Chapter 112: Trouble from the Alliance
After making sure that there was nothing wrong with the people present, Yan Shao nodded and said something else.
"I'm sure you've already known that Eleno went back to France by boat not long ago, and this time she went back not to visit her relatives she hadn't seen for a long time, as she said on the surface, but to contact her father, hoping to get his support in this matter..."
Glancing at Fu Xiuming's patrol and guard team as he spoke, Yan Shao continued.
"I believe you also know very well that it is impossible to overthrow the Qing court with the current patrol team alone, not only because of the problem of numbers, but also because of the problem of training, after all, the people of the patrol team were just ordinary people in the past, and they only received second-rate training from the patrol battalion, and they were not even second-rate."
"Elano's father was the commander of the Second Infantry Regiment of the French Foreign Legion, and the Foreign Legion was the elite of the French army, and the Foreign Legion was the first unit to rush to the forefront in every war, and when the First Infantry Regiment remained at the headquarters, the Second Infantry Regiment was also the most elite of the Foreign Legion, and it was also the most experienced unit in actual combat..."
"So as long as you can get that old bastard of Bertrand...... Ahem, I mean Elaline's father's support, we can send some people in for training. France is an army power, and it can be ranked at least in the top three in the world, and if it can go there to study, it will definitely be better than continuing to patrol the battalion, which is not even second-rate training..."
Hearing Yan Shao say this, Li Liang's gang of businessmen will forget it. Fu Xiuming's side of these patrol battalions and guards was moved.
In fact, they themselves know what is wrong with them, because the patrol battalion is indeed a unit that is not even second-rateββββββ this is still only domestic, if you count foreign...
And they who receive this training. At most, it's at the same level as the militia, combat effectiveness, taking care of the house, fighting with bandits or something, but nothing else needs to be mentioned...
With this level of combat effectiveness, it is certainly no problem to ensure the safety of the company in the current situation, but if it is said that it is to overthrow the Qing government as Yan Shao said, it is obviously a little powerless.
"That. Boss, how many people are you going to send over..."After a slight silence, Fu Xiuming asked.
"Fifteen..."After glancing at everyone in the conference room, Yan Shao gave a number. First time. Just send 15 people, and when the first batch of people get acquainted with the situation on the French side, we will increase the output on our side..."
I'm going to call everyone over for a showdown today, and it's actually related to this incident.
No way. After all, they had to send people to France. You can't even say what you're trying to do without saying what you're going to do. So he simply called all the most trustworthy people in the company, and then had a showdown...
"There are only 15 people..."Fu Xiuming glanced back.
The entire conference room is almost all sitting in the company's management, and there are only about 10 people belonging to the patrol team and the guards, well, 12 people to be exact, if you want to send 15 people, you have to conjure at least 3 more people...
"Don't worry, it's not like sending you all out of the city at once...", he smiled. Yan Shao continued. "The main purpose of this meeting is to explain to you my true purpose, and as for the people to be sent out, it is up to you to select some qualified and reliable people from the patrol team. Then it's up to me to talk to them personally. However, remember to explain to them that this incident is dangerous when picking people, after all, the Foreign Legion is not an ordinary army, and I am afraid that I will have to follow them to the battlefield twice when I get there..."
"Please rest assured, since you have already chosen this bowl of rice to eat, there are a few people who are not mentally prepared..."Fu Xiuming smiled and said.
Hearing this, Yan Shao also nodded. "Since everyone is fine, then we can wait for news from the French side, but before that......" Yan Shao looked at Fu Xiuming. I'm also going to send a few people to the Martial Arts Academy..."
"Aren't you already planning to send someone to France, why do you still want to go to the Martial Arts Academy..."Hearing that Yan Shao was also planning to send someone to the Martial Arts Academy, a person asked a little strangely.
Everyone else also nodded, although the quality of the new army at the end of the Qing Dynasty was good, especially on the Beiyang side. But to be honest, they didn't think that they would learn more in the Armament Academy than they would learn in France's most elite Foreign Legion, after all, France also had one of the most powerful armies of its timeββββββ and it would be difficult to say in the next two or three decades.
"I didn't let them go over to let them learn things..."With a smile on his face, Yan Shao said softly.
Hearing this, some people understand, others don't...
ββββββββββββββββββββ
After announcing his true purpose, Yan Shao didn't say much about his plan, but only said two key things.
One is a French matter, and the other is to send people to the Anhui Military Academy.
Needless to say, the former was naturally for the sake of obtaining a high-quality officer corps, and the latter for the purpose of breaking into the new army.
In the 30th year of Guangxu, Anhui Governor Chengxun recruited more than 300 new soldiers, and the graduates of the armed forces academy were responsible for training, called the Anqing armed forces training academy, which means that the officers of the Anhui new army basically came out of the armed forces academy.
If Yan Shao can send his own people into the academy, it will be equivalent to controlling a part of the new army, and if this part of the people who can enter is recruiting some talents from the new army, then Yan Shao's chances of controlling the whole of Anhui after the incident are much greater, which is the real reason why Yan Shao will send people inside.
Like the previous one, although this one is simple to say, it is a more important part of Yan Shao's plan.
At the same time, after leaving the office building, several of the more than 20 people who walked out of the conference room also had their eyes twinkling.
They didn't want to betray Yan Shao, it should be said that Yan Shao was still very strict when choosing people, or he couldn't be more rigorous, after all, as long as he chose the wrong person, he had to leave his foundation in China and die from now on.
Therefore, almost every one of the more than 20 people gathered this time was established after more than ten deliberations, and basically they all had a certain degree of bad feelings towards the Qing government and were also somewhat interested in innovation.
But having a bad feeling for the Qing government will not let them betray Yan Shao, but it also means that they may be bought and absorbed by other organizations...
For example, the Confederacy will...
Seriously, there is no shortage of people in the alliance at this time. After all, few young people in this era like the Qing government, and the famous alliance is undoubtedly their first target.
At this time, what the alliance lacks most is actually money...
No matter how noble and pure the word revolution is, in the final analysis, it is still inseparable from the word money. To make a revolution, you need money, you need money to buy arms, you need money to blossom in an uprising, you need money to develop an organization, you need money to make contacts, you need money to eat, drink, and even eat, drink, and even eat...
Therefore, the most important task of the members of the League and the Liberation Society operating abroad is nothing else, but to collect donations...
As one of the richest people in the country, Yan Shao is naturally one of their targets, but because his relationship with the Qing government seems to be relatively close, and he is not clear about his attitude towards the Alliance, so the Alliance will start with some middle-level and grass-roots people, and want to attract some such people to join the Alliance, so that at least some of them can be raised first.
Yan Shao pursues a high salary and provides managers with higher salaries as much as possible. Especially after making a fortune from the Japanese, Yan Shao even raised the wages of everyone from workers to management by 30%...
Of course, at the same time as the high salary, Yan Shao did not forget to set up a special supervision department in the company, as long as he found that someone was greedy for ink, he would be fired directly, and then sent to the government...
The combination of the two has made almost everyone in the company rich, while making almost everyone rich. Especially those in management, the salary is a few hundred silver dollars a year.
It is important to know that at that time, in 05 years, the League received a total of only 1,210 yuan in 15 donations (including individuals or institutions) from different places in Southeast Asia or Europe.
By the end of 1906, Minbao held an anniversary party attended by 6,000 readers. There were calls for donations at the scene, and a total of 181 people responded, and 780 yuan of donations were received. Subsequently, 230 donations from individuals or institutions in the Overseas Chinese District totaled 670 yuan and another 1.5 pounds.
Because of the difficulty in fundraising, as long as the people of the Alliance develop 10 people in the management of Yushi Group, they may get more donations every year than they raise in a year.
And because most of the management in the company are young people and have no good impression of the Qing court, they are not very resistant to the court's court.
In the management of the entire company, it is naturally impossible for the younger generation to have only more than 20 people, but these more than 20 people are the most trusted...
And even among these 20 people, 2 people have already started to contact the Alliance...
If they may not have had anything before Yan Shao didn't say his true purpose today, then now their mood has become a little complicated.
Because they don't know whether they should choose Yan Shao or the Alliance.
On the other hand, Yan Shao didn't know that his showdown today also solved a trouble for himself in advance. After all, if this secret is kept until the Xinhai New Year is approaching, it is difficult to say whether the company's management will all be absorbed as members by the Alliance...
