Chapter 38: The Messenger of Arrogance
After Wang Xiao gave the order, the staff headquarters of the Western Sichuan Army immediately began to act, led by Xiong Wu, Cai Yun and Jiang Xingguo, with the participation of a large number of middle and senior staff officers, and a combat plan aimed at annexing Qinghai and Gansu began to take shape slowly. Because the last time the Western Sichuan Army was mobilized, it was learned by the secret agents of the Qing court, so this time, all the preparations were carried out in secret. The importance of Qinghai and Gansu was well understood by the Qing court. Therefore, it is undoubtedly the best to be able to hide from them.
On the plateau in December, the temperature has dropped to more than ten degrees below zero, and it has snowed heavily for several days, and the entire Qamdo area has been pressed by heavy snow, and all traffic has been interrupted. This time is also the hardest time. The troops on the plateau, whether it were weapons, ammunition or other daily necessities, could not be replenished, and could only use their previous reserves. Fortunately, at this time, there is generally no enemy attack, and the only thing to face is the cold winter.
The 3rd Company's station, after a period of repair, was restored to its original state. The bombed-out wall has been repaired. The bombed-out horses outside the wall were also re-erected, and the defense of the entire military station was once again restored to the point of impregnability. The soldiers of the third company who died in battle were also properly disposed of, and according to the regulations, their ashes would be returned in the following spring. Their families will also receive a substantial pension. At the same time, the livelihood of the family will also become the first place for the local government to consider.
In the process of the rise of western Sichuan, too many soldiers paid their lives for it, but they still did not regret it, and they continued to dedicate themselves to the great cause of western Sichuan. The most critical point is that the government of western Sichuan, or the handsome Wang Xiao, is really fighting for the interests of the people in western Sichuan. After the development of industry and commerce in western Sichuan, the people at the bottom also benefited a lot. If Western Sichuan is exterminated by the Qing court, then their lives will return to the precarious state of a few decades ago, so when fighting against the Qing court, all the soldiers dare to fight hard.
At the same time, the sound pension system for the dead and disabled soldiers in western Sichuan has also allowed the vast number of soldiers to have no worries. Basically, all the dead and disabled soldiers, their families, and their future expenses will be borne by the government. This is a great way to make the soldiers very brave when fighting. This is also the reason why the Western Sichuan Army was able to counter the tens of millions of troops of the Qing court with hundreds of thousands of troops.
"How are the soldiers doing now?" Standing on the tower next to the gate, Wang Yuze asked. Wang Wei stood beside him.
"It's alright! After the last big battle, the morale of the soldiers has soared! Wang Wei said excitedly.
In winter, in addition to the severe cold, there is loneliness and boredom. Heavy snow closed the roads, making it difficult to carry out daily training, and most of the soldiers stayed in their dormitories, except for sentry. This time is also the time when accidents are most likely to occur. For a variety of reasons, there is even the possibility of a mutiny. For this reason, in the barracks, a large number of sporting goods are generally prepared to vent the excess energy of the soldiers.
"Company commander, the ninth squad sent someone to report the news and found a group of soldiers of the Green Horse Army, advancing towards their outpost!" Suddenly, the third platoon leader Shi Deyou ran up to the tower and reported.
"The Green Horse Army? How many of them are there? Wang Yuze was shocked. Although it is freezing now, the Green Horse Army should not launch a large-scale attack. But who knows if the Tsing Ma Army will do anything amazing? After all, the current young master of the Qingma Army and the heir of the future were arrested by him. It may not be impossible for the Green Horse Army to jump off the wall in a hurry.
"Company commander, there are not many of them, only a dozen or so people!" Shi Deyou replied.
"Let the people of Class 9 bring them over!" Wang Yuze said. A dozen or so people obviously did not come to attack the third company's military station. Thousands of people had not captured the third company's military station before, and it was even more impossible if only such a few people came. Wang Yuze speculated that these people may have come to listen to the news or to negotiate. If we really want to attack the third company's military station in a big way, we won't only bring such a few people. Besides, this kind of ghost weather is not suitable for large-scale marches.
Soon, a group of more than a dozen people rushed to the third company's station. His body was also covered with snowflakes, and from a distance, it looked like a snowman. In such a cold and freezing weather, it was indeed very hard to come from the garrison of the Green Horse Army.
"Ah Wei, go down and get their guns down, and then lead them to the office!" After Wang Yuze finished speaking, he went down the tower.
"Okay, company commander!" Wang Wei hurriedly ran towards the gate.
There were eleven people in the Green Horse Army, and they were dressed in thick leather jackets, but even so, their faces were still cold and blue. The leader is a middle-aged man in his thirties, although he is not very outstanding, but his eyes are shining, but on the surface, this middle-aged man does not seem to be easy to deal with. The deputy squad leader of the ninth squad and two soldiers brought them over.
The guards at the gate stopped them, and they would definitely not let them into the military station until they received an order from their superiors.
"On the orders of the company commander, you put down your guns, and then you can enter the station!" Wang Wei came to the gate and said loudly. The guards all watched the soldiers of the Green Horse Army warily. The heavy machine guns in the towers, which were also pointed at them. In the event of an anomaly, the heavy machine gun will fire at the first opportunity, and within a few seconds, it will be able to sieve.
"What? Do you want us to surrender our guns? The soldiers of the Green Horse Army, who were audited by the middle-aged man, immediately made a commotion.
"Humph!" Wang Wei snorted coldly, looked at them coldly, and didn't say a word. However, the guards at the gate loaded their guns and aimed them at the people of the Green Horse Army. Dayou received the order and immediately opened fire.
"Alright, stop making a fuss. This is people's territory, and people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. Give them all the guns! The middle-aged man said. It was concluded that he was very prestigious among this group, and as soon as he spoke, the soldiers of the Green Horse Army immediately stopped saying anything.
honestly handed over the guns, and after collecting the dagger and other murder weapons from their bodies, Wang Wei let them in. However, except for the middle-aged man, the rest of the people were taken to the auditorium of the military station to wait. Only a middle-aged man was taken to Wang Yuze's office.
After seeing Wang Yuze, the middle-aged man was slightly surprised. Probably because Wang Yuze was so young, he was able to become the commander of a company, which shocked him! As an old opponent of the Western Sichuan Army, he is naturally clear about the establishment of the Western Sichuan Army. A company of the Western Sichuan Army had about 200 people. Let a little doll who is obviously not yet twenty years old command a company, I really don't know if the top brass of the Western Sichuan Army has a rusty head.
"I'm the company commander of the third company, Wang Lung, I don't know who your Excellency is?" Wang Yuze asked the middle-aged man.
"Contemptible Ma Yuntao, just a staff member of Marshal Ma Haiyan!" Ma Yuntao, a middle-aged man, said.
"Oh? I don't know what Mr. Ma came to my military station for? After the two sides sat down, Wang Yuze asked.
"Company Commander Wang, Ming people don't say secret words. Our eldest young master was arrested by your army, there must be some misunderstanding in this. Our Qingma Army and the Western Sichuan Army have always been well water and do not interfere with river water. Please also ask Company Commander Wang to return the eldest young master to us! Ma Yun looked at Wang Yuze, and then said.
"Haha, Mr. Ma said with a smile. How can you be the eldest young master of the Qingma Army in the hands of our Western Sichuan Army. A month ago, a group of horse bandits who did not know whether they were alive or dead attacked our station, but we were defeated and captured many prisoners. The eldest young master of your Green Horse Army, you won't be a horse bandit, right? Wang Yuze said sarcastically.
"Company Commander Wang, this is just our eldest young master's stubborn nature, anyway, it didn't cause you much loss, and I ask you to return the eldest young master to us. I will be thankful for the Green Horse Army! Ma Yuntao clasped his fists with both hands.
"Hehe, what if we don't pay it back?" Wang Yuze squinted his eyes and said.
"Humph! If Company Commander Wang toasts and doesn't eat and drink, then wait for my Qingma Army to level your small military station! Ma Yuntao said contemptuously.
