Mei Xin was brought to Wang Zhenyu by Li Zongren and others, and she didn't scold, but said in a compassionate tone: "Those who are good at fighting will die under the sword, Brigade Commander Wang is indeed brave and knowledgeable, I, Mei Xin, will go first, and when I go underground, I will see what will happen to your Brigade Commander Wang." ”

Mei Xin's attitude angered Wang Zhenyu's guards, and they slapped Mei Xin in the face a few times, and one of them even stepped on Mei Xin's mouth. Mei Xin was immediately kicked and broke two front teeth, blood overflowed from her mouth, and the painful Mei Xin could no longer speak. The guards kicked him in the stomach and legs, Mei Xin knelt on both knees, at this moment, physical pain and mental humiliation were intertwined, Mei Xin felt for the first time what life is better than death.

Wang Zhenyu did not persuade the guards to stop their atrocities, but looked at Mei Xin, the murderer of the Hunan governor, as if he were a dead man. In Wang Zhenyu's view, this person must die, not all to avenge the governor, but that this person's immortality is not enough to deter the whole of Changsha. But such a criminal person is just shot, it is too cheap for him, and if enough abuse is not given, there will be more careerists in the future who will jump out regardless of life or death.

He smiled, squatted down and looked at Mei Xin's almost distorted face, and said softly: "Check the *** soldier Mei Xin, colluded with the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and conspired to subvert my Hunan military government. ”

Mei Xin was furious when she heard this, but she couldn't move, so she had to spit out a mouthful of blood at Wang Zhenyu, Wang Zhenyu seemed to have expected it, and took a step to avoid it sideways.

He didn't get angry, he still looked at Mei Xin with a smile and said, "Actually, although you killed the two governors, although the crime is extremely heinous, it is only what you need to advance, so it still makes sense; In the same way, it makes sense that I want you to be on the head now, but if you want to blame yourself, you can blame yourself for your poor ability. ”

Mei Xin opened her mouth and scolded vaguely: "You and I have no grudges in the past, no hatred today, you hurt me like this, if I am a ghost in the future, I will definitely not let go of your ......"

Wang Zhenyu smiled even more happily when he heard this, you have to ask Brother Niu Tou and Brother Ma Mian for their opinions. He took out the love handkerchief that Ye Ziwen gave him, covered his nose, and waved his hand, Zhao Dongsheng and the others immediately dragged Mei Xin down. After a while, a gunshot rang out, and Mei Xin, who was in Hunan during the Xinhai Revolution, hung up like this......

On the streets east of Changsha City, groups of officers and men of the Fifth Division lined up to walk through the streets with their heads in their hands and under the guard of the Tiger Brigade.

Zhao Hengti and his entourage were very surprised, although they did not have any hope for the combat effectiveness of the Fifth Division, but they did not expect their defeat to come so quickly, you must know that the Fifth Division has a full 10,000 guns!

Zhao Hengti showed his officer ID to the troops in charge of martial law, and when the other party saw that it was not a person from the Fifth Division, he did not make it too difficult, but just asked them to wait and let these prisoners pass first.

After a lot of effort, Zhao Hengti, under the guidance of the officers and soldiers of the Tiger Brigade, finally found Wang Zhenyu, who was a little smug at the headquarters of the Fifth Division.

Zhao Hengti saw him from a distance and the first thing he shouted was: "Brother Wang, be merciful to your subordinates, be merciful to your subordinates, don't hurt Senior Mei!" ”

Wang Zhenyu looked at the slightly simple Brother Zhao, with an exaggerated expression of surprise on his face, and his eyes showed a confused color: "Senior Commander Mei, which Senior Commander Mei are you talking about?" ”

"Mei Xin, which Mei Xin?" Wang Zhenyu replied so lightly, as if there was no such person in this world, Zhao Hengti was a ** lake, he looked at Wang Zhenyu like this, and immediately knew that Mei Xin must be out of action. People who engage in politics are the most practical, and since Mei Xin is dead, then the value of this person will automatically return to zero. Zhao Hengti immediately revealed this topic and didn't talk about it, but just looked at Wang Zhenyu and asked in a low voice: "With such a big move, how does my brother plan to end up?" ”

Wang Zhenyu smiled appreciatively: "My brother suppressed the rebel of the Fifth Division under the order of Governor Tan and executed the rebel Mei Xin, which can be regarded as avenging Governor Jiao and Governor Chen." Changsha is naturally a matter of course! But the brothers have made such a great effort, Governor Tan can't say nothing at all, right? ”

Zhao Hengti naturally understood that this was asking Tan Dudu to recognize the legitimacy of this mutiny. This is easy to say, Tan Yanmin's character Zhao Hengti has also understood after following him for such a period of time, he is a master who does not suffer immediate losses, and he does not care about a name at all. Since there is no matter of Tan Dudu, the biggest stone in Zhao Hengti's heart can be regarded as landing, as long as he does not do anything to Tan Dudu, everything else is negotiable.

"Brothers, this is for Tan Du's supervision, this naturally needs to be rewarded separately, and the brothers of the fourth division can't be allowed to work in vain," Zhao Hengti wiped the sweat on his forehead and continued.

Wang Zhenyu naturally smiled, and put one hand on Zhao Hengti's shoulder: "Okay, Brother Zhao, let's not see each other like that, it was a business just now, now let's talk about some private matters." ”

Seeing that Wang Zhenyu was still so polite in front of him, Zhao Hengti suddenly felt a lot more happy in his heart, and nodded to signal Wang Zhenyu to say that it was okay.

"This time the matter is too big, if I still have to stay in Changsha and don't leave, it is estimated that Tan Dudu will have to sleep with a pistol at night. So I thought about it for a long time, and I had to find an opportunity to leave the provincial capital with the team and stay in a remote place. From now on, my brother is in the provincial city, my brother is in the locality, you and I are brothers, we are the same body, we are in the same breath, and we are each other's Olympic aid, what do you think, Brother Zhao? ”

Zhao Hengti has no reason not to agree, not to mention that this is exactly the situation he has been trying to plot, if he depends on Shangguan politically, where can he stand firm, many times he still has to rely on his own strength to speak. So as soon as Wang Zhenyu brought it up, he naturally agreed to come down, and promised to talk to Tan Dudu when he went back.

In fact, he was also very sure that Tan Yanmin agreed, because no matter what, the Ninth Brigade and even the Fourth Division made such a big move in Changsha, if Tan Yanmin still dared to stay by his side, then he would definitely not be Tan Yanmin, but a pig.

As soon as he made up his mind here, Zhao Hengti suddenly thought of another tricky question: Is this Mei Xin too dead to die anymore, but his fifth division is still alive with thousands of people, this is a liliang, but I don't know what to do with my sworn brother? It would be nice if these centaurs could be added to their ranks.

He asked delicately: "Brother Wang, what are you going to do with this fifth division?" ”

How to deal with it? Wang Zhenyu thought to himself, Lao Tzu killed their division commander, can't he still accept them as his own people, I only have 4,000 people under my hands, and if I eat these 9,000 people, then Lao Tzu is considered a tiger brigade here? It's still the fifth division.

Besides, for the combat effectiveness of the fifth division's group of grandsons, Wang Zhenyu is really a little disdainful. Brother Zhao asked himself like this, it seems that he has ideas about these grandsons, so it will be easy to do, so let's talk about this big benefit. As soon as he figured out this joint, Wang Zhenyu smiled and took Zhao Hengti's hand and said, "Big brother, don't worry, let's go in and have a good chat while sitting." Besides, where is the Fifth Division of our Hunan Army now? ”

Zhao Hengti was happy for Wang Zhenyu, this kid is completely a little scoundrel, Zhao Hengti shook his head with a wry smile. The group of people began the so-called, consultations at the division headquarters of the Fifth Division.

As a result of their common interests, the two sides quickly reached an agreement:

(1) Tan Yanmin reissued a warrant for the disbandment of the Fifth Division and the execution of Mei Xin, and announced Mei Xin's crimes in the name of the Governor's Office;

(2) Conduct state funerals for Jiao Dudu and Chen Dudu, and worship Mei Xin's head, and posthumously recognize the two as revolutionary martyrs;

(3) For the officers and men of the Fourth Division who participated in this operation, or all the officers and men of the Fourth Division, each of them will be rewarded with 20 yuan, and the military expenses of the Fourth Division in the past three months will be repaid.

(4) The personnel of the Fifth Division, not a single one of the Fourth Division, were all at the disposal of Tan Dudu, and the specific equipment was first handed over to the 16th Brigade for custody, and all the captured equipment was handed over to the 9th Brigade of the Fourth Division for unified and full disposal.

(5) After the above four points are completed, the Fourth Division will leave the town of Baoqing and the area of Jingzhou Prefecture and set up the post of Baojing Town Guard, which will be held by the division commander Wang Longzhong, and the local officials under its jurisdiction shall be appointed by him, and the provincial government shall not interfere.

Tan Yanmin took the five conditions brought back by Zhao Hengti, and let out a long breath, it is better to send the restless factor of the Fourth Division to the local area to become a warlord than to stay in Changsha. Tan Yanmin figured it out as soon as he thought about it, and after praising Zhao Hengti, he immediately used the seal to take it right.

And at the subsequent state funeral ceremony of the two governors of Jiao Chen, the governor Tan Yanmin also personally officiated. While mourning the two governors, he did not forget to say that he was a righteous person who endured humiliation and revenge, and exaggerated in public crying and fainted, which made many onlookers who did not know the truth very moved, and they all said that they couldn't imagine that Tan Dudu and Jiao Dudu had such a strong relationship.

After the Changsha mutiny, Tan Yanmin was dealing with Beijing's inquiries, and at the same time summoned Cheng Qian, who was unable to live or die in the First Division at a critical moment, and Zhao Hengti, who had made great contributions in quelling the mutiny, to discuss the matter.

The topic of the discussion is very simple, Tan Yanmin is now eager to send the tiger of the Fourth Division out of Changsha immediately, otherwise how can he sleep peacefully at night, he has spent the last few days in insomnia, and his hair has fallen out badly, you must know that he is only in his early thirties. Even if he occasionally fell asleep, he woke up in a nightmare, and he dreamed that he had his head cut off like Mei Xin, and he was bloody......

If the Fourth Division didn't leave, he estimated that he wouldn't want to sleep peacefully.

Cheng Qian also saw in this mutiny that the so-called Tiger Brigade was really monolithic, and he actually mixed sand into this army to control the department. It's a shame that because the time is too tight, I didn't have time to execute it, otherwise it might not only be Mei Xin who died in the rebellion this time, but also myself. I heard that this brigade commander was also appreciated by Huang Xing, so he found an opportunity to see if he could win him over through Huang Xing's relationship. As for Tan Yanmin's suggestion to transfer the division abroad, he naturally did not allow it, just kidding, who can stand it if there is another mutiny?

And Zhao Hengti, who reached a gentleman's agreement with Wang Zhenyu, naturally passed with both hands and feet......

On April 6, the military government issued a formal order appointing Wang Longzhong, commander of the Fourth Division of the Hunan Army, as the envoy of Baojing Town......
