Looking at Zhao Dongyun riding away from Wang Shizhen, he sighed lightly. "There was a good junior in Hefei!"
Chapter 19 Diversion of Zhaozhou
As early as Zhao Dongyun led the troops, Yongsheng, the company commander of Daming Town, Zhao E, the magistrate of Guangzong County, Shunde Prefecture, and Dong Lugao, the company commander of Zhengding Town, had already sent training troops to forcibly attack Dongzhao Village, Guangzong County, that is, Jingtingbin Camp.
On March 3, a large number of Qing troops trained to attack Dongzhao Village, which officially lifted Guangzong’s rebellious military confrontation! Jing Tingbin did not fight back, but immediately fled with the backbone troops after a genial smile. On the surface, the Qing army won a great victory, but in reality it failed to encircle Jing Tingbin. Instead, he escaped. From the perspective of suppressing rebellion, this campaign was a complete failure. Thousands of soldiers were surrounded by bandits, but hundreds of them were able to escape most of them. This shows how bad the combat effectiveness of the soldiers was in the late Qing Dynasty.
After escaping, Jing Tingbin was naturally unwilling to fail. Soon, he called on people from all walks of life, including not only the local ruffians and hooligans of the Lianzhuang Association, but also the so-called Jianghu escorts and martial artists, and even more, the big brothers of the Boxer Rebellion!
With thousands of troops, Jing Tingbin led the rebel army and the Qing court training army to fight each other for several rounds. Although it was a small-scale battle, the local training army actually suffered many losses and killed more than 100 people before and after.
At this time, it finally attracted Yuan Shikai’s attention!
Yuan Shikai naturally knows that those who practice the army are not allowed to bully the unarmed people, but it is really too much for them to quell the bandits’ riots.
Yuan Shikai immediately transferred the new army south to prepare the new army to completely destroy Jing Tingbin, so that Zhao Dongyun had the opportunity to lead his troops south.
On the evening of March 12th, a group of people appeared in Shijiazhuang, a small mountain villa in Huolu County, Zhili. It was a group of people who were dressed in blue-gray army and carrying new-style fast-robbing soldiers. The first few officers were all riding high horses and hanging western-style command knives, but they didn’t shout and urge the soldiers to move forward.
When you walk in, you will find that these soldiers are very different from the ordinary Qing army. You can’t see that the Qing army often wears styles and dresses, and the marching queues are all like the soldiers of the Allied Forces in the Geng Dynasty. I don’t know if the Qing people will still recognize them as Japanese troops or French Vietnamese colonial troops. Of course, it is more likely that they will be mistaken for the British Huayong Camp or the Hong Kong Legion.
If people can mistake the Qing army for the foreign team, there will be Yuan Shikai’s Beiyang New Army.
At present, this one is the newly-built machine gun battalion of the second battalion of Beiyang New Army-Wuwei Right Army, led by Zhao Dongyun. First, they took the train from Baoding to the south, but now the Jinghan Railway has not been completely completed and opened to traffic. So they were forced to drive when they could ride for more than ten miles in the north of Shijiazhuang, but they continued to the south by walking.
In the army, Zhao Dongyun still rode his white horse with a big head and a striking waist and a western-style command knife. He looked up at the sky and said to Li Zejun beside him, "Let’s camp here tonight!"
"The Ministry is in charge!" After Li Zejun was ordered, he arranged for the camp directly.
Zhao Dongyun nodded. Previously, he was dissatisfied with Li Zejun. The man only got the position of deputy through the back door. In the first few months, Zhao Dongyun was also not very worried about him. Many things were not given to him. However, since he led the army south, he needed to manage more than 2,000 people. It is impossible to grasp everything in the second camp as usual. It is also necessary to let Li Zejun handle the camp.
But to his surprise, although Li Zejun is young and has little experience before, he is handy in handling the camp, especially the logistics office, which makes Zhao Dongyun unable to make mistakes. This also makes Zhao Dongyun change his mind and feel that this person is younger but still capable.
In this way, he also handed over more battalions to him to deal with, so as to liberate himself from those messy camps and note that the counter-insurgency is coming.
In 1992, Shijiazhuang was a small village, thanks to the Jinghan Railway, which ushered in the opportunity to develop the city. Now Shijiazhuang is building a large-scale project, not only building a railway, but also building a train. This train is not called Shijiazhuang, but Zhentou, because at this time Shijiazhuang is an unknown small village, so people are not far away from Zhentou Town.
At present, Shijiazhuang is still a construction site owner, and now nearly 2,000 soldiers are pouring in. One is to make this place lively, and there are soldiers wearing military clothes everywhere.
In a farmhouse in Shijiazhuang, Zhao Dong Yunhe, Lin Yong, Li Zejun and others together, Li Zejun said, "This place is a little partial for a while, and I can’t find any courtyard that can wronged adults to live here tonight!"
Zhao Dongyun waved his hand. "If I want to live well and eat well outside the March, I won’t March and fight!"
However, after saying this, Zhao Dong Yun added, "But the places where brothers sleep at night should be arranged. I don’t want to see brothers sleeping in the street when I get up!"
Zhao Dongyun is not a private archduke, and he doesn’t think that letting his soldiers sleep on the street can help him gain any popular support. To tell the truth, he doesn’t care much about popular support, but he is a morale.
Li Zejun said, "Adults worry too much. We have arranged for people to live in people’s homes, but this place is too small to accommodate too many people. Most of them still have to live in tents!"
Zhao Dongyun nodded and said, "Well, we should also warn our brothers not to disturb the people. If they disturb the people, they must be engaged in military law!"
This time, Li Zejun didn’t have a mouth yet. Next to Lin Yong, he said, "Brothers all know the seriousness of the matter. Besides, we are a new army, not a training army. Those guys won’t be stupid!"
Zhao Dongyun didn’t pick him up, but continued, "Just now, someone came to Shunde House and said that since the Guangzong uprising, there have been many states and counties such as Nanhe, Pingxiang, Julu and wei county, and there have been signs of Lian Zhuang and boxing bandits in succession, and the potential of Zhongnanhe County is not much smaller than that of Guangzong County. The Lian Zhuang of Nanhe County will be Hu Jingfang, together with the demon monk Cijing, and a group of boxing bandits’ remnants camp to imitate Guangzong’s rebellion. This time, I’m afraid we will finally face more than hundreds of bewitched townships.
When I heard Zhao Dongyun say this, the people next to me all looked gloomy. Li Zejun said, "I didn’t expect these gangsters to develop so fast. It’s less than half a month before and after. They estimate that there are thousands of them. If they are allowed to make noise again, they will be able to develop to 50,000 people in a few months!"
Lin Yong also said, "If it were ordinary gangsters, they wouldn’t send us!"
Li Zejun said, "By what means can those boxers bewitch thousands of villagers in such a short time?"
Lin Yongdao said, "You don’t know that two years ago, those boxing bandits killed several boxing bandits in Shandong, but now they are just pulling up thousands of people."
Zhao Dongyun didn’t listen to their conversation, but his heart was already meditating on what he should do next. This time, the most important thing for Nan himself was to pacify Guangzong uprising, but he was not the only one who handled it in the south. Besides, Dong Lvgao, the company commander of Daming Town, Yongsheng, Zhengding Town, and the self-strengthening army and the vanguard of Shandong Wuwei Right Army also mobilized to send people to join in the rebellion.
In the face of a small rebellion, so many troops in Beiyang Military System will be dispatched? And one by one are also more active than here. I’m afraid the biggest reason is that they all want to borrow this rebellion to get into the ranks like Zhao Dongyun.
After all, Zhao Dongyun is not the only one who knows that putting down this rebellion is a small risk and a big gain. A group of people want to make contributions!
Whether this rebellion can be put down is not the question, but how to get enough credit from this rebellion!
"By the way, where is the general manager now?" Zhao Dongyun’s general manager means that Duan Qirui is now also the general manager of all schools of Wuwei Right Army because of Duan Qirui.
Li Zejun said, "Now the general office has arrived in Zhengding, and it is expected that it will be in South Shunde in a few days!"
Zhao Dong said, "When this happens, there will not only be thousands of commanders in Zhengding and Daming in Shunde, but also the general manager who will personally lead the new army!"
"According to these forces, it is estimated that the rebels are also advancing in the west. In this case, we are not in a hurry to change the south route in South Shunde!"
Suddenly I heard Zhao Dongyun say that he also changed the marching route. Li Zejun wondered, "Don’t go to Shunde? Then which way shall we go south? "
Zhao Dong says, "We bypass Shunde’s mansion and directly turn to the southeast. After passing through Zhaozhou and Ningjin, we directly insert the giant deer to suppress the mob in the south of the giant deer. At the same time, we will send another one around Nangong County, Yizhou to prevent the bandits from fleeing eastward! After the army arrives at Julu, it will continue to wipe out Guangzong gangsters in one fell swoop! "
Zhao Dongyun’s intention to fight is real and the military will win no matter how he fights this counterinsurgency. The key is how to win to bring him the greatest benefit.
And Zhao Dongyun’s plan is obviously to put aside a group of people in Shunde House and then lead his own army to counter the rebellion!
Lin Yong and Li Zejun are not idiots. You can hear the meaning in Zhao Dongyun’s words, that is, you want to take sole responsibility.
They belong to Zhao Dongyun, which means that they have made contributions. Naturally, they hope to monopolize the credit for the counter-insurgency, but they are also worried.
"If we do this, will Shunde House blame us?" Lin Yong face worried way
Zhao Dongyun didn’t care. "Now there is a training army in Shunde. Do you want us to cooperate with the training army to fight? Besides, he didn’t say that we must go through Shunde South when we came. I was ordered to go south, but they didn’t say!"
In the face of Zhao Dongyun’s words, both Lin Yong and Li Zejun already know that Zhao Dongyun has made up his mind to want to monopolize the military regardless of the faces of many colleagues, but they are speaking out against it, because for them, even if they blame it, they will blame Zhao Dongyun first. The sky is falling, and there are tall people staring at Zhao Dongyun, so they will be fine.
