Chapter 191
: Find your shortcomings (first update! Please give me a monthly vote!)
A very typical courtyard house in Huaian Hutong, the capital city. When you enter, there is a spacious earthen floor inside, with two tall and straight poplar trees growing on the earthen floor. There is a grape trellis between the poplar trees. At the beginning of the year, the leaves on the vines lushly blocked all the sunlight, and the vines were even full of grapes.
"Huaihai Strategic Envoy"
Guan Zhenming, who was sitting under the grape trellis, was stunned at first when he heard these five words, and then looked at Yang Du in surprise, even though he couldn't speak for a long time.
At this time, Yang Du was half closed his eyes and no expression appeared on his face.
"The essay envoy is an official position granted by the central government. Whenever there are important military and political affairs, it will set up a special strategy to regulate several provincial military and political affairs. Its position is higher than that of a provincial governor. How can you sit and watch when encountering this matter?"
After saying a word, Yang Du was still drinking his tea, as if talking about something that had nothing to do with him, but Guan Zhenming was more surprised than admired.
At this moment, they sat face to face under the grape trellis, with a maroon-red carved short-legged coffee table in the middle of the two. This was a gift sent by the eldest son Yuan Keding. There were two bowls of tea on the coffee table. A box of imported cigars lay beside the tea bowl. The imported cigars from Havana were brought by Guan Zhenming from Lianyungang.
The sun hangs high in the sky, and the white sunlight shines from the leaves bit by bit. The round and semicircular white shadows on the ground are like snowflakes that have not melted on the ground.
The snowflakes made of sunshine were scattered on the coffee table, adding this poetic and picturesque touch to the conversation between the two. At this time, Guan Zhenming's mood was like the scenery in his eyes, shining brightly and brilliantly. He excitedly listened to Mr. Yang's talk in front of him.
Last time, the "competitive" incident made him lose money by stealing money. He tried hard to put his thoughts on Li Zicheng, but he became famous for Liuhe. Later, Li Zicheng even sent a telegram, and the words of thanks from the telegram hurt Guan Zhenming's self-esteem.
It was from then on that time that Guan Zhenming decided to find a helping hand for himself. After thinking about it, he finally chose Yang Du. On the one hand, it was Yang Du's talent, and the most important point was that Yang Du was like him, both of whom were "used and abandoned" by Li Zicheng, and he was also dissatisfied with him.
“Keep new,”
Looking at Guan Zhenming, Yang Du's face showed a little smile. At this time, he wore a black tribute satin robe, leaned obliquely on the back of the rattan chair, and said in great interest.
"Do you know where you lost last time?"
"Sir, please make it clear"
"Last time, you were able to make a big move. You did everything to help you, but became the name of Liuhe Manufacturing. Now, no one in China knows Liuhe Manufacturing. Wouldn't Li Zicheng thank you? Qi Xin, you just want it to climb to the highest point and fall even harder, but I forgot what did Li Zhiyuan start with him?"
When he was carrying Li Zhiyuan, Yang Du was full of contempt. He introduced himself to the capital, but how did he treat himself? It was understandable that he would throw himself aside with the loan at one time. But later he repeatedly expressed his hope to invest in Liuhe and wanted to introduce a few friends to Liuhe. But he refused to think that Li Zhiyuan could do what he had today. He naturally had to deal with such ungrateful people.
"It's a big mistake to attack his strength by attacking him with strength"
"What sir said."
Guan Zhenming nodded quickly and said that he was not as unfair as before. Yang Du was the military advisor he "invites" to him. He paid 5,000 yuan in car and horse fees from the company's "public relations fee" every month. Isn't it just to help him come up with ideas and suggestions? What's more, Yang Du's talent, he has a deep understanding of it. He can always do more with half the effort when doing things according to his suggestions.
Thinking of the mistake he made, Guan Zhenming always felt that if time goes back, the incident might not benefit from it, at least it would not make Li Zhiyuan famous.
"Qi Xin, you are very kind and meticulous, I know..."
Looking at Guan Zhenming, Yang Du said directly that he had no disgust for the young man in front of him. Although he knew that the "deputy manager of Liuhe Company" was thinking about how to get Liuhe Company, Yang Du knew that if he could get Liuhe, at least he would not forget himself.
"But, when you do things, you always have a little less. Think about it, Li Zhiyuan is good at industrial and technological, how can you give him a blow?"
After asking, Yang Du's thoughts began to become uneasy.
"However, your situation today is fortunate. Will there be no chance for the deputy manager of Liuhe Company to go further? But you have to seize the opportunity, but where can you seize the opportunity?"
"Sir, please make it clear"
Guan Zhenming's respect made Yang Du very helpful. He drank a tea and saw that Guan Zhenming respectfully added tea to himself, he continued to say.
"Using your strength to attack your weakness is the key to military strategy."
Take a cigar from the cigar box, and Guan Zhenming quickly lit it for it. However, Yang Du did not continue to speak, but just kept smoking, as if he was concentrating on tasting the fun the cigar brought to him. However, Guan Zhenming's face was not full of urgency, but just sat there respectfully, waiting for Yang Du to finish smoking the cigar.
After smoking a cigar, he pressed the cigarette butt into the ashes, and then he took another one, and Guan Zhenming hurriedly set fire to light a cigar for it, while Yang Du narrowed his eyes again and wandered in the smoke. Guan Zhenming knew that Yang Du was thinking seriously. At this time, Yang Du was smoking a cigar calmly, and circles of light green smoke immediately hovered above his head.
"Industry is the strength of Li's family. If we start working on this, we will undoubtedly attack the strength of the other party, which is not in the form of military tactics. Therefore, we must write articles in other places."
"Sir, I suggest that the President should be appointed as the Huaihai Strategic Envoy, and to promote the Yangzhou Braidi Army, which is to use our strengths to attack his weaknesses?"
Guan Zhenming was surprised that Yang Du made this idea to the president before, but then he thought that even if Li Zi can move the Jiangsu Army, he will naturally be able to...
"Silver, money is not omnipotent"
Seeing the abnormality on Guan Zhenming's face, Yang Du said with a smile.
"Now the Piran Army has no leader, and the battalion commanders are not convinced by each other, and the soldiers are even more in chaos. How can this be used to quell the chaos by taking out hundreds of thousands of yuan? How can the soldiers rush to snatch the chaos by snatching the local area? How can the soldiers robbed the local area? How can the military pay 11 or 2 yuan? It is easy to transform into bandits, but it is difficult to quell the chaos in Yangzhou Piran Army. The key is to carry out heavy sanctions in troubled times."
Duplicate practices in troubled times
"But, Li Zhiyuan's hands..."
When Guan Zhenming spoke, he was surprised. Li Zhiyuan had no soldiers in his hands. What kind of actions he used to do to quell the Yangzhou rebellion? This undoubtedly put Li Zhiyuan on the fire.
"Li Zhiyuan has no soldiers in his hands, how can he quell the rebellion?"
"Sir, I'm very insightful"
Guan Zhenming admired the cleverness of Yang Du's suggestion from his heart, but he still had some doubts. After all, this has nothing to do with him. What is benefited from... he noticed Guan Zhenming's strangeness and Yang Du smiled.
"Once Li Zhiyuan caused some chaos in Yangzhou, if the rebels turned from Yangzhou to the north, then Feng Guozhang's troops would be used as a middle-class person. This is also the reason why the president agreed. Qi Xin, do you know, what other benefits are there?"
"Sir, what other benefits will this be?"
This is also what Guan Zhenming is most interested in. He couldn't wait to ask, for fear that Yang Du would go through the motions at this critical point, and the most important thing was what benefits he could get from it.
In fact, Yang Du was trying to smear Guan Zhenming's appetite and deliberately attracted his special attention. He said with a smile.
"At that time, your deputy manager of Liuhe Company will come in handy."
"Sir, I mean..."
Guan Zhenming was shocked. He really couldn't understand what Yang Du meant. What use would he use at that time? Feng Guozhang...
"Qi Xin, you are smart for a lifetime and confused for a while."
Yang Du became very proud, and looked at Guan Zhenming with a smile and shook his head from time to time, as if he was wondering why he couldn't figure out the connection.
"This Yang Xizi."
In the evening, Yuan Shikai called Liang Shiyi and Duan Qirui to Jurentang, arranged the food and drinks, and had a comfortable meal. At this restaurant, when talking about Yangzhou and Yang Du's suggestions, Yuan Shikai couldn't help laughing.
Faced with Yuan Shikai's laughter, the taciturn Duan Qirui didn't say anything, but just ate his food quietly. He has always been like this, and silence is gold, perhaps it should be on him.
"President, it seems that Yang Du has held a grudge against Li Zhiyuan. Otherwise, he wouldn't have..."
Liang Shiyi smiled and shook his head. The government borrowed money from Li, which was Yang Du's head, but in the end he was married for others. However, Yang Du held a grudge against Li Zhiyuan.
"A small measure is not a gentleman"
Duan Qirui, who had always been taciturn, suddenly interrupted at this moment, and then he looked up at the president in front of him.
"Although such villains have talents, they are not very useful."
Touching his beard, Yuan Shikai nodded.
"Although that's the case, Yang Xizi is a bit talented. He asked Li Zhiyuan to go to Yangzhou. If Li Zhiyuan returns in Yangyu, it may cause chaos. At that time, Hua Fu can enter Yangzhou to quell the rebellion of the Piran Army. At that time, the affairs of Jiangbei will be settled in an instant."
Then Yuan Shikai said sarcastically.
"But how can Yang Du's little tricks be hidden from this president? I heard that he has a deep relationship with Guan Zhenming, deputy manager of Liuhe Company. I think that Guan Zhenming has set his sights on Liuhe's industry..."
As he said, Yuan Shikai's eyes showed a little contempt when he stroked Hu.
"A small person is not a gentleman, and a non-toxic man is not a husband. These two people are made of heaven and earth."
"If you want to seize human property, how can a gentleman be the president? Since he sees this, he will definitely support Li Zhiyuan when he comes."
Liang Shiyi said a fair word to Li Zhiyuan next to him.
But Yuan Shikai shook his head and said.
"Let's talk about these things then. Li Zhiyuan has been going smoothly, and some troubles are good."
Listening to the President's words, Duan Qirui was stunned at first, and then understood the President's idea. The President wanted to use this matter to make Li Zhiyuan understand some truth, then put down his hand and looked at the President and said.
"If the President wants to block the world, I am afraid that only one Li Zhiyuan will not work, and he may even be treated with someone."
