"Dashuai, do you want it?" Sun Liechen seemed to realize something, and hurriedly asked. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Yang Xingguo did not hide it, and replied directly: "Of course I exchanged them for silver!" ”

"Li Zhilong's speed of taking the capital was too fast, and the imperial court did not resist desperately, and surrendered directly to us at the critical moment. Originally, he planned to kill a few royal relatives and make some income. As a result, the money was not obtained, and tens of thousands of taels were spent to compensate the people in the city who suffered because of the war, which can be said to be more than worth the loss! ”

"If we can't get the money from other means, even if we take Gyeonggi, we will lose a lot of money!"

"When the imperial court formed the forbidden army, in order to ensure that the forbidden army was controlled in its hands, almost all the officers in the forbidden army were relatives of the emperor. Now that they are captives, they must have the consciousness of being captives. Either give us ten years of free labor, or give us ten years of free labor! ”

"Gao, Marshal, your idea is too high, prisoners do free coolies, this has always been the rule in our national defense army, even if you say it, others have nothing to say!" Sun Liechen, who immediately figured it all out, said with admiration.

"Those royal relatives, even if they enter the army, their pampered character has not changed, let them do ten years of coolies, and it is better to kill them. I'm sure that as long as we propose that we can buy freedom with silver, those royal relatives will rush to give us silver! ”

"As far as I know, in Beijing, except for a handful of imperial relatives who can't get silver, the other imperial relatives are rich! Dashuai, what kind of price are you going to offer! ”

Yang Xingguo thought about it and replied: "Ordinary sentry commander, one hundred taels of silver buys one year of freedom." If you want to leave the prisoner camp directly, then pay a lump sum of 1,000 taels of silver! ”

"The camp manager brings five hundred taels of silver to buy one year's freedom, the standard system has one thousand taels of silver to buy one year of freedom, the co-commander has five thousand taels of silver to buy one year of freedom, and the town commander has ten thousand taels of silver for one year!"

"Other officers and deputies correspond according to their original ranks and sentry commanders, pipe bands, standard systems, commands, and commanders!"

For the imperial relatives in captivity, as long as they can be given freedom, no matter how much money they spend.

And the price offered by Yang Xingguo is not high, and it is completely within their affordability.

As a result, less than 10 days after the news was released, more than 1,000 officers above the rank of sentry commander left.

And those who stayed were basically grassroots officers such as sentry commanders and battalion management bands. What's more, these grassroots officers are all capable, and almost none of them have been corrupted in the forbidden army!

Such a group of talents, if used well, is definitely not measurable by silver.

As a result, Yang Xingguo once again used his tricks to recruit talents, and let them all join the national defense army.

"Dashuai, more than two hundred low-level officers, if you use it well, you can form four main divisions." With so many experienced grassroots officers in his hands all of a sudden, Sun Liechen, as the chief of staff of the National Defense Forces, must be the happiest.

"In addition, of the nearly 70,000 prisoners in the prisoner camps outside the city, more than 50,000 of them are willing to join our defense forces and continue to serve as soldiers. After our assessment, more than 49,000 of the more than 50,000 people finally met our recruitment requirements! ”

Although Sun Liechen did not say it explicitly, Yang Xingguo still saw in his face that he wanted to further expand the national defense force.

Yang Xingguo did not hide it, and replied without hesitation: "There are soldiers, and there are grassroots officers, as long as they are accompanied by some senior officers, it is the strength of nearly five main divisions." ”

"Shuai, you also thought of expanding the army!" Sun Liechen hurriedly said.

"Now that there is one more Gyeonggi, maybe there will be two more provinces in the south at any time, with the current size of the National Defense Force, it will definitely not be able to hold so many provinces, not to mention that we are surrounded by strong enemies, and we must ensure that we have enough mobile forces in our hands to deal with possible emergencies!" Yang Xingguo directly said what he thought to Sun Liechen!

Sun Liechen immediately agreed: "Dashuai, I completely agree with your point of view!" I don't know if you plan to expand directly on the basis of the four armies or re-form a main army! ”

Yang Xingguo shook his head and replied: "There are too many senior officers needed to rebuild a main army, and we don't have so many candidates. Especially the army commander and the chief of staff of the Luo army, now the corps-level officers of our four armies are all hard-headed, not to mention others! ”

"In order not to affect the combat effectiveness of the four armies, I decided to add an independent division to each main army, so that each army will have four divisions of troops, which can completely deal with emergencies that may arise in the defense area!"

"As for the extra recruits, all of them will be handed over to the commander of the guard division, and in addition, the four main forces will each have to transfer a main force regiment to the guard division. I intend to form a guard corps based on the Guard Division, which will be responsible for the defense of Gyeonggi.

Sun Liechen's eyes lit up, and he shouted very happily: "Commander, you have a good method, with the guard army, the first army and the fourth army can be completely liberated, and they will be specially designed to deal with the Beiyang army entrenched in the Central Plains!" ”

When Sun Liechen began to make a plan for the expansion of the troops, Zhou Qiangsheng, commander of the Second Army, and nearly 40,000 main forces under his command all boarded ships at Dalian Military Port, and then under the escort of the navy, they slaughtered in a mighty way towards Guangdong.

At this time, the military administration of Guangdong was still in charge of the Liangguang Governor's Office.

After the abdication of the little emperor, the first military government established in China was Hubei.

The Governor of Liangguang was very clever and knew that the Great Qing Dynasty was over. As a result, as soon as the Hubei Military Government was established, the Liangguang Governor's Office became the Liangguang Military Government, and the Governor became the commander of the military government.

Because of the territory of the two provinces, especially Guangdong Province, with the advantage of the treaty port, the scale of commerce is particularly large. Therefore, the tax revenue of Liangguang is also very high.

For a local emperor, especially a discerning earth emperor, the first thought after having silver in his hand is to expand the army.

Only with an army in hand can you guarantee your current status.

Therefore, in a short period of two years, the governor of Liangguang not only reorganized all the garrison troops into the new army of the two towns, but also expanded the new army of the two towns into one town.

Now, after the vigorous development of the Governor of Liangguang and the establishment of the military government, the size of the new army in Liangguang has reached three main divisions, three mixed brigades, and one heavy artillery regiment.

Even the Guangdong Naval Division, which the imperial court did not pay much attention to, also added a lot of offshore gunboats in two years, and then set up a navy department under the military government to command all the navies in the two Guangzhou.

As soon as the Beiyang Army moved south, the military government realized that Yuan Shikai intended to attack a small warlord like himself.

Although it was very worried about the Beiyang Army's attack on Liangguang, the junta was not afraid.

Guangdong and Guangxi are mountainous, and if the Beiyang Army wants to fight in, it will definitely have to attack the fortresses one by one.

As long as you arrange heavy troops by yourself, use these checkpoints and fortresses to consume some more Beiyang troops. Yuan Shikai, who has a limited number of troops, will definitely let Liangguang go.

Therefore, the main force of the three divisions, the junta directly drew two divisions to the north to block the Beiyang Army!
