"I know, there should be no problem in Luanzhou. I'm relieved about this. The key points are Huaibei, Huai'an and Shangqiu. If Tian Wenlie orders the troops from these three places to be transferred back, the situation will not be good." Yuan
Su said with profound meaning.
"I haven't heard of such an order from Zhili yet. Tian Wenlie has just taken over and he shouldn't dare to make any big moves easily." Du predicted.
"I'm just afraid of long nights and lots of dreams." Yuan Su sighed slowly and looked deeply at the distant courtyard wall.
"Speaking of Huai'an and Huaibei, we also received several telegrams yesterday. Mr. Jiang is currently transferring most of the tax funds from Suye Company and local governments to Huai'an, Huaibei, and foreign banks here in Tianjin.
Temporary storage. Guo Boji and Li Wenshi have also done a good job in dealing with the aftermath, and nothing went wrong." Du Yu added.
"Moving to Huai'an, Huaibei? I don't think it's necessary. Even if they deposit the funds in the Northern Bank, Tian Wenlie and Zhu Panzao wouldn't dare to do anything about it. If you transfer to such a far place, there will definitely be many problems once funds are needed.
It's convenient. I'll send a message to Jiang Baili later about this matter and let him think about it again," Yuan Su explained. Although he trusts Jiang Baili, not everything will be left to chance. The key is to see whether it makes sense.[
"Okay, I will arrange the message later." Du Yu responded.
At this moment, footsteps were heard again outside the corridor, and an attendant trotted over.
Du Xuexing went up to him and asked what was going on, and then conveyed to Yuan Su: "Sir, Mr. Gao has come from Beijing, and he is waiting to be received in the front hall."
Yuan Su's expression changed slightly, and he naturally knew that the "Master Gao" Du Yu mentioned was Gao Shun.
Since the Beiyang Young Officers Club headquarters was unveiled in Beijing, Gao Shun was sent to Beijing to be fully responsible for the operation and development of the Beiyang Young Officers Club. Of course, as the club has successively established branches across the country, this project is Yuan
Su, an important organization that Jiang Baili laid the foundation for the "Beiyang Young Sect", Yuan Su himself would inevitably attach great importance to. Therefore, Gao Shun had to travel around during this period to personally manage the corresponding projects in various branches.
After Yuan Su was ordered to be transferred three months ago, he sent a special message to Gao Shun, asking him to stay in Beijing as much as possible to take care of the affairs of the Young Officers Club. The focus was to make use of the Young Officers Club and the people who frequented the club.
, to collect some intelligence on the top officials of the Beiyang Army.
"Oh, I didn't even say hello before I came. Haha, let him come over immediately." Yuan Su explained.
Du Yu then ordered the attendant who had come to inform him to invite Gao Shun in. Not long after the attendant left, he returned with Gao Shun. He saw that Gao Shun was wearing a set of casual clothes, and even though he was
The casual clothes also look very inconspicuous, so in the crowd, it is impossible to tell that he is a person of status and status.
Yuan Su stood up from the couch and came to the entrance of the corridor to wait to greet him. After meeting, without waiting for Gao Shun to salute and greet him, he enthusiastically stepped forward to hold Gao Shun's hand and said cordially: "
Brother Jianyang, you were just talking about why you didn't say hello before you came here. Looking at your dress, why, could it be that Beijing is keeping a close eye on you?"
Gao Shun smiled and said: "After all, this is an extraordinary period, so it's better to be careful in everything. Gao has been running around in the past few months. Hearing that Lord Yuan was transferred to the Army Ministry, he hasn't had time to interview Lord Yuan yet. Okay.
Mr. Yuan is currently living in Tianjin, and it is not far from the capital, so I took this opportunity to make a special trip to see Mr. Yuan."
Yuan Su invited Gao Shun to sit down, poured him a cup of tea himself, and then asked: "Just got off the car, it's been a hard journey. Let's have a cup of tea. So, brother Jianyang, are you just here for a visit today?"
Gao Shun quickly shook his head and said: "Of course there are still serious things to do. On the one hand, I want to report to the adults on the recent club operations. It has been more than half a year, so there should be a detailed summary report. On the other hand,
It’s about some recent news in Beijing. No matter what, we still need to let you know as soon as possible.”
Yuan Su nodded slightly and said calmly: "So it turns out that it's really hard for Brother Jianyang to come all the way. Let's talk about the club first. After all, I haven't asked much about it during this time.
I really don’t know how the club is developing. I heard that new club branches were opened in two other cities a year ago, right?”
So Gao Shun followed Yuan Su's questions and introduced the current situation of the Beiyang Young Officers Club.
Since the development of the club is used to build a military group, it is natural to give the club more special features. In addition to certain restrictions on the club's application for membership, the club has also become a platform for providing some political qualifications and mutual assistance.
As long as you join the club, you will have a direct relationship with the Central Army. Even if you are assigned to other local forces in the future, there is still a high chance of being transferred to a better place through the contact through the club.
Gao Shun was not quick to see this matter at first. He was a moral person, and he had a lot of disdain for this kind of thing where one person can achieve enlightenment, a chicken or a dog can ascend to heaven. However, after detailed explanations by Yuan Su and Jiang Baili before, they emphasized the importance of the club.
It is not to provide such convenience, but to teach the purpose of "Young Zhuang Sect" to all members. This more or less eases his concerns. What's more, he is also very aware of the customs of today's society. Many things are unavoidable and can only be avoided.
Can gradually accept it.
When a club has such a role, its development will naturally be faster.
As for the daily operations of the club, in addition to parties, entertainment, drinks, dinners, etc., there are also occasional speeches or social gatherings. However, most of all activities are sponsored by the military, schools, etc., and nine out of ten sponsors will be
There was extra money left over, and this money became the club's largest source of income.
With both economic and political capital, the club has developed very rapidly in the past nine months.[
There are even many places that take the initiative to ask for joint ventures to start clubs, or politely donate money, materials, and invitations to start clubs.
When Yuan Su heard this, he had a general idea. It seems that the Beiyang Young Officers Club is now like an office stationed in a certain place in a certain province in the 21st century. Although the club is essentially the base of the Young Warriors, it has a reputation.
But it is more or less under the banner of the Central Army. It is equivalent to the offices of the Central Army set up in various places.
As the Central Army was a force directly under the central government after Yuan Shikai's reorganization, Yuan Shikai himself naturally hoped that the greater the influence, the better. Furthermore, the purpose of the Officers' Club was very helpful to the centralization of power, so it naturally received strong support from the Beiyang Group.
At present, in addition to the original five club branches, four more clubs have been opened in Hankou, Changsha, Nanjing, and Nanchang. However, due to some procedures, Nanjing and Nanchang may have to wait for a while before they can officially open.
After listening to Gao Shun's introduction, Yuan Su said seriously: "The number of clubs does not matter, but whether they can truly convey the concept of the Young Boys. I am more worried recently, that is, after I submit my resignation, it will affect the club.
business activities, after all, many of today's ideological concepts are not easy to change in a short period of time. The purpose of the club is to provide a guide so that the younger generation can slowly transition to a state of lofty ideals."
Gao Shunshen nodded in agreement, and said in agreement: "What you said is absolutely true. Although there are always some unhealthy tendencies that are difficult to change, it does not mean that there will be no gains in the development of the club. In fact, every time the club holds a publicity event for young people,
When I gave lectures on spirituality and doctrine, there were not many young officers in attendance, but they were all officers who could persevere and insist on attending. I believe that as long as we can change the minds of some people, we can quickly change the minds of a generation.
"
Yuan Su sighed and said: "Yes, all we can do is provide guidance. Next, we have to see the enlightenment of these young officers themselves and how they pass on this idea to others around them. Brother Jianyang, I have to say, this
It is a long and arduous task, and you will have to work harder in the future."
Gao Shun chuckled and said: "If you can really do something constructive, how can Gao care about these difficulties?"
After talking to this point, Yuan Su had rearranged the tea sets on the coffee table and poured Gao Shun another cup of tea.
After Gao Shun was polite, he felt a little thirsty, so he picked up the tea cup and took a sip slowly. After drinking the tea, he breathed out a sigh of relief, but his face gradually changed a little, and his tone became a little...
He said very solemnly: "Sir, in addition, there has been some rumors in the capital recently, and it is directly related to your resignation."
The reason why Yuan Su arranged Gao Shun in Beijing was of course because he hoped that there would be someone to take care of him in Beijing. He asked calmly: "Really? Tell me, what are the rumors?"
