"What's wrong with you?! Why are your hands so cold?! ”

Sanniang retreated quite magnificently, and helped the pale Hu Rui to sit down on the recliner.

"It's okay, I'm bothering you, it's just a little unexpected."

Hu Dashuai was helplessly helped to sit down, his heart was warm, and he tried to squeeze out a smile and comforted. Anyway, there is such a person by your side, although you can't tell you about the things that have crossed over, but in this helpless time, you can have someone around you who will never abandon you and accompany you, this feeling is still very happy.

"Alright, stop acting in front of me! Laughing is more ugly than crying, did Yangzhou touch your taboo in such a fuss? Or is it the scar in my heart? I don't know anything else, but I know that you are not a person for the salt tax of Lianghuai. If you don't want to say it, I won't force it, but you can see for yourself. ”

Sanniang glanced at Hu Dashuai, who was forced to make a happy face, is this when others are stupid, or is he too confident in his acting skills? After all, he didn't stop his hands, grabbed a blanket and laboriously stood on tiptoe, wrapping Hu Rui's whole body in the blanket. Women, they will always be knives and tofu hearts.

"Sanniang, stand tall and see far, I think I've occupied high enough, I think I have seen through everything, and everything is under my control. But the result ......"

Hu Rui silently accepted the concern from Sanniang, and explained with a wry smile. He didn't want to have any trouble with Sanniang, so he thought about it for a while, erased the part of the crossing and replied vaguely.

"Die strong! Do you think you are Zhuge Liang or Zhou Gongjin? Or maybe it's Mr. Feng Yan?! I don't know much about it. But I remember Sun Tzu had a saying in the Art of War: Soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent! Don't think of yourself as a panacea, you've done enough, good enough. Seven points of counsel are in the man. Three points in the sky! Could it be that you, Hu Dashuai, are still planning to inherit the mantle of the magic stick and come to spy on the heavens? ! Lie down. Lie down! ”

Sanniang raised her eyebrows and ridiculed angrily. Having such a master on the stall is both worry-free and troublesome. It's not that Sanniang has never seen an official, when she was walking on the wall in the Forbidden City, she saw too many officials who were older than Hu Rui, but she had never seen an official like this. Let's not talk about my private life, he is gentle, considerate and kind, does not prostitute or gamble, and does not smoke big cigarettes, even if he does not have the identity of the commander-in-chief of the Anhui Revolutionary Army next year, he is also a sought-after son-in-law of a large family. Started to run an industry. With the three armies in charge, it can be said that the current scale and momentum of the Anhui Revolutionary Army are entirely due to him alone. The trouble is that this guy always likes to push himself, and he has to do everything to be perfect and anticipate the enemy's opportunities. Come on, you're not a god, are you?!

As she spoke, Sanniang grabbed the regular windbreaker hanging on the hanger, and the oil should be on Hu Rui, and then helped Hu Rui to lie down while taunting. turned around and went to tinker with the stove in the house, and after the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau was defeated, Hu Dashuai directly used the general office as a temporary headquarters. To say that this general office is really luxurious, just an office, even the chairs are of high-quality mahogany. Not to mention that imported Western fireplace.

"Sanniang? xiexie you. ”

Hu Dashuai, who was wrapped into zongzi, looked at Yan Nuxia, who was busy before and after, couldn't help but hesitate at the pretty back, and said softly.

"No! Who made us both people with stories? I can't let you die here. The soldiers outside won't eat me yet! Okay, I've got the fireplace, you can rest first. Take it a slow. I'm going to get you something to eat, and I'm going to think about it in the long run. Remember. If you are angry, you can't send troops, and you can't stay at night. ”

Sanniang was stunned. immediately quickly returned to normal, coldly threw Hu Dashuai a pretty back, threw away a sentence, and ran away.

Looking at the pretty back escaping from his sight like the wind, Hu Rui smiled. No matter how much your history changes, the big framework will always be like that. He Hu Rui is also a time-traveler who was born more than eighty years late, and he does not belong to this time and space. Although history will deviate from time to time because of some of his actions, he was still a top student in the military academy before he crossed over, and he had vision, strategy and related knowledge beyond this era. With these, coupled with the group of elite soldiers under his command, they have left the original historical track, as long as they are willing to work hard, who may be able to struggle to create a new world! He has always relied excessively on the historical events recorded in the history books in his memory, but he doesn't know that soldiers are impermanent, and history is often a big battlefield. His sudden appearance has inadvertently pushed the wheels of history off the rails. At this time, it would be pedantic to hold the old yellow calendar before, and then basically rely on yourself. Seeing the moves, step by step, smashing bottles and cans, and creating a new history of the Republic of China!

Sanniang's cooking skills are definitely not covered, a bowl of very ordinary chicken noodle soup can be made so tempting, it is really unimaginable. After pulling down a big bowl of chicken noodle soup and killing half an old hen, Hu Dashuai burped, held the teapot and poured two sips, and finally returned to his soul.

"The tea is cold, don't drink it. I just finished eating hot chicken soup, and I'm not afraid of stomach upset. ”

Sanniang looked at Hu Dashuai, who had a ruddy and shiny face, snatched the teapot with concern, and stuffed a bowl of boiled haode ginger soup into his hand.

"Mmmm, by the way, Sanniang, how is the current situation in Yangzhou? Do you have any detailed information about Xu Baoshan? ”

After returning to his soul, Hu Dashuai gratefully glanced at Yan Nuxia, who was busy before and after, and quickly entered his role.

"At present, Yangzhou is still in chaos, and there is no updated information from Yangzhou Station. As for Xu Baoshan, nicknamed Xu Laohu, the salt lord (the leader of the smuggled salt trafficker). used to run rampant on the river, but there were thousands of people under his command, relying on the income from selling illicit salt, and the equipment was good. Before the revolution, the government had already recruited Xu Baoshan, and the department was also organized into an official army. But in fact, it is just a formality, Xu Baoshan is still rampant on the river, and continues to trade in illegal salt. According to my tip, Xu Baoshan went out this time because the local salt merchants in Yangzhou looked down on Sun Tiansheng, who was born a scoundrel in the market. After knowing that he was not a revolutionary party, he came forward to invite Xu Baoshan to lead troops into Yangzhou. As a result, the wolf was brought into the house. ”

Looking at Hu Rui, who had finally recovered, Sanniang was relieved. Very cooperatively, he took out all the relevant information at hand.

"Huh, salt merchant?! For hundreds of years, relying on the transportation and selling of illicit salt, one by one they have become fat heads and big-eared rich people, okay, lure wolves into the house! Hmph, it's time to close the net! Sanniang, I'm going to work hard for you again this time, let's go through it together. Earn some more private money, dowry or something. ”

Hu Rui had a general understanding of the cause. Snorted coldly. The salt merchants were so wealthy that their influence in the Lianghuai area almost surpassed that of the government after hundreds of years of accumulation. If there is chaos today, if there is a gun, he is the king of grass, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be a careerist among this group of fat-headed and big-eared guys, and he will directly start the warlord division in advance. Therefore, this turmoil in Yangzhou may also be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, not only to include the salt tax of Lianghuai in one fell swoop, but also to take the opportunity to exterminate the local gangs and armed forces in Yangzhou. As for those fertilized and oil-flowing salt merchants, they can take the opportunity to weaken it. The Anhui Revolutionary Army is about to undergo its third round of reorganization. The existing four integrated divisions, two mixed associations, and one reinforced heavy artillery regiment will be expanded to six integrated divisions and one heavy artillery brigade, and even the local garrison regiments, which serve as reserve training, will also be expanded. There is still a big gap in military spending and equipment, and there are people who are willing to donate generously. The Anhui Revolutionary Army is still very welcome.

"Okay~"

Sanniang raised her eyebrows, smiled and bowed slightly. As for the word dowry mentioned by Hu Rui, it is selectively ignored.

"Someone!"

After Hu Dashuai got the affirmation of Yan Nuxia. He shouted angrily on the spot, and he was completely sick.

"Here!"

I heard the handsome call people. The adjutant immediately appeared at the door at a trot. The pale appearance of the big handsome face before was seen by the big guy with his own eyes, but now he looked at the red-faced handsome and affectionate Minister Yan where he made eye contact. The adjutant was envious of these two men with women's hats at the same time. also sighed a little, aiqing's liliang is great!

"The order is to go down, and all the staff teams and the commanders at all levels of the second division will go to the temporary headquarters for a meeting!"

Hu Dashuai stood up energetically and moved his muscles and commanded.

"Yes!"

Without any delay, the adjutant immediately took the order.

"I beg your pardon, sir, there is a saying in China that a daughter does not go to court. You are the founder of this army and the spiritual backbone of this group of young people. As your Chief of Staff, I strongly oppose your personal going to the front, this is an unnecessary adventure! In Pukou we have a mixed brigade plus a 75 mountain artillery battalion, in Wuhu we have two whole integrated divisions, in addition to a detachment of the fleet! Sir, there's no need for you to do it yourself, bullets on the battlefield won't avoid you just because you're a general! ”

Berman, who had just been promoted to lieutenant general, stood up steadfastly and strenuously opposed this almost risky idea. The commander in chief is the backbone of an army, and unless there is an emergency, he should try to avoid going to the front line. The impact on this army is terrible, especially in terms of morale.

"My dear Chief of Staff, you are right in your mind, and thank you for your due diligence. However, please forgive me that the situation in China is different from that of other countries. You see, most of China has now been recovered, and the control of the regime, which is made up of a handful of exploiters, has been greatly reduced. Then in the future of Yujian, the recovery of the whole country is imperative! Now let's assume that the dying regime is like a bowl, and every province and city is a bean. Before the revolution, the bowl was intact, and all the beans were kept in the bowl, and if the bowl was completely broken, the beans inside would lose their original restraint and be scattered all over the ground! It would be a catastrophe, the military and political power would be monopolized by the localities, and the whole country would be plunged into endless conquests in chaos! ”

Hu Dashuai danced and made a visual analogy, looked at the thoughtful chief of staff, moistened his throat, and continued to analyze.

"For the past few hundred years, Yangzhou has been the stronghold of salt merchants, who have built up private fleets and armed forces and have their own institutions. They have been engaged in the illegal trade in salt, which was previously prohibited, and you know that before the revolution, the salt tax in Lianghuai was converted into more than 10 million dollars. That's a lot of money, but it's only a small piece of the pie. For hundreds of years, the merchants had learned how to deal with the government, and the salt taxes they paid were just a small speck of their fingers to coax the rotten regime. Think about it if in your hometown there is a large group of people with unrivalled wealth and a large number of private armies, based in Dresden, who control the Rhine. As soon as the restraint of the central power is lost, these people will surely dominate the mountain, and then Germany will fall to the bottom in the melee. The same will be true for China. This is a political and military battle, and we are not yet capable of unifying the whole country. But that doesn't mean we have to tolerate the birth of secession! While they are still on a firm foothold, they will be uprooted in one go! These tasks involve a great deal of political and military interests, and cannot be solved by ordinary generals. So it's a pity, my dear Berman, my chief of staff. I'm afraid I'll have to go myself. ”

As a veteran officer who fought in the Franco-Prussian War, Berman's sense of touch has always been keen. Hu Rui's analysis made him can't help but break out in a cold sweat, for God's sake, this is terrifying! A country has undergone a regime change that has changed the world, and it is a time of weakness, if it is falling into the quagmire of warlord warfare...... The consequences can almost be said to be catastrophic! The duty of a soldier is to defend the country, no matter which country, if this situation occurs, as a soldier, it will be a lifetime of shame and dereliction of duty!

"Sir, you convinced me. But I implore you to bring enough troops and stay safe! My instincts tell me that you will be a good soldier and maybe a good leader in the near future. It is no exaggeration to say that you are God's gift to this ancient country, and your country still needs you, so take care, sir! ”

Berman solemnly saluted an Anhui military salute and persuaded him earnestly.

"Xiexie, Xiexie you, my friend. During the time I am gone, the second division will be handed over to you, and Shanghai is a very complicated city. The burden on your shoulders is not light, I only have one word, maintain the status quo and do not make any compromises! I'll take care of everything when I get back! ”

Thinking of the small-bellied chicken intestine alliance, Hu Rui was not only moved, but also did not forget to mention the German chief of staff. The problem of adapting to water and soil has already appeared once in Nanjing, and the current Shanghai is surging. (To be continued......)
