In February of the sixth year of the Republic of China, the Baoding Military Academy began to spread that Premier Duan had a disagreement with President Li Da because of his strong advocacy of severing diplomatic relations with Germany and participating in the European War, and left Tianjin in a negative mood, and the contradictions between the government and the academy had intensified to the peak, and the military cadets were in an uproar.

In May, Li Yuanhong sent a telegram to the whole country and forcibly removed Duan Qirui from his post as premier. Due to the intensification of the contradictions in the government's mind, there was a sense of instability brewing in the school, and the principal Yang Zude had no choice but to order that all military cadets should not discuss state affairs.

Just when everyone thought that Duan Qirui's resignation was a foregone conclusion, Li Yuanhong monopolized power, and a shocking event was transmitted to Baoding. The pigtail marshal Zhang Xun took the opportunity of mediating the palace to lead troops into Beijing to put the president Li Yuanhong under house arrest, welcome the deposed emperor Puyi to ascend to the pole, and the Qing Dynasty was restored.

When the news came, the cadets were indignant, and some staunch republicans bitterly scolded Li Yuanhong for misleading the country and Zhang Xun for being a thief. Wu Xiaoliang felt that this was a great opportunity, according to the memory of his previous life, Duan Qirui would soon electrify the whole country to crusade against Zhang Xun, why didn't he take this opportunity to mobilize military cadets to protect the country. In the previous life, Huangpu had a military cadet army to go east, if he could promote the Baoding military cadets to protect the country, what a meritorious service and glory, after the success of the future is bright, needless to say.

In front of the Shangwu Hall of the Baoding Military Academy, the cadets lined up neatly.

"Your Excellency the President, Premier Duan is fighting hard in Tianjin, and all the students of the fifth phase ask for their orders to go out to protect the country, and ask the president to agree." The morale of the students was high, and Fang Qidao strode to Yang Zude and pleaded loudly.

Yang Zude looked embarrassed and reprimanded, "Students should take study as their first day of work, and go back to class." ”

Fang Qidao retorted: "The national thief is in charge, the republic will forget, how can we go to class?" Is it possible to kneel the children of the Forbidden City? ”

Wu Xiaoliang came out to salute Yang Zude and said: "I implore the principal to order the students of Baoding to send troops to protect the country!" ”

"Nonsense!" Yang Zude ignored them and brushed his sleeves away, and now the bigwigs have not expressed their position, do they dare to make such a head out of a small military academy, if they don't make a good fuss, their heads will fall to the ground. Seeing that the principal was gone, the dean of education and the adjutant officers also lowered their heads and trotted all the way out of Shangwu Hall.

The cadets began to boil, and Wu Xiaoliang immediately organized everyone to meet in the dormitory, not to act rashly.

"Weizhong, the principal disagrees, what can we do?" Fang Qidao was a little deflated.

Fu Zuoyi was silent, Wu Xiaoliang made up his mind, gritted his teeth and said: "Organize the students to vote voluntarily and open the military school tonight, if the principal does not agree, will we not protect the country?" The cadets of the Seventh Company said in unison: "Yes, open the military academy and protect the country." ”

After the Model Regiment incident, Wu Xiaoliang's reputation in the Seventh Company was unprecedentedly high, and the students greatly trusted this platoon commander who dared to take responsibility for them. As an instructor, the company commander often complained that his company commander was not as strong as a platoon commander.

Fang Qidao turned his worries into joy, and nodded vigorously: "I'll go and organize other students from the military department to ensure that the task is completed before the lights are turned off." Wu Xiaoliang knew that Fang Qidao had his own small circle, and he would definitely not be disappointed when he went

Fu Zuoyi looked at Fang Qidao's back and said, "Weizhong, is it necessary to take risks?" ”

"Brother Yisheng, the troubled times are coming, the eldest husband should give it a go, it will be difficult to achieve a big thing in the end, who wants to sit on the Kowtow worm of the Manchu Dynasty for the rest of his life?" What he said was true, Fu Zuoyi nodded yes, no longer hesitated, and seemed to have made up his mind.

Sixty-three people of the seventh company were ready to go, and nearly half of the students in the fifth phase were mobilized in front of the lights out, and they gathered in the open space outside the dormitory, and everyone discussed the establishment of the Baoding Military Academy to protect the country and publicly recommended Wu Xiaoliang as the detachment leader, he did not give in, and divided the entire detachment into four companies according to the original military department, and the commander of any company, Fu Zuoyi, the commander of the second company, Wu Keren was the platoon commander of the second company of the artillery department, and the commander of the third company composed of the original artillery company by him had no objection. The fourth company was headed by Chen Xiuyan, and it was completely unexpected that this gentleman could actively join the national protection detachment.

At the beginning of the establishment of the National Protector Detachment, the cadets were only enthusiastic, and they did not know where they should go. Wu Xiaoliang has memories from his previous life, of course, he knows that Duan Qirui will swear in the horse factory immediately, but the situation in the entire Zhili Province is unknown, and many powerful factions will take a wait-and-see attitude, so the army he can mobilize is really limited, and he led the entire detachment to Tianjin before the oath, which is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow. Although the number of the Baoding Military Academy's detachment is small, it is of great significance, and it represents the aspirations of the entire young generation of officers in China.

The instructors on duty at the Baoding Military Academy had the experience of several mutinies before, and they all hid when they saw that the wind and rain were coming, and the detachment was unimpeded in the military academy. Wu Xiaoliang led the group to divide the training horses in the stables, so that they could rush to Tianjin overnight.

"Students, come out!" Wu Xiaoliang shouted.

"The Protector Detachment will win!" Wu Keren shouted the slogan hoarsely.

Immediately, the students responded loudly, and soon it turned into a shout, "Victory!" Win! Win! ”

The momentum of the cadets was like a rainbow, and the sound of victory spread to every corner of the military academy, and some of the timid people thought that the mutiny was imminent, and they trembled with fear, and when the instructors came out to check the situation, they only saw the dust raised all over the ground.

Wu Xiaoliang's detachment of the protector of the country left Baoding, all advanced, and went straight to Tianjin Horse Factory by the main road.

At this moment, Duan Qirui was worried about the army. Zhu Jiabao, the governor of Zhili Province, and Yang Yide, the director of the police department, thought that Duan Qirui had lost his position, and they were very indifferent to him and ignored him. The only troops he could mobilize at present were Wang Ruxian's Eighth Division stationed in Machang, Tianjin, and Feng Yuxiang's troops stationed in the 16th Mixed Brigade in Langfang. These two troops do not belong to the Anhui faction of his Duan faction, Wang Ruxian is Yuan Shikai's lineage, and Feng Yuxiang has no contact with weekdays, so he can only use the position of a high-ranking official to envelop him, after the successful crusade Xu Wang Ruxian to supervise the army in Hunan, Feng Yuxiang to the division commander, the two of them happily agreed to send troops.

On the other hand, Duan Qirui sent Zhang Guogan to Baoding to win over Cao Kun, and he only had to wait for Cao Honestly to nod his head.

Xu Shuzheng rushed over: "Zhigong, happy event, unexpected happy event." ”

"What?" Since Duan Qirui took charge of the State Council, everything at home and abroad has not gone well, and he has been exhausted, and now he has finally realized the hardships of the former president.

"The Baoding Military Academy took the lead in expressing support for Zhigong and formed a detachment to protect the country.

"Oh?" It's really a surprise, I guess the number of military cadets must not be much, and he can't control the overall situation, but he represents the hearts of the people, and the significance is not just the support of a few hundred more people.

"Isn't this like Yang Ziyin's style of acting?" Duan Qirui knows Yang Zude, and this matter will definitely not come from his handiwork.
