Zhang Jiatian folded Ye Chunhao's letter and put it back into the small purse, and then put the small purse close to him, thinking that it was his talisman.

There were no sweet words in the letter, but he felt tenderness between the lines. The gentleness was very real, he closed his eyes, almost hallucinated, and wondered that Ye Chunhao sat on the edge of the bed, looked at his eyes seriously and spoke, wanting to say her good words into his heart all the time.

She has affection for him, there are thousands of feelings, and it is not only the relationship between men and women that is love. He closed his eyes peacefully, and his mind suddenly became very quiet, so quiet that his mind was exquisite, his ears and eyes were clear.

She is his bodhisattva, thousands of miles away, and she can cross him.

After a night, Zhang Jiatian went out and continued to train his troops. This is almost the Gobi Desert, and after the New Year, it is still as cold as Sanjiu. He braved the cold wind and walked into the barracks, and did not feel any pain—he seemed to have become sluggish and cold now, and had lost the ability to sympathize with himself and others. He doesn't feel it when he suffers himself, and he doesn't feel it when others suffer.

A few months ago, he and Man Shanhong fled all the way north, ran away, and met Hong Xiaojiu again.

He didn't have the face to see Hong Xiaojiu again, but Hong Xiaojiu called him back - after calling back, Hong Xiaojiu was furious and roared and scolded him for half the night. He stood and listened, not refuting a word, without a face.

Then they defected to Feng Zifang.

Feng Zifang has tens of thousands of horses under his command, and he has been rampant in the northern Chabei region for five or six years, which can be regarded as a force to be reckoned with. Feng Zifang hesitantly took them in, and until now, they are still Jews

hesitated, not knowing whether his move had attracted a small group of allies or lured the wolf into the room. In order to prevent them from becoming wolves in their own territory, Feng Zifang separated Hong Xiaojiu and Zhang Jiatian, found two territories separated by 108,000 miles, and let them each station.

Zhang Jiatian actually doesn't care about being "stationed" anymore, he is a bare-handed bare-handed commander with only a mountain full of red by his side, and there are two huts that are enough for them to be stationed. Until this day, Hong Xiaojiu sent someone to call him over, saying that there was something important to discuss.

At Hong Xiaojiu's place, he met a strange person. The strange character is from Beijing, named Chen Bozhi, Zhang Jiatian listened to him at first, listened to him for a long time, only felt that the clouds and mountains were foggy, and he did not understand the essentials, and then listened to it for more than an hour, and he understood little by little.

After understanding, he came to the spirit, and with Hong Xiaojiu, they talked with this Mr. Chen for the second half of the night. After Chen Bozhi arrived in Chahar, he first tried to contact Feng Zifang, but he hit a soft nail, so he changed his route and turned back to find Hong Xiaojiu and Zhang Jiatian.

After a long night of talking, Zhang Jiatian hurried back to his "station" early. The garrison was a desolate village, and the garrison was about thirty soldiers given to him by Hong Xiaojiu, as well as a mountain full of red. Facing Man Shanhong, he said: "I have found a good deal, and I may be able to mix a few dollars as military salaries." ”

Man Shanhong asked, "What kind of deal?"

"Revolution. ”

Early in the morning, Man Shanhong slept unkemptly, and after yawning a few times, she lazily asked, "What is the revolution?"

Without waiting for Zhang Jiatian to answer, she put it up

Waving his hand: "You explained, anyway, if you have money, you can take it." ”

When Zhang Jiatian heard this, he said, "Okay, then it's decided." ”

The two of them "just decided", they all seemed to be a little heartless. Since escaping from the gravel mountain that day, they have been living so heartlessly, they don't say a word about the old things and the old people, as if they are extremely cold-blooded and ruthless, and their eyes will only look forward.

They have to live one day at a time.

After a few days, Zhang Jiatian got 50,000 yuan from Chen Bozhi.

The local area is a poor place, and 50,000 yuan is a huge amount of money, which is enough for Zhang Jiatian to recruit troops. There is no need to work hard to recruit soldiers, and the local strong men, who are half starved to death all year round, are actually not strong at all, heard that they have enough to eat when they become soldiers, and they are very enthusiastic to defect.

Zhang Jiatian was busy a year ago, recruiting four or five hundred people, and Manshanhong divided two hundred people, and did not greet anyone, and directly made himself the head of the regiment, Zhang Jiatian saw it in his eyes, felt that she was too free and casual, and said to her: "You can't do this, right?"

Man Shanhong told him: "I originally made myself a commander, but unfortunately not many people know about it, and my reputation has not spread." ”

"Come on. Zhang Jiatian told her: "You wait, I want to get you a letter of appointment." ”

Within three days of saying this, before he could really think about it, Chen Bozhi came, and he really brought a letter of appointment from the division commander, but it was for Zhang Jiatian - he didn't know that Zhang Jiatian still had a mountain of red here. When he saw the red mountain, he became happy and held Man

Shan Hong's hand shook a few times: "Senior Commander Zhang, you still have a female comrade here?

Man Shanhong winked at Chen Bozhi, he didn't understand what he said, when Zhang Jiatian was a Taiping assistant before, he often heard Ma Yongkun read the newspaper to him, but he understood some new words, and then he pointed at Man Shanhong with his thumb: "Don't look at her as a girl, she is more powerful than the old man." You...... She also has hundreds of people under her, can you get her a letter of appointment as the head of the regiment?"

Man Shanhong finally spoke: "The bigger the better, the division commander is also good, and the commander is the best." ”

Zhang Jiatian glared at her: "You are the commander, where do you put me? Be obedient, the regiment commander will be enough for you to be beautiful!"

Chen Bozhi smiled and said, "I can't do this now, I brought the letter of appointment from Beijing." ”

As soon as Zhang Jiatian heard the word "Beijing", he remembered Ye Chunhao.

Through Chen Bozhi's subordinate agents, he passed his handwritten letter to Ye Chunhao, and through this same route, he got Ye Chunhao's response.

Much later, he recalled the night he received the reply, and found it to be memorable—from this night he was "recoiled" and completely awakened from his nightmare.

By the beginning of spring, Zhang Jiatian had more than 1,000 people under his command, and Man Shanhong also got a letter of appointment from the head of the regiment as he wished. Zhang Jiatian is used to seeing the letter of appointment, and he doesn't take it seriously, but Man Shanhong specially made a few large bundles of yellow paper, used a piece of black charcoal as a pen, wrote his name on it crookedly, and then carried it to the field.

The smoke was billowing and burning for a long time.

When she came back, Zhang Jiatian asked her, "Who do you burn paper for?"

She replied, "Nobody, it's the second one." ”

When she said this, she lowered her head and dusted off the paper ashes on her body, with a look of nonchalant: "When I enter the city in the future, I will find a good pastemaker, paste a few more paper figures, ask for women, paste them beautifully, and burn them as wives." ”

After saying this, she also cleaned her clothes, and suddenly found Zhang Jiatian standing next to her, not moving or speaking, so she raised her head to look at him.

She saw him standing dumbfounded, and at some point, his face was full of tears.

Hurriedly lowered her head again, she pretended not to see, turned around and walked towards the door, there was a large water tank at the door, she scooped up half a scoop of cold water and drank it, even the cold water with tears, swallowed it hard.

After another month, Zhang Jiatian received an order from Chen Bozhi and began to try to harass Chen Yunji's troops in the south.

Chen Yunji never expected that Zhang Jiatian had only been messing with Hong Xiaojiu for a few months, and he actually got the true biography of the other party, saying that he would not die, and he would cheat the corpse at every turn. However, with his strength, it was not a problem to beat a Zhang Jiatian, so he reported the news to Lei Yiming in Beijing, and while he waited for the instructions from Shangfeng, he casually shot back at Zhang Jiatian.

Lei Yiming got the news, but he didn't give any instructions, because he couldn't take care of Zhang Jiatian's 1,800-strong team, the National Revolutionary Army had gone all the way to the north and had already invaded Shandong, and Shandong's Lu Governor had the courage to grab the patrol envoy with him, and it stands to reason that he was also a good man, and now he is in the mountains

Dong, however, was losing and retreating, so he had to send troops to support.

This time, he himself did not plan to go to the front line, after a few months of recuperation, he gained thirteen or fourteen pounds, in the eyes of the people around him, this is simply an unprecedented miracle. The weight of these dozen catties made him significantly flesh and blood, wearing a military uniform, his shoulders, waist, and thighs also had content, and he was no longer a thin clothes rack.

The healthier he was, the more he was afraid that this hard-won health would slip away, so he refused to risk it on the battlefield. And Ye Chunhao has already shown his arms, and he doesn't dare to go, for fear that as soon as he walks on the front foot, the child in her belly on the back foot will be missed-when Lin Shengnan gave birth, he thought that if he was in charge at home, the premature child might be able to survive.

Lei Yiming sent two divisions of troops to Shandong, and as a result, he really helped Lu Duli resist the attack of the Northern Expeditionary Army. However, as soon as the battle situation on the Shandong side stabilized, the Henan side lost its position again, and several armies of the Northern Expeditionary Army were about to meet in Zhengzhou.

Lei Yiming was a little panicked, not panicked, because he still had soldiers in his hands, but he didn't want to fight at the moment. Even if he wants to fight, it is not something that his family can win by sending troops.

He had just grown more than a dozen catties of meat, and he saw that he had lost two catties in a week, and Lin Zifeng came to see him that day, but as soon as he got off the car at the gate, he saw him walking out with a few guards. Today he was dressed in military riding boots, his shirt was unbuttoned, and it was open to reveal the white shirt inside, the hem of the shirt was tucked into military trousers, and his waist was thick, and the belt around his waist was tightly tied. Turn your head to look

Seeing Lin Zifeng, he beckoned: "Come here." ”

Lin Zifeng walked up to him, and saw that he had newly cut his hair, his natural long sideburns were shaved blue, and his pointed chin was gone. A team of cars was slowly driving from the car room behind the house, and in this vacancy, he said to Lin Zifeng: "I want to go to Tianjin, you stay in Beijing, wait for my news." ”

Lin Zifeng asked, "Do you need me to do anything during this period?"

Lei Yiming thought for a while, and then shook his head: "It's hard to say now, maybe it's nothing, I'll be back in two days." ”

At this time, the car with the head had slowly stopped in front of him, the guard stepped forward and opened the rear door for him, he bent down and got into the car, without saying a word, as if he had suddenly forgotten Lin Zifeng.

Lin Zifeng didn't say anything, and watched the car team go away.

Two days later, he saw Lei Yiming's new move in the newspaper - he, Governor Lu Wenrui of Shandong, and Yu Tianzuo of Rehe jointly proposed to organize a national defense army in the name of the 15 provinces in the north and south, and elected the old commander of the northeast as the commander-in-chief. As soon as the Protector Army was formed, it declared war on the Northern Expeditionary Army.

This is a big news, and in addition to this big news, there is also a small news in the newspaper - General Feng Zifang of Chabei was assassinated by assassins in his house yesterday.
