After taking Yuechi, the 1st Regiment of the Protector Army soon held a post-war summary meeting.

At the meeting, the regiment commander He Zengzhi spoke highly of the resolute assault of the second company of the 10th Battalion built by Chonghou on the city wall, believing that they had closed the north gate in time, the main escape route of the Yuechi local tyrants, psychologically destroyed the enemy's determination to resist, and established the first merit of the Yuechi battle. More importantly, the exploits of the 2nd Company reversed the bad impact caused by the defeat of the 10th Battalion and even the 1st Regiment in the battle of Guangmenpu, and won back the opportunity for the 10th Battalion to become the main battalion of the National Protector Army again. Therefore, the 10th battalion will be replenished on a priority basis.

With the commitment of the regimental commander, the 2nd Company of the 10th Battalion, together with the entire battalion, was quickly replenished with personnel and equipment. From the 28th month of the 14th year of Chongzhen to the 23rd day of the first month of the 15th year, in the past month, the 10th battalion became full and vigorous again. The new reinforcements included officers and soldiers from Zhao Ronggui's troops, regimental training from Hezhou, and more Ding Zhuang, who was coerced by local tyrants in Yuechi.

After putting on the uniforms of the Protector Army, these Ding Zhuang strongly demanded that the burn scars on their foreheads or faces be removed, but the military headquarters issued an order stating that it was not medically, temporally or politically feasible to remove the burn scars at present. Only when the whole Sichuan is calmed down in the future and there is ample time for repairs can the traces of the people who were once coerced by the local riots be removed on a large scale. At present, the more important thing is to strengthen the training of the troops, prepare for a new large-scale battle, and take revenge on the local tyrants.

In addition to the replenishment of soldiers, the second company was reinforced by a large number of cadres.

A junior officer named Yao Chengguo, who was said to have fought in the war, had just been transferred from the military headquarters of the superintendent to serve as the supervisor of the second company. As soon as this energetic young prison soldier arrived at the company, he announced that his nickname was Yao Erwa. The soldier could call him a big name, a small name, and a position, and he didn't care. But if a soldier is greedy for life and afraid of death, robs the people, and violates military discipline, he cares very much.

Soon, the soldiers of the second company knew that Yao Jianjun did not give them a joke. On the seventh day of the first lunar month, a few days ago, a deputy squad leader of Zhao Bu's post was shopping in the city outside the north gate and took a steamed bun. The boss didn't comply, and the deputy squad leader hit him with two big ears, so the situation escalated. Yao Chengguo took immediate action, he wrote a report to the battalion headquarters, requesting the organization of a military trial. Li Cunliang, deputy director of the National Protector Army and supervisor of the First Regiment, thought that the incident was very educational for strict military discipline, so he decided to try it in public.

Three days later, the military court held a grand trial on the tower of the North Gate of Yuechi County, and representatives of all battalions and companies under the first regiment were sent to attend the hearing. The gentry and common people of Yuechi, especially the old and young masters from the north gate of the city, stood on the city wall to the full, and even the city tower was full of people, and many even climbed the roofs and treetops to look.

The military tribunal consisted of seven people. Units at the regimental, battalion, and company levels sent one officer and one soldier each to serve as judges, and Li Cunliang, deputy chief of the National Protector Army and supervisor of the First Regiment, personally served as the chief judge. Yao Chengguo, as the supervisor of the defendant's unit, naturally acted as a prosecutor.

During the trial, Yao Chengguo accused the deputy squad leader of violating Article 3 of the three major military disciplines: "You must not commit adultery and plunder the common people," and he should be beheaded according to military law.

Such a severe accusation did not make the deputy squad leader who committed the crime panic. He defended that he did not mean to take the people's food for nothing, but only to eliminate harm for the people. This boss has always been short of catties, and the evidence is that the steamed buns on his stall are smaller than those of other merchants!

The testimony of other merchants and the statements of the boss himself also seemed to support the defendant's defense: the boss had bought some bread of grain from other places and mixed it with rice flour. Rice is produced in Yuechi, and it is not common to wrap grain, so cheap rice flour is more expensive than rice flour. Relying on this hand, this boss not only made money, but also squeezed the business of the surrounding snack bars.

Just when Li Cunliang was worried about whether the level of a company supervising the army could deal with such an officer and army veteran, Yao Chengguo showed his true ability.

Yao Chengguo loudly pointed out that the so-called "kidnapping" in military discipline is robbery; The so-called "people" are law-abiding and good people. The boss who sells steamed buns clearly marks the price, operates according to the law, and makes money by labor and wisdom, that is, he is a law-abiding and good citizen; And this deputy squad leader took the boss's food and did not give money, which is robbery. If there is really a need for the so-called "eradication of harm for the people," then the deputy squad leader should obey the orders of his superiors, the platoon commander, deputy platoon commander, or squad leader, before acting, otherwise he has violated the first article of military discipline, "obey military orders in all actions" and will be punished in accordance with military law.

Yao Chengguo's debating skills are not complicated, but the veteran ruffian was stupid in place, no

Know how to answer.

Yao Chengguo took advantage of the victory to pursue and sent a soldier named Niu Mancang to testify. Niu Mancang had a large burn scar on his face, and as soon as he came up, he reported it to the military court and the people who were observing: The deputy squad leader has always bullied men and women with knives and guns in his hands. Three days ago, the deputy squad leader had coerced a young woman into having sex because the woman's man had run away with the thugs. When the deputy squad leader was doing that, he also forced him to watch the wind nearby.

Afterwards, the deputy squad leader threatened him that if he dared to speak out, he would let him die first on the battlefield. He had been a thief, had a scar on his face, and felt inferior, so he failed to report it in time. Later, after the enlightenment of Yao Jianjun, he understood the responsibilities of the Protector Army, and also understood that the Protector Army did not discriminate against the soldiers who participated in the soil riots, so he bravely stood up today to eliminate this harm for the Protector Army.

Truth.

The deputy squad leader was immediately sentenced to beheading, and he was executed immediately, and Yao Chengguo also established his prestige among the soldiers. But before the recruits of the second company completed all the training subjects, the second company received the order to go to battle.

……

In the middle of the night on the 22nd day of the first month of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, the second company of the 10th battalion received an order to be incorporated into the task force led by the prince himself, and immediately dispatched to Baoning Mansion to quell Wang Chaoyang's mutiny.

After intense preparations, early the next morning, 180 officers and men of the 2nd Company of the 10th Battalion set out on the road in the cold morning light.

Because it was a secret operation, they did not have time to say goodbye to the officers and men of the battalion, and only the battalion commander Yin Jialin, the battalion supervisor Zhu Pingqi, and the commander of the third company, Fang Dingxuan, came to see them off.

The grapevine in the camp said that all three were promoted. Yin Jialin's original rank was the main regiment, and this time, his new position is the deputy captain of the Shun Protection Zhuang Corps and the captain of the Guang'an Brigade; And Zhu Pingqi was promoted to the deputy regiment and served as the deputy supervisor of the Chongqing Huzhuang Corps, and served as a deputy for his father. Fang Dingxuan was promoted to deputy battalion commander and acting battalion commander, replacing Yin Jialin in charge of the 10th battalion.

Yin Jialin and Zhu Pingqi were extremely grateful to Yang Tianbo for restoring the reputation of the 10th Battalion in the Battle of Yuechi. Together, the two of them made the last major decision of their tenure: to assign a new Tiger Squat gun to the 10th Battalion to the 2nd Company, along with the artillery crew. Although Fang Dingxuan was reluctant, he had a friend of the left guard in the Firearms Bureau, so he knew that the new artillery would be sent down soon. As a result, Fang Dingxuan, who is known for his iron rooster in the left guard, greatly supported Boss Yin's decision.

On the evening of the 24th day of the first month of the 15th year of Chongzhen, the 2nd Company of the 10th Battalion, which had been marching continuously for two days, successfully arrived on the other side of the Shunqing Fu River. According to the order, the second company was to cross the Jialing River and repair at Shunqing Province, while consolidating the defense of Shunqing City, while waiting for the follow-up troops.

However, just as the fleet was about to leave the shore, a warrant from Feng Rubao, the former deputy commander of the Third Company and now the commander of the task force, appeared in front of the two company commanders.

The route of the march was changed. The 2nd Company of the 10th Battalion did not pass the Jialing River, but turned to Xinzheng Dam, Tumenchang and Jincheng Town;

The object of combat has also changed. It is no longer Wang Chaoyang's rebels, but their old adversary: the local tyrants;

The mission has changed: as the vanguard of the task force, march into the Golden Walled City and relieve the siege of Bazhou!

Yang Tianbo and Yao Chengguo couldn't figure out what was going on, but they still quickly mobilized the soldiers according to Feng Rubao's orders, and then turned around and headed for Pengzhou.

On the 26th of the first month, the 2nd Company of the 10th Battalion arrived in Pengzhou and found a guide for the company and the follow-up troops. Early the next morning, the 2nd Company of the 10th Battalion once again embarked on a long journey.

Out of Pengzhou, a long road is along the left bank of the Jialing River.

Company commander Yang Tianbo followed the guide in front of the whole company, looking at the scenery on both sides of the strait with great interest. Hearing that last year, Chen Youfu Luo Jingyun's third battalion went north to Xinzheng Dam, and this is the way he went, so he asked the guide about it.

The guide is a middle-aged man with a white cloth wrapped around his head and a very strong body. Looking at his bronzed muscles, you know that he has been running on the river for many years.

The guide was like a saw-beaked gourd, and didn't say a word all the way. couldn't stand Yang Tianbo's continuous questioning, and finally a sentence came out at this time.

"Listen to my sister-in-law, your caravan has been changed to the Protector Army. Those officers and soldiers will also be changed to the Protector Army, and you and the officers and soldiers will ......."

Yang Tianbo waved his hand and replied without hesitation.

"The Protector is the Protector Caravan! That's a change of soup and not a change of medicine! The officials and soldiers couldn't fight, and there was no food, so they had to let the Shu Wangfu take it in. In my opinion, there will be no official army in Sichuan in the future, only one

Army: The Protector Army is under the command of our son! Yang Tianbo said, with a proud face.

"Then the official army will listen to the orders of the prince in the future?" The guide reconfirmed.

Yao Chengguo, the company supervisor who came up to join the dialogue, understood the guide's thoughts.

"Of course! The officials and soldiers were paid by the Shu Palace. But that's conditional: if they don't listen to the dispatch and don't abide by military discipline, they will be severely punished according to the military discipline of our Shu Wangfu! ”

Hearing that it was the official army that had been merged into the Protector Army, the guide suddenly became silent.

"That's a good feeling! That's a good feeling! ”

"Our prison army is a well-known black-faced Bao Gong, if a soldier violates military discipline, you just have to look for him!" Yang Tianbo pointed at Yao Chengguo and smiled at the guide.

"Our company commander is a combat hero personally cultivated by the prince!" Yao Chengguo did not show weakness, "I can release the gun immediately, and I can make a spear." With a bayonet, you can drive seven thugs off the city wall and break the dog's legs! ”

Yang Tianbo and Yao Chengguo praised each other, but let the guide nod vigorously.

"You are all heroes, and the officers and soldiers of the caravan are not bad breeds! My father pulled fiber for the caravan last September, but he didn't expect the boat rider to work as a coolie with the fiber puller. The tall soldier next to my father who pulled the fiber later learned that it was Camp Commander Chen! Battalion Commander Chen, who defeated the tyrant in Changping Mountain! ”

"Oh, it turns out that your father knows Camp Commander Chen!" Yao Chengguo laughed, revealing a row of white and shiny teeth, "It's just that Camp Commander Chen is now Commander Chen!" He will also be a brigade commander and division commander in the future! ”

"The people chosen by the prince are all heavenly soldiers and generals like Zhang Sanye!"

Most of the people in northern Sichuan worship the fierce general Zhang Fei, and the guide is no exception.

"It's a pity that there are too many local thugs in the mountains, and you soldiers can't kill them all!"

"Who said that?" An officer with triangular eyes and eyebrows behind them shouted, "The prince taught us that as long as the army and the people go into battle, the world will definitely be peaceful!" ”

"Huang Sanxing, you are also pursuing progress! I can recite the quotations of the son! Yang Tianbo laughed.

The Huang Sanxing in Yang Tianbo's mouth is the street ruffian who offered his shoes on the Yuechi City Wall to surprise the enemy, the famous Huang Jingang, and the famous Huang Sanxing on the streets of Chengdu. Because of his slippery head and meritorious combat skills, he was elected by the soldiers as a deputy platoon commander. However, there are also people who are not convinced by him. For example, another soldier exposed him at the election meeting, saying that he had peeked at a woman taking a bath on a certain day in a certain year, month, and year. The woman sued Weili, and he was beaten for three days by the lord of a hundred households.

Of course, Yang Tianbo knew what kind of goods his subordinates were in the group, and felt that Huang Sanxing was also a boutique among the scum, so he tried his best to override public opinion and let him be the head of the army.

Huang Sanxing didn't care about the company commander's sarcasm, but replied very proudly: "That's!" I memorize the quotations of the prince well, a small step in three days, and a big step in March! Why? The words of the prince of the world, one sentence is up to 10,000 sentences! ”

"Where's your father?" Yao Chengguo didn't want to talk to Huang Sanxing, so he asked the guide.

"My dad ......"

When asked about his father, the guide's face immediately collapsed, and a stream of tears suddenly welled up.

"My dad...... On the thirteenth day of the twelfth lunar month last year, the local thugs of the dog day suddenly rushed into our Shijia Village. My dad didn't run away and was buried alive by a thug! My mother and I were picking mulberry in the mountains, and we escaped! ”

"Really? What about the rest of your family? What about the people in the village? Yang Tianbo asked with concern.

"My family is fine except for my dad. The three girls entered the weaving bureau last year and worked in the weaving workshop in Pengzhou; The two younger brothers were in the Pengzhou village protection team, and I heard that they drove to Qu County somewhere to fight the local thugs. My mother's legs and feet are inconvenient, and I am the boss, so I have to stay at home, pull fiber in my spare time, and farm and raise silkworms when I am busy. Pity the villagers in the village, dozens of people were killed and injured at once! Now in our Shi Village, Ding Zhuang is the only one left! As he spoke, the guide clenched his fist. The fist shook, as if it had tremendous power but nowhere to focus.

"We, the Protectors, will avenge your father and the villagers!" Yang Tianbo gritted his teeth and said.

"Yes, blood debt and blood payment!" Yao Chengguo also hated.

The army advanced along winding mountain roads. Soon a large town appeared on the bank of the river below the road. The guide said that it was Xiexi Town (now Jinxi Town, Peng'an County), which was famous for producing tribute wine. It's just that he hasn't been here for a long time, so I don't know if there are anyone else in the town.

Yang Tianbo ordered the whole company to rest on the spot, and asked Huang Sanxing to take a group to investigate.
