Chapter 413: Tsarist Russian Heritage
Wang Zhenyu has been annoyed recently, since the assassination incident, the national government has actually been taken over by the Wang family. But a share of power is a share of responsibility, and in the face of a sudden lot of troubles, Wang Zhenyu is really annoyed. And what's more troublesome is that it comes from the family, none of the four sons and a daughter are worry-free. The eldest of these children is the adopted son Shen Quan, who is already twelve years old, don't underestimate this child, the meaning of his existence is the loyalty of the Phoenix Department to himself. Today's ranking of the six major families of the Phoenix family in Xiangxi has changed from the original Tian family, Xiong family, Shen family, Long family, He family, and Chen family to Shen family, Xiong family, Tian family, He family, Chen family, and Long family. The reason for the change is this twelve-year-old adopted son, because of this bond, although the Shen family is the least powerful, it ranks first among the six families, and even the Xiong family, which has produced the Prime Minister Xiong Xiling, can only be relegated to the second.
On the other hand, for Wang Zhenyu, the education and development of this child should also be carefully considered. After asking Shen Quan's personal opinion several times, Wang Zhenyu finally decided to respect the child's preferences and send him as a commission trainee to the non-commissioned officer department preparatory school of the Marine War College of Nanjing Naval University as a commission trainee.
Compared with Shen Quan's adopted son, Wang Zhenyu is most upset by his five-year-old son Wang Jingye, who has been spoiled by his mother. It's fine if it's naughty, but this kid isn't naughty at all, but disobedient. In short, you have to give what you want, and if you don't give it to him, you won't eat. Thinking of what happened last night, Wang Zhenyu was angry, this kid actually asked for his own pistol, and if he didn't give it, he left all the documents on his desk on the ground, and Secretary Chen took the entire secretary team to sort out the documents overnight. When he was a child, he would steal gold when he stole needles, so Wang Zhenyu decided to fulfill the responsibility of a father and cleaned up this little demon king in front of everyone, but he was so frightened that everyone who was ineffective in dissuasion hurriedly invited Ye Ziwen. Originally, under Ye Ziwen's persuasion, Wang Zhenyu let go of Wang Jingye, who was red and swollen and tearful from being beaten on his little buttocks, but he didn't think that although Wang Jingye was young, he was bold: "You wait, wait until I grow up and see how I clean you up!" ”
Wang Zhenyu was immediately angry, okay, his son was raised like this. He immediately snatched the frightened pale Wang Jingye from Ye Ziwen's arms, and then announced to the surrounding ** voices: "From now on, this little bastard will be personally disciplined by me, and no one is allowed to take care of it." ”
Well, casually, now this little bastard is sitting on the sofa opposite Wang Zhenyu, the old bastard, rubbing his little buttocks, and from time to time he peeks at the old bastard with an angry face, as for the food on the coffee table, the little bastard didn't move, and Wang Zhenyu didn't bother to care about him.
This is really a mess, Wang Zhenyu feels that he has to throw away some power, otherwise his life will be too bad.
Just thinking about it, Chen Bui pushed the door and came in, sending a confidential document. Wang Zhenyu took it and opened it to see that it was a document on army reform drafted by Wan Yaohuang.
Wang Zhenyu suddenly remembered the son who was still angry with him, and he instructed Chen Bui: "Let this little bastard go to the grass below to play, and arrange a cooking class to make him the Wuhan alkaline water he wants to eat." ”
Wang Jingye cheered, and without waiting for Chen Bui, he got up and ran out, Wang Zhenyu looked at his son's back, shook his head helplessly, and then returned to the document itself, according to the new military establishment designed by Wan Yaohuang with reference to the European military system, the youth army will undergo unprecedented great changes.
First of all, the establishment of the three armed services, according to Wan Yaohuang's plan, the Ministry of the Navy and the Ministry of the Air Force will continue to be retained, and the minister will concurrently serve as the commander of the armed forces. The Navy and Air Force systems use an independent military rank system, with the highest rank being the Generalissimo of the Navy, Army and Air Force, with a recommended number of one to four.
The division will exist as a standing unit, with two standard infantry brigades and four regiments of baggage, special service, heavy artillery, and engineers; in addition, it will also have an independent division headquarters, a division general staff, a division armament department, a division political guidance department, a field hospital, a division communications battalion, and other affiliated units. The total number of division commanders will also be increased from the current full strength of 25,000 to 32,000, and the rank of division commander will also be raised from the rank of major general or lieutenant general to the rank of lieutenant general. The number of standing divisions will be expanded to 30, and the full staffing rate will remain at 50%. In addition, there are six divisions of the Northwest Frontier Army, with a full strength rate of 100%, and three divisions of the Mongolian Border Army, with a full strength rate of 100%. Then, by the end of June of the ninth year of the Republic of China (1920), the size of the army's field troops will reach an astonishing 40 divisions (including the Guards Division) of about 800,000 people, plus the auxiliary security forces, military police units, and railway troops, this number will reach about 1.3 million.
As for the navy, the current plan is mainly aimed at the Marine Corps, and it is envisaged that the first and second marine divisions will be formed before June of the eighth year of the Republic of China, and they will be stationed on Hainan Island, and the marine division will not have a brigade, but will adopt a one-division and four-regiment system, with a total of 50,000 personnel.
Finally, in terms of the air force, the 101st Air Force Division must be formed before December of the seventh year of the Republic of China, and the number of troops is planned to be 30,000.
As a result, the establishment of forty-three regular field divisions appeared......
For the candidate for the division commander, Wang Zhenyu is not a headache, first, he now owns half of the country, and his career is thriving, so his command is naturally full of stars and talents. Second, according to the current armament system, it is impossible for anyone to use the army in their hands to rebel, and what any first-level officer can control is a point rather than a surface. Even if there is really someone who is insane and thinks that he has to rebel, I am afraid that there is no need to wait for the army to be sent to suppress it, and the young army officers below this person will stand up and take practical actions to safeguard the discipline of the army and the authority of the military commission system.
So what really upset Wang Zhenyu was the Nanjing side, Sun Yat-sen's recovery was easy to do, and his uncle Wang Longzhong took the initiative to agree to exchange the chairmanship after Wang Zhenyu satisfied him with his promotion of Gan Xindian to the chief of staff of the Hunan Military Region and the promotion of a group of officers under Xiong Kewu. At the same time, he also issued an amnesty order against Wang Jingwei in accordance with the requirements of the alliance department, canceling the wanted warrant for him by the judicial organs, and it is his own business whether Xiao Wang dares to come back.
However, Wang Zhenyu did not blindly back down, for example, the position of vice chairman of the Military Commission was not returned to Sun Wen, but Wang Longzhong continued to serve concurrently, in short, he would not let the current alliance and the current Kuomintang be contaminated with military power again.
Immediately afterward, Wang Zhenyu also ordered Yang Wangui to execute more than 20 naval officers involved in the case, who were currently detained in the gendarmerie headquarters, and these naval officers had been detained for more than half a year since the incident. Now that they heard that Sun Wen was going to make a comeback, they were all excited and inexplicable, but they didn't know that what was waiting for them was a quick death......
There were a bunch of messy things, and Wang Zhenyu couldn't help but sigh and said: "Secretary Chen, you wrote an article with the title of "On the Practical Significance of the Separation of Military and Political Affairs", and the theme is to emphasize the benefits of limited government power. In addition, I sent a telegram to Nanjing, Sun Wen did not need to make a big deal to reinstate him, and I would not go if he had to do it. In addition, by arranging for Chen Shao and them to come to me, the affairs of the Kuomintang and the Socialist Party should be clarified...... Oh, you wait, and the scheduled visit to Europe has been canceled, so I won't go, please Secretary General Tang Shaoyi come and sit with me in a few days, the Germans estimate that the toss is almost ......"
After Wang Zhenyu finished speaking, he remembered his naughty son, there was no way, it was better to stare at it by himself, he stood up and walked out, muttering as he walked, "This little bastard, Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, you can be more difficult to deal with than Yuan Shikai and Duan Qirui......"
After Tang Shaoyi was received by Wang Zhenyu, he personally sent a long telegram to his son-in-law, Gu Weijun, the diplomatic representative of the Nationalist Government in Europe: "Shaochuan virtuous son-in-law, my father went to Wuhan today to summon the marshal. The boss said that the industry in Europe has been cancelled. However, the interests of the Nationalist Government must be sought, and in addition to the sovereignty issue to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Beijing Government, other issues such as industrial equipment, technical personnel, and military equipment must be implemented as soon as possible. Moreover, the Grand Marshal has sent a clear telegram to General Li Zongren of the European Expeditionary Force Command of the Nationalist Government that from now on, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will fully cooperate in all actions of the Diplomatic Mission. At the same time, the European military inspection team under the command of General Huang Shaohong, director of the Chamberlain of the Chairman of the National People's Committee, has already set out from Shanghai, and its key task is to assist and coordinate the implementation of post-war interests, and to give it a warm reception......"
On January 27, 1918, with the full support of the high-level of the Nationalist Government and the acquiescence of the Beijing government, Xu Shuzheng sent troops to Mongolia on a large scale under the banner of recovering Mongolia (Inner Mongolia during this period was actually divided into Gansu, Suiyuan and Chahar, so there was no Outer Mongolia).
Prior to this expedition, the Living Buddha Zhangjia, who had received a large amount of funding from the Nationalist Government, had already gone north to Mongolia and quickly gained the support of the Mongol kings, including King Yun. As for the reasons for support, it is also very simple, the national government promised not to abolish the hereditary lineage, retain the title, and provide treatment......
As for the living Buddha Jebtsundamba, the historical controller of Outer Mongolia, it is a different matter:
In October 1911, the Xinhai Revolution broke out, and the 8th Jebtsundamba, with the support of Russia, announced on December 28 that he would be appointed as the Emperor of Nikguang "Ezhen Khan", and he would change the Yuan to wear it. In 1915, Jebtsundamba revoked its independence and was canonized as Khutuktu Khan by Yuan Shikai's government, maintaining the status of an autonomous prince. In 1919, Xu Shuzheng, the Beiyang government, took advantage of the civil war in Tsarist Russia after the October Revolution to lead his army to occupy Kulen and cancel the autonomy of Outer Mongolia. In 1921, the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party, with the assistance of the Soviet Red Army, defeated the Chinese army and seized power in Mongolia, and on July 10 Jebtsundamba became the constitutional monarch. In 1924, when the 8th Jebtsundamba Bokdoggen died suddenly in Kulen (in fact, he was secretly executed), the People's Revolutionary Party government (regime) announced that it would no longer search for reincarnated spirit children, and on November 24, the Mongolian People's Republic was established, and the Tibetan Buddhist faith began to be restricted and controlled (the search for reincarnation was prohibited by legislation)
