Chapter 234: The Embarrassed Governor of Liangjiang
Zhang Renjun, the governor of Liangjiang, had just learned that Wang Yongan's inn had been burned, and immediately rushed to the inn in a sedan chair. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info he was uneasy all the way when he came, yesterday Wang Zhang conflicted, he wanted to punish the two of them a little today, but he didn't want Wang Yongan to be burned to death at night. As soon as Wang Yongan died, it goes without saying that everyone knew that Zhang Xun did it, but Wang Yongtai only had such a younger brother. In the year of Wuxu, the Wang family in Yangzhou was persecuted, only Wang Yongtai and Wang Yongan two brothers escaped death, and it is rumored that Wang Yongtai killed too many people and damaged Yin Virtue and could not give birth to children, and only Wang Yongan of the Wang family could pass on the ancestry. Wang Yongan was burned to death by Zhang Xun, but after the desperation, Wang Yongtai had to be killed under the city of Nanjing.
Besides, Zhang Xun, you are no longer satisfied with Wang Yongan, he is also Yuan Shikai's son-in-law, his own relative!
It's messy, it's messy, everything is messed up, Zhang Xun, Zhang Xun, how can you be so reckless!
As soon as the sedan chair landed, Zhang Renjun lifted the curtain and just walked out, and went to Shao Yongqin and other guard battalions to force the water and fire team to accompany the funeral with guns, and was suddenly startled. Because of the convening of the anti-bandit conference, Nanjing City was originally nervous, if a soldier accidentally raised his gun and fired a shot at Zhang Renjun...... So Zhang Renjun was so frightened that he hurried back to the sedan chair.
Seeing this, Yuan Zhaofu hurriedly walked up to Shao Yongqin and pleaded: "This general, the governor of Liangjiang has arrived!" Calm down, don't be rude, don't use a gun! ”
"Who are you?"
"Yuan Zhaofu, a staff member of the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion, is below."
Shao Yongqin said with red eyes: "It's not your master who died, of course you are calm!" ”
Yuan Zhaofu said embarrassedly: "This general, be cautious, be cautious." The fire inside is unsettled, how do you know that General Wang Xiao was burned to death? If he escaped last night, wouldn't you kill people now to put General Wang Xiao in a place of injustice? ”
Shao Yongqin put away the gun and stood aside angrily.
After a while, the chief of the patrol police road came with people and reported to Zhang Renjun. Seeing that Shao Yongqin and more than 100 others did not put down their guns in their hands, seeing that they were looking for trouble and making trouble, this group of people was strong and strong, but they didn't dare to provoke and provoke, so they spoke further to Zhang Renjun. When the two of them came to a secluded place, the chief of the patrol carefully reported: "The doors and windows have been nailed shut, and there are traces of fire oil on the ground, and someone must have set it on fire." ”
"Huh?" Zhang Renjun was taken aback, "Could it be ...... Is it really ......?"
The chief of the patrol police immediately said: "Maybe the rebel party learned of the conflict between Zhang and Wang, and set fire to General Wang overnight, trying to set the blame and provoke the battle between the 24th Mixed Association and the Jiangfang Battalion. ”
"Yes, it has to be that way to get into outsiders." Zhang Renjun said immediately, but he also knew from his heart that if the chaotic party could have this ability, it would not fail repeatedly, it must be Zhang Xun who was angry and acted recklessly. This Zhang Xun is a reckless character, he can really do something to retaliate, and Nanjing is Zhang Xun's territory, if he wants to kill Wang Yongan, there is a way. However, this Wang Yongan died in Nanjing City, and Wang Yongtai must be angry afterwards, and Zhang Renjun must come up with a perfect strategy. Then he summoned Yuan Zhaofu and discussed with him, Yuan Zhaofu was also taken aback when he heard it, and said: "It must be pushed to the rebel party, otherwise this Wang Yongtai will definitely go crazy." ”
On the other side, Shao Yongqin and the others suddenly saw the guards beside Wang Yongan appear, and hurriedly said something in his ear, Shao Yongqin was first shocked and then delighted. When Yuan Zhaofu came, Shao Yongqin arched his hand and said, "Mr. Yuan, I am going to return to Yangzhou immediately, and I will say goodbye." ”
"Why don't you wait to check it out?" Yuan Zhaofu said strangely.
Shao Yongqin said coldly: "Fortunately, my young master was not killed, but the thieves can't give up if they commit this incident, otherwise they will think that my twenty-four mixed association is easy to bully, and we will return to Yangzhou and be ready for war." Leave! Then with a wave of his hand, more than a hundred soldiers from the pro-military battalion left with their guns on their shoulders.
The water and fire team rushed into the fire and found some corpses inside, but did not find the bodies of Wang Yongan and others.
Zhang Renjun also relieved his heart and took a long breath, fortunately Wang Yongan was not dead, returned to the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion, immediately summoned Zhang Xun over, and scolded him fiercely. That Zhang Xun was also encouraged by Xu Shaozhen, and he had no brains to summon his subordinates to take revenge on Wang Yongan. When I arrived in the second half of the night, I suddenly remembered that this Wang Yongan was not only Wang Yongtai's younger brother, but also Yuan Shikai's son-in-law, but also Zhang Renjun's relative. So he knew that he was wrong, and he didn't dare to quibble after Zhang Renjun scolded him, but he just lowered his head and made a quail shape, but he hated Xu Shaozhen to death in his heart.
Zhang Xun is very proud, he can bow his head to Zhang Renjun and admit his mistakes, because Zhang Renjun is his Bole, but it is impossible for Zhang Xun to apologize to Wang Yongan. Zhang Renjun knows Zhang Xun's stinky temper very well, so he can only rely on his identity as Wang Yongan's elder to become this peacemaker lobbyist.
Zhang Renjun called Chen Zhaotang and told him to go to Yangzhou to make a good presentation to Wang Yongtai, so as not to cause Zhang Wang and Wang to really fight.
Although Chen Zhaotang is also Zhang Renjun's staff, this person is quite famous, he is the apprentice of the emperor's psychologist Wang Minyun, and he is also Yang Du's senior brother, with the title of Tu Bo. Chen Zhaotang was an official in Sichuan when he was young, and when he was governing the locality, he executed more than 300 thieves at one time, shocking the southwest, and since then he has been infamous as a cool official.
After Cen Chunxuan served as the governor of Liangguang, because he heard that Chen Zhaotang was able to suppress bandits with first-class methods, he asked Chen Zhaotang to accompany him into Guangdong and lead the Wu Kuang army. At that time, there was a famine and drought in Guangxi, and there were many bandits, the big ones slaughtered the city and plundered the wilderness, and the small ones took money and goods, and the people could not bear the suffering. Cen Chunxuan recruited 1,500 children from Guiyang by Chen Zhaotang to form the Liangguangtang character camp. Chen Zhaotang took the lead, braved the arrows and stones to fight hard, and fought more than 70 battles in a few years. After the bandits in Guangxi were cleared, Chen Zhaotang was ordered by Cen Chunxuan to inspect all armies in Guangdong Province, and his career was in full swing. When he was unusually promoted to the prefect of Huizhou and was specifically responsible for the township clean-up operation, Chen Zhaotang issued a notice asking all the gentry and clans to "quickly tie up and punish all the bandits in the clan according to their names, with a view to eradicating them all." The implication is that the Huizhou gentry and merchants will point out the bandits in the clan to achieve the purpose of clearing the township. Within three years, as many as 3,000 thieves and suspected thieves were slaughtered in Huizhou, and these 3,000 people were all young and strong in their twenties.
Soon after Cen Chunxuan served as the Minister of Military Aircraft, he was impeached by Yixuan, and Chen Zhaotang immediately lost his position, but he was appreciated by Zhang Renjun and became his subordinate. Chen Zhaotang and Yuan Zhaofu are Zhang Renjun's right-hand men, the two of them cooperate properly, Yuan Zhaofu is not famous, so Zhang Renjun sent Chen Zhaotang to make peace.
