Chapter 189: It was a wedding salute

On March 18, 1916, Yang Shuai, commander of the Third Army of Guangxi, married Lu Yun, the youngest daughter of Guangxi General Lu Rongting.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately aroused heated discussions throughout the country.

Those who applauded said that with the combination of the two powerful local factions, Guangxi will avoid a new round of civil war, and this is a very good thing.

There are also those who disagree, saying that it is definitely not a good thing for two ambitious people to unite and produce a more powerful terrorist force.

Some intermediaries also said that as early as a few years ago, Yang Shuai and Lu Yun met, and said that the two were in love. This is just a desirable love between men and women, and it's okay if a lover eventually becomes a family, so why think about so much else.

In short, there are those who are worried, those who are happy, and those who are indifferent.

At this time, the Yang family was in a state of joy. The two old men were very satisfied with Lu Yun, and after learning that his father was Lu Rongting, they were even more excited. At this time, the Yang family was jubilant. Bride price, what, for several days in a row, there has been a wave of shopping in the entire Guinan area.

Moreover, Yang Shuai announced that on the day of the wedding, the Third Army, including all the workers and helpers of the Yang family's business, would receive an extra month's military salary and salary. Suddenly, the marriage of the Yang family made millions of people rejoice.

Shanghai, Nippon Budosha. Mrs. Black Fungus, who had not appeared for a long time, was waiting nervously at this time. Mrs. Black Fungus has always been cold and unkind, and this person can make the high-ranking Mrs. Black Fungus wait so nervously, which shows that it is a big name.

Soon, several good black cars appeared, and a person who looked like a military department walked down, and at a glance he knew that it was a general. However, the general got out of the car first, but immediately turned around and opened the door, respectfully.

Mrs. Black Fungus was also shocked, because although she knew that there would be a big man arriving today, but when she saw this general at this time, Mrs. Black Fungus was also shocked, because this general was none other than the Shenwei Commander who had just made great contributions to the empire and captured Qingdao for the empire.

Just as Mrs. Black Fungus was about to step forward to welcome Commander Shenwei, she couldn't help but be shocked when she saw Commander Shenwei's appearance, which meant that there was a figure in the car who was even bigger than being a commander.

Slowly, one foot stepped out of the car, and then, a person who was taller than the average Japanese, but at a glance could see that he was a typical Japanese person, stepped forward.

"The commander-in-chief of the Shina dispatch?" Black Mulf ** was taken aback.

Yang Shuai has been very busy these days, there is one thing that few people know, but to successfully operate this matter, Yang Shuai is very busy. As soon as he reviewed a large number of documents, Yang Tai rushed in: "Young master, young master, this, what do you mean, this gift is not accepted, but I have been fortunate enough to refuse in the past few days, what should I do?" ”

It turned out that when I heard that Yang Shuai was going to get married, many gentry found an opportunity and wanted to bribe Yang Shuai with a serious eight hundred. And Yang Shuai secretly told Yang Tai that he was not allowed to accept gifts. So, there is such a thing.

Yang Shuai held his eyes with both hands, rubbed them, and motioned for Yang Tai to sit down: "Then what do you say?" Didn't I tell you to send out a message and say that you would not accept gifts? ”

Yang Tai: "Say yes, but it has to be useful, you don't know that these old men are like too much money to spend, oops, I have seen it, it turns out that gifts are so crazy, young master, if you want me to say, why do this, he is willing to give gifts, we will accept it generously, I see, none of these gifts are less than this number, oh my, what a big sum of money, young master, I can accept it." ”

Yang Shuai was shocked: "That's not good, bribery is not a good influence." Now that I'm an example, how can I start this, and today I'm going to get married and receive a gift. In the future, people will have a name for bribery, and when the time comes, the kitten will give a gift to the next cub, think about it, this is terrifying. ”

Yang Tai was stunned: "Young master, no, what you said is so hanging, the next kitten can give gifts and receive money?" ”

Yang Shuai shook his head, Yang Tai didn't know. In later generations, it was clearly written on the documents that they were not allowed to accept bribes, but they received gifts in disguise under various names. It's not surprising that kittens can celebrate and receive gifts when they have their next cubs.

Yang Shuai: "Anyway, no, really no, or I should publish a newspaper?" ”

At this time, Yang Yongtai happened to come in, and after Li Gengen introduced Yang Yongtai, Yang Shuai was suspected of being a celestial and was immediately appointed to the post of secretary general. Yang Yongtai hurriedly said: "Commander, that's not good, it's not good to publish in the newspaper, people will think that you are pretentious, and if you get married, you will go to the newspaper and say that you will not accept gifts." ”

Yang Shuai thought about it and asked, "Then you said yes, what should I do?" ”

Yang Yongtai hurriedly exerted his ghost and god strategy, and his eyes lit up in a blink of an eye: "Commander, I think, this gift, otherwise we will accept it." ”

Yang Shuai was taken aback: "You-"

Yang Yongtai hurried: "Commander, you listen to me first." That's the case, hasn't the commander always wanted to build the railway, which requires tens of millions of funds. It would be better for the commander to set up a fundraising committee now to raise money for the construction of the railway. Then the commander took the lead in donating a sum of money to this fundraising committee on the grounds of the wedding. Then through the covert propagation of hints by the people below, those who want to give gifts will send the money to the committee. In this way, the army commander does not accept bribes, and those who have a lot of money feel that they have also helped the army commander, and their hearts are also steady, and then the third is that at the same time, we can have more funds for road construction, which is a triple win. ”

When Yang Shuai heard this, he laughed, Yang Yongtai was really extraordinary. On the same day, Yang Shuai convened people to discuss, and finally with the consent of the government parliament, Yang Shuai finally formally established the railway fundraising committee with Yang Shuai as the chairman. And on the same day, Yang Shuai donated one million funds in his personal name to celebrate the wedding.

Guangzhou has a railway, Hunan has a railway, but Guangxi has no railway, which is very unfavorable to development, whether it is military or economic, so Guangxi's railway is imperative. However, in order to do this, there is one thing that must be done well, and that is to merge the several forces in Guangxi and at least reach an agreement.

Yang Shuai's strategy is not a simple negotiation or something, he needs absolute unity, that is to say, on this issue, Yang Shuai will eventually reach a reunification by force. In particular, after Lu Rongting reached an unknown agreement, the activities of the Third Army became more frequent.

Only local police forces and garrisons remained in Chongzuo and Youjiang, and the real main force of the Third Army was only one regiment each in Qinxian and Nanning. The strength of the six main regiments of the other two brigades was all lined up in the eastern part of Nanning, in the Yulin area.

This move made Chen Bingkun in the east feel like a fish in his throat. Chen Bingkun can't see through Lu Rongting, nor can he see through Yang Shuai. Did Lu Rongting go to Nanning just for his daughter's family affairs, or did they reach a mysterious agreement between them? Chen Bingkun lives in speculation every day.

What's even more strange is that Lu Rongting, who returned to Guilin, also wonderfully dispersed all the non-descendant troops under his command, that is, all the troops except the First Army to the periphery of Guilin, far away. Lu Rongting's descendant First Army crossed the Li River and garrisoned in the area of Gongcheng.

Fools can see that this is a posture of sandwiching Chen Bingkun in the east with Yang Shuai in the south. At this time, Ma Xiaojun in Wuzhou was the weakest, and Ma Xiaojun came to power to govern Wuzhou through the parliament, and Ma Xiaojun's influence was the least at this time, out of a dilemma.

Just when Chen Bingkun wanted to win over Ma Xiaojun to fight with him, Ma Xiaojun announced that he would go to the field and go to Hong Kong for treatment.

As soon as this incident came out, the government and the opposition caused a sensation and attracted the attention of the whole country. Ma Xiaojun became an innocent person who harmed Yuchi, and at the same time verified a sentence, without strength, he can only be eliminated. And Ma Xiaojun is just a torrent retreat, and now he takes the initiative to go, in exchange for a perfect ending, which is not a good thing.

Ma Xiaojun went into the field and was even more sure of one thing, that is, Lu Rongting and Yang Shuai really joined forces to attack Chen Bingkun in the east, and it was bound to win.

At this time, Chen Bingkun couldn't help but regret it, whether he betrayed the old man and betrayed it a little early, if he waited a little longer, when his strength was a little stronger, he would not be as flustered as now.

It was at this time that the savior Japanese came.

The Japanese found Chen Bingkun, and it still has something to do with Yang Shuai. Mrs. Black Fungus repeatedly proposed to borrow money to build Guangxi, but Yang Shuai rejected it under various pretexts. Therefore, the Japanese are determined to teach Yang Shuai a lesson and hurt you, so that you can know that you can't get up without our help.

The conditions offered by the Japanese were very generous, with 2,000 armaments and half a year's military salary, which could even help Chen Bingkun expand his army by two armies, and also sent the best imperial soldiers to Chen Bingkun as instructors and staff officers. And the condition of the Japanese was that the Japanese helped Chen Bingkun defeat this joint crusade between Yang Shuai and Lu Rongting. Afterwards, Chen Bingkun obeyed the mediation of the Japanese and approved some of the suggestions put forward by the Japanese to build Guangxi together.

Chen Bingkun knows that some of the so-called suggestions must be to open factories, special zones, or something.

As for the mediation when the Japanese say, Chen Bingkun also has no opinion. After reaching this point, Chen Bingkun finally understood that he had a few catties and a few taels. If it is enough to occupy a place in the future, it is completely extravagant to say anything about competing for the world.

So, Chen Bingkun didn't think about it, so he agreed. The Japanese were also elated, but they could not have imagined what a bargain they had made.

Nanning, meeting of the military department. All the ** were surprised and looked at Yang Shuai in surprise.

"Commander, are you sure you use March 18th? It's your wedding day. ”

Yang Shuai smiled: "Then treat him as a salute above my wedding." ”
