Chen Zikun frowned: "You negotiate conditions with me?" ”

The handsome man with a heavy army was not angry and arrogant, and he scared Cheng Ziqing with a slight frown, and hurriedly said: "How dare I talk to you about the conditions, isn't this begging you, Zhang Xiaolin is a ruffian compared to you, you want to kill him, just a word, but there is no point in killing him, you are a handsome, and you don't need to kill a hooligan to establish your authority, but you will lose a lot of money." ”

Chen Zikun's heart moved, Sanxin Company is making money every day, and it is the time to slaughter Zhang Xiaolin, but as a handsome, it is inconvenient to talk to Cheng Ziqing about these things, he just said lightly: "Okay, Ben Shuai knows." ”

"Thank you, Dashuai Chen." Cheng Ziqing knew that the matter was clear, nodded and said, "Without further ado, you send a few people to me, and I will take them to arrest Xu Shuzheng." ”

Chen Zikun said: "Xu Shuzheng is a Beiyang giant, the former deputy minister of the army, my old commander, how can he use it to arrest him, this marshal went to visit him in person." ”

Cheng Ziqing hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, go to visit Vice Chief Xu." ”

The public concession is the territory of Britain and the United States, Cheng Ziqing is a patrol in the French concession, and has no right to cross the border to enforce the law, and it is even more impossible for Chen Zikun to openly lead troops in, they all changed into civilian clothes and entered the public concession through Nanshi in a car.

Nanshi has become a battlefield, full of barricades and trenches, the Zhejiang army is fighting the trapped beasts, the citizens of Shanghai have also suffered, a large number of people have flocked into the concession, the entrance is blocked into a big pimple, cars and rickshaws, and people carrying big burdens and small luggage, the patrolmen blow sirens, take long bamboo poles to fight everywhere, and strive to maintain order.

Cheng Ziqing looked at this formation and gasped: "How can there be many people." "Get out of the car and squeeze over to find the police officer on duty at the sentry post, show his name, the French Concession patrol Fang Cheng Heipi's name is better than that of Paisi, the police officer immediately sent two Chinese arrests over, and forced a way with a baton, let Chen Zikun's car in, originally according to the rules to search, to see if there is a weapon or the like, but look at Inspector Cheng's face is also exempt.

Chen Zikun only brought three guards into the concession, Cheng Ziqing volunteered, saying that he could gather the 100th brothers with a gossip, Chen Zikun smiled faintly: "I have someone." ”

The car drove to the front interface and stopped, and a young man wearing glasses and carrying a violin case got into the car, although he deliberately disguised himself as a musician, but Liang Maocai's full of gangsterism could not be concealed, and the violin box was naturally filled with Thompson's hand-held machine gun.

Without saying a word, he went straight to No. 18 Nanyang Street, Xu Shuzheng was hiding here, he was very alert, for fear of being assassinated by the enemy, so he lived on the territory of foreigners, but he never dreamed that it was foreigners who would deal with him this time.

Cheng Ziqing's intelligence said that there were at least four bodyguards with guns in the mansion, but these people were like chickens and dogs in Liang Maocai's eyes, he picked up the violin box and got out of the car, and went straight to the door, and then everyone heard bursts of gunshots like popping beans, and five minutes later, a familiar whistle upstairs was done.

Chen Zikun calmly got out of the car and entered the mansion, there were two corpses lying at the gate, one person and one dog, and then went inside, in the living room, there were dead people lying on the stairs, and at the door of the study upstairs, Liang Maocai was holding Thompson, who was holding the green smoke, was changing the drum, and behind the desk in the room, there was a person sitting, and the air was as stable as Mount Tai, it was the former Beiyang giant Xu Shuzheng.

"You all go out." Chen Zikun said, entered the room, took off his top hat and bowed: "Vice Chief Xu, Chen Zikun has asked you to say goodbye." ”

Xu Shuzheng said: "I haven't seen you for four years, you were still a lieutenant when Wu Ziyu first entered Beijing, and now you are a handsome, not bad, the hope of Beiyang is on you." ”

Chen Zikun said: "Xu Cichang praised it falsely, I was just a blind cat and a dead mouse." ”

Xu Shuzheng said: "When you come to visit me, why don't you make an appointment in advance, and the people below will meet each other in battle, and you will take a few lives in vain." ”

Chen Zikun smiled: "If you make an appointment, you won't be able to see you." ”

Xu Shuzheng laughed: "Is I, Xu, the kind of cowardly?" ”

Chen Zikun saw his calm and relaxed appearance, and knew that Xu Shuzheng was waiting for reinforcements, so he said: "Don't wait, there will be no one from the Concession Patrol House." ”

Xu Shuzheng was silent for a while, and said, "It was the concession side that acquiesced to you coming to arrest me." ”

Chen Zikun nodded: "The foreigners don't want to fight, so they finally drove Lu Yongxiang away, and you jumped out to make waves again, the foreigners didn't agree, and we didn't agree, I came this time to persuade you to stop the army." ”

"Make waves, make waves." Xu Shuzheng's expression was strange, and there were words in his mouth, "Isn't everything I did for Beiyang, for the country, for the nation, Cao Kun bribed the president, and everyone was punished, shouldn't such a mediocre government be overthrown?" ”

Chen Zikun couldn't help but sneer: "You set up an Anfu Club to raise a group of parliamentarians to manipulate the Congress, and President Cao Da wants to compare it with just fifty steps and a hundred steps, Vice Chief Xu, stop it, the people can't stand the toss." ”

Xu Shuzheng let out a long sigh: "What are you going to do with me?" ”

Chen Zikun said: "You have recovered Mongolia, you are a hero of the country, you are a veteran of Beiyang, my senior, how dare I deal with you, so let's do it, you can live here quietly and study, read the newspaper, and we can deal with the affairs of the younger generations." ”

Xu Shuzheng breathed a sigh of relief, but his life was saved.

Chen Zikun said: "Excuse me, you can rest." Picked up his hat and got up to leave, and when he arrived at the door, he suddenly turned his head and said: "Xu Cichang, your era has passed, let's stop a little, and let me meet you to make waves and harm the country, I will not be as polite as I am today." ”

After a while, he picked up the telephone and shook it a few times, there was no sound in the receiver, the telephone line was cut, and he walked to the balcony to see that there were plainclothes armed men patrolling below, and he was already under house arrest.

……

The news that Xu Shuzheng was under house arrest by the concession authorities spread outside, the Zhejiang army once again lost its backbone, morale was low to the freezing point, and they were unwilling to fight anymore from top to bottom, they sent representatives to negotiate with Qi Sun Chen, and the two sides agreed to a truce, and the Zhejiang army immediately laid down its arms to accept the reorganization, except for the former Fujian soldier Ma who had an old feud with Sun Chuanfang and took the initiative to ask to be absorbed by Qi Xieyuan, most of the Zhejiang army was annexed by Sun Chuanfang.

Qi Xieyuan paid 500,000 yuan in advance for the military expenses he promised to reimburse, and there was still 1.5 million yuan left to be paid in installments, and Chen Zikun was not in a hurry, anyway, if the money was not cleared, he would not withdraw the troops.

Tens of thousands of Jiangdong troops were stationed in Songjiang, and every day they went to the city in groups to hang around, buy things, smoke big cigarettes, and sleep with girls, and the money was not Xianyang, but the military tickets issued by Chen Dashuai!

At first, the military tickets were only issued in Jiangdong Province with a quota of one million, after the soldiers entered Shanghai, the cost of marching and fighting increased sharply, and the finances were tight, so they had to issue additional military tickets.

This time the military tickets were issued to a huge amount of 2 million, so many military tickets flowed into Shanghai through the hands of the soldiers, which is equivalent to looting the people's wealth in disguise, and the people were deeply poisoned, even Qi Xieyuan and Sun Chuanfang also sighed, Xiao Chen is too greedy for money, but he also relaxed his vigilance against him, a person who is greedy for money as his life, how ambitious can he be.

Chen Zikun's indiscriminate issuance of military tickets is not a decision in his head, he has carefully considered, Jiangdong Province's finances do not support such huge expenses, tens of thousands of Jiangdong troops are already uncultivated soldiers, and if they are in arrears, it will inevitably cause a mutiny, it is better to take advantage of the fact that the army is in the field, and use military tickets to solve the urgent need, anyway, he is not really looting people's wealth, and he has already thought about who will pay for this huge amount of military tickets.

That is the Sanxin company jointly opened by the three tycoons of Shanghai Tang.

Sanxin Company monopolized the opium trade in the entire Shanghai Beach, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are making money every day, and Sanxin Company had been an enemy of Chen Dashuai before, robbed him of opium, and chased and killed his brother.

Just as Chen Zikun was about to attack Sanxin's company, an urgent call from Beijing disrupted his plan.

Wu Peifu sent a telegram to transfer Chen Zikun and the elite of his brigade to urgently go north to participate in the war.

It is said that after Zhang Zuolin was defeated in the last Zhifeng War, he angrily dismissed a number of veterans of the green forest who had not been able to fight well, and replaced them with military cadets who had received modern military education, such as Guo Songling and Zhang Xueliang.

At this juncture, Wu Peifu dispatched Chen Zikun to the north, instead of letting Qi Xieyuan reinforce him, which can only explain one problem, that is, Yushuai plans to surprise the Feng army.

When it comes to surprise attacks, only Chen Zikun is the best at the direct generals, since Yushuai spoke, Chen Zikun has no shirk responsibility, and he doesn't care about knocking on the bamboo bar of Sanxin Company, so he immediately set off for Beijing.

The overall situation in Shanghai has been decided, don't worry about Qi Xieyuan and Sun Chuanfang, who are also directly related, stabbing in the back, Duan Haixiang has Zhang Pengcheng watching, there is no chaos, Yan Su has been stationed in the provincial capital, and he is a hundred people who can rest assured that Chen Zikun is in charge.

Chen Zikun planned to take Chen Shou's 7th Mixed Brigade north to help, but the whole brigade needed a period of preparation time whether it was by rail or ship, so he took the guards to set off by boat first, and the destination was Tianjin.

Dashuai traveled, the pomp was extraordinary, more than a dozen cars before and after, the police stood on the pedal of the open road, puffed out their cheeks and blew the siren, and beat the beggar with a bamboo pole, passers-by avoided one after another, silently standing on the side of the road to watch Chen Dashuai's motorvoy show off its might.

Chen Zikun, who was sitting in the car, didn't see a slender figure wearing a Danshilin cloth skirt in the crowd on the side of the road.
