Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Everyone here understands that Sun Yuanqi only gave the position of "Deputy Chief of Staff and Acting Chief of Staff" instead of directly giving him the title of Chief. This is not because Sun Yuanqi is stingy with fame, but because the appointment of Chief of Staff falls within the scope of the President's powers. As the Prime Minister of the Cabinet,  You can't overstep your authority.  ¡ª¡ªOf course, with Sun Yuanqi's strong position in the military, politics, academia, and business circles, it is estimated that even if he reaches out to the presidential palace, Li Yuanhong will only be able to endure it.  Fortunately, looking at it now, Sun Yuanqi obviously doesn't want to be too public.

    When he heard that Sun Yuanqi intended to appoint him as the commander of the First Division of the Central Army, Cao Kun was immediately overjoyed.  As the saying goes, "A man cannot lose power for a day." Since he was captured and sent to Taiyuan, Cao Kun felt that his formerly straight waist had become slightly bent, and he wanted to nod and bow down when he saw everyone; his voice also lost its former loudness and became submissive and cautious.  .  If it weren't for Wang Shizhen's presence, he would have bowed his head and called him "Lord", but now he could only sit there reservedly, waiting eagerly for Wang Shizhen's decision.

    Wang Shizhen pondered: "Prime Minister Baek Hee thinks Japan will threaten Gyeonggi from Northeast China?"

    Sun Yuanqi said: "Japan's current national strength alone is not enough to swallow up the whole of China, so it just wants to invade Shandong and use plunder to relieve the huge pressure at home and abroad. If it can win in Shandong, it will naturally not  Think about it again; if it loses the battle in Shandong, or if it is difficult to obtain the expected results, Japan, which is facing huge debt pressure, will become a tiger. With its past all-or-nothing gambler character, it will definitely use the strength of the whole country to fight  I will fight. By then, the Northeast will be the best way for them to advance!"

    Wang Shizhen said with a half-smile: "So during this period, Baixi combined the Army's 2nd Division (stationed in Baoding), 4th Division (stationed in Tianjin), 10th Division (stationed in Beiyuan), and the 3rd Mixed Brigade (stationed in Beiyuan) near Gyeonggi Province.  Stationed in Nanyuan) and wait for the Beiyang departments to be transferred to the Northeast in batches?"

    Sun Yuanqi replied calmly: "That's exactly it. Some people may think that this is a revenge for private revenge and killing someone with a borrowed knife. But Sun has a clear conscience. Why do you say that? Because if the Japanese army really wants to start a war in Northeast China, it means that our New China Party is already in Shandong  A big battle. And we will not lose. Since our northwest provinces have taken the lead in bleeding and sacrificing for the country, there is no talk of avenging private revenge or killing someone with a borrowed knife!

    "Furthermore, this fierce battle between us and Japan is not only a battle of revenge and humiliation during the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War and the Gengzi Period, but also a battle for the fate of the great East Asian countries in the next hundred years! Faced with such a national war, everyone in the country must  They have a responsibility, not to mention that the Beiyang ministries are the national force. They have the responsibility to defend the territory, so why can't they go out to fight? Could it be that the Beiyang ministries are someone's private army to look after the home and the courtyard? Or is it that the Beiyang elite are as ruthless as wolves when they slaughter the people of the country?  When you meet a foreigner, you immediately become as scared as a rat?"

    Wang Shizhen shook his head and said: "This cannot be said! Japan must use sea ships to transport troops from the mainland to Shandong. With their transportation capacity, they can only transport two or three divisions in the short term. Prime Minister Baixi has many soldiers and generals.  With sufficient weapons and fine food, coupled with the support of new weapons such as aircraft and tanks, it is not difficult to win. But what about our Beiyang ministries? Since the death of the commander-in-chief, the generals have been waiting and watching. The morale of the soldiers is low, and the morale of the soldiers is low.  With insufficient weapons, food and pay, they are already at a disadvantage. The Japanese army already has a garrison strength of one and a half divisions in the Northeast. If troops are mobilized through Lushun or North Korea, three or five divisions are not a problem. With our three or five Beiyang divisions,  How can we withstand our troops?"

    Sun Yuanqi said: "Brother Pinqing, don't worry, we will try our best to contain the three to five Japanese divisions in Shandong so that they have no time to go north. If they really dare to invest another three to five divisions in the Northeast. Then  This shows that Japan has tapped its war potential to the maximum. You must know that Japan is not like the 30th year of Guangxu (1904) when it just received huge compensation from the Qing government. The British also provided huge loans and were able to mobilize sixteen divisions,  Nearly a hundred warships participated in the battle.

    "Now that the European War is about to break out, the British landlords have no surplus food. Not asking Japan to collect debts is already regarded as Emperor Taisho's burning incense and accruing virtues. Does he still want to borrow debts everywhere? As long as Japan increases its troops in the Northeast, Sun will quickly mobilize them  More than three divisions from Shanxi, Shaanxi, Outer Mongolia and other places will go over to reinforce. As long as we survive the two months after the war begins, we will ensure that the Japanese army collapses without a fight!"

    Cao Kun was a little skeptical: "The Japanese army is really going to overwhelm five divisions in one fell swoop. Can we withstand it for two months?"

    Sun Yuanqi said: "So Sun said just now that the chance of winning this battle does not depend on the strength of Sun's subordinates, but on whether the Beiyang colleagues can help honestly. If Brother Pingqing and Brother Zhongshan can help, encourage the Beiyang colleagues to have the courage to fight to the death.  We will fight the Japanese army bloody to the end. Our total strength of more than eight divisions may not be able to defeat the Japanese army of five divisions and have the last laugh!" After saying that, Sun Yuanqi stood up and bowed deeply to Wang Shizhen and Cao Kun: "This matter is not only about  Sun's rise and fall is not only related to the gains and losses of Shandong Province, but also to China's century-old destiny. I hope that the two brothers can put the country and the nation in mind, abandon their prejudices, and work together to help each other!"

    Cao Kun and Wang Shizhen quickly stood up and supported Sun Yuanqi, saying "Don't dare! Don't dare!".

    While Wang Shizhen was still hesitating, Cao Kun had already agreed: "Prime Minister Baixi is determined to drive out foreign aggression and revive China, and he is indeed a role model for our generation. Cao has been greatly favored by the country. At this time of national crisis, there is no reason to stand by and watch.  ? I am willing to personally lead tens of thousands of tigers and warriors, and be ordered to leap out of the fortress and fight the Japanese aggressors in the white mountains and black waters, even if I die without regrets!"

    Seeing this, Wang Shizhen had no choice but to get off the donkey: "Thanks to Prime Minister Baixi's great love, Wang dares to disobey orders! But now the Beiyang ministries are really short of food and pay, and there is no rice to cook from top to bottom, resulting in a lack of discipline among the officers and soldiers and a lack of combat readiness.  , there are so many complaints that it is impossible to leave the country and join the war now. Please take care of me, Prime Minister Baixi!"

    Sun Yuanqi replied enthusiastically: "As long as the Beiyang ministries are willing to go out to defend the enemy, Sun will naturally favor one over the other in terms of arms, food and pay! However, Sun still wants to remind the two brothers here. According to our comprehensive domestic and foreign intelligence analysis, the war in Europe will be  It will break out in July and August, and then Japan will require Germany to unconditionally hand over all the Jiaozhou Bay leased land to Japan in preparation for its return to China in the future. Regardless of whether we are willing to take over in advance, Japan will go to war against the German troops in Qingdao at the end of August and early September.

    "If the war goes well, it is estimated that we will fight the Japanese army in Shandong for two or three months and decide the outcome. If our army is defeated, only the cession of Shandong and compensation can temporarily resolve the matter, and the corresponding arrangements in the Northeast will naturally fail; but  If our army is victorious, or if the two armies are at a stalemate, then Brother Pinqing and Brother Zhongshan should be more vigilant in the Northeast! It will be ice and snowy in the Northeast by then. Sun will prepare cold-proof clothing for you in advance, and you should also be prepared for winter.  Prepare for combat so as not to be caught off guard when the time comes.

    "Of course, the severe cold in the Northeast in winter has greater advantages for the defenders, especially for the defenders who have built fortifications in advance. Because in winter, everywhere will freeze three feet, and the land that used to be as soft as tofu has become as cold and hard as iron.  Not to mention that iron pickaxes cannot build fortifications. Even a smaller-caliber mortar will be a white dot when it lands on the ground. So you must set out as early as possible to survey the terrain, select places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and build in summer and autumn.  Build a good fortification, and then wait for the hard work. You can get twice the result with half the effort!"

    In Sun Yuanqi¡¯s superficial understanding.  Whether it was Napoleon's attack on Russia or the F¨¹hrer's invasion of the Soviet Union, Soviet Russia was initially overwhelmed by the expeditionary army. However, the harsh weather in Soviet Russia in winter could always help Russia at the right time, just like Japan's Amaterasu's divine wind.  Let the invaders be defeated.  The severe cold in the Northeast may not be as evil as the weather in Russia, but its huge impact on the march and combat of the army cannot be ignored.

    Wang Shizhen and Cao Kun both nodded after hearing this.

    Sun Yuanqi couldn't help but laugh: "Sun is just a scholar and knows nothing about military affairs. What I just said is just taken for granted. It can only be regarded as a fool's thought. I hope I can get something! Brother Pinqing and Brother Zhongshan are both in the military.  General. He knows everything about marching and fighting, and can make choices based on the actual situation. There is no need to stick to Sun's superficial opinion."

    The three of them chatted for a while before Wang Shizhen and Cao Kun refused to stay and stood up to leave.  As soon as he walked out of the gate, Cao Kun asked Wang Shizhen in a low voice: "Brother Pinqing, what do you think are the similarities and differences between Sun Baixi and the Marshal?"

    Wang Shizhen asked, "What do you think, brother Zhongshan?"

    Cao Kun smacked his lips: "My little brother thinks that the Marshal and Sun Baixi are both the kind of people who treat others like they're in love with each other, and they can confide in others when they meet. Moreover, they can promote and entrust the talents they like with important responsibilities. But to  In terms of difference, I feel that the commander-in-chief is kind and dignified, while Sun Baixi is kind and sincere; the commander-in-chief uses people with suspicion, but Sun Baixi uses people who are suspicious; the commander-in-chief is shrewd and judgmental, while Sun Baixi is cowardly.  If not. If we talk about the figures of the Three Kingdoms, the commander-in-chief is like Cao Mengde, and Sun Baixi is like Liu Xuande. I wonder what Brother Qingqing thinks?"

    Wang Shizhen couldn't help but look at Cao Kun: "I didn't expect that my brother Zhongshan could recognize people so well. He was really impressed after three days apart! It is indeed as you said, the commander is shrewd and good at making decisions and employing people with suspicion.  The advantage of Emperor Wu of Wei during the Three Kingdoms period was that he was able to rule without any disadvantages, but the disadvantage was that it was difficult for any of his civil and military officials to surpass his talents. Sun Baixi seemed to be cowardly and suspicious of others, but the disadvantage was that success was achieved by people.  Only the Five Tiger Generals and Zhuge Wuhou can achieve hegemony. If you don't meet these talents, you will have to wander around; but the advantage is that the civil and military skills of his subordinates can surpass his knowledge, and they can stand alone.

    "But from Brother Yu's point of view, there are several reasons why the commander-in-chief failed in his ambition and why Sun Baixi soared into the sky. The first is that Sun Baixi has always been famous for his "virtue", and the commander-in-chief  Therefore, the word "power" sweeps the world; secondly, Sun Baixi likes to fight against the outside first and then settle down the inside. Our commander-in-chief likes to settle down inside first and then fight against the outside. Of course, the most unattainable thing is that Sun Baixi has a unique vision and takes care of almost every step.For example, when he caught up with the establishment of a school, he could enter the official career; when he caught up with the abolition of the imperial examination, he became famous in one fell swoop; when he caught up with the epidemic prevention in Northeast China, he took the opportunity to train in the cabinet; when he caught up with Sichuan to quell the chaos, he happened to be in one fell swoop  Won the three provinces of Shanxi, Shaanxi and Sichuan

    "It's easy to take one step right, but it's very difficult to take every step right. Therefore, counting from the time when the general joined the army in the seventh year of Guangxu (1881), his official career was smooth. It was not until the twenty-seventh year of Guangxu (1901) that he was appointed to act as the governor-general of Zhili.  He was also the minister of Beiyang. It took him more than twenty years to enter the cabinet in the 33rd year of Guangxu (1907). And what about Sun Baixi? He had just entered the official career in the 27th year of Guangxu (1901). In the spring of the 3rd year of Xuantong (1911)  He was already the Minister of Education, entered the cabinet, and later became the acting Governor of Sichuan. It took ten years!

    "If he didn't have such a unique vision, Sun Baixi would be just a virtuous and famous minister; but with such a vicious vision, coupled with such virtue, and recruiting such talents, who in the world can be rivaled? I saw him today.  , Wang realized that the commander-in-chief was not unjustly defeated!"

    Cao Kun knew this and asked, "So Brother Pinqing plans to take up the post of deputy chief of staff?"

    Wang Shizhen said with high spirits: "It doesn't matter what the deputy commander is. I just want to drive out of the fortress to fight the Japanese pirates and avoid the shame of running away after being defeated twenty years ago!"
