Chapter 106 Thoughts
Standing alone on the open-air garden-style balcony, Zhong Yang's eyes were deep, staring at the moonlight like water that was swaying from the night sky, as if it was dreamy for a moment.
The waves on the coast hit the reefs, and the bursting roar came from afar, and it lasted for a long time.
It has been more than two years since I came to this place. The young man with sincerity and tiny on his face that day was gone, and was replaced by a cold face and a consolidating look. Unconsciously, Zhong Yang also quickly changed his mentality and way of thinking according to actual needs. Compared with his personal emotions and values, he cared more about the path he wanted to take.
Under the biological body transformation technology provided by the smart factory, Zhong Yang's entire physical condition has been very different from the past. Not only is the various attributes of the body enhanced, but his mentality has also deepened a lot. Because the absorption and supply methods of energy in the body have changed, the brain has received sufficient energy supply, and the development level has reached 7%, which is enough to double the speed of thinking.
The most important thing is that Zhong Yang no longer needs to rely on sleep to replenish the mental power he consumed, but can devote more time and energy to the affairs of the ancient Chinese Society.
In essence, the contradiction between Zhong Yang and Sun Yixian is not actually about whether to be patriotism. Compared with Zhong Yang, Sun Yixian is undoubtedly more suitable to be a leader. In order to achieve his goal, he can use any means to eliminate dissidents in the system, rely on plunder to grow rapidly, and use something that is not his own to exchange for the benefits given by the great powers.
These are all the means of heroes. Compared with Chen Jiongming's fear of being timid, Sun Yixian's unscrupulousness is easier to succeed. No wonder many people from the Guangdong Army have changed to Sun's subordinates. This is really the sorrow of a chaotic world. The world cannot tolerate good people, that's it.
If you want to accumulate strength and wealth quickly, robbery will always be faster than operating, especially when you are in troubled times, this is even more clear. If Zhong Yang does not have a smart factory and wants to start from scratch, he can only embark on such a heroic path.
Ruthless, cold, resolute, firm, and useless means to exclude dissidents, do not take all etiquette and morality to heart, and do not care about the interests that have nothing to do with oneself. Only such people can achieve hegemony with the ambition to swallow the world. Sun Yixian chose such a dictator's path. As long as he wins, countless darkness can be embellished and buried, so that the people can only see the bright side. Even the bright side may not be needed, and it can be made out of thin air. If you tell too many lies, it will naturally become the truth.
In terms of attitude towards the people, Zhong Yang and Sun Yixian have the same ideas. Only those in their own system are worth cherishing. This has nothing to do with conscience, but is just a necessary choice for those who are superior in troubled times.
The real focus of the conflict between the two sides is still on the conflict of the road. Zhong Yang wants to establish a joint system of law on people, while Sun Yixian really wants to take dictatorship and rule of man. The two paths are not only completely different in the direction at the beginning, but will also have severe conflicts of interest in the future. Once the Sun clan people sit on the highest throne, they will inevitably seek the business system established by Zhong Yang, and this contradiction cannot be reconciled.
Therefore, Zhong Yang must make plans early. It is meaningless to use force. Instead of taking the risk of not knowing whether he can completely eliminate a political group that is already familiar and has experience in cooperation, it is better to cooperate first and then arrange important personnel to enter the other party's system to inquire about information.
It is meaningless to use force to kill a certain person or a certain dictatorial party, because other places will give birth to new homogeneous groups but replace them. What's more, the revolutionary party is deeply rooted in this land, and it is like weeds. Thinking about the Qing Dynasty and the later Yuan Shikai, the revolutionary party was unable to completely destroy the revolutionary party, Zhong Yang did not feel that he had such confidence.
But even though I know, Zhong Yang himself has no good impression of people like Sun Yixian. And he doesn't want to take that path. He wants to try whether China has other paths to take. But he is not sure what the future results will be. Therefore, the ancient Chinese language he guided will first use Guangdong and Guangxi as a test point instead of rashly deciding to promote the country.
In the strategy decided by Zhong Yang, we must wait until Sun Yixian leaves, but this matter cannot be achieved in a short period of time, and we still need patience and waiting. The revolutionary party’s foundation is unstable now, and the Northern Expedition will definitely return without success. At that time, Chen Jiongming will inevitably take the blame. With Sun Yixian’s character, it would be magical not to blame others for the murder of Song Jiaoren back then. The murder of Song Jiaoren was an example. Although there was no evidence to prove that he did it, politics did not require evidence, and it would be enough to use your brain.
The core members of the Guwenwen Association all know what kind of person Zhong Yang is, and what kind of organization Guwen Association is. Tianyu Technology and Tianxing Chamber of Commerce jointly formed a huge light industry enterprise Tianxing Group. The main decision makers seem to be Zhong Yang, Chen Ze, Liu Jinyang, Yi Zhongming and others. In fact, the Guwen Association is the core of the organization. Tianxing Group is an external institution, but in essence, this is a system, and everyone in it is indispensable.
Whether it is Zhong Yang or others, any major resolution must be summoned to make decisions. The operation of the entire system must be mainly to take care of the interests of all core members, and there is no such statement of betrayal or loyalty. Everyone's unity is because of the similarity of interests and ideas. Zhong Yang tried his best to establish such an organization, not just for himself, but people within the entire system are beneficiaries.
In such a situation, the price of betrayal is very high, because the traitors harm the interests of everyone and will inevitably be attacked by the group. Whether it is Tianyu Technology, Xinghua Chamber of Commerce, or Yi Zhongming's Qingzhu Chemical, they are essentially part of the entire system, and no one can get enough benefits from this system.
Tianyu Technology needs sufficient financial resources and technical support from smart factories. It also needs to conduct joint research with Qingzhu Chemical in production processes. The Xinghua Chamber of Commerce also needs key products and intelligence support provided by the system. As for other production and research departments, they must rely on the entire internal system. In this case, who can get out of the system? Who is willing to get out of the system?
Whether it is Chen Ze or Liu Jinyang, the greater the achievements they achieve, the more they will have, the more they will have a huge dependence on ancient Chinese. Whether it is interests, ideas, or personal emotions, ancient Chinese will be their destination and core. It is because of this that Zhong Yang can sit peacefully in the president's position and watch the changes in the trend.
He is not a politician who cares about the country and the people, nor is he an ambitious man who uses any means to achieve his goals. He just wants to stand silently in the shadow of the world and watch the changes in the situation calmly. He just stands leisurely on the open balcony, bathing in the cold wind like water, and staring at the starry sky above his head.
That touch of thought floated into the distance under the dim moonlight.
With Chen Jiongming returning victoriously, Sun Yixian also started the Northern Expedition he had been preparing for in Guilin. Everyone in the Guwen Society was pessimistic about all this. The Northern Expedition would inevitably fail, but the biggest problem was Sun Yixian's subsequent actions. In order to make up for the losses in reputation and actual interests, the Northern Expedition Army returned to the army to invade Guangdong was almost a foreseeable future.
The most important thing is that the Ancient Chinese Society must cultivate a new team that can counterbalance the Northern Expedition Army on the surface. Li Zongren and Huang Shaohong from the Guangxi clan gradually entered the vision of the Ancient Chinese Society. Among them, Huang Shaohong is Huang Shaoguang's cousin, and there are many places to be used here.
Moreover, although the current Guizhou warlords are in a dilemma, they still have strength. Li Zongren, Huang Shaohong, Bai Chongxi and other new Guangxi three giants are also in a downturn.
On September 20, Wang Liwen and others from Tangwei Camp followed Wei Bangping's troops to fight and captured Longzhou. The old Guangxi factions such as Lu Rongting and Chen Bingkun were no longer able to make up for the situation.
However, according to the news that Chen Ze found out from the Guangdong Army, although Li Zongren is still a small battalion commander, he led more than a thousand defeated soldiers gathered under his command and fled into the 60,000 mountains. However, Zhong Yang knew that this person was not simple. In order to grasp this piece that is crucial in the future, Zhong Yang had to make plans earlier.
Guangdong, Guangxi and the entire South China Sea are the necessary foundations for the rise of the ancient Chinese Society. Other places can be "save" the revolutionary party. For this reason, he arranged for Huang Shaoguang to lead a secret force to the junction of Guangdong and Guangxi, and entered the interior of the 60,000 mountains, intending to contact Li Zongren.
Huang Shaoguang was originally from Guangxi, and his cousin was Huang Shaohong. With these relationships, it was most appropriate to have contact with Li Zongren and the others.
As a deacon of the Finance Department of the Guwen Association, he has a clear understanding of the tremendous abilities of the entire organization, so he also has full confidence in this task.
Wearing a brand new thick military uniform and bulletproof vest, and a steel helmet on his head, he treks among the mountains in the cold season. The 60,000 mountains across the border between Guangdong and Guangxi provinces are rolling and undulating peaks, with steep mountains. Looking up from the bottom of the mountain, it looks like a pile of tides caused by the wind, rushing towards the sky.
From the highest point of the mountain, it is also crowded together like countless prehistoric giant beasts with mixed colors. Some stand and some lie on the ground, with different shapes. Sixty thousand mountains are one of the most famous bandit nests in Guangxi. It is as famous as the 100,000 mountains and forty-eight troughs. The bandits appear in the mountains, kill and rob, kill and rob, and passers-by hear about it, and they all talk about the change of tigers. It is really a gloomy place!
Huang Shaoguang led more than 30 carefully selected veterans with mountain combat experience and walked into the 60,000 mountains. The mountains were deserted, the houses were in ruins, and there were rare people. The peaks on all sides were clear and the rocks were abrupt. Even a small piece of flat land for garrisons could not be easily found. Relying on a remote communication system provided by Zhong Yang, Huang Shaoguang would not feel bored. Otherwise, he would stay with a group of soldiers with a cold face and come to this rarely visited deep mountains and forests, and he would be suffocated to death.
Because I was not familiar with the road, I found a mountaineer who collected herbs as a guide, and the group moved in the rugged forests.
The troops were trapped and exhausted. At dusk, Wang Jun ordered camping. Twenty-two people, surrounded by mountains and valleys, set up marching tents, and smoke rose by the mountain valley. Wang Jun was the captain of the special operations team and a special department of the Xuantie Security Company. The main task was not to fight head-on, but to carry out various complex tasks. It can be said to be a well-trained special combat team.
The main task of Wang Jun leading the team this time was to protect Huang Shaoguang. Huang Shaoguang was plump and handsome, but his tall body was a gentle and delicate face, which was very serious and majestic, but he was a little obscene when smiling. Wang Jun was a soldier with a stereotyped face and a strong personality. He always had a face with a national character. No one had ever seen him laugh.
Because he focused on military education in special operations and obtained corresponding training brochures from the German Army, Xuantie Security Company was at the forefront of China in military training. Of course, the reason why soldiers can tolerate high-intensity training and are fearless in combat has little to do with training, and it is related to the distribution of interests within the system.
Xuantie Security Company provided generous benefits, promised to take care of the family of the joiners, and rewarded their military merits to discuss their duties, which greatly boosted morale. Only when the soldiers had hope, they naturally had motivation, which essentially improved the quality of the army. The rest of the matter was a little trick and was optional.
Under the guidance of this mountaineering man, Huang Shaoguang and Wang Jun spent 4 days to find Li Zongren's troops. Because of the great defeat at the time, the troops fled in panic and did not provide much supplies. Now they have not received any supplies for a long time. The original number of more than 1,000 people were left, and they were in a state of dying due to hunger and disease.
"Sir, we have found the target, just 2 kilometers ahead." Standing straight, Wang Jun reported to Huang Shaoguang in a standard military posture.
"Okay, I understand. In order to avoid misunderstandings, let a soldier take some daily necessities and remember not to carry weapons!" In order to avoid misunderstandings, Huang Shaoguang also specifically instructed that he was the commander of the character this time and had the power to command these things.
Just as Huang Shaoguang arrived, Li Zongren was also worried about his future. Among these 60,000 mountains, there were vast wild vegetables and wild animals to collect hunger, but how could he persist? Li Zongren stood on a brown stone and saw soldiers catching mountain ants in the cracks of the stream, picking wild leeks on the rock wall, and picking bracken seedlings in the thatch, and finally got some comfort in his heart.
Because since he led his troops, he has gradually risen from platoon commander to battalion commander, and with his efforts and talents, he can strictly restrain his subordinates, always open his food and military needs, and he does not eat vacancies, and can lead the way when fighting. He is quite famous in Lin Hu's army, so he can still stabilize the morale of the army in this difficult and extraordinary period.
If it weren't for the help of the merchants and gentry in Chenghuangwei, the military rations would be almost cut off. But after all, it would be difficult to cook without rice. Because life is difficult to continue, more and more soldiers have fled in recent days, and the morale of the army is floating. Faced with this situation, even Li Zongren, who is strategist, can only do nothing. A few days ago, he received a letter of surrender from Chen Jiongguang, and has been tossing and turning for several days, feeling uneasy.
Li Zongren is not a fool, so he naturally knows that the truth is the one who holds his life in his hands. If he surrenders, he will just let the mermaid be meat. Unfortunately, he has no choice but to not surrender, either sit and wait for death, or he can only hold his confidant and become a bandit. With his ambitions in his heart, he naturally does not want to do such a thing.
At noon, I suddenly heard a sentry report and found a group of people hurriedly heading into the mountains.
"Could it be that the Guangdong army is unwilling to surrender and is chasing us?" Li Zongren raised his eyebrows and immediately issued an order: "Prepare for battle!"
All the companies and platoons were ready for battle, and Li Zongren took his main battalion and ran straight to the front. After some observation, he found that most of the soldiers of this team of dozens of people were fully equipped, and they were not leaving their guns. While walking, they just rushed towards their own side.
But judging from their appearance and number, they did not look like pursuers from the Guangdong Army, Li Zongren hurriedly ordered people to go and inquire. Soon, the person who went to inquire came to Li Zongren with a lower-level soldier from the other side. After asking, he realized that the other side was sent by a force in Guangzhou City.
Li Zongren was puzzled about the other party's purpose, but since he was here to deliver things, he was not afraid of the other party's bad ideas in his current situation. Anyway, Li Zongren thought that there was nothing that others could think of, so he openly met Huang Shaoguang and his group.
After chatting, Li Zongren realized that the two sides had some connections. Huang Shaoguang was Huang Shaohong's cousin, and he was as close as a brother to Huang Shaohong. In addition, he was a member of Guangxi, so it was easy to talk about it together.
"Shaoguang, who is your adult? Why did you come to this remote country to win over me, Mr. Li?" While eating the best canned beef, Li Zongren was delighted, but it also aroused his suspicion. After all, he is still just an unknown little person, and Ruhe deserves to be won over by others for a long time?
"Brother Delin, it's innocence. My boss wants to find a qualified partner to run Guangxi together. Because he wants to set up in Guizhou, he must find a capable and responsible person. In the Gui army system, only Delin, my cousin Shaohong has such ability." Huang Shaoguang's words were not entirely flattering. On that day, he came to Guangdong from Guangxi, and was originally aimed at resigning to his cousin Huang Shaohong, and he had heard of Li Zongren's deeds.
"I know the good intentions of your chamber of commerce, but I have accepted Commander Chen's invitation a few days ago, so I am really sorry that I cannot join you."
After some discussion, Li Zongren naturally knew about Huang Shaoguang's intention to recruit Huang Shaoguang. But he was a soldier who was concerned about state affairs, so how could he join the command of a businessman to be a private army! Therefore, he refused Huang Shaoguang's proposal without hesitation with Chen Jiongguang's order to surrender.
Huang Shaoguang didn't care about this answer, but smiled: "We don't have to rely on Brother Delin, and there are other ways of cooperation. Of course, to show sincerity, I can help you gain some benefits from Commander Chen first. Our company will also provide some material support to your troops to a certain extent, hoping that they can leave a good impression on each other."
"Oh? Since that's the case, then I'll have a hard time." I originally planned to refuse, but after thinking about it, it would be better to agree first, so I bowed and expressed my attitude of cooperation. As long as I don't seek refuge, everything is easy to say.
Besides, those who can speak in front of Chen Jiongming's younger brother Chen Jiongguang also have value for making friends. Li Zongren is not stupid and knows how to measure the gains and losses in it. His unwillingness to defect to businessmen does not mean that he is unwilling to cooperate with merchants. Everything is due to interests.
The thoughts in this are of course carefully measured.
