Traveling through the Republic of China, I married a dead person

Zhou Beiwang told Su Bai that in the afternoon, military intelligence reports came from Tianlong County and Linhua County. Yang Huasen gathered thousands of people from various departments to mutiny, and they indeed joined the army of Marshal Yang.

These more than a thousand soldiers escaped from multiple troops in Tianlong, Linhua and Longxing.

Su Bai was right. Marshal Yang and Yang Huasen were indeed related. They were uncle and nephew within the five generations of mourning.

But the reason for Yang Huasen's mutiny was not because of his relationship with Marshal Yang. They had not had any contact for many years, not to mention that Yang Huasen was Marshal Kong's direct descendant and had fought many battles with Marshal Yang's troops over the years.

The most fundamental reason is that Mr. Kong’s direct descendants were excluded and discriminated against by Kong Chen.

This is the information Zhou Beiwang learned from someone he specifically contacted today.

Before Master Kong became seriously ill, Yang Huasen was the commander of the Independent Regiment of the Kong Family Army. The Independent Regiment was Marshal Kong's most loyal and hardcore team.

After the military power was transferred to Kong Chen, Kong Chen disbanded the independent regiment and dispersed the soldiers of the independent regiment to other troops. Yang Huasen was promoted to another brigade as brigade commander, but this brigade was the worst equipped one in the Kong family army. It was composed of old, weak and disabled soldiers, and was incompletely equipped. The entire brigade had less than 300 people in total, not even the number of a fully staffed battalion.

Yang Huasen was promoted from regimental commander to brigade commander, which was actually a promotion in name only and a demotion in reality.

Not only that, Kong Chen also withheld their military pay.

In fact, withholding and delaying military pay was a common occurrence in the warlords' armies, but Kong Chen went even further and withheld more money from the direct descendants of Master Kong.

This mutiny can be said to be caused by the accumulated resentment between Yang Huasen and his former subordinates. After learning that the Kong Chen brothers had returned to Longxing to celebrate the 37th day after the death of Master Kong, they deliberately chose this day to launch the mutiny.

The mutinous troops have not yet joined up with Marshal Yang's main force. It is said that Marshal Yang has reappointed Yang Huasen and ordered his troops to temporarily station at the foot of the mountain west of Linhua City.

Although he did not join the main force, Kong Chen did not dare to lead his troops to suppress the rebellion easily, because this place was Marshal Yang's territory, and another unit of Marshal Yang was stationed not far from Yang Huasen's unit.

Zhou Beiwang believes that this mutiny, which seems to have nothing to do with Su Bai, will have an impact on the future of Su Bai and the Kong family, and it is likely to be a positive impact.

The National Government had long wanted to take this opportunity to crack down on these warlords who pretended to obey but actually disobeyed, and this incident gave them an excuse.

Both Kong Chen and Marshal Yang had to be punished.

One was incompetent in commanding his troops, and the other was foolish enough to instigate his friendly subordinates to rebel.

Although it is unlikely that Kong Chen will be dismissed, he is very likely to be given a new appointment and transferred to other troops, and he will no longer be the local emperor of the Three Dragons Land.

By then, Su Bai wouldn't have to be afraid of him anymore.

Zhou Beiwang whispered to Su Bai that this was the news a friend of his got from the provincial government, who sent him a telegram today saying that the provincial government had already reported the preliminary punishment opinion to the national government, and as long as they gave the nod, the matter would be done immediately.

Moreover, two reorganized armies have been ordered to be transferred here. If Kong and Yang refuse to accept the transfer, they will most likely be suppressed.

This friend sent a telegram to Zhou Beiwang asking him to take this opportunity to leave the Temporary 11th Army. If Zhou Beiwang was willing, this friend could help him lobby for transfer.

Su Bai thought it was a good idea. The Kong family army was a ragtag army. It was really unfair for someone like Zhou Beiwang who had studied abroad in a foreign military academy to be a battalion commander here. Since there was this opportunity, he should of course join the regular army.

Zhou Beiwang shook his head, he didn't want to go.

Su Bai didn't dare to ask why he didn't want to go. If he asked, he would say that he didn't want to leave him, and then he wouldn't know how to respond.

It was no use even if she didn't ask, so Zhou Beiwang said it himself.

Su Bai’s current situation is so difficult and dangerous that it is not appropriate for him to leave at this time.

Besides, although Kong Chen is not a very good person and has a bad reputation outside, he does trust Zhou Beiwang very much.

When Zhou Beiwang returned from studying in Japan, Kong Chen contacted Zhou Beiwang through a friend and asked him to work in the Kong Family Army.

"Didn't you study abroad in a German military academy? How come you're in Japan now?"

It turned out that Zhou Beiwang originally went to study at a Japanese military academy. After the September 18th Incident, Sino-Japanese relations broke down, and this group of international students returned home before the end of the semester.

Later I went to Germany.

"Not easy, so you are proficient in both Japanese and German?" Nowadays, Zhou Beiwang is definitely considered a talent.

"Stop praising me. Shall I send you someone?" Zhou Beiwang suddenly said.

"Send, send who?"

What Zhou Beiwang meant was that the many crises Su Bai was facing now, no matter what kind of incident it was, would be dangerous for Su Bai. He even said that the blackmailer hiding in the dark was also dangerous to Su Bai. What if he didn't want to take the money one hundred at a time, and wanted to ask Su Bai for enough money at once to leave the Confucius Mansion? If Su Bai couldn't pay it immediately, anything could happen.

The relationship between the deaths of Wang Yutian and Doctor Jiang and Su Bai is at most speculated by a few people, but the guy who extorted the money knows Su Bai's background and must understand that it was Su Bai who ordered others to do it.

Since Su Bai could kill those two people, he could certainly kill him as well. He knew that he was in danger, so he would most likely extort a large sum of money and then leave the Kong family.

If he fails to achieve his wish, he will be desperate and attack Su Bai. Once Su Bai's identity is exposed, the enemy he will face will not be this blackmailer, but dozens of people in the Kong Mansion.

I will always...

Zhou Beiwang stopped here, but Su Bai could understand that these people in the Kong Mansion would eat him.

Zhou Beiwang wanted to send Xu Tianyi to Su Bai, and have him enter the Kong Mansion as a newly recruited servant, and live in the wing room in Su Bai's backyard like Yuan Yuze. No matter what unexpected events happened in the Kong Mansion that were unfavorable to Su Bai, with Xu Tianyi there, he could at least help Su Bai delay time and wait for Zhou Beiwang to bring help.

"If no one is by your side, it may be too late for me to rush into the Kong Mansion after I get the news. Please think about it."

Zhou Beiwang also said that Xu Tianyi was not only good at shooting, but also had good martial arts skills. When he fought with his bare hands, it would be difficult for three or five ordinary people to get close to him.

Moreover, Xu Tianyi had never stood guard in front of the Confucius Mansion, nor had he participated in the security of the Confucius Mansion's several tomb-visiting ceremonies. No one in the Confucius Mansion should recognize him.

Su Bai is not afraid that someone in the Kong Mansion will recognize Xu Tianyi. Now that he is no longer in the army, I will recruit him into the courtyard. Who can control him?

She felt that she had been too cautious before.

With Zhou Beiwang guarding opposite the Kong Mansion and Xu Tianyi protecting her by her side, what does it matter even if everyone in the Kong Mansion knows that she is a fake eldest lady?

I don't want to be a lady anymore, but you can't take my life.
