Chapter 173: Active Expansion

Turning another page, Yang Shuai rubbed his eyes, and sighed in his heart, it was too powerful. Yang Tai and Bai Zhuge both walked in, Yang Shuai saw it, smiled, closed the book, and the cover revealed a few big words "Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway Engineering Chronicle", the author Zhan Tianyou.

"Hehe, you're here, sit." Yang Shuai was polite, smiling and beckoning the two to sit down. But he saw that Yang Tai's face was dark, and he glared at Bai Zhuge like an enemy. In the past month, Yang Shuai just took out one million as a "donation", today Yang Shuai is looking for himself, and when he entered the door, he saw Bai Zhuge just come in. Yang Tai was unhappy in his heart, in Yang Tai's heart, Bai Zhuge was a vampire, and he was looking for money for himself. This time, I can't help Yang Shuai to be confused again, and I want to put money out.

Bai Zhuge looked at Yang Tai's expression, smiled, and didn't care. In Bai Zhuge view, Yang Tai will always be a small farmer, and he can't see as far as Yang Shuai.

Yang Tai: "Young Master, didn't you say it a month ago, you have already donated one million to the military department, there is no follow-up, young master, you-"

Yang Shuai was also stunned, calling Yang Tailai today, it was really not for this.

"I called you here today, not for this matter, but for something else." Then Yang Shuai turned around and rummaged on the table for a while, and took out a newspaper. A few pages were opened from the newspaper, then folded on one side and placed in front of the two of them.

Bai Zhuge and Yang Tai were both curious, and they stretched out their heads to take a look, only to see the above report "Zhan Tianyou encourages the people to buy Hanyue Railway Road Construction Bonds". The two watched for more than ten minutes before they raised their heads and looked at Yang Shuai more curiously.

The newspaper said very clearly, to put it simply, the railway from Wuhan to Guangzhou (via Hunan) has basically reached the final stage, but the money is not enough, so the head office will issue bonds, hoping that everyone will enthusiastically buy it, support the country's independent railway, and don't let this railway end up without a problem and be laughed at by foreigners.

But what does this have to do with you? Bai Zhuge and Yang Tai both looked at Yang Shuai, and Yang Shuai smiled: "I want to buy this bond." ”

Yang Tai and Bai Zhuge frowned, Yang Tai: "Young Master, why is this?" ”

Yang Shuai: "In my eyes, Zhan Tianyou is a national hero, and I want to support him." ”

Bai Zhuge 's eyes lit up, and Yang Shuai was planning the future Guangxi Railway.

Zhan Tianyou is the first person in China's railways, and has an irreplaceable position in the trade union and the people. Back then, Sun Wen said that he would build a 100,000-mile railway, but he just talked about it. Zhan Tianyou is different, he rarely says it, but since the Qing Dynasty, he has been doing it silently.

Yang Shuai: "Building railways is a major national affair, and everyone is responsible, especially now that foreigners look down on us, I should support each other." I would like to buy a million road bonds in my own name. ”

Yang Tai didn't think as quickly as Bai Zhuge thought, and said: "Young master, if you talk about investment, this bond is not the most ideal, now Chen Guofu's securities company is making money faster than this, why should young master buy this." ”

Buying bonds, not donations, Yang Tai is not so opposed, but with an investment attitude, to discuss with Yang Shuai. This attitude is different from Bai Zhuge asking for money, which is one hundred and eighty.

Yang Tai is like this, as long as he doesn't give money for nothing, everything is easy to say. And if it is given money and spent on Yang Shuai, Yang Tai will not frown. Just like a few months ago, Yang Shuai spent a lot of money to renovate his home. Yang Tai also took the initiative to help, saying that in Yang Tai's words, the money was originally the young master's, and Yang Tai's clear attitude of distinguishing between public and private made people helpless.

Yang Shuai: "Zhuge doesn't speak, Zhuge you tell me, why should I buy this bond." ”

Yang Taiyi turned his head: "Yes, this is your private matter, young master, what did you call him to do?" At this time, a person walked in, Yang Tai looked at it, and pointed to the person: "By the way, call him here, it's almost the same." Then he looked at Bai Zhuge strangely.

Yang Shuai looked at it and smiled: "Ma Yang, you are here, sit, you listen for a while, and you will know what we are talking about." ”

Ma Yang, the general manager of Triangle Bay Terminal and the future general manager, has been transferred from Shanghai half a year ago to take over the work of the terminal from Yang Tai.

Bai Zhuge : "If I think correctly, the purpose of the commander's move is twofold, one is to get acquainted with Mr. Zhan Tianyou. The second is to establish a reputation, now the Hanyue Railway issues bonds, we buy, and in the future, when we issue them, the people of Hunan, Guangdong, and Hubei provinces will also be grateful to us, so as to buy our bonds, which is paving the way. ”

When Yang Shuai heard this, he laughed, Bai Zhuge deserved to be Bai Zhuge and said it inseparably: "There is another reason, that is, what I said just now, everyone is responsible for state affairs." ”

At this time, Ma Yang had already learned about today's topic in the process of muttering with Yang Tai.

Yang Shuai pointed at Ma Yang: "Ma Yang, Zhan Tianyou is now the president of the Guangdong Chinese Engineers Association, and he is uniting with the Shanghai Institute of Engineering and the Shanghai Road Workers Mutual Masonic Association, and wants to unite to form the Chinese Engineers Association." I think that for such a big project as our Triangle Bay Wharf, although the technical personnel are mainly foreigners, we should also establish our own technical organization, and we can't rely on foreigners forever. ”

"So, I want you to set up a Nanning trade union on this basis, and then take the initiative to contact Zhan Tianyou and form this Chinese Engineers Association with them."

Yang Tai suddenly exclaimed at this time: "Young master, young master, there is one person who can help, and there is one person who can help." ”

Yang Shuai was stunned, why was Yang Tai so excited? Yang Tai: "Young master, do you remember that, that friend of Principal Ma Junwu, they used to appear together, and then went abroad to study, the person called, called, called Li Siguang, he will definitely be able to help, recently I overheard that this Li Siguang is going back to China." ”

When Yang Shuai heard this, he suddenly remembered the scene when he first met Ma Junwu in Nanjing and Shanghai.

"What? Is Zhong Kui coming back? That's great. ”

Li Siguang, a Chinese geology expert, is worried about this matter. Because although the scale of the arsenal has increased and there are people, the materials are insufficient. Not only the scheme, but also the mine, are all restrictions.

Yang Shuai was overjoyed: "This matter, leave it to Yang Tai and Ma Yang, you must invite Zhong Yu to come back, come to Nanning, if necessary, pull Brother Jun Wu up, remember, no matter what, you must ask this person to come, definitely." ”

After Yang Tai and Ma Yang left, Yang Shuai: "Zhuge , you stay for a while." After speaking, he rolled up the things on the table and pulled Bai Zhuge to the side of the topographic map, which was a model that Yang Shuai specially asked someone to pile out of dirt in his office.

Yang Shuai's eyes swept between the mountains and rivers, and said, "Zhuge , I want to take here." "Fingers along the Yongjiang River, to the Youjiang River, the Baise area.

Bai Zhuge was stunned for a moment, because he knew that Yang Shuai had vaguely intended to set his eyes on Yulin before, but he was facing west in the blink of an eye. Thinking of the topic they said just now, as well as Yang Shuai's excited expression.

Bai Zhuge was stunned for a moment, then understood, and said: "Commander, I'm afraid that I have taken a fancy to Guixi's resources." ”

Yang Shuai laughed: "Yes, don't look at the economy of Baise's generation is not very developed, but here, it is an extremely rich natural resource production area in Guangxi." Our development is now under the control of others, from Wuhan, five or six yuan of coal, to us, it becomes twenty yuan, four times, this is the cost of transportation. Therefore, we must have our own coal mines, not to be big, but to meet the current stage of development, and when we take Guangxi, we can directly connect to Guizhou. ”

Bai Zhuge said: "Taking the Baise region, and at the same time opening up this road in western Guangxi, is beneficial to our economic exchanges with Yunnan and Guizhou." Now that the army commander has decided, we might as well call the chief of staff and study it together. There is no power in the Baise region now, so it should not be difficult. ”

Military meetings, which went very fast. The next day, Yang Shuai convened cadres at and above the regimental level in Nanning for a military meeting. Chief of Staff Lin Hu, Army Commander Yang Shuai, Bai Zhuge of the Food and Salary Bureau, Brigade Commander Lu Guoquan, and Independent Regiment Commander Zhang Dabiao. Although Chen Siyuan became the director of the Politburo, he still attended the meeting as Yang Shuai's secretary general. It can be said that this is Yang Shuai's absolute cronies.

"Now all regiments are in the stage of integration with the old with the new, because the treatment of our Third Army is better than that of other places, and the recruitment was completed a month ago, but now although our troops have come up, what is the combat effectiveness, we have not fought in actual combat, and we dare not pack tickets."

"Now there are two brigades and one regiment of our Third Army, plus the strength of one regiment under the jurisdiction of the left and right town guards, a total of 15,000 people. In accordance with the latest instructions of the army commander, the eight regiments of the whole army have already begun to move north, and they will arrive in Nanning in a few days, with two regiments of the Eighth Brigade led by brigade commander Wang Jinsong, with their base camps in Qin County, one regiment in Qin County, one regiment in the Mansion, and one regiment in the Eighth Brigade and Zhang Lingpu's regiment. The three regiments of the Seventh Brigade, as well as the Independent Regiment, were all around Nanning. ”

Chief of Staff Lin Hu, first of all, gave a general account of the situation in the Third Army. Yang Shuai raised his head: "Well, we transferred a regiment from Qin County, what is the reaction from all sides?" ”

Lin Hu: "Basically, there is no reaction, now Yulin Lu Yungao is facing Chen Bingkun's revenge, and the Darong Mountain bandit gang has broken out in the jurisdiction, and he is too busy to take care of himself." There was no movement on the part of the guests, and it was estimated that we were just a normal change of troops. ”

Yang Shuai: "Don't be careless, people who are a little conscious will know that we are gathering troops in Nanning, and there will be actions." But this time we are going to take action against Youjiang, and we are not afraid of them knowing what happens to the north and east, but we must prevent them from taking advantage of our troops to invade Nanning. So I decided that this westward advance would only use the strength of two regiments, and the others would prevent all sides from prying eyes on Nanning. ”

Two regiments? Zhang Dabiao immediately stood up: "Army commander, the independent regiment requests to fight." ”

Lu Guoquan looked at it and grinned, Wang Jinsong, you kid has no share. Then he stood up: "Commander, two regiments go to battle, I think this must be two regiments with tight coordination, the current situation in Nanning, only my seventh brigade meets this condition, let my seventh brigade come." After speaking, he smiled and glanced at Zhang Dabiao provocatively.

Zhang Dabiao was immediately anxious, every time there was a war, they would inevitably fight.

Unexpectedly, Yang Shuai said very arbitrarily this time: "Don't quarrel, don't fight, I already have a candidate." This time I went to Youjiang and let Zhang Lingpu and Huang Xuchu's regiment go on the expedition, and the others stayed put. ”

"Ahh

Huang Xuchu and Zhang Lingpu had just been promoted to the head of the regiment, and the others immediately shouted. And Bai Zhuge looked down at the map, then looked at Yang Shuai, who was smiling, and also laughed, the army commander has a lot of appetite.
