Volume Four, Battle of Unification, Chapter 564, Head of the Guards of the Overseer
Feng Yinbin thought about being Li Chun's son-in-law for a moment and agreed to the marriage. The third uncle Feng Jiayu said that Governor Li was waiting for you to go to Nanjing with him to see his youngest daughter Li Lin, and the two of them cultivated their relationship. Governor Li laughed and said that he would borrow someone from Wang Maoru, and with his face, Wang Maoru would not refuse. Feng Yinbin had already accepted the task to win over the Third Governor of the Yangtze River, and this time he was even closer to the water, so he agreed happily. Then he generated a power to Wang Maoru, reported everything to Wang Maoru, and went to Beijing to see his superior Zhang Kui'an.
Zhang Kui'an also knew that Feng Yinbin was about to be recruited by Li Chun as a son-in-law, so he reminded him: "Governor Li is a kind person, but he has a general under him and you should be wary of it."
"who?"
"Qi Xieyuan." Zhang Kui'an said with a bright look and smiled, "Do you know that your prospective father-in-law, Li Chun, is suffering from illness?"
Feng Yinbin said in surprise: "I don't know."
Zhang Kui'an sighed: "I didn't believe the information given to me by the Central Intelligence Department at first, but I gave it to you to let you know something. Shan Shuai may have mental problems. Foreign doctors often go to the house to see a doctor. According to Western medicine, Shan Shuai is a little mentally depressed, sometimes nervous and sometimes very nervous, sometimes seriously crazy, so you should pay attention."
Feng Yinbin was surprised and said, "Governor Li didn't get sick when he was in my house." He felt a little taboo. Is this person actually mentally ill? I can't tell.
Zhang Kui'an shook his head and smiled bitterly, holding a pile of papers, and sighed. He saw Feng Yinbin pulling him over to sit next to him, and said seriously: "So it is difficult to tell whether this information is true or not, and the CIA has not really confirmed it. Besides, who can know whether Shan Shuai is pretending to be stupid and acting for others. Just a reminder for you." He suddenly remembered something and said: "There is an important thing. Li Chun smokes opium and is very addicted. Look at him being thin now. He is extremely powerful when he was young. Alas, smoking big smoke has emptied his body, and many of Li Chun's subordinates smoke big smoke. They are all addicts. In the future, you must be careful not to be assimilated by them. When Li Chun was young, he met a wild leopard and killed the wild leopard. But look now... Alas."
Feng Yinbin nodded and said, "Director, I understand. I have hated opium since I was a child. My father is...ah." After a while, Feng Yinbin hesitated and asked, "Director, how about Li Lin?"
Zhang Kui'an laughed and said, "Look at you, I thought you wouldn't ask." Feng Yinbin smiled awkwardly. Zhang Kui'an patted his shoulder and said, "A lady from a family is not good at leaving the house, she is virtuous and kind, gentle and elegant." Feng Yinbin nodded.
After Feng Yinbin followed Li Chun to Nanjing, he immediately rushed to a different place between the Jiangsu Army and the National Defense Force. In fact, the most fundamental thing is not clothing and weapons, but a question of loyalty. Wang Maoru has always emphasized the loyalty of military officers and soldiers since the founding of the army, and has instilled loyalty education such as national justice, personal future, and compatriot protection, so that the soldiers of the army know who they are loyal to. The entire 500,000 army is only loyal to Wang Maoru. This kind of education is different from Yuan Shikai's small-stop training. After only a period of time, Yuan Shikai's loyalty education lasted and became keen on power struggle. After that, he was disloyal to the Qing Dynasty and could no longer teach the loyalty of the soldiers.
When Wang Maoru became rich, there was no Qing Dynasty to take care of him. There was only one Yuan Shikai who helped him die. He also took good care of the people of the Yuan family. In the words of the old man in Beiyang, Wang Maoru had already repaid enough for his kindness. The eldest son Yuan Keding held an important position in the Northeast and was highly valued, which was not unrelated to Wang Maoru's gratitude to Yuan Shikai.
What made Feng Yinbin most puzzled was that the Beiyang Army in Jiangsu only knew how to obey the orders of the superiors. However, they did not know who they were loyal to. The superiors seemed to be the same as those of the superiors. This move had both advantages and disadvantages. The advantages were that the soldiers followed the orders of the soldiers, and the disadvantages were that they would listen to the orders of everyone. As long as they were Shangguan, they would become an army with no goal at all. Once the general general Li Chun stepped down, his 60,000 troops would immediately change their surname to someone else's team. Wang Maoru's National Defense Army was different. If the central government removed Wang Maoru's position, the 500,000 troops would go directly to Beijing as long as Wang Maoru gave the order. Besides, no one would dare to come as the commander of the National Defense Army. If a 500,000 arrogant general would not be able to command the 500,000 soldiers, and even more afraid of being attacked by a hidden gun behind his back.
After bringing Feng Yinbin to Nanjing, Li Chun attached great importance to him, but he realized the rejection and dissatisfaction of the people around him. Feng Yinbin's personality was very tough. He learned to observe words and expressions at a young age when he was fostered in the Feng family. He never caused trouble and did not show any signs of disgrace. However, when he stood up, he was determined. Feng Yinbin talked about love with Li Chun's daughter Li Meng in a low-key manner, and usually served as an adjutant to Li Chun's staff, and would never say anything unless Li Chun asked him.
Gradually, Li Chun took more and more attention to Feng Yinbin. Later, at the begging of his daughter Li Lin, he asked Feng Yinbin what he had. Feng Yinbin said, "I just hope to be the guard officer of my father-in-law and protect my father-in-law's safety, which is enough." Li Chun was very moved and handed over the supervisory guard to him.
After Feng Yinbin became the commander of the General Guard, he ordered the General Guard to expand the army to two battalions. Nearly a thousand people lived around the General Guard to provide comprehensive protection for the General Guard. At the same time, many officers from the National Defense Forces of Yakeshi Military Academy were appointed as officers, and gradually established their own direct line in the Jiangsu Army. Feng Yinbin's protection of Li Chun was imitated by Wang Maoru's guard. Wang Maoru had experienced many assassinations and had long raised his protection to a certain level. Li Chun was not used to it and thought that Feng Yinbin was a little nervous. Feng Yinbin said: "My father-in-law, as long as you succeed in assassination, all the preparations in front will be wasted."
Li Chun also knew Feng Yinbin's good intentions, but when he thought of the more than 200 soldiers around him watching and listening, he felt extremely awkward. Li Chun likes to smoke big cigarettes and sips when he is fine, so this problem has caused him to become weaker. Feng Yinbin is with him and often advises him to smoke as little as possible, which is not good for his body. Li Chun smiled and said, "I just married my daughter and wanted to care about me, boy, you are too young."
However, Feng Yinbin's position in Li Chun's heart became more and more important. Soon, the Supervisor Guard was expanded into the Supervisor Guard Regiment at the suggestion of Feng Yinbin, and Feng Yinbin served as the regiment commander. Feng Yinbin appointed four battalion commanders, three of whom were officers from the Yakeshi Army Non-commissioned Academy. The only battalion commander was Huang Baitao, who was a real officer promoted from the grassroots level. Feng Yinbin was promoted to him by exception, and Huang Baitao was also grateful to him. Huang Baitao was the famous general who defeated Huaye in later generations, and at this time he was just a twenty-year-old young man. The rank he had served as deputy company commander before, and was appointed as battalion commander by Feng Yinbin all at once. How could he not be devoted to him?
While Wang Maoru was enjoying family happiness in Zhang Hengcheng, he also stepped up the military restructuring. The project of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force to become a national defense force is now boycotted by the general generals. Even Jin Yunpeng could not withstand the pressure and hinted to Wang Maoru to ban the reorganization movement. How could Wang Maoru give up? After being reorganized into the National Defense Force, he took up the righteousness, which was equivalent to governing the emperor to order the princes, so he naturally refused to agree. Moreover, the annoyance of assassination did not appear, and Wang Maoru insisted on leaving Guisui.
The Beiyang government did not dare to urge him. Whoever urged Wang Maoru to stop investigating the case would be equivalent to causing trouble for himself? The conflict between Zhi and Anhui that should have occurred at this time in history was also diluted because of Wang Maoru's gradual strength.
1919 passed like this. When 1920 arrived, the explosion in Guo Leizhuang was still clueless. Wang Mao ordered the 7th Division Jiang Dengxuan’s troops to be stationed here (Chahar), ordered the Maoziping’s 14th Division to return to Rehe, and then led his troops back to Chenyang City, Liaoning Province.
After the National Defense Force occupied Chahar, Tama Tama stepped down from the rank of the Chahar, but the unified position of Chahar was vacant. Wang Maoru did not allow others to interfere in Chahar. The Anhui faction hoped to get help from Wang Maoru, so he did not appoint anyone as Chahar Commander. Wang Maoru was most unaccustomed to the titles of the Supervisor and the General Secretary, because the General Secretary and the Supervisor were the cause of the melee of the warlords, which was equivalent to **. Wang Maoru's army did not have the position of Supervisor, and the army only needed to obey the General Staff, loyal to Wang Maoru himself, and did not interfere with each other in military and political affairs, which avoided the emergence of small warlord groups under his command, and also avoided the tragedy of Yuan Shikai in the late period.
Jiang Dengxuan thought he would choose to be the governor, but was called by Wang Maoru and just stared at him blankly. Jiang Dengxuan was not sure, so he was so scared that he didn't dare to speak. Wang Maoru said, "Do you want to be a soldier or a politician?" Jiang Dengxuan hurriedly said, "Of course he is a soldier."
"Soldiers don't interfere in politics, that's not what you are good at." Wang Maoru said.
Jiang Dengxuan immediately said, "Xiu Shuai, my subordinates understand, please rest assured Xiu Shuai."
In the year after Wang Maoru left, the Great Governor's Office centered on the Seven-man Committee did not make any achievements, but was not at fault. The five northeastern provinces developed step by step. When they learned that Wang Maoru promised not to move troops for five years, everyone obviously relaxed. Wang Maoru promised not to go south for five years, which also allowed Duan Qirui's Anhui faction, Cao Kun's Zhi faction and Zhang Zuolin's army from the Northwest Army to relax, but could he be beaten? It was obvious that the gain was not worth the loss. The Anhui faction was injured by attacking the Northeast Army. The Zhang Zuolin's army was still driven to the northwest by the Northeast Army. The only one who had not had any conflict with Wang Maoru was the Zhi faction, but the Zhi faction was split into Cao Zhi and Feng Zhi, and he did not have the idle intention to annex Wang Maoru's border.
