Chapter 191: Zhang Zuolin's Choice
At the headquarters of the Liaodong Army, Murakami Shaozo did not receive the news from Captain Matsumoto, but he received the body of Matsumoto sent back by Zhou Qiangsheng with Jing Plea. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
For this result, Murakami Shaosa was both angry and shocked.
I just wanted Matsumoto to check some things, and Matsumoto died.
As long as it is a normal person, it is too much of a coincidence that these two things came together.
However, even if Murakami was full of doubts about Matsumoto's death, Murakami could not raise any doubts.
Because, Zhou Qiangsheng made Matsumoto Shaozo's death very clear, reasonable, and he couldn't find any reason to refute it.
After stopping at the headquarters for less than five minutes, Murakami returned to his room with a heavy heart.
Of course, along with Murakami Shaoza, who returned to his room, there were also four Japanese who remained at the headquarters.
"Baga, Matsumoto-kun's death is really strange, this must be a conspiracy of the Liaodong Army...... Matsumoto-kun must have died at the hands of the Liaodong Army......" As soon as he walked into Murakami's room, a Japanese couldn't help but scold.
Murakami's brows furrowed, and he said: "Shut up for me, this is the headquarters of the Liaodong Army, not the Imperial Japanese Army, be careful that the wall has ears......"
After it was over, Murakami Shaosa also said with a solemn face: "Matsumoto-kun's death, I also doubt ......"
"However, suspicion is suspicion, and no one can be impulsive until there is real evidence......"
"Also, let me remind you once again that this is the headquarters of the Liaodong Army, not the Imperial Japanese Army...... If Matsumoto-kun really died at the hands of the Liaodong Army, then the Liaodong Army might use the same means to kill the rest of us......"
"So, from now on, everyone has to keep a low profile and stop being impulsive......"
Speaking of this, Murakami Shaoza directly shifted his gaze to a Japanese, and then spoke.
"Ida-kun, you are the only officer with an intelligence background among us, Matsumoto-kun is now dead. I decided to send you to a battalion to train new recruits and find out in the shortest possible time how Matsumoto-kun died......"
"If our guesses are all true. That shows that Yang Xingguo of the Liaodong Army is a person who is not friendly to the Great Japanese Empire, but also full of hostility, and it is impossible for him to be controlled by the Great Japanese Empire......"
"When the time comes, the Great Japanese Empire will come to take revenge on him. Revenge for Matsumoto-kun who died in battle
"Hey!" When their lives were at stake, several Japanese people became serious. Yes
The Japanese died down, and Yang Xingguo didn't think much about it, so he divided the remaining 1,500 recruits from the headquarters.
Of course, the Japanese were not idle, and began to investigate the cause of Captain Matsumoto's death by various means.
However, because they are all lurking around them is an intelligence agent arranged by Midweek Juju.
Therefore, their every move failed to escape Yang Xingguo's eyes.
Yang Xingguo and the Japanese fought wits and courage in the Liaodong Army. Several combat battalions of the Liaodong Army, with two thousand recruits, began to restore their combat effectiveness.
Shengjing General Zengqi, who achieved his goal in the capital, finally returned to the Shengjing General's Mansion.
In the face of the weapons and ammunition sent by the Liaodong Army as promised, Zengqi looked satisfied, but also strengthened the plan in his heart.
So, the day after Zengqi returned to the Shengjing General's Mansion, an order was issued from the Shengjing General's Mansion to the Shengjing New Army and the patrol battalions in various places.
At the station of the Xinmin Patrol Battalion, Zhang Zuolin, the commander of the patrol battalion, was thinking with a thoughtful face. Looking at the military order just issued by General Shengjing's mansion.
After some thought, Zhang Zuolin directly ordered the service sickness: "Let a few battalion managers come to the big tent immediately, there will be important matters to discuss with them...... The sooner the better. ”
Soon. A few henchmen who followed Zhang Zuolin all the way gathered under Zhang Zuolin's big tent.
After reading all the orders handed over by Zhang Zuolin, an old subordinate shouted with a dissatisfied face......
"We can't go, we definitely can't go to that place in Liaozhong...... It's not like we haven't fought Lao Maozi, are they so good at fighting...... General, we can't go to anything, it seems to me. Now going to Liaozhong to beat Lao Maozi is no different from sending him to death......"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Zuoxiang stood up and retorted: "You are destroying your own prestige and increasing the morale of others......"
"He Liaodong Army can kill Lao Maozi and wipe out more than 10,000 Lao Maozi, why can't our Xinmin Patrol Battalion ......"
"The Liaodong Army is from bandits, and the Xinmin Patrol Battalion is also from bandits, why can they defeat Lao Maozi, we can't ......"
Although Zhang Zuoxiang's words sounded uplifting, most of the officers in the big tent looked at Zhang Zuolin with a weak face.
There is no doubt that they were not moved by Zhang Zuoxiang's words.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhang Zuoxiang finished speaking, another officer shouted: "I don't care how his Liaodong Army defeated Lao Maozi, anyway, Lao Maozi's combat strength is there." It was not with great difficulty for our brothers to get to where we are today, and we must not wade into this soup muddy water and bury such a good situation......"
"Therefore, we must not go to Liaozhong ......"
Another officer followed up and shouted, "In Xinmin, our patrol battalion is the boss...... Ruling you in Xinmin is a perfect word......"
"What about Liaozhong...... Do we listen to the Liaodong Army, or do we lead the army independently and fight our own ......"
Command, no matter where it is, is what an officer values the most.
This sentence of his subordinates, without a doubt, said that Zhang Zuolin was the most heart-wrenching.
If he really led his troops to Liaozhong, from now on, whether he continued to do whatever he wanted would still have to listen to the Liaodong Army.
The former is okay, with his brothers, he may be able to lay a world of his own in Liaozhong.
But if it is the latter, it means that the foundation that he has worked hard for more than ten years will be given away.
As for himself, he will be reduced to a pawn again, with nothing.
Such a result is absolutely impossible for Zhang Zuolin, who has his own ambitions and revenge, to accept.
Thinking of this, the hesitation on Zhang Zuolin's face was immediately replaced by firmness.
Facing a group of subordinates, he decisively decided: "We can't go to Liaozhong, our roots are ...... Xinmin."
"As long as we continue to stay in Xinmin, with our current foundation and strength, we will have the possibility of further development and growth......
"So, we have to stay in Xinmin ......"
"As for Liaozhong and Liaodong Army, whoever wants to go, I will go, anyway, my Lao Zhang will not go to this troubled water......"
"The general is wise...... several subordinates replied with complicated expressions.
Zhang Zuolin is now decided, but, a year later, no, it only takes half a year later, Zhang Zuolin will find out.
He was still in charge of the patrol battalion when Xinmin was in charge. Yang Xingguo commanded the Liaodong Army and had defeated Lao Maozi many times.
Not only has the territory expanded to the size of four or five Xinmin, but the army has also expanded to more than ten times the size of the Xinmin patrol battalion. (To be continued.) )
