Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Soup of the Royal Road

However, no matter how suspicious Bai Lide's identity is, since he is still a white-skinned foreigner, he will still receive a lot of preferential treatment here in the current Beiyang government. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info he sold a 75mm rapid-fire gun to the Beiyang Army. 60mm mortars, and a range of military supplies from sapper shovels to boots.

As long as the Beiyang government can produce it on its own, he will sell it very cheaply and win by price. If the Beiyang government can't produce it, for example, a 75mm rapid-fire gun, then I'm sorry, friends are used to kill it!

Duan Qirui has no opinion on this, anyway, foreigners are dead in his opinion. But Xu Shuzheng has a lot to say, "This, the cannon is just that, why is such a simple cannon so expensive?" ”

"Who is this?"

"Oh, this is my student and a colonel in China." Duan Qirui said quietly: "Mr. Bai, you can find him if you have any questions." ”

"Such a young colonel?" Bai Lide said in surprise, and then complained: "Duan, how many times have I said it, I don't have the surname Bai ........ Well, since the young Mr. Colonel asked, then I am obliged to answer. Although this mortar looks rudimentary, the requirements for steel are still very high. I don't think you want your cannon to explode in battle, do you? ”

Yuan Shikai waved his hand and wanted to expand the army of hundreds of thousands. But now is not the feudal era, at that time, as long as there is grain and grass, the banner is erected, and hundreds of thousands of people can be pulled out casually. In the process of transforming from modern to modern army, the army needs to be equipped with many things, and Napoleon once said that the first thing to fight a war is to have money, and the second thing is to have money.

Although Yuan Datou's finances are far better than those of the same period in history, the amount is not right. In another world, Yuan Datou is now almost driven back to his hometown by the imperial court. He had some money in his hand, but it was like running water, and it ran out in an uproar.

In addition to supplies, they are now unable to get together the minimum number of officers. Therefore, it is necessary to concentrate on making a few models first. As the saying goes, the first rich drive the later rich. However, the reality tells us that the first rich will not lead the later to become rich, they will only eat what they want to be as rich as them.

Although the generals of the Beiyang Department do not know the story of getting rich first and then getting rich, they also know that power and money are maintained by the army. But now the old man (Yuan Shikai) has a high prestige, and there is nothing wrong with his body, unless they want to rebel, they can only stare dryly.

However, the development of things often takes a dramatic turn, and Yuan Keding, the eldest son who was given high hopes by Yuan Shikai, soon exposed his side as a gentleman. He stayed in the model division for less than ten days, and then he threw everything to Cai Yi, and then he went to play Xianggong in the Bada Hutong and smoked a big cigarette.

This..... This...... Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang, Lu Jianzhang, Cao Kun and others who heard the news were all dumbfounded. It's not that they don't like alcoholic beauties, such as Cao Kun is lustful, but these people at least know what to do when and when.

Now the old man clearly wants the eldest son to accumulate qualifications so that he can take over in the future. But if you do this, who will obey you? It was Cai Ye who compiled the new infantry drill code, it was Cai Ye who trained the officers, and it was Cai Ye who promoted them.

Even after Wang Shizhen heard about this, he shook his head. However, the old man is now in the prime of spring and autumn, and it is not the time to think about the successor, so he will flatten the group first.

Yuan Keding was having a lot of fun, since he was the biggest boss in advanced China, how many fewer people came to hold stinky feet. When he was swallowing clouds and fog on the girl's father-in-law's bed, someone came to give him money in an endless stream. There are spies from all sides, some who want to hug Yuan Gongzi's thigh, such as a bearded green battalion officer in the northeast, and many Beiyang cadres sent people to send him money. These people all think in their dark hearts, you'd better smoke a lot and die.

Yuan Shikai didn't know that his son could do such a thing, and he was in the hall to meet the famous owner of the ice room, that is, Liang Qichao. Liang Qichao came to be with Kang Youwei, he studied under Kang Youwei, but the Wuxu change failed, and he also ran abroad.

Later, the constitutionalists ......., hey, there were no constitutionalists at all in this era, and the Qing Dynasty was already finished. However, Liang Qichao can represent part of the landlord and squire class, and Yuan Shikai's Beiyang Army is a combination of landlord squires and military forces, so he made great efforts to recruit this Liang talent.

In addition to the above reasons, Yuan Shikai also found time in his busy schedule to receive Liang Qichao, because he had an amazing disciple - Cai Yi - that is, the one who is now presiding over the formation of the model master with Yuan Keding.

Yuan Shikai handed a piece of Chen to Liang Qichao, and said with a smile: "Songpo is really a genius in the world, and he has taken care of things in such a short period of time. Brother Zhuoru, you taught a good student. ”

Liang Qichao took Tiao Chen over and took a look, only the article was full of firepower configuration, logistics regulations and the like, he couldn't understand these, so he casually put Tiao Chen on the table, and then said: "Duke Yuan, now that the Qing family is no longer there, you have the hope of the world, you must open the Congress as soon as possible to settle people's hearts!" ”

The smile on Yuan Shikai's face froze, and then he covered up the past, and he said bitterly: "Zhuoru, it's not that I don't want to open the Congress, it's just that the situation is like today...... As you know, the Southern Alliance has been clamoring to move the capital, and they may not be willing to come to Beijing to participate. ”

Liang Qichao glanced at Yuan Shikai and said lightly: "The general trend of the world, Shunchang is rebellious." As long as Yuan Gong sets his name as soon as possible, it is the desire of the people. Even if there are some people who jump off the beam, they have to bow their heads under such a general trend. ”

Yuan Shikai was annoyed in his heart, when he used to read "Historical Records", he was quite contemptuous of King Qin's dislike of the royal road and his preference for domineering behavior, thinking that if he changed places, he would be able to make immortal achievements. Today, he knows that if he doesn't speculate, it really makes people feel bored.

He was obviously talking about military affairs, but Liang Qichao was involved in politics for him. Damn, no wonder this guy was kicked abroad back then, and he also wants to kick Liang Qichao out now. (To be continued.) )
