Jiang Momi's new order was dumbfounded as soon as Jinghui arrived. He really didn't expect Kanchuan to give him a dismount.

"You...... Why do you take me? ”

Zhang Jinghui was stunned and struggled hard, but attracted two more guards, and the four guards worked together to press him to the floor of the carriage.

"Why did you take it?"

Wu Guangxin sneered, pointed to the outside of the carriage, and his face sank, which made Zhang Jinghui's scalp tighten.

"As the commander of the Shanhaiguan garrison, you actually collected taxes from businessmen and people without authorization, and occupied the tax bureau and railway station, and brazenly withheld the taxes that should be paid to the center. Just now you ordered the salute to be fired again, I counted, Xi more than 21 shots, this salute should be fired a few cannons that are particular, 21 shots have cannons, this can only be released when the president of the Republic of China arrives, I am just the commander of an infantry division, you actually use more than 21 salutes to welcome me, what the hell do you want to do? Do you want me to borrow it? His heart can be punished! If this is put in the past, you will be a sin of the Nine Clans! ”

Zhang Jinghui's face turned pale. was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time, he kindly fired a cannon to welcome the arrival of this Wu division commander, but the other party didn't appreciate it, but instead seized the matter of this salute and made a fuss, isn't this a bone in the egg? As soon as he came up, he gave him a dismount, and this Wu Guangxin was too deceitful.

"Master Wu, we are a big old man, we don't understand those rules, I thought that the more salutes the better, who would have wanted to commit a taboo, Master Wu has a large number of people, and he knows that he is wrong."

Under the eaves, he had to bow his head, and Xiao Zhang Jinghui was not a flexible person who didn't understand, so he took out this soft word immediately. As for Wu Guangxin's first reason for detaining him, Zhang Jinghui deliberately did not mention it.

"You also know that you are a rough man, but since you are a rough man, why do you want to learn from Sven? Wu doesn't look down on rough people. Wu just looks down on those who insult Sven. ”

Wu Guangxin pulled around, making Zhang Jinghui a little dazed in his heart, he didn't know whether the other party detained him to make his own opinion, or whether it was the central authority, if it was the central authority, I am afraid that even if he Zhang Jinghui lived to the end, he would naturally be worried in his heart.

"Let him get up and speak."

Wu Guangxin motioned for the guards to let Zhang Jinghui stand up, then took a map of Shanhaiguan from an adjutant and looked at it. Whispered a few words with a staff officer.

"Zhang Jinghui, I heard that your troops have occupied the best barracks in the city? Now the old division is about to rush to Shanhaiguan, and there is no place to settle down, what do you say? ”

The meaning of Wu Guangxin's words is very clear, Zhang Jinghui can't hear it, and he hates it in his heart, but the words he says are very deferential.

"The lowly Lixuan ordered to vacate the barracks in the city and give it to Master Wu and the brothers of Master 1." Zhang Jinghui said.

"So, where are you stationed?" Wu Guangxin asked.

"There are still some dilapidated barracks outside the city, which can still be inhabited by repairs, and since the Yu division has rushed to Shanhaiguan, then. The lowly team can be transferred back to Guanwai, but if it doesn't work, I'll take the team to Jinzhou. ”

Zhang Jinghui said that he was going to do it, but this was the truth, now that he can no longer collect taxes from Shanhaiguan, then there is really nothing to be nostalgic about here, or to be a soil emperor outside the customs is comfortable, at least he doesn't have to be angry with this Wu master, and he won't be frightened.

Since Wu Guangxin said so, then this shows that he was just bluffing just now, not playing with him Zhang Jinghui on the orders of the central government, but because he Zhang Jinghui is an officer of the Republic of China, and detaining him without an order is a rebellion.

Therefore, Zhang Jinghui's hanging heart was relaxed, but he saw clearly that he could only suffer from the loss of his subordinates when he collided with this person.

"I'll give you an hour to vacate the barracks."

Wu Guangxin waved his hand. Even if Zhang Jinghui was released, and he had no intention of getting off the bus to meet those industrial and commercial representatives and celebrities, the welcome ceremony at the railway station ended hastily.

Zhang Jinghui left the train station in disgrace, gathered his subordinates, and ordered them to evacuate the barracks in the city within half an hour. The Shanhaiguan suddenly jumped for a while, and the people who did not know the inside even thought that there had been a mutiny, and in order to prevent being caught again, Zhang Jinghui personally shot a few soldiers who took the opportunity to rob the people, and the guns in the city rang out, and the people's hearts were even more frightened, the doors of every house were closed, the business was closed, and in broad daylight, the Shanhaiguan became empty, and only those Wehrmacht troops who drove out of the railway station and marched to the barracks showed that the order in the city was still under control.

Zhang Jinghui drove out of the city with the team and drove to the old barracks of the Yi Army in the northern suburbs of the city, but he didn't go far out of the city, and he saw a team inside, everyone riding fast horses outside the gate. The first person was none other than Zhang Zuoshuang, the commander of the 16th Division of the Beiyang Army and the guard of Liaoning.

Zhang Zuoshuang rushed to Shanhaiguan to meet Wu Guangxin at the same time, and he didn't dare to stop along the way. finally rushed to the city of Shanhaiguan. was about to go to the barracks to rest and recuperate, but before he entered the city, he saw Zhang Jinghui being driven out of the city.

Zhang Zuoshuang saw Zhang Jinghui's face, and hurriedly asked what was going on, Zhang Jinghui told the truth, and naturally he couldn't help but complain about it. Zhang Zuoshuang can only comfort each other with good words, after all, their current strength is weak, and it is completely insufficient to fight against the center, Zhang Zuoshuang is now just waiting to see what the "Guangdong Incident" will develop. Let's see if the center has the strength to quell the chaos in the south, so now he really doesn't dare to openly confront the people sent by the center.

"Brother Xuwu, you take the team to the old barracks first, and I'll talk to you later. Now I'm going to rush to see Wu Guangxin, who doesn't know the height of the sky, no matter what, we have to catch up with the hub before Wu Junsheng and Feng Delin to talk to the center, with the center to support us, we will have the confidence when we fight against Wu Junsheng and Feng Delin. ”

Zhang Zuoshuang, Ding asked Zhang Jinghui a few words, and then galloped into Shanhaiguan to see Wu Guangxin.

At this time, Wu Guangxin was already arranging the defense matters in the barracks, and when he heard that Zhang Zuoshuang was coming to visit, although he was surprised by the speed of the other party's action, he didn't take the other party very seriously, after all, he was the division commander sent by the center, and he was a hard backer. The background is deep, and it is by no means comparable to a few horse bandit leaders outside the gate.

Walking into the headquarters with Wu Guangxin's adjutant, Zhang Zuoshuang realized that he was not the first guest from outside the customs and mouth that Wu Guangxin met, and at this time, Wu Guangxin was sitting with Zhang Tingzan

Zhang Tingzan is a wing commander of the "dark horse team" in Rehe, and he has fought bandits on the grassland with Zhang Zuoshuang in the past, and the two know each other, but they can't say that they have any friendship.

The so-called "black horse team" is a cavalry unit with a piece of mouth, because the horses ridden by officers and soldiers are all black, so it is named "black horse team", this cavalry unit is stationed in the Rehe area outside the mouth all the year round, because there are eight battalions, so it is also called "eight battalions outside the mouth"

After the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, in order to strengthen the connection with the Mongolian princes, the Qing Dynasty emperor would go to Rehe every summer to take refuge in the summer. Returning to Beijing in early autumn, the Qing emperor and the Mongol princes gathered in Rehe to hunt and play. In this way, they will cultivate feelings and strengthen the ties between Manchu and Mongolia in order to maintain stability in the steppe areas. However, with the decline of the dynasty, in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing emperors did not go to Rehe much to escape the summer, and the Mongol princes usually rushed to Beijing to meet them, and would stay in Rehe for a few days on the way to rest.

In order to stabilize the situation, eight Jin merchants led by the Jin merchants Qiaojia, Yunjia and Zeng came forward, each contributing 10,000 taels of silver, a total of 80,000 taels, and handed them over to the magistrates, and used the funds to form a cavalry force to maintain local law and order.1 This is the origin of the "dark horse team". Since then, it is precisely because of the co-payment of these Jin merchants. Rehe had its own army, and although it was not a state-supported army, it was enough to ensure local security.

This cavalry unit was supported by Jin merchants. Therefore, the rise and fall of Jin merchant trading is directly related to the life and death of this army, in recent years. The rise of banks, the decline of Jin merchants, coupled with the turmoil of the situation. The strength of Shanxi businessmen has been greatly reduced, and they have deliberately retreated from outside the mouth, so the source of military salaries for this "dark horse team" has become a problem.

Seeing that Zhang Zuoshuang also rushed over. Zhang Tingzan hurriedly got up to greet him, and after a few polite words between the two sides, he met Wu Guangxin again, but Wu Guangxin was not as polite as Zhang Tingzan, and he came up to be a dismount.

"Master Zhang. Recently, bandits have been rampant outside the gates, what are your troops doing for food? It's all rice buckets

Wu Guangxin's words were simply pointing at the monk and scolding the thief for being bald, Zhang Zuoshuang pulled his face down at that time, if it wasn't for Wang Yongjiang behind him who hurriedly took over for him, I'm afraid he would have a seizure on the spot

。

"Master Wu Junjian. Bandits outside the border advocated care, this is the situation that fell when Japan and Russia started the war, and it was a little calmer in the past few years. However, since the revolution, a large number of troops outside the border have gone south to fight, and there is no one to suppress the localities, so this bandit problem has naturally intensified, but now the 16th Division is attacking the bandits in various places under the command of Zhang Zhen's envoy, and I believe that it will not be long before the bandit trouble in this area will be eliminated. ”

Wang Yongjiang seems to have some truth in what he said. But the main reason why Wu Guangxin sent a horse to Zhang Zuoshuang was not for the bandits outside the border, but for other purposes.

"Most of the bandits outside the pass galloped on horseback, and the infantry was difficult to fight, and now the center was determined to suppress the bandits in the northeast, which required the formation of cavalry. However, the central financial difficulties made it impossible to raise so many war horses for a while, and wanted to buy horses from abroad, but the price of horses was high because of rampant banditry. Now the center has sent Wu to lead the army to be stationed in Shanhaiguan, just to go out of the customs to suppress bandits, the center wants me to raise at least 2,000 good horses within a month, I am at a loss, if I can't form a cavalry unit, I can't go out of the customs to suppress bandits, just rely on the rabble of your 16th division, when will I be able to exterminate those bandits outside the pass? ”

Wu Guangxin's this is clearly blackmail. Zhang Zuoshuang and Wang Yongjiang are very clear in their hearts.

Wang Yongjiang pulled the tension to make frost. Xiang Wu Guangxin said: "Division Commander Wu doesn't have to worry, our sixteenth division has many war horses, and two thousand war beggars are not a problem, as long as Division Commander Wu has a few kind words on the center, these two thousand war horses." Our sixteenth division offered it with both hands. ”

When Zhang Zuoshuang heard this, his heart twitched, the two thousand war horses were brought by him not long ago, and they were ready to equip Zhang Jinghui's troops, but now, Wang Yongjiang said a few words lightly. gave these war horses to Wu Guangxin, which inevitably tasted a bit generous to others.

However, Zhang Zuoshuang also understands that at this time, Wu Guangxin really can't be offended. Otherwise, it's hard to explain on the central side, after all. Now that the status of the monarch and the minister has been decided, he doesn't take the center in his eyes, once the center solves the Guangdong incident, then, maybe the next step is to clean him up.

"Yes, our 16th Division still has more war horses, which can be handed over to Division Commander Wu to equip the 1st Division." Zhang Zuoshuang also hurriedly echoed Wang Yongjiang's words.

But Wu Guangxin shook his head and said: "The 1st Wounded Division of the National Defense Force is an infantry division, and I don't need so many war horses, I asked for these two thousand war horses for others." ”

"Someone else? And the troops are going to Shanhaiguan? Zhang Zuoshuang's heart sank, and the center dispatched troops like this. It's really scary.

"In two days, the Independent Cavalry Division will be transferred from Henan to Shanhaiguan, but they are not stationed in Shanhaiguan, and after they rest in Shanhaiguan for a few days, they will be transferred to the Dongmeng area."

Speaking of this, Wu Guangxin glanced at Zhang Tingzan who was standing on the side.

"Commander Zhang Yi, I will send a telegram to the War Department immediately, and as soon as the Independent Cavalry Division comes, your Black Horse Team can be incorporated into the Independent Cavalry Division, and the military salary and treatment will be the central management in the future. However, if you enter the independent cavalry division, you must also abide by the rules, it is the president's elite troops, and it will be of great use in the future. ”

"Please rest assured, Master Wu, the dark horse team has no other skills, but this ability to fight on horseback is not blown, we have been for so many years. I have a lot of dealing with Mongolian bandits, they will be capable, and so will our dark horse team! As long as the center supports the waist. It won't be long before we can drive all the Mongolian bandits on the grassland to Outer Mongolia! ”

Zhang Tingzan was not timid, and shouted twice with an oath, which was also happy in his heart, after all, once he joined the independent cavalry division. Then, the "dark horse team" of this Rehe is an upright government army, and it is also the imperial food that eats. You don't have to be called around by those businessmen.

Zhang Zuoshuang and Wang Yongjiang glanced at each other, and both of them understood in their hearts that the center was probably going to make up its mind to solve the problem of Mongolian bandits in Inner Mongolia this time, and listening to the meaning of Wu Guangxin's words, the center seemed to plan to take this opportunity to exercise the actual combat ability of the independent cavalry division.
