Only when you become a warlord can you truly expand your army.
Generally, warlords can control troops, the number of which ranges from 10,000 to 100,000.
Only by becoming a warlord can you have enough tax revenue to support so many soldiers. Otherwise, one or two cities will not be able to support so many soldiers.
Of course, now the governor is not called the governor, but the governor.
Only after Yuan Datou dies will his name be changed to Governor.
The era of warlords was also a period of melee war between warlords. Only with an army can one be a good commander.
A very important factor in this is to have a lot of money, be able to support an army, and have good connections.
The governor holds the military power of a province, and the governor has the most political power, but the power comes from the barrel of a gun, so the governor is a marginal figure, while the governor is the leader and has the final say in everything.
However, many human governors are empty and do not have much strength.
Most warlords look majestic on the surface, but in reality they are like"paper tigers" and cannot withstand a beating.
They are enemies of each other, just greedy for personal money in the name of raising soldiers.
For example, if there are 10,000 soldiers, but they are actually only a few thousand, they will pocket the empty pay.
It is just for money, there is no army at all, let alone fear.
Later, he was beaten to a pulp by the Northern Expeditionary Army, which proved this. However, a very small number of military governors are still able to"reinforce their presence" because they not only have a large number of troops, but also have strong combat effectiveness, such as Yan Xishan in western Shanxi and Zhang Zuolin in Fengtian.
The governors of the Republic of China appeared in front of the world with all their might, some were really majestic, and some were just showing off. Only the person involved knows what it feels like, and one still has to rely on strength to get around.
Affected by financial strength, the military strength of each warlord is different.
The warlords of the Feng clan have strong economic strength and can possess the three armies of the sea, land and air force at the same time.
There are more than 200 aircraft, dozens of warships, 7 armies with a strength of more than 500,000,23 and a series of military-industrial enterprises with sufficient weapons, making it the strongest army.
It's a pity that the old marshal didn't allow the young marshal to fire a single shot.
At its peak, the Yunnan clique's warlords ruled southern Yunnan and Qianzhou provinces and parts of Sichuan, but their military strength was only 150,000, which was much less than that of the Fengcian clique's warlords.
In addition, the gap in the armaments of the same warlord in different periods is also large.
For example, at its peak, the Zhili Warlords had 18 divisions, 18 independent brigades, 14 ships, and a total force of 600,000.
But in the later stage, there were only 6 ships left.
Yanxishan is relatively stable. It has held the top spot in western Shanxi for decades and no one can shake it.
At this moment, Shen Hao even imagined that he would make a fortune after becoming the warlord.
When Cao Yuanzheng saw Shen Hao's grin, he immediately smiled and said,"Brother Shen, I haven't gotten my wife yet, so I'll make you happy.
But let me tell you, you also have competitors."
Shen Hao said,"Oh, who is it?"
Cao Yuanzheng said:"Yin Tiege, the son of Yinchang, a powerful man in Manchuria."
Shen Hao smiled and said:"I don't know much about Yuan Fuzhen and Yin Tiege. I have to trouble Brother Cao to tell me more about the inside story, so that I can understand better. Understood.
Only in this way can we win by surprise."
Cao Yuanzheng smiled and said:"This Yin Tiege is a playboy. He often has affairs outside and lives with his new love outside.
His father Yinchang is a minister of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and was a diplomat before.
In March of the first year of the Republic of China (1912), after President Yuan Da took office as the President of the Republic of China, Yinchang quickly took refuge with President Yuan Da. Now he serves as the Attendant Military Attache and Chief of the Military Department in the Presidential Palace, looking after President Yuan Da’s home and nursing home..
Although he is just a caretaker of the house, he is still a close minister of the emperor. There are seven-rank officials in front of the prime minister, not to mention the president.
You think so?"
Shen Hao nodded, feeling enlightened in his heart.
"But you don’t have to worry, the key depends on the opinion of the president’s seventh daughter Yuan Fuzhen"
"It would be really timely to have more information about Brother Cao." Shen Hao really meant what he said.
Cao Yuanzheng put his arm around Shen Hao's shoulders and said,"Why should my brother be so polite? Of course I hope you can become President Yuan's guest. Long is about to have a son-in-law.
Compared to that playboy, you are much better.
Another point is that your weight in the heart of President Yuan Da is much higher than that of that playboy, and his father Yinchang is not as good as him."
Hearing what Cao Yuanzheng said, Shen Hao felt very comfortable.
"Don’t worry, Brother Cao, if I have something to eat from now on, I will definitely not miss you."
"Hahaha, easy to say, easy to say, who among us brothers is going to fight with whom?
Maybe I won’t be able to survive in the future, so I’ll have to rely on you."
"What are you talking about? Brother Cao will definitely rise step by step, and I still count on Brother Cao to support me," Shen Hao said with a smile;
"Haha, Brother Shen, you still know how to speak."
After Cao Yuanzheng finished speaking, he changed the topic and said again:"Brother Shen, although President Yuan has 17 sons, only the eldest son Yuan Keding is a direct descendant and is currently in politics.
The other 16 are all concubines, so what's their use?
But the eldest son Yuan Keding's ability is really mediocre, and he will not make any achievements in the future.
If you become the son-in-law of President Yuan Da, your political career will definitely be very smooth."
Hearing this, Shen Hao nodded.
This eldest son Yuan Keding and Shen Hao knew that, like Li Shimin's prince, he fell from a horse and became a lame.
But now It seems that he is not lame yet.
His abilities are mediocre, mostly related to his family's education.
Yuan Datou has been busy with military and political affairs, fighting to the death, and has no intention of educating his children.
Although Yuan Keding's biological mother, Yu, is the daughter of a large landowner, her education level is extremely low. She has no knowledge and is almost equivalent to a village woman.
Yuan Keding is a staunch advocate of monarchy, and the purpose of doing this is of course to take over.
Fortunately, Yuan Datou is not stupid and did not choose him at all, otherwise he would be greeted not with the throne but with the throne. It's a bullet.
This guy Yuan Keding has no ability, but he is arrogant and spends a lot of money.
When he was the branch director, most of the profits from the big tobacco pipes copied by Shen Hao from gambling houses were taken by Yuan Keding for his expenses. Immediately
, Cao Yuanzheng smiled mysteriously and said:"However, you can also take away the relationship between the second young master Yuan Kewen and let his biological mother and adoptive mother turn a deaf ear. This seventh lady's matter is not easy to grasp."
Shen Hao is a The face asked:"Biological mother, adoptive mother?
Cao Yuanzheng explained:"You don't know something. The second young master Yuan Kewen has a special status."
He is the son of the president's third concubine, Mrs. Kim.
The Jin family is not from our Long Kingdom, but President Yuan married a local woman during the Chaoxian period.
The second son's adoptive mother, President Yuan Da, dotes on his aunt Shen very much.
Shen was originally a famous prostitute in Suzhou, and President Yuan met her when he visited a brothel.
Later, the Sino-Japanese War broke out, and President Yuan fled back to China. He was afraid of being condemned by the court, so he hid in the Shen family's brothel.
In order to save President Yuan, Shen used all the savings she had accumulated as a prostitute to help him take care of him. Only then was he convicted by the court and reused.
Therefore, President Yuan Da was very grateful to Mrs. Shen, even though she was a bitch, he married her as his concubine and had a high status in the government.
Back then, prostitutes had to take a lot of traditional Chinese medicine for sterilization after entering the industry, resulting in lifelong infertility, so Shen had no offspring.
After the Jin family gave birth to Yuan Kewen, the second son of President Yuan Da, he was forced by President Yuan Da to adopt him to the Shen family.
Shen was born as a prostitute. Although she was very smart, proficient in playing, playing and singing, and also studied calligraphy and painting, she did not know how to educate children.
Yuan Kewen was raised by the Shen family. Although he was familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, he did not follow them. Instead, he loved all kinds of nonsense.
It can be said that the second son Yuan Kewen is very good at everything in the kiln, and is even proficient in Kun Opera.
When he became an adult, he loved women and married six wives and concubines. Then he kept numerous mistresses, as many as seventy or eighty.
In addition to women, Yuan Kewen also loved smoking cigarettes and spent an unknown amount of money to buy first-class opium.
In addition, he also loves Kun Opera and has always tried to perform on stage.
Opera singers in this era belonged to the lower class, with the same status as prostitutes and beggars. Of course, President Yuan Da did not allow his son to sing in public.
So as long as you please the second young master Yuan Kewen, your aunt Shen will come forward and turn a deaf ear to you.
Kim will also help."
Second Young Master Yuan Kewen? Isn't this one of the Four Young Masters of the Republic of China?
He is as famous as Zhang Xueliang.
Shen Hao asked doubtfully:"Then what's going on with this and Second Young Master Yuan Kewen's biological mother, the Jin family?"
Cao Yuanzheng smiled obscenely and said,"Brother Shen, you don't know something about this.
The seventh lady, Yuan Fuzhen, was born to President Yuan Da and his fourth concubine, Mrs. Wu.
President Yuan Da's third concubine is Princess Jin of the Chaoxian royal family, and this Wu is one of the two maids in the marriage.
She was born in a humble background, so President Yuan did not favor her. She was the one with a relatively low presence among President Yuan's many concubines.
But the daughter she gave birth to, Yuan Fuzhen, was extremely beautiful.
This Yuan Fuzhen listens to his mother. Her mother is the dowry maid of the third concubine Jin, so of course she listens to the third concubine.
Of course the Jin family hopes that their biological son and second son, Yuan Kewen, will be happy?
So the key here is the second young master.
Besides liking women, this guy is a big smoker.
There are many women in the eight alleys, but this high-quality Bangladeshi smoke cream is a good thing, Brother Shen, you know.
Just in case, I think it's best for you to deal with the second young master."
After listening to Cao Yuanzheng's explanation, Shen Hao understood the key to this.
He couldn't help but sigh, this box of fireworks is worth it.
Shen Hao cupped his fists and said,"Thank you, Brother Cao, for your advice, but how do I get to know the second young master Yuan Kewen? I never yelled at him before"
"Coincidentally, the second young master likes to sing, and he has a good friend named Jin Yanxi." Cao Yuanzheng patted Shen Hao on the shoulder and said with a smile;
"Thank you Brother Cao for your guidance, it really saved me countless detours," Shen Hao said happily;
"Haha, it's easy to say, Brother Shen, you have taken care of the second son Yuan Kewen, and it will be much easier to enter President Yuan's house," Cao Yuanzheng said;
"It was worth coming today. Brother Cao, just wait for my good news."
"They all say they are brothers" (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
"I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. It’s getting late today. After everything is done, I will definitely come and thank you again."
"Hahaha, okay, then remember to come often. When the time comes, don’t forget your brother when you become famous."
"I will never forget Brother Cao."
Immediately, Shen Hao and Cao Yuanzheng exchanged a few polite words and stood up to leave.
After returning, Shen Hao was ready to contact Jin Yanxi.
As for making friends with the second young master Yuan Kewen, Shen Hao didn't think so What a burden.
There are more than 20 boxes of large tobacco paste in his space ring.
I originally thought about destroying it with some lime that day in the spotlight, but now it seems that this stuff seems to be very useful. Give it as a gift and it smells great.!
Those who were tricked were not ordinary people, but some powerful people. In fact, Shen Hao didn't have much burden in his heart.
It would be a good thing for these moths to die more..
