Outside the city of Fuzhou, on the playground of the Fujian Army's martial arts lecture hall, all the officers and men of the Fujian Army Model Regiment and all the students of the Fujian Army's crash course and regular class have been lined up in a neat phalanx.

Nearly 3,000 officers and men, all in neat uniforms, with the belts of their large-brimmed hats tightly tied to their chins, and their rifles with bayonets in their hands, stood straight. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the improvised execution ground across from them!

There, hundreds of former officers of the 3rd Division of the Fujian Army and leaders of the Fujian People's Army, dressed in prison uniforms and tied up by five huās, were shivering, some still able to stand on their own, while others had to rely on the gendarmes around them to barely maintain a standing position.

These people are death row inmates! Today is the day they get shot! The officers of the 3rd Division were mainly regiment commanders and battalion commanders who colluded with the "bandits", and there were also some company and platoon commanders, all of whom instigated the troops to mutini after Shangguan was arrested...... Inciting mutiny may still have a way to survive in other warlord forces, but in Chang Ruiqing's Fujian Army, it is naturally a dead end!

And the leaders of the people's army were somewhat wronged. They were all arrested at the Hongmen banquet that day, and they all gave orders to their subordinates to disarm and surrender according to Chang Ruiqing's request. However, sometimes their orders did not necessarily work, and as a result, the troops obeyed the orders and disarmed them naturally, and those who gave the orders and still resisted stubbornly were sentenced to death according to the crime of rebellion, and today they were brought together to shoot targets.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded in the distance, and I saw several horses galloping, the first person was Chang Ruiqing, and the next few horses were Wu Shi, Bai Chongxi, Wang Junhao, Lu Yixuan, Ren Yijiang, as well as Xu Zhuoran and Wang Rongguang, as well as Zhen Xiaoru, the head of the Fuxing Society's action team.

Chang Ruiqing took the lead in running to the front of the queue, and thousands of eyes were cast over. Chang Ruiqing grabbed the reins, straightened up and rode on his horse, his eyes scanning his army. Then he cast a murderous gaze in the direction of the execution ground.

I don't know if I felt the cold murderous aura, and a pleading voice suddenly sounded on the execution ground.

"Spare your life! The little ones don't dare anymore! ”

"The big handsome will spare the little one, and the small one has an eighty-year-old mother in the family. There are three year olds ...... below."

"Handsome! The little girl is quite beautiful, only 16 years old this year, willing to dedicate herself to the handsome as a slave and a maidservant, just begging the handsome to spare the little life! ”

The voice was bleak. Many officers and soldiers in the queue couldn't help but gasp. Cool air. Chang Ruiqing rode on the horse and smiled coldly: "Now I know that I regret it?" It's just a pity that it's too late...... What is a mountain of military law? Today this is a mountain of military law! I have firmly remembered that when I eat Xingwu again in the next life, don't go back to the old way! ”

Chang Ruiqing's tone was cold, and his words trembled in his heart when he heard the students of the martial arts hall, the officers and soldiers of the model regiment, and the several senior officers behind Chang Ruiqing!

When did the army of the Republic of China seriously enforce military law? Don't say it's collusion with "bandits" or launching a few mutinies. Even Zhang Xun openly staged a coup d'état in the city of Beijing. It's not comfortable to be a rich man in Tianjin right now? None of the officers of the Dingwu Army who rebelled with him were dealt with by military law.

Who would have thought that Chang Ruiqing in front of him would really take the military law written on paper seriously, and he would really go on a killing spree!

"The surname is Chang! What the fuck are you yourself? You're a fucking dictator! ”

"When have you ever observed the military law of the Republic of China! If you kill Lao Tzu today, it will be Feng Guozhang and Duan Qirui's turn to kill you tomorrow! Lao Tzu is waiting for you below! ”

probably knew that there was no way to live, and a few of those death row prisoners were finally stimulated a little bloody and began to scold. Chang Ruiqing ignored them and just waved his hand lightly.

The gendarmes in charge of the executions began to do so. Five or six of these death row inmates were dragged in front of a brick wall that served as a wall of execution, and they were allowed to stand. A platoon of exemplary regimental officers and men who served as firing squads raised their rifles. As soon as the gendarmes walked away, there was a shocking burst of gunfire!

Chang Ruiqing was just riding on a horse, and his eyes were gloomy as he watched batch after batch of death row prisoners being executed indiscriminately!

He knew that the harsh military law of the Fujian Army had finally been established in this bloody killing! With an army bound by harsh military law, his rule in Fujian was unshakable.

And at this time, he didn't know that outside the high walls of the lecture hall. There are also thousands of family members of death row inmates wearing white filial piety clothes and carrying coffins. Every burst of gunfire was heard. It was accompanied by terrible cries and curses, and the seeds of hatred were buried in the hearts of some of them!

……

It was this afternoon. On the pier of Mawei Port outside Fuzhou. Three middle-aged men in long robes and top hats were standing there solemnly.

They are Xu Zhuoran and Wang Rongguang, who have just been released by Chang Ruiqing, and Song Yuanyuan, who came to see them off. After the "Hongmen Banquet" that day, Xu Zhuoran and Wang Rongguang hung up the phone very happily to the troops of Nan'an and Jinjiang, and the civilian troops of the two regiments were also ordered to surrender their weapons to Bai Chongxi's troops. Bai Chongxi did not embarrass these people, and those who were willing to go to Zhangzhou and Xiamen gave them a few yuan for the journey to send them on the road. Those who were willing to go home to farm were also given some resettlement expenses, and some wanted to join the Fujian Army, and Bai Chongxi also incorporated them into the team.

Chang Ruiqing seemed to keep his promise, and after shooting hundreds of death row prisoners and sentencing more than 200 Fujian army and civilian army officers to prison terms, he released them as agreed, and specifically instructed Song Yuanyuan to send them on a ship to Guangzhou.

Only now, the steamer has departed, and the two revolutionaries are still on the dock in Mawei.

"Parasitic, glory, forget it, you can't fight Chang Ruiqing!" Song Yuanyuan looked at the two in front of him and sighed softly. These two people are really a little dead-eyed, the matter is obviously no longer possible, but they still refuse to leave, they have to stay in Fujian to prepare to assassinate Chang Ruiqing!

Xu Zhuoran glanced at Song Yuanyuan and said coldly: "Mr. Zijing, I won't go to Guangzhou, because Mr. Sun has abandoned the Fujianese!" We Fujianese can only rely on our own strength to oppose Chang Ruiqing's military dictatorship! ”

Song Yuanyuan stomped his feet and said loudly: "Confused! Do you have any brains? Now the northern and southern armies are fighting in Hunan in the dark, and the main forces of the Guangdong army, the Yunnan army, and the Gui army are all ready to drive to the front line in Hunan! Only Jiang Jshi's three or four thousand men were still in Zhangxia to spy on Fujian...... Do you think that Chang Ruiqing's 30,000 troops will lose to Jiang Jshi's 3,000 men? ”

"There are at least 30,000 civilian troops available in Fujian!" Wang Rongguang said hatefully: "If Mr. Sun could decisively order Jiang Jshi to attack at that time, and our people's army cooperated, Fujian would be a different scene now!" It's a pity that Mr. Sun was deceived by Chang Ruiqing. Therefore, we can only use assassination to eradicate Chang Ruiqing now! ”

Song Yuanyuan sighed, and he didn't know what to say. Chang Ruiqing is indeed a secret member of the Revolutionary Party. Sun Yat-sen also has the meaning of Lianchang, and Chen Jiongming and Xu Chongzhi of the Guangdong army are not interested in Fujian now, they are all planning how to seize Liangguang after the Gui army and the northern army are defeated......

Come to think of it. He just shook his head and arched his hand at the two: "Brother has nothing to say, you better do it yourself, take your leave." ”

After saying that, he walked outside the dock without looking back. After walking less than a hundred steps, I suddenly heard two crisp gunshots! hurriedly looked back, only to see Xu Zhuoran and Wang Rongguang already lying in a pool of blood!

……

At the time when Xu Zhuoran and Wang Rongguang were assassinated, the warlord Changda, who had "no idea" of this, was discussing with Wu Shi, Bai Chongxi, Wang Junhao, Lu Yixuan and others in his supervision office how to further rectify the Fujian localities!

Looking at Chang Ruiqing's murderous expression, Wu Shi and the others couldn't help but suck in their hearts. Cool air. How far did this "dictator" finish rectifying the gentry in Fujian?

At this time, Chang Ruiqing picked up a report on the bandits in Fujian sent by the Military Police Bureau, looked at it, and said in a deep voice: "After this series of sorting, the people's army in Fujian basically does not pose any danger. Next, I am going to set up an anti-bandit headquarters to be responsible for carrying out large-scale anti-bandit operations throughout the province! Our three divisions must be dispatched to completely exterminate the bandits entrenched in northern Fujian, northwestern Fujian, and the Youxi Mountains in central Fujian, and to eradicate in one fell swoop the bandits that have been in danger in Fujian for many years! ”

Speaking of this, his tone sank a little more: "The local gentry in Fujian have always had a tradition of banditry!" Of course, this is also because the local security situation in Fujian was too poor in the past. They had to join the bandits for self-preservation. But now. Such a situation is not allowed in the storage zài! Before the bandits were suppressed, the county governments in all localities issued circulars ordering all gentry and gentry who had collaborated with the bandits and local gang members to surrender themselves to the county government by October 15...... We are not to blame! If we find out that there is a situation of banditry after this time, then we must strictly deal with it according to the law!

Furthermore. For the bandits in Fujian, we also have to give a way! Before October 30. They can also send people down the mountain to contact the county government in various places. Not only do we not hold them accountable for past crimes, but we can also use them according to their abilities. ”

Chang Ruiqing said it a little lightly. It seems that the whole of Fujian is already under his control! But the reality is much the same. At present, the people's army, the most powerful force in Fujian, has been completely disintegrated by Chang Ruiqing.

However, Director Lu of the General Staff Bureau was obviously not so optimistic, and there was a slight worry in his expression: "I'm afraid the bandits in Fujian are not so easy to deal with, and we have suppressed them a few times before, but the effect is not very ideal." Those bandits are burying guns for the people, taking guns for bandits, and when our soldiers sweep away, they often don't see a single bandit, and as soon as the soldiers leave, those bandits emerge from under the ground. ”

The chief of staff who graduated from the German ** school seems to be at a loss for the fight against bandits, after all, there is no one in the German ** school to teach the suppression of bandits at all.

But Chang Ruiqing was confident about this, although he didn't learn much about how to deal with bandits in the Baoding Military Academy. But isn't there a bandit and a good little wife in his house? How to deal with bandits, Zhao Xiang'er, the female bandit leader, couldn't be clearer, Chang Ruiqing inquired a little, and she explained it all, regardless of the morality of the rivers and lakes......

Chang Ruiqing looked at Lu Yixuan and smiled: "The reason why the bandits can deal with our officers and soldiers is nothing more than two points. One is the official and bandit family; Second, it is difficult to distinguish between the people and the bandits. At present, the county government and township government on our territory are already reliable cadres in control, and the inferior gentry in various places have also been taught a lesson, and they dare not embarrass us for the time being, so the problem of the official and bandit family no longer exists. As for the difficulty of separating the people from the bandits, in fact, it is not difficult to do, after all, the bandits and the people are different. I have asked Xiang'er to write a booklet on the characteristics of the activities of the local bandits, and I will go back to the General Staff Bureau to organize the printing and distribution to various units......

Another option is to rely on the population to deal with banditry. Another important reason why it is difficult to distinguish between the people and the bandits is that some people are covering for the bandits! Therefore, this time, before suppressing the bandits, we will give those people who used to be bandits a chance to mend their ways. As long as they are willing to change, we will not be guilty of the past. In fact, there is no reason for the local people to like bandits, but in the past, the government either couldn't control it that far. Either they colluded with bandits, so those people had no choice but to cooperate with bandits in order to protect themselves.

There is also the method of using bandits to govern bandits. This is also an old way, isn't there still a story of Song Jiang beating Fang La in the Water Margin? In fact, most of the bandits are looking forward to recruiting peace, and this time I plan to give those bandits who are willing to join us a chance.

The final point is to establish a security system that covers all localities. These include village police inspectors, county security squadrons, and provincial security bureaus. The initial idea was to set up a "dispatch" station in each township, with five "police" inspectors. A squadron of security forces was deployed in the county town to deal with small bandits. At the same time, under the system of the Fujian Army, a security bureau was set up specifically for suppressing bandits and maintaining local law and order. In this way, after our large-scale crackdown on banditry, there will be no resurgence of banditry in Fujian. ”

After listening to Chang Ruiqing's tirade, Lu Yixuan also seemed to think of how to deal with the bandits. He looked at Chang Ruiqing and smiled awkwardly: "Supervisor, can the General Staff Bureau borrow someone from the Supervisor to be the chief adviser of this anti-bandit operation?" ”

"You want Xiang'er, right? When I turned around, I asked her to report to the staff station. Chang Ruiqing smiled and nodded: "By the way, there is also Lu Xingbang who is in prison, he is also a bandit leader, and there is still his deployment in the Youxi area." Yichen, you go talk to him and see if he is willing to help me do things? ”

Ren Yijiang responded. He asked again: "Yaoshuai." What conditions do we give him? ”

"Give it to the chief of the Security Bureau." Chang Ruiqing thought for a while and ordered: "Give a name first, and then decide on the specific position after this anti-bandit operation is over." ”

"What about Big Guy Cai and Third Master Deng?" Ren Yijiang asked again.

Chang Ruiqing twisted his eyebrows and thought for a while, but still said coldly: "Guan!" These two continue to be held! When we finish dealing with the bandits, we will have to clean up the gang forces in Fujian, and we will still need them when the time comes. ”

****？?

Pan Yucheng had just gotten up from bed lazily at this time, chatting with his daughter who had returned to the door.

These days. He, Chang Ruiqing's father-in-law, is very idle. Some time ago, I was a "mole" and a "daughter" again, but I didn't get a fat shortage! Chang Ruiqing just gave him the name of a provincial councilor. has a salary of more than 100 yuan a month, and bought him a big house in Fuzhou City. In addition, it was Topan Xiaoqian who brought the words, so that he could wait with peace of mind, there was always a time to reuse.

Is there really a time for reuse? At this point, even Pan Xiaoqian, who said this, has no confidence. She can feel that Chang Ruiqing's love for her is very limited, I'm afraid she just sees her as a symbol of marriage with local forces in Fujian, right?

"It's okay, he won't dislike you." Pan Yucheng listened to his daughter's situation in Changfu these days, just smiled faintly and comforted a few words: "As long as it takes a long time, he will definitely like my daughter." After saying this, he turned around and inquired about Chang Ruiqing's thoughts: "Daughter, do you know what books he is reading these days?" What kind of people do you associate with? ”

Listening to her father's question, Pan Xiaoqian could only smile bitterly: "Father, he has four women, I am probably the most unfavored one, he never spends the night with me, and rarely talks to me, what books he reads, and who I see, where do I know?" ”

"That's the case......" Pan Yucheng frowned, pondered for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "So it seems that he doesn't like you, but he doesn't trust you, no, he doesn't trust me and the gentry of Fujian!" He stood up and took his daughter's hand and walked outside.

Pan Xiaoqian was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Father, where are you going to take your daughter?" ”

Pan Yucheng stopped, changed his solemn face, looked at his daughter and said, "Of course, I went to the Supervision Office to see Chang Yaoru!" Girl, now you are Chang Yaoru's woman, your lifelong happiness is on him, and your father has also pressed the treasure on him. Now he doesn't believe us, then we can only win his trust, he wants to govern Fujian, and the assistance of Fujian gentry and celebrities is always indispensable! It's just that he seems to distrust Fujian gentry like us, even if he is as sincere as his father...... There must be a reason for this, and instead of pondering here, we might as well go to the door to find out! I don't believe that he can really govern the place without relying on us Fujian snakes. (To be continued......)
