Chapter 716: The Marshal's Might (I)
After all, Beiyang is a group from the former Jin Dynasty, and the style and officialdom habits of the former Jin era have been preserved to a large extent. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info If Zhang Yuan's traces of the former gold are reflected in the outside, the traces of the former gold in Beiyang are deep into the bone marrow and connected by blood.
Seniority is something that cannot be avoided in the entire Beiyang system. Most of the 7,000 soldiers who survived to the present day became officers. This is Beiyang's employment standard, before being promoted, the first look is the resume, origin, and even place of origin, rather than ability. When it comes to big things, again, it is necessary to determine the position based on the resume, rather than simply looking at the ability or strength.
Zhao Guanhou's strength in Shandong is indeed extremely strong, but the entire Beiyang system is not clear about the real losses in the Battle of Shandong. According to common sense, even if the enemy country wins, it will inevitably hurt its muscles and bones. Therefore, on the one hand, it acknowledges that the Shandong troops have strong combat effectiveness, but on the other hand, they do not believe that they can be strong enough to break the existing rules and even become enemies of the entire group.
Secondly, even Zhao Guanhou's resume is indeed lacking. His status in the Beiyang group is transcendent, mainly because of the identity of King Qing's son-in-law and the marriage with the eldest wife, so he is close to Yuan Weiting. In other words, Zhao Guanhou should be called the general of the Yuan Sect rather than the important minister of Beiyang. Now that everyone has decided to defeat Yuan, the identity of Yuan's general is meaningless, compared to his background in Beiyang.
After all, Zhao Guanhou joined this group after he became an army in Beiyang, and he didn't study for a few days before and after the martial arts academy, so he graduated hastily and mixed his background. Compared with the three heroes of Beiyang who laid this foundation, they are lacking in terms of body, age, and military prestige. Feng Yuzhang admitted that although with the support of Yuan Weiting and the bannermen, Zhao Guanhou's official position has always pressed him, but in the matter of running for the leader of the alliance, he is still more qualified than him to win the championship.
Although Shandong's deputies could not see it, it did not affect the general trend, and as long as the provinces were willing to support it, Shandong would not oppose it. What he is worried about now is the opinions of the provincial deputies, plus Shandong's financial resources.
Electing the leader of the alliance and electing the president are, in a sense, the same thing, and everyone compares both strength and financial resources. After all, Shandong is rich in the whole country, and if it comes up with a large amount of money for activities, it is likely to give rise to variables. Feng Yuzhang raised four divisions, although he occupied Jiangning, but the funds in his hands were not abundant, all he could do was to try to use other methods to offset the intervention of money. Since the meeting was held in Xuzhou, it was mainly to follow the path of the Emperor of the Earth.
In the hazy smoke and the laughter of the beauties, Zhang Yuan gave an unclear news that he did not object to Feng Yuzhang being the president. Anyway, in his Zhang Yuan's eyes, the position of the president is something made up by thieves and thieves, and he never recognizes it, and anyone can be it. In return, after Feng Yuzhang took office, he would expand the number of Zhang Yuan's troops by another 20 battalions and raise another batch of weapons. Now the common enemy of the two is the Guangdong Military Affairs Yuan, Sun Dixiang and his Ge Ming party.
The representative of the Military Affairs Yuan who attended the meeting as an observer was none other than Tang Yishao, who once served under Yuan Weiting, but eventually parted ways. In his bones, he was more supportive of Ge Ming's party's ideas, and Yuan Weiting's imperial robe caused Tang to hate him. Yu Zhaoqing participated in the uprising, and relying on his relatively good relations with the Yankees, he was able to serve as the Minister of Foreign Affairs in the Military Affairs Yuan.
This time, there were 20 delegates from the southwest and Guangdong, and they were extremely angry at the sight of Zhang Yuan's pomp and even the characteristics of Xuzhou. It was in order to overthrow all this that the Geming Party paid the price of blood and lives. But after the success of the republic, there are still people who continue to claim to be the former Jin relics, so what is the point of their sacrifice?
In front of the blade of the pigtailed soldiers, the delegation can only choose to turn a blind eye to everything, but the relationship between the two is destined to be-for-tat from the beginning. As soon as the meeting was convened, the contradictions between the two sides erupted at the venue.
Even in the face of a group of feather dusters with heavy troops, Tang Yishao did not have the slightest look of fear, and calmly analyzed.
"Although you have military power, it does not mean that the situation is in your favor. Since ancient times, the people's support is the key to success or failure. The will of the people is far greater than the morale of the army, and this is a fact that does not need to be specifically explained. You know the situation in the provinces. The Hunan People's Army is swarming, Beiyang is too busy to take care of itself, although there are heavy troops, how can they resist our communist army in the slightest? This is where the power of the human heart lies, if you continue to be obsessed, the next one to fall, who knows that it is not one of the princes here? Recognize the situation, make a decision early, and those who follow the will of the people will prosper, and those who go against the will of the people will die. Hong Xian is doomed, you should not let your troops and people be buried for a perverse farce! ”
The Overseers have a limited level of education, and their cultivation is far less than their own. As soon as these words came out, some people already showed a fierce look in their eyes, ready to turn their faces and scold their mothers. But Feng Yuzhang spoke first:
"Shaochuan, everyone has known each other for so many years, and when we meet and catch up, there is no need to blow your beard and stare at you at the beginning, and say big things that are scary. Everyone is a soldier who was born and died, and who is afraid of death? It's better for us not to talk big and to be reasonable. The Hongxian Empire should be abolished, and we have no dispute about this. However, after the abolition of the imperial system, I think we should carefully consider who will take over the presidency. ”
"I don't think it's a secret that since the day of the establishment of our Military Affairs Yuan, Li Huangpo has been revered as the president of the capital. When Hong Xian is canceled and the provisional constitution is restored, Li Gong should lead the country as the president, and as for the successor, the constitution should be agreed on by the provisional constitution and the election should be appropriate. ”
Zhang Yuan took over and said, "Oh? You are letting the surnamed Li be the president, so what should the current emperor's family do? ”
"Hong Xian's culprit must be punished by law and accepted by the judicial organs for a fair trial. We have drawn up a list of all the famous people on it who must go to the judicial organs to be questioned and receive a fair verdict, and the Yuan family is no exception to the culprit. In addition, Japan's civil war has cost a lot of money, and in order to restore the operation of the government, it is necessary to borrow funds from various countries to maintain government expenses. This expenditure is caused by one person, and it should not be repaid by the people of the whole country. Yuan's property is 20 million to 30 million yuan, and we demand that all Yuan's property be confiscated to repay the loans of various countries. ”
In the venue, chaos fell into chaos again. The Overseers were not interested in protecting Yuan's estate, but they were interested in protecting their own. If today, the loser of the civil war will sacrifice all of its own industry, will it be the same if it is also defeated in the future? There is no victorious general in the world, everyone thinks about others in the first half of the night, and thinks about themselves in the second half of the night. Naturally, the Overseers figured out what was at stake, and the spirit of loyalty burned and boiled, the feathers on their heads trembled, and the feather duster decided to exert its might.
Zhang Yuting sneered: "Mom, old Tang, I've seen you, when you were outside the Guan, didn't you go to the Guanwai with the old man Xu, we have seen it, but we haven't drunk together." I'll tell you the truth, how do you look like you've won? At best, you are also occupying Sichuan, right? Uncle Cao is still here, his third division still occupies eastern Sichuan, and he can't make up 20,000 guns under his hands? How many of you are there? How can you think that you can win us? If the property is confiscated, will the daughter-in-law also have to be confiscated? Whether this is the Military Affairs Yuan or Redbeard, you can understand the words first, I know how to talk to you. ”
Tang Yishao lacked a suitable way of communication with this bandit marshal, so he had to cough, "Yushuai, this disposal plan is the result of careful study by our Military Affairs Yuan, and it is not an impulsive word." This disposal plan is in the best interest of the Chinese people and the interests of the country. Yuan's sins must be punished. The property was confiscated and the children were tried, not to engage in a relationship, but to let the world know that it was not allowed to be a retrograde person to be called emperor. To make a warning for future generations is to kill a policeman for a hundred ......"
"Ball!" Zhang Yuan slapped the table violently, "Why can't you allow the emperor?" How many years has China had an emperor? How many years have there been a president? Why do you have to abolish the emperor if you have a president? The later ones blasted the first ones away? This bastard charter, Lao Tzu does not approve. Lao Tzu's brothers don't approve of it either! ”
Ni Jichong's pomp is similar to Zhang Yuan's, he is also the body of an overseer, and he is the governor's guard of honor, but he is only a braid on the back of his head. In addition, he is a descendant of the Yuan family, and his performance is more positive. It wasn't a slap on the table that he slapped, but a revolver at his waist
"Let's fight! This condition is still a bird feather? Since your Military Affairs Yuan is so majestic and can settle all the affairs of the Yuan family, then it's okay, let's come to fight a battle and see the highs and lows. If you can hit Anhui, my property surnamed Ni is also yours! ”
"General Ni, I must remind you that we are not talking about someone's private property, but about the wealth of the Chinese nation! Yuan's property is the result of his ingenious robbery, and cannot be simply regarded as his personal property. ”
"I must also remind you that whoever has money belongs to whom, and what belongs to the broad masses of the people, the Chinese nation, we do not admit this!"
Feng Yuzhang coughed twice, and came forward at the right time, "Everyone has one less to say." We all know the situation in our hearts. The two major banks, Gonghe and Communications, have closed their doors, and the co-payment of tickets has almost become waste paper. The economy has gone bankrupt, and if we continue to fight, what will we get for the military salary? Shaochuan, don't kill them all, the president is kind to all of us here, if you kill them all, we won't be able to see people. It is better for everyone to take a step back and only investigate the fault of the president alone, and not involve the family. As for property, we can make a property separation, and the part that belongs to the president can be counted as a personal donation from the president, which is distributed by the financial department. As for the family part, you always have to leave a fund for your family to live in, I don't know what Shaochuan thinks? ”
Tang Yishao never thought that his request would be fully accepted by the other party and give in to each other, which is actually a foreseeable fact. Nodding his head:
"I can report this to the Military Affairs Yuan, and the commander will make a decision. However, your army should also show its sincerity and make a formal commitment to the compensation for the Northern Expedition of the Communist Army, as well as the replacement of the provincial overseers. The preliminary estimate of the Military Affairs Yuan at the cost of the military operation in the southwest and the cost of the post-war dismissal of soldiers was 45 million yuan, which had to be settled by the northern provinces. In addition, the appointment of the overseers of the five southwestern provinces shall be issued by the Military Affairs Yuan and then confirmed by the seal of the government. The question of Hunan's overseers needs to be decided after further consultations. For the remaining northern provinces, the Overseers could not move, but new governors must be appointed to replace the Inspectors appointed by Yuan Weiting. ”
Before the words fell, Zhang Yuan had already slapped the table, "According to your statement, the Military Affairs Yuan has become the emperor?" You also said that you supported Lao Li on the front foot, why didn't you mention the president at this time? These things have to be decided, and the president is also in charge, what qualifications do outsiders have to make irresponsible remarks? Also compensation for military expenses? Daydreaming! Lao Tzu won't give out a single penny. ”
"General Zhang, I hope you can look at the current situation rationally, although on the surface, your army has a military advantage. But on a practical level, it's not the same. The banknotes issued by the two banks of Gonghe and Transportation have been equated with waste paper. With the tradition of the Beiyang Army not being paid and refusing to go into battle, how many troops can you command? And our army fought for righteousness, regardless of gains and losses, the three armies were killed, and the soldiers were of the same heart. With this cutting-edge division and enemy's twilight journey, how to calculate the victory or defeat? ”
"Fuck your P! Lao Tzu's soldiers have always listened to Lao Tzu's orders, and they can be supported regardless of whether they are paid or not. Zhang Yuan snorted coldly: "Even if Lao Tzu gives an order now, he will cut down all of you southern representatives." In the same way, my soldiers will carry out orders. ”
The atmosphere at the venue became a little awkward, and the smell of gunpowder grew stronger in the talks between the two sides. An entourage from the south, but at this time, came in from outside, shouting as he walked: "Hunan emergency electricity!" ”
"Damn, why was the Hunan emergency call sent in by the southerners?" Several of the Overseers had the same thought in their hearts, and looked at Zhang Yuan, who also had a rather unsightly face. Tang Yishao took the telegram, a smile appeared on his face, and he handed the telegram over, "General Zhang, Xuzhou is your defense area, and it is better for you to read the telegram yourself." ”
Zhang Yuan's face became more and more embarrassed, the words he knew were really limited, and it was difficult to read the telegram, so he had to hand it over to another like-minded friend, Ni Jichong. After all, the latter is better than Zhang Yuan, and he can read the telegram. Ni Jichong, nicknamed Cannon, was born with a loud voice, and he didn't use enough strength, and he could hear it clearly in the room
"Hunan Emergency Power ...... Ma Jizeng died violently, and Tang Tianxi acted as the division commander and announced the uprising before the battle. Turning to attack the Sixth Division, Zhang Zongyao's whole army retreated, and Tang Zhuxin telegraphed to declare the independence of Hunan ......"
Tang Yishao smiled: "How?" As I said, the people's will is back, this is the general trend, not one or two people can reverse it. Even Tang Tianxi, a henchman, is reversed, who else is Yuan Weiting relied on? I don't think there is any need to discuss the issue of Hunan's overseers here, and it should be up to the people of Hunan to decide for themselves. Ladies and gentlemen, if you are obsessed, you will inevitably become the second Ma Jizeng. Think again. Since Tang dared to go to Xuzhou, he was not afraid of death, if General Zhang wanted Tang's head, Yi Shao asked for an axe. ”
The faces of the overseers are difficult to look at, and the two Chen and Tang have rebelled one after another, which shows that Hong Xian's anger has been exhausted. Hunan is the north-south confucius, and Tang Zhuxin, the founder of Ge Ming, has already become the backbone of the Yuan family. Now that even he and Tang Tianxi are rebelling, the situation seems to be worse than Ge Ming in the pre-Jin era. The subordinate officer can kill the chief officer and seize the military power, so will his subordinates do the same?
The Southwest Army, which was obviously inferior in strength, relied on righteousness, but was in the upper hand. A Beiyang general who was born as a former Jin relict is a first-hand understanding of the people's righteousness and reason, and it is not an ethereal thing. When these forces come into play, the number of troops does not determine the outcome of a war. The dominant power in the venue began to transfer to the Military Affairs Yuan, and Feng Yuzhang coughed dryly
"The matter you are discussing is very wide-ranging, and it is difficult to decide for a while. I don't think it's better to adjourn the meeting for the time being and continue the conversation tomorrow. ”
The intention of the delay was obvious, and the Overseers present also decided that everyone needed to collectively negotiate a charter before they could continue negotiations with the Northern Army. But before Tang Yishao could speak, someone outside the door said coldly: "How can you delay such an important matter?" The more it drags on, the more problems there are, and it's good to finish talking today. Huafu, don't talk yet, I'll talk to them. ”
Two pigtailed soldiers raised the door curtain, dressed in a big dress, Zhao Guanhou, who was holding the marshal's scepter, stepped in, Zhang Yuan and Ni Jichong got up at the same time, and knelt down in front of Zhao Guanhou Shi Shen "Humble duty, meet the marshal!" ”
