Chapter 9: The origin of the lord

Meng Dingguo explained the whole story of this mutiny clearly.

It turns out that Wang Zichun, a native of the country, is famous for deducting military pay. The officers only pay five yuan a month, and the soldiers only pay two yuan a month. The last number will not be settled once half a year later. Over the past year, only maintenance fees will be paid, and the officers and soldiers have a hard life.

Before he returned to Hubei from Beijing this time, there were rumors in the army that he had made a lot of profits from this big bone, and the Army Department owed 2 million yuan in salary.

The officers and soldiers were hungry for a long time because they had been owed wages. They were very happy when they heard the news. Although they could not settle the money at once, it would be no problem to make a living for the time being. They all thought that when the generals came back, we would have a way out.

Unexpectedly, the military pay was not issued and the order for disarmament was issued. The officers and soldiers heard that he had deposited the owed wages in Shanghai and Tianjin in most cases, and only a small amount of military pay was distributed to the army. This caused public outrage by the officers and soldiers, which triggered this mutiny.

However, after the mutiny, most of them fled back to their hometowns, and there were a large number of soldiers who remained in Wuhan City. However, everyone felt that their future in the army was dark and they didn't know how to make a living, so they were all waiting and watching.

Meng Dingguo had a high prestige in the Hubei army. As long as he ascended to the top, officers and soldiers would naturally gather.

Liu Jingxiao is now not short of guns, two is not short of food, three is not short of money. What he lacks is the people who can fight, so he was naturally overjoyed and immediately asked Meng Dingguo to summon exiled officers and soldiers.

At noon that day, Meng Dingguo summoned six or seven hundred officers and soldiers to Liu Jingxiao. The battalions of the Dingbian Army were full, and the troops were all short of the troops. Liu Jingxiao immediately added these soldiers to each battalion.

However, Liu Jingxiao finally knew that the military uniforms of Hubei soldiers were already tattered enough. But compared to the military uniforms worn by these transformers, they were simply silk and satin. No! This cannot be called a military uniform, at most it can be called a cloth strip. Looking at the depressed appearance, it is almost like a beggar!

No wonder Shanghai newspapers sarcastically said: "Prince Chun has a small number of armed coolies, so he wants to enter the house." The word "coolers" to describe the life of Hubei soldiers is really a sharp pain!

In addition, there are more than 40 officers in the organization. Liu Jingxiao specially selected 200 strong soldiers and all of them were added to the artillery regiment of Mengding. Meng Dingguo did not understand Liu Jingxiao's intention, but just said happily: "Teacher Commander, my artillery battalion is full... I don't need to add more people, right?"

Liu Jingxiao replied: "You are the commander of the artillery, not the commander of the artillery battalion! You must train me to become a first-class gunner!"

Meng Dingguo asked again: "But, division commander... I don't have any extra artillery here..."

Liu Jingxiao said: "It's better to ask people to wait for cannons, not let cannons wait for people... practice troops for me!"

It turned out that Liu Jingxiao planned to build an artillery regiment, so he transferred these officers and soldiers to Mengdingguo.

As for artillery? As long as you win this battle, you can’t choose the cannons produced by the Hanyang Arsenal!

Liu Jingxiao's troops were scheduled to leave the next morning, so there was still half a day left, so Liu Jingxiao asked the troops to change their equipment while taking a break.

Meng Dingguo is working harder and the soldiers he recruits have their own share!

He sent several officers with good friendship to notify the recruitment of warriors everywhere, and personally set up a recruitment office at the railway station to collect warriors scattered everywhere.

Liu Jingxiao and several battalion commanders were in charge of the conscription office. When they saw the change of war, several battalion commanders immediately came up to rob, and the people caught in the bowl were all their own. Of course, the regiment commander was familiar with the people and got the most.

A group of transformers had just been snatched by battalion commanders who seemed to have seen bones. Before the newcomers arrived, a few people were chatting about Wang Zichun. Liu Jingxiao suddenly asked: "By the way! I don't know what the medal on Wang Zichun's chest is. Do Commander Meng know?"

Several officers from Hubei were laughing at this statement, and Meng Dingguo also talked about the old story of Wang Zichun's success.

It turned out that Wang Zichun was a general from the Second Division of the Hubei Army. This second division had almost nothing to do with the Second Division that established the Republic back then. It was a local indigenous unit in Hubei.

In the 81st year of the Republic, Duan Tiemin led the Second Division of the Central Army and two mixed brigades to Beijing, which severely damaged the direct forces, while there were four divisions left behind in Laowo, Hubei.

The Hubei regime took Anhui, Henan, Shanxi and Gansu into the hands of four provinces. Duan Tiemin was very proud in the capital, but the situation suddenly changed and the backyard of Hubei suddenly caught fire.

Wang Zichun, who was the commander of the Second Division of the Hubei Army at that time, led his troops into Wuhan, drove away the governor designated by Duan Tiemin, and controlled the entire province of Hubei.

Duan Tiemin initially wanted to appoint Wang Zichun as the Southern Hubei Guardian Army, and just appease him.

As a result, Wang Zichun immediately called Duan Tiemin: "The central government wants to treat the general and other positions as a guard. Such cage methods can be used to others, but such son Chun cannot..."

The meaning of this is: You Duan Tiemin want to perfunctory me at the next level, but there is no way! Humph! Our old king will never be fooled. All he wants is the governor of Hubei, and there is no room for bargaining!

Then the four division commanders in Hubei Province asked for leave from the Army Department together, and after the leave, there were a bunch of resignation messages... Resignation has always been a prelude to free action, and Duan Tiemin was disorganized for a moment, but he also felt that it was inappropriate to Wang Zichun as the governor of Hubei.

It turns out that the Chinese people are most concerned about placing capital and evaluating generations. The Republican military system refers to some settings of the former Jin Dynasty. The governor of the former Jin Dynasty governor was awarded the general, while the governor of the former Jin Dynasty governor was awarded the general.

Hubei happened to be the garrison of the former Governor of Jin. Wang Zichun, as the commander of the first division, flew to the position of "General" in one step, and his qualifications were not enough.

This matter was entangled until the end of December of that year. Duan Tiemin, who was in charge of the Hubei-type cow, finally bowed to a little commander who was born in a horse and appointed Wang Zichun as General Zhuangwei and the assistant to Hubei military affairs, supervising Hubei military affairs.

A person’s ambition is endless. The more he accommodates the facts, the more he will make things mess up.

Wang Zichun felt that this was not a satisfactory thing. He did not allow Hubei civil and military officials to congratulate him. The reason was that "I originally had a general in Hubei. Now I am here to supervise military affairs and I know that the general's design is based on the person rather than the place."

He even said that he had not been promoted to the general and called him "General" and was not allowed to be called "General".

Duan Tiemin heard this statement in Beijing and was helpless. There was a small Western country who wanted to award Duan Tiemin the medal of honor. Duan asked the ambassador for the honorary jazz and sent someone to Hubei to show comfort.
