With the increasing number of immigrants in Jinan City, the land is becoming more and more expensive, and the houses are becoming more and more dense. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info who can have a small courtyard in Jinan City at the moment is a symbol of status and wealth.

Although the courtyard of Ma Gen is not very large, it is very quiet, in the middle of the city, with such a quiet land, but only the chief martial arts instructors of the Shandong army can have such an identity treatment. His skills are extremely high, but his influence in the military world is limited. After all, at the moment, everyone is using fast guns, that is, hand-to-hand combat, and hundreds of people raise bayonets to stab each other, and it is difficult to play a role in the level of personal force. Shandong has always re-cultivated generals, and he has stood in the right line in several major incidents, so the rank and treatment have always been not bad. It's fun to practice your fists and kicks at home every day.

He is kind to him, is the old man of the capital city, the fifth sword king who moved the rivers and lakes with his name in the former Jin Dynasty. Although the Zhilu coalition army was against Anhui this time, Wang Wu was not sent and still stayed in Jinan.

In front of the stone table in the small courtyard, the two drank tea and talked about their insights on martial arts. Their cultivation is extremely high, and there is no need to really fight each other, just by talking is enough to understand each other's meaning and superiority. Although Wang Zhengyi is old, his mental and physical strength are still vigorous, and his research in martial arts also makes Ma Gen very admired.

Wang Zhengyi also praised Ma Gen's martial arts, and the two fell in love. After talking about martial arts, I can't help but talk about the battle situation. Ma Gong said: "Elder Wang, what do you think of this battle. There are many border guards, and they have a great name of righteousness. No matter what you say, our army is a guest offender, and it is taboo for soldiers. On all battlefields, our army is inferior, and the enemy is superior, which does not seem to be very good. I always feel that Dashuai is confused this time. We have built so many fortifications in Shandong, as long as we rely on the fortress and hold on to the danger, why bother with a large army to go on the expedition, the rear is empty. In our Jinan City, in addition to the police investigation, I'm afraid there are not a few soldiers, right? ”

Wang Wu smiled and said: "Brother Ma, if you talk about martial arts, you don't say it, but when it comes to military affairs, I don't admire you." You say that I am outnumbered, but in my opinion, I am outnumbered. You can't just count the troops on both sides, how many people do you know in Shandong? The three provinces of Hebei, Henan, and Shandong, as well as the people of northern Jiangsu, all made every effort to assist the Lu army in attacking Anhui. A few times together, I'm afraid that there are hundreds of thousands, who do you say are many and who are outnumbered? In the case of Jinan City, the militia, the fire brigade and the security army, even if these forces are not mentioned, if someone wants to create a rebellion against the commander, will the father of Jinan agree? ”

"The anti-handsome? This...... I'm afraid I can't, right? ”

It's hard to say, there are always people who are not afraid of death. On the Texas side, some people tried to make the security group rebel, but in the security group, even the chess pieces they arranged were reversed, and the contact person was arrested on the spot, which should have been corrected. ”

Ma Gen's hand holding the cup was clenched for a while, and the whole person was tense up in an instant as if a full hard bow was tightened, but Wang Wu was still calm and calm, so Ma Gen's momentum also relaxed.

He smiled bitterly twice and put down the teaglass, "I'm confused for a while, don't laugh at the old hero Wang." Everyone knows each other's methods, you have a knife in your hand, and I may not be your opponent. What's more, Shandong has always won by many, and I think there are already many former Jin Neiting masters waiting for me outside. Even if I am the reincarnation of the overlord today, I can't kill this ambush on all sides. ”

Wang Wu smiled and said, "Brother Ma, don't think about it. I'm here just to talk to you and have a chat. After all, there are not many people who can talk about it, and even fewer people with martial arts skills like you. As for arresting people, that's a matter from Shigege's side, and I won't make a move, but I also advise my brother not to do it. People just want to talk, no one wants to turn the other cheek with you. ”

"Everything happened in Texas, and you still don't want to turn your face?"

"Over there in Texas, although it is under the banner of you, the people of Shigege have already checked it very clearly, and you are not involved. It's just strictly neutral, and doesn't expose or support. As long as there is no opposition to the behavior of the marshal, Shigege will not be wiped out. Let's go have a cup of tea and have a chat, and it will be over soon. ”

After all, the Anhui family has a righteous reputation, and in Shandong Province, there are also some forces that support the Zhengfu and oppose Zhao Guanhou. These forces include the military and political circles, although there have been several changes of blood, plus the introduction of talents from other provinces, but it is impossible for all cadres to be Zhao die-hards, and those with different aspirations are the most normal existence.

However, with its own high welfare, Shandong has successfully won the support of the broad masses of the grassroots, so that it is difficult for those who sympathize with the Anhui system to really do any damage, including some small actions that no one knows about, which are actually already in the hands of Shandong's intelligence and governance organs.

The external ability of the Shandong Customs Investigation Department may not be strong enough, but the internal control is far beyond people's imagination, and the actions of these people have never escaped Shandong's control. As a result, several mutinies or sabotages in Shandong Province ended in failed attempts, and the intelligence network in Shandong was completely paralyzed with the support of Fuso.

If Yuqing wantonly takes people after the incident, these people may indeed cause new consequences when they are in danger. However, this time, Shandong has adopted an attitude of calming things down, and as long as there is no public anti-Lu behavior, an understanding can be reached and the net can be opened. It is a person like Ma Gen who has not actually suffered any damage, and he will not seek death by himself. Of course, residential surveillance, or some necessary management, is still unavoidable.

In the secret prison of the Social Customs Investigation Bureau, Yuqing looked at the martial arts instructor and asked in puzzlement: "Shandong treats you badly?" Or is there something that Guanhou does not respect you enough, why do you protect those people and don't explain it to Shandong? ”

Ma Gen said: "Guanshuai is as kind to me as a mountain, and with a brave husband in Ma, he knows that he is not worthy of a great responsibility." Although Xu Youzheng promised to be the head of a division, I never thought that I could really lead Pixiu. I just think that the crown commander is not a talent of leading the army, but this time he is angry and sends troops from the province, and the victory or defeat is really unpredictable. Ma didn't want to betray Lu, but he didn't want to be martyred......"

Yuqing nodded, "Although the words are not good, they are heartfelt, you don't want to be implicated, but you don't want to rebel either, so don't help each other." This is not wrong, Guanhou has something to say, it is not a sin to not want to contribute to the Lu army, as long as he does not commit adultery in Shandong, he can still live. However, Lu Jun's position as the chief instructor of martial arts can only be replaced. In the future, as long as you abide by the law, you will still be an excellent citizen of Shandong. I don't know much about the war, but I believe that the battle of the crown marquis will not be lost. ”

"Big brother, I believe that you will not lose this battle!"

Jinmen, Dengyinglou was chartered today, and the entire restaurant was not open to the public, all used to entertain Zhao Guanhou, the marshal of the Zhilu Coalition Army, and the guests he entertained. As Zhao Guanhou, whether it is a consul of various countries or a political dignitary of Jinmen, or even a former Jin relict minister, he can become his invite. But what he entertained today was not these high-ranking officials and county nobles, but hundreds of men, rich and poor, rich and low.

Among these people, although there are important officials like Hou Xing, the director of the Jinmen Police Department, there are also some bastards who are dressed in short fights and have tattoos on their bodies, which makes people wonder how these people can become the guests of the crown handsome. Only these guests knew in their hearts that in the pre-Jin era, all of the people present were gangsters in the area of the small shoe shop, and they had once begged for a life with this marshal of the Gonghe in a pot guy.

When one person attains the Tao, the chicken and dog ascend to heaven. The relationship that used to be very helpful to these people is very helpful. Except for a few people who have mixed decent jobs in Shandong, although most of them still stay in Jinmen, they rely on Zhao Guanhou's care, and their overall life is not bad. The worst group of gangsters is also the leader of the gangsters, with dozens of people under them, eating one or two streets, and they don't need to shout and kill themselves.

However, the higher the status, the clearer the view of the word dignity and inferiority. Although Zhao Guanhou didn't wear a military uniform today, as soon as he remembered his identity, most of these old friends chose to leave some distance, and even lowered their voices a little. Only Hou Xing dared to get closer to Zhao Guanhou, toasted and talked freely.

"Big brother, you are now the commander of the first army, aren't you going to war with the Anhui army? Not on the front line, drinking with the brothers, does this delay delay business? ”

Zhao Guanhou shook his head, "I, the commander, have no real name, and I have already handed over the command to my subordinates." There is no suspicion in employing people, and there is no need for suspicious people. Don't always think that taking all the power into your own hands is actually asking for trouble. This time, Wu Ziyu garrisoned Yang Village and fought with the Anhui army, and the war will inevitably affect Jinmen. ”

"Big brother, you are far away. Since the beginning of the war in Qianjin, we have not fought less in Jinmen, no matter who wins and who loses, it is always the people who are unlucky. It's not apportionment, or it's coolie, who would have thought about paying us compensation? This time, it's our buddy's own business, isn't it the Anhui system? Beat him up a son of a bitch. Even such a good person as Meng Dong's family will be killed when he says he will be killed, is there still a good way for good people to walk? Big brother, let me tell you, I have said hello to the various piers in Jinmen. The ships of the Anhui system should not be unloaded, and the branches should not be allowed. The supplies of the Zhilu coalition army, even if they are continuous, must be guaranteed. 1,200 carts, all ready, to ensure that the front line has what it wants. There weren't enough people, so I personally went up and carried a big bag. If the Anhui army breaks through Yangcun, I will take the police to investigate and go to the front line to compete with them. ”

"That's right, if the Anhui army catches up, let's compare paintings with him. It's not a big deal, we even lay down the Orientals, and we're still afraid of him with a group of Anhui troops? ”

The gangsters raised their glasses and collided, and Zhao Guanhou also raised his glass in response. Seeing that these people were full of praise, his heart was slightly more comfortable. It seems that everyone is not angry with themselves because of the deaths of Meng and Li. Even the old head of the Li family has no complaints about himself. At least in my own heart, I can feel better.

Hou Xing suddenly asked: "Big brother, I heard that Henan is also fighting, and more than 100,000 people are fighting two divisions of the Lu army, is this a bit hanging?" Besides, the one who led the troops was his sister-in-law. In our place, there are some coolies who can't eat, as long as you say a word, brother, I will recruit soldiers, and if I can't recruit them, I will arrest them, and it will not be a problem to get a division. ”

"What kind of strength does that kind of force have?" Zhao Guanhou shook his head and pointed to the table, "Eat vegetables." Don't worry, those people are in my eyes, that is, these dishes, no matter how much, are the food in my mouth. The reason why I sent my women to the battlefield in Henan was because in the three-way campaign, the Henan road was the easiest to have a record. I've brought them a magic weapon, so just wait and see the show. ”

With Sun Meiyao personally to the front line, the Shandong First Cavalry Division, except for a cavalry regiment that stayed by Zhao Guanhou's side to serve as a maneuver, the other troops went to the Henan front. Although this division is a special forces division, its actual strength is larger than that of ordinary infantry divisions. Infantry cavalry and artillery guns, all branches of the army are complete, and the degree of equipment is excellent, which is comparable to the Fifth Division.

On the other hand, the three Northwest Cavalry Divisions are cavalry divisions in the true sense of the word, and the whole division only has cavalry, and there is no cooperation with other arms. Sun Xinyuan is only the nominal leader of the alliance in the five northwestern provinces, and his actual control is limited. The troops sent out were all forcibly drawn from the unruly local heroes under their command. Under the establishment of the three divisions, the actual strength was almost the same as that of the Shandong First Cavalry Division, the equipment was extremely inferior and the firepower was weak, and the three divisions combined had only two pounds and eight guns.

The ability of these troops to loot is much higher than their combat ability, and since they entered Henan, they have plundered on a large scale, and the slightest resistance of the people will be added to each other. A few years later, the old men of the cavalry division who had experienced this battle recalled the battle and unanimously reflected: The military discipline of the first cavalry division at that time was not as good as the bloody battle in the East that day, but it was still in Henan Shenfu people's popularity, all relying on peers.

Since the battle between the two sides began in Guide, the Northwest Cavalry thought that it could take the initiative, but did not want the Lu cavalry to intend to defend at all, so they took the initiative to attack at the beginning. Outside the city of Guide, the cavalry division was in a tight array, and the divisional artillery regiment attacked the northwest cavalry position. Grenades and shrapnel bullets are raining down, you must know that Sun Meiyao is Zhao Guanhou's favorite pet and enjoys priority supplies. Sun Pengju commanded the artillery to open fire fiercely, without thinking about the cost at all, and the shelling lasted up to two hours.

As soon as the artillery of the three Northwestern Cavalry Divisions was opened, the positions were destroyed. The cavalry in the minds of the commanders of the three divisions still set up a formation and charged with sabers. But I don't want the Shandong cavalry to actually understand the rules, refuse to compete in equestrianism, blindly pour firepower, there are so many cannons with flower shells, and there is a face called cavalry? Besides, aren't you afraid of losing your family? After being beaten on the head like this, he was run over by the tall Taixi Yanma of Shandong Iron Cavalry, roaring over the broken military formation.

The remnants of the third division shouted that they had encountered fake cavalry, and they were scattered in disarray, and the Lu army took advantage of the situation to enter Kaifeng. But at this time, the scouts had already sent news that Feng Huanzhang's 50,000 Shaanxi troops had entered Henan, and the advance was to reach Luoyang. After eating the appetizers, it's time for the main meal.
