readx; After Chen Jingyun's presidential train left Jinan, Shandong, it did not stop too much at various stations along the line, but went straight to Yanjing, and on May 29, Chen Jingyun's presidential train arrived in Yanjing smoothly. This time www.biquge.info the welcoming ceremonies organized by military and political dignitaries such as Zhili Province and Yanjing Special City were not wasted, and Chen Jingyun set foot on the land of Yanjing in a grand welcome ceremony.

That night, Chen Jingyun stayed in Jurentang in Zhongnanhai, that is, the Haiyan Hall built by Cixi in the former Qing Dynasty, and the office of Yuan Shikai in the Beiyang political axe era. Due to the special surname of Jurentang located in Zhongnanhai, after Li Jimin led his troops into Yanjing City, he did not worry about setting up the headquarters of the First Army in Jurentang, but chose another building in Zhongnanhai, so it was temporarily vacant, and soon Chen Jingyun ordered that he was about to tour the north, so Yanjing also cleaned up Jurentang and directly used it as Chen Jingyun's accommodation when he came to Yanjing.

Chen Jingyun did not rest early that night, but chatted with Li Jimin, the commander of the First Army, for more than two hours, during which most of them were Chen Jingyun listening, Li Jimin was talking, and what Li Jimin said was that in addition to personally reporting to Chen Jingyun some matters during the Northern Expedition, he paid more attention to some things after entering Yanjing City, including planning to drive Pu Yi out of the Forbidden City and carry out a large-scale purge of Yanjing City.

Chen Jingyun listened for a long time before he said: "You have done all this well, and you have not failed to live up to my trust in you!" Chen Jingyun said lightly, and Li Jimin on the side also showed joy when he heard it.

"Speaking of which, you are also an old man who started with me during the Fuzhou Uprising, and you also made great contributions during the Northern Expedition. You are the second to be promoted to general in this group of people, and you know the weight of it. In the future, I will continue to set an example for those below! Chen Jingyun continued: "You were on the front line when the title was conferred last time, and you could only hurry things by telegram! But now that I've come to Yanjing, I'm naturally going to make up for this award ceremony for you! ”

When Li Jimin heard this, his face was overjoyed! In the national army system, there has always been a ceremony for awarding titles, generally speaking, the ceremony of awarding titles above the rank of general is presided over by Chen Jingyun himself, although this kind of awarding ceremony is only limited to the army, and there will not be many people who participate, but this is a great honor for an officer. And not everyone can have a title ceremony when they are promoted, most of the generals in the Northern Expedition are on the front line, and when the front-line war is tense, it is impossible for those generals to travel thousands of miles back to Nanjing to let Chen Jingyun confer titles on them, and it is also impossible for Chen Jingyun to personally go to the front line to hold a title ceremony for them.

Therefore, when Li Jimin was promoted to general, there was no relevant award ceremony, only a telegram from Chen Jingyun, although this did not affect anything, but for Li Jimin personally, he always held a regret in his heart.

You must know that when Shen Gang was awarded the title of general, Chen Jingyun personally put on the epaulettes of a general in the congratulations of a large group of generals, and Li Jimin was one of those congratulatory people at that time, and he was only a lieutenant general at that time, and he also hoped that he would get the same treatment when he was promoted to general.

Now Chen Jingyun personally said that he would make up for him with a title ceremony, which made Li Jimin naturally happy! Li Jimin has climbed to the point where he is today, and it is almost impossible to take a step forward in his authority, and if he can be promoted in the next step, it is nothing more than the position of chief of staff, but looking at Shen Gang's appearance, it is estimated that there is no hope in ten or eight years. Or after the Nationalist Army continued to expand, Chen Jingyun set up a higher-level command organization than the army, such as the group army, the front army, and other institutions, and assumed the post of commander when the time came, but the commander of the group army at that time did not have any essential change compared with the current army commander, and was only responsible for the war on one front. Replacing the six army commanders with the commanders of the six group armies will not change the essence of the matter, and in this case, all Li Jimin can pursue is honor.

In the process of the Northern Expedition, the First Army under his command won several great victories in a row, captured Bengbu, Xuzhou, Jinan and finally besieged Yanjing, and then although the Beiyang Army in Yanjing City took the initiative to surrender, no one can deny that if the Beiyang Army did not take the initiative to surrender at that time, then the First Army under the leadership of Li Jimin was sure to capture Yanjing. Li Jimin even reported in a battle report to the General Staff, saying that if the troops under his command launched an all-out attack, they would be able to completely capture Yanjing within 10 days to half a month.

From the battle of crossing the river in August last year to the present, the war that lasted for more than half a year has made many famous generals emerge in the national army, such as Xu Lishan, the commander of the Third Army, who was originally the commander of the Third Division, and moved Nanjing City with a great victory in Taizhou in the battle of crossing the river in southern Jiangsu, and Xu Lishan was quickly promoted to the commander of the Third Army by virtue of this merit. Another example is Zuo Yugang, the commander of the 91st Regiment of the former Ninth Division, who was just an ordinary lieutenant colonel before the Battle of Crossing the River, but was promoted to colonel in the Battle of Crossing the River, and in the subsequent Battle of Chaohu, he was ordered to lead the Ninth Division to break through the obstacles of the defenders of Chaohu, and finally saved the fate of the Fifth Mixed Brigade to be completely annihilated, and completely established the victory of the Battle of Chaohu, after which he became the commander of the Ninth Division. In the follow-up Northern Expedition operations, the Ninth Division under his command as the only unit of the National Army to carry out firepower expansion, has always been used as a fist force, almost whether it is the Jiangbei Campaign or the Bengbu Campaign or the Xuzhou Campaign, his Ninth Division has always served as the main attack task, although his command style is strong and strong and disgusted by Shen Gang and other stable generals, but this does not affect his outstanding achievements in the Northern Expedition War. And this military exploit has made him the only one who has been promoted from lieutenant colonel to major general and appointed as division commander in the battle of crossing the river, and some other generals who have been promoted to major general are all colonels, and the vast majority of those who can be promoted to division commander are army chief of staff, and the director of the department was originally a general at the level of major general.

But these people are a little insufficient compared to Li Jimin, before the battle of crossing the river, Li Jimin was the commander of the first division under the First Army, and was also the only lieutenant general division commander left in the National Army at that time, after Shen Gang was transferred to the General Staff Department as the commander-in-chief, he Li Jimin took over the position of commander of the First Army, and then he led the First Army to fight with the Beiyang Army in Chuzhou and the western region of Jiangbei for a long time, and then completely laid the victory of Jiangbei together with the Second Army, and then Chen Jingyun took the First Army as the main force of the Northern Expedition, and Li Jimin also led the troops all the way north, From northern Jiangsu to Shandong and then to Yanjing City, many officers under the First Army have made outstanding military achievements, and at the same time, Li Jimin's military exploits have also been highlighted.

And it was this feats that made Chen Jingyun promote him to general! This is also the second general in the national army system besides Shen Gang. Even in the entire Nanjing Republican Political Axe, plus Tang Jiyao, Lu Rongting, Yan Xishan, and Duan Qirui, the Beiyang bigwig who came over, there are only six generals in total!

This shows the weight of Li Jimin's rank of general!

The day after Chen Jingyun arrived in Yanjing, a small ceremony was held in the Juren Hall, and all the generals present were generals of the Nationalist Army at the rank of major general and above, while Li Jimin and the other two generals who were awarded the rank of major general were personally awarded the title by Chen Jingyun.

After awarding the titles to these three people, Chen Jingyun did not give a long speech, but tried to make himself appear more ordinary: "Now the rejuvenation of China has begun to see the dawn of victory, but now there are still many people at home and abroad who are trying to block our footsteps, and there are still countless obstacles on our way forward!" On the road of revival, I will continue to work hard with you! ”

On the third day after coming to Beijing, Chen Jingyun visited and inspected the National Yenching University and gave a speech, this time it was different from the previous emphasis on the National Socialist Party, emphasizing the superiority of the Chinese nation, but this time he did not involve politics and nationality at all in the speech at the National Yenching University, but delivered a speech on the topic of saving the country with knowledge and science and technology, calling on the vast number of Chinese young people to study for the rejuvenation of China!

Young students are always susceptible to similar words of encouragement, although this time Chen Jingyun did not say the Kuomintang Socialist Party, let alone the national superior surname that he has always propagated, but the four words of Chinese rejuvenation still ran through the audience!

The Ministry of Education also announced in a timely manner that next year the Ministry of Education will further increase capital investment, in addition to increasing the investment of Southeast University and Nanjing University, it will also make large-scale investment in the newly accepted Yenching University and Tianjin University, and strive to create four top comprehensive universities. In addition to these four key universities, the Ministry of Education will convert the original normal schools in the provinces into universities, and at the same time increase investment in higher secondary schools, primary schools and primary schools.

After Chen Jingyun held talks with the US Minister to China, the US side promised to give up the Gengzi indemnity, and this part of the money would be used for the funds of Southeast University and the expenses for Chinese students to study in the United States. As for the historical Tsinghua University, it has completely dissipated into the air, as early as a few years ago, when Chen Jingyun and the Americans set up an online, the Americans agreed to use the Gengzi indemnity for the construction costs of Southeast University, and Tsinghua University naturally did not have it.

With Chen Jingyun's speech at Yenching University, a trend of studying for revival gradually emerged! In the eyes of many old-fashioned gentry, the Kuomintang founded by Chen Jingyun is a person who has no ethics or morality, pays attention to the weak and the strong, and nakedly preaches that the Chinese nation is the best race and has the right to infringe on other nationalities, and pays attention to using iron and blood to seek space for the survival of the Chinese nation. While this radical concept has been sought after by many young people, it has made many middle-aged and elderly people disgusted, and now the National Socialist Party represented by Chen Jingyun has made a look of rejuvenating the country through education and rejuvenating the country through industry and commerce, which naturally makes many gentry feel comforted.
