Beiyang reactionaries

Just like Ni Sichong, who currently controls Anhui, was not very strong in the first place.But the Revolution of [-] controlled northern Anhui, and the Second Revolution controlled Anhui.Since taking control of Anhui, Ni Sichong has money and name, and began to expand his army.At present, Ni Sichong has a regular army of tens of thousands of people under his command, and he has become one of the leaders of the Beiyang Army.This is warlord.

"General, don't worry."

At this time Wang Yongjiang stood up.

Then he said to Duan Xun: "Financial issues, I will definitely take care of them for you. I will try my best to save the money you need for the general. If it doesn't work, we will pledge the finance of Western Henan to the bank and get a loan from the bank."

"Thank you Mr. Wang."

"De Gong (Duan Xun), don't worry. I will not delay training recruits and purchasing weapons and ammunition. There is still half a year before the end of this year, and I will definitely send you troops with more than 5000 people. If the plan does not go well , then directly pull up the Western Henan troops. There are also weapons and ammunition, I am sure the more the better. I will buy as many as you can."

"Thank you."

Duan Xun finally let go of his heart.

Although after the Second Revolution, the Beiyang Army expanded its army aggressively.However, the number of places controlled by the Beiyang Army has also increased, so the troops are still relatively scattered.Duan Xun believes that as long as he has [-] people, he will be able to create a world in Sichuan.

Sichuan.

I am coming.

Duan Xun is here.

42 Irikawa

Sichuan.

After Duan Xun arranged everything in Western Henan, on June 1915, 6, he officially left Western Henan with the 3th Mixed Brigade and started his journey into Sichuan.From the southwest of Henan to Nanyang, then into Hubei, and finally take a boat from Yibin in Hubei and enter Sichuan along the Yangtze River.After nearly a month and a half, Duan Xun finally arrived in Chongqing on July 29, 1915.

However, Duan Xun's army has too many personnel and carries too many weapons, so the follow-up troops are still on their way to catch up.When entering Sichuan this time, Wu Xiangzhen's No. 13 Mixed Brigade and Li Bingzhi's No.[-] Mixed Brigade did not bring in some heavy equipment.

Because the road to Sichuan is too difficult to walk.

How difficult it is to go.A cannon, even a small mountain cannon, needs several horses to pull it into Sichuan.In some places more manpower is needed.But you have to pay for horses and people.

The above is the money given to the troops to move out, but who would really use all the money in this kind of place, and put them all in their own pockets.And if the cannons are pulled in, the shells will also be pulled in, and more manpower needs to be hired.Therefore, when they entered Sichuan, they all marched lightly.Not even much ammunition.

Because they believe that when they arrive in Sichuan, Sichuan will naturally supply these.

But Duan Xun is different.

All equipment, including heavy equipment, had to be brought in no matter how difficult it was.Cannons, heavy machine guns, and light machine guns, as long as they can be used, must be brought in.Not only that, each soldier of Duan Xun's Department had to bring [-] bullets into Sichuan.

Later, a large number of people were hired to help transport the arms.Because Duan Xun knew that Sichuan would go to war in half a year.How can there be so many logistics materials in Sichuan that can be provided to him, and it is the most reliable to have weapons and ammunition in his hands.

After entering Chongqing, Duan Xun was going to Chengdu to meet Chen Heng.But before Duan Xun was ready, Chen Heng's order arrived.Let Duan Xun's troops go south into Luzhou, and let Duan Xun temporarily serve as the guard of Luzhou and stationed in Luzhou.

"Damn."

When Duan Xun heard this order, he immediately scolded Chen Heng.

Chen Heng is an asshole.

On June 1915, 6, when Duan Xun was still on his way to Sichuan, Yuan Shikai appointed Chen Heng as General Chengwu to act in charge of Sichuan military affairs, and at the same time transferred Hu Jingyi, the former governor of Sichuan, to Beijing.

The meaning is very simple.

From this moment on, Chen Heng became the top military and political leader in Sichuan.

Hu Jingyi was about to cry when she entered Beijing.Because Hu Jingyi's rise was in the second revolution.At that time, Xiong Kewu's Fifth Division of the Sichuan Army was besieging Yuan in Chongqing, and the other generals of the Sichuan Army headed by Hu Jingyi all fell to Yuan Shikai, and then cooperated to besiege Xiong Kewu's Fifth Division of the Sichuan Army.

Finally won, Hu Jingyi became the governor of Sichuan.

In order to show his loyalty to Yuan Shikai, Hu Jingyi reformed the Sichuan Army drastically.The Sichuan Army, which originally had five divisions, was downsized to only three divisions, and all the more famous generals in the Sichuan Army were kicked out of the Sichuan Army.

Originally thought that in this way, he would be able to keep his position as the governor of Sichuan.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Shikai ordered Hu Jingyi to make clothes for others.At this time, Hu Jingyi really regretted it.In order to please Yuan Shikai, he tried his best to suppress the Sichuan army, so that the Sichuan army didn't like him.As it is now, no one in the Sichuan Army came out to speak for him.

Therefore, they could only watch Chen Heng take over the military and political power in Sichuan.

Chen Heng became the top military and political leader in Sichuan, but Chen Heng actually lacked strength in his hands.After all, Chen Heng only brought three mixed brigades into Sichuan, and among these three mixed brigades, although Chen Heng, Wu Xiangzhen, and Li Bingzhi all knew each other and worked together, they were only superior and subordinate.

Neither Wu Xiangzhen, Li Bingzhi, nor Duan Xun are Chen Heng's direct descendants in the absolute sense.

In addition to these three mixed brigades brought by themselves, Sichuan also has three divisions.Because although these three mixed brigades followed him into Sichuan, they were not his direct descendants after all.So Chen Heng turned his idea to the current Sichuan army.

Three divisions of the Sichuan Army.

Chen Heng first downsized the first division of Zhou Jun, the most powerful of the Sichuan army. There were originally two brigades, but they were going to be downsized into one brigade.Moreover, the commander of this brigade was led by Chen Heng's own fellow, Xiong Xiangsheng, a graduate of the Japanese Military Academy.

Then there was the downsizing of Liu Cunhou's second division, which also abolished one regiment from the original two brigades.Moreover, one of the brigades was replaced by a Hunanese who he brought into Sichuan, and his staff was also a graduate of the Japanese Non-commissioned Officer Academy Lei Biao.

The last third division of the Sichuan Army, Chen Heng directly canceled the establishment.He was downsized into the Second Mixed Brigade of the Sichuan Army and stationed in Shunqing.Of course, there are also the downsizing of the first division and the third division, and a formation of the Sichuan Army's first mixed brigade.

For the Sichuan Army, it can be described as a catch-all.

Although Zhou Jun and Liu Cunhou were very dissatisfied, Chen Heng was representing Yuan Shikai, so they dared not speak out.But they are officers of the Sichuan Army after all, so they secretly stumbling the newcomers Xiong Xiangsheng and Lei Biao to prevent them from taking over the army smoothly.

In order to deter these Sichuan troops and prevent them from making small moves, Chen Heng appointed Wu Xiangzhen as the guard envoy of southern Sichuan to sit in Xuzhou.And now Duan Xun is appointed as the guardian envoy of Luzhou, which is actually subordinate to the guardian envoy of southern Sichuan.

Duan Xun was very angry.

Impossible not to be angry.In fact, there are already three brigades of the Sichuan Army in the Luzhou area.One is the brigade of Xiong Xiangsheng, the first division of the Sichuan Army of Zhou Jun, and the other two brigades are the second division of the Sichuan Army of Liu Cunhou, one of which is Lei Biao's brigade.

Liu Cunhou currently serves as the commander-in-chief of Qingxiang in southern Sichuan, similar to the commander of the bandit suppression in southern Sichuan, and his troops are stationed in Luzhou.

This is not blatantly putting himself in conflict with Liu Cunhou.Liu Cunhou was Duan Xun's senior at the Japanese Non-commissioned Officer Academy. He graduated three years earlier than Duan Xun. He came to Yunnan to serve as a tactical instructor in the Yunnan Army Lecture Hall, and he also joined the Tongmenghui here.

In the year of [-], Liu Cunhou participated in the Chongjiu Uprising in Yunnan. After the establishment of the Yunnan Military Government, Liu Cunhou served as the first head of the General Staff Department.Cai E organized the Sichuan-Yunnan Army to support the Revolutionary Party in Sichuan. Liu Cunhou was appointed as the general staff of the army and entered Sichuan with the army.After that, Liu Cunhou left the Yunnan Army and joined Yin Changheng, the governor of Sichuan.After the establishment of the Sichuan military government, Liu Cunhou was appointed as the commander of the Fourth Division of the Sichuan Army.

The second revolution broke out in 1913, and Xiong Kewu responded to the second revolution in Chongqing.At this time, Liu Cunhou supported Yuan Shikai and drove Xiong Kewu out of Chongqing together with Zhou Jun, the current Chongqing guard and the first division of the Sichuan Army.

Therefore, his troops were reorganized into the Second Division of the Sichuan Army, and Liu Cunhou also served as the commander of the Second Division of the Sichuan Army.Three months ago, because the bandits in the Luzhou area were too arrogant, they attacked the salt team several times, so Liu Cunhou was appointed as the commander-in-chief of Qingxiang in southern Sichuan, and he was in Luzhou.

This is obviously letting himself steal his territory, how could he be happy.

Moreover, Liu Cunhou had just been cut off by Chen Heng from the establishment of a regiment, and the position of brigade commander was handed over to Lei Biao brought by Chen Heng, so he must have been very angry.If Duan Xun goes down to snatch his Luzhou again, I don't know how he will get mad.

"Brother Ming Jie, what do you think should be done?"

Duan Xun could not make up his mind.

Duan Xun was always unwilling to let himself go to Luzhou obediently.I must go, after all, Chen Heng is the governor of Sichuan, and I still need to obey his orders.And when he came to Sichuan, a strange place, Duan Xun also needed a place to stay.But Duan Xun was still angry after thinking about it.

"General, you don't need to be anxious at all. The one who is anxious now is General Chen Heng."

"How to say?"
