Chapter 33: Unspoken Rules

Xuzhou, Huaixiang Pavilion, Tianzi No. 2 upper room, floating with the faint fragrance of high-grade rouge gouache. In the big red brocade tent, Chang Ruiqing's second brother Chang Ruiyuan, the braided soldier, was leaning on the back of the mahogany bed, bare half of his body, revealing strong muscles and snow-white skin, and holding a stunner with delicate eyebrows and graceful posture, also revealing a large piece of milk-like tender skin, it was the top prostitute of Huaixiang Pavilion, Wu Yan'er.

Secretly glanced at this handsome little guy with clear eyebrows, and saw Chang Ruiyuan's eyebrows frowning slightly, and a cigar on his right hand, smoking in a mouthful, obviously having something on his mind, so he asked softly: "Master, is there something in your heart?" Or are you not satisfied with the work of slaves? Do you want to find another sister to come in and serve the master together? ”

"What do you say, little brother, how can I not be satisfied with Sister Yan'er's craftsmanship?" Chang Ruiyuan took another sullen puff of his cigarette. During this time, he completely fell out of favor in front of Zhang Xun, although the identity of the little messenger is still there, but the look in the way the big handsome looks at him is always a little wrong. He knew that it was because of his brother Chang Ruiqing, Chang Ruiqing was Xu Shuzheng's person after all, and he had just been promoted to the head of the regiment, even if Xu Shuzheng and Zhang Xun had no contradictions, the latter would no longer trust him! It seems that this errand of the pigtail army will not be able to do it for a few days. However, he was not very happy to let him go north immediately to join his brother...... At first glance, his brother is really a person who does big things, he doesn't prostitute, gamble, smoke, he doesn't have any bad problems, and he does things wholeheartedly. But the problem is, this official doesn't do this! Not to mention the current world, even if it was Kangxi and Qianlong, what future could such an official have? It's not social at all, and the whole one lives two hundred and five!

"Master, you can't be a slave, right?" Yan'er Feng's eyes fluttered, and she whispered tentatively: "Lord's eldest brother is already the head of the regiment, and it is time for Master to leave the Braided Army and go to Beijing City to seek a good fortune, right?" ”

Chang Ruiyuan nodded slightly, suddenly stunned, frowned and looked at the stunner in his arms and said, "How do you know?" I don't think I told you about it, did I? ”

Yan'er stretched out her jade hand, gently scraped Chang Ruiyuan's handsome face, and said coquettishly: "You little conscienceless, you owe it to your sister Yan'er to love you so much...... I heard about your eldest brother's promotion at the wine table, and those general soldiers and pipe bands of your braided army, as long as they have three cups of yellow soup, they will tell any secrets. ”

"What else did they say?" Chang Ruiyuan asked.

Yan'er smiled at Chang Ruiyuan: "What else can there be, of course, after entering Beijing, you have to pay attention to your brother and his regiment of soldiers......"

"What!" Chang Ruiyuan gasped, and the cigar cigarette in his hand fell on the floor. "So the Braided Army is really going to fight Beijing?"

"I don't know about this, anyway, it's going to Beijing, and I can't care if I get into a bitch. Ouch, where is the smoke? My little ancestor, you want to burn my sister's place on fire! "It turned out that Chang Ruiyuan's cigar cigarette was lit by something. The handsome little guy hurriedly got off the bed, stepped on the cigarette a few times, and put on a nightgown with a smile, before saying to Yan'er with a smile: "Sister Yan'er, I'm sorry, I'm scared, the little brother rushed Ming'er to set the table and banquet for you." ”

Yan'er smiled indifferently: "It's okay, as long as you don't burn my sister, you can burn and play with the things here sister, anyway, those unjust bosses will be sent over in a bunch." Saying that, she waved at Chang Ruiyuan again, beckoned the little handsome guy back to her bed, leaned on the shoulder of the little handsome guy, and said softly: "Listen to the meaning of those braided army commanders and pipe belts, Zhang Xun is very jealous of your eldest brother's regiment, Ruiyuan, why don't you take your parents to Beijing City to join your eldest brother!" ”

"It's too late, it's too late...... Chang Ruiyuan shook his head with a wry smile and sighed: "Since the pigtail commander has noticed my eldest brother's soldiers, then our family can't leave." ”

Yan'er's eyebrows frowned slightly, and she smiled again: "Master, don't worry, it's a big deal that the slave went to Admiral Zhang to plead for mercy, and let him take care of the old man." ”

"Not really." Chang Ruiyuan waved his hand: "My eldest brother must have taken care of Admiral Zhang before leaving Xuzhou." And...... Braided Shuai is also a person on the scene, he will not do such a thing that is too bad for the rules, and he himself has a wife and children. "That being said, this Second Master Chang's eyebrows are getting tighter and tighter. Zhang Xun has been in the officialdom for most of his life, so naturally he will not break the unspoken rules of officialdom, but what about his stunned brother? Does he know how to mix officialdom? Do you know how to maneuver between the marshals? Do you know what a knife cuts tofu on both sides? It seems that when this level is over, I should hurry to Beijing to help my brother, by the way, I have to bring this stunner with me......

……

"The surname Chang is a general, and he has only been out of the military academy for a few days? A regiment can bring a sound and impressive, a rare general! ”

Zhang Xun couldn't stop praising the case, he held a secret letter sent from Beijing in his hand, and he looked at it attentively.

Zhang Wensheng and Zhang Xun's nephew Zhang Biting stood on both sides, with embarrassed looks on their faces.

Zhang Xun dropped the letter in his hand, Zhang Biting hurriedly handed over another piece of letterhead, Zhang Xun then did not look at it in his hand, but said thoughtfully: "A regiment of soldiers is three battalion heads, if there is no vacancy, there are at least 1,800 or 900 people, and our ten battalion heads are 4,300, and we really want to fight in Beijing...... I'm afraid it's going to open the red line! And this kid has just come out of the military school, and he doesn't know what the road is, so he can't be careful......"

"Dashuai, the restoration of the Qing Dynasty is the desire of the people, how can he, a head of Chang Ruiqing District, confront the general trend of the world?" Zhang Wensheng said to Zhang Xun with a smile on his face.

Zhang Xun nodded slightly, and his eyebrows gradually twisted. During this time, the struggle between Premier Duan Qirui and President Li Yuanhong under the pretext of participating in Europe has intensified. Duan Qirui used the Overseer Army and the "Citizens' Corps" to pressure the Congress to join the Entente in declaring war on Germany, while Li Yuanhong and the Kuomintang-controlled Congress joined forces to boycott, and the relationship between the two sides was very stiff. Moreover, there is imperialism behind both sides of the struggle, and standing behind Li Yuanhong is the United States, which is now a neutral country, so I hope that China will be neutral with them. Standing behind Duan Qirui are Britain and France, but Britain and France have no intention of supporting it. In addition, both Russia and Japan have taken an ambiguous attitude, and although they have not openly expressed their opposition to China's entry into the war, they have already expressed their disagreement with China's postponement of the payment of Gengzi indemnities and the increase of tariffs......

There are also rumors that Duan Qirui is colluding with Feng Guozhang, preparing to overthrow Li Yuanhong with a military coup, dissolve the National Assembly, and let Feng Guozhang come to Beijing to serve as president, Duan Qirui will be the prime minister, and the Minister of War will be Wang Shizhen, forming the joint rule of the three heroes of Beiyang! And Li Yuanhong was so helpless that he actually sent a secret envoy to Xuzhou to ask him, the leader of the alliance of the Overseer Army, for help!

And Zhang Xun has also made up his mind, ready to lead troops into Beijing at any time, support Li Yuanhong in the name of mediating the "government and court struggle", and oust Duan Qirui from power! However, when studying and judging the situation in the capital, he suddenly found that this model regiment hanging under the 13th Division of the Army was not a big trouble. Although Li Jincai, the commander of the 13th Division of the Army, is a wall-to-head grass, this regiment is obviously not Li Jincai's soldiers. Their regiment commander Chang Ruiqing is Xu Shuzheng's person, and Xu Shuzheng is Duan Qirui's sworn friend, if he leads troops into Beijing to oppose Duan Qirui, will this model regiment pull off the shelf and fight with his own pigtailed soldiers?

Seeing Zhang Xun's solemn face, his nephew Zhang Biting reminded in a low voice: "Uncle, this Chang Ruiqing's hometown is in Xuzhou, and his parents and brothers are all in our hands!" ”

"What about holding it?" Zhang Xun looked at his nephew and said coldly: "Can you really kill your parents?" No matter how much he Chang Ruiqing is from Beiyang! It's just to work hard for Duan Qirui, if I move his parents, what will those Anhui factions under Duan Qirui think of me? What will Feng Guozhang's direct family think of me? ”
