Beiyang reactionaries

Let Duan Xun not like it very much.

As long as there is Hu Jingyi, and Hu Jingyi's troops are enough.

"Mr. Hu, I would like to reorganize your troops into a garrison division, under the jurisdiction of the First Division of the former Shaanxi Army, the Second Mixed Brigade of the Southwest Frontier Defense Army (Brigade Commander Ma Xiaojun), and the Fourth Mixed Brigade of the Southwest Frontier Defense Army (Brigade Commander He Yaozu). Cancel the designations of the First Division of the Shaanxi Army, the Second Mixed Brigade of the Southwest Frontier Defense Army, and the Fourth Mixed Brigade of the Southwest Frontier Defense Army. The Garrison Division has four infantry brigades, one cavalry brigade, and the Gendarmerie Brigade, plus the Guard Regiment, Baggage Regiment, and Artillery Regiment, with a full staff of 2 people. You serve as the commander of the garrison division, and He Yaozu serves as the chief of staff of the garrison division. Four infantry brigades, the first brigade commander Yue Weijun, the second brigade commander Feng Yudong, and the third brigade commander Cao Shiying Dong Songyan, the commander of the fourth brigade, and Dong Zhenwu, the commander of the cavalry brigade. The appointment of the Gendarmerie Brigade is decided by the Military Law Department, and the appointment of the Baggage Regiment is decided by the Logistics Department. The appointment to your division. What do you think?"

When Hu Jingyi heard what Duan Xun meant, he immediately stood up.

Then he bowed deeply to Duan Xun and said, "Thank you, General, for your trust."

atmosphere.

Duan Xun never thought of suppressing Hu Jingyi.Not only did it create the largest division-level unit among Duan Xun's troops, but it also attached great importance to the officers of Hu Jingyi's troops.

Did not suppress them at all.

Several important positions were also given to Hu Jingyi's people.Of the four infantry brigades, three brigade commanders were from Hu Jing's wing.The position of brigade commander including the cavalry brigade was also handed over to Hu Jingyi's favorite general Dong Zhenwu.

Although the appointment of the gendarmerie brigade and the supply regiment was not in Hu Jingyi's hands, the appointment of the lower dough-level officers was handed over to Hu Jingyi.It can be said that Duan Xun has considerable trust in Hu Jingyi.

So Hu Jingyi was very moved.

"But there are some things I have to tell you. Let me just talk about the officers. In the future, the officers of the army must be literate and must receive regular military training. An army without culture is a stupid army, and there will be no What a big development. Especially military officers, if they are illiterate, then they are not allowed to go up, and they are forced to learn culture. Not only culture, but also military knowledge. An officer training base. Let the grassroots officers of the Shaanxi Army receive military training in turn.”

"Yes."

Hu Jingyi nodded.

Even so, the officers of Hu Jingyi's original army were at a disadvantage.After all, the officers of Duan Xun's troops were either from military academy, or they had received short-term training later.In this regard, the Shaanxi Army is not a star.Most of the grassroots officers in the Shaanxi Army are reckless, and there are even many illiterates.

But Hu Jingyi is still supportive.

Because this is something that Hu Jingyi has always supported.Hu Jingyi had long wanted to set up an officer training school similar to the Suiying School in the army, but he never had the chance.

So I strongly support Duan Xun's idea.

"Another point is that your troops must learn this specifically, which is our department's discipline. Our army must first report on weapons and recruits. After approval, there will be a special department to supplement the troops. No front-line military officer is allowed to buy weapons or recruit troops without permission."

"I know this."

Since he defected to Duan Xun, of course Hu Jingyi had carefully inquired about some disciplines of Duan Xun's troops.

Based on the book written by Duan Xun, Hu Jingyi knew that it was Duan Xun who was taking power.It is precisely because the Beijing government cannot control the warlords below that they withhold funds privately and expand their military privately, which makes these warlords stronger and stronger.

Duan Xun now controls the weapons of the army, the logistics of the army, and the recruits of the army, just to guard against these. Warlords with money, arms, and troops are not allowed to appear.Hu Jingyi understood Duan Xun.

"As for the First Mixed Brigade of the Shaanxi Army, it was reorganized into the Independent First Brigade of the Second Army of the Southwest Frontier Defense Army. Fan Zhongxiu continued to serve as the commander of the Independent First Brigade and was subordinate to the Second Army."

"Yes."

"Minister Xiong Kewu will be responsible for the specific reorganization work. I hope that within two months, the reorganization work of the troops must be completed."

"Yes."

Hu Jingyi is very serious, after all, this is related to the future fate of himself and the First Division of the Shaanxi Army.But Hu Jingyi asked suspiciously: "General, what about Brigadier Ma?"

Where did Ma Xiaojun go?

Since the garrison division also included the Second Mixed Brigade of the Southwest Frontier Defense Army, where did Ma Xiaojun, the brigade commander of the Second Mixed Brigade, go?Hu Jingyi knew that Ma Xiaojun's second mixed brigade was expanded from Duan Xun's guard regiment, and he had been serving as Duan Xun's guard brigade when he was in Chongqing.Duan Xun also handed over the most important Hanzhong to Ma Xiaojun's Second Mixed Brigade.

Ma Xiaojun is even more famous.

Especially Duan Xun's sentence "The Gui army has 10 people, not as good as the Ma Xiaojun model camp", this sentence let everyone know Ma Xiaojun.How come there is no place for Ma Xiaojun after the security division is created.

"This is what I want to discuss with you."

Duan Xun said seriously: "Last time I talked to you about Mongolia, so I am going to station a unit in Yulin. I want to transfer two regiments from your original Shaanxi Army First Division, and form two more The recruit regiment formed the temporary first division. Ma Xiaojun served as the commander of the temporary first division, with two infantry brigades and one cavalry brigade under his jurisdiction, stationed in Yulin."

"General, which two regiments do you want to transfer?"

"Deng Baoshan's regiment and Li Yunlong's regiment. Deng Baoshan is from Gansu, and participated in the Yili Uprising in Xinjiang in the year of [-]. I can speak well and have a lot of connections. After the troops are stationed in Yulin, they need talents like Deng Baoshan. After all, it is to deter Mongolia. Contact, rather than using force for everything. As for Li Yunlong, who was born as a swordsman, he is a cavalry general. I want him to be the commander of the cavalry brigade stationed in Yili."

Hu Jingyi scratched his head.

Duan Xun smiled and said: "I know that both of them are officers you value very much. But they are the best candidates to be stationed in Yulin. And the officers under your command can only go further if they go out."

"Yes."

Stationed in Yulin.

Hu Jingyi knew it well.Duan Xun chose them because they were excellent.It doesn't matter whether it's Deng Baoshan or Li Yunlong, among the officers under Hu Jingyi's command, they are capable of both civil and military affairs.

Although Yue Weijun is currently the second in command of Hu Jingyi's wing, Feng Yudong and Cao Shiying are further down.But Hu Jingyi knew that Deng Baoshan and Li Yunlong, including Yang Hucheng and Dong Zhenwu below, would definitely go further in the army than Yue Weijun and Feng Yudong in the future.Because compared to Yue Weijun, those young generals are more willing to learn.As for Feng Yudong's current position, it is more because of his qualifications, Feng Yudong is still a scholar at heart.

But in addition to being excellent, Duan Xun transferred them away to split up his power in the security division.

Hu Jingyi understood what Duan Xun said at the end, "Only by going out can we go further."If the Shaanxi Army only knows how to hold a group, then Duan Xun will definitely not rest assured that the Shaanxi Army will not develop the Shaanxi Army.Only by going out like Deng Baoshan and Li Yunlong can they reach a higher position.

Just look at their posts.

They were only regimental commanders in the Shaanxi Army, but Duan Xun transferred them to Yulin and immediately became brigade commanders.

"Also, I want to transfer the Yang Hucheng Regiment from your army. I am serving as the temporary governor of Shaanxi. Originally, He Yaozu's [-]th Mixed Brigade of the Southwest Frontier Defense Army was responsible for the security mission. But now that the [-]th Mixed Brigade has been incorporated into the Guard Division , I am going to set up another security brigade directly under the Governor's Mansion, and let Yang Hucheng come over and serve as the commander of the security brigade for me."

"Yes."

Hu Jingyi didn't stop him.

Because Hu Jingyi could tell that Duan Xun really valued his subordinates besides dismantling his First Division of the Shaanxi Army.In a short period of time, they became officers at the brigade commander level.

And Hu Jingyi is not easy to stop.

If he prevents them from being promoted, even though they are officers under him, there may be a gap.

"Mr. Hu, the garrison division must be reorganized as soon as possible, and its combat effectiveness must be formed quickly. The garrison division will be of great use in the future."

"Yes."

211 preparation

1919 4 Month 4 Day.

Xi'an.

The war is getting closer.

Duan Xun has judged that the Zhiwan War will definitely break out within a few months.Especially in May, when the news of the failure of the Paris Peace Conference comes out and the national public opinion is boiling, it is the best opportunity.

Even if Feng Guozhang, Cao Kun, and Zhang Zuolin wanted to attack Duan Qirui, they would definitely need an excuse.If there is no excuse to crusade against Duan Qirui and the Beijing government, it is unjustifiable.
