Jagged Warlord

In Yanzhou, in the headquarters of the Volunteer Army, the commander and brigade commander Xiao Wenlong was receiving a Japanese officer who came to Yanzhou with a letter of protest written by Goro Jingfasi. "Xiao Sang, I am High Quality Satoyama, Major of the Qingdao Garrison Army of the Imperial Japanese Army. On behalf of the Qingdao Garrison Command of the Imperial Japanese Army, I formally lodge a protest with your Ministry."

Xiao Wenlong is wearing a dark green military uniform without any military rank marks on it, only a piece of cloth embroidered on the right chest, with black Song typeface printed on the cloth - Central Plains Volunteer Army. "Major Hatoyama, please sit down." Xiao Wenlong pointed to the chair, "I don't know if you want to protest to me from above?"

Hatoyama Gaozhi handed over the protest letter with both hands, saying: "Lieutenant General Kamio Mitsuomi, Commander of the Qingdao Garrison of the Empire of Japan, demands that your Ministry immediately stop its hostile actions against the Empire of Japan, retract its hostile remarks against the Empire of Japan, and immediately disband .”

"What's the reason?" Xiao Wenlong took the letter without reading it, and just put it on the desk.

Hatoyama Gaozhimianlou looked dissatisfied, and said word by word: "The Empire of Japan attacked Qingdao to attack Germany, not to be an enemy of China. It was not to occupy Qingdao, but to use it at the end of the European War. Qingdao was handed over to China. my country has already notified your country’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs on this point, and it has also been recognized by your country’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Why do you still organize an army and threaten to attack the army of the Japanese Empire? These are destroying neutrality and provoking Japan Hostilities of the Empire."

Xiao Wenlong replied: "Qingdao was leased to Germany by China, and the sovereignty belongs to China. China wants to take it back, and it is not allowed to give it to others. Since your country said that the occupation of Qingdao is to return it to China, why has it not withdrawn its troops for so long? Instead, it has repeatedly increased its troops. Shandong?"

Hatoyama Gaozhi replied: "This point, our country's Minister Mr. Hiki Masaru has already said that the gains and losses of Qingdao are not enough to affect the outcome of the entire war. It is difficult to guarantee that the Germans will not make a comeback in the future. In view of your country's weakness National defense forces, the Empire of Japan is only temporarily helping you manage Qingdao."

Xiao Wenlong said: "Qingdao is Chinese territory, and the Chinese are capable of managing it well, so you Japanese don't need to worry about it."

Hatoyama Gaozhi grinned grimly and said, "Xiao Sang, you are too confident. As the most powerful country in East Asia, our Great Japanese Empire should play the important role of leading the yellow people to resist the rule of the white people in Europe. If your country is far behind the European countries in terms of national power, Many people are also cowardly because of their love of opium, and they are looked down upon by the international community. Japan and China, as neighbors who have been friendly for generations, should support the backward, and our country will take care of it, which shows the sincerity and sense of responsibility of our government !"

Xiao Wenlong smiled and said, "I know what it means to be brazen and ignorant, and what it means to be unreasonable. However, please go back and tell your Commander Kamio Mitsuomi that once our volunteer army goes out, we will promise not to pay back until blood is shed."

"Hahaha." Hatoyama laughed high-quality, and said: "It's a good sentence, 'If blood is not shed, I will not pay it back', then let the bayonets of our Great Japanese Empire drink it."

"Hmph." Xiao Wenlong snorted coldly, and replied, "Our bayonets are too hungry."

"Then let's meet on the battlefield." Hatoyama Gaozhi bowed slightly, and then left without looking back.

"No." Xiao Wenlong stood still

Xiao Wenlong's adjutant, Yang Hongjie, said angrily, "Little Japan is too crazy."

Xiao Wenlong said coldly: "Our country is strong, so of course we can be tyrannical. Who says we are a weak country?"

"Avenge this arrow sooner or later." Yang Hongjie gave Hatoyama who was going away a hard look.

"Don't stare." Xiao Wenlong straightened his collar and said, "Let's go and see if everything is in place."

"Yes."

……Dividing line……

In Xuzhou's Yangtze River Patrol Office, a woman with disheveled hair was sitting in front of the hall crying, "Marshal Li, you have to decide for us~!" This person is none other than Zhang Wensheng's original wife.

"Marshal Li, you have to make the decision for me~" Mrs. Zhang described as haggard, with a sloppy body and a ball of snot and tears on her face.

It turned out that since Li Mohan captured Xuzhou, Zhang Wensheng became a helpless and lonely army, and took a small number of remnants to seek refuge with his old comrade Baibaoshan.From the very beginning, Bai Baoshan took in Zhang Wensheng when he was in the same robe.The braided army under Baibaoshan also has as many as 18 battalions, thousands of people.Zhang Xun was able to support so many soldiers before, largely by saving the income of the Jinpu Railway.But after Zhang Xun's failure, although Baibaoshan was placed under the control of Feng Guozhang, the governor of Jiangsu, it was not a direct line after all, and the military pay and food were all raised by themselves.Haizhou is not a rich place, and Baibaoshan often worries about military pay.

Later, Li Mohan not only returned Zhang Wensheng's family, but also generously donated hundreds of thousands of oceans, which made Bai Baoshan, who was born a bandit, feel itchy.Finally, Baibaoshan couldn't hold back, and Zhang Wensheng was annexed, and Zhang Wensheng died in the chaos.

After listening to Mrs. Zhang's story, Li Mohan was confused. If he thought about it carefully, he was actually the culprit who killed Zhang Wensheng.If he hadn't taken Xuzhou by himself, Zhang Wensheng wouldn't have gone to Haizhou in trouble, and if he hadn't given Zhang Wensheng a huge sum of money, Zhang Wensheng wouldn't have committed the crime.But why did Mrs. Zhang come to ask her for help?What kind of thing is this?

Liu Musheng and Duan Qingxi also didn't turn the corner for a while, but they didn't intend to think about the reason, but just put forward their own suggestions.

Duan Qingxi said: "This is God sending Haizhou to the commander in chief."

"That's what I said, but~!" Why didn't Li Mohan want to include Haizhou in his pocket, so that he would have the seaport he had dreamed of. "But the teacher is born without a name~!"

"Master!" Liu Musheng clapped open his folding fan, smiled slyly, and said, "No, it's the best honor for Mrs. Zhang to come to ask for help. This is one of them; Calling each other brothers, this is the second; Zhang Wensheng left behind a son named Zhang Wenwu, the commander just took the opportunity to adopt him as his adopted son, and sent troops in the name of revenge for his adopted brother, this is the third."

Li Mohan raised his eyebrows, thinking that this old guy was exactly what he thought, and it coincided with him. "It's not good to take advantage of people's danger like this!" Li Mohan said hypocritically

Duan Qingxi was really there, and said with a smile: "Does the commander really think so?"

Seeing that Duan Qingxi saw through his hypocrisy, Li Mohan also smiled and said: "Mr. Duan, I really can't hide anything from you."

Now that he had made up his mind, Li Mohan started to act.First of all, he ordered officers at all levels to return to their stations immediately, especially the troops stationed in several counties in southern Xuzhou, and they must be vigilant.At the same time, Wang Shihu, Han Yue, Jiang Haoran and other ministries were ordered to gather eastward.

After the military arrangements were made, Li Mohan held a funeral for Zhang Wensheng in Xuzhou, with great fanfare and extravagance.Li Mohan couldn't help but look down, he put on sackcloth and filial piety, and cried three times at every step, "Brother Wenzheng~ You just left like this, God is jealous of talents~!"

Some people who didn't know what was going on began to discuss, "Didn't Marshal Li take over Marshal Zhang's territory? They should be enemies. Why is Marshal Li crying so sadly at the funeral of Marshal Zhang?"

"What do you know~ This is called heroes cherishing heroes. Didn't Guan Yunchang and Guan Erye also flooded the Seventh Army to beat Cao Cao back then? After Guan Yunchang died, Cao Cao was also very sad?"

"Then do you think this Marshal Li is Cao Cao or Guan Yunchang?"

"It's hard to say~ But I took Dashuai Zhang's family from him, not only did not harm him, but also returned it to Dashuai Zhang. This is the style of the ancients. It should be regarded as Guan Yunchang!"

In the mourning hall, Li Mohan cried loudly again, and recited the eulogy in a choked voice: Woohoo Wenzheng, unfortunately died young!Wouldn't people be hurt if we shortened the old world?My heart is really hurting, so I drink a glass of wine; you have a spirit, let me taste it!If you hang on to the king, you will not be confused; if you hang on to the richness of the king, you will be a good wife;Suspend the king Poyang, hang the king to promote talents, and plan civil and military strategies; attack the enemy with fire, and turn the strong into the weak.Thinking of the king in those days, he was majestic and heroic; crying for the early death of the king, bleeding on the ground.The heart of loyalty, the spirit of a heroic spirit; the end of three periods of life, the name will last forever, the sorrow of the king is deep, and the heart is full of sorrow; but my heart and gall, the sorrow is endless.Haotian is dim, and the three armies are mournful; the Lord is mourning; friends are tears.Woohoo Wenzheng!Farewell!Pu Shouqi is chaste, the darkness is extinguished, the soul is like a spirit, to learn from my heart: From now on, there will be no bosom friend in the world!Oh, it hurts!Fu Wei is still feasting.

After a tearful mourning, Mrs. Zhang brought up Zhang Wenwu, Zhang Wensheng's son, pointed to Li Mohan and said, "Wenwu, this is your adoptive father, Li Mohan, Marshal Li. Kowtow to him quickly, and beg him to send troops to avenge your father." .”

Zhang Wenwu was also unambiguous, he knelt down with a plop, and was about to kowtow to Li Mohan.Li Mohan hurriedly helped Zhang Wenwu up, and seeing the boy's thick head and brain, he asked, "Wenwu, how old is this year?"

Zhang Wenwu replied, "Fourteen."

Li Mohan said: "Your father and I are brothers and sisters, and it is only natural for me as a younger brother to avenge my elder brother." After speaking, Li Mohan pulled out a pistol from his waist, handed it to Zhang Wenwu, and said, "You are still young. Leave the matter of revenge to our adults. You have to study hard and achieve great things in the future, so that you can give your Zhang family a glorious lintel and not fall into your father's prestige."

"Hmm~!" Zhang Wenwu took the gun and nodded seriously
