"I would like to say that this border guard designation was originally reserved for Xu Shuzheng's participating troops. Now that Xiao Xu has been defeated, this designation has fallen on our heads. It is really God's will." Sun Liechen said with a smile.
"Now that we have called in the border defense force, we must take on all border affairs. From Northeast China to Outer Mongolia, we must develop a complete border defense system to protect the country's northern border."
Zhang Tinglan entered the role very quickly. With the title of border guard, it was natural to do whatever he wanted. Moreover, the time was right, Zhang Tinglan also wanted to show off his skills and completely stabilize the border.
As early as Zhang Zuolin was in Japan, Zhang Tinglan advocated developing westward, taking over Outer Mongolia, controlling the northwest, using these areas as the strategic hinterland of Fengjun, and then turning around to compete with the Japanese. Sun Liechen was also very clear about this strategy, and now it has arrived.
It’s time to really implement it.
But at this time, when Sun Liechen heard Zhang Tinglan's words, he seemed to be preparing for a big fight. Sun Liechen's heart suddenly moved. The combat mission had changed, and the army's organization also had to change, and every change in the organization was a new reshuffle.
Card, it seems that Fengjun’s power structure is about to be adjusted again!
"My humble opinion is that now that we have the designation of the Border Guard Force, we need to expand it. How many troops are you planning to expand?"
"This time the scope of Fengjun's defense has almost doubled. Just making small adjustments in the army obviously cannot meet the needs. I am planning to expand the army. The total number will exceed 200,000. From now on, Fengjun's system will be divided into three
There are three types, one is the border defense force, the other is the border defense mobile force, and the other is the local garrison force. The first two are directly under the management of the border defense army system, and the latter is under the leadership of the local military region."
As soon as Sun Liechen heard Zhang Tinglan's words, he immediately understood that this was the rhythm of a large-scale replacement of all troops! In fact, he had already expected that the Zhang Zuolin era had passed. The Zhang Tinglan era was about to begin, and major changes were inevitable.
Yes, all conditions are now mature, and metabolism has reached its final stage.
"I'm sorry, your father and I are sworn brothers. We have been through life and death for so many years, and now we are old and suffering from injuries. I have long wanted to take care of myself. Yuting died some time ago. I have to work hard to survive. Now
The situation is getting better and better, Fengjun is thriving, and it's time for me to go home."
Sun Liechen is a sensible person. Sometimes, rather than being driven away by others, it is better to leave on his own initiative. From a rough bandit to a prince now, Sun Liechen has done well in his life. He retreated bravely and made way for his descendants, and he still won the victory.
A good reputation, why not?
Zhang Tinglan pondered for a long time, and he was very happy that Sun Liechen was willing to leave. Sun Liechen was still here, and it would be troublesome to clean up the older generation. However, he did not want to create the impression that he could not tolerate others, so he said: "Sixth Master
, you will be strong when you are old. Why rush to retire? If you feel that the current affairs are a bit complicated, I suggest that you serve as the director of the reorganization committee and be responsible for the reorganization of the entire army!"
Reorganizing the army is a huge matter, and being able to hand it over to Sun Liechen's hands definitely reflects the importance he attaches to him. At the same time, it can relieve him from the front-line commanding duties, even if he is relegated to the second line!
"I would like to say, if that's the case, it's settled. I'll go sort out the situation of the various departments in the Fengjun Army now." Sun Liechen happily accepted the task.
Of course, if we want to fully reorganize the army, we must capture Chahar and Suiyuan. Only after we truly control these areas can we make arrangements calmly.
"Commander-in-Chief, congratulations on your promotion!" Sun Anhu said with a smile.
When assisting Chengde, Zhang Tinglan only mobilized more than 30,000 troops. It was enough to rescue Chengde, but it was a bit difficult to continue to expand the results. Therefore, he sent an order to mobilize troops to Fengtian, and Sun Anhu personally led it.
Three brigades from the former Northeast Frontier Army came to assist Zhang Tinglan.
These three brigades are the elite forces of the border defense army, with large personnel and the best weapons and equipment among the Feng army. The combat effectiveness of a brigade is almost as good as that of a division. After the arrival of these three brigades, Zhang Tinglan has the strength of the army.
When you become rich, you will have the capital to take the next step.
"A rising tide lifts all boats. In the past, the Northeastern Border Guard Force was subordinate to the Fengjun Army. The largest establishment was at the brigade level. It's not nice to say, and it's a bit unfair to everyone. Now with the authorization from the central government, it has officially received the designation of the Border Guard Force.
It must be unified and reorganized, and at least eight formal border defense divisions must be formed!"
When Sun Anhu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. If all eight divisions were fully equipped, they would have a strength of more than 100,000. The young man in front of him was really generous in doing things. Only by following such a leader can you have a future.
"Commander-in-Chief, who do you plan to appoint as the commander of the First Border Defense Division? If there is no one, I will nominate myself!"
"How can there be no one?" Jiang Dengxuan said with a smile on the side: "Old Sun, you are indeed senior, and it should be yours. However, this is an army, and it depends on military merit. Whoever can fight will be ranked first in the world.
To whom will the first division be given?"
"Well, let's compete to see who is suitable to be the commander of the first division!"
"Stop fighting. Since everyone is watching, let's take some advantage." When Zhang Tinglan saw his men fighting for each other, a smile appeared on his face. At least it shows that they are still very active. The army needs it.
That's the energy.
"Whoever can enter Zhangjiakou first and capture Xu Shuzheng and Chahar Dutong Tian Zhongyu will be the commander of the First Division!"
Zhang Tinglan took Xiao Xu as a bet here, and Xu Shuzheng, who led the remaining defeated soldiers and fled to Zhangjiakou, was on pins and needles. After escaping from Rehe, Xiao Xu ran all the way, fearing that Feng Jun would catch up with him from behind.
After finally running to Zhangjiakou, he counted the men and horses on hand and found that the remaining number was more than 2,300. Xiao Xu wanted to cry at that time. When he attacked Rehe, he was fierce, with more than 30,000 men and horses, and he was invincible.
, but now there are only so many troops left, and the opportunity has been wiped out for the whole army, so how can they have the face to meet Duan Qirui!
Thinking of Lao Duan, Xu Shuzheng became even more anxious. His men and horses were Duan Qirui's disciples, and now they were all lost. How could Lao Duan have a chance to make a comeback? In the era of warlords where the jungle was strong and the jungle was strong, the backbone of the army was lost.
Duan Qirui's situation is dangerous.
"Tian Dutong, do you have any information now? How is the Prime Minister?"
Tian Zhongyu's face was a little pale, and he was still hesitating when he spoke. At that time, Xu Shuzheng's eyes widened and he said loudly: "When is Tian Dutong here? Tell the truth quickly, even if the sky is falling."
, we have to find a way to deal with it together!"
"Supervision, to be honest, not long ago, Feng Guozhang, Cao Kun and others jointly sent a telegram asking Premier Duan to step down, and they also want to investigate and supervise you."
"Investigate me? Why, Xu has never done anything wrong in his life. Unfortunately, he failed because God did not bless me. As for other crimes that he wants to impose, Xu will never admit it!"
"Supervisor, have you forgotten about Lu Jianzhang?"
Tian Zhongyu mentioned Lu Jianzhang, and Xu Shuzheng's expression suddenly changed. Lu Jianzhang was also a veteran general in Beiyang and served as the governor of Shaanxi. Due to excessive raids and public resentment, a mutiny was triggered, and Lu Jianzhang was expelled from Shaanxi. After leaving Shaanxi,
Lu Jianzhang was not reconciled to failure. He also wanted to make a comeback and had contact with Zhang Xun again.
Later, Lu Jianzhang took the initiative to contact the Beiyang generals and wanted to jointly oppose Duan Qirui's policies. As a result, Xiao Xu found out and shot Lu Jianzhang to death. In the struggle between Beiyang factions, many people lost power, but
Everyone still adhered to the bottom line and did not risk death.
Especially for Mr. Su who had come down, everyone tried their best to give him preferential treatment and give him a way to survive. After all, they had worked together and had a close relationship. Only Xu Shuzheng went too far and beat Lu Jianzhang to death, causing great harm in Beiyang.
influence.
Although Lu Jianzhang is dead, he still has a nephew, the defecting general Feng Yuxiang. He and Feng Yuxiang are not only relatives, but it was Lu Jianzhang who promoted Feng Yuxiang into the army, allowing him to stand out and make a difference.
Feng Yuxiang was grateful to Lao Lu, and it was precisely because of this that Feng Yuxiang turned to Zhang Zuolin and acted as an internal agent to overthrow Lao Duan and Xiao Xu. In the end, his success failed, Lao Zhang died at the hands of the Japanese, and Feng Yuxiang could only lead him
He put on his cronies' make-up and escaped. He ran all the way to Nanjing and took refuge with an important figure in the immediate circle, Li Chun, the governor of Jiangsu, and finally saved his life.
After enduring for several months, the world situation suddenly changed. Xu Shuzheng was defeated outside the customs, the Anhui clique was completely overthrown, and Feng Yuxiang's identity also changed. Especially he had contact with Zhang Zuolin. Although it failed, it was still a close relationship. Feng Yuxiang relied on
Taking advantage of this, he filed a complaint with Beiyang, demanding the arrest of Xu Shuzheng and avenging Lu Jianzhang.
Tian Zhongyu's words brought back this hidden secret, making Xu Shuzheng even more restless. He didn't even dare to escape back to Beijing and Tianjin. He was afraid of being caught. Being trapped in Zhangjiakou was not a long-term solution. Xiao Xu almost turned gray with worry all night.
"Supervisor, something bad has happened. Premier Duan was ousted, and Zhang Tinglan became the envoy to inspect Mongolia!"
Tian Zhongyu took a power supply and sent it to Xu Shuzheng. After he saw it, his eyes suddenly blurred and he almost fell to the ground. Lao Duan had completely fallen, and he had no backer. Zhang Tinglan's rise to power was not good for him.
information.
"Tian Dutong, Zhang Tinglan is ruthless. Since he has become the patrol envoy of Mongolia, he will never let Chahar go. Where should we go? Do you have any ideas?"
"Supervisor, although this Chahar is barren, it is still the leader of the party. I really don't want to let him go. It's just that the Feng army is powerful and I will have a small army. I am no match for others."
"Tian Dutong, if you are willing, Xu is willing to help you command the troops and fight to the death with Feng Jun. Maybe there is a glimmer of hope."
Xu Shuzheng was facing a pursuit order and couldn't escape, so he had no choice but to fight to the death. At this moment, someone suddenly sent a telegram from Zhang Tinglan.
"Supervisor, they want to take the Chahar road to Suiyuan, let us make way."
"Huh, this is a false plan to destroy Guo. You must not be fooled!" (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
