Chapter 054: The Dividends of the Revolution (4)
Li Zongren was fooled by Wang Zhenyu's speech, and felt that all the things in his heart were unraveled, yes, the revolution is only the beginning, everything is still repeated, we must use the revolutionary gun to push the revolution to the victory of Zuihou. If you don't leave, you will make a revolution in the Tiger Brigade. (Revolution Shout: Flax Daddy)
Wang Zhenyu was very satisfied with the effect of the speech, at least the morale and spirit of the trainees were completely different, and the spirit was not something that could be obtained by giving a few extra salaries.
Later, Wang Zhenyu visited three infantry battalions, and now each battalion is making various preparations for upgrading to the regiment. Wang Zhenyu would look at their preliminary preparations every time he went, and he was worthy of being instructed by Wan Yaohuang one by one, and the jihua of each battalion was quite thorough, especially after the participation of the quartermaster department. Seeing that this modern army already has the concept of synchronous coordination of various units, Wang Zhenyu is naturally very satisfied.
After walking for a day, Wang Zhenyu, who was a little tired, returned to the brigade headquarters, and at this time it was already dark, so he hurriedly took two mouthfuls of rice, soaked his feet, and covered his head and fell asleep without taking a bath.
As a result, not long after I fell asleep, I heard a gunshot.
Wang Zhenyu, who was very vigilant, immediately pulled out the shell gun he carried from under his pillow, and then jumped out of bed. As soon as he put his clothes on his body, he rushed into the brigade headquarters not far away with the guards guarding outside the house. When Wang Zhenyu rushed into the brigade headquarters at a trot, he had already given a very decisive order to the first battalion and the first company responsible for tonight's patrol and vigilance to enter a state of combat alert. Wang Zhenyu was very satisfied with Tao Zhiyue's emergency response, and in his opinion, an officer who can do it in the face of danger is a real general.
The gunfire became more and more intense, clearly beyond the scope of misfire. The officers and men of the Ninth Brigade, who were ordered to assemble, looked at each other, this is Nanjing, hundreds of kilometers away from the front line, and it has been suspended for several months, how can they shoot? What's going on?
At this time, someone from the left-behind mansion came, and the person who came rode a horse and shouted at the door with a military order in his hand: "The first part of the Gan army is making a mess in the third archway, and according to the military order of the garrison headquarters, your department is specially dispatched to arrest it." ”
Wang Zhenyu immediately ordered people to be let in, and after checking that the military order was correct, he hesitated slightly, after all, he had encountered the mutiny for the first time, and he had no experience. However, considering that there was no Nanjing Mutiny in the history textbooks, and that there was no major movement, then there was nothing to worry about, and the chaos was quelled according to the order.
"Tao Zhiyue"
"To"
"Order Zhao Dongsheng to immediately assemble the teaching team, and order Xu Yuanquan to immediately assemble the first battalion and follow the brigade commander to quell the chaos. Tell Ma Xicheng to drag out the grenades for me, two for each person, and if the situation is complicated, he will directly kill the rebels, there is nothing polite to say. ”
"Yes"......
After listening to the brigade commander's blood-boiling speech during the day, Li Zongren couldn't sleep for a long time, and was about to talk to Bai Chongxi in the lower bunk, when he heard a burst of gunshots. It's not a rookie egg, and you can deduce from the sound alone that the place where the shot was fired is still a little far away from you.
It didn't take long for the lights in the dormitory to turn on, and the detachment leader Song Haomin rushed in and shouted loudly in a slightly immature voice: "All assemble, emergency action ......"
Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi quickly put on their weapons and stood in the queue, and the more than 90 people in the teaching team and more than 300 people in the first battalion all completed the assembly. Ma Xicheng came over with dozens of wooden boxes with the people of the quartermaster department, opened them and looked, wow, all grenades. This thing used to be played by the second battalion, and the newly joined Guangxi soldiers only knew the principle and threw fake bombs, but the live ammunition was thrown all at once.
Zhao Dongsheng looked at the nervous and dazed appearance of these Guangxi student soldiers under his command, and it was rare to make a joke, he said loudly: "What do you see, don't tell Lao Tzu that you haven't seen the same guy in training." You little boys, listen to Lao Tzu, the order of the Nanjing Garrison Command says that some of the Jiangxi troops have rebelled, and we are ordered to quell the rebellion. In case there are many people on the other side, you can throw this thing, but give me a careful time when you throw it, see the person, don't blow yourself up, take a hit to the crotch of your pants and the thing will be gone, if you don't die, you can only send it to Beijing to be a eunuch for the Tartar Emperor, haha! ”
Everyone also followed the joy, and the tension was immediately relieved a lot. Wang Zhenyu has recently begun to consciously use civilized language, and he rarely says things like Lao Tzu, but Zhao Dongsheng has a lot of sentences, and he has learned all the orders, and he is not ashamed at all, but proud of his jiashi.
"Zhao Dongsheng, what nonsense, is the assembly over?" I heard Wang Zhenyu's angry shouting from a distance.
Zhao Dongsheng's neck immediately shrank, and he said, "Report to the brigade commander, the assembly is complete." ”
Wang Zhenyu shouted: "Then set off, Tiger Brigade, and fight bravely to kill the enemy." ”
The seven words zuihou later became the combat mobilization slogan of the Tiger Brigade.
According to Wang Zhenyu's order, the teaching team was used as the vanguard of the first battalion, and it was at the forefront of the team. And Song Haomin's first detachment is at the forefront of the teaching team. The units of the Ninth Brigade were probably the most well-trained of the Nanjing People's Army, and they were the first to rush to Taipingqiao, the place where the rebellion occurred; Li Zongren and the other five people, as the vanguard of the detachment, arrived in the Taipingqiao area in a group. From a distance, the Gan army was looting, and they had begun to burn the shops in an organized manner.
Speaking of which, the good or bad of people is actually just a thought, just a few months ago, these rebels were still the heroes of the whole country and the hope of the nation. shouldered the trust of all the people in the world, and bravely challenged the decaying Qing Dynasty with his own blood.
What a glory it was, but unfortunately the reality after the glory was even more cruel.
I didn't eat, I didn't drink, I didn't have a military pay, and I couldn't even get together a military uniform for the winter. Many people stuffed straw into their autumn clothes, and people snuggled up next to each other for the damn cold winter.
Winters in the south are more difficult than in the north, and no matter how cold it is in the north, everyone can hide in the kang, while in the south it is the same inside and outside, so it is not unfounded to say that southerners are more hardy than northerners.
No amount of revolutionary enthusiasm could withstand an empty belly, and soon these people's troops underwent qualitative changes through the accumulation of quantitative changes. They began to make trouble and began to toss, Huang Xing, who stayed behind, really couldn't get a big son, in desperation, Huang Xing did something that made the people of Nanjing hate, he actually let these people's troops raise their own salaries on the spot.
This matter was very common in the Republic of China, such as the defense area system in Sichuan and the defense area system during the revolutionary government in Guangdong. This system has been criticized throughout history and is considered to be the root of the warlord system. But at the time, it was a no-brainer.
The merchants were tormented by these soldiers, but even so, the people's army was still hungry and cold. The reason is simple, there are too many people in the People's Army.
The grandsons of the Ganjun army can be said to be the most bitter among them, and the defense area they were assigned happened to be the least oily and water, but the number of people was not the least. In this way, the contradiction comes out, the Gan army can't collect much protection money, and this day is naturally not much better?
As soon as some of the officers totaled, instead of collecting protection money piecemeal, it was better to grab a handful, and then take advantage of the chaos to take the team back to Jiangxi.
As a result, the teacher of benevolence and righteousness became a bandit overnight, and all this was caused by money......
In a shop not too far from Li Zongren and others, the owner of this house was killed by the Jiangxi army in order to protect his daughter from being humiliated by the Jiangxi army; However, his death was not meaningless, and as soon as he saw the dead man, the rebels who were going to find a girl to start an evil fire suddenly lost their interest in doing things. At the urging of the officers, they no longer paid attention to the deceased's wife and daughter, but continued to try to find everything of value in the house. The wife and daughter of the deceased hugged each other in horror and hid in the corner of the bed, looking with angry eyes at this group of rebels who had annihilated humanity and conscience.
The sound of smashing, swearing, screaming, and begging for mercy came from this area from time to time.
It is hard to imagine that just a few hours ago, these rebels were still revolutionary soldiers.
When the soldiers began to oppress the people, when the soldiers began to rise above the society, they were no longer soldiers, but a group of armed thugs, and the only way to wait for them was to be eliminated and judged, which is Wang Zhenyu's basic view on the legitimacy of the army......
Retracting his angry gaze, Li Zongren calmly touched the grenade inserted in the armed belt, and then gave the first order: "Sharp knife squad, prepare to attack." ”
When Yu Zuobai heard this, he was stunned for a moment: "Squad leader, the enemy situation on the other side is unknown, should we wait for the big army?" ”
Before Li Zongren could speak, Bai Chongxi glanced at Yu Zuobai: "I know that you kid is afraid of death, you think Brother Delin is stupid." You kid take a closer look at the Gan army on the other side, they are all burning houses and robbing them, and they are completely out of organization. As long as we kill them, they will surely collapse. What are you afraid of? Coward. ”
Yu Zuobai, who was red-faced, pushed back excitedly: "You, you're afraid of death." ”
Bai Chongxi was happy: "Then you are not afraid of death, you go first." ”
"First up, first up" Yu Zuobai roared and rushed out with a rifle, to the point where Bai Chongxi was thundered.
"Jiansheng" Li Zongren turned his head and glared at Bai Chongxi, seeing that the other party stuck out his tongue cutely, he could only shake his head helplessly, and then shouted, "All of them, throw grenades." ”
At this time, Yu Zuobai, who rushed out first, had already shot over two chaotic soldiers who couldn't figure out the situation, and the number of the Jiangxi army's chaotic soldiers was quite large, more than 800 people. Suddenly, when they saw someone shooting at them and knocking down the two brothers, they not only did not feel afraid, but became even more violent. Under the shouts of their respective officers, the rebels put away the looted belongings one after another, and at the same time picked up the guys in their hands and prepared to resist by force.
Immediately, hundreds of rebels rushed in the direction of Yu Zuobai's fire, but before they could get closer, they saw four or five black things flying from the opposite side. Before the rebels could figure out the situation, these black things exploded in the crowd of rebels.
"Bomb squad?" The Gan army was blown up dozens of people on the spot, and the people behind who were not bombed immediately came to a very terrifying conclusion. You must know that in history, the Qing army was most afraid of the revolutionary party's bomb team, and these people were not afraid of death at all, so they rushed forward when they were full of explosives, and threw bombs while rushing back. Do you know Guangzhou? The bomb team composed of more than 100 people brutally defeated the 3,000 defense troops and entered the Liangguang Governor's Palace. If it weren't for the immediate decision of Zhang Mingqi, the governor of Liangguang, to let his guards tear down the wall in the backyard of the governor's palace, the governor would have been captured alive by the revolutionary party on the spot.
The rebellious soldiers of the Jiangxi army are somewhat knowledgeable, and the result of such an explosion is that they lose their fighting spirit and disperse. Then, before the people who stayed behind in the mansion begged the other armies to send troops to come, Wang Zhenyu's Ninth Brigade easily quelled the entire rebellion, and hundreds of prisoners were captured.
Yu Zuobai said to Bai Chongxi very proudly: "Am I afraid of death?" ”
Bai Chongxi rolled his eyes and said, "You're really not afraid of death, you're just a little stupid." ”
Yu Zuobai was so angry that he shouted: "Bai Jiansheng ......"
PS: For the needs of the plot, Li Zongren was joined in the Guangxi Student Army to Nanjing, and the Nanjing Mutiny of the Jiangxi Army was also advanced by a month.
