Chapter Ninety-One: Winter in Fuzhou
Although the winter in Fuzhou is not as warm as spring in Guangzhou and Hainan, it is much better than many cities in the north, there was a light snow in early winter, and then there has been no sound, seeing the beginning of spring, the weather is slightly warmer than some time ago, and there is no cold winter rain.
The early morning sunlight shone in through the large glass windows, bypassing the curtains and falling into specks on the woolen carpet of the room.
The moment he opened his eyes, Chen Jingyun felt that his eyes were a little dazzling, so he hurriedly covered them with his hands, and then closed his eyes again, and only opened his eyes after a while and turned his head to look at the clock on the other side It was already more than 8:20 in the morning.
Turning around, he turned to look at the woman who was still asleep next to him, his lovely sleeping appearance made him feel the urge to pinch her face, and at the same time, he also remembered the madness of the two of them last night, Chen Jingyun is not a veteran of the flowers but has been experienced for a long time, and Lin Yun is a little girl who is new to this matter, although Mrs. Lin also mentioned those embarrassing things to her before marriage, but she will be shy and listen carefully, when the matter comes, she can only be at the mercy of Chen Jingyun, and she closed her eyes at first. After Chen Jingyun teased her, it can be regarded as a gradual improvement.
And men and women are very easy to be self-taught, and Lin Yun also mastered the general essentials after half a kung fu, the two fought instantly, and the one who killed was called a dim, and in the end, Lin Yun was defeated under Chen Jingyun's onslaught.
Xu was woken up by Chen Jingyun's fingers, and Lin Yun also opened her eyes in a daze, and the moment she opened her eyes, she was facing Chen Jingyun sideways, when she saw Chen Jingyun's face, the girl was used to panic, and when she was about to scream, she remembered that this person was Chen Jingyun, and she was married to him, and he was her husband.
When I thought about it like this, I remembered last night's incident, and my face instantly flushed.
Chen Jingyun didn't tease her, when he said a few words softly, and then called her up, and after freshening up, the two went to see Chen Yu's again, Chen Yu's looked at the bride squirming and pinching, her face was flushed, and she was overjoyed, saying that the husband and wife should have a good life, give birth to a big fat boy and give her a hug as soon as possible. It's strange to say, Lin Yun was still shy at first, Chen Yu said that when she gave birth to a son earlier, she was not shy, but replied very solemnly: "I will work hard!" ”
Let Chen Jingyun on the side cry and laugh!
During the newlywed, Chen Jingyun was not busy with business, anyway, when those things were never done all year round, the surname Suo gave himself a vacation of two or three days, and ordered the chief of each department to deal with small matters and idle matters by himself, and postpone those major things that can be postponed.
Although the Fujian military and political axe has been in constant infighting since its establishment, it has been bumped and shelved along the way, but on the whole it is still working well, although Zheng Zuyin and Lin Wenying and others think about fighting for power and profit every day, but they also handle the affairs of the military and political axe are acceptable, and many times Chen Jingyun is not too much to worry about himself.
And the army, which needs Chen Jingyun's own efforts, is also in good financial terms. The planning of the Nationalist Army's seven divisions is proceeding steadily, and the readjustment and establishment arrangements of various units are proceeding in an orderly manner under the arrangements of the three major headquarters of the Nationalist Army Headquarters. With Anwarin in the finances, there is no need to worry too much for the time being.
Therefore, Chen Jingyun can be regarded as relaxing and staying in the backyard, occasionally seeing people when they come to see, and more often accompanying Lin Yun, playing during the day and making people at night.
In addition to this, under Chen Yu's arrangement, Luo Li also officially entered Chen Jingyun's door after serving Lin Yun a cup of tea, but Chen Jingyun's identity is special, and this fact cannot be publicized, so except for the inner house of Chen's mansion, it is basically not known to outsiders.
Lin Yun was also born in a big family, and this kind of thing of three wives and four concubines has long been commonplace, her father also married several concubines, but as soon as his father died, his mother immediately drove those unborn concubines out of the house.
Of course, although I agree with these in my concept, and I also know that Luo Li has already been used by Chen Jingyun, but women always have some taste in their hearts, so Chen Jingyun tried not to go to Luo Li's room during this time, and I will talk about it later.
Chen Jingyun was in Fuzhou, living a newlywed life, but the whole system of Fujian is still running smoothly, with Chen Jingyun's wedding, officials and generals from all over the country who came to congratulate have returned to the station, and Ma Cheng also integrated the main force of the second division, the third day led the troops to Zhejiang.
At the same time, a special salary office under the logistics department of the Nationalist Army also sent more than 30 commissioners to the southern part of Zhejiang, and these commissioners of the special salary office will go to the counties in southern Zhejiang under the control of the Nationalist Army to collect military salaries from the local political axes in the name of co-paying, that is, to collect taxes from most areas in southern Zhejiang in disguise.
Although it is not easy for Chen Jingyun to incorporate southern Zhejiang into his administrative system in a big way at present, it is still possible to collect taxes by such covert means. Of course, in this process, it is inevitable to cooperate with the local national army garrison, in other words, in these years, if you have a gun, you are the boss, and there are 10,000 or 20,000 people of the national army staying in Zhejiang, and basically no local political axe dares to resist and refuse to give it.
This situation is not unique to Zhejiang, almost all the provinces of the uprising are similar to the pattern, except for Fujian and Yunnan, which have completed the reunification, the other provinces are in chaos, and the troops in transit or stationed will collect money from the local political axes to support the army.
Fujian is busy, Nanjing is not idle, Sun Wen is worried about military salaries all day long, and Huang Xing is to integrate the people's army near Nanjing, but the shortage of pay is too serious, the reorganization of the army has not been implemented at all, on the surface, Nanjing has reorganized 26 divisions, in addition to the two divisions in Fujian, there are 24 divisions, but these troops are only numbered, most of the troops may have the number of people, but the ordnance is absolutely uneven, not to mention heavy weapons, even rifle bullets are not much. Among them, Xu Baoshan's Second Army was better, and the foundation of the two divisions was Huang Xing's Northern Expeditionary Army, that is, the earlier Southern Coalition Army, and in the final analysis, it was the new army of the uprising in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.
The personnel of the 11th and 12th divisions of the Second Army are relatively well equipped, although they also lack all materials such as heavy weapons, bullets and shells, but with Huang Xing's staring, how many officers and soldiers have received some military salaries and food in the past two months, and if they really fight, it is estimated that they can fight a dozen, as for the other troops, there is no need to mention! Many high-level officials in Nanjing never expected them, and Sun Wen wondered whether to dismiss these people's troops.
However, now is an important juncture in the peace talks, Sun Wen does not dare to dismiss these people's troops in one go, there has already been a mutiny some time ago, if you say that you want to be dismissed, it is estimated that you don't need Beiyang to do anything, these people's troops can overturn the Nanjing Provisional Political Axe.
There are not many in Nanjing, and it is not easy for Beiyang!
Although Yuan Shikai received a verbal promise from Longyu, the Qing Emperor could not make a single day without issuing an edict of abdication.
While Yuan Shikai was anxious about the abdication of the Qing Emperor, he was also worried about the finances.
The Beiyang Army originally had more than 100,000 people, and after the Wuchang Uprising, Yuan Shikai successively recruited tens of thousands of people to supplement the battle losses and shortages of various troops, and he was also ready to draw some veteran officers from various units to form the Seventh Town. Together with Zhang Xun's Jiangfang Army, as well as some other miscellaneous armies, the number of troops under the Beiyang system was as high as hundreds of thousands. Before the Wuchang incident, the whole country naturally did not need him Yuan Shikai to worry about it, but since the Wuchang incident, it is impossible for the southern provinces to continue to provide taxes to the north, and even the northeast side is a little dragged, and relying on the financial revenue of several provinces near Hebei and Shandong alone cannot fill this big hole at all.
Longyu and other Manchu magnates saw that the world was not theirs, and they didn't care about the surname Suo, and they were going to abdicate anyway, so naturally there was no reason to take out any more money.
The Qing court didn't care, but the old Yuan couldn't ignore it, during this period of time, Yuan Shikai spent a lot of money accumulated in recent years, seeing that it couldn't go on like this, Yuan Shikai sent people to speed up negotiations with the banking group of the four countries, and strive to get the loan as soon as possible.
Against such a restless background, on February 12, the Qing Emperor issued an edict of abdication and published it in major newspapers.
For a time, the whole country was full of emotion, and many people took to the streets to celebrate each other: the republic is over!
Chen Jingyun naturally got the news much earlier than ordinary people, in fact, when the Qing court was ready to abdicate, he already knew, not only did he know, Sun Wen, Huang Xing and other real power figures basically knew it, officially because they knew this, so the negotiations could go smoothly, and what they were waiting for was the official announcement. The only people who are kept in the dark are ordinary people.
Although he already knew that it would be this one to take over, but when he really learned that the Qing court announced his abdication, Chen Jingyun was still greatly relieved, as long as the Qing emperor abdicated, the north-south peace talks were finally completed, and he didn't have to worry about the Beiyang Army being overwhelmed at any time for the time being, as long as the north-south peace talks were successful, then he could get a buffer time, even if Yuan Shikai wanted to unify by force Chen Jingyun asked himself that he would be able to protect himself after having this buffer.
As soon as the edict of the abdication of the Qing Emperor was issued, almost everyone regarded Yuan Shikai as a hero of the republic, and even Cai Ye published an article in the newspaper saying that Yuan Gong's move laid the foundation of the Chinese republic.
However, just after the Qing Emperor issued the edict of abdication, the atmosphere of Sun Wen and others in Nanjing was a little heavy.
Huang Xingdao: "At the beginning, we agreed, and we took the initiative to say it several times, and the whole country knew that we promised Yuan Shikai that as long as he pulled down the Qing Emperor, then let him be the president!" Now that he has done it, are we going to repent? ”
Sun Wen frowned and said: "Although it was a helpless move to do this at the beginning, since the words have been spoken, it is natural to admit it!" ”
Song Jiaoren on the side also said: "I know that you are worried that Yuan Shikai will rely on his power to do the matter of reading talents, but don't worry, our alliance will also have an advantage, and when the time comes, when the parliament opens, we can at least take half of the seats, so why worry about changing the cabinet system when the time comes!" ”
Sun Wen stood up at this time: "I will officially announce my resignation tomorrow!" ”
