When they heard Zhao Bei's new interpretation of the revolution, they were happy to join the army, but the idealists of the Qunzhi Academy did not agree. For them, participating in the revolution was to expel the Tartars, to restore China, and to make this dying nation stronger! Grab money, land, and women? I'm afraid that it's not yet that time! What's the difference between this and the societies? Besides, the glory of the bannermen was a thing of the past. Nowadays, except for those who have high status, the others are not much different from the Han people. Many of them have made a lot of hard work, so they are more arrogant and can take the courage to ride on the Han people.

Zhao Bei glanced at the senior officers standing in the reviewing stand, and saw that their faces were a little bad, he knew they had any objections.

It is normal to have opinions. If you raise a hundred people with the same rice, you have your own ideas. If you don’t have ideas, you are a wooden man. If you want to unify the thoughts of the troops, it cannot be done overnight.

But we should really comfort them, so Zhao Bei changed his tone and said, "However, as revolutionary soldiers, we cannot rob this or that casually. We are not bandits, nor the Eight Banners soldiers who entered the pass to plunder. Therefore, even if we rob money and grain, we must rob it in an orderly and organized manner! That's what the Western military god Napoleon did! The stolen things were handed over and distributed uniformly, and we must not rob it privately! We also have military disciplines. Violating military disciplines, others can be compatible. I am

You won't be able to snatch a toothpick without my order! I won't be stingy about what you deserve. You must not get what you deserve. Don't stretch out your hands! We only rob the enemy, not the people! We are revolutionary soldiers, not bandits, we have to be disciplined! Discipline is combat effectiveness! I have handed over the matter of formulating the military discipline of the revolutionary army to the comrades of the Qunzhi Academy. Soon, we will have our own military discipline. Once formulated, no matter the officers and soldiers, they must violate it. Otherwise, military law is engaged in military law!..."

After half an hour of enthusiasm, he finally completed the mobilization speech. Zhao Bei took a German military kettle, drank a little half in one breath, raised his hand to wipe his mouth, and looked at Duan Fang and Yinchang who were kneeling beside the reviewing stand. Several soldiers were serving the two of them with wine and meat. Yinchang was eating meat and drinking in big mouthfuls, but Duan Fang was limp and was held like mud. The wine bowl was delivered to his mouth, and he didn't know how to open his mouth. The soldier who fed him to drink had no patience. He reached out and pinched his chin, opened his mouth and squirted, and choked Duan Fang's nose and tears.

Tian Jinfu, who was guarding the two, ran to the reviewing stand, stood attentively and saluted, and said, "Report! Duan Fang, Yinchang has finished eating wine and meat. Will he be executed now?"

Zhao Bei glanced at Yinchang and asked, "Have you found the executioner?"

"The Ministry of Justice has played with a ghost-headed sword." Tian Jinfu said with his head held high.

"Then you will do it." Zhao Bei turned around because he found that Yinchang was looking at him with a strange look, which made him very uncomfortable. He asked a dying person to stare at him. No matter who changed, he would avoid the other party's gaze.

Tian Jinfu walked down from the reviewing stand, waved his hand, and said, "Release the cannon!"

"Wait! I have something to say!" Yinchang struggled to stand up and shouted to Zhao Bei.

"Take him over and talk." Zhao Bei nodded to Tian Jinfu.

The soldier walked over with Yinchang and wanted to kill him to kneel down, but was stopped by Zhao Bei.

"What do you want to say?" Zhao Bei asked. "If you have any last words, you can also have paper and pen."

"You are the vanguard officer who incited mutiny? What charges should I kill us?" Yinchang was surprised at Zhao Bei's youth.

"Yes, I am the revolutionary vanguard." Zhao Bei had a stern face. "Killing you is not a personal grudge, but a public indignation! It is not only to avenge the soldiers you killed, but also to sacrifice flags! At the same time, it is also to express our revolutionary position."

"Revolutionary stance? Grab money, fields, and women?" Yinchang smiled miserably, but after laughing for a long time, no one paid attention to him, and then asked in disgust: "Is it a gun or a knife?"

"Blade." Zhao Bei raised his head and looked at the graves in the distance. "It was the ghost-headed knife that ordered Ge Shiha to kill those soldiers."

"You made up that crappy story?" Yinchang asked with a pale face.

"What story?" Zhao Bei was slightly stunned.

"You called the soldier to tell the story about Yuan Shikai on purpose outside the prison door. Yuan Shikai had the courage to kill the emperor? I'm afraid it was you who made it up? What's your intention to make this story?"

Zhao Bei said meaningfully: "It doesn't matter whether Yuan Shikai poisoned Guangxu. What's important is that Guangxu was indeed poisoned to death. So, that may not be just a story." Yinchang could no longer be said. With a wave of his hand, several soldiers escorted Yinchang down and knelt with Duan Fang.

"Kill! Kill!"

The soldiers shouted.

With a cannon, the light of the knife flashed, and two heads fell to the ground, and then hung high on the flagpole, swaying in the wind.

"Report, the criminal has been killed!" Tian Jinfu ran to the reviewing stand and said.

Looking at the two headless corpses, Zhao Bei felt a little moved.

"When they slashed the soldiers, they probably wouldn't have thought that they would die under the same ghost-headed sword."

This is the war! It is a life-and-death struggle between two groups, and it is also a fierce collision between the two eras. This war requires victims. Those soldiers are victims and Yinchang is also victims. If Zhao Bei does not do well, then the next victim is him.

"Report!"

Just as Zhao Bei was feeling emotion, Zou Runyou ran over and stood in the reviewing stand to salute.

"Say." Zhao Bei withdrew his gaze.

"I received a telegram from the pseudo-Qing Army Department, which was forwarded by foreign gunboats on the Yangtze River, and sent to Duan Fang and Yinchang."

"read!"

"Yes!... This time the Anqing war was in chaos, the rebels occupied the provincial wall, and bandits rose up, and the south of the Yangtze River was shocked, and it was likely to become a decay. I ordered your troops to advance eastward quickly and fight with all their might, and to purge them in the first time! Military Affairs Department, Army Department.

Zhao Bei glanced at the telegraph paper in Zou Runyou's hand, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth. Now the uprising troops not only have the radio station, but also have the Qing army's telegraph codebook. It can be said that all the Qing court's actions to dispatch troops could not escape their eyes. Unfortunately, the communication distance of the radio telegraph machines is too short, and the Qing army does not have several radio stations, and they receive very few domestic signals. Instead, foreign ships on the Yangtze River send out some clear telegraphs from time to time.

"How do you call back?" Zou Runyou raised his head and looked at the two heads swaying on the flagpole. "Just take this opportunity to turn on the power to revolt!"

Zhao Bei shook his head and said, "No! The uprising cannot be issued now. Since the Qing court is still in a dream, let them continue to dream. The call is back: Our army has advanced eastward. I hope the army will briefly describe the mobilization of the new army and patrol teams in each province to support the suppression. In addition, there are a large number of gunboats in the Yangtze River. I hope that the operators will be transferred to advance eastward, spreading densely in Jiangning and Shanghai to deter the association and protecting the important financial and tax areas in Jiangnan."

...

west!

At about 9:00 a.m. on November 22, 1908, Zhao Bei, the "vanguard of the Revolutionary Army" personally presided over the braid cutting ceremony of all officers outside Huangnigang Town. He then killed Duan Fang and Yinchang in front of the army, and after burning all the baggage ships, he formally vowed to the west.

The revolutionary army was organized into two echelons and advanced rapidly westward along the road built by Qiu Cao's new army. Zhao Bei served as commander-in-chief, Wu Zhenhan was the commander-in-chief of the first echelon, and Yang Wangpeng was the commander-in-chief of the second echelon. All the supplies that could be taken away were controlled by the independent logistics brigade, and were commanded by the commander of Zhao Bei's guard Tian Jinfu.

"When will you wake up for a thousand years? Who will sleep in the countryside? The land will sink into the land. Listen to a song of lyrics... Don't let go of your time, and your old age will be sad. You will chase Japan, Europe and the United States, and the world's civilization will begin in succession..."

The red flag is flying, the military songs are loud and the morale is like a rainbow. The era known in history as the "Wu Shen Revolution" has officially begun.
