Chapter 36: Strong Country Meeting

  That night, Wang Houxu found Yang Xing and reported the matter of pulling down Wang Lingji and disintegrating the model team to Yang Xing. Then, each battalion commander and company commander reported one after another.

  Upon hearing this, Yang Xing felt the severity of the problem.

  There are two sources of power for oneself, one is granted by Yin Changheng, and in a year, it shows the appointment of artillery company commander, regimental commander, deputy division commander. Since most of the main military officers of the model division come from Sichuan Army Elementary School, this special source still has some legitimacy.

  Another is the outstanding military achievements established by the Western Expedition to Tibet. In the army, there are two things that need to be done to stand firm: one is military achievements and the other is seniority. As Wang Lingji thought, he was a student of the Wubei Academy, so he should have an advantage over Yang Xing in taking the post of commander of the Sichuan Army Model Regiment.

  Now, Yin Changheng has left Chengdu, Yang Xing, who knows a little about history, of course knows that he cannot return to Chengdu. Once in Beijing, he will be controlled by Yuan Shikai. ?? Patriotic warlord 36

  It seems that whether it is Hu Jingyi or Wang Lingji, they can pose a threat to the model team. How to reduce the threat?

  Lying on the camp bed, he was deep in thought for a long time.

  Hu Jingyi bought Wang Lingji's position and used his official title, so how can I get those brothers under me to serve me? You know, many of them are my seniors.

  The Nationalist state, politics and parties were extremely chaotic; before the revolution, there were many different organizations in China.

  Currently, there are many political parties in the ongoing parliamentary elections.

  Of course, due to the relatively shallow qualifications, it is not possible to establish any political party for the time being. So in the model regiment, can we establish what kind of organization? In this way, the model regiment will unite all the battalions and companies around itself. In this case, even if Hu Jingyi and Wang Lingji are quite dissatisfied, there is nothing they can do about it?

  Moreover, since returning to Chengdu, Yang Xing has been thinking of developing outside. Although Chengdu is good, due to the presence of Hu Jingyi and being the provincial capital of Sichuan, it's easy to get blamed, so it's better to be in other places.

  Thinking of this, Yang Xing couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

  At once, Wen Xiang made a count and found that the Model Battalion actually had 12 members of the Tongmenghui, and 23 students from the Sichuan Army Primary School and the Sichuan Army Speed ??Elementary School.

  After several battles and with the addition of new methods and techniques used in the previous training process, Yang Xing was quite confident that he could win over these model troops' backbone to his side.

  At this point, Yang Xing was overjoyed and secretly pondered that it seemed there was a way to deal with Hu Jingyi and Wang Lingji's divisive activities.

  On this day, Yang Xing will bring together members of the Alliance Society and graduates of military schools.

  Everyone is a master, you see that in the meeting, there are no ordinary people. Some of them, as soon as they meet, shout loudly: "Team leader, be careful of Wang Lingji! When the supervisor was around, and when Tao Team Leader was around, it was one set of rules. Now that the supervisor is gone, it's another set of rules!"

  Another person sneered: Wang Lingguan, who thinks he's elegant and refined, and also thinks his medical skills are superb?

  Another person shouted: Wang Lingguan is nothing but a qualified old man and the predecessor of the Martial Arts Department, looking at his appearance, he wants to be the captain.

  For a time, the whole venue was in an uproar, with many people accusing Wang Lingji of destroying the model team's unity.

  Yang Xing saw the situation and knew that it was time, so he smiled and said: Brothers, to be honest, Wang Fangzhou's criticism of me is basically valid. I'm relatively young, and my time in the military is relatively short. In less than a year, I went from being a student to becoming the captain of an artillery company, battalion commander, and deputy commander of the model regiment. To be honest, it's a bit too fast. Since Commander Tao left, sometimes I feel really tired, really exhausted.

  Everyone listened, staring at Yang Xing with wide eyes. Zhu Ermin spoke up first: "Deputy Commander, you don't have to say anything. In the past two months, who hasn't seen that he's a turtle? When Commander Tao was around, Deputy Commander has always been in charge of military affairs. The changes in the model regiment over the past two months are clear for everyone to see. If anyone opposes Deputy Commander, don't blame me for not showing mercy due to our past friendship - I, Zhu Ermin, will be the first to show no quarter."

  It seems unusually heavy, interrupting Zhu Ermin's words: Zhu Lianchang, it's strange that you're like this. Since Wang Lingji, the head of the Wang camp, has brought it up, let's re-elect a leader for our model regiment. Let Wang Lingji take over as acting regimental commander, and I'll still be deputy regimental commander. How does everyone think?

  The battalion commander of the 2nd Battalion, He Erchuan, shook his head and said: "Commander, this won't do. Wang Lingguan is no good at fighting, and he's too selfish. If we put the model regiment in his hands, it will definitely not work."

  He was delighted and said: "Lao He, why can't it be done? Wang Ying is a man of great virtue and prestige, and he's also a senior from the Military Preparation Department, why can't it be done?"

  Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou Dayong took over the topic and said: Deputy Regiment Commander, logically speaking, I am also a graduate of the Speed ??Learning Academy, Wang Lingji was once my teacher, I should support him. However, Wang Lingji is really not good? Every day with a Jianghu Langzhong dress, so our model regiment is a vegetable market or something else? In addition, as Deputy Regiment Commander said, Wang Lingji is not good at fighting and often has biases in handling affairs. If the model regiment is handed over to him, this team will definitely be ruined by him.

  Wang Xiu took over the topic and said: Deputy team leader, I think you should take on this role. The other day Wang Lingji came to talk to me, and my attitude was the same. If Wang Lingji were to serve as acting team leader, I, Wang Zhiyi, would be the first to disobey.

  Battalion Commander Cheng Peng took over the topic and said: Deputy Regimental Commander, I also have this attitude. When General Yin Da and Colonel Tao left, they were both appointed as acting regimental commanders by appointing deputy regimental commanders. How could Wang Lingguan bring up old affairs again just two days after they left?

  Yang Xing shook his head and said: "Everyone, thank you for your support, but after all, I'm too junior. Let me see, Wang Lingji is from the Martial Arts Academy, oh, Wang Zhiyi, the battalion commander, graduated from the Quick Success Department of the Military Academy, he's a senior brother. I propose that Brother Wang Xuanxu take charge of team affairs, what do you all think?"

  Wang Xiu heard this and shook his head repeatedly, refusing to comply.

  Then there is Cheng Peng, this former personal guard of Grand Commander Yin Changhe, and so on, all of whom resolutely refused.

  Especially Wang Xuxu and Cheng Peng, seeing Yang Xing like this, firmly demanded that Yang Xing not resign from his labor, pointing to the sky and swearing an oath. When Tao Zekun was present, he would be loyal to Commander Tao, and when Commander Tao was not present, he would definitely obey Yang Xing's command.

  Yang Xing finally let out a sigh of relief, what a close call. If some people had agreed with Wang Lingji, Wang Zanxu or Cheng Peng just now, he would have been finished as the acting team leader.

  Now seeing everyone supporting themselves, he immediately smiled and said: "Fellow students, after being in the army for a year, I only feel that there is not enough practical application of what we learned. In the past, when I was at the Army Primary School, I was full of confidence, but now that I'm commanding various units to fight and train, I realize that there are many things I don't understand. I think our model regiment is the elite of the Sichuan army, mainly composed of officers from the Sichuan Army Speed-Up Academy and the Sichuan Army Primary School. I want to establish an organization where we can support each other in training and combat, what do you think?

  Everyone heard this and loudly cheered in agreement.

  Later, when determining the name of the organization, some said Lushao Lianyuehui, and others said Chuanjun Junguan Lianyuehui, which was not uniform.

  Seeing everyone arguing with red faces, Yang Xing suggested: Everyone, please calm down. Although we are all military officers, what is the main purpose of being a military officer? It's to defend the border, ensure the people's safety and serve the country. If it's called the Sichuan Army Officers' Association, wouldn't that exclude Wang Zanxu, the battalion commander, and Cheng Peng, the battalion commander? And if it's called the Sichuan Military Officers' Association, what about our fellow Tongmenghui members who are still serving as soldiers?

  Wang Si Ma took over the topic and said: That's right, let everyone think about it. I didn't graduate from a military academy, if it's called something like Lu Xiao Lianyihui or something else, it's still not good.

  Yang Xing nodded and said: You see, it's okay like this, let's just call it the Strong Country Association. Think about it, everyone, this time we went on an expedition to Tibet, what a magnificent feat! But the Northern Warlords sold out the country, and there were also obstacles in the rear, so our efforts ultimately came to nothing. So, one of the main purposes of our army is to strengthen the country. You see, it's okay like this, let's just call it the Strong Country Association.

  Later, on the issue of doctrine, opinions were even more divergent. In the end, Yang Xing simply supported national unity and opposed division. He supported the country's rights in Mongolia, Tibet, Northeast China, and Taiwan, and opposed all forms of concession as the purpose of a strong country.

  Only thus was further aggravation of the contradiction avoided.

  Then, after the election, Yin Changheng was elected as the president of Qiangguo Hui, Tao Zekun, Yang Xing, Wang Xianxu and Cheng Peng were elected as committee members. Considering that Yin Changheng, Tao Zekun and others had already gone to Beijing for work, Yang Xing was elected as a general affairs committee member.

  Wang Xiu, courtesy name Chai Ni, from Xichong, Sichuan, was a child prodigy who passed the imperial examination to become a juren. He later graduated from the second class of the Sichuan Army's accelerated training program and participated in the Railway Protection Movement and the Battle of **. When Zhao Erfeng, the original governor of Sichuan, launched a rebellion, Wang led his troops to follow Yin Changheng, the Grand Governor, and captured Zhao Erfeng, ensuring the success of **.

  Although Yang Xing was one year behind Wang Houxiao at the Accelerated Academy, they were both from Shunqing Prefecture and had known each other in military school, making them old acquaintances. Additionally, as a senior, he was immediately appointed as the team affairs committee member.

  Cheng Peng, an old soldier from Peng County in Sichuan Province, was a fellow townsman of Yin Changheng's grandfather. He was around 40 years old and originally served as the captain of the new army battalion in Sichuan. He was one of the earliest to lead his troops in joining the revolution. After the revolution succeeded, he fought in battles in both the south and north, and eventually rose through the ranks due to his military achievements to become the commander of a model regiment.

  Those loyal officers to Yin Changheng saw that this strong country would be led by Yin Changheng, and over the past few months, Yang Xing had been appearing in front of everyone as Yin Changheng's confidant. Moreover, the team delegates they recommended were all forces that supported Yin Changheng in the past, and they all expressed their support.

  Yang Xing then proposed that each regiment and brigade should develop members and promote the idea of a strong nation.

  After the establishment of the model regiment's party affairs leadership organization, based on later experience and the number of party members, it was decided to establish a party branch in each battalion and a party small group in each company.

  Finally, it was decided by each small group through each branch and party affairs person in charge of each small group.

  Thus, in the model regiments, a complete informal organization has been established.

  But what makes people feel uneasy is that only 3-4 members of the second camp participated, and its strength was very weak.

  After the re-establishment of various party agencies, everyone's morale was boosted. Immediately, a resolution was passed to ensure that the Alliance would maintain its absolute leadership over the Model Regiment and keep it stable, preventing possible splits.

  Finally, through resolute determination, some party organizational disciplines were decided upon, such as regular study sessions, regular discussion meetings, and obedience to the organization.

  After the organization was established, everyone was asked to mobilize all officers and soldiers to develop reserve members. Especially those middle and lower-level military officers who performed well as good fighters, thus ensuring the integrity and revolutionary nature of the entire team.

  After that, although there were occasional rumors of being won over by the Governor's Mansion, it was clear that they were resisted by the revolutionary soldiers. Those officers who were won over were also gradually isolated by the revolutionary soldiers.
