Qiao Zhiqing looked at Wei Ziyou's small appearance and smiled, lowered his head and read the military newspaper, then handed it to Wei Ziyou, and added, "Ziyou, after the military newspaper is sent out, by the way, I will inform Hunan Provincial Governor Chen Bingwen and Anhui Provincial Governor Chen Yucheng to come to Beijing to see me, I have something to explain to them" "Yes, Brother Qiao" Wei Ziyou saw Qiao Zhiqing smile, smiled happily in his heart, and quickly left the house after taking the military newspaper.She guessed that Qiao Zhiqing must be reactivating the two generals, but she didn't ask anything, Qiao Zhiqing must have his reasons for doing so.Qiao Zhiqing continued to approve the revised strategic plan of the Ministry of National Defense, and the Ministry of National Defense listened to his opinions, revised the plan for sending troops to Australia, and handed it over to him for approval.This time there are a total of two landing sites in Australia, one at the Port of Melbourne in Victoria and the other at the Port of Sydney in New South Wales.A total of three armies were dispatched in this campaign.The first step in the military plan was to send two advance divisions to land at two ports respectively.At the same time, carry the necessary supplies ashore, set up a defensive base on the shore, and wait for reinforcements.The second step was to continue to send more troops, and when the next two armies and one division landed, then launched a general attack on the British army.These British in Australia are basically the descendants of pirates, criminals, and gold diggers, and they are naturally warmongers.If they don't kill some of them, they won't easily surrender to others.The Guangzhou Military Region is entirely responsible for this advance into Australia.After the incident of Hong Renji's restoration was exposed, Chen Bingwen, commander of the Guangzhou Military Region, and Chen Yucheng, deputy commander of the Nanjing Military Region, were implicated and were transferred to Hunan Province to serve as governor and governor of Anhui Province respectively.However, the two of them, the provincial governors, are not comfortable, some people are born to be military generals, and they were born to fight.If he were to do a clerical job, he would definitely be suffocated to death.Chen Bingwen and Chen Yucheng are such people, since they changed to civilian positions, the whole person has become depressed.They are different from Guo Songtao, Zuo Zongtang and other generals of the imperial court, these people were civil officials of the imperial court at the beginning, and later abandoned their pen and joined Rong to prepare for the formation of regiments to suppress the Taiping army.Transfer them to civilian positions, and no one will be uncomfortable.Because the foundation of the Guangzhou Military Region was still expanded from the former army, Chen Bingwen was the founder of the former army at the beginning, and most of the generals of the Guangzhou Military Region were his subordinates.At the beginning, Chen Bingwen and Chen Yucheng just knew about it and did not report it, and they did not make up their minds to rebel against Hong Renji.Qiao Zhiqing reassigned them to civilian positions, in fact, it was to warn the two of them, and to hone their hearts, and the positions in the army were still reserved for the two of them.Because Chen Yucheng joined the Huaxing Army late, he served as deputy commander of the Nanjing Military Region.After he left, the impact was not great, and the Nanjing Military Region was originally Qiao Zhiqing's descendant, and he was originally tasked with defending Nanjing.Chen Bingwen is different, he is very senior in the Huaxing Army, and he is also the second general in the Taiping Army to submit to Qiao Zhiqing.The post of commander of the Guangzhou Military Region is not trivial, and after he left, Qiao Zhiqing has not formally appointed anyone else, but only asked Deputy Commander Xu Desheng to temporarily act as commander, and the position of commander of the Guangzhou Military Region is still reserved for him.Fortunately, the two of them have been careful since then, and they have not complained at all, otherwise they may not even be able to sit still in the position of governor now.Qiao Zhiqing's order soon spread to Hunan and Anhui, and after Chen Bingwen and Chen Yucheng were notified, their hearts were about to jump out with excitement.The two took the waterway directly from the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to Beijing, which only took a week.During the week, the provincial military districts have been ordered by the Ministry of National Defense to continuously assemble in the Guangzhou Military Region.The East China Sea Fleet and the North Sea Fleet have also set off, and after loading logistics supplies at the Shanghai military port, they will sail together for the Guangzhou military port.The North Sea Fleet has now expanded to the size of ten warships, all of which are large-tonnage warships independently developed by New China.Deng Shichang played several times to Qiao Zhiqing and asked to participate in the naval battle in Nanyang.But Qiao Zhiqing has not approved.This time he was finally able to go to the front line to show his skills, and Deng Shichang was about to be overjoyed.As soon as the military order of the Ministry of Defense was issued, troops were immediately sent south.After Chen Bingwen and Chen Yucheng arrived in the capital, they arrived at the Presidential Palace in a hurry, and they didn't even look for a place to live.After Wei Ziyou got the news, he hurriedly took the two of them to meet Qiao Zhiqing.Qiao Zhiqing was in the room reciting the military report sent back by India, and after India gradually returned to stability, Wu Xuming would also rush to the Ministry of Defense to take up his post.India will have only three armies to garrison, and the rest of the armies will be transferred back to China."
Hello president" Chen Bingwen and Chen Yucheng entered the study, straightened their waists and saluted Qiao Zhiqing, not at all like a civilian.After Wei Ziyou went down, he hurriedly instructed Yan Zhili to make a pot of hot tea in the house and bring it in.Now Yan Zhili has officially served as Qiao Zhiqing's life secretary, and is responsible for reception, greeting and sending, as well as Qiao Zhiqing's daily life.She also has two days off a week, and when it comes to Sunday holidays, Li Yueru and Tian Runye are in charge of these affairs.Originally, Qiao Zhiqing wanted these two girls to study hard, but they both wanted to support themselves and didn't want to live here for nothing.So Qiao Zhiqing had no choice but to hire two little beauties to serve."
Alright, let's all sit down.I haven't seen you in such a long time, and you're both the same.Look at it, where is there a civil official" Qiao Zhiqing smiled and motioned for the two to sit down in the guest chair.Yan Zhili also came in and filled a bowl of tea for each of the three of them, and carefully closed the door and exited the house."
The president said with a smile, our brother will always be your general, and he will not change until he dies.Chen Bingwen and Chen Yucheng clenched their fists at the same time, and their faces were full of sincere expressions.This is also the first time that Qiao Zhiqing summoned them after the Hong Renji incident, and the excitement of the two can be imagined."
Transferring you to civilian positions, don't you two blame me very much" Qiao Zhiqing chuckled, took a sip of the tea bowl, and looked directly at the two of them."
No, where do subordinates dare to complain about the president" Chen Bingwen and Chen Yucheng hurriedly shook their heads, all with sincere and fearful expressions."
Alright, you two don't have to hide it from me.Putting aside the presidency, we have been brothers for so many years, and I also know what you think in your hearts.The two of you were indeed innocent of Hong Renji's incident at the beginning, and this matter was completely caused by his greed.The reason why I transferred you two to civilian posts is to let the two of you temporarily avoid gossip and maintain the unity of the Huaxing Army.Now that this matter is over, I asked you to come over, or consider letting you continue to serve in the army.What do you both think" Qiao Zhiqing confided in the two of them sincerely, for so long, this matter has been hidden in his heart.The stakes are very important in the affairs of the army, and there must be no room for mistakes.He urgently replaced the two at the beginning, in order to prevent the mutiny and test the loyalty of the two by the way.Now it seems that the two are still worth believing and reusing
