Duan Qirui is most concerned about the establishment of the troops, although Chen Jingyun also made a promise when he talked in private, but he couldn't rest assured if he didn't formally reach an agreement. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info..

Xu Shuzheng said: "In terms of troops, the south also gave us the establishment of two divisions in accordance with the promise, following the example of the 16th Division, senior officers can be retained, and middle and low-level officers can be transferred to other units of the National Army to serve in their original ranks. The establishment of these two divisions is the 27th Division and the 28th Division, and when the time comes, I will be the commander of the 27th Division, and Brother He will be the commander of the 28th Division! ”

At this time, He Zonglian, who had not spoken for a long time, heard that he had been appointed as the new commander of the 28th Division, although he had expected this, but his face still showed joy. After He Zonglian led the first division to fight south, the first division lost more than half, and finally fled north when he fought a few small battles with the Nationalist Army in Shandong, and the losses were even greater, and when he led more than 3,000 remnants of the army to retreat to Zhili, his first division was integrated with other parts of the remnants of the Beiyang Army to form the 14th Division, and He Zonglian became the commander of the 14th Division. This period of Qirui wants to lead his troops to mutiny, and he has to contact He Zonglian. Although He Zonglian had concerns, when he heard that the old man had already driven the crane west, he also followed Duan Qirui to launch a mutiny, without He Zonglian's strong cooperation, the more than 4,000 people of Xu Shuzheng's 11th Division who obeyed Duan Qirui's orders alone would never be able to control the situation in Yanjing City.

Now that he heard that he had been appointed as the commander of the 28th Division, He Zonglian's worries were put down.

Duan Qirui said at this time: "That's good, with the establishment of these two divisions, it can be regarded as preserving the seeds of Beiyang!" ”

Xu Shuzheng also nodded and said: "When we talked this time, although we joined the national army system as a whole, instead of maintaining the state of reading autonomy like the Dian army, the Gui army and even the Jin army, but in this way, we don't have to worry about the military expenses and ordnance!" ”

He Zonglian also smiled at this time: "This is true, the system in the south is different from our old Beiyang, their troops are all paid by the logistics department, not only the ordnance is uniformly supplemented, and even the soldiers are trained in the rear and sent to the troops!" ”

"Although there is no autonomy in this way, they have promised to give us the treatment of the regular troops of these two divisions, and when the time comes, they will never be inferior to other field units of the National Army in terms of ordnance and military salaries! At this point, Yan Xishan, who threw himself into Chen Jingyun's arms some time ago, can't get this kind of treatment! Xu Shuzheng said.

However, He Zonglian also said: "But they have managed to keep their territory!" ”

Duan Qirui was disdainful: "Hmph, keep the territory? Hundreds of thousands of our troops in Beiyang have not been able to stop the attack of the Nationalist Army, do you think that you can resist the Nationalist Army with just one province of Shanxi? I think that Yan Xishan said that it was good to hand over the army earlier, if it was too late, maybe it would end worse than us at that time! ”

Xu Shuzheng suddenly said at this time: "Now we are already surrendering, but will Chen Jingyun let them fight Yan Xishan and treat us as cannon fodder?" ”

Hearing Xu Shuzheng's words, Duan Qirui also looked worried, and said after a while: "This kind of thing is estimated to be unavoidable, but don't worry too much, even if you go to fight, can it be that with the tens of thousands of provincial troops in Shanxi, you can still stop us old Beiyang?" At that time, as long as we do a good job and give Shanxi to Chen Jingyun, we don't have to worry that he will embarrass us old Beiyang everywhere in the future. ”

Xu Shuzheng also felt when he heard it, even if Chen Jingyun used them as cannon fodder, it still depended on who the opponent was. The Shanxi Provincial Army under Yan Xishan is not a national army, although he Xu Shuzheng was defeated by the National Army, but if the opponent is replaced by other local warlords, Xu Shuzheng has never been afraid of anything, not even much, he only needs to bring more than 10,000 people from his headquarters into Shanxi at that time It is enough to destroy Yan Xishan's Jin army.

After a period of secret discussion, even if the Beiyang Army formally accepted these conditions proposed by the Nationalist Army, the Beiyang Army began to withdraw from the front line, and the Nationalist Army quickly took over the position of the Beiyang Army.

On the morning of the 16th, a regiment of the Ninth Division of the Nationalist Army entered Yanjing City, thus officially announcing that Yanjing City was taken over by the Nationalist Army. The Beiyang troops in the city were reorganized into two divisions, and the remnants of the original Beiyang 11th Division and the 13th Division and part of the 12th Division formed the 27th Division of the National Army. Some of the troops of the former Beiyang 12th Division and the 14th Division formed the 28th Division of the National Army. And these original Beiyang Army have now become national army units, and they are still wearing the blue-gray military uniforms of the Beiyang Army, but those middle and senior officers are wearing the uniforms of the national army one by one, and Duan Qirui, Xu Shuzheng and He Zonglian are taking a large number of Beiyang officers to welcome the arrival of Li Jimin, the commander of the First Army of the National Army.

Li Jimin was dressed in the dress of a general of the National Army, the three gold stars on the epaulettes were shining, and he wore a silver double sword medal on his left chest. Unlike other armies or other warlord troops, the National Army's medals are only one of three levels, and there are no so-called commemorative medals or service medals or the like, so most of the soldiers have empty left chests, and only a very small number of soldiers have a double sword medal on their left chest.

Among them, the vast majority of soldiers are bronze double-sword medals, this kind of bronze medals for the whole army and only for the brave deeds of soldiers are issued more, nearly 10,000 have been issued in the past two years, this kind of medal is easy for soldiers to obtain, but it is difficult for officers to obtain, because the first condition of the bronze medal is bravery, and then it is meritorious service. It is easy for officers to make meritorious contributions, but it is extremely difficult to show bravery, because in the national army, it is strictly forbidden for officers above the battalion level to lead the charge, and the personal heroism of middle and high-ranking officers is seriously criticized. Therefore, usually officers will receive the Silver Double Sword Medal if they make meritorious service, and there are not many who can get the Bronze Double Sword Medal. As for the higher level of the Golden Double Sword Medal, it also belongs to the whole army, but so far only five or six people have obtained it, and most of them are middle and low-ranking officers. As for the generals in the national army, there are no longer a few who lead the troops to fight and make meritorious contributions, and most of them can get a silver double sword medal, but there is no one in the gold double sword medal.

Li Jimin wore a full set of national army general dresses, walked in front of Duan Qirui with white gloves and a command knife, and then smiled and prepared to accept the congratulations of Duan Qirui's defeated generals!

This feeling makes him feel good!

And today, there are many people who are as happy and happy as Li Jimin, Chen Jingyun personally announced the news of the capture of Yanjing City in the temporary enlarged military meeting, and then many officers of the National Army below cheered, looking at the cheers of his subordinates, Chen Jingyun also got a great sense of satisfaction in his heart: "Let the people in the propaganda department quickly announce the news, I want the whole country to know that Beiyang as a military and political group has been eliminated, and China has achieved preliminary reunification!" ”

In fact, there was no need for Chen Jingyun's orders, as soon as the propaganda organs of the Nationalist Army got the news, they were ready to make a big deal about it, and this was more important news than the occupation of Jiangbei and Xuzhou.

"Extra! Extra! Our army conquered Yanjing City, and Yuan Shikai committed suicide in defeat! The newsboy waved the newspaper in his hand, and then just shouted, and the people around him handed over the copper plate or the paper ticket of Huaxia Bank: "Give me a copy!" ”

In the excited shouts of the newsboy, the newspaper in his arms was sold out immediately, and then he immediately ran back in straw sandals to get another batch of newspapers to sell, and his face was full of joy when he ran: "It would be good if the newspaper sold so well every day, maybe I would be able to save enough money for my mother's treatment soon!" ”

In a small teahouse, several young people sat together, some of them were wearing new-style suits, some were wearing old-fashioned robes and horse coats, and these people also took turns to wear and look at the newspaper in their hands.

This number was obviously printed in a hurry, and it was not ironed, and it would be stained with ink in his hand, but these young people obviously didn't notice the ink marks in their hands, and one of them was wearing a cyan robe and horse coat and said: "This national army is really good at fighting, and it has already taken this world-class city in just a few days to attack Yanjing!" ”

At this time, a young man in a gray and white horse coat said: "Yes, if it weren't for the fact that the National Army was so capable of fighting, and he was afraid of the Beiyang Army all the way north, how could he Duan Qirui and Li Yuanhong surrender easily!" ”

"But this newspaper said that Yuan Shikai committed suicide in defeat, which is a bit unlikely!" One of the people in a suit obviously didn't believe that Yuan Shikai would commit suicide.

Unexpectedly, a person next to him said: "I don't think I will commit suicide after defeat, but Yuan Shikai's death is genuine, but what this newspaper says is somewhat false!" ”

Immediately, the young man in the suit said: "Oh, Yuan Shikai is really dead, Brother Lin, you often walk around with the people in the political axe, have you heard any accurate news!" ”

The young man who was asked said: "Actually, this is not a secret, it is estimated that it will spread all over the past two days, I heard that Yuan Shikai was already seriously ill, and he died of illness two days ago!" Otherwise, if you think that Yuan Shikai is not dead, how dare Duan Qirui's group of people surrender! ”

The young man in the suit nodded: "That's right, but no matter what, it's best if he dies, now our national army is sweeping the world, the Beiyang Army is wiped out, the national unification is imminent, and it is not far from the revival of China in Chen Dashuai's mouth!" ”

"This is a good point, the political situation is stable after the reunification of the country, and looking at Chen Dashuai's policy in the past few years, whether it is to support farmers or to inspire industry and commerce, he has spared no effort, and I will have a lot to do when the time comes!" The young man in the cyan coat raised his head at this time and said, "Brother Lin, I heard that you have received an invitation to work in the Southeast Iron and Steel Company, and I haven't had time to congratulate you just when I came back!" ”

The young man in a suit surnamed Lin smiled and said, "This is true, but I haven't decided at this time!" ”

"This also needs to be considered, the Southeast Iron and Steel Company is China's first-class large enterprise, and is in the process of setting up a joint venture with the United States, and it is reported that the two sides have jointly invested tens of millions of dollars. If they invite me to take up a post, I will immediately quit my current job and go to Southeast Steel! The young man in the gray coat said.

The young man surnamed Lin said: "What you said is that you are in your own family business, and you are much better than those of us who work for others." Besides, if you really want to resign and quit, Ling Zun is afraid that you will not be at ease! ”

The young man in the gray coat said: "Don't worry about anything, my family is not my son, and a group of people behind me are staring at the old man's foundation!" ”

These friends also know some things about the young man in the gray coat, and he knows that he is not easy to come from a big family, and his life is not as chic as outsiders imagine, and the young man surnamed Lin immediately turned to other topics. This group of young people talked about political current affairs in addition to the wind and snow, one would talk about the land reform in Fujian and Zhejiang, and the next moment they would talk about whether it would be in Nanjing or Yanjing for the first time after reunification, and for a while they were talking about what they thought in their hearts and minds unscrupulously.
