Beiyang reactionaries

Once Duan Xun gets married, Duan Qirui and Duan Xun will be in-laws, and the relationship will go further than it is now.Therefore, Duan Qirui attaches great importance to Duan Xun.For the past two months, Duan Qirui has always put Duan Xun by his side, not only for Duan Xun to be his staff, but also for Duan Xun to learn to look at problems at a higher level.

"De Gong, I'll give you a present."

Duan Xun immediately looked at Duan Qirui.

gift.

What kind of person is Duan Qirui? When people like Duan Qirui talk about gifts, they must be such a good thing.Seeing Duan Xun's expectant look, Duan Qirui smiled and said: "Bai Lang entered Shaanxi from Jingziguan, and our troops will also enter Shaanxi to suppress bandits. The Ministry of the Army decided to reorganize Lu Jianzhang's troops into the army's first The Seventh Division followed Bai Lang into Shaanxi. However, the Ministry of the Army believed that the Seventh Division's strength was a bit weak, so I planned to send Liu Zhenhua's Zhensong Army into Shaanxi to suppress the bandits. Anyway, the Zhensong Army was also a unit of Zhang Fang in Shaanxi two years ago .”

Duan Xun was overjoyed.

When I told Duan Qirui back then, how could Duan Qirui not understand what Duan Xun meant when he drove Bai Lang to Shaanxi.Even Duan Qirui originally thought about it that way.Among the several northern provinces, Shaanxi is the most restless.Originally Shaanxi and Shanxi were the only two provinces controlled by the revolutionary party.But Yan Xishan in Shanxi is a standard wall grass, he will fall wherever the wind blows.

Although he participated in the revolution in the year of [-], he quickly fell to the Beiyang army, and then forced many old revolutionary parties in Shanxi to leave Shanxi.In comparison, there are many militia groups in Shaanxi, and there are also many revolutionary parties.

Moreover, Shaanxi's geographical location is very important, and the Beiyang government has been eyeing Shaanxi.Just never had the chance.Although Zhang Fenghui in Shaanxi expressed his loyalty like Yuan Shikai, the Beiyang Army was always worried about Zhang Fenghui.Now that Bai Lang is entering Shaanxi, this excuse is really good.

The Beiyang army now has enough excuses to enter Shaanxi. As for whether the army can get out after entering Shaanxi, it is hard to say.

Duan Qirui gave Duan Xun a gift, that is, to send the Zhensong Army in western Henan to Shaanxi.After all, the Zhensong Army is a local snake in the west of Henan. As long as the Zhensong Army is in the west of Henan for one day, Duan Xun will be restricted by them.

Now that Duan Qirui sent them away directly, Duan Xun was left with an army in western Henan.At that time, Yuxi will really belong to him.

"Thank you, teacher."

Duan Xun failed to hide the joy in his heart.

He immediately stood up and thanked Duan Qirui for his support.

"I will soon appoint you as the tour envoy in western Henan, concurrently as the commander-in-chief of the western Henan bandit suppression, and the commander-in-chief of the western Henan militia. Your No. 20 brigade was reorganized into the 29th mixed brigade, with four infantry regiments and one artillery regiment under its jurisdiction .”

generous.

Duan Qirui is very generous.

In a few moments, the establishment of a mixed brigade fell to Duan Xun.And it's not an ordinary mixed brigade.Four infantry regiments, one artillery regiment, and the entire mixed brigade of the Beiyang Army, there is no larger mixed brigade than Duan Xun's.

Moreover, Duan Xun also served as the commander-in-chief of the western Henan militia, and all the militias in western Henan must accept Duan Xun's orders.

The places Duan Xun wants to control are more than [-] counties, and there are still quite a few militia groups.As long as this appointment is made, Duan Xun will become a veritable King of Western Henan, and the entire Western Henan will be under Duan Xun's control.

"Teacher, I have a request."

"You said."

"Teacher, at the Gyeonggi Military Discipline and Law Enforcement Office, there is a person who has been imprisoned for being implicated in the KMT's rebellion some time ago. I want to bail him out."

"Who?"

"Shang Zhen."

"Is this person the Kuomintang?"

"It used to be a revolutionary party, but he definitely did not participate in this rebellion. He himself is in Beijing, and it is impossible for him to participate in the rebellion. Teacher, I am willing to guarantee him that he will definitely not participate in those messy things of the revolutionary party in the future."

"Who is he from you?"

"We used to be classmates when we were in school in Baoding. He is brave and resourceful, alert and capable, and he is a general."

Duan Xun has already begun to contact those officers who participated in the Second Revolution scattered all over the place.Now the Kuomintang has suffered a disastrous defeat, and even the Kuomintang has been banned by Yuan Shikai and turned into an illegal gang.Many scattered officers are trying to find their way.

Shang Zhen is one of them.

Shang Zhen was not a quiet person when he was in Baoding Military Academy, so he was named by the school.During the Revolution of [-], they were also very active.But since I went to Beijing, I have become a lot more honest.This time the second revolution, Shang Zhen, as an officer of the revolutionary party who was active, was also implicated and was arrested by the Gyeonggi Military Discipline and Law Enforcement Office.

Duan Xun wants to bail him out.

That's why I told Duan Qirui.

"I see. You go back first and bring your people to the Lu family. Don't let Bai Lang's troops go north into Shanzhou. You must force him to enter Shaanxi from Jingziguan."

"Yes."

22 King of Western Henan

"Congratulations Commander."

After two months, Duan Xun returned to Luoning.

Duan Xun was promoted to patrol envoy in western Henan, commander-in-chief of bandit suppression in western Henan, commander-in-chief of the western Henan militia, and was appointed as the commander of the No. 20 Ninth Mixed Brigade, and he also arrived at the same time.That is to say, from now on, Duan Xun has officially become the highest-ranking person in this area of ​​Western Henan.Especially after the order of the Zhensong Army to follow Lu Jianzhang into Shaanxi came, Western Henan really became Duan Xun's Western Henan.The local powerful factions who had little contact with Duan Xun's department also rushed over immediately to curry favor with Duan Xun.

The officers of Duan Xun's department were happier than each other.After all, when Duan Xun is promoted, these people will also be promoted along with Duan Xun.Their current fate is connected with Duan Xun.

More importantly, Duan Xun has four infantry regiments and one artillery regiment in his hands.

That is to say, many people can be promoted.In the current Chinese military sequence, the battalion and company ranks belong to the grassroots officers.But once you reach the regiment level, the level is no longer there.In other words, in the position of head of the Beiyang Army, he is already a middle and senior officer.

"Sit all."

"Yes."

Sitting on it, Duan Xun looked at his officers and knew in his heart that they were the capital for his rise in this troubled world.Although these people have their own ideas, at least for now, they are all officers of their own lineage.With their own rise, they will also rise with Duan Xun.

"Tell me what happened during this period. Chief of Staff, you start talking."

"commander."

Jiang Hongyu stood up first, and said: "The trip to the Army Middle School went smoothly. I have persuaded [-] students from Wuchang Army Middle School to come to our army for internship. This is their basic information, and the following are their grades in school."

"Let me see."

Duan Xun took a look.Sure enough, Wuchang Army Middle School had a great reputation, and all of their students were people whom Duan Xun was familiar with.For example, Bai Chongxi in Guangxi and Tao Zhiyue in Hunan are all students who graduated from Wuchang Army Middle School this year.He was abducted by Jiang Hongyu to his army.

In fact, even if it is not Duan Xun, they all need to practice in the army after graduating from the army middle school.After strength, some people will stay in the army.And some people will choose to continue their studies, that is, enter Baoding Military Academy for further studies.

The conditions offered by Jiang Hongyu were very good. He practiced for three months and was directly appointed as a platoon officer.At this stage, you are graduating from Baoding Military Academy, and you will also serve as a platoon leader after an internship.

Therefore, it attracted many students from the Army Middle School.

"it is good."

Fourteen people, that is, fourteen platoon leaders.For Duan Xun, who has four infantry regiments and one artillery regiment, this officer is a drop in the bucket.But something is better than nothing, fourteen people are fourteen people.

Therefore, Duan Xun said: "Chief of Staff, since these students are here for an internship, they should first arrange to enter the teaching brigade to study. Learn the military discipline of our army and learn our army's tactics. Grades place them."

"Yes."

"I'll take some time to meet these students."
