Jagged Warlord

Lei Zhenchun returned to the Gyeonggi Military and Political Law Enforcement Office, and immediately arranged for his men to go south to Xuzhou to monitor Zhang Xun.

It is said that Zhang Xun is also paying attention to the world situation all the time. The Japanese 21 incident has been disclosed, and Zhang Xun knows that something is wrong. At this juncture, he is under the protection of the Japanese.

Zhang Xun hurriedly called for Chief of Staff Wan Shengzhi, and said, "Hurry up and find that Nobuo Tian, ​​and tell him to quickly disband the Japanese overseas Chinese volunteer team, and remove the barricades on the street."

Wan Shengxie hurriedly said, "Commander, I'm afraid it's too late."

Zhang Xun stared and asked, "What's going on?"

Wan Shengji said: "I heard from some Japanese at noon that Nobuo Tian sent a telegram to the Japanese commander in Qingdao, saying that a group of Japanese soldiers was heading south to Xuzhou by train from Jinan."

"What? The Japanese increased their troops? Damn it, it's fake to help me, but it's true to steal my territory!" Zhang Xun scolded

"What should I do?" Wan Shengxie asked

"We can't stop it anymore. The person who needs to tie the bell to untie it." Zhang Xun walked around the room with his hands behind his back, and said, "It takes about a day from Jinan to Xuzhou. In this way, you Go ask Tian Nobuo, I'll buy him a drink."

"Yes." Wan Shengxie quickly agreed.

Unexpectedly, after Tian Xinfu came, he ate meat in large chunks, drank in large bowls, and even touched Zhang Xun's concubine Wang Keqin.Zhang Xun suppressed his anger and asked, "Mr. Tian, ​​I have the ability to protect myself, and I don't need your Excellency to ask for help from Jinan."

Tian Xinfu smiled and replied: "Mr. Zhang, that is an order from the Qingdao Defense Command. What can I do? Where can I mobilize the army?"

"Then why did the Japanese troops from Qingdao go south to Xuzhou?" Zhang Xun asked again

Tian Nobuo replied: "I heard that it is to protect the Japanese nationals in Xuzhou."

Zhang Xun's lungs were about to explode, the Japanese in Xuzhou were like kittens and puppies, and they were all ronin that Nobuo Tian got from somewhere.From Zhang Xun's point of view, these ronin are similar to his own soldiers. They may not be good at fighting, but they are not proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.

It's really easy to ask God to send God away, Zhang Xun thought to himself, Li Mohan's SS army can't beat him by himself, and the Japanese can't afford to offend him even more. Occupying Xuzhou right now is like holding a hot potato.Therefore, Zhang Xun secretly began to pave the way, secretly began to pack up the gold and silver, took his family and fled to Shanghai overnight, and then took a detour by boat to the Tianjin Concession to work as an apartment.

However, before Zhang Xun left, he ordered his troops to destroy the Hanzhuang section of the Jinpu Railway north of Xuzhou, making it impossible for the Japanese army to use the railway to transport troops quickly.Later, when I saw the SS sent troops to capture Xuzhou, I knew that I had lost the upper hand, so I could only return in embarrassment.

But as soon as Zhang Xun left, the braided army suddenly fell into chaos. Xiao Wenlong received a secret report from the secret agent lurking in Xuzhou city, and immediately sent troops to capture Xuzhou overnight. At the same time, Ma Qianan also marched into Yanzhou overnight.All the braided army collapsed without a fight, only Zhang Wensheng retreated to Haizhou with a part of the braided army's remnants, and joined the Baibaoshan Department of the braided army stationed there.However, Zhang Wensheng retreated in such a hurry that his wife, children, and children all became captives of the SS.

Early the next morning, Xiao Wenlong led a large army into Xuzhou City.Teams of soldiers wearing red armbands of "Law Enforcement" quickly moved into action, using merciless and high-handed means to clear out the remnants of the braided army and the scoundrels who took advantage of the fire in the city.

On the third day, Li Mohan entered the city surrounded by a large group of people.Xiao Wenlong sent someone to report that he had arrested Zhang Wensheng's family in the government office, waiting for Li Mohan's fate.

Li Mohan thought for a while and said, "I'll tell you, Officer Xiao, that this matter has nothing to do with Zhang Wensheng's wife and children. First put Zhang Wensheng's family under house arrest and take good care of them. No one is allowed to harass them without my order."

"Yes."

As soon as he heard that Li Mohan had called back, Zhang Xiangchen, the chairman of the Xuzhou Chamber of Commerce, hurriedly led a group of business gentry to reward the army.

When Li Mohan saw Zhang Xiangchen, he was not stingy with his compliments, saying: "Chairman Zhang has been determined to serve the country with industry for many years, and he is also the leader of Xu Hai's business community. The president is very envious. In the future, I hope to get the assistance of President Zhang, and together we can benefit the people of Xuzhou and the people of China." After that, Li Mohan said a lot of words about protecting the environment and people, and revitalizing the country, which provoked Those present continued to applaud and cheer.

Zhang Xiangchen said with a smile: "The Xuzhou business gentry have already set up a banquet at Liuweizhai to clean up the dust for the general."

It was still the same old way, but Li Mohan also accepted it frankly. After arranging the city defense matters, Li Mohan packed lightly and came to Liuweizhai for the banquet.

Since it was organized by Zhang Xiangchen, the chairman of the chamber of commerce, most of the guests who came to accompany them were the top figures in Xuzhou's business circle, so the topic naturally focused on industry and commerce.

Li Mohan still said the same way, announcing that he will implement the policy of [-] rent reduction and land exchange for industrial shares in Xuzhou and Yanzhou.Xuzhou is on the border with Shangqiu, so they know exactly what happened in Shangqiu, what kind of people get rich and what kind of people lose their heads, Zhang Xiangchen and his gang have long been aware of it.

So the crowd cheered again.

"Come, come, drink, drink~!" Li Mohan raised his glass, "I toast everyone."

By the time the banquet was over, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.When Li Mohan came downstairs, Ma Bian immediately brought the horse. "Accompany me to the barracks." Li Mohan got on his horse.

The light-off signal had already been blown in the barracks, and except for the sentinels standing guard, most of the officers and soldiers had fallen asleep.

Li Mohanying pushed open the door of a barracks, and about 20 soldiers fell asleep on the Datong bunk.Li Mohan reached out lightly to try the thickness of the straw on Xuan's plank.Suddenly a soldier woke up in a daze, and he saw a person in a daze.Familiar military uniform and handsome face!

The little soldier wanted to stand up and salute, but Li Mohan made a silent movement ~ "Shh~", and then, Li Mohan kicked off the quilts for those soldiers who were not sleeping well, tucked the quilts one by one, and then lightly The foot stepped back.

The soldier stared blankly at what Li Mohan was doing, and after Li Mohan left, he quickly lay down and covered his head with the quilt, feeling as if his chest was blocked by air, and his blood wanted to gush out!

Early the next morning, Li Mohan had just woken up and was about to have breakfast, when Ma Bian came to report that He Feng brought a person outside the door to ask for an audience. "Send him to the little dining room."

"Yes!"

Li Mohan came to the small dining room first, and the cook had already prepared breakfast.According to Li Mohan's request, the breakfast menu consisted of multigrain porridge, boiled eggs, a plate of pickles and cornmeal steamed buns.

After a while, He Feng came, and he saluted Li Mohan first, "Report, I want to introduce someone to the general. Although he is from the braided army, I know him well, and he is a tough guy who dares to fight."

Li Mohan asked with a smile: "Who?"

He Feng shouted outside the door: "Wang Shihu, why don't you come to see Lu Zuo soon?"

Wang Shihu walked in from the door in embarrassment, saluted Li Mohan, moved his lips twice, but still didn't speak.

Li Mohan smiled, and said to the cook: "Add two sets of bowls and chopsticks~" Then He Feng and Wang Shihu pulled out two chairs, "I came early in the morning, haven't I had breakfast yet? Why don't you hate it~ Let's eat together? "

He Fengsong was overwhelmed with flattery, and Wang Shihu's expression was a little surprised, the two of them shy away from sitting down.

Li Mohan said: "What are you trying to do? Do you want me to issue a military order? That's good~ everyone has it, stand at attention, take a break, stand at attention, take your seat~ Sit down." He Feng and Wang Shihu followed Li Mohan's command to stand at attention and take a rest. Then they sat down on the chairs in front of them.

"Come on, let's drink the hot porridge to warm up first." Li Mohan personally filled the porridge for the two of them and pushed it in front of them.Then, Li Mohan asked He Feng unhurriedly, "He Feng, this is Wang Shihu who beat us in Yucheng, right?"

He Feng's expression changed, and Wang Shihu became embarrassed again.

Li Mohan laughed and said: "Shihu, don't be embarrassed, He Feng has praised you in front of me a lot."

Wang Shihu looked at He Feng in surprise, and then at Li Mohan. After a while, he sighed, "Hey~ I, Wang Shihu, are also loyal to Zhang Wensheng. After a defeat, he almost died. Shoot me, beat me in front of everyone, let me lose face. Compared with Li Shuai, you have a big heart, how can Zhang Wensheng be undefeated?"

Li Mohan smiled, but didn't speak

Wang Shihu continued: "In the braided army, the officials only think about deducting military pay, smoking opium, and marrying concubines. The soldiers are all idlers, selling guns and ammunition for personal gain. This braided army is rotten to the root. I am There is no more nostalgia, if Li Shuai does not give up, I, Wang Shihu, am willing to be your horse and lead the horse."

Li Mohan said: "You Wang Huo can serve me, I wish for it. But you are a surrender after all. If I were to be a battalion commander for you from the beginning, I am afraid that people will not be convinced. This will wrong you. First, the company commander Get started."

Wang Shihu said: "When I, Wang Shihu, meet the Lord of Ming Dynasty, I don't care about the size of my official position."

"Hahaha~ good!" Li Mohan laughed and said, "I don't believe that I, Li Mohan, can only be a brigade commander for the rest of my life. In the future, I will be promoted and get rich, and you will follow suit."
