"More than 1,500 people, the price is converted according to the rank of the army, plus the food and medical expenses during the period of capture, 3 million Long Yang, is this possible?"

Riding on the horse, Sanniang turned her head sideways and asked puzzled.

Although it is said that the daughter buys horse bones, no matter how rich the Beiyang led by Yuan Shikai is, the money is not blown by the wind after all. Three million Longyang, the annual military expenditure of the Beiyang Army for a town is only one or two million. This will make Lao Yuan himself shy, otherwise why would he urge the British Minister Zhu Erdian to borrow a big loan after doing it properly?

"That's what we want, the Eleventh Mixed Association has a total of more than 3,000 people, and nearly half of them have been captured by us. These more than 1,500 people are all veterans of the Beiyang Army, and excluding those who are disabled and ask to go home, Zuihou can leave at least about 1,000 people. If all these veterans of the Beiyang Army are added to the troops, at least one regiment can be expanded! Moreover, the infantry, cavalry, artillery, and sappers in this captive soldier are quite comprehensive! So, these three million Long Yang are fake, and leaving these veterans is real. ”

Hu Rui snapped his fingers, little by little, and said happily with creatine.

"Will this work?"

Sanniang asked suspiciously.

"Definitely! Throw this group of captives into the prisoner of war camp to spend it for a while, sharpen their spirit, and then recruit them. Arrange special political work cadres to be responsible for ideological education work, and more than 1,000 people will be scattered to supplement the troops below, and one or two will be placed in a squad, and the original veterans in the squad will take care of them. ”

Hu Dashuai replied confidently.

In the later generations of the Liberation War of the Flower Family, Kaishen Gong played a cameo role in the logistics work, and sent all the weapons and equipment aided by the United States and Britain to the rabbit who was still millet and rifles at that time. The number is huge and the variety is complete, P51 fighters, B24 bombers, M3 light tanks, Japanese-made Type 97 medium tanks, and the cruiser Chongqing. The thorough scope covers the sea, land and air (Kaishen Logistics moves China~)!

Weapons are an important factor in determining the success or failure of a war, but it is not a decisive factor, and the important factor that determines the success or failure of a war is people. It's not enough to have advanced weapons and equipment, no matter how advanced weapons are, they need people to operate them, right?! In the War of Liberation, the Huaihai Battle was the most tragic battle, Kaishen Gong and Rabbit fought very tenaciously, the casualties on both sides rose and rose, and the casualty ratio on both sides was very close. In the long run, the rabbit with a numerical disadvantage will soon be unable to hold on. But at this time, a dramatic situation occurred, after the captured national officers and soldiers went through a series of ideological work such as the grievance meeting. Take off your military uniform, turn your gun, and follow the turtle to fight Kaishen Gong! An infantry company with a full strength of 120 people, when the casualties were reported after the battle, the casualties of the officers and men of the company were as high as 220, which shows the large proportion of liberation fighters! When I arrived at Zuihou, it was basically a liberation fighter fighting against Kaishen Gong! Wang Keqin, the machine gun saint, Huang Jiguang, who sacrificed his life to block the gun's hole, and Qiu Shaoyun, who strictly abided by battlefield discipline, were all liberation fighters! No wonder some people in later generations shouted. Sending people and equipment, Kaishen Gongshi is the first hero of the rabbit to build the country!

There are no inferior soldiers. There are only incompetent commanders and commanders. In the spirit of take-it-or-leave-it. , Hu Rui decisively followed the practice of the rabbit back then, drew a scoop according to the gourd, and directly applied a set of methods to the Beiyang Army. These well-trained veterans of the Beiyang Army have made Hu Dashuai covetous for a long time.

When Tang Shaoyi blackened his face and sighed, he sent the results of the discussion to Beijing by telegram. The State Guest House in Shiren Hutong was completely blown up.

"Yellow-haired erection! What a big appetite! Hmph, all the southern provinces fell into the hands of the rebellious party, and Fanku was looted. At the beginning, the branch of the Daqing Bank acted as an agent for the treasury of several southern provinces, and the bank was gone. It makes the whole capital panic now! The head office of Daqing Bank was frantically run, the entire general account was about to be demolished, and the entire Daqing Bank was crumbling. As soon as the guns rang out, the gold was ten thousand taels, and the Daqing Bank collapsed, and the entire police order was going to be chaotic! When you fight a war, you will burn the snowflakes and silver of white flowers! We Beiyang are too busy to take care of ourselves, where did we get the huge sum of two million to redeem the defeated soldiers of this gang! If you really have this money, then it is better to send troops directly to fight it! ”

Liang Shiyi, known as the God of Wealth in Beiyang, laughed angrily and put the telegram on the table.

Regarding the current financial situation of Beiyang and the Qing court, he Liang Shiyi is very clear. At the beginning, Lao Yuan went out of the mountain, and it was used for the second time, and Beiyang sent troops to Wuchang to quell the chaos. In order to make up a series of military expenses such as military salaries and promotion fees, the Empress Dowager Longyu took out her own private money, and with the foundation of the national treasury, she finally managed to make up more than 400,000 yuan. Now, with the loss of several southern provinces, the Daqing Bank, which is the lifeblood of the economy, has been run on a frenzied basis and is on the verge of death. Whether it is Beiyang or the Qing Dynasty, they have long been shy in their pockets. Beiyang stretched his neck up and down, waiting for the aftermath to borrow a big loan.

"Yansun, you are in love, this Hu Dudu is a drunkard, and he doesn't mean to drink! Good spirit, able to bend and stretch, entrusted with the virtual and real, quite the style of Weiting back then. ”

Duan Qirui shook his head and said with emotion.

"Why do you say that? Yansun, quickly bring the telegram, I'll take a look! ”

Behind the table, the short and fat Yuan Shikai was stunned when he heard this, and the light in his eyes flashed, urging.

"Hahahaha, does this Hu Xiaolian look down on himself, or underestimate our Beiyang?! Along the Shanghai-Nanjing line, he went all the way south, and successively captured Shanghai, Nanjing, and other important towns, but abandoned them and surrendered them to the Southern Revolutionary Party. How can such a person be a cup of greed for money?! Hmm, what a disguise! Now Anhui and Jiangxi Liangsheng are holding the wine cup in their hands, and they have led their troops to Wuchang to seize the initiative to talk about it, this rising star is really underestimated! ”

Yuan Shikai said, just laughing with a solemn expression, as if thoughtful.

"Weiting, Xingcheng also sent a telegram, saying that after he arrived in Wuhu, he was told that Hu Xiaolian had led his troops to Wuchang. In the past few days, Wuhu has been courteous, but he did not mention any conditions, and kept arranging for him to go to various places to participate. View the steel mill in Ma'anshan, the manufacturing bureau in Anqing, and the Wuhu Industrial Park. Xingcheng means that now that Hu Xiaolian is far away in Wuchang, will Wuhu continue to wait? ”

Yang Du also took the opportunity to take out Yang Shiqi's secret message and asked for instructions.

"Cough, young but calculating, this is thinking about our Beiyang demonstration! So that we can't underestimate it! Call back Xingcheng and take this opportunity to take a walk. Also estimate the value of this rising star and take a look at his hole cards. Whether it's soliciting or fighting, there's always nothing wrong with knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent. ”

Yuan Shikai touched the thin and yellow braid on his head, pondered for a moment, and replied.

Shaochuan had already led the negotiation team to Wuchang, and Wang Zhaoming, the envoy sent by Weiting, was also in Wuchang at the same time. Before the North-South negotiations officially begin, should these two go to the bottom of the matter again? Find out Hu Xiaolian's attitude?! Wang Zhaoming has been active in the State Freemasonry, and it is time to help Shaochuan. ”

Yang Du's ability to observe words and emotions is very good, and he immediately pushed out the Wangwang bird who had been squatting in the corner of the wall before. Tentatively suggested.

It should be said that this "State Freemasonry" was jointly organized by Wangwangniao and Yang Du, aiming to coordinate the political contradictions between the north and the south and discuss international affairs. Unlike Yang Du, who is well versed in the art of the emperor, although Wangwangniao gave birth to a good skin (one of the four princes of the Republic of China), he is extremely naïve politically. The individual's abilities are also not proportional to his own vast ambitions (parallel to history, from the Ninghan confrontation. Later, Wangwangniao surrendered to Japan. Politically, this product has always been ambitious and incapacitating. I haven't played Kaishen Gong. Zuihou chose to be a traitor by any means for his own ambitions, and as a result, he was infamous for a lifetime. ）。 Therefore, since the curtain was introduced, Wangwangniao has been in an embarrassing position, and has been pinched to death by the scheming old Yuan. is to worship Yuan Keding again, and to secretly stumble on the south. flickered in the Beijing uprising. After going to Wuchang as Lao Yuan's envoy, he was immediately detained by Li Yuanhong, and he has always been unknown. Yang Du couldn't stand it anymore, and took advantage of Lao Yuan's headache. Clean and tentatively trying to give Want Want Bird a chance to show his face.

"Well, Zhaoming is also idle when he returns to Tianjin, so it's better to go with Shaochuan, why talk about helping."

Yuan Shikai thought about it and nodded, it was true to let the south support him for Lao Yuan to ascend to the position of president.

When the leaders of the Beiyang Group collectively had a headache, Hu Dashuai from Wuchang had a nourishing life.

Coming out of the station of the Beiyang negotiation team, Hu Rui and his party hurried to the wharf by the river, the large troops of the Anhui Revolutionary Army had not yet disembarked, and the welcome ceremony of the local people in Wuchang had not yet begun.

Li Yuanhong originally held the mentality of a dead fish and a broken net, and sent a telegram requesting the Anhui army to be stationed in Wuchang. The grand occasion of the people of Wuchang welcoming the Anhui army on the wharf made Li Yuanhong, who was still holding a trace of luck, completely die. The saddest thing for people is that the heart is dead, and when the heart is dead, there is nothing. Li Yuanhong left everyone behind, shrunk into the mansion and was saddened, leaving Sun Wu and other military and political dignitaries to deal with the affairs on the dock. How can the people of Wuchang warmly welcome the Anhui Army, it can be regarded as an activity organized by the people. The Anhui Revolutionary Army was stationed in Wuchang at the invitation of the Wuchang Military Government, and the military government did not make any preparations for activities, so it was left to its own devices.

Li Yuanhong became the shopkeeper, which caused the Wuchang Military Government to jump for a while. The Anhui army arrived at the wharf, and Tang Yulong, the secretary general of the military government who was temporarily arrested, led a cavalry battalion that had been put together with great difficulty, and was responsible for opening the road along the way, escorting Hu Rui and his party into the city.

In the past, the Anhui army came to Hubei's aid, and the Yangtze River Fleet and the reorganized Fourth Division that participated in the war strictly abided by the three major disciplines and the eight points of attention. During the period of aid to Hubei, not only did not there be a single incident of disturbing the people, but the Anhui Revolutionary Army stationed in Wuchang also took the initiative to undertake a series of work such as maintaining local law and order and relieving refugees who had no food and clothing. Huang Xing's baby son Huang Yiou is known to the people of Wuchang, in addition to gritting their teeth, they can only secretly curse Huang Xing's father and son to be punished as soon as possible. There was nothing to do in the early days, who let the family have a father who is the commander-in-chief! There is also a group of officers of the local Hubei People's Army acting as minions, asking for guns and guns, and there are people on top, what else can the people do? !

God has eyes, Huang Yiou, who was doing evil, bumped into the iron plate of the Anhui army, and was arrested by Hu Dashuai, who led the troops. It doesn't matter if your father is the commander-in-chief or not, he is a traitor, and he has no discussion with you! When the news came out, who among the people of Wuchang did not applaud? The suffering lord even enshrined Hu Dashuai as 'Bao Qingtian's reincarnation', and secretly enshrined Hu Dashuai's immortal tablet at home, no matter how poor the family was, he would save a small handful of rice from his mouth every day and enshrine it in front of the tablet. Later, after the Anhui army defeated the Beiyang Army, it was forced to evacuate, and the people of Wuchang also sighed. Behind his back, there was no less scolding of Huang Xing's personal vendetta. Wasn't Grandpa Yue Fei the same like back then? Single-mindedly resisting the enemy, serving the country and the people, but was victimized by traitorous ministers. For a time, the reputation of Huang Xing's father and son was stinky in Wuchang, and there was no one among the people who did not scold.

Now that the Beiyang Army in Hanyang has been defeated, and the Anhui Army, which can fight and is benevolent, has returned, can the common people still welcome it? Well, it's better not to go, the Beiyang Army is a brute, how many innocent people were burned in a fire in Hankou. With such an army stationed in Wuchang, the people are also down-to-earth.

The last time they came to aid Hubei, the Ministry of Intelligence and scouts conducted a thorough investigation of the situation in Wuchang. The location of the headquarters was quickly selected, and according to Hu Dashuai's intentions, he tried to avoid the location of the Beiyang negotiation mission as much as possible. Prevent gossip. The reorganized 4th and 3rd Divisions, which came with the ship, also chose open space. Camped.

As a comprador of a German foreign firm. Because of his profession, Mr. Hu can be regarded as having eaten all the Chinese operas. But when I tasted the food cooked by my daughter-in-law for the first time, I couldn't help but give a thumbs up. Yan Nuxia's skill in taking charge of the spoon is not inferior to the kung fu of killing, and the eight major cuisines are at her fingertips, and one person opens a table of banquets, just like playing. Whether it's a delicacies on land and sea or a home-cooked meal. You can always make a different taste. In the words of Hu Dashuai, "High! It's really high! ”

The first meal after arriving in Wuchang was still Yan Nuxia in charge, and Hu Dashuai, who had just been angry, was in a good mood, and after finishing the matter of settling down the troops, he ran to Sanniang.

Back to the pot meat, stir-fried three fresh, four fresh fragrant and dry, egg drop soup. Dinner is still three dishes and one soup, ordinary home-cooked dishes are made with special taste, and under the movement of the index finger, Hu Dashuai shaved down two bowls of rice in one go. touched his tight little belly, comfortably held a toothpick, and leaned back on the sofa.

"Ostensibly, the arsenal and steel plant in Hanyang have been shut down due to the war. But in fact, nearly sixty percent of the skilled workers have been poached by us, and the production equipment that cannot be taken away has been removed, and the current Hanyang Iron Works and Gun Factory have almost become scrap metal, and there are not enough workers to produce in this life. What's next for you? The three towns of Wuchang and Hankou are still in the hands of the Beiyang Army. ”

After cleaning up the table, Sanniang took two cups of tea, sat down face to face, and said seriously.

"Let's maintain the status quo on the Hanyang side for the time being, although we have completely captured Hanyang, it is not yet time to resume production. The successive wars in Wuchang have already caused the Japanese to be ready to move, and the greed for resources and land of these dwarves is almost outrageous! Not long ago, the Japanese military attache in China openly expressed concern about Japan's interests in China and called on Japan to send troops to intervene. The wolf's ambition can't be guarded against! In previous military operations, many deficiencies were also exposed, especially in local government affairs and recruit training. Taking advantage of the opportunity to talk about it, it is just a good time to rectify it a little. The soldiers and horses went first before moving the grain and grass, and the two troops were sent to Hanyang, and the expenses were too great, and money and ammunition were also a problem. Recently, it is estimated that the heart is weak. ”

Hu Rui analyzed with a wry smile.

"Nanjing's side is loud, but in fact, the wood is begging for fish. Settled in Wuchang, there is no buffer room between us and Beiyang. After these two battles in Hanyang, one of the mixed associations was completely annihilated, and the other was hit hard, and Yuan Shikai was beaten! In the direction of Wuchang in a short period of time, the Beiyang Army, which retreated to Hankou, would not make a big move without reinforcements and naval support. However, in the north, there were still many troops in Beiyang and the Manchu court, and it was difficult to guarantee that they would not take advantage of the time to talk about it and make some moves. ”

Sanniang bowed slightly, and said.

Yuan Shikai's plan was to promote peace with war, use the Beiyang Army as a bargaining chip, force the Qing Dynasty to abdicate, and force the Southern Revolutionary Party to elect him as the president. In the North-South peace talks, the initiative is in our hands at the moment, and this must be something that Yuan Shikai does not want to see. Sanniang, you are right, although we hurt Beiyang in the direction of Wuchang, Beiyang has not broken its muscles and bones after all. In the north, the Qing Dynasty and the Beiyang group still have a big shili, not to mention the truce during the period, maybe the Beiyang side will bypass us to make some noise in the north, knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, and regain the initiative of He Tan. At present, we have six integrated divisions, two stationed in Wuchang, one stationed in Jiujiang, Jiangxi, one stationed in Bengbu to guard against Xuzhou, and the remaining two are scattered and stationed throughout Anhui. At present, some of the problems that have been exposed within us are still waiting to be solved......"

Saying this, Hu Dashuai couldn't help frowning.

Yuan Shikai is a person whose ambition is inflated to the point of being quite an emperor, if he can sit down and be safe, it will be hell! (To be continued......)
