Looking at Jin Zhao's increasingly stern gaze, Shen Guanghan couldn't help but feel a sudden burst in his heart, Shen Guanghan, who had been fighting horses for half his life, had already expected that both Jin Zhao and Weng Zhaoyuan would never allow their people to return to the army when they were in the Quanzhou Mutiny. Shen Guanghan raised his head, glanced at the generals attending the meeting helplessly, and said with a long sigh, "Since the commander-in-chief has an order, he should obey the military order." ”

Zhang Yan wanted to say something more, but was forced down by Tan Qixiu, Ou Shounian was also disheartened at this time, looked at his former subordinate meaningfully, and said with a sigh, "The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, we are already old, it's time to leave!" Come, I'll give the commander-in-chief a drink! I wish the commander-in-chief can lead our 19th Route Army, no, now it should be said that it is the 7th Route Army, and it can create more brilliance! After speaking, he didn't care about Jin Zhao, and drank the wine in the cup.

The atmosphere at the banquet became unusually depressed for a while, and soon after, Shen Guanghan, Ou Shounian and others got up and left on the grounds that they were not strong enough to drink. At the same time, Shen Guanghan, Ou Shounian and others also left a group of cronies and generals, a total of more than 20 people. As soon as these men walked out of the banquet hall, they were invited by the military police to the cars that had been prepared, and the cars were set off and headed straight for the port of Fuzhou, where a steamer bound for Europe had been preparing for a long time.

After Shen Guanghan and the others left, Jin Zhao stood up and said to everyone, "Since the people who should go have left, I now announce the reorganization plan of the army, and from now on, our army will be officially reorganized into the Seventh Route Army, with me as the commander-in-chief and General Weng Zhaoyuan as the deputy commander-in-chief." General Wen Yingxing served as Chief of Staff, and Xie Jinyuan served as Director of the Political Department and Deputy Chief of Staff! ”

Wen Yingxing arrived in Fujian at the invitation of Wang Geng not long ago, and Wen Yingxing was one of the first two people in China to enter the West Point Military Academy, and the other was Chen Tingjia. When Wen Yingxing was at West Point, his grades were generally quite good due to the influence of English, and his practical "military engineering" was second in his class, and when he graduated in 1909, he was ranked 82nd out of 103 students in that class.

After General Wen returned to China, he first taught at the Guangdong Military Academy as a mathematics teacher. In 1912, he was appointed as the overseer of Shanghai. In 1922, he served as Sun Yat-sen's English secretary with the rank of colonel, and later became the chief of the third section, and later became the deputy chief of staff of Chen Qimei, the overseer of Guangdong. After 1914, he served as an engineer of the Sichuan-Han Railway, an engineer of Daye Iron Mine, and an engineer of the Pukou Bureau of Commerce, and was promoted to brigade commander in 1920.

In 1921, Zhang Zuolin was due to the increasing threat of Russia and the Northeast, in order to expand its military strength, so he hired the United States [***] affairs advisory group, Wen Yingxing was also among the candidates being sought, initially served as a staff officer of the Shenyang Guard Brigade, in 1922 he served as the chief of police on the Middle East Road, and in 1924 he was promoted to the chief of security of the Shenyang Special Administrative Region.

In April 1928, Wen Yingxing became the president of Tsinghua University, when the school was affected by the new trend of thought, and the student tide was constantly staged, so the first two presidents could not stay for a long time and were forced to resign, until Wen Yingxing succeeded him, and the school's personnel were not settled.

In 1930, Wen Yingxing was transferred to the Shanghai Public Security Bureau, at that time the Shanghai underworld was very powerful, and the public security director was regarded as a fat shortage, which was a great opportunity for many people to make money and water. However, Wen Yingxing was strictly trained by professional soldiers in the United States, adhered to the West Point Military Academy's motto of "responsibility, honor, and country", and refused to cooperate with evil forces. Subsequently, he served as the first chief of the tax police corps of the Ministry of Finance (the original history had twice served as the chief of the regiment, but now history has changed), after Song Ziwen failed to oppose Chiang and stepped down, Wen Yingxing was also excluded, at this time Wang Geng sent a letter to invite him to come to Fujian, at this time the Fujian incident had just been resolved peacefully, Wen Yingxing happily rushed to Fujian, was treated as a guest by Jin Zhao, and was appointed chief of staff of the Seventh Route Army.

Jin Zhao continued, "The Seventh Route Army consists of two armies, the 39th Army and the new Seventh Army, the commander of the 39th Army is General Liu Heding, the deputy commander is General Lu Xingbang, and there are three divisions, namely the 201st Division (adapted from the original Wuyishan Reading Division), the division commander is Song Jiang, the commander of the 202nd Division is Yun Yinglin (adapted from the original 78th Division), and the commander of the 203rd Division (adapted from the original 52nd Division) Lu Xingrong. The commander of the new Seventh Army is Zhang Junsong, and the deputy commander is General Wang Geng, with four divisions under its jurisdiction, namely the 204th Division (adapted from the original Jin Zhao Reading Division and the 49th Division) The division commander is concurrently served by General Wang Geng, and the 205th Division (adapted from the original 60th Division of the 19th Route Army), the division commander Situ Fei. The 206th Division (adapted from the original 61st Division of the 19th Route Army) was the commander Ding Rongguang, and the 207th Division was concurrently served by the commander Zhang Junsong (adapted from Zhang Junsong's department). After Jin Zhao finished speaking, he couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Situ Fei originally led his troops to surrender to the Central Army at the time of the first Yanping Campaign, and then his troops were disbanded, and he himself has been under house arrest in Yanping by Liu Heding. Jin Zhao naturally would not let go of this fierce general easily, and he was not guilty of the past defection to Jiang, and still entrusted the division commander with the heavy responsibility.

According to the current arrangement, although Liu Heding and Lu Xingbang served as the chief and deputy commanders of the 39th Army, two of the three divisions of the 39th Army were completely in the hands of Jin Zhao's cronies, and the military headquarters of the 39th Army was completely useless. As for the new Seventh Army, it was completely controlled by Jin Zhao. If there is any division that is not controlled, it is only Lu Xingbang, the 203rd Division of Lu Xingrong's brothers, but Jin Zhao is not worried about this. Because of the strength of the Lu brothers, Jin Zhao didn't pay attention to them at all, because of the threat of the Central Army, they would be wooed before, but now that the Central Army has left Fujian, it is easy for Jin Zhao to clean them up.

Subsequently, Jin Zhao announced the defense areas of the various armies, with the general headquarters of the Seventh Route Army and its directly subordinate units stationed in Fuzhou, the military headquarters of the 39th Army stationed in Yanping, and the 201st Division stationed in Jian'ou, Jianyang, Shaowu and other areas in northwest Fujian. The 202nd Division was stationed in the vicinity of Yanping, Gutian and Shuikou. The 203rd Division was stationed in Youxi, Shaxian and other places. The military headquarters of the New Seventh Army was stationed in Zhangzhou, the 204th Division was stationed in Xianyou, Putian and other places, the 205th Division was stationed in Quanzhou, the 206th Division was stationed in Longyan and other places in western Fujian, and the 207th Division was stationed in Zhangzhou.

At the same time, Jin Zhao ordered all divisions to seize the time to carry out reorganization training and restore their combat effectiveness as soon as possible. In order to strengthen the control of the troops, Jin Zhao directly ordered the removal of all officers at or above the company level in the original 60th Division, 61st Division, 49th Division and other divisions, and the senior officers of these units had already gone abroad with Shen Guanghan and others, and the rest were only some battalion and company-level officers. Previously, Jin Zhao had asked Lao Jiang for instructions, hoping to send a group of officers to study at the Central Military Academy, Lao Jiang thought that this was a good opportunity to mix sand with the Seventh Route Army, so he readily agreed, but he didn't expect Jin Zhao to fight this idea and send all these dissidents over.

Lao Jiang is now busy with all his strength to suppress bandits, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of Fujian for a while, but Jin Zhao's current enemy is not only Lao Jiang's family, the Red Army on the border of Fujian and Jiangxi is also a huge threat to Jin Zhao, although Jin Zhao has publicly stated that he will not participate in the civil war and help the Central Army to suppress the Red Army, but if you don't fight people, it doesn't mean that people won't come to fight you. In order to settle this threat, Jin Zhao sent people to secretly rush to the Soviet area to negotiate with the Red Army authorities, hoping to sign a non-aggression pact with the current Line of Actual Control as the boundary. The Red Army did not want to add another big enemy, and in addition to Lao Chiang's economic blockade strategy, which made the people in the Soviet area miserable, the Red Army authorities proposed that the Fujian authorities could cancel the economic blockade of the Soviet area and the two sides would have fair deals. Jin Zhao also readily agreed, of course, these transactions were carried out in secret, and Jin Zhao only provided ordinary daily necessities, as for the arms Jin Zhao refused to sell, the reason is very simple, Jin Zhao is extremely disgusted with the civil war, he will not help any party, because the civil war ultimately consumes his own national defense strength, seeing that it is only more than three years before the outbreak of the all-out war of resistance, Jin Zhao now just wants to seize the time to develop his strength, hoping that in the future war of the whole nation, he can make the suffering loss of China a little smaller.

After the affairs of the army were properly arranged, Jin Zhao began to vigorously develop Fujian, hoping to establish a complete national defense industrial system within three years. According to Jin Zhao's plan, guns and cannons will be built within one year, aircraft and tanks will be built within three years, and warships will be built within five years. Although the planning is good, it is difficult to actually do it.

Whether it is to make guns and artillery, or tanks and warships, they are inseparable from steel, so it is necessary to build steel plants first, and it is completely impossible to rely on imports alone. The construction of steel plants requires mining, road construction, power stations and other auxiliary factories. Fujian's industrial base is quite weak, and all this can only come step by step.

Jin Zhao hired a group of experts and scholars from Xiamen University and other colleges and universities, and summoned a group of experts through the system to begin planning the construction of Fujian Province's national defense industry.

However, to Jin Zhao's surprise, the mineral resources in Fujian are quite rich, especially in the Longyan area of Fujian, where there are not only coal mines, but also iron ore, copper ore and other resources. It is fully equipped with the requirements for the establishment of an industrial base. Among them, the proven reserves of Longyan Yongding Coal Mine are as high as hundreds of billions of tons. Makeng Iron Mine is the largest iron ore mine in East China, with proven iron ore reserves of 477.287 million tons, accounting for 72% of the province's proven reserves, and is a large-scale iron ore deposit. Purple Mountain Copper Mine is the second largest copper mine in the country, Fujian Purple Mountain area contains extremely rich gold and copper mines, with gold reserves of more than 146 tons and copper reserves of more than 2 million tons.

Jin Zhao then decided to vigorously develop the Longyan area, and began to prepare for the construction of the railway from Xiamen to Longyan, and the Fuzhou to Zhangzhou railway was cut off, and the Fuzhou to Nanchang section of the railway was put into the plan. (To be continued.) )
