Beiyang reactionaries

Duan Xun shrugged.

Duan Xun has been a teacher at Baoding Military Academy for nearly three years, and he has taught quite a few students.Over the past three years, it is estimated that the number of students taught has not been one thousand, but eight hundred.It is impossible for Duan Xun to know everyone.

Li Pinxian really has no impression of this person.On the contrary, Duan Xun knew that this person was a general of the Gui Army in history.

"Is he from Hunan? Is he also in the Hunan Army?"

"Teacher, Li Pinxian is from Guangxi. After graduating from Baoding Military Academy, he joined the Gui Army. But Lu Rongting's Gui Army doesn't like us students from Baoding Military Academy, or his troops don't like us military students. Gui Jun stayed for two years without even a real job, and was always an intern there. So he left Gui Jun and went to Hunan Army. But he is from Guangxi after all, and his development in Hunan Army is not very smooth. He is an acting company commander. In fact, teacher, although Li Pinxian’s grades in school were not as high as mine, but his military skills are very solid, and his leadership is very unique. If he was in our army, he should be a regiment commander at worst now .”

Tang Shengzhi still had a high opinion of his old classmate.

Duan Xun nodded.

Although Duan Xun didn't have much impression of Li Pinxian in the military academy, he knew that this person had left a great reputation in history.I didn't expect to be in such a miserable situation in the Hunan Army.He graduated from Baoding Military Academy for more than three years and participated in the War to Protect the Country, so he is an acting company commander.This speed of promotion is really appalling.

"That Liu Xing, is he the one who beat the instructor with you in Baoding Military Academy and was expelled?"

"Yes."

"He's interesting."

Duan Xun smiled.

Although Li Pinxian didn't have much impression, Duan Xun had a deep impression of Liu Xing.Because this person did a sensational thing in Baoding Military Academy, he, together with Tang Shengzhi in front of him, and several other students beat up their instructor.At that time, the school of Baoding Military Academy was furious. After all, beating an instructor was too serious.

Tang Shengzhi was not a peaceful person since he was a child.

Always been bold.

In 1908, when Tang Shengzhi was still a young man, Hunan Army Elementary School was holding a mourning ceremony for Guangxu and Cixi, but Tang Shengzhi laughed and was punished by the school.When I arrived in Baoding, I joined other students and beat up my own instructor.

But Tang Shengzhi is really good.

Because from Army Elementary School to Army Middle School, to Baoding Military Academy, Tang Shengzhi's grades have always been among the best.So every time he commits a crime, the school always forgives him.But those who made trouble with him were unlucky.

Just like this Liu Xing.

Because he and Tang Shengzhi made trouble together, beat the instructor together, and were expelled together with several students who made trouble at that time.Fortunately, Baoding Military Academy later gave them a chance to drop them to a first grade, so Liu Xing changed from a student of the first period of Baoding Military Academy to a student of the second period.

"What is he doing now?"

"He graduated two years later than Li Pinxian, but he is already a company commander in the Hunan Army."

"The Hunan army looks very xenophobic."

Duan Xun also smiled.

Li Pinxian is a senior from Baoding Military Academy. He graduated two years earlier. He has experience and education. He even fought with the army in the War to Protect the Country, but he was only an acting company commander in the Hunan Army.And Liu Xing graduated two years later, but he is already a company commander, not an agent.

Actually, what is the difference between Li Pinxian and Liu Xing?

The biggest difference is that Li Pinxian is from Guangxi, and Liu Xing is from Hunan.Liu Xing went to Hunan Army Primary School and had a large number of classmates in Hunan.Therefore, promotion will not be a big problem, as long as there is a slight chance to be promoted to battalion commander or regiment commander, it is not a problem.

"Any more?"

"He Yaozu."

"Is he also your classmate?"

"Yes, teacher. He Yaozu is my classmate in Hunan Army Primary School and Wuchang Army Middle School. However, his grades in Wuchang Army Middle School were very good, and he was the best among our group of students. So he was directly selected to study in Japan. Graduated from the Japanese Non-commissioned Officer Academy. Now he is the head of the Second Division of the Hunan Army."

"kindness."

"Teacher, besides the three of them, although I still have some classmates, I don't have much contact with them now. It's just that I have some correspondence with the three of them occasionally."

Tang Jiyao did not hide it.

After all, Tang Jiyao has been away from Hunan for too long, and he has little relationship with the Hunan Army.I have contact with these three people because I have a good relationship with them.Even Tang Shengzhi, who knew Li Pinxian the latest, has known each other for almost ten years.

"Do you know why I ask you these things?"

"Teacher, say it."

"Hunan is fighting again, you may have heard of it. Regardless of the outcome of the battle of Yueyang, Hunan will become a battlefield again. As the commander of the third crusade appointed by Beijing, I will definitely send troops to join the battle. "

"is teacher."

Hunan is Tang Shengzhi's hometown.

Of course Tang Shengzhi was unwilling to fight in Hunan.But whoever puts Hunan in the middle, as long as there is a war, Hunan cannot be separated.When the southern army wanted to make a northern expedition, Hunan was the only way to go.And if the Beiyang army wants to unify by force, Hunan is also the only way to go.

"There will be a mixture of fish and dragons. At that time, Hunan will be a mixture of fish and dragons. At that time, Hunan will have Cao Kun's Zhili troops, Zhang Huaizhi's Shandong troops, Zhou Ti's Henan army, Ni Sichong's Anhui army, Zhang Jingyao's seventh division, Feng Yuxiang's The No.16 Mixed Brigade and the disbanded troops of Wang Ruxian and Fan Guozhang, as well as the Hunan Army, Guangxi Army, and Guangdong Army in the south, including our troops. Among these troops, in addition to our troops, Feng Yuxiang’s No.16 Mixed Brigade, Cao Cao’s Kun’s Third Division, Zhili’s Second Mixed Brigade, and Zhili’s Third Mixed Brigade should have good military discipline. Zhou Ti’s Henan Army, Ni Sichong’s Anhui Army, and Zhang Jingyao’s Seventh Division have poor military discipline. Lu Rongting’s Gui The military discipline of the Guangxi Army and the Cantonese Army is also average. During this period of time, the Guangxi Army and the Guangdong Army were in Changsha, and the military discipline was not very good. So many troops entering Hunan will definitely bring great harm to the people of Hunan."

"Teacher, that's how war is."

Tang Shengzhi sighed.

In the current army, neither robbing, killing, nor robbing women is regarded as a good military discipline.Not giving money for food, extortion, and petty theft are all common things, so it is said that the army and bandits are a family.Now that so many troops from different places and different formations are pouring into Hunan, Hunan will really suffer.

In fact, this is the case with the Beiyang Army, and the Southern Army is not so good.

The Guangxi Army and the Guangdong Army caused a lot of trouble in Changsha during this period, and their military discipline was very poor.This caused many conflicts between these troops and the Hunan local troops in Hunan.

"Meng Xiao (Tang Shengzhi), that's why I transferred you back from the Sixth Division. You are from Hunan, and you have always been in a military academy. There are many teachers, fellow villagers, and classmates in the Hunan Army."

Although Tang Shengzhi didn't have much contact with the Hunan Army, he was an officer from Hunan after all.Many senior officers of the Hunan Army were Tang Shengzhi's teachers in Hunan Army Primary School, and many were his seniors, classmates, and juniors in Hunan Army Primary School and Wuchang Army Middle School.As long as you really look for it, your network is still very wide.In particular, Tang Shengzhi's grades have been very good since he was in the Army Primary School, and he knows more people.

"Teacher, what do you mean?"

Tang Shengzhi didn't quite understand what Duan Xun meant.

If I really look for a relationship, I can get in touch with many officers in the Hunan Army.But what is the use of contact.As far as I am concerned, it is not bad if I do ordinary things, but I can't let myself organize them, right?

To reorganize the Hunan Army, it would be impossible for an officer of his level to do so.

"Because Hunan is too chaotic at the moment, I plan to send a military police brigade to Hunan. It is responsible for the military discipline of the troops in Hunan. I want you to be in charge of this military police force. After entering Hunan, give me a strict military discipline. I can Certainly, as long as the soldiers are overwhelmed, it will be a matter of time before the law enforcement army loses Hunan. At that time, you will take the gendarmerie and follow the Fifth Division into Changsha. After entering Changsha, I will allow you to kill. It doesn’t matter whose army Violation of military discipline, things that disturb the local area, don't worry about anything, I will shoot them all. If anyone comes to you, let him send me a telegram himself."

"Teacher, what about the troops of Cao Kun, Zhou Ti, Zhang Jingyao, and Ni Sichong?"

Tang Shengzhi asked Duan Xun nervously.

Tang Shengzhi was not afraid of ordinary troops of the Beiyang Army.However, Cao Kun, Governor of Zhili, Zhang Huaizhi, Governor of Shandong, Zhou Ti, Governor of Henan, Zhang Jingyao, Commander of the Seventh Division, and Ni Sichong, Governor of Anhui, all had much more seniority in the Beiyang Army than Duan Xun.Each of them has more influence in the Beiyang Army than Duan Xun.

Can these people be offended?

"There is no exception, no matter who it is, as long as you enter Changsha, you should be arrested or killed. You have to let the people of Hunan see what kind of army we are and what kind of army they are, and they must know how to distinguish them. Especially let Hunan The army saw that our trip to Hunan is definitely not to harm Hunan. And you will not be in Changsha for long, so you should kill more people."

"Teacher, I don't quite understand. Isn't the purpose of the teacher to control Hunan? How can you say that we won't be in Changsha for long?"
