Wang Jundao said with a smile: "Yes, these divisions that have been canceled will be organized into armies, and in the future, the number of the troops will become the first army of the Guards Corps, the second army, and the tenth army, as for how many divisions there are under each army, then it will be numbered under each army, for example, the Sixth Army has three divisions, which are the first division of the Sixth Army, the second division of the Sixth Army, and the third division of the Sixth Army. But that's all for later, so let's not think about it for now. ”

As soon as Wang Jundao's words were finished, everyone understood that no matter what happened in the future, what Wang Jundao meant now was that these divisions that had been canceled would be incorporated into the Guards Corps, but the Guards Corps was different from other corps, the Guards Corps was directly under the army, and the other corps were directly under the division.

If these corps are organized, each corps from the 1st Army to the 7th Corps plus the divisions directly under the corps will be ten divisions, and the Guards Corps will be ten corps.

To put it bluntly, the Guards Legion is a system, equivalent to the Central Legion, and the First Legion to the Seventh Legion is another system, equivalent to the local Legion, and the object of allegiance of the legions of the two systems is naturally Wang Jundao.

In addition, there are many units that are outside the central corps system and the local corps system, and they are all readable troops, but the direct allegiance of these troops is also Wang Jundao.

These units include the Praetorian Guard, the Excalibur Special Forces, the Sharp Arrow Special Forces, the Predator-Blooded Cavalry Division, the Mechanical Motorized Infantry Division, which is transforming to mechanization and motorized infantry, and the Reading Artillery Division, which is outside the legions.

To put it in layman's terms, in terms of the army, the Guards Corps and the First Army Corps to the Seventh Army Corps, the Excalibur Special Forces, the Sharp Arrow Special Forces, the Iron-Blooded Cavalry Corps, the Mechanical Motorized Infantry Division, the Reading Artillery Division, etc., are actually all level-level units, just like a country has provinces, municipalities, and special administrative regions.

But whether it is a corps or a special force, although they all accept the command of the military hall, they only obey Wang Jundao, because Wang Jundao is the commander-in-chief of the army, navy and air force.

That is to say, Wang Jundao, who is loyal to the army, accepts the command of the military hall, because the military hall is actually a staff organ of Wang Jundao to put it bluntly, and it is only responsible for Wang Jundao alone.

After another discussion and decision, the establishment of the 10 corps of the Guards Corps was decided, and the commander, deputy commander, and chief of staff of each corps were also decided.

The commanders, deputy commanders, and chiefs of staff of the First, Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Armies remained unchanged, and the command system remained unchanged, but the organization was expanded on the original basis, and each army changed from 40,000 to 50,000.

The Sixth Army to the Tenth Army each had more than 40,000 men.

Liu Chengxiang, commander of the Sixth Army, Zhang Zhongxia, deputy commander, and Chen Chunhua, chief of staff.

Commander of the Seventh Army Xu Shuzheng, Deputy Commander Wu Peifu, and Chief of Staff Jiang Fangzhen.

Eighth Army Commander Lu Sen, Deputy Army Commander Sun Liechen, and Chief of Staff Zhang Zuolin.

Liao Guanyin, commander of the Ninth Army, Qiu Jin, deputy commander, and Ye Jianlan, chief of staff.

The Tenth Army is long Cheng Mingming, deputy commander Yuan Meifeng, and chief of staff Lu Changyi.

After the commanders, deputy commanders, and chiefs of staff of each army were completely determined, Wang Jundao decided to set up a construction corps, which was initially set at 300,000 people, under the dual leadership of the military hall and the cabinet, integrating military, administrative, legislative, and judicial affairs, as well as agriculture, industry, and commerce, and could be self-sufficient, and could also create benefits for the military hall and the cabinet.

To put it bluntly, the construction legion is equivalent to a province that can be moved.

The purpose of this construction corps is to develop the areas inside and outside Heilongjiang!

In the following months, after the formation of the various armies of the Guards Corps, the construction corps was also in full swing.

In order to alleviate the pressure, Wang Jundao directly assigned the task of forming the construction corps to each province, with each province on average only responsible for the formation of one subordinate division of the construction corps, while the military soldiers of the construction corps were selected from the military regiments and the people in various places, and the administrative officials were selected from the political and cultural officials in various localities, all of which were voluntary.

In just five months, the construction corps was formed, and unexpectedly, it exceeded Wang Jundao's expectations, with a total of 400,000 people, including nearly 300,000 men and more than 100,000 women.

Although the proportion of women is relatively small, in the northeast after the ravages of the Russian army, coupled with the suppression of bandits, resulting in at least hundreds of thousands of deaths, most of them are men, and the number of women has exceeded that of men, and outside Heilongjiang, after the dragon and tiger army wiped out hundreds of thousands of Russian troops, the number of women in the Far East, where there are more women than men, is much larger than men, hundreds of thousands of people have moved over, and two or three hundred thousand men have passed, and it is impossible to level the ratio of men and women in the northeast.

After the formation of the construction corps, Wang Jundao appointed his father-in-law, the former governor of Shanxi, Yuxian, as the commander of the construction corps, and appointed the former Fengtian general Zengqi as the deputy commander.

In the process of forming the construction corps, the immigration policy has also spread throughout the country through propaganda, although many people are reluctant to leave their homeland and go to the bitter cold land of the northeast, but there are also many people who can't resist the temptation of coal mines, iron ore, oil, gold, etc., and resolutely decide to go.

Originally, not many people from all over the country went to the northeast, but the cities and counties under the densely populated provinces added up to a lot of people, and in a few months, preliminary statistics showed that there were as many as 3 million people, of which men stood in the vast majority, and women only had less than one-tenth, and most of them were men's family members.

Of course, for the time being, Wang Jundao did not issue a resettlement plan, he had to let the construction corps plan the Northeast well and establish a production and development model suitable for the Northeast, and then he would start to really resettle, because then it would be convenient to manage these people who moved over, otherwise it would be too chaotic and there would be big problems, and it would not be to build the Northeast, but to destroy the Northeast.

In May 1904, when the construction corps gathered in Yanjing from various provinces and rushed to the northeast, Wang Jundao also launched a war to attack the Mongolian Plateau and Xinjiang Province.

In this battle, Wang Jundao mobilized more than 500,000 troops, of which 150,000 were cavalry, almost all the cavalry in the Dragon and Tiger Army.

The more than 500,000 troops included the 140,000 troops dispatched by the Fifth Army Corps stationed in Gansu, Qinghai, Ningxia, and Shaanxi provinces, and the 120,000 troops dispatched by the Seventh Army Corps stationed in Rehe, Chahar, and Suiyuan provinces.

Wang Jundao transferred 50,000 men from the 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 6th legions to form four temporary armies to join this great march.

These four armies were named the New First Army, the New Second Army, the New Third Army, and the New Fourth Army by Wang Jundao, and the army commanders were Zhang Decheng, Cao Futian, Li Jinglin, and Xu Zhengrong respectively.

In addition, Wang Jundao also transferred 30,000 tiger and leopard cavalry of the Fifth Army of the Guards Corps to join the battle, which was personally led by Long Zhan, the commander of the Fifth Army.

The tiger and leopard cavalry started from Tai'an, Shandong, until now, more than five years, with 300 tigers and leopards to 30,000 tigers and leopards, the size of the battle has experienced hundreds of battles, can be said to be a hundred battles, is the Chinese dragon and tiger army in the famous hundred battles of the hero.

The army attacking Mongolia was the First Front Army, with a total strength of more than 200,000, including 100,000 cavalry, with Yang Polu, chief of staff and commander of the First Army Corps, as the commander-in-chief, Yue Fengxian as the deputy commander-in-chief, Murong Ke as the chief of the general staff, and Long Zhan as the deputy chief of the general staff.

The army attacking Xinjiang Province was the Second Front Army, with a total strength of more than 300,000 troops, with Xu Jian, the commander-in-chief of the army and the commander of the Second Army Corps, as the commander-in-chief, Xiang Zilong, the vice minister of the army and the commander of the Fifth Army Corps, as the deputy commander-in-chief, Kang Dingbei as the chief of the general staff, and Xu Zhengrong as the deputy chief of the general staff.

Since the end of the Northeast War in November last year, after half a year, the Chinese Dragon and Tiger Army has once again shown its fangs to the world.

On May 25, the main force of the First Front Army captured the southernmost left wing of the Tushetu Khan Department in Outer Mongolia, and then the main force of the army quickly advanced northward and pointed directly at Kulen (Ulaanbaatar), an important city in Outer Mongolia.

On May 27, the main force of the Second Front Army entered the territory of Xinjiang Province, and defeated the 30,000 new army (Xinjiang Provincial Army) led by Rao Yingqi, the governor of Xinjiang Province, to the east of Hami, and occupied Hami.

On June 5, the main force of the Second Front Army entered the Turpan area, defeated Rao Yingqi's 20,000 new troops again, and then occupied Turpan.

The Houlong and Tiger army was divided into two routes, and the army of the South Road was more than 100,000, led by Xiang Zilong and Xu Zhengrong, extending the southern foot of Tianshan to the west, and capturing important towns in Xinjiang Province one by one along the way.

The strength of the North Road army was more than 200,000, led by Xu Jian and Kangdingbei, extending the northern foot of Tianshan to the west, first capturing Wulumuqi (Urumqi), and then until Ili.

On the Mongolian Plateau, as of June 8, the cavalry of the Dragon and Tiger Army, equipped with hot weapons, had defeated the cavalry of the Tushetu Khan armed with cold weapons nine times in a row, and used heavy artillery, mortars, and heavy machine guns as cover to force the Tule River, defeated the Tushetu Khan in one fell swoop, and captured many Tushetu Khan princes and nobles, including the Tushetu Khan.

After that, the political workers of the Dragon and Tiger Army began to liberate the serfs and herdsmen of the Tushetu Khan Department under the control of the Dragon and Tiger Army, and implemented policies such as ethnic equality to gain the hearts of the people.

In three days, the Dragon and Tiger Army pushed the troops of the northern front to the Russian border, and the Russian border city of Kyakhta was already in sight.

In the east of the Mongolian Plateau, as of June 9, the iron-blooded cavalry army, which had already arrived in Manchuria, under the leadership of Ma Qi, defeated the 6,000 cavalry of the Chechen Khan's Zhongqian Banner in the east of Mongolia, and marched up the bank of the Krulun River to the Chechen Khan.

On June 13, the North Road Army of the Second Front Army, under the command of Xu Jian and Kangdingbei, defeated Rao Yingqi's new army in the east of Wulumuqi, and captured Wulumuqi with lightning speed, Rao Yingqi led 30,000 remnants of the army to flee westward and defect to Yuan Shikai in Yili.

Yuan Shikai stayed in Xinjiang Province for nearly four years, and it took him less than half a year to empty the former Ili General Chang Gung, and in less than a year, he completely killed Chang Gung and acted as General Yili.

Subsequently, it took him only one year to turn the 30,000 troops in the Ili region into 100,000 troops, and through nearly two years of development, this army has become 150,000, although I dare not say that all of them are elite soldiers, but more than two-thirds of the soldiers are definitely elite.

The most important thing is that this army was established by Yuan Shikai step by step, and he was completely surnamed Yuan, with this Yuan army, Yuan Shikai played a great name of 'Yuan Datou' in this Western Regions!

Last year, before winter, Wang Jundao's Dragon and Tiger Army defeated the Russian coalition army, recovered the northeast, and occupied the Russian Far East, due to the winter, Siberia was completely frozen, and Russia could not reinforce to the east, so that Wang Jundao completely wiped out the remnants of the Russian army in the Far East, and has completely gained a foothold in the Far East, forcing the Russian Pacific Fleet Haisenwei Detachment to retreat to Europe.

Although the Russian army was unable to mobilize a large number of troops to reinforce the Far East due to climate reasons, they turned to support Yuan Shikai, who was located in Xinjiang Province, and sold a large number of weapons to Yuan Shikai at a low price or even a low price, in an attempt to let Yuan Shikai deal with Wang Jundao.

Now Yuan Shikai has formed a full 150,000 Yuan army, and all of them are equipped with advanced Western weapons, with Rao Yingqi's 30,000 troops to take refuge, his strength has reached a higher level! (To be continued.) )
