Beiyang reactionaries

Although there were many reasons why Lu Tao left Yuan Zuming's army, Lu Tao still felt sorry for Yuan Zuming.After all, I and Yuan Zuming have fought side by side for many years. As early as the year of [-], the two of them followed Tang Jiyao into Guizhou, and later fought together.The War to Protect the Nation was also fought in Xiangxi together, and the relationship is still very good.When the troops were reorganized this time, Yuan Zuming also handed over the most important and elite First Brigade to Lu Tao.

But Lu Tao chose to leave the Seventh Division.

"Shouci, there's no need to say such things."

Yuan Zuming sighed and waved his hand.

"You and I have been friends for so many years, and I can't hinder you. Although I met Duan Xun for the first time, I still admit his heart. He wants you to help him train a model brigade, and you Work hard. Everyone knows your ability, and you will definitely show your talents there. Build an elite army and give our Qian army a sigh of relief."

"Thank you, Master."

Lu Tao nodded.

After thinking about it, Lu Tao said again: "Master, you should think about what I said. Sometimes the opportunity is just a moment."

"I see."

"Then I'll sort it out first. Teacher, you send someone over to hand over the work to me."

"it is good."

Yuan Zuming didn't stop it, everyone can get together and relax.

And since Lu Tao decided to leave, Yuan Zuming also needs to consider how his troops will go next.And this cannot be discussed in front of Lu Tao, who is about to leave.

After Lu Tao left, Yuan Zuming set his sights on another of his generals, Hu Ying.

"Yun Shan (Hu Ying), what do you think?"

"What Shouci said still has some truth."

"Tell me."

Most of Yuan Zuming's subordinates were from the Dian Army back then, and after all these years, all of them can be regarded as both civil and military.To be honest, many of the officers on Wang Wenhua's side were related to Wang Wenhua.

Hu Ying was also a civil and military officer in the Qian Army.

Hu Ying was also a graduate of the Yunnan Lecture Martial Arts Hall in his early years. He was in the same class as Fan Shisheng and participated in the Chung Ninth Uprising.Back then, he entered Guizhou with Tang Jiyao, and then stayed in the Guizhou Army.

"Master, our Guizhou army has been trying to develop well these years, but everyone knows the result. In the final analysis, there is still one reason, that is, Guizhou's economy is not good, and it cannot support so many troops. As General Duan's troops entered Guizhou, began to After the ban on smoking, we in Guizhou will not be able to support many troops. If only our Guizhou finance supports the army, according to the current Guizhou finance, we can support about 1 people. This is already the limit of our Guizhou army’s development.”

"kindness."

Yuan Zuming nodded.

Of course Yuan Zuming knew what Hu Ying said.Although Yuan Zuming has always only led troops to fight, he also knows that Guizhou's financial problems are very serious.Most of the previous support for the Qian army was by selling opium.Even relying on the opium trade, there are only about 2 regular troops of the Guizhou Army.

Duan Xun is now strongly banning smoking in Guizhou, and Guizhou's finances have also been greatly affected.

What Hu Ying meant was very simple.Now Yuan Zuming, and even many bigwigs in the Qian army should give up an illusion.That is, it is impossible to reoccupy Guizhou and then develop the Qianjun troops in Guizhou.

Even if Guizhou is re-occupied, the Qian army will not be able to develop.

"Master, although we don't want to admit it, Guizhou is no longer our Qianjun's. Commander Wang (Wang Wenhua) is currently in Hunan with the French Guardian Army. Although the French Guardian Army is in good condition, the French Guardian Army has never been with General Duan's troops. There is no sign of such a fight. Because they don't want to fight with General Duan's troops. Obviously, it is basically impossible for Commander Wang to return to Guizhou."

"Yunshan, Yunshan, why are you speaking so bluntly?"

Yuan Zuming smiled wryly.

In fact, Yuan Zuming didn't understand that the era of Qian Jun has passed.Not to mention the Qian army, even the era of the Yunnan army has passed.In the future, the three provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou belong to Duan Xun. Many people don't want to believe this, but this is exactly the case.

Yuan Zuming always wanted to lie to himself that maybe he had the opportunity to rule Guizhou, but it was a pity that such a small thought was pierced by Hu Ying so bluntly.

"Mr. Commander, you are a famous general of our Guizhou Army, a man of the day on the battlefield. If you just confine yourself in the circle of the Qianjun Army, the army has too strong characteristics of the Qianjun Army, and you will never be able to leave Guizhou. With your ability, you should stand Command more troops on a bigger stage."

"Qian Army, Qian Army."

Yuan Zuming didn't know how to respond.

For Yuan Zuming, although he is not from Guizhou himself, since he entered Guizhou, he has always regarded himself as a general of the Qian army.But now regardless of whether it is Lu Tao or Hu Ying, the meaning of these two important generals is very simple.Dilute the mark of the Qian army on your body, so that you can go further in the future.

But Yuan Zuming was really reluctant to let him do this.The name Qian Jun was so familiar to Yuan Zuming, so close, he suddenly felt uncomfortable.After all, the current Guizhou Army troops, no matter whether it is Wang Wenhua's troops or Yuan Zuming's troops, all have Yuan Zuming's contribution.

"Let me think, let me think."

Yuan Zuming sat there weakly.After thinking for a while, he said to Hu Ying: "Yun Shan (Hu Ying), if we leave Guizhou, will our brotherhood complain."

"Master, in terms of treatment, our army was not as good as it is now. After this reorganization, our army's treatment, weapons and equipment have risen to a higher level than before. But even so, our army is still not as good as the few direct descendants of General Duan. Troops. If we leave Guizhou and get the support of General Duan, then the treatment and weapons of our troops will be greatly improved. How can our people have any opinions.”

"I know what you mean."

Yuan Zuming nodded weakly.

It seems that it is basically impossible for me to rely on Guizhou to become the king of Guizhou.That being the case, it's time to think about it in a different way.

"Yun Shan, you and I will meet General Duan tomorrow."

"Yes."

"what happened?"

Lin'an, Yunnan.

Gu Pinzhen had a meeting with several Yunnan army chiefs.

Gu Pinzhen and the others had no interest in the law protection war.Similarly, they didn't want to fight with the French Guardians, nor did they want to fight with Tang Jiyao.So they put the troops in Lin'an, which is the front line in southern Yunnan, and then negotiated with Duan Xun.

ask for money.

Ask Duan Xun for military expenses.

Although there is an idea of ​​sitting on the ground and raising prices, it is more that the Yunnan Army is really short of money.The military salaries of the Dian Army have been reduced again and again, and the salaries of officers and soldiers are one-third of the original.Even so, there is still a huge gap.So take this opportunity to ask Duan Xun for money.

Duan Xun is not a fool, he will give you money wherever you want.

So Gu Pinzhen was awarded 20 yuan.

The requirements are simple.Tang Jiyao in southern Yunnan must be suppressed and he must not be allowed to move.Even if you don't fight, you still have to watch Tang Jiyao. 20 is not a big sum to Duan Xun, and it was easily approved with a swipe of a pen.But it is definitely not a small number for the Yunnan Army.This money will allow the Yunnan Army to spend several months.

But even with the money, Gu Pinzhen would not move.He never thought of fighting Tang Jiyao and those powerful factions in southern Yunnan, and he couldn't afford to fight.So they are still stationed outside, asking Duan Xun for money.

Originally, Gu Pinzhen was rather complacent.

Now holding the Yunnan Army in his hand, he is swinging between the Guardian Army and Duan Xun.You can ask Duan Xun for money, or you can ask Tang Jiyao.In this way, it is finally possible to earn a military salary for the Yunnan Army.

Let's take a look at the situation slowly.
