Chapter 61 The lion opens its mouth
Update time: 2012-06-30
Damn, since you, Duan Qirui, in your previous life, I can’t say what I can do at this moment. In fact, this is a really bad idea!
According to Wang Geng’s own idea, he must control a central military in the center. If any province dares to call him **, he will directly kill him, so that local warlords will know that there is no problem of sending power on and sending it at will. It is a word of death to make trouble and split the country!
"Of course, when the provinces are in trouble, those who know will say that it is the Prime Minister who is instructing him behind his back. Moreover, the side effects will be quite great in the future. It not only gives the great powers an opportunity to take advantage of, but also encourages the ambitions of the supervisors. It is definitely not the best way to do so unless it has to be forced!"
Wang Geng thought to himself, I will never say that ugly thing that encouraged Zhang Xun to restore the rebellion. If you are fooled by Xu Shuzheng, you really dare to make trouble for the restoration and rebellion, I will pat you and take off Feng Guozhang!
Duan Qirui sighed in his heart after hearing Wang Geng's words. He and Xu Shuzheng thought it was a trick, but Wang Geng, who came back from the pastry, said it out and criticized it as a bad strategy!
Now that I think about it this way, it is really a solution. If the central government needs to have authority, it cannot encourage the ambition of local governors. If I really encourage the provincial government to promote the stigma according to what Xu Shuzheng said, I am afraid that this eternal infamy will not be eliminated in a day or two.
"Wang Geng, I still have to think about the strategies you mentioned carefully, and then listen to the opinions of Youzheng and Danchen. Let's talk about you first. I have recognized your talent. What kind of position do you want to take on when you come to join me? Since you don't want to go to the Army Department, where else do you want to go?"
Duan Qirui changed his tone and found Wang Geng's appetite.
"This... Thanks to the Prime Minister's love, I have no reservations in front of you. I am a stubborn person, which is even better than Xu Shuzheng. I would rather be the head of a chicken than the queen. I would rather be the boss than the queen. I would like to say that Prime Minister, I will take advantage of the position around you. Diplomacy, military, and finance are my strengths! But except yourself, others cannot be my boss!"
Wang Geng's tone was still crazy, but he had a humble smile on his face, which seemed extremely sincere in front of Duan Qirui!
"Wang Geng, you are so crazy. Youzheng was not as arrogant as you back then. If you were just a first time, I would really promise you, the chief of the cabinet. Not to mention that the Congress could not pass, even Youzheng and others would laugh at me for messing up the rules!"
Duan Qirui said helplessly, "Wang Geng is an amazing talent, and may even be inferior to him in some aspects. The way of using people emphasizes a balance. He has been scolded by the government and the government for using Xu Shuzheng.
If Wang Geng suddenly reached a high position at a young age like he was promoted to Youzheng, how could he convince the public?
Youzheng's contributions made by his command have finally been obvious to all over the years. Could it be that he is really Liu Bei who is sitting at home? After being fooled by Wang Geng, Zhuge Liang, came to the study, he would follow the plan?
Duan Qirui felt very embarrassed for a moment, but if he lost Wang Geng, he would never agree!
"Wang Geng, come and vote for me, for power, fame, and profit?" Duan Qirui asked in a different way.
"Like Prime Minister, I am not for fame, wealth, but for the rejuvenation and construction of the country and nation, and for the Chinese to stand tall among the nations of the world! For the construction of China into a democratic and prosperous country!"
Wang Geng sat upright, saying with a solemn expression on his face.
"Don't just talk nonsense, what's the specific?" Duan Qirui nodded and smiled. Obviously, although he may not really believe in Wang Geng's ambition, he could hear it.
"Specifically, I want to assist the Prime Minister in unifying Beiyang, and then unifying the whole country, driving the Russians and the Japanese out of China, so that the great powers can get along with us on the same level and cooperate with us for win-win cooperation!" Wang Geng said with a smile.
"Okay! Remember what you said today! The Army Department is now under the supervision of Youzheng, the deputy chief of the Army. He is also the Secretary-General of the State Council. Do you think you are going to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the Ministry of Finance?" Duan Qirui did not hide his appreciation for Wang Geng!
"Prime Minister, I am willing to train an elite army for you and the country! If China participates in the war, I want to take advantage of the opportunity of China's participation in the war to raise loans and arms from the great powers and train a direct army! In this way, whether it is going to Europe to participate directly in the war or in Jingbian in China, it will be of great use!"
Wang Geng looked at Duan Qirui without blinking, thinking that I had almost said everything I should say. Not having military power at this age is like a boy who gives money. Whether it is diplomacy or finance, he is the one who makes wedding dresses for others!
"Well... Youzheng has already started planning the matter of compiling the new army. In January, he borrowed a sum of money from the Japanese. However, Youzheng had too many things to do, so he couldn't get busy with the compiling matters!"
Duan Qirui was a little hesitant. Although Wang Geng was a talented person, he was as arrogant as Xu Shuzheng. He was all over his nostrils and had no other person in his eyes. If he could become his right-hand man, of course he would be undesirable. However, when Wang Geng came at the beginning, he also said that he would rather be the head of a chicken than a queen of a cow. This matter is really difficult to arrange. You can't hand over the Army Department to Wang Geng to mess around, right?
"Prime Minister, actually, the position is not a problem for me. My ambition is to assist the Prime Minister in establishing a strong military and sweeping all sides. There is no need for a false reputation of the general and secondary. If you can use people without doubt, I will not even be a member of the Prime Minister's State Policy Advisor or a private diplomatic secretary. But since I graduated from West Point Military Academy, I have achieved success in my studies but left the army without my wish!"
"I thought about the matter of organizing and training the war army. You are indeed a better candidate. Youzheng alone wants to take charge of the Ministry of Army and the State Council for me, and he wants to convene the army and the great powers. He is too busy at all! However, the matter of participating in the war has not been finalized yet, and I want you to give advice by my side, so what should I do?"
Duan Qirui was obviously in a bit embarrassed, and wanted to release Wang Geng out to train troops. After all, he was a top student who graduated from West Point Military Academy and was thinking about a big deal here. When Wang Geng said nothing, he slapped his head and was just an idea.
The Prime Minister is now quite a bit as fresh as Liu Bei had just gained Zhuge Liang, and he wished he could meet Wang Geng to discuss things every now, just like Xu Shuzheng felt when he first came to his shogunate.
"Prime Minister, I got off the train and carried my luggage straight to your residence. I don't have a home in Beijing. I am planning to eat and live with you! I can't drive me away!" Wang Geng actually joked with Duan Qirui.
"Well, I think so too. My Duan Mansion is big, and there are places where you live, but you can't train a new army for me in Cangnan Hutong, right?" Duan Qirui smiled by Wang Geng, and was still thinking about how to achieve both sides!
"Although the training is urgent, this is not urgent for a while. After announcing the war, Prime Minister, I am not boasting that I am much better than those half-baked secretaries and translators of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It is no problem to be an advisor to national policy and diplomatic secretary!"
Wang Geng thought to himself that the position of the emperor's close minister cannot be easily given up. At this time of danger, I wouldn't be by your side and see a little ghost knowing which ditch you were taken to by Xu Shuzheng.
"Don't forget that you are a soldier first! In this way, since you are a top student at West Point Military Academy, then first entrust you as a colonel of the Army Department~~No, how about the Major General of the Army Department?" Duan Qirui gave the answer. The Prime Minister felt a little excited. With the arrogance of the boy in front of him, if he only gave him a colonel, he would probably have to force him to Feng Guozhang, so he changed his words to major general.
Just give me a colonel? After Wang Geng, who was in his previous life, he became a colonel in the Army Department. As soon as I traveled thousands of miles, you sent a colonel to him? There was no door! You are not that stingy, but even a major general? Mao, who has no soldiers, was not a major general. Wang Geng complained in his heart, but said, "Is this major general in the Army Department only a false title?"
"I am the chief of the Army. In fact, the department is in charge of the deputy chief Xu Youzheng. The General Affairs Department is under the jurisdiction of the General Affairs Department and eight departments. If you want to ask you to choose, you are not willing to do it under Youzheng, so you are the major general who will be a senatorial position in the Army Department. Do you want to jump from a graduate to the position of the chief of the chief of the deputy chief?"
Duan Qirui narrowed his eyes and looked at Wang Geng, loving and hating in his heart. I wonder if he accepted this guy who was more bold than Xu Youzheng today and was a little unruly. Is it right or wrong that he can really control him in the future?
"Major general is a major general, Premier Duan, I suggest that you entrust me to supervise the military or supervise yourself, and I will act as a co-organizer. Let's set up the airs first to perform!
Anyway, the army participating in the war has not yet appeared, so this position can be big or small. If you are a major general, you can at least serve as a brigade commander of a mixed brigade, right? Or the commander of the Gyeonggi Garrison Command?"
Chapter completed!
