Lin Yuan was stunned when he heard her rejection, and asked hesitantly after a while, "Why?"

Shen Wanqing said coquettishly: "You didn't prepare anything, you just want me to marry you with one word, why! I won't do it!"

Only then did Lin Yuan let go of his heart, and said softly, "Okay, I promise you, I will definitely give you a perfect marriage proposal!"

Shen Wanqing came out of Lin Yuan's arms, put on her clothes and said with a smile, "Let's go out, there are still many things to do."

Lin Yuan said: "That's right, I still have a lot of things to ask Jiang Huayong, such as why Long Tengfei raised troops with them? Why did Long Tengfei's troops attack them? How is the situation in Gansu now? I think about all these things." I know, but ever since I met Jiang Huayong, things have happened one after another without interruption at all, and I don't have time to ask."

The two went out while talking, and saw General Sun and Jiang Huayong tied up the deputy leader and took him out of the tent. General Sun said apologetically, "Commander Lin, I'm really sorry!" Said: "I have already tied this beast for you, you can kill or cut it as you like."

Lin Yuan looked at Shen Wanqing and asked, "What do you plan to do with him?"

Shen Wanqing smiled and said: "Let him go, let him pay attention in the future." The deputy leader thanked him again and again, and Lin Yuan said to Jiang Huayong: "Master Jiang, I have a lot to ask about the situation in Gansu. Can you answer it for me?"

Jiang Huayong repeatedly agreed, and Lin Yuan asked General Sun to take Shen Wanqing to rest. He and Jiang Huayong walked into the camp. Jiang Huayong asked, "Shuai Lin, what's your question? Excuse me."

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "I want to ask too many questions, so I might as well ask according to the time when these things happened." So Lin Yuan said: "The first thing I want to ask is: Why did Long Tengfei join the trouble with you? "

Jiang Huayong sighed softly, and said, "Is what you want to ask related to Long Tengfei?"

Lin Yuan nodded, and Jiang Huayong said: "Then I will tell you about this matter from beginning to end. You have surrendered my subordinates, and you must know about Zhong Xinmin and me."

Lin Yuan replied: "That's right, you can only talk about things related to Long Tengfei."

Jiang Huayong said: "In the beginning, Zhong Xinmin and I discussed the remonstrance, and Long Tengfei was the most fearful person, because Long Tengfei was a man with great achievements and great ambitions. When we sent troops, he half-jokingly said: 'This time there are only three The number of rebels in this county is too small, and the credit will not be great! It would be great if this time they rebelled like the Mao bandits more than 30 years ago, and they would be able to make a lot of contributions!' So we are all worried that if there is an uprising , he will treat us all as gangsters!"

Lin Yuan asked curiously: "Long Tengfei only has one of your two troops, why are you afraid?"

Jiang Huayong replied: "First of all, the combat capability of Long Tengfei's troops is higher than that of our two troops. Secondly, the combat location is their territory. Our troops are stationed in Fengxiang, Shaanxi, and Zhong Xinyuan's troops are stationed in Guyuan Prefecture, Shaanxi. Long Tengfei's troops are stationed in Tianshui, Gansu, and for this battle, supplies from Shaanxi must pass through Tianshui, and our food bags are all in their hands, how can we not be afraid?"

Lin Yuan nodded, and Jiang Huayong continued: "There is a more critical point. Long Tengfei's troops are the best equipped among our three troops. Have you heard of Lin Shuai, the Lanzhou Machinery Bureau established by Mr. Zuo Zongtang?"

Lin Yuan said, "Of course!"

Jiang Huayong said: "Although the Lanzhou Machinery Bureau is not comparable to the Tianjin Machinery Bureau and the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, it can still produce a lot of bullets and guns. Tianshui is closer to Lanzhou than us, and Long Tengfei is close to the water tower. Less weapons, that's why we fear him!"

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "So that's the case!"

Jiang Huayong said: "Then I will continue. After I finished discussing with Zhong Xinmin, he took the initiative to talk to us about the incident. He said something righteous, so he joined us in the incident. Who knows what is behind this?" There is a big conspiracy!"

Lin Yuan hurriedly asked: "Big conspiracy? What big conspiracy?"

Jiang Huayong replied: "That was after we took down Lanzhou, Long Tengfei called us to a meeting, saying that now that Lanzhou has been taken down, the Qing government will definitely send heavy troops to come. Looking at the troops of the Qing Dynasty today, only elite soldiers can be counted. There are three teams, one is the Green Battalion trained by Zhang Zhidong, governor of Huguang, with a new method, but Hunan is a thousand miles away from Gansu, and there are Qinling Mountains, Daba Mountains, and Wuling Mountains in between, and Zhang Zhidong's soldiers can't get through. Come on, so there is nothing to worry about, the real threat is the remaining two."

"One is Yuan Shikai's new army, and the other is Lin Yuan's army. Let's not talk about Yuan Shikai's army. Let's just talk about Lin Yuan's army. They regained the northeast, blitzed Kulun, and went on an expedition to Russia. What kind of Japanese island is occupied! How can we stop such an army? Moreover, Lin Yuan’s troops can rush from the northeast to Gansu in less than five days through the construction of the Jingyun Railway and Xilan Railway!"

"Long Tengfei turned around and said: In order to protect himself, the three troops need to be in a unified command! I understood when Long Tengfei said this. He wanted to monopolize the command power, but he was embarrassed to say it directly, but said that he was better than us. Older, so this command should be handed over to him! Of course Zhong Xinyuan and I don’t want to, so the meeting broke up unhappy, and then we heard: Long Tengfei has great ambitions, and he wants to be the king of the Northwest!”

Lin Yuan asked in surprise: "Northwest King? He only occupies a place in Lanzhou, so he wants to be called the Northwest King?"

Jiang Huayong sighed: "Long Tengfei's ambition doesn't stop there. Isn't Xinjiang behind Gansu? He also wants to include Xinjiang!"

Lin Yuan couldn't help laughing, and said, "This Long Tengfei is a ridiculous little snake, and he wants to swallow an elephant! Xinjiang is so big, how could he swallow it!"

Jiang Huayong said: "We are also puzzled! But these are rumors, so we don't believe them too much, but the three of us are already in harmony, and with Long Tengfei controlling the food supply, our army is short of food, and finally there is an army Because of the conflict between the grain and Long Tengfei's troops, the two sides fought violently, and more than a dozen people were killed."

"I had a bad relationship with Long Tengfei, and Zhong Xinyuan didn't get along with him. Zhong Xinyuan didn't discuss with me, and directly led the troops back to Guyuan Prefecture. I didn't have the strength to fight Long Tengfei alone, so I planned to go back to Fengxiang Mansion, so Zhang Dayong and Wang Xiang led the troops of the two battalions back first, but there was no news of these two people after they left."

"Our troops had no choice but to go back to Fengxiang Mansion, but they were intercepted and killed by Long Tengfei on the way. When we were in danger, we met General Sun. His real name was Sun Ji. He was a hero. The common people rebelled on the Shaanxi-Gansu border, burned the county government office, and robbed the granary, but there was still not enough food, so I made up my mind to go to Xi'an and defend myself at the risk of the mountains and rivers in Shaanxi. That is what I told you yesterday what he said."

Lin Yuan thought in his heart: "It turns out that this is the case. The mystery of Long Tengfei was solved, but a bigger mystery came. Long Tengfei dared to call the Northwest King. Northwest has always been a fat in the eyes of the British and Russians. Long Tengfei Did Fei get their secret support?"
