Chapter 183: The Forgotten Diplomat of the Republic of China

The Republic of China is still not peaceful, and the battle between the government and the court in the capital is in full swing. The powerful faction Duan Qirui was very dissatisfied with Sun Hongyi, who was supported by Li Yuanhong, and Duan Qirui even considered the determination to drive Sun Hongyi out of the cabinet, and by the way, he also taught Li Yuanhong behind Sun Hongyi a lesson.

But Duan Qirui never expected that Sun Hongyi's attitude was unusually tough. Resolutely: "No resignation, no going abroad, no transfer." "Choke Duan Qirui's anger.

In the end, Duan Qirui could only make a big move, so, in the case of Duan Qirui personally going into battle, Li Yuanhong, who had always been weak, began to be shocked again, remembering that he was anxious, and asked Xu Shichang, another "veteran" from Beiyang, to mediate.

Xu Shichang looked at it, okay, let me mediate, okay, I'll give you a plan, that is, let Sun Hongyi and Xu Shuzheng step down at the same time, it's always good. Duan Qirui is gone, mother, plus the surname Ding, is also Li Yuanhong's henchman, I want to exchange one for the two of you.

Li Yuanhong was really embarrassed, and finally agreed. At this point, the loyal Ding was disheartened.

Because of Xu Shichang's mediation, it seems that the wind has calmed down, but the struggle between Li Yuanhong and Duan Qirui is far from over. Both sides began to increase their scheming with foreign masters, the United States, Li Yuanhong; Duan Qirui inherited the mantle of Yuan Datou and became a Japanese lackey.

Guangxi, Nanning, the Third Army generally took Yulin in a shower and captured Lu Yungao alive, Li Zongren immediately put forward his opinion, and used Lu Yungao to recruit thousands of soldiers and horses in Heng County. Yang Shuai saw that there was an opportunity, and immediately entrusted Li Zongren with carte blanche to handle it. At the same time, he made preparations with both hands, and ordered the three main regiments led by Lu Guoquan on the eastern front to press forward step by step, putting psychological pressure on the remnants of Hengxian.

"I have to go to Qin County." Yang Shuai stood up and said.

Bai Zhuge frowned: "Commander, do you want to mention Li Zongren?" ”

Yang Shuai nodded: "I know, you are a little fox, there is no question that you can't figure out." Yes, I want Li Zongren to be promoted to another level. But he is now the deputy brigade commander, and if he is promoted, he will be the brigade commander. A few months ago, he was just a small regiment commander under Wang Jinsong, and he became a brigade commander in a blink of an eye, but Wang Jinsong still stood still, I was afraid that Wang Jinsong would have an opinion, so I went there in person, which can be regarded as an explanation, I hope he can figure it out. ”

Old friends have to be reused, Bai Zhuge is of course happy in his heart, but at this time he has a lot of issues to consider, and he must focus on the overall situation. Bai Zhuge said: "That's fine, army commander, my personal opinion is that if Brigade Commander Wang has a pimple on his side, Li Zongren might as well follow Zhang Dabiao's way and form an independent regiment, which may be more acceptable." ”

Yang Shuai smiled: "Okay, why didn't I think of it, hahaha, yes, you can start an independent group, hehe, okay, good, but I still have to go to this Qin County." Heck, Qin County has been making a lot of fun recently. ”

Bai Zhuge was stunned for a moment, and then understood: "Commander, you're talking about the original material plan." Hehe, these gringos, went to the north and touched a nose of ash, and now they finally figured it out and turned back to find Yang Tai. ”

Yang Shuai also laughed: "Yang Tai is a careful eye, foreigners going north, it is equivalent to abandoning us, this belongs to crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, now they are back, Yang Tai can give them a good face, no, it's been a few days, foreigners have called my house, hahaha." ”

At this time, Bai Zhuge suddenly wanted to say a question: "Army commander, with the growth of our army, I hope that the army commander can set up a special diplomatic department, which belongs to the diplomatic department of the military department." ”

Yang Shuai was stunned, belongs to the diplomatic department of the military department? The original government also had the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but people slowly discovered that Yang Shuai was in charge of the Nanning region. So Bai Zhuge is like, if there is a diplomatic department that is directly responsible to Yang Shuai, it will save a lot of things, and there will be savings in terms of funds.

Yang Shuai thought for a while: "No, there is no need for other settings, it is better for us to recommend someone to the diplomatic department." ”

Bai Zhuge : "The commander wants to occupy the magpie's nest?" ”

Yang Shuai nodded, it is definitely much better for the dove to occupy the magpie's nest than to build a nest by himself. "Zhuge , you and Siyuan in the past two days, it's best to talk to Brother Junwu as well, and we'll study it when I come back from Qin County to see if there is a suitable candidate."

Bai Zhuge nodded: "Okay, oh yes, military commander, the diplomatic department in Nanning is not called the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it is only in the capital, and we can only call it the reception office here." ”

Yang Shuai raised his hand: "It doesn't matter what his name is, just have this function, okay, I'll go to Qin County." ”

Bai Zhuge : "Ah, go now?" ”

Yang Shuai: "Just go, how can there be so many bits and pieces, I'm leaving, you can pay attention to the affairs of Youjiang and Hengxian at any time, and pay attention to Kunlun Pass." ”

Bai Zhuge was dumbfounded, and just watched Yang Shuai leave, Ah, leave a lot of tasks for me when you're done, who is the army commander?

When Yang Shuai came to Qin County, Wang Jinsong was also surprised, in the office, Yang Shuai looked at the simple furnishings, and couldn't help but look at Wang Jinsong a few more times.

"Commander, why didn't you give a notice in advance?"

Yang Shuai smiled, like an old friend, hugged his shoulders and Wang Jinsong: "Okay, Jinsong, you and I still say this." ”

After all kinds of cold and warm greetings, Wang Jinsong: "Commander, you came in person for Li Zongren." Commander, you underestimate me. ”

The sentence that you underestimated me made Yang Shuai's heart hot, and he couldn't stop nodding, nodding, nodding again, but he didn't say anything more. Finally: "Jinsong, you are a person who understands the general situation, I am relieved that Triangle Bay will be handed over to you." ”

Wang Jinsong was stunned, and Yang Shuai: "After I return to Nanning, I will propose that Qin County be upgraded to a city, and then you will be the mayor and the commander of the Eighth Brigade." ”

Wang Jinsong was shocked: "Commander, this, what did I do, the brigade commander is okay, after all, I am a soldier, but, but this mayor-"

Yang Shuai smiled: "Don't worry, Jinsong, I know it in my heart." Zhang Dabiao, Lu Guoquan, and even Li Zongren later got what they deserved. Only you have been wronged, I know it in my heart, and I will not forget you. As for the mayor, I said you can, you can. You are steady and aware of the general situation, and you have a view of the overall situation, and the mayor of a district cannot help you. ”

Wang Jinsong was moved in his heart, yes, all along, everyone has been promoted, and the fame of fame, only he has been standing still. At this time, Yang Shuai's words rushed to Wang Jinsong's heart, and Wang Jinsong felt that he was the most favored person.

Later, Yang Shuai talked a lot with Wang Jinsong, Yang Shuai rushed back to Nanning in the middle of the night, and when he arrived in Nanning, it was already noon the next day. Bai Zhuge was also taken aback when he saw Yang Shuai, my ah, why is this coming back.

Yang Shuai's efficiency was fast, and Bai Zhuge was also surprised by his efficiency, because at this time, Bai Zhuge had actually found the candidate for the position they discussed yesterday.

"Guo Taiqi?" Yang Shuai hadn't heard of this person.

"Yes, the military commander, Guo Taiqi studied in the United States for a doctorate, participated in the National Revolution since the Xinhai Revolution, and was the secretary of the Hubei Military Government at that time. He has successively served as Li Yuanhong's English secretary, adviser to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, counselor and other important positions. He resigned from the presidential palace last month because he was not used to seeing the contradictions between Duan Qirui and Li Yuanhong, and he had no intention of staying in Beijing. Now in Shanghai, yesterday afternoon, President Ma Junwu had sent a telegram to Guo Taiqi with several doctors, and called back this morning, saying that Guo Taiqi was willing to come to Guangxi to have a look. ”

Yang Shuai: "Willing to come and have a look?" ”

Bai Zhuge smiled: "Commander, are you still worried about this?" Whoever is willing to come and see will be able to run away from you in the end. ”

Yang Shuai was stunned for a moment, and then pointed at Bai Zhuge : "Hahaha, you, you." Okay, don't be suspicious of using people, but before using him, you have to understand this Guo Taiqi clearly, after all, he is- ah, you just understand. ”

Bai Zhuge said: "Yes, understood. At the same time, I thought to myself, even if I don't understand, don't you still have the terrifying leader of Dai Li.

"Youjiang was victorious, Kawang was killed by a stray bullet, the defenders of Baise surrendered, and Zhang Lingpu decided to fight Youjiang."

"Li Zongren's troops entered Yulin, 4,000 people in Hengxian County broke through the siege, and only more than 1,000 people broke through Li Zongren and Lu Guoquan's army and fled to the direction of Guixian, or they have surrendered to Shen Hongying."

"Yang Shuai, the giant of Nanning, dominates the southern Guizhou region, and this son is really only twenty-four years old?"

"A big warlord with great ambitions, an executioner with bloody hands."

Overnight, folklore, newspapers published, Nanning once again made headlines. Some people even began to predict that Yang Shuai broke the Youjiang River, which is equivalent to opening up the passage into Yunnan and Guizhou, and the project of the Triangle Bay Wharf has begun to appear in the eyes of the world, and Yang Shuai will become the most likely overlord in the southwest.

There are only two large cities, and they are predicted to become hegemons. Such a prediction will naturally not be paid much attention to, but it shows a flavor. Yang Shuai has gradually changed from a patriot to a warlord, whether he wants to or not.

In fact, it's as simple as that, if you don't have an army and don't occupy territory, you are a patriotic revolutionary comrade, and if you have territory and an army, you are a warlord.

There is no place to reason for this kind of thing.

After taking Baise and Yulin one after another, Yang Shuai's first order was to stay put, deter militarily, and then digest it. It was also at this moment that Li Zongren began to officially break away from the 8th Brigade and become the commander of the 2nd Independent Regiment.

Development, digestion. Yang Shuai ushered in a suit and leather shoes, full of cautious gentleman-like people, Guo Taiqi.

When he first saw this person, Yang Shuai felt that this was not Lang's false name, or that he was genuine. After a night of conversation, Guo Taiqi was appointed as the director of the Foreign Affairs Reception Office in Nanning, which made Guo Taiqi surprised by Yang Shuai's courage. In the end, the arrogance in my heart also swarmed up, if you dare to give, I dare to ask for it. Guo Taiqi took office with his bare hands, and the next day, Yang Shuai heard that Guo Taiqi had deposed the original people of the seven reception offices and used a group of young and energetic juniors.

After Yang Shuai listened, he laughed and didn't say anything more.
