Back to the Republic of China as a commander

Wang Zhenyu was immediately happy, and that eccentric little girl also appeared in his mind.Maybe this girl is really good, Wang Zhenyu thought suddenly.As soon as this idea came out, he gave himself a big jump. He nervously looked at Zhao Dongsheng and Ma Xicheng behind him. Seeing that they were still some distance away from him, he felt relieved and accepted the ten-character letter. alright.

Zhao Dongsheng and Ma Xicheng who were following behind exchanged glances, they didn't know why the brigade commander suddenly laughed.

With such a large amount of arms to be sent to Shanghai, Huang Xing couldn't find any reliable manpower for a while, so he naturally handed over the heavy responsibility to Wang Zhenyu who came up with the idea.Wang Zhenyu didn't shirk it either, anyway, he had done it once, so he was familiar with it.The Ninth Brigade temporarily took over the defense of the entire Xiaguan Wharf with the order of the Left Behind House.

In Shanghai, Du Yuesheng's ability to handle affairs is really strong, in order to avoid accidents in the transaction.Du Yuesheng first reported to his master Huang Jinrong and promised a benefit fee of up to 50 yuan.Then, in the name of Huang Jinrong, he greeted all the major forces on the ground in Shanghai.Because Huang Jinrong, the biggest gangster in Shanghai, got involved, and Ye Zuwen visited Mr. Yu Qiaqing and Mr. Yu again.Anyone with any influence in Shanghai now knows that this deal cannot be touched.These days, no matter how much money you want to make, you have to make sure you have life.

According to the agreement, Ye Zuwen naturally paid Huang Xing 150 million oceans first, and as soon as Huang Xing received the money, he immediately mobilized his direct troops to surround the various ministries, disarmed them and forcibly dismissed them.

Among them, Wang Zhixiang's Guangxi Army was the first to bear the brunt. Wang Zhixiang, who knew that he would not be spared, finally took [-] oceans from Wang Zhenyu, and handed over the entire engineering battalion under his command to Wang Zhenyu.Except for the resignation of the battalion commander himself, Wang Zhenyu remained unchanged, and he also paid back the salary owed. At the same time, Wang Zhenyu appointed Hu Lichun, the former company commander of the engineering battalion, as the major and battalion commander of the engineering battalion.

After successfully disposing of the Guangxi Army with the most complete organizational system, Huang Xing began to forcibly dismiss the other armies.The whole Nanjing suddenly became deserted, and Wang Zhenyu's opportunity came.With Huang Xing's acquiescence, he received men and equipment from the demobilized armies.The principle is also very clear. Soldiers over the age of 25 are not required, and officers who are above the company level are not required.Those with a literacy rate of over [-] will be admitted first, and once they are selected, they will be given three months of military salary as resettlement allowance.

As soon as the news came out, officers and soldiers of the civilian army who did not want to return to their hometowns to farm the land used Nanjing Army No. [-] Middle School one after another and asked to join the Ninth Brigade.The officer in charge of the recruitment said with a cheerful smile, okay, I will accept anyone who can write a hundred characters or carry that one-hundred-jin bag of rice around the playground. There was another burst of excitement.

In this way, the elite selected from the disbanded civilian army quickly filled the establishment of the three infantry regiments, and the business of tailor shops and shoe shops in Nanjing City also exploded. Each person had two sets of blue-gray new military uniforms plus Three sets of boxer briefs, two sets of vests, two sets of white shirts, and two pairs of cloth shoes.The officers of the Ninth Brigade's Quartermaster Department have been extremely busy during this period, working overtime to catch up with tasks, collecting sizes and placing orders, and running around almost without touching the ground.

The infantry regiment was formed according to the principle of the three-three system, so the original company was naturally upgraded and expanded into a battalion, and the original platoon was upgraded and expanded into a company. Tao Zhiyue and others were thus smoothly promoted to major and battalion commander. I was a major.The teaching team had a total of 96 trainees. Except for Yu Zuobai and other nine who stayed in the teaching team as instructors, the remaining 87 were assigned to the newly formed infantry companies (a total of 27), special service companies, and reconnaissance companies as platoon leaders.Song Haomin was only 17 years old and served as the captain of the teaching team, with the rank of captain temporarily.

In addition, Wang Zhenyu doesn't know what kind of mentality he has. For technical arms such as engineers and artillery, he adopts a system of admission. As long as the officers have professional knowledge, they will be retained in their original positions. Soon, a whole engineer battalion and a The brigade belongs to the artillery team (40 people, no cannon), and the ninth brigade suddenly expanded to more than 900 people, and because it was supplemented by elite veterans, its combat effectiveness did not decrease but increased.

The Left-behind Mansion turned a blind eye to this, and they themselves were doing the same thing. Isn't that how the Eighth Division and the Ninth Division were formed?Secondly, they really didn't have the money to repay the salaries owed by these demobilized soldiers, and it was their wish that someone could take the initiative to handle some of them for them;

The Nanjing side was so lively, and the Shanghai side didn't stop. As soon as they were forced to disperse, weapons and everything came out immediately.Huang Xing, Li Shucheng and others ordered that, except for the two newly formed divisions selected for equipment and sent to Li Liejun in Jiangxi, the rest should be sent to Xiaguan Wharf, which was taken over by the Ninth Brigade.Wang Zhenyu didn't say much, but asked Yang Wangui to lead the officers and soldiers of the Ninth Brigade to supervise the dock workers to load the ship immediately. On March 3, a total of 12 rifles of various types and some ammunition arrived in Shanghai on five 15-ton British freighters. I still didn’t forget to say to Ye Zuwen: “Mr. Ye, our lord has recorded your contribution, and the balance will be transferred to your account when the five shipments arrive at Lushunkou. The lord is also reputable. rest assured."

As for Du Yuesheng, who was in charge of the security of this transaction, although only 40 yuan was actually obtained in the end, with the huge reputation and popularity generated by the success of this transaction, Du Yuesheng is now really on the stage in Shanghai Bund.With money in hand, there will naturally be people under his hands, and someone will naturally have power. It is estimated that everyone will politely call Du Boss when they see Du Yuesheng in the future.

Thinking of this, Du Yuesheng in a good mood cupped his hands and said to Ye Zuwen: "Mr. Ye, please go back and tell my third brother that I will accept the 90 yuan without hesitation. The rest of the matter will be on my second brother. Are you serious?" When I see the money, I won’t let the British sell the goods, you can let him rest assured.”

Ye Zuwen also laughed, and said in return that he would definitely bring Boss Du's words.

In Beijing, Yuan Shikai vaguely learned that the Revolutionary Party sold guns here in exchange for money to demobilize the army.Although he was very dissatisfied with the Revolutionary Party's handling of such a large-scale arms, Yuan Guangtou himself was so devastated by the six-nation bank group that borrowed money from the aftermath, and the army under his command that they paid for it, that he had no time to look around.In addition, it is always good to be able to disband the opponent's army, at least it is beneficial to oneself, and one cannot demand perfection in everything.After thinking about this, Yuan Shikai not only didn't mention the munitions, but also sent a telegram to praise Huang Xing, but he was not a kind person, so he still ordered Zhao Bingjun and others to investigate the final whereabouts of the munitions.

Because Du Yuesheng was very tight-lipped, Zhao Bingjun only found out Ye Zuwen's level afterward, and failed to dig out Wang Zhenyu, a little fox.

On March 3, the final payment of 20 million was settled at HSBC.However, this weapon did not end up in the hands of the Socialist Party, which paid a lot of money.It is said that he was surrounded by Zhang Zuolin, the commander of the 600th Division of the Army stationed in Fengtian, just after being transported from Lushun.As for who leaked the news, many years later the history deciphered, it was precisely the Japanese who were relied on by the Zongsha Party as their backer, bad, really bad.

Therefore, Huang Xing, Wang Zhenyu, and Zhang Zuolin all benefited from this largest underground arms transaction in the first year of the Republic of China, but the Zongshe Party lost a lot.The princes who lost their money and got nothing but blamed each other could only sigh.

The first volume of Heroes of [-] is over. . .

Chapter 057

In Nanjing Middle School, on the football field, a military friendly football match is going on intensely, with cheers coming and going. . .

Wearing shorts and shorts, those who are not afraid of the cold spring are the students of Nanjing Middle School; while those wearing vests are even more exaggerated are the football team of the Tigers Ninth Brigade.The two teams are engaged in a fierce confrontation, the current score is 1:0, er, the Tigers are behind.

This tiger brigade football team is completely the product of Wang Zhenyu passing by the football field of Nanjing Middle School by chance. The members mainly include Yang Wangui, Xu Yuanquan and other main officers of the tiger brigade.

Although these people are not very old and their official titles are not low, the only dissatisfaction is that their footwork is really bad. Except for using their physical advantages to cause damage when defending, they basically even pass a decent ball. not come out.

It's rare to have such a bad opponent, and the boys who are determined to perform well in front of the girls just shoot around the goal of the Tigers Brigade.The poor officers had to use their heads, chests, backs, and buttocks to resist the bombardment of the football. Wan Yaohuang was even hit in the nose on the spot.

Although Xu Yuanquan and the others were united, they were panting like a dead dog from the top left and the right, but Yang Wangui, who was the goalkeeper, took a hard shot in the eye.But the students still got a penalty kick. When the opponent's shot was about to fly into the goal, the damned Hao Bing forgot that he was a defender and directly did the work for Yang Wangui.A slap sent the ball flying, and it turned out to be a penalty.After the goal was scored, the girls watching the game clapped excitedly, and some even hugged each other excitedly. This scene gave Wang Zhenyu the illusion that he was participating in the World Cup.

The score of 1:0 was about to come to an end, but Wang Zhenyu, who had been hiding in the outer circle watching his subordinates being beaten up and down, unexpectedly got the football from Tao Zhiyue, who disappeared for the whole game.

After watching a monkey show, he got such an opportunity, how could Wang Zhenyu let it go easily.I saw him striding to catch up with the football, and facing the opponent who came up to intercept him, he made a light trip and used his speed to easily ask.Then he ran all the way straight to the opponent's goal, and there was just a silly goalkeeper sitting on the ground in a daze.Since you are so unprofessional, then I will not be polite. Wang Zhenyu flicked the ball with a feint, lightly flicked past the goalkeeper who was a little stiff and rushed out in a hurry, and easily pushed the ball into the empty goal.

Evening, Xu Yuanquan and others who had suffered a chaotic bombardment also hugged together excitedly. Only after being surrounded and beaten by almost the whole audience, the sudden victory seemed so precious, and almost everyone entered the game. Even Wan Yaohuang, who stuffed his nostrils with a tissue, rushed into the stadium to celebrate with everyone.

After scoring the goal, Wang Zhenyu was naturally in a good mood. Sweaty, he immediately instructed Zhao Dongsheng and Ma Xicheng that he wanted to promote this movement in the entire army.Specifically, I went to buy a bunch of footballs and took them home, saying that I wanted to use them to cultivate a sense of teamwork.Ma Xicheng and Zhao Dongsheng are completely convinced of the brigade commander Wang Zhenyu now. Although they don't know if football is so powerful, since the brigade commander said it, it will definitely not be a mistake to follow it.

On March 3, the severance work was coming to an end, and Huang Xing, who was free, invited Wang Zhenyu to have a meal with him.On the one hand, it is to express my apology for Wang Zhenyu's promotion because I have lost power, on the other hand, I also thank Wang Zhenyu for his great contribution in this dismissal work, and finally, I want to practice it for Wang Zhenyu who is about to return to Hunan.

"Wen Zheng, you have to be careful about everything when you go to Hunan, and you can't be too arrogant. I will also write to Dudu Tan, hoping that he can buy me three-point thin noodles." Give up, it's a pity that I have to put my horse on Nanshan next time, and the sword and gun are in the warehouse, even if I can't bear it, there is nothing I can do, alas.

Wang Zhenyu smiled, and after drinking three glasses, he felt a little sentimental.Thinking about it carefully, if it wasn't for Huang Xing, he might have already sunk in the right and wrong nest in Hunan with his clan uncle Wang Longzhong.Moreover, it was Huang Xing's several unexpected actions that not only kept Wang Zhenyu's small influence, but also made his wings plump by taking advantage of the good opportunity of the second arms transaction.Now that the climate has become mature, Wang Zhenyu will really be fearless when he returns to Hunan. With this trace of gratitude, Wang Zhenyu said affectionately: "Mr. Ke Qiang, you should pay attention to your health, and don't overwork yourself in everything."

As he said that, his eyes were red, Huang Xing was very moved by this fake appearance, and drank it all in one gulp.

On March 3, with the huge dividends gained from the Revolution of 24, the Tiger Brigade boarded a ship and returned to Hunan. . .

At the beginning of the order to transfer defense back to Hunan, the thoughts of the officers and soldiers of all ministries fluctuated to some extent.After all, the composition of the tiger brigade is no longer in Hunan province.Of the more than 900 people in the brigade, there were only a little over 300 officers and soldiers from Hunan, accounting for barely one-third.The remaining Hubei, Guangxi, Guizhou and a relatively small number of Henan, Anhui, Guangdong, and Sichuan accounted for two-thirds.

As far as military quality is concerned, Wang Zhenyu is indeed a monk halfway, but it does not mean that his military concepts are backward.On the contrary, Wang Zhenyu, who has been influenced by the information of later generations, is much clearer and more pragmatic than soldiers of this era in terms of thinking about building an army.

Therefore, in the current squadron, only Wang Zhenyu dared to boldly mix soldiers of different origins, and he was not afraid of infighting in the army due to geographical issues.Of course, this is based on generous treatment and equal treatment.In addition, Wang Zhenyu worked hard to promote the so-called group concept and severely crack down on regional discrimination.Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the Tiger Brigade not only did not decline due to internal strife as usual, but instead rose sharply as the majority of officers and soldiers recognized the Tiger Brigade.

During the whole process of reorganization, the officer problem that worried Wang Zhenyu the most was also solved smoothly.At present, the officer structure of the whole brigade is very reasonable. The proportion of officers from Hunan, Hubei, and Guangxi provinces is about the same; among them, Hunan is slightly dominant, reaching [-]%, and Hubei, Guangxi and other places each account for [-]%.

Wang Zhenyu is also very clear about the characteristics of the warlord troops who followed the principle of the township party during the Republic of China. It was nothing more than the big warlords coaxing the small warlords, the small warlords coaxing the small soldiers, and the officers coaxing the villagers. .Specifically, for example, Yuan Shikai wanted to coax Zhiwan Feng, Feng Guozhang wanted to coax the Three Governors of the Yangtze River, Sun Yat-sen wanted to coax Chen Jiongming's Guangdong Army and Yang Ximin and Liu Zhenhuan's Yunnan-Guangxi Allied Forces.And what about the military leaders themselves?They are going to coax a lot of Qidi (worshiping brothers) under their hands. They are all coaxing from top to bottom. If you don't coax them, they will not move.It's nothing, if you are not happy that day, these rebellious boys will play a big show of bombarding the Grand Marshal's mansion or defecting to let you know how powerful they are, and military laws and regulations are completely regarded as trifling.Coupled with the conscious manipulation of the great powers, the warlords can only continue to stage the drama of coming back from the field and returning to the field.A good country is just being tossed by the miasma of these bastards who call themselves soldiers, and their vitality has been severely damaged.Strictly speaking, such an army is no longer an army, but a violent political group above society.The appearance of this group in modern Chinese history also laid the groundwork for many later historical tragedies.

Although Wang Zhenyu doesn't hate the warlords, he personally always believes that if it wasn't for their separatist territories and chaotic wars every year, the vitality of the country would be hurt.Japan is definitely not so bold as to change encroachment into swallowing, and the Soviet Union did not dare to make a move on the issues of Outer Mongolia and Xinjiang. Anti-Rightists, Cultural Revolution, family planning and other weird things will never happen.

In short, without this group of warlords, many tragedies in later generations could have been avoided, and at least the eight-year war of resistance would not have been so messy.

But boredom is boredom, and there is one point that needs to be emphasized and made clear: For Wang Zhenyu from later generations, since he is here now, those who want to separate one side and hinder him from unifying the country are all warlords and his enemies .The end of these people can only give him food for the moment, and they must be resolutely and completely eliminated.

Wang Zhenyu even warned himself: If there must be a warlord in this country, there can only be one warlord, and this warlord is himself, Wang Zhenyu.There is no way, who made his grade and awareness higher than those warlords, ha ha (shameless!).

Based on this understanding, at the beginning of the expansion of the Ninth Brigade, Wang Zhenyu paid special attention to the issue of dewarlordization. He firmly held the power of personnel and finance in his own hands through the teaching team and the military supply department.

But this was not enough. He also consciously recruited a large number of students from Hubei and Guangxi into the teaching team, and then appointed these people as grassroots officers.More importantly, he pays great attention to the treatment of soldiers, and there is never a shortage of what should be given. The opposite is the strict military discipline.We've made it this far, if someone can pull out a team from Wang Zhenyu's team, then Wang Zhenyu will really bow down, let's not complain, just hang out with this boss.

However, the negative effects of such actions are also obvious. When the order to deploy Hunan is issued, officers and soldiers who are not from Hunan will inevitably feel homesick, and naturally there will be some emotional fluctuations. This situation also aroused Wang Zhenyu's concern for a while.Fortunately, human beings, an advanced animal, have a basic principle when faced with choices, that is, to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.For example, these soldiers are not stupid about the treatment. If they really want to leave the Ninth Brigade, where can they find such generous treatment?The lesser of two evils is a human psychological instinct, everyone's emotional fluctuations are quickly suppressed by their own instincts, and at the same time, the consciousness of following the brigade commander to conquer the world and enjoy wealth and honor has become somewhat clearer because of this, which is strange. . .

Chapter 058 The Tiger Roars in Changsha ([-])

Or let’s talk about this deployment, who is the busiest person in the Ninth Brigade these days?Ma Xicheng, chief of military supplies.The deployment of nearly 4000 people was a headache for him, and friends who have experience in organizing unit activities in future generations should know.Once the number of people in this group activity exceeds ten people, transportation, eating and sleeping will become a problem, and it will be a big trouble if it is not handled properly.This will happen to more than ten people, let alone when there are 4000 people.

You must know that the army's mobile defense is not the travel of later generations of donkey friends, it is purely a small bag with a bank card and dare to wander around.The army's mobile defense operation is not only about people walking, but also various weapons and equipment and military supplies that need to be moved.However, the level of transportation infrastructure in this era is really unflattering. There are only a few sections of railways, aircraft are still being developed, and water transportation is still the bulk.Forget it, don't think too much, all Ma Xicheng can do is to honestly charter passenger ships to travel the Yangtze River waterway, and naturally have to send people to the front station to arrange supplies along the way.

Although he has never been to a formal military academy, Ma Xicheng, who is careful and inexperienced, would think of sending someone to the front station no matter how inexperienced he is.After all, it's not difficult to eat when you go out alone.But if it is nearly 4000 people, it is not difficult, but it has become difficult.

Do you know how the Sui Dynasty fell?Emperor Sui Yang wandered around with 10,000+ people when he had nothing to do, and he succeeded in solving the food shortage in Luoyang.But as far as the place is concerned, the fact that the emperor brought so many people for a walk is essentially the same as waiting for locusts to cross the border.And after the locusts pass through the border, the people who have no food to eat really don't know what to do except rebel.

Fortunately, the consumption of 4000 people could not catch up with the entourage of Emperor Sui Yang in any case, and it was still within the scope of local financing, which was nothing more than spending more money.But after this matter was reported to Wang Zhenyu, it had a great impact on Wang Zhenyu's way of thinking.In the past, although he came from later generations, he also knew that fighting wars was about logistics, but after all, this concept was only in books, and his personal feelings were not deep; but now after this trip, it is really placed in front of him. .He suddenly realized that perhaps the difference between a famous general and an idiot since ancient times is the logistics support.

Don't underestimate the logistics support. This thing is a systematic project. If it is done, it will often fail, but if it is not done, it will definitely cause big problems.For example, military uniforms. It is now the end of March, and the weather in the south is gradually getting hotter. It is no longer appropriate for the troops to continue to wear autumn and winter clothing.As the chief of military supplies, Ma Xicheng has already proposed to change the summer clothes for the whole army, which makes Wang Zhenyu a little confused.

Is this also under the control of the brigade commander?Shouldn't the general logistics department, or the joint logistics department of the three armed forces be fully responsible for this kind of costume change in future generations?

It's a pity that people always have to face the reality. The Ninth Brigade is nominally affiliated to the Hunan Military Government, but from its establishment to today, Changsha has not even issued a single appointment except for a single appointment. The white note in Wang Zhenyu's hand There are six to seven million huge.

Therefore, if you can rely on Changsha to change your military uniform, it would be a joke. You have to add two words to the designation of the Tiger Brigade, Beggar Gang.Then the only thing to do is to disband, so which one of the logistics support is not important?

As usual, Wang Zhenyu sent a telegram to Ye Zuwen, asking him to prepare 4000 sets of summer clothes.All are in the style of the new army, and the size is based on the company. Let all the ministries report the statistics overnight, and the military supply department will register and make a list, and then send a special person to Wuhan first.
