Chapter 78: Southwest New Bureau

"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers ... the latest declaration. Inner in Guangxi, the warlord Zhang Shusheng of the Yunnan Department has profited ..."
"Selling newspapers and selling newspapers ... The Gui system fought for the next few days, and Shen Lu suffered both defeats. The Dian warlord Zhang Shusheng suddenly emerged ..."
"... Variables are added to the southwest. Zhang Shusheng of the Dian Dynasty has strong troops and strong horses. His Majesty soldiers defeated the Gui Department by one hundred ..."
Guangzhou, Shanghai, Beijing ... in the major cities of China, early in the morning, people who are begging for life have just been on the streets and have been attracted by the news of newspapers. Some people are concerned about national affairs and have the world in their hearts. Some people are not. Many numb Chinese people don't save a few dollars a day, but they always like to spend a little money to buy a newspaper and see where the warlords start again. In special times, hearing the news of the dead is also a pastime. With self-consolation, I feel that I am still alive, and it is a good day.
When these elites and wealthy people, teachers, and employees opened the newspaper, they suddenly found a black and white photo occupying a considerable position on the front page. The photo was set in a city where the smoke was not scattered. An elite army was Arranged neatly into the city. From the photos. This army is rigorous and well-equipped, especially the heavy machine gun that was carried into the city and caught the attention of countless people.
Here's what the photo says: On March 23, 1924, Zhang Shusheng, the victor of the Battle of Guilin, was entering the city.
The "Report" 's report on the war began like this: In the situation of the North and South being in a critical situation and the northern warlords confronting each other, the Yunnan warlord Zhang Shusheng was attacked by Gui Rongting at the invitation of Lu Rongting. After several days of hard work, he finally gained actual control of Guangxi. The author personally saw that Zhang Shusheng's subordinates were highly disciplined and well-trained, and they were all tigers ...
There is also a new-born newspaper, "Guangzhou National Daily", which reported on the Guangxi melee as follows: ... The local warlords headed by Zhang Shusheng, disregarding justice, disregarding the overall situation of reunification, disregarding Mr. Sun's shouts, violate The spirit of the Three People's Principles ...
The general meaning is almost the same: exclaim, another powerful warlord in the southwest! !! !!
Zhang Shusheng put down the newspaper summary in his hand, these are the latest reports published by several special heavyweight times in the country sent by the Special Ministry. The above are some reports about the battle of Shenlu in Guangxi. Except for the reports that are relevant, they are basically broken on one side. The report from Shenbao was the most pertinent. This press release from Guilin City faithfully recorded the shock that the reporter felt at the time. There was a word of prophecy in him that made Zhang Shusheng look down: Dongchuan Army's elite is the first in the country.
unfortunately. With the heavy machine guns in the photos alone, no one apparently believed the reporter's illusory scene. At a time when this information was lagging behind and communications were seriously underdeveloped, the shock brought by a simple military ritual for entering the city could hardly be delivered to the people through a solitary newspaper.
They have become accustomed to the bragging of the warlords, and in the end it has always been proved that the army that was blown into the sky by the warlords is a rundown team. Fighting without going to war, it hurts the people.
Zhang Shusheng put away the newspaper and called Mao Yunxian: "Apart from the military expansion meeting at noon, what meeting schedule do I have this afternoon?"
Mao Yunxian replied respectfully: "District chief, there is also a conference on Guangxi infrastructure construction that you need to attend."
Originally I wanted to take a moment to go and check the car production line. I just received an emergency call from the car factory saying that one of the key equipment in the bearing factory was broken. Bearing-based auto parts can't keep up, causing both car production lines to stop and wait for parts. "You remember, I won't go back for dinner at night, and go directly to the canteen of the car factory."
"Yes, district chief."
At noon, the Guilin Battle Military Summary Conference and Dongchuan District Military Expansion Conference.
This was a very important meeting, except for Jiang Baili, Chen Jun and Chu Shiwen, three military and staff chiefs who were far away in Guangxi. Other regiment-level deputy cadres and officers above were present.
"... In this assault on Guilin, the traffic problem became a big problem. The heavy and personnel transportation became difficult because the entire road was simple. The frontline troops used trucks flexibly and equipped with heavy machine guns to form movements. The firepower method is worth learning ...
...... After eight years of formalized military training and growing up through the Xundian-Xuanwei campaign, the group finally exerted its due power in the Guangxi operation, allowing the generations to see the small places. Big army.
This victory was huge and far-reaching, and it proved the value of the existence of the militia.
Why do we spend so much money supporting our troops? But it's a matter of raising troops for a thousand days. Only when the army is strong and strong can we occupy more territory. Only by occupying more land can we get more resources, more population, and more living space. As a result, we can expand more troops and have more powerful defensive and offensive forces ... Let me give you the simplest example. A key material for the production of engines, we have not produced in Dongchuan District. Previously, we could only buy it back a little bit from Lu Rongting, but now we can mine it by ourselves, because Guangxi is ours! !! "
Zhang Shusheng didn't talk too much about the principles. The principles were usually talked about every year, every month and every day, maybe the grass-roots instructors with ready-made textbooks talked better than themselves. What kind of class contradictions and potential ethnic contradictions, these Zhang Shusheng just mentioned roughly. Instead, they used the most plain words to train these middle and senior officers.
"Now I announce!"
"Pop". Officers of the militias stood neatly and side by side, waiting for the final expansion order. The Expansion Conference also officially entered its final climax.
"From now on, the militias will gradually expand to two regular divisions and two reserve divisions on the basis of one regular division and one reserve division. The first division division commander, Wu Tiejun, and instructor Li Junming. The second division division director Tao Qian, instructor Chu Shiwen. Tie Sangan, the first division of the reserve division, and Zhu Gesheng, the instructor ... Lu Ziyun, the second division of the reserve division ... "
Expansion of the militia is imperative, otherwise let alone being knocked on the door, I am afraid that the flesh in Guangxi will not be able to hold it sooner or later. Since the finances were acceptable, Zhang Shusheng chose to expand the army rationally. Maintaining one of the country's most elite regular troops, training and reserving a domestic first-class reserve force, and carrying out emergency expansion during wartime, even for the so-called "Mr. Sun's Armed Northern Expeditionary Army" a few years later, there is a great deal Hold it.
"... Equipment of all troops will also be gradually modernized. The order has been read out." Zhang Shusheng read this plan of military expansion that was either joyous or sad. In the face of absolute rights, he allows others to be happy or lost, but it must not lead to cognitive problems. "I hope that everyone can gain lessons whether they are promoted or degraded. Or as I said, I Zhang Shusheng always has a clear reward and punishment. This time I saved the face of a very small number of people. I did not rush you directly home. Delegating you to the company is not only a severe punishment for you, but also wants to give you another chance. If the assessment is still unsuccessful, You can apply for retirement by yourself without having to notify me !!! And if you can be painful and prove yourself with actual actions, I guarantee that his future promotion will never be artificially blocked. "
Longsheng nine sons, nine samples. For those who did not perform well, Zhang Shusheng did not hide, but went directly through the expansion conference, eliminating two regiment-level deputy officers. They were returned directly to the company. Fortunately, the size of the army is small, and there are no problems with the regular officers at the regimental level. Of these deputy officers who are in trouble, several people are out of cleverness and have made small subjective mistakes. Zhang Shusheng did not strangle them with a single pole, but he also gave unusually severe punishment.
Of course, if you dare to be dissatisfied or conspiracy to be deposed to the company, then I'm sorry, the branch of the Special Intelligence Department of the Civilian Regiment, an agent of the Military Intelligence Bureau in the dense army, will meet you as soon as possible. Not to send you to retire, but to send you to a military court.
Empowering both sides, the following officers, no matter high or low, could not help but be cautious, even if they asked themselves to be 100% loyal and not afraid of death.
In this weekday, the leader who is very good at speaking is always so ruthless when dealing with major events that affect the entire people's league.
After the military expansion meeting, Zhang Shusheng returned to the office, stood in front of the huge map of China, and began to meditate again.
The situation in Yunnan, Guizhou and Guizhou is extremely delicate today.
In the past, Yunnan, Guizhou and Guizhou were mixed with large and small forces. After two years of joint efforts by Zhang Shusheng and Tang Jiyao, the situation in Yunnan, Guizhou and Guizhou has changed greatly.
Tang Jiyao occupied all of southern Yunnan and Guizhou, and Zhang Shusheng conquered all of northern Yunnan and newly occupied Guangxi. As a result, it seems that there are only two Yunnan-Guizhou-guitars, but the situation has not changed, but the situation has worsened.
This cross-shaped force confronted each other, making both sides afraid to act lightly. Zhang Shusheng was mainly constrained by the overall number of troops. Tang Jiyao was afraid of Zhang Shusheng's well-equipped and well-trained troops. One side had fewer soldiers and one side had more soldiers. Once they came and went, they tied again.
Neither Zhang Shusheng nor Tang Jiyao had any fighting strength for the time being. Even when Zhang Shusheng took the Guangxi chaos and won Guilin in one fell swoop, Tang Jiyao did not move. Either party moves first, the greater the loss.
Zhang Shusheng did not dare to disturb, once he sent his troops south to attack Tang Jiyao. Tang Jiyao's troops in Guizhou are estimated to be heading for his own nest. The same is true of Tang Jiyao, neither base camp nor Guizhou can resist the onslaught of a large army of Zhang Shusheng. Only cross-shaped pinning can make the two sides face down smoothly.
"In this way, I can read the book at www.uukanshu.com for at least one year. I can develop the economy with peace of mind." Zhang Shusheng nodded with satisfaction. He never had any negotiations with Tang Jiyao, but the two parties seemed to have a tacit understanding. Similarly, the confrontation lines are far apart.
The most amazing thing is that Qujing, a traffic route between Dongchuan and Guangxi, often intersperses with each other. Tang Jiyao transported money and grain from Guizhou to Kunming, Zhang Shusheng transported goods from Dongchuan District to Guangxi and went to sea ...
At the transportation conference held in the afternoon, the experts seriously discussed two options. One is a road repair plan formulated by the returning road expert Lu Ziming, and the other is a feasibility analysis report on the construction of a small hydropower station in Guilin and Nanning by a water conservancy expert Feng Yan.
After listening carefully to the reports of the two, Zhang Shusheng listened to the discussions of other people. He did not express much opinion as a layman, but concluded: "You are experts, and I am a layman. I will not talk about this. I mainly consider flood prevention. As for the construction of highways, I would like to make two points. First, the situation in Guangxi and Yunnan is similar. It is rainy. Road construction must take into account issues such as road hardening, drainage, and anti-collapse. 2. For some special locations, you can choose a higher cost construction plan without deliberate saving, such as pouring cement or paving asphalt. I hope that the scholars and technicians present here will be able to complete this batch of traffic regulations as soon as possible with full enthusiasm. And hydropower projects in Guangxi. "(!)
