In the telegram, Sun Yuanqi wrote:

Huchen and Shihou, two virtuous brothers, Dajian: Say goodbye to the moon, and unintentionally turn the world upside down. Visit and download TXT//Brother Yu is close to Shu, everything is as usual, and it is still peaceful. Only to see the Central Plains, the surface of the river beacon in the sky, compatriots hand and foot swords and soldiers to see each other, quite a sense of the vicissitudes of the sea. Wen Jun and others are Lema Yanjin, Jing Lu North Finger, the Beijing Master is sensational, the world is stomping, life is like this, isn't it happy! The big husband should be like this. However, the foolish brother has no great ambitions, and he can't plan Gou An, at this moment, he is willing to watch the ugliness of the sidelines, and slightly show sincerity.

Recently, I met with the gentlemen of Beijing and northern Henan, and knew a little about the situation in the world. In the humble opinion of the foolish brother, although the virtuous brother is proud of the spring breeze at the moment, he is actually in danger. Why? Zhang Jingyu (Zhang Shaozeng) is vacillating, which is not enough to rely on, and this is one of them; The Beijing division is heavily defended, and it is difficult to take it down, and this is the second; Jun and other departments are all students, and they can't fight hard, and this is the third; Wu Suiqing (Wu Luzhen) is the old brigade of Beiyang, and he is afraid of accidents, and this is the fourth; Yuan Weiting (Yuan Shikai) has a good artillery and artillery, and there must be a plan, and this is the fifth.

Now that the revolution has become a prairie fire, the Ding Revolution should be in three months, not here at one time and one place. The so-called hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, and the Qing family has been hanging for 300 years, and there will be some action. What the virtuous brothers and others do is just the icing on the cake, and the generation suffers from the backlash, and this wise man does not do it. And Jingshi University and Beijing are close at hand, once they are coerced by the Qing court, the jade will be burned, and it is not a good person.

In the opinion of a foolish brother, it is better to avoid it for the time being. Half of your light army went north, and the wing school; Half of them carried heavy weapons from Jin to Shaanxi, or stationed in northern Shaanxi, or moved to Gansu and Qing in the northwest, or joined forces with Zhao Xingzhi's army, as the king wanted. It seems to be slightly better than being in a dangerous place at the moment.

Contempt is so, but there is a saying that "the general is outside, and the king's order is not affected" in military affairs, and we belong to teachers and students? Vulgar opinions, only two virtuous brothers choose. That is, the ode to the winter good. Foolish brother Sun Yuan paused.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the teacher wrote letters to the disciples he valued, and he often used the title of "virtuous brother" to show his respect for his disciples. It shows that the two are not only in a master-apprentice relationship, but also learn from each other; Second, it shows the closeness and love for the disciples, like brothers and sisters. But if the teacher writes credit to the student as "benevolent brother", it is not respectful and close. Rather, it indicates "respecting and staying away", that is, there is no informal mentor-apprentice relationship between the two.

Cheng Ziyin read the telegram at a glance and handed it directly to Zhang Huizan. Zhang Huizan hurriedly finished reading, frowning slightly: "Brother Huchen, according to you-"

"Do as the telegram says! I will take 1,300 people back to school, and you will take the rest of the people back to Shaanxi from Pingxingguan. As for what to do after arriving in Shaanxi, you can discuss it with Zhao Xietong. "Cheng Ziyin has no formal military education. It is also a blind eye to the domestic political situation. In his opinion, Mr. Sun can do whatever he wants! Anyway, Mr. Sun is reasonable, and he won't cheat himself.

Zhang Huizan hurriedly said, "Brother Huchen, I'm not talking about this. I mean, let's go, what are they going to do, Commander Wu? ”

More than 2,000 people in Cheng Ziyin and Zhang Huizan's department ate Wu Luzhen's grain and took Wu Luzhen's salary, and they couldn't help Wu Luzhen's life, which was already very unfortunate. If you don't say goodbye. Directly exposing the frontal face of the Yan-Jin coalition army to the enemy is tantamount to betrayal. As a native of Shandong, Cheng Ziyin attaches the most importance to brotherly righteousness. This kind of thing of saying goodbye without saying goodbye really can't be done. At the moment, he glared and said, "Brother Shihou, you have a lot of ink in your belly, give me an idea!" ”

Zhang Huizan was a little helpless: "All of a sudden, what good ideas can I have?" ”

"Haven't you ever drunk foreign ink? Zhuge Kongming has three plans in one step, even if you are worse than him, there should always be a plan in one step, right? I'm a rough person, so don't hide it, don't miss the big thing of Mr. Cheng Ziyin urged.

Zhang Huizan smiled wryly and said in his heart: The Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School only teaches how to march and fight, but does not teach how to make suggestions; It was the Japanese Army University that taught people advice!

I believe that for most Chinese. The Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School ("Lu Shi") is more famous than the Japanese Army University ("Lu Dai"). In fact, "Lu Shi" is equivalent to today's military academies, and the enrollment target is middle school students, and after graduation, the cadets are mainly assigned to the army as company commanders, platoon commanders and other grass-roots officers, so the teaching content is mainly how to march and fight. The "Lu University" is similar to China's National Defense University, and the enrollment targets are "Lu Shi" graduates, more than two years of experience in the army, and lieutenants under the age of 30. After graduation, you can enter the middle level of the army, relatively speaking, the teaching content is naturally richer, and more emphasis is placed on how to make suggestions.

In terms of training level, "Lu Shi" is a bit like the preparatory school of "Lu University". It stands to reason that the top students selected by "Lu University" are all graduates of "Lu Shi", and they should be better than blue. Why is "Lu Shi" more famous than "Lu Da"? There are three factors that should not be overlooked:

First, it has to do with the number of graduates. Before the abolition of "Lu Shi" in 1945, a total of 61 sessions were held, training 36,900 officers; In the same period, there were only 3,485 graduates in the 64 years since the establishment of the "Lu University", which is less than one-tenth of the number of "Lu Shi". The so-called "more people are stronger", in comparison, "Lu Shi" is naturally more influential.

Second, it is closely related to the evaluation of the Japanese army by world military critics during World War II, that is, "a first-class tactician and an unpopular strategist". The Japanese soldiers were known for their bravery, the British and French troops were killed, and the American GIs had enough of suffering in the Pacific, not to mention the dirt road. However, the Japanese generals were blind-eyed, focusing only on the victory of one battle after another, ignoring the strategic comparison of advantages and disadvantages, blindly attacking cities and territories, and even daring to attack the United States. The Japanese Empire, which was once in full swing, came to an end in this victory. However, the "first-class tacticians" are inseparable from the background of "Lu Shi", and the "strategists who do not enter the stream" are nine times out of ten graduates of "Lu University". In this way, how can the reputation of "Lu Da" be stronger than that of "Lu Shi"?

Third, it is related to the number of Chinese students in these two schools. From 1898, when the first batch of non-commissioned officers and students studying in Japan went to Japan, to the outbreak of the all-out War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in 1937, China had a total of 29 periods of "Lu Shi" students, reaching more than 1,600 people, almost all over the Chinese military circles. In order to deceive a sense of identity, even Comrade Chang Kaishen, who graduated from the Zhenwu Military Academy and did not step into the "Lu Shi" for half a step, had to falsify his academic qualifications and claim that he was a Lu Shi graduate. And applying for the "Lu University" requires more than 2 years of service in the Japanese army, and it is naturally difficult for the Chinese to meet the requirements - this may also be that the Japanese army is worried about "teaching apprentices and starving masters", so they deliberately left a hand and specially set this threshold to prevent Chinese from applying for the examination - due to this restriction, "Lu University" actually did not have a single Chinese graduate, only a few auditors and visiting students such as Wang Jun and Xiong Shihui. As a result, the reputation of "Lu Da" in China is naturally not obvious.

Zhang Huizan inherited the fine tradition of "Lu Shi", if you want to say that the army is marching and fighting, he can say that he is ugly; It is difficult for some strong people to get him to give advice. He gnawed for a long time before he came up with an idea: "It's not good for us to come forward directly in this matter, I'm afraid we will have to trouble Senior Brother Zhao." ”

"Oh?"

Zhang Huizan said: "Listening to the radio yesterday, I learned that the Qing court's Zhao Kui's army was deployed at the junction of Henan and Shaanxi, and there were signs of strict defense, and it was estimated that the eastern front of Shaanxi would not be able to fight for a while and a half. However, the western front was in a precarious situation, it is said that Ma Anliang, the general soldier of Gansu, formed an elite army, Zhang Xingzhi, the governor of Guyuan, formed a Zhuangkai army, and Lu Hongtao, the first standard commander of the Gansu standing army, formed a Zhenwu army, a total of sixty or seventy battalion heads, claiming to be the king of Qin, and attacked Shaanxi in two directions, east and south. Ma Anliang even spoke wildly, saying, 'A few student dolls are making trouble, what's the big deal?' As soon as our army comes out, it is guaranteed to be able to step on the horse', which is extremely arrogant! ”

Cheng Ziyin pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "Just rely on their old coffins? Zhao Xietong's five thousand elite soldiers are enough for them to have no return! ”

"Brother Huchen, Gan Jun is skilled in equestrianism, and his combat power should not be underestimated! When Zuo Wenxianggong (Zuo Zongtang) suppressed the rebellion, he suffered a lot. In particular, the elite army of Ma Anliang's department is the old foundation left by Ma Zhanao, and it has been killed for a long time, and it is the main force in the main force of the Qing army. Zhang Huizan reminded.

Although Cheng Ziyin had begun to worry about the war in Shaanxi, he was still unconvinced: "The cavalry was invincible to the infantry, that was the era of cold weapons, so Zuo Wenxiang Gong inevitably suffered at that time." Now the situation has changed, and spears and cannons are king! They cavalry try again? We dug trenches, set up hundreds of mortars, and let his cavalry charge as many as they wanted, and guaranteed to die as many as they came! ”

Zhang Huizan knew that Cheng Ziyin was a rough man, so he had to continue to explain: "Well, although the truth is like this, the battlefield is ever-changing, and the advantages and disadvantages can be changed at any time, and there is no certain number. In the end, who can say? What's more, Senior Brother Zhao's department is a guest army, and it has only been a few dozen days since he arrived in Shaanxi, which is not enough to control the overall situation. Those who have evil intentions are now lurking in the shadows, always watching for opportunities. Therefore, in Xi'an, Han and other important cities, it is necessary to keep elite soldiers and ammunition to put an end to their covetousness

Although Zhao Wei's troops on the eastern front did not move, it did not mean that he did not have the ambition to capture Shaanxi, and he must send troops to closely monitor it. The two Gan armies on the western front were menacing, and they had to be heavily defended and dealt with carefully. At present, Shaanxi can be said to have unending internal troubles and external troubles. In this difficult situation at home and abroad, it is inevitable that the troops will be overstretched. And Shaanxi is an important place connecting Shanxi and Sichuan, so there is no room for the slightest mistake.

"Therefore, my strategy is to ask Senior Brother Zhao to send a telegram to the headquarters of the Yan-Jin coalition army, explaining the predicament faced by Shaanxi, explaining the current danger of the coalition army, ordering our troops of the original 44th Mixed Association to return to the establishment as soon as possible, and inviting Commander Wu to enter Shaanxi by the way. Whether Commander Wu agrees or not, at least we have enough excuses to divide our troops and evacuate according to Mr. Wu's instructions. And before evacuating, let Commander Wu have enough time to adjust the deployment. ”

"Good idea. Brother Shihou is worthy of drinking foreign ink! Cheng Ziyin praised loudly. (To be continued.) )
