It was late at night, and the lights in the military camp of the 10th Brigade Headquarters were turned off early. The entire military camp was pitch black. Only a few places were lit with lights, just like stars dotted in the night sky.
The environment in Qamdo is relatively poor. 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,
They are all cow dung. The lives of these herdsmen are now much better than before. After Wang Xiao occupied the plateau and Xikang, he abolished all the chieftains here and the serf system, so that the Fanba people could no longer
There was no need to be exploited by the chieftains. This made these simple people respect Wang Xiao very much. In the propaganda of Theravada Buddhism on the plateau, Wang Xiao even became the protector of Buddhism.
Although Wang Xiao himself was dismissive of such a claim, the herders believed it very much and regarded Wang Xiao as their god.
The office of the commander of the 10th Brigade was still brightly lit. Two lanterns illuminated the office clearly. At this time, the commander of the 10th Brigade, Zhao Bowen, and the deputy commander of the 10th Brigade, Tashi Duoji, were surrounding a small table.
We had a drink at the table. Although it was only September, the night on the plateau was already very cold. Both of them put on their coats. The wine was high-alcohol spirits and the dish was braised beef. Although it was simple, the two of them drank a lot.
Very happy.
Soon, Chief of Staff Li Zhuo also opened the door and came in. Zhao Bowen quickly took out a wine glass and poured wine into it.
"Lao Li, let's have a drink. Have the little guys settled down?" Zhao Bowen handed the wine to Li Zhuo and asked.
With a "sip" sound, Li Zhuo drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and then said: "Everyone has settled down. Those little guys are all drunk. Some of them will endure it tomorrow!"
"Hehe, it's okay. Since you are a soldier of our 10th Brigade, you must know how to drink!" Deputy Brigadier Tashi Duoji said with a smile. His dark face was full of smiles, showing his white teeth.
"Where is that person? Is everything okay?" Zhao Bowen asked.
"It's okay! But, Lao Zhao, do we really want him to go to the 2nd Battalion and 3rd Company? Wouldn't it be better if he stayed at the brigade headquarters? There won't be any problems in this way. It's going to snow soon
, the station of the third company is not very safe!" Li Zhuo said with some worry.
Zhao Bowen, Tashi Duoji and Li Zhuo, as the chief officers of the 10th Brigade, naturally knew Wang Yuze's identity very well. When they learned that the young marshal was going to serve in their army, this made the three of them
People are surprised and happy. After all, the young marshal came to serve in the 10th Brigade, which means that the marshal thinks highly of their 10th Brigade and values their 10th Brigade. Otherwise, the young marshal would not be allowed to come here. However, the 10th Brigade
The conditions are so bad. If something happens to the Marshal in the 10th Brigade, how will they explain it to the Marshal, and how will they explain it to the tens of millions of people in the three provinces of Western Sichuan!
"That's right, the third company of the second battalion is stationed in Gasanka. The conditions in that place are ten times worse than Qamdo. Moreover, it is already the northernmost end of the area we control, and horse bandits often appear there.
The Ma Jiajun opposite seems to be uneasy recently. If there is any problem, we may not be able to rescue them!" Tashi Duoji is also a little worried. He is from the Fanba tribe, and in his heart, Wang Xiao is giving them a good life.
God, Wang Yuze is naturally the son of God. Naturally, he does not want Wang Yuze to go to dangerous places.
"But, what can we do? The marshal personally gave the order, clearly requiring the young marshal to go to the third company of the second battalion. Can we still disobey the order? However, we cannot be careless. Now that the young marshal is here, the tenth company
Brigade, we must be fully prepared. Once a crisis occurs, we must rush to rescue immediately. In addition, I think the commander has already thought of this. Hasn’t the battalion commander of the second battalion been changed? Actually
The new battalion commander Zhang Shusen is from the Guards of the Marshal's Mansion. He must have come with the mission of protecting the Marshal," said Brigadier Zhao Bowen.
"Well! But we can't be careless. All units in the brigade headquarters must be prepared. If something happens, they must be able to set off immediately. I heard from my colleagues in the military headquarters that the commander-in-chief has issued an order to start preparations for war. He said
It may not be long before our war against the Qing court in western Sichuan will start again. By then, even if our 10th Brigade is not transferred to the east to join the war, we will definitely have to attack north." Chief of Staff Li Zhuo said with a smile.
.
"That's good! Those horse bandits in the north are bullying our herdsmen a lot. If the military department hadn't strictly ordered not to attack Qinghai, I would have killed them long ago!" Deputy Brigadier Tashi Duoji yelled
He said.
Regarding war, these generals are all full of expectations. Although there will be deaths in war, war also means military exploits, which will be their capital for promotion! Soldiers who do not want to be generals are not good soldiers.
.Whether it is Zhao Bowen, who is already a brigadier general, or Tashi Duoji and Li Zhuo, who only have the rank of colonel, they all hope to make progress.
The next day, when Wang Yuze got up, he had a splitting headache. He probably drank a lot last night, at least almost two kilograms of liquor! This was completely beyond his drinking capacity. No wonder he was so drunk.
In comparison, Wang Wei was much better. Although he was drunk, he was not that powerful.
After Wang Yuze and others stayed in Qamdo for two days, they set off for their respective destiny. The dozen or so young officers who had just arrived in the 10th Brigade all went their separate ways.
The Second Battalion of the 10th Brigade is stationed in Leiwuqi, north of Qamdo, a small town where thousands of people gather. Here, Wang Yuze and Wang Wei met with Zhang Shusen, the commander of the Second Battalion, and the deputy battalion commander
Gong Zhiqiang and Zhang Shusen are young, less than thirty years old, and are 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. Moreover, Gong Zhiqiang also said that he will
I will personally send Wang Yuze and Wang Wei to the third company.
After a night's rest at the battalion headquarters, Wang Yuze and Wang Wei, led by deputy battalion commander Gong Zhiqiang, rushed to Gasanka, the headquarters of the third company. Gasanka was still more than 100 kilometers away from Leiwuqi, and it was difficult to ride a horse.
It took three or four hours. When Wang Yuze and Wang Wei arrived, it was already past noon.
Gasanka is just a small village. Except for the military station of the third company, there are only a few dozen families of herdsmen gathered here. Moreover, these herdsmen only arrive here in the autumn to spend the winter. Once the spring warms and the flowers bloom,
When the time comes, they will go to places with rich water and grass to graze. This is the first time for Wang Yuze to go to such a desolate place. When he thinks that he will stay here for a long time, although he is ready, he still feels sad in his heart.
Still a little bit unpleasant.
When Wang Yuze and others came to the gate of the military station, they found that except for two sentries, no officers from the third company were seen. Gong Zhiqiang's face didn't look good at that time. He had obviously sent someone to notify him yesterday
But now it's still like this. Doesn't this embarrass him? Although he knows that this is not aimed at him, it still makes him very unhappy.
Gong Zhiqiang rode toward the military station, but the sentry stopped him.
"Chief, who are you looking for?" the sentry asked.
"I am Gong Zhiqiang, sending your company commander and deputy company commander to take office. Where is your platoon commander?" Gong Zhiqiang asked with a tigerish face.
"Report to the deputy battalion commander. The first platoon leader led people on patrol, and the second platoon leader led people to pursue a group of horse bandits. Only the third platoon leader is here!" the sentry replied.
"Let him come to see me!" Gong Zhiqiang shouted with a fierce face.
"Yes, deputy battalion commander, please wait!" the sentry quickly ran to report.
"Captain Wang, I made you laugh. These soldiers are all rough and don't know any manners." Gong Zhiqiang said with a smile.
"The deputy battalion commander is serious, these soldiers are all honest and good soldiers!" Wang Yuze said with a smile. However, he has realized that the people here don't seem to welcome him! No, on the first day he came,
I want to give him a show of strength!
