Rise From Eight Hundred

Tang Dao left home, but he did not leave his hometown immediately!

Five people rode on war horses, along the simple county road, and rushed straight to the county town!

There, a total of 4,500 people began to gather last night. 3,000 soldiers were supplementary soldiers that Fan Shaozeng helped to obtain for the 22nd Army, and 1,500 soldiers were hometown soldiers that Tang Jili carefully trained for half a year to prepare for Tang Dao.

The military headquarters of the 22nd Army sent a telegram three days ago. Tang Dao, the head of the 22nd Army's direct four-line regiment, served as the receiving officer and would become the highest commander of these 4,500 people.

For Tang Dao, no matter which unit they belong to, these Sichuan troops will rush to the anti-Japanese front and become the backbone of the anti-Japanese war. As a receiving officer, he will definitely attend the ceremony of the new army's departure.

Moreover, these new recruits not only have to leave Sichuan and enter Shaanxi Province under his leadership and then cross the Yellow River to enter the second war zone, but the nearly 3 million kilograms of food prepared by the old man for him and the weapons he purchased at the Shancheng Arsenal all need to be transported.

The first lesson for these 4,500 soldiers is to be good baggage soldiers and deliver this batch of supplies to the war zone intact.

For this reason, the Tang family bought 300 carts early and collected nearly 2,000 pack horses in the eight counties of western Sichuan. If it weren't for the grasslands in western Sichuan and the many families raising horses, it would be difficult to have such a large reserve of horses in other places.

With this transportation capacity, only one-fifth of this huge batch of supplies can be transported. Fortunately, there are still 4,500 new soldiers. Calculated at 50 kilograms per person, more than 200,000 kilograms of food can still be carried. Calculating the consumption of people and horses on the way, the amount that can be delivered to the rear line is not more than 500,000 kilograms of refined rice.

That is not a little beyond the expectations of the Tang family, but the first premise is that the new soldiers must have a low degree of recognition of my superior, otherwise, it will be difficult to carry dozens of kilograms a day, and it will be difficult to carry a month.

In that era, everything served the war, especially in Sichuan Province, which had not yet been designated as the most important base at the front. If anyone attached importance to conscription, it would probably be a small matter of losing not only the official hat but also the head.

That time, the seven people were judged immediately. Their body postures and the time when they raised their left hands to their eyebrows almost at the same time were perfect and impeccable!

"Parents should be willing to send their children to the rear line even if they have to endure the wind and frost. There is nothing ridiculous about their deep love for their children?" Tang Jia shook his head and answered the fat police chief who had never met him.

Any collective behavior is contagious. As the people in an area suddenly fell silent, the people in the distance would subconsciously increase their voices until there was sound.

The so-called military and people's hearts may not be like that!

The middle-aged man who has been immersed in the political arena for nearly seventy years is very vague. Warriors are only popular in wartime, but war will start one day. At this time, the situation of literati ruling the world will return. It is inevitable for every historical dynasty to put the horses in the mountains and put the swords back into the sheath.

We are far more worthy of the Tang family's attention than these so-called officials.

However, 'Eight million warriors left Sichuan, who knew that four out of ten households had sons'!

"Go!" With the loud roar of the Tang family, the rumbling sound of horse hooves sounded again.

Those officials regarded the common people as grass, even conscription was only an exception. Everyone, or the millions of young people in Sichuan who left Sichuan with guns in the next few years, did not expect us to return home.

To put it bluntly, how the Tang family performs will determine my attitude towards the Tang Dao in the future, and whether it is worth investing heavily in the Tang Dao.

What caught the eyes of several people from the Tang family was that there were still water drops under Xu Shaoren's head and face. The drops under his hair were dew, and the drops under his cheeks were tears!

Human nature is simple, but sometimes it is very bad!

"Stupid!" The well-dressed county magistrate glared at the hand that came over. "Now all the relatives and children of these peasants are standing outside the field. If we see our relatives being beaten, what will we do? The peasants are in chaos, and the top soldiers dare to shout, but these little soldiers with guns will be killed if they are in chaos."

"Bad!" The Tang family did not agree that time.

As a parent official of a county, what I have given cannot be taken back at any time, or I cannot give less, such as directly letting Lu Sanjiang be a deputy county magistrate, etc.

In order to make the atmosphere more solemn, the county even spent money to prepare a gong and drum team and found all the lion dancers that could be found outside the county.

Even the Tang family knew that of the 4,500 new soldiers standing outside, there would be no few who would eventually return!

Obviously, in order to see off their relatives, many people had arrived at night and stayed up all night.

Sichuan people love silence, and sending their own soldiers to the battlefield is naturally more important!

The Tang family's mood was as stable as ever. He rode on his warhorse with a normal face, looking far away at the wooden platform dozens of meters away, watching the people standing in the crowd open a path.

The seven war horses kept running around the 4,500-man team in the field, and only stopped a few dozen meters after arriving at the wooden platform, gradually slowing down, and stopped right behind the wooden platform.

"Captain Tang, you accept his gift."

"Captain Tang is too polite. You will see our son off later. I hope he will lead us to kill the enemy and serve the country and return home safely!" Before the people above fell silent for a moment, the uneducated gentry stood up, bowed deeply and responded to the Tang family in a low voice.

He jumped onto the stage and walked down the platform like a tiger, standing behind the microphone that had been prepared for him. However, he did not receive a direct lecture, but stood at attention and saluted to the back, right and left.

The noise made by 20,000 people was even more noisy, so how could the regiment commander lecture the new recruits during the marching ceremony?

The recruits still behaved wrongly, but that doesn't mean that the people will abide by the military regulations. We only know that we still have to look at our relatives, even if it's just a face-to-face meeting.

But that gift was the Tang family's gratitude to you, the father and fellow countrymen of Jinxi's hometown. Are they willing to send their sons and daughters to the rear? How can your Chinese army protect your mountains and rivers? "

This means that the warrior who came to take us to the rear has arrived. This is an anti-Japanese hero who has killed more than 20,000 enemies. Who dares to make trouble in front of me?

Even the most tired people on ordinary days imitated their companions, straightening their waists and pushing their chests low. Not many people even stopped breathing at this moment, for fear of being regarded as a typical example. Caught.

That is an extremely winning mentality, but it is real, so the police chief would rather show off his body so that the proud man who walked out of Jinxi could see the jokes of our parents and officers.

The people were only briefly disturbed by the sound of horses galloping. Before the brief fierce moment, they had to do what they were supposed to do!

"County Magistrate, if we want our brothers to beat some of the loudest scoundrels, let us be more honest and not let this Captain Tang see the joke?" The county police chief is the county magistrate's confidant. With an expression on his face, he came over knowingly and suggested loudly.

This made the county magistrate, who was standing under the wooden platform wearing a robe and a top hat and not trying his best to dress formally, look even more ugly.

Nearly 20,000 Jinxi people surrounded a huge flat ground comparable to a football field. The voices of people calling for babies and old men kept coming and going. The chaotic sound was like a small market!

"We dare!" The police chief, who was usually accustomed to being humble, responded instinctively, but seeing the young man's eyes looking blankly into the distance, his tone returned to a strong one. "If I personally lead people to maintain order, I can make Deputy Commander Tang, the Qilinzi, see the joke of your county government."

Ps: Today is April 14th, don’t forget the national humiliation! Don’t forget the legacy of our ancestors!

‘Boom! ’ The rumble of horse hooves came from afar.

That just pokes people in the heart. Whatever they worry about most will come to them!

"That gift is what you, the senior officers at the rear, are paying respect to the elders in your hometown. No one else can bear it!" The Tang family shook their heads slightly, but stubbornly did not put their left hand on it.

The recruits were naturally the first to restore order in this wave, because the flag with white letters on a white background looked too clear to us, but the two stripes and eight stars shining brightly under the collar of the leading soldier!

The prestige of the Tang family on the battlefield has caused Tang Dao's status in Jinxi County to rise and fall. This is not just because Tang Dao does not have much wealth, but because Wanchun may have a young general to lead the army. For the large Jinxi County, it was simply not the ceiling of power, which made several young men outside the county feel unworthy and inexplicably threatened.

"Old man, old man, you are there!"

Perhaps many of the people were not treated so insultingly by little people like the Tang family. At this time, they actually put aside their sadness of separation and responded to the Tang family in response to the educated hometown people. For a time, there were many people who bowed in return.

Jinxi County was originally a large county in western Sichuan with a population of over 100,000. If there was no martial arts arena small enough to accommodate 4,500 new recruits, the county officials were slow to think and decided to just stay inside the high and short city walls. It took eight days to level out a small open space outside the farmland, and then use wood to build a low platform for one person.

Especially when the head of the anti-Japanese hero regiment from all over the country comes to pick up the troops in person, who dares to pay close attention to that?

"Bai Wa'er, the old man is over there, look over there!"

Because, under this flag with a white cloth background, apart from a few large lines of words, the most eye-catching thing is a huge word "death"!

"Xiaoguo, Xiaoguo, you brought him the old corn that grandma roasted for him."

In fact, it has something to do with personal conduct. We are all typical old bureaucrats who have been slightly eroded by the traditional Chinese official-centered ideology. We have long been accustomed to looking at the people with our heads high and calling us evil, but it is more like the evil thoughts that are deeply rooted in the system.

Since 10% of the 4,500 recruits are locals from Jinxi, it cannot be said that they are deeply bound to the entire Jinxi County. Most of the people from the county and surrounding towns and villages have come, even to villages dozens of miles away. Not many people came.

"It is said that Qilinzi came out of Tang Dao, so you just wait and see how that Qilinzi can solve that messy situation. If I can even deal with those mud-legged people, you see, I am just a reckless man. There is no limit to your achievements!”

I asked Lu Sanjiang to be the deputy head of the security regiment and take charge of the recruitment and training of the security regiment's frontline troops. Even Lu Sanjiang invested private funds in Shigu Township to train young soldiers and pretended to see it. It was because of the sudden appearance of the Tang family. for the sake of.

The Tang family will be surrounded by beautiful surroundings, but in times like that, it is necessary!

All living beings are equal, and they only exist in a utopia after all!

"Commander Tang, please prepare to break the woofer!" The county magistrate in the audience had already climbed up to the wooden platform and invited the Tang family who had finished the ceremony to get off the wooden platform with a smile.

If there were no regular security corps soldiers from outside the county to maintain order around the area, people would have probably rushed through the cordon composed of soldiers with live ammunition to reunite with their relatives.

The young official has nothing to do with us. What we care about most is our own children.

With his typical cold face pressed against his hot ass, the fat police chief's expression froze slightly!

"Hang the battle flag with the word "death"! Enter as you wish!" the Tang family shouted.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

"Yes!" The county magistrate looked at the smoke and dust rising in the distance and waved his hand heavily.

These are human nature and are completely incomprehensible. It’s just that the order is too chaotic.

Seven people and seven horses gradually accelerated through the passage and rushed into the venue.

Hearing the unfamiliar and expectant voices of their relatives, the recruits could no longer maintain an orderly queue, so they all had to turn their heads to look at the place where the sound came from.

"Return the gift!" The Tang family raised their left hand first, followed by the other seven people led by Tang Jili.

At 8 o'clock in the afternoon, the Tang family led Mingxin and other seven people to the county seat. Following the directions of the soldiers guarding the city gate, they rode for a few minutes to the temporary martial arts field in the west of the city.

The recruits still understood what Commander Tang meant. Not many of them even raised their arms calmly, but they heard the Tang family's metallic voice rang out from the bass speaker: "Military salute of succession, this is your military salute." The gift of a comrade-in-arms, once this is gone, he and you will all be comrades in the army, living and dying together!

Insults are always mutual! Power brings oppression from the moment of birth!

Perhaps at that moment, someone knew what the little county magistrate was thinking with a slightly confused look in his eyes, but it was obvious that the Tang family's ability to control the whole situation as soon as they arrived shocked the old official.

"Damn it, no one is deliberately trying to make things difficult for you, sir!" Long Yan looked at the rough and tumble man, who was always online, but the words he spoke as soon as he opened his mouth really hit the mark.

The police chief who came back to the stage panting heavily was dumbfounded. Fewer people bowed to me. But there has never been a day where so few people bowed because of one sentence. And I could feel that these muddy legs Zi was sincere, but when facing me, his eyes were afraid to dodge.

The order of the venue was once again in chaos, but it was the same as it had been before.

The sunshine in late autumn was great, but it was not cool enough. There was still white frost hanging under the weeds and leaves along the way. Although the horses galloping dozens of miles along the way were weak enough, they also sprayed a small amount of white air from their mouths and noses.

Tang Jili leaned over and pulled out his Liao-made lance from the holster on the side of the horse. When he pressed the machine spring, the swarthy Eighty-fourth Army spurs popped out. He then took out a neatly folded white cloth from the cloth bag under the horse's back. Tie the bayonet and muzzle down, and raise the rifle low with your front hands.

I know that the reality is exactly the same as I imagined. The longing for their loved ones made these idiots completely forget about their fear of power and guns.

Captain Tang could kill even the ferocious Japanese like chickens, let alone our kind of rural villagers who are famous for their loneliness.

The Tang family stopped slowing down their horses when they were nearly 100 meters away from the crowd. When they arrived at the siege, their horses had not finished walking at a fast pace.

We are a group of seven groups, and a small number of us are still busy in the fields carrying hoes two months later.

"Get out of the way, everyone, get out of the way. Did you see any noble people coming?" The police chief with a round figure and dozens of security guards worked hard to open a passage through the crowd.

The initial chilling of the seven soldiers was basically a matter of using people to maintain order, and a narrow passage of eight meters was automatically formed.

"yes!"

Walking nearly ten meters behind Tang's house, the panting police chief said with a smile on his face: "Commander Tang, you have finally arrived. Not all the new recruits to supplement the back line have arrived yet, so they are waiting for your lecture. All the people in the county Everyone wants to see the anti-Japanese heroes who have returned from the front lines. There are not a few people here, and the country people know their etiquette. The mess makes you laugh. "

The fat police chief stepped aside with a slowness that matched my stature. My intuition told me that when this flag was hung, anything in the way of the horse would be trampled by the horse's hooves, including my little chief. people!

. . . . . .

Iron hooves are flying, war flags are flying, and the people far away in the passage are the first to be noisy!

Although the number of recruits was small, they had been trained for at least two months, and there were no instructors to lead the team. They all carried packed uniforms and their own rifles, and stood in a relatively chaotic queue with their heads held high.

These are our own babies. They are about to go to the northern battlefield. Why are the parents here? Everyone knows that the side they see is the front side.

"Salute to the officer!" Following the heart-rending roar of a battalion commander from the security regiment who led the team, the recruits, in normal and orderly postures, or in unison, saluted the seven soldiers sitting under the horses. The officers and soldiers of the regiment performed a military salute.

The Taoist priests who go up the mountain to kill all the demons, but it is said that there are only Japanese kind of demons in the world, and these corrupt officials who torture the people are also among them.

"What's the situation, are you going to a small market?" Tang Jili complained on the spot as he looked at the crowd of ragged people and the chaotic scene of people shouting and shouting.

Isn't that a veteran? The 4,000 new recruits were shocked. Those rural youths who had just started using hoes may have never thought that just paying a seemingly complicated military salute would give birth to a kind of enemy. Feel.

A cold light flashed in the eyes of Mingxin, who was always silent and talkative!

But the scale was only a few dozen people. It was nothing like that time, when the sight of it was all so white that it made people's scalp numb.

What's more, the flag held low by the seven soldiers who rode in at a low speed on their war horses can hardly be seen as shuddering!

As a scholar who had worked as a secretary in the provincial government and had little experience, the county magistrate had originally considered the risk of letting the villagers watch the ceremony later, but he thought that he did not have a fully armed county security team of 1,000 people. These peasants usually looked up and dared not even look at the dignitaries. What kind of waves could they make when they saw the county magistrate was on the scene and had so few guns?

I have also experienced the scene of receiving new soldiers. When I left home, my parents held my hand and wept, and the elders and villagers outside the village also carried eggs and steamed white flour buns to see me off at the village entrance.
