Beiyang reactionaries

So Duan Xun didn't have so many worries.

"General."

After arranging most of the things, Duan Xun calmed down and considered how to plan Sichuan.At this time Li Hong (Xiao Liu) walked in.

"what's up."

"Liu Xiang, head of the third regiment of the first division of the former Sichuan Army, asked to see him."

"Liu Xiang?"

"Yes."

"Let him in."

45 Liu Xiang

Liu Xiang, the king of Sichuan who has ruled Sichuan for many years in history, is the same age as Duan Xun.But now he is still far away from Sichuan King, and he is looking at Duan Xun's command post with a depressed face.Originally, Liu Xiang's development over the years was quite good.

When the Revolution of [-] happened, Liu Xiang was still a student in the military academy.However, after the Revolution of [-], Liu Xiang developed very smoothly, and soon became the battalion commander.During the Second Revolution, Liu Xiang's battalion was defending Luzhou and performed very well.Xiong Kewu's troops attacked Luzhou several times but failed to take it down.With this credit, Liu Xiang was promoted to the commander of the third regiment of the Sichuan Army's First Division of Zhou Jun.

He was very proud of himself, and he became famous at a young age in the Sichuan Army.

However, the situation changed suddenly. A few months ago, Chen Heng came to Sichuan and began to act as an agent for Sichuan's military affairs.Chen Heng was worried about the Sichuan Army, and felt that the three divisions of the Sichuan Army were too strong.However, Chen Heng did not dare to directly cancel the establishment of the three divisions of the Sichuan Army.

So I came up with a way.

Downsizing.

The divisions of the Sichuan Army were downsized, and there was only one brigade left in each division, and the position of brigade commander was handed over to the person he brought.When it came to Zhou Jun's First Division of the Sichuan Army, there were originally four regiments, but Chen Heng wanted to cut down two regiments.Among the troops to be downsized is Liu Xiang's third regiment.Of course Zhou Jun was unwilling, so he patted Chen Heng's chest to pledge his loyalty.

Tell Chen Heng that he is absolutely loyal to the President, and hope that Chen Heng will not downsize his troops.

But Chen Heng had already made up his mind to reduce Zhou Jun's first division.At this time Duan Xun came to Sichuan.Duan Xun started playing rogue with Chen Heng, and Chen Heng told Zhou Jun in desperation that either Zhou Jun would pay Duan Xun military expenses to make Duan Xun satisfied.Otherwise, give one of the regiments to Duan Xun to command.

Zhou Jun thought over and over again, and in the end he could only assign the third regiment to Duan Xun.

Because it is very simple.

Zhou Jun is the guardian of Chongqing, which is an important town in Sichuan, or in other words, an important town in the Southwest.As long as Zhou Jun is a little smarter, he is not short of money, after all, he is the guardian of Chongqing.What Zhou Jun lacks now is the establishment.As long as you have money, there is always a way to recruit troops.

But if Duan Xun is playing a rogue, how much money should be paid to Duan Xun.It's better to give the third regiment directly to Duan Xun.Moreover, since Chen Heng must draw down the Sichuan Army, even if Duan Xun is not given, the regiment will not be able to keep it.

In this way, the future Sichuan King Liu Xiang was kicked to Duan Xun.Liu Xiang was really depressed.As a native of Sichuan, it is very convenient for me to develop in the Sichuan Army.

After all, most of the current Sichuan Army officers have studied in the Sichuan Military Academy, either his seniors, juniors, or his classmates.But when he came to the 29th Mixed Brigade, which was an out-and-out Beiyang Army unit, his eyes were darkened and he didn't know anyone.

Totally me for the fish.

Bitter.

Duan Xun knew that the movement to protect the country would soon come, but Liu Xiang didn't know it, and the Sichuan Army didn't know it.Just because he knew that the Movement to Protect the Nation would soon take place, Duan Xun could do many outrageous things without fear of offending Chen Heng.However, the Sichuan Army and Liu Xiang were afraid of the strength of the Beiyang Army, and they did not dare to do things at will, they could only obey orders.

That's the advantage.

An advantage of knowing history.If the Sichuan Army knew that the Movement to Protect the Country would break out in a few months, then Chen Heng's order in Sichuan would be good if he could listen to one out of ten orders.

It's a pity they don't know.

"Fucheng (Liu Xiang), don't be restrained. You and I are both soldiers, so you don't have to be like those scholars."

Very cola.

Originally, Duan Xun thought that the future King of Sichuan was very arrogant.Unexpectedly, after seeing Liu Xiang for the first time, Duan Xun discovered that Liu Xiang was honest and honest, and his words showed loyalty.Standing there honestly, there is no such thing as a bastard.

Is it because the history is wrong, or there are two Liu Xiangs in Sichuan?

Of course Duan Xun was very happy.

There is an extra regiment for no reason, and it is the Sichuan Army, with thousands of rifles, it is a good thing anyway.And after reading Liu Xiang's information, Duan Xun knew that the Third Regiment of the First Division of the Sichuan Army was an old army that had fought in the Second Revolution, and its strength was good.Of course, how to digest this army is the most critical thing.

"Yes."

"Fucheng, I know you may be dissatisfied, but think about it from another angle. General Chengwu (Chen Heng) wants to downsize the establishment of your First Division of the Sichuan Army. How dare your Master Zhou (Zhou Jun) object? General Chengwu wants Your First Division of the Sichuan Army handed over a regiment to me to command, how dare your Master Zhou refuse?"

Revolutionary ideal?

fart.

For military officers like Liu Xiang who have experienced the Revolution of [-] and the Second Revolution, they are more concerned about their own interests at this stage.This is the change of heart.In the year of [-], how many revolutionaries had dreams, sacrificed blood, and worked desperately to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty.For the republican government that Sun Yat-sen chanted, I don't know how many people shed blood on the battlefield.But in just a few years, these people have transformed into warlords.

Duan Xun also wants to talk about ideals.

But at this stage, when I talk about ideals with Liu Xiang, Liu Xiang will laugh at himself instead.Not as real benefits.Duan Xun told Liu Xiang that the Sichuan Army has no future.

Look at Zhou Jun.

Zhou Jun is a big shot in Sichuan, but he is a serious Chongqing guard and the commander of the First Division of the Sichuan Army.When Hu Jingyi was the governor of Sichuan, Zhou Jun was the top boss of the Sichuan army.But now that Chen Heng said a word, he didn't dare to object at all.He scolded Chen Heng secretly, but on the surface he didn't dare to refuse.

why.

the reason is simple.

At present, the most powerful force in China is the Beiyang Army, especially the Beiyang Army of the Second Revolution, which directly wiped out the Southern Revolutionary Army.Let these warlords in the southwest be cautious one by one immediately, and are unwilling to give the Beiyang army a handle.

Of course, no one knows what they think.

But their current situation is that they are afraid of the strength of the Beiyang Army.This is even more so in Sichuan.Because Hubei, which borders Sichuan, has Duan Zhigui, Wang Zhanyuan and other Beiyang army leaders, Hunan also has Tang Xiangming, and Shaanxi to the north has Lu Jianzhang's [-]th Division.

Even if the Sichuan army is dissatisfied, it will only be a soft confrontation, not a hard confrontation.

Liu Xiang is a smart person, and he immediately understood what Duan Xun meant.

"Fucheng (Liu Xiang), look at me again. I'm just a brigade commander of the 29th Mixed Brigade, but I brought more than 1 people with me when I entered Sichuan this time. I'm stationed in Chongqing. I don't want to come to Luzhou, let alone say yes Your Master Zhou (Zhou Jun), even General Cheng Wu (Chen Heng) can only appease me. I want money and he gives me money, I want weapons and he gives me weapons, I want ammunition and he gives me ammunition. If the army assigns your third regiment to me, they can only give your troops to my command."

Duan Xun said proudly.

Then stood up and came in front of Liu Xiang.Liu Xiang stood up immediately, but Duan Xun put his hand on Liu Xiang's shoulder and asked him to sit down.Then he continued: "Why did this happen? Because I have been studying in my Beiyang Military Academy since I was a child. Zhao Litai, the first principal of Baoding Military Academy, was my mentor, and Qu Tongfeng, the third principal of Baoding Military Academy, was also a teacher of my former military academy. And I I just got married recently, and I married President Duan's niece."

"Of course, you may think that I am a person who came up by relying on my background, and you will not be convinced. But it doesn't matter. I tell you this to let you know that for me, the Luzhou Guardian is just a starting point. I left the military academy two years ago and served as the commander of bandit suppression in western Henan. I only had a regiment. After half a year, my army was expanded into a brigade, which was the 29th brigade. After another two months, my army was reorganized into the 29th brigade. Mixed brigade. At the same time, I started to serve as the tour envoy in western Henan, the commander-in-chief of the bandit suppression in western Henan, the commander-in-chief of the western Henan militia, and the brigade commander of the 29th mixed brigade. I only spent one year on all these. "

"Fu Cheng, I want to tell you. I have read your profile, and you are a very good officer. Follow me, and I guarantee that you will become a brigade commander within one year and a division commander within three years. "

Liu Xiang looked straight at Duan Xun.

Liu Xiang understood what Duan Xun said.In fact, Liu Xiang has no choice at all now.They all assigned themselves to Duan Xun, so what can he do as a small regiment leader?Even Zhou Jun couldn't resist this order, and he couldn't resist.

But listening to Duan Xun's words, it's not bad to go to Duan Xun.Anyway, Duan Xun said that he is very powerful.As for making himself a teacher within three years, Liu Xiang couldn't believe it.
