Beiyang reactionaries

Yang Wei nodded.

Xiong Qixun, Hu Zhongxiang and the others all took refuge in Duan Xun when Duan Xun needed it most.Duan Xun must give them a good arrangement so that they can win people's hearts.Xiong Qixun gave Duan Xun a brigade, and Duan Xun gave him the position of division commander.

"As for the vice-governor that Dai Kan needs, let Brother Jing'an (Jiang Hongyu) go. He was just right in the past. He was familiar with Guizhou affairs in a short period of time, and he will officially take over the post of governor of Guizhou after half a year. In this way, Guizhou will be Can't run out of our palms."

"The Guizhou Governor..."

"I'm thinking of Han Jianduo or Zhou Ru. Han Jianduo is currently in charge of the army's logistics, and Zhou Ru is in charge of recruiting recruits, training recruits, and negotiating with the local government. Both of them are suitable to serve as the governor of Guizhou."

Yang Wei smiled.

It is estimated that neither Han Jianduo nor Zhou Ru would know that Duan Xun was considering them both as the Guizhou governor.But it is obvious that as long as Duan Xun controls Guizhou, the powerful faction in Guizhou will not even want to be the governor of Guizhou.In the future, the provincial governor can only be responsible for government affairs, and the warlord can only be responsible for things like local troops and military logistics.

Duan Xun will never allow those powerful warlords to come out of the provinces he controls.

"I think I can."

"Then do it."

What happened to Dai Kan was so sudden that Duan Xun was in a hurry for a while.After thinking for a while, he said: "The former Independent Brigade of the First Army of the Southwest Frontier Army was reorganized into the Independent Brigade of the New First Army, and Yan Deji continued to serve as the commander of the Independent Brigade. Xiong Qixun's Independent Brigade of the Guizhou Army was reorganized into the Second Independent Brigade of the First Army of the Southwest Frontier Army. , Lu Zhonglin from Guo Songling's Department was transferred to Guizhou to serve as the brigade commander of the Second Independent Brigade. As for the deputy brigade commander Hu Zhongxiang of the Qianjun Independent Brigade, he asked him to temporarily act as the deputy director of the Guizhou Police Department to help Zhou Ru take charge of the Guizhou police. .”

Duan Xun originally wanted Deng Xihou to take over Xiong Qixun's troops, but after thinking about it, he rejected this idea.When entering Guizhou this time, many of the officers selected were the absolute descendants of Duan Xun.More importantly, Duan Xun has many students who hold important positions there.

If Deng Xihou enters Sichuan again, Duan Xun thinks it will be a little disadvantageous.As a superior, Duan Xun must also grasp some balance while promoting his direct descendants.It is fair for some officers who later joined Duan Xun's banner to feel Duan Xun.

Therefore, Lu Zhonglin was chosen.Lu Zhonglin is a lonely ghost in Duan Xun's army.It does not belong to Duan Xun's classmate, nor is it Duan Xun's student in the military academy, nor does it belong to the officers Duan Xun trained in Western Henan, and of course it is not the current Sichuan Army system.

So he is not in the circle of Duan Xun's classmates like Jiang Hongyu, Shang Zhen, You Min, Fang Dingying, nor can he squeeze into the circle of Duan Xun's military students like Li Jishen and Xu Yongchang, nor is he Zhang Shichen, Yu Xuezhong, Wan Xuan Cai Cai and Song Tiancai defected to Duan Xun as early as in western Henan, and the circle of officers cultivated by Duan Xun did not belong to the Sichuan Army officer system like Liu Xiang.Officers who are about the same age and status as him have their own factions, only Lu Zhonglin does not.

Lu Zhonglin served as a soldier in the sixth town of the Beiyang Army in his early years. Later, he met Feng Yuxiang and joined the No. 20 town of the Beiyang Army.Followed Feng Yuxiang to participate in the Luanzhou Uprising, and after the failure, he entered the Fourth Mixed Brigade of the Beiyang Army as a battalion deputy, and was not valued by Wu Xiangzhen.Later, Wu Xiangzhen was defeated during the War to Protect the Country, and one of Wu Xiangzhen's regiments was reorganized by Duan Xun.Lu Zhonglin joined the officer training group run by Duan Xun along with other officers, and his grades were very good.Because Lu Zhonglin wanted to take the imperial examination when he was a child, he studied very hard, and he was more knowledgeable than ordinary officers who went to military academies when they were young.

Because of his excellent grades, Duan Xun regards him very highly.During the lecture, Duan Xun communicated with Lu Zhonglin alone several times.Finally, he was promoted to be the head of the armed police force. After Guo Songling's first brigade of the armed police force was expanded into the first division, Lu Zhonglin was also promoted to a higher level.

In fact, Duan Xun likes officers like Lu Zhonglin.

Precisely because there is no backer in the army, he can only rely on Duan Xun.

"Xinye, besides this matter, I have more important matters to ask you today."

"what?"

"The matter of the People's Party. After all, our People's Party can't always be in the dark, we must slowly surface. I think this law protection war is a good opportunity. After controlling the three provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou, the People's Party should come out .”

"That's what I've been thinking about too."

Yang Wei nodded.

Dao: "If a party wants to develop and gain more support, it must show its own political views. Only in this way can we attract party members and like-minded people in other provinces. But now the general's identity is sensitive, and Beiyang is still needed. The support of the government, so it is not appropriate to stand up directly. So I thought about this, we can go another way. At present, there are so many parties in the country, most of them are formed to participate in politics. In this case, we start from our People’s Party Among them, choose one or two academic and business leaders to stand up as the spokesperson of the People's Party and express some of the People's Party's ideas, so that the People's Party will not attract the attention of the above, but also attract more people by going out on the bright side. "

Duan Xun smiled.

really.

Yang Wei is really his right-hand man.Yang Wei had long considered for Duan Xun what he wanted to do.As long as Duan Xun serves as the border defense supervisor of the four provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou and Tibet, then Duan Xun will become the most powerful faction in the Southwest, and even within the Beiyang Army, he will no longer be a rising star, but will become a pivotal and powerful figure within the Beiyang Army.At that time, Duan Xun will even be able to sit on an equal footing with many Beiyang army bosses.At this time, it is normal for political factions to support Duan Xun.

People's Party?

It is estimated that there are many parties called the People's Party in the whole country.

Therefore, the appearance of a party in the southwest will not cause too much disturbance.As long as Duan Xun doesn't stand up and say that he is the leader of the People's Party, as long as Duan Xun's important generals don't show that he is a member of the People's Party, then everyone will not care.They will only think that the People's Party is a party for participating in politics and gaining a position in the political circle.

"That's right. You have to take your time, and you can't come out all at once. Brother Xinye, first of all, the officers of the army are absolutely not allowed to disclose the affairs of the People's Party members. And the high-level government is not allowed to get involved, so maybe I will be under pressure. Also, in terms of the party program of the People's Party, there are some things that are too sensitive, especially foreign things, so don't say it in public. This will also put pressure on me, and put pressure on our People's Party that has just surfaced. Therefore, my suggestion is that on the bright side, we mainly recruit young students and recruit party members in the academic circle. There must be iron discipline within the army, and everyone must be cautious.”

"I know."

"Then who do you think is more suitable to come forward?"

"Xiang Chu."

"Xian Qiao Gong."

Duan Xun was silent.

Duan Xun admired Xiang Chu's integrity.As the person currently in charge of the Sichuan government's industry, Duan Xun admires how clean and honest he is in the face of so much money coming and going from his hands.

Moreover, this person is very straightforward, and his temper is not small.Of course, this person is upright and honest, and what Duan Xun likes more is that Xiang Chu is capable.

Xiang Chu himself is a veteran revolutionary party, but after reading the party program of the People's Party, he decided to join the People's Party.How could Yang Wei not pay attention to the fact that Xiang Chu wanted to join the People's Party with such a big name.

But he didn't dare to go out in person.

Or arrange for the people below to go out and accept Xiang Chu into the People's Party.Xiang Chu, who has such seniority in the Revolutionary Party, did not put on airs after joining the People's Party, and was very willing to abide by the discipline of the People's Party.Even very supportive of the discipline of the People's Party.

"Yes. He is very suitable. First of all, he has enough reputation. He came from the Revolutionary Party, and the Revolutionary Party has very deep qualifications. Moreover, he is now the director of our Sichuan Administration Bureau, and he is also a number one in our Sichuan political circle. With his qualifications and identity, he can join a The People’s Party whose party platform is similar to the Tongmenghui’s Three People’s Principles should make sense.”

"kindness."

Duan Xun nodded.

The People's Party was established by Duan Xun alone. At present, the three provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou dare not say that the People's Party is everywhere, but it is definitely developing very smoothly.Moreover, there are not a few members of the People's Party who are political and military leaders in Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou.

But no one is fit to show up.

Xiang Chu is really the most suitable.So Duan Xun said: "Brother Xinye, this is it. I will talk to Xiang Chu personally, and I should let him know some things. And once he comes forward, we will cooperate closely with him in the future. There are some things he must know .”

"Xiang Chu happens to be in Chongqing at the moment, mainly discussing with Chongqing businessmen about the development of mineral resources around Chongqing and the Chengdu-Chongqing railway."

"Okay, I'll see Xiang Chu right away and talk to him."

"I'll make arrangements."

132 People's Party Development

"Xian Qiaogong, sit down quickly."

After Xiang Chu took over as director of the Sichuan Assets Management Bureau, he spent more time on Chongqing.Because compared to Chengdu, Chongqing has more actions.There are various economic activities in Chongqing, so Xiang Chu spends [-]% to [-]% of his time in Chongqing.

busy.

Xiang Chu was very busy, but the busier he was, the more energetic he became.This is Xiang Chu's character, he would be awkward when he has nothing to do, and the happier and more energetic he is when he has something to do.

"General Duan."

Although Xiang Chu is now working under Duan Xun's hands, and he is regarded as eating for Duan Xun, but Xiang Chu never thinks that he is working for Duan Xun.Although Xiang Chu is very sure of Duan Xun's ability, especially since Duan Xun took over Sichuan, Sichuan has been very stable.This was the most stable time in Sichuan after the Revolution of [-].Moreover, Duan Xun actively suppressed the bandits in Sichuan. Although he dare not say that he has wiped out all the bandits in Sichuan, he is much better than before.

And Duan Xun came to Sichuan to pay attention to agriculture, develop industry, and encourage business development, and he did a very good job.Although all the checkpoints in the province were not removed, the tax rate in the whole province was unified, which greatly strengthened the development of commerce.Anyway, after Duan Xun entered Chengdu, the development of Sichuan is obvious to all.

But Duan Xun's ability is affirmative, and Xiang Chu still keeps a respectful distance from Duan Xun, and he is not willing to have more contact with Duan Xun.Because Xiang Chu was always brooding about Duan Xun's background.
