In fact, there are two overseers in Guangxi, one in Guilin, after all, Guilin is the capital of Guangxi after the Ming and Qing dynasties are the capital of Guangxi, and it is a matter of course where the Overseer's Mansion is located, but Nanning is Lu Rongting's lair, he has been here for far more time than Guilin, so he simply built a magnificent Overseer's Mansion here, and it is ridiculous that Lu Rongting has managed Nanning with 100 times more heart, making it one of the two fortified cities in Guangxi. However, it couldn't stop Shen Hongying's greed, and the 200,000 current ocean let Chang Zhenbang occupy Nanning without spending a single soldier, and then looted it and gave it to Long Jiguang.

As soon as Long Jiguang took over Nanning, he asked Wu Ming to be looted, and after building the Overseer's Mansion in Nanning City more magnificently, he changed Wu Ming to Wu Ming. Lu Rongting heard the news, of course, he didn't do it, it took only three days to take Wuzhou back from the hands of the Ji army, and went straight to Nanning, a big battle between the two armies of Long and Lu, half of Nanning was almost destroyed, and the two armies still did not distinguish the winner or loser, at this time Chang Zhenbang released Chen Jiongming's 8,000 army, and the political situation in Guangxi gradually became chaotic again.

If you want to talk about Long Jiguang, Chen Jiongming's territory army is not more than half of Lu Rongting's, but the combination of these two people makes Lu Rongting feel a little tricky, often attacking Nanning Longjiguang in the east, and Chen Jiongming's attack in the north will be received, and when Chen Jiongming attacks Longzhou in the south, Long Jiguang's army will immediately restore Wuzhou, Yulin and recommend to Liuzhou. If it is attacked from both sides, the Hunan side will take the opportunity to attack again, which really annoys Lu Rongting, but it also roughly divides their respective core spheres of influence, Wuzhou and Nanning are the core areas of Long Jiguang, Liuzhou and Guilin are the centers of Lu Rongting, and only Chen Jiongming is fighting in the southwest and southeast of Guangxi.

As soon as the Dharma Protector Movement arose, Lu Rongting joined the Dharma Protector camp at the first time, Long Jiguang was naturally a Beiyang faction, and both sides received great support, Chen Jiongming's only support was a telegram sent by Sun Monkey that made him feel that he was swallowed by Lu Rongting, Chen Jiongming seemed to be a child that no one wanted, and he only felt that his stomach was full of grievances and unwillingness, so he cooperated with Long Jiguang to Lu Rongting's just captured Wuzhou War.

When Sun Monkey learned of this, he was furious and immediately sent a telegram to denounce Chen Jiongming's betrayal of the revolution and called on the revolutionaries across the country to unite to crusade against the traitors. Lu Rongting immediately asked Tang Jiyao for help, and Tang Jiyao sent Zhang Kairu to lead a division to help Lu Rongting encircle and suppress Chen Jiongming.

Zhang Kairu was yin by Chen Jiongming in Xiangshan County, which led to the loss of Li Liejun's army, food, and grass, and the second road protector army was almost wiped out. After he returned to Yunnan, he was immediately demoted to external training, and finally took advantage of the fact that Cai Yi was poisoned by Sun Monkey, and fought a lot of victories in the end of the warlord melee everywhere, which won Tang Jiyao's trust from the beginning, and returned to the position of brigade commander, and the figure of encircling and suppressing Chen Jiongming naturally fell on his shoulders.

Chen Jiongming and Zhang Kairu looked at each other, they were really enemies, and their eyes were red, after a big battle, there were countless casualties, Chen Jiongming's military talent could not be inefficient The gap in the equipment and quantity of the army was defeated, but in the process of Zhang Kairu's pursuit, he taught him a hard lesson, so that he had to deal with this enemy carefully.

But I don't know why Chen Jiongming and Zhang Kairu are in full swing in Guangxi, and Long Jiguang and Lu Rongting have assistants, hiding on the sidelines and watching.

Zhang Youneng entered the Overseer's Mansion in Nanning City under this strange calm, where the gorgeous decorations far exceeded the patrol envoys of Guangzhou City, no place was not exquisite, no place was not gorgeous, he stepped into here, just like the grandmother Liu who entered the Grand View Garden, looking around and curious.

Long Jiguang proudly looked at Zhang Youneng, who had a dirty face and looked around, and said, "You are Chang Zhenbang's envoy?" ”

Zhang Youneng smiled flatteringly: "What you said is that Zhang Youneng, the cousin of the patrol envoy of Guangdong, Jiangxi and Fujian provinces, and Zhang Youhua, the guard envoy of Jiujiang Town, are my elder brothers......"

Long Jiguang said: "Where is there so much nonsense, tell me what you are doing here from Lao Tzu!" ”

Zhang Youneng said with a smile: "Actually, it's nothing, Zhenbang asked me to come over to see if Lord Long is well, and by the way, ask the adults if there is anything they need help from Guangzhou!" ”

"Guangzhou! Hum! When Long Jiguang heard the word Guangzhou, his proud face suddenly became gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said: "If it weren't for him Chang Zhenbang who took Lao Tzu's Guangzhou and occupied Lao Tzu's Guangdong, why would Lao Tzu have lived with Lu Rongting in Guangxi?" It's a shame that he Chang Zhenbang still has the face to be a good man here with Lao Tzu! ”

Zhang Youneng was so frightened that his legs trembled, and said, "That's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!" ”

"Okay, go back and tell Chang Zhenbang that Lao Tzu wants Guangzhou, will he give it? Hum! If not, don't talk big! "Long Jiguang said.

Long Yuguang on the side stood up and said: "Third brother is angry, mentioning these old things is just to add to the troubles, now since Lord Chang wants to help us, it is also a good thing, I have a list here, please bring it to Lord Chang!" As he spoke, he took out a thick envelope from his sleeve and handed it to Zhang Youneng.

Zhang Youneng took it, his heart sank, just this thickness and weight, he felt that Chang Zhenbang could not agree, but he still put it away and said, "About the dispute in Guangxi......"

Long Yuguang said: "Lu Rongting is a rebellion of the imperial court, the central anti-thief, the crime is not punishable, our crusade is for the people of Guangxi, not for my own selfishness, if Lord Chang can help us recover Guangxi, let him go over the past." ”

"This ......" Zhang Youneng smiled bitterly, Chang Zhenbang asked him to appease Guangxi, but seeing that this way, the Long family didn't want to stop.

Long Jiguang snorted coldly and said, "What is this, this!" If there is nothing else, get out of the way immediately! ”

Zhang Youneng was so frightened that he ran out of Nanning City in one breath, and immediately went north to Liuzhou, now Lu Rongting Chen Bing Liuzhou, looking at Guinan, Zhang Youneng entered Lu Rongting's temporary mansion, but saw that he was practicing boxing and dancing in the courtyard, Zhang Youneng unconsciously shouted hello, and the big men on both sides immediately looked at him coldly, Lu Rongting smiled, put the knife into the sheath, and threw it to the guards on the side, and said: "You are Chang Zhenbang's messenger, tell me the purpose of coming!" Zhang Youneng said with a flattering smile: "My cousin thinks that the dispute in Guangxi is not good, so it is better for you and General Long to find an opportunity to sit down and have a good talk." ”

Lu Rongting smiled and said, "Let's talk? Someone in your family suddenly wants to occupy the magpie's nest, and you don't want to beat him out, but you still want to have a good talk with the other party? There is no such thing in the world. ”

Zhang Youneng smiled flatteringly: "You can't say that, after all, this Guangxi is not your alone!" I think it's still ......."

"Guangxi is my Lu Rongting's home!" Lu Rongting said coldly, casually pulled out the knife from the guard's hand, and slashed at Zhang Youneng's head, the blade flashed, Zhang Youneng sat on the ground as soon as his legs were weak, and the whistling sound flew over his head, falling a few unclear hairs, which frightened him pale, and said, "This ......"

Lu Rongting smiled and said, "With this ability, what about learning from others to be a messenger?" It seems that this Chang Zhenbang is nothing more than that! Get lost! ”

Zhang Youneng was in a hurry for a while, and finally got up from the ground and walked away, causing the guards on both sides to laugh. After he returned to Guangzhou, in the face of Tang Baichuan's news, he really had a handful of snot and tears, and told him how he had fought Lu Rongting and Long Jiguang several times, and finally came to the conclusion that it was not that he Zhang Youneng was incompetent, but that these two people were stubborn and insisted on making trouble.

Tang Baichuan smiled and said, "You have worked hard, go down and have a good rest, and when the adults come, I will definitely ask for credit for you." ”

After Zhang Youneng was overjoyed and thanked Tang Baichuan, he said: "Brother Tang, you see that Zhang Xiaoliu has now been promoted to the commander of the Guards Brigade, and you can see the position of the adjutant general...... Hee-hee. ”

Tang Baichuan smiled faintly and said, "There is already a suitable candidate for this position." ”

"Who?" Zhang Youneng asked nervously: "Impossible!" In terms of qualifications and merits, who is more suitable for this position than me? ”

Tang Baichuan asked and smiled: "Zhao Pan, Clerk Zhao, you are not a stranger to this person, right?" ”

"Zhao Pan?" After Zhang Youneng muttered a few words, he suddenly realized: "It's her!" ”

Zhang Youneng has followed Chang Zhenbang since Chang Zhenbang was still the captain of the Wenxian County Garrison, and naturally knows who Zhao Pan is, and the relationship between her and Chang Zhenbang is also one of the topics among these old people in Wenxian County, and sooner or later she will become Chang Zhenbang's wife and concubine. After all, he has coveted the position of adjutant for a long time, if he comes to do it, he can't say that he will earn money every day, but it is not much worse, just think about the military and political officials in Guangdong, Jiangxi and Fujian provinces, there are a lot of military and political officials, and the money to deal with these people is a trivial matter, I don't know when he will become a party guard, it is said that Zhang Youhua's dog thing is now going to be promoted to the military envoy, just this rumor is enough for him to fight for this position.

It's a pity that Zhao Pan came and easily occupied this position, which made him feel stunned, but he wasn't worried, a position like Zhao Pan was just a transition, and it would be a month or a year and a half to leave, I just hope that after she leaves, this position will be done by herself.

Tang Baichuan said: "My lord meant to let Zhao Pan be the adjutant general, so I transferred Zhang Xiaoliu to the Guards Brigade." But don't worry, the adults have clear rewards and punishments, and they will definitely not treat you badly. ”

Zhang Youneng smiled and said, "I know, then Brother Tang, you are busy first, and the younger brother will go down to do something." ”

After Tang Baichuan waited for him to leave, he sneered: "Zhida is talented, lust for profit, messing things up, and bragging about being in charge of officials, he is really a complete idiot, but I have to thank him well, it's really hard to do this thing in Guangxi without him." I just don't know how the seventh brother is doing in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. ”

Chang Zhenbang couldn't help but sneeze in the Nanjing Overseer's Mansion, and the beautiful maids on both sides were very attentive to warm up, Chang Zhenbang said with a smile: "I don't know who thinks of me so much, so that I can feel this strong longing in Nanjing." ”

A waiting maid said with a smile: "My lord has the ability, I have done the patrol of men in Guangdong, Jiangxi and Fujian provinces during the day, and I will do the patrol of women in Guangdong, Jiangxi and Fujian provinces at night, hehe." Another maid flattered: "Adults are so young and so handsome, people can't forget when they see them, I don't know how many spring girls have been harmed, and adults can't be indecent." ”

Chang Zhenbang looked at her smile like a flower, and couldn't help but tease: "My lord is very careful, but I don't know if I have entered your dream and the tear-wet pillow towel!" ”

The maid was teased by him, couldn't help blushing, and said with a smile: "The adult is joking with the little girl like this, why do you still say that you check yourself?" ”

Chang Zhenbang said with a smile: "The inspection is my business, the tear-wet pillow towel is your business, the adults are just asking with concern, how can it involve my indiscretion?" The girl's face suddenly turned redder than before, and the red apple of the morning was still a pomegranate at noon.

"My lord, you hate it the most." As she spoke, the maid lowered her head and hurriedly went down. Who knew that she was too flustered, and bumped into Li He head-on, Li He glanced at her, and said solemnly: "What are you panicking, this is the Overseer's Mansion!" As Li Chun gradually pushed the work of the Overseer on him, the majestic aura that he had deliberately cultivated in him gradually became thicker, and the frightened maid hurriedly knelt on the ground and pleaded.

Chang Zhenbang walked over and said, "Brother Li He, it's my brother's fault, it has nothing to do with her, and I ask Brother Li He not to punish her in front of my younger brother." Li He glanced at the maid and said, "Master Chang will help you speak, I will spare you this time, go down to work!" The maid went away with great gratitude.

After the guests and hosts sat down, Li He said: "Brother Chang came to Jiangsu this time to visit his uncle, and my brother is very grateful. If there is any inconsiderate hospitality, I hope Brother Chang will forgive me! ”

Chang Zhenbang said with a smile: "Jinling Imperial City, Qinhuai is romantic, and the brothers are happy to eat and drink here." How dare you say you're not satisfied? ”

Li He smiled faintly and said: "It's good to be satisfied, you and I are not outsiders, Brother Chang came to my Jiangsu just to enjoy the mountains and rivers." ”

Chang Zhenbang said with a smile: "Brother, you are wrong, this Nanjing is not as good as other places, the reputation and scenery are outstanding, Zhenbang is a scholar, so he naturally has to make a special trip to the mountains and rivers, of course, it is much smaller than visiting Uncle Li's body." ”

"Uncle Li Hedai has thanked Master Chang. However, Li He thinks that Chang Daren should have other things to do when he comes to my Jiangsu! ”

Chang Zhenbang grinned and said: "Of course, there are some small things I want to ask Uncle Li's opinion, but because this matter is too small, so I don't have to worry, you also know that Premier Duan is now fighting happily in Hunan, but the president wants to negotiate peace with the southwest, so he asked his brother to come and ask Uncle Li's opinion." Such a trivial matter is a matter of one sentence, it is not important at all, how can it be compared to visiting the mountains and rivers, enjoying flowers and listening to music? ”

"Brother Chang is high, but this little thing was done early, and the fun is not happy, isn't it?"

Li He looked at what he said casually, although his face was very serious, but he couldn't help but smile in his heart, the war in Hunan is in full swing, and it is still the biggest thing in China today, Jiangxi is even more bordering Hunan, and if you don't pay attention to this war, it will burn to Jiangxi, of course, the people in the southwest are not necessarily willing to fight Chang Zhenbang to the death, but the two masters above are hoping that Chang Zhenbang will get involved, let him fight with Tang Jiyao to the death, or be a fisherman of the Beiyang faction to profit, if Jiangxi is still in Li Chun's hands, Li He has long been anxious to pay attention to the news of the war, where has Chang Zhenbang been handed to Nanjing for five or six days, either wandering on the Qinhuai River to listen to music, or asking a few officers to travel the mountains and rivers, and the big money has also made Chang Zhenbang's popularity naturally a lot better, at least he really let some middle and senior generals in Beiyang treat him as their own.

Chang Zhenbang said with a smile: "Actually, Zhenbang still understands this truth, but I don't know what my uncle thinks about these rebellions in the southwest!" ”

Li He thought for a while and said: "Jiangxi is now guarded by Li Tingyu and Uncle Li, those people who have him in the southwest do not dare to act rashly, I think the enemy in the southwest is nothing more than that, as long as we work together in Beiyang to hunt down and kill the past, there is no problem that cannot be solved." ”

Chang Zhenbang poked his head over and asked, "Is this what uncle meant?" ”

Li He said mysteriously: "This is my opinion. ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "We are all from the president's side!" ”

Li He said: "In Beiyang, we are all the president's people, and in terms of the country, we are all rebellious and opposed to the southwest. ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "What does the president's view of peace mean, what does Brother Li He mean?" ”

Li He said: "It doesn't matter what I mean, what my uncle means is that no matter whether it is war or peace, the two provinces of Sichuan and Hunan cannot let those people in the southwest succeed." ”

Chang Zhenbang thought deeply and said: "This is also Zhenbang's idea, but how does the uncle on the president's side want to reply." ”

Li He thought for a while and said: "Uncle is the old brother of the president, of course, the president is the leader, but we still have to be cautious in discussing peace, after all, Premier Duan's crusade order is unquestionable in the world." The most important people in this should know better than me. ”

Chang Zhenbang said: The errand assigned by the president made the brother really embarrassed, since this is what the uncle meant, the brother had to go to explore Chen Guangyuan's tone first, and then the uncle could follow closely at that time, and it would not lose his steady move. ”

Li He said: "The main battle is the main peace, Jiangsu will not come out, but it will not lag behind, please rest assured by the president." ”

Soon, Chang Zhenbang took the time to meet Li Chun, the two met happily and awkwardly, and after a short meeting, Chang Zhenbang went to Zhejiang.
