Zhang Chun did not dismantle the Northwest Army, but asked the Northwest Army to select soldiers and reduce the number of troops according to Hubei's standards.

In accordance with the requirements of the Nanjing government, the Hubei army was sent from the 21st Army.

The commander of the 21st Army was Zhou Rong, who was transferred to Shangluo and Ankang.

The commander of the 22nd Army was originally Li Tiancai, and now Zhang Linyue is the commander, stationed on the line from Daye to Changyang in Jiangnan.

The commander of the 23rd Army was Tong Linge, stationed in Xi'an.

The commander of the 24th Army was Yang Hucheng and was stationed in Xiangyang.

Mechanized Road and Bridge Independent Division, the division commander is Ye Ting, who went to Yunxi and was responsible for opening up the road from Yunxi to Shangluo and Yunxi to Ankang.

The Western Hubei Independent Division, the division commander was He Long, stationed in Yichang.

Southern Hunan's Independent Division, the division commander is Tang Jiaxing, stationed in Qichun.

The Central Hubei Independent Division, the division commander was Zhang Liang, transferred to Yunxi, and acted with the Road and Bridge Division.

The former enemy headquarters also moved to Yunxi, just like Feng Yuxiang said, the Northwest Army only occupied the big cities, and after shrinking, its ability to control the local area was extremely low. Feng Yuxiang and the former enemy command together, used the First Army, the Road and Bridge Division, and the Central Hubei Independent Division to strike at the local forces, and under the forcible promotion of the army, carried out land reform and swept away all forces.

The reason why he dared to do this was because with Ye Ting opening up the road, a large amount of grain would be transported to the local area, ensuring that the people had something to eat, and also ensuring that the newly established local government would not be repeated.

The 23rd and 24th armies were actually dissatisfied. The vacancies were all filled by cadets and recruits in Hubei. At the same time, in view of the fact that the company-platoon-level cadres of the two armies are illiterate, and even some divisional and regimental-level cadres are illiterate. There were almost no staff officers of divisions and military headquarters. From the 21st and 22nd armies. The Wuhan Garrison Division transferred cadres to supplement the two armies. For the time being, the two armies will not assign combat tasks, but will conduct training as a whole.

The Northwest Army had only more than 30,000 people when it was sworn in, and later swelled to 80,000. However, there are only more than 20,000 elites who are really willing to reorganize. More than 20,000 people were selected. Only 12,000 remained. It is higher than Ye Tingtuan's selection rate. This is because the 20,000 people were selected by Feng Yuxiang from 80,000.

This is actually a little more than a division. Hubei has indeed implemented a policy of elite soldiers. In total, the province only recruited 20,000 recruits. He Long's division and Tang Jiaxing's division were divided, leaving only more than 12,000 people to the two armies, plus more than 3,000 qualified soldiers brought over by Wu Peifu, and 18,000 cadres and students who graduated from military academies from various armies.

It is impossible to completely fill two armies.

Originally, Tong Linge and Yang Hucheng were preparing to recruit new soldiers in Shaanxi. But look at the guns and individual equipment, and the company-platoon-level communication electronic equipment that was transported. Even they don't understand, think about it or forget it. Liu Ying promised to give all the recruits for next year to these two armies, and then fooled Tong Linge and Yang Hucheng back.

Wait until it's time for basic training. The soldiers of the former Northwest Army knew the strength of the Hubei Army, even if it was a new recruit, it was not something they could compare. Each of them is a showman. Many people can also speak foreign. Those complicated personal equipment, just a little tinkering. The soldiers of the Northwest Army could only watch dryly.

So Tong Linge and Yang Hucheng took the lead in learning cultural knowledge. No one dares to deduct food and salary, those new cadres and soldiers are all very shrewd, and the accounts are better than yours. If they don't conspire to come and kidnap the quartermaster, it's good to have a good gun and a good knife.

Tong Linge and Yang Hucheng looked at these soldiers and were worried. In fact, each of these guys has no problem at all when they become company commanders and regiment commanders in the Northwest Army. But they are just soldiers. They say that in the People's Army, it is a shame not to mix with scouts and special forces. For those newly transferred cadres and trainees, everyone is a two-star student, and many of them are three-star students.

Zhang Zhijiang is regarded as the king of soldiers in the Northwest Army. But when I met a two-star recruit, because of my age, I hardly won once.

So, every time the soldiers trained. They all saw their army commanders, division commanders, and these chiefs also followed with their full armaments.

It is the female health corps and female signal corps in the army, and there are many one-star and two-star cadets. This is a big man. is not as good as a woman, it really hurts the self-esteem of these men. Tong Linge and Yang Hucheng can see that these recruits, even Zhang Chun are treated equally, and no one wants them to save face for you.

Xi'an and Xiangyang were busy with military training.

The five divisions of the former enemy command quickly swept through southern Shaanxi. Completely sweep away Ankang, Hanzhong, Baoji area, but also stop at Tongchuan.

It's not that it can't be defeated, but Ye Ting's road and bridge regiment can't keep up.

In addition to the two whole divisions stationed in Shangluo and Hanzhong, Mao Shishan scattered the remaining two divisions and stationed them in various counties as companies, while continuing to clean up and organize the military government. Distribute relief food, eradicate opium, and restore farmland. Migrant workers were recruited to build roads in various counties under the leadership of Feng Yuxiang. At the same time, these soldiers personally served as teachers in the school and built the elementary school.

At this time, it is the season for wheat planting in Shaanxi. Feng Yuxiang also did not expect that an army would be able to go to the local area to do farm work with the common people, and there was no unfamiliar place to deal with government affairs. No way, who told these ordinary soldiers that most of them are college students.

Soon, professional working groups on agriculture, forestry and the environment also arrived. The Bureau of Surveying, Mapping and Survey also organized personnel to come and conduct surveying and mapping.

Feng Yuxiang and Song Qingling wrote a letter to Yu Youren, who was already in Shanghai, and Zhang Guotao also went to see Yu Youren, saying that Zhang Weimin wanted to support Shaanxi in building Northwest University.

Yu Youren took a boat from Shanghai to Nanzhang Street, he didn't know much about Zhang Chun, but he always had to find Song Qingling to confirm.

Originally, Feng Yuxiang asked Yu You to be the director of the Shanxi Provincial Department of Education. But another interesting person came to grab this position with Yu Youren, that is, Zhang Zhijiang.

Feng Yuxiang said that you are a big old man, what kind of education director, go to be your teacher.

Zhang Zhijiang didn't do it, saying what's wrong with the big boss, the big boss can get money, who doesn't give me money, I will turn my face with him. I'm going to do physical education all over my body, and if those nerds chirp crookedly, Lao Tzu will kill him.

The dispute continued, and Zhang Zhijiang heard that Yu Youren had arrived in Xinmin, so he hurriedly pulled Feng Yuxiang over. actually said in front of Yu Youren that he would compete with Yu Youren, and whoever won the competition would be the director of education. Yu Youren smiled and said, "Isn't it better than calligraphy?" Zhang Zhijiang said no, calligraphy is not good, or we will compare marksmanship. Anyway, he didn't dare to do anything to Feng Yuxiang with Feng Yuxiang, he was cheating. The first time Yu Youren met this kind of unreasonable person, he laughed so much that his beard shook and shook.

Zhang Chun also smiled and said to Feng Yuxiang: "Okay, let Zijiang be the director of education." He's right, education needs money, and your money bags really listen to him. He became the president of Northwestern University. At Northwest University, I will first give 15,000 new yuan, plus Mr. Song's 5,000, for a total of 20,000. Then allocate 10,000 New Yen from the Xinmin Education Fund every year. This one is only used for infrastructure. Northwest University should carry out scientific research projects, report the budget in accordance with the methods of Xinmin University, and allocate it from the Xinmin Education Fund. But patents and so on go to the education fund. ”

Zhang Chun pointed at Zhang Zhijiang and smiled: "Principal Yu asks Director Zhang for the education subsidy he should ask for every year, can't he get the money, you can find him." ”

Zhang Zhijiang smiled: "My money is for primary and secondary schools, and I want to see the university, isn't there a rich man, if I don't dominate the rich man, I, the director of education, will be in vain." ”

Feng Yuxiang and Yu Youren and Zhang Chun burst into laughter.

Zhang Chun said: "As long as you can come up with a reason, I will transfer money to you." ”

Zhang Zhijiang's problem was solved, and the three of them went north to Xi'an.

But Chen Hongshu found it again. It turned out that Wu Peifu began to say that he wanted to go to the Department of Agriculture to be the deputy director, and everyone thought it was a joke, because as soon as he handed over the troops, he and Zhang Qiqi went to the countryside to investigate.

These two people are also interesting, originally thought that Hubei was still the same as before, and they were going to walk around while telling people's fortunes.

Unexpectedly, the common people didn't believe this, but they didn't want to pay attention to them, thinking that they were pretending to be gods. In desperation, with the old face of the two people, they relied on a team of agricultural working groups, which were all majoring in agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and sideline fisheries, mainly investigating the role of biological populations in the water network area on the soil and agricultural use.

This expedition is a few months. Back in Wuhan, Wu Peifu went directly to the Department of Agriculture, Zhang Qiqi thought that what Hubei did was in line with the essence of Mohist thought, and ran to see Liang Qichao, saying that he wanted to be an old college student.

Liang Qichao said how to do this, go to the Chinese department to tell you Mozi. Anyway, Wang Guowei and they have also made the Chinese department up in recent years.

The Department of Chinese also established the Department of Archaeology in cooperation with the University of Geosciences. If Zhang Qiqi is interested, he can help.

The Department of Archaeology has discovered a series of relics in Daye Tonglu Mountain, from the pre-Qin period to modern times, and is doing research. Zhang Qiqiang said that I am still mixed with Chinese now, and I want to see more about how far these boys have come. (To be continued......)
