Beiyang reactionaries

"But there is one thing."

"whats the matter?"

"There is a Japanese army stationed in the Kulun area, about 120 people, who say they want to protect Japanese diplomats. But Wang Yinchuan gave them an order that they must hand over their weapons, otherwise the troops will forcibly confiscate their weapons. Yesterday In the evening, the Japanese military attache in Kulun has handed over all the weapons to our office in Kulun.”

"kindness?"

Duan Xun frowned.

As long as great powers are involved, everything must be cautious.Especially in Japan, Duan Xun and Japan have so many cooperations at present, the two sides are still in the honeymoon period on the whole, and things with Japan need to be more cautious.

Moreover, Duan Xun still needs to introduce Japanese forces to fight against British forces in the Yangtze River, and he cannot turn his face against Japan.

"A hundred people?"

"Yes."

"There is no real conflict with the Japanese side?"

"No. Wang Yinchuan frightened the Japanese military attache on the phone, saying that if they did not hand in their weapons, they would be disarmed. The Japanese handed in their weapons that night."

"I see."

As long as there is no conflict.

Wang Yinchuan is good.

Duan Xun instantly understood what Wang Yinchuan meant.If the matter passes through Duan Xun first, and then Duan Xun negotiates with the Japanese side, then the matter will be much more complicated.And it made Duan Xun's position awkward.

Since large forces are going to enter Kulun, of course the Japanese armed forces cannot be allowed to stay in Kulun.But also, with the current special relationship between Duan Xun and Japan, it would be a lot of inconvenience for Duan Xun to negotiate with Japan in person.

Wang Yinchuan did the best.

The problem was solved directly at the front.If Japan asks the teacher to blame, Duan Xun has every excuse to perfunctory Japan, and he can also use Wang Yinchuan as a scapegoat.Either way, it's the best choice.

"Send them a telegram, as long as the large forces enter Kulun and control the situation in Kulun. Immediately arrest several masterminds of Outer Mongolia's independence according to the independent list of the year, and then quickly sign a new contract to transfer the original' The Kyakta contract' was abolished for me. Then the autonomous government of Mongolia was abolished, and Mongolia's administrative power, military power, and diplomatic power were taken back. After that, the administrative power of Mongolia was handed over to Minister Kulun, and the military power of Mongolia was handed over to General Kulun. The Mongolian-Tibetan Committee is fully responsible for diplomatic power. Let Wang Yinchuan and the others inspect Outer Mongolia, and then give me a plan on how to develop the economy of Outer Mongolia and how to strengthen the relationship between Outer Mongolia and the interior.”

"Yes."

"Also, Cichen. I want to build Baotou into a military base and station troops here. What do you think?"

Baotou was originally out of Duan Xun's management.

It's just that Duan Xun took advantage of this opportunity to enter Mongolia to control Baotou.And now that Baotou has been controlled, Duan Xun will not give up Baotou.With Baotou and Yulin, in the middle is Yikezhao League, which is the famous Ordos in later generations.

Where is Ordos.

That is the hometown of resources in China, and there are countless resources here.If this place is well developed, all kinds of wealth can be tapped continuously.When Duan Xun lays the railway here in Ordos and develops the resources here, it will be all money.

"Teacher, from a military point of view, Yulin and Baotou are both good places. Especially when we deploy heavy troops here, we can directly threaten Suiyuan, Chahar, and Shanxi. Especially from Baotou to Suiyuan, less than two hundred Kilometers, it will take a few days for the troops to attack. If a cavalry unit is built here, it will take two or three days. So I think we should deploy heavy troops here, as long as there is a gap between us and Cao Kun. For any problem, the army can solve Suiyuan first. To control Suiyuan, go south to attack Datong and Taiyuan, and go east to directly attack Jining and Zhangjiakou. In order to guard against this army, Cao Kun will deploy heavy troops in Jining and Zhangjiakou. It will greatly disperse Cao Kun's troops."

"kindness."

Duan Xun nodded.

indeed.

Baotou and Yulin took control of this place, and when Duan Xun and Cao Kun fought, this was the most direct army along the way.The capital can be threatened directly from the north.If Cao Kun wants to guard against the threat from the north, he must deploy heavy troops here to defend Beijing.

But in this way, Cao Kun's troops would disperse.Duan Xun can completely fight on the north and south fronts.

"So, teacher. I think at least one army should be deployed here."

"Army logistics are not easy."

An army is more than 4 people.

Deploying an army here, food, drink, weapons and ammunition, etc., are not so easy to solve.

"Teacher, Baotou is a material distribution center in Mongolia. There has been no shortage of merchants since ancient times. When Shanxi merchants were the most prosperous, Baotou gathered a large number of Shanxi merchants. They have what they want, and they have never said that there is a lack of things. Not only Shanxi merchants, There are also large numbers of Qin merchants appearing in Baotou. Now Baotou has a large number of caravans passing by every day. So as long as we can afford the money, these merchants can get us what we need in order to make money. In this way It will greatly alleviate our logistical problems."

circulation.

The so-called commerce is circulation.

Regardless of whether it is Shanxi merchants or Qin merchants, there are a lot of them doing business in Baotou area.Although these people are just businessmen, they are still very capable.Because they have been doing business with Mongolia since ancient times.

Don't talk about doing business in Baotou.

As long as they can make money, these businessmen will even go to Russia.

It is very common for caravans to go out once a few months.There are even some caravans that go out once a year, or even two years.As long as they can make money, they can do anything.

"Well, we'll talk about this later. You see which army is best to occupy Baotou and Yulin."

"The Third Division of the Frontier Defense Army, No.13 Mixed Brigade, Temporary Fifth Division, the Third Mixed Brigade of the Shaanxi Army."

Xu Yongchang didn't think about it at all, and directly said the names of these troops.Because Xu Yongchang, as the chief of staff, is very familiar with the current Duan Xun troops.

You can tell the history, current situation and so on of each army casually.

Therefore, when sending troops, Xu Yongchang didn't have to think at all.

"How to say?"

"Teacher, once this army is to be used in the future, it must be thunderous, and the opponent cannot be given any time to prepare. It is necessary to quickly capture Suiyuan and threaten Chahar. Therefore, the troops deployed here must be elite troops. And Baotou, Yulin, and the Ikezhao League area are the gathering places of Han and Mongolia. Some troops who are familiar with such border areas are needed, and some troops that are not acclimatized to the environment cannot be allowed to go there. The few troops I mentioned are very suitable from the source. Frontier defense The third division of the army (division commander Shang Zhen) has been stationed in Chengdu. Before the temporary formation of the fifth division, the model brigade was also in Chengdu (former brigade commander, current division commander Lu Tao). The No.13 mixed brigade participated in the campaign against the rebellion in Tibet ( Former brigade commander Li Bingzhi, current brigade commander Liu Huchen), the Third Mixed Brigade of the Shaanxi Army (former brigade commander Jing Yuexiu, current brigade commander Gao Jun) have been stationed in northern Shaanxi and are very familiar with it.”

"It makes sense."

Duan Xun nodded.

The troops selected by Xu Yongchang are indeed very suitable for stationing in Baotou, Yulin, and Yikezhao League areas.Among these troops, Shang Zhen's third division was, needless to say, the direct line of Duan Xun's direct line.The weapons and equipment are very good, and they are counted among the national troops.

As for the provisional fifth division, Lu Tao's model brigade background.When this army was first formed, Lu Tao recruited all the troops from military academies and students.Not only did they recruit many seventeen or eighteen-year-old students from Guizhou, they also recruited a large number of students after arriving in Chongqing and Chengdu.At that time, the number of military cadets and students recruited exceeded a thousand, and it was a veritable model brigade.

Lu Tao started from training these students, and slowly expanded his troops into a model brigade.When entering Henan later, the troops were reorganized into the temporary fifth division.Moreover, the third division of the frontier defense army and the temporary fifth division were stationed in Chengdu before, and they are also guarding against Tibet.Therefore, many of the places where they are stationed are places where Han and Tibetans live together.

The other No.13 mixed brigade followed Li Bingzhi to participate in the counter-insurgency and entered the Tibetan army.The Third Mixed Brigade of the Shaanxi Army is a unit from northern Shaanxi, and is very familiar with the Ikezhao League.

"Ci Chen."

"teacher."

"If the Third Division of the Frontier Defense Army, the Temporary Fifth Division, and the No.13 Mixed Brigade enter Shaanxi, the number of troops in Henan will be reduced a lot. Which troops will need to enter Henan to stabilize the situation in Henan."

"Hu Jingyi's security division."

"Security Division?"
