Chuanfang.When Yuan Shikai was training at the small station, Feng Guozhang was the head of the coaching office. Both Sun Chuanfang's brother-in-law Wang Yingkai and Sun Chuanfang's boss Wang Zhanyuan were Feng's acquaintances.After the formation of the Zhili Army, these two men were his generals again. Feng Guozhang knew and supported Sun Chuanfang when he used Sun Chuanfang several times.Feng Guozhang also had great hopes for Sun Chuanfang, "Young man, he has stayed abroad, has been trained in a formal military academy, and has shown both courage and courage in practice. He is a promising person. The situation, talking about the various aspects facing the president, and then, with a modest attitude, said: "Xin Yuan, you are from the front line, and you are from the south, and you have extensive contacts. I want to hear your opinion on the current state affairs.What method do you think we can use to achieve the unity of the country, to end the war and achieve peace?" Sun Chuanfang was startled: "The president is the one who makes such an important issue. Why did you ask me, a small mixed brigade commander?" Then he thought again: "The president raised such an important issue to me. It can be seen that the President thinks highly of me, and only the one who decides the fate of the country discusses the country's major affairs! I, Sun Chuanfang..." Sun Chuanfang was a little secretly happy again, as if the President's question meant that he had already joined the cabinet. "I want to answer the President's question seriously, and let the President know that I am a talented person." Thinking of this, I was so excited, but how should I answer the President's question? Sun Chuanfang was actually missing something. end.However, Sun Chuanfang is very clever. According to his own deduction, those in power are all soldiers. Soldiers are not only militaristic but also militaristic. Talking about any issue is a "fist" theory.So, he said seriously: "The problem that the President is concerned about, in my humble opinion, of course it is best to solve it by force." He had a compassionate heart, but as a result, he suffered from his legacy and missed a major event. But for the Bailang bandits, because he used strong soldiers, the effect was very significant." When Sun Chuanfang was speaking, he peeked at Feng Guozhang with his eyes, and saw that he was not happy Feeling, but furrowed his brows tightly.Sun Chuanfang was shocked: "The President is not willing to use troops?" Sun Chuanfang stopped talking.Feng Guozhang still understood Sun Chuanfang's opinion; he also felt that "this young man has a straightforward temperament, and what he said is not unreasonable." But he also felt that "he is too bookish and can only act on his imagination."He really wanted to tell him plainly, "Scholars can't meddle in politics, the size of a fist is not enough to determine the winner!" After the Beiyang faction's front line was clearly defined, Feng Guozhang and Duan Qirui were already running on two tracks. Each went his own way.Li Yuanhong was forced to step down, and Duan Qirui tried to seize power, but he felt that the danger was too great. He only wanted to be a prime minister with real power and in charge of the Ministry of War. He wanted to use this power to unify China by force.Of course, the straight line is also included.Feng Guozhang, who became the acting president, of course did not want to live under the Anhui clique, so he actively sought another way, singing "peaceful reunification", in order to win people's hearts and stabilize the situation where there is one in two parts of the world, and then think about advancing and retreating .Sun Chuanfang didn't know that he was such a rich man! Therefore, Feng Guozhang didn't bother to talk to him anymore, and simply used this matter as evidence to teach this young up-and-comer a few words and let him know more about "practice". "Xin Yuan, using force is certainly a strategy." Feng Guozhang said, stood up, and walked slowly in the court.As he walked, he said: "However, it is Duan Hefei who has already called for the use of force. We cannot follow in his footsteps. Sure enough, the use of force has paid off. It is a victory for the Anhui Department; we advocate peaceful reunification. The same , if the method of peaceful unification is effective, then the victory will be ours. Think about it, is this the truth?" Although Feng Guozhang's language is not much, but every sentence is ear-splitting.Sun Chuanfang listened, his heart skipped a beat: "I understand, this is called war!" He nodded frequently, and said, "Xinyuan's mind suddenly cleared up after the president pulled it out a little bit. I really heard what the president said. , better than reading ten years of sage books!" "It's good to understand." Feng Guozhang said: "Politics, military affairs, territory, and power cannot be obtained just according to what the book says. Those who play in the army must expand their team and strengthen their troops for themselves; those who play politics , the most beneficial thing is that the power is in the hands and there is considerable territory. Whoever can't do this, don't want to stand out. Whoever can do it will have everything! This is true knowledge. Liu Bang, Zhao Kuangyin, and Zhu Yuanzhang in history, all They are not academics, some are even big hooligans, why do they have the world? Are the methods they use to win the world are benevolent and gentlemen? You are a scholar, think about these things carefully." Feng Guozhang smiled lightly. "It's a long way to go, these are all misty and misty things. You will have time to experience it later, think about it carefully when you are in the actual situation. Go back and tell Zichun, I thank him for his kindness, and thank you for coming to Beijing to congratulate .In the future, you should pay more attention to the south, especially the southwest, so as not to cause trouble there.” Sun Chuanfang, who came out of the presidential palace, was very excited, "After all, the president is tall and sees far; what he says and teaches is shocking!" When he was seriously thinking about the teachings of the president, he felt that these things The language is so "familiar": "I seem to have heard these words there before. Someone said such words to me in the past. Who is it?" Sun Chuanfang couldn't remember for a while.
