Chapter 81: To Each His Own Way (1)

High up at the far end of the pier, Fang Jianxiong stood on horseback, looking at the dock with a telescope in his hand. This kind of voyeurism is really boring, compared to peeping into the girls' dormitory with a copycat version of a Russian-made telescope on campus back then, it is really bland.

The two negotiators, Yang Shiqi, understood that they were originally helping Tang Shaoyi negotiate with the Southern Revolutionary Party in Shanghai. Zhang Jian followed, and it was a bit of a statement.

Sun Baoqi privately talked to Fang Jianxiong about the relationship between Zhang Jian and Yuan Shikai, and the two met Wu Changqing in the army, and Zhang Jian also instructed Yuan Shikai to write eight strands. Later, Zhang Qian scolded Yuan Shikai and wrote a "Letter to Yuan Weiting Sima Breaking Friendship" with more than 3,000 words. After counting Yuan Shikai down and ridiculing Yuan Shikai for his promotion with his low position, and he did not change, his title also became teacher, sir, a certain Weng, and a certain brother.

Yuan Shikai didn't react after being scolded, and the two broke off their friendship for 20 years.

This past incident, in fact, is nothing, if you scold, you will scold, and it doesn't matter if you break off friendship. Yuan Shikai did not retaliate, and he did not make any unfavorable words and deeds against Zhang Qian in the past 20 years.

But later, the two actually got in close contact, and it was Zhang Qian who took the initiative to find Yuan Shikai. In 1904, when the Qing government was preparing for the constitution, Zhang Qian took the initiative to write a letter to Yuan Shikai, hoping that he could raise the banner of the constitution. In 1906, the Qing government's new policy carried out control reforms, and Yuan Shikai's power shrank and suffered a great setback. Zhang Qian sent another letter of encouragement, saying: The blessing of hundreds of millions of sects and the name of 400 trillion people is a matter of public interest. and took the initiative to mention the old things, laughing at himself for being a child. "It's not enough!"

In Sun Baoqi's words: "Zhang Jizhi's eyes are poisonous, although Yuan Xiangcheng's power is damaged, but the Beiyang New Army is the old department of Xiangcheng. Although Ji Zhiren is in the opposition, he is famous for his industry. In fact, his heart is in the temple, and he wants to use the power of the people to interfere in politics. Although the Qing court weakened Yuan Xiangcheng, it did not move its foundation. With Zhang Jizhi's eyes, it is not difficult to see that Xiang Cheng was just a dragon trapped shoal at that time. ”

It's hard to say whether Yuan Shikai is generous. In the face of Zhang Qian's praise, he immediately counter-touted: Dreaming of learning and talent, there is nothing to give. Presided over the civil constitutional movement. It is more: a heroic leader, advocating group morality, and is the mother of public opinion.

Before Yuan Shikai left the mountain in 1911. Zhang Qian was on the way to Beijing, went to Zhangde in person, talked with Yuan Shikai late at night, and dispersed at 3 o'clock in the morning. Aftermath note: At five o'clock in the afternoon, I went to Zhangde, visited the comfort pavilion and Huanshang Village, and when I talked about it, I felt that his intention was to see the great progress 28 years ago, and it was far above the princes.

Sun Baoqi summed up these things: "Yuan and Zhang Zhihe, once and for all. Echo each other, everyone is happy! ”

Fang Jianxiong is a layman, so he said a common saying: the ass determines the head! One has the ambition of the world, and the other pins his political beliefs on the other party. When it comes to being ugly, it's called hooking up, and it's nice to say. It's called a hit-and-shoot.

Yang Shiqi was in a complicated mood, and the Shanghai peace conference was temporarily stopped by Yuan Shikai, the reason is very simple, Fang Jianxiong is blind if he doesn't buy it. Fortunately, after Fang Jianxiong captured Wusheng Pass, he took the initiative to propose peace talks. He took the initiative on the battlefield, but he took the initiative to propose peace talks. Yuan Shikai was extremely staff judged. It should be Sun Baoqi, the teacher, who influenced Fang Jianxiong.

There is no such thing as regret medicine in the world, if there is, Yuan Shikai must buy it and eat it. When Sun Baoqi came back from Germany with a letter, Yuan Shikai just took a look, and he didn't take the raw melon and eggs surnamed Fang mentioned in the letter seriously. Yuan Shikai, who has tens of thousands of heavy soldiers, is very busy, how can he have time to care about these little things? If Fang Jianxiong came to the door in person, for the sake of his brother's face, he would be able to give a new military management belt to do it, even if it would be very face-saving.

Unexpectedly, a few years later, this raw melon egg became the number one enemy of the Beiyang Army.

On the battlefield, it looked like the victory and defeat were not scored, but in fact, the Beiyang Army was already in defeat. Duan Qirui fell for Fang Jianxiong's plan to hide from the sky and cross the sea, and Xiaogan's 20,000 Beiyang elite communications were all in trouble. It is said that the Anhui army dug a ravine outside Xiaogan City, and the barbed wire fence was pulled one after another. Yang Shiqi didn't go to see it with his own eyes, anyway, insiders said that if you don't die 350,000 people, don't want to break out of the encirclement. According to the information from the Beiyang military, it is still possible to take advantage of the defensive war against the Anhui army, and it is bound to suffer heavy casualties if it takes the initiative to attack.

Feng Guozhang also wrote to Yuan Shikai, proposing to study and study the various new weapons and combat methods of the Anhui army. As the saying goes, I didn't know it hurt until I was beaten, and Duan Qirui, who returned to the capital, also put forward a similar point of view. Among them, it is emphasized that the Beiyang Army is lagging behind in equipment. Due to local financial problems, the equipment of the new army and patrol battalions in the provinces is generally very poor, there are basically no machine guns, and the artillery is all small-caliber. The Beiyang Army's usual advantage was that it was equipped with a large number of artillery, Makqin, and Haqi Keith machine guns.

When fighting the Hubei New Army, the Beiyang Army had an obvious advantage, and when it encountered the Anhui Revolutionary Army, the trend reversed.

The matter of peace talks was handed over to Sun Baoqi, an old Jianghu, to deal with, and Fang Jianxiong had other important things to do. The first stop was to visit the student death squad stationed near the headquarters, and there was no accident, more than ninety percent of the students were willing to go to Wuhu to study at the Army University. The principal is naturally Fang Jianxiong, the "No. 1 military strategist in China today" blown out in the newspaper, and the executive principal Jiang Fangzhen is also very awesome, and the first place in the third issue of the Japanese Lu Shi went to Germany for further study and returned. It is said that 80% of the teachers at the school are Germans.

When Fang Jianxiong appeared, the student soldier death squad was in military class. That's right, it's a military class, and it's the German Jensen who lectures. The content is a group of four teams of Fang Jianxiong's copycat version, even in Wuhan, Fang Jianxiong doesn't want to waste time, so he teaches in advance, and when the weather is good, he sets up a table in the courtyard and sets up a blackboard, and listens to those who are willing to listen. Fang Jianxiong's appearance immediately caused a commotion among the students, who raised their eyes to look at this young commander, who was not much older than them.

Just as the class had already ended, Jensen said in strange Chinese: "Welcome Commander Fang to give a lecture to everyone." ”

Fang Jianxiong was very satisfied that Jensen could do it, and stepped forward with a smile on his face, and the students consciously moved out of the way, looking at the young commander with respectful eyes. A kind of love called "the prince will have a kind of Xiangning" spreads among the classmates.

Walking on the podium, Fang Jianxiong turned his back to everyone, clasped his hands and looked at the tactics on the blackboard, and didn't seem to be in a hurry to teach everyone a lesson. When the classmates were quiet, they turned around and smiled. When everyone was in a commotion again, Fang Jianxiong picked up a rag and wiped the blackboard clean. Raise your hand and write down the four big words "The Rising Sun", and then speak: "Ladies and gentlemen, these four words are about you." Young people are like the rising sun, and the future of this country belongs to you. ”

A simple sentence was like a lit flame falling into high-purity alcohol, and the eyes of the student soldiers were on fire, as if the blood was on fire. But fortunately, no one spoke, and everyone waited patiently for the next words.

"If a semi-colonial country like China wants to be strong, it must first have a strong army, without strong soldiers, others will always come to fight you, and after failure again and again, the country will inevitably become extremely weak, and the national vitality will be slowly exhausted! And you will be the protagonists of the Chinese nation in the future in the pursuit of national self-improvement and self-reliance. When you go to the military school, you must study hard, learn the teacher's skills, and be better than the blue! Please keep in mind that only by doing what you should do in a down-to-earth manner will you have the opportunity to get a broader stage and display your immeasurable talents! Thank you all for listening to this verbosity! ”

After Fang Jianxiong finished speaking, he clapped his hands, and walked slowly through the middle of the classmates, the scene was silent, and after Fang Jianxiong disappeared, a cheer suddenly broke out. Fang Jianxiong, who didn't look back, smiled slightly, these kids basically didn't run away.

Thinking of the list he watched last night, Fang Jianxiong would wake up laughing when he dreamed!

At the second stop, Fang Jianxiong went to the Hanyang Gun Factory, and the number one gold medal fighter in technology, Austin was urgently summoned and was conducting a field investigation of the Hanyang Factory. The appearance of Fang Jianxiong temporarily suspended the investigation.

"How's it going?" Fang Jianxiong asked naturally, and Geausten frowned: "Not good!" I learned that the technical reserve capacity here is not bad, but it is still on a relatively primitive basis. For example, the imitation artillery, this factory has been able to imitate it a long time ago, but the production is very low, because it is a manual imitation. The Maxim machine gun can also be imitated, the situation is the same as that of artillery. Therefore, new equipment had to be introduced, and staff had to be retrained for at least half a year. Otherwise, in the current situation, only old rifles and round-nosed bullets can be produced. ”

Liu Yutang hurried over, and the Hanyang Gun Factory was currently handed over to him to lead the Hunan army to garrison. Seeing Fang Jianxiong, Liu Yutang saluted and greeted. After joining the Anhui Army, Liu Yutang's whole person looked very different, and his complexion was obviously much better than before. This Xiexiang Army voluntarily joined the Anhui Army, and the Hunan side seems to have nothing to say.

Tan Yanmin, the governor, is a bit bloody, and it is said that the murder of the former governor Jiao Dafeng was instigated by Tan Yanmin. No matter what the truth is, the biggest beneficiary is Tan Yanhong. Tan didn't dare to offend Fang Jianxiong, a warlord who even fought in Beiyang, but he still called to say that Hunan's own armaments were difficult and he hoped to get the support of the Anhui comrades. Fang Jianxiong replied very simply, how much arms should be sold at the market price.

Fang Jianxiong has this confidence, and at present, there are more than 30,000 self-produced new copycat K98 rifles in Wuhu, and he plans to import another batch from Germany. The market prospect of the old-fashioned rifle that has been replaced is still quite good, and Fang Jianxiong is not worried that there will be no buyers.

Fang Jianxiong did not move Liu Yutang's department for the time being, and planned to wait for the matter to come to an end before reorganizing. Although the Hunan army dared to fight, the personnel and equipment could not go up, although they were all veterans who had experienced the fierce battle of Hanyang and had fought and seen blood, but there was still a lot of room for improvement.

Fang Jianxiong asked Liu Yutang to accompany him to inspect the gun factory, and it should be said that the Hanyang gun factory is still a leader among the enterprises of the same era. After the showdown with Li Yuanhong, regardless of whether he wants to or not, Fang Jianxiong still occupies this place first.

A few workshops turned down, and Fang Jianxiong's interest was slightly frustrated. In order for the Hanyang factory to meet the requirements of Geausten, at least five million silver dollars were invested. Fang Jianxiong is not rich now, the Eastern Expedition and the Northern Expedition plus the Battle of the Jinghan Line have thrown out the sea of silver.

Hard-headed, Fang Jianxiong still agreed to Giausten's request, and then left the Hanyang Gun Factory. (Your support on this site is my biggest motivation.) )
