The information in Zhao Guanhou's hands has been a deleted version after being inspected by the army department. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoHowever, the matter is there, and the simple deletion can no longer be concealed. After the incident, Zhang Zhenfang, the former overseer of Henan, suddenly suffered a stroke and could not see things.

Although he was rescued by foreign doctors, half of his body was paralyzed, and Henan Provincial Government was paralyzed. In addition, in the rest of the year, the Zhensong army asked for food and weapons, and responded to requests, raising them too much, and now it suddenly backs up, and the government is difficult to deal with.

Most of the troops in Henan Province have been stationed in the south, and the remaining troops can only be regarded as second- or third-rate in terms of combat effectiveness. After merging with the white wolf, the Zhensong army obtained a large number of foot power from the hands of the white wolf army, and with their own horses, they have formed a cavalry force that is like a soft bandit horse, coming and going like the wind, and it is difficult to capture.

What is even more worrying is that it has been supplemented by a large number of advanced weapons. The original arquebuses were discarded, and a large number of smoothbore rifled guns were better equipped than the officers and men, and the officers and men who fought with platoon guns were defeated. Among the bandits, they have always been the most lacking in arms, when have they seen so many guns and bullets? This alone already indicates that the situation in Henan has been out of the control of the government.

The White Wolf Army is poorly equipped, and although the troops have firearms, they cannot be compared with the regular army, and now there are suddenly a large number of new guns and ammunition, and the source is a big problem. Although the intelligence of the War Department is that the equipment of the 59th Regiment was captured by the White Wolf Army, the total number of the two armies of the White Wolf Town and Song has exceeded 20,000 people, and there is only one 59th Regiment, where can there be so many arms and so many people?

Zhang Yuting said: "I was in the stone alley, I heard about it. Jiang Fangzhen of the Baoding Military Academy suggested that the president should set up a model regiment, saying that he would use a model regiment to replace the original six towns of Beiyang. Look at the meaning, this model regiment is located in Henan. But this model regiment is not very good, how can the group of bandits be cleaned up? This battle is quite bearish. ”

Lu Ganqing snorted, "My troops in Guangxi have been using old guns, and they have reported three shots, but no new guns have been issued. In the end, it is better to be close to our own people, there are so many guns and bullets to arm the bandits, but there are no weapons to arm the new army, what are our troops? ”

Zhao Guanhou smiled at the two, "Two brothers, now is not the time to be annoyed, and wait and see, what is the president's next plan." More than 20,000 people have become a climate, and I don't think there is much hope for Henan Province to solve the problem. Hunan and Shaanxi, all of them have to be moved now, and maybe, I will bring them back to Shandong to prevent this force from entering Ludi. ”

Zhang Yuting also realized that the white wolf was a very ready-made excuse to get out, and immediately echoed, "That's." If they fled north to the mouth and joined up with the Rouran horse thief, it would be even more troublesome. We have to ask the president for instructions, and immediately go back to our respective defense areas and prepare to suppress the bandits. ”

Lu Ganqing knew that the three of them bowed to each other in order to support each other, and immediately said: "Not bad." In this battle now, I think the best way is to guard their respective defense areas, and Zhong Yang will send troops to be responsible for attacking and suppressing. It's better to have your own territory and live by yourself than to invite outsiders to come and see, and there will definitely be something wrong. ”

After Longyu's Feng'an ended this time, it was supposed to be Yuan Weiting's birthday, but now, he no longer had any thoughts of celebrating his birthday.

An entire arms train, plus three secret arms depots in Henan, were all sacked by the White Wolf Army. The salaries and ordnance prepared for the preparation of the model division were all taken by the White Wolf Army. The white wolf army's knives, guns, sticks, and several old guns were left at the scene. In addition, more than 20 heavy artillery pieces and more than 700 rounds of shrapnel were thrown at the scene and no one used them.

This huge amount of military expenditure was all used to arm its own enemies, and the already stretched finances were even worse. But what is even more worrisome is the opinion of the local overseers on this matter.

Originally, the purpose of preparing for the establishment of a model division was to train its own fundamental troops, ensure that it would completely obey its command, and replace the towns in Beiyang in the future. This plan was a top secret, the arms were purchased from Fuso, the funds and loans were also from the Zhengjin Bank, and the instructors were all Fuso people. Except for a few specific parties, no one else knew about it, and even Shen Jinying was kept in the dark.

However, more than 20 cannons cannot be hidden, and the provincial governors only need to analyze it a little, and they can know that they are actually secretly forming an army. The army was in full force, and the Overseers' authority was threatened, and they slept with one eye open. If you don't have an opinion about yourself, it's impossible.

Now to exterminate Bai Lang, it is inseparable from the service of the local overseers. Duan Zhiquan and his mastermind Xu Youzheng discussed several times and formulated a huge battle plan. The five provinces of Shaanxi, Hunan, Shandong, Hebei, and Henan were involved, and nearly 200,000 troops were mobilized. The scale of mobilization turned out to be greater than the battle against Ge Ming's army.

Is this the six towns of Beiyang that you created by yourself?

Looking at this plan, Yuan Weiting almost wanted to tear this plan to pieces, and then called Duan and Xu to scold a bloody dog. To deal with the armed forces formed by a small number of generals, it is necessary to mobilize so many troops, where is the face of the country, and where is the face of the country?

If we fight a war like this, I am afraid that foreigners will never pay attention to China's military strength again, and even their own image as a strongman will be ruined. However, the division of one town is enough to sweep away these rabble, and this plan is to use his face to lay the floor.

However, when he calmed down, he had to admit that the suggestion put forward by the staff officer named Xu Youzheng was the most in line with the actual situation of the Beiyang Army at present, and it was also the safest method.

The elite of the North Ocean are mostly in the south. Once mobilized, I am afraid that there will be signs of instability in the southeast, which has just been conquered for a long time. Moreover, the blood cost of buying weapons by yourself is counted. Even without the assistance of special forces such as artillery, a simple rifle brigade is not easy to deal with. Moreover, they have horses, and their mobility is above their own army.

Now the troops in the provinces, nominally with the name of Beiyang, are actually new troops, and they have never seen blood, and the outcome is really not optimistic against such a bandit that has accumulated for many years.

But such a plan is inseparable from the cooperation of the local overseers, and now that they know their intentions, will they be as loyal to them as before? Once the local Overseers have turned away from them, or if they see the weakness beneath their glossy surface, will the next steps be realized?

It's just one step away from it, and you're ready to make it! He only needs a year to build up a model division, then dismantle the local overseers, and return the power of the provinces to the top, and then realize his ideals. He and the Fusang people are vain and wronged, perfunctory prevarication, in order to gain time and use their own strength.

As long as we train ourselves to become a strong army and take the national military power in our own hands, no matter whether it is Fusang or Tiele, we can no longer think of making a move against China. For two years, he was infamous and maneuvered between the great powers, finding a way to balance, and the hardships were difficult to describe. Seeing that something big was about to happen, this stick was ruined, but all his efforts were wasted.

At present, he does not have too much military salary in his hands, let alone enough troops, and the situation is just like the Dajin court when facing the Wuchang Uprising. At that time, the Dajin court was seen to be weakened by the governors of various places, and the Yellow Dragon Banner became a five-color flag. Now, his external strength and middle cadres are also exposed in front of his former subordinates, who will come and sit on his own chair?

He closed his eyes, his heart fluctuating, and he couldn't calm down for a long time. It wasn't until a pair of slender hands gently massaged his temples that his mood was slightly soothed.

"Jin Ying, you're here."

"Yes, who would dare to touch the mold at this time except me?"

"It seems that this position is not good, and it makes people terrible. I also feel that since I became president, you have been getting farther and farther away from me. People say that the emperor is a widow, but now although I am not the emperor, there are not many people around me. ”

Yuan Weiting opened his eyes and suddenly grabbed Shen Jinying's hand, "I know that I have done a lot of wrong things, and some things are even irreparable. The people around me hate me, hate me, fear me and avoid me, and even my son may not have the same heart as me. The only one who is really with me is you. Promise me, don't leave, I don't want to be a widow/"

Shen Jinying's face flushed slightly, and he fell obediently into his arms, "Old husband and wife, what are you doing here?" I'm already a half-aged, and I don't deserve it from you. In the future, there will be three palaces and six courtyards, three thousand fandel, if you can still remember me as a person, I will be satisfied. ”

Yuan Weiting smiled bitterly: "Three palaces and six courtyards? Now it's this Jurentang, whether I can live or not, I'm not sure, how dare I think of the West Sixth Palace? I really didn't expect that a little white wolf ...... There is nothing more absurd than this in the world. Emperor Sun is like a masterpiece of a generation, and he has never been my opponent. The white wolf is just a bandit leader, but it makes me, the president, helpless, is this retribution? ”

"Dragons can make clouds and rain, but they are afraid of maggots, which doesn't mean that maggots are more powerful than dragons, does it?" Jin Ying smiled charmingly, "I came here, I have something to tell you, others dare not come to this matter, so I have to say that it is bad." On the War Department's side, there was a fight. ”

Yuan Weiting raised his eyebrows, "Presumptuous!" Who is so bold and fights in the War Department, in this eye, is there any commonality, and there is no loneliness...... President Ben! ”

"There are no outsiders, Duan Zhiquan and his henchman, Xu Youzheng, the deputy commander of the army, quarreled with Guanhou, but they didn't do anything. There are so many soldiers, there will be no real fight, but it will be very unpleasant. ”

Shen Jinying said as if she was talking about homely, and her tone was very calm, "Vice Minister Xu wants Zhiquan to be the commander-in-chief of the bandits, and the troops of all provinces will obey Zhiquan's dispatch." Shandong first dispatched a cavalry regiment into Henan to participate in the suppression of bandits. As a result, Guanhou said that unless there was a warrant from the president, the War Department should not want to transfer a single soldier from Shandong. Duan Zhiquan protected that Xiao Xu and quarreled with Guanhou. A chief and a sub-chief actually turned their faces, this is really, what is the difference with a child. ”

Yuan Weiting's face was very gloomy: "What about the crown marquis?" ”

"Let's go, saying that Zhang Yuting's turtle and Lu Ganqing accompanied him and went to Bada Hutong to drink flower wine. The person who reported the news said that Zhiquan lost his temper at the War Department and threw several cups in a row, saying that he could not be the commander-in-chief. ”

Yuan Weiting shook his head, "From the time of the previous gold, Guanhou was a well-known thorn. Zhang Yinheng's table he lifted, he beat the feudal division of the imperial court, there was nothing he didn't dare to do. Zhiquan has nothing to recruit him, isn't this asking for trouble by himself? In terms of seniority, he is still a generation behind, which is not happy for himself. ”

"Who's to say it isn't?" Shen Jinying did not say good things for Zhao Guanhou, but talked about the other side of the problem: "Zhiquan and Guanhou are their own people, but Xiao Xu is an outsider." If you help outsiders and make things difficult for your own people, other people will inevitably be chilled. Besides, the crown marquis has the friendship of several provinces, if you deal with him casually, what should the overseers of those provinces think? I don't know anything about military affairs, but I know that when you fight, you have to be together. If we can't unite within ourselves at this time, we won't be able to fight this battle. Guanhou's words are not wrong, the 200,000 military power is handed over to Zhiquan, is his burden too heavy. The generalissimo of the National Navy and Army, but the president, not him Duan Zhiquan. ”

Yuan Weiting was thinking about it just now, just like he usurped the Dajin country, there would also be a person who would take advantage of the White Wolf Rebellion to seize his own country. Hearing Shen Jinying's words, he immediately felt worried.

"You have a point. Zhiquan is the Minister of the Army, and with him as the commander-in-chief, the burden on his body is too heavy, hundreds of thousands of troops will be suppressed, and the responsibility is heavy, and I am afraid that he will not be able to bear this burden. I'm the president, and I can't throw all the pressure on the below, this commander-in-chief...... I'll do it too. ”

He was in the capital, so it was naturally impossible for him to go to the command strategy of the former enemy, and he served as the commander-in-chief, which was actually to seize power. The people below who are actually in charge of the affairs of suppressing bandits can only be regarded as his subordinates, and they will not take away the military power. He pondered

"Guanhou can't go without punishment, otherwise Zhiquan won't be at peace. In this way, he will be fined two years' salary, and his salary has not been received by the War Department in the past two years, and this part of his salary income will be confiscated in the future, and he must abide by military law in the future, and he cannot be capricious. ”

"Yes! He is young, and he should be taught a lesson, otherwise, he doesn't know what trouble he is going to cause. ”

Yuan Weiting pondered for a moment, and then said, "A-Ying, you go and find the Lei Butcher and ask him to prepare a check for 10,000 yuan and send it to the Fengyun class." Tell the head of the place that the expenses of the crown marquis there will be reimbursed by the presidential office. Tell him to come to Jurentang to see me quickly, and stop drinking flower wine.
