Beiyang reactionaries

Listening to Li Jishen's explanation, Wang Zhengya became more serious.

Because Wang Zhengya completely understands now.The separation of the army and the people and the restriction of the power of the warlords are all measures to prevent the local warlords from becoming bigger.If it can be implemented successfully, then Duan Xun's control over the provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou will be greatly increased.

This is amazing.

Those big men from the Beiyang Army may not be Duan Xun's opponents in terms of strength.Because at that time, Duan Xun can integrate the provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou into one, and use his energy in one place.But many other forces are different.

Not to mention anything else, the same is true for Duan Qirui, the actual controller of the current government.

He is powerful, and he has the support of the Overseer Legion under his command.However, in order to fight against Li Yuanhong and Feng Guozhang, Duan Qirui kept using the warlords to cheer for him.But why should the Overseer Group support you, and then confront the President.Every time the warlord regiment supports Duan Qirui, Duan Qirui needs to continue to delegate power to the local warlords below and increase their power in exchange for their support.But every time they are delegated power, the strength of the local warlords will rise to a higher level.Now that the warlords in these places are all holding heavy troops and sitting in one side, even Duan Qirui can no longer shake them.Now they support Duan Qirui because Duan Qirui represents their interests.

When Duan Qirui violates their interests, they will treat Duan Qirui in the same way.Because the current warlords in these places already have the strength to counter the central government.This also shows that Duan Qirui's current momentum is all false.

But Duan Xun is different.He twisted the three provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou into a single rope, and he will definitely be the first-class powerful faction in the Beiyang Army.

Not simple, not simple.

This is the only thing Wang Zhengya can think of.

Moreover, Wang Zhengya also fully understood what Duan Xun meant.Duan Xun did not want Wang Zhengya to continue to develop in the army, but wanted him to enter the government system.Wang Zhengya hesitated and asked, "So all government affairs in Xiangxi are in the charge of the chief of civil affairs?"

"Of course. The civil affairs chief is in charge of everything in the local area. From local finance, police affairs, education, justice, agriculture, industry, anyway, these things are all in the charge of the civil affairs chief. Even the military pay of the army needs the civil affairs chief. Only after signing, the army can take military expenses from the finances.”

Wang Zhengya was completely tempted.

Compared to nesting in Lizhou, jumping out of Lizhou on a wider stage is definitely a better thing.There is only one thing Wang Zhengya is most worried about, and that is that Duan Xun just took a fancy to the sixth mixed brigade in his hands.

I was afraid that after Duan Xun reorganized his sixth mixed brigade, he would kill the donkey and throw himself aside.But as long as Duan Xun doesn't play tricks and kill donkeys, it is worthwhile to exchange the sixth mixed brigade for the position of Xiangxi Civil Affairs Chief and his son for the position of regular regiment leader.

So Wang Zhengya was thinking.

"Brigade Commander Wang, our department has been in control of Western Hunan for several months. Because we were worried about local chaos, we have never dared to rectify these places. Therefore, Brigadier Wang is looking forward to the complete integration of these places in Western Hunan."

"Commander Li, then the heads of various departments in Western Hunan are..."

"This is the job of the new Xiangxi civil affairs chief. After he selects the heads of various departments, he will hand over the report to our general. After our general approves, he can take office immediately."

"Commander Li, let me think about it."

Wang Zhengya weighed it in his heart.

If Duan Xun can really delegate power to himself, let him choose the leaders of various departments in western Hunan.Then it will not be so easy for Duan Xun to repent in the future.

"Of course. It's just that there are so many things going on in western Hunan. I hope Brigadier Wang can make a decision quickly."

"it is good."

153 International Situation

"Ren Chao (Li Jishen) and Ming Jie (Teng Hanxiang) have done a good job."

Duan Xun was very happy when he received the report from Li Jishen and Deng Hanxiang in Chongqing.This time I entered Hunan and started to have great results, and began to harvest the fruits planted before.Duan Xun's troops recruited student groups in Changsha, and Changsha students enthusiastically signed up.

In just three days, the student group recruited 400 students.This group of students are all between the ages of 24 and each of them has a very high degree of education.Even those with the worst academic qualifications are all graduates of elementary schools.This is the first time that Duan Xun has recruited so many students at once.

Troop culture is important.

Although Duan Xun attaches great importance to the cultural education of the army, everyone in the army is only literate, can write letters, and can understand some articles.After all, the army is fighting, and it is impossible for those soldiers to just study every day.These students are completely different in comparison.

All of them started studying at an early age, and their cultural level is very high.After entering the army, as long as they learn military knowledge, each of them will soon be able to become a qualified grassroots officer.If you fight two more battles, you will become an excellent grassroots officer.Even with their cultural knowledge, some people are not suitable to be low-level military officers, but there are some places in the army reserved for these cultural people.All the military agencies need are these educated officers.

Of course it's not just this.

What made Duan Xun even more happy was that Deng Hanxiang came out, and the Xiangxi Yasukuni Army finally accepted Duan Xun's proposal.They neither disbanded the troops, nor issued a telegram to separate from the French Guardian Army.

Instead, she quietly chose to accept Duan Xun's number.

Of course, Duan Xun just gave them a number and didn't interfere with their internal affairs.The only thing Duan Xun did was to send a battalion of gendarmerie to supervise the military discipline of this unit.

Although this army is still an independent army, it can be regarded as removing an obstacle to the current southward movement.Moreover, Duan Xun can report to Duan Qirui that he has solved the Yasukuni Army in Western Hunan, and he can show his merits to Duan Qirui.

Duan Xun gave this unit the designation of the Third Independent Brigade of the First Army of the Southwest Frontier Army.

The bigger surprise was the matter of Wang Zhengya.

Wang Zhengya accepted Duan Xun's proposal and was willing to take over the post of Xiangxi Civil Affairs Chief.In order to show his sincerity, Wang Zhengya had handed over the roster of his own unit, that is, the Sixth Mixed Brigade, to Li Jishen, and asked Duan Xun to send someone to take over this unit.

At the same time, Wang Zhengya has begun to organize various departments in western Hunan.

well.

Duan Xun mobilized tens of thousands of troops into Hunan, and he would never spit out what he swallowed.Don't say it was a conflict with Zhang Jingyao now, even if Duan Qirui ordered Duan Xun's troops to withdraw, Duan Xun would not withdraw.

What a joke.

For the Hunan territory, Duan Xun has been calculating for more than a year.It finally swallowed one-third of the land in Hunan, and now it is impossible to spit out the swallowed land.

"Teacher, but we have reorganized too many troops this year."

Xu Yongchang was very worried.

As the head of the training department, Xu Yongchang is not only responsible for the combat plan of the troops, but the training plan of the troops is usually made by the training department.And as Deng Hanxiang left the governor's office, Xu Yongchang was still Duan Xun's chief of staff.

"Teacher, there are really too many troops that we can't control at present. Yuan Zuming's Seventh Division has its own system, and we can't intervene in personnel issues within the army. There is also Yu Enyang's Second Division of the Armed Police Force adapted from the Yunnan Army, and the Jingguo in Western Hunan. The situation is the same for the Third Solitary Brigade of the First Army reorganized from the First Army. These three units nominally belong to our establishment, but we cannot control their personnel relations, so they are equivalent to independent units. In addition, Xiong Qixun’s It will take time for the Qianjun Independent Brigade to reorganize the First Army's Second Brigade, and the soon-to-be-reorganized Sixth Mixed Brigade of Wang Zhengya to be fully integrated into our military system. So many troops are not under our control. Great danger."

As the chief of staff and the head of the training department, Xu Yongchang is very worried about the current situation.

The development of Duan Xun's troops is too fast.Not only is the internal army expanding too fast, but now it is annexing too many other troops.In just one year, the Yunnan Army, Guizhou Army, and the current Hunan Army alone annexed nearly [-] troops.

But it is so easy to annex other people's troops.

If there is a slight problem, these troops are a big hidden danger, they will easily fall apart, and they will easily turn against each other.Xu Yongchang was terrified every time he looked at these uncontrolled troops.

Scared.

Afraid of their sudden counterattack.

"What do you mean?"

Duan Xun smiled.

How could Duan Xun not know the current problem.However, the reorganization of other people's troops cannot be rushed, and it needs to be penetrated slowly.What Duan Xun is doing at this stage is to first use military discipline to control the actions of these troops.Then use military pay, logistics, weapons and ammunition to control the development of their troops, and finally take away the personnel issues of their troops.But these all take time.

"Teacher, I think we should stop all military activities now. First consolidate what we have obtained so far, and reorganize these troops properly."

"You mean Baoqing's side?"

"Yes."
