Sometimes, Song Biao is not a person who keeps his word in a strict sense.

Duan Qirui initially agreed on conditions with Song Biao, thinking that he could continue to control the Beiyang Army. This surprised him at that time. He soon discovered that everything was a scam. The fact is that with his help, the Beiyang Army was

It was completely torn apart and reorganized into four new infantry divisions. There was nothing he was familiar with, and even his military uniform was changed.

Of course, the Northeast Army's uniforms are very beautiful, and they are definitely more decent than the Beiyang Army and the Manqing Fresh Army.

Song Biao is a person who is very good at taking advantage of the opportunity. Taking advantage of the plummeting price of domestic textiles in the past two years, he hoarded a large number of military uniforms in the military supplies, which was enough to quickly change all the new troops in the twenty towns.

The military uniforms of the Northeast Army have been adjusted and replaced many times. Currently, the army's winter clothes are gray-blue, while the spring, summer and autumn clothes are light brown-green, and the winter clothes are woolen materials. The military caps have changed from French cylinder hats to large-brimmed hats.

The helmet is based on the German helmet, with three-shot pattern and wheat ear pattern. The winter military caps include fur cylinder caps and black double-eared dog lint caps.

Soldiers of each army do not gait their leggings, but use unified lace-up leggings.

The officer uniforms tend to be dark in color, with dark brown and dark brown green depending on the season. The army generals have navy blue dresses, and the navy generals have blue and black military dresses.

After changing into more majestic military uniforms, the fourth town under Duan Qirui was transferred away and joined the 20th town to participate in the military operation to suppress Sichuan. At this time, the army number of the new army of these three towns was the 14th.

And the 20th Infantry Division. The main force that attacked Sichuan this time was the Third Reorganized Infantry Division.

These four divisions, together with the newly formed Fourth Artillery Brigade, are temporarily organized into the Seventh Army of the Chinese Revolutionary Army. Liu Gengyun is temporarily appointed as the supervisor.

It’s not that Song Biao has considered Chen Wu. The problem is that Chen Wu’s character is very strange. There is no problem in fighting and charging ahead. In order to command the overall situation, you must consider the character and coordination ability of the general, while Liu Gengyun’s coordination ability is impeccable.

It is also one of the few teachers who can get along with Chen Wu.

Generally speaking, Song Biao will not deliberately train a general to be a marshal. The more special ones are Zhao Tingzhu and Jiang Yanxing. If there are multiple troops to command, Song Biao will usually choose them. Especially

They are basically responsible for the large-scale bandit suppression movement.

Liu Gengyun must have no such experience and experience, and Song Biao is also worried, but he cannot let Jiang Yanxing go, because Jiang Yanxing is the governor of the 10th Army and is now responsible for guarding the entire Zhili and Jinghan Railway, and at the same time, he also needs to guard the section.

The situation on Qirui.

During this period, Song Biao also considered going to Sichuan in person because the problems in Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou are very complicated, including Sichuan Army and Sichuan Army. As we all know, it is a place where small warlords are everywhere, and there are all kinds of miscellaneous teams.

After signing the military order, Liu Gengyun led the Seventh Army into Sichuan. Zhu Qinglan, the commander of the Seventh Town, took the heavy responsibility to lead the army to resist in Jiange County, trying to rely on the traditional mountain pass to resist the Seventh Army. As a result, Zhu Qinglan, the military outer man, lost himself first

In order to control the army, Cheng Qian, the staff officer of the 17th Town, firmly disagreed with the new army's surrender to the Seventh Army because he was a member of the Tongmenghui, which triggered a riot among the lower-level non-commissioned officers. The two hurriedly fled the military camp.

In this way, the Seventh Army entered Sichuan without a single shot. Zhou Daogang, who appointed the Restoration Association, served as the commander of the New Army of the 17th Town, and was reorganized on the spot into the 17th Infantry Division of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, and attacked Chengdu as the front.

At this time, there were two new troops in Sichuan, namely the 17th Town and the 33th Mixed Association. This association was Zhong Ying, a man from Zhenghuang Banner.

The Manchus are now at this point. Although Zhong Ying takes revenge, he dare not work hard with the Northeast Army. He hastily resigned. Once he leaves, the 33rd Mixed Association will be in chaos and will not fight with the 17th Town.

He announced his resignation to the Revolutionary Army, and Zhao Erfeng left Sichuan overnight and ran to Yunnan to join his younger brother Zhao Erxun.

To talk about Zhao Erxun and Song Biao, the Northeast Army's hatred was very profound and could basically write a legend in the late Qing Dynasty, but he could not stop the Northeast Army's attack. Before Zhao Erfeng arrived in Kunming, he also announced his resignation from Yunnan.

Governor of Guizhou Autonomous Government.

If these two people step down, it does not mean that the situation in the southwest will be completely clear. On the contrary, they will only expose greater internal problems as soon as they leave.

Liu Gengyun, Chen Wu and others were confused at this time, and there was no problem in fighting. The 17th Town, the 19th Town, the 33rd Mixed Association, the Guizhou Mixed Association, and the Yunnan Mixed Association were also troops of 45,000 people.

How to reorganize them? They can only generate electricity to the central government to inquire about countermeasures.

As for the various small local armed forces in Yunnan, Sichuan, Guizhou and Chongqing, Liu Gengyun didn't know what to do.

After receiving dozens of telegrams sent by Liu Gengyun, Song Biao felt that he was also full of holes and chaos, and didn't know how to deal with these problems. In the end, he decided to go to Sichuan in person.

If Sichuan’s problems cannot be solved well, if they continue to be chaotic, Yunnan and Guizhou will also continue to be chaotic. Song Biao decided to go there in person to fundamentally kill the warlord separatist problem in Yunnan and Guizhou, Sichuan.

In mid-December 1910, Song Biao arrived in Wuchang by train, and then took Yuqiaqing's Hong'an Shipping Company's merchant ship to Chongqing. The Yangtze River Fleet sent two small warships to accompany him.

After all, Song Biao was the emperor of the Chinese Empire. How could the emperor travel?

Because he attached great importance to safety, Yu Qiaqing personally inspected the route in advance and selected the best new passenger ship in the company. The Yangtze River Fleet also sent two patrol ships in the best condition as escorts.

Unfortunately, Yu Qiaqing's passenger ship and patrol ship were made in Japan. Song Biao only learned about this after getting on the ship. He felt a sense of humiliation that was indescribable, but he was not in a hurry to express it because of this pain.

Maybe it's just him who has it, but others can't understand it.

The passenger ship slowly sailed out from Hanyang Port, and the two warships whistled in front of them one thousand and one thousand. In case of precautions, Yu Qiaqing and Jardine Mailing Company rented two cargo ships to sail behind them, and prepared more than ten sailors.

If the team and the rubber boats hit the reef, at least they have a way to protect the emperor from leaving safely.

The Secret Service and the Yangtze River Fleet have also prepared a lot. Although the probability of passenger ships hitting the reefs in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River is very small, there have been such examples in the past two years.

After the passenger ship officially set sail, Song Biao inspected the ship everywhere in the name of visiting, estimating the level of Japan's shipbuilding industry. In many relatively corners, the treatment of Japanese shipyards seemed rougher, while the laying of wooden boards on the ship was more refined

, so that it looks very high-end and the wood is very particular.

It was only after actually going to the cabin, there were also the wheel cabin and the boiler cabin that saw it. Song Biao was able to understand what it means to get what you pay for. It is undeniable that the traditional Japanese technicians are still very advanced.

The processing and processing of deck wood is very good.

Such a level of craftsmanship is not difficult for old Chinese carpenters.

Song Biao visited around and had a lot of thoughts in his heart. Yu Qiaqing was not sure about it, but he just stayed with Song Biao and explained a few words from time to time.

Walking out of the boiler cabin, Song Biaocai and Yu Qiaqing asked: "How much does it cost to buy this ship from Japan?"

Yu Qiaqing said: "Reporting to the emperor, the purchase price of this ship is 200,000 Kanto silver dollars, which is relatively high because the double-expansion steam engines they use are all imported from the United States, and they actually earn a piece of wood and handicraft fee."

Song Biao thought about it and reminded: "Steel, pig iron, boiler, pipeline and hardware are all Japanese goods, so where is it just a handicraft fee? Boss Yu. There are so many waterways in China, so small freighters and passenger ships need quantity.

How many are there? If they are imported from Japan, how much silver do we have to pay? You are also a big industrialist who runs the industry, why don’t you find a way to build a Chinese shipyard?”

Yu Qiaqing sighed: "The emperor, Caomin also has a deep sense of the same. He is not proficient in this matter and dare not act rashly. Now that the emperor has the golden words, Caomin should handle it with all his strength, even if he loses everything, he will do it!"

Song Biao looked at Yu Qiaqing and smiled wickedly, saying, "I said we are always in love, you are still trying to mess with me, right? Who runs a factory not to make money? As long as you can do it well, how can you not make a profit? It's so big

Even if there are shipyards in various provinces in China, they can basically support these factories. Don’t let the people go, what era is it? You think I, the emperor, are a man of mankind. Buddha said that all living beings are equal, the era of the empire,

Everyone is equal before the law. I am the emperor, and you are not a sage. Those who do things for me claim to be a humble minister, and those who are humble are all justified. You don’t eat public grain and official salary, you are a big taxpayer, I wait

Parents who are fed and clothed."

After saying this, he also asked Shu Fangde, the Minister of the Army Department, next to him: "Secretary Shu, do you think this is the reason?"

Shu Fangde also laughed out loud and said, "The Emperor is wise."

Yu Qiaqing panicked at this moment. The old saying goes, "Parenting the king is like accompanying the tiger." He really can't explain what the emperor means. He remembers that the emperor's parents and brothers all died in the Japanese Lushun Massacre. He bought a Japanese ship to carry the saint.

If you are a man, that is the crime of deceiving the king.

Thinking of this, Yu Qiaqing suddenly became frightened. He really didn't have such intentions. He hurriedly knelt on the deck and blamed himself: "The Lord, the people should die for thousands of crimes. He has committed a serious crime of deceiving the king. I hope the Lord will remember the people.

It is definitely not intentional, to forgive the people for their death penalty."

Song Biao felt a headache, and he finally understood why Tongmeng would stop him from becoming the emperor.

There is another emperor in China here, and it seems that it is difficult for the people to understand what the concept of true equality for everyone is.

Song Biao could only shake his head and sighed, asking Shu Fangde to pull Yu Qiaqing up. At this time, there were many people on the deck, including sailors, foreign technicians, navigators, wheel captains, and secret service agencies.

People, Wang Yongjiang, Yuan Jinkai, Chen Qicai, Chen Qimei...a lot of people are here.

Everyone was not sure why Yu Qiaqing was so frightened.

Song Biao's understanding of the emperor's thing is quite one-sided, because he does not have much inertia of this era, and others stand here, thinking that he is His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire, his heart is full of mystery.

Feelings of fear.

This is completely different from the British's attitude towards the queen, and even different from the Russians' attitude towards the Tsar and the Japanese to the Emperor.

Because they couldn't figure out what was going on, everyone thought Song Biao was angry, and everyone suddenly became very worried, which made the atmosphere on the deck of the entire ship extremely tense. People at Hongchang Shipping Company hurriedly knelt down together, and

Yuan Jinkai and others also lowered their heads and kept silent, thinking in their hearts.

Shu Fangde finally pulled Yu Qiaqing up. Yu Qiaqing was still very scared until this time.

He said the crime of deceiving the king.

Song Biao basically understood what he was afraid of, and saying something else might be meaningless. Song Biao made a generous attitude and said to Yu Qiaqing: "I don't feel it very well. I even got it from Japan.

People feel humiliating, but I know you definitely didn't do it on purpose, and things have been like this. I really don't mean to blame you. Don't worry, if you continue to worry like this, everyone will be very nervous. It's true.

There is no need. As for you, a Chinese emperor, who has to take a Japanese small freighter when he goes to Sichuan for inspection, it must be awkward, but it is better than taking Japanese ships from Japanese and British companies. The national ethnic group

The shipbuilding industry and shipping industry are almost blank. It is not easy to achieve some results, so I not only do not want to blame you, but also want to continue to support you and strive to do more industrial majors that benefit the country, the people and the self-interest."

After hearing these words, Yu Qiaqing felt relieved and was very moved, feeling that she was indeed a little overreacting just now.

This is normal, after all, the emperor has been the biggest weapon of killing in China since ancient times.

This small change made Song Biao feel a lot of emotion, so he asked Yuan Jinkai, the director of the secretary-general, to deal with the matter, and all the sailors kneeling on the ground stood up. There was no need to be so nervous, and he returned to his cabin first.

He only now knows that the emperor is better off going out less, it is quite scary.

After waiting for a while, Shu Fangde called Yu Qiaqing over again and talked about something alone in the cabin, so that Yu Qiaqing would be shocked and frightened others.

At this time, Yu Qiaqing was frightened and his heart was still beating. The old heart was almost frightened. At this moment, he could only try his best to pretend to be calm. He thanked Song Biao for his pardon again before sitting down.

, he took the teacup from Shu Fangde's hand, and couldn't help but take a big sip.

Song Biao smoked a cigarette in depressed mood.

Since he became emperor, he has basically dealt with the subordinates whom he was most familiar with in the past. Everyone is more cautious about him, more awesome and more etiquette than before. The title has changed. In addition, he really has also

I didn't find anything that was too difficult to adapt to.
