Chapter 29 God will forgive me
At the end of April, Baoding had already lost the chill of the previous months, but became hot.
In such a hot weather, a telegram sent by Duan Qirui made Yuan Shikai feel the comfort of midsummer. With a smile on his face, he still held Duan Qirui's telegram in his hand: "They did things quickly this time. I thought it would be delayed for several months, but I didn't expect it to take a few days. It will be settled!"
Wang Yingkai, sitting next to him, also responded: "This time we sent thousands of new troops, and Zhao Dongyun led the army to personally pacification Guangzong. Naturally, it is not a matter of pacification of Guangzong's civil unh turn. However, it is unexpected to catch Jing Tingbin so quickly!"
"In this way, we don't have to continue to send to Shunde. Can the vanguard and self-improvement army in Shandong retreat back?" Wang Yingkai said, "There are also foreigners who should also tell him in time to dispel the idea of sending their troops to the south!"
Yuan Shikai said, "Of course, foreigners have to say it. Last year, I think they paid a big price to let them retreat from the army. In the Xin Chou Treaty, they have to pay hundreds of millions of taels. But we can't let them send troops south. Isn't this a joke for the world to see my Beiyang?"
"However, although the rebels of Guangzong have been killed now, the rebels in Wei County, Nanhe and other counties are also a scourge and must continue to be eliminated, so the vanguard and self-improvement teams must continue to march!" Yuan Shikai intends to clean up the south of Zhili: "We can't let them have a civil war every few months. This time, we should suppress the civil war in Shunde Prefecture!"
Wang Yingkai said: "What you said is that Shunde Prefecture and other surrounding prefectures and counties have not been stable in recent years. Now they can take this opportunity to suppress and suppress them!
"There is only the end of the matter in Shunde, and we don't have to worry too much about it. Now our focus is still on the standing army!" Yuan Shikai said this first and then said, "How's your standing army left-wing training going? Is there any problem?"
The reason why Wang Yingkai's special status in the Beiyang system is that Wang Yingkai is the wing leader of the left wing of the Beiyang Standing Army. Originally, when he first began to train the standing army last year, it was co-hosted by Wang Shizhen and Wang Yingkai, but Wang Shizhen has a set of military training, but playing with regime profits is not Wang Yingkai's opponent. In addition, Yuan Shikai himself does not want to see Wang Shizhen control the standing army. Therefore, after the Beiyang Standing Army officially became an army at the beginning of the year, Yuan Shikai ordered Wang Yingkai to serve as the left wing commander of the Beiyang Standing Army and kicked Wang Shizhen out of the standing army again.
In fact, Wang Shizhen was very bitter around 1902, mainly because he had his own talent and was too arrogant. Even if he was not popular, he rarely bowed his head to Yuan Shikai. Therefore, among Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang, Wang Shizhen and other people, he was the one who was the latest to be reused by Yuan Shikai.
Of course, Wang Shizhen's bad luck is Wang Yingkai's luck. Now Wang Yingkai is hand-controlled standing military power. In 1902, he was very majestic and has a tendency to overshadow Duan Qirui.
"Although our army has not fully changed clothes now, more than 10,000 sergeants have been trained for more than half a year and can fight for the north and south at any time!" When Wang Yingkai said this, he was full of heroism. The left wing of the Beiyang Standing Army under him is the elite of the current Beiyang system and even the entire Chinese army!
The compilation, training, etc. are to follow the pace of the latest powers, even better than the Wuwei Right Army, and the backbone officers are almost all old people in the period of small station training. It can be said that the left wing of this standing army is not a newly formed unit, but the essence of the Beiyang system. Sharp troops.
After saying that, he looked at Yuan Shikai's good face and immediately said, "Now there are all the standing military rifle riders, but there is a shortage of machine gun battalions. I dare to suggest a more machine gun camp!"
"Machine gun camp!" As soon as Yuan Shikai heard this word, he thought of the young man Zhao Dongyun. He did not immediately answer Wang Yingkai's words, but said, "It costs a lot to set up a machine gun camp, and it is even more difficult to find the required military commander. Now the machine gun camp under Zhao Dongyun has not been fully completed, so this matter is not urgent!"
Wang Yingkai's mind is not only in the machine gun camp. He also wants the machine gun camp, but people also want: "Zhao Dongyun is talented, but I'm afraid it's a little difficult to let him stay with the Wuwei right army all the time. Is it possible for him to bring the machine gun camp to my standing army, so that he can serve my Beiyang for me? Build a standing army to contribute!"
Wang Yingkai's words are not nonsense. Although the Wuwei Right Army is still the main force in Beiyang so far, everyone knows that the Beiyang Standing Army is the future. Don't you see that countless people want to squeeze into the development of the Standing Army? As for this Wuwei Right Army may still be popular in the past two years, but according to the current Beiyang It is estimated that the process of military expansion will be dismantled in a few years to form a standing army.
And Zhao Dongyun's continued stay in the standing army is obviously unfavorable to his development.
Wang Yingkai is optimistic about Zhao Dongyun. If he can bring Zhao Dongyun closer to his camp, it is estimated that he can add a lot of obstacles to Duan Qirui.
It's just that Wang Yingkai's idea is not a secret. Yuan Shikai can see it at a glance. Although Yuan Shikai acquiesce to his men making trouble, he does not want to make too much noise. He doesn't want Duan Qirui and Wang Yingkai to completely break their faces, so whether it is Zhao Dongyun or his machine gun camp, Wang Yingkai or Duan Qirui cannot be easily transferred.
In addition, as a superior, Yuan Shikai still hopes that his subordinates can develop more factions. For example, he supports Feng Guozhang and Wang Shizhen. His subordinates can't be the only two big mountains Wang Yingkai or Duan Qirui. If possible, he prefers to let Zhao Dongyun maintain independence. In order to better develop its talents for the expansion of the Beiyang army.
Aside from Wang Yingkai's attempt to secretly dig Duan Qirui's corner again, he said that Zhao Dongyun was in Guangzong County. Since the end of the farce-like war in a village, he really had no interest in the next suppression of bandits.
At the beginning, he actively went south to suppress bandits. What he wanted was to make contributions. Of course, in addition to making contributions, he also hoped to increase his horizons and his addiction to war, but it was obvious that Jing Tingbin did not give him such an opportunity. Now it seems that this suppression of bandits is completely a child playing at home, just a farce.
In this regard, Zhao Dongyun, who had made contributions, became a little lazy. After returning to Guangzong County from Jianji Village, Zhao Dongyun only sent a lot of troops to the surrounding area to suppress the Lianzhuang Association and the boxing bandits. He was no longer personally leading troops to suppress the bandits.
However, after the First World War, thousands of bandits in Guangzong County were arrested, and the rest did not know that they fled there. It is estimated that they would not dare to show up for a while, so the army sent out a lot, but not many people were caught, and the results were far less obvious than before. .
After sending the troops out, Zhao Dongyun became a little more doless. On this day, he ate and drank with Zhao E in broad daylight.
Although Zhao E is a little old and looks like a pedantic civil official, Zhao Dongyun found that this person is actually quite interesting when he has more contact with him. Although he doesn't know much about those new things, he doesn't look like a pedantic official at all. After the second flower wine, Zhao E and Zhao Dongyun became brothers. Zhao E said, "There are no excellent prostitutes in Guangzong's small place. When Guangzong's affairs are over, Zhao Dongyun will be invited to the eight alleys in Beijing for sightseeing."
Zhao Dongyun answered, "I haven't seen a woman from Beijing. If I have a chance, I will definitely see one or two!"
After two more drinks, Zhao E said, "I've always wanted to see the scenery under the skirt of a Thai woman, but it's a pity that it hasn't been good!"
Zhao Dongyun laughed and said, "Next time you go to Shanghai to have a look. As Paris in the Far East, Shanghai can still lack blonde women on the court."
Zhao E said repeatedly, and agreed with Zhao Dongyun that he must go to Shanghai on a certain day!
After Zhao Dongyun returned to his temporary residence, he just entered the door and saw a shadow flashing behind the door. He looked at it as if he knew him, but he didn't seem to know him.
He walked in with his eyes wide open and shook his dizzy head. Then he smiled and said, "It turned out to be Miss Fang. Why am I so familiar?"
Fang Ruolian, dressed in a nun's robe, wanted to argue that you can't call me Miss Fang, you should call me Sister Fang, but when she saw Zhao Dongyun's drunkenness, she knew that it was useless to tell him, so she didn't say this.
Zhao Dongyun looked at the beautiful woman in front of him with his eyes half open. Suddenly, he felt that the gray robe of the nun who had been very eye-catching before was not so annoying, so he stepped forward with a smile and said, "Today you look different. You have become more beautiful than before!"
Fang Ruolian looked at Zhao Dongyun and went straight forward. At this time, the distance between the two was less than one meter. This distance could make her smell the strong wine from Zhao Dongyun's body. She frowned and said, "Lord Zhao, you are drunk. Go to bed early!"
Drunk people never say that they are drunk, and Zhao Dongyun is the same: "It's just a few drinks, far from getting drunk!"
At this time, Zhao Dongyun suddenly felt that he smelled a faint fragrance, which seemed to emanate from the woman opposite, very fragrant!
The faint aroma changed like an aphrodisiac fragrance under the stimulation of alcohol, which made Zhao Dongyun feel a little dry and hot. He wanted to unbutton the neckline to make his breathing smoother, but the button was not unbuttoned because he had to fall down.
Fang Ruolian saw it and had no time to think about it, but she subconsciously stretched out her hand to help her!
So, the next moment, Zhao Dongyun fell into Fang Ruolian's arms and took advantage of the opportunity to hold it!
Fang Ruolian was stunned at this moment. Should I let him fall to the ground or hold him?
But it's okay to hold him, but why did he still hold himself, and his hand didn't seem to be honest. At this moment, she couldn't even tell whether he was deliberately or really drunk!
Fang Ruolian struggled slightly and wanted to hold Zhao Dongyun back, but although Zhao Dongyun was not a tall and eight-foot strong man, his military career for many years also made him extremely strong, and his weight was as heavy as Fang Ruolian. Fang Ruolian, a weak woman, can't help Zhao Dongyun fall down when Zhao Dongyun can't stand at all.
If you want to make Zhao Dongyun stand by himself, it is not very difficult!
He is intentional, absolutely intentional! Why don't you fall early, why don't you fall late, but when you stand in front of you?
Fang Ruolian feels that she is the most aggrieved nun in the world! I wanted to call someone to help him, but I looked left and right and saw no one. I shouted twice, but no one came. Moreover, she doesn't want to see a man hugging her in her heart. Even if she is a nun, she will be shy!
After thinking about it, Fang Ruolian felt that she could no longer let him hold him like this. At that moment, she took Zhao Dongyun's hand away, then held him and whispered, "Your Excellency, wake up, stand well and don't fall down!"
At this time, Zhao Dongyun, who had been drunk, could hear what he was saying. He just hummed meaninglessly, and then waited for Fang Ruolian to let go of his hand, and his body was about to fall forward in a flash.
Fang Ruolian said 'ah' and had no choice but to extend her hands and hug Zhao Dongyun again. At this time, she was about to cry. She hurriedly looked at the room behind her, and then bit her red lips to help Zhao Dongyun walk into the room.
So she muttered that God would forgive me and dragged Zhao Dongyun into her room!
