Chapter 180: A Thousand Dollars Buy Horse Bones
Walking on the stone road of the school grounds, the breeze blows through the face, and there is some coolness. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Thunder sounded in the distance in the sky, Wang Yongan's footsteps stopped, raised his head and looked at the starry sky and the distance, knowing that it was raining again in the south. This damn rainy season is coming to an end Wang Yongan took a sharp breath, feeling the oxygen in the air, and had to admit that the freshness of the air at this time simply made future generations crazy with jealousy.
After a long time, he laughed and said to himself: "I almost let Huang Bo tell me that I was tempted, if I cooperate with him, what will my second brother do?" He shook his head, in fact, the most difficult problem for him to deal with now is how to face Wang Yongtai, and how and in what capacity will the two brothers who have become enemies meet each other.
"Report!" The bodyguard Zhang Xi ran over and saluted.
"What's the matter?"
"That...... Huang Tao wants to smoke a lot. Zhang Xi also felt funny, and the corners of his mouth curved, "He knelt on the ground and kowtowed and made waves, snot and tears were a lot of ......"
"Smoke a lot?" Wang Yongan was surprised, "After so many days, he only thought about smoking a lot?" Still addicted to smoking? He's a bit late to the big smoker. ”
Zhang Xi said: "We were also very strange, and after we searched his body, we found out that he had the habit of carrying a big cigarette paste with him." When we captured him, we only searched for his weapons, and he didn't take anything else. In the past few days, he has used his own big tobacco paste to stand it, and now that the big tobacco paste has been eaten, he can't stand the big smoking addiction. ”
Although Huang Bo and Huang Tao are two brothers, the difference is indeed too big, one is shrewd and kind-hearted, and the other is a lascivious and timid smoker, how did their parents give birth to this pair of wonders. Wang Yongan shook his head and said: "There is a rule in the Beiyang New Army that people who smoke big cigarettes cannot be soldiers and cannot enter the army. ”
Zhang Xi smiled and asked, "What should I do then?" ”
Wang Yongan didn't care about this Huang Tao, and sent it away casually: "You let him pay for it himself, if he doesn't have money, he will appoint it, but he really wants to buy it, you don't let him buy some for him, this person's mud can't support the wall, but it's useful to keep it." He thought of a funny way to rectify the person, and said, "What about you, you can sell it to him for three times the price, who will let him eat big cigarettes by himself." ”
"Yes." Zhang Xi was very happy, so that he could make a small profit.
Then Wang Yongan came to Xi Wusheng's prison cell, lit the lamp, and looked at the silent man who was leaning against the wall, and didn't know what to say for a while. Xi Wusheng led the troops back to the camp privately, whether it was a death sentence in terms of national law or military regulations, and he betrayed Wang Yongtai, who trusted him the most. So now that Xi Wusheng, who is completely defeated and embarrassed, he only wants to die, and he doesn't talk nonsense, and asks: "Fourth son, for the sake of the past face, prepare wine and meat for me, and give me a knife while I drink too much, and find a quick way to avoid sin." ”
Wang Yongan shook his head lightly and said with a smile: "Brother Xi, I have 8,000 US dollars here, which is equivalent to 10,000 taels of silver, after you take it, go to the Jinmen Concession to live incognito." ”
Xi Wusheng raised his head and was taken aback, and asked, "Don't you kill me?" ”
"Do you want me to kill you?" Wang Yongan said with a smile.
Xi Wusheng was dumbfounded, and suddenly said angrily: "Why bother with me, the general of the defeated army, to kill or chop it, Xi is silent." ”
Wang Yongan hurriedly smiled and persuaded: "Brother Xi, I'm not joking, you and I are all for the same thing, but there is no personal hatred between us." Now I got it, you didn't, that's all. ”
Xi Wusheng looked at his opponent coldly, refused to believe it, and said, "Fourth Young Master, it's not that simple, tell the truth, why let me go." ”
"Alas......" sighed, Wang Yongan had to tell the truth, and said: "Let's put it this way, if I kill you, the second standard of infantry will definitely hate me, if I let you go, the second standard of the army will belong to me." 10,000 taels of silver to buy a bid for loyalty, what do you think? ”
"A thousand dollars to buy horse bones?" Xi Wusheng said.
Wang Yongan nodded.
Xi Wusheng had to admit the other party's insidious cunning, he stretched out his thumb and said, "As you wish, I will disappear forever in front of the Fourth Young Master after tomorrow." I also asked the fourth young master to prepare wine and food, and called several battalion commanders and henchmen of the second target, and I told them. ”
"There's General Lao Xi." Wang Yongan smiled and arched his hand, turned and retreated.
Xi Wusheng had to accept Wang Yongan's conditions, for himself, and for the future and fate of his old brothers. If he doesn't accept the conditions, his brothers will inevitably be liquidated by the suspicious Wang Yongan in the future. Xi Wusheng was full of fear of Wang Yongan's methods, and at the same time, he knew that he would survive, and he did not have the face to face Wang Yongtai's return.
Abandoning his comrades-in-arms, betraying his friends, and being able to live incognito, Xi Wusheng has no choice.
Lying on the bed, Wang Yongan tossed and turned for a while, today everything went smoothly according to plan, no one died, no one was injured, when the twelve heavy machine guns were pointed at the left army, everyone understood that resistance meant death, so they were successfully surrendered.
Everything went too smoothly, but Wang Yongxin vaguely felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart, and this uneasiness came from the news brought to him by Huang Bo.
First, Yuan Shikai's subordinates have begun to form gangs, and the direct line and the Anhui line have gradually taken shape.
Second, Zaifeng regained the military power of the Beiyang New Army by bribing the officers who stayed in Japan, which has to be said to be a big failure, most of the officers in Japan sympathized with the revolutionary party, and Zaifeng could only lose his wife and soldiers in this move, and became a mortal enemy with the Beiyang system.
Third, in order to suppress Yuan Shikai's Beiyang system, Zaifeng made a bloody investment, he knew that he was Yuan Shikai's son-in-law, and he would not be bought, so he won over Wang Yongtai.
Fourth, the small Yangzhou has become a place for the imperial court, the Beiyang system and the Wang brothers to compete for hegemony, perhaps this small change is a rehearsal for the future imperial court.
Fifth, Duan Qirui's attack on himself is only the first step, and there will be more people who attack him next, including not only enemies, but also his own people.
Wang Yongan patted his forehead, hoping to smooth out the relationship, and at the same time he reconsidered Huang Bo's suggestion. Cooperating with Huang Bo means being recruited by the imperial court, and it also means a complete break with the second brother, and what he can get is the command of the 10,000 troops in the eleventh town. However, after Wang Yongan examined himself, he found that he actually did not know how to command the army, he could only train the army, or because he had been in contact with the army for a long time, and the knowledge he learned from his original world was pieced together, but he was not as good as Wang Yongtai in the real march and war.
"Damn, I don't know how to fight." Wang Yongan smiled bitterly for a long time.
Not every traverser is proficient in everything, and for a small white-collar traverser, it is better to let him fight than to let him be a staff officer and come up with ideas. Obviously, Wang Yongan is not an all-round genius, what he relies on is just cleverness.
"Should I go to a military school and be gilded?" He asked himself, but then gave up on the idea. What is the use of gilding if you can't learn the real skills, the gold-rimmed urinal is still a urinal, and only urine can be poured out of it, not wine.
Forget it, don't hurt others and deceive yourself, you can't fight if you can't fight, Jiang Guangtou can't fight, he commands like, but it doesn't prevent him from becoming a leader, why can't he himself? (To be continued.) )
