Chapter 101: The Old Man
In the next two days, Lao Duan Xiaoxu and others were busy dispatching troops, and the eastern and western armies of the rebel army also assembled in the direction of the Beijing division step by step; Zhang Braided Shuai in the capital did not seem to have any good way except to send a telegram to appoint an official position, and the various departments inside and outside the Beijing Division also looked around, looking for an opportunity to prepare to defect. To the incomprehension of outside critics, tabloid reporters, and even the small Manchu court in the city, the Northern Route Army, the closest rebel army to the Beijing Division, did not move and stopped at Shahe Town, which was only a few dozen miles away from the capital, to rest.
"Chief soldier of Jizhen, this small Manchu court is really cute, and he actually thought of giving me an official." Playing with the "Holy Decree" sent by the small court of the Manchu Dynasty, Tang Zhidao smiled and said to Chief of Staff Xu: "If you don't take it, maybe it will become an heirloom after many years!" ”
Xu Yongchang took the holy decree and looked at it for a moment and said with a smile: "It's the first time I've seen this thing when it's so big." However, they are too stingy, and they have only sealed one general soldier for a long time, at least they have to give a commander! ”
"Haha, you can be content with Cichen!" Tang Zhidao laughed and said: "People still have rules and regulations for doing things, what level can be named what officer, and the commander of the division directly under the Ministry of War can be appointed as a commander." The division commander and below can't follow the holy decree at all, but I was exceptionally promoted! ”
"What about the Directly Governed Division?" Zhou Wenruo said disdainfully: "I didn't expect it to be so unbeaten!" ”
Xu Yongchang hurriedly said: "Although the Thirteenth Division is not as good as the old six towns, it is not so unbearable, the main reason is that the restoration is unpopular, and Liu Dongheng's new arrival is not able to control the troops at all. ”
"According to reliable information, Li Jincai has returned to the Thirteenth Division, and you must pay close attention to the movements of Beiyuan." Speaking of the 13th Division, Brigade Commander Tang thought of the news that had just come back from the capital.
"Brigade commander, what to do with the thousands of prisoners of the Thirteenth Division?" Chief of Staff Xu nodded and asked, "It's a problem for thousands of people to eat, drink, and Lazar, and you can't find so many houses in Shahe Town!" ”
Tang Zhidao pondered for a moment and said helplessly: "Let's watch it first, wait for two days." ”
"Otherwise, let's directly incorporate them into the ......," Zhou Wenruo suggested in a low voice, following the Tang Brigade for a long time, and his courage has also fattened a lot.
"Yupu, this is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, you have to be cautious!" Brigade Commander Tang waved his hand and said, "The Thirteenth Division is a rebel army today, and it will be a friendly army tomorrow!" ”
The captured officers and soldiers of the 13th Division are more than an ordinary mixed brigade, and if they are all included in the 3rd mixed brigade, there is no need to add a single soldier, a soldier, a gun, or a bullet, and Tang Zhidao can become a real division commander, but this kind of thing can only be thought about for the time being. At the beginning, in order to annex a battalion in Duolun, he fought with two lieutenant general-level bigwigs, and in order to annex the ownerless Zhili Fifth Road Patrol Battalion, almost all the resources that could be used were used, so he also formed a bond with Zhu Jiabao.
At present, taking advantage of the east wind of rebellion to forcibly adapt, there may not be much problem, but I am afraid that I will vomit it after the war. After all, it is still 1917, and although the authority of the central government is getting worse, it is not something that a provincial brigade commander can trample on. The most important thing is that Tang Zhidao does not plan to go back when he leaves Koubei Dao this time, and he is still counting on getting a piece of land from the hands of Lao Duan Xiaoxu, so naturally he can't leave people with a reputation of rejecting dissidents and flying (not to mention that our reputation as Brigade Commander Tang is no longer good). But let go of this piece of fat like this, Brigade Commander Tang was also unwilling, anyway, he had made up his mind, he had made up his mind to eat the baggage and artillery battalion, and the king of heaven and Lao Tzu didn't want to snatch it from him.
"It's not a prisoner of a brigade commander, let's go and see, it's not good to be too snub to others if they are all colleagues." Anyway, there was nothing to do at the moment, so Brigade Commander Tang led a group of his subordinates to the prisoner camp to go around.
There was only a small place in Shahe Town, and the Third Mixed Brigade requisitioned some houses and shops to live in, and there were only a few rooms that could be left for the prisoners, so most of the prisoners could only live in the open space outside. Fortunately, it's midsummer, so as long as it doesn't rain, it's not a problem to live outside. In addition to the lack of housing, the food was not bad, and there were no beatings or abuses, so the entire prisoner camp was safe.
As the highest-ranking officer captured this time, Yang Deming's food is even better than that of Tang Zhidao, the brigade commander. This is also a matter of no choice, when you reach the level of brigade commander, you can be regarded as a senior general in the current Huaxia Kingdom. Which of these people is not the lord of the three-headed, six-armed, hands-and-eyes to the sky, if the hospitality is not good, Tang Ruoshui's reputation for being mean to others is indispensable. Besides, during the Republic of China, you did the first day of junior high school and I did the fifteenth, maybe one day you will fall into the hands of others, and you can't make you die.
"Brigadier Yang, our Brigadier Commander has come to see you!" Seeing Tang Zhidao and others coming from a distance, Yu Sihu, the platoon leader of the guard, kindly reminded him.
"Which one is your brigade commander?" Yang Deming didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly walked out of the room, but just looked at the four or five young people who came over, and couldn't tell which one was the main one for a while, for fear of making a mistake and upsetting Brigade Commander Tang.
"The one in the center!" Yu Sihu pointed to Brigade Commander Tang who was walking over and said.
Yang Deming looked at it and exclaimed: "It's so young, it's really a hero and a teenager!" ”
After saying that, he strode up to greet him, and Lao Yuan arched his hand and said: "In Xia Yang Deming, I have seen Brigade Commander Tang!" ”
Seeing this, Tang Zhidao hurriedly returned the salute and said: "Brigade Commander Yang, you are an old-timer in the military world, how can Tang take this great gift from you!" ”
"Yang is now a prisoner of Brigade Commander Tang, what are you talking about old-timers!" Yang Deming hurriedly waved his hand and responded: "It's Brigade Commander Tang's young age that makes people jealous!" ”
"Brigade Commander Yang has been wronged!" Tang Zhidao enthusiastically took Yang Deming's hand and walked into the house and said, "If you are not satisfied with the food you live in, just mention it to me!" ”
"It's good, it's good, thank you Brigade Commander Tang for your preferential treatment!" After the two sides sat down, Yang Deming asked with a smile, "I wonder what Brigade Commander Tang plans to do with us?" ”
"This Brigade Commander Yang can rest assured, it will be as short as three or five days, and as long as ten days and half a month, and as soon as the war is over, you will be free." Tang Zhidao handed a cigarette to Yang Deming and reassured.
"Brigade Commander Tang, in fact, we are also a centripetal republic, just because Senior Commander Li was held hostage, we can't wait to obey the orders of the handsome, as soon as we come into contact with your department, we will turn against each other......" Brigade Commander Yang put the cigarette between his fingers, and said tentatively: "I wonder if Brigade Commander Tang can go to the other side, let me and others also contribute to the great cause of the republic?" ”
"Brigadier Yang, you yourself, I can naturally trust it!" Tang Zhidao played Tai Chi and said: "But now the main force of your department in Beiyuan is still serving the braided army......
"Don't worry, Brigade Commander Tang, I believe that as soon as our army arrives, Brigade Commander Xu and they will definitely repent." Yang Deming continued to say: "When the time comes, if we join forces, our strength will be even stronger!" ”
"Brigade Commander Yang, I don't think it's too early, I still have to go to see other officers, you can rest first!" Seeing that Lao Yang was still talking about this topic, Brigadier Tang simply said goodbye. Joke! Lao Tzu didn't get any benefit at all, how could he easily let you out of the cage.
"Please also ask Brigade Commander Tang to consider my proposal more!" Yang Deming saw that Tang Zhidao was unwilling to talk about this topic at all, so he had to plead again.
Leaving Yang Deming's residence, the group came to the residences of several regimental-level officers. A total of five regimental officers were captured, including two infantry commanders, two regimental deputies, and one artillery regiment commander, and these five were confined to a slightly larger house.
"This is the Jin Commander of the Fifty Regiment!"
"This is Commander Zhou of the 13th Artillery Regiment!"
……
Out of politeness, Brigade Commander Tang also greeted these regiment commanders one by one, and talked cordially and comforted with kind words, which can be regarded as fulfilling the friendship of the landlord.
"This is the deputy of the Xue Regiment of the Fifty Regiment!" When the last one was introduced, Tang Zhidao was stunned for a moment, then looked at it for a moment and asked, "Xue Tuan's deputy surname, who is the name?" ”
"This brigade commander is so familiar?" Xue Chengming said secretly in his heart, but he didn't dare to slack off and said directly: "My name is Xue Chengming, and I am directly affiliated with the Hejian clan." ”
"Deputy Xue Tuan's table can be called Zhaoshi?" Tang Zhidao nodded and asked with a smile.
"Yes! I don't know where Brigade Commander Tang learned about Xue's cursive characters, it's really an honor! Xue Chengming said in surprise.
"Good, good!" Brigade Elder Tang smiled and patted Xue Chengming's shoulder and walked away, leaving a room of confused people.
Back in his office, Tang Zhidao instructed Li Dazhu: "Invite Xue Chengming, deputy of the captured 50th regiment, to my office." ”
A few minutes later, Xue Chengming followed Li Dazhu with a confused face, and saw Brigade Commander Tang waiting at the door from a distance.
Without waiting for him to speak, Brigade Commander Tang said extremely enthusiastically: "Brother Zhaoshi, don't come unharmed, I didn't expect to meet you here!" ”
"Brigade Commander Tang is polite, it's just ......," Xue Chengming said with a look of surprise. It's no wonder that he was only seventeen or eighteen years old at that time, and he was still an immature boy, and his appearance, temperament, and demeanor had changed greatly in the past seven or eight years.
"Haha, it seems that I'm aging too fast, even Brother Zhao Shi can't recognize me!" Brigade Commander Tang suddenly realized: "Old classmate, you won't forget who is sleeping on your lower bunk!" ”
"The Way of the Don! You are the way of the Don! Xue Chengming thought about it for a while, and said happily: "No wonder I felt that you were a little kind just now, but now that I am your subordinate prisoner, I don't dare to ask!" ”
"Come in and sit!" Tang Zhidao let Xue Chengming into the room, and instructed Li Dazhu to make tea before sitting down again.
"It seems that our batch is still the best mix of yours, now I should call you Brigade Commander Tang!" Xue Chengming said with emotion, except for those who went to the south to join the people's army, in seven or eight years, he went from a second lieutenant platoon commander to a lieutenant colonel and deputy regimental deputy. Compared with Brigade Commander Tang, he became a scumbag, and he was two or three years younger than himself, but now he is a small prince.
"Brother Zhaoshi, this is a loss to me, I am cursive like water, just call me like water." Tang Zhidao hurriedly responded: "I remember when you went to Henan, when did you join the 13th Division!" ”
"For several years, when the people suppressed Bai Lang in the third year, my unit was incorporated into the Gongwei Army, and last year it was reorganized into the 13th Division." Xue Chengming raised his eyes and asked curiously: "I remember that you studied in the East as the first in the school, and then there was no news of you." ”
"It's a long story, anyway, it's relatively idle at the moment, and I'll talk to you later." Tang Zhidao took a sip of tea and said, "Feng Erpang seems to have gone to Henan as well, how is he now?" ”
"Feng Shilun! He was in the same unit as me, and when I was the company commander, he was also the company commander, but unfortunately he died in battle when he killed Bai Lang! Xue Chengming's face suddenly became ugly, and he choked up a little and said: "I only left a four-year-old son, who is now raised in his hometown in Hejian, and I saw it at the beginning of the year, and he looks like a second fat ......."
Hearing this bad news, Brigade Commander Tang was silent all of a sudden. It's been seven or eight years, and things are wrong for a long time! In the past seven or eight years, the Huaxia Kingdom has experienced from the empire to the Republic of China, and then from the Republic of China to the empire......
