Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Expansion of the Third Town
arranged Chen Guangyuan, and then came over to his two major descendants, Pei Lianying and Kong Guanbei, both of whom were also old men who followed him during the new machine gun battalion, and both served as the gang commanders, and now it is just right for them to turn around, so this Kong Guanbei served as the ninth standard commander, and Pei Lianying served as the tenth standard.
Then come over is Gu Lanyu, the original 10th standard and the first battalion pipe band, this person is also Zhao Dongyun's descendant, so he naturally has to mention it, and let him serve as the 11th standard commander of the supplementary standard adaptation.
And then there is Liu Fufu, this person has a good training ability, and he is okay with the war, and he has made great contributions in the anti-bandit operation in September, and he can be mentioned as the newly built twelfth standard belt.
As for Lin Yongquan, although Zhao Dongyun was dissatisfied with his ability, he was the number one general under his command, so he naturally couldn't let it go, so he was directly nominated as the sixth co-ordinator with a stroke of the pen, but his qualifications, age and ability are not outstanding, and it is a question whether Yuan Shikai will approve it.
The other sections of the Third Mixed Association, such as the Education Section and the Law Enforcement Section, were all upgraded to divisions, and the section chiefs were promoted to the general offices of each division.
In addition to the two co-ordination and six co-ordinates, the remaining twenty-odd pipe bands Zhao Dongyun decided a part by himself, and then asked his subordinates to recommend a few people to come up, after all, it is impossible to control all the personnel power by himself, it is necessary to delegate a part appropriately, after all, Chen Guangyuan and they will all be the leaders of the association in the future, and it is not good if they can't promote a pipe band.
The next day, Zhao Dongyun sent a telegram recommending the appointment of the heads of the various ministries of the Third Town, and Yuan Shikai approved most of them, but rejected Lin Yongquan's recommendation to serve as the commander of the Sixth Association, and claimed that he would send another member from the Beiyang generals to serve as the commander of the Sixth Association.
For this result, Zhao Dongyun is not surprised, Lin Yongquan's qualifications and abilities are not too good, and now there are a large number of highly qualified and capable officers in the Beiyang Army waiting for their positions, in fact, if it were not recommended by Zhao Dongyun, Pei Lianying and Kong Guanbei would not have been able to become a standard commander, and it was unceremonious to say that even Liu Fufu and several other battalion officers were more qualified than them to be a standard commander.
"Don't be discouraged, this time there may be a chance in the future, I will recommend you a position as a town staff officer when I go back, and then you continue to be in charge of the education department, accumulate a year or two of qualifications first, and then you will not be afraid of what others say!" Facing the depressed Lin Yongquan, Zhao Dongyun also had to comfort him.
But he can't change Yuan Shikai's decision, he can still decide on the leadership and management, but he only has the power to recommend for the position of co-commander, and it is normal for Yuan Shikai not to approve it with Lin Yongquan's qualifications and ability.
Although Lin Yongquan was unwilling in his heart, he could only sigh: "I'm tired of my lord!" ”
Since there is no hope of becoming the co-commander, Lin Yongquan is curious about who can come to the third town to be the leader of the Sixth Association: "I don't know who came to serve as the leader of the Sixth Association?" ”
Zhao Dongyun shook his head: "This matter is not very clear, it is estimated that it will take a few days to know, and now Baoding is very chaotic!" ”
Can this not be chaotic, in the plan to expand the army to the four towns, although Yuan Shikai quickly decided the candidates for the commander of the third and fourth towns, but for the positions of co-unification and unification, Yuan Shikai generally let his subordinates fight.
Due to the special situation of the third town, it was expanded from the third mixed association, and it was far away in Jinzhou, so there was no situation where outsiders came to fight, because they knew that they could not fight.
But the fourth town is different, although the newly established fourth town is under the control of Duan Qirui, but it can't prevent the wolves from fighting, just like Zhao Dongyun's third association at the beginning, although this third association was considered Duan Qirui and Zhao Dongyun's faction at that time, but Wang Yingkai and Feng Guozhang are not the same as they pounced to fight for the position of the command belt and the pipe belt.
Therefore, Baoding has been very lively these days, basically focusing on the competition for many positions in the fourth town, and now the third town has also vacated a position of the sixth co-ordinator, so it has further stimulated the competition of various factions.
As the head of the third town, Zhao Dongyun naturally can't stay out of the matter, since he can't find someone who can serve as the commander of the sixth association in the third town, then find someone who is good with him, his first choice is Xu Bangjie, he is Zhao Dongyun's old colleague in the Wuwei Right Army, and his personal relationship has been good in the past few years, this person is the old Beiyang, full of qualifications. However, there are also shortcomings, that is, this person belongs to a traditional officer, and he is not a new-style officer that Beiyang has cultivated in recent years, so it is more difficult to transfer him as a co-commander.
The second consideration is Cao Kun, that's right, the famous Cao Kun in history, although this person nominally belongs to Wang Yingkai's faction, but Cao Kun and Zhao Dongyun's personal friendship is quite good, Zhao Dongyun in Baoding held many Shaozhuang faction officer gatherings, Cao Kun must be there every time, and will help invite colleagues, and to be honest, Zhao Dongyun feels quite good about him, and thinks this person is refreshing enough. However, this person is not much slower than Zhao Dongyun, and he is now the first co-commander of the Standing Army of the Beijing Banner, and it is very difficult for him to give up his efforts in the Standing Army of the Beijing Banner to come to the third town, and Cao Kun's every move will also affect Yuan Shikai's layout of the Standing Army of the Beijing Banner, so it is very difficult to dig it up.
The third consideration is He Zonglian, like the previous two, this person also maintains a relatively good personal relationship with Zhao Dongyun, this He Zonglian is also capable, and he has not climbed to the position of co-commander like Cao Kun, so it is very feasible to dig this person over to serve as the sixth co-commander.
The above three people have different advantages and disadvantages, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they all have a good personal relationship with Zhao Dongyun, which is very important, and ability or something is secondary.
When Zhao Dongyun recommended the list of these three people, he didn't pay much attention to it, after all, he could only go so far, and the next thing had to be decided by Yuan Shikai.
Yuan Shikai didn't let Zhao Dongyun and Duan Qirui wait for a long time, and it didn't take a few days to quickly determine the candidates for the three co-commanders, not to mention the fourth town, but the candidate for the sixth co-leader of the third town was not any one recommended by Zhao Dongyun, but someone Zhao Dongyun hadn't thought of before, he was Wang Zhanyuan!
Who is Wang Zhanyuan? Wang Yingkai's number one descendant is similar to Zhao Dongyun's status in Duan Qirui's faction before, hearing that this person came to be the leader of the Sixth Association, Zhao Dongyun's face darkened all of a sudden, it seems that there are still many people in Baoding who look at me unpleasantly.
Zhao Dongyun knew with his toes that this Wang Zhanyuan was sent not only with Wang Yingkai's contribution, but also with the acquiescence of Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang and others, otherwise Yuan Shikai would not have excluded the three people recommended by Zhao Dongyun and chose Wang Zhanyuan.
Wang Zhanyuan is Wang Yingkai's person, if Wang Zhanyuan wants to become the sixth co-commander to complete the leap from unification to leadership, then Wang Yingkai will definitely support it.
If it were in the past, Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang and others would definitely raise their hands to oppose it, but the current situation is different from the past, since the day Zhao Dongyun became the third mixed association, Zhao Dongyun is no longer Duan Qirui's subordinate, and the current third town has nothing to do with Duan Qirui, but Zhao Dongyun's power.
No matter what the relationship between Zhao Dongyun and Duan Qirui was before, but now they have become competitors in the same first echelon, even if they barely maintain their previous friendship, Duan Qirui will not deliberately make Zhao Dongyun bad, but Duan Qirui is also happy to see Wang Yingkai send people to the third town to infiltrate.
Feng Guozhang and Wang Shizhen's minds also have the attitude of watching the play, so the three people recommended by Zhao Dongyun failed to succeed, and it was Wang Zhanyuan recommended by Wang Yingkai who won this position.
Faced with this result, Zhao Dongyun was naturally in a better mood!
Chen Guangyuan, who looked down, looked at Zhao Dongyun's face inappropriately, and he already regarded himself as the backbone of Zhao Dongyun's faction and said: "That Wang Zhanyuan has only been the commander of the first standard of the Beijing Banner Standing Army for half a year before, so he dares to come to any of my third town as the commander of the association, and Lord Wang is bold enough!" ”
Lin Yongquan on the side was even more unconvinced, he could not be the commander of the Sixth Association because his qualifications were too shallow, but even if his qualifications were shallow, he had also served as a new machine gun battalion assistant, and since last year, he has served as a staff officer of the Third Association, a staff officer of the Third Mixed Association, and concurrently serves as the head of the Education Section, and later served as a supplementary standard commander, it can be said that he has participated in the formation of the Third Mixed Association from beginning to end.
However, although this Wang Zhanyuan has the name of Wang Yingkai's confidant, his own qualifications are not better than Lin Yongquan, he was only a first town's infantry camp management band, and Cao Kun, who only went to the Beijing Banner Standing Army this year, first served as the first standard commander, and now he has climbed to the top of countless of his own commanders to serve as the sixth co-commander, no wonder Lin Yongquan is not convinced.
However, although Wang Zhanyuan's qualifications are average, he can't stand Wang Yingkai's desperate recommendation of him, plus the acquiescence of Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang and others, so he became the leader of the Sixth Association.
"At this time, no matter what, it has been decided, you don't need to discuss it anymore, now Commander Wang is still in Baoding, but the training work of the Sixth Association cannot be postponed, and the eleventh and twelfth bids will be put up before he comes!" Although Zhao Dongyun was dissatisfied with Wang Zhanyuan's appointment, he had no way to change Yuan Shikai's decision, but he could be Wang Zhanyuan as a puppet co-ordinator.
The third town is the foundation of Zhao Dongyun, he categorically will not hand over the entire Sixth Association to Wang Zhanyuan, anyway, the following command and pipe belt are all his own lineage, Wang Zhanyuan came over If An An stayed and mixed qualifications, it would be okay, if he tried to control the Sixth Association, then don't blame Zhao Dongyun for throwing him aside to play by himself.
Even though there was a discordant factor of Wang Zhanyuan, the progress of the expansion of the Third Mixed Association into the Third Town did not slow down in the slightest, and he had almost just received the order to expand, and even before Yuan Shikai's military spending was allocated, Zhao Dongyun had already started the expansion work.
