"This is the military salary that Xu Youzheng gave us?" In the headquarters of the Feng army stationed in Gyeonggi, Zhang Yuting looked at the military salary received by his subordinates, his face was pale, and his eyes were like fire. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Rao is the master of this cunning fox outside the gate, and he has been prepared in his heart in advance, but he only thought that the Anhui army would be deducted or full. But I didn't expect that what I received was actually this kind of military salary.

Xu Youzheng ordered troops in Sizhaotang and promised to allocate 3 million to Fengjun's military salary, and he did what he said, but instead of deducting it, he gave an extra 100%, and Fengjun finally received 3.3 million military salaries. The problem, however, is that these military salaries are neither banknotes nor silver dollars, but public bonds for the unification of the north and the south with a face value of 3.3 million.

The person responsible for receiving military salaries is also a fierce general under Zhang Yuting, Wang Yongqing, a horse bandit from Heilongjiang. He hated and said: "Mom's little fan, it's too deceitful!" Don't you know, Dashuai, as soon as our people arrived at the place, his people set up their guns, and if we reasoned with him, he was allowed to shoot people. We got this pile of scraps of paper, and he asked me to sign the pile of paperwork instead. If you don't sign it, you won't give money, and I can't read, so I can only draw a pledge in the end. I don't know how much money he asked me to sign in total, but I signed it anyway. We are outside the customs, but we have never suffered such a big loss, we have come all the way to the customs, we have to eat or not, we have to burn or not, and we are angry here! Moreover, if there is still ink on the military rations, they will give it first, and we will give it later, what kind of stuff are they given. ”

In this year's disaster year, the army also relied on exporting grain and timber to Shandong to make profits. However, when the soldiers entered the customs, the railways were not passable, and it was difficult to transport and replenish them, so the military food should naturally be taken care of by the Duan Department.

The amount of bread received from the hands of the Anhui army was small, and its taste also made the soldiers suffer greatly. These breads purchased from Fuso, or military rations purchased during the Great War of Fuso, were hard enough to be used as self-defense weapons, and they had to be chopped up with a saw. The sawdust and sawdust mixed in the bread made Fengjun's eating a big adventure. Eating the bread in the stomach, the same will be the second round of destruction of the stomach, in contrast, after the foreign meat, the soldiers generally broke out a strong patriotic feeling, extremely nostalgic for the bud rice and vermicelli in their hometown, thinking that the domestic goods are good, and the foreign goods should be poured.

Zhang Yuting's face was cloudy, and after thinking for a long time, he waved his hand, "Yongqing, don't think too much." Follow me Lao Zhang, when did you suffer poverty. Isn't Manager Dong with us, with him, the brothers will not go hungry. Those public debts are kept, and I will slowly settle accounts with Lao Duan when I go back. I invited Dong Caishen to come, and the matter of military pay made him think about it. ”

sent Wang Yongqing away, and it didn't take long for the orderlies to invite Dong Jun in. Dong Jun, who started his career outside the Guan, has now become a hot banker in the three eastern provinces. The Feng army was strong and weak, and few people knew how to finance the troops with horse thieves as the main military commanders, so Zhang Yuting was promised as the deputy director of the Finance Department, and cooperated with Wang Yongjiang, a talented man outside the Guan, to jointly control the Feng system's money bag.

From a businessman who almost went bankrupt to now become a financial dignitary of the Fengjun, even if the capital Siheng is confiscated, the Siheng branch outside the customs can be maintained independently. All of these are inseparable from Shandong's assistance. But this kind of assistance is inseparable from the intimate relationship between the female elders of a certain family and Zhao Guanhou. Even now, his nominal mother-in-law is still dispatching military funds for the Lu army in Shandong and sitting in Jinan. The relationship between the two is actually very awkward.

Zhang Yuting pointed to a few public bonds, "Lord of Wealth, the people in Guanli look down on us Fengjun, saying that we are a dirt bun with a head of sorghum flowers, and we don't understand anything, so we are so confused." Look, isn't this just fooling us? I asked for a long day's military salary, and I was given a bunch of broken pieces of paper, which can be used as money. ”

Dong Jun smiled, "What does the handsome let me see?" In the past few years outside the Guan, Dong has long changed from a Shanxi businessman to a flat-headed old customer in Kanto. The gentlemen outside our customs recognize straightforwardness and don't talk about twists and turns. This time I entered the customs, originally I wanted to get a large amount of money from Xu, and then get a batch of arms to enrich my own strength. The three provinces outside the Guanxi are the foundation of our army, and the mountains and rivers inside the Guanxi are great, so why can't our army get a piece of the pie? The melee of the three lines of Zhilu and Anhui is a good time for us to enter the Guannei. Duan has been training for many days, and the performance of the border guards outside the border is also known to be excellent, so we should not have a head-on conflict with him, and we must only act after both sides are defeated. But at the moment, it seems that we can't afford conflict, and I'm afraid we can't. Dong's plan did not succeed, and he had to ask the marshal for his guilt. ”

"What a crime! Isn't it just to cheat some money and not cheat, it's nothing, it's a common thing! When my old Zhang was a red beard, he didn't smash the kiln at two ends for three days, so do you want to ask for sin? Don't care about that, I originally thought that I would wait for two times to pinch out an eyebrow and then make a calculation. Now I see, Xiao Xu is forcing me to show his attitude to him. I was wondering if I should go to Beijing and talk to my crooked nose face to face. If he admits his head and counts the money, I will pretend to be with him. If he is willing to give some ocean, we will not move for the first time, in short, we can't enter the customs in vain. ”

At this time, a report came, and the adjutant walked in from outside, "Back to the handsome, Mr. Duan has given you an invitation sticker, please go to the Anfu Club for a banquet tonight, be sure to enjoy the light." ”

"Lao Duan invited me to dinner? Hehe, that's kind of interesting. Do you think it's inappropriate to give me this public debt, and you want to talk to me face to face? ”

Zhang Yuting looked at the invitation sticker, with a smile on his face, "In order not to disturb the place, the guard force is limited to one company, I hope my brother will understand...... It's kind of interesting, how many guards I bring, and what does it have to do with him. In the current capital, the five elements and eight works are all tyrannical, and I heard that even Duan Zhiquan's house is full of the smell of horse gourds. I brought some soldiers, why did he disturb the place? ”

Dong Jun said: "Handsome, don't be careless. Duan Zhiquan may be able to believe that Xu is unreasonable. Even the chief of the hall dares to kill without permission, if it is not good for the commander......"

"It's okay, when I tied up the meat ticket outside the gate, he was still a good student, I was afraid of what he was doing. God of Wealth, how is Lu Jun's remittance? ”

"If you go back to Dashuai, it has already arrived the day before yesterday, and the amount of 1.4 million yuan is not less."

Zhang Yuting nodded, "It's better to rely on my brother, as soon as I said that the military salary was difficult, I immediately remitted such a large sum of money, so I didn't worry about me, I didn't do anything after taking the money, or I still fought with him." When I first met outside the border, I knew that my brother was enough to be a man, and he could make friends! This money is all handled by Siheng, right? ”

"Exactly."

"What do you think? You are our God of Wealth, and now the first thing to pay in the war is the first thing to pay, so I have to hear what you mean first. ”

"The marshal has won the award, Dong is a businessman, he doesn't understand the military, and he doesn't dare to interfere in military politics. It's just that the marshal is supported by a lowly position, and he doesn't dare not do his best. Those paid by the Duan system are all public debts, and those given by Shandong are reckless silver dollars. Shandong has a wide range of grain and straw, but the Anhui army can only gnaw those Taixi stones, and now, Lu is not harmless to my heart, and Anhui has the intention of being a commander. Where to go, why do you need to talk too much? ”

Zhang Yuting laughed and said: "Okay, God of Wealth, you don't understand military affairs, and everything you say is quite right." I understand what you mean, damn it, the little fan thinks that with the support of the Orientals, he can not take my old Zhang in his eyes? I don't want to think about it, now that the little nose has any virtue, what else can he do to Lao Zhang. I'm tired of staying outside the customs, and I originally wanted to enter the customs, but when the fight on both sides is over, we'll get a few pieces of territory to play. The Lu army does not recruit me, I do not make enemies of the Lu army, the Anhui army does not provoke me, and I do not oppose them. The little fan wants to hack me, so don't blame me for being unkind to him! ”

"Marshal, at present, the Anhui army is heavily assembled in Gyeonggi, and our Feng army is being attacked on all sides, and now it is openly turning its face, I am afraid that it will be disadvantageous to our army......"

Zhang Yuting sneered: "I ignore him now, but he doesn't dare to mess with me." Inform the team, the whole army retreated, and told him that we can't live without food, and we are back outside the customs! ”

The Feng army was originally stationed outside the pass, and only after receiving the warrant from the Zhengfu was able to enter the Shanhaiguan, and at the time of entering the customs, it had already controlled the dangerous places and military passes along the Shanhaiguan. The Feng army nominally withdrew to Guanwai, but in fact, it would not give up dangerous places such as Shanhaiguan at all. Its situation, like a wild wolf, staring at the rear of the Anhui army, will pounce on it and bite it fiercely if it has the slightest opportunity.

Looking at the Feng army, which was about to retreat on a large scale, Dong Jun secretly said in his heart: This time, Shandong only remitted 200,000 yuan, and the remaining 1.2 million yuan were all raised by Kwantung Siheng himself and paid in the name of Shandong remittance. It can be regarded as using Siheng's money to buy this bandit army. Aunt Jin, the Dong family owes you, and Siheng owes Shandong, and this time it can be regarded as paying off. In the future, Kanto Siheng and Shandong Siheng will still be the best business partners, but there will be no more personal relationships. As for the outcome of your future, you will seek more blessings for yourself, and even if you are old and decrepit and down, you will not give any kind of help. There are no grievances, and the rest is only interests.

In the Iron Lion Hutong, the soldiers and dozens of gunmen in ambush did not wait for anyone, but waited for the news that the Feng army had withdrawn from the civil war and returned to Guanwai. Duan Zhiquan knew in his heart that the beheading operation must have been seen through by the other party, and now the in-laws could not do it, so they could only be wronged.

Xu Youzheng didn't see any fear, "The Feng army can't be our opponent, there are only two divisions in total, and they are adapted from Hu bandits, and their quality is low. You can only win, you can't be defeated, and when you encounter a headwind, you will be a wolf, and you will not be able to fight. Even if it controlled Shanhaiguan, it did not dare to take the initiative to launch an attack on our army. In front of us, our enemy is the Zhilu coalition army, as long as they are defeated, the Feng army will be defeated without a fight. ”

Returning to the main battlefield, the east and west were divided, and on paper, the number of border guards far exceeded that of the Zhilu coalition army. Judging from the reserves of weapons and ammunition, as well as the quality of the soldiers, the Anhui army is not lagging behind. But the current situation has gradually been pulled back by the Zhilu Federation. From a diplomatic point of view, the Zhilu Federation has received the support of Lianghu, Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Henan and other provinces, and is known as the alliance of eight provinces.

After the Tanglin robbery and the 21 cases, Chahar and Rehe also joined the team of the eight-province alliance in the name of investigating the cause of the president's death and vowing to pursue the murderer. In the current situation, the capital is lonely and surrounded by all directions, and Duan Zhiquan is already a little timid in his heart.

Xu Ju issued an armistice order, but the effect was not obvious, and the provincial armies showed no signs of stopping. Unless the general resignation of the Anfu department, this battle is inevitable.

Xu Youzheng said: "Surrounded by the enemy, although its strength is strong, its strength is weak. Our army is strong in strength and has the advantage of the inner line, and by concentrating on one point, we can defeat any force that surrounds us. The provincial coalition armies, although nominally have the name of the alliance, have no actual coalition forces. Our enemy, from beginning to end, has only been the Zhilu coalition army. What we have to do now is to capture the flag in the army of 10,000 horses! As long as the Lu army is killed, the enemy will die without a fight. In our eastern and western armies, the Eastern Route Army is under my command, and Zhi Lao is in direct charge. It's the Western Route Army...... Something is wrong. ”

Duan Zhiquan also knew that the main force of the Western Route Army was the 15th Division of Liu Xun, which was actually the guard division brought into Beijing by Feng Yuzhang. Originally, his troops entered Beijing to fight against the Duan system by force. However, the Duan Department relied on economic restraint to control the salaries of the 15th Division, and also used bribery and other means to win over the middle, middle, and high-level commanders of the army, resulting in the entire division being won over by the Anhui Department. After Feng Yuzhang's death, this division was absorbed by the Anhui system and became the main force. Now that Shandong is vigorously creating public opinion, claiming that Feng Yuzhang's death has hidden circumstances, the attitude of this division is a bit suspicious, and if it defects a while ago, it will indeed cause a bad impact.

Xu Youzheng said: "What the students said is not only Liu Xun, but also Qu Fengtong. Don't forget, Zhi Lao is a native of Shandong, and he has hometown friendship, so we can't guess his position. ”

"Fengtong...... That's impossible! Duan Zhiquan shook his head and said: "I believe in his personality and his martial ethics, and he will not act against his lord." Moreover, Duan Xiangyan, commander-in-chief of the Western Route Army...... We all know his ability to use soldiers, but Liang Caishen is a man who buys his account very much. If he is not allowed to be the commander-in-chief, the food and salary of the Western Route Army will become a problem. His ability is worse, he has to have a good general to assist, if you remove Fengtong, who will be the main general? ”

Xu Youzheng said in his heart: Opposite the West Route Army, there is only one strong general Wu Jingfu, and the rest are only people like the Shandong Provincial Army and Xiao Guangbei, what is so terrible? On the contrary, in front of him, there are two trump cards of the Lu army, which must be a hard bone. If you continue to strengthen the West Road, do you want to give the credit to Duan Xiangyan? But this kind of thing can't be said, so he has to laugh and say:

"Elder Zhi, of course the student didn't mean that. It's just a major matter of the soldiers, don't be careless, the students deliberately arranged our eyes and ears around the two of them to ensure that they don't get out of the grasp of our army. ”

Duan Zhiquan also knew that Xu Youzheng, modeled on Shandong, had also established an intelligence agency in Gonghe, and asked the Fusang people to provide guidance from technical to economic aspects. But after all, it has only been established for a short time, and it is mainly used internally, not externally. However, if an important general is surrounded by shadows, once the incident happens, it will be a big trouble. He asked, "Are people reliable?" If things don't work well......"

"Zhi Lao rest assured, these people are the backbone of the students' training, and their work ability and ethics are worthy of trust. With them as eyes and ears, Liu Xun and Qu Fengtong can't escape our grasp. In addition, our people will set a fire in Shandong to let Zhao Guanhou taste the taste of a fire in the backyard! ”
