Chapter 259: Undecided
The magistrate of Lu County was shocked when he heard the news, and immediately ordered the police chief Li Jiacheng to lead all the military and police in the city to hold the city, and sent people to Taonan to report the emergency and ask for reinforcements; He also sent someone to the Guogong Mansion of the Right Rear Banner of the Branch and asked the Zhenguo Gong to restrain him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 At this time, the magistrate of Lu did not know that Rashiminjur was the commander of the rebellion.
The next morning, the rebels swarmed from the east. Although Li Jiacheng led the army to resist hard, the county seat of Zhendong was not built, and there was no barrier to rely on, and the Mongolian soldiers in the city set fire to chaos, and coordinated with each other outside the city. For a time, the flames were in the sky, gunfire rang out, and the order in the city was chaotic. Li Jiacheng was at a loss for a while, and seeing that the troops had lost confidence in combat, he had no choice but to protect the dependents of the county magistrate and some officials, break through from the west of the city, and flee to Jing'an County (Baichengzi).
The rebels captured the county seat, opened warehouses, loaded food and goods into vehicles, and held a grand banquet to celebrate the first victory. At the same time, Li Shuxun was released and sent home, and reported to Rashiminjur to listen to the order.
After Lu Qingzeng fled to Jing'an County, he learned that he had fallen for the rebels' tricks, and he was extremely embarrassed, and decided to regroup and recapture the county seat. Therefore, he invited 200 local garrisons, together with more than 100 people under Li Jiacheng's department, to form a force and launched a surprise attack on the rebel-occupied Zhendong county town at midnight on the second day.
Carried away by the victory, Urta was reveling and slackening his defenses, not expecting the officers and troops to counterattack so quickly. As soon as the guns and cannons rang out, I don't know how many officers and soldiers came, panicked, only symbolically resisted, and then abandoned the city and fled east.
After Urta fled from the county seat of Zhendong, he led more than 500 rabble, burning and looting all the way, doing all kinds of evil, and the blood of the Mongolian and Han people stained the land of Zhendong red.
At the same time, Yao Yuping, commander of the Northeast Military Region, had already ordered the troops of Heilongjiang Province to be stationed in Jingxing and Longjiang. Alert the line along the Nenjiang River, and attack the Zhenguo Mansion; Cao Kun, commander of the Jilin garrison, sent troops to the front line of Xincheng (Buyeo), Nong'an, Changling, and Daben to intercept the Russian army from sending troops to support the rebels. In addition, artillery battalions and cavalry battalions were also dispatched from the Xinmintun garrison to guard the Liaohe area and advance to Zhengjiatun to stand by.
Tsarist Russia secretly dispatched more than a thousand people from Fularji. Entering the war zone and standing by, they also gathered troops on the Middle East Road and the North Manchurian Branch Railway, putting on a posture of eagerness to try.
Sun Baojin, the magistrate of Taonan County, saw that there were more and more rebels in front of him, and there was only a water gap between him and Taonan, once the rebels began to attack the city, the diorama would be demolished, and it would be too late to escape at that time. Moreover, Wu Junsheng's reinforcements were delayed, so he decided to lead his troops to abandon the city and retreat in the direction of Zhengjiatun with his officials.
At this critical juncture, Wu Junsheng personally led three cavalry battalions to leave the brigade. Day and night, he rushed to Taonan County from another road and entered the city before the rebels. When the farmers and industrialists in the city saw that the government army was coming, and they were well prepared, the people's hearts were at ease, and order was stabilized.
Wu Junsheng is short and fat, and he is rude. When he was young, he suffered from frostbite in his mouth, so that he could not speak clearly. It's often stumbling, hmm, hmm. was jokingly called "Wu Big Tongue". He looks mediocre on the outside, giving the impression of being silly and silly, but he is really cunning.
Wu Junsheng grew up in a poor peasant family, and at the age of seven or eight, he began to whip cattle and horses for the local Wang Dadian family, earning one or two taels of silver a year to subsidize the family. Every morning at dawn, he drives the herds to graze on the grasslands. When night falls, the herd can be gathered and returned to the owner's house.
This poor "stableman" was ragged and snotty "across the river", and the men did not want to share a table with him when the meal was served. But Wu Junsheng is very good at serving his master diligently, so he is very loved. and adopted as a adopted son. Because of his long-term herding and familiarity with horse nature, he developed a good horsemanship, which made him more comfortable selling horses and cavalry than others.
When he grew up, in order to find a way out, he wandered in the horse market, became accustomed to the horse industry, and acted as a horse dealer and broker. Wu Junsheng "galloped to test the sword, and his arm strength was superb. At that time, he was a merchant gunner, a thief escaped, and he was peaceful. Since he was determined to join the army and wanted to be in the army", he joined the Liaoyuan Capture and Theft Battalion as a leader, and was only 17 years old at the time.
At that time, there was a popular saying among the people: "A good man is not a soldier, and a good iron is not a nail", and the soldier was regarded as an incompetent person or a scoundrel. In order to get rid of poverty, Wu Junsheng had no choice but to go to the disgusting military camp to get involved, and first worked as a gangman in the robbery camp. Because Wu Junsheng was both accustomed to horses and good at riding and shooting, he soon became a horseman and managed military horses. When he was twenty years old, Wu Junsheng borrowed money to buy a one-eyed horse with a pair of incomplete saddles funded by his father-in-law Wang Dadian, and chiseled a wooden pedal by himself to complete the saddle, so that he became a formal cavalryman.
After becoming a cavalryman, Wu Junsheng was still favored and loved by his superiors and partners because of his "hard-working and courageous strategy". In the crusade against the bandits in Hailong, Tonghua and other areas, the bandits in Jilin, the bandits in western Liaoning, and the bandits in Fengmi Mountain, he was brave and brave, and he was often the vanguard of the army when he retreated, so he was valued by the Shengjing generals Zengqi, Zhao Erxun, and Xu Shichang, and was repeatedly promoted and appointed as the commander of the rear road patrol battalion.
After the success of the first uprising of the Guangzhou Revolution, the whole country was shaken. At this time, Wu Junsheng's troops were fighting against bandits outside, and after receiving the news, they also wanted to be loyal to the imperial court. However, first, he did not receive an order, and second, his chief of staff, Gao Xi, was a smart man and advised him to stand still and wait and see how the situation developed in a complicated situation.
This practice is not unusual, that is, to see clearly before placing a bet, saving the old money accumulated over the years. Besides, there is still a new army stationed in Fengtian City, and there has always been a contradiction between the new army and the old army.
The development of the revolutionary situation in Guannai was unexpected, the Qing Dynasty saw that it was hopeless, Xiliang expressed his attitude, and the revolutionary army landed in Liaodong to control the situation in the northeast.
Wu Junsheng saw that Zhang Zuolin was first defeated and then detained by Thunder Means, and he also became the commander of the mixed brigade, so he changed his course and expressed his support for the Democratic Republic.
Wu Junsheng, Zhang Zuolin and others, who were born in a reckless background, believe in the philosophy of survival that depends on the strong, just as Zhang Zuolin once generously stated: "They all say that I Zhang Zuolin has been a beard, who the hell have I taken a broom pimple?" At that time, I just didn't accept the **** management. Later, Japan and Russia went to war, and the foreign devils planned to use us. We are sometimes used by them to get weapons. At that time, I had to rob and cheat, all in order to arm myself and survive. Later, I felt that I would not cooperate with the government. I can't make a big deal, I followed the Qing Dynasty in order to get them to be my backing. What's up? What's disgraceful. ”
The liberation was restored, the republic was republiced, the officials were promoted, and the food and salary were still received. It doesn't seem to affect anything. But Wu Junsheng understood in his heart that the Baath Party was in power, and the old boss who used to appreciate him was gone, and the army was removing the old and adding the new, gradually changing the nature of a private army. If he wants to continue to climb up, he has to re-pave the road, or make some achievements for people to see.
Of course. There are many people who think like him, and Feng Delin, Zhang Zuoxiang, and others have recently worked hard in the crackdown on bandits, and they have already been commended by the military region. This reminded Wu Junsheng that when Zhang Zuolin first surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he was also so brave and took the lead, fought hard for a year, and finally won a major victory, and was rewarded by the Qing court, so as to be equal to himself.
So. Seeing that the brigade was blocked, Wu Junsheng personally led the cavalry battalion to make a detour. The fast horse did not get off the saddle, and finally took the lead and entered Taonan County before the enemy.
When Lama Xiletu and others learned that Wu Junsheng had arrived with his troops, they were both panicked and remorseful. Wu Junsheng has been fighting in the Taoliao area for many years and is quite prestigious. Now he has been promoted to brigade commander, and the army has been expanded. And I heard that a batch of "five-eyed guns" has just been replaced, and a few "long-range seat guns" have been brought with me. Compared with others, their own "Bereda" guns and a few small foreign cannons are not half a little worse.
Utai hurriedly convened with Lama Siltu, Nuoqing, and Shuodai to discuss countermeasures. At the meeting, some people fought and some withdrew. There are people who are in harmony, and there are different opinions, so that Utai can't make up his mind. The war is afraid of defeat, the retreat is afraid of being pursued, and the peace is controlled by others, and there is no hope of a comeback.
At this moment, a man stood up and said loudly, "King of the county, I have a few urgent things to say. ”
Wutai's eyes lit up, and he said secretly: Why did you forget the tall master? He had fought with Wu Junsheng, so he might have some ideas.
A few years ago, he gathered some hooligans, scoundrels, and scoundrels and pulled up a small number of people, about 200 people, entrenched in a place called Wang's Waizi. At the beginning, he fought against the pirate camp, but he also won one victory after another. Later, Wu Junsheng came by order, analyzed it carefully, and believed that the reason for the defeat was mostly caused by the rash advance of the enemy. So, Wu Junsheng was willing to take risks, disguised himself as a veterinarian who went to the square, went to reconnoitre, and finally found out the truth and reality, defeated the noble locks in one fell swoop, and was promoted to a pipe belt.
Noble was defeated, and fled with only eight of his brothers, until he reached a place called Huli Rabbit, where he laid a nest and regrouped. It is sparsely populated, and there are only a few families of Mongolian and Han herdsmen living in a sparse area every 60 or 70 miles. On the wasteland within a radius of 300 miles, Gao Gui pulled up a lock of more than 30 people, and then rushed into the relatively wealthy areas around the right rear banner of the branch, and gradually expanded to about 100 people. Since there are dozens of Mongolian herders among them, the common people call them "bastards".
In order to contain the Mongolian bandits under his command, Gao Gui set up the more authoritative Dunbaru as the second cabinet. Through various connections, Donbaru went online with Rashiminerjura and became a peripheral force in the Lord's Mansion.
Utai planned a rebellion, so he naturally pulled people around. The 100 bandits who had been recommended by Rashimindrup were very happy, and they were very happy and hospitable to the nobles, and made them an army of their own, which they called the "advance army" before driving. It was led by Gao Gui, and Donbaru was the chief of staff.
Noble, he wanted to use the power of Wutai and the assistance of Tsarist Russia and Outer Mongolia to expand his armed forces, so as to make the royal family ashamed. If you can really level the official army, maybe you can soar from this!
Seeing that Gao Gui stood up to speak, Wu Tai hurriedly greeted him enthusiastically and urged: "Gao Commander, what is the plan, please tell me quickly." ”
"We didn't expect the Han army to come so quickly, and to enter the city first and occupy a favorable position. In this way, we are a little passive. But the men and horses led by the king of the county are all heavenly soldiers and generals, and they are blessed by the living Buddha-" Gao Gui deliberately stopped his words and watched Wutai's reaction.
"Commander Gao means to attack the county seat?" Utai asked, uncertain.
"It's just that I saw a bright star in the city last night heading straight towards Hehan, I don't know what the sign is?" Noble blinked, and said something mysterious.
"It's Wu Junsheng, then, that's difficult." Urta said hesitantly.
"As long as this bright star is defeated, it will be easy for our army to win." The Shuodai Lama said as if he had realized something.
"Yes, yes! The bright star must be defeated, but—" Uthai looked embarrassed, "who has the ability?" ”
"Of course this is a very difficult thing, if the true gods are in the world, who has the ability and guts?" Gao Gui echoed.
Utai glanced to the four to see who the true god was, and hoped that he himself would stand up bravely. However, everywhere he looked, there were people who were silent, and even the "living Buddhas" tried to avoid his eyes, which could not help but turn his newly raised hope into ashes.
Gao Gui felt that it was time, stepped forward and arched his hand, and said: "King of the county, Gao is not talented, and he is willing to accept this responsibility." ”
"Huh?!" Wutai was surprised and delighted, and said, "The high commander is going to take the lead? ”
"No, I'm going to drill into the heart of the Han army!" Gao Gui said firmly.
"Oh?!" Utai was stunned by the noble bold idea.
"I'll enter the city in disguise and look for an opportunity to kill Wu Junsheng!" Gao Gui said viciously.
Utai was overjoyed, and the gloom on his face disappeared immediately. Secret Dao: I also want to send someone to enter the Han army, kill the leader, and take advantage of the chaos of the Han army to attack the city in one fell swoop, and I will definitely win. It's just that none of my subordinates are competent, and now you are volunteering to enter the city and assassinate, which is exactly what I wanted.
Utai took the noble hand, shook it vigorously, and said loudly to everyone: "Commander Gao is really a god descending from heaven, let us all come to worship him." ”
As if they had been savior, everyone stood up suddenly, clasped their hands together, and bowed down.
The noble man held Wutai with both hands, and said humbly: "What virtue does your subordinate have to dare to worship the king of Lao County and all your lords?" Things are burning urgently, we can't delay any longer, and my majesty will say goodbye! With that, he turned and walked out of the tent. As soon as he took a few steps, he turned around and came back, and whispered to Wutai: "If the assassination fails, I will surrender and bring my subordinates into the city, and then join forces with the outside to annihilate the Han army in one fell swoop!" ”
Utai said yes repeatedly, for fear that Gao Gui would change his mind. Xindao: Go quickly, go quickly, if you succeed, it is naturally good, if you don't succeed, it is not a big deal to die a few Han people.
Wu Junsheng led his troops into the county seat of Taonan, and did not rush to fight, but according to custom, he immediately sent people to investigate the situation of the rebels.
It has now been ascertained that although there are two or three thousand rebels, except for a few hundred diehards, they are all herdsmen who are coerced and instigated. Not only did they have no combat experience, but they had never even done target shooting, and most of them had just learned to shoot guns. (To be continued.) )
