Chapter 106: The reorganization of the new army
In the new army camp, the two teams are still facing each other, Jiang Fangzhen and a few Baath Party officers are negotiating with Xiao Xingyuan's officers, in fact, these officers have long wanted to surrender, but they want to keep their military power, so the negotiations have been deadlocked.
However, Chen Xuan said that the Baath Party is not used to this problem, and it is okay to join the army if you want to, or if you want to be an official, but no matter how experienced you are and how much you have the heart of the military, you must go through the training of the military academy with the army, and it is absolutely impossible to retain the old department.
Jiang Fangzhen was not afraid of these New Army soldiers, the new army in this town has more than 10,000 people, and the Baath Party directly controls more than 3,000 people, and many other progressive organizations will not shoot at the revolutionary ranks, so it is good that these old officers can command 5,000 people.
There are more than 1,000 people brought by Jiang Fangzhen, plus the people in his own camp, the strength is not necessarily worse than them, and the ammunition on the side of the Manchurian New Army must be issued in wartime or during training, how many shots can these old-style officers and soldiers fire? The Baath Party contingent is really well armed, and the dozen or so black cannons outside the camp, dozens of Maxim machine guns, and piles of ammunition are enough to chill people's hearts.
The reason why the confrontation has been going on until now is that Jiang Fangzhen is unwilling to fight in the same room, and he also cherishes these combat powers, otherwise he would have been swept away a long time ago.
With the arrival of Chen Xuan's team, the last trace of luck that pressed on the hearts of these old officers was shattered, Chen Xuan didn't speak, just sent Xiao Xingyuan to Jiang Fangzhen's side, and at the same time put out an attack formation, everything is self-evident, if you don't surrender, the Baath Party's side will be hard.
Disillusioned with the Manchu officers, Jiang Fangzhen pressed further, everything became logical, the officers were taken to the martial arts school for a while, and those who did not want to join the revolutionary army were given severance pay to let them leave.
Chen Xuan and Jiang Fangzhen came up with a long-planned reorganization plan to select soldiers, and more than 24 people under the age of 18, opium smokers, and infectious diseases were all eliminated for other arrangements, and in the end, more than 7,000 people remained, plus the people brought by Jiang Fangzhen this time and those who were about to graduate from the martial arts school, a total of more than 11,000 people joined the revolutionary army.
Chen Xuan removed the military establishment of this era, completely copied the military system of later generations, and combined the opinions of Jiang Fangzhen and other senior officers, abolished the brigade-level establishment, and directly established the establishment of military divisions, regiments, battalions, companies, and platoons to form the First Army of the Zhejiang Revolutionary Army.
Chen Xuan served as the commander of the First Army of the Zhejiang Revolutionary Army and concurrently served as the commander of the First Army, the First Army had three divisions, Jiang Fangzhen served as the commander of the First Division, Li Jinxu served as the commander of the Second Division, and Han Sanlin (an early returned student, who had been teaching at the Zhenhua Guardian School, and was responsible for the Wenzhou Uprising this time) was the commander of the Third Division.
Jiang Zhongqi and the students of the Martial Arts School transferred most of the elites in the barracks to form the First Army Guard Regiment of the Zhejiang Revolutionary Army, with a strength of 1,800 people, and was also responsible for the security work of the high-level of the Baxing Party.
The establishment of the first army of the Zhejiang Revolutionary Army is three divisions of one army, three regiments of one division, three battalions of one regiment, three battalions of one battalion, and so on, and at the same time set up a tutor, temporarily by Jiang Fangzhen concurrently serving as the division commander, planning a total of 18,000 officers and men in the whole army, and the officers at the regiment and battalion levels are basically the cadets of the army command school in Chuansha, most of these students are people who participated in the escort team in the early days, participated in many anti-bandit operations, and later entered the army academy here in Chuansha to receive military education.
There is no need to doubt the ability and loyalty of these officers, that is to say, Chen Xuan has already firmly controlled this army in Zhejiang in his own hands, Li Jinxu and Han Sanlin are in Ningbo and Wenzhou, so naturally it is impossible for them to come over and take over their troops so quickly, so they are temporarily led by their deputy division commanders.
After the training, the first division was stationed in Hangzhou to continue training, the second division went to Ningbo to change guards with the officers and men under Li Jinxu, and the officers and men of the third division and Han Sanlin changed guards, and the task of training the troops was handed over to their respective commanders.
At the same time, the military power in various parts of Zhejiang was also confiscated.
During this period, Li Jinxu and Han Sanlin also sent telegrams, Ningbo and Wenzhou were also successfully won, and Li Yuanhong from Wuchang also sent a congratulatory telegram for the first time, congratulating Zhejiang on its smooth recovery.
The situation in Heilongjiang is more special, in May after the epidemic ended, the Manchu court wanted to pick peaches, and the governor of Heilongjiang, Zhou Shumo, returned to the governor's yamen, only to find that everything had changed, although Cai Yuanpei also gave up the governor's yamen, but the decree of the governor's palace could hardly go out of the yamen, and no one obeyed it even if it was issued.
The common people of Heilongjiang hated the government for abandoning the people to flee for their lives, and after several temptations and coercion, Zhou Shumo found that it had no effect, and the telegram sent to the capital asking for help was also like a stone in the sea, without causing a single ripple.
The Baath Party's forces in Heilongjiang will not deliberately embarrass this governor, and the amount of money and respect that should be given is still a lot, but it wants real power? Or died early in this heart.
After Zhou Shumo returned to Heilongjiang, he found that today's Heilongjiang is like a changed world, the development of all walks of life is changing with each passing day, the factories are rising from the ground, the mines are also full of busy people, a large number of industrial products are produced from the factory and flow to the market, the people on the street do not know when they are wearing new clothes, and their faces also show a long-lost smile, it seems that even the foreign devils and Oriental devils who have always been rampant and domineering have been polite and courteous.
There is no longer a switch on the street for the green camp masters to set up cards to collect taxes, Zhou Shumo really can't figure out what Cai Yuanpei and others use to support the development of Heilongjiang, clean streets, polite and courteous people, and it seems that the people are not afraid of the heavily armed escort army, this! Is this still my damn Qing Dynasty?
During this time, the escort team will also go up the mountain from time to time to suppress bandits, this is a real bandit, not like the masters of the green camp to go out and put a few shots, after the scourge of the common people to cut off a few heads and come back to make a difference, the heads of those bandits hanging on the intersection are proof.
Zhou Shumo is not a rigid person, he asks if he can't figure out things, and Cai Yuanpei is not a person who cherishes himself, he must answer questions, and the two have become friends, Cai Yuanpei also asked Zhou Shumo to assist in Heilongjiang's education work, and what is surprising is that Zhou Shumo actually agreed, and wrote to some of his friends to invite them to Heilongjiang.
In less than two months, Harbin University and Harbin Institute of Technology were successfully established, plus Dr. Wu Liande's medical school, Sun Hongye's military academy and Feng Ru's flight academy and the original Normal College, the remote Heilongjiang actually has an astonishing six institutions of higher learning, ranking among all the provinces in China!
When Chen Xuan's uprising secret telegram arrived in Heilongjiang in early October, Cai Yuanpei did not hide Zhou Shumo, but only limited Zhou Shumo's scope of activities and communication.
Zhou Shumo was entangled in the influence of traditional education, and on the other hand, he was entangled in Heilongjiang, but in the hands of the Baxing Party, it was only a few months before it glowed with such majestic vitality, and after several days of sleepless ideological struggle, he finally decided to participate, and at the same time asked to join the Baxing Party.
If the uprising of Chen Xuan and others in Hangzhou is simple and easy, then the uprising in Heilongjiang is simply a matter of changing the banner, and there is basically no opposition from top to bottom of the entire Heilongjiang, especially after the success of the Wuchang uprising, it has greatly boosted the morale of the Heilongjiang revolution, and the golden dragon flag of the Manchu Qing Dynasty has been torn off, and the phoenix flag of the revival party has been hung, and the governor Yamen has changed its name to the Heilongjiang Revolutionary Army.
Of course, the revolution that took place in the northeast could not be so simple, Sun Hongye and Tan Fangcheng's team had already moved to the vicinity of Jilin in the name of suppressing bandits, and Harbin was only guarded by 3,000 recruits, and on October 15, the two teams respectively rushed to Changchun, the capital of Jilin, with lightning speed.
Cao Kun, the commander of the third town of the New Army Army stationed in Changchun, Jilin Province, was caught off guard by the Baath Party's secret spies and the sudden attack of Sun Hongye and Tan Fangcheng, and was beaten out of Changchun in less than two days.
Fengtian is the old nest of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it is not so easy to rebel against this nest of Manchurians, more than 10,000 people of Tan Fangcheng who set off first have already fought with Zhang Shaozeng, the commander of the 20th town of the army stationed in Fengtian, and the battle has been inextricably linked, Cao Kun's group of people ran over, wouldn't it have increased the pressure on Tan Fangcheng.
After leaving two regiments of troops to garrison Changchun, and handing over the power to Li Luqing, who had already come to the northeast, Li Luqing expanded his army on a large scale.
With the support of these big households, Li Luqing was able to gain a firm foothold in Jilin.
Sun Hongye chased Cao Kun's ass and beat him violently, Cao Kun was sad at this time, and scolded Sun Hongye all the way This madman is not stopped, but no matter how he scolds, Sun Hongye still chases forward like an outlaw, Cao Kun's cannon is also lost, and the baggage is also thrown to Sun Hongye, and there are continuous deserters along the way, and only three or four hundred people in the third town of the New Army of more than 10,000 people fled miserably to Zhang Shaozeng's camp.
