Hearing Duan Qirui ask how he would deal with the situation, He Rui replied: "Report to the commander-in-chief, if it is a humble response, I will send a battalion of fully equipped Beiyang Army to Changchun. Inform the Japanese garrison in Guandong not to mess around. If it is a Japanese trick,

, just blame the Japanese for what they are doing, and argue with reason. If the Japanese army is really deceived by lard and attacks our army, it will be a fight with the Japanese army. As long as the troops have adequate training in equipment and equipment, and are always on guard and fully prepared in advance, the Japanese army will only be afraid of stealing.

The chicken loses the rice."

Duan Qirui was relieved when he heard that He Rui was not afraid of fighting the Japanese army. Just as he was thinking about arranging He Rui's errands, he suddenly remembered some worrying comments from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs about the situation and asked: "He Rui, if Japan really

Do you want to recruit volunteers to fight in Europe?"

He Rui immediately replied: "Report to the Chief, this is really impossible. Not only is it embarrassing, but it will also cost money. It will cost a lot of money to train a group of Northeastern people who have no military foundation to be able to shoot guns and march. Then it will cost a lot of money."

The so-called volunteer army sent to Europe is even more expensive. If recruits are recruited in Japan, trained and then sent to Europe, the cost will probably be less than using the Chinese volunteer army."

Duan Qirui no longer had any doubts, "He Rui. Are you willing to send you to work under Zhang Xiluan to deal with this matter?"

He Rui replied loudly: "Report to the commander-in-chief, I am willing to humble my position. I just don't know in what capacity the commander-in-chief wants me to serve under General Zhen'an."

Duan Qirui thought about it in his mind, "Now each regiment of the Northeastern Provincial Army has a commander. I will give you a temporary regiment structure. You first go to Baoding Army Officer School to recruit a few officers, and then go to Changchun to recruit troops yourself. As for the identity

... Lieutenant Colonel."

He Rui did not ask for advice or bargaining, and responded decisively: "I humbly obey my orders."

Duan Qirui asked coldly: "He Rui. If you can't handle the affairs between Russia and the Japanese, do you know what will happen?"

"Report to the Commander-in-Chief. If he is despicable and incompetent to that extent, he will not need to be executed by the Commander-in-Chief. He will commit suicide first because of his despicable position. We will never lose our people in Beiyang."

Duan Qirui studied in Japan and committed suicide by committing seppuku. Then he chuckled, picked up the tea cup, and said, "Drink tea."

"General Manager Xie, I have resigned from my humble position."

Duan Qirui's staff brought Lieutenant Colonel Lu and He Rui out. Duan Qirui asked them to wait outside the door before he returned to the office.

As soon as the staff left, Lieutenant Colonel Lu rubbed his hands and sighed: "I didn't expect that Brother He would be favored by Commander Duan and he would go to Jilin to take up the post. It's really admirable."

Listening to Lieutenant Colonel Lu's sour words, He Rui asked jokingly: "Brother Lu, do you also want to go to Changchun?"

Lieutenant Colonel Lu sighed, but did not answer. As long as they have seen the colorful world inside the customs, who would want to go outside the customs? During the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, the Manchus did not want to stay outside the customs. It would be better to stay in Fengtian, Changchun belongs to Jilin Province

, is a place where refugees from Guandong only go.

According to the rules of Beiyang, when He Rui was sent to Changchun, as long as he established a foothold there, he would become the leader of the local army.

At present, Jilin is on the front line of the conflict with Russia and Japan. Mongolian tribes nearby also go to Jilin to harass them from time to time. If you lead a few people there, you may not even be able to save your life. If Lieutenant Colonel Lu had been so determined, he would have

Nothing will happen to He Rui.

Just watching the little boy from Beiyang embark on the road to prosperity in front of his eyes, Lieutenant Colonel Lu smiled and said: "Haha, Brother He, do you know how to collect local taxes and recruit troops?"

He Rui smiled and didn't answer.

Lieutenant Colonel Lu felt that he had an opportunity, so he took a step closer and said, "Brother He will set up a table in Bada Hutong, and I will help Brother He invite some brothers. Everyone is enjoying the drink, and they will naturally tell Brother He the key points."

Just as He Rui was about to shake his head to express his refusal, Duan Qirui's staff had already come out and said to He Rui: "Commander He, let's go."

Lieutenant Colonel Lu asked first: "Where to go?".

Duan Qirui's staff had no expression on his face and replied coldly: "Commander He will follow me to the Army Department."

This process went really fast. When the staff showed Duan Qirui's warrant, the Ministry of War approved the official documents and letters on the same day.

The next day, the staff took He Rui to the Army Department again to complete the rest of the process. From the paperwork such as military status and files to the work that required movement such as military uniforms, class insignia, and guns, all were performed smoothly.

After everything was done, the two of them arrived at the army department. The staff said: "Captain He, are you going to have a banquet in Bada Hutong to entertain those old military officers? If you don't know the people there, I will introduce you to one, which will definitely be beneficial.

.”

He Rui shook his head, "Beizhi has been in the military academy for so many years, and what he has learned is how to train and lead troops. After arriving in Changchun, Beizhi has already made plans on how to recruit troops. Beizhi will not go to the Eight Great Alleys."

The staff member had been working with He Rui for the past two days. He had always been serious in speech and did not chat with He Rui. Hearing what He Rui said, he showed a smile. He took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to He Rui, "Captain He, I

It can be seen that Commander Duan thinks highly of you. This is the departure fee given by Commander Duan, you must make good use of it. If you go to Baoding Military Academy to recruit people, you still have to rely on this money to go to Fengtian."

He Rui took out the contents of the envelope, which was a check for 1,000 yuan from Beijing Bank.

Raising his hands to salute his staff, He Rui said: "Sir, I would like to thank you for your hard work these days. I would also like to ask you to convey your humble feelings to General Duan. Once your humble post reaches the border, I will definitely not let the Japanese army have the courage to cause trouble again."

The staff member smiled and said, "Brother He, please do your best and don't disappoint the chief. Farewell."

After saying that, the staff turned around and left without stopping at all.

He Rui had only read in some books that Duan Qirui was very honest. Only after seeing the master's behavior did he know that it was probably true.

Compared with a guy like Lieutenant Colonel Lu who is afraid of death and wants to take advantage, Duan Qirui's personal character may be okay. As a national leader, Duan Qirui is completely unqualified.

On the train to Baoding, He Rui went through the process of recruiting officers for the third time. When he closed his eyes and relaxed, he couldn't help but imagine what the young Beiyang Army cadets would look like. Among China's young elites,

Who will follow me on the road to open up a new era? Just thinking about it makes me look forward to it.

On the morning of May 25, Lieutenant General Wang Ruxian, the principal of the Baoding Army Military Academy, read the official letter issued by the Ministry of War and looked at He Rui's identity document. But he did not speak immediately.

It’s not that Principal Wang is showing off, all the graduates of Baoding Military Academy are excellent. At this time, when the military is expanding, students are in great demand. He Rui, a head of empty-minded regiment who came to the military academy to recruit students, had no chance to meet Principal Wang Ruxian. But Duan Qi

Rui sent a telegram, and Wang Ruxian had to condescend.

When people meet him, it means he has given Duan Qirui enough face. Principal Wang asked: "How many people have been approved by the Army Ministry?"

"Report to the principal that the Army Department has approved four officers."

After graduating from the Baoding Army Officer School, the cadets returned to the local area and were at least company commanders. In a place like this outside the customs, serving as a battalion commander was more than enough. There were four battalions in one regiment. Seeing that the Army Department was not messing around, Wang Ruxian ordered: "What should I do with you?"
