Chapter 51 Land
Seeing that he was so sad, Yang Rui didn't dare to talk about the past and just asked about the sects in Shandong. In the information of the Revival Society, there were countless sects in Shandong, but he couldn't figure it out. Especially after Yihequan was suppressed, boxers from all over the country should change their names, so they should have more sects. If you want to understand clearly, only the parties involved, such as Mr. Dong.
Old Master Dong drank a bowl of wine and had a short rest of his sadness. When he saw Yang Rui asking about the sect in Shandong, he asked strangely: "The boss is going to do business in Shandong?"
Yang Rui smiled and said, "No, no. Liaodong can't take care of it, so why do you go to Shandong to do? I just think there is a very deep place in Shandong, so I asked for advice."
Before coming to the northeast, Mr. Dong opened a boxing in Shandong and other places. He was also a gangster in the world. He knew a lot about all kinds of heroes from all walks of life in Shandong. When he saw Yang Rui asking for advice, he stroked his beard and said, "Shandong has many disciples. Not talking about the previous dynasty, but only the previous dynasty. The earliest tragedy was about the Wuwei sect, the smell of incense, and a stick of incense. In the early years of Kangxi, there were Dacheng sects and Bagua sects. Later, in the Qianlong period, there were also converts to Yiguandao, Hunyuan sects, Ligua sects, and later, there were Jiugongdao, Saints and Sages.
Tao, Hongyang Sect, and Tianli Sect. These are all big sects, while those with countless small sects are involved. Many of these sects are somewhat involved with the White Lotus Sect, but they are different. Each sect has founders who believe that although they are the mothers of lifelessness, they add other things to them. They usually burn incense and worship gods, greedy for money and profit, and some also recruit undefeated rebels to seek evil. The above are all cultural and educational, and there are also some churches that specialize in martial arts practice, such as Shundao Society, Big Sect, Golden Bell Cover, Iron Clothing Shirt, Divine Fist, Plum Blossom Fist and other boxing clubs. This Yihe Fist is actually Plum Blossom Fist."
Although Yang Rui only wanted to understand the current situation in Shandong, he was still interested in the origin of Yihequan. Seeing that what he said was different from what he knew, he asked: "What is the relationship between Yihequan and Plum Blossom Fist? Isn't this Boxer the Yihequan?"
It seems that his tireless teaching is the hobby of Mr. Dong, although it is strange why Yang Rui was so unaware of the events of the Gengzi Year. In fact, for Yang Rui, a modern person, the Boxer Rebellion was a very early event. Even if there were news on this on the Internet, he chose to skip it and did not want to face the bleak history.
"If you want to talk about the Boxer Rebellion, you have to talk about the Yihequan first. If you want to talk about Yihequan, you have to talk about the plum blossom boxing first. It is said that the first generation of the plum blossom boxing masters were people from the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. As for the surname and name, I have long known it. By the time of the third generation of successor Zou Hongyi, it was the early years of Kangxi. Zou Hongyi's ancestors were awarded the first-class command position in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty for their merits and were repeatedly favored by the country. He had always had a rebellion. Seeing that the world was overthrown and the Qing court gradually stabilized, he became a disciple to learn boxing. But this boxing changed for him, and he first changed it.
The name of boxing was changed to "Plum Blossom Fist", which means "cold plums proud of snow"; then it is divided into literary and martial arts fields, which emphasizes the use of martial arts to seduce people, and also govern martial arts with literature. Therefore, the plum Blossom Fist spread everywhere. After the transmission of boxing, why did there be no trouble? I don't know. I just say that in order to assassinate the Qing emperor, Yang Bing, the fifth-generation successor participated in the martial arts ceremony in the late Kangxi period, and won the Wu Tanhua. He was named the second-class guard by Kangxi, but it is unknown why it was not assassinated in the end.
There are many people who practice this plum blossom boxing in Guangping Prefecture. Zhao Laozhu, the 14th descendant, has always been prestigious in Wei County. He successively accepted more than 2,000 disciples. Later, the nearby Yuhuang Temple in Liyuantun, Guan County was sold privately by believers ordered by foreign priests to demolish and renovate the Catholic Hall. The people in the trunk refused. The government protected the foreign gangs, so the 18 Kui, who was the leader of the trunk, found Zhao Laozhu, and took him as his teacher and asked for his protection. After several considerations, Zhao Laozhu accepted the 18 Kui as his disciples, but in order not to implicate his fellow disciples, he changed the plum blossom boxing to Yihe Box.
This Yihequan protects the people and resists foreign powers, but it is only in Guangping Prefecture, which borders Zhili and Shandong. However, after the Zhuhonglan uprising in the year of Jihai, the Dadao Club in Caozhou, east and west of Shandong, the Divine Fist of Fucheng in the northwest of Jingzhou, Zhili Jinghai, and Qingxian Red Gate, all these sects of all sizes emerged, and these people were called the Boxer Regiment since then."
After saying that, Old Dao Dong was already dry and hurriedly drank a few sips of wine with Yang Rui. While drinking, Yang Rui remembered what he said before, the Big Sword Club in southwest Shandong, the Divine Fist in northwest Shandong, and countless sects everywhere... It seems that this trip is worth it, and the eighty guns and grenades still played their due role. I couldn't help but feel happy. After drinking the wine in the bowl, I had another one with Old Dao Dong.
After staying in Maoer Mountain for a few days, Yang Rui bowed and returned to Tonghua General Camp. The Fuxing Army now has three large-scale camps, one is to seize the old nest of the Hu bandit Dajiangdong, which is actually Hongtuya in later generations; the other is Wengquanling in Hongshi Town, Liuhe County; the third is the newly built Wunushan Camp, which forms a triangle to protect Erdaojiang New City and Tonghua County.
The Hongtuya camp is now the headquarters of the entire Fuxing Army in the northeast. After simple training, the more than 2,000 miners collected in Fushun before, eliminated those inappropriate ones and all transferred here for training. The first battalion and the 1,600 recruits who destroyed Lin Qishou completed the training were transferred to the other two camps. In order not to attract all forces to pay attention to Tonghua, Hongtuya was only used as a training and logistics base, while Wunvshan and Wengquanling were used as an offensive camp; at the same time, it was for concealment, and the two offensive camps reported different numbers. The Wunvshan City reported the Heishan Lao Yao, Wengquanling reported the number of Zuoshan Diao, and Hongtuya never reported the number. Under the protection of Zhong Guanguang and Liu Jianyun, Tonghua had never had any Hu bandits since last year.
It was already past Mid-Autumn Festival, and the scenery of Changbai Mountain began to change. The yellow poplar trees, red maple trees, and green pine trees made the entire forest look like in oil paintings. Yang Rui held a cup of tea, stood in front of the window, and let out a long sigh. The debate in the war room was very fierce just now. The conservatives led by Lei and Zhen and the radicals led by Li Liezu have argued endlessly about the response to the Russian army's sudden breakthrough into Huairen.
The Liaoyang Campaign at the beginning of the month had come to an end. In the face of the Japanese decisive attack, the Russian army with little fighting spirit retreated to Fengtian again, and the Japanese army then occupied Liaoyang. The Russian army's resolute defeat made the Tsar lose face. The commander-in-chief of the Japanese Manchurian Army Oyama Iwa, said to British military reporter Hamilton: "The Russian army retreated too skillfully." Faced with such a situation, the Tsar continuously issued power to Curobatkin to order him not to retreat again, and sent Lieutenant General Glebebergo to the Far East. He showed distrust of Curobatkin's command ability. The angry Curobatkin was very annoyed. He decided to carry out a large-scale offensive against the trapped Japanese army before Lieutenant General Glebebergo arrived, to wash away the shame he suffered and regain the trust of the Tsar.
Of course, these are games between the upper class of Russia, and even time travelers may not understand Curobatkin's mentality. Yang Rui only knows that the Russian army will launch an attack on the Japanese army next week or next week. This is the Battle of Shahe in history. Because of the raid in Xiongyue City, the time of the Russo-Japanese War that Yang Rui has mastered is no longer accurate, but what should be there will still come. The intelligence from Fengtian, Fushun and other places also affirmed this inference. The Russian army is already rectifying personnel and storing military funds, and is expected to launch a battle-level attack on the Japanese army soon. Moreover, Russian reconnaissance cavalry was set up in Xinbin Fort, Huairen and other places. A unit of 4,000 people led by Colonel Madlitov was gathering in Nanzamu area east of Fushun. According to a leader in the Huabang Team in the Russian army, this time they were going to enter Huairen to the east to threaten the Japanese flanks.
The debate just now occurred when the response of these 4,000 Russian troops occurred. Lei Yizhen, the conservatives represented by Lei Yizhen believe that they should not confront the Russian troops, but should harass them. Let the Japanese and Russian troops fight each other, and their side will find a bargain depending on the situation. However, some Li Liezu believed that they must resist the Russian army's invasion. The troops now have more than 4,800 people and are familiar with the terrain. If they do not completely wipe out the Russian army under the internal battle, they can drive it away, so that they can express their recovery to the Russian and Japanese armies.
Xingjun's determination to control the three places of Kuandian, Huairen and Xinbinbao. In addition, most of the troops are now recruits, and the troops outside the First Battalion have never fought, so it is also good to take this opportunity to train the team. Although war will cause great losses to the troops, the Japanese army now controls the Yalu River and confiscates all the wood stationed in Dagu Mountain for military purposes, causing all the wooden handles along the river to be unemployed. These will come as soon as they are shouting, and the source of troops is not a problem at all.
To be fair, what both sides said makes sense. The difference is that one side mainly focuses on maintaining strength; the other side wants to draw the road before the two beasts and tell them that this is their territory. The two sides are fighting red and neither of them is convinced by each other. The Fuxing Army now has 110 platoon leaders, twenty-four company commanders, and five battalion commanders. Most of these officers are graduates of Lorenzomaguis Military Academy. The rest mainly comes from the factory guard team and the first battalion who have had two actual combat operations. Although the non-commissioned officers are fully equipped, they are basically young people who have never fought. For this reason, every post-war summary and pre-war decision-making, they will try to concentrate the officers above the platoon to study and discuss the combat plan.
Of course, this is mainly Yang Rui's opinion. Leo's opinion is that the combat plan should be formulated by the General Staff, and the officers should just perform combat tasks according to the order. Yang Rui believed that these officers were still students, and these discussions were only equivalent to a tactical course. In his eyes, there must be gold among these people, so we must try our best to sharpen them and sharpen the military gods belonging to the Revival Society.
"Leo, what's the outcome of the four thousand Russian troops?" Yang Rui asked, looking at Leo, who was also standing by the window to appreciate the autumn in Tonghua in order to get out of the quarrel.
Seeing that Yang Rui was asking professional questions, Leo frowned and relaxed a little. He had been worried that more than 2,000 new recruits who had completed training in Tonghua camp were different from the bearded carpenter who was willing to join before, and these miners were too enthusiastic. This is normal. These people said it was rescued, but they were actually arrested by arrested. Moreover, the training of the new recruits was no worse than mining coal. Therefore, there were deserters during the temporary camp in Qingyuan. After handling a few treatments, they were better at going to Tonghua camp, but they were still not very willing to fight. If it weren't for the grassroots non-commissioned officers and the second batch of military academy students who were selected from other troops as the bases of the entire army, it would probably be too many people left in the field marching team.
"If Zhong's artillery can be in place as planned..." Speaking of this, Leo shook his head gently, as if overturning his previous point of view, and said, "Yang, these recruits..." Leo found it difficult to find a word to describe these second recruits from miners. "Do you know, they don't want to be a soldier. They just want to go home, and they are even more unwilling to fight and fight! If these do not change, then we have no way to defeat the 4,000 Russian troops. Although the Russians do not want to fight and fight."
Hearing what Leo said, Yang Rui also sighed. He knew about the miners who wanted to go home long ago. The deeper they went into this era, the more they knew that many things that were taken for granted in later generations were completely unworkable. When they were asked to come to the military camp, educate and educate, these suffering miners would become conscious and immediately devote themselves to the revolution. However, now the propaganda team organized by Fan An tried all the methods that Yang Rui could think of, but they did not achieve any good results. For them, nothing was more attractive than the wives and children in the family than those acres of land. In China, revolution is not that simple, either forced to live without a land. The Chinese people would not want to rebel. Even if they wanted to rebel, they were mostly driven. After seeing the blood, they did it wholeheartedly.
Several thoughts were around Yang Rui's mind, but he did not reply to Leo's words. The next afternoon, he called Fan An, who was in charge of the preaching. "You can introduce the ideological situation of the recruits." Yang Rui smoked and spoke in a tone without any hesitation.
With the expansion of the troops, Fan An's rank was no longer a sergeant and became a second lieutenant officer. Of course, this rank was also from the propaganda team. Now the ideological situation of the new recruits who were from miners was not optimistic, and as the head of the propaganda team, he had great responsibility. Although he had used all methods.
"Report to the chief, most of the miners come from Harbin, Heilongjiang, and only a few are from our Liaodong. I complained to the conference, and the yangko team and other things were all on the table, but they just wanted to go home." Speaking of these new recruits, Fan An felt an indescribable pain. He had caught a lot of his hair, but these people just didn't want to join the army. They just wanted to go home.
The complaint conference was only guided by Yang Rui himself. People who were harmed by the Russians and Japanese in various places were specially transferred. When mobilizing other troops, the effect was very good, but now there was no effect. In fact, these miners were not unaware that the Russians were bad. They came to Fushun to dig coal and were half-scamd and half-forced. However, these people were in Liaodong's family in Heilongjiang, so they didn't want to join the army at all. Moreover, Yang Rui would not be as cruel as a big nose, so the result was that good people were bullied.
Yang Rui thought about it all day and finally came up with some solutions. He said, "You can't blame you for this. They are not here, so it is still difficult to work here with peace of mind. But you should also think about the improvements in mobilization work, what are the bad things? What should I do in the future if I encounter this situation? These are very important. We will encounter any of us in the future, and we should summarize and summarize what people listen to. You can write a report to me after you go back."
When Fan An heard that the punishment was just writing a report, he felt relieved. Because of Yang Rui, the Fuxing Army paid great attention to paperwork, and there were countless statistical tables. As a cadre responsible for the ideological work of the army, he had long been used to it.
"Also, our policy must be changed. When you go back, tell the soldiers that as long as you are at ease with the army, the troops will give each of them two villages at home, and there will be another reward for making meritorious contributions. In addition, their wives and children can be moved to Tonghua, and the logistics side will respond to the arrangements." Now these recruits have no connection with the troops, but if they are given land, it will be a different matter.
Fan An was stunned when he heard that each soldier had two houses at home, and he had no reaction for a while. Seeing that he was stupid, Yang Rui added, "The same is true for other soldiers, and the officers will be more according to their level. However, these lands are mostly reborn. If everyone has no money, the troops will be responsible for solving the cost of land reclamation."
The Fuxing Army has always been treated well in addition to military pay. Of course, the poor military pay is only for new recruits, especially the privates, only three yuan per month. Although the money is solid, no additional food expenses or other items are deducted, and no credit, it is really not much, which is half less than the New Army of the Qing Dynasty. However, the treatment of non-commissioned officers is good. For example, he is now at the second lieutenant level, and he can eat eight yuan per month, and the food, clothing and use of the army is good, and even better than those small landlords. Although eating is the cheapest pork, at least meat is also eaten. Now according to the official rank, how many lands can the military officers pay?
In his hometown, Licheng, Shandong, there is a saying that "three acres of land are made, five acres of land are eaten standing, and ten acres of land are sitting". There are twenty acres of land in the two mainlands, which is enough to support a family of four. Although he now has eight foreign dollars in military pay every month, there is no real land for this.
Seeing that Fan An was still stunned, Yang Rui stopped talking to him and directly threw the land allocation plan he had discussed with Zhong Guanguang last night. He said, "If you can't mobilize them in this way, that's your problem." He sent him out.
