Chapter 436 Retreat
In terms of official expenses, Qian Shuiting did notice that he was almost pretentious - he was influenced by the United States. He knew that politics was nothing small, and if he really wanted to get big, his underwear would be stripped naked. When he was facing the scene, his maid drank a cup of boiled water in the office of the Executive Committee and someone would reveal it.
Qian Shuiting smiled and said, "Is it the purpose of the Senate to save office funds?"
"Okay, let's not talk about these fake vacancy." Shan Liang can't find any new flash in life treatment now. After all, the life treatment of the veterans has improved rapidly after the Maid Revolution, and he has a different purpose this time.
"I saw the veteran military and political proposal on BBS - it was someone who wanted to kill Zhu Dadian..."
Qian Shuiting moved his butt on the chair and thought to himself that he was "coming again". He had become tired of listening to this matter these days. The worst thing was that as the speaker, he could not clearly light his butt, so he had to patiently listen to everyone's long comments.
"The matter itself doesn't matter. It's a big deal to die a Ming bureaucrat," Shan Liang made his position clear at the beginning, "But from this incident, I think the veterans of the foreign countries are becoming more and more popular..."
When he said this, he kept looking at Qian Shuiting and peeking at his reaction. Sure enough, Qian Shuiting's unnatural smile made him realize that the Speaker had similar thoughts to him.
"The tendency of the elders stationed abroad to go alone has become increasingly fierce after the Leizhou Station Changshi Ethics incident." Shan Liang came prepared and had already hidden an "article" in his mind. This article was not written by him alone, but more of "collective creation". "According to the plan announced in the past, the purpose of the 'Engine Action' is to obtain the population of Shandong. From this point of view, is the leader of the Shandong Front Committee a little confused about the goal?"
Qian Shuiting continued to remain silent.
"The occupation of Jinmu Island is for a transfer base, but the occupation of Zhao is far from within the plan." Shan Liang said, "Without the authorization of the Senate, a large number of militias were expanded locally, forming a fait accompli for occupying some areas along the coast of Shandong... Such a big strategic move is not just a simple tactical move like Lu Zeyang entered the Nanguan Pass in Laizhou when he entered the Nanguan Pass to defend the battle."
Shan Liang continued: "Does the senate still have a Senate in your heart? Do whatever you want to do, and ask the Senate to wipe your butt after doing it! The fait accompliment adds resources to it. Anyway, as long as you have political achievements, you will be recognized in the end - if you want this, why do you need the rubber stamp of the Senate?!"
Qian Shuiting's eyebrows slightly raised.
"The fact that the liquidation of Chang Shide incident was not thoroughly caused such a thing. I think this can't continue. Now there are more and more veterans sent out, and the power they hold is far less than that of Chang Shide and his sugar factory. Some of them are already vassals, and they are all under control of military and political power. Now, if you don't have any problems, it's hard to say that a monster like the Kwantung Army will be caused in the future."
Qian Shuiting looked serious.
"The Zhu Dadian matter is not necessary to discuss it at all - because the proposal is wrong from the starting point!" Shan Liang's voice increased a little. "The original purpose of the engine plan was to use the Denglai Incident. Assassination of Zhu Dadian and prolong the entire incident process, such a thing as not being within the original plan. What case did he propose? This is a typical self-talking behavior!"
Qian Shuiting asked: "What is your suggestion?"
"The engine operation is now in a state of rest, and all aspects of work are not very nervous. I think it is necessary for the Senate to hold a hearing on the development of the motivational operation. A comprehensive report on the organization, implementation and completion of this operation is conducted, and all the problems currently exist in the operation. Those with serious problems must be dealt with seriously. Some veterans can consider transferring positions."
Qian Shuiting was silent for a few minutes and said, "Are you planning to initiate a proposal on this issue?"
"Of course I'm willing. I'm very willing to serve." Shan Liang said with a smile, and deliberately emphasized the word "serve".
"It's so hot..." Lv Zeyang wore a bamboo hat and a single robe mixed with cotton and linen. This was the coolest local outfit. It was a special summer uniform for Shandong made by Minister Hong specially organized by people: a cotton and linen blended with bamboo hat. In contrast, local village warriors wore summer cloth gowns and torn straw hats, looking vulgar.
He held the command file he had just sent.
Fan Shier served him like a pug, and was determined to curry favor with the "Lu Tuan General" who seemed to have "promising future". According to his idea, this Lu Tuan General was so successful in Laizhou. When this chaos passed, the court would definitely reward Mr. Qian. If he could serve as a small leader under his command, his future would be much better than opening a half-dead small restaurant under this city of Laizhou.
The weather is hot now, and Mr. Lu Tuan has a bad appetite. Fan Shier made cold noodles, added peanut butter, and light side dishes to serve Mr. Lu Tuan.
Since Xu Congzhi died in battle and Zhu Dadian took office, the rebels' attack on Laizhou is no longer as fierce as usual. It seems that they realize that no matter how fierce the attack is, it is impossible to open Laizhou. Starting from June, in addition to leaving some troops to continue to siege Laizhou, most of the main forces have retreated. The scouts sent by Lv Zeyang reported that the rebels' blockade at the city had begun to weaken. Although there may be 10,000 remaining troops, most of the main forces of the rebels formed by the old troops of Dongjiang have left Laizhou. Most of the rebels who are now staying at the city of Laizhou, continuing to siege the city are the original Shandong Town Army, the Southern Army and the defeated remnants of the officers and soldiers. Only the two thousand cavalry led by Kong Youde remained at the city of Laizhou, which not only monitored other rebels, but also had the intention of controlling the passage.
According to the judgment of the Shandong Front Committee, the rebels could not capture Laizhou for a long time, and found that the Huangxian area had gradually been controlled by the Senate, and there was already an attempt to find another way.
The rebels have been besieging Laizhou for a long time, with the main purpose of "taking the way out". Only by rushing out of Dengzhou, the small seaside open space facing the sea and the mountains, can the rebels have great room for maneuver and continuously expand their strength. Whenever the peasant army riots, they must be mobile warfare at the beginning, and strengthen themselves to attack the enemy in the flow. The same is true for the rebels in Denglai.
Now there is no hope of conquering Laizhou. Since the rebels have no hope of "breaking through" this line of Laizhou, Li Jiucheng, as the commander of the rebels, must find another breakthrough. Then Qixia and Peaceful Dimensions are their most ideal breakthrough location.
Although the landforms of ancient and modern times have changed, the roughly terrain remains unchanged. From the map, these two places are still national highways and provincial highways in the 21st century. Whether it is the capture of Pingdu or Qixia, the rebels can rush out of Denglai and directly enter the more prosperous and wider Xisanfu area.
Further, once you enter the three Western prefectures, when the situation is favorable, you can go north to Hebei, west to Henan, and south to straight south. In case the situation is unfavorable, you can also retreat to Denglai.
Since the main force of the rebels had already found another way, Zhu Dadian also arrived in Qingzhou. The Front Committee believed that the fall of Laizhou might not be very surnamed, and it would be meaningless for Lu Zeyang to continue to stay in Laizhou. It would be better to transfer to the newly built Zhaoyuanzhai in Zhaoyuan area as a mobile force. This is the order that Lu Zeyang saw.
"We're finally leaving." Lv Zeyang stretched and fought in Laizhou for a long time. He had formed a "deep friendship" with the people, officers and soldiers, officials and gentry, and even the rebels outside the city - everyone who fought with him was "dead heroically" - and now he still felt reluctant to leave when he was about to go back.
However, it is summer now, and he has almost eaten sea intestines and mackerel dumplings. There is no new trick to stay here. Sun Yuanhua's plate is now stable, and according to private messages from his colleagues from the Finance Department, many people in the Senate criticized him, saying that he was "not doing his job" in Laizhou. After he proposed the plan to kill Zhu Dadian, someone wanted to "take the head of the neck to comfort the loyal ministers and martyrs."
"Teleman!" Lv Zeyang sat up from the bamboo couch.
"Yes!" A messenger ran in - this young man was not brought by him from Linggao, but was supplemented on the spot in Dengzhou. In order to increase the combat effectiveness of the village warriors, he used all the soldiers and acted as the commander of the village warriors.
"All collection!"
Lv Zeyang's retreat lasted for a day. He first went to the city to say goodbye to Sun Yuanhua. Although Sun Yuanhua was surprised by his sudden retreat, he relied on his southern gate these days to not lose it, and there was also a highlight of the victory of the Nanguan Pass. Although he was a little worried about his retreat, Lv Zeyang said that the most dangerous time in Laizhou had passed, and he felt relieved after these days. His judgment of the Australians was already a little superstitious. He even felt that they were saved and guided by God's will.
The gentry and civil and military officials in the city must be polite. Although everyone was different, they had worked together. General Yang, General Peng Shen and others praised his subordinates' firearms and were determined to get a few "Australian firearms" from him. Selling arms was a established policy. Therefore, Lv Zeyang's application was quickly approved, and one hundred Nanyang-style rifles were transported from Linggao, each with 50 bullets and fire caps, not bayonets. The sale price was 20 taels of silver per. In addition, there were 10 officers using ivory handle smoothbore fire cap revolvers, equipped with 50 bullets and fire caps, with a unit price of 45 taels of silver.
Of course, the Senate did not lack the 2,000 taels of silver, which was just a way to find out the arms trade. In the late Ming Dynasty, the military leaders had money. I would be sorry for the veterans of the Workers' Energy Commission if they didn't make a good fortune.
Yang Yufan bought 50 pieces in one breath - in fact, he wanted to buy them all, but others also wanted to buy them, so they had to split a part of them, so Zhang Tao and others bought the remaining 50 pieces. Naturally, they snatched the pistols and snatched them out.
