Chapter 236 It's Not For Nothing
Hearing this, Zheng Yong, You Feng and the others had different expressions, and each of them had different thoughts.
Everyone was silent, and the atmosphere in the front hall became a little dignified.
After a while, an official from the Ministry of Communications sighed and said, "Oh, I'm over 40 this year, and I'm not so excited to go to work in a place so far away in Lingnan Province."
"As for going to Jinmen, forget it, I'll go back to my hometown in Qianxi, buy some land there, choose an acre of good land, and plant a few chestnut trees. When you come to my place in the future, I will fry chestnuts for you eat!"
Speaking of this, the middle-aged man smiled, but there was a bit of bitterness in that smile. After all, he had managed to get to his current position, but he had to retire and return home. No one would feel good about it.
After this person spoke, the three officials who were also over 40 years old also decided to go back to their hometown. After working hard outside for so many years, it was time to return to their roots and enjoy a few days of peaceful life.
At this time, You Feng frowned and pondered for a while, then said: "I plan to go to Lingnan, although the capital is a good place, but at the foot of the emperor, if the people above sneeze, I will have a fever and a cold here."
"Let's go to Lingnan, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away. You don't have to worry all day long that you will offend the young master or the boss's lady in the capital."
"Besides, Hongfei also needs manpower, and I can help a little if I go there!"
You Feng's attitude also represented the attitude of two officials in their early thirties. They were still young and still had some drive in their bodies.
The remaining Zheng Yong and others planned to go to Jinmen to avoid the limelight. If the Anhui Department could regain power, they would continue to return to the capital to serve.
If the Anhui Department is completely hopeless, they also plan to go back to their hometown to spend a peaceful life.
Although Lin Hongfei was not present, Wu Yushu, as the main wife, could still make the decision. She said, "All of you here are old friends and elders of Hongfei."
"The Lin family's prosperity over the years is also thanks to your help and support."
"Here, I agree on Hongfei's behalf. No matter whether you go to your hometown to recuperate or live in Jinmen temporarily, the dividends of your shares in the Lin family property will remain the same. I will send someone to send them to everyone on time every year."
"In addition, the Lin family will prepare a homecoming gift for everyone. Everyone must accept this gift, and don't shirk it."
"Of course, this is just the worst plan. If Marshal Duan can still stay in the Prime Minister's Office, we will continue to live as usual."
Although Wu Yushu's words were straightforward, they were all real words, and everyone smiled after hearing it.
The official from Qianxi said, "Yushu, although I can't go to Lingnan to help, I still have a few nephews in my family."
"Originally, I planned to keep them in the capital as errands, but now, I am almost in danger of protecting myself, so I just let them go to Lingnan Province as well."
"Yes, I also have two subordinates here. I will tell them about this when I go back."
"Then I'll also recommend a few people to help Hongfei!"
Everyone immediately said one word at a time.
After some discussion, everyone had settled on the follow-up matters, and they got up one after another to leave.
When they were all gone, Wu Yushu suddenly looked at Qian Minghe and Chen Fengchang with a gloomy expression and said, "Old man, uncle, what are you two planning?"
"Just now when Zheng Yong asked you two, you two just chatted and didn't say anything directly."
"To them, you two don't tell the truth, but to me, you two have to tell the truth!"
This is what is said between relatives, not so twisted and twisted, it is straightforward.
Qian Minghe smiled wryly: "Hey, what other arrangements can I make? I am over 60 this year, and the Anhui Department has collapsed. I must step down and make way."
"Even if the Anhui Department makes a comeback in the future, I won't be in the mood to go out again."
"Last time, Hongfei gave me a deed for a foreign-style building in the Jinmen Concession. I think I'll go there to retire there!"
Chen Fengchang also showed bitterness. He managed to get into the position of deputy chief, and now he was about to step down. How could he face it calmly.
"I'm the same as the old man, let's go to Jinmen too, so that I can be a companion."
"Besides, Jiaming will return to China from France next year. At that time, I will send him to Lingnan Province, where Hongfei will take care of him. I think he won't suffer much."
Qian Minghe shook his head and said with a smile, "Jiaming is a good boy. As for those bastards in my family, they should stay in the capital, so as not to go to Lingnan Province and cause trouble for Hongfei."
The atmosphere in the front hall is still dignified, just like the current situation of Zhiwan Fengsanfang.
All parties are dispatching troops and horses as much as possible. Everyone knows that this battle will determine which party holds the highest authority in the country.
Therefore, no one from all parties will hide their strength any more, and they will take out the teams that are under pressure one after another, and fight to the death.
At the same time, all parties also promoted their officials before the war to inspire their fighting spirit.
Even Lin Hongfei, who was far away in Lingnan Province, received a military order from the capital. The content of the military order consisted of four parts. The first part was to reorganize the troops under Lin Hongfei's command into the new No. 16 division of the army, with Lin Hongfei as the division commander.
Since then, the wild designation of the Independence Regiment has officially transformed into the official designation of the Republic of China army.
This is equivalent to turning from an illegitimate child born to a maid to the legitimate son of the housewife.
The second part is to promote Lin Hongfei to the rank of major general, making Lin Hongfei officially among the ranks of generals.
Lin Hongfei is currently serving as the guardian of Jiangbei, and the area under his jurisdiction is only the seven counties of Jiangbei.
The entire Lingnan Province includes Jiangbei, Lingzhong, Lingxi, Beishan and Dongjiang.
In the third part of the military order, the Ministry of the Army assigned the Lingzhong and Lingxi areas of Lingnan Province to Lin Hongfei's jurisdiction.
The jurisdiction of his Jiangbei guardian envoy directly covered Jiangbei, Lingzhong, and Lingxi, and he almost emptied He Taikang, the warlord.
The reason why the Ministry of the Army has such an appointment is that He Taikang himself is not doing his job well, and his private contact with the direct line was discovered by the high-level officials.
If you don't work hard, you don't play lazy, and if you specialize, you don't have eyes.
At this time, the battle between Zhiwan and Anhui is imminent. As a general of the Anhui faction, you go to secretly contact the enemy. What do you want to do?If this gets out, isn't it saying that the Anhui Department is dead, and even I, He Taikang, have started looking for a new home, and everyone else should hurry up!
Originally, according to Marshal Duan's intention, He Taikang was investigated and dismissed.
But considering the more than 9000 men under this person, Marshal Duan endured it again. After all, these 9000 men can play a big role on the battlefield.
If He Taikang is severely punished, the more than 9000 people directly turn against him, that would be terrible.
But bear with it, Marshal Duan no longer believes in any Taikang.
Therefore, Marshal Duan decided to dismember He Taikang's power, so he allocated Lingxi and Lingzhong to Lin Hongfei.
This is also to put a nail in He Taikang's side.
And this is the fourth part of the military order, and it is also the highlight of the entire military order.
That is to let Lin Hongfei stare at He Taikang's troops on the one hand, so as to prevent them from turning to the direct line and messing up Lingnan Province.
On the other hand, he hopes that Lin Hongfei can send troops across the river to attack the northern part of Hubei Province, restrain the direct troops of Hubei Province, and prevent them from going north to support.
Seeing this, Lin Hongfei couldn't help but shook his head and sneered:
"Sure enough, there is no such thing as taking advantage for nothing. There are more than 9000 people at He Taikang's place. What do you think?"
"Not to mention people, even 9000 pigs are not so easy to take care of."
"As for attacking the northern part of Hubei Province, good guy, there are more than [-] direct troops in Hubei Province."
"It's not easy to restrain!"
"If I'm not careful, I'll have to spend all my money!"
