    "How can this not make sense? How can it not make sense!"

    It was finally getting cooler in autumn. Ruicheng, who had a habit of taking a nap, had just undressed and went to bed when he heard someone coming to report that something had happened in Nanhu. He was so frightened that he hurriedly put on his clothes and said bitterly: "These gangsters really deserve to be killed, but they are actually causing such harm."  The army is coming!¡±

    Liao Keyu saw that he was getting angry in a hurry and there seemed to be murderous intent in his eyebrows. He took advantage of buttoning his buttons and reminded him: "Don't get too anxious and get too nervous. The world is getting more and more chaotic. You must be careful when dealing with troubles in the army this time.  When trouble comes, think more about me and kill less people, so that you can leave more paths for yourself in the future."

    Ruicheng was usually a little henpecked, but his anger gradually faded away after hearing his wife's words. In addition, there have been rumors recently that Sun Wen sent his younger brother to Wuhan to prepare for trouble during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Although he didn't believe it, where were those rebels?  How powerful is it?  If something changes, will you be able to control the situation?

    With a series of bad thoughts, Ruicheng walked into the lobby. Before he could sit down, Zhang Biao hurried in from the outside: "Sir, have you heard about the incident in Nanhu?"

    "It was said that a few soldiers were making trouble, and they even took away guns and knives and fled."

    Seeing Ruicheng's understatement, Zhang Biao was willing to let go of this good opportunity and said anxiously: "It's not just the soldiers who are making trouble! Those people took away the sabers and bullets and fled the camp. At the end, they uttered wild words about the recent chaos in the party.  They will rebel and seize Wuchang City and kill all of us officers. Judging from our humble position, what happened today is no accident! Although those who led the trouble ran away, there were also a lot of people who followed and booed. This time, sir, if  If we don't use the power of the tiger and kill a few of his people, the arrogance of this rebellious party will grow day by day. If this continues, what will happen?

    ¡°Besides, in a few days, the Swedish side will bring the remaining troops of the 31st and 32nd troops into Sichuan to suppress the bandits. If you don¡¯t take this opportunity to eradicate the rebellious parties, what will happen if those rebellious parties take advantage of the situation and start making trouble?  So sir, please give the order quickly!  "

    Hearing Zhang Biao's words, he became more and more anxious, as if Wuchang was about to be turned upside down. Ruicheng also had no idea. According to his previous thoughts, he must go on a killing spree, but his wife Liao Keyu's words just now made him suddenly become  He became cautious and asked: "Master Zhang, if we conduct a strict investigation, will it cause conflicts among the soldiers and cause some big trouble?"

    Zhang Biao, who was sitting next to Ruicheng with Da Ma Jin Dao, had a cold look in his eyes, and said quickly: "No, I have led the army for many years in a humble position, but I can still control it, and the officers are all loyal and brave people, as long as you give an order  Come on, I promise to do it neatly and there will never be any trouble."

    Zhang Biao's words were so urgent and fast that Ruicheng felt strange. The two of them had been in conflict over the years in order to regain military power, but now he actually spoke like an adult and asked himself to give orders. What does this mean?

    Seeing Zhang Biao¡¯s sharp eyes, Ruicheng suddenly understood, and his back was suddenly covered with cold sweat. This aunt was going to take this opportunity to kill someone with a knife and push him into the crater of the volcano!  He quickly pretended to think and shouted: "Go and find Master Zhang. The governor has something important to discuss with us."

    Zhang Meisheng, who had been waiting outside for a long time, heard the call and walked in quickly: "Zhang Tongzhi is here too. Your Excellency, please ask the students to come here. What are your instructions?"

    Ruicheng quickly told what Nanhu and Zhang Biao had suggested about the purge. Zhang Meisheng had followed him for many years. After hearing this, he immediately understood the meaning of his words and asked first: "Master Zhang, you have led troops for many years against the army."  The situation is very auspicious. In your opinion, if something happens, is the team of this town and association really reliable? "

    This sudden question caught Zhang Biao off guard, and he did not dare to make any nonsense at this important event, so he quickly said: "Flowers and plants are also in ruins, let alone the army. But the weapons are in the hands of the officers, so I am not afraid."

    Uh-huh-oh-oh, Zhang Meisheng pretended to think seriously, and after a while he said: "Master Zhang is right to investigate severely. Otherwise, hidden dangers cannot be eradicated. As the old saying goes, 'Celebrate your father until he dies.  The trouble is not over yet. If we don't kill all these rebellious gangs, Huguang will not have peace for a day. But now that the troublemakers have escaped, where should we start to investigate?"

    Zhang Biao's face turned dark when he heard this. Zhang Meisheng was obviously helping Ruicheng not to give this order and said, "What's the difficulty? Just arrest the people these soldiers often come into contact with and interrogate them carefully."

    "Your Majesty is right, but there are frequent exchanges between soldiers and battalions, and there are a large number of people. What should we do if we arrest the wrong person and cause a mutiny?" After Zhang Meisheng asked, Ruicheng nodded quickly and said, "What Meisheng said  A lot, what do you think should be done at this time?"

    "In the opinion of the students, since the rebels are going to cause trouble, they must be in the city. Since those soldiers have escaped, arresting them will only serve as a warning, so it is better to send people to search the city carefully, try to catch the bandit leaders and destroy the center! As for the army.  " Zhang Meisheng smiled slightly at Ruicheng: "Your Excellency only needs to order the bullets to be temporarily confiscated, and that won't be a problem."

      Ruicheng immediately slapped his thigh: "Mei Sheng's plan is very clever. Without bullets, the gun is just a fire stick." Without waiting for Zhang Biao's reaction, he shouted: "Come here, pass my order, and temporarily mark the ammunition of each camp."  There must be no mistakes when collecting and storing it in the treasury.¡±

    After finishing speaking, he deliberately glanced at Zhang Biao and said, "Sir Zhang, the current situation has been chaotic recently, and the superintendent's office should also strengthen its precautions to prevent unexpected events."

    Zhang Biao's face turned dark. Originally, he wanted to take this opportunity to ask Ruicheng to order the purge of the army, so that he could avoid the trouble of doing it himself, and if something happened, he could shift the responsibility to the governor and move the army in one fell swoop.  Shitou, who was taking the lead, did not expect that the other party would not accept the move. He simply waved his sleeves, promised to strengthen the defense of the Governor's Mansion, and then turned around and left.

    With such a domineering look, Ruicheng was so angry that he cursed loudly and said: "A young lady dares to plot against me. It is really hateful!"

    "Sir, don't be so angry that you are so angry." After Zhang Meisheng persuaded him, he thought about it and said, "Although Zhang Biao has a heart to kill, there is still some truth in what he said. During this period, there were frequent rebellious party activities, and there was another riot in Sichuan.  It is not impossible for such a big thing to affect three towns."

    This sentence made Ruicheng shiver behind his back. He remembered Liao Keyu's words and said quickly: "Mei Sheng, you have packed everything in the house these days. Exchange all the silver and loose money into passes to avoid any trouble later. Yes.  Now, let¡¯s exchange all the autumn taxes that just came up into banknotes just in case.¡±

    When Zhang Meisheng nodded and left the Governor's Mansion, Yang Qiu and He Xi hurried to the 21st Mixed Cooperative Command Post.

    When he arrived at the command post, he discovered that the commanders of each battalion had arrived. Not only Liu Wenzhi and Wang Anlan, but also Chen Shanyou and Guo Erxing, who had been forced to rest at home for more than half a month after reporting illness, were also there.  When they arrived at him, both of them looked evil, and even He Xi was hated.

    "What time has it come? Are you still messing around?!" Li Yuanhong put down the phone and saw the three of them still cross-eyed. He also got angry and yelled: "You two have led troops for many years, don't you know the rules in the army? Don't you know?  Do you want me to teach you personally?"

    Guo Erxing was so arrogant that he didn't dare to talk back at this moment, let alone Chen Shanyou who was so eager to follow his lead. He quickly stepped aside without saying anything.  Seeing that everyone had closed their mouths, Li Yuanhong said, "Do you know everything about Nanhu?"

    "I know, sir, please tell me what to do." Wang Anlan clasped his fists and said.

    In fact, Li Yuanhong also had a numb scalp. The most taboo thing in the army was cleaning. Fortunately, Zhang Biao just called and said that Ruicheng did not agree and only ordered the collection of ammunition. He felt a little relieved and immediately said: "There was an accident at the artillery camp and they took it away."  The firearms and bullets are really appalling! But this matter has reminded us" He glanced at everyone and continued: "Due to the arrears of pay for many months, although the payment was not enough, the soldiers were somewhat  Resistance is normal, and you people need to be comforted more at this moment, and you must not use corporal punishment or beating!"

    "The situation is difficult. As soldiers, we must not get involved Do you understand?" Seeing everyone nodding in agreement, Li Yuanhong breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Yang Qiu: "  Guo Erxing, Chen Shanyou! It is normal for Yang Qiu to establish his authority when he takes office for the first time, but you two are in charge, and you don¡¯t want to help but just continue to fool around, how unbecoming it is! You will be punished for three months, and you must return to the camp tomorrow, is there any doubt?"

    Three months¡¯ salary is nothing to the two of them, but they felt a little uncomfortable when they were scolded in person, but they didn¡¯t dare to contradict them, so they could only hold back their faces until they turned red, and glared at Yang Qiu before nodding.

    "The Governor's Mansion has assigned patrol battalions to collect ammunition from each battalion If there is any conflict, please bear with me! Control your soldiers and don't cause trouble for me." Li Yuanhong looked a little tired and waved his hands and said: "  Yang Qiu stays, and everyone else should go back."

    Unexpectedly, Li Yuanhong wanted to leave him alone. When Yang Qiu saw that everyone had left, he quickly asked: "Sir, why do you want to leave me?"

    Li Yuanhong glared and said, "Yang Qiu, you are so brave!"

    The sudden anger made Yang Qiu inexplicable and also a little troubled. He pretended to be frightened and deliberately confused: "This is my first time to lead troops. I don't know where I went wrong. I hope you can give me some advice."

    Seeing that Yang Qiu was frightened by him, Li Yuanhong narrowed his eyes and asked, "I heard that you brought back two light machine guns from the gun factory. Is this the case?"

    It turned out that this was the matter. Yang Qiu quickly came up with the explanation he had already thought of: "Sir, I just want the soldiers to become more familiar with several types of firearms. I have already filed this matter with the gun factory. The machine gun is also broken."  The law cannot be used"

    "You don't need to say any more, you didn't handle this properly." Li Yuanhong interrupted him with a fierce glare: "Although it's broken, I asked the gun factory if it can be repaired if I meet a master.  , not to mention that machine guns are heavy?, now the rebellious party is making trouble everywhere, and something like this happened again in Nanhu. If I lose it, how do you want me to explain it to the Governor?  "

    "Sir, this Nanhu I don't know either."

    The way Yang Qiu spread his hands and made a grimace made Li Yuanhong secretly amused, but it was indeed unsafe to leave the machine gun in the military camp, not to mention this time, so he thought about it and said, "I know your good intentions, but these are troubled times.  You should return them for the time being. As for training soldiers you can just let them go to the gun factory to learn every day, but they must never be taken out again, remember?!"

    Finally, the plan to train machine gunners was not ruined. Yang Qiu breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as he agreed, Li Yuanhong took an official document from the table and handed it to him, saying: "I heard about your tricks. Orders and obedience  Not bad! I¡¯m afraid that now within the 42 standard, your military orders are already unimpeded."

    Is the old guy really confused or fake?  Are you trying to test me on purpose?  Yang Qiu took the official document but didn't read it yet, and said sincerely: "Sir, don't scare me, there is nothing you can do if you do that. Fortunately, I heard about the training methods in German martial arts when I was in school. I can't take it seriously if I learn it now and sell it now."  .¡±

    "Okay, I'm not blaming you. The army is different from other places. It does have to enforce orders and prohibitions. I remember when I was under Master Yan Hey, I won't mention it anymore, I won't mention it anymore!" Li Yuanhong shook his head.  As if he didn't want to mention what happened under Yan Fu and Sa Zhenbing in Beiyang, he pointed to the official document and said: "You did a good job with the admiral the day before yesterday. This is an official document just issued by the imperial court. The 31st and 32nd batches are for the same battalion general.  On the 10th day, he set off for Sichuan, where Lord Rui Fangrui, who was familiar with geography, led the troops to suppress the bandits.

    After they leave, it is necessary to readjust their deployment. The Admiral has decided that both the 15th and 30th teams and our mixed 41st team will have to re-defense. Your 42th team will be stationed at Hanyang, Hankou and Liujiamiao stations. Is there any problem?  "

    Yang Qiu¡¯s heart trembled. After waiting for so long, wasn¡¯t it just for this transfer order?  finally come!

    However, he did not answer immediately, but frowned and said: "Sir, I marked three battalions in one place, but I have to station them in three places. And among the three places, Hanyang and Hankou are separated by a river. If something happens, I may not be able to take care of it. Do you think it is right?  Can you suggest that the 15th Association send a battalion to garrison Liujiamiao, which can also relieve my pressure."

    "No." Li Yuanhong had no room for negotiation on this matter, and said: "All 15 associations need to be transferred back to Wuchang, and this matter cannot be discussed."

    "I obey your orders." After Yang Qiu saluted, he said deliberately worriedly: "Sir, you know that I have only been leading the army for more than a month. Although I have straightened things out recently, there is no guarantee that things will not go wrong. It's not that I am afraid of being treated, but  Hanyang is of great importance, if it is destroyed, even a hundred heads will not be enough to chop it off."

    Li Yuanhong also knew that he was telling the truth. Three battalions had to take charge of three places, which was really stretched. But Wuchang was too important. After the 31st and 32nd bidders entered Sichuan, they didn't know when they would come back, so they thought about it while walking.  After a few steps, he said: "Let's do this. Let's temporarily transfer the mixed engineering team and the baggage team to Hanyang and put them under your command. In addition, Ma Dabiao's security team will also be temporarily under your command. They will return it when Liang Biao comes back. How about it?"

    The baggage train of the Huncheng Association?

    Yang Qiu was stunned. This was the first army to rebel in the true sense!  Many history books of later generations always confuse the Eight-Town Baggage Battalion with the mixed supply team that was actually the first uprising.  There is a big difference between it and the fostering and transporting tasks, while the mixed auxiliary baggage corps belongs to the artillery battalion under the mixed auxiliary.

    Aren¡¯t you worried about giving yourself such a team?

    But Yang Qiu didn't dare to disobey, for fear that the old fox would see something. Besides, he would always be happy to add two companies plus a security team equivalent to a battalion. Unfortunately, the old guy from the artillery battalion still refused to let go, so he deliberately pretended to be embarrassed.  It took a long time before he gritted his teeth and agreed.

    After explaining some matters that should be paid attention to when mobilizing the army, Li Yuanhong walked towards the backyard, but as soon as he took a step forward, he suddenly stopped, looked at Yang Qiu and said meaningfully: "Chen Hua, I know you are young and energetic, but   If you can forgive others, do so! In this world, today there is a life-and-death feud, but tomorrow we may be eating each other in the same trough."
