The Republic is so violent

Chapter 175: Two skins of the world (3)
Zeng Guofan, a minister of Zhongxing in the late Qing Dynasty, and his great-grandson's daughter, Zeng Baosun, are a peerless beauty.How peerless is Zeng Baosun?She went to England with Miss Ba, a British priestess, since she was a child. She was educated by a British lady. The aristocratic temperament that dares to think, makes everyone who sees her open their mouths in amazement.

Zeng Baosun returned from England and founded Yifang Girls' School in Changsha, aiming to improve the elegance index of Chinese women.When Zhang Jingyao heard about her, his brain became hot, and he forgot what he was doing, so he sent someone to summon Zeng Baosun and invited him to attend a banquet at the Superintendent's Office.

Zeng Baosun really came, and after meeting, he saw all kinds of charms, and said: "Old Warlord, you are my father's generation according to your age, let me serve tea for the old man."

Zeng Baosun came closer and served tea to Zhang Jingyao.Forced by her awe-inspiring aura, Zhang Jingyao was trembling all over at that time, tears were rolling in his eyes, and when he was ashamed of himself, he really wished that the ground would open a crack and let himself slip in and hide.Only then did he realize the gap between rough and elegant taste, that distance cannot be expressed in words.In a word, he summoned Zeng Baosun only to bring shame on himself.

Zeng Baosun withdrew as if nothing had happened, and the reporters waiting outside the door swarmed up: Miss Zeng, Miss Zeng, do you two...uh, do you have that, uh, in front of him, do you think you are a lady, or do you think he is a lady? bandit?

Zeng Baosun replied very measuredly: Although he is a bandit, he is still my father's generation.

When this matter got out, Zhang Jingyao became a laughing stock, and he didn't dare to go out to meet people for a long time.

This is exactly: bandits are old and rough, and ladies are smart and hold wisdom pearls.He Yin is willing to take the humiliation, just because he never reads.But Zhang Jingyao, although he suffered a lot in front of Zeng Baosun, he finally had a remarkable side on the battlefield. This time he greeted his sworn brother Liu Yunfeng, he hugged him and burst into tears: brother Ah, my brother, you have made it difficult for the eldest brother to be a man.Missing you, brother, I started as a platoon leader, and now I have become a division commander and commander-in-chief. I have devoted all my life to the 25th regiment.But a few days ago, let your brother fight with me in hand-to-hand combat, and killed more than 800 people in my main force, and 3000 people in my entire division have died in the wilderness. My brother, brother, you really broke my heart. .

Liu Yunfeng took the opportunity and said: "It's because of this, my brother, I didn't avoid axes, axes, and stones, and I came to see my elder brother with my head up, in order to find a way to stop us brothers from fighting."

11 Don't do that to my brother
Beiyang Zhang Jingyao welcomed Liu Yunfeng, an army of national defenders, into Luzhou with a grand welcome ceremony, and then the four brothers of the Zhang family accompanied him personally and hosted a banquet for Liu Yunfeng.During the banquet, everyone didn't talk about the situation of the battle, but only mentioned the past events of the worship in Nanyuan, Beijing in the early years.Among the four brothers of the Zhang family, Zhang Jingyao, the eldest, and Zhang Jingtang, the fourth child, are wise people, but Zhang Jingyao's wisdom is short and thick, while Zhang Jingtang's wisdom is long and thin, which do not meet the standards.It is only when these two brothers are united that they can see the details in the rough and make up for each other.But Zhang Jingshun and Zhang Jingyu only have the ability to eat, and they are not useful for business.

After the dinner, everyone went to the tea hall and sat down. The atmosphere suddenly cooled down, looking depressed and tense.Liu Yunfeng waited for a while, seeing that the four Zhang brothers were silent, he had no choice but to speak first: Brother, we Beiyang soldiers fought our lives to establish the republic, how much blood was shed, how many people died?But brother, why did you suddenly support Yuan Shikai as emperor today?

I?Support Yuan Shikai as emperor?Zhang Jingyao became angry when he heard it: nonsense, there is no shadow!Brother, who did you hear that from?I really wronged your elder brother, and I will never support the monarchy.

You don't support it either... At that time Liu Yunfeng wailed loudly: Do you think this is nonsense?You don't support the imperial system, and I don't support the imperial system, so what are we doing here?Who let us brothers and sisters kill each other?
Yeah yeah, what the hell is going on?Zhang Jingyao fell into extreme confusion.

Liu Yunfeng jumped at the case: "Brother, since this is the case, then the matter will be easy to handle. Why don't we join forces and fight Emperor Yuan together?"

Hit Emperor Yuan?Zhang Jingyao was taken aback: Is this, this... a bit inappropriate?

Liu Yunfeng said: "What's wrong with this?"If he is not an emperor, he is our beloved president.But since he has become the emperor, he is the enemy of the entire Chinese people and our enemy, how can there be no reason to ignore him?
This, this... really want to fight?Zhang Jingyao couldn't make up his mind.

Must hit!Liu Yunfeng was decisive.

At this time, Zhang Jingyao asked a profound question: Brother insists on fighting, but elder brother has no objection.But the question is, who will preside over the country after Emperor Yuan is overthrown?

This... Liu Yunfeng was stuck with this question: this can only be discussed later.

Zhang Jingyao said: "This matter can't wait. China is so big, how can there be no one in charge?"If there is no one in charge, China will be in chaos, and the common people are not afraid of chaos. The common people can run into the valley with their wives and children, but it will be miserable for us soldiers. Calling back and forth, I still don't know why.

Speaking of this, Zhang Jingyao stood up and continued: The person in charge must have extremely high prestige to be able to suppress the riots in all directions. Even if the prestige is a little low, it will not work.Looking at today's China, if Yuan Shikai goes away, the person in charge must be Mr. Duan Qirui.If Mr. Duan does not leave the mountain, the end of China will not be far away, so we must support Mr. Duan as president, brother, you must think so, right?
This... I didn't... It seems... At this point, Liu Yunfeng realized that he was being tricked by his elder brother Zhang Jingyao. There is obviously a tacit understanding among the Beiyang Army. He wants to bring Duan Qirui out to replace Yuan Shikai. Now he is just forcing the National Defense Army to agree to this. condition.

In desperation, Liu Yunfeng murmured: Brother, don't do this, don't do this to my brother...

Zhang Jingyao forced him over: Brother, what is the most important thing to be a human being?You can't forget your roots!Brother, think about it for yourself, where did you study?Baoding Military Academy!who is your principalNow it's Jiang Fangzhen and Jiang Baili, but before that was Mr. Duan Qirui!Brother, you don't even have this kind of incense, and you actually oppose Mr. Duan as president?
I, I, I, how could I object to Mr. Duan... As Liu Yunfeng was speaking, he saw Zhang Jingyao raised his right fist and was about to slap his left palm, and he was waiting for his words to be finalized immediately.In desperation, Liu Yunfeng jumped up wildly and shouted: Brother, we have no say in this matter. Who should be the president is stipulated in the "Constitution of the Republic of China". Vice President takes over.

Zhang Jingyao couldn't hit his fist anymore, and glared at Liu Yunfeng.

It turned out that the four Zhang brothers had been preparing for this negotiation long before Liu Yunfeng arrived. Every sentence in the negotiation process was carefully designed by them. The nose goes into the trap.The whole process was going smoothly, and it was about to be completed. Unexpectedly, Liu Yunfeng suddenly mentioned the "Convention of the Republic of China", which made the Zhang brothers dumbfounded.

12 It's really not your real father
The negotiating trap that the Zhang Jingyao brothers set up for Liu Yunfeng was extremely sophisticated in their own eyes, but rough people are still rough people, and rough people have always had the characteristic of thinking about problems without caring about their heads, and it is inevitable to lose everything.The "Convention of the Republic of China" that they missed was caught by Liu Yunfeng, and the situation was immediately reversed.

In desperation, Zhang Jingyao yelled: If you don't agree to let Mr. Duan be the president, then we have nothing to say, and this battle has to continue.

At this time, Liu Yunfeng took the initiative, he was in a good mood, and his brain became extremely bright, so he easily resolved Zhang Jingyao's violent temper, and said with a smile: "Brother, you forgot that I am not the commander-in-chief of the Yunnan Army. For such a big matter, you can't do it." I really can't make the decision, how about you wait for me to go back and report to Commander-in-Chief Cai?

Zhang Jingyao's four brothers looked at each other, their faces full of tears.

The four of them, who have been in Beiyang until today, have only reached the level of a teacher. Compared with others, they didn't know the difference before, but now they know.

Just looking at how much they put so much thought into Liu Yunfeng who couldn't make his own decisions, you can see what it means to be stupid.If the layout was aimed at Cai E this time, it would definitely be great wisdom, but when it fell on Liu Yunfeng, it would be an understatement to say that Brother Zhang Jingyao is stupid.

Due to the sudden turn of the battle, Liu Yunfeng took the overall initiative, and immediately took the initiative and launched an aggressive offensive against Zhang Jingyao.

Liu Yunfeng began to record the minutes of the meeting: Big brother, big brother, I will write it and read it to you again, do you agree with it...

Article [-]: The northern and southern armies form an allied army to attack Yuan Shikai together.Cai E is the commander-in-chief, Cao Kun is the deputy commander-in-chief, and Zhang Jingyao is the commander-in-chief.

Brother Zhang Jingyao was dumbfounded and didn't know how to express his position.Because in this article, Liu Yunfeng cleverly laid out a trick, blatantly dragging Beiyang Cao Kun into the camp of the National Defense Army, and let him do odd jobs for Cai E.What Liu Yunfeng wanted was for them to fight for the commander-in-chief for Cao Kun, and immediately let them fight for it.If Cao Kun became the commander-in-chief of the National Defense Army, it would mean the complete collapse of Beiyang.So the commander-in-chief Zhang Jingyao brothers can't fight, but it's even more inappropriate not to fight. You can't let Cao Kun run errands for Cai E, right?

It is not right to fight, and it is even more inappropriate not to fight.At this moment, Zhang Jingyao had no choice but to bang his head against the wall.

No way, lack of IQ, the negotiating table is doomed to suffer, this is the rule.

Zhang Jingyao's eyes began to show a faint murderous look.As far as he is concerned, there is only one last solution left.

To kill brother Liu Yunfeng who is sworn brother, he must be killed.

It is better to kill the other party than to die stupidly.This is also the only thought of all stupid people when they encounter difficulties.But Liu Yunfeng's mind was unprecedentedly sharp at this time, how could he give Zhang Jingyao another chance to make this mistake?He immediately swiped his pen and wrote the second article.

Article [-]: Make Duan Qirui the successor president.

Zhang Jingyao sat down.This one was even more ruthless, even blocking the possibility of Zhang Jingyao killing Liu Yunfeng.He put in so much effort just to force Liu Yunfeng to accept this. Now that he has accepted it, why do you think you have to kill again?
Then there is the third article: No matter what army, those who have the same purpose as this are friendly troops, and those who disagree, we will attack them together.

Zhang Jingyao sat there with tears rolling in his eyes: How did this negotiation go about? He clearly planned to take advantage of himself, but how did he find himself at a big loss in the end?When I was depressed, the fourth article came again.

Article [-]: The ammunition of the Yunnan Army shall be supplied by the Beiyang Army.

At that time Zhang Jingyao collapsed, jumped up and yelled: Liu Yunfeng, you figured it out, I am your elder brother, not your real father!Why do you let us Beiyang provide ammunition to your Yunnan Army?

Since Liu Yunfeng dared to write this article, he had already made up his mind, this time he must play Zhang Jingyao to death.Seeing that Zhang Jingyao had collapsed, he smiled and said: Brother, you are confused again. Think about it, why do you Beiyang persecute Yuan Shikai?It can only rely on the power of our national defense army.The greater our power, the greater your persecution of Yuan Shikai.If our national defense army runs out of ammunition and food, what reason do you have to use troops against Yuan Shikai?

Zhang Jingyao felt that his brain was seriously insufficient, so he turned to the fourth brother Zhang Jingtang for help.Zhang Jingtang opened his mouth: Brother, what he said... seems to make sense.

Liu Yunfeng said with a smile: "It's not just a little bit of truth, it's the truth."

The fifth and last clause: The rations of the Confederate Army shall be paid by...

No, this one will never work!Zhang Jingyao rushed over, held Liu Yunfeng down, and begged, "Brother, can you spare my brother?"You can't bully Big Brother like this, Big Brother just has a little lack of brains, but if you want to bully like this, it's too much.

13 so unreasonable

In the early years of the Republic of China, there were only two people at the top of the pyramid of intelligence: Cai E and his annoying friend Chen Huan.It is said that the fate of both of them is more miserable, but in terms of mind, there is no Chen Huan and Cai E who are boring in life, and Cai E and Chen Huan are boring in life.

For several days in a row, there was no gunfire between Beiyang Zhang Jingyao and the National Defense Army. Chen Huan knew something was wrong, and immediately called two people: Liu Yiqing, the staff officer, and Lei Biao, the brigade commander.These two people are both Cai E's people. Chen Huan actually allowed these two people to act openly under his nose without hurting himself. His skill of controlling people is the pinnacle.

Chen Huan ordered: "You two, go out and find out, what is going on between Zhang Jingyao and Cai E?"Is there some secret agreement?
Liu Yiqing and Lei Biao were ordered to come out, and they came back after a short time: report to the general, and found out that Cai E and Zhang Jingyao have indeed reached a cooperation intention.

Well, Chen Huan sneered: As expected, this Cai E dared to live in Xiaofengxian's house, he dared to talk about people like Zhang Jingyao, and he dared to eat anything.What does it mean to be hungry?Just look at what Cai E did and you will know.Tell me about their secret agreement.

Liu Yiqing: There are five secret agreements in total. The first is that the northern and southern armies form an allied army for the purpose of fighting against Yuan. Cai E is the commander-in-chief, Cao Kun is the deputy, and Zhang Jingyao is the commander-in-chief.

Hahaha, Chen Huan laughed loudly: Cai E plotted against Beiyang Cao Kun, Cao Kun was not stupid, and would never agree.

Liu Yiqing: The second article of the secret agreement is to make Duan Qirui the president.

Hahaha, Chen Huan laughed out loud again. This article was Beiyang's plot against Cai E. Cai E was not stupid and would never agree.

Liu Yiqing: Article [-] of the secret agreement, no matter what the army is, those who share the same purpose are friendly troops, and those who disagree will attack together.

Hahaha, Chen Huan laughed out loud again. This article seems to be plain, but it is actually a hidden trap. Cai E or Beiyang must suffer a lot from the next article. Read the next article quickly.

Liu Yiqing: According to Article [-] of the secret agreement, the Yunnan Army's ammunition will be supplied by the Beiyang Army.

Hahaha, Chen Huan laughed out loud for the fourth time, Zhang Jingyao, Zhang Jingyao, don't even mention your high intelligence, you dare to provoke Cai E, look, even your old book is involved, right?Well, it is impossible for Zhang Jingyao to swallow this breath. I want to know how he can turn the book, and read the fifth article quickly.

Liu Yiqing: Article [-] of the secret agreement, the food and salaries of the Allied Army, shall be prepared by Sichuan.

Hahaha... Ga, uh... Chen Huan was continuing to laugh out loud habitually, but suddenly he was choked and fell down on the seat, his face turning blue.Liu Yiqing and Lei Biao were startled, they hurried forward, beat their backs and rubbed their chests, and after a long while, they heard Chen Huan let out an "uh" sound, and slowly let out the breath: "What did you say about the fifth item just now?" ?i didn't catch...

Liu Yiqing thought to himself, if you didn't hear clearly, you're just like this. Wouldn't it be worse if you heard clearly?I repeated it again: Article [-] of the secret agreement, the food and salaries of the Allied Army, will be prepared by Sichuan.

Chen Huan kept blinking, and looked at Liu Yiqing with a confused expression: ... Who will prepare the food and salaries for their two families?
Liu Yiqing: General, we are in charge of the preparation, and you are in charge of the preparation.

Chen Huan jumped up: Why?
Liu Yiqing and Lei Biao ran away in a hurry: We don't know why, anyway, that's what the two of them talked about.

Isn't this pure nonsense?Pointing out the window, Chen Huan was trembling with anger: Beiyang and Cai E, the two of them communicated with each other secretly, and exchanged eyebrows, what does it have to do with us in Sichuan?Why should we raise them in Sichuan?
Liu Yiqing said: "It's said in the secret agreement, if you don't agree, General, then the two of them will fight together."

I'm mad too!Chen Huan cried: Do you want to be so unreasonable?Do you want it?

14 This theory is a bit ridiculous
However, the secret agreement reached between Liu Yunfeng and Zhang Jingyao was originally not feasible due to the dense traps and intrigues.But with the fifth article, the prospect of cooperation between the two parties suddenly became clear.But just as Chen Huan judged, Cai E got the secret agreement, and when he saw the second article, he immediately became angry: Liu Yunfeng, what are you doing?Is this a secret agreement?I think you're just talking nonsense... Somebody, throw out Liu Yunfeng and his secret agreement!
