Chapter 145: Never Die
When the village slaughter incident broke out, not only Han Zheng was dumbfounded, but Zhang Xun didn't expect his subordinates to do such a thing!
Zhang Xun's subordinates have always been unruly, but this time they have just come down from the battlefield, and the smell of blood on their bodies has not yet dissipated.
At four o'clock in the afternoon of September 26, Zhang Xun was preparing for the deployment in Huaibei, and received a telegram in the telegraph room there.
When this telegram arrived in Zhang Xun's hand, Zhang Xun was talking with Li Yan about sending troops, and when he heard that it was sent by Han Zheng, he immediately chuckled lightly and said to Li Yan: "Is it that you came here to ask for peace?" But it was late, and I stopped reading the telegram. ”
waved his hand to send this person out, but who knew that the signal soldier in the communication room was full of frustration, and did not follow what Zhang Xun said, but said: "Boss, something big has happened, let's take a look." ”
"Oh? Then take a look. Zhang Xun smiled, and then reached out to take it, but he didn't realize that his trouble was coming until this time, but Li Yan next to him seemed to see that something was wrong, and couldn't help holding his breath, his eyes became a little serious.
However, soon, Zhang Xun's face suddenly turned pale, and then he saw the elderly Mr. Zhang, who suddenly slapped the table heavily, his body trembled, and he almost fell!
Li Yan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stepped forward to help, but was pushed away by Zhang Xun, Zhang Xun held the telegram in his hand, his eyes showed a terrifying cold light, and after a long sigh of relief, he suddenly opened his mouth and scolded: "Shaft dares?!" ”
The splitter was going to smash the telegram out.
Li Yan didn't know what was going on, he didn't know that his benefactor paid attention to etiquette, why did he start such a big fire this time, could it be that Han Zheng wiped out the forward troops?
Puzzled, he quietly picked up the telegram, and was stunned when he saw the first sentence in front of him, only to see that the telegram began with "Butcher!" You will be a sinner of the nation and the scum of the nation! “
Li Yan's eyes were straight at that time, since it was Han Zheng's telegram, the two parties had already torn their faces, but the other party would not say such a thing, and couldn't help but look at the payment again, but it was written by Han Zheng!
Li Yan was surprised in his heart, originally Han Zheng's tone was still polite, but now it is so rampant, in his heart, he continued to look down, when he saw what Han Zheng said later, the sweat on his forehead suddenly couldn't help but flow all over his forehead, and his heart was beating even more!
Rather than saying that this is a telegram, it is better to say a crusade against Zhang Xun and a declaration of war, in the whole telegram, in a tone of scolding the national thief, the Zhou Village tragedy was told in its original form, and then at the end, there was a sentence that made Zhang Xun's temples jump suddenly: "I will personally raise the army, severely punish the murderers, punish the national thieves, and personally bring those beasts to justice, to thank the world, to thank the people in the territory, to thank the national law and the dignity of the national government!" ”
It wasn't until after reading it that Li Yan couldn't help but reach out and cover his heart, only to feel that his heart was pounding uncontrollably, as if it was about to jump out of the cavity, which made Li Yan's face more and more ugly, and his eyes were full of panic and fear.
Zhang Xun was gasping angrily on the side, his chest kept rising and falling, but he hadn't gotten the news about this matter yet, and he couldn't help but feel a little lucky, plus since the end of the Qing Dynasty, the lives of the people in this troubled world were like dogs, and now Zhang Xun's anger was more because of Lin Feng's angry scolding in the telegram and one after another national thieves!
However, at this time, Zhang Xun paid attention to Li Yan's side, and naturally found that Li Yan's face was abnormal.
"My lord, something really happened this time, so I'd better talk about it after reading it." Li Yan lost a sigh, tried to calm himself down, and handed the telegram to Zhang Xun again, Li Yan saw that Zhang Xun was only angry, but he was not the slightest frightened, thinking that the other party did not know about this matter.
Zhang Xun stretched out his hand to take it, then put the telegram aside, quickly picked up Li Yan, frowned and said: "Well, I've already read it, presumably this is that Han Xiao'er's slanderous words, otherwise we wouldn't have received the news, if this matter is true, we will naturally punish the offending officers and soldiers, but this Han thief actually committed the next crime, it really deserves to die!" ”
When Li Yan heard this, he felt even more pain in his heart, almost making it difficult for him to breathe: "Boss, this matter is extraordinary!" That Han Zheng dared to write directly and scold angrily at this time, it seems that it should be true, I think the most important thing we should do now is to order the army to stay in place, stop advancing, and at the same time bring the company commander back for trial and deal with the aftermath. ”
When Zhang Xun heard this, his brows furrowed, but at this time, he was not thinking about the aftermath, but thinking about whether he could characterize this matter as Han Zhengfang's slander, and then take this opportunity to drive Han Zheng's sphere of influence out of the Huaibei region!
At the same time, it is also possible to take advantage of military victories and then downplay this matter!
Therefore, after hearing Han Zheng's suggestion, Zhang Xun said with a gloomy face: "Brother Li, it's really hard to say what the truth of this matter is now, if we can suppress it, it would be the best choice." I think what we have to pay attention to next is not this incident, but another thing that was triggered from this incident, that is, Han Xiaoer is preparing to tear his face this time, since the other party wants to use this matter to make a fuss, it is impossible for us to suppress this matter, let's take the initiative to pick out this matter, tell the newspaper, and then splash this basin of sewage on the other party! ”
Li Yan only woke up from this incident now, and when he heard Zhang Xun's words, he didn't think so, so he had to say: "My lord, it seems that this method will not work, with the character of Han Zheng that I understand, I am afraid that this matter has been penetrated by Han Zheng, and if we do it again, it will only cause jokes." “
"And how do you deal with this?" Zhang Xun obviously didn't have a clue at this time.
When Li Yan heard this, a touch of sadness suddenly rose in his heart, seeing Zhang Xun's eyes showing a fierce light, he knew that it was impossible for the other party to change his mind, and at this time, Li Yan could only grit his teeth tightly, forcibly endure the pain in his heart, and suggested: "Actually, the best way is to kill all those involved in this matter, and then deny this matter, and then destroy the bodies of those victims." ”
Li Yan's method is not ruthless, in one sentence, it is related to the life and death of more than 100 lives, who said that scholars don't kill people?!
When Zhang Xun heard this suggestion, he immediately stopped, his face was red and white, regardless of whether this matter was a good way or not, but once the matter was not secret, it was very likely to cause a mutiny in the army, Zhang Xun didn't want to bet!
"This matter still needs to be discussed," Zhang Xun said in Li Yan's expectant gaze.
When Li Yan heard this, he couldn't help it anymore, and his heart was blocked: "Old Shuai" hadn't finished speaking, and he actually fell headlong!
When Zhang Xun saw it, he was shocked and quickly called the doctor.
Inside and outside the hospital, there was chaos all of a sudden.
Not long after, Li Yan finally woke up faintly, feeling that his heart was better, and then he opened his eyes slightly.
At this moment, I heard Zhang Xun's voice outside: "What happened to Staff Officer Li?" ”
"Dashuai, things seem to be a little bad, Staff Officer Li has a heart problem, don't be angry, don't be too excited, otherwise it's easy to relapse and your life is in danger." Then, a doctor's answer.
There were a few more muttering words outside, Li Yan only felt that he was a little tired, and couldn't help sighing, and then opened his mouth and shouted weakly: "Old handsome."
Listening to Li Yan's words, there was a commotion outside, and then Zhang Xun walked in quickly: "Lao Li, hurry up and lie down and rest, you are too tired, you will get better after a good rest." ”
When Li Yan heard this, he smiled reluctantly, looking at the white hair on the old handsome's head, his heart suddenly became sour, maybe some things are better done by himself, and it can be regarded as repaying the old handsome for his kindness over the years.
"Lao Shuai, please ask Lao Shuai to promise me about that matter"
"Okay, just do as you say!" Seeing Li Yan staring at himself tightly, Zhang Xun knew that the other party was for his own good, so he had to nod and agree.
Li Yan shook his head, and then ignored Zhang Xun's obstruction, and forcibly did it: "Old Shuai, let someone else do this thing, I don't worry, let me finish this matter for Lao Shuai." ”
Looking at the pale Li Yan, where was Zhang Xun willing, but Li Yan kept insisting, Zhang Xun finally had no choice but to agree: "This matter, since you want to go, you can!" But you have to make sure to give me back, and once you do it, you have to cut through the mess quickly, and no accidents happen! ”
Just as Li Yan was worried, when Han Zheng sent this telegram, another telegram was copied to the Beijing government at the same time, and in order to prevent all parties from blocking this matter, they used their own resources to send the news to newspapers in various parts of Shanghai.
Not long after the local establishment was established, the Northern Anhui Daily, which Han Zheng handed over to Li Ying to manage, put this matter on the front page for the first time, and quickly produced more than 3,000 copies and spread them all over Anhui!
When Han Zheng announced that he would rush to Huaibei in person and severely punish the murderer, the people's hearts were boiling, the army was quickly assembled, and the people were happy to see them off
After receiving Han Zheng's telegram, several newspapers were like flies smelling the smell of eggs, and they were very excited, and some of them couldn't believe it, and even some newspapers thought that this was a farce.
But when it was learned through the Northern Anhui Daily that Han Zheng, a rising star in Beiyang, personally led the army to Huaibei, these newspapers finally realized that something was unusual, and in surprise, they published the news, and then it spread rapidly.
And because Zhang Xun once led the pigtail army to directly attack Nanjing, the holy land of revolution, causing a huge tragedy, those revolutionaries lurking in various parts of the south who had a deep hatred for him jumped out at this time to accuse Zhang Xun of arrogant subordinates, poisoning the common people, and the people's resentment was boiling.
From Nanjing to Shanghai, whether it is the south or the north with its own thoughts, whether willing or unwilling, they all denounced this matter, and at the same time, a large number of reporters drove into Anhui to find the truth of this matter!
At the same time, with the newspaper publicity, it was inevitable that there were various resumes of Han Zheng, as well as a series of measures and policies implemented in northern Anhui, but the outside world had a new understanding of Han Zheng, and for a while, many aspiring young people flocked to Anhui to find the fertile soil for their ideals!
Of course, some people applaud, naturally some people will not believe it, saying that it is Han Zheng who harbors evil intentions and deliberately misleads the people in order to realize his ambitions, and some newspapers sponsored by the royalist party have such remarks, but in the tide of public opinion, this kind of voice is difficult to set off a big storm at all, and it is quickly drowned.
No matter what, this matter has been widely known, and the name Zhang Xun is completely stinky, unless Zhang Xun can really beat Han Zheng down, and then suppress this matter strongly, and then destroy all human and physical evidence, and push it to Han Zheng.
As a result, Han Zheng and Zhang Xun became endless.
But is this because Zhang Xun thinks about this matter too beautifully (to be continued.) )
