Accompanied by Huang Jianxun and others, Hu Chuyuan walked down the train and walked all the way towards Zhang Shiying and Yang Zongli.

Yang Zongli didn't see the real Hu Chuyuan, Zhang Shiying had seen a lot, he reacted immediately, walked up quickly, and suddenly stopped in front of Hu Chuyuan and saluted: "Lord Shoufu!" ”

Hu Chuyuan didn't explain, and said to Zhang Shiying: "This time you have worked hard." ”

Zhang Shiying smiled: "What's so fortunate about this, I said my lord, you should have withdrawn my old classmate back to China." Zongli, this is what we often tell you about Lord Shousuke. ”

Yang Zongli stepped forward half a step quietly, and said with a very majestic military salute: "Yang Zongli, a graduate of the second phase of the Nanchang Military Academy and an international student at the Oakland Military Academy in the United States, returned to China to report, please accept it!" ”

Saying this, he also handed over his graduation certificate and identity documents to Hu Chuyuan very seriously.

Yes, the government has to arrange a place when you come back from studying abroad!

Hu Chuyuan took the document with a smile and said: "According to the new military regulations promulgated by Interim Premier Lu Guangquan, a student like you must be a lieutenant when he returns to China, and he must start as a platoon commander!" ”

Everyone couldn't help but laugh out loud when they heard this.

In view of Yang Zongli's current reputation and ability, he must be an overseer when he returns to China, and according to the new military regulations, he must be awarded the rank of lieutenant general and serve as the commander of the corps.

Hu Chuyuan was telling a joke, and everyone understood it, but Yang Zongli still felt a little embarrassed.

Yang Zongli didn't say anything, but replied very seriously: "I am a soldier, and everything is subject to the arrangement of the state." ”

Hu Chuyuan nodded with satisfaction and asked everyone to get on the train first, and he himself took the lead in returning to the train.

Yang Zongli's words may be worth playing, however, Hu Chuyuan does not intend to seriously think about this issue, if Yang Zongli really thinks so, it will be good!

After everyone arrived, Hu Chuyuan's special train gradually started and traveled along the track that entered the Fuguo Machinery General Factory and the 307 Factory separately.

Hu Chuyuan continued to sit in his place, invited Yang Zongli and Zhang Shiying to sit opposite him, and waited for the train to leave the station, and then he said to Yang Zongli squarely: "According to reason, it should be Lu Guangquan to accept your return to China for repatriation, but I have telegraphed with him, and he has temporarily entrusted me to deal with these matters!" ”

Yang Zongli nodded silently and said, "Understood!" ”

Hu Chuyuan also understood in his heart that Yang Zongli was a professional soldier who was deeply influenced by the American system, and even after wandering overseas for so many years, he never changed the principles he thought he must adhere to.

Such a person, good!!

He thought for a moment, and asked Yang Zongli, "Do you know why I pulled you back to China at this time?" ”

Yang Zongli shook his head slightly.

Hu Chuyuan said: "I plan to let you go to the northeast to command the overall ......!" ”

Burst.

Zhang Shiying, who was drinking herbal tea, was immediately stunned, a mouthful of tea squirted out, and Huang Jianxun next to him was also stunned in surprise.

Everyone was very surprised, Yang Zongli is indeed a rare military genius and a real famous general, but it was in the Nanyang rainforest, and Yang Zongli was also known as the tiger of the Nanyang.

Transferred from the South Seas to the Northeast...... The difference in the battlefield environment is too great, right?

Hearing this, Yang Zongli was also very surprised, he didn't expect it at all, he originally thought that Hu Chuyuan wanted him to be in charge of fighting the French on the southern front, and he was sure of this matter.

Hu Chuyuan looked at Yang Zongli coldly, and seeing that he was not scared because of this, he asked, "Do you have confidence?" ”

"Faith is always there!"

Yang Zongli replied without thinking, and said: "The battle is the same wherever it is fought, in the final analysis, it is to use the environment and the resources in your hands to find a way to restrain the opponent, and defeat the most enemies at the lowest cost." ”

Hu Chuyuan nodded slightly, and said: "I plan to let you go to the Northeast to adapt for a few months, if you really want to go to war, and then let you be in charge of the overall situation of the Northeast Front, I have prepared all the information and intelligence you need, and the information you need in the future, the Army Intelligence Bureau and the State Secrets Administration will also send it to you uninterruptedly." ”

"Hmm!"

Yang Zongli agreed very happily, but he was also thinking carefully about the variables, and after a while, he and Hu Chuyuan asked, "My lord, are you ...... Or which corps does the Prime Minister's Office plan to let fight in the northeast? ”

Hu Chuyuan said: "The Qingxu Corps, the Zhili Corps and the Northeast Corps, strictly speaking, are not the main large corps under construction in China, but they are the most adaptable to the environment of the Northeast, and the source of troops is also sufficient. I still say the same thing, practice while fighting, teach while practicing, and strengthen myself in the war. ”

Yang Zongli nodded, agreeing with this.

There has always been no regular military academy in the Nanyang area, and many officers are foreign aid forces drawn from China, including him, and he can only use the method of teaching while fighting and turning the army into a military academy to regularize his military strength.

But he also had the following, and immediately said to Hu Chuyuan: "Then I have a request, I need three deputies, from these three corps." At the same time, I will personally command the Northeast Corps...... Compared with the Zhili and Qingxu Corps, the work of the officer systematization has been very sound, and it may be difficult for me to directly command, and the Northeast Corps has always been under the control of the Manchurians before, and in the process of this major reform, there is just the opportunity for me to adjust. ”

Hu Chuyuan also nodded and said, "There is no problem, Shang Dequan of the Qingxu Corps, Feng Guozhang of the Zhili Corps...... The main officers of the Northeast Corps have always been controlled by the Manchurians of the Ronglu faction, and after this mutiny, the ten ** will be canceled. However, I placed a person in the Northeast Corps, this person is called Wang Shizhen, very smart, I once sent him to Germany for two years of further study, and then he has been installed in the Northeast Corps...... You can use him, but also be a little careful. ”

Yang Zongli thought for a moment and asked, "Isn't he a member of the Fuxing Society?" ”

Hu Chuyuan said: "I don't want to ask about the Fuxing Society for the time being, whether he is a member of the Fuxing Society, you have to ask Lu Guangquan...... Even if it is, you have to pay attention. When he was young, his family was poor, and because of Ye Zhichao's funding and promotion, he was able to get ahead, and Ye Zhichao was the general of the Huai Army who I personally supervised. ”

Yang Zongli nodded slightly and said, "I understand." ”

Northeast Corps ...... It has never been within the scope of Hu Chuyuan's interference, and under the order of Emperor Guangxu, the scale of the Northeast Corps has always been maintained at a level second only to Huguang and Jianghuai, and the equipment is also very good.

However, this corps has always been controlled by Rong Lu and the Manchus, in order to ensure the long-term control of the Manchus over the Northeast Corps, Rong Lu also organized the Fengtian Armament Academy in Fengtianfu, only recruiting Manchus and Mongols, and the upper and lower officers only use the Fengtian system.

Wang Shizhen is the only alternative in this group of people, because of Yin Chang's recommendation, he entered the Northeast Corps.

However, the Northeast itself does not have enough soldiers, mainly new immigrants from Shandong and Hebei, which has formed a special situation in which Manchus are officers and Han people are soldiers.

In order to win over the corps formed by these new immigrants, Rong Lu also specially ordered that all those who served in the Northeast Corps for six years would have the right to 30 acres of land in the Northeast Territory, and be incorporated into the Han Eight Banners, and receive the maintenance allowance of the Han Eight Banners.

Under special circumstances, Lu Guangquan still started with the lower-level non-commissioned officers, and controlled the lower-level forces of the Northeast Corps through the Fuxing Society.

Rong Lu is actually very cooperative.

Rong Lu is a smart man, as long as Hu Chuyuan is the mastermind behind all this, even if Hu Chuyuan nods and agrees, he will not be able to win, even if he has some military power in his hands.

These troops took it out to fight against Lu Guangquan, that is, it was a five-five number, and against Hu Chuyuan, it was not enough to even plug the teeth.

Rong Lu also knew that if he took advantage of the situation to get out of the way, Hu Chuyuan would probably not embarrass him, no matter what, they had also embezzled and accepted bribes together, and the money he got from Hu Chuyuan was enough for him to have food and clothing for several lifetimes.

In the process of Rong Lu being taken down, Wang Shizhen was the leader.

Wang Shizhen returned from studying in Germany, Hu Chuyuan asked him if he hated himself, Wang Shizhen said: Ye Shuai's kindness, it is difficult to repay the grass, but the state affairs are the first, and the army is defeated and dares to deceive the generals of the imperial court.

This is said very beautifully, what he really thinks, Hu Chuyuan can't say clearly.

After the train entered the 307 factory, Hu Chuyuan asked Yang Zongli and Zhang Shiying to enter the R&D base with him to see the three prototype models of armored vehicles, and let them personally participate in the drill to experience the characteristics of the armored car era.

The result was naturally a complete shock to them, and they were a little speechless for a while.

After a little gathering of thoughts, the two asked some questions to further understand the characteristics and limitations of the use of this armored vehicle.

How exactly is the mechanized corps going to work?

Hu Chuyuan is also discussing this issue with them, first of all, it must be to ensure the supply of gasoline, which is the soul of the mechanized corps, and also to ensure the use of gasoline under high and low temperature conditions; The second is the training of drivers, operators and regular maintenance, as well as the training of maintenance personnel and the supply of spare parts; Finally, there is the training of military command personnel in new operational doctrines.

Hu Chuyuan was generally prepared for these problems, but the progress of personnel training in the back was a little slower, and now he can speed up the training in various military academies and academies and set up accelerated training courses.

It was during this period of time that Lu Guangquan's policy of arranging Manchu in China became more and more tough, forcibly ordering braids to be cut in various places, canceling all additional allowances for the Manchus and the Manchu and Han Eight Banners, and large-scale civil unrest and casualties continued to occur in the process of demolishing and demolishing the Manchu city.

Lu Guangquan also ignored the international community's demand for compensation, and actually followed the "instructions" given by Hu Chuyuan, only negotiated with the church individually, and did not involve any conversation between national politicians.

For this reason, the pressure on China in the "international community" is also increasing, and the French and Russian sides have issued a shocking amount of compensation, demanding that China compensate all countries for the Boxer Movement a total of 70 million yuan, and at the same time demanding that the military and political axes must be sent down to the field and restore the "return to power" of the Manchu nobles.

Hu Chuyuan knew very well that all this was just the beginning, and the Entente would not miss such a good opportunity...... As far as Russia and Russia want to see each other, they will accept it, and I will not give up.

What would I do?

Hu Chuyuan was silently thinking and watching.

As for everything Lu Guangquan did, it was nothing more than to prove to Hu Chuyuan that he really didn't have two hearts, although this proof came a little late.

Or, Lu Guangquan didn't know at this time that Chen Shanyuan had confessed to what they had conspired to, or even if he confessed, Lu Guangquan was still willing to bear all the losses.

In this era completely controlled by Hu Chuyuan, it is actually very difficult to do something independently.

Everyone makes mistakes.

Lu Guangquan's fault was that he believed too much in Hu Chuyuan's good impression of Emperor Guangxu, and he didn't believe that Hu Chuyuan would kick out Emperor Guangxu, because Emperor Guangxu almost trusted Hu Chuyuan 100% and gave all the rights to Hu Chuyuan, but the last half of the tiger talisman symbolizing the surname.

After all, this mutiny was approved by Hu Chuyuan as Lu Guangquan expected, and finally achieved the results it should have, the Manchus lost a lot, and the others seemed to have gained nothing...... Of course, Lu Guangquan believes that everyone has obtained a more precious thing, that is, freedom.

Yes, the Chinese are free.

Perhaps, Lu Guangquan doesn't care what he loses, in his opinion, the Chinese are at least free, if Hu Chuyuan is really allowed to control, all this will have to wait at least ten years.

But he also really understood one thing, if Hu Chuyuan was to control it, maybe there wouldn't be so much trouble.

Lu Guangquan, who is in Yanjing, is aware of this.
