Chapter Ninety-Three: Horse Hairs
There is really no word for this verse. I drink it every day. But please rest assured, the speed of one order a day can be guaranteed.
In the three northeastern provinces, since the Qing army entered the customs, the ethnic hierarchy and isolation system were implemented, and the Han people were strictly forbidden to enter Manchuria's "land of Longxing" for cultivation - a ban on customs was promulgated. Shunzhi once warned the Manchurian nobles to retreat to the Kwantung region, and Yongzheng said that "the prince of the Emperor of Yidi" was "not Chinese". Under the pretext of "the place where the ancestors rejuvenated the king" to protect the "benefits of the mountains and the Pearl River", the northeast has been banned for a long time, and the three eastern provinces have been vast and sparsely populated. In addition, the transportation is inconvenient, although the products are abundant, but the income of ordinary people is not high, and the Manchus are expropriating everywhere, which also responds to the old saying: poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people. It's just that the Diao people here are different from other places, they have directly become bandits, but the local people are more accustomed to being called Ma Dianzi. Since the Qing Dynasty, the number of bandits here has increased and the power has grown. Some can simply compete with the officers and soldiers, and the imperial court has not not entered and suppressed, and after the suppression is completed, another place is born, so later, as long as it is not too much, the officers and soldiers are too lazy to care.
There is a mountain called Gushan in the east of Mukden, which is the nest of the largest horse hairlock plugged in the northeast. Speaking of plugging and flying to the northeast, it can be said that everyone knows that they started from the grassland, and fought all the way to the northeast to occupy the mountains as kings. Plug on the fly is thoughtful and good at management, more than ten years later, the gathering of more than 1,000 people. His banner was loud throughout the Northeast. But now there is no such person in this world, and his fame has become another fast-rising young man - the Black Whirlwind Liang King of Lonely Mountain Qingfeng Village.
No one knows where this King Liang came from, or what his name is. At the beginning of July this year, a group of more than 300 people suddenly appeared east of Mukden, and they never robbed houses, but the traders on the road suffered. Since they basically appeared on Saishangfei's territory, the vendors who had already paid protection money to Saishangfei were not happy. However, after a month, these traders no longer paid any protection fees to Sai Shangfei, but turned to hand it over to the king of the head beam of the road. And this King Liang really does not have a fixed cottage, and he is mobile to commit crimes. If you're lucky, you might not be able to run into this road banditry, and you can save a lot of protection money.
Plug Fei was not happy to lose his protection money, and he began to encircle and suppress the horses. But this King Liang wandered around, and he couldn't find anyone several times. Because the plug on the fly is the strongest, the northeast horses have already seen the plug on the Pegasus as the first to look forward, so they have provided news. He didn't expect that the various horsetails he recruited everywhere were no match for others. This road is strong, not only with a machine gun, but also with bullets, which are not used for money, and stubbornly repels his three attacks. This time, the other horsemaidens have an idea, it turns out that you can't fly if you plug it, and then you start to work hard.
Annoyed and angry, Sai Shangfei gathered a few other cottage owners who had a very strong relationship, and discussed how to deal with this group of people who didn't understand the rules in Qingfeng Village. I was preparing to gather all the brothers in the cottage to kill the next day, but I didn't expect King Liang to come to the door that night.
When the crisp sound of the rifle sounded, Sai Shangfei said proudly: Lao Tzu is already lucky not to trouble him, and he dares to knock on the door, which just saves Lao Tzu from looking for him. But he laughed for less than a quarter of an hour, and he couldn't even cry. People are killing up the mountain.
Outside the cottage, gunfire was already coming from all directions, and from the sound he was sure that there were at least two machine guns on each side. I also wanted to rely on the natural mountain of XX Mountain to stubbornly resist Sai Shangfei, but the last glimmer of hope was blown up by the sound of artillery. Three 47mm mountain guns blew up the mountain gate, and King Liang's men had already rushed up the mountain. What kind of bandit is this, with such ferocious firepower?
From the sound of gunshots to the appearance of King Liang at the gate of the Juyi Hall, it was less than an hour. Qingfeng Village changed owners.
King Liang, who got Qingfeng Village, was really quiet, and he didn't go out of the mountain gate for half a month. Half a month later, the entire Northeast bandits were considered to have fallen into bad luck, the larger cottages were directly destroyed, and the smaller cottages had to pay a sufficient amount of protection fees. King Liang's people attacked in all directions, as far south as the Liaodong Peninsula, west to the Mongolian steppe, and as far as Heilongjiang, the skeleton banner of Qingfeng Village appeared. They even crossed the Yalu River to occupy a small local iron ore mine and started an ore business with Asia Mining.
In the Ming Dynasty, the Great Wall of China stretched from Jiayuguan in Gansu Province in the west to the Yalu River in the east, forming a solid military defense line. Now, the Great Wall on the land of Liaoning has disappeared, but those places named after "Taiwan" are where the beacon tower was located in ancient times. In Panjin, there are dozens of places named after "Tai". Compared with all the "platforms", Tianzhuang Terrace is more important: it is located on the right bank of the Liao River, looking at Yingkou in the west, Jinzhou in the east, and the Bohai Sea in the south, and has become a key point to control the invasion of enemy ships into inland rivers by sea. In view of this, in the twenty-seventh year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, that is, in 1394 A.D., a beacon tower was built three kilometers west of the town, and there were heavy guards. By the Qing Dynasty, there were two cannons of 10,000 catties and 12 cannons of more than 5,500 catties.
In the tenth year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1653), the Qing Dynasty issued the "Regulations for Recruiting People and Reclamation in Liaodong", so far, Tianzhuang Tai has been recorded in the historical books and is well documented. In the eighth year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty (1858), the Qing Dynasty opened Niuzhuang as a treaty port, and Tianzhuang became a water transport wharf on the Liao River.
Since the middle of the Qing Dynasty, Tianzhuangtai has been the economic, political, cultural center and military important place in the southern part of the territory, and is a well-known commercial port inside and outside the province.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying: "there is Tiantai first, and then there is Yingkou". Tianzhuangtai is the largest shipping terminal of the Liaohe River earlier than Yingkou, and an important material distribution center in Northeast China. It was called "the land of businessmen and merchants" by the Qing political axe, and it was highly valued. At this time, it was the bank of the Bali River, and there were thousands of boats; The market is bustling, and the shops are lined up. There are more than 300 industrial and commercial shops in various industries, of which there are more than 200 time-honored brands that have been in business for many years, especially Yongyuchang, Guangyongmao, Yishunhua, Shuangxinghe, Yongyuansheng, Renhehao, Taihezhai and Tianyitang. There are also very prosperous perennial surname monopoly markets such as Dongliang Market, Firewood and Grass Market, Xi Market, Meat Market, Fish Market, Vegetable Market, Yiyi City, Livestock City, and Gongfu City. There are also stalls full of snacks and exquisite handicrafts.
The market is bustling, and all kinds of people come and go frequently. Several large horses in the northeast have shops here, and on the surface they are doing business, but in private they are places where they prepare supplies and buy arms, and the brothers come out of the old forest and have a place to stay.
Every noon is the most lively time in the Grange Terrace, the street is full of shoulder to shoulder, bustling, are merchants from the south to the north, the street stalls are all over, selling all kinds of flavorful snacks and exquisite handicrafts, native products, the sound of selling, the noise is loud, even the restaurants on both sides, the inn and the big car shop are also crowded with people.
The auspicious restaurant located at the east entrance of the street is also very lively, and the dozen or so tables in the street storefront are all full. In this winter, a few guys are sweating profusely and can't be busy. In these years, the market is calm, and there are naturally many people who come to the land and water wharf of Tianzhuang Terrace to make a fortune, and they can't think about business well. The shopkeeper of Jixiang Restaurant Ning is also sitting at the counter with a smile on his face at the moment, while greeting the guests with his buddy, his eyes are glancing at the street from time to time.
On the street, four or five men walked slowly on horseback, and they talked and laughed for a while. When he walked at the door of the auspicious restaurant, he turned over from his horse. Those horses were all Liaodong horses, tall and big, standing there from time to time with hoofs spraying hot air, obviously driving a long way over. The first person had thick eyebrows and big eyes, a full beard, a leather jacket wrapped around his body, and a pair of bright eyes.
When Shopkeeper Ning saw it, he hurriedly walked out of the counter, stepped forward in a few big strides, bowed slightly and whispered, "Big boss, why did you come out in person this time?" ”
The man who was called the big boss laughed, casually threw the horsewhip in his hand into the arms of the shopkeeper Ning and said, "I am almost sick in the forest every day." This time I came out just to breathe......" After that, he casually looked around and asked in a low voice, "Are you here?" ”
"If you go back to the big boss, the people have already arrived this morning, and the subordinates are arranged in the upper room at the back." Shopkeeper Ning said respectfully, and as he spoke, he turned sideways and led the way in front.
The big boss still had that faint smile, raised his right hand slightly, and made a gesture that no one else could understand. The four men behind him immediately followed closely, and as they walked, their eyes were secretly looking at the people in the restaurant.
This man, known as the big boss, is Liang Huadian, an army academy officer sent by Guangxu to the northeast to train troops in the name of Ma Yizi.
After the exercise at the beginning of the year, the Forces nouvelles held a meeting on the problems that arose during the exercise. At the meeting, all four German instructors focused on the fact that the soldiers of the Forces nouvelles showed panic and trembling at the sound of guns because they had not been baptized by the fire. Some of them were so frightened that they peed their pants. In this case, the new army urgently needs a real battle to make the final improvement, and the advice of the General Staff is to go to the northeast - to suppress bandits.
Bandits? It's a good idea, Guangxu also thinks that only through the tempering of blood and fire can a strong soldier be truly cast. However, the new army has 20,000 men, and a newly formed integrated regiment has nearly 4,000 men. And the largest dreadlocks in the Northeast are only a thousand people, and if you pull it out, the people over there will run away. At that time, it will not be a training session to suppress bandits, but a practice of fast tracking.
So Guangxu slapped his big hand, stopped suppressing bandits, and went to be bandits. Only when you become a bandit can you truly destroy the interests of the original bandits, so that you can do it head-on. Guangxu's words frightened a crowd of people, and even Michael said: Your Majesty the Emperor of your country is really ...... It's so imaginative. But no matter what, the emperor decided to do it. Liang Huadian, who had the best comprehensive score in the military academy, took a company on the train and headed north.
The already well-trained soldiers of the company went through the first two months of guerrilla warfare, plus intelligence support from the intelligence services. Although there were casualties, he really transformed into an elite soldier, with a desire to kill and confidence in victory in his eyes. Two months later, according to Liang Huadian's report, the General Staff came to replace the new company of soldiers and arrived. At the same time, according to the emperor's will, the General Staff appointed Liang Huadian as the head of the Reading Force Regiment to garrison the northeast and train troops in actual combat.
At this time, the intelligence department has figured out the situation of Gushan. Liang Huadian immediately led two companies of soldiers to launch an attack on Qingfeng Village with the support of three newly delivered lightweight mountain guns. There is no way, but the place that the plug is not good for flying and occupying, this is a crucial key road on the offensive line of the Yue army in the future, and it must be in your own hands.
Liang Huadian, who occupied Gushan, spent half a month replanning Qingfeng Village, which will become a transit point for the new army in the northeast. At the same time, a new regimental staff headquarters was established, and the position and scale of bandits on the northeastern land were familiarized. Half a month later, Liang Huadian began to attack in four directions, and the General Staff also transferred a company to the northeast in the name of training. By the end of December, the First Division of the New Army had been completely armed with real guns.
Just when Liang Huadian was worried about the surrender of the Horse Hair in the Northeast when he saw the Skull Banner, the news of the General Staff asked him to send someone down the mountain. Liang Huadian thought about it, anyway, there was nothing to do, so he simply came by himself.
Walk through the noisy front hall of the Kichijo Restaurant, and behind it is a walled courtyard. A house is quietly erected in the middle of the yard.
"The big boss is inside." Shopkeeper Ning bowed down, pointed to a room and whispered.
"You go down first, and watch a little more closely." Liang Huadian nodded, then pushed the door and strode in.
The man in the house was sitting on the kang, and when he saw Liang Huadian walking into the house, he first showed a look of surprise on his face, and then laughed: "The former scholar really looks like a horse bandit with a beard." He was Zhang Peihua, the CIA's northeast liaison officer who came to contact Liang Huadian on the order of the General Staff Headquarters.
These people used to be classmates in the military academy, he and Liang Huadian used to be in the same class, and they had a good relationship with each other, just when they looked up and saw Liang Huadian with a beard on his face, they didn't react.
Liang Huadian touched the beard on his face, smiled, and raised his leg to the kang with a big grin.
"Walking around in the deep mountains and old forests, how can there be so much exquisiteness...... By the way, what is the important matter of the General Staff this time, why did you come here and ask me out in a hurry, what happened? ”
"Two things. The first thing is that the reconnaissance company directly under the central government is coming out, and you are the assembly point. You give ready to prepare. ”
Liang Huadian was stunned, and seemed to suddenly understand something, and asked in a solemn voice, "Are you going to start ......?"
"It's still early, but Lord Zhou Qin Zhou has already spoken. It seems that this battle is going to happen sooner or later. The General Staff told you to prepare in advance......"
Liang Huadian nodded and put away his smile: "I understand that we are organized into a reading group separately, just to deal with me in the future, I know this in my heart." But after all, I am far away. I haven't figured it out for more than half a year. Why don't you put us in North Korea? ”
"You didn't understand it, so you led people to North Korea by yourself, and you started a company in a decent way." Zhang Peihua smiled slightly: "I heard that you still have an infantry company in North Korea?" ”
"The CIA is a dog." Liang Huadian laughed: "There is a platoon left in the iron mine, a platoon outside Pyongyang, and the other platoon is scattered and put on the side of Seoul." ”
"That's the second thing. Judging by the current intelligence, he may also be infiltrating these horsetails in the northeast. The specifics are not yet clear, so they must be arranged in advance. They must not be given an opportunity. You have to contact these stablemen in the Northeast as soon as possible. In addition, this platoon in Seoul will be replaced entirely by men from the reconnaissance company. ”
