Song Zhewu asked Nanjing to increase the number, but he couldn't get a reply for a long time, but Song Zhewu couldn't wait for this matter, and after a long time, these people probably thought that he Song Zhewu was fooling them, which was easy to cause instability in the army.

Song Zhewu decided not to wait for the official order of Nanjing's political axe, and first began to train the personnel of the Jin Sui Army and the Northwest Army who were captured by Tou Cheng, and let go of the number first, anyway, no matter whether Nanjing gives it or not, this army still has to be built, and it is a big deal to give him the number of the previous several armies, and it doesn't matter if his old army doesn't have a number, and he doesn't point to Nanjing for military pay anyway.

At present, Song Zhewu has a large number of captured and surrendered personnel of the Jin Sui Army and the Northwest Army, among these people there are: more than 6,000 people in Wang Bi's 37th Division, more than 1,000 troops directly under the 13th Army of the Jin Sui Army in Li Yaoming, more than 15,000 people in Pang Bingxun's 14th Division, more than 12,000 people in the Chuxi Spring Division captured by Li Sichi and Li Ruifang, and more than 6,000 people in the five Jinsui Army Artillery Regiments captured at the same time, and these troops add up to more than 40,000 people. In addition, there are now more than 8,000 people in Suiyuan's Jingyue Xiubu, with a total of more than 50,000 people.

These personnel of the Jin Sui Army and the Northwest Army have all received complete military training, so naturally there is no need to start the training from the basics. However, although the Jin Sui Army and the Northwest Army had their own operational characteristics, there was still a big difference between them and the Fourth Route Army's combat style, and in order for these people to integrate into the Fourth Route Army as soon as possible, it was necessary to conduct a period of retraining for soldiers and officers.

With the approval of Song Zhewu, Han Guangdi and Wang Zhe, the training director of the Fourth Route Army, removed a large number of grassroots officers from various units of the Fourth Route Army near Taiyuan as temporary instructors for training.

Jing Yuexiu directly sent a training regiment there, and these officers were carefully selected by Song Zhewu at the behest of Xiao Guodong, Tao Rong, and Fang Zhen, and when they were reorganized in the future, they would directly stay in Jing Yuexiu's troops as officers at all levels.

This matter has just been over, and another happy event is coming, Zhang Xueliang sent someone to send Jia Jingde and Xue Dubi to Taiyuan.

Jia Jingde and Xue Dubi were very depressed, and it could be seen that the defeat of the anti-Chiang coalition army had stimulated the two of them deeply.

Jia Jingde, in particular, still has a deep sense of self-blame. He believes that Yan Xishan has come to this point, which has a lot to do with him Jia Jingde, and it is precisely because he vigorously agitated and supported that Yan Xishan launched the Central Plains War.

Moreover, he himself believes that he has betrayed Yan Xishan's trust and failed to finally persuade Zhang Xueliang to oppose Chiang, resulting in Yan Xishan missing a strong reinforcement that was originally counted on his side at the beginning of the anti-Chiang movement.

Therefore, Jia Jingde resolutely said, 'I want to go home and live in seclusion, and never ask about political affairs again'.

For such a long-awaited talent, Song Zhewu will let go easily, since he is here, it is not so easy to leave.

At this time, Song Zhewu had already moved into Yan Xishan's former Overseer's Mansion, and now the Overseer's Mansion was renamed the Northern Frontier Governor's Office, so he directly ordered Jia Jingde and Xue Dubi to be sent to the West Flower Hall of the Governor's Office.

At the same time, he ordered Jia Jiying, Zhao Pilian, Qiu Zengyi, Kong Wei, as well as Feng Sizhi, former director of the Shanxi Department of Education, Qiu Yangjun, director of the Department of Civil Affairs, Wen Shouquan, director of the Department of Construction, and people from all walks of life in Shanxi who could be mobilized, as well as Li Wentian, He Qigong, Zhao Fengwu, Pang Bingxun, and others, to take turns to persuade Jia Jingde and Xue Dubi.

It didn't take too much trouble to persuade Xue Dubi, and soon Xue Dubi agreed to stay.

There are two main reasons why Xue Dubi agreed to stay so happily: one is that since the beginning of the Republic of China, it has often happened that soldiers with armed forces have changed their courts, and people have long been accustomed to it, not to mention that Song Zhewu, a national hero, has always been seen by the outside world as a central center, and it is normal to strike a counterattack.

Another reason is that Xue Dubi has always been engaged in civilian work in the Northwest Army, and has served as the deputy minister of justice of the Beiyang Political Axe and the secretary general of the State Council, as well as the governor of Gansu Province, and has no influence in the Northwest Army. Now, the Northwest Army in Jinnan is all soldiers, and there is no civilian work to do, so don't say that there will be nothing to do when he goes there, and even he can't guarantee whether anyone will take him in.

And it was more troublesome to persuade Jia Jingde, Jia Jiying, Zhao Pilian and other cadres repeatedly said for a few days, Jia Jingde insisted on returning to his hometown of Qinshui in southern Jinnan to live in seclusion.

In the end, it was Song Zhewu who went out and personally persuaded Jia Jingde to return to obedience.

At the beginning, Jia Jingde still looked cold, Song Zhewu knew that this was because he suddenly counterattacked, which led to Yan Xishan's direct defeat, and Jia Jingde was resentful of himself.

Song Zhewu did not care about this, but only talked about the current situation of the Fourth Route Army, as well as his development plan and construction plan for Suiyuan, Inner and Outer Mongolia, especially Taiyuan and the northwest of Shanxi Province under his control, as well as the progress of a series of preparations he made for this.

Song Zhewu believes that Jia Jingde is very talented, which has been proven in the history of his previous life.

After Yan Xishan returned to Shanxi, Jia Jingde participated in a series of policies and plans to revitalize Shanxi, and Jia Jingde was also Yan Xishan's main staff and assistant, and many things were suggested by him, and even he did it single-handedly.

Talented people must be ambitious, and Jia Jingde is especially true. Jia Jingde, who is in the prime of life, wants to quit politics, and I believe that he must be very unwilling.

However, because of Yan Xishan's knot, ordinary things will not move him, but the temptation to build Shanxi, develop Shanxi, and realize Song Zhewu's grand plan and beautiful vision is something that Jia Jingde will never refuse.

Sure enough, with Song Zhewu's introduction, Jia Jingde's attitude is also constantly changing, from the initial indifference to gradually focusing on listening, and then to the expression gradually excited, especially when Song Zhewu talked about his intention to build a railway from Taiyuan to Kulun, Jia Jingde couldn't sit still anymore, and said excitedly: "It has always been the wish of Baigong to build a railway across the north and south in Shanxi, and a lot of preparations have been made for this, and even the work of geological survey and site selection of road sections has been completed, if it is not for the ......Central Plains War."

Referring to the Central Plains War, Jia Jingde couldn't help but stop talking, sighed and continued: "If there is no war, those military expenditures can solve the problem of insufficient funds, and this railway may have partially started." Commander Song's construction of this railway was not only for the benefit of the people of Shanxi, but also to closely link Outer Mongolia with the hinterland, so that the worry of separation of Outer Mongolia could be completely avoided, which was indeed a feat for the benefit of the people and the protection of the country. I, Jia Yuru, am not talented, and I am willing to do my part for Commander Song to build this railway, if Commander Song believes me, leave the matter of building the railway to me. ”

Jia Jingde's words made Song Zhewu overjoyed, which clearly meant that Jia Jingde had agreed to join his camp.

Song Zhewu said with a smile: "Mr. Yuru, the construction of the railway is a very huge project, if you want to complete it as soon as possible, you must have a person with outstanding ability and talent to do it, and this person is naturally you." However, just asking Mr. Yuru to build this railway is a great talent for you, and I have more things for Mr. Yuru to do......"

Although Song Zhewu had many happy events during this time, there was one thing that bothered him, that is, Chiang Kai-shek appointed Bai Yunti as the chairman of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Province and Li Peiji as the chairman of Suiyuan Province without consulting him, especially when he also inserted a "nail" in his territory and appointed Fu Zuoyi, the general of the Jin Suijun Army, as the commander of the Suiyuan garrison.

Whether it is Bai Yunti, Li Peiji, or even Fu Zuoyi, these people will not only not absolutely obey him Song Zhewu, but will even hinder him everywhere.

Although Bai Yunti has been expelled from the Inner People's Party, he is still a national separatist with a strong tendency to read, and it is absolutely inappropriate for such a person to serve as the chairman of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Province.

In addition, although Chiang Kai-shek handed over the civil affairs of Suiyuan to him under the jurisdiction of Song Zhewu, he appointed Shang Zhen's old subordinate Li Peiji as the provincial chairman, and even sent Fu Zuoyi to be the commander of the Suiyuan garrison, which was clearly to limit the development of Song Zhewu's power in Inner Mongolia and Suiyuan.

Fu Zuoyi, the garrison commander, is easy to say, he, the garrison commander, cannot interfere in civil affairs, and Fu Zuoyi is at least nominally under the jurisdiction of the Northern Frontier Office, and is his subordinate Song Zhewu. Now that there is an armistice, the north is already in a period of peace, Fu Zuoyi definitely does not have the courage to meet him with Song Zhe's martial arts soldiers, he does that, don't say that Zhang Xueliang will not agree, even the Nanjing political axe will not sit idly by.

But Bai Yunti and Li Peiji are different, they are the legitimate provincial chairmen officially appointed by the central political axe, and it is absolutely impossible for the civil affairs of Inner Mongolia and Suiyuan to bypass the two of them, if they do not cooperate, it will cause a lot of trouble to Song Zhewu.

However, it is not easy to easily squeeze these two people away, after all, they have just been appointed by the central political axe, and even if these two people are squeezed out, Nanjing will send others again.

Xiao Guodong and Tao Rong couldn't help with these things, Song Zhewu could only find Jia Jingde, Zhao Pilian, Jia Jiying, He Qigong, Xue Dubi and others, and several people discussed it for a day, and they all felt that this matter was very tricky, and I was afraid that there was no good way in a short time, so they had to discuss the abolition of the Military Control Commission.

Now that the war is over, it is not appropriate to continue to exercise military control, and if it is not done well, it will give people the impression of a warlord. At present, the political axe of Taiyuan and the northwestern Shanxi region, as well as the Suiyuan and Inner Mongolia regions, must be established as soon as possible, and the economic construction that will be carried out soon cannot be carried out without the cooperation of the local political axe.

However, when it comes to the matter of the Military Management Commission, it inspires Jia Jingde, who suggests: "The Military Management Commission must be abolished, but in this way, our ability to control the civil affairs of various regions will inevitably be weakened......
