Beiyang reactionaries

Because the troop roster is a very important thing.Once this thing is handed over, the strength of the troops will be directly exposed to the eyes of others.

"anything else?"

"Our gendarmerie must be stationed in your army, and your army must set up a military discipline department. These must be dispatched by us. As long as your army is subordinate to our army, then your army must accept our army The first thing in the reorganization of the army is to learn our military discipline, and no violation of military discipline is allowed from top to bottom. Anyone who violates military discipline will be dealt with in accordance with military regulations. There is no room for negotiation.”

military discipline.

This is Duan Xun's most important thing.

Although all provinces are very xenophobic now, it is for those upper classes.For ordinary people, who will rule this world is really not of much interest.They just want a secure life.

The most feared are soldiers and bandits.

Therefore, Duan Xun attaches great importance to military discipline. Only iron discipline can win the support of the local people.Therefore, we can make concessions in other aspects, but we must not make concessions in terms of military discipline.

"anything else?"

Yuan Zuming asked calmly.

"In our army, the army does not have any right to collect local taxes. The third point is that we will manage the logistics of your army from now on. We will provide your troops with military pay, weapons and ammunition strictly according to the number of people on the roster. But there are One thing we can guarantee is that there is no difference in our troops. The salaries of the troops are all the same, and there will be no discrimination."

Yuan Zuming stroked his mustache and fell silent.

If he agrees to all of this, he will really only be able to listen to Duan Xun's words in the future.Although there is some autonomy, the important lifeline is also in the hands of Duan Xun. This is not what Yuan Zuming wants, so he asked: "If I agree to everything, what benefits will Commander Duan give me? I can't listen to Commander Duan everything. Commander Duan didn't give me any favors."

"As long as you agree, Dingqing, then your troops will be reorganized into the Seventh Division of the Southwest Frontier Defense Army, and our general will immediately appoint you as the commander of the Seventh Division of the Southwest Frontier Defense Army, and will give you two infantry brigades. Make up 1 people."

"A full staff of 1 people?"

Yuan Zuming was slightly moved.

The Guizhou army was constrained by Guizhou's economic backwardness, so the regular army was only 2 when it was the largest.Even when Wang Wenhua was powerful in Guizhou, he had no more than five regiments of 1 people.

Now that Duan Xun is willing to let himself expand by [-], Duan Xun must be responsible for all the military pay, weapons and ammunition needed, and it is not an unacceptable condition.

"What can you say about this expansion?"

"Our general is willing to give Dingqing enough autonomy and will not interfere too much. I know Dingqing that you are worried that our general will annex your troops, but you underestimate our general. Our general's goal is to succeed Premier Duan in the future, no It will leave people with the reputation of annexing other people's troops and killing others. So you can rest assured that the expansion of your troops this time is entirely up to you, including the arrangements of officers, and our generals will not interfere. And for To support you, our general will specially give you another benefit."

"what?"

"Recently, our army has expanded too much, so there is a serious shortage of officers. So we dig people everywhere. Just recently, there is a surplus of officers in the Yunnan Army, and the graduates from the Yunnan Lecture Hall have nowhere to go, so General Gu Pinzhen formed a student group. Our general quietly People from these student groups have been contacted to recruit our troops. It happens that your troops are going to expand, so you can choose from among them."

"This……"

Although he is a graduate of the Yunnan Lecture Hall, Yuan Zuming was a little apprehensive about Duan Xun's recommendation.I'm afraid that this is Duan Xun mixing sand with his troops.Seeing Yuan Zuming's appearance, Deng Hanxiang knew what Yuan Zuming was worried about, so he smiled and said: "Dingqing, our general is just to show our support for you. This time, there will be not a few students from the lecture hall in Sichuan, but hundreds of them. One. Our general allows you to send someone to select first. Of course, if you don’t want it, then our troops will want it all themselves, this is not an order.”

Only then did Yuan Zuming feel relieved.

Also.

It has been more than half a year since Duan Xun drove Tang Jiyao away, and the Yunnan Lecture Hall is still under the control of the Yunnan Army.These graduates of the lecture hall came to Duan Xun to try their luck just because they couldn't find a job in the Yunnan Army.

Before Duan Xun wins them over, he digs some people into his army, and these people can easily become his direct officers.Yuan Zuming, as an excellent army general, understands the importance of grassroots officers better than anyone else.Moreover, Yuan Zuming knew better the gold content of the students in Yunnan Lecture Hall.

When I have 1 people, I can still bargain with Duan Xun.As long as there is an army in hand, there will always be enough chips.Anyway, Duan Xun will not interfere with the personnel arrangement of the army, so the army is always controlled by himself.So what if you let your military discipline department and your logistics department come in?

I just want my troops.

"Okay. Ming Jie, tell Commander Duan that I accept his appointment. However, I need at least 50 students in the Yunnan Lecture Hall, and I have to pick my students first. As for the reorganization of the troops, Commander Duan cannot interfere with me. personnel arrangements."

"no problem."

Deng Hanxiang smiled slightly.

As long as you want this batch of students, one-third of your troops will not belong to you.After a while, half of your troops will not belong to you anymore.It's useless for you to worry about it.

"Then about the Overseer Power Plan?"

"I resign from the post of Guizhou military governor."

Yuan Zuming immediately expressed his opinion.This warlord has no power now, and it is meaningless to be a warlord. Mastering the troops is the most important thing.Therefore, Yuan Zuming immediately stated that he would resign from the post of Guizhou Governor.

"Dingqing, you and I are going to eat in the same trench again."

138 Department of Political Science

"General Duan, I have admired your name for a long time."

"Mr. Yang, each other each other."

Duan Xun was puzzled, but he received Yang Yongtai with a smile on his face.During this period of time, Duan Xun was busy expanding the army and dealing with the Hunan issue, but he never thought that a representative of the Guangdong military government would come to him.

Of course this is not a rare thing.

Regardless of the fact that the north and the south are fighting to the death, in fact, the negotiations between the two parties have never been interrupted.Private exchanges between various warlords and the Guangdong military government were even more frequent.It's just that I didn't expect that it was the famous Yang Yongtai who came to find me today.

Although he has never met Yang Yongtai, he is very familiar with his name.It is estimated that as long as future generations know a little about the history of the Republic of China, they will know that Yang Yongtai, Chiang Kai-shek's staff, is also the core figure of the "Department of Political Science".

But this man was not only a man of the hour in the era of Chiang Kai-shek, but also a man of the day in the era of the Beiyang government.

As early as the end of the Qing Dynasty, Yang Yongtai was a member of the Guangdong Provincial Consultative Council.Later, when the Republic of China was established, Yang Yongtai became a member of Congress again. In 1914, Yuan Shikai abolished the National Assembly, and Yang Yongtai was forced to go south, and later joined Huang Xing's European Affairs Research Association.Here Yang Yongtai began to contact the Kuomintang, and then joined Sun Yat-sen's Chinese Revolutionary Party.

Yang Yongtai is very capable, and Sun Yat-sen also thinks highly of him.

When the War to Protect the Nation broke out, Yang Yongtai went south to Yunnan and joined the Yunnan Army at that time.But instead of defecting to Cai E, he defected to Li Liejun, a leader of the Revolutionary Party.Following Li Liejun's Second National Defense Army into Guangdong, he was appointed by Li Liejun as the Finance Director of the Second National Defense Army Command.Later, Li Liejun recommended Yang Yongtai as the director of the Finance Department of Zhaoqing Military Affairs Academy.Because Yang Yongtai is from Cantonese, he has a wide network of contacts in Guangdong.When he was the director of the Finance Department, he was very skillful in raising funds and preparing food and grass, and was highly praised by the leaders of the National Defense Army.

After the War to Protect the Country, Yang Yongtai returned to Beijing and continued to serve as a member of Congress.Later, the war to protect the law began, and Yang Yongtai went south to Guangdong again to participate in the war to protect the law.Sun Yat-sen was very excited about Yang Yongtai's arrival and admired Yang Yongtai's talent very much, so he planned to appoint him as the director of the Finance Department of the Guangdong military government.

But that's not all.

Yang Yongtai is not a man of integrity in politics.At this time, he defected to Sun Yat-sen, but in history, he joined forces with Cen Chunxuan and Lu Rongting in the Southwest to reorganize the military government to protect France and drive away Sun Yat-sen.He was hated by Sun Yat-sen and his revolutionary party, especially Hu Hanmin.It also led to Yang Yongtai being constantly suppressed by Hu Hanmin when he defected to Chiang Kai-shek, which was also caused by this incident.

At the end of the first law protection war, Sun Yat-sen joined forces with Chen Jiongming and Xu Chongzhi to counterattack Guangdong and drove away Lu Rongting.Sun Yat-sen's people wanted to liquidate Yang Yongtai, so Yang Yongtai went north and defected to Cao Kun.And because Cao Kun bribed the election, he chose to retire.

Then relying on the recommendation of Huang Yu and Xiong Shihui, he joined Chiang Kai-shek's staff team.In fact, Chiang Kai-shek didn't like Yang Yongtai, because in Chiang Kai-shek's view, Yang Yongtai's political integrity was too bad.He took refuge in Yuan Shikai, Duan Qirui, Sun Yat-sen, Lu Rongting and Cen Chunxuan, and Cao Kun later.In particular, Sun Yat-sen was cheated in the war of protecting the law, which made Chiang Kai-shek very dislike Yang Yongtai.However, at that time, the party power of the Kuomintang was in the hands of Wang Jingwei and Hu Hanmin, so Chiang Kai-shek had to introduce some famous people to join him to suppress them.Therefore, although he didn't like Yang Yongtai, he still accepted Yang Yongtai, but Yang Yongtai's position was not high in the first few years when he joined Chiang Kai-shek.It's just that Yang Yongtai used his talent to impress Chiang Kai-shek, so he was promoted step by step.

In fact, before Yang Yongtai took refuge in Chiang Kai-shek, he originally wanted to take refuge in Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi.However, Li Zongren disliked Yang Yongtai's poor integrity and did not accept Yang Yongtai.Only then did Yang Yongtai defect to Chiang Kai-shek.

Now, Yang Yongtai should be working under Sun Yat-sen in the Dharma-protecting military government, how could he come to Chongqing.

Duan Xun didn't understand his purpose.

The two of them didn't immediately get to the point, but slowly sipped tea and talked about some digressions.Duan Xun is still busy now, with countless things to do.So he put down the teacup and said first, "Mr. Yang, you should be in Guangdong at this time. Somehow you came to our Chongqing."

Yang Yongtai's Qi-nourishing skills are absolutely amazing.

He came to find Duan Xun, but he was not in a hurry.It wasn't until Duan Xun spoke that he smiled slowly and said, "General Duan, I'm here for peace."
