"What can't be done, now we control Zhongchuan by ourselves, but we don't have to act according to the face of the court at all. In the future, our army will be modernized and reorganized, and we will also establish a staff headquarters. The chief of staff must be Brother Fang Zhen. I The general office of this Army University is just a name, and you should also be a name in the future." Zhao Shouhong smiled and said: "I think we will have a new look, and even the name will be changed to the habit of the West Continent. From now on, I will be the honorary principal. You It’s the principal, let Hu Jingyi take charge of the school’s work and be the executive vice principal.”

"How can I do this? I have neither talent nor qualifications." Jiang Fangzhen kept evasive, Zhao Shouhong waved his hand and said, "Don't say that, from now on we will only ask about ability and not qualifications. Whoever has ability can become a high-ranking official, and those who are incompetent will be let down." It is also uncomfortable for him to be in the position, so he might as well do what he should do."

"Yes, didn't the chairman always say that Chen Li should only list those who can't? I think we should set a new rule in this new atmosphere. It depends on seniority." Pan Wenhua also expressed his support.In fact, he was the oldest person under Zhao Shouhong's staff. If he could support this, no one would dare to make irresponsible remarks.

"Report, there is an urgent military situation." The confidential secretary in charge of the telegraph room reported outside.

"Come in, do you have any military sentiments?" Zhao Shouhong waved his hand.

The confidential secretary stood at attention: "The Seventh Patrol Battalion took Li Jishen to call. The Seventh and Tenth Patrol Battalions jointly pursued and killed more than 11 comrades from the Eastern Sichuan Comrade Army and captured 7000 people. The enemy generals Zhang Dasan and Long Ming Killed with a sword, the leaders She Ying and Qin Zaigeng led the remnants to withdraw into the Huaying Mountains. In addition, Zhu Daizhen of the First Patrol Battalion called to recapture Rong County.

"Okay, in this way, the whole of Zhongchuan will be settled down." Pan Wenhua slapped his thigh with a smile and said.

"Yes, Zhongchuan is considered peaceful, but our mission has just begun. Immediately convene a general meeting to discuss the next work arrangement." Zhao Shouhong nodded.

The chaos in Zhongchuan subsided half a month after Zhao Shouhong arrived, and the troops chasing into the Huaying mountain area, under the support of Chen Hu's special team, encircled and suppressed She Ying and others.She Ying and others, who had no weapons and ammunition and even lacked food, were defeated in successive battles, and Qin Zageng was also killed in battle. In the end, She Ying had to take a few cronies and escape from Zhongchuan in disguise.Those Gelaohui members under She Ying died and fell, and it was no longer a climate.Zhang Jiexian and others quickly took over the territory of Eastern Sichuan and unified the entire Gelaohui in Zhongchuan.

3Chapter 17 Military and Political Reorganization

"Today's meeting is very important. It is to decide the path we will take next and the development of Zhongchuan." Zhao Shouhong stood on the rostrum, looked at the densely packed officials and military officers, and said the opening remarks with a solemn expression .

Seeing Zhao Shouhong's solemn expression, the officers who were excited about taking control of Zhongchuan and defeating the Comrade Army suddenly calmed down. They knew that today was definitely not a simple celebration.

"I am very satisfied with everyone's performance, but controlling Zhongchuan is not our ultimate goal. What we have to do is to win the living space for the nation and the country, and create a world that truly belongs to the Hualan people." Zhao Shouhong waved his hand Dao: "Occupying Zhongchuan is only the first step for us. We have just embarked on the journey starting today. I want to send a word to all comrades here. The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard. Remember to remember."

Zhao Shouhong dared to say the word "revolution" at the meeting, which was tantamount to announcing his separation from the imperial court. Except that he did not oppose the later Jin court on the surface, Zhongchuan was de facto independent.Hearing this sentence, the people sitting below were very excited. As for which of them was excited by the great development of the revolution, and which one thought they had the opportunity to be a hero of the founding of the country, only I knew.

"Next, I will announce the future appointment of the Zhongchuan government. Although we will not violate the imperial court system on the surface, our internal organization must become more efficient and clean. I announce the establishment of the Zhongchuan government, and I will serve as the governor of the government , with Xie Mingjue as Prime Minister in charge of daily government work, Zhang Liewu as Minister of Industry and Commerce, responsible for the province's industrial and commercial development, Deng Zhicheng as Minister of Education, in charge of education, Shen Ruoxue as Minister of Finance, in charge of the province's finances, and Yang Cansan as deputy At the same time, he also serves as the general manager of Zhongchuan Industrial and Commercial Bank....The patrol bureau was changed to the police station, and Zhang Yi continued to be the director general." Every time Zhao Shouhong read a name, the person concerned would stand up and bow to everyone to show his acceptance of the appointment.

After reading the names of Zhongchuan government officials and officials at all levels below, Zhao Shouhong looked at the officers sitting on the other side.After talking about government affairs, the rest is naturally military affairs. Those officers are all looking forward to seeing what kind of establishment they can get.

Zhao Shouhong went on to say: "The army also needs to be restructured. The new army will temporarily be renamed the Sichuan Army. We will use the Western military division brigade battalion to replace the imperial court's Zhenxie standard team. The army will establish a staff headquarters in Shudu, with Jiang Fangzhen as the general manager. Chief of staff, Pang Bingxun is the deputy chief of staff, as for the staff, you can draw from various units, or you can recruit from the staff department of the Army University, but I have one thing to tell you, you are not allowed to transfer the chief officer of the unit.”

"Yes." Jiang Fangzhen and Pang Bingxun stood up at the same time and accepted the appointment.

Seeing that even the staff headquarters had been established, everyone started whispering.Zhao Shouhong patted the table and said, "Don't make noise, where are all your military regulations?" Zhao Shouhong snarled, and the officers didn't dare to speak. .

Zhao Shouhong nodded in satisfaction. He picked up the prepared document and continued to read: "Establish the First Army of the Sichuan Army, with Wu Ziyu as the commander, and four divisions under it. Pan Wenhua, commander of the first infantry division, and Pan Wenhua, commander of the second infantry division. Division Commander Zhou Daogang, Commander Xu Haiqing of the Third Infantry Division, Commander Xu Xiaogang of the Artillery Division, and Deputy Commander Qi Xieyuan. The 11th Route Patrol Battalion was reorganized into the Independent Brigade of the Sichuan Army. The Commander of the First Independent Brigade Zhu Daizhen, the Commander of the Second Independent Brigade Yang Sen, and the Third Independent Brigade Brigadier Wang Boling, Li Jichen, commander of the Fourth Independent Brigade, Yu Feipeng, commander of the Fifth Independent Brigade, Gao Yuhan, commander of the Sixth Independent Brigade, Xiong Chengji, commander of the Seventh Independent Brigade, Deng Xihou, commander of the Eighth Independent Brigade, and the commander of the Ninth Independent Brigade Brigade Commander Tian Songyao, Commander of the Tenth Independent Brigade Song Zheyuan, Commander of the No.12 Independent Brigade Lu Zhonglin, and Commander of the No.[-] Independent Brigade Liu Chengxun."

"In addition to these, we also need to establish some special forces. Among them, the special forces will be expanded to thousands of people. As a division-level unit, the division commander will be Chen Hu. The military police brigade will be formed to maintain military discipline in the entire army, and the brigade will be led by Zhang Zhijiang. And the safety of all officials, brigade commander Wang Lingji. Form a special engineering brigade, brigade commander Liu Xiang." Zhao Shouhong thought very comprehensively and established the army according to a very scientific combination, but the subsequent appointments made everyone a little dazed .

"I announce that the Sichuan Army will establish a navy and an air force. The air force will establish the first regiment, headed by Li Ruyan. The navy will establish the Jiangfang Fleet, with the commander Liu Guanxiong. As for the military ranks of the various ministries, we will determine the military ranks later. The specific arrangement of the work and the garrison situation of the troops will be arranged in private after the meeting, and everyone will perform their own duties in the future to develop and grow me, Zhongchuan."

"Follow the command of the commander-in-chief." Everyone stood up and saluted Zhao Shouhong.

Everyone slowly left the meeting room, Zhao Shouhong said to Deng Zhicheng next to him: "This time, Comrade Baolu's influence on Zhongchuan is very bad, but people outside don't understand it. Propagating their justice will have a negative impact on us. I ask you to organize people to immediately write factual reports and release the situation of the comrades’ poisoning of places. We must use radio and newspapers to vigorously publicize, and we must not lose to public opinion .Remember to send a report to Shi Liangcai, and let Shenbao also condemn them, and attach photos to make it more convincing.”

"But now we can't openly oppose the imperial court. It seems that such propaganda is not good." Deng Zhicheng said.

Zhao Shouhong shook his head: "We don't talk about being against the imperial court, we only say that the Comrade Army caused huge damage to the local area, and we wiped them out for the sake of the people's living and working in peace. Don't mention anything else, as long as everyone understands it in their hearts."

"Understood." Deng Zhicheng nodded and left.Although he is the Minister of Education, he is now also in charge of publicity. These things are his job.

"Lord Zhao is so wrongly loved, I really don't dare to be a subordinate." Seeing Deng Zhicheng leave, Liu Guanxiong walked up to him and bowed to salute.

Zhao Shouhong smiled and said: "I have said long ago that Zhongchuan Liangcai will not be ranked based on seniority. Brother Liu is a great talent, but he is dusty. Since he is willing to vote, I will naturally use it." Liu Guanxiong thanked him gratefully.

Liu Guanxiong once graduated from the fourth phase of the driving class of the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Academy, and later became a student of the third phase of studying abroad in Saar. He can be regarded as an old man of the Houjinshui Division.He has rich commanding experience. He once served as the first officer of the Jingyuan ship in the Yellow Sea naval battle, assisted Ye Zugui in commanding the battle, and then participated in the Weihai naval battle. He performed bravely in the battle and persisted in fighting until the Jingyuan ship capsized.

Chapter 348 The Grace of Knowledge

After the talents of the Northern Territory Navy withered, Liu Guanxiong was not dismissed due to defeat like many Northern Territory officers, but was fortunately assigned to go to the Teutonic Kingdom to receive new warships. The 850 tons ordered by the Northern Territory Navy at the Vulcan Shipyard Destroyer Eagle.

After returning to China, Liu Guanxiong was appointed as the leader of the Flying Eagle. At that time, the Flying Eagle was the largest of the five remaining warships of the Beiyu Navy, which shows its importance.Originally, Liu Guanxiong had a bright future, but all this changed after he served as the leader of the Haitian Fleet.

The Haitian and Haiqi ships are sister ships, and they were part of the later Jin court's plan to revive the navy.The Haitian Ship was ordered from the Saar Kingdom, with a displacement of [-] tons. It and the Haiqi were the two largest cruisers in the Saar Kingdom Navy at that time, and they could be called the absolute main force.

However, during the Japanese-Japanese War, Liu Guanxiong commanded the Haitian ship to set off from Yantai and go to Jiangyin to load arms to assist Fengtian's defense.Due to the heavy fog at sea, he hit a reef by mistake and caused the sinking of the Haitian ship, so he was convicted and dismissed.

According to the historical trend, Yuan Kai will extend a helping hand in a timely manner in a few years later, and bring this frustrated naval general into his account, but it is a pity that there is an extra Zhao Shouhong.Because Zhao Shouhong took over the Jiangnan Dockyard, he angered Cen Chunxuan.

This lord Cen Chunxuan launched an incident against Yuan Wei earlier than in history, and as a result, the other party was in a hurry.After Yuan Kui was flustered for a while, he finally defeated Cen Chunxuan and consolidated his position in the court.But soon the empress dowager passed away, and Zaifeng demoted him back to his hometown. From the beginning to the end, he had no time to pay attention to the admiral, so Zhao Shouhong took advantage of it.

Originally, Zhao Shouhong didn't have much hope for Liu Guanxiong according to history, but then Wu Dezhang told him that Liu Guanxiong was still at home, which made the naval officer invited out.Originally, Liu Guanxiong thought that Zhao Shouhong would send him to a teaching position at the Maritime School if he invited him, but he didn't want Zhao Shouhong to recruit him to Zhongchuan.

Just when Liu Guanxiong was puzzled and didn't know why he, an admiral, was called to the mainland, Zhao Shouhong gave him ten shallow-water heavy artillery ships and a group of young boys who had just graduated from the maritime school.Seeing that he was assigned to a fleet, Liu Guanxiong was very excited. Although this was just an inland river fleet composed of small gunboats, it was enough to make him happy.

Afterwards, the situation in Zhongchuan was turbulent, but Liu Guanxiong stayed in the dock of Ningyuan Hall all the time, leading his men to practice water skills and improve their combat effectiveness.Even though Zhao Shouhong was transferred from Zhongchuan to work in the imperial capital, Liu Guanxiong did not give up.He always believed that the people he was following would definitely be able to return to Zhongchuan again.

The matter was predicted by Liu Guanxiong, and Zhao Shouhong returned to Zhongchuan as expected, and this time he had been promoted from chief envoy to governor.Because Liu Guanxiong insisted on training the fleet all the time, those fledgling young men are now good at water, so Zhao Shouhong appointed him as the commander of the fleet.Because Zhao Shouhong promoted himself, a person who followed Riqian and had no military exploits, to a high position regardless of his seniority. Liu Guanxiong was grateful, and he secretly vowed in his heart that he must do some good things.

"Brother Liu's burden is not light. From now on, your Inland River Fleet will take on the task of covering the freight fleet between Zhongchuan and Guanghai. The burden is not light." Zhao Shouhong assigned the task in a low voice.

Liu Guanxiong patted his chest and assured: "This task is simple, and I will definitely be able to complete it. I think there are not many bandits on the Yangtze River, and it is enough to follow two shallow water gunboats each time."

"We are aiming at military training. Brother Liu should send more warships. In addition, I have another task for you. You must clearly investigate the water depths of the Yangtze River within half a year. We will be of great use in the future." Zhao Shouhong His voice was lowered.

"Could it be, my lord..." Liu Guanxiong was startled, Zhao Shouhong's words meant a lot of ambition.

Zhao Shouhong nodded: "Brother Liu should know about this matter, don't spread it to the outside world. In addition, the gunboats should be covered with guncoats when they sail. After all, we have to cover our eyes, so as not to make it difficult for the court to go down the steps."

"I know. I'll make arrangements now. There will be a cargo fleet departing tomorrow. I will personally lead the escort." Liu Guanxiong nodded.

"That's good, Brother Liu is tired." Zhao Shouhong sent Liu Guanxiong away with a smile, seeing that almost everyone had left, Zhao Shouhong just wanted to leave, but was stopped by a person.The person who came was Liu Hongkui, the standard commander of the cavalry, but he had nothing to do with the assignment this time, which made him very anxious.

Just now I saw someone talking to Zhao Shouhong, in order not to refute the chairman's face, he has been patient by the side.Now that everyone was gone, Zhao Shouhong also planned to leave, so he stepped forward to salute: "Cover, go slowly, I have something to say."

"Brother Liu?" Zhao Shouhong looked at Liu Hongkui with a smile on his forehead, as if he didn't know why he came.

"This... everyone has assigned new numbers and tasks, but we don't have the cavalry standard. I don't know what the governor wants us to do?" Liu Hongkui asked hastily.

Zhao Shouhong looked at Liu Hongkui's anxious look and laughed: "Let's go to my house for dinner, and I'll talk to you when we get there. Because some problems have not been resolved, the cavalry mark cannot be placed now, but you will be satisfied after a few days."

Regardless of Liu Hongkui's thoughts, Zhao Shouhong dragged him away.When I came to Zhao Shouhong's house, several people had already gathered here, most of them were members of the Seven Pioneer Party.After setting down a table of sumptuous dishes, Zhao Shouhong invited everyone to sit down, and even Shen Ruoxue took their seats.Only then did Zhao Shouhong raise his glass and said, "From now on, our Hualan Pioneer Party can be regarded as having our first piece of territory. From now on, we will rely on Zhongchuan to develop and grow, and work hard for the rise of our Hualan. Cheers. "

"Cheers to the rise of Hualan." Everyone agreed and drank the wine in their glasses.

After toasting a glass of wine, everyone chatted casually while eating the dishes. Seeing that everyone seemed to have no intention of talking about business, Liu Hongkui became even more anxious.After drinking two glasses of wine, Liu Hongkui came over with the wine glass: "Commander, please hurry up and talk about any appointments for our cavalry. My old Liu is straightforward, and I can't bear it for so long."

Zhao Shouhong said: "The cavalry is about to be eliminated, but it is still very useful in the past few years. I will keep it for the time being. However, the number of Zhongchuan cavalry is too small, and the Sichuan horses are too short. It is really embarrassing to use them." Zhao Shouhong The words made Liu Hongkui's heart rise to his throat, and he was afraid that Zhao Shouhong would say the words of withdrawal.

Chapter 349 Bringing Troops into Xining

Zhao Shouhong changed the subject and said with a smile: "I got a good job in the imperial capital. Now I am not only the governor of Zhongchuan, but also the minister of Xining, under the jurisdiction of Qingyuan 36 Banner. There are many good hands of the Huns there. I plan to Let you go to Qingyuan to expand an independent cavalry division."

"Independent cavalry division?" Liu Hongkui's eyes lit up immediately: "I don't know what kind of establishment this independent division is?"

Zhao Shouhong said: "It is definitely the equipment of the regular army. It only has three regiments under its jurisdiction, but they are all full-staffed troops. There must be more than 1 people in total."
