Zhang Chuan, who was watching with cold eyes and thoughtfully, said:

"In the current situation, we can make full use of the power of the revolutionaries and let the revolutionaries in Shanghai instigate the third uncle to revolt. It is best to cause contradictions or conflicts between them, so as to contain his energy and suppress his

With the development momentum, he may still make mistakes, and then he will need the help of the commander-in-chief."

"Also, Yuan Gongbao has resigned and returned home, becoming a fisherman. The commander-in-chief can send someone to express his condolences. This person can be used in the future. The military strength of the Beiyang Department is still in the hands of Yuan Gongbao. We will contact everyone who can be contacted.

, to counter the rise of Third Guye."

After all, Zhang Chuan is a green wolf engaged in intelligence, good at analysis and induction, but he speaks in a rather subtle way. In front of Li Cunzhi and everyone, he respectfully calls Chen Tianhua the third uncle, which shows that in his heart, he still regards the other party as one of his masters.

It is also more in line with the current situation.

Today, a few people met in secret to discuss. It was a warning in advance to prevent problems before they happened. It was far from the point where the two sides would break up. Maybe they would not break up in the future. It is hard to say whether they would merge into one, because so far, Chen Tianhua has never made such a decision.

If there is a case, it is obviously against Li Shuai's wishes, or it is obviously disobedient and unfilial.

What exactly does Chen Tianhua think and how does he position himself? I am afraid that no one of the five here, including Li Cunzhi himself, dares to say that as a subordinate, he can only act based on his master's eyes and avoid overestimating others and drawing random conclusions.

Moreover, this kind of situation is a family matter within the family. Outsiders are trying to persuade you to make peace but not to leave. Everyone is taboo on internal strife.

"Well, that makes some sense. Let Zhang Chuan handle the affairs of the revolutionaries. I think Sun Yong will go to Anyang to express condolences to Yuan Gongbao..."

"I understand, Commander!"

"As you command!"

Sun Yong and Zhang Chuan both nodded in agreement.

Li Pinzhang on the side said puzzledly:

"Father, the shares of the Li family and the Li family in Fengzhong Bank account for 15% of the total capital. Now they are held by my younger sister. How is this different from putting it in Chen Tianhua's name? After all, they are husband and wife.

One body is not the same. In my opinion, we should send our own directors to the company and let Qiuzi go and separate this part of the shares."

After hearing this, Li Cunzhi glared at his son dissatisfied.

Qiuzi was a Japanese girl Li Pinzhang met when he was studying in Japan. When he returned to China, he brought her back and became his wife.

Li Cunzhi believed that the daughter-in-law of the principal wife should be a daughter-in-law of a noble and wealthy family in China, rather than an Oriental woman. However, Li Pinzhang disagreed and insisted on making Qiuzi his principal wife. Maybe he wanted to rely on the power of the Oriental people.

Now, the think tanks around Li Pinzhang, including the instructors and teachers of the Armed Forces Academy, are all Japanese. Not long ago, they bought two armored gunboats from the Japanese island countries. Both have a displacement of about 1,000 tons. Patrolling the Yangtze River is okay, but coastal defense operations are required.

The tonnage is still a bit small, but the key is the price. Compared with similar German and British gunboats, the price-performance ratio is still about 20% more expensive than the Japanese ones.

As the successor of the Li family, the third generation elite of the Li family relied too much on the Japanese, which made Li Cunzhi very unhappy. After all, both Li Hongzhang and Li Jingfang, father and son of the Li family, had been humiliated by the Japanese, including the disastrous Sino-Japanese War defeat and the

For the Treaty of Shimonoseki, it was the Li family and his son who took the blame. This hatred of the family and the country must not be forgotten.

According to Li Cunzhi's idea, Japan developed imperialism, and its technological and economic strength was stronger than that of the Qing Dynasty. The ancestral motto of using foreigners to control foreigners could be appropriately borrowed and introduced from the Japanese people, technology, and even equipment. However, it was absolutely impossible to rely entirely on it. This is not the same as

What’s the difference between it and Humupi?

"Hmph, Qianhua is your biological sister. No matter what she says, she will never betray the Li family and the Li family ancestors. And Qiuzi hum... I think let it go. Qianhua will continue to take care of our 15% shares.

, what does she owe our Li Mansion for these years of generous returns? Go down and think about it carefully, Pinzhang, your recent performance has disappointed me."

Being glared and scolded by Li Cunzhi, Li Pinzhang immediately dwarfed him by half. He felt ashamed and annoyed, and became more and more jealous of Chen Tianhua.

…

The imperial edict was issued, and Chen Tianhua's goal was fully achieved. He immediately asked Zheng Kun, Mao Xin and other cronies to lead the entire team of Chongming Autonomous Region Political Affairs Committee to Zhongxing Town, intensify efforts to complete the Governor's Yamen project, improve the responsibilities of each functional department, and focus on

According to last year's development plan for Chongming, it will be implemented in an all-round way and normal production and living order will be restored.

At the same time, orders were given to expand the original Chongming County seat into Chongming New City.

While the government affairs were being implemented, the Hailing Naval Base was officially listed as the East China Sea Fleet Admiral's Office.

Nominate Yu Dapeng as deputy admiral of the East China Sea Fleet, from second-grade military attache to lieutenant general, with powers and responsibilities as acting admiral.

Appointed Ding Changdong as chief of staff of the fleet, with the rank of major general; Lang Zhongping was appointed as the left commander of the Navy of the East China Sea Fleet, with the rank of major general.

In addition to the East China Sea Fleet base, Chen Tianhua decided to set up garrison troops on Chongming Island, Changxing Island and other islands. He decided to leave Hong Asi in Chongming.

"General Hong, thank you for your hard work!"

This time the plot to seize Chongming was successful, and Hong Ashui should be the first to take the lead. When they met, Chen Tianhua looked at the famous former surrendered general with a smile, greeted him warmly, and called him a general, which was really surprising.

"How dare you, how dare you, this battle is all the overall planning of the general, and the subordinates are just following the plan." Hong Asi stood at attention and said humbly.

He was not without pride in his heart. Within a few months of Chongming, he not only perfectly completed the important tasks assigned by the general, but also formed a team of more than 4,000 people in a short period of time with more than a thousand backbones in southern Jiangxi as the core.

of elite soldiers.

"Any meritorious deeds will be rewarded, and mistakes will be punished. You don't have to be humble!" Chen Tianhua said:

"With Chongming Sandbank and surrounding islands, we can build up the East China Sea Fleet on a large scale. At the same time, we also want to set up an army base here, exactly like Meiguang New City. Hong Asi, the governor intends to set up a fourth army brigade with a strength of 5,000 people.

, under its jurisdiction are two marine regiments, a shore artillery battalion, a field artillery battalion, a logistics battalion, an engineering company, a medical hospital, etc., as well as seven coastal defense fortresses. Are you determined to serve as the top commander of this brigade? "

As soon as these words came out, Hong Asi was overjoyed. The hint from the leader Xu was coming true step by step. He fell to one knee on the ground, cupped his fists and said loudly: "Dare to die on the battlefield for the general! Go through fire and water, no matter what!"

"

"Okay, your fourth brigade is named Chongming Garrison Brigade, Major General Hong. You must work closely with Lieutenant General Yu Dapeng, strengthen training, and be ready to fight at any time."

"You will have confidence in the end!" Hong Ahsi said loudly.

Unexpectedly, he is now truly a general, a third-rank military attaché in the imperial court, but he is deeply grateful and admired by Xu Yunyuan. Of course, there is also the recommender, Chief of Staff Ji Chunsheng. Without his recommendation, he would still be in Gannan Manxing.

It’s time to stack up for retirement!

At the age of forty, living in a golden basin is equivalent to being imprisoned.
