Chen Guangyuan, like most of the Beiyang officers, graduated from the Tianjin Military Academy, and is also considered to be Zhao Dongyun's predecessor, after graduation, he entered Yuan Shikai's new army, Gengzi years after the same as other Beiyang officers quickly climbed up, and because of the good relationship with Feng Guozhang, and at the same time Wang Yingkai also has a friendship, and even with Wang Shizhen's side There is no bad relationship, so in the battle of the third association some time ago, he was pushed out by these bigwigs to serve as the fifth standard.

This person is very unhappy with Zhao Dongyun, who is younger than him and has shallower qualifications than him, but he climbs faster than him.

You must know that Zhao Dongyun is many years younger than him, and he has held important positions in the first two years after returning to China, and he is deeply valued by Yuan Shikai, which makes him feel that it is impossible not to be jealous.

Although he would not do anything stupid, such as directly slandering or opposing Zhao Dongyun, he would not give Zhao Dongyun much politeness between words!

Glancing at Chen Guangyuan, Zhao Dongyun knew that this person was his main competitor in controlling the Third Association, and he was not an opponent who could be kicked away, because although Zhao Dongyun was reused by Yuan Shikai, and Duan Qirui was also supported by him, but this Chen Guangyuan was not a simple character, he belonged to the old lineage of the Beiyang New Army, and he was also young and promising by Yuan Shikai, and he also had the support of the back.

Therefore, it is unlikely that Zhao Dongyun would take Chen Kuilong directly away when he was dealing with him in the second battalion of the Wuwei Right Army.

"Recruiting new recruits is a long-lasting process, and you can't rush for a while, but this Su Yi pro-army can't continue to delay for too long!" Zhao Dongyun didn't give Chen Guangyuan too much face, and directly refuted his words.

Then he looked at Chen Guangyuan again: "We must do our best to reorganize the Su Yi pro-army, in case there will be changes over time, and we can do our best to free up the funds of the Su Yi pro-army."

Although this Su Yi pro-army is not of great use, and most of the sergeants are old and weak, it is still possible for ten people to select two or three suitable soldiers, and these selected young men can barely set up a battalion after a little training!

Well, these selected light equipment will be given priority to supplement to the fifth bid! ”

As soon as Zhao Dongyun's words fell, Chen Guangyuan's face on the side changed, but Zhao Dongyun's next sentence made him frown even more.

"The light equipment that came from the reorganization of the Su Yi pro-army will be selected and supplemented into the fifth standard, so the next reorganization of the Su Yi pro-army will also be handed over to Chen Tong."

Chen Guangyuan's brows furrowed when he heard this, and everyone who saw it knew that he was in a very bad mood now.

But when the military order was on top, he also had to stand up straight and said with a full sense of anger: "If the department listens to the order, it will definitely reorganize the Su Yi pro-army!" ”

Everyone can see that this is Zhao Dongyun deliberately embarrassing him, but no one has anything to say!

The reorganization of Su Yi's pro-army has one advantage, that is, it can free up military funds to support the formation and training of the Third Association, and this benefit is for the entire Third Association, but the rest is all about offending people.

Almost most of the military attachés and soldiers in the Su Yi pro-army will be eliminated, which means that the person in charge of this affairs will get most of the Su Yi pro-army.

At the same time, even if Su Yi's pro-army is reorganized, those selected young men may meet the physical conditions, but these soldiers who have been mixed in the old army for many years are definitely not good soldiers, and they can hide as far as the troops of the Beiyang New Army can go for these soldiers.

Now Zhao Dongyun has opened his mouth to arrange these reorganized soldiers into the fifth standard, which is completely digging a pit for Chen Guangyuan.

Whether it is to let Chen Guangyuan reorganize Su Yi's pro-army or to arrange the reorganized soldiers to the fifth standard, this is a problem that Zhao Dongyun gave Chen Guangyuan.

There will definitely be many problems in the reorganization of Su Yi's pro-army, if he Chen Guangyuan can do it, it will be the best, if he can't do it, he will not be able to handle things effectively, and then don't blame Zhao Dongyun for giving Yuan Shikai a small report. However, the interesting thing is that if he Chen Guangyuan does it well, he Chen Guangyuan will certainly be able to share part of the credit, but who will take most of the credit? Zhao Dongyun!

The same is true for accepting the soldiers of the old army, if you want to train these old soldiers who are rotten to the root to become qualified soldiers of the new army, the energy required is not ordinarily small, and whether you can train them is one thing. If he can't practice, Zhao Dongyun will naturally have an excuse to beat him for a small report. But if the practice is successful, although Chen Guangyuan also has credit, the lion's share of the credit is still in Zhao Dongyun, and when the time comes, others will say how strong Zhao Dongyun's training ability is, and not many people will care how much effort Chen Guangyuan has made in this matter.

And this is the advantage of being a boss, because no matter what, Zhao Dongyun can get benefits!

What's even more interesting is that he knew that Zhao Dongyun was cheating on him, and Chen Guangyuan had to endure it, and looking at Chen Guangyuan's blackened face, Zhao Dongyun felt a refreshing feeling of being a villain boss!

Bullying people, especially enemies who have no power to fight back, is actually a very cool thing!

After kicking the troublesome matter of Su Yi's pro-army to Chen Guangyuan, Zhao Dongyun also focused on other directions, after all, in the process of organizing and training the Third Association, the reorganization of Su Yi's pro-army was just a trivial matter, and digging a pit for Chen Guangyuan was just a convenient thing, and the general direction still had to be trained out of the Third Association.

There is also the practice of the third association so that Zhao Dongyun can continue to be reused by Yuan Shikai, and only then can he continue to climb up in the Beiyang system and climb to a higher position.

According to the establishment of the Beiyang Standing Army, an association has two infantry battalions, each infantry battalion has three infantry battalions, and each infantry battalion has four teams, each team has three platoons, each platoon has three sheds, and each shed has 14 soldiers and one man.

In today's Beiyang New Army, in addition to soldiers, there are also people hired by copywriters and Qing Shu, as well as long-term husbands hired to serve as miscellaneous servants and logistics. And if all the above personnel are combined, there are 4,446 people in a standard Beiyang Standing Army Infantry Association.

Of course, the current Third Association is still in the early stage of training, and it is also a time of peace, so there is no need to incorporate a large number of long husbands, so after subtracting 660 long husbands, the remaining normal number is 37,816 people.

It is impossible to recruit all the nearly 4,000 people in a short period of time, and we can only recruit while training, and recruit a group of people for training.

Based on the independent recruitment and training system of each army in Beiyang, Zhao Dongyun could not count on Yuan Shikai to give him thousands of recruits, and he had to send people to various places in Zhili to recruit recruits.

And recruiting new recruits, Zhao Dongyun has also done it twice, although this time the scale is larger, but it is not a big problem for him, and he directly assigns many people to recruit troops in various places in Zhili in the meeting.

However, what is different this time is that the people he assigned to recruit soldiers are all his confidants, and they are mainly the sixth standard, such as Pei Lianying, Gu Lanyu, etc.

There is also knowledge here, because now after the recruitment of Beiyang recruits, it is not directly unified in the recruit camp to complete the training, and then assigned to the army, but the main generals of each battalion personally recruit recruits, and then personally train, and directly command, according to these traditions in the past, even Zhao Dongyun has no way to interfere in the recruitment and training of the subordinate infantry battalions.

However, in order to control the entire Third Association in the future, and also to better train new soldiers, he did not plan to follow this old method, but planned to concentrate on recruiting troops, and then assign them to various infantry battalions after training by his subordinates for a month or two.

In other words, he is preparing to implement unified recruitment and unified training within the Third Association, so that in addition to being able to control the independence and autonomy of the subordinate battalion officers and commanders, in fact, for the current Zhao Dongyun, what is more important is that he can control the formation time of the various infantry battalions under him.

The recruits required by the Third Association could not be recruited in one day, and the required funds were not given by Yuan Shikai at one time, and the follow-up ration of new ordnance was also scored several times. In this way, it means that the Third Association will not be built in a day, but will have a slow process of becoming an army.

In this process, the earlier the infantry battalion becomes the army, the better the combat effectiveness, and the pipe band leading the battalion will naturally be able to accumulate more seniority and lay a good foundation for subsequent promotion.

Therefore, Zhao Dongyun did not hesitate to favor his several descendants, first, when the first batch of recruits was to give the sixth target, especially Gu Lanyu's sixth standard first battalion and Lin Pingxiong's sixth standard second battalion, and the follow-up will be given to other factions.

In addition, Chen Guangyuan will also be dragged for a period of time by the reorganization and training of the soldiers of the old army of Su Yi's pro-army, so that in the future, maybe the infantry battalions led by the two descendants of Zhao Dongyun's officers will be completed, and Chen Guangyuan's fifth standard is estimated to be still entangled with those soldiers of Su Yi's pro-army!

After a meeting was dispersed, Chen Guangyuan, who was not very good-looking, walked out, now he is really in a bad mood, if the mess of accepting Su Yi's pro-army makes him nauseous, but gritting his teeth is nothing, but at the meeting just now, Zhao Dongyun said that the recruits will be recruited by the association headquarters, and after the unified training of the new battalions of the association headquarters, he just couldn't sit still.

Once Zhao Dongyun is allowed to control all the recruits in his hands, then his fifth standard army time will not be far behind the sixth standard!

But in the face of Zhao Dongyun's decision, as a subordinate, it is naturally impossible for him to openly oppose anything, and he can only talk to Feng Guozhang, Wang Yingkai and others first, and see what these people mean by the people behind him.

You must know that he Chen Guangyuan was sent to the Third Association to fight with Zhao Dongyun in the ring, that is the meaning of these people in the back, if Chen Guangyuan can choose by himself, then he is more willing to choose to cooperate with Zhao Dongyun.

It's just that there are no ifs in this world!

When he saw Wang Yingkai, Wang Yingkai couldn't help frowning when he heard him say this: "This Zhao Dongyun is a little scheming, unified recruitment and training?" It doesn't matter, anyway, this third association has to be practiced after all, and if he can't practice, he will be more urgent than us. Your fifth standard or so is just a few months late to become an army, it's nothing! ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly said again: "Isn't Liu Fufu, the first battalion leader of your fifth standard, from Duan Qirui's side, when the time comes, you will stuff the reorganization of these Su Yi pro-army to the first battalion, he Zhao Dongyun can give you a problem, you will give Liu Fu a problem, and turn around to give Zhao Dongyun a headache!" ”

Hearing Wang Yingkai say this, Chen Guangyuan suddenly realized!

Yes, he Zhao Dongyun wants to pit himself, and he can't resist, but he also has people from Duan Qirui's faction under him, and Liu Fu of the first battalion of the fifth standard is one of them, so he can just transfer the problem to Liu Fufu directly!

Liu Fufu is also a member of Duan Qirui's faction, Zhao Dongyun can't see death without help, and in this way, it is equivalent to kicking the ball of Su Yi's pro-army back to Zhao Dongyun's side.

Although he lost the upper hand in the first round of the battle of the third association, he was not without the power to fight back, but I don't know how Zhao Dongyun would choose, whether to watch Liu Fu and I be unlucky together, or will he choose to pull Liu Fu so that I can also jump out of the deep pit of Su Yi's pro-army?

Thinking of Zhao Dongyun's sad face, Chen Guangyuan couldn't help but laugh out loud!
