Chapter 276: The dust settles, sit on the ground and share the spoils

Chapter 276 The dust settled, sat on the ground and shared the spoils

Soon, his gaze fell on a young officer beside the white-haired veteran...... This should be the dominating Yuan Weiting! is slightly younger than himself, but now, under the influence of his little butterfly effect, this lost the opportunity for North Korea to develop this time, and even fell into the quagmire of North Vietnam.

As far as the Qing officialdom is concerned, his current power can completely crush this Yuan Shikai, who is currently only a five-grade businessman, but although later generations have various conclusions about this Yuan Weiting, this ambitious man is definitely also a talented man...... This made Qin Kai suddenly a little tempted!

Yuan Shikai was standing behind Wu Changqing at this moment, and he naturally noticed that the eyes of the Governor of Qin swept over him, but he didn't expect anything else, and he had been in northern Vietnam for more than a year, which could be said to be a deep understanding for him. In the entire Huai Army system, the Qingzi Army is definitely a first-class unit, but obviously, this is limited to the Huai Army system.

In fact, in the battle against Hanoi, he saw for the first time the cannon fodder unit that he had always disdained, and on the front line of the war, he saw some nurse soldiers who were almost certainly recruits, but they could show the calmness that only the veterans of the Huai Army could have, although it seemed that these recruits were completely desperately suppressing their feelings!

When launching the attack on Hanoi City, he carefully observed that the officers and veterans who guarded were all rushing to the front, and the recruits were quickly brought out.

These discoveries shocked him, and it turned out that the soldiers ...... can actually practice to this Cheng dΓΉ, no wonder this cannon fodder army actually let the French plant such a big fight! Yuan Shikai lowered his head and pondered these questions, but he didn't notice that Qin Kai's gaze glanced at him two or three times, and finally withdrew his gaze.

Surrounded by everyone, Qin Kai walked into the main hall, at this time, the officers of each army lined up in the hall in turn, and the generals sat in front, staring at the lord with their eyes.

Qin Kai sat in the middle, he felt good, and even had a hint of Wang Baqi, he smiled secretly, and arched his hand to the officers present, "My lords, this military affairs in the north of Vietnam all depend on your strength, so that today's battle situation can ......."

As soon as these words came out, the generals below were all happy, and they all said that the governor of Qin sent Qin to treat his subordinates well, and now it seems that it is really good.

Yuan Shikai was also in a mood at the moment, the Qingzi Army had no merit in the war in northern Vietnam, and the only battle was to repel Li Weiye's attack in northern Vietnam before, which battle was still done by protecting his hand, and then the defensive battle of Sanyuan Bridge, although it was also a bitter battle, but after seeing the battle of Luerzhuang, the defensive battle of Sanyuan Bridge was completely a small fight.

It seems that the operation of his own five products can be moved online, and Admiral Wu Changqing has a deep friendship with his father Yuan Baoqing, and this time he has the opportunity, he will naturally promote himself...... However, thinking of throwing away his schoolbag three years ago, he spat out wild words that he wanted to "serve the frontier and live in peace and security," facing the Governor of Qin, who was about the same age as himself in front of him, but had already been on the side of the commander, he couldn't help but feel a little lost!

Qin Kai looked at the gods of the officers below, and continued: "Everyone, no matter what the previous victory or defeat was, we finally drove the French back, and today we invite you, one is to prepare a little wine to entertain you, and the other is to discuss with you the masters about asking for merit from the imperial court, and all merit and hard work should be rewarded!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the officers below were boiling, isn't this a soldier fighting a war just to get a reward and fame, Qin Kai looked down with a smile, raised his hand to signal mute, suddenly his face sank, and said coldly: "Those who bravely kill the enemy will be rewarded, and those who violate military discipline will be punished, this will not be tolerated under my rule!" ”

After saying this, Zhou Ruidong next to him had already come out, stood on the platform and took out a large stack of official documents, and read it out from the first book, "Li Rongxi, the general of the Vietnam Protector Association, trespassed on the woman in the house, and corrected the law on the spot!" ”

A soldier had already pushed out an officer with a dead face from the backyard, and this person saw an officer full of courtyards, and many people he knew, obviously ashamed, desperately bowing his head and slamming on the ground! But he did not dare to say a word begging for mercy......

Zhou Ruidong closed the official document, looked at Li Rongxi below, and said: "Li Rongxi, the day you violated military discipline, you should know today's results, although you killed the enemy bravely on the front line and won many awards, but the merit cannot be atoned, but the handsome man reads your merits, and your wife and children will be arranged in the future, you can rest assured to go!" ”,

When the officer heard this, he slammed the floor tiles, and immediately blood flowed all over the ground, but the only thing he dared to say was: "Xie Dashuai, Xie Dashuai!" ”

A few pro-soldiers behind him had already stepped forward to put him out, and after a while, there was a "bang" of gunshots, which was used to hearing the sound on weekdays, but today it was extremely shocking, this was fighting in a vassal country, and it was also the norm to play a woman in various departments of the Qing army, and some officers with ghosts in their hearts felt cold in their necks, and they couldn't help but shiver......

Seeing the young officer on the stage pick up another official document, everyone's hairs stood on end...... Fortunately, after listening to the two copies, it is obvious that the governor of Qin is not going to kill them all, these people don't know when they will be arrested, among which there are one or two people in all departments of the Qing army, and there are different charges, including robbery of property, indiscriminate killing of innocents, violating orders before the battle, and even being arrested as deserters.

The punishments also varied, apparently in accordance with the military system established by the governor of Qin......

The repercussions on the scene were also different, two of Wu Kui's subordinates of the Guangdong army were arrested because they did not listen to the orders before the battle, but he is now difficult to protect himself, and he is also trembling, just asking for more blessings, how dare he say more.

Wu Changqing's Qingzi army was also arrested, and at that time, there were officers who wanted to make trouble, and they were immediately suppressed by Wu Changqing's stern eyes, when is it now, the prestige of this Governor of Qin is monstrous, in this northern Vietnam, who still has the ability to fight against him, even if it is Lord Zhongtang, he has already given up the land of northern Vietnam.

Su Yuanchun joined the war late, and he fought all the way, and he arrested a few officers who robbed property, which has nothing to say, as for Feng Zicai's subordinates in Guijun, they all violated military discipline, and they were originally arrested by himself.

Feng Zicai and this governor are also close to each other, but the two actually have only a few opportunities to meet, and they are also very impressed by this lord's thunderous methods......

It didn't take long to read the official document and dispose of it, and the number of people dealt with was only a dozen, killing a group and arresting a group, and all the foreign generals and officers looked at this Governor of Qin with awe, which made Qin Kai very satisfied! That's what we want, and it's best to help me spread the word.

The military system that he has re-established is absolutely a system that is completely different from any old army of this era, and it is necessary to have military discipline, tradition, and spirit to strengthen the army in the Chinese style.

Of course, most of the officers present did not know that Qin Kai's large-scale handling of these disciplinary violations had other intentions, and that the most important thing in order to quickly form a situation of steady development in this part of northern Vietnam was to re-establish the prestige of the new regime in the local area.

Soon, the officers were all invited to participate in the celebration banquet, and the heads of the various departments were invited by Qin Kai to communicate alone in the living room on the side, Wu Changqing, Su Yuandi, and Feng Zicai soon came out with smiles.

And Wu Kui, the general of the Guangdong army, was finally called, he brought these 8,000 soldiers and horses to participate in the battle this time, and now there are less than 800 people left, and this battle is ...... It's also boring to think about, and it's shocking to think about it, after entering the house, there are no two people inside, but he unexpectedly saw a familiar face, this is not Lord Zhao, a staff member under Zeng Dashuai before!

"General Wu, sit!" Qin Kai looked at this with a smile, Dohak, the commander of the Guangdong Army Division, resigned due to illness last year and returned to Beijing, and Guangdong only relied on Vietnam, and the war was urgent, so there was no new admiral, Qin Kai naturally wanted to take over the military and political power this time, and the biggest resistance naturally came from the Hunan military system that had been operating in Guangdong for many years.

And to deal with this problem, this Wu Kui is obviously a useful figure, so he specially arranged this one at the end, but looking at the achievements of this Hunan army figure who worked hard from a lower-level officer to the rank of general in northern Vietnam, he can only shake his head...... What the hell is this! 9% of the battle damage!!

Wu Kui saw that this top boss, Governor Qin, let him sit down, so he hurriedly dipped half of his butt on the stool next to him, and waited for the Governor to speak a little nervously. ,

Unexpectedly, it was Zhao Liewen next to him who spoke first, and he said with a smile: "General Wu, I haven't seen you for many years, but you are old and strong, and now there are not many old brothers in the Hunan army who can lead troops and go into battle!" ”

Wu Kui hurriedly turned his head and arched his hand, "Mr. Zhao, that's true, the five towns in Guangdong are all old brothers of the Hunan Army, and they haven't been in battle for more than ten years, so it's because of the hand......"

Thinking of the 8,000 soldiers and horses he brought out this time, they were all the elite of the Guangdong army, plus the soldiers and horses that were lost in northern Vietnam the year before, now the five towns of Guangdong are probably left with the old, weak, sick and disabled, and the old man of the Hunan army is almost the same, and now there is a new governor, and I don't know what this Lord Qin plans to do!

Zhao Liewen nodded, and suddenly asked: "General Wu, I heard that your two boys are not young now, have you ever thought about letting them go to the Nanyang Military Academy opened by adults to study?" ”

This has already been said on this, how could Wu Kui not understand what the Governor meant, it seems that the Governor can still afford his own qualifications, this is to win himself over, he hurriedly responded with a smile, and got up to thank Qin Kai.

Zhao Liewen finished speaking, Qin Kai picked up a document and handed it to Wu Kui, "General Wu, this is the excerpt of the people you led in this official position, you take a look at it first, you go back and draw up a list, you must be ...... to it."

Wu Kui heard that he was acting for himself, so he let go of his worries, took the fold, and looked at it carefully, he was already sweating, this governor was still asking himself not to take credit just now, and the merits recorded on his account at this time had nothing to do with himself.

The two most related are the defense of the Sanyuan Bridge and the attack on Hanoi, but his 800 remnants are also the material for doing logistics and watching the battle from the side, and in these two things, the governor added an additional 300 prisoners and 500 kills to himself......

Spread to these remnants of their own soldiers, they have to be one by one, just by virtue of this merit, at least they can raise the rank of two grades, and there is great hope for the general soldier who mixes the second grade, this is a clear promotion of himself! He pondered for 10 seconds, and immediately decided to join the new governor wholeheartedly, under whom he would not be an official......

After listening to General Wu's confession, Qin Kai and Zhao Liewen both smiled! In fact...... Even if there is no Wu Shen General, there will be Ma Shen General and Niu Shen General, but this Wu Kui is a somewhat capable general in the Guangdong Xiang Army system, and he can be more or less useful if he recruits him, since things are going well, then there will be no more opportunities for others!

The rest of the things, Qin Kai naturally does not need to participate, that is what Zhao Liewen has planned a long time ago, to divide the various forces of the two Guangzhou, Shunchang is reversed, this is a trend that cannot be changed, in this new land, what is to be opened is the prelude to an industrial revolution, and there is absolutely no other force to disrupt the situation, this huge cost, planning for several years of war, it is time to harvest the results!

And now, the most headache in Beijing will naturally not be the queen mother who is busy entertaining all day in the deep palace, since she has a portable photographer, Li Lianying has found that the queen mother is more and more able to toss, watch a big play, go to Qingyi Garden to play a circle, and then let the photographer take a picture.

The foreman of the military aircraft minister Shi Duo is the first person to have a headache, since the Queen Mother issued a decree to establish a naval affairs yamen, and as the prime minister of the naval yamen, Prince Yi Xun naturally will not leave Beijing to deal with these miscellaneous matters, so he handed over this matter to Shi Duo, he didn't know anything about this thing, and pondered to hand over the preparatory affairs to Li Zhongtang, but this little thing also attracted a scolding from the clear stream in the court.

There is no other reason, this Lord Li, the black cauldron of the negotiation of the law is determined, and the four words of losing power and humiliating the country are heavy enough! However, who understands who doesn't know who made this treaty, Qingliu naturally didn't dare to point at the one in the palace and scold, so he naturally pointed the finger at Li Zhongtang...... At least whoever dares to do this in the future will have to weigh whether they can afford to carry this black cauldron!

Qingliu is now in the limelight, which is very different from the situation after the Sino-French War in the original history, in the original history, Qingliu because of the Yan zhΓ²ng mistake of the recommender, the two Xu Yanxu and Tang Jiong, who are known as the soldiers, were defeated in a mess, plus Zhang Peilun's sailors were all wiped out, plus Li Hongzao and Weng Tongsu in the court also cleaned up the military aircraft yamen, and the Qingliu faction was still relatively active in Zhang Zhidong, a free element, and everyone else clamped their tails.

And now, because Qingliu morally supports Qin Kai, and Zhang Peilun and Zhang Zhidong's positions are stable, plus Weng Tongsu and Li Hongzao Although they are not walking at the military aircraft, one is a household secretary and the other is an emperor, and the court is still a big man, and now it can be said that Qingliu dares to fight and scold. ,

This time, to hand over such an important naval yamen to Li Zhongtang again, Qingliu mouthfully criticized the pen, and the pro-noble conservative faction was also worried about the growing power of the Huai army, this matter was full of turmoil for a while, and some of them couldn't push it down, Shiduo had no choice but to ask the empress dowager again, and in the name of the emperor, he issued a decree to prepare for the construction of the naval yamen, but under the name of the prime minister Yixun, it was marked that it was handled by Wang Yixuan of Qingjun, Li Zhongtang of Beiyang, and Qin Kai, the minister of Nanyang, so as to calm the resentment of Qingliu.

And this county prince Yixuan, because of the proper mediation in the Sino-French War, was finally crowned as the king of Qingjun, in order to show the grace of the queen mother, of course, the county prince was entitled, and the good man Pan Gongzi dragged the fourth prince to carry a gift list, so that Yixuan had a good impression of the distant governor of Qin, who knew and knew Qin.

If this is the case, it will naturally not make the Iron Hat Prince Shiduo have a headache, just preparing for a yamen, and now all forces have been involved in it, not to mention the reward for the battle of North Vietnam, in this matter, Qin Kai, the governor of Liangguang, has already played the first batch of recommended lists, and the positions he wants are enough to reach the level of the feudal officials.

This is naturally his descendants, but the first is Sun Fu, who is in the rear, with great meritorious deeds, to ensure the supply of the northern Vietnamese army, and Qin Kai to promote Sun as the governor of Guangxi...... This first guarantee made Shi Duo's head almost painful, he knew Sun Fu's qualifications, and when he returned to the capital, this person came with Qin Kai to pay a visit, and that was obviously the first minister of the Nanyang Department.

It's just that Li Zhongtang, the minister of Beiyang, also played, and promoted Admiral Wu Changqing as the governor of Guangxi, and he also promoted the new Pan Ding to this vacancy, but this was too fast and too thorough, naturally there was no play, this time Wu Changqing fought in North Vietnam, although he did not complete the full work, but he also fought hard to the end, although Qin Kai, who commanded the military affairs in North Vietnam, has not yet repaid him for the merits, and this credit is certain.

If it was a year ago, there would have been no doubt that this matter would have been biased in favor of Li Zhongtang, but now the situation is completely different, as long as time goes by, this young governor of Qin must be a powerful force in the Qing Dynasty, and ......

Not surprisingly, there will be a change later, and the code word is ...... RO@。
