Expedition to Europe

Compared to Britain and Lan Fang, the strength of the Republic of China is not worth mentioning. Even if the Chiang Mai Freedom Army really agrees with the Republic of China, the Beiyang government may not dare to accept it.

The two chatted for a while, and Zhang Chengye ordered someone to call Cha Peng.

"Count how many people are left in Chiang Mai, spread the work team out, and act according to the original plan." Zhang Chengye acted according to the permanent plan.

In order to win the support of the people of Chiang Mai, Zhang Chengye used the "fight the local tyrants and divide the land" in Chiang Mai. It must be said that as long as there are poor people, this set of combined punches is basically invincible. The Chiang Mai Freedom Army has grown to more than 10,000 people in the past year, and drove the British out of Chiang Mai. This "fight the local tyrants and divide the land" has contributed greatly.

"Yes!" Cha Peng saluted properly, responded, turned around and ran away.

In fact, in the Chiang Mai Free Army, apart from Zhang Chengye and Xu Zhongqing, Cha Peng has the highest position. However, Cha Peng is quite good at dealing with people. He has a positive attitude and behaves very respectfully in front of Zhang Chengye and Xu Zhongqing, without any intention of being proud of his achievements.

"I say that we have occupied Chiang Mai now, should we slow down the fight against the local tyrants and divide the land?" Xu Zhongqing dared to speak after Cha Peng walked away.

The Xu family is a big family in Chiang Mai, and Xu Zhongqing's family has a lot of land in Chiang Mai. Strictly speaking, the Xu family is also the target of "fighting against the local tyrants and dividing the land", so Xu Zhongqing has some resentment about this policy.

Of course, this is only limited to when there are only Zhang Chengye and Xu Zhongqing, Xu Zhongqing dares to express it, even if Cha Peng is successful, he will never dare to say this.

"It depends on your ability. Our Lanfang is rich through industry and commerce. Although agriculture is important, at your level, there is no need to focus on that little land. There are plenty of lands in the Northern Frontier Region. You can discuss with your father and ask His Majesty to transfer the fief given to your father to the Northern Frontier Region. It will disgust you." Zhang Chengye could not understand the core of the family tradition of farming and reading.

Lanfang's title is not just a verbal check. There are still benefits. The fief is just one of them. Take the lowest baron as an example. You can enjoy a fief of 500 acres of land in Lanfang. If you want to go to the Northern Frontier Region, the number of fiefs can be doubled. This fief is not to directly distribute the land to others for disposal, but to be assigned to state-owned farms for unified cultivation by the state. The recipients can enjoy the output of the land, but are not allowed to resell it or use it for other purposes.

"Where would the devil go in the Northern Frontier Region, where is the shitty place!" Xu Zhongqing immediately expressed his disdain for the Northern Frontier Region.

"Silly man, you are still talking nonsense. To tell you the truth, the northern border area is not bad either, with rich products and fertile soil. Although it is not like ours where we can harvest three crops a year, the rice grown there is strong and chewy, and is not much inferior to our fragrant rice." Zhang Chengye does not allow others to slander Lan Fang's land, even if it is his own people.

"Then where is your fiefdom?" Xu Zhongqing was not confused by Zhang Chengye's explanation and asked directly to the root of the matter.

"Hehe, we don't want land. Two buddies and I asked His Majesty for an island. When I retire, I will go to my island to plant flowers and fish. I will also become an island owner." Zhang Chengye did not hide anything and looked forward to the future happy life.

"Island owner - this is good!" Xu Zhongqing was immediately tempted, and he probably had his own little calculations.

"Hehe, don't even think about it. Although your father's title is higher than mine, you can't be picky. My title is a noble lord, and your father's is a civilian lord." Zhang Chengye immediately poured cold water on him.

Lord?

Civilian lord?

Xu Zhongqing suddenly felt inferior.

"Huh, is that so rare? I'm also in the army now. As long as I have military merits, His Majesty will not treat me unfairly!" Xu Zhongqing is ambitious.

"That's right, work hard, maybe when you retire, your title will be higher than your father's." Zhang Chengye finally said something human.

From a long-term perspective, Zhang Chengye is right. Xu Zhongqing is indeed more promising than Zhang Chengye. Zhang Chengye joined the army as a laborer. Due to his limited cultural level, although Zhang Chengye is currently receiving adult education, he is ultimately not as good as Xu Zhongqing, who has been immersed in poetry and books since childhood.

In fact, it's the same wherever you go. If you have a little cultural background, you will always be more popular than the rough guys.

"Didn't we say yesterday that we were going to march into Chiang Rai? When will we go there? Can I lead the team?" When it comes to military achievements, Xu Zhongqing immediately became a little impatient.

Chiang Rai is located in the northeast of Chiang Mai. It was officially established ten years ago, and the capital is Chiang Rai City. Chiang Rai borders Chiang Mai, with Laos in French Indochina to the east and Burma occupied by the British to the west. It is considered the junction of three countries. If Chiang Rai is occupied, the Chiang Mai Freedom Army will be able to advance and retreat with a solid rear base.

Compared with Chiang Mai, the progress of Chiang Rai is a bit slow. At present, the British have stationed a division of British troops in Chiang Rai. This is a regular army transferred from Liabi, not a colonial army composed of Burmese and Indians. It has strong combat effectiveness, so it still occupies the city of Chiang Rai and resists stubbornly.

Zhang Chengye still has connections with the resistance army in Chiang Rai. After driving the British out of Chiang Mai, Zhang Chengye plans to send people into Chiang Rai to support.

"You go? Can you do it?" Zhang Chengye was a little worried. Although Xu Zhongqing was the second-in-command of the Chiang Mai Freedom Army, he had never led an army alone. Zhang Chengye was afraid that the hard-won situation would be lost overnight.

"Of course! How do you know it won't work without trying?" Xu Zhongqing was also fighting for military merit.

"Since you haven't tried it, how do you know it will work?" Zhang Chengye looked Xu Zhongqing up and down, his eyes full of suspicion.

"Stop talking nonsense, it's just a matter of words." Xu Zhongqing was anxious and begged for a pleasant word.

"Okay, you will listen to Lao Yu's command when you get there." Zhang Chengye agreed immediately. Anyway, even if he got to Chiang Rai Mansion, the people there would not let Xu Zhongqing mess around.

Just as Xu Zhongqing was about to flatter him, a guard hurried in: "Report, someone is making trouble in the prisoner of war camp. General Zhapeng is asking for support."

This "general" is not a regular "general" in the Lanfang military system. It is just a self-appointed official position in the Lanfang Free Army. The Lanfang Free Army currently has more than 10,000 people, which is almost the size of a division. If Lanfang is organized according to the organization, it is reasonable for the general to serve as a division-level leader.

"What's going on?" When he heard that something happened at the prisoner of war camp, Zhang Chengye couldn't care less about talking nonsense with Xu Zhongqing, got up and walked out the door.

"It's the same knight. He demanded treatment consistent with his status, and also encouraged other prisoners of war in the prisoner of war camp to cause trouble. General Zhapeng was a little unable to suppress him-" the guard said as he walked.

After going out and mounting his horse, Zhang Chengye had already figured out the whole story before arriving at the prisoner of war camp.

"Gentlemen, please return to the barracks immediately, otherwise you will be punished by discipline." In the prisoner of war camp, Cha Peng was reasoning with Sir Lauren Milne in broken English.

Lauren Milne was still wearing his extremely gorgeous ceremonial military uniform, like a proud rooster. Even in a prisoner of war camp, Lauren Milne was still very proud.

"Discipline? What kind of discipline is there for a mob like you? I demand treatment that matches my status, not an ordinary barracks with a dozen people in a room. This is the universal law of the world. Understand "Hillbilly!" Lauren Milne was not very polite and had no awareness of being a prisoner of war.

"Yes, we demand treatment that matches our status."

"There's not even a bathroom here, how can you live here?"

"You guys are really going too far."

There were more than a dozen officers standing behind Lauren Milne, and it seemed that most of them were British. As soon as Lauren Milne finished speaking, these officers immediately started shouting in support, and there were British soldiers a little further away. There was a lot of noise and the scene was extremely chaotic.

Almost all of the rioters were British. The Indian and Burmese soldiers knew the rules and no one followed them.

"Shut up, everyone!" As soon as he entered the door, he saw a lot of people making noises. Zhang Chengye was really not angry.

"God bless, finally a person in charge is here." Lauren Milne did not show much fear, but showed a relaxed look on her face. Facing Zhang Chengye, Lauren Milne repeated her request again.

This time it was different, at least the group of officers behind Lauren Milne did not dare to boo.

"Does it match your identity? What do you think your identity is now?" Zhang Chengye narrowed his eyes a little. Anyone who is familiar with Zhang Chengye knows that it is a sign of danger.

During the battle between the Chiang Mai Free Army and the British, Zhang Chengye brought more than half of the casualties when he entered Chiang Mai. These were Zhang Chengye's life and death brothers, so Zhang Chengye would not spoil Lauren Milne.

Lauren Milne still doesn't know what she is about to face, and she still emphasizes the so-called "international law".

"Fuck International Law, I haven't gone to school and don't know!" Zhang Chengye couldn't bear it anymore and shut up Lauren Milne with just one sentence.

"You, you, you -" Perhaps the answer she got was a bit too unexpected. Lauren Milne pointed her finger at Zhang Chengye with surprise on her face, stammering and speechless.

"Since you don't understand your identity, let me tell you that you are now a prisoner, a defeated and captured prisoner. When it comes to rights, you have no personal rights at all until the war is over. If you don't want to Living in the barracks, right? That's great, Zha Peng!" Zhang Chengye scolded him and called Zhapeng over: "Since Sir, you don't want to live in the barracks, then please live in a single room with Sir, and these officers and gentlemen. They all live in single rooms.”

"Single room" is a special name for the Chiang Mai Free Army. In the Lanfang army system, "single room" has a more popular name - small black room.
