Gu Baoyu also knew the important surname of Pighead Mountain, so he not only lined up one of his original teams, but also sent two other teams of recruits to support. But in the several night attacks launched by the national army last night, the scale was not small, nearly half of Gu Baoyu's men were recruits, these recruits didn't even have many new guns, they were all some single-shot old guns, and even front-loading guns, such troops were okay at first, but when there were casualties one after another, they couldn't hold on, so Gu Baoyu had to transfer a team from Pig's Head Mountain back to the frontal defense line.

And when the next day was not yet dark, Gu Baoyu, who had not slept all night, heard the rumbling cannon, listening to this cannon, he knew that the national army must have a 75-mm cannon in his hand, and he was anxious, so he hurriedly sent someone to Pig's Head Mountain to inspect the casualties.

When the sky was slightly bright, the people who went to check the situation on Pig's Head Mountain finally hurriedly ran back: "My lord, the brothers on Pig's Head Mountain have suffered a lot of casualties, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on!" ”

Hearing this news, Gu Baoyu's face was full of black lines!

In the shelling before dawn, Pig's Head Mountain was killed by at least more than ten people and injured more than fifty people, and more recruits saw a large-scale panic after the shelling.

But before Gu Baoyu could send reinforcements, Lin Feitai had already given the order to attack! After the strength of one company was dispersed, the charge began under the cover of two heavy machine guns and rifle fire in the rear, and when the defenders on Pig's Head Hill hurriedly counterattacked, the company of the Nationalist Army quickly retreated, which was only a tentative attack.

Soon, heavy machine guns and artillery began to shoot at the place where the enemy fire was dense just now!

"Regiment commander, I see that the enemy's firepower is not very strong, at most there is only about one company! Let's see if it's a general offensive! Immediately, someone had already suggested that Lin Feitai launch a general offensive.

However, Lin Feitai did not adopt this suggestion, but launched three tentative attacks with a small charge, and only after finding out the weaknesses of the enemy's defense line did he order a general attack.

As Lin Feitai's order was given, a battalion of troops quickly deployed, and then quickly charged forward! Although the defense line of Pig's Head Mountain was strong, the defenders had few troops and low morale, and there was no possibility of blocking a battalion's charge at all.

In this regard, Lin Feitai smiled, speaking of which, this was the first time he commanded such a large-scale battle, so he was cautious, cautious and cautious when commanding, and now he successfully captured Pig's Head Mountain with less than 100 casualties, which made him feel a lot more relieved.

After the loss of Pig's Head Mountain, Gu Baoyu originally wanted to command his subordinates to recapture it, but at this time, the first regiment on the frontal front also launched a diversion attack on them, which made it impossible for him to draw out his troops at all.

By noon, Gu Baoyu's defense line was already full of holes!

"My lord, let's surrender! This is the surname of more than a thousand brothers! Faced with such a corrupt situation in the war, the officers began to persuade Gu Baoyu to surrender.

Gu Baoyu was also conflicted in his heart, although he was unwilling to surrender in his heart, but he also understood that he couldn't fight this fight, but if he surrendered, how could Ma Cheng treat himself? Can you continue to lead troops like Chen Chen?

Just when Gu Baoyu was hesitating about the gains and losses, several officers around him glanced at each other, they all pulled out their pistols, and after a few gunshots, Gu Baoyu was killed by his subordinates in hesitation, and then, the Fuding Qing army raised a white flag and surrendered.

"Okay, today is a war, and the northeast of Fujian has been decided!" Ma Cheng was extremely happy: "Quick, send a report to the governor immediately, just say that our department is fortunate to have conquered Fuding, and ask for the next step!" ”

Turning around, he said to Lin Feitai again: "Feitai has made great efforts in this battle, and I will personally ask for credit for you!" ”

When he received the news of conquering Fuding, Chen Jingyun was having lunch with An Hualin in the Governor's Mansion, and when the herald read out the good news, An Hualin on the side smiled: "General Ma is worthy of being the Governor's confidant, and if Fuding is down, the northeast coast of Fujian will be all down, and even Wenzhou will be in the morning and night!" ”

Chen Jingyun had a smile on his face: "Ma Cheng is a person, his ability is still there!" Then he said to the herald behind him: "Call Ma Cheng, promote Ma to become colonel, Lin Feitai is lieutenant colonel, and the meritorious officers and soldiers of the rest of the departments let them report and reward them according to their merits!" And ordered the 1st Brigade to deploy in Funing to eliminate local bandits and other illegal forces! ”

The military ranks in the national army were changed by Lin Wenying and other people from the Ministry of Military Affairs, and there were military uniforms, epaulettes, etc. In terms of military ranks, the main thing is to replace the former orthodox leaders and co-commanders with colonels, majors, and lieutenants at all levels, and this set of military ranks will be carried out when the three brigades and one regiment are being trained, and the military ranks of the existing officers are mainly matched with military ranks; Chen Jingyun considers himself a major general, Lin Zhaomin and Feng Qin are colonels, the three brigade commanders are lieutenant colonels, the deputy brigade commanders, regiment commanders, and several chief officers in the headquarters are majors, the deputy regiment commanders and battalion commanders are captains, the company commanders and deputy battalion commanders are lieutenants, the platoon commanders and deputy company commanders are second lieutenants, the squad leaders are sergeants, and the deputy squad leaders are corporals, the former combat soldiers were first class, the auxiliaries were second class, and the new recruits were privates.

Of course, the above rules are only for the existing military ranks, and the award of titles such as the promotion of officers in the future is another set of rules, for example, the position of brigade commander, the standard is colonel, but major generals can also be. The standard for the position of regiment commander is a lieutenant colonel, but a colonel can also be. In contrast, the current ranks of the national army are generally low, which is mainly for the sake of future promotion, after all, there will be many wars in the foreseeable future, and if the military rank is given too high now, it will not be easy to be promoted in the future. Non-commissioned officers also have sergeant, sergeant, corporal, and third grades, but considering the future promotion of soldiers, only the squad leader is given to the sergeant, and the deputy squad leader is given to the corporal.

By the time the Nationalist Army has leveled down other Qing troops in Fujian, it will almost be able to raise the ranks of officers and non-commissioned officers to a normal level.

Even so, Ma Cheng and other senior officers have been promoted compared to before, for example, Lin Feitai, who used to be an officer in the team, is just a full military academy, which is equivalent to a captain's military academy, and he got the rank of major when he was awarded the rank of the third brigade.

"Now that the Northeast has been calmed down, the tax reform of the Ministry of Finance must also cover the corresponding control areas as soon as possible!" Chen Jingyun instructed An Hualin: "Now Yuan Fang in the south is about to arrive in Quanzhou, and Li Jimin in the north is about to arrive in Yanping Mansion, and the local political axe in these areas is naturally presided over by Mr. Zheng of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but the tax is a matter of your Ministry of Finance, and you can't relax!" ”

An Hualin hurriedly said: "Governor rest assured, the tax reform is currently progressing steadily, and it has been preliminarily completed near Fuzhou, and now I am ready to go to other areas!" ”

"Oh, it looks like you've got a head start!" Chen Jingyun admires Anwarin's way of doing things, he can take the initiative to do it without urging himself, including cleaning up the wealth of the former Qing elites, tax reform, issuing paper money, etc., compared to other people in the military and political axes, there is no diligence, although Zheng Zuyin takes care of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but he stays in the house every day to contact a group of members of the Advisory Bureau, and begins to gradually break away from the people of the Alliance, saying that he is preparing to organize a provincial council and realize parliamentary politics. And Lin Wenying, the chief of the Ministry of Military Affairs, who was vacated by Chen Jingyun, saw the people of the alliance every day, and the alliance headed by him found Chen Jingyun from time to time and said that he wanted to go on a northern expedition! We must support the revolution in Jiangxi, the revolution in Zhejiang, and the revolution in Hubei!

When Chen Jingyun asked them where the money came from and where the ordnance came from, they were dumbfounded!

And the other group of people in the military and political axe, such as Hong Zitai of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, since receiving the task of printing copper dollars, has not seen his people for several days, according to the report of his subordinates, that person did not regard the printing of copper dollars as his own responsibility, but every day wearing the hat of the head of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce to worry about his own industry, Chen Jingyun has heard that he has annexed two small textile factories in only half a month, and the remaining foreign minister Lin Changming was originally brought by Zheng Zuyin, when the foreign minister was a little reluctant, revealed that he wanted to resign.

The other ministers and deputy ministers did not know what they were up to, and although they could occasionally see them, when they did, they could not find anything else to talk about except for office expenses.

In general, in the entire military and political axe, except for An Hualin, who was picked up by Chen Jingyun to follow him, the others either ate the goods and waited for death or did not have a good heart towards Chen Jingyun.

Chen Jingyun is not in a hurry about this, as long as he still holds the Ministry of Finance in his hand and has tens of thousands of troops, this military and political axe is dispensable in a short period of time, and in the future, when he is full-fledged, he can naturally control the military and political axe completely in his hands. For now, let them go!

After the two had eaten, An Hualin went out, and Chen Jingyun walked to the staff headquarters. For the convenience of his work, Chen Jingyun also set up the headquarters of the Fujian National Army in the Governor's Mansion, and at the same time, the staff headquarters, the equipment department, and the logistics department under the headquarters of the national army were located in nearby houses.

Seeing Chen Jingyun walk in, many officers and soldiers from the staff department were all standing in unison, and after Chen Jingyun saluted, he didn't stop, and went directly to Feng Qin's office.

At this time, Feng Qin was processing a large pile of documents in his hand, and when he saw Chen Jingyun enter his office, he immediately stood up: "Dudu, why are you here, if you want to see me, just give an order!" ”

Chen Jingyun waved his hand: "It's okay, you go to me, it's the same when I come to the staff, and it's not a few steps away!" ”

Chen Jingyun didn't sit down, and asked directly: "Where have Li Jimin and Yuan Fang gone?" ”

After hearing this, Feng Qin replied: "Li Jimin's Second Brigade came back yesterday with news that it has reached the periphery of Nanping!" But the news hasn't come back yet! Yuan's 3rd Brigade had reached Hui'an, and exchanged fire with Cao Chunfa's battalion stationed in Hui'an, and after defeating this battalion, Yuan had captured Hui'an and was now marching towards Quanzhou. ”

Although the large and medium-sized cities in Fujian have already laid up telegraphs, some small places still do not have telegraphs, and in areas where there is no telegraph, they can only use horses to transmit messages, and there is a great delay in going back and forth. However, military radios and other equipment are still rare in these years, and they are also large, all of which are installed on warships or attached to divisions and high-end things at the military level, Chen Jingyun can't afford to play with that kind of high-tech products for the time being, let alone Chen Jingyun, even the six towns of Beiyang don't have them on hand, and throughout China, only the navy is equipped with a few such high-end goods! ――
