blood feud

Lightning River, in fact, should be a homophonic misrepresentation of Mongolian.Its true meaning should be "Shangdu River", because this river got its name after passing through Shangdu in the Yuan Dynasty.It was called Rushui in ancient times, and it was the source of the Luan River. It originated from Jinlian Mountain (also known as "Xiaoliang Mountain", 2 meters above sea level) at the junction of Guyuan and Fengning counties.

The Lightning River flows in a very strange way.

Between Fengning County and Guyuan County, it flows from south to north; when it reaches Zhenglan Banner, it turns to the east and then slowly flows to the southeast; when it reaches the east of Duolun County, it really flows south into the Luan River.Finally, it passes through the Great Wall from Xifengkou, and finally gallops straight down into the Bohai Sea, completing its own journey. The whole process is 877 kilometers.

In the long river basin, the Lightning River crosses mountains and forests, crosses lakes, and moves forward in a meandering way, with beautiful scenery.For thousands of years, she has nourished the Bashang grassland like a mother, making the mountains and rivers beautiful, the sky blue and white, the birds singing and the flowers fragrant, and the cattle and sheep fat and strong.

The beautiful and rich Lightning River Basin has played a pivotal role in the centuries-old history of the Liao, Jin and Yuan Dynasties.It was called "Tanshan" in the Liao Dynasty, also known as "Liangxing", and it was called "Jinlianchuan" in the Jin Dynasty.Thinking back to the past, "a hundred thousand Tibetan riders drank the Luan River, and tigers and deer hid in the wild grass and sea".

In 912 A.D., Taizu of the Liao Dynasty conquered Xi and won a great victory. In March, he went to the Luanhe Palace to record his achievements.After the death of Taizu of Liao Dynasty, the new widow Empress Dowager Xiao regented and ruled Daliao.Since then, she has invaded the Song Dynasty on a large scale to realize her ambition of annexing the Central Plains.

In the Lightning River Basin, Empress Dowager Xiao planned and commanded the "Battle of Gaoliang River" and "Battle of Waqiaoguan" and other wars.

Especially the "Battle of Qigouguan" and "Battle of Feigukou". Taking advantage of the collapse of Liao Jingzong and the young Shengzong in the Northern Song Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty gathered three armies in an attempt to recover the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun in one fell swoop. Empress Dowager Xiao personally led the army in Weizhou , Zhuozhou and the Song army fought bloody battles, and even fell into the city.

In July of the same year, because Pan Renmei and other generals fled in anticipation and did not respond according to the prior agreement, the famous Song Dynasty general Yang Jiye was trapped in Langya Village, Shuozhou, and was captured alive by the Daliao Tiger General Xie Zhen.

"Since Song Shouyun and Ying Zhuzhou, when they heard that Jiye was dead, they all abandoned the city and fled."The storytelling "General of the Yang Family" tells such a story!

Later, it was deduced that Taijun She took command at the age of [-] and led the widows to fight against the Liao soldiers. I don't know how many people were touched.Mu Guiying's name is even more well-known and has become synonymous with heroines.

It can be seen from this that fighting against foreign humiliation is a fine tradition of the Chinese nation, and there is no distinction between men, women and children!

Guyuan County is close to the west of the Lightning River, and the seat of Guyuan County is "Pingdingbao Town", which is only ten kilometers away from the Lightning River in the east.

In fact, the Lightning River is not considered a river in Guyuan County, but more like a ditch lying flat on the grass.If you stand on flat ground in the distance, you may not be able to see it if it is blocked by grass.

Guan Xiong, Ding Jiashu, and Zou Baoyin unified their opinions, so the troops divided into five groups and went straight to the county seat.

It is now around eight o'clock in the evening, and it is dark all around.Two cavalry companies led by Zou Baoyin surrounded the county from five directions.

It is said to be a county seat, but it is actually a town named Pingdingbao.As a result, he had already entered the city with a single charge, but soon ran into trouble.

Zou Baoyin was about to follow up, when a forward soldier rode back and said, "Report to the commander, there is a group of people blocking the way ahead. They have guns, but they all carry them behind their backs, and they don't look hostile. The company commander asked me to Come here and ask how to deal with it?"

Zou Baoyin still had this kind of thing, so he said immediately: "What are you dealing with, I'll go over and see what's going on!"

When I came to the front, it turned out that there were more than 300 people holding torches, and the leader was a middle-aged man in his 40s, wearing a herdsman's blue robe and carrying a box cannon on his shoulders.But no matter how you look at Zou Baoyin, this person is not like a Mongolian.

Zou Baoyin couldn't speak Mongolian, so he could only ask in official Chinese, "Is the old man one of Li Shouxin's people?"

"We have nothing to do with Li Shouxin!" The middle-aged man spoke standard Mandarin with a Shandong accent: "I have no objection to you attacking Li Shouxin, but you must not harm the safety of our common people."

"So that's the case!" Zou Baoyin asked with a half-smile, "So my soldiers endangered the safety of the villagers?"

"Not now, doesn't mean there won't be in the future!" The middle-aged man's tone was cold: "Li Shouxin's more than 1 people dare not enter my Zhuangzi. I hope you will accept it as soon as you see it. As for Li Shouxin's headquarters, it is in the Zhenbei, you guys go there!"

When Zou Baoyin heard this, he was already a little unhappy in his heart. What, do you regard Lao Tzu as a bandit or something?Now that we have come here, this is part of Rehe Province, how could we just leave like this?

Thinking of this, Zou Baoyin's face also darkened: "Mr., I am now formally notifying you on behalf of the Rehe Front Army: Guyuan County will be part of Rehe Province from today! According to the Anti-Japanese National Government of Rehe Province and Rehe Police Commander According to the Ministry's order, no illegal armed forces are allowed in Rehe Province! Now, please hand over your weapons immediately!"

The middle-aged man was obviously surprised: "Are you from Rehe?"

Zou Baoyin nodded: "Yes, I am Zou Baoyin, the infantry regiment commander of the [-]rd Rehe Guard Division. From today onwards, Guyuan will be my defense area. Now, please ask your subordinates to hand over their guns, so that everyone will not look bad. .”

The middle-aged man said neither humble nor overbearing: "Sorry, I am the commander of Chabei Qingxiang appointed by Commander Song Zheyuan of the 29th Army. My subordinates only obey Commander Song Zheyuan."

"You follow Song Zheyuan's order, okay!" Zou Baoyin said indifferently: "Since you are some kind of commander, you have the responsibility of guarding the land and protecting the environment and the people. Li Shouxin is the commander of the Chadong garrison appointed by the little devil. Big traitor. You and Li Shouxin are fighting together, can I treat you as a traitor?"

"Li Shouxin is Li Shouxin, and I am me." The middle-aged man did not back down: "Li Shouxin being a traitor does not mean that I am also a traitor. As for getting along with Li Shouxin peacefully, it is because after the disbandment of the Chahar Allied Army , Commander Song ordered not to have friction with the Japanese."

"Hehe, that's fine!" Zou Baoyin said with a smile: "I will give you two choices: first, hand over your weapons and be honest for the people; second, take your people and leave Guyuan County immediately. If you are stubborn , you should also know that our Rehe Province does not listen to any traitorous orders from the southern government, and can arrest you at any time!"

"As for the nonsense, you are not allowed to rub against each other. I beat up little devils and traitors! Go to Shijiazhuang, your army commander Song is there. The entire Chadong and Chabei are now part of Rehe Province, and no private persons are allowed. Armed. Come, escort them out of the county!"

"Wait a minute!" The middle-aged man took a step forward: "To tell you the truth, my name is Bai Yushan, and my ancestors came from Shandong. I know the blood debt of the little devil in Shandong. So at the beginning of last year, the Chahar Anti-Japanese War The Allied Army was established, and I also sponsored a large amount of grass. I, Bai Yushan, can leave, but I have one request."

"I have more than 1 village warriors under my command. I hope you don't embarrass them. Most of them are farming my farmland, not professional soldiers. Also, when they joined the city guard team, they brought all the horses themselves. Yes. Except for a few standard weapons that I bought, the shotguns are also their own. So, I hope you can let them take their own things away."

Zou Baoyin didn't want to cause more trouble, so he nodded and said, "You worry too much! Our military horses in Rehe are all bought by Mongolian friends for training alone. We won't take your horses at all. As long as they don't give you money in the future. The Rehe Police Headquarters will not be held accountable for the little devils doing things that endanger the village. All the standard weapons will be kept, and they will be disbanded within two hours!"

Zou Baoyin finally sent Bai Yushan away, and then sent another company to watch nearby.After all, different ways do not conspire with each other. Although Bai Yushan also hates devils, he belongs to Song Zheyuan's people, that is, people from the southern government.

Under normal circumstances, they can't pee in the same pot with the Rehe Front Army. If there is any movement, it will be a capsize in the gutter.

"Old Zou, why are you still here in a daze?" Guan Xiong rushed over single-handedly: "I have been looking for you for a long time, and we have discovered Li Shouxin's reserve warehouse, and the things are not old or young! He left a The cavalry regiment and an infantry regiment guarded it, and then took the cavalry regiment away in a hurry. The infantry regiment was captured by us before we knew what happened."

"Hahaha, I'm worried that the land here is sparsely populated, and there is no one who wants to build a military road. Now that so many prisoners have been captured, a big problem can be solved!" Zou Baoyin asked with a smile: "Old Guan, to the detachment leader Have you sent a telegram?"

"I sent an urgent telegram, asking for instructions on the handling principles of Guyuan County." Guan Xiong nodded: "The boss called back, that's why I came to you. The boss' order is that Ding Jiashu will serve as the security commander of Guyuan County. You and I Go back to the original place. Don't stare, these are the words of the boss!"

Zou Baoyin shook his head: "The reason for my staring eyes is that there are still two regiments of enemies that have not been dealt with. Shall we go now?"

"No, you go back first, I have to wait for the arrival of Master Han Qingfen's large troops!" Guan Xiong said with a smile: "The boss said that you haven't made a name for yourself, so don't get involved here. As for the other The two cavalry regiments in the army are now surrounded by Commanders Han Qingfen and Shao Jianzhang, and we will wait until tomorrow to solve the problem."

"Hahaha, it turns out to be like this!" Zou Baoyin looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "There is a white jade mountain here. I asked them to disband the guards within two hours. Now you can guard here. My Chicheng County is still a mess. Oops! Hundreds of thousands of people have been captured, and they are still being held on the main road, and I have to rush back overnight!"

Three days later, Zou Baoyin received a briefing from the division commander Shao Jianzhang: This time the counterattack against Li Shouxin defeated the strength of nearly seven regiments.Among them, more than 600 enemies were killed, and more than 4700 enemies were captured.The command of the front army ordered that all the materials obtained by the ministries should be kept if they can be used by themselves, and all other materials should be handed over.

"Haha, I'm rich!" Zou Baoyin laughed when he saw the report: "I got 1731 horses and 12 75mm mountain guns! Now, my infantry regiment has become a cavalry regiment again! No, my equipment Too many, too few people!"

After all, what happens next, let's see the breakdown in the next chapter.
