Chapter 45: Zhongshan Wind and Rain 8

When the representatives of the Navy left, they were like drunks, staggering, perhaps excited, or confused, in short, none of them were normal. As the widows of the late Qing Navy, in a trance, this group of naval officers and sailors seemed to see the hope of a new life from the quagmire of the civil war. For many years, burdened with the humiliation and sadness of the First Sino-Japanese War in the continuous consumption of civil strife, these officers, who had already lost the direction of the wind in the constant political turmoil, had a good outlook for the future for the first time. China has no navy after the First Sino-Japanese War, and this is the sorrow and shame of every navy officer and man. Buried with my back to the sea, it was full of endless blood, tears and sadness. It's been a long time, the blue sea.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if Hu Dashuai can fulfill his promise, then the day when the Chinese Navy will develop and grow and return to the ocean will not be far off!"

Chen Fu, the training officer of the Jingqing Ship, who studied in Japan and was most inclined to revolution, stepped on the starlight of a place, trembling and dancing excitedly.

"If you can be ashamed of Jia Wu, what does it matter if this old life is bought for him Hu Shuai?!"

An officer who had participated in the First Sino-Japanese War echoed with tears streaming down his head to the sky.

"Master Guan, tomorrow you will work hard and take a silver ticket of 200,000 yuan to Xiaguan Wharf. Let's just say that this is my settling-in fee for my navy brothers. ”

Hu Rui looked at the naval officer who was staggering away like a drunken man with a flushed face, and ordered excitedly. If nothing else, this group of seeds for the future revival of the navy will not run.

It was destined to be a sleepless night. The officers and men of the Second Division of the Anhui Revolutionary Army, after clearing out the remnants of the enemy, sent troops to quickly take charge of all the infrastructure facilities in Nanjing. After doing all this, the officers and men, who had been busy all day, hurriedly spread a canvas moisture-proof mat on the ground before the dust was washed, and fell asleep. Only the mobile sentinels and patrols were left to defend the nascent Nanjing.

In the early morning of the next day, the citizens of Nanjing, who had been frightened all night, quietly opened the closed door and boldly looked at the newborn city of Nanjing, after all, life had to go on. When I opened the door, I was surprised to find that the open space in front of the door and on both sides of the street were full of Anhui revolutionary officers and soldiers wearing green military uniforms and carrying guns. In the early morning, the fog and humidity by the river were heavy, and the dew drenched the young faces with a biting cold, and the sleeping warriors felt the biting cold, and uneasily hugged the rifles in their arms and curled up in a ball, and several people huddled together to warm each other with questions.

"Ah Gong, look ......"

"Evil, they're still dolls! Why are you so ruthless in the military...... Hurry up, tell me to go down and make a fire and cook ginger soup! The humidity is heavy, don't freeze the doll! ”

The gray-haired old grandfather excitedly tapped the cane in his hand and commanded the servant. He was born to experience the vicious battle between the Hunan army and the Yue Kou around the city of Nanjing, whether it was the Taiping army or the Hunan army after entering the city, they did not seal the knife for three days, and the beast-like soldiers burned and plundered everywhere, ** women, and the people in the city did not distinguish between rich and poor, how could they not suffer. The huge city of Nanjing was full of crying, and the city was full of mess and blood. Later, the Jiangfang patrol battalion and the new army were also all the way, but it was just a matter of good or bad food. Who is not a soldier who eats food and oppresses the people, and eating for nothing is considered haode. But this army that would rather sleep on the road and suffer the cold than requisition houses to harass the people was the first time he had seen it. The servant took the order and left, it was still early, the old grandfather quietly wiped the cloudy tears from the corners of his eyes, and quietly walked away on crutches, he did not want to disturb the sleep of those children.

"Eh, this world is finally a little hopeful!"

Turning to leave, the old man sighed softly.

The servant's hands and feet were very sharp, and he helped the cook at home quickly cook a large bucket full of ginger soup, held a stack of sea bowls, and hurriedly filled them and handed them over.

The warriors, who had been hurriedly pushed awake in their sleep, rubbed their eyes and stared at the large bowl handed over to them in a daze. The bewildered soldiers quickly looked at the squad leader and the officer leading the troops.

"My lord, it will become humid and cold, drink some ginger soup to warm up, don't freeze."

The servants were bold and kindly persuaded them.

Stunned, the officer leading the army choked with a twitch of his lips, then crossed the bowl with red eyes, and ordered loudly:

"Drink them all, it's an order! No one is allowed to be left, and no one is allowed to live up to the wishes of the villagers! After drinking, the platoon leaders of each squad took the soldiers to chop firewood and carry water outside the city to send it to the villagers, otherwise they would go to help with some chores. Our Anhui army is not allowed to take a stitch from the common people! ”

With the order, the half-drenched warriors touched their eyes, closed the soup bowl, and drank carefully. This scene was filmed by the person who declared, and there was such a news on the front page of the declaration that day - the people's soldiers!

"Hu Shuai, this time, we have gathered more than 1,000 people from the remnants of the Ninth Town who have been scattered, including more than 30 officials at all levels. At present, the whereabouts of Xu Shaozhen, Lin Huaichuan and other high-level leaders in the ninth town are unknown, and they withdrew to the direction of Zhenjiang in the chaos according to the meeting of the remnants. However, our intelligence department on the Zhenjiang side has not found it, and Zhenjiang has no intention of recovering at present. ”

Sanniang said and handed over a report.

"Do you have any thoughts about the future of the Ninth Soldier? Can Xu Shaozhen's whereabouts be verified? ”

Hu Rui took the report and looked at it, and asked helplessly. Xu Shaozhen's whereabouts are unknown, and an important chess piece is missing in this game, and he can no longer continue to play when there is a break.

"Basically, they are willing to be used by me, Xu Shaozhen's whereabouts Sanniang has already been instructed to go down and is thinking of a way. If it weren't for the dead and in the midst of the chaos, it wouldn't have gone far. ”

As he spoke, Hu Rui saw that Sanniang was wearing a winter uniform in a new military uniform today, with high-quality fine breeches and a very decent cut. The crisp pants with a black belt look slim and uncontrollable, and the large lapel top exposes the neckline and tie of the cotton shirt, and the waist design is just haode showing off the bumpy figure. Although I can't see the beautiful legs that I have been thinking about for a long time, this Western-style military uniform is unique when worn on the high mountains of the third grandmother, avant-garde, fashionable, refreshing, and heroic......

"Meow, uniform discount! Big chest and thin waist! ”

**A certain Hu who was born as a silk otaku sighed in his heart and praised it.

"Wang Tianda reported that after winning the Silver Dollar Bureau, Zhou Jitang and others, who were responsible for leading the way, jointly asked for a request to stay, not to pick a position, but to have a place to live."

Sanniang was embarrassed by the hot gaze of someone in front of her, after all, the heroine is also an untrained big girl, isn't it, just a young age. Some of them couldn't stand it and took two steps back slightly, and opened their mouths to fork.

"Mm-hmm, that's easy to say...... First, send them to Wuhu with the remnants of the Ninth Town who have been collected, and first go to the training camp to receive a period of military school teaching, and then arrange a position according to their actual situation. At present, the remnants of the Ninth Town in our hands, plus some non-commissioned officers, can form half of the mixed army by supplementing the recruits. We must attach importance to it, ask Wang Tianda to do ideological work, and then send a telegram to Wuhu to explain the situation, and we must ensure the smooth flow and loyalty of the command system. ”

Hu Dashuai, who was arrested, touched his nose embarrassedly and said.

"Understand, Sanniang will do it!"

Sanniang wrote down the order in the shorthand book, and then ran away with the wind on the soles of her feet.

"Meow a mi, the field has lost a lot of hair! I was caught by a girl who was ......"

Hu Dashuai, who was behind him, looked at the figure that quickly disappeared in front of him, and touched his nose with a wry smile.

Early in the morning of 26 October, the Anhui Revolutionary Army officially held a ceremony to enter the city. The main forces such as an integrated infantry division, a mixed association, and a heavy artillery regiment all went into battle. Even the navy, which had just raised its case, decisively dispatched elite sailors and officers after receiving a settling-in allowance of 200,000 yuan, and formed a naval phalanx together with two armored gunboats and officers and men of the Marine Corps. For this reason, Hu Rui also specially transferred a group of sailors and officers from the clothing warehouse to urgently transfer a group of sailors and officers in winter clothes. Now the ceremony of entering the city will be grand, and the navy and army will go into battle!

In front of the Zhonghua Gate, Hu Rui specially put on the 07 cashmere trench coat he brought when he crossed over, and the gilded rank of general shone in the sun. The wind blew the hem of the trench coat, swaying slightly, and Hurui rode on a high-quality Arab horse presented by Krupp, wearing a black general's glove in a lambskin, and raised his hand in salute! Closely followed by a group of staff members from the headquarters and the intelligence department, the military flag fluttered, and the guard battalion was closely guarded behind him.

"Good girl, that's Hu Dashuai, right?! It's really majestic, you look how handsome you are when you turn around! I see, I just said that the clothes are better than the old Greyhounds! ”

"Hey, no! Hu Dashuai can not only fight, but also be good at dancing. You can run the army on the horse, and you can run an industry on the horse. Tsk, it's a good skin, I don't know how many girls will have to stick it upside down in the future! ”

"Hehe, you want me to see, the spirit of being a soldier is real, you listen to this army singing! Even if you wear this dress to the greyhound, it will be a monkey crown, and there is no such effect! ”

"Look, obediently burrowing, how thick this barrel is! Catch up with the little tree......"

"Sister, sister, look at you, look at it, there are female soldiers! This female soldier's military uniform is really good-looking, what kind of material, it doesn't look like cotton! ”

"It's very good-looking, it looks like it's made of wool, but I'm really willing to do it! Sister, look, that female officer is only one horse's head away from Hu Dashuai, and it seems that her level is not low! ”……

At the same time as the military parade, when the Anhui Revolutionary Army was attacking the city, a group of defeated soldiers of the Qing army and more than 400 people who took care of gangs, party associations, and local ruffians were shot on the spot at the entrance of the vegetable market! Originally, Hu Rui at Caishikou was strongly opposed, and it was too bloody without him. But one of his staff members persuaded him again and again, and Hu Rui could only be good for the sake of Liwei.

This was the first time that the citizens of Nanjing had seen such a neat army and advanced equipment of tigers and wolves, and the Anhui Revolutionary Army's lack of guilt in the autumn also left a deep impression on the common people, and also indirectly laid the groundwork for the League and his party to run into walls everywhere in Nanjing.
