Chapter 212 Parting the Land

It's okay for Wang Yingkai and others to ask him to withdraw troops from Baodi and Ji County. After all, if they don't withdraw, they can come to the capital at any time. It's also uneasy to kill Wang Yingkai, but now they still want to withdraw their troops from Tangshan?

Did you lead 50,000 troops into the customs for two months, killed and injured more than a thousand, spent millions of taels of military expenses, and didn't get a hair out of it, so he returned to Fengtian?

Zhao Dongyun didn't blame himself, and his Soviet generals had to spray him to death!

Zhao Dongyun immediately turned black. Since Wang Yingkai said that there was no need to cover it up, Zhao Dongyun was rude: "Today I put my words here. You can ask Tangshan, but you have to step over the bodies of tens of thousands of soldiers under my command!"

Everyone was still kind-spoken just now, but Wang Yingkai and others would think that Zhao Dongyun would turn his face when he said it!

Isn't this a negotiation? Naturally, the lion opened his mouth to make a random offer. It's okay for you Zhao Dongyun to disagree, and say such a tough word!

This made Wang Yingkai silent for a while!

Wang Yingkai wanted Zhao Dongyun to withdraw from Tangshan, naturally in order not to let himself go south to fight, he was killed directly into the capital by Zhao Dongyun

However, Duan Qirui and Wang Shizhen are watching a good show. It has nothing to do with them whether Zhao Dongyun withdraws or not. Although one of them is the chief of the army and the other is the deputy director of the army, this is just a false reputation. After the negotiation is over, they have to lead the army south. Wang Yingkai has promised them in advance. The position of the commander of the First Army and the commander of the Second Army will lead the army to attack Liangjiang and Huguang respectively.

However, it's not good to see the stalemate. After all, it's not good for everyone to break down, so Duan Qirui coughed softly and said, "This Tangshan is such an urgent place, and the Fuyuan Arsenal is also there. If you don't order soldiers to guard the big guy, you can't worry. In this way, I think Ziyang can leave one in Tangshan. Town, other troops will be transferred back to the three eastern provinces to bomb the ground!"

Wang Shizhen also nodded and said, "I think so!"

These two people said it easily, because their future territory is actually not in the north. Needless to say, the three eastern provinces in the northern provinces belong to Zhao Dongyun. Although the generals on the ground of Zhili are there, and Wang Shizhen is still the governor of Zhili appointed by the former Qing Dynasty, in fact, except for the area east of Tangshan, Zhili was killed by Zhao Dong. Outside the cloud control, other places are under the actual control of Wang Yingkai.

The place in Rehe is currently under the control of Wu Fengling, but the foundation of that place is too poor, and there is really nothing to argue about. Shandong is now operated by Zhang Huaizhi, and Wang Ruxian is in charge of Henan, and these two people have successively expressed their allegiance to Wang Yingkai. That is to say, most of Zhili, Shandong and Henan belong to Wang Yingkai's faction in the northern provinces. The three eastern provinces and the northeast of Zhili are the territory of Zhao Dongyun's faction.

Wu Fengling of Rehe belongs to a neutral faction.

Then the problem comes. Wang Shizhen and Duan Qirui have empty troops, but there is no actual territory!

If Wang Yingkai doesn't arrange them well, they will definitely go against it. Therefore, Wang Yingkai's solution is quite simple and effective, that is, he has given Duan Qirui the position of governor of the two rivers and Wang Shizhen the position of governor of Huguang.

Of course, these two sites are still in the hands of the Southern Federal Empire. If Duan Qirui and Wang Shizhen want to take these two sites, they have to grab them by themselves.

This not only solves the contradiction between Wang Shizhen and Duan Qirui and Wang Yingkai, but also allows Duan Qirui and Wang Shizhen to take the initiative to march south to attack the rebels.

Wang Yingkai's abacus was jingling, but Duan Qirui and Wang Shizhen are not good at stubbles. They were forced to fight south whether they wanted to or not, but they were not willing to let Wang Yingkai in the rear be better, so the two of them opened their mouths to support Zhao Dongyun to save Tangshan, for nothing else, just to let Zhao Dongyun stay Insert a knife in the gate, which can stab Wang Yingkai's heart at any time.

After Wang Yingkai's face changed several times, he said, "Ziyang, it's okay if you don't withdraw from Tangshan, but the troops stationed in the customs must not exceed one association, and the rest of the troops must be withdrawn from the customs!"

In Wang Yingkai's view, this proposal has made a huge concession, but in Zhao Dongyun's view, this condition is still difficult to accept!

However, in this current situation, there is no need to fight for energy. As long as Tangshan can be preserved, then one association will be stationed. At that time, he will deploy heavy troops in Shanhaiguan, and once Tangshan changes. With the support of the Beijing-Feng Railway, his troops can quickly reinforce Tangshan.

This kind of strategic deployment may not work for attacking Beijing, but it is still acceptable as a defense.

Immediately he nodded: "Then it's a mixed association!"

He doesn't want outsiders to play any word games in this kind of negotiation. There is a big difference between a association and a mixed association. Only a mixed association can fight independently, and an infantry association does not have this ability!

Wang Yingkai also added his own restrictions in time: "The number of troops must not exceed 5,000! Whether it is a patrolman or a regular army, this force is included in it!"

Zhao Dongyun nodded in agreement!

Wang Yingkai is still a little unconvinced at this time. Without Tangshan and other territory, it still has some impact on his Zhili's strength. However, it is impossible to let Zhao Dongyun withdraw from Tangshan unless he launches a war and has to defeat Zhao Dongyun.

Now it is the limit that Zhao Dongyun can reduce the number of troops stationed!

If Tangshan has only 5,000 troops, then Wang Yingkai does not need to worry about Zhao Dongyun's army from marching to Beijing from Tangshan at any time.

After saying this, Wang Yingkai said again, "Now that we want to create a republican system, this military system will also be changed. I heard that the southern part has been reorganized and arranged, and we can't have the same number as before. We have to have a unified number to let the Chinese people know that my Beiyang is a whole."

This unified number is not harmful, so Zhao Dongyun and others naturally have no opinion. Immediately Wang Yingkai said, "All kinds of numbers are not used in the past. The unified name is changed to 'Central Army' and the name cannot follow the towns and associations of the former Qing Dynasty. They can be changed to divisions, brigades, regiments, etc.

The same is true, changing the first level of the former Qing Dynasty to a general, changing the second level to a lieutenant colonel, and the third level to a second level to a second lieutenant, and the non-commissioned officers and soldiers remain unchanged. Other levels are inferred in order. As for the military rank label, I think it's good that Ziyang has made it in front of you. I think it can directly promote the use of the whole army!"

After listening to Dongyun, he smiled. Wang Yingkai ignored the small section. The name of this number and military rank is normal, but the military rank mark actually directly adopts its own Fengtian logo. If it is placed in later generations, it will be regarded as infringement!

"Now there is no need to change more in the several divisions under us. The first town under me has been changed to the first division, the second town of Wu Fengling has been changed to the second division, Ziyang, your third town has been changed to the third division, Zhiquan, your fourth town has been changed to the fourth division on Zhang Huaizhi has been changed to the fifth division, and your sixth town has been changed to The sixth division, and then the remnants of the seventh town were changed to the seventh division. Then Wang Ruxian's 29th Mixed Association was changed to the 8th Division, and the two towns of Fengtian under Ziyang were also changed to the 9th Division and 10th Division, and the Cavalry Association was changed to the 1st Cavalry Brigade.

As for the several mixed associations under the big guy, it is also a unified arrangement. The first mixed association of the standing army under me has been changed to the first mixed brigade of the army, the mixed association under Zhiquan has been changed to the second mixed brigade, and the left army of General Ma Yukun will also be changed to the third mixed association and Ziyang, the two mixed associations under you. Changed to the fourth mixed brigade and the fifth mixed brigade.

Jiang Gui's Jiang Fangjun has now retreated to Shandong, and you can also give him a number of the Sixth Mixed Association!"

The change of these numbers is not very meaningful, that is, the name is changed a little. Wang Yingkai will not be able to command other troops because of the unified number, let alone give you a central army number, and then he will pay to help you support the army.

To put it bluntly, these are all face-to-face efforts!

So everyone accepted it with a smile!

After such a unified number, you will find that there are many direct and collateral troops in Beiyang, including ten division-level troops, six mixed associations and one cavalry brigade

The strength of these troops is also quite different. For example, the reorganized Wang Ruxian's Eighth Division is actually just an empty shelf, with less than 4,000 troops. He was given a division-level unit number because Wang Ruxian controlled Henan, and this expansion was certain, and Wang Yingkai, in order to further attract Wang Ruxian, this It is normal to give a teacher a number.

For example, Ma Yukun and Jiang Guiti, two Beiyang collaterals, have expressed their loyalty to the Beiyang Republican Government, but they are still semi-independent, and their troops are also old troops, which cannot be compared with other Beiyang generals.

Now the real combat power of Beiyang is still the old army formed in Yuan Shikai's era, that is, from the 1st Division to the 6th Division. As for the 7th Division, it has been disabled. Although Wang Yingkai has collected the remnants to reorganize, it is not so easy to recover the previous combat power.

As for Zhao Dongyun's original Fengtian troops, that is, the 9th and 10th Divisions in the new number, although there is no shortage of personnel and equipment, the formation time is relatively late, and recently a large number of personnel and equipment have been transferred to form the fourth mixed brigade and the fifth mixed brigade, which has a great impact on strength, so combat effectiveness Generally speaking, it is naturally not as good as the third division of Zhao Dongyun's old army.

Compared with the 10th Division and 7th Brigade under the name of the Northern Republican Government, how many troops are there under the Southern Federal Empire made by Zhang Zhidong?
