    Xu Shuzheng used his fingers to line up the seventeen army divisions formally established in Beiyang. Wang Geng found that the Anhui clique only had five divisions. Even if the divisions of the three local warlords were brought over, there were only eight divisions, while the Zhili clique had only five divisions.  There are nine divisions, and almost all of them are directly connected to the capital near the capital. The first division and the 16th division are in the Tongzhou camp, the third division is in Baoding, and the eighth division is in Tianjin Machang. There are four divisions that surround the capital.  The water is suffocating.

    "Wang Geng, joining the war army is the hard work of me, you and Youzheng. It doesn't matter who can add sand. You have also seen that the current military strength and territory are dominated by Feng Guozhang's direct line. Our Anhui line has far more generals who can fight.  There are not as many generals who can play mahjong and smoke cigarettes. You must lead the model army for me!" The Prime Minister's tone was a little low.

    "Wang Geng, don't play tricks. I don't believe you don't have a serious candidate to be the commander of the Second Division! Hurry up and tell me!" Xu Shuzheng obviously also felt that the Anhui faction would not have the upper hand at this time, and future success or failure would all depend on joining the war.  Can the army grow into a direct lineage of aces who dare to fight as soon as possible!

    "If Wu Peifu can't win over, I plan to let Chief of Staff Jiang Hongyu be the commander of the second division, and the vacant position of Chief of Staff will be filled by Jiang Fangzhen, the head of the teaching regiment!" Wang Geng finally told his plan.

    "Ha, Wang Geng, Jiang Hongyu has only been your chief of staff for more than two months, have you thought about it?" Duan Qirui smiled. Both he and Xu Shuzheng have a deep understanding of Wang Geng's way of employing people.  That is to emphasize military school students and intelligent generals who are good at strategy, rather than a warrior with a brutal face.

    "Prime Minister, I think it works! Aren't most of the current graduates of Baoding Military Academy recruited by the war armies? Wang Geng's Chief of Staff of Chiang Kai-shek is also from Baoding, not to mention Jiang Fangzhen, the former principal of Baoding Military Academy. Since he  If you are willing to come out, your loyalty to the Prime Minister and our Anhui Clique will not be compromised!" Xu Shuzheng obviously supported Wang Geng's idea of ??promoting chief officials from within.

    "Okay! If you don't trust the people you employ, let Jiang Hongyu be the commander of the second division and lead the troops, and Jiang Fangzhen will take over as your chief of staff!" The Prime Minister made the final decision!

    On June 18, 1917, the Second Division of the Model Army was officially organized in Nanyuan. Wang Geng recommended his Chief of Staff Jiang Hongyu as the commander of the Second Division, which surprised everyone, but at the same time they thought it was a quite appropriate arrangement.  The brigade commanders Shi Jingting, Qiu Bin, and Liu Yufen were not convinced.

    As for Li Mingzhong, Zhang Zhijiang and Zhang Shusheng, they finally became brigade commanders, and they couldn't hide the joy in their hearts. However, in order to strengthen the strength of the second division, Wang Geng combined the second division and the first division.  The six brigades were again mixed as follows:

    Shi Jingting, commander of the first brigade of the first division, Li Mingzhong, commander of the second brigade, Zhang Shusheng, commander of the third brigade, Qiu Bin, commander of the fourth brigade of the second division, Liu Yufen, commander of the fifth brigade, Zhang Zhijiang, commander of the sixth brigade, Wang  Geng did not break his promise, and the three new brigade commanders Li Mingzhong, Zhang Zhijiang and Zhang Shusheng also deserved their names. They have never fallen behind after more than two months of hard work. Military discipline and military training are still top-notch, and the three major disciplines and nine points of attention are  Although the military songs were sung with a broken voice, they were performed with high spirits.

    Jiang Fangzhen did not expect that in less than a month, he would rise from the head of the teaching regiment to the chief of staff of the model army participating in the war. The so-called intellectual's idea that a scholar will die for his confidant filled the chest of this Baili brother.  The words Wang Geng held his hand and said to him the day before are still in his ears:

    "Brother Baili! There are countless literati in China who can write poems and write poems, but there is no second Jiang Baili! The country is in troubled times. Although Wang Geng is just a man, he is determined to join the army and serve the country. With his great talent, he must not refuse.  This is the position of chief of staff! We will fight to the death until the old Maozi and the little devils are driven out of China and the country is unified!"

    "Supervisor Wang, as long as you sincerely serve the country, it doesn't matter if Jiang Baili gives up his life!" The former principal of Baoding held the hand of his supervisor tightly, his heart was ups and downs. Although the supervisor in front of him was young, he became someone else in a short period of time.  For the big things that have not been accomplished in so many years, follow him and fight again to see if he is a national hero or just a warlord. This is Jiang Baili's true thought in his heart!

    As the leader of the training group of the participating army, Wang Geng appointed a candidate that surprised everyone, that is Guo Songling, who graduated from Beijing Army University last year and taught at the Beijing Martial Arts Hall. Guo Songling was only 34 years old this year and was still an old alliance member.  Wang Geng appointed the unknown Guo Songling as a member of the army. Not only did the participating army and others not think of it, but even Guo Songling himself did not think of it.

    Even Guo Songling's talent was unknown to him at this time, but Wang Geng had never forgotten that if this guy hadn't been betrayed by Feng Yuxiang in his previous life, Zhang Zuolin would have been ousted from the stage early on. Guo Guizi, who Zhang Xueliang regarded as both a teacher and a friend, would definitely  He is a wise and courageous general who can stand alone in the history of China's Beiyang.

    In 1912, Guo Songling was admitted to the Beijing General School Research Institute.  In the autumn of 1913, Guo Songling was admitted to Beijing Mainland University.University, after graduation, he served as an instructor at the Beijing Martial Arts Hall. If it hadn't been for the emergence of Wang Geng, the butterfly, that changed history, after the outbreak of the Dharma Protector War in his previous life, Guo Songling would have gone south to join Sun Dapao, and then returned to the north after the failure of the Dharma Protector next year.  Go up and submit to the Fengtian Department. Who knows that this guy is a serious Fengtian native of Shenyang.

    "Supervisor Wang, although you are young, no one in the government or the public in the capital knows about your name these days. The things you have pushed the government to do, and what the army has done for the people in the past few months, are better than what the government has done in the past few years.  He has done a lot and can be called a model army, with strict discipline and high energy. The supervisor came to invite me in person. Although Song Ling was extremely grateful and happy, there was one thing he had to ask!" Guo Songling stared at Wang Geng's eyes!  The persistent way.

    ¡°It¡¯s okay, instructor Guo, I, Wang Geng, only engage in intrigues, not conspiracies!¡± Wang Geng held Guo Songling¡¯s hand and said with a smile.

    "Everyone knows that I was a member of the alliance, but now the north and the south have not become one. The Beiyang has been wary of the south for a long time. The supervisory committee has appointed me to join the war army. Are you not afraid that I will lead the team to the south in the future?" Guo Songling asked seriously!

    "Just as the president is the president of the country, the National Assembly is the parliament of the country, the cabinet and the prime minister are also the same, and the soldiers participating in the war are the army of the country. Our slogan is everything for the country! Whoever does something beneficial to the country, we will support him  ! Anyone who does something harmful to the country will be defeated!

    I, Wang Geng, have no distinction between north and south or between parties. To be prosperous and prosperous, the country must be unified, must oppose military intervention in politics, and build democracy and a republic. However, this road may be long, and one more person means more strength!  If one day I, Wang Geng, abandon my ideals, instructor Guo, then you can stand up and lead the model army to defeat me!  "Wang Geng's tone was full of sincerity!

    "Okay! Supervisor Wang, I promise you to join the war army! I will remember your answer! And testify whether you are a true hero who is dedicated to the public, or a warlord who deceives the world and steals his reputation!"

    Although Jiang Fangzhen only served as the head of the training group of the participating army for less than a month and was promoted to the chief of staff of the participating army, in the teaching group, he recruited many trainees from the third batch of Baoding Military Academy who had no good placement after graduation last year for Wang Geng.  , especially since Ni Sichong's Anwu Army actually hired two platoon leaders and a trainee to join the training group of the participating armies.

    The three of them were all infantrymen of the third phase of Baoding Military Academy. They enrolled in August 1914 and graduated in August 1916.  A 27-year-old Zhang Zhizhong from Chaohu, Anhui, a 25-year-old Cai Tingkai from Luoding, Guangdong, and a 25-year-old Xu Tingyao from Wuwei, Anhui. These three people and the 24-year-old Bai Chongxi, who is of Arab descent, are known as Baoding Phase III Infantry Division IV.  Mahadeva.

    "It's a pity that Bai Chongxi, who was most favored by Jiang Fangzhen, returned to Guangxi as soon as he graduated and joined the First Division of the Guangxi Army as a trainee. It was not easy to recruit him at that time.

    At this time, Jiang Fangzhen became the chief of staff of the participating army. Wang Geng encouraged him to quickly write to Bai Chongxi. Being a second lieutenant trainee in the Guangxi Army was too unqualified. At this time, Zhang Zhizhong, Cai Tingkai and Xu Tingyao were already instructors of the participating army.  The captain and company commander of the regiment, and most likely he would be directly assigned to serve as the battalion commander when the third division of the participating army was formed. This temptation must have been difficult for Bai Chongxi, who was struggling in the army in Guangxi, to resist.

    According to Wang Geng¡¯s memory, it would have been four years before Bai Chongxi became a battalion commander in the Guangxi Army in his previous life. According to the current development momentum of the participating armies, Zhang Zhizhong and others may have become division commanders and brigade commanders by then!  To be on the safe side, Wang Geng personally summoned the newly recruited company commanders of the three teaching regiments at the headquarters and comforted them.

    Finally, the three of them were asked to write a letter to Bai Chongxi in Guangxi, inviting Xiaobai to come to Beijing and join the Central Committee to join the war army!  The position of captain and company commander is just a starting price. If you work for half a year, you will at least be a regiment commander!

    Ni Sichong telegraphed the complaint to the Prime Minister and Xu Shuzheng, saying that Wang Geng's war troops abducted his subordinates, but Duan Qirui gave him a scolding, and the top students from Baoding Military Academy stayed with you for a full year.  He is a second lieutenant trainee and platoon leader. I think your Anwu Army is getting worse and worse. If it doesn't work, just disband it and join the war model army and reinvent it!

    Ni Sichong sniffed and became silent. In fact, Lao Duan and Xiao Xu were happy to see Wang Geng join the war army and recruit and promote officers from Anhui. Zhang Zhizhong and Xu Tingyao are the seeds of serious Anhui. In the future, they will be ours.  The backbone of the Anhui Clan's direct lineage!
