Jagged Warlord

"Telegraph soldiers? Come here." Song Shun called two telegraph soldiers and handed them the Japanese cipher book, "Send a report to the combat troops at the Japanese squadron level."

The telegraph soldier sat down in front of the radio station, put on his earphones, and asked, "Staff officer, what are we sending?"

"Uh~" Song Shun took a Japanese military map with the location of the Japanese army and volunteers marked on it. "Well, let the Japanese army lead in the opposite direction."

"Wait a minute~" Song Shun said, "Before that, send a telegram to our Brigadier Xiao. Tell them that our interlude was a success."

"Yes."

As a result, the Japanese army on the front line in Jinan received a series of inexplicable orders. The engineer battalion was transferred to the mountainous area, but the order was to build a bridge; the artillery battalion was ordered to attack a deserted hilly area, which exposed its position , was violently shelled by the volunteer artillery; the cavalry unit worked hard to reach the reinforcement site, but found that it was a muddy swamp, and what was waiting for them was machine gun fire from the volunteer army.The front-line Japanese army found something abnormal, and when they desperately contacted the headquarters of the regiment, they found that the headquarters of the regiment did not reply.

The Japanese army found that the situation was a little abnormal, so the two lieutenants of the first and second brigades combined and retreated to Jinan first.At least the Jinan Railway Station can be kept, and if necessary, it can retreat to the Weixian area to get closer to the brigade headquarters.

As soon as the Japanese army retreated, the volunteer army immediately pressed up.The brigade of the Japanese army is equivalent to the first-level establishment of the Volunteer Army. The Japanese Army only has 2 brigades, while the Volunteer Army has 4 regiments.Ever since, Xiao Wenlong exerted all his strength, and the four regiments pressed up together.The retreat of the Japanese army turned into a defeat, and Jinan city was not entered at all, and they went directly to Weixian along the Jiaoji line.

On March 1915, 3, the vanguard of the Volunteer Army entered the city from Luoyuan Gate in Jinan. The citizens of Jinan who got the news rushed to the streets to welcome the Volunteers.

Ge Yuanxi, who was the first to enter the city, rode a tall horse and looked down at the cheering crowd in a very condescending manner. He pointed to the hot water and steamed buns, and asked his staff with a smile, "This is the one written in the book. Let’s serve rice and water in a jug as a reward, shall we?”

The staff officer smiled and replied: "There are not many food pots, that's what it means."

Ge Yuanxi stroked his chin and said, "Damn, it's a bit like welcoming the master."

In the afternoon of that day, the news that the Volunteer Army had recovered Jinan spread throughout the country with the power of the Volunteer Army and the "Voice of China".

……Dividing line……

The weather in Beijing in March is cool, neither hot nor cold, neither dry nor dry. People at the root of the imperial city are still living leisurely in accordance with the habits developed over hundreds of years and the rhythm of life that has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow.Old Beijing has the habit of drinking morning tea, so the old Yutai teahouse on Qianmen Street is already full of guests early in the morning, and the waiters are graciously refilling the water for tea customers with copper pots.

Old Beijingers like to drink tea with a tureen. First, the tea is served in the tureen, and the tea is usually poured into seven parts. , and then raise it to your mouth for a sip.This is the old Beijing standard for drinking tea with a gaiwan.

The joy of old Beijingers sitting in a teahouse is not only drinking tea, but also the excitement. You can blend in and talk about some unnecessary gossip, or you can go out of the way and sit alone in the hustle and bustle to enjoy the leisure of life. , making leisure more abundant and prominent, this is the true taste of sitting in a teahouse.As for discussing business and affairs in teahouses, those who regard teahouses as unique offices, such as Liu Mazi in "Teahouse", can only be regarded as inferior among tea lovers, although without such tea guests, tea houses would not be tea houses. .

A man in his 45s, about [-] years old, walked in with a birdcage in his hand, wearing an eight-petal melon skin hat, and a long gown and silk gown.Looking at the shelf, it seems to be quite big, but upon closer inspection, the long gown and silk jacket are all worn out after being washed and washed.There is also a hole on the forehead of the eight-petal hat, as if there should have been a piece of jade or emerald here.

"Hey, Mr. Tong, are you here? Can I make a high pot for you?" The waiter greeted him graciously, and wiped the bench in front of Mr. Tong symbolically with the towel on his shoulder.What he said was nice, but there was a hypocrisy on his face.

The man known as Tong Sanye registered the bird cage, took out the grasshopper gourd from his arms, and after hearing the chirping of the insects, he happily put a foreign dollar on the table: "See, I have cash today! The third one, the rest will be rewarded!"

The clerk looked at the shiny silver dollar, and suddenly there was a smile on his face. He took the foreign money with a smile, blew it in his ear and listened to it, and shouted an octave higher: "Master Tong Mingqian Biluochun A pot." Then he wiped Sanye Tong's name off the powder board silently.

Several acquainted guests bowed to each other, and someone also gave a symbolic bow to Tong Sanye: "Third Master is auspicious."

Third Master Tong also quickly bowed to return the gift: "Master Ha, you are also auspicious."

After saluting around, Sanye Tong pretended to be mysterious and said: "Have you heard that we fought a battle with the Japanese in Jinan Prefecture!"

"Little Japan is too deceitful, it should be beaten."

"Who fought in which town in Beiyang?"

Tong Sanye sneered and said, "Beiyang? His grandma is like the third grandson. What kind of volunteer army is it called?"

"Volunteer Army? I only know Dingwu Army, Wuwei Army and so on. I have never heard of this volunteer army."

Sanye Tong took the opportunity to sit at the next table, and took a bite of the coke ring on the table, his mouth was still rattling, and said vaguely: "Dingwujun? Let me tell you, this volunteer army~ is actually the soldier of Li Mohan, the newly appointed Yangtze River patrol envoy."

"Scared? I've heard of this guy, but isn't his soldier called the SS?"

Tong Sanye took another bite of the Jiaoquan, and said: "There is a way here. Before the 19 provincial governors jointly demanded a war against Japan, President Yuan insisted on not allowing it. Poor Governor Li, who wanted to serve the country but failed to serve the country." In desperation, they had no choice but to disobey orders and fight. The so-called volunteer army means that this is not my idea, Li, but the common people can't stand the arrogance of the Japanese, so they insist on going."

"Hey~ What's the matter, you have to be so devious to be loyal to the country?" Someone was indignant

Sanye Tong lowered his voice and said, "Do you know why Yuan Shikai insisted on not letting him be beaten?"

Everyone moved their heads together and asked, "Why?"

Tong Sanye said: "Have you heard that Yuan Shikai intends to become emperor himself?"

"Yuan Shikai? What kind of thing is he? He sold Emperor Guangxu back then, then Li Hongzhang, and finally Emperor Xuantong, and became the president by relying on the seller to seek glory~"

Tong Sanye said: "Yuan Shikai also knew that his name was not right, so he expected that once he became emperor, someone would turn against him, so he refused to let the Beiyang Army and the Japanese fight him to death, in order to keep it for himself. people."

"Hey~ I'm crackling with his Lao Yuan's abacus~!" Everyone said with emotion

"Cough~!" At some point, the old Yutai's boss put his hands in his sleeves, stood by the table, and said with a smile on his face: "Masters, don't talk about state affairs, don't talk about state affairs~~~~"

Everyone dispersed and continued to drink tea on their own. Sanye Tong drank a few sips of tea, settled the bill, and left with the birdcage humming a little song.After leaving Old Yutai, he wandered unsteadily into a very inconspicuous alley.After seeing that there was no one around, he put down the cage and clapped his hands.

After a while, a man wearing a short jacket and trousers and a soft hat walked over.

"Well done." The man stuffed Tong Sanye a paper bag

Sanye Tong squeezed three fingers, and immediately smiled. "If Tong San is useful, just ask."
