Chapter 169: Defeat of Bozhou
In mid-April, the weather was slightly warmer, and the 24th Mixed Association opened to northern Anhui, and Wang Yongtai, the commander of the 24th Mixed Association, personally led 3,000 elite soldiers into northern Anhui. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Wang Yongtai was anxious to show himself in front of Zaifeng, so after entering northern Anhui, he exaggerated his military exploits, defeated more than 200 water bandits and river bandits in Xuyi County, and reported to the imperial court that he had killed hundreds of enemies and defeated thousands. Then the troops entered Fengyang, Wang Yongtai specially ran to the Ming Emperor's Mausoleum to watch a circle, and drove the Fengyang bandits to Bozhou.
Subsequently, Wang Yongtai's army entered Mengcheng County, Bozhou, and the whole army rested for half a month.
At this time, the 24 mixed association is no longer half a year ago, Huang Bo and Yang Zhenshan are full of contradictions, Wang Yongtai played a game of checks and balances, he divided the army into three, he led the Chinese army and the baggage, Huang Bo of the left army is the general, and Yang Zhenshan of the right army is the general, stimulating the two to compete for merit. His game of checks and balances was very effective at first, with the left and right armies fighting off bandits and river bandits in Xuyi County and Fengyang County, but after coming to Bozhou, this trick did not work very well. Bozhou is located in the Huai River Basin, there are many rivers and lakes, what Xiqi River, Vortex River, Ji River, Tao River, Lu River, Xiaohong River, Gang River, Laoxi River, Wujia River, Wudaogou, Wobao River, Wohong River, Huai River, Beiqi River, Jiangwan River, Jia River, Jiaogang Lake, Huajia Lake, Daijia Lake......
Wang Yongtai rested in Mengcheng, and the reason for this was also due to the melting of ice and snow in the spring, the rising water level in the Huaihe River Valley, and the difficulty of marching.
Therefore, Wang Yongtai rested on the one hand, on the one hand, he wanted the imperial court to urge him to pay heavy food, and on the other hand, he secretly sent soldiers to inquire about the news, preparing to kill the bandits with one blow. This decision was supported by all the soldiers, after all, everyone is not familiar with life, and if there is no accurate information, they can only waste time and energy.
However, during the recuperation period, something happened to the Twenty-Four Mixed Association.
It turned out that one day when Huang Bo was resting in the city with his officers, he took a fancy to a passing girl, although this girl was an ordinary peasant girl, but she was as beautiful as a flower, which immediately made Huang Bo think of him. Strange to say, there is a particularly interesting phenomenon in East Asia, that is, women become more beautiful the further north they go, and more handsome men become the further south they go. Not to mention anything else, one of the places with the most beauties in China is Harbin, the northernmost place, and the other is Urumqi, Xinjiang, but the beauties of Urumqi are Uyghurs, Kazakhs, Ta and other white races, and the beauties of Harbin are all Han women, most of them were in the Guandongshan back then. East River. The descendants of the north are all white-skinned and beautiful with long legs - except for the small breasts (laughing but not speaking).
This is also the case in Anhui Province, the men in southern Anhui are handsome and beautiful women in northern Anhui, whether it is the Qing Dynasty or the Republic of China or the Republic, I have to admit that Anhui Province is beautiful from the north and south from the south. When the peasant girl from Mengcheng was washing clothes by the river, she heard the horse team passing by behind her, so she looked back and smiled, as if a sharp arrow was directly inserted into Huang Bo's heart, making Huang Bo almost fall off the horse in an instant.
"No, I must marry her!" Huang Bo secretly swore an oath, so he sent someone to investigate, but learned that the woman had already promised to be married, and she was just waiting to come this autumn.
Huang Bo was disappointed, but in a blink of an eye, he thought about how difficult it was for him to snatch a woman from a peasant family as a military general of the Qing Dynasty. So Huang Bo forced the man's family to repent of his marriage, and then spent money to propose marriage, as for forcibly robbing the people's daughter, he Huang Bo disdained it.
It's a pity that although the man's Wang family is not a wealthy family in Mengcheng, they have many relatives, and the kid named Wang Ping will not turn his brain, and he has identified his fiancée, no matter what conditions Huang Bo expells, he resolutely refuses to regret the marriage.
Huang Bo was furious and threatened: "One day I will make you regret it after all." ”
Unexpectedly, that night, the girl was raped. killed, and the people then carried the corpse to the county office. Although the Mengcheng County Commander did not dare to offend the army, he had no choice but to ask Wang Yongtai to solve the problem. Huang Bo defended himself and said that he was a military attache of the Qing Dynasty, and he wanted to marry this woman, and he would not go to ** girl in the middle of the night, he only needed to rob it, how could he sneak to the girl's house and kill her and insult the corpse.
Wang Yongtai also felt that something was wrong, this Huang Bo was not a hungry ghost who did not choose to eat, and he also saw that the woman was beaten to death many times, and if Huang Bo, the top five officer in the seventh batch of graduates of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School, made a move, he only needed to break the girl's neck, why beat him many times - how much hatred would be needed.
Mengcheng County Commander is a dead student, but it doesn't prevent him from feeling strange from it, so he sends someone to investigate. However, the people thought that the people from other provinces were biased towards the people from other provinces, so they launched a protest and stormed the county government, demanding that Huang Bo be severely punished and that he should die for his life. Fortunately, they didn't have the courage to storm the barracks, otherwise Wang Yongtai would definitely not be accustomed to this group of stupid and impulsive villagers.
The army had to be delayed in Mengcheng for several days, and after the investigation, it came to the conclusion that Huang Bo slept in the barracks that night, so he lost money to the people. And the real murderer, no one knows, maybe it is a flower thief, but it can be seen with a clear eye that Wang Yongtai wants to protect Huang Bo.
Yang Zhenshan and the others immediately disagreed, and Huang Bo just fined the money and was done? This turmoil made the Twenty-Four Mixed Association notorious in Mengcheng, even if he Huang Bo didn't kill the girl, but he also violated military regulations and affected the army, why should he just be fined? Yang Zhenshan and other officers immediately expressed their dissatisfaction and threatened that if Huang Bo was not punished, it would be intolerable.
In fact, by this time, Wang Yongtai had already understood that this was the key point in the outbreak of the contradiction between Huang Bo's party and Yang Zhenshan and others, but it was a pity that he still had to play a game of checks and balances, engage in a balance between the two sides, and let Huang Bo make meritorious contributions and directly win the two wolf mountains in Bozhou.
Huang Bo made meritorious contributions and stormed the Two Wolf Mountain, but was met with stubborn resistance from bandits. In order to support him, Wang Yongtai personally led the running association to support, and the bandit army had already laid an ambush, waiting for the artillery association to enter the trap. When Wang Yongtai led 600 artillery into the ambush circle, from the river. Nan He'an. Hui was composed of bandit teams composed of hungry people and rushed down from the mountains on both sides, mixed into the artillery group and fought with the artillery association.
Chen Jian, the commander of the Artillery Association, was shot and fell off his horse, and was trampled in the chest by a panicked war horse and died, while Wang Yongtai was shot in the back with a shotgun and was seriously wounded in the process of escaping. The artillery association was defeated, and Huang Bo and other infantry of the left army slowly retreated under the command of Xi Wusheng, but withdrew to Mengcheng safely and unmistakably.
And Wang Yongtai was seriously injured and lost too much blood and fell into a coma, and the twenty-four mixed group of dragons were leaderless, and the contradictions between Huang Bo and Yang Zhenshan were highlighted, and neither of them was convinced, so they could only wait for the military doctor Yue Wenzheng to wake up Wang Yongtai before making plans. But Wang Yongtai was in a coma for several days and did not wake up, and Yue Wenzheng told everyone that he might fall asleep from now on—that is, what the post-world call a vegetative person.
The 24 mixed up and down the army was unstable, and the officers had their own thoughts, as if they had reached the point of falling apart. (To be continued.) )
