Joined the National Army and was tortured for two months. Even his name was changed. Ai Buyi was originally called Ai Yi. The officials of the Song Dynasty thought it didn't sound good, so he had to change his name to "Buyi". He just learned to write these two
The words made him suffer a lot - it was not as simple as the original one horizontal line.
Ai Buyi has been thinking about his wife and children at home since he entered the training camp. For this reason, he often received "love education" from the sergeant. This time he went on an expedition in a hurry. He didn't even have a day off as usual. He just fired the gun and loaded it.
The boat left as soon as the whistle blew. Ai Buyi was crying on the boat. This time, the company sergeant did not beat him, but handed him a cigarette and patted his shoulder in a friendly manner.
The boat stopped and went slowly for a few days. Ai Buyi was so dim that he didn't know where he was being dragged. Fortunately, he didn't have to worry about eating and drinking along the way, and he didn't need to practice every day. He just watched and watched every day.
Looking at the river and the scenery on both sides of the river, or falling asleep, waking up and looking at the cabin full of soldiers and weapons, I feel extremely depressed. Sometimes I want to just jump into the river and end it all in one go - it is said that some people actually do this.
.
"Everyone assemble!" Following the piercing whistle and the roars of the monitors, Ai Buyi stood up as a reflex and ran to the gathering place.
"Line up! Count! Everyone checks equipment!"
After a series of orders and a lot of fuss, Li Dong came to the front of the queue and checked the soldiers' equipment. There were so many new soldiers that it was inevitable that they would be left behind.
"Everyone go to Pier 4," Li Dong ordered after completing the inspection, "get ready to board the ship!"
Because there were not enough ships to transport the entire army at once, the troops set off in batches. The entire detachment assembled in Guangning.
The fleet towed by tugs first returned east from Zhaoqing to Sanshui and entered Beijiang. Then it went north from Beijiang and turned to Suijiang. The voyage was very smooth and they soon arrived at Sihui.
Although the navigation capacity of Suijiang is not as good as that of the Xijiang main channel, the navigation boats are still more than enough. In addition to the more than ten large boats carrying troops, there are also several requisitioned civilian ships accompanying them, carrying them to accept the mountains.
Naturalized cadres and supplies of county government.
Sihui is a plain county. It was received earlier and is not far from Sanshui. It is a "security area". The troops rested here for a day and then headed to Guangning.
Going north along the Suijiang River from Sihui County is the border of Guangning County.
Guangning is a mountainous county with a mixture of Han and Yao. Its establishment was the result of the pacification of the Yao District in Daluo Mountain in Qingyuan County during the Jiajing Period. After the pacification of Daluo Mountain, the four counties that originally belonged to Sihui County and Qingyuan County were separated.
They were all separated and Guangning County was newly established.
Although there was no Yao District in this county at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were still many Yao people living in scattered households. It was adjacent to the Yao District in Qingyuan County. Although Han-Yao conflicts were originally rare, there were still people recruited from both sides and those recruited from Guangxi.
Conflicts among the children who came to "Zhenyao". When the behemoth government government fell to the ground, chaos broke out and the environment in the county was quite complicated.
The county is still a "quasi-public security area". The naturalized democratic director and the national army county squadron were recently sent to take over the defense. The county seat and several major market towns have generally remained stable, and the transportation lines are also smooth. However, since the beginning of May,
Since then, banditry activities have increased significantly, and it has become extremely unsafe to operate in the countryside. Because it is extremely easy to be attacked when going to the countryside, retained personnel and naturalized cadres must be escorted by force when going to the countryside to work. In fact, this "quasi-security area" has become a
It's quite chaotic. Recently, there is even information that some local squires in Guangning openly raised the banner of "King of Diligence" and mobilized their troops to openly confront the Senate. A few days ago, news came that a large group of unknown armed forces had gathered in Shijiazhuang.
Near the stream, there was an attempt to capture the town in one fell swoop.
Regardless of land or waterway, Shijian is the only way to go from Sihui to Guangning. Convenient transportation has created a commercial market town. Therefore, the newly appointed director of Guangning County stationed a small group of National Army soldiers here to organize and train the militia.
Maintain law and order in the local area and surrounding areas.
This news aroused tension among all parties, because Shijian is an important transportation thoroughfare connecting Guangning and China Unicom to Sihui. If the bandits want to seize this place, there is no guarantee that they will not "close the door and beat the dogs" and capture Guangning.
"No, I don't think the enemy has this intention." Li Dong said, "They are just greedy for money and want to make a name for themselves."
There are many merchants in Shijian. In addition to money, they can also plunder the materials and goods that were stranded there due to the war.
"Why do you see it?" Yang Zeng, who commanded the detachment, asked.
"The bandits are not officers and soldiers. They have no political intentions and lack of strategic concepts. They only want immediate interests," Li Dong said confidently. "Once this kind of transportation point is captured, it will inevitably lead to a counterattack. The bandits are not willing to attack this kind of traffic."
They want to fight hard to consume their own strength - they just see that Shijian's current strength is not many, or there are some opportunities within the local area, and they want to gather together to win big.
Although it was judged that the bandits had no intention of "closing the door and beating the dogs", once the Shijian fell, it would cause serious damage to people's lives and property. Therefore, Yang Zeng decided to send the 2nd company to land and take the land route directly to Shijian to clear it as soon as possible.
Li Dong's squadron cooperated with their actions. The remaining troops and baggage continued to move in by boat.
It is already early summer, and the mountains are covered with thick greenery.
Marching on this green mountain path was a group of soldiers wearing gray military uniforms and carrying rifles on their backs.
Although their steps were brisk, everyone's load was actually heavy: backpacks and helmets made a hill pile up on each of their backs - but they had been marching by boat before, and they had rested enough on the boat.
I rested in Sihui and my legs are still strong.
The forerunners were soldiers from the 1st Platoon of the 2nd Company of the 10th Battalion of the Fubo Army. A few days ago, their platoon leader fell ill and entered a rest home. The new platoon leader was Li Gang, who had just made military exploits in the Guangzhou Liberation Campaign.
He was born as a sergeant. There is news that when this battle is over, he will report to the military academy and become an officer. Many people are envious of this. Others say that he was just unlucky: the entire Guangzhou Liberation Campaign, whether it was
Whether the local government or the garrison of the Ming Dynasty mostly surrendered on the lookout and sent messages. Often the defenders had already surrendered before the troops arrived. There were very few actual exchanges of fire, and even fewer military exploits.
.
Quang Ninh is surrounded by mountains. Most of the county is covered with mountains and hills. The mountain streams are dotted with large and small valleys. The climate here is mild, the rainfall is abundant, and the mountains are full of green. The tree trunks spit out patches of tender green and goose yellow, which are just waking up.
The earth exudes the alluring aroma of earth.
On the hillside, you can see cultivated fields, some of which are tea gardens and some of which are paddy fields. However, no one is taking care of the fields. Some of the villages passing by have given up, and the rest are on tight guard. Whenever the troops approach,
The sound of conch shells and drums will sound to alert the villagers that outsiders are approaching.
In early summer, there was a lot of rain and the mountain roads were muddy. It was quite difficult for the soldiers to trek. Although the road was not easy to walk, the morale of the troops was good and they had won consecutive battles. The boys were very energetic and seemed not to care about any difficulties.
The county towns above them did not dare to resist the might of the Fubo Army. The provincial capital of Guangzhou fell in one day. What happened to these county towns? A messenger could at most set up a mountain howitzer and fire two rounds.
, they all surrendered one by one. What's more, Guangning was in the hands of his own team, so there was no need to use swords or guns. The only thing to pay attention to was the bandits on the road.
Before leaving camp in the morning, everyone had a full meal of the salt-water cold rice balls provided by the military station. Now is the time to feel strong. Li Shenggang had a sour plum in his mouth - it was so sour that his teeth almost fell out, but it was not very good to hold it in his mouth.
I want to drink water.
A platoon sent forward soldiers in accordance with the requirements of the doctrine. The two forward soldiers carried Mini rifles and watched the movements on both sides of the mountain road vigilantly. A few dozen meters behind was the entire infantry platoon marching in a straight line. Li Gangsheng himself was in the center of the formation.
.
When this small group of infantry was advancing westward along the tributaries of the Suijiang River, deep in the dense forest, Yang Juren and his regiment were preparing for an ambush. This time they brought a full 300 people, all of whom were from the countryside.
, there are almost two hundred young men among them, many of whom are equipped with armors and firearms. Such a well-equipped Tuanyong is probably unique in Guangning. But his confidence comes more from the fact that he stands with a squatting tiger cannon.
He is survived by his nephew Yang Erche.
In the past few years, the world has been unstable. Mr. Yang has read a lot of history books and knows that the most important thing in troubled times is to have soldiers and food. He has land, tenants, and long-term workers. As long as there are no continuous disasters, food will always be available. But
Without the backing of force, no matter how much food there is, it is just a big fat sheep. What's more, without force, what if the tenants and long-term workers of the family start to make trouble first? By then, I am afraid that the dozens of gang members will not be able to suppress it.
After thinking about it for a long time, Yang Juren thought of Yang Erche, his useless nephew. Yang Erche was his brother's son. He didn't like studying when he was a child. He liked to dance with guns and sticks. He also learned martial arts from a martial artist, and he had a good body.
, practiced a good fist and stick. So he spent money to buy him the title of Wu Xiucai and Wu Juren. With this money, he filled a vacancy in the Zhaoqing camp and became a small infantry commander.
Yang Erche became an officer in Zhaoqing, naturally not to protect his family and the country. Master Yang gave him clear instructions: first, the Yang family has many backers in the officialdom; second, get closer to the brothers around him, so that if anything happens, they can
Get a team together.
"Don't worry about money. How much money can you make by being this Qiu Baguan? I have plenty of money, so you should keep a good hold of the soldiers - in troubled times, soldiers are the grass-head kings - our Yang family does not want to be a grass-head
Wang, if you can bring a capable fighting team to your family, your family will be able to protect itself! Maybe you can also get great benefits in this troubled world!" Mr. Yang smiled and said, "At that time, you and our Yang family
, the future is immeasurable..."——
