Crimson Dawn

Chapter 63

Wu Xingchen was not surprised to hear Pang Zi clearly stated, "Chen Ke will not be the master."And Chen Ke accepted this without any objection, and expressed his approval.Wu Xingchen was not surprised either.But seeing the relief shown by Pang Zi and the other Shandong brothers, Wu Xingchen felt a real disappointment.But he can no longer say anything. If he persuades Pang Zi to obey Chen Ke as he did a few days ago, Pang Zi will only look at Wu Xingchen suspiciously, and then ask: "Brother Wu, Where are you standing?"

Wu Xingchen really wanted to say to Pang Zi, "Brother, I'm on your side." But Wu Xingchen couldn't say it, because he himself was wondering where he was on.

To be precise, Wu Xingchen didn't have a good impression of Chen Ke. He knew this, and he knew that Chen Ke knew it too, so Wu Xingchen never concealed it.Wu Xingchen knew very well that he only joined the People's Party because he was interested in the theory of the People's Party.He also knew that Chen Ke knew this.Therefore, this constituted Wu Xingchen's great confusion.This would be a big deal if he was in the various organizations that Wu Xingchen had worked for.It is a great sin in itself for subordinates to have no sympathy for their superiors and to come together only for a common purpose.Subordinates must do everything possible to hide this attitude in order to survive in the organization.

But the People's Party is different. After staying in this small political party for so long, Wu Xingchen gradually developed a strange feeling. Is the "People's Party" really going to rebel?All the political programs and ideas put forward by Chen Ke are indeed aimed at rebellion.In order to avoid all possible failures, Chen Ke's measures were very cautious.Wu Xingchen understands this very well and supports it very much.Wu Xingchen felt that he fully understood what the "people's revolution" that Chen Ke hoped for was all about.If the revolution succeeds, the People's Party will lead the people to ultimate liberation.

Based on the above understanding, Wu Xingchen is more aware of the obligations of being a member of the People's Party.And these understandings are what Wu Xingchen finds it difficult for him to achieve.Yes, if the revolution is successful, then I will become a hero and a great person.But these are nothing compared to what I will pay.

When you realize that everything you do is for the people, not for your own fame and fortune, when you realize that all the hardships you have to go through are dedicated to others.Then normal people will feel a kind of disapproval.And this is where Wu Xingchen is most confused. This kind of idea makes Wu Xingchen unable to refuse, but Wu Xingchen feels that his dedication cannot benefit the brothers he cares about.If Chen Ke can point out the specific steps on how to carry out the revolution, as long as he can convince Wu Xingchen that these are correct, then Wu Xingchen will implement them without hesitation.But Chen Ke didn't, he just told everyone that the world is about to revolutionize, and a brand new system must be established.And then there's the explanation of those things.Those who have read the book are very interested in it, but Wu Xingchen is not very interested in these things.What he needs are not these theories, what he needs are practical methods.

Thinking of this, Wu Xingchen looked at Chen Ke, and could not see the slightest regret on this young man's face.Even if this person is angry, he will hide his emotions under a smile.Wu Xingchen has been able to confirm these in the past few months of observation.But after becoming a member of the People's Party, Wu Xingchen knew that he had no loyalty to the party.Nor has he made any speeches from the party's interests.So Wu Xingchen knew that even if Chen Ke had enough methods, he would not eagerly tell Wu Xingchen.It wasn't because Chen Ke had any opinion on Wu Xingchen, but because Chen Ke himself didn't believe that Wu Xingchen would really accept it.

Looking at Pang Zi and the other brothers again, except for Chai Qingguo who still looked a little uneasy, the others seemed to have finally let go of the burden in their hearts.Wu Xingchen frowned. If these people really wanted to rebel, among the people Wu Xingchen knew, only Chen Ke could give these brothers advice.If Chen Ke gave up on them, then the uprising of these brothers would inevitably end in failure.Don't these people know?

At this moment, the sound of a military band playing came from a distance, it was "The New Beiyang Army is Advancing" compiled by Chen Ke.This piece of music written by Americans in the style of Soviet music is actually different from Soviet military music if you carefully distinguish it.Soviet military music is in the style of the Orthodox "saints".This piece of music in Red Alert [-] is only completely different from the traditional Soviet military music in terms of music arrangement.More than ferocious, but not melodious enough.But from the ears of today's Chinese, it can be regarded as in line with the spirit of the tiger and wolf teacher.It was the first time for the other people in the tent to hear this song. After listening to it for the first time, Pang Zi laughed and said, "This is a war with auspicious instruments blowing." After hearing this witty remark, several people burst out laughing. .Chen Ke also laughed a few times.Wu Xingchen, Chen Tianhua and Chai Qingguo didn't laugh.

It seems that military music has been approved by the commander of the Beiyang Army.After playing it twice, the military music stopped, and soon there was a burst of people shouting and neighing.When the turmoil ended, "The New Beiyang Army is Advancing" was played again. Not only that, it seemed to have a clapping accompaniment.Chen Ke listened carefully, it was the sound of infantry phalanx marching.

Pang Zi also heard this kind of change, and he asked curiously: "What's going on? Why don't we go out and smoke."

"You are not allowed to go out. This is a military camp, there will be accidents if you run around." Wu Xingchen stopped Pang Zi.

Seeing Wu Xingchen's serious expression, Pang Zi replied angrily: "Understood." But Pang Zi didn't pay much attention to it.He knew that Chen Ke brought them here to kill their vigor.That is to say, kill Wei Bang.Pang Zi had heard of storytelling in Cangzhou, and if Lin rushed into the prison, he would have to be punished first.This kind of thing can't fool him.And Pang Zi didn't really blame Chen Ke for this.After seeing the military appearance of the Beiyang Army with his own eyes, Pang Zi was really shocked.On this point, he admitted what Chen Ke said in his lecture a few days ago, if they fought head-on, the rebel army would definitely not be the opponent of the Beiyang Army.

In Pang Zi's view, what Chen Ke wanted was to regain his brothers, and then Chen Ke gave orders to them.It seemed that Wu Xingchen had followed Chen Ke, and he spoke well of Chen Ke everywhere.The scholars who were sent by the princes of the Qing Dynasty were so miserable, didn't Wu Xingchen learn the lesson?At that time, Wu Xingchen was the first to see that Manqing was unreliable, and it was the best policy for everyone to take 36 tricks.Only then did he escape with his life.Why is Wu Xingchen not as good as before, and was deceived by Chen Ke, a scholar.Pang Zi is going to take the time to have a good chat with his "Brother Wu", so that Brother Wu can understand.The ones who can be relied on are his own brothers, not those outsiders.Only one's own brothers would treat each other sincerely and not let their own people suffer.Only by catching the appetite of these people, they will give you good things.This is not the case with Chen Ke, this Chen Ke is inviting dinner, helping to pay for the meal, and showing everyone the reality of the Beiyang Army.Isn't it just because of everyone's reputation in the world?

Pang Zi glanced at Chen Ke proudly.I just said what I said, and I won't take Chen Ke as the master, Chen Ke still has to listen.To deal with these scholars, we can't give them any benefits at all.Pang Zi suddenly thought, this Chen Ke doesn't look poor, and he refuted his face just now. This kind of scholars love to hold grudges.In the past two days, I should give Chen Ke some face, and then take advantage of Chen Ke's complacency to run on him. It would be good to swindle some more money from Chen Ke.And Chen Ke also said that if he wanted to recruit a group of brothers, he would definitely not be able to do without money and food.Do you still use Chen Ke to say this kind of nonsense?But this is also a good excuse. Since Chen Ke supports his rebellion, please give him money and food.Thinking of this, Pang Zi looked at the other brothers. This matter needs to be discussed with the brothers.You can't do it alone.

Thought he had successfully suppressed Chen Ke, even though Pang Zi tried his best to suppress his emotions, in Chen Tianhua's view, Pang Zi's happy expression could not be hidden at all.Chen Tianhua happens to be 30 years old today, and he has seen much more of the world than Pang Zi.This little trick couldn't hide it from him at all.What made Chen Tianhua feel unpredictable was Chen Ke's expression.

Ever since he got acquainted with Chen Ke, Chen Tianhua couldn't grasp Chen Ke's emotions at all.If it were someone else, they would often be excited and elated when they reasoned.It is not so high-spirited to do specific things.But Chen Ke was different from others, when he started to do things, his serious attitude could be said to be full of concentration.Working with Chen Ke has always been very easy.On the contrary, speaking of truth, Chen Ke always had a dignified attitude, almost thoughtful.

Chen Ke should be well aware of Pang Zi's actions.From Wu Xingchen's expression, it can be seen that Wu Xingchen understood, and Chen Tianhua also understood.It stands to reason that Chen Ke should also understand.But for some reason, Chen Tianhua felt that Chen Ke didn't understand what Pang Zi's actions meant at all.Such an unpredictable and profound attitude really puzzled Chen Tianhua.If Pang Zi is allowed to do so at this time, it means giving up the revolutionary situation that may expand in the north.If Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren's consistent attitudes were followed, it would be impossible for them to give up such a good opportunity.However, Chen Ke's current actions made it clear that he wanted to give up.Chen Tianhua wanted to remind Chen Ke that it was inappropriate to do so.

But at any rate, Chen Tianhua also had basic judgment, and he couldn't speak nonsense in the Beiyang Army's barracks.In case someone overhears something, it will only bring danger.I can only discuss this matter with Chen Ke when I return to Beijing.Thinking of this, Chen Tianhua couldn't help but want to hold the party meeting now.There are really too many people's party meetings, and the daily routine makes everyone feel a little bored.However, after Pang Zi and others came, the three people's party members in Beijing hadn't held a real party meeting yet, and many things were only being promoted without communication, which made Chen Tianhua feel very unbearable.Suppressing his emotions, Chen Tianhua sat there without saying a word.

After a while, the military music finally stopped.Wait for a while, it should be the Beiyang Army began to return to camp to rest.The camp began to become lively from far to near.There were more and more sounds of walking, shouting, and the sound of entering and leaving the tent.Suddenly the tent door opened, and Bu Guanshui strode in.As soon as he entered the door, he smiled and said, "Brother Wen Qing, thank you very much. The military music was well received this time. In the end, even Mr. Yuan was alarmed. He sent someone to say that there will be a military parade tomorrow."

"What did Lord Yuan say?"

"He said that this song is majestic and majestic, worthy of the new Beiyang army. There will be a military parade the day after tomorrow. He deliberately spared a while tomorrow morning to let the Beiyang army parade temporarily in a town to get familiar with military music."

"Oh? Brother Bu is going to be famous." Chen Ke joked with a smile.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Bu Guanshui just sighed, "We will go back tomorrow morning."

Seeing Bu Guanshui like this, and adding this, Chen Ke can probably guess that Bu Guanshui's Shangfeng wants to take the credit for himself. If Bu Guanshui is kept here, if Yuan Shikai gets to the bottom of it, he must take Bu Guanshui's attention. Shui called to reward in person.If you send Bu Guanshui away early, you will definitely get the credit for yourself.

"Brother Bu, it's not easy to come here, can we sneak a look?" Chen Ke said with a smile.

"I'll arrange this." Bu Guanshui didn't seem too reconciled to his efforts being so fruitless, so he readily agreed.He went out again and had some straw and marching quilts fetched. "It's a bit rough. After all, I'm away from home, so please make do with it. When I get back to Beijing, I'll be the host and invite you to dinner." In the end, Bu Guanshui didn't seem to want to lose his identity.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, Bu Guanshui arranged everyone on a small high ground early.Although it is a little far away, the military parade of the Beiyang Army can still be seen clearly.Moreover, there are some sentinels here at the top. With them, a lot of trouble can be avoided.A leader came to arrange an explanation to the sentinel of the Beiyang Army in person, and the sentry naturally agreed.Moreover, after checking that Chen Ke and the others were not carrying any weapons, the sentry was naturally unwilling to be troublesome.

After waiting for a long time, one after another troops began to gather in an open space far away from the highland.The rumble of footsteps came from far to near, making Pang Zi and the others afraid to make a sound.Pingshu likes to say that "there are tens of thousands of soldiers, boundless and boundless", condescending, and only tens of thousands of people are lined up in a dense queue, which is also discharged for more than a mile.After all, the Beiyang Army was considered the best-trained army in China at that time. Tens of thousands of people stood like that, but no one made any noise, and the entire army was silent.

The military band was in the middle of the team, and opposite them was a mound of soil, which seemed to have been temporarily built with new soil, and the color was quite different from other places.After a while, several officers on white horses galloped past the queue.Next, several horses galloped back and stopped on the mound. The military band began to play "New Beiyang Army is Advancing", and teams of new Beiyang troops passed through the mound one by one.

Last night Pang Zi laughed at the Beiyang Army for "blowing auspicious instruments".Now seeing with his own eyes the groups of soldiers marching in unison, Pang Zi's expression completely changed.Thousands of soldiers marched in a unified pace. That kind of courage, combined with this murderous military music, is really majestic.

The people who watched did not dare to stop and watch with their horses like they did last time.This time they were lying on the hillside with only one head exposed.The vibration of walking forward was transmitted from the ground, and everyone's tactile nerves could feel it.Pang Zi felt that the earth was really shaking.Originally, the remnant thoughts of being short and long with the Beiyang Army were completely abandoned.He knew that there were only 1 people pressing down like this. Needless to say, even the tens of thousands of people led by Uncle Jing Tingbin back then, seeing such a scene would probably scare many people away.The longer he watched, the more Pang Zi felt scared, and the memories of fighting the Beiyang Army a few years ago came back more and more.Fortunately, there were not so many people in the Beiyang Army back then. If the army was so strong back then, Pang Zi would definitely not be able to escape.

Chen Ke was not afraid at all. He had seen several shocking National Day military parades. As far as the movement of the Beiyang Army was concerned, Chen Ke felt that it was at the level of a university military training queue.At that time, the university had not yet expanded its enrollment, and there were only more than 2000 students in one class, but compared with the Beiyang Army, it was by no means inferior.

The only thing that made Chen Ke feel a little tasteful was the cloaks worn by the officers on the white horses. When the horses were running, they fluttered and fluttered, which was quite beautiful.Is it true that when the Red Army is built in the future, the officers will also be dressed like this?But Chen Ke quickly denied his idea.The characteristic of the Red Army is one word - "soil".This is of course related to the lack of financial resources to produce better equipment at the time, but this "earth" feature can make it easier for the people to accept this army.Think about it, if the Red Army is made of woolen coats, woolen breeches, and long riding boots, can the common people regard such an army as a soldier?

This was a temporary military parade. The troops headed directly to the exercise site, and tens of thousands of people left quickly.The sentries also withdrew.I don't know if it was because of lying on the ground for too long, or because of being scared, when Chen Ke saw Pang Zi and the others get up, his legs were a little weak.

Having finished what they should see, the group returned to the barracks, took their horses, and set off on their way home.

Along the way, Pang Zi and the others deliberately distanced themselves from Chen Ke, and Chen Ke also wanted to attract Bu Guanshui.It would be convenient without Pang Zi and the others.Although Bu Guanshui was deprived of credit, this was the norm in the Beiyang New Army.And from the official documents, he is now the deputy commander of the Anhui New Army.Participating in the leadership is naturally nothing in the Beiyang New Army, but this is Beijing after all.In Anhui, the title of this participation is definitely a senior military officer.

"Wen Qing, once I leave Beijing, I don't have many chances to meet her. It's hard to meet someone like Wen Qing, and I really don't want to leave like this."

"I don't want to be separated from Guan Shui so early. But if it's not easy to meet, that's not necessarily the case."

"How?" Bu Guanshui became interested.

"I want to go to Anhui next year. Since Guanshui is also in Anhui, we brothers can see it often."

"Really? Brother Wen Qing is going to Anhui, so he must come to me."

"If I were looking for you, I would definitely come to your door for something. And I would definitely ask to come to your door, so don't make me annoyed."

"It's my wish to help Shang Wenqing. If you don't come to me if you have something to do, you are meaningless."

After chatting for a while, everyone discussed the issue of the army.Bu Guanshui was born in a regular military academy, and Chen Ke's level is that he has finished reading "Sun Tzu's Art of War", and he hasn't finished reading "On War".His military knowledge is from the Red Army and the People's Liberation Army, which is completely inappropriate for this era.Speaking of the military discipline of the Red Army, Bu Guanshui said with a smile: "Wen Qing, you are talking about military affairs on paper, purely a scholar's opinion. Who doesn't know the importance of military discipline? But who can really achieve military discipline like the Yue family's army? Don’t demolish houses, die of starvation and don’t rob? Although the military discipline of the Beiyang Army is good, don’t forget, it’s fed with a lot of gold and silver. There is no military salary from the imperial court, hehe.”

Chen Ke knew that this was true.Even the Red Army and the Eighth Route Army are still paid.And because there is no empty pay, the military pay of the Red Army and the Eighth Route Army is even more than the actual income of the Kuomintang army.Moreover, after arriving in northern Shaanxi, the backbone of the Eighth Route Army was the elite who had undergone the Long March to eliminate and temper them. They have studied Chinese history, and it can even be said that they have observed human history.It can be said that there is not a single army tempered in such a difficult environment.It is really extravagant to want to form such an army in this era.

Seeing that Chen Ke didn't speak, Bu Guanshui thought his words were a little heavy, and he comforted him: "Wen Qing's statement is not unreasonable. But China's current problem is that its industry is backward, and its military equipment cannot be produced by itself. If it fights with foreign countries in the future Speaking of which, it would be a big deal if they were cut off from the supply of arms. However, the production capacity of domestic military enterprises is limited, and I have always felt that this is a headache."

Seeing what Bu Guanshui said, Chen Ke simply talked with Bu Guanshui about foreign industrial construction.This is the thought of Bu Guanshui.Bu Guanshui is a layman in this regard, after listening to Chen Ke's explanation in simple terms, Bu Guanshui was quickly and completely attracted.Chen Ke has been lecturing for so long, but when it comes to these familiarity, he is fine.Bu Guanshui, on the other hand, had a very good impression of Chen Ke. Now that he listened to Chen Ke's narration, he felt that the problems that had troubled him for a long time were explained clearly one by one.The favor towards Chen Ke increased rapidly.

Chen Ke stopped with a dry mouth, picked up the water bottle and poured it vigorously.Bu Guanshui suddenly asked seriously: "Wen Qing, what are you going to do in Anhui?"

"Do some business."

"Then what can I do for you?"

"I'm going to set up some factories and form caravans. Without the help of Guanshui, it would definitely not work."

"Well, I see that you are so familiar with the industry. After you arrived in Anhui, you simply contacted a group of people to engage in arms manufacturing. After I arrived in the Anhui New Army, I had some status anyway. As long as Wenqing's things are good, I will definitely buy you Yes. It will definitely let you earn money. As for building a caravan, you must have a military backbone. When you find someone, I will help you train those people. I will never let Wen Qing down. I don’t want any money for training your."

After hearing this, Chen Ke was really happy.During these days of communication, Chen Ke can feel that Bu Guanshui has not yet reached the age of corruption, so he still hopes to make a career by nature.Since he said so, he should do the same.Chen Ke said quickly: "Thank you for your kindness. Guanshui is so beautiful, I can only say that I will never let Guanshui down."

"My brother, who is in love with each other, what are you talking about. But I don't quite understand the joint production you mentioned just now, Wen Qing. You have to explain it in detail, Wen Qing."

Bu Guanshui asked countless questions along the way, and he must stay with Chen Ke when staying in the hotel.When he returned to Beijing, he immediately wanted to invite Chen Ke to drink.Chen Ke politely declined.The two sides agreed to meet at noon the day after tomorrow.That's when we broke up.

Back at the residence, Pang Zi and the others were also tired all the way, so they went straight to sleep.Chen Kexiang, Wu Xingchen and Chen Tianhua didn't go to bed, they closed the door carefully to check that no one would disturb them, and then officially held the first meeting of the Beijing Party group.
