Chen Zheng saw Huang Fang beating his chest and repented, and comforted: "Squad Leader Huang, don't say that, I don't blame you, it's because he is too cowardly." He used to work as a laborer for the British, and the British often beat and scolded the Chinese laborers, deducted wages, worked overtime, and those who rarely resisted were also hung up and beaten. We were fortunate enough to work for the French, much better than they were for the British. Xiao Li worked for the British for two years without getting a penny, and he joined the army entirely because he could return to China by the way and not be bullied by the gringos. Therefore, Xiao Li subconsciously did not dare to do anything with foreigners, he was afraid that he would be beaten when he went back after causing trouble, and he was also afraid that he would be punished for offending the military stick. ”

Huang Fang sighed: "He is a natural slave, this kind of person in our army can't survive." ”

Chen Zheng thought so, because every day when he was done with food, there were always soldiers who ran to the ring in the middle of the cabin to play to vent their energy, and the commanders were also happy to encourage this kind of ring game. Yuan Zhihua, the shortest in their squad, was actually a champion, not to mention their company, even in their battalion, no one could beat him, so Yuan Zhihua, a recruit who joined the army only half a year earlier than them, still won the respect of all the soldiers, and was given the nickname Mad Dog.

The incident of the recruit Xiao Li being shot gave a strong signal to all the soldiers, those who are not united internally are more severely punished than breaking any law, you don't see Huang Fang and others who are fighting, only Huang Fang was demoted to half a position, and Xiao Li, who did not help, was shot? These officers who fought in Europe heard that they were going to be promoted when they returned home. Although Huang Fang was demoted by half a position, he would definitely be promoted when he went back, basically this punishment was the same as nothing.

Chen Zhengyu said to Wang Fugui, who is also a recruit, with a deep voice: "No matter which comrade-in-arms needs help in the future, we must not watch it alone, otherwise we will be the next to be shot." Although Wang Fugui was timid, after Xiao Li was shot, he also nodded in agreement.

The fleet again began to sail back in the direction of China. This incident deterred not only the recruits, but also the Italian and Japanese sailors, who truthfully reported the incident to the Japanese Naval Intelligence Service. Evade the Naval Intelligence Service after getting the information. However, it was surprisingly not handed over to the Army Intelligence Department, which shows how contradictory the dispute between land and sea in Japan was.

And at this time, in Changchun, northeast China. The Governor's Office of the three eastern provinces decreed that there were clear regulations on the level of administrative units and the naming of regions in the future, that is, eight levels: province, prefecture, county, city, town (district), township, village, and tun, and all prefectures were renamed as cities, such as Changchun Prefecture was renamed Changchun City, Changchun County, Changchun Prefecture, Shenyang Prefecture was changed to Shenyang City, Qiqihar Prefecture was changed to Qiqihar City, and so on.

And Governor Wang Maoru is preparing to supervise the new home in the Governor's Palace, which was originally where Meng Enyuan lived, and his Shangwu General's Mansion was in Harbin, but Meng Enyuan became vice president, and the Governor's Mansion was given to him.

Wang Maoru disliked that this governor's mansion was too old. He asked Chu Yong to help design the European castle-style governor's palace, Chu Yong smiled bitterly and said that if it was built in Changchun City, it would be inappropriate, so it would be better to build it on the edge of the city, build more, and build thirty or forty castles. It is a symbol of status and a symbol of power, the governor's palace is still retained, and it will be used as an office location in the future, how about your family build a castle-style villa?

Originally, I wanted to work from home, but Wang Maoru thought that it was too unseemly for him to do so, and what would it look like when his home and office were put together. So he asked Chu Yong to build villas and castles in the middle of the Yitong River and Nanhu Lake in the southern suburbs of Changchun City. Each castle villa is European-style, covering an area of thousands of square meters, with a construction area of nearly 1,000 square meters, a stadium, a lawn, a garden, a swimming pool, a fitness gym, and the villa of the Shangwu General's Mansion is even larger, covering an area of 5,000 square meters, with a construction area of 1,800 square meters.

Wang Maoru was taken aback when he saw Chu Yong's design drawing, and said that if you don't engage in urban planning, you can support yourself by opening a construction company. The design of this castle villa looks really eye-catching, so Chu Yong was in charge of the construction, and Chu Yong first determined forty mansions and villas in this area, and each of these forty mansions cost as much as 300,000 silver dollars. After Wang Maoru rewarded each of his generals, there were still seventeen mansions left, so they took them out for auction.

This bold design was immediately snapped up by former Russian aristocrats living in Changchun, not to mention a mansion that sold for as much as 500,000 oceans, but the bold Russian aristocrats and Jewish businessmen paid for it. Wang Maoru originally thought that these Russians would have little money after fleeing Russia, otherwise there would not be so many Russian nobles and ladies who would marry Chinese peasants later, but now I see that these Russians do not seem to be so poor - the Jews sacrifice their lives and money, but the Russians who escaped are now poor, especially the nobles who do not know any crafts.

The pre-sale of the villa was quickly sold out, and Wang Maoru didn't quite understand why the villa here was so popular, but Zhang Yiwei explained: "The villa here is luxurious and magnificent, and if you put your home here, the surrounding security must be the best." Besides, the Northeast will stabilize in the future, and the land price and housing prices will definitely rise, and if you buy it now for 500,000 oceans, it may be 1 million or 2 million oceans when it changes hands in a few years. ”

Wang Maoru felt funny when he heard it, no wonder real estate is the most effective means to boost GDP in later generations, but unfortunately this house is just a dead thing. The highest price of the villas sold was 930,000, the lowest was 550,000, and the seventeen villas and mansions were bought for 10 million oceans, not only the cost of building villas was enough, but also made a lot of money. Wang Maoru later inquired, it turned out that three of these villas were privately purchased by the Russian Emperor Nicholas II and given to Denikin, Kornilov and Kolchak, the three leaders of the Russian Imperial Army uprising, who were the first to rebel against Soviet Russia. Kolchak gave the villa to his lover Anna to thank Anna for following Siberia to marry him in his most difficult time.

Since villas are so profitable, why not build more? Wang Maoru went to Chu Yong again, and Chu Yong said that he had exhausted himself to build more than 40 villas, so how could he have the energy to build more. Wang Maoru nodded and said, "In this case, why don't we set up a construction engineering company, you find your classmates to be designers, and the two of us will run this company together." Chu Yong shook his head and said, "How can I have the energy to run a company, but I can introduce my classmates to be designers." ”

So Chu Yong introduced his classmate Wu Xulin, Wang Maoru saw the business card when he thought that this person's surname was mother, but the original surname was Wu (sound: none). Wu Xulin is also a person who doesn't talk much, General Shangwu asked him to be the general manager of the construction company, and agreed without saying a word. In this way, the Huaxia Construction Corporation was established in Changchun, and Wang Maoru and some military officers contributed to raise funds, and he accounted for 75 percent of the company's shares. The first project undertaken by Huaxia Construction Engineering Corporation was the Changchun Castle Group, also known as the noble Limburg. The company expanded as Wang Maoru's power expanded, eventually becoming the largest real estate company in China.

This castle group is a big project, just these villas, all of them have to be different, Wu Xulin alone can not design, so he found a lot of former Russian designers and engineers living in the Northeast, these people came to the Northeast to do odd jobs, the Holy Lake is not ordinary miserable, and now under Wu Xulin's hands it is full of talent. And these villas because of the absence of Xu Lin and Russian engineers who stayed in France, these villas and castles have a strong Russian style, at first glance I thought this was a foreign country, and then take a closer look at the original road signs or something, it turned out to be Changchun.

Finalized the matter of the castle group, Ma Liang suddenly reported that Baoqi in Shenyang was about to give birth, Wang Maoru hurried to Shenyang, but this matter made the other ladies unhappy, the general was not around when they gave birth to children, this woman is not a lady, and the general actually went to the fart when she gave birth to a child. Women's minds are sometimes not so atmospheric, especially when there are more wives, Wang Maoru didn't think much about it, leaving the four wives who were angry and went to Shenyang.

Tang Baoqi did not live with Wang Maoru's four wives until she died, firstly, the four ladies couldn't look down on her favor, and secondly, Baoqi didn't like to watch Wang Maoru pull and pull with other women, so she simply couldn't see it and didn't bother and lived in Shenyang all the time.

Due to the persecution of the Russian aristocracy and intellectuals in Soviet Russia, many Russian scholars took refuge in the Far East, and the most accepting of Russians in the Far East was China. Wang Maoru, the governor of Northeast China, issued an order that all foreigners entering China could apply for Chinese nationality, and the Chinese government would protect them, which led to the flooding of Northeast China with Russians. Of course, the Russians at this time did not have any privileges, but they were all intellectuals and quickly mastered some important departments.

One of the three public hospitals in Shenyang is a maternal and child health hospital specially set up for women and young children, Wang Maoru accompanied Tang Baoqi to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctors and nurses were surprised that the governor of Northeast China would accompany a woman to do a gynecological check-up. The doctor who did the examination was a tall and thin Russian lady, who had been told to be Sister Tamilyugin, who came to China with her monastery because the Soviets were not religious and many Russian Orthodox Christians were persecuted. And a new monastery was built around the city of Shenyang. However, the Chinese government does not subsidize religious activities, and in order to maintain the normal life of the monastery, the nuns of the monastery have to be self-reliant. Since she was a professor at the Imperial Academy of Tsarist Russia before becoming a nun, Tamilyukin was hired as one of the attending physicians of the hospital, and all the nuns she brought with her were retained. Of course, the biggest problem they encountered was the language problem, and at the age of forty-two, Tamilyugin learned to speak fluent Chinese in three months, and she could not help but admire that she was indeed a woman who had dedicated her life to religion. rs
