The news of the defeat of the Beiyang Army in Jiangbei quickly spread widely, on the one hand, because of the circulation of the inherent information transmission channels, but more importantly, the Nanjing Republican Political Axe carried out timely and large-scale propaganda on the victory of Jiangbei.

According to the principle of reporting good news but not bad news, when the Fifth Mixed Brigade of the National Army suffered a crushing defeat in Mingguang, the National Army blocked the news from top to bottom, and not only did it spread to the outside world, but even the middle and lower-level officers within the National Army only suffered a certain defeat in the Fifth Mixed Brigade, but the specific losses were unknown, and the ordinary soldiers of the National Army did not know anything about it, let alone ordinary people. Although the Beiyang side also carried out a certain amount of propaganda on the so-called Mingguang Great Victory, the Beiyang Army did not have a complete propaganda department like the Nanjing Republican Political Axe and had news censorship and other means to control the media in the jurisdiction, so Beiyang rarely took the initiative to carry out large-scale propaganda on the war, and some were only limited to internal reports of the Beiyang Army.

In addition to publicizing the great martial arts of the National Army, the more important thing is naturally to enhance the people's support for the Nanjing Republican Political Axe, in order to enhance the people's support for Chen Jingyun personally, and it is hoped that the national army's successive victories will be used to obtain more support from the industrial and commercial class.

The Nationalist Army's continuous propaganda has expanded the propaganda of the victories on the front, so that the people in the areas ruled by the Nationalist Army have more confidence in the Nationalist Army and increase Chen Jingyun's confidence in reunifying China. First of all, the first point is that the number of conscripts to serve as soldiers has risen sharply during this period of time.

The soldier of this era is a profession, whether it is the National Army or the Beiyang Army, it is not a compulsory military system, but a conscription system, the National Army can not force the children of peasants to become soldiers, and it is even more impossible to do this kind of thing, not that Chen Jingyun does not want to make a compulsory military system, but because the ruling foundation of the National Army in the southern provinces is still extremely weak, and it is extremely rare to be able to centralize taxes and implement the separation of military and political affairs, and the control of the basic areas is not strong, so La Zhuangding, There is no such thing as forcibly apportioning and drawing money. In such a situation, in order to attract strong men to serve as soldiers, in addition to high military salaries and good food supplies, the victory of the national army is also crucial.

After all, many people are still very afraid of death, even if they can eat enough and have a high military salary, but many people are still hesitant to become soldiers, after all, it is now the war years, once you go to be a soldier, you will pin your head to the crotch of your pants, and you can lose your life at any time. Don't look at the fact that the National Army has only been established for more than two years, but the war is frequent, and the middle and senior officers are proud of the spring breeze and continue to be promoted, but one will become ten thousand bones, from the Fuzhou Uprising to the present, the cumulative number of casualties of the National Army is not 100,000 but also 50,000 or 60,000, last year's war in southern Jiangsu was 20,000 casualties, and in this year's Jiangbei Campaign, don't look at the various National Army units still maintain a general establishment, but the soldiers of some units have been replaced, Taking the Ninth Division, which is the absolute main force of the Nationalist Army, as an example, the cumulative casualties have been as high as more than 5,000 since the beginning of the Chaohu War, and the General Staff has successively replenished the Ninth Division with 4,000 recruits so that the Ninth Division can continue to maintain a complete establishment and combat effectiveness. The cumulative casualties of the Fifth Mixed Brigade in the past few months were as high as more than 4,000, and the Eighth Division also had 5,000 casualties.

Since July, the National Army has sent up to 60,000 recruits from the recruit training camps set up in the provinces to the various units, some of which have been filled by vacancies for the expansion of the four mixed brigades, and the rest have been used to replenish the combat losses of the units.

From the launch of the Wuhu River Crossing Campaign to the present, the Nationalist Army has suffered as many as 30,000 casualties on the battlefields of Anhui and Jiangsu provinces, and the proportion of casualties is quite high. Originally, there were not so many people killed on the spot, but because the Nationalist Army, like the Beiyang Army and even other warlord forces, had a very weak health system, although the Nationalist Army had done its best to provide treatment for the wounded soldiers, and the major hospitals including Nanjing, Shanghai, and Hangzhou were almost full of wounded soldiers, the survival rate of the wounded soldiers was still not high. After all, the rear hospital cannot provide timely treatment for the wounded soldiers on the front line, and the medical system of the national army unit itself is extremely weak, the army's doctors are basically only equipped to the battalion level, and even sometimes a battalion only has a few medicals who have been hastily trained, compared to the lack of doctors, more importantly, the lack of effective anti-infective drugs, but this is similar whether it is the national army or other armies of the powers, a large number of seriously injured soldiers are almost impossible to survive after being injured on the front line. Once infected, the death sentence was pronounced, and the mortality rate of wounded soldiers was high until antibiotics were invented.

Now that war is so dangerous, many people are reluctant to join the army, even if they have a high military salary.

When the Nationalist Army continued to achieve victories and defeated the main force of the Beiyang Army in the Jiangbei region, this played an excellent propaganda role in recruitment, because in people's concepts, the troops who won the battle naturally suffered few casualties, at least now no one knows or believes that even if the Nationalist Army defeated Beiyang in Jiangbei, but only look at the casualty ratio, at most it is two to one, if you add three divisions of the Anhui Provincial Army, this ratio will climb to three to one.

But people don't look at this, people know that the national army is now a big victory, and if you go to the army now, it will not be so dangerous, and it is much better to fight a good battle than to fight a hard war. Therefore, many people flocked to the recruitment station during this time, and after giving their families a settling-in allowance of 15 yuan, they walked into the recruit training camps set up by the National Army in various provinces.

In fact, the reason why the Beiyang Army suffered a crushing defeat to the Nationalist Army in the Jiangbei area was to a large extent because the troops could not be replenished in time after the loss of troops, and because there was no systematic training of recruits in the Beiyang Army, the replenishment of soldiers in each unit relied on their own recruitment, training, and salary, and when there was no war in peacetime, it was fortunate that they could have time to recruit and train, but in the event of a large-scale war, it was simply impossible for the troops to continue to recruit and train recruits when they were fighting fiercely on the front line. This delay in the replenishment of soldiers means that the more people fight, the fewer they will be. On the other hand, although the Nationalist Army's own casualties were not small, the main forces were always supplemented by new recruits who had undergone three months of training, and the continuous fighting did not make the troops fight less and less.

After the great victory of the Nationalist Army in Jiangbei was hyped up, a large number of people entered the recruitment station to serve as soldiers. In addition to ordinary soldiers, the Fuzhou Military Academy has also ushered in a boom in applying for examinations, and in addition to those highly conscious young people who have joined the army with ideals and Chinese review, some of them are looking for a way out. After all, although being an ordinary soldier is the life of cannon fodder in these years, ordinary soldiers and officers are two different things, whether it is an officer of the National Army or an officer in the Beiyang Army, they are basically successful people in today's society, and the monthly salary of hundreds of Chinese dollars is after the school officer, which is only the surface of the military salary, and the influence in the secret is greater, those generals are all characters who can make the local earthquake by stomping their feet, and more importantly, it is now during the war, and the size of the national army is getting bigger and bigger day by day. Judging from the promotion rate of graduates of the Fuzhou Military Academy in the past two years, they will become second lieutenants after three months of study, and there is no problem at all in being promoted to lieutenant within three months, and it is not difficult to be promoted to captain within one year. If you have military merits in the future, it is not difficult to be promoted to major or lieutenant colonel, even if you don't have great military merits and only rely on seniority, you can be a major in three or four years.

In fact, whether it is the Fuzhou Military Academy or the Baoding Military Academy in Beiyang, as long as these graduates don't die in battle, an officer who continues to work will not be able to run, and the general's words depend on luck, but the chances are also quite large.

Therefore, whether it is the pre-Qing Dynasty or the current civil war period, it is quite a hot thing to apply for a military academy and join the army. In the former Qing Dynasty, when the Army University was enrolled, there were enough thousands of people to apply for the examination, and there were only 100 people who were admitted.

On the one hand, the national army's hype about the great victory in Jiangbei allowed more people to become soldiers and more young people to apply for military academies, and it also played a greater role in urging the sales of the 'unified bond roll'. The combined sales of the Unified Bond Roll exceeded 2 million, and the sales of the Unified Bond exceeded 6 million in the following three days.

This amount is more than the sales of the whole of July, but the Ministry of Finance's Anwar Lin is happy, and if the unified bond can maintain such a sales momentum, then he can raise 50 million in a month. However, this kind of talk is just a fool's dream, the unification bond broke out in just three days, and the very important reason is because after the news of the victory in Jiangbei came out, many wealthy businessmen had greater confidence in the national army, and believed that Chen Jingyun could replace Yuan Shikai as the actual ruler of China. Most of these unified bonds sold in the past few days were bought by those rich people, and they were bought by hundreds of thousands of dollars at a time.

When this momentum passes, the unified bond will return to calm, and it will be good to be able to sell 6 million a month.

The enthusiastic response caused by the victory in Jiangbei represents the people's optimism about the Nationalist Army and Chen Jingyun, and many people are even looking forward to China's return to the top of the world under the leadership of Chen Jingyun, a young and powerful leader.

Chen Jingyun, who has strong expectations from the outside public, is actually happier than outsiders!

"It's been so long, and the situation has finally been set!" Chen Jingyun was in a very good mood at this time, since he found himself leaning over this body to Xinhai, he has always been seriously insecure, which can be seen from the fact that he has more personal guards than any warlord in the country. You must know that in addition to the personal guard of more than 400 people, an entire guard division can be regarded as Chen Jingyun's personal guard. After all, the middle and high-level officers of the guard division are almost all Chen Jingyun's relatives and friends, and the old army cannot be regarded as an ordinary army, there are nearly twenty children of the Chen family in the direct line, and the children of various in-laws such as the Yu family behind Chen Yu's family, Lin Chengkun's Lin family, and Lin Yun's mother's Lin family, the total number of people is forty or fifty, this is not an ordinary soldier but all officers, and the derogatory title of 'imperial relatives and relatives division' in the mouths of other national army generals does not come out of thin air!

In a popular sense, this model of troops will seriously affect the combat effectiveness of the troops, in short, there are a lot of disadvantages, and there is only one benefit, that is, the middle and senior officers of the guard division are Chen Jingyun's relatives and friends, so this guard division has far more personal loyalty to Chen Jingyun than other units of the national army.

He had always been afraid of assassination, of being rebelled by his men, of being defeated by other warlords. For more than two years, his nerves have been tight, the most feared is that the army he has high hopes for will be defeated under the Beiyang Army, he has never thought that he will win, he is very self-aware that he can rise in this troubled era, at the beginning by virtue of the identity of the senior officer of the new army, with the second battalion that he controlled at the beginning, that is the foundation of his start, but it is not a prophet as a later generation, without which he is no different from an ordinary person. At least he didn't think he would be better than Shen Gang militarily, nor did he think he would be better than Qian Hanlang or Zheng Zuyin in political strategy. His advantage is very simple and practical, that is, he has taken the lead and has been careful to maintain the original advantage until now, and then through various god-making movements, through the National Socialist Party continued to strengthen his power, so as to establish Chen Jingyun's irreplaceable absolute position in the national army today.
