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

"Damn it, your revolutionary party is against me at every turn. And you, Sun, are a son of a bitch. You take 3 silver dollars from me every month and still oppose me. This is intolerable!"

Now I understand. Whatever I do, these revolutionaries come out to cause trouble. They have no skills whatsoever except causing trouble.

Since you, Mr. Sun, are determined to go against me, I am not afraid of you and will never tolerate evil.

Send me a telegram ordering all divisions nationwide to prepare for battle.

"Yes, President," Zhao Bingjun said excitedly.

With a loan of £2500 million, Yuan Shikai was brimming with confidence and had already decided to deal with these revolutionaries.

Shen Hao also received Yuan Shikai's orders.

"Shen Hao, commander of the 18th Division, was appointed Governor of Guangdong Province. He was instructed to guard against Hu Ningmin, the military governor of Guangdong Province, and keep a close eye on Li Liejun, the governor of western Jiangxi Province, and be ready for battle at any time."

173. Reward: One Silver Treasure Chest

In 1913, Yuan Shikai used silver dollars to abolish the Provisional Constitution of the Republic of China, which preceded that of Song Jiaoren. In other words, he completely abolished the French-style responsible cabinet system, and the cabinet exercised all powers.

A responsible cabinet system would render Yuan Shikai a figurehead president.

Now that Yuan Shikai has abolished the Provisional Constitution, he is the de facto president, enjoying all rights and able to act arbitrarily.

Subsequently, Yuan Shikai issued a nationwide telegram, deciding to take preemptive action by first ordering the revocation of Huang Xing's rank of general.

Next, Li Liejun was removed from his post as Governor of Jiangxi, Bai Wenwei as Governor of Anhui, and Hu Hanmin as Governor of Guangdong.

Chen Qimei is the last person wanted.

At this point, only a year had passed between Mr. Sun and Yuan Shikai's initial reconciliation and their eventual complete break.

This order led to a complete break between the two sides.

In response, the Kuomintang had no choice but to fight back, and Lee Lie-chun was the first to express his stance.

He published a proclamation denouncing Yuan Shikai.

On July 12, Li Liejun declared Jiangxi's independence in Hukou, Jiangxi, and the "Second Revolution" officially broke out.

Three days later, on the 15th, Huang Xing forced Cheng Dequan, the governor of Jiangsu, to declare independence, and Huang Xing was elected as the commander-in-chief of the Jiangsu anti-Yuan army.

On the 16th, Bai Wenwei, the governor of Anhui, declared Anhui's independence and appointed him as the commander-in-chief of the Anhui anti-Yuan army.

Chen Qimei declared Shanghai's independence and launched a campaign against Yuan Shikai's army.

On the 18th, Hu Ningmin, the governor of Guangdong, also declared Guangdong's independence.

On the same day Hu Ningmin made the announcement, Yuan Shikai issued an order for Shen Hao to immediately arrest Hu Ningmin, the military governor of Guangdong, and Chen Jiongming, the deputy military governor, and take over the entire Guangdong province.

Shen Hao was initially puzzled as to why Yuan Shikai had suddenly appointed him as the Governor of Guangdong.

So that's where it is. Both the chief and deputy governors have rebelled; it's my turn now.

When Yuan Shikai removed Li Liejun, the governor of Jiangxi, Chen Jiongming organized and recruited a Northern Expeditionary Army of 14000 men.

Shen Hao ordered Li Yunlong to lead 10,000 men to attack Chen Jiongming's Northern Expeditionary Army.

The combat commanders, Li Yunlong, Zhang Yi, Zhang Mazi, and others, looked at the sand table with confident expressions.

They didn't take Chen Jiongming's 14000 men seriously at all.

Of these, 8 were temporary recruits, and only 6 were actually regular troops.

On July 18, Chen Jiongming declared independence, issued a telegram denouncing Yuan Shikai, and appointed himself Commander-in-Chief of the Anti-Yuan Army.

Currently, besides us, Guangdong has a total of 2 divisions and 1 brigade, one commanded by division commander Su Shenchu, and the other by Chen Jiongming.

Chen Jiongming even sent a brigade to support Li Liejun in Jiangxi; he really doesn't take us seriously.

Chu Yunfei scoffed, “There are 14000 people in total, half of whom were just recruited.”

Their firepower is also inadequate; they're just a complete rabble.

"According to intelligence, most of Chen Jiongming's troops were unwilling to oppose Yuan Shikai and there was a lot of resistance."

The garrison in Zhaoqing, the gateway to Guangzhou, was highly resistant to Li Yaohan's demands.

You can try to persuade them to surrender.

Chen Jiongming had only one trusted general, Ye Ju, who was stationed in the Sanshui area to defend the region.

The artillery regiment and supply battalion stationed at Yantang also harbored resentment towards Yuan Shikai; they could also be persuaded to surrender.” Chu Yunfei finished speaking;

Li Yunlong laughed and said, "There's no need to persuade them to surrender; they will surrender on their own."

First, they attacked the Sanshui area and eliminated his trusted general, Ye Ju.

A mere three thousand men are simply not enough to fight.

Once they are wiped out, the others who have no will to fight will naturally surrender.

"Governor Shen said not to damage the buildings in Guangzhou's urban area; these will all belong to us in the future."

"Of course, Old Li isn't stupid."

"The battle plan is set. We'll start by attacking the Sanshui area."

The attack will begin at six o'clock tomorrow morning.

"Haha, perfect timing! Commander Shen gave us five hundred boxes of artillery shells. Let's bombard them with a hundred boxes first, and let them know what it feels like to have their heads buzzing."

"agree"

"agree"

Meanwhile, Shen Hao was playing with his child at his manor.

Now, the women he married in the capital have all given birth to children.

Bao Shuang, Tao Yingying, Hu Xueli, Xiao Fuzi, and Fang Yanyun all gave birth, and the rewards were all very generous.

Bao Shuang gave birth to a girl, Fang Yanyun gave birth to a daughter, Xiao Fuzi gave birth to a girl, and Tao Yingying gave birth to a boy.

Hu Xueli gave birth to a daughter.

However, the reward was very generous for Bao Shuang's first child.

[Congratulations, host! Your concubine Bao Shuang has given birth to your first child, making a great contribution to the continuation of the family line.]

Reward: One million silver dollars

[Congratulations, host! Your concubine Tao Yingying has given birth to your second child, making a great contribution to the continuation of the family line.]

Reward: 200,000 silver dollars

[Congratulations, host! Your concubine, Fang Yanyun, has given birth to your third child, making a great contribution to the continuation of the family line.]

Reward: 200,000 silver dollars

[Congratulations, host! Your concubine, Hu Xueli, has given birth to your fourth child, making a great contribution to the continuation of the family line.]

Reward: 200,000 silver dollars

[Congratulations, host! Your concubine, Xiao Fuzi, has given birth to your fifth child, making a great contribution to the continuation of the family line.]

Reward: 200,000 silver dollars

[Ding dong!

Task assigned: Compile a family tree based on the Five Elements.

The Five Elements family tree, with its mutual generation and restraint, is said to ensure continuous prosperity for five generations.

By including all children in the family genealogy, the family can maintain its clan authority.

Even if the family has moved to different places, or if the years have passed, the branches are numerous and the lineages are complex.

As long as names are chosen according to the generational poem, the continuity of bloodlines can be guaranteed, and the lineage will remain orderly and not disordered.

Completing the Five Elements Family Tree Compilation task will grant you Heavenly Blessings, a Five Elements Spiritual Body, and a mysterious gift pack.

Each time a family genealogy is compiled, a silver chest will be awarded.

Please keep up the good work, host!

Then, a golden family tree appeared in Shen Hao's system space.

Shen Hao never expected that having a child so soon would lead to the family having many descendants.

We also need to compile a family genealogy based on the Five Elements?

Wouldn't that mean five generations living under one roof?

What to do then.

However, I didn't think much about what would happen later, since five generations under one roof was still a long way off.

Moreover, Shen Hao discovered that, apart from the first child who was rewarded with 100 million silver dollars, the reward for each of the other children was 20 silver dollars.

In other words, the rewards for having a boy or a girl are about the same, and the system does not discriminate against boys.

However, now that I have this task, I can only have boys. If I have a daughter, it will be years before I can have five generations under one roof.

Shen Hao thought for a moment and then started with gold.

Rong's son was Ke, and Ke's son was Ming.
