Back to the Republic of China as a commander

Wang Zhenyu, who was very vigilant, immediately pulled out his portable pistol from under his pillow, and then jumped out of bed.Putting the clothes on his body, he rushed into the brigade headquarters not far away with the guards guarding outside the house.The officer on duty at the brigade headquarters tonight is Tao Zhiyue, commander of the first battalion and company. When Wang Zhenyu trotted into the brigade headquarters, he had very decisively ordered the first battalion and company, which was in charge of patrolling tonight, to enter a state of combat alert. The command.Wang Zhenyu was very satisfied with Tao Zhiyue's emergency response. In his opinion, only officers who can be calm in times of crisis are real generals.

The gunshots became more and more intense, obviously beyond the scope of misfires.The officers and soldiers of the Ninth Brigade who were ordered to assemble looked at each other. This is Nanjing, hundreds of kilometers away from the front line, and it has been suspended for several months. How could they shoot?So what happened?

At this time, someone came to the left-behind mansion. The visitor rode a horse and held a military order and shouted at the door: "A part of the Jiangxi army is making trouble in Sanpailou. According to the military order of the garrison headquarters, your department is specially dispatched to arrest it."

Wang Zhenyu immediately ordered the people to be let in. After checking that the military order was correct, he hesitated a little. After all, this was the first time he encountered mutiny, and he had little experience.However, considering that the Nanjing Mutiny was not mentioned in the history textbooks, and presumably there was no big movement, then there is nothing to worry about, just follow the order to quell the chaos.

"Tao Zhiyue"

"arrive"

"Order Zhao Dongsheng to assemble the teaching team immediately, order Xu Yuanquan to assemble the first battalion immediately, and follow the brigade commander to quell the chaos. Tell Ma Xicheng to drag me out with two grenades, and if the situation is complicated, he will be killed directly. Those who help the rebels have nothing to say politely."

"Yes"

. . . . . .

After listening to the brigade commander's passionate speech during the day, Li Zongren couldn't fall asleep for a long time. He was trying to talk to Bai Chongxi who was in the lower berth, when he heard a burst of gunshots.They were no recruits anymore. Just from the sound, it could be deduced that the place where the shot was fired was still a little far away from him.

Not long after, the lights in the dormitory were turned on, and the team leader Song Haomin rushed in, shouting loudly in a slightly immature voice: "All gather, act urgently..."

Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi quickly got dressed and stood in the queue with their weapons in hand. More than 90 people from the teaching team and more than 300 people from the first battalion had all assembled.And Ma Xicheng brought over dozens of wooden boxes with the people from the military supply department, opened them and saw, wow, they were all grenades.The second battalion used to know how to play this thing, but the newly joined Guangxi soldiers only knew the principle and threw fake ammunition, but it was useless to throw live ammunition once.

Zhao Dongsheng looked at the tense and dazed looks of these Guangxi student soldiers under his command, and it was rare for him to make a joke. He said loudly: "What are you looking at, don't tell me that you have never seen exactly the same guy in training. You little brats, let me listen Well, the order from the Nanjing Garrison Headquarters said that some of the Jiangxi army had rebelled, and we were ordered to counter the rebellion. If there are too many people on the other side, you can throw this thing, but when you throw it, be careful and spot the person , don’t blow yourself up, just touch your crotch and the thing in your crotch will be gone, if you don’t die, you can only be sent to Beijing to be a eunuch for the Tartar Emperor, hahaha!”

Everyone was overjoyed, and the tension was relieved a lot immediately.Wang Zhenyu has recently begun to consciously use civilized language, and he seldom talks about Lao Tzu, but Zhao Dongsheng has a lot of words, and he learns them all, showing a posture of not being ashamed but proud.

"Zhao Dongsheng, what nonsense are you talking about? Have you finished gathering yet?" Wang Zhenyu's angry shout was heard from a distance.

Zhao Dongsheng shrank his neck immediately, and said in a friendly voice, "Report to the brigade commander, the assembly is over."

Wang Zhenyu shouted: "Let's go, Tiger Brigade, fight the enemy bravely."

The last seven words later became the battle mobilization slogan of the Tiger Brigade.

According to Wang Zhenyu's order, the teaching team was used as the vanguard of the first battalion and walked at the forefront of the team.Song Haomin's first team was at the forefront of the teaching team.The units of the Ninth Brigade may be the most well-trained in the Nanjing People's Army. They were the first to arrive at Taipingqiao, where the military chaos occurred; Li Zongren and other five people, as the vanguard of the first unit, arrived in the Taipingqiao area in a group.From a distance, the Jiangxi rebels were looting, and even started to burn shops in an organized way.

Speaking of which, good or bad people are just a matter of thought. Just a few months ago, these rebels were the heroes of the whole country and the hope of the nation.Bearing the great trust of all the people in the world, he bravely challenged the decadent Qing Dynasty with his own blood.

What a glory that is, but unfortunately the reality after the glory is even crueler.

No food, no drink, no military pay, not even the uniforms for the winter.Many people stuffed straw into their autumn clothes and spent the damn winter snuggled up next to each other.

The winter in the south is more difficult than in the north. No matter how cold it is in the north, everyone can hide in the kang, but in the south, the indoors and outdoors are the same. Therefore, there is a joke that the southerners are more cold-tolerant than the northerners. It is not unfounded.

No matter how high the revolutionary enthusiasm is, it can't match the empty belly, and soon these militias have undergone qualitative changes through the accumulation of quantitative changes.They started to make trouble and toss. Huang Xing, who stayed behind, really couldn't come up with a big brother. In desperation, Huang Xing did something that the people of Nanjing hated. He actually let these militiamen raise their own wages on the spot.

This matter was very common in the period of the Republic of China, such as the defense zone system in Sichuan and the defense zone system during the revolutionary government of Guangdong.This system has been criticized in history and is considered to be the root of the warlord system.But at the time, it was an impossible solution.

The merchants were miserable by these soldiers, but even so, the militiamen were still hungry and cold all night.The reason is simple, there are too many people in the militia.

The grandsons of the Gan army can be said to be the hardest among them. The defense zone they were assigned happened to be the least lucrative, but the number of people was not the smallest.In this way, conflicts arise. The Gan army won't receive much protection money, so life is naturally not much better?

Some military officers thought together that instead of collecting protection fees piecemeal, it would be better to grab one and take the team back to Jiangxi while taking advantage of the chaos.

As a result, the teacher of benevolence and righteousness turned into a bandit overnight, all of which were caused by money. . .

In a shop not too far from Li Zongren and others, the owner of this shop was killed by the Jiangxi rebels in order to protect his daughter from the rebellion of the Jiangxi rebels; but his death was not meaningless. The rebels who were about to find a girl to get angry suddenly lost interest in doing things.At the urging of the officer, they ignored the deceased's wife and daughter and continued their efforts to find everything of value in the house.The deceased's wife and daughter hugged each other in horror, hid in the corner of the bed, and looked at this group of rebels who had lost their humanity and conscience with angry eyes.

The sound of beating, cursing, screaming, and begging for mercy came from this area from time to time.

It is hard to imagine that these rebels were still revolutionary soldiers a few hours ago.

When the soldiers start to oppress the common people, when the soldiers start to override the society, they are no longer soldiers, but a group of armed thugs, and the only way to wait for their end is to be wiped out and judged. This is Wang Zhenyu’s opinion Fundamental perspectives on military legitimacy. . .

Withdrawing his angry gaze, Li Zongren calmly touched the grenade inserted into the armed belt, and then issued the first command: "Squad of sharp knives, prepare to attack."

When Yu Zuobai heard this, he was stunned for a moment: "Squad leader, the situation of the enemy on the other side is unknown, should we wait for the big troops?"

Before Li Zongren could speak, Bai Chongxi glanced at Yu Zuobai: "I know you are afraid of death, you think Brother Delin is stupid. You look carefully at the Gan army on the opposite side, they are all burning houses and looting, and there is no organization at all." .As long as we kill them, they will definitely collapse. What are you afraid of? Coward."

The red-faced Yu Zuobai pushed back excitedly: "You, you are afraid of death."

Bai Chongxi laughed: "Then you are not afraid of death, you go first."

"Go up first, go up first!" Yu Zuobai roared and rushed out with a rifle in his hand, which shocked Bai Chongxi.

"Jiansheng" Li Zongren turned his head and glared at Bai Chongxi. Seeing that the other party stuck out his tongue cutely, he could only shake his head helplessly, and then shouted, "Everyone is there, throw a grenade."

At this time, Yu Zuobai, who rushed out first, had already shot over two rebels who were confused about the situation, and the number of rebels in the Jiangxi army was quite large, more than 800 people.Suddenly seeing someone shooting at them and knocking down the two brothers, not only did they not feel scared, but they became even more violent.Under the yelling of their respective officers, the rebels put away the looted property and picked up the things in their hands, preparing to resist with force.

Immediately, hundreds of rebels rushed towards Yu Zuobai's firing direction, but before they could get close, they saw four or five black things flying over from the opposite side.Before the rebellious army understood the situation, these dark things exploded in the crowd of the rebellious army.

"Bomb team?" Dozens of people from the Gan army were blown up on the spot, and the people behind who were not bombed immediately came to a very terrifying conclusion.We must know that in history, what the Qing army feared most was the bomb squad of the Revolutionary Party. These people were not afraid of death at all. They rushed forward with explosives on their bodies, throwing bombs as they rushed.Do you know Guangzhou? A bomb team composed of more than 100 people abruptly overwhelmed the [-] defense forces and entered the Governor's Mansion of Guangdong and Guangxi.If Zhang Mingqi, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, hadn't immediately ordered his guards to tear down the wall in the backyard of the governor's mansion, the governor would have been captured alive by the revolutionaries on the spot.

The Gan army's rebellious soldiers were more or less knowledgeable. As a result of such an bombing, they lost their fighting spirit and collapsed.Before the people left behind in the mansion begged other armies to send troops, Wang Zhenyu's Ninth Brigade easily quelled the entire rebellion, taking hundreds of prisoners alone.

Yu Zuobai said proudly to Bai Chongxi, "Am I afraid of death?"

Bai Chongxi rolled his eyes and said, "You really aren't afraid of death, you're just a little silly."

Yu Zuobai was so angry that he yelled, "Bai Jiansheng..."

ps: For the needs of the plot, Li Zongren was added to the Guangxi Student Army and went to Nanjing, and the Nanjing Mutiny of the Jiangxi Army was also moved forward by one month.

Chapter 055 The Bonus of the Revolution ([-])

At noon of the next day, Huang Xing rushed back to Nanjing in a hurry. After getting off the car, he ran non-stop to the Taipingqiao area where the army was in chaos. It happened that Wang Zhenyu was currently maintaining order here.

Wang Zhenyu accompanied the livid-faced Huang Xing to inspect the entire military-disturbed area. Looking at the houses burned down by the fire, Huang Xing was very sad, and his already livid face became even uglier.

Standing on the ruins, Huang Xing said to his entourage: "When things have come to this point, I am responsible for staying behind. I, Huang Keqiang, am sorry for the people in Nanjing, and I am sorry for the hundreds of thousands of brothers who followed us."

Looking at Huang Xing's lonely and tall figure, his red eyes and his heart-piercing cry, Wang Zhenyu suddenly felt a kind of desolation, a kind of desolation of a hero's twilight.

The inspection was coming to an end soon, Wang Zhenyu remembered a big event of his own, he walked up to Huang Xing in three steps and said in two steps: "Commander Huang, the students have something very confidential and need to report it to you alone. "

Huang Xing, who was about to get on his horse and leave, was very surprised when he heard this, and he glanced at Wang Zhenyu.He has always had an inexplicable affection for this young man who claimed to be a student and used his official position in Wuhan to call himself, so he nodded as he agreed.

A group of people moved to Liushou Mansion, Huang Xing did not go through the main entrance, but entered through the side door.There's no way, too many people are blocking me and begging for money, and it will be very troublesome if they see me.After more than a month, Huang Xing has thickened his face, and every time he enters the left-behind mansion, he uses the side door.

"Brother Zhenyu, you've also seen that I'm such a coward for staying behind!" Just as he sat down, Huang Xing sighed.

Wang Zhenyu replied very cautiously: "Where can I blame you? Beijing obviously designed you on purpose and put you on the stove to roast. Whoever encounters this kind of rice-less cooking is hard for a smart woman! And the rich people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Their actions are even more cold-hearted. If something happens in the future, who would want to fight for the world? They think they are smart, but in fact they are just short-sighted and clever."

Huang Xing's heart warmed up, but he still waved his hands and said, "There's no need to say these words of comfort. I'm also helpless in the current situation."

"But if the situation is allowed to go on like this, there will be more and more troubles in the future." Wang Zhenyu reminded lightly, in fact, Huang Xing is really an old scalper. Inside, there were also people watching him.
