Chapter 638: Xu Shichang Arrives
Tan Feng smiled indifferently and replied: "Comfort Shuai, during the First Sino-Japanese War, do you think that only the 10,000 troops under Nie Gongting can defeat the tens of thousands of Japanese troops?" The year before last, do you think that just relying on a small Mukden, *** 10,000 troops, you can defeat the 200,000 Japanese-Russian coalition army? Don't say it's impossible, in Zhang Yi, anything happens, it's possible, at least I knew before the accident that he was already preparing for the current war. [Ran^Text^Library] []. [774] [buy]. [com]--Now the whole northeast plus the Inner Mongolian, there are 300,000 troops, and the current navy has begun to take shape, and he has this other secret weapon in his hand, although I don't know what it is, but I am sure that he is a person who will always have a backhand! ”
Yuan Shikai nodded and said: "Now Zhang Jianzhi can indeed be called a strong soldier, but I am afraid that now, whether it is Tsarist Russia or Japan, the history of China signing the alliance under the city can be reproduced by just one hand, Zhang Jianzhi is worthy of being the first hero of China in this era!" It's just that with only 300,000 troops under his command, I still don't think very much about him, don't forget, he is now facing not only Tsarist Russia and Japan, but also England, France, and even Germany, America and other European powers! It is possible for these countries to organize even an army of hundreds of thousands, if not millions! ”
Tan Feng said with a smile: "Comfort Shuai, what you said is right, if these countries really make up their minds to destroy China at all costs, then even if Zhang Yi has 300,000 male divisions, it will not be useful, not to mention Zhang Yi and the Republic of China, even if it is England and France, they dare not dare to dare to compete with all the powers in the world!" However, it is impossible for them to work together, at least England and Germany are competing for the status of the world's first power, France and Germany are even more feuding, and the United States has always pursued a policy of neutrality, they do not like war, do you think they can be twisted into a rope? ”
Yuan Shikai was stunned for a few seconds, and suddenly laughed, patted Tan Feng's shoulder, and said: "Brother Jianshan, what you said was that I was stunned, haha, it was really a great talent, it was really a great talent." ”
Tan Feng hurriedly said politely: "Comfort Shuai, you have a good reputation, where does Tan Feng dare to be?" ”
Yuan Shikai continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, now the situation in China is very clear, in the Gyeonggi area, the Qing army will definitely not be able to resist the attack of the coalition army, and it is only a matter of time before the city of Beijing is breached. ”
Liang Shiyi pondered quietly for a while, and said: "Comfort Shuai, although our strength is not weak now, but the two provinces of Guangxi and Zhili are not boundary, Shandong and Henan provinces, and they are not completely controlled in our hands, our foundation is not solid, once a mutation occurs, I am afraid that we will give up all our efforts, and the subordinate means to lay a solid foundation with all our might, accumulate grain, and slowly become the king!" ”
Yuan Shikai nodded and said: "Accumulate grain and slowly become king, this is the method used by Zhu Yuanzhang back then, well, not bad." What about the rest of you? ”
Wang Shizhen replied: "Comfort Shuai, now in the whole of China, in fact, the real strength is one south and one north, there is comfort Shuai in the south, Zhang Jianzhi in the north, subordinates think, we might as well watch from the wall, take advantage of Zhang Jianzhi and the most powerful battles, sneak attack the Northeast, defeat Zhang Jianzhi in one fell swoop, the future of China will definitely fall into the hands of comfort Shuai, Li Hongzhang and Zhang Zhi's 'hole' and other generations are already over seventy years old, no longer the courage of the year!" ”
Yuan Shikai's face changed, and he said angrily: "Shizhen, Hugh is talking nonsense, now the court has not fallen, we are still the courtiers of the Qing Dynasty, the king humiliates the ministers to death, understand?" What do you mean it's just me and Zhang Jianzhi? Zhang Zhi's 'cave' has been operating painstakingly in Liangguang and Huguang for more than 10 years, and has a solid foundation; Li Hongzhang has been in charge of Beiyang for 20 years, as long as he ascends to the heights, he can gather 100,000 people in the blink of an eye. You're far from it! ”
Wang Shizhen's face turned red and said, "Yes, comfort handsome, my subordinates know that they are wrong." ”
Yuan Shikai sighed and said: "Shizhen, this batch of manpower that came out of the Tianjin Wubei Academy, I am most optimistic about you, Huafu and others have their own shortcomings, only you have the most of my mind, but you are still too young, you still can't see through many things, follow Brother Shichang and them to learn, these people are full of knowledge, and China's things are the most difficult to see through......"
Yuan Shikai looked at Tan Feng and said, "Brother Jianshan, what do you think?" ”
Tan Feng smiled bitterly and said: "Comfort Shuai, you can afford me, when it comes to marching and fighting, I can make some suggestions, when it comes to political matters, do you think I am better than Brother Shizhen?" Am I younger than him, and how far worse am I? ”
At this time, a loud laugh sounded outside the 'door', "Yo, today is lively enough, Comfort Pavilion, Hireqing, you are all here." ”
Yuan Shikai looked up, only to see a middle-aged man swaggering in, Yuan Shikai saw this person, smiled happily, and laughed: "Juren, haha, you are finally back, I look forward to you coming back." ”
The person who came was Yuan Shikai's first think tank, Xu Shichang.
Xu Shichang was sent out by Yuan Shikai to Europe some time ago to inspect the military, economy, negotiate the procurement of ordnance and other matters, this is four months, Yuan Shikai was still in Tianjin at that time, and when Xu Shichang returned to China after a business trip, Yuan Shikai had been in office for more than two months.
Yuan Shikai grabbed Xu Shichang's hand and said with a smile: "Juren, you are going, but it is only half a year, without you by my side, I don't feel comfortable doing anything." Come on, let's introduce to you first, this is the new Tan Feng, Tan Jianshan, Brother Jianshan, this is my little Zhuge ah, Xu Shichang, Brother Juren! ”
Xu Shichang said with a smile: "Brother Jianshan, although you and I are meeting for the first time, but your name has already sharpened my ears out of the cocoon, Zhang Jianzhi's four King Kongs, one race is stronger, welcome Brother Jianshan." Tan Feng hurriedly arched his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Juren, I am smiling, little brother, I was originally a victim of the victims, and I came here because I did not give up on the Comfort Pavilion, and I have long admired the name of Brother Juren, and I hope that my brother will not hesitate to teach me in the future!" Yuan Shikai said with a smile: "Juren, Jianshan, you don't have to be polite, Juren, this domestic mutation, I am rushing to the tricky time, you finally rushed back, if you don't come back, I will send you a telegram to urge you." ”
