Chapter 211: The Governor's Trust (2)

Cheng Gongting is also a well-behaved person, seeing Feng Lu leading Zhao Guanhou to the corridor, he stayed in his seat and did not move, Zhao Guanhou and Feng Lu walked more than 20 steps, making sure that the voice would not be transmitted. Feng Lu only spoke: "Guanhou, the situation in Shandong is very different from that of Zhili. I heard people say that Shandong is now the world of foreign hairs and ermaozi, but I don't know the real situation and what it is. ”

"If you go back to the old army, Shandong now says that it is the world of foreigners, and this is mostly the words of boxers. There is still the Yellow Dragon Flag of our Dajin, how did it become a foreign world. But there are many foreigners, and this one exists. Because Shandong exterminated the boxers and bandits and prevented the boxers from flowing into Shandong, the contradictions between the people and religions could be calmed down as much as possible. Although the foreigners are savage, they can't catch our sore feet, and they can get along safely. ”

"It's good that there is nothing to do with each other, at least it won't be connected with arms, Yuan Rong'an is so blessed." Feng Lu muttered in a low voice, and then asked: "In the old dragon's head, there is a train of yours, saying that it is to bring the family of the new army back to Shandong?" I don't know if there are any empty seats in the car? ”

"The capacity of this car is limited, and the empty seats are very tight. But it is also necessary to divide people, and I dare not say that there are more than one hundred and ten seats, and I can still call the shots with my humble position. The only thing to worry about is the big luggage, which can't be moved. ”

Feng Lu looked happy, "That's good." I've got three wagons here to help you hang them up. It doesn't matter if the speed is slower, as long as you go out of Jinmen, I will send troops to send you a section, and the Flying Tiger Regiment will not dare to hit your train. You're going to do me a favor too. My wife died young, leaving behind seven daughters, some of whom were married to her mother-in-law, and three of whom were not yet suitable. They are also young and knowledgeable, and they watched the fun of practicing boxing, so they followed the red light of practice. Wearing red jackets and red pants every day, practicing the law in the yamen, it is very unseemly. You do me a favor and bring them to Shandong, without these boxers around them, they should take care of themselves, so that they don't always think about practicing boxing. Can this be done or can't? ”

With the status of the leader of Fenglu Jiangchen, if you want to contact the train to send your daughter away, there is no way to do it at present. But the question is, where to send people, that's the real key.

If he is not well settled, he is likely to become a lever for political enemies to attack him, saying that he is cowardly before fighting, transferring his family, and I don't know how many black pots there will be in the future, waiting to be buckled on his head.

The purpose of entrusting Zhao Guanhou is to settle down properly, ensure that his daughter's family has a worry-free life, and will not leak the news, so that he can get news on the way. Zhao Guanhou also understood, nodded and said: "Don't worry, the old army has the most families on the train, and no one can keep an eye on a few people to talk." When I arrived in Shandong, I would have my family Futai to take care of me, and I would not let a few young ladies suffer. ”

"Thank you so much. As soon as the old man's only concern is gone, he can rest assured, and I am not afraid of any situation that erodes. I don't know when your train will depart, so I'll get my little girl ready. ”

The two have set the schedule, and Feng Lu also knows that the officialdom will repay the favor, even if he is in a high position, but the current situation is tense, and there is no reason to let people help in vain. He took the initiative to say: "You can go to Beijing to suppress ammunition, you can't do it without bullets, my storehouse has 100 Cessie revolvers, 50 Cessian's rifles, and 5,000 rounds of ammunition. I'll give it to you, and tomorrow you can bring someone to pick up the guns and ammunition. ”

"Thank you for the love of the army, if the standard battalion around you is equipped with these ......"

"My standard camp, now they are all thinking about practicing boxing, they have Shinto protection, and what kind of foreign guns do they use!" Feng Lu said hatefully, "You just send someone to pick up guns and bullets tomorrow, these medicines are left, and they are useless, and if they fall into the hands of those people, they will be wasted." ”

He originally had three points of faith and seven points of doubt about the Flying Tiger Group, but he had the influence of the two kings of Duan and Zhuang, especially King Duan was the future emperor of Dajin, and Feng Lu could only compromise on the boxers. However, the boxers did not know moderation, and they had no respect for this governor, and they looked at each other. Now that he knows that his magical powers are all fake, Feng Lu hates it even more, and he doesn't even want to talk about the least face, and he doesn't have any good words about him in his words.

Zhao Guanhou thanked him first, and then said: "The army, here, there is a reluctant request, I hope the army can be fulfilled." ”

"You're welcome, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"It is said that there are many books in the library of the Beiyang Academy. Many of them are foreign books bought from the concession when the school was established, and it would be a pity if they were destroyed. It was the following officials who wanted to come and transport these books back to Shandong, and then transport them back after the calm of the wind and waves in the future. Many of the workers and technicians of the Jinmen Machinery Manufacturing Bureau also believe in foreign religion, and speaking of which, it is easy to be counted as two maozi and three maozi, and I want to send them back to Shandong first, but I don't know if the old army may be gracious. ”

Feng Lu originally thought that Zhao Guanhou was the same as the boxers, thinking about asking for money and food, and didn't want just some books and technicians. Those books have no stake in him, and they can't produce any economic benefits, and Feng Lu never cares. As for the mechanics, the Machine Manufacturing Bureau has now stopped production, and those mechanics don't make sense at all, he waved his big hand, "Take it and take it, anyway, those boxers are going to burn down the school, you can take it away, you don't have to ask for instructions." As for the mechanics, they settle down and spend a lot of money, and if you are willing to make up a sum of money, they are willing to leave, but you will suffer. ”

In the front yard of the governor's yamen, the big drama Wenzhaoguan is being staged, Zhang Decheng is the chief, and the four red scarves behind him hold flags and swords, and they are on duty in the back, and their prestige is better than that of the governor. At the top of him was a thin, but extremely strong middle-aged man, who was one of the important leaders of the Jinmen Flying Tiger Regiment, Cao Futian, the senior brother of the Kanzi Regiment, and Jiang Bu was the next one.

Jiang Bu was fascinated by watching the play, and from time to time he talked to Zhang Decheng about a few words, while Zhang Decheng had a leisurely demeanor, casually perfunctory, and his spirit was obviously not in the play.

Ding Jianming came from behind and muttered in Zhang Decheng's ear, Zhang Decheng said, "My belly...... It is estimated that the table is not clean today, so I have to reason with them. Got up and left the table, followed Ding Jianming, all the way to a secluded place, and the two stood still.

Ding Jianming said: "Uncle Shi, I listened to it, Zhao Guanhou was eating wine in the back garden and Fengzhitai, and the accompanying seat was Ermaozi Cheng Gongting. ”

"Sure enough, it was them, I said that Feng Zhengtai was good, how could they think of entertaining me to watch the play. set up the stage, and he didn't show his head, so he played with me. There are many eyes in the hearts of officials, and we croppers can't calculate them. ”

Ding Jianming pressed the hilt of the sword, "Uncle Shi, that dog officer is alone and has no guards, so it is better to take this opportunity to ......"

"What can you do if you take this opportunity? If you go to the back garden to kill him now, isn't that a clear way of not giving face to Feng Zhijun and Cheng Devils? After all, they are still officials on the ground in Jinmen, and we are the common people. It's really hurt to offend them, and everyone's life is not easy. So let this matter go for a while, I know about your holiday with him. The hatred of taking his wife, not sharing the sky, which old man to change, is also a white knife in and a red knife out. But now is not the time, when the foreigners are beaten away and those foreigners are destroyed, it is not too late to clean him up. Besides, if he helped Ermaozi today and killed our people, Lord Duan will not spare him. You don't need to do it, as soon as he enters the capital, maybe his head will fall off. ”

Zhang Decheng patted Ding Jianming's shoulder, "Killing Cheng Gongting and seizing the power of the former army of Wuwei is what Dong Wuxing means." Now in the capital, there are all the men and horses of the military guard, the surname Zhao is bad for Dong Ye, and he brought soldiers into Beijing, can Dong Wuxing spare him? It is much better to do it in the capital than to do it in front of the master of the army, after all, he doesn't want to return to Shandong alive, you can rest assured. Also, Feng Zhi is definitely yours, and you can't run. ”

Ding Jianming now has an unforgettable old love for Jiang Fengzhi, or simply doesn't want his former lover to belong to others, and even he can't understand. But anyway, the two were only one step away from becoming husband and wife, so they were naturally unwilling to give her up, and after hearing Zhang Decheng's words, his heart was a little better, but he still said:

"Uncle Shi, it's not for my personal vendetta that I want to mistake our big things. This kid came by train, and the car was back to Shandong. I heard that there is already a rumor on the ground in Tianjin, and his car is the last trip to Shandong in Jinmen in the near future. If he gets rid of all the rich people on the ground......"

"There's nothing wrong with that." Zhang Decheng smiled, "Feng Zhijun invited him, probably to send his family away, for fear that once the fight starts, the family will suffer losses." This is a good thing, having these people in the hands doesn't help us, but it gets in the way, always cares about the altars and jars. Our weapons are not as good as people, if we think about preserving the industrial house, how can we win the battle? As soon as these people leave, we can attack with fire, and we can fight as much as we want, but we let go of our hands and feet, so it's good to get them away. The daughters of Fengzhitai, we can't stop it, and it's not easy to stop it, but we just go back and tell the brothers that they can go, but they can only take away their clothes, gold and silver jewelry, and valuable and valuable items. These things are the people's fat and people's ointment, and they have to be taken back, and they can't be brought to Shandong. ”

Ding Jianming suddenly understood that although boxers also eat some big families these days, but big families have experience in preparing for theft, and important treasures are often hidden secretly, and it is difficult for outsiders to search out. When fleeing, most of these secrets could not be hidden, and they were just drawn out and plundered.

He was deeply influenced by Zhao Laozhu, and he was very resistant to this kind of robbery, but Zhang Decheng was the local leader, and he was just a guest general and a junior, so he could only obey. Moreover, the morale of the people is now maintained by gold and silver treasures, and if they are not allowed to have income, the team may also disperse.

"Uncle Shi, then I'll listen to you."

"That's right, Feng Lu didn't look at us, and we pretended to be confused with him. He has been a governor all these years, and he doesn't know how much people's money he has embezzled, this time let's give him a net, and then let's see who is crying and who laughs! ”

Feng Lu was beside him, and there were also the eyes and ears of the Flying Tiger Regiment, and as soon as the banquet dispersed, the Flying Tiger Regiment got the news here. Ding Jianming took a few subordinates and quietly came to the back door, if Zhao Guanhou was still on the road alone, he would rather fight to disobey the order than take a risk.

However, not long after Zhao Guanhou left the governor's yamen, a team of more than 100 people came with a red lantern. The leader is dressed in a strong suit and is holding a knife in his hand, who is it not Jiang Fengzhi.

Seeing the two holding hands, talking and laughing closely, Ding Jianming's teeth were sour, but he also knew that the stabbing was unsuccessful no matter what, so he had to spit and whispered: "Let's wait and see, and when we kill all the foreign hairs, we will settle accounts with you!" With a wave of his hand, he took his subordinates and turned back to the governor's yamen.

Jiang Fengzhi was not worried about Zhao Guanhou, so she specially brought a team of red light sisters to greet her, and those women did not dare to walk at night. But since I practiced boxing, there are a large number of sisters in and out, and I have become bolder, not only do not suffer from night travel, but deliberately gather in groups at night and light up the lights to travel, just for the sake of prestige.

Seeing the head of their family holding hands with this big official, some women made fun of Jiang Fengzhi, talking and laughing twice, the distinction between dignity and inferiority is not obvious, and it is precisely because of this that the Flying Tiger Regiment and Red Lantern can develop and expand their strength so rapidly.

The group of men and horses did not go far, only to see the lantern ball torch, like a fire dragon, and a group of men and horses had already lined up on the road. The first two people shone from a distance with a horse lamp, and then shouted: "Fourth! ”

It turned out to be Cao Zhongkun and Li Xiushan's men, and after getting Huo Qiu's message, Li Xiushan gathered one of his own battalions and came here to answer Zhao Guanhou. They knew the rules and did not dare to go near the governor's yamen, so they had to pick them up on the road, and with this battalion of gunners, they were really not afraid of anything.

On the way, many soldiers of the new army couldn't help but look at those young girls in red clothes and red pants, those big girls were not afraid of people, but looked at the way these soldiers carried guns, and felt that they were very powerful, which was very different from the troops they had seen in the past. Watching and laughing with them, men and women teach etiquette such as not kissing, and no one cares anymore.

When they arrived at Zhao Guanhou's house, after the three brothers arrived at the back room and sat down, Cao Zhongkun said: "Fourth, I think this means, many of our brothers have taken a fancy to these women. You tell Feng Zhi, there is no family, how about becoming a husband and wife with our people? With this relationship, they can still get on the train. ”

Zhao Guanhou shook his head: "Difficult!" Now they are on the rise, they all feel that they are invincible in the world, and if you let them think about running now, few people are willing. I'll talk about it, I don't think there are many that can make it happen. Third brother, take our people tomorrow, first go to the Yamen of the Governor of Zhili to carry guns and bullets, and then go to the Beiyang Academy to move the baby, get the list of people from the Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, and ask for a technician. This time the capital is not in vain, just moving this time is enough. After finishing this tomorrow, I want to meet Hou Xing and Ma Dabi, after all, they are old brothers, and they have to take care of it, this is a miracle disaster, as many people can be saved, as many people as they can be saved. ”

At dawn the next day, Li Xiushan's battalion, under the leadership of Zhao Guanhou, first arrived at the Yamen of the Governor of Zhili, and Fenglu's formalities had already been completed. The material official named Gao Sheng received the courtesy of Zhao Guanhou, and he was even more neat, and led them to open the door of the armory at a fast speed, and then pointed with his hand, and said very generously:

"Brothers, look at the move, you can take whatever you want. Anyway, the account of the treasury has long been messed up, and no one can tell how many things are left, and giving them to you is better than cheap boxers. Take whatever you want, take these, I'll take you to Xigu, where there are more ...... ordnance" (to be continued.) )
