After the removal of Ren Guodong, the rest of Xu Lanzhou's original troops were very enthusiastic. They had no objection to Wang Maoru. They were only in the army and fought for wars these days. The only thing they had opinions was Ren Guodong, a rebellious boy. He served as their brigade commander, and these old subordinates of Xu Lanzhou were dissatisfied. Wang Maoru's actions also made the rest of Xu Lanzhou's troops return, calmed the army's emotions, and expressed their loyalty.

While sorting out the army, Wang Maoru's ambition began a new round of expansion. He was not satisfied that he was just a local warlord. How great could he have? If his army was reorganized into the Heilongjiang Army, would it be like a local warlord like the Ji army and Feng army in the future? Then he would not work hard, so he would be better to stay in Hulunbuir. His purpose was not to be a local warlord.

The Heilongjiang Provincial Army is still a local army after all.

So Wang Maoru ignored the opposition of his aides and asked Premier Duan Qirui to reorganize the Heilongjiang Provincial Army into the Northern Military Regional Force of the Border Defense Army. Without the notice from the Beiyang Military Government, all the Heilongjiang troops, including the new army, old army, patrol battalion, forest protection team, and river protection team were temporarily reorganized into the Northern Military Regional Force of the Border Defense Army.

They are the First to Seventh Infantry Brigades of the Border Guards, the Eighth and Ninth Cavalry Brigade, and the Tenth Artillery Brigade.

Among them, the first Infantry Brigade was adapted from the original Li Delin Brigade and has three regiments under its jurisdiction, the Guard Battalion, the Artillery Battalion, the Cavalry Battalion, the Brigade Commander Li Delin, and the Deputy Brigade Commander Zhao Qing, with 8,000 soldiers.

The Second Infantry Brigade was adapted from Ren Guodong Brigade. It has three infantry regiments under its jurisdiction. Guard Battalion, Artillery Battalion, Cavalry Battalion, Brigade Commander Ren Yuanxing, Deputy Brigade Commander Chen Wenlie, and 8,000 soldiers.

The Third Infantry Brigade was adapted from Zhao Zengfu Brigade and has three infantry regiments, guard battalions, artillery battalions, and cavalry battalions. The Brigade Commander Zhao Zengfu, Deputy Brigade Commander Du Baosan, and the number of soldiers is 8,000.

The Fourth Infantry Brigade was adapted from Chen Fugui Brigade and has three infantry regiments under its jurisdiction. Guard Battalion, Artillery Battalion, Cavalry Battalion, Brigade Commander Gai Tianjiu, Deputy Brigade Commander Xue Xinghua, and 8,000 soldiers.

The Fifth Infantry Brigade was adapted from Li Pinxian Brigade and has three infantry regiments, guard battalions, artillery battalions, and cavalry battalions. The brigade commander Li Pinxian, deputy brigade commander Chen Fugui, and the number of soldiers is 8,000.

The Sixth Infantry Brigade was adapted from the patrol battalions of various places and the supplementary brigade of Zhang Kuiwu. It has three infantry regiments under its jurisdiction, guard battalions, cavalry battalions, brigade commander Zhang Kuiwu, deputy brigade commander Xiong Bingtao, and 6,000 soldiers.

The Seventh Infantry Brigade was adapted from the former Guard Brigade, patrol battalion of various places, and baggage battalion. It is under its jurisdiction, three infantry regiments, machine gun battalion, cavalry battalion, brigade commander Wang Qiyuan, and deputy brigade commander Lu Fang. The Seventh Infantry Brigade is only responsible for the base camp of the Security Command, so it is also called the Security Brigade. There are 5,000 soldiers.

The Eighth Cavalry Brigade was adapted from the Gong Xiaoqi Cavalry Brigade and has two cavalry regiments under its jurisdiction, the brigade commander Gong Xiaoqi, deputy brigade commander Jia Gang, and 4,000 soldiers.

The Ninth Cavalry Brigade was adapted from the Bayinge Cavalry Brigade and the Humeng Cavalry Regiment, and has two cavalry regiments under its jurisdiction, the brigade commander Guo Bro Longqing, the deputy brigade commander Bayinge, and the number of soldiers is 4,000.

The 10th Artillery Brigade was adapted from the Liu Jian Artillery Brigade and the Xu Lanzhou Artillery Corps. It has three artillery regiments under its jurisdiction, including the brigade commander Liu Jian, deputy brigade commander Wang Younian, chief of staff Wei Chenglin, and 4,000 soldiers.

In addition, the Heilongjiang Provincial Police, Forest Protection Team, Road Protection Team, Water Police Force, and Fire Force will be rectified and replaced with uniforms to serve. Some personnel will be transferred to Yakeshi Army Non-commissioned Officer College for further study.

Wang Maoru selected some officers from various armies to study in Yakeshi Army Non-commissioned officers Academy, and transferred some former Yakeshi Army Non-commissioned officers Academy to the grassroots level of the army. For short-term graduates such as Ma Liang, Zhao Baochang, Gao Shulin, Chai Shirong, Ma Haoming, and Wang Licheng, they were also assigned to the army as company commander and deputy company commander for six months to one year. During the assignment, many Yakeshi officers were assigned to the surrendered army, which greatly increased the combat effectiveness of the old army.

While adjusting the officers, Wang Maoru also ordered to emphasize that the military expenses and pay for all border guards shall be distributed by the Command General Staff Office, and the military pay for all border guards shall be distributed uniformly to the designated account of the Chinese bank by the General Staff Office. In the future, soldiers only need to hold their passbooks and remember their passwords. They can withdraw money anytime and anywhere during holidays, eliminating the old habit of military pay for corrupt soldiers.

The Supervisory Department and the Military Law Department will also be responsible for rectifying the military's corruption situation from now on. Any act of greed for military expenditure will be severely punished. As soon as this order was issued, some old military officers in the army resigned one after another, and Wang Maoru naturally refused. These people were also borers who stayed there, so it would be better to leave, which would save the friendship from being hurt.

During this military reform, Yingshun's cavalry brigade was completely disbanded. He joined forces with the patrol battalions of various county towns in the province to form six cavalry battalions and incorporated into six infantry brigades as cavalry battalions directly under the brigade. Shang Yuanqing, who had originally hoped to be promoted, had an old problem again. After drinking, he spoke wildly and slapped the table and had a dispute with Ba Ying. Wang Maoru also had a headache about this guy. Shang Yuanqing had few problems, but he offended everyone with just one word, so he had to let him return to the Grand Commander of the General Guard as the Captain of the General Guard. Qiao Sanbang served as the Infantry Captain of the Grand Commander of the General Guard, and Shang Jianwei served as the Captain of the Cavalry Guard. The former captain of the Guard Yun Suozhan was transferred to the First Infantry Brigade to be promoted to battalion commander, and the former deputy captain of the Deputy Guard Zhang Jinlong was transferred to the Fourth Infantry Brigade as battalion commander.

As soon as the appointment of military personnel ended, the Heilongjiang Provincial Army Preparatory Office once again issued the rank guidelines for soldiers in the Northern Military Region of the Border Defense Army, which are roughly the same as the Beiyang Army. The ranks are divided into four levels, namely, soldiers, lieutenant, sergeant, and sergeant. The lieutenant is warrant officer, second lieutenant, lieutenant, and lieutenant. The ranks are tentatively designated as brigade general, major general, lieutenant, and general. Wang Maoru is the general, the rank of Shangwu, the military envoy, and the general appointed by Yuan Shikai. Duan Qirui Beiyang

After the government took power, Wang Maoru was specially awarded the rank of general to consolidate government stability. The General Staff required that unless otherwise not possible, all officers with rank above rank must further study or graduate from the Army Non-commissioned officer cadets. Wang Maoru also realized one problem, that is, the limitations of the Yakeshi Army Non-commissioned officer Academy, that is, the non-commissioned officer academy is just a school for training non-commissioned officers, just like the Japanese Army Non-commissioned officer Academy. The graduates here are only responsible for commanding the battles below the battalion (in Japan, it is below the brigade).

When the army had already shifted from small-scale combat to battle, the limitations of non-commissioned officers were fully revealed. Looking at the history of the Republic of China, only the Army University in Beijing in China trained a group of divisions and above officers. The Whampoa Military Academy, Baoding Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy and various local military academies were all established to train ground officers. At this time, Wang Maoru urgently hoped that his old friend Jiang Fangzhen would come to help him. A joke at the beginning, but he did not expect that it would become true three years later and he really became the governor. Wang Maoru immediately sent someone to find out about Jiang Fangzhen. He learned that General Cai E was sick at this time. Jiang Fangzhen accompanied him to Japan and accompanied Cai E for treatment in Japan. He immediately sent someone to contact Jiang Fangzhen. Suddenly, he thought that there were not three non-commissioned officers in the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy, so he asked who the three non-commissioned officers were.

Deputy Chief Wei Dongling said: "The three non-commissioned officers did indeed increase their face for the Chinese people at the beginning, and there is another story in it."

Wang Maoru was curious and said, "Tell me this story."

Wei Dongling said: "The three non-commissioned officers are Jiang Fangzhen, Zhang Xiaojun and Cai E. They are graduates of the third-year non-commissioned officers in the Qing Dynasty. Jiang Fangzhen is the infantry department, Zhang Xiaojun is the engineering department, and Cai E is the cavalry department. They graduated from the 16th phase of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy. When they graduated, Prince Fushimiya from Japan personally visited the school to award graduation certificates and reward outstanding students. At the school's graduation ceremony, the first place was our mother. Chinese Jiang Baili, who naturally took away the knife given by the Japanese Emperor. The Prince Fushimiya was shocked and hurriedly read out the second place. What he didn't expect was that the second place was

However, it is still our Chinese Cai E. According to the rules, the top three are given by the Emperor. If the three emperors given by the top three are taken away by the Chinese, where will Xiao Dongyang be given face? Prince Fumimigu looked down at the list again, and his calves were so scared that he was so scared that the third place was clearly written by the Chinese Zhang Xiaohuai. Prince Fumimigu was embarrassed and frightened, and felt that he could not explain to the Emperor, so he had to do it all. From the rankings behind, he changed to the third place as the third place and fourth place. In the end, Zhang Xiaohuai ranked fifth! Because of his excellent grades, Zhang Xiaohuai, Jiang Fangzhen and Cai E were praised as the three Chinese non-commissioned officers by all teachers and students of the school.”

Issue 16? Wang Maoru thought for a while and asked with a smile: "Do you know who else is famous when they graduated at the same time? I mean my classmates, whether they are from Japan or China."

Wei Dongling thought to himself, fortunately, I heard you yesterday, and I prepared for one night. Moreover, he was originally from the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy, and he knew the seniors of the alumni very well. The memory flashed out in his mind and said, "The Chinese students who graduated from the same period now have famous names such as Xu Chongzhi, Qu Tongfeng, Zhou Wenbing, Zhang Songbai, Chen Wenyun, Fu Liangzuo, Zhu Wenzao, and Jiang Fangzhen. The Japanese classmates of itagaki Seishiro, Okamura Yasuo, Okihara Kenji, Ando Riki, Nagata Tetsuyama, and Obata Toshiro."

When Wang Maoru heard the names of these Japanese people, he frowned. The 16th issue of the Japanese Army Non-Commissioner Academy, but this is a lot of celebrities. Not only are there many Chinese celebrities, but the backbone of Japan's future army will also be in this issue.

"Master, what do you mean?" Wei Dongling asked tentatively.

"It would be great if these people were used by me." Wang Maoru sighed.

Wei Dongling said in surprise: "Master, do you want the Japanese to come here to our army?"

"Fuck, I mean, Cai E and Jiang Fang shook the others." Wang Maoru said in a daze.

Wei Dongling patted his chest and was startled, saying, "Lucky, lucky."

"Contact me immediately and invite them to Heilongjiang." Wang Maoru said.

"yes."

Wang Maoru was not satisfied with that when he was twenty-nine years old, he became the governor of the Beiyang General and the Republic of China, and his promotion speed was second only to Cai E.

In history, Cai E was also 29 years old when he was the governor of Yunnan and was named general - Yunnan **. Except for the uprising soldiers besieging the Yamen Mansion, he had never fought a regular battle. Most of them took the initiative to revolt, and a few of them surrendered immediately. The Yunnan army under Cai E was united and had unprecedented strength. At the same time, he opposed Sun Yat-sen and others to form cliques, and advocated that soldiers not form cliques. With a transfer order, Cai E actually stepped down as the governor and ran to the Beiyang Government Army Department to become a civilian senior official - this is impossible for any modern person to do. After all, the supervisor with 100,000 heavy troops or the famous military officials are clear at a glance.!~!
