Chapter 20 Disembarkation (Happy New Year)

It was late at night, and the lights were turned off early in the military camp of the 10th Brigade Brigade. The entire military camp was pitch black. There were only a few places with lights, just like stars dotted in the night sky.

The environment in Chamdo is relatively poor, and they use kerosene lamps or horse lanterns. For most poor people, they go to bed early at night. After all, kerosene also costs money. The fuel they use is all cow dung. The lives of these herdsmen are much better than before. After Wang Xiao occupied the plateau and Xikang, he abolished all the chieftains here and the serf system was also abolished, so that the people of the Fanba people no longer have to be exploited by the chieftains. This makes these simple people respect Wang Xiao very much. In the propaganda of Hinayana Buddhism on the plateau, Wang Xiao even became a guardian of Buddhism.

Although Wang Xiao himself disdained such a claim, the herdsmen believed very much and had completely regarded Wang Xiao as their god.

The office of the 10th Brigade commander was still brightly lit. Two horse lanterns shone the office. At this time, the brigade commander Zhao Bowen of the 10th Brigade and the deputy brigade commander Zhaxi Dorji were drinking around a small table. Although it was only September, the night on the plateau was already very cold, and both were wearing coats. The wine was high-alcohol spirit and the dishes were braised beef. Although it was simple, the two were having a great time drinking.

Soon, Chief of Staff Li Zhuo also pushed open the door and came in. Zhao Bowen quickly took out a wine glass and poured it into the wine.

"Old Li, come and have a drink. Have those little guys settled?" Zhao Bowen handed the wine to Li Zhuo and asked.

With a "silly" sound, Li Zhuo killed the wine in the wine glass in one sip, and then said, "It's all settled. Each of those little guys has been drunk. Some of them will suffer tomorrow!"

"Hehe, it's okay. Since we are soldiers of the 10th Brigade, we naturally have to drink!" Deputy Brigade Commander Tashi Doji said with a smile. His dark face was filled with smiles, and a mouthful of white teeth appeared.

"Where is that person? Isn't it okay?" Zhao Bowen asked.

"It's okay! But Lao Zhao, do we really want him to go to the Third Company of the Second Battalion? Wouldn't that be better if you stay in the brigade headquarters? There won't be any problems like this. It will snow soon. The Third Company's station is not very safe!" Li Zhuo said with some concern.

Zhao Bowen, Tashi Dorji and Li Zhuo, as the heads of the 10th Brigade, they naturally knew Wang Yuze's identity very well. When they learned that the Young Marshal was about to come to serve in their troops, they were both surprised and happy. After all, the Young Marshal came to the 10th Brigade to serve, which means that the Grand Marshal respected their 10th Brigade and valued their 10th Brigade. Otherwise, the Young Marshal would not have been allowed to come here. However, the conditions of the Tenth Brigade were too poor. If the Young Marshal had any three-length and two-defense words in the 10th Brigade, how did they explain to the Grand Marshal and how did they explain to the Tenth Brigade and to the tenth millions of people in the three provinces of western Sichuan!

"That's right, the garrison of the third company of the Second Battalion is in Gasangka. The conditions in that place are ten times worse than those of Changdu. Moreover, it is already the northernmost end of our controlled area, and there are often horse bandits. The Ma family army opposite seems not very restless recently. If there is any problem, we may not be able to rescue it!" Zhaxi Dorji was also a little worried. He is a member of the Fanba tribe. In his heart, Wang Xiao is the god who gives them a better life. Wang Yuze is naturally the son of the god. Naturally, he doesn't want Wang Yuze to go to dangerous places.

"But, what can we do? The commander personally issued a note that the Young Marshal wanted the Third Company of the Second Battalion. Can we still disobey? However, we cannot be careless. Since the Young Marshal has come to the 10th Brigade, we must be fully prepared. Once a crisis occurs, we will immediately rush to rescue. In addition, I think the Zheng has already thought of this. Has the battalion commander of the Second Battalion changed? The new battalion commander Zhang Shusen is from the guard of the Grand Marshal's Mansion. He must have come with the task of protecting the Young Marshal." Brigade Commander Zhao Bowen said.

"Well! But we can't be careless. All the troops of the brigade department must be prepared. If something happens, they must be able to set off immediately. According to colleagues from the military department, the general has issued an order and started the war preparations. Maybe it will take a long time for our war against the Qing court in western Sichuan to start again. At that time, even if our 10th Brigade is not transferred to the east to participate in the war, he will definitely have to attack the north." Chief of Staff Li Zhuo said with a smile.

"That's good! The horse bandits in the north have bullied our herdsmen. If the military headquarters had not ordered the voluntary attack on Qinghai, I would have brought people to kill him long ago!" Deputy Brigade Commander Tashi Dorji shouted.

All of these generals were full of expectations for war. Although there was a war, people would definitely die. However, war also meant military achievements, and this would be the capital for their promotion! Soldiers who did not want to be generals are not good soldiers. Whether it was Zhao Bowen, who was already a brigade general, or Zashi Dorji and Li Zhuo who were just colonel ranks, they were hoping for some progress.

The next day, when Wang Yuze got up, he had a split headache. He probably drank a lot last night, and at least he had to drink about two kilograms of white wine bar! This was completely beyond his alcohol tolerance. No wonder he was drunk like this. In comparison, Wang Wei was much better. Although he was drunk, he was not that powerful.

After Wang Yuze and his team stayed in Changdu for two days, they set off for their respective destiny. The dozen young officers who had just arrived in the 10th Brigade all went their separate ways.

The garrison of the Second Battalion of the 10th Brigade is in Leiwuqi, north of Changdu, a small town with thousands of people gathering. Here, Wang Yuze and Wang Wei met with the battalion commander Zhang Shusen, the battalion commander of the 2nd Battalion, and Gong Zhiqiang, the deputy battalion commander. Zhang Shusen is not very old and looks less than 30 years old. He is very tall and capable. The deputy battalion commander Gong Zhiqiang is about the same age, but he looks a little dark and thin, but he is very enthusiastic. In addition, Gong Zhiqiang also said that he would personally send Wang Yuze and Wang Wei to the third company.

After resting in the battalion headquarters for a night, Wang Yuze and Wang Wei, led by Deputy Battalion Commander Gong Zhiqiang, ran towards the territorial site of the third company. Jiasangka is more than 100 kilometers away from Lewuqi, and it takes three or four hours to ride a horse. When Wang Yuze and Wang Wei arrived, it was already noon.

Gasangka is just a small village. Apart from the Third Company's military station, only dozens of herders gathered here. Moreover, these herders only arrived here for winter in autumn. Once spring is in full bloom, they will go to a place rich in water and grass to graz. This is the first time Wang Yuze has been to such a desolate place. When he thinks that he will stay here for a long time, although he is ready, he still feels a little uncomfortable.

When Wang Yuze and the others came to the gate of the military station, they found that except for the two sentries, an officer from the third company did not see it. Gong Zhiqiang's face was not very good at that time. He had sent someone to notify him yesterday, but he was still like this. Wouldn't this embarrass him? Although he knew that this was not targeting him, it still made him very upset.

Gong Zhiqiang rode his horse and walked into the military station, but the sentry stopped him.

"Chief, who are you looking for?" asked the sentry.

"I am Gong Zhiqiang, I sent your company commander and deputy company commander to take office. Where is your platoon leader?" Gong Zhiqiang asked with a tiger face.

"Report to the deputy battalion commander. The first platoon leader took his men to patrol, and the second platoon leader took his men to chase a group of horse bandits. Only the third platoon leader was there!" the sentry replied.

"Let him come to see me!" Gong Zhiqiang shouted with a tiger face.

"Yes, Deputy Battalion Commander, please wait!" The sentry hurriedly ran to report.

"Company Commander Wang, you're laughing. These soldiers are all rough and don't know any politeness." Gong Zhiqiang said with a smile.

"Deputy Battalion Commander Yan Chong, these soldiers are all simple and good soldiers!" Wang Yuze smiled. However, he realized that the people here seemed to not welcome him very much! Now, he wanted to give him a warning on the first day!
