1908 Far Eastern Maniac Chapter 226 Assistance

Most of them are military laymen. The commander-in-chief has a "B division" and a "dúlì division". It's a little dizzying for everyone. But the meaning is clear. If you follow the algorithm of the commander-in-chief. The three joint defense counties in Jiading and the Xuyong Prefecture in Ningyuan, Xuzhou, and other prefectures need to raise 20,000 yuan of military expenses every month to support the troops of these local snakes. Take into account the business situation in these places. On the whole, this military expenditure is not very high. But if you only look at the three joint defense counties in Jiading. The burden of military spending is a bit unpleasant.

"Commander-in-Chief. Weiyuan salt for many years. People are tired. A security corps that relies on the financial resources of a county alone to support 1,000 people. It seems to be a bit of a struggle. Can the commander-in-chief get some more military spending from the provincial treasury? A businessman who had come from Weiyuan to attend the Salt Politics Aftermath Conference said stubbornly.

"Is a battalion of 1,000 men too man? The tolerances in those yamen are enough to raise hundreds of soldiers every year. Nan, the head of Weiyuan Security, heard this. I was in a hurry. He slapped the table and stood up.

"Head Yang Shao'an is not impatient, and Weiyuan's business is not as good as Fushun. This is indeed true. Moreover, military salaries are only one of the purposes of the security corps' funding. The construction of this barracks and the supply of ordnance. Nothing is possible without silver. So, ah. Your 1,000-strong security corps doesn't need more than 2,000 a month to spend on military expenses. ”

Zhao Bei waved his hand. Sheyang Shaonan sat back. He glanced at the merchant again. Zan nodded. said: "This gentleman can think about the local people. It's really hard. It's quite fitting for you to be a representative of the people's will. ”

The merchant was frightened by Yang Nan and trembled. But these words of the commander-in-chief immediately emboldened him. "Representatives of the people's will" are members of parliament and self-government, and they are specially protected by law. There is judicial immunity. Even Yang Shaonan can't just arrest him.

Come to think of it. The merchant was anxious to know if the Commander-in-Chief's next sentence would be to recommend him to be a councillor. But what disappointed him was. The commander-in-chief did not continue this topic. Instead, it turned back to the topic of military spending.

"Since the salt tax is collected uniformly by the province. This entry will not fall directly to the counties in southern Sichuan. With this in mind, the province zhèngfǔ to consider the three counties security regiment co-ordination. However, this subsidy can only be adjusted from the tax. In order to facilitate the management of salt administration. All the prefectures at the junction of the two prefectures of Dingxu Prefecture that are rich in well salt will be separated from the prefectures. Merge into one piece. Establish a "municipality". The city name army zhèngfǔ is also good. Pick out a word in each of the artesian wells and tribute wells. Together, it is called "Zigong City". This city differs from it local zhèngfǔ. All military and political affairs in this city are under the direct supervision of the provincial zhèngfǔ"

"Municipalities?"

Everyone was amazed. The commander-in-chief changed the administrative division of the south in a few words. It seems a bit flippant. The gang is still fine. At most, they were surprised for a moment, but Zhou Daogang and Li Tong were quite inappropriate.

Dao Gang said: "It's nothing to abolish the city. It's just that the establishment of this municipality is somewhat abrupt. I wonder if the center will agree? ”

"You don't have to worry about that. I will explain this to the President. At present, the diplomatic relations between China and China regarding the "state tragedy" have not yet ended. The Chuanhan Road shortfall case has just been unveiled. Now the president may not have time to pay attention to these local government affairs. At present, the commander is the "Salt Administration Supervisor of the Six Southwest Provinces" appointed by President Yuan Da, and the management of matters related to salt is justified. Sichuan's salt administration is related to the people of Sichuan, and it will not work if the salt administration of Sichuan is not rectified. If you want to put things in order. It is necessary to unify the decrees. ”

At this point, Zhao Bei glanced at everyone present, and Shi Kai could do it even if he didn't agree? The mountain is high and the emperor is far away. Now Zhao Bei is the king of Sichuan, and Yuan Shikai is beyond the reach of the whip. At most, a proclamation was issued to stop it, but was it stopped? Do you dare to stop it? After the contest of "Qizhou Incident" and "Chuanhan Road Deficit Case". Yuan Shikai had already learned the methods of the commander-in-chief. Play chess with the Commander-in-Chief. It's not that easy.

In the past, Zhao Bei had planned to take the lead. Avoid stimulating Yuan Shikai too early. But after the turmoil of the "Western Sichuan Governor's Office". He doesn't change his strategy. Show yourself what you do and what you need. Let Yuan Shikai retreat. As for whether it will cause Yuan Shikai to change his strategic direction because of this, he can't care so much. Unexpectedly. The phrase "inch into the foot" is of great practical significance. The Republican Army of the Beiyang Group cannot be bullied.

Seeing that Zhou Daogang and Li Tong looked like they were talking and stopping, Zhao Bei said: "Now the republic is just beginning. There is a shortage of officials in various places. I couldn't find a suitable candidate for mayor for a while. If it is established in Zigong City. I'm afraid that this mayoral candidate must be Chairman Lee. ”

"Ahh How dare you. How dare you! How can a contemptible person have no virtue and take on such a heavy responsibility? Ask the Commander-in-Chief to take back his life. Li Tong stood up in fear and panic. Humility and humility. "You don't deserve to be the mayor. Who is qualified to do so? Now the republic zhèngfǔ is promoting local autonomy. Only when the Sichuan people govern the Sichuan can they create the people of Sichuan. President Li has served as the president of the Chamber of Commerce for many years. On empirical qualifications. Who is qualified to compete with you? Besides. The rectification of Sichuan's salt administration is of great importance. Those who are not familiar with this industry should take responsibility. Although Chairman Lee is not a big salt merchant, he also runs several fire wells. The city of the future will be the salt industry center of Sichuan. It's perfect for you to be mayor. ”

Zhao Bei half-truthfully wooed him. He's now

County and township autonomy. However, there is still hesitation about the method of appointing city-level officials, whether to appoint them from higher levels or to be elected by local citizens. It hasn't been decided yet. Although each has its own benefits. But Zhao Bei was actually inclined to be appointed by his superiors. To be exact. It was appointed by him.

was poured into the commander-in-chief's ** soup. Li Tong was a little fluttering, and he was stunned for a long time. Not a word. Until Zhou Daogang congratulated him. He came to his senses. Another humbleness.

Studying in the military? ”

Zhao Bei turned his gaze to Zhou Daogang. This person's intention to vote for the commander is still relatively clear. This point is worth the attention.

Zhou Daogang hurriedly stood up. Nodding his head, he said, "Below is a graduate of the Infantry Section of the Army Non-commissioned Officer School." He is a classmate with Jiang Baili, deputy chief of staff of your army. and Xu Chongzhi, commander-in-chief of the Fujian army, is also a classmate. As for the army elementary school. After only a few days of teaching, Zhao Erxun disbanded the new army. Army Elementary School was also disbanded"

Zhao Bei nodded. Said: "Now Chengdu has recovered. Some of the students who had previously attended elementary school were recalled and another military school was formed. There is a shortage of instructors. If Mr. Zhou is interested. You might as well become a principal to train qualified officers for the Republic of China. ”

Zhou Daogang was stunned and said with some embarrassment: "I can't hide it." A certain teaching is a bit overcharged. Or is it more suitable to lead troops. I just can't be the head of the regiment. It's also good to be a regimental vice-president. ”

Zhao Bei said with a smile: "Be the head of the regiment? Then condescend. Let's make an agreement for two years. Two years later. As long as you train two thousand qualified junior officers for the Republican Army. I'll transfer you to the troops, don't say it's the regiment commander. Even if it's long, it doesn't necessarily mean that it can't be done. What do you think. Consideration. ”

The Sichuan Army Primary School was established last year. Said it was elementary school. The actual enrollment of students is young people between the ages of 15 and 18. The main purpose of Zhao Erxun's school is to train young officers at the grassroots level for the Sichuan New Army. Unexpectedly, the "Wushen Revolution" broke out, and the Sichuan New Army was disbanded. This Sichuan Army Primary School naturally lost its usefulness. It was also disbanded. After the republican army recovered Chengdu, it decided to take over. It's just that there is not enough teachers. No, don't go around scouring instructors. In addition to Army Elementary School. There are also Sichuan Eye Corps and Army Crash School. It was held earlier than the Army Elementary School, and it was also accepted by the Republican Army. It was merged with Sichuan Army Primary School to form Chengdu Army Military School. The school site is at the foot of Phoenix Mountain in Chengdu. As for whether it will merge with the Hubei Military Academy in the future. It will depend on the development of the situation.

Shi Zhou Daogang is not a suitable candidate for principal, Chen Eun and Xu Xiaogang have both served as superintendents and general offices in these military academies. It's just that Chen Eun has already followed Xiliang to Yunnan. Now he went to the north and took refuge with Yuan Shikai, while Xu Xiaogang was wounded by a cannonball in the Battle of Chengdu. Temporarily unable to hold public office. So for the sake of it. The only candidates who are most qualified to serve as the Phoenix Mountain Military Academy are Zhou Daogang and Zhong Ying. But Zhong Yingqi people. The chief general of the Southern Sichuan Army. This man surrendered though. But as a flag man. He was difficult for the cadets to accept. Nor can it be possible to take the trust of the commander-in-chief. And so it goes. Zhou Daogang picked up the bargain. In fact, this person may not have much talent. The key is to use his prestige and seniority to win hearts and minds. Those who planned to go to Yuan Shikai stayed behind.

One more hand at the commander-in-chief's side. Yuan Shikai has one less helper. This arithmetic is simple.

"This is a wish for the Commander-in-Chief to serve the dogs and horses." Zhou Daogang hesitated for a moment but accepted the suggestion.

"Good. It's not an exaggeration to be a major general with your qualifications. To know. Now the division commander of the Republican Army is only a brigadier general. In the whole army. There are only a few with the rank of major general. Major General Zhou. I'll give it to you in two days, and then you'll take office. Originally, I was going to be the principal of the military school myself. But I was a little too busy to get in. So this headmaster can only be entrusted to you. I was only an honorary principal at the Military Academy in Wuhan. In the future, it will also be handed over to Jiang Baili. I'm just an honorary principal. ”

Zhao Bei sighed in his heart. A person's strength is limited. It's true that you can't do too many things at the same time. Besides, he only understands some strategies and tactics, and he knows only a little about them. And often have to "drive pro-recruitment". Being the principal of a military school is purely to occupy the pit and not. It is easy to make subordinates depressed. So. Rather than dominate the position. It's better to let Xian. One can stabilize the mood of his subordinates. Second, you can squeeze out more time for more urgent things. As for the military academy. Just take a walk around often. There is no need to stay in a military school every day to win hearts and minds. Let alone. Anyway, he still has the title of "Honorary Principal". Cadets who have graduated from military academies are still "protégés of commanders-in-chief".

When the commander-in-chief wooed Zhou Daogang. Yang Shaonan, Prince Xiang, Zhou Hongxun and others are also carefully pondering the division of the territory in southern Sichuan. In their opinion. The current programme cannot be described as very satisfactory. But at least the interests of all parties are taken into account. It's a compromise. Especially the "co-payment" thing. Tian Zhenbang is self-supporting in three governments and one hall. Maybe you don't care about it. But Yang Shaonan, Prince Zhou Xun and the three were very grateful. Because this indicates. In the mind of the commander-in-chief. They took the same land as Tian Zhenbang.

So. The general secretary - the tree must be held tightly.
