Beiyang reactionaries

"Row."

People's Party.

Duan Xun began to recruit party members in his own army.Especially for these young officers, Duan Xun plans to attract a large number of young officers into the party he founded.Then use organizational discipline to restrain these young officers.

Master the army.

That's the thing to do at this stage.However, the People's Party currently has a small number of people, most of whom are senior generals trusted by Duan Xun and senior government officials who support Duan Xun.The membership of the BJP is not growing that fast.Instead, the number of peripheral youth groups began to skyrocket.Don't underestimate many young military officers in this era, they are still full of enthusiasm and want to serve the country and the people.

An excellent political program can attract a large number of young people to join.

Not only the military academies, but also major colleges and universities in Sichuan, and the Youth League, a peripheral organization of the People's Party, have also begun to appear.There are even schools without youth leagues, and those students themselves organize some similar groups to promote the book "New Three People's Principles" that is currently circulating in Sichuan.Young people are most likely to be agitated by such political slogans and programs.

They don't lack blood, enthusiasm, but experience and reason.

However, Duan Xun is using their youth and enthusiasm to attract these young people to join the Youth League.Duan Xun reported the roster of the youth league all the time, and Duan Xun kept abreast of the development of the youth league at all times.As long as these youth groups have been inspected for a period of time, they will gradually be absorbed into the People's Party.

It has only been four months since Duan Xun founded the People's Party in Chongqing.But the peripheral youth league of the People's Party already has thousands of members in Chengdu alone.The development is very rapid.

82 Army Expansion 4

"Everyone has heard. I intend to expand the army."

On October 1916, 10, Duan Xun held the first military meeting of the whole army after becoming the governor of Sichuan in Chengdu.Those who participated were all senior military officials of Duan Xun's Ministry.Duan Xun sat on it, and below the front were officers working in the Governor's Mansion, such as Xiong Kewu, You Min, Li Bingzhi, Deng Hanxiang, Xu Yongchang, and Zhang Shichen.

Below that are Li Jishen, Shang Zhen, Fang Dingying, Wan Xuancai, Liu Xiang, Yu Xuezhong, Han Linchun, Li Weiru, Song Tiancai, Duan Yong, Yu Jitang and other senior generals leading the Duan Xun Department.Then there are Wang Tianpei, Tang Shengzhi, Tao Jichang (Tao Zhiyue), Bai Chongxi, Wang Yanxu, Tian Songyao, Chen Guodong, Lai Xinhui, Lu Zhonglin, Pan Wenhua, Deng Xihou, Xia Zhishi, Yan Deji, Sun Zhen, Wang Tianzhen (Wang Weizhou), Liu Mingzhao (Liu Bocheng) ), Li Hong (Primary Six), Zhang Zizhong and other mid-level officers in the army.

More than 100 officers attended the meeting, including most of the middle and senior officers of Duan Xun's Department.

"I know that there are a lot of news during this period. But before confirming the expansion of the troops, I will first announce some organizational changes in my Sichuan Governor's Mansion. Zhang Shichen."

"arrive."

"Appoint Zhang Shichen as the director of the logistics department of the Sichuan Governor's Mansion, and take full charge of all the logistics of the army."

"Yes."

Zhang Shichen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

My subordinates Wan Xuancai and Song Tiancai were promoted very quickly, because they all made contributions on the battlefield and had military merits.And I seem to be the most useless, so I am still very worried.

Especially after Xiong Kewu took refuge in Duan Xun, he was in charge of the logistics department of the Governor's Mansion, which made Zhang Shichen even more worried.Zhang Shichen knew that he was far behind many people.Fortunately, Duan Xun did not forget himself as an old courtier, and still made himself the head of the logistics department.

The current logistics department is completely different from that in Western Henan.The status is different.At that time, there were only a few thousand or 1 people in charge, but now it is managing the logistics of the entire Sichuan army.

"Xiong Kewu."

"arrive."

"Appointing Xiong Kewu as the Minister of Military Affairs of the Sichuan Governor's Mansion, the promotion and appointment of officers above the regiment level of the army need to be stamped with the seal of the Ministry of Military Affairs."

"Yes."

Xiong Kewu.

The status in Sichuan is too high and the influence is too great.Duan Xun thought a lot about how to use Xiong Kewu.Originally, I wanted Xiong Kewu to manage the logistics, but then I thought that Xiong Kewu had too much power.

Managing logistics does not seem as majestic as leading troops, but the power in their hands is very great.After all, the logistics of the entire Sichuan army is in the hands of the logistics department.This includes weapons and ammunition, eating and drinking, all of which are managed by the logistics department, which has too much power.

Therefore, Xiong Kewu was finally selected as the Minister of Military Affairs.

This position is very important and has a high status.But in the same way, the promotion of officers above the regimental level (including the regiment leader) is simply impossible without Duan Xun's consent.In other words, the Ministry of Military Affairs seems to have a lot of power, but it is actually just the secretarial agency of Duan Xun Governor's Mansion.

If Duan Xun decentralizes power, then the Ministry of Military Affairs is the most powerful in the Governor's Mansion.But once Duan Xun gathers the power, the Ministry of Military Affairs is Duan Xun's secretarial organization without any power.

Duan Xun still needs to control Xiong Kewu at this stage.

"Deng Hanxiang."

"arrive."

"Appoint Deng Hanxiang as the Secretary-General of the Governor's Mansion in Sichuan, and the daily work of the Governor's Mansion is in charge of the Secretary-General."

"Yes."

This is where the real gold is.Relying on this position, Deng Hanxiang became a real boss in the military.After all, as long as Duan Xun is away, Deng Hanxiang is responsible for the general daily work.

The several departments of the Governor's Mansion usually obey Deng Hanxiang's command.

"Xu Yongchang."

"arrive."

"Appoint Xu Yongchang as the head of the staff department of the Governor's Mansion in Sichuan. The staff department is responsible for the training plans, combat plans, and combat orders of the troops. He is also the director of the Academic Affairs Department of the Governor's Mansion and is responsible for the establishment of the Sichuan Military Academy."

"Yes."

If you become the governor of Sichuan, you will no longer be a grass-roots team.Duan Xun needs to improve his military governor's mansion, or make his military governor's mansion more and more formal.Therefore, Duan Xun established important institutions of the Governor's Mansion one after another, and began to appoint important officials of the Governor's Mansion.

"You Min."

"arrive."

"Appoint You Min as the Chief Inspector of the Military Discipline Department of the Sichuan Governor's Mansion, and take full responsibility for the military discipline of the Sichuan Army."

"Yes."

"Chen Guodong."

"arrive."

"Appoint Chen Guodong as the head of the mobilization department of the Sichuan Governor's Mansion. He is responsible for recruiting and training recruits. In the future, the army will expand, and private recruitment is not allowed. The mobilization department will supplement the troops."

"Yes."

Chen Guodong was overjoyed.

How can I be dissatisfied that I am a defeated and captured officer who has suddenly become the general of the Governor's Mansion.I am very grateful to Duan Xun in my heart. If it weren't for the teacher-student relationship, how could Duan Xun choose himself.

"This is the case for the changes in the military governor's office. Any changes in the future will be notified to the troops. Brother Biaochen (Li Bingzhi)."

"General."

Most of these people who came today are direct descendants of Duan Xun.Even Xiong Kewu and the others have defected to Duan Xun now. The troops have accepted Duan Xun's reorganization and are now accepting Duan Xun's appointment and command.Although I dare not say how much loyalty they have to Duan Xun, at least they are all directly subordinates of Duan Xun now.

Only Li Bing's identity is a little embarrassing.

After all, Li Bingzhi is the commander of the No.13 mixed brigade appointed by the Beiyang government, and he is the commander of the mixed brigade of the regular army of the Beiyang Army.But now his troops are in Sichuan, and they have to accept the command of the Sichuan Governor.
