Jingli's telegram, of course, was not sent specifically to disgust the marshal Wang, but the rebellion of the Shi Xingchuan brigade, which reminded Duan Zhiquan. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoIf the Lu army enters Hunan regardless of it, maybe the Seventh Division will also mutiny.

After Tang Tianxi attacked and killed Ma Jizeng, the two troops fought chaotically, and Zhang Zongyao benefited from the fish and absorbed a large number of defeated troops. Although it is nominally the number of a division, the actual strength is one and a half divisions, nearly 30,000 troops. The equipment is well-equipped, and the troops have a large number of old foundations from the six towns of Beiyang, which is quite combative.

In troubled times, a gun is the king of grass, Zhang Zongyao has many shortcomings, but he is not incompetent. His father was the leader of the twisted bandits in Huaishang, Zhang Zongyao grew up in such a family, and it was natural that he learned the skills of his father's generation and the habits of his father's generation.

To put it simply, it's just a mischief, and there is no king's law, but it's very capable of fighting. caused a big disaster in Shaanxi, and then was protected by Li Xiushan again, not simply by relying on relationships, to a large extent, because he could indeed lead troops to fight. In terms of leading troops, Li Xiushan is not as good as Zhang Zongyao.

Before Yuan Weiting's death, due to financial pressure, it was difficult to guarantee the salary of most local troops except for rich provinces such as Shandong. Zhang Zongyao relied on the method of wandering on the edge of the system or even simply robbing, so that his soldiers could have military salaries and fill their stomachs, and in this era, some soldiers were willing to follow him. Therefore, although the cohesion of his troops cannot be compared with that of the Lu army, it is not scattered.

Relying on the annexation of friendly and neighboring troops, the absorption of local evildoers, as well as stragglers and bandits, Zhang Zongyao's troops gradually expanded. He has a kind of sensitivity that belongs to bandits, and he realized earlier: troubled times are coming. The old rules no longer apply, only the barrel of the gun can decide everything.

Of course, relying solely on guns is not a long-term solution, he also needs backers. Luckily, it's not hard to find. Because of his Anhui nationality and the power at hand, he easily caught up with Duan Zhiquan's line. After Duan became the general manager, he immediately gave him a heavy gift and turned his back on Li Xiushan and threw himself into Anhui.

Although Duan Zhiquan's subordinates have some strength, they will definitely not reject a force like Zhang Zongyao who can fight. Not only was he exempted from all his previous crimes, but the troops he recruited were also established, and they were also paid military salaries and replenished with weapons. After the start of the war against the south, Zhang Zongyao took the initiative to ask Ying, and the four brothers of the family waved their troops into Hunan.

This kind of behavior can be seen as either retribution or for one's own turf. Although the nominal overseer is Fu Liangfu, this nest is not in Zhang Zongyao's eyes at all, and he believes that he can completely empty this overseer and replace him.

With so many troops, there must be a piece of territory to eat, and with the mentality of fighting the world, Zhang Zongyao's troops fought far more bravely than other Beiyang troops. Even Fu Liangfu became a fugitive overseer, and after the two divisions of Fan and Wang withdrew from the battle, Zhang Zongyao almost relied on the strength of one of his divisions to recover the decline and push the southern army back little by little.

As soon as he arrived in Wuchang, he sent telegrams that killed the enemy and caused him to be as happy as he was, and his subsequent behavior was as famous as his telegrams, which were known for causing death and terror. The people of Hunan originally had a good impression of Beiyang because of Wu Ziyu's strict military discipline when he was stationed in Yuezhou. However, since Zhang Zongyao entered Hunan Province, his attitude towards the north has completely changed.

The reaction of the people is not seen in the capital, or it is not cared about at all. What Duan Zhiquan saw was that he had great achievements in killing the people, and it was impossible to slaughter his compatriots. Especially in the anti-war defeat and retreat on the front line, the Seventh Division stood alone. Let him feel that this kind of army can be called a descendant, and only a descendant can be worthy of reuse. In order to show his attention, he was specially appointed as the supervisor of the suppression of bandits in Hunan, Hubei, Suzhou, and Henan provinces as a remuneration commission.

The tiger put on its wings, and the thief broke free from the cage, causing even more harm

Zhang Zongyao's trust in Zongli is reciprocated with loyalty. In less than three months after taking office, he claimed that the number of bandits had exceeded 100,000, as if there were bandits everywhere he was. As a result, the squires who opposed Zhang Zongyao and the peasants who refused to pay taxes became the exploits of the Seventh Division. As for the real bandits, they put on military uniforms and changed from ununiformed bandits to uniformed bandits. For example, Mao Sizhong, who is known as the notorious bandit in Huguang, has become Zhang Zongshuai's righteous son Zhang Jizhong.

A large number of bandits have become soldiers, and the cost of military salaries has become a problem. Later, the initiator of the Cabinet of Talents of the Republic of China, the bear's paw rattle bear phoenix, sent a telegram to reprimand

"According to the servants, if the deacon earns in Hunan in a year, he will withhold 2 million yuan in the central salt tax, more than 200,000 yuan in additional salt tax, more than 1.5 million yuan in salt stamps plus protection fees, more than 1 million yuan in money and grain, more than 120,000 yuan in copper yuan, hundreds of thousands of dollars in gold, and more than 1 million yuan in auction public property, totaling more than 8 million yuan. In addition, the central government will raise military salaries and tens of millions. Its extortion income is set at more than 40 strings per dollar, and the issuance of money bills set at 15 strings per dollar. …… The words and deeds of the soldiers are based on letters, and the deacon asks himself whether the facts of what he has done are consistent with the official words on the e-paper? That is, the current contract with foreign businessmen for the sale of mineral profits in the province is conclusive, but the deacon's electricity department has not yet recognized it. ”

In addition to salt and paper money, Zhang Zongyao brought the true colors of bandits to the limit. They stole and sold Hunan mines and yarn factories, cut education funds by half, and issued worthless paper money, and later simply raised all education funds to pay military salaries, and the principals of schools in Hunan were forced to borrow money to get by, and the teachers were also forced to work in debt.

In Changsha schools, soldiers were stationed in general, soldiers were noisy, teachers and students were inspected every time they entered and left, the school retreated to a small place in the school to attend classes, classrooms, dormitories, and canteens, school furniture, instruments and books were seriously damaged, and doors, windows, and floors were also torn down for firewood burning.

The first mechanical training field of the first industrial school was used for the students' practice, and Zhang Zongyao ordered the factory machinery to be merged into the army factory and boiled duck slices in a boiler.

The Chang and Hunan areas where his subordinates are stationed are called the Nine Secluded and Eighteen Prisons by the Hunan people, and those who have a little way to avoid trouble are far away. Under his rule, women cut their hair short and wore men's clothes to avoid being intimidated. Women among soldiers and women among officers and strong people are all common things, and large families and famous ladies are not exempt.

Considering Zhao Guanhou's style of governing the army and the old grudge with Zhang Zongyao, his troops entering Hunan will inevitably clash with Zhang's troops.

Zhang Zongyao claimed to have 200,000 soldiers, excluding the imaginary number, there were more than 50,000 troops, such a large and powerful lineage, Duan Zhiquan certainly did not want to just vote in the south, or be wiped out by the Lu army. After urgent consultation with Xu Youzheng, the compromise solution that came up with was for the Lu army to defend Hubei and enter Sichuan. Zhang Zongyao attacked Hunan and made progress in Guangzhou. The two of them fly together, don't meet each other.

This idea is certainly good, but when it comes to implementation, it cannot be satisfactory. Zhao Guanhou looked at the tears of the beautiful woman in front of him, and casually tore Duan Zhiquan's telegram to shreds, "Whatever he says, since I promised you revenge, I will do what I say, Miss Luo, don't cry, Zhang Zongyao, I'm done!" ”

The woman in front of her is in her early twenties, slim and elegant, and she is also a beauty like a hibiscus out of the water. With shaved shoulders and willow waist, her eyebrows are picturesque, as if she is a woman from the former dynasty who walked out of the picture of a lady, and she is not touched by fireworks at all. Although he was wearing a military uniform, he didn't look like a soldier at all.

She arrived in Hubei with Du Xiaoxiao's car, and when they met, Zhao Guanhou thought she was Du Xiaoxiao's bodyguard. I didn't know that she didn't say a word, Ying Ying bowed, and said, "Little girl, I'm here to cry Qin Ting." ”

The woman named Luo Xiaoxiao is an out-and-out lady. His ancestors were famous families in Hunan, and he also produced great figures such as Luo Peiyuan, the originator of the Hunan army. I founded a women's school in Changsha, and I am a very famous talented woman and beauty in the land of Sanxiang.

When Zhao Guanhou soldiers went out of Shandong, there were rumors in Hunan that Zhao thieves sent troops, seized land for nothing, and seized beauty for real......

In addition to this kind of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, patients who have seen too many sequelae do not mention it, and Luo Xiaoxiao's own name is loud, which can be seen. Zhang Zongyao is the demon king, and there are as many as 12 concubines in the station. For a beauty like Luo Xiaoxiao, there is definitely no reason to let go.

However, Luo's father is also a very smart person, after being called by Zhang Zongyao, he called him the old overseer when they met, saying that his grandfather Luo Peiyuan had gone to protect Zhang Zongyao's father, so of course, he was a junior. Zhang Zongyao was squeezed by the words, and it was difficult to start for a while, so Luo Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to escape from Changsha and ran all the way to Songjiang.

Zhao Guanhou was a little puzzled: "There are a large number of southern troops in Hunan, why did Miss Luo go to Songjiang?" ”

Luo Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "How much better can Granny Tan of the Gui Xiangjun be than Zhang Zongyao?" Before I fled, I had been in contact with these great heroes through the power of my family. But they are either concerned about my body or about my wealth. All my requests are an attitude that must be ...... first Married and rounded, he is willing to join the team. And the power in their hands may not be Zhang Zongyao's opponent, even if the little woman sacrifices herself, she may lose her innocence in the end, but she can't save the villagers. ”

When she said about the round house, she paused slightly, but she didn't show too shyness, but smiled bitterly, "I really didn't expect that one day, there would be so many Zhang Zongyao in my hometown." I have heard that Shandong has always paid attention to equality between men and women, and has protected women's marital autonomy in the form of legislation, and has set an example by holding divorce ceremonies with ladies. For the sake of the Mulberry Silkworm Girls' School, he dared to attack the Ni Inspector's army. And the Lu army is brave, it can defeat both the strong troops of the East and the bandits of Zhangbu, perhaps Yujie's only hope is the crown commander. It is to take risks, and to come here in person, Wangguanshuai takes the Hunan fathers and elders as his thoughts, and sends troops to attack Zhang! ”

Speaking of emotion, the beautiful woman burst into tears and couldn't help crying.

As a native of Hunan, she felt more deeply about Zhang Zongyao's atrocities. While such atrocities have not yet been directly affected by them, they cannot be ignored.

The Hunan people called Zhang Zongyao not a superintendent but a toadstool, and once wrote a couplet to describe the four brothers of the Zhang family: "Dignified hand Zhang, Yao Shunyu soup, one, two, three, four, tiger, leopard and jackal." ”

Zhang Zongyao alone did longevity, and stipulated four specifications of birthday gifts of "Fu", "Lu", "Shou" and "Xi" according to the situation, with decibels of 1,000 yuan, 500 yuan, 300 yuan, and 200 yuan. On his birthday, bayonets and guns can be seen everywhere, and even artillery is ready to fire at any time. Banners such as "Mainstay", "Southern Dry City", "Gonggao Wuyue", and "Debei Sanxiang" cover the entire road and form a unique landscape with those bayonets.

When Luo Xiaoxiao said this, she couldn't cry, "Although the concubine is a woman, she can't bear to see Sanxiang's father being poisoned by this thief, and she dares to ask the crown commander to send troops and hang the people." Guanshuai can abolish an overseer for the humiliation of dozens of teachers and students in the Mulberry Silkworm Girls' School, and is he willing to seek justice for my millions of Li people in Sanxiang? ”

Zhao Guanhou glanced at Xiaoxiao, who stuck out his tongue, "Brother-in-law, she is so pitiful." Crying and crying in the bank made me cry softly. Besides, Miss Luo doesn't want you to do day work, she is willing to take out all the land, deposits, and securities in her name as a reward, with a total of no less than 3 million yuan. ”

The Luo family is so rich.

Zhao Guanhou thought. Su Hanzhi raised her eyebrows, "Miss Luo is so generous, she is actually willing to give it away, but Shandong doesn't dare to accept it." I have a question, please answer Miss Luo clearly, you only mentioned the money, that is, the reason why you chose Guanhou is because you think he will not force you to get married? ”

Luo Xiaoxiao nodded, "It's not a secret, the little woman already belongs in her heart." My lover took the risk of assassinating Zhang Zongyao for my sake, but the opportunity failed, and he was killed by a thief. I have sworn that I will keep the festival for him for the rest of my life and will never marry anyone again. Guanshuai advocates marital autonomy and will not be forced to marry in the future. However, if Guanshuai has to intersect with Luan and Feng before he is willing to go out, Yujie is a million-dollar father, and he is not afraid of sacrifice. ”

Zhao Guanhou said with a smile: "I really didn't expect that someone with a reputation like me would be willing to believe that I would not be tough." Miss Luo, I believe that you thought of looking for me when you were desperate, so you go down to rest first, this matter is very big, let me think about it before I make a plan. ”

Su Hanzhi did not support sending troops, if defeating Ni Jichong would damage Duan Zhiquan's teeth, then defeating Zhang Zongyao would touch Duan's bottom line. In general, once you get angry, the consequences will be very serious. Moreover, Zhang Zongyao's own force is far stronger than Ni Jichong's. Dealing with him will definitely not be as easy as dealing with An Wujun.

Zhao Guanhou nodded, "Sister, what you said is very reasonable, I see you, you will also come to the staff in the future, we will fire Ruiyangren and replace you as the chief of staff......" The two laughed for a while, Zhao Guanhou's hand held Su Hanzhi's hand tightly, "But sister, Miss Luo said this, I suddenly remembered someone." ”

"Who?"

"Pang Jinbiao. If we had a little less luck at the time...... Perhaps, I am now like Miss Luo's lover, I can only live in your memory. I think that there are always fewer such people, the better. What's more, Zhang Zongyao also betrayed you, and I wanted to kill him a long time ago. This time, too, is an opportunity. ”

Su Hanzhi smiled softly, "Do you want to help Miss Luo, or do you want to fall in love with Miss Luo?" If you want her to be your woman, I'll help you. Just now I play the bad guy, you play the good guy, the effect is good. If we continue, sooner or later she will go to your bed like a cold lotus. ”

"But she just said that she would treat me as a good person. Is there a girl who treats me as a good person, I'll be a good person once, this time, even if it's for the identity of a good person, fight a battle. ”
