The Republic of Heroes

"Mr. Zhi expected it right. Yang Ziyin, an old fox, has both sides. How could he come up with such a head? The leader is Wu Weizhong, who took the lead in handing over the model regiment weapons last time." Xu Shuzheng did not hide the excitement on his face.

"Oh?" Duan Qirui heard that it was Wu Xiaoliang who pondered for a while and said slowly: "This son acts boldly and seems to be reckless, but in fact he thinks first." Xu Shuzheng nodded in agreement, "Why don't Zhigong meet him? "

Duan Qirui glanced at Xu Shuzheng and said with a smile: "Youzheng has discovered a good talent, of course I want to see him. Given time, this son will definitely be the leader in the world."

Tianjin Machang Town is located along the Jinpu Road, in the traffic arteries, it was originally a Huai army barracks.It was nearly dawn when Wu Xiaoliang led his troops to arrive, and a group of cavalry from the Beiyang Army in gray uniforms came to intercept them, and the student soldiers of the national defense detachment suddenly became nervous.

"Where does the army in front belong to? Report the designation number." One of the captain officers of the Beiyang Army galloped up to rein in their horses and asked.

"We are the cadet army of Baoding Military Academy. We came to Tianjin to listen to Prime Minister Duan's dispatch to attack Zhang Ni." Wu Xiaoliang informed the purpose of coming, but did not report his own number of the national protection detachment. The name of the national protection detachment was said to boost the morale of his own people. But also, informing others is unavoidable to be ridiculed and overestimated.

The captain officer's face eased a lot, "It turns out that you are a military student, and this is the station of the Eighth Division. I will inform the division commander before I can arrange you to wait." Seeing that they have no weapons, although they are in military uniform and lead everyone on horseback, don't worry. Come, order the messenger to report back.

It turned out to be Wang Dachou's Beiyang Eighth Division, and the student soldiers of the National Defense Detachment breathed a sigh of relief.The adjutant of the division quickly came to resettle the student army and divide them into camps.When Wang Ruxian heard that it was the students of Baoding Military Academy who sent troops to fight against rebellion, his scalp became numb. Could it be that the students are rebelling again?Therefore, he attached great importance to it and ordered his adjutant to bring their leaders to the division headquarters.Seeing that it was Wu Xiaoliang, he laughed loudly and said, "Well, you bold Wu Weizhong."

Wu Xiaoliang took off his military cap and bowed straight, "Student Wu Xiaoliang has met the principal."

After listening to Wu Xiaoliang's ins and outs, Wang Ruxian slapped the table: "Soldiers should be like this. I am optimistic about you in Weizhong." Then he immediately called Xu Shuzheng to report the matter.

Duan Qirui attached great importance to the Baoding student army, so he called Wang Ruxian himself and asked him to arrange the students' board and lodging. He would come to review the troops in person in the afternoon.Of course he didn't just come to see Wu Xiaoliang. No matter how much the Premier of the State Council cherishes talents, he will not condescend to such an extent. Reviewing the Beiyang Eighth Division is the real purpose, but he can set Wu Xiaoliang as a model, a modern-day military officer He is a model for the students, and since then he has received the hearts of the students of the Beiyang Military Academy. As the so-called Qianjin City is a horse bone, it is not so important whether Wu Xiaoliang is a good horse or a horse bone.Duan Qirui would not expect these yellow-haired boys who had never participated in a battle to regain Beijing City, and they had to rely on their old Beiyang troops to fight the tough battle.

Zhang Guogan sent a telegram from Baoding that Cao Kun, the governor of Zhili, had promised to send troops to fight against rebellion. In exchange, he would serve as vice president after success.At this point, Duan Qirui felt that he had the chance to win.In the afternoon, he appeared in the large playground of the horse factory station wearing a general's coat.The soldiers of the Eighth Division put on brand-new gray uniforms, carried German Mauser rifles on their shoulders, and lined up neatly waiting for the general to speak.Suddenly, a trumpet sounded, and a neat gray phalanx came slowly from the side of the playground, with a loud slogan: "Support the Prime Minister, protect the country and fight against rebellion!"

The 400 people shouted the eight words, "Support the Prime Minister, protect the country and fight against rebellion!" Every eight steps forward, these eight words resounded over the playground.The soldiers of the Beiyang Eighth Division were also infected, and they shouted, until thousands of people in the entire playground shouted in unison.

"Support the prime minister, protect the country and fight against rebellion!" It went on for a long time.

Duan Qirui turned from surprise to excitement, and asked Wang Ruxian: "Shaofu, which army is this?"

Wang Ruxian was also confused, thinking, this is most likely a moth from Wu Weizhong, when he was thinking about how to answer, Xu Shuzheng pointed at the head of the phalanx, and said with a smile: "Look, general, the leader on horseback is Wu Weizhong .”

Wu Xiaoliang's dress was straight, he was riding on a large oriental horse, he held his command saber high, and the infantry phalanx under his command was neat and uniform, and he could tell at a glance that he had undergone rigorous training.The infantry phalanx of the national defense detachment stopped for eight steps in front of the general's platform, turned their heads to greet the reviewing generals, and then chanted slogans and walked forward quickly, and quickly stood still on the edge of the playground, waiting for the general to speak.

Duan Qirui was born in the Beiyang Army, and he has a deep affection for the army. The soldiers of the whole division shouted to support the Prime Minister, which moved him.he cleared his throat,

"Heavenly disaster for China, Zhang Ni's ambitions, under the guise of mediation, took advantage of the unpreparedness of the people to overthrow the national system, but the country's establishment is difficult, and the people will suffer once after the reform. Today, Qirui will lead all the powerful comrades to eliminate Ji Dian, plow through the thief's lair..."

Duan Qirui was impassioned and couldn't calm down for a long time.Xu Shuzheng thought to himself, when will I have today?

After the lecture, Wu Xiaoliang held up his knife and shouted: "Long live the Prime Minister, we must win against rebellion." The entire national protection detachment also shouted, and the emotions of all the soldiers rose again, and the slogans rang throughout the horse factory.Wang Ruxian clicked his tongue, hey, is this still my army? They never shouted so hard when they supported me.

Duan Qirui pressed his hands down, signaling for silence, and the playground soon became quiet again. He pointed at Wu Xiaoliang, "Are you Wu Weizhong, a student from Baoding Military Academy?"

Wu Xiaoliang immediately took a step forward, "It's the student."

Duan Qirui is very satisfied with this young man, he is good at boosting morale, "How difficult the country is, if you can stand up, you should be a model for the world. Come forward." He took off his command saber, "This sword follows me For many years, I will give it to you today to kill more bandits and serve the country."

Wu Xiaoliang was overwhelmed by the flattery, and hurriedly took the saber respectfully to salute and thank him.

Xu Shuzheng asked, "Grandpa Zhi gave Wu Weizhong such a high honor, how should he be placed?"

Duan Qirui smiled and said, "Dong Haibin's battalion hasn't been found yet, has it?"

"Mr. Zhi wants Wu Weizhong to go to the model regiment?" Xu Shuzheng didn't expect that Duan Qirui had such a plan. He intended to transfer Wu's troops to his command, so as to get rid of the embarrassment of not having any direct descendants.

"It's not a battalion, it's a regiment. Let him be the leader of the model regiment. Those thorns have to be sharpened with thorns. After sharpening, they will be sharp."

That night, the appointment was sent to the detachment headquarters. The first battalion of the former model regiment headquarters and the fourth company of military students belonged to Wu Xiaoliang, and the designation was changed to the fifth mixed regiment.Such an extraordinary promotion surprised everyone, and directly appointed the head of the regiment. The general is so generous.However, some people analyzed that the post of major is the battalion commander, and the rank of regimental commander should be colonel. Duan Qirui's low rank and high rank have a lot of meaning.

Seeing the appointment, Fu Zuoyi joked: "Weizhong, this time you have become the leader of the model regiment."
