This autumn exercise is very different from the historical Hejian autumn exercise, as the second town of the northward attack, with the help of a target of the Wuyi New Army, it is almost bloodless to open the passage, and the third town as the defender not only suffered heavy losses in the infantry, but also the artillery and cavalry were almost wiped out. If it weren't for the fact that Tie Liang, Minister of War of the Army, had already returned to Beijing after the parade, Yuan Shikai, who was also the Minister of Parade, didn't know where to put his face.

This time, not only Cao Laosan's face was completely trampled underfoot, but even Wang Yingkai, who won nominally, rarely showed a smiling face, and the entire Beiyang was turned into green leaves by the performance of the new army of Wuyi. Although Morrison, the chief correspondent of the British "Times" in Beijing, wrote a number of news reports and trumpeted the autumn exercises held by the Beiyang Army in Hejian Province, the military attaches and reporters of various countries were not blind, and since then, the Wuyi New Army and Beiyang have been on a par with the military circles of the Qing Dynasty, and few people are embarrassed to say that the Wuyi New Army is a regimental training. Of course, there will be gains and losses, although Lafayette has always hoped to have an army to fight against Beiyang, but when the new army of Wuyi emerges, the Yehenara clan can't help but be a little frightened, after all, both armies are warlords with distinct soldiers, and they are both Han soldiers. As for the nobles and Qingliu in the DPRK and China, no matter which army rises, as long as they are not from our generation, they will all wear a hat of supporting the army and respecting themselves, and there is nothing to avoid the edge. As for the Beiyang lineage, Wu Chenxuan is actually very contradictory, he wants to keep his eyes open, but he is also very worried that Beiyang despises himself too much, and he is a neighbor of Shandong, once he is instigated, he may start a war. If there is a conflict between Beiyang and the Wuyi New Army, regardless of whether the Wuyi New Army wins or not, the result may not be favorable.

This time in the autumn exercises, when Xiao Mingfeng was given a face-to-face lesson before the expedition, Wu Chenxuan proposed to strive for every opportunity to stand up, except for He Dazhuang's special forces team and not to easily expose his strength, the others tried to show as much as possible. This is also the reason why Du Zicheng and Wu Luzhen, who have more experience in leading troops, are not allowed to lead the troops to participate, these two are more than serious and have insufficient performance, and Xiao Heizi is the kind of person who is crazy and has a super strong performance. This task of deterring the enemy is entrusted to him, which is easy and pleasant. As long as he can buy two to three years of peaceful development time for the Wuyi New Army and more than double its territory, Wu Chenxuan is confident that in the days before the end of the Qing Dynasty, he will only bully others, and no domestic force will dare to plunder his own tiger whiskers. As for He Dazhuang's dispatch, in fact, on the one hand, he used the reconnaissance skills of the special forces to find fighters for the Wuyi New Army, and on the other hand, it was also to prevent excessive spying by the other side, and at the same time, he also had to monitor the internal instability. As for the unstable factor, it is naturally Xu Shuzheng, who is known as Xu Xiaofan, but the existence of Youzheng not only allows Beiyang to have a channel of communication between Beiyang and the Wuyi New Army, which can avoid really misfire, but also the situation of the Wuyi New Army from Xu's mouth can win the trust of the Beiyang generals, so that they dare not underestimate the strength of the Wuyi New Army.

Although the autumn exercise came to an end, at the request of the missions of various countries, the standard and subordinate units of the Wuyi New Army did not immediately return to the station, but temporarily added an observation performance and off-site exchanges. Needless to say, there is no shortage of people of insight among the great powers of Japan, Germany, Russia, Britain, France, and the United States, and the advantages and shortcomings of the new weapons and tactics cannot be demonstrated in an autumn exercise. Yuan Shikai saw that his nominal proprietor was still being left aside, and his face was really perfunctory, so he simply announced that because of the severe bandit situation in various places, he ordered the second and third towns to return to the station as soon as possible to exterminate the bandits and appease the place.

It is not known how the banditry in Henan is in Zhili, but the Taizhou uprising, which the biggest chaotic party Qiao Cannon is fully supporting, has actually disappeared. The city of Taizhou has now returned to its former peace, but Tao Chengzhang and dozens of revolutionary youths are imprisoned in the dungeons of the government office, while the children of the Green Gang are imprisoned in the City God's Temple near the city gate. Now the people's minds are determined, whether the people are in power by the revolutionary party or the Qing Dynasty, life is always peaceful. However, there are also people who don't want this kind of peaceful life to continue, such as Tong Huchen Tong Yingzuo, who became a revolutionary traitor, if Wu Chenxuan wants to yin him, he only needs one sentence, and he has to be beheaded together with the revolutionary comrades who were betrayed by him. So these days, Tong Huchen, who has consciously had nothing to betray, is restless, for fear of being stewed by Lord Wu. The day before yesterday, I went to the prefect's yamen to ask for instructions on whether to report the captured rebels together, but they were blocked by the guards of the Wuyi New Army.

On this day, Tong Huchen couldn't be relied on anymore, so he invited Li Jin to the restaurant by the canal, and after three rounds of wine and five flavors, he ruthlessly took out a silver ticket of five hundred taels, and begged the koi brothers to give him guidance.

"Brother Li, brother, after thinking about it for the past few days, I always feel unsteady, you are a close minister next to the adult, and you naturally know more about Lord Wu's thoughts than my brother. I also asked my brother to show me the way. Brother thanked me here. Tong Huchen was about to leave the table and bow down as he spoke, but Li Jin was agile and stopped.

"What the elder brother said, the younger brother is just an ordinary little staff officer. As the saying goes, a staff officer doesn't have a commander, and he doesn't fart loudly. Of course, Li Jin understands the intention of this Tong adult, but it does not conflict with his own task, so he is happy to be false and wrong, "Brother, you might as well tell me what you think, the younger brother is still good at helping the staff officer, anyway, I was originally a confidential staff officer." ”

"Brother, I'm mainly worried that the princes in the court will not let go of my brother's wrong things I did before, and I was going to ask for some chaotic parties to kill my head to show my loyalty to the court, but it is difficult to see Lord Wu confess his heart in person."

"I understand this matter a little, there may be important leaders of the chaotic party hidden in these chaotic parties, and Lord Wu naturally wants to follow the vine, of course, he will not let you cut the mess indiscriminately. However, my brother's idea is not bad, and he must finally kill some chaotic parties in order to demonstrate our dynasty's determination to suppress rebellion, and it is also an explanation to the court. ”

"That's right, why don't we hunt down some Diao people who are helping to fight against the army?" Tong Huchen was in a hurry and planned to kill the good and take the lead, anyway, in the Great Qing Dynasty, this is also the only way for military attaches to be promoted to make a fortune and dye their red tops.

"By the way, why are those boats still parked on the river?" Instead of answering his temptation, the koi went to the window and watched the merchant ships passing by on the canal.

"Well, there are boatmen, mostly from the shore watching the boats. However, most of the shipowners are children of the Green Gang, and they have not yet been tried, so they dare not let it go at will, and they will naturally be dealt with in a few days. ”

"Well, after the army, ships will be used for the transportation of food and arms, and these ships will be temporarily requisitioned for emergencies, I don't know if Master Tong has done the master?"

"Requisition? Well, in fact, there is no need to requisition, these ships were originally intended to deliver arms and food to the rebels, and it is not an exaggeration to copy them according to the law. Besides, those shipowners are all green gangs, and they are pressed in the City God Temple, and anyone dares to say half a word? Tong Huchen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he arched his hand at Li Jinyi, "Haha, Brother Li Jin, thank you for your guidance, brother, I owe you a big favor, if you have any orders in the future, brother, I will definitely not refuse." ”

"Alas, my brother is serious, and besides, I just want to contribute to the transportation of grain and grass for the army. As for the credit for suppressing the rebellious party, it is natural that you have made the greatest contribution. The two sluts looked at each other and laughed, startling the two guards outside the door, but they admired this Staff Officer Li in their hearts, and said that this person will probably be our second leader in the future, and they must not provoke him, otherwise "little white face, no kind eyes", his own life is important.

The next night, something really happened, hundreds of imprisoned Qinggang children did not know which hero to rescue, actually rushed out of the City God Temple, trying to escape from the city, fortunately, Tong Huchen Tong found it in time when he patrolled, mobilized a team of self-improvement troops in the urn city to surround the chaotic party, and couldn't help but say that there was a burst of random shooting. This night, the big guillotine knife of the surrounding two or three hotels to feed the horses were borrowed by the soldiers, and they were busy working for half a night in the urn city, and when the guillotine was returned the next day, the innkeeper found that the guillotine with a good steel mouth was rolled up, and the bloody breath lingered, if the weather did not get colder, I was afraid that the flies would blow the rallying call.

As soon as the day dawned, the peasants who came to Taizhou to catch the market from all over the country were also surprised to find that although they did not hear any red differences, there were actually 100 freshly baked rebel party leaders hanging at the gate of the city, grinning and dying. Three days after the corpse was exposed, these heads would naturally be put into a lime jar by the messenger of the prefect's yamen and sent to the capital to report their merits and ask for rewards.

Tong Huchen Tong, who had been busy all night, was refreshed, and invited the Li Jin brothers to return to their residence in the city together, planning to arrange for the maid to serve his brother well, and then have some secret drama with the third room. As soon as the curtain was lifted, the two team officers who were betrayed by themselves and the white-faced scholar Wu Shigu sitting on the Taishi chair were actually the two team members who were betrayed by themselves. In the end, it was a military attache from the new army, Tong Huchen knew that something was wrong, and he was about to retreat, but he was faster than the people behind him, and the blade of a military * stab had already penetrated from his chest. Tong Huchen vomited blood in his mouth, lying on the steps with his back to the sky, watching Brother Li Jin, who was talking and laughing with him yesterday, let go of the handle of the military stab, stepped over his corpse and discussed with Wu Shigu how to pull the team out of Taizhou, completely treating him as a dead man.

"Lord Wu's secret agent is a revolutionary party? Is Lord Wu also a revolutionary? But how can the revolutionary party fight the revolutionary party again? "It's a pity that only he Tong took these questions to the Netherworld to figure it out.

Three days later, Jingshi received an urgent report from Taizhou, the rebellious self-improvement army was a standard, not only surrendered and rebelled, but also killed Tong Huchen and other loyal people, and took advantage of the opportunity for the new army of Wuyi to go to the countryside to clear the remnants of the rebellious party to leave Taizhou City, since then this rebel army under the leadership of the revolutionaries led by Wu Shigu crisscrossed the two Huai, coerced the people, slaughtered salt merchants, plundered assets, and turned the rich Lianghuai into a place of war and chaos. In order to exterminate this stubborn bandits, the Wuyi New Army also had to continue to garrison Lianghuai and focus on suppressing bandits, but due to the lack of military spending, it implored the imperial court to allocate military funds as soon as possible.
