Volume Two, Crossing the Sea, Chapter Five, Temporary Institutions

Across the Sea Chapter 5 Temporary System

It was already afternoon, and the patrol camp was completely silent. Thousands of officers and soldiers stayed in the barracks. Outside were the new troops with guns in their hands. The officers and soldiers of the patrol camp were not too nervous as they waited for their fate to be judged. Most people had the same idea.

If you serve as a soldier and get food, who should you do it with? But it was already afternoon, and no meal was served, so I guess the gentlemen didn't have time to take care of them for the time being.

The old drunk with a stubble on his face squatted at the door of the barracks and smoked the cigarette he rolled silently. No one knew the real name of the old drunk, but they knew that this guy was always drunk no matter what, and he always had this gourd hanging around his waist.

It's full of wine.

Lao Zui was probably the oldest low-level officer in the battalion. According to reports, he was from the Lao Huai Army. The old soldier looked numbly at the outside of the camp, and a group of soldiers behind him also followed suit.

A group of people came to the playground outside the camp and set up a big pot to boil water. Looking at the formation, the soldiers started talking about what they were going to do. Lao Zui, who was always taciturn, stood up and said: "What are you arguing about? Clean up and get ready."

Let’s have lunch. Let me tell you, can you continue to eat this bowl of rice? This lunch will give me some energy today.”

Lao Zui was quite prestigious in this shed. As soon as he shouted, the soldiers went back to clean up. A soldier approached Lao Zui and asked: "Boss, why do you have to clean up after eating?"

Lao Zui hummed and said: "You have never seen the soldiers around Mr. Fang, who are still neatly dressed in the hot sun. If you can really eat like this under Mr. Fang's command, your ancestors have accumulated good deeds."

As he spoke, Lao Zui showed a look of fascination.

Several soldiers from the New Army came and shouted with loudspeakers in their hands: "The cooks in the camp have come out to help. Can't you see that everyone is busy?" This voice confirmed that the lunch was in order, and the soldiers were happy.

Get up, huh, this guy came out and dozens of people came out to help.

The steamer was set up on the big pot, and soon the butchers in the city were driving the car to deliver the unsold pork. The loud ones were still shouting: "Good guy, the soldiers came to the door. I was almost scared to death. Who?"

I know that people throw silver dollars to buy meat. I don't want the money. I have never seen such a kind and righteous soldier in these years."

These words aroused a lot of resonance. These butchers were all taken out of their homes by soldiers to buy meat. They dropped the silver coins and told them to give them away, and then left. The butchers hurriedly picked them up.

After verifying the authenticity of the silver dollar, he pulled the hanging pork from the well and pushed it to its place on a cart.

The steamed buns were steamed, and the large chunks of meat were put into the pot. The aroma soon made people want to die. The trumpets in the hands of several new soldiers who were involved in the matter were still shouting: "This is what Mr. Fang has given to the brothers."

It’s prepared. Eat well, take a good rest, and don’t cause trouble!”

The helpful soldier took the opportunity to ask: "Master, does he know if Mr. Fang still wants us?"

The soldier raised his hand and called to a scholar wearing glasses: "Ask him!"

The scholar soldier came over and explained with a smile: "It's not easy to stay as a soldier and make a living. Mr. Fang is organizing the paperwork. Brothers from the patrol camp can stay on their own initiative. Those who don't want to stay will be given two silver dollars as severance pay. Those who are willing to stay will be given a severance pay of two silver dollars.

It's troublesome. There is a three-month probationary period. Those who cannot satisfy the instructors have to be sent out. If you want me, everyone must be more energetic in the future. Five yuan a month is a lot of money. See these food

No. I was left like this almost every day."

After these words, the soldiers were all moved and worked harder and harder.

In Zui Qionglou, the lunch was very simple. Each person had a big bowl of shredded pork noodles. After finishing the meal, he smacked his lips and said, "Meeting!"

"A person's mental capacity is limited. Only by working together can things be done well. The reminder just mentioned by Commander Gui is very good. I was thinking that the brothers in the patrol camp did not have lunch. This is how a leader looks like. Everyone must learn a lot from Commander Gui!" Fang Jianxiong took the lead in applauding, and all the officers applauded. Gui Danqi felt a little embarrassed, and quickly handed over his hands and said: "Your Excellency, you are exaggerating, I am just filling in the gaps. Compared to you, I There is a long way to go, everyone should learn from it and follow the example of adults."

Fang Jianxiong raised his hand, everyone fell silent, and continued: "Everyone has read the plan for this reorganization. The First Division of the Anhui Revolutionary Army and the Anqing Security Division, these two units will be the main force to defend Anqing in the future. Revolutionary The organization and equipment of the First Division of the Army mainly adopt the organization of the German army. The total number of people is about 12,000. The division commander is Gui Danchi, the deputy division commander and chief of staff Li Qianyu. The two brigade commanders are Wang Jinglue and Li Yifeng, and the other units Chief Officer, please make an announcement, Master Gui."

Fang Jianxiong made a gesture towards Gui Danchi. Gui Danchi knew that Fang Jianxiong was giving him a chance to establish his prestige. He was secretly grateful and secretly thought that he must train this team, otherwise he would really not be able to trust Fang Jianxiong and still be so unfaithful. What good equipment, and the designation of the First Division.

The reorganization meeting lasted all afternoon, and there was not much controversy. The officers were basically from the training team, and everyone wore a pistol with their name engraved on it as a gift from Fang Jianxiong. The loyalty of the officers was not a problem at all.

After the meeting, Fang Jianxiong returned to the governor's office. Han Yan had already settled in. He came over to ask for instructions: "Sir, are the schools in Anqing currently sending someone to arrest the propaganda work? As the propaganda minister, I cannot live without my subordinates."

Fang Jianxiong was very angry with Han Yan and asked him to sit down first before saying: "This is a good idea! I have a few suggestions that you can consider. Young people are very enthusiastic. You can organize them and select some leaders from them to let them Help with work. You can give them a certain salary as a subsidy. You might as well let them come up with their own ideas for what specific things to do. The general direction is to promote the Republic of China and the benefits after overthrowing the Manchu Qing Dynasty. For example, the Lijin and various miscellaneous cases will be completely abolished soon. Donations, and democratically elected governments, etc. There are many illiterate people in China, so it is difficult to promote it, but as long as we persist and promote it among the people, one day the ideas of democracy and freedom will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people."

After hearing these words, Han Yan couldn't help but think thoughtfully: "Why don't you take the post of military governor yourself?"

Fang Jianxiong waved his hand and said with a smile: "What kind of talk is it about soldiers intervening in politics? Are there still few elites in the Central Government? By the way, you can ask Wang Tianpei and Guan Peng to tell them how many key officers the Anqing Security Division still lacks. Whether you are willing to do it or not. The main responsibility of the security guard is to maintain the place, and the equipment may be a bit poor."

Han Yan was secretly surprised. He didn't expect that Fang Jianxiong could still provide a security guard to the Alliance. This magnanimity was amazing. At this time, someone came in and reported: "Sir, Wuchang has received electricity and issued a "National Proclamation" to announce the restoration of the country. , a call for response.”

Fang Jianxiong casually handed the telegram to Han Yan and said: "Mr. Han drafts a telegram announcing Anqing's response! Send it out immediately!"

Han Yan smiled and said, "Okay, I'm good at this!" He immediately started drafting a telegram, and within a moment, a telegram was ready. Fang Jianxiong watched from the side and felt very happy when he saw his good calligraphy.

I'm envious. Fang Jianxiong's pen calligraphy is okay, but his brush calligraphy is average.

"The Manchu Qing Dynasty usurped China and enslaved our Han people for more than two hundred years, which caused the regression of civilization. Our five-thousand-year civilization of China is far behind the world!..." A telegram from Anhui announcing the uprising was transmitted to China via radio waves.

Nationwide, the Anqing Uprising Headquarters announced that Anqing was restored and responded to the Wuchang Revolution. A name called Fang Jianxiong appeared more and more in people's eyes in this great era of great changes.

On the 14th, the Advisory Council meeting ended and the establishment of the Anhui Provincial People's Government was officially announced! The new government will have one governor, Dou Yijue, two deputy governors, Tong Yifang and Hong Siliang, and the secretary-general of the provincial government is Wuhu MP Tang Shanfu. The parliament also

It was decided to set a day for the parliament to elect a chief executive to show the integrity of the judiciary. On the other hand, Fang Jianxiong proposed the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, which would be directly responsible to the parliament. This resolution will also have to wait for the next parliament to pass it.

Anhui once again called on electricity to announce the establishment of a government. This government was different from the military government in Wuchang, which immediately attracted national attention. Especially in Shanghai, foreigners had a strong interest in the system of the Anhui Provincial People's Government. A large number of media reporters,

They rushed to Anqing one after another, and various newspapers in Shanghai published a large number of reports on the problems of the Anhui government.

On the 15th, Anhui's first nationally distributed newspaper "Huaxia Daily" released its first issue. The name of the newspaper was finally determined to mean Han Yan, and he thought it would be better. Fang Jianxiong followed the good example and accepted an exclusive interview with the newspaper.

The front page of the first issue is an exclusive interview with Fang Jianxiong. Some of Fang Jianxiong's words have become the most talked about content in Anqing City. Young people always say: "Sir Fang, soldiers must not interfere in politics, otherwise there will be endless disasters." "Sir Fang.

, talk less about doctrines and do more practical things." "Sir, Mr. Fang, my generation of soldiers shoulder the great responsibility of national rejuvenation. I hope to fight less or even no civil war."

While newspapers were making noise, Fang Jianxiong had already set off back to Wuhu on the night of the 17th. Before leaving, Fang Jianxiong had the imprisoned officers and officials escorted to Wuhu. He announced to the outside world that he would release them all when the matter was settled.

Wuhu, in fact, has been busy since the 13th. The number of "bandits" gathered from all directions actually reached more than 29,000. Including the patrol camps in various counties, when Fang Jianxiong returned to Wuhu

On this day, the total military strength reached more than 38,000 people.

This time, Li Muyan and the two foreigners Janson and Paulus who were staying in Wuhu were busy. Although there were sufficient preparations, so many people came for one guy, and the prepared military camp outside the city could not accommodate them. In the end, we had to make a temporary move.

Place some "bandits" along the road leading to Jiangning, and prioritize the reorganization of these bandits, while guarding the direction of Jiangning. Wuhu is really too close to Jiangning. This is an advantage and a disadvantage. (To be continued. If
