"... Unlike many people imagined, the first one to support Liu Jingxiao as his teacher was his father. His father mentioned this to me many times..." (Excerpted from "Remembering My Father Yu Changqing")

...

There are many similar memories. Everyone who attended the meeting claimed that they were the first to support Liu Jingxiao as the leader, so historians could not guess who was the first to express their successor to Liu Jingxiao.

The truth is completely different from imagination. As soon as Chen Fangren finished speaking, Liu Jingxiao immediately stood up, smashed the revolver hard on the table, and asked everyone: "Who is against me being this family!"

Although Liu Jingxiao is usually kind, she has a fierce look on her face at this time, she is full of sharpness and her eyes are staring down fiercely.

The following was silent immediately and he didn't dare to speak. Judging from the situation, everyone knew that Liu Jingxiao was bound to win this position.

In this matter, several company commanders had no right to speak and did not dare to speak. The only ones who could speak were four battalion commanders. However, Li Heyi was now half a person in Liu Jingxiao's system, so he naturally would not object, let alone he was mediocre and incompetent, so he naturally did not have the courage to resist Liu Jingxiao.

Chen Ce had just been promoted from company commander to acting battalion commander. He was not qualified enough and was Liu Jingxiao's old subordinate, so naturally he would not oppose Liu Jingxiao.

Although the remaining two battalion commanders, Xiao Rulang and Murong Xuehai, both thought that Liu Jingxiao was coming with great force and fighting with him was the best way to do so. Therefore, they did not want to force themselves to be the first bird, nor did they have the determination to fight against Liu Jingxiao. They all wanted to let the other party shoot the first shot so that they could take the opportunity to get some bargains.

What's more, whoever speaks first will become rivals with Liu Jingxiao, and the third party can only benefit. As a result, both of them just tighten their faces but do not speak.

As for the friendly officers who came to attend the meeting, they were so happy that they let the Dingbian Army make trouble themselves.

But this happened, it was a bit uneasy. Liu Jingxiao was a little anxious. He thought about it and continued to say loudly: "Then thank you for your kindness. Jingxiao can only refuse it!"

He understood what he said. It was already a fait accompli for him to be the commander of the Dingbian Army, but there were only sparse applause in the venue, and most of them were cadres from Zhuque. Chen Fangren frowned and said, "More applause!"

At this time, there were finally dense applause. Xiao Rulang and Murong Xuehai looked at each other, then stood up to congratulate Liu Jingxiao, and said, "It's the most appropriate thing for Jingxiao to do this!"

Liu Jingxiao also smiled and said affectionately: "It's all a family. Don't worry, Lao Xiao and Murong. Now the location in the camp is not moving, and it's up to you two to arrange it."

The friendly officers on the side also came up to congratulate him. Liu Jingxiao smiled and responded very appropriately. In this way, Liu Jingxiao's position as commander was officially decided. Guo Junqing immediately drafted a telegram asking for the removal of Liu Jingxiao's position. Everyone took turns to sign and support the telegram and handed it over to the messenger to the post office for a photo.

Then, a simple inauguration ceremony was held, and Chen Fangren respectfully handed over the guards, military flags and other items of the Dingbian Army to Liu Jingxiao. Liu Jingxiao was not polite and took it directly and asked Chen Zhenlong, who had a high position, to deliver a congratulatory speech.

In this way, the inheritance that Wang Shancheng, an old soldier, was completely taken over by Liu Jingxiao, but Liu Jingxiao didn't have much time to deal with his funeral. His current top priority was to win over these officers and soldiers. As a result, Wang Shancheng was buried with ordinary officers and soldiers of the Dingbian Army in a hurry.

"Faced with the position of commander of the Dingbian Army, except for Xiao Rulang's request to take the opportunity to seize leadership several times, everyone exerted a spirit of humility, but Xiao Rulang's ambition was timely discovered and rebuked by Company Commander Bai Siwen. Finally, after democratic decision-making, everyone believed that Liu Jingxiao could lead everyone to the next victory, so they unanimously recommended Liu Jingxiao to take over as the Dingbian Army and the commander of the 1st Division of the Recha temporary division. Although Liu Jingxiao refused several times, he finally accepted this glorious appointment under everyone's persuasion." (Excerpt from "Military History of the Dingbian Army")

However, the power seizure incident in this border town had a far-reaching impact on future history. In the subsequent battles of Hebei, the hundreds of thousands of Republican troops who fought in the fierce wind and Tiele invading army were mostly derived from this. Research articles on this matter can be said to have accumulated as mountains, but these articles do not mention Liu Jingxiao's actions after this.

In order to congratulate his new official on his appointment, he immediately set up a banquet at the most luxurious restaurant in Linxi City, and called dozens of beautiful waitresses (of course this is the public name). Everyone hugged each other and ate a hot drink. He immediately felt that Liu Jingxiao's image was much cute.

Of course, he didn't have to pay for this. Chen Zhenlong decided to remember this account on his head. Of course, some historical researchers pointed out that the corrupt Rui army did not dare to pursue the Rouran rebels after the Battle of Linxi, but was busy with depravity and enjoyment. The next day's bill showed a lot of prostitution costs, and only Dingbian army went out of the city to pursue and gain great success.

The next day, Liu Jingxiao transferred the troops back to the city. At this time, the Rouran enemy outside the city had already fled Wuying. Liu Jingxiao first held a simple funeral to cremate the martyrs, and then placed the wounded soldiers.

Then Liu Jingxiao opened hundreds of tables of water seats to eat in the sea. Before the meal, each soldier paid another five yuan in military pay, and the officers paid ten yuan. As for the officers and soldiers who died in battle, Liu Jingxiao included the money as a pension, which was a reward that Chen Zhenlong promised before the war. Due to the urgent war, it was not paid. As soon as the money was received, the officers and soldiers immediately praised Liu Jingxiao with great praise.

As for Liu Jingxiao, he still didn't drink much at the banquet. He had a lot of alcohol tolerance and had a lot of aftermath to deal with, so no one would drink him anymore. As for some uninterested guys coming to drink wine, there were cadres from Zhuque who were born on his behalf.

However, Liu Jingxiao still felt dizzy. He looked at a remittance order he had just received and was stunned: "Xu Zhen? Buy clothes? So much money? How much clothes is this enough to buy?"
