In any case, it is unlikely that Yan Guang's identity will be exposed and then waiting for an opportunity to drive him out of Sichuan.

The reason why today's Sichuan military and political axes and Shu military political axes can maintain a delicate balance is entirely because they are both revolutionary armies, otherwise the Sichuan military and political axes holding the new army and the patrol battalion may have been fought long ago.

If he takes the initiative to grant authority at this time, I am afraid that it is something that Yan Guang is not happy about.

"At that time, people only need to issue a promotion fee of 2 or 30 yuan per person, no matter where this Yan Guang is from, I am afraid that the people of the Sichuan New Army and the patrol battalion will scream and kill him." Although the concept is still stuck in the era of opening fees, Zhang Peijue still analyzed.

"Then are we going to sit back and wait here?" Zhang Dasan's face was on fire.

"The Sichuan New Army and the patrol battalion are almost all on the Chengdu side, and even if we make any moves, it is useless." Zhu Zhihong on the side shook his head and said, in fact, he and Zhang Peijue still have an idea, that is, to ask for foreign aid...

However, at this time, the neighboring provinces of Hunan and Hubei were in a war, although Guizhou did not have a war, but its strength was still a little worse, and Yunnan...

Yunnan's Governor Cai Ye is not a member of the League, and he may not have a good impression of the Hui Party as an orthodox soldier, and Yan Guang at this time has just issued a tax exemption policy, and he is winning the hearts of the people in Sichuan, I am afraid that even if he invites the Yunnan army into Sichuan, Cai Ye will not agree...

"It's hard..."

――――――――――

Just when the Shu army was at a loss for what to do, Yan Guang had already begun to order the recruitment of two divisions of soldiers.

Relying on the tax exemption policy promulgated earlier, plus the generous military salary of 10 oceans, although the recruitment conditions this time were very high (requiring at least a certain number of Chinese characters to be recognized), two or three thousand people were still recruited on the same day, which is equivalent to one and a half regiments, and at this rate, the required 20,000 people may be recruited in less than half a month.

"The only problem at the moment is that there are not so many adult men in Chengdu who meet the requirements, but we have already sent people to post recruitment notices in the states and counties under our control, so there will be no big problem at this point." Zhu Qinglan, who was in charge of recruitment, stood up and replied.

"There are also weapons problems, I'm afraid it's more serious than we imagined, the fast guns and old Mauser stored in the arsenal are easy to say, but Lin Dengming and Martini have almost reached the end of their useful life, especially the oldest part of them, because of improper maintenance, it has reached the point where it will be dangerous to continue to use, and we are currently arranging manpower to screen, fortunately, the base of these guns is very large, so it is not a problem to equip two divisions, and the arsenal has begun to produce fast guns, Combined with some of the guns we currently have, it will only take three months to estimate that we will have enough fast guns for the two newly formed divisions. Wang Er, who was in charge of weapons, said and turned the pages of the information in his hand, and then continued. There is also the problem of artillery, the arsenal still has some old mountain artillery and field artillery, if you equip those two divisions, an artillery regiment does not need to think about it, and the artillery battalion does not need to think about it either, but at least one artillery company can still do it, and the arsenal has begun to study mortars, and I believe that the results will be achieved within a month. ”

After listening to Zhu Qinglan and Wang Er's reports, Yan Guang pointed his finger and said. "The personnel, weapons and equipment have been settled, then all that remains is the question of salaries and officers." Of course, there is absolutely no problem with salary, and the last thing Yan Guang lacks now is money, but there are still some problems with officers.

According to the normal establishment, a division needs at least more than 700 officers, but Yan Guang has only prepared 600 officers for the two newly recruited divisions, in other words, there are at least more than 1,000 officers short.

Fortunately, there are two military schools in Sichuan itself, the Military Academy and the Accelerated Academy, although it is not very clear what the quality of these two military schools is, but Yan Guang only needs them to fill the vacancies, and the main position still depends on his own group of officers, so it doesn't hurt even if it is worse.

"Yang Shan, Peng Xiu and Brother Ziqiao, how is the reorganization of the troops?" At present, Yan Guang is indeed a little unpleasant to see the Shu military and political axe, not to say that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, but if Yucheng is better included in its own sphere of influence, then the external military procurement channel will always be stuck.

Moreover, every day that the Shu army and political axe are entrenched in Yucheng, his power will grow for a day, and such an opponent is better than raising it, so it is better to try to get rid of it as soon as possible.

Zhu Qinglan stood up and said. "Governor, the third division, because the structure is very intact, so after the initial reorganization, it can now set off at any time..."

Yang Shan and Peng Xiu also stood up and said. "It will take some time for the Second Division and the Twelfth Brigade to go, but if the opponent is only the original Baolu Army, then it can be reluctantly dispatched."

Unlike the Second Division, the Third Division was originally the Sichuan New Army, and it was also formed when it was included in the Sichuan Military and Political Axe, so the so-called reorganization was just a change of number, and then let the soldiers who had been fighting for two months rest and recuperate. However, the establishment of patrol battalions was originally very chaotic, and there was no clear command between them, so the reorganization work required the integration of patrol battalions that were originally subordinate to various departments.

Not only to sort out the relationship between the upper and lower levels, but also to reformulate the number and preparation, from the beginning of the reorganization to the present so many days, it is just to sort out the relationship between the upper and lower levels and the number.

However, just like Yang Shan and Peng Xiu said, although they have only completed the preliminary reorganization, if the opponent is only the Baolu Army, then even if it is reluctantly dispatched.

After all, although the establishment of the Second Division and the Twelfth Brigade is a little chaotic, the foundation is still there, while the Baolu Army in Yucheng is completely chaotic...

"But Governor, if we take the initiative to attack Yucheng for any reason, will there be some teachers who are unknown?" Pu Dianjun on the side said with some worry. "Anyway, that Shu military political axe is also a member of the revolutionary political axe, and many of the people in power are members of the Alliance..."

"The Alliance? The alliances in Hunan and Hubei are now being beaten by Yuan Shikai left and right, as for the alliances in other provinces? Did they come? Yan Guang sneered, among the provinces controlled by the Alliance, only Hunan and Hubei were adjacent to Sichuan, and now the Hubei Alliance was being defeated by Yuan Shikai's Beiyang Army, and he didn't believe that Huang Xing and them were in the mood to find trouble for themselves.

"Of course, it is impossible for us to come up and use force, but there is no other way to say that there are no two masters, and it is impossible for there to be two military and political axes in a province, this reason is that it is right to put it wherever it is, if the people of the Baolu Army do not know each other, they can't blame me for using force!"
