Beiyang reactionaries

Although it is only an army reorganization plan, it still surprised many people.As Duan Xun himself said, this is the first reaction of many people.

Duan Xun is sorting out the non-directed troops.

This is after the fall.

Duan Xun is too ruthless.

Because Xie Hongxun is Duan Xun's classmate, and Wang Pu is Duan Xun's student.Although we had nothing to do with each other before, logically speaking, since they have defected to Duan Xun, the previous relationship can still be used.Relying on the relationship between classmates and students in the past, the two of them can be regarded as Duan Xun's own direct descendants.

But why deal with their troops first.

Of course, everyone generally guesses that among the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui troops reorganized by Duan Xun, Xie Hongxun's troops are the strongest among Lu Yongxiang's troops, and they are Lu Yongxiang's fist troops.Xie Hongxun is also a well-known fierce general in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui.And Wang Pu's army is also the strongest among the Anhui troops. Among the Anwu Army left behind by Ni Sichong, Wang Pu's Third Mixed Brigade of the Anwu Army is the strongest.As Ni Sichong's son-in-law, Wang Pu himself is the soul of An Wujun.

If these two troops are eliminated and Xie Hongxun and Wang Pu are suppressed, then half of the original troops in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui will be eliminated.

Complaints are loud.

At this time, the Ministry of Military Affairs issued an order that the No. 18 Army (Commander Pan Wenhua) of the Central Army was transferred from Zhejiang to Anlu, Hubei.This order from the Ministry of War is even more convincing.

Because this is obviously not assured of the powerful troops in Xie Hongxun's hands, and let the No.18 army monitor them.

All kinds of rumors are swirling.

There are many accusations.

However, the actions of the Ministry of Military Affairs were not disturbed by these public opinions, and continued to follow its own plan. On December 1922, 12, the last day of 31, the Ministry of War issued another order.

The Army Command of the Military Department formed a new department, the Artillery Command.

The Ministry of Military Affairs appointed Lai Xinhui as the commander of the newly formed Artillery Command, and appointed Ye Bingjia as the chief of staff of the Artillery Command, who were under orders from the Army Command.Except for some artillery units owned by the field troops themselves, the established artillery units are all under the command of the Artillery Command.

That is to say, from now on, the Chinese army will build a dedicated artillery unit.

Lai Xinhui defected to Duan Xun in Sichuan, and his official career has been prosperous these years.Because Duan Xun made his fortune in Sichuan, Sichuan Army officers have filled the entire Chinese Army over the years.Among the senior military officials at present, the proportion of officers from Sichuan is very high.Two years ago, Duan Xun also sent Lai Xinhui to Europe to learn the artillery of the European army, and appointed him as the artillery commander after returning.

Ye Bingjia is a graduate of the fifth period of the Japanese Non-commissioned Officer Academy. He is currently the vice principal of Baoding Military Academy and the director of the artillery department.He is currently the person with the richest artillery knowledge in Chinese military academies.

On January 1923, 1, Lai Xinhui gave orders for the first time as the artillery commander.After discussion at the Artillery Command, the first batch of ten artillery brigades was prepared to be formed across the country, and the first artillery brigade decided to be formed in Hubei.

Gather all the artillery units of Xie Hongxun's unit, which has just been appointed as the Second Army of the Disaster Relief Mobile Force, to form the First Artillery Brigade.Zhu Shaoliang was appointed as the commander of the [-]st Artillery Brigade, and Zou Zuohua was appointed as the chief of staff of the [-]st Artillery Brigade.

Zhu Shaoliang was originally from Jiangsu and was born in Fujian.However, after graduating from the Artillery Department of the Japanese Non-commissioned Officer Academy, he entered the Guizhou Army.Later, he followed Yuan Zuming and defected to Duan Xun.

Because he graduated from the Artillery Department, and because he followed Duan Xun earlier, he was also taken seriously.This time he was appointed as the commander of the First Artillery Brigade.

Zou Zuohua is from Jilin, Duan Qirui's Anhui Department. He graduated from the Artillery Department of Baoding Military Academy in his early years.Served as the head of the border defense army teaching regiment and the commander of the heavy artillery battalion.After the defeat in the Zhiwan War, he didn't want to defect to Cao Kun, so he defected to Duan Xun.

Duan Xun likes Zou Zuohua very much, because China currently lacks such officers with professional knowledge.After defecting to Duan Xun, he successively served as the artillery instructor of Sichuan Army University and Wuchang Military Academy, the captain of the teaching brigade, and the head of the artillery factory of Hanyang Arsenal.This time, he was appointed chief of staff of the First Artillery Brigade.

This arrangement of the Ministry of Military Affairs has been criticized a lot.

There is also a lot of resentment within Xie Hongxun's army.

Think that Duan Xun is weakening the strength of this army.Not only has the good field troops been turned into disaster relief mobile troops, but now the artillery of the troops has been transferred away.However, Xie Hongxun is not only a fierce general on the battlefield, but also has excellent ability to lead troops.All these grievances can be suppressed.

Anyway, when many people were paying attention to how Duan Xun weakened these non-directed troops, the Ministry of Military Affairs had already quietly deployed its own troops in several important cities along the Yangtze River.

Moreover, after the formation of the first artillery brigade, the second artillery brigade and the third artillery brigade were formed one after another soon.These units combined the artillery units of the original Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui units, and then reorganized them.It seems that they are all aimed at weakening their strength, and also spying on them.

With such an excuse, the Artillery Command is constantly strengthening the strength of these artillery brigades.

"Sir, there is a young officer outside looking for sir."

"Young officer?"

"Yes."

Changsha, Hunan.

Changsha Girls Law and Politics School.

While many people were paying attention to the actions of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and many even criticized the Ministry of Military Affairs for cutting off non-directed troops, Duan Xun was not in a hurry, and deployed the events of 1923 step by step.

Changsha Women's School of Law and Politics, this is the school run by Tang Qunying, a former member of the Tongmenghui and a well-known feminist movement leader in China in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China.

Tang Qunying was puzzled.

In the early years of the Republic of China, Tang Qunying and a group of revolutionary female generals asked the Tongmenghui, which was later the Kuomintang, to honor their promises.When the Manchu Dynasty was overthrown in the late Qing Dynasty, the top leaders of the Tongmenghui, including Sun Yat-sen, made promises.It means that they support the equality of men and women and support the feminist movement.In the future, if the revolution succeeds, what will happen.

Promises a lot.

Because of these promises, the revolutionary female generals at that time could not be inferior to men.During the Revolution of [-], there was no shortage of female soldiers in transporting ammunition, making explosives, death squads, and stretcher squads.

It is a pity that after the founding of the Republic of China, in order not to offend the local gentry and attract those conservative and powerful figures, the Tongmenghui reversed all previous promises.

Never mention the so-called slogan of equality between men and women.

At that time, revolutionary female generals were not to be trifled with.

Because those people also fought to the death on the battlefield just like the men, and these people have weapons in their hands.So they carried rifles and entered the venue to make trouble.From Nanjing to Beijing, I don't know how many congressmen I beat up.Including the famous Song Jiaoren, who was also beaten up by them in public and in meetings.

Unfortunately, none of this is of any use.

Later, Tang Qunying and the others offended Yuan Shikai in Beijing, so they had to leave Beijing and return to Hunan.After that, Tang Qunying slowly withdrew from politics and began to open various girls' schools in Hunan.

Because Tang Qunying believes that the reason why the feminist movement failed is because they pinned their hopes on men.Therefore, Tang Qunying believes that only when more and more women receive education can the current situation of inequality between men and women be changed.

Precisely because she had been away from the political arena for many years, Tang Qunying was very puzzled, how could a young officer come to find her.Tang Qunying walked out of the school, and saw a man standing there in a brand new military uniform at the front of the door.

Combing the most popular issue at present, combing the hair back, the heroic spirit is compelling.

Looks less than 30 years old.

And a few meters away from him, there were four soldiers in military uniforms.But it was clear at a glance that the person in the front was an officer, wearing a colonel's uniform.

The other four were ordinary soldiers.

"Is it Mr. Tang?"

Seeing Tang Qunying coming out, the young colonel immediately stepped forward.

He speaks Mandarin.

Speaking of Mandarin, it used to be called Guanhua.It's not that a group of politicians meet and vote to make a certain dialect official, it's all family dialect.The current national language was proofread word by word by the Beiyang government after the founding of the Republic of China.

At that time, most of the experts from Jiangsu and Zhejiang were experts from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, especially from Jiangsu, so many people were worried that they would directly change Wu dialect into Mandarin.Therefore, under the pressure of public opinion, the Beiyang government could only adjust the list of experts several times.However, the culture of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is strong, and it has always been a place where talented people come forth in large numbers.So no matter how you adjust it, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang language experts still have the absolute advantage.

But they were not selfish.The national language they formulated was still dominated by the official dialect of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.Tang Qunying has been in Beijing for many years, and for people like them who are engaged in political movements, learning Mandarin is a must.
