Chapter 247 The Pei Family
When the war in Bei'an County was progressing smoothly, Lin Hongfei also welcomed six old classmates from the military academy in Jiangdu County.
Previously, in order to use the power of the Pei family in Pingcheng County to wipe out the Pingcheng County militia, Lin Hongfei specially sent someone to send a letter to his junior brother Pei Zongze in the military academy, hoping that he could be a bridge.
At the same time, Lin Hongfei also wrote a few more words in the letter, meaning that if Pei Zongze had colleagues from Baoding Military Academy by his side, he could also bring them to Jiangdu, so that everyone could get together.
In the end, it was because of these few words that Lin Hongfei originally planned to invite Pei Zongze to Jiangdu County alone, but in the end six people came, two of them were from the 6th period, Pei Zongze and the other 5 were from the 4th period.
As for why these five people are willing to come to Jiangdu, the reason is very simple. They don't think they will have a future if they follow Lin Hongfei.
Everyone graduated from the military academy and entered the army.
But now, everyone is still hanging around the lieutenants and majors, and it is not bad to have two or three hundred brothers under his command.
But as for Lin Hongfei, he became a general and became the guardian of Jiangbei. It is said that he has taken charge of Lingzhong and Lingxi recently, and most of the military affairs of Lingnan Province are under Lin Hongfei's control.
Maybe even Lin Hongfei didn't realize that in the eyes of many people, he is already a big tree that can be attached to.
Lin Hongfei was also very familiar with the five people who came here. When he was in the military academy, he had a good relationship with them. Naturally, he would not reject these classmates who knew everything about them.
Moreover, the number of the new No.16 division under his command is 13000, which is just when the army is expanding and mid-level officers are needed. The arrival of these five people can be regarded as a solution to his urgent needs.
After chatting with everyone for a while, Lin Hongfei asked Li Kui to arrange accommodation for everyone, let them rest first, and go to Huixianlou to gather in the evening.
But not long after everyone left, Pei Zongze returned to Lin Hongfei's study.
Pei Zongze is a handsome young man with a thin body. He pays great attention to his personal appearance. His chin is always clean-shaven without a trace of stubble.
When the two met privately, there were not so many polite words. Lin Hongfei said bluntly:
"Zongze and Pingcheng County must be in my hands. For this purpose, I will not hesitate to raze the entire county to the ground."
"It's just that in this way, your Pei family is bound to suffer great losses."
"I'm still a person of friendship. You and I are classmates. I don't want to make you and my brother turn against each other because of this incident."
"So, I hope you can convince your uncle to cooperate with me in taking over Pingcheng County."
"Afterwards, I will ensure that the interests of the Pei family in Pingcheng County remain unchanged. Your uncle can continue to serve as the county magistrate, but not the magistrate of Pingcheng County, but the magistrate of Bei'an County."
"This, I hope you can understand."
After hearing Lin Hongfei's blunt words, Pei Zongze was not angry, and even had a hint of gratitude.
After all, before entering the county, Huo Yunshan took Pei Zongze and others to visit the Jiangdu barracks. Pei Zongze had a very intuitive understanding of the strength of the newly created No. 16 division.
More than 1000 soldiers from the [-]th Division are enough to sweep across the entire Pingcheng County. Neither the Pei family nor the militia commander Chen Ze can stop them at all.
Therefore, Lin Hongfei was able to discuss this matter with himself in advance, which is already a high hand to the Pei family.
Even, Pei Zongze believed that if he was not from the Pei family but from Bei'an County, the one who was attacked by the Sixteenth Division at this time might be Pingcheng County.
Therefore, without any hesitation, Pei Zongze nodded immediately and said: "Senior, don't worry, my uncle is not a pedantic person, he knows the pros and cons."
"I'll make a promise to you here too. From now on, the entire Pei family will obey your orders, senior!"
Pei Zongze can be regarded as one of the few outstanding children of the Pei family, and his uncle Pei Feng even regarded himself, his own nephew, as the successor who will carry the banner of the Pei family in the future.
Therefore, Pei Zongze's oath is not exaggerated or groundless.
Lin Hongfei nodded with satisfaction: "Very well, you can agree, which means that you have not forgotten the friendship between our brothers."
Speaking of this, Lin Hongfei stood up and patted Pei Zongze on the shoulder: "Zongze, from now on, you are the commander of the fifth battalion of the third regiment of the first brigade of my new No. 16 division, with the rank of lieutenant colonel!"
"I'm new here, so it's inconvenient for me to promote you to a higher position."
"But don't worry, I will promote you as the head of the Eighth Regiment as soon as the matter in Pingcheng County is settled!"
"Teng!"
Pei Zongze immediately stood up, with a somewhat excited expression, saluted Lin Hongfei and said, "Thank you, senior, for your promotion, Zongze!"
"From now on, the entire Pei family will do their best to assist the seniors in establishing their foundation in Lingnan Province!"
Pei Zongze did not stay in Jiangdu County for too long. Two days later, he and Wang Deming, who was Lin Hongfei's special envoy, went to Pingcheng County to discuss the matter of getting rid of Chen Ze, the commander of the militia.
The other five military school students stayed in Jiangdu County, and their family members will be picked up by Lin Hongfei.
Because the newly created No.16 Division is at a critical juncture of military expansion, there is a great demand for grassroots officers.
Therefore, Lin Hongfei deliberately reorganized the original independent regiment teaching brigade into the Jiangbei Lecture Hall, and he served as the principal of the lecture hall.
In addition to being appointed as the battalion commander by Lin Hongfei, these five students who had received regular military school education were also sent by him to the martial arts hall as instructors to urgently train a group of professional grassroots officers for Lin Hongfei.
At this time, Lin Hongfei's affairs were proceeding in an orderly manner, including the direct troops of Hubei Province on the opposite side of the Yangtze River. They had been afraid of the two armored ships on the river, and did not cross the river to attack the Jiangbei area.
It was at this time that war between Zhili and Anhui finally broke out in Zhili and the suburbs of Beijing. At the same time, the Feng army, which had formed an alliance with Zhili, also suppressed the border from the army, passed through Shanhaiguan, and approached the capital and Jinmen.
During this period, everyone is predicting the final direction of the war, and some people even think that the battle will take at least one or two years before the outcome can be determined.
However, it is not known whether the Anhui family is too weak or the Zhifeng family is too strong.
Or, both sides in the war are already stinky chess baskets, and it depends on who is more stinky.
In short, the victory and defeat came too fast like a tornado, which many people did not expect.
In less than two weeks, the Anhui army was defeated by the Zhifeng coalition forces. As the nominal head of state, President Xu Da issued a truce order, requiring all ministries to stop attacking and maintain the current line of defense.
At the same time, Marshal Duan, the leader of the Anhui faction, also energized and went to the field. Many generals of the Anhui faction left the army and fled to the concession and abroad to avoid punishment.
The Zhifeng and Bong armies also sent vanguard troops to take over the defense of the capital, effectively controlling the supreme authority of the country.
At this time, many key positions occupied by members of the Anhui Clan were greedily targeted by the Zhifeng and Feng families like pieces of fat.
Among them, the Governor of Lingnan Province and the Jiangbei Guardian Envoy who governed the three districts were naturally included!
