Chapter 62: The Turnaround Appears
Chapter 62 Turning around
Wang Maoru thought for a while, nodded and said, "If you have a gun, I can see that it is basically satisfied, but there is no problem with the bullet." Pu Ji still doesn't know that Wang Maoru has a small arsenal in the United States, and he thought the gun was really an American, and he made a matchmaker to rush the arms. That night, Wang Maoru quickly telegraphed Fang Hongxin from the United States, and Fang Hongxin called back and said that there are 30,000 e1 rifles and 5 million bullets in the warehouse. If the production efforts are increased, another three million bullets can be produced in a month. Wang Maoru asked him to temporarily invest the funds in bullet production, slow down rifle production, and ship the goods immediately.
After getting such a large order, Wang Maoru was very happy and took a few confidants to the Beijing Liuguo Hotel for a drink. He also specially ordered Yangma to try it out for his subordinates.
However, what made Wang Maoru most happy was the news brought by Niu Delu of the Army Department. The Army Department had approved Wang Maoru's application to allow him to guard the border and had already booked a location. It was a triangle area where Heilongjiang and Mongolia and Russia crossed, and now the Hulunbuir region managed by Russia.
The Hulunbuir Autonomous Government signed a contract with the Russians without authorization, which made the Beijing government very dissatisfied, and it also hosted the rebels Babudhabu and gathered nearly 10,000 people. Some Hulunbuir border troops joined the rebels, and some border troops were driven out of Hulunbuir. In a word, Hulunbuir has been separated from the central government and with the support of the Russians, another foreign government is very likely to appear. Wang Maoru was very happy to receive this news. This task seems dangerous, but wealth and honor are in danger. If he is really photographed with something good, he may be annexed by the Beiyang bosses within a few days.
A few days later, the eldest son of Yuan suffered a disaster at the home of his beloved concubine whom he raised outside. Wang Maoru spent 500 oceans to help the beloved concubine's family settle in Beijing, and gave him another 2,000 oceans to live. Yuan Keding thought that Wang Maoru was a kind-hearted person. He heard that he wanted to lead troops and wanted to go to Hulunbuir. He frowned and said that this place was extremely dangerous, so it would be better to go to Shandong to make money.
In this four battles in Shandong, various warlords and states have intertwined forces. If Wang Maoru was accidentally ruined, he would not even retreat. Moreover, Wang Maoru just wanted to be a small warlord, not want to make money. If he wanted to make money, he would be the richest in the country. Wang Maoru said without thinking, "What is our identity? You can do whatever you need from Master Yuan. Although Hulunbuir is dangerous, it is not a place that cannot be visited. At this time, the country needs me, not when I care about the country."
In order to take advantage of the unstable northern borders to obtain territory, Wang Maoru once again invited Beiyang think tank Yang Du to help out his ideas. Yang Du said, "This matter is too urgent, and the Army Department is suppressing it because of Duan Qirui." Wang Maoru knew that Yang Du always didn't like Duan Qirui, and Duan Qirui also didn't like Yuan Shikai's think tank Yang Du. The two could cooperate when Yuan Shikai became a little popular, but after a high position and power, they became mortal enemies. Yang Du has always praised the emperor's mind skills. Duan Qirui is a light person and advocates the republic, so he regards Yang Du as a major concern for the country. Yang Du is cunning, and Wang Maoru doesn't like to contact him very much, but Yang Du, as one of Yuan Shikai's confidants, has to ask for it.
After several consultations, Xu Shuzheng shirked the responsibility of the Army Department and was studying the decision, which also made Wang Maoru feel angry. It would be fine if he suffered a loss, but he has not yet made any compensation.
Yuan Keding and others privately recommended Wang Maoru to Hulunbuir to replace the original escort and guard the border. In addition, Yang Du also privately mentioned to Yuan Shikai that the Army Department was too powerful, and Duan Qirui, the chief of the Army who had just returned to Beijing, could not tolerate others, and he opposed the reform.
Yuan Shikai had a good impression of Wang Maoru. In recent years, this person has been in Beijing, and he has a clear and black and white. He has a great ambition and is also a staff member of Yuan Keding, so it is okay to go out for training. Especially in Hulunbuir, it is basically all Mongolian bandits and has long been under the jurisdiction of the Beijing government. Hulunbuir went to be a border army and thought that this person was not afraid of death for promotion, but it was okay to let him go wherever he was disturbed. Because of the Manchu area, Japanese and Russian forces were intertwined, and they were more useful than the Beijing government. Yuan Shikai had already thought of fighting for the right to return to Manchuria China. Yuan Shikai wanted Wang Maoru to be a bomb and bomb various old forces in Manchu, so that the Beiyang government could control the three provinces of Manchu well.
So he told the Army Minister Duan Qirui that Duan Qirui recalled that Duan Qirui made the first contribution when he wiped out Bai Lang, and he submitted a memorial to ask him to be promoted to another level, and was named Shangwu General by the Beiyang government. He just rashly became the commander of a brigade and was photographed before many Beiyang generals, and the generals below were probably dissatisfied.
Yuan Shikai said that this man made great contributions in the process of extermination of Bai Lang's rebels, and Hulunbuir had already left the central government's jurisdiction at this time, and the government had to send a team of troops to the army. This general of Shangwu was very good at suppressing bandits. Duan Qirui had just returned to Beijing to serve as the chief of the army, and was also determined to reconstruct the relationship with Yuan Shikai. So he said that he would consider it and make arrangements as much as possible to talk to Xu Shuzheng. Xu Shuzheng said that Wang Maoru could not make him wish, so he said that he would discuss the matter of Xu Shuzheng's reign. He was afraid that the representatives of the South would disagree.
Duan Qirui has just stepped down as the governor of Hubei and Henan. He wanted to do something and did not want to have too much trouble on Wang Maoru's issue. So he asked Xu Shuzheng to report to him carefully and tell Duan Qirui about everything about this person. He heard that he is quite wealthy and does not understand why he went to the border army to suffer, and the place he went to was the most dangerous Hulunbuir. Xu Shuzheng said seriously that this person was quite ambitious. The Army Department was already preparing to cut off his minions and disband his troops, so that he could rise and fall in secret, but after he made such a fuss, his troops had to be reused.
Then Duan Qirui used the relationship between the Army Department (Xu Shuzheng was Duan Qirui's spy chief, and Lu Jianzhang was Yuan Shikai's spy chief. These two people have always been incompatible. If you support me, I will object, and I will support me. So later, Lu Jianzhang was directly arrested and killed by Xu Shuzheng because of his support for the direct line) and checked Wang Maoru's archives. Pu Ji's second brother Pu Ding also made all his files in the Archives Management Office of the Army Department. He found out that he was wandering in Western countries when he was young, so he even found out that he was very strolling in Western countries.
He was a beggar, but after returning to China, he made money by selling stockings in the capital. Because he had close ties with the wives of the ministers from various countries, he first made a fortune in business. Later, he entered the army system because of his establishment of a flight team. Later, he entered the model group of the eldest son and also served in the Ministry of Transportation. He was familiar with the officials who supported the imperial system, especially Yan Fu's cultural bag. He mocked the eldest son Yuan Keding in his heart and believed in everyone. He was such a fool and looked down on Wang Maota.
Later, the Yuan Shikai government decided to send Bi Guifang and his group to negotiate with Russia on Outer Mongolia and Eastern Mongolia, and demanded that the Army Department provide momentum support.
Duan Qirui naturally understood that it was imperative to recommend Wang Maoru to go to the extreme north to guard the border, and the Mongolian issue was still negotiating at this time. If he pulled his back, he would become a traitor. Moreover, Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng were both hardliners among the top people, and knew that Hulunbuir might be occupied by those rebels who were making trouble. It would be okay to send Wang Maoru to go. He was a man who didn't know the depth and thought that he had money to become an official, so he was arrogant and could go. He would die there.
So Duan Qirui told Xu Shuzheng that if this person had to leave, he sent him to Hulunbuir and never returned to Beijing. Xu Shuzheng thought about it, as long as he was in the central government, the ambitious Wang Maoru would not want to return to the central government. So he said that this person would be a scapegoat, and there were countless Russians, horse bandits, and rebels in Hulunbuir. If Wang Maoru was a dragon, he would stabilize the north for the government, but it seemed that Wang Maoru must be trapped at the hands of Mongolia, Russia and Japanese bandits.
