"Large-scale demonstrations broke out throughout Korea to seek independence, and the Japanese army bloodily suppressed them, killing more than 3,000 insurgents."

"An armed uprising broke out in North Korea and captured four groups of county towns, the scale of which is unprecedented in history, and the North Korean territory gathered to respond?" Chen Youren pinched these telegrams, one more surprising than the other, and looked at Qin Yu suspiciously, "Marshal, can this North Korean rebel army have anything to do with you?" ”

Although he asked like this, Chen Youren also guessed some of Qin Yu's intentions in his heart.

"The Japanese have always refused to let go of their mouths on the customs matter, so they will have some fun with them, otherwise Japan will think that only they can make the Republic of China ugly, and the Republic of China will not be able to bring them trouble." Qin Yu said with some schadenfreude.

"Dashuai, will this move anger Japan?" Chen Youren said with some concern.

"Have I provoked Japan less often, if the Japanese could move me, they would have brought me down a long time ago, and I can sit firmly in Beijing, not because I don't provoke Japan, but because of the strength of the Northeast Army." Qin Yu pointed out sharply, "You still talk to the Japanese about the customs, and when the Japanese can't hold their breath, they will talk to you about the quid pro quo." ”

"Dashuai, the Japanese minister asks to see you!" Outside the house guard reported.

"It's coming really fast." Qin Yu and Chen Youren glanced at each other.

"Your Excellency, Chief Chen is also here, so it would be better." Anger loomed on Kohata's face, and he came in and said, "Your Excellency, the appearance of a large number of weapons in the Korean rebellion this time, I wonder if it has anything to do with the Northeast?" ”

"Why did Mr. Consul say that? How do I know what the situation is on the Korean side, your country claims that the army is useless, can't even the small Korean rebel army be pacified, and you still want to come and accuse me? Qin Yu is naturally not easy to bully, and said with color at the moment.

I knew that Qin Yu was shameless. Prepared for this, Kohata Yukichi sneered, "Let's not mention the large number of rifles that appeared in the chaotic army, but a large number of grenades, the whole of East Asia, except for my country. Only your country has the ability to provide it, doesn't the tour make you want to admit it? ”

"If you want to add sin, there is no excuse. Anyway, it's not the first time that there has been a misunderstanding between your country and me, and I have nothing to explain, just like your country is entangled in the matter of my country's customs, isn't it also blatant, when your country forcibly occupies Jiaozhou Bay, why do you need to explain to me, what is the intention of coming to the door now? Qin Yu said coldly. Is it just to threaten me? ”

"Since the patrol has nothing to do with the rebellious army in Korea, it will be easy to do, with the manpower and material resources of the rebellious army, it will not be able to support it for long under the encirclement and suppression of the imperial army, and you have a saying that the mud cannot support the wall, even if there is support behind the rebellious army, it will not last long." Seeing that Qin Yu denied it, Xiao Wan also smiled and said. "But when the time comes, the rebel army will flee north, and I hope that the patrol will make Your Excellency not accept it. It would be bad if it caused a conflict between you and me. ”

"Really? In view of the unrest on the Sino-DPRK border, in order to prevent the livelihood of the people on the border between Mukden and Jilin from being affected, the central authorities of our country are discussing the transfer of a division from Zhili Province to the north. Steady dìng boundary. If there is really a change in the north, it will be no problem for me to draw troops from Zhili, Shanxi, and the two lakes, no wonder your country has supported the former war supervisor so hard. It turns out that there are so many advantages to holding the central power. ”

Where would Qin Yu be threatened by Xiao Ha Youji, he said with a smile, transfer Yan Xishan to the north with a mixed group, and then transfer one or two mixed brigades from Zhili Cao Kun to the Dandong area. One controlled all the troops in the northern provinces in batches, and also relieved the pressure on the Northeast Army.

Kohata Youji's eyelids jumped, but he didn't expect that not only did he fail to threaten Qin Yu, but he was threatened upside down, if the Republic of China really drew troops to the real side, I am afraid the impact on North Korea is not a little bit, the Republic of China and North Korea are only separated by a river, and the coasts on both sides can also support each other at any time, if the Northeast wants to support the Korean rebel army, it is impossible to prevent it at all. The greater threat to Japan is that after Qin Yu took control of the central government, once he was able to recruit local troops, it showed that he had initially achieved control over the north.

"Okay, then the empire will wait and see how the situation develops, and see if the empire can extinguish the Korean rebellion in a short time."

"Yes, I think the Korean rebel army has a good popular base and occupies a geographical advantage, and your country cannot completely extinguish it for the time being." Qin Yu raised his eyebrows, the faces of the left and right sides were about to tear, Qin Yu was not afraid to say it more obviously, anyway, the Korean rebel army could only be funded from the northeast, and it was useless to explain it.

Watching Xiao Ha Youji brush his sleeves away, Chen Youren wiped the fine sweat on his forehead, and secretly felt that although Qin Yu was uneducated, he was also very handy in doing diplomatic work, talking nonsense with his eyes open, threatening openly and secretly, and turning around and being able to reconcile, he did not hesitate to tear his face when he was tough, Xiao Ha undoubtedly showed that he would not compromise on the customs matter, and Qin Yu also bluntly said that he would never stop aiding the Korean rebels.

"Dashuai really plans to mobilize Cao Kun's army?" Chen Youren asked.

"What do you think, don't worry, after transferring Wu Peifu's thorn to Anhui, Cao Kun alone has not had the courage to resist the central government in Zhili Province, and besides, I have already placed five or six divisions around Zhili, and I have to bow my head under the eaves, and I have to compromise once in Anhui, and Cao Kun will not be able to do it later." Qin Yu smiled, if Zhili is far away from Beijing like Hunan and Fujian, it will still become a big problem, but right under his nose, although the threat to Beijing is great, it is closely watched, and it has lost its potential for development.

"It's good that the marshal is sure, after entering the customs, the affairs are busy, and the marshal should also pay attention to the body, if the marshal is tired, I am afraid that there is no foundation for us to stand on the basis of those who fight with our mouths."

Chen Youren breathed a sigh of relief, he is good at the field of diplomacy, but he is not good at this kind of intrigue at home, during this time he showed his skills in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and agreed on the bottom line of customs affairs with the four powers and Germany, but the most difficult link had to be solved by Qin Yu. If it weren't for the Northeast Army standing behind him, Chen Youren also knew that those powers would never allow the Republic of China to take back the initiative in customs at this time.

"I was tired enough a few days ago, but this time was very good, and after Tian Helin entered Beijing, it will be more relaxed." Qin Yu smiled heartily, "Besides, the Republic of China has not yet been unified. The rights and interests that have spilled over from the great powers have not yet been recovered, and if we don't finish these things, will we still wait for the next generation to clean up this mess? ”

"What is the order of the central government, a telegram is, Maoye is omnipresent, how dare you bother Director Ding to make a trip in person?" Liu Zhenhua respectfully welcomed Ding Cheng to the hospitality hall and treated him as a guest.

"There's no way, the handsome man is in Beijing, and he has no time to doppelganger. Otherwise, you will definitely personally lead the troops to Shaanxi, the marshal said, as long as Brother Maoye can help pacify Shaanxi, the position of governor is none other than you. Ding Cheng said slowly and methodically as he put the teacup on the desk.

"Once you have a fate, you can do anything. Even if all his subordinates are defeated, Maoye will welcome the central army into Shaanxi. Liu Zhenhua said in a resolute tone.

"Well, Zhang Xiyuan and Wang Xisan, the two mixed brigades, are also oriented towards the center. Then there is Brother Maoye, and the inside should be combined with the outside. Then Shaanxi can be determined. Ding Cheng smiled and nodded, "Whether it is a descendant or a non-descendant, the marshal is a person who attaches importance to ability, the reason why Cheng Shen was able to become the commander of the Shaanxi First Division is because of his meritorious service in eastern Henan, and Brother Maoye's previous achievements in western Henan, the marshal can also be seen." After being elected governor. The base is to prohibit opium cultivation and set up industries. Improving Shaanxi's economic environment is just around the corner. ”

Zhenhua was secretly shocked in his heart, although he had expected that Zhang Xiyuan, Wang Xisan and Chen Shufan were not the same road, but the two of them were so easy to submit to the central government. It seems that although the central government has experienced the turmoil in the past five years of the Republic of China, its strength still exists. After the Feng army entered the customs, it was the highest point since Yuan Shikai became the emperor, not seeing Henan, Shandong was quickly surrendered by the central government, and the central army was forced to land in Shandong for a battle, even the great powers were amazed, for the central army, Liu Zhenhua felt a fear in his heart, so this time Ding Cheng came, Liu Zhenhua did not hesitate to directly choose to meet.

Liu Zhenhua heard it again and again, Ding Cheng, as Qin Yu's adjutant, was more respected than ordinary overseers, and he must not tell lies.

"I don't know what arrangements Yushuai makes for the army under Jizhi?" After a long time, Liu Zhenhua still couldn't help but ask this sentence, after all, Qin Yu's ruthless reputation for dismantling the armies of various provinces had already spread, and Liu Cunhou was also worried that once the central army entered Shaanxi, it would drastically reform the army.

"The central government's reduction of the army is a helpless move, how many troops can one Shaanxi raise? Chen Shufan's army will undoubtedly be cut off, and there is no need to keep the local armies, and the Maoye brothers will leave you two divisions, as for the Yasukuni Army in the north, there are at most two brigades, as for Zhang Xiyuan and Wang Xisan, most of them will be transferred out of Shaanxi and go north to the real border. Ding Cheng said truthfully, "Although the establishment of Brother Maoye has been reduced by one division, the central government will comprehensively change the clothes of Brother Maoye, and by then the two divisions will be full, and the strength will increase unabated compared to now." ”

Here Ding Cheng fought a buried battle, and even Cao Kun could only succumb to the central government, not to mention you Liu Zhenhua, once the Central Army entered Tongguan, although Liu Zhenhua's two divisions would be established, under the military expenditure system provided by the central government, unqualified personnel would be eliminated, and as for the replenishment of soldiers, the provinces would also be supplemented by people from the Central Military Academy, and in a year or two, Liu Zhenhua's two divisions would completely become the Central Army. The disaster of the Republic of China lies in the provincial supervision system implemented during the destruction of the Qing Dynasty, and where will Qin Yu follow the old path at this time.

"Please also rest assured that Yu Shuai will fully support the central government." Liu Zhenhua does have a bit of the temperament of a loyal minister and a good general, but from the time he started, he knew how to rely on the general trend, and the Zhensong army in his hand was adapted from a group of swordsmen, in order not to be recognized by Zhang Zhenfang, the governor of Henan at that time, Liu Zhenhua not only swept away the bandits in western Henan, but also cleaned the inside of the Zhensong army, killing all the subordinates who were not clean with hands and feet, and cutting off nearly 3,000 heads. Although the utilitarian heart is stronger, under the absolute power, Liu Zhenhua is also a very capable person.

"The Central Army will enter Shaanxi in the near future, and when Brother Maoye and the 8th Division open Tongguan, the overall situation has been decided." Ding Cheng smiled and said, "If not, you can cross the river through Shanxi, but it is the fastest to enter directly from Tongguan, and the central government will no longer take a long detour." ”

"Misan, I can't imagine that after a few years, you are no longer what you used to be, even if I want to call you a teacher." Zhang Xiyuan knew that Beijing would send someone over, but he didn't expect that it was his first confidant and proud protégé to be cautious.

"Don't torture me, old sir." Cheng Shen smiled bitterly and said, "After the old chief left Henan, I was also excluded in Henan, and I have been suppressing bandits in eastern Henan, until the Feng army entered Shaanxi, I had the opportunity to bring down Zhao Kui and let out a bad breath for the old chief. As a teacher for one day, a father for life, I will never forget your kindness to me, sir. ”

Zhang Xiyuan's face was a little pale, nodded and sighed, "The times make people, everyone has their own opportunities, you can be reused under the Northeast Yushuai, and it can also be regarded as your luck, I was a little worse at the beginning, and I was not accepted by Yuan Xiangcheng, but was demoted from the first division commander to the current position." ”

"Why do you need to mind the old chief, Feng Jun entered the customs, and now he controls the central government, it is the trace of employing people, if the old chief can accept the Feng army into Shaanxi, it is a great achievement, and the character of Yu Shuai who will be rewarded for his merits is not as good as Yuan Xiangcheng." Cheng Shen persuaded.

"You tell me the truth, if I go from the central government, what position will this Yushuai give me, or will I cut off my Fourth Mixed Brigade?" Zhang Xiyuan asked.

"Old commander, Yu Shuai told me, you can at least still serve as the commander of the Fourth Mixed Brigade, after pacifying Shaanxi, you and Wang Xisan's 15th Mixed Brigade will most likely be combined into a division, as for the division commander candidate, it will be between the old commander and Wang Xisan, whoever has great merit and strong ability to manage the army will get the post of division commander." Cheng Shen said fifteen-ten.

"Yes, do you think Yu Shuai's words are somewhat true?" Zhang Xiyuan's heart was pounding, and he said with some worry.

"Old sir, although Yu Shuai is young, he will do what he says, if you are really a treacherous person, it is okay to allow you a bigger official position, why do you need to do this?" Cheng Shen explained, "As for Wang Xisan's side, it was a lobbyist sent by the president, and Chen Shufan thought that the Shaanxi army was tens of thousands, which was just a joke for the central government, and it would not take more than a month to pacify Shaanxi." ”

"Okay, I'm thinking about this matter, Chen Shufan has always distrusted me, I'm afraid it's the same this time, I'm afraid that the army will strictly monitor the Fourth Mixed Brigade, you go back, and when the army enters Shaanxi, I will do my best to respond." Zhang Xiyuan believed that Cheng Shen would not lie to him, so he had the bottom in his heart and made a decision at the moment.

"Okay, then it's decided, and the old chief will not regret today's choice in the future." Cheng Shen said very happily. (To be continued......)
