Back to the Republic of China as a commander

Wang Zhenyu, who came from later generations, naturally knew that the left behind mansion was a mess. It was Yuan Shikai's idea to hurt him. He didn't give him a big son, but only gave Huang Xing the name of left behind, which was a joke for the revolutionaries.Of course, it cannot be said that Yuan Shikai is a big villain. In fact, the current situation of President Yuan is no better than that of Huang Xing. The Beijing government had no money as early as the end of the Qing Dynasty, otherwise it would not have been able to send troops to suppress the revolution.Now Beijing is also facing financial difficulties. After the revolution, the so-called central government can control only a few provinces in the north.Nowadays, the poor can't pay a penny, and the army generally owes more than three months.The main income of the central government comes from salt tax and tariffs, but unfortunately, these two big heads were mortgaged to foreigners by the unsatisfactory Qing government. It is a big loan to deal with the aftermath, because as long as the big powers do not recognize the Beijing government, Yuan Shikai will not be able to get a penny from the customs duties and salt taxes controlled by the big powers.This was the tragedy in China at that time. People in later generations only know how to satirize and abuse Yuan Shikai for signing such an unequal aftermath loan, but they don’t know the deeper things. Tuan had to give up the settlement after learning about it, even if 2500 million silver dollars had already arrived in the account.What Yuan Shikai wanted was not this loan, which was no different from extortion, but he hoped to gain the recognition of the big powers, and then in the name of the central government, he could get the tariff and salt tax that belonged to China.When Yuan Shikai finally got the loan, he still allocated 800 million from it for disarmament in the south, but it was almost May, and the Nanjing Left-behind Mansion had been disbanded, so the huge sum of money could only go to the southern provinces.

However, the sad thing is that under the oppression of various forces (the Jiangsu-Zhejiang consortium is the most active), the revolutionaries had to bite the bullet and take on the hard work of offending people.

As a result, the 30 troops preparing for the Northern Expedition suddenly turned into beggars, and Huang Xing also changed from the chief of the army to the leader of the beggar gang.Every day I go back and forth between Nanjing and Shanghai, relying on a few thin noodles to borrow money from the bigwigs of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortia.Here, Huang Xing did not see the officer asking for salary, but when he arrived in Shanghai, it was the wealthy people who refused to see Huang Xing.This is really a big coffee table full of cups.

Wang Zhenyu was also powerless about this, and there was nothing he could do to help him. He even hoped that Huang Xing would make it more difficult, so that his big plan of reselling arms would come to fruition.He habitually glanced at the officer making trouble, and was shocked, Andy Lau!

Wang Zhenyu shook his head hastily, there is no confusion in time and space, he actually saw Andy Lau, a big star from Hong Kong and Taiwan in later generations.

Take a closer look at Andy Lau, who is blushing and thick-necked, well, it should just be his appearance, but who does he look like?

Wang Zhenyu immediately became interested in this person, and he walked over to persuade others together.

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

Then Andy Lau calmed down a bit, out of politeness he still said yes: "You are also from Hunan."

Wang Zhenyu quickly approached: "Yes, they are all fellow villagers, don't be depressed, I will treat you to a meal, let's go!"

Four dishes, one soup, two bottles of wine, Wang Zhenyu and this copycat version of Andy Lau soon 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 was the most famous warlord in Hunan in the history of the Republic of China, bar none.This is the first person to call for inter-provincial self-government. He was also the only democratically elected governor in the mainland of the Republic of China.I didn't expect this guy to look like Andy Lau, no wonder he was elected governor!

Wang Zhenyu suddenly had a heart for talents, and he wanted to take Zhao Hengti under his command, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Zhao Hengti said too late: "Brother Wang, I'm not putting on airs, I promised to go back to Hunan to work for Governor Tan last month." Now, how can it be unbelievable.”

"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. When the revolution started, I took more than 300 students to the north to aid Hubei. When I arrived in Wuchang, the war was over. It was said that the Hunan Army that aided Hubei attacked Yudaimen by surprise, and the Beiyang Army was unable to go south. So we went to Nanjing along the river again. We 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 I left the army in Guangxi. I live with porridge. Seeing that it will be April soon, but everyone is still wearing winter clothes, which are almost tattered like beggars. Now the Liushou Mansion wants all the troops to return to the province, but we don’t even have the travel expenses to go back. No, I can’t beg for food and go back to Guangxi! I, Zhao, can slap my ass and throw the army to Changsha to take office, but these students all came out of Guangxi to revolution with me, I can’t do such a thing,” said Zhao Hengti He raised another small glass of wine and took a sip.

Wang Zhenyu nodded approvingly: "Brother Zhao is a man who values ​​justice and keeps promises."

But I was secretly happy in my heart. I came to Nanjing this time to a large extent because of this famous student army in history. The famous Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, Huang Shaohong, Liao Lei, Li Pinxian, Yu Zuobai and other future newcomers Many generals of the Guangxi faction are in this student army.It's really like someone sends a pillow when you want to sleep!hehe!

Wang Zhenyu thought for a while pretending to be embarrassed: "Brother Zhao, we are also people who hit it off, and there is something that I want to say no matter what."

Zhao Hengti stared blankly at Wang Zhenyu, really wanted Andy Lau to pretend to be cool.

"The situation in Hunan is more complicated. Dudu Tan is also at the time of employing people. Brother Zhao, the situation will be different if you go early or late. You have to consider this carefully. As for the more than 300 student troops, it is indeed troublesome. Wang's ability Limited, it is indeed difficult to arrange a future for these people, but it is not difficult to take care of them if they are taken in."

Zhao Hengti: "Brother Wang, although you and I are new acquaintances, you are as timely as Song Gongming. If you can really accept them, then you will be of great help to Brother!"

Wang Zhenyu was excitedly held by Zhao Hengti. Although he had a smile on his face, he didn't feel that way in his heart. Why did I become that Song Gongming who betrayed his brother to fulfill himself!

In the afternoon of that day, Zhao Hengti brought the student army to the base of the Ninth Brigade, and the Liushou Mansion quickly went through the reorganization procedures.However, the designation of the No.16 Brigade has not been revoked, and Zhao Hengti will bring [-] officers and soldiers from the [-]th Brigade back to Changsha.Strictly speaking, it was a defensive operation, but the left-behind mansion had no money to pay the departure fee.

It doesn't matter, Wang Zhenyu generously subsidized [-] oceans for Zhao Hengti's travel expenses, and Zhao Hengti felt inexplicable because of the extravagance.On the spot, he proposed to marry Wang Zhenyu as a life-and-death brother with a different surname. Naturally, Wang Zhenyu was happy to be sworn brothers with this Republic of China Andy Lau.The guy next to the handsome guy is naturally also a handsome guy, Wang Zhenyu became lustful while making obeisance.

Wang Zhenyu accepted the team of more than 300 people, and was not in a hurry to mix with his original team, but came to a roll call.

"Li Zongren"

"arrive"

"Bai Chongxi"

"arrive"

"Huang Shaohong"

"..."

There are quite a few, and some of the heads of the Xingui Clique in Guangxi will be here in the future.

Can I become the No. [-] person in China in the future?Wang Zhenyu didn't know.

But one thing, Wang Zhenyu is clear, the military and football are interlinked in many ways.

For example, it is not invincible to buy all the stars to form a team.

So let's not consider the historical fame of these people, their fate has changed.If I hadn't met Zhao Hengti by accident, these people would have been sent back to Guangxi following the disbandment of the Nanjing Liushou Mansion, and remained unknown for more than ten years.Li Zongren's memoirs clearly stated that at the most tragic time, Li Zongren didn't even have a job, and both the Yunnan Army and the Guangdong Army had records of him making a living.

It was not until Lu Rongting was severely injured by Sun Yat-sen and Chen Jiongming, and his control over Guangxi as a whole declined sharply, that the so-called New Guangxi faction was able to take advantage of the situation to rise.

For Wang Zhenyu, these student soldiers will be the best basic-level military backbone in the future.I now have three main groups of officers from the Second Battalion who have personally trained, the student army from Hubei and Guangxi.When it expands in the future, 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 relationships with these historical celebrities who have already recruited him.If the development is too smooth, it may not be a good thing. If it is not good, it will not help others but harm them. It is best to let them come out step by step by their own ability.

Then there was the lecture, Wang Zhenyu publicly stated that those who are willing to go home can pay the travel expenses, and those who are not willing to stay here as reserve officers.

At the same time, the arrears of more than 300 people for the past six months were paid in one go.The monthly salary of a soldier is only four yuan, which is not much, and the Liushou Mansion still can't afford it.This also shows from one aspect how far Nanjing's finances have come.No wonder Sun Yat-sen resigned from the presidency without hesitation and let Yuan Shikai steal the country, because the most practical situation is that the family is poor and has nothing to steal, and what kind of thieves are there to guard against, steal, steal.

Naturally, this group of student soldiers will not have a very good future when they return to Guangxi. Ke Lu Rongting and others who are currently in power in Guangxi are all bandits, so naturally they will not recognize these students from regular military schools.Therefore, except for a few people such as Huang Shaohong, most of them chose to stay in the Ninth Brigade.Although Wang Zhenyu felt sorry for Huang Shaohong, a famous historical figure, he did what he said. He immediately gave [-] yuan to each of the [-] students who wanted to go back to Guangxi. If you go down, remember to come back and find me, uncle.

Then it was time to digest these new members. Wang Zhenyu divided the remaining 280 people into 27 classes.Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, Yu Zuobai, Liao Lei, Li Pinxian and other 27 people were appointed as acting monitors.Each platoon is divided into one class, which can be regarded as initially breaking them up.

Then Wang Zhenyu and Yang Wangui were responsible for the placement of these new troops. He first changed the new uniforms for these student troops, and then sent them to each platoon one by one.He also repeatedly told the platoon leaders not to bully the newcomers, not to engage in regional attacks, and offenders would get [-] army sticks.These friendly actions made Li Zongren and other Guangxi student soldiers have a good impression of him. In addition, when they first came here, they had to make up for the payment of arrears and promote officers, so everyone's morale was very high.

Chapter 052 The Bonus of the Revolution ([-])

In the next week, the running-in situation of each company was pretty good, but friction always existed. There were many differences in language, region, living habits, and the nature of Chinese people who are not good at communication, so the contradictions naturally deepened.

As a result, during training on the morning of March 3, a platoon leader of the second battalion scolded the newly arrived Guangxi student soldiers, saying that Guangxi monkeys are stupid, which caused a small-scale riot.More than 9 people from both sides fought together, and the training ground was full of dust.

Wang Zhenyu didn't talk nonsense, and directly let Ma Xicheng and Zhao Dongsheng lead the brigade guards, and more than 40 people in the teaching team held military sticks, and beat the crowd in the melee. Many people who participated in the brawl were beaten to the ground with blood on their heads.The other people watching were all terrified.

Wang Zhenyu asked the ins and outs of the whole thing with a stern face, and without further ado, the platoon leader who cursed was beaten with twenty military sticks, and then he was fired from the army and told to leave.All others who participated in the fight, regardless of severity, will be rewarded with twenty army sticks.

In this way, everyone was honest, and the Ninth Brigade, composed of people from Hunan, Hubei, and Guangxi, temporarily achieved harmonious coexistence under Wang Zhenyu's high pressure.

Wang Zhenyu was not satisfied with this, and after discussing with Xu Yuanquan, Wan Yaohuang, Yang Wangui and others, he made a second adaptation of the Guangxi student soldiers.

The first is the big martial arts competition. The subjects of the competition are cultural and military basics (running, jumping, throwing, and shooting).

After two days of competition, Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, Yu Zuobai, Liao Lei, Li Pinxian and other 48 outstanding soldiers were added to the teaching team, and the number of teaching team reached 96 people.Wang Zhenyu has decided to upgrade the teaching team to a battalion-level unit. The captain is a major, and Zhao Dongsheng is concurrently in charge. There are sub-teams below.

Seventy excellent individual soldiers were divided up by the newly established staff room, military supply department, reconnaissance company, and special agent company of the brigade headquarters.The guards recruited veterans from each battalion to make up the establishment of 50 people.

The rest of the 160 two who failed to be selected will all be added to the 81 squads belonging to the three infantry battalions, with exactly two squads in each squad.After adding 280 Guangxi students, the total number of officers and soldiers in the whole brigade reached 190.Wang Zhenyu's plan was also clear, and he just waited for Liushoufu to decide to dismiss him.I carefully selected and expanded from the 30 people in Mali in Nanjing City to between 6000 and 500 people, and at least upgraded three battalions to three regiments.By the way, a [-]-strong engineer unit is also set up. Why did I get so close to Wang Zhixiang in the third quarter? Isn't it because the old boy has an engineer battalion under his command?

The personnel affairs are progressing smoothly, and the next step is military training.Although Yang Wangui is the chief of staff of the brigade, in fact he is not very familiar with modern military affairs.At present, the training plan of the Tiger Brigade is discussed by Wan Yaohuang and Xu Yuanquan. The newly compiled booklets of military regulations and training manuals have been distributed to all departments.Wan Yaohuang also specially designed a training effect assessment form, and checked the daily training effect unit by unit according to this form.

Wang Zhenyu was very satisfied with this, and appointed Wan Yaohuang as the director of the brigade training department and the director of the military law department, with the rank of lieutenant colonel.At the same time, Tang Hairong was appointed as the captain and company commander of the reconnaissance company, and Zhang Xuguang was appointed as the captain and company commander of the spy company; Wan Yaohuang was also responsible for the daily training of the spy company and the reconnaissance company. . .

Since the Ninth Infantry Brigade was assigned to the Nanjing Garrison Command, the station was adjusted to the Army Middle School.The environment here is elegant and the accommodation conditions are superior. What makes Wang Zhenyu even more satisfied is that there is actually a very professional training ground here. Naturally, such good conditions cannot be wasted in vain.

On the training ground, there was a lot of dust and people, and the team leader was shouting: "Hurry up, hurry up, you rubbish, you still want to be an officer like you, hurry up, hurry up for me, give me the strength to breastfeed!" Use it for Lao Tzu."
