"Damn!" Zhang Zidong looked at the telegram in his hand and shouted again, "Damn! ”

The driver had never seen the director get so angry, he arrived at a glass of water and handed it to Zhang Zidong, "Don't worry, drink saliva to dissipate your anger." ”

Zhang Zidong spit it out after taking a sip, "Why is it boiled water, I want to drink hot tea." ”

The driver hurriedly made a cup of hot tea and brought it over. "Director, who provoked you?"

Zhang Zidong took the tea and slapped the table fiercely, "Who else is not the little ancestor of the Lu family." He is now holding his Lao Tzu and the Cantonese army in Guangdong to prepare to interfere in Fujian's internal affairs and help Wang Le regain power from the beginning. Stupidity. ”

The driver thought for a moment, "You are the director of the anti-smoking bureau, this is a military matter, you don't need to be too angry." ”

Zhang Zidong glared at the driver angrily, "What do you know?" All military operations are related to the people's livelihood, and at present, Zhejiang's finances are tight, the pockets are empty, and the income of the Civil Affairs Department is negative, and he still wants to start a war, isn't this nonsense? ”

The driver scratched his head, "Director, no, how can we have so many big landlords and gentry on the rich side of Zhejiang?" ”

Zhang Zidong sighed, "Years of warlord melee have led to the people's misery, let's take tax collection as an example, the military yamen decree is not uniform, all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes are like cattle hair, in the first half of the year, Wang Inspector Jun wanted to collect taxes, only half a year later, Wang Inspector was driven away and Governor Li came, all the taxes paid before were overturned, and taxes had to be collected." This is the case at the top, and the yamen at the bottom is even more daring, and some places have put taxes until 20 years later, and the people can still be willing to pay taxes. If this war continues, the people of Fujian will not win, and the people of Zhejiang will rebel first. ”

The driver suddenly realized, "What can I do now?" ”

Zhang Zidong spread his hands helplessly, "What should I do?" Hankou City is now under martial law, and we can't rush back to Zhejiang, so there is no way to do it. ”

The teahouse came in from the door, and he said to Zhang Zidong, "Mr. Zhang, there is an old man Xu wearing a military uniform outside who wants to see you." ”

Zhang Zidong looked at the driver suspiciously, "General Xu?" In addition to General Zhang, which other general is here in Hankou? ”

"Hahaha, hello Director Zhang." Xu Hu was uninvited, and he rudely pushed the ward rounds aside. "The contemptible Xu Hu is the commander of the first division under Sun Dashuai, and I heard that Director Zhang is staying here to pay a visit."

Director Zhang was very disgusted when he heard that it was Sun's people, and now the situation in Fujian and Zhejiang was urgent, and at this time, Sun's men came to see him, could it be that he wanted to arrest himself. Director Zhang smiled slightly, "Ao, it turned out to be General Xu, I have heard the name for a long time, and it is like thunder!" Back then, you became famous in the battle between Sun Dashuai and Zhang Guizi, and I heard that the head of Chu Tianhe, the chief of staff under Zhang Guizi, was cut off by your own hands, which is really famous, it is better to meet. ”

Xu Hu knew that Director Zhang was sarcastically killing himself, and he was very dissatisfied in his heart, but his face was not good to show, so he could only smile awkwardly. "The killing is ominous, and Sun Dashuai regretted it many times afterwards. But you don't know, those White Russian soldiers were so strong in combat that they killed half of my men at that time, and in the end we also killed Red Eye. ”

"Hmph, I don't know why General Xu came to me." Zhang Zidong sat on the chair and crossed Erlang's legs and said.

Xu Hu saw that Zhang Zidong did not give up his seat, so he stood and replied, "At present, Wang Le in Fujian wants to join forces with the Guangdong army and your side to seize our Fujian, and Lu Dashuai refuses to make all the telegrams with my family officials. ”

"Hmph, I've also heard about this matter, I'm mainly in charge of administration in Zhejiang, and military affairs are not something I can manage, everything is under the command of General Lu." Zhang Zidong arched his hand and pointed at his head.

"Hahaha, Director Zhang is too modest, as far as I know, when General Lu was still the company commander, you were the platoon commander under him, your prestige in the Zhejiang army is quite high, and General Lu will not listen to your opinion." Xu Hu had already thoroughly investigated Zhang Zidong's situation before he came.

Zhang Zidong didn't speak, just lowered his head and drank tea.

"We are a direct line, you are a direct family, a straight Anhui family, we are all Beiyang orthodoxy, although there was a lot of unpleasantness before, but the muzzle of the gun should still be consistent with the outside world at the critical moment. I heard that in order to stabilize the political situation, Cao and Wu are ready to ask Duan Dashuai to form a cabinet. As for the Cantonese army! That is a group of bandits in Guangdong, if General Lu insists on getting together with them, General Duan will not be able to hang his face at that time. Xu Hu stated the relationship to Zhang Zidong, and these words touched Zhang Zidong's heart, and also reminded him that there was indeed news recently that Cao Wu and Duan Dashuai had met many times. Why couldn't Lu Dashuai think of this layer.

"What General Xu said is reasonable, I didn't agree with sending troops to northern Fujian, but my handsome family spoiled his precious son too much, so that he made such an irrational move, confused." Zhang Zidong finally told the truth.

Xu Hu's confidence increased greatly, "General Lu Xiao, the second ancestor, is indeed not angry, but Director Zhang doesn't need to take care of the overall situation at this time!" Xu Hu arched his hand.

"I can't manage it, I can't manage it!" Zhang Zidong waved his hand, "Send off!" Zhang Zidong didn't want to offend General Lu Xiao because of this matter, after all, it was a father and son who broke bones and connected tendons, if he did this, this beam would be concluded in the future.

"It's okay, but I still have to advise Director Zhang, silence can only be exchanged for eternal silence in the end." Xu Hu shook off a sentence and left.

Zhang Zidong looked at Xu Hu's back, and stopped talking.

"Director, what he said makes sense, you can't let the little general mess around!" The driver advised.

"The reason why I became the director of this anti-smoking bureau is that the little thing came up with the idea, saying that I am worried that I will become a big problem if I don't lose my tail, and if I come forward to oppose this military operation, hey, I am afraid that I will be killed immediately. Let's eat, eat. Zhang Zidong waved his hand.

The teahouse brought two bowls of noodles and put them on the table, "Mr. Zhang, recently Hankou has quit smoking, eating and drinking are all problems, the small shop has no vegetables now, and can only cook 20,000 soup noodles, and the two of you will do it at once." The teahouse handed the noodles to Zhang Zidong, Zhang Zidong took it with both hands, who would have thought that a steel knife was about to be stabbed at Zhang Zidong under the teahouse's food plate, and Zhang Zidong couldn't dodge in a panic. Fortunately, the driver was quick and smashed the teahouse with the tea bowl at hand, and the teahouse missed the opportunity to assassinate Zhang Zidong in a flash. He hurriedly fled towards the door, and it didn't take long for a gunshot to sound outside the house, and after a while, General Xu walked up carrying the corpse of the teahouse.

Zhang Zidong was stunned and sat on the stool panting.

"I felt that this teahouse was sneaky just now, but I didn't expect it to be an assassin." Xu Hu threw the corpse of the teahouse on the ground. Director Zhang, this is what I found from this person's arms. Here's your photo. ”

Zhang Zidong took the photo and his eyes widened angrily, "Damn, I haven't looked for anything about you yet, but you guys are starting to do it." Little bastard surnamed Lu, I have to cut you with a thousand knives. ”

"How does Director Zhang know that General Lu Xiao did it? There is no name on this photo. ”

"This is a photo of me and Lu Dashuai the year before last, he has one, I have one, there is no third person, I and Lu Dashuai are friends of life and death, he can't kill me, only his son may be, no, this battle between Fujian and Zhejiang must not be fought." Zhang Zidong said categorically.
