9000983 Chapter 447 dismounted

Because the railway inside and outside the customs passes through Shanhaiguan, and Shanhaiguan has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, whether it is in war or not. The defense of this Shanhaiguan cannot be relaxed no matter what

。

At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry went south from the Jiang 1 Customs, it can be said that the establishment of the Manchu Dynasty was directly related to the Shanhai Pass, for the Manchu Dynasty, the Shanhai Pass was not only an important pass, but also the throat of the Central Plains ruling area and the "Longxing Land" outside the Guan, controlled here, once the situation in the Central Plains changed, the Eight Banners could not stay in the Central Plains, then, the banner people could also withdraw from the Shanhaiguan to the "Longxing Land" outside the Guan, so as not to raise the clan to be wiped out in the Guan.

Out of this consideration, the Manchu Dynasty has always attached great importance to Shanhaiguan, and it is not only the elite troops in the Eight Banners who guard Shanhaiguan. Moreover, most of the commanders of the troops were "famous generals" with Mao Xin, such as Xiang Rong, the general of the Qing army during the Taiping War, and Xi Ling'a, the general of the Qing army during the Twist Army War, all of whom were stationed at Shanhaiguan. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Westernization Movement arose, and the Shanhaiguan garrison exchanged shotguns for guns, and silver could buy foreign guns and cannons. But can not buy the modernization of national defense, a Sino-Japanese War, the Manchu Dynasty all the military power of the decay and vulnerability completely exposed to the eyes of foreigners, Shanhaiguan is no longer as stable as Mount Tai military fortress, but has become the Manchu Dynasty's elbow trouble, after the Russo-Japanese War, the threat from outside the customs intensified, the Qing court had to transfer new troops to Shanhaiguan to take over, trying to defend the capital close to the enemy.

What is ironic is that the British team "defended" the Shanhai Pass together with the new army units of the Manchu Dynasty, which was a privilege obtained by the great powers under the "Xincho Treaty", but it was also an important measure for the British government to maintain the strategic balance of power in the Far East.

After the outbreak of the "Wushen Revolution", Britain strengthened the defense of Shanhaiguan, but at the same time, the Manchu Dynasty transferred all the troops stationed at Shanhaiguan to the south to strengthen the strength of the southbound army, trying to suppress the southern revolution and save the rule of the Manchu Dynasty.

But the hearts of the people were lost, the actions of the Manchu dynasty were in vain, the imperial system ended, the republic established the small Manchu dynasty withdrew from the stage of history, and it was the one who ruled China in its place. The short-lived Beiyang center, Shanhaiguan also briefly resumed the stationing of Beiyang troops, but soon after, the small Beiyang Army in the Great War of the North and South was also transferred south, so. Shanhaiguan has lost its reliable protection again, and now. It was up to a rabble to guard this ancient fortress that had stood in the wind and rain for hundreds of years.

Now stationed in Shanhaiguan squadron a total of more than 5,000 people, except for a small number of Yi Army, Rehippo team, most of them are Zhang Zuoshuang's troops of the 16th Division of the Beiyang Army, in terms of numbers, a total of 3,000 people, but the strength of three regiments, reluctantly formed an infantry brigade, these troops were Zhang Zuoshuang last time under the order of Yuan Shikai to go south in a hurry recruited from outside the pass, many of them are still strong men, not only there are not many war horses available, even the morale is quite low, it is not an exaggeration to call it a "rabble".

Commanding this rabble is Zhang Jinghui, who is currently also the commander of the infantry brigade.

Zhang Jinghui, the fifth character, Liaoning Tai'an, was born as a tofu maker. For the sake of their lives, a group of wealthy households in Bajiaotai Town, Tai'an County discussed the formation of an "insurance team" so Zhang Jinghui came forward to be the captain of the insurance team.

At that time, the Northeast was full of heroes. Zhang Jinghui was the emperor of the soil in the Octagonal Terrace, and Zhang Zuoshuang also developed his career in his "insurance zone", but Zhang Zuoshuang was too sharp, not only offended the Russians, but also offended Jin Wanfu, a fellow in the green forest. So the Russians and Jin Wanfu joined forces to make a surprise attack on Zhang Zuoshuang's team, which greatly injured Zhang Zuoshuang's vitality, and had to flee to Feng Delin, the predecessor of the green forest in the northeast at that time, but on the way to Feng Delin's territory, he had to pass through Bajiaotai Town, and for the people of Bajiaotai Town, it was a bit risky to let an "insurance team" from other places cross the border, so most of the townspeople did not agree with Zhang Zuoshuang to borrow the road, and finally Zhang Jinghui spoke as the captain of the insurance team. Only then was Zhang Zuoshuang able to get rid of the pursuers and enter the octagon

Zhang Jinghui and Zhang Zuoshuang hit it off at first sight. I don't know if I saw the aura of a tyrant emanating from Zhang Zuoshuang's body, or if I was really ashamed of myself. In short, after entertaining Zhang Zuoshuang for a few days, Zhang Jinghui resolutely gave up the position of the insurance captain of Bajiaotai Town, and invited Zhang Zuoshuang to sit in the top spot, and Zhang Zuoshuang did not live up to Zhang Jinghui's courtesy, changed the style of "old and dead do not get along" in the past, and began to take the initiative to attack, strengthen ties with the "insurance team" around the country, contact feelings, and in a very short period of time, Zhang Zuoxiang insurance team and Tang Yulin insurance team were also merged into the Bajiaotai insurance team. The power has grown, and since then, Bajiaotai Town has been free from the harassment of bandits from other places, and Zhang Zuoshuang has also become famous

"Five without Octagonal Town, there would be no Zhang Zuoshuang's later scenery, and without Zhang Jinghui's initiative to make Xian, there would be no rise of Zhang Zuoshuang, perhaps, he Zhang Zuoshuang can only be a little minion under Feng Delin now, therefore. For Zhang Jinghui, Zhang Zuoshuang is not only trust, but also trust, and the relationship between the two is also extremely close.

Shanhaiguan is the throat of the inside and outside of the customs, Zhang Zuoshuang let Zhang Jinghui lead the army to garrison Shanhaiguan, this is the proof of his trust, but also the return to him, because Shanhaiguan is the entry and exit of goods inside and outside the customs, the post of Shanhaiguan garrison commander is not only important, but also fat, is to rub a little skin from every goods that pass the customs, and the accumulated wealth is also considerable.

Trust in Zhang Zuoshuang. Zhang Jinghui is also bright-hearted, so since taking office, he has not only taken over all the tax bureaus and the Lijin Bureau of Shanhaiguan1, but also specially set up a headquarters at the railway station, in order to ensure that "the geese are plucked". And he did not take the profits alone, but divided half of them and transported them to the headquarters of the 16th Division in Tongnan. Supplying military salaries, doing so is "righteous anger." "Can't let people say that he Zhang Jinghui doesn't talk about the morality of the rivers and lakes, one Zhang Zuoshuang, one Zhang Jinghui, this master and a servant have a tacit understanding.

This infantry brigade of the 16th Division was stationed at Shanhaiguan for more than 10 days, and the Shanhaiguan was made to a state of smoke, and the people's grievances were boiling, and many clever businessmen even ended the business of Shanhaiguan and fled back to the customs, and the business of Shanhaiguan was even more depressed.

Due to the expropriation of tyranny. A few days ago, the central government sent an official letter "ordering" Zhang Jinghui to stop collecting taxes at Shanhaiguan and to seal all the taxes collected and wait for the central authorities to send personnel to receive them.

Originally, Zhang Jinghui was disdainful of this central official letter, but Zhang Zuoshuang was smarter than him, and the day before yesterday, Zhang Zuoshuang took a telegram to Zhang Jinghui, telling him to "be more restrained". Although Zhang Jinghui does not take the center in his eyes. But Zhang Zuoshuang's words still didn't dare not listen, so in the past two days, he has been busy in Shanhaiguan to "rectify the order" As for the taxes collected, he also hurriedly sent someone to Changnan, which is also Zhang Zuoshuang's order, as for the account book, Zhang Jinghui burned a fire. There is no proof of death for the center, and the center can't grasp the handle of the 16th division.

But the center doesn't seem to be so easy to fool, no, Zhang Jinghui received a telegram. It is said that the central committee will send the 1st Wounded Division of the National Defense Force to Shanhaiguan to station, and I am afraid that the intention of this will have to be carefully considered.

Since receiving the telegram. Zhang Jinghui was worried, he sent a telegram to Zhang Zuoshuang to report the incident, but the call back from the Tongnan Division Headquarters was that Zhang Zuoshuang had already rushed to Shanhaiguan with the team, but instead of supporting him, he went to meet Wu Guangxin, the division commander of the 1st Division, and it is said that he also brought many meeting gifts.

Since the big bosses dare not offend Wu Guangxin, then Zhang Jinghui does not dare to be this Wu division commander, today is the day when Wu Guangxin led the old infantry division into Shanhaiguan, Zhang Jinghui has been busy preparing to welcome Wu division, not only ordered all the shops in Shanhaiguan to be decorated, but also restrained military discipline, so as not to be caught by Wu Guangxin pigtails, after all, it was a general from Beiyang, and he also went to Japan to study. is not as good as the green forest in the northeast, and he pays attention to an unrestrained person.

Nine o'clock in the morning. News came from the southern station, saying that the first military train carrying the 1st wounded division had passed, and it would arrive at Shanhaiguan South Station in more than 20 minutes. They also drove the representatives of all walks of life and celebrities from all walks of life who were forcibly pulled over to the railway station. Bunting greeted the arrival of the Defence Forces.

9:25 a.m. The military train entered the station on time and stopped at the side of the platform, and there was no military band, but the salute could be put off.1 So Zhang Jinghui gave an order, and several old-fashioned Japanese field guns in front of the railway station roared, frightening the people in and outside the city a little overwhelmed.

Originally, the salute was going to be fired ninety-nine, but after hearing twenty-one. Wu Guangxin on the train couldn't sit still, and hurriedly sent an adjutant to get off the train and ask Zhang Jinghui to stop firing the artillery. Get in the car and meet him.

Although the other party's shelf was very large, Zhang Jinghui still got into the car without saying a word, and considering the righteousness of the rivers and lakes, he didn't bring a horse with him, and he was quite calm to go to the meeting alone.

"Humble Zhang Jinghui, I have seen Master Wu.

met Wu Guangxin's face. Zhang Jinghui slowly stepped forward and made a thousand, but there was no military salute.

"Someone. Take him down".

Wu Guangxin did not return the gift. As soon as the order was given, two guards immediately went up and took Zhang Jinghui into custody

Hongmen Banquet? Dismounted?

Zhang Jinghui was dumbfounded. Only then did he realize that the Master Wu in front of him was not from the green forest, and he didn't talk about the righteousness of the rivers and lakes.
