Chapter 2 break the title

Dagu, a desolate town near the sea in Tianjin, was still desolate in the sixth year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty (1881: the Cao family of the shipbuilding family in the town still relied on shipbuilding for a living. Only the third son of this family, Cao Kun, was unlucky. He didn't want his son to inherit his father's career, so he decided to go to the Huai Army. Father Cao Bensheng was really depressed for a few days, but he finally figured it out: "Oh! There is a dewdrop on each person's head, Nd, things are already 19 years old, If you can’t study well, sell cloth on credit, and idle around all day long, it’s not an option. If you’re a soldier, you should be a soldier.” So, he called his son to him, and said with a livid face, “San’er, you’ve made up your mind to be a soldier, Dad. I won't stop you either. I just have to say a few words first, and it's up to you to listen or not."

When Cao Kun saw that his father had agreed to serve in the army, he hurriedly said, "Father, just say what you have to say, and my son will definitely listen to it. After listening to it, I will keep it in my heart as a golden rule, and I will never forget it for the rest of my life." Cao Bensheng still said with a cold face: "Remember, don't go out to cause trouble. If you can eat a full bowl of food and live a peaceful life, even if you are capable, dad will burn incense for you in Dagu. I really can't do it anymore. Going back to Dagu, shipbuilding is our ancestral business, you should build boats with my father and me. Cao’s old forest has no geomantic omen, no one is very promising. It’s fate, don’t think about it.”

Cao Kun blinked his eyes, couldn't taste the ups and downs of his father's words for a while, and just nodded silently. What the old man said was right, Cao Kun had served in the army for twenty years before becoming a battalion commander, which shows that the Cao family's old Lin has a bad feng shui.Unexpectedly, in the "prosperous age" of the Beiyang warlords, Cao Kun's fortunes turned around, and the sky rose straight. He became the commander of the third town of Yuan Shikai's Beiyang New Army. The Yu tour envoy...became a tyrant in the north with Baoding as its base!

After all, the territory of China is not only the northern loess inside and outside the Great Wall, the upper and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the left and right along the coast, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou, and the vastness of the Northwest and Southwest.Therefore, the overlords of China in all dynasties always wanted to unify China and become kings and landlords.As a result, the soldiers continued to suffer disasters, fighting and fighting, and the wars continued for years.Fighting for power, fighting for territory, fighting for the ultimate throne. Cao Kun was different. After he became the overlord of the north, he collected a lot of money and had countless fortunes. He wanted to buy a "extreme position" with money.This is rare in Chinese history, so our "Legendary Story" will make irresponsible remarks around the matter of "bribing elections".

I declare: I have no talent for governing the world and helping the gang, and I dare not abuse the disadvantages and make a show of power. Although the words are profuse, in the final analysis, it is just a novel.
