The Republic of Heroes

Wu Xiaoliang's attitude was extremely firm, and it was hard for everyone to persuade him, but Li Zejun still had a hidden worry that he didn't say.The brigade commander is a major general of the Beiyang Army. Although he has been out of work for many years, he has recently been close to senior officials of the Feng army, which has been considered a precursor to relying on the Feng army. But now that the Feng army has been defeated, he turned around and took refuge Even the southern government is too unjustifiable.

The world will despise him. Being the short acting chairman of the southern military government has confirmed the behavior of Chaoqin Muchu. In the future, it will be rumored that the brigade commander will inevitably end up with the reputation of a repeated villain.Li Zejun said it after thinking about it again and again.Wu Xiaoliang didn't care, waved his hand and said:

"Does Qian Ting think I'm Li Lingzhi fainted? I can tell you responsibly, no! You will understand in the future."

In fact, when he promised Chen Tiaoyuan to go to Shandong, he had already thought of this joint, and the reputation of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages would inevitably be buckled on his head, but now that the wheel of history has turned a corner, it has turned again Roll forward according to the trajectory of the previous life.The Beiyang government has entered the countdown with Zhang Zuolin's death. If they go to the Northeast, Zhang Xueliang's temper and temperament, let alone whether he can tolerate him, even the grudge caused by the death of his father, has become a problem that lies between them. The gulf between the two deepens.

Without saving Zhang Zuolin, according to Wu Xiaoliang's trajectory in his previous life, internal strife among the Feng clan is inevitable, and the Japanese covet the heart of the Northeast more and more day by day.Therefore, the most sensible choice for him now is to gain a foothold and grow stronger, in the hope that in the future he will be able to resist the wheel of history from driving the Japanese crazy towards the fragile land of China.

He can only bury these in the deepest part of his heart and cannot mention them to anyone, so he does not explain much, but only expresses his determination to go to Shandong to take up the post.Li Zejun came to Beijing with the intention of taking Wu Xiaoliang back to Suidong, but how could things have developed to this point? It seems that the brigade commander has made up his mind. Since he has decided to follow in his footsteps, Suidong will never go back, so let him go Let's go to Shandong and see how deep the dragon's pond and tiger's lair are.

"Brigade Commander, do you want to send troops here in Suidong to build momentum?"

Wu Xiaoliang thought for a while and still shook his head, "I still don't want it. First, there is too little time. Second, if the Soviets find out about the large-scale deployment of troops, it will cause a lot of trouble. It will not be worth the loss." The original treaty Today, it is like shackles and golden hoops that restrict him from time to time, that is, he cannot return to the lost ground he recovered with one hand, to create and realize the ideals of the year, and he cannot bring the soldiers he trained back then to kill the enemy and resist humiliation. In his own country, such absurd things just happened, this feeling is something that Wu Xiaoliang never experienced in his previous life anyway.

"Get ready, get some rest early, tomorrow we will leave Beijing and go south to Shandong. Everything that needs to be prepared must be prepared in advance, otherwise you will be caught blind when things come to an end. Go, don't stay here and dawdle !"

Wu Xiaoliang drove out a group of people, but he couldn't sit still. He would rescue the military police who were detained in the former Fengjun Gendarmerie Headquarters no matter what, no matter if they followed him or wanted to stay.So, I went to another courtyard to discuss the matter with Colonel Li.For the time being, Colonel Li was arranged by Chen Tiaoyuan to follow Wu Xiaoliang with him for protection. Firstly, he was afraid that those from the Jin army would come to make trouble, and secondly, he wanted to monitor nearby. Wu Xiaoliang just didn't know about it.

Originally, when he left the Gendarmerie Command, Wu Xiaoliang expressed his desire to rescue all the detained Gendarmerie on the way back. At this time, he opened up and said that Colonel Li had already made up his mind, "Since the general sent me, please wait a moment." , I will go out and have a try.”

Colonel Li didn't say how to do it, and Wu Xiaoliang didn't ask, he waited until the evening when the lights were lit, and then hurried back, Wu Xiaoliang knew the matter was done as soon as he entered the room by looking at his face.

"Everything is in place, and tomorrow we can go through the handover procedures and release people."

On the second day, when Wu Xiaoliang brought Li Zejun and Colonel Li to the gendarmerie headquarters again, the guards outside had already withdrawn without a trace.A few people got out of the car, saw the door was ajar, pushed the door open, and saw nearly a hundred people lined up in ten squares, standing quietly in the yard.Among these people, the military police captain had the highest rank, so he naturally became the temporary commander of this team.

When the captain of the gendarmerie saw Wu Xiaoliang and others entering the hospital, he immediately ran to him and stood still to salute.

"Report sir, 98 members of the military police company are waiting for inspection!"

"Very good Captain, time is running out, immediately organize everyone to follow me!"

"Yes" the captain of the gendarmerie saluted again.

Wu Xiaoliang knew very well that he was a stranger to those who planned to follow him. The reason why they no longer returned to Fengtian was because they were ruthlessly abandoned by Fengjun, and they felt resentful towards Fengtian.The second point is also very important. The captain of the gendarmerie had confessed to Wu Xiaoliang in private that day. Many people in the gendarmerie who had neither parents nor married families in the Northeast wanted to follow him.

Therefore, in terms of motivation, Wu Xiaoliang, the guard who had just surrendered, was unstable. He stood in the courtyard and said to the soldiers: "Come with me to Shandong, and I, Wu Xiaoliang, promise to let you have a house within one year. If you have wives, as for sons, it’s up to you!”

Everyone originally thought that General Wu was going to say something official, but who knew that he made such a straightforward promise, and everyone burst out laughing at the end.

"Sir, are we going to Shandong to fight Han Fuju?"

"Needless to say, I will be the first to rush up to fight Han Fuju."

……

Feng Jun and Yan Xishan's Jin Army and Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army had accumulated a lot of grievances due to the melee for many years. When they heard that they were going to Shandong, they naturally thought that they were going to fight Han Fuju. With this guess, some people were eager to try and gear up.

On June [-], Wu Xiaoliang took a special train with Chen Tiaoyuan to go south on Yanjinpu Road to Shandong.Since the war had just ended, the Jinpu Road north of the Yellow River was cut off from time to time, and it was not until July [-] that they crossed the Yellow River intermittently.

After crossing the Yellow River is Jinan, the capital of Shandong, but at this time Jinan is still in the hands of the Sixth Division of the Japanese Army. Even Han Fuju has no choice but to retreat to Tai'an. Where should he go at this time?What Chen Tiaoyuan meant was to ask him to bypass Jinan and go to Tai'an to find Han Fuju, where he first set up the provincial government's stall, and then made a long-term plan.

But Wu Xiaoliang knew in his heart that once he went to Tai'an, his group of people would definitely fall under Han Fuju's control, and they would inevitably end up being involuntary and slaughtered by others.The most important thing is that he has never dealt with Han Fuju, and he doesn't know his temperament, nor does he know his attitude towards him as the acting chairman of the Shandong Provincial Government, so it would be too reckless to go hastily.

With Chen Tiaoyuan's shrewdness, how could he fail to understand the reason, besides the idea of ​​sending him into the tiger's mouth, what is his intention?
