During the Xinhai Revolution, there were four forces in Guangxi, one was the remnants of the former Qing Dynasty, which was eliminated needless to say. The second is the opportunistic Qing Dynasty remnants headed by Lu Rongting, who turned to the side and erected the revolutionary banner as the king of the mountain, and now Guangxi is almost the country of Lu Rongting and others.

The other is the new army trained by the Qing Dynasty, which is the main force of the revolution in the whole country, and Guangxi is no exception. However, because Guangxi was far away from the Central Plains, the League and the Restoration Society had few forces here, so the impact on the new army was slightly lighter.

Most of the new army in Guangxi was absorbed by Lu Rongting by various means, and because Lu Rongting also had great righteousness in hand, these new troops were gradually reduced to tools of the old warlords.

There is also a kind of force that is dominated by international students and the New Army of the Northern Expedition. Since the lifting of the restrictions on studying abroad in 1901, countless wealthy people, mainly young people from large, medium and small landlords, have studied abroad, and the Japanese series has been dominant.

These students were the first in Japan to come into contact with Sun Wen's Three ** Boxer Alliance, and their international vision is far beyond others. After the Xinhai Revolution, the members of the League in Guangxi actively moved Lu Rongting to change the flag.

When Beiyang stormed Hubei, the Guangxi student army, together with a group of new troops, braved the wind and rain and traveled thousands of miles from Hunan to the north to support the revolution.

At present, the Yangtze River valley is full of countless stragglers like the Guangxi reinforcements, lacking strict organization and logistical support. These revolutionary troops thought that they would be able to get the support of the provisional government when they arrived in Hubei and Nanjing, but unexpectedly, the provisional government was empty of treasury and could not protect itself.

This creates a situation in which disarmament is necessary.

The military setbacks, the Beiyang war could not be won, and the provisional government did not want to fight, and the enthusiasm of these revolutionary armies suddenly retreated by half a half. The lack of military pay and the lack of food were the most important thing, and it divided the attention of these revolutionary troops. Now it has to be dismissed, and it has the meaning of unloading the mill and killing the donkey, so the scene is out of control.

Yang Shuai and Li Fa met Li Pingshu, and at this time they were listening attentively to Li Pingshu complaining, of course, not Guangxi, but the entire Yangtze River Basin.

But Yang Shuai is now fighting the idea of the Guangxi Army, and by the way, he has listened to countless complaints from Li Pingshu.

"Alas, Nanjing relies on Shanghai, and Shanghai is run by me and Ince. Ince is obsessed with the struggle with the Restoration Society, and all those who ask for money have come to me, so I can only order someone to chop myself up to see how many catties of meat I can sell. ”

Speaking of difficult places, Li Pingshu, a veteran figure, can't help but be discouraged, which does not rule out the meaning of catharsis.

Seeing Li Pingshu like this, Li Fa was afraid that Li Pingshu would open his mouth again, so he hurried: "Chief Li, it is difficult for me to know the way of the Shanghai Army, but my Guangxi Chamber of Commerce is not rich, but Yu Gong and they are rich enough to rival the country." ”

Li Pingshu glared and said, "Duke Yu, they are hard enough in Nanjing. "Half true and half false, it is really Yu Qiaqing who has made a great contribution to the chaebol of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and what is fake is that these people have the same virtue as Li Fa, and businessmen are businessmen.

At this time, Li Fa saw that he didn't eat well, and hurriedly turned his head: "Virtuous nephew, what you discussed with me last night, why don't you talk about it to President Li now." ”

Li Pingshu was stunned: "Oh, little brother, what do you have to tell me?" ”

Yang Shuai smiled, he didn't say a few words after entering the house, he listened to the two of them all the time, and listened more to Li Pingshu nagging and complaining, suffering this old man who worked hard for the revolution.

Yang Shuai: "Chief Li, the boy has crossed the ocean to Germany since he was seventeen years old to study military affairs at the Royal German Military Academy, and now he hopes to serve his country when he returns to China. It's just that there is no way to serve the country, last night I heard that Chief Li was worried about the matter of raising funds, the boy is not talented, although the home is remote, he has to make a contribution, even if he is killed by the old man after returning home, he has to help President Li once, and he is willing to donate 20,000 yuan to help the revolutionary cause succeed. ”

After a moment's time, Li Pingshu got up from his chair. 20,000 yuan, if you can really donate 20,000 yuan from the young man in front of you, but this morning is not in vain.

Instead, Li Pingshu understood that Yang Shuai was bleeding profusely, and it was not without what he wanted. If Li Pingshu can't hear the meaning of Yang Shuai's first half of the words, he will be in vain for a lifetime, Yang Shuai hopes to get Li Pingshu's recommendation.

Yang Shuai is also thinking about it, who is Li Pingshu, he is definitely a pivotal figure now, and even Sun Wen attaches great importance to him, the chief political officer of the two places. If he had received a letter of introduction from Li Pingshu, Yang Shuai would not have been a soldier even if he became a revolutionary.

Thinking about this, Li Pingshu calmed down, you have a request, I have a request, everyone takes what they need. So he said: "The virtuous nephew has such a heart to serve the country, good, good, it is precisely because of thousands of young people with lofty ideals like the virtuous nephew that my revolutionary momentum has today's achievements." I don't know what Lu Daoxian's nephew wants, and what can I do to help him? ”

20,000 yuan from a little brother to a virtuous nephew, these days, money can make ghosts grind.

Yang Shuai was happy in his heart, through this half a month of understanding, Yang Shuai knew that the current Shanghai is controlled by Chen Qimei's student army and business group, as well as Li Pingshu's Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau defenders, as well as the gang, as well as Li Xie of the Restoration Association and this big man who was squeezed out by Chen Qimei, also known as the Shanghai government in Shanghai and Nanjing.

It was difficult for others to come in again, so Yang Shuai set his sights on Nanjing.

"Chief Li, I heard that the provisional government wants to disarm, and the 200,000 horses in Nanjing have become the government's knot. Many of these people have guns in their hands, and if one of them is not handled well, it is not impossible to fall into the grass. If this is the case, it will be a great harm to our Republic of China, and I have an idea, which is to hope to get the help of President Li. ”

"I personally financed the purchase of weapons in the hands of the skirmishers. As soon as these people don't have guns, they can't mess around. Second, these people can go home if they have money to sell guns, which can be regarded as the government's purpose of disarmament, and it will not cause a mutiny, which is the best of both worlds. ”

Li Pingshu was shocked, he couldn't imagine that Yang Shuai had such ability, and at the same time had such strength, talent, Li Pingshu secretly commented on Yang Shuai for the first time.

After Yang Shuai finished speaking, he looked at Li Pingshu silently, Li Fa didn't say a word, and he didn't care about himself. However, seeing Li Pingshu's squinting eyes, he seemed to be a little unusual, to be honest, it was definitely Li Pingshu's great wish to help solve the problem of Nanjing's disarmament.

"The guns that the virtuous nephew acquired, how does the virtuous nephew plan to arrange it, is it possible that the virtuous nephew wants to be a warlord?"

Yang Shuai smiled in his heart, he deliberately didn't say this just now, just waiting for Li Pingshu to ask. At this time, his face was deliberately shocked, and he hurriedly expressed his selfless heart, "Why did President Li say this, although I Yang Shuai is not anything, a celebrity hero, but also a young man in the new era, dedicated to the country, President Li is so slanderous." "Breathless, of course, pretended.

Li Fa hurriedly shouted: "Zhaoyun, don't do this to Chief Li. ”

Li Pingshu over there looked at it and smiled: "Jokes and jokes, there is no intention to slander the virtuous nephew's heart to serve the country, don't blame the virtuous nephew." ”

Yang Shuai breathed a sigh of relief, as if he was trying to suppress his anger, and said: "Chief Li, I heard that Chief Li is still the director of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, so the guns purchased will be handed over to Chief Li for arrangement, and the kid will never be corrupt." ”

Li Pingshu slapped the table: "Good, good, good." "Even said that three are good, 20,000 donations, and now there is such a good idea to help the Nanjing government, and he is paying out of his own pocket, how can Li Pingshu not be impressed by Yang Shuai.

When Yang Shuai heard the three good, he knew that he had become a big wronged person in Li Pingshu's eyes. How can you not order something, besides, this time I came for a name.

"Chief Li, do you know that in recent years, guns have been regarded as treasures, and it is too late for ordinary people to buy guns, so how can they sell guns. If you don't have enough name, others won't trust me, boy, I hope President Li will help. ”

Yang Shuai was not worried that Li Pingshu would not agree, and sure enough, after seeing Li Pingshu bow his head and think for a while, he raised his head and said: "You go back first, I will say hello to Ince, and I will discuss with Nanjing, and I will notify you when there is news." ”

Yang Shuai knew that he was in a hurry, got up and turned around to greet Yang Tai, took a check of 20,000 yuan and handed it to Li Pingshu: "Chief Li, here is 20,000 yuan, I hope the revolution will be successful." ”

Yang Shuai saw a little shock in Li Pingshu's eyes, maybe he didn't expect Yang Shuai to give money now. Li Pingshu must have thought that Yang Shuai would not be allowed to hold an official position and would not give money, Yang Shuai smiled secretly in his heart, am I tender? In this regard, how can Li Pingshu compare to Yang Shuai, a human being in two lives. Give you sweetness first, and then talk about it.

Yang Shuai gave the money, turned around in an air, and left Li Pingshu with a righteous and righteous back for the country.

Yang Shuai heard Li Fa's voice behind him: "Chief Li, Yang Shuai is a junior can do this, how can I wait for someone else, this time our Guangxi Chamber of Commerce will give another 200,000." Then came Li Pingshu's excited voice.

"Virtuous nephew, even if you make some money doing business with that Teddy's partnership in Germany, you don't need to be so lavish."

"You young people, you just don't know how to be thrifty—"

Along the way, Li Fa muttered to Yang Shuai, and Yang Shuai knew that Li Fa already regarded himself as a real virtuous nephew, otherwise he would not have taught him like this. Yang Shuai had no choice but to do all sorts of things, and it was best for Li Fa: "Alas, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's a little yin virtue." ”

For three days, Yang Shuai waited for three days. There was nothing to do, so Yang Taidu waited: "Young master, when you were in Germany, you always went to Miss Gongzi's ball or something, why didn't you go to China once this time." ”

Yang Hua said coldly from the side: "It's you who want to fool around by yourself." ”

Suddenly, a call sounded outside: "Yang Zhaoyun is not here, I am sent by Chief Li, so I will ask you to go and see you quickly." ”

Yang Shuai was overjoyed, there was a door.

"Mr. Keqiang wants to see you."
