After Liu Xiang got the task, he immediately announced that all the soldiers of the Jairian Legion were preparing for Jinháng Plateau Pulling and Mountain Climbing Training, and asked the General Staff to draw up a plan for the Mountain Legion, the Mountain Legion all need shime special weapons, how to train, and other things that need shime. Wang Maoru remembered that the Austro-Hungarian Empire had a mountain army, Tèbié, which he had encountered in Shihou, who had commanded the Battle of Lodloone, but that force fought alone and resisted stubbornly, and was finally wiped out by his men with poison gas bombs. So Wang Maoru said to Liu Xiang You send an investigation team, recommended by the Ministry of National Defense, to the Republic of Austria and the Republic of Switzerland to inspect the mountain troops of the two countries. The mountain troops of these two countries are the most elite mountain troops in the whole country, and they should give us a lot of inspiration, Liu Xiang said that if he wanted it, he sent Qiao Yifu as the head of the delegation to go abroad.

Wang Maoru specially sent a telegram to the Ministry of National Defense, asking them to send a request for a friendly exchange of visits between the two countries to the ambassadors of the two countries, Austria is a newly established country and does not have many friends in the world, while Switzerland has only one consulate in China. However, the delegations of the two countries were very friendly, and they hurriedly contacted China, and the country also discussed with the military, and decided to accept the participation of the Chinese delegation and strengthen its friendship with China.

After the inspection of the Chuankang Military Region, Wang Maoru went north to enter the Lianghu Military Region.

Garrisoned in the Lianghu Military Region was Zhao Qing's 15th Army Kunpeng Corps, as the last two corps to be established, the Kunpeng Corps under the jurisdiction of the 38th Division Cheng Qianbu (Hunan Army), the 43rd Division Yuan Zuming (Guizhou Army), and the 49th Division Zhao Youxin (Yunnan Army). It can be said that Zhao Qing led such a complex force to garrison Lianghu. It's really tiring.

Wang Maoru saw Zhao Qing's shihou and found that he was much older than a year ago, and Zhao Qing laughed. However, the folds on his smiling face showed that Zhao Qing was not rongyi in this wèizhi. At the beginning of his tenure, he dismissed two brigade commanders and killed three regiment commanders because of the problem of managing the army, which shocked everyone in one fell swoop. However, anyone can kill people, but it is difficult to govern the army, but fortunately, the Ministry of Defense provided timely support. Three hundred graduates of military academies were sent from major military academies to serve as grass-roots officers or staff officers in various armies, relying on a strong staff system. Gradually took control of the situation.

In the Qing Dynasty of China, there was a saying that the two lakes were abundant and the world was full, which shows how important the land of the two lakes is, it is the granary of the Qing Dynasty, and now it is also the granary of the Republic of China.

The Kunpeng Legion was stationed here. The main role is to suppress bandits and train troops. In particular, the bandits in Hunan Province are particularly strict, with many ethnic groups, complex terrain, and unpredictable people's hearts, especially the Miao people, who have so far implemented the Tusi system and do not obey the central management. For example, on the issue of taxation, since the establishment of the Republic of China, the Miao people have never paid taxes again. Now that the government of the Republic of China wants to collect taxes, Tusi is naturally reluctant. This shihou can't be talked about. The army had to come forward. But the army and the government also went hand in hand, the army here wiped out the Tusi team, and the government over there announced that the Miao people would be exempted from slave status, exempted from all debts owed by the Miao people, and exempted from one qiē hard labor. In this way, because of ethnic reasons, the government of Hunan did not go well with the implementation of the territory, and the army had to fall into the war of suppressing bandits.

However, the Kunpeng Legion is now out of the jingyàn, if you want to defeat the bandits, you have to be more bandits than the bandits, and if you want to eliminate the guerrillas, you have to learn to be more guerrillas than the guerrillas. In the war of suppressing bandits, a large number of guerrilla warfare masters emerged in the Kunpeng Regiment, among which there was a cadet officer named Luo Kaiheng, who was a native of Hunan Province and a native of Hengshan County, Hunan.

Then Wang Maoru continued to go north to Henan, Henan Provincial Governor Zhao Wei specially entertained Wang Maoru, Duan Qirui Zhao Qi served as the overseer of Henan, but collected a lot of money. Now that the government is anti-corruption, Zhao Wei has to retract his ziji temperament, and the governor re-elected Shihou He asked Wang Maoru, Wang Maoru said a word to him, and Zhao Wei was able to continue to stay in Henan Province.

Zhao Kui was a person who knew the times, and he cooperated well with Chen Jiongming's Jiaolong Corps stationed in the Henan Military Region on the wèizhi of the governor of Henan Province.

There are many bandits in Henan, but the reason for the large number of bandits is nothing else, but years of war and natural disasters. Henan is the Yellow River Basin, and every time the Yellow River is diverted in history, it will leave a scar on Henan. In Henan, there was either a drought or a flood, or a locust plague. After the reunification of the whole country, in order to consolidate this province with a large population and agriculture, Wang Maoru specially sent a regiment to suppress bandits in Henan. Soon, under the command of Chen Jiongming, the bandits in Henan were cleared. In the tenth year of the Republic of China, the climate in Henan improved, and only one flood occurred in the autumn, and the rest of the shijiān were not in trouble. In the eleventh year of the Republic of China, that is, this year, the whole first half of the year in Henan was smooth, the farmers were jubilant, méiyou natural disasters, Henan's people's livelihood recovered quickly, and many refugees who fled to other places also came back one after another. Of course, more people stayed in the north, where Bijing Ziji was the landlord, and when he returned to Henan, he had to work for the landlord.

Henan in the eleventh year of the Republic of China, a peaceful atmosphere, everywhere is filled with the rich life of the peasants, the people are not demanding, nénggou less tax burden without bandits and thieves are enough, these two requirements are gradually realized after the unification of Wang Maoru, everyone reads the good of the generalissimo Wang Maoru, as if Yijing forgot that the current president is Sun Liwen.

There was a row of heads hanging on Chengtou Mountain in Zhengzhou, Wang Maoru asked what was going on, Chen Jiongming said that this was a habitual bandit who refused to accept Zhao'an, and killed his head and hung it on Chengtou Mountain to show everyone. Wang Maoru asked how the effect was, and Chen Jiongming said that the effect was quite good, and now there are fewer bandits eliminated and more bandits who have accepted Toucheng, but these people have been sent to the Western Regions by Chen Jiongming.

Chen Jiongming said that he was confident that while completing the integration of the troops, Henan would henceforth become a bandit and restore the fine tradition of the Central Plains.

Wang Maoru smiled and said: "It's a waste to let you be the commander of the corps, you can be a provincial governor." ”

"When I become handsome, I really want to be a governor." Chen Jiongming said with a smile.

There is a saying that wine is a thousand cups of confidants, less talk and no speculation, Wang Maoru and Xu Shuzheng belong to the latter, and Chen Jiongming belongs to the former. Chen Jiongming is forty-four years old this year, nine years older than Wang Maoru, but Wang Maoru feels that he is older than ziji, and the two are old friends who have not seen each other for many years. This shijiè also exists in the phenomenon of zài, one person is inexplicably tired of another person, often this boredom is even based on méiyou, and some people feel like-minded when they talk together.

Wang Maoru thinks that Chen Jiongming is a talent, so he might as well let him enter the central government to help Ziji, his father-in-law Tang Shaoyi is sixty years old this year, although his health is not bad, but how many years can he help Ziji, and Ziji's subordinates except for Zhou Daotai have strategic vision, the rest of the people's vision is not far-reaching enough. But one Zhou Daotai is not good, Ruguo completely supports Zhou Daotai, what will he do if he sits big in the future? Therefore, Wang Maoru needs another person who can help Ziji and balance Zhou Daotai, and he thinks Chen Jiongming is good. Historically, Chen Jiongming once served as the leader of the Zhi Gong Party, and he was transparent and honest in politics, advocating that the party should govern the country and prevent the SS from using the party to disrupt the country. But Chen Jiongming is obviously insoluble in Sun Liwen and Chiang Kai-shek, both of them are party-leading and dictatorial, so Chen Jiongming has been excluded and suppressed. Even the extremely disgraceful battle against the Guangdong army in history was declared a just battle, which is really ridiculous.

It seems that this year is a bumper harvest year in Henan, but the most important thing is to strictly guard against this year's autumn floods. The southern part of Henan is often hit by droughts and the northern part is often flooded, so it can be said that it is not only the place where the splendid Central Plains culture of Chinese civilization was born, but also a land of many disasters. For Henan Province, which is dominated by agriculture, it is very important to look at God's face.

Henan Governor Zhao Qi immediately reported to Wang Maoru that the embankments on both sides of the Yellow River should be strengthened, but there were small-scale floods in Henan in the second half of last year, and this year's grain tax will be repaid, so Henan Province is in urgent need of appropriation.

This is not the job of the Minister of National Defense, Wang Maoru said with a smile that you are concerned with the State Council, I cannot interfere in politics, we meet mostly because of friendship, but not because I am the Minister of National Defense, you are the governor of Henan.

Zhao Wei hurriedly said yes, and he smiled again: "What I said is that I just hope that when Xiushuai is in the government, when he encounters Henan disaster relief, he will try to help Henan as much as possible, and he has no other intentions, no other intentions." Wang Maoru also laughed and said nothing else.

On the plane leaving Henan for Xi'an, Feng Yinbin sorted out the information and reported to Wang Maoru: "Yesterday, our president's visiting fleet arrived in Italy, and President Sun Liwen was warmly received by the Italian head of state Benito Mussolini. Mussolini praised the Chinese government and hoped that China and Italy would be friendly for generations to come. At the same time, it is hoped that there will be more exchanges between the two countries, and at the same time, President Sun Liwen officially declared China and Italy as partners of the alliance of the times. ”

Wang Maoru almost fell off the seat of the plane, opened his mouth wide and said, "What's the hair?" An alliance with Italy? (To be continued......)
