As a bystander, Du Yuesheng showed the magnanimity expected of a big man in the world. Since Lao Jiang was able to climb a high branch, he did not show a trace of displeasure, at least on his face. "Brother, you are in for good luck. Congratulations on being able to serve as a parent official in your hometown. Forget it, I just pretend that my brother has not said anything. We can exchange some experiences on being an official in our hometown." "Brother Du!" "Oh! , I was born in the 14th year of Guangxu's reign. You and I are similar in age, so why not just use our names?" Du Yuesheng wanted to give himself a name to show that he was educated and a scholar. But after being laughed at by Yang Du for a while, he gave up the idea. Lao Jiang did have words, and he followed the way of a scholar. The name in the family tree is Jiang Zhoutai, which was given by the old man after he was born. He went to school and had a scientific name, Jiang Zhiqing. When he entered the political arena, although he was a low-ranking little person and a minion, he also gave himself a grand image. name; he has written articles and has a pen name Of course, it is not surprising that there are "words" that only scholars can use. Du Yuesheng told her the year of her birth. Naturally, Chiang Kai-shek couldn't call him eldest brother with a shameful face. He was born in the 13th year of Guangxu's reign, and was one year older than Du Yuesheng. It would be a bit shameless to scream like before. Of course, Chiang Kai-shek could insist on calling him according to Huang Huangrong¡¯s seniority. Anyway, Du Yuesheng joined the Youth Gang much earlier than him. Calling me brother doesn't count as a loss of status. But that's what he can call him as an idler. Once he enters the officialdom, he should cut off ties with the gangs outside. As a result, Lao Jiang was a little unable to cope with it. He just smiled awkwardly: "Will it look raw?" Facing Lao Jiang's troubled face, Du Yuesheng said a few words of relief. Lao Jiang had just agreed to serve as the deputy chief of the police department of a branch in Shanghai. Unexpectedly, as time passed, he was spotted by Wang Xueqian and became the county magistrate of Fenghua, Ningbo. " Fortune plays its tricks on people. If he had known this outcome, he would not have said anything about letting Chiang Kai-shek become an official in Shanghai. And he is also a big official. Although, the county magistrate of a small county only has a bright future. But where should we divide it? Du Yuesheng had wanted to return to his hometown to show off before. To put it mildly, he wanted to return to his hometown in fine clothes. It would be best if he could become the mayor of Gaoqiao Town, so that everyone in the Du family would have face. If he were given the job of being the county magistrate of Chuansha County, I'm afraid Du Yuesheng would shed tears of gratitude. When Lao Jiang became the county magistrate of Fenghua, it was equivalent to putting money on the face of Lao Jiang¡¯s family. Most people cannot refuse such an invitation. What's more, Lao Jiang has no source of income at all during these days. If he takes up the position of county magistrate, it is too small and he doesn't want to go. Not to mention Dai Li would not treat him well, even Du Yuesheng would look down on him. There are many people who are very ambitious, and they all have great abilities, but even if they are clumsy, they don't see what Chiang Kai-shek is capable of. Not to mention people like Du Yuesheng and Dai Li, even among the Kuomintang brothers who were close to Chiang Kai-shek, they didn¡¯t see that he had any great abilities. This is also the reason why Chiang Kai-shek failed to compete for the Guangzhou Military Academy. He only had study experience in Baoding and Japan's Zhenwu School. But he has never had any experience in leading soldiers in the army. Of course, he didn't even want to say that he had served as an intern in the Japanese army. In the Japanese military, there is a term called NCO Cadet. This is the probation period for the military to prepare students for admission to the Army NCO School. Students studying military affairs in Japan during the Republic of China will not have an inspection period, but they will also be arranged to spend about half a year in the Japanese army to adapt to military life. Chiang Kai-shek entered the Artillery Regiment of the Thirteenth Division of the Japanese Army for a six-month internship. Later, the Revolution of 1911 began, and Chiang Kai-shek was summoned by the Kuomintang headquarters and returned to the Republic of China with a large number of students studying in Japan. His internship phase has come to an end. At that time, his boss and the wing commander all signed the documents indicating the end of his internship. According to these documents, he could successfully enter the Army Noncommissioned Officer School and become an officer cadet. Later, after the victory of the Revolution of 1911, the Kuomintang began to carve up the domestic political territory. Chiang Kai-shek had never attended Lu Shi for a day, and he also got a position as regimental commander under Chen Qimei, so he had no intention of returning to Japan to continue his studies at the sergeant school. . ¡°If he could have failed in the first war of protecting the law, that is, when he entered the Army Sergeant School in the third year of the Republic of China, he would not have lost to Cheng Qian in Guangzhou. Because before graduating from the Army Sergeant School, he will serve as a junior officer intern in the Japanese army. With this experience, it is considered as gold plating success. Unfortunately, Lao Jiang stubbornly believed that studying could no longer change his destiny. In the end, fate still played a joke on him. This time, the blow almost made him unable to get up. Lao Jiang was not a strong person, especially his willpower, otherwise he would not have determined to become a decent person, but he was often tempted by prostitutes who dressed up and ostentatiously on the streets to recruit wild men, but he regretted it afterwards. Calling myself a beast in my diaryTheir behavior is worse than that of pigs and dogs. But he also has a good side. Although his self-control is still insufficient, it is gradually developing towards a good side. Now the ordinary goods on the street can no longer tempt him. As for Chiang Kai-shek¡¯s experience in the Japanese army, he would not tell it even if he was beaten to death. Because his work in the Japanese Thirteenth Division was so shameful that he felt that speaking out would bring shame to the ancestors of the Chiang family. What did he do as an intern in the Japanese army? Feed the horses. That¡¯s right, in the army of the Republic of China, one could be called Ma Bian, or one could be called a groom. Anyway, it was a shabby job and very embarrassing. But in the Japanese army, horse feeding and cannon shooting were the two major professional and technical branches of the Japanese army. In the era of lack of mechanization, the Japanese Army had a large number of horses. A division may even have more than 7,000 horses of various types, which was a guarantee for the rapid response of the army. The status is almost as important as the artillery. Because of the large number, horse-raising professionals in the Japanese army will be valued. Especially Japanese middle- and high-level officers will feed their own horses, and even some generals will continue this tradition. It's not a shameful job in Japan, and it's quite a proud job, but in the Republic of China, it was a low-level job, and if you tell me, your grade will be lowered a lot. If Lao Jiang said with a face that he was studying in Japan and ended up working as a horse breeder, even he would be so ashamed that he would not be able to say it out loud. So much so that someone asked Chiang Kai-shek, what would he do as an intern in the Japanese army? Chiang Kai-shek would utter the word "fooling around" in embarrassment. Even those who were preparing to promote him were a little doubtful. Is Chiang Kai-shek really capable of taking on important responsibilities? But now that everything has passed, Lao Jiang feels that a new life is approaching him, and his life will have a completely different start because of this change. So it¡¯s not surprising that Lao Jiang decided to leave a good impression on his new customers. Wang Xueqian was ready to leave less than halfway through the banquet. In fact, most important people would leave the banquet early. The social interaction they need has been completed soon after the banquet begins. With the departure of heavyweights such as Lee Farrar and Kijuro Utahara, the banquet will be handed over to young people. Their presence will ruin the atmosphere of the banquet and cause too much pressure. , young people dare not release. Old Jiang saw the opportunity and caught up with Wang Xueqian and his party who were about to leave. His reckless action almost caused Dai Li's men to go into action and pull out their guns. Fortunately, Dai Li stopped him and told Chiang Kai-shek to wait and report to Wang Xueqian. Standing in front of Wang Xueqian, Lao Jiang looked very calm. He is not a person who has stage fright, but is very courageous. Taking a deep breath, Lao Jiang decided to say a few words to show his determination: "Wang Governor, thank you for giving me an opportunity to show my ability. I will seize it and make Fenghua a model county where no one picks up things on the road and does not close doors at night." "Model county?" Lao Jiang was a man of good face. He felt that the word 'model' was very insightful and could show his outstanding ability. However, Song Ziwen next to him felt that Chiang Kai-shek was a bit overjoyed, a model county? Take Fenghua as the standard? He looked at his subordinate with unkind eyes, and Lao Jiang knew nothing about it. How did he know that he would make a living under Song Ziwen in the future? "Model county? What are the standards? What is Ningbo's development direction? Do you know all this?" If Song Ziwen were an outsider, asking people in Zhejiang's official circles would be a bit presumptuous. But he has decided to enter Zhejiang officialdom and is no longer an outsider. It is a test conducted by a superior to his subordinates. "Lao Jiang took a closer look and found out that they were 'enemies'. He had known for a long time that Song Ziwen and Zhang Jingjiang were not going to deal with them. Later, Zhang Jingjiang also said in the telegram that Mr. Sun Da had been persuaded by Zhang Jingjiang and planned to let Lao Jiang become the principal of the military academy. But when he was about to succeed, he was ruined by Song Ziwen. When both of them were under the banner of the Kuomintang, they were not enemies. It¡¯s just that they didn¡¯t look at each other, and Song Ziwen was not targeting Chiang Kai-shek, but Zhang Jingjiang. Lao Jiang was just lying on his back and took the blame for Zhang Jingjiang. Wang Xueqian didn't know the past between the two, and he had no intention of finding out. He was curious. As soon as Lao Jiang decided to go to Fenghua to be the county magistrate, he put forward a slogan to make Fenghua a model county. He wanted to know what the model county mentioned by Lao Jiang would ultimately look like. This matter needs to be explained in detail, and it cannot be explained clearly at the banquet, so after Lao Jiang was admitted to the Zhejiang Department, he relied on his own cleverness and luck, and relied on his status as a county magistrate, who could not be any smaller, to obtain Wang Xueqian is qualified to be summoned alone. "Don't rush to say it now. Go back and think about how to do a good job in Fenghua's government affairs and meet the standards of a model county." Wang Xueqian stopped and wanted to explain.Lao Jiang gave him a chance to relax, then turned to Chen Bulei and told him: "Cancel tomorrow morning's schedule and give him two hours." "Yes, sir." Chen Bulei said meticulously. responded. Dai Li was then asked to schedule Wang Xueqian¡¯s meeting with Chiang Kai-shek tomorrow. He had just entered the Zhejiang officialdom and was taken seriously before he took office. It seems that Chiang Kai-shek's official career in Zhejiang will be very stable. Dai Li also sighed secretly in his heart, this guy's luck is really incredible. After shaving his head, he obtained the official position of county magistrate with real power. Then he foolishly almost collided with Wang Xueqian, the "Southeast King", but was taken seriously and received alone. Presumably, in the next few years, Lao Jiang will be very successful in the officialdom, or he will be promoted in a few years. As Wang Xueqian's territory became more and more stable, his officials had fewer and fewer opportunities for promotion. Unless Wang Xueqian turns on the hegemony mode and expands to all directions, he can only wait for his boss to move. Chen Brai would not tell Lao Jiang that this opportunity was rare. After all, Lao Jiang would also know that the favor of the big boss is not so easy to get. He just got such a favored opportunity. But Dai Li is different, and his days with Wang Xueqian are also endless. In addition, I have a good relationship with Lao Jiang, so I am willing to help him. So I explained to him more clearly: "Old Jiang, be fully prepared. There are many people summoned by the big boss, but you are the first person with an official position. You must seize the opportunity!" Old Jiang was also very worried. , he felt that what he just said seemed to go too far. But if he changes his mind, it may not be easy. He can only bite the bullet and agree: "I will try my best to satisfy the King Governor!" After Dai Li gave a few instructions, he caught up with Wang Xueqian's entourage and left the banquet hall. At this time, Miss Song San put on a coat. Although she was not as glamorous as she was on the stage just now, she had an extra free and easy temperament. In particular, the unique formula of the French court perfume family has a unique smell that is beyond the mainstream perfume. The fragrance is already lingering on the tip of the nose before anyone arrives. Lao Jiang suddenly turned around and found that it was the young lady who had just translated for Wang Xueqian on the stage. Looking at her up close, she seemed to be emitting the light of a goddess, which made him extremely excited. Men, when they see the woman they like, often have a moment of inability to extricate themselves. Some are longer, some are shorter, but Lao Jiang's self-control is really worrying. Anyway, when Miss Song San looked at him, she didn't know his virtues, but in Miss Song San's eyes, he looked like a pig, which was disgusting. Miss Song San was dazzled by Lao Jiang's bald head, but without taking a closer look, she just walked out by Song Ziwen's arm. Lao Jiang did not know that Miss Song San was Song Ziwen's biological sister. Instead, he determined that Miss Song San was Song Ziwen's new girlfriend or even his wife. In Shanghai, it is more open than other places in the Republic of China, and men and women do not restrict their behavior outside. Intimate gestures can often be seen. When Lao Jiang saw this scene, he suddenly thought angrily: "The pigs have eaten all the good cabbage!" But Miss Song San still kept on joking to Song Ziwen and said: "That man's head just now was so funny, like a head." "Big Peanut." Old Jiang originally had a noble admiration for Miss Song San, but of course he would not say it out loud because their status was not equal. And he's married too. But when the derogatory description "peanut" was pressed on his head by Miss Song San, Lao Jiang's heart was broken. The glory of the goddess was no longer there, and she became a female nerve. Gritting his teeth, he watched the Song brothers and sisters disappear from sight. (To be continued.)
