Chapter 298 Reckoning (5) March
Zhang Dagongzi also has a temper, he always feels that he is already Yang Hao's business partner,ââ well, he is one of the distributors of the Shandong branch of the Yanhua Chamber of Commerce in the Jiaodong Business District. But relying on a father who is a general soldier, his strength is also superior, and he has always been the same. How is this today, a small soldier dares to yell at his son, what kind of system!
He grew up in the barracks, and his temper was no worse than that of the vulgar Qiu Baba. Seeing Zhang Ping's posture of not giving face at all, he was furious!
"Come on, set up all the guns and cannons for the master, and guard the yamen for a good time! I'd like to see which one of them who is not afraid of death dares to rush up! Boy, ......! â
Zhang Dagongzi made money, so he wandered around the Tianjin Concession and the capital for a long time, learned a Beijing accent, and the posture of throwing his sleeves was quite similar to those noble sons who lived in eight seats. However, his fat body and five big and three thick body deeply betrayed his true colors, and coupled with a satin horse coat, he looked even more full of turtle style.
However, this did not affect his eldest son's majesty at all, and in the midst of the scolding with straight eyebrows and glaring, hundreds of soldiers guarding the yamen of the general army poured out.
But to his surprise, these boys, who don't miss the reward on weekdays, didn't dare to rub it up, and carefully pointed their guns at the sky or the ground one by one. Their fingers were as far away from the trigger as they could, and they all had harmless sneers on their faces, nodding their heads and hating to lie on the ground and pretend to be their grandson.
Zhang Dagongzi is so angry! rushed up and kicked several of them one by one, and scolded: "Useless dog thing!" Where is the usual dreadiness? I'll play it all for the young master! â
The soldier who was being dragged took advantage of the situation, pouting his ass and letting him beat and scold. But he can't stand up resolutely!
Zhang Ping watched coldly. There was a wave of anger in my heart. He didn't care about the eldest prince Zhang's prestige and temper. But I care about this group of Qing soldiers with the name of a soldier! Such a bunch of muddy things simply disgraced the face of the soldiers! No wonder the literati look down on them, they themselves have no backbone and arrogance of a soldier at all!
Zhang Ping probably didn't know that it was these Qing soldiers who, when Germany invaded a few years later, actually ran into the sea to carry the German soldiers ashore in order to earn those few copper coins! What a sense of honor, what patriotism. In their hearts, there is no zĂ i at all!
Just like in front of them, they knew that Zhang Ping's gang had bad intentions, but they were bought by the usual small favors. Now that the soldiers are coming to the city, they can't fight at all. This is not only a desecration of the basic duty of a soldier, but also the word loyalty that is commonly used in modern times.
Zhang Dagongzi was full of hatred and anger, trembling with anger, and even more desperate. With such a bunch of things on the stall, don't think about it today.
In all fairness, the previous Songwu Army was generally good. If Yang Hao hadn't appeared, they would have been very brave on the battlefield against the Japanese army. But it can't withstand the long-term deliberate temptation and corrosion. From top to bottom, it quickly rots out of shape.
Seeing that there was only one company of soldiers, he didn't dare to gasp for breath when he suppressed the guards of the General Military Palace. A steward rushed out of the courtyard and whispered to Master Zhang: "The master called the people out!" â
Without waiting for the eldest prince to object, he turned his head and clasped his fists at Zhang Ping, and said with a flattering smile: "This military master! Our commander-in-chief, please come in and talk! â
Zhang Ping waved his hand and motioned for the deputy to take over his command, followed the steward to enter calmly, and entered the hall with several turns, but saw Zhang Gaoyuan sitting upright with a big belly and a golden knife.
Seeing Zhang Ping coming in, Zhang Gaoyuan didn't get up, and snorted coldly with a black face: "You big boss Yang is not particular!" I didn't know how to make such a big deal before, so why bother to make a big move with a knife and a gun, who can cover it up? â
Zhang Ping said with a smile: "This is also for the sake of the reputation of the chief soldier. â
Zhang Gaoyuan shook his head with a wry smile and sighed, "Your big boss has a heart." Zhang received the emperor's favor in his life, and he did not become a second minister in this life. You want Qingdao, I ordered the sergeant to lay down his arms. I just hope that it will not hurt the innocent. â
Zhang Ping raised his hand and saluted: "Thank you Zhang Junmen for taking care of the overall situation." We will try our best to arrange it properly, and please lead all your subordinates to leave the yamen, so that we can put on a scene to round out the scene. â
Zhang Gaoyuan glared: "Zhang has never been a deserter, how can he just run away with his tail between his legs?" âŚâŚ I'll tell those rabbit cubs to shoot their guns into the sky, and your guns should be longer, don't up! â
Zhang Ping knew it, smiled slightly, and turned around to go out after saluting.
Zhang Dagongzi anxiously rushed over and shouted, "Dad! What are you doing here? The one surnamed Yang is going to take away our territory, and it's unreasonable? â
Zhang Gaoyuan slapped him on the head: "You know a fart!" Now that the world is about to change, we can't stop it alone, so we honestly sit and watch the clouds disappear. You stay honest these days, don't see any outsiders, and it's not too late to go out and fool around when the matter is over. Let go of your heart, the Yang family has rules for doing things, and they won't swallow your little money and shares! â
Zhang Dagongzi was confused and didn't think too clearly for a while, but he was shocked by the fierce gunfire that suddenly sounded outside, and his soul almost flew out.
Inside and outside the yamen of the general army, the sound of banging gunfire rang out for a full hour, and there was a cannon fire every once in the middle, which shook the merchants and people everywhere in Qingdao! Seeing the black-clothed guards on the street loaded with live ammunition, roaring back and forth to maintain order, they all carefully closed the door and waited for the situation to calm down.
Zhang Gaoyuan only sent an urgent telegram to the Dengzhou Governor's Mansion, and there was no movement. In private, he restrained the soldiers and gave people a pot without firing a shot.
In accordance with the situation found out on weekdays, Zhang Ping worked overtime to select qualified officers and soldiers and mixed them into the army for reorganization. At the same time, the men and horses of the other battalions quickly expanded outward and took over the original defense area of the Songwu Army. The tentacles of the front advanced to the north to the surrounding counties, and even Laizhou and Dengzhou!
Dengzhou Admiral Xia Xinyou didn't care at first, and after receiving the telegram, he threw it away, gloating: "This Zhang Gaoyuan!" Before the governor ordered him to work hard to repay the service, he was afraid to move forward. Ignoring the Emperor's grace. Now it's all right. People don't know about his love at all. If you say turn your face, you turn your face! Hehe, I see that the little benefit he eats, this time he has to spit it out with interest! â
His subordinate, Sun Jinbiao, the chief soldier of Yantai, was more cautious and reminded: "Junmen, Zhang is not the kind of person who is willing to suffer!" Furthermore, Qingdao Langya Club is your jurisdiction, if you don't care at all. In case something goes wrong, it is difficult to explain it to the court! â
Xia Xinyou glanced at him: "You know a fart!" I dare to conclude that Zhang Gaoyuan will definitely not be able to hold on for a moment and will be finished! With a total of thousands of soldiers and horses under his hands, can he withstand the first blow of the Yang family's army? Not to mention that there is such a strong navy to help, it is obvious that he will lose. What are we doing with this little manpower, are we going to die? In the end, how to deal with it, naturally it is up to those big figures in the court to decide. Let's just watch! â
Sun Jinbiao's heart was shocked, and he had already understood what Lord Admiral meant.
Plainly. No one is willing to fight with Yang Hao, along the coast. With the help of strong ships and cannons, they are invincible. And now I haven't raised the anti-flag, I don't know what's going on ahead, so why go up and look ugly?
Especially now that the number of soldiers and horses in front of them is insufficient, most of them were deployed to Qingzhou, Yanzhou and Yizhou by Governor Li Bingheng, and they were stationed in the whole province to encircle and defend the passes.
Xia Xinyou calculated very carefully, so that he would not come out and touch the nail. Strictly ordered his subordinates to guard the defense area, and then forwarded the emergency telegram to the prefect of Laizhou, the governor Li Bingheng, and the governor of Zhili, Yamen, and waited for a good show.
He Minggao, the prefect of Laizhou, almost fainted when he heard the news. I was really afraid of something, Jiaozhou and Qingdao belonged to his jurisdiction, and Yang Hao had already heard of such a big move there, so he was afraid that this kind of thing would happen.
He patted his forehead and sighed bitterly: "I still can't hide from it!" What to do? Yang Dingshi, Yang Dingshi, don't you say you can just toss in Tianjin? Otherwise, if you are still making trouble in the territory of Yizhou Mansion, why do you have to run to this mansion to make trouble? The old man has no enmity with you! â
The master comforted: "Mansion! It's useless to hide at this point, you might as well send someone to ask about the situation, and it's okay to feel it down. In the past, the Yang family was very respectful to you and the upper and lower levels for the construction of the railway, is there any other misunderstanding here? Didn't he have a conqueror of cities? â
He Zhifu was a fan of the authorities, and when he heard this, his eyes lit up, and he shouted: "Okay, good, good!" That's it. Hurry up, hurry up and send someone to find out the situation! â
Someone soon touched the news, but the result made his cheeks twitch! -- A large number of disabled soldiers went to Jinan Mansion to petition to hold Governor Li Bingheng accountable in person, why did they drag the military salaries of the casualties and refuse to give them? Why send troops to besiege the families of soldiers who died for their country? Is this to unload the mill and kill the donkey, cross the river and tear down the bridge? That's how the imperial court treats meritorious officials?
"What's going on! I've heard of the trouble before, but I've never seen such a trick! â
He Ming's Gao Zhifu was dizzy at first, but he quickly came back to his senses, grabbed the messenger and asked, "How many are those wounded and sick veterans?" Where have you got? â
replied that it had passed Gaomi, and went to Weixian, all of which were two-horse carts, all the way to Qingzhou Mansion, and it was estimated that it would not take a day or two to reach Qingzhou Mansion.
He Zhifu slapped his face: "Come on, take care of them carefully along the way, don't let the rebellious people collide with them." Give gifts all the way out of Weixian County, and then report to the top! â
The master was taken aback, and hurriedly dissuaded: "Mansion Zun! Didn't you make an excuse for the governor? If you are to blame for this, you will be charged with a crime that is not effectively intercepted, and I am afraid that you will ....... â
He Minggao snorted coldly: "What do you know! Compared to being beaten by Yang Dingshi from the beginning, what is it to let the governor scold him? The old man would rather not be this official than be caught in the middle and be unpopular! â
He is a Zhengyin prefect anyway, and if Li Bingheng wants to clean him up, he must first see if the relationship above can be settled. But if you annoy Yang Hao, you can call right away, which one matters? It goes without saying!
So he deceived his subordinates like this, and when Li Bingheng got the exact news, thousands of "injured and sick petition groups" were already approaching Qingzhou Mansion! (To be continued......)
