Chapter 306: The Ninth Town of the New Army
(2nd Update)
The Purple Mountain has a good scenery, the trees are abundant, the scenery is pleasant, all directions, all are beautiful, from a distance, Nanjing City is only at the foot. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Mr. Wang, how is it?"
Ye Kai is naturally the team of the Praetorian Guard.
"From this point of view, I feel that Lianggong is a thunder army under the rule of Lianggong." Wang Jingwei's words are not exaggerated, indeed, looking down from the bottom of the mountain, the queue is not straight, it is clear and clear, if it is oblique and scattered, it can be seen at a glance, I have to say that in the Chinese army, Ye Kai's Praetorian Guard is second to none.
"Haha, Mr. Wang praised it falsely."
Ye Kai smiled and said, "It's also a pleasure to be able to enjoy the scenery here with Mr. Wang." ”
Wang Jingwei naturally smiled from ear to ear, this is indeed a beautiful scenery, all the way to see while walking, the mountain is filled with a ripe aroma of melons and fruits, particularly sobering.
Ye Kai's gaze stretched out into the distance.
"Shuangming, what kind of troops are there?" Ye Kai stretched out his hand and pointed.
Lu Shuangming looked over there, watched for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Commander, that's Zhang Xun's patrol battalion and Xu Shaozhen's ninth town. ”
"It's weird.." Ye Kai muttered quietly, already guessing something in his heart.
The strange thing that Ye Kai said was that the positions of the two armies, one in front and one behind, were located on both sides of the Lion Rock, and the troops were almost staggered together, and from a distance, the "head" of the patrol battalion was just against the "waist and abdomen" of the ninth town, and in turn, the "body" of the ninth town almost enveloped the patrol battalion, and the two armies were in a peculiar confrontation situation.
I have long heard that under the city of Nanjing, the old and new armies have always been at odds, but I didn't expect that even the "shape" was so distinctive.
Ye Kai shook his head, pointed to the position of the "head" and asked, "What kind of troops is over there?" ”
Lu Shuangming said: "The first battalion of patrol and the thirty-three standards of the ninth town"
Ye Kai nodded and said to Wang Jingwei: "Mr. Wang, do you know Xu Shaozhen, the commander of the Ninth Town?" ”
"Which Xu Shaozhen?" Wang Jingwei hesitated for a while, then changed his words: "Is it that Xu Guqing?" Recognize. After a moment, he added, "I know Premier Sun very well." ”
When Xu Shaozhen met with Sun Yat-sen in Japan, Wang Jingwei had a relationship with him, at that time, he was also Sun Yat-sen's secretary, and Xu Shaozhen was the supervisor of Jiangning's military garrison department, presiding over the preparation of the new army.
His name, Wang Jingwei is still clear, and he did not hide Ye Kai.
"I have long heard that Xu Tong is a member of the party, and he is indeed a loyal person." Ye Kaidao.
"General Xu is only one of the tens of millions of party members in the Qing court, and he does not hide from the good public, except for the Guangzhou New Army in the south, the Beiyang Army in the north, Central China, East China, and the ranks of the New Army, six or seven out of ten are revolutionaries." Wang Jingwei said confidently.
Although this sentence is somewhat exaggerated, it basically explains the current situation: The reason why revolution prevails in the new army mainly stems from the grassroots level of soldiers, who are not big-headed soldiers who do not know a word, but middle and high-level intellectuals who have studied in schools, and naturally have a natural favorable impression of the revolution and also have a very deep foundation in the ranks of the new army.
"Since he is a 'revolutionary comrade', this governor is willing to pay a visit, is Mr. Wang willing to go with him?" Ye Kai suddenly proposed.
"Good" Wang Jingwei naturally would not refuse, and gladly accepted.
"Xiaoguang, inform Xu Shaozhen that the governor will personally inspect the ninth town."
"Yes, Marshal."
....
Inspect the ninth town, everything is in Ye Kai's careful plan, a few days ago Ye Kai held a military and political meeting, Xu Shaozhen said that he was ill and did not go, and he happened to take advantage of this opportunity to meet Xu Shaozhen, a dragon and tiger figure, of course, his main purpose is Zhang Xun opposite.
In Jiangning City, Xu Shaozhen is a revolutionary news, no need to deliberately conceal, almost everyone knows, as early as the establishment of the Ninth Town, he infiltrated this revolutionary trend into all aspects of the army, in recent years, through his hands into the League of middle and senior generals, no less than 30 people, and this, the then Liangjiang Governor Duan Fang was aware of it, and there were many suspicions about Xu and his new army Ninth Town, and Zhang Renjun, who later took over as the Governor of Liangjiang, became even more serious about his attitude, not only deducting military salaries, but also making it difficult to supply ammunition. Zhang Xun's troops were also transferred to the surrounding area to monitor day and night, and because of this, Xu Shaozhen never dared to act rashly.
This gave Ye Kai enough room to show, he was not Zhang Renjun, nor Duanfang.
A few hours later, Ye Kai and the others drove to the Ninth Town station, and Xu Shaozhen's adjutant Cui Shiqi led people to greet them.
"Good Governor, the ruler is waiting in the camp, please!" After saying that, he led the way alone, without looking.
"Dashuai, who is this person! Even an adjutant is such a big shelf! ”
Zhang Xiaoguang frowned and muttered, he was very dissatisfied with this person's blunt attitude, Ye Kai didn't care.
"In the first year of Xuantong, several Guanjiao of the Ninth Town conspired to assassinate the Governor of Liangjiang Duanfang, and the incident leaked, five people were executed, and more than a dozen people were killed, and then, the new Governor Zhang Renjun was wary of them in every way, and they naturally did not have a good impression of the Governor of Liangjiang." Ye Kai whispered.
"Isn't that handsome?" Zhang Xiaoguang changed color all of a sudden.
"It's okay, we're just visiting, not using knives and guns."
The big handsome spoke, and Zhang Xiaoguang had to eat his worries in his stomach, but he was still uneasy in his heart.
As he was talking, the group arrived at the camp, where Xu Shaozhen was waiting.
"See the good governor" Xu Shaozhen did not bow down, only saluted a military salute, then stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, "Lord Governor, sit in the barracks." ”
Ye Kai took the lead to enter, followed by Zhang Xiaoguang and Lu Shuangming, and when his eyes caught a glimpse of Wang Jingwei, Xu Shaozhen's face suddenly turned sharply.
"Is Brother Gu Qing's illness better?" As soon as he sat down, Ye Kai asked.
"Thanks to the good governor's care, the last general's illness has been cured." Xu Shaozhen nodded and replied, his eyes never leaving Wang Jingwei beside Ye Kai.
"Xu Tongzhi is in good health, so I can rest assured." Ye Kai said something that was neither salty nor light.
"The new army is the important weapon of the country, is the foundation of the Qing Dynasty's survival, the imperial court ordered the formation of the new army of the thirty-six towns, nothing more than to protect the people in the territory and resist foreign humiliation, I heard that the ninth town under the control of Xu has always been famous, and it is also, the ninth town guards the southeast, and the burden on your body is not small."
"It is my duty to protect the territory and the people, and it is my duty to resist external humiliation, as for the rest, I can't remember." Xu Shaozhen said expressionlessly.
Ye Kai didn't think much about it, and continued: "The governor went to Jiangning on the front foot, and there was a rumor on the back foot, it is rumored that Xu Tongzhi is a revolutionary and has a close personal relationship with Sun Wen, I don't know if this rumor is true?" ”
"Whoa, whoa, whoa"
As soon as Ye Kai finished speaking, a line of soldiers poured out outside. (To be continued.) )
