Jagged Warlord

Jin Yunpeng, governor of Shandong Province, was a native of Miaozhuang Village, Zou County, Yanzhou Prefecture, Shandong Province. When he was 18 years old, he and his younger brother Jin Yun'e were forced by life to join the "New Army" supervised by Yuan Shikai at Tianjin Xiaozhan and belonged to Duan Qirui's subordinates.Later, he went to the military academy to study twice. Four years later, he was selected to study in the first phase of the Military Equipment School attached to the Artillery Corps.He stayed on as a teacher after graduation, and won the appreciation and respect of Duan Qirui, the supervisor of the school. Together with Xu Shuzheng, Wu Guangxin and Fu Liangzuo, he was called the Four King Kongs of the Anhui Department.

After the Revolution of 5, Yuan Shikai ascended to the interim presidential seat. Jin Yunpeng was recommended by Duan Qirui to be the commander of the 9th town, and he would handle Shandong military affairs. In September of the same year, he was awarded the title of lieutenant general. Division commander, acted temporarily as the governor of Shandong in August 5, and was added the rank of general of the army, and was officially appointed in December.Two years later, he was appointed by Yuan Shikai as General Taiwu to supervise military affairs in Shandong.Then he made his fortune. In addition to operating several enterprises such as Lufeng Spinning Mill in Jinan, he also has more than 1913 mu of land. In 8, Yuan Shikai conspired to proclaim himself emperor. On September 12, he joined the generals of 2 provinces in a joint telegram inviting Yuan Shikai to the throne. In December 5, he was awarded the first-class earl by Yuan.

But in Jin Yunpeng's view, it is not easy to be the governor of Shandong.There have been many thieves in Shandong since ancient times, and the revolutionary party is still ready to move under the protection of the Japanese.In addition, there are Japanese and SS forces in Shandong, which are intricate and intertwined. Jin Yunpeng feels a little bit exhausted.

But fortunately, Li Mohan's SS army seems to be friend rather than enemy at least for now. In order to deal with Juzheng and other revolutionary parties, Jin Yunpeng expanded the strength of 4 regiments, and Li Mohan secretly sold him a lot of arms.

Jin Yunpeng and Li Mohan had no friendship, so he personally inspected and accepted this batch of goods. About half of the German Mausers in Yishui were brand new, and the other half were probably new.

"That's not bad." Jin Yunpeng is very satisfied with this batch of transactions. After all, the price is there, which is [-]% cheaper than buying from foreign firms.

Jin Yunpeng has a favorite general named Zhang Shuyuan, styled Shaoqing, from Wudi, Shandong.Beiyang Xinjian Army studied at the German School of the Camp, and graduated from the Artillery Department of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy. He was then the commander of the Fifth Army Division and the Deputy Military Affairs Office of Shandong.

"Report to the governor. The fifth division has been assembled and is ready to be dispatched at any time." Zhang Shuyuan's face is very kind, his eyes are not big, but there are two mighty sword eyebrows, and he is not angry.Coupled with the military uniform at this time, it is very mighty.

Jin Yunpeng said to Zhang Shuyuan: "Shaoqing, Li Mohan voluntarily gave up Weixian and Yidu at this time. In fact, he put us on the fire. The revolutionary party is eyeing Shandong, but we have to accept these two hot potatoes. .The meat delivered to the mouth is always unwilling to eat.”

Zhang Shuyuan replied: "Don't worry, Commander, I, Zhang Shuyuan, swear to live and die in Wei County and Yidu."

Jin Yunpeng raised his hand, stroked the mustache on his lips with the thumb of his right hand, and said, "Shaoqing, you don't understand what I mean."

Zhang Shuyuan stood up straight, shrunk his neck, and lowered his head, "Marshal, I'm a low-ranking blunt, please make it clear, Marshal."

Jin Yunpeng coughed and pretended to walk towards a place where there were few people. Zhang Shuyuan hurriedly followed with his head down.

Jin Yunpeng walked to a secluded place, and then said to Zhang Shuyuan: "Shaoqing, you are my confidant. What do you think of me supporting the old man's proclaiming emperor?"

Zhang Shuyuan became nervous, and replied: "I don't dare to speak indiscriminately in a lowly position, everything is under the command of the commander-in-chief."

"Tsk tsk~" Jin Yunpeng frowned, "What worries do you have now?"

Zhang Shuyuan was still worried, "Marshal, do you really want to say that you are humble?"

"Say it straight~" Jin Yunpeng said

Zhang Shuyuan said: "I heard that the old man once asked someone to tell his fortune. The blind fortune-teller said that his Yuan family had a total of eighty-two. The old man only thought that the Yuan family dynasty could last for 82 years. A humble job is a good thing. I also secretly asked someone to do a fortune-telling. Hexagram. It also means that the number of eighty-two is combined, but the number of eighty-two is not about 82 years~~ but~"

"But what~" Jin Yunpeng asked

"It's 82 days." Zhang Shuyuan raised his head and said, to Zhang Shuyuan's surprise, Jin Yunpeng showed no surprise or surprise.

Jin Yunpeng let out a long sigh, "God's will~!"

Zhang Shuyuan already understood Jin Yunpeng's subtext

Jin Yunpeng said again: "The hexagrams you and I divination are actually the same. It seems that the old man's world will not last long."

Zhang Shuyuan suddenly realized, and said: "Now that I understand, I will take it as my duty to keep the Fifth Division."

Only then did Jin Yunpeng nodded in satisfaction, "Shaoqing's spirituality. Go."

"Yes." Zhang Shuyuan saluted Jin Yunpeng

……Dividing line……

Yang Yunlong's Department was stationed in Weixian and Yidu, which had been reorganized from the Fourth Regiment of the Volunteer Army into the Fourth Regiment of the First Division of the SS.Yang Yunlong didn't understand Li Mohan's order for the SS to withdraw from Weixian and Yidu, but Li Mohan's order was not allowed to be questioned, so Yang Yunlong could only obey.

Zhang Shuyuan knew how powerful the SS was, so he was polite when he came to take over.

"Commander Yang, I have admired your name for a long time. I am Zhang Shuyuan, commander of the Fifth Division of the Army." Zhang Shuyuan greeted Yang Yunlong very politely.

Yang Yunlong saluted Zhang Shuyuan with a half-hearted smile, of course in the SS style.Although Yang Yunlong and Zhang Shuyuan have no affiliation, Zhang Shuyuan is the division commander and Yang Yunlong is only the head of the regiment, so we have to do this out of politeness.

"Mr. Zhang, you've got a big deal." Yang Yunlong put one hand on his waist and pointed to a circle of trenches outside Weixian County with the other. "We've dug all the trenches, and you can just squat in."

Zhang Shuyuan was not very happy when he heard this, and said: "We are all in the Chinese army, how can we divide them?"

Yang Yunlong smiled and said, "Where are you talking? However, I heard that some people didn't have enough guns, so they made a batch of wooden cannons to bluff people."

At first Zhang Shuyuan thought that Yang Yunlong was mocking him again, but when he thought about it carefully, he had never done such a thing, and the Fifth Division was not short of guns. Could it be that he was talking about~? ? ?

Zhang Shuyuan smiled and said, "Commander Yang, I should have bought you a drink, but I have to wait another day because of the busy military affairs."

Yang Yunlong put his hands behind his back and replied, "No hurry, there are plenty of opportunities."

After Yang Yunlong left, Zhang Shuyuan's adjutant Ge Mingde said angrily, "This Yang Yunlong is too arrogant."

Zhang Shuyuan smiled, and said: "A man can bend and stretch, and people make people strong and strong?"

Ge Mingde changed the topic, jumped down the trench to have a look, and then dug a few times in the soil with a bayonet, "One thing to say, this civil engineering method is really good."

Zhang Shuyuan said: "They can beat the Japanese until they lose their helmets and armor, but that's for nothing? You have to have two real kung fu."

Ge Mingde jumped out of the trench and asked the communications soldiers beside him, "Immediately order all the departments to deploy defenses according to the designated defense areas, and there must be no mistakes."

"Yes."

"Report~" The communications soldier ran quickly with a telegram in his hand

Zhang Shuyuan took the telegram and looked at it. It turned out to be the "Declaration on Disputing Yuan" issued by Sun Wen. ;Abusing public funds, murdering talents, and putting the country in a dangerous position; pretending to be in prison by the Democratic Party, and most of the good and cowardly are innocent.With these four, the country will perish!When the country dies, the people will be slaves, and the traitors who are the only one and the second or third vassal can still hold the title of jade to protect their wealth.Alas!How unfortunate is it for our people to entrust the life of this country to Yuan Shizai!Since Yuan became president, there have been hungry people in the wild, but the music and songs in the capital have not been thorough; the country has many worries, but the ceremonies of the suburban sacrifices have not been forgotten.Thousands of households shed tears, and one person is crowned, but the word "Republic" still exists in his heart?If you forget the republic, you are called a thief of the people.We have made this huge mistake with great benevolence and righteousness in the past, how dare we not make trouble, and vow to kill this traitor to save our people.

Zhang Shuyuan was a little disdainful about this, and said with a sneer: "Sun Dapao is used to talking big."

"Report!" Another messenger trotted over, "The commander-in-chief is calling. Transfer the No. 20 infantry regiment of the [-]th Brigade and an artillery battalion to form the Yunnan Conscript Army, and head to the southwest front today."

"What?" Zhang Shuyuan was furious. "It's not enough to take away my regiment, but also take away an artillery battalion? Then what should I use to guard Weixian and Yidu?"

The telegraph soldier replied: "The commander-in-chief said that he would send two regiments from the No. 11 brigade to supplement it."

Zhang Shuyuan became even more furious, "Those are recruits~ I've only touched guns for a few days? Are they capable of fighting?"
