Tieliang brought people in, instantly turning the originally warm atmosphere of the meeting into freezing point.

"Ah, we're all here today!" Tieliang had already entered the door, his face was similar to the bottom of the black pot, and he spoke with a gun and a stick. "It's better for us, Mr. Yuan, to do it. We Lord Ronglu, do not have the prestige of you in the new army."

Yuan Shikai was annoyed when he saw Tie Liang, but the two of them were officials in the same dynasty, and it was not the time to break up. However, as the aide of Old Yuan, Xu Shichang could not let Old Yuan suffer a loss at this time, so he said, "Mr. Yuan is the assistant to the training of the new army, and the training of the new army is under the responsibility of Lord Yuan. This is not only the meaning of the Empress Dowager, but also the personal agreement of Lord Ronglu. Therefore, Lord Yuan is the leader of the new army. It is reasonable to hold a meeting today, and the generals gather together... Lord Tieliang, is there any objection to the arrangements of Lord. Lao Fu and Lord Ronglu?"

Tieliang glared at Xu Shichang and said nothing. Because Old Xu was a genuine imperial examination and had a strong and honest family, Tieliang dwarf family was a part of this. Although Tieliang is quite talented among the Manchus, he has achieved his official position step by step. But after all, he was able to win the position of Ronglu and gain his current status. He did not participate in the imperial examination, which was not justified.

However, Xu Shichang obviously did not let Tie Liang go, and continued, "As for Lord Ronglu's prestige in the army..." Xu Shichang smiled slightly and said, "The respect for Lord Ronglu is in my heart, not with my mouth. Those who keep Lord Ronglu in my mouth may not have no other thoughts in my heart. This is the Dingwu Army, who will the fox pretend to be powerful and scare the tiger!"

Tie Liang and the crowded officers behind him were so angry that they were so angry that they had no choice but to swallow their anger.

Yuan Shikai just sat there and smiled, and then said, "Lord Tieliang, please sit down!"

The uninvited guests came halfway through the meeting, and the atmosphere of the meeting was like the direction of the Hongmen Banquet. Yuan Shikai no longer discussed the construction of the Fourth Town. On the contrary, Tieliang no longer asked to discuss the issue of increasing military expenditure to the First Town, which was now considered a hornet's nest.

Among the new army, the first town is the trump card, with the largest number of people and good equipment, so since the establishment of the new army, most of the military expenditure has been spent on the first town. Although the Qing Dynasty is still a country, not to mention the Northeast Autonomous Region, other provinces are also in a semi-autonomous state. Although there are taxes to be paid, in fact, they are not enough to make ends meet. The expenses of the support of a group of Eight Banners children who were idle were enough to torture the ministers of the Ministry of Revenue to seek death. However, it can be seen from this that the Qing court resolutely established a new army under such an urgent financial situation, which was very wary of the Northeast.

The reason why Yuan Shikai agreed to Tieliang as the first official in the first town was that before the new army, Tieliang was sent to local provinces by Ronglu to pay the stranded taxes. Most of these taxes have now become the military expenditure of the new army. Although it seems nothing big, for the new army, this is a great achievement.

Rewards for merit and punishment. Tieliang gave the new army such great benefits. Ronglu pushed him to the front desk at this time. Even if Yuan Shikai was reluctant, he could only cut off his teeth and swallow them into his stomach, causing him to suffer a loss.

"The first town needs to increase military expenditure?"

The officers around them started to talk. They were jealous when they saw the First Town. The military expenditure allocated by the Qing court was 65% the first town. The military expenditure of the other two towns was less than 20%, because the new army had other projects that required money. Now the First Town still had to increase military expenditure, so will the other two towns still survive?

"The official disagrees!" Wang Shizhen stood up first. He was the first to command the first town, but now he is the second town. His life is similar to that of the original beggar.

After the second town said that the third town, which had a poor life with coptis chinensis, could not be regarded as a turtle. Feng Guozhang also said: "Our third town also does not agree!"

Yuan Shikai was not so impulsive, and a smile appeared on his face and said, "Mayor Tieliang, it's not impossible for you to ask for money. Can you ask where you are going to use this money?"

Tieliang stared at Wang Shizhen and Feng Guozhang, and then said to Yuan Shikai: "A few days ago, I sent someone to sort out the intelligence of the Eastern Russia War. Speaking of Northeast China's victory, in addition to the soldiers' lives, the most important thing is that the Northeast's artillery strength is far superior to the Russian side. Their system is different from our new army. The number of people in one of our towns is equivalent to one of their reorganized divisions, but in terms of firepower configuration... Hehe, although we are known as the elite of the empire, we can compare with others, one in the sky and one underground. I don't want much now. I hope to expand the original artillery team to 3,000 people, and purchase twelve German Clauber's 75mm artillery, six 120mm artillery, and shells..."

Tieliang knew that in theory, the Northeast was so close, purchasing their artillery was the most economical method, and their artillery had also been tested in practice. However, the Qing court's defense of the Northeast made the procurement case impossible at all, so Germany, which had a lot of military-industrial technology exchanges with the Northeast, naturally became the first choice.

Tieliang's idea was very simple when he proposed to increase the military expenditure of the first town this time. Yu Gong said that since he trained a new army, it would naturally be to build a town, train a town, and become a town. Otherwise, even if all the six towns in Beiyang were established, they would be all a bucket of money. What is the point of establishing it? As a Manchu, his achievements would have an immeasurable effect on boosting the morale of the Qing court. The Han people had been playing the leading role in the Qing court in this era for too long! Tieliang even believed that if he operated well, then the dynasty of his own nation would complete a seemingly impossible redemption.

As for the private side, with the above achievements, how much political capital would it be, this person provides a strong guarantee for his future promotion.

Is Tieliang for public and private purposes? No one cares about it. The people present are all the same. You and his grandmother don’t spit out their dogs and pee, and they look so big. They have twelve 75mm cannons, six 120mm cannons, or German goods, and they are not afraid of the wind and swelling their tongues.

"As far as we know below, there are so-called artillery divisions in the Northeast Army Division. Could it be that Lord Tieliang wants to establish a Northeast artillery division-like organization?" Yuan Shikai asked at this time, but he did not directly deny Tieliang's idea.

"good……"

"Do you know that I once advised Lord Ronglu and Lord Li Hongzhang to take the Northeast as a model and use its military discipline as a guideline to establish a new army. Can Lord Tieliang know what the result is?"

When Tieliang heard this, his face immediately sank! The two adults rejected it directly!

"Of course, Lord Tieliang is dedicated to serving the country. We naturally know that, but we are arbitrarily changing the military system. I wonder if there is an imperial edict?"

Tieliang stared at Yuan Shikai, and his eyes almost burst into flames. However, although Yuan Shikai was talking about official accent, he was also right. Finally, Tieliang had no choice but to get up and yelled, and said to his subordinates, "Go!"
