Chapter 145: Brother Pao's Family
1908 Far East Madman Chapter 145 Pao Brother Family
When Zhu Daniu's special operations battalion was busy transferring the battalion. At the confluence of the Wujiang River. A lifeless city has been completely shrouded in night. It was pitch black inside and outside the city. Only a few lights on the city walls.
This is the state. The important town of the river. 山城chóngqìng|hu. Hold on here. It is equivalent to holding Chóngqìng and Chengdu.
Ever since the news of the Republican Army's westward march came out. Zhao Erxun, the governor of Sichuan, mobilized all the armies in central Sichuan. And in the middle of the Sichuan and the south of the strong pull|ding. Cobbled together an army of 200,000. In addition, the reinforcements of Xiliang, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and Shengyun, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, were trained by their respective regiments. The total strength of the Qing army in Sichuan has indeed reached the scale of 150,000 men. But more than half of the 150,000 did not have decent weapons. Guns are sharp. All that remains is the broadsword spear. The number of troops armed with breech guns was only fifty or sixty thousand. And there are many models of rifles. Ammunition replenishment is difficult. Morale is not high. Extreme lack of artillery. The original rì mountain-building artillery was also left unused because of the dismissal of the new army. I had to catch the ducks. The Overseer's Guard was reorganized into artillery. However, due to the liberation of Hubei, the Yangtze River channel was cut off. The foreign also no longer provides arms. Completely cut off the source of shells. Use one shot less than one shot. Artillery became a shelf. To make up the numbers. Even the "field chicken cannon" and "mountain splitting artillery" that the Hunan army encircled and suppressed the Taiping Army were dragged out to wipe off the spots on the barrel. Erect the head of the city and strengthen the courage.
Zhao Erxun is well aware of the importance of the state. This is where the Republican Army must pass through on its westward march. Don't be careful. Therefore, 50,000 heavy troops were placed in the vicinity of the state. There are more than 20,000 people in the state town alone. Ma Weitong, the governor of Sichuan, took into account the advanced age of Ma Daren and sent Tian Zhenbang, the chief soldier of Jianchang Town, to assist. The order Zhao Erxun gave them was simple: hold on and not retreat.
But in the eyes of the chief soldier Tian Zhenbang. This command is stupid. Facing the Republican Army's Western Expeditionary Force, known as the 110,000 Army. ==First. Fa == Where do the 50,000 rabble "defend" live? Let alone. In order to defend Chengdu, most of the artillery stayed in the provincial wall. Most of the old breech-loading guns were erected at the head of the state city. Only two breech mounts were withdrawn. Just with this equipment. How can you resist the vigorous Republican Army?
One after another telegrams of aid were photographed in Chengdu. But the call back was a cold four words: "Hold on and wait for help". Reinforcements? Where are the reinforcements? There is the Sichuan People's Army in northern Sichuan. blocked the southward passage of the Qing army in Shaanxi. Tens of thousands of patrol battalions in Sichuan were also pinned down in Shunqing, Tongchuan, Mianzhou. If they are transferred to the south, it is equivalent to opening the gateway to northern Sichuan. The people's army can drive straight into Chengdu. Zhao Erxun didn't dare to take risks; Kawanishi is a dish of the Tibetan side toast. A few years ago, the imperial court had a new policy. It's noisy, chickens and dogs jumping. Tusi regarded the officers and soldiers as tigers. Where will Zhao Erxun of Ba Bu send troops to help? If you don't take advantage of the fire, thank God; South Sichuan and Yunnan Guizhou are connected. But there are high mountains and dense forests, and miasma is everywhere. Some time ago, the governor of Rì Ziyun, Xiliang, sent aid to Sichuan. At the time of departure it was 5,000 soldiers. By the time of Chóngqìng, there were only 3,000 soldiers left. The rest of the soldiers did not die of illness on the way. Just fled. Either they were taken captive by the Toast Heads along the way. I became a slave baby.
Ahh I can't count on this reinforcement. The defenders of the state city can only resist the republican army on their own, whether they are willing to defend it on the one hand, whether they are willing to defend it or not, on the other hand, the governor of Sichuan, Ma Wei, is old. In his heart, he was willing to be a martyr of the Qing Dynasty, but Tian Zhenbang had not yet made up his mind. Is it to be a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty or a hero of peace?
Just when the people of the field are in a dilemma. Someone he broke the siege.
It's not the one who wants to come to relieve Tian Zhenbang. It's a bunch of people. They are all officers who have eaten in the patrol battalion for many years. These people, in addition to being military personnel. and all of them have the same identity without exception: Brother Pao.
With the majority of the party of this era. Brother Pao attached his historical origins to the turbulent years of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. According to the robe buddy. The founder of the Pao Brother organization was Chen Jinnan, the general under the seat of the "National Surname Ye". And this Chen Jinnan is also one of the founders of Southern Hongmen. Therefore. The robe buddies consider themselves to be from the Hongmen tribe. It is also our duty to oppose Qingming. Whether the legend is true or not. And it is. The origin of Brother Kawanaka is indeed very early. And throughout the Qing Dynasty. Brother Pao has always been with the court. Although it's all a little trouble. There is no climate. But no one dares to underestimate the energy of this non-governmental secret society. Hundreds of years of history. It has made its tentacles extend to every corner of society. Whether it is civil officialdom or the military. There is the shadow of Brother Pao. in Sichuan. Even an organization like the Elder Brothers. can't compete with Brother Pao. Brother Pao. It is the head snake of Sichuan.
Tian Zhenbang is also the head snake. Robe Gori. He rows the "" flag. I sat in the fifth row. It is commonly known as the "Red Flag Steward". Most of the patrol battalion soldiers under his command were his "righteous banner" brothers. Although his ranking is not. But in hand is the power of the army. Even the seniors in the robe did not dare to despise it. I saw the shout "Fifth Brother".
This kind of situation of a full camp of robes is very common in the Sichuan army. In the eyes of the soldiers. Only by joining Brother Pao can he be rescued and cared for when he is injured. And in the opinion of the official. If you don't get the title of a robe brother. It is also the command of the immovable troops. This kind of existence only exists in the Sichuan army. Patrol battalions in other provinces and even in the Forces nouvelles existed. The party is pervasive. Corroding every aspect. This is a social phenomenon. It is not something that can be solved by a single order from the government. Only the Republican Army had the means to be determined to gradually purge the party elements.
As the deputy commander of the state city. Tian Zhenbang lives in the county office. However, Ma Wei, the governor of Sichuan, was not grand enough. Moved back to the barracks to live in the Chinese Military University. This made it convenient for Tian Zhenbang to contact people privately.
To prevent the partition wall from having ears. Tian Bang deliberately chose the meeting in the back garden of the county office. A few cronies sat in the pavilion. Even the servants who were waiting were far away.
"Fifth brother. There can be no further hesitation. We've all built [**] flyers. I said it. Whoever is the first to lift it in the city. Let whoever does it be "| Nanwang"! If we respond to the construction of [**] in the city to raise righteousness. Later, Xuzhou Prefecture Jiading Ningyuan Xuyong. These four mansions and one hall are the world of our robe brother. Except for the salt tax. The rest of the tax donations are all drawn by ourselves. A scar-faced man babbled. I don't know if it's because of excitement. The scars on his face were red and purple.
"Irikawa's [**] was built by the Republican Army. I've heard about it. in Hubei. The Republican Army is not allowed to stand on the hill of our party. Wouldn't the flyer be for us? Another man reminded.
"Black letters. Lao Tzu didn't believe it. He, Zhao Bei, Zhao Zhenhua, can still eat what he said! A head snake that is difficult for a strong dragon to suppress. And the army is an outsider. Can you still point fingers at our heads? Besides. At the beginning, he sent a telegram to support Yuan Xiang. Isn't it also a reversal now? I think. This man is also a righteous man. If you say it, you will hit a pit. The scarface retorted.
"I can't say anything. It is the trend of the times for Yuan Xiangcheng to become a big president. Not by him, Zhao Bei does not support it. But what about us? We're just little robes in Sichuan. To pack them up. There are ways to do it. A middle-aged man who looked like a master shook his head and said. Da Tian actually held a white-faced folding fan in his hand. Fan back and forth from time to time.
"What the idle master said makes sense. Let's be careful. Tian Zhen nodded.
"That's what you mean. Why are we just waiting to be shot'? You haven't seen those speed guns. blinker; can "knock knock" more than a dozen shots. It's much more powerful than our two backs. The scar-faced man blushed. If it weren't for the fact that the position of the "" robe brother was higher than Tian Zhenbang. I'm afraid he's already reprimanded it loudly.
"It's not." The "folding fan" turned white with a white scar. The white-faced folding fan in his hand was closed. I knocked it in the palm of my hand. Only then did he unhurriedly tell the truth.
"Our state, although not those fortified cities in the Central Plains. But it took advantage of it. There is a big river in front of it. There are mountains behind it. It's easy to defend and hard to attack. This is called "the profit"; These rìzi caught up with chūn again. The river is rising. The current is fast. Even the veteran style of boating in the Sichuan River did not dare to be careless. This is called "heavenly time"; Now the Forces nouvelles have been dispersed. The governor of Sichuan paid the army again. The morale of the patrol battalion was greatly boosted. They are all Sichuan people. A lot of them also hid Brother Pao. Hatred of the same enemy. This is called "harmony"; The time is good for people. We've got all three. Visible. If this battle really starts. It's not that we don't have the capital to fight. Now I don't need a hot face to stick a cold ass. If you don't fight, you will surrender. This is a taboo since the ancient army. Never. In my opinion. Not only can't we come down now. And also to stick to the state. It's good to build [**] and see. We-|The Sichuan army is not all gnocchi. This is called "selling at a price". When the time comes, it will not be able to build [**] for a long time. The price will definitely be raised. We can bargain. What is the Four Mansions and One Hall? Let's swallow the whole of southern Sichuan! Now the situation. That's the situation in troubled times. It's like the three kingdoms rising together. First down, first out. The latter may not be extinguished. Who knows. After the dry year. Isn't this the world's family from our robe brothers? No matter how bad it is. We also have to learn from the queen Liu Chan. Sit down firmly. Divide one side. What can I do? ”
And they heard this. Great interest. Tian Zhenbang applauded again and again. The scar-faced man also looked salivating. Sit the world. It's an exaggeration. But it doesn't have to be a white dream. The storyteller in the museum didn't just say it. Back then, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was born in the Demon Sect of Eating Vegetables. There is another emperor from a robe brother's family. But there's nothing surprising about it.
