The next day, Wang Maoru once again conducted in-depth research on the army's reform with all members of the National Defense Strategy Research Group and discussed the feasibility and importance of the army's reform.

This is the first activity of the National Defense Military Strategy Research Group and the most important reform of the Chinese Defense Forces in the next few years. After more than ten hours of discussion, I finally raised my hands to vote and believe that the reform of the army is inevitable, but the time cannot be rushed and it takes five years to digest it.

The team believed that the final decision was mainly to rotate officers in the first year (1923), which caused all officers to reshuffle and change positions.

In the second year (1924), one or two legions were used as pilot projects. Wang Maoru believed that the pilot project should be led by the Qinglong Legion and the Tengshe Legion of the Third Legion. After the reform, the Second Legion would retain the title of Qinglong Legion, and in the number was the Second Army, and the Third Legion would be changed to the Third Army.

In the third year (1925), the reorganized troops will add five corps, namely the Fourth Corps, the Fifth Corps, the Sixth Corps and the Eighth Corps.

In the fourth year (1926), the reorganized troops included the First Legion, the Seventh Legion, the Ninth Legion, the Tenth Legion, the Eleventh Legion, the Fourteenth Legion, and the Sixteenth Legion.

In the fifth year (1927), the 12th Army, the 13th Army and the 15th Army were finally completed, and the entire army was fully reorganized.

Wu Peifu, who has always been very angry, believes that the army's reform is too slow. Many major events can happen in the world in five years. He proposed a three-year plan. If it can be completed in three years, it will be completed in three years, and it does not have to take five years.

Wang Maoru smiled and said that five years have actually been very short. Implementing reforms in three years is equivalent to wanting to eat fat in one bite - that is absolutely impossible, unless I can hold on to death at once. Wang Maoru smiled and said that I agree with your words, that is, if you can seize the time, you can seize the time. The world form has not left us much time. In five years, the Soviet Empire should recover, Japan's military and national ideas should become more and more prosperous, the economy of the world's powers should gradually recover, and China once again faces a period of coveting by various countries.

Then the Military Strategy Research Group voted collectively, passed the Army Reform Plan, and wanted all troops to issue announcements in the name of the National Defense Strategy Research Group. With the approval of the Grand Marshal Wang Maoru, the National Defense Force Reform will be implemented this year, and the National Defense Force officer rotation will be completed before the end of the year.

Due to the rotation of officers, the lawsuit has become busy. Many people hope that they will not be moved too far away, so they sent me notes to call Pu Ding to plead. Pu Ding was in a dilemma, so they found Wang Maoru. Wang Maoru said, "Who pleads with you? List the list, and I will decide where they go. Also, you tell them that all the information about the lawsuit will be reported to me. I will know who is greedy for life and who is greedy for death, who is stolen and cheating for relationships, as soon as possible."

Pu Ding submitted a list, and Wang Maoru then ordered that these people be transferred to the most difficult and difficult places, if they can't do it well, get out of the National Defense Forces. A series of personnel transfers immediately made those who want to leave the relationship stop their thoughts and obediently obey the arrangements. The lawsuit is already heavy, and if you still estimate the feelings of these people and the feelings of those people, how can you do this work? Wang Maoru issued a notice for the whole army, requiring all officers to cooperate with the personnel transfer of the lawsuit. If you are dissatisfied, swallow my dissatisfaction in my stomach or leave the army.

At this time, He Rufei received the three million yen support funds from Ji Xiangdong to him through the Deputy Director of the Mobilization Department. He asked Ji Xiangdong to give him ten principal checks of the Japanese Masin Bank of 300,000, and Ji Xiangdong quickly made it. In fact, when the money was not received, He Rufei was still in conflict. When the three million yen was received, He Rufei made up his mind. Then he once again discussed with Feng Yuxiang, Xi Kangyong, Fu Wencheng, and Ji Xiangdong how to eliminate the power that controlled Wang Maoru and influence the control of the Ministry of Defense within two days.

Ji Xiangdong had already made a seemingly seamless plan for He Rufei. Three days later, Wang Maoru brought all the National Defense Forces officials to visit the North and South Military Academy at Baoding Military Academy and stayed at Baoding Military Academy for one night. This was a great opportunity, and the information He Rufei received was that the guard power was not very sufficient. If he controlled the Baoding Military Academy at this time, he would control the entire Ministry of Defense in one fell swoop.

He Rufei supplemented this plan and prepared to integrate seven troops on July 15th. They are: He Rufei's Guard, Feng Yuxiang's 73rd Brigade, Li Kuan's Eighth Division, Fei Chaogui's Jingwei Corps, recruits from the Beijing New Soldier Station under the General Office of Military Affairs, Belarusian mercenaries, and some military police officers at the military police headquarters. In addition, you can also contact Zhang Zongchang to join their team.

The plan was to first ask Zhang Zongchang's troops to send a telegram, saying that the military police needed to rotate. Xi Kangyong sent a team of military police to get off the train midway and told them that someone (skeptically accused Wu Peifu and Zhang Zuolin and other old Beiyang soldiers) launched a military change, allowing the military police to go to Baoding to rescue the Grand Marshal Wang Maoru.

These people will arrive in Baoding after dark, just in time to create chaos while it is dark.

His 73rd Brigade led by Feng Yuxiang followed closely behind. When the military police and the guards of Baoding Military Academy were fighting each other, under the banner of quelling the rebellion, he conquered Baoding Military Academy and controlled everyone.

In Beijing, Li Kuan first invited the garrison commander Gai Tianjiu. Because Li Kuan was Gai Tianjiu's old subordinate, Commander Gai would never have thought that Li Kuan would harm him. After controlling Gai Tianjiu, Li Kuan led the 8th Division to occupy the 8th Legion Command.

At this time, Feng Yuxiang should have already controlled Baoding. He Rufei came forward at the Baoding Military Academy to generate electricity in the name of the Ministry of National Defense to promote Li Kuan to commander of the Eighth Corps and control the garrison troops in the capital.

Then the recruits from the Beijing New Recruitment Station were responsible for attacking the Guard Headquarters, the Belarusian mercenaries were responsible for attacking the Ministry of National Defense, and He Rufei's guards were responsible for creating chaos and causing chaos in Beijing. At this time, the Gyeonggi garrison controlled by Li Kuan began to control the entire Beijing city, suppress the unrest, and shifted the responsibility to the Belarusian mercenaries, saying that these Russians had been dissatisfied and planned for a long time. In the end, all the responsibility for the chaos, death and injury caused by the entire military transformation was to Belarus, and the person responsible for contacting Belarus would be Park Ji-koo, deputy director of the Mobilization Department.

However, Xi Kangyong believes that he may not be able to fully control the military police. There is also a military police chief He Anding on top of him. He Rufei said expressionlessly: "He Anding should be in Baoding that day, so you don't have to worry too much. As for how the mobilized military police coaxed them to attack Baoding Military Academy, I have a way, and I will definitely make these people believe that Wang Maoru must be held hostage. The purpose of this team of military police is to create chaos in Baoding and make the guards of Baoding Military Academy suspicious of each other. Once they have chaos, Feng Yuxiang's army can have an excuse to suppress the rebellion. We just need an excuse, an excuse!"

Feng Yuxiang said: "The officers in my army are also very troublesome. President He, can I..." He made a move to wipe his neck.

He Rufei nodded coldly and said, "Everything that hinders our plan must be eliminated."

"Yes." Feng Yuxiang saluted.

He Rufei clapped his hands and reminded everyone: "Everyone, we are already grasshoppers on a rope. If we fail, we will be implicated in the nine tribes. If we fail, we will be able to succeed. In order to succeed, we will spare no cost."

Fu Wencheng asked: "Will we kill the Grand Marshal Wang Maoru?"

He Rufei thought for a while and said, "No killing, but if he is unconscious or disabled, it will be more useful to us. After controlling the situation, we can completely shirk the rebels and say that it was done by the rebels."

“Who is the ‘rebels’?”

He Rufei laughed and said, "Everyone can be a 'rebel', but I hope this 'rebel' is an old Beiyang person like Wu Peifu, Zhang Zuolin and Sa Zhenbing. In this way, I can suppress these people, warn some people who oppose me, and win over people from the National Defense Forces system." After all the plans were made, He Rufei asked everyone to keep the secrets and wrote a letter of determination to eliminate Wang Maoru to the death. Everyone pressed their handprints and went back to prepare.

After everyone left, He Rufei said to the adjutant Du Yuancheng: "You are trying every means to forge an emergency warrant from the Grand Marshal Wang Maoru. The warrant means that the old Beiyang generals headed by Sa Zhenbing in the army prepare for the military transformation. Wang Mao ordered the military police brigade to be promoted to the Grand Marshal Guard and go to Baoding Military Academy to quell the rebellion. I am worried that Xi Kangyong is just a fool who talks about military affairs on paper and does not understand the military police brigade."

Du Yuancheng asked carefully: "General, does anyone believe it?"

He Rufei smiled wickedly and said, "If someone appears, others will have to believe it."

"who?"

He Rufei said: "Whose wife are you with now?"

"Ah?" Du Yuancheng was surprised, "General, it turns out that you... the wife who asked me to seduce that man before was for the present!"

He Rufei laughed and patted Du Yuancheng on the shoulder and said, "The calculations should be longer. Don't think that I asked you to seduce other people's wives just to play with women?"

Du Yuancheng stretched out his thumb and said, "General He is tall! It's really tall!"

In the following days, He Rufei controlled the troops according to Ji Xiangdong's plan and used the promotion of officers to stabilize the National Defense Forces. When the National Defense Forces stabilized, they released the officers of the Ministry of Defense. In this way, even if they came out, they were just puppets and could not do anything.
