When Wang Hengyue pacified Yunnan and Guizhou, the war situation in Hunan also underwent major changes!

Duan Qirui's confidant Fu Liangzuo transferred the Northern Army to fight, with Wang Ruxian, commander of the Eighth Division, as the commander-in-chief of the Hunan Army, and Fan Guozhang, commander of the 28th Division, as the deputy commander-in-chief, and ordered three routes. The 8th and 20th Divisions attacked Hengshan head-on, the 4th Brigade of the 2nd Division of the Hunan Army attacked Baoqing as the right flank, and the Anwu Army transferred from Anhui attacked Youxian. The promise not to bring troops into Hunan was torn up, and the Hunan issue became the Third Civil War. Although Zhu Zehuang, commander of the Fourth Brigade of the Second Division of the Hunan Army, was a native of Hunan, he was willing to serve the Northern Army and led the Hunan Army to occupy Baoqing from Yongfeng and Jieling.

On October 6, Wang Ruqin's unit of the 15th Brigade of the 8th Division of the Northern Army, which was in the front, captured the unfortified Hengshan on the 11th. Duan Qirui, who was in Yanjing, was in a relaxed mood. It is believed that Hunan refers to Keping. At the same time, a large number of consolation goods were transported to the front line to reward the soldiers.

In terms of the Hunan army, when Zhao Hengti was mourning in Hengshan, due to the large-scale invasion of the northern army to the south, the officers and soldiers of the first division of his old department asked Zhao Hengti to return to the department quickly, and Zhao Hengti was Mo Qian Congrong, and first went to Hengyang to discuss the military with Liu Jianfan and Lin Xiumei, and calmly deployed, and fortified the Xiangshui between the Xuanzhou River and Liu Jianfan's department 550 miles southwest of Hengshan. Wang Ruxian, Fan Guozhang led the troops to attack, the two sides of the drama lasted more than 40 days, Liu Jianfan's commander Huang Yue to the harsh winter is coming, ammunition will be exhausted, I am afraid that it will be difficult to support, is to lead the death squad of more than 100 people to copy the northern army, actually died in the post, the northern army was frightened, the Hunan army seized the opportunity to counterattack, the northern army did not support, but collapsed, the Hunan army captured a large number of ordnance and ammunition, the morale of the army increased greatly, chasing the north, the northern army has no will to fight, only in the tea garden shop of Changheng Highway to engage the battle once, the northern army then retreated to Changsha.

Duan waited for more good news and better news from Hunan, but how did he know that a month had passed, but there was no news. Just when the battle situation on the front line was silent, suddenly a thunderbolt came from the northern army, Wang Ruxian and Fan Guozhang of the Northern Army sent a joint telegram, advocating an armistice and withdrawing troops, and on the night when Wang and Fan Han called for an armistice and withdrawing troops, Fu Liangzuo issued a special martial law order in Changsha to cut off traffic in the city. In the mist of night, Fu and Zhou Zhaoxiang, acting governor of the province, secretly climbed aboard a warship and fled to Jinggang, 60 miles downstream of Changsha.

The armistice of Wang Ruxian and Fan Guozhang was a fatal blow to the Anhui lineage. Because both divisions have deep ties to the direct line. The Eighth Division was the main force of Duan's rebellion, and this division helped Duan to quell the rebellion of the restoration, and as a result, the bird was exhausted, and the division commander Li Changtai was relieved of his military power, and Duan promoted the brigade commander Wang Ruxian to the division commander.

After the change in the situation in Hunan, the Liangguang tour finally allowed Lu Rongting to take a breath.

Taking advantage of the Northern Expedition of the Gui Army and the Guangdong Army, Wang Hengyue actually seized Yunnan and Guizhou like lightning, which was completely intolerable to Lu Rongting, who had already regarded Yunnan as a bag!

But now Lu Rongting wants to crusade against Wang Hengyue, but he has more than enough strength to do so, and one of the very important factors is military spending!

First, he fought a fierce battle with the Yunnan army in Yunnan, and then for his own interests, he used 80 battalions of the Gui army and the Guangdong army to aid Hunan and threw out a lot of money.

The so-called guns go off, and there are 10,000 taels of gold.

You can fight a war without anything, but you can't lack money.

But now Lu Rongting is not short of anything, he is short of money!

Lin Tianlong fiddled with the hexagram for a long time, and suddenly stood up and looked at Lu Rongting deeply, "Congratulations to the patrol envoy, congratulations to the patrol envoy!" ”

"My Tianlong, when is this coming, and I'm still kidding." Lu Rongting said with a little reproach.

Lin Tianlong smiled slightly: "Subordinates never tell lies. Judging from the hexagram, there will inevitably be a God of Wealth in the territory of Liangguang, and this person will be a noble person who patrols the envoys. ”

Lu Rongting believed this most in his life, and after listening to Lin Tianlong's words, he was skeptical: "Really? ”

Before the words fell, a subordinate from outside walked in: "Report to the patrol envoy, there is a person who claims to be the Hong Kong Daye Investment Company asking to see him. ”

Lu Rongting opened his mouth wide, looked at Lin Tianlong, and said for a long time: "Could it be, is it, this?"

"It's hard to say whether it's the God of Wealth." Lin Tianlong pinched his fingers there for a long time, frowned and said, "Strange, it's not again, it's not again, what is the truth about this?" ”

"It doesn't matter if he's or not, let's watch it first!" Lu Rongting straightened his clothes: "Let him in!" ”

After a while, a thin young man walked in, dressed in a dress, with a civilized stick and a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said:

"Hello, Lord Lu Xunyue, hello, I am Cai Sili, general manager of Hong Kong Daye Investment Company."

"Mr. Cai, hello, please take a seat," Lu Rongting invited the uninvited guest to sit down: "Daye Company? This name is good, this name is good, I don't know what Mr. Cai is here for? ”

Hearing the word "great cause", Lu Rongting already liked it a little in his heart. Great cause, great cause, this name sounds auspicious.

"My lord, I have been doing business abroad all the year round, London, Paris, Berlin, New York," Zeisley said very casually, "but the tour envoy must also know that there are wars everywhere in Europe now, and it is not very peaceful, so I opened my company to Hong Kong to prepare for domestic business, of course, this is also introduced by my cousin." ”

Hearing that Chaisley has business in so many countries, Lu Rongting was in awe, and when he heard him say "cousin", he was curious: "Dare to ask Mr. Cai's cousin?" ”

Chase said lightly: "Honorable Patrol Envoy, he has also led troops to fight in China before, I heard that he has also been a governor, oh, no, it is the governor, you see, we like to be called the governor abroad, I always have to be mistaken, I'm really sorry, I always think that I am still in the bustling and luxurious Paris"

Lu Rongting was even more suspicious in his heart, who was the cousin of the Overseer?

"When I think of Paris, I think of the Paris Opera, the beautiful singing, the wonderful ball, oh God, and the graceful figure of Countess Warren."

Chase was chattering there, as if the whole person was back in Paris, Lu Rongting was impatient, but according to past experience, these fake foreign devils who came back from abroad probably liked to be so showy.

After listening to his boasting, Chase finally remembered Zhou Jun's cousin: "That cousin of mine used to be Guizhou?" No, Hunan? No, oh, I remember, it's the governor of Yunnan no, the governor! ”

"Cai Yi!" Lu Rongting and Lin Tianlong shouted out together.

"Yes, Cai Ye." Chase was completely indifferent: "What, is he famous?" ”

Lu Rongting and Lin Tianlong smiled bitterly at each other, not knowing how to explain it.

His cousin is Cai Yi? He actually asked Cai Ye if he was famous in China?

Lin Tianlong said with some suspicion: "Cai Du is your cousin?" ”

"God, my Excellency the officer." Chase drew a cross on his chest: "Is a governor really big?" No, never, I know Count Warren, I know Count Hitz. God, God, am I going to take a governor of everything and pretend to be my cousin? ”

Chase looked very angry, but Lin Tianlong did not lose his vigilance because of this, but asked with a smile: "Mr. Cai, Chase must be your foreign name, right?" What is your Chinese name? ”

Cai Sili's face actually turned red: "I haven't used this Chinese name for a long time, it was my father who gave me it, it's called this, this Cai Quanwang"

Lu Rongting couldn't help laughing, Chase Sley? Cai Quanwang!

Good Chinese, don't call a Chinese name, don't go to take a foreigner's name.

"Is there any time for Mr. Cai to come this time?" Lu Rongting thought for a moment and asked.

"Yes, the Ranger." Cai Sili took out an invitation card: "My Daye company will open next month, tomorrow I will set up a few tables in Guifu Building to entertain celebrities from all walks of life, and please make sure to come." ”

Lu Rongting was about to refuse, but saw Lin Tianlong winking at him, and changed his words: "Since it is Mr. Cai's invitation, then Lu will definitely arrive tomorrow, come, the invitation has been received." ”

"Thank you." Chase stood up, bowed slightly, and walked out with the civilization stick.

Lu Rongting was about to speak, but he heard Lin Tianlong say: "Come on, try your best to find the Ben Cai family tree!" ”

"Tianlong, right now Sun Wen's group of people are all active in Liangguang, maybe they have bad intentions, why do they want to go tomorrow?"

"Patrol makes you don't have to worry about anything!"

Lin Tianlong said: "I will go first, and I will definitely check the inside and outside to ensure that the patrol is fine." I have calculated that the god of wealth will help me in these days, but I am afraid that it should be on this person. It's just that this hexagram is a little strange, and I still haven't understood what it means to be yes or no. ”

"We'll find out then." Lu Rongting pondered there for a while: "It's just that what are you looking for the Cai family tree for?" ”

Lin Tianlong said lightly: "Patrol envoy, Cai Du is no longer alive now, who knows if this person is real or fake?" What if I use Cai Du's name to deceive? The subordinates did not dare not think carefully. ”

Lu Rongting was immediately moved: "Tianlong, you are very good, you are very good, you are loyal, and you are so careful, since I have you, I really don't have to worry about anything." ”

"What does the Patrol Envoy say? These are all things that subordinates should do. Lin Tianlong was not proud of his achievements at all, but said respectfully:

"The patrol envoy and his father are friends, and they are appreciated by the patrol envoy, so they stay left and right, and their subordinates can only repay the kindness of the patrol envoy by doing their best and working hard!"
