Chapter 699: The Son of Heaven Orders His Troops
Songjiang, within the concession. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After the petition group entered Beijing, Liang Rengong chose to leave Beijing and go south to live in the Songjiang Concession. As the head of the research department, he is a mortal enemy of the Xingzhong Society. But whether it is in the Zhengjie or in the academic world, the influence of Liang Rengong should not be underestimated, and after Songjiang passed through Zhao Guanhou to the south, the power of the Xingzhong Society was greatly hit, and the power of the Guangfu Society rose greatly. Therefore, Liang Rengong was in the concession, not only did he not have to be cautious, but he drank and entertained and negotiated.
He was interacted with by former colleagues in the research department or celebrities in the academic world. These people used to use Yuan Weiting as an ally to fight against the Xingzhong Society. But when the Xingzhong Society was really expelled from the National Congress, they found that there was no one to speak for themselves. The bird is hidden, and when the prosperity will be solved, the next one to be eliminated is naturally himself.
The Congress gave the Communists a funeral, and the newly established Congress was actually only the imperial organ of the Yuan family, and the research department could not attend. The frustrated people choose to go south, which does not mean that they admit defeat, but just wait, waiting for new opportunities. Now, the opportunity has finally arrived.
Cai Feng and Liang Rengong have the name of teacher and student, he became independent in Yunnan, and raised troops to fight against Yuan, and Liang Rengong's situation is more delicate. But after all, the concession has a transcendent status, and Emperor Yuan did not dare to send people to the concession to lock people. However, recently, there have been more unidentified men in the vicinity of Liang's house, which has greatly hindered Liang Rengong's safety.
"Mr. Liang, it's time to leave. The monkey head has lost his heart, and he doesn't know when he will poison his husband, and if he stays in the capital, he will suffer from it. This time, I was ordered to protect Mr. Liang's departure, and we have already contacted a Fusang freighter, which will definitely take you out of Songjiang. ”
Standing in front of Liang Rengong was an extremely strong man, although he was wearing a suit, he couldn't hide the military temperament on his body. At a glance, it is clear that it is a military army that has fought old battles. His face is full of scars, and he looks extremely hideous, but these scars have actually become his glory, after all, a man who can fight with Lu Jun and stay alive after a shot is rare.
Dawn genius. Cen Chunxuan's former captain of the guard, was later injured by the night attack of the Lu army during the Battle of Jiangning, but finally saved his life. Now, he has returned to his old lord to listen to the order and continue to raise the banner of Yuan Daqi. Cen Chunxuan and Yuan Weiting, who are considered rivals, were originally forged by Zhao Guanhou to take a group photo by moving flowers and trees, and were ousted from power, and were placed under residential surveillance by local officials, and their situation was very miserable. By the time Ge Mingjun rose and Yuan Weiting became the president, he had already bought a boat and went to sea and lived in seclusion in the Republic of Xingzhou.
In his opinion, his fate may end here, and a foreign land will become his last burial place. But I don't want to, life is impermanent, Yuan Weiting played the most unreasonable and unreasonable hand in the case of a good hand.
The two fought, Cen Chun announced more losses and fewer wins, of course he would not let go of this opportunity. Li Tiancai, as an old subordinate, came out to support his benefactor as soon as possible and joined Cen Chunxuan's team. Liang Rengong and Cen Chunxuan have no intersection, and their views on this former Jin Fengjiang official are actually not much better than Yuan Weiting. Leaving Songjiang is inevitable, but it doesn't have to be with Li Tiancai.
"Cen Yunweng went out of the mountain to ask for Yuan...... And that's a good thing indeed. Cen Weng is extremely influential in Guangxi and is Lu Ganshuai's old boss. If he is willing to go out of the mountain to call, Lu Ganshuai will most likely sell the face of this old boss and raise troops to respond. Liang was a scholar who was not good at military affairs and was incapable of finances. As for the appeal, in Guangxi, I am afraid that there are not many people who know Liang's name, and I am afraid that it will not be helpful in front of Yun Weng. ”
Li Tiancai smiled: "Mr. Liang, you are too modest. This time it was not only Yun Shuai who went out of the mountain, but also ...... Sun Emperor Elephant. ”
He fought side by side with Chen Wuwei when he was Ge Ming, and the relationship with the Xingzhong Society was also quite deep. Naturally, I also know about the grievances between the research department and the Xingzhong Society, so what I say is also from the bottom of my heart
"I ate fried eggs in Jiangning, and I almost gave up my life. Until now, there are still many fragments in the body that cannot be removed, and when it rains on a cloudy day, the taste is ...... However, I have never hated Zhao Guanhou, nor have I ever regretted my choice. I served Cen Yunshuai as the captain of the guard, and I can see very clearly what virtues are in the officialdom of Qianjin, and I have also seen what the officialdom of Xingzhonghui is like after the republic. I won't say much about foreign countries, but in China, only cooperation can save the country, and this is absolutely true. Like Zhao Guanhou, he can win against the Orientals and keep the country, I believe in him. If Yuan Weiting becomes president with peace of mind, even if Yun Shuai comes out, I will not rebel with him. But now, Yuan Weiting is going to be the emperor. It is equivalent to that we have shed so much blood and died so many comrades, and it is not easy to overthrow the emperor, and he will invite the emperor back. What about our sacrificed comrades-in-arms? Mr. Liang, you know more truth than me, tell me, should we stand up now and oppose Yuan Weiting together? ”
Liang Rengong took a step and gently came to the window. Looking out the window, I looked into the distance, "When I was changing the law in the capital, my teacher once said that China is like a temple, and the emperor is the Bodhisattva offered in the temple. The common people must have a bodhisattva to offer. It doesn't need to be effective, it just needs to be a sustenance, and without this sustenance, people's hearts will become bad. So no matter what, he only advocated constitutional reform, not Ge Ming, and I don't have a good impression of Sun Dixiang and those people, because they want to demolish the temple. I was thinking, after the temple is demolished, who should the people worship, and the people have no gods to worship, how should they live? The emperor of Dajin is not good, so let's choose a strong man to come out and be this god. I used to think that Yuan Weiting was this god, but now it seems that I was wrong. ”
"I originally thought that as soon as Taixi fought, there would be fewer foreign fleets on the Huangpu River, but not only did they not decrease, but they became more. In order to be the emperor, Yuan Weiting can make peace with foreigners at all costs. The Orientals had obviously lost the battle, and we could take the opportunity to make terms with them, but in the end, it turned into a misunderstanding. What is the difference between this and the pre-golden era? Outsiders are speculating about why this is the case, but I got some news in Congress. Loan! For the sake of a foreign debt, our diplomats gave such a big friendship to each other. And the purpose of borrowing this foreign debt was neither to maintain the army nor to develop the economy, but to use it for military expenses, to prepare for a civil war, to eliminate all those who opposed him to becoming emperor. In order to be the emperor, Yuan Weiting can press his own country, what are we going to do with such a god? ”
His hand waved in the air, "Cen Yunweng can call on thousands of old people to respond in Guangxi, but Mr. Sun can call on thousands of people with lofty ideals to die all over the country." For the sake of our country, so as not to be eaten by foreigners, I will go with you. Let's go to the south and tear down this temple and smash this god! ”
Yunnan became independent by electricity, Guizhou responded quickly, and Yuan Keyun no longer dared to hide the news of the rebellion in the two southwestern provinces. can only report to the palace as soon as possible.
When Yuan Weiting got the news, he was not angry but happy, and laughed: "Cai Songpo really rose up and rebelled?" Good, good. Let me see how capable this little Zhou Lang is. Napoleon was the emperor with his martial arts, and he was subdued all over the world, if I didn't have a great victory, I don't know how many people in the world are thinking about my chair. I have to give them a long memory, so that they can understand that this chair belongs to the powerful, and the world is to the powerful one, and I am the powerful one! ”
Shen Jinying was a little worried about his health, and now set up the Generalissimo Command Office, and all military power was returned to the emperor. Wartime command and logistics scheduling have become the emperor's work, and Yuan Weiting's body needs to rest, and he is always so hard, how can he bear it.
Yuan Weiting said with relief: "You don't have to worry, Yunnan and Guizhou are both remote provinces, and the land is poor and the people are widowed, and it is difficult to raise soldiers." With the power of Cai Songpo, how many soldiers and horses can you get? I attacked with troops from Liangguang and Sichuan, and I didn't have to worry about victory or defeat at all. In fact, before I restructured, I was already preparing to deal with Cai Feng. In the state treasury, there is always a huge amount of 30 million yuan that is useless, and this money is just to prepare for war. Compared with troops, equipment, and salaries, Cai Feng is falling behind everywhere, where are we afraid of him? I don't need to drive in person, I just need to sit at home and dispatch. But this battle must be won, and it must be fought cleanly. When you become an emperor, you have to be different from the president, otherwise, how can you suppress those officers? ”
"Jin Ying, you don't understand, the emperor is not easy to do, a proud soldier and a fierce general, you need to use the name of righteousness to suppress it, and you also need to use strength to deter. Local governors fought with the imperial court for power in the pre-Jin era, and now they will be no exception. It was Cai Feng who came out, and I don't know who I am. If we guess one by one and catch them again, even if we have thousands of hands and eyes, we will not be able to keep busy. This is an opportunity, I'll wait for them to jump out on their own, and then catch them all! ”
The face of Emperor Hongxian showed a little hideous, "My body is not good, I'm afraid I can't accompany you for a long time, before I fall, I always have to make a vigorous career, I have to leave a stable country for you and your children, so that you can close your eyes." ”
He held Shen Jinying's hand, "You see, this time I will fight a big victory, let you see my ability." When this battle is over, I will have a good rest, and when the time comes, everything will be arranged by you. ”
For this inevitable victory, Yuan Weiting must send his cronies to the expedition. Because Guangdong was in the pre-Jin era, it was the place where the governor of Liangguang was stationed, and Long Qiguang, the overseer of Guangdong, had always been a loyal minister of the Yuan family. It is not only to add the title of two Guangxi patrols, but also to be the king of the county, in this Hongxian reward, it is the third title after Zhao Guanhou and Li Huangpo.
In addition, in order to ensure the smooth implementation of his orders, the front-line soldiers realized the combat power of Beiyang. This time, he sent his subordinate Tang Tianxi, as well as his own royal guard.
Tang Tianxi, a military attache who was born as a male favorite, is the first confidant by Yuan Weiting's side, and in a sense, he can almost compete with Shen Jinying, regardless of whether he is high or low. Yuan Weiting has called him more than once, my son Long. The newly established Seventh Mixed Brigade in Henan is a reward for this crotch Zilong.
Since it is a royal forest, the armed forces will naturally not be weak, and whether it is the establishment or military expenditure, it is allocated according to the standard of a division. Tang Tianxi has followed Yuan Weiting for many years, and he has the ability to master the troops. Military spending is sufficient, and military morale is not a problem, and the biggest difficulty that plagues the Seventh Brigade now is weapons.
According to Yuan Weiting's plan, the brigade was ready to arm itself with the stocks of the Gongxian Arsenal. But after Tang Tianxi took office, he found that the materials in Gongxian's arsenal were only half of what was on the books. The armament and ammunition supply of half the division were gone.
The person in charge of the arsenal, the relationship can go all the way to Yuan Keyun, for this crotch Zilong, although he is respectful, he is not afraid, and his words are even softer and harder. vaguely pointed out that his business was instructed by the eldest prince, and if Brigade Commander Tang insisted on pursuing it, the eldest prince would not be happy.
Tang Tianxi was self-assured, he definitely shouldn't offend Yuan Keyun, so he could only endure this breath and write his name on the receipt. As for the loss-making equipment, Gongxian can also come up with a way to "go to the Shandong Arsenal to solve it." ”
The general office of the arsenal resigned: "In the past two years, Shandong has dug a lot in Henan, arranging jobs for family members, and for children to study, and what retirement salary is there...... Anyway, a bunch of unheard terms, even the Prussian engineers in the factory were poached, and there were few who had the ability left. Although the scale of our arsenal is large, the actual production capacity is less than half of that of Shandong Arsenal, and the quality is not comparable. So far, we can only make smoothbore guns and a small number of rifled guns, but Shandong can make Mini rifles! You can also make cannons! Brigade Commander Tang has the face of the president, can't he still get a batch of arms from Zhao Guanshuai? ”
Tang Tianxi knew that he couldn't provoke Yuan Keyun, but if he added Yuan Keyun, he might not be able to provoke Zhao Guanhou if he tied it up. The military expenses in their hands are used to maintain the salaries of the troops, and if they are used to buy arms, they will not be enough. Even Yuan Weiting deliberately encircled Zhao Guanhou, how could he Tang Tianxi have the confidence to get arms with his bare hands? But apart from Shandong, he had no other way to get arms. In any case, you have to go once.
When the train stopped at Jinan Station, he still couldn't figure out how to open his mouth to Zhao Guanhou. But the one who picked up the station was neither Shandong Zhengyao, nor Zhao Guanhou's henchmen such as Gao Sheng, Huo Qiu, etc., but the adjutant Liu Jun. Although people are still very enthusiastic, Tang Tianxi's heart is already half cold. Even the adjutant Gao Sheng didn't come, which shows that in Zhao Guanhou's heart, he is nothing.
His background determines his specialty of being good at acting, and he can pretend to be smiling at everyone. As he walked, he asked casually:
"Is Guanshuai in good health? At the end of the year, the affairs of the Marshal's Mansion must be the most, I don't know where the Marshal is working now? ”
"Great...... Now in the church. Liu Jun's expression was very strange, as if he wanted to laugh, and it seemed that there were some other emotions in it. Tang Tianxi couldn't help but ask again, Liu Jun shook his head and said, "This ...... How can this be said? Handsome, getting married. ”
"Marriage...... This is not surprising, Guan Shuai is a co-star, young and prosperous, and the president knows this reputation. It must be which beauty it is, and she has entered the eyes of the crown handsome. Can you still get married? Which lady has this blessing and can have a ceremony? ”
"It's not...... The problem is not so, Guan Shuai is married to Mrs. Fengxi. ”
Tang Tianxi was stunned: "Mrs. Fengxi? Where did this start, didn't you give birth to a son and a daughter, why are you still married? ”
"That's right, Dashuai implemented the marriage law in Shandong, talking about freedom of marriage and divorce. Not only can men divorce women, but women can also divorce men. But Tang Ye, you know, in Shandong, a conservative place, it is one thing to have a law, and whether it can be implemented is another matter. Although the Marriage Law has been promulgated, it is not highly enforced, and even those who are officials are not judged according to the Marriage Law. In order to take the lead for the people, the handsome divorced his wives and then married one by one. These days, I don't do anything else, I'm busy with this every day. Marriage divorce, divorce marriage, this is a toss...... Except for Mrs. Cheng Yue and Shi Gege, everyone else came to do this fashion. This is good, in the inner house, most of the wives have had weddings with the handsome, and if the eldest wife is not good-tempered, she must die of anger. Now, how can she say that she is a big house, how can she suppress the other rooms? ”
In the church, a Prussian priest with a helpless face, listless routine "Would you like to ...... Anyway, you know those words, so I don't need to repeat them. You've played this game several times this month, can't you leave the church to the young people who really need it? ”
"Priest, pay attention to your identity, I have paid for my duties. By the way, I have to answer your question, I do! Fengxi, what about you? ”
Feng Xi said helplessly: "I'm willing, I'm willing, okay?" My lord, let's stop playing, the girl is still waiting for me, Jingci is still waiting for me to play with him, there is still soup stewed on the stove in the kitchen, I have to go back quickly. ”
In the guest seat, Su Hanzhi looked at Cheng Yue on the side and whispered: "Look, no matter what Feng Xi says, as soon as she puts on this foreigner's wedding dress, she can't hide the smile on her face. If you want......"
Cheng Yue shook her head desperately, tears rolling back and forth in her eyes, "If you don't divorce, you won't divorce if you kill me!" What if the husband doesn't have a wedding with me? I live as a member of the Zhao family, and I am a ghost of the Zhao family when I die, and I must not divorce. ”
When Tang Tianxi and Liu Jun came to the church, they were just in time for Zhao Guanhou to lean over to kiss Fengxi, and the priest looked at them helplessly. Tang Tianxi wasn't sure if Zhao Guanhou saw him, but the latter didn't mean to greet him, kissed the bride, and laughed with his wife. He shook his head, turned around and left, no matter how Liu Jun shouted from behind, he didn't mean to stop.
He knew in his heart that Zhao Guanhou's wedding was not for himself, but if he still opened his mouth to ask for armaments now, he just didn't know how to advance or retreat, and the officialdom over the years would be in vain. The variables in this world are getting bigger and bigger.
