Two days later, as the Luanzhou gentry delivered the supplies to the government offices one by one, the military-civilian joint defense plan officially entered the implementation stage. While Yuan Su urged Wang Litong to actively contact the arms dealers, he personally went to the southern suburbs to supervise the construction and training of the migrant workers' team.
The barracks of the government office. For him, arms are the first priority. This is not only for the sake of civil defense equipment, but he will also take the opportunity to replenish some ammunition for the 79th Standard.
He deliberately took the time to find Wang Litong and discuss the purchase of arms with him.
Wang Li has also taken this matter to heart during this period. After all, it is profitable, so of course he has to work harder. He has sent his close associates to Tianjin and outside the customs to inquire about the information, but it will take some time to get a reply.
Yuan Su didn't have too many requirements. He only told Wang Lantong that it was best to find a seller who could produce new guns or foreign goods. If the seller's foundation was strong enough, he could consider long-term cooperation.
In addition to the joint military-civilian defense, Yuan Su also paid attention to the situation in the Seventy-Nine Biao Camp during this period.
In just a few days, after Tangshan Headquarters sent someone to send a reply to the capital, the entire 79 Biaobiao compound knew that Yuan Su was Yuan Shikai's nephew. Although there were similar rumors before,
After all, it is just hearsay, and many people are just skeptical.
But things are different now. The dignified Yuan Gongbao "personally" called his nephew Yuan Su, and even Mr. Pan from the main town gave him a very expensive foreign pistol. Who dares to have the slightest doubt at this moment?
Yuan Su's status in the Biaobu Courtyard has changed again. Before, everyone was polite, but now they are respectful. Whenever they meet in the courtyard, they will greet him proactively and enthusiastically and exchange a few words. Even
Zhang Jiangong, who had always looked down on Yuan Su before, suddenly changed completely. When he met, he not only greeted him with a smile, but also gave priority to Yuan Su's opinion on any military affairs that required decision-making in the camp.
However, as far as Yuan Su is concerned, Zhang Jiangong has never dealt with any serious military affairs. During this period, the other party has been concerned about two things: marking the headquarters barracks and arresting deserters. The so-called consultation is nothing more than the camp.
What furnishings need to be added after the building is repaired, or how to formulate a plan to hunt down deserters.
However, Chen Wennian's attitude towards Yuan Su has not changed much. In his opinion, Yuan Su is on the same stand as him. At the same time, he can also see that Yuan Su has the intention to do practical things and is not someone who likes to bully others.
Playboys, so there is no need to deliberately please each other.
In the past few days, Chen Wennian occasionally discussed the progress of joint military-civilian defense with Yuan Su, but his main focus was still on official duties in the camp. In addition, the cases in Anshan Town and Shimen Town have not progressed so far. Although he
He told Zhao Shanhe to follow up on this matter, but he would personally lead a team to inspect outside the city whenever he had free time.
Generally speaking, the Seventy-nine Biaobiao Department is still busy with its own affairs.
On January 8th, all the troops from the 78 Biao and Patrol Battalion who were stationed in the Biaobu compound were withdrawn to their headquarters. The main task of these teams stationed here was to take care of the wounded who were injured during the suppression of the uprising. Now half of the time has passed.
Within a few months, all the wounded had basically regained their ability to move. Even those who had been seriously injured could barely move. After all, this was not their own territory. Of course, they could return as quickly as possible.
The compound of the Seventy-nine Biaobiao Department was completely quiet. Not only did many barracks become available at once, but a lot of material burdens were also relieved. In addition, without these idle eyes and ears, Yuan Su could also be more relaxed.
Use your own hands and feet to implement your own plans.
That night, Yuan Su went to Chen Wenian and discussed with him to simply release all the remaining rebel officers who were detained in Biaobu. Just like He Qigong and Guo Wenyuan, they arranged to work with Biaobu first and then dispatch them as appropriate.
Go below.
Chen Wennian had no objection to this. Since he had released four officers in advance, he naturally would not care about releasing the remaining officers. Anyway, the higher-ups had no intention of pursuing the matter seriously, otherwise they would not just detain the people in Biaobu.
The courtyard has long been escorted to Baoding with Bai Yayu.
There are still six rebel officers currently detained in the Biaobu compound, three of whom are platoon leaders, the other two are battalion office officers, and only one is a former team officer. The reason why Yuan Su hopes to release these people as soon as possible is to
It is not to solve the manpower shortage problem of the Biao Department. On the one hand, it is to alleviate the antagonistic relationship between itself and the revolutionary camp. On the other hand, it is considering that after the establishment of the Militia Supervisory Training Office, there will be a need for manpower to help.
In addition to this matter, Yuan Su also made suggestions to Chen Wennian about the unification of the logistics of the 79th Biao. His concurrent role as quartermaster was personally appointed by Pan Tongzhi. Previously, due to the fact that the 78th Biao and the patrol battalion were still stationed,
The people are still there, so there is no rush to make drastic changes. Now that all these people have evacuated, the first thing the Biao Department needs to do is to restore the previous logistics system.
Chen Wennian was in favor of this suggestion. When handling official affairs in the camp during this period, he also paid attention to many logistical problems. Because the Biao Department lacked officers, Zhang Jiangong took control of all the public supplies of the Biao Department after taking office. Among them,
No one can say whether there is a case of enriching one's own pockets and using the public for personal gain.
In any case, Chen Wennian himself absolutely did not trust Zhang Jiangong, not to mention that Pan Tongzhi had explicitly appointed Yuan Su as the quartermaster, so the military supplies should naturally be managed by Yuan Su.
After receiving Chen Wenian's support, Yuan Su then revealed another arrangement. He decided to change the dining system in the military camp from two meals a day to three meals a day. As for the food and grass issue, he would distribute it from the Militia Training Institute.
Come here in part.
Chen Wennian reserved his opinion on this matter and just asked Yuan Su why he did this.
Yuan Su is very clear about the current situation in China. Two meals a day is not only a tradition among the military, but also for ordinary people in many places. In the final analysis, it is because they are too poor. At the same time, he is also very aware of the current situation of the Chinese Army.
Not only do soldiers generally have low educational levels, but their physical fitness is also very poor. Whether it is a cold weapon war or a modern war, without a good system, there will be no stable combat effectiveness.
Adding one extra meal a day seems to be a drop in the bucket, but Yuan Su believes that this can improve the soldiers' system to some extent, and at least improve their morale and morale.
He told Chen Wennian his thoughts. Chen Wennian pondered for a moment and did not object. He only said that the matter should be done within his ability.
In fact, in Yuan Su's mind, in addition to improving the living conditions of the soldiers, he also wanted to use an extra meal to win over people's hearts. Although the soldiers in Su were respectful and polite to him, after all, he had only been here for a short time at Seventy-nine Biao.
, if you want to truly master the Seventy-nine Standards, you must put in effort to win over people's hearts.
A few days later, Yuan Su originally planned to handle the logistics of the 79 bids as soon as possible, but what happened next made it obvious that he was unable to take care of the matter in time.
Zhang Juren of Anshan Town was officially mourned on January 9th. Not only did he publish an obituary notice in the newspaper, he also sent servants to distribute white notices to nearby relatives. Even Yuan Su, his cousin, received the notice immediately.
A blank note, in fact, even if he did not receive a blank note, he would still solemnly go to the Zhang Mansion to pay his respects.
In addition to this incident, Lin Boxhen, who had been resting for less than half a month, found Yuan Su this morning and said that he had decided to return to Shanghai tomorrow. This news was more sad and disappointing for Yuan Su than going to Zhang Ju's family to mourn.
.Although Lin Boxen had mentioned this matter before, as Yuan Su's career in Luanzhou gradually developed during this period, he sincerely hoped that Lin Boxen could stay and help him.
In Yuan Su's view, there is no other close friend besides Lin Boxen who can take a bullet for him. In other words, the only person he trusts most in Luanzhou is Lin Boxen. In the process of future development, he very much needs some people.
A confidant like Lin Boxhen who can dig deep into his heart without any worries.
However, since Lin Boxhen made such a decision, Yuan Su also understood that this was the other party's idea after repeated consideration.
He did not force him to stay, but just told Lin Boxhen to keep in touch in the future and never forget his friend. Since Lin Boxhen is returning to Shanghai, and given Shanghai's important status in China today, he believes that we will definitely see him again in the future.
If you go to Lin Boxen, Lin Boxen might be able to help you.
After arranging the procedures for Lin Boxen to leave the camp and return, the other party was just a trainee. The situation was so unstable now that almost no one in the army cared about it. After that, Yuan Su personally helped Lin Boxen pack his luggage and book the train tickets. He originally
He planned to send another soldier to take care of him along the way, but Lin Boxen refused.
Lin Boxhen was not only grateful for what Yuan Su had done for him, but he also remembered this friend in his heart. So before leaving, he gave Yuan Su his fox fur shawl and gold-plated pocket watch.
He also promised that he would send a telegram as soon as possible after arriving in Shanghai.
Yuan Su already had a fox fur shawl given to him by Lin Boxhen, so he argued that it was useless to ask for two shawls, and asked Lin Boshen to keep one to keep out the cold. Lin Boshen couldn't resist, so he insisted on letting Yuan Su leave his pocket watch as a souvenir.
Yuan Su also liked this watch very much, and it was indeed of commemorative value, so he accepted it.
That night, the weather in the north experienced another violent snowstorm. The howling wind continued all night long, and the goose-feather-like snowflakes flying all over the sky seemed to annihilate the entire world.
Early the next morning, Yuan Su walked through the thick snow and personally helped Lin Boxhen carry his luggage and took him to the train station to get on the train. Guo Wenyuan, Lin Boxhen's colleague when he was a trainee in the second battalion, also came to see him off, and they finally got to know each other.
You still need to keep this etiquette in mind.
After repeatedly saying some blessings on the platform, Yuan Su and Guo Wenyuan helped Lin Boxen carry his luggage onto the train. They talked for a while and did not leave until the conductor reminded him that the train was about to start. Returning to the platform, Yuan Su stood across the train.
The window waved goodbye to Lin Boshen. As the distant whistle of the train sounded, the train started slowly and disappeared in the distance of the platform, seemingly slowly and quickly.
"Hey, let's go back!" Yuan Su sighed quietly and said to Guo Wenyuan in a long voice.
The two then walked outside the train station. After leaving the train station, bits and pieces of ice particles were still floating in the sky.
