"After conscription, Yang Wei now has more than [-] troops under his command, the military governor, this man must be guarded against!"

The person who was furious in Qi Xieyuan's office was Zhao Jinzhong.

After Liao Huaji was detained by Yang Wei, Zhao Jinzhong has been following Yang Wei's every move in Hangzhou.Liao Huaji provoked Qi Xieyuan into a rage because of the empty military salary and false report of military supplies. Even though the detained Liao Huaji was the commander of his provincial defense brigade, Qi Xieyuan didn't care about it.Although the Japanese promised Zhao Jinzhong to find a way to exchange Liao Huaji from Yang Wei's hands, but there is no news at all until now, which made Zhao Jinzhong start to doubt the Japanese intentions.

Now that things have happened, Zhao Jinzhong knows that he can only bring down Yang Wei by himself, since he refuses to submit to his command, sooner or later he will confront him as an enemy.

Zhao Jinzhong wanted to find something out of Yang Wei, but it doesn't matter if he doesn't investigate. After sending people to investigate, Zhao Jinzhong actually found out that Yang Wei was recruiting troops in Hangzhou with great fanfare, and because of Yang Wei's previous actions, he won the hearts of the people, and he fled from the famine in the northeast and northwest There are many people in the south of the Yangtze River, and the number of people joining the army this time is quite large.Blood Quenching Mountains and Rivers 107

Zhao Jinzhong hurriedly came to tell Qi Xieyuan the news, and only waited for Qi Xieyuan to send troops to pay the rebel Yang Wei.

Qi Xieyuan, who was reviewing the official document, raised his head and widened his eyes after listening, and said, "Say it again, how many troops does he have under his command?"

Zhao Jinzhong danced and gestured: "2000 people! Superintendent, Yang Wei must have other intentions to recruit troops without authorization. It is really not good for the superintendent to keep such a dangerous guy by his side."

Qi Xieyuan grew his mouth and pondered for a long time. There are 2000 troops, and the strength in his hands is only the second division and one brigade.At the beginning, I just wanted Yang Wei to be a staff officer. It was Zhao Jinzhong who forced him to be a regimental commander. But now, in just a few months, Yang Wei has two brigades in his hands. If the speed continues to develop, it will soon be able to dominate one side.

It's not that Qi Xieyuan doesn't understand what Zhao Jinzhong means, even if Zhao Jinzhong doesn't say anything, Qi Xieyuan can still feel that Yang Wei's plan is wrong, but the key problem is that he doesn't know what Yang Wei's plan is now.And now the situation is chaotic, the Northern Expeditionary Army has divided into three groups and sent troops from Guangdong to the Northern Expedition. As far as ensuring the safety of the flanks in the main attack direction, it has already revealed its intention to attack Sun Chuanfang's troops in Jiangxi; the east road has come to Fujian and Zhejiang.

The Northern Expeditionary Army was so powerful that it was impossible not to fight this battle.However, the strength of the Northern Expeditionary Army has been recognized by many great powers. Everyone knows that the Northern Expeditionary Army is a new type of army composed of Huangpu elites. There is strong support from the British, but he is a guy who collects money and does not work hard. If Jiangxi is breached, then Qi Xieyuan is not far away from facing the battle.

Under such circumstances, Qi Xieyuan was too weak to do his own thing, and it was impossible to send troops to pacify Yang Wei, who had two brigades of troops. Otherwise, Qi Xieyuan would have trouble himself before the Northern Expeditionary Army came.

Qi Xieyuan felt overwhelmed and immediately called Bai Lu back.Zhao Jinzhong on the side was still nagging, and Qi Xieyuan felt a headache, and shouted angrily: "If you hadn't lured wolves into the house, such things would have happened? If Liao Hua had run out of military supplies, if you hadn't If you are aware of it, it will not be like this!"

Zhao Jinzhong was scolded bloody, and when he saw Qi Xieyuan was furious, he might have vented his anger on himself, and hurriedly retreated in despair.

Qi Xieyuan sat alone at the table and thought about it for a long time. Yang Wei was able to assemble two brigades of troops without using a penny of his military salary. Such ability and ability should not be underestimated. To rebel, he only said that it would be a pity for Qi Xieyuan to give up such a talent.

Although Qi Xieyuan, who is a military governor, also has a second division and a brigade, but if compared with Yang Wei, there are not many decent officers, but he doesn't know how strong Yang Wei is, and what about weapons.

Besides, on Bailu's side, she suddenly received an order from Qi Xieyuan, and Bailu was very curious. She didn't know why Qi Xieyuan was in such a panic, so Bailu had to rush to Nanjing without stopping. Qi Xieyuan's military governor's mansion.

As soon as he opened the door, before Bai Lu could catch his breath, Qi Xieyuan asked eagerly: "I sent you to investigate Yang Wei's affairs, why there is no news for so long?"

Although it is only an adopted daughter, Qi Xieyuan usually treats Bai "Lu" no differently from his own children. It is the first time that he speaks to Bai "Lu" so harshly, which makes Bai "Lu" very surprised.However, Bailu did have self-blame. The task assigned by Qi Xieyuan could be completed satisfactorily within a week at most, but this time because of Qiao Zhonghe's incident, she got mixed up with Yang Wei for no reason. Bailu felt very guilty.

Bailu told the truth about her investigation results: "Yang Wei was very conscientious in the military training outside Hangzhou. Apart from dealing with Hangzhou affairs, he rarely communicated with outsiders. He only found a German businessman who was also a The trading relationship of buying and selling weapons has not found that he has colluded with other forces, so there should be no dissent."

Qi Xieyuan shook his head and sighed repeatedly: "What I want is an accurate result, not what you should say!"

Bai Lu didn't know how to answer these words, so she lowered her head and fell silent.

Qi Xieyuan sighed, people's hearts are the most elusive thing, they are changing every moment, it is a bit too harsh for him to ask Bailu like this, he said to Bailu earnestly: "Yang Wei conscripted again I think you've heard about it, if we still don't understand his intentions, maybe one day he will suddenly turn his back on him, and we will be the ones who suffer."

Bailu pursed her lips and remained silent. To be honest, she had dealt with Yang Wei not once or twice. Based on her understanding of Yang Wei, she should not be the kind of person Qi Xieyuan said. This point can be seen from his handling of Qiao Zhonghe. It can be seen that he couldn't help defending Yang Wei: "Zhao Jinzhong is probably exaggerating, father don't have to be so nervous."

Qi Xieyuan stared and said: "If it wasn't like this, why did he expand the army privately?"

Bailu knew very well that Qi Xieyuan's character was very cautious, even a little suspicious, she frowned slightly, and said sincerely: "The current situation is tense, and military expansion is a matter of course."

Regarding the human heart, sometimes I don’t even understand it myself, let alone other people. Qi Xieyuan knew that there was no point in arguing like this, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, let’s not discuss what Yang Wei is thinking for now." , No matter how much you say, it's just a guess, and you can't dig out his heart to see. If he is wrong, there will be a wrong way to deal with it, but I have a better way."

Bai Lu tilted her head and looked at Qi Xieyuan suspiciously: "A better way?"

Qi Xieyuan thought of this method from the moment he saw Bailu. In his opinion, this method is the most foolproof. He couldn't help but smile mysteriously: "Yes, I have a way to make him Obey us honestly."

Looking at Qi Xieyuan's expression, Bailu suddenly felt a little dangerous, and asked cautiously in a low voice, "What trick did father think of?"

Qi Xieyuan looked at Bailu solemnly, and paused every word: "This clever plan is you."
