Chapter 43: Seizing the Camp (Part 2)

Fang Jianxiong said it nicely, but it was actually a naked threat. If what happened today cannot satisfy Fang Jianxiong, everyone will break up! There will be consequences at your own risk!

At first, the provincial patrol battalions appeared as a supplementary form of the New Army, equivalent to the later security regiments. The hard-pressed officials from various places in the Qing government soon discovered that the New Army was really unreliable and had frequent accidents. At that time, the provincial governors

Few of the children who were recommended to study abroad were oriented toward the imperial court when they came back. This new army needed to be used and defended, so the role of patrol battalions was increased. Governors of various provinces requested to train more patrol battalions. According to 1911

According to statistics from the "China Yearbook", the number of patrol battalions nationwide is 276,981.

Sun Baoqi, the teacher whom Fang Jianxiong vaguely recognized, was also a guy who extremely distrusted the New Army. When he was the governor of Shandong, he petitioned to increase the training of twenty patrol battalions.

All in all, the Qing army in this era was very disorganized. Before the Revolution of 1911, there were still 220,000 Eight Banners soldiers and 130,000 Green Battalion soldiers. They were all rubbish soldiers that could collapse at a stroke.

Fang Jianxiong was interested in the establishment of the two patrol battalions and had no intention of taking over the other battalions. That's why he delayed taking up the post because he wanted to wait for an opportunity. Unexpectedly, the opportunity came so quickly. Wen Song and Zhu

Mingtang, these two idiots, wanted to make some money to celebrate the New Year and staged a mutiny. As the chief instructor of the New Army Training Team and the commander of the Wuhu Patrol Battalion, such a freak was entirely thanks to Feng Xu. But this freak

Identity is just right in dealing with this issue.

Fang Jianxiong had no ill feelings toward Zhu Xiufeng, and even had a good impression of him. The reason was that one hundred acres of wasteland was almost a gift, even though it was some wild hillside where crops could not be grown. Fang Jianxiong was more willing to cooperate on the principle of mutual benefit and reciprocity.

The soldiers from the patrol battalion came out with their guns raised, threw them away as required, and then walked to the playground and squatted down. Seeing that no one came out, Fang Jianxiong waved his hand, and his students entered the barracks to search to make sure there was no one before giving up.

"Are all the soldiers from both battalions here?" Fang Jianxiong glanced at the playground with about three to four hundred people, and asked Qi Erzhu who was called to his side.

"They are all here, one is dead, three are injured. The others are all here."

The injured were immediately sent to Yijishan Hospital for treatment, and the dead one stopped in front of everyone.

Fang Jianxiong was riding on his horse, looking at the scattered crowd opposite, and announced loudly: "Wensong, Zhu Mingtang has deducted military pay and has received the punishment he deserves." Well, these two and a dozen officers have been squatting.

On the other side, Wen Song, who was beaten into a pig's head, never received any treatment and was lying in all directions groaning. Although Wen Huan was anxious, the situation was such that Fang Jianxiong couldn't cooperate.

"All officers have fifty sticks each, and the soldiers who cause trouble each have twenty sticks. Come on, execute, beat the officers first and then the soldiers!"

The teaching team has a special duty law enforcement team. They came forward and knocked down all the officials. The crackling of military sticks made the mountain ring, and the sound of crying was loud. When the military law was being enforced, a large car came in.

Three large boxes were brought down. Fang Jianxiong nodded and the boxes were opened, with white silver coins dazzling in the sun.

After the officer finished fifty sticks, a clerk came forward, handed a piece of paper, pressed his fingerprint, stuffed a hundred oceans, and then took him to the hospital for treatment. After pressing his fingerprint, they were no longer officers here, but

Fang Jianxiong had no intention of giving them a chance.

After the officer finished handling the matter, Fang Jianxiong rode his horse around the silver dollar box twice, and then said loudly to the soldiers: "Those who consciously come out to lead the military law will receive five yuan per person! Plus two months' salary, it will be fifteen yuan."

.”

Fang Jianxiong still underestimated the attractiveness of Dayang, and everyone wanted to come out immediately. Qi Erzhu also asked stupidly: "Sir, would you win forty times and ten yuan in Dayang?"

Fang Jianxiong raised his foot and gave him a tap on the shoulder: "If you say such stupid things again, I will shoot you."

The effect of several thousand yuan was very good, and the soldiers in the patrol camp were calm. Fang Jianxiong also asked someone to send a hundred yuan to the family of the dead soldier as a pension. At that time, several fellow soldiers knelt down to Fang Jianxiong and said: "

On behalf of his orphaned and widowed mother, I would like to thank you, sir." Fang Jianxiong went up and kicked each of them, and then said: "From now on, we will only have military salutes in this camp, and no kneeling is allowed. Anyone who kneels when he sees the superior will be kicked out of the patrol camp.

Don’t accept it if you dare.”

Finally, everything calmed down. Fang Jianxiong finally relented and directly asked people to send rice and white flour to the camp, ten pounds per person, and give him half a month off for the Chinese New Year! All weapons in the patrol camp were confiscated. The status quo must be changed, but not now.

.

After finishing things here, it was already afternoon. Fang Jianxiong hadn't eaten lunch, and the soldiers were all the same. He returned to the camp and continued the holiday. The whole camp was in a state of excitement, and the soldiers packed up and went home to celebrate the New Year.

Fang Jianxiong looked at the happy soldiers and thought that this year is the last time you can go home to celebrate the New Year. Of the forty people selected and sent by the new army, half of them stayed. Fang Jianxiong went to pay attention and found out that they were all out of town.

My home is far away and there is not enough time to go back and forth, so I might as well stay.

Fang Jianxiong simply told them that they were optimistic about normal duty at the camp, and each person's monthly salary would be doubled.

Before I was a leader, I thought everything was easy. Now that I have led more than a hundred people, I know how difficult it is. Fang Jianxiong has more and more desire to build a team that serves him. Unfortunately, the current official position is too small, and it is difficult for him to do it.

Talent is not very attractive. Once the Germans arrive in large numbers, we can let go of training. By then, it should be much easier.

Wuhu City was particularly lively this afternoon. More than a hundred cadet soldiers formed a bright spot in the small Wuhu County. The young and heroic cadets, three in a group or two in a row, dressed in simple and tough military uniforms, were in this small town.

They are present in every shop in the county. Their language is kind and their business is fair. Compared with them, the county patrol police and soldiers in the patrol camp are scum.

Since the Changmao Rebellion began, there is not much difference between officers and soldiers and bandits in the eyes of the people. Even though the Changmao Rebellion has been suppressed for a long time, the concept that soldiers and bandits should not be separated has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It can be said that these student soldiers outside Wuhu City are somewhat subversive.

meaning.

In fact, every student has a soldier's handbook in his pocket, which records his name, age, etc. At the end of the handbook, there is a revised version of the three major disciplines and eight military regulations. Violating any of them will have a hard time, from being shot to death.

Punishments include imprisonment and confinement. The most terrible thing is that every time you commit a crime, it will be recorded in this small book and carried with you.

Although they have only been in the training team for a short period of time, these soldiers feel that they are very dignified and are unwilling to leave even if they are beaten to death. Therefore, almost no one dares to touch these disciplines and military regulations that require memorization and singing.

While the students were happily shopping, Fang Jianxiong had to go to the county government office to mend his relationship with Zhu Xiufeng. As soon as he left the barracks, he saw Qi Erzhu squatting at the door, with several soldiers beside him.

When Fang Jianxiong saw them, he reined in his horse and snorted coldly: "What? Didn't twenty army sticks knock you down? Do you want to lead the army stick again?"

Several people thought about kneeling down, and as soon as they made some moves, they remembered what Fang Jianxiong said. They each imitated the movements of the student soldiers, raised their hands in salute, and said in unison: "I have seen the commander-in-chief!"

"Well, you still look like soldiers. What are you doing here?" Fang Jianxiong got off his horse and smiled in return.

"Sir, my brothers have all been beaten with military sticks, but none of them resents you. Everyone says that you are saving your brothers, otherwise you will lose a few heads in this camp." It was Qi Erzhu who said this. Fang Jianxiong glanced at him and said, "You kid, I made a mistake. Are you pretending to be stupid with me?"

"Your Majesty, thank you for your reward. I am waiting here just to say thank you to you. Furthermore, the brothers have discussed it and decided to have a holiday, but the work of city defense cannot be left behind. Why don't you come to your Majesty for advice? , there must be a charter for what to do." Qi Erzhu is the representative of these people, Fang Jianxiong finally figured it out. He squinted at this guy, who seemed loyal but was cunning in his heart. Well, he has a promising future and is very appetizing to labor and management.

"You pretend, keep pretending. Don't think I don't know, you are afraid of losing your job in the patrol camp." Fang Jianxiong revealed his plan with one sentence, and everyone changed their expressions. Only Qi Erzhu was better.

The weapons of the patrol camp were confiscated, and everyone was beaten with military sticks. It was useless for these people to stay in the camp. Fang Jianxiong had no intention of disbanding them, but proper reorganization was still needed. Originally, Fang Jianxiong planned to go to the camp later. Now that they are here, I don’t have to go to the patrol camp. These few are probably the more prestigious soldiers in the patrol camp.

"Listen to me. When you go back, restrain the brothers and don't come out to cause trouble for me. This is the first and second. The old, weak and heavy smokers in the camp will be sorted out by me. I will send them to you after the new year. An errand was arranged at the construction site outside the city. Those who smoke must give up smoking first, otherwise they will go away and go wherever they like. The Chinese New Year is about to come, if anything happens to the patrol camp , It must be fun to grow lotus in the Yangtze River." The tone of the words was sinister, and several people shrank their necks in fear. Everyone was afraid of the commander Fang Jianxiong, and they didn't see Wen Song being beaten so badly. That's the nephew of Mr. Customs Road.

"Please don't worry, sir. I will definitely restrain my brothers."

After this process, Fang Jianxiong was completely relieved. He was a little worried about whether he was too soft-hearted. It seems that people in this era are relatively easy to bribe. Just look at their enthusiasm for fighting for the ocean.

"You guys go back and do what I told you. I will go to the camp to visit the brothers tomorrow. Qi Erzhu stays, and the others can go away." After giving the order, Qi Erzhu stayed behind honestly, and the others ran quickly.

"Do you know why I kept you?" Fang Jianxiong asked with a smile. Qi Erzhu didn't dare to pretend to be stupid and was stunned. He nodded and said: "Because they actually listen to me. You can see it, sir."
