Although Wu Wei’s right army has a military name, there was a short division of 3,000 troops stationed in Nanyuan’s control and defense palaces, and then a short division and a battalion were deployed to suppress Shunde’s anti-fertilizer. Now it is necessary to deploy a battalion of police to Tianjin, and the remaining strength is less than 10,000, which is different from that of the standing army. In the future, it is even necessary to reorganize one by one, so it is not necessary to directly assign the machine gun battalion. In case of war, the machine gun battalion can be transferred to cooperate with the war.
The number of self-improvement troops is only 3,000, and there are many differences between the military system and our Beiyang system. It is ok to be anxious for a while, but it is inconvenient to maintain it for a long time, so it is necessary to belong to the machine gun battalion! "
Zhao Dongyun’s words are also carefully considered. There must be a town and a battalion in the standing army, but it is not necessary.
If he is still in the right army of Wu Wei, then he must win a battalion of machine guns for the right army of Wu Wei, but now he is not a right soldier of Wu Wei, but a deputy of the military and political department coach office to supervise the machine guns, so it is necessary to look at the problem from the whole Beiyang height
The right army of Wu Wei made a big splash around the Year of Geng, but by 192, the actual right army of Wu Wei was not the right army of Wu Wei in the Year of Geng. In the past two years, the right army of Wu Wei was dismantled and transferred many times. First, more than 3,000 people were transferred to Beijing to meet the return of the two palaces, but these 3,000 people were gone forever. They were directly left by Cixi to stay in the capital of Wei.
Then it was transferred. Originally, Zhao Dongyun was in charge of the second battalion. However, Shunde was still not built. In addition, because the allied forces said that they could not let the squadron enter Tianjin, Yuan Shikai planned to adapt a battalion of Wuwei Right Army into a police officer. It is not to say that foreigners would think that it is their problem. Anyway, Yuan Shikai said that they are policemen or soldiers, and foreigners have nothing to say.
As a result, in less than a year, Wu Wei’s right army was transferred by the establishment of more than 6 thousand people. Although it has been recruiting and supplementing personnel for more than a year, it has not been able to resume its establishment
Because last year, the core of Beiyang’s expansion was the standing army, which was very well compiled for the right army of Wuwei, and the right army of Wuwei will be expanded in a big way.
Furthermore, Yuan Shikai, who trained the standing army, transferred a large number of backbones from the right army of Wuwei to the standing army, which also led to the shortage of officers in the right army of Wuwei and greatly reduced their quality.
In this way, the right army of Wu Wei is no longer at its peak last year, and it is foreseeable that Yuan Shikai will continue to dismantle the right army of Wu Wei and expand the standing army, which means that it is not long before it is estimated that this right army of Wu Wei will become a historical term.
So Wu Wei’s right army naturally has no need to belong to an entire machine gun battalion.
The original strength of the Self-Strengthening Army is less and its establishment is relatively backward. What’s more important is that it was originally a Zhangdong Army, and now the whole Beiyang is thinking of dismembering and annexing this army, and there will be machine gun troops attached to it!
After listening to Zhao Dongyun’s remarks, Yuan Shikai frowned and said, "So there are three machine gun battalions in total?"
Zhao Dongyun, however, said, "There are three battalions directly attached to each town, but I still have many other troops in Beiyang, and I need machine gun support more or less in wartime. In the future, there must be more town associations that need machine gun teams, so I can practice machine guns again and then properly attach them to each army."
"Four battalions are short of three battalions besides the original one!" After Yuan Shikai said it, he looked at Zhao Dongyun again. "If you practice, you may practice?"
This question is nonsense. Does Zhao Dongyun dare to say that if Zhao Dongyun can’t practice at this time, he will naturally be more serious than saying that "the Ministry will do its best to do this machine gun well and will not live up to the high hopes of the governor!"
Yuan Shikai has already made a decision about running the machine gun camp. Calling Zhao Dongyun here today is just to listen to his words.
Yuan Shikai nodded and immediately turned his head to Zhou Xuexi. "How much silver can Xuexi make over there?"
Zhou Xuexi came to the Governor’s Mansion today to be the God of Wealth. After hearing Yuan Shikai’s question, Zhou Xuexi wanted to or didn’t want to immediately say, "Just now, Governor Xian said that this battalion needs 35,200 to start, but the third battalion is 105,200. If you want to take it out in a short time, I’m afraid it’s not enough. So I can dial 42,000 for recruitment and ordnance deposit, and then I’ll dial 42,000 for the remaining 25,200 in the third month. Do you think it’s feasible for Governor Xian?"
Although Zhou Xuexi has a lot of money in his hand, it is all in his own way. Beiyang’s great cause is big, but it is also expensive and impossible for him to run a machine gun for Zhao Dongyun. It is already very kind of Zhou Xuexi to take out 105,200 pieces in batches in these three months.
Zhao Dongyun listened to his mouth, although he had many ideas, but he would never talk about it today. He said how many machine gun teams we need and how to train them, but asking for money is not his business. That is Yuan Shikai’s business.
Yuan Shikai nodded and said a word "can!"
Then he just waved his hand to let Zhao Dongyun go to Zhou Xuexi. He had to meet others. A group of people outside were waiting for Yuan Shikai to summon him. He was too busy to talk more.
After Zhou Xuexi and Zhao Dongyun came out together, Zhao Dong Yun bowed to Zhou Xuexi. "This machine gun thing has to be carried by General Manager Zhou!"
Zhou Xuexi listened and laughed. "What are you polite about? Although the money is tight here, it’s not bad for you!"
Zhou Xuexi Zhao Dongyun had talked with Yuan Shikai about organizing the machine gun team before he went in. Facing Yuan Shikai’s personal account, Zhou Xuexi didn’t dare to neglect what he said. Even if Zhao Dongyun didn’t compliment him, he would give Zhao Dongyun the money. Of course, all kinds of rules would be deducted.
Now I see Zhao Dongyun’s attitude towards myself seems to be not bad, and I think of Yuan Shikai’s emphasis on Zhao Dongyun, a young man. It is estimated that this person will be able to get up in a few years, so I can’t tell this friendship after I have made a mind to make friends.
So I’m also going to give money to myself, which is not as usual. I don’t give money until I get enough benefits.
After the two of them went out all the way and said two sentences, Zhao Dong Yun remembered that his Fuyuan cotton mill had been short of money to expand, but at present there was a bank and a God of Wealth who could issue money.
Immediately, he said, "I heard that there is also a loan on the official bank of Tianjin?"
After listening to Zhou Xuexi, he didn’t expect a soldier like Zhao Dongyun to talk about borrowing and immediately nodded consciously. "There is a commercial loan!"
Zhao Dong said, "It’s true that there is a cotton mill at home, but I heard from people the other day that I want to borrow money to expand the scale. I just remembered when I met an adult today!"
Zhou Xuexi was a little curious when he heard it. He didn’t expect Zhao Dongyun to run an industry. Nowadays, it is still relatively rare for Chinese people to play industry. Most of them dare to play cotton mills in business or in the whole industry. This new industry requires knowledge and courage.
Anyway, the loan is not a big deal. It is necessary for Zhao Dongyun’s famous cotton mill to have good benefits and the ability to repay the loan. He Zhou Xuexi is naturally under the pressure of loan. Besides, even if the benefits are not good, there is still a Zhao Dong cloud with it. The so-called monk can’t run the temple.
He is in charge of this Tianjin official bank, but everyone knows that this is the Beiyang Cashier Beiyang expansion purse.
It’s not easy for anyone who dares to borrow money from Tianjin Guanyin Bank and not pay back Yuan Shikai to copy tens of thousands of Beiyang Army!
So Zhou Xuexi said very readily, "I’ll say hello to the face-to-face when it’s easy to say this. You can just let people do it!"
It is natural for two people to say that somehow it is also impossible for Beiyang military and political officials to talk about the details of commercial loans in person. Two people just say a few words to finalize the generous and backward nature, and some people will run errands to do detailed things.
After leaving the praetorium, Zhao Dong Yun sent Zhou Xuexi to the sedan chair and left. Then he went directly to the yamen of the military and political department, and he had to visit Feng Guozhang, the general manager of the head coach’s office.
Although his deputy is different from ordinary deputy, he specializes in machine gun affairs. To some extent, the military and political department’s coaching department is not much more like a temporary job
However, even if it is a temporary job in Feng Guozhang, it is still his company, so the superficial courtesy has to be done
However, Feng Guozhang obviously understands the situation before and after seeing Zhao Dongyun. Instead, he is very kind. "Dongyun, you are back. I have been thinking about having another drink with you for a long time. Today, I just hosted a table just to give you a dinner!"
In the face of such enthusiasm, Feng Guozhang Zhao Dongyun really can’t say anything about him except mirth. Looking at such enthusiasm, Feng Guozhang Zhao Dongyun always feels that something is wrong!
