In fact, the military salary income of the officers and men of the Jiangfang battalion was higher than that of Wang Yongan's troops, but if the investment was high, the army could not be expanded, after all, there were quite a lot of garrisons in the Liangjiang region, including Jiangxi Province, Anhui Province, and Jiangsu Province, and Zhang Renjun had to consider the issue of military salary distribution.

Of course, the 24th Mixed Association is not included in this list, the previous 24 Mixed Association Department military salaries were allocated by the Fifth Town of the Beiyang New Army, and later because of their military exploits, they were directly allocated by the Ministry of War and never received any subsidies from the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion, on the other hand, Wang Yongtai and his brothers had money, and the funds they invested in army construction were three times more than those allocated by the imperial court, so they did not have to worry about offending Zhang Renjun, Zhang Xun and others. This point especially makes other armies jealous and jealous, in the final analysis, it is the 24th Mixed Association that has a hard waist, and it is precisely because Wang Yongan can make money that the 24th Mixed Association is different from the other garrisons in various parts of the two rivers.

Zhang Xun is also very dissatisfied with Wang Yongtai and Wang Yongan for this reason, especially Wang Yongan, what kind of bank is he engaged in, the city is full of turmoil, what kind of business does a dignified court official do, but someone still repairs him, under the instigation of Xu Shaozhen, Zhang Xun is bound to give him a little embarrassment.

In addition, the participants included Xu Shaozhen, the commander of the 9th Town of the New Army in Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province, and Liu Zhijie, the commander of the 45th New Army, She Shoucheng, the 46th Association Commander Wang Keji, the 23rd Mixed Association Commander Ai Zhongqi stationed in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, Wei Zonghan, the 13th Mixed Association Commander stationed in Huai'an, Jiangsu Province, Chen Nianfan, the 18th Infantry Association Commander of the Beiyang New Army stationed in Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province, Xu Dahong, the 31st Mixed Association Commander stationed in Anqing, Anhui Province, and Yang Baoshan, the 17th Infantry Association Commander of the Beiyang New Army stationed in Hefei, Anhui Province. Xu Baoshan, the commander of the naval battalion stationed in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province, Li Jingcheng, the commander of the Danyang patrol battalion stationed in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province, Qi Rui, the commander of the patrol battalion stationed in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, Li Changdong, the commander of the sailor battalion stationed in Wuhu, Anhui Province, Wang Yongan, deputy coordinator and Li Yao, deputy chief of the 24th Mixed Association stationed in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province, Wu Jiezhang, the provisional commander of the 27th Mixed Formation Association stationed in Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province, Zhou Shiqi, the commander of the Sailor Battalion stationed in Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province, and Ouyang Wu, the commander of the Jiangxi Mixed Formation Association, stationed in Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province.

The reason why Wang Yongan was reluctant to see them early was also because he knew that these people might not have a good face for him, who let the Twenty-Four Mixed Association develop too quickly and offend everyone early. Among them, the troops stationed in Jiangbei include the 13th Mixed Association, the 14th Mixed Association, the 17th Beiyang New Army Infantry Association, the 18th Beiyang New Army Infantry Association, and the 24th Beiyang New Army Mixed Association, except for the 18th Beiyang New Army Infantry Association Chen Nianfan and Wang Yongan have a good relationship, the rest of the people are suppressed by the 24th Mixed Association, taking the 13th Mixed Association stationed in Huai'an as an example, the Mixed Association only has more than 1,000 infantry, lack of guns and artillery, and the 24th Mixed Association passes through Huai'an on weekdays. The brothers who looked at the thirteenth mixed association felt pitiful......

All of you are arrogant soldiers, and they are not subordinate to each other, so when everyone gathers in Nanjing, it is inevitable that there will be some friction, Wang Yongan told his subordinates not to cause trouble, but don't be afraid of something, if there is a conflict with other departments, no matter what the reason, win the battle. Afterwards, whether to apologize or make persistent efforts is up to Wang Yongan to decide.

Subsequently, Wang Yongan arrived belatedly and arrived at the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion to participate in the meeting.

The Liangjiang Governor's Mansion is the Presidential Palace of the Republic of China in later generations, covering a large area, there are many courtyards in the house, the front yard is solemn and solemn, the pavilions and pavilions in the back yard are flexible, and everyone passes through the atrium to unload the armor and deliver the weapons, and then come to the hall. The hall was demolished and rebuilt more than a decade later, and became the famous presidential office building, but at this time it was only a small two-story building, and the clerks had already boiled tea and placed it on the coffee table next to the chair.

Wang Yongan and Li Yao talked about the magnanimity of the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion, and when they walked up the stairs and came to the hall, they were guided by Ma Ben to sit down. Due to the important position of the 24th Mixed Association, he sat in the second place on the left side of the head, and the first place on the left was Zhang Xun, the governor of Jiangnan, and behind Zhang Xun sat his staff member Wan Shenyan and his confidant Su Xilin by the window. So according to the rules, Li Yao sat in the window seat next to Su Xilin.

Sitting at the head of Wang Yongan was Wu Jiezhang, the provisional 27th mixed association commander from Jiangxi, and Zhang Renjun arranged for Wu Jiezhang to sit under Wang Yongan, in fact, with the purpose of attending the meeting smoothly. Although this Wu Jiezhang is an old man in the army and has great prestige, he is kind and does not like to fight. However, the two generals behind Wu Jiezhang were angry, and their eyes showed indignant looks, these two were Wu Jiezhang's students and adjutants Li Liejun and Hu Qian.

The first place on the right is Xu Shaozhen, the ninth town of the New Army, the second on the right is Liu Zhijie, the commander of the ninth town of the New Army, and the third on the right is Xu Dahong, the commander of the 31st Mixed Association of Anhui Province. In fact, everyone knows that Xu Dahong is not qualified to sit in the third place on the right, but who let this third place can only be seated by a general from Anhui Province. The rest of the people sat down in the back in turn, and the order of the arrangement was nothing more than seniority and strength, and Chen Nianfan, who had neither qualifications nor strength, and was honest and honest, sat at the end, and even the seat was not as good as Xu Baoshan's patrol battalion management belt.

Wang Yongan looked at the seats of everyone, and knew in his heart that he could sit in the second place on the left, completely by virtue of the second brother Wang Yongtai's position of killing people, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the army is really a place that emphasizes strength. Just like today's meeting, no matter how much he represents the army, in the eyes of everyone, the 24th Mixed Association is also Wang Yongtai's, and he cannot replace Wang Yongtai's position - unless he leads the team to win a big victory.

After everyone sat down, according to the rules, Zhang Renjun, the governor of Liangjiang, accompanied by his confidants Chen Zhaotang and Yuan Zhaofu, came to the hall. Wang Yongan reluctantly knelt down, this is the rule of officialdom in the late Qing Dynasty, and the lower officials meet the upper officials, which is a real kneeling worship, not bowing to the officials.

"You may be seated." Zhang Renjun said in a fluent Jingshi official dialect that he himself is a native of Zhili, and his official dialect is extremely standard, the words are correct and round, and it is very good.

The generals sat down one after another, and the anti-bandit meeting officially began, and everyone raised their heads to look at Zhang Renjun to see what he had ordered.

Zhang Renjun waved his hand, and Chen Zhaotang, who was standing beside him, took out a telegram, Zhang Renjun took the telegram and held it up, and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, just this morning, we received an urgent telegram from Guangzhou, the rebels launched a rebellion three days ago, the rebels set fire to the governor's yamen, and Zhang Mingqi, the governor of Liangguang, was almost killed. ”

"What?" Everyone stood up and said in surprise.
