Chapter 717: Regiment
The greetings between the feather dusters, just like the soup before a foreigner's meal, are all necessary procedures. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ infoNo matter what you think in your heart, on the surface, everyone's performance is like a family, better than your compatriots. It was as if everyone collectively abandoned the Beiyang Alliance Leader, and it didn't happen at all.
After drinking this bowl of sincere soup, Zhao Guanhou said: "Everyone, these outsiders are gone, we can say a few words of truth." My words are half sincere, half big. Now that their people are gone, it's time for us to have a meeting and talk about ourselves. To tell you the truth, the situation is really bad. Tang Tianxi attacked and killed Ma Jizeng, I got the news in advance, and I also sent a letter to Lao Ma. It's a pity that the old horse was still too careless, didn't take precautions, and finally lost his life. Although Tang Tianxi was given the title, the Seventh Division and the Mixed Brigade were also disrupted, the troops were scattered, the organization could not be restored for a while and a half, and they basically lost their combat capability. The current situation in Hunan, on the contrary, is that the People's Army and Ge Mingjun's Zhao Hengyi Department have taken the initiative, plus Granny Tan, who has re-emerged from the mountain, I am afraid that the situation of independence has been achieved. Hunan is an important place in the north and south, and it is very unfavorable for us to fall into the hands of the Geming party. Big brother, you are in Yuezhou, you shouldn't have any possessions, right? If so, I sent a telegram to the butcher of the soup and ordered him to protect him. β
Cao Zhongkun scratched his head, "No...... It's nothing. There are two sisters-in-law of you in Yuezhou, but they are both cellar sisters, don't take it seriously, if you lose it, you will lose it, and you can't find someone to sell a relationship for this matter. The person surnamed Tang who killed Ge Ming's party at the beginning was rolling, and the feud between the two was very large, and Cheng Beiyong was also very powerful in Hunan. If he joins forces with Cheng someone, he is not afraid that others will come out to snatch the handsome seal? β
"The key is that he is not independent, Shuai Yin will be lost immediately, and he may not be able to save his life." This time, it was the once majestic Dragon King who spoke. For Tang Zhuxin's situation, he understood the most, shook his head and said:
"It's hard. When the People's Army was in trouble in Guangdong, I also wanted to fight with them. However, the people's army cut off the access to the provincial capital, and all vegetables and grain could not be transported in, and the provincial capital was about to starve to death. It's the same situation when I want to come to Tang Zhuxin. β
"Let's ignore his difficulties, let's talk about the current situation, everyone, look at the current situation, is it like the original Ge Ming Party's anti-Dajin? If you are not careful, all of us here have become the remnants of Dajin's clan, and we have also been able to live in the concession. What's more, the military affairs yuan is narrow-minded, and we may not be able to get it if we want to avoid it when the time comes. This is not just a matter for the president alone, but a matter that concerns the vital interests of all of us, and we should not take it lightly and let the Geming Party take advantage of us. β
Several overseers nodded frequently, and Feng Yuzhang's friendship with everyone was not evil. is also from Beiyang, and many of the overseers present are his robes or old departments, and they have some friendship with each other.
However, the problem that Zhao Guanhou said is related to the interests of everyone present, and no one can take it lightly. Feng Yuzhang is not blind to this level, but he is unwilling to take advantage of the Yuan family's fire, try to avoid the conflict between the north and the south, and in his words, try to downplay the threat from the south.
Zhao Guanhou's remarks combined with the proposition of the Southwest Army Zhengfu made the provincial governors suspicious, and Zhao Guanhou's words were obviously not alarmist. Now the Southern Army is not threatening Yuan Weiting alone, but the authority of everyone present, who dares to make a big difference?
Feng Yuzhang asked: "Guanshuai, what you said may be reasonable, but in the current situation, the bank has collapsed, and the banknotes in everyone's hands have become waste paper." What will happen to the brothers' salaries has not yet been settled. It is already commendable that these Qiu Ba do not make trouble, and now let them go to war, I am afraid that it will not be possible. Besides, if the war problem is not solved for a day, and the foreigners refuse to take out loans for a day, how can the government maintain it? It should be discussed, it still has to be discussed, as long as we Beiyang is clenched into a fist, the southerners will not dare to ride on our heads. β
"Hua Fu, what you said is right. We don't fight, but we have to make the southerners feel that we can go to war at any time. If this attitude is made, they will be afraid of us. If you want to be afraid, you must have power. If our provinces fight separately and their strength is weak, they will certainly be looked down upon by the people of the Military Affairs Yuan, and if we want to confront the five southwestern provinces, we must unite. After all, our provinces are far more than those in the south, and as long as we cooperate, we are not afraid that they will not bow their heads. β
Yuqing looked at Bi Zhicheng, "Bi Zhicheng, let me ask you a word, are you a flag person?" If I say a word, will you listen to it? β
Bi Zhicheng is not very bold, and when he saw Yuqing's willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, he felt a little weak in his heart, and hurriedly said: "What orders does Gege have, there is no reason for the slave to disobey." β
"Okay, I'll be your Heilongjiang, and I'll advance and retreat with Shandong. The five southwestern provinces, the land is poor and the people are widowed, but they can go north to attack me, so that we can retreat step by step. Even if I'm a woman, I can see that the reason here is that everyone is not aligned. As long as our three or five provinces work together, why are they hitting the door? People don't walk without heads, birds don't fly without heads, and there is no one in Beiyang to lead, so they become soft persimmons, which is not a word. β
Zhao Guanhou smiled and pulled Yuqing, "Gege, don't say a word." Everyone is a military officer, who still doesn't understand this truth? At that time, Beiyang had Rong'an with it, and everyone thought in one place, and worked hard to make one place, and the alliance of the five provinces in the southwest was insufficient. But now, Rong An ...... Most of them won't be able to take us. There is no new alliance leader born in Beiyang, and everyone takes care of their own family affairs, so they will naturally be knocked on the door. It's useless for you to scare Bi Dujun, even if Heilongjiang and Shandong join forces, it's just self-preservation. β
Zhang Yuting said with a smile: "Guanhou, what you said is not right, have you forgotten that there is no big brother." Our brother and the two old Maozi were together at that time, and they still have to be together. The three eastern provinces are in the same breath, and if you have something to say, I will definitely help you. β
Cao Zhongkun and Li Xiushan also expressed the same position. Zhao Guanhou nodded and said, "That's what I said." I also have a few friends, and we can form a small circle alliance to at least keep our own territory. However, I am not satisfied with this. We all belong to a group and share common interests. If you just set up a small circle of confidants, you actually only care about the small family and ignore everyone, and sooner or later you will still be bullied. If we want to turn over, we have to join hands and help each other. I have a suggestion for everyone to discuss. Now we will not mention the situation outside for the time being, but only talk about the provinces under our own control. Just like living in your own home, when everyone has a housework, they all have troubles, and their own strength may not be able to suppress it. But if there are friends around to help in the battle, there are soldiers in general, and there are salaries allocated to each other, 10,000 soldiers can be used as tens of thousands of soldiers. 10,000 yuan, you can be tens of thousands of yuan. Everyone thinks, isn't this the reason? β
Feng Yuzhang's heart moved, and Zhao Guanhou's proposal also secretly coincided with his thoughts, and he hurriedly asked, "Guanshuai, what do you mean?" β
"They have set up a military affairs institute in the five southwestern provinces, and we, the overseers, will also form our own groups. Of course, this group is not like the Military Affairs Yuan, there is no need to be so solemn, even if it is a small alliance. We all advance and retreat together, share blessings and misfortunes, and work together for the benefit of our group. In the future, let's restore the republican system, and when we elect the president, what should Sun Dixiang do if he comes out to be elected? If the Geming Party comes out to grab land in parliament, can we agree? If not, what should you do? Only when we unite and resist the GΓΆming Party can we ensure that whoever is president can ensure that our own interests are not compromised. β
At this time, Feng Yuzhang was about to nod. Although his goal is to become the next president, he himself does not dare to say that he will win. In terms of popularity, he is far inferior to Emperor Sun, as long as Sun goes out of the mountain, he will lose ten out of ten when he elects president. In the Beiyang system, Sanjie ranks, and he is just a dog. Wang Shizhen is indifferent to fame and fortune, does not like to fight, and a dragon can be ignored.
Duan Zhiquan, the Tiger of the Beiyang, is not inferior to himself in the group, and now, he has been appointed by Yuan Weiting as the General Secretary of State. Once Yuan Weiting falls, it is logical for Duan to go from the general to the president. He was only a Henan-Shaanxi patrol and Jiangsu overseer, but he was not caught.
But if this group is really established, he can rely on the identity of the group to fight against the president. After all, the president is also in charge of the provinces, which are actually controlled by the Overseers. Whoever controls so many Overseers is the uncrowned king, and the one who is inferior to the president is only one position.
This truth is also easy to understand by the feather dusters present, many people were stunned at first, and then their eyes were shining, and they began to calculate. Zhang Yuan had already patted his thigh and shouted: "What the marshal said is good, it is worthy of being the lonely minister of Lafayette's own office, and he thinks of a clever way." β
"It's nothing clever, this is the guild system that we have long had in China. There are three hundred and sixty lines, and each line has a guild and a leader. When people in the industry are bullied, they will be the first to be reasonable, and their peers will help each other, and they can also prevent newcomers from grabbing food. But we Qiu Ba have no guild protection, so we make people bully and suffer. β
Long Qiguang immediately said: "That's right, our Overseers are bullied because they don't have guilds. This organization must be established, and Long is willing to donate 10,000 yuan as a membership fee, and he will make the decision for me first. β
Zhao Guanhou is worthy of being a master of the common law, and his ability to reverse black and white and reverse right and wrong can be called perfect. In a few words, the overseers of China became a more miserable profession than the craftsmen or the petty traders. risking his life to protect the peace of the country, but he is not understood and respected, and if he is not careful, he may lose his life. Is it tolerable, or is it intolerable?
If the Overseers' legitimate authority is not protected, will anyone else do this unfortunate job in the future? In the long run, the country will not be a country.
In particular, the Military Affairs Yuan also proposed to levy Yuan's property to repay war reparations and foreign debts, which is a terrible precedent. What are the provincial overseers trying to do for the country? It's not that he has made more friends with Brother Kong Fang, and if he loses the battle, he will be fined, so is there any way for the overseers to live?
According to his vision, the new organization was called the "Federation of Provinces and Regions", but in reality, it was a union of overseers. The provincial overseers joined this organization, accepted the protection of this organization, and were also bound by the organization's regulations, advancing and retreating together, and were not allowed to dismantle and rot themselves. Its programme is:
1. Protect the property status of the gold room from loss.
2. The property and clan status of the Yuan family, with reference to the former Jin clan, must enjoy preferential treatment.
3. The property of the Overseers in each province shall be protected by law, sacred and inviolable, and shall not be seized by any group or individual for any reason.
Fourth, in the war, the general is exempted from death. Members of the Overseer Legion, who have been jointly awarded the rank of major general or above, are not allowed to be sentenced to death or imprisonment after being captured, and are only allowed to be dealt with by way of gifts or overseas inspections.
5. Urge the five southwestern provinces to end their autonomy and return to communal management.
6. Prevent civil violence groups from usurping authority and stealing artifacts.
7. The provincial overseers advance and retreat together, one person generates electricity, and all members are attached to the signature. It is not allowed to dismantle the platform internally and start disputes on its own.
8. All provinces shall strictly organize their guards and protect their localities. Arms procurement shall not be looted without permission.
The above eight paragraphs are listed and signed by everyone, and those who commit crimes will be attacked by everyone!
The implementation of the republic, naturally no longer engage in the act of beheading chickens and drinking blood wine, not to mention that the blood of the overseers is extremely precious, how can it be thrown at will. Zhang Yuan gave an order, randomly found a chicken to kill, everyone dipped in chicken blood, wrote their names on a piece of yellow silk satin, and swore to Huang Tianhou soil to prove their sincerity. The Great Overseer Guild was thus formed.
At present, there is no formal trade union for the workers in the Republic, and the Overseers have already set up a union to protect their personal and property rights from infringement.
Such a group naturally has to have a leader, Zhang Yuan suggested, this leader is called the leader of the alliance. In ancient times, in terms of the rules of the alliance of various countries, the authority of the leader of this alliance is enough to be comparable to that of the president. As for the selection issue, there are only three people at the moment, one is Duan Zhiquan in the capital, the second is Feng Yuzhang, and the third is Zhao Guanhou.
Ni Jichong is a native of Anhui and is a fellow villager with Duan Zhiquan, so he is naturally more inclined to his fellow villagers. But now that he is in Xuzhou, he must consider Zhang Yuan's braided soldiers and the ghost-headed broadsword in the hands of the braided soldiers. After thinking for a moment, he deliberately said: "In my opinion, this alliance leader has to find a kind person." Shao Xuan is very suitable, simply, you will be our alliance leader. β
Zhang Yuan turned his face blank, "Dan Chen, you are making me happy, there is a crown and a handsome, how can I have a Zhang person as the leader of this alliance." I'm here to say this, if the crown commander is not the leader of this alliance, I will immediately fall and leave, there is no me in this alliance, you play by yourself. β
Feng Yuzhang originally thought that Zhang Yuan would promote himself, but he didn't expect such a sentence to come out, and he felt bored. But at the moment, the three northeastern provinces and Jiangxi, the four provinces overseers support Zhao Guanhou, and Zhu Jiabao, the head of Zhili Province, is the first line of King Qing, and he must be the first to see Zhao Guanhou, and Wang Zichun, the overseer of Hubei, is also the old department of Zhao Guanhou, roughly calculated, he accounts for at least the support of six provinces, and Shandong is the crown of the power of the provinces, so it is impossible for him to compete with it. I was just happy to be a favor, and nodded:
"Shao Xuan is right, a non-champion is not enough to be the leader of the alliance. After all, he is our field marshal, and according to his rank, he should also be the one who should do it. β
Zhao Guanhou shook his head, "I can't say that, I started this organization to benefit everyone, not to be the leader myself." I'm the youngest, and it's not appropriate to be the leader of this alliance, so in my opinion, let's just nominate Wang Pinglao from the capital to be the leader of the alliance. If it weren't for his old man, he wouldn't be enough to take on this role. Shao Xuan, don't be confused, if you really listen to me, just do what I say. If you want to quit, I won't keep you. β
Wang Shizhen is the crown of the three heroes of Beiyang and is known as the dragon of Beiyang, but he is indifferent to fame and fortune and does not participate in the struggle. Now he has neither territory nor descendants, so he is an empty veteran. If he assumes the position of leader of the alliance, it will not affect the interests of any of the Overseers in the group. Managing the overseers in power as an alliance leader without soldiers is the perfect thing to do. Feng Yuzhang immediately echoed: "This is a great goodness, and it is most appropriate to hire a brother to be the leader of this alliance." β
When the overseers saw Zhao Guanhou speak, they immediately chimed in: "We are willing to obey the command of the hired man!" β
In the capital, Wang Shizhen sneezed a few times and wondered: "I didn't recruit anyone at home and didn't provoke anyone, who is scolding me?" Good and decent, why are you restless, someone must be calculating me! β
