Chapter 21 Section IX

This is a bad year.When Ma Zhongying was on the verge of desperation, Sheng Shicai was also facing desperation in Dihua City. Sheng Shicai became famous in Dihua City, and the cadets of the military academy were proud to know the instructor Sheng.The provincial government held a joint meeting, and people waited eagerly, hoping that Sheng Shicai would take up the position of division commander and stand alone. However, the provincial chairman Jin Shuren announced that Sheng Shicai was able to manage the army well, and was promoted to the military and administrative office.People saw Instructor Sheng galloping towards the suburbs with his whip whipped. It was really a good horse, black and shiny.The Kazakh shepherds in the suburbs said: "The black horse, the black horse, the black horse is looking for a rider." The shepherds found a rider on the horse.

The rider and the black horse left the grassland and galloped across the Gobi. The red stones on the Gobi were like hollow drums made of swollen cowhide. There was a sound from all over the world, and the big drum made a low, gloomy sound, like the roar of wild animals. and rough and piercing thunder.Later, the black horse galloped into the sandy land, its hooves cracked the ground, and a storm-like cloud of dust rose up on the deep sandy beach. Many times the rider reined in the reins, and the horse's hooves flew into the air, and the whole horse stood upright on the wasteland, neighing like a to devour the fat sun.As soon as the reins were released, the black horse jumped out and onto the demon mountain.Sheng Shicai looked down at the whole city of Dihua from the top of the mountain, and black mist spewed out from the valley.

Sheng Shicai is the eldest son. His father is old, so he takes his eldest brother as his father. He brought his parents, four younger brothers, one younger sister, and his father-in-law's family to Xinjiang. It seems that he is going to take root in the frontier.His military rank is still a colonel, and he serves as a colonel councilor in the provincial government and works part-time in the military academy. Two salaries can support the couple, but it is very difficult to maintain such a large share of the old and the young.It's not like Japan here. In Japan, Qiu Yufang can go out to find work, but Chinese officials' wives can't go out to earn money.Life is hard.

His colleagues reminded him to go up and walk around, let him be the county magistrate, and he will have everything.The former governor of Xinjiang, Yang Zengxin, often advised his subordinates to be conscientious and not to be too greedy. Yang Zengxin's mantra was: there are no good people in Yangguan in the west, and all those who come are corrupt officials who made foreign money.Yang Zengxin tried his best to minimize the greed of his subordinates.You can't keep everyone from being corrupt, this is called the law of limited corruption.What a wise old man, he forced Xiao Yaonan to kill him.

Chairman Jin Shuren came to the stage, very straightforward.Chairman Jin is from Hezhou, Gansu, and Hezhou is at war. Ma Zhongying hit Feng Yuxiang with a pole, and the beating was so dark that the refugees from Hezhou went to Xinjiang to seek refuge with Chairman Jin.Chairman Jin loves his hometown, and loves fellow villagers even more. He scolded Feng Yuxiang for bullying us Hezhou people.Chairman Jin is obliged and responsible to solve the problems of the township party, and try his best to meet the various requirements of the township party, from food and clothing to career arrangements, to the position of various key departments.Chairman Jin couldn't manage it anymore, so he asked his brother to take care of it. The second son of Jin only had one criterion for mastering the Yamen, whether he could speak Hezhou dialect or not. long.There is a saying in the society that "speaking Hezhou dialect can carry a box and a gun".

Chairman Kim's official position is very easy to do, and it is easy to do it so that people don't serve as an official, as if you are not a human being, unless you are a horse. Colleagues were very rude when they put the words on Sheng Shicai’s face. Sheng Shicai sneered in his heart, “My lifelong ambition is to eradicate warlords, eradicate corrupt officials and relieve the people. The future government of Xinjiang will be a clean and efficient government.” Sheng Shicai believed that he could create a bright world.He couldn't help his blood boiling, everyone didn't know what happened to Mr. Sheng, he rushed out of the office with a thick neck and red face.

"I must have eaten mutton and watermelon, my stomach was bloated, and I ran to the latrine, and the latrine suffered together." It was only when Sheng Shi ran to the street that he calmed down. His self-control is very good, and no matter how hot his head is, he can suppress it.He also felt that he couldn't do it, that he couldn't do it impulsively.He walked very slowly, he was completely relaxed.He saw Jin Lao Er and Jin Lao Si galloping down the street on a big horse. The peddlers ran away in fright, and he dodged too. He was completely calm. When he got home, he couldn't bear it anymore. The fourth brother, fifth brother, and younger sister just came back from school, quietly doing their homework.The younger brothers and sisters are very obedient, and they are all top students in the school.But he still yelled at his brothers: "Listen, you guys, if any of you look like the brothers of the Jin family in the future, I will definitely kill you."

"What's wrong with you again?" Qiu Yufang pulled her husband into the house, "You frightened them, your face is crooked, you want to eat people." "I want to kill people, I must kill many, many people, kill all those bastards, Yufang, remember, I will become the provincial chairman in the future, you remind me, Sheng Shicai, you are not a doggy chairman, you are Scavenger, your mission is to clean up this filthy world, you spit on my face, just like King Goujian of Yue." "You don't have to be angry with your brothers." "Chairman Kim will be destroyed in the hands of his brothers."

After Sheng Shicai took charge of Xinjiang, he really killed the fourth brother, not because the fourth brother was corrupt and depraved, but because the fourth brother was too revolutionary, which none of them thought of at the beginning. Sheng Shicai's prestige in the army surpassed Jin Shuren, the provincial chairman, and even the border guards in Altay, Tacheng, Yili were talking about Sheng Shicai. The senior generals of the army came to Dihua to meet Jin Shuren one after another. Everyone agreed that if Sheng was not eliminated, it would be difficult for them to control their subordinates.Sheng Shicai was recruited by Lu Xiaozu. Jin Shuren asked Lu Xiaozu's opinion. Lu Xiaozu said: "We recruited people at the beginning because we valued their talents. The cadets of the military academy worshiped him, which shows that he is well trained and has a set of skills."

The commanders said: "The lower-level officers only know that there is Sheng Shicai, but they don't know that there is a senior officer. What do you want us to do?" Jin Shuren said: "It would be a joke to drive someone away. At the beginning, I just wanted him to move the troops and look good." The commanders said: "Chiang Kai-shek dare not use him, which shows how dangerous he is." Lu Xiaozu said: "Chiang Kai-shek didn't kill him either." Jin Shuren said: "We didn't give him much power, isn't he just an instructor of the military academy? The military and political affairs council is also an empty frame. Hey, why don't you use your brains? If someone surpasses you, you will know how to quarrel with me." , you people are really useless."

Everyone patted their heads, there was a big guy on their shoulders, everyone went back to use their brains. Lu Xiaozu was very embarrassed. After returning home, he called Sheng Shicai. Sheng Shicai came in a hurry. Lu Xiaozu reminded him to pay attention to safety. That night, Sheng Shicai's bedroom was attacked by gunmen, and the bed board was smashed into pieces by a portable machine gun. Sheng Shicai survived by lying under the desk. In the evening, when Sheng Shicai rode his horse for a walk in the countryside, Sha Zao shot an arrow from the inside, which pierced the horse's hindquarters, causing the horse to jolt.The onlookers screamed. In this case, the rider would be thrown to the ground and trampled into mud by the horse's hooves.The rider on the horse's back tightened the reins, and the horse's hooves flew into the air. The rider took out a short knife from his boots, and cut through the back of the horse's neck.After the rider got off the horse, the corpse of the horse remained motionless. The rider turned to the front and stabbed the horse in the chest again, cutting open the thick chest wall. The horse's heart hardened and turned into a stone in the cold wind.The horse corpse fell down with a bang, and the dust rose high until it disappeared into the depths of the sky.The archer in the jujube bush stood up and walked up to Sheng Shicai. The archer threw away the bow and arrow and drew his sword in his hand, "If I lose, kill me like that horse." Sheng Shicai used Japanese sword techniques , the shooter's knife was knocked down to the ground, Sheng Shicai put away the knife, and used judo to put his opponent on the ground. After almost an hour, the opponent's whole body trembled and his face turned pale. The onlookers said: "This is a cat chasing a mouse. Eat it later." It was the twelfth lunar month, and the shooter's blood had all withdrawn to his heart. Sheng Shicai tied him to a poplar tree. Sheng Shicai said: "The horse is the soul of a soldier. Unfortunately, I can't kill you with the way of killing a horse. You Not fit to be with horses." Sheng Shicai killed him with the method of killing a living person with a Kanto beard.Sheng Shicai took off his clothes, brushed his chest with snow, stuffed the knife in after it was wet, slapped his palm on the back of his heart, his heart beat out, Sheng Shicai swallowed the snow heartily, and the beard on his lips was knotted. A layer of icicles, totally a real red beard. Everyone in Dihua City saw that scene.No more killers show up, they dare not take the job. The commanders who planned the murder gathered at Jin Shuren's house again, and Jin Shuren said, "What's the matter with the army?" The commanders all said in unison, "The young faction is about to blow Sheng Shicai into Napoleon." Jin Shuren said: "Now it's hard to find him a crime. In this way, people will suspect that we are the masterminds of the murder." The commanders were at a loss. Jin Shuren said: "At this time, any unexpected event can make Sheng Shicai perfect. Just think about it, will there be troubles in Xinjiang recently?" Everyone first looked for loopholes in the government's laws and regulations, all of which are impeccable, and all the provisions can prove that Chairman Kim is extremely wise. Everyone had a quiet night. The next day, an urgent telegram came from Eastern Xinjiang, and the Uyghurs in Hami rebelled against reforming the land and returning it to the people.The provincial government is in chaos, and only a few officials know that this is the chance for Sheng Shicai to show his talents. Jin Shuren and the commanders decided to send heavy troops to attack.Zhu Ruichi's division commander, Xiong Fayou's division commander, Du Guozhi's brigade commander, led more than 10,000 provincial troops to Hami. The rioting peasants were defeated and the provincial army won a complete victory.Jin Shuren and his subordinates were overjoyed that the eastern border campaign won without the use of cadets. Sheng Shi was a false alarm.Dihua City was celebrating the victory of the Eastern Xinjiang Campaign. Chairman Jin presented prizes to the soldiers. Sheng Shi was desperate to the extreme. The provincial victory was very short-lived.The remnants of the rebel army who fled into the mountains grew stronger again under the leadership of Heganiyazi Aji.At this time, Tiger King Rao Lebosi, the general manager of Hami Palace, also revolted with some palace guards. The entire eastern border fell into chaos.The troops sent by Dihua were defeated and returned.Yili's cavalry went up and was defeated. Dihua City has no soldiers to send, only a few hundred cadets from the military academy can use it.The entire division and brigade of old-fashioned troops couldn't stand it. The generals wanted to see Sheng Shicai's jokes. Hundreds of student soldiers took the blame. Let this lonely foreign student experience war.It is said that Sheng Shicai has never led a soldier yet. Along with the cadets, there was also a regiment of policemen who went to the front. Sheng Shicai was appointed as the chief of staff of the East Route Army, and Lu Xiaozu was the commander-in-chief. Sheng Shicai was introduced by Lu Xiaozu, and they were good partners.Qiu Yufang said bitterly: "Jin Shuren is really not a joke. You have not been given power at this time. The chief of staff is still an aide. Isn't it a bully to be a staff for a lifetime? No, I don't care about Malaba's chief of staff. " Sheng Shicai didn't listen to his wife this time. "Napoleon left a large army in Egypt for political power, and fled back to Paris alone. Why? Because he has made military exploits, Paris needs a strong man. Dihua also needs a strong man, who needs military exploits and victories to calm people's hearts." Sheng Shicai took down the Dongyang sword from the wall, and the horse neighed outside, he jumped on the horse and swung his hooves away.Qiu Yufang's face was pale, so pale!She did not find out until much later that her husband had gone off to war.Isn't it just for this day after so many years of training?What kind of day is this? The war horse took her husband away from her, and her heart tightened more and more. The old man, the whole family is supported by her. The battle was fought at the foot of the mountain.Sheng Shicai put the military cadets on the front line, and the regiment of policemen was placed in the rear under the command of the commander-in-chief Lu Xiaozu. If they were defeated, none of the cadets could escape, and Lu Xiaozu could retreat calmly. Sheng Shicai took the lead in the charge. He quickly left the troops behind and charged forward alone.The oncoming tower-like strong man and his mount were cut in half by the Toyo sword. Half of the horse fell to the ground with its hooves still standing, and the rider's head rolled on the ground.Sheng Shicai chopped down eight strong men in one go, and no one dared to come up to fight with knives again.The other party started to shoot, and they became timid.Bullets pierced through his clothes, stray bullets scraped through his hair, and blood flowed from his temples, dazzling as if wearing a mask. "Blood, blood." The enemy yelled, Sheng Shicai rushed forward, calmly, the Japanese knife in his hand was as easy to use as a whip, making crackling, cracking, crackling sounds, the sound of the blade on the muscles and bones is different of.The knife edge walked close to the bone, and the person who was hit by the knife was extremely surprised. His mouth and eyes were either wide open or closed tightly. The cold and fast blade screamed like a bird.He had already forgotten the bastard box on his waist.Later, he grabbed a rifle from the guard, and the enemy had already collapsed and fled. The cadets were able to kill and shouted.The group of policemen who had been watching from the hill behind finally aroused their dormant male power and rushed forward to fight. And Ganiyazi and Tiger King Rao Lebos all collapsed, collapsed in a mess. Sheng Shicai half-kneeled on the mound, and the guards pressed the bullets for him. The two rifles fired alternately, and the bullets did not miss. Sheng Shicai put away his gun, green smoke was coming out of the muzzle, and there was a choking sulfur smell. He was very excited when he smelled the gunpowder smoke. Lu Xiaozu came over and laughed loudly, "Good fight, good fight, Lao Sheng, you can let go of the command." That group of policemen was handed over to Sheng Shicai. A few more battles were fought, and all the rioting peasants were driven into the mountains.The officers and soldiers captured a lot, and the soldiers found gold in the intestines of the sheep. Sheng Shicai distributed it to everyone on the spot, and rewarded them for their merits.He took nothing himself.When they returned, a group of people plus military students had become a powerful force.The people of Dihua reveled in the great victory in Eastern Xinjiang, and Sheng Shicai looked indifferent. These people can cheer you and knock you down.He tightened the rein of the horse and followed behind Lu Xiaozu.Lu Xiaozu did not hand over military power, and this powerful army was his backing.
