In the few days from April 16th to April 18th, the Second Regiment successively set off for the new stations of Tanghai and Leting.)
After being busy recently, Zhao Jishi formulated a rough relocation plan. As early as a few days before the 15th, he had sent people with Yuan Su's notice to Tanghai County and Laoting County to arrange the response work in advance.
By noon on the 18th, Yuan Su personally saw off Zhao Jishi and everyone from the Second Regiment Headquarters. Although it was the Regiment Headquarters in name, it was not so easy to raise a group of leading units, the Second Regiment and the Third Regiment in just a few days.
The regiment headquarters is basically a group of people from the camp office of the middle camp and right camp. Now these people not only have to handle the official affairs of the regiment headquarters, but also take care of their respective camp affairs.
The atmosphere in the entire Changli County suddenly became much more relaxed. Whether it was the official gentry class in Changli County or the old patrol battalion and others, the Second Regiment was ordered to be transferred to Tanghai County and Laoting County, which marked the change of this military coup.
The crisis is completely over. Even if there is still investigation from above, it is nothing more than Yuan Su's fault. At most, another person will take over Yuan Su's position, but the situation after Yuan Su has rectified it will not change.
In the afternoon of the 18th, Yuan Su convened all the officers of the Third Regiment for another small meeting. This time he specially invited He Keping and several other important officials from the county government to participate.
The meeting mainly explained two things. First, Yuan Su decided to leave for Luanzhou tomorrow, and the military work of the third regiment to guard Changli would be given to Li Jinfu. At the same time, he also indirectly hinted that the military and political work should be separated. The military would not interfere in politics, and the government would
It does not involve the military; secondly, following the first point, it is proposed that Li Jinfu and He Keping should supervise and cooperate with each other, which means that they are equal opponents in terms of job level.
Of course, He Keping and Li Jinfu both understood what Yuan Su said, but their moods were different.
He Keping was naturally very happy. He no longer had to worry about the army oppressing the county government in the future. Li Jinfu had been looking forward to Yuan Su's return to Luanzhou in the past few days. From now on, he alone would have the final say in Changli County. He did not expect that Yuan Su would say such a thing today.
, it is clear that the purpose is to restrict military power, how can I be happy?
However, even though Li Jinfu is currently dissatisfied, he does not dare to complain. Although he is now the leader, many people below are not convinced and even covet him for his position. Since there is competition, there will naturally be compromises.
He is not happy that military power is being restricted, but those below may not think so.
The patrol camp has been completely wiped out by Yuan Su, and these people have long lost the ability to fight against Yuan Su.
Although Yuan Su is a person who advocates real power, he also clearly believed that military power should be above the political power in Luanzhou earlier. Not only did he think so before, but he still thinks so now. However, the so-called "above the political power" must be
It's you, not anyone else.
In order to prevent his subordinates from having evil intentions, he must now establish a system of separation of local military and political affairs. This is not only a novelty to the current political situation in most parts of China, but also lays the foundation for the country's restoration of stability in the future.
At the end of the meeting, Yuan Su discussed some miscellaneous issues with everyone, such as what was missing in the patrol camp before, and the unification of military uniforms, flags, armbands, etc. After listening to the summary report, Yuan Su said that he would issue a uniform to the entire army as soon as possible.
A set of summer military uniforms and new marching backpacks, as well as standard supplies for each battalion, company and platoon, will also be fully replenished within three months.
Since the army currently does not have an established designation, flags, armbands and other markings can only be put aside for the time being. However, some adjustments should be made to winter clothing. After all, the first regiment is the uniform of the new army, the second regiment, and the third regiment are the uniforms of the patrol battalion. Although the patterns are very
Similar, but different colors.
After a brief consideration, Yuan Su planned to wait for the above arrangement. Summer is coming anyway, and unified summer military uniforms will be issued by then. The winter clothes worn now will soon be retired. By September or October this year, if there is no such thing as the above
Arrangements, then make other arrangements. It doesn't matter if the colors are different. Anyway, the military uniforms of the armies of various provinces in China are not uniform to begin with.
The next morning, Zhao Shanhe and Sun Desheng had already made preparations to return to Luanzhou.
Sun Desheng has been very close to Zhao Shanhe these days. On the one hand, he hopes to curry favor with the people directly related to Yuan Su. On the other hand, because he has become a "traitor", he is not getting along well with the people of the Second and Third Regiments.
. He doesn't care, anyway, he doesn't rely on the second or third group to make a living. As long as he hugs the right thigh, he doesn't have to worry about anything else.
Just like following Yuan Su, Zhao Shanhe and others back to Luanzhou this time, they had already left Changli County, a place of right and wrong. From now on, following Yuan Su would be regarded as a direct force, why not? As for Wang Huaiqing's big house
, put it aside here for the time being, and then you can leave it to your family to live in or resell it.
Yuan Su stayed at the headquarters camp until after noon to handle the remaining military arrangements, and then set off for Luanzhou with the second and third battalions.
Arriving in Luanzhou in the evening, Yuan Su first arranged for Sun Desheng's third battalion to be temporarily stationed in the camp area on the outskirts of Beicheng, and then went to the Luanzhou Republican Government to meet with Wang Litong.
Wang Litong has been maintaining telegram exchanges with Changli County in the past few days. Even if Yuan Su is not in Luanzhou, he still assigns some tasks to Wang Litong and Chen Wenian every day, allowing them to handle everything in Luanzhou in an orderly manner.
The reason why Yuan Su came to see Wang Litong as soon as possible was to discuss with him how to explain Wang Huaiqing's matter to his superiors. After rectifying the patrol camp, the next top priority was to find a reasonable reason to explain it to him, and to end this period as soon as possible.
Time is a toss-up situation.
In this regard, the reason why he needed Wang Litong's help was not a problem, it was just to collude with him to understand the whole story, in case Beijing or the provincial government would send someone down to investigate.
After Wang Litong listened to Yuan Su's instructions, he immediately expressed his obligation and would pass on these words as soon as possible.
Returning to the headquarters compound, Chen Wennian and Guo Wenyuan had been waiting to greet them for a long time.
Yuan Su came to the office in Yingkou with everyone, and first listened to Chen Wenian's report on his military affairs during his absence in Luanzhou.
During these ten days, Chen Wennian's two most important tasks were to supervise Kuiziying and Zuoying, and later on the establishment of three regiments. After Kuiziying and Zuoying received orders to return to Changli County, he
Then he put all his energy into the establishment of the first regiment and the headquarters.
Even though the leader of the first regiment, Zhao Shanhe, was not in Luanzhou, the reorganization work was proceeding in an orderly manner under the supervision of Chen Wenian.
Now, the regiment headquarters and all the battalions under the regiment are aware of the current changes in the army. Chen Wennian has dealt with everything that needs to be changed, changed, and emphasized.
"Brother Gongtai, you've worked really hard. You single-handedly supported the overall situation of Luanzhou and handled everything in an orderly manner. You really deserve a lot of credit." After listening to Chen Wenian's report, Yuan Su said with admiration.
"It's all part of the job. Compared with when I was at the 79 mark, this matter is actually much easier." Chen Wenian said with a smile.
"Everyone here today is my own, and Lao Sun is no longer an outsider from today on, so I won't hide what I have to say. Although our three regiments do not have official designations, the name and power of the headquarters are the same.
The regulations still need to be clearly defined, so the headquarters above the three regiments must also implement the organizational structure as soon as possible." Yuan Su continued.
"What Mr. Yuan said is absolutely true. This matter will be settled sooner or later. It is better to do it sooner rather than later. This will make it easier to convey military orders in the future." Chen Wenian nodded in agreement.
"I have been thinking about a personnel transfer list in the past few days. Today, while everyone is here, I will simply implement it first. From now on, there is no need to mention the name of the Security Corps Headquarters. It will be referred to as the Headquarters for the time being. Until
We will make further conclusions after the number is determined above." Yuan Su continued.
Everyone present listened attentively. Although in their opinion, there are still many things unresolved, but if they survive until now, even if it is just a temporary pleasure, they should gain a deserved status.
The list drawn up by Yuan Su did not differ much from the previous personnel appointments of the security corps. It only added a few more functional positions on the original basis. Chen Wennian served as the chief of general staff and logistics commander of the army; He Qigong followed
The second battalion was transferred to the headquarters and served as the first-class staff officer and chief of the Military Justice Department and the Training Department; Du Yu was the first adjutant of the commander-in-chief and commander of the headquarters' guard company; Guo Wenyuan resigned from the Luanzhou Reserve Commander and was promoted to Tongyong Reserve
Commander-in-Chief; Sun Desheng is the second adjutant of the Commander-in-Chief and assumes the duties of commander of the third battalion.
In addition, after Zhao Shanhe was promoted to commander of the first regiment, the commander of the first battalion was handed over to Sun Jing, the commander of the second battalion was replaced by Sun Lianzhong, and the commander of the Luanzhou Reserve was Ge Jinzhang.
After listening to Yuan Su's introduction, no one had any objections. This personnel change was almost no surprise. Everyone has a resounding and real name, which can be said to be expected by everyone.
"After that, everyone will perform their duties and improve the systems and personnel of each department. It needs to be mentioned that the Militia Supervisory Training Office will find a suitable opportunity to directly change it to Luanzhou Reserve Command." Yuan Su said plainly.
.
"I understand." Guo Wenyuan replied.
"We must pay attention to the reserve system. I, Yuan Su, have laid a certain foundation by running civil defense. This foundation cannot be ignored. I will not only establish reserves in Luanzhou, Changli, Tanghai, Leting, and from now on, as long as I, Yuan Su,
In the jurisdiction that Su takes over, all county-level units must have a complete reserve system. Bo Ji, these things all depend on you." Yuan Su looked at Guo Wenyuan seriously and said in an emphatic tone.
"Commander-in-Chief, please rest assured that I will live up to your trust." Guo Wenyuan said solemnly.
After the conversation ended, Yuan Su asked everyone to leave first, but asked Guo Wenyuan to stay alone for a moment.
Guo Wenyuan knew very well that Yuan Su wanted to ask about escorting Wang Huaiqing out of customs, and he originally planned to report as soon as possible.
After everyone left the office, Yuan Su asked Guo Wenyuan: "Bo Ji, when did you return to Luanzhou?"
"It was the early morning of the 9th. I escorted Wang Huaiqing and his family to Shanhaiguan. It took two days and three nights. The journey from Changli County to Shanhaiguan was only more than a day. Unfortunately, there were more than a hundred members of the Wang family and they could not travel in one day.
Thirty miles, so we were delayed." Guo Wenyuan replied.
"Did Wang Huaiqing send telegrams, letters, or send people out along the way?"
"I did not notice such behavior in my humble position. Although everyone in the Wang family complained, they often heard people saying that they were going to send telegrams to complain to Xu Taibao, but whenever this happened, Wang Huaiqing would scold his family and never sent anyone to send a message.
A telegram." Guo Wenyuan said meticulously.
"Xu Taibao? Could it be Xu Shichang?" Yuan Su murmured to himself, his face gradually becoming more thoughtful.
At that time, Xu Shichang was worshiped as the crown prince and Taibao, so most people in the official circles called him "Master Taibao".
Yuan Su really didn't expect that Wang Huaiqing and Xu Shichang had a relationship, but fortunately Xu Shichang was currently idle at home, and he gradually returned to politics after Yuan Shikai's death. Even if Wang Huaiqing complained to Xu Shichang at this time, I'm afraid Xu Shichang wouldn't be able to help him much.
.
"Has Wang Huaiqing said anything about his plans after arriving at Shanhaiguan?" Yuan Su asked again.
"I heard from relatives of the Wang family that they would stop in Shanhaiguan for more than ten days to rest, and then go to Fengtian to settle down. However, these are just rumors, and Wang Huaiqing himself has not revealed anything." Guo Wenyuan said.
"I understand, let's do this for now, you go ahead." Yuan Su sighed slightly, and then said.
Guo Wenyuan originally wanted to say something more, but he was afraid that it would cause trouble to Yuan Sutu, so he resigned and left.
Yuan Su pondered for a while alone. Regardless of whether Wang Huaiqing had other intentions, he still had to proceed step by step. After about ten minutes, he took out a pen and paper and began to draft a letter and a telegram.
The content of the telegram is an explanation of the Wang Huaiqing incident, and both will be sent to the provincial capital and Beijing respectively early tomorrow morning.
He knew very well that these two letters were not an important factor in determining his success or failure. Because no matter how he described the cause, process and results of the incident, no matter how well he compiled it, he would only be able to fool some people in the end. And it was precisely those who could not.
The person who deceives the past is the key to determining the success or failure of this time.
This step has to be taken. It has been delayed for some time to consolidate the rule of Luanzhou, Changli and other places. Any further delay will only make the provincial government and Beijing suspicious. Now is the time to make the final move.
A game, no matter success or failure, there is no turning back from this road.
