About this period of history, it has become a mystery in the "history of the Republic of China", and the historical figures at that time did not have a clear explanation of the beginning and end of this time. It wasn't until a hundred years later, when a historian was looking through some historical materials in the archives of the National Library, that he made a heavy discovery. This heavy discovery is in a book of "On War". In the first chapter of the first volume, chapter 20, the war is nothing more than a continuation of another means of politics, the top blank space of this page. A text appeared.

"The move of the capital was blocked by the Yi people, and the rest of my life was ashamed. Tianjin and Beijing are only a day's away, and the hearts of the great powers are clear. ”

The book was written by Fang Jianxiong, and the German version, published in 1905, was preserved as a historical relic in the Celebrity Library of the National Library, and was donated to the state by outsiders in the city of Wuyang County after Chapter 138 of Fang Jianxiong's Siege (1).

The historian quickly came to the conclusion that, according to the Treaty of Xincho, the Great Powers had the right to garrison troops in Tianjin, while China at that time could only station police officers in Tianjin. That is to say, if necessary, the armies of the great powers can reach the city of Beijing in one day. And Beijing, is the capital!

"Pack up the earth, mountains and rivers, and the four are empty. After all the misty journey, the desert flat forest, the high mountains, the rolling Yangtze River, but seeing the cold clouds and miserable fog and sorrow, the bitter rain and the miserable wind with grievances, the city is strong, see the rivers and mountains are unharmed, who knows me a scoop to Xiangyang. Emperor Jianwen on the stage was dressed in a monk's robe, and this singing song exhausted this tragic character who lost the country. At that time, I was in a sad state of mind.

Fang Jianxiong, who was dressed in casual clothes in the audience, bought tickets to listen to the play like ordinary audiences at the moment, but unfortunately he was soon whispered by Qi Erzhu, who came over in a hurry, interrupting his good mood of watching the play.

Wuyang, named because it is located in the sun of Wushui, was edited by the Hanlin Academy of the Qing Dynasty and was edited by Ren Yinglieyun: "Dance, the Yanyi of Wanjun...... It lies across the rush of the Ruying River. Where the majestic aftermath of Xiuling, the three counties can not be alone, the dance is real. ”

On the occasion of the Great Civil War. Duan Qi Chapter 138 Siege (1) Rui, an outsider in Wuyang County, ordered the Beiyang Army to shrink, and the main second division even retreated across the Yellow River. This phenomenon objectively gave Bai Lang enough room to move. The county seat of Wuyang was broken by Bai Lang in October last year. And ate the strength of a regiment of the 1st Henan Division that came to reinforce. The breaking of the dancing sun can be regarded as an opportunity for Bai Lang to gain momentum. After nearly half a year has passed, Wuyang County, which has experienced a catastrophe, once again ushered in some outsiders who were feared by the people of the county.

Leading the troops stationed in Wuyang County is the former Beiyang Second Division, a battalion of the current temporary First Division of the National Defense Force, with battalion commander Sun Chuanfang and life instructor Tong Nianhua. After Wang Zhanyuan left, an acting division commander Liu Bin soon came. Prior to this, Liu Bin was just a regiment commander of the Anyi Brigade, and the general staff of the accumulated combat merits meant to be promoted to the brigade commander. Officers are needed for the reorganization of the Beiyang Army. Liu Bin was selected to be sent to Luoyang, just in time for the Bailang bandits, and the reorganization of the Beiyang Second Division was urgently suspended, and the officers who were platoon to Luoyang were temporarily thrown into various units. Held a number of positions respectively.

This is a transitional period, after starting from Luoyang, taking advantage of the train to go south to Xinyang, after replenishing some light equipment and technical troops, along the Jinghan line to rush to the defense in turn. The task assigned above is to never let Bai Lang cross the Jinghan line.

Under such a premise, Sun Chuanfang, who made a resignation report, was forced to stay. The sixth phase of the Japanese Lushi was born Sun Chuanfang. In this time and space, the trajectory has changed slightly, and instead of being the commander of the second battalion, he has become a real infantry battalion commander.

When the Beiyang Second Division fought fiercely with Li Yifeng's troops in the Ru River, Sun Chuanfang was still the commander of the baggage battalion, and after the peace between the north and the south, Beiyang expanded the army and transferred some military cadres, and Sun Chuanfang was able to move from the baggage battalion to the infantry battalion.

After the surrender of Beiyang, the head of the Wehrmacht who came to reorganize read out the order of the General Staff. All officers, regardless of rank and academic qualifications, are free to stay, and those who are willing to stay must pass an examination and be sent to Wuhu for further study for half a year. Sun Chuanfang was somewhat disheartened about this, and felt that there was no future in continuing to fight in the army, so he handed in his resignation.

I don't want the situation to change abruptly, Bai Lang will make an incident and threaten the safety of the Jinghan line. After changing the provisional name of the provisional 1st Division, the new acting division commander announced that all officers were not allowed to leave, and that it would be decided after Bai Lang was eliminated. How to say it, the job is held, but there is not much hope for the future. In particular, four young officers came to the battalion, nominally serving as life instructors.

In Sun Chuanfang's opinion, these life instructors are here to monitor these old officers in Beiyang. Sun Chuanfang, who has an arrogant temperament, keeps a distance from these instructors, respects them, never takes the initiative to contact them, and does not argue with them.

From Xinyang to Wuyang, this section of the journey was on foot, because of this journey, Sun Chuanfang's senses for the four instructors had some changes. The camp instructor Tong Nianhua is actually a talented person who studied in the UK. Because of the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution, he gave up his studies and returned to China to participate in the revolution, joined the National Defense Army in Wuhan, and had the opportunity to go to the Army University for further study, but Tong Nianhua gave up and stayed in the army. Tong Nianhua's mind was that after the war, he would return to the UK to continue his legal profession.

Unexpectedly, the plan could not catch up with the changes, and in the soil of the Wehrmacht, it was difficult to bury talents. Tong Nianhua is the type who is very talented in military affairs, has flexible thinking, strong attacks, and has excellent performance in combat every time. During the Hankou counterattack, Tong Nianhua was just an ordinary soldier, after the attack crossed the river, Tong Nianhua's squad, in the counterattack of the Beiyang Army, the squad leader was killed, and he was temporarily put in the position of squad leader. It was because of this temporary top shift that Tong Nianhua's conducting talent got the stage for the first time. After the Battle of Wuhan, Tong Nianhua was selected to be sent to a crash course for three months of study, graduated with the first place, and became a deputy company commander after coming out.

This time the reorganization of the Beiyang Army, as an officer who was transferred, Tong Nianhua went to Luoyang, and soon became the life instructor of this battalion because of the Bailang Rebellion. There is no political commissar or instructor in the Wehrmacht, and these people are uniformly called instructors, and the distinction between these people can only be based on which level the prefix is.

Although he had only been in the Wehrmacht for more than a year, Tong Nianhua quickly fell in love with the group, and gave up his original intention, did not go to the UK to study, but stayed as a soldier. How to put it, I really don't want to leave those comrades who live and die together on the battlefield. Especially in this group of the National Defense Force, Tong Nianhua can see too much hope.

In Sun Chuanfang's eyes, Tong Nianhua is undoubtedly an alternative. How can there be an officer who does not ride a war horse and walks with the troops? The vacant horses were given to some soldiers who were in poor health, or carried some equipment.

Along the way, the instructors led by Tong Nianhua seemed to be very active, and they constantly walked with the soldiers in the marching ranks, communicated with each other, and told the soldiers some great truths such as countries and nationalities. In life, these instructors also share weal and woe with the soldiers. In contrast, the original officers were compared. Because these instructors came from the Wehrmacht, it was natural that the original officers of the Beiyang Army could only passively follow them.

After getting along for a while, Sun Chuanfang unexpectedly found that Tong Nianhua had never shown signs of "surveillance", and was soaked in the army every day, getting up early and sleeping late. I also had some exchanges with Sun Chuanfang in my spare time, but they were all military exchanges.

What did the bandits do in Wuyang County, this Sun Chuanfang didn't know, anyway, they did a lot of evil. When the troops entered the city, the entire county was as if it were dead, and every household was closed. The original officials could not see the shadow, and the gentry in the county town were also missing. On the streets, you can often see some burned ruins, and some houses still have strips of white cloth hanging on their lintels.

Tong Nianhua found Sun Chuanfang while entering the city, and said to him very strictly: "Brother Xinyuan, Wuyang has experienced a bandit ransack, and all departments must be strictly ordered not to disturb the people. Autumn did not commit any crimes, this is the discipline of the Wehrmacht. ”

Sun Chuanfang didn't take this statement too seriously, because these officers were all from the regular national defense army, Sun Chuanfang didn't want to offend them, so he issued an order according to this meaning.

It is obvious that this requirement is too high, when did the Beiyang Army suffer such constraints? That night, a large family joined the army, and two women were insulted and hanged themselves. Just such a thing, in the Beiyang Army in the past, it was really nothing, wasn't it just playing with two women?

It's a pity that this time is completely different, after Tong Nianhua learned of the incident, he immediately found Sun Chuanfang and demanded severe punishment. The next day, in the open space in front of the gate of the county office, the four soldiers who committed the crime were executed. This verdict completely shocked the officers and soldiers of the whole battalion and made them feel different.

After the incident, the company commanders, platoon commanders, and squad leaders of the units to which the soldiers committed the crime were all removed from their posts and dismissed from the unit, citing inadequate supervision. A number of officers and soldiers who were good officers and soldiers were promoted to take over these positions.

This result was also violently affected by Sun Chuanfang, he never expected that the military discipline of the National Defense Force would be so serious. Sun Chuanfang, who was the instructor of the battalion's life, was also severely criticized after the incident, and acting division commander Liu Bin criticized Tong Nianhua by name at a meeting of officers above the division company level held in Xuchang. And announced the result of the punishment, demerit once.

After returning from the meeting in Xuchang, Tong Nianhua's expression was gloomy, and Sun Chuanfang couldn't help but ask him why he was so sad, and what he didn't lose if he had a demerit, so why make a big fuss? Tong Nianhua told Sun Chuanfang that if an officer was demerit once, he should not expect to be promoted within three years.

This result really surprised Sun Chuanfang, the consequences were so strict? Judging from the results, Tong Nianhua has suffered on his behalf. Sun Chuanfang was not convinced, and immediately went back to Liu Bin to make it clear, saying that this matter had nothing to do with Tong Nianhua.

Tong Nianhua grabbed the reins of the war horse and said to Sun Chuanfang very firmly: "Discipline is discipline, there is no room for bargaining. You are from the old Beiyang, and if something happens, you can't blame it, and this is also the discipline we announced before we got out of the army. ”

Because of these things, Sun Chuanfang's views on the entire national defense force have undergone a fundamental reversal!!
