A confidant aide reminded Wang Maoru to be alert. At this time, Henan's military strength was weak, so it would be best to place Zhang Zuolin, the Northwest Army, and invade Henan. Wang Maoru laughed and said it was okay, Zhang Zuolin would fight out. If he defended Shaanxi, he would have a headache. He was not unpredictable to Zhang Zuolin, but before solving the Northwest Army, Wang Maoru had to beat Yan Xishan, the old fox. The Northwest War between Yan Xishan and Zhang Zuolin had just stopped, and Wang Maoru wanted to interfere and block them first.

However, at this time, Yan Xishan's confidant Nan Guixin ran to Beijing and secretly expressed to Wang Maoru that Shanxi was willing to accept the reorganization of the National Defense Forces.

Wang Maoru didn't understand how Yan Xishan changed so quickly, so Nan Guixin naturally would not tell the truth. He was on the left and right. Wang Maoru sent someone to investigate and learned that the Jin army had delegated power to the troops under his command because of resisting the invasion of the Northwest Army, which led to the withdrawal of Zhang Zuolin's Northwest Army to Shaanxi, and more than a dozen local commanders emerged in Shanxi. Yan Xishan had just finished his foreign enemies and had to quell the civil strife. The civil strife in Shanxi made Yan Xishan feel that he could not control the situation, so in order to borrow troops from the National Defense Army, Yan Xishan expressed his willingness to accept the reorganization secretly.

Let’s reorganize it, and it’s also a secret reorganization. Yan Xishan wants to be a bitch and set up a archway, so he is too good at planning. He has just fallen on Wang Maoru.

How could Wang Maoru let Yan Xishan make such wishful thinking? He secretly asked the agents in Henan to mobilize the masses and the parliament to overthrow Yan Xishan. Then the Shanxi parliament officially impeached Yan Xishan, hundreds of thousands of citizens marched and protested to demand Yan Xishan's downfall, and the police and the army gradually supported the marching of the citizens. Yan Xishan was willing to give up the supervision when the situation was not good, and the army accepted the reorganization. President Xu Shichang also followed the flow and accepted Yan Xishan's resignation.

On September 20, 20th, the Governor of Shanxi, Yan Xishan, announced his resignation. He only served as the commander of the First Division of the Shanxi Army, and the Speaker of the Provincial Assembly, Nan Guixin, acted as the governor.

Wang Maoru immediately announced with a high profile that the National Defense Forces were willing to accept the reorganization of Shanxi. The Shanxi Route Army would be reorganized into the 27th Division, with Yan Xishan personally serving as the division commander, and gave him three infantry brigades 76, 77, and 78. President Xu Shichang also expressed his appreciation for Yan Xishan, saying that Yan Xishan was a model of the people. Yan Xishan, who was put on fire, had no choice but to accept the appointment, and the governor of Shanxi was served by Yan Xishan's confidant Nan Guixin. Yan Xishan finally didn't have to worry about his territory being stolen - this was because Zhang Zuolin's Northwest Army did not accept the reorganization. Otherwise, the first person to liquidate Wang Maoru would be Yan Xishan.

At the same time, Yan Xishan appointed his general Zhang Peimei as the brigade commander of the 76th Brigade, Yang Aiyuan as the brigade commander of the 77th Brigade, and Shang Zhen as the brigade commander of the 78th Brigade. Chief of General Staff Yan Xishan originally thought that he was his own Xu Yongchang, but was rejected by Wang Maoru. Xu Yongchang was promoted to the General Staff Office and served as the General Staff Officer, and the Chief of Staff of the 27th Division was appointed. Seeing that the Shanxi Army was in the restructuring, Yan Xishan did not argue with him and accepted the suggestion.

Wu Peifu left Kaifeng by airship. On the day he left, Cao Kun came to see him farewell in person. After seeing Wu Peifu off, Cao Kun was about to take the train north to Beijing and was about to re-elect the position of vice president. To put it bluntly, all officials in Beiyang were for the sake of interests. Wu Peifu served as the commander of the army to guarantee the interests of Cao Kun, and Cao Kun was the vice president and also guaranteed the interests of Wu Peifu. However, the relationship between the two was very deep. Moreover, Wu Peifu has always taken Yue Fei and Yue Wu Mu as an example and is loyal to Cao Kun. Even though Cao Kun had doubts about him, Wu Peifu never opposed Cao Kun. The same was true for Cao Kun. His kindness to Wu Peifu and his absolute trust in Wu Peifu at critical moments also deeply moved Wu Peifu.

Cao Kun treated his subordinates very sincerely, which was enough to make the soldiers serve and make the officers loyal.

At that time, Zhang Kui'an held Wu Peifu's hand tightly and said, "Captain Xuanwu Legion, I will make a contribution to the country in the future. I will raise my glass for you to celebrate."

Wu Peifu smiled slightly and said, "I hope there will be one day."

Zhang Kui'an Zhanyan smiled and said, "There must be this day. I just hope that the commander of the Xuanwu Legion will not not see me, a guy who only knows how to talk."

Wu Peifu laughed and said, "Your mouth is worth hundreds of thousands of soldiers."

Wu Peifu took the guard to fly in an airship and first arrived at Zhangheng City, Chahar Province, where he received Liu Xun's unit of the 21st Division. The predecessor of the 21st Division was the 15th Division of the Beiyang Army, which belonged to the Anhui Division. However, half of the company-level officers have been replaced by the Yakeshi Army Academy graduated officers, and some officers have also been sent to the military academy for further study and brainwashing education.

The commander of the Liu Xun Division, who was from the Anhui clan, was a little embarrassed when facing Wu Peifu. After all, the two were still life-and-death rivals two months ago, and they became comrades-in-arms superiors and subordinates two months later. However, as Liu Zhe, who was from the National Defense Force, arrived from Kulun with a team of cavalry to Zhang Heng to welcome Wu Peifu, this embarrassment disappeared under Liu Zhe's mediation. And this opponent became a life-and-death friend in the years that followed, and the people who were entrusted with their orphans, the world was really unpredictable.

Before we knew it, it was October of the ninth year of the Republic of China. At this time, Henan, Shandong, Zhili, Shanxi and Shaanxi had a severe drought. The victims were watching the autumn harvest, but many crops were not harvested. The local government had to apply for assistance from their superiors.

In Beijing, after the repeated efforts of Gu Weijun, Pan Fu and Fang Hongxin, the bank committees of various countries in Shanghai handed over the 6 million oceans of tariffs last year to the Beiyang government. After the 6 million oceans were obtained, the central government represented by Pan Fu and Fang Hongxin required that the date of tariff return will no longer be deduced until the middle of the year, but in January of the following year, and the settlement unit of RMB silver dollars. Because of the support of the National Defense Forces, the China National Bank gradually expanded from five provinces to the Yellow River Basin. Now the use of RMB is not limited to nine provinces, Zhili, Shanxi, Shandong, Jiangsu, and Henan are also replacing the oceans one after another, becoming the only legal banknote.

The domestic economy, especially the northern economy, recovered due to the strength of the National Defense Forces. Everything seemed to be prosperous and everything seemed to be revived. It was rare that the Republic of China would not have to fight for a few months.

Wang Maoru lives in Pubeile's mansion, and he is accompanied by his sixth wife Wu Qiuyue. He is lying on the recliner, with the maid fanning him, while Wu Qiuyue on the other side handes him grapes to eat, making him look like a bad guy.

"This damn weather, why is it so hot?" Wang Maoru complained.

The cicadas on the tree make unpleasant noises, like jets, which are very uncomfortable.

Wu Qiuyue said: "Husband, when will we go back outside the pass?"

Wang Maoruqi said: "Why are you going back outside the pass? Isn't it good to be here now?"

Wu Qiuyue wanted to speak but stopped, but finally sighed, so she had to use the grapes to vent her breath and stuff her mouth with grapes. Wang Maoru said depressedly: "You are murdering your husband. Why do you want to choke me to death? Why are you angry?"

"I'm not angry." Wu Qiuyue turned her head and said.

Wang Maoru scratched his head for some reason and waved his hand to send the maid to the side.

Wu Qiuyue said: "Erya is getting married. Next month, I will go to Chenyang to accompany her for a few days. You know, Erya has been following me since she was a child. I am her own sister. She was stolen from human traffickers. I have to marry her out myself."

"I think about it, who is she with..." Wang Maoru said with a knock on his head.

"He Ping." Wu Qiuyue said, "is the one who is the director of the Surveying and Mapping Department in the General Staff of the 19th Division."

"Oh!" Wang Maoru remembered and smiled, "I have been a steward for me. I remember that this kid has a very good memory, and I can never forget everything I see, yes, never forget everything I see. I have only heard of this skill before, but I didn't expect that someone would really have it. But Li Erya will suffer in the future."

Wu Qiuyue said: "Why did you say that?"

Wang Maoru said: "He Ping has such a good memory. You say that what Li Erya does wrongly or what he says in the future will not remember He Ping for the rest of his life? The couple quarreled, but Li Erya must not be able to deal with He Ping, because He Ping's words are reasonable and well-founded, and he can remember the past clearly."

Wu Qiuyue chuckled and said, "You, you really don't look like a marshal."

Wang Maoru said: "The marshal cannot have a stern face all day long, and he can also have a stern face at home. I am the marshal outside, not the marshal at home."

Wu Qiuyue was a little tired and said, "I'll go back and rest." Wang Maoru nodded, and then she left, still looking a little angry, Wang Maoru was a little confused. When Wu Qiuyue walked away, Wang Maoru looked at Zang Hao who was dozing off beside him. This boy was even more woody than himself and had nothing to say. Look at Wang Ke again. The pair of glasses and the gossip fire was burning. Wang Maoru said with a funny look: "Come here, Wang Ke."

"Yes." The boy came over happily and saluted.

Seeing Wang Ke giggling, Wang Maoru patted the stone stool beside him and said, "Sit down, come on, tell me, why is your sixth aunt angry?" He and Wang Ke's father Wang Younian are of the same generation. Although he is a teenager younger than Wang Younian, Wang Ke has to call him uncle, so Wang Maoru's name as his family is very touching.

However, Wang Ke couldn't call him uncle, but he had to call him Xiushuai, so he said, "Xiu Shuai, Aunt Liu is angry with you."

"Nonsense, I know, this woman is really fickle. She was fine just now, but why did she get angry all of a sudden?" Wang Maoru wondered.

Wang Ke hurriedly said, "Xiu Shuai, didn't you agree to hold a wedding for Aunt Liu, so Aunt Liu would live in the General's Mansion, but you have always been busy. Aunt Liu is embarrassed to say it, so look, she just reminded you that you didn't understand...so..."

Wang Maoru slapped his thigh and shouted, "Yes, why don't I know? You kid, you are very good at studying women at a young age. Let's do this. I'll find a father-in-law in the palace to help you become a eunuch. In the future, I will definitely become a big eunuch like Wei Zhongxian."
