Liu Tong was stunned for a moment and thought about it carefully. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Feng Heng? As chief of staff, this person has never personally commanded the army, does not have any henchmen, and will not have the surname Feng.

Fang Xianwu? This person has enough qualifications and is famous all over the world, but it is precisely because of his fame - Wang Yongan's left and right two marshals, showing that he betrayed Wang Yongan, I am afraid that his reputation will stink from now on, and the same is the right handsome Li Shirui, these two people not only cannot betray Wang Yongan, but must support Wang Yongan.

Thinking of this, Liu Tong laughed and said, "It's still the commander, you are far-sighted, I'm in a hurry." ”

Wang Yongan patted him on the shoulder and said: "This army, others can't take it away, I go to Beijing, but I must go, the unification of the country has been delayed for half a year because of me, and I want to recover this half a year." Liu Tong was puzzled and puzzled, what is the unification that Wang Yongan delayed for half a year?

The determination to support Wang Yong'an's decision to go to Beijing was in the interests of the group on the one hand, and on the other hand, he would die because he felt guilty, and it was really because of him that he delayed the reunification of the whole country, which created an opportunity for Japan to get involved in China. He had to promote the reunification of the country before Japan could mobilize a large army to retaliate against China.

After Wang Yongan made the decision to go to Beijing, he immediately notified Li Yao, Xiao Xiangshan, Feng Heng, Fang Xianwu, Li Shirui and other generals, and everyone expressed their disagreement, fearing that something would happen to Wang Yongan. However, Wang Yongan shook his head and said that it would be extremely safe for him to go to Beijing this time, because once something happened to him, the Jiangbei Army and the Beiyang Army would become mortal enemies, and Yuan Shikai would not be stupid enough to set up such a strong enemy for himself.

This is the truth, but there are many dangers in going deep into the tiger's den, how can everyone rest assured, Wang Yongan then smiled bitterly: "I don't go to Jingshi, who can afford this casualty pension?" The Jiangbei Army has no money, how can the fallen and wounded soldiers be appeased? We don't even have money to bury our own soldiers, we don't have money to give them families, how can we be worthy of the soldiers throwing their heads and spilling their blood? ”

After a while, everyone replied speechlessly, the soldiers only care about the battlefield, of course they don't care about how the money comes from - but the money will not appear for no reason, this money can only be raised by Wang Yongan. Now Wang Yongan's only way is to ask for this money from the imperial court, from the central government, and from Yuan Shikai.

The generals could not persuade him, so he told Huo Diange that he must protect Wang Yongan well, and allowed Huo Diange to transfer a regiment of elite soldiers from the army to go north with Wang Yongan. Wang Yongan said that there was no need for a regiment, and that this regiment had entered the Beijing Division, wouldn't it frighten others, and he thought that he only needed one battalion to take the Beijing Division directly. The military system of the Jiangbei Army is different from that of other places, with a regular regiment of as little as two or three thousand and as many as four or five thousand, and a regular battalion with nine hundred men. Therefore, Wang Yongan did not dare to bring four or five thousand people into Beijing, which had to frighten Yuan Shikai.

Huo Diange was entrusted with important tasks by everyone, and began to select members of the army to go to Beijing, and a total of 933 people were selected to form Wang Yongan's new guard battalion. The army learned that Wang Yongan went deep into the tiger's den to ask Yuan Shikai for money to distribute pensions to his wounded and wounded comrades, and that there was a crisis and thousands of miles away, so they enthusiastically signed up, and they were eager to go to Beijing to fight with Yuan Shikai.

Soon, nine hundred and thirty-three people were selected, all of whom were heroes from all walks of life who had experienced the battle of Jiangdu, and even Meng Qingfu, the king of Jiangbei soldiers, was selected to serve as the sergeant major of the guard battalion, responsible for making decisions on the spot. Meng Qingfu said to Wang Yongan: "Dashuai, if there is anything wrong, I don't need to inform you, I will take you away directly." ”

Wang Yongan asked rhetorically: "Do you need to be so cautious?" ”

Meng Qingfu said: "Yes, the heart of guarding against people is indispensable." ”

"Well, it's all up to you." Wang Yongan said with a smile.

At the same time as the formation of the guard battalion with super combat effectiveness, Wang Yongan also began to arrange all the affairs of Jiangbei, such as Zhang Jian, governor of Jiangbei, Chen Zhaotang, chief of civil affairs, Wei Wenkang, secretary general of the governor, and Feng Heng, chief of staff of the Jiangbei Army.

Naturally, the family members were not satisfied with the first amount of pension, which was only five taels of silver, but this was all pulled out by the Jiangbei government from between the teeth, and Wang Yongan had no choice. What made Wang Yongan laugh even more was that in order to get more pensions, various localities actually reported some more lists of fallen volunteers, and after Wei Daofeng's inspection, the list of fallen soldiers increased by more than 3,000 people. Wei Daofeng was very annoyed by this and asked Wang Yongan to execute those local officials and their families who were greedy for small gains, but Wang Yongan did not want to kill again.

It is true that there are some places that are greedy for small gains, but more often than not, they have lost contact with their relatives because of the war, resulting in false positives of fallen volunteers, which only need to be corrected. Since they are all family members of the soldiers, there is no need to punish them so harshly after they take advantage of them, causing instability in the morale of the army.

After dealing with everything, Li Yao told Wang Yongan that Xia Ming's ashes and relics had been collected and he didn't know when they would be sent to San Lucas. Wang Yongan sighed and said, "Put the ashes and things of Xia Ming and the volunteers of St. Lucas in my house first, and I will send someone to St. Lucas." ”

"Yes." Li Yao said.

Wang Yongan patted Li Yao on the shoulder and said, "This time to go to Jingshi, if something happens to me, the Jiangbei Army will be inherited by you." ”

Li Yao was shocked and said, "What are you talking about, Jingyun, how can you say that." ”

Wang Yongan said: "The road ahead is long, I don't know where it is, I can't rule out whether I will be in danger, if something happens to me, the Jiangbei Army will be led by you." ”

Li Yao shook his head and said: "I am a person from a big teapot in Jinmen, I have never gone to school, I have not studied in a military school, and I am not capable of leading the Jiangbei Army." Jingyun, if something happens to you, this Jiangbei Army is no one else's, I will bring the second young master back from St. Lucas, and he will be Young Master Wang Cunyi's in the future. ”

Wang Yongan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Forget it, let him be an ordinary person, whether Xiao Tian is a gentleman in St. Lucas, or a hot-blooded young man, he has not experienced the suffering of you and me, and he can't afford this responsibility." Jiangbei has grown from scratch, from childhood to strength, you have always been by my side, only you can inherit. I have already written a note to the generals, if I have something, you will inherit it, if you have something, Fang Xianwu will inherit it, and the Jiangbei banner cannot fall. ”

Li Yao nodded and said, "Jiangbei flag, it can't fall." I remember, but you can't have an accident, promise me, Jingyun, you must not have an accident. No matter what you encounter in Jingshi, you have to come back. ”

Wang Yongan laughed and stretched out his thumb.
