The Republic of Heroes

In February of the sixth year of the Republic of China, rumors began to circulate in Baoding Military Academy that Prime Minister Duan had a disagreement with President Le University because he insisted on severing diplomatic relations with Germany and participating in the European War.

In May, Li Yuanhong sent a telegram across the country to forcibly remove Duan Qirui as Premier.Due to the intensified contradictions among the heads of government, there is a sense of unrest brewing in the school. The principal Yang Zude had to order that all military students are forbidden to discuss state affairs, but Yang's behavior is tight on the outside and loose on the inside, and the ban is useless once it comes out.

Just when everyone thought that Duan Qirui's resignation was a foregone conclusion, Li Yuanhong took over the power, and a shocking event spread to Baoding.Braid commander Zhang Xun took advantage of the mediation of the court to send troops to Beijing to put President Li Yuanhong under house arrest, welcome the abolished emperor Puyi to the throne, and restore the Qing Dynasty.

When the news came, the military students were outraged, and some staunch republicans scolded Li Yuanhong for being a traitor to the country and Zhang Xun as a thief.Wu Xiaoliang felt that this was an excellent opportunity. According to the memories of his previous life, Duan Qirui would send a telegram to the whole country to crusade against Zhang Xun. Why didn't he use this to mobilize the military students to protect the country.In the previous life in Huangpu, there were military cadets marching eastward. If he can help Baoding cadets protect the country, what a feat and honor it would be. Needless to say, the future will be bright after he succeeds.

In front of the Martial Arts Hall of Baoding Military Academy, military students lined up neatly.

"Your Excellency, Principal, Prime Minister Duan is fighting hard in Tianjin. All the students in the fifth period ask for orders to go out to protect the country. Please issue an order to agree with the principal." The morale of the students was high, and Fang Qidao strode up to Yang Zude and pleaded loudly.

Yang Zude showed embarrassment, and lightly reprimanded, "Students should take learning as their first duty, and go back to class."

Fang Qidao retorted: "The country's thieves are in power, and the Republic will be forgotten. How can I go to class? Is it possible that I have to kneel down to that child in the Forbidden City?"

Wu Xiaoliang came out and saluted Yang Zude: "I implore the principal to order the Baoding students to send troops to protect the country!"

"Nonsense!" Yang Zude ignored them and left in a huff. Now that the bosses have not made a statement, how dare he, a small military academy principal, make such a head?The superintendent of education and adjutants saw that the principal was gone, and they trotted away from Shangwu Hall with their heads down.

The military students started to boil, Wu Xiaoliang immediately organized everyone to meet in the dormitory, don't act rashly.

"Weizhong, the principal disagrees, what can we do?" Fang Qidao was a little discouraged.

Fu Zuoyi remained silent, Wu Xiaoliang made up his mind, gritted his teeth and said, "Organize the students to vote voluntarily to be expelled from the military academy tonight. If the principal disagrees, shall we not protect the country?" Military academy, protect the country."

After the model regiment incident, Wu Xiaoliang's reputation in the Seventh Company was unprecedentedly high, and the students trusted this platoon leader who dared to act for them.The company commander who is an instructor often complains that his speech as a company commander is not as powerful as that of a platoon leader.

Fang Qidao turned from worry to joy, and nodded vigorously: "I will organize other military students and make sure to complete the task before the lights are turned off." Wu Xiaoliang knows that Fang Qidao has his own small circle, so he will definitely not be disappointed if he goes

Fu Zuoyi looked at Fang Qidao's back leaving excitedly and said, "Weizhong, is it necessary to take the risk?"

"Brother Yisheng, troubled times are imminent, and a man should give it a go. If you shrink your hands and feet, it will be difficult to achieve great things. Who wants to spend the rest of your life sitting on the head-kowtow of the Manqing children?" Made up my mind.

All 63 members of the Seventh Company were ready to go. Before the lights were turned off, Qidao mobilized nearly half of the students in the fifth class to gather in the open space outside the dormitory. Everyone discussed the establishment of the Baoding Military Academy National Protection Detachment and publicly elected Wu Xiaoliang as the team leader. Without hesitation, the entire detachment was divided into four companies according to the original military department, and the company commander of the first company, the company commander of the second company Fu Zuoyi, Wu Keren was the platoon leader of the second company of the artillery department, and he served as the company commander of the third company formed by the original artillery company. There is no objection.The Fourth Company was headed by Chen Xiuyan, and it was completely beyond Wu Xiaoliang's expectations that this dude could actively join the National Defense Detachment.

At the beginning of the National Defense Detachment's establishment, the military students only had passion, and they didn't know where they should go.Wu Xiaoliang has memories from his previous life. Of course, he knows that Duan Qirui will soon take an oath in Machang, but the situation in the entire Zhili Province is unknown, and many powerful factions will hold a wait-and-see attitude, so the troops he can mobilize are really limited. Leading the entire detachment to Tianjin is tantamount to sending charcoal in a timely manner.Although the National Defense Detachment of Baoding Military Academy is small in number, it is of great significance. He represents the aspirations of the young generation of military officers in China.

The instructors on duty at Baoding Military Academy hid when they saw the storm was coming, because they had the experience of mutiny several times before, and the detachment was unimpeded in the military academy.Wu Xiaoliang led everyone to share the training horses in the stables, so that they could rush to Tianjin overnight.

"Students, let's go!" Wu Xiaoliang shouted loudly.

"The national defense detachment will win!" Wu Keren shouted hoarsely.

Immediately, the students responded loudly, and soon turned into a collective shout, "We must win! We must win! We must win!"

The students of the military academy were like a rainbow, and the sound of victory spread to every corner of the military academy. Some timid people thought that the mutiny was imminent, and they were trembling with fright.

Wu Xiaoliang's national defense detachment left Baoding, advanced at full speed, and went straight to Tianjin Horse Factory from the main road.

At this moment, Duan Qirui is worrying about the army.Zhili Governor Zhu Jiabao and Police Chief Yang Yide believed that Duan Qirui had lost power, so they were very indifferent to him and ignored him.The only troops he can currently mobilize are Wang Ruxian's 16th Division stationed in Machang, Tianjin and Feng Yuxiang's No.[-] Mixed Brigade stationed in Langfang.Neither of these two troops belonged to the Anhui faction of his Duan faction. Wang Ruxian was a direct descendant of Yuan Shikai, and he had no contact with Feng Yuxiang on weekdays, so he could only win over with high-ranking positions. Only then did people readily agree to send troops.

On the other hand, Duan Qirui sent Zhang Guogan to Baoding to win over Cao Kun, only waiting for Cao Laoshi to nod and he would be done.

Xu Shuzheng hurried over: "Mr. Zhi, happy event, unexpected happy event."

"What's the matter?" Since Duan Qirui took charge of the State Council, everything went wrong inside and outside, and he was exhausted physically and mentally. Now he finally realized the suffering of the former president.

"Baoding Military Academy took the lead in expressing support for Mr. Zhi, and formed a detachment to protect the country. It has already arrived at Machang this morning. After hearing Mr. Zhi's dispatch."

"Oh?" It was really a pleasant surprise. It is expected that the number of students in the military academy must not be large, so it cannot influence the overall situation, but he represents the hearts of the people, and the meaning is not just the support of a few hundred people.

"Isn't this like Yang Ziyin's style of acting?" Duan Qirui knew Yang Zude well, and this matter definitely could not have been written by him.
