Chapter 97

As soon as he finished speaking, someone sent another telegram at the door. Yin Weijun went out to receive the telegram and came back. When Fang Jianxiong read the content, he smiled bitterly and said: "The trip to Shanghai will be postponed. Xu Shaojie came from Bengbu with two people and will arrive tomorrow at the latest."

"That's just right. It's safer to go to Shanghai by water. It takes time to arrange the ship." Yin Ruizhi said that he was about to go out. Fang Jianxiong reached out to stop him: "Let's go to Nanjing and take the train. Through your relationship, arrange for me to meet Huang Xing.

.”

What do you say about Huang Xing? He is relatively clean among the Tongmenghui! He is said to be clean because he is not very involved in conspiracy.

Starting from Bengbu and heading south, the land of Jiangbei is full of vitality.

Roads are being built everywhere along the way. Although it is not too busy after spring plowing, it is normal for young and middle-aged people to leave the work in the fields to the elderly. Besides, if there is a double robbery, the construction will be suspended. Farm work cannot be delayed. This is a death.

Regulation.

Leng Yu and Tang Zhidao, who followed Xu Shaojian all the way south, were secretly amazed at the phenomenon of road construction everywhere they went. Road construction is not a small expense. Such large-scale road construction, even simple road expansion and leveling

, human investment alone is not a problem that can be solved casually.

The two of them were very patient. They didn't find a chance to ask a farmer who was crossing the river until they were on the ferry to Tang Zhidao.

"The strong laborers are five coppers a day, and there are three women. They are responsible for one meal at noon. Whose field is not busy and everyone rushes to do it?"

"Then why don't you do it?"

"I have a craft, and I work in a factory in Wuhu. I have an ocean and a half a month, so I don't care about this."

The conversation with the farmers made the two of them somewhat emotional. Standing side by side and looking at the river, what they saw and heard along the way was really a different world compared to other places.

After leaving Nanjing, Leng Huan chose to go to Bengbu. Unexpectedly, Tang Zhidao arrived first, and the two joined forces. Xu Shaojie was very happy that the two of them had arrived one after another, and said that they would be reused. But the prerequisite was that first

Went to Wuhu. After meeting Fang Jianxiong, we looked at his arrangements. At the same time, he told the two of them that the National Defense Forces had some unique tactics of their own. The two of them estimated that they would have to spend a month in the Wuhu cadre training class.

"Can you believe it if you haven't seen it with your own eyes? Officials in other places are scraping money, either putting it in their pockets or using it to buy arms to expand their strength. But in Anhui, people's livelihood is being restored everywhere.

"Tang Zhidao couldn't help but sigh. Leng Xun held on to the railing with one hand and exhaled heavily: "Fang Fuguo devotes his energy to people's livelihood, which is worrying!"

The national elites of this era are probably the generation that is most concerned about the country and the people. The humiliation since the Opium War spurred most of this generation of elites to the path of armed revolution to overthrow the Qing Dynasty. There is a saying in later generations. The Manchus

What if the Qing Dynasty established a constitution? In fact, history has already given the answer. This is an assumption that is completely unrealistic and divorced from reality.

"What are you two thinking about?" Xu Shaojie appeared quietly. Tang Zhidao and Leng Yu stood at attention and saluted: "Hello, Commander Xu!"

Xu Shaojie now wears the title of deputy commander of the National Defense Force and concurrently serves as the commander of the Sixth Division. It can be said that he has gained great trust from Fang Jianxiong. There is the bitterness of having no one available to Fang Jianxiong. There is also the meaning of buying horse bones with a thousand gold. All the investment is not worth it.

In vain, Leng Yu and Tang Zhidao were both military talents during this period.

Talents who are more outstanding but have been buried by history. After the compromise between Nanjing and Beiyang, they were reluctant and went to Bengbu one after another. Similar to this. There were many people who were dissatisfied with the compromise between Nanjing and Beiyang, and they left their posts in Nanjing one after another.

The number of people who have defected to the National Defense Forces has reached over a hundred in the past month or two.

The continuous investment of these people has greatly eased the National Defense Force's need for officers.

"We are almost at the Wuhu Pier. Let's all be energetic." Xu Shaoji smiled at the two of them with satisfaction, thinking that the Democratic Party could not retain talents. Xu Shaoji saw some things in his eyes and took them to heart. The Nanjing Provisional Government was established

After that, I had territory and rights in my hands.

Most of the revolutionaries were degenerating rapidly. They originally pinned their hopes on Sun Wen, but after Sun's arrival, they did nothing to deal with these phenomena. To put it bluntly, many people in Nanjing, even the Qing Dynasty

They are not as good as other officials, and their food and appearance are uglier.

But what about Wuhu, which is just around the corner? It is a completely different scene, especially in terms of the military. The National Defense Forces show a completely different mental outlook. What really impressed Xu Shaojie was the current system of the National Defense Forces, which ensures the basic internal conditions of the military.

Fairness has eradicated the breeding ground for warlords. Xu Shaojie, who was a former soldier, knew very well how warlords were formed.

When the ship docked and saw the guards on the pier, Xu Shaojian immediately said to the two of them: "The commander-in-chief is here!" He immediately put on his military cap and tidied up his military appearance. In the National Defense Serviceman's Manual, there are strict requirements for military appearance and discipline that are almost abnormal.

The situation. These two have also read the military manual, so they naturally know Marshal Fang's rules.

"Xu Shaojie has met the Marshal! Thank you for your hard work, Marshal. Why don't you come and pick him up in person?" Xu Shaojie has an old-school style. He said this, and he actually felt very comfortable. This face is too much, especially in front of him.

The faces of Tang Zhidao and Leng Yu.

"Brother, this is too polite. Only when you are in Bengbu can Jiangbei be safe. What's the point of Jianxiong coming out to greet you? By the way, these two are the two generals of Leng Yutang mentioned in the telegram, right?" Fang Jianxiong's attitude

It's the same as before, but I didn't correct Xu Shaoji's title.

"Leng Xun (Tang Zhidao) has seen the commander-in-chief!" The two men stepped forward to salute and speak. They had been warned before that Fang Jianxiong did not like the soldiers saying greetings and so on. Naturally, there would be no mistakes in the details.

"Welcome you two to join the ranks of the National Defense Forces. Frankly speaking, the National Defense Forces are short of people now, especially those of you who are studying in Japan and have received long-term systematic military training. However, I still have to say ugly things up front. You two need to go to Army University for further studies.

Over a period of time, you will master some of our army’s unique tactics.”

Fang Jianxiong did not come by car, mainly because he thought that Xu Shaoji must be riding south. After greetings, everyone rode forward. When Fang Jianxiong and Xu Shaoji walked side by side, Xu Shaoji took the opportunity to report some things about Bengbu. Fang Jianxiong nodded frequently and said: "Jianghuai has been around since ancient times.

Send out strong troops. This time when I go back, I will put more emphasis on the security forces.

Kung Fu. We have not yet formed a complete mobilization system, and the security forces can be said to be the only qualified source of troops. Large states like Hefei, Fuyang, Bengbu, and Huainan must have at least one security brigade with old-fashioned equipment that can be replaced by the main force.

Rifles. The main force of the National Defense Force is being reorganized, and the affairs of Jiangbei will be left to my elder brother."

Xu Shaojian felt that there was a strong sense of trust here. Although the security forces were all local forces, in fact, without the security forces in the National Defense Force system, future replacement would be a big problem. This also involves the issue of local financial support. It can be said that Fang Jianxiong

It gave Xu Shaoji great power. Let's put it this way, Xu Shaoji is now the largest official in Jiangbei and holds the most power.

"You must do your best in your humble position!" Xu Shaojie didn't say big words, and this was not the time to talk big words.

Fang Jianxiong nodded to express his understanding. He looked back at Tang and Leng and said with a smile: "You two must be prepared. The National Defense Force's B Division still lacks several division commanders. You two are ready to take over. Don't underestimate this B Division. It's also a division."

The establishment of the third regiment of the division is attached to a 75th artillery battalion. And it won't be long before it will be upgraded to an A-type division. The key is that the current equipment is insufficient, otherwise I would like to organize sixteen A-type divisions in one go."

This reassurance has given the two of them a clear idea of ​​what the National Defense Force's Type B Division is like. They have also read the compilation outline, and they know that even a Type B Division can be deployed against a town in Beiyang.

Fight a dozen. Against the mixed brigades that often appear in Beiyang, it is really a comprehensive and overwhelming advantage.

After arriving at the military camp, Fang Jianxiong and Xu Shao frame returned to the headquarters. Guards Tang and Leng went to the military academy to report first. After arranging everything, they had three days of vacation. The next day, they went out to the city together and had a good time together.

I had a lot of emotion. We discussed on the way back and each wrote a letter to his old subordinates. Anyway, one by one, the future in the National Defense Force is obviously better than elsewhere. Now that the National Defense Force is reorganizing and expanding, it is the time to recruit people. Those who have the talent

Subordinates who have experience in leading troops can come and receive three months of training before they can join the army and lead troops. If you don't come now, it will probably be difficult to join in the future. Just look at the number of students in the military academy.

Nanjing responded quickly to the news that Fang Jianxiong was going to Shanghai. They only brought a guard battalion with them. When Fang Jianxiong appeared outside Nanjing, Huang Xing, who was left behind in Nanjing, went out of the city to greet him personally.

In fact, Huang Xing's feelings towards Fang Jianxiong are very complicated. How should I put it? Hostility is greater than admiration. This is roughly the mentality. With the development of the domestic situation, Huang Xing's hostility toward Fang Jianxiong gradually faded away. Looking at the late period of Xinhai to the Second

During the first revolution, Huang Xing's revolutionary enthusiasm seemed to be far less than before.

"Brother Keqiang! Excuse me!" Fang Jianxiong got out of the car fifty steps away and strode forward to greet him.

Huang Xing also stepped forward and handed over his hand five steps away. Unexpectedly, he was overtaken by Fang Jianxiong. "Brother Fu Guo, it's been a hard journey!"

After some pleasantries, they got into Huang Xing's car. When the two of them sat in the back seat, Fang Jianxiong took the initiative and asked with a smile: "Brother Keqiang, what do you think of the current domestic situation?"

When Huang Xing heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned and said: "The constitutional government of the Republic of China, the cabinet presided over the government, and the provisional law was the cornerstone. The amendment of the constitution determined the world. There are mature examples in Western countries. Is it possible that Brother Fuguo has other ideas?"

Fang Jianxiong showed the same look and smiled without saying a word. Huang Xing was somewhat annoyed by the look, and when he was about to stare and ask, Fang Jianxiong first raised his hand and made a downward gesture and said: "Brother Keqiang, please be patient.

, let me tell you slowly."

"Please speak!" Huang Xing held up his hands, showing the intention of being taught. Fang Jianxiong said unhurriedly: "The result of the general election is that the Kuomintang will win. Brother Keqiang, do you think Yuan Shikai can accept this result?" Fang Jianxiong originally said

I also want to say something: "Can Sun Yat-sen accept the reality that the Kuomintang is led by Song Jiaoren? Sun is not you!" Think about it, there is nothing to say. The fog of history, speculation without clear evidence, is ultimately speculation and inference.!~
