After finding out that his fiancée was Gu Qingxue, Li Donghan was in a good mood. No matter what, she met the standards of a wife in Li Donghan's heart.
He did not expect that such a feudal marriage could have unexpected results!
The next day, Li Donghan's mother and his uncle went to the Gu family to discuss their wedding date and some complicated matters regarding the betrothal gifts!
The Li family and the Gu family were both big families in eastern Guangdong. Their wealth could be ranked in the top ten. The Li family's top three would not be a problem!
Li Donghan was the new army's standard commander, and he would soon be promoted to assistant commander. With the new army in his hands, he had a high position and power. Naturally, this marriage could not be careless! This represented the dignity of the two families and Li Donghan!
As for Li Donghan's uncle, he had to be invited as well! His father had died early, so he could only ask his eldest uncle to step in!
Li Donghan's father had four brothers in his generation, and his father was the third!
His uncle was also an official in his early years. However, he was old now. Coupled with some unspoken rules in the officialdom, he had a virtual position in the Governor's Manor and focused on his family's business!
It was also suitable for him to step in! Li Donghan had also told his mother early on that the wedding date would be as late as possible because he would be very busy in the following period.
It would be best if it could be next year. Although Li Donghan's mother was quite dissatisfied with this, she knew that her son's career was more important, so she could only discuss it with the Gu family.
After that, Li Donghan temporarily put these things aside. The time in his memory was getting closer and closer, and Li Donghan's heart was no longer calm!
He didn't know if those things would change because of his arrival, but he had to be prepared. He had waited too long for that day!
After being reborn into this world, Li Donghan knew that he had to do something in the face of the broken mountains and rivers and the Huaxia that had been enslaved by the Tartars for more than 200 years!
This former Eastern Giant was already riddled with injuries. In fact, he would not be able to stand up for the next few decades!
As a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, Li Donghan had to change all of this. This was also his responsibility!
As time passed, news kept coming from lot 97. They did not disappoint Li Donghan. In just ten days, they had already exterminated three groups of bandits and killed thousands of people.
Blood flowed like a river in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. The Eastern Guangdong New Army had become a nightmarish existence in the hearts of the bandits, a murderous demon!
Many bandits received the news and moved further away. There were no traces of these people in the counties around the City of Flowers.
And for Li Donghan, this was enough. Using thousands of heads to train 97 lots into a real army, filled with killing intent, was completely worth it!
Each of them had at least one life in their hands. When they were faced with such a situation again, they would not be soft-hearted.
After achieving this effect, Li Donghan did not request for 97 lots to continue to exterminate the bandits. Instead, he returned to eastern Guangdong to rest!
Although the battle this time was not short, it was a huge test for the hearts of the soldiers. Right now, they needed to calm down!
More importantly, that time was very close. Li Donghan needed to completely control the army by his side! This was to deal with unexpected situations at any time!
At this moment, another piece of good news came. The 49 Eastern Guangdong Associations were officially established, and Li Donghan was officially appointed as the leader of the 49 Associations!
Looking at the order in front of him with the big seal of the training office, Li Donghan smiled gently. To be honest, he was not as excited as when he was authorized to form the 49th Association!
The true power of the 49th Association was already in Li Donghan's hands. That was the most important thing. This order was just icing on the cake.
Li Donghan was a person who valued practical benefits. With power in hand, nominal matters were somewhat secondary! What he truly valued was the thousands of new soldiers from the 49 associations!
Moreover, in another ten days, this order would become a piece of waste paper. The orders of the Qing Dynasty would no longer work in eastern Guangdong!
Therefore, Li Donghan had already gotten what he wanted. Faced with temptation, he naturally did not have much appeal.
However, it was undeniable that this position had also allowed Li Donghan to accumulate a lot of prestige for himself!
If he had a huge influence in eastern Guangdong before, then he was now a little famous in the country!
After all, there were only 19 towns and a dozen mixed associations in China. Besides the six towns in Beiyang, the other troops were not complete!
It was shocking enough that Li Donghan could become the commander of the First Association at the age of 20. He had even become the idol of many young people!
Some of the new army officers had made Li Donghan their target, which gave him a lot of prestige among the young people!
Prestige was something that couldn't be seen or touched, but it couldn't be gone. But at least Li Donghan had taken a step forward!
This was something that needed to be accumulated!
And this order was not only for Li Donghan, but also for the three Biao Biao leaders below him!
Order: That Qi is 97 standard standard system!
Order: Yang Deshan for 98 standard system!
Order: Wu Daishan for the twenty-five artillery standard command!
Looking at the order, Li Donghan fell into deep thought. He knew from the name that Qi Na was a Manchu. Li Donghan understood that he was a sixth year student of the Japanese Lu Shi and could be considered one of the few capable ministers among the Manchu.
He was very young, not even 30 years old. He had just graduated and returned to the country. He was appointed as a general. His starting point was very high, and his treatment was different from that of the Han people.
It was no wonder that the Manchu people had been declining over the years. It was not easy for them to produce a person with military talent, so they should quickly nurture him!
Yang Deshan was originally the commander of the Eight Banners Green Camp. Although he was a Han, his ancestors had sided with the Manchu people a long time ago! It belonged to the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty! Therefore, Yang Deshan's loyalty to the Qing Dynasty was very reliable!
As for Wu Daishan, he was originally the leader of a patrol camp and was Tashan's subordinate. It was probably Tashan's effort to get the 49th Association to disgust Li Donghan and cause trouble for him!
From the appointment of these three people, Li Donghan could also see that Zhang Mingqi, Fengshan, and even Beijing did not trust him.
He had promoted these three people who had nothing to do with him or were even not on the right path to become standard leaders to guard against him!
This was to achieve balance within the 49 associations, and they could even take over Li Donghan. If nothing unexpected happened, it would not be long before they made a move on the people below!
Thinking of this situation, a cold glint flashed across Li Donghan's eyes. He sneered in his heart. These people wanted to take away his 49th Association? Dream on!
"It just so happens that I'm here to sacrifice the flag!" At this moment, Li Donghan really wanted to kill. If anyone dared to touch his military power, Li Donghan would kill them!
