Three days later, Yuan Baocen had completely accepted the reality of transmigration.
Wasn't there a saying that went,"If you can't resist rape, then enjoy it!"
It was impossible for Yuan Baocen to return to the 21st century. In that case, he could only enjoy life in the world a hundred years ago.
In the living room of the small courtyard, Yuan Baocen was sitting on a chair. In front of him were two middle-aged women. One was Yuan Shikai's eldest aunt, Lady Shen. Under the circumstances that Yuan Shikai's wife, Lady Yu, was not doted on, she was actually the mistress of the entire Yuan residence.
The other was Yuan Shikai's third aunt, Taijin. She was Yuan Shikai's concubine when he was the governor of Korea.
To some extent, Yuan Baocen had an advantage that even Yuan Shikai's eldest son, Yuan Yuntai, did not have. That was that the eldest aunt, the Shen family, had a very large influence on Yuan Shikai.
"Son! This time, you are sick. Fortunately, the Bodhisattva has blessed you so that you can be safe. In the future, remember to go to the temple more often to offer incense and thank Bodhisattva.”Madam Chen urged.
She was originally a famous prostitute in Su Province. When Yuan Shikai was down and out, she sponsored him to get an official position. After Yuan Shikai made a name for himself, he married her as his concubine. When Yuan Shikai was the Governor of Koryo, she played the role of his wife and was deeply loved by Yuan Shikai.
"Yes, biological mother. I will remember it.”Yuan Baocen's performance was very low-key and humble, completely different from his previous arrogance.
He knew that if he wanted to make a difference, the support of the Chen clan was absolutely necessary.
"Yes!" Madam Chen nodded her head in satisfaction. She still valued this son very much.
"Yes, Mom. I'll go pay my respects to Dad later.”
Yuan Baocen naturally understood what the Jin family meant. Now that Yuan Shikai was getting more and more powerful, if he wanted his son to make a difference, he had to win Yuan Shikai's favor.
Many of Yuan Shikai's children called his wife Yu's mother, his aunt Tai's mother, and his own biological mother.
"Son! There's something I have to remind you. You're not young anymore. You can't indulge in romance anymore. It's time to do something serious!”Madam Chen reminded him. Although she admired Yuan Baocen's achievements in the four arts, she knew that as a member of the Yuan Family, if he was obsessed with these, he would not achieve anything.
"Yes, biological mother. After his son suffered from this serious illness, he had already come to a great realization. I'm going to formally ask Father to allow my son to join the army.”Yuan Bao Cen said sternly.
"Go to the army? No way. It was currently a chaotic world, and it was chaotic. What if something happened?”Kim immediately disagreed.
Madam Chen frowned and did not say anything.
"Mom! This time, I've made up my mind. As a man, rather than living a cowardly life, he might as well devote himself to the military and fight for the country and the nation. At the same time, he would also fight for a future for the Yuan family and himself.”
"As for safety, there's absolutely no problem. Father can't really let me be a soldier, right? At the very least, it should be given to a brigade commander.”
Jin Shi wanted to say something more, but Shen Shi spoke.
"Good! It's rare for my son to have such ambitions. You should go and talk to Old Master. When the time is right, I will mention it to Old Master.”Madam Chen said.
"Thank you, mother!" Yuan Baocen was overjoyed. He knew that if Madam Chen opened her mouth, then there would be no problem at all.
The Northern New Army was now the most capable army in China. Although it could not be compared to the armies of the foreign powers, it was at least much stronger than the revolutionary army in the south. Especially the six towns of Beiyang, these old troops were the elites among the elites.
Yuan Baocen clearly remembered that this year, the Beiyang Army would be greatly expanded, and it would be expanded into 12 towns and 16 mixed associations. A few years later, when Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself emperor, the Beiyang Army would be expanded to 33 towns, 97 mixed troops and 33 mixed troops. The total strength would reach 1.2 million people, of which more than half were Beiyang's direct troops.
If Yuan Baocen could seize this opportunity, he could even become a commander, let alone a division commander.
With this thought in mind, after Shen shi and Jin shi left, Yuan Baocen immediately went to the study of the Yuan residence to pay his respects to Yuan Shikai.
