Sun Meiyao couldn't help laughing, she was wearing a tweed military uniform, as well as a furry leather jacket, and there was no shortage of cotton clothes, cotton shoes, and cotton hats for the soldiers of the whole army. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This is nothing more than Zhao Guanhou's heart and mind, and the meaning in the message is not only to cry poor but also to threaten the provincial overseers. If he is unwilling to contribute money and efforts, Lao Tzu will lead the troops back to Shandong and let the monarch save the country and toss it casually. The poor province of Shaanxi can't support so many people, so it is necessary to go out to rob, and when the time comes, no one will have a good life.

"Shanxi is a wide place, when he was in the former Jin, the northern provinces, he was rich, what's the matter, he should also help, right?"

Yang Cuiyu nodded, "The one from Songjiang has sent a telegram, saying that Shanxi has released a million silver and sent it to Shandong." She used the money as a reserve, and the mint worked day and night, printing 2.4 million reckless tickets, half of which were shipped to pay the army, and the other half was sent to her second sister-in-law to purchase materials. Yan Yishan didn't dare to disagree, not to mention whether the president would spare him or not, as long as we drove the Salvation Monarch to Shanxi, he would not have a good life. When this was placed in the former Jin, it was called beggar-thy-neighbor, and it was the most common trick used by officials to suppress bandits. ”

Sun Meiyao was overjoyed and said: "This is about the same, there is food and salary, and I am not afraid to save the monarch!" Come as much as you want, pick up as much as you want! ”

In the capital, Yuan Weiting's face also had a little more smile. With the good news of Shaanxi's victory at the bottom, his energy can finally be used in the general election. Zhao Guanhou won two battles and two victories, and both of them were great victories, showing his face to the Beiyang Department, and he was also in the Congress, supporting the scene. The opposition of the southern councillors was much quieter, and in addition, the attitude of the local overseers and the Zhongyang Mansion became more and more deferential.

Lu Ganqing deployed heavy troops on the border of Guizhou and Guangxi, threatening the flanks of Yunnan and Guizhou by force. The 1st Cavalry Brigade of Zhang Yuting's Department outside the gate began to patrol the border area of Rouran to deter the Rouran cavalry. Yan Yishan's silver cart also began to be transported to Shandong, and no one dared to resist the order of the president, which was the real dictatorship of the cadres.

But when he saw Zhao Guanhou's nationwide electricity, he shook his head again, "This kid, it's not good to say something, you have to make such a fuss, it's really dishonest!" ”

Shen Jinying leaned over and gently slapped his shoulders for him

"Guanhou heard that he is in Shaanxi, and he is playing well?"

"Indeed, he fought a war, and it seems that he had two strikes. In addition to this, he also has a good relationship with foreigners, who are willing to help him, purchase arms and foreign rice business, and negotiate several times. In that year, Zuo Ji Gao went to the west, and spent more than 10 million military salaries before and after. The financial resources of the joint are not as good as those of the former gold, and if it really opens so much military salary, I am afraid it will be very difficult. But four or five million, I still took it out, just to see if the crown marquis can use these military salaries to win this battle. It's just a little bad, there is something that doesn't make it clear, and it doesn't make the ghost live. You say that as soon as this telegram comes up, it is as if I am not treating him well. ”

Shen Jinying said: "President, I have to say something for my brother." Even if he can fight again, he will be defeated by two fists and four hands. The Lu army is so many, on other people's land, a large army is surrounding him, no matter how high the means, he can't parry. He asked for help, and it was his right to do so. This is not to say that the president is wrong, but that the provincial overseers are wrong. The four provinces came to aid Shaanxi, but each province only sent one regiment, and the follow-up people, horses, and grain stations saw nothing. Is it possible to let one Shandong beat several provinces? No one can beat that. If I don't agree to bullying my mother's family like this, can it be that if I don't become my brother, I should be angry? ”

Her temper first attacked, and then the conversation changed: "The Lu army can be defeated, and the authority of the president cannot be damaged." Now in the north, we are the Lu army that can suppress the field, and with such a brand, everyone knows that Beiyang has strength in the north, and it is not easy to provoke. But if this sign falls, what are we scary about? In the past, the families of large families failed, but there is a way to go, and they will not sell their ancestral homes. If there is an ancestral house, there will be a façade, and if there is a façade, it will be able to support the foundation. But if even the ancestral house is gone, not only can't borrow debts, but also can't delay the debts you want to delay, then it's really bad. ”

Yuan Weiting couldn't help nodding, "En...... You're right, that's the truth. The brand of Lu Jun really can't be down. What do you think? ”

"Urge the provinces to send troops into Shaanxi as soon as possible, as long as there are too many troops, I think Guanhou can always maintain our dignity. If any province dares to delay any longer, give them a good look. Whether the ten provinces are fighting Shaanxi or several provinces are fighting Shaanxi, all the provinces have to unite as one and listen to the arrangement of the president. Could it be that only Shandong is your territory in the world, and other provinces have been divided? The soldiers from all provinces have gone to Shaanxi, and the grain and supplies have also been sent over, so that the world can see, and the overseers in these places are still under the control of the president, and when it comes to the general election, they will not dare to vote indiscriminately. ”

The last sentence happened to scratch Yuan Weiting's itch, choosing and fighting, since it is one, it is natural to take it seriously. He laughed and hugged Shen Jinying, "You are really my good wife, this sentence is good." Tomorrow, I will personally give an order that the four provinces will come to Shaanxi's aid, and it is urgent to do so. ”

Among the four provinces, the first to enter Shangnan was the troops from neighboring Henan. A brigade originally stationed in Xiangcheng to guard the ancestral tomb of the Yuan family was sent to Shaanxi to support.

This brigade was ordered to protect the spirits, and it was well-equipped, and its military appearance and discipline were also very neat. Coupled with a brigade brought by Zhao Guanhou last time, the troops of the two brigades before and after were already in his hands.

Accompanying the brigade was Zou Xiurong, who was in Henan to raise grain for the Lu army. As soon as he picked her up in the car, Zhao Guanhou complained: "Second sister-in-law, I didn't say you, it's almost the New Year, you are not at home, why did you come here." Shaanxi is not as good as Henan, nor is it as good as Shandong, and it is very poor, and there is nothing to entertain you. Stay here for two days, hurry away, and don't suffer with this. ”

"Huh? I was about to bomb me when I first came, why didn't I invite you like this? Hanzhi, I'll judge her! Zou Xiurong raised her eyebrows, Zhao Guanhou was speechless, she looked at Zhao Guanhou with a smile

"I'm in the newspaper, and I read your news that you won the battle and how many people you killed. I'm really happy for you, but I always read it in the newspaper, it's better to see that I'm relieved, I'll come and see it in person, and I'm at ease. ”

When she came to the temporary station, she greeted Hanzhi and the others all the way, and then said, "I came this time, and I was also entrusted by Shigege to bring you a gift." ”

"What gift?"

"Officer. Another batch of students from the Baoding Military Academy has graduated, and Shigege has sent people to do the work, and more than eighty percent of the graduates have been recruited by us in Shandong. All start from the company platoon commander, and the future promotion depends on the performance. I heard that there is a Zou Hua who is doing a good job here, and these people also defected to him. I don't know anything about war, but I know how to do business. To do business, what you need is a competent shopkeeper, and if you fight, you will inevitably be inseparable from a competent officer. Since Shigege said that they are good people, they must not be wrong, and if they are sent for exercise, they are the family background. ”

At the moment when the Lu army is short of officers. Zhao Guanhou recruited troops in Shangnan and had recruited more than 1,000 young men, all of whom were willing to follow back to Shandong and even to fight in various places, and their physical fitness was also excellent. However, without military training, he is not qualified to go to war.

Intensive training and command all require a mature officer system, and these officers in Baoding just make up for the shortcomings. The new brigade in Henan, plus the previous brigade, and the two brigades also happened to be the main force of Zhao Guanhou's next operation.

The relationship between the two is very familiar, and it is that men and women do not avoid mixing and drinking together, and when they ask about the family, everything is fine in ten grids, and they are about to give birth. The situation in Shandong Province this year is also good, the annual income is slightly lower than last year, but the overall can be maintained. Another point is that Cheng Yue has also begun to take power.

"After all, Shigege has a body, and he can't always work, and Cheng Yue began to ask about the affairs of the army. Ren Sheng is a subordinate of her family, and it is convenient for her to give orders. A tie is sent by the girl, and Ren Sheng will do it. I just learned that Cheng Yue's handwriting is so good. ”

Zhao Guanhou asked, "What are her orders?" ”

"It's nothing, just let Ren be promoted to Huaishang, recruited thousands of people, formed a supplementary regiment, bought guns from the arsenal, and began to practice. The name of the Cheng family is easy to use, and Shandong is a rich province, so it is easy to recruit troops. ”

Jiang Fengzhi slapped the table, "It's against her!" Who gave her the power to pay for it! With so many soldiers and so many guns, how much does it cost! ”

Zou Xiurong glanced at her, "Don't make trouble!" You have to change your temper, Cheng Yue sold her dowry, and she used all the self-defense money that Guanhou gave her. Where it is not enough, use the money borrowed from Zhengyuan in your own name to recruit this army, which is ready to be sent to Shaanxi to help Guanhou fight, you are not allowed to shout indiscriminately. ”

She looked at Zhao Guanhou again, "Fourth, a woman has done this for you, she is already benevolent and righteous, if you lose Cheng Yue, the second sister-in-law is here, I won't spare you first!" ”

Su Hanzhi looked at Zhao Guanhou, "You go and take a telegram and ask her to come to Shangnan as soon as possible." I know your mind, you don't want women to be in danger, you have to fight with several enemies, you want us to go as far as possible. But since she is your wife, she should share blessings and misfortunes with you, and if you drive us away, we will feel uncomfortable. Cheng Yue wanted to come, and she was willing to come. It's the second sister-in-law, don't stay long, after all, we fight more with less, and it's not safe here. ”

Zou Xiurong smiled and grabbed Su Hanzhi's hand, "You can't give up your man, can't the second sister-in-law give up you?" I'm going to stay here, but I want to see how far those bandits in the gate can go! ”

In the city of Qiangbai County, the atmosphere is completely different from that of Shangnan. The entire county was enveloped in an atmosphere of despair. The once elated swordsman has become bowed his head and shrunk, and because the weather is getting colder and colder, the thinly dressed soldiers have become more and more reluctant to leave the room, and even standing guard and sentry are trying to escape.

There were no cotton clothes, no military salaries, and there was not enough wine and meat, and the morale of the monarch of salvation declined rapidly, and the number of deserters gradually increased.

This is not necessarily a bad thing for Guo Jian's department, as soon as there are more deserters, the food expenditure will be less, and there will be less pressure on his overstretched material situation. Compared with the shortage of supplies and despair, it is more deadly.

The record of the Lu army destroying the 20,000 horses of the Gan army in an hour has already spread in Guobu, and there are many people who have returned from the battle of Tongguan, and this news cannot be suppressed at all.

If it is said that in the battle of Shangnan, it was the White Wolf Army that was defeated, there is still an explanation. The 20,000 horse team was killed so easily, which was obviously beyond the psychological acceptance range of Guo Jian's subordinates. The invincible image of the Lu army has been established in the hearts of some Guo soldiers, they are not afraid of death, but they do not want to find death, and it is naturally a great thing to be able to avoid such a fierce god.

Moreover, the Lu army not only did not fight less and less, but fought more and more. The spies in the direction of Tongguan reported that since the battle of Tongguan, military vehicles have come and gone frequently, and every day they either bring in soldiers or supplies and military supplies. Henan, Hubei, Anhui, Hunan, and several provincial troops entered Shaanxi one after another. If it goes on like this, it won't take long, and even the number of people will not be able to gain the upper hand of the Salvation King, how can this battle be fought?

The Salvation Monarch was originally armed by swordsmen, many of whom were green forest bandits, or some martial arts practitioners, and some local heroes. Each leader represents the interests of a small hill.

Guo Jian relied on his righteousness and martial arts to become their leader, that is, the leader of the alliance. When this alliance leader leads everyone to get rich and eat meat, it is naturally all right, but when their alliance leader becomes weaker and weaker the more they fight, these small leaders below must consider their own small group and find a way out for them.

Those who did not run away were not in a much better mood, complaining and scolding, or regretting, and all kinds of afterthought spread among the troops.

In the county yamen, Yang Yuzhu was dressed in a line, singing Guo Jian's favorite bowl and bowl on the stage, Guo Jian's two eyes were bloodshot, his face was tense, his hands were gripping the armrests of the chair, and he didn't say a word. Next to him was a stout man with a long scar on his face, like a centipede. looked at Yuzhu and couldn't stop clapping.

"Miss Yang is worthy of being a flower in the land of Sanqin, and she is blessed, holding her sleepy, and not changing it for an emperor. If you want to say that these people are the most blessed, but now, you are the poorest in life. What do you think about what I told you? In a word, 10,000 stone of grain can be delivered immediately. As long as you accept the adaptation, like me, change the banner and become a regular army, then Zhao Guanhou will no longer be able to beat you. Don't the Beiyang soldiers fight the Beiyang soldiers? ”

"What about the vote?" Guo Jian gritted his teeth and said these words, his face was still as heavy as iron.

"The baby is also an old Jianghu, why do you ask questions like a mallet. If you don't submit your name, how can you go up the mountain and join the house. I can't say where I go, anyway, you and him are old, you don't have any relatives or reasons, and if you do him, what is it. Talking about righteousness, it is also divided into a time, and now it looks like a bird, and I don't think about myself, are you a melon? ”

"That's right, I, Guo Zhenjun, am a melon, but I have one, I don't sell friends!" Guo Jian stood up violently and shouted: "Don't sing! Your play is for your friends, not for this kind of person! Our five-way alliance army is an alliance of blood and anti-Yuan to save the country. There is Guo Jian who died in battle, and Zhenjun who did not surrender, come here, send off guests! Tell Yan Wenxiang, Zhao Guanhou, Guo Jian is here, if you want to kill, just do it, frown, you are not a hero! It's better to see who has the best skills in the end. (To be continued.) )
