Both teams arrived at the parade stand at the same time and were reprimanded.

One is the Japanese army, almost everyone is "red all over", either two shots, or three shots, some people are even stranger, almost full of red light, some of them have bandages on their heads, hanging their arms, that is really injured. Others, who have not been able to return to the world, have been killed by the skin of a cannonball. What's even more relieving is that Captain Nakano was tied up by the five flowers, and was suddenly pushed to the front of the battle by several New Army soldiers.

The commander of Lieutenant General Sato's division jumped three times in anger, brandished his command knife and shouted loudly: "Baga, Baga, big Baga, the majesty of the Japanese soldiers, all of them have been lost, all of them have been lost!" ”

Although only 6 or 700 of the officers and men of the New Army were not injured, they were all in good spirits and full of spirit, and they lined up in a neat line to be reviewed. The five captains gracefully embraced Gong Ren to the front of the stage and accepted Yuan Shikai's instructions.

Foreign military attachés stationed in China were now impressed by the Chinese army, and some gave a thumbs up and shouted in a weird manner: "China's new army is amazing!" The delegates from the provinces raised their eyebrows even more, their chests were straightened, and their heads were raised. All the reporters' lights were aimed at the two different teams, and the flashing lights were constantly flashing, sometimes in a single group.

The dignitaries of the Qing court on the parade stand had a different look. Tie Liang walked to the front of the stage at this time, looking arrogant, looking at the embarrassed Japanese army, with a contemptuous smile in his eyes. Yi Miao also smiled at this time, stroked his sparse goatee and asked Tie Liang: "Ask the great military strategist, what tactics did this public soldier use just now to defeat the Japanese army, I really don't understand, can I ask the military strategist to explain." ”

Tie Liang deliberately pondered for a while and said, "As for any tactics?" In my opinion, it is not any German offensive and defensive tactics at all, it seems to be a Chinese tactic. Yi Miao asked again: "What kind of Chinese tactics are they?" Tie Liang had no choice but to say, "I haven't figured it out yet. ”

At this time, Yuan Shikai was fully dressed in military uniform, stared at a pair of vicious eyes, and walked down the parade platform with big leather boots and standard military steps, and shouted in front of Gong Ren: "Gong Bing Guan Belt, please report on the battle situation." ”

Gong Ren "boasted" a standard military salute, and then reported: "Report to Lord Yuan, after three battles, an infantry brigade and an artillery squadron of the Japanese army were completely annihilated, and the captain of the Nakano brigade was captured. As soon as he finished speaking, the arms of the two New Army soldiers were pushed, one of the soldiers stumbled under his feet, Nakano stood unsteadily, and the other gnawed mud with his mouth, and fell in front of Yuan Shikai, his mouth and face were full of dirt, and two teeth were lost.

Yuan Shikai didn't even look at Nakano, and continued to listen to Gong Ren's report.

Gong Ren continued: "Our army suffered 281 casualties, and 11 were actually killed and wounded. After speaking, his neck straightened, and he looked like he was being killed.

Several team officers were a little puzzled, obviously they had won a big victory, why did they ask for punishment, and they looked at each other with puzzled eyes.

At this time, Wang Dayan glanced at Li Si and the others, and straightened the rifle on his back tightly, which means that as long as you dare to execute Gong Ren, it is a coach bullet, then we will also beat you dozens of "red flowers", and you will also be killed if you collapse. Ni Yingdian's whole body trembled, as long as Yuan Shikai was not good for the public, he would open his mouth and shout to encourage the soldiers to rebel.

Yuan Shikai smiled sinisterly: "Punishment or not, I'll talk about it later, now, I just need you to tell me, how did you fight these three battles?" ”

Not only Yuan Shikai was confused, but Tie Liang also didn't understand, at this time he had already arrived in front of Gong Ren, pricked up his ears, and listened to Gong Ren's explanation. Yi Miao, standing behind Tie Liang, was also listening attentively, and heard directly that it was much better than this braggart Tie Liang's random explanation. Military attachés from various countries also came to the front of Gong Ren to find out what the mystery of this victory was. As for the reporters, some of them were taking pictures, and some of them took out small notebooks, and the first sentence of Gong Ren was probably worth a thousand gold in their hands.

Gong Ren said slowly: "We lost the first two battles, to be honest, the Japanese army is well-trained, the will to fight is resolute, and the tactical literacy is scientific and reasonable. In the first battle, we used movement warfare, looking for fighters in the movement, and the opportunity finally came, there was a path in the wetland, the infantry moved slowly, and the artillery that followed the infantry could not be avoided. Artillery is the god of war, and whoever masters artillery will master the powerful firepower to suppress the opponent. In this battle, we got rid of the Japanese artillery, and after we got rid of the Japanese artillery, our infantry still didn't have much advantage, so we could only continue to retreat.

During the retreat, we were afraid that the Japanese army would not take the bait and not come after us, so we used small forces to attack and anger the Japanese army, and in the engagement, we deliberately showed weakness to lure the Japanese army. In the second battle, the mountain ambush, we annihilated most of the Japanese forces, which gave us an advantage in numbers. Why put the enemy a yard, I think the decisive battle with the Japanese army, before the time comes, the Japanese army still has considerable combat effectiveness.

When the Japanese army broke and fled, we pursued it closely, and we must not allow the Japanese army any respite. As for the blocking on the hill, I put the troops in advance, because I predicted that the Japanese army would have to break and flee, and it would have to pass through the hill. In fact, only one platoon of Wang Dayan was blocked by the Japanese army, plus the only two heavy machine guns in the whole battalion. The firepower of two heavy machine guns can fully withstand the firepower of two platoons of infantry. After encircling the Japanese army, at the final decisive moment, we used all our troops, men and horsemen, all of them, and with our superior forces and our strong will to fight, we finally annihilated the enemy army. ”

After Gongren finished speaking, all the listeners were still unsatisfied, and they were still pricking up their ears to listen, as if they were listening to the Book of Heaven. It took a long time for the reporters to give warm applause, followed by warm applause from all the officers and soldiers, warm applause from military attachés from various countries, warm applause from all officials on the parade platform, and even Yuan Shikai slapped him twice.

Everyone was so excited that their faces were flushed and excited, and they were all looking forward to the next step Yuan Shikai would reward all the officers and soldiers who participated in the battle.

Yuan Shikai's face suddenly sank, and he yelled at Gong Ren fiercely: "Gong Bing, are you guilty!?" ”

Gong Ren had already been mentally prepared, and said with a slight sneer: "Who has not died in life since ancient times, and left Dan to take care of Han Qing." I've been ready for a long time, please execute quickly. ”

At this moment, the five team officers are confused again, and it doesn't matter if they don't award for their great achievements, why do they still have to be executed, even if a few pipe bands that lost the battle just now were not beheaded? The reporters didn't understand it, and one by one they aimed public opinion at Yuan Shikai, and asked: "Please explain Lord Yuan, what is the crime of the public soldiers?" "What kind of law did he break?" Foreign military attachés and provincial representatives were even more puzzled, and they wanted to understand, "What is going on, what is going on?" "Please explain to Master Yuan."

Tie Liang couldn't stand it anymore, and whispered to Lord Yuan: "This person is a hero!" If you don't understand the reason, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public. ”

Yuan Shikai smiled coldly and said, "This person turned out to be a bandit!" "Yuan Shikai is quite smart, he didn't say that Gongren is a revolutionary party, if he wants to say that he is a revolutionary party, Gongren will never survive.

As soon as this remark came out, it caused an uproar. The five team officers didn't understand at first, you look at me, I look at you, and they all frowned, when did such a young pipe band become a bandit? Foreign military attachés and representatives of various provinces did not understand and chattered with each other and discussed non-stop.

The new army soldiers led by Gong Ren were in chaos inside, and grievances began to brew under the soldiers. Ni Yingdian was the first to attack and shouted: "The public manager is a good officer, without him, we can't win the battle." Wang Dayan gave a look, and Li Si and Zhang San shouted: "Such a good chief, why do you say that he is a bandit, we will resolutely follow the public management." Otherwise, we're the opposite. "Some raised their guns and shook them in the air. Some are even full of complaints: "If you win a battle, you don't have a prize, how can there be a reason to cut off your head, what kind of royal law is this?" "Nothing to do? Got down to business? "Order seems to be a little out of control.

Feng Guozhang leaned close to Yuan Shikai's ear and said: "Big brother, we finally won one battle in three battles, even if he turned out to be a bandit, can we take it in, why not let such a good general go?" Tie Liang leaned close to Yuan Shikai's ear and said, "Lord Yuan's subordinates are merciful, otherwise, this person will forget it for me." (He will pick up foreign fish) Yi Miao also came to join in the fun: "Lord Yuan, Lord Yuan, keep this person first, if Lafayette looks for me to win the battle, how can I explain?" ”

Yuan Shikai thought about it, how could such a smart person not think of the stakes in all aspects. He cleared his throat and said: "Although the public management belt used to be a bandit, but this time he has made great contributions to the court. The public is commanded. ”

Gong Ren had no choice but to salute and stand upright. Whether it is dead or alive, that's it, Gongren has already looked down on life and death.

Yuan Shikai said: "Didn't you use the escrow belt, this time, I will take your code and order you to be the fifth battalion pipe belt, and reward 100 taels of silver." Officers above the head of the shed will be promoted to one level each, and a reward of 10 taels of silver. All the rest of the soldiers who participated in the battle were given a meritorious service and a reward of 5 taels of silver. Soldiers who have been wounded and sacrificed their lives shall have their own bereavement pensions in accordance with the relevant regulations. ”

The officers and soldiers participating in the battle below were jubilant. Some shouted: "We eat Yuan Gongbao's food, and we fight for Yuan Gongbao." ”

Gongren's mind was blank, but he didn't expect to pick up a life in vain this time, and he was exceptionally promoted to the camp management belt. Ni Yingdian breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat on his head. Wang Dayan put the rifle he was holding in his hand back. Li Si, Zhang San and others clapped their hands in congratulations.

The officers and soldiers were happy, Yuan Shikai stared at the public with deep eyes and said seriously: "The public management belt, I should have let go of everything, you should understand in your heart, I hope you cherish yourself, but don't destroy your future!" ”

At this time, Gong Ren couldn't say anything, so he had to say: "I must train hard and serve the country." ”

Yuan Shikai nodded and said with a smile: "You just need to follow me, the high-ranking officials can do it, the horses can be ridden, and the silver dollars can be taken." If you do the opposite, then you have a good look. ”

Gong Ren nodded slightly and remained silent.

Yuan Shikai shouted again: "Zhao Siying." ”

An officer in the queue shouted, "Yes." Then he ran over and gave a military salute to Yuan Shikai.

Yuan Shikai said to him: "You will be the leader of the fifth battalion, and you will help the public in the future." ”

Zhao Siying shouted: "Yes", and gave another military salute to Yuan Shikai.

Gong Ren thought to himself: "Yuan Shikai is a good person, how can he rest assured of himself, and found a dog to watch me." ”

After the review was over, Gong Ren took out the 100 taels of bounty he had received and invited all the officers and soldiers in the battalion to eat and drink. At this moment, the officers and soldiers in the battalion admired the public tenacity even more, and none of them said that the public soldiers were not in good hands. Ni Yingdian even took two platoon-level officers to find Gong Ren, and when they met, they saw that there was no one in the camp, and they immediately knelt down for Gong Ren. Gong Ren was a little puzzled for a while, and said: "Don't be like this, don't be like this, we are a military camp, and we want to salute the army, how can we casually do the people's big salute?" ”

Ni Yingdian said: "These are my two sworn brothers, one is Li Jinglian, the other is Guo Renzhang, this time through your leading troops to fight, the command is well, I really admire you, amazing, I have to worship you as a brother of the opposite sex." Please don't embarrass me, big brother! ”

Gong Ren looked at the two of them carefully, and saw that Li Jinglian was born with five big and three thick, with a loyal face, while Guo Renzhang was a rat-eyed roe deer, with a pair of small eyes in the big eye sockets, he was really a villain, and he didn't dare to work with him. But Gong Ren thought about it, there are a lot of people who have been sworn to him as brothers in the past two days, so what's the matter with two more, let's not pull him over, if he goes to the opposite side, wouldn't it be more troublesome. Gong Ren had no choice but to say: "Okay, since the brothers look up to me, let's worship as brothers." ”

Li Jinglian was so happy that he grinned and said: "In the future, I will follow the eldest brother, as long as you shout, the sea of fire will dare to go up, and the sword mountain will dare to break through." Guo Renzhang said happily: "In the future, we will keep up with the eldest brother, and with the ability of the eldest brother, we will definitely be able to make a fortune and become a high-ranking official." If we are developed, we must not forget the benefits of big brother! ”

At that moment, the four of them set up incense altars and worshiped as brothers with different surnames.

When no one was around, Gongren called Wang Dayan aside and said to him, "Big brother, what do you think of the current situation?" ”

Wang Dayan said happily: "I think it's very good, you have been promoted to the pipe band, and the men and horses of this battalion are under your command." When the time comes, you will give an order and lead this battalion to kill them, and from then on, we will erect the banner of revolution and fight to the death with the Qing army. ”

Gong Ren shook his head, smiled bitterly, and said, "Where, where, I think it's extremely dangerous now." ”

Wang Dayan's eyes widened, and he asked strangely: "What are you talking about, why don't I understand?" ”

Gong Ren said: "It turns out that we are in the dark, and Yuan Shikai is in the light, just enough to move the soldiers." Now it's okay, we have fallen into the light, Yuan Shikai has fallen in the dark, if he calculates us, we will not be able to escape. What am I doing at the moment, there is always Zhao Siying watching, what is the situation no longer dangerous? ”

When Wang Dayan heard this, he also became nervous, frowned and asked, "What do you say we should do?" ”

Gong Ren said: "At present, the most difficult thing for us is bullets, without bullets, the rifle is really a burning stick, it is not as good as a big knife." And at present, although I am a battalion manager, but the vast majority of soldiers are Yuan Shikai's people, and I think that we are all born and died for Yuan Shikai, and we are soldiers to fight, once we pull the flag and rebel, how many people can follow us? Therefore, there are three major tasks at present, one is that we must control the arsenal, without which we are nothing. The second is to contact friends, but at present, we have only contacted dozens of people, and I am afraid that these dozens of people may not be able to follow at that time. There is also the need to pull the team out as soon as possible, the night is long and the dream is long, and the time is long, I am afraid that I will not be able to keep the secret, and I am really afraid that our people will be served by the pot. ”

When Wang Dayan heard Gong Ren say this, he was really nervous in his heart, and felt that the barracks were calm on the surface, your brother and my brother, but in fact, maybe when, it was the sword and the sword, and the sound of killing. After a pause, Wang Dayan asked again: "When do you want to set the time for the uprising?" ”

Gong Ren thought for a while and said, "Three days, let's move for another three days, and after three days, we must revolt." I see that the water in Yuan Shikai's barracks can't be splashed in, the knife can't be inserted, and if it's too late, I'm afraid we will die without a place to bury. ”
