Originally, Bai He was still a little hesitant, after all, fighting is not just about fighting, and the other party is still an army within the Beiyang establishment, which makes him somewhat jealous.

However, when Bai Liang talked about opium, Bai He couldn't sit still, if Han Zheng's ban on opium continued within a day, it would be difficult for him to feed his subordinates in the future, if there was no army, in this troubled world, I am afraid that there would be no scum left to eat!

If Han Zheng gave up encircling opium, no one would want to cause trouble against him, but looking at the other party's recent attitude, he actually had a long-term ban on smoking, which couldn't help but worry him.

Of course, what made him most angry was that the other party not only banned smoking, but also did not allow him to go ashore and cross the border in his own territory, which directly blocked the entry of opium on his side, and even the surrounding base areas were greatly affected, which offended many people.

The surrounding Mengcheng and Taihe, as well as the Hui Party in Bozhou, had already come to contact him many times, ready to agree to teach Han Zheng a lesson after the autumn harvest.

But as soon as Bai Liang said this, Bai He couldn't sit still, no one expected Han Zheng to develop so quickly, if it was after the autumn harvest, it would be difficult for his people to deal with that person.

Bai He thought of this, hesitated for a while, but then thought of Han Zheng's ruthlessness and the time that had been set by all parties, he could only give up, even if Han Zheng could develop again? At that time, it will not be his own family's business, and in other places, everyone will surround him when the time comes, not to mention whether his soldiers can be trained, even if they are trained, don't think they can please him!

Thinking about it this way, Bai He didn't want to be this up-and-coming bird, so he vetoed Bai Liang's suggestion.

Bai Liang walked out angrily, a little dejected, but he didn't take two steps out of the door, but he didn't know what idea he had come up with, so he smiled and quickened his steps.

After Bai Liang went out, Bai He thought about it again, and felt that his idea was correct, and then he remembered the third aunt he had just married, as well as the other party's posture and delicate body, and he was a little hot in his heart unconsciously, and he also reacted below.

Then, Bai He turned and walked out, towards the side door, and soon after, there were several coquettish snorts from the next room, followed by heavy gasps.

Not to mention how many rounds Bai He fought with his third aunt in the small bedroom of his study, let's just say that on the other side, after Bai Liang left with an unwilling face, he came up with another idea.

In fact, although Bai Liang's character is reckless, he doesn't dare to do anything behind his eldest brother's back.

But the bad thing is in an incident a while ago, when several party leaders were discussing Han Zheng's matter, Bai Liang was ridiculed by a goateeed old man under the local boss in Mengcheng, saying that he had the biggest loss on his side, but he didn't dare to attack Han Zheng, and said that Bai Liang listened to his eldest brother in everything and said that Bai Liang had no responsibility, not like a man.

Originally, Bai Liang was not so easy to fool, so he naturally knew the ill intentions in the other party's words, although the local party was connected with each other and was like a family on the surface, there were a lot of dirty things in secret.

But this time Bai Liang was said to be not a man, this sentence is unbearable for a man, and coupled with the contempt in the eyes of the other party when he said this, how could Bai Liang still sit still? At that time, I almost had a seizure, but when I thought of my eldest brother, I was afraid of causing trouble to my eldest brother, so I endured it, but this seed was also planted.

Recently, Bai Liang's income has been getting less and less, and several opium dealers have come to complain to the eldest brother, and even stuffed bad benefits behind their backs to Bai Liang, and the anger in Bai Liang's heart has exploded.

And recently, in order to make up for the loss of opium Fang Min, they have begun to make money from big families, but how many times can this thing be done?!

Thinking of Han Zheng's side, there are only 300 soldiers who can fight, although it is said that it is a returning soldier in the Beiyang system, but Bai Liang doesn't believe it, can the three hundred newcomers from the Beiyang army still survive the sky? !

Therefore, Bai Liang was not afraid of Han Zheng, and he also thought that the plan set by the eldest brother and others was right earlier, but recently, Han Zheng's wanton expansion and development, coupled with the supply of seventy or eighty percent of Huai salt in his hands, could no longer make Bai Liang feel at ease.

And what the old man with the goatee said finally came to fruition at this time, Bai Liang disobeyed the explanation of the eldest brother Bai He for the first time, but he didn't know that this was also the last time.

Bai Liang returned to his residence, found his henchman wolf dog, and explained to the other party like this, the other party nodded secretly after listening, and then turned around and left, leaving Bai Liang sitting on the chair with a smirk on his face.

Han Zheng had just recently trained the recruits to come out, and he took advantage of this opportunity to call a meeting to arrange the newly trained recruits according to the predetermined establishment.

The four full-strength infantry teams were handed over to Chen Feng to be in charge of the first team, the deputy captain was selected from the more than 20 junior officers who had passed the class, and the other junior officers were in charge of Chen Feng himself.

It is not difficult for several people to select junior officers, because Han Zheng has paid attention to education in the army since he took charge of the army, and some soldiers who are eager and have ideas have consciously learned from their superiors, which is also the reason why Han Zheng is relieved.

The second team is in charge of Duan Nian, the third team is Xiang Jie, the fourth team is Lin Xiang, and the arrangement of the three is the same as Chen Feng, they all began to take charge of the army alone, and there are about 130 people in their hands plus a few personal soldiers.

It was also this time that Han Zheng released Cao Debiao from the guards, and Cao Debiao became Lin Xiang's attack. As for the guards, after Han Zheng thought about it for a long time, combined with Zhou Liangfeng's recent performance, he handed over the entire guard to Han Qiang and Zhou Liangfeng to be responsible.

The gendarmerie is still in charge of Wang Xian, and recently, the role of the gendarmerie has become more and more prominent, and Wang Xian's performance has also made Han Zheng completely see Wang Xian's role in this position.

As for the candidates for the transport team, they were recommended by Zheng Rong, and a subordinate named Li Ting took over.

Li Ting's person Han Zheng knows, he was there in the officer training, his name is the same as his personality, but the young man in his twenties loves to blush when he talks angrily, but he is not sloppy in doing things. Therefore, Zheng Ronggang recommended it, and Han Zheng agreed.

Sun Zhongwu and Xu Tian are one of the few people who have really gone to school in the army, with a diploma from middle school, at that time, this was already considered an intellectual, the two of them had been under Xiang Jie in the army before, but in military affairs, the two have always been mediocre, and the two themselves know their own shortcomings in this regard.

Therefore, this time, Han Zheng put Xu Tian in the police guard to temporarily serve as the captain, as long as the observation is appropriate, it will be determined, and Xu Tian is also happy about such an arrangement.

However, Sun Zhongwu volunteered to go to the factory, and Han Zheng also arranged him to a cotton textile mill and a flour mill, first following the people arranged by Li Yiru to study for a period of time, and then arrange specific positions.

However, what Han Zheng didn't expect was that it was this arrangement that made his industry develop rapidly in the future for a period of time, but this is a later story, so let's not talk about it for the time being.

Because of the lack of manpower, Han Zheng was in charge of the Civil Intelligence Department and the Engineer Team that investigated the intelligence.

What Han Zheng didn't expect the most was that Li Feng didn't choose a veteran when choosing artillery, all of them were selected from the recruits, in Li Feng's words, it was easy to teach, in the last few meetings, Han Zheng didn't ask him to come over, let him teach artillery shooting training outside, and Han Zheng didn't know much about the coordinates and yardage, so he didn't interfere with the other party at all, and left it all to Li Feng, a professional. Every day, there was a rumbling sound of artillery not far from the barracks, and for a few days, the ordinary people in the county town were slowly getting used to it.

As for the ten heavy machine guns and more than 20 light machine guns that everyone coveted, Han Zheng asked each of the four infantry armies to set up a machine gun shed, with two heavy machine guns and three light machine guns in each shed, so that each team was satisfied, the firepower output was strengthened, and the combat effectiveness of each team was naturally increased by half.

The remaining ten or so light machine guns were all placed in the guard, and a few people did not have any opinions.

This arrangement does not mean that Han Zheng is afraid of death, in fact, Han Zheng's guards also play the role of fire suppression and support at the necessary time. The two heavy machine guns were mounted on the watchtower outside the barracks door.

As for the ship, Han Zheng's two trophies were each returned to the steamer, after all, out of the river under Han Zheng's jurisdiction, there are still some water bandits from time to time, and this small steamer also plays the role of transportation and escort, and two heavy machine guns and dozens of rifles are enough to deter some water bandits on the river.

Even if there are occasional unsightly, they all hate the bottom of the river and fatten the big fish in the river.

On March 18, the sky was just dark, and in the direction of Fuyang, Bai Liang, who had been prepared for a long time, took advantage of the night to take advantage of the night to take more than 400 people under his control to the northeast, and Bai Liang left with his subordinates.

Just an hour later, Bai He received news from his subordinates, and he knew what Bai Liang was doing.

Although he was a little annoyed that Bai Liang was good at making claims without telling him this time, he didn't worry too much, and finally even made a decision to let Bai Liang go first, although the four hundred people and guns may not necessarily win Han Zheng, but nothing will happen, and he will lead the team to go in person at dawn and press his younger brother in the back.

After thinking of this, Bai He, who had already gotten up from the bed, lay back and hugged his aunt and wife to go back to sleep.

Bai He and his subordinates were ready to sneak attack Han Zheng's troops in Vortex Yang, so he also knew that time was tight and wanted to attack at dawn, but after all, he overestimated his group of subordinates who bragged all day long.

The group traveled all the way, and in the middle of the night, they passed flower arrangements and horse shops. But by this time, Bai Liang's subordinates were so tired that they couldn't walk, and they didn't want to continue to walk.

Bai Liang pumped a few people hard, but it didn't have much effect, and the soldiers were very angry, so they couldn't, so they could only promise that once the Han Zheng Department was defeated, the money they had robbed did not need to be handed over, and they could loot it at will for two days at will.

In this way, all the subordinates reached Lixin, who was actually under their control, and at this time it was already dawn, and Bai Liang's wishful thinking was finally broken.

Bai Liang could only rest in Lixin City for half a day with his men who were tired all night, replenish some water and food, and continue to march towards Wuyang in the afternoon, and launch an attack at night.

On 19 March, after Han Zheng's morning training, after lunch, he was about to lie down and rest for a while, when a public intelligence office that was looking for news came to report that an unknown person had appeared in the direction of Lixin, and it was preliminarily determined that he had come from the direction of Fuyang overnight.

The other party rested in the Lixin area for a while in the morning, and it seems that he will continue to come here in the afternoon, as the so-called comer is not good, the people's situation department has smelled a trace of unusual atmosphere, and after receiving this news, he did not dare to slack off, and used the only few horses in the camp Han Zheng to transfer to the people's affairs department, so that the other party just arrived in Lixin County, and handed the news to Han Zheng.

Han Zheng knew that the situation was urgent, so he took the information over, and looked at it carefully, although he was surprised, he was not very afraid, the other party was rushing from Fuyang to his side, it would definitely not be a good thing, looking at the other party's posture of traveling at night and rushing directly, he didn't even bend, and the target must be himself.

Fortunately, his people's affairs department has slowly infiltrated the surroundings recently, otherwise he would not have discovered the other party's movements so early, although it is only one afternoon of arrangement time, but it is enough.

Bai Liang naturally didn't know that his actions had been discovered by Han Zheng at this time, which was also doomed to Bai Liang's tragedy.
