"It's a good thing, it's much more elaborate than mine!" Playing with the Browning pocket pistol confiscated from Zhu Sangongzi, Tang Zhidao said with interest: "It's just that this thing is only suitable for women to play, and Zhu Sangongzi's kind of goods are worthy of being with women." ”

"Regiment commander, the guards of the provincial government are really useless." Xiang Qianliang also said with a smile: "I thought it would take a little trouble to solve them, but I didn't expect to disarm them without firing a shot." ”

"But ordinary people are all good at ping-pong!" Zhou Wenruo said with a sigh: "As soon as you enter the city, it is like a hungry wolf entering a flock of sheep, and when you see a solid person, you will frame someone hiding a rebel army, making the city full of chickens and dogs." ”

"This is the best, how can it be reflected that our army is a benevolent and righteous army without such a comparison." Tang Zhidao said with a smile, it turned out that he was still a little worried that he couldn't find an excuse to solve Zhu Sangongzi's guards, who knew that these individuals were covered in.

"Yes, the people in the city were originally very close to us, but since the guards of Zhu Sangongzi were arrested by us, the people in the city are much more enthusiastic." Xiang Qianliang said happily: "The camp headquarters is full of rice, noodles, melons, fruits, fish and meat sent by merchants in the city, and they can't be pushed off!" ”

"Captain, aren't we taking a bit of a risk?" Zhang Yuanhang frowned and asked: "This Zhu family treasure is not an idler, he has been in charge of Zhili for several years, and he can be said to have deep roots. ”

"Don't worry, Brother Yuanhang, I won't do anything I am not sure of." Tang Zhidao said confidently: "The only thing I'm worried about now is whether the two battalions in other counties have been resolved. ”

The Fifth Road Patrol Battalion of Zhili, the defense area is more than a dozen counties in Koubei Road, with a total of seven battalions and a cavalry company. Xuanhua as the capital stationed three battalions plus cavalry companies, Huailai and Yanqing counties facing the geographical location of Gyeonggi is more important, each stationed a battalion, the other two battalions one in Zhulu, one in Ul County.

"It shouldn't be much of a problem!" Fu Ming thought for a while and said: "The cavalry of our regiment plus the cavalry battalion of the Han battalion commander has a total of five or six hundred people, and the two battalions are only more than a thousand people, and the first battalion of Lao Zuo is also moving in the direction of Huailai and Yanqing. ”

"But there is still a part left to maintain order in Huailai and Yanqing, and there are only about 300 people who can be used." Zhang Yuanhang said worriedly: "The key is to make it more difficult to be bloodless. ”

"We have to do difficulties too, this time since we have done it, we will do it bigger, I am determined to do this fifth road patrol battalion." Tang Zhidao said proudly: "It's just that I haven't figured out how to digest such a large establishment for a while. ”

"Then isn't our group going to expand?" Xiang Qianliang said excitedly.

"In the battle of Duolun, we should expand it!" Fu Mingyi also said happily.

"It's time for our artillery company to be expanded into an artillery battalion!" Ye Huichun clapped his hands and applauded: "It's just that there are a little fewer cannons, and the regiment commander still has to get me a few!" ”

"It's possible, but it's not necessarily." Tang Zhidao waved his hand and said, "Don't spread the word for the time being, wait until the matter is completely settled." ”

"That's it for today, don't leave behind in the training of the troops." At this time, Li Dazhu walked in and whispered a few words beside Head Tang.

But everyone left, but Head Tang was not in a hurry, picked up the official documents on the table and changed them one by one, and it took a long time before he stood up, stretched his waist, and walked out of the study with a wicked smile.

In the living room of the inner room of the Deng Mansion, Yang Jiaji was quite calm, and he knew that the more he was at this time, the more impatient he could not be.

"Mr. Yang, I'm sorry to keep you waiting!" Tang Zhidao strode in, stretched out his big hand and said, "The regiment happened to be holding a group meeting, and I couldn't leave for a while." ”

"Head Tang, he is really young and promising!" Although Yang Jiaji checked the information of Head Tang in advance, he was still shocked by his young words. …,

"Haha! It should be milky and undried! Tang Zhidao laughed and said: "Mr. Yang's name, Tang has heard of it a long time ago!" ”

"It's all a false name, and now they're all old, and the world is from these young men like Captain Tang." Yang Jiaji said with emotion, he is now in his forties, but he is still running around under the scenes, and the young man in front of him is only twenty-three or four, but he is like a prince.

"What are you doing, you still don't serve tea to Mr. Yang!" Tang Zhidao pretended to be angry and yelled at the guards outside.

"I'm sorry to snub you, sir." Tang Zhidao said hypocritically: "I don't know what Mr. has to teach here!" ”

"I don't dare to be a teacher, I am just entrusted by someone to talk to the head of Tang about a deal!" Yang Jiaji didn't take it and said straight to the point: "I just don't know if Head Tang is willing to talk?" ”

"Mr. Yang is really a cheerful person, since this is the case, everyone will not go around in circles." Tang Zhidao saw that the other party's style was quite direct, so he said directly: "I don't know if Mr. is just here to probe the tone, or can he be a plenipotentiary?" ”

"Naturally, you can be represented plenipotentiary, please rest assured that Head Tang is here." Yang Jiaji picked up the hot tea that had just been served, took a sip and said, "Head Tang will make a price!" ”

"Haha, let me make an offer?" Tang Zhidao shook his head with a smile and said, "I don't know what Mr. wants?" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Yang Jiaji asked suspiciously, this young head Tang is really not easy to deal with, and he is playing Tai Chi with himself at all.

"If Mr. Yang is just here for Zhu Sangongzi, one sentence is enough." Tang Zhidao said lightly: "I can release him immediately, and his guards can also be brought back together." ”

"Can you really release people right away?" Yang Jiaji's eyes widened and said, "No conditions. ”

"Zhu Sangongzi connived at his subordinates to do evil in Xuanhua City, and Tang was ordered to deal with this mutiny, so naturally he couldn't sit idly by." Tang Zhidao pretended to be generous and said: "Since Mr. is here, Mr. will take it back and hand it over to Governor Zhu to deal with, I have always admired Governor Zhu's character and character." ”

"Yang heard that Deng Sanfa had many illegal acts during his time as commander, can you hand over his illegal charges to me and bring them back with you." Yang Jiaji said tentatively: "After all, this patrol battalion is under the command of the provincial government, and Governor Zhu wants to personally inquire about this matter." ”

"What's this? It's not easy! Tang Zhidao said in embarrassment: "It was Deng Sanfa's actions that provoked this mutiny, so I should investigate all his charges clearly, and then report them to the Ministry of War, the Chahar Metropolitan Government, the Zhili Governor's Military Administration, and the Zhili Provincial Government." ”

"What if the provincial government wants to intervene?" Yang Jiaji said threateningly: "Why does Captain Tang bother to wade into this muddy water." ”

"Tang is a lowly and powerful person, naturally he doesn't dare to grudge with the provincial government, but he doesn't dare to obey his fate when his duty lies." Tang Zhidao said solemnly: "Besides, Cao Dujun also ordered that he should investigate strictly and report the situation to him in time." ”

"Yang is just talking casually, and the provincial government fully respects the right of head Tang to dispose of it." Yang Jiaji hurriedly said kindly, for fear of really angering the head of Tang to throw himself at Cao San's fool.

"Then Mr. will take Zhu Sangongzi back, Tang's subordinates are all rough people, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of the two!" Tang Zhidao said with a businesslike look: "I will investigate the matter of Commander Deng as soon as possible and send a telegram to the provincial government as soon as possible." ”

"Don't worry, Commander Tang, Commander Deng is also the old man of Governor Zhu, since he is dead, can he not be held accountable, how about letting him go to the ground for peace?" Yang Jiaji saw that Head Tang was going to send off the guests, panicked, and pleaded.

"I can tolerate him, but the law of the country can't! The souls of Huailai and Yanqing can't spare him. Tang Zhidao patted the table hatefully, handed a stack of paper full of words to Yang Jiaji and said, "Mr. Yang, take a look for yourself!" ”…,

"This, this Deng Sanfa should indeed be cut with a thousand cuts!" After reading a few pages, Yang Jiaji, who has always been relatively calm, also scolded and scolded, almost forgetting the purpose of this trip.

"Captain Tang, I don't think Governor Zhu will let him go of such a wicked person, you can make a price!" Yang Jiaji said again: "As long as Head Tang doesn't interfere in this matter, it's easy to say anything." ”

"Since the provincial government is so enthusiastic, it will be a little unkind if I insist on it any longer." Tang Zhidao said pretendedly: "Brother, I will touch the light of the big temple in the provincial capital." ”

"First, Deng Sanfa's family has been robbed by the rebels, so don't chase the stolen goods everywhere, which will make Xuanhua City restless." Tang Zhidao threw out the first point, that is, Deng Sanfa's property issue should not be investigated.

"There is no problem with this, Captain Tang, please continue." Yang Jiaji agreed without thinking about it, this is the question of the meaning of the question, is it difficult to eat the meat in people's mouths and still want people to spit it out?

"Second, the Fifth Road Patrol Battalion is no longer of great use, and Tang reluctantly wants to reorganize them for Governor Zhu, and asks Mr. Yang to dredge them on his behalf." Tang Zhidao threw out the second and most critical one, which was to annex the Fifth Road Patrol Battalion in the name of justice.

"Okay, I must be on the side of the Overseer's Mansion?" Yang Jiaji thought for a moment and agreed.

"This is my business!" Tang Zhidao waved his hand and said.

"Article 3, the officials of Koubei Province acted perversely and lawlessly, and Tang wanted to discipline them on his behalf." Tang Zhidao said with a big grin, this is actually the administrative power of the entire Koubei Province.

"This is not quite in line with the rules, even if Governor Zhu said it in the past, it will be difficult for the Zhili Council to get through, and besides, Captain Tang may not be good at government affairs." Yang Jiaji hesitated and retorted, if this administrative power is handed over again, this more than ten counties in the north will not be the world of this surnamed Tang.

"Fourth, now that the center is in chaos, the military salaries have been released, and our regiment is now living in Zhili, and I ask Governor Zhu to think of a way to pay this salary." Tang Zhidao continued: "It's not too much, our regiment plus the Chahar Independent Cavalry Battalion has a total of more than 4,000 people, and the annual salary is only five or six hundred thousand, and the province only needs to give 500,000 yuan. ”

"500,000 is too much!" Yang Jiaji said in shock: "At most, 100,000 oceans, there are too many places to use money in the province." ”

"400,000 yuan can't be less, Tianjin's cornucopia has a tax revenue of more than 10 million a year, don't save this little money!" Tang Zhidao said nonchalantly.

"150,000, absolutely can't be added." Yang Jiaji bargained, although Zhu Jiabao said that at any cost, he might spend less.

…………………………

After some bargaining, the two sides reached an agreement: Governor Zhu recommended to the cabinet and the Ministry of War that Regiment Commander Tang should be the commander of the Fifth Road Patrol Battalion and suggested that Regiment Commander Tang be responsible for the reorganization of the department, and directly subordinate to the provincial government to pay 200,000 oceans; Head Tang no longer interfered in the handling of Deng Sanfa's case, and handed over all materials in real time.
