Chapter 113: Wooing
"Li Songqing is really blind this time, and the taste of luring wolves into the room is not pleasant."
In the study, Lao Yuan touched his shiny big bald head and said with a slight sarcasm.
Before the Xinhai Revolution, Zhang Zhidong, then the governor of Liangjiang, reorganized the old army and patrol battalion in Hubei. From the initial self-improvement army to the later Hubei New Army, it is indeed ahead of the domestic provinces in terms of military system.
Among the Beiyang faction, except for the first town, which was composed entirely of Manchurians. In the rest of the towns, most of the officers at all levels, except for those who graduated from the martial arts hall, were born in Germany. Take the army chief Duan Qirui as an example, in the spring of the sixteenth year of Guangxu (1889), he entered the Berlin Military Academy as an official student. After a year and a half of theoretical study, you were ordered to visit and study at the Krupp Gun Factory in Germany. Although it was only half a year, after the Franco-Prussian War, with its outstanding performance in the war. The Krupp cannon, represented by the Krupp breech steel cannon, became famous overseas.
At that time, Krupp was in full swing, and with the help of hands-on practice, Lao Duan hopelessly became a die-hard fan! stubbornly adhered to the concept of "the German army is the best in the world". After the twelfth term of Lu Shi, the Japanese military began to teach Chinese students in Japan and their own Lu Shi students separately from their own Lu Shi students. The decline in the quality of teaching, coupled with the blind influx of students studying in Japan, has gradually become a means of gilding studying in Japan. The actual military qualities of these students in Japan are really not flattering.
In the Beiyang Army, there are quite a few officers who studied in Germany. From the army chief Duan Qirui to the company and battalion officers at the grassroots level, the entire Beiyang is generally rejected for students studying in Japan.
Li Yuanhong was the first to suggest to Zhang Zhidong that he send students to Japan to study military affairs at official expense. Most of the officers at all levels in the Hubei New Army were born in Japan, and as a result, they were infiltrated by the revolutionary party like a sieve. After the Xinhai Revolution, the People's Army of Wuchang attacked Zhang Biao's Eighth Town, which was quite okay. But against the two towns of the Beiyang Army personally commanded by Feng Guozhang, they did not win!
Putting aside the issue of equipment, the Wuchang People's Army, which was expanded from the Hubei New Army, is indeed inferior to Beiyang in terms of command and combat effectiveness.
All kinds of factors add up, when Lao Yuan saw the joint power supply of Hubei and Anhui provinces, his first reaction was to gloat!
"Li Songqing is looking for his own death, and he can't complain about others! Hu Xiaolian of Anhui annexed the whole of Hubei, and this shili expanded to two provinces and cities at once. This Wuchang is still the place where the Southern Revolutionary Party started an incident, and in that respect, he Hu Xiaolian is the biggest winner. The strength has soared! Xiang Cheng, the students think that this is indeed a good opportunity for us in Beiyang. β
Yang Du seemed to smile but not laugh at Ying and said.
"Hahahaha, I've learned to play pantomime riddles, too. Tell me about it! β
Stunned, Old Yuan daxiao patted his slippery head.
"Although the text is temporarily lacking. And the heart of vacancy. It will be revealed in the future. I hope to make a big plan as soon as possible to comfort the aspirations of 40,000 people! This was a telegram from Sun Wen to Xiang Cheng, and Sun Wen and the likes of the Nanjing Provisional Government were all ambitious. After the revolutionary party made an incident in the south, this Sun Wen actually went to Europe with his bare hands to seek loans from other countries. As a result, it was a lot of money. But I didn't borrow a penny! On the way back, the sea of people did not return to China, Wuchang was still fighting, and he was already thinking about the position of the president. But anyone who is ambitious. If you want to achieve great things, you must have enough capacity to support your ambitions. This point, neither Sun Wen nor the Nanjing Provisional Government and the like, do not have! The slogan is shouted, the so-called ism, can it be cold? Hungry? β
In these years, the more level people are, the more they like to sell guanzi. If you say that half of it is left and half of it is fully pointed, then you can't show that you are knowledgeable. Yang Du smiled and said nothing, but commented on the Nanjing Provisional Government from head to toe.
"It's not a bad idea to use your strength to fight, but how can you get on the line?"
As soon as Yang Du's words fell, the old Yuan over there suddenly flashed, patted his bald head and muttered to himself.
"Borrow the liliang of the coalition government and help Xiang Cheng to ascend to the top?!"
Xu Shichang in the corner was the first to react and shouted in a lost voice.
This cargo has always been a marginal role in the Beiyang Group, with not many soldiers in his hands and not speaking hard enough. However, in terms of politics, he has a very sensitive sense of smell.
"Hmph, Feng Guozhang fought a good battle, Hanyang was defeated twice, and the Eleventh Mixed Association was completely annihilated! If you can't win on the battlefield, everything is empty talk, even if we can catch up on the line, people will agree when they are complacent? β
Ma Longbiao, who was born in Huaijun, and the generals from Beiyang here have always been incompatible. Immediately snorted coldly and stood up and retorted.
Don't forget, this kid is a stunned seed who is not afraid of heaven and earth! Even the British dared to offend, and forced Beiyang to cede the entire Hubei before. Victories one after another, it is the time when the spring breeze is proud and complacent, can you agree to this?
In the final analysis, it was Beiyang itself that did not win! Although Beiyang is strong, it has always been unable to raise its head against the National Defense Force, and it is a general of the defeated army!
"You can't say that, everything pays attention to a sharp word! It's just Xiang Cheng, the big loan hasn't come down yet, and the money in the account is really not much......"
Liang Shiyi, the Beiyang God of Wealth, quickly stood up for tat. No, his tone changed, and he said with a wry smile.
"Yan Sun is right, thousands of miles for officials are only for money, and wealth can be channeled! Up to now, all the taxes and silver in the Fanku have been taken out by the revolutionary party in the south to recruit troops, and the three towns of Wuchang have been beaten to pieces, and the taxes cannot be counted on. At the beginning of spring last year, there was a big flood, and the harvest in Hubei, Henan and Anhui was not good, and Hubei did not forget it. The taxes of Anhui province alone are not enough to support the operation of the entire coalition government, let alone expand the army. β
Wang Shizhen, who has never spoken, also said in line with the Tao.
Beiyang Three Heroes, Wang Shizhen, Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang, Wang Shizhen, as the head of the three masters, is the oldest. This will gradually fade out of the North Ocean for various reasons.
"Now the form is extremely beneficial to our Beiyang, and the provisional government in Nanjing does not need to worry about it. A rabble, they can be trapped by military pay alone. Yansun, don't worry, Zhu Erdian came to me before, and the mention in and out of the words is in place. The British side is also eager to hold our Beiyang up, and the big loan for the aftermath should be fast. Let's work hard for now. Soon it will be haode. β
didn't pay attention to Ma Longbiao, Xu Shichang and others who were secretly competing, Lao Yuan said comfortably to Liang Shiyi.
The subordinates fought back and forth, and Lao Yuan was also happy to see it. This is the way to control, there are conflicts between you, you quarrel with each other, and there is no time to worry about my position. If the people below are all harmonious and there is no bond between them, Lao Yuan will be in danger.
"Xiang Cheng, Brother Jingtian's words when he left are still in his ears, and he can bend and stretch. The characters who have ambition and ability, and can force us to make concessions in Beiyang and force Li Songqing to abdicate and make way for Xian, are definitely not things in the pool. It's feasible at this point, but who should we send? It is already a well-known fact that Hu Xiaolian did not deal with the provisional government in Nanjing. Previously, the Southern Revolutionary Party held the so-called National Governors' Conference in Shanghai, but it did not notify Hu Xiaolian and Li Songqing. Afterwards, although Sun Wen personally ordered the general. sent Song Yu's father (Song Jiaoren) to Wuhu to invite. But he pounced on the air, and he didn't even see him. Although there is no open confrontation between the two sides, the Nanjing Provisional Government's fear and hostility towards Hu Xiaolian are clearly exposed. It's possible, but who can do it? The previous Yang Lian room ......"
Duan Qirui frowned, and after grasping the scale, he was embarrassed.
Song Jiaoren, sent by the Nanjing Provisional Government, pounced. Yang Shiqi, sent by Lao Yuan, was no better. Although he was hospitalized and invited to visit and have something to eat, he was still put aside and still stayed in Wuhu.
"Zhiquan is right. Although this person is my great enemy in Beiyang, he is indeed a tiger and wolf! The heroes are young and old, and their stunts cannot be compared with the likes of the Nanjing Provisional Government. Before, we stopped Jiang Guidi and Ni Sichong, and we can be regarded as helping him Hu Xiaolian. In this way, send a telegram to the lotus room, this matter is urgent, and it will be negotiated this morning. Yansun, you work hard, you have to worry a lot about the silver roots, and the overall situation is set first. β
Lao Yuan pondered for a moment before making a final decision.
Originally, in parallel history, in December 1911, Ni Sichong, then the commander of the right wing of the Wuwei Army, was ordered by Yuan Mi to lead the troops to the opportunity. He led the army to attack northern Anhui, captured Yingzhou (Fuyang) and slaughtered them to contain the Huaishang army. In this time and space, due to the sudden rise of Hu Dashuai and the Wehrmacht, at the end of December, Feng Guozhang was defeated by the Wehrmacht in Hankou.
No matter how greedy and unscrupulous Ni Sichong is, he is also a general of the Beiyang lineage. After hearing the news, Lao Yuan hurriedly went to the fold, so that he could talk about it, so that the small court at his head revoked the military order issued to Ni Sichong.
Unintentionally inserted willows and willows, Lao Yuan's move to preserve his strength also helped the Wehrmacht invisibly. A reorganized division of the National Defense Force stationed in Bengbu was waiting solemnly, and there was nothing to do except for staring at Zhang Xun of Xu Shou.
This will Lao Yuan immediately dig out the old accounts, use them as favors, and matchmaking.
"Xiang Cheng, four million at most! Otherwise, if we don't wait for the aftermath to borrow a lot, we Beiyang will have to be a pants mess around. β
Liang Shiyi pursed his lips, sniffed, and spread his hands full of grievances.
βhahahahaβ¦β¦β
In the coaxing daxiao, this strategy of borrowing strength has also officially taken shape. In the Wuhu National Defense Army guest house, Yang Shiqi, who was so stuffy that he was about to get moldy, didn't know that his errand life was coming again.
"Are you still comfortable here?"
While signing the documents, Hu Dashuai raised his head in a hurry and asked with a smile.
For Ye Fenghe, Hu Dashuai really made a difficulty. This will just confirm the relationship with Yan Nuxia, and before the candles in the cave room, he directly planned to eat his sister-in-law......
I can't say anything about it!
Hu Dashuai has been curious, Old Man Ye, a philistine parent who is not amazing, how did he give birth to such a beautiful girl? The two sisters are more beautiful than the other, although this will not be opened, and the indifferent smoke is already a beauty embryo. Compared with her sister Yan Nuxia, it is not too much.
The little girl is not only beautiful, but also kind and diligent. Ever since I joined the Wehrmacht headquarters, I have seen everything that is new. When he came out of the conference room, he unconsciously moved his position closer to the secretary. provoked these days, Shen Bin, as the deputy museum, was fateful.
Someone is competing with him for a job!
Sanniang is a good sister, although she didn't see that her fiancΓ© was an unscrupulous husband and an evil 3P idea, but this did not hinder Sanniang's image as a good sister. watched his little sister run before and after, wearing a Wehrmacht officer uniform without a military rank, busy with her studies. Sanniang couldn't stand it anymore, and went out to ask Hu Dashuai for the first time.
After that, Feng He was fortunate to become the first female civilian officer in the Wehrmacht. Shen Bin, the adjutant, also relaxed, and the original position of secretary was given to someone else.
"Well, there's nothing out of the ordinary. My sister and everyone took good care of me, and it was much more interesting than when they were at home. β
The little girl shook her head with joy, her bright eyes full of satisfaction and novelty.
"That's good, send these out, go ahead~"
Trying to squeeze out a gentle smile, a touch of tenderness appeared on the handsome and resolute face.
"Wei Wuji, have you confirmed all this?"
When the little girl turned to leave, Hu Dashuai took out the report in the drawer and couldn't help but ask in a cold voice.
"Dashuai, it's all confirmed! In the past few days, these groups and individuals on the list have made a profit of 200,000 yuan from the special disaster relief fund through shoddy, reselling and other means, and all the transaction details and evidence are blocked on it! β
Wei Wuji still had an expressionless ice cube face, and he stood solemnly and reported.
In less than a week, 200,000 yuan was made from special funds and materials for disaster relief, which is quite amazing in Wuchang, where the war has just ended.
"Jihua in advance, absolutely tolerant of these scum and moths! This is the money for the victims of the disaster, and we will not let go of it, and a batch of military supplies we provide, and some people have actually reached out! Hmph, our deterrence in Wuchang is still insufficient. β
Hu Rui put down his pen, and his tone was faintly mixed with murderous energy.
When the water is clear, there are no fish, and the problem of corrupt officials is always inevitable in all dynasties. However, corruption must also be measured, and even the life-saving money of the victims and the military supplies provided by the National Defense Force for disaster relief have actually been done. Such a scumbag, Hu Rui really can't tolerate it.
"Understood!"
Wei Wuji saluted, turned around and prepared to take the order.
The list of injured people includes officials of the coalition government, local squires in Wuchang, and grain merchants, all of whom are figures with heads and faces. An anti-corruption operation that has long been jihuahaode is entering the countdown to Zuihou.
Killing two birds with one stone, this time it is really ruthless, one hundred and ten lives, and it is inevitable that there will be another round of people.
"Governor, Li Songqing abdicated and gave way to Xian, and was willing to succumb to others, and the provisional government of the Wuchang Army and the entire Hubei were annexed by Anhui."
On the mahjong table, the bald guy said worriedly while stacking cards.
"Hu Xiaolian, a little red guy, has a very good appetite when he arrives, and he actually swallowed Wuchang. Mr. Sun is about to be sworn in as the interim president, and no matter what, he can't let this little deflated three mess up at this time of spoofing. β
Chen Qimei held a jade pipe in her mouth, and said with an excuse of worry.
Chen Qimei was very depressed, and among the high-level members of the alliance, a group of people led by Chen Qimei and Huang Xing were very disgusted with Hu Rui. It's not that these two families have any deep hatred, the strong military liliang on the Anhui side, and the layers of aura of Hu Rui himself, are too dazzling. has faintly stolen the limelight of the League, which makes the self-proclaimed pioneer of the Chinese Revolution embarrassed?
Moreover, when the National Defense Force was stationed in Shanghai and the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau was defeated, it was not returned. Chen Qimei was determined to win the position of Shanghai governor, and in order to expand his strength and seek support, he gritted his teeth and spent 1.5 million yuan to buy a batch of arms. After that, although the large force of the National Defense Force left, the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau did not let go. Now the Shanghai People's Army wants to expand its formation, and it is worried about the waist and ordnance.
"The little red guy from the countryside in Anhui, Zhiqing, go back and talk about it at Minli Daily. Now is the critical time for Mr. Sun to take the oath of office, and there must be no problems. Tell the Minli Daily to bombard it at full speed, and make it stink first! In addition, Tao Chengzhang, the old immortal, is still deducting basins from Mr. Sun and making a deposit. If it really doesn't work, it's just a hundred! β
Spit out a puff of smoke rings, Chen Qimei shouted with pity. (To be continued......)
