Wang Tianpei's plan was very simple, it was nothing more than to sow discord, take advantage of the bandits' eagerness to whitewash their orthodox psychology, and let the White Turban Army clash with the Xun Army, and when they were both defeated, the Anhui Provincial Revolutionary Party would benefit from it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 At the same time, the Anhui Provincial Revolutionary Party continued to agitate for the revolutionaries in the New Army to further control the army, overthrow Xu Dahong's leadership, seize command, and force Zhu Jiabao to take sides.

The southbound White Turban Army took a temporary rest after arriving in Tongcheng, and due to the corruption of military discipline along the way, Gao Dazhuang was also reprimanded by Wang Yongan, asking him not to harm the people of Anhui Province, so as to avoid being unable to wash his name in the future. Wang Yongan's mind is good, he is thinking about the future of Gao Dazhuang, but Gao Dazhuang doesn't see it that way, especially after receiving Wang Yongan's reprimand telegram, which makes Gao Dazhuang's dissatisfaction with Wang Yongan gradually rise in his heart.

If it is said that two years ago, Gao Dazhuang obeyed him because of his respect for Wang Yongan, but in the nearly eight months that Wang Yongan left the Qing Dynasty and went to South America, as he gradually became the largest bandit leader in northern Anhui and even Jiangbei, Gao Dazhuang's mentality has undergone a very huge change, his desire for power has become stronger and stronger, he has more and more his own ideas, and his ambitions have become bigger and bigger.

Gao Dazhuang is no longer satisfied with just a black knife of Wang Yongan, he wants to become the real king of northern Anhui, and even the lord of Anhui Province.

But Gao Dazhuang also understood that everything he had to be strongly supported by the Wang brothers' financial and material resources, so on the one hand, he asked the Wang brothers for money, weapons and ammunition, and on the other hand, he cultivated his own talents. Gao Dazhuang selected eight loyal subordinates from the bandits, and was named the Eight King Kongs by him, and the Eight King Kongs led their eight teams respectively, and secretly set up the personnel arranged by Wang Yongan in the White Turban Army, Gao Dazhuang gradually expanded the scale of his lineage, and Wang Yongan's secret control gradually weakened.

After the development of tall and strong, the scale of the White Turban Army has now reached more than 15,000 people, of which the core force of the descendant army has also reached 5,000 people, and the other more than 10,000 people are bandits who are attached to the army and are ready to wash their identities. These bandits are not limited to Anhui Province, but also Hubei and Shandong, Henan and Jiangsu, and other places. Of course, the long-term fear of Wang Yongan, the little Zhuge of Yangzhou, still makes Gao Dazhuang taboo and dare not show his scheming at will.

After Wang Yongan asked him to rectify military discipline, Gao Dazhuang hurriedly asked the army to be reorganized and trained, and stopped at Tongcheng, which is 80 kilometers away from Anqing, to rectify the military style.

At this time, the arrival of a person immediately made Gao Dazhuang ecstatic, this person was Sakanishi Rihachiro who had been rejected by Wang Yongan, he actually came to Tongcheng, the temporary base camp of the White Turban Army, through various relationships, and brought five cars of mysterious gifts.

"Gao Sang, please look, are you still satisfied with these gifts?" Rihachiro Sakanishi said with a smile.

The tall and strong let his subordinates lift the canvas, revealing the true face of the car, which is actually a five-car rifle, the Japanese 30-type rifle, commonly known as the golden hook rifle, which is the prototype of the 38-type rifle, and made great achievements in the Russo-Japanese War. However, the biggest disadvantage of the Type 30 rifle was that when it was used in northern China, it was easy to get sand into the chamber and cause jamming, and then the Type 38 rifle with a dust cap was developed after modification by the Japanese. However, the Type 30 rifle is just not adapted to the weather in northern China, and in the Jiangnan region or in the southern region where the wind and sand are less, the Type 30 rifle is not outdated.

Gao Dazhuang was pleased not with the thousand rifles sent by Rihachiro Sakanishi, but with the attitude of the Japanese, who found their own cooperation, which fully shows that his role has been appreciated by the Japanese, and the Japanese regard him as an important object of cooperation.

"Mr. Banxi, I'm just a bandit, how can He De get the support of the Japanese Empire." Gao Dazhuang sighed with emotion, the upright little officer who could assassinate his commander for his comrades in the past has gradually become a cunning bandit leader, and they all say that human nature is the most unpredictable, but in fact, greed makes human nature difficult to estimate. If he weren't in his current position, he wouldn't have had such great ambitions, and he wouldn't have seen the Japanese so ecstatic.

Sakanishi Rihachiro laughed and said: "Gao Sang can't help but underestimate himself, you don't know your importance yet, even Yuan Shikai has to win you over." His accent had a slight accent from northern Henan, and the tall and strong man of the same province felt very cordial after listening to it, and Sakanishi Rihachiro continued: "Now that the Southern Revolutionary Party has gathered under the city of Nanjing, the capture of Nanjing by the Revolutionary Party is just around the corner, and the surrender of the Yangtze River Fleet to the Southern Revolutionary Government is tantamount to letting Yuan Shikai cut off his arm to pacify the south. Now Yuan Shikai has no choice but to make peace with the revolutionary government in the south, but Anhui Province is between the north and the south, and it will inevitably become an important chess piece in the future of China. And Gao Sang, you will be an important figure in China. ”

"No, no, no, there is also Wang Yan and Wang Zhuge who are the two kings of Yangzhou, where can I get my turn." Gao Dazhuang hurriedly said modestly.

Rihachiro Sakanishi laughed and said, "Gao Sang, don't you hear a gun shoot a bird?" This Wang brother is already extremely dangerous, they are between the north and the south, but they want to maintain local independence, not only the north and the south are not allowed to him, how can the forces of various countries tolerate them? ”

Gao Dazhuang hurriedly asked, "Oh? Mr. Banxi, do you mean that nowadays, both the north and the south and foreigners look at the Wang brothers unpleasantly? ”

Sakanishi Rihachiro sneered: "It's very unpleasant, let's talk about Yuan Shikai's northern forces first, the Wang brothers were originally attached to Yuan Shikai, but they have always been marginal figures in the Beiyang system, but now they are the kings of Jiangbei, and suddenly they have become the bigwigs of the Beiyang system, and even Wang Yongan has become Yuan Shikai's chief of staff, just like you follow Wang Yongan, and suddenly one day there is a kid with a golden rice bowl who became Wang Yongan's right-hand man overnight, and you, a hero who sacrificed life and death to fight the world for him, became estranged, Would you like to? ”

Gao Dazhuang shook his head, why should others enjoy his suffering. Gao Dazhuang looked at Sakanishi Rihachiro, who was extremely admired for his understanding of China, understanding the forces of all parties, and his strong analytical ability, so it was not unreasonable to say that the Japanese could dominate Asia, he sat down, and also let Sakanishi Rihachiro sit down, and asked for advice in vain: "According to you, now the Wang brothers are the nasty ghosts." ”

"Hahaha...... Sakanishi Rihachiro laughed, "nasty ghost...... This word is used very well, Gao Sang impresses me, it is very accurate, the Wang brothers are that nasty ghost! ”
