s: Submit a 5,000-word chapter In the mountains northwest of Xingshan, the anti-bandit troops of the Hubei New Army are marching towards "Platform Mountain", the lair of bandits.
Looking at this winding road in the mountains, Zhang Jingliang, the president of the 29th CPC Central Committee, couldn't hide his surprise.
He couldn't help but ask: "This road was really built by bandits and only took 3 people."
"Many months."
No wonder he was surprised, because the quality and length of this road exceeded his imagination.
This road is a two-lane stone cement road.
The roadbed is made of stones, sand, and gravel.
The road surface is stone slabs.
The gaps are filled with concrete.
Drainage ditches are also built on both sides.
It is very regular and does not look like a mountain road at all.
Even the roads in Wuchang City are not necessarily better than this.
But this road stretches from the city gate to the mountains in the suburbs, passing through more than a dozen villages, covering a distance of at least 30 kilometers.
The stones used for road construction are all locally sourced, which is good for mountainous areas.
The mountains are full of stones, which is not surprising, but cement is very rare.
Although this kind of stone-based road uses not much cement, the amount is by no means small after dozens of kilometers.
And there are several such roads, all starting from the gate of the county town and leading to various directions.
One of them leads to the Xiangxi River Pier outside the county town.
Along the way, he also passed several bridges.
Like the roads, these bridges were also made of stone and concrete, and the construction level was quite high.
Zhang Jingliang is a graduate of the Japanese Military Academy, and he can be regarded as a person who has seen the world.
But seeing roads and bridges of this quality in the mountains still surprised him.
Is this Kyodo Society really a "bandit"?
There was a middle-aged man wearing lake silk clothes who was sweating profusely following him.
Seeing him ask a question, he quickly stepped forward and answered: "Master Biaotong, this road was indeed built by bandits.
They arrived here not long ago. , so they brought tens of thousands of local elites to build roads, squandering countless people’s money and money,” he said, showing a look of bitterness and hatred.
Of course he would not say that his family accounted for a large part of the "people's wealth and people's anointing".
This flattering guy is called Wen Yindi, the fifth master of the Wen family of the local gentry.
The Wen family is the largest local tycoon.
Because they have done too many things that hurt their moral integrity, their family was put on trial after the Kyodo Society came.
There are more than 200 people in the whole family.
After being rectified, there were more than 60 people hanging on tree branches to show the public.
Unfortunately, there were no street lights at this time.
More than 70 people were sentenced to prison terms ranging from years to work mining and building roads.
The rest were also dispersed to various labor camps for forced labor reform.
Anyway, everyone in the family, except Wen Yindi, went in.
If this Wen Yindi hadn't happened to be on business in another county, he would have been hung on a tree branch for display just like his father and brothers.
As Wen Yindi spoke, he burst into tears: "Master Biaotong, you have to make the decision for the whole family.
Our Wen family has always been a heirloom of poetry and calligraphy.
We have been a scholarly family for 200 years, but those bandits trampled on the gentlemen.
Arrested my entire family , The killing was like a river of blood.
My father was a magistrate and became an official.
During his tenure as an official, he was honest and devoted to the public.
He was known as a good man in the countryside.
He was over seventy years old this year, and the bandits did not let him go.

The faces of the mud-legged people will be cut off with a knife.”
Zhang Jingliang glanced at him contemptuously and said nothing.
He also knew the local Wen family.
Contrary to what Wen Yindi said, the family members could be said to do all kinds of evil.
There were countless incidents of bullying men and dominating women in the fish and meat village.
They were typical local tyrants and evil gentry.
The Wen family is a local tyrant, occupying nearly one-third of the cultivated land in Xingshan County, monopolizing various profitable industries, opening casinos, brothels, and opium dens, and has close ties with local bandits.
If this family is considered innocent, even a fool would not believe it.
As for the "Wen Dashanren" who was executed in public, he was even less good.
When he was the prefect, he was known for his corruption, and he would scrape the land three feet high.
He also had a perverted hobby of playing with little girls, and he tortured countless little girls to death over the years.
This perverted hobby only gets worse with age.
Over the years, several little girls have disappeared every year in Xingshan County and nearby areas.
Even if not all of them are related to this old thief, at least most of them can't escape.
It's enough to shoot this guy dozens of times.
Although Zhang Jingliang was loyal to the Qing court, he had no sympathy for the family.
"Our Qing Dynasty has fallen to this point because there are too many scumbags."
This is Zhang Biaotong's idea.
In the original time and space where Mr.
Wen lived, during a period of time in the early 21st century, some scum and gauze in the legal profession, in order to satisfy their own cheap sense of moral superiority or for the limelight, completely ignored the most basic ethics and justice, and formulated a Some mind-numbing laws specifically designed to protect the "human rights" of criminals.
If that "Mr.
Wen" were to be interrogated by those bad guys, they would definitely say: "Mr.
Wen is over seventy years old, so he is exempted from punishment" and so on, and then brag about "human rights" and "humanitarian care" ", "love" and so on.
Wen Desi was the most averse to this kind of thing, and "severe punishments" was the legal thought he most admired.
The laws enacted by the Kyodo Society under his command would definitely not have such stupid laws.
As for protecting the human rights of criminals, go away and kill them when they need to be killed, and imprison them when they need to.
If the human rights of criminals are protected, what should we do about the human rights of the victims?
Not to mention that "Wen Dashan" was only seventy years old.
Even if he was three hundred years old, he would still be killed here in Kyodo Society.
There were also juvenile delinquents.
The dandy and evil young man in this family still killed a lot of people.
What "future" The second-hand legal view that “adult crimes are exempt from punishment” does not work for Mr.
Wen.
Here in Kyodo Society, the age of full legal responsibility is 12 years old.
Any criminal over this age is considered an adult and can be killed if necessary.
"Because the consequences of the same criminal act will not be reduced because the criminal is a minor or an elderly person, the penalty cannot be reduced either."
Only the results are considered regardless of the person.
This is Wen Desi's legal thought, and this is the real truth.
"Everyone is equal before the law" Of course Zhang Baotong did not know Wen Desi's thoughts, nor did he care about the legal construction of the Kyodo Society.
His task was to be the vanguard of this bandit suppression operation.
His only thought now was to get to the bandit's lair as early as possible and block them inside.
However, the performance of his men along the way gave him a headache.
Because most of the middle and lower-level officers and soldiers in the 29 bids were bannermen.
These banner men didn't pay much attention to his little standard.
What he, the standard commander, said was not as effective as the bannermen and team officers under his command.

The Qing court has always distrusted the Han people, but the bannermen were basically useless people who could not hold up the wall, so they had to use Han people.
The same was true when training the new army.
They were also worried about the new army being composed entirely of Han people, so they found a group of bannermen to stuff themselves into the new army, such as the first town in Beiyang and the 29th standard in Hubei.
These bannermen The army was the backbone of the Qing government's control of the new army.
The Qing court's ideas were rich, but the reality was very bare bones.
At this time, the banner men had long been turned into pigs by hard-core crops.
They were asked to do things such as walking the dog, playing with birds, talking about cross talk, etc.
But as for fighting, they could only do it.
The same goes for 29 Biao.
When they are walking the dog, playing with birds and talking about mountains, they are all awesome, but when they really want to go to war, they all become idiots.
The bannermen agreed to be the vanguard this time because they felt that this bandit suppression was a great opportunity to earn military merit.
The Qing government always rewarded the bannermen for military merit, and the vanguard's contribution was the greatest.
Therefore, everyone was extremely enthusiastic and unanimously asked to be a pioneer.
King Xie Tong couldn't shirk his victory, so he had to hold his nose and arrange for them to be the vanguard.
These uncles and soldiers have not stopped all the way here.
They are either stealing or not paying for things.
As for taking sheep or pigs behind their backs, beating and scolding the common people, they have done countless things, causing complaints from the people on the road.
Zhang Jingliang, for the sake of the new army, Reputation, having to wipe their butts every day is really annoying.
But there was nothing he could do.
He couldn't even use these uncle soldiers to control Zhang Biao, let alone a standard leader.
Zhang Biaotong had completely given up hope on the combat effectiveness of these uncle soldiers, so he would be thankful if they didn't hold back.
"Fortunately, what we have to deal with this time is just a group of bandits," he could only console himself.
"I don't know what these bandits are thinking about repairing the road.
Isn't this convenient for our cannons?
I was worried at first that the road here is too bad and the cannons can't keep up."
Zhang Baotong couldn't understand this behavior at all.
He felt These bandits are probably out of their minds.
They actually spent so much effort to build the road so well.
Could it be that they really think of themselves as government officials?
Even I, the Qing Dynasty, didn't put much thought into this kind of mountain road.
At this time, he noticed that there were many road signs erected on both sides of the road.
This section was particularly dense, with one almost every twenty or thirty meters.
This kind of sign is one meter long, half a meter wide, about ten centimeters thick, and slightly curved.
It is arranged at an angle of 60 degrees to the road surface and is about one meter and a half higher than the road surface.
The signs all read "Platform Mountain Base, xx meters ahead", "Xingshan County, xx meters ahead" and other words.
"These bandits are so arrogant, are they afraid that others won't know their lair?"
Zhang Biaotong was shocked.
He never dreamed that there would be such "tyrannical, cool and powerful" bandits in the world, and they were also tall.
The above uses the very fashionable unit of "meter".
"Lord Biaotong, the bandits are so arrogant.
They set up private courts to incite unruly people and falsely accuse the gentry."
Wen Yindi cried again as he spoke.
In fact, he was far less sad than he looked.
On the contrary, he was a little happy.
He is the fifth eldest child in the family.

If there were no bandits, although the Wen family has a huge property, it has little to do with him.
At most, it will only get a little bit of leftovers.
But it's different now.
His father, uncle, and brothers have all been hanged by the Kyodo Society.
He is the only heir of this generation, and the entire Wen family belongs to him.
Of course, this can only be obtained after the bandits are eliminated, so he is so active in leading the way.
What they didn't notice was that before they entered Xingshan County, they were spotted by the revolutionary army's scouts.
Their march was all under the surveillance of the revolutionary army.
On the hillside about five hundred meters away from them, there was an observation post of the Revolutionary Army.
The six soldiers were all wearing jungle camouflage, with camouflage ointment on their hands and faces that repels mosquitoes and insects, and camouflage nets.
Once they lay down in the grass, they would not be recognized as individuals from more than 20 meters away. .
The ground of the observation post was sprinkled with snake and insect repellent.
Even though they were in the jungle, the scouts were not affected at all.
"This is the New Army of the Qing Dynasty.
It doesn't look very good at all."
The squad leader looked at the column of the New Army below with his binoculars.
While looking at it, he vomited: "Oh, this whole sign is actually made in Hanyang, Yishui.
They don’t even have a machine gun, I think they are worse than bandits.”
Another soldier also chimed in and complained: "That's right, there are no helmets, no mortars, only officers have pistols, and there are not even grenades.
It's too bad.
It's too bad.
He also said that our revolutionary army is bandits, bah, after all Who is like a bandit?”
After he finished speaking, he looked at himself and his comrades who were armed to the teeth, and couldn't help but reveal a proud smile. 1906 "Cobra" light machine gun.
Each person also has a "Continental Pistol" inserted into his waist, which is a Browning 1903 pistol.
There are also 4 wooden handle grenades hanging behind the buttocks, and there is a multi-purpose pistol on the left and right leggings. saber and a bayonet.
These firearms are all products of the American Zentraedi Consortium.
They are now products of the "Cobra Weapons Company" under the consortium.
Cobra Weapons Company, established in September last year, purchased patent licenses for related weapons from Browning, Springfield and other weapons companies. and production license, we made a series of improvements according to our own plan.
Springfield K1 is an improved version of Springfield.
The caliber is modified to 7, the 5-round magazine is replaced with a 10-round magazine, and the human-machine function is improved.
The bullet is an original creation of the "Cobra Arms Company".
It was specially developed to adapt to the use of Orientals.
Of course, it refers to a lot of bullet information from "later generations", especially the several 7-type bullets developed after World War II.
Compared with the current mainstream bullets of several calibers, the recoil of this bullet is greatly reduced, but the performance is not reduced at all, or even better.
The "Cobra" light machine gun is also original.
It is an improved version of the Bren light machine gun 30 years later.
It has reduced weight, optimized the design, and modified the original caliber so that it uses the same 7x49 bullet as the Springfield K1 rifle.
The total weight of this light machine gun is 8.5 kilograms.
The ammunition supply method is a 30-round magazine or a 100-round belt.
Its performance is completely superior to the current Madsen light machine gun.
For Wen Desi, the design is no problem at all.
If it were not for the limitations of technical craftsmanship, how could he value Bren, at least it would be 249.
Hand grenades, sabers and other gadgets are produced in the base area.
The prototype of the hand grenade is the "later" Chinese Type 67.
It is said that hundreds of millions of this model were produced, and half of them were not used after more than half a century.

I really kneel down, but the missile body has been modified.
Using prefabricated fragment layers, the weight is also reduced by 100 grams.
The saber prototype is also a domestic product, the famous Huya D80.
Of course, the current materials and processes are limited, and the performance is definitely not as good as the original version of "later generations", but it is also top-notch in this era.
Not to mention other equipment such as helmets and military uniforms, as this soldier said, compared to these revolutionary soldiers who are armed to the teeth, the Hubei New Army looks more like bandits.
The soldiers' vomiting continued.
"The march is a mess, like chasing ducks.
We might as well train new recruits for a month.
Is this really the regular army of the Qing Dynasty?"
"While marching in a hostile area, no scouts were sent out in front, and there were no security teams around.
They were all crowded on the road.
Do they want to be targets?
Huh, we completely overestimated them.
There is no need to hide 500 meters away. .
Let alone 500 meters, they can’t find us even at 100 meters.”
"In my opinion, the leaders think too highly of them.
This kind of scumbag army can be dealt with by just dispatching our 2 regiments.
Why do we need three regiments and one battalion?"
Another soldier said sarcastically: "Haha, I heard that the new armies from all over the Qing Dynasty held a joint exercise in Zhangde last year.
The Beiyang New Army was judged to have won with courage, while the Wuhan New Army was rated as the winner.
They are rated as being more knowledgeable than others, so it is understandable that they are not good at fighting."
"Hahahaha, if they are better with knowledge, why would they use a gun?
Just use a pen."
"Tch, if they are really good at knowledge, why should they be soldiers instead of becoming scholars, or study abroad to go to university?"
"As long as our revolutionary army does not fight and has cultural classes every day, even in terms of knowledge, they are not necessarily better than us."
Those who can serve as scouts are elite veterans, and naturally they know what they are good at.
Because of the strange performance of the new army, they couldn't help but complain.
This is because the psychological gap is too big.
Originally, they all thought that even if the New Army was not as good as themselves, at least it would not be too far behind them.
How could they know that they are not as famous as they were when they met, but they turned out to be such a bunch of losers.
If Zhang Biaotong knew the revolutionary army's evaluation, he would definitely scream injustice.
Damn it, the 29th standard are all banner men.
What can I do?
These bastards cannot represent the level of our new army at all.
As for equipment, we can’t blame the Hubei New Army.
Mortars, light machine guns, and grenades are all new gadgets.
Not to mention the Qing Dynasty, even the European and American powers don’t have much equipment.
As for the heavy machine gun, it was mainly because the bosses thought it was a waste of bullets and deliberately ignored it.
At present, among the New Army, only Beiyang is equipped with some Maxims.
The Hubei New Army does have some old-fashioned Gatlings, but they were not brought over this time.
As for the new armies in other regions, we have to wait a few years.
In fact, strictly speaking, the equipment of the New Army is really not the best in the country, at least in terms of light weapons.
While they were still using Mannrich and Hanyang models, the Guangdong business group was already using Enfield and 1898 models.
From 1905 to 1906, more than 200 Madsen machine guns were sold in China.
However, the new and old armies were not equipped with them.

Wherever these guns went, they naturally flowed into the hands of business groups and other non-governmental organizations, as well as "dynamic social organizations
