Chapter 419: Abandonment
The local officers in Manchuria, Guo Xing'a, were not distressed at all, everyone was in a cooperative relationship, and these people took a lot of money from Guo Xing'a, and now let them go home and cool down, Guo Xing'a does not have any burden. But a large number of old subordinates who have followed themselves since the deserted village era, Guoxing Ake is a little unable to start. These old subordinates have served Guoxinga for five or six years, and many of them are in the prime of life, and Guoxinga said that for the sake of the overall situation, let them go home to be rich, which is really a bit unkind.
However, it is true that they are no longer suitable for important positions, and military positions are not used to reward merit, and they can only retire for the sake of future development. But after happily giving the order for the retirement of Manchurian officers, Guo Xing'a couldn't open his mouth to his own people, and Bi Yuntao, Tan Shaoguang and others were embarrassed to go back and let their old subordinates get out. That's what happened, but no one knew how to speak, and the big guy started to have trouble again.
"I also have mistakes, and the development of the country and the army does not need us anymore, I will set an example, and be the first to step down! With my example, it's easy for everyone to go back! Everyone stared at each other for a long time, and the nominal chief of the General Staff of the North Manchurian General Staff, Sai Shang'a, stood up and spoke.
This time to investigate the corruption of the army, we also found the fault of Saishana and Xiande, who were not seriously corrupted, but they interfered in politics and caused a very bad impact. When the local residents and immigrants were resettled, according to Goxinga's opinion, those who were able to read and write went to the city, and those who were not literate and weak went to the countryside, but Seshana and Xiande approached Pi Runmin and forced the government to introduce an unfair treatment for various reasons. Those who were originally inlaid with the blue flag and the positive blue flag in Manchuria must go to the city, and they must have priority treatment in work, study, public office, etc., that is, the two blue flag priority policy that later affected Manchuria for decades.
North Manchuria soon developed into an industrial country, and the cities were far better than the villages in terms of living standards, and many of the people who originally lived in the villages took advantage of it. Moreover, Cezanne and others also embezzled part of the military funds, arranged comfortable and luxurious residences for the population of the two Blue Banners free of charge, and provided good teaching and working conditions. A group of people from the two blue flags who were inexplicably moved out of the ravine have become first-class citizens in a daze, and everything is taken care of, and they are so beautiful that they can't do it.
Saishana and Xiande don't know these people outside the border, although they belong to the same flag or pro-flag, they have no friendship at all. The reason why they do this is because they are in a kind of mentality of returning home. Just like the emperor is rich and rich, he wants to give special treatment to the positive yellow flag and the inlaid yellow flag, Guo Xing'a also has to take care of the two blue flags. Guo Xing'a was born as a leader with a blue flag, and now that he is wide, he is a feudal official or a landlord of the king of people, so he naturally has to put on a façade, let his poor relatives share the profits, and let them talk about Guoxing's goodness. The townships of Guoxing'a have all followed Guoxing'a together and become a huge Gu'an aristocratic group, so the remaining poor relatives can only be people with the same banner. The Manchurian blue flag outside the customs and the Guoxing A are of the same origin, so it is natural to focus on taking care of them, and the blue flag and the blue flag are like a family, so they naturally have to be taken care of as one.
Although they did this to buy a good deal for Guoxinga, it was illegal to embezzle military funds, and they deliberately raised the two blue flags, which also violated the original intention of equality for everyone in Guoxinga. Pi Runmin took into account the lofty status of the two elders, so he didn't say anything, and Guo Xing'a knew about it, so it was not good to indulge it anymore. The cost-on provision of housing free of charge must be abolished, but the care of other aspects can only be diluted a little bit, otherwise it will be done too violently and it will be easy to provoke other accidents. Guo Xing'a couldn't talk about these two people, so he could only complain a few words in private, but he didn't expect Saishan'a to publicly resign today because of this matter.
Saizan is not yet forty years old, and when he was in the prime of life, it is too wronged for him to retire now. Although with the step-by-step development of Guoxing's power, Saishan'a can no longer assist Guoxing'a, but after all, he is Huiyang's minister of Tuogu, and his status is different from ordinary people, and Guoxing'a has never moved his mind to let him give way.
"Uncle Sai! Don't be impulsive! Guo Xing'a thought that Saishan'a was thinking too much about the two blue flags, so he hurriedly got up to dissuade him.
"Fifth master, don't persuade me! Xiao Sai and I have already thought about it! Not to mention whether I am old or not, my thinking and knowledge are old, and I can't help you anymore, it's time to make way for young and learned people! I was going to find a time alone, but now it just so happens that the two of us are waiting for you again. The two of us retreat first, and the people below should also be convinced, the one who dares to disagree with his qualifications will let him come to talk to us! Xiande, who was in good health but liked to use crutches, also stood up, with a peaceful smile on his face. Saishana is in the prime of life, but Xiande, who is in his sixties, is really old.
"Look old!" Guoxing Awan didn't expect that the two of them actually discussed the matter of retiring in private.
"The reincarnation of the way of heaven, the replacement of the old and the new, this is the way of heaven! Fifth Master, you are still young, you can't let us old guys always be by your side. Wait until I die, and then give way, and let the young people not come out! Hahaha...... "Saishana is also very calm, he and Xiande really have a heart to retreat, and this time it just happened to build a step for Guoxinga."
"Hmmm! Thank you! Guo Xing'a sat back and just nodded silently, but everyone saw the general crying.
When the autumn wind blew across the land of North Manchuria, an astonishing military order spread throughout the Manchurian army, and all officers at all levels and graduates of irregular military academies were honored with honors. Except for a large number of high-ranking officers from the Gu'an lineage, who once went to Lu University to study in the general class, most of the middle-level officers graduated from the crash course, and they were still young and didn't want to go home to retire. If you don't want to retire, there is a way, Lu Dahe and the newly built Qiqihar Lecture Hall are open to everyone, and if you come back with a diploma, you can retain your military position. It's a pity that eighty percent of the people don't have this ability, they didn't go to the general class, just because they didn't have the ability to read and make progress.
"Lao Tzu has followed the general for so many years, and this unit has been pulled up by Lao Tzu single-handedly, and now let Lao Tzu Zhishi, this is not bullying! Lao Tzu can't do anything but fight, and if he doesn't bring troops, why should Lao Tzu go! "The Manchurian officers honestly packed up their things and prepared to go home to develop their hobbies, and the Gu'an officers were ready to make trouble.
"Don't do anything, go home and eat, the general can still starve you to death!" Not a penny of salary is missing yours, but you are not allowed to lead the soldiers, go home and take the children! "Troublemaking also pays attention to coordination, and a reckless person is the most suitable for a person to speak cool words.
"Grandma, why don't you let me lead the troops, there are no soldiers under my hands, and I can't sleep!" After hearing the order, the reckless person felt aggrieved.
"This is the general's military order, you still dare to disobey!" If you talk too much, you are running on people.
"What the is this! The general is the most affectionate, how could his old man give such a ruthless order, this is a mess! "Reckless people are actually not stupid, and they scold very measuredly.
"Palm, you kid is going to rebel! The general's military order is written in black and white, and it can still be fake! "Wind and cold words are to keep building steps, and he also wants to scold but he doesn't have a seed, so he desperately encourages others and listens to others' scolding, and he is just as happy.
"It must be those scholars of Pi Runmin, these scholars desperately can't see them in front of the two armies, and they are all the ones who are bubbling up behind them. It must have been them who bewitched the general, so they had the order to harm people! "Reckless people love and hate, they are very skillful to remove the people they can't hate, and then find a suitable target next to them and fire all the way.
"You two don't make a fool of yourself, Uncle Sai and Xian Lao have all retired, and the position of chief of the general staff has been relinquished, you multiple eggplants, go home honestly!" Understanding, at last the strife has ended.
"What is the identity of Uncle Sai and Xian Lao, why did they even retire!" The reckless man exclaimed.
"The two masters shared their worries for the Lord and took the initiative to resign. We don't understand the reason, but you are also the master's minions, don't look for scolding, be honest and obey! "Those who understand cannot explain it, but they know what they know best.
The Gu'an banner people inherited their consistent tradition of obedience, obediently gave up their positions, tore off their epaulettes, and became emeritus soldiers. Guilty Guo Xing'a, of course, had to take care of these old subordinates, and built retirement areas for them in various places, so that they could have fun to their heart's content. If someone has the heart to devote themselves to industry, the government will also strongly support and give various policy support, so as not to let these former heroes die idle.
Xiande chose a place by himself, went to Dalian, and built a luxurious sea-view manor, looking like he wanted to spend the rest of his life in peace. However, before leaving, he made some small moves, Fengsheng'a, Acton, Nash, Tong Jia, Chengtai, Fukang and other incumbent Gu'an senior officials and soldiers, he searched all over and arranged his children and grandchildren. Although Saishana gave up the position of chief of the general staff to Tan Shaoguang, he did not go home to rest, and Guoxinga arranged a job for him that was very suitable for him. The military, government, and civil affairs grasped it to manage New Guinea, which had just been acquired from the Dutch, and at present, the British and German tentacles had not yet extended to New Guinea, so Cezanne became the owner of the world's second largest island.
In this big change, there is also a young old man who has withdrawn from active service, and he is Mu Shun, the first master under Guoxing A. After the development of firearms and the emergence of professional cavalry talents like Bo Ritu, Mu Shun's position became more and more embarrassing, he was very unsuitable for modern tactics, and the command of cavalry was not as sophisticated as Bo Ritu and others, he felt that he was just messing around with his old qualifications. After the great development of the Manchurian Army, Mu Shun became even more idle, his heavy cavalry battalion was absorbed by Fuquan's Guards Brigade, and he became a senior staff officer of the General Staff Headquarters, but he did not know anything. After doing nothing for a long time, Mu Shun also withdrew from active duty like Saishana and others, and Guo Xing'a originally arranged a position for him, such as the lord of Borneo, but Mu Shun refused, because it was not suitable for him.
There are many like-minded people in Manchuria Mushun, they are all rich, but they are also very declining, they have their own dreams in their hearts, but they feel that they are abandoned by the times. They always felt that they did not belong to this era, and felt that they should live in the early Qing Dynasty, so that they could establish their own merits in the Eight Banners powerhouse. But now there is no need for the Eight Banners to ban the brigade, the Eight Banners in the customs are degenerate, and the Eight Banners of Guoxinga are just an ID card. The lost Mu Shun left the army along with the equally lost Manchurian and Gu'an officers, and even without this change, they would have to leave sooner or later, because it was no longer suitable for them.
With nothing to do, they set up a tour group headed by Mu Shun and began to travel around, buying drunk in major cities in North Manchuria, trying to find the direction of their dreams. Then they met a man who was also confused, this richly dressed fellow, who was also very lost, his name was Ma San, and his financial route had been cut off recently.
