1. Japan returned all concessions in China before July 1926, 7

2. The Japanese Kwantung Army withdrew to the Kwantung State, and without the consent of the Chinese government in the future, it is not allowed to send troops at will

3. Withdrawal of Japanese troops stationed in China

4. Japan reduced two-thirds of the remaining Boxer indemnity

5: China returns captured Japanese soldiers to Japan

After the conditions were signed, the Japanese media called it the only shame in decades, and Bai Chuanyi committed suicide and apologized.

After the captured Japanese soldiers were returned, all the officers were disemboweled collectively on the ship back to Japan. All the soldiers were sent to military courts and imprisoned. After being released, they have always been despised by the people.

On the contrary, the Chinese media called it a victory of China's diplomacy. Even the "Kingmin Daily" also admitted that the signing of the treaty reflected the victory of China and Japan's anti-Japanese struggle.

Taking advantage of the victory in the negotiations with Japan, Gu Weijun returned to Beijing to continue negotiations with Britain, France, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, and the United States that have concessions in China to discuss the issue of returning the concessions

After Gu Weijun returned to Beijing, Zhang Anle took the train to Jinan to hold a conference on disarmament and reorganization (to be continued)

Chapter 10 Reorganization of the Lu Army

In his previous life, Zhang Zongchang was known as the Three Unknown Generals, who didn’t know how much money he had, how many soldiers he had, and how many aunts and concubines he had.

This sounds a little exaggerated, but it’s not an exaggeration. Zhang Zongchang was the governor of Shandong for 3 years, and there were countless levies and miscellaneous taxes in various names. The warlords in Sichuan tried every means to plunder the people in order to raise troops. Yang Sen, a famous Sichuan warlord, collected taxes from those who carried dung into the city. donate"

Of course, the warlords collected taxes. Liu Xiang collected taxes until 1975, Tian Songyao collected taxes until 1987, Yang Sen collected taxes until 1989, Deng Xihou collected taxes until 1991, Liu Cunhou collected taxes until 2010, and Liu Wencai was better, only collecting taxes until 1949.

I don't know how many aunts and wives are, but the main reason is that he is a licentious person, he can't move when he sees a beautiful woman, and he doesn't ask about his background, no matter where he comes from, there are people from China or foreign countries.

Now I want to talk about his soldiers. Zhang Zongchang started from the Northeast, from a brigade commander, after the second anti-Feng war, he quickly became a warlord with more than [-] troops. After he arrived in Shandong, he accepted the local troops of Shandong. Later, there were people who came to take refuge in him, because Zhang Zongchang had always been unruly, and he recruited the enemy's defeated soldiers, and they were rarely registered. Although it was reorganized once later, but his character is carefree, the people under him can do as much as they say, so he really doesn't know how many soldiers he has.

This is a bit far away. Zhang Anle now no matter how many soldiers he has, those are meaningless. What he has to consider is how many soldiers are left. In Zhang Anle's plan, the standing army of the whole of China is kept at about 100 divisions, which is more than 120 million. The size of the original Northwest Army had 24 divisions; Jiang Deng selected 9 divisions, Zhang Anle planned to keep 5; Yuan Zuming's 4 divisions kept 3; this is 32 divisions, Zhang Lufeng reorganized 3 divisions in Jiangsu, Shandong only 5 divisions are enough. In other words, there are now more than 20 troops in Shandong, leaving more than 6 troops

"This disarmament plan was made by the General Command based on actual combat needs and the country's financial capabilities combined with the actual situation, after scientific calculations and careful consideration.

The general headquarters plans to retain 5 divisions of the former Lu army in Shandong area, which means 63000 people

According to the various situations in the army, the principle of disarmament is to disarm those under 20 years old, those over 30 years old, those who have no brothers at home, those who are weak and sick and smoke opium.”

As soon as this remark came out, the officers sitting below immediately started discussing

"This is too powerful. More than half of the brothers have been fired."

"Who says it's not? What are you going to do with so many brothers?"

"There is no such thing as too many soldiers in a war"

……

"Everyone be quiet, I haven't finished yet." Wang Hanming quickly patted the table and said when he saw that there was some confusion below

Everyone shut up when they saw Wang Hanming patted the table

"The dismissed soldiers are each given a subsidy of 50 oceans, and after the discharge notice, with the discharge notice, whether it is national recruitment or food collection and taxation, there will be preferential treatment

Officers who are unwilling to stay in the army will be given a subsidy of 1002000 oceans depending on their rank, and they can consider working in the government when they return home.

The National Defense Forces Headquarters of the Republic of China June 25, 6

"

After Wang Hanming finished reading the disarmament order, the people below started arguing again

"Chief of Staff Wang, please tell the commander-in-chief that so many of our brothers have followed him for so many years, and there is no credit but hard work. You say let them go home at once, what can they do?" someone complained below

"Yes, Chief of Staff Wang, talk to the commander-in-chief, and then add up the total," the others echoed.

"Brothers, everyone has heard the disarmament order. It has been clearly stated above that we used to be surrounded by enemies, so we needed a lot of troops. Now there are no enemies around us. There is really no need to support another 20 troops. Don't worry, everyone. All the people command more military pay than now, and it will definitely not be less than now," Wang Hanming said to everyone with a smile

Wang Hanming looked at the people below, although they had smiles on their faces, but he didn't take it seriously in his heart. These people said very well, and they looked like they were thinking about their brothers. In fact, they didn't want to let go of the military power in their hands. People like them I'm afraid that once I lose my military power, I'll be nothing

In the past, when Zhang Zongchang was in charge, these people used the name of Zhang Zongchang to extort money from the troops stationed there, making the people miserable and they were paid for it. After drinking the blood of the soldiers and reorganizing it, at least it is impossible to cheat the army. , and as far as Wang Hanming knows, the reorganization of the Northwest Army is not as simple as abolishing the reorganization

Last year's Yan Xishan and this year's Zhang Zhijiang after their troops were reorganized, they all conducted a three-month training in the military training camp under construction. The Henan troops have not yet come out, but I have to say that the soldiers who came out of the military training camp, Whether it is mental outlook or military quality, it is not comparable to what it used to be.

Everyone’s most intuitive impression is the White Russian Army. In the past, the White Russian Army was the leader of Zhang Zongchang’s army, just like the uncle, and they all wanted to walk sideways. But after they came back this time, they changed. This kind of arrogance is completely gone, and it is no longer like locusts in the past, bringing famine wherever they go. In the past half a year, the Military Disciplinary Office has not received a single case to confess the status of the Russian army. This is simply unbelievable. You must know that the former Belarusian army not only bullied ordinary people, but also ordinary soldiers

Although I don't know what they learned in the military training camp, it seems that they did not learn in vain

"Everyone, don't make noise. Everyone should have heard what the commander-in-chief said just now. Although everyone here may have different levels after the reorganization, the money you get every month must be much better than before. I will drive here first. In the afternoon, everyone After handing over the rosters of the respective units to the official office and returning to the units, everyone must hurry up and complete the work of disarmament." Wang Hanming also turned and left after saying the last sentence

"Is there too many people who have been reorganized and abolished this time?" Back in the room, Zhang Zongchang asked Zhang Anle a little bit impatiently

"Leaving 5 divisions is not too small. Now that there is no war in the north, there is no need to raise so many soldiers. Even if we fight against the south in the future, 40 divisions are enough now. The revolutionary army in the south is not just 20 armies, more than 40 divisions?" The disarmament is a plan that Zhang Anle, Timuge and others came up with after serious consideration. At this stage, it is still possible to keep the troop strength at around 40 divisions

"Forget it, whatever you want, anyway, I will go to the field after I help you reorganize the troops." Zhang Zongchang waved his hand and said, he was not interested in going to the field when he thought of going to the field

Seeing Zhang Zongchang like this, Zhang Anle felt uncomfortable. After all, he is only in his 40s this year, and now he is about to withdraw from the political arena because of his son.

"Hehe, in fact, it's good for you to go to the field like this. If you want to do business, you can do it. If you really don't want to do it, wouldn't it be great to take your aunts around the mountains and rivers?" Zhang Anle laughed dryly and persuaded

Zhang Zongchang could hear the apology in Zhang Anle's words, but the father and son had some things they couldn't say

"Haha, that's fine, you're right, anyway, I earn enough money to spend two lifetimes, if they want to do business with me, they can do it together, if not, I'll take your aunts around." Zhang Zongchang knew that if he was unhappy, neither would his son, so he laughed and said

"Bang, bang, bang, report to the commander, Chief of Staff Wang is asking to see you," the guard outside knocked on the door to inform

"Ask him to come in quickly," Zhang Anle ordered.

Wang Hanming came in and gave a military salute, "Marshal, Commander-in-Chief"

"Han Ming, you came at the right time. I mentioned to you before I talked to An Le about the governor of Shandong. This kid has become the governor. I can't still be the governor of the army. Since ancient times There is no such rule, and I plan to hand over Shandong's military and political affairs to you after I leave the field, what do you think?" Zhang Zongchang said happily when Wang Hanming came

"Haha, the commander-in-chief is really good at joking. How can I be the governor?" Wang Hanming smiled and said haha, while thinking about what Zhang Zongchang meant.

"You don't have to think too much. Before I told my father who would take over the position of the Shandong governor after he left the field. My father recommended you. Now I will say that first. The military and government will definitely be separated in the future, so you have to think carefully. Whether to take over the position of the governor or the position of the security commander?" Zhang Anle knew that Wang Hanming might be thinking too much when he saw Wang Hanming say this, so he simply said clearly

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief and Commander-in-Chief for your trust, can you allow me to think about it for a few more days?" Seeing that Zhang Anle made his words clear, Wang Hanming said directly without any pretentiousness.

"Of course. After all, joining the army and going into politics are two different paths. How do people react to the disarmament?" Zhang Anle nodded in agreement, and then asked about the disarmament.

"Of course they will have resistance, but I believe there will be no problem. As long as the soldiers below have no objections, they will not be able to make any trouble. The severance pay for the soldiers in this disarmament is very high, plus food and tax relief. Wait for the measures, the soldiers will never complain," Wang Hanming said confidently

"It's so good. Only when the disarmament work in Shandong goes smoothly, it will be easier for Anhui."
