1908 Far East Maniac Chapter 139 Returns

Start with this chapter. Zheng, entering the second volume of "Martial Husband as a Country". Thank you for your support. ）

In the sonorous sound of military music. The steamer slowly approached the dock. A new five-sè flag fluttered at the stern. This is the national flag determined by the Provisional Constitutional Committee of China. The five sè symbolizes the republic of the five ethnic groups.

Now the republic provisional zhèngfǔ has been formed. Although the Great Powers had not yet formally recognized this republic diplomatically. However, the "neutrality" status of the concessions in China has been lifted. The number of merchant ships to Hankow gradually increased. The long-interrupted trade between China and foreign countries is gradually heating up.

The little steam that remains in the boiler is released. After a long whistle. The steamer dropped its anchor. The little tugboat that pushed it to the dock retreated. The sailors on the passenger ship threw the cable out with all their might. I was caught by a worker on the trestle. Firmly tethered to the dock.

A two-person wide gangplank sticks out of the boat. It was built on the trestle. The barricade opened. Passengers who had been gathering at the exit eagerly rushed to the springboard. Curious to look around. Listen to the sonorous military music. It's a bit confusing. I don't know what big people are on board. It's going to be such a big swing on the docks.

The marching band wore gray uniforms. Wears a boat-shaped soft hat. This type of military cap is extremely rare in China. Just look at it. They were all soldiers of the Chinese Revolutionary Republic. And the iron-blooded banner behind them. It confirms their identity. Two officers in officer uniforms stood by the military band. Hand holding binoculars. Gaze around the boat that was so close.

A young man dressed in a dress walks onto the gangplank. See the formation on the docks. was also slightly stunned. But the pace didn't stop. Continue towards the pier. And I finished the dress in a good time. The handbag he was carrying was bulging. It seems to be full of stuff.

Don't wait for this light man to step off the springboard. The two officers, who had been standing at the band, came up and stood on either side of the gangplank—and went to shake the young man's hand.

"Baili. I'm waiting for you to come back. One of the officers said with a smile, raising his finger and pointing at the officer standing on the other side of the gangplank. said: "This is Zhao Zhenhua, commander-in-chief of the Republican Army." ”

"Linghao."

The youth in a top hat - reached out and shook hands with the commander-in-chief. Then he introduced himself: "Contemptible Jiang Fangzhen." The word is 100 miles. No. Ning. Zhejiang Haining people's. He studied at the Rì Non-commissioned Officer School. Learning is a step course. ”

"Fortunately. Fortunately. When I heard that you were studying the military in Germany, I thought you wouldn't be returning to China for the time being. I didn't expect to come back so soon. A few days ago, Cai Song went to Wuhan. Say you shoot the telegram back. I want to return to my country to join the revolution. I'm so excited. The reception banquet has already been booked. Just waiting for you to get off the boat. Let's have a tooth sacrifice," Zhao Bei smiled and closed his mouth, Jiang Baili. Can one of the "Three Heroes of China's Modern Military Circles" not be happy?

"Pine slope. Didn't I tell you? My return to China will be kept secret. Jiang Fangzhen complained to another.

"Huh. I don't blame you for that. The Commander-in-Chief met me. Just ask where you are. Can I not say it? By the way, why didn't Nong stay with you? I, a fellow from Hunan, changed my mind halfway through? The officer said with a smile. The officer's name was Cai Zi Songpo. As for the Hunan Baoqing people, he said that the "farmer" was Zhang Xiaozhun. The two are small fellow villagers in Hunan. And. Like Jiang Fang, they were all classmates of the non-commissioned officer school. Because the results are very good. It is known as the "Three Heroes of China and Military Affairs".

Jiang Fangzhen, Cai and Zhang Xiaozhun were all the third batch of non-commissioned officers and students in the Qing court. Graduated in 1904. After returning home. All three were "reused". Cai successively served in Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangxi and other military positions. Jiang Fangzhen was a senator of the Supervision and Training Office of the Three Eastern Provinces. Presided over the formation and training of the new army. Zhang Xiaojian served in the Governor of the Three Eastern Provinces, Xu Shichang. However, due to the rejection of the new army by the generals of the old army. Plus it's too young. Make Chiang. In the end, the two were unable to gain a foothold in the army. Under the coercion of the old army generals Zhang Zuolin, Wu Junsheng and others. Xu Shichang, the governor of the three eastern provinces, had no choice but to pay for the two to go abroad for "inspection". Jiang and Zhang have been in Germany for two years. If it weren't for the outbreak of revolution in the country. I'm afraid the two won't return to China so soon

As for Tsai. The situation is not much better than that of Jiang and Zhang. Although not forced out of the country. But in the end, he still did not grasp the military power. Instead, he was squeezed out of Guangxi by the generals of the old army. I went to teach in the general office of the army elementary school. "Shen Revolution" together. The Western Society, instigated by the Confederacy, prepared to launch an uprising. Cai did not join the League. But back then, he went to school in the Changsha Shi School held by Tan Si, Liang Qichao, Tang Caichang and others. He was also exposed to revolutionary ideas at the time of his time. Therefore, in the heart it is a yearning for life. Ben Tse-Army responds to the uprising. Armed cooperation of the participating parties. Liberate Guangxi. But unexpectedly. Zhang Mingqi, the governor of Guangxi, disarmed the new army in Guangxi. Later, he responded to Zhang Renjun, the governor of Liangguang. Guangxi was declared "neutral". and reorganized the regimental defense bureau. Expand the regimental training armament. Intensify the crackdown on the various parties. So. The uprising of the Hui Party in Guangxi was not launched.

Cai saw that the situation in Guangxi was not conducive to the revolution. So he said goodbye. Ran to Shanghai with a few students from the army elementary school. took refuge in his mentor Liang Qichao. and introduced by Liang Qichao. I met Tao Chengzhang, the president of the Restoration Society. He was appointed as the "Chief of Staff of the Chinese Liberation Army". Sent to Qizhou to assist Xiong Chengji to reorganize the troops

Wait for Cai to officially take office. The "War of Nationhood" broke out. Zai Lun Cai received an order appointing him as the "Chief of Staff of Jianguo South Road". He went to the state to inspect Xiong Chengji's troops. Then he rushed to Wuhan non-stop. Met with Zhao Bei, commander-in-chief of the Republican Army. He also visited the Hanyang Arsenal and the Iron and Steel Factory.

As a traverser. Zhao Bei knew very well who Cai was. I also know his talents. I'd love to get him over. Help the IRA form a new military academy and a staff academy. However, Cai did not agree. Rather, they had to wait until the war was over to give him a word. on this. Zhao Bei was helpless. I had to let him go. Anyway, there is another Jiang Fangzhen and one Zhang Xiaozhun. Pull one of the "three heroes of the [**] thing". That's all priceless. Because they all received a systematic military education. It's not comparable to the half-tone cultivated by the country's martial arts academy.

When it was learned from Cai that Jiang Fangzhen and Zhang Xiaozhun were going to return to China. Zhao Bei has been waiting for many days. For this. He repeatedly postponed the launch of the campaign to attack Sichuan. This made Yuan Shikai furious. But there is nothing to be done.

In order to show his sincerity to Jiang and Zhang, Zhao Bei deliberately pulled a military band. and personally led the guards to the dock to greet Zhang Xiaozhun and returned it. But Jiang Fangzhen has to dig up the talent no matter what, and that is the "master of military learning" in modern times. The "Theory of National Defense" he wrote clearly pointed out that an all-out struggle between them can only be a protracted war. "Exchanging space for time" was the correct strategy for China's confrontation at that time.

How can such a military talent let him slip - soft and hard. Take him down, too!

"Nong went north in Shanghai. He wanted to go to Tianjin. Jiang Fangzhen opened the purse. Take out a letter from inside. To Cai.

"It's farming. I'm going to go to the Beiyang Army. "Brother Baili. Don't you also want to go to the Beiyang Army? Zhao Bei felt uncomfortable, and Cai was pulled over by the Restoration Society. Zhang Xiaozhun went to Yuan Shikai again. If this Jiang Fangzhen runs away again. That would be a failure.

Jiang Fang sighed. said: "When I returned to China from Rìmoto. I went to the Beiyang New Army to see it. Although the military appearance is neat. Although the equipment is jīng, the military lacks the breath of the new era that it should have. In my opinion, Beiyang is nothing more than an old-style army trained in new methods with new military uniforms and weapons. On the army. I don't see any hope against the great powers. At that time, Songpa said it well in the "Xinmin Cong Bao". China's weakness is not only in the body. Weaker in thought! The Beiyang Army looks strong. But what keeps the morale of the military alive is still the same old as it used to be. Official position and money only. On the steamer, I read a few recent new newspapers that mentioned the various new policies in Hubei, which seemed to be very different from the past. If this is the case in civil affairs, what about the military and political aspects? I'm going to go to Hubei first. If the Republican Army has a new breath. I stayed in Hubei. I'm afraid that the commander-in-chief won't accept it. ”

Zhao Bei couldn't help but be happy. I let go of my heart. smiled: "Of course accept!" You can come to Hubei. Of course the IRA is welcome! ”

"Brother Baili. You are straightforward. I recommended myself. "Teasingly.

"No, it's not straightforward. The army is not strong. The country is not strong. China in this era. It is still up to the military to save it. Jiang Fangzhen sighed.

"Recently, Mongolia in the northeast has not been peaceful. rì ben and russia stupid yù move. I want to take advantage of the chaos of the situation to fish in troubled waters. We can't afford to be on guard. Although the strength of the army does not happen overnight. But earlier a rì. It was early that I had the strength to protect myself. ”

"Brother Baili. This is reassuring. We all want to make China strong. We revolutionary soldiers. To participate in the revolution is to expel the great powers. Strong China. ”

Zhao Bei nodded repeatedly. snatched the bag in Jiang Fangzhen's hand. Say, "Go." Go to the Yellow Crane Tower first. Let's pick you up and wash the dust. Seeing Jiang Fangzhen's face stunned. Cai Dao: "Brother Baili." You don't need to be surprised. This is the commander-in-chief pretending to be a public servant. You've just returned home. Big don't know. The commander-in-chief usually eats with the soldiers in the company below. Eat the same meal, the same dish. It's rare to see it. Whenever a distinguished guest arrives. It's always so fake. One is to entertain guests. Second, let's go. It's also for a tooth sacrifice. Sacrifice to your own temple. ”

"Huh. It's not a fake public benefit. Private banquets are all paid for out of my own pocket. Not a penny of public funds was spent. Zhao Bei said in a scripture. Cai's words are not too exaggerated. However, most of Zhao Bei's monthly salary is also invested in restaurants. Fortunately, he is now a single. No one is listening to it.

"The art of war says: The one who is the same up and down wins. It's no wonder that the army can carry the beam of life alone. There is a commander-in-chief who leads by example. Who of the officers below dared not to treat the soldiers as human beings? Jiang Fangzhen said with emotion. He pointed to the bag. said: "This bag contains a lot of books on virtue [**] affairs. It's all in German. Translation. The commander-in-chief rushed over. Could it be that you want to take it for yourself? ”

Several people looked at each other and smiled. They all scrambled to carry the bag. Don't give in. Captain Tian Jinfu couldn't stand it anymore. Rushed over and snatched it away. It can be regarded as the solution to this "bag dispute".
