Chapter 651 Directly under the Guard Battalion
According to historical records, three years later, the Hubei New Army Wuchang Shouyi, this unruly guy was the main organizer of the Shouyi, and later became the chief of staff of the Wuchang Revolutionary Army.
Of course, Gu Zhunian would know these things. Chen Tianhua had never seen his name before. Yingying Chuochuo felt that the name was a bit strange and seemed familiar, but he was not a historian after all, nor was he very knowledgeable about the specific precise positioning.
grasp.
Zhang Tingfu, four years younger than Sun Wu, has only turned twenty-five this year. He is a scholar from Wuchang Fucheng. He comes from a wealthy bureaucratic family. His family is rich and powerful. His father is now the Right Chief Envoy of Hubei Province. He is from the second rank of the imperial court.
Mingguan is equivalent to the deputy governor in later generations.
He joined the army at the age of seventeen and was recommended to Baoding Armed Forces Academy a year later. Three years ago, he graduated at the age of 22 and returned to the Hubei Army, where he became a team officer and is now a guard battalion leader. He was promoted quickly.
The two of them are in different classes and grew up in different environments. Privately, they are neither older nor younger, and one looks down upon the other.
Zhang Tingfu believed that he came from a noble family and was more literate than Sun Wu. He also graduated from a famous military academy in China and grew up in Wuchang City since he was a child. He had a sense of superiority.
As for Sun Wu, he just looked down on Zhang Tingfu's "embroidered pillow".
Damn it, you haven't been trained in blood and fire on the battlefield, just talking about it, it's useless!
Therefore, the two of them often look for opportunities to compete.
Of course, this is all on the premise that it does not affect the execution of military orders.
A few days ago, Sun Wu suddenly accepted an order from General Li Yuanhong, asking him to lead Zhang Tingfu's guard battalion to perform a secret mission.
They both came happily.
This is a rare opportunity to make military achievements. If there is no special relationship, how would they get their turn?
Not to mention Sun Wu, even Zhang Tingfu was convinced by the command of the town commander, General Li Yuanhong.
However, Zhang Tingfu was still very grateful to Sun Wu this time. This was obviously Mr. Li's special care, and he was somewhat blessed.
Because the guard camp mainly guarded the town and controlled the security of the government offices and official residences, they were not responsible for the arrests and fights, and the perpetrators were not involved. It was difficult to carry out large-scale arrests, encirclement and suppression of enemy agents and rebellions in Wuchang City.
And how much power does this guard's tickling job contain?
But this time it was a serious military operation, and everything was in accordance with war requirements.
This is equivalent to going to the battlefield.
Going to the battlefield means that you will have military success in your pocket, so why not do it.
But Sun Wu and Zhang Tingfu never expected that Mr. Li would ask them to take orders from Chen Tianhua, who came from Zhejiang Province.
A well-known red-top businessman in the world. It is said that he likes to lead his army to suppress bandits everywhere and has great military exploits. However, the Hubei army and the Zhejiang army are separated by one layer after all. As the saying goes, whoever eats his food will work for the other.
Why should the directly-affiliated security battalion listen to the command of this red-topped businessman from another province?!
Not convinced!
Any ordinary sergeant picked out from the guard camp would have a prominent background, either from a noble family or backed by a powerful family.
All of them are the proud sons of Hubei Province, and their guard camps are well-equipped, well-served, and enjoy special privileges.
Sun Wu, Zhang Tingfu and more than 500 people were on standby in this large courtyard for nearly ten days. They were in confinement all day long. Nothing happened, but they were strictly prohibited from going out.
It's so boring.
Ten days have passed, but there is not even a chance to achieve military merit, and the military medal is even more out of reach.
Everyone was thinking, looking at this situation, if he is imprisoned for a few more days, this matter will go away. It is really unlucky, and others thought he had picked up a good job.
When they got up today, Sun Wu and Zhang Tingfu didn't want to train early, so they actually played this trick of betting on winning or losing.
This is the most common form of arm wrestling in the military, with a colorful head.
However, Zhang Tingfu has never been Sun Wu's opponent and has never won once. But even though he knew he was not his opponent, he was just unconvinced and always wanted to win a round.
Looking at the tall and strong Sun Wu in front of him, Zhang Tingfu was angry and felt very strange.
How did such a tall and strong man like him become a scout in the army in the first place?
If such a stupid guy with no cleverness becomes a scout and goes to the battlefield, he will easily expose his target. Often he will not only lose his life, but will also bring harm to his colleagues and comrades-in-arms.
Moreover, this guy's strength is amazing.
According to Zhang Tingfu, it would be a waste for such a man not to become the main gunner of the Navy.
The main gunners and even the gunners of naval ships are the pride of the military and are well-known and popular. They are well paid and can easily be promoted to captains.
Of course, Zhang Tingfu didn't know something. This Sun Wu liked to ride his horse and whip his whip, and didn't like to float on the sea.
Speaking of Sun Wu and Zhang Tingfu, from the moment they opened their eyes to now, they have competed nine times in arm wrestling, and Zhang Tingfu has not won even once.
Starting from the tenth time, Zhang Tingfu was full of energy and determined to win.
His face and eyes were all red, and the veins on his head and face were as big as earthworms.
But it was a pity that he only persisted for a while.
After his wrist was pressed down on the table, he jumped up angrily, very annoyed, but frustrated:
"No more arm-wrestling, I can't beat you! You shouldn't have served as a scout for the Self-Strengthening Army in the first place. You should have gone to the ship to wrestle with the sailors and lift cannonballs with the heavy gunners."
"If you can't afford to lose, don't play with me!" Sun Wu snorted coldly.
He did not raise his head to glance at Zhang Tingfu, who was jumping up. He just put the ten pieces of silver on the table into his pocket.
Zhang Tingfu's family was rich and he was a corrupt official. If he didn't lose some money every day, he would feel itchy and uncomfortable.
Sun Wu was happy to earn some extra money from him. Anyway, this kid always looked like he was not convinced by anyone.
I'm willing to admit defeat, hehe!
Sun Wu waited until the ten pieces of silver and foreign currency were settled in his pocket, then turned around and glanced at the angry face, grinning evilly.
He was also very surprised how such a irritable guy could attend the Baoding Military Academy, where he would not be beaten to death by the instructors, but would have to suffocate to death in a solitary room.
"you…"
Zhang Tingfu choked at Sun Wu's words and his face turned red. He felt more uncomfortable than constipation.
The big, silent man in front of me never spoke much, but once he opened his mouth, he could make people half mad.
He stamped his feet and wanted to curse. Although the other person was his superior officer, he was never afraid.
There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the guard camp. The superficial position cannot explain anything, the background and support are the most important.
His Zhang family has been officials for generations, and there are many business tycoons. Who is afraid of whom?
Gu Zhunian heard the noise between Sun Wu and Zhang Tingfu from afar, but he didn't pay attention to the impact at all.
He had been thinking secretly in his heart, why did Lord General Li send these two precious partners to the Major General?
One is as irritable as a firecracker and will burst into flames at a moment's notice, while the other is as aloof as a stone and can't even bear to fart.
