In fact, Yan Shao really wanted to kill Yuan Shikai by means of assassination, especially when the casualties on the front line were getting heavier and heavier, you must know that the soldiers who sacrificed were all prepared by him to deal with the Japanese, and now they did not fall in the war against foreign invaders but fell under the guns of their own compatriots, at least in Yan Shao's opinion, it is a very sad thing—————— those soldiers will not feel so, because many soldiers at this time do not understand the concept of the country, They just felt that they should work for him after eating Yan Shao's salary.

Naturally, there are many people who want to work for him because they have benefited too much from Yan Shao in the past, otherwise it is only a salary of 10 yuan a month, and I am afraid that it will not be enough for the people in the army to fight for him to this extent.

However, if you use assassination to deal with your opponent, this head will be opened, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to collect it in the future.

Not to mention anything else, after Yuan Shikai's death, Beiyang will definitely be finished. So what about after the end of Beiyang? Cheng Dequan in Jiangsu, Yang Zengxin in Xinjiang, Zhang Fenghui in Shaanxi, and Chen Jiongming in Guangdong all add up to nearly 20 warlords.

In addition, there are those in the Kuomintang, Sun Yat-sen, Huang Xing, Song Jiaoren...

By extending this, does it mean that all those who oppose Yan Shao in the future will be solved by this means?

Yan Shao really wants to engage in autocracy, because he knows very well that the opportunities in the next few years can only be encountered once in 20 years for China, and if he misses the opportunity to get one time, he must wait for 20 years, and he may not wait.

And with the current situation in China. Autocracy is definitely more suitable than democracy.

The problem is that he just wanted to be autocratic, but never wanted to be dictatorial...

Naturally, some people persuaded him, saying that it was just this once. It's just a special case, but it's a big deal to ban it after Yuan Shikai is solved. But many things have one and two, and it is too easy to solve political enemies through this means, and it is difficult for Yan Shao to guarantee that he can resist this temptation...

Aren't there many people in this world who feel that as long as they are strong enough, they can resist the temptation of drugs, and because of this, they try drugs and end up in the abyss?

For Yan Shao, assassination is a kind of drug. Yan Shao thinks that he is just an ordinary person who knows history well, and his only advantage is that he is much more handsome than ordinary people. (Self-admitted, in fact, just ordinary handsome.) is much worse than Sun Yat-sen and others in terms of appearance)

As an ordinary person, he thinks that he doesn't have a strong will, and he doesn't dare to guarantee that he will be able to quit after trying, so he can only choose to stay away from it.

The best way to quit drugs is to never touch them. At least for Yan Shao.

However, Yuan Shikai's problem always has to be solved. So there is only one way in front of him, which is to cooperate with Bai Lang and ask him to help make a mess in Henan, so that Yan Shao can solve the current Beiyang as quickly as possible, and then quickly end this war that has shed too much blood...

"It's just that if you do this, I'm afraid the people of Henan will suffer a lot..."

Think about the military discipline of the Bai Lang Army—————— if he has one.

Thinking about the result of letting this bandit army run rampant in Henan, Yan Shao felt very bored. Because the purpose of his return is to make a good life for the common people, but now his decision is likely to cause many ordinary people to suffer because of it.

Just after a slight hesitation. He still made up his mind.

It is a matter of principle not to use assassination, because this kind of thing can lead to endless troubles as long as it starts.

But on the issue of cooperation with Bai Langjun...

With the current emptiness in Henan, even if Yan Shao does not support Bai Lang, Bai Lang can still wreak havoc in Henan, and because of the war at the junction, I am afraid that this time will last for a long time.

In this case, the long pain is not as good as the short pain, it is better to support it directly, and wait until Yuan Shikai is solved and then find a way to solve him, so that things are much simpler, after all, no matter what, it is inevitable that the white wolf will be chaotic or something...

————————————————————

After hesitating, although Yan Shao felt very guilty about the people of Henan, he decided to cooperate with Bai Lang in the end.

This made the government officials happy and a little regretful, because they actually wanted to take Bai Lang for their own use. The reason is also very simple, because only in this way can Bai Lang carry out the battle according to their orders, and not according to his own interests.

The former can allow him to do it regardless of losses, and in the latter, he must consider how to preserve his strength, so that the effect will be somewhat reduced.

As for whether people are willing to submit to them, is it wishful thinking for them to think so?

With Yan Shao's usual generosity, they didn't think that those teams of bandits, bandits, routs, and ordinary people could resist this temptation—————— if they could, they would not be annihilated in history.

As for Yan Shao's idea that sometimes seems a little naïve, others seem both helpless and a little lucky. It's helpless because this kind of character will be a little troublesome when doing things, but fortunately...

Don't forget, the Secret Service is in Katerina's hands, which is also in his hands. With the current ability of the Special Affairs Bureau, although it is not yet possible to reach the point of 'omniscient and omnipotent', it is still no problem to complete the monitoring of officials large and small in Anhui, which means that as long as Yan Shao is willing, he can completely make the military government his hall, and absolutely no one dares to oppose it.

But then again, in fact, the Special Affairs Bureau is also the guarantee of Yan Shao's naïve thoughts.

"In that case, then we will send an envoy to contact Bai Lang?"

Seeing that Yan Shao had finally made a decision, someone asked softly.

"Well, let's go..."nodded, and after finishing speaking, Yan Shao continued to add. Remember, tell him what he needs to do..."

"Understood..."

————————————————————

As a province adjacent to Anhui, the Special Affairs Bureau does not have many personnel in Henan. But it's much more than in places like Outer Mongolia or Xinjiang—————— which are too remote.

So after wasting a lot of effort, the people from the Secret Service Bureau quickly contacted Bai Lang, who was wandering around. As estimated by the Ministry of Military Affairs, due to the emptiness of Henan. Feng Guozhang couldn't spare his troops to deal with this bandit army, Bai Lang almost turned a small part of Henan upside down, and the team also grew from more than 3,000 people at the beginning to more than 4,000 people, and it continues to expand.

If Bai Lang is allowed to make trouble like this, I am afraid that it will really be like Yan Shao and others thought, and it will soon turn Henan upside down.

In fact, it is true that in history, Bai Lang's army has reached the level of tens of thousands. It was precisely with such a large number of troops that he was able to crisscross several provinces, and from the beginning of the incident until 14 years ago, he was exterminated by the Beiyang Army.

At the same time, as an old Jianghu. cough, to be exact, a veteran of the battlefield, Feng Guozhang naturally knows how troublesome it will be to have such a group of bandits behind him, not to mention that this bandit army is still threatening the lifeline behind him.

From Beijing to Zhengzhou. From the map, it doesn't seem to be going to take long. But in reality, it's a long distance. Now each of the front lines consumes a large amount of ammunition and supplies, and the reason why Feng Guozhang is able to maintain this high-intensity operation is entirely because he has a Jinghan railway behind him.

If this railway is cut off, it won't take long, only half a month, or even a week, Feng Guozhang will have to face the desperate situation of running out of ammunition and food—————— you must know that Feng Guozhang now throws thousands of shells almost every day, and there are countless other kinds of ammunition, without the help of this railway, he can't maintain it at all.

And even if Bai Lang doesn't harass the Jinghan Railway. It was also a threat to continue to let him wreak havoc in Henan, after all, many of Beiyang's supplies were collected from the local area.

It's only a month later. Beiyang's losses were already extremely heavy, and he had to face the pressure of the National Socialist Army in person, even Feng Guozhang couldn't draw too many troops. So after gritting his teeth, Feng Guozhang only transferred a brigade of troops.

The problem is a brigade, and it is no problem to defeat it, but if you want to completely exterminate this bandit army, I am afraid that it is a little ...... What's more, even if you want to defeat it, you have to be willing to fight you...

So soon Feng Guozhang sent a telegram to Yuan Shikai, hoping that he could mobilize more troops to exterminate the Bailang bandit army raging in Henan, so as not to cause any irreparable impact. And on the telegram, Feng Guozhang also proposed that the troops in the northeast could be transferred over.

Now that the Japanese are supporting their own side, Feng Guozhang, as a high-level in Beiyang, naturally knows the way, and he also knows that Yuan Shikai can not mobilize a lot of troops now. That's why I proposed to transfer troops from the Northeast, firstly, because the Japanese are now supporting Yuan Shikai and won't play any tricks, even if there are British, even if they want to play the British, they won't allow it...

Naturally, at the same time as sending the telegram, Feng Guozhang did not forget Zhang Zhenfang, the governor of Heihenan, and claimed on the telegram that it was precisely because Zhang Zhenfang was tyrannical in Henan that such a thing happened—————— although it was true.

He knew very well how tight Yuan Shikai's troops were now, and naturally he knew how reluctant he would be to let Yuan Shikai transfer troops. That's why I will find a way to find someone to be hacked for him, otherwise...

Originally, he didn't go well in this battle, and if this matter was used as an excuse, he would be in trouble...

On the other hand, after thinking about it for a while, Yuan Shikai nodded in agreement despite hesitation.

Because he also knows very well that Henan must not be chaotic at this time.

It's just that at this time, the troops of Outer Mongolia are still on the way back (there is no train, and it will take a long, long time to travel thousands of kilometers even if you want to come back), and it is impossible for the troops of Tianjin and Beijing to move, and now it seems that only the troops in the northeast can move...

At the same time, just when Feng Guozhang was begging for reinforcements, people in the Henan Special Affairs Bureau also contacted Bai Lang...

————————————————————

Since taking Tangxian, Yucheng and Lushan, Bai Lang has captured Baofeng in central Henan, fortunately, the finances seized from the Baofeng household seem to make Bai Lang and others very satisfied, so they did not harass the local people, as for their next plan is to cross the Jinghan Railway, and then attack Guangshan, Huangchuan and Mall.

Historically, after crossing the Jinghan Railway. Bai Lang did break through these three cities, and even broke through Lu'an, Huoshan and other county towns in Anhui. It was also because of this incident that Yuan Shikai removed Zhang Zhenfang from his post, sent the army chief Duan Qirui to serve as the governor of Henan, and mobilized more than 20,000 people to encircle and suppress. However, Bai Lang broke through the encirclement of the Beiyang Army at Huoshan and conquered the mouth of the old river in Hubei Province on March 7.

In other words, for a long time in the future, Bai Lang's development will be very smooth.

And the staff of the Special Affairs Bureau in Henan. It was Bai Lang found in Baofeng.

When someone from the Secret Service Bureau came to the door, Bai Lang was planning to cross the Jinghan Railway. It was precisely because of this that he felt strange when he learned that someone was looking for him, and what made him even more strange was that the person who found him was actually from Anhui.

"From Anhui...... Do you have anything to do with me? ”

"Of course there is..."Hearing Bai Lang's words, the leader said with a smile. We're here to work with your army..."

"Cooperation?" Bai Lang was a little curious, he had already understood a little bit in his heart. But after all, the other party has not yet given an answer.

But soon, the person sitting across from him had already spoken directly. "That's right, cooperation. I believe that Commander Bai also knows that we are fighting against the Beiyang Army, and the 'righteous act' of your army in Henan has also brought great trouble to Yuan Shikai, so it can be said that both of us have a common goal, that is, Yuan Shikai. Naturally, we have a reason to cooperate..."

Speaking of which. The man looked at Bai Lang with a curious look in his eyes.

That's right, curious. Because judging from the information he obtained, he didn't know what the reason was for Bai Lang to dislike Yuan Shikai very much, which made people feel a little wonderful. The Secret Service Bureau has also investigated, but has not received any definite information.

"Cooperation..."Bai Lang pondered, for some reason he didn't have a good impression of Yuan Shikai, he was also very aware of what he was doing in Henan now, and he believed that it would not be long before Yuan Shikai was provoked. This is also because of the relationship that he wants to cross the Jinghan Railway, but his target this time is Shandong instead of the historical Anhui. That's all, but now that the Anhui National Socialist Party has been contacted, things have changed a little...

Bai Lang has a good relationship with the Kuomintang, and is deeply influenced by the Kuomintang, which is probably one of the reasons why he has always disliked Yuan Shikai, but despite this, Bai Lang has no dislike for the Kuomintang Socialist Party, but because of the current situation in Anhui and has a little appreciation, so he is not against cooperation in his heart...

"What are the words of cooperation?"

"A lot," the man said, smiling. First of all, we can provide you with a batch of arms from the border, and there is intelligence, we can provide you with information about Beiyang, so that even if the people from Beiyang come to encircle and suppress it, there will be absolutely no problem..."

"Oh?!"

These two things are what Bai Lang needs, and if you want the army, you need two things first, people, and guns, and money, but this is more secondary.

The reason why Bai Lang's troops cannot be expanded at the moment is because he does not have enough weapons in his hands, in fact, if it were not for the recent period of time to break through many villages, towns, and county seats, and get a lot of guns, I am afraid that there would not even be more than 4,000 people now, if the National Socialist Army is willing to provide weapons, he is sure that he will expand his troops to 10,000 in a short time.

However, compared to this, Bai Lang values intelligence more.

He had also heard of the reputation of the Secret Service Bureau, and it seemed to be very powerful. Now the reason why Bai Lang can run rampant in Henan, in addition to guarding against emptiness, another reason is that he has enough eyeliner, and he can get information in advance if the officials and soldiers come to suppress bandits, the problem is that this eyeliner method has its own limitations after all, if you can have the help of the Special Affairs Bureau...

Thinking of this, Bai Lang made a decision.

After all, both sides have a common enemy, and there is no stake, so it is natural to know what to do about certain things.

————————————————————

After some discussion with the top brass of Bai Lang's army, Bai Lang soon made a decision to cooperate with the Nationalist Army in Anhui.

And after making this decision, he also got what he wanted, that is, the weapons and equipment he urgently needed at the moment, including 5,000 of the latest rifles and more than 30,000 grenades, and even a hundred Madsen light machine guns.

However, it is impossible for these equipment to be delivered to Bai Lang immediately, and can only be smuggled by means.

This is also something that can't be helped, because now Bai Lang is in the western section of the Jinghan Railway, while Yan Shao's side is in the eastern section of the railway. The distance between the two sides is too far, unless the people in Beiyang are blind, it is impossible to send the equipment to the enemy safely.

On the other hand, as an ally, Bai Lang also needs to fulfill his obligations.

This obligation is also very simple, that is, to make a mess of Henan, this task has been completed quite well in the past, but Yan Shao hopes that he can complete it even better in the future.

And he also hoped that Bai Lang could destroy the section of the Jinghan Railway near Hebei, so that Feng Guozhang would have to face logistical problems.

As Yan Shao's latest ally, Bai Lang naturally patted his chest and agreed, and he did the same.

Almost the day after the alliance, Bai Lang left the county town he now occupied with his team and headed in the direction of the Jinghan Railway, his purpose this time was nothing else, that is, to completely destroy the Jinghan Railway...

And just as he was doing this, Yan Shao, who was far away in Anhui, was also thinking about a very important question...

"Do you want to set up a private bank?" (To be continued......)
