Beiyang reactionaries

"Yes."

Lang Boyu trotted away immediately and left here.Duan Xun turned around and said to the remaining cabinet chiefs: "This is an extraordinary period, and everyone must do a good job in comforting the organization."

"Yes."

310 centralization

"General."

"teacher."

War Department meeting.

Still the same sentence, the most important thing in troubled times is the barrel of the gun.Therefore, after Duan Xun took over Beijing, he personally served as the chief of the Ministry of Army. This position will never be given up.

Even though it was night, after the announcement, less than an hour later, all the people had packed up and arrived at the Ministry of War, waiting for Duan Xun's arrival.

"Sit all."

All the members of the Ministry of War came to the conference room, and there was no one missing.

Duan Xun glanced at these people, and now he didn't have time to exchange pleasantries, so he said directly: "Some things happened just now, and I think you all know it. At present, we can't judge what went wrong, but the preliminary guess is that Gansu Something went wrong. I don’t know much about earthquakes, but I also know that if it happened in Gansu, it could shake Beijing. According to reports, even Shanghai shook. This must be a big earthquake, one beyond our imagination It’s a big earthquake. It’s okay if the big earthquake happened in a no-man’s land with no people at all, but if it’s not like this, then the situation this time will be very serious and it will be a catastrophe.”

"I won't talk about other things. Let me talk about the simplest ones. We all eat from the country. And the country's finances come from the people of our country. We eat and drink from them. Now it's an important moment and we need our money. At that time, I don't want anyone to back down. This is the time when our soldiers come out."

"General, tell me."

Xiong Kewu is very straightforward.

Because Xiong Kewu understood what Duan Xun meant.Once it is really a catastrophe, a big earthquake.Then go to the rescue, and it must be the soldiers who clean up the mess.Only by mobilizing soldiers can the rescue work be completed.

Duan Xun nodded.

Looking at everyone, he said: "To be honest, we are soldiers, we are good at fighting, and we usually practice fighting. But we have never done this kind of rescue work. Therefore, everyone has to learn this time. Learn to rescue at the same time. Which one is the easiest to mobilize at present and will not affect the local situation?"

Duan Xun looked at Xu Yongchang.

Xu Yongchang immediately said: "Teacher, in the current situation, it is easiest to mobilize the troops in Shaanxi and Henan. Because they all have trains to use. However, there are no troops in Shaanxi that can be mobilized. They are all local troops. I think that at present The No.11 Army (army commander Xiong Qixun) stationed in Kaifeng is the most suitable."

"Eleventh Army?"

"Yes."

Xu Yongchang pointed to the map and said: "The Eleventh Army can enter Shaanxi along the railway, and then go all the way to Baoji. Although the railway from Baoji to Lanzhou has been prepared, it has not been laid. You can start from Baoji and enter Gansu on foot. We can stop all civilian use and let all the trains on this line help to transport troops. It doesn’t take half a month for the [-]th Army to reach Baoji. After the vanguard arrived in Baoji, it’s a pity that they entered Gansu first and met with the troops in Gansu and."

"Is this the fastest?"

"Yes, this is currently the fastest army. Other troops are not as fast as this army."

"Row."

Duan Xun thought for a while and said: "In this way, appoint Xiong Qixun as the commander-in-chief of the rescue force, let Feng Yuxiang of the No.16 mixed brigade serve as the deputy commander-in-chief, and set off immediately with the No.11 army. All troops march forward lightly, and all heavy weapons , logistics and other things are all left behind.”

"General, let Feng Yuxiang go? Will it cause objections?"

"Humph."

Chen Yuhao snorted coldly and said, "Facing a catastrophe now, it is the time when soldiers need to be desperate. There is no room for personal bargaining. Let him go, that is to trust him, and to reuse him. After the meeting is over, release the news first , A fait accompli. If Feng Yuxiang dares to say a word not to go, then what is the Ministry of the Army doing? Immediately sent a telegram to reprimand Feng Yuxiang, either go or accept a military trial. Anyone who dares to refuse the military order at this time will be sent to a military court.”

The Gansu earthquake was a big test and a big bad thing for someone like Duan Xun who had just entered Beijing.But again this is an opportunity, a big opportunity.

An opportunity to centralize power.

In the name of righteousness, who would dare to object at this time.

Duan Xun even wished Feng Yuxiang would refuse.At that time, Duan Xun can put various hats on him and send him directly to the military court.And even if Duan Xun really did deal with Feng Yuxiang, the people across the country would not object.If there is no such opportunity, Duan Xun is still very worried about how to deal with Feng Yuxiang's No.16 mixed brigade.

This team is too strong.

There was no loss in the Zhiwan War, and tens of thousands of troops were supported.The important thing is that Feng Yuxiang's No.16 mixed brigade was built by Feng Yuxiang alone, and it has been nearly ten years now.The force is self-contained and really, really hard to adapt without a valid reason.Moreover, this force is stationed in Chahar, and it may affect Beijing's security if it is not careful.Duan Xun never knew how to deal with such an army.

It can only be slowly infiltrated and slowly adapted.

The situation is very good now.

Sending Feng Yuxiang directly to Gansu, as long as he goes to Gansu, Duan Xun has the final say on when he will come back.As for the remaining No.16 mixed brigade, without Feng Yuxiang, it will be easy to deal with it.

"Yes."

Xiong Kewu nodded.

"After Feng Yuxiang left, cancel the designation of the No.16 mixed brigade and divide the troops into three brigades. Two brigades were added to the garrison division, and Yue Weijun's brigade and Jiang Shijie's brigade were transferred from the garrison division to form a division with the remaining brigades. , let Yue Weijun serve as the division commander. The troops were transferred to Shandong and obeyed the orders of Yang Hucheng, the commander of the guard division."

"Yes."

As long as the No.16 mixed brigade is resolved, Cao Kun's remaining troops will be mobs.Now Xiong Kewu has almost reorganized them, only Feng Yuxiang's army is too complete and difficult to deal with.

This is a good opportunity.

"Minister Xiong, Minister Yang, and Secretary-General Yang will preside over the rest of the matter. See how the troops march, how to replenish logistics, etc. After discussing it, give me a report. At the same time, give Xiong Qixun an order to let his The troops prepared for me to go overnight. Just order them to go quickly. Well, I have to go to a meeting."

"Yes."

Duan Xun is very busy now.

There are too many things to deal with, so all meetings are kept as short as possible.Let them plan the rest, and Duan Xun has to continue to deal with other things.

Duan Xun left the Army Department in a hurry, and immediately went to his office.

"teacher."

Duan Xun's car was halfway there when it was stopped by Dong Songyan.

"How about it?"

Almost four hours had passed since the start.It's already around twelve o'clock in the evening. Although it's not too dark outside, the current street lights are not very bright.

"There is no accurate news yet, but there is news from Lanzhou. Now they are also doing their best to investigate, it seems to be from Ningxia."

"Ningxia?"

"Yes. At present, there are replies from all other places, but there is no news from the only one."

"Is there no news from Ma Fuxiang?"

"Yes."

"I see. You continue to contact Gansu. Send people to Yang Wei's place and ask Yang Wei to come to me. Also send people to let Deng Hanxiang and Tang Shizun come over."
