Beiyang reactionaries

After more than three years of silence, he finally came out again.For Zhou Ru, who wants to make contributions, this is a very good opportunity, an opportunity to re-emerge in the military and political circles.

"Wang Mingzhang."

"arrive."

"Your troops are temporarily under the command of General Zhou Ru, assisting General Zhou Ru to recruit recruits in Guiyang and Zunyi, and also responsible for training these recruits."

"Yes."

"Zhou Xicheng."

"arrive."

"I'll second two of your subordinates, Mao Guangxiang and Wang Jialie, as well as a company of yours, and ask them to temporarily join Wang Mingzhang's troops to cooperate with General Zhou Ru's actions."

"Yes."

Before Zhou Xicheng came to Guiyang, Tao Jichang asked Wang Tianci to talk to him.Wang Tianci graduated from Guizhou Martial Arts Hall, and later defected to his elder brother.His elder brother is Duan Xun's favorite general. He previously served as the head of the third regiment of the Fourth Mixed Brigade. After the fourth mixed brigade was expanded into the No.30 Fourth Division, Wang Tianpei was the commander of the No.60 Eighth Brigade.Wang Tianci is Wang Tianpei's younger brother, and the two are brothers.

After Wang Tianci defected to Wang Tianpei, he performed well in the army. He participated in several trainings for the teaching brigade and the officer brigade. He had just been promoted to the head of the fifth regiment of the first division.Both Wang Tianpei and Wang Tianci are from Guizhou, so they are suitable for talking with Zhou Xicheng.

Wang Tianci very much hopes that there will be more Guizhou people in Duan Xun's troops.Among the current Duan Xun troops, there are only two officers from Guizhou, Wang Tianpei and Wang Tianci.

Therefore, Wang Tianci told Zhou Xicheng clearly what Duan Xun likes and what he doesn't like.Tell Zhou Xicheng that Zhou Xicheng's performance in the war of protecting the country made his name already on Duan Xun's desk.As long as Zhou Xicheng is smarter, the future is limitless.

This time Li Jishen wanted to transfer some officers from Zhou Xicheng's department, but Zhou Xicheng didn't dare to say anything, he could only accept it.Sometimes I feel in my heart that this is Li Jishen wanting to reuse himself.But sometimes I feel that Li Jishen is trying to suppress himself.

In fact, it was Zhou Xicheng who was suspicious.

At Zhou Xicheng's level, although he performed well in the War to Protect the Nation, he was not really remembered by Duan Xun and the others.If it weren't for Li Jishen to balance the officers of the Qian army, he wouldn't have gotten into Li Jishen's eyes at all.Li Jishen is now leading so many troops, there are hundreds of battalion-level cadres, how can he remember one person.

"The First Infantry Brigade of the Sichuan-Guizhou Anti-smoking Supervision Administration under Commander Han Jianduo, and the Fifth Regiment of the First Division of the Southwest Frontier Defense Army were reorganized into the First Army Special Operations Brigade of the Southwest Frontier Defense Army, with two infantry regiments under its jurisdiction. The first of the Southwest Frontier Defense Army The fifth regiment of the division was reorganized into the first regiment of the special warfare brigade, with Wang Tianci as its head. The first infantry brigade of the Sichuan and Guizhou Anti-smoking Supervision Administration was reorganized into the second regiment of the special warfare brigade, with Zhou Xicheng as its leader. Liu Duanshang."

"arrive."

"Originally, the First Army of the Southwest Frontier Defense Army did not have the establishment of a special warfare brigade. But before I entered Guizhou, the teacher (Duan Xun) personally told me: Shuyuan (Liu Duanshang) is a general, and must not be buried. Therefore, special The special warfare brigade was established. Liu Duanshang was appointed as the commander of the special warfare brigade of the First Army of the Southwest Frontier Defense Army."

"Yes."

Liu Duanchang didn't show any expression.

There was neither excitement nor gratitude.Li Ji smiled deeply, as Duan Xun said, Liu Duanshang is a very good soldier.The reason why Duan Xun specifically talked about Liu Duanshang was because Liu Duanshang, Duan Xun's lover Xu Yongchang and Sun Zhen were both students of Baoding Military Academy, and they were actually Duan Xun's students.

Among the military officers in Guizhou, there are only a handful of them who have studied in Baoding Military Academy, and the only one who has studied under Duan Xun is Liu Duanshang.But he gave Duan Xun a good impression, because he was not as resourceful as Xu Yongchang, nor as active as Sun Zhen.Although Liu Duanshang also supported the revolution, he himself participated in the Wuchang Uprising and was a representative of the students of Wuchang Army Middle School at that time.But Liu Duanshang usually doesn't show it very clearly, and is a little more stable than other students.Even a revolution does not depend solely on passion, and Sun Zhen is far behind in this regard.Liu Duanshang's status in the revolutionary party was higher than that of Sun Zhen, and his prestige in the revolutionary party was also higher than that of Sun Zhen.But Sun Zhen was expelled from Baoding Military Academy for being too active, while Liu Duanshang was studying hard at Baoding Military Academy.

But speaking of Liu Duanshang, although later generations don't know much about him, and there is not much information about him, he is a passionate soldier.

Historically, in 1923, the Guizhou Army was stationed in Chongqing.British warships sailed into Chaotianmen Port at the confluence of the Jialing River and the Yangtze River, forcibly docked, and bombarded the mountain city, creating the famous "Chongqing Tragedy".Yuan Zuming happened to be in Chongqing at that time, so he could only choose to be patient.After all, it was a British warship, and there were a few who really dared to offend the British.However, Liu Duanshang, who served as the chief of staff under Yuan Zuming and the commander of the 68th Brigade at that time, fired back and drove the British warship away from Chongqing.For a while, Liu Duanshang became famous all over the world and became the famous "anti-imperial general" at that time.

But because of his decision without authorization, Yuan Zuming was furious, so Liu Duanshang could only leave Chongqing and live in seclusion in Shanghai for six years.When the Anti-Japanese War broke out, he joined the Sichuan Army and participated in the Battle of Taierzhuang.After the failure of the Xuzhou battle, Sun Zhen served as the temporary commander-in-chief of the former enemy of the 22nd Army of Sun Zhen, and the whole team moved to Xiangfan, Hubei.

That's why Duan Xun specifically mentioned him.

After all, he is his own student.This time I went to Guizhou, no matter what I had to promote a group of officers from Guizhou to tell the officers of the Guizhou army and the people of Guizhou that I treated Guizhou officers equally.Since they are all going to reuse a group of Guizhou military officers, apart from Han Jianduo (although he is from Yunnan, but he has been in Guizhou for many years and is a leader of the Guizhou Army) and Zhou Ru, the depressed former senior officials of the Guizhou Army, he should promote his own students. It is more in line with Duan Xun's interests.

That's why they turned to create a special warfare brigade.

As for the two regiments in this establishment, Zhou Xicheng was recommended by Li Jishen to Duan Xun, and they were also the model officers of the Guizhou Army that Li Jishen planned to set up.As for the other regiment, Wang Tianci is not only the younger brother of Duan Xun's favorite general Wang Tianpei, but also a student who has been taught by Duan Xun several times.He is one of a group of mid-level officers trained by Duan Xun. He belongs to Duan Xun's students and belongs to Duan Xun's direct line.So despite the fact that the main officers of this special warfare brigade are all from Guizhou, they are completely under Li Jishen's control.

Only Dou Juren is a little depressed.

But there is no way.The relationship between Dou Juren and Wang Wenhua is too good, Duan Xun is worried, and Li Jishen is also worried.If Dou Juren is an idiot, then maybe he will hang high.But Dou Juren is not only not an idiot, but also a man with both civil and military skills. Li Jishen is worried about letting him continue to lead the army.When Wang Wenhua is really expelled, when Guizhou is really controlled, whether Duan Xun or Li Jishen, they don't mind reusing Dou Juren, because Dou Juren is really capable.But not now.

"The three appointments have been announced. Now everyone express their views on the plan of the training department."

130 Control Guizhou 2

"Commander, let me speak first."

As soon as Li Jishen finished speaking, Wang Boqun stood up.

Wang Boqun attended this meeting on behalf of Wang Wenhua.Although Wang Wenhua has decided to join the Dharma protection, his troops are currently short of money and weapons, and the war in Hunan is in a state of anxiety, so Wang Wenhua still doesn't want to express his opinion.After all, there are many Beiyang Army troops around me, and it is easy to be besieged if I declare that I will join the French Guardian Army.At least your own troops will meet with the Dharma Protector, or after contacting the Dharma Protector, find a suitable opportunity to decide on the Dharma Protector.

So when Li Jishen held the meeting, Wang Boqun still attended on behalf of Wang Wenhua.

"Please say."

"Commander, when the Second Route Army of the Guizhou Army set off, General Duan said that he would let us supplement the military pay and weapons and ammunition for half a year in Zhenyuan. But when our troops arrived in Zhenyuan, why didn't they see the promised military pay and weapons? ammunition."

Wang Boqun questioned Li Jishen.

Wang Wenhua was very angry.Although I didn't think that Duan Xun would really supplement them with half a year's military pay and weapons and ammunition, but at least some should be given.But when the troops came to Zhenyuan from Guiyang, there was no bullshit.

Even Duan Xun's troops in Zhenyuan didn't pay attention to Wang Wenhua at all, and there was no sign of logistics supplies.In one sentence, are you playing with me?

It is too much.

You are a dignified commander-in-chief of suppressing bandits in the three provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou. What you say is like farting.Therefore, Wang Boqun participated in the meeting more because he wanted to discuss with Li Jishen for military pay, weapons and ammunition.

Anything should be given.

Anyway, Wang Wenhua's troops were not many, only a few thousand.Duan Xun casually leaked a little bit between his fingers, and it was enough for Wang Wenhua's troops.

"oops."

Li Jishen immediately patted his forehead.

Some embarrassed said: "I'm really sorry. General Wang, it's not that we want to break our promise. Originally, we have prepared the military pay, weapons and ammunition needed by the Second Route Army of the Qian Army, and we will send them to Zhenyuan. But unfortunately, You also know that the troops of General Fu Liangzuo and the troops of the three provinces of Hunan, Guangxi and Guangdong have already fought in Xiangtan and Hengshan. At the same time, some garrison troops in the northwestern part of Hunan also responded to the French defenders. As a result, our Tian Songyao troops stationed there, after several fights, also There is a lack of weapons and ammunition. Moreover, the troops suffered a lot of casualties and need compensation. Therefore, the military salary and weapons and ammunition have been pulled to the northwest of Hunan. It is because the situation in the northwest of Hunan is more complicated, and these are more needed at present. I am here On behalf of our military governor, we would like to express our apologies to General Wang and all officers and soldiers of the Second Route Army of the Qian Army."

Wang Boqun's eyelids twitched.

Not because of anything else, but because of anger.What's the problem in Northwest Hunan now? There are no troops in that area at all.What garrison, there is a fart garrison in that place.

If there were troops, how could Tian Songyao's troops control the northwestern part of Hunan so easily.Even if there are troops there, they are only some small-scale local security forces, and there are also armed forces from some local ethnic minority tribes.Those people probably don't even know what a law protector is, or even what a congress is, so how could they respond to a law protector.Those people exist to protect the environment and the people. It is not bad to take care of their own one-acre three-point land, and they can still participate in the war to protect the law?

And even if they really participate in the law protection war, their strength is no match for the regular army.Since there is nothing to do, Tian Songyao's department will lack military pay, weapons and ammunition.

damn it.

But knowing that Li Jishen was talking nonsense, Wang Boqun couldn't expose it.Because it was easy to expose Li Jishen, what should I do next.Completely tearing the skin apart is not good for anyone at present.So Wang Boqun managed to smile and said, "Commander, when will the military pay, weapons and ammunition we need be delivered?"

"This will take some time."

Li Ji sighed deeply.

Then he said: "General Wang, you should also know. The transportation in several provinces in the southwest of our country is not very good. At present, we have mobilized a large number of troops. I don't know how many civilians will be mobilized just for those heavy weapons. It takes a lot of time on the road. For We are under a lot of logistical pressure. It took us more than a month to raise the things that were originally prepared for you. Now we have to raise them again. We need time. Regardless of whether it is military pay or weapons and ammunition, we want to replenish Troops are not things that can be completed in a short period of time."

"And when your troops set off, didn't you already take 20? I think the Second Route Army of the Guizhou Army only has 20 people, and [-] can be used for a while. But don't worry, I will arrange for you as soon as possible." General Han Jianduo."
