young marshal spring and autumn

Chapter 17 Military Discipline

Zhang Zuolin, who became the king of Fengtian, did not dare to neglect, and had strict restraint on the troops.He has a habit of visiting in private.Of course, he knows the abilities of the generals who have followed him for a long time, but he still has the heart to test the school for the many new officers who are somewhat unfamiliar with Zhang Hanqing.

One night, Zhang Zuolin waved a paper folding fan, wore a melon skin hat, a silk robe, and soft cloth shoes. He was dressed as a businessman, without adjutants or guards, and quietly walked out from the south gate of the commander's mansion.He wanted to privately investigate the defense situation of the army in Fengtian City.Taking advantage of the darkness, he first came to the gendarmerie headquarters suddenly. The officer on duty was taken aback.Zhang Zuolin checked the duty situation of the headquarters and was very satisfied to see that it was in order.Then, he came to the headquarters of the 27th Division alone, and the officer on duty received the commander in surprise.Seeing that the division was in order, the commander quietly withdrew.

Zhang Zuolin didn't allow anyone to guard him, and walked back by himself.At that time, it was around 2:[-] midnight, there were few pedestrians on the street, and the night was pitch black.Zhang Zuolin walked towards the Shuai Mansion calmly, he wanted to go home from the east gate, and slowly approached the east gate of the Shuai Mansion.The East Gate Hutong of the Marshal's Mansion was dimly lit, and the Marshal vaguely saw the sentry box at the east gate of the Marshal's Mansion, and vaguely felt a sentry standing guard on duty.Seeing that he was about to get home, the handsome man walked happily.

When he was only 100 meters away from the east gate, the commander-in-chief suddenly heard a stern shout: "Stop!" , and continued to move forward.At this time, the commander heard the clicking sound of the rifle being pulled and the bullet being loaded. The commander, who had experienced many battles, knew that this was an action of preparing to shoot.At the same time, I heard a more stern shout: "Bastard, you are looking for death! If you don't stop, I will shoot you and send you back to your hometown!" Zhang Zuolin couldn't help being furious when the guard called him a bastard. Said: "I am Zhang Zuolin!" The commander thought that as long as he revealed his identity, the misunderstanding could be resolved, and he went home smoothly.

Unexpectedly, the guards were very vigilant, and they didn't believe the commander's answer at all, thinking that they were lying to him, so they continued to berate him sharply: "You are Zhang Zuolin's own father, so get out of here quickly. Otherwise, I won't show mercy with this gun!" Zhang Zuolin was taken aback when he heard this, the little bastard dared to scold me.Just about to get angry, but calmed down immediately, after thinking about it, he couldn't help laughing, and said: "Good boy, you are kind! Okay, okay, I'll go, I'll go!" The marshal realized that this guard was an extremely serious people.At the same time, the black light is blind, he is wearing plain clothes, without guards, and he is alone, unable to prove his identity.Once the opponent fires, it's no joke.He made a quick decision, turned around and walked towards the east end of the alley in a quick and quick manner.

The commander calmed down, took a shortcut and went straight to the teaching team's machine gun squadron headquarters in Ludong, Dananmenli.When we arrived at the squadron headquarters, we called the squadron leader Wang Guansan.Monk Wang Guan Sanzhang Er - I can't figure it out, I don't know what to ask him to do at such a late hour.The commander-in-chief told him to call the commander-in-chief's mansion and ask the company commander of the guard to come out and pick him up.It happened to be Guo Songling, Chief of Staff of the Guard Brigade, who answered the phone.When Guo Songling heard that the commander-in-chief called someone to pick him up from outside, he thought something serious had happened, so he didn't dare to neglect, immediately assembled the pistol company, ran to the squadron headquarters, and took the commander back to the commander's mansion.

Zhang Zuolin returned to the general office of the commander-in-chief, and before he could sit still, he immediately said to Guo Songling: "Go and call the guard who is standing guard at the east gate. I have something to say." Give the order to go.Soon, Company Commander Xiu, the guard on duty that night, brought a capable soldier in his 20s.He felt very strange that the commander-in-chief summoned him so late.

Seeing the guard, Zhang Zuolin asked seriously, "What's your name?"

The guard didn't know what was going on, so he replied loudly, "My name is Li Debiao!"

Hearing Li Debiao's accent, Zhang Zuolin could tell that it was this guard who had just met him.The marshal whispered to himself: "It's this boy!" The marshal looked at this young man carefully, seeing that he was born stupid, dark and thick, with a loyal and honest face, and he secretly liked him in his heart.Then he pretended to be stern and said: "Why didn't you let me enter the east gate just now? You said it was my father too! Could it be that you didn't listen to me?" At this point, Li Debiao knew that he had been scolded just now, and then The person who is not allowed to approach the east gate is really Marshal Zhang.He was at a loss, panicked for a while, and knew he had hit a snag.However, the matter has come to this point, and it is useless to regret it.Are you afraid?Of course it doesn't help.Kill or cut, it's up to you.However, he thought he had to explain the situation and argue for himself, so he bit the bullet and said, "Report to the commander, the company commander has an order!"

The Marshal asked sharply, "What order?"

The guard replied loudly: "Standing guard at night, no one is allowed to enter or leave the commander's mansion without an order from above." Li Debiao emphasized that "no one is allowed", and you Zhang Zuolin is also one of them.

Zhang Zuolin patted the table: "Is it the company commander or I? Your company commanders have to listen to me!"

Company Commander Chu was beside him, fearing that this stubborn little soldier would be ruined, he said, "Commander, the young commander taught you that 'the general will not accept the orders of the king outside', and he also said that 'the duty of a soldier is to obey orders', the young commander's order It’s just that no one is allowed to enter and leave the commander’s residence at night.” He thought to himself that you father and son have conflicts, of course it’s easier to communicate than outsiders like us.

"What a boy!" Zhang Zuolin glanced at Company Commander Xiu standing aside, and said approvingly, "I can't see that you can lead troops!" After speaking, he asked Li Debiao how old he was and where he was from with a relaxed face. How many years have you been a soldier, have you ever married a daughter-in-law, and your family status, etc.It turns out that Li Debiao is from Faku County in northern Liaoning. He is 21 years old this year and has been a soldier for two years. He has not yet married a wife because of his poor family.

Zhang Zuolin nodded.With the actual encounter tonight, and the oral investigation just now, the commander-in-chief already has a plan in mind.He decided to reward Company Commander Chu and the young guard heavily, and use them as an example to encourage other soldiers.

The marshal called Guo Songling, the chief of staff, and ordered: "Maochen (Guo Songling's name), promoted to the battalion commander of the company commander, and promoted Li Debiao to the second lieutenant officer. Tell the military supplies department to reward the company commander 500 silver dollars and Li Debiao 2000. This is I rewarded them personally, let the Military Quartermaster make a note first."

Guo Songling agreed: "Yes!"

But Zhang Zuolin smiled and said to Company Commander Chu and Li Debiao: "'A soldier takes obeying orders as his duty', that's a good saying. But you young commanders have to listen to me, hahaha."

He was still thinking, thought for a while, and said: "Tell Yang Yuting to come see me tomorrow morning!" Guo Songling said that he agreed, and the commander wanted to make further arrangements for Li Debiao.

The next day, Yang Yuting, Chief Counselor of the Touring Envoy, came to see Zhang Dashuai. Zhang Dashuai said to him politely: "Ling Ge (Yang Yuting's word), let me introduce you to a small fellow from your county." people.Yang Yuting asked who it was, Zhang Zuolin called Li Debiao and introduced them to each other.After the introduction, Zhang Zuolin told Yang Yuting what happened last night. Yang Yuting laughed and said, "It's really a handsome man who meets a soldier. It doesn't make sense!"

Zhang Zuolin praised Li Debiao for his "kindness" and said again and again: "I, Zhang Zuolin, like tough bones. Soldiers, of course, take responsibility and obey orders as the first priority. A boy like Li Debiao strictly enforces military orders. No matter who he is, he is really aggressive. Really kind!"

Then, Zhang Zuolin asked Yang Yuting to do two things: first, to ask Yang Yuting to be responsible for choosing a young girl of similar age for Li Debiao as a wife; second, to send Li Debiao to the lecture hall to go to school immediately.Since then, Li Debiao has become a well-known figure in the Northeast Army.This ordinary soldier from a poor family has since changed his life trajectory.Li Debiao was very competitive, entered the lecture hall of a famous military school, and graduated with honors.In the army, Li Debiao performed well. By the 16th year of the Republic of China (1927), he had been promoted to the colonel head of the 27th Division.

Zhang Zuolin admired Zhang Hanqing's proposition that "soldiers should obey orders as their bounden duty." If so, who would have the ability to take away military power from him?Officers and soldiers are not afraid of death, what battles can they not win?Since then, this sentence has spread from the Guards Brigade to the entire [-]th Division, and it has been firmly remembered as the first rule for soldiers to enlist in the army.

Good military discipline allowed Fengjun to gradually emerge among the armies of various places at that time, and its combat effectiveness was enhanced, and it also won the support of Fengtian people.Of course, Guo Songling's rigorous management of the army has also been passed down as a good story.From then on, as a rising star in Fengjun, Guo Songling officially entered Zhang Zuolin's sight.As one of the young marshal's direct descendants, he also officially stepped onto the stage of Fengjun's core.
