Chapter 22 Fighting in the Open and Dark
After the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are determined, the next is the Ministry of Finance, this position is very critical, Chen Jingyun does not want to be controlled by outsiders, there are several generals under him, but there is no one around him who can be in charge of finance, it is really estimated that Chen Yanghui, his housekeeper, and Li Yanen, the general manager of the textile factory, and these two people are not suitable to talk about things on this occasion, looking at the large group of people below, Chen Jingyun worked hard to choose the candidate who was beneficial to him, and after thinking hard, he put forward his own candidate:" I propose Mr. Anwarin! ”
Anwarin, who is about 50 years old, also has a large number of industries in Fujian, and is not in the top three in Fuzhou in terms of financial resources, but the top ten is certainly no problem, and like other wealthy businessmen and gentry, he also joined in the excitement to run for a councillor, thus becoming a member of the Advisory Council. However, this person is not a member of the Alliance, and this time he came to be dragged by Zheng Zuyin's group of people from the Alliance. When he suddenly heard Chen Jingyun propose to be the finance minister, he was immediately stunned, he didn't have this preparation before, he originally planned to go back after a circle, and then continue to do his own business and make his own money, as for what revolutionary republic, let them go, as long as they don't block themselves from making money, it doesn't matter who becomes the emperor and president!
The reason why Chen Jingyun proposed this person was very simple, that is, he was not a member of the Alliance, and at the same time, his family's industry was also somewhat related to his industry. It is better to support someone they know than to let Zheng Zuyin and them get another member of the alliance to be the finance minister.
Although An Hualin was not prepared, after hearing Chen Jingyun's recommendation, he was still stunned at first, but he was also a person who had gone through the ups and downs, and after being stunned, he came back to his senses, stood up, and said modestly with a smile on his face: "There, there, how can I be an certain person!" ”
Zheng Zuyin originally had another candidate for finance to recommend, but Chen Jingyun pushed An Hualin out first, thinking that Chen Jingyun had just supported him as the chief of civil affairs, and he also agreed to his proposal to propose Lin Changmin as the foreign minister, and it was not easy to propose another candidate at the moment, originally a group of people from the alliance were looking at Zheng Zuyin's face, but seeing that Zheng Zuyin did not speak, Lin Wenying snorted coldly in his heart and did not object.
Peng Shousong had the heart to oppose it, but he himself knew that his words were useless, so he could only mutter: Revolution, revolution, it's only been one day, and all this power will fall into the hands of others.
If the alliance is like this, several other people will not oppose it, and the generals below Chen Jingyun will naturally support Chen Jingyun. Soon, Anwarin got the position of finance minister. After the important position of finance minister was in hand, everyone's eyes naturally fell on the Ministry of Military Affairs.
It stands to reason that Chen Jingyun will never give up this military power, whether it is the generals under him or the people of the Alliance, they all believe that Chen Jingyun will support his descendants to take the throne. And the people of the Alliance will definitely not be willing to give up this important position, and they will definitely fight for it. It is foreseeable that the position of this military department will usher in a fierce competition.
Zheng Zuyin did not shy away from it at all, and said directly: "I suggest that Lin Wenying be the chief of the military affairs department!" Then he swept his eyes and said, "Let's talk about whether it is suitable or not."
Before Chen Jingyun, the big guy, could speak, An Hualin spoke: "I think, this military affairs department is very important, and the position of the chief needs to be cautious and cautious!" The implication is that Lin Wenying is not suitable to be the chief of the military affairs department.
As a party to the party, Ma Cheng is not easy to speak, but the generals under Chen Jingyun have no worries, and immediately said in unison: "We support Ma Cheng as the chief minister!" ”
At that moment, everyone began to discuss and argue, but Chen Jingyun was kept talking. After a while, he raised his hand and pressed it, signaling everyone to be quiet.
"I think that the Ministry of Military Affairs is very important, and it is not possible to do without a seasoned person!" Chen Jingyun watched everyone's reaction as he spoke, and when he saw that everyone's eyes were looking at him, he continued: "It's not good for me to make decisions on such an important matter alone, I just raise my hand to vote, and the majority wins!" ”
Chen Jingyun said this, Zheng Zuyin and Lin Wenying's group immediately had a smile on their faces, why, it's simple, because most of the people present are members of the Alliance. Although Ma Cheng and the others looked at Chen Jingyun with puzzled looks, their own governors said so, and Ma Cheng and the others were not easy to object.
"Please raise your hand in favor of Lin Wenying as the chief of the Ministry of Military Affairs!" After Chen Jingyun said this, the lower crowd began to raise their hands one after another, most of them were members of the Alliance, none of the generals below Chen Jingyun did not raise their hands, Yuan Fang and Li Jimin did not raise their hands, and An Hualin and some members of the Advisory Bureau did not raise their hands. But even so, the number of people who raised their hands still accounted for the majority.
Seeing this result, Chen Jingyun said: "Since this is what everyone means, then let Lin Wenying serve as the chief of the military affairs department." Chen Jingyun looked around and said: "The Ministry of Military Affairs has decided, so discuss the next topic, the Ministry of Police!" ”
The Ministry of Police, the Ministry of Communications, and other departments were not important, and the people on the side of the League felt that it would be difficult for the other departments to occupy all the other departments after taking the three ministries of civil affairs, foreign affairs, and military affairs, so they proposed that many members of the Advisory Council who were not members of the League should serve as members.
Soon the discussion on the structure of the political axe was completed, and the heads of the various ministries were also decided, and then the content of the electricity supply and the pacification of the people were discussed, for which Chen Jingyun did not care much for the time being. I just listened to them talking, and I didn't say much.
It was not until midnight that all kinds of things were discussed clearly, the power was ready, and the military and political axes were structured! Towards the end of the meeting, although the generals under Chen Jingyun looked ugly and wanted to say something, Chen Jingyun did not give them a chance to speak, and directly announced the dismissal of the meeting.
Walking out of the conference room and looking at the deep sky, Ma Cheng sighed, he didn't sigh because he lost the position of the chief of the military affairs department, but he just felt that the group of people in the alliance was too deceitful, relying on the strength of the people to take away the three ministries of civil affairs, diplomacy, and military affairs.
"What, you feel uncomfortable?" When Ma Cheng sighed, Feng Qin walked over.
"I just think those people are too ......" Ma Cheng shook his head and said softly as he walked outside: "If there is no us, can they take Fuzhou with their rabble?" If it weren't for our governor, Yuan Fang would have surrendered to us, just kidding, but now, people are clearly going to cross the river and tear down the bridge! ”
Feng Qin showed an unfathomable smile at this time: "Captain Ma, you are too worried. Who do you think we are governors, how can you let them tear down the bridges! ”
Ma Cheng was puzzled, and immediately asked, "What does Staff Officer Feng mean?" ”
"The Ministry of Military Affairs, speaking of which, is in charge of military affairs, but with us all in charge, he Lin Wenying can command you as the chief of military affairs?" Feng Qin said casually.
"Of course not, I, Ma Cheng, only know the governor, but I don't know what he Lin Wenying is!"
"Isn't that what it is!" Feng Qin continued: "At the meeting just now, there were too many people in the Alliance, and if the governor wanted to come hard, he would inevitably fall out. It's better to ask for the surname and give it to them. In this way, there is another benefit! ”
Ma Chengdao: "What benefits?" ”
Feng Qin said: "Second regiment!" ”
Hearing this, Ma Cheng thought about it in his heart and felt that it was also, this Lin Wenying was the chief of military affairs, so the position of the head of the second regiment would be empty, although there was still a Peng Shousong staring at it, but if Chen Jingyun arranged for someone from his side to be the commander of the second regiment, he Peng Shousong would definitely not be able to oppose it. After connecting this layer, Ma Cheng was secretly happy in his heart, and couldn't help but admire Chen Jingyun's methods again.
And Chen Jingyun, who was secretly admired by Ma Cheng, was holding a teacup and drinking tea. For the arrangement of the Ministry of Military Affairs, he was ready to serve by himself at first, but later saw that Zheng Zuyin and they supported Lin Wenying as the commander-in-chief, so he also let it out, anyway, the military salary and ordnance were in his own hands, and the Fujian National Army was not disbanded, he was still the governor, and the power of military affairs was still in his own hands. In this way, the military affairs department on the side of the military and political axe will be dispensable. As for the annexation of the Second Regiment, Chen Jingyun does not have this idea for the time being, in his opinion, there are too many middle and low-level regiments of the Second Regiment and ordinary soldiers and revolutionary parties, all of which are Lin Wenying's diehards, and there is also Peng Shousong's Hui Party, the second regiment, which has a total of less than 500 people, is in a mess, and it is too difficult to control it. Don't worry about it for a while
This night, although Chen Jingyun slept very deeply, he kept dreaming, dreaming that he controlled Fujian, became a big warlord, dreamed that he unified China, dreamed that he was revolutionized by the revolutionaries, and finally went to the guillotine, dreamed that he led China and Yuben to fight, and finally blew up and sank Yuben Island, dreamed that he was walking on the street, and then a bullet flew! When he was knocked down, he vaguely heard: "Hit the reader, hit the warlord!" ”
When he dreamed of this, Chen Jingyun woke up suddenly, only to find that his back was soaked!
Chen Kui, who was outside the door, heard the sound and walked in softly: "Dudu! Wake up! ”
"What time is it?" Chen Jingyun saw that the sky outside was already bright, for fear that he would sleep too late and delay his business. Now the uprising is only three days, and there are too many things to do, and there are many variables, and there is no room for relaxation.
"It's 8:40!" Chen Kui thought about it and said, "Minister An is asking to see him outside, and I've been waiting for a while!" ”
"Oh!" Hearing that An Hualin came up early in the morning to ask for a meeting, Chen Jingyun smiled: "He came early!" ”
After freshening up, he ate two bowls of millet porridge before Chen Jingyun walked out of the main hall.
As soon as An Hualin heard the footsteps, he stood up in a row, and then walked up to Chen Jingyun: "I've seen the governor!" ”
Chen Jingyun is very satisfied with his appearance, regardless of whether this person is talented or not, the key is that he is not a member of the Alliance, but he has raised it with one hand, which means that he can only rely on himself as a backing.
"Minister An came so early, have you ever eaten?" Chen Jingyun said casually, and after sitting down, he waved his hand to let An Hualin sit down.
"Xie Dudu is sympathetic, he has already used it before he came!" After Anwarin sat down, he didn't dare to sit down, but his butt was next to the edge of the chair.
After Chen Jingyun sat down, he picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Now that the military and political axes are starting, things are difficult, Minister An, you are in charge of the Ministry of Finance, you have a heavy responsibility, you have to be more diligent!" ”
Anwarin has such a humble attitude, and Chen Jingyun also shows the attitude of a superior.
After listening to Chen Jingyun's words, An Hualin immediately stood up again: "Back to the governor, I will do my best to control the overall financial situation!" ”
After saying that, he glanced at Chen Jingyun, and saw that Chen Jingyun didn't mean anything else, so he took the initiative to say: "After the meeting last night, I organized people overnight to count the treasury left by Qianqing!" ”
"Oh, how many are left over there?" Chen Jingyun asked.
