"Sister, Changsha people have a saying, Yang Yuxing's noodles, Xu Changxing's duck, and Deyuan's buns are really good. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Although we also have Hunan restaurants in Shandong, when it comes to snacks, there is a gap after all. To eat big dishes in Changsha, I want to go to Yuloudong, and I am in charge of the Tan family's cuisine, and I want to give the chef of the salt merchant at the beginning, so that I can make an authentic official seat. But if you want to eat snacks, you either have to go to the Fire Palace, or you have to go to these small restaurants, so that the taste is right. ”

In the small restaurant, Zhao Guanhou's family sat in the chief, and the outside was full of Beiyang soldiers with big guns, and the elderly boss took matters into his own hands and prepared a meal of one duck and four meals. After walking in the rivers and lakes for a long time, the ability to watch people put down dishes does not need to be taught, and there is no need to be instructed, so I deliberately did not put too many chili peppers according to the taste of Hunan people, and prepared rose dew for a table of distinguished guests, just to go to the heat.

Su Hanzhi was full of praise for the craftsmanship of this snack, and asked the boss with a smile: "It's really embarrassing that so many of us come to eat here and you can't do other people's business." How much money is needed, we calculate it for you. ”

The boss waved his hand, "Madam, you are too polite." To be honest, I look forward to you coming here every day to eat. Not only is it not an expense, but it saves me a lot of money. As soon as I said it, Shandong Zhao Guanshuai loves to eat my ducks, not only many customers, but also those soldiers, who dare not come to my store to apportion. ”

Zhao Guanhou put down his chopsticks: "What?" Zhang Zongyao is dead, and the apportionment has not stopped? ”

The boss sighed helplessly, "That's it." Originally, I thought that after the death of the surname Zhang, life would be better, the market would recover, and I could make money in business. Unexpectedly, although Zhang Zongyao died, the tax was not much less. The soldiers grabbed things, and they were not soft, and they were still sad these days. This is the crown marshal here, and there are still many brothers outside, so it is a bit of a quiet time. Yesterday, in order to grab the territory, the two troops started in the city, and they released their guns in broad daylight, which is called scary. ”

Although the First Division of the Hunan Provincial Army has an establishment, there is a serious shortage of troops. A large number of strong men who were captured by Zhang Zongyao into the army, after fleeing or towing guns and surrendering, did not return to their hometowns to farm, but were forcibly retained by the first division. Because they have received military training, they can use guns, and they are very valued in the army, and their treatment is much better than that under Zhang Zongyao.

Most of the officers of the First Division were the sons of the gentry and the great clans, and their loyalty was reliable, but their ability was difficult to say. What can really be used to play the functions of the army are these soldiers who have fought and can fight. However, the Hunan army was different from the Lu army, and the haste of forming the army, as well as the urgency of time, led to the lack of time for large-scale training of the troops.

In order to be able to have a military force that can compete with the Beiyang government on paper, the urgent need to expand the force is far higher than the need for discipline. In fact, not only Hunan Province, but also the current provinces, regardless of the north and the south, are about the same as the army. As long as there are people, you can become an army, and weapons and military discipline are all trivial issues.

The Lu army completely withdrew from the military administration, and the original officials under Zhang Zongyao were all exchanged for official positions with equal money. Either they are incompetent, or they are excessively accumulated, and the people's grievances are great. With the fall of Zhang Zongyao, these officials can either find connections and stay in office, or they can only roll up and leave. The authority of Hunan was quickly taken over by the gentry alliance.

The contradictions that were originally hidden under the water broke out. Within a short time, more than a dozen military envoys appeared in Hunan Province to complete the redivision of Hunan's interests. Each person divides his own territory and sphere of influence according to his hometown and contribution. If you want to protect these interests, you need the military.

Although the gentry did not get the numbers of more than a dozen divisions to appear in a province of Hunan, as they had done before, and set up incense halls on the streets to scatter the seabed, the troops already had a tendency to overflow. As long as the basket is caught, it is a vegetable, and the soldiers are uneven, and a large number of bandits, Liu Busy, and beggars are all enriched into the army.

Zhang Zongyao's subordinates were accustomed to looting, and after finding that they were not liquidated, but were reused, whether it was for the needs of military salaries or in the hope of making a fortune. Snatching apportionment, these things that were familiar in the Zhang era, continue to be engaged.

Merchants are the most unlucky group, especially small businessmen like Boss Xu Changxing. With various titles, regardless of whether there is a uniform or not, as long as a certain flag is displayed, it can come to distribute food and money. The vendor, who had not yet come out of the excitement of destroying the Demon King, found that a new shackle was put on his head again.

The commerce of Changsha was almost completely destroyed in the era of Zhang Zongyao. Now, relying on the group of tens of thousands of people in the Lu army, as well as the huge purchasing power, it has regained its vitality. However, this kind of apportionment method made the businessman feel unbearable, and in contrast, Lu Jun's image became more and more tall.

Most of the newly recruited Hunan troops did not have time to make military uniforms, and many of them still wore cloth clothes and fought shortly, and there was no cultivation of the civilized quality of the Lu army, so scolding and beating people were indispensable. Compared with the Lu army, they were more and more foiled like bandits, and the Hunan people were originally poisoned by Zhang Zongyao and boycotted all provincial troops. Now, he looks at the Lu army and is pleasing to the eye, but he can't look at the provincial army in this province.

Please God town ghosts. The combat effectiveness of the Lu army was there, and even Zhang Zongyao was destroyed, and these Zhang subordinates were defeated, and they did not have the strength to wrestle with the Lu army. No matter how many doubts the gentry had about the wealth stored in that safe, they did not dare to explicitly oppose Lu Jun as evidence.

The merchants in Changsha began to find a way to send money to the Lu army, and invited a few soldiers or officers to sit in the store. For this reason, several seats are set up in the store, and two words are written on a piece of paper.

As long as there is a store where Lu Jun is in charge, no provincial army dares to come to distribute money. On the market, there are already black-hearted businessmen who have begun to imitate the military uniforms of the Lu army, and their intentions are self-evident. If Zhao Guanhou, the handsome, can leave a Mobao for Xu Changxing, the boss will provide a month's food for free, and he will only make money and not lose money.

In the distance, a burst of gunfire came in, and the boss shook his head and said, "There must be another merger." These people don't know what's going on, they are obviously from Hunan, but for the sake of land or taxes, they fight you to the death, why is this trouble? I thought I could live a few days of peace, but now, there is no hope. ”

When they returned to the mansion, Zou Xiurong and Du Xiaoxiao came back from outside. The two are now representatives of the Northern and Southern armies in the peace talks, plus economic commissioners, and in addition to negotiating with the southern troops, they are also negotiating business with the Hunan people. The real estate in Zhang Zongyao's name was all returned to Hunan for the deployment of local forces, but for these lands and the belongings on them, there were serious disagreements within the Hunan Provincial Council. Now someone actually wants to give the land to Zhao Guanhou again.

"They want us to take over the land in exchange for the support of the Lu army. After all, the parliament is now fighting with each other, and when it comes time to use the gun, whoever has the support of the Lu army will win. Zou Xiurong shook his head, he was very ashamed of these gentry, the wealthy giants, and even some of the comrades who had participated in Ge Ming's predecessors, were not much better looking than a giant bandit like Zhang Zongyao when they were fighting for power.

"They also want to put their hands in the army and use marriage to pull officers over. Fortunately, I said before, I don't come to the monk, and I don't stay when I go to the monk. If you want to stay in Hunan as a son-in-law, I will definitely say goodbye, but in the future, I will no longer be Lu Jun's brother. There are more than one out of ten people who marry with Hunan locals, and most of them still hope to bring their wives to Shandong. The two are still tug-of-war, and not much has really been negotiated. But looking at this frame, maybe as soon as we walk on the front foot, the gentry on the back foot will be on fire. At that time, whoever Ren Sheng's division supports, he will definitely win. In exchange for support, they offered any conditions. Not to mention that the women in the clan marry in Shandong, or be a little wife, the more unbearable conditions are not that they can't agree. Especially the militarily weak side. ”

Zou Xiurong smiled: "Are you talking about Master Luo?" The Luo family is in the army, but they are very weak. The children of the clan wanted to be officers in the army, but they were destroyed by other families. turned out a bunch of bad deeds of those Luo family children, from peeking at a woman taking a bath at the age of three to smoking duck slices when they grew up. Relying on Miss Luo, I managed to close less than two companies, but unfortunately it was useless. I heard that there is still a meeting on the military side to deprive Miss Luo of her military qualifications. Of course, their reasons are very good, there are only Miss Luo and a few female soldiers of the Lu Army in the army, and once something goes wrong, it will be a vicious incident. A large group of wolf-like men, a delicate little girl can't speak, and Hunan prohibits female soldiers from appearing. ”

Sun Meiyao was completely defenseless against Luo Xiaoxiao, but thought that the other party was her literary bosom friend, and then slapped the table and scolded: "He is Nai, why can't a woman be a soldier?" The women of Shandong can make up a few groups, do you want to pull it out and compare it to see if their men are powerful or the women of Shandong are powerful. ”

"What's the fuss, calm down." Zhao Guanhou said with a smile: "As we said, Shandong does not intervene in Hunan's internal affairs, that is, it does not intervene." Words must count, deprivation of military status, or provincial elections, we don't care about anything. When the peace talks with the Southern Army were completed, we would retreat to Shandong. Now, preparations can be made, and the Lu army will retreat into Hubei in batches. ”

"Retirement? This is absolutely not going to work. The rest of Zhang Zongyao's troops are still bandits among the people, they have been in battle for a long time, and their combat effectiveness is strong, and they cannot be fought against by the militia. If the Lu army withdraws and Zhang Zongshun and Zhang Zongyu fight back, the people of Hunan should suffer again. Crown, the army must not be withdrawn. ”

In Luo's house in Changsha, Luo Chongxuan persuaded him bitterly, and he said with some shame: "I know that the performance of some colleagues has chilled Brother Lu Jun, and some people have even tried to destroy the relationship between Lu Jun and the local people by falsely accusing or impersonating Lu Jun. However, I can guarantee that similar incidents will never happen again. ”

Two days ago, a group of soldiers in the uniforms of the Lu army went to the countryside and killed the male hostess and took the turn of the hostess. The woman went to the city to complain, and the public opinion was very big. The provincial council came forward with the attitude of protecting Lu Jun, and was ready to compensate the woman a sum of money to suppress the matter. Zhao Guanhou insisted on refusing, organized a team to investigate the matter, and stated that if Lu Jun did it, no matter who it was, he would be beheaded on the spot, and he would personally kowtow to this woman and admit his mistake.

During the entire investigation process, reporters participated in the whole process, and soon discovered a detail, the Lu army was stationed in the barracks and was forbidden to go out. Soldiers who were responsible for procuring goods, or pressing storefronts, were all equipped with armbands. The woman recognized all the soldiers wearing armbands, and there were no perpetrators at all. When his emotions calmed down and recalled, he found that the military uniform of the perpetrator was not exactly the same as that of the Lu army, and the accent of the other party still had a strong local accent.

The recruits recruited by the Lu army in Hunan were brought in again to recognize people, and some people visited the village, and after careful reconnaissance, it was found that the murderer was actually a squad of the provincial army. bought a fake Lu army uniform and went to the countryside. Lu Jun proved his innocence, but he hated this set of methods in the local area, and refused to do even the thing of suppressing the storefront, and the order in the market was even worse.

Luo Chongxuan, as the acting provincial governor, is responsible for civil affairs, but the offenders are all soldiers, but they are not under the management of the provincial government. This kind of situation has formed, those who want to manage things have no power, and those who have power not only ignore but also indulge, and the voice of dissatisfaction with the provincial government is getting higher and higher, making their situation extremely difficult.

He can sit in this position, of course, there are factors of the Luo family's local forces, but the support of the Lu army is also an indispensable condition. If the Lu army is pulled out now, Ren Sheng, who stays, may not recognize him, the face of the old man who oversees the army, and the positive situation in Hunan does not know what has changed.

The ugliness of the family should not be publicized, Luo Chongxuan didn't want to talk about the internal struggle, so he had to put the blame on the Southern Army and Zhang Bu.

"Although the southern army is in peace talks, but Zhao Hengyi's troops are stationed near Changsha, once the Lu army is opened, the southern army takes advantage of the situation to seize Changsha, and the current provincial army will not be able to resist them. His army is poor, and once the troops enter Changsha, they will inevitably be allowed to rob the troops, and the people will suffer again. In terms of military food and salary, if the Lu army has any difficulties, Guanshuai just asks, and I will find a way to maintain it. ”

"No need. Is there enough military food for a few days, and I will figure out how to pay the military salary. Since you don't believe that Zhang Zongyao's belongings are only provincial money, I can't help it. I'm unlucky, I shouldn't have taken that safe, and how much money it costs is my business. At the beginning, 800 athletes from Yuezhou helped Shandong, but they were killed, wounded and disabled, and now there are less than 350 people left. The rosters are in my possession, and I can return them to the battle sequence of the provincial army at any time, but only if they themselves are voluntary, and I have no right to make such a request on them. ”

"Provincial army? No, no, they shouldn't have gone back to the provincial army. Luo Chongxuan hurriedly waved his hand, "I want to train a police investigation brigade in Hunan, and these soldiers can just fill the team." Guanshuai, I can raise another batch of rice and food for the brothers, and the military salary...... I'll find a way to make up three months first. But the army, don't pull out. I have no opinion on Mrs. Zou's acquisition plan for Hunan No. 1 Textile Factory, and the current problems are concentrated on the side of the provincial council. ”

"Dad, Guanshuai, hello." The door was suddenly opened, and Luo Xiaoxiao, dressed in a plain floor-length skirt and holding a thick book, stood at the door. The sunlight shines in, making the whole room bright, under the sun, people are as light as chrysanthemums, making it hard to believe that such a quiet and delicate woman once waved her flag and shouted to kill the enemy.

Luo Chongxuan said with a smile: "I'm confused, how can I hold on to the crown handsome, and what do I have to say to an old man." You young people, you should talk more. Commander, I've ordered the kitchen to be prepared, and I'm sure I'll stay and eat with you tonight. Although the chef in my house is not as good as Chef Tan in Yuloudong, he is also a little famous in Hunan, so I just ask Guanshuai to comment on one or two. ”

The back garden of the Luo family is very spacious, and strolling here, the fragrance is fragrant. Looking at the woman in front of him, Zhao Guanhou always felt that she should hold a fan and take the maid to flutter butterflies for play, or swing around on the swing to match her identity. She was the one who was in battle...... I always feel like it's a tyrannical thing.

The two didn't say anything to each other, and walked straight for about ten minutes, Luo Xiaoxiao suddenly stopped and bowed deeply to Zhao Guanhou, "I'm very sorry!" Really, I'm sorry! I know that this kind of apology doesn't mean much, but I still hope that Guanshuai will save the villagers in Hunan again. ”
