October 12, 1907 was not a day of great joy on the lunar calendar, but the city of Beijing was full of joy.

Yuan Shikai's second daughter, Yuan Zhongzhen, is finally going to become Yang Dagui's wife today. The Chinese troops performed very well on the battlefield for a while, Yang did not disappoint the people of Beijing, and Yuan Shikai also won the hearts and minds of the people, and the marriage between the two of them was seen by many in China as a hope to dilute the potential contradictions.

Therefore, those people with heads and faces in the capital, regardless of whether they have received an invitation or not, must take advantage of this time to express their hearts. As for those ordinary people, in this era of extreme lack of entertainment programs, it is a matter of course to come out to slap twice out of the psychology of joining in the fun, or out of respect for Yuan Shikai and Yang Xiaolin.

Commander Yang originally thought that he would just do it simply, but Lao Yuan didn't agree.

Lao Yuan said, although it is not the first time you have married, my daughter is married for the first time. You're almost forty years old, marrying my eighteen-year-old daughter, and you want to do something simple, but there is no door.

Early in the morning, there was an endless stream of congratulatory gifts, and even the newspapers of major foreign media reported on their marriage, and some good reporters actually followed up and interviewed, which really made Yang Xiaolin's heart very uncomfortable.

He could swear to God that he never thought of marrying Yuan Zhongzhen. Yang Pian is a simple person, so simple that he has always thought that it is enough for him to have a woman who is willing to accompany him until he is old. Yuan Zhongzhen's marriage was originally a misunderstanding, and if he could push it off, he would definitely not have a little nostalgia.

But Lao Yuan obviously didn't allow him to do that. Things have come to this point, even if it is fake, it must be true, Lao Yuan obviously wants to let everyone in the world know that Yang Dagui has become his Yuan Shikai's son-in-law, Yang Xiaolin really has a feeling of being forced to marry.

The most unacceptable thing for him is that the people in the Northeast do not allow him to have the slightest excuse, not only Yang Du, but even Chen Tianhua said that rejecting Lao Yuan at this time will make the Beiyang family unable to step down, unless Yang Dagui is willing to risk war with Lao Yuan, otherwise, he must agree.

Yang Du, that guy is even more excessive. He actually said that Commander Yang's reluctance was all faked. This statement has also been recognized by many people, and even Liang Qichao warned Yang Xiaolin very seriously, don't learn from Lao Yuan's style of wanting to be a bitch and wanting to set up an archway.

Yang Xiaolin's true feelings can't be explained. He really didn't know what it would be like for him to live with Yuan Zhongzhen. That little girl with a new youth style will definitely not be a good wife and mother like Shen Dan, he can be sure. If there is another injured person in this marriage. That's Yuan Zhongzhen.

Let him go. This marriage was not meant to be so simple.

"Huizi, in a few days, I will lead the troops to counterattack, and the affairs of Beijing will be left to you. I don't care what means you use. But there is one thing you remember, you put the star platform in front of you to withstand the wind, don't really let him make any mistakes. ”

Yang Xiaolin, who was wearing a big red coat, was not talking about marriage, Yang Du sat opposite him and nodded lightly: "Don't worry, although I have an opinion on democracy, I have no opinion on Xingtai, I won't be so excessive." ”

Yang Xiaolin said: "I'm afraid you can't control the situation, Lao Yuan's Beiyang business has been deep-rooted for decades, and it is not easy to shake him." ”

Yang Du smiled: "It depends on how to make a move." Commander, you said that this struggle between us and Yuan Shikai is a brotherly struggle, let me ask you, what is the most crucial point of brotherhood winning? ”

Yang Xiaolin thought for a moment: "The support of the people." I think if we can hit Yuan Shikai's prestige, then things will be much easier to do. ”

He really thought so, when Taizu and Mr. Jiang competed for the world, wasn't it because Mr. Jiang lost the hearts of the people that he was defeated? Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, this is the wise saying summed up by the ancients.

The policy formulated by Yang Du to crack down on key Beiyang officials can be seen that he also started from this aspect.

But he didn't expect Yang Du to shake his head disapprenanently after listening to Yang Xiaolin's words: "Ha Luha, winning the hearts of the people is just a method, not the key to victory." ”

Yang Xiaolin became interested when he heard him say this: "Oh? Tell me about it. ”

Yang Du stretched his head towards him and whispered: "Woe to Xiao Wall, those who have no lower limit will win." ”

This sentence really shocked Yang Xiaolin! Yang Pian admitted that he is not a good person now, but he really disagrees with Yang Du's means that those who have no lower limit will win, and when he was about to distinguish between words, Yang Du put on a look of being too lazy to explain to him: "Okay, I propose that you go north because I know that you may not be used to it, fight your battle well, and wait for me to give you good news." ”

After Yang Du finished speaking, he sat up straight: "You'd better take your little daughter-in-law with you, so that she won't cause us trouble in Beijing." Also, after overthrowing Yuan Shikai, who will be the president? ”

Yang Xiaolin showed a blank in his scheming skills at this time: "Xingtai is the most suitable candidate." ”

Yang Du glanced at him: "I know the way." So he can only be prime minister. I mean to let you be the president, but you don't dare, you can't concentrate the party, government and military power in one hand. ”

Yang Xiaolin snorted: "How capable of myself am I know the Tao myself, let me fight a war is no problem, and still be the president?" When I was in the Northeast, in such a small place, did you see me in charge? ”

Yang Du didn't say anything more: "Li Yuanhong can consider it, or choose another person from Beiyang, which is very beneficial to us to pacify the Beiyang forces after we get rid of Lao Yuan." When the specific time comes, it will depend on the situation, we don't want him to do anything, and the operation of the government will be handed over to Xingtai, as long as he is not allowed to practice democracy. In the future, you will be responsible for fighting the war, and I will develop the economy, and this is the most suitable path for our China. ”

Yang Du insisted on his golden ironism, and on this point he and Yang Xiaolin's concepts were the same. What democracy, what centralization. Only when your gun is hard and no one dares to bully you can you ensure centralization, and if you have a bulging pocket, you can let the people eat and drink well, so that they will not care whether the system is democratic or not.

Yang Xiaolin looked at him: "Huizi, I'll leave the affairs of Beijing to you." I don't care what the means you say have no lower limit, or that sentence, don't hurt Xingtai. Do we know what we can do to develop to this day? We're both bad guys, and we have to have a good guy keep an eye on us. ”

As soon as he said this, he saw Chen Tianhua's figure coming from outside, I don't know what Yang Xiaolin suddenly remembered that when he saw Chen Tianhua for the first time, that dashing handsome guy once made Commander Yang feel very ashamed, and now Chen Tianhua has paid attention to recovering his appearance. But the wrinkles on the brow and the premature gray hair on the temples. It seemed that Commander Yang felt a little guilty.

"It's time to find a woman for Xingtai, and it's time for the brothers to start a family. It's the same with you, Gentle. ”

Chen Tianhua's footsteps stepped into the door: "Xiaolin, the sedan chair has arrived at the mouth of the alley, according to the rules, you have to get the door to pick up the newcomer." Come on. ”

No matter how Commander Yang and Miss Yuan Er live in the future. Everyone has already arrived at the door.

Yang Xiaolin suddenly realized that he was really a little contradictory. He not only has the simplicity of Yang Pian Police. There is also the wildness of Yang Jiang. Yuan Zhong is a beautiful little girl, and Yang is really looking forward to it.

Thinking about what Yang Du said, he is really a little right, maybe his heart is not that kind of rejection......

The wedding of Commander Yang has caused joy to the city of Beijing, which has not been diluted. All the commanders of the four aspects of New China have already come to Beijing. On the one hand, they have to prepare for the upcoming military parade and counteroffensive, and on the other hand, Yang Xiaolin hopes to change the current state of the Chinese troops before the counteroffensive begins.

Even if the Russians seem to have little hope, China's military build-up cannot be aimed at defeating the Russians or the Japanese. There is only one goal in building the troops, to fight a war.

Fighting a war is a skillful job, not only to know your opponent, but also to know yourself. It is necessary to be able to give full play to all of its advantages in order to put oneself in a relatively advantageous position in the war.

Yang Xiaolin put forward the idea of unified command and unified organization, and Yuan Shikai did not raise any objections. On the one hand, the elder Yuan Zhilu said that this was the first time in nearly half a century that the Chinese had launched a war to recover their homeland, and there was no room for the slightest mistake, and the unified command and establishment were completely correct. On the other hand, he really wanted Yang Dagui to leave quickly with the troops, and he was ready to do it here.

In the upcoming war, Commander Yang asked the participating troops to implement the following operational guidelines:

First of all, after launching a counterattack against the Russians, any battle must have a clear tactical goal, not to fight those meaningless wars, not to engage in a tug-of-war with the Russians. Just like Mr. Sun Wen said, victory on the battlefield was achieved by the common people gnawing on the bark of trees, and the situation in China has just improved, and they cannot afford to drag mud and water.

The first task in combat is to attack! After disrupting the Russians' footsteps, they could not be given a chance to breathe, and they had to keep attacking, so that they could not stabilize their formation. The attack should be as sudden and concealed as possible, and concentrate superior forces to attack the point of the Russians' defense, and do not dwell on whether the battle line is broken or not, so as to avoid falling into a decisive battle with the Russians in a large corps.

Yang Xiaolin also imitated the model of the People's Liberation Army in the future, and arranged two textbooks for the troops, one was the "Infantry Battlefield Minutes" for ordinary soldiers, and the other was the "Operational Ideological Guidance" for commanders and fighters at and above the platoon commander level.

Now that various countries have noticed that the performance of soldiers on the battlefield requires special theoretical guidance, the German troops have already compiled infantry textbooks, and the Japanese have also summed up their experience after successive defeats to the Volunteers, and have begun to compile the "Infantry Drill Code".

There are many parts of Commander Yang's "Infantry Battlefield Minutes" that are copied from the German Army and the Japanese Army, regardless of whether Little Japan can't beat itself now, Yang Xiaolin's concept is that as long as he thinks that others are good, he will use it for himself, not to mention any piracy, and if he doesn't grab it directly, it is polite.

Yang Xiaolin said that this operational ideological guidance is not immutable, and the book that has been issued at present is only suitable for the current war against Russia. The first page of the opening chapter is to tell the commander why he wants to fight! Let's start with the first contract of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, and until now, how much territory the Russians have taken from China and where they are located, are clearly listed.

Later, he also listed some atrocities committed by the Russian army in China, such as the 64 Tun Massacre and the Hailan Pao Massacre, which Yang Xiaolin made very clear in terms of operational ideological guidance, and this was the reason for the war with the Russians.

In addition to instructing the commanders in their thinking, the back of the booklet tells the commanders what to do when the soldiers are in some agitation or other unstable situations on the battlefield.

This is just a software to build the troops, and the purpose is to improve the quality of the entire army by improving the quality of the soldiers and officers of the troops. Yang Xiaolin knew that this could not be done overnight, and it was useless to say some truths no matter how many times you said them, and the soldiers must be allowed to experience it on the battlefield and learn while fighting.

As for the hardware of the troops, it is the armament. During this period, the weapons of the Chinese troops mainly included semi-automatic rifles, light machine guns, heavy machine guns, mines, grenades, grenades, and grenades, including smoke grenades, which were all world-leading.

There is also the use of tanks and artillery.

Although special artillery and special armor have not yet been developed, the assembly line has already begun to be put into production, and this time there are 30 tanks and 20 infantry fighting vehicles put into battle.

Zhou Tong said that production and research will continue in the future.

Although there are only 30 tanks now, which is not even the size of an armored brigade during World War II, Yang Xiaolin not only set up an armored division, but even reserved a place for armored troops in the infantry unit.

In the next two to three years, the army's tactical run-in will be completed by war with the Russians, and Zhou Tong's tasks are two, the development of communications and the development of armored forces. (To be continued......)
