"Lao Tzu has been registered with the War Department for two months, and Weishenme can't see Chief Huang? We walked from Guangxi to Nanjing to participate in the Northern Expedition, but now no one cares or asks. It's the cold season of spring, and the soldiers are all hungry and cold, and that's how your War Department treats us? ”

Every day, this kind of drama has to be performed more than a dozen times, and the receptionist who stayed behind has long lost his temper, and at first there were physical conflicts with the salaried officers, but now the receptionists see everyone with their eyes and noses, noses and hearts, where is the appearance of a mud bodhisattva.

Because General Huang had no money in his hand, he didn't dare to see these soldiers who came to ask for salary, and he was naturally a punching bag for the reception.

Wang Zhenyu, who came from later generations, naturally knew that this left-behind mansion was a mess, and it was completely Yuan Shikai who came up with a bad move, and he didn't give a big son, only gave Huang Xing a left-behind name, which was just a joke for the revolutionaries. Of course, it cannot be said that Yuan Shikai is a big villain, in fact, the current situation of this President Yuan is not much stronger than Huang Xing, the Beijing government has run out of money as early as the end of the Qing Dynasty, otherwise it would not even be able to send an army to suppress the revolution. After the revolution, the so-called central government can control the scope of the northern provinces, and the local provinces have been withheld by the powerful factions. Nowadays, they are poor and cannot pay a penny, and the army is generally in arrears for more than three months. The main revenue of the central government comes from salt taxes and customs duties, but these two big heads are unfortunately mortgaged to foreigners by the unfortunate Qing government, and the four-country banking group took advantage of this to force Lao Yuan to sign a large loan for the aftermath with very deductible conditions, because as long as the foreign powers do not recognize the Beijing government, then Yuan Shikai will not want to get a penny from the tariffs and salt taxes controlled by the foreign powers. This was the tragedy of China at that time, and later generations only knew that they were sarcastic and abused that Yuan Shikai signed such an unequal loan for the aftermath, but they did not know this deep thing, and the matter of Yuan Shikai signing a very mild loan for the four countries had to give up this settlement after learning about it, even if 25 million silver dollars had already arrived. Yuan Shikai did not want this loan at all, which was no different from extortion, but hoped to obtain the recognition of the foreign powers, and then get the tariffs and salt taxes that belonged to China in the name of the central government. When Yuan Shikai finally got this loan, he still allocated 8 million for the disarmament of the south, but the time was almost May, and the Nanjing Left-behind Mansion had been dissolved, and the final flow of these huge funds could only be to the southern provinces.

Sadly, however, the revolutionaries had to take on the drudgery of the offended people under the oppression of all parties (the most active of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang consortium).

As a result, the 300,000 army preparing for the Northern Expedition turned into beggars, and Huang Xing also changed from the army chief to the leader of the beggar gang. Every day, he travels back and forth between Nanjing and Shanghai, relying on a few thin noodles to borrow money from the bigwigs of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortiums to maintain. Here Huang Xing did not see the salaried officers, and when he arrived in Shanghai, the rich people refused to see Huang Xing. It's really a big coffee table full of cups.

Wang Zhenyu is also powerless about this, and he can't help him, and even he hopes that Huang Xing can be more difficult, so that his big Jihua who resells arms will be settled. He habitually glanced at the officer who was making trouble, and was immediately stunned, Andy Lau!

Wang Zhenyu hurriedly shook his head, time and space are not out of order, he actually saw the future Hong Kong and Taiwan star Andy Lau.

Take a closer look at this red-faced and thick-necked Andy Lau, well, it should just look like it, but I don't know who looks like whom?

Wang Zhenyu suddenly became interested in this person, and he walked over and persuaded others to say a few words.

Andy Lau was so angry that he rushed away as soon as he threw his hand, Wang Zhenyu hurriedly chased him out and stopped the man: "Listen to the accent, you are from Hunan!" ”

Then Andy Lau was a little angry, and out of politeness, he still gave up his hand and said: "You are also from Hunan." ”

Wang Zhenyu hurriedly said: "Yes, they are all fellow countrymen, don't be depressed, I'll invite you to have a meal and go!" ”

Four dishes and one soup, two bottles of wine, Wang Zhenyu and this copycat version of Andy Lau, you and I quickly became friends.

"Your name is Zhao Hengti? The commander of the Sixteenth Brigade? Wang Zhenyu looked at the handsome man in front of him in disbelief.

Zhao Hengti is the most famous warlord in Hunan in the history of the Republic of China. This was the first to call out for the autonomy of the United Provinces, and he was also the only democratically elected governor of the Republic of China during the mainland period. I didn't expect this guy to look like Andy Lau, no wonder he was elected governor!

Wang Zhenyu suddenly had a heart of love, he wanted to take Zhao Hengti under his command, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Zhao Hengti said late: "Brother Wang, it's not my brother, I'm putting up a fight, I promised to go back to Hunan last month to do things for Tan Dudu, how can I be untrustworthy." ”

"Then why is my brother still in Nanjing?" Wang Zhenyu was a little unwilling.

"I used to be an instructor at a military academy in Guangxi, and together with this revolution, I took more than 300 students to the north to aid Hubei, but when I arrived in Wuchang, the war was over, and it was said that the Hunan army in Hubei had attacked Yudaimen, and the Beiyang Army was unable to go south. So we went along the river to Nanjing, and wanted to participate in the Northern Expedition, but the Qing Emperor abdicated, and the north and the south negotiated peace. It has been four or five months since the division was dispatched from Guangxi, and all the military salaries have not been paid, and the soldiers have half a bowl of porridge every day that can't even stand with chopsticks. Seeing that it was about to be April, everyone was still wearing winter clothes, and they were almost as tattered as Hanako. Now the left-behind government wants all the troops to be repatriated to the province, but we don't even have the money to go back, so we can't ask for food to go back to Guangxi! I, Zhao, can pat my ass and throw the army to Changsha to take office, but these students all followed me out of Guangxi to revolutionize, I can't do this kind of thing" After speaking, Zhao Hengti raised a small glass of wine again, and took a sip.

Wang Zhenyu nodded approvingly: "Brother Zhao values righteousness and keeps his promises, and he is a man." ”

In my heart, I was overjoyed, I came to Nanjing this time, to a large extent, because of this famous student army in history, Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, Huang Shaohong, Liao Lei, Li Pinxian, Yu Zuobai and many other generals of the future Xingui Department are in this student army. If you really want to sleep, someone will give you a pillow! Hehe!

Wang Zhenyu thought about it for a while: "Brother Zhao, we are also people who are in love, there is a sentence that the younger brother has to say anyway." ”

Zhao Hengti looked at Wang Zhenyu in a daze, and really wanted Andy Lau to look cool.

"The situation in Hunan is more complicated, and Tan Dudu is also employing people, Brother Zhao, if you go early and late a day, the situation will be different, you have to consider this carefully. As for the more than 300 student troops, it is indeed a trouble, Wang's ability is limited, if it is said that it is indeed difficult to arrange a future for these people, but it is not difficult to take care of them and take care of food and clothing. ”

Zhao Hengti: "Brother Wang, although you and I are new acquaintances, but you are like the timely rain of Song Gongming, if you can really accept them, then it will be a great help for my brother!" ”

Wang Zhenyu was excitedly held by Zhao Hengti's hands, although he had a smile on his face, but his heart was not so good, how did I become the Song Gongming who betrayed his brother to fulfill himself!

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhao Hengti brought the student army to the garrison of the Ninth Brigade, and the left-behind government also went through the reorganization procedures very happily. However, the number of the 16th Brigade was not revoked, and Zhao Hengti also took 800 Hunan officers and soldiers of the 16th Brigade back to Changsha together. Strictly speaking, it is a defensive operation, but the left-behind government has no money to pay the opening fee.

It doesn't matter, Wang Zhenyu generously funded Zhao Hengti with 30,000 oceans for travel expenses, and Zhao Hengti felt inexplicable. proposed on the spot to marry Wang Zhenyu as a brother in life and death with a different surname, and Wang Zhenyu was naturally happy to marry Andy Lau of the Republic of China. The handsome guy is naturally also a handsome guy, Wang Zhenyu is swearing and thinking about yin at the same time.

Wang Zhenyu received the team of more than 300 people, and did not rush to mix with his original team, but came to a roll call.

"Li Zongren"

"To"

"Bai Chongxi"

"To"

"Huang Shaohong"

“……”

There are a lot of them, and some of the heads and brains of the Guangxi Xingui system in the future are here.

Can I become the number one person in China in the future? Wang Zhenyu didn't know.

But one thing is clear to Wang Zhenyu, military and football are in common in many places.

For example, you don't have to buy all the stars to make a team invincible.

Leaving aside the historical fame of these people, their fates have changed. If he hadn't had an accident, the result of these people would have been dismissed back to Guangxi with the dissolution of the Nanjing Left-behind Mansion, and they would have been unknown for more than ten years. Li Zongren's memoirs clearly write that in the most tragic time, Li Zongren didn't even have a job, and the Dian army and the Guangdong army had records of him eating mixed rice.

It wasn't until Lu Rongting was beaten by Sun Yat-sen and Chen Jiongming that he was severely injured, and his control over Guangxi as a whole dropped sharply, and the so-called new Gui system was able to take advantage of the situation.

For Wang Zhenyu, these student soldiers will be the most grassroots military backbone in the future. I now have three key officer groups in the old second battalion and the student army in Hubei and Guangxi, who have personally trained them. In the future, if it is expanded, I dare not say anything else, this officer will definitely not be lacking.

After being excited, Wang Zhenyu reminded himself not to have too close personal relations with these historical celebrities who had been snare under his command. If the development is too smooth, it may not be a good thing, and if it is not good, it is not to help others but to harm others, or let them rely on their own skills to come out step by step.

Then came the lecture, Wang Zhenyu publicly said that if he was willing to go home, he could pay the travel expenses, and if he was unwilling, he would stay here as a reserve officer.

At the same time, the arrears of these 300 people for half a year were paid at one time. The monthly salary of the student soldier is only four yuan, which is not much, and the left-behind house still can't give it. This also shows from one side how far Nanjing's finances have become. No wonder Sun Yat-sen will not hesitate to resign from the presidency and let Yuan Shikai steal the country, because the most practical situation is that the poor family has nothing to steal, and what kind of thief is there to guard, steal, steal.

Naturally, this group of student soldiers will not have a too promising future when they go back to Guangxi, and Lu Rongting and others, who are currently in power in Guangxi, are all bandits, so naturally they will not recognize these regular military academy cadets. Therefore, except for a few people such as Huang Shaohong, most of them chose to stay in the Ninth Brigade. Although Wang Zhenyu felt a little sorry for Huang Shaohong, a historical celebrity, he did what he said, and he immediately gave each of the 30 students who wanted to go back to Guangxi another 10 yuan for the travel expenses, and said warmly: Children, if you can't get along without a job when you go back, remember to come back to find your uncle and me.

Then it was time to digest these new members, and Wang Zhenyu divided the remaining 280 people into 27 classes. Twenty-seven people, including Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, Yu Zuobai, Liao Lei, and Li Pinxian, were appointed as acting squad leaders. Each platoon was divided into a squad, which was considered a preliminary breakup of them.

Then Wang Zhenyu and Yang Wangui were in charge of the placement of these new troops, he first changed the new uniforms of these student soldiers, and then sent them to each platoon one by one. He also repeatedly told the platoon commanders not to bully newcomers and not to engage in regional attacks. These pro-people moves made Li Zongren and other Guangxi student soldiers have a very good impression of them, and in addition, when they first came here, they were paying back arrears and promoting officers, so everyone's morale was very high.
