Chapter 181: Aftermath Big Loan
(tears run for recommendation tickets, collection, subscription)
Chen Yong's neck shrank back, and most of the battles they fought with the rebels were forced to be urgent, and they had to fight desperately. If there is a choice, including Liu Kangning, they will not do it like this if they can avoid it. But the Feng army was extremely belligerent, and this time it fought with the Mongolian army, that is, the Feng army took the initiative to intercept the Mongolian army. Based on Chen Yong's understanding of the Chahar local army, if he did not have a great advantage in troops, he would not fight with the rebels like the Feng army threw off his arms.
"Have you heard, the monthly salary of an ordinary soldier in the Fengjun Cavalry Brigade has grown to almost 3 oceans. It's the infantry, and now there are more than 2 pieces, and they are still eating, drinking, and wearing outside, and when they were eating just now, they said that they never owed anything. ”
"What? Is there such a good thing? Can you earn dozens of oceans a year, and you can also eat and live? Damn, as far as the clothes on their bodies are concerned, they are also soldiers, why is Chahar so bad? Chen Yong's eyes were about to pop out, usually when the price of a load of rice was high, it was only 4 yuan, but in a bumper harvest year, when the price of rice was low, it was only a little more than 3 yuan. In an era when most people don't have enough to eat and don't have warm clothes, it's good to be able to solve the problem of eating.
As for Lu Jun, Chen Yong and a few other soldiers, it was purely because of the heavy burden on the family, and when they came out of one, the family could save one person's rations, and they became soldiers because they had nowhere to go and ate together. has been nesting on the grassland for so long, and the already small salary will be deducted. Those who are more frugal have to help their families a little, and the rest of their hands is not spent at all. Hearing that Feng Jun was treated so well, his eyes turned red.
"Thank you Captain Liu for your life!" Liu Kangning was stabbed in his left forearm, and the skin was open, which would hang a white gauze belt. With the support of the soldiers, he saluted Liu Zhendong.
"We are all compatriots, the army of the Republic of China. Reasonable. You should all be saved. Liu Zhendong nodded, there was no joy on his face, in this battle, Liu Zhendong's subordinates directly recorded more than 200 people, and more than 160 people were seriously injured, and the casualties were not small. Even if the invading Mongolian army was wiped out, such a loss made Liu Zhendong extremely painful.
"I heard that you brought the rebels to a bad time before?"
"It was just a fluke, the rebels were asleep at that time, and the brothers took the opportunity to raise their swords and kill them with real pleasure." said this, but Liu Kangning also had a little smugness on his face. With less than half the enemy's strength, it can attack by surprise, annihilate most of it, crush it, and capture a large number of horses. Materials, if it weren't for the pursuit of the rebel brigade later, I am afraid that I would have gone to Chahar to take the credit, where would it be so embarrassing.
"I also heard about this matter, and I praised you at the time, saying that you have the courage to lead troops to fight, are you interested in staying in Fengtian?" Liu Zhendong asked.
"Yes. Naturally, yes. "The momentum of the Feng army blocking the Mongolian army alone makes people fascinated. If you talk about treatment. According to Liu Kangning's thoughts, the soldiers of the Fengjun army are so good, and the officers naturally have nothing to say.

"Wow!"
"Look at you, a father, who is busy all day long, and he has a relationship with his son." The Qin clan snatched the little guy from Qin Yu's arms and shook it gently.
Qin Yu touched his nose and looked at Chen Xinyi, who was pouring tea on the side. "It's all because you usually spoil the little guy too much, this doesn't give me a chance to perform, so naturally you don't make love to me."
Qin Yu can't say that he is an old lady, so naturally he can only say Chen Xinyi and Zhou Yingxue.
"You've got a point." Not to be outdone, Zhou Yingxue smiled and said, "Anyway, your son is yours." It's none of my business if I'm okay with you or not. ”
"By the way, Qin De, Qin Weifeng and they will come back from the United States next month, I know that you are not good at promoting people casually, but you are also your cousin, if you don't take care of it, your father's face will not be good." Qin said a word, although Qin's usual speech is more effective than Qin Daqian's, but outside, he still takes care of Qin Daqian's face, even Cheng Ming, and Qin's family hasn't opened his mouth much.
"You just put a hundred hearts, cousin, they are staying in foreign countries, and they have food wherever they go, Fengtian is just when they want to use people, and if they really have the ability, they will not humiliate them, as for Qin Laoqi, he underestimated him, he used to look like a Sven, but when he went abroad, he became a prodigal, others drank foreign ink, he drank a belly of foreign wine, and when he came back, he didn't let me arrange for me to save some snacks, if I really found it, I would just throw him into the army and boil him for two or three years." Qin Yu said.
"That's not to offend the third uncle, I think you won't accept it then, so as to save your third uncle from gossiping." Qin's Dao.
"Uncle, the chief of staff of the blue outside came over and said that he was looking for you for something."
"Okay, I'll go over."
"Master, look at this news" Lan Tianwei saw Qin Yu and immediately handed the newly received telegram to Qin Yu.
"Big borrowing in the aftermath? The president drank water to quench his thirst, and after talking for more than half a year, he finally came to the end, and the Kuomintang was afraid that it would be in trouble. Qin Yu couldn't help but sigh.
"The master thinks so too?" Blue Sky Blue Road.
"The Kuomintang now also has moderates and radicals, although the Song case is regrettable, but it is best to solve it through political struggle, if it really starts, with the military strength controlled by the president, the Kuomintang army can hold out for a month or two is already good, you don't look at Inner Mongolia to look good, the president in the pocket of a little good goods can be arranged in the Central Plains, outside the first to settle the inside, before because the money matter has not been resolved, get this loan will have no worries." Qin Yu said, "The assassination made the president very unfavorable in public opinion, but if he really raised troops, this matter would be reversed." ”
In Qin Yu's view, it is understandable that Yuan Shikai is angry about this matter, before the Kuomintang engaged in the presidential system, now he is the president, and he wants to have a responsible cabinet, Yuan Shikai is naturally uncomfortable, Song Jiaoren died, the Kuomintang was surging, Sun Yat-sen advocated the use of force to fight Yuan, governing the country for a year, the country basically stabilized, and Yuan Shikai, who was more powerful than when the Republic of China was first established, would not let go of this opportunity. The Kuomintang resorted to force, which was in the hands of Yuan Shikai.
"However, if the president really borrows, this matter will also enrich the pockets of foreigners, and it will be a loss-making business for the Republic of China." Lan Tianwei still has some sympathy for the Kuomintang, after all, he has done revolutions before. I just didn't get started.
"Who's to say it isn't." Qin Yu sighed. "25 million pounds, sold at 90% off, 84% off, only 21 million pounds remained, of which after deducting indemnities, loans, and advances and salt rectification expenses totaled more than 12.7 million pounds, in fact, the amount received will not exceed 8.2 million pounds. However, the repayment will be repaid in 47 years, and the Republic of China will have to pay 67.85 million pounds with interest. This transaction is not an ordinary loss, but from the standpoint of the president, if this loan can solve the Kuomintang once and for all, and from then on it will be a good deal. I'm afraid I'm just poking a hornet's nest now. ”
From the bottom of his heart, Qin Yu felt that what Yuan Shikai did was not unreasonable. Only when the threat of the Kuomintang is resolved can the decree be further accessed, from last year to now. Lao Yuan governed the country well, except for serious overspending on military spending. The expenditure in other areas is generally within the controllable range, and the current financial embarrassment of the Republic of China is not the fault of Lao Yuan, but the historical reasons left over from the late Qing Dynasty to the present. According to the provincial registers, the annual expenditure of the army alone is more than 20,000 yuan. Among them, the central government has repeatedly reduced the military expenditure, and has imposed a mandatory requirement that the military expenditure of the national army is more than 161.69 million yuan, that of the 50 divisions of the descendant line is more than 86.33 million yuan, and that the provincial military expenditure is more than 27.48 million yuan. The central staff officers and the organs directly under the two ministries of the army spent more than 4,780 yuan.
There is no money and no troops can be cut. If we do not lay off the troops, we will need more money to raise the troops, and this vicious circle has caused the vast areas of the country to be disrupted by the soldiers, and the people's lives have become increasingly impoverished. The army's arrears are an extremely common thing, and military expenditures account for 40,000 or 50,000 yuan of the central government's revenue, and the total internal and external debts are two to three percent.
Some people accuse Yuan Shikai of calling for national disarmament at the same time that he himself is expanding the army. If anyone sits in Yuan Shikai's position, it is understandable to do so, strengthen the centralization of power, and cut off the threat of the local army to the central government, Yuan Shikai is not a qualified president if he does not do this, not to mention that the threat of Japan and Russia is getting heavier, and without a strong army, the entire Republic of China will not be able to straighten its back. Expand the strength of the Central Army, and at the same time integrate the arsenals in various localities, increase and stabilize investment in education, and respect public opinion. Yuan Shikai's ideas were correct in all these respects, and at this time, the economy of the Republic of China was improving and the balance of payments had begun to be achieved. It's a pity that Yuan Shikai went perverse in the back, if he wasn't the emperor, Yuan Shikai would probably be the founder of the Republic of China.
"What is the position of the master on this matter?" Lan Tianwei asked.
"In the Song case, I have a sympathetic attitude towards the Kuomintang, but the Kuomintang wants to use force to win over Yuan, and I do not support it. Home and everything is prosperous, this sentence is equally appropriate when put on the country. Qin Yu said truthfully. The situation in Inner Mongolia is tense, and Brother Ji Hao is a little more concerned. ”
"The cavalry brigade is going well, and the division seat does not have to worry." Lan Tianwei nodded, Yang Xing defeated the rebels in Inner Mongolia, Qin Yu just wanted to find something for him to do, so that he should not pay too much attention to the affairs in the Guannei, Lan Tianwei was clear in his heart.
"Second Young Master, Adjutant Ding is here."
"You tell him to wait in the side hall for a while." Qin Yu said, Lan Tianwei is an orthodox soldier, and the 20,000 Mauser 98 rifles should not let him know the Tao for the time being. Most of the ordinary local overseers are counting on the equipment allocated by the central government, what are they buying so many ordnance for, not to mention that it is currently one of the most sophisticated rifles in the world. is the most descendant division in Yuan Shikai's hands, and he is not such a good guy.
