As the foundation of Wang Maoru, the view of the local government in Northeast China is definitely to support Wang Maoru's point of view to play a dignified one, and the irascible and stubborn character of Northeast people determines that they cannot accept any other way. In other places, the left and the right have their own opinions.

Wang Maoru's close friend Yan Fu, although he and Wang Maoru have a mellow personal friendship, he also openly opposes the use of force alone to fight for dignity in the newspaper. Of course, the most surprising thing for Wang Maoru was that Sun Wen, who was in the field of the Shanghai concession apartment, announced in the newspaper that he supported Wang Maoru's slogan of "playing with dignity", he said: "Looking at the development of the world, the rise of the great powers is accompanied by bloody battles. ”

At this time, Sun Wen gradually drifted away from the support of the Japanese government, and the Japanese government tended to support the Beiyang government more and more, and finally abandoned Sun Wen, and Sun Wen was also one of the most difficult periods in his life. After he was overthrown in the provisional government in the south, he could not hide his anger, and resigned in a fit of anger and hid in Shanghai, where he and his henchmen were arguing all day long on how to regain power.

At first, Jiang Zhongzheng, who was still Sun Wen's military attaché, saw the discussion of the "civil-military dispute" in the newspaper, and he was very interested, so he took the newspaper to Sun Wen. Sun Wen had his thoughts after reading it, he was a nationalist radical, and he had been repeatedly rebelling against the Qing Dynasty and the Beiyang government, which shows that this person is aggressive but has no strategy. And his Han nationalism even overshadows the actual situation in China at this stage, and his ideas are often as extremely unrealistic as his proposal to build 100,000 kilometers of railways across the country, but they are also extremely naïve. He was a naïve radical. In later generations, there was a word created specifically for people like Sun Wen, and this word was angry youth, but he was an old angry youth in the Republic of China era.

After Sun Wen thought about it, the client published an article in the newspaper in support of Wang Maoru's slogan of "playing a dignified one", which made the Beijing government jealous, and Wang Maoru also laughed dumbly when he read the newspaper at home. Why did Sun Wen, who was cowering in Shanghai, also jump out to join in the fun? He thought about it for a while, smiled and instructed Ma Liang: "Send a telegram to invite Mr. Sun to go north, I want to talk to him about the development path of China." ”

Ma Liang was surprised: "Is this a bit hasty?" ”

Wang Maoru said with a smile: "If we don't use him, others will use him." ”

"Someone else? Who? ”

Wang Maoru smiled and said nothing, just staring at the direction of Moscow on the map.

Now Wang Maoru has a large group of think tanks under his command, including politics and military affairs, economy and diplomacy, and Zhang Yiwei for political convenience. In terms of force, there is Jiang Fangzhen, there is Zhang Hongyang in the economy, and Zhang Kuian in diplomacy, but one thing these people have in common is that they cannot see the future. And Wang Maoru can see the future, which is also what sets him apart.

Summoning Sun Wen north by telegram would indeed be a tricky move, which would aggravate the discord with the Beijing government. Similarly, Sun Wen is a natural rebel who has never been willing to be subordinate, Wang Maoru wants to use him, and it is very likely that he will also be used by him. Just like when he first contacted the KMT, he was rumored by the KMT that he would be sandwiched by Cai Ye and Yuan Shikai from the north and south. Sun Wen's think tank is not weaker than his subordinates.

Wang Maoru's telegram caused an uproar all over the world, and no one thought that at this pass, this pass of peace in China, the belligerent martial general Wang Maoru would summon Sun Wen to go north to discuss the development of China in detail. Are they presidents?

Duan Qirui angrily threw the telegram on the ground and said, "Wang Xiusheng is too arrogant. It's too arrogant. ”

Xu Shuzheng said on the side: "This person is really hateful, why don't you mobilize the whole country to attack him in groups?" ”

Duan Qirui sighed. Shaking his head, he said: "This person is cowering in the Northeast and not coming out, and it is difficult for us to enter the Northeast, we should have supported Zhang Yuting in the first place." ”

Xu Shuzheng said: "Zhang Yuting is not a good thing, this person's ambition is greater than Wang Maoru, if he unifies the Northeast, he will definitely be sent south, how can he stay in the Guannai honestly like Wang Maoru." Wang Maoru's repeated attackers rely on being good at seizing the opportunity and drilling camps, and he seems to be extremely afraid of domestic reactions. ”

"This is also where he is clever, this kid, I said a long time ago, it's not simple, it's not simple." Duan Qirui sighed and said with a wry smile: "I gave him the title of General Shangwu, and the relationship between us is very deep. He added: "How is Zhang Zuolin in the northwest?" ”

Xu Shuzheng said: "Grow opium, cultivate fields, run a military academy, train troops and bury yourself in development, and are ambitious, but the territory is smaller, otherwise it will be another Wang Maoru." ”

The various warlords across the country have also given Duan Qirui, who has always wanted to reunify by force, a headache, in fact, if it can be broken and rebuilt, such as following Wang Maoru's example in the northeast to implement the staff management system, and separating the military and the government, it is not impossible. However, the difference between the two parties is that Wang Maoru built the army from scratch for eight years, and when it was built, it was an army built in accordance with the separation of military and government, while the Anhui army itself inherited the warlord system, and using the warlord degree to eliminate the warlord system would only form more warlords.

Duan Qirui was also exhausted at this time, and he was much older, and what gave him a headache recently was that President Xu Shichang asked for the disbandment of Xu Shuzheng's army at the National Assembly because of the end of the obligation of the Chinese army to participate in the war. There are only two divisions left in the participating army, namely the first division and the third division, but they are all directly under the armed forces in the hands of Xiao Xu.

So how to keep the two divisions of the participating army has also become a headache for the two, Wang Maoru is good, in the northeast directly reorganized the headquarters of the participating army into the Northeast Frontier Army, but Xiao Xu's army is not in the village in front of the Central Plains, how to change? In history, although Xu Shuzheng used the participating army to be reorganized into the Northwest Frontier Army, it was obvious that at this time Mongolia was controlled by Wang Maoru, Shanxi Suiyuan and Gansu were gradually controlled by Zhang Zuolin, and Xiao Xu lost his name.

The Beijing government has a lot of headaches, and Sun Wen's headaches are much simpler, whether to go to the Northeast or not, and what can he do when he goes to the Northeast?

Wang Maoru formed a strong group government in the northeast, the management system at all levels in this group government is like a pyramid, the top is the northeast governor Wang Maoru, under it are five provincial governors, five governors under the governors, under the governors are county heads, and then mayors, town heads, village heads, tun chiefs, this system has been formed, in which the governor is elected by the people, and the governor is appointed, so as to ensure both the public opinion and the interests of the government. The governors elected by the voters themselves embody the "people" master, and the governors are run by big warlords, and there are no small warlords in the northeast, there is only one warlord, and that is Wang Maoru. The generals under him were only responsible for the military aspect, and the army strictly intersected with the government, putting an end to the intersection of civil and military. The ambitious among the warriors are not supported by the civil officials, and the ambitious civil officials are incapable, and the civil servants are subject to the joint restrictions of the Independent Commission Against Corruption and the national courts.

What can Sun Wen do when he comes to the Northeast? Being a governor? He does not have this right, except for the special first year in Heilongjiang, it has now been clearly stipulated that a candidate for governor of a state must live in the state for more than three years and obtain a state hukou, and Sun Wen cannot lower his own price to become an official under Wang Maoru. But Wang Maoru's bureaucratic system is stable, what does Sun Wen do if he doesn't become an official? If you go, you will definitely be used by Wang Maoru, and if you don't go, it has been very embarrassing to stay in Shanghai at this time.

In the end, Wang Jingwei came back from Jilin and said excitedly: "The election of governor of Jilin was extremely miserable, extremely tragic, and I didn't expect that it was the Zhi Gong Party that took advantage in the end, which is really surprising." ”

"Can the Kuomintang gain government executive power in the Northeast?" Sun Wen asked.

Wang Jingwei said: "After serving as governor, it is completely fine, but the province will delineate directions and restrictions, and in this direction and restrictions, it is free to play, such as immigration policy, the government to encourage immigration, the governor to formulate how to encourage immigration, how to stabilize immigration, how to deal with the relationship between local residents and immigrants, and many other miscellaneous matters. Seeing that Hu Hanmin and the others were worried, he said, "What about staying in Shanghai?" It's better to go to the Northeast, then Wang Maoru doesn't dare to do anything to you, besides, he is a politician, not a butcher, if he is just a butcher, how can he be the governor of the five provinces. ”

Sun Wen finally decided: "Okay, go to the Northeast, I will meet Wang Maoru and see what insights this young man has." Later, he issued a reply, expressing his willingness to go north to talk in detail with General Shangwu, and called on the Kuomintang people to learn from Wang Maoru's spirit of sacrifice for the country and the people.

Wang Maoru read the newspaper and said with a smile: "This is not the first time I have cooperated with him, but I just hope that this time I won't make any more moths." ”

The first thing the local government in Northeast China did after the Spring Festival in 1919 was to announce the formal completion of the 15 divisions of the Northeast Frontier Army and to issue a local government planning message. This is somewhat similar to the State of the Union address in later generations, mainly reflecting two aspects, the first is the transparency and planning of the government, and the second is the display of great strength to deter the enemy.

The local planning address is not tens of thousands of words and hundreds of pages like the State of the Union address, and Wang Maoru's planning address is also very simple, with a total of five plans: military, political, economic, national welfare, and education.

On the military front, the Northeast Frontier Army has further planned its armed forces to form an army based on 15 regular army divisions, 10 armed police brigades, and the all-people reserve system. The second division of the original Xu Shuzheng's participating army was swallowed up by Wang Maoru and became the 15th Army Division, and he directly took off his military uniform and changed it into the black military uniform of the Northeast Frontier Army, and the Japanese-style weapons were replaced by 77-caliber Northeast Frontier Army standard weapons. Of course, none of the instructors wanted to go, perhaps because they wanted to study the Northeast Frontier Army and make further preparations for the Sino-Japanese conflict in the future. In addition to the three provinces of Rehe, Heilongjiang, and Jilin, which each have two armed police brigades, an armed police brigade has been established in Mongolian Province, and a third armed police brigade has been established in Liaoning Province. The promulgation of the all-people reserve system is a shocking thing.

National reserves, what a huge project this is, and it is also a loss to Wang Maoru who dares to say ......)
