Chapter 63 Release

After Duan Qirui thought about it, he asked Xu Shuzheng to discuss with the War Department and hand over an agenda, and then report to Yuan Shikai, saying that this person was credible, and the War Department unanimously decided to agree to go north through Guò Wang Maoru. But Wang Maoru's official position is too small, and now he is only a colonel officer, I am afraid that he will not be able to be an envoy to Hulunbuir. I probably felt that Wang Maoru was dead, and he made a contribution to the Beiyang Army Air Force, because in addition to the free contribution of 10 planes by the flight team, the skeleton of another 10 planes was also built, and with only a small investment, the War Department Air Force could be turned into an aviation reconnaissance brigade, so Wang Maoru's promotion to general was recognized, and Wang Maoru's promotion was not hindered.

A few days later, the War Department issued an order that the flight brigade of the Ministry of Communications was merged into the Beiyang Army Air Force of the Beijing War Department, and the planes were transferred to Nanyuan Airport in Beijing. The Garrison Brigade of the Flying Corps directly under the Ministry of War went to Henan and was incorporated into the newly established Third Mixed Brigade. Wang Maoru, the captain of the garrison brigade, was promoted to lieutenant colonel, and after a few days, the War Department, which had suffered the benefits, gave Wang Maoru a promotion, saying that Wang Maoru had made a meritorious contribution to the eradication of the Bailang bandit army, and had contributed 20 domestically produced planes to the military department for two meritorious deeds, two meritorious achievements, and was promoted to the rank of major general of the Beiyang Government Army, which was only two levels lower than Xu Shuzheng.

Subsequently, Yuan Shikai appointed Wang Maoru and served as the military envoy of the Hulunbuir area of Heilongjiang Province on the grounds that Wang Maoru, a major general officer of the Ministry of the Army, was interested in going to Hulunbuir to replace the local border army, rejecting Tsarist Russia in the north, rejecting Kulun in Outer Mongolia in the west, and rejecting the Manchurian army in the south, and safeguarding the unification of the motherland. In June of the third year of the Republic of China, the 17th Mixed Brigade of the Border Army was formed in Huairou County, Zhili Province, with Wang Maoru as the brigade commander and directly under the Central Army Department. Because Wang Maoru belonged to Yuan Keding's faction, Xu Shuzheng only gave him a title, and he didn't even send an officer.

There are no soldiers and no generals under his command, and Wang Maoru is estimated to be sent to death when he goes to Hulunbuir. Wang Maoru then went to the War Department again, asked to see Xu Shuzheng, and asked some officers, but Xu Shuzheng was too lazy to pay attention to him, and asked his assistant to assign a few officers to the Army University to him. Subsequently, people from the War Department came again, saying that other Beiyang generals criticized that the unit stationed in the border area might not be able to use the 17th mixed brigade and change it to the 11th garrison brigade of the border army. Wang Maoru didn't know the difference between the two at first, and then when Jiang Fangzhen came to congratulate him, he said the difference between the two, the mixed brigade is a special establishment of the Beiyang government, because there is no legal establishment constraints, the composition of the mixed brigade is also different. Generally speaking, the brigade has 2 to 3 infantry regiments, 1 company to 1 battalion of cavalry, 1 to 1 battalion of artillery, and 1 company of engineers and baggage troops. The smaller ones have 3,000 soldiers and horses, and the more ones have more than 10,000 troops, such as Feng Yuxiang's 16th Mixed Brigade, which is the size of an army division. The garrison brigade has only a battalion-level establishment, with three to four infantry battalions and one or two cavalry companies, because it only has the responsibility of garrisoning, and there is no artillery and other troops, and it is subject to the joint restrictions of the provincial superintendent and the army department.

Wang Maoru was angry, he can really trick people, Jiang Fangzhen analyzed: "This move must be resisted by Zhu Qinglan, the overseer of Heilongjiang, and his subordinates, especially Xu Lanzhou, the commander of the Heilongjiang Army Division, who was born in the old army, and will definitely oppose the Central Army to shoot the mixed brigade to the north." Seeing that Wang Maoru was angry, he said: "You don't have to be too angry, it's really that your promotion is too fast, and now you are at the same level as me, which of the Beiyang generals can get used to it?" To put it mildly, if you hadn't clinged to Yuan Keding, I am afraid that if you had to be promoted to colonel, it would have been ten years later. Wang Maoru agrees with this, perhaps because of his attachment to Yuan Keding, he has risen rapidly, but he has also lost a lot, and Tang Baoqi has also returned to Tianjin in recent days.

Thinking of Tang Baoqi, his expression darkened, he was anxious for quick success, and he also made himself vulgar in Tang Baoqi's heart. It is said that the Tang family is already preparing to find her a son-in-law, and it seems that her first love is about to die. Soon, he shook his head, forgot about this unnecessary trouble, and said, "Brother Baili, now I have no soldiers and no generals, and I need Brother Tai to help me." ”

Jiang Fangzhen laughed and said, "I knew you wanted to pull me into the water now." Seeing that he thought he had agreed, he casually struck again: "But I can't go, the Baoding Military Academy was a mess, and now he is the president of the Army University and the chief of staff of the model regiment. ”

Wang Maoru said: "He will definitely not let go, hehe." ”

The two talked for a while, and Jiang Fangzhen was about to resign and come to the door. Jiang Fangzhen suddenly asked: "Xiusheng is good friends with the eldest prince, does he support the imperial system?" Wang Maoru knew that Jiang Fangzhen was very unsupportive of the imperial system, he and Cai Ye were close friends, and they were both people who strongly opposed the imperial system, and even Cai Ye later opposed Yuan Jiang Fangzhen and gave up the glory and wealth of Beijing and went south to pursue Cai Yi. Wang Maoru said: "China is very good now, the big presidential system is much stronger than the imperial system, and the country needs a Washington, not a Wang Mang." Jiang Fangzhen laughed and left.

Early the next morning, Li Pinxian and more than a dozen old friends of the model group came to congratulate Wang Maoru, Wang Maoru joked: "Now you are happier than me, I am about to go north to suffer, but you are in this flowery capital, are you here to mock me?" ”

Several people looked bitter, but Fei Chaogui said: "Instructor Wang doesn't know, after you left, a few of us have suffered a lot, so we will wait for half a year to graduate and return to the army, and we will not be angry with that guy." Wang Maoru hurriedly asked who gave them anger, and the youngest He An said calmly: "Who else can there be, it's not that Tan Baiyan." "Tan Bai's face is Tan Jiapei's nickname, the previous impeachment of Wang Maoru for plotting against private officers, and Wang Maoru lost his position as the head of the General Affairs Section of the Model Regiment, but because of the impeachment of Shangguan, he was transferred from the Model Regiment, why did he make them angry again? Seeing that Wang Maoru was very puzzled, Li Pinxian said: "Tan Baimian is back this time, and he has been promoted by one level, and now he is a major, serving as the head of the Model Regiment Discipline Section, and inspecting military appearance and military discipline." This time, he intensified his efforts, picking on us officers from poor backgrounds to embarrass them, those who had a backstage, he didn't dare to offend at all, he didn't correct his mistakes, hummed ......"

He Anding said: "Mi Shaobai was punished for cleaning the toilet for half a year because he talked back to him. On the side, Mi Shaobai was angry, he was from the baggage department, it stands to reason that the people in the baggage department are more honest, but he didn't expect to be punished, Mi Shaobai is from Shaanxi, and the mantra of a bird ball is punished by Tan Jiapei because of this, so that now Mi Shaobai doesn't dare to speak.

Wang Maoru shook his head and smiled bitterly when he heard this, and suddenly asked: "By the way, there is a shortage of officers on my side, so why don't I ask the War Department for instructions and drop you." ”

Li Pinxian waved his hand and said, "Instructor Wang, don't do this, there is no evidence for Tan Jiapei to impeach you for a private alliance officer last time." If you transfer us over to help you this time, this little white face will definitely impeach you again. ”
