10871908 Far East Maniac Chapter 376 The situation is weird

Tulu Jianzhang seems that everyone can be bought with benefits. And Shifan, the entire Beiyang Group was also established in this way, and the loyalty of subordinates to their superiors was also established on the co-prosperity of the interests of the villain and the interests of the group.

If it weren't for Yuan Shikai doing everything possible to exonerate him, then Liu Guanxiong would not have become the commander of the current cruiser, for Liu Guanxiong, this matter is not only a matter of interests, but also a life-saving grace, so Liu Guanxiong is loyal to Yuan Shikai.

But now that Yuan Shikai has suffered a stroke and is paralyzed and unable to handle government affairs, and Beiyang's family has been replaced by Xu Shichang, can this Liu Guanxiong still maintain his loyalty to Xu Shichang?

It was precisely because he had doubts about the allegiance between Liu Guanxiong and Xu Shichang that Lu Jianzhang blurted out that sentence.

"Lang Zhai, what do you mean by that? What do you mean by this, I'm not loyal to the Beiyang group, but only to Yuan Xiangcheng? ”

Sure enough, Lu Jianzhang's words immediately made Liu Guanxiong's face change, he snorted coldly, raised his arm, and broke free of Lu Jianzhang's hand.

"Commander Liu, don't get me wrong, it's not this catty, it means."

Seeing that Liu Guanxiong was about to leave, Lu Jianzhang hurriedly stopped him, and said earnestly: "In the next martial arts, he is not good at words, and he is offended." I also hope that Commander Liu Haihan. It's really not that I don't believe Commander Liu, but the current situation in Beiyang is dangerous, the war in the north is in turmoil, and the south is also a pot of porridge, and now some generals of the first army in Beiyang are openly despising the center, Xu Juren is worried about this, and he is also worried about Zhongzhong, and this speech will inevitably make a little noise. ”

Lu Jianzhang's words calmed Liu Guanxiong's anger a little, he sighed heavily, and said, "Lang Zhai, why don't I understand these truths you said? The current Beiyang is really stormy. Of course, I know what Meng Enyuan's gang had in mind, they wanted to take advantage of the chaos to make a big profit, they saw that the revolutionary party in the south was self-reliant commanders and town guards, and they also wanted to be the emperor of the soil. But this person is under the roof, I can't help but bow my head, my cruiser fleet is stationed in the Huangpu River, to guard against the united front coming from Hangzhou, but how can I let the soldiers sell their lives and not pay the soldiers?

When the troops of the United Front fight wars, they all get "combat allowances, and the Beiyang Army also gets double salaries, so why is our navy raised by our stepmother?" Although Tang Xiangming took the Jiangfang fleet to Jiujiang and Wuhan, before leaving, he left a lot of cronies in Nanjing and Shanghai, and those people had been officers in the cruiser. Those people went to woo, seal officials, and make wishes, that was a bloody investment, what do they want to do? Right now. I don't even dare to give the sailors a holiday, even the "sea analysis." I sent them to the mouth of the Yangtze River, why? I'm afraid, I'm afraid." If the events on the number repeat themselves, I'm afraid that the revolutionary party will come again to encourage the sailors to rebel! ”

Liu Guanxiong complained, and Lu Jianzhang also frowned more and more, the situation of the cruiser fleet is indeed very worrying, but compared with the first army of Beiyang south, the matter of the cruiser fleet is not so important, after all, the army is now the foundation of Beiyang.

"Commander Liu, you went to Nanjing, what happened there? What happened to Wang Shizhen's assassination? Why was Meng Enyuan able to suppress those division commanders and was elected as the "Southeast Patrol Envoy."? ”

Lu Jianzhang asked questions repeatedly, but Liu Guanxiong shook his head again and again.

"Lang Zhai, if I guess correctly, you were ordered to go south this time just to explore the truth, right? Meng Enyuan is your son and daughter's in-law, I know this, but you can't go to Nanjing so recklessly because of this relationship. Let me tell you, although Meng Enyuan is nominally a "southeast patrol envoy", he can't suppress the brigade commanders and regiment commanders below, and now everyone says that he has meritorious support, and asks him for officials and money from Meng Enyuan, plus a Xu Baoshan fanning the flames on the side. This Nanjing city is very lively. Let me tell you, in fact, the reason why Meng Enyuan gave the navy a salary this time is that I want me to support him. The bullet pressed the ground in Nanjing, no, this time I took the "Sea Chip Flying Eagle, two ships to Nanjing." Now, "Hai Chip, go back to Shanghai with me, but" Feiying, who is still on the dock in Nanjing, is for him to support Meng Enyuan and Meng Patrol. ”

"Xu Baoshan? That Xu Baoshan, the guard of Northern Jiangsu? Lu Jianzhuo asked.

"Can it still be a Ming Xu Baoshan? It's the smuggler. That kid, it's been a beautiful thing lately, and the brigade commanders and regiment commanders of the Beiyang Army are brothers, and even the battalion commanders and company commanders under the Beiyang Army have also entered his "Chunbaoshan, wharf, now the first army of the Beiyang South, that is about to become the Jianghu Hui Party, and the officers have met, and they are all this "hall master." , that line, the "red stick" will enter the smoke hall when it leaves the barracks, and then go to the Qinglou, and now the first army in the south of Beiyang, the whole thing is a black miasma.

"What? Is Xu Baoshan really so capable? ”

Lu Jianzhang was taken aback and read the release of the four friends, staring at this 0. Gu Chi looked. Xu Baoshan, a character in the rivers and lakes, is at most a dumb child in Hunan and Sichuan, and he is at the same level. But now listen to what Liu Guanxiong means. I'm afraid this person is not that simple.

"Don't underestimate that kid, let me tell you, Xu Baoshan's "Spring Wharf is not ordinary, it is both the Qing Gang and the Hong Gang, both ends can be eaten, not only in northern Jiangsu, but also in Shanghai. Since the news of the defeat of Henan and the annihilation of the Second Army of the Beiyang Southward Advance spread, the officers of the Beiyang Army in Nanjing began to find a way out for themselves and looked for it. all found him on Xu Baoshan's head, and the result came and went, this "Chun Bao rang." At the beginning, Wang Shizhen didn't care, but later found that many battalion commanders and company commanders had become his disciples of Xu Baoshan. Only then did he panic and hurriedly ordered that officers should not be allowed to join the union. But it was too late, and later, Wang Shizhen was blown up by a bomb, and now he entered "Chunbao Mountain." There are more officers. ”

"In this way, Wang Shizhen was bombed, and Xu Baoshan can't get out of this matter!" Lu Jianzhang slapped his thigh. I finally got it.

"I guess so, but there's no evidence. Besides, Xu Baoshan's kind of Jianghu characters, the minions under his hands are all ignorant outlaws, and it is no problem for them to cut people with knives, but how can they use electricity to detonate bombs? This assassination case, I think it's strange, it's not as simple as it seems. ”

Liu Guanxiong shook his head and sighed, but the British lieutenant colonel over there was obviously more concerned about other issues.

"May I ask Commander Liu, according to the reliable information obtained by our British government, Nanjing has been under martial law for the past few days, and there is no communication between inside and outside, and even foreigners cannot enter and exit freely. And according to the telegram taken by Mr. British Consul in Nanjing. Until yesterday, the state of martial law in the city of Nanjing has not been lifted. ”

Francis's words also aroused Lu Jianzhang's interest, indeed, although the British consul had heard from the relevant parties, but did not get any valuable information, and this was the main reason why the British government decided to send two professional intelligence officers to Nanjing.

"Today Meng Enyuan has lifted martial law, you can go to the city, but I want to tell you, the situation in Nanjing is still a little unstable, Xu Baoshan has attracted a group of people to support Meng Enyuan, but not everyone supports Meng Enyuan, the commander of the Fifth Division Zhang Yongcheng also wants to be this, the southeast patrol envoy "Now the two are riveting, I can't say when to fight, but the telegraph bureau and the telegraph battalion are in the hands of Meng Enyuan, this momentum, Zhang Yongcheng has suffered a lot. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Guanxiong also felt that he was talking too much, so he urged Lu Jianzhang to leave the ship quickly. Because he was going to rush back to Shanghai with that batch of military salaries to appease the officers and men of the cruiser.

However, before Lu Jianzhang and the others could leave the deck of the "Haichou," an adjutant hurriedly walked up to Liu Guanxiong, whispered a few words, and handed over a copy of the telegram.

"This" Lang Zhai, I think I'd better go back to Nanjing with you. ”

Liu Guanxiong's complexion changed slightly, which made Lu Jianzhang very strange.

"There is a change in Nanjing? Lu Jianzhang looked at the transcript of the telegram.

"It's not that Nanjing has changed, it's that the cruiser fleet has changed! Originally in the Yangtze River estuary of the "sea fold." The ship returned to Shanghai without authorization, coerced other warships to sail to the mouth of the Huangpu River, and before leaving, sent a telegram to the Shanghai Telegraph Office, announcing the unilateral cessation of the civil war and urging the North and the South to negotiate peace as soon as possible. The telegram in my hand was forwarded by the Nanking Telegraph Battalion, but the cruiser had taken the telegram five hours earlier, and now I am afraid that they have sailed to the mouth of the Yangtze River. ”

"What?"

Liu Guanxiong's words shocked Lu Jianzhang and said in amazement: "Isn't this a rebellion? "Sea folding. Who is the captain? Who is in command of the warship now? ”

The telegram made it clear that it was an "uprising." "Sea folding. The captain is Huang Zhongheng. This telegram was filmed in his name, and it is not clear who is in command of the warship now. Now, let's hurry to Nanjing, no matter what, solve the matter of this "southeast patrol envoy", and then we can talk about something else, the army's affairs are solved, and the navy's affairs can be easily handled. ”

Liu Guanxiong handed over the telegram transcript to Lu Jianzhang, and then left the deck with a gloomy face.

Lu Jianzhang hurriedly read the contents of the telegram several times, and his face became more and more ugly, and the cruiser fleet clearly planned to pull Hangzhou to join the United Front. Now, in the large warships under the command of Beiyang. I'm afraid that's all that remains of the "Sea Chip".

"The mutinous warship is" Sea Fold, No. ? It was an English-built cruiser, with a standard displacement of 4,300 tons, almost twice as much as the "Sea Chip," and as for the main guns, it seemed to be two eight-inch Armstrong rapid-fire guns, which were also much stronger than the "Sea Chip," and it was second to none in your navy in terms of protection and firepower. ”

British Army Lieutenant Colonel Francis's words added to Lu Jianzhang's worries.

This situation is indeed getting more and more weird.
