"Feng Tou, he's coming soon, you have to get an idea!" Zhao Weixiu broke into Feng Lun's bedroom and pulled up Feng Lun, who was lying on the bed and thinking about it.

"What's the idea?" Feng Lun stared at Zhao Weixiu coldly, "Scared? ”

"I'm afraid of a ball......

"Why weren't you afraid when you kid gave the order to surprise those people?"

"Isn't that because of your orders?"

"When am I going to give you the order to kill?"

"Feng Tou, you must have a conscience when you speak and do things!" Zhao Weixiu was chilled for a while, feeling that Feng Lun was going to throw himself out as a scapegoat.

"Conscience? How much is a pound of conscience? You give a price. Feng Lun stared at Zhao Weixiu, whose face was hideous, "You say, will he reveal this matter?" ”

"I don't know. If Commander Zhou intercedes with you, maybe ......"

"! I'm not going to be finished this time! Look at Qin Qihai's appearance, Liu Chunning's attitude, can you let you go? Stop dreaming! ”

If it weren't for Feng Lun Libao, Zhao Weixiu, who single-handedly created the Xinning killing incident, would have been removed from his post by Liu Chunning, the standard commander. Zhou Yi promoted Zhao Weixiu to the standard commander at Feng Lun's request, and after Cao Minzhong was dismissed, Zhao Weixiu, who was holding back his anger, remained in the 37th standard as his battalion commander. Probably related to this incident, Zhao Weixiu actually shot and killed more than 340 rebel prisoners who had laid down their arms in Xinning.

After the Xinning incident fermented, Long Qian strictly ordered the Political Department to investigate the case. Cao Minzhong sent his capable military judge Qin Qihai to the 37th standard, and with the vigorous cooperation of Liu Chunning, the standard commander, investigated the case. After Qin Qihai went deep into the investigation of ordinary soldiers, he was forced to be pressured. The officers of the second battalion, who had made an offensive and defensive alliance with Zhao Weixiu, began to waver, and Qin Qihai gradually grasped the truth, not at all as the collective testimony of the officers of the second battalion said that it was to quell the riot, but an out-and-out massacre of unarmed prisoners!

This is an unprecedented event in the history of the Mengshan Army! Since the establishment of the Mengshan Army, Long Qian has single-handedly formulated military regulations and regulations, and it has become a tradition of the Mengshan Army not to abuse prisoners, let alone collective slaughter!

Shoot a captive for scolding him? Just kill them all because you're worried that the other captives will report it? Qin Qihai thinks that the incident is extremely bad! And there is evidence that Zhao Weixiu was instigated by a more senior officer, this person is not Zhao Weixiu's immediate boss Liu Chunning, but Feng Lun, the commander of the 19th Association!

Jealousy is like hatred, and Qin Qihai, who lives by maintaining military discipline, is determined to find out.

Feng Lun began to feel threatened.

Zhao Weixiu's eyes turned red. He knew the consequences if Qin Qihai submitted an investigation report. It's nice to be able to save your life, improve? Continue to be a battalion commander? As Feng Lun said, it's a complete dream!

"Whoever fucking gets in the way of Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will fucking die!" Zhao Weixiu said viciously.

"This thing. As long as you have the guts. There is still a turnaround. Feng Lun induced.

"What to do? You said! ”

"Your second battalion. Can you really control it? ”

"Except for the fourth company, the other two companies have no problem." The vast majority of the officers and men of the 2nd Battalion participated in the Xinning Killing Incident, and it was the 6th Company that instigated the incident. But the fourth and fifth companies were involved.

"Kill Qin Qihai and Liu Chunning, and force him to give up tracking and dealing with you, do you dare?" Feng Lun said viciously to Zhao Weixiu.

"Kill Liu Biaotong?" Zhao Weixiu, who has always been bold, didn't expect Feng Lun to make such a suggestion.

"Scared?" Feng Lun took two steps forward, "Just this little bit of courage still wants to mix in this world?" The surname Zhao, you have to think clearly, take a step forward, glory and wealth are waiting for you, shrink back, and people will chop off your dog's head! Now there is a lot of talk outside, and the newspapers in Guangzhou have been spreading this matter all day long. Even Nanning and Guilin shouted all over it. If you change to Lao Tzu, you will close all those newspapers! But he won't, he always shows a hypocritical face on the outside, and on the inside, he would rather be wronged by the brothers who follow him to fight the world! Like this survey for you! When did you remember that you are also an old brother from Mengshan? Lao Tzu was one of the only four company commanders in the Mengshan Army, where were the original company commanders? Ye Yanbing is in charge of the main force in Shandong, and he is already the head of the first division, Feng Guozhu and Wang Mingyuan, which is not above me? Wu Nian and Shi Dashou are fart! I even became a division commander! And Lao Tzu has followed him to raise troops, which battle has been lost? Hit Li Chun? Hit Xigu? Which time is not a desperate race to be the first? Why do you treat me like this? The battle of Lingshan is just a lot of casualties, don't say anything about my deputy co-ordinator, hold on to it, and the conference will approve it, as if Lao Tzu has committed a big crime! Also, Lao Tzu is just begging for a little wife, I love her, what's wrong? As for making such a big fuss? What kind of saint is he again? Isn't it to engage a schoolgirl to raise around? The more Feng Lun spoke, the more angry he became, "He's unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!" In these years, whoever has soldiers and guns in his hands is the uncle! The court also has to look at our eyes! Lao Zhao, you have been with me for a long time, and now I will give you the words of my heart! Let's make a big deal this time! Even he did it! The imperial court has promised to make me the commander of the division, and you are the brigade commander! Do you want to do it? After speaking, he glared at Zhao Weixiu viciously.

Zhao Weixiu was frightened and stammered and asked, "Feng Tou, I didn't hear clearly, just now you said that you want to be the commander?" ”

"That's right! He's not three-headed and six-armed! A volley of guns is over and it's over! After he died, the Mengshan army was destined to split, and the others were too busy to take care of themselves, where would anyone look for us to take revenge? The Nineteenth Association followed Lao Tzu to do it, and all of them were promoted, and those who didn't want to follow Lao Tzu did it, one ended, and died! First control the old twenty standards (thirty-seven standards), rely on your battalion, and you can accomplish this big thing! ”

Zhao Weixiu didn't come to his senses, "The troops won't follow me...... No, if it's okay to kill that bastard surnamed Qin, it's not impossible to kill Liu Chunning, but let the big guy kill the commander...... This thing can't be done, it can't be done! ”

"The surname is Zhao! Your grandma's for Lao Tzu to think clearly! You're done this time! If he had treated you, you would have been the standard commander a long time ago, and you would not have coordinated a Qin Dahu from the Nine! As for the company platoon commanders below, they know a fart, you say that this time the top will be chased to the end, at least they will be expelled from the army, what choice will they make? Don't even think about washing your hands clean if you have blood on them! Two ways, either you wait to eat the gun. Either seek wealth and danger, and open a bloody way to earn! Kill him, Zhou Yi absolutely I listen to me, with Zhou Yi here, our tenth town will not be chaotic, the fifth town is far away in Guangdong, afraid of the ball? Not to mention that they are too busy to take care of themselves, even if they come to Guangxi to find trouble with us, are they still afraid of them? The people of the imperial court are at Zhou Yi's headquarters, so let's tell you the truth. Zhou Yi was also half-hearted and couldn't make up his mind. Let's help him make up his mind! When this is over, I'm the Tenth Town Commander, and you're the Coordinator, don't fucking hesitate. Wait for death or fight for a way out? ”

Zhao Weixiu already has a gambler's mentality. decided that Shangfeng would definitely deal with him this time. Under Feng Lun's coercion and temptation, he embarked on the road of rebellion.

On July 23, 1909, this date was engraved in the military history of the Mengshan Army.

At that time, Feng Lun's 19th Joint Headquarters was stationed in Xinning, and Liu Chunning's 37th Standard Command was stationed in Luoli Market, seven miles west of Xinning. The second battalion was stationed in Hanjiangzhai four miles south of Luoli Market, and the first battalion and the third battalion were stationed east of Xinning.

In the evening, Zhao Weixiu convened a meeting of the officers of the second battalion, saying that Feng Xietong wanted to give a lecture and concentrate the officers above the platoon commander of the second battalion at the battalion headquarters. Zhao Weixiu went straight to the point and said that this time Commander Long was going to solve the Xinning incident, and all officers would be punished! Those who participated in the killing of the prisoners were all shot. Now we can't wait to die, we have to resist! Unbelief? Feng Xietong can prove.

Feng Lun's presence has already made his attitude clear.

Zheng Xiaoshui, the commander of the fourth company of the second battalion, was the son of Zhengjiazhuang who joined the army, but he did not join the army when the Mengshan Army was stationed in Zhengjiazhuang, and he joined the army late. Zheng Xiaoshui is a member of the 37th Youth Army Federation and the secretary of the 2nd Battalion Youth Army Federation, and immediately asked Zhao Weixiu, how do you resist? Do you want to rebel?

Zhao Weixiu had long known that Zheng Xiaoshui would not go with him. Qin Qihai investigated the Xinning incident, and it was Zheng Xiaoshui, who opposed the killing of prisoners at that time, who provided ironclad evidence. Zhao Weixiu pulled out his pistol and fired several shots directly at Zheng Xiaoshui, killing this excellent company commander on the spot!

"Whoever doesn't do it, this is the end! This kid has betrayed us to the military judge, and Lao Tzu is avenging everyone today! Who is still not convinced? Zhao Weixiu's eyes were red.

Seeing this, the two platoon commanders of the fourth company were about to break out of the battalion headquarters, they were not equipped with pistols, and only officers above the company commander level of the Mengshan Army were equipped with pistols, so naturally they would not bring rifles to the meeting. They were immediately caught by several traitors who were staring at them, dragged them into the courtyard and shot them indiscriminately.

Subsequently, Zhao Weixiu ordered the officers of all departments to immediately assemble the troops, and arrested all the members of the Youth Army Federation by name, in order not to affect the morale of the army, Feng Lun and Zhao Weixiu did not dare to order the shooting of these more than 30 officers and soldiers, but just tied them up and stuffed them into a black room and imprisoned. Then he led hundreds of officers and soldiers who were coerced and deceived to survive to run and break into the headquarters of the 37th Bid of Luoli Market (the latest number is the 4th Brigade and 10th Regiment of the 2nd Division), preparing to kill Liu Chunning and Qin Qihai, who lived in the regiment headquarters. The sentries standing guard in the regimental headquarters guard company found a large group of officers and men rushing over, felt that the situation was not right, and ordered them not to approach, so a platoon of the sixth company that took the lead fired indiscriminately and killed two sentries in front of the regimental headquarters compound. Immediately, the rebels broke into the regimental headquarters and killed people on sight, and the scene was chaotic.

Before the guard company could assemble to resist, the rebels had already rushed into the headquarters, and Liu Chunning, Qin Qihai, and Yu Fuqi, chief of staff of the 37th standard, were all killed. The guards put up a hasty resistance and suffered heavy casualties, but half of their troops still broke through and disappeared.

Feng Lun found that he had miscalculated. At this point, he only controlled two and a half companies of the second battalion. The strength of the army was only about 400 people. The killing of Liu Chunning and his chief of staff, Yu Fuqi, led to the loss of control of the 1st and 3rd Battalions and the Machine Gun Company to the east of Luoli Market. These two battalions did not participate in the killing of prisoners in Xinning, and they may not rebel against themselves. If Liu Chunning was alive, he could have ordered the officers of the 1st and 3rd Battalions to come to Luoli Market for a meeting and then control it, but now it is troublesome.

Now, Feng Lun himself can't control the chaos of the second battalion. He didn't dare to take the second battalion to the first and third battalions, in case those two battalions were disobedient, these hundreds of people in the second battalion were definitely not the opponents of the two whole battalions, not to mention that there was a machine gun company equipped with light and heavy machine guns and mortars over there!

Finally found Zhao Weixiu, who was red-eyed, and ordered him to immediately reorganize the team and protect him back to Xinning, he must first control the team directly under his headquarters, the troops that can be put into battle by the Nineteenth Association Command have a guard company that thinks they absolutely obey their orders, and a cavalry communication company with strong combat effectiveness, and only by mastering these troops can he further threaten Zhou Yi, and even endanger Long Qian, who has arrived at Zhou Yi's Tenth Town Headquarters in Taiping Prefecture!

Unexpectedly, among the officers and soldiers of the 37th Standard Guard Company, a platoon commander named Bai Zhankui ran to Xinning first and reported the Luoli Market incident to Jia Junxiu, chief of staff of the 19th Association. Jia Junxiu was shocked, the first time was a premonition that something had happened to Feng Lun! Because Feng Lun went to Zhao Weixiu's camp in the afternoon!

Feng Lun is not there, and Jia Junxiu is the supreme commander of the 19th Association. He immediately ordered the guard company to assemble, and at the same time ordered the cavalry communication company to set off immediately, and notified the 38th Standard of the 19th Association (the new number is the 4th Brigade and 11th Regiment) 30 miles away from Xinning, and immediately set off fully armed to quell the chaos! In a hurry, Jia Junxiu did not forget to send a cavalry communication company to Taiping Prefecture to report to Zhou Yi that the 37th Standard was in turmoil and Feng Lun's whereabouts were unknown.

After half of the cavalry communication company set off, the anxious Jia Junxiu led the guard company towards Luoli Market, he wanted to arrive at Luoli Market as soon as possible to control the situation, and in the dark he collided head-on with the second battalion led by Feng Lun.

Zhao Weixiu's second battalion had already lost control, and without saying a word, he shot at the oncoming guard company on the mountain road!

Jia Junxiu was shocked, knowing that the other side was the rebel who created the Luoli Ruins bloody case, and thought that a large number of soldiers must have been deceived, ignoring the dense rain of bullets fired from the opposite side, Jia Junxiu, who was riding on the horse, shouted that I was the chief of staff, immediately put down his weapons and stop the chaos, everyone should not be deceived by Zhao Weixiu.

A bullet shot into Jia Junxiu's chest, and blood gushed like a spring. Jia Junxiu was immediately seriously injured and fell into a coma. Wang Yao, the staff officer of the brigade headquarters who followed Jia Junxiu, categorically ordered the guard company to return fire, retreated to Xinning while fighting, and the second battalion surrounded the brigade headquarters, at this time Feng Lun came out and ordered the guard company to stop resisting.

Wang Yao showed a rare sense of responsibility. He said to the guard company commander that Feng Lun was the culprit! Otherwise, why did he shoot at us and Chief of Staff Jia was seriously wounded while he was in the army? You are a witness! You are a member of the Youth Army Alliance, now you have to stand firm, lead the guard company to guard the headquarters, set up light and heavy machine guns, and never allow Feng Lun to step into the headquarters compound! If it is pursued afterwards, I will take it alone!

The panicked commander of the guard company actually complied.

Staff Officer Wang Yao then shouted to Feng Lun, "Feng Xietong, why are you with the rebels as an assistant commander?" If you are innocent, order them to lay down their weapons immediately, and everything will be clear when Commander Long arrives. ”

Seeing that his order was ineffective, Feng Lun categorically ordered the second battalion to attack.

Xinning, a small city in southern Guizhou famous for its prisoner killings, is destined to cause a sensation throughout the country again. On the evening of July 23, 1909, the quiet of the town was shattered by the sudden sound of gunfire mixed with the explosion of grenades. (To be continued......)
