Beiyang reactionaries

But Han Jianduo was still uneasy.

Seeing Li Jishen, a prominent figure in the Sichuan military, make such a statement today, half of Han Jianduo's worries disappeared.So Han Jianduo said very politely: "General Li, I dare not be that."

"Commander Han, these people are..."

"This is Chief of Staff Dou Juren, and this is Battalion Commander Zhou Xicheng. Mao Guangxiang, Jiang Zaizhen, and Wang Jialie are all rising stars of the Guizhou Army."

"I have long admired the name."

Li Ji greeted several people politely.

"Commander, please come inside."

Yan Deji stepped forward to talk to Li Jishen.Li Jishen shook his head and said, "No, I still have things to do. Min Yu (Tao Zhiyue), I heard that General Zhou Ru's family is in Zunyi, right?"

"Yes."

Tao Jichang has been stationed near Zunyi some time ago. In addition to reorganizing the militia here and suppressing bandits around Zunyi, he just understands the situation in Zunyi.It is also good to provide the best intelligence to the later troops.So Li Jishen asked Zhou Ru, and Tao Jichang answered immediately.

Because Zhou Ru was the first group of people in Guizhou to study in Japanese non-commissioned officer schools, and he was also a well-known figure in Guizhou in the year of Xinhai.Tao Ji often came to Zunyi, how could such a person not get to know him.In fact, Tao Jichang knew about the gentry in Zunyi and had records.

"I'll go meet this Xin Hai hero first."

"Commander, I'll go with you."

"it is good."

Li Jishen nodded, and then said to Han Jianduo: "Commander Han, I, Li Jishen, have neglected you today. After I settle down, I must treat Commander Han well."

"Don't dare."

"Ying Chun (Yan Deji), the army has just been reorganized, and you must be very busy. Leave me alone and take care of your business first. We'll talk about it tonight."

"Yes."

Yan Deji had just served as the commander of the Independent Brigade of the First Army of the Southwest Frontier Army, and he came to Zunyi only a few days earlier than Li Jishen.It is still in the stage of getting familiar with the army, and there are countless things in hand.It was because Li Jishen arrived in Zunyi today that he put aside his work to welcome Li Jishen.

After disbanding the troops, Li Jishen followed Tao Jichang to Zhou Ru's house.

"Min Yu, what is the combat effectiveness of Han Jianduo's Guizhou army?"

"It's not bad. Their weapons and equipment are not very good, and their tactical ability is not too strong, but they are still very brave. Especially Zhou Xicheng, who manages the army very strictly, and the morale of the troops is also high. Among Dou Juren's troops, only The one belonging to Zhou Xicheng's tribe has the strongest fighting power. However, this person also has a very bad habit."

"what?"

"He is the battalion commander, but almost all the officers in the army are relatives and fellow villagers from Tongzi. The few young officers who came today are all officers from Zhou Xicheng's department, and they are all from Tongzi. Zhou Xicheng's army is Dou Juren. Don’t make a move. Commander Han Jianduo also let him go because of Zhou Xicheng’s strong fighting power.”

"It's nothing."

Li Ji smiled deeply, and said: "Which army in China is not like this now. Teachers and students, classmates, fellow villagers, relatives, this is the composition of most of the army. But this trend cannot last long. I have heard about Zhou Xicheng, yes A fierce general of the Qian army. When defending the country, he fought bravely in Qijiang. Even Wu Peifu spoke highly of Zhou Xicheng at that time. I guess the teacher (Duan Xun) also prefers generals like Zhou Xicheng. But if he doesn’t change his behavior I'm afraid the teacher won't use him."

"Yes."

Duan Xun himself wantonly used his students, used his classmates, and used his fellow villagers.But he didn't allow the people under him to form a small team like this.If Zhou Xicheng only knew how to build a small team, then Duan Xun would never use him.

"Let your subordinates have time to get in touch with this Zhou Xicheng and remind him a little bit. If he is smart, he should understand what we mean. If he doesn't understand, or pretends not to understand, then this kind of person will Just don’t bother, the layout is too low and there won’t be much development.”

Li Jishen cherishes talent.

Although Zhou Xicheng is only a small battalion-level officer in the Guizhou Army, but because of his brave style of leading troops, especially in Qijiang, he is the same as Yang Ruxuan, a young officer of the Dian Army, who emerged during the National Defense War.

In the current Chinese army, fierce generals are very popular.

Because in the current Chinese war, under normal circumstances, as long as the troops are brave, there is basically no position that cannot be broken.Not to mention now, even in wars more than ten or twenty years later, fierce generals are still very popular.

That's why Li Jishen was going to send someone to remind Zhou Xicheng.If Zhou Xicheng was smart, then Li Jishen would definitely use him again.If this person can't understand his reminder, no matter if he is pretending to be stupid or really stupid, Li Jishen will not use him.

People who only know how to protect their own small interests and do not have a big structure will never have great development.Li Jishen didn't like this kind of person either.

"Yes, Commander."

Tao Ji often nodded.

Although the current Zunyi is a big city in Guizhou, Zunyi has a population of only 10,000+, which is completely incomparable with Sichuan.The current Sichuan, cities like Chengdu and Chongqing have a population of one million.Even Wanxian, which has just opened a customs branch, has a population of more than 50, which is larger than the population of Zunyi.But yes, Sichuan now has a population of 5000 million, while Guizhou only has a population of 1000 million.

It didn't take long for Li Jishen to arrive at the door of an almshouse.

"Commander, Zhou Ru is here. Since he retired from politics, he has been taking care of this almshouse."

"Overqualified, really overqualified."

Li Jishen looked at this not very big almshouse and shook his head repeatedly.It's really unexpected that Zhou Ru, the leader of the Guizhou Army who was also regarded as an all-powerful man in the past, would waste his talent in such a place.

"Min Yu, you go in person. Tell Zhou Ru that Li Jishen is visiting, and remember to be more respectful."

"Yes."

Many people poked their heads out at the door of the almshouse.Because Li Jishen came to look for Zhou Ru, Tao Jichang definitely couldn't be at home, so he just followed a few people.After all, Li Jishen is a military giant on Duan Xun's side, and is currently the commander of the First Army.How dare Tao Jichang neglect the safety of such a character.Therefore, behind Li Jishen was a mighty battalion of troops, which not only blocked the roads on both sides, but also dozens of personal soldiers surrounded Li Jishen.

Such a large formation must have attracted the attention of many people on this street.

After a while, a 35-year-old middle-aged man came out wearing a gray-blue long coat.Tao Jichang took a step behind and followed the middle-aged man out.When he was in front of Li Jishen, Tao Jichang quickly stepped forward and said to the middle-aged man, "Mr. Ziguang, this is Commander Li Jishen of our First Army."

After introducing Li Jishen to the middle-aged man, he said to Li Jishen, "Commander, this is Zhou Ru, Mr. Ziguang."

Zhou Ru.

Graduates of Japanese non-commissioned officers in the early years, founders of the Guizhou Army in the early years, and bosses of the Guizhou Army in the early years.However, Zhou Ru, who is only 35 and six years old now, has long since lost his all-powerful soldier appearance, and is more like a teacher.

After hearing Tao Jichang's introduction, Zhou Ru smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "General Li, hello."

"Mr. Ziguang, I have admired your name for a long time. Junior Li Jishen is taking the liberty to visit, please forgive me for disturbing you."

"Don't dare."

Zhou Ru waved his hands, and then said naturally: "General Li, this place is narrow. If you don't mind, you can sit in the humble house."

"That's my honor."

"Please."

"Please."

"General Li, try my Duyun Maojian."

"Thank you, Mr. Ziguang."
