19 12 One morning in mid-April, Zhang, the military inspector of Henan Province, was working in the inspector's office of Kaifeng, the provincial capital, and had nothing to do. He picked up a copy of Shenbao and browsed it. Suddenly, a message came into view, reporting in detail that Zhang Auditorium in the county was blackmailed by "white bandits". Zhang flew into a rage after reading it and called Wang Pihuan, the chief of staff, to the office. Before Wang sat down, Zhang shook the newspaper loudly and shouted at him, "What do you think is the news in this newspaper? It's embarrassing for the Yu army. It's unheard of for robbers to rob officials. It's outrageous. You should inform Xuchang and Ruzhou to station troops immediately and go to the bandit area as soon as possible to wipe out all the bandits in Baofeng, Lushan and Jiaxian. "
Wang Pihuan read the report under Zhang's reprimand. The more he looked at his hands, the more he trembled, and sweat oozed from his forehead. He wiped his sweat impatiently and said, "Yes! Yes! Please rest assured that the supervisor will follow your instructions as soon as possible. " Then, as an aide, Wang Pihuan issued the order to suppress bandits in Xuchang and Ruzhou on a large scale.
Wu Hongchang (battalion commander), the 23rd bid (regiment) of the Sixth Town (Division) of Beiyang Army stationed in Xuchang, received instructions from his boss to thoroughly investigate the bandits' situation, adjust the deployment, purge the army and other reasons, hoping to delay the action, prevaricate in the past and dare not rashly lead the team to attack the bandit areas in southwest Henan.
It turned out that Xuchang garrison was separated from the bandit area by mountains and rivers, and there were many concerns. It took a long time to study and formulate detailed operational plans, so the action was slow and the suppression was far away.
The Beiyang Army 13 Battalion stationed in Ruzhou, seeing that Xuchang has shown no signs of action, thinks that there are not many opportunities, so it is necessary to take the lead, seize the opportunity and get started quickly. The conductor of the wind band led an aggressive team to approach the lair temple of the white wolf in the northeast of Baofeng City. He wanted to take advantage of his excellent weapons, equipment and well-trained soldiers to eat white wolves and other bandits in one fell swoop, so as to shine brilliantly in Henan military circles and take credit in front of the governor.
I am young and energetic. He thinks that after a battle, he can beat the fragile robber Poles to pieces. Unexpectedly, when he entered the Huanggao Temple, he accidentally closed his eyes. He became angry from embarrassment and began to take it out on the civilians, shooting all the squires and hungry people who greeted him outside Nanzhai. After the Beiyang army hacked like a demon, it broke into the street with red eyes, killing if it can, and killing if it can. It is even more unscrupulous for officers and men to break into houses. When they met men, they said they were shot. They walked away when they saw women stripped naked and raped. For six days, except those who escaped, more than half of them became ghosts under the knife of Beiyang Army.
After the murder of Huanggaomiao, I felt that this was not enough and wanted to get back some property. I have long heard that Renzhai on the Ruhe River is a land of wealth. I thought to myself, why not make a fortune in the name of beating bandits and let the brothers enrich themselves and come back? It was with this idea that he led his troops to the village. The soldiers clamored to enter the village to investigate the bandits. People in the village heard that these people killed innocent people in Huanggao Temple. They were afraid to bring wolves into the house or open the door. The Beiyang army forced its way into the village on the grounds that it did not cooperate with the investigation of bandits and chaos, and fought all day and one night. Beiyang army paid a heavy price for the destruction of the village. After entering the village, the soldiers frantically cut off the heads of the villagers who did not escape. After the woman was raped, she made up a knife. Tear it in half when you meet a child. The sun shines on the muddy street, and the small pits formed by blood pools are connected together, sticky like a soaking rain. The water in the village is like a red ribbon in the sun, and the property in the village has also been looted by these wolf-like Beiyang troops.
Beiyang army slaughtered the second village, killing people like hemp, and looked arrogant. In fact, it didn't even see the shadow of the general. The goal was not achieved, and the war caused dissatisfaction among local people. The squire of Baofeng formed a "* * * group" and rushed to Kaifeng, the provincial capital ... Zhang learned that Yu Beiyang had killed innocent people under the banner of fighting bandits, angrily reprimanded Wang Pihuan, the chief of staff, and asked Yu to be stationed in Linru and Baofeng.
Yu's sweeping didn't stop the movement of the pole. Blanc's power grew rapidly after being supplemented, and Poles from all walks of life followed suit. Du Qibin had to sit up and take notice of Blanc and Qin (Gao Yong Cheng).
The frequent activities of the swordsmen make Dayingzhai, a special market town, a nest where all poles meet. According to Wang Pihuan's instructions, Yu moved more than 65,438,000 people to Dayingzhai to get close to the bandits and deter them by force.
Du Qibin, after learning this news, joined Poles such as Blanc, joined more than 400 people and ambushed the ancestral temple depression east of Li Wenyi with guns in advance. This is an east-west red soil ridge, which is the only way for Baofeng to reach the camp. After the team arrived, they chose the terrain and hid it in the vegetation on both sides of the road.
On the morning of the same day, more than 100 Yu Jun, led by Zhao Shaochang, walked towards the low-lying area of Zushi Temple near noon with their guns and hats tilted. After walking more than 30 miles from Baofeng City, the soldiers were already sweating, and everyone complained and swore. Suddenly, gunshots came from the trees on both sides, bullets flew around, shouting for death, and soldiers rushed over like mountain soldiers. Beiyang army, the division of victory, has never encountered such a style of play. In addition, people are hungry and thirsty, and people are distracted. It won't even pretend to fight back. It retreats, dies, falls, and then runs away.
After learning that Zhao Shaochang's attack failed, he flew into a rage. He made up his mind to fight the Poles to the death and led more than 200 people to the camp to suppress them quickly. However, after this team entered the camp, it was like a tiger eating the sky, and there was no shadow of bandits. I had to lead a team to the village "Bright Team" near Niangniang Mountain and Qingcaoling. The so-called "bright team" is a parade, and villagers who are not pleasing to the eye shoot and kill them, saying that the guns went off or falsely claiming that "bandits" were executed. In this way, for more than half a month, the Beiyang army waded through mountains and rivers, set out during the day and returned at night. The soldiers were so angry that they secretly scolded: "Stop the bandits, stop the bandits, where are the bandits?" The leg was broken, and people were exhausted. There was no sign of bandits. "
Yu Jun's "bright team" aroused the anger of the villagers. Many people found Du Qibin and begged him to drive the Beiyang Army out of the camp. Du Qibin also thinks it's time to send Guo Yide, the "second-in-command" (deputy leader), to make an agreement with Blanc and Qin (Gao Yong Cheng) to contact the hidden Poles to raid the camp after the loyalist is exhausted. He confidently said to Blanc, "For my Poles, this is the second time to attack the camp. The spearhead is directed at the garrison of Beiyang Army. Although firearms are inferior, as long as the poles cooperate closely, they will win. "
Blanco said worriedly, "I know from the fiasco of defeating the Zhang Guan camp that every small battle should not be underestimated. I don't think we can attack violently this time. We can send smart brothers to dress up as businessmen and vendors to carry weapons, mix in the village and use relatives. "
On the fourth day of May, just before the Dragon Boat Festival, every household was busy preparing for the festival, and the Beiyang Army was already exhausted. According to the prior agreement, all poles go from different places to the ridges and Woods outside the village. Just after midnight, there was a "bang" outside the village. In an instant, the gunshots of Sizhaimen exploded at the same time, which was deafening. People lurking in the village, hearing the gunfire outside the village, quickly set fire, took advantage of the chaos to open the west gate and the south gate, and the pole pushed into the village.
I fell asleep in Shanshan Guild Hall when I suddenly heard gunshots everywhere. He expected that something bad would happen and was busy leading the team to occupy a favorable position to counter the invading bandits. The soldiers were tired of fighting bandits all day. Judging from the gunfire coming from the village outside the village at the same time, the village was surrounded. They are afraid and unwilling to fight. I can't help it when I see that the Poles are so fierce. A big fire lit the Shanshan Guild Hall, and suddenly the smoke filled the sky and the red light reflected the sky. He led the team to retreat from the north gate by the firelight.
Yu, who had never suffered defeat, was defeated by bandits and felt ashamed and regretful. In the dim night, I staggered back to the north with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Who knows that Sanshanzhai met the "living king of Yan State" and the "eldest brothers" Cui Gan, Yang Sui and Wei Yuchuan in the pull rod of the Python River, and successively intercepted and killed them. After I escaped from danger, I was in shock and suddenly heard a noise ahead. The rest of me, afraid of being intercepted by bandits, fired first. As soon as the gunfire rang, five ox carts and the people who escorted the steamed bread to Yujun were scared to leave the ox carts and run for their lives. In the chaos, nearby villagers saw the owner escape and snatched the steamed bread pulled by the car.
It is precisely because of the pervasive and numerous maggots that villagers robbed steamed buns and sent troops to nearby villages where steamed buns were lost, and nearly 100 young and middle-aged people were arrested and handed over to Ruzhou Military Law Office. Knowing that these young people were innocent and could not ask questions, the military judge asked vaguely, "Have you eaten steamed bread?" It's time for the wheat strike. Who hasn't eaten steamed stuffed bun? To this question, most people answer: "Eat." Only a few people replied, "I haven't eaten yet."
In this way, all young adults who said they ate steamed buns were beheaded by military courts for banditry.
