Chapter 32: Beiyang Dragon King Shizhen

"Well, it's you. Inform all the soldiers of the sentry. In the trench, dig an air-raid shelter every few meters. If you are worried that the air-raid shelter is not strong, you can use wood to support it and then pour water on it. I believe that it will be as strong as a city wall tomorrow." Wei Jichen stopped Wang Jiaoshi with a smile and ordered.

"Yes, sentry officer!" Wang Jiaoshi replied solemnly, and then turned around to leave.

"By the way, what's your name?" Wei Jichen thought about it and thought it was too rude to order someone to do something without even knowing his name.

"To reply to Wei Shao, I am Wang Shizhen, the instructor of the artillery team." Wang Shizhen replied in a loud voice.

"Oh, Wang Shizhen, you go down first." Wait, Wang Shizhen! Could it be the Wang Shizhen who was later known as the "Dragon of the Three Heroes of Beiyang".

The Three Heroes of Beiyang in later generations were headed by Wang Shizhen, and Feng Guozhang, Duan Qirui and others followed.

It is clear that Wang Shizhen is talented and capable.

The reason why Wang Shizhen is not as famous as the first two is that he believes in the principle that a gentleman should not form a group, not form a faction, and not fight for power. He is a modest gentleman with both virtue and talent. Otherwise, with his prestige, he would not be able to escape the presidency of the Republic of China.

Wei Jichen was excited, but his face did not show any sign of it. Instead, he confirmed, "What is your name?"

"My name is Pinqing!"

Wei Jichen was sure of it, and he couldn't help but shout loudly in his heart: It is the dragon of the Beiyang. God is so good to me.

Wang Shizhen first taught artillery in Ye Zhichao's army. After Ye Zhichao stepped down, he was supposed to find another job, but he was transferred to Wei Jichen's subordinates by mistake.

"Wei Shao, I'll take my leave first." Wang Shizhen saw that Wei Jichen was dazed again. It was not right to leave or not to leave, so he stepped forward and reminded him.

Wei Jichen came back to his senses and nodded, saying, "Well, go down first. By the way, Pinqing, do a good job. I'm optimistic about you."

The inexplicable words made Wang Shizhen confused for a long time. This Wei Shao was indeed not something that ordinary people could understand.

Wei Jichen had another good idea that made most of the soldiers look at him with admiration. If Wei Jichen entered the system at this time, he would definitely find that his prestige value increased by more than ten points at once.

The soldiers worked harder and harder. Every time they dug a trench or an air-raid shelter, they would pour cold water on it.

On the hill, the soldiers were busy with pots and pans borrowed from the cooks, forming a unique landscape on this tense front.

"Wei Shao, Marshal Nie and Hu Ying are here." When Wei Jichen continued his inspection, Li Yunfei hurried over and said.

"What, Marshal Nie is here?" Wei Jichen didn't expect Nie Shicheng to come so quickly. He came not long after he reported the method to his superiors. It seems that the old man is still cunning and has seen the role of ice water and individual air-raid shelters.

Wei Jichen had to stop his inspection and led Li Yunfei to greet his immediate superior and his superior's superior.

Nie Shicheng was leading a group of people to carefully watch the civil engineering work of Wei Jichen's soldiers.

Hu Dianjia used his hands to break the soil and gravel on the trenches soaked in water, but he didn't break off a single bit.

"Yes, Zijie's method is well thought out and should be promoted throughout the army." Nie Shicheng saw the facts and couldn't help but admire it sincerely.

"It's really a blind cat that meets a dead mouse. He met it." Even Liu Shengxiu, who had a prejudice against Wei Jichen, had to say something that he didn't know whether it was a compliment or a derogatory word.

"Marshal Nie's Luyu Defense Army is really full of talents!" said another old general with gray beard.

This made Nie Shicheng smile.

"I, Wei Jichen, greet Marshal Nie, Hu Ying and several other adults." Wei Jichen saw such a group of old generals wearing yellow jackets and the uniforms of the second or even first rank military officers of the current dynasty, and he couldn't help but feel a headache. It seems that he will have to waste some words to explain again.

"Zijie came at the right time." Nie Shicheng stepped forward to help Wei Jichen up, smiled and patted his shoulder and continued: "Come, let me introduce you to a few adults. This is Lord Liu Shengxiu, whom you just met yesterday."

Liu Shengxiu raised his head and nodded gently, which was considered a greeting.

Wei Jichen didn't have the habit of sticking to a cold butt, so he just nodded.

"This is Lord Lu Benyuan, the commander of the Sheng Army!" Nie Shicheng smiled and pointed at the old general with gray beard.

"Wei Jichen, Wei Zijie, young people are really good. I heard that you killed the Japanese captain Saito Masaaki, and now you have come up with such a good way to solve our urgent needs. You have a bright future, a bright future." Lv Benyuan's old face was wrinkled like a chrysanthemum with laughter, but what he said was comfortable to hear.

"Lord Lu is too flattering. It's all because of the good teachings of General Nie and Hu Ying." Wei Jichen said modestly based on the essence that the credit belongs to the superiors and the blame should be consciously taken on himself.

Nie Shicheng laughed and said, "You little devil, you are very good at talking, but it's a pity that I don't have such great ability. Otherwise, I wouldn't be so worried about the trenches."

"This is General Wo Heng'e, the commander of the Qizi Training Army." Nie Shicheng pointed to the last veteran and said.

"Meet General Wo Heng'e!" Wei Jichen saluted seriously.

Wo Heng'e smiled and nodded, then said, "You are a good young man. Work hard. I am optimistic about you."

Wei Jichen...

He had just said this to Wang Shizhen not long ago. He didn't expect that someone would use it on him now. It was really a cycle of cause and effect. It was inevitable.

"Zijie, just now, a few of us were having a headache about the gravel on the Dagaoling Mountain. I didn't expect you to report the solution right after. God is really helping us. Please explain it to us quickly."

This also pointed out why these people appeared here at the same time.

Wei Jichen was not timid in front of several old generals. Instead, he talked eloquently and talked about the role of ice walls and individual air-raid shelters and the matters that should be paid attention to.

During this period, Nie Shicheng and others listened with great interest and nodded from time to time to express their agreement.

"My God, our Wei Shao is really amazing. I have been in the army for so long, and this is the first time I have seen so many generals gathered together to listen to a small sentry officer explain things to them." A soldier said admiringly.

"I really followed the right person this time. Wei Shao is both intelligent and brave. He is a great general. It is inevitable to get promoted and make money by following him." A soldier who was obsessed with officialdom continued his words.

"I have a sister who is like a fairy." Another soldier said something irrelevant.

"Sister? What does it have to do with Wei Shao?"

"I want to introduce my sister to Wei Shao." The soldier continued.

…

In one day, Wei Jichen first aroused the anger of the soldiers at the front of the Yongzi Camp, then made the soldiers understand what differential treatment meant, and finally convinced the vast majority of soldiers with his talents and initially won the respect of the soldiers.

After several old generals left, Wei Jichen broke out in a cold sweat, thinking of the fact that when he was excited in his explanation just now, he refuted the speeches of several old generals without hesitation, and once praised them like praising elementary school students.

The prime minister is very generous, you adults are generous, don't remember my disrespect just now, Wei Jichen shouted in his heart.
