Beiyang reactionaries

"Master, this?"

"Don't blame me, I've already promised you. Your talent is higher than mine, and you will definitely be able to use your strengths in the General Staff. You and I may work together in the Ministry of War in the future."

"Master, have you decided?"

"In fact, I have had this idea for a long time, but I have never been reconciled. After all, I am the governor of Jiangsu. It is really difficult for me to give up such a position. But you are right, if I continue to love Jiangsu Province If I have a senior position, I can only work for a few years at most. But if I am promoted to the Ministry of the Army this time and serve as the Minister of Academic Affairs, then I will have more than 20 years to serve in the army.”

Chen Yi made the final decision.

And when Chen Yi made a decision here, Lu Yongxiang also had a reaction.Lu Yongxiang didn't expect Duan Xun's attitude to be very firm, but he was already prepared for his resignation.

Since Duan Xun promised not to pursue his historical responsibilities and protect his personal safety and property safety, Lu Yongxiang did not continue to insist.Anyway, Lu Yongxiang has plundered countless money over the years, and he can eat and drink well in the concession.

On May 1922, 5, Lu Yongxiang formally decided to cancel the title of the Rebel Army in Nanjing, accepted the cabinet's order to cancel the position of the Yangtze River Patrol Envoy, and announced his resignation at the same time.

The cabinet was also quick to respond.

Support Lu Yongxiang's decision, declare that Lu Yongxiang will not be held accountable for history, and declare that the personal safety and property safety of Lu Yongxiang and the officers of the [-]th Division of the Central Army will be guaranteed.

With Lu Yongxiang's statement, the 14-day war came to an end.

As a result of the war, Lu Yongxiang, the Yangtze River patrol envoy, failed completely, and Duan Xun reached into the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and Shanghai regions.The cabinet began to directly control Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and Shanghai.

358 Deployment

With Lu Yongxiang and the cabinet reaching an agreement, the war is finally over.A war for control of the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and Shanghai regions came to an end, and the Beijing government, it should be said that Duan Xun won the final victory.

Because Lu Yongxiang officially announced his resignation.

Duan Xun's 20 troops entered the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and Shanghai areas and began to truly control this place.

But in fact, this is the beginning.

There are more things to deal with later.

There are still many things in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and Shanghai, which are very complicated.

The most important thing is to deal with the many troops left by Lu Yongxiang, large and small, including some local troops. Those so-called security regiments and militias have nearly 20 troops.Moreover, when Lu Yongxiang went to the field this time, there were not one or two generals who went with him, so Duan Xun needed to control them as soon as possible, and those troops had to be reorganized as soon as possible.How to reorganize so many troops is a big project, after all, it is not a reorganization of [-] to [-] troops.But this is not something to rush, you need to take your time.Fortunately, Duan Xun has already had experience in reorganizing troops many times.

From the beginning of the reorganization of the Sichuan Army, the Yunnan Army, the Qian Army, the Hunan Army, the Guangdong Army, and Cao Kun Zhijun and Zhang Zuolin Fengjun two years ago.Anyway, the troops that Duan Xun has reorganized over the years are not one or two, but hundreds of thousands of troops.Therefore, not only Duan Xun himself, but also the generals in Duan Xun's camp have sufficient experience in reorganizing troops.

Duan Xun's method of reorganizing his troops was not particularly special.

The first is to control military pay, not to allow troops to control finances, and not to allow warlords with money and soldiers to appear.Then control the logistics, then control the weapons and equipment, then pay close attention to the military discipline of the troops, and finally start to intervene in the personnel issues of the troops.Duan Xun is already at his fingertips to control and reorganize the army step by step in this way.

So the first step is that the Ministry of the Army began to set up a logistics department, an equipment department, and a military discipline department in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and Shanghai regions to first control these aspects of the army.As for personnel issues, Duan Xun will never be in a hurry.

Because Duan Xun now controls the cabinet, controls the Ministry of War, and has a righteous name.Even a veteran warlord like Lu Yongxiang has been dealt with, and these little shrimps under his hands are even more ok.Anytime, anywhere, some so-called excuses can be used to intervene in the personnel issues of those troops.

Compared with solving the military problem, the first thing Duan Xun has to do is to stabilize the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and Shanghai regions.

After all, it was a war.

The impact on Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and Shanghai is still great.

Therefore, the cabinet once again announced that it will not adjust the military and political systems in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and Shanghai.That is to say, the positions of provincial governors and provincial governors appointed at the beginning of this year will not be changed by the cabinet.At least this term will not change.

If this is confirmed, then in the next three to four years, there will be no major changes in the military and political systems in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and Shanghai regions.

Let them feel at ease, so that they can work with peace of mind, and allow them to quickly stabilize the situation in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and Shanghai.

This is to appease the hearts of local military leaders such as He Fenglin, Zhang Zaiyang, Pan Guogang, and Zhang Wensheng, as well as the hearts of local governors such as Xia Chao and He Binglin.

However, after the cabinet announced that it would not adjust the military and political system, Jiangsu Governor Chen Yi rejected his position as Jiangsu Governor.Chen Yi stated that he was a soldier, and now he is also serving as the commander of the Fifth Division of the Zhejiang Army, and he is also a lieutenant general appointed by the Ministry of Army.Since the cabinet implements "separate rule between the military and the people", Chen Yi believes that she is a soldier and absolutely unsuitable to be the governor of Jiangsu.

This is Chen Yi.

Chen Yi is a little indecisive, thinks a lot, and often hesitates.But once he made up his mind, he knew what he should do, and he would never procrastinate.Although Duan Xun is now beginning to control the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and Shanghai regions, Duan Xun has only just begun to control this place after all.

Moreover, he stated that he would not adjust the military and political systems in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and Shanghai.

If you depose your own governor of Jiangsu and transfer yourself to Beijing, then don't care what Duan Xun means. Others seem to be Duan Xun breaking his promise, or Duan Xun is sorting out the military and political systems of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and Shanghai, which will make Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and Shanghai The power faction is worried.It will also greatly affect Duan Xun's reputation.On the contrary, Chen Yi's voluntary resignation will give Duan Xun a big step.

Duan Xun would of course have to repay Chen Yi for giving him face.

On May 1922, 5, Duan Xun promoted Chen Yi to the rank of General of the Army as the Chief of the Army Department, and at the same time appointed Chen Yi as the Minister of Academic Affairs under the Army Department.

He also stated that the military schools in all provinces of the country, including the previously established Army Primary School, Army Middle School, Naval School, Army Surveying and Mapping School, Army Staff School, Aviation School, Military Engineering University, and Military Equipment University, will all be affiliated to the Under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Academic Affairs.Not only these schools, but also military weapons research institutes are all affiliated to the Ministry of Academic Affairs.

Chen Yi's first task after becoming the Minister of Academic Affairs is to rectify military academies across the country.

It's not over.

On May 1922, 5, Xu Yongchang, Chief of the General Staff of the Ministry of Army, announced that Lin Wei, the former chief of staff of the Fifth Division of the Zhejiang Army, would be transferred to the General Staff to serve as the director of the newly established Operations Department. Lin Wei was officially promoted to Lieutenant General of the Army.

One news after another from the Ministry of the Army made many powerful figures in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and Shanghai dumbfounded.

Everyone looked at Chen Yi differently.From everyone's point of view, it was obvious that Chen Yi had hooked up with Duan Xun a long time ago, and secretly defected to Duan Xun.If not, how could Chen Yi refuse the post of governor of Jiangsu by herself.

In return, Chen Yi was promoted.Even Lin Wei, the chief of staff of Chen Yi's most direct descendant, unexpectedly became the head of the Operations Department of the General Staff and became a lieutenant general.

Too "shameless".

In everyone's eyes, Chen Yi has become a big traitor.

But it didn't end there.

On May 1922, 5, Yang Jie, secretary-general of the Ministry of the Army, announced that Ge Jingen, who was formerly the adjutant of Chen Yi, the commander of the Fifth Division of the Zhejiang Army, and also the director of the Operations and Training Department of the Fifth Division of the Zhejiang Army, would be the chief of staff of Duan Xun, the chief of the Army Ministry. Promoted Ge Jingen to Major General.

The so-called chief of staff is actually Duan Xun, the chief of the army, who is the secretary of the army department.

A series of transfers left many people dumbfounded.What kind of shit luck did this bastard Chen Yi have? Not only did he become the director of the Ministry of Army's Academic Affairs Department, Lin Wei became the director of the Operations Department, and now even his adjutant Ge Jingen has become Duan Xun's chief of staff.

However, although many people scolded Chen Yi behind their backs, many people in the Zhejiang Army have already felt a little bit.That is, Duan Xun really thinks highly of Chen Yi.

Moreover, Chen Yi was about to go north and enter Beijing to become an official of the Ministry of War.Therefore, in an instant, many leaders of the Zhejiang Army began to send people to contact Chen Yi.

I hope that after Chen Yi enters Beijing, she can speak more good words for the Zhejiang Army.

As the saying goes, there are people in the court who are easy to talk to.

The Zhe Army was born in the armed forces of the Restoration Society, and he has no friendship with Duan Xun, who was born in the Beiyang Army and rose in the Southwest.It is a good thing for the entire Zhejiang army to have a general from the Zhejiang army like Chen Yi in the Ministry of Army.

"Let's talk about who is more suitable to be the governor of Jiangsu."

Chen Yi resigned and wanted to enter the Ministry of War, so the position of Governor of Jiangsu became vacant.Duan Xun was anxious about the cabinet members and began to discuss the candidate for the governor of Jiangsu.

There's been a lot going on recently.
