Jagged Warlord

Liu Zhenhua, courtesy name Xueya, whose real name is Maoye, was born in Heluo Town, Gongyi County, Henan Province in 1883 in a small merchant family.When Liu Zhenhua was young, his family was in decline, and his father taught the "Four Books" and "Five Classics", and he passed the examination for scholar.Later, he entered Baoding Beiyang Excellent Normal School and Baoding Law and Politics Specialized School to study in the Prison Department. After graduation, he served as the general secretary of Zhongzhou Public School in Kaifeng.

In 1908, Liu Zhenhua joined the Tongmenghui and began to engage in anti-Qing revolutionary activities in western Henan. On the eve of the Xinhai Revolution in 1911, Liu Zhenhua went to Yangshan, Song County, and mobilized a "swordsman" armed force led by Wang Tianzong to participate in the anti-Qing struggle.This armed force later became the capital of his fortune, which was the predecessor of the Zhensong Army.

Most of the officers and soldiers of the Zhensong Army were "swordsmen" and were inextricably linked with the bandits in western Henan. Therefore, the Zhensong Army was discriminated against and attacked by the former governor of Henan Zhang Zhenfang and other faction generals.In order to change this situation, Liu Zhenhua was determined to rectify military discipline, and relentlessly suppressed the bandits. Zhang Zhigong, Han Yukun, Chai Yunsheng and others "killed relatives righteously", and soon wiped out the banditry in Yichuan, Luoning, Songxian, and Yiyang. Two to 3000 people were also killed within the Song Army due to personal involvement.In this way, the Zhensong Army finally got Zhang Zhenfang's appreciation and gained a foothold in western Henan.

Liu Zhenhua himself is from Henan, so he knows the mentality of Henan people best. He predicted that Bai Lang would flee back to Henan in the end. Therefore, while other troops were running around with Bai Lang, Liu Zhenhua stood still in the west of Henan. , just waiting for Bai Lang, the rabbit, to bump into his big tree.

Originally, Liu Zhenhua had drawn a good hand, but he was cut off halfway by an unknown boy, how could he not be angry?In a fit of anger, Liu Zhenhua sent Chai Yunsheng to Bauhinia Pass with a team of people, regardless of whether it was soft or hard, they had to get some benefits from this little boy Li Mohan.

As a result, Chai Yunsheng failed to live up to his expectations and made a bad start. He immediately lost the artillery company he had managed to form.

While Liu Zhenhua was annoyed, Zhao Ti's letter arrived, and the letter was harshly worded, making Liu Zhenhua furious.

patter

Liu Zhenhua shattered the teacup in his hand, and cursed: "Chai Yunsheng is an idiot, he has more success than failure. Who asked him to provoke Zhao Ti?"

A middle-aged officer just walked in at the door, and when he saw this, he comforted him: "Don't get angry, commander, there is a way for the humble officer to make Li Mohan's bamboo basket empty."

Liu Zhenhua turned his head and saw that it was his staff officer Ran Xiang.Ran Xiang was famous for his spooky ideas, so Liu Zhenhua hurriedly asked, "What good idea do you have?"

Ran Xiang smiled and said: "This method is not difficult to come by, it only needs four words - get ahead first."

Liu Zhenhua was puzzled and asked, "What does it mean to get there first?"

Ran Xiang said: "Let's send Bai Lang to the Xinyang camp first and hand it over to Tian Wenlie. Isn't that why we caught Bai Lang?"

Liu Zhenhua shook his head and said, "Are you confused? Bai Lang is in the hands of Li Mohan."

Ran Xiang said: "The commander is so confused. Let's first find a human head, fry it in oil, and say it is Bai Lang's head. Then we will fabricate some documents and certifications for killing Bai Lang, and take the credit first. Once the telegram from President Yuan Da comes out, the deal is done, so what can Li Mohan do?"

Liu Zhenhua hesitated, and said, "How can there be paper in this world that can cover fire?"

Ran Xiang said: "Even if the Dong Chuang incident happens, President Yuan can still slap himself, saying that the previous Jiadian was wrong?"

Liu Zhenhua was already thick-skinned, but after being encouraged by Ran Xiang, he felt that this plan was feasible. "Ran Xiang, I have you, Liu Xuande has Zhuge Liang!"

Ran Xiang hurriedly bowed and said with a smile, "Praise!"

So the daring Ran Xiang found a corpse, cut off the head of the corpse and sent it to the Xinyang Camp overnight. Find out Bai Lang's whereabouts, attack inside and outside, and kill Bai Lang Yunyun.

Tian Wenlie was not stupid, but faced with a telegram from Li Mohan claiming to capture Bai Lang alive and a telegram from Liu Zhenhua claiming to have killed Bai Lang, Tian Wenlie didn't know what to do.Therefore, Tian Wenlie simply sent the two telegrams to Yuan Shikai intact, and let him decide.

Yuan Shikai didn't know what to do, so he asked Yang Du, a think tank, to discuss.

After reading the two telegrams, Yang Du said, "In my opinion, the one from Li Mohan is genuine, and the one from Liu Zhenhua is fake."

"You bastard, how dare you lie to me." Yuan Shikai scolded angrily.

Yang Du laughed instead, and said, "In this case, it shows that Liu Zhenhua understands the President's mind better."

Yuan Shikai was stunned for a moment, then smiled knowingly, and said, "Yes, the envoys of various countries exert pressure on us every day. If Bai Lang can't suppress it, the previously negotiated loan will not be credited as scheduled. You see, the past few days have shattered my hair. It’s all a lot sad.”

Yang Du showed a sympathetic look, and said, "The president should also take care of his health."

Yuan Shikai smiled slightly, waved his hands, and said, "The burden of such a big country is not light." After speaking, Yuan Shikai went to the desk, thought for a while, and said, "Liu Zhenhua, Li Mohan~ Oh, yes, and Zhao Ti , these three people can't be in vain. They all have to reward something."

Yang Du nodded and said, "It's not difficult for Liu Zhenhua to arrive. He was ambushed by Bai Lang before and lost a battle. Now he only needs to be reinstated as an official. People are very obedient, and they are more diligent in doing things than the old Beiyang. I thought that Dudu Tian would return to the capital sooner or later, so it would be okay to hand Henan to Zhao Ti. As for that Li Mohan~~Young and vigorous, he is still It’s good to grind it well.”

Yuan Shikai nodded while listening, but when he talked about Li Mohan, he shook his head, "No, young people nowadays are impetuous and talk about revolution at every turn. They are most likely to be seduced by Sun Wen's rebellious party. We can't be self-defeating~ ~~”

As he said that, Yuan Shikai took out two more telegrams and handed them to Yang Du, saying: "These two telegrams were sent by Li Mohan to the Ministry of War. The content is similar. The first one is about my Xiaoxian people, hoping to be stationed in Xiaoxian County." The county went to return home. The second said that he had newly married a concubine and wanted to go back to his hometown to visit the grave of his ancestors."

Yang Du frowned, and said, "What a mess, it's so disrespectful."

Yuan Shikai was happy instead, and said, "Maybe this young man has some abilities, but he does seem to have the disposition of a playboy."

When Yuan Shikai said this, Yang Du became suspicious and said, "Could it be that this person has some kind of conspiracy, so he intentionally polluted himself with it?"

Yuan Shikai smiled and said, "Is Sun Wen's conspiracy serious? With my current strength in Beiyang, as long as Xiao Qiang is not caused, any conspiracy can be resolved. In addition, that Zhang Xun really makes me worry."

Yang Du asked: "What is the connection between this Li Mohan and Zhang Xun?"

Yuan Shikai said: "I sent people to investigate carefully. This Li Mohan was an officer of the Revolutionary Party's People's Army during the [-] Revolution. He was responsible for driving Zhang Xun out of Xuzhou, and he was named an adjutant of the People's Army Mixed Brigade because of this." But the mixed brigade was abolished soon after. Later he went to Jiaozuo, Henan to do business, annexed a local Jianghu gang, and then recruited a team to form a militia.”

Yang Du let out an "oh" and said, "I understand, this person is also an enemy of Zhang Xun. Then let them go to the narrow road."

In the third year of the Republic of China, Bai Lang was wiped out, and the meritorious ministers were rewarded one by one. Chen Shufan and Liu Zhenhua were awarded the Army Lieutenant General and Division Commander, Zhao Tilao was awarded the Henan Governor, and Li Mohan was awarded the Henan East Guard Envoy and Army Major General Brigadier Commander.
