Chapter 180 The First Division
Chapter 180 First Division (third update! Additional update! Please give me a monthly ticket!)
Nanjing, formerly in the Jiangsu Army First Division, the former Jiangning Xuedaoyamen, stood outside the gate of Xuedaoyamen with lights on, and there were more than a dozen guards with white armbands with "Xian" characters. These were guards sent by the military police headquarters. In the conference room converted into the signing room of Xuedaoyamen, more than a dozen brigade commanders of the Jiangsu Army First Division were all here.
Unlike the Eighth Division, the commander of the First Division, Zhou Yingshi, had already left Nanjing before Huang Xing and others left Nanjing. The current First Division had long been in a group of leaders. According to the secret telegram from Jiangsu Governor Cheng Dequan, they are now waiting for the new commander to take office.
"You guys say, will that horse black-faced bring money to you?"
"Silver? Will Cheng Dequan have silver?"
"If there is no money to pay military salaries, the troops will be subject to the ** Party movement sooner or later."
"But no matter whether Ruma Heibei is a teacher, at least we don't have to worry about this or that..."
"No, at least, the one with Ma Heichao's heart is just a male character."
While the brigade commanders were talking, Ma Nanpo pushed the door and walked in. Behind him were more than a dozen pistol soldiers with short guns inserted at the waist and followed him. When everyone saw the pistol soldiers, they knew that he might have convinced the Eighth Division.
Unlike the Eighth Division, the First Division was never a "** Army". Although the first division, with the Jiangsu New Army as the main body, made great contributions to the restoration of Jiangsu two years ago, in fact, during the "secondary" period, the First Division had no effect on the so-called "** Army". When Zhou Yingshi was acting as the commander of the First Division, many officers who were "unaware of the current affairs" were driven away, but many officers were left behind.
Although Ma Nanpo served as a judge in the First Division when he was in the Jiangsu Army, most of the officers of the First Division were in old friendships, and when he was restoration in Nanjing, he even formed a bloody friendship. At this time, these people suddenly saw that the "Ma Blackface" who spoke for the righteousness of Lin Hu's Regiment had arrived, and they all jumped up, hugged them and saluted them, shaking hands, which seemed extremely intimate.
The struggles between factions in the past two years have made them quite fond of this "Ma Hei-faced" who was forced to resign because of the factional dispute. This is why they willingly agreed to Lin Dequan's order and did not "refer the chief on their own."
The scene in front of him only made Ma Nanpo feel very comfortable. He was living and dying with him and not living with him. He has been separated for so long, but now he is still so warm when he meets him.
Ma Nanpo smiled and said with a smile.
"Brig Commander, when I was fighting Nanjing two years ago, I remember that my brothers and I fought the Lion Mountain Fortress together. If you weren't dragging the enemy in front, you probably wouldn't be able to hit the fortress. Even my head would probably be cut off by the shells." As he said, he patted Ji Yiqiao's shoulder and said.
"Thinking about it is just like yesterday. The love on the battlefield will never be forgotten by brothers in this life."
Ji Yiqiao, a typical military man, listened to Ma Nanpo's words, and the friendship between the two men appeared in front of him and immediately spoke.
"Ma Heizi...No, division commander"
"Teacher Commander? Ma Heizi?"
Ma Nanpo nodded thoughtfully.
"I like to hear this name, I haven't forgotten the old ones."
Han Fuju walked to Xu Tao, the commander of the Second Brigade, and raised his hand and punched him in the chest.
"Xu Huzi, I remember that our brothers gathered together halfway through the road. The earliest battle? I remember that you were so panicked at that time. Finally, I let my brother kick me, and then I caught you on the front line. Now I am promising and become a brigade commander."
Listening to Ma Nanpo's words, everyone laughed, and Xu Tao's eyes were filled with joy and respect.
"If I don't have a brother's kick, I'm afraid that this... I will beat him up, and I will definitely recognize my brother. Lin Hu's incident... In the blink of an eye, a few years have passed. I'm thinking about the past two years, thinking that it's better to be happy and fair when the black-faced brother is here."
Nodding vigorously, Ma Nanpo looked at Wu Hao, the commander of the Third Brigade, and he was not an old acquaintance with him.
"Braft Commander Wu, although we are not old friends, everyone who knows that I am a bad person knows that in my heart, there is no saying about old friends and old friends. Only fairness and justice can be used to treat brothers and subordinates.
Fair, just
As soon as these words were said, Wu Hao's heart trembled. He looked at Ma Nanpo's white face and could not bear the black face. But everyone in Ma Nanpo knew what this black face said was "black face is ruthless". This is a sentence that everyone often said when they mentioned him.
At the time when the Eighth Division was coaxed, Lin Hu's regiment was forced to do so. Even Lin Hu's old relatives and friends in Nanjing did not say a word for him. Only Ma Nanpo, a military judge who had no friendship with Lin Hu, spoke for him for justice. The words "fairness and justice" were said from others, but no one would doubt it.
"Sir, thank you"
Standing attentively, Wu Hao didn't say anything. As long as Ma Hei-faced could do these four words, he recognized the commander. At this time, Ma Nanpo talked to the other six commanders and chiefs of staff one by one, and mentioned the old things that shared life and death and were happy about the military prosperity, just like women sitting on the kang and chatting about family matters. As more than a dozen men talked, they held the brothers left behind in Monkey Mountain and Tianbao City that year, and even couldn't help crying, and Ma Nanpo also had a hoarse voice.
After saying this, Ma Nanpo then pulled over a chair and sat carelessly, waved his hand to show everyone to sit down. At this moment, there were no outsiders in the room, and most of the so-called "outsiders" had already left.
Looking at everyone, Ma Nanpo sighed.
"When the Wuchang Army was in Guangxi, I came from Hubei, Hunan, and Jiangsu. They are all in the mountains, south and north of the sea. What is the purpose? The purpose is just four words: "country" and "national""
When more than a dozen brigade commanders and chiefs of staff heard this, they were stunned.
"We are Chinese. We were against the Qing Dynasty in the past for China's prosperity and national independence, but what are we doing now? The Republic of China has been built, and the country should build itself, but what have the brothers done? Today I am here to understand the words in my heart. What can we fight this battle? The brothers are bleeding and die for whom the party said that the president killed Song Jiaoren, but those murderers were safe and sound without personal affairs when they were in the concession. Once they were handed over here, they died. They said that the president ordered people to silence them. The people don't know, so we don't know, who is the world of Shanghai? The Shanghai police, who is in charge of the prison? I am a soldier, and I only recognize two words in my mind. The country is confused, and I don't want my brothers to fight."
After a brief speech, Ma Nanpo glanced at everyone and saw that they seemed to be thinking, so he continued to talk.
"We should be soldiers of the country, fight for right and wrong with martial arts, and judge right and wrong with martial arts. Wouldn't that be the strong fist and who is in charge of the family? This civil war is a shame for our soldiers, and even more a shame for our Republic of China. I don't know that Sun Yat-sen is righteous, and I don't hear of Yuan Shikai's great rebellion, but Ma made up his mind to fight the national war. I, Ma, don't frown or blink. If I take a step back, Ma, loses his sons and grandsons, but if I fight such a confused civil war, even if the gun is pressed against my forehead, I will not fight, nor will my brothers fight, I, Ma, do not be a sinner of the country, nor do I want us, brothers who share life and death, to be sinners of the country."
Everyone listened to Ma Nanpo finish his words without blinking. Most of them were unwilling to fight such a foolish battle. Xu Tao came back to his senses and immediately said loudly:
"Teacher, we won't fight this battle, but if it is in the north..."
Before he could finish his words, Ma Nanpo waved his hand and said directly.
"In the north, there are naturally people going to negotiate. As soldiers, we don't care about political affairs! We cannot be ambitious or political parties if they deceive the people, and for their own interests, they will fall into the hilt of their own and do things that will chaotic the country."
Ma Nanpo's only sounded like a thunderbolt, which sounded above everyone's heads, leaving everyone stunned.
"The commander said it very well. This kind of raising troops and chaotic governments and using martial arts to reduce right and wrong is a dead end that harms the country and the people. We cannot make mistakes again and again."
As soon as Ji Yiqiao finished speaking, Xu Tao immediately followed suit.
"If this battle starts, if we say a thousand words, the people will suffer. Our brothers were not in the military for the purpose of serving as the soldiers and eating food. As the division commander said, we are in the military for the country and the nation. We have done this before, but it is against our will and unwilling our wishes. Now that the division commander has come, we can't make mistakes again and again."
After saying that, Xu Tao stood up and said.
"Teacher Commander, let's listen to you, cancel independence, and respond to Governor Cheng"
Then several other regiment commanders also echoed. Listening to their words, Ma Nanpo just smiled, and then turned his attention to Wu Hao. He didn't want to "movement troops" and didn't want to force people with force.
"Teacher Ma" Li Wenhe, the leader of the Sixth Regiment, suddenly stood up and spoke.
"Yuan Shikai wants to go to the top, how can we sit and watch?"
His words made Ma Nanpo look cold and said coldly.
"Yuan Shikai wants to do it, but there is a prefecture for the Congress. If the soldiers are not in power, please remember it."
After talking, Ma Nanpo raised his eyes again.
"If Captain Li intends to ask about politics, please take off his military uniform."
"You..." When Li Wenhe wanted to argue, he listened to Wu Hao's speech.
"Teacher Commander, the First Division has been cut off for two months now. If the military pay is not paid early, I'm afraid..."
"The military pay matter will be solved tomorrow"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the entrustment room was shocked. The First Division had more than 7,000 people in six regiments, and the military salary for two months was more than 200,000.
Ma Nanpo suddenly waved his hand and glanced at the people in the room and said.
"After paying, I would like to ask you to take care of your duties. The soldiers are not in charge. Please remember it. If so... don't blame Ma for turning against him at that time."
