Beiyang reactionaries

Duan Xun's troops are different from other Chinese troops.No matter in terms of military discipline or the tactics of the troops, they are different from the Chinese troops.What these students have learned in the military academy, they have to be trained at Duan Xun's place before they can use it.

"And I've already contacted Principal Qu. Let's start early and draw more students from this year's Army University."

"it is good."

Qu Tongfeng, who is currently the principal of the Army University, is also a member of the Anhui Department in the hands of Duan Qirui.

Baoding Military Academy.

In terms of gold content, only Yunnan Jiangwu Hall can compare with it in China at present.Of course, he is qualified to compare, but in terms of real strength, he really can't compare with Baoding Military Academy.Therefore, it is definitely the most cost-effective thing to draw a few students from Baoding Military Academy.Duan Xun was very satisfied with Jiang Hongyu's work.

"Yu Xuezhong."

"arrive."

"Tell me about the effect of suppressing bandits during this period."

"Yes. In the past two months, our anti-bandit detachment has made 230 attacks in total and destroyed 320 hilltops. 830 people were killed, [-] people were wounded, and [-] people were captured. The hills in Ning, Xin'an, and Yiyang. But the hills that are farther away have not been in time yet."

"good."

Duan Xun nodded.

The two newly formed battalions of the bandit suppression detachment were able to wipe out the bandits in Luoning, Xin'an, and Yiyang, and the results have been very remarkable.Suppressing bandits can not only gain the support of the people, but also train the team. There is nothing better than this.

Duan Xun is quite satisfied with the achievements of Yu Xuezhong and Wan Xuancai in suppressing bandits.

"Zhang Shichen."

"arrive."

"What about the capture?"

"390 six rifles, one heavy machine gun, three old cannons, 70 taels of gold, two thousand four hundred and thirty seven silver dollars, and more than 430 catties of flour."

"So poor?"

Duan Xun didn't expect these bandits to be so poor.

But it is.

Whoever stipulates that bandits must be rich.Moreover, since the Zhensong Army has vigorously suppressed the bandits, the life of the bandits in western Henan has also been difficult.After Duan Xun came, the life of the bandits became even more difficult.

Moreover, the west of Henan was already poor, so it is understandable that the bandits were also poor.

"How did you deal with those wounded and prisoners?"

"If there is a murder case, if there is a lot of public grievances, they are going to be executed publicly, and they wait for the commander to come and nod and sign. Some small bandits let them fend for themselves, so they let them go, and some who are willing to stay in the army, they stay. Those wounded, they should Treatment for treatment, for those with serious injuries..."

"good."

Duan Xun nodded.

"In future wars, wounded and prisoners will be treated in this way. If the people are very angry, they will be executed publicly to deter those bandits and cheer up the people. From now on, western Henan will be our western Henan. We want the people in western Henan to know that we are the same as before. The army is different."

"Yes."

"Xu Yongchang."

"arrive."

"How about the officer group and the teaching group?"

"It's relatively smooth. The students of the second period have already reached the time of graduation."

"Then speed up and let them graduate in advance. Continue to open the third officer brigade and the teaching brigade, and this will be the model in the future. The army will be held three times a year, and a few people will be selected from those with good grades to serve as the officer brigade and the teaching brigade. Instruct the captain of the brigade and the like, and take them around in batches."

"Yes."

"Zhang Shichen."

"arrive."

"Leave the affairs of the logistics department first. You quickly organize people to count how many militias there are in the [-] or so counties in western Henan. The composition of these militias is whether they are the young men of a certain local landlord, or an army raised by a county. Let’s take a look at organizations like the Rich People in Western Henan and the Gelaohui in Western Henan. I want to have a clear understanding of the situation in Western Henan.”

"Yes."

"Two months later, all the troops will conduct a comprehensive survey. I will conduct a comprehensive investigation in terms of military discipline, tactics, and the literacy of soldiers in the troops. I will send you the specific content later. Take a good look at it yourself. "

"Yes."

"Disband."

…………

"Brother Jing'an (Jiang Hongyu), do you know what I'm thinking now?"

After everyone left, Duan Xun left Jiang Hongyu alone.Jiang Hongyu is not only Duan Xun's chief of staff in the army, but also Duan Xun's current chief of staff.

In addition, the two of them are still classmates and colleagues, and the relationship is much closer than ordinary people.

"Thinking about what?"

"Today I became a tour envoy in western Henan, the commander of the 29th mixed brigade, with four infantry regiments and one artillery regiment under his command, and he was able to govern more than 20 counties. I suddenly thought, when can I become a division commander, right? There is a chance to become the governor of a province, or to go directly to the Ministry of War, and to become the chief of the Ministry of War in the future. Isn’t it funny.”

"Do not."

Jiang Hongyu didn't smile, but said very seriously: "Degong (Duan Xun), you are only 25 years old now. Who said you can't be the governor of a province in the future, who said you can't be the chief of the army department in the future."

In fact, Jiang Hongyu is very surprised now.

Although Jiang Hongyu had already overestimated Duan Xun, he believed that Duan Xun's promotion speed would not be slow.But Jiang Hongyu didn't expect Duan Xun to be promoted so quickly.I came to the west of Henan in early August, and in half a year now, I have gone from being a regiment leader to being the king of the west of Henan.

According to this rate of promotion, who can say that Duan Xun cannot become the governor of a province after a few years.

"I hope so too. And there are plenty of opportunities."

"kindness?"

"Brother Jing'an, do you know? Our President Yuan is not just satisfied with being a great president."

"what do you mean……"

Jiang Hongyu's complexion changed quickly, revealing a horrified expression.

Jiang Hongyu is very smart.

It was immediately clear what Duan Xun meant.Because what Duan Xun said was not groundless.As early as the first year of the Republic of China, when Yuan Shikai was elected president, there were already many such rumors.
