As the dispute over road rights deepened, newspapers across Sichuan began to openly criticize the Qing court's actions, and ordinary people also began to discuss it, as if a huge volcano was brewing energy, waiting to explode. However, at this time, the Qing court
There is no preparation yet, and the high-pressure is still high. Except for Dongchuan, chaos is brewing in other places, especially the Tongmenghui, Ge Laohui and other organizations are also involved, making things even more uncontrollable.
At this time, Qiao Yu is stepping up training of the army and has strong strength. Although the history of Dongchuan has changed greatly due to his intervention, it is not enough to affect the general trend of the world. The royal cabinet still appears, and the road protection movement is in front of him. In the near future
The revolution will inevitably come, and when that time comes, it will be inevitable to fight with real swords and guns. This is completely different from dealing with bandits and suppressing the Communist Party. It is a real large-scale battle. Qiao Yu has no confidence in his heart.
Sichuan is in an unfavorable situation with enemies on all sides. The north is facing the pressure of Beiyang. The two lakes in the east are also where strong troops gather. The Yunnan Army in the south is also a strong army. Can you successfully defeat these forces and successfully generalize?
With Sichuan in hand, there are still some doubts in my mind. All I can do is step up training of the army.
At the same time, two bullet production lines were ordered from Bushit. However, this is different from selling weapons. It must be supported by the German government. And Qiao Yu's status is still too low for the Germans to invest in him. Therefore,
Although the talks did not go smoothly, Chongqing Consul General Wei Si had a good impression of Qiao Yu and promised to help him convince the country to increase support for Qiao Yu.
Although the production line could not be introduced, another 5,000 Mauser rifles and eight 75mm mountain cannons were shipped. Together with the artillery purchased last time, an artillery battalion could be equipped, which made Qiao Yu
The heavy firepower has been strengthened. Now Qiao Yu has nearly 5,000 men and cannons. In terms of scale, it is enough to establish a mixed association. All that is missing is a designation.
Just when Qiao Yu was planning how to continue to expand his strength, the results of the court's handling of the Chongqing patrol camp incident suddenly came. The deceased Yunxiang was praised. Zhu Youji was transferred to Yunnan as the chief envoy for his effective handling. At the same time,
Niu Chuanshan took over Dongchuan Road. At the same time, the Qing government gave Niu Chuanshan the right to train troops in view of the unavailability of the patrol camp, allowing him to organize and train a new army of the Association. He Xin was appointed as the association commander. Qiao Yu became the deputy commander because of his merits in handling the incident.
Xie Tong is responsible for training matters. In addition, news came from Sichuan Governor Zhao Erfeng. He is still on the border of Sichuan and has not been able to return to Chengdu. However, he has asked Qiao Zhen to come to Chongqing with a battalion of elite border troops to guard it.
Niu Chuanshan received the appointment from the imperial court, looked at Zhu Youji with a wry smile, and cursed the imperial court for being stupid. Originally, Qiao Yu had an unfair reputation in controlling Chongqing, but now he has given him the power to organize and train the new army, especially for people like himself.
The puppet in his hands was gone. Looking at Zhu Youji jumping out of the fire pit, Niu Chuanshan smiled bitterly: "Sir, you are free, but you have suffered a lot for me!"
Zhu Youji couldn't be happier since he knew he could leave Chongqing. He was ignored by Qiao Yu in Chongqing and had no power at all. Moreover, he was worried that Qiao Yu would rebel, and he might have to sacrifice his head to the flag by then.
Now that I can escape from danger, how can I not be happy? The wrinkles on the old man's face are all happy.
"Brother, you don't have to be like this. You should know if I have jumped into a pit of fire again. Now the world is in turmoil. Brother, just try your best to maintain it. It is our duty to be loyal to the court!" Zhu Youji explained a few words calmly,
I hurriedly packed up and went straight to Yunnan to take up my post.
After Qiao Yu got the news, he was even more happy. It seemed that the Qing court was really cooperating with him. It would be much better to have a formal establishment. It just so happened that Qiao Yu now had nearly 5,000 people under his command. Without effective reorganization
It is difficult to exert combat effectiveness, but what is more depressing is that I have assigned myself a superior officer, who is the former deputy commander of the patrol battalion, He Xin. Although that guy is a loser, he is inevitably constrained and has to find a way to deal with this eyesore.
Lose.….
The subordinates were also very happy at this time. Although everyone received training from the army, they were all in the name of patrol police and patrol army, so they felt a little uncomfortable. Now that they could fully become regular officers, they were naturally extremely happy.
According to the standards of the Qing Dynasty's new army, one slope is equivalent to a brigade in later generations. One slope has two divisions, that is, the regiment level. Each division has three battalions. Although Qiao Yu has many talents, he can stand alone.
There were not many, so after weighing, Han Yong was appointed as the commander of the second bid, Qiao Yu personally concurrently served as the commander of the first bid, Wang Huai, Liu Yunhong, and Su Ding were appointed as the three battalion officers of the first bid, and the three of the second bid.
The battalion officers are Shi Yi, Zhang Zili and Li Jingyuan.
Yu Jianxiong became the battalion officer of the artillery battalion. In addition, Qiao Yu selected a cavalry commander from among the first few guards who followed him. This man was named Zhang Tie. Both he and Han Yong had experienced the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War.
Yes, he is very good at equestrian skills. Although he is a bit boring, he is very loyal and experienced in doing things, so I left the cavalry to him.
In addition, Qiao Yu established an engineering battalion, an artillery battalion, a medical team, a baggage team, and an independent special operations team. Plus a guard battalion to protect Qiao Yu. In total, this association has more than 6,000 people.
, it has caught up with half of the Beiyang New Army. If it can be fully trained, the combat effectiveness of this army will be very objective, especially since it is equipped with German-made weapons, and Qiao Yu has also increased the allocation of machine guns and formed a
A machine gun battalion is equipped with more than 80 light and heavy machine guns. However, Qiao Yu does not have so many machine guns in his hands now. He has wiped out the assets of the Chongqing Arsenal. In addition, there are only more than 30 guns originally purchased, so he has to step up his purchases.
.
Reorganizing the troops is not an easy task. Just when Qiao Yu was extremely busy, He Xin suddenly came to visit him. He Xin was still his nominal boss, so Qiao Yu could only receive him politely.
He Xin was not tall, with a shy belly and a smile on his face. When he entered the school grounds, he saw that the troops were training in full swing. He Xin smiled and nodded: "Shun Qing, you are really young and promising. You can do this."
I am very happy to organize the army quickly! However, organizing a new army is ultimately a big deal. I have to say it harshly, you are still young. It is best for everyone to discuss some things. Brother is not looking for
You are troublesome, it’s just that someone is causing trouble for me, please help me more!”
When Qiao Yu heard this, his expression suddenly changed. He gave you a co-union, but he really regarded himself as a thing. He wanted to interfere in the affairs of the army and put people in it. You are asking for trouble. Qiao Yu sneered.
He shouted: "Commander He, I am young and don't quite understand your official language. If you have anything to say, just say it!"
He Xin was actually unwilling to conflict with Qiao Yu. He Xin had already seen Qiao Yu's power on the night of the incident at the patrol camp. Therefore, although he became the co-president, he was prepared to keep his tail between his legs. However, Qiao Yu was training the new army.
He was completely promoting officers from his own subordinates, and all the officers from the original patrol battalion were useless. How could these people not talk to He Xin, and He Xin also felt that he was the co-president. Your surname is Qiao, and you can't eat dry food.
He Xin also felt a little scared when he saw Qiao Yu's gloomy expression, and his tone immediately softened.
"Brother Qiao, I can't help it. Many people are surrounding my door crying and shouting. We all have been serving for many years. I can't watch everyone drink from the northwest wind. You can at least enjoy the food.
Even if I beg you, brother!"
"He Xietong, you asked those officers to come to me. When there was trouble in the patrol camp, they ran away completely. Most of the trouble fell on me. Later, when the patrol camp had to be rectified, it was all paid for by the subordinates. They knew it was
The thankless tasks have been avoided. Now that the imperial court has provided an establishment, the army has become a hot commodity again. Everyone wants to take a bite, and tell them not to think about it. Although the imperial court has provided an establishment, they still owe their salaries.
I’ll pay in advance, but I’ll never give my meal to anyone else!”
