On 6 August, Wang Jundao ordered that two-thirds of the more than 300,000 members of the armed regiment who had been formed in the three provinces of Zhili, Shandong, and Henan for more than half a year should be drawn into Yanjing to form an army.

On August 18, 220,000 members of the martial arts regiment who had undergone half a year of military martial arts baptism and military training in cold weapons all arrived in Yanjing, and 20,000 of them were women.

The women are trained by the female instructors of the Phoenix Guard, and there are specialized military medical nurses as medical training officers, in addition to various trainers, who also train each woman according to her preferences and abilities.

These women will be trained as angels in white on the battlefield and various logistics personnel, Wang Jundao will not let women go to the front line to fight bloody battles with the enemy, not because of surname discrimination, but because women are inherently inferior to men on the battlefield.

Of course, a small number of outstanding people who are not worse than men, Wang Jundao will not restrict them, he does not mind the appearance of female generals in his army, such as Qiu Jin, the only female cadet among the fourth graduates of the Chinese Military Academy, Wang Jundao directly appointed her as a female corps-level instructor.

In two days, the 200,000 men's martial arts regiments were all organized into a new army according to the military system, and the military instructors were all graduates of the third and fourth phases of the Chinese Military Academy. Most of the graduates of the fourth phase of military academies can only serve as company-level instructors.

Under normal circumstances, only after passing the examination, being able to accomplish the training tasks excellently, and being able to defeat one's opponents in the military exercises once a month, and winning more than four times in a total of six exercises in six months, can one serve as an officer with a balance with the training level after the completion of military training, otherwise he can only continue to serve as the next batch of military training officers or be transferred to other places to serve as training officers.

Of course, there are other ways to choose, that is, if you can't win four times in the exercise, then if you want to enter the army and go to the front to make meritorious contributions, you will be demoted to two levels as an officer.

For example, if you are a company-level instructor during training, but you can't win four of the six exercises, and you don't want to continue to be a military instructor, you can only be demoted two levels in a row and go directly to the front line as a squad leader.

In addition, it is impossible for each winning instructor to serve as an officer in the team he trains, because after the six-month training, the unit will be reorganized, and this time the organization is a branch of the army, that is, the performance and achievements of the soldiers in the past six months will be evaluated, and they will be divided into infantry, cavalry, artillery, engineers, medical troops, signal troops, reconnaissance troops, special forces, special forces, and other arms.

After the organization is formed, the large army will undergo a large-scale military training for one to three months, and finally it will actually become an army, go to the front line, and go to the battlefield.

A soldier who can really go to the battlefield must first go through more than six months of training in the military regiment, then six months of training in the new army, and then one to three months of large-scale military training before he can go to the battlefield.

In other words, a soldier who can go to the battlefield must go through at least thirteen months of military hard training.

In other words, Wang Jundao's recruitment system is actually no longer directly recruited by the army, but recruited by the military regiment under the military force of the military department, and it is possible to become a recruit of the Dragon and Tiger Army by practicing martial arts and conducting cold weapon military training for more than six months.

Moreover, Wang Jundao has strictly controlled the age of recruits, to enter the military regiment, they must be over 16 years old and under 26 years old, and to enter the Dragon and Tiger Army, they must be over 18 years old and under 28 years old, and the normal retirement age of soldiers is 32 years old.

There is also strict control in terms of physique, if you want to enter the martial arts, the physique test must meet the standard, and the results of the physical examination are the better the priority, but there is no hard surname requirement in height and appearance, as long as it is normal, after all, many times people can not be good-looking.

Of course, there is also a special recruitment system, as long as you have the courage, ability, and ability, you can pass the open special recruitment procedures, and you can also directly enter the new barracks of the Dragon and Tiger Army, which is prepared by Wang Jundao for those strange people and capable warriors.

220,000 recruits gathered in Nanyuan, so that Nanyuan has gathered a full 600,000 troops, if it is not for Nanyuan has been expanded to Taihang Mountain, I am afraid that with the former Nanyuan, it will not be able to withstand the toss of so many troops.

The Dragon and Tiger Legion has all been equipped with new Chinese uniforms and the 'Piercing Sky' generation of weapons, the weapons are semi-automated, the cost of fully automated weapons is extremely high, and the production process is also very complicated, and only a small number of troops can be equipped for the time being, including special forces and Wang Jundao's Dragon and Tiger Guard.

The original uniforms and weapons were also eliminated and became the training weapons of the new army.

At present, the three provinces of Zhili, Henan, and Shandong have built five large arsenals, seven medium-sized arsenals, and nine small arsenals, all of which are stepping up the production of the 'Piercing Heaven' generation of weapons, and by the time the training of recruits is over, the 'Piercing Heaven' weapons can basically be equipped with the new army.

Because of the Cabinet, Wang Jundao can no longer do everything himself, only need to attend a cabinet meeting once a week, listen to the reports of the heads of various cabinet departments, and give corresponding opinions, usually the cabinet prime minister and vice minister handle administrative affairs, in case of emergency, the cabinet prime minister and vice minister can come directly to him.

A small part of Wang Jundao's free time is spent with Tai Mingyue, Xu Luoyan, Xu Qingyun, Yun Ya, Xiao Yuyan, and Biyuxue, and most of the rest of the time is spent on army construction and science and technology construction.

In just half a month, the new army that has undergone half a year of military regiment training has thoroughly adapted itself to the modern military training of the Dragon and Tiger Regiment; because they have experienced more than half a year of cold weapon military training before, these recruits are all extremely strong, and most of the modern military training subjects can be successfully completed; under the influence of new tactics, new ideas, and new concepts, the military appearance and quality of the new recruits are improving every day.

Knowing that the training of recruits was on the right track and that they had become combatable soldiers, enough to sit in Yanjing, Wang Jundao had no worries at all and decided to carry out the next stage of military operations.

In fact, there is no reason for Wang Jundao not to start a military operation, because China's 'sky' has changed.

On September 5, Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Huguang, and Liu Kunyi, the governor of Liangjiang, formed an alliance to denounce Wang Jundao in the name of Wang Jundao's murder of the monarch and usurpation.

As if it had been agreed, it was said that Songfan, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, also denounced Wang Jundao, and the governor of Sichuan, Kuijun, and the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, Wei Guangtao, also denounced Wang Jundao and denounced him for being rebellious.

Condemnation is condemnation, and the governors of the provinces have not made any move to send troops, because the governors are desperately expanding their armies.

On September 7, Yanjing, the General Staff Headquarters of the Military Hall, Wang Jundao gathered the commanders of the seven major legions of the Dragon and Tiger Army to discuss the matter of sending troops to Shanxi.

Wang Jundao said: "Now, the Qing Dynasty has fallen, the governors and governors of the provinces are ready to move, the governors of Shaanxi and Gansu and the governors of Shanxi have formed an alliance to advance and retreat together, the governors of Yunnan and Guizhou and the governors of Sichuan have formed an alliance and do not recognize us, the governors of Liangjiang and Huguang have also reached a cooperative relationship, and the provinces are speeding up the expansion of the army, I want it not long before we will face threats from all sides, I decided to send troops to Shanxi to completely break this deadlock, and at the same time give the governors and governors of the provinces a huge deterrent." ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't hide the excitement in their hearts, since the day the seven legions of the Dragon and Tiger Army were established, everyone was looking forward to today, and since the fall of the Qing Dynasty more than a month ago, they were looking forward to this day, looking forward to leading the troops to attack and unify the world.

It's a pity that Wang Jundao has never given an order, so that they are all holding back a fire in their hearts, a raging fire of war.

Now, the flames of war have been ignited, and everyone is crying out to be the vanguard.

Wang Jundao pressed his hand, signaled everyone to calm down first, and waited until everyone was quiet before he said: "In this battle, we will play the majesty of the Dragon and Tiger Legion, the ferocity of the Dragon and Tiger Legion, and the undefeated name of the Dragon and Tiger Legion, so I plan to use the six legions to take down Shanxi at the fastest speed and with the strongest attitude, so that the governors and governors of all provinces will tremble, be afraid, and shudder when they hear the prestige of the Dragon and Tiger Legion!" ”

The seven legion commanders were enthusiastic when they heard this, and they all wanted to lead their troops into the battlefield immediately!

However, although excited, but no one has lost their minds because of this, after more than a year of war baptism and military training, following Wang Jundao, it is difficult to have anything to make them lose their minds, at least, everyone here has the wind of a general who has collapsed in front of Mount Tai and has not changed his color.

Yang Poyu said: "Commander, put six legions into Shanxi, if the Governor of Huguang and the Governor of Liangjiang lead the troops north to attack Henan and Shandong, what should we do?" ”

Pang Wai was also very worried that Zhang Zhidong and Liu Kun would take advantage of the fire to rob, he nodded and said: "Since last year, Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Huguang, and Zhang Biao, the governor of Hubei, formed the Hubei army, this half a year, the Hubei army has developed rapidly, and now there are 100,000 people, more than half a month ago, Liu Kunyi, the governor of Liangjiang, also ordered Li Zhanchun, the governor of Jiangnan, to reorganize the training army and local army in various places, and form the Anhui army and the Soviet army, and now the two armies add up to 100,000 people. ”

Wang Jundao nodded and said: "So I said, this time to attack Shanxi, only six legions will be used, and one legion will be left, and this legion will be used to defend Zhang Zhidong and Liu Kunyi." ”

Xiang Zilong couldn't help but ask, "Which legion does the commander plan to keep?" ”

"The Seventh Legion!"

Wang Jundao said in a dignified voice: "The Seventh Army is a cavalry corps, the fastest speed, the strongest mobile surname, can reinforce all parts of the country in the shortest time, now there are tiger spirits in Henan, there are tiger roar divisions in Shandong, and there are martial arts regiments as local armed forces in various places, Zhang Zhidong and Liu Kunyi are not so easy to succeed, when the time comes, they will only hit the head and break the blood, and when we defeat Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Gansu, we can clean them up, as long as we defeat Zhang Zhidong and Liu Kunyi, and take the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, Most of China has been reclaimed by us. ”

Hiss!

The seven army commanders couldn't help but gasp, Wang Jun said that this is going to start a war one after another!

After half a ring, the commanders of the seven legions all stood up and said loudly: "Commander, give orders." ”

Seeing this situation, Wang Jundao also stood up, pointed to the huge sand table with his baton, and said loudly: "The generals will listen to the order, after three days, I will personally lead the army, conquer Shanxi, and open the prelude to the unification of China. ”

The seven army commanders shouted in unison: "We will follow the commander to the death, unify China, and recast the country!" ”

Wang Jundao's eyes slowly swept over the seven army commanders who looked firm and looked at death as if they were home, and slowly spoke: "Everyone go and prepare well, and in three days, the army will set off from Yanjing!" Okay, you go on, I'll go to the cabinet, since we want to go to war, we want to fight Shanxi, we can't attack but not occupy, occupy but not govern, so the cabinet side also has a meeting. ”

The seven army commanders said in unison: "Yes, Commander! (To be continued.) )
