Chapter 50 Reorganize the Old Army

Compared with the fierce competition for the positions of the fifth and sixth standards, the gunpowder competition between the six battalion officers is much lighter. Zhao Dongyun also took the opportunity to push his two direct lines up. One of them is Gu Lanyu, the leader of the second battalion of the former right wing of the Wuwei Right Army. This time, he was recommended by Zhao Dongyun as the first battalion management belt of the sixth bid. .

The second is Lin Pingxiong, the former leader of the second battalion of the right wing of the Wuwei Right Army, who was recommended by Zhao Dongyun as the management belt of the second battalion of the sixth standard.

Except for the fierce competition between the above six pipe belts and two unified belts, a total of eight chiefs are relatively fierce, but few people are interested in those deputy positions, which is related to the lack of attention in the Beiyang system!

Those deputy bosses don't like it, but for Zhao Dongyun, it is a good place to arrange his direct subordinates. First of the position, the grade is high enough to make a transition. He can also wait for the opportunity in the future. When there is a vacant position, Zhao Dongyun can also move to the position of chief officer for them.

Second, put your direct line to the deputy of the army, which can effectively contain those air-descending chief officials. Who knows whether it will be Wang Yingkai or Feng Guozhang? If these people come to fight with Zhao Dongyun, Zhao Dongyun also needs to ensure that someone can contain them.

So he put Kong Guanbei, the general manager of the law enforcement department of the former newly built machine gun battalion, to the position of the fifth standard gang, and then Pei Lianying, the second battalion of the former newly built machine gun battalion, was transferred to the sixth standard as the gang.

In addition, he also found more than a dozen direct lines from the original newly built machine gun battalion and the second battalion of the right wing of the Wuwei Right Army, some of whom served as battalion leaders and some as team officers.

Those bosses who led and led the positions had no choice but to compete for Zhao Dongyun and tried their best to get two leading positions, but Zhao Dongyun, the battalion leaders, team officers and platoon leaders below, are not polite. As long as they are their own cronies, they will be promoted and appointed.

This is based on controlling the team and platoon level, so as to override those upcoming belts and generals.

When Zhao Dongyun appointed his cronies, naturally there were other people who found him through various relationships to find the real lack.

In a restaurant in Baoding, Zhao Dongping just entered, and a man in a coat beside him came in: "Brother Zhao, please forgive me for being far away!"

Zhao Dongping smiled and said, "Brother Ren is in love. Let's go in and talk!"

After the two went in, they chatted again. Ren Zhengen said, "To be honest, brother, I have really lived like a year in the vanguard. Although there is a battalion management belt, the large and small battalions are under the control. I heard that the Third Association of the Standing Army has been established, and Commander Zhao is also a Beiyang talent admired by Ren. I can't wait to immediately serve under Commander Zhao!"

Zhao Dongping has heard a lot of similar words, so Zhao Dongyun did not change color at all after listening to it, but picked up the teacup and took a sip to listen to Ren Zhengen to continue.

Since Zhao Dongyun was appointed as the leader of the Third Association, as the direct relative of Zhao Dongyun, Zhao Dongping naturally followed Zhao Dongyun to serve in the Third Association. Based on Zhao Dongping's low grade and in order to pave a fast promotion path for Zhao Dongping, he did not care that Zhao Dongping was young and directly appointed him as The staff officer of the sixth target.

The grade of the staff officer is not high, and there is no real power in the Beiyang system. The staff officer ranked after the deputy has no real power, so this appointment will not attract the attention of the superiors. After a year or two of this transition, Zhao Dongyun can carry out the next step and appoint Zhao Dongping to appoint a battalion management.

However, although Zhao Dongping's position is an irrelevant standard staff officer, he is Zhao Dongyun's direct cousin. This special relationship makes him the spokesperson of Zhao Dongyun.

For example, many people who want to seek positions in the Third Association have found Zhao Dongping.

After all, it is difficult for Zhao Dongyun to decide the positions of the two leaders and six leaders alone, but for other deputy positions and low-level positions, Zhao Dongyun alone has the final say, because this is the power that belongs to the unified leader, and even Yuan Shikai will not easily waver in this power.

A large Beiyang system requires various rules to maintain its operation. Yuan Shikai can decide the wing leader and leader, while Duan Qirui and others can intervene to lead and lead the candidates, but the appointment power of the team officers will belong to Zhao Dongyun, the chief officer of the army.

So those officers who want to seek the position of third association gang leader, team officer or even platoon leader have to come to Zhao Dongyun's doorway. In fact, Zhao Dongyun is not something they can meet. They also have to send a message to Zhao Dongyun's close subordinates.

And Zhao Dongping is the most suitable person among them.

The next day, Zhao Dongping appeared in Zhao Dongyun's mansion and brought a list. The people on this list came to Zhao Dongping to operate during this period and wanted to transfer to the middle and low-level officers of the Third Association. Of course, some of them openly said that they wanted to invest in Zhao Dongyun, while others sent some money to Zhao Dongping.

Zhao Dongyun looked at the list in his hand. Some of the names on it were impressive, and some of them had not heard of, but the only certainty was that these people wanted to serve in the Third Association.

Just as countless officers in Zuozhen, the Standing Army, including Zhao Dongyun at that time, wanted to squeeze in, after the establishment of the Third Association this year, there were countless middle and low-level officers who wanted to squeeze in.

This situation reminded Zhao Dongyun of last autumn. At that time, he also ran around like this and tried to enter the left town of the standing army. However, at that time, the standing army did not go, but got a position in the right army of the Wuwei, which was also regarded as the east and west of the sun.

A year can change a lot of things. A year ago, Duan Qirui was just an alternate magistrate, with only the third grade, but now he is already an alternate Taoist and a second grade. And I was also promoted from the fourth grade to the third grade, from the alternate magistrate to the alternate magistrate. This official position is actually the same as Duan Qirui last year!

And this is the benefit of the Beiyang army expansion for the Beiyang system, because Yuan Shikai's expansion of the Beiyang army can make his group of Beiyang generals rise together.

"This Ren Zhengen is the eleventh martial arts student. Although he has been idle for a year in Shandong, I think he is still quite talented in his words!" Zhao Dongping said, "In addition, although Hua Zhenji is a little younger, he has just returned from studying in Japan this year, but he is from Zhejiang. After returning to China, he has not been able to seek a position in Zhejiang Province, so he has been serving in Beijing and found us a few days ago!"

Zhao Dongyun became curious when he heard this: "A non-commissioned officer in Japan? Li Zejun's classmate?"

"It can't be said that he is a classmate. Li Tong studied walking, and this Hua Zhenji studied riding!" Zhao Dongping explained.

"Learn from cavalry, it's not easy to arrange!" Zhao Dongyun muttered, but it was rare for a non-commissioned officer to participate in Japan. It was not easy for him to refuse directly. He immediately ticked his name and asked him to be a standard staff officer first. If he had the ability, he would arrange it later.

Zhao Dongyun has selected more than a dozen people on this list. Zhao Dongyun, who is basically capable, will not refuse. Anyway, the Third Association lacks a large number of officers now, and experienced officers are urgently needed.

Throughout late September, Zhao Dongyun was busy recruiting troops and attracting his cronies everywhere, but he actually did nothing like reorganize the old army to train the new army and recruit new soldiers.

By the beginning of October, after nearly half a month of competition, the appointment of the chief officials of the Third Association finally came to an end. As the first to support the preparation of the Third Association, Duan Qirui and Zhao Dongyun faction, under Duan Qirui's efforts, although facing the attack of multiple factions, they still closed a unified belt and three management belts. Position.

Chen Guangyuan, who had a good relationship with Feng Guozhang and had a good relationship with Wang Yingkai, defeated many candidates and eliminated Xu Bangjie, and was finally appointed as the fifth standard leader.

When Xu Bangjie was rejected, Duan Qirui, who had no one to push, lost his temper on the spot and did not elect others. He directly suggested to Yuan Shikai to create the Third Association. The personnel arrangement has been unresolved for a long time. I'm afraid that the urgent need to delay will affect the Third Cooperation Training Army. In order to let the training of the Third Association be launched quickly, it can be done by the Third Association. Zhao Dongyun, the leader of the association, is also in charge of the sixth standard and unified belt. After the third association is on the right track, a member will be selected to take office in the unified belt.

This proposal makes Wang Yingkai, Feng Guozhang and others eager to curse!

No one under Duan Qirui can compete for this position, so he forced Zhao Dongyun out to occupy a unified position. Isn't it to bully the small, regardless of the rules? According to what you said, can Feng Guozhang, Wang Shizhen and others also pull down their faces to compete for Zhao Dongyun's leadership position?

If they all act like this, won't the many rules in Beiyang be messed up? Haven't you seen a large number of middle-level officers staring at those limited unified positions?

You, Duan Qirui, are good, and you still have a part-time job!

Yuan Shikai has also been annoyed by the personnel appointment of the Third Association recently. For him, the officers of the first faction are his direct line of Yuan, and there is no problem for anyone to be the leader. But now you don't agree with him. It can't be settled for nearly half a month, so he doesn't want to continue to delay. He agreed to Duan Qirui's suggestion on the spot.

After the two unified positions were decided, several management positions also belonged to. Lin Pingxiong, who was recommended by Zhao Dongyun, served as the first battalion management belt of the sixth standard and Gu Lanyu, who was also a direct subordinate of Zhao Dongyun, was successfully appointed as the second battalion management belt of the sixth standard, and Liu Fu, recommended by Duan Qirui, also became the first battalion management belt of the fifth standard. The other three management positions were divided by other factions.

and Feng Guozhang's old Shi Congbin served as the second battalion management belt of the fifth standard.

Yang Baoshan, who walked Wang Yingkaimen Road, got the fifth standard and the third battalion management belt.

As for the sixth standard, the third battalion management position was obtained by Sun Hanchen. His back scene is relatively complicated, and he has distant relatives with Wang Yingkai, but he is also relatively close to Wang Shizhen.

It is only worth noting that although one leadership and three management positions are divided by other factions, Zhao Dongyun took advantage of his third chief officer to arbitrarily assign deputy positions of troops at all levels and grassroots officers below the team officers.

And this is the foundation of Zhao Dongyun's future management of the Third Association!

When the competition for the important positions of the Third Association, which had been noisy for nearly half a month, Zhao Dongyun turned his attention to the new army.

If you want to train the Third Association, you have to abolish those old armies first, otherwise you can't spare enough military money to train the Third Association. Therefore, Zhao Dongyun's most important task today is to lay off the Huai Army in the name of consolidation!
