Chapter Eighty-One: Staff Mr. Jin Asks for Collection
Give some Sanjiang tickets! Big Rolo begged!
Chang Ruiqing sat straight on a soft sofa with a straight waist, looking at a middle-aged man in a robe and a horse coat opposite with a smile on his face. This is in the reception room of a rather quiet small bungalow in the Tianjin Concession. The room is small and very exquisitely furnished, the furniture is carefully made of mahogany, and there is a little smell of incense lingering in the room.
This is the private residence of former senior adviser to the presidential office and army lieutenant general Jin Yongyan in Tianjin. There is a saying in the Beiyang era that Beijing is the front desk and Tianjin is the back stage. Whoever is tired of performing in the front stage will come to the backstage to rest. Therefore, all the people in Beijing have houses in the Tianjin Concession, and Jin Yongyan, one of Li Yuanhong's "Four King Kongs", is of course no exception.
Tonight, as soon as Chang Ruiqing returned to the Li Shunde Hotel, he got the post of Lieutenant General Jin Yongyan Jin Da from his messenger Yu Liu, saying that he was invited to come over the house for a gathering. This Jin Yongyan and Chang Ruiqing are not outsiders, he served as the principal of Nanjing Army Middle School and Wuchang Army Preparatory School after the Xinhai Revolution, and Chang Ruiqing studied there at that time. And with Chang Ruiqing's super excellent reading results, the relationship with the principal will naturally not be bad・・・・・・ so some time ago, he was also ordered by Li Yuanhong to win over Chang Ruiqing, and Chang Ruiqing also sent an invitation to this Jin Yongyan.
Many of the rules in the officialdom of the early Republic of China were inherited from the late Qing Dynasty, and one of them was the staff. Generally, when an official becomes bigger, he will keep a bunch of people called staff around him, and he has the dual responsibilities of secretary and dog-headed military advisor. Some of these staff members are on errands, and some are paid in the name of the errand, and they serve Dong Weng on weekdays. For example, Jin Yongyan had a senior consultant before, but his job was to give advice to Li Yuanhong. Now that Li Yuanhong has gone home to eat his own, he, who is a staff member, can naturally only avoid living in Tianjin to watch the limelight and see if there is any chance to find another job. Therefore, as soon as he heard that Chang Ruiqing had come to Tianjin, he immediately sent his family to the Li Shunde Hotel with the post.
As soon as Chang Ruiqing saw the post, he rushed over without saying a word. The invitation he sent to Jin Yongyan was also sincere, he was now a major general mixed with the rank of brigade commander, and he was barely ranked among the ranks of the great warlords, and it was time to form his own "shogunate".
The warlord Changda, who is familiar with the history of the Republic of China, knows very well that people like staff are by no means dispensable figures in the political arena of the Republic of China, especially in the early Republic of China. In this civil war in the Republic of China, the shells are shot out and the dead are all Chinese, and it is better not to use shells if you can use money and women to settle it with conspiracy! So a good staff member can sometimes be worth thousands of troops! And Jin Yongyan, a senior staff member who once served as a senior adviser to the presidential office and is extremely familiar with the political arena in the north and south, is naturally the best among the staff.
If he helps, Chang Ruiqing's warlord road can be kept a lot easier・・・・・・ at lì at lì, at the very least, the meat bullet and silver bullet can be shot, and there can be an accurate direction, right? Otherwise, who knows where to send it?
In the same way, thousands of horses are hard to find, and Bole is also hard to find. Why doesn't Jin Yongyan sell at a price? Napoleon didn't say that "a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier." "Naturally, a staff member who does not want to hold power in his hands is not a good staff member! Kim Yong-yan is a good aide, so he always thinks about the day when he can hold power. But it backfired, although his old lord Li Yuanhong was famous, he had no strength at all. The staff of the past few years have been completely in vain! And his former student Chang Ruiqing, is it possible to help him realize his life ideals?
The two of them had their own thoughts, looked at each other for a moment, and finally Chang Ruiqing smiled and whispered: "Principal, the students will lead the troops south in a few days, the situation in the south is complicated, the students are just starting out, and they know very little, so they can only take the liberty to come to the door today to ask for advice." ”
Jin Yongyan smiled at Chang Ruiqing and nodded: "The water in the south is deep, and the water in Beijing is not shallow. ”
Chang Ruiqing nodded silently: "Students are bent on going south, naturally they want to break out of the world・・・・・・ now in the troubled times of the Republic of China, it is the era when we and other men have made contributions!" Principal, you are a high-achieving student who graduated from a Japanese non-commissioned officer and a veteran of the military world, so you must not be willing to bury your skills, right? ”
Hearing his student say this, Jin Yongyan nodded silently and didn't say much, thinking about the benefits and losses in his heart. After a while, he smiled and asked: "Yaoru, you just said that you were going to lead the troops south, is this going to guard the place, or is it ・・・・・・" He glanced at Chang Ruiqing hesitantly.
Chang Ruiqing said in a deep voice: "It's going to war!" Crusade against the Southwest! ”
Jin Yongyan nodded slightly, and there was no surprised expression on his face, but he said slowly: "Reunification by force is Duan Zhilao's long-cherished wish, and now that he has completely mastered the central power, of course he has to give it a go." ”
"Headmaster, do you think Elder Duan Zhi can achieve what he wants?" Chang Ruiqing asked.
"Impossible!" Jin Yongyan said categorically: "Beiyang itself is not unified, and you still want to unify China?" Moreover, Feng Hejian and the Liangguang patrol made Lu Ganqing collude for a long time, and Feng Hejian's people would not work hard. In addition, in the south, especially in Guangdong and Fujian, the local military strength is very strong, and most of them are inclined to the Kuomintang and Sun Yat-sen, and the army that Duan Zhiquan can command may not be able to defeat them. ”
The so-called "local soldiers" actually refer to the "landlords' armed forces" such as "militia groups" and "people's army". It is also a category of small warlords, don't look at the strength of these small warlords, and the territory of the division is not large, often only a few towns. However, the number of such warlords is extremely large, especially in Liangguang Fujian, where the emperor is far away, the power of the big warlords can often only reach a few big cities, and the vast countryside and even the county town are controlled by the small warlords in these places!
As far as Chang Ruiqing is concerned, when he arrives in Fujian, it is not much difficult to deal with Li Houji, but the real trouble is that there are a large number of militia groups and people's army, and if he is not careful, it will be difficult to move an inch.
"Does the headmaster have any good plans for these local soldiers?" Chang Ruiqing asked tentatively. As the saying goes, a strong dragon can't suppress the ground snake, and Chang Ruiqing, a strong dragon, really has no way to clean up a bunch of ground snakes.
Jin Yongyan smiled: "What's the best way to do it?" It's just some stupid methods, for example, you must not be too hasty to deal with this kind of local forces, those people are thieves who guard the house, if you don't touch them for the time being, they will not unite against you, and it is not too late to clean them up when you have a firm foothold. There is also 'turning enemies into friends', if the Kuomintang is powerful in those territories, you might as well join, and if the Hongmen and the Qinggang are powerful, you might as well worship an old man. For the local forces with greater power, you can also try to co-opt and co-opt, worship a brother, marry a family or something・・・・・・ of course, the principle of both wills and grace can not be forgotten, and the trick of killing chickens and monkeys can also be done, but you must inquire about the background of the other party before starting, not afraid of more soldiers and more guns, just afraid of someone behind you. Yaoru, do you know what I mean? ”
Hearing these words, Chang Ruiqing somewhat felt a little embarrassed, and also realized that the other party was willing to work for him. He snapped a straight face, and looked at Jin Yongyan with a military salute, and said in a sincere tone: "Headmaster, if you don't think the mountains are high and the road is far away, the students want to ask the headmaster to go south together, so that they can ask for advice in the morning and evening." ”
