"Thank you, Dashuai!" After happily accepting the 30 silver dollars, a patrol battalion soldier smiled at Yan Guanghan.

Yan Guang waved his hand and smiled. "Okay, okay, go down, don't you see the one behind you who wants to kick you down?"

The soldier who was named in the back scratched his head embarrassedly, and the one who had just received the silver dollar in front left with a grin.

Although almost all of the patrol battalions in Chengdu have agreed to join the revolutionary army and are willing to accept reorganization, the most important thing is to let them know who paid them for their salaries in order to consolidate. Therefore, after handing over the government affairs to Song Dinghan, the current Minister of Finance, Yan Guang himself went to the military camp in the city with hundreds of thousands of silver dollars to distribute gifts to the soldiers of the patrol battalion who had been reorganized.

By the way, the Minister of Finance is Song Dinghan, the Minister of Military Affairs is Wang Er, the Minister of Industry is Hong Ming, Tang Wei is the Minister of Public Security, and Wen Jing is the Minister of Justice.

Basically, several important positions are held by Yan Guang's close confidants.

As for the remaining positions that are not very important, because there are not enough manpower, and it is indeed unlikely to occupy all positions, so after releasing Pu Dianjun and others, who were imprisoned by Zhang Renjun earlier, Yan Guang appointed Pu Dianjun as the Minister of Internal Affairs (this Ministry of Internal Affairs means the Ministry of Civil Affairs in the Republic of China) Luo Lun as the deputy minister, and Zhang Lan as the minister of education.

As for the positions of deputy governor and several other ministers, Yan Guang was left to Zhu Qinglan and Qin Zaigeng.

Of course, this also requires them to give face, otherwise Yan Guang doesn't mind letting others do it.

After finishing the last person's salary, Yan Guang turned his somewhat astringent neck. "Next time this kind of thing is going to be done by the accountant, sitting here all day is going to torture me to death."

Yang Shan, who had been sitting next to Yan Guang, and another young man in a gray military uniform smiled. "We'll let the accountant take care of it next time."

"Well, I'll trouble you two here in the future..."

After personally distributing the promised three-month salary, Yan Guang reorganized the original Sichuan patrol battalion and reorganized it into a division and a brigade, with a total of 6 regiments and more than 15,000 people.

Among them, the division is the 2nd Division of the Sichuan Army, which has 4 infantry regiments, plus an artillery battalion, an engineer battalion and a baggage battalion, plus the division headquarters and so on, a total of more than 10,000 people (a regiment (standard) at the end of the Qing Dynasty A little more than 2,000 people, and at that time, there would be an artillery regiment and a cavalry regiment in a town of the new army, but the patrol battalion has always been a secondary armament, and a division can only make up an artillery battalion, and it is also an old-fashioned mountain artillery field artillery, as for the cavalry regiment or something... ）。

The brigade is the 12th Brigade of the Sichuan Army, with two infantry regiments and one brigade headquarters, with a total of more than 4,000 people.

The commander of the 2nd Division is Yang Shan, and the commander of the 12th Brigade is Peng Xiu, that is, the young man beside Yang Shan just now.

In order to allow two people to master the 15,000 people in the shortest possible time, Yan Guang also transferred more than 300 people from the revolutionary army with only more than 900 people left to fill in the 2nd Division and the 12th Brigade as officers.

Of course, the vast majority of them are deputies, and many of them are only officers at the battalion company and platoon level, after all, it is also necessary to consider the feelings of the officers of the original patrol battalion.

However, when they accepted the reorganization and were willing to join the revolutionary army, the officers of the patrol battalion had already come to their senses, and Yan Guang had already paid three months' salary as promised, so the officers and soldiers of the patrol battalion did not have much backlash.

Yan Guang learned the news of the death of Qin Zaigeng and Long Mingjian on November 8, that is, the third day after the recovery of Chengdu.

If there are many things that Yan Guang remembers in history, then Yan Guang doesn't remember this matter very clearly, before the Baolu Movement, Yan Guang didn't even know who Qin Zaigeng and Long Mingjian were, and he could remember Pu Dianjun just because he was driven down not long after he took office.

Originally, Yan Guang planned to send two lobbyists, all the way to the Baolu Army and all the way to Zhu Qinglan, but since Qin Zaigeng and Long Mingjian were dead, Yan Guang could temporarily save the Baolu Army.

As long as Zhu Qinglan can be persuaded to take the New Army of the Seventeenth Town into his own hands, then even if the people in the League and the Elders' Association are not convinced by themselves, the temporary revolutionaries who suddenly appeared to snatch the fruits of their victory, they will not be able to bear what they do.

And although there are 200,000 people in the Baolu army, there is a big difference among them.

It can be said that the least faction wants to establish a revolutionary political axe, and the vast majority of the rest are to overthrow the Manchu political axe, or kill Zhang Renjun, the executioner, and more of them are taking advantage of this opportunity to fight the world...

Now that the Manchu political axe has been overthrown, and Zhang Renjun has also been killed by himself, at least half of the people have no reason to fight, and the remaining half...

100,000 rabble with ** earth cannons, broadswords, spears, do they still need to be afraid?

And Yan Guang also has a somewhat old-fashioned method, although old-fashioned, it can make the vast majority of these 100,000 people inclined to himself.

Of course, there is also a new army in Hubei that needs to be solved by Duan Fang and his two targets...

"Don't worry, the soldiers of the new army under Duanfang will solve it for me when the time comes." When Pu Dianjun expressed his concern to Yan Guang, Yan Guang replied with a smile.

"You mean?" Pu Dianjun realized.

"That's right." Yan Guang nodded. "There are many revolutionary parties in the Hubei New Army, and now that their hometown has become the world of the revolutionary party, do you think those people will not have any ideas?"

"That's true..."Pu Dianjun agreed after thinking about it.

Pu Dianjun didn't know that if Yan Guang hadn't appeared, then the governor of Sichuan would be himself.

Although this governor was bombed down within a few days...

Because they didn't know this, Pu Dianjun and Luo Lun didn't have much resistance to Yan Guang who rescued him and others from prison.

It's just that Pu Dianjun didn't know that Yan Guang didn't look down on him, a scumbag with a combat strength of less than 5...

"By the way, Brother Jincai, there's something I want to ask you..."After appeasing Pu Dianjun, Yan Guang turned his head to Luo Lun, who had accompanied him.

"What's the matter? But the governor said it was okay! Luo Lun hurriedly said.

Yan Guang nodded. "That's right, I plan to send a lobbyist to Zhu Qinglan to persuade him, and after thinking about it carefully, I think Brother Jin Cai is the most suitable, so..."

"Governor, please rest assured, I will definitely persuade Zhu Qinglan." Without waiting for Yan Guang to finish speaking, Luo Lun responded.

Now the situation in China, at least in southern China, is very obvious, so Luo Lun is not afraid of what Zhu Qinglan will do with him.

"Governor, when will I leave?"

"Naturally, the sooner the better." After speaking, Yan Guang told Luo Lun the conditions he listed.

After hearing this, Luo Lun became more confident in his trip, and Pu Dianjun on the side was also much more relieved.
