Chapter 516 Returning Army's Final Military Meeting
On February 18, Dong Zhiyuan's Hui Army held a meeting in Xiaojin Town. The four battalions led by Ma Zhenghe, Bai Yanhu, Yu Yanlu, and Cui Wei, as well as other capable commanders Yu Deyan, Feng Junfu, Ma Changshun, Yang Wenzhi, and Ma Zhenggang
,
Ma Shengyan, Bi Dacai, Yan Xingchun, Lan Mingtai, Ha Lianjin, Zou Baohe, Zhang Daiyu, Ma Weixiang and others all came from the towns or forts where they were stationed. The four marshals were about to make a final decision that affected the life and death of Dong Zhiyuan's return to the army.
Decide.
The Huijun is an organization at all levels formed by soldiers from all walks of life during the battle. They are promoted to the position of marshal by virtue of their strength and prestige. The four marshals are the four eldest brothers. Whichever eldest brother you follow must be loyal to the end.
The two defeated generals, Zou Baohe and Feng Junfu, finally entered the large yurt and sat on the floor, and the meeting began.
With his weather-beaten face, Ma Zhenghe looked around at the brothers and said with a smile: "Brothers, don't be depressed. Victory or defeat is a common thing for a military strategist. We have strategic depth to retreat. I have called you here this time to tell you about the four of us.
A decision made by a commander-in-chief. You have all seen the current situation of Dong Zhiyuan. Due to the constraints of the geographical environment, our troops could not be deployed, but they were eliminated.
The demons were defeated one by one. So in the end, we decided to move to Jinjibao. In order to allow more people to move, I decided that Commander Cui and I would break up the rear, and the two commanders Bai Yanhu and Yu Yanlu would lead the transfer of more than 100,000 people.
.The purpose of asking you to come is to make a list of who will stick to it and who will follow the two commanders Bai Yanhu and Yu Yanlu to retreat. We will take action in five days."
With such a handsome husband, there is nothing more to ask for. No one else has any objections to staying and enduring a narrow escape. Bai Yanhu raised his head and looked at Bai Yanhu. He was really as cunning as a fox. He was stationed at Yanxi'ao, ten miles north of Xifeng Town, Dong Zhiyuan, just for the convenience of oiling the soles of his feet. Bai Yanhu
Those who will never stay and defend are the best at escaping.[
The Fourth Commander Cui Wei is a famous hero in the Hui Army. Heroes from all walks of life rush to join him, but there are also times when a hero is short of breath. His subordinates Yu Deyan, Bi Dacai, Lan Mingtai, and Zou Baohe all show their loyalty to him.
Qingshan didn't worry about the meaning of having no firewood, so he asked him to make a decision as soon as possible. Only the fifteenth handsome Harian Jin was still determined to be loyal to the end, and he still looked righteous.
Since we are staying behind, we must be whole-hearted. There should be room for everyone to get to know each other. Cui Wei stroked his beard and said, "Halian Jin, you should lead your tribe to follow Bai Yanhu in retreat. I don't need so many soldiers here."
Ma Zou Baohe, Lan Mingtai and you are stationed in Taichang Town, Yu Deyan, Bi Dacai and I are stationed in Zhengping Town to protect the flanks of Dongzhi County."
Yu Deyan, Bi Dacai, Lan Mingtai, Zou Bao and several other marshals also objected and had already guessed what Cui Wei's plan was. Harianjin obeyed orders readily and it would be good to have a way out of the encirclement.
The other commanders had their own destiny and obeyed the arrangements of the four commanders. Soon a military meeting ended and the assigned tasks were completed.
Ma Zhenghe slapped his thigh and said calmly and generously: "Okay! Since the meeting went so well, I will do my best to be a landlord and get drunk."
"That's a good relationship. We haven't gotten together for a long time." Bai Yanhu was quite satisfied with the outcome of the meeting. His camp retreated first and the losses were negligible.
In Ma Zhenghe's large yurt, a grand banquet was being held to welcome the arrival of heroes from all walks of life. In addition to sumptuous tea and hand-caught mutton, the delicious food at the banquet also included a young horse specially killed to show the grandeur. Because there were
The marshal was also accompanied by his wife. The guests at the meeting were divided into two places, that is, into two large circles based on gender. Everyone sat on the floor. Judging from their expressions, no one looked like a defeated person.
.
At the beginning of the banquet, Ma Zhenghe gave the first speech. Generally speaking, in normal times, Ma Zhenghe is the kind of person who is serious about words and always maintains the dignity of a handsome man. But today was different from usual. He was chatting and laughing from the beginning and seemed very lively.
.When we meet, we part ways. Ma Zhenghe has the determination to die as a hero.
Ma Zhenghe said: "I don't know how to express my feelings at the moment. We often compare tigers to a symbol of strength. Now we have so many tigers coming to us. How great this is for the great action we are about to start.
Encouragement. Pray to God to bless us to be victorious and invincible!"
A burst of applause interrupted Ma Zhenghe's words, and then he spoke some words of praise. Others not only loved Marshal Ma Zhenghe but also admired him. Those marshals with evil intentions were ashamed, and some of them had planned to defect on the battlefield.
The marshals spied on each other, wondering if the other would betray themselves.
Ma Zhenghe invited Bai Yanhu to speak, and Bai Yanhu pretended to be humble and said: "Marshal Ma, you are so grateful. I really can't bear this heavy responsibility. Although I, Bai Yanhu, have been in the army for many years, my life has been bumpy and my achievements have been very little. I feel very ashamed. This time
I am the one who organizes the great strategic shift. You all think highly of me. I will do my best to lead the heroes back to the army.
Create a road to victory. But if Marshal Ma hadn’t been here in Dongzhi County to hold on, I would have gone to heaven and into the gate of earth. Therefore, I sincerely thank Marshal Ma for paving this road to freedom for us, and I sincerely thank you for your kindness.
During the reception, Yu Yanlu and I are at Jinjibao, waiting for the moment when Marshal Ma breaks through the siege and gathers together. Drink this cup to the full!"
"Fuck!" The people in the circle sang congratulations together. Ma Zhenghe was very proud after hearing this, but on the surface he also pretended to be very humble and said repeatedly: "I don't dare to do it, I don't dare to do it, Yu Yanlu, Bai Yanhu, don't be polite, it's all for the sake of the nation.
Daye, I also want to thank you for leaving a spark for our Dong Zhiyuan's return to the army. During the greetings, Yu Yanlu and Bai Yanhu talked about the withdrawal.
Yu Deyan, Bi Dacai, Lan Mingtai, Zou Baohe and others greatly appreciated the strategic deployment of retreat, praising them for their resourcefulness and being worthy of being masters of adapting to changes. Secretly preparing to pass the news to the Qing army, they were attacked by the Qing army.
Terrified, he made up his mind to revolt and prepared to reveal the contents of tonight's military meeting to the deputy commander of the Qing army, Xu Zhanbiao.
At this time, the guards came into the yurt carrying plates of hot mutton. Ma Zhenghe asked everyone to wash their hands and eat.
When the men happily munched and their mouths were full of oil, the women praised the tenderness and deliciousness of the horse meat. The young horses under one year old were so tender. The women also showed an extremely lively atmosphere and were good at singing and dancing.
The ethnic group began to perform singing and dancing "Feast Song".
/
After a burst of hearty laughter, Bai Yanhu sang loudly: "My love Tambula, on the plateau at dusk, there is your charming fragrance. I will pick up my Tambula and sing for my beloved girl."
Bai Yanhu was good at singing and dancing, which touched the girl's heartstrings, and made him the protagonist of the banquet. He used to be just a small figure, and was not very strong in the uprising team, but he had a personal charm that made several heroes join him, and in the battle
His strength is getting stronger and stronger, and he is known as the fox who returns to the army.
It wasn't until late at night that they dispersed. Cui Wei's face was solemn when he walked out of the big yurt. He no longer had the same expression of chatting and laughing just now. Ma Zhenghe was willing to die for the great cause of the nation, and he also wanted to survive for the survival of the nation. The truth is that Yuebian
Yue Ming, was he wrong in the past, or was Imam Zou right? Only when you are alive can you have a chance to take revenge. After you die, your wife will remarry, and your sons and daughters will be slaughtered. Who will remember you?
"Yu Deyan, Bi Dacai, Lan Mingtai, Zou Baohe, come to my camp and discuss how to defend the city?" Cui Wei glanced at the stumbling commanders. They are all pretending to be drunk. How can they be righteous?
As if going to die.
Among these people, the first person to betray the great cause of the nation was Yu Deyan. He was a man from a big family and had a wide range of contacts. He had secret connections with the Qing army and was doing business with the Qing even during the war. Originally, Yu Deyan
Deyan had betrayed the military secrets of Huijun. After suffering the setback of failure, he first made up his mind to revolt and dragged his confidant Bida into the water.
Lan Mingtai is a swordsman who has no faith in the first place. He lives by burning, killing and looting. If he has milk, he is his mother's master. His subordinate An Jie sent him a letter, advising him to submit to the Qing Dynasty and promise him a high official and generous salary. Lan Mingtai
Tai had long felt that Yu Deyan and Bi Dacai were secretive and hiding something from him. After some contact, he found out the truth and followed Yu Deyan, preparing to betray him.
As for Zou Baohe, he was a coward. He was afraid of being beaten by Li Ziying. He thought about the survival of his family and ran onto this pirate ship without being persuaded to surrender.
The drunken man in the military tent immediately turned solemn, with an air of a mature man seeking the country. Cui Wei sighed slightly: "Yu Deyan, I have already thought about it. It is better to revolt on the battlefield and conquer Taichang."
Zhengping Town is dedicated to Deputy Marshal Xu. As for Ma Zhenghe’s Dongzhi County, we don’t need to take care of it. Everyone has different ideas. If we are brothers, I can’t betray my brother.”
Yu Deyan praised: "Cui Shuai still had the courage to let Harianjin live. I will talk about the next thing, so that all brothers can live a good life in the future. The conditions offered by the Qing army are pretty good.
Those Ge Laohui members were also given official positions. We still have tribes
, Marshal Zuo is still willing to give the territory and let bygones be bygones. I think we can not fight against Ma Zhenghe's team, but we can't attack Dong Zhiyuan's group of troops. The other troops who have returned to the army still have to work hard a few times, otherwise Zuo Zongtang will not be able to do anything.
It will allow us to keep our troops."
"It goes without saying that if I hadn't looked at your face, I would have dared to twist off Ma Zhenghe's head." Lan Mingtai turned his back and refused to recognize anyone. He never thought about Ma Zhenghe's benefits. Most of his subordinates were Han Chinese.
Anyone dares to do it.
"Hey! Lan Mingtai, let's forget it. It's too much trouble and it's not beautiful. Only by letting the Qing army consume its strength can we show our importance. The war is easy to fight. The Qing army will use it to make Xinjiang a mess.
To win us, you must first humble yourself and be a good person,
If the tribe is well arranged, the people's hearts are the most important thing." Zou Baohe always spoke about the tribe, and he returned to the Qing Dynasty for the sake of the interests of the nation. He did not think it was betraying the great cause of the nation. He would tell the truth to the tribe. People who are good at speaking can say anything.
All are correct.
"Hey! I'm still a soldier fighting. I have no interest in local governance. I have to die on the battlefield." Lan Mingtai will never put down his gun. He will only rely on looting to feed his men, and has no interest in the looted population.
Governance.
"Chichi!" The people next to him sneered. Lan Mingtai also said that he died on the battlefield and that he would surrender before the battle. He is still talking nonsense. Who would believe such nonsense.
Cui Wei's eyes widened and he shouted: "Why are you laughing! What time has it been and you are still looking like you are carefree? Let me set off now, rush back to the station overnight, and control my camp. The night is long and there are many dreams, so it is not suitable to stay here for a long time.
"
"Yes!" Yu Deyan, Bi Dacai, Lan Mingtai, and Zou Baohe stood up in high spirits. They had not been so happy for a long time. Their hearts were united and their sharpness could cut through gold. A battle without gunpowder has begun, and they will be safe.
Live the rest of your life without fear of dying on the battlefield.
Cui Wei led his men, held a brief military meeting, and left Xiaojin Town overnight. Their departure was doomed to cause Dong Zhiyuan's return army to fall apart.
