The main purpose of Zhao Guanhou's visit to the barracks this time was to protect his roots. The basic plate of the pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info is the fifth town and the second mixed association, as long as there are no problems with the troops, it will be difficult to shake him in the court. Among the troops, the fifth town is the most important, as long as the fifth town is controlled in their hands, the second mixed association will definitely not oppose the water, or dare not oppose the water.

The fifth town still adopts the method of paying salaries at small stations, and Zhao Guanhou personally distributes the salaries to every soldier, and there is no space for intermediate generals to handle them. This also ensures that the soldier will be convinced that his food and clothing parents are military commanders, and the object of loyalty will not be transferred.

Moreover, in Reinstein's military training system, it is also imperceptibly propagating loyalty to the commander-in-chief, and the education of the Shandong army is also an internal internal circulation.

Unlike the popular practice in various places nowadays to encourage soldiers to read books and newspapers and learn Taixi thoughts, the Fifth Town and the Second Mixed Association have set up camp schools in the army to teach soldiers knowledge and culture. However, in ideological education, the emphasis is on the word loyalty and righteousness, and on repaying gratitude and loyalty. The object of a soldier's allegiance is actually his own military commander, the person who pays his military salary.

In addition, the construction of Shandong has also benefited the local people of Shandong, and the development of the economy and the construction of water conservancy have made people realize that Shandong is currently developing more and more for the better under the leadership of the governor. This point is also more conducive to propaganda and momentum building within the troops.

Zhao Guanhou has no taboos in talking with Reinstein, and analyzes his situation very thoroughly, "In fact, this time the court will not spare me. Like a frog boiled in warm water, sooner or later they will take away all my authority, and they will be willing. So, Your Excellency, you now have to choose whether to continue as my military advisor or to take your mercenary regiment in search of a more promising employer. ”

Ryanstein pondered for a while with a serious face, "In Tessie, my subordinates and I can find jobs that pay about the same amount." However, what they gave us was only a desperate and death-defying task, and they would not let us serve as military instructors in the army, and there was actually no future for personal development. In the past two years, more than 20% of my people have formed families with your women and settled in Shandong, which is already their hometown. As for me, my ideals and ambitions can't be accomplished by a bunch of idiot clansmen, so your choice should be very clear. As far as our court is concerned, your court has no prestige to speak of, and we have never pledged allegiance to them, so there is no need to betray. Mercenaries are always loyal to their employers, and since you are the one who pays us, it is clear who we are loyal to. If anyone wants to take your military power, then he must convince me, otherwise, I am afraid I will not be able to guarantee his safety. ”

"With your words, I am relieved. We Chinese talk about friendship, copper money and silver make the end, friends friendship is not enough. Since we are friends, we should help each other. Now, I really need you to help me come up with a plan. A plan to lure out rats and ensure that the furniture is not destroyed. ”

The two talked in the barracks at noon, and Zhao Guanhou summoned a group of his old troops and officers who had been drawn up by one hand, and everyone was dissatisfied with the fact that the imperial court did not give Shandong a reward this time. Between the words, there is a taste of not taking Chengfeng and others seriously. As soon as Zhao Guanhou provoked, someone threw his hat on the table, "**** Niang, the commander of the fifth town, we will recognize the handsome one." We won't listen to anyone else who will be this official! ”

"Nonsense, you and I are both officials of the imperial court, who would dare to resist the decree?"

"Resist the will, why don't you dare? The imperial court is now also talking about constitutionalism, and since it is said to be constitutional, then we can't say what we listen to, we have to speak. Whoever says it right, let's listen to whomever it is, otherwise the word constitution will not become a lie? Brethren, do you think so? ”

"That's right, that's the case, since the court has a constitution, all of us have the right to speak. If you want to change the officers of our Fifth Town, you have to be approved by our own people in Fifth Town, and if you come to any person, you want to give orders in Fifth Town, but we will not approve it. ”

Zhao Guanhou did not say whether he was committal, and asked about Jia Maoqing and a group of new international students, and under the secret conversation, a new piece of information surfaced.

"Jia Maoqing organized a youth reading club in the army and developed more than 30 people, all of whom were young officers, probably at the level of shed head and platoon leader, among which there were two sentry officers. They get together and sneakily say that they are reading, and who knows what books they read. If you want to talk about reading, the marshal runs a library, there are so many books in it, it's not enough for them to read, and they use it for a while, I look here, and there is a problem. ”

"Isn't it? In his association, the evil spirit is very big, and even Guan Gong refuses to worship, is this like a word? His personal team, if he has nothing to do, he shouts that there is a cape, occupies Guangzhou, and peeps at Qiangui; Prussia, Jiaozhou Territory, Tiger Eyes East. Isn't this anti-book, his team took the lead in reading anti-books, and they were shouting everywhere, which I don't see as a good sign. ”

"That guy has been raising money from officers and soldiers recently, saying that he is helping everyone do business."

Zhao Guanhou originally listened to everyone talking about Jia Maoqing, but did not speak, and then he became interested in "fundraising?" In our fifth town, when will there be a rule for the official to take back the military salary that has been paid? ”

"That's it. He did this, it was simply a violation of the rules of our Fifth Town, even those banner people, in the Fifth Town, did not dare to play the set of borrowing military salaries. However, he raised funds in his association, paid military salaries, and collected them from soldiers. Fortunately, there was no apportionment, and three points of usury were allowed, so there was no big mess, and we didn't talk nonsense. Since we are talking about it today, we have to say a word. Many of the brothers below were afraid that he was an assistant and that if they didn't borrow it, they would be in trouble, so they had to listen to him, but they were actually extremely dissatisfied in their hearts, and they said a lot of ugly things behind their backs. ”

Zhao Guanhou closed his eyes and thought for a while, and said to everyone: "What you said, I know it in my heart, everyone go back to their own team first, bring the soldiers well, and don't care about the rest." The gendarmes paid attention to the guns and ammunition of the 10th Association, and did not allow them to get their guns and weapons outside. ”

"Don't worry, the inspection of weapons and the strict prevention of the outflow of weapons are the work of foreign teachers and trainees. They are iron-faced and selfless, they don't show affection at all, and no matter who they are, they won't get their weapons out. ”

Since the weapon couldn't be used, Zhao Guanhou didn't believe that Jia Maoqing could conjure up any tricks, and chatted with everyone for a while, and after the meeting ended, the two brothers Yuan Baoshan and Yuan Baohe were left.

These two brothers married Jiang Fengzhi's two sisters, and their lives were very prosperous, and now they have their own flesh and blood. Compared with when he was a personal soldier under Yuan Weiting, life is much better.

Both of them are honest people, they have their own limitations, and they have never gone to school. Although he studied in the army academy, his grades were also very ordinary. Even in Yuan Weiting's team, relying on the clan relationship of the villagers, at most he was a junior officer in the pro-soldier team.

Now that the two of them are in the fifth town, they have reached the standard, and compared to their peers, they can be said to be prosperous. The two of them knew that this was the cultivation of the chief, not the ability to do it. It is not a problem to be grateful to Zhao Guanhou, and there is no doubt about his loyalty.

Zhao Guanhou called the two to his side, "How are the days at home?" If you have any difficulties, just say it, don't be embarrassed. A few days ago, the two sisters-in-law were also looking for Fengzhi to play cards, the three of them are sisters with red lights, and they are close, so they should move around more. Seeing that in the New Year, I was bored to celebrate the New Year, and the two of them had no relatives, so they simply went to my house together to celebrate the New Year, and there were many people. ”

Yuan Baoshan shook his head again and again, "That's not possible, then there will be no rules." We're at home ourselves, and we're going to deal with it. ”

"How can you deal with the Chinese New Year? The two sisters-in-law have endured a lot of hardships, and if they follow you, they just want to enjoy happiness, how can they deal with it. I turned around and said to the grain station, you two, each go to the grain station to bring 1,000 taels of silver, especially for the New Year. ”

Yuan Baohe was a little at a loss: "This ...... How can this make the two of us, how can we get so much money. Let others know, it's amazing. ”

"So don't let anyone know." Zhao Guanhou patted the shoulders of the two, "Two brothers, we came out of the palace guard's pro-soldier team together, and the relationship is the most recent." I want to find an opportunity to invite all the people from the old cavalry shed out and have a meal together. When I was working in a shed, and then I came to the gun standard, everyone came to support me. A few people have been lost in the past few years, and the remaining old people are even more precious. If you have the opportunity, you should get together more, don't think that if I am promoted, I will forget my old friend, this is nothing. This Shandong, this fifth town, as long as I have the final say, everyone will not suffer. ”

Yuan Baoshan knew that he was not talented, and if he changed to a commander, not only could he not keep the position of his cronies, but he was also incompetent. His face was swollen and red, "handsome...... Stupid and can't speak. There is one sentence that I dare to say only here. We think you are handsome, and no one else recognizes you. If the imperial court wants to change the governor of Shandong, we can't control it. I want to change the system for the fifth town, but I don't agree to be the first one! If I had to change it, I would have to talk to my gun first. ”

Yuan Baohe also said: "That's right! The incident of Ma Xinyi back then, the court should not have forgotten it. As long as there are so many commanders, they will not dare to send people indiscriminately and mess with our military morale! ”

Zhao Guanhou waved his hand: "What is this called?" Seeing that the New Year is coming, how can I talk about killing people. Things haven't come to this point yet, I'll go to mediate in Beijing, it's a big deal to break a sum of money, I'm a gangster myself, it's a big deal to go back to Jinmen, and then I will not starve to death. However, it has not been easy for you to follow me for the past few years, and you must not let the brothers suffer. No matter what the future holds, I will never let everyone suffer with me. Now, there is a matter related to our group, and I want you two brothers to keep an eye on it, and this matter must be kept secret and not told to others......"

When the order was over, and there was still only one person left in the barracks, a smile appeared on his face, "Commander, I smell a smell of conspiracy from your arrangement. ”

"I'm more used to calling it wisdom, but in fact, I prefer this kind of war to the battle on the battlefield, where you can't see the smoke of gunpowder. The Fifth Town is mine, and so is the Second Mixed Association. Whether it is the imperial court, or the Ge Ming party, or anything else, no matter how many justifiable excuses they have, they can't take what belongs to me from my hands. This is true for the fifth town, and it is also true for Shandong. Whoever wants to take something has to pay a price, and if they want to give it a try, I'll let them know what the price will be...... Terrible. ”

Zhao Guanhou sneered and came to the map of Shandong hanging on the wall. This is a high-proportion military map of Shandong drawn by him after he took several months to travel all over Shandong after serving as the governor of Shandong. In the entire Dajin provinces, there is such a detailed military map, and I am afraid that there is only one Shandong.

He waved his hand in the direction of Zaozhuang, "After the year, I will carry out a normal adjustment in Shandong." The first standard of cavalry will be moved to the Zaozhuang area. That was the place where they had been active in the past, and they were familiar with both people and land, and at the same time, the original troops in Jinan were mobilized. Dude, I think it's time for a massive training session for our men. ”

"I couldn't agree more." Ryanstein looked at the map, understood, and drew it with his hand. "According to your transfer, the surrounding area of Jinan will be controlled by your troops, and the city will be left to Jia Maoqing. It seems that you are going to give him a stage. ”

"Of course, if he likes acting so much, why can't I fulfill him? He can act as he wants, and if he wants Ge Ming, I'll give him a chance. What point it will come to in the future depends on his own ability. ”

Since returning to the mansion from the military camp, the weather has reached the evening, and as soon as Zhao Guanhou entered the door, he heard Jingci shouting there, "Mother Yang hug, Mother Yang hug me." ”

There is only one Jane Sen in the family who can be called a foreign mother by Jingci, and as for the idle flowers in the Shandong Women's School, they are not qualified to be called mothers. Zhao Guanhou smiled and pushed the door in, "Honey, when did you come back, why didn't you send me a telegram?" ”

Jenson was playing with Jingci with a Tessie music box, and when he saw him return, he put down Jingci and generously opened his arms. "My dear, I want to surprise you, this surprise, you are very welcome, right? God willing, all the work was done before, and this Spring Festival, I can stay in Jinan again. I have to admit that I am more and more fond of the New Year in your country. ”

"That's because you like the warmth of the family, come, let me see, have you lost weight."

Zhao Guanhou held Jian Sen's face and looked at it carefully, Jian Senrao was always bold, and his face was slightly red, "Respectful...... Still here. ”

Jing Ci didn't understand what was going on, so she ran over with her hands open, "Dad, kiss me, kiss me first." He was carried on his shoulders by Zhao Guanhou and giggled: "Dad, my mother said that she would give me a stroller, what is a stroller?" ”

"When you get back and dad takes you to play, you'll know what it is, Chunhong, send the young master to Feng Xina."

The child was sent away, there were only two people left in the room, Zhao Guanhou hugged Jensen for the second time, kissed her all the way on the face and neck, Jensen smiled and said, "You don't care, how is my business doing?" It's an incalculable amount of wealth, don't you worry about change? ”

"Although I care about that business very much, compared to you, it is just a business, it is best to succeed, and I don't care if it is not successful. As long as you are well, it is my greatest treasure. ”

Jensen's smile was even stronger, and he took the initiative to put Zhao Guanhou's hand into his clothes. "My dear, I want to congratulate you, you will become a new rich man among the Chinese, and your wealth will be immeasurable."

"No, it's our wealth, which will be immeasurable. Everything I have is yours, just as everything you have is mine. No wonder you want to give the rabbit a stroller, with this patent, we can buy a few bicycle processing factories, as many bicycles as we want. It won't be long before we become the richest couple in the world. (To be continued.) )
