Chapter 680: The title of domestic and foreign
The cavalry brigade in Shandong experienced great joy and sorrow in this battle. First, the Sun family shed too much blood, and even the whole clan was filial, and even women went to the battlefield. However, when the war ended, the cavalry brigade was expanded into a cavalry division, which suddenly made the Sun family the biggest beneficiary.
After all, with so many more positions from the brigade to the division, the Sun family can produce another group of foreign swords. Who is unhappy?
However, some people are unhappy and very unhappy.
Sun Meiyao's face was as smear as a pool of water, and the whip on her hand almost hit Sun Feibao's face, "Little Leopard, say it again, are you going or not?"
"If you don't go! If you beat me to death, I won't go! I will stay in the Cavalry Division. If I don't want me to be a brigade commander, I will be a regiment commander. If I don't work, I will be a cavalry. In short, I won't go to India to fight if I beat me to death." Sun Feibao's face was red even his neck, but he still gritted his teeth and refused to let go.
There were a few people in the Sun family, but after Sun Guiliang's death, no one in the Sun family could suppress Sun Meiyao. Moreover, in the military camp, she was the largest division commander, so who dared to obstruct her discipline subordinates? They all only helped, but scolded Sun Feibao.
"Little Leopard, don't blame the master for scolding you. You are ungrateful. You are a reorganizer in Tianzhu. After you come back, you are the commander. Do the commander understand? How old are you, you can be the commander. If the master hadn't tried hard in front of the commander, would you be the commander of this position?"
Sun Meiyao's face turned slightly red. She did not use force in front of Zhao Guanhou, but in order to exchange for her cousin's future. The situation in Albion in India was critical, and there was a possibility of national loss. The reinforcements needed were not like the Yankee Civil War, and a cavalry regiment was enough. Albion's lion spoke loudly and the basic requirement was to be a reorganized division.
Take this division to India, and after fighting the war, you will naturally be able to hold the throne of the division commander. Sun Feibao has experience in the Yankee civil war, can speak foreign language, and understand the command of foreigners. It is easier to communicate with Albion's garrison in India. Moreover, after further studies in the military academy, Sun Feibao does have the ability to command large corps to fight, which are his advantages.
The problem is, if there are too many people with these advantages, why should I choose him? It’s not that there are too many people in the Sun family this time, and Zhao Guanhou felt guilty. In addition, Sun Meiyao put on the pillow in front of the lamp and tried her best to serve the Sun family to earn an extra commander. Unexpectedly, this little bastard didn’t appreciate it and refused to go to war. Then, my riding methods these days were in vain.
"I know, you just started a family and couldn't bear to leave your wife, but I agreed with your brother-in-law that you would like to take Hei Ni with you. This is something that you have to talk to foreigners for a long time before you can agree. What else do you want to bear to?"
"I'm not helpless to leave Hei Ni!" Sun Feibao shouted. The person he couldn't bear to leave was right in front of him. But... but this could not be said no matter what. His face turned red and his fists were tightly clenched. He really wanted to say that he just wanted to follow his sister and die for her. If it weren't for you in Shandong, why would I stay in Shandong? The world is so big that I can't accommodate me? The gold bar beauty placed in front of him, and even half of Shandong's promise, was not moved. The reason was that he didn't like fame and fortune, but that these things combined, they were even better than you.
These words were like floods, accumulated in his heart. He really wanted to yell, but even though his face turned red, he didn't dare to say a word.
Sun Meiyao raised her whip. Sun Feibao was ready to be beaten, but the whip did not fall down and threw it on the ground. Sun Meiyao sighed, stretched out her hand and touched Sun Feibao's face.
"The little leopard has grown up and learned to be disobedient. Forget it, you have your own ideas, I shouldn't force you. This is wrong with my sister. I agreed without asking your opinion first. If you don't want to go, then I won't go. On your brother-in-law, I will tell him that there are a lot of people watching this position, so there will be no worries that the leader will not be able to find the officer." He shook his head again, "The fate of a person is destined to be the gods, and the Sun family is destined to be unable to produce talents."
The disappointment in her tone was unconcealed. I don’t know if it was to Sun Feibao or herself. But this sigh hurt more than a whip. Sun Feibao looked at her cousin’s back and suddenly shouted: “I’ll go! Sister, I’ll listen to you. No matter when it comes, I will listen to you. I will do whatever you ask me to do! I’ll just go to war in India, I’ll go!”
"You can't be a teacher even if you go now! You disappoint me so much. For you, I will compete with others for a teacher position. It's not worth it! It's a dragon or a worm. It depends on your own fortune. When you come back from India, you will arrange a position for you."
Sun Meiyao was rare to be generous and gave up her position as a division commander. This official position took a turn and finally fell on Yang Futian, who served as the commander of the fortress during the Qingdao Battle. The first person to be shocked was Cheng Yue. She almost knelt in front of Zhao Guanhou and asked him to take back Cheng's life.
"This... others can gossip. I... I don't want to bear the reputation of being an inner house to interfere in military affairs. Master, please change someone else, you can't send him."
Zhao Guanhou smiled and pulled Cheng Yue into his arms, "Why can't you send me? Although Yang Futian came from the old army, he studied in the military academy twice and had excellent grades. Reinstein also recognized his command ability and believed that he was qualified for the position of a division commander. What's wrong with it?"
"I... can't tell you what's wrong, but in short, it's not."
"You have learned to be disobedient?" Zhao Guanhou deliberately raised his face, but saw that she was so scared that he almost cried, so he had to coax again. "I'm not blaming you. In fact, there are not many people in the inner house who don't compete for fame and status for their subordinates. The Huai Army is my old subordinate, so I should be rewarded. The position of a division commander is nothing. This time, I am preparing to fight two divisions in the Tianzhu. One division enters Tianzhu and the other division is on standby, and fights in a certain period of rotation to avoid going there like the Citi Kingdom. I am also preparing to be promoted to the other division commander."
"No, that's even worse. How can the Huai Army have two division commanders? Mrs. Sun must have thought that I used some means, and I'm afraid of her." Cheng Yue really cried this time. Although she also has martial arts and can still kill the enemy, she is born with a cowardly nature. She dares not fight with others in the inner house. In addition, she doesn't look outstanding, and she suffers a lot of losses in the inner house. Sun Meiyao is exactly the opposite of her, she beats her when she stares and scolds her when she opens her mouth. She is a famous thorn in the inner house.
If Sun Meiyao hated herself for the sake of her teacher's affairs... just thinking about it alone would make Cheng Yue feel frightened. She was really afraid that this sister from a bandit would be an expert in any way she would be a master, and she would definitely be uneasy at that time.
Zhao Guanhou thought, "Yang Futian is fighting for life with the commander of the Fusang Navy this time, and it is unreasonable to not repay me. So let him be the deputy commander first, and the commander of the commander sent Ren Sheng. They are old partners, and this time they will continue to work together, there is nothing to say. As for another division, I want to miss people again."
"Shaanxi...Shaanxi Army." Cheng Yue whispered a reminder. When she saw her husband looking over, she shook her head in fear. "I didn't collude with Miss Yuzhu, and I also confiscated the benefits of the Shaanxi Army. I just think that many people died this time and I should get something."
"Shaanxi Army, it's really a lot of effort, but there's another division commander at once... Let's talk about it. Let's deal with this division first!"
During the battle in Shaanxi, Cheng Yue sold all his property and recruited two regiments of Huai Shang children for Zhao Guanhou. These troops have now completed training and are included in the regular army system. In this operation to support Shandong, men from various provinces have arrived one after another, and Cao Zhongkun sent 800 trained regular infantrymen.
Although these reinforcements suffered losses on the battlefield, they could still gather more than 4,000 people. In addition, some of Xiemiaonov's subordinates were based on an infantry regiment of the Shandong Fifth Division and two Huai corpses as the auxiliary, with reinforcements from various provinces and recruiting surrendered troops during the Battle of Jiangning as the main body, and a special infantry division composed of Tiel Infantry Regiment was officially formed.
The entire division is the same as the regular army. The infantry, cavalry, labor and artillery are complete, but Shandong can only provide one-third of the weapons and equipment. The remaining bare-handed soldiers are all equipped with equipment and armed forces. The employment costs are paid in Albion pound or gold. The seized materials of the Lu army on the battlefield are controlled by itself and are not controlled by Albion. However, they need to obey Albion's command and enjoy a high degree of autonomy on the specific battlefield.
In addition, Shandong's Dali Pills were invested by Albiang and jointly registered patents with Jason Pharmaceutical Company, and the profits were shared in the seventeenth ratio. At the same time, Albiang enjoyed the right of priority refusal. The Dali Pills in Shandong were acquired by Albiang in one go and all were distributed to soldiers on the Taixi front line. Cape also participated in one of them, and exchanged a batch of Dali Pills from Shandong for a batch of railway building materials stored in Tianjin.
The morale of the Entente Team was sluggish, and these Daliwans were life-saving straws, and they all hoped to boost morale and turn defeat into victory.
Albion, who reached this mutual aid agreement, also paid a price. Shandong's tariffs increased from 5% to 10%. Although Shandong's mines are jointly operated and mined by both countries, Albion must pay real money to subscribe to Prussia's equity and cannot be taken in vain. In addition, a batch of old warships in Albion in the Yangtze River Basin must also be processed to Shandong at a low price for coastal defense.
Overall, this transaction was not a loss, and Albion's national strength was seriously damaged and he was in a weak position in negotiations, which gave people the feeling that he was easier to deal with than the Prussians. Jason, in addition to joy, instructed Zhao Guanhou:
"The Albion people are almost unable to maintain their dignity. This is the best time for us to gain benefits. At this time, we cannot have the slightest mercy. We must extract the final profits from them, and we cannot afford them!"
Rodley was active in Shandong again. Shandong, Albion signed a mutual aid treaty. Zhao Guanhou, Zhu Erdian and Kang raised their glasses to drink together. The scene of signing the agreement appeared in a prominent position in the Times. When the newspaper was delivered to the eldest son Yuan Keyun by the hand of the news examiner, the examiner looked extremely nervous and asked carefully, "Will this newspaper be given to the president?"
Yuan Keyun's face was filled with an unfathomable smile, which made the hairs on the censor stand up.
"Give it, why not? This is a foreign newspaper. Can we detain it? That's not filial? Go and send it to the President and let the President take a good look at what kind of capable people we have come together! Albion, Cape, so powerful. Two powerful countries are serving one person. Who else should he be afraid of?"
Yuan Weiting's eyes did not stay in the newspaper for long, but he accidentally swept around, then threw the newspaper aside to handle other official duties. This news did not attract his attention. After about an hour, Yuan Weiting called Jiang Zongchao and asked about the public security situation in the capital and the public's emotions.
"The public security in Beijing has always been like this, but it always looks like this. Recently, there have been many cases of drunken fights that celebrate the Shandong victory. Everyone goes to a restaurant to drink, and it is easy to be excited when they drink too much, and conflicts are inevitable. In addition, there are some attacks on Fusang merchants and expatriates. Although the President has ordered troops to protect the safety of foreigners, our strength is limited and it is inevitable that we will be inadequate in preventing and causing conflicts. In addition, it is because of the celebration of Shandong victory, setting off firecrackers and deliberately setting fires on Fusang shops."
Yuan Weiting listened carefully and then said, "It is a good thing for the people to express patriotism. The government should not suppress it. However, the thugs should not be allowed to mingle among the people and disrupt social order. You are the commander of the infantry, and this is your duty and cannot be shirked. From today on, you must do two tasks well. One is to explain to the foreigners that the people are celebrating the victory in Shandong, so they have taken some extreme actions. I hope they understand. The other is to send a seat to collect intelligence, drink and fight, or set off firecrackers to burn houses. This is not important. But if someone takes the opportunity to incite the people's emotions and promote remarks that are not conducive to common cooperation, it must be severely punished! Restaurants and teahouses must strengthen public opinion supervision. Whoever dares to argue about the country in public places and create chaos, no matter who he is, arrest it immediately!"
The president did not make any other arrangements except for this instruction. It seemed that the newspaper did not attract his attention. Yuan Keyun was wondering if he should remind his father about what he had omitted. However, he got a piece of news from Tang Tianxi that since his father read the newspaper, he had not been lucky enough to Shen Jinying. In addition, he issued instructions to all the officials in Beijing to strictly restrict the words and deeds of their children, and not allow these officials to act recklessly. He must behave in a regular manner, otherwise he must be severely punished.
