Chapter 903: Zhao Erfeng's worries
Chang Geng, who took the telegram and looked at it, nodded, he also knew that he was better at this kind of sending telegrams than Wu Peifu, and Wu Peifu was much better at fighting, so he smiled. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Chang Gung put away the telegram, turned around and walked to the telegraph room next to him.
Baoji, since he got that Chengdu was about to unite with Britain, Liu Jun has always had a knot in his heart, and he hopes that the imperial court will not do such a thing that damages the loss of sovereignty.
Tibet is a barrier in the southwest region, since he was under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, successive emperors have attached great importance to the stability of Tibet, but now, the imperial court actually wants to do such a thing in order to be able to stop itself, which is a very unwise behavior.
"What, you're still thinking about the imperial court?" In the office, Zheng Yiqian poured tea for Liu Jun and asked Liu Jun, who was sitting in a chair in a daze.
I don't want to think about it, but now, the court doesn't have any movement on this matter, which makes it impossible to judge what I earn, and how to change it next.
"Think of what can be done, now Cixi she didn't say that she would unite with the British, I can't just order an attack out of nothing, and when the time comes, it's not the people who will be hurt." Liu Jun, who took the tea, replied and expressed the helplessness in his heart.
"What about Zhong Lin? Why didn't I see him today. Liu Jun, who took a sip of tea, looked up and didn't find Zhong Lin, so he asked Zheng Yiqian beside him.
"The telegraph room, didn't you order him to find out who proposed this and the bad idea of the imperial court, in the past two days, he has been in the telegraph room, waiting for news from Chengdu."
Of course, it has to be investigated, for this kind of person who betrays the country, if he doesn't find out and kill him, Liu Jun feels sorry for his efforts over the years, this kind of person must die, no matter who he is.
"Well, is there any news on that?" After listening to the words, Liu Jun raised his head and asked.
Zheng Yiqian shook her head: "There shouldn't be, otherwise, he would have come here a long time ago,"
This is very true, after Zhong Lin issued an order on the street, once it is something he requested, he will definitely get information as soon as possible, and then come to inform himself, so many days have passed now, and Zhong Lin still hasn't come, which can only prove. Chengdu has not yet found out.
"Head, urgent telegram." Before Liu Jun nodded, Zhong Lin's shout was already heard outside, and when he heard Zhong Lin's voice, Liu Jun, who was sitting on the side, smiled slightly and said, "It's here." ”
"Head, Wu Peifu is in a hurry." Zhong Lin, who came in, handed a telegram in his hand to Liu Jun.
Wu Peifu, why is it not a telegram from Chengdu, Liu Jun, who was puzzled, picked it up from the table and looked at it,
"Zhao Erfeng asked us to support a batch of weapons."
What the? Hearing Liu Jun's words, the eyes of the people present widened, and they thought that this was all impossible.
"Head, is there something wrong with Zhao Erfeng, how could he ask us for weapons at this time, you know, now we are going to do it to the imperial court, let's give them weapons, and when the time comes, they will beat us in turn, then it will really not be worth it." Zhong Lin began to mutter, in his heart, he was very opposed to this matter.
"What do you think?" Liu Jun didn't object to Zhong Lin's statement, but he didn't agree with it either, and after thinking about it slightly, Liu Jun looked at Zheng Yiqian in front of him and asked what she meant.
"I don't agree with Zhong Lin's meaning, from the Tibetan rebellion to now, it has been more than a year, such a long time, how can they ask us for any weapons, but now, when the imperial court is about to unite with the British, they want us to support weapons, I think they use these weapons completely to deal with future emergencies, and this emergency is estimated to be the British."
Very accurate, Liu Jun, who heard this, nodded with satisfaction. That's what he thinks too.
The world is satisfied with such a coincidence, Zhao Erfeng is not a fool, he has no need to ask the enemy for weapons at all, and now, Zhao Erfeng actually did this, then he must have gotten some rumors, so as to prepare, look at the meaning, they want to prepare for the future after the separation of the imperial court and Tibet, against the British.
"Very well, you are right, I agree with what you mean, so let's transfer five thousand rifles from the Northwest Ordnance Bureau. One hundred and twenty-one machine guns and fifty-three field guns were paid to Zhao Erfeng first, and in addition, 3.5 million yuan in taxes were withheld from Gansu and Xinjiang and transported to Lhasa. ”
"Head, isn't that too much?" Zhong Lin on the side opened his mouth wide, so many weapons are enough to equip a brigade.
"Not much, I will help them in the future." Liu Jun, who shook his head slightly, said indifferently, seeing that Zhong Lin didn't understand, Liu Jun said again: "The interests of the country are above all else." ”
Hearing this, Zhong Lin didn't speak, but took out another telegram in his hand and handed it to Liu Jun: "Head, find out." ”
"Who." Hearing this, Liu Jun raised his head suddenly, and he swore that he would kill this dog thing today.
"Love Xinjue Luo Zaitao." Zhong Lin said lightly.
Zaitao? Hearing this, Liu Jun suddenly shook his head, he didn't believe that Zaitao would betray the country.
Zaitao is a person, he can still understand a thing or two, he will be an iron-clad man in the later generations, and refuse to be a traitor. Now, it was actually him who made this suggestion, which somewhat made Liu Jun not believe it.
If it weren't for Liu Jun who had known about Zaitao, it is estimated that Liu Jun would have immediately issued an order to chase and kill, but because of the records of Zaitao in later generations, Liu Jun did not issue it, but looked at Zhong Lin in front of him: "Check with me, Zaitao will definitely not do this kind of thing, he must have been provoked by someone, young and vigorous, to say such stupid things." Look it up and find out who made it up. Get it out and tell me. ”
"Got it." Zhong Lin nodded, he knew that Liu Jun had to kill that person this time.
Tibet, Lhasa, since the telegram was sent to the northwest region, Zhao Erfeng in the minister's office has been worried in his heart, he is afraid that Liaodong will not give him any support, when the time comes, even if he has the heart to resist the British, he has no strength, after all, the equipment of his troops is too poor, many of them are carrying big swords and spears, such a force, it is okay to deal with some bandits, but what he will face in the future is the British who are armed to the teeth, let them fight, it is better to ask for their lives.
