Chapter 123 Shanghai's ambitions

"Yang is so happy that Brother Baili can come."

Next to the ruins of Chu King City in Yunmeng, Hubei, Yang Qiu and Jiang Fangzhen shook hands hard and said solemnly: "The National Defense Force needs talents like Brother Baili. Only a continuous stream of talents can make this army truly a national defense force. This is my dream. I hope Brother Baili can join in and let us realize it together."

Jiang Fangzhen smiled faintly: "The commander is too polite. Baili is just Zhao She, and his words on paper are not as good as you take risks in person. I am really afraid that the commander will not be satisfied with the important tasks of the Army University."

"Brother Baili is humble. How could he be an unknown person if he can serve under General Hindenburg?"

"Oh? The commander also knows General Hindenburg?" Jiang Fangzhen was a little curious. Unexpectedly, Yang Qiu also knew the famous German army general. He said: "The years of living in Germany were the happiest period of a hundred miles. He was free to join the army without any troubles and had a fulfilling life in training and study."

"It's great to be able to do what you want, but it's a pity. Such years are really rare." Yang Qiu was also inspired to walk towards a earth tower next to him. Jiang Fangzhen followed behind, and Lei Meng and others dispersed their warnings.

The third-story earth tower has been weathered for many years, and it is impossible to see its towering appearance. The top of the tower has been cut to calm. Standing on it, he raised his telescope, the last group of Beiyang soldiers two kilometers away were leaving Hubei with guns on their backs. After receiving news of Beiyang's retreat yesterday, Yang Qiu immediately rushed to the front line. When Jiang Fangzhen learned about it, he simply waited here without leaving. When he saw a 75mm Krupp mountain cannon left under the mule and horse, the soldiers who were monitoring the retreating national defense army could not say what they felt, he suddenly turned his head and asked: Are the commander a little regretful?"

"Repent? Yes." Yang Qiu raised his head and said, "I have the strength to eat Wang Zhen's army now, but I have to let the tiger go back to the mountain."

Jiang Fangzhen handed the telescope to the guard behind him who was close to protecting himself and said, "It's better to let go. After all, if you want to eat Wang Shizhen's four associations, the commander will lose at least an elite division. The National Defense Forces are starting up and cannot bear such a big loss in a short period of time. What's more, if you destroy nearly half of Wang Shizhen's Beiyang troops and throw them into Hubei, you may end up profiting downstream of the Yangtze River! The commander said Baili was right?"

Yang Qiu was shocked. He guessed that his thoughts were not strange. What was strange was that this person dared to say it in front of him! How long has it been since I heard such words? Hehe smiled: "Now I am really at ease to hand over Army University to Brother Baili."

"The commander should not make a decision, but Baili still has something to say in front of it."

"Please say it."

Jiang Fangzhen was not polite at all and asked neatly: "The National Defense Forces were first established. Although there were many casualties and injuries in the battle with Beiyang, they had obtained rare practical experience, and they also had the experience of fighting against elite Beiyang! Last night, they chatted with Ziqing and the others and learned that the commander had good training and the tactical textbooks were a bit messy, but they could roughly do a lot. This was the first time Baili saw it.

So I believe that as long as this army is given a period of time, the commander will definitely be able to train a strong army with the means of the commander. What will the commander do at that time?"

Yang Qiu looked at him and secretly admired him. He was worthy of being a man who dared to shoot at his chest. Regardless of whether his aura would fade away with time, at least the young man standing in front of him is full of the pride, confidence and spirit that Chinese people rarely have in this era! So he smiled and picked up a few stones one by one and placed them on the mound in front of him. He moved very slowly, and he said while putting it on: "British, Germany, France, the United States, Italy, Russia..." Finally, he put one on and said heavily: "And we China!"

Jiang Fangzhen's eyes flashed but soon calmed down and smiled silently: "Commander, you seem to have forgotten our neighbors, it is now a powerful country."

"Yes. Actually, I admire Japan very much. In just a few decades, from a poor island country to a powerful country with broad interests in Asia, but..." Yang Qiu spread his hands, and there was the last stone in his palm. He put the stone next to China and squeezed it together, as if he had done something great. Then he turned to look at Jiang Fangzhen's eyes and asked, "Does Brother Baili think Asia can accommodate two powerful countries?"

"I can't tolerate it."

Jiang Fangzhen looked at the deep eyes quietly and couldn't help but raise his chin slightly: "Please remember what he said to Baili today! I will do my best. It is necessary to ensure that the Army University has sufficient education funds every year to ensure that enough students are delivered. We cannot just select people from the army. We must open our minds to recruit any young people who are willing to wear military uniforms. I will try my best to teach the students you teach to me. If I am lazy, I will punish him. If I can't learn well, I will let him drop out. If I don't obey, I will fire him no matter how big the backend he has! Of course, if I fail to fulfill my responsibility... Then I will punish myself!"

"Do I have any choice?" Yang Qiu laughed, and used his hand to smooth the mound with his stones and said with a smile: "Let's go, take you to meet the first batch of students. I have some things to deal with."

"Yes, it's time to deal with some things." Jiang Fangzhen also laughed heartily: "I remember, Mr. Sun seems to be coming back soon, right?"

Yang Qiu smiled while walking: "It's not that Mr. Sun wants to come back, but that everyone wants to share Tang Monk's meat, so we naturally cannot fall behind."

"Commander, you..." Jiang Fangzhen discovered that Yang Qiu was so funny for the first time and smiled bitterly: "This analogy can only be said to be too appropriate!" After saying that, he continued to ask: "I heard Ziqing say that the commander has purchased a large number of equipment to rebuild Hanyang, and to build new industries and hydropower plants in Sichuan?"

When Yang Qiu heard something from him, he asked, "Yes, why is Brother Baili proficient in this matter?"

Jiang Fangzhen shook his head very quickly: "I'm not proficient. But there is one thing Baili knows. If you want to build such a large industry, what you need most is not money but workers! Since the commander is going to Shanghai, don't miss the old workers in Gaochang Temple."

At this point, there is no need to hide some things. Yang Qiu asked back: "I have thought about it, but unfortunately I have no way to ask for help. What is Brother Baili's idea?"

"Support Chen Qimei as the governor of Zhejiang!"

This sentence made Yang Qiu pause suddenly, turned his head and swept over Jiang Fangzhen's face over and over again, and then he realized that he still underestimated this person! Haha, "What a pity. I should take out two German equipment masters to exchange! Brother Baili, it's a loss."

"Ha ha."

In the Shanghai Governor's Office, Chen Qimei leaned on the sofa and happily burned cigarettes. Several big smoke guns next to her were also sucking the clouds and spitting mist. After a long time, everyone was satisfied and regained their spirits. He was afraid that when people came to smell the smell of opium, they would gossip and talk, "Zhiqing, go open the window for ventilation."

"Brother Yingshi, you are really, aren't you just taking a few puffs of cigarettes? Why do you do so carefully every time?" The person who spoke was that after Zeng Quande helped Chen Qimei as the governor, he was already the chief police officer of the Chinese District of Shanghai. He took advantage of the revolutionary opportunity to get two votes. He married two concubines in just one month, so he became much more angry, but the habit of calling him prince whenever he met everyone.

Chen Qimei glared at him with a grudge and shouted: "A Shanghai Police Chief, are you satisfied?"

Zeng Quande, a person with no ability but his obedience is first-class. He quickly straightened his back and asked, "What? Could it be that I still have the chance to be the general general of the national police?"

"That's not necessarily." After a man in a military uniform sat next to him said, he stretched his waist and stood up to the window and looked outside. He was Huang Fu, who had run away from Beijing with Li Shucheng. After breaking up, he came to Shanghai and served as the chief of staff of the Shanghai Governor's Office, and also served as the commander of the Second Division of the Shanghai Army. He also burned incense and became sworn brothers with Chen Qimei and Jiang Zhiqing. So as soon as he spoke, Zeng Quande's eyes lit up. He now knew what power represents best. He swallowed his saliva and asked, "Brother Yingbai, have you made any big moves?"

Huang Xu didn't answer, and he turned his head and asked Jiang Zhiqing: "Have Huang Keqiang and Song Dunchu gone to Nanjing?"

Jiang Zhiqing was handsome and talented, and he was very stern when he spoke: "After being beaten out by Yang Qiu, he stayed in Jiujiang for seven or eight days. He went there the next day of Nanjing's liberation. I heard that Huang Yiou even encouraged Jiangsu to hold a welcome ceremony to enter the city. Now there is a peace talk in Shanghai. I guess the two of them may come back. Brother Yingshi, you have to be careful."

"This little red guy, I'm not afraid of jokes if I don't have the ability." Hearing this, Chen Qimei snorted coldly. Huang Yiou is Huang Keqiang's son, and his character and ability are a few streets worse than him. No wonder he didn't like him. He waved his hand and said, "What are you worried about? Is it true that Huang Keqiang wants to steal my position as governor? Don't worry, he can't look down on a governor's chair in his eyes."

Huang Fu smiled. He knew that Chen Qimei and Huang Song had a strong personal grudge, so he asked in a different way: "How is the Zhejiang side?"

"Tang Shouqian is a constitutionalist. A few days ago, after hearing that Yang Qiu supported a batch of weapons to the Zhejiang army, he sent Jiang Fangzhen to Hubei.

This incident made Tao Huanqing very angry and heard that he was organizing a liberation meeting to discuss replacing the governor of Zhejiang. My mother is so happy! I think he wants to be the governor himself." Jiang Zhiqing said it well, but when he mentioned Tao Chengzhang, he couldn't help but scold her.

After becoming sworn brothers, Huang Fu heard about some of the grievances between the two of them. Jiang Zhiqing's lead in anti-Qing and revolution was Xu Xilin, so he always regarded Xu Xilin as his elder brother and participated in the charge of the female hero Jianhu, which was very passionate! But unexpectedly, Tao Chengzhang later encouraged Xu Xilin to rebel. Because the latter was not prepared, he had to start a hasty act and was finally killed, which implicated Qiu Jin. Even Zhang Taiyan later said that Xu Xilin's death was "really Tao Chengzhang's forced", so the two formed a deep bond. If Chen Qimei had not held it down, he would have killed Tao Chengzhang who had traveled to Shanghai and Zhejiang many times.

Although Jiang Zhiqing was young, Huang Fu saw that this man was decisive and smart, and was worthy of making friends with. So he walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "If you do big things, don't think too much about the past, there will always be a way to deal with him."

Chen Qimei knew these things best, and he and Tao Chengzhang had a lot of personal grudges. Back then, because they wanted to establish relationships with the gang to support the revolution, they gradually learned to smoke big smoke. As a result, Tao Chengzhang ran to Japan to find Sun Wen to curse himself directly in person. Now it is really hateful that he is wearing big bayberry sores, which is really annoying! Now he heard that he actually wanted to hit the position of Zhejiang, and his eyes were red! You must know that he had already salivated the position of the governor of Zhejiang. As long as he took this position and merged Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he could be like the three upstream provinces. With the prosperity of Zhejiang and Shanghai, who would not look at his face in the future? Even Yang Qiu, who is at its peak now, must be polite, because he had to buy arms and weapons from foreigners and go to Wusongkou to transfer luck.

"Hmph!" Huang Fu heard that Tang Shouqian actually gave Jiang Fangzhen to Yang Qiu, and sneered: "Zhejiang is going to move too! Jiang Baili's big mouth is still a bit real, and now it's a waste of money Yang Qiu!"

"Tao Huanqing is not an expert. He shouted for the Northern Expedition all day long and took the opportunity to set up a fundraising committee for the Northern Expedition. I think he just wanted to make money!" Jiang Zhiqing said angrily: "Now Wu Tingfang and Tang Shaoyi are both in a negotiation, and there is no way to talk about it for ten days and half a month. The Zhejiang army can fight and all the people who can fight have gone to Nanjing. Li Liejun heard that he is going back to Jiangxi. In my opinion, it would be better to ask me to find someone to kill Tao Huanqing. Then, Brother Yingshi, you can learn from Yang Qiu to come to Yang Qiu to come [Changsha September 14], and let Brother Huang's second division be opened to fight back in the name of stabilizing Zhejiang. My Fifth Regiment will also go together. If it really doesn't work, you will gather all the brothers of the Huzhou Gang, and you don't believe that you can't handle Zhejiang."

Zeng Quande finally heard the probable thing, and his heart was beating. Zhejiang! If Chen Qimei really got Zhejiang, his position would have to be promoted a few times, and it would be fine to marry a few more concubines. Maybe there was one in the new government. The more he thought about it, he would be more excited. He would definitely show his loyalty to this opportunity. He immediately patted his chest and said, "I don't have many princes who know so much, but I'll say, if you really want to do it, brother, my police brigade will definitely be in the front."

Chen Qimei sniffed, Jiang Zhiqing's words made sense. Since Yang Qiu could kill "Grandma Tan" on the excuse of Jiao Dafeng's incident and then build Sichuan in the name of supporting the revolution, why can't it be possible to go to his own side? Find someone to secretly kill Tao Chengzhang Yi. You can also track down the "murderer" and kill him back to his hometown Zhejiang!

The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was a good opportunity. He stood up excitedly and pulled off the shirt collar buttons. The three remaining eyes in the room were all attracted by him. Just as everyone was about to speak, a sudden burst of knocking on the door came from the door, which scared him and quickly gave Jiang Zhiqing a wink. The latter opened the door and shouted: "Who? I don't know that the governor and the chief of staff are discussing. Zu Tao! When did you come back from Hubei?"

In Jiang Zhiqing's surprise, Chen Guofu appeared at the door in a straight suit and shouted when he saw him: "Uncle San."

It was not surprising that Jiang Zhiqing called Chen Guofu the third uncle. Many people already knew that Chen Guofu was Chen Qimei's nephew, so it was appropriate to call him third uncle. What he was strange was that he heard not long ago that this kid went to Hankou with hundreds of students from Nanjing Main Normal School, and he was doing well. Why did he suddenly come back? Chen Qimei immediately asked: "Zu Tao, why are you? Does Yang Qiu want you? Tell my uncle that I have too many empty seats here, and you can be the Minister of Military Affairs."

Although Chen Guofu is Chen Qimei's nephew, he is much better than this uncle. He smiled and said, "Uncle, stop joking. Commander Yang and Minister Zhang are very nice to me. My nephew is now the Secretariat of the Military Affairs Department of the National Defense Forces."

"Good! This is a big name! Isn't it very busy when I work in the Secretariat of the Military Affairs Department? Why are you still free to come back to see your uncle?" Zeng Quande also recognized Chen Guofu and smiled and said, "Isn't it because he fell in love with a girl from a girl and borrowed money to watch a movie with your uncle? Haha..."

The young Chen Guofu blushed. The only time he secretly borrowed money from Chen Qimei in his life was to watch a movie with his friends from Nanjing Girls' School. Unfortunately, the two broke up later. Unexpectedly, they were brought out as a joke again today. He waved his hand quickly: "Uncle Zeng, don't laugh at me anymore. This time I was ordered to come to Shanghai to fight an outpost."

"Tap outpost?" Chen Qimei put away her smile and asked urgently: "Who is there to call outpost?"

Chen Guofu proudly raised his chest: "Who else, of course, is our commander! He has decided to set off for Shanghai in two days."

Yang Qiu is coming to Shanghai?!
