c_t; The army led by Xu Huaijin was two days later than Zhang Yi estimated, until it arrived in Shengjing on the fifth day.

After returning to China, the original five battalions in Korea returned to their respective establishments, and the Zhenbian Army returned to Heilongjiang; The Sheng army returned directly to the Hezhou garrison by Wei Rugui, Ma Yukun's subordinates were temporarily commanded by Li Gang, the Lutai Lian army was led by Tang Keqiang, and the two new armies and the blue wolf battalion returned to Shengjing together under the leadership of Zhang Yihu and Xu Huaijin.

Zhang Yi led many bureaucrats from the Fengtian General's Mansion to greet him, and the team of more than 13,000 people split into four squares outside Shengjing City, and the momentum was like a rainbow.

Xu Huaijin and the others saw Zhang Yi gradually approaching the army, jumped off their horses, ran forward quickly, saluted Zhang Yi one after another, and shouted: "My subordinates have seen the instructor (general)!" ”

Zhang Yi said with a smile: "Okay, don't be polite, you have worked hard all the way, the army is temporarily stationed outside the city, the camp has been prepared for you, the army has a holiday for three days in a row, the three armies will be rewarded, and the salary and reward silver and the pension will be sent down together." Huai Jin, you are responsible for setting up the army, and we will discuss it tomorrow. ”

After listening to Zhang Yi's words, everyone commanded their subordinates to settle the army.

On the second day, Xu Huaijin, Zhang Yihu, Tan Feng, Ba Gen, Li Gang, and Tang Keqiang came to the General's Mansion to meet Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yihu took the lead and said: "Instructor, the materials we captured in North Korea have now been handed over to Mr. Tang Shaoyi, and the Blue Wolf Battalion has also been properly placed. [ ]”

Zhang Yi nodded.

Xu Huaijin said: "The list of the dead, injured and disabled of the instructors' various battalions has also been sorted out and submitted

When I arrived at the General's Mansion, I handed it over to Mr. Tang Shaoyi. ”

Zhang Yi nodded again.

Everyone reported the affairs in their hands to Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi said with a smile: "Everyone, now that you have all returned to China, it is time for us to show our strength in Fengtian, and in the future, we will have to start a war with Little Japan, and even with Tsarist Russia, we can't relax in one breath." Now in addition to the Eight Banners stationed in the entire Mukden Province, there are more than 20,000 Green Battalion soldiers, plus the soldiers we have withdrawn, there are about 40,000 people, but we must promote military reform, and now with the current combat effectiveness, the soldiers who have returned from North Korea are acceptable, but the combat effectiveness of other troops is too weak to play a big role at all. So the first thing we need to do is to reorganize the army in an all-round way. ”

Xu Huaijin asked: "Instructor, let's prepare the army, what is the attitude of the imperial court?" ”

Zhang Yi replied: "The Queen Mother and the Emperor have already agreed that we will conduct our own training of the new army, but we need to prepare for the military resources ourselves. ”

Xu Huaijin was puzzled: "We prepare by ourselves, so where does our military funds come from?" Just relying on the materials captured in North Korea, we can't support it for long, not to mention the need to invest a lot of military spending every year to train the new army? ”

Zhang Yi said with a smile: "Huaijin, don't worry, we don't have money now, it doesn't mean that we won't have money in the future, don't we still have the establishment of the green battalion, these silver are still allocated by the state treasury, with this batch of silver, at least the soldiers' salaries will be solved." ”

Xu Huaijin was depressed: "The household department and the military department are peeling off the skin layer by layer, I don't know how much is left in our hands?" ”

Zhang Yi said with a smile

"You don't have to worry about that. The establishment of the Fengtian Green Battalion is 30,000 people, and now there are more than 20,000 people, we only need to cut all the redundant personnel of more than 20,000 people, and it would be good to be able to leave 15,600 people, and there is no need to expand the strength of the army for the time being, and use a year to train all of them into elite divisions, and we will raise 15,600 people with the salary of 30,000 troops, as long as we are not greedy for ink, it is absolutely more than enough. We only need to allocate a certain amount of silver taels every year to purchase weapons and ammunition, and I think we can still afford this. ”

Xu Huaijin replied: "In that case, instructor, there is no problem with the subordinates?" ”

Zhang Yi said solemnly: "Huai Jin, now that you are the chief soldier of Jinzhou Town, the second rank officer, I will now entrust you with all the reorganization of all the troops in Fengtian Province, you must be careful and cautious, and truly build an elite army for us." As for the assistants, you choose them yourself, and you have the right to transfer all the military personnel in Fengtian Province. ”

Xu Huaijin hugged his fists and said: "Yes, instructor, your subordinates will not disappoint you." ”

Zhang Yi continued: "There is one more thing to explain to you, go back and discuss with Zhang Yihu and the two of them, transfer twenty elites from the blue wolf battalion, and eighty elites from the third battalion, and select an absolutely trustworthy backbone to form an instructor battalion as the leader, rush to Baotou, and assist Fusheng Gong in training a security regiment with a number of no less than 1,000 people in Baotou." Remember, be sure to train to be the best of the best, rifles, heavy machine guns, submachine guns, artillery, mortars

Cannons, grenades and other dry weapons, all of them must be equipped with the best, don't be afraid to spend money on Fusheng Gong, Shanxi Qiao's family has money, spend it at will, we will be of great use in the future. ”

Xu Huaijin was puzzled: "Help Fusheng Gong train a private security team, instructor, this is not in harmony with the etiquette system, it will cause controversy, and what are our elites doing in Baotou?" ”

Zhang Yi replied solemnly: "Huai Jin, we have to open our eyes a little more, now the biggest threat to us is no longer Japan, but Tsarist Russia in the north, Tsarist Russia's invasion of China is undoubtedly in three directions, one is Heilongjiang, one is Xinjiang, and the other is Mongolia!" Heilongjiang is heavily guarded, and there will not be much problem in the short term; Xinjiang is too far away for us; Only Mongolia, this is the most likely to change in the near future, and we can get involved, once Mongolia changes in the future, the imperial court will definitely let me lead the army to evaluate the rebellion, at that time, this elite of more than 1,000 people will have a place to use. ”

Xu Huaijin suddenly realized and echoed: "Instructor, your vision is so far, Huaijin is really out of reach." ”

Zhang Yi said: "Don't pat me on the back, this matter is what I promised Qiao Zhiyong when I was in Beijing, I must train a team of men and horses for him, protect his caravan, and at the same time ensure that Baotou is not invaded by horse bandits." ”

Xu Huaijin replied: "Yes, instructor, I will handle this matter when I go down, and it will be arranged properly." ”

Xu Huaijin looked at Zhang Yihu again and said, "Yihu, the task I want to give you is to dismiss the blue wolf!" Zhang Yihu was taken aback and said hurriedly: "Instructor, the Blue Wolf Camp made it to us with a lot of effort to establish

, it's all the instructor's hard work, why do you want to disband the blue wolf, I don't accept it! Zhang Yi said angrily: "Dog, you listen to me!" Disband the blue wolf, all the personnel start training from scratch, I will personally make a training plan, within a year I will make the blue wolf look like another person, and be able to be the iron-blooded hero that all armies in the world must look up to!
