The words in Uncle's letter are filled with a strong sense of decadence, and it seems that the blow he suffered was not light. As for the letter itself, Wang Zhenyu didn't pay much attention to it, because he had already received Lu Diping's letter before and roughly knew what had happened. Upon reading the content of Uncle's letter, it indeed said that in order to maintain the overall situation, he had no choice but to give up his revenge.

  However, he also knew from this letter what kind of person Tan Yanqing was. Although he was only in his thirties, he was already an old hand. When he became a "famous person", Wang Longzhong was still studying at the military academy in Japan. Such a person, seeing Wang Longzhong coming aggressively, and Mei Xing's slippery head also escaped to Hengyang with his troops. But it was in this extremely unfavorable situation, with external enemies like tigers and wolves, and internal soldiers who could not be used, that Tan Yanqing successfully turned the tide.

  On the one hand, Tan Yankai openly declared that he was willing to give up his position as governor to Wang Longzhong in order to avoid civil war in Hunan. On the other hand, Tan Yankai invited Huang Rongming, the original commander of the 49th Brigade who had not participated in the Northern Expedition, back to Changsha after its recovery. He asked Huang Rongming, as an old superior officer, to calm down the First Corps, which was eyeing the city from outside. As the former commander of the 49th Brigade, Huang Rongming enjoyed high prestige and was respected by the officers of the First Corps, including Wang Longzhong, who were all his former subordinates. Therefore, when he arrived at the First Corps, he scolded them severely, rebuking Wang Longzhong and others for being disloyal and disruptive, and damaging the overall situation. Even Wang Longzhong, who had initially been determined to return and settle scores, began to waver in his resolve.

  Tan Yanqing again promised to recognize Jiao Dafeng and Chen Zuoxin as revolutionary martyrs, with a compensation of 40,000 yuan for each family. Under such circumstances, Wang Longzhong surprisingly accepted Tan's leadership and gave up. Wang Zhenyu looked at his uncle's letter and knew that his nearsighted uncle was not far from completely withdrawing from the political stage.

  Don't look at Tan Yanqing's current flattery towards him, once Old Tan has his own heir, I estimate that the clan uncle will either be killed or step down, there is no other way. The clan uncle was indeed brave on the battlefield, but in politics, he was short-sighted and childish, Wang Zhenyu gave this clan uncle a very accurate positioning: benevolence of a woman.

  After the Wang Longzhong incident, Tan Yankai's pace of seizing military power has clearly accelerated. At the end of December, the Hunan Military Government reported to Huang Xing the preliminary reorganization plan for the Xiang Army: The Xiang Army was divided into five infantry divisions, with Wang Longzhong's troops being assigned as the fourth division, which in itself was a clear omen. The commander of this fourth division was naturally Wang Longzhong, under whom were the 7th and 8th brigades, with Ying Heng and Chen Qiang serving as brigade commanders, and Zhu Guangdou, Lu Diping, Liang Xiqiu, and Hu Zhaopeng serving as regimental commanders of the 13th, 14th, 15th, and 16th regiments. According to Lu Diping's second letter, the situation within the division was also very complicated, with many people secretly colluding with the Military Government, and Wang Longzhong's control over the various units had apparently become a problem.

  Wang Zhenyu shook his head and kept these letters, it was one of his habits.

  Wang Zhenyu suddenly remembered something else, it seemed that neither he nor his troops had been asked about anything.

  Wang Zhenyu's regiment, which was abandoned in Hubei and never recalled, was not noticed by Tan Yanqing, the governor of Hunan Province. Not only did he fail to notice, but Huang Lianming, the head of the military government department of Hunan Province who was responsible for the reorganization plan, also failed to notice or deliberately ignored it. Wang Longzhong, as his direct superior, became very disheartened after this defeat and basically didn't care about the reorganization affairs. The whole thing was just a drinking party, getting drunk and muddled, and nobody knew whether he was really stupid or pretending to be stupid to save himself. As a result, due to various explicit and implicit reasons, the second regiment, which had made great achievements at Yudaomen, was forgotten by everyone in this pile of intentional and unintentional neglect, becoming a wild child.

  However, the Hunan military authorities can forget about the second battalion, but Huang Xing, the Army Chief of Staff of the Nanjing Provisional Government, will not forget. At this moment, he is still proud and remembers who helped him turn the tide in his most difficult days in Hanyang. It was Wang Zhenyu who stood up for him. After the withdrawal of the Hunan army, this battalion remained in Hanyang under his command to stabilize the military's morale. This man has made contributions, and this unit has also made contributions. The Hunan side can forget about them, but how can Huang Xing, a man who values loyalty and righteousness, forget?

  Then Huang Xing waved his pen and the number of the 9th Brigade of the 4th Division of the Hunan Army was given to Wang Zhenyu's unit. Moreover, in the name of the Nanjing Temporary Government Land Department, Wang Zhenyu was directly appointed as the commander of the 9th Brigade of the 4th Division of the Hunan Army, and was awarded the rank of Lieutenant General. Huang Xing also fully understood the embarrassing situation of this unit, and in his order, he explicitly instructed that the brigade be expanded from the original 2nd Battalion of the 49th Regiment to form a new unit, which would not need to return after its expansion but would instead be transferred to Nanjing to directly belong to the Nanjing Garrison Command, preparing for the Northern Expedition. At the same time, in order to commemorate the victory of the Hankou Counterattack, Huang Xing also specially issued an order to inform the whole army, awarding the brigade the title "Mighty Tiger Brigade".

  In Hunan, Tan Yankai received the order from Nanjing and had no opinion on it. At present, in order to stabilize his position as governor, he still needed the support of Huang Xing, a veteran of the Tongmenghui. Therefore, he followed Huang's orders, but since it was just a small division that would be directly sent to the Northern Expedition after its formation, Tan Yankai didn't pay much attention to it. He instructed the Military Affairs Department to provide supplies as needed and signed his name on Huang Xing's order, but whether the department would follow through was not his concern. Over the past month, most of the main officers in Wang Longzhong's two divisions and four regiments had defected to Tan's side. Even if Wang Longzhong were to gain another division, what waves could he stir up?

  At that time, who would have thought that just because of Huang Xing's personal preference for this command, it would later affect the course of the entire Republic of China's history.

  "Congratulations, General!" All the troops rushed to congratulate Wang Zhenyu after receiving the news. Everyone is not stupid, from a regiment promoted to a division, the rank changed to general, now everyone must have the opportunity to be promoted, at this time if you don't come to flatter, you will regret it later and there will be no place to go.

  "King of Tigers Travel" Wang Zhenyu was still entangled in this name, which easily made him think of the Sri Lankan Tigers organization in later generations. Did Huang Xing, the chief commander, want him to become a revolutionary terrorist? His mind was in disarray.

  "The formal order hasn't come down yet, and no one has come from Changsha either. What are you guys making a racket about here? Get back to training, all of you!"

  The tiger-faced man stormed off with this group of boot-lickers, while Wang Zhenyu sat quietly by himself in the chair, lost in thought.

  I've actually become a general. It's been over two months since I came to this era, and I've gone from being an unemployed university graduate who couldn't even find a decent job in my own time to becoming the deputy commander of the militia as a major general. This really is a case of "times create heroes". Wang Zhenyu felt pressure coming at him wave after wave. He knew he wasn't the Wang Zhenyu who had received regular education at the Hunan Military Academy, and his promotion to major general was just a result of Hankou's unconventional gamble, playing a night raid and succeeding by luck. Honestly, he didn't think he was a qualified soldier, and the troops under his command were only being led based on the little knowledge he had gained from watching his father lead troops when he was young and from various military TV dramas. His father had spent his whole life as just a battalion or company-level officer, but Wang Zhenyu was already a major general, and a real one at that, not some singing general.

  At first, I was only in charge of this one camp with over 700 people, and although there was some pressure, it didn't feel like much.

  At that time, these people were not familiar with each other and had a carefree attitude towards spending money. Now they have become an intimate team, everyone treats each other like their own brothers, no longer having the indifferent feeling of the past.

  As he rose to this level, Wang Zhenyu suddenly felt confused and even a little scared. Then he became somewhat insecure, and began to doubt whether he could really make achievements in this era.

  "Hey" Just as Wang Zhenyu was lost in thought, he suddenly felt a pat on his shoulder, followed by the startled voice of a girl. Without looking, Wang Zhenyu knew who it was, and the pressure from the pat actually disappeared. He didn't even turn his head and said, "Immature."

  "Hmm" The one who startled Wang Zhenyu was none other than our Ye Ziwen, Ye Dajie. Having stayed in the military camp for nearly half a month, Ye Ziwen, who had been confined at home, felt refreshed and happy facing this brand new living environment. Moreover, their cultural education work went very smoothly, and although the soldiers were a bit dull, they all had very good attitudes and were serious, so the learning effect was naturally not bad either. This made these girls who acted as instructors feel very accomplished.

  What's more important is that everyone in the whole camp knows that these seven or eight little girls are invited by the big boss, so they are very polite to them, and their treatment is also based on the standard of military officers. These young ladies can go wherever they want in the camp, do whatever they want, it's really like letting ducks out of the cage, this group of misses who grew up in the concession area think everything is fresh and fun. The instructor team's little brothers are accompanying these misses to stroll around every morning due to their training schedule, Dai Yue, Chen Suxin, Tao Xiyue, Song Haomin and others are now with these 15 or 16-year-old girls all afternoon, making them laugh from time to time. It wasn't until the afternoon when they went to class that these little brothers went to report to the instructor team for military training, Wang Zhenyu also turned a blind eye to this.

  Although the plan to make Yue Yiwu was a failure at first, the very difficult task of improving the cultural quality of all officers and soldiers in the whole camp was unexpectedly accomplished.

  Wang Zhenyu hadn't even had time to thank Ye Ziyun before he was again driven crazy by this young lady. Since teaching the military song to the training team last time, this young lady from the Ye family has been idle every morning for the past few days. She no longer runs around with those silly boys in the training team, but instead hangs out in Wang Zhenyu's barracks every day. The guards at the barracks also know that this young lady's relationship with their captain is different from other girls, so they never block her entry and exit from the barracks.
