Chapter 118: Temporary stationed in Ganjingzi
Zhu Qinglan was very satisfied with Wang Maoru's support and asked Jiang Dengxuan to take him to see Shang Yuanqing, the captain of the cavalry team of the Governor's Office. At this time, Shang Yuanqing was feeding horses in the personal barracks behind the Governor's Office. When he heard that he was selected to be transferred to the 17th Mixed Brigade, he excitedly threw down the horse feed bucket and ran to Wang Maoru. Wang Maoru saw that, he was so big, and he was 1.9 meters tall, and said, "Brother Shang's figure is probably a modern version of evil, haha."
Shang Yuanqing also laughed. He spoke with a mouthful of Shandong pancakes. He was Zhu Qinglan's fellow Shandong native. He gave a military salute from the former Qing Dynasty. He knelt on one knee and said, "Super Shang Yuanqing, I will pay homage to the brigade commander."
Wang Maoru hurriedly stopped him and said with a smile: "There are too many rules in the Qing Dynasty. I don't like it, and I don't like the soldiers bent down. The kneeling ceremony in our army has long been abandoned. Although we are not the main force of the six Beiyang towns, we are still in the 17th Mixed Brigade of the Republic of China Army, which is the serious military brigade of the Republic of China. In the future, just salute the army." He helped Shang Yuanqing up and down again. This big guy was simply a fighter in the UFC unlimited fighting competition. He was really happy to see it and said: "I don't have many cavalry this time, and Yuanqing is willing to help me. You are my Zhao Zilong. This time you kill the Mongolian rebels for seven in and seven out, hahaha."
Shang Yuanqing rode his tall horse. It is said that this war horse was still the Russian hippo. He was very powerful. He wore the black, white-edged, gold-lined unique to the 17th Mixed Brigade, tied a white cloak, and walked at the front of the entire team with a group of cavalry who had just changed their clothes. On the one hand, his cousin Shang Jianwei said with a smile: "This 17th Mixed Brigade is indeed extraordinary. I heard that they were awesome, but I didn't expect it to be so awesome. We are an ordinary soldier, wearing leather shoes, woolen coats, and using fire bead guns. Brother, brother, look, my magazine is in my magazine.
There were 200 bullets on his face, and he might have used it hard in the future. The cotton coat on his body was warm, which was great, better than being a personal soldier in the Governor's Office." Shang Yuanqing cursed: "You have no knowledge, what is this? It depends on your lack of prospects. But, this saber is really good. Now I want to touch a blind man, Xiaojiu, don't mess with me." As he said that, he waved the saber, and the light from the white snow made him happy. Shang Jianwei hurriedly stayed away and said: "Brother, brother, please be careful, don't hurt me."
"Virtue." Shang Yuanqing curled his lips.
The road to the north is becoming more and more difficult to walk, and the official road is full of mud. Now everyone hopes that the weather will be colder and that the ground will freeze and that it will be better than the muddy foot now. The military boots are covered with mud and water, and the military boots were wiped in white last night.
Gannan County is originally a small county town. Zhang Zuolin once led the Fengtian Left Patrol Battalion to pursue Tao Ketao Humeng Bandit, so there is a small military camp here. When Zhu Yongquan and Gong Xiaoqi led the cavalry regiment here, they transformed and expanded the military camp, and also hired local people to renovate it. After a month of reconstruction, the military camp that originally accommodated 3,000 people was expanded to be able to accommodate 8,000 people. Both of them lost a lot of black and thin. Of course, many of these places were not satisfactory, such as the location of the armory was close to a newly built room at the door. Wang Maoru was shocked when he saw this simple armory and said, "What's going on with this house?" He kicked the wall, and a big hole was kicked out of the wall, which was even more tofu and shoddy than the tofu project.
Zhu Yongquan explained: "General, I reviewed, I didn't complete the task well. Time is too tight. In order to build a house for people to spend the winter, other armories, horse houses, weeds, canteens, thatched cottages, and even walls are also thin. I am really too busy to do it."
"This is not an excuse." Wang Maoru was very dissatisfied and said, "How is the house in the military camp?"
"The local fellows said they could barely survive the winter."
Wang Maoru shook his head and said, "This is not possible. The winter outside the pass is too cold, and it is also risky to barely get through the winter. I brought five thousand people from the pass and collected three thousand people outside the pass. These people followed me and could not have any other casualties except for death in battle."
"Yes, the coach of the traveling army!" Zhu Yongquan said.
Wang Maoru's tone was a little more relaxed and said, "As the Qing Dynasty, it's hard for you these days. You are not good at this civil affairs work. Now I will give you another task to inquire about the Hulunbuir rebels, formulate a combat plan, and strive to give them a gift before the New Year."
"Gift?"
"Yes, a big gift." Wang Maoru sneered, "I heard that Babuzabu gathered 5,000 people and is very brave, so we have to give him a hatred before the general attack in the spring of next year. Babuzabu, his life is mine."
"yes."
Zhu Yongquan was a military man, and it was really not suitable for construction. So after seeing this, Wang Maoru immediately changed the General Affairs Director He Ru to continue building the military camp and asked him to formulate a plan to attack the Hulunbuir Autonomous Rebel Government. The reason why Hulunbuir Autonomous Government dared to be aware that in addition to the Russians' instigation and the support of the Outer Mongolia Kulun Government, the 5,000 rebels from Babudhabba was backed by the 5,000 rebels from Babudhabba. In the first year of the Republic of China, Shengfu led his army to attack Hulunbuir City, drove away the Qing army, and declared Hulunbuir Autonomous, joined the Great Mongolian State formed by the Outer Mongolia Kulun Government, and appointed himself as the deputy governor of Hulunbuir to manage the entire Hulunbuir. Due to the initial establishment of the Republic of China government and the confrontation between the north and the south, there was no time to take care of Hulunbuir Autonomous, which allowed Shengfu to drive the Han people, the bannermen and the Qing army out of the Hulunbuir region step by step.
Wang Maoru took the initiative to lead his troops north to recover Hulunbuir. This behavior actually made many old Beiyang puzzled. Hulunbuir is cold and the ground is cold. Apart from wild wolves, there is no civil servant who likes to come here to garrison. Even the Mongolian nobles such as Shengfu naturally believed that this was the case. After winning the support of the Kulun government and the Russians, the horses put swords and guns into the warehouse. After learning that the Republic of China government sent troops north to force negotiations, Shengfu hurriedly formed an army and appointed Babudhabu as the commander of the Mongol cavalry of Hulunbuir. On the way from Outer Mongolia to Hulunbuir, Babudhabu took in many bandits, horse bandits and rebels who built the Great Mongolian Kingdom, about 2,000 people. With Shengfu's support, he formed a cavalry division nominally known as 5,000 people in one month after Hulunbuir raised a flag to withdraw troops and bought horses.
Although Babuzabu's men gathered together in a hurry, they even had nearly half of their weapons in their hands, such as Mongolian scimitars, they also had their own advantages. On the grassland, they were all natural cavalry, coming and going like the wind, especially on the vast Hulunbuir prairie, the Mongolian cavalry had geographical advantages.
In order to deal with the cavalry of Babudhabu, Zhu Yongquan found the Han people in Gannan County who were driven by Shengfu from Hulunbuir, and investigated the terrain from them, and proposed to the headquarters to recruit these expelled Hulunbuir Han people to join the army as a guide. Wang Maoru happily agreed. After half a month of rest, the 17th Mixed Brigade was stationed in Ganjingzicheng, the county town of Gannan County. At this time, the population of Gannan County was only more than 20,000, and Ganjingzicheng had only more than 8,000 people. Half of them were rushed here by Shengfu two years ago. The arrival of the 17th Mixed Brigade gave this small border town a glimmer of vitality.
