Wang Maoru has just served as the chief of the army, and then as the chief of sports, and Wang Maoru has become a busy person. Compared to being the chief of sports in a high-profile manner, although Wang Maoru has been dealing with the chief of the army in a low-key manner, the hearts of the Republic of China government and warlords have caused huge waves, and the era of Wang Xiusheng has finally come.

At this time, in the Jiangsu Governor's Office in Hangzhou, Lu Yongxiang and Xu Shuzheng were speechless. Wang Maoru was elected as the chief of the army in a low-key manner. It was a terrifying event for others to watch the fun, but Xu Shuzheng was extremely jealous. Wang Maoru, who had been fighting for nearly ten years, became the chief of the army in this way. How could Xu Shuzheng be convinced? But now he is not convinced. Wang Maoru successfully walked up step by step, but Xu Shuzheng was getting lower and lower step by step. It is indeed because he had to throw goods into pieces and die.

In October, the temperature in Hangzhou began to get colder, and it was already snowing in the northeast, and it was rare to fall in Beijing, Zhili and other places. "Yes, what do you think?" Lu Yongxiang asked. He was thirteen years older than Xu Shuzheng, but Lu Yongxiang was not arrogant and domineering, and he was three-point friendship with everyone. Xu Shuzheng is now the Chief of Staff of Zhejiang General Staff. Relying on his talent, he managed Zhejiang in an orderly manner, which was quite trusted by Lu Yongxiang.

The reason why Xu Shuzheng defected to Lu Yongxiang was because of his gentle personality and was also a fence-based faction in the Anhui clan. However, Lu Yongxiang also had the glory of restoring the Anhui clan, but he did not have the ability or strength. Lu Yongxiang originally thought that with his own connections and Xu Shuzheng's ability, he could seize Jiangsu in the north, Anhui in the west, and Jiangxi in the south. He joined forces with Fujian to achieve the hegemony of the five eastern provinces.

What Lu Yongxiang did not do was something Sun Chuanfang did eight years later in history. Unfortunately, Sun Chuanfang was still waiting in Hubei to receive the adaptation of the National Defense Forces. He was also running around to the top and bottom, whether to stay in the National Defense Forces as a battalion commander or go to the armed police brigade to be a regiment commander.

Wang Maoru did not give Lu Yongxiang time. After the reorganization of the Jiangsu Army was completed, it was Jiangxi and Anhui. The Fujian Governor Li Houji also sent a telegram to accept the reorganization of the central government and sent representatives to discuss the reorganization of the Fujian Army with the Central Army. At this time, even if the Zhejiang Army had ambitions, looking around, except for the east... the east was the sea, and the Navy of the Republic of China was all at the hands of the National Defense Forces Coast Guard, the east was even more unsafe.

The two analyzed it over and over again. The current situation was extremely unfavorable to them. And they were unacceptable to accepting the reorganization of the National Defense Forces. At this time, someone from the Southern Revolutionary Government came and secretly signaled that they would never surrender to the National Defense Forces. Originally, Lu Yongxiang hated the Kuomintang to the core, and Xu Shuzheng also gritted his teeth at it. However, for his own interests, Lu Yongxiang secretly reached an agreement with the Southern Revolutionary Government to form an ally. The two families were not far apart, and there was another Fujian among them. Lu Yongxiang was preparing to take action against Fujian and urged the Southern Revolutionary Government to take action in line and divide Fujian equally.

However, just as Lu Yongxiang was secretly placing troops and generals to attack Fujian, Wang Maoru's great worries Zhang Zuolin issued a telegram in Xi'an to announce that he had accepted the reorganization of the National Defense Forces and made a request that the industries and land of the officers under his command would not be confiscated, and the officers under his command would not be held accountable, including those who had cursed Wang Maoru and those who had met with Yu Wang Maoru. Wang Maoru said he would not be investigated and announced that the Northwest Army would be reorganized. The Northwest Army would be reorganized into two divisions, the 29th Division and the 30th Division, the 82nd Infantry Brigade, the 83rd Brigade, the 84th Brigade, the 85th Infantry Brigade and the 86th Brigade Cavalry Brigade.

The commander of the 29th Division was Sun Liechen, with the division chief of staff Zou Fen, the 82nd Brigade commander Zheng Diansheng, the 83rd Brigade commander Cai Pingben, and the 84th Brigade commander Niu Yongfu. He then ordered the 29th Division to be transferred to Beijing and stationed in Beijing with the 8th Division, and accepted reorganization in Beijing.

The commander of the 30th Division was Wu Junsheng, the chief of staff of the division, Ding Chao, the commander of the 85th Brigade, Tang Yulin, the commander of the 86th Brigade, Kan Chaoxi, the commander of the 87th Cavalry Brigade, Wan Fulin, the commander of the 30th Division was reorganized in Xi'an.

The leader of the Northwest Army, Zhang Zuolin, was unwilling to go to Beijing, because he was afraid that Wang Maoru would not be good for him. Wang Maoru laughed and announced the establishment of the National Defense Forces Phoenix Army, with Zhang Zuolin as the commander of the Phoenix Army. The Phoenix Army under the jurisdiction of Wu Junsheng's unit of the 30th Division of the National Defense Forces, Yan Xishan's unit of the 27th Division, and Xiao Yao's southern unit of the 28th Division. After the reorganization of each unit, the troops were mobilized to garrison in Wuhan, Hubei and stationed in the Central Plains.

Zhang Zuolin did not expect that Wang Maoru would divide his soldiers and generals so scattered. His corps personnel structure was the most complex, including the Shaanxi Army, the Jin Army, the Zhi Army, the Hubei Army, and some Anhui Army. It was really a hodgepodge. Moreover, the Shaanxi Army and the Jin Army had just fought a battle, and the two armies were not in the same way. How to command this?

The direct consequence of the battle between Shanxi and Shaanxi was that Shanxi lost the capital to fight for hegemony, the Northwest Army lost and fell into a quagmire, and both sides were both injured. The enemy was so deep that how could Yan Xishan, the commander of the 27th Division, be convinced? Besides, he had just defeated Zhang Zuolin, and wanted Zhang Zuolin to be his superior. How could Yan Xishan accept it? So he expressed dissatisfaction. Wang Maoru hurriedly sent Zhang Kui'an to appease Yan Xishan and told Yan Xishan that the Phoenix Legion seemed powerful, but in fact it was a mess. It depends on whether Zhang Zuolin could do it well. If it was not done well, you can impeach him and let him step down. Xiushuai made such arrangements to let you make the thorn, which made Zhang Zuolin worried at all times.

At this time, Yan Xishan was in a dilemma. He wanted to threaten his resignation, but he was afraid that Wang Maoru would really allow him to resign. Wang Maoru was not unable to do this, so he had to accept Wang Maoru's order and became Zhang Zuolin's subordinate. Not only Yan Xishan was awkward, but Zhang Zuolin also felt awkward, but when he thought that Yan Xishan, the old fox, was going to become his subordinate and under his command, he couldn't help but feel proud.

The Northwest Army was reorganized in November 9, 2018. More than 2 million refugees in Henan, Shandong and Zhili were all pulled down in the three provinces of Nurkan Province, Heilongjiang Province and Dongji Province. The land is vast and sparsely populated, with many wild animals, and a large number of abandoned guns were given to refugees for hunting and spending the winter. At the same time, the abandoned old winter clothes of the National Defense Forces were distributed to the victims in large quantities to ensure that they were fine for the time being.

The Chinese nation is the most survivable race in the world. The death toll of no more than one hundred in the winter of three million refugees is enough to create a miracle in the world. In the cold northeast, the outer Xing'an Mountains at minus 60 degrees below the bottom, there are Chinese people who are full of hope for next year. In the summer drought year, winter must be a cold winter, which is an eternal truth. Not only the temperature in northern China suddenly becomes extremely low at this time, but even the land of North China has become extremely cold. Compared with those people who were taken to the outer Northeast by the National Defense Forces, the people who stayed in North China and Central China live a hard life.

However, all this was nothing to Wang Maoru. The north was decided and there was no resistance north of the Yangtze River. Wang Maoru thus restored all the territory of Yuan Shikai in the early years of the Republic of China. What he did more thoroughly than Yuan Shikai was that he had the Nurkan and Dongji provinces in the northeast, and Anxi and Taixi provinces in the northwest.

Wang Maoru sent a secret message to Zhang Zuolin of Xi'an, telling him that the Phoenix Legion will assemble in Wuhan in May next year, attack Hunan in June, and unify China. He also sent a secret message to Zhao Zengfu, ordering the Kirin Legion to go south in June next year, forcing Zhejiang Governor Lu Yongxiang to accept the reorganization as soon as possible. However, the plan did not change quickly. Later, due to one incident, the Kirin Legion went south early, and the Battle of Zhejiang was recovered by the National Defense Forces.

While Wang Maoru was preparing for the eighth legion, the Tsarist Russian envoy came to Beijing, which forced Wang Maoru to give up his business and deal with the Russian envoy. After all, his lover and illegitimate son came, and more importantly, they came with the identity of Russian princess and crown prince.

The Russian princess and the crown prince did not arrive in China secretly, but made great fanfare. Russian people in China flocked to Beijing and actually spontaneously established a crown prince guard in Beijing to protect the crown prince from being assassinated by Bolshevik spies. On the one hand, the Russians need the help of the Chinese, and on the other hand, the Russians still retain the Great Tsarist Russian chauvinist idea in their hearts, believing that Russia's difficulties are only temporary. Once the Bolshevik rebellion is eliminated, Russia will surely become a European military police again.

But for the Russian princess Tajiyana, her purpose in coming to China is very complicated. She is not an ambitious woman with a weak personality. Even when Sakalina asked her son to serve as the crown prince, Tajiyana didn't know how to refuse. Although she was a crown prince, her status was of great honor, but the responsibility she took was extremely heavy. Tajiyana was not a person who could withstand pressure. She just hoped to escape all this. Another reason she came to China this time was that she hoped to stay in China, protected by Wang Maoru, and his son Andre could also avoid danger.

Therefore, when the Crown Prince Guards were in the name of protecting them, Tajiyana did not refuse this kindness, and she hoped that her children would be safer.
