Super Dictator

Youpeng in Shanxian County actively planned to attack Ximu City. Although the Chinese army in Ximu City was passively preparing for war, it was not sitting idle. Although the Hunan Army was not ready for the attack for a while, a large number of weapons and ammunition continued to move forward from the pass. Delivered online.

Wei Jichen did not dare to wait for Nie Shicheng to deliver firearms and ammunition to his door like he did in Dagaoling. Fengsheng A was not so kind. If Wei Jichen went to receive it in person, he might be greedy and replenish it for his army first.

Therefore, as soon as Wei Jichen heard that a large amount of ammunition had been sent to Ximu City from the rear, he hurried to the city with a battalion of troops, fearing that he would be late and not be part of it.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" Huzi led a group of men and horses to clear the way in front. When the team that originally came to receive the arms saw this situation, they ducked to both sides for fear of being hit by these people.

The sergeants of the Zhenbian Army and the Shengzi Army were afraid to avoid them when they saw the Wei Zijun sergeants. This is because in the past ten days, there have been many conflicts between the sergeants of the two armies.

Originally, Feng Sheng'a had intentionally signaled his soldiers to go to Wei Zijun to look for trouble. He had thought that the trouble was not found, but he was in trouble. Wei Zijun, who had experienced bloody battles, was a corpse and walked through the sea of ​​blood. How can a sergeant be so easy to bully?

There was a hand-to-hand fight involving more than a hundred people. There were more than 70 people in Sheng's army and only about 30 in Wei Zi's army. In the end, more than 70 people were chased and beaten by more than 30 people. I don't know how many people were maimed or injured. It's not that none of Wei Zijun's sergeants had killed him, maybe a few more people would have been 'killed' in battle.

With such a record, even Fengsheng'a wouldn't have the shame to use this to trouble Wei Jichen. About seventy people were chased and beaten by more than thirty people. It would be embarrassing to go out.

From then on, when soldiers from other armies saw the soldiers of Wei Zijun passing by, they all stayed away from each other, and this was nothing more than retreating.

So now Huzi is rampaging all the way, and few people dare to step forward to stop him. Although everyone who avoided them has an angry look on their face, no one speaks. The army talks about who has the biggest fist. Boss.

Wei Jichen followed behind with a leisurely look. Behind him were the other three sentry soldiers. He would not give up until he had replenished his food, wages and weapons this time. If he waited until the next time, he didn't know when it would be.

It didn't take long for Wei Jichen to arrive in front of the Qing army officials who were rushing to provide food, pay and weapons.

This official had just come from the rear and did not know the details of Wei Jichen. He thought he was arrogant and barbaric and did not follow the rules. He did not know that if Wei Jichen followed the rules, he would be able to receive food, wages and weapons in the Year of the Monkey.

"Brother, this is the food, salary, and weapons that I, Wei Zijun, should distribute. Please verify it carefully and make sure it is not missing even half a point." Wei Jichen saw that the official had forgotten his movements and couldn't help but pat the table to remind him.

"Wei Zijun, wait, you said you are from Wei Zijun?" The official frowned at first, and then continued to ask with some surprise: "Are you from Wei Jichen's Wei Zijun?"

Wei Jichen glanced at this official with a mustache, a short stature and a slightly thin face, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that my brother has heard of Wei."

The official narrowed his eyes and replied: "My brother, there is no one in the world who doesn't know the name of the God of Death."

If a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it. Although Wei Jichen is a high-profile person because of his prestige, he does not want to attract too much attention. This is a conflicting issue. It depends on how Wei Jichen can grasp the balance. .

"This eldest brother is too complimentary. It's just a nickname, not just a mention." Wei Jichen suppressed his smile and said seriously.

The official glanced enviously at Wei Jichen's second-grade military uniform, sighed and said, "I can lead troops in battle at a young age, and I'm here delivering weapons, food, and wages. It's such a world of difference. ah."

This official was good at beating snakes and hitting him with a stick. Wei Jichen had just called him "big brother" out of politeness, but seeing how warmly he called him, those who didn't know thought that the friendship between the two parties was deep.

The more Wei Jichen looked at this person, the more familiar he felt, but he still had the impression that he didn't recognize him, which was really strange.

The official looked through the list and said with a smile: "Your two battalions have a lot of men, horses and artillery."

He could estimate the number of cannons just from the number of ammunition. He didn't look like someone who had never led troops in a war.

"Brother, may I ask what your name is?" Wei Jichen waited until he finished reading and couldn't help but clasping his fists and asked.

The official smiled lightly and said, "This is Yuan Shikai from Xiangcheng."

It turned out to be Yuan Shikai, no wonder he looked so familiar. I had never seen him in person, but I had seen his photos in some documents in my previous life, so he looked familiar.

It is true that after Yuan Shikai escaped from North Korea, he became a logistics officer rushing to provide food, wages and weapons.

There is also a reason why Yuan Shikai envied Wei Jichen for being able to command the army.

It can be said that Yuan Shikai had a profound understanding of the similar saying "Political power emerges from the barrel of a gun". Zeng Guofan had the Hunan Army, and Li Hongzhang had the Huai Army, so he was called the "Minister of ZTE".

Even his great-uncle Yuan Sanjia was able to achieve great achievements because he had soldiers and horses at his disposal. So what he dreams of is to have a few "gun barrels" in his hands.

A long time ago when he was in North Korea, Yuan Shikai conspired to seize the Qingzi Army of his "employee" Wu Changqing. Unfortunately, he failed and turned against his old boss Wu Changqing.

After the Donghaekdo Uprising in North Korea, as the "Korean Emperor", he thought that his opportunity to lead the army had come, but he did not know that he was tricked by the Japanese. The Japanese Minister to North Korea, Oshima Keisuke, told him: Keiting, you just Don't worry, please ask the Qing Dynasty to send troops at home. Our Empire of Japan will definitely not send troops. .

In order to gain power personally, Yuan Shikai was persuaded by Oshima Keisuke to actively contact the court and advocate that the Qing government send troops to North Korea. Unfortunately, the Qing army was still hot when it arrived, and the Japanese army arrived soon after.

Yuan Shikai became anxious and hurriedly pretended to be ill and asked to return to China. Before getting Li Hongzhang's consent, he disguised himself as a civilian and fled back from Incheon.

After returning to China, Yuan Shikai naturally no longer had the official position of Minister stationed in North Korea to negotiate trade matters, because North Korea was occupied by the Japanese, and the Japanese invaded Northeast China. Why did the court still have this empty position?

After returning to China, Yuan Shikai wanted to lead an army to the front line and seize the opportunity to gain military power. However, Li Hongzhang was very dissatisfied with Yuan Shikai's return to China without obeying his orders, so he decided to let him go first and let him be a logistics officer rushing to provide food, pay and weapons. .

The reason why Yuan Shikai knew some marching and combat methods was because he helped North Korea train its army when he was in North Korea. However, from the fact that the North Korean army was defeated by the Japanese army, it can be seen that Yuan Shikai's ability to lead troops in war is indeed not very good.

It doesn't matter if your ability to lead troops is not very good, just like Liu Bang said, I don't know Han Xin in fighting, and I am not as good as Xiao He in logistics, but I am good at generalship, so I, Liu Bang, can conquer the world.

Yuan Shikai would interpret this old saying very well in the future, but now he is still a food and salary official without soldiers or generals.

Wei Jichen thought about such information about Yuan Shikai for a while. He had no choice but to call this guy a celebrity.

"It turns out to be Mr. Yuan, the Prime Minister and Minister of North Korea." Wei Jichen said with excitement.

"As for Prime Minister and Minister of North Korea, that is all in the past." Yuan Shikai said with a little embarrassment.

Wei Jichen waved his hand and said sincerely: "If Mr. Yuan hadn't been stable in Korea for more than ten years, the ambitious Japanese might have taken action long ago. Wei admired Mr. Yuan's methods so much that he delayed it by himself. The war between China and Japan.”

What Wei Jichen said is not wrong. As early as 1884, the Japanese tried to take advantage of the Sino-French War to seize Korea. If Yuan Shikai had not commanded the Qing army to repel the Japanese army, the Sino-Japanese War might have broken out at that time. .

Yuan Shikai smiled lightly and said: "The past is like a passing cloud. It was all because of Yuan that North Korea was lost. This made Yuan very sad. Yuan really hoped that he could lead the troops to repel the Japanese attack like his virtuous brother in order to atone for his sins. Ah, young talents like Xiandi are the ones Yuan admires and hopes to make friends with. "

Yuan Shikai was indeed good at winning over people's hearts. In this short period of time, his title to Wei Jichen changed again and again, from old brother to good brother.

Yuan Shikai was still waiting to say anything more, but his officials had already prepared food, wages and firearms for Wei Zijun and came up to report to him.

"Brother Xian, I admire you as a person and have added a little bit to this list for you. Please don't refuse. This is just a small meaning from brother. As long as brother Xian can help on the battlefield, If the eldest brother gives the Japanese a good beating, he will be able to bear his kindness." Yuan Shikai whispered in Wei Jichen's ear.

Yuan Shikai, the official in charge of food, wages and weapons, was actually a position that was best to be filled. If he hadn't been overly ambitious and always wanted to lead troops, he would have become a rich man after just a few wars.

Wei Jichen didn't expect that Yuan Shikai would take special care of him. No matter what the reason was, it was a great affection. After Wei Jichen thought about it, he felt something was wrong. Why did he seem to feel grateful to Yuan Shikai.

It seems that this old Yuan's methods are really good. He is generous to the court and earns the gratitude of Wei Jichen.

Wei Jichen, who understood, still said with a grateful face: "Brother values ​​me so much, if there is anything I need to say in the future, please let me know. I, Wei Jichen, will do my best."

Yuan Shikai said with a cold face: "My brother, Yuan just fell in love with you at first sight. My words of repayment will only chill Yuan's heart."

He is indeed a talented person who has experienced diplomacy. These words made Wei Jichen, who knew Yuan Shikai's details, feel a little warm in his heart.

Looking around, he saw that others were still waiting behind him to receive food, wages and weapons. Wei Jichen had no choice but to cup his fists and said: "Brother is busy with business today. If he is free the next day, I will definitely pay him a visit and get drunk."

"My dear brother, walk slowly." Yuan Shikai replied with a smile and a nod.

Wei Jichen raised his hand, and a whole battalion of men and horses carried, dragged, and picked up all the food, wages, and weapons that had just been counted.

When Yuan Shikai saw that Wei Jichen's sergeants could execute orders and prohibitions with just one move from Wei Jichen without any hesitation, he couldn't help but feel envious. It would be great if he also had this army.
