Zhao Gang paused and then said: "Brother Gao, I won't come again before we miss the opportunity. Even without your help, our artillery fire can easily shake the walls of this city. Now is the age of gunpowder, no longer spears and broadswords."
It’s an era of great success, or you will be inactive in the future, it all depends on your choice!”
Zhao Gang drank his tea and was not in a hurry, waiting for Gao Gang to think slowly.
…
After a long time, Gao Gang made up his mind and said to Zhao Gang: "Brother Zhao, I will do it. I plan to be the chief of the police station. Gao Gang knows that the daily income of the brigade commander will never be more than the chief of the police station."
"Okay, then let's discuss the plan!" So the two of them were discussing how to kill all the powerful military officers in Chengdu.
On January 24, 1933, which was December 29, 1932 in the lunar calendar, the day before New Year's Eve, Gao Gang rented out an entire large restaurant, and he wanted to take Miss Xiangyi, the top name in Yihongyuan, as his concubine.
It has long been spread that the two of them had flirted with each other and made secret glances. Xiang Yi was the number one in Yihong Courtyard, but now she is in her twenties. It is not bad to marry a regiment leader in his thirties. It is better than anything else.
When you are a few years old, it is hundreds of times better to marry an old man or a village man.
So the two of them did it as they said, but they didn't expect Gao Gang to be so fast. Xiang Yi didn't know why Gao Gang was in such a hurry. They had already made up their mind. What else did he have to worry about? Xiang Yi wouldn't go out to pick up guests, but
She knew what Gao Gang was thinking, but Gao Gang still had to give Xiang Yi a reason. Although it was reluctant, Xiang Yi could accept it.
Gao Gang's reasons were: First, he was afraid of long nights and many dreams, and his family would object. But mainly, he wanted to marry Xiang Yi and go home to celebrate the New Year together. Otherwise, it would be too much for a person to be alone in such a place with fireworks on such a day when the whole family is reunited.
It’s so sad!
Xiangyi felt that Gao Gang really cared about her. In order not to let her spend New Year's Eve alone, he actually did everything within a day or two, and Gao Gang still had to hold a big banquet.
Xiang Yi was moved to tears. It was impossible for fireworks women like them to get married through a matchmaker. Even if you were the number one, you were just a prostitute in the eyes of others. Therefore, Gao Gang didn't say that he wanted to marry through a matchmaker.
No decent person can cook coal, but Gao Gang's big banquet has already proved Xiang Yi's status in Gao Gang's heart, and it is tantamount to announcing this to others.
The day before New Year's Eve, Gao Gang invited all the dignitaries to attend the wedding banquet. Although everyone was buying new year's goods at this time, and the New Year would be tomorrow, many of them still wanted to come as local powerful figures were invited to have a wedding banquet.
, especially the military battalion commanders and division commanders, everyone has to look up and work together in the future, and the government officials and people from the police system must also be present. As for the business gentry, even if they really can't come,
It is also necessary to give a big gift, otherwise you may be caught with something, and you will pay more at that time. Moreover, it is the consistent style of the officialdom to make money from happy events, and everyone knows it.
In order to make things easier, Gao Gang and Zhao Gang chose a place in the area defended by Gao Gang's troops. In addition, Wang Jiuling's troops of about 300 people were allowed to sneak into the city, while Huang Peiyao and the others were in ambush not far outside the city. The signal
Just set off fireworks
Xianlaiju was packed with people that night, and all of them were well-known people. The boss was very happy. Not only could he make a lot of money this time, but he could also expand the restaurant's influence. It was a great value.
It was so lively when the waiters were welcomed and sent off, and the gifts were piled up like a mountain.
Seeing that the officers of each unit were all present and the banquet was under way, Zhao Gang felt much more relaxed after receiving a telegram to confirm that the first division was all in place.
So I went down to eat and drink. Eat something first. Then I will have the strength to fight later. "Perform well and you will have a bright future." Zhao Gang secretly cheered for himself in his heart.
After three drinks and five dishes, Gao Gang went to toast next to him. He was already slightly tipsy. Fortunately, he had a good drinker, otherwise he would have been drunk. Seeing that the others were about the same, Gao Gang ordered people to set off fireworks.
Fireworks were a signal. When the first fireworks were launched into the sky, Huang Peiyao and others who were hiding outside the city immediately rushed into Cheng. Gao Gang excused himself to the toilet and took his people to the city gate to meet him. He was originally planning to issue a warrant.
, but they were afraid that things would be exposed, and it was unrealistic to arrange an independent group. Suddenly a group of people they had never seen were replaced, and everyone would be suspicious, so they could only take advantage of the fireworks to come out to respond. Anyway, the city gate was closed at night.
Yes, there is no one outside the city. The first division can lie down a few hundred meters outside the city.
It only takes three minutes to ride from the big restaurant to the city gate. In order to prevent accidents, half of the more than 300 people who entered the city were ambushed near the city gate. If that didn't work, they would eliminate the guards. Fortunately, Gao Gang arrived as scheduled, so there was no need to worry.
caused a lot of trouble
Huang Peiyao and others immediately rushed into Chengdu quietly, and the fireworks show ended. However, except for some female relatives of dignitaries watching, men would not go to see these. It is such a rare opportunity not to get to know these nobles. What are you waiting for?
time, if I go to visit in the future, I may not meet him
When the troops of the First Division arrived downstairs, these guys realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere. But before they could react, the soldiers who were waiting in the uniform and dressed up as servants took out their guns and pointed them at them, shouting: "Don't move..."
…”
Gao Gang walked up to the stage and said: "Everyone, please be patient. Liu Wenhui has resorted to militarism and expropriation in various places for his own selfish interests. You have also suffered greatly from it. I am concerned about the country and the people, and I cannot bear to see you being oppressed again. Today
Abandon the darkness and surrender to the light, and be loyal to Commander Wang Jiuling. Don't move, everyone. We won't hurt you. After tonight, everyone can go home. Now please ask the officers from various ministries to cooperate and calm the troops. Otherwise, you will be responsible for disturbing the place.
"These words may seem harmless, but in fact they are serious enough. If you don't cooperate, you may have to move."
"Gao Gang, you bastard, you actually betrayed us..." The officer wanted to say something else, but was immediately beaten like a pig's head. What else dared others to say? He is now in someone else's prison, and he will not bow his head.
I'm afraid he's dead
All the officers cooperated very well and went to cooperate with Huang Peiyao to recruit troops.
The recruitment of the Sichuan Army was very simple. Basically, the officers above the battalion commander were not in the camp, but were captured. When their battalion commander was tied up and yelled at them to put down their weapons, the usual power was accumulated
After exerting its power, those officers at the company and platoon level dare to be disobedient.
But there were soldiers running everywhere at night, and the people hurriedly retreated into their houses, holding the doors open with whatever they could find, for fear of causing military trouble. They had not seen this kind of thing in recent years.
Every time the banners are changed at the top of the city, it is the ordinary people like them who are the unlucky ones.
However, we waited until the early morning of New Year's Eve. Everyone really wanted to go out, so they sneaked out, but found that the soldiers were only patrolling there, and many people even greeted them, even though it was just a simple word "Morning"
, the common people were moved to tears. They have never seen such a docile soldier since they were born.
If you take something away and eat it without paying, it’s fine. You have to tap some money before leaving, otherwise you’ll be in big trouble.
The soldiers were so kind, and some brave people started doing business. How can we survive this day? Those who opened the door early, the store was very busy, who told other stores to be closed. Today is the Chinese New Year, if not
When to buy something?
The timid ones saw that the soldiers did not take the opportunity to extort money, but patrolled from time to time, so more people opened their doors to do business. After most of the morning, everyone came out. After asking about it later, I found out that it was Wang Jiuling's elder.
The handsome troops all know Wang Jiuling, and some of them even enshrine Wang Jiuling’s longevity tablets in their homes!
Huang Peiyao, after taking over Chengdu, quickly appointed Gao Gang as the police chief, responsible for rectifying public security and, of course, vigorously cracking down on gang members.
At the same time, the soldiers who meet the standards among the Sichuan Army are selected and prepared to be transported to Panzhihua for training. They will then become soldiers of the Sichuan Border Army. Chengdu is indeed a treasure land with rich and complete materials. Unfortunately, there are only a few thousand in the warehouse.
They must have been corrupted by these officials. In the end, Wang Jiuling instructed Huang Peiyao to make those people pay for their lives and kill them to buy daily supplies in the store. For a while, soldiers became the most popular customers. As for the goods shipped to the riverside, the distance was also small.
It's not far, and there are many qualified Sichuan troops who have trained to transport it, which is enough
