The dim yellow light completely revealed the chaos in Qu Zhou County not far away. The huge rubble and stones seemed to be accusing the injustice of this era.
In front of the city gate, four soldiers with loaded guns were casually talking nonsense. They had just taken down Quzhou County and had finally rested for a few days.
Last month, the newly formed 11th Infantry Division of the Northern Warlords, with 9,000 soldiers, invaded Quzhou County and swallowed a large area in the southwest of Zhejiang.
The weather in early spring was still a little cold. In February last year, Emperor Xuantong of the Qing Dynasty announced his abdication, and China officially entered the Republic of China.
With the support of the United Kingdom, France, the United States, Japan, Germany, Russia, Austria, and other countries, Yuan Datou successfully stole the political fruits of the Qing Dynasty. The Aisin Gioro family, which had ruled China for hundreds of years, also withdrew from the stage of history!
The government of the Republic of China, led by the Northern Warlords, ruled eleven provinces, including Suiyuan, Chahar, Hebei, Henan, Jiangsu, Shanxi, Hubei, Anhui, and Hunan. They had the largest sphere of influence in China, and the Northern Warlords were strongly supported by the seven countries of Britain, France, Germany, Russia, the United States, Japan, and Austria!
After the Qing government announced its disbandment, although the Northern Warlords gained the upper hand, there were still other warlords in the southwest, northwest inland provinces, and southeast coastal provinces.
For example, Lu Rongting in Guangxi, Tang Jiyao in Yunnan, Long Jiguang in Guangdong, Fang Ren in Jiangxi, the Ma Family Army in the northwest, and Zhang Zuolin, who controlled the three provinces of Northeast China-they were all enemies of the Northern Warlords.
(The timeline has been adjusted. The fall of the Space-time Qing Dynasty was in 1915.）
Quzhou County, 11th Infantry Division Commander, Chu Yonglong, a major general of the Republic of China. He studied at the Capital Military Academy for two years, but because of his ruthlessness, he was put in an important position by Yuan Datou.
Chu Yonglong was middle-aged and childless. A few years ago, he adopted his son, Chu Tianyun, and groomed him to be his successor.
In this day and age, the commander of a division, and a reorganized division of the Northern Army, could be said to have true power.
For example, in the southwest of Zhejiang Province, Chu Yonglong was the real owner of this place.
Southeast of Quzhou County, the 11th Infantry Division headquarters.
There were three layers of soldiers guarding the courtyard. The reason was simple. Chu Tianyun, the adopted son of Commander Chu, was bedridden due to a serious illness. Commander Chu ordered everyone to enter and exit carefully.
A middle-aged man without a son, one could imagine how he felt.
"Foster son, Yuan Datou, Northern Warlord during the Republic of China!”
"Chu Yonglong, the commander of the Northern Warlords '11th Infantry Division, and I'm his adopted son!”
Chu Tianyun woke up in a daze. He was originally a graduate of the National Defense University of China, but he had transmigrated here on the eve of graduation. Was it a blessing or a curse?
"Brother, aren't you extremely naive? The status of an adopted son is completely dependent on Chu Yonglong's favor. If Chu Yonglong gets a son at an old age, your status will really be a disaster!”
"This Bighead Yuan doesn't have many years left. In this day and age, those with guns and cannons are the big shots!”
"Internal and external troubles, the country is broken!”
Chu Tianyun sorted out the thoughts in his mind. In general, the historical development of this world was roughly the same, but there were some slight differences in some details.
For example, the Qing Dynasty did not fall in 1912. After the new policies were introduced, the Qing government struggled for a few more years. Now, it was March 1916. The first world war had entered its climax. The power of the Maxim heavy machine gun was officially accepted by the armies of various countries.
"I should lead my own troops and leave Qu Zhou County. My cheap father is not a kind person.”
This was Chu Tianyun's first thought. If Chu Yonglong was here, many of his plans could not be carried out.
As the footsteps got closer, Chu Tianyun's heart was in his throat. After all, he was no longer the real Chu Tianyun. If he was seen through, it would be a tragedy.
Chu Yonglong, who was dressed in a black and gray military uniform, had a stocky build, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and was extremely rough. There was even a box cannon at his waist. He was really fierce.
"I heard from your mother that this is an old problem of yours.”
"Yes, father. This illness has been present since young. The family can't do anything about it.”
Chu Yonglong stared at Chu Tianyun as if he wanted to see through him.
After a while, Chu Tianyun felt his back go numb. Perhaps it was the side effects of his recent transmigration, Chu Tianyun's face turned pale.
"Then you should rest more. If you have time, go and see your mother tomorrow.”
"Yes, Father!"
After that, Chu Tianyun watched Chu Yonglong leave.
A moment later, Chu Tianyun got off the bed and looked at the handsome young man in the mirror. He was indeed a beautiful young man.
In 1916, the World War I was in full swing. The European countries relaxed their infiltration of China. Although there were fewer wolves, it made the Japanese and the United States, two hungry tigers, even more terrifying in their infiltration of China's economy.
No one knew that in less than 20 years, the country across the sea from China would control the three provinces in the northeast. They would be eyeing the entire land of China like tigers eyeing their prey.
There were foreign powers outside and warlords inside. This chaotic world needed a true iron-blooded army to lead the Chinese nation out of this dark and chaotic world.
Chu Tianyun didn't wait until the next day. At night, he went to visit his nominal mother, who was also Chu Yonglong's wife, Miss Chen.
Although Chu Tianyun was an adopted son, Miss Chen treated him as if he was her own.
"Tianyun greets mother."
Although Miss Chen was over forty years old, one could still see the beauty of this woman when she was young from her eyes.
As soon as Chu Tianyun arrived, Miss Chen pulled him over to sit beside her.
"You've lost weight, but you've become much more energetic. Yun 'er, your father usually has to handle military affairs, don't blame him.”
"This child remembers, mother. This child came this time to say goodbye to you?”
After saying that, Chu Tianyun could feel Miss Chen clenching her hands and trembling. This woman loved him as her own son. He could not let her down.
"Where is Yun 'er going?"
"Mother, I want to share Father's worries and learn military affairs.”
In the past, Chu Tianyun hated military affairs the most.
"Mother, I thought about it. Perhaps the root of my illness is because my body is too weak.”
Miss Chen looked at Chu Tianyun with determination in her eyes, but she did not try to dissuade him.
"Yun 'er seems to have made up her mind. When should we move?”
"Mother, I will leave tomorrow."
Miss Chen's eyes were filled with reluctance. She did not have any children by her side. Ever since Chu Tianyun came, she had treated him as her own son.
Now that his son was leaving, he naturally felt bad.
