Chapter 18: Barracks Gangsters
After the Xinhai Revolution, the old and the new alternated, and the government changed from Nanjing to Beijing at once. At this time, the army was extremely unified, and some were even called by the Qing Dynasty's establishment, town, and association. Some are named after Western military formations, divisions, regiments, etc.
Yang Shuai was thinking about the affairs of the army this time, and went to the artillery company allocated by Huang Xing. On the way, I suddenly saw Huang Yiou coming over with a heroic young man, and at a glance, it was Chen Guofu.
Since Chen Guofu resigned as Sun Wen's secretary, he wanted to go back to Shanghai. Unexpectedly, at this time, I received a message that Huang Xing was going to form an army to aid Anhui, the first division in Nanjing, and Yang Shuai, who was in the limelight some time ago, acted as the division commander. The division commander named himself to be the logistics officer of the Anhui army, and Chen Guofu was curious.
Seeing Huang Yiou come to invite him in person, Huang Xing and Chen Qimei are both revolutionary veterans, relatively close, this Huang Yiou is a young talent in the revolutionary army, and has an extraordinary status and fame in the League. Even Huang Yiou admired this Yang Shuai so much, Chen Guofu said in his heart, I am afraid that I will have to help my uncle when I go back to Shanghai, so it is better to go and see.
Yang Shuai was overjoyed, and Huang Yiou took out a volume of notebook from the briefcase beside him: "Zhaoyun, I want the information of the army in the east of the city, not much, you can take a look." Huang Yiou's eyes were very embarrassed, Yang Shuai was very curious, Huang Yiou got the roster, this is to help himself, why is he embarrassed.
When he opened it, Yang Shuai's face darkened at that time, and he finally understood that Huang Yiou was embarrassed, this was embarrassing for his father.
Throw your mother, say that there are only 3,000 people in one division, and at a glance, Guangxi, Guangdong, Hunan, Zhejiang, Fujian, Yunnan, this is a hodgepodge.
It does not mean that soldiers must be from a certain place, such an army is pure. But now it's not that they come from different regions, but that their numbers are from different places. This means that this is a rabble, and before, there was no run-in, it was a temporary combination.
Fuck you, the Nanyang Revolutionary Army has it all.
Yang Shuai: "Don't talk about it, let's go to the artillery first." "I'm in a bad mood, Chen Guofu doesn't know much about military affairs, this time Yang Shuai asked him to come just to publicize that this Nanjing First Division is a revolutionary team, not different from other places, that's all. So he didn't pay much attention to Chen Guofu, and directly took out 200,000 yuan and handed it over to Chen Guofu, who was responsible for all logistics.
Yang Shuai was absent-minded, but Chen Guofu was startled, and at the same time there was a burst of admiration in his heart, damn it, 200,000 yuan, just give it if you say it, aren't you afraid that Chen Guofu will run away?
Artillery company, this is a treasure in this era. The soldiers pushed it a lot, but the artillery, as well as the rarer navy and air force, are China's current treasures, and it is no wonder that Zhang Daliang almost turned his face in front of Huang Xing.
When I got closer, I saw dozens of soldiers in military uniforms, walking around the courtyard aimlessly.
Yang Shuai turned his head and looked at it a few times, what about the artillery, the artillery company, the artillery company, why don't there be a single artillery? The sentry at the door hurriedly raised his gun: "Stop, who is it?" ”
Yang Hua hurriedly took out the order document and stepped forward: "We are the headquarters of the First Division in Nanjing, and now you have been incorporated into the First Division, this is the acting division commander Yang Shuai, and I asked your company commander to come out." ”
The barracks also heard shouting outside, and about 100 people came out in a hurry. Today they did receive such an order, and they were curious about what kind of division commander this first division was.
Yang Shuai looked at these people and shook his head, there was still a lack of training. Artillery is not good at hand-to-hand combat, and the barracks should be more tightly defended to avoid being attacked by surprise. But in the artillery position in front of him, Yang Shuai was confident that as long as there were twenty people, he would be able to take this artillery company in one pot.
A man who looked like an officer in his thirties rushed out of it, but he was lukewarm to Yang Shuai: "Report to the division commander, I am the company commander of the artillery company, and I graduated from the artillery of the Shanxi Army Primary School, please instruct." ”
"Where's your cannon?" For this person, Yang Shuai knew that this person did not reject him, so Yang Shuai did not say anything.
"Report to the division commander, our company, with a total of three 45-mm mountain guns and 17 shells, is in the barracks."
Yang Shuai was stunned, Sanmen? Also 45 mm? Let's hunt. "Put it in the room, there is an enemy sneak attack, what do you do?"
Company commander: "Report to the division commander, our guns are all on the windows inside and outside the room, and they can be used when the windows are opened, and there are soldiers guarding the guns at all times." Our company, with few artillery, is not good to put in a visible place, so that the enemy can be taken by surprise. ”
Yang Shuai was taken aback, this person was talented, he couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and said, "What do you say your name is?" ”
"Xiaguan Sun Wei, a native of Shanxi."
"Okay, okay, Company Commander Sun, you prepare the whole company, wait for the order of the division headquarters to arrive, transfer at any time, and pay you two months' military salary first." As soon as Yang Shuai turned around, he heard a shout of cheers behind him.
Chen Guofu smiled: "The division commander has good means." ”
After watching the artillery battery, there was a straight heading to the east of the city.
This time, it is not so easy to overwhelm, there are many people, the situation is mixed, and the morale is low, Yang Shuai made three comments at the first glance on this military camp in the east of the city.
Behind him was a company of guards, how could such a team not attract people's attention. I saw Yang Hua riding all the way with the warrant, and the horse was still given by the company commander when he was in Jiangning.
"The commander of the Nanjing First Division has arrived, and all the officers of all departments and battalions and above have come out."
As soon as there was a bang, Yang Shuai heard the crowd talking, but at this time, Yang Shuai had a little comfort in his heart, that is, these soldiers were all young soldiers, and there were not many old, weak, sick and disabled.
Suddenly, three people came around, and just as they were about to speak, they heard a sneer: "Ouch, I heard that the master is here, come, get out of the way, let Lao Tzu take a look." Ouch, a little doll. Yang Shuai heard a kind of sarcasm and disdain.
Some of the soldiers around him, when they heard the voice say this, immediately laughed, it seemed that they were this person's cronies.
Yang Shuai was secretly ashamed and angry, and at this time he heard a small soldier next to him muttering: "It's this hooligan again, damn it, look at how this little division commander gets it." ”
Rogue? Yang Shuai heard a meaning, as if the person who was laughing just now seemed to be arrogant in the barracks.
I saw that the man had a big beard, a square square, very tall, a Hanyang pistol on both sides of his waist, and a dozen cronies with spears behind him.
Yang Hua was already about to get angry, and Liu Wu and the others also endured it one by one, and they didn't dare to move without Yang Shuai's order.
Yang Shuai laughed: "Yang Yang Shuai, Yang Zhaoyun, don't you seniors know the name?" I don't know if there is a civilian official who can introduce this military camp to Yang. ”
The big man sneered again, at this time, Yang Shuai had already sentenced this person to death in his heart, and he lost your mother. But Yang Shuai still looked grinning, looking very humble, which made the man more and more arrogant.
One of them came out and reported to the division commander that this military camp was originally to be organized as the Nanjing garrison division a month ago, but because of the lack of military salaries and the resignation of officials at all levels, the establishment is now complete. There were three regiments in the division, each with two battalions, and many regiments and battalions had no commanders. Xia Guan is the deputy head of the Second Regiment and the acting head of the regiment, Liu Rongguang. There were 3,127 men in the division. Yang Shuai couldn't help but look at this person a few more times, this is the first person to cooperate with himself, and he must give enough back to others in order to make others move closer to him.
Yang Shuai: "Oh, acting head of the regiment? ”
"Yes, the original head of the regiment has left his post and gone to the capital."
Yang Shuai smiled, and immediately turned back to Chen Guofu: "Mr. Chen." Chen Guofu is not only a logistics liaison officer, but also a secretary of the division headquarters.
"General Secretary Chen immediately drafted that Liu Rongguang would be the commander of the First Regiment of the First Division in Nanjing, and he would report back to stay behind and be formally appointed."
Liu Rongguang was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that this division commander is not simple. Thinking of Liu Rongguang, he glanced at the person who laughed at Yang Shuai.
Sure enough, Yang Shuai was like this, and the mocking voice just now rose again: "Report to the acting division commander, the lower official Hu Damin, now the most elite battalion of the regiment is mine, please take care of the division commander." ”
Yang Shuai's heart was cold, and he didn't have any good feelings for this person anymore. Ignoring this person completely, he then said to Liu Rongguang: "Commander Liu, your regiment now has several battalion commanders and company commanders, and the guns are enough." ”
Hu Damin's face suddenly darkened, gritting his teeth but not daring to speak. Liu Rongguang was stunned: "Division commander, two battalions of the second regiment, there are no battalion commanders, and all company commanders have them." After speaking, he pointed to the two battalion commanders to Yang Shuai.
The two hurriedly stepped forward: "Division Commander, Liu Fang of the third battalion of the second regiment, Li Daodao of the fourth battalion of the second regiment." "Of course, the first and second battalions are one regiment, the battalions below the second regiment are the third and fourth battalions, and the third regiment is the fifth and sixth battalions.
Yang Shuai: "Okay, the two of you will temporarily lead a battalion to lead the troops and contribute to the revolution." ”
Two ** happy, there is also a little reasonable, Yang Shuai is a newcomer, there is no foundation, of course you have to use these old people. Maybe that's what he thought, that Hu Damin was so arrogant just now, and he didn't show Yang Shuai's face.
Unexpectedly, Liu Rongguang set an example and actually let Yang Shuai get a regiment all at once.
Yang Shuai: "Commander Liu, I will immediately give you two months' military salary for the whole regiment when I turn around." ”
Wow - when they heard the military salary, everyone was even more excited, and those who had not spoken to Yang Shuai were also enthusiastic. That Hu Damin finally couldn't help it, 'May I ask the division commander, the second regiment has military salaries, but what about our first regiment?' Liu Rongguang just wanted to say something out loud, but after suddenly seeing Yang Shuai's face, he hurriedly stopped again.
Yang Shuai turned back to Hu Damin: "Hu Damin, what position are you in now?" ”
Hu Damin: "Division commander, the commander of the first battalion under the command of the first regiment of Xiaguan, this is the commander of Wang Li's company in the second battalion." Hu Damin saw that he was afraid that he was weak, so he hurriedly pointed to a company commander and said, as if telling Yang Shuai, I am the commander of the first battalion, but the second battalion is also mine.
Yang Shuai smiled in his heart, in this way, the first regiment has no regiment commander, not even a deputy, and what is even more pitiful is that the second battalion has no battalion commander or the like.
Suddenly, Yang Shuai had a plan and said, "Oh, that's good, Battalion Commander Hu is still the commander of the first battalion." ”
Hu Damin's face was proud, small, not afraid of your dissatisfaction. But Yang Shuai continued: "There is no regimental headquarters for the time being, Huang Yiou." ”
Huang Yiou was stunned behind him, and hurriedly stood upright: "Here." ”
"Appoint you as the commander of the second battalion, and take up your post immediately."
Hu Damin exhaled, and his face darkened. Liu Rongguang and others shouted in their hearts, what a means.
Sample, I can't kill you, a small company commander in the second battalion is your cronies, and you want to be a regiment commander because you control the second battalion? Huang Yiou is the son of Huang Xing, a revolutionary senior, you wait.
Huang Yiou was also stunned, and then immediately understood Yang Shuai's plan, and shouted: "Guarantee to complete the task." ”
Yang Shuai smiled, and didn't look at Hu Damin's face: "The first group also pays two months' military salary." ”
At this time, there is another person next to him who is not talking, and it is not if he does not speak.
Yang Shuai looked at it and smiled: "You are from the third group, right?" ”
The man was upright: "Yes, the commander of the third regiment of Xiaguan, Wang Niu." ”
Yang Shuai was stunned, the commander of the third regiment? Is this missing so much?
Liu Rongguang was the first to show favor to Yang Shuai, and hurriedly: "Commander, it's like this, there are 3,000 people in the barracks, most of them are concentrated in the first and second regiments, and the third regiment now has only about 400 people, and there is only one company commander, that is, Company Commander Wang." ”
When Yang Shuai heard it, it turned out to be so. In a blink of an eye, Yang Shuai said with a smile: "Then let's do it, the three regiments will be reduced into an independent battalion, and Company Commander Wang will still be the company commander, Zhang Dabiao." ”
Zhang Dabiao: "Here." ”
"You go to the independent battalion as a company commander."
Then Yang Shuai: "The independent battalion is temporarily represented by Company Commander Wang and Company Commander Zhang Dabiao, and is directly under the division headquarters. After the ministers returned, they immediately proposed a vacant appointment and reported it to General Secretary Chen, who was formally appointed three days later. Then go north and aid Anhui. ”
"The whole division, two months' salary, if you don't have a gun, go to General Secretary Chen to get it, and ensure that everyone has a gun."
After Yang Shuai finished speaking, the entire military camp cheered. These days, they are worried about the matter of military salaries, and this time it has been two months, and it is suddenly boiling.
Yang Shuai laughed, and looked at Liu Rongguang, who was also happy: "Head Liu, I will live with you in the future, arrange a place for me." ”
The more Hu Damin next to him saw everyone cheering, the darker his face became.
