Chapter 186: Lu Rongting's transformation

"It would be better if there was a river that directly connected the Yongjiang River to the Triangle Bay, hey, the fly in the ointment, the fly in the ointment."

Several people looked at Yang Shuai's greedy appearance in the commander, and couldn't help laughing, Lin Hu: "Commander, take the right river, set the Kunlun Pass, Yulin on the left controls Sanjiangkou Guiping in the north, and there is Yunkai Mountain and Darong Mountain in the east as a barrier, and now the Third Army has controlled half of Guangxi, army commander, it's okay." ”

Yang Shuai turned his head and smiled: "So you are the chief of staff, the chief of staff, and what you think about is always military strategy." As for me, I still have to think about the issue of economic construction. Hey, without ships, our material transportation is very inconvenient, which is very detrimental to development. ”

Bai Zhuge said: "Fortunately, we can use the Youjiang River to transport the minerals in the Baise area, it seems that in the short term, our shipping industry will develop greatly." ”

Yang Shuai shook his head: "Water transportation is not a way after all, and the water of the right river is not suitable for bulk freight." The key is still on land, hey, lack of money. ”

Yang Shuai sighed, but Bai Zhuge had an extra heart, it seems that the commander is still worried about the construction of the railway. If the railroad is not laid down for a day, the army commander will inevitably have to worry about it. But if you want to build a railway, where is it so easy, it's all money.

Of course, Yang Shuai opened his mouth widely, hoping that before the implementation of the material rescue plan of the First World War, Guangxi would be able to pass the train. It's a pity, how can everything be as it should be in the world.

However, Bai Zhuge still kept a heart, there is no railway, and it is good to improve the transportation capacity of the road. For example, what kind of car the Yankee accidentally talked about last time, or you can start with that.

Nodding, Bai Zhuge made a draft in his heart, but this was not the time to say this.

Everyone turned their gaze back to the military model, which had been about doubled, and saw Lin Hu holding a long whip and pointing to the confluence of the Qianjiang River and the Yujiang River, which was the Sanjiang Estuary mentioned earlier.

"Commander, you see, the Guiping area is very geographically important, it guards the upper reaches of the Xunjiang River, and at the same time monitors the movements of the Qianjiang River. It is best to build a strong military stronghold here, but considering that we and Shen Hongying are not yet at war, if we look at Qianjiang too much, it will cause Shen Hongying's disgust. So I think that at present, we are still mainly building fortified bases with our troops to increase the defensive line. ”

Bai Zhuge said: "I agree with the chief of staff, in order to let Shen Hongying and Wuzhou eat dogs, we must ensure the smooth flow between Shen Hongying and Ma Xiaojun, and we can even give up the interface section between the Qianjiang River and the Xunjiang River, and only manage the Yujiang section." Although we are a bit passive in this way, as long as we are in Guixian County, Gui Ping has enough troops, and he does not dare to move us now. ”

Yang Shuai nodded: "Well, I plan to put Li Zongren's Independent Regiment and the Seventh Brigade in the east, and it would be good if only Zhang Dabiao's Independent Regiment was left in Nanning, and even Zhang Lingpu and Huang Xuchu in the Baise region would have to return to the team." What do you think? ”

Everyone was shocked, and a few suddenly understood that Yang Shuai did this, and it was estimated that it was another excuse to expand the army. Think about it, after all, with such a large territory now, where can an army take care of it. Now the potential enemies of the Third Army, Yunnan and Guizhou to the west, can basically be ignored. You must know that fighting across provinces is a big thing, and it is impossible without a long-term arrangement.

Including a Zhang Dabiao independent regiment, plus garrison troops and police forces, Nanning can be guaranteed without worry. In this way, almost half of Yang Shuai's main force is in the east, so that whether it is Shen Hongying and Liu Guxiang on the back, or even Lu Rongting further north, they will be uneasy. The same is true of Chen Bingkun in Guangdong, now Lu Rongting and Chen Bingkun are gradually separating from each other, so that Yang Shuai does not have to be afraid of Chen Bingkun.

Bai Zhuge first responded: "Okay, I agree, and at the same time, I suggest that Li Zongren's subordinates should be ordered to strengthen the work of suppressing bandits in their own places as soon as possible. ”

When Yang Shuai heard this, he shouted in his heart Okay, this Bai Zhuge can really think of everything like me, and immediately agreed: "Okay, then order Li Zongren to set up a bandit suppression team." Zhuge ah, this is what you proposed, and when the time comes, you can't delay the funds and equipment. ”

As soon as Yang Shuai said this, everyone looked at Bai Zhuge strangely, and Bai Zhuge also had a black face. Damn, I'm shooting myself in the foot, shit, I forgot that the most difficult thing to expand the army is myself, I'm the logistics director, mine.

What is the expansion of the army, money, money is the expansion of the army.

Bai Zhuge : "This, military commander, do you see if it-"

Yang Shuai raised his hand: "Stop, the old year has passed, the new year is coming, the new budget is about to begin, you should start more from this aspect, instead of asking me for help, for you, now Yang Tai wants to run when he sees me, do you know." Also, if you can mobilize others to raise donations, that's what you can do, but don't look at me, I don't have any money. ”

"My money is waiting to buy a ship, and now that the First World War has fallen into a stalemate, I am not happy to see those capitalists in the West making a lot of money. Tsarist Russia is now starting to move the important things back, you think about what this is. ”

Lin Hu was shocked: "No, such a huge empire as Tsarist Russia is going to lose?" ”

Yang Shuai: "Losing doesn't count, and you are wrong, Chief of Staff, even if you lose, it's not just a matter of Tsarist Russia, but the entire alliance of his allies will lose." In my opinion, there is no win or loss in this battle, and for the countries that are now participating in the war, it can only be a burden in the end. Only villains like the United States are waiting to get rich, so we have to learn from others and learn how they want to make profits from them. ”

Yang Shuai finally came to a conclusion: "That's it, strengthen the local garrison troops, increase the garrison commander, and form a bandit suppression brigade in the Yulin area, and hand it over to Li Zongren to be in charge, whether he is a direct leader or an appointment, but he is the last person in charge." ”

When everyone heard this, they knew that Li Zongren was nominally the commander of the Second Independent Regiment, but in fact he was already comparable to a brigade commander.

Just when Yang Shuai and his group were discussing how to consolidate their territory, there was a person in the north who was also looking at the direction of Nanning, Lu Rongting.

Sitting next to him were Lin Rui and Su Xixun, one was a confidant and the other was a confidant. After all, Su Xixun is his son-in-law, no matter how dissatisfied he is with himself, he has not done much to hurt Lu Rongting. As for conspiring with Liu Guxiang and wanting to split power, it was also because Su Xixun saw Lu Rongting's weakness in the second revolution and thought that Lu Rongting disregarded the general righteousness.

At this time, Su Xixun was in power, and he couldn't figure out why his father-in-law wanted to call his own person, and even Tan Haoming didn't call him, but called him? Or, after all, I'm a relative, I'm someone he can trust. Thinking of this, Su Xixun felt a lot more relieved in his heart.

Lu Rongting slowly turned his head: "Do you know why I called you two over?" ”

The two looked at each other and shook their heads.

Lu Rongting: "The Third Army captured Yulin and changed Guixian under Shen Hongying, the situation is not good." ”

Lin Rui and Su Xixun glanced at each other, but Su Xixun had a little different feelings in his heart, or, Guangxi will go further and better in the hands of Yang Shuai, at least, Yang Shuai is willing to spend money, good guy, Guangxi University said that it will be built, and thirty percent of the financial revenue will be allocated, and an additional one million will be allocated, I heard that Yang Shuai has pocketed it himself.

Lin Rui: "Old general, Yang Shuai is strong, and there are Shen Hongying and Liu Guxiang in the middle, there is no need to worry about him now, I think that we should first find a way to deal with that-that-Chen Bingkun's matter." ”

Lin Rui wanted to say that he would clean up Chen Bingkun, but he didn't think it was good, and finally just mentioned his name, which Lu Rongting could understand.

Lu Rongting shook his head: "Tan Haoming, Chen Bingkun, I kind of understand, hey." But I don't know why Yang Shuai's people are also released, why can he manage it? ”

Su Xixun: "Although I don't know much, I also know a little bit about it, which may be related to their system." I heard that now Yang Shuai doesn't care about government affairs at all, and he doesn't interfere, he doesn't even care about finances, he just holds the army in one hand, that's all. ”

Lu Rongting frowned, and gradually felt a trace of sadness in his heart. Although the people around him didn't dare to say it, how could Lu Rongting not know that many people said that he was old.

Lu Rongting sighed in his heart: "Or, I'm really old." "Don't say anything else, just talk about a powerful faction, he doesn't care about government affairs, and he doesn't even dare to finance it, this, this is something that Lu Rongting can't think of, how is this possible. However, all this seemed to be in front of him, and he couldn't help but believe it.

In fact, what Su Xixun said is not entirely right, Yang Shuai is not directly in charge of government affairs, it does not mean that he has no influence. It's like now, Yang Shuai said that if he changes the director of the reception department, Guo Taiqi can take office immediately, and if there is no strong enough influence in this, it is impossible to do it.

To tell the truth, sixty percent of the officials in Nanning are now politically on Yang Shuai's side. As a second-generation person, how could Yang Shuai not know the danger of political struggle.

Lu Rongting once again looked at his two relatives and confidants, especially Su Xixun. Su Xixun, Su Xixun, if you join the army, maybe I will directly hand over the army to you and let you learn from Yang Shuai. It's a pity that you are actually a literati. I'm afraid that my country will be handed over to you, and I will be bitten to death by some people in less than three months.

At this time, Lu Rongting suddenly remembered his little daughter, and at this moment, Lu Rongting suddenly made a decision, a decision that even he thought was incredible.

I saw Lu Rongting stand up and say, "I'm going to Nanning, hehe, to inspect the local construction." Su Xixun and Lin Rui were suddenly shocked, and heard Lu Rongting again: "By the way, look at my baby daughter, oops, girl, I don't know how to go home." ”

Lin Rui suddenly became active again, daughter, little daughter, there is an article here. Lin Rui stood up: "Yes, I'll arrange it." ”
