Chapter 154: Unification of China 4
At the end of December, following Li Jingxi, Xu Yingqi and others into the cabinet as officials, and the governors of the southern provinces were also sent one after another, on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the 50,000 Dragon and Tiger Army led by Xiang Zilong finally occupied Lhasa (Lhasa), and built the strategic line from Xining to Lhasa, and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau was directly divided into two provinces by Wang Jundao, namely Qinghai Province and Qinghai-Tibet Province, the capital of Qinghai Province was Xining, and the capital of Qinghai-Tibet Province was Lhasa.
At the beginning of January, the battle to suppress bandits in the southern provinces had come to an end, with 60,000 elite soldiers from the captured 150,000 Sichuan troops, 40,000 elite soldiers from the captured 110,000 Yunnan troops, 30,000 elite soldiers from the captured 80,000 noble troops, 70,000 elite soldiers from the surrendered Hubei and Hunan armies, 80,000 elite soldiers from the captured 200,000 Soviet, Anhui, and Jiangxi armies, and 120,000 elite soldiers from the 250,000 Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, and Guizhou armies. A total of more than 400,000 elite soldiers who met the conditions of the Dragon and Tiger Army were successively driven to the headquarters camp of the Chinese Dragon and Tiger Army in Yanjing Nanyuan.
The reason why these elite soldiers who had been incorporated into the Dragon and Tiger Army were recalled to Yanjing was to let them undergo modern military training under the personal command of Wang Jundao and accept modern military thinking, and most importantly, let them improve their various qualities in the course of training and understand who they would be loyal to in the future.
Returning to Beijing with the recruited recruits and divisions were the Guards Corps, the First Army Reading Division, the First Army Reading Brigade, the Second Army Reading Division, the Second Army Reading Brigade, the Second Reading Brigade of the Second Army Corps, Liao Guanyin's Division, Qiu Jin's Division, Ye Jianlan's Division, and the 100,000 recruits formed a few months ago in Shaanxi and Shanxi with the elite of the Wu Regiment.

The headquarters of the Fourth Army Corps is in Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Fujian provinces, the headquarters of the Corps is in Hangzhou, and the garrison situation is that the 10th and 40th Divisions are stationed in Zhejiang Province, the 11th and 41st Divisions are stationed in Fujian Province, and the 12th and 42nd Divisions are stationed in Jiangxi Province.
The garrison of the Fifth Army Corps is Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai, and Ningxia provinces, the headquarters of the corps is in Lanzhou, and the garrison situation is that the divisions directly under the Fifth Army Corps, the 13th Division, and the 46th Division are stationed in Gansu Province, the 14th, 47th, and 48th Divisions are stationed in Shaanxi Province, the 15th and 49th Divisions are stationed in Ningxia Province, and the 50th and 51st Divisions are stationed in Qinghai Province.

The garrison of the Seventh Army Corps is Rehe, Chahar, and Suiyuan Provinces, the headquarters of the Corps is in Guisui, and the garrison situation is that the 19th and 58th Divisions are stationed in Suiyuan Province, the 20th and 59th Divisions are stationed in Rehe Province, and the 21st and 60th Divisions are stationed in Chahar Province.
The garrison of the Guards Corps was in the three provinces of Zhili, Shandong, and Shanxi, with the First Army and the Fourth Army stationed in Shandong Province respectively, the Second Army stationed in Shanxi Province, and the Third Army and the Fifth Army stationed in Zhili Province.
In the process, Wang Jundao directly ordered the 1st to 21st Divisions of the Dragon and Tiger Army to be reorganized into a 20,000-strong division, and although the 22nd to 63rd Divisions were nominally 15,000 divisions, many divisions actually only had 10,000 troops, but Wang Jundao did not fill them up for the time being, nor did he order each division to recruit troops on its own.
At this point, the sum of the seven major army corps, excluding the divisions directly under the corps that have not yet been organized by the Third Army Corps, the Fourth Army Corps, the Sixth Army Corps, and the Seventh Army Corps, as well as the 37th Division, 38th Division, 39th Division, 43rd Division, 44th Division, 45th Division, 55th Division, 56th Division, 57th Division, 61st Division, 62nd Division, and 63rd Division, there are already more than 800,000 troops.
In Yanjing, the 400,000 elite soldiers from the southern provinces have been completely shaken off the mess of more than a month ago under the dual training of military instructors and martial arts instructors, and after more than a month of modern military training, and under the education of counselors, instructors, instructors, and other political workers at all levels, they have experienced a double baptism of mind and body, and have gradually merged into a whole.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Jundao directly combined the 400,000 army with the Reading Division of the First Army Corps, the Reading Brigade of the First Army Corps, the Reading Force Division of the Second Army Corps, the First Reading Force Brigade of the Second Army Corps, the Second Reading Brigade of the Second Army Corps, Qiu Jin Division, Liao Guanyin Division, Ye Jianlan Division, and 100,000 Shanxi and Shaanxi recruits.
After another three months of arduous training, by the end of May, this army of nearly 600,000 had completely turned into the Chinese Dragon and Tiger Army, and was no longer the Sichuan Army, the Yunnan Army, the Hubei Army, the Hunan Army, the Anhui Army, and the Soviet Army with the title of isolated surname.
Subsequently, Wang Jundao organized the 600,000 troops.
First of all, 5,000 elites were selected from among them, combined with the original special forces, and formed into two ace special forces directly under Wang Jundao, and the names were set as the 'Divine Sword' special forces and the 'Sharp Arrow' special forces, both of which were brigade-level establishments, with 5,000 people in each brigade, and Pei Jianfeng and Luo Jianqiu served as the commanders of the special operations brigade respectively.
Another 5,000 people were selected from among them, trained by Li Jinghua and directed by Chen Shijun, trained as special agents, and co-edited with the 'Luo Net' secret spies to establish the China Intelligence Bureau directly under Wang Jundao.
20,000 people were selected to form a marine corps, organized into a division, under the jurisdiction of four reading combat brigades, each brigade of 5,000 people, with Leng Feng, the former commander of the special forces special operations division, serving as the commander of the marine division.
50,000 people were selected and incorporated into the naval forces that had been combined by the Beiyang Fleet and the Nanyang Fleet to form the Imperial Chinese Navy Fleet, and these 400,000 people were all from the south, and most of them were proficient in water surnames, so 50,000 people were quickly selected, and as long as they underwent naval training, in the near future, they will all be completely converted from army soldiers to navy soldiers.
Of the remaining 520,000 troops, Wang Jundao first formed divisions directly under the Third Army Corps, the Fourth Army Corps, the Sixth Army Corps, and the Seventh Army Corps, and then formed the 37th, 38th, 39th, 43rd, 44th, 45th, 55th, 56th, 57th, 61st, 62nd, and 63rd Divisions, and transferred these more than 10 divisions to their respective corps and placed them under the command of each corps.
Wang Jundao transferred 20,000 men to the Seven Legions, so that all the divisions under the corps that were dissatisfied with the establishment due to the battle were full.
For the last 240,000 people, Wang Jundao temporarily organized 24 C divisions with an establishment of 10,000 people, and the number was started from the 64th Division of the Chinese Dragon and Tiger Army and continued to the 87th Division.
Liao Guanyin, Qiu Jin, Ye Jianlan, Jiang Fangzhen, Wu Peifu, Xu Shuzheng, Liu Chengxiang and other outstanding military figures were all appointed as division commanders, and their subordinate units were the 64th Division, the 65th Division, the 66th Division, the 67th Division, the 68th Division, the 69th, and the 70th Division.
At the time when the army organization was completely completed, the military regiment system in the southern provinces was also initially completed, but due to human, material, financial, and energetic reasons, Wang Jundao did not extend the military regiment system to almost all towns and towns as he did in Zhili, Shandong, Henan, Shaanxi, and Shanxi.
Instead, three to five towns and towns are selected from a county town as the implementation place of the first phase of the martial arts regiment system for a period of three years, and after three years, the following three to five towns will be replaced as the implementation place of the second phase of the martial arts regiment, so that only four or five phases of reincarnation are needed, and the martial wind will be completely spread throughout the land of China, and then there will be no worries about the source of excellent soldiers.
In the process of implementing the Wutuan system, because the Chinese Imperial Government implemented a strict military management system for local security, the new policies such as land policy, commercial policy, and industrial policy were implemented in full swing, and in just over half a year, they have all developed from provincial capitals to prefecture-level cities, and until now they have been implemented in some relatively important towns and towns, and in half a year at most, the new policies will be able to spread throughout most parts of China.
Since all divisions in each province have been fully staffed, weapons and equipment are basically in place, and the rule of the Chinese Imperial Political Axe has also become stable, the next task is to vigorously develop industry and economy under the leadership of the Central Political Axe.
At the end of June, Wang Jundao directly ordered the Seven Army Corps to summon the commanders of the Seven Army Corps to Beijing, and bring all the divisions directly under each Army Corps to the capital, and all the military affairs of each Army Corps were handled by the deputy corps commander and the chief of staff of the Corps.
The reason why the commander of the Seventh Army was ordered to enter Beijing was very simple, the time had come for a decisive battle with the Russian army entrenched in northeast China. (To be continued.) )
