Chapter 113: Crossing the Yalu River
Immediately, He Changying pessimistically discovered that he was outrageously wrong. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The Battle of Dadonggou took place on the third day after the outbreak of the Pyongyang War, and at the same time as the Pyongyang War began on September 15, the Beiyang Naval Division was already escorting troops to Dadonggou.
In other words, even if he led the new military camp to fight the Japanese army in Pyongyang City, he could make Pyongyang City fall a few days later, and he could not change the fate of this heart-wrenching sea battle!
He Changying's heart was like a knife cut, and her face was as dark as the sky when the rainstorm was coming.
"He's paralyzed!"
He Changying hated a national scolding, and spit the cigarette butt in her mouth into the blue sea.
"Battalion commander, what are you thinking, your face is so ugly?"
Wu Weiyang, deputy commander of the new military battalion, Shen Zhaoao, staff officer of the battalion, and Chen Shijie, deputy commander of the second company, walked over with a strange face.
"It's nothing, Weiyang, after getting off the ship, the order is conveyed that each company and platoon can organize a small number of soldiers to enter Andong City for procurement, and the rest are not allowed to enter Andong City; In times of war, a series of criminal acts such as disturbing the people, buying at a low price, and so on, will be directly shot. ā
He Changying thought for a while and continued: "You should pay attention, our new military camp still lacks military judges, and it will be upgraded to a regimental establishment in the future, and each battalion and company must be equipped with a military judge. ā
Here, He Changying made a vague compromise, changing the name of 'instructor', which might have touched the nerves of some well-intentioned people, to a more neutral word called 'military judge', and giving greater rights to the future 'military judge'.
In He Changying's vision, in the future establishment of battalions and regiments, and even at the division level, it is necessary to form a balanced troika of troika commanders, staff officers, and military judges.
The commander of the unit is in charge of personnel and has command authority over the unit.
Staff officers sort out operational information, draw up operational plans, and issue specific combat missions to the units below.
The military judge is to guide and correct the thinking of soldiers and junior officers; At the same time, violations of military discipline are tried at different levels.
Wu Weiyang and Shen Zhaoao glanced at each other, and immediately avoided each other's gaze.
The battalion commander wanted to completely abandon the original outdated military camp establishment of the Qing Dynasty and fully imitate the Western military system.
If it is transmitted back to China in the future, it is estimated that it will be lively enough for a while.
"Battalion commander, we are about to go to Andong County, Consul Li meant that after we get off the ship, let 'Jiang Shun' wait in Andong for three days, and then send the 2,000 Mauser guns, three Green guns, and 1 million rounds of ammunition to Pyongyang along the water;
Shen Zhaoao's eyes flickered, and there was something in his words.
"Ignore them!"
As soon as she heard Shen Zhaoao say this, He Changying understood why their faces were so strange just now.
He said resolutely: After a while, he will directly unload all the guns when he docks, and he will say that the Datong River Estuary is too dangerous and it is not suitable to transport military funds at this time; I don't think it's a fool to come to 'Jiang Shun', and I'm willing to send him to death. ā
For this batch of firearms that had just been transported from Liangguang, He Changying didn't plan to let them escape from his palm when he got on the ship, otherwise why would he waste so much effort to fool the eye-catching Li Jingfang away.
"It's hard to say about Consul Li's side in the future?"
Although Wu Weiyang also coveted these three green cannons, he was still a little worried in his heart.
After all, Li Jingfang is Li Hongzhang's eldest son, and He Changying intercepted arms without authorization, but it is a taboo in the army.
"The sky is about to fall in the whole of North Korea, and I am still in the mood to care about these little things!"
He Changying said coldly: "Regarding the situation in North Korea, Yuan Shikai and Tang Shaoyi, who have been in Seoul for ten years, see it most clearly, why would they rather offend Li Hongzhang than return to North Korea?" ā
Seeing Wu Weiyang and Shen Zhaoao, Chen Shijie showed a look of surprise, He Changying couldn't help but take out a cigarette and light it:
"Looking at the Beiyang Naval Division, Fang Boqian and Lin Tai were the leaders of the two Ming naval battles, and their vision was outstanding among these pipe belts of the Naval Division; Why did Fang Boqian run away after firing a few shots in the Battle of Toshima, and why did Lin Taizeng resign? It's because they see through it, they see it through. ā
He Changying said faintly: "It is precisely because I understand that I am pessimistic, and it is precisely because of pessimism that I began to gradually decade, avoid war, and get by." ā
"Battalion commander, aren't we going to North Korea?"
Chen Shijie asked puzzled.
"That's what sets us apart from theirs; They see it, so they despair, fall, flee, and become shrunken turtles; And when we see it, we are working hard and cheering up! When I was recruiting soldiers in the Martial Arts Academy, I said that I didn't go to North Korea to mix up the top money and save face, but to fight and die for the country and my family! ā
He Changying looked at the county seat of Andong on the Yalu River estuary, which was becoming clearer and clearer in his field of vision, and said to Wu Weiyang:
"Regarding the situation in Pyongyang City, tonight I will tell you everything that I can't explain thoroughly at Jinmen; Shijie, you go and call John, let's take a photo with a few sailors' pipe bands, and make a future thought and historical witness, alas-"
He Changying let out a long sigh from his mouth.
On August 19, 1894, the new Beiyang military camp landed in Andong County at the mouth of the Yalu River and unloaded a large number of mules, horses and military supplies.
There were 2,000 Mauser guns, 400 fast guns imitated by the Beiyang Ordnance Bureau, which He Changying replaced with French Lebel rifles, three Green guns, 1.28 million rifle bullets, and 20,000 Green gun bullets.
Next, the new military camp was stationed on the banks of the Yalu River outside Andong and repaired for three days.
In the past three days, the new military camp fired nearly 100,000 rounds of bullets in the mountains and forests near Andong County.
Although He Changying had deliberately set up a shooting range in the mountains two miles away from Andong City, the gunfire of 'popping' all day long still frightened the streets of Andong County, and there were no people.
The people of Andong County cursed these scary soldiers and ruffians in fear and got out of here, they didn't have to die well!
During this period, under the instructions of He Changying, the new military camp entrusted Wang Liangliang, the magistrate of Andong County, to spend silver to ask the young yellow-flowered women in the city to embroider a large number of five-star red flags with yellow stars on a red background.
He Changying made some changes to the position and size of the stars, and the others were designed according to the shape that he would know in later generations.
On August 23, when the quadriplegic mules and horses rocking on the boat had recovered their spirits, the new military camp crossed the Yalu River with the assistance of Andong Zhixian, who could not wait to send God.
That night, in North Korea on the south bank of the Yalu River, a bonfire was burning on the shore, and He Changying officially announced that the new military camp for Beiyang cadets had been renamed: Anti-Japanese and Aid Korean Army.
Abbreviated as the Korean Aid Army.
Then, He Changying taught him the fifth military song of the first year of the First Wu Dynasty:
"Volunteer Army Song"
"Male and angry,
Cross the Yalu River.
Defend peace, defend the motherland,
It's to protect your hometown.
Good sons and daughters of China, unite and forge ahead.
Anti-Japanese aid to Korea,
Defeat the Oriental White-Eyed Wolf! āāā
Then, Lu Zhaomei, this guy raised his voice and roared: "When I'm old." ā
Lu Tieleg then shouted at the top of his voice: "I will say it to my child." ā
Lu Zhaomei continued: "Your father has been to the Korean battlefield. ā
"To defend the motherland, to defend the homeland!"
"To defeat the Wakos, to defend the peace!"
"The loud military song is majestic and majestic;
Your fathers went to Korea to fight,
Heroic fighting is the backbone of the nation,
The water of the Yalu River flows quietly,
The loud military song echoed in my ears. ā
