When it comes to official expenditures, Qian Shuiting has indeed noticed that it is almost hypocritical - after all, he has been educated in the United States and knows that there is no trivial matter in political politics. If he really wants to get serious, his underwear will be stripped off.
It seems that if my maid drinks a cup of boiled water in the executive committee office, someone will find her.
Qian Shuiting chuckled: "Is saving office expenses the purpose of the Senate?"
"Okay, let's not talk about these lies." Shan Liang can't say anything new in terms of living conditions now. After all, the living conditions of the elders have improved rapidly after the Maid Revolution. He has another purpose in coming here this time.
land.
"I saw the veteran's military and political proposal on BBS - someone wanted to kill Zhu Dadian..."
Qian Shuiting moved his butt on the chair and thought, "Here we go again." He was tired of hearing about this matter these days. The worst thing was that as the speaker, he couldn't clearly show his butt, so he had to listen patiently to everyone.
Long story.
"The fact that Lu Zeyang wants to assassinate Zhu Dadian doesn't matter in itself. It has nothing to do with being a Ming Dynasty bureaucrat." Shan Liang made his position clear at the beginning, "But from this matter, I feel that the elders who are now dispatched abroad have nothing to do with it."
They are becoming more and more like a climate..."
When he said this, he kept looking at Qian Shuiting, spying on his reaction. Sure enough, Qian Shuiting's unnatural smile made him realize that the speaker had similar thoughts to himself.
"The tendency of veterans stationed abroad to walk alone has become more and more intense since the Chang Shide incident at Leizhou Station." Shan Liang came prepared and had an "article" hidden in his mind. This article was not written by him alone.
Yes, it is more of a "collective creation". "According to the plans announced in the past, the purpose of 'Operation Engine' is to acquire the population of Shandong. From this point of view, are the leaders of the Shandong Front Committee a little confused about the goal?"
Qian Shuiting continued to remain silent.
"The occupation of Qimu Island is for a transshipment base, but the occupation of Zhaoyuan was not part of the plan," Shan Liang said. "Without the authorization of the Senate, a large number of local militiamen were expanded, forming a fait accompli of occupying parts of the coastal areas of Shandong.
...Such a big strategic move is no longer just a simple tactical move like when Lu Zeyang entered Laizhou Nanguan to assist the defense."
Shan Liang continued: "For the senators sent abroad, do you still have the Senate in your heart? You can do whatever you want, and when you are done, ask the Senate to wipe your ass! The fait accompli will invest resources in it. Anyway, as long as you have political achievements, what will you do in the end?
They will all be ratified—if that’s the case, why do you need the rubber stamp of the Senate?!”
Qian Shuiting's eyebrows raised slightly.
"The incomplete liquidation of Chang Shide's incident led to this kind of thing. I think it can't continue like this. Now more and more veterans are being sent abroad, and the power they hold is far from what Chang Shide and his friends once did.
The factory is so simple. Some of them are already princes, with military and political power in their hands. If we don’t prevent the slightest change now, it’s hard to say that there will be monsters like the Kwantung Army in the future.”
Qian Shuiting looked serious.
"There is no need to discuss the matter of Zhu Dadian at all - because the proposal is wrong from the starting point!" Shan Liang's voice raised a few points, "The original purpose of the engine plan was to use the Denglai Incident to assassinate Zhu Dadian and extend the
The whole incident was not part of the original plan at all. What case did he file? This is a typical act of walking alone talking to oneself!"
Qian Shuiting asked: "What is your suggestion?"
"Operation Engine is now on a summer break, and all aspects of work are not too tense. I think it is necessary for the Senate to hold a hearing on Operation Engine. A comprehensive report on the organization, implementation and completion of this operation.
, and at the same time review all existing problems in the operation. Serious problems must be dealt with seriously. Some veterans may be considered for transfer."
Qian Shuiting was silent for a few minutes and said, "Are you going to initiate a proposal on this issue?"
"Of course I do. I'm very willing to serve." Shan Liang said with a slight smile, specially emphasizing the word "service".
"It's so hot..." Lu Zeyang was wearing a bamboo hat and a cotton and linen blended robe. This is the coolest local attire. It is a special summer uniform made by Minister Hong specially organized by people in Shandong: cotton and linen blended materials.
Wearing bamboo hats. In contrast, the local warriors all wore linen jackets and torn straw hats, looking wretched.
In his hand he held the order document that had just been delivered.
Fan Twelve waited by his side like a pug, wholeheartedly fawning over the "Mr. Lu" who seemed to have "a bright future". According to his idea, Mr. Lv, who had made such great achievements in Laizhou, would wait until this chaos was over.
, the imperial court will definitely reward him with a thousand CEOs or something. If I can serve as a small leader under his command, my future will be much better than opening a half-lived small restaurant under Laizhou City.
The weather was hot now, and Mr. Lu Tuan had not much appetite, so Fan Twelve made cold noodles, added peanut butter, and light side dishes to serve Mr. Lu.
Since Xu Congzhi died in battle and Zhu Dadian took office, the rebels' attacks on Laizhou are no longer as fierce as usual. It seems that they realize that no matter how fierce the attack is, it is impossible to open Laizhou. Starting from June, the rebels have only left some troops.
Outside of the continuation of the siege of Laizhou, most of the main forces have retreated. The scouts sent by Lu Zeyang reported that the rebel blockade under the city had begun to weaken. Although there may still be 10,000 troops left, the rebel army was formed by the old Dongjiang troops.
Most of the main force has left Laizhou. Most of the rebels who remain under Laizhou City and continue to besiege the city are the remnants of the original Shandong Zhenjun, the Southern Army and the defeated officers and soldiers. Only the two thousand cavalry troops led by Kong Youde still remain.
Under Laizhou City, the purpose was not only to monitor other rebels, but also to control the passage.
According to the judgment of the Shandong Front Committee, the rebels could not capture Laizhou for a long time, and they found that the Huang County area had gradually come under the control of the Senate, and they had already made plans to find another way.
The main purpose of the rebels' long-term siege of Laizhou is to "seize their way out." Only by rushing out of Dengzhou, Laizhou, a small seaside open space facing the sea on one side and the mountains on the other, can the rebels have a lot of room for maneuver and can they continue to expand.
Strength. Whenever a peasant army riots, it must be a mobile battle at the beginning, and it strengthens itself to attack the enemy during the movement. The same is true for the rebels in Denglai.
Now that there is no hope of capturing Laizhou, and since the rebels have no hope of "breaking through" by taking the Laizhou route, Li Jiucheng, as the commander of the rebels, has to find another breakthrough. Then Qixia and Pingdu are their most ideal breakthrough locations.
Although the landforms have changed in ancient and modern times, the general topography remains unchanged. From the map, these two places are still the places where national and provincial roads pass through in the 21st century. Whether they capture Pingdu or Qixia, the rebels can rush out of Denglai and directly
Breaking into the richer and wider Xisanfu area.
Furthermore, once you enter Xisanfu, you can go north to Hebei, west to Henan, or south if the situation is favorable. If the situation is unfavorable, you can return to Denglai.
Now that the main force of the rebels has found another way and Zhu Dadian has also arrived in Qingzhou, the front committee believes that the possibility of Laizhou's fall is unlikely, and it makes little sense for Lu Zeyang to continue to stay in Laizhou. It is better to transfer to the newly built Zhaoyuan Village in Zhaoyuan area as a unit.
A mobile force. This is what Lu Zeyang saw in the order.
"Finally I'm leaving." Lu Zeyang stretched out. He had been fighting in Laizhou for a long time. He had already formed "deep friendships" with the people here, the officers and soldiers, the gentry and even the rebels outside the city.
―Everyone who clashed with him was "heroically killed"――Now that I want to go back, I still feel a little reluctant to leave.
However, it is summer now, and he has almost eaten sea intestines and mackerel dumplings. There will be nothing new if he stays here any longer. Sun Yuanhua's plate is now stable, and according to what colleagues at Caijingkou wrote
According to private messages, many people in the Senate criticized him, saying that he was "not doing his job properly" in Laizhou, and after he proposed the plan to kill Zhu Dadian, some people wanted to "take his head to comfort the loyal ministers and martyrs."
"Herald the order!" Lu Zeyang sat up from the bamboo couch.
"Yes!" A messenger ran in - he did not bring this young man from Lingao. He added it on the spot in Dengzhou. In order to increase the combat effectiveness of the village warriors, he mobilized all the soldiers.
Serve as the commander of the village warriors.
"Everyone gather!"
Lu Zeyang's retreat lasted for a day. He first went to the city to say goodbye to Sun Yuanhua. Although Sun Yuanhua was surprised by his sudden retreat, he had relied on him to keep the south gate from falling these days, and he also had a highlight of the Nanguan victory.
Although he was a little worried about his retreat, Lu Zeyang said that he was relieved after the most dangerous period in Laizhou was over. These days, his judgment of the Australians has become a bit superstitious. He even felt that they were influenced by
The will of God comes to save and guide him.
The gentry, civil and military officials in the city had to be polite. Although they all had different ideas, they worked together in the same boat. General Yang, General Peng and others were full of praise for the firearms of his subordinates, and they wanted to get a few from him.
"Australian Firearms" went to "Australian Firearms". Selling arms was an established policy. Therefore, Lu Zeyang's application was quickly approved, and a hundred Nanyang-style rifles were shipped from Lingao. Each rifle came with 50 rounds of bullets and flash caps, without bayonets. They were sold.
The price is 20 taels of silver each. There are also 10 ivory handle smoothbore flash cap revolvers for officers, equipped with 50 rounds of bullets and flash caps, priced at 45 taels of silver each.
Of course, the Senate does not lack these 2,000 taels of silver. This is just a stepping stone for the arms trade. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the military chiefs had the money. It would be a shame for the elders of the Works and Energy Commission not to make a good profit from them.
Yang Yufan bought 50 guns at once - in fact, he wanted to buy them all, but other people also wanted to buy them, so they had to divide some of them, so Zhang Tao and others bought the remaining 50 guns. Naturally, the pistols also Empty.
