Lao Zhang started his business with a gun, so he has the strictest control over the troops. All the military and police in Fengtian are in the hands of Zhang Zuolin, except for one army, which is a reinforcement brought by Duan Zhigui when he came to Fengtian. group.

This army is the elite soldiers of Beiyang, and it is also very well equipped. Lao Yuan handed over this army to Duan Zhigui to embolden his godson and use it to deter Zhang Zuolin.But the facts proved that Lao Yuan had made a wrong idea. Although Duan Zhigui had a strong military force, he didn't know how to use it. Soon, this reinforced regiment became a decoration.

After all, the army can’t be like a vase, just put it there. The army needs to eat and drink. A total of 4000 people need to be paid and trained.

Most of these soldiers were from Henan and Hebei. They had never experienced the winter in the Northeast. When the northwest wind blows and the snow falls, these people can't bear it.They all asked Duan Zhigui to give them winter clothes, and some soldiers clamored to go back to the pass instead of suffering outside the pass.

Duan Zhigui was really immersed in the excitement of his godfather's enthronement at this time, he was looking forward to being promoted to the throne, and after he was pushed aside by Lao Zhang, he didn't have much money in his hands, but he spent a lot of money and had to go Beijing sent money, so it only gave five thousand oceans, and dismissed these soldiers like beggars.

The Beiyang soldiers who lacked food and clothing scolded Duan Zhigui's ancestral grave. The brothers escorted you, but when they arrived in Fengtian, Duan Zhigui didn't care about them.Fengjun is now well fed and well dressed, with money in their pockets, and they can buy New Year’s goods for their families. As a result, they are starving. Beiyang is the serious central army, and Fengjun is just a local army. force.As a result, the gap between the two sides is so big, no one will be balanced in their hearts.

They couldn't find Duan Zhigui, and they didn't dare to look for Zhang Zuolin, so they could only vent their anger on these businessmen, extort some money from them, and improve their lives. Just when they heard that Minsheng Department Store was very prosperous, a total of five Beiyang soldiers broke in here.

The layout of Minsheng Department Store is similar to that of later generations, but since there is no computer, it cannot scan codes to collect payments.Therefore, a relatively primitive method is adopted. Each commodity has a wooden label with the price written on it, and then the cashier uses the abacus to settle the settlement. The number of commodities is far less than that of later generations.So it can be dealt with.

This kind of label is not the first, and many theaters charge according to the time.The people listening to the opera each hold a piece of wood.A time is recorded for entering, and a time is recorded for coming out, and the fee is charged according to the length of time. If the actor is not good enough, many audiences will run out for a while, and then go in to listen to the actor they like.

Minsheng also borrowed this kind of thing.In fact, at the beginning Zhang Tinglan also doubted whether it would be possible to build a supermarket without the help of a computer system, but various problems were solved one after another, which proved that it was still completely feasible.

In fact, the world's first supermarket appeared in the United States in [-].At that time, computers were far from popular, and supermarket shopping was largely an innovation of a concept.

Several Beiyang soldiers ran to the cashier area to make a fuss, making price tags and abacus beads all over the place. The scene was chaotic. The security guards and the police all ran over and surrounded the troublesome Beiyang soldiers. Zhang Tinglan also drove away at this time come over.

Zhang Tinglan was naturally furious when these guys blatantly ran to her to make trouble.

"Brothers, you are all food soldiers. You know the military rules and regulations. If you come here to make trouble, aren't you afraid of being punished?"

"Don't tell me this, we are the Beiyang Army, do you know? His Majesty the Emperor personally trained them, and they are Habayashi's army. Who dares to control us!"

Zhang Tinglan sneered slightly: "A group of Imperial Forest Army who swindled food and drink, smashed and robbed shops are really embarrassing to His Majesty."

"Hmph, we don't care whether we lose face or not. I'm short of food and drink now, so why don't we starve to death? If officials don't give it, we'll grab it. Whoever dares to control me, I'll kill him."

When Zhang Tinglan saw how hooligans these guys looked, a cold light flashed in his eyes. He didn't bother to talk nonsense with these guys. He waved his hand and asked the guards behind him to do it. Those who protect Zhang Tinglan's safety are all carefully selected. A good player, not weak in kung fu.

Dealing with a few soldiers was no problem at all, and they were all beaten to the ground in a short time. These guys were still not convinced, and shouted loudly, thinking that they could do whatever they wanted with Yuan Shikai's power, but it was obviously a mistake. Zhang Tinglan won't be intimidated by them.

They were directly tied up like zongzi, and they were detained.

"Young Master Zhang, these five guys are from the Beiyang Army. If you arrest them, will there be any trouble?" Liu Shucheng asked worriedly.

"It's okay, don't worry, quickly restore order here, I'll go to Zhang Dashuai to deal with it now."

Zhang Tinglan escorted the five Beiyang soldiers and quickly left the Minsheng Department Store.However, the news spread like wildfire. Fengjun arrested people from Beiyang. Whether this will cause a contest between the two largest forces in Fengtian, everyone has no idea.

We must know that although Zhang Zuolin is powerful and Fengtian's boss, Emperor Yuan stands behind those Beiyang troops. If old Yuan gets angry, whether Zhang Zuolin can resist, everyone has no idea!

The atmosphere in Fengtian soon became tense, and the news quickly spread to the Beiyang Army's barracks. Duan Zhigui didn't care about them. The discipline of these soldiers was already very poor, with a lot of bad habits. Now that there is no restraint, they are even more lawless.

There were those who gambled, those who smoked opium, and those who fought. The general camp was in a mess, and the generals were in a mess. Originally, the head of the regiment, Lu Lin, was in charge of leading the troops on a daily basis.However, Lu Lin also disliked Fengtian's harsh conditions. The head of the group hired an actor and spent his days drinking and drinking.

A good Beiyang elite soldier, because of poor management, the combat effectiveness plummeted, and a gang of soldiers even became a cancerous tumor.

However, these Beiyang soldiers did not feel their own depravity at all. On the contrary, they all looked above their heads. When Lao Yuan became the emperor, they also seemed to be rising with the tide, becoming more lawless and domineering.

As soon as they heard that some Beiyang soldiers had been captured by the Feng army, this group of people quit immediately.Crying to find Fengjun to settle accounts and save Beiyang's face, more and more soldiers gathered. At this time, several other battalion commanders in charge saw that something big was going to happen, so they had to find Lu Lin.

The head of the regiment is comfortable in the gentle township. When he saw someone disturbing his dream, Lu Lin immediately turned his face. He came to the barracks angrily. Just when the soldiers were about to go out to find Feng Jun people.

"Captain, we Beiyang have been bullied by others. You must always stand up for us. The pro-army of our majestic emperor is now mixed with people and ghosts, how can we have the face to see other robes!"

Lu Lin also gritted his teeth: "Don't worry, everyone, there is no one in this world who can bully our Beiyang Army. Whoever dares to arrest our people will make him pay the price."

When they were ruthless.Suddenly, a guard ran over in a panic from outside.

"My lord. It's not good. The troops of the Fengjun Brigade are rushing over here. It looks like they are going to surround our barracks."

After Lu Lin heard this, he trembled suddenly, and the northwest wind blew along his neck.Straight to the heart.Regardless of how fiercely he yelled, Lu Lin was really a little scared of Feng Jun, especially Zhang Zuolin, who went to the meeting alone.The aura alone completely subdued Lu Lin.

This guy thought that there would not be much movement about the matter of the soldiers, and Lao Zhang would not necessarily not sell him face, but the fact was beyond his expectation, Feng Jun actually dispatched a large group of troops, and surrounded the general camp stand up.Lu Lin's hands and feet were numb at the time, and of course he couldn't sit still, so he immediately ordered the soldiers to get their weapons and take precautions.

As a result, these soldiers got lazy and used to be busy with gambling. Now they are in a mess. Some people can't even find their military uniforms. As a result, I couldn't find my team again.

Just as they were in a mess, the sound of horseshoes outside the barracks had already arrived. Five hundred cavalry surrounded the barracks first, and then a regiment of infantry rushed up, followed by artillery battalions and machine gun units. Surrounded the barracks of the Beiyang Army.

Surrounded by Zhang Tinglan and others, Zhang Zuolin appeared in front of the camp.

"Commander Lu, Marshal Zhang came to inspect the barracks, don't you welcome him?"

When Lu Lin saw Zhang Zuolin rushing over so aggressively, he felt that something was wrong, but he didn't dare to offend Zhang Zuolin, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and take Lao Zhang in.

Zhang Zuolin glanced at those Beiyang soldiers who were still in a mess, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.This group of Beiyang soldiers can't keep up with Fengjun. Ever since he had sufficient funds and ammunition, Zhang Zuolin has worked hard on the training of the troops. Therefore, Fengtian was able to act so quickly after receiving the transfer order and surrounded the Beiyang army. .

"Brothers, I, Lao Zhang, was wrongly loved by His Majesty, and was appointed as the Governor of Fengtian, in charge of the military affairs of a province. I must work hard, be worthy of Your Majesty's great grace, and be worthy of the support of the people. Just today, five soldiers ran away. When they went to the department store to cause trouble and seriously disrupted social order, I think it must be severely punished to alert the morale of the army."

Lao Zhang has already figured out the temperament of the Beiyang gang, which is typical of bullying and fearing the hard, so Lao Zhang adopted the method of taking the lead, and directly overwhelmed the top.

Facing the mighty Zhang Zuolin, Lu Lin lacked confidence, but at this moment he had to speak up.

"Dashuai Zhang, the brothers have been away from home for a long time, and the New Year is coming soon, and I feel a little dissatisfied in my heart. Let me vent a little, I don't think there is any need to pursue it too much!"

"No, the military discipline is the strictest. There can be no bargaining. If you make a mistake, you will be punished." With a wave of Zhang Zuolin's hand, someone brought those soldiers over and pushed them in front of everyone.

"These five people smashed and robbed the shop and disturbed the social order. The nature is very bad, but fortunately no serious losses were caused. Therefore, each of them was beaten with thirty lashes and executed immediately!"

When Lao Zhang gave an order, the soldiers pushed the five people to the front, picked up the whips, and were about to execute them.At this time, all the Beiyang soldiers present were furious, and Zhang Zuolin came to slap him in the face. They all looked at Lu Lin in unison, hoping that he would show some attitude.

Lu Lin hesitated to speak several times at this time, he really wanted to stop him, but when he saw the machine guns and cannons of the soldiers of the Feng army, he couldn't help feeling terrified. did not see it.

At this time, the executioner waved his whip, and every time the whip went down, there was a bloodstain, and soon the five soldiers were beaten so that their parents screamed.The other Beiyang soldiers couldn't help but feel a bit like a dead dog when they saw it. They felt very uncomfortable. It seemed that the whip had been whipped on their hearts and faces. Some of them lowered their heads in shame, Some people clenched their fists, aggrieved.

Thirty lashes were whipped quickly, and the five people were all limp on the ground. Lao Zhang waved his hand again, and more than a dozen carts rushed to the barracks, and boxes of things were removed from the carts.

"Brothers, I heard that you have been in arrears with a lot of military pay for a long time. It is almost the Chinese New Year. I will bring you some New Year's goods. It is a New Year's greetings for you!" (To be continued...)
