Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Fengsui Seed Company will be publicly established tomorrow, and Qi*jiang and Jiangjin counties must cooperate in publicity work."

    Xu Wei¡¯s previous guess was not wrong. Farm No. 2 used the rice from Feng Shoude¡¯s field to cultivate rice seedlings and plant seeds.  A bumper harvest has been achieved, and the crops in the fields are now growing significantly better than elsewhere.  Most of them stayed in the military camp and focused on training. Occasionally, Xu Wei would take a day or two to inquire about the internal affairs of the two counties.

    Zhang Xiguo smiled and said, "I'm afraid there is no need to publicize it. The news about the rice seeds at Tuanzuo No. 2 Farm has already spread, and many people from neighboring counties have come to ask."

    "Yes, the yield per mu is more than 300 kilograms. I never dared to think about it before. In previous years of famine, I don't know how many people would starve to death. If we can achieve this yield, the family will have a surplus of food, and there will be less food in the future.  The people are starving to death." Sun Jianyang was also filled with emotion.

    According to Xu Wei¡¯s instructions, Guo Qun bought different numbers of paddy fields to grow rice in different small towns in the two counties.  The harvest, with an average yield of more than 320 kilograms per mu, made farmers who didn't witness it jealous.

    "That's what I say, but some people don't know it." Xu Weidao said, "Next year, the two counties will use high-earth rice seeds as soon as possible."

    "Don't worry, everyone, this humble position will definitely make the name of Fengsui Rice resounding in every corner of Qijiang County." Zhang Huaiyuan said.  Sun Jianyang then made the same guarantee.

    "Bang!" The wooden door was pushed open forcefully.  Xu Wei looked up and saw Xu Shaozeng, Rao Guohua, Zhou Wu, Ding Dafu, Zhang Huaiyuan, Zhang Jing and other officers above the first level of the company, and all the staff officers in the regiment appeared in front of Xu Wei with angry faces.

    "Team seats!"

    "What's the matter?" Xu Wei asked.

    "Today Japan issued an ultimatum to the central government, requiring the Republic of China to agree to the Twenty-One Issues within two days!" Xu Shaozeng said in a slightly hoarse voice.  "Some soldiers in the regiment are now emotionally unstable."

    In the previous expansion of the army, a considerable number of soldiers came from the defeated troops of Xiong Kewu's old fifth division, and there were many Kuomintang members among them. If they were not careful, a mutiny was likely to occur.

    "I'll go take a look." Xu Wei took the telegram, glanced at it, stood up suddenly and walked out of the house.

    Chi¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ªA bolt of lightning pierced the somewhat hazy sky, and fine raindrops fell over the Qi*jiang River, which had been filled with moisture for a long time.

    The sound of rain, the jeers of the soldiers, and the sound of military boots on the ground were mixed together. On the high platform in front of the military camp, there was a wooden table. Originally, the outstanding soldiers in the regiment were to be commended today, but I didn't expect to hear this unexpectedly.  Bad news.

    "The group is here!" Xu Wei's guard shouted, and the somewhat chaotic scene suddenly became quiet.  After spending nearly two years with the soldiers day and night, Xu Wei's prestige has been deeply implanted in the hearts of these soldiers.

    Xu Wei climbed up to the high platform in front of the military camp, looked at the crowded scene in front of him, and shouted, "What do you want to do! You want to take up your guns and attack the Japanese invaders now! Fight to the foot of Mount Fuji!"

    "I want to, but I can't do it! China, a huge country that has lasted for five thousand years, is now so weak and is being dominated by Japan, which is a small country. I hate it in my heart!" Xu Wei punched him in the body.  On the table in front of him, there was a bang, and Xu Wei punched the wooden table down with all his strength.  "But you should understand that if you fall behind, you will be beaten. This is how it is between countries. Whoever has a bigger fist can beat others! If you have sorrow and indignation in your hearts, the Republic of China can still be saved! Now we can't defeat the Japanese devils, but as long as we  If we work hard, one day I can take you to Mount Fuji, tear down the sun flag, throw it under your feet and trample on it"

    The commotion of the mixed group was successfully suppressed by Xu Wei, but at this time, the torrent surging throughout the Republic of China was just beginning to show its edge.

    At 11:00 pm on May 9, the fourth year of the Republic of China (1915), the central government chose to conditionally accept the Twenty-One Days. At this point, May 9 was designated as a national humiliation day by the National Education Union, which was called the "May-Nine National Humiliation"  !

    On May 25, the two countries formally exchanged letters on the 21st. At this point, Sino-Japanese relations deteriorated to the peak.  Anti-Japanese sentiment among the people was rising. Duan Qirui resigned and went to Xishan to recuperate. Beiyang and other senior generals also tried their best to fight.

    Yuan Shikai could have taken this opportunity to fight Japan and his reputation would reach its peak. However, Yuan Shikai's mind was elsewhere at this time. The ensuing scandal of proclaiming himself emperor quickly turned the Republic of China's anger against Japan into anger against the traitors.  Outrageous rage.

    The situation in the entire Republic of China was in a precarious state. Twenty-one chapters and Yuan Shikai's attempt to proclaim himself emperor had suppressed the negative emotions accumulated throughout the Republic of China to the extreme and could explode at any time.

    In order to complete his plan to become emperor, Yuan Shikai ordered Chen Huan to handle Sichuan military affairs as deputy chief of staff.  Chen Huan first went to Hubei to meet with Duan Zhigui and Wang Zhanyuan.  Then he entered Hunan and met with Tang Xiangming.  Then they joined Li Bingzhi, Wu Xiangzhan, and Feng Yuxiang, the three powerful Beiyang troops, who entered Sichuan by water. The first place they arrived was Chongqing.Reviewing Zhou Jun's army, Xu Wei, as Zhou Jun's subordinate, naturally had to bring the first mixed regiment to Chongqing for review.

    As a direct descendant of Beiyang, Chen Huan personally led three mixed third brigades into Sichuan, with excellent soldiers and weapons. Although Xu Wei had a mixed regiment, the artillery battalion only had six old mountain cannons, and the supply of artillery shells was insufficient.  Compared with the eighteen 75mm cannons in one artillery battalion of the mixed brigade of Feng Yuxiang, Li Bingzhi and Wu Xiang at this time, it was more than one block behind.  There is also a cavalry battalion, which for the Sichuan army at this time can be said to be armed to the teeth.

    Seeing Chen Huan's three mixed brigades walking majestically at the Chongqing Yaowu Field, and their own junk, Xu Wei felt a little uncomfortable. They were all soldiers.

    "Isn't it just the Central Army? Why are they showing off their prestige in Chongqing? I think this Chen Huan is a good man and won't come here. I'm afraid he wants to cut down the vassal!" Xu Wei said in a low voice to Zhou Jun, who was smiling next to him.

    "Shut up, Chen Huan went to Sichuan under the order of the president, how can he be compared with us." Zhou Jun scolded in a low voice, but a trace of displeasure flashed in the corner of his eyes.  Although they are both members of Beiyang, his local faction is obviously much worse than Chen Huan's central faction.  Regardless of the fact that Zhou Jun's military strength is similar to that of Chen Huan at this time, a fight would really break out.  Zhou Jun didn't feel confident at all.

    Although he verbally reprimanded Xu Wei, Zhou Jun couldn't help but be a little more wary of Chen Huan in his heart.  Xu Wei was right. The three elite mixed brigades entered Chongqing with such great fanfare. They were definitely not just going around for fun, using strong force and central status to force local powerful factions like Zhou Jun into submission and dismantle the local army.

    "Guardian envoys don't have to worry too much. When Chen Huan enters Sichuan this time, he must first win the position of Sichuan general before he attacks local powerful factions. We can just wait and see what happens. If we don't cut down other places, neither will the garrison envoys."  Cut off." Xu Wei seemed to see through Zhou Jun's thoughts.

    "You should say this as little as possible from now on." Zhou Jun whispered.

    "You'll save money by taking a humble position." Xu Wei nodded.
