The hour hand of history points to the eighth day of October in the first year of the Republic of China, October 1, 1912.

In the past half month, there has been a lot of good news:

First of all, the recruitment of new recruits is progressing smoothly, except for the 802 base, which is not yet full, the other two bases are all full.

Secondly, the Xiangxi Anbao Corps has completed the formation work, although they provoked Wang Zhenyu to get angry twice during this period.

Third, the Xiangxi Army Military Academy was officially completed, and a large number of instructors were successfully recruited from Nanjing Army Middle School and Wuhan Army Middle School. On November 1st, Jihua officially opened the first class, and the most surprising thing was the political class. When adding the name of his fifth brother Wang Zhenbang to the roster, Wang Zhenyu unexpectedly saw the names of several cattle people: Zeng Qi, Li Buyi. Others may not know, but Wang Zhenyu, who is somewhat interested in history, knows that these two people were the founders of the famous Youth Party during the Republic of China. I don't know if they will come to Xiangxi to sign up for this military academy, and I don't know if Zeng Qi, a 20-year-old from Sichuan, and Li Buyi, a 26-year-old from Hunan, still know how to form a party without studying abroad.

But it doesn't matter, organizational ability is a talent, and Wang Zhenyu paid attention to it.

Fourth, the completion of the second phase of the Jingzhou Cement Plant project is enough to meet the current cement needs of the construction of Anjiang Model City. The Luyang cement plant project has also been launched, and it is expected to reach an annual output of one million tons in two years, and Wang Zhenyu feels the financial pressure.

Fifth, the line survey work of the Antong railway was completed ahead of schedule with the cooperation of local governments, and the laying of the entire railway was immediately finalized by Belgian engineers. Wang Zhenyu has decided to transfer half of the 40,000 laborers in Anjiang Imitation City to form a railway engineering corps under the general command of Song Xianfu, and to take the county as the point and build the railway in pairs, and strive to connect the more than 200 kilometers of railways within two years, and the construction of Jihua will not start until next month. The main reasons: First, Tian Yingzhao in Beijing has not yet carried out the approval documents, but since it is a railway run by the government and the commercial government reported in the name of Ye Zuwen and the Xiangxi Development Company, plus Xiong Xiling is active in the middle, it is not a big problem; The second is the material, the rails and other materials needed by the railway need to be transported out, especially the rails, but the problem of sleepers is not big, and the timber of the three counties of Jingzhou and the passage is all haode sleeper materials.

Sixth, Liu Guojun brought back good news from Shanghai, bringing in 200 teachers and students from Nanyang College, who will be called the seeds of future industrial development. Wang Zhenyu has approved the submission for the establishment of an industrial jishu school, and Chen Shao has also received a new planning request.

Seventh, in terms of banks, the loans from Belgium are in place, and the three major banks in Xiangxi have decided to jointly issue local currencies: first, to ensure the money supply in Xiangxi, which is currently an influx of materials, but the people do not have so much money, after all, the total amount of silver dollars is limited, let alone in a region; Second, the government is engaged in such large-scale construction, and the degree of financial constraints is quite serious. This Wang Zhenyu basically agreed, the name of the currency is also very special, the revival ticket, and the ratio of the silver dollar is one to ten, jihua was launched on New Year's Day in the second year of the Republic of China, and the first issue was two billion yuan. It seems that Wang Zhenyu's plan is not to squeeze out the 2.2 million people in Xiangxi.

However, in the midst of all the good news, something that didn't go well came, disarmament.

In fact, the disarmament of the Hunan Provincial Governor's Office had been done for a long time, and in September 1912, it finally began to be implemented, and the first sword was slashed at the strongest Fourth Division. Of course, this one is the strongest with moisture:

First, the strongest is the Ninth Brigade of the Tiger that includes Wang Zhenyu, in fact, Wang Longzhong has long since separated his nephew's Ninth Brigade from the system of the Fourth Division. Since April, Wang Zhenyu has not attended the meeting of the Fourth Division once, and he has not even sent a single representative, so that many people do not remember that there is such a brigade in the division, but the Changsha side does.

Second, most of the officers of the Fourth Division have secretly been controlled by the Governor's Office, and in this case, it must be said that the strongest is only the strong outside.

Therefore, Cheng Qianlai announced disarmament, and Wang Longzhong, the commander of the empty division and the envoy of Baoqing Town, naturally understood the righteousness and wholeheartedly agreed to the reduction of troops.

On September 28, the Fourth Division of the Hunan Army, which had made great contributions in the Xinhai Revolution, was called history, and the War Department of the Beijing Government only conferred the rank of lieutenant general on Wang Longzhong.

At the same time, Wang Zhenyu also obtained the rank of lieutenant general, and Wang Zhenyu was also very simple and revoked the number of the Ninth Brigade. However, his attitude towards the clan uncle Wang Longzhong on one issue is different, that is, the town guard embassy resolutely refuses to hand it over.

Cheng Qian can only take a tacit attitude towards this, and he also understands in his heart that you are not a regular army anyway, and I will just find an opportunity to clean you up in the future.

Wang Zhenyu was secretly happy in his heart, Lao Tzu took off this tiger skin to be really free, in the past, at most he listened to the tune and didn't listen to the announcement, but now it's okay, he doesn't have to listen to the tune, and he has completely become the emperor of Xiangxi.

Since there is no official number of the provincial government, it is natural that a new one must be established after it is dilapidated.

The first is the formation of the Xiangxi Town Guard Embassy, which everyone has been looking forward to for many months, and now the list of the eight main members of the Town Guard Embassy has finally been announced on October 1st:

Director of the Administration Department (including the Department of Transportation, the Department of Culture and Education, the Department of Health, the Department of Construction and Planning, the Department of Agriculture and Forestry, and the Office of Industry and Commerce): Zhou ZhiyunDirector of the Law Administration (including the Department of Justice, the Department of Integrity, the Procuratorate, and the Audit Office): Director of the Department of the Interior of Qin Zhen (including the Anti-Smoking Bureau, the Internal Security Corps, the Investigation Department, and the Archives Office): Tian Yingquan, Director of the Finance Department (including the Finance Department, the Taxation Department, and the Inspection Corps, Materials Department): Ye Zuwen Director of the Qianyang Administrative Office: Zhu Zhi Dajishou Director of the Administrative Office: Tian Yingzhao Director of the Jingzhou Administrative Office: Wang Dezhi Chenyuan Director of the Administrative Office: Zhang Jingkun The appointment of the eight directors is exquisite:

Zhou Zhiyun, director of the Administrative Affairs Bureau, was born in Hong business, and he loves public welfare undertakings on weekdays, and is very famous among the people.

Qin Zhen, director of the Justice Administrator's Office, was a native of Taoyuan, Hunan, and was the secretary general of the Hubei Military Government. Qin Zhen was in charge of the Xiangxi Court before, and he personally tried and decided a group of lawmakers who violated the law and committed crimes.

Tian Yingquan, director of the Internal Affairs Bureau, was completely promoted temporarily, in fact, because the anti-smoking bureau shili is very large, the director level can't manage it at all, the internal security corps and the security corps are two brands and a set of people, and the actual subordination of people belongs to Yang Wangui of the General Staff Office. But this appointment is of great significance, and it has a stabilizing effect on the Phoenix system.

In fact, Ye Zuwen is also the president of the Xiangxi Development Company and the director of the Finance Bureau, which is unscientific in the eyes of future generations, but in this era, everything is possible. Wang Zhenyu accidentally became the spokesperson of Nike, and it seems that he has not heard from this company in this era.

The directors of the four public offices are completely in name only, and many of the current town guard offices have not even been decided, and there is a serious shortage of public officials to handle affairs, and they are still in the period of setting up a shelf. Under such circumstances, it is tantamount to a fool's dream to set up seven supervision groups under the name of the Office of Administration: finance, justice, auditing, planning, culture and education, agriculture and forestry, and industry and commerce.

But it doesn't matter, if you look at the list, Zhu Zhida and these people were originally just nominal.

Since civil affairs have actually been handed over to the counties, in fact, the departments have more power to guide, supervise, and approve the work, as well as coordinate some issues between the counties.

Considering this reality, Wang Zhenyu put forward a request for the recruitment of staff in the town guard embassy:

First, literacy of more than 800 is sufficient;

second, not less than 28 years old but not more than 50 years old;

Third, they must get married and start a family.

But for the staff around him, Wang Zhenyu's requirements are high, he must have a secondary school education, and he must be under 25 years old.

The Attendant Office of the Town Guard was formally established, and Colonel Zhao Dongsheng served as the first director of the Attendant Division, which consisted of:

The first chamber of the chamber, also known as the secretary's room, is mainly responsible for the work of writing and other work, and is directed by Major Wang Zhenbang;

The second chamber of the attendants, also known as the guard room, is mainly responsible for reception and security, and is headed by: Major Wang Hu;

The third chamber of the chamber, also known as the adjutant's office, is mainly responsible for confidential and communications work, and is director: Major Zhu Cihan.

The personal guards were officially established, also known as the guard staff officers, with the rank of captain, and unlike ordinary guards, they were mainly responsible for the close protection of the commander. At present, there are only two people, Zhao Chong and Zhao Songyang, which was arranged by Zhao Dongsheng.

According to Jihua, when the town guard embassy was completed, all the attendant offices were on the third floor.

The reform of the army was also introduced, and the document on the formation of the Xiangxi garrison according to the establishment of the four brigades and four regiments was soon issued:

Chief of Staff: Major General Yang Wangui; Chief of Operations Division: Major General Xu Yuanquan; Chief of the Armaments Division: Colonel Ma Sicheng; Chief of Military Intelligence Division: Colonel Ho Jian; Director of the Judge Advocate General's Office and Director of Education of the Military Academy: Major General Wan Yaohuang.

Commander of the 4th Independent Garrison Regiment: Colonel Dai Yue;

Commander of the 1st Engineer Regiment: Colonel Hu Lichun.

Captain of the Security Corps: Major General Hao Bing.

Captain of the Jingzhou Detachment: Colonel Shen Zongsi Captain of the Qianyang Detachment: Colonel Tian Shouhai Chenyuan Detachment Leader: Colonel Liu Mingkai Jishou Detachment Leader: Colonel Deng Kunru Captain of the Railway Corps and Commander-in-Chief of the Railway Project: Major General Song Xianfu.
