Beiyang reactionaries

"arrive."

"After I leave, you will be in charge of everything here."

"Yes."

Duan Xun is going back to his hometown to get married.

Arrange the work in Yuxi before leaving.On the whole, Duan Xun trusted Jiang Hongyu a lot.But even so, Duan Xun was on guard against Jiang Hongyu.Jiang Hongyu's status is very high, and he is the veritable second in command in Duan Xun's army.

But Duan Xun has always only let Jiang Hongyu be the chief of staff, never let Jiang Hongyu really be the first-line chief officer.In the same way as the officer brigade and the teaching brigade, Duan Xun usually insists on giving them a lecture in person within a few days.

People like Li Jishen and Xu Yongchang will also come to give lectures.But only Jiang Hongyu seldom appeared in the officer brigade and teaching brigade.Because Duan Xun held Jiang Hongyu in high regard, but he also didn't want Jiang Hongyu to have too much strength in the army.

But Duan Xun really valued Jiang Hongyu, and Jiang Hongyu could intervene in other aspects of Duan Xun.And once Duan Xun was away, Jiang Hongyu was appointed to be in charge of the overall situation.

It may seem contradictory, but that's how it is with people.In this world, there is no absolute situation in which people are employed without doubt, and doubtful people are not used.Any superior is both important and defensive to his subordinates.

"Shang Zhen."

"arrive."

"Appoint you as the deputy commander of bandit suppression in western Henan. After I leave, the bandit suppression independent regiment stationed in Mianchi, the two new barracks, and the militia in Shanzhou area will all be handed over to you. The specific organization will be discussed when I come back. I left During this time, your troops entered Shanzhou and Lingbao to suppress bandits."

"Yes."

"Xu Yongchang."

"arrive."

"During my absence, the training of the recruits will be completely handed over to you. I hope that after I return, those recruits will be able to replenish the troops. And when I am away, two battalions will be recruited. You are solely responsible for the recruiting task. .”

"Yes."

"Li Jishen."

"arrive."

"You rushed to Baoding in the name of my 29th Mixed Brigade. You are more familiar with the situation there than I am. I need graduates from the Baoding Military Academy who are about to graduate. I want as many as I have, and I don't want too many."

"Yes."

"Wan Xuancai."

"arrive."

"Appoint Wan Xuancai as the deputy head of the 67th Regiment. During Li Jishen's departure to Baoding, you will be in charge of the work of the 67th Regiment temporarily."

"Yes."

Baoding Military Academy.

Soon there will be a large number of Baoding Military Academy graduates leaving the military academy.At this moment, hundreds of thousands of graduates will come out.This year's Baoding military academy students are very special, and the senior officials of the Beiyang Army are very worried about them.

Because more than half of the people here have participated in the Revolution of [-].How many of them used to be the League, even the military academy itself doesn't know.This is a team of students who are difficult to reassure the senior officials of the Beiyang Army.

Originally, the top officials of the Beiyang Army were planning to disband them.

But later someone suggested to Duan Qirui that these people were too destructive and the country was not stable at that time.If all these students were disbanded, they might all run off to become revolutionaries.Might as well put them on school surveillance.

But even so, these students are restless.

First, there was a commotion that drove away Zhao Litai, the principal of Baoding Military Academy, and soon Jiang Baili, who succeeded Zhao Litai as the principal of Baoding Military Academy, committed another suicide by caesarean section.After Qu Tongfeng became the principal, the second revolution broke out.Just in time for the Baoding Military Academy to be on vacation, many southern students secretly went to the south to participate in the Second Revolution.The second revolution failed, and these people went back to school to continue their classes.

Who would dare to use such a student.

What if the Revolutionary Party followed the method of infiltrating the new army in the late Qing Dynasty and turned the Beiyang Army into an army of the Revolutionary Party.Therefore, many Beiyang armies refused to use this batch of military school graduates.Similarly, some of the remaining troops in the south, such as Lu Rongting, have their officers all their own.Even if the graduates of Baoding Military Academy defected to them, they were only officers of the lowest rank.Not even the platoon leader.

This gave Duan Xun a chance.

Others are afraid, but Duan Xun is not.What Duan Xun lacks most now is officers.When others were still hesitant, Duan Xun was willing to poach these students wantonly.

"Duan Yong."

"arrive."

"The guard battalion will be stationed in Lu's, and the local militia will be reorganized and expanded into the first Lu's bandit suppression regiment. You will be the head of the regiment. There will be a survey team here soon, and you must ensure their safety. If you have any questions, you, the regiment leader, don’t have to do it. Be respectful to them, understand?”

"Yes."

Duan Yong accepted the order.But he quickly said: "Commander, my troops are the guard battalion of the headquarters. When you go back to your hometown this time, don't you want to take our guard battalion with you?"

"The guard battalion has been withdrawn. Your troops belong to the Western Henan Bandit Suppression Headquarters. After I leave, you will directly accept orders from Shang Zhen, the deputy commander of the Western Henan Bandit Suppression."

"Yes."

"Okay, let's go."

…………

"Brother, I want to go with you when you get married. And if our guard battalion doesn't follow you, what about your safety?"

Duan Xun left Duan Yong.

Duan Yong really wanted to go home with Duan Xun.It has been almost eight or nine months since Duan Yong left his hometown, and he is a little homesick.

"Degan (Duan Yong), you can't come with me this time."

"Big brother..."

"Listen to me. You are able to be the battalion commander of the security battalion now because you are my younger brother. This time I accept you as the head of the first regiment of Lu's bandit suppression because you are my younger brother. But to be honest, you What is the merit of coming to the army. Everyone doesn’t say anything on the surface, but it doesn’t mean they don’t want to.”

Head.

As a person who has never been to a military academy, Duan Yong learned military knowledge after he came to the army and taught it to the brigade.But when he came to the army, he was directly the commander of the guard battalion.Now Duan Xun appointed him as the head of the regiment.

There must be a lot of people complaining.

It's just that Duan Yong is Duan Xun's younger brother, so no one said anything.

"So, you have to show me some results for everyone to see."

"Brother, what do you mean..."

"come here."

Duan Xun walked to the front of the map, pointed to Lushi, Lingbao, Sanmenxia and other places, and said, "Since ancient times, banditry has been a serious problem in western Henan, because this place is the poorest place in Henan. This place has high mountains and dense forests. Mountains running from east to west, Xiong'er Mountain, and Xiao Mountain are arranged in sequence, making it very difficult to suppress bandits here. Speaking of our western Henan, Song County, Mianchi, Sanmenxia, ​​Lingbao, and Lu's are the places with the most bandits."

Suppress bandits.
