Today, Liu Jingxiao raised this topic again, but Lin Yichen's kung fu was indeed amazing, as if he had missed honey: "Ship Liu, what's the matter? There are thousands of miles in southern Shandong, and there are abundant resources. Liu Shuai also holds tens of thousands of powerful soldiers. This mere colonel rank is just a training for Liu Shuai himself!"

The more he respects Liu Jingxiao, the more he is, the more he is, Jiaodong is also thousands of miles away and has abundant resources. With Lin Baihe, the heroes of Jiaodong respond in a group. According to Section Chief Xiong, he immediately raises tens of thousands of people. This kind of local snake must not be underestimated. If you are accidentally sold by them, you still don’t know.

In any case, Jiaodong and Lunan are close at hand. With Wang Ziqi, the enemy, we can't get rid of each other. Liu Jingxiao can only treat each other with a smile: "It's not as good as your Lin family, and it's highly respected..."

But Lin Yichen's final gains were indeed great, but he just brought a lot of promises back. As for the expected assistance, Liu Jingxiao didn't give a penny.

The Hubei side also sent representatives over. Duan Tiemin's representative was Ding Quanwu, the former secretary-general of the government, and he was considered old friends with Liu Jingxiao. The two sides had a very speculative talk. Finally, Liu Jingxiao also gave Duan Tiemin a big gift: The war in southern Shandong was decided this year, and Liu Jingxiao intercepted the central tax on his own, but from next year, a part of the tax will be paid to the provincial government. Three years later, the central tax will be completely repaid.

This is very good news for Duan Tiemin. The current finances are quite tight. I borrowed a large sum of money to fight for Nanzheng. As a result, I won the Hunan. Chen Yunjie stopped moving only when he arrived in Hengyang and shouted: "Peace is not the end, and the troops entering Sichuan are also not going well. It is said that the Sichuan army is very poor, so I didn't expect Liu Jingxiao to "sell at a loss" (according to long-term economic history research, the price of the loss is generally increased by several times first, and then the price is reduced by ten percent. At that time, there are many people coming. What's more, a small shop claimed that the store rent was about to expire and sold at a loss. As a result, it was sold for two years in one go. The banner of the loss is outdated).

In this way, the Sichuan Army's equipment can be said to have been completely renewed. Many troops have a division of smoothbore guns from one battalion. Therefore, although Duan Tiemin has the help of his subordinates, the entire entry into Sichuan has not made much progress.

As for the money he borrowed from the Liefeng people after declaring war against Cape, it was Duan Tiemin's only thing that pleased me. Xu Youzheng was indeed a capable figure. During this period, the Northwest Frontier Defense Forces had been trained into three mixed brigades, and in the name of participating in the war against Cape, he organized three participating divisions. For a time, the third division and the third brigade were added to the Hubei army's camp.

Moreover, the quality of these third division and the third brigade is indeed good. The soldiers are all the children of Yan and Zhao. As the saying goes, there are many heroes in Hebei since ancient times. The officers are all graduates of Baoding Military Academy. They have better equipment. With the money borrowed by the Liefeng people, they have all the new guns and new cannons. Liu Jingxiao's 17th Division is always called elite. However, compared with the number of equipment that Section Chief Xiong got, Liu Jingxiao sighed and cursed: "You copied the wrong ones, right... The equipment of a division is twice as good as ours! A mixed brigade is almost worth one division!"

Since you need to be equipped with such an excellent army, you naturally need a lot of money. Liu Jingxiao's 17th Division is the Central Division number, and the central government is responsible for supplying it according to reason. However, after arriving in southern Shandong, the Northern Government only paid two months of military pay.

What's even more serious is that according to the regular regulations, a division's military salary of 141,000 yuan a month, but only 70,000 yuan was obtained. In the third month, it was justified that Liu Jingxiao detained the central government's tax revenue, and he deliberately cried and said: "The soldiers are not allowed to be full all day long, and they are almost selling their children and daughters... As the chief, Jingxiao has a conscience in public and private... Here are some loans, waiting for the entire army's soldiers..."

This is true for Liu Jingxiao's Central Division, let alone other troops. Except for the Second Division, the Eighth Division and other major divisions of the Hubei army, the pay is paid according to the pay, while other troops pay 20 to 60% of the military pay according to the close relationship. Some simply give a part of the maintenance fee. As for Yang Linyi's newly formed second division in Shaanxi, the treatment is even worse. Duan Tiemin gave a big gift - a whiteboard.

As for the Zhi army, Premier Duan regarded Chen Yunjie as an enemy and believed that he was a spy from the southern army in the north. The payment for the Zhi army troops on the front line had been stopped since the day Chen Yunjie issued a telegram.

Originally, there was a difference between Zhi and Hubei. Although the Zhi army in the Southern Expedition rushed to the front and sacrificed the most, Duan Tiemin made an excuse to say that the Baoda area controlled by Zhi and was the essence of Northern China, and the central government's finances were very difficult. Therefore, the military pay of Zhi and Hubei were paid half of each of Zhi and Hubei. Later, for this reason, it was simply stopped all of them. As a result, Cao Ming was heartbroken and fought a telegram battle with Duan Tiemin for a long time.

Of course, most of the money saved is used to train the new army. Duan Tiemin himself is honest and is not good at taking a slight amount of money. All the money is handed over to Xu Youzheng.

Even so, the central government has always had a lot of deficits, and the finances of the Third Brigade of the Third Division were even tight. As a result, Xu Youzheng was indeed a general. He made a great move and unknowingly misappropriated two huge sums of money. It can be said that he was doing it perfectly, but two huge cases were also led to in the future.

Duan Tiemin had great ambitions. He considered that not only the direct troops were unreliable, but there were many people in his own Hubei system. There were only a few people who dared to fight when they rushed out. The Southern Expedition could not count on people like Zhang Ke, so he decided to use the Third Division and Third Brigade compiled by Xu Youzheng to march south by himself. According to his estimate, there was such an elite army to sweep Guangdong in two weeks, then to advance southward and pacify the southwest in one month. However, this still requires the omnipotent silver to open the way.
