Chapter 269: Recruiting pirates to form a naval division
Before dark, more than a dozen officials came to Zhang Lei, Zhang Lei was very happy, the copper-headed king did not be able to control his people tightly, and many people expressed their intention to follow Zhang Lei.
Zhang Lei said to Lynch, Wang Yueying, and Shooting the Moon: "Bring weapons and follow me into the palace." ”
Lynch, Wang Yueying, and Shooting Moon stood solemnly and said yes loudly.
At this time, the typhoon had passed, and there was only sporadic light rain in the sky, and it was already 8 o'clock in the evening, but the sky was still bright.
Zhang Lei walked out of the room with his head held high, and the four copper-headed king guards stopped Zhang Lei with guns, and Lynch went up, one by one.
Zhang Lei came to the bottom of the steps outside the palace, and Zhou Yong's team arrived.
More than two dozen copper-headed Wang guards pointed guns at Zhang Lei.
Zhou Yong's squad rushed forward and pointed German submachine guns at them, and the copper-headed king's guards retreated.
Zhang Lei, Lynch, Wang Yueying, and Shooting Moon strode up the steps.
At the gate of the palace, there were four guards with guns to stop them, and Lynch shot the moon and others stepped forward to take their guns one by one.
Zhang Lei kicked open the palace door and walked in.
Zhou Yong's team quickly controlled the palace gate.
Zhang Lei squeezed away the civil officials and strode towards the copper-headed king, who stood up tremblingly and asked in surprise: "What do you want to do?" ”
Zhang Lei took the copper-headed king away from the throne, didn't look at the copper-headed king, standing in front of the throne, Lynch and Wang Yueying stood on both sides of Zhang Lei, the muzzle of the gun in his hand pointed obliquely upward, and the four people such as the moon pointed at the officials under the hall with two muzzles.
Zhang Lei's voice was like a bell, and he said loudly: "I, Zhang Lei, chairman of the eastern Zhejiang regional government, I announce that this place will be renamed Tongtou County, and if all officials obey the leadership of the eastern Zhejiang regional government, they can hold official positions in the newly formed county government, and their property will not be confiscated." If he wishes, he can go to the Wenzhou Municipal Government to serve as the deputy mayor, and the property of the Copperhead King in Wenzhou City will not be confiscated. However, all property on the island must be surrendered. All armies can be incorporated into our army, and on this basis, our army will form naval divisions. If anyone disobeys my orders, he will be shot and all his property will be confiscated. If you are willing to obey the leadership of the government of eastern Zhejiang, please stand on the left side, and if you are unwilling, please stand on the right side. ”
The officials hesitated in shock, and more than a dozen officials who had visited Zhang Lei in the afternoon took the lead to the left.
Seeing this, many officials also hurried to the left, and there were only a dozen or so officials left on the right.
Zhang Lei looked at the officials on the left and said loudly: "Very good, your family property and family will be protected, and you can serve in the newly established government." ”
Zhang Lei walked down, came to the middle of the officials on the right, looked at an official, and asked with a sneer: "You want to be a traitor?" ”
The official shook his head and said, "For hundreds of years, we were independent. ”
Zhang Lei's right fist slammed into the official's chest, how could this official be able to withstand Zhang Lei's punch? Zhang Lei's force value has reached 40, and the energy value has reached 60, and if this punch hits, the wall will be punched into a hole! The official's body immediately flew out like a sack, and his body knocked the three officials down, and he continued to fly, hitting the wall more than 10 meters away, his head shattered, and his body slowly fell along the wall like a pancake, and the wall was red with blood.
The power of this punch is like a cannonball! Is this a punch that a human being can throw?
The rest of the officials who were still standing hurriedly rolled to the left. The officers who were knocked over and fell to the ground all broke their bones and crawled to the left on the ground.
Zhang Lei returned to the throne and looked at the military division, who quickly jumped down and ran to the left.
Zhang Lei looked at the Copper-headed King, and the Copper-headed King trembled: "I accept your conditions." ”
Zhang Lei nodded and said, "Are you going to stand on the left, or on the right?" ”
The Copperhead King hesitated for a moment, then slowly went down and walked to the left.
Zhang Lei said to Lynch: "Go and release the officers who are locked up." ”
The officers came to the main hall and were stunned to see this scene.
Zhang Lei said loudly: "The civil officials have already expressed their decision to submit to the government, and many will serve in the newly established county government. If you are willing, you can serve in the naval division, if you are unwilling, I will inevitably force anyone, and if you do not want to, you will be disarmed and returned to the field, but you are not allowed to be pirates or traitors. ”
Many officers shouted: "We do!" ”
Zhang Lei said loudly: "All stand upright!" ”
The officers stood upright.
Zhang Lei said: "Row in three rows!" ”
The officers quickly lined up in three rows.
Zhang Lei said loudly: "Those who are willing to join our naval division and serve in the naval division should take a step forward." ”
All took a step forward.
Zhang Lei nodded and said, "Very good!" I would now like to state that all the officers who participate in our naval division, you will be given honorable positions, and the captain will enjoy the rank of regimental, the rank of colonel, the rank of gunboat captain, battalion lieutenant colonel, and so on. With the rank of colonel at the division level, if you have combat merits, you can be promoted to major general or even lieutenant general. ”
In the copper-headed king's study, Zhang Lei sat on a chair, and stood next to him Shooting the moon, Lynch, and Wang Yueying. The Copperhead King and the military advisor stood in front of the thunder.
Zhang Lei said: "Immediately issue an order announcing that all your people are submissive to the government. ”
The copper-headed king asked in a low voice: "Can I really be the deputy mayor of Wenzhou and still own the property in the city?" ”
Zhang Lei nodded and said, "No problem." I'm right for my word. But you must hand over all the hidden treasures to me. ”
The Copperhead King nodded and said, "Okay!" I immediately issued the order. ”
Zhang Lei looked at the military advisor and said, "What do you say?" ”
The military advisor smiled and said, "I am willing to serve in the county government." ”
Zhang Lei nodded and said: "The new government is in great need of talents, you can sort out the list of officials and military personnel for me and hand them over to me." ”
The military advisor nodded again and again and said, "Yes!" I'll do it right away. ”
After the copper-headed king and the military adviser went to do business, Zhang Lei said to Wang Yueying: "Immediately send a telegram to Gu Wei, Qiu Yidan and Zhang Liangen, and ask them to come by boat early tomorrow morning." ”
Wang Yueying said yes loudly.
Zhang Lei said: "Send a telegram to Division Commander Qian Jitong and Army Chief of Staff Lu Wenjie to inform me that we will form a naval division, and that Division Commander Qian Jitong will temporarily serve as the commander of the Navy Division, and Division Commander Qian Jitong will come to the island by boat tomorrow. A report was sent to Vice Chairman Li Guoyong to inform him of the establishment of Tongtou County in Wenzhou. ”
Wang Yueying nodded yes.
After Wang Yueying went back to send the report, Zhang Lei looked at Lynch and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to be a division commander?" As long as you want, this division commander is yours. ”
Lynch shook his head and said, "Captain, you can't leave me, we are brothers, and I will always follow you." I don't want to be a division commander, I'd rather be your guard. ”
Zhang Lei patted Lynch's shoulder, sighed and said, "Brother, I really want to be able to arrange for you." ”
Lynch said, "Being with you is the best arrangement for me." ”
Zhang Lei nodded and said, "Okay! Let's talk about it in the future! ”
Zhang Lei looked at the shooting moon and asked with a smile, "Is it exciting?" ”
Shooting Moon smiled and said, "It's like a dream." Before I came, I didn't know anything about this place, and I was apprehensive, but now I took down the copperhead king without a single shot. With you, miracles happen every day, and everything that is a fait accompli seems to be rehearsed. It doesn't feel like it's a little too easy. ”
Zhang Lei smiled and said, "Easy? Try someone else? ”
Shooting Moon nodded and said, "In another person, we may all be killed by the Copperhead King." ”
Zhang Lei nodded and said: "So, although there is no shock on the surface, in fact, there are murderous opportunities everywhere. ”
Shooting Moon nodded repeatedly.
Zhang Lei said to Lin Qi: "Go and tell Zhou Yong to take all the guards of the copper-headed king, temporarily led by Zhou Yong, control the palace, and all officials cannot leave for the time being." ”
Lynch nodded and said, "Okay." ”
After Lynch left, Shooting Moon looked at Zhang Lei's eyes, and couldn't suppress his excitement and whispered, "Where are you staying tonight?" ”
Zhang Lei whispered: "Of course I live here!" ”
Shooting the moon glanced at Zhang Lei, and her delicate face blushed.
