When Yongshan heard Shi Dakai say this, his heart was a little more steady, and he asked in a deep voice: "Lord Shi, then you see how the town border army should be rectified, and please give me instructions." -”

Shi Da laughed and said: "It's very simple, I have never been in contact with the entire town border army, and it is not realistic for me to personally carry out the reorganization, so I am only responsible for 'handing over' the generals who came from Fengtian for rectification and training with the German ** officers brought this time Insert 'to the right post, as for the adjustment of the original general system of the Zhenbian Army, I will respect the opinions of General Yongshan and General Longshan, please co-chair the two of you and Commander Zhang Zuolin, and put forward the list of generals who need to be eliminated and the list of generals who need to be promoted, I will directly approve it, but in the future, once these promoted generals are not qualified for the position, I will ask for the three of you, and now the situation does not allow us to be negligent, so the reorganization of the three of you this time I will rely on you, in a word, I appoint people on the basis of merit, not nepotism, people in the town border army, don't be afraid that you don't have a chance, as long as you have the ability, there will be an opportunity。 ”

Yongshan and Longshan were greatly surprised when they heard Shi Dakai's words in the first half, and then when they heard the second half of the words, they began to rush to the pressure on their bodies, Shi Dakai not only gave them trust, but also gave them obligations and responsibilities, once they did not complete well, then Shi Dakai would definitely not be polite to them.

Yongsan and Ryusan replied, "Your Excellency, please rest assured, our brother will never let you down!" ”

Shi Dakai asked: "General Yongshan, how many people are there in our Zhenbian Army in Jilin Province now, I want actual data!" ”

Yongshan pondered for a moment and replied: "Now we have a total of forty battalions of soldiers in the border army of Jilin Town, plus artillery battalions, cavalry battalions, baggage battalions and other troops, the normal establishment should be 20,000 horses, but some of the large battalions in our army are not full, and I don't have the detailed figures here, but the lower officials believe that the number of troops in the border of the town should be about 17,000, not less than 16,000. ”

Shi Dakai groaned for a moment and said: "According to the establishment of the Fengtian army today, the Zhenbian army can be reorganized into a division, which is divided into three brigades, nine regiments, and twenty-seven battalions, plus three battalions of the artillery regiment, three battalions of the cavalry regiment, and one battalion of the guard battalion, a total of thirty-four battalions, the establishment is tentatively set at 15,000 people, I will give you 3,000 places for retrenchment, and at the same time reduce the insufficient personnel, and immediately recruit new soldiers." ”

Yongshan asked: "My lord, it will take us about a month and a half to complete such a large-scale transfer and reorganization, how long do you give us to carry out the reorganization?" ”

Shi Dakai shook his head and said: "I can't give you that much time, at most half a month, or maybe it won't take half a month, only ten days or less, it depends on when the Japanese army will attack us in the future, I think at most half a month, the Japanese army will attack, we don't have enough time to prepare, and hurry up and give me statistics on the weapons and ammunition of the Zhenbian Army, you must give me detailed data within three days, and then I will allocate weapons and ammunition from Mukden to the Zhenbian Army." Medicine', as long as you don't have it, we try to satisfy you, as soon as the cannon goes off, if there is no 'medicine', we are equivalent to the tiger has no minions, and can only be slaughtered by others......"

Nagayama looked embarrassed: "This ......"

Indeed, it took more than ten days to complete the reorganization, which is not easy to say!

Shi Dakai said: "General Yongshan, let's work together, the Zhenbian Army must have a new look, otherwise, we can only become cannon fodder under the fire of the Japanese army." ”

Yongshan pondered silently for a moment, and said firmly: "My lord, although I am not a handsome person, I will try my best to do this well. ”

Shi Dakai nodded and said: "General Yongshan, after the Zhenbian Army is reorganized into a division, I will temporarily act as the division commander, and the following three brigades will be served by you, General Longshan and Zhang Zuolin respectively, Zhang Zuolin will also serve as the General Staff Officer, and the nine regiment commanders will be promoted from the original Zhenbian Army generals, three from the German ** 'handover' regiment I brought, and then two from Zhang Zuolin's whole training regiment, and the artillery regiment 'handed' over to my German artillery officer is in charge, not only the regiment commander, but also the battalion commander will be a moral ** thing' As for the cavalry regiment, it will be 'handed over' to you to select, we don't have suitable cavalry talents here, you must be like the old man to ensure that you can recommend the best cavalry generals to serve, regardless of the candidates' qualifications, only if you have the ability and ability, you can recommend it, and you need to have an extraordinary method in extraordinary times! ”

Yongshan nodded silently and wrote down, Shi Dakai's arrangement can be regarded as taking care of the interests of most of the elders of the Zhenbian Army, as long as you have the ability, Shi Dakai will be entrusted with important tasks, if you are demoted or removed or transferred, it can only mean that there is a problem with your ability, and you are absolutely no wonder about others.

Shi Dakai continued: "The battalion commander of the guard battalion will be my cronies for the time being, the following three brigades and twenty-seven battalions, of which sixteen battalions are 'handed over' to you to recommend, or that sentence, there must be capable candidates, the remaining eleven battalions, I will arrange for us to bring people, these twenty-seven battalions, all will be scattered in the brigades, I will determine the main brigade, regiment, and battalion for you during the big war, who can become the backbone, depending on your ability, if the ability of the two is better than Zhang Zuolin, the old man will not say a word." , immediately let Zhang Zuolin roll back to Fengtian. ”

Shi Dakai confessed his heart like this, if Yongshan and Longshan are no longer interested, they will become fools, such good conditions, at least all the talents and backbones of the Zhenbian Army are under control, and they can stay, and the other marginal corners are 'colorful', and there is nothing to feel sorry for when they leave.

Yongshan's face was straight, and he said in a deep voice: "My lord, please rest assured, when the Duke of Yaoshan is in Japan, our brother has not lost his old man's face, and now that you are in charge of the town border army, our brother will not lose your face!" Ten days, just ten days, our brother will definitely put the townside army in order. ”

Shi Dakai smiled and said: "Okay, in this case, the old man is waiting for your good news, you should step back first, the rest of the time the old man will be left to the local parents and officials to deal with military affairs, and now the government affairs should be cleaned up." Just when Shi Dakai sent Yongshan and others away and set out to rectify Jilin's affairs in the next time, Heilongjiang finally arrived at the moment when the storm came. Just after Shi Dakai finished dealing with Yuxian's affairs, on the third day, the army of Tsarist Russia finally moved, and Kuropatkin personally organized an army of more than 45,000 people, and rushed into the territory of China with great momentum, and the troops were divided into two routes, directly 'pressing' Harbin and Mudanjiang!
