Chapter 744 Undercurrent
Yang Yuzhu never dreamed that she was the title of Major General of the Army, so she could resign. Although President Feng refused to stay and the mediation of Minister Cape Kangdi, the resignation was not really achieved. However, no matter what, she still scared her into a cold sweat.
No matter how brave she is, she dare not imagine that a little woman would be involved in such a thing. Her past experience made her realize the sinisterness of the officialdom, and any dispute could be wiped out by any corner of her.
Fortunately, there is a figure who is generous enough to cover up the storm for her. After Zhao Guanhou got a little understanding of the situation in the capital, he only smiled coldly, "If you don't want to do it, just don't do it. The Trinity that was agreed to have just been like this for a long time, it's really not embarrassing. Don't be afraid, you are already my woman, whoever dares to touch you, ask me first. I'm just a major general, I'll be sure first, I want to see why the Army Department doesn't approve my proposal."
At this time, the group was already on the return ship. Although Xu Youzheng sent three consecutive telegrams, asking Zhao Guanhou to stay in Miaojie and wait for other troops to arrive and change defenses, Zhao Guanhou still withdrew with all his troops on the grounds of Shandong military affairs. No soldier or soldier was left behind.
"The place in Miaojie is not a place that can be fought for now. Kolchak only blocks the sea route and thousands of troops will be a dead end. Stopping troops there is equivalent to fish at the bottom of a cauldron, and destruction is just a matter of the matter. Xiao Xu claims to be aware of the need for soldiers, but he still makes such a mistake. This person's military means are really not worth mentioning. The talents in Beiyang are already inferior to one crab. Xiao Xu's planner is much worse than those of Zhang Hefei and Zeng Wenzheng in the pre-Jin era."
Zhao Guanhou snorted coldly and looked down at the map. "Old Duan is also poor in planning across the country. Fu Liangfu is the governor of Hunan and leads troops into Hunan. He will inevitably have a conflict with Grandma Tan in Hunan. Although Grandma Tan is not a good person, Fu Liangfu's reputation is even worse, and the people of Hunan will never accept this governor. His battle with Grandma Tan will definitely suffer losses. Wu Zixin investigated Sichuan... I have learned about this person's ability, and asked him to be the governor of Sichuan... The robe buddy can scare him out of his courage as soon as he shines his sword. There is only one of the four great kings under Lao Duan, Cheng Yune, who can fight, but he cannot be used seriously. This time, the Civil War, I am not optimistic."
Cuiyu gave a bowl of ginseng tea, and then looked at the map. "I don't think it's just a matter of war. The Northern Army goes south and needs to borrow roads. The borrowed ones are all President Feng's old defenses. Even we women understand the strategy of destroying the country by false roads, let alone those generals. The Southern Army has few soldiers, so the harm is limited. On the contrary, there are many people from Duan, and several King Kongs want to be the generals. Compared with the Southern Army, the Third Supervisor of the Yangtze River, I am afraid that the Northern Army is more afraid of the Northern Army."
Zhao Guanhou smiled and hugged the beauty's slender waist. "My jade is so smart. I think you are just in charge of the secretariat and you should come to the General Staff to take up a position."
"You spare me. It's enough for me to take care of the secretariat. I have to calculate when a secretary is pregnant with you. I have to urge a concubine to take care of the general staff. I can't be busy..." Before he finished speaking, Zhao Guanhou silenced his mouth and used violent silence to make a fuss.
Yu Qing walked into the big dinner room and coughed, "Don't you just look at this, don't you think it's strange? Lao Duan, where did he get the money? He used military service in the south, and did he get such a sum of money? He was working on border defense and martial arts in the south. Shandong's recent work focus is on Fusang, and the intelligence system is sabotaging Fusang, but he ignored Lao Duan's place. It seems that he needs to check it out."
Zhao Guanhou smiled and said, "Old Duan is in the general, and he has authority in his hands and can always get money. But I guess he will spend all his money over time. Therefore, the battle between the north and the south is a peace, and fighting first and then harmony is an irreversible ending. No matter whether he is fighting or harmony, Shandong does not borrow a way, does not send troops, and does not pay for the rest, and they will toss the rest."
Shandong brought back more than 3,000 people from outside the pass this time. Among them, there were more than 800 rich men with a net worth of more than 500 yuan. Among the remaining people, there were about 1,000 soldiers, and the rest were so-called technicians. Among them were carpenters, tilers and other construction system technicians, as well as a small number of them worked in the Tielle factory and could control machines. The most valuable ones were Tielle technicians with a total of nearly 100 people.
These technicians worked in a shipyard controlled by Kolchak and knew how to manufacture and repair steamships. However, due to their origins, they were treated differently by the Kolchak forces. As this treatment became more and more strict, all they could choose was to escape.
Because they were born into a family that supported the current Tsar and liked to talk strange things, these people were treated badly under Kolchak's troops. The Lu army has always had a tradition of attaching importance to technicians, and the salary and treatment offered were very considerable, so these technicians were naturally happy to join.
With Princess Anna's relationship, Kolchak did not set up obstacles in personnel transfer. Furthermore, judging from Kolchak's own strength, the help of these technicians to stay was limited. With the great defeat of Prussia on the Western Front, the Eastern Front had to draw troops back to China, and the support of the Yu Tiel Restoration Movement was greatly reduced. Kolchak now urgently needs material assistance from Shandong, so these technicians do not attach much importance to it.
Shandong's own ships and leased Tiele ships formed a huge fleet. After the test of oceans and wind and waves, they successfully arrived in Yantai. After landing, they took the train to Jinan. There was no telegram to see along the way, and they knew nothing about the outside world's information. Fortunately, the local troops guarding along the way and the official office staff got on the bus to visit and reported the situation proved that everything in Shandong was normal.
On the contrary, Yu Qing received two rather unfavorable news from the intelligence personnel.
The situation in Hunan took a sharp turn. Tan Yankai, a former financial bureaucrat, may not be considered clever when using the methods of righteousness, but when it comes to playing power, he is definitely considered a master. Duan Zhiquan ordered his position to be removed from his position as a military commander and changed to the position of provincial commander, and he understood that once this matter was done, he would become a clawless crab without soldiers or generals. This provincial commander would not be long.
Therefore, after Zhong Yang's order was issued, he publicly stated that the governor was his mother-in-law and the governor was his daughter-in-law. He was used to being a mother-in-law and could not become a daughter-in-law. He simply did not even governor and sent a report to resign. However, before resigning, he had to do a few trivial things to benefit his hometown.
1. All office workers in the main office have doubled their salaries.
2. Make up for the previous wages and military pay.
3. If the funds are insufficient, I will raise myself from the merchants by selling the public property owned by the Provincial Government. At one time, I want to sell all the properties in the Hunan Government, and all the proceeds will be distributed to office staff and soldiers.
As an official, he was just for food and clothing. Grandma Tan directly knocked over the dog food bowl. Everyone couldn't get enough food. It was a big plan to lose their family. Promotion and salary increase, and his wife were all three major hard things in life. Hunan officers and soldiers were all suffering. They cried so hard that they could rob the world. They wished that Grandma Tan would go down a few more times and make a few more money. Naturally, they warmly welcomed Fu Liangfu. As long as they did not cut their wages and did not change the status of the current personnel's official position, we would welcome Supervisor Fu with both hands.
But the problem is, if you don’t cut your salary or change your current official position, why should Fu Liangfu go to Hunan to serve as the governor? He, as the governor, accompanied Duan, played mahjong at the Anfu Club for a long time, and lost more than 100,000 yuan before he was exchanged. With Duan’s card-playing skills, it is not easy to lose more than 100,000 yuan in itself. It is very hard for Fu, the governor, to come, and how could he not recover the cost?
Hunanese were dissatisfied with Fu. After he took office, he said that he did not need firecrackers to welcome him in order to show his favor. As a result, local residents in Hunan said that Fu was as timid as a mouse, afraid of listening to the sound of firecrackers. This shows how conflicts were seen. In addition, Grandma Tan left such a mess, where could Fu take it? Soon, Liu Jianfan, guarding Lingling, Hunan, and Lin Xiumei, commander of the Second Brigade of the Provincial Army's First Division, issued a telegram, and the war between the north and the south officially began.
The Beiyang Army sent Fan Yuzhang and Wang Shaofu to form a siege army to sweep Hunan. As a result, these two divisions had close relationships with Feng Yuzhang and did not support the use of troops in Hunan. In addition, Fu Liangfu regarded himself as a confidant in the general, so he did not give face to the two division commanders. After conquering Hengyang and Baoshan, all the entourages he brought from the capital (of course, these entourages were paid, and the governor Fu could not rely on the account), and the two division commanders did not get any benefit.
So, these two divisions became staunch pacifists overnight. They called for anti-war and refused to execute the combat order. The combat unit in Fu Liangfu turned against him, which scared him and the provincial chief Zhou Zhaoxiang fled with the seal overnight and became the fugitive supervisor.
The situation in Hunan was completely corrupted. The Hunan-Guangxi coalition formed by the Southern Army's main office took the opportunity to counterattack and had captured Baoqing, Hengyang, Hengshan, Xiangtan and other places. The army was progressing smoothly, and the gap in momentum was even more obvious. Although Duan Zhiquan was ordering to increase troops, there was still no improvement in the situation.
The second bad news came from the activity of Shandong intelligence agencies. When they heard about a news that King Su and King Gong Puwei were restless again.
The Sachang Rebellion in Fuso was temporarily declared over. The army finally pushed Prince Mikasa Mikasa to the throne of the emperor with powerful force. However, at the same time, Prince Mikasa Mikasa had to designate Prince Takamatsu as his heir, in exchange for the navy's compromise in this way.
The domestic turmoil did not end with peace talks between the sea and the land. The anger of the poor and the lower-class soldiers was ignited and it was not so easy to suppress. The domestic turmoil will last for a considerable period of time.
However, without a large-scale civil war, the funds of the chaebol do not have to be invested in the army. Because Fusang's own weakening at this time, the one who is most worried about is that China takes the opportunity to rise. Therefore, Fusang puts his attention to Gonghe again, and it is impossible to intervene by force. What can be adopted is a roundabout way.
A large number of weapons produced due to the previous civil strife have now become useless and are just for sale and cash out. King Su and King Gong saw the war between the north and the south, and believed that this was the beginning of the common destruction. The two joined forces with a group of backbone of the royal family, mortgaged their mines and shares, and borrowed loans from several consortiums in Fusang to purchase Fusang's weapons and ammunition with funds, and hired Fusang instructors to prepare to train a unit and take the opportunity to incur the trouble.
Such a large economic activity cannot escape Shandong's spies, but how to deal with them is not something that intelligence agencies can do. Among the intelligence personnel, many of them are bannermen. Even if they do not want to restore the throne, they still have a lot of sympathy for the actions of King Su and others. Moreover, they have to consider the relationship between the Ten Princess, who dares to issue orders to deal with it casually?
Zhao Guanhou did not care about the battle situation in Hunan, but looked at the information about King Su and frowned.
"Shen once he was troubled for a while, we were dealt with. I'm still here this time? I guess if he fails this time, he will be penniless. We had a good relationship at the beginning, and we had drunk and had dinner in his mansion. Good princess, you talk about this..."
Yu Qing didn't say anything, but only slashed the slender jade fingers under several names, and seemed to be unable to make a decision for a while. After a long time, she said, "He bought all the money and fired up the boats. It's a pity that a loyal minister should help him. But Xiaobao... Fat girls all need a good environment to study. How long does the children have to study? My husband, let Cuiyu take care of the information, let us change our positions, and I will take care of the secretariat. Those little wives who are unnamed must teach them some rules. After this time, let Cuiyu take the idea of this matter."
Seeing Yuqing get up and leave the carriage, Yuzhu hesitated a little, "Will this... not be very good? Should I recover it?"
"No, Princess is a wise person. She knows my position, but she cannot attack her compatriots. So she lets go temporarily is a good thing for anyone."
He looked at Yang Yuzhu and suddenly smiled
"Yuzhu, I know your ability in one aspect, but I don't know what you have in other aspects? It's like a robbery, can you do it?"
Yang Yuzhu raised her head
"Snatch things? That's a good show for swordsmen. When Gunono ran to the world, he had never robbed anything. What do you say, just say the name and place, and I promise I can get it."
"It's these weapons. This time, there are a group of military advisers from Fusang. The old accounts of the Eastern Japanese and Shandong have not been cleared yet. I don't want to see these people come to China to make trouble alive. Besides, the total price of this batch of arms is more than 3 million yuan, and there are only 27,000 rifles alone. If you can get them... you will get them ten thousand."
"No!" Yang Yuzhu refused neatly, "I want 15,000 units. The Fifth Division of the Shandong Provincial Army has an organization and no arms, so it's time to make up for it. Also, if you need a document from the Army Department to rob this weapon, can you get it?"
