The second year of the Republic of China was destined to be an unquiet year, and the army of Outer Mongolia in the north was surging south. The KMT in Kannai won 392 seats in the re-election of the House of Councillors and the House of Representatives. The three major parties of Republican, Democratic and United together won only 223 seats. Soong Jiaoren toured the country and praised the responsible cabinet, and the political strength of the Kuomintang laid a hidden danger for the turbulent situation that followed.

The assassination of the Kuomintang father, who was also the most powerful contender for prime minister, in March, was the piercing gunfire at Shanghai's Shanghai-Nanjing railway station, which ignited anti-Yuan sentiment among the KMT radicals. Under the internal and external troubles, Yuan Shikai dispatched troops to speed up the quelling of the scourge from the grassland, and on the other hand, ordered Zhou Xuexi to speed up negotiations with the loan group of the six countries to discuss the aftermath of the big loan, in order to solve the problem of the Kuomintang by force at a critical juncture.

The rebels invaded Inner Mongolia with great arrogance, and in a very short period of time, they successively occupied the northern part of the Zhaowu Dameng and the vast areas north of Duolun and Zhangjiakou and the northern foot of Yinshan Mountain. Wherever the rebels went, they burned down villages, looted temples and market towns, killed inhabitants, and severely damaged agricultural and animal husbandry production. The people of all ethnic groups in Inner Mongolia could not bear the ravages of the rebels and fled one after another. The Inner Mongolia garrison is also in a hurry. Under the condemnation of domestic public opinion, Yuan Shikai ordered the General Staff and the War Department to command the garrisons in Mukden, Rehe, Chahar, Shanxi, Suiyuan and other places to counterattack, but the order of the central side was obviously a beat slower than the pace of the rebels moving south. Although the defenders in various places were superior to the Mongolian army in terms of numbers, they were dispatched a little later and did not form a unified deployment. News of the defeat came from all over the country.

"Phew! Bah! As soon as Lu Jun came out of the tent, an oncoming gust of wind blew the sand into his mouth, which made Lu Jun, who was just in a mood in the morning, depressed.

"Army, it's early." The two rode horses, their blue-gray military uniforms were already worn, and they carried bows and arrows on their backs. This thing was exchanged from the Mongolian people, in the grassland, bows and arrows are better than guns, guns are less than one shot, there is no place to make up for them, and a lot of arrows can be recycled. The man at the head had a fat rabbit in his hand, and when he came near, he turned over and dismounted. Revealing a thigh with a big hole on the other side.

"It's really his grandmother's bad luck, and she went hunting and her pants were broken." Chen Yong scolded. "Dajun, your skills are good, you will pick off this rabbit's skin, I will go and exchange some wine with the nearby Mongolian people, and we will have a good drink at noon."

"Okay!" Lu Jun smiled, took the fat rabbit handed by Chen Yong, and lifted it with two ears, this Chen Yong's eyesight is good. The hand pole is steady, and he usually catches the most prey. Lu Jun and a few others are good, and they are not less touched by Chen Yong's light.

Chen Yong, Lü Jun is a company stationed in Kundu Lengsumu, some military supplies from the interior is not realistic, most of them are directly found in the ocean, what is lacking for the soldiers to buy by themselves. But that's it, and the soldiers' military routines are incomplete. Usually stationed in Kundu Lengsumu, there is no bird business, and the whole army is not available, and the soldiers who have some ideas will make some extra money from time to time. Beat the tooth sacrifice or something.

"Dajun, you said that we nest in this place where chickens don't lay eggs and birds don't all day long, when will it be the end." Wang Kunyu, the youngest of the several people, took Chai He aside and put him down, watching Lu Jun skin the rabbit.

"What, you have an idea? Not to mention, good iron doesn't nail it, good men don't serve soldiers, if there was a place to go, I wouldn't be this big soldier. Lu Jun laughed self-deprecatingly.

"Dajun, don't mention, I have a distant cousin stationed in Tuquan with the army, when they have nothing to do, they have been to Taonan a few times, there is money in that place, I heard that doing an ordinary long-term job over there can earn more than 20 oceans a year, if you have a little skill in your hand, it is not for nothing to earn thirty or forty a year."

"Is there such a thing?" Lu Jun even stopped what he was doing when he heard this.

"Absolutely."

"If you can earn more than 20 oceans a year as a long-term worker, then we can still be a fart soldier, so we can just go directly to Taonan." Hearing more than twenty oceans, Lu Jun's eyes were a little confused.

"My cousin also said that those soldiers in Taonan are better dressed than the Central Army, the military uniforms on their bodies are brand new, and they have winter coats in winter, and I heard that last year everyone was given a pair of fur shoes, which can be worn on their feet to warm up."

"Brag, thick fur shoes, the Central Army never dreamed that the local army over there in Taonan could have this treatment? Or an officer. Speaking of which, Lu Jun didn't believe it very much.

"Lying to you is a bastard, I don't believe you will go to Taonan with me." Wang Kunyu cursed.

"Taonan, it's really far away, why don't we go and see it another day, anyway, it's okay to stay in this camp."

After working for a while, he removed the internal organs, washed the rabbit, and made a pot of wontons, and the pungent aroma made Chen Yong, who rushed back, swallow his saliva.

The sound of a messy and hurried horse's hooves reached the ears of several people.

"Oh no, Meng, the bandits are coming!"

The man at the head was wearing a shabby military uniform, the hat on his head had fallen out of nowhere, and he shouted in a panic.

"Let your mother's dog stinky fart, I've been here for more than half a year, and I can't hit a single bird, where did the bandits come from?" In addition, some soldiers stuck their heads out of the low tents and scolded, Qiu Ba Qiu Ba, if you can run out of the mouths of these soldiers, you will not be called Qiu Ba.

"Meng bandits, there are really Meng bandits, more than a hundred and dozens of people, they are going to be killed!" The man yelled. Dismount and run back to your tent to get your gun. Others rushed to get guns with suspicion.

As soon as many people picked up their rifles, they heard the faint sound of horses coming from a distance.

"Fuck, there really are bandits! the guys! "Until now, these soldiers thought they were small bandits.

"What about the company commander? Don't call the company commander yet. ”

"I drank too much last night and haven't woken up yet."

"The bandits have all hit the door, and if you don't wake up the company commander, you have to splash it with water, hurry up!" Immediately someone yelled.

A company of less than 100 soldiers stationed in Kundu Leng Sumu took out their rifles one after another and defended themselves in several low houses and tents nearby.

"Bah, bah!"

"Bastard, do you think that the gun fell from the sky, and if you finish the gun, take the burning stick and go against these bandits? Without Lao Tzu's order, no shooting is allowed. The company commander, who was woken up by being splashed with water, sobered up a lot, wiped the water stains on his face, and kicked the soldier who had just shot on the buttocks.

"Chen Yong, you take a shed person to the easternmost tent. He Mazi, you take your platoon, move everything that can be moved to the front to block it for me, don't let the bandits' horse team rush in, or everyone will be finished together. Company Commander Liu Lifa split his head and covered his face and issued a series of orders.

"Get out of the way, old black, you're blocking the way of labor."

Liu Lifa rubbed his braincase, and saw that the chaotic scene had a headache, although he usually eats, drinks, prostitutes, and gambles, but he has been on the battlefield a few times, and he is psychologically much more stable than most people present.

The bandits came a little slower than expected, with a total of more than one hundred and seventy horsemen, most of them with a gun in their hands, and twenty or thirty of them dressed in a mess of large knives in their hands, sabers and the like.

"You outsiders, put down the weapons in your hands, you can give you a way to live, otherwise the chickens and dogs will not stay!" A Mongolian man who knew Chinese rode his horse to the front and shouted.

"Fart, put down the gun, Lao Tzu has no way to live." Liu Lifa scolded, snatched the rifle of the soldier next to him, pulled the bolt, aimed, pulled the trigger, and the action was done in one go.

"Phew!"

The Mongolian man who shouted from 300 meters away fell off his horse and screamed miserably, and he was hit in the shoulder by the shot just now, and he could not die for a while and a half.

"Good!" Seeing Liu Lifa's bravery, the other soldiers shot down the caller and cheered loudly. Even if you don't kill someone, you can hit with one shot from a distance of two or three hundred meters, and this kind of marksmanship is already miraculous in the eyes of these ordinary soldiers. Those Mongolian people who had never seen the world were even more surprised, and were shocked by Liu Lifa's shot.

"We are the Central Army, you dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head, where did you come from and go back with me, this matter is not to blame, otherwise when the main force of our troops arrives, you won't be able to leave if you want to." Seeing that the Mongolian bandits were shocked by himself, Liu Lifa was also a little proud in his heart, he put away his gun and shouted loudly, using Mongolian dialect, he had been on the grassland for so long, in addition to eating, drinking and sleeping, Liu Lifa's speech talent was relatively strong, and he could already speak some daily Mongolian language.

"Nonsense, Ezhen Khan has led tens of thousands of troops south, and he will enter the Central Plains in a few days, you are only such a small number of people, I advise you to surrender obediently, otherwise there will be a dead end." The other Mongolian man did not move forward again, shouting from afar.

"Ezhen Khan? Why haven't I heard of such a big sweat on the grasslands? ”

"Ignorant Han people, our noble Jebu Zundamba has just been proclaimed emperor, and you naturally don't know it."

"What, it's not bandits, it's rebels from Outer Mongolia!" The status of the Living Buddha among the Mongolian people is very high, these soldiers have been on the grassland for so long, and they have also heard of some of the great names of the Living Buddhas, and Jebtsundamba is the most prestigious one.

Bandits and rebels are completely different concepts, if they are bandits, the scale of this group is already very large, but if they are rebels, it means that they are only a very small part of their vanguard troops, and their less than 100 soldiers are not enough for the other party to stuff their teeth.

"What a panic, whether it is a bandit or a rebel, you have to survive this section first, otherwise it will be a dead end, all for Lao Tzu to stay in the original position, as long as they just come over, give me a fight to the death, beat them back, we will have a way to live." Liu Lifa shouted loudly. (To be continued......)
