If he hadn't seen this flag, Nie Jinku might still have the courage to resist, after seeing the flag of the third division of the army, what little blood he had was all in vain, and he ran away with a strange scream, and the two soldiers who carried the sliding rod were his cronies, and they were also righteous at the critical moment, carrying Nie Jinku and running wildly, and disappeared in an instant.

The commanders of the pressure formation all ran away, not to mention the soldiers, only hated their parents for having two legs less, and ran as hard as they could, but no matter how fast they ran, they were not as fast as the guns, and the soldiers of the third division were like rabbits in the back with slamming guns, and those who ran slowly died on the spot, and those who did not die were so frightened that their souls were scattered, and they thought that the seven and a half pounds on their shoulders were too much of a hindrance, so they took them off and threw them on the side of the road, and they were immediately as light as a swallow and ran fast.

In fact, the troops out of the city were not the men and horses of the Third Division, but Chen Shou's green hat battalion, and the brothers of the Third Division did not disdain to fight against lightweight opponents like the provincial army, but the bandit-born green hat battalion had an innate enthusiasm for such things as pursuing the officers and soldiers.

The provincial army fled so fast that even the bitter water well poles, who had always been known for their scuds, had to bow to the wind, and they chased them out of Erli Road and picked up two very valuable Dayangluo.

Two eighty-percent new German-made Grussen 57 guns, the shell boxes were not opened before they became trophies.

In addition to the two 57 fast guns, more than 200 firearms and more than 3,000 bullets were seized.

The county magistrate Liu, who was watching the battle at the head of the city, was very puzzled and asked, "Why don't you take advantage of the victory to pursue and prevent future troubles?" ”

Chen Zikun put down the binoculars and said, "Kill Nie Jinku, who will send us guns and ammunition in the future." ”

The crowd burst into laughter.

……

Nie Jinku fled to the riverside in a hurry, and there were still more than 300 people in the rout, and he couldn't help but be complacent: It seems that Lao Tzu's ability to lead troops is still on the post, and more than half of the men and horses can be left after fighting with Wu Peifu's third division.

The ferry boat was still waiting by the river, and the defeated soldiers got on the boat in frustration, and without saying a word, they sailed to the south bank, when suddenly the sound of a motor sounded, and a fast boat with a dragon flag rushed out of the reeds, followed by a dozen sampans, and at the bow of the boat stood a shirtless man, with either a gun or a knife in his hand.

Not good! When the water bandits came, the rout soldiers panicked, the boat boss quickly stopped the boat, and Nie Jinku negotiated with the water bandits.

"Who's the boss?"

The other party replied: "It's Brother Chaojianglong." ”

Nie Jinku said: "My brother is from the 11th Regiment of the Jiangdong Army, please give me a convenience, and make up for it later." ”

The other party replied in a strange way: "You are an army, why did you come to the river, and besides, this outfit doesn't look like it, how do you dress like a land bandit, are you here to rob us of our business?" ”

Nie Jinku hurriedly said: "Misunderstanding and misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding, don't hurt the harmony." ”

The other party said: "If you want to be angry, you can leave the gun behind, and the people will get out." ”

"Boss, let's give face, why are we also members of the provincial army, I'm afraid it's not good to tear our faces." Nie Jinku's words are a bit lacking in confidence, although the provincial army occupies the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, but it is powerless against the forces on the Huaijiang River, and the brothers of the 11th Regiment are not accustomed to water, and if they really fight, they can only feed Wang Ba.

"Face is earned by yourself, not by others." A tall, dark-skinned bandit came out of the cabin and said lazily, the sun shining on him as if it were trimmed with gold.

"Mixed River Dragon!" People whispered in horror, there are many legends of this water bandit, it is said that he can hold his breath underwater for three days and three nights, which is more powerful than the white stripes in the waves in the Water Margin.

"Okay, let's make friends, brothers, leave the gun, let's go." Nie Jinku gritted his teeth and finally made a wise choice.

The 11th Regiment returned to the south bank cleanly, except for the hat on his head and the clothes on his body, there was nothing left, even the two artillery pieces sponsored by the division commander were lost, and Chen Zikun was cheaper, this time Nie Jinku was really scared, he couldn't beat it, and he couldn't explain it to the overseers, and he almost turned white overnight.

In the end, the master gave him a clever trick, fabricated a war report to the provincial capital, and said that he led his subordinates to disguise themselves as bandits and attacked the county seat of Nantai.

Nie Jinku did as planned, and sure enough, he was fine, and he was encouraged by the Overseer, of course, this is another story.

……

There are thousands of troops stationed in the county, the bandits will never dare to brush the tiger's whiskers again, the provincial army has suffered such a big setback, unless Zhiwan starts the war again, otherwise it will not attack on a large scale, the rear is stable, Chen Zikun is ready to leave for Shanghai, step by step to realize his ideals.

The escort envoy left the station, the customs defense was taken over by Chief of Staff Yan, and the civil affairs were in charge of the county magistrate Liu, which must be foolproof.

Chen Zikun had many attachés, in addition to Shen Yao's two wives, there were adjutant Zhao Yufeng, Ma Benwang Degui Li Changsheng, service soldier Shuangxi Qingfeng, logistics director Gong Zijun, as well as 12 carefully selected guards, maids and mothers-in-law who served his wife, etc.

In order to hide people's eyes, everyone wears civilian clothes, takes a passenger boat down the river, all the way down the river, the river scenery is beautiful, in a blink of an eye to the famous Tiger Beach, the boat boss led the sailors to carefully pass through the reef, suddenly there was a motor sound, the boat boss put his hand on the pergola to see, and immediately shouted: "Not good, there are water bandits!" ”

Chen Zikun was calm and composed, he had already known that the bandits on the Huai River were raging, and this trip was fully prepared, the guards on the ship were all veterans who had seen blood, and the long guns and short guns were fully equipped, and there was a cargo ship following closely behind the passenger ship, and there was a Makqin hidden in the cabin.

Gong Zijun was frightened and told Chen Zikun that this was the flag of the big water bandits and the river dragon, but all ships that did not plant the small flag issued by him would be robbed, and we were afraid that it would be no exception.

Chen Zikun smiled indifferently: "I like to deal with bandits, and today I want to meet this chaotic river dragon." ”

The machine boat slowly pasted over, and a big man jumped onto the passenger boat, shaking the bow of the ship, and suddenly fell silent.

One of them had a shaved head, no eyebrows or beard, and a head like an egg, and his bare feet were treaded on the planks of the boat, as if he were nailed to it, and let the boat shake without moving.

If he was to change to an ordinary person, he would have kowtowed and begged for mercy, but Chen Zikun was still sitting comfortably on the recliner at the bow of the boat, wearing a white Panama straw hat and ink crystal glasses to show his grace.

He is naturally confident, the water bandits are only twenty guns, there are more than this number on his own boat, and there is a Makqin aimed at them in the back, even if the water quality is good, it can't withstand the dense strafing of bullets.

The mixed river dragon is very tall, with a black dragon tattooed on his body, his skin is tanned by the sun, his muscles are strong and the lines are smooth, and his eyes are uninhibited, so he is not a good kind at first glance.

He looked at Chen Zikun, a little puzzled, and asked, "Are you the owner of the ship?" ”

Chen Zikun nodded: "It's the boat I rented." ”

"What's your last name and what do you do?"

"The surname is Lao Yin'er, and this piece of land in Jiangbei is under my control." Chen Zikun said with a smile.

Mingjiang Long's pupils shrank, and the other party's calmness made him a little uncertain, Lao Yin'er is a black word on the water, and the surname Chen can't be said to be surnamed Chen, if you want to call Lao Yin'er, the boundary of Jiangbei is big, and Nantai County is a county magistrate can't manage such a wide area, can it be said that this master is ......

Chen Zikun stood up, a little taller than the Mixed River Dragon: "Your Excellency is the Mixed River Dragon, I have heard your name." ”

Chao Jianglong finally understood who this young man surnamed Chen was.

"I heard that Xia Dalong had a stroke because of your anger?" He suddenly asked a question that he couldn't hit.

"yes." Chan replied.

"You have a grudge against him?"

"There's no hatred, I just don't like him."

Mixed Jianglong nodded: "Fortunately, you didn't kill him, otherwise I would have killed you." ”

Chen Zikun smiled: "He is kind to you?" ”

"No, Xia Dalong's life is mine, and no one can kill him." Mixed Jianglong ** said, took out a small apricot yellow flag from his waist and threw it over: "Stick this in the bow of the boat, and no one will trouble you all the way to the provincial capital." ”

Chen Zikun took the small flag, smiled, and accepted it.

"Mixed Jianglong, I think you're a little familiar." He said.

"Really? Then you may be mistaken, we haven't met. The mixed river dragon glanced at him, and as soon as he turned back, the rest of the bandits also jumped back into their boats.

"Protector, take your leave!" The mixed river dragon stood at the bow of the boat and hugged his fist, and the machine ship roared, dragging a puff of black smoke away.

There was a false alarm, everyone sweated, and Gong Zijun had palpitations: "Protector, this water bandit is too arrogant, sooner or later he will destroy them." ”

Chan said: "I think this person is quite interesting, and I do think this face is a little familiar. ”

……

There was no danger all the way, and he arrived at the provincial capital smoothly, Chen Zikun came from Weifu, and did not plan to visit Sun Dujun, he drove to Huijin Bank accompanied by Gong Zijun, and withdrew the 200,000 yuan he had previously loaned.

Gong Jiaxiang finally met the long-admired Jiangbei Protector Envoy, although he had long known that he was young and promising, but he was still taken aback when he really saw him.

Chen Zikun is really too young, and he is about twenty-five years old when he looks at his face, but there is no frivolity and vanity of ordinary young people between his gestures, and he looks like a character who has experienced a big scene.

General Manager Gong is studying in the UK, and he croaked in an Oxford accent, and unconsciously brought a few words of English in the conversation, Chen Zikun smiled slightly, and still replied in official dialect, but obviously he could understand Gong Jiaxiang's very fast English.

After chatting for a while about financial business, Gong Jiaxiang suddenly said: "Fortunately, the envoy of the army came in time, if it is a few days late, I am afraid that we will not be able to meet." ”

Chen Zikun said: "Could it be that General Manager Gong is going on a business trip? ”

Gong Jiaxiang said: "No, I am a member of the National Assembly from Jiangdong Province, and I want to go to Beijing to perform my duties. After a pause, he said helplessly: "Actually, it's just to make up a number, this election is purely to cover up your ears and steal the bell." ”
