赵倜与河南军事的近代化

The Warlord Zhao Ti in the Early Republic of China and Military Modernization of Henan

民国初年是中国军事由传统向近代转型的重要时期,河南督军赵倜采取多项措施,推进河南军事的近代化。他把清末河南的总兵和旧军改编为镇守使和河南陆军,组建宏威军、巡缉营等省属军队,从外引进毅军,扩充河南地方武装;大力整顿河南军工企业,改进河南武器的生产,用新式枪炮替换旧式武器,装备河南军队;继续推行清末以来的新式训练和新式军事教育,开办多所军校轮训官兵,提高军队的军事素养。上述举措,在一定程度上提高了河南军队的战斗力。赵倜督促所部尽力剿匪,起到了保境安民的作用。但因所用非人、军纪涣散以及性格缺陷,他没能使河南军队的战斗力达到更高的水准,在同冯玉祥的较量中落败。

The early years of the Republic of China was an important period that Chinese military transferred from the traditional period to the modern time. In the period, Zhao Ti, Military Governor of Henan, took measures to push forward the military modernization of Henan. He changed Zong Bing of Henan in the late Qing Dynasty and the old army into Zhen Shou Shi and Henan Army, and found Hong Wei Army and Xun Ji Ying in Henan, introduced Yi Aram to Henan, so as to strenthen the Henan local forces. And then he vigorously rectified military enterprises in Henan and improved the weapons production, making new type of guns to replace the old weapons for the forces; he continued to carry out the new training and the new military education which began in the late Qing Dy nasty to improve the army＇ s military accomplishment. Through these measures, Zhao Ti to a certain extent improved the battle effectiveness of Henan army, and urged his troops to try to suppress bandits. Therefore, the armies played a role in defending the local territory and protecting the people. But because of the shortcomings such as using bad men and the lax disciplines, he wasn＇ t able to make battle effectiveness of Henan army to a higher level, he was defeated by Feng Yuxiang in the contest .
