Chapter 16 The Seventeenth Division (Correction of Typos)

Duan Tiemin naturally understood Liu Jingxiao's meaning, and he immediately replied: "Teacher Liu is young and promising, how can he get rid of his armor and return to the field? If he doesn't return to the Hubei system and join in the grand ceremony?"

Of course, you also need to give some sweetness. He continued: "Teacher Jingxiao, how about I adapt your division into a Central Division?"

Since the Republic, the division has been regarded as a strategic unit, and the division units can be divided into two types. One is the Central Division, directly under the Army Department, and the central government is responsible for the supply. The treatment is better, and the equipment and combat power are also better than other divisions. The other is the provincial army, where each province is responsible for the supply, and the equipment combat power is inferior to that of the Central Division.

The numbers of the Central Regular Division are now ranked 28, and there are still several vacant numbers in the middle. In the early years of the Republic, General Chen retreated bravely, and the number of the Sixth Town disappeared on its own. In the battle of Silla, the First Division and the 11th Division fled before the battle. The performance was really unbearable. The Central Committee then ordered the revocation of the number and changed its troops to provincial troops. The entire army of the 12th Division was completely destroyed in the north of Mo, and the only one who stayed in the pass was left in the camp, and it was unable to rebuild. Although other divisions had been revoked, troops were basically replaced soon.

Of course, the number of the Central Division is not necessarily the real direct unit of the Central Division. The 9th Division, the founding capital of the Fengtian and Guangxi, although the number of the Central Division is the jewel of the local forces, it is extremely rare in history to directly revoke the Central Division. Generally, it is reduced to form a mixed brigade first. For Liu Jingxiao, after adapting it into the Central Division, not only can he get great benefits, but he also has a gold medal for avoiding death.

Therefore, Liu Jingxiao immediately asked excitedly: "Is the number 12th Division? Our school is the camp school of the 12th Division!"

Liu Jingxiao was born in the Zhuque Military Academy, and his foundation was the 12th Division's camp school. Therefore, Liu Jingxiao and all the cadres both claimed to be the descendants of the 12th Division. If they could get the number of the 12th Division, it would undoubtedly be a great incentive to the morale of the army.

But Duan Tiemin didn't want to send out the number of the 12th Division so happily. The 12th Division was one of the six towns that established the Republic. The main elite troops in the early years of the Republic were unable to rebuild Mobei, but this division was very well-known and could be said to be a very valuable number. Since the loss of Mobei in the twenty years of the Republic, this number has not been issued.

So he said, "My idea was originally the 12th Division, but President Feng disagreed, so he could only temporarily book the 17th Division?"

He secretly blackened Feng Li, not to mention that the history of the 17th Division is far inferior to that of the 12th Division. Liu Jingxiao knew that the number of the 17th Division appeared in the history of the Republic three times. The first 17th Division was compiled before Mu Tiehan's southern expedition. It was formerly the Second Mixed Brigade in Shandong. During the 1940s, the second southern expedition was lost with countless ships of the Second Fleet. The number of the 17th Division was issued half a year later and was adapted from the former Shaanxi First Division. The division was reduced to the 9th Mixed Brigade of the Central in the 60th year of the Republic due to mutiny.

The history of the Third Seventeenth Division is very embarrassing. This unit was predecessored by the First Division of the Anhui Army. It was promoted to the Central Division for its contribution to countering the rebellion. However, this division is the only Central Division in the history of the Republic to directly revoke the number.

In the 72nd year of the Republic of China, when the division was stationed in Hefei, it caused a farce of the biggest rape case in the history of the Republic. At that time, there was a Women's Silkworm School in Hefei. One day and night, more than ten soldiers of the division sneaked into the school, but three or four teachers and students were below the principal. The principal was sobbing that he was afraid that his reputation would be damaged. He repeatedly told the thieves not to speak out.

The so-called tolerance of the traitor is nothing more than this. A few days later, more than a hundred officers and soldiers of the 17th Division sneaked into the girls' school, causing unprecedented drama. More than ten teachers and students of the school committed suicide by jumping into the water, and public opinion was in an uproar.

Although the Anhui Governor repeatedly denied it, the student representatives from Beijing and Anhui Province pointed out that they sent a secret investigation team, and this matter was by no means fictitious. Please ask the government to replace the Anhui Governor and severely punish relevant persons to ensure the peace of millions of people in Anhui Province. People from Anhui Province outside also unanimously petitioned the central government to demand severe punishment of the murderer.

At that time, the Northern Government had the determination to supervise the heart but not the courage to supervise. Seeing that it was impossible to solve the problem, the students in Anhui Province could only carry a coffin and marched between the government courtyards, and finally cried before the members of the Congress. At that time, the direct-European Congress was fighting, and the government's budget was in trouble. The Prime Minister could only meet with the student representatives and said: "Although I have the idea of ​​supervise, Anhui is in turmoil and uneasy. Now even sending a governor to distribute his power. This is really sorry to the elders of Anhui Province... I am really sorry..."

The student representative said: "You can ask the Prime Minister whether our teachers and students are citizens of the Republic, and whether Anhui is a province of the Republic! The central government abandoned Anhui Province and ignored the people of Anhui Province. Please ask yourself that you are worthy of your conscience? Now is the responsible cabinet, please don't say sorry!"

Seeing that it could not be solved, some people were dancing in Jinshui Bridge to seek full tribute. Under the attack of public opinion, the cabinet could only announce the resignation of the general. The successor cabinet knew that it would not be able to explain to the people of the country if it did not solve this problem. It could only order Anhui to immediately change the supervision of the 17th Division to abolish the number, and the relevant responsible persons were handed over to the new Anhui governor for the main office.

This can be regarded as an unprecedented time before the Republic. Although the Anhui Governor refused to leave his post on the power, even the Anhui Provincial Parliament, which was originally under his control, publicly reacted to him and welcomed the new supervisor to take office. Even many officers of the Anhui Provincial Army said: "One place is a land and a place to support the other people. If you want to be in a conscience, please ask the Supervisor to leave his post!"

Duan Tiemin, Duan Shizhen and Feng Li, who were at the time, also led their troops to escort the new supervisor quickly. Afterwards, more than 300 related personnel were punished. Seven generals and officials from the supervisor were removed from office, and 45 were removed from office under the school officer, and 93 were sentenced to prison and 126 were executed.

After the number of the 17th Division was removed, everyone thought that the reputation of this number was too bad and had not been issued. Even if there were troops newly formed the Central Division, they would rather have a new division number than the number of the 17th Division.

Duan Tiemin gave the number of the 17th Division to Liu Jingxiao, which was naturally ridiculed. Liu Jingxiao was lustful and popular with monks and laymen, and was suitable for both young and old. Duan Tiemin had a high opinion of himself. He was from the Army Primary School, and then Lu Zhong, Baoding, and Lu Da were promoted step by step, and later served as the governor of Huguang. Naturally, he looked down on Liu Jingxiao, who was only from the Zhuque Military Academy.

But Liu Jingxiao is a pragmatist. He thinks that although the number of the 17th Division is a bit bad, it is a historical issue after all. As long as the management is done properly, there is no need to worry that the 17th Division will become a well-known signboard in the future. As long as you get the treatment of the Central Division, everything will be easy to talk about.

Facts proved that Liu Jingxiao's idea was good at all. After the number of the 17th Division was issued, although the officers and soldiers had criticized him, their voices could be low and slight, but they were proud of being able to become a central division.

After the Dingbian Army ended, although Liu Jingxiao's troops had a series of numbers, such as Zhang Buyun's "Second Detachment of Northeast Security Security" and the "Fourth Mixed Regiment of the Republic Army" after he joined Hubei, and even the "First Division of the Republic Hubei Army" issued by Wang Zichun, the officers and soldiers thought that these numbers were not loud enough, so they would rather call them the old sign: Dingbian Army. After the 17th Division was issued, the cadres gradually claimed to be: my 17th Division, and Bai Siwen's famous war history book "The History of the Dingbian Army" also wrote until the 17th Division entered Shandong (in fact, it was a series of his actions in Shandong, and many people knew about it. When he wrote the history of the Dingbian Army, most of the old Dingbian Army could not resist the charm of the annual rings and ascended away).

However, since Duan Tiemin threw out the dog bone, Liu Jingxiao couldn't help but scream. The public said that morning: I wish we met too late, and the guest and the host and the host would be happy!

However, Dog Bones are still eloquent, Duan Tiemin promised that he found his soul Xu Youzheng. This time, the secretary-general of the institute and deputy chief of the army immediately handled a report of the official documents.

The newly formed Central Division must be proposed by the Army Department and submitted to the cabinet for consent. Minister Cheng Yunpeng asked for leave to recuperate at home to avoid getting angry because he saw Director Xu's face every day. Therefore, Director Xu was acting as a ministry official. He was Duan's personal, so he must follow Duan's intentions. Then the Prime Minister asked the cabinet members to have a meeting.

Of course, the process of democratic voting still has to be followed, but most of the ministers in the cabinet are Premier Duan’s confidants. Of course, in order to accommodate the opposition, Premier Duan also gave up three ministers: the Minister of Industry and Commerce, the Minister of Agriculture and Forestry and the Minister of Education.

However, the three departments have always been deserted, and the owed wages of the department employees is a period of time. They have to make trouble several times a year, and those in the cabinet can be briefly ignored. Therefore, with the principle of democracy, the minority was forced to obey the majority in the end.

After the cabinet is approved, the General's Office will review it again. Of course, this is a vase. The Prime Minister nodded. After the cabinet is approved, the General's Office dares to say one: "No"?

Next, the last procedure was to be completed. It was already noon. Xu Youzheng had not eaten, so he took Liu Jingxiao into the presidential palace and shouted: "Where is the president? Where is the president?"

All the staff of the government dared not speak out, and finally someone advised him: "The President is taking a nap in the back!"

Xu Youzheng took Liu Jingxiao and broke into Feng Li's bedroom. Feng Li was lying on the bed and sleeping. Xu immediately walked forward and shook Feng's hand hard. Feng woke up soon, stretched and yawned. Xu Youzheng thought he was too slow and shouted: "Stamp! Stamp!"

President Feng came over immediately. He saw that it was Xu Youzheng, the plague god, who reflexively jumped out of bed. Without wearing a coat, he took out the president's seal from a drawer and prepared to cover it. However, before stamping, he asked again: "What official document does the hospital want to use to stamp it today?"

Xu Youzheng didn't give him a good look and immediately said coldly: "I'm busy. If I have to explain every official document to the president in detail, why can I still be busy?"

After stamping the seal, Xu Youzheng picked up the official document and turned around and left, without giving a gift to the president. Liu Jingxiao was very tactful. When he came in, he bowed to Feng Li, and before going out, he bowed to President Feng. Before leaving, he thought: No wonder the president has fought with Xu Youzheng to the end. It is thankful that the government can maintain such a disagreement between the people. If he were Feng Li, he would probably go back to Jiangsu immediately to be his supervisor and go happily.

After the number of the 17th Division was settled, Xu Youzheng and Duan Tiemin tried every means to win over Liu Jingxiao. Liu Jingxiao also said good things, because the matter was not finished yet, the supply of the Central Division's military supplies was under the jurisdiction of the Army Department, and they had to establish a good relationship with the deputy commander of the Army.

However, the only regret is that Liu Jingxiao's rank of colonel remained intact. The procedures for getting the general's title and being promoted to Lieutenant General were very complicated. Although the second half was a vase, the first half was very complicated. Because Liu Jingxiao sent the telegram against participating in the war, Duan Tiemin invalidated all the procedures that had been completed. Now he has to start over. There is no chance without a month.

Finally, everything was done. Liu Jingxiao didn't eat, so she rode a fast horse back to the Zhuque Military Academy with Guo Junqing.

When the Zhuque Military Academy approached, Liu Jingxiao and Guo Junqing both stopped their horses. At this time, the sunset was setting. Liu Jingxiao looked at the still simple rows of bungalows in the entire military school, and several teams of students were practicing under the sunset. There was no difference between him and when he left, he couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

He spent more than ten years since childhood. The endless past suddenly surged into his heart. Guo Junqing also felt the same. Both of them were very hungry, but when he thought of the time spent here, he felt nothing.

In the past two years of experience, I have never tasted the wind, frost, snow and rain. Although I have reached this position now, when I think back on the hardships, Liu Jingxiao still feels that although the world is big, this is the best place to accommodate.

When he thought of this, Liu Jingxiao's eyes were filled with endless tenderness and remained motionless, but just swept the scenery into his eyes.

Section Chief Xiong of the Military Horse Statistics Department, although he was very hungry when he saw this, he knew that he would never disturb Liu Jingxiao's interest now. He just carefully observed Liu Jingxiao's expression and suddenly found that although Liu Jingxiao's expression was as usual, his hands could not stop shaking.

It turned out that Liu Jingxiao's eyes suddenly fell on the restaurant next to a Suzaku. Xiong Xi observed carefully and found that there were three big words written on the sign of the restaurant: "Baiqiyuan!"

Liu Jingxiao suddenly patted Guo Junqing's hand and said, "Thirteen lives!"

Guo Junqing closed his eyes and replied for a long time: "My brother is there too!"

Liu Jingxiao also closed her eyes and said, "I'm sorry!"

Then, the two of them dismounted together and walked towards the Zhuque Military Academy. At the school gate, Yan Aoshuang was smiling and waiting for the two of them. The two walked to Yan Aoshuang, knelt down together, and said in unison: "Teacher!"

Liu Jingxiao thought to himself: Zhuque! I'm back again!
Chapter completed!
