Considering the current situation in the Dazhushan base and Yimeng controlled area, as well as the comprehensive capabilities of several teams' command personnel, Zhao Zhenzhong decided to make major adjustments to the command personnel of each team.

On January 9, 1927, Zhao Zhenzhong issued a series of orders:

Order Liu Chengshan to replace Gu Haichuan to be responsible for the overall operation of the Dazhushan base;

Gu Haichuan, Li Yunhai, and Liu Haidong were transferred out of the Dazhushan base;

He transferred Jiang Yishan and Du Yishan to the Dazhushan base to be responsible for the newly formed base teaching brigade affairs, conducting recruit training and artillery training;

Zou Degui was transferred to replace Zhang Mingrui in charge of the affairs of the Yimeng Teaching Brigade, and Han Tiezhu assisted;

Tui Gu Haichuan took over the command of Du Yishan's troops, and formed a new regiment after replenishing troops;

Li Yunhai and Liu Haidong were transferred to replace Zou Degui's command, and after replenishing troops, they formed a new regiment, with Li Yunhai as the main and Liu Haidong as the auxiliary;

Zhang Mingrui was transferred to replace Jiang Yishan's troops and formed a new regiment after replenishing troops. The department was mainly responsible for the defense of the southern line;

Gu Haichuan's troops and Liu Jifeng's troops were ordered to change defenses, from Liu Jifeng's troops to the north to be responsible for the Yishan to Hanwang, and Gu Haichuan was responsible for the front line from Hanwang to Yaojiadianzi;

The former military and political study class was established as a permanent institution, responsible for rotating training of command personnel at the platoon and above of various departments of the Guard Army and the backbone of the rural working groups;

After the formation of each regiment and the personnel are adjusted, special courses will be held in the military and political study classes to conduct rotation training for the regiment-level command personnel of each department. Each study period will be two months;

After the newly formed regiments are completed, they must assist the rural working groups in the defense zones of each regiment to train militias and develop militia organizations in various rural areas in accordance with the "Outline for the Development of Militia Reserves" issued to each regiment.

In addition to the above-mentioned orders for personnel adjustment and arrangement, Zhao Zhenzhong further clarified the organization and equipment of each unit, battalion, regiment, and regiment. He clearly required that each command position be equipped with a dual position of chief and deputy position in order to lay the foundation for the further development of the guards in the future.

However, Zhao Zhenzhong himself knew that the expansion of the Guards this time was so large that the command positions at all levels would not be able to be assigned to the full position of chief and deputy positions in the short term. Not to mention anything else, at least the regiments now lacked suitable regiment chiefs and staff candidates. Moreover, the Guards Headquarters on his side were short of more personnel except for the personnel who could afford the staff role by himself and the few personnel in the Yang Tianming Reconnaissance Communications Brigade. Therefore, Zhao Zhenzhong did not make any time limit for the establishment of chief and deputy positions and the addition of auxiliary personnel.

This lack of relevant personnel can only be compensated as soon as possible by improving the level of command personnel of various departments and cultivating talents through military and political study classes. Everything must be done by yourself.

After the personnel adjustment order was issued, Zhao Zhenzhong deliberately asked the personnel transferred from his original position to talk to each other, especially Jiang Yishan, Zou Degui and Du Yishan who were transferred from the original troops.

"You have witnessed or participated in this confrontation of three levels of the company, battalion and regiment with your own eyes. You should also understand the gains and losses in your heart."

"For a long time, you three have basically just led the team to perform tasks or managed them on a daily basis. They are not familiar with the large number of new recruits and lack the experience of leading more than a thousand teams by themselves. Now we have transferred you three from the original army in the hope of making up for these aspects you lack and growing better in the future."

"Tell me what you three have any thoughts."

After hearing Zhao Zhenzhong's words, Jiang Yishan and the other two couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Jiang Yishan smiled and said, "I'll just say that the sir must have an intention to arrange this. It won't be to deal with us. Yishan has been uneasy during this period because he didn't fight well in the regiment-level confrontation, for fear that the sir will deal with him."

Du Yishan blushed and defended: "I didn't beat you well, so the sir should punish you. What I am afraid of is that the sir will not ask me if he is disappointed with me."

Zhao Zhenzhong was happy: "All of these old people, why are they still like children? Because my master and I took you in with us, and taught you to respectfully call me "Sir", don't forget that I am not as old as you are now."

"From the end of 1918 to now, we have been together for more than 8 years. It can be said that we are all good partners and good brothers who grow up together. Although I know more than you and see more far than you, I hope that we will not only grow up together, but also work together. Through our efforts, we can win the hope of the future."

"Now you are a little behind for a while, of course I will find a way to help you improve yourself. Unless you don't work hard or give up on yourself, I really can't do it. Otherwise, I hope that our partners who grow up together will not abandon or give up in the process of struggle! On the day when you win in the future, none of us can be missing!"

After hearing these deep feelings and sensational words from Zhao Zhenzhong, Jiang Yishan and the other two couldn't help but turn red in their eyes. Du Yishan even choked and said, "Thank you sir!"

Zhao Zhenzhong joked: "It's all manly, don't cry, otherwise, after going out from me, others would think I beat you up and cry. Besides, you call me "Mr.", wouldn't you betray your duty if I can't teach you well?"

"Also, Du Yishan did not play well in the regiment-level confrontation this time. In addition to not leading a team of more than 1,000 people before, it has a lot to do with the fact that the previous action was too smooth and the few exercises were not done. This time, it was a good thing to find your shortcomings through the confrontation drill. As long as you can make up for their own shortcomings through hard training in the future, that is progress and improvement."

"In fact, not only you three, through this regiment-level confrontation, we can find that in addition to Gu Haichuan, Zhang Mingrui, and Yang Tianming are pretty good, several of the other teams also have their own shortcomings. However, we are now seriously lacking in team leaders, especially those above the battalion. But we cannot transfer all the lack of personnel out of the team for training at once, so we have to take rotation. This time, you three are transferred out of the team, and it may be the other personnel's turn next time."

After listening to Zhao Zhenzhong's explanation, Jiang Yishan understood why he ranked fourth in the confrontation but was transferred out of the team, while others were ranked behind him but could continue to stay in the team.

After Jiang Yishan and the other two left, Zhao Zhenzhong asked Gu Haichuan, Zhang Mingrui, Yang Tianming, Liu Jifeng, Xu Chaoyuan, Liu Chengshan, Li Yunhai, and Liu Haidong to talk. He asked them to establish a new team and ensure the training and discipline of each group after forming a new team, and cooperate with the rural working group to carry out work in the rural areas of the garrison area.

In this conversation, Zhao Zhenzhong proposed the concept of "people" and emphasized that the purpose of the guards is "everything for the people".

"What is the people? Different historical conditions have different definitions. But in today's China, all individuals, groups or classes that oppose their own feudal and corrupt forces, and all those who oppose the invasion, oppression, seek national independence and national liberation, and do not collude with foreign forces to harm the interests of the country and nation, all belong to the category of the people."

"You may have questions: Isn't Sihai Industrial also jointly founded with foreigners? Yes! Sihai Industrial also does business with foreigners, but our cooperation is basically strictly limited to the scope of commercial cooperation. Not only does we not harm the interests of any country and nation, but we also maintain the treatment of workers as much as possible in Sihai Industrial. At the same time, we used Sihai Industrial's business income to purchase a large amount of grain, took in many orphans, and rescued a large number of disaster victims. We have a clear conscience! In addition, we also used Sihai Industrial, a brand that cooperated with foreigners to do business, which has well covered our current situation in the Dazhushan base and promoted the development of the Yimeng controlled area."

"But look at China today, the Fengtian faction in the north colluded with Japan; Feng Yuxiang's National Army colluded with the Soviet Union; the National Government in the south colluded with the Soviet Union. Which of them really wanted to do things for the people? Which one did not just shout slogans but betray the country, national interests and ignore the lives and death of the people?"

"Most of us are orphans. We have tasted enough of the sufferings imposed on us by officials, landlords, bullies, bandits, and rioters. We have formed our own team now. We must not turn ourselves around and oppress the people like those soldiers and bandits, but should be the most solid and reliable force to defend the interests of the people!"

Zhao Zhenzhong's conversation with Jiang Yishan, Gu Haichuan and others was later compiled into text by Zhang Mingrui, who is known as the "reporter", and mimeographed after Zhao Zhenzhong's verification and dissemination to various companies. It caused a strong response in various teams.

"Don't abandon! Don't give up!", "No one can be left behind!", "Everything is for the people!" and other words became familiar new terms for soldiers in various companies, further enhancing the group cohesion and centripetal force of the guards. After the publicity of some backbone forces of the rural working group, the saying "Everything is for the people" made the people and guards in the controlled area more considerate, and they really felt a deep feeling of affection. This result was unexpected by Zhao Zhenzhong, but he was happy to see it.

After half a month of busyness, by January 23, 1927, several six regiments, two teaching brigades, and one reconnaissance and communication brigade had all been formed, and the personnel adjustment and troops' defense were completed in accordance with Zhao Zhenzhong's order.

At the same time, Zhao Zhenzhong also announced a commendation for individuals who performed outstandingly in this confrontation exercise, as well as classes, platoons, companies, battalions and other units. The commendation content is not only spiritual but also material. In addition to adding one month's allowance to the awarded individual, the award will also be given priority to enter military and political study classes for training in order to improve their level; while the relevant awarded units will be given a month's allowance. This commendation action not only motivates the awarded units and individuals, but also stimulates units and individuals at all levels that have not won the award, causing a winter training boom in various teams.
