Chapter 51 Carrying Out

Yuan Shikai also heard the sound of airplanes in the presidential palace, and was very surprised, so he sent people to the flight brigade to see what was going on, and learned that Wang Maoru's flight team garrison battalion selected soldiers, conducted a marching competition, and circled Beijing City, and was very interested, so he smiled and led the presidential palace and his party to Huaxing Airport.

The president came in person, Wang Maoru felt flattered, and hurriedly took his subordinates to ask the president for gifts, Yuan Shikai said with a smile: "I heard you say that you want to select sergeants, but I didn't expect it to be so big, and now the whole capital is alarmed by you." Wang Maoru said with a smile: "My subordinates didn't expect to disturb the people. ”

The people in Beijing also ran over, watched the interesting race, and ran a lap of 20 kilometers back to the airport, and the sergeants were shocked to find that it was actually the president who was standing at the finish line. Now everyone was dumbfounded, the president was here, what a great honor, and they were all speechless with excitement.

When the last team returned, the crowd cheered. Yuan Shikai walked to the rostrum and delivered an enthusiastic speech to the officers and men of the garrison brigade of the flying corps, the content of which was nothing more than to serve the motherland, be loyal to the motherland, work hard to cheer for the reunification of the Chinese nation, not form a party for personal gain, not make compromises and seek perfection, and not be an accomplice of the party that disrupts the country. However, in the end, Yuan Shikai gave everyone a benefit, he announced that he would allocate 10,000 oceans to all the soldiers of the garrison brigade for encouragement, and then everyone applauded.

Seeing that the soldiers were so strong, President Yuan Shikai heard Wang Maoru say that only one hundred and fifty of them remained, but he shouted that it was a pity, and said: "In this way, I will authorize these hundreds of people to stay, you ...... Let's form a brigade of 900 men. ”

Wang Mao was busy expressing his gratitude, so that these people could stay, and the officers would not be able to make arrangements. Yuan Shikai asked him about the arrangement of officers, Wang Maoru said that let officers choose positions based on their achievements, Yuan Shikai said nonsense, how could he be so childish, and said to Wang Maoru: "This method to select officers, only this once, otherwise the order of the army will be disrupted." ”

Wang Maoru didn't know why, Yuan Shikai slowly explained: "Historically, the promotion of official ranks in the army has been based on the promotion of officials, just to prevent the promotion of the level and resentment, this is a good way for you, but if in the eyes of people with small hearts, how can he be better than me because of his background?" It caused officers to be jealous of each other, and it was not conducive to communication in wartime. ”

Yuan Shikai's explanation made Wang Maoru suddenly enlightened, and the president personally explained to him the law of officer promotion, which also flattered him, and he was grateful, and said: "My subordinates are grateful to the president for his support, and the president's kindness will never be forgotten." ”

Yuan Shikai nodded, saying that he was satisfied with the garrison this time, and then left with the secretary and officials. Before leaving, Yang Du, a political counselor, smiled mysteriously at Wang Maoru, making him unpredictable, and wanted to ask, but saw Yang Du go away. After the president and his entourage left, Jiang Fangzhen and the military cadets of the model regiment also left one after another, leaving only many people in the garrison brigade, Wang Maoru then announced that the selection of soldiers would be carried out the next day, and everyone would rest for a night today.

In the War Department, in the office of the deputy minister, there was a loud and breaking sound, which shook the people around and did not dare to approach here.

"What? Exceptionally promoted to battalion-level brigade? Xu Shuzheng smashed the vase and said angrily, "Why? Why? Others don't know why he resents Wang Maoru, how can he not know that he was promoted to major general at the age of thirty-two, acting deputy minister of the War Department at the age of thirty-three, and promoted to lieutenant general at the age of thirty-four. Yes, Xu Shuzheng is talented, but he has a narrow temperament, he can't tolerate others, and this person's methods are vicious, if he really wants to rectify others, he has to kill others.

This time, his master Duan Qirui asked him about the emperor because of Yuan Shikai, Duan Qirui was loyal to Yuan Shikai, but he didn't want Yuan Shikai to be the emperor, he wanted the country to be republic, how could he accept the emperor. In this way, Yuan Shikai was ready to let him return to Beijing to serve as the Minister of War, but it was delayed because of Duan Qirui's opposition. Xu Shuzheng felt a lot of pressure for this, but at this time, Wang Mao rose like a meteor, and won Yuan Shikai's trust, Xu Shuzheng was very annoyed. I thought that this person would come back from abroad and would definitely oppose the emperor, but I didn't want Xu Shuzheng to find out in private, but this person became Yuan Keding's confidant and think tank, so Xu Shuzheng asked the subordinates of the War Department to impeach Wang Maoru. However, this impeachment was suppressed by Yuan Shikai, in the name of meritorious service, which is okay, this person expanded the army without authorization, but was rewarded by Yuan Shikai, causing a storm in the city. Even the Japanese's "Shuntian Times" praised Wang Maoru in the supplement, saying that Wang Maoru, a martial general, was a Confucian general in the world. How can Confucianism use the word indiscriminately for a speculator who is a small businessman?

However, Xu Shuzheng knew that at this time, Wang Mao was as proud as a spring breeze, and Yuan Ke decided to let his father be the emperor and run around to tell each other, but it was not appropriate to anger the Yuan family father and son for the time being, but Xu Shuzheng did not give up, so he privately provoked Wang Maoru to conflict with others.

Wang Maoru reappointed the garrison brigade, according to the results, Zhao Zengfu was the best, but considering that these people have always regarded Li Delin as the big brother, he appointed Li Delin as the deputy captain of the garrison brigade after discussing with Zhao Zengfu, with the rank of major.

The garrison brigade was divided into three infantry companies and one cavalry company, and Zhao Zengfu, Liu Jian, and Zhu Huailong were appointed as three infantry company commanders, and Gong Xiaoqi was appointed as the commander of the cavalry company. Wang Maoru's personal guard has also increased the number of people, originally more than 20 people, but now it has increased to 50 people, and he has been led by dozens of people under the city. locked his mind and asked Zhao Jiacheng for four American Ford trucks, and recruited two drivers, who were originally driving in a foreign company, and thought that someone was driving at a high price in another foreign company, but he didn't want to be a military camp, and he had to run the next day. After being taken to the barracks, Wang Maoru laughed and said Don't scare people, tell the master, teach people to drive in the pro-guard team, teach a reward of five taels of silver, if the pro-guard team can drive, the master can leave. As soon as the two masters heard that they could leave, they immediately changed their mentality, and seriously taught the members of the pro-guard team to drive. How can this drive be so easy to learn, the two of them are honest, and they still have a hope.

After arranging the personnel of the barracks, Wang Maoru handed over the selection and distribution of the soldiers of the garrison brigade to Li Delin and the four company commanders for discussion.

The barracks is really as Ren Yuanxing said, Wang Maoru wanted to unload the burden on his shoulders for a long time, he was busy with many hats and had a lot to do, but he was too busy, and he didn't even have time to fall in love, how could he have so much thought about staying in the barracks every day. Li Delin became the acting captain, and discussed many matters in the army with several company commanders, and soon they drew up a strict plan, and selected 720 men, divided into four companies, and the remaining 200 men became the baggage company. In fact, although Yuan Shikai gave the garrison brigade a formal establishment, it did not pass the test on the side of the War Department, and the War Department only gave the salary of one army battalion on the grounds of violating the system, and the rest of the extra military salary and military consumption were all provided by Wang Maoru at his own expense. Ordinary people would have retreated long ago when they encountered such a thing as spending money on their own, but unexpectedly, Wang Maoru not only did not object, but gladly accepted the fact that he spent money to support the extra army.
