After the Wang brothers reconciled, Wang Yongan became the leader of the Jiangbei Group, and the original leader Wang Yongtai fell to the second, so Wang Yongtai usually did not participate in this meeting, nor did he take the initiative to reach out to take power, everything was handed over to his younger brother to deal with, and he was just a nominal No. 2 person. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info However, on major issues, Wang Yongan still respects Wang Yongtai's ideas very much, and Wang Yongtai has been immersed in the Beiyang Army for many years and is familiar with all parties. So Wang Yongan asked Wang Yongtai: "What do you think of the patrol envoy?" Because it was really in public, Wang Yongan called his second brother a patrol envoy, and the two of them were not so formal in private.

Wang Yongtai said: "Sun Yat-sen's appearance is too ugly, but fortunately, there are many people behind him who support him, even if he is not thick-skinned, others will help him to practice his skin." And this person has always been very thick-skinned, and he can even do things to abandon his wife and daughter, I see, this is his style. ”

"Regardless of whether he is greedy for fame or not, this matter alone is beneficial to our Jiangbei and harmless." Luo Yinxian, who didn't talk much, got up and said, and everyone's eyes looked at it at once.

Luo Yinxian is very old, at the beginning he was the quartermaster of the 24th Mixed Association, and now he is the chief of the logistics department of the Jiangbei New Army, which can be said to be a high authority, he usually doesn't want to say anything, but this time he suddenly spoke, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Chief Luo, please be more detailed." Wang Yongan leaned out and asked, although this Luo Yinxian is only the chief of logistics, but his vision is very long-term, Wang Yongan still remembers that he supported his actions at the beginning, and at every critical moment, Luo Yinxian will choose the most correct team, which is enough to see that this person's sensitivity to politics is extraordinary.

Seeing Wang Yongan's trust in him, Luo Yinxian's confidence was greatly boosted, to be honest, Luo Yinxian's qualifications are much deeper than many people here, and now he is the logistics chief of the nine brigades of the Jiangbei New Army of more than 200,000 troops, and there is also a baggage army of tens of thousands of troops that only belongs to the logistics headquarters, which can be said to be infinitely beautiful. But Luo Yinxian not only wants to be a heavy official, he is very eager to command the army to fight, and hopes to go further, become the deputy marshal of the Jiangbei New Army, and taste the feeling of scolding Fang Xuan and pointing the country.

Luo Yinxian stood up and said eloquently: "Now that the whole country is in turmoil, except for the Anqing turmoil in my Jiangbei region for less than a month, it can be said that the wind and waves are calm. And under the governance of Wang Yongtai, the patrol envoy, and Wang Yongan, the army guard, the corrupt officials and corrupt officials in our Jiangbei region were punished, the bandits were eliminated, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and businessmen gathered here. Jiangbei, which is so wealthy, will naturally be hated by all parties, especially the Beiyang system. Ladies and gentlemen, you must know that the tree is a big wind, and our Jiangbei area is now that big tree. Sun Yat-sen became the president of the Republic of China, and he must have been angry with Yuan Shikai, so Yuan Shikai will inevitably take measures against the south. ”

"What President Luo said makes sense."

"That's right, this Sun Yat-sen is so impatient, but there are some like shields."

"It's ridiculous that Sun Yat-sen is smart and confused for a while."

"Sun Yat-sen has been smart and suitable, he has always been stupid, right? But because he was too stupid, he set off the Manchu court, so this is called a fool with a fool's fortune. ”

"That's right, if it weren't for his stupidity, China would still be a stagnant pool."

Everyone talked about it, Wang Yongan looked at Wang Yongtai, Wang Yongtai nodded, and seemed to agree with Luo Yinxian's statement, so Wang Yongan got up, pressed down with both hands, and everyone stopped discussing and looked over.

Wang Yongan said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I basically agree with what General Luo said, Sun Yat-sen's move is beneficial to us, but we must also beware of a point, after the revolutionary army is hot-headed, some people instigate an immediate northern expedition. Everyone nodded in unison, the revolutionary army is indeed capable of such a thing.

"Therefore, we must prepare for war, reserve food and ammunition, and at the same time speed up the construction of railways, so as to speed up the mobilization of our army and reduce the consumption and loss of baggage logistics and transportation." Wang Yongan said.

Chief of the General Staff Feng Heng added: "I will also say that the revolutionary army has a navy, they can cross the river in various places, our army is in a defensive position, and not having a fleet is very disadvantageous to us." ”

"Is there anything the staff can do?" Wang Yongan asked.

Feng Heng said: "There is one way, that is, to attack instead of defending, if they attack Jiangbei, we will surround Wei to rescue Zhao and seize Shanghi, interrupt the economic nest of the revolutionary party, and let them fall into the embarrassing situation of no pay and no food, so as to lift the attack on Jiangbei." In addition, we also need to guard against the Beiyang Army going south, and attack our Jiangbei Army under the pretense of destroying it. ”

Wang Yongan and everyone nodded in agreement with the proposal of Feng Heng, the chief of staff, after all, the revolutionaries were hot-blooded and impulsive, in case they were stunned by the victory, the army would go on a northern expedition, and the first unlucky one would be Jiangbei. Fortunately, Wang Yongan had been prepared for a long time, and the ammunition and weapons stockpiled in advance, Jianghuai has always been the land of fish and rice, and the grain reserves are relatively sufficient, so there is no need to worry too much, which is enough to deal with the Northern Expedition of the revolutionary party.

"According to the investigation of our intelligence department, the troops of the Beiyang Army are concentrated in three directions, Jinan, Shandong, Nanyuan, Beijing, and Wuhan, Hubei." Adjutant Li Yao was in charge of intelligence, and said at this time: "Now that Yuan Shikai is preparing to attack the Shaanxi and Shanxi Revolutionary Army, if the north is pacified, we will be in danger, and he should not go south before Yuan Shikai's rear is stabilized." In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao also pacified Yuan Shao in the north before the 800,000 army went south to unify China, and Yuan Shikai will definitely follow Cao Cao's example and stabilize the rear foundation first. Otherwise, he mobilized a large army to go south, and Yan Xishan in Shanxi and Zhang Fenghui and Jing Bemu in Shaanxi marched east to take the Beijing division, wouldn't he Yuan Shikai be taken to the nest? ”

Everyone laughed, this Yuan Shikai is really a little anxious, although the strength of the revolutionary party in Shanxi and Shaanxi is not strong, but the terrain in Shanxi and Shaanxi is complex, especially the terrain is dangerous, and the strong strength of the Japanese army in later generations has not defeated Shanxi and Shaanxi, let alone the Beiyang Army that is fighting everywhere at this time. Most of the revolutionary parties in Shanxi and Shanxi were mud-legged, and they did not care about their image when they fought in the mud-legged war, and they all hid in the mountains to fight guerrilla warfare with the Beiyang Army, which dragged the Beiyang Army helplessly, and Yuan Shikai was unable to pacify the revolutionary parties in Shanxi and Shaanxi for a while, so he turned his attention to other places.

"Okay, at this end of the meeting, we have preliminarily drawn up a defensive operation plan, the general direction is to guard against the northern expedition of the southern revolutionaries, and at the same time prepare four brigades to attack Shanghi at any time to deter the southern provisional government. In addition, Vice Minister Chen, Xu Yang, and Peng Yunzhe, the three of you, formed a negotiation delegation, and immediately set off for Nanjing to seek peace with Nanjing, and it is best for us and us to live in peace. Wang Yongan calmed down and said.
