Beiyang reactionaries

"Although the origin of the Sichuan Army is inseparable from General Chen Heng, it was developed from the No.30 Three Mixed Association that General Chen Heng organized and trained in Sichuan. However, it has been seven or eight years since General Chen Heng left Sichuan, and the current The Sichuan Army has long been irrelevant. After the Revolution of 2, the Sichuan Army had five divisions. However, after the Kuomintang rebellion in the second year of the Republic of China (the second revolution), the Sichuan Army also suffered heavy losses due to civil strife. But even so, the Sichuan Army still had three divisions before. General Chen Heng entered Sichuan After that, the Sichuan army was suppressed several times, but the current Sichuan army still retains two divisions and two mixed brigades, with nearly [-] people. Although most of them chose to support the president when the Kuomintang rebelled, their troops and The Southern Revolutionary Party is inextricably linked, especially with the Yunnan Army. Now is the time for the president to do big things. How can General Chen Heng be at ease with these Sichuan troops. Although General Chen Heng told Xiong Xiangsheng, Lei Biao and these people went down to the army to lead troops, but this is Sichuan after all, and they have just led troops. Whether they can control the troops is a problem. General Chen Heng ordered the general to station in Luzhou, I think the main reason is to deter the Second Division of the Sichuan Army and the The Sichuan Army troops in Xiong Xiangsheng’s Brigade of the First Division of the Sichuan Army, let them be honest. I hope you will support Xiong Xiangsheng and Lei Biao.”

"kindness."

Chen Heng is worried about the Sichuan army, that's for sure.

Therefore, after Hu Jingyi left Sichuan, Chen Heng acted as the governor of Sichuan and began to attack the Sichuan army.At present, the strength of the Beiyang Army is too strong.Moreover, several units of the Sichuan Army were at odds with each other, so they could not cooperate to fight against Chen Heng.

Of course, even if they cooperated, they would not dare to confront Chen Heng blatantly.After all, Chen Heng represented the Beiyang Army and Yuan Shikai.

From the five divisions in the year of [-], the Sichuan Army now has only two divisions and two mixed brigades, and even two divisions are empty.It is said that there are two divisions, but the two divisions add up to only three brigades.But Chen Heng was still worried about the Sichuan army.Therefore, Chen Heng's current plan is to continue to draw down the Sichuan army, and it is best to erase the so-called Sichuan army in the end.

"General Chen Heng is also worried. After all, the Sichuan Army is a local army in Sichuan. Once these people are provoked, what will be done at that time. If Sichuan is in chaos, Shaanxi, Hunan, and Hubei will all be threatened. At this time, General Chen Heng will be more cautious than anyone else. .Although General Chen Heng doesn't like us and wants to use us to deter the Sichuan army, but we are more reliable than the Sichuan army. We will never have the possibility of rebellion."

"go on."

Duan Xun was very happy to hear that.

Deng Hanxiang's analysis is quite correct.Chen Heng didn't like to see him, but Chen Heng would not doubt Duan Xun's loyalty to the Beiyang Army.Because Duan Xun is of authentic Beiyang Army blood, and has just married Duan Qirui.

Anyone can rebel, but Duan Xun cannot.

Unless Duan Qirui wants to rebel.

Therefore, compared to the Sichuan army, Chen Heng must have more confidence in himself.

"Therefore, General, we don't need to worry. We will be stationed in Chongqing, eat and drink in Chongqing, and bargain with General Chen Heng. Either General Chen Heng will pay us for the trip, or the Sichuan Army is not downsizing recently, and the downsizing troops just happened to be handed over to our leaders. "

"it is good."

Duan Xun was overjoyed.

Deng Hanxiang is indeed a first-class smart person.

Why are you in a hurry.It should be Chen Heng who is anxious now.Chen Heng placed Wu Xiangzhen and his troops in southern Sichuan. In fact, apart from Liu Cunhou who was restricted to southern Sichuan, another reason was to defend against the Yunnan and Guizhou armies.

Regardless of whether it is Syria where Wu Xiangzhen is stationed or Luzhou where Duan Xun is going to be stationed, they both border Yunnan and Guizhou and are the front line against the Yunnan and Guizhou armies.Once there is any trouble in the Yunnan Army and the Guizhou Army, this is the most important place.It can also be seen from this that Chen Heng trusts the Beiyang Army troops brought by himself like Wu Xiangzhen and Duan Xun.

In this case, Duan Xun is even less anxious.

I want to go to Luzhou by myself.

can.

If you don't give me some benefits, why should I contribute.Either give me military expenses, or hand over the currently downsized Sichuan army to your own leadership.How could it be possible to come back empty-handed after a trip to Sichuan?

So Duan Xun thought for a while and said: "Brother Mingjie, then you should immediately draft a telegram, be more tactful, and tell our General Chengwu (Chen Heng) about our current predicament. Tell him, if you don't add anything to us, we will They're all going to starve to death."

"Yes."

Deng Hanxiang smiled and left.

After Deng Hanxiang left, Duan Xun shouted, "Xiao Liu."

"commander."

"Go, let the ministries rest where they are, and let the heads of the ministries come to me for a meeting."

"Yes."

43 Bargaining

"Remember, during the period when the various ministries are stationed, if there is any incident of harassing the local area or violating military discipline, it will be severely dealt with."

"Yes."

"Shang Zhen."

"arrive."

"Go and have a look. When we first came, the checkpoint by the Yangtze River seemed to be a tax collection point. If it is, then take it. Those people stay and let them collect taxes for us."

"Yes."

Duan Xun came to Chongqing along the river.

It has not yet entered Chongqing.Anyway, I don't plan to enter Chongqing now, so I just occupied the main road of the Yangtze River and some checkpoints on the periphery of Chongqing.How much does it cost for so many merchant ships, ships and caravans coming and going.

Received.

Duan Xun feels like a warlord now.A warlord is a group that collects taxes everywhere with its own guns and troops.

Think so much about what to do.

"Li Jishen."

"arrive."

"Go to Chongqing and find Zhou Jun, the commander of the First Division of the Sichuan Army. Tell him that my troops have nothing to eat and drink. If you don't help us solve it quickly, I don't know what my troops will do next. What are you doing. If they want to rush into Chongqing to eat and drink, I can't control it."

"Yes."

Li Ji suppressed a deep smile and left immediately.

Because he was afraid of laughing himself.Li Jishen is a very stable person, and Duan Xun is very reassuring about him.It is precisely because of this that Duan Xun handed over the 67th regiment, the most elite of his troops, to Li Jishen to lead.

"What are you doing? Set up camp, didn't you learn it during training?"

Duan Xun was well prepared for entering Sichuan this time.Troops like Wu Xiangzhen and Li Bingzhi entered Sichuan, but they were actually very unhappy.Especially Wu Xiangzhen, who is very popular in Hunan and drinks spicy food, and suddenly he was asked to lead troops into Sichuan, and he was really reluctant.

Sichuan is so difficult to enter, and their troops are too tired.Therefore, when entering Sichuan, they even brought very little weapons and ammunition, and even less food and drink.

But Duan Xun's preparations are quite sufficient.Although the food is not very delicious, but it has been prepared before entering Sichuan.And now that I have come to Chongqing, I have to solve the problem of eating and drinking Sichuan by myself.

"boom--"

"Too deceiving."

chongqing.

Zhou Jun was furious.

Originally, he had already received an order from Chen Heng, telling Chen Heng that Duan Xun's 29th mixed brigade would pass through Chongqing and enter Luzhou.Speaking of which, the position of Duan Xun, the guardian envoy of Luzhou, is very low.

People with higher positions than Duan Xun abound in eastern and southern Sichuan.

Not to mention Wu Xiangzhen, who served as the town guard in southern Sichuan, Liu Cunhou, who served as the commander-in-chief of Qingxiang in southern Sichuan, and Zhou Jun, who is currently serving as the town guard in Chongqing, are all higher than Duan Xun in terms of positions.

If Duan Xun wants to go there, he only needs to treat him with good food and drink.
