Chapter 17: Confidants?

"Get a share?" Xu Shuzheng stopped and looked back at Chang Ruiqing: "How to divide it?"

Chang Ruiqing has been thinking about the Model Camp and the Red Brigade for the past period of time, and has thrown the participation of the war out of the sky. Now looking at Xu Shuzheng who is looking at him with inquiring eyes, he can only use his brain quickly and quickly figure out a solution.

"Zhenggong, the students think that the governors, division commanders, and brigade commanders of the Beiyang system still support Mr. Zhi. However, such support is not absolute obedience after all. If they are asked to support things that are harmful or unhealthy to themselves, it would be very difficult, such as the battle army. These vassal states with self-respecting troops naturally do not want a large number of strong soldiers completely controlled by the center. Unless this battle army can also allow them to share the benefits, so that their strength and the strength of the central government will increase together, and with the prestige of the boss Zhi, they will naturally support the battle. With their support, the president and Congress may not dare to object anymore."

Xu Shuzheng nodded. Although China is now wearing a sign of democratic constitutionalism, it is actually a gun that determines everything. The British and French powers are also aware of this. Therefore, as long as Duan Zhi's decision to participate in the war is unanimously supported by the Beiyang Army, they should recognize it. As long as there is support from foreigners, the president and parliament are not a problem at all. At worst, they can launch a military coup and overthrow it by force!

However, he was reluctant to let all the military leaders of the Beiyang system come to the war to get a share of the pie. Isn’t this warrior just used to suppress this lawless warlord? If they also grew stronger in the process of organizing the warriors, wouldn’t the central government still be unable to suppress these vassal states? Thinking of this, his eyebrows gradually became a clump.

Chang Ruiqing looked at him in a dilemma, smiled slightly, and said, "Zheng Gong, even if the participating troops allowed all the vassals of the Beiyang system to get a share of the piety, the benefits of stopping the payment of Boxer's money and increasing tariffs are all from the central government. And after the troops of those vassals expanded, where will the military pay be paid? It is not that they have to rely on the central government's subsidies, and part of their military pay is in the hands of the central government, so their attitude towards the central government will naturally be much more respectful."

Xu Shuzheng was also aware of the people. When Chang Ruiqing reminded him, he immediately understood the power of the army. The soldiers were gathered by pay. Whether it was the central force or the private soldiers of the Beiyang vassal states, they had to rely on a large amount of foreign money to maintain. As long as the central government had money and the vassal states had no money, the vassal states had to listen to the central government! Besides, those generals, division commanders, brigade commanders, etc. were also large warlords coaxing the little warlords, and they were all the mothers' masters! As long as the central government had money, it would not be difficult to buy them.

He smiled at Chang Ruiqing and said, "Yaoru, you are indeed resourceful... You have been practicing soldiers well these days, and you are still a talented civil and military talent! Very good. When the military joining the war this time, your model battalion will be expanded into a model regiment, directly under the command of the military joining the war. You are the leader of the model regiment!" As he said that, he patted Chang Ruiqing's arm, "Don't just focus on training troops in the future. The Army Department should also walk around more. They all know that you are my person, and no one dares to stop you. Just come to me if you have any problems."

The meaning of this win-win is very clear. Although Xu Shuzheng is a little arrogant, he seems to look down on anyone in the Beiyang system. However, people with real skills are still willing to win over some of them, otherwise he would not be able to reach such a high position now.

"Thank you for your cultivation." Chang Ruiqing still had a humble expression as usual. He stood at attention, saluted Xu Shuzheng, and shouted: "Students would like to follow the leader of Zheng's stallion!"

When Xu Shuzheng saw Chang Ruiqing's statement, he nodded with satisfaction and smiled, "Do it well, your future will be indispensable. Well, it won't delay your training. Our Army Department has a lot of things, so let's get here today. By the way, I may have to go to Xuzhou in two days, so you can come with you. We haven't returned to our hometown for many years." After that, he nodded and smiled at Chang Ruiqing, then turned around and left. Chang Ruiqing sent the deputy army leader all the way to the gate of Nanyuan Military Camp.

Seeing the Xu Daci's car gradually fading away, a smug smile appeared on the corner of Chang Ruiqing's mouth. Although he did not want to sacrifice for Beiyang, isn't he still holding the Beiyang job at the moment? With such a Xu Daci, at least in the 13th Division, no one dares to bully him! Many people in the 13th Division saw this long talk with Xu Shuzheng. Master Li may soon know that Master Li? The 20% military pay and a company's vacancy are also time to make up for him.

...

After seeing off Xu Shuzheng, Chang Ruiqing started to deal with a colleague in the 13th Army Division with a spring breeze-like smile. They dragged him to a banquet and poured a few pots of good wine. Although there were signs of success, it was not a good idea that it was a villain who was successful. After the social event, when he returned to his model camp, it was almost time to turn off the lights. However, Chang Ruiqing did not plan to go to bed, but instead summoned his "Four Great Kings" to the battalion for a meeting and deployed the next stage of revolutionary work.

Didn’t Xu Shuzheng say that he would take Chang Ruiqing to Xuzhou before leaving? It was the old nest of Zhang Xun and Zhang Bianshuai, the leader of the Army League. At this extraordinary period, Xu Shuzheng could not go back to his hometown to visit relatives (Xu Shuzheng is from Xiaoxian). Chang Ruiqing guessed that the Deputy Chief Xu was going to do behind-the-scenes transactions with the Army League. He brought him with him on the one hand to win over and on the other hand to ask him to give advice on him? But I don’t know when I will come back here, so the model camp must be arranged.

After the "Four Great Kings" sat down separately, Chang Ruiqing first said the matter of Xu Shuzheng coming to "inspection" from beginning to end, then looked at the few people with a smile and said, "Comrades, I guess Xu Shuzheng is negotiating with the governor's army this time to go back to Xuzhou, and I will follow him. I can't come back for ten days and half a month, so some things need to be arranged." He paused, picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself a bowl of barley tea, took a sip, and then said, "The team has basically been sorted out. The military commander of the 13th Division has just said hello to me and owed the 20% salary of our model battalion, and we will get 10% salary in the future. There is also the fourth company that owes the troop, which can be made up next month. I want to recommend Zhang Wenbai (Zhang Zhizhong) to serve. Do you have any objections?"

When Chang Ruiqing saw that the "Four Great Kings" were all nodding there, he continued: "Since everyone has no objection, let's make a decision first. The other officers of the Fourth Company also try to arrange for students from Baoding to arrange all the trainees from each company and platoon. After the specific organization is completed, you will discuss and draw out the list..." Speaking of this, his eyebrows frowned slightly and took a breath: "There are all things that are easy to deal with in the Model Camp and the Iron Blood Comrades Association. The Red Brigade is really worried. Although the thirty brothers have been recruited, they have to spend some time in training and management. Do you have any suggestions?"

After all, the Red Brigade is a "revolutionary armed force" that cannot be seen. Now it is training with the Model Battalion of the 13th Division in the Beiyang Army sequence, which is indeed a bit risky. Fortunately, the Beiyang is very careless in the management of the troops and also acquiesced to the development of private forces in the team openly and secretly, so there are also loopholes to take advantage of.

"The thirty people selected into the Red Brigade will definitely not be able to train with the team anymore, otherwise the secret will be leaked sooner or later." The first suggestion was Bai Chongxi, who was known as "Little Zhuge" in history, so this little thing will naturally not defeat him. He glanced at Chang Ruiqing and continued: "I suggest that these thirty people can be trained in the name of the battalion pistol platoon. It is best that one of the five of us personally serves as the leader of the pistol platoon, responsible for daily training and management."

Chang Ruiqing nodded with a smile: "This method is good and also conforms to the custom of Beiyang... I will ask the pistol platoon and equip them with box cannons. I will go to the quarantine officer to make peace. With Xu Shuzheng's face, I should be able to get 30 short guns. As for the platoon leader of the pistol platoon, I think Wu Yuxun will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be
