Chapter 218 Prepare for the Inspection of the Government

"Now our top priority is to continue to rectify the finances, then do a good job in the expansion of the army, and strive to rebuild the 7th Division as soon as possible, and then the first mixed brigade will be fully assembled as soon as possible. When these two troops are fully formed, I plan to practice two more divisions. I have set the numbers, that is, the 11th Division and the 10th Division. Second Division.

Wang Yingkai is anxious to negotiate with Zhao Dongyun. In addition to need time to deal with the situation in the south, he also needs time to expand his army. Some time ago, he and Duan Qirui, Wang Shizhen and others joined hands to seize the capital and took at least 10 million taels of floating wealth. This money is not a good warlord to expand the army.

In addition, his direct forces now have only one first division, as well as the seventh division and the first mixed brigade that are dissatisfied with the formation. As for Zhang Huaizhi and Wang Ruxian, despite their superficial obedient words to Wang Yingkai now, they are usually strong and powerful. When it comes to core interests, Wang Yingkai does not intend to expect them. .

"Look at the three divisions and brigades under him, they are all trained by him. Only then can such troops be used and dare to use them! If Zhao Ziyang doesn't have these three divisions and three brigades, why can't I even keep Shanxi for this Tianjin peace talks!"

Wang Yingkai was bored when he thought of Shanxi. After he regarded Shanxi as a thing in his bag, he could not stop Zhao Dongyun from reaching out, but he was not idle. Zhao Dongyun could certainly pay the price to win over Wu Fengling, but Wang Yingkai could also win over Wu Fengling.

"Lao Wu is going to pass by Beijing in the next two days. When you arrange it, I will have a good talk with him!"

Wang Yingkai still doesn't believe that he can't win over Wu Fengling. Even if he can't pull over completely, he must make Wu Fengling not completely throw himself to Zhao Dongyun. Otherwise, Wang Yingkai's strategic posture will be too bad. Facing the front and back attacks of Shanxi and Fengtian, once the incident happens, he will have to fight on two fronts, and it will be difficult not to die.

So although he was very dissatisfied with Wu Fengling's surrender to Zhao Dongyun, he had to press his dissatisfaction and take out a smiling face to win over Wu Fengling.

Who will benefit the most from the Tianjin talks? That must be Wu Fengling.

The words of Wang Yingkai and Zhao Dongyun basically avoided war and maintained the status quo. Although Duan Qirui and Wang Shizhen have the names of Liangjiang Patrol and Huguang Patrol, it is very difficult to take these two areas, especially when they can only rely on their own strength to fight south.

And Wang Ruxian and Zhang Huaizhi basically retain their old state, and the overall change is not big.

Only Wu Fengling has changed from the hot river that doesn't shit. Although Shanxi still needs him to fight down, Shanxi's new army is weak and difficult to take it down, unlike Duan Qirui and Wang Shizhen, who faces difficulties in going south.

Therefore, the most gained in the Tianjin peace talks is not Zhao Dongyun or Wang Yingkai, but Wu Fengling, who has been marginalized.

Let's not talk about Beijing and the south for the time being, let's talk about Zhao Dongyun. His special train departed from Tangshan and stopped again after arriving at Shanhaiguan.

Shan Customs is related to the security inside and outside the customs. This place can be retreated and can be used as a bridgehead for entering the customs, so Zhao Dongyun is still concerned about the defense of Shanhaiguan.

There is a Fuyuan machine factory in Tangshan, which supplies the ordnance of the entire Fengtian army, but also supplies the ammunition of Duan Qirui, Wang Shizhen and other troops. It is not too much to pay attention to it.

Meng Enyuan said, "Commander, we naturally know the importance of Tangshan, but Tangshan is too close to Tianjin and Beijing, and it is easy to be affected by the war. Do you think we will move Fuyuan Machinery Factory to Fengtian?"

Zhao Dongyun smiled, but he didn't expect that Meng Enyuan also had this idea. He immediately said, "Fu Factory is located in Tangshan, and there are naturally many inconveniences, but the problem is also big when talking about relocation. You haven't seen the size of Fu Factory. There are thousands of machines in the factory and 20,000 workers. It's not easy to move! "

Zhao Dongyun has considered moving the Fuyuan machine factory to Fengtian more than once, but so far he has not made up his mind. The reason is very simple, that is, once it is relocated, it is basically no different from rebuilding a Fuyuan machine factory, which will make the Fuyuan machine factory move to Fengtian, but After the resumption of production, the cost of money here is still a trivial matter, and the key is time!

The most conservative estimate is that it will take at least a year and a half or even two years from the beginning of the relocation to the restoration of today's normal production capacity. What does this mean? It means that Zhao Dongyun has been unable to obtain a large amount of ordnance from Fuyuan Machinery Factory within a year and a half, which is an unacceptable major loss for the Soviet system, which is in the period of high-speed military expansion.

So I know that it is dangerous for Fuyuan Machinery Factory to be still in Tangshan, but Zhao Dongyun is unwilling to move easily in a short time!

"However, I have talked with the board of directors of Fuchang. Naturally, this relocation will not work, but in the future, they will transfer the follow-up investment to Fengtian, and then gradually transfer some production equipment and technicians to Fengtian to prepare for a new factory, and try to prepare for a new factory without affecting the existing production of Fuchang!"

As mentioned above, this Fuyuan Machinery Factory is not his private asset of Zhao Dongyun. Although he owns shares in it, he does not have a controlling stake. The management of Fuyuan Machinery Factory is controlled by the board of directors of Fuyuan Machinery Factory. According to normal circumstances, they are absolutely unwilling to relocate, but Zhao Dongyun has an army in his hands. Ah, so although the board of directors of Fuyuan Machinery Factory was unwilling, it was forced to accept Zhao Dongyun's proposal.

That is to transfer follow-up funds, technology and equipment and set up a new branch factory in Fengtian, while the old farm in Tangshan maintains the existing production while gradually reducing the scale.

The new factory will be jointly invested by Fuyuan Machinery Factory, Fuyuan Company and Fengtian Official, but the official investment is only a statement, only 300,000 taels of silver, and the big head will have to be Fuyuan Machinery Factory and Fuyuan Company.

However, this new factory only exists in documents, not even a formal name. It is estimated that it will take about two years to wait for this new branch to be established. Therefore, at present, the Fuyuan Machine Factory in Tangshan is still of irreplaceable importance to Zhao Dongyun.

After ordering Meng Enyuan to focus on protecting Tangshan, Zhao Dongyun led the remaining main force to continue to return east. On December 20, Zhao Dongyun arrived in Jinzhou. After inspecting Jinzhou defense, his special train did not stay for long, but then took a large number of military and political dignitaries to Shenyang.

Shenyang, the name has also been changed, because the previous Fengtian has two meanings, one refers to Fengtian Province, and the other refers to Fengtianfu, and also refers to the provincial capital Shengjing.

Because Shengjing is rich in a strong former Qing atmosphere, and in order not to make the name of Fengtian clearer, Zhao Dongyun and others, who are self-proportionate, naturally changed it directly, and Fengtian is specially for Fengtian Province. The original Fengtian Mansion was also changed to Shenyang City in accordance with the new name.

This time, Zhao Dongyun almost took a full set of military and political administration team to Shenyang, because he wanted to establish the station of the 'East Three Provinces Patrol Government' in Shenyang.

And this is also Zhao Dongyun's first visit to Shenyang in many years!
