Huaijun Su Yi pro-army, named after Li Hongzhang's title of first-class Su Yi Bo, this Huai army was also brilliant in the early years like other Huai armies, but since the defeat in the First Sino-Japanese War, Su Yi pro-army and other Huai army status declined rapidly, and after the Gengzi years after the imperial court decided to train a new army, Su Yi pro-army also came to the end of its life like other Huai armies.

"Reorganization, it sounds good, it's not that you want to drive out our old Huai army!" In the garrison of the Su Yi pro-army, a group of generals of the Su Yi pro-army were full of grievances.

"If the reorganization can give the old brothers a way to live, forget it, although the new army is a little harder, but in order to feed the family, my old Chen will reluctantly go to the new army, but you have also seen that those people in the new army have made the third association so loud, but aren't all the people who are engaged in the new army to serve in their new army, there is still a place for us there!"

The next forty-year-old military general wearing the old Qing court robe scolded: "That Yuan Shikai is not a good thing, that Zhao Dongyun is not a good thing, some time ago I went to the door to ask to see, he is good, a little baby in his twenties, who has not grown hair, dares to refuse and see!" ”

"I've also heard that Zhao Dongyun is not a simple commodity, I heard that it is very useful to Yuan Shikai!" Another military general in his thirties also looked worried: "We are more than a dozen people, and we don't know how much we can stay!" ”

At this time, a short general, about thirty years old, in the corner of the room, said: "It would be good to leave three or four people!" ”

"What then? Could it be that after eating a lifetime of military rations, it is impossible to return to his hometown to farm in the end? The veteran surnamed Chen said: "I don't believe it, he Zhao Dongyun dares all of us to fight, hmph, how can he recover those big soldiers in the army without us?" ”

This group of large and small generals of the Su Yi pro-army, you have a word, and he said a word, which is also a voice of lamentation!

Yuan Shikai made up his mind to cut out the old army, in order to free up military funds to train the new army, the high-level generals of the old army had already been appeased and sent away by Yuan Shikai by various means, and now there is still a group of middle and lower-level generals left, even if they are not satisfied, they can't resist Yuan Shikai's determination to cut out the old army.

Of course, if Yuan Shikai allowed them to transfer to the new army, they would definitely raise their hands and feet and say welcome, but the old army was already rotten to the bones, and it was absolutely impossible for Yuan Shikai to integrate a large number of old troops into the new army.

So this name is about reorganization, but in fact, it is from the elimination of the new training!

If nothing else, some of the dozen or so generals of the Su Yi pro-army in front of them will be transferred to local posts, such as auxiliary armed forces such as local patrol battalions and county teams, and the other part will be directly dismissed, and only a very small number of one or two people will be lucky to be transferred to the new army.

Historically, after the new army was cut and trained by the direct subordinates, all the officers above the battalion management band in the new army formed in several towns were from the Beiyang lineage, while only a handful of officers from the Huai Army and the old army of the training army were reorganized.

There is no way to discuss and discuss, and in the end it becomes a whining, but some people say: "No matter what, we still have to fight for it, doesn't he Zhao Dongyun want to reorganize us?" We can't all be dismissed as soon as we come, otherwise there will be a disturbance in the army, and Zhao Dongyun will not be able to eat and walk around.

When the time comes, you will not be able to get the opportunity to enter the new army if you are holding many soldiers hostage! ”

After all, the prospects of these generals are not good, but those big-headed soldiers will not end well, these soldiers of the old army in the eyes of the officers of the Beiyang New Army, either smokers or old and weak, do not meet the recruitment requirements of the Beiyang New Army at all, so in the process of reorganization, these soldiers of the old army will lose their jobs like their superiors.

Just when everyone was discussing how to coerce the soldiers into making trouble with their sideburns in order to blackmail Zhao Dongyun to gain the opportunity to enter the new army, the short military general who spoke earlier quietly retreated.

"Hmph, a bun of unseen dirt buns!" This short military general is about thirty years old, relatively stout, and after looking at the cat's waist in a horse coat, he looked at the empty street, and then gritted his teeth: "Dead friends don't die in poor ways, now everyone is difficult to protect themselves, don't blame me for taking you as a stepping stone!" ”

Not long after, he appeared in front of Zhao Dongping: "Staff Officer Zhao, what I said is true, Chen Dahai and others have agreed to gather the soldiers in the next few days to fight against the reorganization, and also said that if Commander Zhao plans to force it, they will encourage the soldiers to make a mess!" ”

Zhao Dongping was stunned when he heard that Su Yi's pro-army was actually planning an armed confrontation, and even preparations for things like a camp mutiny.

"Is Li Dusi's words serious? Then Chen Dahai and others really want to mutiny? Zhao Dongping hurriedly asked, although he had followed Zhao Dongyun to Guangzong to quell the rebellion, and had been in the Beiyang New Army for nearly a year, but in the end, he was a young man, and he couldn't hold his breath and suddenly looked nervous.

"Then there can be a fake, I don't dare to come to you to make up lies!" Li Dusi said.

That Li Dusi's name is Li Yong, he is a gang leader of Su Yi's pro-army, seeing that the new Zhili is about to be hot, he is not like dying with a group of colleagues, hmph, he wants to coerce the soldiers to make a mutiny, and he doesn't look at who Zhao Dongyun is, that is a ruthless person who slashes thousands of chaotic people in Guangzong, it is estimated that people still wish that Su Yi's pro-army would make a mutiny, and then he will have an excuse to directly suppress the disarmament.

Li Yong thinks that he is a family and a family, his old mother, wife and children, and the old and young family still have to rely on him to support him, if there is no errand, the whole family will have to go hungry, in this case, he thinks that he can't resist, so he simply takes the initiative to lean up, by the way, Chen Dahai and others' Huaihua, when the time comes, maybe Zhao Dongyun will give himself an errand in the new army with a kind heart.

Li Yong wanted to speculate in politics, so he went to Zhao Dongyun's henchmen Zhao Dongping's mansion overnight, and exaggerated the calculations of Chen Dahai and others a lot.

Although Zhao Dongping has gone through a lot of battles, he still couldn't hold his breath after hearing the news, and immediately said: "Follow me!" ”

Then Zhao Dongping took Li Yong directly to Zhao Dongyun's house, and the housekeeper Xu saw that Zhao Dongyun was nervous, and said that when he was looking for Zhao Dongyun in an emergency, he also thought that something big had happened, so he asked a little maid to go upstairs and call someone.

It's just that Zhao Dongyun, who was dressed in civilian clothes, came downstairs: "It's a big night, what's so urgent!" ”

Zhao Dongping immediately stepped forward and said: "There is an accident on the side of Su Yi's pro-army, and someone wants to coerce the soldiers to make a mutiny!" ”

When Zhao Dongyun heard this, his thick eyebrows wrinkled: "What's the matter?" Say it carefully! ”

At that moment, Zhao Dongping said: "This is Li Dusi of Su Yi's pro-army, he said that tonight Chen Dahai and others gathered more than ten generals of Su Yi's pro-army, and conspiracy to coerce the soldiers to make a mutiny, so as to resist the reorganization!" ”

Then he said to Li Yong again: "You tell me again!" ”、

At the moment, Li Yong said the matter again, and when he spoke, most of them were true, such as Chen Dahai and others' dissatisfaction with the reorganization, and Chen Dahai and others trying to coerce the soldiers to make a mutiny, but in his words, the goal of Chen Dahai and others' mutiny was distorted a lot.

The reason why Chen Dahai and others wanted to coerce the soldiers to make a mutiny was not to resist the reorganization, because they themselves knew that they could not resist, they just wanted to use this to enter the new army.

However, Zhao Dongyun didn't care about this, after listening to Li Yong's words, he looked at this short and sturdy Li Yong, and felt that these old military attachés were not so stubborn, and this Li Yong in front of him was very interesting.

Regarding the fact that Li Yong betrayed his colleagues, Zhao Dongyun chose to ignore it. 、

This is the real world, people are selfish, and it is not a big deal for Li Yong to betray his colleagues for his own future, especially since those of his colleagues are also preparing to plot a mutiny against Zhao Dongyun.

"Li Dusi, you have worked hard along the way, this time you have done a good job, I am afraid that your help will be indispensable in the reorganization process of Su Yi's pro-army in the future!" Zhao Dongyun said this, although this was too obvious, but it could be regarded as accepting Li Yong's refuge.

Li Yong was also overjoyed when he heard this, and secretly said that his errand was estimated to be saved and he could enter the new army, if he could be under the command of Zhao Dongyun, who was rumored to be a new upstart in Beiyang, he would definitely have a great future in the future.

At this time, he heard Zhao Dongyun say to Zhao Dongping: "Dongping, you go and call Lin Yongquan and Pei Lianying, and let them take the second machine gun battalion to the Su Yi pro-army camp to standby!" ”

Then he looked at Li Yong and said, "You stay, come with me later!" ”

Wait, he turned around and went upstairs, and after a while, he changed into a military uniform and went downstairs, and when he went out of the door, several guards who heard the news were already leading their horses and waiting.

At the moment, including Li Yong, the six of them all turned over and went straight to the headquarters of the Third Association!

After the new machine gun battalion was abolished, the first battalion of the three machine gun battalions under its jurisdiction was allocated to the left town of the standing army, the second battalion was brought to the third association by Zhao Dongyun, and the third battalion was transferred to the vanguard of the right army of Wuwei, leaving only two teams plus the two newly recruited teams to form the new third machine gun battalion, which belonged to Yuan Shikai.

And dozens of officials, clerks, and guards from the headquarters of the newly built machine gun battalion followed Zhao Dongyun directly to the Third Association.

In this way, in addition to the officers, there is only a machine gun battalion and the personal army of the association headquarters, and in addition to the soldiers who operate machine guns in the machine gun battalion, there are also a considerable number of soldiers who carry rifles, and the soldiers have also received infantry training.

At the beginning, the newly built machine gun battalion had a simulated infantry team used to cooperate with machine gun training, so the second machine gun battalion also had a certain independent combat capability.

So, when Zhao Dongyun first arrived at the headquarters of the association and brought more than 20 personal soldiers, he converged with the second machine gun battalion led by Lin Yongquan and went straight to the Su Yi pro-army camp.

Zhao Dongyun wants to see who dares to mutiny with him!
