"Did it cut too hard?"

"Prime Minister, it's not that the Ministry of Military Affairs cut it hard. It's really because there are many factions in the Fengjun Army. The troops led by Zhang Zuolin's brothers don't look like modern troops at all. They are completely bandit troops. Many of their officers have no military training. Education, many of them were subordinates when they were bandits before. It is useless to stay."

Li Jishen looked down on the Fengjun troops.

Li Jishen followed Duan Xun in western Henan ten years ago, trained and commanded an unknown number of troops.In Li Jishen's view, the combat effectiveness of the Feng army was too poor.

Li Jishen also looked down upon Zhang Zuolin's new army.

So he's going to kill a lot of people.

"Too little. You plan again. The Fengjun troops should retain at least 7 people. If they have problems in some aspects, they can be retrained, but they can't be cut down so much. Of course, I allow you to dismantle these force."

"Yes, we will make another plan."

Li Jishen nodded.

Duan Xun thought about it.

Now it is different from before, Duan Xun already has the biggest advantage.At this time, Duan Xun has to show a kind of open mind.

After all, Fengjun is a big force.

Excessive suppression does not do much good.Moreover, among the Fengjun forces, many people are from the Northeast, and it is still necessary to rely heavily on these people to stabilize the Northeast in a short period of time.

Because they are familiar with the situation in the Northeast.

There is still a lot to rely on them in the future.

"Where's Zhang Zuoxiang?"

"Prime Minister, this person in Zhang Zuolin's army is not only a general, but also an aide, and a local official. It is difficult for our military department to arrange."

"Okay, skip him. Go on."

"There is also Yang Yuting. Prime Minister, Yang Yuting is in Fengjun. He is not only Zhang Zuolin's most trusted staff member, but also the builder of Zhang Zuolin's new army. He is also the person in charge of the Northeast Lecture Hall and Fengtian Armory. It is also difficult to arrange. I still have to listen to the Prime Minister. Views."

Li Jishen arranged for famous people, but Duan Xun would not use them.

Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Zuolin's brothers, Duan Xun basically can't use it.The most is to give them an honorary position and hang them high, but they will not be given real power.

Even if they are to be used in the future, it will only be given to some positions without much strength.

Therefore, these people Li Jishen is good at judgment and arrangement.

But some people Li Jishen is not easy to arrange directly.In particular, Zhang Zuolin's very capable people, and those who are not very old, Duan Xun may use them.For such a person, Li Jishen would not make his own decision and leave it to Duan Xun to judge.

This is true of Zhang Zuoxiang, and so is Yang Yuting.

These two people are very capable people in Fengjun.The important thing is that they are still young, all around 40 years old.As long as Duan Xun is willing, such a person may be reused.

"kindness."

Duan Xun read: "Yang Yuting, Yang Yuting."

Zhang Zuoxiang is actually easy to arrange.

He is very familiar with the Northeast. The important thing is that although this person was born as a bandit, he is very capable.Duan Xun is going to let Zhang Zuoxiang completely return to the local government to take up local positions.

Either go to Heilongjiang as the governor, or go to Jilin as the governor.

None of this is a big deal.

This needs to be discussed by Duan Xun and other members of the cabinet.After all, the governor is already a vassal, and Duan Xun cannot make the decision alone.

But Yang Yuting?

It's a little tricky.

Yang Yuting is Duan Xun's senior, and he was in the same class as Xu Shuzheng when he was in the Japanese Non-commissioned Officer Academy.The important thing is that although Yang Yuting is very capable, he is also a rebellious person.

The position given to him should not be too bad, otherwise Yang Yuting's self-esteem would not allow it.

Therefore, it is indeed difficult to give him any position.

"Let him serve as a special commissioner of the Equipment Department first, serve as the supervisor of Fengtian Arsenal, and be awarded the rank of lieutenant general. Turn Fengtian Arsenal into Hanyang Arsenal and Sichuan Arsenal, and then let him return to the Ministry of Military Affairs."

"Yes."

"Where are the other senior generals of Fengjun?"

"Enter Beijing and take up positions in the military department. For example, Bao Guiqing, Xu Lanzhou, Li Jinglin, and Wan Fulin are all transferred to Beijing and let them work in the military department. Promote mid-level officers in Fengjun's 40s, such as Jiang Dengxuan and Ma Zhanshan, and let them replace them. Then promote young officers like Wang Yizhe and Huang Xiansheng who are about 30 years old."

Duan Xun nodded.

Those at the top of the Feng army were basically bandits.Few of them have really received modern military education, and they have not learned modern warfare during the war.

Fighting is still a bandit style.

Regardless of the large number of Fengjun troops, let those people command the battle, and they won't even know how the troops are marching.Therefore, for the reorganization of Fengjun, such high-level officials are useless.It is impossible for Duan Xun to really use them.However, Fengjun really has some people with good abilities.

Some bandits were born, but they are generals who have been fighting on the front line all year round, and they are really capable.For example, Wu Junsheng and Ma Zhanshan have been fighting against the Mongolian bandits and White Russia all year round in Heilongjiang.

The cavalry tactics are very smooth, and they are all learned in the war.

Be it Mongolia or Heilongjiang, at this stage many places are deserted.How to use cavalry in battle here is very important.And Wu Junsheng and Ma Zhanshan are both excellent cavalry generals.

Duan Xun also needs those cavalry generals very much.

Therefore, Duan Xun still attaches great importance to cavalry generals such as Wu Junsheng and Ma Zhanshan.In Mongolia and Heilongjiang, they are very much needed to sit in town.

The officers below are all young officers with knowledge and experience.

Duan Xun likes them very much.

For example, Jiang Dengxuan, Wang Yizhe, and Huang Xiansheng are all well-educated, graduated from majors, and have led troops to fight in battles all year round.This plan is really good.

"I agree with your preliminary plan."

Duan Xun nodded.

Then said: "The military department will prepare a detailed Fengjun reorganization plan as soon as possible."

"Yes."

"The reorganization of Fengjun is just one of the recent tasks of your military department. Although this war is over, our war with Japan will not end because of this. You should understand what I mean?"

"Yes."
