Volume 4 The Battle of Unification Chapter 671 Judgment
Hearing him flatter himself so much Duan Qirui couldn't get angry with Wang Maoru, this kid can be a man and speak, he is really as cunning and abnormal as a nine-tailed fox, he lost to this person, he was used by him several times, and finally he sold it and helped count the money This kid really has a delicate heart, and I don't know who can cure him, in the past few years, Wang Maoru's methods seem to be more aggressive and more spicy, think about himself at his age, and he is still living in the army. Duan Qirui shook his head and no longer recalled the past, and sighed: "During my reign, there were endless wars, alas, speaking of which, I originally intended to unify China by force, but in the end I even folded into it. ”
Wang Maoru said: "Zhilao's will is of course excellent, but the reunification of force is not suitable for China's national conditions, after all, we are compatriots, and we can try not to fight or try not to fight." What are you calling for? All military personnel want the country to be rich and strong and at the same time they themselves will be rich, and in the face of the torrent of history, any force that violates the laws of history will collapse...... However, it does not have to be by force. Wang Maoru paused, and said with a smile: "Just like the Anhui system is merged into the central government, it is negotiated, and the direct merger into the central government is also negotiated, the Northwest Army, the Jin Army, are all negotiated." If you talk about fighting, only Zhejiang is fighting. ”
"The Zhejiang army resisted stubbornly, and there was more than enough to die." Duan Qirui said first, "But Xiusheng, I came today, I guess you know the reason, Lu Yongxiang and you are just fighting for will, not a personal grudge, I heard that the two of you have a good personal relationship?" ”
Wang Maoru knew what Duan Qirui's purpose was for coming today, and he also intended to let Lu Yongxiang live. Plainclothes as a difficulty: "Old Zhi, I am also very embarrassed about Lu Yongxiang's treason. ”
Duan Qirui said: "Whether Lu Yongxiang is treason or not has not yet been determined, and it cannot be judged from this. Wang Maoru hurriedly said yes, and Duan Qirui said: "I know that you want to unify China, and this Lu Yongxiang is a stone for you, but now that Lu Yongxiang has been defeated, why bother to kill them all?" Xiusheng, you can reuse Wu Peifu and Zhang Zuolin. Why bother holding on to Lu Yongxiang? ”
Wang Maoru smiled bitterly twice and said, "Lu Yongxiang...... Alas, I don't know the current affairs, I don't know the current affairs. He paused. He also said: "Old Zhi, this person is equivalent to treason, whether he is guilty or not, naturally there is a national conclusion, how dare the Xiusheng soldiers interfere with the government." ”
Hearing Wang Maoru's words, Duan Qirui was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and said, "Xiusheng, I came here today to use my old face. In exchange for Lu Yongxiang's life. "Say it. He got up and knelt down to Wang Maoru, Wang Maoru and Feng Yinbin hurriedly stopped Duan Qirui, Duan Qirui said: "It's worth it to exchange this for a person's life." ”
Wang Maoru hurriedly said: "Isn't Old Zhi scolding me? Don't do that, get up. I promise you. When Duan Qirui got up, Wang Maoru smiled bitterly and said, "Old Zhi, why are you doing this?" At the beginning of the battle of Zhiwan, Lu Yongxiang did not send a single soldier. The director zhì Anhui was defeated. Now you are interceding for him, even so...... Alas, old Zhi, why are you like this? ”
"Lu Yongxiang doesn't know the current affairs, but after all, he is my old subordinate, and I can't die without help." Duan Qirui said.
Duan Qirui pulled down his face to face Wang Maoru and begged for Lu Yongxiang's life, which surprised many people, even Cao Kun was also surprised, he didn't expect Duan Qirui, who was old enough to go home to recuperate, would ask for people like this, and said to the left and right that Duan Qirui was really dedicated to Buddha. After Duan Qirui's promise to Wang Maoru, he met with the Anhui officials in Beijing a few times, and told them to carefully look at the form, now the time is different from the past, the Anhui system has disappeared in the long river of history, and the direct line has also disappeared. After saving Lu Yongxiang's life, Duan Qirui's wish came to an end and returned to Tianjin, although Wang Maoru repeatedly retained, Duan Qirui rejected Wang Maoru with the idea of seeking Buddha.
Later, Yuan Kewen also came to Beijing, found Wang Maoru, and once again mentioned that he pleaded with Wang Maoru to save Lu Yongxiang's life. Wang Maoru knew that Yuan Keding had always hoped that Yuan Kewen would return to the Yuan family to live, so he said that it was okay to save Lu Yongxiang, but you have to go back to the Yuan family, the Yuan family brothers and sisters have only one Yuan Kewen as the backbone, but the second son can't abandon the Yuan family. Yuan Kewen has also lived in Shanghai for a long time and misses his family, but the dispute with his eldest brother makes him unwilling to live with his eldest brother. After Yuan Keding learned about it, he asked someone to bring a gift to Wang Maoru to express his gratitude, and he also owed Wang Maoru a favor.
Two days later, when the National Defense Army submitted evidence to Yuan Keding, the official of the National Court, it submitted evidence that Lu Yongxiang voluntarily surrendered, proving that Lu Yongxiang did decide to surrender first, and then was arrested by the National Defense Army. Subsequently, a group of Anhui officials also assured Lu Yongxiang that Lu Yongxiang would never commit treason again in the future, and Lu Yongxiang was criticized in the newspaper
The sentence was also changed to sympathy.
The citizens of Beijing immediately noticed the trend of the newspaper and pointed out that Lu Yongxiang would definitely not die, and Lu Xiaojia, who was hiding in Shanghai, heard Yang Yuxun's analysis, so he swaggered out without any concern and went to Shanghai World to show off.
Subsequently, after two months of trial, the ** official Yuan Keding first vetoed Lu Yongxiang's treason, but his dereliction of duty, corruption and other crimes were inevitable, Lu Yongxiang was relieved of all government powers, and took the initiative to hand over the corruption and bribery over the years, and took the initiative to confess all the real estate deeds, and finally was acquitted and returned to Jiyang County, Shandong Province to become a field housekeeper. And Lu Xiaojia's death also made Lu Yongxiang feel that he would repay it.
At the beginning, Lu Xiaojia was fighting with Huang Jinrong for Huang Jinrong's woman, he came forward to arrest Huang Jinrong, and forced Huang Jinrong to kowtow to his son Lu Xiaojia in front of all walks of life in Shanghai.
A few days later, a richly dressed Shanghai dancer came to the Lu family's old house in Jiyang to find Lu Yongxiang, held a one-year-old boy, knelt in front of Lu Yongxiang and said: "Uncle, I am Lan Feng, a dancer in Shanghai World, this is my son and Xiaojia, Xiaojia left me a sum of money for child support. Now Huang Jinrong sent someone to cut down the grass and eradicate Xiaojia's only son, and I was really worried that the child would die in Shanghai, so we took refuge in you, hoping that you would save us in the face of your own grandson. Lu Yongxiang looked at Xiaojia's widow, the child was exactly the same as Lu Xiaojia when he was a child, and he suddenly burst into tears. Lu Yongxiang adopted the boy and named him Lu Liming, and thirty years later led the night owl special forces to assassinate the famous German general Rommel and became a national hero. And even if Lu Yongxiang went into the wilderness, he was also a person with a military background, and he was in Shandong, and the killer hired by Huang Jinrong in Shanghai was arrested as soon as he came to Jiyang County, and confessed to Huang Jinrong under severe torture.
The police hurriedly reported to the top, and the top passed through several layers to transfer the news to Wang Maoru, Wang Maoru sent people to keep an eye on the news of the marshals who went to the field, such as Lu Yongxiang, Duan Qirui and others, after learning that the Shanghai Youth Gang Huang Jinrong was so arrogant, he made up his mind to eradicate the Green Gang. So he ordered the Road Airlines Paratroop Brigade to exterminate the Shanghai Youth Gang and eliminate Huang Jinrong, Zhang Xiaolin and others. (See Chapter 650 for details)
As for Lu Yongxiang's think tank Xu Shuzheng, Wang Maoru was originally going to be sentenced heavily, but Lu Yongxiang was very righteous and took all the charges on his head, but instead gave Xu Shuzheng all the blame. Wang Maoru knew that Xu Shuzheng was doing some things, but he couldn't punish him, he didn't know how to deal with it after thinking about it, and he couldn't keep it closed. At this time, Feng Yuxiang, commander of the 73rd Brigade of the 26th Division, came to the War Department, and a young man wearing a white silk on his head knelt in front of Wang Maoru crying.
When Lu Jianzhang was shot dead by Xu Shuzheng, Feng Yuxiang once gritted his teeth and said that he must avenge his uncle, but now that he learned that Xu Shuzheng was arrested, Feng Yuxiang came with Lu Jianzhang's son Lu Chengwu. Feng Yuxiang has a strange temperament and an upright temper, never talks about methods when he speaks and does things, and goes straight to the point, so he is very excluded in the Beiyang Army and has always been depressed. However, among the Beiyang warlords, Lu Jianzhang was the only one who valued him, not only promoted his military rank, but also married his niece to him. Feng Yuxiang failed in the Luanzhou uprising, and it was Lu Jianzhang who saved him. When Lu Jianzhang served as the overseer of Shaanxi, he promoted Feng Yuxiang all the way to the mixed brigade commander, which gave Feng Yuxiang his own team and foundation. Lu Jianzhang has the grace of knowing Feng Yuxiang and has a relative, how can he be kind to Xu Shuzheng, let alone Lu Chengwu, who is not the same as Xu Shuzheng.
However, the request of the two to shoot Xu Shuzheng was directly rejected by Wang Maoru, although there is revenge to revenge is the husband, but Xu Shuzheng is his own prisoner at this time, if he wantonly shoots prisoners of war without trial, it will cause extremely strict consequences in the domestic military, Wang Maoru will naturally not do this.
"Xiushuai, please call the shots for me, my father died unjustly." Lu Chengwu cried again, he had seen Wang Maoru before, but at that time, Wang Maoru was only the brigade commander of the border army, how could he be as beautiful as he is now, holding the military power in the world.
"This matter needs to be judged, you can't act recklessly, and it was a few years ago, so it's not easy to deal with." Wang Maoru said.
Feng Yuxiang stood aside and suddenly asked coldly: "Xiushuai, how are you going to explain?" You mean you won't deal with him Xu Shuzheng, right? His tone was aggressive, and he had the potential to ask the teacher for guilt.
Wang Maoru was stunned when he heard this, and Feng Yinbin on the side said angrily: "Presumptuous! Who are you? Talking to Xiu Shuai like this? And the guard Li Ziqi even took out a pistol and put it directly on Feng Yuxiang's head, and said angrily: "Sani Nai! Dare to speak like this to Xiushuai? ”
