Volume Four The Battle of Unification Chapter 557 Eighteen Divisions of the National Defense Forces
Wang Maoru's subordinates found out that someone had sent 50,000 oceans to hire them to attack Wang Maoru's troops and test the true strength of the interfering army. However, they did not expect that they had money but died. After Wang Maoru sneered, he ordered that the black evil gods in Xiguan were beheaded from top to bottom and were all beheaded and threw them into the desert to feed the wolf.
As for who gave the money to instruct, he had no clues to chase him. The man had already run away when He Ying set out. He Ying had robbed countless gold, silver and jewelry that he had robbed over the years were taken back by the interfering army. Wang Maoru distributed the money equally to the sergeants, and he didn't ask for a penny. However, there were too many people. Because of insufficient distribution, Wang Maoru also demanded 20,000 oceans for fairness. This matter was learned by the soldiers, which was very touched. For Wang Maoru, tens of thousands of oceans were small matters, even if he took out millions of oceans, what could he do? His goal was not to make money. If he made money, he would not have tried his best to do so many things. A person's ambition determines his behavior, and a person's mind determined his achievements. Looking at the civilians, there are many talented people, but they compete for interests with their subordinates and harsh soldiers for their own selfishness, which later became a cloud of history.
Since he returned to the country, the word "interference army" naturally cannot be used. It happened that Wang Maoru was proposed to be the deputy commander of the army by Jin Yunpeng. In order to ease the conflict between Wang Maoru's Northeast Army and the Anhui faction, the Anhui faction allowed Jin Yunpeng to propose to pass it. After President Xu Shichang and Jin Yunpeng made a decision, the Anfu faction cabinet approved the decision to appoint Wang Maoru as the deputy commander of the army. The next day, Wang Maoru was officially appointed as the commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces. From then on, Wang Maoru's Northeast Army under Wang Maoru stepped into the ranks of regular troops from the border army. The previous letter of Jin Yunpeng's appointment was not passed by the Anfu congress. It was illegal in procedurally, but it complied with the internal rules of the army. This time it was both legal and compliant. The next day, the Beijing government issued a telegram to the whole country, and Wang Maoru, the governor of the Northeast and the governor of Xinjiang, officially served as the deputy commander of the army, and was responsible for the project of the reform of the army from the National Defense Forces.
Restructuring all Chinese troops into the Chinese National Defense Force is not a small project. In this year, only the troops in their own hands are real, otherwise who will obey your orders? Even if it is a direct Anhui system, each of the supervisors may even sometimes dare to disobey the boss. Let alone the nominal orders of the Army Department. Wang Maoru has seen through all this long to prevent the general from usurping power. There is no one in his territory in some territory. All the troops are under the name of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force Command and are under the jurisdiction of the command. The governor, regardless of military affairs, will be unified by the General Staff. The general only cares about war and is not allowed to interfere in the local area, and has already made full preparations. After all, if a supervisor is appointed, it will be unfair to others. Once all the subordinates are supervising the general who has captured all the evidence, the territory will be difficult to control.
For the sake of interests, Wang Maoru actively advocated and supported the army's reform, but the army's reform will definitely touch the interests of others. He can't control others, so he can only manage himself first. Wang Mao ordered the Northeast Frontier Defense Army to be reorganized into the National Defense Army of the Republic of China, and the army divisions of the army re-established the number, that is, the current 1st to 18th Divisions of the Northeast Frontier Defense Army of the Republic of China, all of which were changed to the First Division of the Army of the Republic of China to the 18th Division of the Army of the Republic of China. The Northeast Frontier Defense Army jumped from local troops to national
The family army. This can be said to have become a phoenix. In order to govern the army, the Fourth General of the Northeast Frontier Defense Forces was renamed the Fourth General of the National Defense Forces of the Republic of China. Jiang Fangzhen served as the Chief of Staff of the National Defense Forces, Mi Shaobai served as the General Logistics Chief of the National Defense Forces, He Rufei served as the General Military Affairs Chief of the National Defense Forces, and Li Delin served as the General Security Chief of the National Defense Forces. The reorganized National Defense Forces military pay and military expenses were all issued by the General Logistics Department, and the General Military Affairs Department was responsible for review. The General Staff Department was responsible for execution and the General Security Department was responsible for supervision.
But in fact, all the expenses of the National Defense Forces were paid by Wang Maoru's eight provinces (Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, Rehe, Mongolia, Xinjiang, Taixi, Anxi), and the Beiyang Ministry of Finance did not take a penny. Wang Maoru didn't bother asking them for it.
Li Pinxian, commander of the First Division of the Defense Army of the Republic of China, Zhao Zengfu, commander of the Second Division, Wang Jiejun, commander of the Third Division, Gong Xiaoqi, commander of the Fourth Division, Gai Tianjiu, commander of the Fifth Division, Fei Chaogui, commander of the Sixth Division, Jiang Dengxuan, commander of the Seventh Division, Wang Qiyuan, commander of the Eighth Division, Zhang Kuiwu, commander of the Ninth Division, Zhao Qing, commander of the Tenth Division, Zhang Xiangwu, commander of the 11th Division, Liu Zhe, commander of the 13th Division, Wei Dongling, commander of the 14th Division, Mao Ziping, commander of the 15th Division, Du Baosan, commander of the 16th Division, commander of the 17th Division, Lu Jin, commander of the 17th Division, and commander of the 18th Division, Chen Wenyun, commander of the 18th Division, were all officially promoted to the rank of lieutenant general of the National Defense Army of the Republic of China. The original rank was the Northeast Frontier Defense Army, which was conferred by the local government itself, which was suspected of being self-proclaimed. The ranks issued now are more formal and much more orthodox than the ranks of lieutenant general in the past.
At the same time, Wang Maoru also ordered the restructuring of the military rank. In order to correspond to the honorable name of the National Defense Force, the military rank was adopted from low to high, namely the seventh rank of the soldier: private, second-class, corporal, sergeant, sergeant, sergeant, chief of sergeant, officer level 15: warrant officer, second-class, lieutenant, lieutenant, captain, caliber, major, lieutenant, colonel, brigade general, major general, lieutenant general, general, marshal (honor rank), and the Grand Marshal of the Three Armies (honor rank).
The rank of commander of the army is the general, the division commander of the army is the rank of lieutenant general, the rank of commander of the brigade is the major general, and the rank of commander of the army is the colonel. He is also warrant officer, caliber, and brigade general is the military staff and the preparatory promotion officer. In principle, the marshal of the three armies is the head of state, and is recognized by the three armies. The rank of marshal is the rank of honor. He shall not be granted a catastrophe unless he is a country who has opened up the territory and split the territory.
After learning of the military reform, he turned from a border army to a national defense force, the officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army cheered happily. After fighting for so many years, they were finally recognized to be the national army. According to the rank standards, the four chief ministers were all the ranks of general. Wang Maoru, as the commander-in-chief, led the rank of general, but the National Defense Force (18 divisions) collectively recommended it as the first rank of marshal, but Wang Maoru expressed his determination to refuse. Therefore, the highest rank of the National Defense Force after the reform was temporarily only a general, and the only general was Wang Maoru. The rank of the National Defense Force was formulated with reliable and strict standards. Compared with the many generals of the Republic of China, the ranks were much standardized and were much lower. However, the National Defense Force had a strong military strength and the soldiers and officers were extremely proud, which caused the lieutenant of the National Defense Force to disdain to salute when he saw the warlords' lieutenant colonel, and also created a lot of friction and conflict.
Originally, Zhang Zuolin wanted to get a military rank, but when he heard that the National Defense Force had to listen to the jurisdiction of the Fourth General of the National Defense Force, what did he become? The commander alone? He had to listen to Jiang Fangzhen in the future. Putting aside the old grievances between himself and Jiang Fangzhen, just Jiang Fangzhen and Wang Maoru were wearing pairs of pants, wouldn’t it be that Wang Maoru got his territory in vain? He didn’t dare to do so, so he returned embarrassedly and stopped talking about the issue of reform. It was already very troublesome for Wang Maoru’s own troops to carry out military reforms, so he could not care about the Northwest Army. Zhang Zuolin would just not cause trouble. Besides, the four northwest provinces were poor, and he had to help him raise troops after he wanted his territory. Why did he have to do it?
Since Zhang Zuolin did not mention it, Wang Maoru would not talk about it. The two of them were just laughing and drinking to reminisce about the past, talking about the major domestic events, and talking about the future of the motherland.
After talking about Sun Wen has become the president of the Southern Provisional Government again, Wang Maoru was very surprised. Zhang Zuolin sneered: "Isn't it still a puppet? It's just Lu Rongting, Tang Jiyao, Xiong Kewu and Liu Shixian who came to negotiate with Beijing. Brother, can't you understand? Sun Quan has no army, and if he doesn't have an army, he will be summoned and whispered." Wang Maoru deeply agreed. At this moment, he could drink and chat with Zhang Zuolin here with the 400,000 troops in his hands. What Zhang Zuolin felt most deeply in Baotou these days was that Wang Maoru's staff system was really strong. Wang Maoru was only responsible for one general plan, and the staff immediately worked together to come up with a plan, and the same was true for the army's reform. According to Zhang Zuolin's idea, why wouldn't this thing take a few years to come out? Unexpectedly, the staff members brought out the detailed restructuring plan two days later.
Seeing that Zhang Zuolin was curious, Wang Maoru showed it to him. Zhang Zuolin waved his hand and smiled, "It's a fucking slut, I can't read it." Wang Maoru laughed and suddenly said, "Brother Seven, ask you something."
"Say, what's the matter? If I can do it, I will definitely do it for you."
"Send me one person."
Zhang Zuolin became alert and said, "What? Who is it? You are still thinking about it."
Wang Maoru smiled and said, "You have a staff officer named Ding Chao. How about sending me? I will exchange it with twenty machine guns."
Zhang Zuolin turned around and said to Chang Yinhuai: "Ding Chao is..."
"The staff officer of the Fifth Mixed Brigade has been removed from office for improper handling of Feng Yuxiang." Chang Yinhuai said.
Zhang Zuolin thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll give the person I want. I'll have twenty machine guns, so don't keep your word."
Wang Maoru laughed and said, "Brother Seven is so happy. Twenty machine guns will give you another 20,000 bullets." Twenty machine guns changed to another talent. Wang Maoru said that he had made a lot of money, but Zhang Zuolin was also saying that he had made a lot of money. After all, he had more talents under his command, but he had few resources.
After briefly dealing with the official business in Baotou in Suiyuan, Wang Maoru said goodbye to Zhang Zuolin. Zhang Zuolin said that he was very angry about the attack on your troops in Suiyuan. He would definitely suppress the bandits strictly and add a peaceful world in Suiyuan. Wang Maoru secretly guessed in his heart that it was Zhang Zuolin who spent money to attack him, but he didn't care. Zhang Zuolin also learned the lesson and knew that he was not easy to mess with. Besides, he really didn't want to fight now. Then he smiled and said, "Why do you have to be in your heart? Just think that you have sent money to our army." Zhang Zuolin laughed and said that it was still my brother who could see it.
Then he arrived along the Jingsui Railway to Guisui (now Hohhot), the capital of Suiyuan Province. Wang Maoru also said goodbye to Zhang Zuolin and hoped that he could go back to his hometown to see him. Will he be close to his hometown? Zhang Zuolin joked: "It's not that. In the future, it will be your brother. Brother Seven, I will help you. What do you think?"
