Chapter 30 In order to celebrate their birthdays, let's hang them up with street lamps

In the eyes of a soldier, time can be divided into this way - war time and preparation time for war. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info whether it is Handan or Beiyang, there are a lot of people who think so.

From Li Dayan, Cao Degui, Zhao Guangde and a series of Black Dragon Society officers who relied on war to get rich, to Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang, Wang Yingkai, Wu Fengling and other generals in Beiyang, these people all know that the so-called peace is just a gap between two wars. All of their abilities can only be played on the battlefield, and a peaceful life is just a slow death for them.

However, since neither side has completed its war preparations, peace is still barely maintained. In order to keep this peace for a little longer, Chen Cheng proposed to the Beiyang government to establish a buffer zone of about 10 miles on the Liaocheng-Dezhou line. Both sides agreed that neither side would station troops in the area, and that local affairs would be handled by the local people.

It is said that it is handled by the local people, but in fact, it is to decentralize the power into the hands of the local Haoqiang. As for whether the two sides have changed their skins and stuffed the army into it to pretend to be a militia group, it can only be said that it is, but no one will admit it.

"Brother Wang, are you going to go far away?" Xu Wuji bit the popsicle and asked, "Then I'll go with you!" ”

Gu Lu also said: "Master Wang, do you want me to talk to the above, so that you can stay in Handan." ”

Wang Qi said with a smile: "There is no need to do this, I applied to go to Luoyang by myself." ”

"Why?" Gu Lu asked: "Don't say anything else, there is not even running water in Luoyang now, and it is not convenient to live here after I go!" ”

"Hey, there's no running water in Luoyang? Isn't that even a popsicle to eat? ”

"Probably not." Wang Qi touched Xu Wuji's head, "So you don't have to go to Luoyang with me." ”

"I live well in Handan, why do I have to go to Luoyang?"

"Hehe, I'm originally from Henan." Wang Qi said: "Later, I couldn't get along over there, so I came to Hebei to beg for a living." There's basically no fighting on this side now, so I thought I'd go back and have a look, and set up a point of contact over there. ”

"Are we going to develop in Henan?" Gu Lu said suspiciously: "But the army is all in training, and the training of the officers has not been completed, and I haven't heard of the mobilization order." ”

"I guess there's something in mind." Wang Qi obviously didn't want to say more in this regard, "Gu Lu, your talent is very good, but it's a pity that you practice martial arts too late." But don't be discouraged, I've heard that the White Horse Temple has a special martial art that may be useful to you. ”

"Haha, Master Wang, I'm already very satisfied now." Gu Lu laughed, a thirty-year-old man still has the heartiness of a young man, and it is precisely with this state of mind that he can learn all the one thousand and one styles of the Wind Sword and Frost Sword in a short period of time. It took Wang Qi nearly two years to practice.

"Well, I'll leave it to you in the future." Wang Qi turned to Xu Wuji again and said, "After I am gone, if you still want to practice the Wind Sword and Frost Sword, you can come to the Sword Zhai and let Gu Lu teach you." ”

"Just him?" Xu Wuji squinted at Gu Lu and said dissatisfiedly: "But I want to become a peerless master, if I learn from him, I can't become a peerless master, right?" ”

"Hehe, I'll talk about it when you can beat me."

Wang Qi smiled and shook his head, he didn't salute, so he took a long knife with him, jumped into the carriage and left accompanied by the accompanying soldiers. Behind him, Xu Wuji shouted: "Brother Wang, come back when the matter is done!" ”

Wang Qi in the carriage did not look back, and waved his hand to the back, which was regarded as a farewell.

"Alas, I don't know why Brother Wang didn't just live in Handan, there is nothing interesting in Luoyang now." Xu Wuji said like a little adult: "My uncle, they said that it is very profitable here in Handan now, could it be that the people in Luoyang are better to deceive?" ”

Gu Lu smiled and said: "You don't have to deceive people when doing business, besides, is Master Wang the kind of person who loves money?" ”

"Who in the world doesn't like money?" Xu Wuji looked at Gu Lu with disdain and said, "My grandfather said that even His Majesty the Black Dragon King is thinking of various ways to make money." ”

Gu Lu pointed to his own nose and said, "I don't like money very much!" ”

"Liar!" Xu Wuji shouted. "My grandfather said that anyone who said he didn't like money wanted to cheat others out of the last copper plate!" As he spoke, he looked at Gu Lu vigilantly and covered his own small purse, "Let me tell you, I don't have any money in my pocket, don't you want to cheat it!" ”

Gu Lu shook his head, feeling that he couldn't communicate with children. He looked in the direction of Wang Qi's departure for a long time, and knew in his heart that the man who was usually kind and easy to talk would probably not return to Handan for a long time.

Xu Wuji was still there and said: "I'll tell you, I'll come to you to learn martial arts, but I won't pay tuition, Brother Wang didn't charge me money when he was here." ”

A few months later, after the completion of the autumn harvest on the land of Hebei, Chen Cheng was sent to the northwest tour to publicly electrify the Mongolian princes on charges of "disobeying the king, splitting the motherland, and intending to secession......... Any attempt to reverse the car will be crushed into powder by the wheels of history! ”

Immediately, the Black Dragon Society, which had already been mobilized, rode 20,000 steps in Zhangjiakou to swear, and then went all the way to the north, sweeping the Mongolian princes of Mobei who took advantage of the great changes in the Central Plains and intended independence into the garbage heap of history.

Li Dayan, the former general of the Black Dragon Army, who was renamed Li Dingyuan, led four infantry regiments and two cavalry regiments that were fully manned, and with the assistance of a cadre of righteous servants, it took less than a month to fight to the point of being stunned. Later, he returned to Kulun and expelled the lamas and Mongolian princes in this place.

The rest of the Mongols were all prostrate at Li Dingyuan's feet, and they were called "the God of Great Black Sky Destruction". During the advance into Mongolia, the Mongol army had little resistance. The army of the Black Dragon Society had recruited a lot of Mongolian athletes, and these people received various rewards based on their exploits after the war, and many of them became low-ranking officers. The most important thing they want is to fight back to Mongolia and knock all the bad guys who used to oppress them to the ground.

For the expelled princes, the Mongols in their khaki uniforms were the worst. It was these people who led the Han people in the Central Plains, confiscated their family property, and set off a reactionary wave of "dividing cattle and sheep and fighting princes" on the grassland.

Not only that, but they also taught the low-level herders to play a game of poker known as "Dou Wanggong". The one who got the hole card was the prince, and the two who didn't get it joined forces to fight the prince..........

When the resistance of the army did not work, the lamas sent assassins, and when Li Dingyuan met with the local enlightened prince, he jumped out and shot him in the chest. The Assassin then watched in amazement as the bullet bounced off Black Humpty Dumpty's body, and Lee pulled out a large number of rebels and would-be rebels, and then eliminated them according to Mongol tradition.

At the same time as Li Dingyuan marched into Mongolia, news came from Henan: Wang Qi, one of the thirteen Taibao of the former Black Dragon Society, attacked in Luoyang City with a single sword, killing and beheading 37 middle and high-level cadres below the level of the dignified Emperor Ze. According to eyewitnesses, when it was, the sword qi rushed straight to the bull fight, and the blood in the hall flowed like a river.

Just when the Beiyang Army and the Hubei New Army began to mobilize, news came from the south that the League would launch a successful coup d'état in Guangzhou, and Huang Xing, Chen Jiongming, Hu Hanmin and others supported Sun Yat-sen and established the "Generalissimo's Mansion".

In the mountains of Jiangxi, there was also a group of thieves with sickles and hammers to drive away the local prefect, and it is said that the leader was a young man named Yang Hongsen,、。 However, it is said that he has several brothers surnamed Zhang, and some people have called him "Brother Baosen".

In Shuzhong, the country of abundance, a mutiny also broke out, and a group of robe brothers and local talents united to elect Zhu Qinglan, a native of the Northeast, as their leader. Zhu Qinglan had the expression of a dog, "You said that I am a northeasterner, why did I come to Sichuan......." but Jiang Dengxuan under him, Guo Songling and others cheered for this.

Towards the end of 1901, the whole of China seemed to be in the pre-war tensions.

"Probably, this is because everyone has finally woken up from the shock of the fall of the Qing Dynasty and began to want to occupy a place in the new era." Chen Cheng said this, "You say that we provoked the incident? Hey, you can't say that, can the things of the reader be called stealing......... Well, I don't know what I'm talking about anymore........."

The girl lifted her head, wiped the white turbidity from the corners of her mouth, and said dissatisfiedly, "What about the interesting things you said?" It's been months, and I haven't even seen a shadow! ”

"Well, I was going to surprise you on your birthday." Chen Cheng set his eyes on the ceiling, "If you want to know in advance, that's fine." ”

"Ah, don't you say I've forgotten, I'll be fourteen years old in half a month."

"yes, time flies."

"That's not what I'm talking about," Lin Mengchu got out from under the table, "Since it's almost our birthday, why don't we do something to celebrate!" ”

"Huh?"

"There are many people on our side who have been colluding with the Beiyang side or some other force for too long, so long that they seem to have forgotten who is the master of this land." The girl said murderously: "Didn't you say that you have to put up lights when you celebrate?" I think it would be a little more fun to hang some people from a street lamp! ”
