Republic of China: I am a great warlord, many children, many blessings

"Moreover, many of the defenders in Loudi barely put up any resistance."

Tang Xiangming waved his hand and said: "Call back the surrounding soldiers to defend Changsha."

"Yes"

Before Tang Xiangming could recover from the shock, more bad news came.

"Report, Guo Renzhang, who was guarding the provincial capital, arbitrarily transferred two battalions of mining police into the city."

At this moment, Tang Xiangming was like a rat crossing the street, and everyone was shouting and beating him.

Tang Xiangming gnashed his teeth and said, "Guo Renzhang, you actually want to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble. Are you trying to replace me?

Someone, kill this Guo Renzhang for me."

"Yes"

"Report, the revolutionary party Minyi Society in Changsha has organized more than 300 people and is besieging the prison to rescue Yang Peng, a backbone of the Minyi Society."

After Tang Xiangming became the governor of Hunan, he set up an investigation office in the provincial capital Changsha, which was specifically responsible for detecting and arresting revolutionaries.

He also appointed Hua Shixi, known as the "Living King of Hell", as the head of the military law department, who tortured and extorted confessions from arrested revolutionaries and illegally imposed heavy penalties on them.

More than 17000 innocent people were killed in Changsha.

Tang Xiangming killed people without blinking an eye and had a huge blood debt. He was known as "Tang the Butcher" and was "the number one executioner under Yuan Shikai."

Tang Xiangming was furious and said, "They are rebelling, they are rebelling, they are all rebelling, come and kill them, kill all the rebels in the prison.

Those who took advantage of the situation to cause trouble will all be destroyed, leaving no one alive."

"Yes, General"

At the same time, the entire city of Changsha was filled with gunfire.

All the people were so scared that they hid in their homes and dared not come out.

Zhang Qishan, who had just come to Changsha from the Northeast, also looked serious when he heard the gunshots.

He still didn't understand what was happening.

So, he summoned all the members of the Old Nine Gates and brought them to his villa.

Learned about the invitation from the Zhang family, the upper three of the Old Nine Gates.

Everyone from the Old Nine Gates rushed over.

Nine people sat down in Zhang Qishan's living room.

The handsome one is Er Yuehong, a famous actor from Changsha Huagu Opera Troupe.

The third one, the lame one, is Banjie Li, Li Zishan.

The fourth master Shui Huang, the fifth master Wu Lao Gou, the one holding the knife is the black-backed sixth master, and the very beautiful woman is Huo Sanniang, the only woman in the Old Nine Gates;

She is about 1.7 meters tall, wearing a cheongsam that shows off her slender figure to the fullest. Her skin is very white, and her hair is tied up, looking very delicate.

The eighth one is Qi Tiezui, the ninth one is Jie Jiuye;

At this moment, Zhang Qishan did not yet have the title of Zhang Dafoye.

This was also the first time that all nine gates of Changsha gathered together.

After Zhang Qishan came in, everyone bowed to each other.

After sitting down, Zhang Qishan said directly: "This is the first time that my Old Nine Sects have gathered together. It is really rare."

Master Jiu Jie held two walnuts in his hand and didn't say anything.

The bespectacled Lao Ba Qi Tiezui asked in confusion, "I don't know what you want to discuss with us this time?"

Zhang Qishan asked: "Changsha is in chaos now. Do you know what happened? I am still confused."

The Third Brother Banjie Li, the Fourth Brother Shuihuang, Wu Laogou, Blackback Laoliu, and Huo Sanniang all shook their heads. Although they had a lot of power in Changsha, the gunshots came too suddenly and Changsha was completely blocked at this moment, so they had no idea what was going on.

Master Jie Jiu coughed lightly and said, "I do have some news."

522. Isn't this cutting off our source of income?

Hearing this, everyone's eyes turned to Master Jie Jiu. Although Master Jie Jiu was from a lower class family, he had a wealthy family and was a businessman.

He monopolized the medicinal materials business in the French Concession in Shanghai and also owned two casinos. He had a wide network of contacts and was naturally well-informed.

Therefore, no one from the Old Nine Gates had any doubts.

Qi Tiezui asked hurriedly, "Master Jie Jiu, please stop keeping us in suspense and just tell us now."

Zhang Qishan said: "Master Jie Jiu, please speak quickly. This concerns the interests of all of us."

Master Jiujiu coughed lightly and said, "Changsha is in such a mess right now. I'm afraid the Guangdong Army is attacking. It may not be long before Tang Xiangming no longer has the final say in Hunan. It's time to change the owner."

Everyone was shocked. Guangdong Army?

The only army in Guangdong can be called the Guangdong Army.

Today, Shen Hao's army has become the number one warlord force in the country since its great victory in the tough battle with Japan.

With Tang Xiangming's strength, how could he possibly withstand it?

If the Guangdong Army took over Hunan, it would also have an impact on these prominent families in Changsha.

When Tang Xiangming carried out a massive massacre in Changsha, they, the Old Nine Gates, were also deeply influenced.

Huo Sanniang, Jie Jiuye and others all spent money to save their families.

Now that the governor has been changed again, they are unsure.

In particular, it is said that wherever the Guangdong Army goes, land reform will be carried out. The third half-length Li, the fourth water 123 locust, the fifth Wu Laogou, the black-backed sixth, the eighth Qi Tiezui

, not having much property or land doesn’t have much impact.

But both Huo Sanniang and Jie Jiuye have family property.

There are also many fields at home.

However, Master Jie Jiu had already prepared himself mentally. He did not care about those fields. As long as he could establish a good relationship with the Guangdong Army and it would not affect his business, he would give them away.

Perhaps thinking of the fields at home, Huo Sanniang asked, "Master Jie Jiu, is this news true?"

Master Jie Jiu nodded and said, "It is 100% true. You can rest assured about my source of information."

Zhang Qishan was somewhat interested. It seemed that this Mr. Jie Jiu had some connection with the Guangdong Army.

Qi Tiezui asked fearfully, "If the Guangdong army attacks us, they won't kill innocent people like Tang Xingming did, right?"

At that time, Tang Xiangming killed tens of thousands of people in Changsha. Everyone was terrified when they heard about it.

Master Jie Jiu smiled and said, "You can rest assured about this. The Guangdong Army has strict discipline. The first rule is that they are forbidden to take even a single needle or thread from the common people. They are absolutely a benevolent and righteous army.

This can be proved in Hubei, Yunnan, Fujian and other places.

Wherever the Guangdong Army went, they did not harm anyone."

Huo Sanniang hesitated for a moment and said, "My thousands of acres of land were planted with opium in response to Tang Xiangming's call.

I heard that the Guangdong Army is cracking down on opium. Will I lose my property?"

Master Jie Jiu said seriously: "That's for sure. Not to mention your opium, all the opium in Hubei Province will be severely cracked down.

Not only opium, but also all the opium dens will be closed down, and those who sell opium will be shot."

Zhang Qishan nodded and said: "These things that harm people should indeed be severely punished. I support this point."

Mr. Jie Jiu hesitated and said again: "It's not just opium, even tomb robbing is not easy. President Shen has issued an order to protect cultural relics and ancient tombs.

Tomb robbing is prohibited, and cultural relics are strictly prohibited from being lost abroad."

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall fell into silence.

The Old Nine Gates, also known as the Nine Gate Admirals, are all tomb-robbing families from Changsha.

This made them feel a little embarrassed.

Zhang Qishan, Er Yuehong and Banjie Li from Shangsanmen are all the heads of wealthy families. Their identities have long been whitewashed, and they have legitimate businesses. Their influence should not be underestimated.

Mr. Jie Jiu has completely stopped doing this business now.

People like Er Yuehong, Banjie Li, Zhang Qishan, Qi Tiezui, Jie Jiuye and others who don't make a living by tomb robbing don't care.

But not others.

Wu Laogou said: "Won't this cut off our source of income? How can this be possible?"

Blackback Laoliu was still playing with the knife with an expressionless face.

Huo Sanniang's face was not good either. Their Huo family was also in the business of business.

But many of them are related to antiques.

Where did this antique come from? It must have been obtained by Wu Laogou and Heibei Laoliu from Pingsanmen. (cgbc)

Now, if we do this, won’t it force them to change their careers and cut off their source of income?

Zhang Qishan, Er Yuehong, Banjie Li and others think that there is nothing wrong with this policy.

However, they didn't know how to say it.

After all, they are all from a family of tomb robbers who made their fortunes from tomb robbing.

Now that he has been cleared of all charges, it would seem as if he were taking advantage of someone's misfortune if he continues to make sarcastic remarks about him.

For a moment, there was silence in the room.

Qi Tiezui smiled and said, "If you are not allowed to rob tombs, then just change your career. Anyway, I think it's not bad to live the rest of my life in peace and stability.

Better than dying in a grave."

Huo Sanniang suddenly asked, "What about the Xiangling sect in Changsheng Mountain?

They have tens of thousands of troops and are the bullies of the Xiangjiang underworld. We can't afford to offend them.

Are they willing to do that?

If tomb robbing is not allowed, what will they eat and drink?"

Changsheng Mountain is the largest underworld force in the two lakes. Even the Old Nine Gates have to admit defeat and dare not offend it.

Everyone was also curious. After all, the scale of their Old Nine Sects was far smaller than that of the Xiangling Sect in Changsheng Mountain.

Master Jie Jiu explained: "You don't know that the Xiangling faction has all surrendered to the Yuejunling.

There are more than 10,000 people from Xiling attacking Tang Xiangming this time. I think we will see them soon."

Everyone gasped.

The Xiangling faction is the largest underworld force in the nearby provinces, and now they have surrendered.

The Xiangling sect of Changsheng Mountain has given in, so what are the Old Nine Sects?

Huo Sanniang opened her mouth, but swallowed the words back.

She understood that her voice was too weak in the face of the general trend.

The Guangdong Army not only carried out land reform, burned opium, and banned the reselling of cultural relics, but these blows were too fatal to the Yuhuo family.

This made her instinctively feel a little averse to the Guangdong Army.

She hated it so much that if the Guangdong Army hadn't come, the Huo family would still be living a carefree life.

Master Jie Jiu said solemnly: "Here, I advise everyone that there is no need to make unnecessary sacrifices.

Even Chen Yulou, the chief leader of Changsheng Mountain, has been recruited, so what are we?

Tang Xiangming was able to get whatever he wanted in Hunan and killed more than 10,000 people. Now he is like a stray dog, living in a state of panic all day long.

I won’t explain in detail how powerful the Guangdong Army is.

I just want to say one thing, go with the flow and don’t take detours.”

Zhang Qishan's heart moved. He felt that the relationship between Mr. Jie Jiu and the Guangdong Army must be complicated, otherwise he would not know so much.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qishan felt that this was an opportunity.

An opportunity to join Shen Hao.

Zhang Qishan had long ago decided to quit the tomb-robbing business and wanted to become an official, as being an official was the right path;

Thinking of this, Zhang Qishan said: "Master Jie Jiu, could you please introduce me to the representatives of the Guangdong Army? I am willing to join them with all the power of the Zhang family, make some contribution to the Guangdong Army's capture of Changsha, and donate 30,000 yuan."
