Back to the Republic of China as a commander

It was the first time in Wang Zhenyu's life that he visited this small town in the late Qing Dynasty, although this first time had a lot of things recently.For example, the first sip of water, the first bowl of rice and so on. . .

Although it is now a time of war, even Hankou on the opposite side of the Hanshui River had the Qing army set a big fire during the battle last month, and it was completely burned.But in this town, the people are still living their peaceful lives. Even today when the army is stationed, you can still see many people busy with their own work on the streets, and there is no sign of avoiding the war.Perhaps from the perspective of ordinary people like them, no matter who comes and who goes, who wins and who loses, no matter how lively the toss is, for them, it is just paying taxes according to the rules.As for who is revolutionary and who is reactionary, those who can't read big characters are really not interested and have no time to worry about that.

If you have this skill, why not hurry up and dispose of the products on hand for some small money, weigh a catty of pork, mix half a catty of rice wine, and cook three or five side dishes, set up a table in your own home, and invite friends to come and gather really.

Wang Zhenyu walked and watched all the way, while Ma Xicheng followed with four other guards.

In fact, the town of Qinduankou is just such a street, neither long nor wide, and there is nothing unique about it.But Wang Zhenyu, who came from a later generation, now finds everything fresh, and even the signs can be seen to have an antique flavor, so let's not mention anything else.Don't be disgusted, Wang Zhenyu is watching and thinking again, this will just leave him here, if it is Yu Qiuyu, I am afraid that I will just watch it all the way, and the exclamation will be even stronger. Don't say that I will borrow my life by then. It is estimated that the time of Sansheng is not enough for him to sigh!

Wang Zhenyu was looking down at the tiger hat worn by a child playing by the side of the road, and a burst of noise came into his ears. . .

Chapter 006

Looking along the sound, there is a large group of people around something not far ahead.

This caught Wang Zhenyu's attention. He turned his head and glanced at Ma Xicheng, then walked forward and walked behind the crowd of onlookers. . .

"Master, please do me a favor. It's not easy for the little old man to raise these chickens. He even pointed out that he would sell a foot of cloth for the old woman at home to make new clothes for the new year. You can't just take it away." Let's go, please, please do me a favor, can't I do it if I don't sell it?" A thin old man with white hair in rough clothes was tugging at the soldier's sleeve corner, while nodding and bowing to the soldier with a bitter face good words.

The old man's accent sounded like a local, and he probably knew the villagers in the town.The villagers consciously or unconsciously surrounded the victims. If the party involved hadn't been a foreign soldier who had just entered the town, they would have swarmed up there long ago according to their past temperament.

I saw that the size of the soldier was very unusual, a full 1.8 meters big man, coupled with his strong body with wide shoulders and narrow waist, he looked very imposing.Such a physique is rare in the whole of Hunan, and I don't want to have such a physique in my own army.

The big soldier easily shook off the old man's hand clutching the corner of his sleeve, bowed his head and shouted: "Old man, if you are sensible, don't worry about it. I haven't paid my salary for three months, and I have to go to such a far place." Working hard to beat Tartars for you common people, even if I took you a few chickens for nothing? Besides, it’s not that I didn’t give you money. Look, I only have so much on me, and I gave it all to you. What else do you want? Oh , and the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the fathers, and you ordinary people just watch the blood of the fathers!"

"But Mr. Jun, look at the money you gave. It's really too little. Even if you buy a chicken for the little old man, it's more than this price. Please, raise your hand! This little old man No, you return the chickens to the little old man. Please do me a favor, it is not easy for the little old man to raise these chickens so big..." The old man said, his body sank, and he wanted to grab the soldier's trousers .But the leg was tightly wrapped with straps, and there was no place to hold it. The old man simply fell down and hugged the soldier's thigh, with snot and tears on his face, and he refused to let him go anyway. gone.

According to the general bloody plot, Wang Zhenyu, who is the leader, should step forward at this time, and then shout angrily.First stop the evil deeds of the soldiers and robbers, and then publicly announce the strict discipline of our army to love the people like a son, and finally order the big soldier to be killed in public, and then naturally it is the praise of the people and the praise of other officers and soldiers. I was in awe, but the experience of later generations told him, don't be in a hurry when you encounter problems, you might as well take another look. . .

The big soldier struggled a few times without breaking free, while more and more people were watching around, and the voices of discussion became louder and louder.Regardless of his size, but his mind is not small, as a veteran, he also knows that if he continues to be entangled like this, he will definitely cause big troubles, and he must get out immediately. Naturally, he is in a hurry to understand this. He said angrily to the old man: "You old man is so boring and shameless. These chickens are going to be settled today. Don't force me to be cruel. I can't help it. No one can blame anyone in this world."

After saying that, he tried his best to twitch his feet again, but the old man hugged him tightly, and some young people who were watching couldn't stand it anymore.Some helped say that the behavior of the big soldiers was wrong, and some quietly rolled up their sleeves and touched the shoulder poles they carried with them, ready to start directly.Seeing that the situation was wrong, the big man turned his head and shouted: "Yunzi, what are you doing standing there so stupidly? Why don't you come over and help."

Following the voice, there was a soldier standing a few meters away, with a fair complexion and a slightly thin figure.Seeing his expression hesitant, he didn't dare to come over for a long time, but replied: "Brother Zhao, let's forget it, let's find another way to do it?"

"Yunzi, what are you talking about, what about your elder brother's illness? Hurry up and help me!"

After finishing speaking, the big soldier stopped twitching his feet, and directly grabbed the old man's collar with one hand, and lifted the old man up from the ground: "Old man, let go, if you don't let go, I will really beat you up."

After finishing speaking, the big soldier really threw away the chickens in his hand, raised his casserole-sized fist, and made a gesture to beat the old man.

"Stop..." Wang Zhenyu knew that he would not come out at this time, and when this big soldier hit someone, the situation would really get out of hand.

"Which unit do you belong to? What's your name? Who is the leader?" Before the chief soldier could react, Wang Zhenyu went up and asked a series of sharp questions.

Afterwards, Wang Zhenyu also had to admire his cheap cousin Ma Xicheng for being capable. Before his voice fell, Ma Xicheng behind him rushed out with his guards.Taking advantage of the moment when the big soldier was slightly distracted, one person on each side directly grabbed his arm and pressed his shoulders to push the soldier to the ground, successfully controlling the scene.

Unexpectedly, this big man was quite strong, and after being pressed down by two people, he was able to struggle to get up and resist.

Ma Xicheng saw that this idea was a bit tricky, so without saying a word, he just kicked this guy's leg socket.The big soldier's legs suddenly lost strength, he couldn't stand firmly, and immediately knelt down on the ground again.The two guards quickly twisted his arm backwards so that he couldn't use his strength, so it was really restrained.And the little soldier standing on the side was also controlled by the guards.The onlookers were startled, even the old chicken seller was so frightened that he let go of the big soldier's legs and sat on the ground blankly watching Wang Zhenyu, Cheng Yaojin, who came out halfway. No one knew what happened. situation.

This also includes Wang Zhenyu himself, who was also stunned by the actions of Ma Xicheng and others.Before he called to stop, he didn't even think about how to deal with it. Could it be that he really slaughtered this big soldier like those bloody plots, and then won the praise of the people, what kind of civilized teacher, benevolent and righteous teacher's flattery came all over the place , Then the three armies are not afraid to obey my coach's strict discipline?In the end, he just entered the sequence of 5000-year Chinese famous generals?

Looking at the big soldier kneeling on the ground with his hands cut behind his back but still panting heavily like fire, Wang Zhenyu really felt a little murderous in his heart.Wang Zhenyu of the later generations hates this kind of stubborn, rude, and lifeless stunned young man the most, because he seldom suffers when dealing with such people, unless he himself is shameless to play tricks, otherwise he will definitely not fall well.

Isn't it said that big things don't stick to small details? Why don't I learn from Cao Aman and use this kid's head to make use of him?Anyway, I don't like this kid anyway, so it seems right to kill him directly in public or private.

Before Wang Zhenyu could make a fuss, the little soldier called Yun Yazi seemed to recognize who Wang Zhenyu was, and he knelt down abruptly and said, "We were wrong, sir, we are the first in the front team." The one in the same shed, he is our deputy head Zhao Dongsheng, and the younger one is Song Haomin, a second-class soldier. We can’t do anything about it. If you want to punish me, you can punish the younger me. It’s none of Zhao Sange’s business! Please!”

He was about to kowtow after he finished speaking, but he was held tightly by the shoulders by two nervous guards and couldn't lower his waist. He looked only about fifteen or sixteen years old, so he was a clever little man.

Before Wang Zhenyu could recall it, the big man named Zhao Dongsheng yelled:

"Yunzi, don't beg him. These dog officials only care about getting promoted and making a fortune. When did they see us big-headed soldiers as human beings, and kill them if they want to. I'm afraid he will do something! Hmm!"

Before he finished speaking, Ma Xicheng slapped him hard on the back of the head.Then the two guards each freed up a hand and held the big man's head. Although Zhao Dongsheng struggled hard, he couldn't lift his head.

Wang Zhenyu was not happy when he heard this. My brother, I have only been an official for the first time. I have not had time to do a single bad thing. How can I become a dog official?Hehe, if the tiger doesn't show its power, you treat me as a sick cat. I am a dignified supervisor, and he is also at the same level as the eternally famous Deng Shichang and Deng Da.

Wang Zhenyu looked at this stubborn man with thick eyebrows and big eyes while thinking, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt uncomfortable.

"Asshole, it's reasonable for you to buy and sell by force. As a soldier, don't you know the military regulations? Are you not convinced? Do you believe that I will shoot you now?"

Even though Song Haomin was young, he was very knowledgeable. When he saw Mr. Guan Dai's eyeballs rolling up and down, left and right, he knew that Mr. Guan Dai was not trying to bluff people, but was really planning to kill.

Frightened, he lowered his body and deftly got rid of the guards controlling him, stepped forward to kneel and took two steps, fell down and hugged Wang Zhenyu's leg.No matter how the guard pulled him, he would not let go, crying: "Wang Guandai, you always listen to the little ones saying that the little ones really have nothing to do. The little second brother Song Haoran is also in our shed, but he I got a very serious illness, hot and cold, and I don’t know what to do. This transfer of defense is all carried out by Zhao Sange, and there is no military medical officer in our camp. We want to spend money to send it to the doctor. But the younger ones haven’t received their salary since August, and the younger ones can’t be recruited. There is a local doctor from the third brother who said that eating a few stewed hens will be enough, and the younger ones can’t help it. Please let Third Brother Zhao go, I am willing to die for you."

Now the crowd of onlookers began to discuss, some said that these soldiers are actually quite pitiful, and some said that the officials really don't treat soldiers as human beings.Anyway, the voice is not loud, just enough for Wang Zhenyu to hear.

The problem turned out to be with these "dog officials" himself. Wang Zhenyu blushed immediately, and he said awkwardly: "Ahem, why didn't you tell me earlier? If you have any difficulties, why don't you go to the captain of the team instead of doing this forcefully?" What about buying and selling?"

Song Haomin's small eyes rolled: Didn't you ask?They took us right away, how could we have a chance to speak?

But he had read the book and heard the job with his uncle, so he knew that he couldn't say this no matter what.He quickly let go and took a step back, without saying anything, just kept kowtowing at Wang Zhenyu.

Chapter 007 Regaining the Army's Spirit ([-])

It seems that things cannot be handled hastily, Wang Zhenyu thought.After calming down, Wang Zhenyu's choice was to help the old man who fell on the ground first, and then pay him.But after touching himself for a long time, he realized that he didn't bring any money, so he asked Ma Xicheng for three ocean plugs in embarrassment, and stuffed them into the old man's hand: "Old man, what about this chicken, I'll buy it. The thing must be that we did something wrong to aid the Hubei and Hunan Army. You have been wronged all the time. I apologize to you on behalf of them."

After he finished speaking, he really bowed, which made the old man wave his hands and say no, no.

"I also apologize to the folks, we, the Hunan Army, have caused you trouble." After speaking, he bowed in three directions to the crowd.The people onlookers were suddenly in a mess. After watching the scene just now, everyone guessed that Wang Zhenyu should be the leading officer.Since he is a military officer, he is considered an official. He has grown up since he was a child. Everyone has never seen an official who would apologize and admit his mistake. But any official will definitely not be wrong. This has been the case since ancient times!

Wang Zhenyu turned to look at the aggrieved Zhao Dongsheng again, and yelled loudly: "You are still a dignified deputy, this act of selling and buying by force violates military discipline, do you know that, if it is serious, you will be beheaded. Do you understand? It’s because you have a reason for what happened, and it’s to save Paozhe. I’ll reward you with twenty army sticks as a punishment, are you convinced?”

Zhao Dongsheng didn't say anything, just turned his head to one side, and told Wang Zhenyu very clearly with practical actions that Lao Tzu was not convinced, and he was very dissatisfied.

This expression made Wang Zhenyu, who wanted to take the opportunity to step down and was perfunctory, suddenly embarrassed.He now feels that if this matter is not handled well today, he may be in big trouble.Don't underestimate such a thorny head. Wang Zhenyu, who is familiar with history books, knows that history is often driven by these small characters inadvertently.Do you know the Denglai Mutiny that changed the fate of the Ming Dynasty?The cause of such a serious incident was that a small soldier stole a chicken. This discovery made historians of later generations dumbfounded.Stories such as quarrels and mutiny have been staged throughout the dynasties. Don't underestimate these big soldiers. If you don't handle them well, the ones who will be backlashed are those officers who seem to be very imposing on weekdays.

At the same time, Wang Zhenyu also felt that this was an opportunity, what kind of opportunity?An opportunity to establish your prestige in the military.If you want to make a name for yourself in this era, it is the first step, and it is also a very important step, to master the group of big soldiers in your hands.But how to master them well, this is a problem!

When later generations worked in Guangzhou, Wang Zhenyu worked as a department head in a logistics company for half a year. At that time, he was the youngest in the department.At first everyone was not convinced, but in the end they all obeyed Wang Zhenyu's words.There is no other reason, words must be followed, and what is said is done, especially the issue of treatment related to everyone's well-being. Wang Zhenyu has often had many conflicts of ideas between everyone and the boss.When you are away from home, what you are looking for is nothing more than money. As long as you can solve this problem, are you afraid that others will not mess with you?When the income increases, the prestige will naturally increase, because the person who takes the money will have the impression: You can affect my income, so I will listen to you.

He thought about it and said to Ma Xicheng: "Go, Adjutant Ma, tell the whole battalion to gather here, I will reward this stubborn donkey with twenty army sticks in public."

Wang Zhenyu usually calls his cousin Ma Xicheng in private, but when he is in office, he is always called Ma Xicheng by Ma Xicheng. Ma Xicheng is also a sensible person. My brother has to deal with business.

Ma Xicheng nodded, and quickly took the order to go. Only then did the old chicken seller react and leaned over cautiously: "Well, this official, I really don't know that this chicken is going to be given to people. Healing diseases and saving lives. Otherwise, let’s not sell it, so why not give it to this military master. Now that this is said, you, do you think this military stick can be spared, the little old man doesn’t look like a man Bad guy."

"Yeah, my lord will be exempted!"

"I don't think this guy is a bad guy, he's very loyal!"

The anger of the villagers next to them disappeared long ago, and what was left was only sympathy for these big soldiers who had left their homes and had no food and clothing, so after the old man spoke, they all joined in to plead for the big man.

Wang Zhenyu didn't answer, but just supported the old man and said: "The state owns the state law, and the family has family rules. You should rest on the sidelines first. This matter will be dealt with fairly, you can rest assured."

The town is not big, and after a while, the team ran over in a neat line. Seeing this, the onlookers took the initiative to step aside, giving way to the gravel road in the middle of the town, and the soldiers lined up in four columns.
