Compared with other warlord troops, Zhao Dong Yunshoudi troops are in peacetime, and Zhao Dongyun has always insisted on continuing to pay full salaries in order to build elite soldiers, which has undoubtedly caused great financial burden to the three northeastern provinces.
In this case, Zhao Dongyun also had to consider lowering the pay standard!
"You remember that the food and meals of the noncommissioned officers and soldiers in the future, regardless of peace or wartime, will be borne by the Ministry of Military Supplies, and soldiers’ salaries will no longer be deducted!" Zhao Dongyun considered Zhao Dongping and continued, "The officer will still bear it himself!"
"In the future, all soldiers will be sent to the’ Feng Yuan’. It is tentatively set at four yuan for the second class and five yuan for the first class. This amount will not be deducted!" Zhao Dongyun continued, "All officers will be issued according to the existing standards!"
Zhao Dongyun said that Zhao Dongping was worried when he listened to it at these times. "Now I’m afraid there will be trouble!"
Zhao Dongyun is unpreparedness. "If you don’t want to, directly order the retired troublemakers to be shot on the spot!"
Zhao Dong Cloud actually doesn’t matter whether the soldiers at the bottom will stay or stay in this era, even if he doesn’t pay a dime, but it’s better to say that a lot of peasant brothers will come to join the army from martial arts, or you, Duan Qirui and the Confederacy, don’t pay much, but why are there so many people who come to enlist as soldiers? Because soldiers can eat enough these days, well, it’s better than ordinary small landlords under normal circumstances.
These days, there are more rural brothers who want to be soldiers. If they give Zhao Dongyun two months, he will be able to train tens of thousands of cheap cannon fodder soldiers.
Chapter two hundred and forty-two The rise of Duan Qirui
As for the officers, they have left the lower ranks of the big soldiers. They don’t just care about a few dozen taels of silver. They want a better development prospect. Simply put, they want to be promoted and get rich. Those officers know that reducing salary is to expand the army, and when the army is large, there will be more vacancies before they can be promoted.
Since the army’s salary has been reduced, Zhao Dongyun is also planning to put a pressure on the civilian corps that has always been paid high salaries. Many administrative officials in the three northeastern provinces sell millions of dollars a year. It is estimated that hundreds of thousands can be squeezed out by this squeeze. On the one hand, it is not as obvious as the direct reduction of military salaries as in the army. Because the civilian salary mainly depends on bonuses, this thing can float, and reducing the bonus amount will be able to significantly reduce the salary of administrative officials.
The salary of Zhao Dongyun’s staff is mainly due to the fact that in recent years, the big head of the army is still the salary, especially in peacetime. The salary of a division is more than 3 million yuan per year. The normal replacement and training of equipment are far from that. Of course, when fighting, we have to say that the biggest expenditure in wartime is ammunition, especially artillery shells. If you shoot two thousand silver shells, you are embarrassed to say that this is a regiment-scale shelling.
"In addition, you should also pay close attention to the changing workers in the patrol force over there! I have ordered the Ministry of Education to carry out in-depth downsizing of the existing patrol corps. In addition, the Civil Service Department has arranged for many active army officers to join the patrol corps. I don’t want the patrol corps to be completely new and equipped with those old rifles! "
Zhao Dongping remembered Zhao Dongyun’s words in his heart and thought, "This is even to build the patrol force as a field force!"
Unlike Zhao Dongping, Zhao Dongyun did not think of the patrol troops as field troops. Although the patrol troops and rifles have been replaced one after another, the habits of the old army are still very strong, and there is no regular army field troops.
This army doesn’t just pull a young man with a new rifle!
More importantly, it has been many years since various trainings and high-quality officers fought against the sky with a large number of heavy weapons!
In the future, these patrolmen will be able to fight thugs in the field army, and it will be good for them to stabilize the situation in the three northeastern provinces when they lead their own troops into the country. In the war, they have to rely on the new field army.
In order to further accelerate the pace of military expansion, Zhao Dongyun was slightly dissatisfied with the speed of the first division of the Army in the three northeastern provinces. In mid-May, Zhao Dongyun announced that he would allocate 300,000 yuan to the Ministry for special army building.
At the end of May, Zhao Dongyun ordered the military to build two HunChengLv again, and squeezed out 200,000 yuan from the administration office of the political academy, transferred 300,000 yuan from the Fengtian Mint Bureau and Fengtian Bank, and transferred 200,000 yuan from the Huludao sea tax. The special project of the government was prepared by 300,000 yuan, totaling 1 million yuan, and was awarded the title of "The First HunChengLv of the Northeast Army" and "The Second HunChengLv of the Northeast Army"
Of course, it is actually impossible to build a new division and two mixed brigades only by relying on the talks. The shortage is still relatively large, but the military has freed up more than one million yuan since the salary reduction. This is the real solution to the problem of preparing for the establishment of three troops.
From May to June, Zhao Dongyun suppressed the previous months, stubbornly accelerated despite the financial difficulties, and stepped up the pace of military expansion, which made many people feel unusual.
You know, Zhao Dongyun’s military expansion is not just about the government and the military. He also took out 600,000 "special classics for visiting the government" from his own pocket.
What is the special classics of visiting the embassy? The money from the former financial institutions of the three northeastern provinces was allocated by the Finance Bureau and dominated by the secret office of the patrol embassy, mainly in Zhao Dongyun’s life and office.
However, as we all know, Zhao Dongyun himself is a multimillionaire, and his daily life is also expensive. Fang Ruolian and Li Wan, the two wives, have little concept of money in luxury. Fang Ruolian often spends money like water. At the end of last year, she went to the sea to visit Fangjia. When she lived in the sea for a month, she spent more than 20,000 taels of silver.
Li Wan seems to be a petty bourgeoisie, which will give people an influence that they don’t like to spend money indiscriminately. However, to be a petty bourgeoisie in 1997, they have to be out of line. This is not possible without money. She thinks it’s Paris perfume, Paris dressing, Paris wearing shoes, and Paris. Even drinking coffee and crystal cups are imported from Paris. I like strawberry cakes, so the government specially hired an Italian chef. This petty bourgeoisie girl’s daily expenses are more like lotus.
Well, just like the later generations’ not the goddess of beauty’ piled up by money, petty bourgeoisie women also piled up with money these days, and they can’t afford to play petty bourgeoisie if they are not rich.
Although there are not many people in Zhao Dongyun’s family in this house, the daily expenses are extremely amazing. Every year, Zhao Dongyun also knows that his own expenses are relatively large, and he is not bad at money, so he will let the Finance Bureau allocate 100,000 yuan every year. The extra is his own cushion.
However, now that Zhao Dongyun has expanded his army, he has taken out a total of 600,000 yuan for two consecutive tours. Everyone knows that Zhao Dongyun personally paid for this money.
It’s not easy for Zhao Dongyun to take out the money. Although he is worth a lot, most of them are shares of Fuyuan Company. These shares are fixed assets. He can adjust the activity funds without adding half a year to Fuyuan Company’s support. Zhao Dongyun bought millions of bonds, which seriously squeezed the liquidity of Fuyuan Company.
Now, after taking out 600,000 yuan, it is difficult for Zhao Dong Cloud to spend much money on the army in the short term.
To some extent, the so-called value of tens of millions is just an empty head, because most of the money is fixed assets, so it can’t be spent.
When Zhao Dongyun raised funds everywhere to expand the army, the contradiction between Wang Yingkai and Duan Qirui became more apparent. In mid-May, Wang Yingkai announced the establishment of the third army, which was under the jurisdiction of Zhang Huaizhi Fifth Division and Jiang Guiti Sixth Huncheng Brigade, with Zhang Huaizhi as the commander of the third army. This was tantamount to directly splitting Duan Qirui’s first army into two.
For Wang Yingkai, Duan Qirui was biting his teeth and swallowing his stomach, and then he sent his own troops to cross the Yangtze River from Dangtu. At this time, several warships were left in Nanjing, and when the Southern Federation reacted, the fourth division of Duan Qirui’s main force had already crossed the Yangtze River
At the beginning of June, Duan Qirui personally led the Fourth Division’s Fourth Division’s Supplementary Brigade to cross the Yangtze River and then advanced eastward to Nanjing. On the other hand, Duan Qirui, the North Shore of Nanjing, had been the second Huncheng Brigade of the Second Division of the Third Division, and joined two Huncheng Brigade of the Liangjiang Army to launch a containment attack on the Nanjing Southern Union Army.
After crossing the Yangtze River, Duan Qirui personally led more than 20,000 people to storm in the direction of the south bank of Nanjing. Only two days later, the vanguard troops of the Fourth Division of Duan Qirui had arrived outside Nanjing. Later, the Fourth Division, the Second Hunchenglv and the Fourth Division Supplementary Brigade of Duan Qirui Huidi just formed, and it was not long before the First Hunchenglv and the Second Hunchenglv of Liangjiang Army stormed Nanjing.
On June 6th, the northern shore of Nanjing was conquered by the second Hunchenglv, and the terminal fled from Nanjing to Zhenjiang in the night.
As soon as Duan Fang left, Yin Chang, who was in charge of the actual war, could no longer control the remaining federal troops in Nanjing. The next day, several units collapsed, and Yin Chang was forced to lead twenty thousand remnants to escape from Nanjing and run all the way to Zhenjiang.
However, on the way to the evacuation, there was a remnant army music, and 4,000 people were chased by Duan Qirui Hui cavalry detachment, and the fourth division cavalry regiment of Duan Qirui Hui cavalry detachment was forced to get a battalion from the fifth division of Zhang Huaizhi, and the fourth division supplementary brigade and a cavalry battalion. Although the total strength is not as good as Zhao Dongyun’s two cavalry brigades, there are more than 1,600 riders, especially in the southern region.
After chasing more than 4,000 routed troops, the cavalry of the Ministry completely defeated the Ministry again and even captured more than 2,000 people.
Duan Qirui finally rode his war horse into Nanking on June 12th!
Looking at Duan Qirui, Nanjing, which still smells like heavy smoke, I feel a lot about conquering this city. He has paid too much to seize this south of the Yangtze River. Not only has he endured a lot of repression brought by Wang Yingjie, but he has also conquered Nanjing quickly, so that the Nanjing campaign will not become as long as the Wuhan campaign. No, he has no scruples about casualties and launched a storm attack. Several troops in Nanjing have suffered a lot of losses. However, two infantry battalions in the fourth division of his main force have been disabled.
However, it was Duan Qirui’s reckless onslaught that made it difficult for Duanfang and Yinchang to succeed the Confederate army. Although it far surpassed the first army in Duan Qirui, the firepower and morale of the officers on both sides were very different. It is not surprising to see that the fourth division was as fierce as a tiger.

Some people may say that Tatar archery can definitely be shot at a distance of 20 meters, so they don’t worry about their hard work to form a longbow platoon, which was shot by Tatar archers.
Otherwise, an arrow in this densely forested mountain will often lose its power due to various obstacles when it is shot less than 10 meters. No matter how good the archery is, it will not threaten to hide in the middle of the dense forest.
Someone wants to ask again, since the Tatar archers can’t threaten the Wei Zheng Hui long archer, isn’t the Wei Zheng Hui long archer also unable to threaten the mountain road Tatar?
If anyone has such an idea, it proves that this person has made an empirical mistake again.
The rugged path of Tartars is far denser than the deep forest because of the long-term destruction of the surrounding forests, which can be shaped by the word "sparse"
Shooting an arrow from the jungle can easily fly 20 meters before encountering obstacles, while shooting an arrow from the outside into the jungle often flies more than 10 meters, and its power will be slowly unloaded by various obstacles.
Unless there are powerful archers among the Tatars, they can shoot arrows with great power, and they can easily penetrate all kinds of obstacles without losing their power. Of course, this is obviously impossible for a Tatar army with only 20 people
Fifteen meters, Wei Zheng finally moved when his hands trembled slightly and his forehead was dripping with sweat in the biting cold wind.
When the arrows flew to a Tatar armored soldier with a slight break, Wei Zheng shouted at the side, "Longbow platoon, all troops are ready to retreat."
"Swish swish …"
After more than a dozen arrows flew out of the dense forest, they responded quickly. Wei Wei has given his longbow a second arrow.
Aim at an armored soldier who is preparing to hide and shoot an arrow. Then, regardless of the results, he will withdraw to the position of the long-sought-after place with a long bow in his hand.
Sixteen long archers, including Wei Zheng, easily retreated into the jungle and were suddenly attacked, but they were furious in situ.
In a round of arrow rain, two arrows were shot by Wei Zheng in succession, and two Tatar armour soldiers were directly killed by arrows on the spot.
Although his fifteen arrows have no aim, even if a blind cat kills them at a distance of 15 meters, two Tatars lose their combat effectiveness because of the arrow, and one Tatar is injured in the arm.
Looking at the body of the warrior and the wounded, I quickly thought about what I should do.
Let go of these bandits and continue to search for the rear main force. The morale of the warriors will be greatly affected. Not only that, but I just fled a dozen bandits and I don’t know where I will continue to attack myself.
After all, Lin is too dense here, and it is impossible to be cautious.
Ma leads the department to pursue the escaped bandits, and it is possible that he can’t complete Niu Lu Zhang Jing and give it to himself for search.
When Niulu Zhangjing looked hard, an armored soldier reported directly to dispel the concerns in his heart.
"The report shows that although there are more than a dozen archers, there are at most two qualified archers, and his archers are untrained."
"If we make up our minds to hunt down the warriors, we can destroy all the Han bandits who dare to sneak up on us at the latest, and take revenge on the warriors who died."
Killing the sneak attacker when you burn incense will not only affect your role as a striker, but also add some meritorious military service to yourself and restore the morale of the warriors.
What’s the joy of such a good thing?
In the face of the remaining 20 warriors, they looked at their eager eyes and decisively ordered, "All the wounded warriors stay and watch the horses. The remaining warriors will pursue with me and destroy the bandits who dare to sneak up on us."
Chapter 10 Kill Tartars again
Twenty Manchurian Tatars were armed with bows and arrows, broadswords and even a mace weighing dozens of kilograms.
The wagging commander shouted that everyone couldn’t understand Manchu and rushed into the jungle.
However, when twenty tartars really rushed into the jungle, they found that things were not as simple as they thought.
In this era, the forest is not a towering tree that can only be folded by two people because no one destroys and picks it on a large scale.
Plus, all kinds of trees are too dense. At first glance, the field of vision is the trunk, and at most, the scene ten meters away is blocked by the thick and dense trunk after ten meters.
Twenty tartars rushed into the dense forest and came into view. There was not even a trace of a Han bandit except a thick trunk.
"Bastard cunning han Chinese will sneak attack have the courage to come out and manchu warriors for decisive battle …"
Didn’t find a Han figure tartar pendulum teeth la directly to hand broadsword severely cut to the bushes around to vent their anger and roared at the sight of a dense forest.
Perhaps it was in response to his scolding and cursing that the Tatar had not stopped, and a slight roar came to the Tatar and shook his teeth.
Looking in the direction of the sound source, a bandit with a long bow is quickly hiding behind the tree with a mocking smile on himself and continuing to flee to the depths of the jungle.
Because this movement happened too fast, the archer in front of him was already hit by an arrow, and then he fell heavily in front of himself after he reacted with his teeth.
The archer directly attacked the Han people with an arrow in front of him, but one of them was suspected to be a humiliation and provocation to the Tatars.
Staring at a pair of broadsword with red eyes, the young trees with a wrist thickness will be divided into two before, and then they will still be in the middle of becoming speechless and growled behind them.
"Bastard cunning han Chinese I must kill you …"
"Warriors cunning han Chinese just ahead I ordered your horse to pursue and kill them all …"
With great anger, Tartars are like angry leopards desperate to keep track of Weizheng all the way.
When the towering trees in the forest became more and more dense, nineteen Tatars lost their pursuit targets again and prepared to search separately. When Wei Zheng shot a fourth arrow, it hit a Tatar archer again.
More than a dozen Tatars who have been provoked by Wei Zheng have not heard the command of wagging their teeth and chasing them, and they are all chasing them in the direction of feather arrows.
The accident happened when Tatar lost another archer.
The dense forest around Dalai has become sparse. Not only that, but twenty bandits armed with pike suddenly appeared in a row ten meters away, waiting for their arrival.
"What are these Han people going to do? Do they want to defeat the invincible warriors in the field …"
This is Tatar’s first thought after seeing the present situation.
However, as soon as the idea came to mind, Ma was denied by himself, because everyone in the world knew that Manchuria Warriors were enemies in the field …
"Since the other side is not fighting a field battle with itself, what is the plot and purpose of the other side posing such a pike array?"
When Yaola stopped to think about it, an armored soldier was full of arrogance and quickly dispelled the last worry in Yaola’s heart.
"Warriors, since the Han people want to die here, we will become them and kill all the Han people. Their heads will pay homage to our warriors who died."
"Kill all the Han people …"
A dozen Dalai, who had long been carried away by anger, rushed to the pike array in desperation, wearing two layers of real armor and swinging their teeth, and had to wave their broadswords and rush to the pike array with the warriors.
If in peacetime, when more than a dozen Manchu warriors rush into the Han army a few meters away, the powerful murderous look of the Tatars threatens to block everyone, and the Han army will definitely collapse. Waiting for the Manchu warriors is to take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill the Han army.
Just a dozen Tatars waved their weapons and shouted as much as possible, waiting for the Han people to collapse in front of them. An accident happened.
Twenty long sought-after pike array not only didn’t collapse, but also leveled their pike in the previous step.
Suddenly, ten spears with dense cold light were lined up in front of Tatar.
A bad feeling quickly hit the Dalai Lama’s heart.
However, the Ministry has already rushed here, and the situation can continue to be rushed.
Because once you retreat, everyone’s back will remain exposed, and the other party’s long-sought-after face will be bloodied by the other party’s long-sought-after face.
Get up the courage to the side also produce a dignified big command, "the warriors Han Chinese are empty, and their pike array can’t stand us rushing to defeat them and kill all Han Chinese."
With his double armor, he quickly rushed to the front.
As his distance from the other pike array is getting closer and closer, he swings his broadsword faster and faster.
Dozens of pounds of major knives easily block the pike facing your chest and then swing your teeth to raise the broadsword in your hand again.
Waiting for yourself to rush forward one meter away, you will severely cut the broadsword into the long sought-after neck in front of you.
However, as far as the target is concerned, it is getting closer and closer, and a sneer slowly emerges to the face. When a crisp pike penetrates the armor, it suddenly reaches the ear, and then an unprecedented tingling sensation quickly attacks from both sides.
