Chapter 188 Military and Legal Affairs
In the early morning of May 27, a train of the Huainan Coal Mine Railway drove from south to north. The sky was gloomy and seemed to be ominous. On both sides of the Huainan Railway, blue, yellow and red tricolor flags and banners to celebrate the restoration of Anhui could be seen everywhere. In the past two days and nights, more than a dozen Huangpu schools such as Anhui Wanjiang School were excluded. In addition to the army and the local party uprising, the backbone force is still the Guangfu Army composed of nearly 30,000 coal mines and construction workers in Huainan.
In just two nights and one day, nearly 100,000 troops not only swept the cities on both sides of the railway along the railway, but also used coal and cement ships to take advantage of water conservancy to restore Fuyang to the north, Bengbu, Huaibei and Xuzhou and other places in northern Jiangsu. In the face of the face of the Guangfu army, the Qing army forced the Qing army to surrender one after another. Anhui and Jiangsu have become the only provinces of restoration among the six provinces of restoration.
The train carriage shook gently, the sonorous sound of the wheels made people sleepy, and the yellow light of the lights shone on the half of the seat. Most of the soldiers in the carriage curled up in the stuffed tanker. They listened to the jingle of the different tones of the wheels of the train: you know, every time the wheels turn, the locomotive rushes forward. Next - it's a little closer to leaving the front line.
They clearly knew that the place they were going to go was the front line. Either they went to the north or they prevented the Qing army from going south before the Huaihe River. For the officers and soldiers of the first regiment of the first division, they were just waiting in the carriage, waiting for the upcoming battle, thinking of the blood on the battlefield, among which Some soldiers only felt a heat all over their bodies.
In Jiangning, when they stabbed the bayonet into the bodies of the Qing army, it was an unprecedented vent. When they saw the blood, many of them even carried a kind of ecstasy.
You can kill people again!
Many soldiers thought so in their hearts that their expressions were calm and there was no difference. In their countless trainings, only one thing was engraved into his bones, and that was blood!
With a long air flute, the train stopped at Huainan Station. This is not the end of the Huainan Road Mine Railway. The end point is Hekou Station, which is a coal-loading station.
"Long live the restoration of the army!"
"Welcome to the restoration of the army!"
... As soon as the car entered the station, the people crowded with platforms began to cheer. These people were mostly the families of miners. Their families were also in the restoration army. No one was more eager for victory than them. The reason why she welcomed these restoration troops from the south was more or less selfish. They came. Naturally, their families may not have to go to the front line.
"Beep..."
When the whistle sounded, the train carriage opened, and the soldiers with live ammunition jumped out of the carriage one after another. Without the roar of the officers, they spontaneously lined up. Their training was far from comparable to those temporarily armed coal mines and construction workers.
With the sound of the command, the soldiers of the brigade turned around and walked out of the station with their boots. The people on the roadside looked at the army and seemed to really see the hope of restoration. Some foreign missionaries, staff in the mine and newspaper reporters took pictures of this precious scene with their cameras.
Suddenly, as the soldiers stepped towards the dock on the Huai River in the middle of the welcome, the soldiers waved their fists and shouted.
"If you don't triumph, you will die!"
A thunderous roar sounded on the asphalt road of Huainan Coal Mine. The wind and clouds were shocked, and people were stunned. The people who had sent them off looked at them and shouted, "If you don't triumph, you will die!" Suddenly, some people knelt down, and then everyone on the roadside knelt down.
Kneel down and send these Guangfu officers and soldiers who roared "No triumph, swear to die". No matter what kind of selfishness they had before, the oath of these soldiers was stunned at this time.
It's not difficult for them. Even the foreign employees and missionaries in the coal mines around them changed their eyes when they looked at the army of only a few thousand people. When the officers and soldiers passed in front of them with the sound of their boots, they bowed to the officers and soldiers one after another. For them, this was the first time from the heart. Bow to the middle [***] people.
When the roar of "Don't triumph, swear to die" echoed in Huainan City, a tall officer appeared on the riverside of the south bank of Huainan. He was wearing a new military uniform, and the copper buckle on the military uniform flashed with sunshine. And along the Huaihe River, a group of people were waving shovels or hammers to lamming wooden stakes, and several unfinished barbed wire fences stretched out on the bank of the Huai River.
Most of the construction are the company's workers and two yuan a month recruited from all over the river. Under the command of engineers and officers, they are building fortifications along the river, and the embankment is scattered with cannons and machine gun forts.
"It's just a psychological effect!"
Li Feiyang, who patrolled the fortifications along the river embankment, shook his head and sighed. The headquarters allocated only hundreds of thousands of yuan fortifications along the river. What is this money enough for?
Not to mention building a "Great Wall of the Huaihe River" along the Huaihe River, it is not realistic to build a fortification along the Huainan River. The money is too small. As the director of the engineering department of the headquarters, the only thing he can do is to spend all the money on Huainan. There is no coal needed in Ma'anshan and Shanghai. There is no steel, no electricity, and no two, which is equivalent to no weapons.
If the factories in Ma'anshan and Shanghai can't produce weapons, is it still possible to win the Restoration War? Obviously, nothing is possible!
Looking at the fleet along the east of the river, the ship was full of Guangfu officers and soldiers. Li Feiyang knew that these were elites from Ma'anshan... The officers and soldiers of the First Regiment of the First Division of the Guangfu Army were troops that went north to control the enemy.
"I hope you can resist the enemy in Henan!"
At this time, Li Feiyang could only put all his hopes on the elite of the Guangfu army in the north. Suddenly, there was a roar in the air. Looking up at the air, he saw more than a dozen "Optimus Sky" planes in the air flying north. The appearance of the plane only made Li Feiyang's eyes open. Why... The plane is also in the north.
In the north of Huai River, in the fields outside Fuyang City, there is a hot scenery. A group of soldiers and people in green military uniforms are struggling to consolidate the land in the field with big stones. No one knows why they want to consolidate this land. For the soldiers, they just obey orders, while the people are for a dime a day. The reward of yuan.
And not far away, a group of soldiers are surrounding a barracks with wooden bamboos, and thousands of tents are neatly supported in the camp also built in the field. In the open space, the soldiers running in rows are compacting the land with their own feet. But in the neat footsteps, there was a discordant scream.
On the side of the camp, nearly 400 soldiers pressed 186 soldiers, and 186 soldiers were waving military sticks and following the command of the non-commissioned officers. The impact of the buttocks and the military sticks was "pop" and accompanied by the tragic howling of the officers and soldiers. Not only soldiers, but also sergeants and officers were executed.
The only difference is that some of the officers howled, while some officers and sergeants gritted their teeth and hummed. Such a spectacular execution attracted some people to watch on the periphery of the camp, and some people couldn't bear to look up at this " Spectacular" scene.
Finally, after the sergeant roared "Thirty", more than a dozen sergeants bent down to check the buttocks of the officers and soldiers one by one. If one was selfish, both the prisoner and the executioner had to be doubled. After the inspection, a sergeant ran into the distance.
Yu Wenyuan, with a pale face, listened to the howling of his subordinates and looked up at the division commander standing there with a saber in his hand.
"Sir, this kind of running on the ground is inhumane, but just a little complaint. Since it is thirty military sticks, the military discipline is too strict!"
Tang Zaili raised his eyes and looked at the faucet of the former "Shouzhou Detang" and just meditated.
"You are suspicious of my military order!"
"I dare not under the mark!"
Yu Wenyuan replied coldly.
"The military also knows the favor,..."
"Only military law is recognized in the Guangfu Army!"
"The officer is so harsh, aren't you afraid of the soldiers complaining? The officer is annoyed!"
Yu Wenyuan, who was waving his face, had no scruples when he arrived. In his opinion, this teacher was just holding a chicken feather as an arrow to kill the chicken to show the monkey.
With a sneer, Tang Zaili forced Yu Wenyuan in front of him, and the more than a dozen battalion commanders behind him, like him, were all from the party.
"Speak out complaints and anger the officials!"
With a double stare, Tang Zaili stared at Yu Wenyuan in front of him and shouted harshly. The shouting only made Yu Wenyuan's hearts tremble behind him and become a little overwhelmed.
"I dare not. Although I have not joined the army, I am also an officer. I need to love soldiers like a son. How can I only recognize military law like an adult..."
Before he finished speaking, Tang Zaili drank.
"This is called the construction of the army, and the offender will be beheaded! You think I dare not kill you! Military police!"
This deep shout shocked Yu Wenyuan, who was originally awe-inspiring. When several gendarmes with submachine guns on their shoulders came out from behind the division commander, Yu Wenyuan hurriedly shouted out.
"The surname is Zhang, you are killing the donkey, brothers, you have seen it..."
Before the roar was finished, a gendarme came out, raised a submachine gun and drew a butt of a butt at his chin, and the shout suddenly became hoarse. But even so, his shouting still made the battalion commanders look at each other in front of each other, which also attracted the attention of the soldiers around him.
Looking at Yu Wenyuan, who was knocked unconscious, these officers couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy. They gritted their teeth and bowed at the same time.
"Please remember the battalion commander's righteous deeds and spare the battalion commander's life!"
Staring at these pluting officers and soldiers, Tang Zaili sneered and then nodded.
"Good, very good!"
Tang Zaili sneered but spit out a trembling word.
"You all know that the military law of the Guangfu Army is strict, and the crowd is forced to fight against the army and kill it!"
His cold hum made the bowing officers sweat behind their backs. Before they could say anything, more than a dozen gendarmes pointed at them with submachine guns. At the same time, the machine guns on the barracks sentry were aimed at the barracks.
More than ten minutes later, more than 16,000 officers and soldiers were gathering in the open space. The machine gun on the sentry of the battalion wall aimed at the officers and soldiers in the battalion through the reed wall. The officers and soldiers of the gendarmerie camp stood at the four corners of the barracks with submachine guns and bayonet rifles.
"Hur, will you kill them all..."
Zhang Huitao looked at the 19 people. Seventy of them were their disciples and grandchildren in this barracks. Although on the day of the uprising, they had already ordered "no party in the army", and they had nothing to do with it since they entered the Guangfu army, but that was just said, in case... "Lion leader Zhang, the military law is ruthless!"
Tang said in his mouth, walking towards the stage in his military uniform.
"Regone!"
With a military order, the soldiers under the stage stood upright at the same time without any hesitation. In this army, except for the light recovery army of two companies and one company, 30% were workers in the Huainan coal mine, and the other 70% were from the party. At this time, these soldiers were shocked to see the leader and hall owner who were pressed on the stage.
"Yu Wenyuan, against the military order, according to the military law - the death penalty..."
One death sentence after another only stunned these soldiers. Some of them looked at them on the stage, with their arms buckled back, and couldn't speak. Obviously, something was stuffed in their mouths.
"All your brothers are all Guangfu officers and soldiers. From wearing this military uniform, they are no longer disciples of the hall, all sentient beings, and the Qing Gang. In the Guangfu army, they only recognize military orders and military laws, and they are absolutely unsmerciless! Today, the officers and soldiers of the sixth company of the 2nd Battalion of the 13th Regiment were punished, and the sergeants and officers were all punished! If you violate the ban, you will be responsible for it. Tang Zaili, 50 military sticks according to the military law!"
As soon as the voice fell, Tang Zaili's hands and legs were on the ground, and a sergeant behind him waved a military stick at his buttocks. [***] The easy muffled sound only widened the officers and soldiers in the camp. He didn't expect that the division commander would be tortured first. The crackle of the stick to meat sounded in the ears of the public. The people who were originally struggling Instead, he didn't struggle. He just stood there with his head down and let the gendarmes behind him buckle back.
After the execution, Tang Zaili, who was full of sweat, struggled to stand up without humming. "These 19 people are all disobeying the military order and forcing the officers, and they all need military law!"
Then he walked to the 19 people with difficulty, looked at their expression, and motioned to the gendarmes behind them to take out the wooden ball in their mouths.
"Now, what else do you have to say!"
"I have something to say!"
The one who shouted out was Cao Da, the helmsman of the pier of the Qing Gang and the commander of the Ninth Battalion.
"Tay!"
After his arm was released, Cao Da just took the lead in a military salute and looked at the bloody division commander on the military trousers. If he was still unconvinced before, he would be convinced.
"Cao Da followed his brothers to destroy our military discipline, and the crime is not pardoned! Cao Da admitted it!"
After saying that, Cao Da said with awe-inspiring face.
"Master, please tell my parents that Cao Dafei died in military law, but in the battlefield! Cao Dadang is very grateful.
Tang Li saw it in his eyes and skimmed the soldiers under the eye with the afterglow.
"It's a man! I will explain to your parents, but your death is inevitable!"
Looking at the faces of several closest brothers under the stage with sadness on their faces, the others lowered their heads slightly. This scene only made Xu Wenyuan smile bitterly. In the past, in the gang, they were all bitter, but now the big guys are paid nine yuan a month. It used to be just the recovery of Shouzhou, and everyone received a month's recovery. . What is more attractive than heavy silver? Even if there are a few loyal people rush up for the word righteousness... sigh in their hearts.
"Your officer!"
Xu Wenyuan, who knew that he would die, shouted.
"What do you have to say!"
"Wen Yuan did not follow the military law, which caused 18 brothers to follow Wen Yuan's execution. Wen Yuan's heart was guilty,"
With that, he roared again.
"Brothers, that is, when you join the army, when you know the military order, I Xu Wenyuan is a lesson. I don't hate the strict military law, but I only hate that I can't cut the captives. If brothers say that he will go to the battlefield, kill two tars for Wenyuan, and ask Yuanquan to thank you!"
Tang Li nodded.
"Of course! Is there anything else to say?"
Everyone shook their heads, and Tang Li let people come over with a stack of bowls, and everyone poured a bowl of wine.
"Brothers, kill the tars and restore the big man!"
After drinking, everyone threw a bowl and roared loudly. When his voice fell, the gendarmerie standing behind the 19 people raised their pistols and pulled the trigger at the back of these people's heads, and the gunfire echoed over the barracks!
Looking at the bodies on the ground, Tang Li did not salute, but looked at the more or less difficult soldiers under the stage.
"The officers and soldiers of the Sixth Division!"
A roar, accompanied by a neat standing sound.
"Today, Xu Wenyuan and Cao Da, a group of 19 people, were ambushed here for violating the military law! Please take it as a warning. As a soldier of the restoration army, you must follow the military law! Otherwise, the military law will never be tolerated!"
Sometimes, the deterrence of the military stick is far less fearful than that of the head. Although many people have some sadness on their faces when the body is carried into the carriage, when the officers blow the whistle, they immediately plunge into the previous training. This scene seems to have no impact on them, but it has been imprinted in their hearts.
"Master, how do you know they won't..."
"There will be no chaos?"
Tang Licai looked at Zhang Huitao with a smile, and his regiment leader was still too young.
"You are from Shouzhou. Tell me, how much money can they earn a month like those party in the past?"
"Up to two or three taels of silver!"
"What about now?"
"The recovery allowance is nine yuan, and the field allowance is three yuan per month!"
"Military pay of 12 yuan a month! 300 yuan pension for the war dead! After the restoration of the country, there are another 30 mu of Xuntian. Meng Jie, how many people do you think are willing to die for those leaders, helmsmen and hall masters!"
The pain on his buttocks made Tang Licai's smile look a little strange. He grinned and his teeth and took a breath.
"The soldiers worry about nothing more than injustice in the army, but the division commander was punished in the front, fifty military sticks, and blood after the punishment, which makes those individuals see fairness. On the one hand, it is generous and fair, on the other hand... You know more about the affairs of the party, don't you?"
Tang Licai, who had difficult steps, did not let people help him, but continued to stand on the training ground and look at the solid soldiers in the camp. The queue has disappeared from the previous mess.
"This sixth division has become the sixth division of the Guangfu Army after all!"
When he was happy, there was a roar above his head. Seeing the faintly visible plane, Tang Li knew that he didn't have much time to train the soldiers. As soon as the plane arrived, the plane would go out to search for the enemy. At that time, I'm afraid that the Sixth Division would go to the battlefield.
