"Gerdios knot?"

After Li Tingyu heard this, there seemed to be some signs in his head, but he vaguely seemed to have never heard of it, so he couldn't help frowning and said, "Please show me!" ”

Chang Zhenbang glanced around at everyone and said, "Brothers, have any of you heard the story of the Gerdios knot?" ”

Those generals, you look at me, I look at you, all of them have a look of staring at each other, and after a while, Chang Zhenbang's adjutant Liu Tao finally stood up and said: "If you go back to your lordship, you seem to have heard of it." ”

Chang Zhenbang glanced at him and said, "You are a student of the Guangzhou Military Academy, I believe that the teachers of the military academy should tell you this story, and you don't let your brothers tell it." ”

"Obey the instructions of your lordship, and then you will be ugly." Liu Tao said excitedly: "Gerdios, the prince of the Macedonian king, Alexander, led an army to invade the Persian territory of the Arabian Peninsula in 333 BC, and occupied the once glorious capital of the ancient Lundina kingdom. In the center of the streets of the capital there is a temple dedicated to Zeus, the god of the sky, and in the temple there is an ancient chariot. On this chariot was the famous 'Geldios Knot', which, according to legend, was the ruler of Asia. Alexander visited the temple, and when he could not untie the knots after much effort, he drew his sword and said, 'In the manner of my Alexander the Great!' Then he swung his sword and cut the knot in two. Alexander believed that fate should be in the hands of one's own hands, and that the constant trials should be solved in his own way. For him now, his sword is the key to open the door to the world, and he wants everyone to know that his empire was conquered by the sword in his hand. ”

All the generals nodded and said yes, there seem to be many similar stories in China, Yue Fei's, Lin Zexu's, anyway, it's a small story followed by a big truth, at this time, everyone just nods and hums, anyway, it's just a matter of a while, if you win the battle, it is reasonable, if you can't win the battle, it is useless to be a big truth.

Chang Zhenbang nodded and said: "Adjutant Liu, I can't imagine that you still remember this story, it seems that you didn't go to this military school in vain, do you know why this official told this story?" ”

Liu Tao thought for a while and said tentatively: "My lord, I want to use the sword in my hand to solve the problem in front of me. ”

Chang Zhenbang's face sank and said: "Ambiguous answer, is this your way of doing things?" ”

Liu Tao was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "My lord, forgive me, I don't know what the problem is that my lord wants to solve. ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "If the Ding is cracked today, Zhang Zuolin dominates the northeast, Cao Kun is entrenched in Zhili, Sun Chuanfang roars in the southwest, Tang Jiyao dominates the southwest, these people are disturbing, you really sing it, I will take the stage!" The war is chaotic, and it is only the common people who suffer! Now that the Quartet is weak and the southeast is strong, if the troops are collected and returned, the world will be peaceful in three or five years, but what about in three or five years? Straight, Feng, Yunnan, pickaxe also raised enough spirit, at that time the world must be a fight, at that time it was the southeast of the world's martial arts forces, want to suppress the Quartet is afraid that it is also not caught, can only lead to the country to further divide the melee down, in the long run will become China can not untie the Knot of Gerdios, it is better to take this opportunity to sweep away the direct Feng line, a domination of the mountains and rivers, maybe some people will say that I Chang Zhenbang is reckless, lust for profit, but Zhenbang is not willing to sweep away the heroes and return the world to a peace! Therefore, Zhenbang decided to make peace with the southwest and go north to Feng, which is the sword in Zhenbang's hand to open the knot of Gerdios. ”

Everyone was stunned, and then burst into deafening applause and applause, even Li Tingyu, who had always been opposed, couldn't help but lower his head and think about this question, it was obvious that Chang Zhenbang's words just now greatly touched a certain feeling in his heart, to unify the mountains and rivers, and to revitalize the family and state, it can be said that after the first afternoon, the dreams and ambitions of every aspiring Chinese man, Chang Zhenbang wants to do so, as a person who has been young, how can he not support Chang Zhenbang's idea? It's just that as he gets older, his heart seems to be getting softer and softer, and he can't see casualties more and more, and he always wants to stop the war, but he also knows that if the warlords in the world don't stop for a day, the Chinese war will not end for a day, and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu is not yesterday but not long after, but when I think of the Northern Expedition if it really happens, it will inevitably cause hundreds of thousands of casualties among the soldiers, how many families and families are hopeful, I feel frightened when I think about it, there is a way to be kind and not to take charge of the army, It seems that many years of administrative career have further dissipated his military temperament, and it is a kind of sadness to think about it, when he realized this, he stepped forward again and said to Chang Zhenbang: "My lord, the Northern Expedition is a good thing, Tingyu fully supports it, but Tingyu is no longer in line with the vigor of his youth as he is getting older, please relieve yourself of the position of Jiangxi overseer, please ask your Excellency to ask for another master." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, who didn't know the weight of Li Tingyu among these overseers in the southeast, his resignation should not be a change of direction to put pressure on Chang Zhenbang! You must know that the position of overseer is in charge of the military and political power of a province, except for Chang Zhenbang, no one can control it, it can be described as a small emperor of a province, and it is a position that many people can not hope for. The world is crowded, all for profit. Only those unlucky children who are desperate and desperate will think of resigning and retiring, how can anyone quit willingly? There is no such reason. Thinking of this, the generals once again turned their eyes on Chang Zhenbang, but to see how he dealt with Li Tingyu's forced palace in front of him.

I saw Chang Zhenbang smile and said: "Brother Li doesn't want to do the business of this Laoshizi's Jiangxi overseer, and the younger brother has never heard of it, since the eldest brother has proposed it, how can the younger brother not be allowed?" It's just that Jiangxi Province is the foundation of my southeast, and if it is not a person, it will cause trouble, and there is really no suitable candidate here, so the elder brother may wish to grieve some of the governors of Jiangxi, as for the first division in the southeast led by Brother Li, and on this basis, together with the Wu Hongchang Division in southern Jiangxi and the Jiujiang Hu Zhong Division, they are called the First Group Army in the Southeast, and the commander-in-chief of the group army is also concurrently served by the elder brother! ”

"My lord, this ......" Li Tingyu was taken aback, he didn't expect that although the hat of the Jiangxi overseer was taken off, he was exchanged for the position of the governor of Jiangxi and the military power of the first army in the southeast, which was greater than the power of the Jiangxi overseer, which made him how good, just about to resign, but Chang Zhenbang rushed to say: "Brother Li, you are the old man of our southeast, before the new generation of southeast talents grow up, the burden on your body is not light." Little brother can't let you leave the stall so early so that you can go home to recuperate. ”

Chang Zhenbang said that at this point, what else can Li Tingyu say? I had to sigh and accept it.

When the generals saw him promoted and made a fortune, they couldn't help but blush, and there were many people who scolded him for being pretentious, but they were busy saying goodbye one by one.

Chang Zhenbang took the opportunity to throw a look at Ye Ji, Ye Ji coughed hurriedly, stood up and said loudly: "Gansu-Yunnan peace talks, the southeast is mighty, in order to further meet the needs of our southeast development, Zhang Jingyao is now appointed as the Hunan overseer, stationed in Changsha." Hua Zhongtian was the overseer of Guangxi and the patrol envoy of Guixiang, controlling all the armies in Guangxi and Hunan. The Jiangxi overseers will be abolished from now on, and all military orders will be in charge of the commander of the First Army, and the government orders will be in charge of the provincial governor, and the above will take effect from now on! The year of the Republic of China! ”

The generals listened to a burst of cheers, although the war ended in an unpleasant way, but the opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune immediately came, Chang Zhenbang did not treat everyone badly in this regard, and everyone was hot in their hearts.

After Ye Ji saw that everyone's emotions came up, he said loudly again: "In order to save Li Min, Kuang Fu design, and the southeastern and northern expeditions, it is incumbent on me to appoint Li Tingyu as the director of the Preparatory Department of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and to command the First Army in the southeast to immediately open Yueyang, and take full responsibility for the logistics of the Northern Expedition. At the same time, the Guangdong corps under the command of Hua Zhongtian was organized into the Fourth Group Army in the southeast, with He Zonglian as the commander-in-chief, He Fenglin, He Fengyu, and Lu Yongxiang as the deputy commander-in-chief. The Anhui Anwu Army was really reorganized into the Fifth Group Army in the southeast, and the position of commander-in-chief was still in the hands of Ni Sichong, and at the same time, the divisions of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces were merged into the sixth and seventh armies in the southeast, and Li Chun and Chen Guangyuan were appointed as commanders-in-chief! ”

All the generals cheered, there was no real shortage of town guards and overseers before, and it was the end of becoming the division commander, but now there is another group army setting, wouldn't it further expand their room for growth, how can they not be happy?

When the news spread to the overseers, town guards, and division commanders, they were all happy, and they sent telegrams to Chang Zhenbang and Guangzhou to express their approval. Those troops who received the transfer also quickly arrived at the predetermined place with the help of the navy and others, for Chang Zhenbang and the southwest dog eat dog, Sun Chuanfang, Zhang Zuolin, Wu Peifu and others were not idle, but also increased their respective army construction, and even in order to prevent the threat of Chang Zhenbang, Sun, Zhang, Wu three factions quietly united in private, regardless of Chang Zhenbang's victory or defeat, the current scene of a dominant family in the southeast has made everyone have a deep sense of crisis, and a conspiracy against the southeast has also begun. It's a pity that what they did did not escape Chang Zhenbang's spies, especially Dai Yunong was re-sent by Chang Zhenbang to the eyes of the National Security Bureau, a new department set up in North China.
