Back to the Republic of China as a commander

The anxious Huang Xing naturally had no way to calm down: "Mr. Ye, I heard from Wen Zheng that you have dabbled in the arms business?"

Ye Zuwen chuckled: "A small businessman like Ye dares to do such a terrible business. It's just that he has been in this shopping mall for a long time, and there are a few friends who dare to play this. Ye is usually Help lead a line, build a bridge, and many, I dare not ask or think about it!"

Huang Xing let out a groan and asked again: "I wonder if Mr. Ye can help Mr. Huang also draw a line and build a bridge. Of course, Mr. Ye will not let Mr. Ye's hard work be in vain."

Ye Zuwen: "Huang Liushou thinks highly of me, and it is my honor to run errands for you. I just don't know what Huang Liushou needs Ye to do?"

Huang Xing hesitated for a long time, and said the plan that he, Li Shucheng, and Wang Zhenyu combined last night: "To tell you the truth, I have nearly 30 army equipment to deal with here. Among them, there are mountain artillery and heavy machine guns, but What Huang can handle is only made in Hanyang, and the quantity is about 15. Any more will exceed Huang’s authority. As for the price, I hope it will not be lower than the market price. What do you think, Mr. Ye?”

"So many, hiss." Ye Zuwen pretended to be surprised, "Huang Liushou, this is a lot of money. Even if my friend can eat it, it may not be able to finish the goods so quickly. The pressure on the funds is great." , you have to allow Ye to discuss with your friends."

Huang Xing also felt reasonable: "Mr. Ye, there is no rush, but please keep your mouth shut for such a big matter!"

Ye Zuwen smiled slightly: "Naturally, Ye is a businessman, so he understands the rules."

. . . . . .

Ye Zuwen and his son stayed at Wang Zhenyu's brigade that night.

"General Wang, I have already contacted the Zongshe Party. They are very interested, but the location of the delivery is required to be in Lushun. The price is very reasonable, 80 yuan a piece, a total of 15 pieces. The payment is Pay half when the goods arrive in Shanghai, and pay the other half when they arrive in Lushun." Ye Zuwen told Wang Zhenyu softly, and after careful calculation, it was a total of 200 million.Right now, the Socialist Party can take out so much money at one time, and the delivery can be so generous and straightforward.Of course, the quantity of goods in Boss Ye's hands is too large. This is the total output of the Hanyang Arsenal for more than ten years. These princes who are determined to restore the Qing Dynasty cannot help but not be tempted and not bleed.Compared with the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains of our ancestors, what is a mere 1000 million taels of silver?As long as the great cause of restoration can be achieved, there will be as much money as you want! (I'll figure it out now, why did I go so early?)

Wang Zhenyu asked in a low voice, "Where is that person now?"

Ye Zuwen: "In Shanghai, with Mr. Du, safety should be no problem. But General Wang, you are sure that we will not keep any of them. Such a large batch of munitions will be needed for you to expand your team in the future."

Wang Zhenyu waved his hand and said: "Mr. Ye, you don't know something. Don't look at the fact that Nanjing's civilian army claims to be 30. Almost one of the four people is unarmed. For the remaining two 10,000+ guns, good quality is also given priority. Commander Huang assigned it to the Jiangxi side, or stayed to form a reliable army for himself."

Ye Zuwen's mind turned quickly: "Then look at the meaning, between the north and the south..."

Wang Zhenyu nodded: "This is just the beginning. The battle has to continue. It will be a matter of time."

Ye Zuwen thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Then what is your plan, General Wang?"

Wang Zhenyu chuckled: "As soon as the matter here is over, I will go back to Hunan, occupy a territory first, and wait and see the current situation."

Ye Zuwen nodded after listening: "Where is Huang staying, what is the price?"

Wang Zhenyu stood up and said, "It's okay, just give it at the market price. He gave me a grace, and it's okay if I give it back. It's an agreement. The payment of 600 million must be delivered in Shanghai. It's not peaceful here in Nanjing."

Ye Zuwen reached an agreement with Huang Xing the next day, 300 rifles, each priced at 300 yuan, totaling [-] million.From a poor person to a huge sum of [-] million yuan, how could Huang Xing hold Ye Zuwen's hand excitedly and said: "Mr. Ye, Huang has bumped into a wall in Jiangsu and Zhejiang for several months in a row. Only now do I know that it is you, Mr. Ye." You are the most supportive of the revolution, and you have really helped us a lot."

Wang Zhenyu was stunned, and he guessed maliciously, if Huang Da, who had dedicated his life to fighting Manchuria, knew that the arms had finally been sold to the Tartars, what expression would he have?

Ye Zuwen then bid farewell to Wang Zhenyu and went to Shanghai. After the transaction was completed, he would not return to Nanjing, but went directly to Wuhan by boat.Before leaving, Ye Guoxuan, who behaved very well, suddenly leaned on Wang Zhenyu's arm, then stuffed a letter into Wang Zhenyu's hand, and said with a slightly embarrassed smile: "My sister is stubborn, I hope General Wang will not care about it."

Although Wang Zhenyu and Ye Guoxuan hadn't exchanged a few words, they had a good impression of him, so they naturally nodded and smiled, and stuffed the letter into their trouser pockets.

After Ye Zuwen and others boarded the train, Wang Zhenyu tore open the seal.There was only a piece of paper inside, and ten words were written on it: "Big villain, remember what I said that day."

Wang Zhenyu was immediately happy, and that eccentric little girl also appeared in his mind.Maybe this girl is really good, Wang Zhenyu thought suddenly.As soon as this idea came out, he gave himself a big jump. He nervously looked at Zhao Dongsheng and Ma Xicheng behind him. Seeing that they were still some distance away from him, he felt relieved and accepted the ten-character letter. alright.

Zhao Dongsheng and Ma Xicheng who were following behind exchanged glances, they didn't know why the brigade commander suddenly laughed.

With such a large amount of arms to be sent to Shanghai, Huang Xing couldn't find any reliable manpower for a while, so he naturally handed over the heavy responsibility to Wang Zhenyu who came up with the idea.Wang Zhenyu didn't shirk it either, anyway, he had done it once, so he was familiar with it.The Ninth Brigade temporarily took over the defense of the entire Xiaguan Wharf with the order of the Left Behind House.

In Shanghai, Du Yuesheng's ability to handle affairs is really strong, in order to avoid accidents in the transaction.Du Yuesheng first reported to his master Huang Jinrong and promised a benefit fee of up to 50 yuan.Then, in the name of Huang Jinrong, he greeted all the major forces on the ground in Shanghai.Because Huang Jinrong, the biggest gangster in Shanghai, got involved, and Ye Zuwen visited Mr. Yu Qiaqing and Mr. Yu again.Anyone with any influence in Shanghai now knows that this deal cannot be touched.These days, no matter how much money you want to make, you have to make sure you have life.

According to the agreement, Ye Zuwen naturally paid Huang Xing 150 million oceans first, and as soon as Huang Xing received the money, he immediately mobilized his direct troops to surround the various ministries, disarmed them and forcibly dismissed them.

Among them, Wang Zhixiang's Guangxi Army was the first to bear the brunt. Wang Zhixiang, who knew that he would not be spared, finally took [-] oceans from Wang Zhenyu, and handed over the entire engineering battalion under his command to Wang Zhenyu.Except for the resignation of the battalion commander himself, Wang Zhenyu remained unchanged, and he also paid back the salary owed. At the same time, Wang Zhenyu appointed Hu Lichun, the former company commander of the engineering battalion, as the major and battalion commander of the engineering battalion.

After successfully disposing of the Guangxi Army with the most complete organizational system, Huang Xing began to forcibly dismiss the other armies.The whole Nanjing suddenly became deserted, and Wang Zhenyu's opportunity came.With Huang Xing's acquiescence, he received men and equipment from the demobilized armies.The principle is also very clear. Soldiers over the age of 25 are not required, and officers who are above the company level are not required.Those with a literacy rate of over [-] will be admitted first, and once they are selected, they will be given three months of military salary as resettlement allowance.

As soon as the news came out, officers and soldiers of the civilian army who did not want to return to their hometowns to farm the land used Nanjing Army No. [-] Middle School one after another and asked to join the Ninth Brigade.The officer in charge of the recruitment said with a cheerful smile, okay, I will accept anyone who can write a hundred characters or carry that one-hundred-jin bag of rice around the playground. There was another burst of excitement.

In this way, the elite selected from the disbanded civilian army quickly filled the establishment of the three infantry regiments, and the business of tailor shops and shoe shops in Nanjing City also exploded. Each person had two sets of blue-gray new military uniforms plus Three sets of boxer briefs, two sets of vests, two sets of white shirts, and two pairs of cloth shoes.The officers of the Ninth Brigade's Quartermaster Department have been extremely busy during this period, working overtime to catch up with tasks, collecting sizes and placing orders, and running around almost without touching the ground.

The infantry regiment was formed according to the principle of the three-three system, so the original company was naturally upgraded and expanded into a battalion, and the original platoon was upgraded and expanded into a company. Tao Zhiyue and others were thus smoothly promoted to major and battalion commander. I was a major.The teaching team has a total of 96 students. Except for Yu Zuobai and other nine who stayed in the teaching team as instructors, the remaining 87 people were assigned to the newly formed infantry company (a total of '17), the spy company, and the reconnaissance company as platoon leaders.Song Haomin was only [-] years old and served as the captain of the teaching team, with the rank of captain temporarily.

In addition, Wang Zhenyu doesn't know what kind of mentality he has. For technical arms such as engineers and artillery, he adopts a system of admission. As long as the officers have professional knowledge, they will be retained in their original positions. Soon, a whole engineer battalion and a The brigade belongs to the artillery team (40 people, no cannon), and the ninth brigade suddenly expanded to more than 900 people, and because it was supplemented by elite veterans, its combat effectiveness did not decrease but increased.

The Left-behind Mansion turned a blind eye to this, and they themselves were doing the same thing. Isn't that how the Eighth Division and the Ninth Division were formed?Secondly, they really didn't have the money to repay the salaries owed by these demobilized soldiers, and it was their wish that someone could take the initiative to handle some of them for them;

The Nanjing side was so lively, and the Shanghai side didn't stop. As soon as they were forced to disperse, weapons and everything came out immediately.Huang Xing, Li Shucheng and others ordered that, except for the two newly formed divisions selected for equipment and sent to Li Liejun in Jiangxi, the rest should be sent to Xiaguan Wharf, which was taken over by the Ninth Brigade.Wang Zhenyu didn't say much, but asked Yang Wangui to lead the officers and soldiers of the Ninth Brigade to supervise the dock workers to load the ship immediately. On March 3, a total of 12 rifles of various types and some ammunition arrived in Shanghai on five 15-ton British freighters. I still didn’t forget to say to Ye Zuwen: “Mr. Ye, our lord has recorded your contribution, and the balance will be transferred to your account when the five shipments arrive at Lushunkou. The lord is also reputable. rest assured."

As for Du Yuesheng, who was in charge of the security of this transaction, although only 40 yuan was actually obtained in the end, with the huge reputation and popularity generated by the success of this transaction, Du Yuesheng is now really on the stage in Shanghai Bund.With money in hand, there will naturally be people under his hands, and someone will naturally have power. It is estimated that everyone will politely call Du Boss when they see Du Yuesheng in the future.

Thinking of this, Du Yuesheng in a good mood cupped his hands and said to Ye Zuwen: "Mr. Ye, please go back and tell my third brother that I will accept the 90 yuan without hesitation. The rest of the matter will be on my second brother. Are you serious?" When I see the money, I won’t let the British sell the goods, you can let him rest assured.”

Ye Zuwen also laughed, and said in return that he would definitely bring Boss Du's words.

In Beijing, Yuan Shikai vaguely learned that the Revolutionary Party sold guns here in exchange for money to demobilize the army.Although he was very dissatisfied with the Revolutionary Party's handling of such a large-scale arms, Yuan Guangtou himself was so devastated by the six-nation bank group that borrowed money from the aftermath, and the army under his command that they paid for it, that he had no time to look around.In addition, it is always good to be able to disband the opponent's army, at least it is beneficial to oneself, and one cannot demand perfection in everything.After thinking about this, Yuan Shikai not only didn't mention the munitions, but also sent a telegram to praise Huang Xing, but he was not a kind person, so he still ordered Zhao Bingjun and others to investigate the final whereabouts of the munitions.

Because Du Yuesheng was very tight-lipped, Zhao Bingjun only found out Ye Zuwen's level afterward, and failed to dig out Wang Zhenyu, a little fox.

On March 3, the final payment of 600 million was settled at HSBC.However, this weapon did not end up in the hands of the Socialist Party, which paid a lot of money.It is said that he was surrounded by Zhang Zuolin, the commander of the 27th Division of the Army stationed in Fengtian, just after being transported from Lushun.As for who leaked the news, many years later the history deciphered, it was precisely the Japanese who were relied on by the Zongsha Party as their backer, bad, really bad.

Therefore, Huang Xing, Wang Zhenyu, and Zhang Zuolin all benefited from this largest underground arms transaction in the first year of the Republic of China, but the Zongshe Party lost a lot.The princes who lost their money and got nothing but blamed each other could only sigh.

The first volume of Heroes of [-] is over. . .
