20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 224 The Reckless Era
30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi.

The world is nothing but chaos, you just finish singing and I come on stage.

Ivan Akbarov, who was originally just a low-level officer in charge of railway security in Liaoyang City, was able to boss Zhang Zongchang and Jiang Xiaodao and wield the power of life and death.

However, in the Russo-Japanese War, Mao Zi fought unfavorably and suffered a huge defeat. As a result, many officers were demoted or punished. Ivan was also sent to Siberia to dig potatoes. Later, he gradually joined the gold mining team, and now he has become Zhang Zongchang's subordinate. The little ponyboy is really ridiculous.

Ivan has long forgotten the events of ten years ago.

Years of hard physical labor have left the last trace of aristocratic temperament in his body gone, and his beard has lost all its hooks.

Now that he met Jiang Xiaodao's eyes, he just felt at a loss, so he spoke a few words to Zhang Zongchang in Russian.

Jiang Xiaodao gestured and said, "Back then, in Liaoyang, you had someone point a gun at my head. Do you remember?"

Ivan shook his head and couldn't remember, just like people don't care if they have once trampled an ant to death on the roadside.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit serious, Zhang Zongchang held down Jiang Xiaodao's arm and laughed loudly: "Brother Jiang, this happened ten years ago. Let's get over it! This little Ivan is following me now. You should be treated as a slave." Can I save some face, okay?"

Jiang Xiaodao's eyes were fixed on Ivan's face. He remained motionless, but said, "No."

The scene suddenly became awkward.

Zhang Zongchang's face was shameless, but it was impossible for him to fall out with Jiang Xiaodao over an idiot, so he immediately cursed at Ivan in Russian.

What he was scolding was unknown.

However, after hearing this, Ivan's face became a little ugly. He stood up reluctantly, walked to Jiang Xiaodao, and bowed deeply: "Blastiti (sorry)!"

Zhang Zongchang laughed twice and said: "Brother, he has already apologized to you. He is a big man. If you ask me, let's get rid of this matter!"

"No." Jiang Xiaodao's refusal was blunt.

The corners of Zhang Zongchang's mouth drooped, and he lowered his voice and said, "Brother, give me some face! There are so many people watching!"

Jiang Xiaodao hurriedly said: "Brother Zhang, it's not that I don't give you face, but the hatred of yesterday is like a light on my back. I can just say sorry and it's over. I don't have any glory in my face!"

"That's true! Brother, what do you want to do?"

From the moment Jiang Xiaodao saw Zhang Zongchang and this table of rich and foreign entourage, an idea came into his mind, and he smiled secretly and said: "I want him to help me kill someone. "

After saying this, everyone was stunned.

Zhang Zongchang rolled his eyes, but asked with a smile: "Brother, I just saw that you have many people under your command. They must be doing well in Fengtian, and most people probably don't dare to mess with you. To be honest, I want to If you want to kill someone, I can help you. However, on this trip, I have errands to do, so it’s best to avoid causing trouble. How about you give me a break first, who do you want to kill?"

"Brother Zhang, don't worry, how could I push you into the fire pit?" Jiang Xiaodao pointed at Ivan and said, "However, the person I want to kill is not only the one I want to kill, he must also want to kill him!"

"Oh? Is there still such a thing?"

Jiang Xiaodao nodded, looked at Ivan, and said, "Do you want to kill Japanese people? Neon! Zhepan! Bagh Yalu!"

It wasn't until he heard the four words "Bagh Ya Road" that Ivan's eyes finally brightened up, and he immediately flicked his tongue quickly and said a lot in Russian.

Zhang Zongchang was in the middle of the translation, and in a few words, he provoked Ivan's anger.

I think back then, at the end of the Russo-Japanese War, many young Maoist factions insisted on rejecting peace talks and vowed to fight the Japanese to the end. However, the Czar took into account the situation on the Eastern Front and was forced to make peace as a last resort.

Now seeing the opportunity to kill Xiao Dongyang, Ivan was naturally angry and eager to try.

Jiang Xiaodao didn't need to translate. Just by looking at Ivan's reaction, he knew that the other party was willing to take action.

Jiang Xiaodao felt uneasy as his aunt's revenge had not yet been avenged, but in today's Fengtian Province, Xiao Dongyang's power was not easy to deal with, so he kept thinking about how to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

Using Maozi as a blindfold is indeed a good choice.

"Brother Zhang, it seems I guessed it right. This little Ivan seems quite happy!"

Zhang Zongchang was still hesitant, and after thinking for a moment, he asked: "Brother, it's not that I feel sorry for my helper, but I really have something to do recently. When are you going to take action? Brother, I'm just resting in Fengtian, and I'm going to do it soon. gone."

"Leave?" Jiang Xiaodao frowned, "Brother Zhang, you finally came back, where are you going?"

"Hey! I went back to my hometown in Shandong. I haven't been back for more than ten years."

"Brother Zhang, since you broke into Guandong back then, you might as well settle down and take root here. In the Northeast, no matter who you are, you can conquer the world with your nakedness. It just so happens that you can show your talents, why do you have to go back? Isn't it good for Fengtian? "Zhang Zongchang stopped talking, turned around and winked at his subordinates. After the door was closed, he lowered his voice and said, "Brother Jiang, we are confidants. I won't hide it from you. I'll tell you the truth. You, I am going to Shandong to join Governor Hu!"

Jiang Xiaodao was stunned when he heard this, and immediately lowered his voice and said, "Brother Zhang, you also want revolution? Now Fengtian is arresting party members everywhere, are you going to risk your life if you go here?"

"Brother, for those who are not revolutionary, put these words aside for now." Zhang Zongchang said with a smile, "I only know that this is an opportunity."

"what chance?"

"An opportunity to turn around!" Zhang Zongchang explained, "You don't even have to look at what the world is like now. It doesn't matter who you are, be it a thieves, gangsters, or gangsters. As long as you can pull out a group of people, you can immediately change your identity." , I have become a master. This is not the end, I will still be a hero in the future, hahahaha, this has not happened in hundreds of years!"

"Then, Brother Zhang, you are also a benevolent person who wants to save the nation!"

"Hey, brother, don't put a high hat on me! As the saying goes, save yourself first before saving others! I'd better figure it out for myself first! After all, life in this world is nothing more than two words - promotion! Get rich!"

Jiang Xiaodao nodded silently.

He naturally agreed with Zhang Zongchang's words, but when he thought of such a group of people among those party members who talked about how to save the country all day long, he no longer had any awe in his heart.

It turns out that saving the nation and trying to survive is just a slogan, and all he pretends to be is business knowledge.

Just like the "ten don't rob" of the thieves in the forest, they just say one thing and do another.

In the past, the bandits who killed many people, the hooligans who bullied the market, and the bureaucrats who preyed on fellow villagers, as long as they sided with the party members and shouted against the Qing Dynasty, they would suddenly transform into heroes and consider themselves heroes - what kind of world is this?
"Brother Zhang, how many troops do you have on hand now?"

"Brother, to tell you the truth, there will be hundreds of generals." Zhang Zongchang said proudly, "However, there are many people and I dare not bring them all into the city. I just happened to come from Vladivostok and passed by Fengtian to rest for a while. , I’m leaving in two days.”

"Water or train?" Jiang Xiaodao asked.

"I haven't decided yet, let's see which way is more convenient."

Jiang Xiaodao was silent for a while, then said: "Brother Zhang, if you only want to get promoted and make a fortune, you might as well stay in Fengtian. To tell you the truth, I have something to do with Zhang Laogao. You have someone who can speak Russian. If you want to join him, , I can help you make an introduction."

Zhang Zongchang's eyes lit up: "Hey! Brother, no wonder you can get away with it. I dare you to rely on this mountain!"

"How about it? Why don't you stay? We can still be together and have company!"

Zhang Zongchang was indeed moved, but he was a little embarrassed: "Brother Jiang, I'm not refuting your face. It's just that when I came back from the north, someone had already helped me establish a relationship with Governor Hu. It would be against my will to go back on my word." What a favor!”

"Well, in that case, I won't force you to stay." Jiang Xiaodao couldn't hide his disappointment, "However, I'll leave my words here. No matter when, and whether you are doing well or not, as long as you are useful, When it comes to my brother, you can just talk."

"Brother, please be happy, I have written this down!"

Zhang Zongchang picked up the wine glass, took a swig, and said: "But, brother, I really don't understand something. Since you know such a capable person as Zhang Laogao, why don't you go to him and seek an official position?" In this world from now on, whoever has the soldiers will definitely have the final say."

Jiang Xiaodao sighed and said: "Brother Zhang, my roots are here. Soldiering and fighting may not be suitable for me. Moreover, my current business has just begun. Although Zhang Laoge did not say it explicitly, I also hope that I stay in Jianghu."

"Oh? How do you say that?"

Jiang Xiaodao was not stupid. Long before the Fengtian massacre, he had met with Zhang Laoda.

Zhang Laogao was eating meat and Jiang Xiaodao was drinking soup.

As a new upstart in Fengtian, Zhang Laogeda urgently needs to grasp the big and small rumors in Fengtian and proposes to let Jiang Xiaodao act as his eyeliner in the world.

These words seemed important, but in fact they were also a big mountain, directly crushing Jiang Xiaodao.

The implication is that Jiang Xiaodao's sky is just like the soles of Zhang Laogao's feet. If he soared, how could he be an eyeliner in the world of business?

Zhang Zongchang understood the meaning of the words, immediately smiled and said with relief: "Brother, you don't have to be discouraged. The world is big, not just the market. With this backing, you will inevitably have to deal with all kinds of soldiers and horses in the future. At this time, the future is bright!”

"Then I'll borrow Brother Zhang's good words!" Jiang Xiaodao laughed twice and raised his wine glass, "Here, let's do it! I wish both of us a prosperous career in the future!"

Zhang Zongchang also laughed wildly: "That's right! From now on, we brothers, I will lead the troops, you will make money, and we will sweep across North China together! No, not only sweep across North China, but we will also go all the way to Jiangzuo, to go to that ten-mile foreign land. Scenery!”

"it is good!"
