Chapter 45: The belated oath
On the morning of July 1, the sixth year of the Republic of China, the Eighth Division all gathered at the headquarters of the rebel army in Machang to pledge its division, Duan Qirui wore a sky blue fine ni dress, expressed the rebellious text, announced his appointment as the commander-in-chief of the rebel army, and sent Duan Zhigui as the commander-in-chief of the rebel army's western route army, Xu Shuzheng, Liang Qi and other cadres as the counselor of the rebel army headquarters, and Jin Yunpeng as the general counselor.
There was an inopportune episode at the oath-taking meeting, which made Duan Qirui very unhappy, Wu Xiaoliang, the leader of the 15th Mixed Regiment that he valued very much, and his regiment disappeared, and the regiment headquarters was empty. After returning to the headquarters, Duan Qirui thundered, this son escaped from the battle, Duan Zhishuai looked away, the person who gave the knife was a coward, and he would be laughed at if he spread it. Just when his anger was still gone, the news brought by Xu Shuzheng made him stunned, and he couldn't speak for a long time, "What...... What the? Wu Wei chased the deserters at night, the rebel army was defeated for thousands of miles, and the 15th Regiment recovered Beijing? ”
Wu Xiaoliang led a division, a brigade and a regiment, and the soldiers approached the Yongding Gate, and the infantry commander Jiang Chaozong opened the city gate to meet him, and the army entered Beijing without a single soldier. When Zhang Pigtail Shuai heard that the rebel army had entered the city, he hurriedly avoided the Dutch embassy and did not dare to come out, and the magnates who sang and restored the farce left Beijing one after another to take refuge, and the Yellow Dragon Flag, which had been hung in Beijing for less than two days, was replaced by a five-color flag.
After Wu Xiaoliang entered the city, he strictly ordered the soldiers to be stationed at the Temple of Heaven and not to act rashly, and immediately sent a telegram to Duan Qirui, hoping that Premier Duan would immediately enter Beijing to preside over the overall situation. After handling all the necessary matters, he rushed to the Central Hospital with his guards on horseback, and Dong Haibin, the deputy of the regiment, was seriously injured during the attack on Nanyuan. The hospital was full of people with many injuries and illnesses, and overheard someone shouting to him.
"Manager Wu, Manager Wu!"
This is what people used to call him when he was in Mukden, and when he looked back, he saw that the person who called him was extremely familiar, but for a while he didn't remember who his surname was.
"You ......"
"I'm Qi Xiufeng, Senior Commander Feng's adjutant." The man was greatly surprised when he saw Wu Xiaoliang dressed as a major, and said in his heart, why did he still join the army?
Wu Xiaoliang immediately understood that at this moment, Feng Delin must also be in Beijing, and because of his support for the restoration, the current situation is very bad, but why is his adjutant hiding in the hospital?
"It's Adjutant Qi, why are you here?"
Qi Xiufeng's face was full of sadness, "I am hiding here with the division commander for refuge, and the division commander is being wanted outside." ”
As he spoke, a group of heavily armed soldiers broke into the hospital, and people hid in fear. A middle-aged man in a casual robe pointed at Qi Xiufeng, "It's him, Feng Linge's secretary, arrest him." ”
The soldiers rushed up, Qi Xiufeng wanted to run too late, and a deep voice said from outside the crowd: "Let him go, you want to arrest me."
The person who spoke pushed aside the soldiers and came to Qi Xiufeng, looking haggard, no longer seeing the domineering spirit of Fengtian.
"Xiufeng, I didn't expect that I, Feng Delin Hero I, would be the only one left by my side in the end." He nodded and continued: "After that, you should quit the military world, and all the property I left in Fengtian will be given to you......
The soldier who captured him was impatient, grabbed him by the collar by the neck, and dragged him away. Feng Delin stood unsteadily and fell to the ground, and was dragged out of the door, and some people thought he was sinking and kicked. The dignified lieutenant general and division commander fell into such a situation, which made Wu Xiaoliang sigh.
"Stop, stop me." Wu Xiaoliang made a move.
The soldiers who arrested people saw that it was a major shouting, and they didn't pay attention to it at all, they were arrested on the orders of the division commander Chen Guangyuan, looking at his virtue, he was at most a staff officer, and the staff officer didn't fart without a commander, so the exit was very polite.
"The Twelfth Division was ordered to arrest the wanted criminals, and irrelevant people should stay away."
Wu Xiaoliang's guards took out their shell guns and said angrily: "Do you know who the person in front of you is? It was Premier Duan who personally presented the knife to rebel against the head of the vanguard group Wu. The guard swallowed his saliva, and said proudly: "Your division commander has to be polite when he sees our regiment commander, what are you?" ”
"What...... What the? The scolding soldier almost urinated when he heard this, of course he knew that this regimental commander Wu had recovered the city of Beijing. Including their division commanders, after they later learned that Wu Xiaoliang actually only had a group of people, they all acquiesced to the facts, and it is said that they also looked up to the sky and sighed, the back waves of the Yangtze River pushed the front waves, and we waited for the old man.
Wu Xiaoliang was not angry, and said with a pleasant face: "Brother, the person you want to arrest has an old relationship with me, how about we talk about the old days first, and then go with you?" ”
"Good...... Okay, ...... Let's talk about it, and it will be as long as it takes. "How dare he stay longer, just slip away.
The plainclothes and robe man was about to slip away when he saw that the situation was not good, but he was grabbed by Qi Xiufeng and beaten violently, scolding while beating: "Kill you traitor, traitor." ”
Feng Delin was so embarrassed that he couldn't get his clothes neat, and he slammed Wu Xiaoliang to the ground in embarrassment: "Thank you Captain Wu for the rescue, Feng has a good feeling." ”
Wu Xiaoliang hurriedly dodged to help him, "Wherever Gong Feng said, this is what the younger generation should do." ”
Feng Delin sighed, he should be impressed every three days, and now he is a wanted criminal with rebellion, and the identity of this former little brother is like a cloud, and he feels the rapid changes in the vicissitudes of the world.
Wu Xiaoliang wanted to send someone to send Feng Delin back to Fengtian, but he politely refused, he and Qi Xiufeng put on makeup and absconded that night, fortunately, the foundation of his 28th division was still there, as long as he returned to Fengtian, no one dared to touch him a single hair.
Dong Haibin was seriously injured, he was shot in the abdomen, and his intestines were broken. Wu Xiaoliang looked at the weak regiment deputy and thought: It is a pity that he has carried too heavy a burden and does insincere things under heavy pressure. Before he came to the hospital, he did Chen Xiuyan's ideological work and promised not to hold the regiment deputy accountable for the time being. With Dong Haibin's temperament, this incident will also become one of his heavy burdens, spurring him to compensate a hundredfold and a thousandfold. In this way, the return of the model group is just around the corner.
……
The rebel headquarters opened and targeted the city of Beijing. Everyone from Duan Qirui to Duan Qirui had a feeling of punching the air hard, holding their breath but having nowhere to vent. However, Duan Qirui is still quite proud, with the scene of the school giving away knives the day before yesterday, the world only says that he knows people with his eyes, but more than half of the credit of the younger children is on his head. Wang Ruxian, the commander of the Eighth Division, was expecting this rebellion to consolidate his position, but he wanted to be disturbed by his good student, and it seemed that it was a foregone conclusion to go to the south to be a short commander.
The rebel army arrived in Beijing on the morning of 4 July, and the drama of Zhang Xun's restoration came to an end. President Li Yuanhong resigned, was placed under house arrest in his private residence in Dongchang Hutong, Beijing, and once again became a political prisoner of the Beiyang clique.
In addition to Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang and other Beiyang generals, the winner of this restoration farce is one more person than in history, and he is Wu Xiaoliang, the head of the 15th Mixed Regiment.
