Shubeizui Wei was pulling around, but he was thinking about how to maintain the situation of Guangche standing side by side. ** Starter, hand. Beat**

Wang Xuan pondered the commander-in-chief's words, but before he could figure it out, the commander-in-chief over there spoke again.

"Since Zhang Du is worthy of the arms of the Hanyang Arsenal, I can't refute his face. However, the output of the Tanzen Hanyang Arsenal is not high, and I am afraid it will be difficult to meet the needs of Zhang Dudu."

Although the commander-in-chief's words sounded a little polite, Wang Xuan knew that the commander-in-chief had already nodded, and there was only one word left in the question now: money.

The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit.

For this wise saying, Zhang Renjun is convinced, as Zhang Dudu's subordinate, Wang Xuan also enshrined this sentence as a motto, otherwise he would not have come to Wuhan, in his opinion, although the commander-in-chief is a person of the Liberation Society, but as long as it is an individual, there is no one who does not value his own interests, and now although the Liberation Society and the Alliance are discussing the merger of the party, but who knows what the idea of the general order is?

Heroes in troubled times have risen from all directions, and now it is the troubled times, Zhang Renjun wants to be the king of grass in this troubled world, doesn't the commander-in-chief want to be the king of grass?

Seeing that the commander-in-chief had relented, Wang Xuan struck while the iron was hot.

"Zhang Dudu said, this ammunition will be ordered first, as for when it will be delivered, it depends on the commander-in-chief's meaning, it will not be completed in half a year, it can be delayed until a year later, and if it cannot be delivered in a year, it can be delayed until two years later. In a word: never embarrass the Commander-in-Chief. ”

Isn't this the bamboo that was delivered to the door? Don't knock on it, don't knock it.

"Zhang Dudu is reasonable, and he deserves to be a person who reads poetry and books. But I'm not a jiān merchant either. How can the deadlines for the delivery of ordered arms be so exaggerated? If it spreads, I am afraid that it will ruin the signboard of the Hanyang Arsenal. ”

At this point, Zhao Bei picked up the teacup, glanced at Wang Xuan, and said, "I don't know how many arms Zhang Dudu plans to order from the Hanyang Arsenal?" The deposit of 500,000 oceans is not a small amount, and the Alliance is not as generous as Zhang Dudu.

Wang Xuan said, "Every year, one million oceans of arms are full of Mexican eagles. If the commander-in-chief is troublesome, it can also be exchanged for pounds. ”

"That's a lot of munitions? Do you need it? Don't burden the people

"No, no. Since the establishment of the Guangdong Army, the province has not added much to donation. ”

Although Wang Xuan said it easily, Zhao Bei knew that Guangdong's donation had been added a lot of names since the tower, but this was a matter of Zhang Renjun, the governor of the frozen capital, and it had nothing to do with Hubei Dubei, so he asked Zhang Renjun to take the silver and spend it indiscriminately. It is better to hand it over to the commander-in-chief to run the industry.

Zhao Bei put down the teacup and tapped his fingers on the coffee table. As for the "friendship" with the Alliance, it seems that another way can be found, not to mention that the Alliance can no longer afford to buy arms.

Seeing that the commander-in-chief was silent, Wang Xuan waited patiently for a moment, and saw Tan Yan's eyes. ^^ Baidu search, read the latest chapter of this book**, so he hesitated and said: "Actually, the road to talk with Zu'an, the words mentioned the arms matter, and now the Hunan patrol army is also looking around to buy arms, listen to the meaning of Zu'an, Hunan wants to buy 500,000 oceans of arms at a time." ”

"Oh?"

Zhao Bei looked at Tan Yantian, "If you have nothing to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Palace." "This despicable result is certainly justified, but is this Tan Yantian really just here for the matter of arms? If only it were that simple. The Commander-in-Chief will not receive this gentleman late at night.

Hunan. Compared with Guangdong, it is also a pool of muddy water. The momentum of the struggle is really no less than that of Guangdong. It's just that on the surface, it's not that intense.

But this is only an outsider's opinion, as an insider, Tan Yanqian has been anxious since the recent period, because the situation in Hunan is too complicated, and it is not for the Hunan people themselves to settle it.

Since Hunan announced the first and second time, the open and secret struggle between the Dianjin Association and the constitutionalists has not stopped. Yingran has not torn his face again, but in fact, it is already clear, and each has its own opinions.

The Communist Party was anxious to enter Yunnan in the south, so it stepped up the expansion of the army and sent donations and salaries, but Tian Fu did not dare to increase it. Therefore, he made up his mind on industry and commerce, and various taxes were put out one after another and put on the table of the provincial parliament, asking the parliament to approve these new tax items as soon as possible, so as to solve the military expenses required for the expansion of the army.

The practice of the Zhou is Gongjin Association has seriously damaged the interests of the Hunan constitutionalists Zhu Shen, many of whom have invested in industry and commerce, and Hunan's mines, railways, steamship companies, and even grain processing industries can poison the constitutionalists and put a brake on them. The reason why they called for a constitutional monarchy in the Qing Dynasty was in the first place. It can be said that the drive of economic interests is the fundamental reason for their devotion to the cause of constitutionalism. Now that the House of Representatives has finally been established, it is the turn of these constitutionalists to determine the tax rate by themselves, but the Communist Party does not consider the dark gods at all, once these tax items are voted on in the House of Representatives, it is to cut their own flesh with a knife, who doesn't hurt?

Therefore, the Hunan Provincial Assembly has not been established for a long time, and under the constraints of the constitutionalists and the Hunan Provincial Assembly is in the process of "preparation," and the House cannot be established, and the tax items of the Communist Party of China will be passed, and taxes cannot be levied in the name of justice. The ancient constitutionalism of Tomahunan, Wei Dijiu, had the idea of using the constitutionalism to protect his own interests.

However, the Communist Party of China did not take the provincial parliament seriously, and seeing that this bill could not be voted on for a long time, the Communist Party decided to put aside the house and solve the problem on its own.

The Hunan constitutionalists were different from the constitutionalists in other provinces in that they had a considerable number of armed concubines called the "Hunan Patrol Army." "This unit was reorganized from the former Qing Army Patrol Battalion. After the Communists recovered Changsha, they were eager to establish their dominant position in Hunan, and they also tacitly acquiesced in the control of the Constitutionalist patrol army.

But just relying on this female patrol army to fight the revolutionary coalition forces of the Communist Association is also gambling. The Hunan constitutionalists have no bottom in their hearts.

Considering that the arms of the Communist Party mainly came from the Yedie factory, the Hunan constitutionalists decided to send a representative to Wuhan to ask the Republican Army for an order to "relieve the Hunan people from fire and water." Imposing an "arms embargo" on the Kyojinkai. The Hunan Communist Association is no better than the Fujian League, and in addition to purchasing arms from Hubei, the League can also buy arms from the rì ben people, so in the eyes of the Southern Constitutionalist, as long as this arms problem is solved, the Communist Association will become a toothless tiger, and perhaps it will be able to talk to the people in a friendly manner.

This is also a way to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, and Zhang Renjun of Guangdong thought of going together, so when Wang Xuan's telegram arrived in Changsha, Tan Yanguo immediately set off and rushed to Wuhan to meet Wang Xuan. The two met with the commander-in-chief, hoping that the commander-in-chief would understand the righteousness and prove the revolutionaries' support for "industry to save the country" with practical actions.

Seeing that the commander-in-chief looked over, Tan Yange nodded and said: "Hunan has not been recovered for a long time, bandits are rampant in various places, and only the original regimental defense bureaus can no longer meet the situation, and now we can only count on the army to press the ground, but the patrol army lacks weapons and ammunition, and Hunan Province has always relied on Bei Province. After the rise of the revolutionary army, the military affairs of Hubei Province were heavy. Regardless of the supply of weapons and ammunition to Hunan Province, many of the soldiers of the patrol army still hold the breech guns used by the Hunan army in those years, and as for the cannons, in addition to some old frame guns, the rest are mountain splitting cannons and clams, which were also the equipment of the Hunan army in those years.

This time, the contemptible people came to Hubei precisely for this munitions matter

Zhao Bei leaned back on the sofa, pondered for a moment, and said hesitantly: "This is difficult to do, you want arms, Guangdong also needs arms, and the Hanyang Arsenal is now working overtime" But even the needs of the Republican Army cannot be fully met, so how to provide weapons and ammunition to you? ”

Tan Yantian hesitated for a moment and said, "If the commander-in-chief doesn't object." It seems that according to the method of Guangdong Province, we can first give Jiesheng when the arms will be built, and when we will send someone to pick up the goods. However, if the arms of the patrol army cannot reach Hunan in time, then it seems that the arms used by the revolutionary coalition forces should not reach Hunan either. The commander-in-chief did not know that now the Communist Party of China has sent donations and salaries in Hunan, which has made the people of Hunan Province angry and resentful, and after the republic, it should have put the interests of the people of the county first and appropriately disarmed, but the Communist Association has insisted on going its own way and regarded the interests of the people as nothing. Isn't this a rifle in your hand? ”

Hearing this, Zhao Bei glanced at Tan Yanjiao meaningfully.

Harriers and mussels compete with each other, and Wang people benefit.

The commander-in-chief is the fisherman who profits.

It seems that the Hunan Gongjin Association is still a bit of a dump now, at least acting as a horn sè for a harrier mussel.

In fact, after the restoration of Changsha, the reason why Zhao Zhi ordered Wu Zhenhan's republican army to withdraw to Yuezhou in northern Hunan was the idea of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight.

Carefully calculated, the Revolutionary Coalition Army of the Communist Advancement Association, the Patrol Army of the Constitutionalist faction, the Northern Hunan Revolutionary Army of Gong Chūntai, and the Fifth Division of the Republican Army have four armed forces with their own strength on the ground in Hunan. The situation in Hunan is more delicate than in Guangdong. The current governor of Hunan, Sun Wu, can be said to be dancing on four eggs, and if one is not careful, the situation in Hunan is a mess.

"Zu Xiang, the arms of the Revolutionary Coalition Army are those of the Revolutionary Coalition Army, and the arms of the Patrol Army are those of the Patrol Army. These two can't seem to be compared? ”

Although the Communist Association has been included in the list of the commander-in-chief to cross the river and demolish the bridge, but now that the situation is delicate, Zhao Bei decided to test it and feel the bottom of the other party, after all, compared with the constitutionalists, the Communist Association is also supported by him. It is not easy to be bought by Yuan Shikai, even if the commander-in-chief really wants to "change horses" on the ground in Younan, the agent who is replaced cannot be an embarrassment faction.

"The commander-in-chief is in Wuhan and seems to know everything about the situation in Hunan. Although the revolutionary coalition army is under the command of the Communist Advancement Association, the generals of the revolutionary coalition army are uneven, and there are people of all religions and nine ranks. These people are not all cadres of the Communist Association. Some people are simply local bandits, and they join the revolution only to get promoted and make a fortune, and by no means to benefit the township. Otherwise. Why is the regimental defense bureau helpless against bandits, and it is better to take "made in Hanyang" than the Mauser of the regimental defense bureau. ”

"Yes, yes. This situation is the same in Guangdong, the guns in the hands of the ten bandits are no worse than those trained by the regiments, they are all smuggled from Annam and the Philippines, they are old guns, but they are also breech loading, and these foreign guns were flooded when the Qing Dynasty did not fall in the past, and the smugglers were all foreign merchants. The government can't manage it if it wants to, and now the Qing room has fallen, but the wars and chaos in various places and the local tyrants are collecting foreign guns, and the army has the heart to press the ground, but Wu is not strong enough to do anything. ”

Counting Yantian and Wang Xuan, you and I sang a double reed, this is a false and real, miserable and miserable, the implication is that if the commander-in-chief doesn't care about this, then Hunan and Guangdong will become bandit kingdoms.

Zhao Bei sneered in his heart, but the expression on his face was worried, and when the two of them finished performing, he shook his head and sighed: "There are indeed many social scum in the revolutionary army, and these people must be cleared out of the revolutionary ranks!" Otherwise, what do we revolutionaries rely on to win the hearts and minds of the people? Those who have won the hearts of the people since ancient times have won the world. ”

Tan Yanmu and Wang Bai hurriedly made a deferential gesture and made a promise. In fact, both of them were constitutional monarchists, and they were never interested in "revolution", they were concerned about how to restrain the revolutionary forces and prevent them from continuing to encroach on the forbidden descendants of the constitutionalists, they wanted "constitutionalism" rather than "military government", and they wanted Xu Zhonghe to recommend peace, not a national republic.

The commander-in-chief is a revolutionary, and he is the "revolutionary vanguard", Tan Yanjiao and Wang Xuan are clear about this, but the two do not believe in the revolutionary party from the bottom of their hearts, whether it is to elect Yuan Shikai as president, or to deal with the "Xinzhou Incident", it can be seen that the commander-in-chief has differences with the League and the Guangfu Society. Tan Wang and Wang have both seen the world, and they will not be pounded by the "revolutionary party". The words are confusing, and they scoff at the opponent's kind of "revolutionary jīng god", they only value interests, and they also believe that the commander-in-chief also values this interest, and as long as the interests are sufficient, the commander-in-chief may not necessarily not make a deal.

Of course, the two of them only dared to hide this idea in their hearts, because they also understood that the commander-in-chief who shrugged was by no means the kind of short-sighted person, and the commander-in-chief would not give up the "great righteousness" for the sake of a little petty profit in front of him, not to mention that now the commander-in-chief is gathering the people's morale and collecting the hearts of the people, the halo of this "revolutionary vanguard" The commander-in-chief will not abandon it, as long as the commander-in-chief is still singing on this stage, then the people who run the tricks must also follow the singing, and now, Tan Yanguo and Wang Xuan are the people who follow the tricks. They are not qualified to dictate to the commander-in-chief of the singing.

As a member of the revolutionaries, I insist that most of the people in the revolution's eyes are willing to build the country well, and although the revolutionary ranks may be mixed with the dregs of society, the contribution of revolutionaries cannot be denied. For the policy of the dark gentry. I think the law should also be used as a means. Of course, we should protect them, reduce or reduce taxes, and provide a good social environment for industrial construction. When will Liangzhong be able to raise his eyebrows and no longer be harmed by inferior stretching. ”

Zhao Bei also put on a timely performance to remind these two actors that at present, the commander-in-chief is still a revolutionary, and no matter what, the commander-in-chief cannot be deliberately distinguished from the revolutionary forces in the south, and any blatant hostility to the revolutionary forces may cause hostility to the commander-in-chief.

After a few words, the commander-in-chief got back to business.

"For the request of Hunan Province and Guangdong Province to purchase arms. If we can't meet your demand for arms, we can't do overlord trading, and if these deposits can't buy arms, then I will regard them as a long-term investment brought by you, and also invest in industry and commerce. It is regarded as the shares of Hunan Province and Guangdong Province. Of course, arms deals with other powers can be delayed for a while until your arms needs are met. ”

Seeing the commander-in-chief's statement, Tan Yantian and Wang Xuan's hanging hearts were finally relieved, but they also understood in their hearts that the money was ostensibly a deposit for the purchase of arms, but in fact it was a peace of mind, as for whether the arms could be bought back into the province, it was not the key As for the beautiful words of "long-term investment", it is just to listen to it. Everyone is a smart man, and he will not shrug his head and reach out and take the money back from the commander-in-chief.

In the jargon of the Northeast Green Forest, this is called "insurance premium"

As long as the internal struggle between the two provinces does not stop. This "insurance premium" has to be paid to the commander-in-chief.

"The constitutionalists also understand the truth of Meng Mussel Xiangdu. But for the time being, they must play the horns of a good cuckoo or a mussel, and they have no choice, because only the strong can be the fisherman who makes a profit.
