20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 177 The tiger comes down the mountain and Lao Zhang comes forward
The next morning, the leaves were stained red with frost, and the wind gradually began to rise, filling the mountains with a roar.

Wang Guihe got up early in the morning, wrapped in furs like a bear, stood in the camp, and personally ordered troops for Jiang Xiaodao and others.

He decided to help, not only out of love, but also because he wanted to bet on Jiang Xiaodao.

After briefly explaining the situation to his subordinates, the boys heard that they would have the opportunity to have fun in the provincial capital when they went down the mountain, so they immediately enthusiastically recommended themselves.

In the green forest, there is meat to eat, wine to drink, and women to sleep with. It is indeed a pleasure, but the life on the mountain is nothing more than the same as before.

Young people have fun and occasionally go to surrounding villages and towns to sell mountain goods, which is like celebrating the New Year, not to mention the fireworks in Shengjing.

Wang Guihe was also worried that after these guys entered the city, they would be dazzled by the prosperity and their souls, and would never come back. Therefore, when choosing helpers, he was always extra careful and only selected those with mature temperaments and solid foundation. Chao's son, follow the trail down the mountain.

After a lot of work, ten helpers were selected, all of them were strong young men in their 30s and [-]s.

The leader was the guy who was circling the archery tower yesterday evening. His face was ashen and he spoke sharply. His name was Li Zheng.

After counting the number of people, Wang Guihe asked his men to set up a table of food for everyone to practice. Finally, he stood up and akimbo lectured.

"You guys, please be smarter with your hands and feet. When you get to Fengtian, show some face to me and don't go to town like a fucking country bumpkin. In short, no matter what happens, you will listen to my nephew, do you understand? I This person has a soft ear, you know it. If my eldest nephew comes back to complain to me, you can’t even think about running away, do you hear me?”

"Don't worry, Boss, I heard you!" Everyone responded in unison.

Wang Guihe nodded, quite satisfied, took a step forward, came to Jiang Xiaodao, and patted his shoulder again.

"Eldest nephew, I remember when I first saw you, I knew that Brother Hai had a good son. The hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable! Unfortunately, I can't leave here, so I can only stay away from you on the top of the mountain. Congratulations!"

"Yes, Uncle Wang, thank you on my father's behalf!"

Guan Wei also took the opportunity to step forward and said, "Brother Guihe, thank you very much this time."

Wang Guihe waved his hand: "Hey! Sixth, what are you talking about! Brother Hai and I have a life-long friendship. How can I be such a shameless leader of my brothers on the mountain if I can't even help you with this little favor!"

Saying thank you is not enough just by moving your mouth.

Jiang Xiaodao didn't say anything and just took out dozens of ten-yuan coupons from his arms. This was the money Zhou Yunfu gave him to open a secret hall. Because the ones he recruited were all small fans, they were useless, so now he stuffed them all into his pocket. Wang Guihe.

Jiang Xiaodao was usually vague, but in this regard, he was never vague.

"Uncle Wang, it's not easy for you to recruit troops. Just keep the money. We have our own trolls and thugs. Your rifles are too eye-catching, so don't take them with you."

Wang Guihe was quite surprised: "Hey, eldest nephew, what do you mean? Don't you think you're insulting me?"

Jiang Xiaodao didn't explain much, and said with a smile: "Uncle Wang, if you don't take this money, you will be treating me badly."

Everyone loves money, so Wang Guihe declined the offer several times, hesitantly, and finally accepted it with a smile.

"My eldest nephew, it's just this once, it won't happen again, listen up!"

Jiang Xiaodao felt happy, but he kept saying, "Okay, I came here in a hurry. When I finish the business in Fengtian, I will come back and let you stay here for a few days!"

"Hahaha, that's necessary, I'll be waiting for you here!"

Wang Guihe sent everyone outside the village gate. Just like before, they still held each other's fists and said goodbye, but the feeling was completely different.

When I said goodbye, I was very successful and in high spirits.

Now that time has passed, several people are no longer here, and it is inevitable to feel sad and sighing in my heart.

Saying "take care" and saying "stay", looking at each other from a distance, is the world.

Jiang Xiaodao took the lead and led everyone to the foot of the mountain. Suddenly he reined in his horse and turned around. When he looked at Zhao Guoyan, Zhong Yushan, Han Xinyuan, Li Zheng and others, he realized that he had unknowingly gathered a team of people like his father.

Although they are all a group of twenty-year-old young men who have not yet established themselves and have not yet made a name for themselves, no matter their reputation or ability, they cannot compare to the brothers "Old Owl", but their ambitions may not be able to replace them in time.

At this time, Uncle Liu was in his 30s and about to leave. Standing among the crowd, he seemed abrupt.

"Xiaodao, what are you looking at?" Guan Wei rode up and asked, "Why are you so dazed?"

Jiang Xiaodao came back to his senses, shook his head with an inexplicable smile, and then said loudly: "Brothers, it's not me urging you, but the mountains are high and the road is long. Let's run as fast as possible and rush back to Fengtian as soon as possible. What? Sample?"

The bearded men, headed by Li Zheng, laughed heartily.

"Brother, what do you mean, Saisai? We are on the mountain, and the horses are our legs. If we really pick them up, can you catch up?"

Jiang Xiaodao smiled and said, "Brother, don't be too talkative. You are really capable. If you get stuck while running and talking, don't complain!"

Zhong Yushan was also very excited and said angrily: "Let's just say it, it's no fun just talking. It's worth ten dollars, do you dare to accept it?"

"Hahaha, what a joke! Why wouldn't you dare to accept free money? There is Mentou Village in front of you. Please pay at the entrance of the village!" Jiang Xiaodao didn't give up, and immediately continued: "Okay! Count me in this game. Let’s take the first step, drive! drive!”

"Damn it, he's just playing dirty, brothers, kick him out!"

Young people, fighting bravely, gave the order, and everyone raised their hands to whip their horses, shouting and rushing down the mountain.

Watching the crowd rushing away in a hurry, Guan Wei was left behind alone, but he couldn't bring out the slightest interest.

It's not pretentious, he really feels that he is outside the group, and he feels a little uncomfortable in his heart, so he feels a little lonely.

After hesitating for a while, Guan Wei didn't say a word. He just tapped the horse's belly with his heel, passed through a withered yellow maple forest, and staggered down the mountain.

Not far ahead, excited shouts and violent horse hooves shook the mountains. The dead branches and leaves on the road crackled, being mercilessly trampled into pieces and crushed into dust...

…………

The sound of galloping horse hooves came closer and closer, like rolling thunder in the dark clouds, deafening.

Wherever the horse's hooves trample, a large amount of mud the size of a palm is stirred up. One wave after another rises up, threatening to break through the white mountains and black waters, and the rivers and mountains outside the pass.

In the midst of this loud noise, I looked up and saw thousands of people and horses coming towards me, like an angry tide rolling in and a turbulent wave rolling into the sky!
As the saying goes, soldiers pass by like a comb, bandits pass by like a grate.

If this is the case, what will happen to the soldiers and bandits wherever they go?

But among the thousands of troops, the leader was dressed in military uniform and a cotton hat. He was about 35 years old and short in stature. Although he had a beard on his upper lip, he could still see his handsome features. He looked like a northerner from the south. Phase, male and female phase.

This person's surname is Zhang, his given name is Bancheng, and his nicknames are Zhang Laogeda and Zhang Shorty.

In his early twenties, he wandered around the green forest and became an insurance captain. At the age of 27, he was recruited into the army. He was promoted by General Zhao and Governor Xu. He is now the front commander of the Fengtian Patrol Battalion, with seven battalions under his jurisdiction.

After the southern provinces were restored, Zhang Bancheng installed an internal response at the Fengtian Lecture Hall. He learned that the new army Wei Tianqing intended to raise troops, so he ignored the order, left his post without authorization, and sent his troops south.

Thousands of soldiers and horses, covered with stars and moonlight, traveled day and night, eating and drinking immediately. After walking for several days, all the soldiers were already exhausted. Although Fengtian City was not far ahead, but as the saying goes, "looking at the mountains and running to death", it really There was still at least one day to go before he could go on his way. At that moment, some soldiers came forward to dissuade him.

"Commander Zhang, we have been traveling for three to five days. Why don't we set up camp and rest for a while?"

Zhang Laogao opened his mouth and cursed: "What a fool! You know nothing! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, can I let Wu Datongue take the lead? If I don't enter Fengtian, I will always be someone's underdog! Pass the order, Even if the horse is killed today, we must reach Fengtian!"

When the commander spoke, the subordinates immediately did not dare to continue talking randomly.

Zhang Laogeda's team is no better than the other patrol battalions in Fengtian. They have been fighting for years, and they are indeed somewhat bloody.

At this time, Fengtian City was already in turmoil. The New Army of Beidaying wanted to rebel, and Zhang Long and other members of the Qing Hui Party were plotting in the city.

When Governor Zhao first arrived in Fengtian, what he inherited was a mess. According to his position as governor, he had no right to mobilize new troops, so he had to hope that the patrol battalion could enter the city and take charge.

The original intention was to mobilize other patrol battalions, but Zhang Laoge was ambitious and naturally refused to give up this opportunity. He immediately made his own decision and came to Fengtian City.

Gossip less, the book returns to the main story.

Let's talk about Zhang Laoge's horse racing, and in only six or seven days, he arrived at Fengtian City. The generals and horses were hoarded outside the city to stalemate with the new army of Beidaying. Then he took a group of guards and went straight to the inner city of Fengtian and the three eastern provinces. In front of the Governor's Palace.

Disobeying orders and leading troops back to the provincial capital without authorization is a taboo for military strategists.

However, at this time in Shengjing City, the movement to overthrow the Qing Dynasty became more and more intense. Governor Zhao had long been at his wits end and was so frightened that he almost fled back to the pass. Now that he saw someone leading troops to surrender, he was absolved of the heinous crime.

Zhang Laogeda wanted to show his loyalty. As soon as he entered the Governor's Mansion and saw Zhao Rufeng, he bowed his head and bowed.

"The Governor is frightened. The current military situation is urgent. His subordinates mobilized troops without authorization. They came to defend the Governor and are willing to be punished."

be punished?

What a punishment!
When Governor Zhao saw Zhang Laogao coming with his troops, he was so excited that he almost shed tears, and immediately helped him up.

"Don't say that! General Zhang is loyal to the country and his bravery is commendable. Talking about being punished, we should quickly bring the soldiers into the city and take a good rest!"

The two of them had known each other and supported each other, and now they are helping each other in times of trouble, which is of course extremely gratifying.

With Zhang Laoge's gun in hand, Governor Zhao suddenly strengthened his back, and the current situation in Fengtian seemed to be in turmoil again.

In the midst of the chaos, the patrol battalion settled in the provincial capital first. The happiest person among them was none other than Lao Deng, who had previously bet on the potential and concentrated on managing the patrol battalion's contacts - Zhou Yunfu!
