Section 46 Putting one's heart into one's stomach to win over the generals

"I, Wu Ziyu, and you are colleagues, and I don't have any deep hatred. You are also food and soldiers, and this brother is also our robe, so you have to be forgiving and forgiving, and please make it convenient for you. Little Er, I'll send you the money another day, how about it? It seems that Wu Peifu doesn't have a lot of money, but he can't get used to the style of these two guys, and he heard that Wu Luzhen is an officer and student studying in the East, so he came forward on his behalf.

"Shout, I don't have any money to charge my uncle. Your kid is a white skin in the concession, but you can't manage our one-third of an acre of land, and tell you that this shop is the property of our brother-in-law, not to mention that you are a mourning stick, even if your team is right, you have to meet at the same level as our Tong Zhutou. The master is looking at a kid today who is not pleasing to the eye, maybe it is a messy party, and the master will be arrested and tortured carefully. Hua Leng shook off the iron chain and was about to take someone, "Boy, count you on your back words, look at your fine skin and tender meat, go back with your master and enjoy the blessings." ”

"Ping-pong", the guy who was talking there was like cross talk, and he was kicked out of the side and ran out ten meters away, and the iron chain flew into the store, and there was a sound of porcelain breaking. "Ah, someone attacked the officials and robbed the prisoners. What a big dog guts, you wait, I'm here" The other one didn't understand it, and he saw that his partner was just hanging his arm to watch the excitement from the side and ran to the middle circle with a big foot, and after waiting for two or three seconds to react, his partner was still crawling on the ground and didn't move, for fear that he was going to burp and catch a cold. This didn't dare to pull out the knife to hard, shouted loudly but retreated step by step, planning to come a good man not to suffer the loss in front of him, turned his head and just planned to start and run away to call someone, his eyes were dark, and when he looked at it, he gave a "mom" to pee. Four strong men dressed as bodyguards blocked the way, four swarthy and blue box cannons, and the muzzles of the black holes were facing their heads and chests.

"Women, do you know why I kicked you? Your two dead grandsons are here to get in the way of the eyes of the masters, do you know who this master is, it's my brother, and I can't write two Wu characters in one stroke. Bullying my brother, if you don't repair and paste it, the master will have your surname. "It's easy for Lao Tzu to play, and his Jinan dialect makes this a little blindsided." Slippery, open the skylight for these two things, and throw them into the river to finish. "I squeezed the eyes of a few bodyguards, and they bad boys already understood what I meant, and deliberately scared them. These people's expressions were still grim, and with a click of the thumb of their right hand on the hammer, the nose of the machine opened widely, and the muzzle of the gun was still aimed at the head of the street patrolman. Although he has never seen such a high-end weapon as a barge gun, he also understands from the movement of the nose that as long as this short-tempered master crooks his mouth, he and his partner's lives will be explained on the spot. Peeking at the looks of these bodyguards, it seems that this master often kills people in the street, and the bodyguards are commonplace, the beads of sweat on the head are like a waterfall, this street patrol directly knelt down, slapped himself, and kowtowed to apologize, Wu Ziyu obviously didn't want to see the ugliness of his peers, frowned and turned his face away. Wu Luzhen was very excited at first, but gradually showed an unbearable look, as if she wanted to persuade me to calm my anger. Alfred, however, did not expect me to be so violent tonight, and startled him, and then watched one of the Qing Dynasty patrolmen kneel on my knees and beg for mercy, and the other was directly beaten and passed out, he shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and seemed to be unable to understand the situation. I saw that things were almost over, and deliberately said hello to Alfred, "Old man, I'm really sorry today, I didn't expect to let two bedbugs disturb the interest of the brothers, it just so happens that this is also my brother, it's better to meet by chance, let's go to Lucy's Bar in the Purple Bamboo Forest for a drink." ”

"Ha, good idea, Sean. Let's go back to the concession, these troubles give the consulate a headache. Today you let me have a very delicious dinner, I will arrange the supper, how about the authentic Scottish veal steak, two Mr. Wu, I please. Come on, call your brother along. "When Alfred heard that I was going to have a drink together, he directly ignored the situation of the two police officers in front of him, of course, in the eyes of the people of the British Empire, the soldiers of the Qing Kingdom were probably not as high as the status of the red-headed Ah San, so he was just a little surprised that I was a street raider, but he didn't take it to heart.

"This, I, the two gentlemen, we met in Pingshui, we have never known each other, it seems that "Wu Luzhen heard that Alfred and I were going to take him to the concession as soon as I sang and harmonized, and we had to have a supper together, and I suddenly felt that my brain couldn't turn around, and I instinctively planned to refuse.

"Hey, your name is Wu Luzhen, my name is Wu Yuhan, it was a family five hundred years ago, why did you have to know each other. It's fate to be able to meet my brothers today, how can I do it without a drink. I naturally put my arm around Wu Luzhen's shoulder, "It's so late, do you have anything urgent?" ”

"That's not true," Wu Luzhen said in her heart, except that I had no money to pay the bill, I had no urgency in the past two days.

"That's not the end, the world is big, and the drinking is the biggest. Listen to me, let's slaughter the old man tonight. I said, without giving Wu Luzhen a chance to refuse, I turned my head to Wu Peifu on the side and said, "This police officer is also surnamed Wu, right?" ”

"Yes, the contemptible person is" Wu Peifu saw that I was so familiar with foreigners, and the bodyguards around me were all capable people, and they could bring guns in the concession, so they must have a great background, I didn't want to cause trouble, but I didn't expect me to take the initiative to find him.

"I know, that guy said just now, your name is Wu Ziyu. Since we have the same surname, we are also my brothers, so let's have a drink together. ”

"This, I" Wu Peifu was about to make an excuse, but I turned my head and ordered the bodyguards.

"Brothers, throw these two things aside, don't get in the way here. Da Liu took my brother's account by the way, and saw what other luggage he had, don't let this black shop be fooled. Ertou, you go and call our car, and you plan to let the gentleman slip his legs. "I deliberately didn't take Wu Peifu's stubble, you must know that Wu Peifu has been a patrol officer for two years and has been a deputy captain, but he is not a soft-skinned student like Wu Luzhen, and he can't give him any chance to shirk.

A few people took the two-wheeled English carriage we came out of, and after crossing the bridge for a while, we arrived at the Purple Bamboo Forest Concession, and in order to take care of Erwu, Alfred did not go to Lucy's Bar, but went to a Scotman-owned steakhouse and asked for a private room. Alfred saw that I had something to say to Er Wu, so he explained to a few bodyguards how to eat steak, and when these savages dealt with the five ripe steaks, Wu Luzhen and Wu Peifu and I were chatting over gin at another small table. Eight ripe steaks are very appetizing to Wu Luzhen, and neither the people of Hubei nor Jiangsu seem to be averse to the almost fully cooked steak. Wu Luzhen hadn't eaten properly for a few days, so she simply let go of her hands and feet and munched on the steak. Wu Peifu was preoccupied, cutting small pieces, and the steak barely moved. I didn't plan to go around in circles, so I bluntly said my identity, knowing that I was "the Qing Dynasty Guoshan East and West Three Prefectures Regiment Training Inspection, the Political Envoy of the Yamen Engineering Department and the Director of the South Gate Military Camp, and the Special Envoy for the Finishing of the Pavilions in Shandong", although the dignified official of the four products, although he was born in the donation class, but I am the guest of Yuan Shikai, the governor of Shandong and the commander of the right army of Wuwei, which makes the two people who are interested in the development of the military bright.

"To be honest, I'm not actually an official, and I'm not an official. I am an expert in making money in business, but I am a layman in leading troops in war. I also introduced just now, now the Jinan Chamber of Commerce is also considered to be a wealthy and powerful, I didn't expect to be calculated by the villain two days ago, and actually gathered ignorant villagers and sideways, in broad daylight, besieged the provincial capital, robbed property, killed people and set fires, and did all kinds of evil. Although the insurance regiment of the Chamber of Commerce repelled the boxers this time, their own casualties were not small, and the consumption of ammunition was huge, and the results were few. At present, the insurance regiment has reached 600 guns, and the guns are Manlixia rifles and three modified old howitzers, and the squad leader and above have two guns, divided into four detachments and a recruit team. In this regimental training, the ambassador knows nine out of ten about commandβ€”he doesn't know anything. The current two detachment leaders are quite competent, but they lack skills, so if the two of them don't dislike me Jinan Chamber of Commerce Temple is small and can't tolerate the true gods, I lick my face and respectfully ask the two to take charge of the two main detachments before and after, and ask the two brothers to create a great cause with me? ”

"Okay, oh, but I don't have to graduate from the non-commissioned officer school until next year." Wu Luzhen was a student after all, and when he heard that he could be in charge of a team of 100 people, and that he was well-armed and well-paid, he was naturally excited, and he wanted to agree, but thinking that he was returning to his hometown to visit relatives, and he had not yet graduated from the non-commissioned officer school, which made him a little careless. But to give up such a good opportunity, he is really unwilling, after all, he has to start from the sentry commander when he returns to China after graduation, and the number of people under his hands is only fifty, and the relationship between the upper layers, how can he have a bright future, and although the insurance regiment is a militia group, but my grade is there, and he is one of the chief officers of the four main forces as soon as he goes, it can be said that he is in charge of one army, how not to let him be moved.

"It's easy to say, I have a little friendship with Akashi Yuzo of Akashi Trading Company in Shanghai, they Akashi Trading Company is the money bag of the Changzhou Domain, it is not difficult to help you a foreign student to handle a Lu Shi school or suspend school, you can go to me first to lead the team, I will help you dredge the joints, and never delay the completion of your studies, you see how it is." I remembered the bald man of Akashi Trading Company, who was about to introduce my bicycle production line, in fact, I also planned to open up the market in Japan, Akashi was originally one of my choices, so as to get close to the Nagasu Domain, and in the future, it was also a shadow buried in the Japanese Military Department, with the influence of the Nagasu Domain in the Japanese Army, this little thing is simply not worth mentioning.

Got Wu Luzhen, but saw Wu Ziyu looked indifferent, it seems that this guy is not easy to do, sure enough, he turned down my invitation on the grounds that he would return to his hometown in the future, and his family was already in charge of his official position, it seems that he can only find a way in the future, anyway, he has left a live buckle, and he will talk about it when the time comes, with this invitation, at least Wu Peifu will be one of his options when he chooses. I was already surprised to be able to get a Wu Luzhen tonight, and I have to be kind.

Anyway, sooner or later, the handsome talent of the old Wu family will always come to my bowl, wahahaha!
