Beiyang reactionaries

Jiang Hongyu continued: "Among the big bandits in Western Henan, there are only two people who are called Daren Dayi by the folks in Western Henan. One is this Zhang Ping, and the other is Guan Jinzhong, the ninth of the ten brothers of Yangshan. "

Listening to Jiang Hongyu's introduction of the Western Henan bandits, everyone present was very interested.

Li Jishen, students who have always been in the military academy, when did they hear so many things about bandits?Therefore, everyone was more interested in listening to Jiang Hongyu's storytelling.

"Speaking of this Guan Laojiu, it's even more powerful. After this person kidnapped a person, he treated him very well. In the end, the hostage gave money to Guan Laojiu himself. Guan Laojiu kidnapped him and told him, you The family is also difficult. Originally, I wanted one hundred silver dollars, but I wanted thirty silver dollars. Then the kidnapped person would end up giving fifty silver dollars to Guan Laojiu, and praised Guan Laojiu after returning. Nine."

"Hahaha."

Duan Xun and the others all laughed.

To be a bandit to Guan Laojiu's level is definitely to have thoroughly figured out the profession of banditry.If placed in later generations, these hostages are typical Stockholm syndrome.

"Of the ten brothers in Yangshan, although Wang Tianzong is the sixth oldest, it is because of his age. In terms of strength and prestige, the ten brothers in Yangshan were all headed by Wang Tianzong back then. The ten brothers traveled across the west of Henan for many years, and the government took them There was no way. But later this Guan Laojiu became more and more famous and powerful. Someone tried to provoke Wang Tianzong, saying that only Guan Laojiu was known on Yuxi Road, but Wang Laoliu (Wang Tianzong) was not known. Hearing that Wang Tianzong had a very bad temper, he was furious after hearing this. Wang Tianzong immediately joined forces with Zhang Zhigong and shot Guan Laojiu. Guan Laojiu had a good relationship with Chai Yunsheng and Han Yukun. Shoot Guan Laojiu At nine, Chai Yunsheng and Han Yukun were drinking together. If they hadn’t gone out on business, they might have been killed by Wang Tianzong. So after that, the ten brothers in Yangshan began to part ways and no longer acted in unison. In the year of Xinhai Although they defected to Zhang Fang together, they went their separate ways and broke up completely. Because of this matter, in the current Zhensong Army, Chai Yunsheng and Han Yukun have a tense relationship with Zhang Zhigong, and they don’t communicate at all.”

"Pity."

Duan Xun has also read the information on these past events.Wang Tianzong had a bit of a temper, someone said in front of him how majestic Guan Laojiu was, and said that everyone only knew Guan Laojiu.So Wang Tianzong and Zhang Zhigong jointly killed Guan Laojiu in a fit of anger.

This thing is a fuse.

The ten Yangshan brothers did not trust each other.At present, the three regiment leaders of Liu Zhenhua's Zhensong Army, Chai Yunsheng and Han Yukun, are all together. The relationship between the two of them and Zhang Zhigong is very bad, because of the matter of Guan Laojiu.

Well, the Ten Brothers of Yangshan actually caused such a situation.Back then, the ten of them traveled across the west of Henan, which should have been a good story, but unfortunately because of Wang Tianzong's impulsiveness, they had to part ways.

"However, since Zhang Ping has left Zhensong Army, what are you looking for him for?"

"Commander, I have investigated the situation of bandits around Luoning (Yongning) where we are going. The largest group of bandits among them is Zhang Shichen. Not only are there a large number of bandits, but the weapons in their hands are not bad. And this Zhang Shichen has a deep relationship with Zhang Ping. The relationship is Zhang Ping’s old subordinate. After Zhang Ping left the Zhensong Army, his troops belonged to Yang Ziying, the second-ranked member of Zhang Ping’s army, and Zhang Shichen was the third-ranked member of Zhang Ping’s army.”

The so-called Erjiagan is the name of the bandits in western Henan, which means the second leader.Zhang Shichen was the third leader of the original Zhang Ping army.Although the Zhensong Army is a regular army recognized by the government, it still practices bandits.

If Zhang Ping leaves the army, then his army will be taken over by the second leader.

"Zhang Shichen is a good gambler. Once he even gambled with the army's salary, and finally lost all the army's salary. Because of this incident and Yang Ziying's embarrassment, he left the Zhensong Army and became a general again. Unexpectedly, In less than a year, 500 people have already gathered. In Luoning area, they are calling the wind and calling the rain.”

"It's really a dog can't change eating shit."

Duan Xun sneered.

The Zhensong Army is indeed a bandit-born army, without any military discipline.If you are happy, you can be a regular soldier.If you are not happy with what you do, you will go up the mountain to become a bandit.But it's really powerful, there can be 500 people in less than a year.

"You mean to appease Zhang Shichen?"

"Yes."

Jiang Hongyu nodded, and said: "Commander, we have just arrived in Western Henan, and we are not strong enough. If we want to quickly stabilize our position in Western Henan, the best way is to appease Zhang Shichen. As long as Zhang Shichen is recruited, the situation in Western Henan will be changed." can be opened."

"You make me think about it."

Duan Xun held his forehead and thought for a while.

Western Henan.

At present, Duan Xun only has about [-] people, and most of them are recruits.It is not easy to suppress bandits.It is a very good way to appease some bandits in western Henan.But how to transform these bandits, how to make them become their own troops, is not so easy.

"Meet Zhang Ping first."

(Zhang Shichen left the Zhensong Army because of the use of military pay, which happened after the fourth or fifth year of the Republic of China (1915 or 1916). For the development of the plot, he was allowed to qualify in advance. I hope readers will forgive me.)

7 Liu Zhenhua

"Commander Duan, welcome."

Duan Xun's troops had just entered Luoyang, and Liu Zhenhua came to greet Duan Xun in person.

"Commander Liu, don't dare. You are a senior, and my brother still has to eat in your territory. I hope Commander Liu will take care of you."

Liu Zhenhua has a crew cut and short hair.The mouth is somewhat large, and there is a mustache around the mouth.He is just 30 years old this year, five years older than Duan Xun, but he looks like he is 35 or [-] years old.

with a smile on his face.

He greeted Duan Xun with a smile.

Looking at Liu Zhenhua's appearance, he doesn't look like a soldier at all, but looks like a politician.But yes, although Liu Zhenhua was in command of the Zhensong Army, he joined the army as a scholar.

"Commander Duan..."

"Don't dare. Commander Liu, you can call me by my name, or call me Degong."

Liu Zhenhua.

Duan Xun came to the west of Henan because of the territory in the west of Henan.But Duan Xun is not a fool, Yuxi is the territory of Zhensong Army.If Liu Zhenhua was offended, if he played a trick a little bit, the bandits in western Henan would be enough for Duan Xun to drink a pot.

Therefore, it is very important to have a good relationship with Liu Zhenhua at this stage.

"it is good."

Liu Zhenhua was very happy and said, "Degong (Duan Xun), then don't call me Commander Liu. If you don't mind, just call me Big Brother Liu."

"Brother Liu."

Not to mention the troops of bandits like the Zhensong Army, even in the Beiyang Army, everyone swore at every turn.The titles are the same as those of the Jianghu people.During the Revolution of [-], the Shaanxi Revolutionary Army and the Beiyang Army signed an armistice agreement in Tongguan, and Zhang Peng went to the Beiyang Army camp in person.The first thing Zhao Ti and the other officers of the Beiyang Army did was not to sign an armistice agreement with Zhang Fang, but to pull him to worship.

The Beiyang Army did not believe in something on paper like the Armistice Agreement.They believe in the oldest way, which is to worship, and everyone will be brothers in the future.In this way, even if the agreement is not signed, the effect is better than the agreement.

The officers of the Beiyang Army are like this, let alone the Zhensong Army, they are completely like a quack.If Duan Xun carried it, then Liu Zhenhua and the others would be unhappy.

"De Gong, let's go. I have arranged dinner. I have also found a place to rest for your troops."

"Thank you Brother Liu."

Duan Xun turned to Li Jishen and said, "Ren Chao (Li Jishen), take the troops to rest."

"Yes."

Among the officers under Duan Xun, apart from Jiang Hongyu, Duan Xun's closest direct descendant is Xu Yongchang, and the one he trusts the most is also Xu Yongchang.Because Xu Yongchang is Duan Xun's best student.But when it comes to the most important thing, besides Jiang Hongyu is Li Jishen.Li Jishen has good grades and is 27 years old, which is the right age.

They are also much more stable than Xu Yongchang and Yu Xuezhong, so the company commander of the first company of the army is Li Jishen.When Duan Xun and Jiang Hongyu were away, Li Jishen led this army.

Very grand.

That's all Duan Xun could say.Duan Xun did not expect Liu Zhenhua to receive him so grandly.Liu Zhenhua's generals, Chai Yunsheng, Zhang Zhigong, Han Yukun, Wu Yanzhou and others all attended the scene, and then Liu Zhenhua personally accompanied Duan Xun.

"Brother Liu, thank you."

"Brother, elder brother is different from brother. My brother graduated from a regular military academy and is a student of President Duan. I have a bright future waiting for my brother. But my elder brother does not love my uncle or grandma, so I can only be careful at all times. Watch Brother, big brother is really envious."

After drinking too much, Liu Zhenhua talked a little bit.
