Chapter 297: Nogi Nishinori's Worries
Zheng Yiqian has been with Liu Jun for more than two years, where would she not know Liu Jun's habits, and smiled slightly, she is the biggest support for Liu Jun.
Liu Jun chatted with the people for only one purpose, that is, to understand whether his decision a year ago was the right decision.
At the end of the year a year ago. After Liu Jun finished the military plan of the corps commander, he convened a meeting of administrative officials from all over the country to convene a resolution meeting, and the content of the resolution was to set up a supervision office.
There is no big war in Liaodong, and in addition to the rapid economic development, this will make some people greedy, and they will start to make small moves behind their backs and be greedy for money.
In Liu Jun's view, Liaodong is not the imperial court, in the imperial court, the official is the sky, and the emperor is the sky, but in Liaodong, where he is in charge, the people are the heavens, and everything else is secondary.
Many of the officials in Liaodong were directly transformed by the officials of the imperial court, which inevitably had some ugly habits, so he set up a supervision office according to the practice of later generations, but there were some differences.
The personnel of the Liaodong Supervision Office are not government personnel, but the people, and every county and state has a supervision office, and the managers of the supervision office are voted by the local people. Changed once a year. Their task is to monitor whether local officials and the government are implementing Lushun's decisions and measures. The official document issued by Lushun, in order to worry about tampering with it below, was directly posted by the Intelligence Bureau after Wu Datong signed it. The above is clearly written on how much tax is collected by various localities each year and what decisions are made.
Of course, in order to prevent the people of the Supervision Department from colluding with the government, Liu Jun also has a secret supervision bureau, and the manager of this bureau is Zheng Yiqian, this secret supervision bureau, no one knows who they are, anyway, maybe a beggar, he may also be a supervisor, as long as these things are found and found out, there is only one result to wait, immediately shot, without a defense, and without a sentence of many years.
After this resolution was recognized by all localities, it began to be implemented after the Chinese New Year last year, and the Lushun area, because under their noses, no one dared, but the field was different, and it took a year. There are more than 300 people who have been found by the Supervision Bureau, and for this kind of person, Liu Jun is ruthless, kills directly, and sits in a row, killing one family. And he did not believe it, and he could not deter these moths.
The measures are appropriate, from the mouths of the people, Liu Jun got a very satisfactory answer, these people come from different places, so for their own inquiries, although the answers are different, but the result is the same, that is, the current officials from all over the country are not messing around, even if there are a few, it is just because of special circumstances.
Originally, I wanted to ask about the lives of the people again, but because the time of the train could not stop, Liu Jun could only reluctantly greet these people and get on the train.
Liu Jun's special train was temporarily transferred from the passenger train by the Liaodong Railway Bureau, and there was nothing special in it, it was just cleaned again.
As soon as Liu Jun got on the train, the No. 377 special train began to start, and began to slowly leave the Lushun Railway Station with thick smoke and drive towards Pyongyang.
At this time, the train was not the same as flying in later generations, reaching a speed of hundreds of kilometers per hour, and that was the case, the speed of the train was already faster than that of horses, I don't know how many times.
Originally, it took at least six days to reach Pyongyang from Lushun, but this time Liu Jun arrived in Pyongyang, it was only a little more than a day.
This time, Pyongyang inspected not the local people, but military facilities and exercises, so Yoo Jun did not inform the North Korean royal family. Just notified Ding Ruchang.
Ding Ruchang is now in North Korea, that is the figure of the emperor, the North Korean royal family has to give him three points, and any major things will be discussed with him and approved before they can be implemented.
Moreover, Ding Ruchang's First Corps was the largest number of troops under the jurisdiction of the entire Liaodong Army.
Originally, the Liaodong Corps was simply more than 40,000 people in two armies of one corps, but North Korea was special, because North Korea was going to confront Japan, Liu Jun put all the troops in North Korea under the control of Ding Ruchang, so now, the army in charge of Ding Ruchang is not 40,000, but with the addition of the first division of North Korea, the second cavalry army of nearly 70,000 horses.
70,000 people, more than 30,000 against a Japanese army and a division in Korea.
After a simple welcoming ceremony at the Corps Headquarters, Liu Jun went straight to the map, and after looking at the terrain around Pyongyang and the situation of troops stationed in various places, Liu Jun got to the point.
After looking at Ding Ruchang, Liu Jun put down the command cadre and ruler in his hand: "Old Ding, how many troops do you plan to use in this exercise." How much the North Korean army used. ”
After receiving Liu Jun's secret telegram, Ding Ruchang urgently convened a meeting and worked out the number of people to participate in the military exercise, and now when he heard Liu Jun's inquiry, he immediately replied in a confident manner: "Marshal, we have studied and decided that we will mobilize the Second Army, a cavalry division, and a North Korean 40,000 dead people to participate in the exercise. ”
Forty thousand. Some time ago, the number of people in the Japanese exercise was 20,000, and the artillery used was nearly 50 guns, and after opening the plan and arrangement handed over by Ding Ruchang, Liu Jun took a look, and Ding Ruchang obviously understood his intentions, and actually dispatched hundreds of artillery pieces.
Moreover, the chosen exercise site is less than 20 kilometers away from the place controlled by Japan, and this location is good, which will not provoke Japan, but also let Japan know that if you have a warship, I can still destroy you.
With a snap, Liu Jun closed the plan, and after pondering for a while, he raised his head lightly: "According to your wishes, move the troops, and in three days, I will see the exercise begin." ”
Liu Jun made the final decision. The various armies that had been waiting for orders began to be notified one after another and began to move to the border, and the large-scale troop movements would inevitably not escape the eyes of the Japanese, and the troop movements in the vicinity of Pyongyang had been less than six hours. The military headquarters of the Second Army set up in Seoul by Japan received information about the large-scale troop movement of the Liaodong Army.
The Second Army, which was beaten by Liu Jun in Liaodong at that time, was attacked again in Pyongyang, and was already incomplete, and the Second Army, which was originally more than 23,000 people, arrived in Seoul and said that there were less than 13,000 people left, and after the war, the "Treaty of Tianjin" was signed. Japan gained the right to administer southern Korea, and Japan, which had relieved itself, transferred troops from various places this time to supplement the Second Army, and made Nogi Nishinori the commander of the Second Army.
War room of the military department. Nogi looked at the map of Pyongyang with a puzzled expression, and on the desk behind him was still the information that had just been sent from the telegraph office not long ago, and the movement of troops of the Liaodong Army and the North Korean Army stationed in Pyongyang.
An army, a cavalry division, and a North Korean division, 40,000 horses, what is Ding Ruchang going to do?
With a snap, Nogi Nishinori, who couldn't figure it out, suddenly threw the pen in his hand on the table and closed his head depressedly.
"Your Excellency, is Ding Ruchang a retaliatory action in response to the last military exercise?" Saburo Ono, the chief of staff next to him, bowed his head and pondered for a while, then said what he thought.
There was no reply, but from Nogi Xidan's eyes, he agreed with Ono Saburo's statement.
Some time ago, he held a large-scale military exercise around Seoul, and this exercise was an order issued by the War Department, not his own will.
It turned out that after the two battleships joined the combined fleet, the Admiralty, which had been suppressed by the War Department, suddenly trembled, and began to propose at the meeting that the annual military expenditure of the Admiralty should be six layers, and looking at the meaning, Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi wanted to agree, which made the War Department unable to sit still, so in order to prove the strength of the Army to the Prime Minister, the War Department asked Nogi Xidan to conduct an exercise in Seoul, first, to let the Japanese upper echelons know the strength of the Army, and second, to demonstrate to Ding Ruchang in Pyongyang.
Demonstrate. After receiving this telegram, Nogi Nishinori did not agree to conduct military exercises in Seoul at that time, but it was very simple, Ding Ruchang was not a good person, and he would definitely not sit idly by.
At that time, he thought that if he conducted the exercise by himself, Ding Ruchang would definitely be courteous, and the scale of the exercise would definitely not be smaller than his own.
However, he did not expect that this time Ding Ruchang actually mobilized 40,000 people to participate in the exercise, and the location of the exercise was actually less than 20 kilometers away from the area under his control. It's a plain way to tell yourself. You're restless, I'll call me at any time.
"Baga, damn the War Department, damn Ding Ruchang." Angry, Nogi Nishinori, who couldn't find his anger, overturned everything on the table at once. Gasping for air.
