Wang Qi's mind was spinning rapidly, analyzing how much of the method Chang Ruiqing said could be realized, and how many risks he had to carry. He also thinks that Zang Zhiping and Tang Guomo will clash next, after all, there is only one Fujian overseer! And he and the Chang Ruiqing in front of him, probably have nothing to do with the Overseer, he is not from Beiyang, and he has a close relationship with the Revolutionary Party, Duan Qirui will never give the Overseer to himself. As for this Chang Ruiqing, his qualifications are there, not to mention the overseer, even if he becomes the governor, I don't know how much trouble he will cause in the Beiyang system! Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng naturally wouldn't do such a stupid thing.

But can you be a provincial governor? A Beiyang overseer, coupled with a governor of Fujian, is not only the Fujian people governing Fujian, but also the key military power is in the hands of Beiyang. Duan Qirui should be able to accept this result and convince the public, but what benefits can Chang Ruiqing get from it?

Wang Qi glanced at the other party with a puzzled gaze. Chang Ruiqing seemed to feel Wang Qi's doubts, and as soon as the conversation changed, he talked about the issue of protecting the territory and the people.

"Kaigong, Zang Zhiping, Tang Guomo, and Yao Jianping, they fought for the throne of the Fujian Overseer, which is also a common thing in troubled times, and we have no way to stop it. However, the people of Fujian have to suffer from the military disaster in vain, which is really unbearable. I mean, we can protect a little bit and limit the Fujian military disaster to a small range as much as possible. For example, the line of Fuzhou-Quanzhou-Xiamen, and Zhangzhou. We still have to try our best to protect the people in northwest Fujian, northern Fujian, and northeast Fujian. What does Kai Gong think? ”

Hearing this, Wang Qi had roughly understood Chang Ruiqing's thoughts. On the one hand, the two brigades jointly declared neutrality. On the one hand, under the banner of protecting the territory and the people, they are grabbing land! At present, Tang Guomo, Yao Jianping, and Zang Zhiping's troops are all in the coastal areas of Fujian, and most of their combat areas will also be on this line. And Chang Ruiqing and his own troops can take advantage of this opportunity to seize the territory of Fujian's interior! Although these sites are not as fertile as those along the coast, they are always better than nothing, right? Besides. When Zang Zhiping and Tang Guomo were exhausted, Chang Ruiqing and himself came out to mediate, and they could not only get a few more fat pieces of land and a governor's position?

Thinking of this, Wang Qi finally made up his mind to cooperate with Chang Ruiqing. Then the two began to discuss the specific conditions of cooperation, and it was not until late at night on July 6 that all the details were negotiated. As long as Zang Zhiping and Tang Guomo clashed together, Chang Ruiqing and Wang Qi jointly issued a neutral telegram. At the same time, troops were sent to northern Fujian and northeast Fujian, among which Chang Ruiqing sent a "road" (in fact, a brigade) to be stationed in northern Fujian, and Wang Qi sent a regiment to northeast Fujian.

Furthermore. In the face of Zang Zhiping and Tang Guomo, Chang and Wang will also bid in unison. At least one town guard in western Fujian (including more than 20 counties such as Zhangzhou, Xiamen, and Longyan), an envoy in northeast Fujian town, and a governor of Fujian Province are required. Among them, Chang Ruiqing will be the envoy of western Fujian, Shen Ke, the head of Wang Qi's subordinates, and the governor of Fujian will be owned by Wang Qi.

At the same time that all parties were busy plotting to fight for the Fujian territory left by Li Houji. The late Fujian Overseer's house has long been in chaos.

In the hall of the superintendent's office, the fifteen wives of Grand Overseer Li, as well as several adult children in Fuzhou, have all been financially prosperous! Only the most favored sixteenth aunt doesn't know where she went? It seems that Lee Houji was frightened and went crazy when he was assassinated. I was sent to a Japanese-run hospital in Fuzhou City for treatment, but I haven't been discharged yet.

Such a large number of people gathered here for the sake of the old man's family property! It's not that these wives and children want to divide the inheritance regardless of the old man's bones, but that a bank in the name of the Li family was run on after the old man's death. There was nothing in the first place, and one of 1.8 million could cope with it.

But the manager of the bank called and said. At the end of last month, Li Houji withdrew 3.5 million yuan from the bank's account at the Bank of Taiwan in Japan and transferred it to Li Houji's own account in the Bank of China. Therefore, the bank's liquidity is insufficient, and now it wants to use the transferred money to meet the emergency. However, when Li Houji's eldest wife called the Bank of China to inquire, the reply was that the money was withdrawn on the day of Li Houji's assassination, and the drawer used Li Houji's check, which was also stamped with Li Houji's special check stamp.

Li Houji's eldest wife sat on a Taishi chair at the top, her complexion was corrupt, her eyes were red and swollen, and the two daughters behind her were crying with her. With a sad face, she listened to her children and her "sister" talking there.

She and Li Houji's eldest son were still jumping on their feet and scolding: "When the old man is here, he is not thin to the aunts in each room!" Food, use, and flowers, all of which have been treated badly to you! Why did someone do such a thing as soon as the old man just passed? That's 3.5 million! A full three and a half million! ”

Li Houji's second wife and a certain big man in Beiyang are a bit of a close relationship, even if they are flat wives, they are also known as prestige in the house, she looked at Li Dagongzi coldly: "What do you mean?" Who is in charge of the family's money on weekdays? In addition to your big room, how much can be stained in each room? We don't want to say that we have taken such a large sum of money, and we have never heard of it! ”

Her words fell, but a young woman in her twenties on the side spoke: "I have heard the master mention this matter, it seems that the sixteenth aunt Taitong guò her godsister Chang Er Grandma took the line of the Bank of China. ”

Hearing this, Mr. Li looked for the sixteenth aunt in a room of women, and after looking for a long time, he didn't see anyone, so he asked loudly: "Where did the sixteenth aunt go?" Does anyone know? ”

Someone at the bottom replied: "Didn't you go out with the master on the sixteenth day?" As a result, he was assassinated, and he went crazy at that time. I was sent to a Japanese hospital, but I haven't come out yet. ”

As soon as Mr. Li and Mrs. Li heard this, they knew that something was wrong, and Mr. Li stomped his feet: "Come on, hurry up and go to the Japanese hospital." We must not let this little lady surnamed Wu run away! ”

Mrs. Li also stood up from her chair and commanded left and right in a loud voice: "It's too late!" Quickly call Brigade Commander Tang and ask him to send troops to arrest that Wu Yan'er, by the way, and that Chang Er's grandmother is also suspicious, and she can't let it go! ”

I'm afraid these people in Li Houji's mansion couldn't have imagined that Tang Guomo and Tang Grand Brigade Commander had already arrived at the Chang Mansion in Fuzhou City at this time. He sat in the living room of the mansion, smiling and holding a bowl of tea. It seems to be completely oblivious to the tension that is on the horizon outside. Just looked at Wu Shi who was sitting there drinking tea with his head down, Wu Shi was dressed as if he was a rich man, dressed very luxuriously, and there was a precious jade inlaid on the melon skin hat.

He rushed to Fuzhou as soon as the news of the successful assassination of Li Houji reached Longyan. In order to hide people's eyes, he also dressed up as a rich man. As a result, the news still leaked, and the front foot entered the Chang Mansion, and Tang Guomo came to visit on the back foot.

Tang Guomo smiled and said, "Deputy Brigade Commander Wu, didn't you come to Fuzhou in disguise just to meet with you to negotiate conditions?" What are the conditions that you can mention now, and how about it? Are you willing to send troops to attack Zhangzhou and Xiamen? ”

Wu Shi raised his head and glanced at Tang Guomo, lowered his head again, and said coldly: "Zang Zhen's Zhangxia Town Guard is appointed by the central government, and his 14th Mixed Brigade is also a team of the Central Army. Why should we attack? ”

"Just because he secretly connected with the revolutionary party and assassinated Li Dujun!" Tang Guomo put down the tea bowl in his hand. sneered: "Those captured assassins have now confessed that they were instructed by Zang Zhiping, and my people have also copied the revolutionary party's lair in Fuzhou. I found the letter of appointment of the Guangzhou Military Government to Feng Zang Zhiping as the commander-in-chief of the Yasukuni Fujian Army, and there was Sun Yat-sen's autograph on it! This is conclusive evidence and cannot be denied! ”

Wu Shi was suddenly inexplicably shocked: "This, is this true?" How could Zang Zhiping be so frustrated? There must be some hidden meaning in this, right? ”

Hearing that Wu Shi was actually questioning himself, Tang Guomo's face immediately darkened, and he said coldly: "Deputy Brigade Commander Wu, what do you mean by this?" Do you always want to stand on Zang Zhiping's side to rebel against the central government? You must know that I have in my hands the ironclad evidence of collusion with the revolutionary party surnamed Zang, and now it has been presented to Premier Duan and Vice Minister Xu in Beijing! I believe that the order for a crusade will come down soon! ”

Seeing Tang Guomo say this, Wu Shi's brain spun rapidly. Of course he knew who Li Houji was killed for! The real culprit behind the scenes is none other than their brigade commander Changda! It has nothing to do with Zang Zhiping at all.

But now listening to Tang Guomo's words, the other party seems to really have some ironclad evidence! What kind of play is this? Could it be that Tang Guomo is fabricating evidence and framing Zang Zhiping? But how did Sun Yat-sen's autographed letter of appointment come about? Sun Yat-sen's handwriting can be everywhere, whether it is counterfeit or not, you can know if it is fake, it should not be fake, but what is going on? Could it be that Zang Zhiping is really a revolutionary! This time, Tang Guomo's people happened to be arrested......

Seeing Wu Shi's face hesitating, Tang Guomo couldn't help but become proud, and he said lightly: "Deputy Brigade Commander Wu, please tell your brigade commander that as long as he is willing to issue a telegram in support of serving as the overseer of Fujian, and then send troops to fight against Zang Zhiping, he will be promoted to be the guard of Zhangxia Town...... It's no less than ten times fatter than Longyan! ”

……

With a bang, Chang Ruiqing crashed into the office of his Longyan Town Guard Yamen like a gust of wind. Jin Yongyan was sitting inside, cross-legged Erlang, holding a report on the formation of the Suiying Academy in his hand and looking at it over and over again. Hearing Chang Ruiqing's movement breaking in, he hurriedly raised his head and looked at each other blankly.

"Yaoru, what's going on......"

Chang Ruiqing shook his head with a wry smile, took out a copy of a telegram from his pocket and handed it over: "Tang Guomo now has ironclad evidence that Zang Zhiping colluded with the revolutionary party and assassinated Li Houji!" ”

"What?" Jin Yongyan was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly took the telegram and read it. The telegram was sent by Wu Shi, and the content was very simple, it was what Tang Guomo said to him in the Changruiqing Mansion in Fuzhou this morning. He took a deep breath and shook his head slightly: "I'm afraid someone is making trouble about this......"

Looking at Jin Yongyan's puzzled expression, Chang Ruiqing smiled bitterly. sighed: "Of course there are ghosts...... This ghost is none other than the Generalissimo Sun in Guangzhou! That power of attorney must be genuine! ”

Jin Yongyan sneered: "That's right, Sun Yat-sen is not a fuel-efficient lamp!" This time, the situation in Fujian is even more chaotic! ”

"What is his purpose? Join forces with Tang Guomo? Or is it forced to reverse Zang Zhiping? Or is it taking advantage of the chaos in Fujian Province to let his Cantonese army also come in and get a piece of the pie? ”

Chang Ruiqing's heart suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness. He already knew that Sun Yat-sen and Jiang Jshi were not simple characters in history, but he didn't expect that the other party would be so powerful! I just stirred up the situation in Fujian here, and the other party took advantage of the situation to completely muddy the water!

Now that Zang Zhiping has been beaten into a revolutionary party, he can't be washed even if he jumps into the Yangtze River! As soon as Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng saw the confessions of those assassins and the letter of appointment signed by Sun Yat-sen, even if they did not order a crusade, they would recruit Zang Zhiping to enter Beijing, and this person was already a bit of a thief. Brigade Commander Zang, who also had secret dealings with the revolutionary party, dared to go to Beijing to meet Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng? If he didn't dare to go, Tang Guomo Ke would be able to justifiably crusade against him! And as long as he still has the brand of Beiyang, he must at least make a show, and when the time comes, Zang Zhiping will be lonely. can only take refuge in Sun Yat-sen. The next step should be the Guangdong army and the Yunnan army into Fujian, plus a vote of the people's army that supports Sun Yat-sen, only God knows what this Fujian province will become......

So what should I do? Or go to rob Zhangzhou and Xiamen as originally planned, and fight with Sun Yat-sen's Guangdong Army, Dian Army, and Zang Zhiping's 14th Mixed Brigade? Can you beat others with more than 10,000 people?

looked at Chang Ruiqing's face becoming more and more pale. Jin Yongyan's expression slowed down, and finally chuckled: "Yaoru, I don't think it's a big deal...... As soon as Sun Yat-sen and Zang Zhiping join forces, Tang Guomo and Yao Jianping will probably be out! Won't Fuzhou be empty in that case? Why don't we lead troops to take Fuzhou. ”

"Take Fuzhou? Will I be an Overseer or a Governor? Chang Ruiqing smiled bitterly. Asked rhetorically.

Jin Yongyan shook his head with a smile: "What is there to do with the overseer and the governor?" As long as you can grasp the actual benefits in your hands! ”

Chang Ruiqing was silent for a long time, and finally smiled deeply: "Let's talk about this matter." Headmaster, you can draw up a telegram for me to support Tang Guomo as the overseer of Fujian. Oh, and I will also draft another telegram to Xu Shuzheng in Beijing, report to him the complicated situation here in Fujian, and use Tang Guomo's to ask for his old man's opinion. ”

……

The telegrams from Chang Ruiqing and Tang Guomo were almost delivered to the office of Duan Qirui, the premier of the Beiyang government. Several Beiyang generals in straight uniforms circulated these two telegrams to each other, which were almost one version, and the expressions on their faces became solemn.

Premier Duan Qirui sat behind his desk, his nose crooked, holding a folding fan in his hand and fanning the wind vigorously, and after a while, he didn't say a word.

The ministers and deputy ministers at the bottom gradually began to discuss.

“…… A dignified brigade commander and Zhangxia town guard actually colluded with the revolutionary party to murder our Fujian overseers! What the hell is going on with this Beiyang...... Is there any rule? Are there any rules? ”

"The rules of Beiyang were gone as early as when Zhang Xun was restored! A few days ago, when we were going to crusade against the southwest, how many people were following orders? It's all a bunch of self-respecting feudal towns! ”

"Even the feudal towns can't collude with the revolutionary party! This is the platform to dismantle our Beiyang group, Zhi Lao, we can't just forget it, we have to send troops to recruit immediately! It is better to transfer Lu Zijia as the overseer of Fujian and let his 10th Division enter Fujian. ”

Hearing this, Duan Qirui snorted heavily, and said coldly: "Lu Zijia's soldiers can't move for the time being!" Li Chun has already transferred the Sixth Division back to Nanjing! He Feng Hejian doesn't even want the gold of the Red Brigade now, and he will be embarrassed with us wholeheartedly! As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Xu Shuzheng, who bowed his head and was silent: "Another Zheng, what do you think?" ”

Xu Shuzheng shook his head slightly: "Old Zhi, we can't move Zang Zhiping!" He was only in collusion with the revolutionary party, and the purpose was still to serve the official position of overseer and governor. If a crusade is ordered now, Zang Zhiping is cornered, and he will definitely defect to the revolutionary party and welcome the Guangdong army and the Yunnan army into Fujian, and our plate in Fujian will be completely messed up! ”

Duan Qirui frowned: "If you kill the country's feudal officials, you won't be punished, will we still have discipline in Beiyang in the long run?" ”

Xu Shuzheng gritted his teeth: "It's not now that we want to be punished, the Mongolian side is about to enter Kulun, and when the Mongolian matter is settled, we will settle the accounts together when we go south!" ”

"This won't work!" It was Army Chief Wang Shizhen who spoke, and the old man also looked angry: "Tang Guomo has already announced the results of the investigation to the press, and Chang Ruiqing, Wang Qi, and Yao Jianping have also sent a telegram supporting Tang Guomo as the overseer of Fujian. The situation in Fujian is irretrievable, let's find a way to clean up the mess! ”

Duan Qirui sighed and nodded: "Pingqing is right, I can only support Tang Guomo as an overseer now!" ”

Xu Shuzheng stomped his feet and persuaded: "Do you want Chang Ruiqing to send someone to persuade Zang Zhiping?" As long as he is willing to go to the wilderness, we will no longer pursue the assassination of Li Houji, is this okay? ”

Duan Qirui and Wang Shizhen glanced at each other and smiled bitterly: "Okay, that's it, if Zang Zhiping is willing to take a step back, we will spare him this time." ”
