Volume 4 The Battle of Unification Chapter 642 Phoenix Legion
Wang Maoru has just served as the chief of the army here, and he has served as the chief of sports over there, and Wang Maoru has become a busy man. Compared with serving as the chief of sports in a high-profile manner, although Wang Maoru handled the position of army chief in a low-key manner, the hearts of the government and warlords of the Republic of China were no less than setting off monstrous waves, and the era of Wang Xiusheng finally came.
At this time, in the Jiangsu Governor's Mansion in Hangzhou, Lu Yongxiang and Xu Shuzheng were speechless, and Wang Maoru's low-key election as army chief was a lively event for others, but it was a nerve-wracking event for Xu Shuzheng. Xu Shuzheng, the little fan military division, was extremely jealous in his heart, this Wang Maoru, who he had been fighting for nearly ten years, actually became the army chief like this, how could Xu Shuzheng be convinced. It's just that now it's not good to be convinced, Wang Maoru walked step by step and walked up successfully, while he Xu Shuzheng went lower and lower step by step, it is indeed a matter of comparing goods and throwing people to death.
In Hangzhou in October, the temperature has also begun to get colder, and it has already snowed in the northeast, and it is rare for a snow to fall in places such as Zhili in Beijing. "Again, what do you think?" Lu Yongxiang asked, he was thirteen years older than Xu Shuzheng, but Lu Yongxiang was not arrogant and domineering, and he had a three-point friendship with everyone who called him a brother. Xu Shuzheng is now the chief of the general staff of Zhejiang, relying on his talent to keep Zhejiang in order, and he has won Lu Yongxiang's trust.
The reason why Xu Shuzheng took refuge in Lu Yongxiang is precisely because he has a gentle personality and also belongs to the wall-riding faction in the Anhui system, but Lu Yongxiang also has the ambition to restore the glory of the Anhui system, but he does not have the ability and strength. Lu Yongxiang thought that with his own connections and Xu Shuzheng's ability. In the south of the Yangtze River, one acre of one-third of land can take Jiangsu in the north, swallow Anhui in the west, go south to Jiangxi, unite with Fujian, and achieve the hegemony of the five provinces in East China.
What Lu Yongxiang didn't do, Sun Chuanfang did it eight years later in history, but unfortunately Sun Chuanfang was still in Hubei at this time waiting to receive the reorganization of the National Defense Force, and he himself was also running up and down, whether to stay in the National Defense Force as a battalion commander or go to the armed police brigade as a regiment commander.
Wang Maoru didn't give Lu Yongxiang time, after the reorganization of the Jiangsu Army was completed. Next, it was the turn of Jiangxi and Anhui, and Li Houji, the overseer of Fujian, also telegraphed to receive the reorganization of the Central Committee and sent representatives to discuss the reorganization of the Fujian Army with the Central War Department. At this time, even though the Zhejiang Army had ambitions, looked around, except for the east...... To the east is the sea, and with the Coast Guard of the Republic of China Navy and Defense Force, it is even more unsafe to the east.
The two analyzed and analyzed that the current situation was extremely unfavorable to them, and it was difficult for them to accept the integration of the Wehrmacht in this way. At this time. The revolutionary government of the South came and secretly signaled that it must not defect to the Wehrmacht. Originally, Lu Yongxiang hated the Kuomintang to the core. Xu Shuzheng also gritted his teeth at it, but at this time, for his own interests, Lu Yongxiang secretly reached an agreement with the Southern Revolutionary Government and formed an alliance. The two families were not far apart, and there was a Fujian between them, and Lu Yongxiang was ready to make a move against Fujian, and urged the revolutionary government in the south to do the same, and divide Fujian equally.
However, just as Lu Yongxiang was secretly ordering troops to prepare to kill Fujian, Zhang Zuolin, who was in trouble with Wang Maoru, sent a telegram in Xi'an announcing that he had accepted the reorganization of the National Defense Forces. He also demanded that the property and land of all the officers under him be recognized and not confiscated, and that his officers should not be held accountable for anything, including those who had scolded Wang Maoru and those who had met with Jade Wang Maoru. Wang Maoru said that he would accept that he would not be held accountable, and announced the reorganization of the Northwest Army, which would be reorganized into two divisions, the 29th Division and the 30th Division. The 29th Division has the 82nd, 83rd, and 84th Infantry Brigades, and the 30th Division has the 85th Infantry Brigade. 86 Brigade Cavalry 87 Brigade.
The commander of the 29th Division was Sun Liechen, Zou Fen, chief of staff of the division, Zheng Diansheng, commander of the 82nd Brigade, Cai Pingben, commander of the 83rd Brigade, and Niu Yongfu, commander of the 84th Brigade. Subsequently, the 29th Division was ordered to be transferred to Beijing, and together with the 8th Division, it was stationed in Beijing and reorganized in Beijing.
The commander of the 30th Division was Wu Junsheng, the division chief of staff Ding Chao, the commander of the 85th Brigade Tang Yulin, the commander of the 86th Brigade Kan Chaoxi, the commander of the 87th Cavalry Brigade Wan Fulin, and the 30th Division was reorganized in Xi'an.
Zhang Zuolin, the leader of the Northwest Army, was reluctant to go to Beijing, fearing that Wang Maoru would be unfavorable to him, Wang Maoru laughed and announced the establishment of the Phoenix Regiment of the National Defense Army, with Zhang Zuolin serving as the commander of the Phoenix Legion, and the Phoenix Army was under the jurisdiction of Wu Junsheng of the 30th Division of the National Defense Army, Yan Xishan of the 27th Division, and Xiao Yao of the 28th Division. After the reorganization of the various ministries was completed, the troops were transferred and stationed in Wuhan, Hubei, and sat in the Central Plains.
Zhang Zuolin didn't expect Wang Maoru to divide his generals so loosely, his corps personnel structure is the most complicated, there are Shaanxi army, Jin army, direct army, Hubei army, and part of the Anhui army, it can really be described as a hodgepodge. Moreover, the Shaanxi army and the Jin army have just fought a war, and the two armies are still not dealing with each other, how can this be commanded?
The direct consequence of the Jin-Shaanxi War was that Shanxi lost its capital for hegemony, the Northwest Army lost and fell into a quagmire, and both sides were defeated. The feud is so deep, how can Yan Xishan, the commander of the 27th Division, accept this tone? Besides, not long after he defeated Zhang Zuolin, he wanted Zhang Zuolin to be his superior, how could Yan Xishan accept it, so he expressed his dissatisfaction. Wang Maoru hurriedly sent Zhang Kuian to appease Yan Xishan, and said to Yan Xishan that the Phoenix Legion seems to be powerful, but it is actually a mess quagmire, it depends on whether Zhang Zuolin can handle it, if it is not done well, you can impeach him and let him go into the wilderness. Xiushuai arranged it like this, just to let you do that meat thorn, so that Zhang Zuolin was always worried.
At this time, Yan Xishan was in a dilemma, he wanted to resign as a threat, but he was afraid that Wang Maoru would really allow him to resign. Wang Maoru couldn't do this, so he had no choice but to accept Wang Maoru's instructions and become Zhang Zuolin's subordinate. Not only was Yan Xishan awkward, but Zhang Zuolin also felt awkward, but when he thought that Yan Xishan, an old fox, was going to become his subordinate and be commanded by himself, he couldn't help but feel proud.
The time when the Northwest Army was reorganized was already in November of the ninth year of the Republic of China, and more than 2 million refugees from Henan, Shandong, and Zhili were all pulled down in the three provinces of Nurgan Province, Heilongjiang Province and Dongji Province. The land is sparsely populated, wild animals are abundant, and a large number of discarded guns have been given to refugees to hunt for the winter. At the same time, the discarded winter clothes of the Wehrmacht were distributed in large quantities to the victims to ensure that they were safe for the time being.
The Chinese nation is the most survivable race in the world, and the death toll of the three million refugees in the whole winter is no more than 100, which is enough to create a world miracle. In the cold northeast, in the outer Xing'an Mountains at minus 60 degrees, in the cellars and shacks, there are Chinese people who are full of hope for next year. In a year of great drought in summer, winter is bound to be a cold winter, which is an eternal truth. Not only did the temperature in northern China suddenly become extremely low at this time, but even the land of northern China became extremely cold. Compared with those people who were taken to the Outer Northeast by the National Defense Forces, the people who remained in North China and Central China lived a hard life.
However, this qiē is nothing to Wang Maoru, the north was initially determined, and there was no resistance north of the Yangtze River, so Wang Maoru also restored all the territory under Yuan Shikai in the early years of the Republic of China, and he did more thoroughly than Yuan Shikai in the outer northeast of Nuergan Province and Dongji Province, and in the outer northwest of Anxi Province and Taixi Province.
Wang Maoru sent a secret telegram to Zhang Zuolin in Xi'an, telling him that the Phoenix Army would assemble in Wuhan in May next year and attack Hunan in June to unify China. He also sent a secret telegram to Zhao Zengfu, ordering the Qilin Army to go south in June next year, forcing Lu Yongxiang, the overseer of Zhejiang, to accept the reorganization. However, the plan did not change quickly, and later due to an incident, the Qilin Army moved south ahead of schedule, and the Battle of Zhejiang, which was recovered by the Wehrmacht, occurred.
While Wang Maoru was preparing for the Eighth Army, the Tsarist Russian envoy came to Beijing, which also forced Wang Maoru to put down his official duties to deal with the Russian envoy. After all, their lovers and illegitimate children came, and more importantly, they came with the status of Russian princesses and crown princes.
The Russian princess and the crown prince did not arrive in China secretly, but with great fanfare, the Russian people in China flocked to Beijing, and actually spontaneously set up a crown prince guard in Beijing to protect the crown prince from being assassinated by Bolshevik spies. On the one hand, the Russians need the help of the Chinese, and on the other hand, the Russians still retain the chauvinist ideas of the Great Tsarist Russia, believing that Russia's difficulties are only temporary, and once the Bolshevik party is eliminated, Russia will once again become the gendarme of Europe.
But for the Russian princess Tatyana, the purpose of her visit to China is very complicated, she is not an ambitious woman, her character is somewhat weak, and even when Sakarina asked her son to be the crown prince, Tatyana did not know how to refuse. Becoming the crown prince is a noble position, but the responsibility is extremely heavy, Tajiyana is not a person who can withstand pressure, she only hopes to be able to escape this qiē. Another reason why she came to China this time was that she wanted to stay in China, protected by Wang Maoru, and his son Andre to avoid danger.
Therefore, when the Crown Prince's Guard tried to protect them, Tatyana did not refuse this kindness, and she hoped that her children would be safer.
When Wang Maoru stood in the middle of the welcoming crowd, he saw the honorable Princess Tatyana and Crown Prince Andrei stepping off the train under escort, and he confidently walked over. Despite the solemnity of the scene, the hundreds of lively people around and the enthusiastic Belarusian people who came to welcome them, the President and Prime Minister of the Republic of The Republic of China did not come. After all, Russia is now divided into two countries, each of which makes demands to the Republic of China and is not allowed to recognize the other party's representation of Russia. In order not to offend each other, the government of the Republic of China had no choice but to express its own difficulties to the other party. Even though both Soviet Russia and Tsarist Russia were dissatisfied with the neutral policy of the Republic of China, there was no other way to force it to join their side at this time.
