The Republic of Heroes

Wu Xiaoliang was kicked out of the military academy by the guards, but he didn't expect that the road to school would be so bumpy.Unable to just give up like this, he squatted on the side of the road panting for a few breaths, trying to figure out how to deal with it.A car drove by, and the cavalry followed behind, raising a cloud of dust.Wu Xiaoliang thought to himself: Maybe there is a big shot in the military academy, why not follow him and hand over the letter of recommendation directly.

Followed all the way back to the military academy, and sure enough a big man got out of the car, dressed in a lieutenant general's uniform, but it was a pity that he left in a hurry, and it was difficult to get close with the guards and horses at his side, so it is better to sneak into the military academy and look for opportunities.The main entrance was guarded by soldiers, so he could not enter. He sneaked around the courtyard wall to find a place where he could put his hands down and turned into the courtyard. He worked as a cook in Baoding Military Academy for two months, but he had never entered the south courtyard. The temperament of the North Courtyard is quite different.Looking left and right, someone shouted:

"Stop, who?"

The guards were guarding the car and the lieutenant general came striding forward. Wu Xiaoliang hurriedly stood still and stood at attention very substandardly, "Report sir, the new student Wu Xiaoliang has come to ask you to sign up."

The lieutenant general was a little angry, so he signed up and went to the admissions office to stop me, the principal, for what.Seeing that the officer was angry, the guard hurriedly said, "Student, just go to the admissions office to sign up."

"What, you are Wu Xiaoliang?" The lieutenant general is the principal Wang Ruxian, and he suddenly remembered that Xu Shichang entrusted him with this name, "But Jinchuan Wu Xiaoliang jointly recommended by Jiang Baili and Cai Songpo?"

"It's the student." Wu Xiaoliang kept his eyes straight and raised his head.Wang Ruxian looked him up and down,

"Very good." Instructed the adjutant next to him, "Take him to go through the admission procedures." Ordinary people would definitely agree, but Wu Xiaoliang said: "Sir, the student has a merciless request."

Wang Ruxian raised his eyebrows, thinking that there was something wrong with him, "Speak."

Wu Xiaoliang said respectfully: "The student wants to take the exam with other candidates to show the officer's fairness."

"Oh?" Wang Ruxian carefully looked at the poorly dressed young man in front of him, and said to himself, your ambition is good, but if you really fail in the examination room, how can I explain to Xu Buwu?

"Think about it, the examination room is ruthless, if I fail the exam, even though I am the head of a school, there is nothing I can do."

Wu Xiaoliang clicked his tongue. The lieutenant general turned out to be the principal of Baoding Military Academy. He didn't want to let him take the exam. He took good care of him. In order to dispel his doubts, he said confidently: "Don't worry, sir, Jiang Baili and Cai Songpo jointly recommended him. Will people be weaker?"

Wang Ruxian was happy, "Okay, okay! You must be frivolous when you are young, I am optimistic about you."

When he came to the admissions office, the second-class adjutant was too scared to come back, so the first-class adjutant took his place and took charge of the initial test.Seeing the principal's personal adjutant personally sending Wu Xiaoliang back, the crowd was in a commotion, and many people turned from sympathy to jealousy. Privileged people were exempted from entrance examinations, and I had to go through the torture of five trials and six generals.

But seeing Wu Xiaoliang filling out the form and going through the examination process, some people were dumbfounded again, wondering if this guy is out of his mind, insisting on crowding the single-plank bridge.

Wu Xiaoliang is not sick, the students who come here to sign up are all the elites of the provinces, he is not a regular candidate for the army to graduate from elementary school to middle school, if he wants to make a name for himself in this place that pays attention to his background, he must have a strong character The ability is dignified to enter the school.

The examination is divided into disciplines and skills. The subjects are written tests, and the skills test outdoor physical fitness and shooting.Wu Xiaoliang didn't spend his days in the military school cafeteria for nothing in the past two months. He had already understood the exam items clearly from the military school students.

……

The exam went on for two days, and Wu Xiaoliang had just passed the result.The fifth phase of the Army Military Academy officially enrolled, and a total of 830 people were assigned to the dormitories of the West Campus, which is affiliated to the South Campus. The West Campus has ten rows of green brick and tile houses with corridors. There is a courtyard with a moon gate on the courtyard wall, and two companies live in each courtyard.

Wu Xiaoliang's first choice was supposed to be the Artillery Division, but because he was not up to the standard, he was assigned to the Infantry Division of the second choice, and the company he belonged to was the Seventh Company of the Infantry Division.

The Seventh Company and the Second Company of the Artillery Division lived in the same hospital. On the day the dormitory was assigned, the school's Military Supply Office sent supplies, two cotton quilts, one cotton mattress, two white sheets, one white straw mat pillow, and an autumn gray military uniform. two sets.Daily necessities include towels, foot cloths, toilet utensils, sewing kits, pens and stationery, etc.

Wu Xiaoliang was packing up, and suddenly he heard someone calling him.

"Brother Weizhong!" It turned out to be Fang Xing who was chasing the thief with him on the streets of Baoding.

"Brother Zhi, it turns out that you also passed the military academy exam, which subject did you take?" Fang Xing was dressed in a gray military uniform a little more heroic than that day.

Fang Xing was very happy to see the ragged beggar change into a gray military uniform and turned into a high-spirited soldier. He waved his hand and said, "Seventh Company of the Infantry Division." , a newspaper leaked out, it was "Suncheon Times".Newspapers are forbidden to be read in Baoding Military Academy, and the consequences will be severe if found.

Liu Fengchi, commander of the Seventh Company of the Infantry Division, entered the dormitory, and Wu Xiaoliang hurriedly stuffed the newspaper under the mattress.Liu Fengchi glanced at Wu Xiaoliang, as if he didn't notice his little movements, he took out his pocket watch and took a look.

"Five minutes later, the commanders will be gathered in the small playground of Shangwutang to give a lecture." Seeing someone still standing there in a daze, he cursed, "Hurry up, don't dawdle, I'll let you all taste the power of military sticks when it's too late."

After scolding, the company commander of the Seventh Company turned around and went out, someone whispered, the company commander seemed very ruthless, and he would be offended in the future.

Wu Xiaoliang said to Fang Xing in a low voice: "Brother Zhi, reading newspapers is forbidden in school, especially newspapers like "Suntian Times" which are not supervised by the government, be careful to be discovered."

Fang Xing looked indifferent, and said, "Brother Weizhong's words are wrong. How can a democratic country deprive the people of the right to read newspapers? My generation joined the army for the freedom of the country and the nation, not for being a lackey slave of one family. "His remarks are too radical, which is very feared by the officers in the conservative Baoding Military Academy.In his speech today, Principal Wang Ruxian mentioned that military meddling in politics is like a sore on the human body. Politics should only obey the orders of President Yuan Da.

Wang Ruxian was Yuan Shikai's Ma Bian in the Qing Dynasty, and he was loyal to Yuan.Yuan Shikai made him the principal of Baoding Military Academy in order to control the source of military officers' thoughts and make them the vanguard of supporting the Hongxian monarchy.However, revolutionary thinking is like a prairie fire. Many of the students were participants in the Wuchang First Uprising, so of course they would not follow along in that brilliant "Hongxian Dream".This makes the atmosphere in the school very weird and tends to intensify.

Although Wu Xiaoliang disapproved of ideological imprisonment, he was not foolish enough to strike a stone with an egg. He persuaded: "Brother Zhi, we all have revolutionary ideals, but we should secretly accumulate strength and make a thunderous blow when we are strong enough."

"This brother is right, accumulating strength is the key." The student in the next berth interrupted, feeling that he was being abrupt, and immediately introduced himself: "Fu Zuoyi, the character is Yisheng."

Fang Xing shook his head in disapproval. Just as he was about to explain himself, Liu Fengchi entered the room again and cursed: "Hurry up the fuck, if you want me to be scolded, you have to see how many sticks you can hold in your ass."
