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

Therefore, whether a child is naughty or not, and whether they will be successful in the future, depends on the success of their parents.

Zhang Zuolin slapped his forehead, gave a thumbs up, and said, "Ah Hao, your insights have really enlightened me."

I used to struggle with how to teach my brats, but now that you've explained it, I understand.

If your parents are poor and unambitious, don't let your children run wild. Let them make their own way in the world and don't give them any guidance.

"If parents are successful, should they be strictly disciplined and allowed to follow their own path?"

Shen Hao shook his head and said, "Uncle Zhang, I was just saying this casually, you don't need to take it seriously. A person can't teach you everything, but a demonstration is easy to learn."

"Haha, that makes sense, that makes sense. Ah Hao, it's so comfortable chatting with you, you give me a lot of advice."

"You've been traveling for so many days, get some rest. I'll treat you to a welcome-back dinner tonight," Zhang Zuolin said.

Shen Hao smiled and said, "Then thank you very much, Uncle Zhang."

Haha, you're welcome.

Immediately, Zhang Zuolin instructed his servants to prepare hot water for Shen Hao to wash up.

Shen Hao had been traveling for days and was feeling quite tired.

So after taking a bath, he fell asleep.

While Shen Hao was resting, Zhang Zuolin notified his other sworn brothers to host a welcome dinner for him.

Of course, there's also a hint of showing off in this.

Zhang Zuolin was naturally happy to have found such a perfect son-in-law.

After a brief encounter with Shen Hao, he discovered that Shen Hao's grasp of the situation and his character were truly exceptional.

I wonder who cultivated this kind of insight in me.

After giving the notification, Zhang Zuolin was in a great mood, and he looked forward to it.

I'm looking forward to seeing the envious and jealous look on Feng Delin's face tonight.

It was 7 p.m., but the weather was still exceptionally cold.

Zhang Zuolin ordered a large hot pot to be prepared, and everyone ate mutton hot pot together.

The fourth son is Zhang Jinghui, the fifth son is Feng Delin, the sixth son is Tang Yulin, and the eighth son is Zhang Zuoxiang;

The eight brothers reunited, each harboring their own secrets.

When Zhang Zuolin brought Shen Hao in, everyone stood up to greet him.

Shen Hao is now the commander of the 18th Division, and also the commander of the Beiyang Central Army.

Zhang Zuolin's 27th Division and Feng Delin's 28th Division were both local divisions. In terms of status, Shen Hao was slightly higher than them, since he was also considered a direct subordinate of Yuan Shikai.

"These are my sworn brothers. This is my eldest brother Ma Longtan, second brother Wu Junsheng, third brother Sun Liechen, fourth brother Zhang Jinghui, fifth brother Feng Delin, sixth brother Tang Yulin, and eighth brother Zhang Zuoxiang."

Shen Hao was certainly familiar with these people; he had watched the TV series "Young Marshal".

The characters with the most screen time are the fifth brother, Feng Delin, and the eighth brother, Zhang Zuoxiang.

The eldest of these men, Ma Longtan, came from a military family, but he was later stripped of his military power by Zhang Zuolin. Nevertheless, he was a tough guy and worthy of respect.

When the Japanese pirates invaded, they intended to appoint Ma Longtan as an official. To refuse, Ma Longtan banged his head against the headboard, cracking his skull open.

Among them, the second son Wu Junsheng, the third son Sun Liechen, and the eighth son Zhang Zuoxiang were all Zhang Zuolin's direct subordinates.

The sixth brother, Tang Yulin, was determined to resist the Japanese.

These people all have backbone.

Only the fourth son, Zhang Jinghui, worked for the Japanese pirates and was a traitor.

Of course, they were still dissatisfied with Zhang Xueliang becoming the Commander-in-Chief of the Northeast.

I recalled the information about these people in my mind.

Shen Hao smiled and said, "Greetings, uncles."

"No, no, Commander Shen, please don't call me that. We are not of your rank; we should treat each other as equals."

"Yes, Yuting is your father-in-law, we are not, we can't accept that title."

"Commander Shen, please don't stand on ceremony, please have a seat."

Everyone hurriedly declined;

Shen Hao is of a higher status than them, so it would look really awkward if they were to call him their elder.

Zhang Zuolin is his father-in-law, so he should address him however he wants, but they are not.

Shen Hao stopped pursuing the matter.

After they sat down, Feng Delin said, "That girl Yuting Shoufang managed to find such a good husband, I reckon your ancestors' graves are emitting auspicious smoke."

Tang Yulin laughed and said, "I think it must be emitting green smoke, otherwise Yuting wouldn't have achieved what it has today."

159. This Commander Shen is really heavy.

These words, though barbed and sarcastic, did not anger Zhang Zuolin; on the contrary, they pleased him even more.

The two are now evenly matched, with similar strength and status.

The next step is to see who gets the governorship first.

Now, Zhang Zuolin and Shen Hao are married, and Shen Hao is also the son-in-law of Yuan Shikai; they are all connected.

As things stand, Zhang Zuolin still has a better chance of winning the position of governor.

The more jealous Feng Delin was, the happier he became, his joy was palpable. Zhang Zuolin couldn't help but burst into laughter, saying, "Fifth Brother, can you have a daughter too? I'm afraid the daughter you, Old Feng, give birth to won't be presentable and will just be a burden to you."

"Hahaha"

The crowd roared with laughter.

Although Zhang Zuolin was short, he was not ugly at all.

He not only lacked the air of a bandit, but also possessed a refined and scholarly air.

The daughter was naturally pretty.

Feng Delin has a square face and a rugged, masculine appearance; his daughter's genes would definitely make her a tomboy.

"Yuting, you're talking nonsense! My daughter is definitely no worse than yours!"

"Come on, let's not talk about the daughter anymore. Tonight, we're having a welcome dinner for Commander Shen. Why waste time on idle chatter? Let's drink until we're drunk!" Wu Junsheng, the second brother, quickly tried to smooth things over and warm up the atmosphere.

"I'll go first, Commander Shen, let me toast you," the third brother, Sun Liechen, chimed in with a smile.

Just as Shen Hao raised his glass to clink glasses, Feng Delin blocked Shen Hao and Sun Liechen from doing so.

He even replaced their bowls with larger ones, saying, "Men shouldn't drink from small cups; if you're going to drink, use a big bowl."

All eyes turned to Shen Hao.

It's obvious they don't think Shen Hao is up to the task.

They live in Northeast China, where it's freezing cold, and drinking is a regular part of their lives.

However, although Shen Hao looks tall and strong, his alcohol tolerance is questionable.

In their minds, Southerners who drink 580-yuan liquor are still no match for them.

They can handle yellow wine, but they're definitely no match for white wine.

With his spatial ring, Shen Hao wasn't afraid of drinking. Since Feng Delin wanted to mess with him, Shen Hao wasn't going to back down.

Without further ado, he picked up the bowl and said with a smile, "Here, bottoms up!"

After saying that, Shen Hao drank it all in one gulp.

After finishing the drink, he turned the bowl upside down in the air, leaving not a single drop.

Seeing this, Zhang Zuolin and the others were somewhat surprised, not expecting Shen Hao to have such a high alcohol tolerance.

"it is good!"

"Good alcohol tolerance"

"He's a real man."

Everyone gave a thumbs-up in praise.

Most of them came from bandit backgrounds, and drinking from large bowls suited their temperament better.

Sun Liechen didn't hesitate and downed it in one gulp.

Zhang Zuolin clapped his hands and laughed, "Fifth Brother, you're the one who asked for the bowls to be changed, you have to show your appreciation. You can't just stir up trouble without doing anything; that's not very human."

Fifth Brother Feng Delin snorted and said, "Pour the wine, who's afraid of who?"

The maidservant hurriedly filled the wine cup.

“Come here, Commander Shen. I heard about you when you wiped out Guo Changshun and Cao Ying’s two brigades.”

I'd never had the chance to see it before, so I was quite surprised to see it today.

I never expected that the famous Commander Shen would be so young. Truly, heroes emerge from among the young.
