Fengxian Jiangshan

"Mr. Duan, you see that the amount of money seized is huge. I mean, a part of it will be handed over first. The government is also in trouble, so let's pay 200 million first. What do you think?"

After Duan Qirui heard this proposal, he was also stunned for a while. Why is this little bandit leader so easy to talk, and even offered to give him money.Lao Duan is really short of money now, the Beijing and Tianjin areas are in a mess, and there are so many soldiers who need to be appeased, if he can get a little money, it is indeed good, 200 million is not a small amount.

Just when Lao Duan was about to agree, he suddenly woke up, and he still couldn't take the money.Now Duan Qirui is staring at him with countless eyes, once he accepts the money, it will prove that Feng Jun's actions were approved by Duan Qirui, or at least acquiesced.

Facing Feng Jun's group of bandits who can't be boiled and boiled, the Eight Banners gang has nothing to do, but they have a lot of means to face the old Duan. If Duan Qirui takes the money, he will immediately Once the hornet's nest is stabbed, all the anger of the old bureaucracy will be directed at him, and the situation will be even worse.

At this time, Lao Duan looked at Zhang Tinglan's sincere expression again, and his heart became even more distorted. This young man was either pretending to be confused, or he was deliberately setting a trap for himself, trying to drag himself into trouble.

The old Duan weighed it over and over again, and could only say: "The recovered funds are temporarily managed by the Fengjun. After a period of time, the central government will send special personnel to check and decide whether to stay or not."

Duan Qirui knows how rich the nobles of the Eight Banners are, and it is possible to extract hundreds of millions of wealth from them. Of course, the old Duan can't bear to give up. He can only wait for the end of the matter in front of him, and then force Feng Jun to spend some money , appease the Eight Banners, and at the same time reap some benefits for himself, this is already the best way for Duan Qirui at present.

Zhang Tinglan didn't understand his thoughts.However, since the money is in Zhang Tinglan's hands, there is absolutely no reason to take it out, so he said with a smile: "Mr. Duan, the people of Beijing and Tianjin are suffering, and the Fengjun is now helping the victims, and the expenses are all from the stolen money." Out, do you have any objections?"

Zhang Tinglan's meaning is also very clear. If Lao Duan wants to track down the whereabouts of the money in the future, he will say that it is for the disaster victims.Duan Qirui knew it well, but he really didn't know what to say.If you don't agree, you are protecting the Eight Banners children, regardless of the lives of the victims. If you agree, the Eight Banners children and the old bureaucrats will desperately besiege him.The best thing to do right now is to say nothing.

Seeing Zhang Tinglan leaving the Prime Minister's Office with a smile on his face, Lao Duan felt extremely depressed.Good move.The benefits were all taken away by Feng Jun, which is simply deceiving too much.

"Zhi Weng, things are not going well, Feng Jun has completely controlled Rehe, what do you think should be done?"

Xu Shuzheng hurried in and sent the telegram to Duan Qirui.When Lao Duan saw it, he couldn't help gnashing his teeth.When Zhang Xun launched the rebellion, Fengjun dispatched the northern and southern armies, and the northern army was led by Guo Songling.Send troops from Chifeng, and send troops from Chaoyang in Fengtian on the South Road. The goal of both armies is Chengde.

Due to Zhang Xun's rebellion, everyone's energy was concentrated in the Beijing and Tianjin areas. In addition, the Fengjun was a secret operation, and Beiyang did not get a report. When Zhang Xun was almost defeated, the two armies of the Fengjun suddenly appeared outside Chengde .

Those braided soldiers who stayed behind also knew that the situation was not good, so when they saw Fengjun's magical soldiers descending from the sky, they hardly resisted, so they handed Chengde over to Fengjun with both hands. After taking control of Chengde, Fengjun sent a report to the outside world, It is said that Fengjun has successfully occupied the lair of the braided army.

Seeing this news, Lao Duan was of course furious, this is not the lair of attacking the braided army, it is clearly trying to grab credit, it is expanding the territory, and he did not take Duan Qirui seriously at all.

Snapped!There was a crisp cracking sound, and a teacup was smashed to pieces.Old Duan couldn't help scolding: "These gangsters are simply too greedy. The money is not enough, and they want to expand their territory. They are greedy and greedy!"

"Yezheng, we can't bear it any longer. We must take measures. If Fengjun is allowed to develop like this, Beiyang will really be doomed in the future!"

The old section still has some strategic vision. Rehe is close to the front line of the Great Wall, and the closest place to Beijing is only one or two hundred kilometers away. The area around Tianjin was surrounded, and now that the Feng army's combat effectiveness is so strong, it would be too dangerous to launch a sudden attack.

"Zhi Weng, I just got the news that Fengjun secretly sold a large amount of ammunition to Zhang Xun. The bullets, shells, and grenades used by the braided army were all provided by Fengjun. For this reason, they blackmailed Zhang Xun for 1000 million yuan. !"

When the old Duan heard the news, his eyes were red. He pushed all the documents on the desktop to the ground, and he was furious: "Too much bullying! Too much bullying! Fengjun dares to take advantage of both sides, he treats us as a Is it impossible to kill a three-year-old child? We must let them know how powerful they are, otherwise what is the power of the Beiyang Army?"

Old Duan walked around twice with his hands behind his back, and asked again: "You Zheng, is the evidence sufficient?"

"Zhi Weng, this was revealed by Zhang Xun when he fled. He also hated Fengjun's behavior, so he took the initiative to tell us the information. In addition, when we attacked the braided army, we also captured a lot of Fengjun's equipment. They were all produced by Fengtian, and they used Daosheng Bank to transfer money, so they can find corresponding evidence!"

"Yeah!" Old Duan nodded: "These gangsters are really cunning. On the surface, what they say sounds better than anyone else. It's all nonsense, and it's all their high-sounding excuses. Bandits don’t have a single good thing!”

"Zhi Weng, now I wonder if Feng Jun knew about Zhang Xun's actions in advance, otherwise how could they enter the customs so quickly, maybe they entered the customs to provide Zhang Xun with weapons, and cheat us!"

"There is a possibility. We must take advantage of this matter to turn the public opinion around. Fengjun's ugly face is exposed to the world. I see how they still confidently investigate the properties of the Eight Banners. They must be ruined."

Xu Shuzheng saw that the old Duan was completely furious, and he was also very happy. Xiao Xu has long been not slow to Feng Jun, so he can only wish for such a good opportunity.

"Zhi Weng, the Feng army's combat effectiveness is not weak. If you fight a tiger, you must be careful not to be injured by the tiger. You should prepare the army in advance. Once public opinion is created, we will disarm the Feng army in the name of investigation. If you dare to resist, you will be wiped out on the spot!"

After Lao Duan and Xiao Xu finalized the plan, the people in Beiyang acted quickly. According to the plan, they first launched an attack on public opinion. Beiyang gathered all his imperial literati and wrote articles overnight. Running around, contacting the army, very busy.

"Zhuoyan, isn't the atmosphere in Beijing a bit wrong?" Sun Liechen said.

"That's right, the Beiyang Army who were wandering around the streets were all gathered, and there might be some military action."

"Zhuoyan, who do you think they will deal with?"

"Besides us, I'm afraid there is no other family!"

Sun Liechen's expression suddenly changed. Before he could ask carefully, Zhou Xuexi ran over in a panic. The old man was panting and anxious. When he saw Zhang Tinglan, he said directly: "Zhuoyan, you guys are going too far." , how can you earn all kinds of money, now the old Duan has caught the handle!"

"Don't worry, sit down and talk slowly."

"What else are you talking about? Duan Qirui already knows about your sale of weapons to the braided army. He is going to attack both public opinion and the military. First, he will smear you, and then send troops to solve you. Although the Fengjun army is powerful , but Beijing and Tianjin are the territory of Beiyang, and their roots are deep, so don’t ask for trouble, you have also made a lot of money this time, hurry up and withdraw to the pass!"

The Beiyang system was inherited from the Qing Dynasty, and like the Qing court, there was no secrecy at all. Although the old Duan tried his best to hide his actions, people with a heart could still detect the clues. Zhou Xuexi's connections are so deep, and he got the news very quickly.

As soon as he heard that his future son-in-law was in danger, the old man rushed to report the news. He had already boarded the Fengjun chariot, so the Zhou family could not stand by and watch.

"Old Duan has his schemes, and we also have ways to deal with it. Things haven't gotten that bad yet. If we run back outside the customs in desperation, it will be ruined!"

Zhou Xuexi also sat down, staring at Zhang Tinglan: "Zhuoyan, tell me the truth, did you sell weapons to Zhang Xun?"

Zhang Tinglan smiled noncommittally, and Zhou Xuexi immediately understood, and he couldn't help but sigh, although Zhang Tinglan is very mature and experienced in handling things, but after all, he is young and doesn't know the severity. There is no impenetrable wall in this world. take it.

"Zhuoyan, if you want me to say that this is a big deal, but it's not fatal. If you withdraw from the customs, the old duan can't do anything about you. At most, there will be a verbal war. After a while, everything will pass."

"Duke Zhou, I appreciate your kindness, but the matter is really not that bad. Since I dare to do such a thing, I have a way to deal with it."

"Zhuoyan, since that's the case, just tell me quickly, I feel a little uneasy in my heart!" Sun Liechen also interjected.

A confident smile appeared on Zhang Tinglan's face: "The truth of this matter depends on who said it. Some people tell the truth, but no one may believe it. This is a matter of character."

"Zhuoyan, you are being foolish to think this way. Do you think that the newspapers praised you as a role model for young soldiers, and then they will listen to you when you come out to explain any problems? This is a naive idea, and it will definitely not work! "

"Duke Zhou, you misunderstood. It's not that I believe that my reputation is good, but that there is a group of people whose character is extremely bad. No one will believe what they say!"

Speaking of which, Zhang Tinglan wrote a horoscope on the table, and then just laughed and said nothing! (To be continued..)
