Chapter 28: Expanding the Army

The situation was much better than Liu Jingxiao imagined. Although the provincial army's attack caused the 17th Division to be in a panic, lost six outposts in a row, and five companies suffered great losses. The two companies of the cavalry regiment were almost completely destroyed, they have now stabilized their positions. The most damaged ones were Xiao Maxiong's troops. The 17th Division did not hurt much vitality and had an advantage in some places. Before they knew it, they mentioned the key to this incident - the death of Ding Chong.

Ding Chong's death was not entirely within Wang Ziqi's plan. On the contrary, the two sides reached a compromise. After Liu Jingxiao entered Ji, they would clarify the responsibilities of the provincial and southern Shandong, and also clarify the power of the governor and the governor. However, the day after the agreement was reached, an uninvited guest came to Jinan City.

The guest's surname was Xu and his name was Youzheng, and it was the soul of the Prime Minister Duan. As soon as he entered Jinan City, he talked to Wang Ziqi for a night, and the next night Wang Ziqi put Ding Chong down.

Among the northern soldiers, Ding Chong is a very rare sect. In this regard, his opinions are very similar to Liu Jingxiao. In fact, his meaning is very obvious. Since so many southern expeditions have failed in history, Duan Tiemin took advantage of Zhao Yun to fail again. The southern expedition is no longer a useless move. It is better to take the opportunity to seek peace with the south and then reach an agreement that both sides can accept in Zhi and Hubei.

But this is not the taste of Duan Tiemin and Xu Youzheng. These two advocated the unification of force the most. Chen Yunjie issued a telegram in Hengyang, but Xu Youzheng could not control him. However, Ding Chong was in the jurisdiction of the Hubei Department, and Ding Chong had a great influence among the graduates of Baoding and Lu University, and some people agreed. In Duan Tiemin's face, he was a pure-hearted platform for dismantling the Hubei Department and a traitor from the Hubei Department.

The day after Ding Chong was imprisoned, Xu Youzheng obtained Wang Ziqi's consent and sentenced Ding Chong to death in the name of "counseling bandits and intending to rebel." However, Ouyang Xin, the secretary-general of the court, was quite smart and shouted: "No!"

But Xu Youzheng was very stubborn and could not care so much. After a single arrow, the military judge went to mention the person. Ouyang Xin was agile and sent a telegram to Duan Tiemin and asked him to take back Cheng Ming. But when he arrived with the call back, Ding Chong fell under the rain of bullets. Ouyang Xin also regretted it and said bitterly: "It's another big mistake!"

Since Ding Chong was killed, he had to deal with Liu Jingxiao, who was wearing a pair of pants with him. Wang Ziqi's combat preparations would not be completed early next year. However, since Xu Youzheng could convince Wang Ziqi to kill Ding Chong with a perfect tongue, he naturally had his own set of words.

Now Xu Youzheng has trained the Northwest Frontier Defense Forces and the Third Division and the Third Brigade of the Participating Army, so it will naturally come in handy. It will not be used to pacify the south for now. He voluntarily went to the sea of ​​fire for Wang Ziqi. If Wang Ziqi cannot solve Liu Jingxiao, he will wait for his troops to come out of Henan.

Wang Ziqi was naturally confident when he received this promise. He immediately ordered the front-line defenders to attack the entire line. The provincial troops on the front also suffered difficulties. Both sides were usually configured to launch an attack, so it was not so easy to launch an attack for a while. As a result, Shen Ying, the commander of the independent regiment guarding Jining, came up with an idea. He took a train to raid Liu Jingxiao's rear.

Suddenly, although Xiong Xi's military horse statistics department received information, when the information was released, Liu Jingxiao happened to inspect the outpost in the front. Ding Ning, who was on duty in the rear, rushed over, but in the end, he was still one step late, allowing Liu Jingxiao to perform a good show of escaping from death.

After hearing the introduction, Liu Jingxiao nodded and took a little care of the matter. Guo Junqing finally said angrily: "When you go out this time, why did you kidnap the beautiful female doctor back?"

Liu Jingxiao was stunned and asked, "Beautiful female doctor? Is Dr. Chen very beautiful?"

After he was injured, his mind was always a little bad. At this time, he remembered something and said, "I want to thank the elders of Shangduan Village this time. You go out and help me thank them!"

Guo Junqing immediately responded and went out to thank the people from Shangduan Village. She asked the village chief and said, "I thank you for yourselves on behalf of Jingxiao! I am so grateful to you. I will be exempted from the land tax this year! And..."

As he said that, he asked a dozen officers and soldiers to bring out the turbulent oil that had just been picked up from the warehouse: "These things are not grateful, please accept them!"

In fact, these things are not particularly valuable, but they are what farmers need the most, and there are a large number. The village chief immediately replied: "Why are you so embarrassed... I'm so embarrassed!"

As he was talking, the supplies had been collected. At this time, the village chief pointed at Zhong Xiaodao again and said, "I have another unhappy request. This is a dog Xiaodao. It is very useless. I want to train in the army... I wonder if the Chief of Staff can take care of you?"

After all, Guo Junqing saved Liu Jingxiao's life, so Guo Junqing was not easy to refuse. He immediately came to Sima Kan and said, "This Zhuangshi Zhong saved the life of the division commander. Now he wants to join the army. Does Sima have any good position?"

Zhong Xiaodao also tried it out loud. He said: "I graduated from junior high school and started joint defense some time ago. I received half a month of training..."

Sima Kan was in a difficult situation. The officer promotion system of the 17th Division was very strict. People who had almost never been trained like this would never reach the sky in one step, otherwise it would cause the troops to rebound. Finally, he thought for a while and said, "Let's do this! Go to my camp to exercise first!"

This matter was settled, but Zhong Xiaodao was worried that Dr. Chen would come again and asked Dr. Chen when he would go back to Shangduan Village. However, Dr. Chen felt that he was treating Liu Jingxiao and had to wait until the condition stabilized before he could go back. As a result, Zhong Xiaodao could only leave with fear.

Liu Jingxiao only found out that Dr. Chen was a beauty the next morning. When he woke up in the morning, Dr. Chen happened to fall asleep and leaned against the hospital bed. His white hat could not cover his hair all over his head. His face was leaning against the white sheet, only a smooth side was exposed. However, the scene exposed in the loose white coat made Liu Jingxiao blush.

The weather is still hot, and from Liu Jingxiao's perspective, a small piece of perfect breasts appeared in her white coat, which was truly an ice-skinned and jade-like bone, which seemed to exude luster from time to time. Fortunately, Liu Jingxiao always had some resistance and woke Dr. Chen up with a "hoa". She stood up immediately. The beautiful scenery would only remain in Liu Jingxiao's dream in the future.

Liu Jingxiao's first sentence was: "I've beaten Dr. Chen, I want to ask for a question!"

Dr. Chen was also very polite, and she said, "Mr. Liu, please tell me!"

"How long will it take for me to be discharged from the hospital?"

"Mr. Liu is seriously injured. I think if it's too fast, I can get up in one month and basically recover in two months!"

Liu Jingxiao was so anxious. The war in front of him was burning. He couldn't stay in the hospital. He immediately said, "How long will it take to get better?"

As he said that, he couldn't help but pull the wound. Dr. Chen smiled faintly and gently: "This is not true, you are a patient!"

Liu Jingxiao stayed in the hospital bed for a long time and had an idea again after a long time. He said to Dr. Chen: "I want to meet Junqing!"

Dr. Chen smiled: "Do you miss your wife?"

As a result, the first sentence when Liu Jingxiao saw Guo Junqing was: "Call the commanders and battalion commanders who called me! Of course, the troops must be commanded!"

Dr. Chen has absolutely objected to this: "The patient needs rest and cannot be beaten..."

But sometimes technicians are not popular, and politics always overwhelms technology. When they heard Liu Jingxiao's convening, the cadres rushed over quickly. Now is a good opportunity to show their loyalty. No matter how far or too busy they are, they will get into the hospital bed. Even Bai Siwen, the young company commander, arrived.

He was about to drill into the ward when Liu Jingxiao gave Sima Kan a look and immediately pushed Bai Siwen out of the ward, saying rudely: "This will be without you! There is no place for you here!"

Bai Siwen could only stay outside and listen. Then Sima Kan had another row of guards. Liu Jingxiao, right! All the officers above the division battalion commander did not pull any of them. He was very ill and spoke very lightly, so Guo Junqing sat beside him and recounted Liu Jingxiao's words: "We suffered a big loss this time. All the responsibilities are on me, and I will take responsibility..."

The higher the level, the smaller the responsibility you need to bear. This is a practice in the Chinese officialdom, so all the battalion commanders bowed their heads and said, "It is our fault for the failure of this battle. Please do not blame yourself..."

Now the 17th Division is still his 17th Division, and everything is still under his control. Liu Jingxiao continued to speak: "Please call the whole country for me..."

"Since entering Shandong, I have been in charge of governing affairs every day to seek peace and stability in the country. Unexpectedly, the evil people used their intentions as vicious, but I was not expecting it... I recently heard that Ding Shuai was harmed by a traitor, and even attacked southern Shandong with bandits. Jingxiao was almost unexpected... Now I saw Duan thief stealing a high position, underestimating the president, treating the Congress as nothing, consuming the national treasury to train private soldiers, communicating foreign thieves and leading civil war, and Wang supervising Lu... For a long time, the country is not a country, and although Jingxiao tried to avoid conflicts... Only now can only punish the people and attack the unjust..."

Those who dare to publicly name Duan Tiemin are the first among the northern soldiers, and even the southern soldiers may not have such courage. This is a formal rebellion.

"Jingxiao has received great kindness from Chongshang several times, but she really dares not abandon her. Chongshang has no son and only has one woman under her knees. Jingxiao leads more than ten thousand people from Shandong to support Ding Jing as the governor..."

Duan Tiemin looked at the power outage, and his face turned pale. He didn't speak for a long time. It took him a long time to report: "Parliament wants to ask the Prime Minister to go to Parliament to explain."

The governor and the governor are of similar ranks, and it is illegal to kill the governor without any reason. Moreover, this can be said to be a bad precedent since the Republic. The Congress is a general clay bodhisattva, and he has to protest. Moreover, Xu Youzheng did choose a good opportunity. Fengfang and southern parliamentarians set off a wave of downfall in the parliament. In the end, Duan Tiemin still had a dark face: "This is all my idea, Ding Chongtong has the evidence..."

But how to deal with the aftermath, Duan Tiemin came up with the most clever idea: "I just resign!"

But in front of Liu Jingxiao's bed, there is one thing that is more important than powering on. After Liu Jingxiao's reading of the power, the cadres unanimously opposed it: "Teacher-in-Chief! We all support you, why should we find Ding Jing to be the governor?"

Even Ding Ning felt that the incident happened suddenly and refused. Liu Jingxiao did not need Guo Junqing to repeat it, and said word by word: "Jingxiao was favored by the grandmaster and was naturally to take care of her descendants!"

Take care of it more? Ding Ning doesn’t believe this nonsense, so why bother to push a child out of it as a signboard!

Liu Jingxiao's 17th Division was a guest army. Although it had a good relationship with the local area, its relationship with the local area was weaker in the end. It was only by relying on Ding Chong's prestige. So Liu Jingxiao simply played this card. Then Liu Jingxiao glanced at Li He again, signaled him to come, and then said: "I'm sorry for Brigade Commander Li!"

Then he asked Sima Kan to come over again, shook his hand, and smiled and said, "Congratulations to Commander Sima! Do it well!"

Sima Kan is now the battalion commander. Liu Jingxiao called him the regiment commander and was naturally promoted to the regiment commander. He was naturally ecstatic. His promotion was almost a miracle. A year ago, he was just a company commander, but he didn't expect that he would be promoted to regiment commander at once.

Then Liu Jingxiao congratulated the battalions commanders one by one, and finally said to the four regiment commanders: "I think about it all over the place, but four regiments are not enough"!

The four regiment commanders were naturally very happy. All their subordinates were promoted, so they naturally had to go a step further. Liu Jingxiao seemed to be in the hospital bed and said endlessly: "Now the four regiments will be expanded into four brigades later!"

Among the four regiment commanders, only Li Heyi served as the brigade commander, but it was just a noun. Han Xinhai had his own small system, so he was even more happy about the other regiment commanders.

Now, except for the Han Xinhai Regiment, which is a third battalion unit, the other troops are two battalions and eight companies, so Liu Jingxiao explained his expansion plan in detail. Based on the current battalion and four companies, it was expanded into two battalions and six companies infantry regiments, and later it was found a way to expand into the third battalion and nine companies. As for Han Xinhai Brigade, since he originally had twelve infantry companies of the third battalion, he was especially responsible for him to form two third battalion and nine companies infantry regiments.

In this way, the 17th Division expanded from four infantry regiments to eight infantry regiments. As for the infantry companies that were missing, Liu Jingxiao had long planned to be transferred from the security forces of Xiao Maxiong and Ding Chong, so that the new and old troops could be pulled out to fight immediately after being combined. As for the vacancies of the security forces, the slight amount of the security forces would be solved by sequentially increasing them.

Regarding this plan, the cadres had smiles on their faces, but Xiao Maxiong was very unhappy because the backbone troops were transferred, so it was necessary to throw bones. Liu Jingxiao said: "Brother Xiao, don't worry! Your troops are still not moving according to the original organization, and the company that has been promoted is promoted from the security teams of each county. By the way, since Chongshuo has left, his troops will be temporarily commanded by Brother Xiao!"

Everyone is willing to make money. Before leaving the ward, all the cadres bowed to Liu Jingxiao San and said, "As long as they wish, they will be honored and disgraced."
