Republic of China: I am a great warlord, many children, many blessings

"Surf the gun and don't kill!"

Following the roar of thousands of people, many veterans of Li Liejun's Second Army immediately dropped their guns and lay on the ground with their hands on their heads.

The new recruit who was originally running away, saw this scene and immediately started to learn.

An old soldier saw this and said angrily: "Little black man, you can't learn anything else, but you can learn surrender at once."

“This is fatal.”

After saying that, Xiao Heizi buried his head in the soil, trembling with fear.

Li Liejun and a company of guards fled on horseback, and they thought they had gotten away.

Who knew that thousands of soldiers and horses suddenly appeared in front.

Looking from a distance, Li Liejun gasped.

When did the other party get behind them?

At this moment, Li Liejun realized how big the gap was between him and his opponent.

It's not just the weapons and equipment, but also the quality of individual soldiers. The difference is just the information gap.

Not on the same level at all.

It was said before that Shen Hao’s army was powerful, but Li Liejun didn’t know how powerful it was. It was only at this moment that he realized how powerful the other party was.

Unfortunately, it's all too late.

Li Liejun did not struggle. Knowing he could not escape, he simply chose to surrender.

When Li Zongren saw that the other side only had one company of people, he felt a little disappointed.

But based on the principle of not letting go, they still let the other person be caught.

"Captain, come quickly, it's a big fish, and it's wearing a general's uniform."

Li Zongren, who was originally listless, suddenly brightened up his eyes and ran over hurriedly.

When he saw Li Liejun's uniform and rank, he realized that this was Li Liejun, the commander-in-chief of the Second Route Army, and said in surprise: "Wow, this is a big fish!"

Then he looked down at Li Liejun and asked, "Li Liejun?"

Li Liejun glanced at the other person coldly, seeing that he was just a young man in his early twenties. He snorted coldly and said nothing.

Seeing that Li Liejun didn't say anything, Li Zongren sneered and said, "You don't admit it, right? I'll give you one chance. I'll count to three. If you still don't admit it, I'll shoot everyone else."

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the other people who followed Li Liejun suddenly changed, and they looked at Li Liejun pleadingly.

Looking at Li Liejun who was still unmoved, Li Zongren said: "3"

"2"

Now the others became anxious.

"Commander Li, we have followed you through thick and thin, you can't harm us"

"Yes, Commander Li."

"Sir, he is Li Liejun, the commander-in-chief of the Second Route Army."

Li Liejun (good job) snorted coldly but remained calm.

Li Zongren raised his index finger and said: "1"

The others turned pale instantly and hated Li Liejun in their hearts.

"Li Liejun, you son of a bitch, I am really blind"

"Li Liejun, you must not die well. I will find you in the underworld."

"Li Liejun you deserve to die"

Everyone started cursing at the same time.

Li Zongren laughed and said, "Okay, I'm just kidding. As long as you tell the truth, it's not impossible for you to live."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and their military uniforms on their backs were soaked with cold sweat.

"Sir, please feel free to ask us anything you ask. We will tell you everything we know."

At this moment, they no longer had any good feelings towards Li Liejun.

They were not trained by Li Liejun in the first place, and Li Liejun did not help them when they were in danger, which made them gnashed their teeth in hatred.

So, they answered whatever Li Zongren asked.

Capturing Li Liejun, the commander-in-chief of the Second Army, is a great achievement.

The gunfire lasted for half an hour. Only when Xiao Heizi was tied up with hemp rope did they breathe a sigh of relief.

Luckily, I wasn't shot to death.

497, Crying and Shouting to Join

I am also glad that I survived the battlefield.

Originally, Xiao Heizi thought he would be severely beaten and was mentally prepared.

He just didn't expect that the other party just took his gun and let him stand together with others without beating them up.

An hour later, the battlefield was cleaned up.

More than 6300 Yunnan soldiers died, while less than 20 people on Ding Wei's side died, all of whom were killed by some Yunnan soldiers after cleaning the battlefield.

Ding Wei asked these surrendered soldiers to bury the dead bodies of the Yunnan Army.

They were not left to die in the wilderness.

This move also made many surrendered soldiers dislike Ding Wei and others.

Ding Wei looked at Li Liejun, patted Li Zongren on the shoulder and said: "Okay, you caught a big fish this time, a great achievement"

Li Zongren shook his head and said, "Commander, you really flatter me. I was just lucky enough to find a fish that slipped through the net.

I really didn't put in much effort this time, this battle is all thanks to you."

Ding Wei said: "Don't underestimate yourself. Luck is also a kind of strength. Luck is the most important thing on the battlefield. With luck, bullets will avoid you. This is fate. Don't worry, you will be rewarded."

Li Zongren said excitedly: "Thank you, Commander"

At this moment, he was just a young man in his twenties. Of course, he was very happy to have made a contribution.

The others were envious but said nothing.

After all, they are lucky and there is nothing you can do about it.

Immediately, Ding Wei looked at Li Liejun and couldn't help but said, "To be honest, I don't know where you got the courage to take action against Guangxi?

Is it because of those remnants of the Tongmenghui?"

Li Liejun snorted coldly and said, "There is nothing to say about the winners and losers. You can kill or chop me up as you please."

Ding Wei smiled and said indifferently: "Take him away. As for how to deal with you, let the president decide."

Li Liejun snorted coldly: "You are a bunch of Yuan Shikai's lackeys. You are bound to suffer retribution for helping the tyrant."

Ding Wei said disdainfully: "Retribution? What a joke. The people under our rule have farmland to farm and are not bullied. Isn't that a bad thing?

You plotted to kill your classmate's fiancée in order to steal his wife, and then you took someone else's wife. Have you ever thought about retribution?"

After these words were spoken, Li Liejun's face turned red.

He lowered his head and said nothing.

Stealing his friend's fiancée and offering to kill his friend are shames that he will never be able to erase.

I know I'm in the wrong and there's nothing I can say.

After Li Liejun was taken away, Ding Wei had the surrendered soldiers gathered together and prepared to hold an ideological work meeting.

More than ten thousand people, standing together, formed a black mass.

Ding Wei looked at the crowd and met their gazes. Everyone lowered their heads and dared not look at Ding Wei's eyes.

After looking around, Ding Weicai said seriously: "Although you are prisoners, you can rest assured that our army's policy towards prisoners is still very good.

We don’t kill the descendants of Yan and Huang.”

Hearing this, tens of thousands of people breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good that we don't kill the prisoners.

They all come from poor laborers, and they join the army just to make a living. As for the idea of ​​sacrificing themselves for the country, they don't have that mentality at all.

If you can't even read a single word, how can you understand these profound principles?

Ding Wei then said: "But you should not rely on luck.

Although our policy is not to kill prisoners, anyone who dares to take advantage of the situation and lead a riot will be severely punished and shot directly. Do you understand?"

"Yes, sir"

Everyone hurriedly said;

Ding Wei said again: "I know that most of you come from poor backgrounds and you only want to make a living.

Here, I can tell you that as long as you are not a criminal, murderer or arsonist, we will let you go after investigation and give you travel expenses."

Hearing this, there was a commotion among the prisoners, and everyone looked shocked.

They never expected that after the other party captured them, not only did they not kill them, beat them or scold them, but they even gave them travel expenses. This treatment was too good.

There was a lot of discussion for a while.

Li Zongren shouted: "Silence!"

In an instant, everyone fell silent.

Ding Wei said: "Of course, if any of you provide information that is beneficial to us, you can also make merit and will be rewarded."

At this time, Xiao Heizi, who was standing in the first row, raised his hand weakly, and the people behind him kept pulling his clothes.

"Little Blackie, you are looking for death, let go now"

Xiao Heizi still raised his hands stubbornly.

Ding Wei asked, "What information do you have?"

Xiao Heizi's voice trembled a little as he said, "I...I heard that your army, after winning the battle, will distribute land to the poor people. Is this true?"

Ding Wei said: "This is true, everyone has a share"

Xiao Heizi continued: "Then, will the families of us who surrender also be given land?"

Ding Wei said: "If we find out that you are innocent and not criminals, we will let you go home. When you go home, you will be ordinary people and you will naturally get your share of the land."

Wow!

Many people exclaimed.

Among this group of people, many of them came from families without land and had to join the army because they could not make a living.

They were very excited to find that they could divide the land.

Ding Wei ignored everyone, looked at the time and said again: "Okay, everyone will be registered in a while, and those who report crimes will be rewarded.

At the same time, if you find anyone bullying the surrendered soldiers, you can also report it.

If you report information that is beneficial to us, you will be given priority in our army."

After saying that, Ding Wei asked people to start registering these soldiers.

Ding Wei also reported the battle situation here to Shen Hao, and at the same time sent a company to escort Li Liejun back to Guangdong.

After learning about the situation, Shen Hao asked Ding Wei to take full responsibility.

After a day of rest, Ding Wei sent a regiment to guard the surrendered troops, while the others continued to approach Kunming.

He wanted to take over Yunnan in one fell swoop while Tang Jirao had no reaction.

When it was time to eat, the captives were shocked to find that they were eating the same food as each other.

Moreover, as prisoners, they had to eat rice and flour, which shocked everyone.

In the morning, there is one dish and one soup, and in the afternoon, there are two dishes and one soup, and there is a little meat almost every day.

Even some prisoners who did not have any shoes written down were not given a pair of cloth shoes.
