Republic of China: My great warlord, many children, many blessings.

In addition, various supplies such as grain, cotton quilts, and tents.

After capturing Cao Ying, Li Yunlong rushed to Shaoguan City without stopping.

Copy the house!

The annihilation of Cao Ying shocked the entire Guangdong province.

Shen Hao's name resounded throughout the entire Guangdong province.

Yangcheng Daily: Extra! Extra! Qing Dynasty warlord Shen Hao annihilates Cao Ying's Third Independent Brigade in one fell swoop!

The General Chamber of Commerce News: Extra! Extra! Shen Hao, a mere county magistrate, has risen to prominence, first taking down Guo Changshun, then Qingshi, then Cao Ying, and finally Shaoshi, becoming the fifth most powerful warlord in Guangdong Province.

The entire Guangdong province was in an uproar. Shen Hao went from being a county magistrate to wiping out two brigades in less than two months—that was incredible.

Soon, Shen Hao's deeds were widely publicized.

Huashang Daily: How did a smelly-footed patrolman become a warlord?

Shen Haofa's family history: from a lowly patrolman to the head of a branch bureau in Beijing.

Just as the county magistrate reform was underway, he was transferred to Echeng to serve as a county magistrate.

They eliminated the local tyrant Huang Silang, which angered Brigade Commander Guo Changshun.

Everyone thought that Magistrate Shen was going to die at the hands of Guo Changshun.

Unexpectedly, Shen Hao was very cunning and eliminated Guo Changshun with lightning speed.

In the same month, just yesterday, they wiped out Cao Ying's Third Mixed Brigade.

He went from a lowly patrolman to a warlord with tens of thousands of mercenaries in less than half a year, which is nothing short of a miracle.

During his tenure as mayor of Qing City and commander of the Independent Brigade.

Shen Hao even promulgated military regulations, which I believe are currently the most humane and democratic military regulations.

The Three Main Rules of Discipline and the Eight Points for Attention;

1. Obey all commands;

Second, we will not take even a needle or thread from the people;

Third, all spoils shall be turned over to the public.

..

The reason why Shen Hao's army is so powerful may be related to his military regulations.

He was the first to propose not taking a single needle or thread from the people; this is the kind of army we aspire to, the kind of army the people love.

The entire Guangdong province was in an uproar.

Wow, Shen Haotai has fallen!

Wow, that's amazing! He's practically my idol!

'I want to follow General Shen'

"They're so powerful, yet they don't bully ordinary people, nor do they commit arson, murder, looting, or atrocities. They're a million times better than those other military units."

'Even those revolutionary soldiers didn't do as well as Shen.'

'Yes, they wouldn't dare say they wouldn't take a single needle or thread from the people.'

'I bet it's just empty talk; Shen Hao is definitely a hypocrite.'

"You motherfucking stinking fart! Say it again if you dare, and I'll smash your mouth in!"

'Yes, if you fucking say another bad word about General Shen, I'll kill you!'

The man saw a group of people staring at him with red eyes and was too scared to speak, but he still forced himself to say something:

'Hmph, you're in such a hurry, are you Shen Hao's soldiers?'

"Bullshit, we're just ordinary people from Goose City."

Let me tell you, General Shen is a just and upright official.

I don't know about others, but General Shen not only said it, he also did it.

I'm a businessman from Goose City. Back then, General Shen needed donations from the people to fight the bandits, and he promised to pay them back after the bandits were defeated.

After eliminating Zhang Mazi, General Shen kept his word and returned all the money he had donated, not even taking the money from the prostitutes.

Moreover, after eliminating Huang Silang, he distributed all of Huang's land to the common people, making him a truly upright and just official.

Let me tell you, I've never seen such a good official in my life. In Goose City, General Shen has never allowed his soldiers to bully any civilians.

In the past, Huang Silang of Goose City was extremely domineering. He robbed, stole, and killed people, and no one cared about him. He even closed his shop early at night.

Now, go to Goose City and see for yourself. The security is so good that people don't lock their doors at night, and there are military patrols every day. Every local person speaks highly of General Shen.

'I'm telling you, if you dare to talk nonsense, I'll fight you to the death.'

I'll support General Shen my whole life. Anyone who dares to say a bad word about him, I'll fight them to the death today!

'Yes, I'll fight you to the death.'

Everyone was incredulous to see the people from Goose City so protective of Shen Hao.

There were a few people around who didn't believe it.

"You don't believe me? I'll take you to see for yourselves, and I'll cover all your food and drink."

Everyone was talking about it.

Shen Hao's reputation soared overnight.

This news reached the ears of reporters, who then took a car to Goose City that same day.

Not only did it cause a sensation among the general public, but it also caused a sensation among the high-ranking officials of Guangdong Province.

Today, the three most powerful figures in Guangdong Province are Governor-General Hu Ningmin, Deputy Governor-General Chen Jiongming, and Chief of Staff of the Governor-General's Office Deng Keng.

Although the three held relatively high official positions.

However, the actual military power was held by four division commanders from Guangdong Province: Long Jiguang of the First Division and Su Shenchu, the division commander of the Second Division.

Xu Weiyang from the Third Division and Yao Yuping from the Fourth Division.

They are respectively responsible for the Dongjiang, Beijiang, Xijiang and Chaoshan regions.

These people were all members of the Tongmenghui (Revolutionary Alliance), but they each had their own plans in private.

Shen Hao's sudden rise to prominence caught everyone off guard.

Meanwhile, at the Governor's residence.

Hu Ningmin received a telegram from Mr. Sun and tried his best to win Shen over to join the Tongmenghui and the Nationalist faction.

Today, Guangdong Province is a sacred place of revolution, and nominally, everyone there is a member of the Tongmenghui (Revolutionary Alliance).

However, those who went their separate ways and acted independently all had ulterior motives.

Although Hu Ningmin, as the governor, nominally held all military and political power in Guangdong Province, he did not have direct control over his own troops.

So, Hu Ningmin called his younger sister over.

"Brother, what do you want from me?"

A woman with delicate features, fair skin, gentle phoenix eyes, and a scholarly air, wearing a cheongsam, walked over with a smile.

This woman's name is Hu Ningyuan, and she is Hu Ningmin's younger sister.

Hu Ningyuan is a well-known beauty in Guangdong Province.

Previously, Hu Ningmin had tried to win over Deng Keng by promising to marry his sister to him.

Now Hu Ningmin has a new choice: Shen Hao.

However, Shen Hao's appearance made his eyes light up.

Although Hu Ningmin was a veteran of the Nationalist faction and held a high position.

He was also the governor of Guangdong Province, but he didn't have any loyal troops under his command.

Now, Shen Hao has emerged as a dark horse, single-handedly wiping out two brigades. This combat prowess is remarkable even on a national scale.

Hu Ningmin was trying to win over Shen Hao.

Without money and power, frankly speaking, in this era, without military power, one's authority is just a blank piece of paper.

He himself has experienced this firsthand.

Although Hu Ningmin was a veteran of the Tongmenghui and the Nationalist Party, he didn't have much influence in Guangdong Province, and the underground generals didn't pay him any attention.

It's simply that he doesn't have any troops supporting him.

The only way to win over Shen Hao is through his own sister.

Moreover, he had also investigated and found that Shen Hao's reputation was indeed quite good.

100. President Yuan wanted a marriage alliance.

Hu Ningmin laughed and said, "What, can't I come to see you if there's nothing wrong?"
