"Lord Liu."

"Alas, don't call it that, what should we say about our relationship?" The middle-aged official waved his hand and asked with a little unpleasantness.

"Uncle." Yuan Pengfei said affectionately.

The middle-aged man's face immediately changed back, and he chatted amiably.

This person's name is Liu Zhengping, and he is a Han official who has recently attacked with a golden bullet. He doesn't have much hobbies, he likes gold, and after a few times, the two of them have become uncles and nephews.

He is not a big official, nor does he have much power, but he is a staff member of Xu Shichang, the Minister of Military Aircraft.

This Lord Xu, but the soon-to-be-appointed governor of the three eastern provinces, is also in charge of the affairs of the generals of the three eastern provinces, and combines military and political power, so far it is higher than Yuan Shikai, the governor of Zhili.

It was never said that he was going to challenge the big boss just after he came out of the novice village. Yuan Pengfei didn't ask him to look up, but he couldn't be an enemy in his eyes.

However, a certain giant bandit in Liaoxi, the most wanted criminal in the Qing Dynasty, has long been on his Xu someone's must-kill list.

Yuan Pengfei came for this matter today, and he complained: "Uncle, there are more than 300 people under Du Lisan's command, all of whom are bandits with skilled equestrian skills and accurate marksmanship.

And in the name of this giant bandit in Liaoxi, it is not a joke to gather thousands of bandits in the green forest, and the little nephew really can't afford to provoke him! ”

Liu Zhengping also knew how powerful Du Lisan was, and if Du Lisan wanted to, it would not be a problem to capture one or two county seats.

There is no gold mine and the biggest source of income, how can Yuan Pengfei's filial piety still exist?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh and sighed: "It's a pity, it's a pity!" ”

"Uncle, what's the pity?"

Yuan Pengfei didn't understand what kind of medicine he was selling in this gourd.

"It's a pity that this is a good opportunity!" Of course, Liu Zhengping couldn't say what he said in his heart, and he pulled it to Xu Shichang's reward.

"Lord Xu is here to govern the Northeast, and the first to bear the brunt is of course this stubborn giant bandit. Du Lisan's brothers Zhang Zuolin and Feng Delin are negotiating Zhao'an, and Lord Xu is ready to give them a position as the commander of the patrol battalion. ”

"Oh, these two are familiar." Yuan Pengfei asked tentatively, he wanted to hear what Liu Zhengchen had to say.

Liu Zhengping is the kind of trustworthy official who does things with money, and naturally knows everything.

During the Russo-Japanese War, these two helped the Japanese deal with the Russians, harassed the logistics and transportation of the Russians, and found out the news of the Russian army, and made no small contributions.

After the end of the war, the Japanese also wanted to intervene in the two pro-Japanese factions, so they recommended them to the Qing government, and Xu Shichang agreed after a little consideration.

First, it takes too much manpower, material resources and money to exterminate these bandits, and it may not be effective.

Second, these people came from the rain of bullets, and they have very strong combat ability, and they can be appeased by an official position, and they can also be used to clean up other bandits, killing two birds with one stone.

Liu Zhengping, as a staff member, knows a lot of inside information. As far as he knew, some people suggested that after Zhang Zuolin was recruited, he would attack poison with poison and send him to deal with Du Lisan.

If he succeeds, he will be promoted to a level, and if he fails, there is nothing to lose, and it is a big deal to find someone to deal with Du Lisan.

Zhang Zuolin was the later king of the Northeast, does this matter need to be said if it is not successful?

Yuan Pengfei estimated that as long as Zhang Zuolin presented his brother's head, he would be able to be promoted to a higher level, and he would be the leader of any road, and he would be prosperous.

But these are not of much interest to him, Xu Shichang used Zhang Zuolin to deal with Du Lisan This is not for a while, and he has to face an imminent crisis at this time, and after a long time, Du Lisan may bring someone to call.

Since the Qing court can't use it, let's see what benefits can be gained! Yuan Pengfei changed his expression and asked respectfully: "Uncle, you see that with my current position, if you take Du Lisan's head......"

Liu Zhengping hesitated for a moment, "Virtuous nephew, this is really a bit dangerous. However, this is also an opportunity to show his face, Lord Xu brought the 2nd Mixed Association of the New Army to garrison, and the original 40th Battalion of the Old Army 8th Road in Fengtian Province.

The new army is a turnip and a pit, and those are all classes in military schools, so it is a little difficult for you to get in. But it's no problem to get you a position as a patrol battalion manager. ”

Yuan Pengfei couldn't help frowning when he heard this, the patrol battalion was formed by selecting the strength of the old green battalion and the brave battalion, plus recruiting people, and its nature was to protect the local police security team.

Don't look at 40 battalions sounds like a lot, in fact, a battalion is pitifully small, and the battalion formed by the infantry is about the same as his independent regiment at that time, only 300 people.

If it was a battalion composed of horse teams, there would not even be 200 people, and there would be only more than 130 war horses.

Not to mention anything else, the insurance team he is now under under his command to protect the territory and the people has recruited 200 people during this time.

War horses are necessary for everyone, although the guns are not as good as one per person, they are also armed with the vast majority, which is not much worse than this patrol battalion.

He is like that, although no one pays him a military salary, and he relies on himself for weapons and equipment, but there is no such mother-in-law on top of his head!

If you really enter this pit, then you have to be ordered by others, and it is not so simple to live a quiet life.

Looking at Liu Zhengping, who was drinking tea, he politely refused: "Uncle, the little nephew has no big ambitions, and getting an insurance team is just to protect the territory and the people." If the ground could be more peaceful, the little nephew would have gone into business a long time ago. ”

Liu Zhengping put down the tea bowl, looked at Yuan Pengfei carefully for a while, and sighed: "What the virtuous nephew said makes sense!" Thousands of miles of officials are only for money, not for money, what kind of officials are you? The virtuous nephew can see it! ”

Yuan Pengfei smiled, it's not that he can see it, what is he doing with official hats? Although the power gives him the ability to command others, the superiors can also use the power to direct him!

It's best to do the kind of business that doesn't ask for people, only others ask for your share, you don't need to ask others, how much freedom, and you can enjoy the best life.

However, since someone wants to break his stable life, he can only fight up and let him know that he knows that the rabbit will bite if he is in a hurry.

"Uncle, since this Du Lisan doesn't let me have a good time, then I can only give him a ride." Yuan Pengfei's voice changed and he talked about his true purpose, "But this credit can't be wasted, and I asked my uncle to help sell it for a good price, and let my little nephew not do it for nothing, isn't it!" ”

"Hmm!" Liu Zhengping's eyes lit up, this is another good opportunity to make a fortune!

"Virtuous nephew is serious!"

"Seriously, make a profit of five or five points."

"Okay, then the old man should go down and wait for the good news of the virtuous nephew." Liu Zhenping smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, very happy.

This can sell a big favor, and he can also get a lot of silver, and all the good things let him catch up.
