When the scene was stiff, Li Yanqing immediately smiled and said, "General Wu, look at you, you are all your own people, what's the matter? Let's discuss something and show others a joke."

Zhang Kui'an kept silent and looked at the noise inside the Zhili Army. However, the veteran Wang Yaobin, who had always remained silent, said at this time: "Everyone, why should you make noise at this time? Why do you think about it another day? Just eat it today and just eat it for free." Cao Kun immediately shouted: "Okay, okay, that's better. Negotiations are always done slowly, and it's not too urgent to be anxious." Li Yanqing immediately ordered Gui Nu, and called Yingying and Yanyan in again to ease the atmosphere. However, Wu Peifu was depressed and said goodbye to Cao Kun and Zhang Kui'an and left Shangqingtian.

Cao Rui sneered: "This old boy is too arrogant."

"Lao Qi, you are right." Fourth brother Cao Bifeng said angrily.

Li Yanqing said disdainfully: "He really thought he was a handsome man, but in fact he was just a pawn."

Zhang Kui'an keenly noticed Wu Peifu's embarrassing situation in the Zhili system. Although he was valued by Cao Kun, he was also envied by all parties. In fact, Wu Peifu was indeed outstanding in his military use. Among the major military strategists during the Republic of China, Wu Peifu and Cai E ranked among the top three. As for the other one, they were different from their own opinions. However, Cai E died early, and Wu Peifu met Wang Maoru, who was known as the Wushangwu in the morning. Although he wanted to fight with Wang Maoru, he didn't even have his subordinates.

He has been able to fight. Wu Peifu is somewhat similar to the famous Russian general Tukhachevsky. Both have bad tempers, but they can fight wars. Tukhachevsky is brave in fighting. He is used to attacking the whole army in one go. When facing the enemy head-on, he uses the momentum of being invincible and seducing the enemy without me. The characteristic of Wu Peifu's combat is a surprise attack. He likes to engage in surprise attacks and wins a surprise attack in battle with the Anhui faction. The first Zhifeng War in history was also a surprise attack that defeated Zhang Zuolin, which is why this person has a bad temper.

As the saying goes, talented people also have tempers. Wang Maoru's four generals, Gong Xiaoqi, Mao Ziping, Zhao Zengfu and Ren Yuanxing, also have their own tempers. Ren Yuanxing is very wise and sleek, and is known as Xiao Zhuge, with few friends, among the officers and the government. His friends can count it with one palm. Gong Xiaoqi is strong, arrogant and disdainful to form cliques with others for personal gain. He leads troops and is good at attacking, so appointments are also aggressive. Maozi is flat and vile, and people are not able to catch a handle. However, his personality is the best, but it gives people a feeling of being particularly sinister, that is, Wang Maoru values ​​his talent. Zhao Zengfu is good at defending and suppressing people with power. As his identity becomes more and more arrogance and domineering. Wang Maoru's four men have their own characteristics and tempers, but fortunately they don't need to worry about their loyalty to Wang Maoru, and the military system of the National Defense Forces is more modern, reflecting collectiveness rather than personality to the greatest extent.

Wu Peifu is both a father and a mother in the Zhili family. He has to defend the Zhili family. He is also suspicious of the boss Cao Kun and is envied by a group of candids under Cao Kun. It would be strange if Wu Peifu had a good temper. If Cao Kun had not expressed his extreme trust in Wu Peifu on the surface, Wu Peifu would have done it alone long ago.

The day after the banquet, Zhang Kui'an visited Cao Rui again. The gift he brought this time was a box of RMB, because the maximum denomination of RMB was one silver dollar. Therefore, this box of RMB 50,000 silver dollars was so heavy. Only Zhang Kui'an's accompanying could lift it. Just imagine the 50,000 yuan one yuan, how heavy was that? How could Zhang Kui'an, a weak scholar, take it? Cao Qiye was very happy after seeing the money. The RMB was hard currency in the north and had gradually replaced the use of silver dollars.

Fifty thousand yuan is enough to make Cao Qi's life live for the rest of his life. Zhang Kui'an said directly that this was Xiushuai's meaning. The direct line could not continue to fight. Qi's plan had already been made. If it was a fight to the death, the Cao family would be gone. Cao Rui agreed very much and wanted to take him to the brothel to smoke opium. Zhang Kui'an smiled and refused and said, "We can't afford it. We Northeast people love to smoke big cigarettes." Cao Rui didn't care. After the two started chatting, Cao Rui said that everyone below was afraid that if you can't make any money after the reform.

Zhang Kui'an said disdainfully that the stupidest way to make money is to earn military pay, and the most profitable way is to open a bank and lend money to usury. This makes more money. If the finances are stable and the country is stable, you sit at home and count money to play, why do you need to hold a gun and turn your head on your belt?

Cao Ruiqi said: "Open a bank? I haven't thought about it."

Zhang Kui'an smiled and said, "Why is my Xiushuai rich? Isn't it because I opened a Chinese national bank? Do you know how much money Xiushuai makes every year?" Cao Rui widened his eyes and asked how much. Zhang Kui'an stretched out a palm and signaled it was five. Cao Rui said, "Five hundred thousand?"

Zhang Kui'an shook his head, and Cao Rui said again, "Five million?" His voice trembledly. Zhang Kui'an smiled bitterly, "If it is five million, why does Xiushuai need to open a bank? He can get the interest by putting all his belongings in the bank." Cao Rui screamed in surprise, "Is it 50 million? It is really 50 million?"

Zhang Kui'an smiled and nodded, "Of course, otherwise why is Xiushuai's army arrogant? If you have money."

Cao Rui stopped smoking and paced back and forth: "Is this really that true?"

"Haha, Fourth Master, why should I lie to you?" Zhang Kuian knew that Cao Rui was the representative of Cao Kun's conservatives. As long as Cao Rui was dealt with, the conservatives would definitely be able to do it.

Cao Rui gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, "Sure, since that's the case, I will open a bank in the future. I'm not greedy. I only need one-fifth of it. It's enough to make 10 million a year."

After convinced Cao Rui, Zhang Kui'an found Li Junqing again. Without any need to persuade him, Li Yanqing handed him a suitcase with 200,000 silver dollars in it, which could be used for the same as the National Defense Forces area. Li Yanqing was not vague. Although this man was greedy for money, he was still doing things. He immediately kept talking about the benefits of the National Defense Forces reform in front of Cao Kun. The rapid change in his position made Cao Kun a little stunned.

On September 9, 2019, the 19th year of the Republic of China, Cao Kun sent a telegram to Wang Maoru, requesting the restructuring of the Zhili National Defense Forces, but two points must be achieved: First, Cao Kun will resume the vice president in the future and will run for the next president. Second, Wu Peifu's wanted order will be revoked, the two lakes have been cancelled, and Wu Peifu has also stepped down. The crime of treason and destruction of people's reputation is not useful. In order to appease all the generals of the Zhili Party, Wu Peifu will be the commander of the army. This Cao Kun is also very pleased with Wu Peifu. He doesn't have many requirements for himself, but all the requirements support Wu Peifu. Wu Peifu was grateful and said that even if he could not become the commander of the army, he would be an ordinary soldier to serve Cao Kun in the future.

In the Pubeile Mansion in Beijing, Wang Maoru laughed with a telegram and said, "It's just my wish. I'll send a telegram to Jiang Fangzhen and announced the formation of the fifth legion, the Xuanwu Legion, which was handed over to Wu Peifu, and asked to change the three division colleges of the army, one was an old army, one was the original Zhishi army, and the other was an Anhui division reorganized. In this way, Wu Peifu couldn't do anything even if he had any moves." Then he explained it to the General Staff in this way. After Jiang Fangzhen was inspired, he announced that the National Defense Force would add a new legion number and form the Xuanwu Legion to defend in Mongolia Province. The warlords in the south were shocked.

On September 12, 2019, the General Staff of the National Defense Forces announced that the Liu Zhe army of the 12th Division, located in Mongolia, and Liu Xun's army and the 21st Division and the 24th Division of the Army, a total of three divisions built a new Xuanwu Division. The garrisons were inner and outer Mongolia and including Tangu Wulianghai, Simon and East Mongolia. At the same time, the 32nd Brigade of the 12th Division was upgraded to a cavalry brigade, the 57th Brigade of the 21st Division was upgraded to a cavalry brigade, and the 63rd Brigade of the 24th Division was upgraded to a cavalry brigade. In this way, the Xuanwu Legion would have the largest cavalry unit except the White Tiger Legion. However, the position of the Xuanwu Legion was not announced. Wang Maoru sent a power to Cao Kun and Wu Peifu, laughingly saying that if the Zhili Army belonged to the central government, the position of the legion commander would be given to Wu Peifu.

After many ideological struggles, Wu Peifu finally had to lower his proud head.

On September 13, 2019, Wu Peifu and Cao Kun announced together that Cao Zhi's army had been reorganized by the National Defense Forces and peace was restored in the country. The chaos that began to become emperor in Yuan Shikai gradually recovered its vitality. Wang Maoru also immediately gave a heavy gift, and Cao Kun was "selected" as vice president again, while Wu Peifu was appointed as the commander of the Xuanwu Legion. The chief of staff of the Xuanwu Legion was Liu Zhe, the former commander of the 12th Mongolian Division, and the commander of the 12th Division was taken over by Huo Diange, the commander of the 26th Brigade.

In this way, the Zhili army will no longer have brave generals, and the Zhili army will gradually accept reorganization.

After the Direct Group stated that it would accept the reorganization, Hubei Governor Xiao Yaonan had no choice but to accept the reorganization. As for Hunan, it was a mess and divided into several forces, but it was accepted within the direct-owned territory.

At this point, except for Zhang Zuolin's northwest provinces, all the defense forces were reorganized. Zhang Zuolin was in such an awkward position, unable to advance and retreat from front to back, and with great ambitiousness, he wanted to break this situation, but found that he was surrounded by enemies everywhere.

Wang Maoru had long wanted to reorganize the Henan Army. After dismissing Zhao Ti as the governor of Henan, he appointed Zhao Ti as the governor of Henan, he reorganized the Henan Army into an infantry brigade, namely the 72nd Infantry Brigade of the National Defense Army. The brigade commander was Wen Chenghuan, the general of Yijun, Zhao Ti's confidant. At the same time, the 16th Mixed Brigade and the 1st Mixed Brigade stationed in Zheng County, Henan were reorganized into the 73rd Infantry Brigade of the National Defense Army, and the brigade commander was Feng Yuxiang. The 4th Mixed Brigade, the 17th Mixed Brigade, and the 17th Mixed Brigade were reorganized into the 74th Brigade, and the brigade commander was Yan Xiangwen. The 73rd Brigade and the 74th Brigade of the 72nd Brigade formed the 26th Division of the National Defense Army in Kaifeng.
