Chapter 20: One Poor and Two White (Ask for Collection)

PS: The second update arrives, ask for collections, ask for recommendation votes! Thank you for the tips from book friends PLa-1234 and Green Snow Longhua!

The original Jilin General's Mansion has now been changed to the Jilin Governor's Mansion. Wu Xingquan's family has moved here, and this will become the place where Wu Xingquan lives and works. As for the previous owner of this large courtyard, he has now embarked on the journey back to Yanjing City.

After Jilin fell, and other local officials and patrol battalion generals in Jilin Province all defected to Wu Xingquan, Fushun knew that he was finished. If you still want to stay in Jilin, you won't even be able to leave your life behind. Therefore, he chose to lead a large family to leave Jilin and return to Yanjing City.

Of course, the only thing that made Fushun hold a grudge was his property, all of which was confiscated. Wu Haoxuan only gave him 10,000 oceans for the journey. Although Fushun's family is concerned, the travel fee of 10,000 oceans is enough for them to return to Yanjing City from Jilin. However, after returning to Yanjing City, what will happen to the subsequent life of their family? Is it just a little bit of money to rely on Fushun?

Although Fushun is a high-ranking official in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, after returning to Yanjing City this time, Yuan Shikai will definitely give him an idle position at most, and even lose his position, it is not so easy to support a large family! As soon as he thought of this, Fu Shun gritted his teeth with hatred from Wu Xingquan's father and son. He has been in Jilin all these years, but he has accumulated a lot of money! Aside from real estate such as land and shops, gold and silver treasures alone are worth two or three million oceans. But now, this qiē has become Wu Xingquan's father and son.

"Despicable and shameless father and son, wait, General Ben will return to Jilin one day! When the time comes, I'll tear you to pieces! This is the oath that Fushun made after leaving Jilin. It's a pity that his bold ambition is estimated to never be realized. Jilin, under the rule of Wu Xingquan's father and son, will only grow stronger.

After Wu Xingquan took charge of Jilin, he began to gradually integrate Jilin's all-out efforts, and officials from all provinces were ordered to come to Jilin to report on their work. The generals of those local patrol battalions were also asked to come to Jilin. Wu Xingquan needs to gather all the power in the whole of Jilin.

Wu Xingquan is in charge of all government affairs. He has been a general soldier for so many years, and he is not incapacitated at all. In addition, before going to Jilin, Wu Xingquan also attracted a lot of talents. In recent years, there are many people who have never met talents, and after Wu Xingquan became the overseer of Jilin, he must have needed a large number of talents, which just gave those people a chance to display their talents.

Wu Haoxuan did not get involved in those government affairs, and his main energy was focused on the development of the army and the development of industry. If Jilin wants to become strong, it must have a strong military force. A strong industry is the guarantee of a strong military force, and the two complement each other and are indispensable.

After arriving in Jilin, the training camp will continue to expand. According to Wu Haoxuan's previous plan, the training battalion has also been fully tempered in the operation of entering Jilin. Next, it is time to expand the camp as the backbone. If you want to hold Jilin and plot the whole of the northeast, you must have enough troops.

On September 6, Wu Haoxuan rarely went home early. After the family had dinner, the father and son went to the study. During this time, both father and son were very busy, and Wu Haoxuan came home very late, basically not even seeing each other.

"Haoxuan, what are you busy with during this time? I can't see anyone at all! Wu Xingquan said.

"Dad, the camp is getting ready for expansion. The combat effectiveness of the training battalion has been fully tested. The problems exposed have also been made up for during this time. I plan to continue to expand the camp! Wu Haoxuan said.

The training camp was originally one of his seeds, and now, it is natural to build more new troops with the training camp as the center.

"Oh? It's a good thing that the camp is going to be expanded! In this battle when we entered Jilin, the teaching battalion did perform very well. Wu Xingquan nodded. In fact, in the battle to enter Jilin, except for the battle of Shijiabao, there were no large-scale battles, only sporadic battles. Neither the 30th town nor the 1st town of the Jilin Army caught any battles. However, the training camp fought a lot of battles. It can be said that those resistance forces in Jilin Province were all defeated by the teaching camp.

"Hmm. This time, I plan to expand the training camp into a mentor, and then use this winter time to train well, and by next year, I will almost be able to form combat effectiveness! Wu Haoxuan said.

"What a chance, expand tenfold at once! After the training battalion has been expanded so much, can the combat effectiveness be guaranteed? "After the large-scale expansion of the army, there will be an extremely negative effect, that is, the combat effectiveness of the troops will drop sharply.

"Of course it will go down, so I'm going to expand the army now. It's September now, and soon winter is coming. It's just the right time to train in the winter. After the beginning of spring next year, we will find a way to carry out some actual combat. In this case, the combat effectiveness of the comparison should be cultivated! Wu Haoxuan had already planned for this.

"What about the specific expansion plan? Tell Daddy! Wu Xingquan knew that the establishment of Wu Haoxuan's troops was different from the establishment of these troops in China. He wanted to see how many people Wu Haoxuan's mentor would have after the expansion of the army.

"The current training battalion is only equivalent to the strength of an infantry battalion. The three infantry battalions formed a regiment with a regimental headquarters of more than 200 people, including communications, guard units, and so on. In addition, there was an artillery battery directly under the regiment, armed with 9 75-mm field guns. A cavalry company, a reconnaissance company, a baggage company, a regimental field hospital, and so on. The total strength was about 4,500 men.

One division has three regiments under its command, plus a division headquarters of more than 1,000 people. In addition, the artillery battalion directly under the division is armed with 36 105-mm light howitzers. A reconnaissance battalion, a cavalry battalion, a baggage battalion, a divisional field hospital, and so on. The total strength of the division is about 18,000 people! ”

The size of such a division is one-third larger than that of a town in the country, and all kinds of weapons and equipment are much stronger than the domestic troops. If nothing else, there are dozens of artillery pieces alone. Three regiments, each with 9 75-mm field guns, and one division with 27. There are 4 companies of the division's artillery battalion, each with 9 105-mm light howitzers, a total of 36 guns. Such a powerful firepower is not even comparable to the Beiyang Army.

Even in the world, it is first-class. Little Japan, which has just defeated Lao Maozi, is even more incomparable to the instructor in terms of firepower.

Wu Haoxuan was originally a person who valued firepower, and it was better to be able to destroy the enemy with strong firepower than to defeat the enemy by relying on the sacrifice of soldiers! That's why he paid attention to the artillery building of the troops.

An artillery battery abroad with only 6 guns. But the instructor's artillery battery had 9 guns. After all, one artillery company of the instructor has two hundred people, which is much more than an artillery company abroad.

Wu Xingquan was already dumbfounded, one of Wu Haoxuan's instructors had so many people and was equipped with so many technical weapons. If he waits for this mentor to become an army, I'm afraid that the two towns under his command together will not be the opponent of the mentor!

"Does one division have to get so many men, so many artillery? The Beiyang Army can't compare! ”

"Dad, our standards can't be compared with the domestic troops. Instead, it should be placed on the ** team outside. Whether it is Lao Maozi or the Japanese, they are ambitious for the Northeast. If we don't have a strong army, how can we protect our family business? The Instructor is just our first unit, and if it goes by the way, the Instructor will be expanded by the middle of next year to the end of the year. With each regiment as a shelf, it was expanded to three divisions. With the addition of the 30th town and the 1st town of the Jilin Army, our total strength will be more than 80,000 people, and we will also have the strength to dominate the entire Northeast! Long Yufei told his plan and discernment.

"That's it, Haoxuan. As for the 30th town and the 1st town of the Jilin Army, let's also expand according to the scale of the instructor! I'll let it all go, and you'll command these troops in the name of the young marshal. Anyway, I can see that Daddy is far from being able to compare with you! Wu Xingquan said. After thinking about it, he simply handed over all the military affairs to Wu Haoxuan to be responsible, and he was responsible for focusing on government affairs.

Wu Haoxuan pondered for a moment, but still nodded. In this way, his army expansion plan can be further expanded. The three divisions established according to his requirements numbered about 55,000 men. With such strength, it is completely deservedly the largest force in the Northeast.

"Dad, how is Jilin's government affairs sorted out?" Wu Haoxuan asked. He knew that Wu Xingquan had been busy with this matter for the past few days.

"Alas, Haoxuan! I used to know that Jilin was poor and would die, but now I know that it is even poorer than we imagined! Financially, there is not a penny left. All prefectures and counties are reaching out to ask for money, and Yuan Shikai refuses to allocate funds for Jilin. I only have more than two million oceans in my hands from Fushun! Wu Xingquan looked depressed.

Wu Haoxuan rang for a moment: "That's it, Dad, I'll give you 10 million oceans first, which will be used to maintain the operation of the Overseer's Mansion, and let people who are loyal to us and talented take over those vegetarian meals as much as possible." The next development direction of Jilin will be to greatly promote industry, agriculture and commerce. In addition, the construction of education and transportation facilities should also be given top priority. Jilin's population is also too small, and we need to go to other parts of the Northeast and even Guannai to recruit displaced people. Whatever the means, the population must be increased! ”

"But it costs a lot of money!" Wu Xingquan frowned.

"As long as we can strengthen our strength, it is worth spending more money!" Wu Haoxuan said. At present, Jilin is poor and white, and if it wants to develop into its own base, it is simply impossible without large-scale investment.
