Jagged Warlord

A man with his hands on his hips and a big round hat came over and motioned for the cart puller to stop.He looked at Liu Musheng and said, "You are Ran Qingping's dog-headed military advisor, Liu Musheng, right?"

Although Liu Musheng is now a prisoner, he is still neither humble nor overbearing, and said: "Then it is Liu Musheng."

"My name is Ma Qian'an, and our elder brother's name is Li Mohan. He wants to meet you." The man introduced himself

The men who took the money made way for a European-style carriage to come slowly.The car stopped, and a young man in a white suit and red tie opened the door and got out.

Liu Musheng frowned slightly, this young and handsome man looked a little irrelevant to the surrounding environment regardless of his clothing and temperament.

The other party walked up to him, motioned his subordinates to untie Liu Musheng, then stretched out his right hand, and said with a smile, "I'm Li Mohan. This is Mr. Liu Musheng, right? Hello."

The other party called him Mr., which was very pleasing to Liu Musheng, who was born in the Qing Dynasty.He got off the cart, bowed and said, "You are polite."

Li Mohan looked Liu Musheng up and down, it was rare that there was such a scholar in the bandit den.Liu Musheng also took a look at Li Mohan, and felt that this person must have returned from overseas, and he had some tricks, so he couldn't let a fierce warrior like Ma Qian'an be used by him.

Li Mohan asked bluntly: "I heard that Mr. Liu was a scholar in the Qing Dynasty, and he was also a well-educated person. How could he become a bandit and help the tyrant?"

In fact, Li Mohan probably already knew the details of Liu Musheng through interrogating Shanbao and others, and he was just probing on purpose at this moment.Liu Musheng didn't know the cause and effect, but he said it honestly, and then emphatically expressed his heart, he wanted to take this opportunity to recruit security.

Li Mohan saw that what he said was consistent with what he understood, so he said: "It turns out that Mr. Liu, like me, has the ideal of serving the country. We are like-minded people, and we really hate seeing each other."

Liu Musheng smiled wryly, pointed to Ran Qingping and said, "If we met earlier, I'm afraid Liu would do the same."

Li Mohan shook his head and said, "We didn't cut off Ran Qingping's hands and feet, that's what happened when we found him in the grove. If we didn't heal his wounds, I'm afraid he would have died of excessive blood loss."

Liu Musheng didn't look like Li Mohan was lying, so it was probably Guo Shanbao and the others who did it.Liu Musheng then asked: "Then Mr. Li plans to send someone Liu to the government?"

Li Mohan thought for a while, shook his head, and replied: "Mr. Liu, although I call you Mr. Liu, you are Ran Qingping's military adviser after all. He is the leader of the bandit, and you can't get away with it."

Liu Musheng was a little anxious, he gritted his teeth, and said, "How about this, I will tell Jun Li where your Ran Qingping's treasure is, as Liu's signature."

Ma Qian'an interjected: "Voting the certificate? That means surrendering to our eldest brother?"

Liu Musheng obviously didn't take this matter of changing the court seriously. He said: "I heard that Mr. Li often talks about doing great things. Throughout the ages, those who can treat those who surrendered kindly can accomplish great things. For example, Liu Bang was able to make Yong Chi a marquis, and Cao Cao was able to Use Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and a group of surrendered generals. On the contrary, Xiang Yu killed 20 Qin soldiers and failed to win the hearts of the people. This is a lesson from the past."

Li Mohan felt that Liu Musheng had a clever mouth, so he said: "I have sent people to investigate, the mountain leopard has already returned to the village, what else is left in the village?"

Liu Musheng hurriedly said: "The two of you don't know, the cottage is full of silver dollars, but the treasures are full of ammunition and gold."

"Is there such a good thing?" Li Mohan asked

Liu Musheng said: "I originally planned to assist Ran Qingping, and hoped that one day he would be recruited into the imperial court. The money was prepared to pave the way for that time."

Li Mohan thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, then I will accept Mr. Liu's nomination certificate."

Under the leadership of Liu Musheng, Li Mohan found a secret cave in Yuntai Mountain.However, to Li Mohan's disappointment, the ammunition that Liu Musheng talked about was actually only dozens of Hanyang-made, and the gold was really solid, a total of fifty small gold bars.

Li Mohan didn't like these guns at all, he was only interested in these gold bars.Li Mohan has already made up his mind, these guns will be turned over as stolen goods and trophies, and these gold bars will naturally belong to him.

In addition, Yuan Shikai dismissed Zhang Zhenfang, the former governor of Henan Province, for his ineffectiveness in suppressing Bai Lang.Instead, his confidant Duan Qirui acted as the governor of Hubei and the governor of Henan, and mobilized troops from Henan, Hubei, Anhui and other provinces to suppress the Bailang uprising.Military attaches from the embassies of Britain, Russia and other countries in Beijing rushed to Henan to offer advice under the name of "watching the battle" Duan Qirui.

Under the banner of robbing the rich and helping the poor, the Bailang army received information from the common people everywhere to avoid the main force of the enemy.Yuan Shikai reprimanded Duan Qirui by telegram repeatedly because of his ineffectiveness in suppressing Duan Qirui, but the great powers were unwilling to continue borrowing money from him.

But this Beiyang Tiger also has a hard time. Most of his soldiers are local troops in Henan, Hubei, Anhui and other provinces. .

The Bailang Army did not take this prestigious Duan Duan seriously, and openly set up the base camp of the Bailang Army on Mount Chuao in Queshan County, not far from Xinyang.Yuan's reward for catching "wolves" was gradually increased from 5000 yuan to 12 yuan, calculated in Beijing and Henan.At that time, foreign countries were afraid of the spread of "bandit" chaos, so they expressed to Yuan that they were willing to send troops to put down the chaos on Yuan's behalf. Yuan felt that this was a great insult, so he ordered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to declare to the ministers of various countries: "The government has the ability to put an end to the banditry. , and can be responsible for the protection of foreign nationals.”

How many people does Bai Lang's army have?Some said that there were only 1 people, and less than 1000 people with weapons; some said that there were about 2500 people capable of fighting, but they threatened 2 people.

Bai Lang's notice declared that all veterans who join the gang will not accept any ammunition.Seventy-eight out of ten people who are threatened are smokers.Yuan Bing's monthly salary was only four liang, but Bai Lang's army lured him with twelve monthly salary.Bai Lang's army could walk one hundred and twenty miles a day, but the officers and soldiers could only walk fifty or sixty miles a day, so although the officers and soldiers said they were chasing "wolves", they actually sent them off in formation.The Yuan government was greatly confused by this erratic and erratic "bandit" army, and even exaggerated the momentum of the Bailang army out of nothing.In order to conceal his incompetence, according to the battle reports released by the Yuan government, about 100 million "bandits" were killed, and Bai Lang himself did not know how many times he was shot to death by Yuan Jun.

The Yuan government's good news, on the contrary, set off Bai Lang's ever-changing Monkey King. It is said that Bai Lang once sent the fifth column to sneak into the major cities of Tianjin, Beijing, Shanghai, Hankou, and Guangzhou. Shopkeepers, itinerant beggars, carry out various activities; there are also reports that Bai Lang has established transportation and transportation stations in major cities. On the one hand, in exchange for all the materials you need.Yuan's bulletin conclusively stated that Bai Lang's secret organization had been uncovered in Guangzhou, and at the same time he also vividly stated that in addition to Bai Lang, there were also "yellow lions", "Yellow Lions" and "Green Wolf".So Yuan issued an order in the name of the President: "All arrests and bring to justice."
