Back to the Republic of China as a commander

There was a strong sense of decadence between the lines in the uncle's letter. It seemed that the uncle had suffered a severe blow.As for the letter itself, Wang Zhenyu didn't really care much about it, because he had already received a letter from Lu Diping before, so he knew roughly what happened.Looking at the content of the uncle's letter, it is true that for the sake of the overall situation, he had to give up the matter of revenge.

However, he also knew from this letter what kind of person Tan Yankai was. Although he was only in his early thirties, he was an old man. When he became a "heartist", Wang Longzhong was still studying in a military academy in Japan.Such a character, seeing Wang Longzhong approaching menacingly, and that cunning Mei Xin fled to Hengyang with her troops when she saw that the situation was not right.But in this extremely unfavorable situation where there were enemies of tigers and wolves outside, but no soldiers to use inside, Tan Yankai successfully turned the situation around.

On the one hand, Tan Yankai publicly declared that he was willing to give up the position of governor to Wang Longzhong to avoid the civil war in Hunan; Please, Huang Luanming, as an old officer, appeases the coveted First Association outside Changsha City.Huang Luanming is the old standard of the 49th standard, and his prestige is usually high. The officers of the First Association, including Wang Longzhong, are still his old troops.So when he went to the First Association, he was reprimanded, angrily scolding Wang Longzhong and the others for committing crimes above, disregarding the overall situation, and ruining the situation.

Finally, Tan Yankai promised to recognize Jiao Dafeng and Chen Zuoxin as revolutionary martyrs, and each family would give 4 yuan in pensions.Under such circumstances, the barbaric Wang Longzhong, who usually handles things with ease, gave up and accepted the leadership of Dudu Tan.Wang Zhenyu looked at the letter from the clan uncle and knew that he, a careless clan uncle, would not be far away from completely withdrawing from the political stage.

Don't look at Tan Yankai's trying to win over him now, when Lao Tan has his own direct line, it is estimated that the uncle of the clan will either be killed or go to the wild, and there is no other way out.The clan uncle was extremely brave on the battlefield, but he was short-sighted and naive in politics. Wang Zhenyu gave this clan uncle a very accurate position, the benevolence of a woman.

After experiencing the turmoil of the Wang Longzhong incident, Tan Yankai's pace of grasping military power has obviously accelerated.At the end of December, the Hunan military government reported to Huang Xing the preliminary reorganization plan of the Hunan Army: the Hunan Army had established a total of five infantry divisions, of which Wang Longzhong's troops were organized into the fourth division. This order itself was an obvious omen.The commander of the fourth division is naturally Wang Longzhong, who has the seventh and eighth brigades under his jurisdiction. , Head of the Sixteenth Regiment.And according to Lu Diping's hint in the second letter, the situation in the division is also very complicated recently. Many people flirt with the military government. There is obviously a problem with the control of the various departments by the clan uncle Wang Longzhong.

Wang Zhenyu shook his head, and kept these letters, which was a habit of his.

Wang Zhenyu suddenly remembered one more thing, he and his troops seemed to be left alone.

Wang Zhenyu, the battalion that was left in Hubei and has not been withdrawn, and the governor Tan Yankai who is busy with everything, really didn't pay attention.Not only did he not pay attention, Huang Luanming, the Minister of Military and Political Affairs of Hunan Province, who was in charge of the reorganization plan, did not pay attention or deliberately did not pay attention; ask.He treats guests and drinks all day long, and he is so drunk that he doesn't know if he is really stupid or if he is pretending to be stupid to save his life.Therefore, because of various citations that can be explained and reasons that cannot be explained, the Second Battalion, which made illustrious military exploits at Yudaimen, was forgotten by everyone in such a bunch of intentional or unintentional inattention, and became a wild child.

However, the Hunan military government can forget the second battalion, but Huang Xing, the army chief of the Nanjing interim government, will not forget it.At this moment, he is proud of the spring breeze, and he still remembers in his heart the most difficult days in Hanyang, who stood up and turned the situation around for him, it was none other than Wang Zhenyu.After the retreat of the Hubei and Hunan Army, the battalion remained in Hanyang and followed its own command to stabilize the morale of the army.This person has merit, and this army has merit. The Hunan side can forget him, but how can Huang Keqiang, who values ​​love and righteousness, forget him.

So President Huang swiped his pen, and the designation of the Ninth Brigade of the Fourth Division of the Hunan Army was given to Wang Zhenyu's department.In addition, in the name of the Army Department of the Nanjing Provisional Government, Wang Zhenyu was directly appointed as the commander of the Ninth Brigade of the Fourth Division of the Hunan Army and awarded the rank of Major General.Huang Xing also understood the embarrassing situation of this unit very well. In the order, Huang Xing clearly ordered the brigade to be expanded and formed by the original No. 49 Second Battalion. After the expansion is completed, it does not need to be rebuilt. Headquarters, prepare to participate in the Northern Expedition.At the same time, in order to commemorate the victory of the Hankou counterattack, Huang Xing also wrote a special notice to the whole army and awarded the brigade the title of "Tiger Brigade".

In Hunan, Tan Yankai didn't have any objection when he received the order from Nanjing. Now, in order to secure the position of governor, who was stained with the blood of the members of the League, he still needs the support of Huang Xing, the veteran of the League.Therefore, he obeyed all Huang Xing's orders, but it was a small brigade, and after the formation was completed, it had to be directly invested in the Northern Expedition. Tan Yankai was not very concerned about this.As usual, he instructed the military and political department to supply the department as needed, and appended his name to Huang Xing's order. As for whether the military and political department would follow suit, that was out of his control.After more than a month, most of the main officers of Wang Longzhong's two brigades and four regiments have joined him. Even if Wang Longzhong has one more brigade under his name, what troubles will be caused?

No one at that time could have imagined that such an order just out of Huang Xing's personal preference would later affect the historical trend of the entire Republic of China. . .

"Congratulations, general." After getting the news, all the teams rushed to congratulate Wang Zhenyu.You are not stupid. You have been promoted from a battalion to a brigade, and the leader has changed to a general. Now everyone will have a chance to be promoted.

"Tiger Brigade" Wang Zhenyu is still struggling with the name, and it is easy for him to think of the Sri Lankan Tigers in later generations? Does Chief Huang Xing want himself to be a revolutionary terrorist?There was chaos in my mind.

"The official order hasn't come down yet, and no one has come from Changsha. What are you guys doing here, get out of here and go back to training."

Wang Zhenyu drove away the group of sycophants with a haughty face, and Wang Zhenyu sat quietly in a chair alone in a daze.

I have actually become a general. In more than two months since I came to this era, I have changed from a down-and-out college graduate who could not even find a decent job to a major general and brigade commander in the civilian army. This is really the current situation Create a hero.Wang Zhenyu felt the pressure coming to him. He knew that he was not the Wang Zhenyu who received the formal education of the Hunan Army Primary School. His promotion to major general was just an unreasonable gamble in Hankou. He played a night attack and got away with it. up.To be honest, he doesn't think he is a qualified soldier, and the training of the soldiers under him is just a little knowledge he has learned from watching his father's childhood memories of leading soldiers and various military-themed novels and TV dramas.But his father was only a battalion-level cadre all his life, and he is now a major general, and he is the kind who really leads troops, not a general who is a singer.

At the beginning, I only took care of the more than 700 people in my own battalion. Although there was some pressure, I didn't feel anything.

First of all, these people were not familiar with them at that time, and they had a mentality that they didn't care about spending the windfall.Now it is already a close team, everyone is like their own brothers and sisters, and there is no longer the feeling of indifference to them in the past.

So when the level was raised, Wang Zhenyu actually felt confused, even a little scared.Then he became a little unconfident, and he began to doubt whether he could really make a difference in this era?

"Hi" Just as Wang Zhenyu was deep in thought, he suddenly felt someone pat on the shoulder, and then a girl's voice frightened him.No need to look, Wang Zhenyu also knew who it was. His pressure disappeared after such a slap, and he said without turning his head: "Childish."

"Huh..." The one who frightened Wang Zhenyu was naturally our Miss Ye Ziwen, who stayed in this military camp for more than half a month. Ye Ziwen, who was confined at home on weekdays, faced the new living environment of the military camp, except for being fresh and happy.In addition, their cultural and educational work was carried out very smoothly. Although the soldiers were a little stupid, their attitudes were very correct and serious, and their learning effect was naturally not bad. This gave the girls who acted as teachers a sense of accomplishment.

More importantly, the whole battalion knew that these seven or eight little girls were invited by Mr. Guandai, so they were very polite to them, and their treatment was also based on the standards of military officers.These young ladies can go wherever they want in the barracks and do whatever they want. Now they are really letting the ducks go. This group of young ladies who grew up in the concession see everything new and interesting.Because of the training time, the boys in the teaching team are close to the water. Dai Yue, Chen Yaxin, Tao Zhiyue, Song Haomin and others are now wandering around with these girls every morning, making these girls amused. Fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls burst into laughter.It wasn't until after they went to class in the afternoon that these boys went to the teaching team to report on participating in the military training of the teaching team. Wang Zhenyu turned a blind eye to this.

Although the original plan to play tricks on Ye Ziwen failed, the very difficult task of improving the cultural quality of the entire battalion was unexpectedly accomplished.

Before Wang Zhenyu had time to thank Ye Ziwen, he was given another headache by this young lady. Since the military song taught the teaching team last time, this young lady of the Ye family has nothing to do in the morning.She stopped running around with the idiots in the teaching team, but wandered around in Wang Zhenyu's battalion every day.The guards of the battalion also knew that the young lady had a different relationship with her family's supervisor than other girls, so they never stopped her from entering and leaving the battalion.
