Volume 3 The Four Hundred and Seventy-Second Chapters of Yi Jun Mutiny
The 10th Army Division was adapted from the original Yi Army. For a long time, the Yi Army has many old habits, especially the army has severe military pay. The biggest change after the Yi Army was reorganized into the 10th Division was not only the increase in combat effectiveness, but also the military pay was no longer awarded to soldiers by Shangguan's rewards. All military pay was supervised and distributed by the Finance Department of the Division's Staff Department. The military money consists of three parts: military pay, logistics, and consumption. The officers can no longer reach out. This is much better than the previous distribution of all money by the team officials.
Everything made some commanders from Yijun feel bad, and the team officials gathered together to discuss and complain all day long.
On the contrary, the soldiers' treatment was much better than before. Just look at their passbooks. Some soldiers simply sent their passbooks home and went to the China Bank's military officer salary settlement point on time every month to settle. The soldiers had few families, most of them were not married, and they either spent their money themselves or their parents. Especially after the European War, the silver dollar rose. The original monthly salary of six yuan was equivalent to more than twenty yuan a few years ago, and the soldiers suddenly became rich. The team officials were married and wanted to support their families, especially the officers with many wives and concubines. Although their salary was higher than before, they lost their money. How could they support their first wife?
In the end, the team officials decided to start with the military logistics and food that was responsible for by the bottom, because when redistributed the officers, no officers assigned by the Northeast Frontier Defense Army were military officers, and all military officers were veterans or relatives of Yijun. The original food standard for Yijun was only half a cent per day. After being incorporated into the Northeast Frontier Defense Army, the daily food consumption of soldiers increased to four cents, and soldiers could even eat meat every meal. After discussing, the Yijun's team officials decided to deduct the food to a standard of one cent. Everyone was greedy for three cents a day for food. Don't underestimate these three cents. The 10th Division had 24,000 people. The 10th Division could make 720 yuan a day, more than 20,000 yuan a month, and more than 250,000 yuan a year.
The price of a courtyard house in Beijing is 600, which is the price of a large mansion with three entrances in front, middle and back of the bannerman.
Everyone can pay one for 250,000 yuan. It can compensate for the previous losses.
However, after two months of high-quality food, the soldiers were facing a situation of not having enough food, and they were full of anger. They jointly launched an attack under the agitation of young and middle-aged officers in the army, which first triggered a mutiny among some Yi soldiers. More than a dozen soldiers shouted the slogans of punishing military officers and protested in front of the 10th Division headquarters, which aroused the follow-up protests from other military soldiers. Mi Zhenbiao was furious and ordered severe punishment. The 10th Division military police immediately dispatched, after all, they were all in the army. The military police only beat the protest soldiers with military sticks.
However, the act of beating protesters aroused public anger. The soldiers, who were originally angry because or were denied, immediately returned to the barracks and brought out weapons to fight with Mi Zhenbiao's personal soldiers and the military police. The first thing that retreated was the military police. The military police's food was also deducted, and they were not satisfied. Moreover, the commander of the military police also graduated from Yakeshi Military Academy. He immediately led the military police to join the protesters.
Dozens of Mi Zhenbiao's personal soldiers died in this conflict. Even a military officer of Mi Zhenbiao's confidant came to speak, but was shot and died on the spot. Then, the furious soldiers surrounded the division headquarters of the 10th Division. They demanded severe punishment of corrupt officers, strict military discipline, and asked Mi Zhenbiao to step down.
The news of the 10th Division's mutiny shocked everyone, because there has never been a soldier mutiny since the Northeast Frontier Defense Forces began to be formed. Wang Maoru is famous for cherishing his soldiers. Everyone regards Wang Maoru as an idol, and how can he mutiny?
After listening to the report carefully, Wang Maoru felt that he was a little troublesome. The Yijun officers thought that they had made less money now than before, so they deducted the treatment of soldiers. Ordinary soldiers rely on the support of the radical young officers sent by Wang Maoru in the army to defeat the superiors and strongly demanded that the officers from Yijun be squeezed away. There was a big conflict between the two sides. Of course, among them, the young officers from Yakeshi Military Academy wanted to gain power. After all, not all of them were corrupt, and some were forced. The superiors were corrupt. How could the subordinates advance and retreat together if they were not greedy? This is also a major feature of Chinese officials, which was effective from the upper hand.
In order to test the ability of his new chief of staff, Wang Maoru asked Xiong Bingtao what he thought about this. Xiong Bingtao had long known that Wang Maoru had long been dissatisfied with the officers of the Yi army, but at this time the army was fighting abroad. If it was annexed Yi army at once, it would definitely be bad, so he explained his thoughts and considerations one by one.
Wang Maoru listened carefully and nodded and said, "I have thought of your considerations, let me tell you about your solution."
Xiong Bingtao said: "This mutiny must be to kill those corrupt military officers. As for the Yi army officers behind it, they cannot be killed, but they can be transferred and transferred to other troops to serve as equal-level officers. As long as we put Mi Zhenbiao overthrow it, it is enough to control the Yi army."
Wang Maoru nodded and said, "This matter has to be done slowly, and the dispatch of officers will be discussed when we arrive at the Kazan front line. We will keep it unchanged during the march." The soldiers in the 10th Division had many years of combat experience, not because they had weak combat power, but because they were too poor in equipment and insufficient military pay, and the commander was lazy and developed a casual temperament. But if they really fought, the combat power of these veterans was far greater than that of the young officers in their blood.
The First Army Command then punished the relevant personnel of the 10th Division's mutiny. The mutiny soldiers were caused by the law, so the law did not punish the public and did not punish them. All military officers who detained military rations were shot. After more than 100 military officers were killed, all military officers were selected from the soldiers. In fact, Wang Maoru also knew that more than 100 military officers were killed this time, and many of them must have been wronged. Many of them were forced to be corrupt by Mi Zhenbiao and other team officials. But at this time, he could not move Mi Zhenbiao and others, and could only sacrifice these chess pieces, which basically stabilized the sentiments of the soldiers. However, the opposition between the greedy officers of Yi's army and the young officers did not eliminate, and even became deeper.
After suppressing the mutiny of the 10th Division, Wang Maoru warmly welcomed Mi Zhenbiao and others, comforting them not to think too much. Since they are their subordinates, they must be fine. But the mutiny of soldiers caused by greed for ink and military rations will definitely kill people. I know that those who die are your confidants, and there is nothing we can do about it. Mi Zhenbiao and others naturally knew that this was not bad for the big deal, so they honestly accepted Wang Maoru's arrangement.
After the completion, the Chinese Interference Army continued to set off on the Siberian Railway to head towards the Ukrainian Front. After passing through the lush Siberian Forest, at the end of April, the First Army of the Chinese Interference Army arrived at the Ukrainian Front. At this time, the Paris Peace Conference had entered the most critical moment of negotiations.
Tsar Nicholas II set up the General Command of the Tsarist Russian Empire in Ufa. The emperor personally went to the front line to take charge. Tsarist Russian soldiers doubled their courage and repelled several Soviet attacks in succession. However, Tsarist Russia also suffered heavy losses, lacking food, weapons, ammunition, medical supplies, military uniforms, and even tools. It could not be transported by a large Siberian railway day and night. This large Siberian railway not only had to transport supplies, but also supplies, and was also attacked by Soviet guerrillas at all times.
After arriving in Ufa, Wang Maoru met his old friend Berevilge again, but this time the relationship between the two was different. Berevilge was the mercenary division commander, and now he is the chief of staff of the Royal Tsarist Army.
"Dear King, we're meeting again." Berevelger now has a big beard, his face has become much haggard and a lot more crazier, but his military uniform and boots are still clean and tidy. He hugged Wang Maoru enthusiastically and said, "Welcome to you."
Wang Maoru smiled and said, "Long time no see, old friend Andrei, I have been together for more than two years, but you have become much older."
Berevelger smiled bitterly and said, "There is no way, the opponent we are facing is the most evil organization in the world." Wang Maoru laughed when he heard his speech. The two talked about the past and recent forms again. They learned that the Third Army, which originally assembled troops in Omsk, had to set out in advance because of the emergency front-line war. This is why they did not meet with Turecher in Omsk as planned.
Speaking of Turechel, Berevilger's expression dimmed and said, "Hasek Turechel sacrificed his life for the country on the main battlefield of Kazan last month." So when the third battle in Kazan came, the two sides invested millions of troops in Kazan to attack each other. The Soviet Union facilitated the two armies of the 1st Army's 4th Army's two armies to attack Kazan for a long time but failed to descend. The Soviet Union lost more than 300,000 troops. The commander of the Eastern Front Vatedith was dismissed and Kamenev took over as commander of the Eastern Front.
Kamenev replaced Vates as commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front not only because Vates was unfavorable to the Tsarist Russian Belarus Army, but also an important reason was the result of internal power struggles among the Soviet Union. Vatesdis was a loyal subordinate of Trotsky, the founder of the Red Army. Lenin was vigilant about Trotsky's gradual growth, so Kamenev returned to China as a special commissioner of the National Defense Commission against Trotsky's chief of staff.
Stalin, who had always had a feud with Trotsky, also jumped out and launched impeachment several times, accusing Trotsky of all kinds of ineffectiveness and launched a bloodless political fight under Lenin's move and reconciliation. At this time, Vatediz lost his troops and generals, so Stalin and Kamenev pointed their finger at Trotsky's subordinate Vatediz. In the end, the Supreme Soviet Military Commission discussed and decided that Kamenev would serve as the front-line commissioner to replace Vatediz as the commander-in-chief of the Soviet Eastern Front.
