Chapter 127 The nature is difficult to change

A wave of snow fell on the southwest of Lu, and the fields covered in silver were covered with a white veil. In the middle www.biquge.info of last year, Li Zhong's headquarters of the 20th Brigade of the 5th Division moved from Liaocheng to Taierzhuang to the strategic point of Taierzhuang to undertake the task of defending the new industrial zone in Zaozhuang.

In the cold winter wax moon, Li Zhong's small life was very moist. It's nine cold days outside, and it's warm inside. At this time, Li Zhong was getting tired of Xinna's concubine in his arms, and his subordinates stood in front of the door to report: "Report to the brigade commander, the 62nd regiment commander Zhang Meng asks to see!" When Li Zhong heard this, he hurriedly sent the concubine away, tidied up his clothes, and ordered Zhang Meng to come in.

As the days passed, Li Zhong was obviously blessed, and his chin had fat. Zhang Meng walked in in casual clothes, "Brother has worked hard, I have seen Zhang Xun!" "Seeing it, Zhang Xun promised that as long as we pulled over a group of people, he would let the eldest brother serve as the deputy commander of the Wuding Army. Big brother, this time I went to Xuzhou, the Wuding army was really moisturized, and he was free to eat and drink spicy food every day. It's like our military discipline is strict, and you have to be sneaky when you go to the kiln. “

Zhang Meng took a sip of tea and continued: "Don't look at the Wuding Army, there are only more than 3,000 people, but all the officers and soldiers keep their braids, which shows that President Yuan Da looks at them differently." Now that the Republic of China is peaceful, why should we ask for hardship. ”

Li Zhong stroked his beard and hesitated: "Defecting to Zhang Xun, this is called selling for glory, let me think about it." "Big brother, with Ge Yunfei, you can only endure hardships every day, prepare for war every day, the training officer from the division headquarters is simply a devil, I don't want to live a day like this." "Brother, Ge Yunfei is in the sky and has a bright future, I'll wait and see." "Big brother, the 62nd regiment is all old people on the mountain, and there is no problem in pulling it over. I heard Liu Qi say that Zhang Dashuai is recruiting troops, and it is the right time for us to pull over. ”

"The stakes are high, and we need to think about it in the long run." "Big brother, Ge Yunfei asked us to garrison Taierzhuang, saying that this place is very important, but we don't want to see you at all. We have made great contributions to the capture of Jinan, but what kind of bird is that Jiang Fangzhen, didn't he go to a military academy, and he didn't actually serve as the chief of staff, so it stands to reason that Ge Yunfei should give you the position of deputy division commander. "Ge Yunfei is because of the events of the year. To put it bluntly, you know the details of his back then, so he gave face. ”

"Big brother, now that Ge Yunfei is in a high position, what was that bit of back then, maybe he would unload the mill and kill the donkey that day, this is definitely not a place for you and me to settle down." "Zhang Xun can be relied on, this person has connections. You sent someone to tell him that after the Chinese New Year, I would personally go to Xuzhou for an interview. "Big brother, if you keep making decisions, you will leave trouble, I will send someone to tell Zhang Xun!" After Zhang Meng left, Li Zhong thought of his concubine again and couldn't help but be horny. The concubine had recently been bought from a brothel and was very good at serving men.

At this time, in the headquarters of the 61st Regiment of the 20th Brigade, Ge Yunfei, Wen Biao, and a man in civilian clothes were seated. "Captain Lu, your people are here!" Ge Yunfei asked the man in civilian clothes. "Back to the Overseer, my men are here, and they are currently staying at the inn."

The person known as Captain Lu is called Lu Jian, the captain of the special combat team formed by He Zhixin, who graduated from the Zhoucun Lecture and Martial Arts Hall. The number of special combat teams is 200, and they came to Taierzhuang this time to carry out a special mission. "Captain Lu, starting tomorrow, you will take the car to Xuzhou, and I will prepare weapons and ammunition for you in Xuzhou. After arriving in Xuzhou, you must not act without authorization, and listen to my instructions at any time. "Subordinates obey orders!"

After the man in civilian clothes said goodbye, an officer hurriedly entered and said, "Overseer, deputy brigade commander, Zhang Meng is back and goes directly to the brigade headquarters." My people followed him to Xuzhou, and he met Zhang Xun in secret. "Overseer, but it has been confirmed that Li Zhong has rebelled." Wen Biao agreed. "Pass my order, after Zhang Meng leaves the brigade headquarters, he will be secretly arrested and escorted here." "Yes!" After his subordinates left, Ge Yunfei's face was ugly. "Overseer, you have always taken care of Li Zhong and have always tolerated his misconduct against military discipline, and this traitor seeking glory will never be forgiven."

"It's just a matter of playing with women, but I actually colluded with Zhang Xun, so it's no wonder that I'm not impressed. Just planned to get rid of Zhang Xun in one fell swoop. There are three reasons why Ge Yunfei set his sights on Zhang Xun, one is that Yuan Shikai is not interested in Zhang Xun and is in the middle of it. Second, Zhang Xun kept his braids to show that he was loyal to the Qing court and unpopular, and third, Ge Yunfei wanted to control Jiangsu. Perhaps by coincidence, Li Zhong's secret contact with Zhang Xun was discovered by Wen Biao. Originally, the plan to strangle Zhang Xun was to be implemented after the year, but after receiving Wen Biao's report, Ge Yunfei decided to take action in advance. “

Soon after, Zhang Meng was captured and taken into the torture room. As soon as he entered the room, Zhang Meng was furious when he saw Wen Biao, but when he saw Ge Yunfei sitting inside, he was immediately stupid. "Overseer, you want to call the shots for me, why did Wen Biao arrest me?" "Why did you arrest you, you know best!" Wen Biao sneered. "Wen Biao, you don't want to spew blood, what did I do?" "Zhang Meng, tell me how you colluded with Zhang Xun." When Zhang Meng heard this, a cold sweat suddenly broke out. "Overseer, wronged, I went to Xuzhou to visit the kiln."

"Looks like you don't want to recruit someone!" "Overseer, I'm wronged, I'm really going to visit the kiln!" The two soldiers came up and couldn't help but say that they stripped Zhang Meng naked and tied him to a cross post. A burly soldier picked up a leather whip and stuck cold water and whipped fiercely. Zhang Meng howled like a pig while begging Ge Yunfei for mercy. Pumped the 10th whip, Zhang Meng couldn't stand it. "Don't fight, don't beat me??????。" Zhang Meng confessed that in the past, when he was in the Boxers, there was a brother named Liu Qi, who was once a brother. This time he moved to Taierzhuang, Zhang Meng secretly went to Xuzhou to visit a brothel, and unexpectedly ran into Liu Qi.

Liu Qi served as a battalion deputy in Zhang Xun's guard battalion, and under Liu Qi's lobbying and needle threading, Li Zhong and Zhang Meng were lively and had the idea of defecting to Zhang Xun. After listening to Zhang Meng's explanation, Wen Biao said in an air: "Overseer, I will immediately bring someone to arrest Li Zhong!" Ge Yunfei pondered for a while and said, "You can't let the situation expand, you go and invite Li Zhong here, just say that I am here and am drinking here." "The regimental headquarters of the 61st Regiment was not far from the brigade headquarters, and about half an hour, Li Zhong came in a panic.

Li Zhong walked into the torture room and saw Ge Yunfei sitting on a chair with a gloomy face, Zhang Meng being tied to a wooden stake, and understanding everything about the skin and flesh of his upper body. "Overseer, you know all about it. It seems that everything is under your control, and I have nothing to say about it. Li Zhong raised his head and put on a righteous pretense. Li Zhong, you are a good man, if you kneel and beg for mercy, I will kill you mercilessly. I thought that one day you would leave me, but I didn't expect it to come so soon. ”

"Untie Zhang Meng!" Two soldiers stepped forward to untie the rope and smeared the golden gun medicine on Zhang Meng's body. "Li Zhong, I can't hide it, your every move is in my sight. I can tolerate playing with women and violating military discipline, but the only thing I can't bear is selling out for glory. After all, we are brothers, don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, you and Zhang Meng will take your family to Shanghai to be foolish. Originally, I came this time to strangle Zhang Xun, and this lackey of the Qing court must be eliminated. ”

Li Zhong's face was pale and speechless, "Before you and Zhang Meng leave, do one last thing for me, and get rid of Zhang Xun and the pigtail army in one fell swoop." "Thank you for the Overseer's grace not to kill, I promise to listen to you." Soon, the group returned to the brigade headquarters, and Wen Biao's men got off the firearms of the brigade headquarters guards and temporarily detained them. Ge Yunfei asked Li Zhong to call and ordered the officers above the company level of the 62nd, 63rd, and 64th regiments to rush to the brigade headquarters for a meeting. About an hour later, officers above the company level gathered at the brigade headquarters. As the generals entered the hall and took their seats, they were surprised to see the Overseer suddenly appear.

Ge Yunfei looked around at the generals and said majestically: "Arrest all the officers of the 62nd Regiment for me!" "The guards swarmed up, subdued all the officers of the 62nd regiment, and discharged their guns. The generals were all stupid when they saw this scene, and Ge Yunfei continued: "Li Zhong, Zhang Meng, and Yu Zhang Xun secretly colluded in an attempt to pull the 62nd Regiment away and defect to Zhang Xun. The facts were confirmed, the two had confessed, and the Overseer decided to clear the portal. Li Zhong and Zhang Meng were pale and silent. After all, the official Yu Li Zhong is a brother, and I can't be unkind if he is unjust, so I decided to let them go to Shanghai to be foolish. ”

"You are all Li Zhong's old subordinates, if you are willing to follow Li Zhong, I will fulfill you!" "Overseer, Li Zhong betrayed the lord for glory, I don't know, I have no second heart to be loyal to the Overseer." Lin Chuang, commander of the 62nd Battalion of the 3rd Regiment, shouted loudly. "I am loyal to the overseers, and I have no two hearts," the officers of the second regiment knelt down one after another, the commander of the first battalion and the commander of the second battalion did not kneel, obviously the two were Li Zhong's henchmen. "Everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't be forced to stay, and now I order Lin Chuang to serve as the head of the second regiment." "Xie Du has heavy weapons, and his subordinates are determined to smear their livers and brains, and serve the work of dogs and horses."

Subsequently, Ge Yunfei appointed two more company commanders to serve as battalion commanders. The next day, the officers and men of the whole brigade were grouped up, and Ge Yunfei announced the decision to deal with Li Zhong and Zhang Meng in front of the officers and men of the whole brigade, and at the same time appointed Wen Biao as the commander of the 4th Brigade. Except for the two battalion commanders who were willing to follow Li Zhong, his old subordinates all pledged their allegiance to Ge Yunfei. In this situation, what does Li Zhong think, I'm afraid that his intestines are repentant. A crisis was easily resolved, but Ge Yunfei's mood was extremely heavy.

Li Zhong wanted to pull away people and horses to do it alone, he could understand it, but he actually wanted to defect to Zhang Xun. Zhang Xun asked his subordinates to keep their braids, apparently loyal to the Qing court. Li Zhong had an enmity with the Qing court, and he actually wanted to defect to Zhang Xun, it seems that people will change.

"Overseer, Li Zhong wrote a letter, I sent someone to send it to Zhang Xun, when will we take action." "Prepare for the day tomorrow and act the day after tomorrow." "Damn, Zhang Xun, this kid, he didn't know that he was dying at the end of his life, he brought it on himself." "You go tell Captain Lu and let his people leave as soon as possible." "Yes!"

At this time, in Li Zhong's residence, several people sat on chairs and languished, but their complexion seemed to be a little better. Zhang Meng wanted to say something and moved his body, but suddenly there was pain and he couldn't help grinning. "Okay, don't say anything, you and I are not Ge Yunfei's opponents. Go back and prepare, we are going to Xuzhou. "To Xuzhou?" A subordinate is confused. "Ge Yunfei is very shrewd, he wants to kill two birds with one stone, and Zhang Xun is dying." Zhang Meng asked: "Ge Yunfei dares to make a move on Zhang Xun, so he is not afraid of President Yuan's anger?" ”

"What do you know, Ge Yunfei doesn't have Shang Fang's sword, it is impossible to make a move on Zhang Xun, this is my fate." "Damn, I didn't expect Wen Biao to be loyal to Ge Yunfei with all his heart, it was he who ruined our big deal." "Good birds perch on trees, and if you want to complain, you will complain that I am not thoughtful. It's better for us to be careful, even if we arrive in Shanghai, we don't dare to guarantee that our lives are worry-free. "Big brother, could it be that Ge Yun flew out and rebelled?" "Just because Ge Yunfei let us go doesn't mean that others will let us go. Therefore, we must be careful not to spoil Ge Yunfei's big thing. ”

"It seems that we can't run out of Ge Yunfei's palm, let's leave it to fate!" Several subordinates were terrified and their faces were like ashes.
