It was still snowing heavily on New Year's Eve, especially at this time. The entrance of the Zhang family's commander-in-chief's manor was also covered with snow. The extremely lively noise in the courtyard formed a sharp contrast with the silence at the entrance. Zhang Han was also curious about which family's girl would stand at the entrance of the commander-in-chief's manor on such a cold day.
Zhang Hanze was wearing a brand new military uniform. Compared to the weather at the beginning of the year, he was much taller. He had just gotten off the carriage, so he didn't even recognize the servants. Yu Fengzhi, who was beside him, had seen Zhang Hanze when he was young, so he naturally didn't recognize him.
" Why don't you recognize me??"
Zhang Han also smiled and said. It was really very lively. The cars and carriages on both sides of the road were almost filled. Indeed, from afar, he could see all kinds of people, but most of them were wearing military uniforms.
"It's the Eldest Young Master, it's really the Eldest Young Master!!”
"Eldest Young Master, how did you grow so tall?”
Although Zhang Hanze had lived in seclusion in the past, the servants in the residence still recognized his appearance. On the other hand, it was the first time Yu Fengzhi saw the grown-up Zhang Hanze. This fellow was really not the mischievous and mischievous person he was when he was young. No wonder even his father could not help but praise him.
Dressed in a neat military uniform, his posture was tall and straight, and his face was also handsome. Such a figure, coupled with his father's status, would only make Zhang Hanze's status even more unattainable.
"Is it Brother Hanze?"
....................................................................................................
The girl's voice was gentle and generous. She immediately came in front of Zhang Hanze. The marriage between the Zhang family and the Yu family had been decided since they were young. There were some things that she could not change. Even though freedom of marriage had been advocated in this era, it was a pity that most marriages were still based on the parents 'orders and matchmaking.
"I am Yu Fengzhi…"
Zhang Han seemed to have almost forgotten about this sister he had played with when he was young. At this moment, this exquisite girl in a white coat had long black hair that was casually scattered. Girls from rich families in this era always had some special agility. Yu Fengzhi was only 18 years old now, and her skin was even more tender.
Zhang Han, on the other hand, was a man. Naturally, he would not be shy. He naturally grinned. After all, she was his future wife. Moreover, she was the best candidate to be his wife. This woman was smart, capable, and extremely virtuous.
"I have to trouble Sister Fengzhi to come and pick me up personally. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have stayed in Yingkou for the meeting. Such a beautiful sister, waiting for me in this snowy day, I'm really sorry.”
Zhang Han's praise also made Yu Fengzhi blush. After all, she was just an inexperienced girl. She had not experienced much at the age of eighteen.
Zhang Han directly grabbed the girl's small hand with his big hand, not giving her a chance to resist. Yu Fengzhi's mind was a little blank. Perhaps, he still thought that it was when they were young, but she was going to marry him in the future anyway. Fortunately, Yu Fengzhi obediently let her hold his hand.
Yu Fengzhi was backed by the Yu Family.
Not only did he have a huge amount of wealth, but he also had countless connections. No matter what, Zhang Hanze wanted to control all of this.
When Zhang Hanze pulled Yu Fengzhi and the others into the main hall, everyone looked at the couple, especially those who were not on Zhang Yuting's side. They felt that the future of Fengtian Province and the Zhang family was going to soar.
"Father, Uncle Yu."
"Father, Uncle Zhang."
A man and a woman appeared in front of everyone in such a way. This was also a way to announce the marriage between the Zhang and Yu families. Even Zhang Yuting and Yu Wendou did not expect that Zhang Hanze would use such a method to tell everyone.
However, in Fengtian Province, he was clearly qualified.
" Second Uncle, Third Uncle, Fourth Uncle, Fifth Uncle…"
Zhang Han also paid a visit to them one by one. He was generous and decent, which was also praised by others. This Zhang kid had really grown up. It was said that he was now leading troops in Yingkou.
However, Zhang Han saw Tang Yulin and Feng Delin sitting together. It seemed that Fengtian might really be in danger next year.
Yingkou's military industry had already taken shape. His father's 27 divisions and two mixed regiments had more than 20,000 people. Zhang Han could not be too low-key. Otherwise, he would not be able to suppress the old-fashioned stubborn people in Fengtian City.
After coming back for the new year, Zhang Han wanted to completely reform the Feng army and the various systems in Fengtian City. That was why Zhang Han was so high-profile tonight.
However, some news still reached the ears of the Fusang people. After all, the Zhang family was now the number one reconnaissance point in Fengtian City. If there were no spies in Fusang, it would be really strange. Of course, the Japanese people now did not dare to do anything openly.
Moreover, Zhang Yuting's usual cooperation with Fusang at least made them feel at ease. There would not be any radical military actions. If it were someone else, Fusang's mining in Fengtian would probably take a lot of effort.
However, it was only 1917. Zhang Yuting had not asked Fusang for help many times, so he was naturally much more independent than after that...
The next day, in Zhang Yuting's study room, Zhang Han had already prepared the Fengjun and Fengtian reform plan and handed it to his father. The plan included a large number of military, administrative, transportation, education, health, and many other aspects. Perhaps Zhang Yuting could not fully implement it, but he would take it step by step.
The direction of the reform was to cultivate a new group of people who were interested in the benefits to fight against the old group of people who were interested in the benefits. On Fengtian's side, the old-fashioned people were mostly in control of key positions in all walks of life. Take Fengtian's army for example. They were not united. It could only be said that Zhang Yuting was like the leader of these people. He did not have absolute prestige. Once Zhang Yuting wanted to carry out some reform and destroy their interests, these people would definitely join forces to resist Zhang Yuting.
"Father, the reform of the Fengjun is imminent. As time goes on, some things can't be changed even if we want to. With the current combat strength of the 27th Division and the mixed regiment, I'm afraid they can't even defeat the orthodox Beiyang Army inside the Great Wall, let alone the Guandong Army.”
"The few uncles rely on their seniority and don't put in any effort into the training of the army. If even the army can't fight a hard battle, we have to raise so many people. If we really fight a war, it will be a mess.”
"Father is now the Fengtian Military Governor. He can recruit some young people to enter Fengtian. I'm afraid it won't work if we rely on a few uncles.”
Zhang Yuting was also hesitant. After all, he had been through life and death with his brothers. He trusted them. However, he also knew that they were good bandits, but it was nonsense to talk about building Fengtian and managing the army.
"Hanze, I'm afraid it's not that easy for your uncles to give up their power!!”
" Then we'll slowly implement the new policies. With the population of Fengtian Province, we'll expand the army in the future and continue to support new officers. This way, the influence of the old-school will slowly be diluted, and naturally, it won't be able to cause any waves.”
In any case, Zhang Yuting could no longer keep up with Zhang Hanze's plans. This kid was going to start a large-scale development strategy, then a few years of industrial planning, and then he was going to set up military schools and universities. He was even going to target the many big cities inside the pass to plunder talents.。
