However, the establishment of Wu Junsheng's division is different from that of ordinary army divisions: usually army divisions have two infantry brigades, each brigade has two infantry regiments, and the division has one artillery regiment and one cavalry regiment. However, the 29th Division had one infantry brigade and one more cavalry brigade, which was a rarity at that time.

This is no wonder to others, because this number was formed on the basis of Lao Wu's original troops, and Zhang Zuolin just gave him a name. But even so, Wu Junsheng is still grateful to Lao Zhang, because this has fulfilled a dream he has had for many years!

Therefore, when he and Han Linchun were ordered to replace Xu Lanzhou as the commander of the 1st Division of the Army, Wu Junsheng willingly did not have the slightest objection, so that Commander Feng Delin, Bao Guiqing, and even Prime Minister Duan Qirui, who estimated that Zhang and Wu would turn their faces because of improper division of interests, could not see through this situation.

Isn't it just a false name? Will Lao Wu be stupid enough not to give Lao Zhang a piece of the pie? I don't dare to say that the army of the two brigades in Hei Province can always do it, right?

But Lao Wu had other ideas.

It can be seen from Zhang Zuolin's calm attitude to the central government to fight for the position of division commander for him, Lao Zhang's heart is already very big, and he dares not to take the central government in his eyes! But didn't the central government do it obediently? It can be seen that the political climate of the country has quietly changed. Compared with Lao Zhang's wrist, he is by no means an opponent! Even if he is given another brigade, he is far from being Zhang Zuolin's opponent. It is better to have a bad relationship with Zhang Zuolin, who has stretched out his fangs, than to be obedient and get some benefits.

This is the opinion of Dong Yunsheng, Wu Junsheng's chief of staff, and represents the meaning of the vast majority of people in the army. There is always such a person in the world, and his respect for the strong comes from the heart. With Zhang Zuolin's strength, Wu Junsheng has consciously been willing to be his subordinate, so Lao Wu will sit back and watch Han Linchun absorb the army of Hei Province.

By gathering the troops of Yingshun and Ba Ying'e, and making these high-ranking generals of Laohei Province become complete commanders, Zhang Zuolin indirectly seized Heilongjiang Province as his own, and since then has taken substantial steps to transform into the "king of the northeast".

The reason why Han Linchun was forcibly arranged by Lao Zhang as the commander of the first division was mainly because of his anger: in the Guards Division, only he had the highest military rank, and Lao Zhang had just encountered the Central Committee's rejection of the Guards Brigade's request for promotion, and he was greatly embarrassed, so he had to compete in this appointment. Do you show me a look? I also color it once. Han Linchun's qualifications are not high, and he is only a major general, but I have to appoint him as the division commander who should be a lieutenant general, see what you do?

Disagree? Looking at the erosion of Jiang Province, at this stage, except for me Lao Zhang, who can still turn the tide?

However, Han Linchun stood out among a series of veterans in the Feng army, which inevitably made some people dissatisfied. Among the 27th Division, which has many veterans, there are many people who are qualified to be the commander of this division, such as Yang Yuting and General Senator Yang are very uncomfortable. In his mind, he is the best choice for the commander of the first division.

Considering Han Linchun's sudden rise to strength, Guo Songling, who was originally also a minister of His Royal Highness, would inevitably have ideas. According to the law of human nature: it is sad to face a good friend who is not mixed well, but what is even more sad is that a good friend meets a better opportunity.

Zhang Hanqing didn't want these discordant sounds to interfere with his development plans. In history, the tragedy of Guo Songling's tail and Yang Yuting's arrogance is what he has been thinking about. The loss caused to the Bong family and the country by the withering of these two most talented figures in the prime of life in history is enormous, and although he will not be obsessed with it, it is necessary to systematically eliminate this possible influence.

Grandpa Mao once said a very famous saying: "Wherever there is a crowd, there are left, center, and right." "It is a novelist to unrealistically think that he can envelop everyone by virtue of the spirit of the king brought by the crossing, and as a leader, it is a kind of ability to coordinate the relationship between subordinates and create constraints in a timely manner. Zhang Zuolin has the means to control Sun Liechen, Zhang Jinghui, and Zhang Zuoxiang, so he should have a way to make Han Linchun, Guo Songling and others form a positive competitive atmosphere, instead of tearing each other down.

Han Linchun is known for his loyalty, and he is a veteran who follows him, so let him become an independent pole; Guo Songling has the ability and means, but don't let him take promotion for granted, to take it for granted---- in history, he trusted the other party too much to hand over almost all his belongings to him, so that he came up with the crime of mutiny---- let's call it a crime. If he had less power, he might have acted less arrogantly.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Hanqing still felt that it was good to let Han Linchun control an army cleanly---- Han Linchun was the first person to follow him and have a reputation in the military circles, his rise to the top was also the best advertisement for himself---- follow me, it is definitely the right choice!"

In addition, it is not without the meaning of restraining Guo Songling---- Lao Guo is still a little uneasy in history, there is an example, maybe it will be more stimulating for him. But in order to comfort Lao Guo, Guo Songling still returned to the Guards Division, but he had been promoted to deputy division commander, and when he was away, he had full authority to act as the work of the Guards Division, which could be regarded as a consolation for him.

So Guo Songling has to wait for the opportunity.

Even if it is an independent pole, Zhang Hanqing is not ready to hand over the army to someone, but a team. Han Linchun became the division commander, and Wang Yizhe was transferred from the Guards Division to serve as his director of the Political Department. Wang Yizhe was followed by half of the cadres of the Political Teaching Corps, after all, the reorganization of the First Division had a long way to go.

At present, Zhang Hanqing's nominal guard division is composed as follows: four infantry regiments of Lao Dizi, three infantry battalions of Xu Lanzhou were reorganized as auxiliary troops, five cavalry battalions and six battalions of Lao Dizi cavalry battalion were formed into two cavalry regiments. These are already in the system, and the officers have all been "approved" by the teaching regiment. According to the standard army division structure of the 1st Division, 2nd Brigade and 4th Regiment, plus one artillery regiment, one engineer regiment, one cavalry regiment and one baggage regiment, the extra cavalry regiment was given to the first division.

The addition of the 1st Infantry Brigade and the 4th Cavalry Brigade of Heilongjiang Province made Zhang Hanqing's strength swell all of a sudden. There are a mix of people and horses, and there are some good and bad. But it doesn't matter, Han Linchun's first division wants to draw the main force from the guard division to build a new one, and the method of "mixing sand" can be used to stick these troops from the "****" together like kneading dough. What Zhang Hanqing has to consider is actually how to effectively control this new division in his hands.

In fact, the guard division cannot be put on the stage, Zhang Hanqing is clear. In this era, it is possible to privately expand the army and buy horses, and there is no problem with the entire battalion and company, but it is difficult to obtain a structure. The army is a product of the state, and although it is controlled by warlords everywhere, after all, the righteousness is still there. No matter how hard Zhang Hanqing and others work and how strong their strength is, they never have a chance to be recognized. In the long run, the morale of the military will inevitably be slack.

Now that there is such an opportunity, of course, it is necessary to put the men and horses here justifiably, and at most regard the First Division as the descendant or eldest son of the original Guards Brigade. As a result, the four battalions of the 1st Infantry Brigade of the former Ba Ying'e were added to the four regiments of the Guards Division, one battalion of the 4th Cavalry Brigade of the former Yingshun was exchanged for the 1st Division's cavalry regiment, and the other battalion was exchanged for the Guards Division's divisional cavalry regiment...

The remaining five infantry battalions and three cavalry battalions (the original infantry brigade was three regiments and nine battalions, and the cavalry brigade was five battalions) and the four additional infantry battalions of the first division, one cavalry battalion and one cavalry battalion of the guards division were then chaotically reorganized, and a total of three infantry regiments and one cavalry regiment (four battalions), plus Xu Lanzhou's reorganized regiment, which was the foundation of the first division.

After some complicated cross-hatching, a new First Division was born. There are troops left by Xu Lanzhou, including the Guards Brigade, Ba Ying'e, and Yingshun, but the main officers are all from the Teaching Regiment and the Guards Brigade. It is believed that under the continuous education of Han Linchun and the teaching group, this unit will soon be surnamed Zhang.

Li Jinglin, the chief of staff who was originally very prestigious in Xu Lanzhou's First Division, was also retained, so as to stabilize the morale of the army to the greatest extent and facilitate the reorganization. Li Jinglin was obsessed with martial arts and was not enthusiastic about politics, which was one of the reasons why he was able to miraculously survive when the officers up and down the first division were rotated cleanly.

The task of the Guards Division was to train new politically qualified and militarily competent officers, and then to install them in various posts at an opportune time. Zhang Hanqing believed that as long as the people of the Guards Division go out, the unit they belong to will definitely belong to the Guards Division and the People's Party in the future.

As for whether he will be hollowed out, I didn't think about it. Whether it is Han Linchun or Guo Songling, they are their own irons, and they are temporarily dependent on themselves to be able to live a nourishing life. There is no need to care about the gains and losses of this position, and grasping power is not done by hanging on to one's position. In any case, he is also the chairman of the People's Party, and as long as he grasps the party power well, he is not afraid that he will not be able to control the army.

In addition, his current political and training system for the army has gradually taken shape: although Wang Yizhe is the director of the political department of the first division, he still concurrently works as a guard division; The training work of the two divisions was handed over to Ji Yiqiao, and the two actual commanders, Han Linchun and Guo Songling, were only in charge of the work of the headquarters. In this way, Zhang Hanqing was able to break away from his heavy daily work and look at the domestic political situation from a higher perspective.

Han and Wang stayed away from Mukden, and their positions in the Xinmin Land Reform Committee were replaced. After dozens of people were promoted in the firing line of Xinmin County's administrative reform and land reform affairs, the general trend of the county was basically in their own hands, and they did not have to bow down in person.

Zhang Zuolin was the overseer, controlling the 27th Division, the first reorganized division, and the Guards Division, and his younger brother Wu Junsheng was guarding in Heilongjiang, and his in-law Bao Guiqing served as the overseer and governor of Hei Province, and his power was hot; Zhang Hanqing, as a young marshal, is also in charge of the army, and in charge of the people, and also drums up a powerful people's party, naturally there are people who are willing to surround it, which is also human nature, after all, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. What's more, he now has half of the power of Fengtian in his hands.

Later, Zhang Zuolin exercised the power of supervising the army, and successively incorporated the back patrol team stationed in Taonan and the right patrol team stationed in Malongtan in Fengcheng, and finally made the four traditional armed forces of Fengtian become Feng Delin and himself. In terms of absolute strength, Feng Delin is already significantly weaker than Zhang Zuolin.

The units of the 27th Division and the troops on the rear and right flanks surrounded Feng Delin's 28th Division in a semi-encircled manner, which made Feng Delin feel Zhang Zuolin's momentum for the first time. With the support of a stable gun, Zhang Zuolin is now able to do something he has wanted to do for a long time.
