Oh, that's big news. Duan Qirui was very interested in getting the truth from Zhang Hanqing's mouth, he squinted his eyes and said: "Songpo is registered with the president, who in the office is so short-sighted and dares to wipe his face?" ”

Zhang Hanqing replied: "Speaking of which, this matter has something to do with the little nephew, and it is not a big deal. Shibo knew that there was a lack of ordnance in his father's army, so he finally asked someone to dig a few technicians from the office, but it couldn't be regarded as digging a corner, right? They are all in the Beiyang lineage, and they are all working for the country, but the office just doesn't let go.

Uncle Cai Shishu boasted about Haikou in front of his little nephew, but he was not let go by the office, of course he was angry. What's even more infuriating is that Uncle Cai Shishu also made an appointment with Uncle Jiang Shi, but they were all rejected. Shibo knows, my two uncles are arrogant, so they will not alarm President Yuan for this matter. The little nephew thinks that if the two uncles can really speak to the president, the people in the office will not be so faceless, do you know what the people in the office say? No one should want to release anyone unless there is a warrant from the president. For this matter, Uncle Cai Shishu couldn't get out of the fire, and Uncle Jiang Shishu also said that he had to meet the office. ”

He said this completely out of his mouth. Cai Ye and Jiang Baili joined forces, and they couldn't handle such trivial things, and they really underestimated others. Although these two are only named generals in the office, Lao Yuan looks at them as the new generation. Not to mention the two of them, even if any one of them inquired about the matter, the office would not be so careful. Before Zhang Hanqing came to visit Duanfu, he had already done a lot of homework.

The transfer of several technicians is difficult to say, and simple to say. really got to that point, begging Cai Ye for life, are you still afraid that he won't come forward? It's just that Zhang Hanqing has his own plans in his heart, because his requirements are far from here.

The 27th Division was single-handedly pulled up by my father, and there were many factions. With the rise of Zhang Zuolin, it is only a matter of time before the Feng system grows, and it is the same without him crossing. You have to rely on your own strength to make a name for yourself, and you can't do without your own group of people. The horn dug by one's own hands has absolutely different meaning from inheriting it from his father in the future.

Those who can follow their fathers are all generals of the older generation. Some people are still relatively appropriate, such as brigade commander Sun Liechen and chief of staff Zhang Zuoxiang, who can absolutely be trusted, but they also have the shortcomings of not being able to keep up with their brains and being rigid in their thinking, and it is okay to control those bandits and bandits, but there is still a long way to go to manage a modern army---- according to their own knowledge, the troops of these backward local warlords will sooner or later be eliminated by history, and the establishment of a new-style army is imminent.

Although the number of Feng troops in history is increasing, its combat effectiveness is not proportional---- it can neither catch up with the "war army" formed by Duan Qirui later, nor is it the opponent of the direct army, nor is it the same grade as Yan Xishan's Jin army, let alone the National Revolutionary Army (Northern Expeditionary Army) with firm beliefs. If it weren't for the fact that the Northeast has arsenals, resources, Japanese money and guns, and a steady stream of manpower, the rise of the Feng army would not have been so smooth.

I believe that he has advanced concepts, a vision of insight into the overall situation, and more than 100 years of experience in army building---- but he has eaten everything from the theory of army building of the Red Army to the over-the-horizon operations of the Gulf War. But it is useless for a person to be a genius, and there must be a group of people who can follow themselves, and can also follow their own thoughts or believe in their own thoughts.

Tan Hai and Gao Jiyi are close team members, and their political and military achievements are not beneficial. Han Linchun has a few brushes in the military, but he is not so evil at present, and what he takes is his loyalty. Other so-called famous generals dare not expect ---- generals to be baptized in blood and artillery fire, even if they are famous generals in later generations, they are not born with this potential. More than superstitious individuals, Zhang Hanqing believes in the power of the team.

As long as a platform is built, even not very good officers can still win in battle, such as the Prussian officer corps system. Of course, the premise is that there are high-quality soldiers: obedient to orders, firm in thinking, and able to keep up with the needs of military development.

It's not easy. In the era when the army was still recruiting people and buying troops, and pulling up a man was a soldier, many mud legs who couldn't read a single big character joined the army just to eat a mouthful of food. These people are all characters who have milk and are mothers, and expect him to really work for you? Not only can the Feng family not be able to do it, but the Feng army, which is composed of the working people of the northwest and even the whole lineage, can't do it, don't see that every major war in history is hundreds of thousands of people at every turn, but the thunder is heavy, the rain is small, and there are many troops and generals? On the contrary, the National Revolutionary Army, which was composed of members of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, was superior in combat effectiveness to all sides, and was finally able to nominally reunify the scattered Republic of China.

Later, there was such an army, and that was the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. Under extremely poor conditions, with super cohesion, they survived and created the world-famous Long March, which was inconceivable among the armies of all parties at this time.

What Zhang Hanqing needs is such an army: it doesn't matter if the weapons and equipment are poor, it doesn't matter if the number of people is small, as long as the thinking is the same and the strength is in one place, it is an invincible army.

Therefore, he needs talents in political work, Wang Yizhe is a good seedling, but the current foundation is too shallow, in his mind, it would be good if he could pull such a person, his name is Jiang Dengxuan.

As one of the five tiger generals in the official history, the history books evaluate Jiang Dengxuan as accustomed to mingling with the army, although the ability to command and fight is poor, but with this can be among the famous generals, it naturally makes sense, and he once served as an instructor at the Baoding Military Academy, and he is also a talent that is lacking in Fengtian's preparation for the martial arts hall.

The current Jiang Dengxuan is the former governor of Heilongjiang Zhu Qinglan, who once followed him to the south and north---- when Zhu Qinglan was the governor of Guizhou, Jiang was the chief of staff of the first division of the Guizhou Army; When Zhu was the governor of Hei Province, Jiang was appointed chief of staff of the Heilongjiang Governor's Office and was later promoted to major general. Because his subordinate Bi Guifang forced the palace, Zhu Yu went to the field last year, and Jiang went to the field with him, and he went to the house at this time.

This is what Zhang Hanqing inquired about, and he also reported the idea of touching and preparing to bring some private goods when transferring people in the office. But please move a major general, after all, it is not something that people at his level can touch, even Cai Ye can't take such a big risk, and besides, the two of them have no intersection.

This is the real purpose of Zhang Hanqing's "visit" to Duan Qirui, waiting for the opportunity to let Lao Duan come forward. The reason why Jiang Baili was "pulled" into the water again was to let Duan Qirui make a move through Jiang's weight.

Why? Because Duan Qirui and Jiang Baili have always competed, Zhang Hanqing did his homework to straighten out their previous relationship, and he also tried his best to use this relationship to fish in troubled waters.

At the beginning, when Cai Yi got his ambition, he recommended his fellow Jiang Baili Yu Yuan, and Duan Qirui as the principal of Baoding Military Academy. Baoding Military Academy is the cradle of officers in the Beiyang Army, and Duan Qirui was of course unhappy, but he was constrained in many ways: he ignored the request for money, and he was not allowed to resign. Jiang Baili only served for half a year, and there was a legendary incident in which he killed himself in anger but fortunately did not die. Yuan Shikai witnessed this situation and expressed sympathy for Jiang Duo, so he reassigned Jiang Baili as the general staff member of the "Military Department of the Presidential Palace", and his monthly salary was still 1,000 yuan. However, Duan Qirui was the head of the Military Department, and Qu refused to issue a letter of commission, and it was not until Duan Qirui was relieved of this part-time job that Jiang Baili could go to the presidential palace to work.

The office eventually effectively replaced the post of army chief, and Jiang Baili had a share of the credit, which was an extension of the bitter relationship between the two. Zhang Hanqing's inability to move out of Jiang Baili's personnel poetry cloud also indirectly stimulated Lao Duan.

Duan Qirui's heart moved, isn't it, when he was the chief of the army, he was invincible. Since his resignation, there have been far fewer people coming to his door. Knowing people and faces, but not knowing their hearts, who knows whether his subordinates who originally vowed to advance and retreat with him are sincere or false? If things happen in the future, how many people will be available?

The Military Service was abolished last year and replaced by the Office of the Command, which has become the de facto supreme military and political body. But in this process, it is inevitable that many of Lao Duan's subordinates will be infiltrated---- the six army chiefs and the consistent deputy director of the military department (the director is Lao Yuan's own concurrent), who can distinguish who is not Lao Duan's person? Duan Qirui was trying to see how much weight he still had at present, and maybe this matter could be his touchstone. Isn't it just a few ordnance divisions, and you still need Lao Yuan to speak in person? Then I'll try it and see if my words are okay!

And Jiang Baili can't do it, it's nothing, if he can, won't he just slap him in the face? What if you have been the General Staff of the Military Department and changed the office for many years?!

Thinking of this, Duan Qirui felt proud for a while. However, he was scheming and calculating, and his mind was moved, but he never took the initiative to bring up the matter, waiting for Zhang Hanqing to rescue him. In this way, he not only sold his personal favor to Zhang Zuolin, but also took the opportunity to fulfill his wish, why not?

However, Zhang Hanqing didn't take a stubble, and said discouragedly: "The office is the president himself, I just had a holiday with Yuan Dagongzi, this matter is basically hopeless, I will persuade the two uncles not to mind this matter anymore, after all, it is the head and tail of the president, and others can't speak." ”

Duan Qi's tiger eyebrows: "Can't speak?" Not necessarily. In this way, because of your father's friendship with me, you and Hongye have become righteous brothers, and I will also help you see it. But whether it will succeed or not, I'm not sure. I'll write a note, and you can find it directly, oh, Xu Shuzheng, vice minister of the War Department, and see if he can think of some way for you. ”

Zhang Zuolin and Duan Qirui's friendship? There is history of it, but that will be in the future. Duan Qirui's idea of showing his hand is still very strong. He asked Zhang Hanqing to find Xu Shuzheng, he really found the right person.

Xu Shuzheng, who is also a good word, is Duan Qirui's most powerful and trusted subordinate, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is Duan's brain, courage and even soul. He served as secretary general of the State Council and vice minister of the army, and was a well-rounded civil and military officer with outstanding ability. If it weren't for his domineering behavior, he would definitely be a figure in modern history. For his appointment as the Secretary-General of the State Council, Duan Qirui, who has always been in awe of Yuan Shikai, once had a rare tough attempt to turn his face, leaving Lao Yuan helpless; For his part-time job as deputy chief of the army, Lao Duan even lost the post of chief commander.

However, what Lao Duan didn't know was that Xu Shuzheng, who had always been smooth, was now also in trouble...
