After Yang Wangpeng finished speaking, he retreated into the queue and waited for Zhao Bei to make a decision.

"Blue Sky? Confederate. Hearing this name, Zhao Bei thought for a moment, made up his mind, and said categorically: "Since Lan Tianwei has studied military affairs in Japan, he is a talent, and he is a revolutionary comrade of the Alliance, so he can be reused. As for the rest of the old officers, they must not be of great use! Now that the revolution has just begun, it is especially important not to let people from both ends of the first rat blend into the revolutionary ranks, because in the event of a military setback, these people are in danger of turning their guns at any time! Xu Shaozhen We can accept it, but we can't let him lead the troops at the moment. Comrades, we must remember that revolution is not a dinner party, but a great undertaking with our heads in our hands, and we must not be blindly optimistic at any time! You can't easily trust the puppet Qing ministers! Only we are the most reliable! When it came to "we", Zhao Bei deliberately accentuated his tone, and it immediately received the effect, almost everyone would smile, yes, all the people present were "their own people", in a trench.

"What does the vanguard mean?" Yang Wangpeng asked.

Zhao Bei stepped forward, patted Yang Wangpeng on the shoulder, looked at this young showman, and said with a smile: "Of course I have wronged you, it is indeed a bit hasty to raise you from a small soldier to the pipe belt and standard, but if you don't try, how do you know that you can't lead this revolutionary team?" Remember, now we are a revolutionary army, no longer the old army that was gloomy in the past, in the old army, the emphasis was on seniority, but in the revolutionary army, the emphasis is on meritocracy, those who are talented will be promoted, and those who are incompetent will get out! Don't excuse yourself with your age, you are in your twenties like me, and now that I am a pioneer officer, I don't think you are young, how can you care about these small sections? At that time, Ganluo was the twelfth minister, and the pseudo-Qing Emperor Kangxi was in power at the age of fourteen, and they were younger than you, but I didn't see them twisting and refusing to grasp power! ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Bei glanced at Tian Jinfu who was standing behind him and asked, "Yiren, what kind of official were you before the uprising?" ”

"Shedme!" Tian Jinfu said without blinking.

"And now?"

"Pipe band, Captain of the Guard!"

"Do you still want to be promoted?"

"Yes!"

Zhao Bei turned his head and said with a smile: "Everyone has seen it, my subordinates have never thought they were big." Napoleon, the Western god of war, said well, 'A soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier'! Remember this sentence. Revolutionary soldiers do not serve as officials to make a fortune or oppress the people, but to lead the revolution and bring the revolution to the other side of victory! Only revolutionaries who are willing to be officers are real revolutionaries! Ask yourself, are you a true revolutionary? ”

"Yes!"

Everyone replied with a bang, looked at each other and smiled, Zhao Bei's words finally untied their knots, the reason why they didn't dare to be officials was not that they didn't want to be officials, but they were afraid that others would say that they speculated in the revolution in order to get promoted and make a fortune, but now even the vanguard officers of the revolutionary army are encouraging themselves to become officers, if they resign, I am afraid that it will appear hypocritical, and what Zhao Bei said just now is very reasonable, at the beginning of this kind of revolution, it is indeed not appropriate to let the old officers control the troops.

However, it is indeed a bit appalling that all the senior officers in an army are young people in their twenties and thirties, and perhaps this is a phenomenon peculiar to the revolutionary era.

"Yang Wangpeng!" Zhao Bei said in a deep voice.

"Here!"

"You quickly draw up a list of appointments for middle and high-ranking officers, hand it over to me, and when I get the big seal, our revolutionary army will be reborn. As for low-level officers such as sheds and platoon commanders, they are elected by the soldiers of each department, and those who can be supported by the soldiers and are brave in combat can become officers! As for how the army should be organized, we will wait until all the troops are gathered, and we will work hard all night to complete the reorganization of the troops as soon as possible. By the way, the 33rd standard of the Jiangsu New Army is still stationed on the Yangtze River, and it is necessary to send people to instigate, Xu Shaozhen can't go alone, he has to send a few more reliable people, who do you think is appropriate? ”

"I'll go!" Zhang Yukun of the Qunzhi Society stood up, walked a few steps, pulled out a person from the Jiangsu officer, pointed at the person, and said: "Brother Lin used to be the camp management band of the 33rd standard, and he himself said that he was very popular in the standard, so it was best for him to go with him." ”

"Your name is Lin Shuqing." Zhao Bei remembered this person's name.

"Yes! Lin Shuqing, who is now the 36th Standard 1st Battalion of the 18th Association of the Jiangsu New Army, has been serving as the 2nd Battalion of the 33rd Standard and has stayed in the 33rd Standard for nearly two years. Lin Shuqing said.

"Okay, you pick a few people and take Xu Shaozhen to instigate the Thirty-Three Bids Uprising." Zhao Bei nodded and said to Yang Wangpeng and the others: "As for the others, let's go back to their respective departments, seriously reorganize the troops, and clean out those officers who hate the revolution." ”

"Yes!" Yang Wangpeng saluted and stepped back.

"Report!" Another man stepped forward.

"Speak!"

"Duanfang, Yinchang and others have been captured alive by our army, and they are all Tartar dog officers and diehards. How to deal with it, I hope the pioneer officer will make it clear! ”

Zhao Bei glanced at this person, remembered that his name was Deng Gang, and when he saw his sad and angry face, he said: "You caught the person, what do you say to do?" ”

"Kill!"

The crowd was almost unanimous.

The popularity of this Duan Fang and Yin Chang is also too bad.

"Yes, kill." Zhao Bei paced a few steps with his hands behind his back, changed his words, and said: "However, you can't kill now, it's not good to kill now, it's better to wait until dawn, let's kill before the westward expedition, first, to deter the diehards lurking in the army, and second, it can also be regarded as a sacrifice flag." ”

Zhao Bei is not a murderer, and he has also thought about knocking on the bamboo poles of Duanfang, Yinchang and others to supplement a little military spending, but, in the current situation, this Duanfang and Yinchang seem to have to be killed, otherwise, the military spirit of this rebel new army will not be able to be subdued, if everyone is not convinced, how should he, the vanguard officer, command the army to fight? And what do you call the soldiers to die for themselves? Who told Duan Fang and Yin Chang to kill so many people from the Qunzhi Society? This is called self-inflicted, self-inflicted, and self-inflicted, but also blamed others.

Deng Gang stepped back with great satisfaction, and another person walked out, saluted, and said, "Report." During the battle, the two Japanese telegraph officers who were in charge of the radio station were killed by the rebels, and this incident may trigger international negotiations. ”

Zhao Beiyi waved his hand and said lightly: "Let it go!" Those two Japanese officers obviously committed suicide, not by us. ”

Everyone exchanged glances, comprehended, and a few people smiled.

"How many radios do we control?" Zhao Bei asked.

"Report, the New Army of the two towns has a total of four Marconi spark radios, two of which were destroyed by Japanese officers during the battle, and the other two are intact and are now in the hands of the rebel soldiers!" The man replied.

"Very good, I ordered someone to be on duty at the radio station to collect information about Anqing as much as possible, but unfortunately the Anqing rebel army did not have a radio station and could not be contacted. Okay, let's all go and straighten out the troops, if you do it quickly, you can squint for a while before dawn, and you can recuperate enough and advance westward in one go. Zhao Bei waved his hand.

"Report, Zou Runyou of the Ministry of Employment, I am willing to bring a radio station and rush to Anqing overnight!" The man said again.

Zhao Bei glanced up at the man and said approvingly: "Your courage is good, but this move is inappropriate." Our army has only two radio stations, and it is inevitable that there will be no battles during the westward expedition, and if one is damaged, at least one more can be used, plus those two are damaged, remove the parts, knock and beat, and maybe they can barely deal with it, and if it is necessary to divide the troops, the two departments can also rely on radio communication, so the current two radio stations can no longer have any more losses in any case. ”

Joke! Anqing's Xiong Chengji is the "Metropolitan Governor", Zhao Bei is only the "pioneer officer" under the Metropolitan Governor, and the subordinates must obey the superiors, in case the radio station is taken to Anqing, and Anqing asks him to return to Anqing, so will he return to the division? Returning to the division is a dead end, and not returning is a dilemma of resisting military orders. Therefore, this radio station can't be moved to Anqing.

Zou Runyou was stunned for a moment, and didn't insist anymore, after all, what Zhao Bei said was also very reasonable, of course, he didn't know what Zhao Bei was thinking.

"Zou Runyou, are you a telegraph officer?" Zhao Bei asked.

"It's not. However, the Ministry is now responsible for the two radios. Zou Runyou said.

"Then, you go down and call the telegraph man and technician to see if you can repair the two damaged radio stations, and if you can't repair them, remove the parts and spare them, and by the way, ask the telegraph operator to immediately rewrite a new telegram code for the exclusive use of our army, and at the same time continue to listen to all the clear code telegrams and collect as much useful information as possible."

"Yes!" Zou Runyou saluted and retreated.

Zhao Bei walked back to the table, glanced at the map on the table, turned around and said, "Now, you can go back to the camp to rectify the troops." ”

"Pioneer officer, we have prepared a place for the pioneer officer to stay, please ...... the pioneer officer," Yang Wangpeng said.

Zhao Bei waved his hand and said, "Everyone doesn't sleep, and I don't sleep either, who called me a pioneer officer?" Leading by example is the foundation of our revolutionary army's combat effectiveness. You must also remember that in the future, you must share weal and woe with the soldiers and mingle, only in this way can we maintain the true character of our revolutionary soldiers! Okay, let's go down and straighten out the troops, and report to me here. ”

Everyone saluted and retreated, Zhao Bei stretched his waist, it would be false to say that he was not sleepy, but since the words had been spoken, it was not easy to pick them up again, so he could only hold his eyelids and carefully look at the large-scale military map behind the table, planning the future route of the march. According to his experience, only by blossoming on all sides and fighting on a mobile basis can he disrupt the strategic layout of the Qing army, lead the Qing army by the nose, and take the strategic initiative in his own hands.

What's more, there is still a large arsenal in Wuhan waiting for him to receive and fight, and it is impossible to have soldiers without guns.

"Tian Jinfu!" Zhao Bei threw the pencil in his hand and straightened up.

"Here!" Tian Jinfu, who had been standing beside him, hurriedly answered, glanced at the map on the table, but found that a sketch was drawn on the map, which seemed to be a military flag.

"The captured captives are still being held, aren't they?"

"Locked up, big officials and small officials, hundreds of people, the good houses in the whole town have been requisitioned."

Zhao Bei looked at the empty ancestral hall and asked in a low voice, "Do any of your subordinates know how to act?" ”

"Acting? The chief wants to listen to the play? Tian Jinfu was slightly surprised.

"It's not that I want to listen to the play, it's to act for others to see." Zhao Bei hooked his fingers. "Come here with your ears."

Tian Jinfu walked closer, Zhao Bei whispered a few words in his ear, Tian Jinfu suddenly realized, nodded again and again, and hurriedly ran out of the ancestral hall after a few "um" sounds, and several guards hurriedly flashed in and stood beside Zhao Bei.

Zhao Bei stretched his waist, looked at the map in front of him, and said to himself: "Although the times make heroes, heroes may not be able to create the times. Since the anti-Qing trend has not yet arrived, let me promote the development of the current situation! ”
