Someone asked, since the literacy class is open, why don’t girls go to school too? Chen Zikun’s explanation is that the idea of ​​favoring boys over girls is difficult to reverse. Girls are the labor force at home, so it is better to let things go if they force them to go to school. They should not stop those who want to go to school, and those who don’t want to go to school will not force them.

The recruitment work was very failed, not because of the lack of enthusiasm for registration. These days, eating food and serving in the army, especially in Jiangdong, was a good thing that could not be found with a lantern. The recruitment office was crowded with people, and there were very few selected people. Because the selection requirements were too high, they had to do fifty push-ups and recognize fifty square characters. The former was barely enough, while the latter kept most people outside, and the illiterate farmers didn't know a lot about the big words. However, this also brought another benefit, that is, the enrollment rate of boys was significantly increased.

Later, Che Qiuling visited Yang Shugen in the refugee camp. His mother now sewed insoles for Zhengfu and earned a monthly income. Yang Shugen entered the literacy class to study. At noon, there was a meal under Zhengfu. The little boy with a pale face finally had a bloody face, but he still couldn't smile.

The quality of the new citizens in Beitai County is worrying, which makes Chen Zikun very worried. He has implemented another major measure. He built Jiangbei Normal School in Beitai, with tuition and miscellaneous fees and food and accommodation. He also moved the Army School to Beitai. The former Jiangbei Army Quick-Enterprise School is now renamed the Jiangbei Branch of the Army Officer School. It is nominally the branch campus of the Whampoa Military Academy. The graduates are all serious Central Army.

The construction of Beitai is in full swing, and the prototype of a city has risen. By the spring of the following year, the main part of the landmark Jiangbei Railway Station has been completed. Considering the matching with the surrounding scenery, Lin Huiyin was not adopted. Instead, it was designed by American designers and modeled after New York Central Railway Station in accordance with Chen Zikun's opinion. Of course, the scale is several times smaller and the supporting facilities are not perfect enough. But looking at the whole country, it is comparable to Beijing Zhengyangmen East Station, Shanghai Zhabei Railway Station, and Jinan Railway Station.

Provincial Chairman Chen Zikun spent half of his time in the provincial capital and half of his time in Beitai. This city is like his children, every grass, every tree, every brick and tiles poured his efforts and feelings into it, and even consumed the financial resources of Jiangdong Industrial Bank and Jiangdong Province. The originally wealthy finance has already had a deficit.

Just when the finances were unable to continue, something worse came to the point where a massive anti-Chiang War began.

This time, the anti-Chiang Dynasty was far better than the past. In terms of military, it was Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xishan, Li Zongren, and Zhang Fakui, and in terms of political, it was Wang Zhaoming's reorganized faction and the always conservative Xishan faction. It was a strong lineup with a force of up to 600,000. Hebei, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai, Ningxia, Suiyuan, Chahar, Guangxi; in terms of Beiping, Tianjin, Henan, and Anhui, all of which were anti-Chiang areas.

On the other hand, in Nanjing, Chiang Kai-shek fought alone and struggled to support it.

In the Fenglin Road official residence in Jiangdong Province, Chen Zikun convened a meeting of military and political leaders to discuss countermeasures. Everyone believed that Chiang Kai-shek would definitely lose this time.

"It is a blessing that Chiang Kai-shek has come to this day. There are too many people in the party and army who are dissatisfied with him. I am afraid that I can't pass this level." Chief of Staff Yan Su was born in old Beiyang and had a very vicious vision. With one word from him, the two commanders below agreed.

"Master General, we have been dormant in Jiangdong for so long, and it's time to expand. We will take over Shandong and Jiangsu provinces. Brothers will also make a provincial chairman." Gai Longquan said with a move.

Chen Shou also said: "Yes, we will accumulate strength and fight back. When they are about to kill each other, they will take Nanjing in one fell swoop and Shanghai again. Dashou, you are also a veteran of the Kuomintang, and our brothers are all in the party. Why can't we establish a central government to play?"

Chen Zikun said: "What do you mean is to destroy Jiang first, and then fight with Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xishan, Li Zongren and others?"

"What's wrong? We kept a low profile earlier, but now the time has come." Yan Su said with a smile.

"Master, you are in danger of wealth and honor. Let's do it, brothers can't wait." Zeng Jiao also shouted.

Chen Zikun took out a newspaper and handed it to Yan Su. Yan Su didn't say a word, and handed it to Gai Longquan.

Gai Longquan shouted: "It's all foreign characters, I can't understand it."

Chen Shou was more inspiring than him and scolded: "I'm stupid, let you see the paintings, who asked you to see the words?"

This is a "English Times" published in Tianjin. There is a full page of the comic on the second page. There are three people on the painting. The beard with a military uniform and horse boots on the blue sky and sun are Chiang Kai-shek. He turned off the gun on one mobile phone, held a silver dollar in the other, and wreathed in the uniform of a second-class privateer like a beggar. He held a big knife in one hand and a steamed bun in the other. There is also a short and rich man named Yan Xishan, holding a grenade in the other, and holding an abacus in the other.

The meaning of the comic is very simple, and everyone can understand it. Although Chiang Kai-shek was weak, he had sufficient soldiers and food, and advanced weapons. The northwest territory occupied by Feng Yuxiang was barren and difficult, and it was difficult to maintain such a huge army. Yan Xishan was good at calculating and did too much work, so he was not a partner at all.

Gai Longquan was not giving up and said, "You can't say that. Our Jiangdong terrain is excellent. There is still a surprise soldier in Shanghai. At the critical moment, Isn't Chiang Kai-shek relying on Shanghai's financial support? He cut off his roots and see how he fights."

Chen Zikun said: "Even if you defeat Chiang Kai-shek as you said, what should I do next?"

Gai Longquan curled his lips indifferently: "Let's fight and let Yan Laoxi and Feng Yuxiang both be together. Our brothers recommend the Grand Marshal as the chairman."

Chen Shou said: "Yes, if you compete in the Central Plains and win the world, others can do it, but how can we not do it!"

As he said that, the two commanders looked at each other, and the two who had always been dissatisfied with each other had a deep understanding.

Zeng Jiao couldn't help but said, "Master, do it, don't miss the opportunity, don't come again."

Yan Su coughed and said, "Kunwu, do you remember the fact that I resigned from the Army Department and went to the Jiangbei Nantai place where birds do not shit?"

Chen Zikun nodded silently.

"We brothers have been withered for so many years, and Isn't it just this day? Let's take your brothers to do it! Break the old world and build a new China!" Yan Su's extremely bewitching words made Chen Zikun's heart move.

"Ahem." Liu Youjin, the secretary-general of the provincial government, spoke, "Everyone, you have forgotten one person, Zhang Xueliang, the commander-in-chief of the border defense forces of the three eastern provinces, and his 500,000 troops were all from tigers and wolves. Once the Feng army entered the pass, the situation would be complicated, and Chiang Kai-shek might not lose."

Everyone stopped talking, lowered their heads to smoke. What Liu Youjin said was true. The Feng army was very powerful and had an industrial foundation. If Zhang Xueliang turned to Chiang Kai-shek, Feng Yan would be defeated.

Chen Zikun slapped the handrail and stood up: "Let's discuss it again."

The generals dispersed in disappointment. Chen Zikun walked out of the conference room and went to the office to sign an order. Without his own handwritten order, he was not allowed to mobilize armed soldiers of one squad, otherwise he would be punished for rebellion.

Another battalion of troops was transferred to strengthen the defense of the official residence. The Kadenroyd MK light armored vehicle imported from the UK was deployed to both sides of the gate, sandbags were built inside the gate, and machine guns were set up.

It happened that the two ladies returned from shopping and were shocked to see such a situation. The memories of the nightmare of the rebels attacking the public office surged into their hearts. Yao Yilei couldn't help but shivered and found Chen Zikun to ask why she strengthened her defense.

Chen Zikun quickly comforted her and said that it was okay, just a routine drill.

Yao Yilei said: "You can't deceive me, something must have happened."

Chen Zikun then sighed and said, "I was bitten by a snake once. Everyone below the Chief of Staff advocated participating in the downfall of Chiang. Even the old brothers are like this. You can imagine the officers and soldiers below. I am afraid that there are young and powerful factions with unclear minds to make military advice."

Yao Yilei snorted and said, "These Qiu Bas know how to fight and kill. From the Guangxu year to the present, how many years have been fought, how many people have died, how many commanders have stepped down from the wild to become apartment houses. The housing prices in the concession in Shanghai and Tianjin have been hyped up by these people. They are not forcing you to rebel against Chiang, they clearly want you to become an apartment house."

Chen Zikun smiled bitterly and said, "I understand what brothers mean. I want to take me a step further. My career has stagnated over the years and has disappointed them."

Yao Yilei was silent for a while and said calmly: "Zikun, I don't want to be the first lady, nor do I want you to be the head of state. Chiang Kai-shek's qualifications are older than you, his troops are stronger than you, and his finances are richer than you. There are so many people who oppose him. If you are in power, there will definitely be more people opposing you. Have you ever thought about these?"

A word was like a revelation, which made Chen Zikun, who was unsure of his mind, strengthened his belief and still bet on Chiang Kai-shek's side.

The next day, Chen Zikun issued several orders, sending a nationwide telegram to support Nanjing government, and his two armies went to the border of Henan Province to make a defensive posture.

Chen Zikun convened a meeting of officers above the regiment under his command: "Everyone knows the current situation. Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xishan and others jointly opposed Chiang Kai-shek, and the war was about to begin. Someone had advised me to participate in the anti-Chiang. I thought it clear. Feng Yuxiang was used to stabbing the knife in the back, and Yan Xishan was capricious. These two were villains. How could they be beneficial if they were with villains? If these two thieves successfully opposed Chiang, they would definitely kill each other again. At that time, warlords would separatist and melee. I worked hard to fight the Northern Expedition, but I would get this result!"

As he said that, he took out **** and patted it on the table: "Whoever opposes the central government will be unable to get along with me!"

Speaking of this, Yan Su and others had no choice but to have no choice. The military orders fell like a mountain. Gai Longquan and Chen Shou had to obey the orders and lead the army to set off.

Two days later, Chiang Kai-shek arrived in Jiangdong by train and met with Chen Zikun. After a few months of not seeing each other, Chairman Jiang became thinner and his armed belts were even more eye-catching. However, he was still energetic. He brought Chen Zikun 500,000 military expenses and ten-car-skinned weapons and ammunition to the Hanyang Arsenal.

"Brother Zikun, it's true love in times of adversity. The central government's finances are tight, so I can only take out so much." Chiang Kai-shek said with sincerity, and there seemed to be crystal clear at the corners of his eyes.
