"Now our top priority is to continue to straighten out the finances, and then do a good job in expanding the army, and strive to complete the reconstruction of the Seventh Division as soon as possible, and then the first mixed brigade will also be fully established as soon as possible, and when these two units are fully established, I plan to train two more divisions, and I have already set the numbers, that is, the 11th Division and the 12th Division."

Wang Yingkai was anxious to negotiate with Zhao Dongyun, in addition to taking time to deal with the situation in the south, he also needed time to expand the army, some time ago he and Duan Qirui and Wang Shizhen and others teamed up to rob the Beijing Division, and took at least 10 million taels of floating wealth under his hands, this rich army is not a good warlord.

As for Zhang Huaizhi and Wang Ruxian, don't look at them now, they are obedient to Wang Yingkai's words and plans, but they are usually strong and strong, and when it comes to core interests, Wang Yingkai has no intention of counting on them.

"Look at the three divisions and three brigades under him, all of them were trained by him, so that such troops can be used and dare to use them! If Zhao Ziyang didn't have these three divisions and three brigades, why wouldn't we be able to keep Shanxi in this Tianjin peace talks! ”

Wang Yingkai was bored when he thought of Shanxi, he couldn't stop Zhao Dongyun's outstretched hand, but he was not idle, although he Zhao Dongyun could pay the price to win over Wu Fengling, but he Wang Yingkai could also win over Wu Fengling.

"In the past two days, Lao Wu is going to pass by Jingshi, when the time comes, you will arrange the arrangement, I will have a good talk with him!"

Wang Yingkai still doesn't believe that he can't win over Wu Fengling, even if he can't pull it over completely, he must let Wu Fengling not completely throw himself into Zhao Dongyun, otherwise his Wang Yingkai's strategic situation will be too bad, facing the front and rear attacks of Shanxi and Fengtian, once the incident happens, he will have to fight on two fronts, and it will be difficult to die at that time.

So although he was very dissatisfied with Wu Fengling's defection to Zhao Dongyun, he also had to press the dissatisfaction in his heart and take out a smiling face to win over Wu Fengling.

If we talk about the Tianjin talks, who has benefited the most? That must be Wu Fengling.

Wang Yingkai and Zhao Dongyun's words basically avoided war and maintained the status quo, although Duan Qirui and Wang Shizhen had the names of Liangjiang Patrol Envoy and Huguang Patrol Envoy, but it was very difficult to take these two areas, especially when they could only rely on their own strength to fight south.

And Wang Ruxian and Zhang Huaizhi basically kept the old state, and the overall change was not much.

Only Wu Fengling, who was transferred from Rehe, where birds don't, to Shanxi, although this Shanxi still needs him to fight down, but the strength of Shanxi's new army is weak, and it is not difficult to take it down, unlike Duan Qirui and Wang Shizhen who face many difficulties in going south.

Therefore, the biggest gain from the Tianjin peace talks is not Zhao Dongyun or Wang Yingkai, but Wu Fengling, who has always been marginalized.

Let's not talk about the Jingshi and the south for the time being, let's talk about Zhao Dongyun, his special train departed from Tangshan and stopped again after arriving at Shanhaiguan.

Shanhaiguan is related to the security inside and outside the customs, and the retreat here can be defended, and the advance can be used as a bridgehead for entering the customs, so Zhao Dongyun is still more concerned about the defense of Shanhaiguan.

"I don't need to say more about the importance of this Yuguan, you all know it in your hearts, now there are not many troops here, I think so, the third division will be deployed here first, the first cavalry brigade will also stay here, and the tenth division and the second cavalry brigade will follow me back to Fengtian." Zhao Dongyun continued: "Old Meng, you are here to be the commander of the defense of Yuguan, responsible for the defense of Yuguan and the west of Yuguan!" ”

Meng Enyuan immediately stood up when he heard this: "The ministry has an order!" ”

Under this calm face, Meng Enyuan couldn't help but show joy, this 'Yuguan Defense Commander' is not the commander of a division and a brigade in the popular sense, but a commander position that has risen to the level of a theater of operations, strictly speaking, there is not much difference from Duan Qirui's commander of the First Army and Wang Shizhen's commander of the Second Army.

In the future, the troops under Meng Enyuan's command included the Third Division, the First Cavalry Brigade, the Fourth Mixed Brigade, and the Seventh Mixed Brigade, and even a patrol regiment in Shanhaiguan was under his command during the war. In the Soviet Union, it was a position equivalent to that of the 'Jinzhou Defense Commander'.

The First Cavalry Brigade under its jurisdiction is not the original First Cavalry Brigade, and the Fengtian First Cavalry Association under Zhao Dongyun before, although it has the name of the Cavalry Association, it actually has as many as 5,000 cavalry troops, which is basically a cavalry division.

After the reform of the new military system this time, Zhao Dongyun did not want to create a cavalry division, because then the cavalry establishment would be too large and would not be conducive to combat. This problem has been exposed in the previous entry operation, the first cavalry association in Fengtian due to the large number of cavalry, and the cavalry troops in addition to the early defense of Tianjin, in the middle and late stages have been wandering in the north and rear, responsible for encirclement, interception and control of the rear transport line tasks, the actual combat is mostly a cavalry battalion (regiment) as the core.

In fact, in the past month or so, Meng Enyuan's cavalry troops had never gathered, but were widely dispersed in many directions east of the Beijing Division.

In the face of the situation that the establishment was too large, and at the same time, considering that in the future, it would not only be necessary for cavalry troops to control and control the Guannei area, but also to deploy defenses in the three northeastern provinces, especially Heilongjiang and Jilin, which were more dependent on the mobility of cavalry, so it was impossible for Zhao Dongyun to deploy all the cavalry troops in the Shanhaiguan area, but to bring back some of them.

Taking these problems into consideration, Zhao Dongyun took advantage of the reform of the new military system to directly change many cavalry battalions under his jurisdiction into cavalry regiments, abolishing the cavalry battalion as a level, and truly realizing the modern cavalry establishment of the Dalian small regiment system in terms of name.

In this case, the cavalry battalions of the three divisions under his command were directly renamed cavalry regiments, and the cavalry units of mixed brigades were also renamed cavalry companies according to the new military system.

The First Cavalry Brigade of the pure cavalry unit left only three cavalry regiments, and at the same time, due to Meng Enyuan's promotion to the commander of the defense of Yuguan, the brigade commander of the cavalry brigade was succeeded by Hua Zhenji.

The three cavalry regiments that were transferred were directly organized into the Second Cavalry Brigade and returned to the Northeast with Zhao Dongyun, which will become the main mobile cavalry force in the three northeastern provinces, and the first brigade commander was Lu Chengtong, who was born in the green forest and was nicknamed Lu Shuanggun.

"Now we still don't have any advantage in the strength of the Yuguan defense area, so in the future, Lao Meng, your main work is still to defend, once the situation changes, as long as you hold Tangshan and Chengde, it will be a great achievement!" Zhao Dongyun still attaches great importance to the defense of Guannei, especially the defense of Tangshan.

There is a Fuyuan machine factory in this Tangshan, which supplies the ordnance and ammunition of the entire Fengtian army, but it also supplies the ammunition of Duan Qirui, Wang Shizhen and other troops, no matter how much attention is paid to it.

Meng Enyuan said: "Commander, we naturally know the importance of Tangshan, but Tangshan is too close to Tianjin and Beijing, and it is easy to be affected by the war. ”

Zhao Dongyun smiled when he heard this, he didn't expect Meng Enyuan to have this idea, and immediately said: "The Fu Factory is located in Tangshan, naturally there are many inconveniences, but when it comes to relocation, the problem is just as big, you haven't seen the big Fu Factory, there are thousands of machines in the factory, and the number of workers has reached 20,000, so it is not easy to move!" ”

Zhao Dongyun has thought about moving the Fuyuan machine factory to Mukden, but so far he has not been able to make up his mind, the reason is very simple, that is, once it is relocated, it is basically not much different from rebuilding a Fuyuan machine factory, which wants to relocate the Fuyuan machine factory to Fengtian, and then resume production, the money cost here is still a small matter, the key is time!

What does it mean by the most conservative estimates that it will take at least a year and a half or even two years to restore normal production capacity from the start of the relocation to the current level? It means that Zhao Dongyun will not be able to obtain a large amount of ordnance from the Fuyuanji Factory for a year and a half, and for the Soviet system, which is in the period of rapid military expansion, it is an unacceptable heavy loss.

Therefore, he knew that it was more dangerous for the Fuyuan Machine Factory to be in Tangshan, but Zhao Dongyun was not willing to move lightly in the short term!

"However, I have already talked to the board of directors of Fuchang, and this relocation is naturally not possible, but they will transfer the follow-up investment to Fengtian, and then gradually transfer some production equipment and technical personnel to Fengtian to prepare for a new factory, and try not to affect the existing production of Fuchang to prepare for a new factory!"

As mentioned above, this Fuyuanji factory is not his Zhao Dongyun's private assets, although he has a stake in it, but there is no controlling interest, the management of the Fuyuanji factory is in the hands of the board of directors of the Fuyuanji factory, which is according to the normal situation, they are absolutely unwilling to relocate, but Zhao Dongyun has an army in his hands, so although the board of directors of the Fuyuanji factory is unwilling, but also forced to accept Zhao Dongyun's proposal.

That is to transfer follow-up funds and technology and equipment to set up a new branch factory in Mukden, while the old plant in Tangshan will maintain the existing production while gradually reducing the scale.

The new factory will be jointly invested by Fuyuan Machinery Factory, Fuyuan Company and Fengtian Official, but the official investment is only a statement, just take out a mere 300,000 taels of silver, and the bulk has to be Fuyuan Machinery and Fuyuan Company.

It's just that now this new factory still only exists in the zài Wen Jiàn, and even the official name is not yet there, and it is estimated that it will take about two years to wait for this new branch to be established, so at present, the Fuyuan Machine Qì factory in Tangshan still has irreplaceable importance to Zhao Dongyun.

After instructing Meng Enyuan to focus on protecting Tangshan, Zhao Dongyun led the remaining main force to continue to return east, and on December 20, Zhao Dongyun arrived in Jinzhou, and after inspecting the defense of Jinzhou, his special train did not stay long, but then went to Shenyang with a large number of military and political dignitaries.

The name of Shenyang has also just been changed, because the previous Fengtian has two meanings, one refers to Fengtian Province, and the other refers to Fengtianfu, and also refers to the provincial capital Shengjing.

Because Shengjing is rich in a strong atmosphere of the former Qing Dynasty, and at the same time, in order not to make the title of Fengtian clearer, Zhao Dongyun and others, who pride themselves on being a republic, naturally changed it directly, and Fengtian is specially called Fengtian Province. The original Fengtianfu was also changed to Shenyang City in accordance with the new name of the Republic.

This time, Zhao Dongyun almost took a full set of military, political, and administrative teams to Shenyang, because he wanted to establish the residence of the 'Patrol Envoy Government of the Three Eastern Provinces' in Shenyang.

And this is also the first time that Zhao Dongyun has come to Shenyang for many years of controlling Fengtian!
