Chapter 357 Chaos World (5)
Yang Du finally left Wang Zhenyu's Wenlu at two o'clock in the morning. He was in a very relaxed mood because Wang Zhenyu had promised at the end of the meeting that he would appoint himself as the governor of Hubei Provincial Government, and the former governor Yang Yongtai no longer held the position. If he had to be in the former Qing Dynasty, it would be equivalent to a real lack of such a deficit as the governor of Zhili. He had been working with Wang Zhenyu for almost a year, and Yang Du finally obtained his first actual position, which was not obtained in Yuan Shikai's hands. How can you not make him feel comfortable? Of course, the reward requires efforts. He solved several problems for Wang Zhenyu just now.
Yang Du now sees the content of Wang Zhenyu's entire power structure very clearly. On the one hand, Wang Zhenyu's control over all forces is very mature and in place. It is not as comprehensive as Yuan Shikai, but it is more efficient and has more obvious results. In comparison, Old Yuan plays too weakly and makes others not sell his accounts. Wang Zhenyu is much smarter than Old Yuan. People throw out power and control the general direction himself. Whether the people at the bottom support Wang Zhenyu or not, they will become restrained after obtaining real power. Naturally, they dare not go against the general direction set by Wang Zhenyu anymore. They even cooperate from time to time to ensure that their vested interests are not taken back by Wang Zhenyu. In this way, Wang Zhenyu's actual control ability in the overall situation is far greater than that of Yuan Shikai who likes to give false positions but not real power. Yang Du feels that this is the so-called master, and this is the so-called kingly way.
But on the other hand, people's hearts are selfish, and power resources are always scarce, which leads to the people appointed by Wang Zhenyu joining together consciously or unconsciously. For example, Xu Yuanquan's Hubei system and Li Zongren's Gui system that have always existed in the military system, which is more representative of another great strategist Yang Yongtai who has never dealt with. This man created a small group called the Political Science Department. During this period, he was linked with the Xiangnan system led by Cheng Qian in the military system. It is very meaningful to join forces with the military and political parties. Of course, it seems that this behavior has caused Wang Zhenyu's disgust, as far as Yang Du knows, Yang Yongtai is in Wuhan now, but Wang Zhenyu only summoned him, which is obviously wary of Yang Yongtai, and now he has erased his position as governor of Hubei Province to himself. His intention is self-evident. Yang Du also secretly warned himself that since he started his army, he has been wandering half of his body and finally gained heavy use in this National Government. If you want to be longer, you must be cautious, not form a clique or engage in personal gain, and just follow Wang Zhenyu, a young man, and the glory and wealth of himself and his family are all related to him.
Wang Zhenyu, who sent Yang Du away, obviously also benefited a lot, otherwise he would not have easily promised Mr. Xizi to be the governor. He walked back and forth a few steps in the room with some excitement, sorted out his own ideas, and then said to Chen Bulei who had been standing beside him: "Secretary Chen, you go and organize your writing style. That's it. I want a tribute to the heroic souls of the Expeditionary Army. In addition, I have a few orders to issue to Chief of Staff Wan of the General Staff. You record it and then go to convey it yourself. In addition, I thought about it, you are still a military citizen. Last time you said you didn't like to wear military uniforms. If you don't like this, you won't wear it, but it's still necessary to get a military citizen."
Chen Bulei is a very stubborn scholar, so from the bottom of his heart he is very reluctant to wear military uniforms. However, since the commander mentioned it to him a few times, he was not able to refuse. He nodded and took out a small notebook to start recording the orders.
"This first order is to summon General Bai Chongxi, commander of the Chinese European Expeditionary Force, and General Zhu Zhixin, chief of staff, to return to China to report their duties, and appoint Lieutenant General Liejun, Minister of the Army, as acting commander of the Chinese European Expeditionary Force, Lieutenant General Jiang Baili as acting chief of staff, and Gu Weijun is the senior foreign affairs senator. During this period, the mission positioning of the Expeditionary Force was rested and rested. Some expeditionary forces can be returned to China with General Bai and General Zhu and others. The country can draw some troops to Europe to participate in the Expeditionary Force. For specific troops, the General Staff will report a plan first."
I thought for a while and said, "This second order is to set up a martyr's temple in Zijin Mountain, Nanjing to pay homage to the martyrs who died in the revolution, and to set up a martyr's temple in Guishan, Wuhan to pay homage to the martyrs who died in the national disaster, and to set up a management bureau to ensure that their incense is endless,."
It is said that when Bai Chongxi, who was resting in the Lyon area with 180,000 expeditionary soldiers, saw the telegram calling him back to China to report his work, his face turned pale and said nothing, which made the staff officers around him silent.
Li Liejun, who was then the Minister of the Army, was a bit funny. When the National Government was established, Li Liejun chose to continue to serve in the military system rather than transfer to civil servants. However, in the following days, he became a deputy chief of staff of the General Staff of the General Staff. He obviously became difficult. A large number of non-direct troops were included in the reserve system by the National Armed Forces Mobilization Department. In fact, he was not in charge of the troops and was paid 40% of the salary and was waiting to die. Because of the current industrial production capacity, the armed front-line combat troops were very reluctant. Li Liejun was also a fierce man, so he naturally refused to agree to this and intervened. He originally thought he would break up, but Wang Zhenyu was really a person with a strong ambition. Li Liejun made such a fuss, so his direct troops didn't have to go to the reserve force and were directly assigned to the security forces being formed in various places as officers. Although he was still laid off, it would be better than being sent to the reserve force. Even if Li Liejun had a violent personality, he could only accept this arrangement.
When Mr. Keqiang was critically ill, Li Liejun was suddenly summoned by Huang Xing, and he was then introduced to Wang Longzhong's disciple. The days seemed to be getting better after that. A large number of generals from the Tongmenghui team had to be transferred to civil service, but Li Liejun never moved. However, after Mr. Keqiang passed away, he was arranged to serve as the Minister of the Army. This third-level department is strictly a part of the Ministry of National Defense system. The current leader of the Ministry of National Defense system is Xu Chongzhi, but in the Military Commission and Under the suppression of four powerful agencies of the General Staff, the Ministry of Armed Forces and the National Armed Forces Mobilization Department, the Ministry of National Defense has only two jobs left, one is to issue various letters of appointment and the other is to appoint military officers abroad. The Army Department is even more a joke. The Navy Department can at least participate in the establishment of the new navy. The Army Department’s biggest job is to write letters to the families of the Expeditionary Force, telling them that their children have died gloriously for the interests of the motherland and the nation in distant Europe.
The Army Department does not even have basic human rights and financial powers. What Li Liejun can do now is to go to Room 201, 201, 2nd floor, Tianyuan Outdoor Building, Tianyuan Place every day. When he is fine, he plays chess with his assistant to the minister, Major General Ouyang Wu, to relieve his boredom. Major General Ouyang Wu is an old subordinate of Li Liejun's Gan Army. He had a rift because of the Second Revolution. However, in the issue of his transfer to the reserve service, because of Li Liejun's efforts and his life in the past six months, the relationship between the two has been as reconciled as before. Every day, they hold a chess book and study it while studying. In fact, the officers in the department know that the chess skills of these two are very bad, so they usually don't go up to play chess. Only one adjutant is responsible for cooking kung fu tea for them and then quit. Their lives are leisurely.
However, on the morning of June 15, the adjutant sent a military information notice, which said that Duan Qirui also established the "Dingguo Army" General Command in Tuanhe, and served as the commander-in-chief, Xu Shuzheng as the chief of staff, Duan Zhigui as the commander-in-chief of the 1st Route and the commander-in-chief of the capital, Qu Tongfeng as the commander-in-chief of the 2nd Route and the commander-in-chief of the front enemy, Wei Zonghan as the commander-in-chief of the 3rd Route, Zhang Xun as the commander-in-chief of the 4th Route, Ni Sichong as the commander-in-chief of the 5th Route, and forced Li Yuanhong to announce the order to punish Cao Kun, Wu Peifu and others, and then Duan Qirui announced the attack on Cao Kun, Lu Jianzhang, Wu Peifu, Feng Yuxiang and others,.
Li Liejun looked at it and found it boring, so he threw it to Ouyang Wu. Ouyang Wu glanced at it and said, "We still care about what we do. We don't know if we have a chance to lead troops in this life, so let's play chess."
Li Liejun sighed when he heard this: "We are not as good as Zhu Zhixin. At least he has made achievements in Europe with Sun Yat-sen's relationship. Mr. Keqiang left too early. Let's not talk about this anymore. Brother Nan Lei, I will definitely beat you today,."
He was playing openly and closed, and suddenly there was a knock on the door. Li Liejun was at a disadvantage and was in a very unhappy mood. What happened to this adjutant? He usually doesn't come in when he plays chess, but he is not happy, Li Liejun still said kindly in. This year's experience has long smoothed his bad temper.
The adjutant came in carefully and saluted: "Report to Minister Li, colleagues from the General Staff Department are looking for you."
Li Liejun was stunned for a moment, and before he could speak, the adjutant came in immediately were two young colonel officers. Hi, there were many young school officials in the Youth Army.
These two people are really tempted, but it doesn’t matter. Li Liejun, who doesn’t visit each other on weekdays, looks at everyone now.
"Report to Minister Li, we are the staff officers of the General Staff Office. Now we will read to you the latest order issued by General Staff Wan: Lieutenant General Liejun is appointed as the acting commander of the Chinese European Expeditionary Force, and Lieutenant General Chiang's Episode is the acting chief of staff. The order will take effect now. Now please go to the Standing Committee Building and General Staff Wan to meet with Chairman."
When Li Liejun heard this order, his eyes immediately became straight, while Ouyang Wu behind him had his eyes shining. A real man lived for a lifetime, and wasn’t he trying to resolve the world’s affairs in front of him and leave behind his achievements and fame?
Ouyang Wu stabbed Li Liejun several times with his hand. Li Liejun was so excited that tears were almost coming out. He turned around and grabbed Ouyang Wu's feelings: "Brother Nan Lei, the council did not forget us, I did not forget us."
Ouyang Wu quickly reminded Li Liejun that he still had to meet the boss now and never lose his composure.
