Beiyang reactionaries

Wang Ruqin was silent.

Because Wang Ruqin understood that this was the condition offered by Duan Xun.His Eighth Division is average in strength, but Duan Xun can't deal with it directly because of his status.Duan Xun is going to use the position of Guangxi Governor to let Wang Ruqin give up the Eighth Division.

Duan Xun is not looking at the Eighth Division.

Duan Xun didn't like the strength of the Eighth Division at all.Beginning in the sixth year of the Republic of China (1917), the Eighth Division first failed in the Battle of Hengyang, then in Changsha, and in Yueyang.This year, he was defeated by Duan Xun's troops again.

Anyway, the Eighth Division has been defeated in various ways in the past two years.

Morale is gone.

The current 6000 people, only more than 2000 veterans.The strength is very poor.What Duan Xun took a fancy to was the designation of the Eighth Division, and what he took a fancy to was the Zhongxiang area currently controlled by the Eighth Division, not the eighth division's current army of 6000 to [-] people.As long as Wang Ruqin accepts Duan Xun's suggestion, then Duan Xun can reorganize the Eighth Division.

That's the purpose.

Guangxi Governor?

If it is a warlord appointed by the Beijing government, then the gold content is very high and the strength is very strong.However, the Guangxi governor appointed by Duan Xun has very little power.It is only in charge of recruiting recruits, training recruits, local troops, and taking care of pensions for casualties of the troops and so on.

In fact, to put it bluntly, the local warlord on Duan Xun's side is a bridge between the army and the local area.

All these trivial things are done.

But although this position is not as powerful as the warlords in other places, it does not mean that there is no power at all.On the contrary, the power of this position is not small, and there are many things that can be managed.

"Mr. Guo, let me think about it?"

"of course."

"The pavilion chief (Liu Bang) can be the emperor, why can't I be the teacher? Why do you think I'm not qualified to be the brigade commander? These people deceive people too much. Tan Yankai, Cheng Qian, Zhao Hengti, you deceive people too much."

that power.

Power is a good thing.

After there is no external pressure, internal disputes are bound to erupt.

Hunan.

After the Zhiwan War ended, the Hunan Army, which had greatly increased in strength, also broke out in internal strife.It is still embarrassing for the Hunan Army to talk about it, because most of Hunan, including Changsha, is currently occupied by Duan Xun's troops.

There are only three places occupied by the Hunan Army: Guiyang, Chenzhou, and Hengyang.

Among the other troops, the Seventh Division almost collapsed because Zhang Jingyao ran away with his godson.Fortunately, Wu Xintian stepped forward to gather the troops, and there were about three to four thousand troops.However, the designation is still the seventh division, and Wu Xintian is the commander of the seventh division.Currently Wu Xintian's Seventh Division is stationed in Xiangtan and Xiangxiang.Li Kuiyuan's No.4000 Division has taken refuge in Jiangxi Governor Chen Guangyuan, and is currently stationed in Ninggang, Yongxin, and Lianhua, Jiangxi.

The war in Hunan is over and the situation has calmed down.

But it was so calm and the situation stabilized, and the contradictions within the Hunan Army broke out completely.It is mainly the struggle between the faction of Tan Yankai and Zhao Hengti and the faction of Cheng Qian and Lin Xiumei.During the Dharma War before, Tan Yankai and Zhao Hengti were on the side of peace talks, while Cheng Qian and Lin Xiumei were on the side of Sun Yat-sen.As early as in Chenzhou, there was already a big conflict between the two parties, but now it is completely dry.There are three divisions in the Hunan Army. Zhao Hengti is the commander of the first division, Cheng Qian is the commander of the second division, and Lin Xiumei is the commander of the third division.It seems that Cheng Qian's faction occupies two divisions.

But in fact, Cheng Qian's second division and Lin Xiumei's third division basically only had numbers and not many troops.The main force of the Hunan Army is concentrated in the First Division of the Hunan Army, which is Zhao Hengti's troops.

Zhao Hengti's first division has more than 7000 troops, accounting for half of the current Hunan Army troops, and all of them are veterans of the Hunan Army, making it the most elite unit of the Hunan Army.In addition, Song Hegeng, who served as the commander of the Fifth Brigade of the Second Division of the Hunan Army, also supported Tan Yankai.

There are currently more than [-] Hunan Army troops supporting Tan Yankai, easily overwhelming Cheng Qian.

Therefore, after the infighting between the two sides, Cheng Qian and Lin Xiumei were at an absolute disadvantage.Cheng Qian and Lin Xiumei can only be beaten passively by playing this kind of political tricks. They are no match for Tan Yankai, a veteran in the political arena.On August 8, under constant persecution by Tan Yankai, Lin Xiumei could only resign as the commander of the Third Division of the Hunan Army, and Song Hegeng served as the commander of the Third Division of the Hunan Army.

Now what Tan Yankai has to do is to get Cheng Qian down as well.

This is not easy.

Cheng Qian has too much influence in the Hunan Army.Especially during the Dharma Protection War, Cheng Qian led the Hunan Army and the Beiyang Army to fight for several months, and performed very well, which can be regarded as famous all over the world.Such a person cannot be expelled if he wants to.

The two sides were fighting each other in Hengyang, and at this time there was a stalemate.Therefore, both sides also thought that there was another unit of the Hunan Army in the Liling area, and that was He Jian's independent brigade of the Hunan Army.So both sides sent people to win over He Jian, hoping that He Jian would also choose a lineup.

He Jian swelled.

He Jian was really inflated, especially when he saw that even Tan Yankai and Cheng Qian were wooing him, He Jian instantly felt that he was already a big shot.After all, He Jian was only a platoon leader of the Hunan Army more than a year ago, but in just one year, He Jian has become the commander of the Independent Brigade of the Hunan Army, with nearly 3000 troops under his command.

Although He Jian's troops are mobs, He Jian is getting more and more bullish.

Seeing that even the people sent by Tan Yankai and Cheng Qian are saying good things now, He Jian thinks he is very good.So tell Tan Yankai and Cheng Qian that you will appoint me as the commander of the Independent Division of the Hunan Army, and then I will think about who to support.

Very crazy.

This angered Tan Yankai and Cheng Qian all at once.

Although both of them sent people to win over He Jian, it was only because He Jian was a rising star of the Hunan Army who had suddenly risen and had some troops under his command.To put it bluntly, the two of them didn't take He Jian seriously.

In the struggle between Tan Yankai and Cheng Qian, He Jian actually couldn't intervene at all.

I didn't expect He Jian to be so ignorant and arrogant.

Cheng Qian's staff officer, Li Longhan, He Jian's fellow countryman, directly told He Jian that you are not qualified to be a teacher.Don't say that you are not qualified to be a division commander, even a brigade commander is not qualified.If He Jian hadn't killed Zhang Jingyao's younger brother Zhang Jingtang on the battlefield, how could Jin Yunpeng have appointed He Jiandan the commander of the Independent Brigade of the Hunan Army.

This made He Jian furious.

It turned out that Cheng Qian looked down on me so much.

Damn.

Of course, he just looked down on He Jian, and He Jian didn't say anything.But the people sent by Cheng Qian directly ridiculed He Jian for his ignorance, but Tan Yankai was even more powerful.Tan Yankai was furious when he heard He Jian's conditions, and immediately gave He Jian an unforgettable memory.As soon as Tan Yankai made a move, he instigated He Jian's deputy, Zhang Guowei, deputy brigade commander of the Independent Brigade.

Speaking of which, He Jian and Zhang Guowei are still classmates, both graduates of the third phase of Baoding Military Academy.Not only are they classmates, but they are fellow Liling fellows. They went to school together, went to the military academy together, and finally graduated from Baoding Military Academy together.

But among the Hunan Army, Zhang Guowei was more valued than He Jian.Because when the two of them graduated from Baoding Military Academy, He Jian was 29 years old and Zhang Guowei was 24 years old.

Zhao Hengti prefers Zhang Guowei and thinks He Jian is too old to want him.If Song Hegeng, who was present at the time, thought that He Jian's physique was not bad and kept him as the platoon leader, He Jian would not have been able to stay in the Hunan Army.

Last year, both of them left the main force of the Hunan Army to form guerrillas in eastern Hunan.

Because Zhang Guowei was more valued in the Hunan Army, he received more support, so his troops were richer, better armed, and more numerous.It's just that He Jian did a major event that caused a sensation in Hunan, that is, he killed Zhang Jingyao's younger brother Zhang Jingtang a few months ago.So when Jin Yunpeng gave the Hunan Army a designation, He Jian became the commander of the Independent Brigade of the Hunan Army, and Zhang Guowei became the deputy brigade commander.

This made Zhang Guowei dissatisfied all the time.

As soon as Tan Yankai made a move this time, he instigated Zhang Guowei.Zhang Guowei immediately left He Jian's army with his own people.The troops moved south from Liling to You County, and Tan Yankai appointed Zhang Guowei as the commander of the Independent Brigade of the First Division of the Hunan Army.

He Jian was immediately dumbfounded.

Originally He Jian had nearly 3000 troops, but Zhang Guowei took away nearly 2000 when he went south.Tan Yankai sent someone to tell He Jian that if he was obedient, then let He Jian continue to serve as the commander of the independent brigade.If you are disobedient, let alone the brigade commander, even the regimental commander may not be able to get it.

Dare to challenge Tan Yankai?

act recklessly.

"Huixian (Liu Jianxu), did Commander Cheng send someone over?"
