Beiyang reactionaries

For China, a family-oriented society, it is the most realistic portrayal.And in this era, everyone believes in their own family the most.In the world of family and country, most Chinese people take care of their family first, and then talk about the country.

Before Duan Xun was released, there was a letter from his hometown long ago, wanting to let the soldiers from his hometown follow Duan Xun.

But Duan Xun refused.

Because Duan Xun had only one regiment at that time, he had no time to support his brothers.

But not this time.Duan Xun became the commander of the No.20 Ninth Brigade of the Army this time, and he has three regiments under his command.It's hard to refuse when my hometown makes this suggestion again.If he refuses again, he will be scolded by his hometown people.Many children of the Duan family also wanted to rely on Duan Xun's thick legs to join the army and get promoted.

Therefore, Duan Xun can only agree to come from his hometown.

Of course, the soldiers in the hometown are good, that is loyalty.These people followed me from their hometown, they were my hometown soldiers, and they must be the most loyal people in Duan Xun's army.Many military officers now have such a group of people under their command.

Duan Xun asked to recruit a battalion of soldiers in his hometown, and it was his second brother Duan Yong who brought these people.

"sit."

My younger brother also studied since he was a child, but the imperial court canceled the imperial examination, so he can only go to a new school.Later, he entered the Shandong Patrol Academy and became a policeman after graduation.

This time he was promoted, and his younger brother also wanted to join the army, so he came to join Duan Xun.

"Degan, since you have defected to me, there are some things I must warn you about."

"Brother, tell me."

"You are my younger brother. I will never be stingy with the opportunities and positions that should be given to you. But if you embarrass me, I will not condone you. If you want a good position, you can only fight for it yourself .I will not give you a random position just because you are my younger brother."

"Brother, don't worry. I won't embarrass you."

Duan Yong patted his chest to assure.

Duan Xun stared at Duan Yong seriously and said: "Your elder brother, I am not someone who is only satisfied with the position of brigade commander. In the future, I will also be a division commander, a governor of a province, and the chief of the army department. So although you are my Brother, but I will be extra strict with you. You and these brothers in our clan have not received formal military education, so you have to study for me for a while before leading the army."

"Yes."

Although the two are only one year apart, Duan Xun is the boss of this generation and the future head of the Duan family.He is currently the best member of the Duan family, so Duan Yong is still a little afraid of his elder brother.

When we were young, we studied and played together, but the two hadn't had a good chat for many years before they grew up.

"Go back and tell those brothers who have defected to me, including the third brother. Since you have defected to me, as long as you work hard, there will be plenty of official positions. But if anyone dares to flaunt my brotherhood outside, don't blame me for not thinking of family affection."

"Yes."

"Degan, I am doing this for your own good. I plan to use these soldiers from my hometown to set up a guard camp, and you will be the battalion commander of the guard camp for me. Of course, you have to learn how to fight for me before. By the way, you bring Among the people who came, many have gone to school, right?"

Although the Duan family is just a small local tyrant in the countryside, they also have their own Duan family private school in the countryside.As long as they are children of the Duan family, they will go to private schools when they were young.Even some families around the Duan family, as well as some in-laws of the Duan family, would put their disciples into the Duan family's private school.This time, many young people came to Duan's house.

Duan Yong has recruited more than 400 people in Yanzhou. There are more than 30 people from the Duan family and the Duan family's in-laws, all of which need to be arranged by Duan Xun.But Duan Xun was very happy to see so many people who had read the book at one time.

"Basically all have been to school. But many people can read and understand."

"That's enough. You pick three or four who are good at studying and let them work as clerks in my brigade."

"Yes."

"There is still time for you to arrange for me. The hundreds of people you brought from your hometown, first teach them to recognize characters. Let them understand the simplest and most commonly used characters."

Duan Yong frowned, and said, "Brother, you're just a bunch of mud legs, as long as you can fight, learn any words."

"What do you know? This is the military discipline I made, and some other things, you take it back and have a good look at it. And let the people who come with you take a good look. If anyone can't stand the military discipline I specified, get it as soon as possible." Leave the army. If anyone violates discipline, I will not forgive him."

"Yes."

"Also, get rid of your stinky airs as a scholar. Our Duan family is not a wealthy family. Our ancestors are just ordinary mud-legged people. Let me tell you, these people can save your life on the battlefield. If they are better, they will try their best to save you on the battlefield, and they will work hard for you."

…………

"Brother Jing'an, how is the recruiting situation?"

"There's nothing wrong with recruiting soldiers. There are a lot of people who want to serve as soldiers. As long as they have money, it's easy to do. But there is a shortage of officers. We simply can't find so many officers as the three regiments need."

Three regiments.

Even if the various institutions of the brigade and regiment headquarters are not perfect, at least dozens of officers at the company level are needed, or even hundreds of them.There are countless platoon officers.In today's China, even the students who graduated from Baoding Military Academy are trained first and then arranged to become platoon leaders. Only those who have studied well can become company commanders.

Under such circumstances, how could Duan Xun have so many officers.

This is the most annoying thing.

There are many soldiers, but a shortage of officers.

"Brother Jing'an, it seems that the establishment of the three regiments cannot be fully recruited now. What I mean is that in addition to the first regiment, the guard battalion, special agent battalion, cavalry battalion, and artillery battalion will be added."

"How to arrange this?"

"Wan Xuancai's special agent company was expanded into a special agent battalion, and Wan Xuancai was appointed as the battalion commander. Yu Xuezhong was transferred from the first battalion to organize a cavalry battalion and let him serve as the commander of the cavalry battalion. Fang Dingying is willing to come to our army. Let him form an artillery battalion. As for the troops from my hometown, they will form a guard battalion. These troops are formed while training officers. From now on, they will be divided into an officer brigade and a teaching brigade. The second phase of the teaching brigade will be recruited, and the quota will be expanded to 80 people, a three-month study, training class platoon-level officers, mainly based on the textbooks of the first period, let Xu Yongchang serve as the captain. Then form an officer brigade, with a quota of 30 people, for the same three-month period, training battalions and companies I am a senior officer, and I personally serve as the captain. These people are not off duty for training.”

Officers are Duan Xun's most important thing.

Duan Xun wants to ensure that most of the officers in his current army are trained by himself, and let them all become his students.Use this relationship now to maintain control of your troops.

"Training officers while building an army?"

Jiang Hongyu nodded slowly.

If it is just to form an army, then it is much simpler.However, whether Duan Xun or Jiang Hongyu wanted to form a powerful army.So unwilling to settle down.

It is a good idea to form an army while training officers.

"Degong (Duan Xun), there is something I don't know if I should say it or not."

"Say, there's no need to hide between you and me."

"We are currently extremely short of officers. In fact, there is a way to quickly call some officers to our use."

"any solution?"

Duan Xun was very troubled by the matter of the officer.After all, the training of military officers cannot be done in a short while.Most of the training of officers in the form of short-term teaching brigades is to train the most grassroots officers of some squads and platoons.

There are too many illiterates in Duan Xun's troops. It is not so easy for them to be literate and learn the most basic military knowledge within a few months.During this period of time, Duan Xun thought of many ways, but he didn't think of how to solve the current situation of extreme shortage of officers.

So when he heard that Jiang Hongyu had a solution, Duan Xun immediately asked.

"south."

"south?"

Duan Xun was taken aback for a moment, but soon understood what Jiang Hongyu meant.The second revolution was defeated, the southern army threw away its helmets and armor, and many troops collapsed.Many army officers, including many military school students also participated in the Second Revolution.But the second revolution failed, and these people were scattered all over the place.
