"Youheng, how do you think this matter should be handled?" Tanaka Yu walked around the room with a frown, holding a telegram from the War Department in his hand.

"If Yun Shuai doesn't want to wade into this troubled water, I'll push this telegram back." Ding Youheng said lightly: "Although Babu Zabu is dead, his remnants are still there." Our Chahar is a large place and close to Outer Mongolia, and the army itself is insufficient, so where is there still room to take care of the affairs of Zhili. ”

In the early days of the Republic of China, the provincial governor and the first-level warlords liked to be called a certain handsome, similar to today's Wang Bureau, Zhang and the like, as for the word "handsome" before the word is usually taken from the master's table, Tanaka Yuzi Yunshan, whose Chahar is barely equivalent to the provincial governor, so people close to him call him "Yun Shuai".

"I don't want to worry about this, but the matter is coming to the door." Tanaka Yu sighed, took out a secret telegram from the table, and handed it to Ding Youheng.

"Jingtian Gong obviously doesn't want Cao Sanlenzi to meddle in this matter, but there are many garrisons in Gyeonggi, and it's not too far away, so why do you have to look for us." Ding Youheng looked at the secret telegram in his hand and said with a wry smile: "I don't know what the princes of the capital think. "Zhili Governor Zhu Jiabao word Jingtian.

"Chen Guangyuan, Li Changtai, these individuals, who are not monkey spirits, how can they easily participate in it, and in terms of distance, we are the closest here." Tanaka Yu paused and said helplessly: "I am also a little related to Zhu Jingtian, so it's not good to help with this!" ”

"Since Yun Shuai has decided to send troops, it's easy to do. Send a competent person over to quell the rebellion, and Cao Sanlengzi will find an opportunity to explain later. Ding Youheng said without hesitation. The affairs of the Chinese people are quite interesting, and no one pays much attention to the dignified military orders of the War Department, but Zhu Jiabao's private telegram has to make Tian Dutong worried.

"There are not many garrisons in Chahar, the first division is stationed in many places, and the rest are local troops, which is also useless." Tanaka Yu said worriedly: "I'm afraid I won't be able to send troops in a short time." ”

"There is also a second mixed regiment of the army in Zhangjiakou City, why didn't Yun Shuai mention it?" Ding Youheng said with a smile: "Although it is a regiment on the surface, its scale and strength may not be inferior to that of ordinary provincial defense brigades, and it should not be a problem to quell this mutiny." ”

"Tang Ruoshui is not a fuel-efficient lamp, I'm afraid he will cause trouble if he goes!" Tanaka Yu said uneasily: "When the time comes, won't you be a person inside and out." ”

"Yun Shuai is too worried, I think this Tang Ruoshui is doing things clearly. Taking a step back, even if we cause trouble, it doesn't have much to do with us. Ding Youheng said disapprerovingly: "With Xiao Xu's big Buddha covering, Tang Ruoshui can't hurt his muscles and bones." ”

"Haha, I don't agree with what you say, Youheng." Tanaka Yu laughed and said: "Xiao Xu is talented and deeply trusted by Lao Duan, and he is a great Buddha, but his sharpness is so sharp that even the old man can't tolerate him, think about how many people he has offended." Of course, these people don't dare to directly ask him for trouble with Xiao Xu, but they can embarrass Xiao Xu's cronies, and it is always okay to give Xiao Xu some eye medicine. ”

"Yun Shuai means don't look at Xiao Xu's current scenery, but he may not be able to die well, Tang Ruoshui may not be good to follow him closely?" Ding Youheng said thoughtfully.

"yes, so I don't really want Tang Ruoshui to wade into this troubled water." Tanaka Yu nodded and said, "We still have to take care of this kind of young talent." ”

"It seems that Yun Shuai doesn't care for Tang Ruoshui ordinarily!" Ding Youheng smiled and said, "But if you don't send a second mixed group, there really is nothing to send in a short period of time." ”

"Forget it, let's send Tang Ruoshui. After what happened a while ago, I think he will be a little more restrained. Tian Zhongyu hesitated for a moment and said, Zhu Jiabao is still waiting for his response. …,

"I'm just drafting orders." Ding Youheng nodded and said.

"Let's wait, call Tang Ruoshui over first, and listen to his thoughts." When he came to the pass, Tian Zhongyu changed his words again, this Tang Ruoshui is too difficult to control, and he can at least watch it in Zhangjiakou, but if he releases it, he is really a little uncertain.

A quarter of an hour later, Regiment Commander Tang broke in in a hurry, to say that it is a coincidence, these days he is almost in the army every day, it is difficult to find him in the regiment headquarters, today happened to hold a regimental meeting at the regiment headquarters, otherwise it would be impossible to arrive in less than an hour.

"If the water comes so fast, find a place to sit by yourself." Tanaka Yu was also quite surprised, and hurriedly commanded with a pleasant face.

"Yun Shuai, if you don't look for me, I'm about to bother you." Head Tang is also a frequent visitor to the Metropolitan Mansion, and he has been unusually harmonious with Tanaka Yu and Ding Youheng for several months.

"Oh? Yes, if the water is yours first, let's talk about it first. Tanaka Yu said suspiciously, muttering in his heart that this kid had heard some news.

"The military salary in the ministry has not been paid for a long time, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter, so I want to borrow some money from Yun Shuai to change the clothes of my brothers." Tang Zhidao said unhurriedly, it stands to reason that as a mixed regiment directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War is only temporarily stationed in Zhangjiakou, and the ministry should always be fully responsible for the cost of military salaries and logistics, but the money issued by the ministry is really not enough.

"This, this, if the water is not as good as the big provinces in the Guannei, the tax revenue on the poor land is too small, and the bandits have been isolated from the trade routes in the past two years, and the commercial tax has been sharply reduced, and as for the salt tax, we will not let the local government interfere at all now......" At the mention of Qiantian, Dutong poured bitter water, but in the end, after thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said: "In this way, Dutong Yamen will allocate 5,000 oceans, and you don't need to pay it back, and I will help you urge you from the War Department." ”

"Five thousand is five thousand, if the whole group of the water generation has thanked Yun Shuai." Tang Zhidao hurriedly stood up and saluted a military salute and said. just said it casually, but I didn't expect Tian Dutong to really give money. Of course, with Zhangjiakou, the second largest commercial port in the north, Tiandutong should not care about this little money.

"It's best if you understand it." Seeing that Head Tang did not continue to entangle, Tanaka Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Cai Chengxun was not so easy to send every time he came to ask for money, and he would ask for tens of thousands of dollars at every turn.

"I don't know what is the important matter for Yun Shuai to summon me?" After knocking on the bamboo pole, Tang Zhidao asked again: "Where is there a shortage of Mo Fei Chahar?" ”

"It's not Chahar, it's Naoli's business." was disturbed by Tang Zhidao, and Tian Dutong almost forgot his business.

"Naoli?" Tang Zhidao pretended to be confused.

"The patrol battalion of Huailai mutinied and looted the county seat, and now it is spreading in the direction of Yanqing." Tanaka Yu handed over the telegram from the War Department and said slowly: "In addition, the three battalions of Xuanhua are also a little unstable. ”

"This should be a matter for the War Department and Naoli, right?" Tang Zhidao pretended to be confused and said, in fact, he had already guessed what was going on in his heart.

"The War Department has entrusted me with full authority to resolve this matter, I wonder if Ruoshui has any good solution?" Tanaka Yu saw that Tang Zhidao did not accept the offer, so he had to make his words clear.

"Troops should be immediately dispatched to suppress the incident, and after the incident has been calmed down, the cause should be found out and the perpetrators should be brought to justice." Tang Zhidao said crisply.

"I want to appoint Ruoshui to deal with this matter, I don't know what you think?" Tanaka Yu nodded with satisfaction and said, secretly observing Captain Tang's reaction.

"This, how can this be, my regiment is in the stage of reorganization, and it will take at least a week or two to get it straightened out." Tang Zhidao hurriedly excused himself and said: "Besides, I don't have any experience in dealing with this kind of thing, so it's not good to cause a bigger incident." ”

"I'll give you two days, and you must give the soldiers arms within two days." Tanaka Yu took out Shangguan's style and said, "Tell me if you have any difficulties." The more Tang Zhidao shirked, Tian Dutong was much more relieved and generous. …,

"The subordinates are relatively tight, I'm afraid they won't be able to get the opening fee, and the brothers won't be able to explain it." Tang Zhidao pretended to be embarrassed.

"Tang Ruoshui, you are too shrewd, calculate with me." Tanaka Yu scolded with a smile: "Give you another 10,000 oceans, and there will be no more!" ”

"Aren't we a small family, a big family that specializes in eating handsome." Tang Zhidao said with a hippie smile, his heart was happy, and he had the ocean at hand, so he didn't panic in his heart.

"What else is required to be put forward at the same time, my heart has been tugging at the province." Tanaka Yu pretended to be angry and said.

"The soldiers are very fast, our cavalry is too small, and it will take three or four days for the brigade to rush to Huailai, and the chaotic soldiers may cause greater losses." Tang Zhidao said solemnly: "Send me the independent cavalry battalion, set off tonight, and you can reach Huai tomorrow night to control the situation." ”

"Okay, it's up to you." Tanaka Yu was quite satisfied and said: "Sure enough, I am bold enough, I must be cautious in doing things this time, handle it properly, and be sure to maintain restraint." ”

"Yun Shuai, rest assured, your words have been written down by your subordinates." Tang Zhidao said respectfully on his face: "I won't delay, I'll go back to prepare immediately." ”

"Tang Ruoshui, don't make trouble for me this time!" Looking at the figure of Tang Zhidao who disappeared outside the door, Tanaka Yu said to himself.

Half an hour later, in the war room of the regimental headquarters of the second mixed regiment, Regiment Commander Tang pointed murderously at the map of Chahar and Zhili with a baton, and behind him were the officers of the mixed regiment and the cavalry battalion.

"Han Zitai!"

"Here!"

"Song Hualong!"

"Here!"

"Du Shijie!"

"Here!"

"The three of you lead the independent cavalry battalion, cavalry company, and reconnaissance team, bypassing Xuanhua City and going straight to Huailai, be sure to arrive in Huailai at noon tomorrow, control Huailai County, collect the rebellious soldiers, and kill in case of resistance!"

"Yes!" The three of them stepped forward together to receive the order.

"I'll give you half an hour to prepare, and you must go after half an hour!" Tang Zhidao added.

"The rest of the troops will now go back and prepare, and set off in an hour to march to Xuanhua." After the three of them left, Captain Tang commanded again.

On April 18, the sixth year of the Republic of China, the Second Mixed Regiment of the Army, which had been resting for four months, left Zhangjiakou, an important town in northern Saibei, and marched to a new target.
