Chapter 202 Negotiation
A military power politician has completely different ideas. Whether he, the president of the revolutionary Guangdong army, has to obey the orders of the revolutionary government, depends on whether the opinions of the revolutionary government are agreed with him. If the opinions are consistent, he will follow the instructions of the revolutionary government. If there is disagreement, it is a different matter.
"Oh, in this way, President Wu welcomes General Long to move to Guangdong?" Cai Naihuang said distortedly.
"Mr. Cai, I will first clarify my position. I welcome the Twenty-Three Towns very and enthusiastically, and submit to the purpose of my revolutionary government. As long as General Long is willing to shave off his braids, change his flags and change his banners, and make up his mind, we can completely plan for other things from a long time." Wu Shaoting put aside Cai Naihuang's tricks and said to the point.
Cai Naihuang was slightly stunned and thought to himself: This young man is really a bit scheming!
He laughed and said like a politician: "The great revolutionary cause is now in full swing, and the anti-Qing Dynasty in China is still a foregone conclusion. At this time, how could General Long not support the revolution? Haha, General Long sent a mission to the revolutionary government this time. In addition to negotiating the position of the Twenty-Three Towns with Governor Hu, more importantly, he discussed the resettlement of the Twenty-Three Towns with President Wu!"
When Wu Shaoting heard this, his face changed. Long Jiguang asked himself to discuss the resettlement of the Twenty-Three Towns. Isn’t this a weasel greeting the chickens for New Year? If we understand it according to Cai Naihuang’s superficial meaning, it is that the Twenty-Three Towns officially obeyed the jurisdiction of the Revolutionary Government Military Department. But he knew very well that Long Jiguang would definitely not be so easily condescending to the nobles. You must know that even Zhaoqing was just a nominal support. Long Jiguang was much stronger than Li Yaohan, so how could it be so easy?
The officers present at the First Division reacted the same as Wu Shaoting, and even more powerful to the extent. They couldn't help but whispering to each other to discuss the hidden intentions that Cai Naihuang said.
"President Wu also asks you not to doubt it. General Long and even Guangdong are just around the corner. Under Shaoguan, the whole province has no longer threatened the Guangzhou Revolutionary Government. Now the Second Division of the Revolutionary Guangdong Army has launched a northern expedition, which has proved the rapid development of the revolution in the country. General Long is naturally sincere and sincere in his efforts to discuss the matters after the change of the flag." Cai Naihuang saw Wu Shaoting's surprise and then said further. He seemed to deliberately smile with a proud smile when he spoke, as if he was contempt and creating a strange atmosphere.
"Is that so? Is it really sincerity?" Wu Shaoting sneered and questioned.
"General Long's heart is expressive." Cai Naihuang said solemnly.
"Okay, I want to hear your opinion first, Mr. Cai. General Long plans to ask me how to resettle the Twenty-Three Towns?" Wu Shaoting asked calmly and slowly.
"General Long has no plans. Since he has joined the revolutionary government, the big and small matters will naturally be instructed by the revolutionary government, and General Long follows the instructions. Even if he wants to change the number, change the system, and cut off his hair and wear, it is all a matter of duty. The reason why the inferior people did not lose their braids was not because they were disrespectful to the revolution, but because they moved from Wuzhou to Yunfu, they followed the mission. It was really flawless. I believe that General Long would settle the Yunfu military affairs and would inevitably order the entire town to cut off his hair!" Cai Naihuang said a lot of words, looking sincere, but clearly diverted the main problems.
Wu Shaoting knew that Cai Naihuang was polite first and then soldiers, and said a lot of nice words, but in the final analysis, he still didn't say what Long Jiguang asked. Cai Naihuang knew Wu Shaoting's ambition, so he tried to adopt this kind of gentle approach to cycling and gradual progress. First, he had to leave a good impression on Wu Shaoting, and then discuss the details. Since it was a discussion, it was necessary to retreat and not make concessions, and competing for profits was essential.
"Is this really the case?" Wu Shaoting said half-believingly.
"Haha, is General Long still reluctant to join the revolutionary government?" Cai Naihuang asked with a smile.
Wu Shaoting smiled and replied to the question, "That's OK. Since the twenty-three towns have joined the revolutionary government and are willing to accept the leadership of the Revolutionary Army Military Department, there is almost nothing to discuss. Go back and tell General Long and let him wait for the military department's arrangements."
Cai Naihuang's face changed slightly. Wu Shaoting was really in power. He paused and said, "Although that's right, Cai must know General Wu's general arrangements when he came here, let alone the details of the supply of the twenty-three towns after the change of flags should be explained."
Wu Shaoting showed a cold smile. He knew that Cai Naihuang had been forced to the point of being forced by him, so he said, "Is that so? Mr. Cai, I asked you at the beginning that General Long can raise any requests first, so that I can understand what General Long is trying to transfer the twenty-three towns to Yunfu. Why do Mr. Cai have to say so much nonsense? He just said that everything was followed by the rebellion of the revolutionary government, and now there are many requirements. Why, are you worried that I will use public interest for personal gain?"
Cai Naihuang maintained a calm attitude and continued: "Outsiders naturally don't know what President Wu thinks. However, Cai sincerely came to discuss the details of the resettlement of the 23 towns with President Wu today. Why did President Wu avoid talking about it?"
Wu Shaoting really didn't want to discuss any details of resettlement with Cai Naihuang, because these are nonsense. The only purpose of Long Jiguang's sending Cai Naihuang over was to blackmail the revolutionary government to bear the military expenditure of the twenty-three towns. He even guessed that Hu Hanmin's promise to Cai Naihuang was that Hu Hanmin wanted all the troops in the world to surrender to the revolutionary government. As for the maintenance after surrender, it was reasonable. But surrender was only nominal. Will these powerful factions run around for the revolution? Who knows?
Of course, this cannot be said that Hu Hanmin is a fool. What the Tongmenghui urgently needs now is to create a great momentum of the revolution, and even nominal surrender must be fought for. When it has enough influence, it can even force the army to be disbanded.
It’s just one thing that only when the tiger is raised can I realize that it’s too late to kill tigers.
"Avoid talking? What a person who avoids talking? Let me ask you, you are so arrogant and suddenly come to me and ask me to tell you how much military salary and military rations to give to twenty-three towns every month, and divide those counties and towns into the defense areas of the twenty-three towns, and then General Long wants to hold a position in the revolutionary government! Don't treat me as a fool!" Wu Shaoting said coldly.
At this time, even though Cai Naihuang didn't want the conversation to break down, it was obvious that Wu Shaoting was determined to be tough.
His face became ugly, and the followers who followed him also changed their faces.
The atmosphere in the entire living room suddenly entered the ice age, and the smell of gunpowder and the provocation of nakedness appeared on the paper.
Wu Shaoting will not be weak at this time. He and Long Jiguang are both powerful people. Weakness is enough to be left to Hu Hanmin and Liao Zhongkai and others to sing. At this stage, his interests are consistent with the interests of the revolutionary government, and any threat to the revolutionary government will hinder his authority.
Cai Naihuang felt the pressure multiplied. He thought Wu Shaoting and Hu Hanmin were birds of a feather, and they were both worried about the safety of the fruits of the revolution, so he would inevitably take a safe way to deal with the Twenty-Three Towns. What's more, he was very polite at the beginning, and he put the revolutionary government in a respectful position everywhere, but obviously all this did not work. Wu Shaoting saw through a hypocritical window in front of both sides at a glance.
"President Wu, what do you mean? You don't take General Long and our Twenty-Three Towns seriously." Cai Naihuang said angrily.
"If you sincerely support the revolution, then you go back now and let the entire army of the twenty-three towns cut off the whip, then ask General Long what he meant, and then talk to me. Remember, ask General Long clearly what he meant!" Wu Shaoting said with great momentum without any mercy. The last sentence was even word by word, which aggravated his tone. After saying this, he suddenly stood up and walked out of the living room.
After leaving the house, he ordered Deng Keng: "Send the guests."
Cai Naihuang sat in the seat for a while, and he was shocked. Wu Shaoting was really unpredictable. From smiling to black face, it was simply changed. However, he also found that Wu Shaoting changed his face after he understood his purpose. It seemed that Wu Shaoting had no room for trust in the suppression of the Twenty-Three. It seemed that it was necessary to re-examine Wu Shaoting's role!
