Back to the Republic of China as a commander

Zhang Zongchang's violent expropriation and the numerous evil deeds of his troops finally triggered the civil uprising in Shandong.

The bandits who have been lurking in the Yimeng mountainous area of ​​Shandong for a long time have become the main force of the civil uprising this time. In the past, these bandits robbed houses and houses and gave the common people a little way of life. After all, sustainable development must be achieved.

But Zhang Zongchang, a bastard, treated people fairly and equally, and truly implemented the principle of combing bandits' mistakes and soldiers' mistakes like washing in the work of looting places.

In this way, the bandits had two options left, either to be recruited, or to be squeezed to the point where there was no room for survival. After all, bandits without licenses were no match for those with licenses.

But never underestimate the determination and courage of the oppressed to resist

On August 8, the Shandong gentry who had enjoyed a good time in the early Republic of China were the first to go to Zhang Zongchang to petition.This made Zhang Zongchang very dissatisfied.

Zhang Zongchang shouted angrily at these gentry: "I am the biggest parent official in Shandong. If you dare to oppose me, that is unfilial."

The gentry were angry and funny: "Then parents and officials, do you dare to give us children a way to survive, and take advantage of it? Do you dare to strictly enforce military discipline and lawlessness for your army?"

Facing the raging crowd, Zhang Zongchang was not afraid. He took out his pistol and pulled the trigger, knocking off the hats of several gentry, and the protesting crowd panicked.

"My old Zhang doesn't understand you fools. Now in Shandong, my old Zhang is the biggest. I can do whatever I want. If you don't accept it, then you are going to rebel." You can rebel if you dare, but even if my old Zhang agrees, you have to ask the guy in my old Zhang's hands if he agrees, right?"

Only then did the gentry realize that they were scholars and it was reasonable to meet soldiers. After a long sigh, Zhang Zongchang's gang of bandit soldiers pushed and kicked them out. Don't forget to take some valuable things from the gentry, such as gold watches and so on. . .

Since formal channels cannot effectively communicate, Shandong people have given up their unrealistic fantasies. The blood hidden in their bodies has completely exploded at this moment. Don't treat honest people as stupid b.

The first area where a large-scale civil uprising broke out was in the Yimeng Mountain area, and the fuse was a ridiculous thing.

In Mamuchi Village, Yinan, more than 100 simple and honest Shandong people live here. They follow the precepts of their ancestors, work at sunrise and rest at sunset, and go to worship Buddha in peace of mind during festivals. From October 1910 to March 10, the last winter of the Qing Dynasty, it was extremely cold.Just this winter, 1911 lives were devoured by a rare plague in hundreds of years.In the face of this sudden epidemic, the Qing government, whose building was about to collapse, had neither proposition nor ability to deal with it.At that time, China's medical and health system was close to zero. It was not until 3 that Beijing began to set up a sanitation office under the General Patrol Department to clean up garbage.Even if this is the case in the capital, the situation in Harbin, a newly emerging city on the border, is even worse. There is not even a Chinese western doctor.Although the government also did some anti-epidemic work at the beginning of the epidemic, the backward equipment and lack of scientific knowledge made these efforts a drop in the bucket in the face of the raging epidemic.The epidemic went all the way south along the railway, and for a while, "the epidemic spread, and people were frightened", just like a river breaking its embankment, it was unstoppable. "The dead bodies are lying in a mess, and the shape is particularly tragic."Longjiang, Changchun, Hulan, even Hebei, Shandong... the number of deaths from the epidemic doubles every day.As Xi Liang, governor of the three northeastern provinces at the time, described, the epidemic was "like water pouring down on the ground, like a fire starting a prairie fire." Scattered, coupled with tight control in Russia, the epidemic did not expand. Out of self-protection, Russia deported a large number of suspected infected Chinese workers back to the country. The workers carried the virus all the way south along the railway)

At that time, when the news reached Ma Muchi Village, people in Shandong were already panicked, and the court didn't know what to do except to refute the rumors.Cases of death of infected people appeared in neighboring villages, and people in the village were even more terrified.

At this time, the old patriarch came up with a way to appease everyone. Everyone raised funds together. If you have money, you can contribute money. We asked craftsmen in the provincial capital to cast a two-meter-high copper Maitreya Buddha, and specially gilded Maitreya Buddha. To show sincerity.

As soon as the Buddha statue stood up, it was really magical. During the entire plague, Ma Muchi Village survived alone and made a safe transition. . .

So the name of Ma Muchi Golden Buddha spread like this, and people from all over the world flocked to worship, praying for Maitreya Buddha to bless their own safety.

With the prosperity of the incense, the Muma Temple was built here, and three monks were invited from Dengfeng Shaolin Temple to serve Maitreya Buddha.

Sure enough, in the next few years, the weather in the Yimeng Mountain area of ​​Shandong was smooth, and everyone's life was much more prosperous, until Zhang Zongchang came. . .

The person Zhang Zongchang sent to the Yimeng Mountain area to recruit troops was his confidant, Xu Kun. This man was originally a general of the direct line, but later joined the Feng line with Zhang Zongchang.At first he was the commander of Zhang Zongchang's subordinates. This time when he entered the customs and Zhang Zongchang ascended to heaven, Xu Kun naturally rose with the tide. From regimental commander to brigade commander to division commander, in just one month, Xu Kun has already He was promoted to the commander of the third front army of the Zhilu coalition army under the command of Zhang Zuolin's security.This kind of promotion speed can be called a rocket, but looking at the entire Fengjun, it is almost the same situation.

Xu Kun's method of pulling the team is exactly the same as that of Zhang Zongchang, it is exactly the way of bandits pulling poles.Incorporate a group of bandits and hooligans, sworn brothers, made officials and made a wish, and then they went to develop and offline.Later generations admired the Jews for inventing pyramid schemes, but ignored the fact that pyramid schemes have been popularized and blossomed in the military and political struggles of all dynasties in China.

Yu Sanshuan, commander of the No.20 Third Brigade and Second Regiment of the No.[-] Third Brigade and Second Regiment of the Third Front Army of the Zhilu Allied Army, was Xu Kun's offline. This person was originally one of the many bandits in the Yimeng Mountains.After Xu Kun arrived here, Yu Sanshuan tactfully took his Hundred Hundred Guns and went to seek refuge. This made Xu Kun, who had failed to recruit bandit armies, overjoyed, and immediately gave him the title of regimental commander.

Now Yu Sanshuan transformed himself from a bandit to an official.When he swaggered into the county with his team, apart from the sigh of the county magistrate, it was the beginning of the suffering of the local people. . .

Grabbing men and paying them are the most basic and normal requirements of warlords.Yu Sanshuan has been a bandit for many years, and now when he gains power, his mentality is like a beggar who won the 500 million lottery. Is there any reason for this?

First of all, he wanted a woman. He couldn't compare to Zhang Zongchang, who married his wife Qifang in ten days.But he is not bad, he married a three-bedroom wife in ten days, and they are all women from good local families, so he refuses to marry, right?A bunch of soldiers rushed up. . .And of course he did not forget to give benefits to the bandit brothers who have been with him for many years. The women on the street, whichever one you like is your wife.The Dengwen drum of the county government was almost smashed, but the county magistrate had nothing to do with this savage leader Yu. , in desperation, the governor, who was not a local, could only choose to abandon his official position overnight and escape.This is because Yu Sanshuan doesn't regard the people under his rule as human beings now, he wants to enjoy, enjoy, search desperately, enjoy crazily.

The patience of the Chinese people is unprecedented, until Yu Sanshuan learned about the Maitreya Buddha statue full of magical stories and boundless mana in the Muma Temple in Mamuchi Village.

Everything is infinitely exaggerated in the process of language transmission. The Buddha statue cast in bronze nine years ago has been transformed into a golden Buddha for hundreds of years.In addition, a series of ghost stories such as the appearance of the Buddha are added. The scholar who participated in the imperial examination met a female ghost here, and then the golden Buddha appeared to save the scholar, and then the scholar won the high school imperial examination.They still talk about having noses and eyes, so Yu Sanshuan, who is illiterate, cannot be disbelieved.

If you believe it, you will have expectations, and if you have expectations, it will be like keeping them for yourself. Yu Sanshuan is not satisfied with being a small regiment leader.Think about it, being a regiment commander is already so powerful, if you go up a step to become a brigade commander, division commander, or army commander, then it's fine.Yu Sanshuan even dreamed of being an emperor in his heart. Fortunately, he was just an illiterate rather than an idiot. Knowing that this dream was too far away for him, his first step was to become a brigade commander.But he hasn't figured out how to become the brigade commander. After all, this is the first time for him to be on a sedan chair as an official. He doesn't understand anything about following people or standing in line.But there is a truth that he has understood since he was a child. If he can get the blessing of the gods, then it is no dream to get promoted and get rich, so he decided to move this rumored big golden Buddha to his home.

The next scene is old-fashioned, after all, it is an official, so it is not good to directly grab it.Yu Sanshuan first ordered Ma Muchi Village to send this golden Buddha, but they naturally refused to accept it.Then Yu Sanshuan, furious and angry, took his regiment of about 500 troops, and rushed to Ma Muchi Village in a mighty way.This army is also very fancy, except that the uniforms are uniform, the weapons are completely varied, such as broadswords, spears, spears, rifles, hot and cold weapons, but there are no heavy machine guns and cannons.

And the most amazing thing about the Chinese people has also appeared. If you rob him of his money, they will not collectively resist.If you sleep with his women, they won't fight collectively.But if you try to touch the Golden Buddha, then I'm sorry, it's everyone's safety, it's everyone's interest, you can't do it.So not only Ma Muchi Village, but hundreds of surrounding villages were mobilized, and ordinary people who were extremely docile rushed to Muma Temple with hoes and sickles. Don't even think about moving Zhang Zongchang, a storm is coming. . .
