Mei Fakui first showed his talents and made contributions to the pole, Ding Tongsheng looked at him differently, and decided to let him serve as the chief of the cottage at the moment, and he had to consult with him when encountering affairs. Some chores such as grain and grass procurement, the purchase of weapons and ammunition, and the handling of disputes were all handled by him, and gradually, he became a red man in Ding Tongsheng's eyes.
When the colorful autumn colors are thick, the cold rain is coming. On this day, the smoke-like drizzle gently flooded the autumn scenery of the mountains outside the Niangniang Temple, and after noon, two uninvited guests wearing cloaks walked on the street and went straight to Li Xiyuan's Chinese medicine shop.
At this moment, no one came to see the doctor, Li Xiyuan sat in front of the medicine shelf and snoozed, an old man and a young two uninvited guests swung to the front of the medicine shelf, and the older man gently shouted: "Is Mr. Li here?" Is Mr. Lee here? ”
Li Xiyuan seemed to hear the call in a dream, and suddenly woke up, he stood up and greeted without looking closely: "Please sit, I will give you the pulse..."
The old man looked around at no one, approached and said softly: "I was sent by Commander Mei Company to pick you up, this has a letter written by Commander Mei Company, you let go of the matter of Captain Mei C A found out, I am afraid it will be bad, now quickly pack up and go with us, otherwise you will not be able to leave." He said and pulled out Mei Fakui's letter from his arms.
Li Xiyuan took a look at the letter, was surprised, did not have time to think more, he casually cleaned up, wrapped the silver and some valuable drugs into a package, and came out of the village before dark...
It turned out that in October 1911, the Xinhai Revolution was successful. On October 22, Qian Ding, Zhang Xiao, and Zhang Yunshan, members of the Shaanxi League, launched an armed uprising, elected Zhang Fengyi, staff officer and commander of the Shaanxi New Army Headquarters, as the commander-in-chief, occupied the Uniform Bureau, seized guns and ammunition, and qing officers scattered and fled for their lives.
Xi'an was restored, and the Qing court was terrified, although Wuchang was noisy, but there was a natural danger barrier between the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, and it did not affect the capital. Xi'an is close at hand, which can be said to be a problem of elbows and armpits, and if it is allowed to develop, the situation is difficult to clean up. To this end, the Qing court sent two large armies from the east and the west to Shaanxi to wipe out these anti-Qing forces in one fell swoop.
The army pressed the border, and the time was not waiting, the Military Government of Qin Longfu Han decided to "attack from the east and defend the west", and Zhang Fengyi appointed Zhang Yunshan as the governor of the terracotta army, leading the army to the west to go up to Changwu and Fengxiang to resist the enemy of the western invasion; at the same time, Zhang Xuan was appointed as the governor of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, and let him lead the eastern expedition. The newly established Qin Longfu Han Army did not have many troops, and after Zhang Xuan took command, he only led the only two standard (regiments) infantry, a team of artillery, and fifty horse teams to rush east.
In the Battle of Tongguan, Zhang Wei had the upper hand slightly, and after Zhao Qianyi's army arrived, he blocked the Qin Longfu Han army back to Huayin with three strokes and two blows. After successive defeats of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, Zhang Xuan's heart became heavy, and he urgently called Xi'an to ask for reinforcements. But the western road is in full swing, and there are no soldiers to send. When Zhang Xiao was worried about the lack of soldiers, he overheard that Henan revolutionaries Liu Chunren, Yang Mianzhai and others had arrived, and he was so excited that he was about to go out to greet him, and he received a report that Ding Tongsheng, the "Hero of the Great Mountain", had led the Green Forest Heroes of Western Henan to join the Eastern Expeditionary Army. He led all the officers and men of the Eastern Expeditionary Army out to greet each other, and when he saw that these green forest heroes were all alive and well, Zhang Xiao excitedly took Ding Tongsheng's hand and said: "All the heroes have been windy and hard all the way, I warmly welcome on behalf of all the soldiers of the Eastern Expeditionary Army!" ”
The next day, the "Great Hero of Zhongzhou" Wang Tianzhong also arrived with a pole, Zhang Xuan readjusted the ranks of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, appointed Wang Tianzhong as the vanguard officer and the first standard commander, Ding Tongsheng, Zhang Zhigong and others as the standard commander (regimental commander), Mei Fakui was recommended by Ding Tong as a company commander, and together with the generals of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, they launched a bloody battle with the Qing army again and again...
After the Eastern Expedition and the founding of the Republic of China, the Shaanxi Army was organized into two divisions and four brigades, the Western Expeditionary Army under Zhang Yunshan was organized into the First Division of the Shaanxi Army, and the Eastern Expeditionary Army under the command of Zhang Wei was organized into the Second Division of the Shaanxi Army. Chen Shufan, Wan Bingnan, and Zhang Baolin were each organized into a brigade, but the Green Forest Armed Forces in Western Henan, which participated in the Eastern Expeditionary Army, became one of the extraordinarily large.
In order to keep this team, Zhang Xuan ran up and down, and finally obtained Yuan Shikai's consent to organize this green forest armed force into the Zhensong Army and marched from Shaanxi to Henan to garrison Henan. However, Zhang Xuan thought a lot about who was the commander of the Zhensong Army, and the most qualified person to hold this position was Wang Tianzhong, the "Great Hero of Zhongzhou", but he was transferred to the capital by Yuan Shikai as the inspector general of the Beijing area and a lieutenant general in the army. Then there was Ding Tongsheng, but he also had to follow Zhang Xiao into Beijing with more important tasks. In this way, Liu Zhenhua, a revolutionary who served as a senator in the army, jumped up and down and moved around, and the post of co-unification fell into his hands.
