Rain, spring rain, the third spring rain after the beginning of spring; Peach blossoms, peach blossoms in full bloom, peach blossoms swaying in the wind and drizzle; Courtyards, courtyards, and extremely ordinary courtyards in the capital. This is the ordinary picture in the first spring rain in Beijing at the end of March 1916, quiet and quiet.

"Mother, you can play with me for a while!" A childish child's voice broke the quiet scene, and a little girl with a pink carving came out of the house in the middle of the courtyard.

"Yu Xuan, can you play by yourself!" Xiao Yun gently stroked the bangs that were wet with the rain with her hand, turned around and said softly: "Mother wants to stay alone!" ”

"Then I'll go play with Uncle Tang!" The little girl pouted and was about to run down the corridor to the east wing.

"Come back!" Xiao Yun hurriedly grabbed the little girl, touched the ponytail on her head and said, "Let your Uncle Tang have a good rest, and when he wakes up, let's go to play with him!" ”

"No, no!" The little girl shook her pink little hands coquettishly, and said with red eyes: "I'm afraid that Uncle Tang will disappear again as soon as he wakes up!" ”

"No, no, Uncle Tang will never leave again this time!" Xiao Yun is not only comforting her lovely daughter, but also comforting herself.

"Really?" The little girl asked suspiciously, rolling her big clear eyes.

"Of course, but your Uncle Tang said that if you don't listen to your mother, he won't buy you sugar gourds to eat!" Xiao Yun hugged the little girl in her arms and said softly.

"Oh! Then I'm going to practice calligraphy! At the mention of the sugar gourd, the little girl licked her mouth and turned back to the hall.

"I hope Yuxuan won't follow my old path!" Seeing her daughter go away, Xiao Yun thought silently, but what can she do as a weak woman in such a world?

Thinking of this, Xiao Yun set her eyes on the east wing again, the door over there was still closed tightly, it was closed by herself late last night, and the person was drunk. In Xiao Yun's memory, the man never drank again, at least he hadn't been drunk!

"Hey! The falling flowers are intentional, and the flowing water is ruthless. Xiao Yun thought lightly that everything in his life experience was extravagant, so why didn't he look at himself more!

At this time, on the simple wooden bed in the east wing, the drunken Tang Zhidao was sleeping soundly, and he never thought that there was a woman in the same courtyard who was sad, gloomy, and sad......

"Dao, you are ten years old, you have to protect your mother like a man!" In the twenty-eighth year of Guangxu, a man who was killed by rebels in order to protect his wife and children said to his son who had just turned ten years old. After that, the boy and his mother relied on each other all the way and went through hardships to join the distant uncle who served as a leader in the army in the military camp. Fortunately, this distant uncle has a strong family concept, not only took in the mother and son, but also paid for the boy to continue his education in a new school.

"The future of the Great Qing Dynasty falls on you!" Six years later, the boy was admitted to the Beiyang Army Crash Course with excellent results, and Duan Qirui, the Beiyang veteran general who was the general office of the school at the time, said at the opening ceremony.

"Learn as soon as possible and serve the Qing Dynasty!" Two years later, the boy or the man was sent to the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School with the first grade in the school, and when he boarded the ship from Tianjin, the Tianjin prefect said impassionedly when he saw him off. As soon as they arrived in Japan, most of the international students joined the alliance of Sun Wen and Huang Xing, and a year later, they returned to participate in the vigorous Xinhai Revolution and buried the Qing Dynasty for 267, and also bid farewell to the imperial system of more than 2,000 years.

"Good is like water. Water is good for all things without fighting, and it is evil for everyone, so it is more than the Tao. When he was twenty years old, Hu Bingtao, who came to Japan several years earlier than Tang Zhidao, asked about Tang Guojie's expression and said: "Brother, your temper is upright in the past, let's learn water!" "So Tang Zhidao has one more word! …,

"First place, Chinese student Tang Zhidao!" Two or three years later, at the 23rd Graduate Conference of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School (the 10th Chinese Students), Tang Zhidao, a Chinese student, beat his Japanese classmates in the same class and became another Chinese student who graduated as the first after Lu Shi's senior Jiang Baili. In order to put an end to this phenomenon, Chinese students studying as non-commissioned officers in the army have been studying in separate formations since then.

"Dear Don, one day you will shock the world! But I don't know if I'll ever survive that day! Colonel Ludendorff, who was only the chief of the German General Staff at the time, said with emotion after interacting with Tang Zhidao, a Chinese officer on trainee in the German Army Staff. However, it was surprising that only a little more than a year later, Ludendorff rose to fame in the European War, won several big victories on the Eastern Front one after another, and became another rising god in the German military circles, while the military rookies he valued were struggling in ancient China.

"People like you don't deserve to be called a soldier, you should be sent directly to a court-martial!" In August of the second year of the Republic of China, Zhang Jingyao's regiment of the Sixth Division of the Army conquered Nanchang City, and the headquarters looted Nanchang City, and the citizens of Nanchang suffered heavy casualties. Tang Zhidao, a staff officer of the major of the Sixth Division who entered the city with the army, pointed at the nose of the regiment commander Zhang Jingyao and scolded after witnessing the tragic situation. A few days later, Zhang Jingyao was promoted to commander of the 3rd Mixed Brigade for meritorious service, and two years later he was promoted to commander of the 7th Division for his strong support for the imperial system.

"You think you're in Japan, you think you're in Germany, you have to figure out that you're drawing up a training plan for a Chinese army!" In the spring of the third year of the Republic of China, in the Jiangxi Military Supervision Bureau, Qi Xieyuan, the chief of staff who was slanted-eyed, small, and talkative, slammed a training plan drawn up by the major staff officer of the Military Supervision Department on the table. Since the overseer Li Chun made a special trip to poach this young staff officer from the War Department, Qi Xieyuan was keenly aware of the threat posed to him by this arrogant young officer, and tried every possible means to squeeze him out. Sure enough, as he wished, three days later, the young staff officer left a letter of resignation and floated away.

"You people are all sick men in East Asia, and all of them are weak!" In the early summer of the fifth year of the Republic of China, on the edge of the playground of the Army Military Academy, the Japanese tactics instructor Saburo Kameda said unashamedly after beating several Chinese cadets in a row.

"Say what you just said again!" Just as he was triumphant, a young Chinese instructor quietly came to him and said lightly.

"Tang Daojun!" After seeing the person who came, Kameda Saburo hurriedly bowed and saluted and said earnestly: "Of course, you don't include Tang Zhidaojun, you are a high-achieving student trained by our Great Japanese Military Academy, and you are an authentic powerhouse!" ”

"Either swallow back that passage or let it go!" The young instructor made a gesture of please with a blank face.

"Baga!" Although he was afraid, but for the sake of the so-called dignity of the Great Japanese Empire, Lu Shi's second-rate senior bravely accepted the challenge of the first-class student, of course, the ending was the same as people expected, the Japanese senior was broken a rib and was forced to return to China to recuperate.

"As long as I am a Chinese soldier, I will never allow this kind of behavior to appear in front of my eyes!" Facing the persuasion of his colleagues in the Military Pastoral Department, Tang Zhidao said solemnly. A few days later, the case of fraud in the procurement of military horses by the Military Pastoral Department was exposed, and the director of the department, Shen Yuwen, was admonished by the ministry, and several direct personnel were punished......

"Xiaoliang, did you really decide to apply for the military academy?" In the grove next to the playground of the No. 1 Middle School in Hongshui County, Jiangzhou City, Z country, in 20XX, a girl in red in a short skirt stood behind a big boy in a sweatshirt.

"Xiaoqian, don't you support me either?" The big boy turned his head and said with a solemn face, "You know this has always been my dream!" "The leaders of the school have already gone to his house several times to do work, and with the boy's grades, he can enter the best Ningqing University in country Z. …,

"Of course I'm behind you!" The girl took out a volunteer form and handed it over and said, "For you, I changed my volunteer." ”

"A City Foreign Chinese University!" The big boy picked up the volunteer watch and whispered softly, City A is the largest city in the south of country Z.

"I've checked that the Marine Academy is in City G, so we're close!" The girl said sweetly that City G and City A are only one or two hundred kilometers away in the same province.

"Thank you, Xiaoqian!" The big boy held the girl's white hands affectionately, while the girl lowered her head shyly......

"What about being number one in academic performance? We want iron-clad soldiers here, not useless scholars! On the training ground of the Marine Academy in G City, the physical fitness instructor pointed contemptuously at Tang Guojie, who was behind the team in training.

"Please rest assured, please rest assured, please rest assured that the motherland!" In a burst of cheers that resounded through the sky, 25-year-old Tang Guojie, deputy company commander of Company E of D Battalion D of C Brigade of the Marine Corps of Country Z and platoon commander of the assault platoon, received a bright red national flag of Country Z from Wu Tianhao, commander of Brigade C. Twenty minutes later, the assault platoon succeeded in seizing the beach, and for the first time in 70 years, the national flag of country Z fluttered in the wind over T Island, and only a quarter of the officers and men of the assault platoon survived, and the soldiers opened the road to the reunification of country Z with their blood.

"Xiaoqian, wait for me to come back!" Just after taking wedding photos, the sweet lover who had set the wedding date had to postpone the wedding date, and Tang Guojie said lightly to Fang Qian in his arms at the moment before he was about to board the transport ship.

"Hmm!" At this moment, Fang Qian just responded softly, compared to the parting of life and death before the three-year battle of reunification, it was too pediatric, I didn't expect it to become a farewell!

The bits and pieces of the two worlds passed through Tang Zhidao's mind one by one like electricity, and the necessary elements of war, women, love, parting, and endeavor emerged one by one.

"Xiaoqian, don't go!" Suddenly, a woman seemed to flash in front of her eyes, and Tang Zhidao hurriedly took her into her arms and muttered to herself: "We'll go get the certificate tomorrow!" ”

"Not Xiaoqian? Xiao Qian is not so plump! The fierce Tang Zhidao hesitated, and the woman in his arms broke free during this hesitation, but he didn't leave immediately, just watched him silently, until Tang Zhidao completely fell asleep.
