Chapter 51 Old Military mutiny

Suyi's own army was named after Li Hongzhang's first-class Su Yibo. This Huai army was as brilliant as other Huai's army. However, since the defeat in the First Sino-Japanese War, Su Yi's own army, like other Huai's army declined rapidly. After the Gengzi year, the court decided to train the new army, Su Yi's own army also Just like other Huai Army, it has reached the end of its life.

"It's a good idea to say that you still want to drive us old Huaijun out!" In the garrison of Suyi's own army, a group of large and small generals of Suyi's own army were full of sadness.

"If you can give the old brothers a way to live after the reorganization, it's okay. Although the new army is a little bitter, in order to support a family, my old Chen is reluctant to go to the new army, but you can also see that those new army people make such a big noise about the Third Association, but they are not the ones who make them to serve. Are you from the new army? There is still a place for me to wait there!"

When the next 40-year-old general in the old-style uniform of the Qing court scolded, "Yuan Shikai is not a good thing, and Zhao Dongyun is not a good thing. Some time ago, I went to visit him, but he was fine. A child in his twenties who didn't grow hair dared to refuse to!"

"I also heard that Zhao Dongyun is not a simple product. I heard that it is very useful for Yuan Shikai!" Another 30-year-old general also looked sad: "I don't know how many of us can stay!"

At this time, a short general in the corner of the room, about 30 years old, said, "It's good to leave three or four people!"

"What should I do? Is it possible to eat a lifetime of military food and finally go back to your hometown to farm? The old general surnamed Chen said, "I don't believe it. Zhao Dongyun dares to revolutionize all of us. Humph, how can he recover those big soldiers in the army without us?"

This group of large and small military generals of Suyi's own army said a word, which is also a voice of lament!

Yuan Shikai made up his mind to eliminate the old army and free up military spending to train the new army. The high-level generals among the old army generals had long been comforted and dismissed by Yuan Shikai by various means. Now there is still no group of middle and lower-level generals who are dissatisfied with it, they can't resist Yuan Shikai's determination to lay off the old army.

Of course, if Yuan Shikai allows them to transfer to the new army, they will definitely raise their hands and feet to welcome them, but the old army is already rotten to the bone, and it is absolutely impossible for Yuan Shikai to reorganize a large number of the old army into the new army.

So this name is to say consolidation, but in fact it is to practice new people from cutting!

If there is no accident, some of the more than a dozen military generals in front of them will be transferred to local positions, such as local patrol battalions, county teams and other auxiliary armed forces, and the other part will be directly dismissed. Only one or two will be lucky to be transferred to the new army, and usually this kind of position The job can't last. At most a few years, it will be squeezed out by many Beiyang direct lines, and finally return to the field.

After Zhili was trained in history, the officers above the battalion in the new army in several towns were all from the direct line of Beiyang, while there were only a few officers from the reorganization of the old army of the Huai Army and the Lian army.

There is no way for this person to discuss. In the end, it turned into a complaint, but some people said: "No matter what, we still have to fight for it. Isn't Zhao Dongyun going to reorganize us? We can't be abolished as soon as we come, otherwise Zhao Dongyun will not be able to take it.

At that time, if you are surrounded by many soldiers, you may not be able to get a chance to enter the new army!"

After all, the prospects of these generals are not good, but those big soldiers will also end up not very well. In the eyes of the officers of the Beiyang New Army, these old soldiers are either smokers or old and weak, which does not meet the recruitment requirements of the Beiyang New Army at all, so in the process of reorganization, these old soldiers will be with their superiors. They also lost their jobs.

When everyone discussed how to wrap up the soldiers to make trouble to blackmail Zhao Dongyun to get the opportunity to enter the new army, the short general who spoke earlier quietly retreated.

"Hmm, a group of ignorant buns!" This short general is about 30 years old and is relatively thick. After looking at the cat's waist coming out with a horse coat, he looked at the empty street, and then gritted his teeth: "Dead Taoist friends will not die. Now everyone can't protect themselves, so don't blame me for using you as a stepping stone!"

After a while, he appeared in front of Zhao Dong's plane: "Zhao Staff Officer, what I said is true. Chen Dahai and others have agreed to gather the soldiers these days to fight against the integration. They also said that if Commander Zhao intends to force them, they will encourage the soldiers to make trouble!"

Zhao Dongping heard that Su Yi's own army was planning a military confrontation, and even began to prepare for the camp and mutiny. At present, he was also stunned.

"Can Li Dusi take this statement seriously? So Chen Dahai and others are really going to make a mutiny? Zhao Dongping quickly asked. Although he had gone to Guangzong with Zhao Dongyun to quell the rebellion and had been in the Beiyang New Army for nearly a year, he was a young man. Uncontrollably, he suddenly became nervous.

"That can still be fake. I don't dare to come to you to make up lies!" Li Dusi said so.

Li Du's name is Li Yong, who is a member of Su Yi's own army. Seeing that Zhili's new training is about to be in full swing, he is not like dying with a group of colleagues. Humph, he wants to wrap soldiers to make a mutiny, and he doesn't see who Zhao Dongyun is. He is a cruel man who killed thousands of people in Guangzong. It is estimated that They are still eager for Suyi's own army to make a mutiny, and then he has an excuse to directly suppress disarmament.

Li Yong thinks that he has a family and a house. The old mother, wife and children still have to rely on him to support him. If there is no errands, the whole family will be hungry. In this case, he wants to resist it and simply take the initiative to lean on it. By the way, let's talk about the Huaihua of Chen Dahai and others. At that time, Zhao Dong may not Yun will give himself a job in the new army.

Li Yong wanted to carry out political speculation, so he came to Zhao Dongping's confidant Zhao Dongping's house overnight and exaggerated the plots of Chen Hai and others.

Although Zhao Dongping went through a lot of battles, he still couldn't calm down after hearing the news and immediately said, "Follow me!"

Then Zhao Dongping took Li Yong directly to Zhao Dongyun's house. When the housekeeper Xu saw that Zhao Dong was nervous and said that there was an urgent matter to find Zhao Dongyun, he also thought something big had happened, so he asked a little maid upstairs to call someone.

It's just that Zhao Dongyun, dressed in casual clothes, came downstairs: "At night, what's so urgent!"

Zhao Dongping immediately came forward and said, "There was an accident on Suyi's own army. Someone threatened the soldiers to make a mutiny!"

Zhao Dongyun frowned when he heard the words: "What's going on? Speak carefully!"

At present, Zhao Dongping said, "This is Li Dusi of Su Yi's own army. He said that tonight, Chen Dahai and others gathered more than a dozen generals of Su Yi's own army to conspire to make a mutiny with soldiers to resist integration!"

Then he said to Li Yong, "Tell the matter again!"

At present, Li Yong talked about the matter again. When he spoke, most of them were true as before. For example, Chen Dahai and others were dissatisfied with the consolidation, and Chen Dahai and others tried to wrap up soldiers to make a mutiny, but his words distorted the goals of Chen Dahai and others' mutiny.

The fundamental purpose of Chen Haihai and others who want to carry out a mutiny is not to resist the consolidation, because they know that they can't resist. They just want to take this opportunity to enter the new army.

However, Zhao Dongyun didn't care about this. After listening to Li Yong's words, he looked at this short and strong Li Yong and felt that not everyone was so stubborn. Li Yong in front of him was very knowledgeable.

Zhao Dongyun chose to ignore the fact that Li Yong betrayed his colleagues.

This is the real world. People are selfish. It's not a big deal for Li Yong to betray his colleagues for his future, especially his colleagues who are still preparing to make a mutiny against Zhao Dongyun.

"Li Dusi, you have worked hard all the way. You have done a good job this time. I'm afraid your help will be indispensable in the process of the reorganization of Suyi's own army in the future!" Zhao Dongyun said this. Although this was too obvious, it also accepted Li Yong's support.

Li Yong was also happy to hear this. He secretly said that his job was probably saved and he could enter the new army. If he could do it under the command of Zhao Dongyun, who is said to be an upstart in Beiyang, he must be very capable in the future.

At this time, he heard Zhao Dongyun say to Zhao Dongping, "Dongping, go and call Lin Yongquan and Pei Lianying and let them take the second machine gun battalion to Suyi's own military camp to stand by!"

Then he looked at Li Yong and said, "You stay and come with me later!"

Wait, he turned upstairs, and not many times he put on his military uniform and went downstairs. After going out of the gate, several guards who heard the news were already waiting.

At present, including Li Yong, all six people turned over and went straight to the headquarters of the Third Association!

Although it has been more than half a month since its establishment, Zhao Dongyun's troops are very few. At present, there are only people who used to build machine gun battalions. After the new machine gun battalions were abolished, the first battalion of the three machine gun battalions under its jurisdiction was allocated to the left town of the standing army, and the second battalion was taken by Zhao Dongyun. Three associations, the third battalion has two teams transferred to the vanguard of the right army of Wuwei, leaving only two teams plus the newly recruited two teams to form the new third battalion of machine guns, which is under the direct jurisdiction of Yuan Shikai.

And dozens of officials, clerks, guards and other people from the headquarters of the newly built machine gun battalion followed Zhao Dongyun directly to the Third Association.

In this way, in addition to those officers, they can use a machine gun battalion and a personal unit of the auxiliary headquarters. In addition to the soldiers operating machine guns, there are also a considerable number of soldiers carrying rifles, and the soldiers have also received infantry training.

At the beginning, there was a simulated infantry team used to cooperate with machine gun training in the new machine gun battalion, so the second battalion of machine guns also had a certain independent combat capability.

So, when Zhao Dongyun first arrived at the headquarters of the Association and brought more than 20 soldiers, he connected the second machine gun battalion led by Lin Yongquan and went straight to Suyi's army camp.

Zhao Dongyun wants to see who dares to mutiny with him!
