On August 16, after Han Zheng arranged everything, he temporarily returned to Wuyang.

At this time, the war between southern Anhui and northern Anhui has basically ended, and the biggest winner is naturally Han Zheng, and the biggest loser is the former governor of Anhui Baidu, according to intelligence, Bai Wenwei has no news until now, it is said that he fled to Shanghai and hid.

Maybe this time it was too powerful, Bai Wenwei later felt shameless in the face of domestic heroes, and did not stay in Shanghai for a few days, and then ran to Japan again.

However, Bai Wenwei was not alone this time, as soon as he left on the front foot, a large number of revolutionaries left Shanghai one after another and fled back to Japan from here.

With the defeat of the Second Revolution, these revolutionaries had to find a new way, at least to leave the country, to prevent the liquidation of the North.

At this point, from the beginning to the end, the dust gradually fell, and the second revolution, which lasted for several months, was considered to be the end of its life, and the war that took place on the land of Anhui also came to an end.

Regardless of the interests of all parties, but at least for the people here, this is a good thing, and they can always live in peace for a while.

Subsequently, the provinces of Hunan and Jiangxi also canceled their independence one after another, and the provincial governors stepped down one after another.

Han Zheng can be said to have gained a lot this time, put the last trace of regret into his heart, and returned to Voryang with a spring breeze on his face.

And when he arrived in Wuyang, he was even more surprised to see Zhang Wu and the others again, although Jiang Baili did not come over, Han Zheng was a little regretful about this, but he believed that with the enhancement of his strength and status, his principal would return here sooner or later, who let him have the dream of a national defense army.

At the same time, with the arrival of Zhang Wu's group of people, as well as the subordinates who had been gathered, Han Zheng took advantage of this opportunity, Han Zheng finally officially established the military school, because Han Zheng's more than a dozen classmates were a little sensitive, they could not openly lead the army, and they were also arranged to be instructors in the military school.

Zhang Wu was appointed superintendent of the military academy and was in charge of peacetime affairs, while Han Zheng remained part-time nominal principal.

In this war, several officers in charge sat together afterwards to sort out, and only then did they find that the most serious problem of the army exposed in the course of the war was not the combat strength of the soldiers, but the lack of medical care!

To this end, in order to strengthen the medical construction of the army, Han Zheng appointed Ma Lianxing as the dean, and established the first military medical school in the army.

Everyone rejoiced at this decision, and no one wanted to be injured on the battlefield and not die, but died because of medical reasons.

Of course, the happiest of them is Ma Lianxing, although he is also responsible for the care and treatment of the wounded in the army in peacetime, but for the sake of the military medical school, he still personally attends the field every two days and takes time out to teach the students.

After the war, on the basis of the expansion of territory and income, Han Zheng's army expanded to the size of a regular army of 12,000 people!

Just for this matter, Han Zheng sent gifts to Duan Qirui, coupled with Han Zheng's performance in this battle, Yuan Shikai finally nodded and acquiesced in the entrenchment of Han Zheng's forces in northern Anhui.

This also means that Han Zheng has finally become an upper-middle figure in the Beiyang system, and he is no longer the small standard system that anyone can control before!

For this reason, after the Korean War, we did not hesitate to expend great efforts to increase the artillery unit by three artillery battalions and the number of machine gun companies by more than a dozen within half a year!

However, in this way, in the course of this army expansion, it is no longer possible to accomplish this important task by relying only on one's own construction, half of which has been developed by relying on one's own construction, and the other half has relied on a large amount of money to buy from outside.

For this matter, Zheng Rong didn't complain that Han Zheng was too good at spending money and didn't know moderation, but watching the army become stronger day by day, everyone was happy, but Zheng Rong's heartache and complaints no one cared about.

Of course, in this process, Li Yiru and Jiang Baili in Shanghai secretly helped I don't know how much.

Moreover, it is worth mentioning that among the regular army of more than 10,000 people, not counting the local police force and the newly established local guard force of more than 5,000 people.

In order to allow his subordinates to adapt to this series of rapid changes, especially the expansion of the army, Han Zheng was finally able to reorganize the army again according to the scale of the patrol envoy, and the above had already approved it.

The army under Han Zheng was numbered as the First Division of Anhui, that is, the 211th Division, but in the Beiyang system, it was still organized in the local army sequence, which was also the result of internal struggle.

The entire military expansion agreement lasted for nearly 10 days to discuss and deliberate, and the plan was finally decided.

The original 1st Regiment was expanded into a brigade, and Chen Feng was reappointed as the first brigade commander, and his rank was promoted to the rank of colonel, with two regiments and a reinforced battalion, an artillery battalion, and six machine gun companies under his command.

As for the original second regiment, it was directly reorganized into a divisional regiment and directly under the jurisdiction of the division headquarters, and the second regiment grew the fastest after continuous fighting, and at this time it officially became the strongest combat force among the original three regiments.

The original third regiment was expanded into the second brigade, under the jurisdiction of two regiments, the commander of the first regiment is Tang Shunzi, the commander of the second regiment is Lin Xiang, and the brigade commander is Xiang Jie, who has gradually matured, this decision has been questioned by some people in the army, but in the military exercise confrontation, Xiang Jie successfully defeated other opponents, plus it is also remarkable in several battles, so he has secured this position.

As for Zheng Xiaosan and Zheng Xiaosi, they were unwilling to continue to lead the troops, but wanted to enter Han Zheng's guards and accept Han Zheng's direct command, and it just so happened that Han Zheng was preparing to expand the reinforced battalion of 1,000 guards, of which Zheng Xiaosan and Zheng Xiaosi were the main and deputy battalion commanders respectively, just like in Baoding Military Academy, they became Han Zheng's followers.

As for the rest of the people, Zhou Liangfeng was finally transferred by Han Zheng to Wang Xian's subordinate to the gendarmerie, but Qin Qiang was still unwilling to take on any position, and Han Zheng had no choice but to stay by his side as an adjutant.

However, the task of the adjutant, the first requirement is literacy, otherwise it is difficult to be competent, although Han Zheng did not say much, but Qin Qiang put it in his heart, almost when he has time, he will go to the military academy and the school in the county to read and write, and the progress is so fast, the general documents can already be distinguished, and then the difference is handed over to Han Zheng to deal with.

As for Zheng Rong of the logistics department, he is already nearly thirty-six or seventeen years old, and he has been diligent since he followed Han Zheng, and this time Han Zheng established the army quartermaster department, and he naturally became the head of the quartermaster department, and he also allowed the other party to take his family to his side.

In order to be qualified for this position, Zheng Rong finally played his full level, and the result surprised Han Zheng, this person actually established a perfect accounting system in the army, which he never expected, and it can also be described as an unexpected joy.

Li Ting, who was previously in charge of transportation, took over the main logistics and transportation responsibilities in the army.

Li Feng, the former commander of the artillery battalion, was appointed by Han Zheng to the post of battalion commander of the artillery reinforcement battalion directly under the division headquarters because of his outstanding performance in these two battles, especially the artillery unit he led.

Since this army expansion, the first division in northern Anhui has been formally formed, and all the military establishments have begun to be adjusted on a large scale, and the number of people joining the army in various localities has increased dramatically, several times more than before.

And the soldiers who joined the army this time are no longer just for the reason why their families pay less taxes, and at this time, northern Anhui almost regarded being a soldier as an honor.

And with such a powerful army, Han Zheng's future will no longer be decided by those people in the north who can point fingers casually, but the north has never noticed this, but is busy with the establishment of a new cabinet and the reorganization of the government.

At the same time, based on the major changes currently facing the army, Han Zheng had to reform and improve the local government affairs, and in order to establish his own local banking system, his future father-in-law Li Yiru also took the initiative to abandon his own property at home and hand it over to the agent to take care of, and he personally brought his wife to northern Anhui to take over this arduous task.

Speaking of which, this was the first time the two met, when Li Ying heard the news of her father's coming, she was nervous for several days, afraid that her father would have any opinions on Han Zheng, but how did she know that her lover was already a big man, and her father had been helping Han Zheng.

It can be said that Li Yiru is already Han Zheng's de facto liaison in Shanghai, and he has helped a lot if the Civil Affairs Department can settle in Shanghai, and even he has established it single-handedly.

Not long after Li Yiru inspected here, the first bank in northern Anhui was officially established and named "Northern Anhui Industrial Bank". The construction was personally funded by the military and Han Zheng, which was also Han Zheng's first major move in the construction of the local financial system, and the finances of several places in northern Anhui were also taken over by Li Yiru, who was responsible for sorting out the finances and was appointed as the director of the finance bureau of the inspection embassy.

Han Zheng was thoughtful about this appointment, he didn't want his subordinates to come out with a group like the Song family, but Li Yi is not only talented, but more importantly, this person has no other immediate family members except for his own daughter, this is the reason why Han Zheng handed over such an important position to the other party, you know, in the future, Li Yiru will hold the financial power of the first division in northern Anhui!
