Li Chun was suddenly shocked by Cheng Ziyin's fierce answer, and was speechless for a long time. Baidu search://Cheng Ziyin took the opportunity to announce: "This is the end of the meeting, the meeting is over!" After speaking, he took Zhang Shiying, He Sui, and Zhou Weizhen and left.

After walking out of the headquarters, He Sui asked worriedly: "Commander Cheng, do you really plan to put all these people under house arrest?" What if there is a mutiny? ”

"Don't you have a lot of your own men? Just be on guard, they can't afford to make a big wave. Cheng Ziyin was very unimpressed.

He Sui was even more worried: "Commander Cheng, our Sixth Town is different from your Forty-fourth Mixed Association. Your 44th Mixed Association soldiers are all students, knowledgeable and courteous, and deeply aware of righteousness, so they take a firm stand and enforce the order. But five or six out of ten of our soldiers in the sixth town are for food, as long as they give enough silver, it is not a problem who kills or who they do with; Only 12/10 of the whole army are our own people, and the rest are confidants and cronies of officials at all levels. If they knew that their master was under house arrest and instigated tandem in the army, the consequences would be unimaginable! ”

Zhang Shiying also reminded: "Commander Cheng, most of our own comrades guard the warehouse at the station, and the troops in other parts of the city are limited, and the information is not well-informed. It's okay to put them under house arrest for half a day, three or four hours, but if you really want to be under house arrest for a day or two, and there is no one to control them in the army, then it will be chaotic inside and outside Zhengding City! ”

Cheng Ziyin frowned and said: "In this case, Xufu, please go and help me send three telegrams, the first one is to Zhang Shihou in Baoding, saying that the situation in Zhengding is critical, please go south quickly." The second letter was sent to the Zhao Governor of Xi'an and the Yan Governor of Taiyuan, saying that I, Cheng Ziyin, would be imprisoned in Shaanxi by my mother, and the specific matters should be resolved by the two governors. As for the third letter - Yuhe, just now you said that there are more than 300,000 taels of silver in the station warehouse alone? ”

Zhang Shiying nodded and said, "Yes, the account is more than 362,700 taels." ”

"Then the third letter we will electrify the whole country, and offer a reward of 30,000 taels to catch the dog thief of Ma Buzhou. Whoever can send Commander Wu's head will also be rewarded with 30,000 taels. Bounties are valid for a long time! Even if he can't catch the dog thief for a while, he will have to leave his relatives and have trouble sleeping. ”

When this bounty was announced, it immediately caused the greedy people of the world to salivate. And the same index finger movement also includes Ma Buzhou's gold master Zhou Fulin. After Ma Bu Zhou Xing stabbed and dodged for several days, he carried Wu Luzhen's head to Zhou Fulin to ask for a reward, but Zhou Fulin didn't say a word and cut off Ma Bu Zhou's Liuyang Leader. sent someone to give Cheng Ziyin along with Wu Luzhen's head in exchange for a reward of 60,000 taels. Of course, it's just a matter of not mentioning it later.

He Sui respectfully gave a military salute and said solemnly: "Yes, commander, I'll do it!" ”

Seeing He Sui leave happily, Cheng Ziyin asked Zhou Weizhen again, "Brother Ganchen." Where is the bid you borrowed from Li Xiushan (Li Chun) now? ”

When Zhou Weizhen heard that Wu Luzhen was assassinated, he had just cried a lot, and at this time he replied with grief: "Returning to the commander, the lower official borrowed Zhang Jingyao's twenty-second standard." Originally, it was going to take the bus north, so now it's near the train station. ”

Cheng Ziyin said: "It seems that the killing just now was the right killing, otherwise I would have to kill now!" Yuhe, Ganchen, I have an idea about the situation in the city, I don't know if it will work. Tell me and sum it up with you, right? ”

Zhang Shiying and Zhou Weizhen replied in unison: "Listen to the officials!" ”

Cheng Ziyin said: "These soldiers in the sixth town, no one cares about making trouble; Let the officers in the courtyard out of the way, they'll make trouble with the soldiers. Thus. The root cause of the instability of Zhengding City is in these soldiers. My idea was to send them all out of town. How to send it? In the name of going north to fight, we gathered the soldiers of the sixth town as battalions, the revolutionary comrades stayed, the cronies of the imprisoned officers should be killed and closed, and the rest of the soldiers who were willing to go north to participate in the war were paid double salaries, and those who were unwilling to go were sent to Baoding for dismissal. Our troops in Baoding are coming over, and the empty wagons that go back are just right for them, and by the way, they will fill the void in Baoding's defense. ”

"That's a good plan!"

"Brilliant plan!"

Zhang Shiying and Zhou Weizhen praised from the bottom of their hearts. At that moment, the three of them carefully scrutinized this plan, perfected the details, and immediately put it into practice.

Let's say that Cheng Ziyin and Zhang Shiying left. Leaving a bunch of officers looking at each other in the conference room. Qi Xieyuan suddenly shouted: "Li Xietong, now that there has been a sudden change, please give everyone an idea!" ”

"Yes, yes, Li Xietong, you can give us an idea! We all listen to you! ”

"Li Xietong, the twenty-first standard of our infantry is only your horse!"

"Our horse team also listens to you!"

"And the sixth standard of our artillery!"

……

The supreme commander of the sixth town of the army is naturally Wu Luzhen. But there are rumors that he has been assassinated, and he is no longer at the scene, so naturally it is not in the picture. Next are Li Chun, the 11th Co-ordination Coordinator, and Wu Hongchang, the 12th Co-Coordinator. Wu Hongchang was only transferred from the 12th Town to the 6th Town at the beginning of this year, replacing the dismissed Zhou Fulin as the 12th Co-ordinator, and his influence was far less than that of Li Chun, who had been entrenched in the Sixth Town for many years. At this time, it is reasonable for everyone to launch Li Chun.

Li Chun got up and hugged his fists at everyone: "Favored by all the gentlemen, Li is really disrespectful and deserved!" It's just that at the moment, it is about the life and death of the sixth town, and all the robes in our army should work together to tide over the difficulties. As the saying goes: 'A snake does not go without a head, and a bird does not fly without a head.' 'If there is no one to rule the Sixth Town now, and they are in their own way, I am afraid that they will be like a plate of scattered sand, and they will really be slaughtered by others. Li Mouxi is the 11th Association Coordinator, and his responsibilities are incumbent. I am willing to join you in the righteous deeds and maintain the military flag of the sixth town! ”

The room burst into thunderous applause.

Li Chun came out at this time, but it was just to clear the way for him to become the commander of the sixth town in the future. Wu Hongchang knew it in his heart, and said coldly at the moment: "The Xiushan Association is temporarily in charge of the system, and the younger brother is also very supportive. It's just that if you want to maintain the military flag of the sixth town, you have to get out of this courtyard first, right? ”

"Brother Chen, do you mean that we are under house arrest in this courtyard?" Li Chun immediately understood what Wu Hongchang meant.

"See it at a glance!" After that, Wu Hongchang walked to the window and casually pushed open a carved window. Through the window, they saw that a new fortification had been erected at the entrance of the courtyard, and several light and heavy machine guns were placed on it; There are also people patrolling back and forth with guns on the courtyard wall, and a mortar is separated by a dozen steps. The soldiers on duty heard someone open the window, and all kinds of fire were aimed in this direction.

Li Chun and the others couldn't help but gasp.

Qi Xieyuan shouted: "Cheng Ziyin, this bastard, what does he want to do?" Do you want to make trouble? ”

Wu Hongchang closed the window and sat back down: "Committing a mess? He Cheng Ziyin has done it more than once or twice! Twenty days ago, he and Yan Baichuan had a in Taiyuan; Ten days ago. He and Wu Shouqing did it again in Shijiazhuang; Now it seems that he is ready to do it again with Zhang Yuhe in Zhengding Mansion. ”

"I'm going to go out and have a look! I don't believe these bastards would dare to shoot at me, the dignified staff officer of the Eleventh Assistant! Qi Xie Yuan shouted inwardly.

Wu Hongchang sneered a few times and said disdainfully: "I'm afraid that ten minutes ago, Zhang Jingyao also thought so. Clamour. He's still lying in the yard! ”

I don't know whether it was negligence or intention, Zhang Jingyao's body was not transported, and it still maintained the appearance when it was shot. Qi Xieyuan thought of Zhang Jingyao's death, and couldn't help but shudder: Since the deputy commander of the second pole dared to kill a standard commander, he definitely didn't care about killing another assistant staff officer!

There was a deathly silence in the room.

Li Chunyu cheered everyone up and said: "You don't have to be afraid, Cheng Ziyin will put us under house arrest for half a day at most, and he won't dare to do anything to us!" You must know that our troops are all nearby. As long as we don't go back for half a day, the troops will definitely rise up and make trouble! ”

"The co-ordinator is right! The contemptible people have some old relatives on the mark, and they will definitely come to the headquarters to inquire about the news if they don't go back for a long time. At that time, hum, I'm afraid that Cheng Ziyin's bastard won't be able to eat and go around! Qi Xieyuan also preached desperately.

Who knew that the sun rose and set in the west, and then the moon also rose and set, until the sun rose again. There was still no news from outside, and Cheng Ziyin had no intention of releasing them.

And so it went on for three days. In these three days, all the materials in Zhengding City were transferred to Niangzi Pass. Most of the soldiers of the Sixth Town were sent to Baoding, and the rest were mixed with the southward detachment of Cheng Ziyin's department to form the 45th Mixed Association. The 45th Mixed Association has jurisdiction over the 89th and 90th Infantry Standards, as well as the 45th Cavalry Battalion, the 45th Artillery Battalion, the 45th Engineer Brigade, and the 45th Baggage Brigade. The preparation is as follows:

Co-ordinator: Cheng Ziyin

Deputy Co-Coordinator and Staff Officer: Zhang Shiying

The 89th standard of infantry, the standard commander He Sui, and the deputy standard commander Ni Dexun, under the jurisdiction of two battalions.

The 90th standard of infantry, Zhou Weizhen, and Wang Xiaozhen, deputy commander, have two battalions.

45th Battalion of Horsemen. Battalion commander Qu Shoudi

45th Artillery Battalion, Battalion Commander Liu Wenjin

The 45th Mixed Association had a total of 3,000 and 200 troops, and this was the result of Zhang Huizan taking into account the lack of Zhengding's military strength and sending a few hundred more people south, otherwise there would not be even 3,000 people.

After the last batch of goods was loaded, Cheng Ziyin and He Sui came to the headquarters with a few people. For Li Chun, Wu Hongchang and others, they are only under house arrest. They were not treated harshly, there were a lot of chickens, fish, meat and eggs in the meal, but most of them were yellow-faced, lacklustre, with dark circles under their eyes, and they hadn't slept well in the past few days. The so-called "a big husband can't be without power for a day", and that's true!

Seeing Cheng Ziyin come in, Li Chun straightened his crumpled military uniform, sat on the Taishi chair pretend, and wanted to put on the majesty of the co-ordinator, but his hoarse voice completely exposed his essence of being strong and middle-class: "Cheng Huchen, are you here to kill me?" Don't worry, if you want to kill, you have to listen to it, and I, Li, will never frown! ”

Qi Xieyuan trembled and said, "Commander Cheng, you and I are both robes in the army, do you want to kill each other now?" ”

Cheng Ziyin said with a smile: "The 45th Mixed Association has been reorganized and is going west one after another. We are the last rearguard and will soon withdraw from Zhengding, so your house arrest will be lifted immediately. In other words, you are free! ”

"You're not going to kill us?" Li Chun and Qi Xieyuan both had bright eyes.

"Hehe, we are all in the army, why can't we bear fratricide?" Cheng Ziyin replied by borrowing Qi Xieyuan's words. But I thought in my heart: If you know that the sixth town has been demolished by me, I'm afraid you will feel that life is better than death, right?

When Li Chun learned that he could still get out alive, his mind immediately became lively, and he quickly remembered another question: "What about our troops?" ”

Cheng Ziyin had a smile on his face: "Your troops? Oh, you'll have to find out for yourselves, I don't know. ”

As soon as the words were finished, the group of officers rushed out. A few minutes later, they heard a terrible curse from not far away, thinking that they had received news that the troops had been dismantled.

Cheng Ziyin turned to He Sui and said, "Xu Fu, let's go too!" ”

He Sui walked to the entrance of the headquarters and couldn't help but look back at it again, and in an instant, thousands of tastes came to his heart. Since the uprising, how much hope, how much planning, how much effort, seeing victory in sight, but in the end, "for the mountain, nine points, the achievement fell short". And Wu Luzhen, who has always given him great trust, died so miserably, but he couldn't avenge him. Thinking of this, He Sui's sorrow came from it, and he couldn't help crying loudly. (To be continued.) )
