Chapter 16 Bandit Training
Regarding the sensation that happened on the other side of the ocean, Xiao Mubai, who was concentrating on military training at this time, had no idea. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
This morning, Xiao Mubai and Yan Weidong stood next to the school field as always and watched the patrol battalion have morning exercises, when they saw that after more than three months of training, well-equipped, sufficient ammunition, and the soldiers who had begun to show their strong military temperament, not only Xiao Mubai was more and more satisfied, but even Yan Weidong was more and more happy, and he smiled happily all day long.
"Boss Yan, Mo Chunlin, the pipe band of the Fuzhou Patrol Battalion, are you familiar with this person?" Just when Yan Weidong fell into infinite longing, Xiao Mubai next to him asked lightly.
Hearing Xiao Mubai's question, Yan Weidong, who came back to his senses, understood in his heart that Xiao Mubai was going to attack the Fuzhou Patrol Battalion.
I saw that after he groaned for a while, he replied: "Back to the adult, Mo Chunlin is a little not simple. He is from the Zhuang nationality, now in his forties, and when he was young, he also participated in the Sino-French War in the Guangxu year, and his accumulated military merits were promoted to the current patrol team management band. is not only heroic and generous, but he also has another layer of identity, that is, the head of the Zhuang cottage in Fuzhou. Of course, because he was born in the Zhuang nationality, most of the patrol teams under his command are soldiers of various ethnic minorities. Although he was ostracized among his colleagues because of this, and the soldiers under his command did not live very well, their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated. I have a bit of a friendship with him. ”
Hearing Yan Weidong's reply, Xiao Mubai suddenly had a plan in his heart. After half a ring, he asked again: "Boss Yan, then please go to Fuzhou and bring him a message for me, just say that I am waiting for him in Baoning." What do you think? ”
"That's fine." Yan Weidong responded without hesitation.
Two days later, Yan Weidong took Mo Chunlin to the gate of the patrol team's camp alone. Mo Chunlin began to look at everything here with a novel eye, and when he saw the Mauser rifle exuding blue brilliance in the hands of the guards at the camp gate, his eyes couldn't help but show envy.
"Don't worry about it, I'm really sorry that I couldn't visit your place in person!" After Xiao Mubai walked out of the camp gate, he arched his hand and said to Mo Chunlin, who was wearing a military attache uniform.
"The commander is polite, it is the lower official who failed to come to visit, please forgive me!"
"Where! Where! ”
"I brought some local products from the mountains this time, just a little heart, although it is some simple things, I hope the commander can laugh at it."
"Where, where, don't worry about being polite, please inside, please inside."
"Excuse me! Disturb! ”
Entering the room, after several people served tea, Xiao Mubai said to Mo Chunlin straight to the point: "Mo Guandao, I think Lao Yan has already told you a lot of things about me, and Mo Guandao also has a relevant personality for me." In this way, we don't have to go around the bush anymore and talk openly. ”
"Lord Commander, refresh! Okay, I came this time, there are a few very important questions, and I have always been bothered by a few questions to ask the commander" Obviously, Xiao Mubai's words just now were very good for the temper of this Zhuang man.
"Please." Xiao Mubai was also a little curious.
"There are most Zhuang, Miao, Yao and other soldiers in my battalion, can the commander treat them equally in the future?"
"This one is natural."
"Does the Commander think that there can really be equality between nations?"
Xiao Mubai pondered for a moment before answering, "There are two aspects to this question. The first is ideological equality, but it is difficult to achieve equality in everyone's mind, but it can take time to achieve. As for the second, which is equality in law, this one is easy to do; First of all, the previous laws were not equal, the Han people only punished the Miao people and Yao people for breaking the law, and the Miao people and Yao people were responsible for the serious crimes of the Han people for breaking the law. The law is to be equal to all, and to punish everyone fairly, regardless of who breaks the law. ”
"How can the Lord do the true justice of the law?"
"First of all, the formulation of the law requires the joint participation of people of all nationalities, and on the premise of seeking common ground while reserving differences, mutual understanding and mutual understanding, regardless of the princes and nobles, regardless of the people and the weakness, as long as they violate the law jointly formulated by everyone, they will all be punished according to the provisions of the law."
"Are there any exceptions to that? For example, some of the taboos of my clan? ”
"Special case? No. For the national taboos that Mo Guan said, I said earlier, seeking common ground while reserving differences, mutual understanding and mutual understanding, every ethnic group has customs that outsiders do not understand, for the taboos of some nationalities, it is verified that foreigners have violated it, it is indeed unintentional to violate, and it should be lightly punished, after all, those who do not know are not guilty, but it is found to be wanton provocation, blatant insult, and the punishment will be increased! I wonder if such a law can lead you to understand and agree? ”
After Mo Chunlin listened, he didn't reply immediately, but turned his face to wipe away the tears that had been holding back the tears that had been rolling in his eyes, and after stabilizing his emotions, he suddenly knelt down on his knees and said: "I, Mo Chunlin, am willing to follow the commander to the death in this life and this life, and I will never give up!" ”
Although Xiao Mubai thought that the classic premise of seeking common ground while reserving differences, mutual understanding and mutual understanding, which was advocated by later prime ministers, was a great policy for resolving contradictions, he did not expect that the people in front of him would be so excited and moved.
"Why are you doing this?"
"Lord Commander, no one will think about us strong people, no one has ever been, only the Commander you speak for us now and seek our benefits."
"Don't worry about it, you're wrong!!" After helping Mo Chunlin up, Xiao Mubai sat back in his chair and said, "First of all, if you still kneel and kowtow so easily, you will put yourself in an inferior position. Who are you? You are the head of the Zhuang cottage, the pipe belt of the first battalion of the patrol battalion, leading the people below I don't know how many! We are all upright men who stand up to the sky, kneeling down to our parents, no one can bully our heads, how can we kneel casually? ”
"Again! You also have to remember! We are all equal, and none of us are born with one less bone than others! ”
After Xiao Mubai finished speaking, not only Mo Chunlin, who listened to it, was moved, but even Yan Weidong next to him was also emotional.
Two days later, after sending Mo Chunlin away, Xiao Mubai looked at the horse team that gradually disappeared into the mountains, and said to Yan Weidong beside him: "Boss Yan, I will trouble you to take a few people to Fuzhou, follow the example of our Baoning patrol team, and train them well for two months." ”
After finishing speaking, Xiao Mubai turned around and left, leaving only Yan Weidong, who was still a little unreasonable.
・・・・・・
Time flies, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye
After three months of training, not only the Baoning patrol team, but even the Fuzhou patrol team have undergone qualitative changes. Now they are full of vigor and high morale, and they have changed the casual and decadent style of the past, and have the rudiments of a strong army, and all that is lacking is the tempering of blood and fire.
On this day, after Xiao Mubai asked Yan Weidong and Mo Chunlin to call over, he gave them a plan that he had drawn up. It was decided to regularly take turns to let the patrol team go out to suppress bandits, of course, in the name of it, and it was better to practice while fighting.
The two naturally knew that only after they really saw the blood could they really enter the ranks of the strong army. It was quickly laid out.
As a result, in the following time, the bandits in Quang Nam Province were attacked one after another, and there was no way to live. In these years, it is not easy to be a bandit, those who can have a few firearms are considered bandits, and those who can have a few fast guns are giant bandits. Every time Xiao Mubai's patrol team attacked, the reconnaissance team first reconnoitred it, and then the patrol team dispatched, surrounded by bandits, shouted and persuaded them to surrender, and did not achieve a strong attack.
In less than two months, all the mountain bandits in Quang Nam Province disappeared, and even if they were not eliminated, they were not willing to stay in Quang Nam and move to other places to continue the promising profession of mountain bandits.
For a while, the officials of Quang Nam Province smiled and squinted, because the absence of banditry meant political achievements. Ordinary people are even more jubilant, because the extinction of bandits means that their lives are safe. The officers and men of the patrol battalion were even more highly motivated, because of the suppression of bandits, the commander gave them 30 percent of the income from the suppression of bandits, not to mention making a fortune, and the patrol battalion also changed its image in the eyes of the people in the past.
