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

Peng Zhongsheng and Zhou Zhenhao didn't know the value of the snuff bottle. It was from the palace and was valuable.

In one day, Shen Hao and his two companions cut off a total of 135 braids.

It can be said that the mission was successfully completed.

Back at the police station, the chief was very satisfied to see that Shen Hao had cut off 115 braids alone.

Before the director could speak, Shen Hao handed him a snuff bottle, which he had taken from Fu Hai's house.

It’s a waste if you don’t give it.

The director's eyes lit up, and he patted Shen Hao on the shoulder and said, "Haozi, when you first came in, I saw that you had a promising future. I didn't expect that you were so conscious. Not bad, not bad."

Amid the envious eyes of the crowd, the director said loudly:

"Everyone completed today's task well, especially Shen Hao, who completed 110 braids by himself."

Everyone was a little surprised, how could this be possible.

"Here, I recommend Captain Shen Hao"

Suddenly, the scene was quiet.

The captain manages five captains. Not only that, he is also in charge of work arrangements and is equipped with a gun.

The director's face darkened and he said coldly: "What's wrong? Don't you understand what I said?"

"Yes, Director."

Peng Zhongsheng and Zhou Zhenhao took the lead and applauded excitedly.

I was extremely happy in my heart. He was worthy of being Brother Hao. He was now the team leader.

Although everyone was not convinced, they could only applaud.

Then the director announced the appointment of five captains.

Among them, Peng Zhongsheng and Zhou Zhenhao both became team captains under the recommendation of Shen Hao.

This is the power of the snuff bottle.

Shen Hao said happily: "Thank you, Director, for inviting us all to drink today. Let's all go to Xinfenglou."

"it is good"

Then, everyone became excited.

It’s still very happy to have a banquet.

A table at Xinfenglou costs three dollars.

For these one hundred people, there must be at least ten tables, which costs thirty dollars. Everyone was secretly surprised at Shen Hao's financial resources.

You can't judge a book by its cover. Now I understand why Shen Hao can become the team leader.

Those who knew Shen Hao's background knew that although Shen Hao's family had fallen on hard times, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse and he must have some money in stock, and no one investigated the source of his funds.

As long as there is food and drink, it's fine.

The dissatisfaction in the hearts of many patrol officers also disappeared.

Of course, it was already quite nice of ordinary patrolmen to have a banquet.

The director and several team leaders, Shen Hao also arranged a new program, which is the Eight Great Hutongs.

10. The police station was surrounded

In the evening, Shen Hao invited the director and several team leaders to go to the Bada Hutong, and he came back alone.

When he came back, Shen Hao brought roast duck, wine and food.

The other people in the compound were drooling with envy when they saw Shen Hao carrying so many bags.

However, Shen Hao ignored them and went straight into the house.

Bao Shuang was sitting on a stool washing clothes when she suddenly saw Shen Hao coming in with a lot of bags. She was delighted.

She hurriedly said happily: "Husband, you are back"

Shen Hao laughed, picked up Bao Shuang, kissed her and said, "I told you to just call me husband from now on."

"Yeah, hubby," Bao Shuang said with a blush on her face;

Although I didn't understand why Shen Hao kept forcing me to call him husband, I still didn't object.

"Let's eat roast duck, and then we'll buy a yard to live in tomorrow," Shen Hao said.

Bao Shuang was surprised and said, "Buy a yard? Where can we get the money?"

Shen Hao said: "Don't worry about this. We have plenty of money. I promised you a good life and I won't break my promise."

A trace of worry flashed across Bao Shuang's eyes. She was afraid that Shen Hao would do something bad, but she didn't say it out loud.

"Hubby, just live an ordinary life. Life is good now. Don't take risks."

Shen Hao knew Bao Shuang's worries, took a deep breath and said: "These days, ordinary people are like grass and can't withstand the slightest wind and waves. We can only withstand the wind and waves by making the boat bigger."

Bao Shuang shook his head in confusion.

Shen Hao said: "Okay, this is not your concern, eat quickly"

"Um"

In the evening, Shen Hao happily enjoyed Bao Shuang's service.

At the same time, in Zhujia Hutong, one of the brothels in the Eight Great Hutongs.

A few soldiers were drunk and asked the brothel owner to find some young girls.

But who knew that business was good today and all the young ones were picked away.

The madam found a few old and ugly women and painted their faces with rouge.

As a result, he was discovered by the soldiers.

Then, he took people to look for it in other rooms.

I just happened to run into the director and several captains having fun.

As a result, a verbal altercation broke out between the two sides, which eventually led to a gunfight.

The next day, as soon as Shen Hao arrived at the police station, he heard crying.

Shen Hao frowned, somewhat confused.

After entering, the entire police station looked like a funeral home.

There were paper wreaths everywhere, and dozens of men, women, and children dressed in mourning clothes.

Crying together.

Shen Hao was puzzled and asked someone over, "What's going on? What are these people doing?"

"Captain, it's a good thing you didn't go to the Eight Great Hutongs last night, otherwise you would have died," a team member whispered;

Then, he asked Shen Hao to explain everything about the sound.

After finding out the reason, Shen Hao felt a little scared and had a clearer understanding of the cruelty of this society.

The five men who had just been appointed as team leaders yesterday and the director, a total of six people, were all beaten to death by the soldiers.

Peng Zhongsheng and Zhou Zhenhao were also beaten to death.

Shen Hao sighed a little. He had just recommended Peng Zhongsheng and Zhou Zhenhao to be captains, but they died. He was really unlucky.

"That soldier is so arrogant, how dare he be so arrogant in the capital," Shen Hao said;

The others also shook their heads, fear flashing in their eyes.

Obviously everyone knew who it was, but no one wanted to cause trouble.

Seeing this, Shen Hao gave the guy a pack of cigarettes and pulled him aside.

The other party then told him the origins of those soldiers.

"Captain, please don't worry about this matter. The other party is Lu Chengwu, we can't afford to offend him."

Shen Hao asked in confusion: "Who is Lu Chengwu? Is he very powerful?"

"Captain Lu Chengwu, don't you know?

He was a soldier in President Yuan’s guard staff.

More importantly, his father is Lu Jianzhang, the commander of the Presidential Guard and director of the Capital Military and Political Law Enforcement Department.

Let alone a few stupid patrolmen, even if they killed the chief of police in the city, nothing would happen."

Hearing this, Shen Hao suddenly understood.

He didn't know about Lu Chengwu, but Lu Jianzhang and Shen Hao knew him, the famous governor of Shaanxi Province.

Currently, he is one of Yuan Datou’s four police dogs.

Among the Beiyang heroes, Lu Jianzhang was not a prominent figure. Apart from his rather cowardly death, the only thing he could say about him was that he was cruel and ruthless, and was known as "Lu the Butcher" at the time.

His ancestors were well-off small landlords, and Lu Jianzhang developed the bad habits of eating, drinking, whoring and gambling when he was seventeen or eighteen years old.

In the winter of 1881, Lu Jianzhang was arrested and imprisoned for attempting to seize the property of a peasant widow and forcing her to remarry by violence.

In 1895, he trained the newly established army with Yuan Shikai.

Later, he was transferred to serve as the general of Caozhou Town in Shandong Province, the general of Gaozhou Town in Guangdong Province, the general of Beihai Town in Guangdong Province, and the commander of the Seventh Brigade of Gaozhou Town in Guangdong Province.

He is now the commander of the Presidential Palace Guard and director of the Beijing Military and Political Law Enforcement Department.

This guy became famous when he was the governor of Shaanxi Province.

In 1915, he was promoted to General Weiwu and was in charge of military affairs in Shaanxi Province.

From then on, Shaanxi Province became a territory directly controlled by the Beiyang warlords.

In Shaanxi Province, it can be said that they are guilty of all kinds of evil.

Lu Jianzhang dismantled the Shaanxi Army in Shaanxi, and most of the personnel in the General's Office and various agencies were from Anhui.

At that time, there was a folk song circulating in society: "If you can speak Mengcheng dialect, you will have a foreign knife hanging on your waist."

In order to consolidate his rule in Shaanxi, he carried out a large-scale terrorist activity by spies, closely monitored the people, and often dispatched several battalions of troops to hunt down revolutionaries. He also committed treason and looting wherever he went.

He set up many brothels in Chang'an, lifted the ban on smoking, increased taxes, and extorted and plundered the people of Shaanxi at will.

In order to make money, he sold precious cultural relics such as "Salu Zi" and "Quanmao Lu" from the "Six Horses of Zhaoling" to American cultural looters for 24 silver dollars.

In order to please Yuan Shikai's restoration of the monarchy, Lu recruited scholars in Chang'an to write letters of persuasion, and ordered people from various counties who were traveling to the province to sign on behalf of the counties.

In December of the same year, Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself emperor, and Lu was conferred the title of first-class earl for his contribution in persuading him to do so.

Lu Jianzhang's actions in Shaanxi aroused dissatisfaction and indignation from all parties, and the people of Shaanxi launched several "anti-Yuan and expel Lu" movements.

This also led to the former Shaanxi governor Chen Shufan rising up and launching a mutiny in Fuping, driving him out of Shaanxi Province.

After Fu Ping's mutiny, Lu Jianzhang became furious and killed innocent people indiscriminately. He even wanted to burn down the city of Chang'an. He gave up after facing opposition and obstruction from many parties.

Subsequently, Lu became extremely cruel and massacred people in the Chang'an Model Prison, killing more than 300 people and turning many innocent people into wronged souls, creating an unprecedented massacre.

In order to replace Lu Jianzhang, Chen Shufan threatened the life of his son Lu Chengwu and forced Lu Jianzhang to agree to give up the post of Shaanxi Governor.

He also recommended Chen Shufan to the Beijing government as the successor.

In May 1916, when Lu Jianzhang left Shaanxi, Chen Shufan summoned officials from the provincial capital to the Eight Immortals Temple in Xi'an to see him off.

There were more than 500 large carts lined up in front of the Eight Immortals Temple, all loaded with Lu's money and wealth extorted from the people of Shaanxi.

According to statistics, the value of his cash, antiques, opium, calligraphy and paintings, furs and treasures was about 3000 million taels of silver.

This guy was assassinated by Xu Shuzheng during his tenure.

The split between the Zhili and Anhui factions was caused by the death of Lu Jianzhang.

Lu Jianzhang's virtues were even better than those of others. This "director of the law enforcement department" was not good at solving problems, but was good at solving problems for those who raised them, which was something Yuan Datou liked very much.

Thinking of this, Shen Hao understood that he couldn't afford to offend this guy at the moment.

I also have a solution in mind.

Soon, the sound of horse hooves was heard.
