Chapter XXXVIII: The Crisis in Displaced Settlements

Zhang Pengfei was a little absent-minded this morning. Because he heard the head of the Southwest Commercial Bank say in the morning that the second brother had set up a larger camp for displaced people in the Hanzhong area of Shaanxi.

Originally, there was nothing, he knew that the second brother wanted to govern the people and enter Xinjiang, enrich the population base of the frontier, and it was nothing to set up a few more resettlement points for displaced people. As long as there is no rebellion, the Nationalist Government wants you to pay for the homeless people privately, and as long as you don't make trouble, no one will meddle in your affairs.

Therefore, the storage point of Ulanqab has always been the caravan he sent to transport supplies.

But today, I heard from the steward that the resettlement site in Hanzhong had a fight with the local garrison, and all the ** sons of a company of the scourge collection site were killed, and none of them remained.

That's a big deal! I heard that Shaanxi Province is now planning to encircle and suppress! Do you think you can keep Zhang Pengfei from getting angry?

This firefighting incident did quickly attract the attention of ~ Lu Jianzhang, who was the "suppression of bandits" supervision of the Shaanxi Provincial General Administration at the time!

Lu Jianzhang, known as Lu Butcher, is one of the descendants of the generals in the Beiyang Army.

In the spring of 1914, Bai Lang led the Henan Rebel Army into Shaanxi, and Lu Jianzhang's department was organized into the Seventh Division of the Army. He was sent to Shaanxi to suppress bandits.

During Lu Jianzhang's stay in Shaanxi, in order to consolidate his rule in Shaanxi, he engaged in spy terrorist activities, closely monitored the people, and often dispatched several battalions of soldiers and horses to arrest progressives, and everywhere he went, he raped and plundered, and did everything; He also set up brothels in Xi'an, banned smoking, raised taxes, and wantonly extorted and looted the people of Shaanxi. In order to collect money, he sent his soldiers to use companies and platoons as units to loot the township, kidnap and extort all kinds of evil.

This is not! The second master's homeless settlement site has become the target of these ** sons in the township!

However, this time they met Zhang Mazi, who was also a "bandit". Can Zhang Mazi be blackmailed? **When the son touches his hand, where can he still ask for a favor? The two sides opened fire at that time.

Undisciplined **, plus the generation difference in weapons. This group of Lu Jianzhang's subordinates, the "security team" trained by Zhang Mazi by the homeless people, were killed cleanly. Zhang Mazi was happy, but trouble also followed~~~~~~

What do you want to do if you can wipe out a company of garrisons in a homeless settlement? The point is, where do you get your weapons and trained soldiers?

Therefore, Lu Jianzhang deliberately misunderstood that ~ he had found the main force of the Henan rebel army led by Bai Lang, and he was trying to show the merits of "suppressing bandits" to Beijing! Therefore, taking the opportunity to quickly gather the plundering troops, he slaughtered the Hanzhong area with great momentum. Seeing that a big war is about to arise~~~

The Hanzhong region is located in the southwestern part of Shaanxi Province. The main ridge of the Qinling Mountains in the north is adjacent to Baoji City and Xi'an City in this province; The main ridge of Daba Mountain in the south is adjacent to Guangyuan City and Daxian County in Sichuan Province; It is bordered by the Ankang area of the province to the east and the Longnan area of Gansu Province to the west.

It is a necessary place to enter the river by land, and it has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times. It is also located between the mountains of Daba Mountain and Qinling. Therefore, the terrain is complex, the mountains and valleys are crisscrossed, and it is difficult for the army to increase the speed of marching on such roads.

It is also because of this that Zhang Mazi was given time to prepare for the battle and maneuver.

Otherwise, no matter how capable Zhang Mazi is, with advanced weapons with a generational difference, it is impossible to defeat a division of the Beiyang Army with a homeless person who has only received three months of training. The Beiyang Army was the strongest army in China at that time!

Zhang Mazi was afraid of ruining his brother's big thing, so he hurriedly sent a telegram to Pete in the United States.

After receiving the telegram, Pete can be embarrassed to death! ~~~ In the days when there were no pocket phones, you were looking for someone who was running around the United States? Hehe~~~ You can wash and sleep!

also lost the second master's goods, and called Pete regularly to inquire about the purchase. So in the end, the second master finally knew the situation in China.

Although he knew that the Beiyang Army was the strongest army in China at the moment. But if you want to eliminate Zhang Mazi in a short period of time, equipped with sufficient weapons and ammunition, it is also impossible!

So he didn't have much to worry about. just sent a telegram back to Zhang Muzhi. And the American continent was happily harvested again.

At this time, under the crazy robbery of the second master, the United States was already in the rumors, and the grass and trees were all soldiers.

Rumors are raging everywhere~ Hermes (Hermes) descended on the land of the United States, because the US government sold food to the European countries in the Great War, supporting the killing.

So Hermes stole all the food from the United States to punish the Americans for their support of the war. After the second master heard this legend, he even added fuel to the lie after putting on makeup. Don't think that Americans are not superstitious, sometimes, they are more superstitious than Orientals.

(Hermes is the son of Zeus and Maia in Western mythology; the fastest of the gods; the patron saint of thieves, the god of commerce, and the guide of the Yellow Springs.) )

When Zhang Mazi received the telegram, it was seven days later. I saw that the telegram I received was: Fight slowly and train the troops with battle. Hurt him, and Beijing will be able to maneuver. Brother Pengxiang.

Seeing the message of the righteous brother, Zhang Mazi instantly understood what the second master meant. I completely let go of the apprehension in my heart, so let's fight! ~~~ Anyway, he is not short of ammunition, and it is better to train troops in actual combat.

So Zhang Mazi quickly worked out a battle plan for the purpose of training troops with a few recruited comrades-in-arms from the martial arts hall. The formulation of his battle plan was so that Lu Jianzhang, who was known as the butcher of Lu, had a cerebral hemorrhage.

It turned out that the battle plan implemented by Zhang Mazi was an improved version of the guerrilla tactics that the second master had discussed with the second master in Shanghai. Where did Lu Jianzhang play such a reckless style? ~~~

So this battle, which Lu Jianzhang thought could be ended in a month, was not over for half a year. Until the second master returned triumphantly from the United States, Zhang Mazi was still wrestling with Lu Jianzhang in the mountains!

And the plot behind all this. The eldest brother of the second master, Zhang Pengfei, he didn't know. He's just a good big brother who cares about his younger brother, where can he sit when he hears the news? Worried, I hurried home.

When I got home, I saw my second brother's in-laws come to the house. hurriedly stabilized his emotions again, stepped forward and saluted:

"Hello Ann Shibo!"

"My nephew, is this just done?"

Old man Ann is really envious of old friends sometimes! The eldest son is steady and successful. The second child is aggressive and pioneering. The few remaining ones who are still in school are also a temporary choice. Alas! Blessed are you, God help! I can't envy it.

"Yes, Sebo! I just got back from the trading house. ”

Zhang Pengfei replied honestly. He didn't want to reveal his brother's affairs, even though the other party was his brother's father-in-law.

"Brother Pengfei! Little brother has something I want to discuss with you. Do you think you have time? ”

An Zhiyuan saw this eldest brother in law who he admired the most, and hurriedly spoke. Although he works in the government, he is very short of money, although his family is also very rich. But that's the family's asset, and it's being watched by the housewife and a few aunts! So he didn't get much help from his family in his career.

He had to pay attention to his brother-in-law's business. Over the years, he has also saved some private money, so he has always wanted to take a stake in his brother-in-law's business. Even if it's just a dividend!
