As soon as Li Tingyu entered the big tent, his face immediately sank, and he scolded loudly: "Meng Zhaoyue, you are guilty!" Two soldiers of the rebel army immediately went over and tied him up. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Meng Zhaoyue was taken aback and said: "The subordinates are loyal to Li Chun, Lord Li Supervisor, this heart does not change, why did the Lord say this?" Li Tingyu said: "The general led the army to go on the expedition, the highest class to protect the family and defend the country, the second class to expand the territory, once again to report the strength of the whole army, once again although defeated, once again to die on the battlefield horse leather shroud, again defeated to the enemy, to protect the comrades, the last time to sell the country for glory, smile and be generous." Patrol envoy, the Overseer has entrusted you with the chief of staff of the Beiyang Second Division, which is equivalent to entrusting the lifeblood of Hubei in your hands, and in the face of the support of the adults, what do you have to do? ”

Meng Zhaoyue was ashamed, and said: "I can't protect all the people of the Second Beiyang Division for my lord, and I am guilty of my humble duty!" Willing to accept the severe punishment of adults. ”

Li Tingyu stared coldly at Meng Zhaoyue's face for a long time, and saw that his guilt was overflowing and he didn't have any unwilling expression, so he sighed slowly, stretched out his hand and gently stroked his injured part and said: "This officer also knows your grievances, and also knows your hardships, you, the chief of staff, have just arrived, and now with the support of Wang Jinjing and other officers, it is not bad to be able to save so many brothers, not to mention that you are already injured by adults, and no one will blame you if you don't get involved, But since you agreed to the official's plan and didn't do it well, that's another matter. ”

Meng Zhaoyue said: "I am very ashamed of my humble position, I have failed the hopes of adults, I am really ashamed!" ”

"You're at fault, and the rest is your official's fault!" Li Tingyu said: "It's difficult for this official to be strong, and he underestimates the prestige and strength of the other party, so this official won't deal with you well, so he has to remove you from all military positions in the Beiyang Second Division, are you willing to accept this kind of punishment." ”

Meng Zhaoyue said: "I am ashamed of my humble position, and I am willing to accept the severe punishment of adults!" ”

Li Tingyu smiled faintly and said, "Thank you for your hard work, this official is not such an unkind person, after saying so many bad things, it is time to say a few good words to you." This overseer has decided to cancel the establishment of the Beiyang Second Division, and all personnel will be reorganized into the Second Division of the Southeast Army from now on, the division commander Li Chun Li will supervise the army, and you, Meng Zhaoyue, will still be the acting chief of staff and the commander of the engineer brigade! Hopefully, you'll be able to lead this army back down the path of the Iron Army. ”

Meng Zhaoyue was only a little surprised when he heard this, Hubei fell into the hands of Chang Zhenbang, and in his opinion, it was a foregone conclusion, how could the expected things be considered surprised? What surprised him was that Chang Zhenbang had canceled the establishment of various provinces and reorganized the divisions in the name of the southeast, which was not troublesome, but it was a bit of a disapproval of the world, although the world's overseers fought for their own battles, but there were no such blatant people, but after success, the southeastern provinces were afraid that they only recognized Chang Zhenbang and did not know that there was a central government. It's also a book of profits.

"Why is Master Meng so surprised? Lord Li Chun is Chang Zhenbang's person, and it is something that everyone in the world knows, so it should be the first time that Lord Meng has heard of it. Li Tingyu said disapprehantly.

Meng Zhaoyue said: "Honor is the second life of a soldier, the Beiyang Second Division is the best treatment in the Hubei Army, never arrears military salaries, and has the reputation of a hundred battles of the Iron Army. I'm afraid it's the morale of the army ......"

Li Tingyu thought that he knew that he would say this, so he slightly interrupted what he was about to say, and just said lightly: "The Iron Army has always been beaten, and Beiyang was just a new army at the beginning, and it was despised by everyone, but Emperor Hongxian went from being despised to being important step by step!" Even to the point where we have reached the point of being the first soldier in the world, what Emperor Hongxian can do, we can also do! ”

"I'm stupid, please forgive me!" Meng Zhaoyue didn't expect Chang Zhenbang to have the idea of being the second Yuan Shikai, and then thought about it, men should be self-reliant, what better choice is there than to be the king and hegemon? Now that Chang Zhenbang controls the southeast, the rise is inevitable, and if he can take advantage of the situation, it will not be a good thing. As for the banner of the Beiyang Second Division, when Lu Xiangting took those people away, he knew that he couldn't keep it, and those who were taken away by Lu Xiangting, no matter how many, as long as it reached Sun Chuanfang and Wang Zhanyuan, the banner of the Beiyang Second Division would return to them, but the degenerated Beiyang Second Division was nothing, after all, fighting this kind of thing is the most uncheating thing in the world.

Li Tingyu smiled faintly and said: "The most important comrade in the rebel army, the patrol envoy is not a mean and unkind person, as long as you can make materials, why is it difficult to become an overseer?" What's more, Lord Meng, you are a talent valued by the Patrol Envoy and the Hubei Overseer, and your future is limitless! ”

Meng Zhaoyue was overjoyed when she heard this, and swore to the sky again and again, as long as Chang Zhenbang lived up to him, he would definitely repay the kindness of Changzhen, Li Tingyu talked and laughed with him a few more words, and the two of them began to reorganize the remaining men and horses of the Beiyang Second Division, and the two of them agreed that the officers fell into the hands of Sun Chuanfang, and in order to reorganize into a powerful iron army, they could only rebuild the organizational framework with the existing officers of the brigade brought by Zhao Laosi, as for the name of the second division in the southeast, it is not easy to play now, Only after the central Duan Qirui issued the approval can it be officially listed, and now the sign that Chang Zhenbang gave him is the name of the second division of the patrol guards.

The Guards Division, equivalent to Chang Zhenbang's Imperial Forest Army, those soldiers of the Second Beiyang Division heard the news, and felt extremely sorry that they could not keep the name of the Second Beiyang Division, and the biggest reaction to this was those officers, after all, the honor of the soldiers was just a little more money and food, and the Imperial Forest Army of Chang Zhenbang was treated better than the original, and the division accepted it in a grand manner. The honor of the officers is the future of the future, serving in the prestigious team, especially the iron army like the Beiyang Second Division, transferred to other armies, plus a little means, it is not a problem for the junior officers to be promoted to three levels in a row, which is why the Beiyang Army has been able to expand rapidly in recent years, but the decline in combat effectiveness is very limited.

After reorganizing the remaining Beiyang Second Division, Li Tingyu asked Zhao Laosi to send someone to Chang Zhenbang to inform him, and immediately took the Second Division of the Guards to Wuchang, after all, there are many dreams at night, and Lu Xiangting can take away the second division of one of the three, if this Sun Chuanfang misses, the remaining people don't know how much they can keep? It's better to go back to Wuchang as soon as possible.

Although Zhao Laosi was extremely dissatisfied with the change of the troops he brought with him and the remaining second division after disrupting them without authorization, after all, he thought that such a big matter should be told to Chang Zhenbang in advance, but Li Tingyu was the overseer of Jiangxi, and Chang Zhenbang was considered to be a full-time person in charge of this matter, and he was not able to intervene, as for the resolution to transfer the reorganized army back to Wuchang without authorization, it was even more rebellious in his opinion, so he didn't need Li Tingyu's orders, he would do the same, Li Tingyu asked him to send people, He simply went by himself, not only to tell Chang Zhenbang everything here as it was, but also to get rid of the current embarrassing scene, which can be regarded as out of sight and out of mind.

After Chang Zhenbang received Zhao Laosi's return, he did not jump as violently as Zhao Laosi thought, but said very calmly: "Brother Li has done a very good job, I am very pleased, come here, go to Wuchang immediately, just say that after the second division of the guard returns to Wuchang, Jiangxi overseer Li Tingyu has completed the task of escorting Li Chun to take over as the overseer of Hubei, and wants his sixth division to return to Nanchang from Jiujiang to deter Zhang Jingyao, who is about to move in Hunan." At the same time, he called Li Chun and asked him to transfer troops south to the junction of the two lakes, and even make a gesture of going south to Hunan to force Zhang Jingyao to stick to Hunan! ”

"Yes, my lord, I will arrange it!" When the adjutant in charge of communications heard the order, he immediately went to carry it out. Zhao Laosi saw that Chang Zhenbang made arrangements to transfer Li Tingyu back to Jiangxi, and left happily, Zhao Laosi was rude and lacked scheming, and he was very arrogant in the past, and he was also loyal to Chang Zhenbang, and he didn't have any bad intentions towards others, so Chang Zhenbang trusted and cared for him very much, he may not be able to lead troops to fight, but the patrol guards were not new, so Chang Zhenbang kept him by his side, as his own guard, step by step from the guard regiment to the guard brigade to the guard division, not inferior to those generals from military schools. Zhao Laosi also thanked Chang Zhenbang for his kindness, and rescued Chang Zhenbang from the battlefield with the guards several times, and acted as Chang Zhenbang's pawn and striker in the battle of Xiamen with Xu Chongzhi in Xiamen, and did not hesitate to support Chang Zhenbang, even if he risked being annihilated, he did not hesitate. Therefore, whether his words are useful or useless, Chang Zhenbang will always reply one or two regardless of whether he is busy or not, in order not to chill this person's heart.

Not long after Zhao Laosi went out, Zhang Youneng happily escorted four or five people who looked like officers to Chang Zhenbang.

"Cousin, it's not that the brother is incompetent, it's really that Sun Chuanfang is cunning enough, the brother has rummaged through the entire Xianning City, and he hasn't found him, but several of his henchmen and brothers have still been caught, and now they will be escorted to the cousin and asked the eldest brother to interrogate!" Zhang Youneng is always full of talent in this regard, he not only showed his own merits this time, but also gave up the opportunity to torture Sun Chuanfang to Chang Zhenbang, meeting the requirements of his boss to show off, which is really killing multiple birds with one stone.

"Youneng did a good job, where did you catch them?" Chang Zhenbang said with a smile.

Zhang Youneng smiled flatteringly: "These rabbit cubs are bold, after escaping from the county government, instead of rushing to flee for their lives, they went to that kind of indiscriminate place, isn't this looking for death?" ”

Chang Zhenbang frowned and said, "Qinlou Chu Pavilion? ”

"Who's to say it's not? And it's the lowest kind of kiln that can cool three times for a dime. ”

"Three dimes?" Chang Zhenbang was taken aback, he didn't know these officers, but the bar on his shoulder did. Among these people, there are regiment commanders, battalion commanders, and even brigade commanders let Zhang You catch one, although he is only an engineer brigade commander, but the salary is a lot, even if a guy like them wants to solve physical problems, he will not lower his price to go to that kind of place. It's not that Chang Zhenbang looks down on those women, in a society like China that talks about everything, but anyone who can support himself and his family will not degenerate to that point, but people have a way, shrimp have a shrimp road, it is free to let these people be chic, and these people will not go!

"What a self-depravity! As long as my cousin gives an order, let's take good care of these cheap bones, I don't believe that I can't pry open these people's mouths! Zhang Youneng said eagerly.

Chang Zhenbang frowned slightly and pondered for a moment, then said, "Are you sure that these officers were present at that time?" ”

Zhang Youneng said with a smile: "Of course it can be determined, if there are other officers, the junior brother will arrest them early in the morning and dedicate them to the elder brother." "It's a pity in the words.

"I told you to go to the barracks to search, what is the result of the search?" Chang Zhenbang said suddenly.

Zhang Youneng smiled, scratched his head, and said: "The matter that my cousin said, the younger brother really went to do it, but when the younger brother passed, the entire military camp was already empty, the second division was transferred out of Xianning City by Lord Meng, and the sixth division was on vacation for three days, even if Sun Chuanfang wanted to incite the sixth division, he couldn't do it." My cousin can rest assured, but since these rebel officers have been escorted to my cousin, why does my cousin only care about asking my brother and me, and not asking these rebels and thieves? ”

Woe Shuidong introduced this trick, but unfortunately Chang Zhenbang didn't take his way, but just asked these officers a few words in a low voice, and after confirming that they were arrested was indeed what Zhang Youneng said, Chang Zhenbang waved his hand and said: "Officers, the game is over, you are free." ”

The officers who were captured were taken aback, but they didn't expect that after they were arrested, since they didn't ask anything, they let them go, which was very different from their common sense, and even doubted Chang Zhenbang's intentions, thinking that he was just fishing, this kind of thinking is not only the majority of these officers, but Zhang Youneng also thinks so, if you don't think so, what else can you think.

Chang Zhenbang smiled slightly, like Mu Chunfeng said: "You don't have to be afraid that I will send someone to follow you out, this is just a cat and mouse game between us, if the official wants to kill Sun Chuanfang, there is a way, and he will not be allowed to live until now, now the cat and mouse game is over, the command of the second division of Beiyang has been obtained by this official, Sun Chuanfang is a genius of the sky, in this game he has already lost, since he lost, the official will not be too embarrassed for him, after all, everyone belongs to the same vein of Beiyang, one is prosperous, one is lost, Li Chun and Li supervised the army in Hubei, and still relied on General Sun to serve the country? Okay, you can go with confidence! I will not send a single soldier to follow you. ”

After hearing this, these officers nodded their heads again and again, but no one can know whether they believe it or not!

Sent these people away, Chang Zhenbang really didn't let Zhang Youneng follow him anymore, although Zhang Youneng had a lot of doubts and incomprehension in his heart, but he was a smart person, knowing that Chang Zhenbang didn't let him do it, there was a reason not to let him do it, and he never did unflattering things.

"Youneng!" Chang Zhenbang Road.

"Cousin, brother is here!" Zhang Youneng said.

Chang Zhenbang said: "You did a good job this time. Those who came out of Wenxian County with this official are now either guarding one side or being a military and political officer, and you are the brother of this official, but now you are still a lieutenant colonel adjutant, I really wronged you. ”

Zhang Youneng said flatteringly: "Don't be wronged for your cousin!" As long as I can deal with my cousin, my brother is willing to be a cow and a horse, after all, we are connected by blood, and we will be both prosperous and lossy! ”

Chang Zhenbang was very satisfied with his answer, and couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder, and said: "Youneng, you can understand the truth in this, I am very pleased, I wanted to send you out to be a brigade commander and exercise, but when I thought that there were still many things that I needed you to do, I wanted to keep you, and my brother didn't know how to open his mouth to you?" Hehe, since you say so, it's okay, you can stay with your brother, of course your brother will not treat you badly, from now on you will be promoted to colonel adjutant, and all work will continue as usual! ”

Zhang Youneng was excited about the wealth, beauty, and status that was about to be transferred out and poured out like a spring, and when he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, he didn't expect Chang Zhenbang to come back like this, stay by his side, although he can extort a little bit of money, but you must know that there is also Zhao Pan, the adjutant who stayed in Guangdong, this Zhao Pan is also an old man in Wenxian County, although he doesn't know how to suddenly come out of Chang Zhenbang's side, and he has never been close to him, but women, especially women with good looks and intellectuality, But killing quickly can also make the man take the initiative to put his neck on the knife. understands more that even if he tries his best, he will not be able to shake Zhao Pan's position as adjutant general, and no one can replace Zhao Pan's position, because what she hopes is not to be promoted and make a fortune, but to stay by Chang Zhenbang's side. Facing an opponent who can't be shaken at all, Zhang Youneng really wants to cry without tears.

After a short rest, Chang Zhenbang returned to Wuchang with the guard division, as soon as he left on the front foot, Sun Chuanfang came out with great fanfare, and the soldiers of the first division of Hubei began to return to the barracks one after another, Lu Xiangting also led the remnants to return to Xianning, because the officer corps of the second division of Beiyang is still there, as long as the elite soldiers are selected from the first division of Hubei can re-raise the banner of the second division of Beiyang, as for the second division of Hubei with fewer soldiers, it can be recruited from the new one, as for the combat power, Only if he Sun Chuanfang is still alive, he will definitely be able to train another iron army, and suddenly, a soldier ran to deliver a letter to Sun Chuanfang, and Sun Chuanfang was surprised when he saw the cover.
