Chen Zikun received a fierce general, and he was in a good mood, and the hazy weather seemed to have a tendency to turn clear.

With the vigorous assistance of the National Police Department, the provincial military garrison brigade was quickly resolved, and all officers above the regimental level were dismissed, and those who were willing to stay in their posts were retained, and those who were unwilling to do so were paid severance pay according to their ranks, with 30 yuan for platoon commanders, 50 yuan for company commanders, 70 yuan for battalion commanders, and 10 yuan for soldiers.

The treatment of those who are willing to stay in office is different, the white flowers, the fragrant pork stewed vermicelli, the military salary has been paid for three months, the officers and soldiers of the garrison brigade are not fools, Sun Kaiqin, Chen Zikun, who is different? It seems that the newcomer Chen Dashuai is more generous.

The two supplementary brigades are better handled, they are all newly recruited soldiers, they don't know what they know, and what the officials say is what they say, just send a few officers over to take over and take over directly.

The arsenal of the provincial capital stored a large number of weapons, ammunition and ordnance, including 10 Maxim heavy machine guns, 50 Danish Meiderson light machine guns, 1,200 old Hanyang-made sleeve rifles, 200 Western-style officers' sabers, 300 sabers, 300 Spanish-made box guns, 100 Yangbu bugs, 50 horses, brass whistles, foot drums, eight-fold binoculars, artillery mirrors, stretchers, horse lanterns, pickaxes, axes, shovels, bayonets, military uniforms, leather shoes, leggings, belts, and military caps, which were enough to equip three brigades.

According to the station staff, this batch of goods was shipped from Shanghai not long before the war, and it was thought that Lu Yongxiang had specially donated military materials to arm Sun Kaiqin.

Now these guns and ammunition are all cheaper Chen Zikun, just used to equip two supplementary brigades, the recruits of the two brigades have just received queue and shooting training, and they already have some soldiers, Chen Zikun organized these 5,000 men and horses into the first division of the new Jiangdong Provincial Army, but the selection of the division commander has become a big problem.

When Chen Zikun first came to Nantai, he was poor and white, and his talents were extremely scarce, there was only one Yan Su, one Zhao Yufeng, and Adjutant Zhao was still an unbearable role, and this problem was slightly solved after the Nantai bandits were absorbed, but whether it was Gai Longquan, Chen Shou or Xue Bin, they didn't have much culture, and the number of ways they fought was exactly the same as in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Commanding a division's men and horses, that is to catch ducks on the shelves, it will definitely be a bad thing.

After thinking about it, a name flashed in his mind, and Chen Zikun said: "Find Zhang Pengcheng for me." ”

Zhang Pengcheng is the adjutant director of the Overseer's Office, graduated from the Baoding Army Lecture Hall, studied at the Japanese non-commissioned officer school, and can be regarded as a military talent in a genuine class, but he has a stronger ability to connect the needle and lead the way, Chen Zikun has spent a lot of money on him, and a lot of military intelligence is sent by Zhang Pengcheng.

After Chen Zikun captured the provincial capital, Sun Kaiqin's old subordinates hid and fled, only Zhang Pengcheng was still calm and calm in the house, when the herald came to call him, he changed into a military uniform and came to the Overseer's Office to meet Chen Zikun in high spirits.

"Oh, Brother Pengcheng, please hurry up, our brother doesn't like this." Chen Zikun hurriedly helped, and Zhang Pengcheng smiled and groaned, and said, "I don't know what instructions the marshal has to pass on his humble position?" ”

Chen Zikun said: "Brother Peng Cheng is his own person, I will say it bluntly, now there is a position of division commander, I don't know if the brother is interested?" ”

Zhang Pengcheng's eyes lit up, the division commander is a powerful person, and he is much older than being an adjutant, although he is from a full-fledged military academy, he has not been newly appointed by Sun Kaiqin, he can only deign to be a staff member, and the military rank is a colonel, and the alumni of the same period are not generals.

"I'm afraid it's hard to be competent." Zhang Pengcheng said politely, in fact, his eyes had betrayed him, he wanted to be the division commander too much.

"Brother Peng Cheng is a top student of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School, if you are not competent, then no one in Jiangdong Province will have this qualification." Chen Zikun's sycophant Zhang Pengcheng is extremely comfortable, studying in Japan is the thing he is most proud of, but it is a pity that Sun Dujun does not reuse himself because of this, and now Chen Zikun will let himself be the teacher as soon as he comes, so there is no reason not to be excited.

"Then it is better to be respectful than to obey the order." Zhang Pengcheng snapped a standing, standard Japanese-style military salute.

The letter of appointment had already been written, stamped with the seal of the Jiangdong Provincial Overseer, and signed with Chen Zikun's name, although the Beijing government had not yet appointed him, Xiao Chen was actually a genuine Overseer.

Zhang Pengcheng took office and served as the commander of the newly formed First Division, and his rank was still colonel for the time being, but he got himself a pair of gold plate epaulettes of lieutenant general to hang on, but later found that Chen Zikun was still carrying the epaulettes of major general, so he quietly changed back to the rank of colonel.

The generals were all appointed as division commanders, and the hearts and eyes of Sun Kaiqin's old subordinates were alive, and they all gave gifts and entrusted relationships in the hope of finding a position under Chen Dashuai.

The work of the Military Bills Administration proceeded rapidly, and it took one day to take out the waste banknotes of the Salt Industry Bank and put them into use, and a total of 1 million yuan was issued, and the acceptance period was three months, that is, after three months, the same amount of banknotes or other banknotes could be redeemed with the bills.

With the money and the gun, Chen Zikun's hanging heart was finally put back in his stomach, and it only took two days.

He decided to meet Sun Kaiqin, the former Overseer and today's prisoner.

When he came to the back house of the Overseer's Office, Shuangxi reported that according to the plan, the garrison brigade commander Ma Chun was let go, Chen Zikun nodded: "Very good, but you can't let him wander around the provincial capital, send patrol police to arrest him, and force him to Duan Haixiang as soon as possible." ”

Shuangxi took the order, Chen Zikun asked Sun Kaiqin to be escorted up, Sun Inspector was wearing a satin shirt and pants, holding Buddhist beads in his hand, his eyes were slightly squinted, and he was not polite to the world, and he sat down and asked: "How are you going to deal with this handsome?" ”

Chen Zikun said: "Sun Inspector Jun is a veteran of Beiyang, a lowly boss, how to deal with it, even if you are always deceived by the traitor Lu Yongxiang, it will not be my turn to intervene, I just took Wu Yushuai's order to persuade you to rein in the precipice." ”

Sun Kaiqin was unmoved and didn't say a word.

Chen Zikun said again: "Since Qinshuai is already like this, you might as well retreat to Shanghai and be a rich man in the concession, which is no more comfortable than the sword and sword, I am humble and will ensure your absolute safety." ”

Sun Kaiqin pondered for a while and decided to compromise: "Okay, what do you want me to do?" ”

"On-power-down-field." Chen Zikun said word by word.

……

Although Chen Zikun has been in control of Jiangdong Provincial Capital for two days, the outside world still does not know that Jiangdong has been turned upside down, this is because the telegraph room and telephone bureau have been controlled by his troops, and the paper cannot contain the fire, and all he wants to do is to delay the time of exposure.

On the fifth day of the war, on September 8, the thirteenth year of the Republic of China, Sun Kaiqin, the governor of Jiangdong Province, telegraphed the whole country and announced his descent to the wilderness.

As soon as the power came out, the whole country was shocked.

On the Jiangsu-Zhejiang front, Qi Xieyuan's Soviet army and Lu Yongxiang's Zhejiang fought for several days, winning and losing each other, but on the whole, the two sides tried their best to fight only equally, and the war was in a state of stalemate.

All the generals were pleasantly surprised, the Jiangdong incident happened, Zhejiang's abdomen and back were blocked, and the balance of war had begun to tilt towards their side.

Qi Xieyuan shook his head and sighed: "This Xiao Chen, I really underestimated him, but it's not a good thing to make good use of strange soldiers, there are still 60,000 horses in the Jiangdong Army that haven't moved, I see how he ends, and I have to wipe his ass in the end." ”

That being said, he was still happy, after all, Jiangdong changed hands, which had a great impact on the war situation.

Hangzhou, Zhejiang Overseer Office, Lu Yongxiang was furious, Sun Kaiqin's 60,000 horses were defeated in less than a week, and he was defeated in the hands of a little-known junior, Lu Dashuai was not defeated, but this defeat came too suddenly, which caught him off guard.

The marshal was furious, broke a few teacups, the adjutant staff officer and others were silent, far away and did not dare to persuade each other, suddenly a person rushed in from outside, saying that the big thing was not good, and the adjutants hurriedly stopped him, saying that the marshal was losing his temper, and he would talk about it another day.

The man hurriedly said: "The military situation on the front line is urgent, and I dare not report it." ”

Lu Yongxiang asked from afar: "What's the matter, say!" ”

The man walked into the house and whispered: "Dashuai, Xianxia Pass missed, Sun Chuanfang called." ”

This is not only the abdomen and back of the enemy, it is simply a three-sided attack, Xianxia Pass is a natural danger between Fujian and Zhejiang, a husband is a pass of ten thousand people, and the Zhejiang army is heavily guarded, Sun Chuanfang can't do it with wings.

"Why did you miss it?" Lu Yongxiang asked.

"Zhang Guowei of the second division defected with the enemy and led the wolf into the house." The person who came reported the truth.

At the moment of the great enemy, Lu Yongxiang did not get angry, and gathered the staff officers to discuss countermeasures, and now he has understood, why Sun Chuanfang is not sooner or later, choose this time to break through the Xianxia Pass, since the declaration of war, this guy has been sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, sitting and watching the battle in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, in order to reap the benefits of the fishermen, but the Jiangdong incident, Chen Zikun will enter Zhejiang at any time, Sun Chuanfang is afraid that Zhejiang will fall into the hands of others, so he can't wait to use the relationship to raise troops into the customs.

It was not too late to make amends, Lu Yongxiang quickly mobilized men and horses to reinforce Xianxia Pass, trying to block Sun Chuanfang, and dispatched two brigades to guard against Jiangdong.

After arranging military affairs, Lu Yongxiang called his son Lu Xiaojia and said, "Xiaojia, my father plans to send you to Fengtian to see Zhang Yuting and ask him to send troops to solve his urgent needs." ”

Lu Xiaojia said: "Dad, hasn't Zhang Zuolin already announced a crusade against Cao Kun?" ”

Lu Yongxiang said: "The announcement is the announcement, the real fight is the real fight, two different things, Daddy knows, they all want to wait for Daddy's strength to fight almost before they start, hum, if Dad steps down, their lips will be cold, and they will not be happy, you have to let Zhang Huzi understand this truth." ”

Lu Xiaojia blinked: "I know Dad, I'll go pack my luggage." "My heart is happy, and I can take the opportunity to go out and drink again.
