Nanyuan Military Camp.

It is the location of the barracks of the royal armies of all dynasties in history. The Western-style red brick barracks here are still the barracks of the Imperial Guards when the new army was organized in the late Qing Dynasty. After the founding of the Republic of China, the Imperial Guards were demobilized, and then the Nanyuan Military Camp was stationed.

After entering the First Division of the Army, troops were slowly transferred out. It was not until the officer and non-commissioned officer model corps was established that Nanyuan Military Camp became lively again.

For China in 1916, to a certain extent, Nanyuan Military Camp was almost the alma mater of the officers and non-commissioned officers of the Chinese Army. According to the regulations of the Ministry of the Army, Army dispatched officers must undergo training in the Officer Model Corps for half a year before they can enter

Basic troops, and each division also needs to recommend soldiers to enter Nanyuan Military Camp to receive non-commissioned officer training.

Now compared with the past, although the Nanyuan Military Camp has not expanded, many new buildings have been built in the camp. Those old military camps cannot meet the needs of the increasingly large officer model regiment and non-commissioned officer training regiment. Here, the officers

Accept more rigorous, German-style officer education, and non-commissioned officers receive basic team combat training here, learning how to assist officers in commanding troops on the battlefield, how to build fortifications, how to organize attacks, and how to operate machine guns.

Although both the Officer Model Corps and the Non-commissioned Officer Training Corps were just institutions created by Yuan Shikai for his own benefit at the beginning, in fact, after two years of organization and adjustment, especially the introduction of a large number of German instructors to implement strict German-style

After the training charter, even the original opponents had to admit a reality - its establishment has greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the squadron.

This may be an unintentional gain.

War has always been extremely cruel, and death is inevitable. After the expeditionary force was organized, for the expeditionary force that introduced the Jiangsu Army's emphasis on "the leading role of officers," the leadership of officers meant sacrifice, and a large number of officer casualties.

This forced the rear to increase efforts in training officers.

In the fourth year of the Republic of China, the number of students enrolled in various military academies across the country was only a few thousand, but in the fifth year of the Republic of China, the total number of students enrolled in each military academies reached 5,000. But the training of military officers takes time. For this reason, the simplest solution is,

It is to train student officers. Young people who have received high school education or above can become a barely qualified officer after a short training. Therefore, considering the casualties on the battlefield, in January of the fifth year of the Republic of China, the Ministry of War agreed that the model regiment would directly

Recruit young students as supplementary officers.

In the 5 years of the Republic of China, there were not many high schools in China. High schools were concentrated in provincial capitals or a few big cities. High school students were indeed quite rare. Among the 2,000 officers in the fourth phase of the Officer Model Corps, there were only 500 high school students.

Or military cadets with the same education level. After all, for those students, the better choice is to enter college and find a suitable job after a few years.

When signing up for the fifth model regiment in July, perhaps benefiting from the Expeditionary Force's Somme victory and the unprecedented improvement in military status, a large number of young students signed up to join the model regiment. Although these young students came from many provinces, some of them

Quite a lot of people have one characteristic - the Longhai coast. Thanks to the emphasis on education over the years, the Longhai coast not only has 70% of China's technical school students, but also 65% of China's high school students and 75% of the population.

College students.

The patriotic enthusiasm of these young students was infected by news movies and moved by the sensational heroes in newspapers. Young and energetic, they chose to join the army and command France to serve the country. The country, for these young people with patriotic aspirations,

For them, it has always been the term that most touches the depths of their souls.

"The history of the country clearly marks the first achievement! China will be called Changxiong from now on!"

"Expedition to Europe and show off the might of our great Han Dynasty!"

The ubiquitous slogans in the Nanyuan Military Camp remind every young man here of their mission and responsibility. As a "martial arts" training base, every day, heavy tasks are carried out here.

Military coursework and military training are going on intensely. After all, for many of them, they only have half a year to complete all officer coursework and military training...

However, recently, as the leader of the model group, Jiang Baili unexpectedly discovered that in the past month, the atmosphere in the model group seemed to be a little not right. As for what was wrong, he had never known it. It was just because of a

Due to the sensitivity of military personnel, perhaps those military cadets train harder and work harder in their studies, but the atmosphere is still different from the past.

"The waves in the Miluo Yuan are turbulent, and the clouds are flying beside the Wushan Mountain; I am independent in the dim and turbid world, and my indignation is burning and my blood is flowing; the powerful only know how to be proud of their family status, but there are really few people among them who are worried about the country; the rich and powerful only know how to boast about accumulating wealth, and the country is in another country.

There is no way for the mind to think; when a sage sees the decline of a country, fools are still dancing in the world. The rise and fall of governing chaos is like a dream, and the world is really like a game of chess;..."

Holding the poem he had just received from a student with trembling hands, Jiang Baili's brows were furrowed, and he realized that perhaps the student's change was precisely because of this word, because the poem contained

The poem expresses a deep sense of concern for the country and the people. For young people, what can touch their feelings more than the country? For these young people who join the military with patriotism, this poem has a profound impact on reality.

The disclosure is more attractive to them.

"Under the spring sky of China's revolution, men are united for justice! There are millions of soldiers in their hearts, and their loyal souls are scattered after death; the rotten corpses pass by, and this body is floating in the clouds. Worrying about the country, stand forward, and men's singing starts from now on! ...

"

After reading this, Jiang Baili's heart trembled slightly. The first half of this poem exposes the current domestic reality, but this sentence encourages young people to devote themselves to changing the country. What kind of poem is it here? It is clearly encouraging

Sound the battle cry.

"The sky is furious and the earth is shaking; the roaring is very loud; those who sleep in eternal tribulation cannot sleep; China is awakening now; look at the clouds hanging in the sky; and listen to the roar of the four waves, the opportunity for innovation has arrived; a storm rises at night and sweeps China; the heaven and earth

In this world, we are desolate people. We are confused and don’t know where we are. Those who once boasted about their glory and splendor in this world can still see their tall buildings. Fame is just a trace in a dream, only sincerity will never fade away. Life is just a matter of emotion, and no one can comment on success or failure. The song of Li Sao sings loudly.

Come on, the tragic song of generosity ends today. With the sharp sword at my waist, there is a pool of blood in the clearing sea..."

Reciting this poem, which is similar to a battle horn, Jiang Baili's heart is agitated, and this agitation is more uneasy. What impact will this poem have on young people?

Will they chant, "Fame is just a dream, only sincerity will never fade away." Will they do more than what a pure soldier should do?

As the head of the officer corps, Jiang Baili knows these young people better than anyone else. He knows that these young officer cadets are completely different from the previous trainees of the model corps. More than 60% of them graduated from Longhai

In the high schools along the line, the spirit of education in Longhai is "nationalism" and "dedication". Compared with children from other places, they are more patriotic, more susceptible to incitement, more concerned about politics, and of course more

——Spirit of sacrifice.

According to the reports he received, when the expeditionary force was fighting in France, those young officers from Longhai had a more sacrificial spirit and were willing to sacrifice everything for the country. They were like this on the battlefield, but...

Looking at this poem, Jiang Baili couldn't help but feel worried. For a moment, an unprecedented sense of fear spread in his heart. He seemed to see the scene he least wanted to see - young officers becoming the driving force for change.

who.

Soldiers should be pure and not involved in politics. The duty of a soldier is very simple. To defend the country, not...

Thinking of this poem, which was extremely inciting to the emotions of the young officers, the whole person felt uneasy for a moment. He was afraid that these young people, who were prone to getting excited, would become...

"They must not..."

When night falls, it seems to be a bit cold in the early autumn night. Except for the star officers on duty in the Nanyuan military camp, the other sergeants have already gone to bed. The heavy schoolwork and training have exhausted their energy almost every day.

After standing at the sentry post for a while, the duty officer holding a rifle on duty in the camp heard the movement in the barracks. He looked around and saw that there seemed to be no movement, and waved to the barracks behind him.

Several dark figures flashed out of the barracks...

"Be careful on your way there!"

The duty officer looked at these students and gave serious instructions. He looked nervous, as if he was afraid that they would be discovered.

"rest assured!"

"We are all wearing casual clothes. No one will notice us!"

From the conversation between these people, it seems that these officers want to escape from the military camp and leave the camp quietly. They don’t know what they are going to do. For the military camp that implements a strict camp service system,

It is strictly forbidden to enter or exit at night. Obviously these people are not "obedient" characters.

Maybe they went out to find a brothel to spend money, maybe... who knows? Several black figures quietly walked out of the camp, crossed the training ground, and leaned against the wall. One of them immediately squatted down with his hands crossed.

Standing between his knees, someone immediately stepped on his palm and used his strength to climb up the wall. Their movements were extremely fast. After crossing the wall one after another, the last person was assisted by his comrades on the wall.

They jumped over the wall. It was obvious from how quickly they moved that they had definitely not neglected their training.

Although it is outside the city, the street lights on the main streets outside the city are still bright late at night. These continuous street lights are like pearls in the night, lighting up the streets of the city. The appearance of these street lights is

To a certain extent, this means that the city of Beijing has changed in the past two years. Like many cities in China, it is also developing rapidly. Electricity has become popular in this city at an unprecedented speed.

Under the illumination of the street lights, several young people in student uniforms walked quickly along the roadside. It seemed that they were just a few young people who stayed at school a little late. However, if anyone paid attention, they would see them on the roadside.

From time to time, he looked at the surrounding environment with his peripheral vision. Although the young people were wearing casual clothes, anyone could tell the identity of this young man at a glance by looking at their waists and the way they walked.

soldier!

Only soldiers who have received strict training can walk that kind of gait. If it were one person, it might not attract others' attention, but it happened to be several people. At this time, these young soldiers appeared on the street.

, maybe they are soldiers who sneak out of the camp to play at night. No matter how strict the management of the military camp is, this is always inevitable, but in this early autumn night, on this deserted street, no one noticed their existence.

,

The young people quickly turned into a dark alleyway. Under the cover of darkness, the young people came to the depths of the alleyway. Then they stood in front of a wooden door and gently clicked the door knocker a few times. The sound of the clicks was very regular.

Apparently there was a prior agreement. When the wooden door creaked, they ducked in sideways.

At this time, there was not a trace of light in the courtyard. When they pushed open the door of the main room in the courtyard in the darkness, a ray of light came out. After they entered the house, they quickly closed it.

After opening the wooden door, the single courtyard that had been illuminated by a ray of light once again fell into darkness.

At this time, there were already more than twenty young people sitting in this room. Some of them were wearing military uniforms and some were wearing civilian clothes. Judging from the military uniforms on their bodies, some of them were officers from the Internal Affairs Corps and some from the Ministry of War.

The staff officers, and even the police, all have one thing in common - youth. The oldest is no more than thirty years old, and the youngest is only ten years old.

At this time, the atmosphere in the office seemed a bit tense. Most of these young people were smoking cigarettes and thinking deeply. One of them, a lieutenant colonel wearing a uniform of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and a military-style bald head, was also thinking with his eyebrows.

.

"In the future, the interests of all citizens and the country will be the first priority in China. The national system is good and citizens are equal under the law. But the current reality is that through hard work, the patriots have indeed established a republic, but

.We can see that a large number of late Qing-style officials who abuse the people are still filling the country. Many officials from top to top have colluded and betrayed the original intention of republic and equality, and these people have taken control of the country's power, even if the prime minister intends to re-elect the country.

, which benefits the people, is also subject to many constraints. If things go on like this, the proletariat, which makes up the majority of the population, will fall into a state of wage slaves or agricultural slaves. This will not only divide society. It may even lead to a new violence in China.

style of revolution…”….

Zhao Lianyou, who was wearing a suit, looked at the people sitting here and said, if there has been any change in him in the past two months, it is probably that he is now more and more inclined to "national transformation". National transformation is made up of

The National Socialist Party proposed a national transformation plan full of nationalism and statism, but that national transformation has never been implemented until now. It was just a long-term goal of the National Socialist Party, or a theory.

“At present, our country’s top priorities are, firstly, to cultivate civil rights internally, and secondly, to fight for family rights externally. Internally, we must improve the poor people’s lives, realize true equality among citizens, and eliminate corrupt officials and evil officials at home. Externally, we must

Adopt tough diplomacy, resolutely defend national rights, and take back national rights..."

While Zhao Lianyou was describing his idea, the lieutenant colonel with the highest rank sitting opposite him was silent. He was just smoking quietly, seemingly thinking.
