As punishment for running away, Anna's hair was kneaded into a mess of grass. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Even after sitting down, his head was still under Zhao Guanhou's control, and he grabbed a handful from time to time. Her hair is of good quality and is pleasant to the touch.

Zou Xiurong said with a smile: "Don't bully her, the child is still young, don't blame her." Come, sit next to your godmother, and your godmother will comb your hair. ”

Anna sat down obediently, not seeing the slightest hint of the essence of a wicked girl, her ability to pretend to be a good child, but she was more clever than Jingci. She was clear in her heart, the woman in the family had the final say, and with the protection of her godmother, how could the master dare to drive her home.

Zhao Guanhou smiled: "Second sister-in-law, why do you even have to go to the front line this time?" It's a chaotic place, and it's not a place for women to go. ”

"If I don't go, who will be the middleman for you?" Zou Xiurong smiled and said: "I know your style best, and it is definitely not a fight to the death with the Southern Military Government." The so-called war is only for the purpose of forcing peace with war. Mr. Sun used the pretext of upholding the law as a reason to raise the army, and he was supported by the old members of Congress, as well as the First Fleet Navy. However, on the army side, the Guizhou and Yunnan armies did not support the Northern Expedition very much, and the Communists were in financial difficulties, and the finances of the Southwest were more tight than those of the Communists. Most of the troops are afraid that they will not be paid for a long time, and their will to fight is not high. They support the land grabbing, and if they fight and die, forget it. The reason why they fought was nothing more than the fear that Beiyang would take away their territory. Compared with the two lakes, the Dian army was more willing to attack Sichuan and seize Shu, while the Gui system only wanted to pass through the two Guangzhous. The only one who really wants to fight is the Hunan army. Most of you want to hurt the southern army and sign a peace treaty, the second sister-in-law guessed right, right? ”

"The second sister-in-law is really counted in my bones, and in front of the second sister-in-law, my abacus is useless."

"Don't praise me, if you are really a staunch main battle faction, why wait until today to send troops? However, if you want peace, you must also have an intermediary to mediate, we Chinese affairs, we can't all count on foreigners to be mediators, the second sister-in-law and both parties still have some face, and it is the joint bank to mediate, it is just right to do this mediation. ”

Zou Xiurong deeply agreed with Zhao Guanhou's actions of sending troops to attack Ni and cutting down hundreds of chaotic troops, and this time he didn't even need to be invited, so he took the initiative to go out of the mountain to serve as a transferor. Meng Siyuan is more suitable than her, but now his main energy is on the Jinglu Railway, and he doesn't have so much time to preside over the negotiations, so he has to be done by Zou Xiurong.

Although the two have not remarried, they have nothing to do with each other, and they are like close friends. Meng Siyuan repaired the railway, and both the total and the two lines of communication made a lot of efforts, but it was Duan Zhiquan who was paid for the army, and the two lines were not very interested in cooperating. Duan Zhiquan also knew that these two lines would not sell him much face, so he didn't go to the two lines to find it boring.

Su Hanzhi asked, "Second sister-in-law, where did Duan Zhiquan's military salary come from, but what news does it have?" ”

"It's a syndicate loan. Wang Shulu was very perfunctory with the foreigners, contacted several big chaebols, and negotiated a loan. In addition, there is inconclusive news that Duan Zhiquan and the Fusang people signed a treaty to jointly operate the Phoenix Mountain Iron Mine. With the Fenghuangshan Iron Mine in Jiangning as collateral, he borrowed a large sum of money from the Fusang Foundation, which is said to be tens of millions. Although during the civil strife in Fuso, the economic losses were great, but the big chaebols still have a foundation, and they have coveted this iron mine for a long time, so the chaebols are very happy to pay money. ”

Zhao Guanhou snorted coldly, "I'm afraid it's not the chaebol that has the foundation, but the big people of Fusang who are making a force from it." After the civil strife of the Japanese people, their vitality was greatly damaged. If you want to invade our country militarily, you can't do it in a short time. Therefore, we changed the way and changed to the economic mode to disrupt the internal affairs of our country. Crooked nose to borrow money, of course, in the hope of war. The so-called cooperative development of iron ore is just a gimmick, and the real intention is to buy guns, buy artillery, pay military salaries, and create a civil war. His heart is very big, and he has always wanted to let the heroes tie their hands and unify the north and the south. If his wish is fulfilled, we in Shandong will have to be under his control! It is not as useful as the second brother to build a few railways and roads. When the term of office of the crooked nose expires, I will praise the second brother as president and see who supports and who opposes them! ”

When the train arrived in Wuhan, Wang Zichun had already brought his subordinates to wait at the station, and when he saw Zhao Guanhou, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed according to the rules of the artillery standard, calling the old standard. This kind of title is naturally to pull the relationship, and Zhao Guanhou also pulled him up very affectionately, and the two looked like they were not distinguishing from each other, and they were heart-to-heart.

Similar to Ni Jichong, Wang Zichun is also a well-known financial expert in the communist military circles. The best way is to make the military salary cleverly disappear and then turn it into your own income.

Stocks, factories, real estate, there are few areas that Wang Overseer does not set foot in. In addition, in order to prosper the entertainment industry, the Overseer Office will reimburse Wang for tens of thousands of yuan in "entertainment expenses" every month, and the specific whereabouts of it will have to ask the Oiran in Wuchang.

Wang Zichun knew that the old chief liked good wine and food, plus beautiful women, and the banquet to entertain Zhao Guanhou was very attentive, and the chef invited was Zhang Xiangtao's personal chef back then, and the owner of Huixian Hall of the Beijing Restaurant. The old man who had already collected the mountain was invited out of the mountain palm stove, and the specifications of the wine and food were comparable to the former Jin Imperial Banquet, and the people who accompanied the banquet were naturally all beautiful and beautiful people with fat and thin swallows.

Fortunately, Wang Zichun knew that Zhao Guanhou was going out with the army, and he didn't dare to arrange a beauty for Zhao Guanhou to accompany him, so he only hugged him left and right, which was very comfortable. Thinking that this expenditure is not only for the entertainment of the marshal of the Southern Expedition, but it must be paid by the Gonghe Zhengfu, why doesn't Wang Overseer enjoy it?

Zhao Guanhou didn't look for a woman, but a woman came to her, a woman with an outstanding appearance, a somewhat cold expression, and a woman who seemed to take the cold route took the initiative to come over to salute, toasted a glass of wine, and whispered: "Guanshuai, how about taking a step to speak?" Then he held his forehead with his hand, as if he was not strong enough to drink, Zhao Guanhou took advantage of the situation and hugged her until he came outside.

The woman waited downstairs and saluted, "Little woman Xue Liqing, give Shibo a salute." ”

Zhao Guanhou also knew the identity of the person who came at this time, and hurriedly flashed, "You are no longer Hanyun's side room, so there is no need for this gift." Now it's a communion, everyone is equal, so let's be exempt. If you have anything to say, just ask. ”

The woman named Xue Liqing, whose flower name is also based on her real name, was originally the most famous Oiran in the Eight Hutongs. staged a very earth-shattering story of a talented and beautiful woman with Yuan Hanyun, and married into Yuan's mansion. Originally, this was a story of Cinderella and the prince, but the ending was not good. Her temperament doesn't like to be restrained, the rules of the Yuan family are big, the sea vows and the mountain alliance is no more than red tape, and the exhausted Xue Liqing finally had to go down to the court to beg to re-list in Hankou and be her Mr. Hutong.

Because of the experience of the side room of the Second Highness, her worth is higher and her business is better, and she is now the popular king of the flower world in Hubei Pole. However, in front of Zhao Guanhou, she did not have the slightest flattery, and always reminded the other party of the identity of the uncle, obviously knowing that Zhao Guanhou loved the name of flowers, for fear of being remembered.

"Shibo, I just wanted to ask...... He...... How are you doing? ”

"You know Hanyun's temperament, I didn't like to be a second highness in the first place, and I became a common person, but I followed his heart. Besides, there's a little rosette in charge of him. You should know this woman, right? I am very good friends with Xiao Afeng. She is amazing, although Hanyun has money, she is in charge of it, and her fixed expenses are so much. As long as Hanyun buys things in a mess, she will cross her waist and shout, saying that the money is all gone, and everyone will be hungry in the second half of the month, otherwise she will go to a relative's house to eat. Hanyun loves face, how can he pull his face to rub rice? One thing descends one thing, but it can cure the cold clouds. ”

Zhao Guanhou couldn't help but laugh out loud when he remembered the report of the secret agent he sent to Henan and the scene he had witnessed. Although the two seem to be bullied by a man, only the parties themselves know the feelings. In Xue Liqing's eyes, she didn't know whether she was relieved or lost, and sighed leisurely

"Little Pink...... She is also touched by Xiao Afeng's light, and in front of me, she is a big girl at most...... Forget it, it's good to have a woman to serve him, and I'm relieved. Shibo, you ...... Be careful. ”

She has been in Hubei for a long time, and she has made friends with the official, business, and military circles, so she is very familiar with the local situation. Wang Zichun has a bad background, so he loves face very much. At first, because Duan Zhiquan only let him be the escort envoy and did not let him be the overseer, he almost resigned with the troops in Hubei. Later, because the government only awarded him the title of Zhuangwei General and Hubei Military Affairs Assistant and supervising Hubei military affairs, he was furious and had the title of Supreme General.

According to the co-communist system, the overseers of the former Jin governor's residence were awarded generals, and the overseers of the governor's residence were given generals. Hubei is the residence of the governor of Huguang, and he has to be a general, and there is no top word, is it tolerable or unbearable?

After receiving the appointment, Wang Zichun did not allow the civil and military officials of Hubei to congratulate him, the reason was that "Hubei was the original general, and now I have come to supervise military affairs, and I know that the establishment of the general is because of the person and not the place." His subordinates only addressed him as "Governor" and not as "General".

It wasn't until the beginning of the Northern and Southern War that Duan Zhiquan conferred on him the title of General Xiangwu, and transferred the knight medal awarded to him by an unknown small country in Taixi to Wang Zichun, that he was trapped. Until now, wherever Wang Zichun goes, he can't do without that medal.

Later, some Hubei students recognized that the epaulette on Wang Jueshuai's chest was just a knightly medal of honor awarded by a small country in the West.

If you say how much this kind of person respects his old superiors, he can't talk about it, when Duan Xiangyan was the overseer of Hubei, he was squeezed away by Wang Zichun, a low-level student, why is he so kind to Zhao Guanhou. It's nothing more than that he is in a difficult situation now, and he urgently needs Zhao Bu to save his life.

In the pre-Jin era, Zhang Xiangtao made money like mud and sand in Hubei, laying a very thick foundation for Hubei. The Hanyang Arsenal is currently the only large-scale military factory in the south. If Wang Zichun wants to expand the army, he has both the children of Hunan and Hubei and ready-made factories, and he can expand his strength. However, the king oversaw the army in the opposite direction, not only did not expand the army, but wanted to disarm. Under the drastic measures, Hubei now only has one division and one brigade of the provincial army, and the number of soldiers raised can be regarded as a model for all provinces.

Disarmament saves money, which is fine in the economic sphere, but there is a big problem with war. The goal of the Hunan army was to unify Huguang and bring Hubei into Hunan's sphere of influence. At the same time, because of the incessant civil strife, Sichuan is also preparing to divert disasters from abroad, using Hubei as a colony to relieve the pressure in the province. Several Haoqiang agreed that the first to enter Wuhan would be the king, and they were ready to go down the river to take Yichang and retake Wuhan.

Just before Zhao Guanhou arrived, Yichang was originally stationed in the first brigade of provincial troops, because Marshal Wang Jue forgot to pay for more than half a year, and decided to use a mutiny to ask for salaries by arm. Soldiers looted in the downtown area and poisoned a city.

But then I heard that the Lu army was going south, referring to the Anhui rebellion, only a dozen women were killed in the middle of the army, and more than 100 women were killed, and the women in their own were 100 times that of the Anwu army. Hubei's troops are single, and there is only one division left, and self-protection is still insufficient. Wang Zichun's purpose in wooing Zhao Guanhou was to let Lu Jun not go to Hunan to fight and stay in Hubei to take care of his home.

Xue Liqing thanked Zhao Guanhou for taking care of Yuan Hanyun's kindness and handed over this bottom. Zhao Guanhou asked: "You told me about this, aren't you afraid that Wang Zichun won't be able to let you go?" ”

"What can he do to me? Anyway, it's already been passed by him, it's nothing more than being bitten by a dog a few more times, it's nothing. That's what I do, I don't care. Besides, I live in the concession now, and if he wants to move me, he may not have the guts. ”

"The concession is not as good as Shandong insurance. In this way, I will write you something, you take the train to Shandong to find Yuqing, and she will arrange for you. If you want, you can also go to Henan. I can't blame you for what happened at the beginning, I can't stand the rules of the Yuan family, let alone you. Now that Hanyun has lived by himself, those rules are gone, if you go to him, he will be happy. ”

Xue Liqing shook his head, "A good horse doesn't eat back grass, since he has a little pink, why should I annoy people." I also asked Shibo to reward Zhang Lutiao, I heard that Shandong has good mountains and good waters, and there are many rich people, maybe when you get there, you can make a fortune. ”

When he returned upstairs, Zhao Guanhou's attitude was not as good as that of Fang Cai, and he repeatedly said that the military situation was urgent and that he must be mobilized to fight in Hunan as soon as possible. After completing the combat mission as soon as possible, it is better to return to Shandong. Wang Zichun hurriedly said: "Hubei has Zhang Zongyao's seventh division, which is enough to withstand the southern army, and most of the troops in the crown are northerners, who are not adapted to the water and soil, and when they first arrive in Hunan land, they are prone to diseases." It would be better to rest for a while in Hubei so that the brothers can adapt to the environment and distribute grain and grass in a humble position, which will also take time. When everything is ready, it is not too late for Guanshuai to set off. ”

Zhao Guanhou was a little embarrassed, "This ...... Not really, right? In general, the urging is very tight, and the cost of the army stationed is very large, and the daily military expenditure is ......."

"Well said, well said. The lowly is willing to sponsor 200,000 military expenses and pay the crown commander. ”

"You know, after the Battle of Shandong, my troops suffered a lot of losses, and many of them were not replenished, and now they need to recruit troops, and there are some difficulties in weapons. They all count on being captured on the battlefield in Hunan, and if they don't fight, how can they have supplies? ”

"This is not a problem, the humble official immediately wrote instructions to the Hanyang Arsenal, allocated 3,000 rifles and 20 cannons to ensure that you can expand two brigades."

The guests and hosts were happy, Wang Zichun hugged the beauty, returned to the office to rest, Zhao Guanhou's eyes were bright, and he was not the slightest drunk, but said to Gao Sheng: "Arrange the people in the guard battalion, in addition to the nails that go to Hunan, Hubei will also leave some." Wang Tulao estimates that in half a day, he will tell me the truth, I am thinking about it, should I take advantage of the situation and change him as an overseer? ”

Su Hanzhi was a little hesitant about this, the key was that Zhao Guanhou had no one in his pocket, not to mention that this kind of Yi Du could easily be regarded as rebellious. No matter how strong the Lu army is, it is not capable of fighting the world, and it is not wise to provoke the north and the south at the same time. Zhao Guanhou thought for a while, "Send a telegram to Jensen and Hannah and ask them to come over, the affairs here in Hubei are indispensable for their help." Tell them that there are many good people here, come quickly! ”
