Beiyang reactionaries

At that time, Duan Xun hopes to fight.

Because of the fight, I have the hope of taking over Beijing, so if they don't fight, Duan Xun will have to play tricks to make them fight.

What is the best way?

Sell ​​weapons.

Now Li Chun and Chen Jiongming are hanging, and they will sell weapons to Li Chun and Chen Jiongming in three or four months.Of course, it can't just sell weapons, but also disclose the news of selling weapons to Lu Yongxiang and Lu Rongting.At that time, Lu Yongxiang and Lu Rongting must be the first to lose their temper.How could they wait for Li Chun and Chen Jiongming to get the weapons to expand their army? They would definitely start the war before they got the weapons.

Duan Xun even thought about his plans for the next few months.

"Yes."

…………

"Brother Xinyuan, I haven't seen you for many years."

After seeing off Han Linchun, Duan Xun then met with Sun Chuanfang.Sun Chuanfang really couldn't stand it anymore. The prime ministers of the cabinet of the Beijing government changed every day, and they made troubles every day. No one cared that the troops below could no longer survive.

Sun Chuanfang is an orphan.

The Ministry of War doesn't care, the local warlords don't care, and they don't have the power to collect taxes.

I haven't received the military salary for several months, and it is not an option to subsidize it myself, because I have no money in my hands.At first, he was waiting for the newly appointed Prime Minister Zhou Ziqi, but he didn't expect that Zhou Ziqi would be kicked out after being the Prime Minister for more than [-] days.Therefore, Sun Chuanfang began to look forward to Liang Shiyi again. Unexpectedly, in just over ten days, Liang Shiyi was bombarded by Wu Peifu again.

The situation in Beijing is really too chaotic.

can not see clearly.

But Sun Chuanfang knew one thing anyway, if he couldn't solve the military salary, his troops would really have a mutiny.The troops have been able to survive until now, and Sun Chuanfang is definitely leading the troops well.

If this army was led by Wang Zhanyuan, the army would have slaughtered Wang Zhanyuan long ago.

Therefore, although Sun Chuanfang didn't like Duan Xun, or Sun Chuanfang was unwilling to go to Duan Xun, but he had no choice but to choose Duan Xun.Duan Xun is the only one who can solve his own problems now.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

The two know each other.

Moreover, they have known each other for more than ten years. As early as when they were in school in Japan, the relationship between the two of them was okay.Because at that time, most of the students studying in military academy in Japan were from the revolutionary party, or were inclined to the revolutionary party.

Of course, it cannot be said that they are all revolutionaries.

There are also some students with different backgrounds who are descendants of Manchu nobles.In order to train their own officers, the Manchu and Qing nobles specially selected some outstanding young people from the descendants of the Eight Banners nobles to send them to Japan to study military affairs.

Not only the Manchu and Qing nobles wanted to train their own officers, but the Beiyang Army also had to train their own officers, so the Beiyang Army also sent its own people to study in Japan.Because they were from the Beiyang Army, they were different from those revolutionary parties.This includes Wang Yitang who was sent out by Xu Shichang, Duan Xun who was recommended by his mentor Zhao Litai, and Xu Shuzheng who was specially sent by Duan Qirui.

The same is true for Sun Chuanfang.

Sun Chuanfang, like Duan Xun, was born in the Beiyang Army.Because Sun Chuanfang's sister married a big brother in the early days of the Beiyang Army, Wang Yingkai, a big man whose qualifications and status were no lower than the three heroes of the Beiyang Army.Had it not been for Wang Yingkai's early death, the Beiyang Army might have formed a new faction in addition to the Zhili and Anhui.Although Sun Chuanfang's elder sister was only Wang Yingkai's concubine, Sun Chuanfang's status was only Wang Yingkai's son's bookboy.But Sun Chuanfang was smart since he was a child, and soon won the appreciation of Wang Yingkai.

With Wang Yingkai's relationship, Sun Chuanfang and the Beiyang Army are inseparable.

As the saying goes, people are divided into groups, and things of a feather flock together.

You can play with whoever you are from.The revolutionary party has its own circle, and the students from the Beiyang Army have their own circle.Therefore, Duan Xun knew Xu Shuzheng and Sun Chuanfang when he was in Japan, and the relationship was not too bad.Sun Chuanfang was two years older than Duan Xun at the Japanese Non-commissioned Officer Academy.

"Brother Xinyuan, here you are, brother, the second division's military salary and weapons are all covered. I don't know what else you want."

"Me? I just can't bear the fact that the army finally mutinied because of the issue of military pay. Let your army disarm or even shoot. Now that the army is handed over to you, I am going to follow Wang Dujun (Wang Zhanyuan) in Shanghai."

Sun Chuanfang spoke weakly.

Some shame.

Sun Chuanfang is Wang Yingkai's brother-in-law, Duan Xun's senior in the non-commissioned officer school, and returned to China earlier than Duan Xun.During the Revolution of [-], Sun Chuanfang was the battalion management belt, and soon became the head of the second division.

And what about Duan Xun?

He returned to China in the year of 1913 and worked as an instructor at Baoding Military Academy.It was not until the second year of the Republic of China ([-]) that he came out to lead the army.But how long has passed, and Duan Xun is already a giant in China's political and military circles, while he himself is so down and out.

Somewhat embarrassed.

Hearing Sun Chuanfang's words, Duan Xun laughed loudly and said, "Brother Xinyuan, don't be joking. You are only 34 years old this year, and you are about to make a big splash. Do you really want to retire? Actually, I have a I want to leave things to you."

"What's the matter?"

"It's a big matter about frontier security."

"what?"

"Recently, the civil war in Russia has become more and more fierce. In the past, the White Russian troops were active on the Mongolian grasslands, but now some white Russian troops have begun to enter Outer Mongolia, and Outer Mongolia is eyeing them. So I plan to send a troop north to support the Outer Mongolian army. It is only a bandit suppression division with about 7000 people. I want to expand him into a reorganized division with 4000 people. However, Li Jiayu, who is currently the commander of the 27th Bandit Suppression Division, is young. He is only [-] years old and has little experience. Still needs training. I am afraid that he will not be qualified for the post of commander of the reorganization division after the reorganization. So brother Xinyuan, I want you to be the commander of this reorganization division. It is possible for this army to fight against the Russian army, I don’t know if you dare but take this responsibility.”

Duan Xun thought a lot about how to arrange Sun Chuanfang.

He absolutely cannot stay in the interior provinces.Because Duan Xun had already figured it out, the second straight-anhui war must be fought within a year, and it would not do him any good if the matter dragged on for too long.No matter how you say it, Sun Chuanfang is a direct general, but he was Wang Zhanyuan's favorite general back then.

Duan Xun was worried about letting him participate in the Zhiwan War, and Sun Chuanfang would feel uncomfortable.

However, Sun Chuanfang is very capable, there is no doubt about it.Needless to say, leading troops to fight, he is also good at governing the local area.Mongolia wants to completely separate the military and the government, and it is impossible to completely separate the military and the civilians.At least for now it's unlikely.

Some people with both civil and military skills are needed to sit in the town.

The more the border area, the more strong people are needed to sit in charge.For example, Tangnu Ulianghai is a very large place, but there are basically no people, but it directly borders Russia.Russia also controlled it back then.

It needs more powerful people to sit in the town.Only in this way can Russia be deterred and the later Soviet Red Army deterred.

So Duan Xun chose Sun Chuanfang.

"Let me go to Outer Mongolia?"

"Yes."

Sun Chuanfang breathed a sigh of relief.

Duan Xun saved face for himself, and officially gave himself the position of teacher.It's just Outer Mongolia, that place is too far away.But it's not bad either.Jing Yuexiu, Ma Xiaojun, including Li Yunlong who was the first to enter Kulun, and Wang Yinchuan who signed the "Kulun Contract", all gained great prestige for controlling Outer Mongolia.If I do some things in Outer Mongolia, I can also gain a lot of prestige.

It's also a nice place to go.

Because Sun Chuanfang nodded slightly.

But quickly said: "I want to take someone away."

"Who?"

"Zixin, Lu Qingting."

"Yes. The Bandit Suppression No.11 Division was reorganized into the No.20 Third Division of the Frontier Defense Army. You are the division commander, with two infantry brigades and one cavalry brigade under your command. Let Lu Qingting be the commander of one of the infantry brigades, and Li Jiayu the chief of staff and one of them. Commander of the infantry brigade. Because it is Mongolia, there must be a cavalry establishment. I am building the first mixed cavalry brigade in Yulin. .20 The cavalry brigade of the third division. Men Bingyue is the commander of the cavalry brigade. As for the specific troop establishment, the Ministry of Military Affairs will issue it to you soon."
