When Lao Jiang was pretending to be a crowd in the corner of the banquet hall, Wang Xueqian, who was actually standing on the stage, recognized him at a glance. It¡¯s not that he pays special attention to Chiang Kai-shek, so that the impression of Chiang Kai-shek appears in his mind all the time. It¡¯s not like that at all. Today, Wang Xueqian's status can long ignore the existence of Chiang Kai-shek. If Chiang Kai-shek served as the principal of a military academy in Guangzhou, Wang Xueqian would still pay attention to him given his passion for power. But that's all. Even if Chiang Kai-shek takes control of the Kuomintang, so what? Can it threaten Wang Xueqian's layout? It may or may not be possible. Even Mr. Sun Da can no longer threaten Wang Xueqian's status. This is the accumulation process of reputation, a process from quantitative change to qualitative change. Mr. Sun Da has walked this stretch of road for no less than twenty years, so needless to say the hardships. But it took Wang Xueqian five years, and the journey was extremely glorious. The wealthy crown prince of an unknown country was destined to be the emperor when he was born. Gold is very valuable. The reason why Wang Xueqian recognized Chiang Kai-shek at first glance was because his personality was so outstanding. There were hundreds of people in the hall, but Lao Jiang was the only one with a shaved head. Under the light of the crystal chandelier, it shone brightly and dazzled the eyes. With that gloss, it must have been oiled. It's hard to ignore Wang Xueqian who is standing high up! In particular, his memory of Lao Jiang, who had a small parted hair, is a little fuzzy. The key is that the small parted hair is too popular. Seven or eight out of ten young people in Shanghai have a small parted hair. Even a professor like Hu Shi is here, and he is so ugly. But this image doesn¡¯t fit well with Lao Jiang. With his long face and smooth head shape, he is a natural template for a shaved head. When Lao Jiang¡¯s bald head came out, Wang Xueqian didn¡¯t even look at it carefully. In the process of his eyes flickering, he felt that this person should be Lao Jiang, otherwise such a bright head would be in vain. Speaking of Lao Jiang shaving his head, there is still a story to tell. At the end of last year, Mr. Sun Da accepted the advice of Russian affairs experts and prepared a short-term officer training school in Guangzhou. The schooling lasts for half a year and is used to cultivate the Kuomintang's own military talents. As soon as this news came out, many people in Guangzhou City were gearing up to gain a heavyweight status in the military academy. Lao Jiang was also one of them, and his target was the principal of the military academy. In his opinion, as long as he can become the principal of a military academy, he can train his own military team. There are five to six hundred students in one batch, and there are two batches a year, which is a thousand junior officers. At this rate, within three years, he would be able to raise an army's direct line troops. By that time, he, Chiang Kai-shek, was also a force that should not be underestimated among the individual stocks in the Republic of China. It is a pity that when Mr. Sun Da appointed the principal of the military academy at the beginning of the year, Lao Jiang's glass heart was suddenly shattered into slag. The principal of the Guangzhou Military Academy is Cheng Qian, who has nothing to do with Chiang Kai-shek. It¡¯s not completely irrelevant. Because Lao Jiang won the trust of Mr. Sun Da, he was appointed as the vice principal of the military academy. Along with him was the vice principal Li Liejun. Not to mention powerful factions like Cheng Qian, even Li Liejun¡¯s importance in the Kuomintang was comparable to that of Chiang Kai-shek. But Lao Jiang still wanted to be the principal. If he couldn't become the principal, he would make trouble. He felt that he only had this one chance in life, and it was snatched away by Cheng Qian. The pain in his heart had no place to express it in Guangzhou, and he was left with only frustration! Forget it for others, Cheng Qian is already the Army Chief, Chen Jiongming's original position. He is so powerful that he still covets his military academy principal? This made Lao Jiang feel resentful! Is it that difficult to build a team by yourself? Thinking that this was Mr. Sun Da¡¯s arrangement, Chiang Kai-shek felt even more uncomfortable. It was agreed that young people and cronies would be promoted, and Cheng Qian would be the principal. What the hell is this? She felt like a pink concubine who was overshadowed by an old and lustful wife. The drama of jealousy was enacted, and Lao Jiang felt that he was the frustrated one. When he got angry, Chiang Kai-shek came to Shanghai. But this time when I came to Shanghai, my image changed drastically. I don¡¯t know what he was thinking. When he was in Guangzhou, he wanted to sharpen his ambition and shaved his head to express his feelings to Mr. Sun Da. But he also didn¡¯t want to think about it. What was the first thing the Kuomintang Party, the former Revolutionary Party, did after the success of the Revolution of 1911? Just catching people on the street and cutting their braids. Cutting one's mind is simply not feasible for Mr. Sun Da. Lao Jiang's enthusiasm was once again ignored. However, although he has expressed his failure many times, Lao Jiang still feels that shaving his head is very comfortable, easy to take care of, and can form his own style. In the past, Lao Jiang sometimes felt that he was too faceless, looking like a naughty boy, which was a bit un-domineering. But since he shaved his head, he has become cynical and feels like there is a fire in his body that is about to burn or explode. Anyway, there is a feeling that I can't exert my strength. The only flaw is that I don't have a chance to display my talents. This time, facing the throne of deputy director, Lao Jiang was actually very hesitant. He didn't know who the director was? It stands to reason that the police chief and even the deputy have a lot of gray income. It was enough for him to be cool on the beach in Shanghai, but he was still young, only in his early thirties. In his life dictionary, there was never a sentence about eating and waiting to die. Even if he had such a day, he would never admit it. He is the kind of person who is obsessed with saving face. Seeing Lao Jiang hesitate. Du Yuesheng was also a little angry. In his opinion, Chiang Kai-shek didn't appreciate praise. He didn't even think about it. This was the deputy chief of the police department of a large district in Shanghai, not the deputy chief of the police department of a small local county? Many of his brothers were eyeing this position eagerly, but Du Yuesheng was worried that these people were incompetent and full of tricks and would not be able to be the deputy director, so he stopped them all. Unexpectedly, when he saw Lao Jiang, he felt kindhearted for a while, which was enough to take care of Lao Jiang, but this Lao Jiang also disliked the position of deputy director for insulting his talent. Don¡¯t even look at it. With his party background in another country, what advantages can he get from being in the Zhejiang faction? Since Zhang Jingjiang¡¯s failed mutiny in Hangzhou, the Zhejiang faction¡¯s favorability towards the Kuomintang has dropped below freezing point. But the only reason why Du Yuesheng promoted Lao Jiang was that Lao Jiang had a good relationship with Dai Li and were sworn brothers. To put it in a layman's terms, Dai Li and Lao Jiang are brothers, and Du Yuesheng and Dai Li are also sworn brothers. So Du Yuesheng and Lao Jiang are also good friends in the world, and they naturally want to help if they can. In addition, Lao Jiang had a good education and had studied abroad. Although he didn't know how he studied, his grade was much higher than that of the people in the Qinggang, so he was considered a useful talent. With Du Yuesheng¡¯s current status, he would not help Chiang Kai-shek just because he was a disciple of Huang Huangrong. Although Du Yuesheng has not grown into a qualified politician, he has entered the officialdom after all, and building relationships is naturally very different from what he used to do in the world. Dai Li's relationship is obviously much easier to use than Huang Huangrong's. Especially since he became the mayor, Huang Huangrong in turn wanted to curry favor with Du Yuesheng. It is no longer the way he used to make a living under Huang Huangrong. In fact, Lao Jiang is not a person without discernment. He could tell from Du Yuesheng's tone that the other party was a little impatient. The main reason is that I didn't agree readily enough, but deputy director, how can there be a director who acts with dignity? Just when Chiang Kai-shek was about to agree, Wang Xueqian also finished his congratulations. He called Dai Li and asked him to ask, who is the bald man in the hall? Dai Li didn¡¯t even need to ask, it must have been Chiang Kai-shek who got in again. At the banquet in Shanghai, there were a lot of people eating and drinking, but if you ask, the person with a shaved head must be Chiang Kai-shek, and he didn't run away. This guy¡¯s head shines brightly under the lights. He is the master of eating and drinking on the beach. Speaking of which, the most famous one is Lao Jiang. Dai Li's mind was spinning very fast in that moment, and each thought in his mind was crazier than the last, but he finally settled on one idea. He was worried that Wang Xueqian felt that Chiang Kai-shek's presence would lower the quality of Shanghai's upper-class banquet. Who let him in? It must be renovated! Dai Li didn't know why. He didn't know why Wang Xueqian was disgusted? It still feels like an eyesore, and it can¡¯t be a good thing anyway, right? After thinking through this level, Dai Li had a clue and decided to trick his brother: "Sir, this is a fellow from Zhejiang, named Lao Jiang. He used to hang out with Mr. Sun Da, but he didn't find any good opportunities in Guangzhou. I came to Shanghai. I really wanted to make a fortune by doing business, but how can it be so easy to do business in Shanghai? Now, I have become a frequent visitor at banquets and want to trick a financial owner." "Old Chiang? Are you all calling him that now?" Dai Li was a little surprised by Wang Xueqian's reaction. He couldn't tell whether it was surprise or disgust, but there was a sense of familiarity. He didn't know how many times Wang Xueqian and Lao Jiang had been in contact. Even if you know the past, you won¡¯t care. When asked by Wang Xueqian, Dai Li suddenly started to look at him seriously: "I didn't call him that before, but later he didn't know what was wrong with him. He shaved his head and looked more than ten years older. Even calling his friends brother didn't feel right." , I was embarrassed to call him Uncle, so I had to call him Lao Jiang. "The main reason is that he didn't originally have this image." Certain gifts are very common and a trend. What Dai Li didn't know was that Chiang Kai-shek had also sent photos to Wang Xueqian before. "Do you know each other?" Dai Li asked in shock. Wang Xueqian nodded and said: "I've met him a few times, but I'm not familiar with him. Where is he from? But this man should have some connection with you. He recommended you at the beginning." "Ningbo Fenghua." Dai Li seemed to have come back to look at him secretly. After taking a look at Wang Xueqian's expression, he felt that Wang Xueqian wanted to promote Chiang Kai-shek because he was from Ningbo and wanted to help him. Especially when I just mentioned that a few years ago, Chiang Kai-shek recommended Dai Li toWhen Xue Qian started working for the first time, he had a premonition that Lao Jiang's spring was coming. Sure enough, Wang Xueqian spoke next and asked Dai Li to confirm his guess. "The county magistrate of Fenghua is old and wants to retire. There has been no suitable arrangement, so it has been postponed until now. Go and ask him if he is willing to be the county magistrate. If he is willing to go, let Song Ziwen know. "As for why Wang Xueqian promoted Chiang Kai-shek, this reason is quite complicated for him. According to the original historical trajectory, Chiang Kai-shek would have become a brilliant figure in the mid-term of the Republic of China. This is a person who can reach the pinnacle of politics. Of course, he has a lot of luck. However, being able to allow Chiang Kai-shek to gain a firm foothold at the top level of the Kuomintang when the core decision-makers of the Kuomintang generally squeezed out the military forces shows that this person is not bad in ability, and he is also quite capable. ¡°Just imagine, in an era when powerful powers coexisted, Chiang Kai-shek could finally complete nominal unification by relying on his relatively weak strength. With this ability, he was already a top-notch figure in the Republic of China. Of course, the reason why his performance can only be said to be good, not strong, is mainly because during his period in power, domestic conflicts continued to be acute. There is no ability and courage to fundamentally solve acute problems. But compared to his competitors at the same time, he was still much better. At the same time, there were only four other people who had the ability or strength to aspire to the pinnacle of power, namely Yan Xishan, Feng Yuxiang, Zhang Xueliang and Li Zongren. Yan Xishan is timid and afraid of getting into trouble. He bullies the weak and fears the strong. Of course, he has a lot of crooked ideas, but he just doesn¡¯t have the grace to stand on the stage. Even if this person were to sit on the throne of the president, he would scare himself to death. On the contrary, hiding in one place can bring some trouble to those in power, but it is just trouble. Feng Yuxiang is even smaller-minded than Chiang Kai-shek. Not only is he small-minded towards his enemies, he is also small-minded towards his own people. Although he could lead troops and train famous generals, in history, which one of Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army was grateful to him? Everyone wants him to die, which is a good explanation. Zhang Xueliang, even less so, is a young master. That is to say, Li Zongren was somewhat capable, but his ability was only on par with Lao Jiang, and even a little inferior to Lao Jiang. Especially from a strategic perspective, historically the Gui faction was the most promising faction to take charge of the Republic of China. During the Northern Expedition, the three giants of the Guangxi Clan led the Guangxi Clan's elite soldiers and generals to conquer more than a dozen provinces. But what's the result? Is there any reason to draw a straight line from Guangxi to the north? He Jian was bribed by Chiang Kai-shek, and Li Zongren almost couldn't even return to Guangxi, which is a good illustration. Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek's level is that of a short one, even if he is slightly better than some of his competitors at the same time. But Chiang Kai-shek wants to compete with Wang Xueqian? He is not even a little bit worse. Wang Xueqian is familiar with the historical trend and has almost no wrong moves that his opponents can take advantage of. Although limited by his strength, he has not yet started to compete for hegemony, but as long as Wang Xueqian wants to kill Chiang Kai-shek, he can do it in minutes. In addition, he originally had an American background, a background in the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Consortium, and a background in the banking group. Even if Chiang Kai-shek took control of Guangdong, he became a powerful figure in the Kuomintang. You can't compete with Wang Xueqian. If you can't compete, you won't have any chance. Therefore, when Wang Xueqian gave Lao Jiang a chance, he didn¡¯t have to worry about Lao Jiang having distracting thoughts. Instead, he would shed tears of gratitude. Because it was for the sake of the fellow countryman's sake that I gave him a hand. ??Besides, the position of county magistrate is in Fenghua. Where is Fenghua? Lao Jiang¡¯s hometown! He is only in his early thirties and can be the county magistrate in his hometown. What is this? Good luck or not. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out??? The Chiang Family Ancestral Hall in Fenghua is about to emit green smoke. This honor is not much smaller than when Du Yuesheng became the mayor of Shanghai. Because Chiang Kai-shek is a different person. He has no foundation, no team, and nothing. He spent the best years of his life fooling around with Mr. Sun Da, and most of the time he played the role of a minion, which is considered inferior. of little people. Du Yuesheng is the boss of the Shanghai Youth Gang, someone who can control the situation. This was Dai Li's inner evaluation of Chiang Kai-shek. Unexpectedly, time turned around and Wang Xueqian saw it and gave him a chance. " Don't look at Lao Jiang who said when he was at the banquet all day long: He is waiting for the most important noble person in life, and he is here to try his luck. But he said so much that he didn¡¯t even believe it himself. So when Dai Li hurriedly found Lao Jiang and told him the news, Lao Jiang's eyes were dull for a while, and then he laughed: "Yunong, you are joking with me again." Dai Li wanted to slap Lao Jiang on the spot. , to wake up this fool who had just hit the jackpot, he approached Lao Jiang with an evil look in his eyes, and his penis was as fierce as an executioner's under the scorching sun.He said word by word: "Do you want me to ask the king to invite you in person?" "What you said is true!" After Lao Jiang was shocked, he was filled with ecstasy. County magistrate? Although he has a high official position, it is too shameful to serve as the county magistrate in his hometown! It would be even better if I could go to Ningbo and become the mayor. Feeling happy in his heart, Lao Jiang decided to go and thank Wang Xueqian in person, but Dai Li immediately stopped him and said with an evil look in his eyes: "You still don't believe me?" "No, I am just happy, the kind of happiness that cannot be expressed in words." Lao Jiang The happiness and joy on his face are not fake, but his eyes are a bit cunning! Dai Li was a little unsure. He felt that Chiang Kai-shek had given him a hard time, and he couldn't help but doubt: Can being an official really change a person? To be continued.
