Yuan Shikai's expression remained unchanged, and he listened to Duan Qirui's words seriously.

Recently, it has been particularly important for Yuan Shikai, and when he heard that there seemed to be some changes in the south, he was also a little annoyed in his heart.

Although the commotion in that small place in northern Anhui did not affect the overall situation much, it conveyed the restless thoughts of some people in the south, which made Yuan Shikai annoyed.

In particular, when I heard that the revolutionaries were active again in northern Anhui, and then thought about my strategic arrangements for the next period of time, I knew in my heart that this matter was not trivial, and moreover, if the north and south of Anhui were connected, once the entire territory of Anhui was occupied by the south, one of our own exits would be blocked.

The room was a little quiet for a while, Yuan Shikai groaned, not knowing what he was thinking, and after Duan Qirui said this, he began to keep silent.

It wasn't until a long time later that Yuan Shikai said: "The Han Zheng you are talking about is the young man who defeated tens of thousands of bandits with the soldiers of a county, I read the battle report in the past two days, and I heard that this junior is also a character, but I heard that he is a student who returned from studying abroad?" ”

Duan Qirui's heart moved, he didn't know that Yuan Shikai remembered the incident of Han Zheng's study abroad, his heart moved, but he didn't dare to think about it, so he had to answer: "Well, it was when he returned from studying abroad, and later more than a dozen of his classmates were co-opted by Shanghai, so he took one of them back to us." As for later, it is said that he was arranged in our third town, as an independent target standard, and last time he made some small contributions when he fought with the south. After the end of the war, he inserted his people in the place north of Anhui, and the performance was not bad, by the way, he also said in the letter that several places around him were regularly sending letters to the south, and this time there were also, but he sent people to intercept them, but they did not stop. ”

"Oh, this guy is good, is there anything out of the ordinary?" Yuan Shikai said that Duan Qirui had followed Yuan Shikai for a long time, until Yuan Shikai asked so, it seemed that he was preparing to use Han Zheng to contain southern Anhui, so it seems that Han Zheng is good luck.

"Not really, but this person has dealt with the revolutionaries indirectly, and the two sides are in full swing."

Yuan Shikai's face changed, and he opened his mouth and said, "Oh? How do you say that? ”

Duan Qirui: "It was the revolutionaries who once tested this person and wanted to win him over, but this person seemed to not know, but he turned his head and pulled out a nail in the north of Anhui. ”

Yuan Shikai twisted his body and said, "This is a bit interesting, how is the combat strength of this person's subordinates now?" If it doesn't work, we still have to arrange for people to be more stable, what do you say about Ni Sichong? ”

Hearing this, Duan Qirui knew that his trip today seemed to be a success, although Yuan Shikai had the meaning of changing generals later, but he understood Yuan Shikai's meaning, if he was transferred to the department, it would not be very suitable for Yuan Shikai, who was now striving to be safe.

And he took hundreds of thousands of yuan of filial piety from the other party, and it was enough to do this: "As far as I know, there are now more than 3,000 troops and several places around the confrontation, but the ammunition is a little lacking, after fighting the bandits, now there is a feeling of powerlessness, if you supplement part of the past, he should be able to enhance some strength, at least it will drag the revolutionary party in Anhui, and it can also save a lot of military spending, it is enough to deal with the situation in northern Anhui, by the way, this person also sent a letter to Commander Zhang." ”

When Yuan Shikai heard this, the corners of his mouth smiled, and he didn't say much, and said to Duan Qirui: "Tell me, how much benefit has this young man from Han Zheng given you?" You can't hide it. ”

When Duan Qirui heard this, he was not nervous, and said with a smile: "I also accidentally made a small fortune, after this young man defeated the bandits, he gained a lot of benefits, and the thieves collected a lot of stolen goods, and gave 10,000 yuan, which is enough for my few losers to spend a while, and the president can't go back." ”

Yuan Shikai laughed: "You, you, when will you be able to accept your temperament, you are so old, and you still accept your little wife all day long, okay, don't want it, if I really want the money back, it is estimated that those girls in your family should rebel against you, haha." ”

Duan Qirui smiled awkwardly and did not speak, but his eyes showed gratitude at the right time.

"What did Commander Zhang say?" Yuan Shikai smiled, and then asked.

Duan Qirui replied: "I heard that Commander Zhang also received a letter from those people around Han Zheng at the same time, and later refuted Han Zheng's request for ammunition, and it seems that he was still quite angry, and even said that Han Zheng was messing around. ”

Duan Qirui was salivating when he saw Zhang Xun's subordinates, and the other party was not treated well in the Beiyang Army, so he seized the opportunity to get some eye medicine.

"He, maybe he was frightened by a letter from those people, forget it, just give Han Zheng some ammunition over there, but forget about the money, after all, they eat the place, if they give it, others will make trouble."

After Yuan Shikai heard that Zhang Xun received a letter, his eyes flickered for a moment, and then he didn't seem to notice, so he said.

Duan Qirui hurriedly responded, and when he saw Yuan Shikai close his eyes, he retreated softly.

And Han Zheng, who was in the Vortex Yang place, didn't know that the two letters he sent really had a role, and the filial piety he sent to Duan Qirui had also been rewarded.

This time it can be regarded as Han Zheng's luck, on the 5th, the four governors of Hunan, Guangdong, Jiangxi, and Anhui jointly issued a telegram, sternly opposing the big loans. And the governor of Anhui Province was Bai Wenwei, who controlled southern Anhui.

Bai Wenwei is not a simple person, but also a revolutionary predecessor, he participated in the Wuchang Uprising, and later made a lot of contributions to the revolutionary party, especially during the peace talks between the north and the south, he ignored the requirements of Nanjing, and continued to attack the north without authorization, which made the north hate him.

After the peace between the north and the south, he was arranged by the south to enter Anhui, and in late April of the first or second year, he took office as the governor of Anhui, and his strong policy made the people in the north wake up, and at this critical time, this situation appeared in northern Anhui, Yuan Shikai thought that it was the result of Bai Wenwei's sideways intervention in this, and Bai Wenwei's intention was to gradually penetrate the sphere of influence in northern Anhui.

Moreover, Bai Wenwei publicly announced in May that he was opposes Yuan Shikai's loan, which has become the best explanation of the reasons for this fluctuation in the north!

Under such circumstances, Han Zheng's request was granted.

A few people in northern Anhui who were waiting for a reply didn't know that they not only did not put Han Zheng in an embarrassing situation, but because of their previous convictions and the letter sent to the south, they were completely passive and doomed to their fate!

Han Zheng received news from Duan Qirui in mid-May, and in late May, more than 100,000 rounds of ammunition and 600 rifles were sent to the north, and what made Han Zheng even more excited was that the north generously sent dozens of Krupp 65mm mountain guns and fifteen Makqin heavy machine guns to himself!

And with these things, Han Zheng's combat power has doubled, and at the same time, Han Zheng has also seen one thing from these things, that is, it is very likely that there will be a problem in the north-south direction, and he is also regarded as a pawn who maintains stability in the Beiyang Army in northern Anhui.

And Han Zheng is not afraid of being treated as a pawn, if he is a pawn every time, and he sends such rich equipment every time, he would rather be a pawn every time!

And because of this, Han Zheng looked at the proud escort officer was a lot more pleasing to the eye, Han Zheng made a rare gesture and gave the escort officer a whole thousand oceans, of course, this thousand oceans is not so easy to get, for example, now in front of Han Zheng, he has entered proudly, and his face is full of flattery.

But this was not enough, after the escort officer promised to go back, he promised to vigorously publicize the difficult conditions of Han Zheng's army, but after killing the enemy fiercely, he once again got a thousand oceans under Zheng Rong's painful gaze.

At this time, Han Zheng's army finally officially formed a decisive force, 5,000 soldiers who were good at fighting, 5,000 murderous guns, nearly 20 cannons and 50 heavy machine guns, enough for him to sweep all the people who stood in his way north of the Huai River.

The knife has been sharpened, the bullet has been loaded, and the target is the entire Anhui region north of the Huai River!

However, the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, what Han Zheng didn't know was that his harvest was something he didn't expect, at that time, he could wake up with a smile in his dreams! (To be continued.) )
