Chapter 285: Hu Jingyi's Choice
For the departing Hu Jingyi, Qian Yansheng was not worried at all. Because now the Northeast Security Army has taken control of the overall situation. This big move was carried out by Qian Yansheng and Zhou Bo for a long time. The prerequisite for its performance is that outsiders do not know the specific strength of the current 1st Brigade. After occupying Yulin, Qian Yansheng learned about the contradiction between Hu Jingyi and Chen Shufan, and immediately set out to contact Hu Jingyi, and then brewed this coup. At the same time, the newly formed troops during this period pretended to be the Jīng Rui 1st Brigade to operate in the Yulin area, and the real 1st Brigade JĪNG Rui soldiers were broken into pieces and infiltrated into the Xi'an area. Now it is even more sudden to take control of the entire Qin army in the name of Hu Jingyi. Those who resisted were purged. Although this made the Qin army panic to a certain extent, it fundamentally put an end to the possible mutiny of the Qin army. Now the entire Qin army has been supervised, and the entire city of Xi'an has also returned to calm.
"Is there anything going on with the commissar?" Qian Yansheng asked.
"Everything is fine on the commissar's side. The first batch of political work cadres sent by the Northeast Headquarters is about to arrive. The political commissar said that it would be assigned to the Qin army first. Qian Yansheng's staff Jiang Qi said.
"That's fine. But Lao Jiang, you must now start screening and reorganizing the Qin army as soon as possible, cutting out the old and weak, and preserving the jīng rui. The young marshal has conveyed the order, and Beiyang zhèng fǔ now has a tendency to send troops, and the most likely person to do it to us is the Beiyang Li Chunbu who is nesting in southern Shaanxi. Therefore, the jīng rui of our first brigade must be transferred out as soon as possible, and it can't be used to supervise such a trivial matter as Qin soldiers. ”
"Yes! However, Commander, the Qin soldiers were basically recruited by Chen Shufan in the past two years, and the quality of the soldiers is not bad, but the ideological problems are serious, and the Qin army has lacked war in the past two years, and the training level of the soldiers is extremely low, so I am afraid that it will not be able to withstand the war. Jiang Qi said worriedly.
"You don't have to worry about this, with the jīng rui of our first brigade, there is nothing to fear in the face of a rout like Li Chun. Lao Jiang, now Hu Jingyi's mind is uncertain, I want you to deal with the affairs of the entire Qin Army for the time being. Although we can't clearly claim that we have annexed the Qin army, we still have to change the image of the Qin army. In the past, the bad problems of the Qin army must be resolutely changed. Military tribunals and gendarmerie were also to be established first in the Qin army. We must not let the Qin army harm the common people. Qian Yansheng said.
"Yes! Commander, the total strength of the Qin army is 30,000 people, plus large and small security regiments, the strength is not small. Even if the dross is removed, the number will not be less than 20,000. For the question of the establishment of the Qin army, clear instructions from the commander are needed. ”
"I will report the issue of preparation to the Northeast headquarters as soon as possible. However, the handling of the Qin army should be done as soon as possible, and I think that the selected soldiers from the Qin army can be organized into two temporary brigades. The specific preparation still has to wait for the approval of the young marshal. "The unauthorized expansion of the First Brigade last time has made Qian Yansheng reprimanded by Feng Yong, and the two of them have also been punished. This time, Qian Yansheng didn't dare to make his own decisions. After all, arrogance is a taboo in the army.
Hu Jingyi returned to his mansion, full of worries, and his family looked at Hu Jingyi's solemn face and didn't dare to ask more. Not long after, Hu Jingyi's henchmen brought Gao Jun and Cao Shiying together.
"Big brother, what's going on, why are there even their people stationed near your mansion?" Gao Jun walked in from outside the mansion with an angry face. Next to him, Cao Shiying, whose face is also not very good.
"How's our troop?" Hu Jingyi asked worriedly. In recent years, he has been suppressed by Chen Shufan in all aspects, which made Hu Jingyi pay more attention to the troops in his hands. Only staying in his descendants' troops gave him a sense of security.
"Our troops are fine for the time being. But their men appeared outside the troops. They also asked our troops to stay in the camp. What the fuck is this called? This Xi'an city was built by us. How did it become their territory! "Cao Shiying's temper is even hotter than Gao Jun. And talking and doing things don't go through the brain. Easy to be taken advantage of. Otherwise, Chen Shufan would not have let him not even get the establishment of regular troops. In the end, he was named and had no authority as the deputy head of the regiment. If it weren't for Cao Shiying being Hu Jingyi's sworn brother, there would be no need to worry about loyalty, even Hu Jingyi wouldn't dare to reuse him like him.
Hearing that the troops were fine, Hu Jingyi felt a little relieved. I know that the Northeast has no intention of killing it all for the time being. Now the form of Xi'an has been completely controlled by the Northeast. And all this is because of their own reversal movement. Hu Jingyi never expected that the Northeast Security Army would silently move tens of thousands of Jīng Rui troops to Xi'an. Qian Yansheng, the commander of the First Brigade in Northeast China, personally appeared in the ancient city of Xi'an. This gives him a sense of being taken advantage of. This is also the reason why he did not make a decision on the solicitation of the Northeast at the first time.
Hu Jingyi didn't know much about the Northeast, and he knew a lot of things after the Northeast sent troops to Yulin. After all, Hu Jingyi was only a regiment leader of the Qin Army before, even if his personal prestige was high, but his actual position of power made him unable to access very high-level things. For the senses of the Northeast, it is all newspaper information from the country. There are a lot of inaccuracies in it. However, after Qian Yansheng occupied the Yulin area, he cracked down on horse bandits and cleared the place. So that northern Shaanxi suddenly changed from chaos to stability. It's just that now the Northeast is worried about the reaction of the Beiyang, and has not officially raised the banner and established a local zhèng fǔ. However, even this action makes Hu Jingyi more optimistic, after all, in China, whether it is the ruler Beiyang or other local warlords, they all obtain development funds by oppressing the common people.
"Boss Gao, can someone from the Northeast Security Army woo you?" Hu Jingyi asked.
"Nope. Commander, what's wrong? Does the Northeast want to annex even us? Gao Jun said in surprise.
"This must be the case, otherwise the people in the Northeast will not trap us in the barracks." Cao Shiying shouted. He had just come from the army, and he felt very uncomfortable with the people from the Northeast Security Army who appeared outside the barracks, otherwise he would not have come to Hu Jingyi's mansion with Gao Jun like a burning ass. After all, it has always been Hu Jingyi who has been in contact with the Northeast. At present, the two of them want to know the specific situation between them and the Northeast.
"This is the condition given to me by the Northeast, take a look!" Hearing that the Northeast did not win over Gao Jun and Cao Shiying, Hu Jingyi said openly, after all, Gao Jun and Cao Shiying are his descendants.
"Brigadier Commander? Civil Affairs Chief? Gao Jun said in surprise.
"Regiment commander, I think you are still the brigade commander, after all, in these years, there is everything with the army!" Cao Shiying said.
Hu Jingyi shook his head with a wry smile and said, "How can things be as simple as you think. Although the brigade commanders of the Northeast Security Army are also considered to be high-ranking and powerful, the Northeast Security Army is different from other units in the country in that they implement a two-officer system within them. In addition to the military governor, there is also a political governor, and in times of war, the military governor is in charge of everything. But in peacetime, there are many things that the military chief has to obey the political chief. As a result of this situation, the entire northeastern army belonged to only one person. That is Feng Yong, the young marshal of the Northeast. ”
"Otherwise, choose the civil governor of Shaanxi, although he is not the governor officially appointed by the Republic of China, but now Beiyang is too busy to take care of himself, and the actual province is in power. Although the Northeast is nominally subordinate to Beiyang, it has been able to compete with Beiyang in terms of strength. Even the Northeast has an advantage in terms of strength. Now you are the civil affairs governor of Shaanxi, and you may become the governor of Shaanxi one day. And I heard that although the Northeast Feng Shaomaro is not very old, he is very bold in employing people, not looking at age, only looking at ability, and being able to promote people with outstanding ability, as long as the regiment commander shows his ability, he will definitely be reused. Gao Jun said calmly.
"Lao Gao, if the head of the regiment becomes the chief of civil affairs, what will we do with these old brothers? In the current form, people only take a fancy to the head of the regiment, and you and I are not reused, and you are considered a cultural person, even if you follow the head of the regiment, you can still play a role. My old Cao Ke doesn't know anything, and I can still lead troops to kill enemies in the army, but I am nothing without the army. So, I'm never going to leave the army. Commander, for your sake, brothers, don't leave the army. Since Lao Gao said that Young Marshal Feng in the Northeast uses people to see his ability, the regiment commander, you are very outstanding in commanding troops, and you are also a person who has stayed abroad, even if you join the Northeast Security Army, you will be valued. And why bother to be the civil governor of those unfamiliar people? Cao Shiying said.
"Lao Cao, you can't say that, the head of the regiment is dedicated to the sake of the people of Shaanxi, who knows whether the ruling policy in the northeast is suitable for the current situation in Shaanxi, if the contradiction is intensified and a catastrophe is caused, it will be a catastrophe for the local people, we can't let Shaanxi just get rid of Chen Shufan's demon grasp, and then fall into an even more catastrophic abyss."
"Boss Gao, it is still unknown whether the civil chief you are talking about has all the power in Shaanxi. If this civil governor is just a front, a puppet who implements the Northeast policy. Why should the regimental commander, who has no soldiers and no power, resist the reactionary rule of the Northeast? The regimental commander who lost the army did not even have the last chance to resist. Cao Shiying said dissatisfiedly. He knew that high-ranking officers like Hu Jingyi would stay in the army, and they would be able to develop. If there is no leadership from Hu Jingyi. It is difficult for the generals of the Qin army who have been incorporated to come out on top. Although Cao Shiying is impulsive, it doesn't mean that he is a fool, he knows that only Hu Jingyi, who is valued by Young Marshal Feng, stays in the army, can they have a bright future for their winged people. So Cao Shiying tried his best to persuade Hu Jingyi to stay in the army.
"This ......" Gao Jun didn't know what to say. This civil chief is not the establishment recognized by Beiyang zhèng fǔ, if it is really just a pretense, then he will harm Hu Jingyi. Therefore, the choice of this matter can only be handed over to Hu Jingyi himself.
