Chapter 119: Rest

Now the 17th Mixed Brigade of the Beiyang Army finally has a place to rest, although this is Ganjingzi City borrowed by Liu Bei from Jingzhou and borrowed from the overseer Zhu Qinglan, but because more than 8,000 people came, Ganjingzi City was also lively. Wang Maoru's soldiers' salaries are six yuan of Yingyang per month, and a piece of Yingyang is exchanged for copper coins is a hanging of money, a hanging of copper coins is one hundred and fifty yuan, and a steamed bun is three yuan of three yuan, which means that three Yingyang is enough to feed a person for a month. However, the 17th Mixed Brigade had a rule that if they did not receive it, the soldiers could deposit their salaries in the army and withdraw them at any time if necessary.

When the soldiers have money, they still feel that it is the safest to carry it in their hands, and no one will put it in the army.

The 17th Mixed Brigade has been walking for two months since Huairou set off, and finally has a home for the first time. And Wang Maoru knew the hard work of the sergeants, sleeping in the open along the way, meeting other warlord armies, encountering bandits, encountering foreign ** teams, and even preventing desertions from affecting the morale of the army, so he was finally able to rest, so he also gave the sergeants some leniency. Sergeants were ordered to take one day off for six days, and the soldiers were given shifts off every weekend.

The big-headed soldiers have money, time, and money, and their local consumption has also greatly stimulated the consumption of Ganjingzi City. There is nothing lacking outside the Guan, what I eat is always mountain delicacies, and I drink red sorghum and burnt knives, except for the cold I can't stand it, everything else is much better than the life in the Guannai. Before the Japanese occupation of Northeast China, the people of Northeast China lived much better than the people of Kannai, and the only modern warlords who dared to fight with the Soviet army were the wealthy Fengzhi Northeast Army.

After adapting to the cold outside the customs, Wang Maoru began to retrain the troops, reorganize them, and let the recruits get used to training. Every morning, the war drums sounded in the barracks, and the soldiers immediately got up to wash, gathered for a run, conducted drills after eating, and learned firearms after lunch, then ran, attacked and defended training, and had free time after dinner, and took a cold shower before going to bed. At first, everyone was afraid of this cold shower, but after Wang Maoru took the lead, stripped naked, and stood naked in front of the sergeants to give himself a cold shower, everyone had to accept this habit.

The gentlemen of the Republic of China did not take a bath so diligently, especially in the army, how could they take a bath every day. However, Wang Dashuai took the soldiers to take a bath every day, except for those who were sick, the whole army, from officers to soldiers, except for the strong men of the people, all had to take a cold shower before they could sleep. Gradually, because of the brigade commander Wang Maoru's demonstration, everyone gradually got used to it, the commander is not afraid, what are we little soldiers afraid of. It's just that the officers below are all young people, and they still admire the commanders who can lead by example. After the arrival of the winter solstice, this daily cold bath stopped, but Wang Maoru was used to a cold bath every day, and everyone in the army was dumbfounded. The wind of worship in the army has also unfolded, and the soldiers do not worship the rank of the officer on their head, how many wives they have, and how much money they have, but whether they can set an example and set an example for the whole army.

The six supplementary battalions are starting training at this time, and this recruit training can be regarded as being carried out, but these recruits are complaining. In particular, this recruit training was in the autumn and winter, and the weather was cold, which also made many recruits unable to stand the training and became sick. However, when Wang Maoru, the commander of the major general and brigade, took many soldiers to run laps every day, practice physical fitness, train combat skills, and endure the same hardships as ordinary soldiers, the complaints gradually disappeared.

On the day of the winter solstice, Wang Maoru received an order to return to Qiqihar to hold a military meeting and discuss the autonomy of Hulunbuir.

In October, Japan attacked Qingdao and occupied Qingdao, causing protests from all over the country, and Japan persecuted the Shandong people in Shandong, and even set up a decree that if one of the Chinese people in a village opposed the Japanese army, the whole village would die, and they regarded Shandong as their own ban.

After seeing the weakness of the Chinese government, the Russians also wanted to cut the flesh on China, so they forced the Beiyang government to sign an unequal treaty in the Sino-Russian-Mongolian Entente, which the Russian side called the Kyakhta Entente, recognizing the autonomy of Outer Mongolia, and China was only the suzerainty of Mongolia, and Boktogogen was the autonomous monarch of Mongolia. After Hulunbuir announced its independence and joined Outer Mongolia, the three sides held multi-party talks around the issue of Hulunbuir. Outer Mongolia hugged the Russians, and the Russians forced the Chinese government to agree to the transfer of Hulunbuir from Heilongjiang Province to the Outer Mongolian government. This was flatly rejected by Bi Guifang, the Chinese representative in charge of the negotiations, and because Yuan Shikai sent Wang Maoru to lead his army north to coerce the Hulunbuir government to cancel its autonomy.

After coming to Qiqihar, Wang Maoru met many high-ranking officials and celebrities in the province in the Overseer's Mansion, and also met the actual controller of the Heilongjiang Army for the first time, Xu Lanzhou, the commander of the Heilongjiang Army Division. However, Xu Lanzhou didn't want to see him, and after seeing Wang Maoru, he turned his head to the side with disdain, expressing his disgust for him.

Xu Lanzhou's party originally planned to give Wang Maoru a good look, but Wang Maoru was good, and he didn't give Xu Lanzhou any face, and directly led the team to Gannan, which embarrassed Xu Lanzhou and his staff, who were waiting for a day at the headquarters of Longjiang Mansion. At this meeting, Xu Lanzhou did not say a word at the army meeting, which also made the overseer Zhu Qinglan extremely embarrassed.

Xu Lanzhou didn't speak, how could anyone under him dare to speak, the more than 40 officers below, almost all of them were Xu Lanzhou's people, the officers brought by Zhu Qinglan were outsiders, and they had no place in the army, and even the police chief was at the mercy of the left and right, not to mention the officers in the army. Wang Maoru took two adjutants and two officers, which gave Zhu Qinglan's men a little confidence.

Xu Lanzhou wanted to overwhelm people with power, but among the many officers, only Yingshun expressed his affection for Wang Maoru, and the others blew their beards and glared at him. But how can Wang Maoru care, his confidence is that he has 7,000 troops under his command, and Xu Lanzhou can't look down on it, and he can't look down on Xu Lanzhou. The two blew their beards and glared at each other, but the meeting ended unhappily. This result made Zhu Qinglan very happy in his heart, and the two generals with heavy troops fought each other, so that he, the nominal overseer, could reap the benefits of the fisherman. In order to protect his own safety and prevent this Xu Lanzhou from secretly causing trouble, Gong Xiaoqi's cavalry battalion and Shang Yuanqing's cavalry team were also brought. Xu Lanzhou learned that it was Wang Maoru's army, and happily arranged for them to be stationed in Qiqihar, which made Xu Lanzhou's subordinates even more angry. Without orders from the Overseers and Xu Lanzhou, they were not allowed to leave the garrison without permission, but Wang Maoru's men could be sheltered by the Overseers.

There is a lot of friction between the two parties in private, and it is not uncommon for them to get off the fire, and there are not a few cases of private fights. Because of the shock of Wang Maoru's cavalry troops, many neutral people gradually moved closer to Zhu Qinglan.

Just a few days after the unhappily dissolved the Heilongjiang Army Conference of the Overseer's Mansion, Bi Guifang, the plenipotentiary representative of the Republic of China for the tripartite negotiations, came to Qiqihar, and to his surprise, Wang Maoru saw a person he was particularly concerned about, Tang Baoqi, the secretary of the negotiations with Russia.
