"Mixed troops?"

Li Bufan and Wu Di were a little stunned, but they didn't expect Zhang Wensheng to agree to hand over the entire Anhui to them, so he only made such a request.

Zhang Wensheng said solemnly: "That's right. In the Great War of Zhiwan, our Anhui system was defeated, and Zhigong stepped down, and the Zhizhi family has been trying to completely annex our Anhui system, constantly buying people's hearts and stirring up, and Anhui is already a powder keg that may explode at any time. Originally, I have been working hard to maintain, but seeing the mixed formation of soldiers from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces in your army, the situation is stable, which makes me see hope. Only when the three provinces are mixed and integrated into one, there is no way for the direct line to buy, and it is useful to buy Zhejiang soldiers in Anhui? ”

Li Bufan nodded to show that he understood, but said suspiciously: "Why me?" ”

Zhang Wensheng smiled and said: "Southern Anhui is already in your hands, who are you looking for?" And where did the others transfer troops and mix the troops from? As long as we are in Anhui, the interests of our Anhui are there. Anhui is the foundation of my Anhui system, and Cao Kun wants to cut off the root of our Anhui system. The most important thing is that at the moment the provinces do not have access to the central government, and you have enough money to complete the integration. ”

Wu Di found that his mind was confused, didn't the history books say that the warlords during the Republic of China were selfish and wanted to be the emperor of the soil? How is it possible to give up all the territory and the army? This is simply unscientific. Today made him understand that the officialdom of the Republic of China is not so simple, and within the faction, there is both glory and loss. Getting involved in a factional struggle is like getting involved in a quagmire, and you can't stop wanting to, your colleagues help you to take the position today, and you can raise a butcher's knife against him tomorrow? What does the world think of you?

Wu Di looked at Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng, Duan Qirui looked indifferent, but Xu Shuzheng was unhappy. At the moment, he said: "It is my idea to mix the troops of these provinces, so as to avoid the appearance of warlords as much as possible, because it is impossible for an officer to lobby such a miscellaneous person to rebel with him, unlike the old-fashioned army, which is either from the same province or from the same township, and can respond to every call." ”

Xu Shuzheng sneered: "If you don't understand the language, once you encounter the enemy, you can't effectively command the battle." The north is fine, the dialects are basically similar, but there are multiple dialects in the southern province, and it is impossible to communicate and command, so how can the troops form combat effectiveness? Do you think no one has thought of this? I've wanted to do this for generations, but I've been forced to give it up. ”

Wu Di said lightly: "That's because all dynasties have implemented a policy of ignoring the people. But we are different, now it is the Republic of China, the practice is open-boiling, we can promote education, everyone has culture, all learn the official language (official language), naturally there is no barrier to communication. For the time being, garrison units can be set up in various localities as training bases for supplementary soldiers, and teachers can be invited to teach them culture. As long as there is no large-scale war, I think there should be no problem with running in for two months. ”

Xu Shuzheng sneered: "That's a good thing, according to what you say, everyone should study, how much does it cost to promote education like this?" ”

Wu Di smiled contemptuously and said, "Money is not a problem. We don't have much else, it's just a lot of money. ”

Duan Qirui, Zhang Wensheng and Xu Shuzheng all looked at Li Bufan, after all, Wu Di was just a military advisor. Li Bufan had no choice but to say: "There is not much of a problem in terms of money. Starting next year, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui provinces will invest 100 million yuan in education next year, and then it will depend on the situation. Construction of the school will begin this year and will be ready for use next year. ”

"One, one hundred million oceans!?" Duan Qirui was dumbfounded, you must know that although the Republic of China has experienced the stimulation of the world war and the economy has developed to a certain extent, it is affected by the military law melee, and the annual financial revenue has only just exceeded 500 million, and after spending in all aspects, it is basically beyond its means. The education funds of the three provinces are 100 million, which is equal to 20% of the fiscal revenue, and listening to Li Bufan's tone, it seems that it can be increased, so how rich is Li Bufan?

Wu Di said disdainfully: "I think 100 million is less, this was originally intended for Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, but now with Anhui, I think it is enough to add 50 million oceans." ”

Duan Qirui smiled bitterly: "It's a big deal." But where did the money come from? Are you not enough? ”

Li Bufan smiled and said: "This money is not from the financial revenue, we come out." ”

Duan Qirui, Zhang Wensheng and Xu Shuzheng couldn't help but be speechless for a while, and after half a sound, Duan Qirui said: "Since you are not short of money, then things are much easier." For the time being, my old face can still be a town, and I believe that there will not be much problem in reorganizing the troops in Anhui. The next step is to strengthen armaments, and we have to guard against direct attacks. ”

Li Bufan smiled and said, "It's easy to talk about armament." In the past few months, we have not done nothing, we have secretly split and imported a batch of military equipment is being installed, and thermal power plants are also preparing, I think it will be put into production in a month, and the initial production capacity may be a little lower, but soon the monthly output of guns will exceed 10,000 and ammunition will be 10 million. At the same time, I personally served as the principal of the military academy, and hired my classmates who studied in Germany and the officers who served in the army to help find German instructors and train new officers. ”

Zhang Wensheng frowned and said: "Extraordinary brother, if you are prepared not to use the officers of the old army, I am afraid that the reorganization of the army will be complicated." ”

Li Bufan smiled and said, "How can you not use it?" Of course. It's just that talented officers also need to be cultivated. Of course, if the quality is really low, it must be eliminated. If the battle is chaotic, then resolutely exterminate it. ”

Duan Qirui, Xu Shuzheng and Zhang Wensheng couldn't help but be awe-inspired.

－－－－－－－－－－－－

After the Great War of Zhiwan, the Anhui faction was defeated and Duan Qirui fell, and the Anhui people had to huddle together to keep warm. Due to various reasons, Li Bufan, despite his young age, still served as the commander-in-chief of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Anhui Allied Army, and his troops marched into Anhui in a big way to reorganize the original Anhui troops.

With the support of Duan Qirui and other bigwigs and Zhang Wensheng, the overseer of Anhui, the reorganization was quite smooth, although two small-scale "rebellions" also broke out, but they were quickly suppressed by the coalition forces and were extinguished before they could make waves.

Li Bufan only felt like he was in a dream during this time, and he had changed too much. A few months ago, he was just a company commander who thought he had no talent, but now he has become the commander-in-chief of the allied forces of the three southeastern provinces with more than 100,000 or 200,000 troops.

"Hahaha, yes, it's East China Cement Company, how can it be a loss? The commander-in-chief and I are the largest shareholders, unless the sky changes in East China, then our Anhui system is over. The Governor's Palace has decided to build a large number of schools, all of which are cement brick houses, and are you still afraid of losing money? ”

"Wu Junshi, isn't it also profitable to run a brick and tile factory?"

"Hahaha, smart, it's nice to talk to smart people"

A smile appeared at the corner of Li Bufan's mouth, he knew that Wu Di was implementing the set of "interest bundling" methods he had formulated, and began to constantly attract officials of all sizes in Anhui to jointly invest in industry, although it was a building material for the time being, but it was also an industry, wasn't it?

"Wu Enemy!" Li Bufan shouted.

"It's coming!" Wu Di quickly said goodbye to those Anhui officials, hurriedly came to Li Bufan, and said helplessly: "Ouch, my commander-in-chief, why is it so urgent?" Don't you see I'm talking big business? ”

Li Bufan smiled and said: "You fucking fell into the eyes of money, I have something to talk to you about." ”

Wu Di was surprised: "What's the matter?" ”

Li Bufan sighed: "This old man's departure is extraordinary, now the opposition is gone all of a sudden, and our plan for a purge of officialdom cannot be launched." You see, now, in the past, there was an endless stream of people who wanted to come to Anhui to find jobs, and they were annoyed. ”

Wu Di laughed and said, "It's not simple? Zhejiang and Anhui were originally from Anhui, so they could only take their time. But this Jiangsu used to be directly related, so we will arrange the officials we have cultivated in an uproar, cut down all the ineffective work, and basically clean it up. As for the other two provinces, we will reach into the townships and towns, starting with taxation and finance, and the local armed forces will first arrange for the garrison forces to take charge of the control, and then check the police system, and let them toss the rest, which is all troublesome, and we only need to get another 'Independent Commission Against Corruption' to solve it." Think about it, the money is in our hands, and the knife is also in our hands, isn't it that we want him to be round, and if we want him to be flat, he is flat? If you catch corruption [***], then withdraw. Slowly people will be inserted in, and by the way, some Anhui people who are now idle and want to seek officials will share the pressure and let them have a war of words, which is not bad. ”

Li Bufan smiled and said, "Yes, the traverser has a lot of ideas." But now there are many people who want to join the army. ”

Wu Di smiled and said, "Let him in." Anyway, the key departments are all pinched in the hands of the tigers, and the troops also have military discipline to maintain, and the garbage among them can't make money, and they can't do whatever they want, and they have to be trained half to death by military training, and if they can't hold on, they will naturally get out. If it's a talent, then welcome, after all, some military families are also from a family school, not necessarily the second ancestor of straw bags. ”

Li Bufan suddenly brightened up and said with a smile: "That's right." The rules are maintained by the tiger, and these people can't be bought. You see, do we have to marry and have children for Tiger Ben? ”

"Poof" Wu Di was almost choked to death, and looked at Li Bufan incredulously and said, "Do you really dare to think about it?" ”

Li Bufan was surprised: "Isn't it right? ”

Wu Di rolled his eyes and said, "Yes to your sister." If this is a clone, well, if that tiger can give birth to a child, then will there be a place for normal people to stand on the earth in the next life? Can a normal person still marry a wife? Look at those tiger and fierce men, they must have a figure, they must be capable and capable, they are all excellent varieties, and women are not upside down one by one. The beauties are even more amazing, all of them are like fairies, see the base assistant crushes, right? As much as you want. How else can a woman get married? ”

Li Bufan was speechless for a while, you must know that when he first saw the cutie, he really thought it was a fairy, with an impeccable figure, face and voice, and he even suspected that there were not a few such beauties in China. But if there are countless such beauties, how can other ordinary women marry? It's completely out of interest.
