Gai Longquan naturally won't take the gun, taking the gun is tantamount to rebellion, he glared at Liang Maocai fiercely, returned to his seat to smoke, others saw that King Gai was silent, and it was not easy to stop, whispering to each other, they all felt that Chief Chen would not do anything to them.

In this way, a whole day and a night passed, and at noon the next day, Chen Zikun finally appeared, looking a little tired, and everyone was silent, waiting for him to fall.

Chen Zikun slowly took off his white gloves and said, "Everyone is hungry, I invite you to drink, come here, set the wine." ”

A team of orderly soldiers walked in, placed a sea bowl on everyone's table, brought in four wine jars, opened the mud seal on the spot, and poured mellow liquor into each bowl, everyone looked at each other, and no one knew what medicine was sold in Chen Zikun's gourd.

Chen Zikun said: "This wine is the fragrance of Nantai, I bought it when I was the envoy of the Jiangbei Protector, and it has been buried in the ground for more than 20 years. ”

Chen Shou shrugged his nose and said, "It's delicious enough, it's definitely good wine." ”

Gai Longquan said: "Good wine! ”

Chen Zikun slammed the quaint wine jar and immersed himself in the past: "Chen Shou and Lao Gai, you are both giant bandits across the north of the river, Zeng Jiao's name as a mixed river dragon is not blown out, the brothers are all killed with real knives and guns, I still remember that year, we fought with the provincial army, and they fell into the water, hugged their heads and scurried, and captured a lot of Grusen fast artillery ......"

He recounted these past events, and the brothers were all moved, and Gai Longquan said: "Handsome ......"

Chen Zikun stretched out his hand: "Don't say anything, drink." ”

After that, he picked up the sea bowl, tilted his neck and dried it.

When the handsome men were all done, the brothers naturally followed suit, and they all picked up the sea bowls and drank wildly.

After a bowl of wine, Chen Zikun then communicated with everyone: "Brothers, some people say that our Jiangdong Army is a nest of bandits. ”

Chen Shou jumped like thunder: "Fart!" Whoever says this, I will go to him. ”

Chen Zikun said: "Don't be angry, sit down, this is not false at all, the brothers are all born in the green forest, and I am no exception. ”

Everyone is immersed in the memories, the eventful years, high-spirited, the handsome night attack on the provincial capital, capture the overseers alive, the twenties are the Beiyang generals, this majesty, this style, this future, who in the world can match it.

"Alas......" Chen Zikun sighed, "It's a pity that creation makes people, I still don't have this luck, there are too many heroes in this world, no matter how much the brothers help, we can only occupy a province in Jiangdong, there is a fortune teller in Beiping known as Hu Banxian, fortune telling is very accurate, he said that I am a general at the top of my life, he is quite accurate, but I am also content, I can have you brothers in distress in this life, it is worth it!" ”

Chen Shou stood up suddenly, his heart surging: "Handsome, it's all in the wine!" ”

With a of his neck, he did a second bowl.

Everyone stood up in unison, picked up the wine bowl and drank it all.

Chen Zikun also did it, wiped his mouth and said: "I heard a philosopher say that the duty of a soldier is not to fight the world, but to protect the homeland, I think this is right, the warlords fought back and forth, and the dicks were beaten to the bottom, and what ended up in the end, not to be a duke in Tianjin and Shanghai, so many handsome men dominate the world, how many people can mix up to today?" ”

Everyone nodded slowly, over the years, they have followed Chen Zikun, basically smooth sailing, the handsome has a wide network, a smart wrist, and friends with people from all walks of life, if it is changed to another handsome, it will be a stop, the handsome will go into the wild, and the generals will naturally scatter as birds and beasts, even if they surrender to others, they are just following a leftovers, so what is the big deal.

Chen Zikun suddenly changed his words and said, "Chen Shou, let me ask you something." ”

"Commander, please speak."

"What did you do when you were a bandit?"

Chen Shou thought for a while and said: "At first, it was to kidnap tickets and rob the road, but later it became famous, and there was no need to waste time kidnapping people, so I sent a letter directly to the rich man's house, saying how much ocean you pay me, otherwise I will tie up your son, and the money will be delivered." ”

Chen Zikun nodded: "You don't rob the house?" ”

Chen Shou said: "There are also those who do that, not much, and the village is harmed, and the people move to the county seat, and there is no one in the countryside, and they can't find the rich man if they want to kidnap the ticket." ”

Chen Zikun asked Gai Longquan again: "Old Gai, how do you do business?" ”

Gai Longquan said: "I am setting up a card in the mouth of the tiger to collect money from passing merchants to buy roads. ”

Chen Zikun said: "Listen, those who are bandits are particular, first they kidnap tickets, and then even the procedures for kidnapping tickets are saved, and the means of building the king are higher, setting up card fees, and ensuring the safety of people, where the are bandits, it is clearly the princes in the primary stage, that is, the government." ”

Gai Longquan smiled: "Who said it wasn't this reason, Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Dashuai, didn't he ring the horse at first, that's what he did." ”

Chen Zikun said: "By the way, when the bandits know that they cherish the people, they can't do their best to catch fish, kill chickens and take eggs, and leave no chickens and dogs killed in the place, the people will have no money if they don't grow food, and the bandits will have no business, and it is better to rob the people than to raise the people." ”

Everyone nodded frequently, thinking that it made sense, the handsome man is knowledgeable, and he can learn things by following his old man.

Suddenly, Chen Zikun slapped the table: "You all fucking understood the truth when you were bandits, why have you forgotten to Java now!" Conniving at relatives and subordinates, acting recklessly, looting people's wealth, unscrupulous means! You are digging your own grave, now the two divisions of the Central Army are on the outskirts of the city, Chongqing has long wanted to take Jiangdong away, at this juncture, you offend the people, you are looking for death! ”

There was silence below.

Chen Zikun continued to roar: "No one has stopped you from getting rich, you can give it to me, when have I been stingy with Chen, what is missing, you won't look for me, you have to rob the people!" The Japanese have been looting for eight years, and the people are in dire straits, looking forward to the return of our Jiangdong Army, but look at what you have done, it is worse than fucking the Japanese! ”

The room was silent, and the sound of a needle falling on the floor could be heard.

Chen Zikun calmed down his emotions and began to teach earnestly: "The ancients said, water can carry a boat, it can also capsize a boat, you can't do anything too much, Jiangdong is under the central government, I can go to Nanjing to be an official, I can go to Shanghai, I can also go to the United States, but what about you, the Central Army doesn't want you gang of miscellaneous cards, for a little profit in front of you, it's not worth burying the future." ”

The officers present began to ponder with some foresight.

Chan Tsz-kun Road; "Yesterday I was not idle, and I arrested all the goods suspected of looting people's property, basically all of them are relatives here, don't worry, I won't shoot them, I will give you this power, what to do, you can do it yourself."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the handsome man is still nostalgic.

"However, I'll give you my face, if you don't want it, don't blame me for Chen Zikun's ruthlessness!" Chen Zikun changed his words, and let everyone's hearts fall into the ice hole, and he didn't give a standard, how to deal with this.

Chen Shou stood up and knelt down: "Dashuai, I'm sorry for you, I didn't control my family, I'll set an example, these relatives have a life lawsuit in their hands, and they will die!" Those who occupy the property will be refunded twice! If you can't do it, please shoot me! ”

The officers all knelt down at once, gossiping, weeping bitterly, and said that they would severely punish their families, and swore one by one that they would ask the commander to give him a chance.

Chen Zikun said: "Don't worry, don't worry, I will never beat people to death with a stick, you guys deal with it separately, before the deal is completed, everyone's position will be relieved first, and whoever deals with it first will be reinstated." ”

Chen Zikun two bowls of wine, in a word, dismissed almost all senior officers from their military posts.

Everyone staggered out of the mansion, but Yan Su did not, and in fact he was in the least situation, only a distant nephew took over a factory under his banner, and almost certainly did it behind Yan Su's back.

"My chief of staff, I'm sorry to let you tie up." Chen Zikun smiled and apologized to him.

Yan Su said: "Understand, understand, if you want to catch it, you can catch it all, there can be no exceptions, but you have removed all the high-ranking officials in the army, what if something happens?" ”

Chen Zikun said: "Do you think we can confront the Central Army with our strength?" ”

Yan Su shook his head: "The disparity is too great. ”

Chen Zikun said: "If the Central Army really wants to annex us, then we have no way at all, besides, how many of these old brothers are from the military academy?" Do they know how to coordinate infantry and artillery, air-ground coordination, how to use howitzer clusters, how to use bomber ranges and bomb loads, can they read military maps, can they use compass and compass, and the command level of our officers is still in the Qing Dynasty. ”

Yan Su said: "But have you ever thought about it, the officers with military academy education are not as loyal as these old subordinates." ”

Chen Zikun said: "The Kuomintang and the Communist Party have cooperated, and the coalition government is about to be established, can Jiangdong maintain an independent kingdom for a lifetime?" While I still have absolute authority, I can suppress these arrogant soldiers, and I have to do this thing quickly, this is my responsibility and my mission. ”

Yan Su said: "It seems that you have made up your mind, okay, I support you." ”

Chen Zikun said: "This is the trend of the times, not anyone's personal will can change, it is still too late to change blood, and if it is too late, I will leave an infamy in history." ”

Ruan Mingchuan walked over and held a document in his hand: "Old friend, do you really plan to disclose your personal property?" ”

Chen Zikun said: "Yes, I am the first to announce the property, how many houses, how many deposits, how many industries, so that the people know clearly, I will never be soft on the money that should be taken, I should not take it, I will not take a penny, and my family is not allowed to take it, I let the Huaijiang Daily publish this, which is to take the lead and let the people supervise." ”

Yan Su said: "Okay, I'll be the first to respond, my family has a house, and there is nothing to hide from the deposit of 30,000 fiat currency." ”
