"Master Yuan, there is something wrong with what you said. The issue of imperialism is still just a rumor now. No one knows what it will be like. Even if there is such a thing, the president will not be so hasty to deal with Master Yuan.
.Furthermore, what you have done during this period is obvious to all, and your consistent position is to unswervingly support centralization of power. The president should not forget this." Zhao Jishi said very doubtfully.
"It's hard to guess what my uncle is thinking. After all, we are not in his position and will not understand what he can see from that position. In short, my attitude towards the monarchy is purely so-called, yes or no
No matter what, the most important thing is to make China prosperous and strong in the end. Now that my uncle has given such an order, I can't openly resist it. So what should be given up, I still have to give in." Yuan Su said seriously.
"So, sir, are you really going to swallow your anger and give up all the foundation we have worked so hard for so many years?" Chen Wenian said the most excitedly.
"Of course I won't be willing to do this. I came to meet with you just to discuss the countermeasures." Yuan Su stated his true intention directly without any delay or concealment.
This sentence somewhat stabilized the mood of everyone present. At the very least, it could be confirmed that Yuan Su would not compromise easily. In this way, the strength and influence of the Luanzhou Group would still have a chance to be preserved. But after thinking about it carefully, Yuan Su has already
After accepting the transfer order from the central government, Tian Wenlie, who is still in Yingkou these days, is also actively sending people to contact and hand over the matter. Is there any way to solve the current predicament now? [
"Sir, is there no room for explanation to the President about this matter?" Jiang Baili, who had been silent until now, slowly asked. On the surface, his question seemed to have no constructive meaning, but after a while, it turned out that
After careful consideration, I selected the simplest, most direct and best way to resolve the matter.
"It's not that it can't be explained, but I'm not sure what my uncle's intentions are at the moment. What I said just now is just a test. If that's the case, I can put down my face and have a good talk with my uncle. I'm just afraid that this matter will be far away.
It's far from that simple, and even if we want to talk, we have to be mentally prepared to make things worse. In the end, if this method works, I won't rush back to Luanzhou so quickly."
Yuan Su said sadly.
"If this method doesn't work, it seems that we will have no choice but to take risks." Jiang Baili nodded slowly and said in an increasingly serious tone.
Just by listening to Jiang Baili's tone, one can already tell that he has certain countermeasures in mind.
Yuan Su even believed that Jiang Baili's countermeasures were actually not much different from what he thought, because what he would do next would also involve certain risks.
"Anyway, at this point we can only give it a try." Chen Wennian said solemnly.
"That's right, Mr. Yuan got through it step by step in the same way back then. We will still fully support Mr. Yuan this time." Zhao Shanhe said enthusiastically.
"Brother Baili, what are your thoughts?" Yuan Su did not rush to say what he meant first. He turned to Jiang Baili and asked.
"The key right now is how to preserve your business. To put it simply, we cannot let Tian Wenlie and Zhu Panzao take over smoothly. Of course, in order not to cause more trouble, we still have to do enough superficial things." Jiang Baili
His tone was methodical, and his face was very determined when he spoke.
"Yes, this is indeed the key." Chen Wennian nodded in agreement.
"So in the next handover work, we will only do superficial things. As for the real key positions, our people must be firmly in control. And this layer must be linked one by one, which means that when Tian Wenlie
, Zhu Panzao intends to play the trick of one emperor and one courtier. These important positions we hold must be able to take care of each other, so that they know that one move can affect the whole body. Therefore, while doing superficial work, we must also give these people a
Show off your power." Jiang Baili further said.
"It makes sense. In short, we must not give in even one step." Zhao Jishi agreed. Although he is not the earliest confidant to follow Yuan Su, at this moment, he must also consider that his position will not be shaken. Jiang Baili's words are exactly what he said.
He understood what he was thinking, and there was no reason not to support it.
"The most critical thing is to firmly grasp the logistics supply and local government tax revenue. As long as the economy is in our hands, these soldiers under our command will always follow us. I believe that when Tian Wenlie and Zhu Panzao take office, the central government will only provide
A sum of money is used for handover expenses. After all, we have just experienced the troubles in Qingdao and Liaodong, and then the president will be busy dealing with the imperial system. The central finance will definitely not be able to cope with it." Jiang Baili continued.
"That's right, soldiers will follow whoever pays them. This is the simplest and most direct truth. As long as local governments control taxation, the army will not give in at all in terms of logistics. Even if Tian Wenlie and Zhu Panzao are allowed to take charge of the Zhili General Military Affairs
Even in the position of the office, it is impossible for them to mobilize every single soldier under our command." Chen Wennian nodded with great satisfaction.
"As for the local governments, I have to ask Mr. Wang to come forward and deal with it. In short, if everyone works together, we will definitely be able to preserve this foundation for Mr. Yuan." Jiang Baili said while turning to Wang Litong, who had been silent.
"Yes, yes, I will do my best." Wang Lantong nodded quickly and agreed. For him, there was no obvious idea of being a die-hard loyalist to Yuan Su. After all, he still belonged to the old bureaucratic class.
, regardless of the size of the benefit, as long as it is profitable, it doesn't matter who he follows. But after all, Yuan Su specially invited him to attend this meeting today, which can be regarded as treating him as a confidant, so he can help within the scope of his ability.
I'll still help.
"Brother Baili, I was not disappointed. In fact, my thoughts are roughly the same as yours. I think the top priority must be to ensure that Luanzhou will not be taken over by Tian Wenlie, Zhu Panzao and others. But Brother Baili, you
But it is more subtle than I thought. With you here, I feel relieved." After listening to everyone's words, Yuan Su praised Jiang Baili with satisfaction.
This was not something he said in hindsight. He had been working in the Beiyang political group for so many years as a soldier, and he still had some calculations in his mind. From the very beginning, he thought of dealing with Yuan Shikai in the same way as he treated others.
At that time, Yuan Shikai was jealous of the Qing government because of his excessive power, and was forced to resign and return home. Later, when the world was in chaos, the Qing government was unable to mobilize the Beiyang Army. Instead, it gave Yuan Shikai a bargaining chip to raise prices.
This time he wants to take the same path that Yuan Shikai once walked. Now that he has been blocked by the seizure of military power, when the imperial system causes great chaos, Yuan Shikai will know the importance of laying this foreshadowing.[
"It's just that we don't have much time left now. We have to rush to catch up on many things." Jiang Baili said with some worry.
"It all depends on people. As long as we all work together, I believe we will be able to accomplish this in the end." Yuan Su said encouragingly.
"In addition," at this moment, He Qigong, who didn't speak much or even had no face, suddenly spoke, and everyone's eyes turned to him. He said, "Actually, I think the ideological counseling of soldiers is also very important.
Important. Whether it is the Reserve Command or the new barracks of our various armies, when recruiting new soldiers for camp training, they have always followed the policy set by Mr. Yuan a few years ago. In addition to military training, they will also provide appropriate cultural education.
"
Yuan Su has just taken over Luanzhou, and he has attached great importance to the cultivation of cultural literacy of the soldiers. In recent years, He Qigong has been mainly responsible for this area, not only because He Qigong is a serious cultural person, but more importantly, because He Qigong is a serious cultural person.
Very keen on this.
Others present were somewhat confused about He Qigong's words just now, but Yuan Su knew what He Qigong meant in his heart. As long as the soldiers have a clear sense of right and wrong and an unswervingly loyal outlook on life,
These two points alone are enough to ensure the purity of the troops under your command and gain military morale in the long run.
Although this is a long-term undertaking, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. No matter how long the road takes, if you don't take one step, there will never be the possibility of progress.
"Kezhi, I understand what you mean very well. Every soldier has his own understanding of things. Only ideological education can ensure that their understanding will not be wrong. As long as all soldiers or most soldiers can unswervingly face us,
Even if all the officers are replaced, these soldiers will still be our soldiers after all." Yuan Su said happily.
"However, this will not be effective in a short time." Zhao Jishi said with a sigh.
"Why not, prepare with both hands. Whether it is dealing with immediate emergencies or laying a longer-term foundation for the future, we cannot relax at all now. However, I will leave this matter to you. If you need anything, you can contact Brother Baili.
Let's discuss and discuss together." Yuan Su looked at He Qigong and said neatly.
The reason why he supports He Qigong so much is not only that he believes in the principle that "a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step", but more importantly, he hopes to further win over He Qigong. He Qigong is indeed a rare talent, but it is a pity that he is not a good person.
So easy to adapt, Yuan Shikai's plan to become emperor this time may have touched his bottom line. But for now, this is not a place that cannot be exploited.
He Qigong just nodded, and originally planned to explain his views further, but since Yuan Su already knew it and encouraged this method, he simply stopped saying any more.
He originally wanted to take the opportunity to test Yuan Su to see if the young leader would stick to his previous attitude towards people and things when the crisis came. How could he not understand the principle of "distant water does not put out fire near"?
, but he did not expect that Yuan Su still did not delay, and "understood what he meant half the time", so he did not let himself down. Based on this alone, he could conclude that Yuan Su was still a figure he could follow.
Next, everyone began to discuss some important details, such as how to hold the key positions of the First Corps of the Central Army, the Tenth Division of the Central Army, and the local civil governments and reserve headquarters under the General Administration of Military Affairs, and these military and political facilities. Another example is
The top priority is to consolidate all the originally scattered logistics systems and put them under direct control from Luanzhou. Another example is to budget in advance some of the takeover measures that Tian Wenlie and Zhu Panzao will take, so that they can be dealt with more calmly by then.
Everyone present brainstormed, and whether it was a conspiracy or a conspiracy, everyone put forward their own suggestions without reservation, including secretly bribing Tian Wenlie, Zhu Panzao's close confidants, and even thinking about whether they could poach some corners, etc.
Basically, only a general discussion was discussed, because Yuan Su knew very well that Jiang Baili, He Qigong, and Chen Wenian were absolutely capable of handling these matters and ensuring that the Luanzhou military and political group would not easily let outsiders get involved. Then, he did some military work
In accordance with the requirements of the General Secretary, I hope that Zhao Shanhe and Zhao Jishi can fully control the situation of the First Corps and fill all the vacancies in the First Corps in the next three months.
The Artillery Reserve Regiment of the First Corps was directly promoted to the Fourth Artillery Brigade, which combined all the regiments directly under the jurisdiction of the First Corps Headquarters, with the Artillery Reserve Regiment as the main focus, and will focus on training in the future. The artillery previously purchased from abroad will also be
They have all been shipped to Luanzhou one after another, and the artillery has been sent to the 101 Factory to start copying. The next step is equipment and training.
Yuan Su appointed Zhao Jishi as the commander of the Fourth Artillery Brigade and concurrently as the commander-in-chief of logistics of the headquarters. Zhao Shanhe, in addition to being the commander of the first brigade, also served as the commander-in-chief of military law of the headquarters.
After discussing it all afternoon, all plans were prepared in an orderly manner.
When the meeting ended, Yuan Su couldn't help but guess that because of this major incident, all the forces under his command had achieved unprecedented unity. Deep in his heart, there was always a worry, that is,
In order to develop faster, I didn't care about the mix of various people under my command. Typical old bureaucrats like Wang Lantong, old-camp soldiers like Zhao Jishi, Li Jinfu, and Sun Desheng, like Chen Wenian, Zhao Shanhe, and Du
There are old subordinates like Guo Wenyuan and others with seventy-nine standards, as well as outstanding cultural students like Jiang Baili and He Qigong. It can be said to be a hodgepodge.
If the control is good, they can complement each other and check and balance each other; if the control is not good, there will be vicious internal fighting, just like today's Beiyang government.
His hope is to rely on the ideas of the "Beiyang Young Masters" to cleanse the various forces under his command, so that these originally independent forces can unite and become a Young Masters group with faith and the same belief. However, the Young Masters
The banner has just been launched not long ago, and it always takes a period of transition.
