When Zhang Jizhong was pushed into the barracks, his nose and face were swollen from being beaten, and his military uniform was also tattered, and when he saw Zhao Guanhou and Luo Xiaoxiao, he immediately shouted: "Big handsome, Miss Luo, this is all a misunderstanding." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Let's not fight together, Beiyang doesn't fight Beiyang, we are our own people." It is the small one who has no eyes and no beads, offending the big handsome, please raise the noble hand and leave a way for the small one to live. The little one is willing to make meritorious contributions, I know Zhang Zongyao's details, and I don't waste my efforts to solve him! Our brothers, all listen to us, as long as you spare my life, I will let the brothers follow the handsome. That's more than 10,000 soldiers, and they don't need to be trained, and they can be pulled to the battlefield. In Zhang Zongyao, there are more than 10,000 of me, and I can pull them over with a word and follow the big handsome. ”

Zhao Guanhou glanced at Luo Xiaoxiao, "Miss Luo, take a look, is this person Zhang Jizhong?" It can't be that my people caught the wrong one, right? ”

Luo Xiaoxiao's face was frosty, and her body trembled slightly, "That's right!" He is the famous bandit Mao Sizhong in our province! He's a villain! Bandit! Murderer! Even if he burns to ashes, I can recognize him! He has 20,000 minions in his hands, and he has countless blood debts. Dashuai, on behalf of Sanxiang fathers, please give us justice! ”

Zhao Guanhou smiled and said: "I understand, I just want Miss Luo to confirm whether this person is wrong, since it is right, it will be easy to do." I won't kill this person for the time being, I have to wait until Master Luo comes, and then deal with it. As for his men...... Miss Luo, you may not know that we have a large number of mines in Shandong, and each mine requires a large number of laborers to mine. In addition, I am now repairing water conservancy in Anhui, which is also a project that requires manpower. The Ministry of Communications is also building railways, which is also a very labor-intensive job, so many strong laborers, are valuable resources can not be wasted, our labor in Shandong is very expensive. ”

Although the treatment of workers in Shandong has dropped sharply with the economic depression, their own income is still quite considerable. In particular, heavy physical and high-risk projects such as mining, digging rivers, and building railways not only have high salaries, but also have a certain amount of bereavement benefits after death.

However, this is limited to workers who are legally recruited, such as prisoners of war, criminals, or illegal workers. These construction sites have always welcomed such captured workers, and thus formed a gray chain of interests.

A soldier can get three yuan for a prisoner of war handed over to the construction site, and because the river work and the railroad are a common cause, it is more conscientious, and a prisoner of war is given five yuan. The cavalry division captured more than 7,000 prisoners of war this time, and conservatively estimated that more than 20,000 yuan were also accounted for. It is no wonder that the First Division has many complaints about Zhang Huaizhi, the division commander.

Luo Xiaoxiao listened to it with relish, and finally couldn't help but laugh, "I really didn't expect that there was still this method of dealing with prisoners of war, I haven't heard of this at home or at school." The Lu army is indeed different from all the troops I have seen, whether it is Zhang Zongyao's bandits, or the Hunan and Guizhou coalition army, or the people's army, they do not have the momentum of the Lu army. I now believe that the Lu army does have the power to save the Hunan fathers and elders and change the fate of the Hunan villagers. Guanshuai, if you can, can you tell me about your method of governing the army, so that I can learn it? ”

Zhao Guanhou said with a smile: "Miss Luo likes to wear clothes, it seems that she is still interested in the military?" ”

"Not bad. We are weak in our armed forces, which is why we have been deceived by the great powers. There is only one Lu army in the world, and it is always alone, and it is difficult to make great achievements. If the troops of the whole country are like the Lu army, then who in the whole world dares to underestimate China? The Hunan army built by the ancestors made a name for itself in the pre-Jin era. Although I am a woman, I also want to follow the example of my ancestors and build a new Hunan army! However, the military knowledge mastered by my family has lagged behind this era, and only according to the standards of the Lu army can we create a force that truly meets the requirements of the new era. ”

"Our Lu Army, not everyone can learn it!" A woman's voice sounded at the door, Sun Meiyao held a whip in her right hand, and gently tapped it in the palm of her left hand, and her riding boots stepped on the ground, and the sound of boots was loud. She deliberately straightened up her already towering chest, looked at Luo Xiaoxiao defiantly, and after coming to Zhao Guanhou's side, she took his arm

"Daddy, some people take our Lu Jun too simply. I thought that if I learned the means, I would be able to train the soldiers to become the Lu army, but I, the commander of the cavalry division, couldn't listen to it. It is not so easy to train the troops into a Lu army. How much suffering, how much sin, how much blood have we shed? Want to compare yourself to us? ”

Luo Xiaoxiao was not angry but happy, her eyes fell on Sun Meiyao's epaulettes and the medal watch on her chest, "Lieutenant General? You're the first female lieutenant general in our association, General Sun, right? I've seen your name in Tessie's newspaper, and the poems you wrote. Distant Mount Tai, showing a gloomy figure; The thick foundation supports the shallow high-rise ...... is really worthy of being the first female general, and the poems she writes are really imposing. ”

Seeing that she looked like she admired herself and praised her poems, Sun Meiyao's jealousy was greatly reduced, she threw away the whip, and took the initiative to take Luo Xiaoxiao's hand, "Sister, do you really like my poems?" Wata's father gave me a book of poems, and I'll give you a copy when I get back. That Taishan poem made the foreign devils change it messily, and it didn't sound good. I also recently made a song of lightning, you listen, a fire refining from the sky, could it be that the Jade Emperor wants to smoke; If you don't want to smoke, why is it a fire trial? ”

"Mei Yao...... Miss Luo is a scholar of Western literature, and it would be more appropriate for you to talk to her about the difference between Western classical and modern poetry, or to talk about Western literature and drama. Miss Luo, Mei Yao likes to joke, don't mind. ”

Sun Meiyao didn't realize that her husband was relieving herself, but she smiled and said: "Sister, I have made a lot of poems, and I will send you new ones when I go back." If you want to learn from our Lu army to train soldiers, it's either not impossible, or it's not easy to learn. You first have to have a chief of staff who loves to scold, it's hard to find......"

Zhao Guanhou interrupted her, "Mei Yao, you came to me, what's the matter?" ”

"Look at my brain, as soon as I talk to my sister, I delay the business. The little leopard took the cavalry and occupied Yuezhou. ”

"Yuezhou?" Luo Xiaoxiao was taken aback again, Yuezhou is an old foundation built by Wu Jingfu during the town guard, there are relatively complete city defense fortifications, the strength of the town guarding Yuezhou has two brigades, Zhang Zongtang is Zhang Zongyao's brother, loyal and safe, the troops are extremely well-equipped, there are more than fifteen cannons alone, which is obviously a hard bone. Even if the Lu army can fight, why will it take a few days to determine the winner and loser, how can it be taken so quickly?

Sun Meiyao had already said to herself at this time: "Wu Xintian, the brigade commander who guards Yuezhou, decided to lead the troops to arrest Zhang Zongtang anyway. Now send a telegram, please hurry up and enter the city. ”

Luo Xiaoxiao was taken aback, "Dashuai, Wu Xintian is also a thief's favorite general, how can he be backlash?" Caution is a trick to lure the enemy. ”

Zhao Guanhou smiled: "Lure the enemy? You also have to have this capital! I'm going to meet him and see if he can come up with any tricks. Mei Yao led the cavalry division to quickly take over Yuezhou, and let Wu Xintian's troops go out of the city to wait for reorganization. The first brigade of Zhang Zongtang's department was temporarily under the command of Wu. ”

When Zhao Guanhou rushed to Yuezhou with Li Zongyun's brigade, Wu Xintian had already lined up outside the city with the Yuezhou Chamber of Commerce and the gentry. In addition to these people, the senior generals of the cavalry division, Luo Xiaoxiao's father, and celebrities from all walks of life in education, industry and commerce, and literature in Hunan are all here.

More than half of the upper-class people in Hunan society gathered in Yuezhou. Behind him, a huge banner was hung "Welcome Zhao Guanshuai, expel Zhang toadstool". The atmosphere of the welcome meeting was grand and warm, and just looking at these people, we could be sure that Wu Xintian was definitely not a fraud.

Father and daughter reunited, the rest of their lives after the catastrophe. Luo Xiaoxiao ran away from home in order to get rid of the poisonous hands, tossed and turned along the way, and suffered some grievances, and now when she sees her relatives again, she can't help but throw herself into her father's arms and cry loudly. Luo Chongxuan comforted his daughter, and at the same time gave Zhao Guanhou a salute, "The children of Sanxiang are looking forward to the crown and handsome, just like He Miao is looking forward to nectar, as soon as the handsome heavenly soldiers arrive, my Sanxiang father and elder will be saved." Under the rule of Guanshuai, Hunan will surely be reborn. ”

"Luo Weng is polite, Zhao is an outsider, and he went to Hunan only to hang the people and fight crimes, not to grab territory. Hunan is the Hunan of Hunan people, and Shandong will not arrange officials in Hunan, nor will it seek positions. The military salary is the ideal method of Manager Zhengyuan Du and Zou Xiang of the Cooperative Bank, and as for the military rations, we will pay them according to the price. ”

The gentry originally believed that the Lu army entered Hunan Province, similar to Zhang Zongyao, and also asked for money, food, and women. The difference is that the Lu army has always had a good reputation, such as loving the people, abiding by discipline, and being a gentleman. Including Taixi's newspaper, they also praised the discipline of the Lu army, which was much stronger than Zhang Toadstool. No, the truth is even better than imagined, Zhao Guanhou is as holy as an angel, and he actually wants money and food, not an official position. Probably what the Romance of the Three Kingdoms lover said is true, only one beauty is enough to make the Lu army retreat?

This attitude easily won the favor of the local gentry in Hunan. They drove Zhang, of course, because they were too much for Zhang, but on the other hand, they also hoped to benefit from it. If you can use Zhang Zhang to step onto the stage of integrity and have local power, who will let go of this opportunity? If you want to grasp power, you must first master military strength, and at present, the Lu army is the first in the common force, who will you fight if you don't tie it up? When the Lu army entered the city, these merchants and squires became the partners of the Lu army, and they were willing to join hands to drive Zhang and contribute.

They don't have the ability to deal with Zhang Zongyao, but their influence at the local level should not be underestimated. For example, the raising of military rations and the requisition and deployment of military supplies all need the help of capable people who are familiar with public opinion and familiar with them in the locality.

Although Lu Jun said that he did not seek any benefits, the gentry were not stupid, and they would not give Lu Jun any benefits, so why should Lu Jun work for Hunan? If Hunan really does not provide any material assistance, the Lu army may retreat if it loses a lot, but these gentry can't escape, and everyone will still be unlucky at that time?

Moreover, the meaning revealed in Zhao Guanhou's words is that the future Hunan overseers and provincial governors will be served by the Hunan people themselves, supporting the Hunan people's view of governing Hunan that the Hunan academic circles and the Zhengjie are now calling for. This proposal is very difficult to pass in the main government, and it can only be supported by powerful people like Zhao Guanhou to form a fact. With the strength of the Lu army, whoever Zhao Guanshuai expresses his support for is likely to ascend to the provincial throne. Even if it is for his own future, he has to express something to Lu Jun.

Luo Chongxuan took the lead in expressing his attitude, "The crown is handsome and righteous, which makes my generation admire." My son of Sanxiang, am I an ungrateful person? Luo is not talented, he is willing to destroy his family to relieve difficulties, donate 5,000 stones of rice, and make military rations for Brother Lu Jun. ”

"Brother Luo, good things can't be done by your family, although the younger brother is not as rich as the Luo family, but for the province to eliminate traitors, he will never be left behind, and he is willing to donate 3,000 stone of military rations."

"Not only military rations, we should set up a coalition of thieves, set up a quartermaster office, a liaison office, a fundraising office, and a training office. We can't let the Lu Jun brothers shed blood and sacrifice for our Hunan people. I also have bloody men in Sanxiang, as long as Guanshuai can support some guns and ammunition, my Hunan people can also go to the battlefield to kill the enemy! ”

The meeting was held very enthusiastically, and it didn't take long for the gentry to accept the donation of 20,000 stone of military rations. Although the food did not arrive, since these people have spoken, they will definitely be able to deliver. Zhao Guanhou also said that he would not interfere in Hunan's internal affairs, but would definitely provide assistance to Hunan's current situation.

Jensen, Zou Xiurong, and Du Xiaoxiao, the three goddesses of wealth, can quickly raise millions of yuan to pay all the salaries of all teachers and staff in Hunan. As for the Hunan mines and yarn factories that were stolen and sold by Zhang Zongyao, Lu Jun came forward to recover them from the Fusang people. The merchants raised funds to redeem the sold minerals, and as for this part of the expenses, they could file a lawsuit against Zhang Zongyao for recovery in the future.

A series of systems were promulgated, which made the gentry realize that Zhao Guanhou really did not plan to make a fortune in Hunan, but came to be a good money boy. In addition, although these gentry may not have the ability to fight, they are extremely proficient in human affairs, and they found that the relationship between Zhao Guanhou and Luo Chongxuan was respect, not closeness. It is very different from ordinary sons-in-law and fathers-in-law, that is...... Miss Luo is either not favored, or she is not married to Zhao Guanshuai at all?

Although I don't believe that such a big beauty can leave the barracks cleanly, but the facts are here, which makes the gentry have more calculations in their hearts. After all, if a provincial seat is there, who won't fight? How many compassionate people can become big businessmen or rich people in Hunan Province?

When the reception banquet was over, it was already evening, and Zhao Guanhou summoned the brigade commander Wu Xintian for questioning. His brigade has been disarmed and placed in the custody of the Lu army. Now the security in the city is completely under the responsibility of the Lu army. This empty brigade commander actually didn't even know the guards, and the gentry didn't greet him much, so Wu Xintian's own mood was naturally uneasy. came to Zhao Guanhou, first gave a salute, and then said:

"Crown Shuai, damn it. Please raise your noble hand and spare the life of the little one. The little swears that from now on, he will be a pawn in front of the handsome horse, with a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, without frowning! ”

"Needless to say, you are from the regular army of the Communist Party, and the status of brigade commander is also granted by the Ministry of War, and you are a recognized major general, which is different from those bandits of the Zhang family. What about that Zhang Zongtang, did you catch it? ”

"Zhang Sishuai is still in prison, Guanshuai has not come, we dare not deal with it at will. I didn't touch him for the time being. During this time, the little one has been personally arranging people to guard him, but he is afraid that Zhang Zongtang will be beaten to death, and it will be difficult to make peace with Zhang Zongyao. ”

"Peace? Did I say I made peace with him? ”

Wu Xintian hurriedly said: "Damn it, it's a lowly job." It's just that he thinks that there are still tens of thousands of soldiers under Zhang Zongyao's subordinates, and the army of the commander is far away, and he is not accustomed to the water and soil. Besides, if two tigers fight, one will be injured, and Guanshuai has no intention of taking the land of Hunan, so why should he damage the northern army for the southerners? According to the humble opinion, it is better to negotiate peace. Zhang Zongtang is in our hands, no matter what conditions you offer, Zhang Zongyao will agree. We asked him to subsidize the military expenses and hand over the defensive ground, and he would never refuse. The crown commander will not suffer. ”

Zhao Guanhou sneered, "Wu Luzuo is very calculating, don't bother, I have my own plans for Zhang Zongyao, you take me to see Zhang Sishuai, I have something to say to him." ”
