Beiyang reactionaries

Wang Zhanyuan didn't care about that.

Wang Zhanyuan had already made preparations to leave Hubei, and bought a lot of gold and silver in large and small bags.The army is so chaotic, but Wang Zhanyuan just wants to leave Wuchang quickly, and he must not become Duan Xun's prisoner.So he took his own guards, his property, and his family, and took the train from Hankou to run first.Sun Chuanfang stayed to rectify the troops, but the troops were too chaotic, the officers could not find the soldiers of their own troops, and the soldiers could not find the officers of their own troops.Although Sun Chuanfang has a high prestige in the army, he is not a serious Hubei governor, let alone the commander of the second division.Usually everyone listens to you for the sake of Wang Zhanyuan's face, but when the troops are in such chaos, they are all running for their lives, so what are you, Sun Chuanfang?Therefore, Sun Chuanfang could not solve such a chaotic situation at all.Therefore, Sun Chuanfang finally only brought nearly 3000 troops that he could quickly reorganize, and quickly withdrew from Hankou.

A group of rebels were left behind.

To put it bluntly, the "curse" of 8000 to [-] people was left behind.

Once the army breaks up and becomes a chaotic army, it is more terrifying than bandits.For a while, Wuchang and Hankou were in chaos, and these soldiers robbed finances everywhere.There are many wealthy people in Wuchang and Hankou areas, and there are many businessmen of all kinds.Some smart troops ran out immediately after robbing some money, and they didn't know which mountain to become the king of the mountain.And those who grabbed red eyes really turned into big bandits.It was not until the evening of June 6 that Tang Shengzhi's Sixth Mixed Brigade and Rao Guohua's Guard Regiment entered Wuchang and Hankou and took control of Wuchang and Hankou.

In order to control the place and restore order, Tang Shengzhi went on a killing spree in Wuchang.Tang Shengzhi had been the leader of the gendarmerie before, and he knew how dangerous it would be to let such disorderly soldiers go.

Therefore, after Tang Shengzhi entered Wuchang, he carried out a bloody suppression of those who refused to obey orders and continued to rob.More than 600 people were shot to death within three hours, causing a sensation in Wuchang.

Only then did the riots in Wuchang and Hankou slowly subside.But within a few hours, Wuchang and Hankou were seriously ruined by these rebels.

But no matter what the process is, Duan Xun's two goals of entering Hubei have been achieved one after another.One is to control Wuchang, and the other is to control Jingzhou.Wang Zhanyuan's abandonment of Wuchang brought a series of chain reactions.The 21st Mixed Brigade in the Dangyang area also surrendered and accepted the adaptation of Duan Xun's troops.

On the same day, Wang Maoshang, the commander of the No.18 division stationed in Xiangyang, faced Hu Jingyi's soldiers, and sent a telegram to express his support for Duan Qirui's rebellion, accusing Cao Kun of committing a rebellion.Duan Xun immediately appointed Wang Maoshang as the guardian envoy of southern Henan, and led his troops northward to cooperate with Henan Governor Wu Guangxin to encircle and suppress Zhao Ti's Yi army.

In just four days, the situation in Hubei changed drastically.

The former Hubei governor Wang Zhanyuan was directly driven away by Duan Xun, and all important cities in Hubei fell into Duan Xun's hands.If this was a later war, this would not have happened even during the Great War in the Central Plains.

But it is very common to fight in Zhiwan.

It is possible to change the boss in a province within a few days, or even change the boss in Beijing.This is the result of the fighting within the Beiyang Army.These generals of the Beiyang Army are all fools.

If the situation is wrong, I immediately choose to change the flag.

If not, how could Duan Xun control places like Wuchang, Jingzhou, and Xiangyang so easily.The reason why these people chose to surrender, or chose to vote to support Duan Xun, was that they believed that there was nothing wrong with the Anhui Clan's victory.The future of the Beijing government is still controlled by Duan Qirui.So none of them wanted to fight Duan Xun for the impossible.

Therefore, these people will choose to surrender in a hurry.

The situation in Guangxi is also very good.

On June 1919, 6, Wang Tianpei's reorganized Fourth Division captured Tianbao and wiped out more than 25 people from Tang Jiyao. Tang Jiyao took his younger brother and some guards and disappeared.Some of Tang Jiyao's troops were sent back to the rear.Many people in Tang Jiyao's army were former Yunnan Army troops, and they can still be used after screening. On June 3000, 1919, Liu Duanshang's reorganized third division captured Guilin. On June 6, 26, Fan Shisheng's brigade captured Baise.Han Caifeng's troops lost more than half before they began to retreat.But it was already a serious injury.

And Duan Xun's follow-up troops continued to enter Guangxi.

As of today, most of the western and northeastern regions of Guangxi have fallen into the hands of Duan Xun.But the only thing Duan Xun regretted was that Lu Rongting's reaction was too fast, and Lu Rongting was very decisive, without dragging his feet at all.Duan Xun's troops only wiped out Tang Jiyao's troops and defeated Han Caifeng's troops, and all the main forces ran away.

In particular, Lu Yuguang, the First Division of the Guangxi Army stationed in Guilin, only had a brief contact with Duan Xun's troops, and immediately retreated.In other words, after Duan Xun's troops entered Guangxi, they did not wipe out much of the vital force of Lu Rongting's troops.This is a hidden danger.

Originally, Duan Xun's idea was to wipe out Lu Rongting's main force as much as possible.In particular, Lu Yuguang's First Army of the Guangxi Route Army is the main force of Lu Rongting. If this army is annihilated, it will deal a great blow to Lu Rongting.It's a pity that their troops ran too fast.

"Fangchen (Han Linchun)."

"General."

"Are there any weapons in stock?"

"Have."

"how many?"

"There are about 22 rifles, all made by our Sichuan Arsenal. There are 200 hand grenades, [-] light and heavy machine guns, and more than [-] infantry guns."

"What about ammunition and shells?"

"They are all sufficient. I have already worked overtime to produce, and I will definitely not delay this war."

"it is good."

Duan Xun nodded.

With food in hand, don't panic.With a gun in hand, I know what I know.

Before the war started, Duan Xun had already made a lot of money with arms.However, after selling tens of thousands of rifles, there is still such an inventory, which is all thanks to the Sichuan Arsenal.The fourth expansion work of the Sichuan Arsenal has been completed, and the machine has started to turn.

With the fourth expansion, the Sichuan Arms Factory has become the arsenal with the most machinery and equipment, the most workers, and the largest output in China.Tens of thousands of rifles can be manufactured for Duan Xun in a month.The scale has surpassed Hanyang Arsenal, the representative of China's weapons industry before.

"At present, we have controlled Hanyang and the Hanyang Arsenal. Although the Hanyang Arsenal has fallen, its machinery and equipment are still intact. As long as we invest our strength, there should be no problem in restoring the original output of the Hanyang Arsenal. You should immediately arrange people to take over Hanyang Arsenal, quickly resume production at Hanyang Arsenal, and don’t let the war affect Hanyang Arsenal. In the future, our Sichuan Arsenal and Hanyang Arsenal will become important weapons manufacturing bases in our hands.”

"Yes. I am going to let Mr. Yu Qingao return to the Hanyang Arsenal to serve as the supervisor of the Hanyang Arsenal."

"Alright. He comes from Hanyang Arsenal, so he should be more familiar with Hanyang Arsenal than anyone else."

Duan Xun is happier now.

Now that the Hanyang Arsenal has been taken down, Duan Xun will own the Sichuan Arsenal and the Hanyang Arsenal at once.As long as these two arsenals are well built, it will not be a dream for these two arsenals to produce 30 million rifles a year in a few years.

At that time, it is really possible for Duan Xun to complete the localization of weapons.

Then he turned his head and said to Xiong Kewu: "Brother Jin Fan (Xiong Kewu), the area we control is getting bigger and bigger, and we need more and more troops. But we can't blindly expand our troops. Originally, this time period is not recruiting recruits." We have always recruited recruits in spring and autumn. But I wonder if we can make an exception and recruit some recruits for training, about two divisions or so, to supplement the troops."

"Okay, I'll discuss it with Minister Gu (Gu Pinzhen) of the Mobilization Department."

With the expansion of the territory, many people took refuge in Duan Xun, but there were not many reorganized by Duan Xun for these troops.And other people's troops are always not as easy to use as the ones you build yourself.Moreover, troops will be damaged in combat, and recruits are also needed to replenish them.So Duan Xun is going to continue training recruits.

"Brother Xun Ruo."

"General."

"I want Jiang Hongyu, the governor of Guizhou, to go to Hubei and serve as the governor of Hubei. Let Dan Maoxin, the mayor of Chongqing, go to Guizhou and serve as the governor of Guizhou. Bie Tingfang, the mayor of Wanxian Special Zone City, is transferred to Chongqing to serve as the governor of Chongqing. Mayor. Let Lu Zuofu go to Wanxian to serve as the mayor of Wanxian Special Zone City, what do you think?"

"can."

Dai Kan nodded.

Such an important personnel appointment was originally in the hands of Duan Xun, and Dai Kan was already very happy to be able to discuss it with Dai Kan and ask Dai Kan for his opinion.In particular, Hubei, Chongqing, and Wanxian are the most important sites in Duan Xun's hands. Dai Kan understands that Duan Xun uses some of his own direct descendants to manage these places.

It's just that Duan Xun didn't expect that Duan Xun would value Lu Zuofu so much, and hand over the important place of Wanxian to a young man like Lu Zuofu.With the great development of Wan County in recent years, Wan County is becoming more and more important in Duan Xun's hands.

The population of Wanxian Special Zone City is also increasing, even comparable to some big cities.The population of the entire Wanxian Special Zone City has skyrocketed in the past few years, reaching a population of one million.

I don't know how much capital has entered Wan County and participated in the transformation of Wan County.In the past two years, the urban area of ​​Wan County has expanded two or three times.Sending Lu Zuofu to Wan County definitely paved a golden road for Lu Zuofu in the political arena.

"Then it's decided. But what about Guangxi? When Lu Rongting was in Guangxi, he gathered a lot of bandit armed forces and indulged in opium, which caused some chaos in Guangxi. I want to send a capable and courageous person." To be the Governor of Guangxi. Brother Xun Ruo, you see who is more suitable."

Dai Kan supports Duan Xun's personnel appointment, and Duan Xun also needs to show Dai Kan some respect.

In fact, it is still that sentence.

An organization, a team, even if this team was established by Duan Xun.But until now, the team is also very complicated.It is impossible for Duan Xun to decide everything with one word.Also give some sweetness to your subordinates.

Dai Kan's ability is very good.

Duan Xun never doubted this.Since serving as the office of the Border Defense Council of the four provinces, the daily affairs have been handled in an orderly manner, which relieved a lot of Duan Xun's work pressure.Even in handling daily affairs, Dai Kan is better than Duan Xun.
