Hearing this, everyone present changed, especially Li Jinfu, Zhao Jishi, Sun Desheng and others from the previous patrol camp. They didn't realize this before, but now after Yuan Su mentioned it, these people have
A bit enlightened. :Reading novels[ ]
If, as Yuan Su said, internal problems arise, it will be a disaster that outweighs the gains and losses.
Although Li Jinfu, Zhao Jishi and others are now Yuan Su's subordinates and must obey Yuan Su's orders, the group of people in their hands are brothers who have followed them for many years, and they are the capital for them to gain a foothold. What if something happens?
One rat droppings spoiled the pot of soup, and in the end it affected people like them, and that was unspeakable suffering.
So after everyone looked at each other in disbelief, they gradually turned their attention to He Qigong, Guo Wenyuan, and Ge Jinzhang. Everyone here knew very well that these three people had revolutionary roots.
He Qigong was very sensitive, and he quickly noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere at the scene. However, Guo Wenyuan and Ge Jinzhang were a little late-minded, and they were still muttering in their hearts about what these people were looking at.
He Qigong sighed slightly, put on a calm face, and said slowly: "What the governor said is absolutely true. After all, there were Luanzhou military remonstrances and Luanzhou uprisings here before, and all the soldiers under his command were
We are still very nostalgic for the revolution. But then again, I have done some understanding and investigation at the Suiying School and the Brigade Headquarters before. In fact, there were people in our department who responded to the call for revolution before. The key lies in the environmental reasons at that time.
"
Zhao Jishi glanced at He Qigong and asked thoughtfully: "What was the reason for the environment at that time? I dare to ask Mr. He, what does this mean? Is it possible that the current environment is different from that then?"
He Qigong nodded and said: "Yes, it was to overthrow the feudal Qing court. It was an epoch-making revolution. But now that the Qing court is gone, it is obviously inappropriate to continue the revolution. [ ] For the country's politics
Question, to be honest, how many of us bosses know these things?"
Li Jinfu followed Zhao Jishi and asked He Qigong: "In other words, there is no position issue under our First Mixed Brigade now, right?"
He Qigong said seriously: "I can't guarantee it 100%, but I can be sure that most of the soldiers will not have the so-called position problem."
Zhao Jishi smiled happily and said: "What Sir He said is naturally the best."
Yuan Su coughed softly, then changed the topic and said: "I still know very well what the situation of our First Mixed Brigade is. Of course, no matter what the reason is, we still have to be fully prepared. About me
After the troops arrive in Shandong, we need to have a good discussion and take into account the factors mentioned before to cooperate with the headquarters and other troops in taking military operations."
Chen Wenian, who had been silent for a long time, finally understood what Yuan Su meant after some deep thought.
At this moment, he pondered for a moment, and then said very calmly: "Master He has already said before that we really need to consider this matter in the long term. Now that we have decided to send troops, we must not miss any opportunity to develop and grow. It's just that we have decided to send troops.
On the one hand, it is not our turn to lead the battle, and there is no way to capture many of the territories that can be fought for; on the other hand, the troops heading south this time are too mixed, including the second town, the fifth town, and the Xuzhou River Defense Camp near the water."
Everyone present nodded in agreement, but although the situation before them was very complicated, before everyone had not yet determined what Yuan Su meant mentally, now that it had been determined, they were still very excited.
Even in complex situations, there will always be opportunities to find ways to exploit the gaps. What's more, Yuan Su is also the nephew of President Yuan Shikai, so he has this convenience. [Thanks for supporting the novel]
After a slight pause, Chen Wennian continued: "Currently, we have two options. Either we strive to serve as vanguard or flanking cover troops, so that we can be on the front line. I don't need to say more about its significance; or
It’s about choosing the near at the expense of the far, being bolder, and directly overshadowing the guest.”
Zhao Shanhe frowned and asked: "Surfing the throne? Mr. Chen, are you trying to take advantage of the Fifth Town and Jiangfang Camp to occupy their territory after they move south?"
Zhao Jishi also quickly said: "This is inappropriate."
Chen Wennian said seriously: "These are the two choices before us now. Of course, we don't have to do this. It's just that there is never a free lunch in this world, and we can never sit back and enjoy it so easily."
Everyone gradually began to discuss, and some people thought that the first option should be adopted. Although there would be a war, it would not be too difficult if they could be assigned to the flanks. However, some also thought that because Yuan Su was the nephew of the president, he could occupy the rear.
Some land is not a big deal, it is just a county matter, and no one will care about it.
What's more, the First Mixed Brigade was fine staying in Luanzhou. Since the Ministry of War must order the First Mixed Brigade to leave, of course there are still considerations in this regard.
At this moment, Yuan Su raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. He stood up slowly, walked to the wall where the map table was hung, stretched out his hand and pointed twice on the map, and said: "Spread your words and speak.
I plan to take advantage of this dispatch to capture the two major counties of Huai'an and Huaibei. Huai'an is not difficult. When the army moves south, there will definitely be some fighting here, and it will become the logistics center of the main town. At that time, we will take the opportunity to move in and serve as
It is very simple to protect the troops and leave one troops to stay permanently afterwards."
He Qigong also stood up and walked up to Yuan Su. He stared at the map for a while and then said: "Captain, are you planning to control both ends of the Huaihe River?"
Yuan Su nodded and said: "Yes, now that the world situation has changed drastically, we cannot always stick to the north. Although Huaibei and Huai'an are not important north-south hubs, they can be regarded as front lines with smooth traffic.
Land. As I said before, Huai’an is not difficult, the key lies in Huaibei.”
Chen Wennian said with deep approval: "The governor is right. Although the governor of Anhui is Bai Wenwei now, the real military power is still in the hands of Ni Sichong. To put it simply, the situation in Anhui is not as troublesome as outsiders say.
, to deal with Bai Wenwei, Ni Sichong only needs a telegram. In other words, firstly, we have no reason to invade Anhui, and secondly, there are people watching the center of Anhui, and any slight mistake will be counterproductive. "
Yuan Su continued: "When this matter is settled, I will recommend one person to be the garrison commander of Huai'an and one person to be the garrison commander of Huaibei. Although they are far apart, the north and the south will take care of each other, and they will definitely be able to be the top guards of one side."
Hearing this, everyone present was happy.
For them, this is a great opportunity to expand their territory. Although they also have one-third of an acre in Luanzhou, they are under Yuan Su's nose after all. They still have to be careful about many things. It is very difficult to just make a little more money.
.But once you go to the local area, the situation will be very different. Not only can you take the opportunity to expand your personal power, but you can also become a veritable warlord and local emperor. It is truly the best opportunity to make a fortune.
Of course, everyone present knew very well that this kind of matter would not be easily delegated to outsiders. It must be Yuan Su's direct relatives and trusted generals who had such an opportunity. It was originally intended to expand Yuan Su's own sphere of influence. How could it be possible?
How about allowing outsiders to become fully fledged and establish their own business?
"However, having said that, this is just my expectation. Whether it can be realized can still be done step by step. As I said just now, the first step is Huai'an, and we cannot leave empty-handed no matter what. As for Huaibei, we will act according to the opportunity."
After a while, Yuan Su turned around and faced everyone and said.
"The Governor is right, we can only make this preparation at the moment, but the specific arrangements will not be finalized until after departure." Chen Wenian said while nodding.
Afterwards, everyone discussed the departure plan in detail, including the marching order of the troops, the arrangement of transportation, and the follow-up of strategic materials. After the discussion was almost complete, they started to draw up some hypothetical plans to occupy Huai'an and Huaibei. This aspect is very important.
It was partly a prediction of this foray.
The meeting lasted until the evening, during which Yuan Su went out and sent a telegram to the headquarters to inquire about the expenses of the First Mixed Brigade after its departure. After dinner in the evening, the headquarters quickly replied with a telegram informing the president.
The town had no plan in advance to mobilize the 1st Mixed Brigade to go south, and the Army Department's temporary order was too hasty. The materials needed for the departure were temporarily borne by the 1st Mixed Brigade du li. If it was not possible, it would be transferred to the Army Department to dispatch subsidies.
In fact, this is a form of tai chi, shifting the blame away from each other.
Yuan Su also saw something from it. Feng Guozhang and Duan Qirui each had their own plans, and they had been fighting openly and secretly with each other. He even speculated that the temporary order issued by the Ministry of War was specifically to target Feng Guozhang, whether it was adding a second
The town's logistical burden still prevented the second town from enjoying the victory alone. This was a blow to Feng Guozhang.
The meeting continued in the evening, Yuan Su reported the telegram from the main town, and then worked out the details of the departure based on the current situation.
The entire meeting was discussed and implemented at the same time. Once an item was determined, people were immediately dispatched to handle it, including scheduling trains and arranging warehousing, as well as sending advance representatives to various places along the way to make arrangements, etc. It was even decided to send a communications officer overnight.
Rushed to Shandong and stationed directly at the Second Town Headquarters to receive and convey information.
After a busy night, the commanders of each regiment hurriedly returned to their respective units in the early morning of the next day.
